Heavy rainfall doesn't deter fans from first Kansas football game By Maggie Newcomer mnewcomer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer University of Kansas fans may have needed to cover their Jayhawk apparel in bland ponchos, but they couldn't hide their Kansas spirit. Soaked with rain, more than 27,500 fans piled into Memorial Stadium, batting the weather to watch the Jayhawks' 28-20 loss Saturday to Northwestern. Kevin Will, Overland Park senior said nothing could stop him from watching the team match-up against Northwestern's Wildeats. Will's original plan was to head over to the stadium a few hours before the game to tailgate with friends. When the weather didn't agree, he and his roommates instead moved the tailgate to their porch at 939 Indiana St. "Rain won't stop us," Will said. "Not in the least bit." In his post-game news release, Coach Mark Mangino paid homage to KU fans who sat through the rain. "The players appreciated it. I appreciated it," Mangino said. "That's the kind of spirit that we need." The University's alcohol policy kept fans from getting sloshed. See Page 3A. Alex Carr, Topeka senior and one of Will's roommates, said he wouldn't let a little rain keep him from Kansas' season opener. He said he wasn't surprised so many fans showed up. "People were excited to cheer on the Jayhawks in what we hope is a championship season," he said. Ross Cleveland, Anthony senior, said he and his friends considered skipping the game, but then decided to go. He also planned to tailgate before the game, but instead enjoyed the traditional tailgate fare — beer, chips, and barbecue — in the comfort of his own home. "We were sopping-ass wet by the end." Cleveland said. Cleveland and his friends cheered on the lavahawks until the bitter end. Even though the Jayhawks didn't end the night with a victory, Cleveland said he enjoyed himself. "I would definitely go again, even if it's raining," Cleveland said. "We've got to support the team." — Edited by Ehren Meditz KC Courtnav Kuhlen/Kansan Living wage celebrated By Meghan Brune mbrune@ku.edu Kansas丈.edu This Labor Day the Kaw Valley Living Wage Alliance could truly relax for the first time in three years. "Here in Lawrence, Kansas, we have a victory to celebrate on Labor Day," Mayor David Dunfield said. "We will have a living wage." The grassroots organization has been laboring for three years in support of a living wage ordinance in Lawrence. The alliance defines a living wage as an income necessary to keep a family of three 30 percent above the poverty line. Yesterday the alliance held its third annual Labor Day celebration and ice cream social at South Park, 12th and Massachusetts streets. CAMDENBURG, N.J. — Members of the Big Bang Theory (the show) came to Brooklyn for a celebration of Earth Day on Monday. Jared Soares/Kansar Speakers Included representatives from the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice and the Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods. Bill Getz, Paul Fairchild, Christine Smith and Joe Douglase, Lawrence residents and members of the New World Order Peace Choir, performed during the annual Living Wage Labor Day Picnic yesterday. The event included awareness booths and live music. There were also musical acts, including locals Tim O'Brien, Jordan Geiger and Arthur Dodge, who entertained a crowd of more than 100 supporters throughout the day. There were raffle drawings for donated prizes in between the acts. City commissioners Dennis "Boog" Highberger, David Schauner and Mike Rundle spoke at the celebration. Highberger said he thought attendance was down from last year because of cooler weather. "Or maybe people think we have already won," Highberger said.

State Area teen drowns in attempt to wade local flooded creek George W. Robison, 18, of Overland Park, and two friends were wading in Indian Creek about 2 p.m. Sunday and were quickly swept downstream, said Leawood Fire Chief Ben Florance. Bystanders pulled two of the teens to safety, but they were unable to rescue Robison. Friends told firefighters Robison was an experienced swimmer. More than 75 emergency workers, including several in boats, searched for the teenager Sunday. The search was hampered by the strong current and the need to stop and rescue other teenagers from the creek. Emergency workers pulled at least 11 teens and their rafts from the water late in the afternoon. Three teens in one raft told workers they wanted to help in the search. Teens in another raft told the rescuers they wanted to go Colorado-style river rafting. Several dozen rescuers and six dogs returned yesterday to search from boats and along the shore, said Tyler Butts, a spokesman for the Overland Park Fire Department. The Associated Press World Arab TV station Al-Jazeera publishes Web site in English DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The Arab satellite station Al-Jazeera launched an English-language Web site yesterday, five months after hackers brought down a temporary site at the height of the Iraq war. Susi Sirri, news coordinator and spokeswoman, said the site aimed "to fill a niche for English speakers who want to get the other side of the story, the Arab perspective." "We are following Al-Jazeera's model: opinion and counter-opinion. That is the motto of the (organization)," Sirri told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from Qatar. The English site works closely with the television station and its Arabic Web site, launched in 2001, but also has its own staff of nearly 50 Western and Arab journalists, Sirir said. A temporary version of English.aljazeera.net went online March 24 to cover the war but was soon brought down by hackers.

But the long-awaited alcohol policy change that occurred in 2001 hasn't been all roses. Some students want the University to expand the rules about alcohol further so tailgating can continue into game time. Nick Blasi, Wichita senior, said students should be able to tailgate whenever they wanted. "Tailgating brings a unity to the fans that the players have on the field." Blasi said. Joel Rayl, Hutchinson senior, said there should be a compromise on the University's alcohol policy. "An extra 10 or 20 minutes would be great," Rayi said. "Tailgating brings a unity to the fans that the players have on the field." Nick Blasi Wichita senior The University policy on alcohol states that consumption of alcoholic beverages outside of Memorial Stadium during tailgating activities may begin no earlier than three hours prior to kickoff and must end no later than 30 minutes after kickoff. The policy also states that remaining alcohol beverages must be transported off campus after the end of the game. the game. Trisha Reuber, Atwood senior, was one of the few Jayhawk fans to brave the cold and rain to tailgate in the parking lot before Saturday's game. Reuber said tailging created a positive atmosphere for the games, and generally didn't create any problems. "We're just grilling, hanging out with friends and drinking a few beers before the game." Reuber said. "It brings people together and sets an air of excitement." The alcohol policy also prohibits consumption of alcohol on city streets near Memorial stadium such as Mississippi Street, Maine Street, 11th Street, and J.R. Pearson Drive. Alcohol is also prohibited in the lots north of 11th Street or east of Mississippi Street. The alcohol policy states that individuals participating in tailgating activities and drinking alcohol are responsible for their own behavior.

New Kyou portal launches today By Amber Byarlay abyarlay@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Today at noon, a newer, more advanced Kyou portal is scheduled to be launched. The new portal will put numerous University of Kansas Web sites in one place, said Allison Lopez, assistant to the vice provost for information services. The portal is a single Web site that will allow KU students, faculty and staff access to a number of Web sites they may commonly use. Lopez said the newer version of the portal would offer links to Blackboard, the University's library services, KU Info, weather and online enrollment, among other things. The portal will also allow students working on papers to save information,such as bookmarks or papers and notes, onto their individual portals. Students can then access this information any place where they have Internet acces This will eliminate the need for for computer disks, Lopez said. Julie Loats, Web administrator for Academic Computing Services, said the portal would be "A portal is never done, like a good Web site is never done," Loats said. "You're always adding functionality." updated continuously. Loats said the University was not behind the curve in portal development. She said the technology for the portals was only three to four years old. "The technology is relatively new," Loats said. "We have made incredible time since we started last fall." The University began working with the software in Fall 2002 and had it available by Spring 2003. The portal was used to allow students to enroll online last spring. Lopez said the earlier version of the portal that students had used was an example of what could be offered. Each individual portal will be geared toward the person who uses it so that no two portals will be exactly alike, Lopez said. saru. The updated portal was funded by the tuition enhancement funds and funds from the University's Information Services. - Edited by Abby Sidesinger Senators retreat from mandatory conference By Paul Kramer pkramer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politic's media room was ready to seat 90 student senators for Saturday's mandatory training retreat. Of the projected number, about 50 senators filled the wood-paneled room for the day-long conference Surrounded by pizza boxes, water bottles and baskets of fruit, those student leaders who sacrificed a day of their holiday break learned the ins and outs of being a senator. But it wasn't the free food, the newly added diversity training nor the beefed-up session on bill writing that caught the attention of the attendees. It was the empty seats. Lase Ajayi, residential senator, said she was disappointed with the lack of attendance. "People just wanted to leave for the holiday and made up excuses," she said. Alaji said she appreciated the effort that event organizer Catherine Bell, student body vice president, put into increasing the detail of the parliamentary procedure session, but wished the absent senators would have "sucked it up and came." Bell said she worked on the conference all summer to try to educate the senators, and for the "People just wanted to leave for the holiday and made up excuses." Lase Ajayi Residential senator most part, was pleased with the results. But she was also disappointed with the turn-out. Bell said the retreat was important because returning senators had an opportunity to share their experiences while the new senators asked questions, a luxury those who did not attend will miss out on. It's difficult to remain positive when not everyone shows up," she said. Cribb Altman, CLAS senator, said his favorite part of the conference was getting to know some of the people he would be working with all year. He said that being at the conference was never a question for him. It was something he thought he needed to be a part of. All senators will meet Wednesday night for the first full Senate meeting of the year. Senators who were not able to make the session will have a make-up retreat one evening in the next couple of weeks.

Bob Turvey, project manager of student administration implementation, said the change occurred because the University combined the information from four database systems into one system. This new system identifies stu- Turvey said students would have to use the seven-digit number for things the six-digit number was used for now. But because the system is new, both the six-digit and seven-digit numbers can be used for now. "We've got a year or more of transition before the six-digit number becomes inconsequential." Turvey said. Students can find both their ID numbers by logging onto the Enroll and Pay system and accessing personal portfolio information. Students then need to click on the demographic data option in lower left. Two numbers are given for the demographic information. The campus ID is the six-digit number and the ID number is the seven-digit number. KUID cards won't be affected by the change. Information stored on the card's magnetic strip contained both numbers and should work, regardless of which number the University uses Turvey said students did not need to replace their KUIDs,but if they did, the seven-digit number would be printed on the card. Incoming students have the seven-digit number on their cards, Turvey said. Hilary Betley, Washington D.C. junior, said she didn't have a problem with a change in numbers as long as it made the system easier for those who used it. "Change is the only thing you can count on, and you have to be flexible when something new comes along."

Oliver Stone movie. The seemingly surreal story of the Baylor basketball team turned out to be all too real, spawning a cast of one dead player and another in jail, accused of murder. Enter one desperate coach caught conspiring to hide the situation, and the result becomes a four-star tragedy of a university's image left shattered. city's image tell shape. Beyond the facts of the case, a major reality thrust to the forefront is that a university's image goes hand-in-hand with its athletics department. Baylor is not the only Big 12 Conference school to experience problems in its athletics department. The University of Missouri finds itself in the midst of its own saga, with allegations of academic improprieties within the athletics department. department. But all other events pale in comparison to Bavlor's. Former Bears player Carlton Dotson was charged with killing his teammate, Patrick Dennehy. Then investigators found instances of drug use, illegal money transfers and a cover-up conspiracy that police say point to the tutelage of coach Dave Bliss. Baylor, a Baptist university previously well-respected in the academic arena, cannot shake its image from the events of its basketball team. its basketball team. A university draws less and less attention for what it was chartered to do; provide students with a higher education. Inversely, it receives headlines for its sporting accomplishments and demerits, particularly those of revenue sports such as football and men's basketball. ketball. A solid athletics program can produce stellar results for a university and its student body. dent body. But the trend lately has turned to highly publicized run-ins with the law. The University of Kansas suffered a few gaffs of it own, most notably two years ago when football players Mario Kinsey and Reggie Duncan stole a student's purse and ordered pizza with the credit cards. National press picked up on the story and it amounted to an embarrassing tale for Kansas. With the undeniable reality that a university often shares a closer bond with its athletics than academics, it becomes critical for the new athletics administration at Kansas to ensure future mishaps do not happen. It starts with the hiring of a competent and clean administrative staff. Baylor's administration failed to comply with NCAA rules, refusing to report players' positive drug tests. The University's athletics department must also institute a greater mandate for accountability of its athletes. The administration must ensure that small problems do not lead to larger ones through the use of quick discipline. Baylor basketball players had been mired in drug use and conflict that was swept under the rug. Left ignored, such issues usually turn into larger problems that carry far greater implications beyond just the players and coaches. The implications reach the entire university sitting before the nation's eyes. Steve Vockrodt for the editorial board O₂ BAR Who says you can't put a price on the air we breathe? Wow, Grandma, this is an activity we can both enjoy! Don't take college for granted, no matter where you study perspective COMMENTARY The Fall 2003 semester has started anew. KU students will have a lot of opportunities to party, meet new friends and get motivated for future careers. To succeed in society is the goal of many when they graduate from college. But we all have to decide our own attitude toward college life. Kengo Terada opinion@kansan.com own attitude towards In Japan, the attitude of a student is very different from a student in the U.S. It is a magnificent status when you are able to be a student in my country, because getting into college is hard for every applicant. There are five times as many applicants as there are openings. If you are trying to get in to a public school, you may have to prepare for a year or more after graduating from high school. school. However they survive the competition, Japanese college students feel like they are in limbo once they're in school. Everyone encourages them to have fun. Generally, college in Japan is limitless. You can do whatever you want, not only academically, but also socially. In the United States, there seems to be more pressure to complete college quickly. Unfortunately, many Japanese college students do not understand what freedom they have until they graduate and start a career. Then, they may recognize that companies expect them to work almost seven days a week. So while they are in college, students in Japan focus on partying. An example of how this attitude can get students into trouble is the Super Free rape case. The owners of a club called Super Free were accused of sexual assault and being accessories in the matter. In my country, rape is rarely reported, especially rape caused by college students. The club, organized by students, had several branches in Japan and made good money. As a result, 300 to 400 students were gathering for parties. Several rapes were reported, and people were shocked. It proved how once the party got out of control, people ended up getting hurt. This is an example of how students in Japanese colleges often lose their goals and priorities in college. In this case, students were crazy about the club. They should have invested their college lives in other activities. activities. Colleges in the United States still force you to study and come to class. You have to keep a balance of study and vacation, or you might have a hard time catching up with others in the class. The students care about grade point average, which reveals what you can get from your career, in the future. Students in the United States rush through school more than Japanese students. students. Students have many reasons for going to college, such as the ability to spend their time however they want. In Japan, society is still doing well. So I cannot tell which way of college life is better: the American or Japanese. The ultimate goal for students is to graduate college and to succeed in society. All students should establish how they chase that goal as best they can. - Terada is a Kashiwa, Japan, junior in journalism.

"We were predicting that this year would be worse than last, so we've been gearing up," said Sharon Watson, public information officer for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. West Nile has killed one Kansan, a 93-year-old Butler Countyman on Aug.21. The virus has been confirmed in 16 others. Several other human cases, including the case of a Lawrence man, are under investigation but have yet to be confirmed. Last year the state reported a total of 22 human cases and no deaths. Traditionally, West Nile hits hardest in August and September. Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said Watkins was on the watch for West Nile, but had not treated any known cases. Symptoms of West Nile are usually mild and include a headache, low fever and muscle aches. Because West Nile symptoms are often similar to that of a common virus or flu it is difficult to immediately diagnose, Strother said. "If you come in with just a mild headache or fever, we're going to treat it like a virus," Strother said. "If you're not getting any better within two days, that's how you tell. That's when we start worrying about it." The KDHE estimates that one in 150 people infected with West Nile will develop a more severe form of the disease. Symptoms of severe cases include high fever, stiff neck, difficulty walking, convulsions and muscle weakness Those most at risk for developing severe symptoms are those with weak immune systems, especially young children and the elderly. Watkins' staff members have been meeting with housing directors, residence assistants and students to spread the word about West Nile. Kim Ens, disease control program coordinator for the Douglas County Health Department, said preventing mosquito bites was still the best way to avoid Wasil Nile. To avoid mosquito bites, KDHE recommends limiting outdoor activities during dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active, using insect repellent containing DEET and wearing protective clothing when possible. Edited by Nikki Overfelt By Kevin Kampwirth kkampwirth@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The number of cases of a harmful microscopic parasite in the Lawrence area rose to 22 over the weekend. weekend. The first reported case of cryptosporidium in Lawrence came in early July. The parasite is spread by human and animal waste and easily passed in swimming pools. mong po. Health officials have not determined how the parasite spread in Lawrence. Last week, four area pools were closed and disinfected as a precaution. Cryptosporidium has symptoms similar to those of stomach flu, including diarrhea, stomach cramps and slight fever. It is generally not fatal, but can be to those with weak immune systems, such as children and the elderly. One University of Kansas student was treated for cryptosporidium at Watkins Health Parasite cases increase to 22 Center in early July. Myra Strother, senior student health physician at Watkins, said that was the only case treated there. "We have been closely monitoring the situation since then to make sure it doesn't spread anymore." Strother said. The parasite can survive outside a host body for long periods of time and can resist the chlorine used to disinfect swimming pools. poors. Megan Lynch, Highland Park, Ill., senior, said she was concerned, but it wouldn't keep her from swimming. "The chance of getting it is too low for me to worry," Lynch said. Concern that cryptosporidium may infect the city's water supply has led city officials to test water treatment plants this week as a precaution. The city began testing for the presence of cryptosporidium in the water supply after an epidemic infected the Milwaukee water supply in 1993, killing 100 people while infecting 400,000. For now, officials just want people to be aware that the parasite is present and to take precautions. cautions. "Anyone feeling poorly or having diarrhea for more than a couple of days should probably come in and get checked out," Strother said. The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, 200 Maine St., is monitoring the situation with the Federal Center for Disease Control. Kay Kent, director of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, said the department sent surveys to four Lawrence-area grammar schools in an attempt to monitor and track the spread of the parasite. The department is also offering free stool specimen sampling, available at the department offices, to anyone concerned about contracting cryptosporidium. — Edited by Joey Berlin SWITCH TO SUNFLOWER We'll make it worth your time!

The company with the red and white bull's-eye trademark logo is looking for a "target" audience. The machine, which was installed Aug. 12, sells a full array of products from sunblock to flashing-light yo-yos with the company's bull's-eye covering them. It's one of 10 such devices stationed at universities nationwide to test the college market. "I have to believe that KU was selected because our students are trendy and brand conscious," said David Johnston, marketing coordinator for the KU Memorial Unions. "Putting us in that group is a testament to our student diversity and how representative we are of our current pop culture." Brie Heath, Target spokeswoman, said the schools were picked to test different products in different regions. All universities are also in a five-mile radius of a target store. Heath said the machine was different from traditional vending machines because of a built-in computer. It keeps count of which products sell and also sends inventory updates when the machine is running low on a particular product. Johnston said both the union and Treat America, which takes on all non-Coca-Cola vending needs for the University, were in cooperation with Target. He added that the University gets some monetary benefits, which was different from other lease arrangements such as the setups of Milton's and Westside Deli and Market in the Kansas Union. "This is a new thing, so it's hard to compare to anything," Johnston said. "I have to believe that KU was selected because our students are trendy and brand conscious.

David Johnston Marketing coordinator for KU Memorial Unions Instead of entering a numberletter code like old machines, consumers can scroll through product lists on a touch screen. Products include disposable cameras, batteries, blank CDs, CD holders, Advil, Tylenol and gift cards. Company brand products with the bull's-eye logo are also available, including beverage coolers, playing cards, bandannas, clip-on watches and travel umbrellas. Heath said the machine accepted most debit and credit cards, but purchased items cannot be returned to actual Target stores, such as the location at 3201 Iowa St. Chris Lee, Derby junior, said he thought some of the items being sold were a bit strange, such as a CD holder. such as the Kansas Union lobby or the bookstore. Taylor said she bumped into the machine walking to a nearby elevator and wouldn't have noticed it otherwise. Krsya Taylor, Iola sophomore, said the vending machine should have been put in better location Other participating colleges are the University of Missouri, University of Illinois, University of Minnesota, Arizona State University, Central Connecticut State University, Rice University, University of Notre Dame, George Washington University and Harvey Mudd College. Heath said her company had no specific timeline for the future, but the idea was to expand onto other college campuses. "We're just seeing what students are looking for," Heath said. "We want to get school started, see how these work, see what people buy and go from there. We're in a learning phase." —Edited by Cate Batchelder WAGE: Local group triumphs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A more. Highberger said the alliance looked at other cities that have had success with living wage ordinances. "Businesses that originally opposed a living wage ordinance changed their opinion after they found that the ordinance decreased turnover and increased productivity." Highberger said. Aaron Paden, organizer of University of Kansas students who support the living wage ordinance, said the goal was not to drive businesses away from the city. "We want businesses to feel that Lawrence is friendly and make sure that everyone is getting a good deal." Paden said. Stephanie Harsin, head of the Living Wage Alliance steering committee, said the alliance had come a long way.

Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com This team makes no excuses Coach Mark Mangino could have blamed Saturday's 28-20 loss to Northwestern on anything from the persistent rain to the average officiating that cost his team a touchdown early in the third quarter. Instead, Mangino and his players refused to make excuses. It may not show yet in the win column, but Saturday's display was the first sign that Mangino is truly turning around this once-dismal program. The Jayhawks headed into the locker room at halftime facing a 14-point deficit. It was a situation when some of Terry Allen's old teams likely would have been demoralized and packed it in. numerated and the halftime stat sheet did not, by any means, look impressive for the Jayhawks. Bill Whittemore had completed only six of 15 pass attempts, and four Kansas turnovers had given the Wildcats plenty of golden scoring opportunities. Instead of playing the role of doormat for running back Jason Wright and Northwestern's offense in the third quarter, Mangino's Jayhawks showed heart and determination by not letting the Wildcats pull away. All winning teams with aspirations of going to a bowl game have these qualities. these quantities. The Jayhawks' opening drive of the second half was squandered by a bad call in the end zone, and Johnny Beck's field goal missed off the left upright. Yet team members continued to scratch and claw any way they could instead of throwing in the towel. But, not even a defensive score and another touchdown from the special teams could salvage a win. In the press area following the game, players could have vented their frustrations. The ball slipped out of sophomore running back Clark Green's hands as John Randle, freshman running back, blocked a Northwestern player in the third quarter of Saturday's game at Memorial Stadium. Northwestern defeated Kansas 28-20. There was a late extra point flasco, the touchdown catch that was called out of bounds, and the slippery turf. Each and every player who emerged to talk to the media masked any frustration and talked about next week being a new game to focus on. The confident swagger Mangino has talked about all year may never have been more evident. 20 never has been grown up. Mangino's process of building a successful program is almost complete, but no one realizes it. is almost complete, but he doesn't. He cut the fat from last year's roster. He dumped guys he did not see fit for his program, and brought in his kind of players. He added competitive, talented players who not only want to win, but know how to win, and have done it in the past. Most Jayhawk fans probably think losing what looked like an easy first game means the significance of the 2003 season just went out the window. With this year's team, however, the motivation is there to help forget Saturday's loss. Rather than dwell on negatives and blame others, this team will focus on the positives and work towards a win next weekend. The school's first bowl game since 1995 is not out of reach, but the road looks bumpier from here on out. 'Hawks fumble opener Even if the Jayhawks fail to reach the postseason, they will end the year having earned the respect of their opponents and fans. There's no telling how the season will end, but when a team is made of guys who are willing to fight for 60 minutes and always believe that a victory is within reach, anything can happen. Stay tuned. Greene is a Vernon Hills, Ill., senior in journalism. Botched exchange costs Kansas chance to tie Northwestern By Ryan Greene rgreeen@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Even with the lopsided losses of a year ago, no game for the Kansas football team under coach Mark Mangino may have been tougher to swallow than Saturday's 28-20 defeat at the hands of Northwestern. Northwestern. After using scores by the offense, defense and special teams to stay on the Wildcats' tails all night, holder Curtis Ansel's costly fumbled snap on a late extra point attempt with the score 21-20 proved to be fatal. Even with rain pouring on the field, Ansel accepted full blame for the mishap. "It's just my fault. I had it, and the ball slipped out from underneath when I went to put it down." Ansel said. "The snap was fine, just my fault." snap was fine, just my fault. Northwestern did not miss its opportunities early, scoring two first-half touchdowns following Kansas turnovers. Wildcat tailback Jason Wright scored on runs of four and 18 yards in the first half. Wright ended the night with 196 yards on 41 carries and all four Wildcat scores. Wildcat scores. The Jayhawks squandered a scoring opportunity on the second half's opening drive when kicker Johnny Beck hit the left upright on a 20-yard field goal attempt. With the score 14-0, the Jayhawks finally scored with 2:56 left in the third quarter when quarterback Bill Whitte-more hit receiver Mark Simmons for a 74-yard touchdown strike. On the ensuing Northwestern possession, a deflected pass wound up in the hands of Kansas defensive end David McMillan, who rumbled 31 yards for a score, evening the game at 14-14. With five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Kansas cornerback Ronnie Amadi answered Wright's third score by blocking a punt. Linebacker Darren Rus picked up the ball and returned it 20 yards, making the score 21-20. But the failed extra point attempt left the Jayhawks in a hole they were unable to crawl out of. Wright's final touchdown late in the fourth quarter sealed the game. Whittemore struggled in his first game since going down with a knee injury last October against Missouri. He completed 12 of 28 pass attempts for 240 yards, one touchdown and one interception. ception. "It's definitely a tough pill to swallow," Whittemore said. "There're no KU 4 KU Coach Mark Mangino consulted with quarterback Bill Whittemore during a timeout in the final seconds of the game. moral victories by any sense. We wanted to win that game, but we'll put it behind us. It brings a team down worse if you relive it." Even with the slick turf and the rain that failed to subside, coach Mark Mangino would not allow nature to be an excuse for the tough loss. an excuse for the tough one "I don't care if it 150 outside or it's the middle of a typhoon," Mangino said. "I'm going to look at the positives." Among the Jayhawks' positives were four solid punts by Ansel, averaging 48.3 yards apiece. Two were inside Northwestern's 20-yard line. western's 20-yard line. Offensively, sophomore running back Clark Green started his season with 79 yards on 17 carries, while junior Charles Gordon led the team with 90 yards receiving. yards receiving. On the defensive side of the ball, junior safety Tony Stubbs led the team in tackles with 15. Sophomore newcomer Gabe Toomey made an immediate impact at middle linebacker. During training camp, Mangino repeatedly stated that Toomey was one player on his team he had no concerns about. This about. Tooney's exuberant style on the field netted 12 tackles, including three for losses. Whether it was upending Northwestern tight end Ray Bogenrief or trying to pump the crowd up, Tooney left his impression. "I told you all along he can play," Mangino said. "I don't know his statistics for tackles, but if he didn't make the tackle, he spilled the ball into another gap and made somebody else make the tackle. Gabe Toomey is a heck of a football player." As the Jayhawks still have three non-conference opponents left before the Sept. 27 Big 12 opener against Missouri, Mangino insists that his kids' spirits are still high, and they will be ready for UNLV next Saturday. be ready for UNEVEN betrayal. "They just spent the last month in 110-degree heat, full pads, listening to me," Mangino said. "Sure, they feel bad they lost. There's nobody feeling bad for themselves and there's nobody's heads hanging. That's not going to happen as long as I'm the coach here. Those 105 kids there, they've got too much invested to do that." -Edited by Joey Berlin By the numbers ku N first downs 14 25 carries - yards 27-100 52-235 yards passed 255 219 fumbles - lost 4-3 2-1 possession time 20:03 39:57 Royals Royals Texas 7 Kansas city 3 WILDS THINS major league baseball Texas 7 Anaheim 8 Chicago 7 Houston 10 Cleveland 7 Boston 13 Kansas city 3 Minnesota 2 St. Louis 0 Los Angeles 1 Detroit 4 Philadelphia 9 Anaheim 8 Minnesota 2 CUBE CUBS Cavaliers Goldman Chicago 7 St. Louis 0 Astros Houston 10 ASSOCIATES Dodgers Dodgers D Cleveland 7 Detroit 4 BOSTON AND BUY Boston 13 Philadelphia 9 Phillies "I wish I could write each and every one of them a thank-you letter."

"I felt it's still a building year for KU and the fighting Manginos," Moore said. In my defense, I guess I tried to get cute this week and set myself apart from the competition by predicting a couple of upsets. I hit the nail on the head with Nebraska over the ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys, but Washington and Auburn both broke my heart. Washington quarterback Cody Pickett, who has become my favorite player in the college game, could not translate his success from my PlayStation 2 to the I was also as guilty as anyone for buying into the hype and picking Auburn to beat USC.

Capriati wins match — Edited by Nikki Overfelt The Associated Press NEW YORK - Cutting short the chance to rest during a changeover, Jennifer Capriati hopped off her chair and headed to the baseline. Enough waiting around already, Capriati was thinking, let's get this over with. In a rain-interrupted match that ended about 6 1/2 hours after it began, the No. 6-seeded Capriati reached the U.S. Open quarterfinals for the third straight year by defeating No. 11 Elena Dementieva 6-2, 7-5 Monday. "It was just getting pretty annoying. I was getting tired," Capriati said. "It's hard to play matches like that once you're out there because your rhythm is off." More than 60 matches — including all four in men's singles, plus some from doubles, junior and senior tournaments — were postponed without a shot being hit. The last time an entire day at the Open was rained out was Sept. 4, 1988. Capriati finished with a 28-14 edge in winners, and Dementieva hurt herself with seven double-faults, with some serves landing a few feet out. "I was just more aggressive overall with my shots, my tennis, too," Capriati said. "I was just really going for it. That's what I wanted to do. If it didn't work, it didn't work." Rain, Rangers finally wash Royals out The Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers thought it was about time they beat the Kansas City Royals. They had lost their last six meetings with Kansas City this season by a combined score of 53-14, and dropped the last nine matchups overall. But Mark Teixeira homered twice and Colby Lewis pitched seven solid innings as the Rangers finally beat the Royals 7-3 yesterday. you want to do it. "It was long overdue," said Teixeira, who went 3-for-4 with three RBI. "It was very important to us. Nobody wants to get swept or lose nine in a row to the same team." Teixeira and Hank Blalock homered on consecutive pitches in the second inning against Darrell May (8-7), and Teixeira added another solo shot in the fourth. Teixeira nearly had another homer in the sixth, but his drive hit high off the wall in left-center for an RBI double that stretched the Rangers' lead to 4-2. He leads major league rookies with 22 homers. Ken Harvey homered twice for the Royals, who fell two games behind the first-place Chicago White Sox in the AL Central. Less than a week ago, Teixeira's batting average dipped to .244. But in the last five games, he's 12-for-21 to raise his average to .260. "You always have more energy when you go 3-for-4 and win like we did today," Teixeira said. "I've felt physically OK. Mentally is where you get worn down. A few games like this can really raise your confidence." Lewis (7-9) retired his first 10 batters before Joe Randa's single in the fourth. He allowed three runs and four hits, struck out three and didn't issue a walk. Lewis rebounded from a rough start at Kansas City last week, when he gave up seven runs in just 1 1-3 innings. "I needed this for myself," Lewis said. "I needed to throw well after a short outing and make the point that I'm a winner and can bounce back." Lewis registered 14 of 21 outs on groundballs and consistently got ahead of hitters. May, who threw a five-hit shutout against Texas last Wednesday, allowed four runs and four hits over six innings. He struck out six and walked two. The game began in a steady rain that became lighter in the early innings before stopping in the seventh. A downpour that dumped more than 7 inches on the Kansas City area Sunday washed out the second game of a doubleheader against Anaheim. "We aren't pressing, we seem more tired," Royals manager Tony Paña said. "The ballclub seems a little flat right now. I'd have to say the rain is one of the reasons. We've spent a lot of time at the ballpark. We just have to stay focused." Kansas City came back in the fifth when Raul Ibanez singled and Harvey followed with a two-run homer to narrow the deficit to 3-2. Teixeira homered with nobody on in the second, and Blalock followed with his 25th. Teixeira's solo blast in the fourth made it 3-0. about time. It's a relief to finally get to double-digits." teixeira's RBI double in the sixth made it 4-2, and the Rangers padded their lead with a three-run seventh. Michael Young had a sacrifice fly. Alex Rodriguez added an RBI single, and Shane Spencer drove in the third run with a bases-loaded walk off Nate Field. "The first thing I said when I crossed the plate was, 'Finally,'" said Harvey, whose last homer was on July 5. "It's Harvey was the last batter Lewis faced, leading off the eighth with his 11th homer to narrow the deficit to 7-3. Notes: Teixeira is the sixth switch-hitting rookie in major league history with at least 20 homers. Carlos Beltran was the last with 22 for Kansas City in 1999. Eddie Murray is the leader in that category, with 27 for Baltimore in 1977. ... Teixeira had his second multihomer game. ... The Rangers had back-to-back homers for the 11th time this season. ... Randa went 1-for-4 and extended his hitting streak to 14 games. ... Texas' Todd Greene walked for only the second time this season, and first since April 13.

Hey Coach Mangino, wouldn't it be a good idea to win a few games before you start planning your multi-million dollar expansion at the stadium. If you don't have a couple of winning seasons, you may not need that office. beginning of the year meeting Tuesday, Sept. 2 & Wednesday, Sept. 3 6:00 pm Pine Room, Kansas Union I would just like to say how proud I am of the Kansas football team and how they fought and never gave up. They should know that there are fans and students that never gave up on them either. Go KU football. beginning of the year meeting Tuesday, Sept. 2 & Wednesday, Sept. 3 6:00 pm Pine Room, Kansas Union I know why KU did so much better in the second half than they did in the first half.

As Oklahoma and Texas both cruised to victory, it was a victory by Nebraska over Oklahoma State in Lincoln, Neb., that had the biggest conference implications The Nebraska defense slowed one of the Big 12's best offenses and held AllAmerica n N kashaun Woods to just 47 yards on five catches. This is the first time the Blackshirts, as the defense is nicknamed, have looked true to form since a 62-35 loss at Colorado in 2001. In all, Oklahoma State had less than 200 yards in total offense and committed five turnovers. Fabian Washington, Nebraska cornerback, said the defense knew it would be better than people thought. "We showed the nation the Blackshirts are back," Washington said. "We knew it in winter conditioning, in the spring and during fall practice. We just had to show the nation today." Nebraska also churned up more than 250 yards on the ground, led by tailback Josh Brown with 95 yards and quarterback Jammal Lord with 90. Oklahoma and Texas each beat lesser schools. Oklahoma had a 37-3 pasting of North Texas, and Texas blew out New Mexico State 66-7. Oklahoma's defense held North Texas to 50 yards through three quarters and the only North Texas scoring drive was against Oklahoma's second stringers in the fourth quarter. While Oklahoma's defense stepped up, the Sooners struggled to find a running game, rushing for only 108 yards. Bob Stoops, Oklahoma coach, said the rushing offense was unacceptable. "That was poor — not at all what we're capable of." Stoops said. "They whipped us up front sometimes running the ball. They had too much penetration and we didn't get as many yards as we're used to getting." Oklahoma is trying to find a replacement for graduated running back Q Quentin Griffin, who rushed for more than 1,800 yards last year. Texas won with touchdowns from sixplayers,including two on interception returns and two on special teams as Selvin Young returned both a kickoff and a punt fora touchdown. Ell Roberson ran for three touchdowns and passed for another as Kansas State beat up on Troy State 41-5. This wasn't enough to impress the coaches, as the Wildcats were bumped from the top five for a USC team that won against Auburn, 23-0. CUJ Colorado's qu Klatt led the Buffaloes down the field to set up Bobby Purify's game- winning touchdown with 40 seconds remaining. Normally known as a running team, Klatt passed for 402 yards and four touchdowns in his debut, a 42-35 win over rival Colorado State. Overshadowed was the play of CSU quarterback Bradlee Van Pelt, who broke two tackles to score on a 30 yard option keeper to tie the game at 35 with 1:44 left. Van Pelt passed for 339 yards and three touchdowns, and ran for 77 yards and two more scores. This marks Colorado's second victory over Colorado State in the last five tries. Texas A&M added a sloppy win over Arkansas State 26-11, and Missouri won against Illinois, 22-15, even though the Fighting Illinois outdid the Tigers by almost 200 yards. Brad Smith had 101 yards passing and 67 yards rushing. It was Smith's six-yard touchdown pass to Darius Outlaw that put Missouri up with 4-12 left on the clock. Alabama Birmingham quarterback Darrell Hackney limped from the sidelines to lead the Blazers to a 24-19 victory over Baylor. Hackney hurt his knee in a collision and disregarded doctor's wishes as he walked into a pressure situation with 1:10 remaining. Two plays later, after a 50-yard, game-winning touchdown strike, he was back on the sidelines. B. J. Symons snoit to run Mike Leach's fun-gunning offense Saturday with 297 yards passing and three touchdowns in Texas Tech's 58-10 rout of Southern Methodist University. Wes Welker tied an NCAA record by returning his seventh career punt for a touchdown. Taurane Henderson added three touchdowns, two on the ground and one on a Symons pass. B. J. Sumons showed his poten- F Iowa State struggled but won against Division 1-AA Northern Iowa 17-10. Austin Flynn, taking over for departed quarterback Seneca Wallace, completed half of his 18 passes for 154 yards, a touchdown and an interception. He added 62 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Flynn's three-yard touchdown run ended the game's scoring with 2:20 left in the third quarter. k a n s a n . c o m Some Big 12 games to watch for next week are: UCLA at Colorado (2:30 p.m.-ABC, Sunflower Broadband channels 9 & 12), UNLV at Kansas (6 p.m.), or Oklahoma at Alabama (6:45 p.m.-ESPN, Sunflower Broadband channel 48).

Smith earned a hat trick in six shots as the Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats 4-1. Raindoesn't stop women's soccer By Nikki Nugent nnguent@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter The University of Kansas women's soccer team started its season with two wins this weekend. The Jayhawks defeated the Northwestern Wildcats 4-1 on Friday, and Evansville 2-0 on Sunday. Forward Caroline Smith, Edina, Minn., sophomore, recorded a hat trick in Friday's game, continuing last season's success and silencing any questions about her recovery from last season's knee injury. Smith's first goal came in the 15th minute, with two more coming on penalty kicks. Smith also recorded one assist in the first half. Kansas coach Mark Francis said Smith was productive and worked hard. "We have an award that we give out every game called the 'Heart and Soul Award' and we gave it to Caroline, not because she scored the goals but we felt like she really busted it the whole game," he said. Smith said one of her goals was to be dangerous. She said two goals off of penalty kicks in one game was unusual. "That's what happens when you get behind people," she said. "Either they let you get a chance or they foul you." Sunday's game with Evansville was moved to Memorial Stadium because of unsafe playing conditions at SuperTarget Field. The Jayhawks defeated the Purple Aces 2-0 in chilly and rainy game. The Jayhawk defense limited the Wildcats to just four shots on goal. Goalkeeper Meghan Miller, Seattle junior, recorded three saves and allowed just one goal in 83 minutes. Kansas dominated the game and spent most of the game on Evansville's side of the field. The Jayhawks outshot the Purple Aces 27-1. Playing on a football field proved to be a challenge for both teams. Soccer fields are 27 yards wider than football fields, so the teams had to play more compact soccer. The turf also plays faster than grass, especially when wet. Francis said he thought his team adapted well to the field conditions. Francis said he was pleased with the weekend games. He said he saw improvement from Friday to Sunday. "We talked about having to play the ball to feet because the surface was slippery and having to play quickly because there's not much time because the space is pretty compact," he said. "If we can just keep improving as the season goes on I think we're going to be happy," he said. —Edited by Scott Christie By Mike Norris mnorris@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter Jayhawks win two lose one in Illinois The University of Kansas volleyball team won two of three matches this weekend in the Best Western Inns and Suites Invitaliated in Dekalb, Ill. The team knocked off Western Kentucky and Liberty University 3-0 each before falling to Northern Illinois 3-1. Head coach Ray Bechard said a slow start against Northern Illinois hurt the team, but they played well overall. "We had a good weekend and were able to learn from many different things," he said. In the shutout against Western Kentucky, senior outside hitter Sarah Rome had 14 kills and 14 digs. Junior middle blocker Ashley Michaels added 12 kills and a 455 attack percentage. "The fact that we have a lot of injuries on the team right now pulled us all together," she said. "I think we were just ready to play." One of the injured starters was Andi Rozum, sophomore setter. But in her first career start, junior Ashley Bechard filled in nicely with 36 assists. "I felt that I was pretty prepared with practice and everything leading up to it," she said. Coach Bechard said it was a good win over Western Kentucky, a team that went to the NCAA Tournament last year. "We had a very good offensive balance with four players recording nine or more kills," he said. "The nine service aces also really helped." In the second game against Liberty, Rome and Michaels helped the team again with 11 and nine kills respectively. Jana Correa, freshman outside hitter, recorded 13 kills and a .579 hitting percentage. Cornea added 16 more kills in the loss to Northern Illinois, Jill Dorsey, junior libero, missed the first match with an injury but bounced back with 17 digs in the loss. It was the first nonconference loss in two years for the Jayhawks, but the tough nonconference schedule could help when the NCAA selection committee decides which teams to invite to the tournament. Western Kentucky made an NCAA Tournament appearance last year, and the Jayhawks will play No. 6 University of Minnesota next weekend. After the tournament, the Jayhawks learned Correa and Michaels were named to the alltournament team. "When we have really outstanding players, then that makes the rest of us better," Ashley Bechard said. "I'm glad they got that opportunity, they both played really well." The Jayhawks will travel to Minneapolis on Friday to play in the Minnesota Tournament. "Everybody has worked very hard this week to go up there and do our best," said Correa. The team will face Minnesota Friday, then Marquette and the University of Dayton Saturday.

Owners paid a fee of $2 to gain access to the pool. Wyrick said the money would go to help fund new programs, swimming lessons and lifeguards. He said pool facilities were well-suited for dogs. Deep areas were good for large dogs, while the zero-depth areas provided a safe place for smaller dogs to play.

Edited by Jonathan Reeder Spyware slows surfers; help exists By Steve Schmidt sschmidt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Someone may be watching you while you surf the Web. Thanks to spyware programs, computer users can be bombarded with unwanted pop-up ads that may be directly geared to that person's favorite Web sites. Spyware is technology that allows companies to control the number and type of pop-up ads computer users get without their knowledge. Joel Hartenbower, president of AM/PM PC Services, a local computer repair company said there are three levels of spyware. The first only monitors where people go on the Web. The second sends pop-up ads geared to a user's most frequently traveled sites. The third, and most bothersome, floods users with pop-ups geared toward them. "Basically you're talking about a company tracking what you're doing on the web, which is a privacy issue." Harten- bower said. "They basically try to take over your browser habits and force ads on you." He said spyware can also impair someone's Web surfing capability by hijacking a user's Domain Name System (DNS) address. The DNS is a computer user's address on the Internet. Internet use could be restricted if a user's main server is already occupied with DNS hijacking. Adam Harris, Wamego freshman, said he got tired of companies bugging him when he went online. "I don't want to be subject to being sold something that I don'twant," Harris said. "It's not related to what I'm searching for." Hartenbower said there are programs available to thwart spyware. He recommended Ad-aware by Lavasoft more than other competitors because it's free and user-friendly. Computer users may download Ad-aware at Lavasoft's Web site, www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware.

Fan experiences heart attack at Kansas home football game Local The man was transferred to Lawrence Memorial Hospital after lying unconscious in the metal bleachers of Memorial Stadium during the game. "He went into cardiac arrest prior to being transported," said Mark Bradford, Deputy Chief of Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical. According to a police report filed by University of Kansas police officer Brad Clover, University police officers responded to a call from witnesses sitting near the man who noticed he was unconscious. The report indicated that three University police officers arrived on the scene during the game at 8:15 p.m. and were forced to transport the man from the bleachers to another location because of the wet conditions and awkward location ward location. Officer Clover and two other police officers then carried the man down to a dry area underneath the stadium, where they were met by Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical workers. The fire and medical workers began administering treatment to the man and noted he was not breathing and in a state of cardiac arrest. Later in the evening, Officer Clover was advised that the man was resting in the intensive care unit and had not regained consciousness. The man was then transported in an ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Although officials at Lawrence Memorial Hospital were unable to comment on the man's condition, they were able to confirm he was still a patient yesterday. — Joe Hartigan Corrections Yesterday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article, "Vending machine targets University," stated that the Target vending machine sells blue books and Pepsi. This is not correct. It only sells Target products not previously sold through Coca-Coca, the University or Treat America. KII info - Yesterday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article "Students must use new ID numbers" stated that KUID cards would not be affected by a change in using a seven-digit KUID number because the cards' magnetic strip contained both the seven-digit and six-digit numbers.

Bill number 2004-012 will be the last of the meeting, which begins at 6:30 tonight at the Big 12 room in the Kansas Union. The blood drive bill was debated for more than two hours in last week's student rights committee meeting, and should be the focus of tonight's senate meeting. The debate centered on a Food and Drug Administration policy prohibiting males who have had homosexual sex since 1977 from giving blood. Members of Queers and Allies argued this point, saying it was a program that discriminated and should not get senate funding. Arthur Jones, freshman/sophomore class senator, was in the student rights committee debate involving the blood drive last week and was confident the bill would pass full senate. STUDENT THE UNIVERSITY OF BARRAS SENATE "I think many issues have been voiced strong enough that it will be a positive outcome," Jones said. Jeff Allmon, holdover senator, co-wrote the friendly-amendment that saved the bill from being voted down last week. The amendment added an extra $500 onto the bill for awareness about the FDA policy. He said he didn't know if the bill would have passed on its own, but was glad he could help with the amendment. "It seemed like it was going to be a great compromise," Allmon said. a great compliment. Along with the blood drive bill, senators will vote on issues such as whether to pay a webmaster $1,000 to update the senate Web site, and whether the KU Ball- room Dance Club will get the $2,068 it requested. Various clubs and associations that stand to receive the $431 amount standard to University groups are also on the senate agenda. Some of those up for funding tonight are the KU American Civil Liberties Union, the Korean Student Association, and the American Business Women's Association. One group looking to receive a larger amount from the senate is the Organization of Adult Speakers, which works for raising awareness for non-traditional students. It requested $1,400. "I think many issues have been voiced strong enough that it will be a positive outcome." Arthur Jones freshman/sophomore class senator students. A request James Owen, School of Law senator, won't be asking for money, but only for Senate support for an on-campus recycling center resolution. If approved, the resolution would be sent on to University and city officials. Edited by Scott Christie More rain can worsen problems with mold By Abby Mills almills@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Danielle Sullivan knows how mold can irritate allergies. She spent two years living in an older house with mold behind the walls. "For the entire two years I slept with a roll of toilet paper all night," the Abilene senior said. This weekend's rain could increase the risk of an allergic reaction for those who suffer from Sullivan's former affliction. "There are two things mold needs to grow — moisture and a nutritional source," said Matt Sugar, project manager of local testing and information at Ramsey Environmental Group. Ramsey Environmental Group, of Belton, Mo., specializes in analyzing solutions to indoor environmental pollutants. Sugar said mold typically grow without it. "Sheetrock is a very good nutrient," he said. "Even high humidity levels will cause growth." Richard Ziesenis, director of environmental health at the Douglas County Health Department, said although mold did not cause structural damage, he had heard of a house in Texas that had become so infested it had to be destroyed. needed a direct water source, but with the right combination of humidity and nutrition, it could grow without it. An infestation of that magnitude is easiest to stop in the early stages of growth, Ziesenis said. "Once it gets past the Sheetrock into in the inner part of the wall, it is very difficult to remove," he said. Ziesenis said the biggest mold problems were allergic or asthmatic reactions. For most people, mold does not represent a problem, said Patricia Denning, staff physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "Molds are everywhere, all the time," she said. "It's just if you can live in harmony with them." Those not in harmony, she said will experience allergy symptoms such as red, itchy eyes and a sore throat. Denning said mold could also cause more serious issues. Some mold spores can be inhaled and grow inside a person's lungs. Denning said histoplasmosis is one such disease found in Kansas, which could cause fever, chest pains and pneumonia. Denning said most people who experience serious symptoms from the disease usually had other respiratory complications or suffered from diseases that weaken the immune system, such as AIDS or cancer. Diseases caused by mold inhalation can be cured with antifungal medications. To get rid of existing mold infestations, Ziesenis recommended washing walls with a chlorine solution. He also said some brands of paint came with an antimicrobial agent to prevent and treat mold conditions. Sugar said antimicrobial agents may not be enough because some types of mold are resistant to those measures. Ziesenis said mold removal could be very expensive. He said although those costs are warranted to prevent health problems, mold was easier to prevent than to treat. "Keep humidity levels low by getting a dehumidifier," he said. "That's the best way to kill mold before it grows too serious." Sullivan — after two years of moldy nights — said she was making sure her roommates kept the dehumidifier running in her room at Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall to prevent any mold growth. - Edited by Ehren Meditz Red Lyon Tavern A touch of Irish in downtown Lawrence 944 Mass. 832-8228 爱 Red Lyon Tavern THAI HOUSE $1 OFF DINNER MENU WITH YOUR KUID!

Rachel Robson opinion@kansan.com Science is about sharing. That's been the feeling of scientists since Aristotle. All research builds on earlier discoveries, so sharing of information among researchers, past and present, is essential for intellectual progress. That's why scientists publish their results in journals, where their peers can read them. But as increasingly fewer for-profit publishers control increasingly more of the journal market, prices have skyrocketed, forcing universities such as the University of Kansas to cancel subscriptions. Scholars, unable to access information locked in price journals, were incensed. So in 2000, a group of scientists mad about overpriced journals did what anyone with a gripe does in today's Internet age: they started an online petition. Three years and more than 30,000 signatures later, their petition has mutated into one of the most promising developments in science publishing. Next month, the first issue of a new journal, Public Library of Science-Biology, will be launched, which will be available free online to everyone in the world. This publication, soon to be followed by Public Library of Science-Medicine in 2004, is the direct result of online activism. will certainly push knowledge forward, seeding currently inconceivable discoveries. A genius in a threadbare lab in Nepal or Albania may have a world-changing epiphany, because they now share in the discoveries of their more fortunate colleagues. It's also a scientist's dream come true. Giving access to cutting-edge research to anyone with a computer "Technology has made it possible to imagine a world where the free full text of every scientific paper is available to everyone in the universe," said Michael Eisen, cofounder of the Public Library of Science and a researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Before joining the Public Library of Science effort, Eisen pioneered the use of "gene chips," a stunning technology that allows dramatic, nearly instantaneous insights into genetic causes of disease, but which relies on access to a wealth of previously published data. Open-access science publishing, through venues such as the Public Library of Science, will allow gene chips and countless other technologies to finally live up to their potential. Eisen isn't the only renowned scientist developing the Public Library of Science. Harold Varmus, Nobel laureate and former director of the National Institute of Health, is also a cofounder. Vivian Siegel, the inaugural editor of the Public Library of Science, previously edited Cell, one of the most prestigious journals in the world — which also happens to be owned by the for-profit publishing giant Elsevier. proclaim Siegel said she defected from the world of for-profit science publishing because she's "an idealist." "All the editors at Cell wanted to make our articles open-access, but Elsevier didn't want to do it," she said. "When I pointed out that our position made me feel like I wasn't working for the benefit of the scientific community, my boss said, 'What? You think you're a scientist?' I realized I couldn't act on my principles and continue at Cell." The first principle of science is sharing. "That's what knowledge is all about. If you can't share knowledge, then what good is it?" said John A. Landgreme, emeritus professor of chemistry and petition signer for the Public Library of Science. It's appropriate that the Internet, which was developed by researchers to share scholarly information in its very earliest days, should enable the Public Library of Science to exist. Thanks to technology and idealism, knowledge can finally be shared as it was meant to be. It's about time. Robson is a Baldwin City doctoral candidate in pathology. Revolutionary time calls for everyone to speak out I think the most common misperception among those who would dissent is that we do not live in revolutionary times. This silent majority believes the revolution was fought in the times of their mothers and fathers, when the war in Vietnam sent children off to fight and die overseas while their brothers and sisters took to the streets in protest. When President George W. Bush's public trust fund skyrocketed after the Sept. 11 attacks, American dissent became almost taboo. The irony here is that rarely has there been a more vital moment to speak out. Government misdeeds may not be trumpeted by our "free," corporately bought-and-paid-for news media, but they are self-evident. And still, no one's talking. Mary Jane Stephen Shupe opinion@kansan.com In spite of this misperception, the revolution is alive and well. But it's not being fought by college kids with liberal sex politics, but by a white establishment hell-bent on eradicating the social changes made by our parents. COMMENTARY changes. For a glimpse at the revolution, let's return to the 2000 presidential election. On the last weekend of November, as the Miami-Dade canvassing board carried out a ruling by the Florida Supreme Court to allow manual recounts. dozens of Republican congressional staffers flew down to the city. Their tickets were paid for by Bush campaign money, and their bosses included Trent Lott, former Senate major leader. This was before Lott, who is still very much the Republican senator of Mississippi, disgraced the party by getting all misty-eyed over desegregation laws at Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday party. The Republicans gathered outside the downtown Stephen P. Clark Government Center on Sunday, Nov. 26, and proceeded to stage a riot. Screaming that "the system is unfair," the rioters burst into the building and ascended to the 19th floor, while organizers in a Winnebago parked on the street tied up phone banks for hours, urging Miami Republicans to hurry downtown to join in. Security cameras captured some of the mayhem that ensued. The rioters punched and kicked one of the counters when he walked out of the counting room with what turned out to be a sample ballot. Doors were broke through and Democrats were allegedly physically assaulted. By the end, the three-member canvassing board voted to stop the count. Only 11,000 of Dade's 654,000 ballots had been recounted, the majority of which belonged to African-American voters. One might think such a radical move to shift American power back to the right would send endless droves of crusaders out into the streets in the name of social justice. But one would be dreaming, and as the revolution marches on, the spiral of silence has yet to be broken. Zach Stinson for The University Daily Kansan Just this summer, we saw the white establishment begin an honest and sincere effort to completely destroy the progressive social changes of the last four decades. the Bush tax cut will put us at a $44 trillion deficit. If the Republicans decided to cut all social spending from the budget, there would still be a deficit. The outcome means empty hands for protection agencies such as the environmental Superfund and Head Start, the most successful early-child development program ever created, because the powers that be will honestly be able to tell them, "We don't have the money." So the revolution is once again underway, except this time the fight is one-sided. I guess we could sit around and take it, just as the Germans did in the 1930s, or we could do something about it. Economists predict the fallout from As Michael Moore says, get five points down. Prepare a speech.

Shupe is an Augusta graduate student in journalism. He is associate editor of the opinion page. editorial board The University of Kansas and the Lawrence community offer many meal plan options for those still trying to find food and flexibility to fit their daily schedules. But students must be wise in making dining decisions. While some plans offer good food and good deals, other plans are just plain bunk. Meal plans rip you off The Rock Chalk plan, which the University does not endorse, offers no oncampus eating option. It gets students' attention by mentioning that they can use it to eat at popular places such as Chili's, 2191 Iowa St., and Papa John's, 2233 Louisiana St. The Rock Chalk plan boasts that students don't lose money on it because they pay only for the food they eat. While this is true, users also pay only for what they eat when they pay with cash or credit. Finally, the Rock Chalk plan proclaims that with it, students save money. In the way of discounts, Rock Chalk Meal Plan holders are eligible for a free Rewards Membership at Blockbuster and a free cookie and drink with the purchase of a sub sandwich at Jersey Mike's. Are these really savings that students need or will use? The Rock Chalk Meal Plan offers junk food at regular prices. On-campus students should check out Mrs. E's; off-campus students should check out the grocery store. Don't be fooled by these "meal plans." It turns out that banks offer the same service — it's called a debit card. KU Cuisine, a new plan sponsored by KU Memorial Unions and the Department of Student Housing Dining Services, offers meals at the dining halls and on campus at the unions and Wescoe Terrace. While the flexibility in this plan may be attractive, the savings are not. KU Cuisine requires a $200 minimum deposit to begin the plan, and with this intact, students get a 5 percent discount at the unions and at the dining halls. To receive the 15 percent discount that KU Cuisine advertises, students must pay $500 up front. Housing is making a pretty penny off KU Cuisine members. It would make more sense for students who want to alternate between eating at the residence halls and eating on campus to buy a meal plan at the dining halls and put money on their Beak 'Em Bucks account, which students can access with their KUID cards. Beak 'Em Bucks is a much more versatile account, which gives students the same 5 percent discount at the unions, Wescoe Terrace and the dining halls as the KU Cuisine plan. But students can also use the Beak 'Em Bucks account for laundry in the residence halls and copies at the library. And there is no minimum balance with Beak 'Em Bucks. Anna D.

Factor in the high unemployment rate and lousy job market that awaits, and getting out of four years worth of college debt may take even longer than that. "Many students are so far in debt and their income is so low, there's not many options," Michele Kessler, associate director of Legal Services for Students said. Brooke Klonsky. St. Louis senior understands debt trouble. "I already know I owe more than I'll be able to handle when I graduate," Klonsky said of her student loans taken out over the past three years. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, indebted students who graduated in 2000 owed an average of $17.785 just from loans. Tack on the estimated $3,000 that the average college student will owe in credit card debt, and the total comes close to $21,000. Credit card debt among college students has skyrocketed over the past decade because students increasingly have more than one credit card. According to college-creditcounseling.com, more than three-fourths of undergraduates have a credit card and 32 percent of those have four or more. The average is three cards. Just under 15 percent have debt of $3,000 to $7,000, and almost a tenth have debt more than $9,000. "The worst-case scenario is for students who are deeply in debt and are also on student loans." Kessler said. "At that point, filing for bankruptcy may be the best One solution is signing up for monthly payment plans, according to Kessler. They may ease some of the burden associated with paying off debts. solution." “It's basically just saying 'This is how much money I have per month to pay bills with' and then taking it from there." Kessler said. Robert Baker, branch manager of the Lawrence office of Consumer Credit Services, deals with all types of student debt on a daily basis. Of those graduating in the red, many leave with unmanageable debt levels, meaning that their monthly payments are more than 8 percent of their monthly income "Credit cards seem like a great idea to students at first because of the low interest rate when signing up," Baker said. "After a couple of months, however, things change." But, the average student will begin to spend more on their credit card per month than what they are earning, Baker said. Because of this, when interest rates go up, students won't be able to pay their bills on time and late fees will begin to accumulate. Delinquent payments will effect one's "credit score" which determines where, when and how much money students could borrow for any future loans. Baker also noted that more than half of all students with credit cards have late fees and half of all profits that credit card companies make from students come from these late fees. "Many students that have just graduated college have combined payments equal to a car payment, but they don't have the car to show for it." Baker said. "It's really mind-blowing if you think about it." Edited Katie Nelson Miller, Watkins Halls to drop suit By Robert Perkins rperkins@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Next Monday will bring Miller and Watkins Scholarship Halls' three-year-old lawsuit one step closer to closure. The two scholarship halls, which are suing both the Bank of America and the University of Kansas for mismanagement of their trust fund, will drop all of the charges in the case except for the one of the counts of the lawsuit that they have already won. Residents were advised to speak to their attorney before commenting on the specifics of this point. Lindsay Poe, Wichita senior and president of the Student Preservation Committee, said the decision to drop the claims came from signs that the money was being handled better as well as a desire to see the lawsuit wrapped up. "Not only is it a part of us moving on, but a large part of it's that we finally feel like everything's kosher again — or getting there," she said. Poe cited repairs made to Miller's foundation, Watkins' new roof and air conditioning installed in both halls as signs of improvement. "A lot of complaints have been dealt with." she said. Also, she said the majority of the residents who had originally been involved in the lawsuit had since graduated. Of the 26 residents who signed the original petition that started the lawsuit, Poe estimated that five remained in the scholarship halls. Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said she expected all of the charges to be withdrawn Monday. "The petitioners have not presented any information proving that the funds have been spent on anything besides the maintenance and upkeep of Miller and Watkins Halls," she said. Bretz said the University's position in the case had not changed since the beginning "We believe that the court will find that the University of Kansas and the bank have acted in good faith and in Mrs. Watkins' wishes," she said. Poe said that while the petitioners would drop their other charges, they would try to get the judge to amend the one they had already won to say that in the future, the petitioners would have a voice in the way the trust was spent on maintaining the halls. In addition, several "prayers to the relief" — requests made to the judge — have been added. The petitioners will ask that, among other things, the University and the bank cover their legal costs. Poe said that while this has gone on for several years, she intends to see it through to the end, no matter how long it takes. The status hearing will take place at 10 a.m. Monday at the judge's chambers in the Douglas County Courthouse at 11th and Massachusetts streets and is not open to the public. Edited by Cate Batchelder Tuition increase benefits American studies program By Zack Hemenway zhenwenway@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Tuition increases will help the growing American studies department bring two new faculty members to the University of Kansas next fall. Michael Yellow Bird, a social welfare professor at Arizona State University, was chosen to direct the University's Center for Indigenous Nations Studies. He will succeed current director Don Fixico, who will return to teaching next fall. Because the Center was unable to offer Yellow Bird tenure, he will also become a member of the American studies department. The classes he will teach on indigenous peoples will be cross-listed in the student catalog with American studies courses, said Norman Yetman, director of the American studies department. The second hire the department made is a full-time faculty member, Anna Choi, who will teach American studies classes exclusively. Choi is one of the first new faculty members hired with money from last year's tuition increase. The Tuition Enhancement program targeted specific faculty need areas which would be important to the University's future, said provost David Shulenburger. Yetman said looking at problems globally would be a key concept for the future of the American studies program. "Enhanced global perspective will be the most important direction in American Studies in the next 10 years," he said. Choi, who recently received her Ph.D. in history from the University of Southern California, wrote her dissertation on Korean nationalism in the United States. Yetman said globalization was her area of expertise. "She'll teach students about the way the U.S. is perceived globally, the impact of U.S. policy abroad, and the affect of the global economy on the U.S.", he said. "This appointment has to be considered in the context of the tuition project," Yetman said. "Without it, this would not have been possible." Yetman said Choi filled a need as a scholar who could develop more of a global program. The increased funds made the creation of Choi's position possible, he said. Edited by JJ Hensley State State Officials announce new public service ad kansas State TOPEKA — Officials unveiled a new public service announcement yesterday for the Kansas school safety telephone hot line. The hot line, established in 1999, is designed to allow students to pass information along anonymously when they suspect another student is planning an act of violence. The number is 1-877-626-8203. State officials estimate that the hot line has received 2,000 calls since its inception. The public service announcement features a teenager urging students not to keep quiet when they have information. The effort also includes new posters for schools to put up. "We just want to make sure people know about it," Governor Kathleen Sebelius said during a news conference. -The Associated Press Hair Experts Design Team 50% off first hair cut for new client 2100 - B West 25th Street • 841.6886 • 800.246.6886 Bring this ad in before 10/3/03 to receive your discount (Coupon #8) SUNSHINE & KEEBLER CRACKERS 1/2 Price 1/2 OF OUR EVERYDAY LOW PRICE PRICES GOOD SEPT. 3 THRU SEPT. 9, 2003 THURSDAY SPECIAL BANANAS 19¢ LB.

Maska jmaska@kansan.com kansas staff writer A new organization is promoting an old ideal. The KU Israel Alliance, a campus group formed last year, met last night to promote culture, activism, and above all, peace. More than 30 students gathered at Naismith Hall at 8:30 p.m. to hear from Rebecca Gellar, American Israeli Political Action Committee national field organizer. The committee is a Washington, D.C.-based lobby organization that promotes the Israeli state. The alliance hosted Gellar to promote activism in voting and politics. Mike Khadavi, Overland Park junior and alliance treasurer, said he hoped the meeting would acquaint students with the organization and encourage their involvement in political activism. During the next year, one of its big goals is a voter registration drive. "The higher the percentage of the population that votes, the more accurate the representation the public will get," said Khadavi. Khadavi said he wanted to increase voter registration, and more specifically, the group would aim to register those who support an independent Israeli state. Although students typically move yearly and might have to enter an address change next year, he said he hoped this would at least spark interest. That is where Gellar comes in. She supports the political aspirations of the alliance. "Yes, it is the Jewish homeland, but it's more than that," Gellar said. Sam Hopkins, liaison between Gellar's organization and alliance, was a founder of the campus organization. Hopkins, whose interest arose after a trip to Israel, said the organization would raise awareness across campus. With education, he said he hoped everyone will take on the issue. During the last year, Hopkins has worked to create an overall awareness that Israel is bigger than a culture within borders and the crisis that faces the Middle East is one that affects all. "I think it would be oxymoronic to say that Israel can have peace without Palestine," Hopkins said. "Its unfortunate that when some people see prosomething they think anti-something else." Hopkins said the aim of the organization is united. — Edited by Dave Nobles "I think the only true peace that will come will be a cooperative one," Hopkins said. City commission discusses library By Amanda Kim Stairrett astairrett@kansan.com Kansan staff writer For almost 100 years, pedestrians and drivers on the northwest corner of Ninth and Vermont streets have passed by a pivotal landmark. The Carnegie Library building, 901 Vermont St., has long been a beacon for literature and the arts in Lawrence. Last night the city commission decided to refer the matter to a study session to discuss financial and legal issues. Members will also compile a broad outline of goals they hope to achieve with the facility. The session will meet Sept. 24 to decide the building's future. Commissioner Mike Rundle said the building and its prior uses brought a cross section of the community together. "I would like to see the facility go to maximum community use and maximum public use," he said. The city commission also announced that Penny Construction had been selected to stabilize the building. The company will repair the roof, windows and weatherproof the facility. The library housed the Lawrence Arts Center since 1975. In early 2002, a new arts center was constructed at 940 New Hampshire St., and the library was vacated. Anne Evans, Lawrence Arts Center Executive Director, said the center had outgrown the library and she was sad to leave it. In October 2002, the city conducted an evaluation of the facility. Officials determined it had no serious structural issues. On Jan 22. the city announced it was seeking proposals for use of the Carnegie Library. Public and private groups were allowed to submit proposals until March 17. Nine organizations proposed uses for the building. Those included Agape Corporation, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County, Langston Hughes Center for Community Enrichment, Lawrence Carnegie Arts Commons, Lawrence Children's Library and Museum, Lawrence Coalition on Homeless Concerns, Lawrence Electronic Access Provider, Lawrence Junior Wrestling Club and Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department. At last night's meeting, City Commissioner David Schauer said the landmark was an anchor in the community and deserved a "Solomon-like decision." The Carnegie Library was the site of the City of Lawrence's library from 1904 to 1972. Andrew Carnegie, a wealthy businessman, provided grants to libraries for the purpose of providing free access to books. In May 1902, Carnegie donated $27,500 for the city to establish the library. It was completed in December 1904 for a total of $27,412. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on Feb. 18, 1975. Evans hoped the building would continue to be important to the city. "I would like to see it go to some other new community use that will continue the mission and view of Andrew Carnegie," she said.

Zink then attended Junior Days and got pamphlets from his high school counselor's office. However, the University made no further recruiting efforts. Zink said. Despite this, Zink and eight of his 78 classmates decided to attend the University. In fact, only 596 students enrolled in the University in Fall 2002 came from west of Highway 183. That is 2.25 percent of 26,458, the amount of enrolled students according to the Fall 2002 Kansas Higher Education Enrollment Report by Richard C. Morrell, University Registrar. The number of students from counties between Highway 183 and Highway 81/Interstate 35 totaled 3,196 in Fall 2002. That's 19 percent of the student enrollment. Bernard and Barbara Nordling are from southwest Kansas and now reside in Lawrence. They offer law and fine arts scholarships to students from western Kansas. Barbara Nordling said that the area is typically Kansas State University territory and that their scholarships were designed to break out of that mold. Pinamonti said timing was the key to the Rock Chalk Road Show. "We are starting early in the recruiting year so students can begin applying," she said. "We want to share the KU message." Bernard Nordling said he supported the idea of the road show. "It is encouraging that they are recognizing people from out there," he said. Lindsev Gold/KANSAN BERLIN MICHEL POINT CHAMPS Edited by Dave Nobles Adrian Zink, Lared senior, said the University did not recruit him from his town of about 4,000. Zink, a history and political science major, decided to attend the University of Kansas based on his friends' recommendations. His month-long study-abroad trip during the summer took him to Belgium, France, Austria and Hungary. "I decided to study abroad because I wanted to travel with some intellectuals and get inside the politics and history of other countries," Zink said. SPYWARE: Software available to protect privacy, slow down pop-up ads CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A scan for all types of spyware and will then delete them once prompted. In addition, the information technology professionals at the University of Kansas have put together a web site, www.ku.edu/~desksupp/spyware/spyware.shtml, containing a definition of spyware, types of spyware and a link to download Ad-aware. As far as prevention goes, the easiest way for users to find if they are spyware-plagued is to run Ad- aware, Hartenbower said. Another tell-tale sign is seeing pop-ups right when you get on the Internet. Most people, he said, are probably not aware of the spyware programs they agree to when downloading the regular version of KaZaa, the popular people-topeople file sharing service. A newer version of the program KaZaa Light, comes free of spyware and allows users to close their files to other spyware programs. Chris Culver, Pratt sophomore, said he started using KaZaa Light in December. "It works wonderful, I can just tell the difference," he said. Culver said he only gets a few pop-ups when he goes online, compared to his roommate who gets 20 to 30 pop-ups per downloading session when running regular KaZaa. Hartenbower said as a test he ran regular KaZaa for six hours and then scanned for spyware. Four-hundred fifty spyware entries came up during the scan, he said. For all regular KaZaaa users Hartenbower said Ad-aware will find KaZaas as a spyware program and disable it, unless users check a box saying they would like to keep the program running. keep the program Hardenbren recommended the Google.com toolbar as an effective, free pop-up blocker as well. In addition to its searching capabilities, the program helps to block pop-ups. The program can be downloaded on www.google.com. — Edited by JJ Hensley Computer-crippling teen disputes charge The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — A high school senior charged with modifying a version of the Internet worm that crippled computer networks worldwide said the government has exaggerated its case against him, and disputed media coverage that portrayed him as a computer-savvy loner. "This is the first time I have ever had a run-in with the law. It's hurtful to see the accounts of me. I'm not depressed, embarrassed about my weight, or a misfit," Jeffrey Parson said in a transcript posted on MSNBC's Web site Parson said the government was going to make an example of him. "I understand that the government needs to catch someone for these crimes. I'm not the one they need to get," he said. Authorities say he admitted Parson, 18, faces one count of intentionally causing damage to a protected computer. Conviction could bring a maximum 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. during an interview with FBI and Secret Service agents that he modified the original "Blaster" infection that made computers attack the Microsoft Web site last month. Prosecutors said Parson's worm affected at least 7,000 computers. Parson will appear in court Sept.17 in Seattle. DID YOU GET YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT BACK WITHIN 30 DAYS? YOU SHOULD HAVE.

Woman's body recovered The Associated Press LIBERTY, Mo. — Even as their minivan filled with floodwater, Robert and Melissa Rogers tried to comfort their four children, singing Bible songs and praying. The waters eventually carried the suburban Kansas City family's minivan off the Kansas Turnpike near Emporia on Saturday as they returned from a family wedding. The children's bodies were found on Sunday. Melissa Rogers' body was found yesterday, along with the body of Al Larsen, 31, of Fort Worth, Texas, who had been in a separate car. The Rogers' neighbor, Mica Broyles, said the Rogers' faith and calm came as no surprise. The couple was active in the Northland Abundant Life Worship Center, where they helped with youth Bible quizzes, and Robert sometimes played piano. God," said Broyles, who talked to Robert Rogers Monday. Rogers told Broyles that when the water got to the steering wheel, he broke out a window of the van but was swept out of the vehicle. He had retained hope that his wife had survived until her body was found. Their whole life is to glorify Now, Rogers, 37, tries to rebuild his life without his family. And former classmates, teachers and neighbors begin to mourn the deaths. Robert and Melissa married on New Year's Eve of 1991, said Broyles, who lives across the street. The couple's first child was always grinning, always helpful 8-year-old Makenah. The second oldest, 5-year-old Zachary, had Downs syndrome and the family had learned sign language to communicate. Next came 3-year-old Nicholas. He was the baby until the family adopted 21- month-old Alenah from China. Lorie Liechi, with Children's Hope International, recalls the day she showed the couple Alenah's picture. "They both started crying." Liechi said. "That was their daughter. They were just thrilled." Liechti said the couple had always wanted to adopt a child. And news that Alenah was thought to have a congenital heart disease didn't dampen their enthusiasm. When she arrived in America, they found she did not have a heart condition. Before leaving for the Human Province in January to pick up Alenah, Robert and Melissa videotaped themselves reading bedtime stories. Each night Robert's sister played the video for the children. But the family was always doing things like that. Liechti adored the family. So did almost everyone who knew them. Army Corps defends plan The Associated Press TOPEKA — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is defending plans to release water from Kansas reservoirs to support barge traffic on the Missouri River, despite criticism from Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. Paul Johnston, a corps spokesman in Omaha, Neb., said yesterday that Milford, Perry and Tuttle reservoirs were sources of water for the Missouri because they recharged relatively quickly. The reservoirs are along the Kansas River, which flows into the Missouri at Kansas City. He also said federal law required the corps to support barge traffic and did not give the agency the power to ignore that duty. "I don't think anybody wants any federal agency picking and choosing which laws it complies with," Johnston said during an interview. Last week, Sebelius said bargetraffic was not as important to the economy as it was decades ago and suggested the corpsmanagement policies for theMissouri were out of date. Shestood by her statements during anews conference yesterday. "There's been litigation for almost a decade over this issue, and that seems to be a pretty fruitless area to continue to pursue," she told reporters. "We're no further down the road toward resolution than we were 10 years ago." The dispute over the river's management involves officials in the eight Missouri River basin states — Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri. Support for the river's recreation industry, mainly sport fishing on reservoirs in Montana and the Dakotas, has left leaders in those states aligned with environmentalists. Hall Center breaking ground By Courtney Kuhlen correspondent@kansan.com Kansan correspondent After nearly two years of planning, groundbreaking for the new Hall Center for the Humanities will take place tomorrow on the site of the old powerhouse, 900 Sunnyside Drive. Faculty, graduate students and community members are among the expected 100 people to attend Thursday's 3:30 p.m. ceremony, when the first stone of the Hall Center's new home is set. "We are looking forward to a larger building, because it will give us things we don't have now," said Victor Bailey, Hall Center director. The new building will be about 11,000 square feet, nearly doubling the size of the current facility. Along with more space, it will include a larger conference room and more offices for resident humanities research fellows. Bailey said the Hall Center wanted to form an intellectual community through the work of researchers and employees alike. "It's nice to think that we will hold many more of our own events." Bailey said, referring to the small building the Hall Center had outgrown. The new center will incorporate the arches of the old powerhouse on Sunnyside avenue. Bailey said he thought the site would attract a wider public audience because of interest in the restored and preserved powerhouse.

That margin is reduced even more if you lose the games you're supposed to win Kansas '28-20 season-opening loss to Northwestern Saturday was more than just one defeat. By itself, the loss may have set Mark Mangino's team back one year in the rebuilding process. See, this year's non-conference schedule wasn't supposed to be challenging. It was supposed to be four potential victories, paving the way to a possible six-victory season and a bowl trip—and greater glory in future years. Bill Snyder's Kansas State Wildcats, for whom Mangino worked from 1991-98, established the blueprint for building a long-term college football powerhouse from scratch. The process consists of four basic steps: 1. Schedule easy non-conference games, preferably at home. 2. Win those games and do just well enough in conference action to earn a trip to a pre-New Year bowl. 3. Convince top-notch recruits that your 6-6 regular season record and appearance in the Mediocrity.com Bowl means the program is on the verge of something big. 4. Using those recruits, break into the Top 10, earning yourself — at least in theory — perpetual shots at blue-chip prep players and BCS bowl games. Following the lead of his former employer, Mangino executed step one perfectly. But losing the opener means this year's team has little chance of reaching step two. A 6-6 record followed by a bowl trip might get Kansas all the way to step three in the rebuilding process by 2004. The goal for the Jayhawks was to be 4-0 when they play their Big 12 opener against Missouri on Sept. 27. As usual, the Jayhawks' Big 12 schedule is murder, with the Oct. 18 game against Baylor likely the only time Kansas will be favored. So to finish 6-6 and earn a trip to a lower-level bowl, the Jayhawks need to sneak an upset in there. The most likely candidate will be Iowa State on Nov. 22 at Memorial Stadium. But now, the 2003 Jayhawks are realistically looking at, best case scenario, a 5-7 season. And the difference between 6-6 and 5-7 is more than just one game — it's the difference between appearing at least mildly attractive to a touted prep prospect and not being worth said prospect's time. Mangino and his team have to follow K-State's lead on the field. Sure, these days the Wildcats earn well-deserved national ridicule for bashing helpless non-conference opponents they have no business playing. But back in the early '90s, when it was still in the rebuilding process, K-State won all the games it was supposed to win. That opened the door for Snyder to bring in players like Chris Canty and Michael Bishop, establishing the cycle of recruiting interest K-State needed to become a perennial top 10 team. It may be hard to believe that one loss could set back Mangino's rebuilding effort so severely. But if the Jayhawks manage to finish 5-7, they'll look back at the Northwestern game as a missed opportunity to accelerate their climb back to respectability.

Eric Braem/Kansan By John Domoney jdomoney@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Junior men's golfer Kevin Ward was left with a lasting impression from his play in the Western Amateur and United States Amateur Championships this summer. summer. "The courses were harder than anything I've ever played," Ward said. "It's as hard as it gets. I think I did pretty well for playing on courses that are practically impossible." cally impossible. It was Ward's play on those 'practically impossible' courses that has him focused on turning some of his best golf into team accomplishments for the Jayhawks. Ward finished in the top-20 at the Western Amateur and missed the cut by three strokes at the prestigious U.S. Amateur. said. "If I do that in the game, I'm While Ward admits that Kansas is the right spot for him, the junior did not sign with the Jawhaws out of high school The Rockhurst High School product instead headed south to play for Wichita State University. After a redshirt season in 2000-01, Ward looked elsewhere to continue his collegiate career. contain his colleagues. "I just didn't really like the school itself," Ward said. "I never fit in there. I tried to give it a chance, but I just made a mistake." If Wichita State was the wrong answer, then Kansas was the right one for Ward, where he burst onto the scene for coach Ross Randall's Jayhawks during his first year with the program in 2001-02. Ward filled in for an injured Tyler Hall midway through the spring season and played in seven events on his way to a 76.94 stroke average. Last season, Ward participated in five tournaments, with a 77.0 stroke average and a season-best tie for 46th at the Kansas Invitational. With a summer of tournament golf under his belt, Ward said this edition of the Jayhawks might prove to be the best in his three year career at Kansas. "I think our team has so much potential," Ward said. "If we get together and all play well together at the same time we can be top-10 in the country." This would be good news for Randal, who will count on Ward to be a vital piece of the puzzle for a team looking for its first conference championship since 1999. "I don't know just yet," said Randall referring to Ward's place in the starting five. "He certainly should be in there if WHAT'S IN THE BAG Driver: 580 Taylor Made Three Wood: Taylor Made Irons: Titleist 690 Wedges: 54 and 60 degree Cleveland Putter: Callaway White Hot Golf Balls: Pro V X In 1980, he won the European Amateur title.

One of Ward's worst enemies has been his knack for being a long hitter. Keeping his ball flight on a straight path is something both Ward and Randall would like to see. would like to see "I hit it long,but I also hit it crooked," Ward said. "If I can hit it straight and avoid big numbers, I can have a good round nine out of 10 times." As serious as Ward is about becoming a team leader for the Jayhawks, his teammates are often left with a lasting impression of Ward's comedic side. impression of War "He's a character that's for sure," said Andrew Price, Lake Forest, ill., junior. "He's just hysterical." Edited by Scott Christie Kicker faces stiff competition By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter It seemed as though Kansas junior kicker Johnny Beck was mired in a nightmare he could not wake up from the 2002 season. As a freshman in 2001, the Kansas City, Kan., native connected on 14-of-20 field goal attempts, making him one of just a few bright spots from a team that stumbled to a 3-8 finish. C That light seemed to burn out last year, as Beck hit only 7-of-17 attempts and missed four extra points. Even with the struggles, first-year coach Mark Mangino stuck with his young kicker, no matter how bad things got. In fans minds, no matter how bad things got that year, Beck was still a model of consistency. He was the gleaming light at the end of the long, dark tunnel. In fans' minds, no Beck In Saturday's season opener against Northwestern, Beck's misfortunes struck again as he missed his only field goal attempt of the game, a 20-yarder, early in the third quarter. early in the midsummer. "It upsets me just because I expect perfection from myself," Beck said. "I'm not trying to brag on myself, but I worked really hard in the spring and the summer. "I don't expect to go out there and miss a lot of kicks, especially a 20-yarder, but I guess if you know my past, those 20-yarders are a little tough sometimes." Beck's 2003 campaign may not have gotten off on the right foot last weekend, but his coach still expects him to come around by the time it's all said and done. Not only was Mangino impressed by Beck's improvements mechanically this offseason, but also mentally. season, but also mention the "Last year, if he missed a kick or something, his arms were flapping, he's holling at the holder, he's holling at the deep snapper," Mangino said. "This year, he understands that everyone's doing their best. In practice, if the snap's not right, he goes right back, he encourages the holder. Those are real signs of maturity." Beck said he thought the newfound maturity was something he not only needed for this season, but for his life after football as well. "I think I just came to the perspective that this isn't the only thing in my life," Beck said. "If I make excuses now, what am I going to do ten years from now when I'm at a job? I guess the way I'd say I have matured is just taking responsibility for my actions, not pointing the fingers whether it's my fault or it's not my fault. I'm not the one to judge." to judge. Another difference from last year to this year is that there is a younger prospect nipping at Beck's heels. Freshman Scott Webb, who was ranked 19th among kickers in the nation by Rivals.com last year as a high school senior, has begun to work his name into the mix. Mangino said that if he were put in a situation where he was forced to use Webb, he would be comfortable with the freshman. Even with Webb on the roster, Beck is concentrating on his own success with BECK'S CAREER STATISTICS 2001 2002 2003 Games 11 12 1 Extra Pt. 16-17 23-27 2-2 FG 20-29 yds. 1-2 3-3 0-1 30-39 4-6 3-7 - 40-49 7-10 1-4 - 50-59 2-2 0-3 - Longest 59 42 - the confidence that is one of his brightest qualities.

The Royals scored four runs in the ninth, but fell short when Francisco Cordero struck out pinch-hitter Aaron Guiel and Raul Ibanez to end it with a runner on second for their fourth straight loss. Kansas City remained two games behind the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox and fell a game back of Minnesota. The Rangers have won the first two games of the three-game series after losing the first six meetings between the teams this season. Nix's sixth homer put the Rangers in front 4-3 in a four-run fifth inning after the Royals had taken a 3-0 lead after three innings. Rangers starter Ismael Valdes (8-8) allowed three runs and six hits over five innings. He struck out two and walked two. Valdes was away from the team over the weekend to be with his wife, Karina, who gave birth to the couple's first child, Ismael Jr., on Saturday night in McAllen, Texas. Valdes rejoined the Rangers on Monday. Ryan Drese pitched three innings of shutout relief then loaded the bases in the ninth with none out. Cordero relieved and gave up a sacri- fice fly to Angel Berroa, an RBI double to Joe Randa and a two-run single to Mike Sweeney before finishing for his 12th save in 21 chances. Royala royals 7 Sweeney homered and went 3-for-4 with four RBIs for the Royals. Michael Young's leadoff double in the fifth was Texas' first hit. The Rangers had runners on first and second with one out after a walk to Alex Rodriguez. When Abbott went to a 2-0 count to Rafael Palmeiro, Royals manager Tony Pena ran to the mound to change pitchers. Abbott departed with a 3-1 lead, two outs short of qualifying for Royals starter Paul Abbott didn't allow a hit over the first four innings, although the Rangers had six baserunners over that span — five on walks, one on an error. Abbott allowed two runs and one hit over four 1-3 innings. He struck out five and walked six. Attedt allowed six runs and seven hits in one inning. the victory. give foxed 4-3 sage Texas stretched its lead to 8-3 with a four-run sixth against Affeldt on consecutive two-run doubles by Rafael Palmeiro and Teixeira. After reliever Jeremy Affeldt (6-6) retired Palmeiro on a fly ball, Teixeira had an RBI single and Nix homered to give Texas a 4-3 edge. The Royals got off to a fast start in the first when Berroa led off with a bunt single and Sweeney hit his 14th homer. Kansas City made it 3-0 in the third when Sweeney walked and scored on Carlos Beltran's triple. Mental state of Kobe accuser questioned The Associated Press DENVER — Kobe Bryant's lawyers have subpoenaed a Colorado hospital to see his accuser's medical records — the first indication they might make her mental health an issue if the sexual assault case against the NBA star goes to trial. The subpoenas were disclosed in a court filing by a Greeley, CO. hospital where the 19-year-old accuser was treated in February after police at the University of Northern Colorado determined she was a "danger to herself." Campus police have refused to say whether the woman attempted suicide, saying only that the hospitalization was for a mental health issue. Attorneys for the North Colorado Medical Center and its psychiatric care center asked a judge to quash the subpoenas and destroy the records already sent to him, citing medical privacy laws. Medical center attorney Mik McConnell said there are legal provisions for giving medical records to attorneys in criminal cases, and the hospital wants to make sure it is taking the required steps. The woman's attorney has told the hospital she has "explicitly not waived her medical privilege," according to the filing. yesterday. Bryant, 25, is charged with sexually assaulting the 19-year-old Colorado resort employee June 30. The Los Angeles Lakers guard has said the sex was consensual. An Oct. 9 hearing will determine whether there will be a trial. Information about the woman's mental health might never be presented to the jury if the case goes to trial, a legal expert said. Calls to the accuser's attorney and Bryant's defense team were not returned yesterday. "Whether that would be allowed depends on whether there's anything else there other than (attempted) suicide, some other indication of mental instability or something that would point toward her being an unreliable observer or witness," said Christopher Mueller, a professor at the University of Colorado law school. Meanwhile, an Iowa college student pleaded innocent in Denver federal court yesterday to making a death threat against Bryant's accuser in a profanity-laced telephone message last month. John Roche, 22, said nothing in court and ignored reporters outside. He remains free on $250,000 bail. U. S. Magistrate Patricia Coan barred Roche from drinking alcohol and limited his travel to Colorado and to Iowa, where he attends the University of Iowa. A Nov. 3 trial was scheduled before U.S. District Judge Walker Miller. Roche's attorney, Nathan Chambers, said there was a good chance of a plea bargain, but would not elaborate. If convicted, Roche could get up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. A friend of Roche has said Roche is a "sports fanatic" who had been drinking all day at a golf tournament when he allegedly made the call. inlegedly made the call. Some Web sites have disclosed the identity of Bryant's accuser, and the judge in the case has said some letters sent to authorities included death threats. Also, the father of Bryant's accuser has called police at least twice in recent weeks to report suspicious incidents. Also yesterday, a group of news organizations said they intend to appeal Eagle County Judge Frederick Gannett's order to withhold from the public most of the detailed court records of the case. Attorney Chris Beall, whose clients include The Denver Post, CNN and NBC, has said court records can remain secret only for a compelling reason. Prosecutors have said they will not appeal Gannett's order. Bryant's attorneys have not indicated their plans. Cardinals win second, drop first to Chicago The Associated Press Sammy Sosa hit a two-run homer in the 15th inning to give the Cubs a 4-2 victory in the four-hour, 47-minute opener. CHICAGO — Matt Morris outpitched Kerry Wood and Jim Edmonds hit his second homer of the day as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs 2-0 to split their day-night doubleheader last night. Morris (9-4) allowed five hits in seven scoreless innings. Jason Isringhausen pitched the save. Jason istringham preached at Cubs reliever Antonio Alfonseca and left fielder Moises Alou were ejected in the eighth inning after an angry confrontation with third-base umpire Justin Klemm. In the bottom of the seventh, Klemm called Alou's bases-loaded drive down the line just foul. As the Cubs took the field in the eighth, Alfonseca charged out of the bullpen area and screamed at Klemm and then so did Alou, who had to be restrained by teammate Kenny Lofton.

State mock election shows Missouri loyal to Royals The Associated Press JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Just like in 1985 World Series, the Kansas City Royals have once again edged out the St. Louis Cardinals. The Royals won a mock election at the Missouri State Fair that asked people to pick the best professional baseball team in the state. The final score: Royals 2,071, Cardinals 1,975. "Just like the 1985 World Series, this contest went down to the wire," Secretary of State Matt Blunt, who sponsored the mock election, said Monday. "Emotions ran high on both sides as family members and friends held spirited conversations at the ballot box over which team truly deserved this honor." was held in Sedalia, which is twice as far from St. Louis as it is from Kansas City. The Royals won the 1985 World Series over the Cardinals in seven games, but the Cardinals hold a 14-13 advantage since the teams began interleague play in 1997. Blunt said the Cardinals seemed to have an edge in early balloting, but "Kansas City Day" at the fair on Aug. 15 put the Royals ahead for good. Geography may have played into the mock election, because the State Fair As Missouri's chief elections official and as the umpire in this special series, I congratulate both teams for their effort and I thank them for giving our state two teams of the highest quality." Blunt said. Entering play yesterday, the Royals trailed the Chicago White Sox by two games in the AL Central, while the Cardinals were tied for first in the NL Central. Meanwhile, Missourians at the fair chose Branson as their favorite recreational spot in the state with St. Louis and the Missouri State Fair as runners up. In a similar State Fair election last year, Blunt asked Missourians to decide whether the proper pronunciation of the state name is "Missou-ree" or "Missourah." Missou-ree won by a landslide, 74 percent to 26 percent. Free forAll - I have got an idea.

Kansas lost seven athletes to graduation, while 24 return to the squad. "It's really important that our swimmers make a year round commitment to the program and they have done so." Campbell said. "We have a solid core coming back with freshmen making the transition from high school to Division I swimming go smoothly." Junior Amy Gruber became the first Jayhawk since 1998 to compete in the NCAA championships, which were held this year at Auburn University in Auburn, Ala. Gruber took 37th place in the 50-meter freestyle and 29th in the 200-meter freestyle, in which she achieved career best times. She also finished 33rd in the 100-meter freestyle race. Gruber was also named as the lone Jayhawk Academic All-American, the program's first since 1900 program's last since 1953 "I'm very confident that there Other key returners are sophore Gina Gnatzig, who had the highest Jayhawk finish in last season's Big 12 Championships with a third place finish in 200 backstroke, breaking the Kansas record (2:01.40). Miranda Isaac (2:20.04) and Kristen Johnson (2:20.30) finished in seventh and eighth place in the 200 breaststroke, respectively. will be others that will be in the NCAA Championships," Gruber said. "A lot of teammates were really close last year, and now with one going last year, it boosted everyone to be motivated to make it this spring." Kansas had a 6-5 dual record last season and finished fourth in the Big 12 Conference Championship, where Campbell received the coach of the meet award. Going into his second season at Kansas, Campbell said if the athletes utilized consistency, kept the program regimen simple, individualized improvement and had fun, then success would become a "self-fulfilling prophecy." The Jayhawks compete in their first dual meet of the season against Southern Illinois on Sept. 26th at home in the Robinson Center across the street from Allen Fieldhouse. Edited by Dave Nobles Golfers gear up for fall's first match By Mike Bauer mbauer@kansan.com Kansas sportwriter The rain Saturday cancelled one of five qualifying rounds for the women's golf team's first match of the season, but they will play the final round today anyway. The team wasn't happy about Saturday's missed match, coach Megan Menzel said. "It's always disappointing, because they were looking for ward to playing," Menzel said. The team started qualifying rounds last Wednesday and continued playing Friday, Monday and yesterday to decide which six players will go to the season opener Sunday, Sept. 7, at Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, Colo. The match will include players from Kansas State University, Baylor University, University of Colorado in Denver and the University of Colorado in Boulder. Five Kansas players will participate as a team, one player will participate as an individual, and that player's score will not count towards the team score. Amanda Costner, Claremore Okla, freshman, was leading the qualifier with a total score of 224 for three rounds. "I feel good. I was expecting to do pretty good. I've been hitting the ball pretty good. I'm definitely looking forward to starting the season," Costner said. Jill Womble, Pleasanton, Calif., freshman, had a score of 235 and Jennifer Bawanan, Modesto, Calif., senior, had a score of 234. Menzel and Costner said everyone on the team was playing great. great. "I think they've been doing good. They've been good as far as making me feel welcome," Costner said. Edited by Katie Nelson Rain may delay U.S. Open final matches The Associated Press NEWYORK — Andy Roddick walked down the hallway from the locker room at Arthur Ashe Stadium, then made a left just before the door leading to the court. Where was he headed? To the tournament referee's office, site of the biggest buzz of activity yesterday afternoon at the U.S. Open. Rain postponed matches for a second straight day, and officials said the tournament might not finish on time. Unlike at the Australian Open, there are no covered courts at the National Tennis Center for play or practice. Arlen Kantarian, U.S. Tennis Association CEO of pro tennis, said a company that does stadium planning was recently hired to look into whether it would make sense to put a roof on Arthur Ashe Stadium. And unlike at Wimbledon, no tarps or tents are put on courts when it rains. "We've been talking about covers since the '80s," Martina Navratilova said. "Yesterday they spent more time drying the courts than it rained. When are they going to learn? We have no say on it. Yesterday, it was two hours of play, six hours of drying. Fifteen minutes is enough after a drizzle." So organizers were contemplating all sorts of contingency plans to finish the event by Sunday. But with a serious backlog, there is a chance the men's final could be played on a Monday for the first time since 1987. "It's obviously driving the players crazy. Everybody wants to see some tennis," John McErone said on television. "The sport is losing out right now. This is the United States Open, and we're sitting here twiddling our thumbs." Earley said one option would be to have players who have to finish a suspended match also go out later and play another full match on the same day. Asked whether men could be asked to play two full best-of-five set matches in one day, Earley said: "I never say 'Never.' Hard for me to imagine that, but then again, I've never been in this situation." Todd Martin, the ATP Player Council president, said players wouldn't be willing to do that. Martin also dismissed the idea of reducing men's matches to best-of-three sets. "I don't remember seeing a 72-hole Grand Slam golf tournament condensed," he said.

While both teams hope to reclaim their titles as meet champions, assistant coach Doug Clark said this meet is an opportunity to see where both squads are at right now, but that they aren't going to take any chances. Clark said some of the women, including Angela Pichardo, freshman runner, and last year's meet champion, distance runner junior Laura Lavoie, would not be running because of injuries. "We have some people who are banged up a bit," Clark said. Coach Stanley Redwine said this meet was the perfect situation for someone to step up and prove themselves. KANSAS KANSAS RELAYS 1061 GILL "I think we know we know what to expect from the upperclassmen. We are hoping that they've gotten better since last year." Redwine said. "I also think it will be a great opportunity for our young people to have the opportunity to race." opportunity Benson Chesang, sophomore runner, is one of those young people. Chesang, the Big 12 outdoor track 10, 000-meter champion will have the opportunity to race the course for the first time on Saturday. "I just want to go out and have a good run and really work the hills," he said. "I think it will be a good race for the team." Andy Samuelson/Kansan For runners like D.J. Hilding, sophomore runner, who has ran the course since his freshmen year at Lawrence High School, this meet is all about gauging his fitness level. "My goal for this meet was the same as it was last year, just to improve upon last year's race," Hilding said. "I just want to place higher and finish faster." Paige Higgins, juniorrunner, and Megan Manthe, sophomore runner, share similar goals for their race. Both said they are using the race to see how well they prepared over the summer. Redwine said competing at home is something both teams take very seriously. "I want to see where I am individually." Manthe said. It'll give us a good opportunity to see where the team is at." "We're at home. The home crowd gets to see us race," he said. "So all those things combined make it an exciting time for cross country right now." Kansas' Dan Ferguson splashed through a water obstacle during the 3,000 meter steeple chase April 19 at the 2003 Kansas Relays. Ferguson, Medicine Lodge junior, and the Kansas cross country team will compete Saturday at the Bob Timmons Invitational at Rim Rock Farm. "Rim Rock is one of the toughest courses in the nation," he said. "It always helps to hear your friends and family cheering you on as you come up some of those hills." Chris Jones, freshman/sophomore runner, agreed that running at home could only help the Hawks. The Jayhawks will compete against four junior colleges as well as the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Park University, and Haskell Indian Nations University. The women's race starts at 9 a.m. and the men's race follows at 9:45. Directions to Rim Rock farm can be located online at www.kuathletics.com/crosscountry/rim_rock_map.html.

Davis, the team's top draft pick, was selected over Tay Cody, a third-year pro. "I think that it will be a lot of fun," Davis said. "It's a dream G come true just to play a game in the NFL. And to play against a team like the Chiefs, with the No. 1 offense in the league last year, that would be big." Cody was sideline for the final two exhibition games, and Davis came on in those two contests. Davis, who had two interceptions this summer, will start opposite Jammer, the five overall pick last year, has four NFL starts. Ouentin Jammer. "You get them out there with a chance to play and know they'll stumble from time to time," coach Marty Schottenheimer said. "But what you want to make sure is that when they stumble, they stand back up and keep going." Drayton Florence, another rookie cornerback, didn't practice yesterday after sustaining a black eye in a downtown alteration on Saturday. Florence, who said he was sucker-punched after exchanging words with someone sitting on his car, is expected to return to practice tomorrow. If fit, Florence will return kicks and be the nickel back against the Chiefs. K-State's Sproles to play against McNeese The Associated Press MANHATTAN, Kan.— Kansas State running back Darren Sproeles said yesterday he would start and play substantially against McNese State on Saturday, despite an undisclosed leg injury that forced him out of the Wildcats' last game. Kansas State's Sproles was taken to the locker room late in the second quarter of Kansas State's 41-5 victory against Troy State last week- end. Kansas State coach Bill C Snyder would not disclose the exact nature of the injury, but it was not serious enough to keep Sproles from practicing Monday with the Wildcats. "I'm gonna play." Sproles said. Sproles limped off the field Saturday after a 5-yard gain, and the injury snapped his string of 10 straight 100-yard rushing games. "I practiced the whole time." "I wanted to go back out there," Sproles said. "But they wouldn't let me. They took my shoulder pads away. I was scared, then I was mad. The record meant something, but stuff happens." Sproles rushed for 175 yards against California in Kansas State's season opener, including a 53-yard run on Kansas State's first play. "I don't think there's any doubt about his toughness," Snyder said. "He was running around and took some snaps last night. He'll be all right. He's tough and he always will be."

The team is made up of KU students, many of whom transferred to the University after playing a year or more of Division II or Division III soccer. Second-year coach Matthew McCune said the players generally transferred because club soccer was less strenuous than varsity soccer but was still serious and competitive. McCune, club soccer alumnus said he coached the team because it had been dropping in numbers and losing recognition. and roaming recognizlons "I wanted to try and help the fellas who are out here get the program back up on its feet," McCune said. The Jayhawks played two preseason games in August this year for the first time. They played to a 2-2 tie against the varsity team at the University of Missouri-Rolla and defeated Missouri-Southern 3-0. The Jayhawks have a tough schedule this season, with varsity teams from Midwest schools as well as Top 25-ranked club teams. McCune said there hadn't been much competition from area club teams so he planned a harder schedule this year. In his two years as coach, the Jayhawks have not lost a league game. One of the team's biggest challenges is the Colorado Mountain Invitational. The defending national champions Weber State will be the team to beat. Each year, 24 teams go to the National Tournament, and this year's seniors are familiar with it. The team finished sixth at the tournament last year, eighth in 2001 and in the Top 10 in 2000. The team wants to make it to the National Tournament in Alabama in November. Andy Nussbaum, a Wichita junior who missed a Division I scholarship because of injuries, said the team had a good chance of winning the championship if it continued to work hard and play well together. The team is a University's Recreation Services club program, and is funded with money from Recreation Services as well as sponsorships from Lawrence businesses. ships from Lawrence, Missouri. The team plays a home game against Kansas State at 1 p.m. Sept. 7 at the Shenk Complex, 23rd and Iowa streets.

"After reviewing all available information, it is concluded that the facts do not support the crime of hazing," a statement from District Attorney Christine Kenney said. Kansas law prohibits a social organization from promoting or permitting hazing; doing so is a misdemeanor Patrick Redetzke, president of the University of Kansas chapter of Sigma Nu, said he agreed with the decision. "I'm glad the truth has surfaced and our innocence has been revealed," he said. Police also investigated Sigma Nu to see if alcohol was furnished to a minor in the incident. Kenney said the decision on those charges is pending. those charges The investigation began when the student was injured Aug. 13 at the Sigma Nu house, 1501 Sigma Nu Place. Police reported the student hit his head in a pledge ritual. The pledge was thrown and expected to land on his feet, according to police. Police found the Olathe student unconscious and he was sent by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, then to University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., for head injuries. He was treated and released the next day. The University of Kansas' Center for Campus Life is conducting an independent investigation. it investigation. "We've made progress, but it's not complete," said Danny Kaiser, the center's director. Sunny studies The investigation will determine if Sigma Nu violated KU's Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities. The code prohibits hazing, which is defined as an action required for membership that is unsafe, endangers mental or physical health or causes excessive discomfort. Sigma Nu could face probation or suspension if the the center finds it in violation of the code.

West Nile Virus strikes student By Dustin Fox correspondent@kansan.com Kansan correspondent The West Nile Virus has found its way to the University of Kansas. Bryce Vermillion, Eudora senior, contracted the virus from a mosquito while visiting his brother in Colorado four weeks ago. Vermillion said he woke up before ing and felt sick after a night of drinking. a girl slack after a night of drinking. "At first I thought I was hung over from the night before." he said. "It just continued to get worse though." Vermillion said he suffered headaches, joint and back pain, nausea, fever and a rash on his back and shoulders as a result of the virus. After three days Vermillion went to the doctor where he was told he had the virus. Because there is no vaccine for West Nile, the doctor gave Vermillion antibiotics to relieve his symptoms. "I didn't really know what to think when they told me I had it," Vermillion said. "You can't believe it really happened to you. It's one of those things where you're kind of shell shocked." where you're kind of weird. The fact that Vermillion suffered symptoms is rare, said Myra Strother, associate director and chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Many people with West Nile never know they have it, Strother said. Eighty percent of people infected with West Nile don't show any symptoms, she said. snow any symptoms, she said. "Hopefully a lot of us are getting the insect bites and we're not getting any symptoms." Strother said. "That way we're getting nice little antibodies built up and then we're immune." Though no one is completely immune from West Nile, those with weak immune systems, especially young children and the elderly, are at a much higher risk for contracting and suffering symptoms from the virus. Most human cases involve symptoms similar to those suffered by Vermillion, including fever and joint pain. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment estimates one in 150 people who contract West Nile will develop more severe symptoms like tremors, stiff neck and paralysis. tons like ternets, Because West Nile can't be passed by person-to-person contact, Vermillion didn't miss any class time. Aside from becoming fatigued from time to time, Vermillion said things were back to normal. million said Vermillion likely would not be the last KU student with West Nile this year. this year: “This is probably just going to be something that's going to be around,” Strother said. “Eventually we're all maybe going to get bit and develop the antibodies.” The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has confirmed 17 human cases of West Nile Virus so far this year. There are several more unconfirmed cases, including two in Douglas County. In late August, a 93-year-old Butler County resident was the first Kansan to die from the West Nile Virus. West Nile has hit Colorado, where Vermillion contracted the disease, the hardest. So far this year, Colorado officials have confirmed 635 human cases and six have died.

Maska jmaska@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Andrea Pantoja has worked for a year but she's just gotten her first paycheck. bursary program. Pantoja, Mission, Kan., junior, works for the Multicultural Recruitment Team for the University of Kansas. This summer Student Senate, through the Equal Opportunity student fee, provided funding for team pay for the first time. ing for team pay for the first time. For three years, the team has worked as part of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships' emphasis on multicultural recruitment, Claudia Mercado, the program's associate director, said. But until now, the team, comprised of 11 students, wasn't paid. The small group of students give tours and stay in contact with potential students by phone and mail. Pauline Sung, junior, and Takuya Jay Inoue, Countryside senior, greet each other at the Asian American Student Union both yesterday at the volunteer fair in the Kansas Union. The AASU was there advertising the activities and services they host and sponsor. Pantoja said she remembered when she was recruited to come to KU. As part of a multicultural recruitment effort, Pantoja came to the University for an overnight stay. There, she found students like her. She thought she could fit in. like her. She thought, Lisa Pinnamonti, director of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, said the office has increased its emphasis on multicultural recruitment over the past few years. Mercado is one of a three-member administration that organizes events aimed at minority students. The administration works to organize events, such as multicultural senior day, multicultural junior day and Super Saturday which aim to showcase diverse facets of the University. They also send recruiters to predominantly minority areas of Kansas such as Wyandotte county. Their efforts also extend to areas of St. Louis and the Rio Grande area of Southern Texas. Mercado said at some of the high school fairs, they provide the only out-of-state option. When students can backup what recruiters say, Mercado said, recruiting becomes easier. Pantoja said she works to connect with students. She meets students to give them a tour and she continues to stay in touch via phone calls and e-mails. She wants to make sure students don't go elsewhere. don't go elsewhere. After a year on the team, Pantoja didn't think she would be able to come back to the team. But the money, Pantoja said, certainly helps. In the spring of each year, campus organizations can request E.O.F. funding from Student Senate. A separate committee is responsible for handing it out. The Multicultural Recruitment Team has applied for the past two years. Both times they got denied. But this summer, they got a surprise. Jonathan Ng, former student body president and chair of the awarding committee, said the application was denied because the group asked for stipends, 7 not hourly wage. However, Mercado remained persistent. During the summer, Ng and Mercado were part of a group that met again to review the application. They agreed on an hourly wage of $8/hour for members and $11/hour for the chair. It was late this summer before Pantoja or Mercado knew they would get the money. Because groups don't always use the full grant, there is typically left-over 4. money, Ng said. For this year, they've found enough. But for next year, Ng said he hopes the group's funding will be more consistent. He has worked with the Provost's office to suggest funding be part of the tuition increase. As a diverse campus is part of the Chancellor's goal, Ng said this program fits the mold. - Edited by Nikki Overfelt --- in other words in other words "It's like the Oakland Raiders saying to Tampa Bay, 'We know you beat us, but we want to play the Super Bowl again.'"

Unidentified man exposes himself in Fraser Hall lobby According to a KU public safety office report, the victim was sitting in the front lobby of Fraser Hall reading at 4:45 p.m. when she noticed a white, heavy-set male in his twenties wearing black gym shorts exposing and touching himself. The suspect was standing behind a pillar about 18 feet away from the victim. The suspect then looked at the victim and ran out of the building through the south door. The victim said she did not get a good enough look at the suspect to identify him and chose not to pursue criminal charges. Ellsworth Hall laundry service interrupted for improvements Joe Hartigan Ellsworth Hall residents must find another place to do their laundry after contractors shut down the basement for remodeling. Rachel Rumble, assistant director for resident life, said the basement was blocked off so contractors could lay tile on the floors. With all the glue on the floor for the tile, Ellsworth had to shut down the floor, she said. Rumple said this was part of the second phase of the remodeling the Department of Student Housing planned for Ellsworth. The project is scheduled to be completed by December 2003. "We have been working closely with them and are confident thing will be finished soon," Rumble said. Rumple suggested that Ellsworth residents go to any of the other residence halls on Daisy Hill to do laundry from 7a.m.to 11p.m. "I know it's not the most convenient, but that's the best option we have," Rumble said. "We can't really do anything until the contractors let us know it's ready." Nick Zluticky MIDDLE EASTERN UNION Local Lawrence hospital closes psychiatric care ward Mental care patients at the University of Kansas will no longer get local crisis treatment—Lawrence Memorial Hospital's inpatient psychiatric care ward closed Monday. Counseling and Psychological Services, a psychiatric crisis service for students at the University, used to send those in need of emergency care to the hospital's inpatient ward. Frank DeSalvo, CAPS director, said because of the change, he wasn't sure where students could find help. CAPS will contact area hospitals to arrange similar programs, DeSalvo said. But if a student cannot find transportation out of town,the cost of an ambulance would come out of the student's pocket,he said. The KU Psychiatric Clinic is in a similar position. The clinic handles both students and Lawrence residents but cannot provide inpatient care when crises strike. Ron Knox Clarification An article in yesterday's University Daily Kansan needs clarification. The article, "Miller, Watkins halls to drop suit," stated that the two scholarship halls were suing the University of Kansas and Bank of America. The halls are not the plaintiffs. Instead, 25 residents and former residents are plaintiffs in the suit. KII info Question of the day Is it legal to fish at Potter Lake?

Gordon Straus/Kansan (1) Members of the Lawrence community listened to Lauren Sullivan, the informal organizer of the Lawrence for Dean group during a gathering at the public library. The meeting, held last night, was held in order to garner support for Howard Dean, Democratic presidential candidate. Lawrence has had enough. "I am Lauren Sullivan and I want my country back." Lauren Sullivan's declaration came in front of 60 other supporters of Howard Dean. Supporters of Dean, one of nine candidates for the Democratic Presidential nomination, gathered at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., for the fourth meeting of Lawrence For Dean. The group is a part of Dean's national campaign, which has groups in more than 500 cities. The groups hold meetings to discuss the Democratic presidential candidate and mobilize support. candidate Lawrence For Dean started after organizing on the Dean for President Web site, www.deanforamerica.com. The Web site uses a service, Meetup, to organize local, smaller meetings. Sullivan, chairman of Lawrence for Dean and Lawrence graduate student, said meeting attendance has increased since 14 people came to the first meeting in July. Wearing a Dean T-shirt which had "Fast GOP relief" printed on a box of Aspirin, Sullivan said she was tired of the way President Bush had been running the country. try. "This is more than a political campaign," Sullivan said. "It is a movement."

The crowd cheered along with the video when Dean said he would "reverse everything President Bush has done," on a C-SPAN debate. debate. Madelaine Marchin, Manhattan senior, has been a Dean supporter since she heard him speak two years ago at a Young Democrats convention. Dean has strong beliefs on important issues like education, she said. "I see the country going in a direction that is dangerous and I have to do something," Marchin said. As former Governor of Vermont, Dean provided health insurance to all Vermont children, balanced the budget and championed The No Child Left Behind Act, an education bill that stresses equal education opportunities regardless of economic background. These efforts and his unique background — he's also a licensed doctor—have led to increased media attention. In recent weeks, Dean has been featured on the covers of Time, Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report. World Report. Dean has dubbed this month "The September to Remember." His goal is to gain the support of 450,000 voters nationally. So far there are 347,124 Americans registered with the Dean Web site. In Lawrence, 198 people have signed up to receive Dean related news. up to receive Dean's Marchin, a member of KU's Young Democrats, is organizing a KU for Dean group, that will include students and faculty.

Justin McFarland, College Republicans chairman, said the College Republicans planned to support President Bush next fall. He said that while any candidate was competition, he was confident that Bush would remain in the White House for another four years. "I think the campaign is running on a bunch of hype," McFarland said. "It will be interesting to see if it lasts another 13 months." — Edited by Abby Sidesinger By Paul Kramer pkramer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Online voting gets OK from Senate Students will be able to vote in campus elections from any University of Kansas computer, after a package of election legislation was passed last night at the Student Senate meeting. The bill eliminated any chance of off-campus voting, by limiting access to KU computers in labs such as Budig Hall and the Kansas Union, or any other University computer. Students can also vote from residence hall computer labs. Kyle Johnson, student executive chair and sponsor of the bill, said he thought the validity of voting would be compromised if it took place off campus. Kristin Seibel, residential senator, argued that voting should be allowed by anyone with access to the Internet. Seibel said ethical standards would prevent illegal practices. computer tests. The bill was opposed by Melinda Bretthauer, non-traditional senator, who argued that not all students have the time to stay on campus and vote. She cited students who commute from Kansas City, students with children and student with jobs as those affected by the bill. The original bill passed. Online voting will be available to students for two days from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on the first day of voting and 6 a.m to 4 p.m. on the second day of voting.Days of voting will be specified before the elections. Last night's other debated bill was a funding proposal for the University's blood drive that begins Sept. 29. beginns Sept. 19. The bill was brought before full Senate and presented with the amendment to add $431 for an awareness campaign for a Food and Drug Administration policy that forbids gay males who have had sex with another male since 1977 from giving blood. STUDENT THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SENATE As opposition began to come from Senators unhappy with a $431 commitment, representatives from the Student Legislative Awareness Board stepped forward and offered to take on the awareness campaign, alleviating the senate's financial burden. Blake Shuart, SLAB legislative director, said that even though SLAB might not be able to meet the $431 the Senate was going to spend, the campaign would be as effective. "We can give more energy and time and involve more campus groups such as Queers and Allies and the KU Blood Drive Committee," Shuart said. - Edited by Katie Nelson Forum discusses Internet privacy violations, identity theft By Joe Hartigan jhartigan@kansan.com Kansan staff writer One of the main causes of identity theft is information shared by Internet companies, speakers said at a forum held yesterday. "Most people just scroll down and click yes when those privacy agreements pop up," said Jenny Mehmedovic, assistant vice provost for information services. "You should really read those to see what those companies are doing with your information." The forum, Privacy Issues Since September 11, was hosted by Student Union Activities and was at the Hawks Nest of the Kansas Union. Panelists discussed various issues related to privacy including the Patriot Act, airport security and computer viruses. The speakers were David Gottlieb, professor of law; Bill Staples. chair of sociology department; Jim Flory, an assistant U.S. Attorney; Dinah Lovitch, a representative of the Lawrence Public Rights Defense Committee; and Mehmedovic and Jerree Catlin, associate director of academic computing services. Catlin said the best way to protect yourself from identity theft was to change passwords often and keep them secret. "You see kids shouting passwords across the room," Catlin said. "Don't even tell your mom." Catlin said there was a way to protect computers against viruses that could distribute personal information on the web. For the last year and a half, academic computing services has offered students and faculty a free virus detection system that tracks viruses, Catlin said. While opinions among the panel members varied, each speaker was concerned with the effect technology has on privacy. "Soon we'll be putting our fingerprints into the computer when we want to log on or scanning our retinas," Staples said. "Those are just solutions that create a whole new set of problems." About 25 people attended the forum. Sean Pauzauskie, forums coordinator for SUA and organizer of the event, said he was pleased with the discussion. "My intent was to take a multifaceted look at privacy since Sept. 11." Pauzkausie said. "I felt like that definitely came out of the discussion." David Armstrong, Overland Park sophomore, said attending the event gave him a new perspective. tive: "I had only heard the left side of it," he said. "I was really glad to hear the opposite side." —Edited by Neeley Spellmeier ask listen solve 864-5846 864-5846 www.commercebank.com Here's good news.

Nowhere near government Answer lies in Constitution Religion, or its artistic representation, has no place on the grounds of a government building—end of story. mert building The removal of the 10 Commandments statue from an Alabama judicial building should serve as a reminder to Americans. Our government does not and should not allow the promotion of any religion, be it through laws, funding or within its buildings But the U.S. government does not prohibit religious expression in this country, nor should it. Americans are allowed to practice any religion they choose, or none at all. The purpose of separation of church and state has always been to respect the freedom of religion, not to infringe upon it. religion, not to migrate religion. The best way to preserve religion is to have a government that does not endorse any. According to the Americans United for Separation of Church and State Web site (www.au.org), as soon as government money or rhetoric is used to support a church, the citizens' incentive to promote and maintain their churches begins to dissipate. Truly, religious Americans should understand and support the separation of church from state. Now, not many Americans are advocating an official Church of the United States. However, lobbying for prayer in school and retaining "God" on our money is comparable to asking for a religious place within government. If religion is to be separate from state activities, allotted prayer time and the acknowledgment of a higher power on our currency run contradictory to that principle. The point here is principle. If we, as Americans, start letting the church-state line blur, we are not allowing freedom of expression. We are allowing the religious voice to be heard where it does not belong. Freedom of expression means people are allowed to practice the religion of their choice; it does not mean the majority religion should be allowed to display and promote that religion through government means. If you are a person who identifies with a religion, ask yourself these questions: Do I have the right to expect my country to favor my religion over all Face-Off is a project of the Kansan editorial board.

E-mail suggestions to opinion@ kansan.com. religion over all others? Should I defend the making of laws that support my religion or support religion over non-religion in general? Should I support legislation or actions that give obvious preference to religious-minded people like me? The answer should be no on all counts. If you like living in a country that establishes your religion by law, then perhaps you should consider living in a theocracy, not a democracy. Otherwise, it is time that all Americans recognize the value of a country that keeps religion far from law-making, or as the case may be, our judicial buildings. Amanda Flott for the editorial board It may be entirely true that Chief Justice Roy Moore of Alabama was out of line in placing a more than two-ton monument to the Ten Commandments outside his courtroom. It may have been an insensitive and callous act that could needlessly alienate good, upstanding Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Wiccans and Zoroastrians. Let me start right off by saying that I will concede a pawn. It may have been all those things and more. But the question is: Does that mean the monument can be removed? Can a federal court rule on this matter? I would argue no. When issues such as these arise—and they seem to do so with increasing frequency of late—opponents of the Ten Commandments/prayer in schools“under God”in the Pledge of Allegiance all rally to one ubiquitous banner: “the Separation of Church and State,” and enlist the help of activist judges. One would think that such an important phrase would be inscribed in our Constitution in at least one, if not several, places. Whoever thinks that would be wrong. The phrase comes from a letter of Thomas Jefferson. Our founding father considered religion a personal matter to be undertaken wholly by the individual and who was appalled at the thought of the federal government interfering in any way with those individuals, or their states, in religious matters. The relevant text of the First Amendment reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Returning to Moore, let me play the devil's advocate against myself by assuming the action was callous. Let us even assume that good taste and prudence would require him to move it. One may consider Moore's actions to be distasteful to any measure one might choose. The great thing about this country is that distaste does not constitute law. None exists. Thomas Jefferson would spin in his grave to think that his words were being railroaded by federal courts into equating such things as monuments and prayer in schools with establishing a national religion. Where, I would ask, is the Constitutional justification for forcing Moore to move his monument by command of a federal court? There is simply no parallel to be drawn between Moore's monument and a Congressional establishment of an official religion. Matthew Pirotte dissenting Marriage in college: Is now the best time to do it? Marriage. Whether the word strikes fear into your heart or conjures up daydreams of joint bank accounts and inlaws, one thing is for sure: Marriage is the most grown-up thing a person can do. COMMENTARY P Here's what else I know: An important event happened between high school and college, and it shows no sign of stopping. People I know started to get married. While I was still trying to figure out how many days I should wait by the phone when a guy said, "I'll call you," the girl across the hall from me was designing her engagement ring on online. Louise Stauffer opinion@kansan.com married? As a freshman, I thought the few people my age getting married were freaks. Like a science experiment in a petri dish, I watched them with interest to see how long they would last. I still wonder: Why do we want to get married? long they would be. Now I am a senior, and it seems this marriage idea is more than a risk some are willing to take. Like lemmings, couples are taking the big leap and grabbing up gold or platinum rings. The thought of getting married doesn't even make me cringe anymore. This has caught me by surprise. I always assumed my friends, and yes, even I, would balance our checkbooks properly and know how to sew on buttons before thinking about choosing a life partner. the partner. Apparently not. I know of at least 15 acquaintances who are married or engaged, and I am willing to bet that none of them know how to darn socks. I asked Joyce Davidson, staff psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services, located in Watkins Memo rial Health Center, why marriage was so appealing to college students. She didn't tell me they wanted security. She didn't tell me they wanted children. Instead, she said high-energy young adults are constantly meeting people, which increases their chances of meeting someone they think will be a good match for them. She also said that the desire to continue relationships after college could spur talk of marriage. before starting a file with some data. But she cautioned against waiting too long to marry. more stress; but it's important to have a strong sense of self and established life goals before starting a life with someone else. "A person can get very set in their ways," she said. "They're not quite as flexible." It's a valid fear for some when they realize that every night will be like trying to pick a film for two. "Sometimes not committing puts on more stress," she said. Think about renting a film with your significant other. Unlike renting a movie you like, it takes twice as long to find one you both like. Girls: For the record, most guys hate Hugh Grant. to pick a mini for two. I've decided to hold no prejudices about college-age marriages. Only you know when you're ready to enter a permanent union. Only you know when you're really in love and want to come home to the same person every night. The "one" may appear at age 20 or age 80 — who knows? The important point is to make the best choice for your well-being. Not for a ring, a fantastic wedding or because you're afraid of being alone. Self-alienation is the greatest form of loneliness, and that can strike whether you're married or not. So, while marriage may be the most adult decision you make, it doesn't mean you have to know everything, like fixing a leaky faucet.

Stare at this dot on the wall. This is all that may be needed to help someone quit smoking forever. Hypnosis, or "guided imagery," might be the answer for many people with problems ranging from weight management to headaches to kicking that nicotine habit Stephen Griffith, a practicing hypnotherapist since 1972 and owner of Midwest Hypnosis and Guided Imagery, 3205 Clinton Parkway, has clients with various problems. "I see people come in who want to quit smoking quite often," Griffith said. "I've had a 90 percent success rate, which is better than the patch or the gum." better than Griffith's success rate, not everybody believes in the treatment. James Grobe, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Kansas, often works with smoking cessation. He said hypnosis lacked evidence of long-term success. Hypnosis has been around in one form or another for nearly 2,000 years, and the practice has come a long way since then. Griffeth said. There are anywhere from 100 to 200 induction techniques used to put the client into a hypnotic state, he said. These could be anything from focusing on a dot on the wall to counting backwards. the war to countenance "Under hypnosis, changes are made at the subconscious level instead of the conscious level that we usually exist in," Griffeth said. In this subconscious state, the client, very relaxed, is highly susceptible to suggestion. The hypnotic process begins with a pre-talk, during which the hypnoterapist discusses the ses- sion's goals with the client. The client is then induced into the hypnotic state using one of the induction techniques. The technique depends on the client's needs, Griffeth said. ents needs, orA Once induced, the client is relaxed, and the suggestion begins. begins.

Griffith said. pierre control. Griffith said hypnosis worked on 90 to 95 percent of people who try it. Success depends on how open the client is to the idea. "Sometimes people have such a strong mind-set that they won't let anything in." Griffith said. "It's a control issue a lot of the time." Because of this, people respond to hypnosis in different ways. Researchers measure the hypnotizability of people using the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scales, a series of 12 tests. Scores on the Stanford scale ranges from 0 to 12, based on the number of tests on which the subject is deemed hypnotizable. A score of zero indicates that the subject isn't susceptible to hypnosis. The average score is between five and seven, and 95 percent of the population receives at least a one. population received The American Medical Association approved the use of hypnotherapy in 1958. Now, physicians often refer patients with various ailments to hypnotherapists if they think hypnosis can offer relief, Griffeth said. renter, Griffoh comes in "People with cancer often come in to try and deal with some of the pain associated with chemotherapy and radiation treatment." Griffith said. "Hypnosis works well with pain management." A 1996 study by the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis found that hypnotic suggestions relieved pain in 75 percent of the 933 subjects participating, and in a few of the cases, the degree of relief reported by hypnosis matched or exceeded that of morphine. exceeded that norm. Although hypnosis seems to have some medical benefits, according to the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, "hypnosis cannot and should not stand alone as the sole medical or psychological intervention for any disorder." Raymond Higgins, professor of psychology at the University, said he was skeptical about the long-term benefits of hypnosis. "Certainly there are areas in which hypnosis can be effective," Higgins said. "But the results would most likely only be temporary." most likely only be taken by the cost of a session differs, depending the client's problem. To quit smoking, clients pay $180 for two, 90-minute sessions. For Griffeth, though, it isn't about the money. "It's more of a calling for me," he said. Griffeth lost his mother-in-law and father-in-law to lung cancer, both of whom were heavy smokers for years. ers for years. He said that after they died, he felt he should help others stop smoking. smoking. "I asked myself what I could do to leave society in a better state then I found it in," Griffith said. then found them.

Low demand at home and abroad, coupled with a flood of imports, have slowed production. "We do need some help," said Larry Miller, a spokesman for Kansas City-based Butler Manufacturing, which makes components for nonresidential buildings, "and that starts with policies in Washington and states, reducing the costs of doing business here." Paul Freedenberg, vice president for government relations with the Association for Manufacturing Technology, said he hopes the Bush administration will announce new technology research and will extend or expand incentives for business to build and keep factories in the United States. Despite the upturn in the economy, Freedenberg said, "it's still gonna be a bad year, because we need certainly a lot more. People have to gain confidence in the economy," he added.

"I thrive on activity," she said. "I got six hours sleep last night, and that's the most I've slept in two weeks." The groups competing for Wilhite's time are numerous, but most are related to two issues: women's rights and abortion rights. Wilhite is co-president of the Lawrence chapter of the National Organization of Women, and works with campus abortion rights groups. She is organizing a concert at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. 6th St., to benefit a group that helps women who can't afford abortions. Wilhite said spending her free time organizing and participating in such events was a fulfilling experience. might agree. "At first you feel like you're up against a brick wall," she said. "But once you get out there, you really start to feel like things can change." Wilhite's leadership belies others' first impression of her. She described herself as "the girl who sits in class and never says anything." "Kelli's not scared to talk to people and tell them what she thinks," said Julia Katz, Leawood senior. Her friends, who have seen her in activist action, disputed this description. During last year's Roe v. Wade anniversary demonstration at the state Capitol, Wilhite was nervous addressing the large crowd. She took a detour into a bathroom stall before speaking to the group. group. "I'll never get completely used to speaking in public," she said. "But I know I have to do it, and it's getting easier." getting easier. Nervousness was not the only obstacle Wilhite had to conquer to take her public role. Becoming involved with abortion rights groups meant taking a side on a divisive issue. "There are a lot of people who disagree with my views, and I respect that. But a lot of people don't view it that way," she said. One anti-abortion activist group operates a Web site with "Nuremberg Files" of abortion rights activists. Wilhite checks the site regularly, fearing the addition of her friends. "It's really sick that it's become a part of my life," she said. Wilhite's activism will shift east in spring 2004. She hopes to attend law school in the Washington, D.C., area after receiving degrees in women's studies and political science from the University. v.

Rachel Simon, Chicago sophomore, and her four roommates, all University of Kansas students, had wireless connections installed in their house on Tennessee Street the day after moving in. "When you go to plug in your phone charger, or anything, it's nice not to have wires everywhere." Simon said. George Shaffer, owner and general manager of Lawrence Networks, worked with the students to install their connections. He said the wireless option was especially good for older houses, like many found on Tennessee Street, because they were not wired for high-speed Internet connections. wires in is cost prohibitive," he said. "For an older house, pulling Wireless transmitters can be inserted into any building's Internet source. To connect to the source, each computer on the network needs to be equipped with a wireless Ethernet card. A customer service representative for Sunflower Broadband said that cable or DSL Internet connections worked best for wireless networks because wireless routers could not read the signals from a phone connection. Theoretically, Shaffer said, those outside the building could access the connection as well. He said he used encryption software to prevent any computer outside the network from utilizing the connection. Computers in the network can go anywhere within the connection's range, which Shaffer said would easily cover a residential building. watch Sunday football while I do work on the computer," Shaffer said. "It really gives you flexibility." "I lean sit in the living room and Laptops with wireless connections can also go to locations outside the building. Simon said she liked to connect with her laptop at Watson Library. Sunflower Broadband also offers a service for people who have laptops with wireless connections. Those signed up can access the Internet from more than 20 locations around town, including the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St.; Perkins, 1711 W.23rd St.; and all three Lawrence Athletic Club locations. Location Costs for the service will vary depending on the type of equipment used. Shaffer said both the router and each card would cost about $100. Shaffer said people with some computer skills could set the system up themselves. He said stores that stocked computer accessories would usually carry parts, although he warned Macintosh users that their parts often had to be special ordered.

People say athletes are underrated or do not receive enough recognition for their accomplishments both on and off the playing field. sports commentary Some would say Kansas junior basketball player Keith Langford is an underrated athlete. Langford is under-recognized nationally for what he accomplishes game after game, but it's impossible for a Jayhawk basketball player to be truly underrated. The true face of an underrated athlete in college athletics belongs to Jayhawk superstar soccer player Caroline Smith. There are probably people reading this column right now who don't know who Caroline Smith is, and that's a shame. sports commentary in just her second season at Kansas, Smith is already one goal shy of topping the all-time Kansas scoring list with 17 goals. Daniel Berk dberk@hansan.com In just two games this season, Smith already has four goals, three of which came from a season opening hat trick in a 4-1 victory over Northwestern University. Smith missed five games last year because of a knee injury, and instead of losing focus of her dream and giving up on soccer, Smith realized then she needed soccer just as bad as Kansas soccer needed her. The sophomore from Edina, Minn., decided her season was not over and she was going to try to play on her bad knee. Smith returned from her injury in the first round of the Big 12 Conference Tournament against Nebraska in San Antonio. Her team had lost three games in a row without Smith in the lineup. Smith returned, but didn't start. Before the game, coach Mark Francis said he believed Smith would not be 100 percent, but he thought Smith could help the Jayhawks. Help, she did indeed. With her team trailing by two goals in the second half, Smith netted one to cut the score in half. Kansas tried frantically to come back but eventually lost 2-1. The difference with Smith in the lineup was night and day. When Smith came on the field her team raised its level of play and intensity because Smith did. That is a leader. After that game, Smith was understandably upset and disappointed with how the season ended. But all she wanted to talk about was her teammates and how excited she already was about next year. Well, next year is now and Kansas finds itself in a great position. The Jayhawks are 2-0 and have a healthy Smith. Smith is underrated because few people actually understand how good she is.Not a lot of fans across Lawrence have checked out what Smith can do with a soccer ball. She can do a lot. In her senior year, Smith was a McDonald's/Powerade High School All-American. Now, in just her second season with Kansas, Smith, along with Francis, has rejuvenated a program which has the Kansas soccer team and its faithful thinking about the NCAA Tournament at the end of the season. That is an underrated athlete. Daniel Berk is a St. Louis sophomore in journalism. Chiefs take on versatile former K- State player (U-WIRE) MANHATTAN— Former Kansas State nose tackle Tank Reese has made the Kansas City Chiefs roster after switching from tackle to fullback, and ultimately back to tackle. "I talked to [Chiefs executive] Carl [Peterson], and I said, 'I understand the size restrictions, but he's a nose guard type guy.' They put him back there, that's what their intent was going to be," coach Bill Snyder said. Snyder made a name for himself, and his 5-foot-11, 280-pound bowling-ball frame, by having an engine that Snyder said never quit. That includes fullback, where the Chiefs initially tried him because of size restrictions. Even that wasn't new for Rees, however. Snyder indicated Reese tried fullback during his time at K-State. OSU alum gives $70 million By Bethany Krottinger Daily O'Collegian via u-wire Oklahoma State University STILLWATER, Okla. - A geology school and a geophysics professorship are already named after him. With a $70 million donation made to Oklahoma State this past March, Boone Pickens could have the football stadium named after him, too. "I think Boone Pickens has earned it," said Lou Watkins, Oklahoma Agricultural & Mechanical Board of Regents member. According to an OSU athletics news release, the athletic department will have a news conference regarding athletic facilities. regulating "We might name the stadium after him," Watkins said. "We are not renaming the field." Watkins said the regents might discuss naming the stadium after Pickens in its board meeting Sept. 5. Pickens in its board meeting gested 51 Although Watkins expressed her enthusiasm for the donation to the stadium, she is worried it would overshadow the portion given toward academics. "The figures going to the academic mission of the campus have been overlooked," Watkins said. Pickens gave a $20 million trust to the Lewis Field expansion and $15 million generated from that trust toward a Boone Pickens General University Scholarship fund, according to an earlier OSU athletics news release. Pickens' gift completes fund raising for the Next Level Campaign's Phase One project and also helps complete the south stands for the 2004 football season, according to the news release. In his will, Pickens also gave a $35 million testamentary gift, which OSU's athletic and academic areas will divide, according to the news release. Brent Goodin, regents spokesman, said $15 million of the testamentary gift will go toward academics. "I think it is extremely appropriate to name a stadium after an individual who has made unprecedented contributions to OSU." Goodin said. However, Pickens' $70 million donation was not the first. Since his 1951 graduation, Pickens donated $5 million toward academics, funded the Boone Pickens School of Geology at the Noble Research Center and established the Boone Pickens Scholars Fund in geology, along with other scholarships and university endowments, according to the news release. Competition calls in intramural sports By Paul Gutierrez correspondents@kansan.com Kansan Staff Writer Although overshadowed by the start of football season and the always-popular basketball team, Intramural Sports is one of the most popular programs on campus in terms of numbers- Last year, 260 teams were assembled for basketball alone. Flag football fielded 94 teams. Each year, the number of participants increases as more sports are offered for individuals and teams. "The intramural sports program is a fun alternative to the hyper-competition of varsity sports," said Kelly Hill, program manager. "It develops a person's fitness and lifestyle." In addition to the athletic competition, intramural offers a variety of benefits, Hill said. Talent enhancement, new acquaintances and life-long friendships are all part of the equation in intramural sports, she said. So whether students have been perennial lettermen or perennial losers throughout their athletic careers, there is almost always a roster spot available on an intramurals squad. Even high profile athletes are no strangers to the intramural circuit. David Winbush was a star Jayhawk running back from 1997 to 2000, and frequently dropped in to participate in flag football games and tournaments. And Brett Olson, a reserve forward for the men's basketball team, got his KU hoops career started in the intramurals league before moving up to varsity. Manager's meetings provide the best opportunity to join a team for those interested. Each meeting is the chance to pick up roster forms and rules for that particular sport. A slot on a completed roster is the ticket to instant scheduling, and maybe instant stardom. TEAM SPORTS Soccer manager's meeting will be at 7 p.m. Sunday at the Alderson Auditorium. Meetings for volleyball, floor hockey and basketball will take place in October and November. INDIVIDUALSPORTS Entries for tennis singles will be accepted Monday through Sept. 13 at the temporary Recreation Services office in Burge Union, room 312. Golf entries will be taken Sept. 22 through Sept. 25 in the new Student Recreation and Services Center. Racquetball Singles entries will be accepted Sept. 29 through Oct. 2 in the center.

Today's birthday (sept. 4) Don't stress if you are asked to accept a result that's not quite what you had in mind. You'll soon be more interested in love and less worried about the little things. Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a A. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Your recent advances may have been thwarted, but don't let that knock you off track. A careful and respectful demeanor will work much better than hasty action. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7. Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 4. You don't cave easily under pressure, and most likely won't again. A treat you can afford will be much more fun than the one you can't have. A recent setback may have shaken your confidence, but you won't be down for long. Reevaluate your plans. It's now easier to see what you really need. Today is a 7. Although your schedule is disrupted, you can make the necessary adjustments. Don't argue with the way things are. Adapt. Leo (July 23-Aug.22) Today is a 5. You hate to feel like there's not enough to go around. To avoid that sensation in the future, stash away more now. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today in p5. With Mercury, your ruling planet, still retrograde in your sign, it's a little more difficult to get the story straight. Check and double-check before passing along any news. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 5. It's quite possible that you don't understand the lesson you're being taught. Just because it doesn't make much sense now doesn't mean that it never will. Hang in there. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7. Don't make promises you can't keep. There's an easy way around this: Carefully word your promises so that you can keep them. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 6. Others may not agree with you, but you're making a good impression. Your insistence on revealing the truth will turn out to be profitable. Conditions get more favorable for travel as the day progresses. Tomorrow and the next day will be even better. That should be all the excuse that you need. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a7. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a6. Your list of obligations keeps getting longer. That gives you a good excuse to pass up an invitation to go someplace you really can't afford. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7. Conditions are changing in your favor already, as you knew they would. Try not to get too impatient. Tomorrow will be more fun.

Sports With five goals in the Jayhawk's first two soccer games this season, sophomore Caroline Smith earned Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honors. PAGE 9A P 12A The university Daily Kansan Thursday, September 4, 2003 sports commentary 图 Jason Hwang jhwang@hansan.com Daughter coach share court space A volleyball coach loses the starting setter due to injury. He inserts the backup setter who played sparingly last year. The setter and the team perform well to make it to the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history. It sounds like a decent movie script. Actually, it's the 2003 Kansas volleyball squad. Max Falkenstien sats at his desk in 1971. He has been doing commentary for Kansas athletics for more than half a century. Sophomore Andi Rozum, coming off a fabulous freshman campaign, suffered nagging injuries during the summer to keep her out action, so coach Ray Bechard put in the backup setter Ashley Bechard. Fans, this is not a coincidence: Ashley is coach Bechard's daughter. Before her first start of her career against Western Kentucky, Ashley had only 59 assists in 15 matches over a two year span. Last weekend in the Dekalb, Ill. tournament, Ashley tabulated 115 assists, including a career high 44 in the lose to Northern Illinois. Despite the transition, Ashley said her teammates have supported her unconditionally. "I've played pretty well so far. I rely on my teammates a lot. Right now everyone's getting settled and we've worked pretty well and hope to continue this season," Ashley said. Coach Bechard said hitters must execute to make every set look good, regardless of who plays setter. Ashley has many options to distribute the ball to explosive hitters like All-Big 12 Conference first-teamers Josi Lima and Ashley Michaels, senior Sarah Rome and freshman Janaina Correa. Replacing a setter like Rozum on the court isn't the only obstacle that Ashley must hurdle. The coach said he tried to strictly manage a coach-player relationship on the court. But he and Ashley are human, and when you combine parents and kids on the same playing field, there can be some difficult moments. "It's an interesting balancing act. Even that is hard because I've been as hard on Ashley, if not harder, since she's come here," he said. "But I don't know anybody that's been working any harder at being the best one can be than Ashley, that's all we can ask her at this point." Ashley said that there have been moments where she irritated her father and vice versa. She said she felt sorry for but credited her mother for coming to all the matches and acting as a mediator when needed. needed. Especially at a time where the coach/father and the player/daughter will interact a lot more on the court, it will be important for someone close to them to help them experience a new dimension in their relationship. "As you interact while travelling to road games and other off-court occasions, you get to experience something special," coach said. special, coach, achley and coach Bechard will continue to reach for the goal of going to the NCAA tournament, but they will also see their relationship go through an uncharted but rewarding chapter in their lives. Jason Hwang is an Overland Park senior in communications. Radio voice reminisces by John Domoney Kansan staff writer idomoney.kansan.com Archive Photo After 58 years as a broadcaster for University of Kansas athletics, not even the possibility of retirement makes Max Falkenstein want to trade his seat in the press area for one in the stands. press area for one in a crowd. "In fact I think it would be frustrating for me to hear comments from fans about certain players." Falkenstien said. certain players. Falkenstien leaves the commentary up to himself he and Bob Davis team up on the jayhawk Radio Network to bring every Kansas football and men's basketball game to fans over the radio. The Falkenstien and Davis combo has been on the air since 1984 when Davis joined Falkenstien to play-by-play for the games. On the air is where generations of Jayhawk fans have grown accustomed to hearing Falkenstien's analysis of athletics events. From the 1947 Orange Bowl appearance for Kansas to this spring's Final Four run by the men's basketball team, Falkenstien has been right in the middle of the action. "Bob is a really nice guy." Falkenstien said. "We seem to complement one another, and we have fun on and off the air." After thousands of games, he has always tried to keep an objective view of the game. the game. "I wouldn't say I'm non-partisan," Falkenstien said. "I credit opponents for entertaining plays and good players. If you're too much of a homer it takes away from the quality of the broadcast." on the quality of the shoots. Few Kansas fans doubt the quality of Falkenstien's broadcasting abilities. The veteran announcer has been inducted into a host of hall of fames including the College Football Hall of Fame in 1998 and the University of Kansas Athletics' Hall of Fame in 1995. For his outstanding service to the University, Falkenstien was honored with the Ellsworth Medallion, the highest honor bestowed by the KU Alumni Association. Still, after all of the honors and awards Falkenstien most treasures the relationships he has formed through his profession. sion. "I've enjoyed tremendously my relationships with outstanding athletes and coaches." Falkenstien said. "I've also been on hand for many of KU's greatest sports moments in history." As an announcer for eight Kansas bowl appearances in 57 years, Falkenstien most remembers the Orange Bowl losses in 1948 to Georgia Tech and in 1969 to Penn State. The 1964 victory over Oklahoma at Memorial Stadium also proved memorable after coach Jack Mitchell's Jayhawks scored on the first and last plays of the game to defeat the Sooners. Not only does Falkenstien have a collection of sports memories, he has accumulated his fair share of miles traveling to away games. "I still enjoy doing it," Falkenstien said. "Getting home at three or four in the morning, it sort of wears you down, but after a day of rest and recuperation you're back at it." Besides getting used to the travel, Falkenstein said he strived to prepare for a broadcast by learning a couple of interesting facts about each player in the game "There is so much information made available to you," Falkenstien said. "The media guides have turned into fivepound encyclopedias. The trick is to develop a skill for finding everything you need in a hurry." Although television has become the premiere media outlet in collegiate athletics, Falkenstien said radio had not lost any of its magic. His voice has become commonplace for Kansas fans watching or listening to a Jayhawk athletic event. we just run into tons of people who tell us they turn the sound off on the television to listen to us on the radio," Falkenstien said. Kansas fans are likely receiving some of their final opportunities to cheer on the Jayhawks with Falkenstien's voice on the radio in the background. Falkenstien said he was entertaining the idea of retirement. "I'm thinking about it," Falkenstien said. "I'm not sure when it will happen but it won't be too much longer." Course offers challenge, history Edited by Katie Nelson NIM ROCK FARM By Sean O'Grady sogrady@kansan.com Kansan Staff Writer Rim Rock Farm has been the home of University of Kansas cross country for 30 years. The rolling hills, trails, covered bridges and silhouettes of Kansas running legends have made Rim Rock the Midwestern Mecca of distance running. Bob Timmons, who owns and maintains Rim Rock Farm, points to a specific area. Rim Rock is the host to the annual Rim Rock Invitational for the KU Cross Country event. ring. Chris Lear, author of *Running with the Buffaloes*, a book documenting the 1998 season of the University of Colorado men's cross country team, wrote as the team drove to the course for prenations: "The course looks fabulous, with gigantic 10-foot statues of former Kansas running legends like Olympic 10k champ Billy Mills and former mile great Wes Santee perched around the course. As CU arrived in their van yesterday, the first visible statute they saw was that of Jim Ryun. Seeing the immortalized champions was enough to get them all jacked." Seeing the silhouettes of the former Olympians are enough to get any runner excited to race "The Rock." "It's a place you'll never conquer," DJ. Hilding, Lawrence senior and cross country team member, said. "It can conquer you though." Paige Higgins, Littleton, Colo., senior, said the course was the hardest she had ever run. "I don't find the hills that bad, but the grass is long and the footing is uneven at some points. It's hard to get into a good rhythm," she said. "But the fact that it's our home course prepares us for any course we'll run on." "It keeps our athletes mentally prepared for anything. If they can run that course and not have any problems then they can race anywhere with confidence,"he said."What makes Rim Rock special is the atmosphere." course we run on C. Cross country coach Stanley Redwine said having Rim Rock as his athletes' home course was a definite advantage. special is the atmosphere. The atmosphere has been created by judy. lawcowinwatson. Each year Rim Rock — nine miles northwest of Lawrence, across the bridge — hosts one college meet, a high school invitational and the Kansas high school state cross country meets.

The course will also host the National Junior College Athletic Association Championships in November. Kansas Hall of Fame member and former coach, Bob Timmons. He and his wife, Judy, have owned the course for 50 years and the spectators." "We are constantly trying to improve the course," Timmons said. "We've done a lot over the summer to make the course better for the runners The improvements include transplanted sod from the softball facility Jayhawk Field, which has been used to create better footing alongside a dam of Rim Rock's three ponds.

'Iran it wipers up,' Timmons' biggest obstacle preparing the course this summer has been the lack of rain.

"This is the first year the pond has been dry," he said. While some of the improvements have altered the layout of the courses this year, there are still the perennial landmarks such as Oak Holler Bridge, the Narrows, Jim Ryun Skyline, Billy Mills Ascent and the silhouettes runners have enjoyed for the past 30 years. ners have enjoyed Assistant coach Doug Clark said the silhouettes helped give the feeling of the tradition all around the course. "All those of those guys are world record holders or national champions and all from KU," he said.

Shalor's is located on the ground floor of the historic Eldridge Hotel Jared Soares/Kansan By Amanda Wolfe awolf@kansan.com Jayplay writer Some nights you crave food that's a little more upscale than a hamburger and fries or pizza. Or maybe you're looking for a restaurant to celebrate a special occasion. Does your mouth salivate for fine Italian, seafood or chops? Try these three restaurants, sure to impress your date, and your taste buds. Plump, luscious elk chops, roasted garlic potato encrusted salmon served on a puff pastry and sea bass with grilled vegetable napoleon all await you at Shalor's Restaurant, tucked inside The Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St. Seafood entrees and appetizers like red snapper, swordfish, halibut, salmon, crab cakes, coconut shrimp, scallops and Ahi Tuna grace the menu. If you're not feeling like fish, the filet mignon is a classic dish on Shalor's menu that hasn't changed throughout the years. It's served with garlic whipped potatoes and fresh vegetables. Genarro Moten, executive chef, prides himself on his presentation and quality of the menu items. At Shalor's, not only are the entrees a sight to be hold; the atmosphere and environment are too. Dining there is like walking back through time. The lot where the building now stands was originally home to the Free State Hotel, built in 1855. Proslavery forces burned the hotel to the ground just a year after it opened. Colonel Shalor Eldridge rebuilt the hotel for $80,000 only to have it destroyed again in William Quantrill's raid on Lawrence in 1863. Most of the town was charred and Quantrill's raiders killed 150 unarmed citizens. The Colonel rebuilt the hotel again, and it underwent various changes throughout the 20th century. In the 1980s, Lawrence developer and the hotel's general manager, Rob Phillips took on the renovation project aiming to restore The Eldridge back to its historic significance as a hotel and restaurant. Today the ambiance inside Shalor's is a combination of a sense of history and tranquility while still providing an upscale dining experience. Walking into Pachamama's, 2161 Quail Creek Drive, is like stepping into nature. Large stone columns greet you when you walk in and tall windows overlook the green Alvamar Golf and Country Club, 1809 Crossgate Drive. The earthy decor combines different textures of wood, stone and light for a natural look. Seasonal outdoor seating is available and allows diners to be even closer to nature amongst the trees and foliage. thursday, september 4,2003 jayplay.5 EASY TO FIND for the ultimate upscale dining experience MISHA SMITH Dining Room KitLeffler/Kansan Hilary Boles, Lawrence resident, cuts a beef tenderloin for the evening menu at Pachamama's, 2161 Quail Creek Drive. Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan A view of Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St., dining room from one of the restaurant's balconies Pachamama's new world cuisine reflects this back-to-nature attitude using fresh ingredients, often purchased from local vendors. The menu changes monthly with entrees like pasta, seafood and game, such as duck and quail. The September menu includes appetizers such as the wood-fried goat cheese and serrano ham turnover. Pan seared Dessert is a must-do at Pachamama's, so save room for it. The large dessert menu has something for everyone. It emphasizes the fresh fruits of summer with choices like key lime white chocolate cheese cake or caramelized banana-pecan Alaskan halibut and grilled bourbon cured pork chops are a couple of entrée choices. bread pudding with praline Chantilly cream and a rumchocolate sauce. Sharron Gauna, general manager, says people have a misconception that Pachamama's is a place to eat only for special occasions. "We don't want to be considered a stuffy restaurant," Gauna says. "We're laid back." Pachamama's has nightly seafood, pasta and mixed grill specials as well as wine tasting every Friday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Appetizers are served at the wine tasting. When dining at Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St., just going to the bathroom in the bank vaults is an adventure, even if you haven't eaten yet. The old bank building with its lofty ceilings and three levels of dining areas create an open and energetic atmosphere for hungry customers. Teller's gives you a chic, urban-feeling dining experience without leaving Lawrence. The menu has been retooled but it's still the fine Italian you would expect. It features a variety of dining options no matter how much money is in your wallet. From pizza to salads like the Insalata di Carpaccio - baby greens topped with thinly sliced raw beef, shaved parmesan cheese, lemon, olive oil and capers — Teller's has something for everyone's budget. If you're out for a special evening and want an entrée that's truly fabulous, server Byron Moore recommends the Filetto con Bordelaise, an eight-ounce beef filet. "It has a distinct flavor that you can't find anywhere else," Moore says. The filet is seared in the fire, and served on grilled sun-dried tomato goat cheese polenta with red wind and shallot reduction. Teller's also offers daily pasta, salad and sandwich lunch specials under $6.96 and half price pasta dishes on Monday nights. THE BIG CHILL True. Summer is almost gone, and fall is waiting politely at the doorstep. Funny then, how the sun still sucks the moisture from your body like a parasite on a power trip For your benefit, Jayplay is here to give you a last look at the coolest concoctions our little college town has to offer. THE JUICE STOPS HERE Feeling a bit peckish? If the vim and vigor of your life seems drained away, then Lawrence's prized purveyors of pulped fruit, Juice Stop, 812 Massachusetts St. and 3514 Clinton Parkway, might be an answer. Featuring a variety of fruit and vegetable smoothies and shakes along with a healthy dose powdered vitamin formulas this place is a health nut's dream. They also offer wheat grass and health bars. So, if you're in a rush, and crave your daily dose of vitamin C in a cold fruity cup, then a trip to Juice Stop would be a smoothie move. SYLAS & MADDY'S ABOUT YOU If something sweeter floats your boat, then check out one of Lawrence's mom-and-pop mainstays, Sylas and Maddy's Ice Cream Parlor, 1014 Massachusetts St. They serve more than 40 flavors of homemade ice cream on homemade waffle cones and also offer a range of specialty creations. With pale yellow walls and oldies playing in the background, it's inviting to the entire town. "We're very family oriented but we also cater to the college crowd," say Katy Livingston, attendant and Tulsa, Okla., sophomore. SNOW JOKE. REALLY Remember the old adage, "Never eat yellow snow,"? Well that might go out the window once you visit Tad's Tropical Ice, 939 lowa St. This small shack contains one of the tastiest secrets of Lawrence — a gourmet snow cone "We shave our ice so thin, that it's like new snow," says Makenna Vaughn, attendant and Lawrence freshman. They offer many theme drinks, like the pineapple rich "Mai Tai" or the popular "Summer Breeze." They also have a rainbow of syrups available to top your snow cone of choice. But it's only here until about Halloween, but well worth a try.

By Eric Braem ebraem@kansan.com Jayplay writer Here it comes. Another Friday night; another night on town with your friends; another crazy, hazy weekend filled with strong drinks, strong bass and strong headaches in the morning. But what would happen if you avoided alcohol for a weekend? Would you have no fun? Would you lose your friends? What would happen if you never picked up a rum and coke again? Discord with drinking When a frequent drinker decides to quit for good, the decision can change every aspect of his or her life. Brian Arnold, Chaska, Minn., senior, hasn't picked up an alcoholic drink since July 4. He didn't find himself behind bars or in a strange woman's bed, he simply got liquored up at the bars one too many times and decided to quit. Arnold, who has gone sober a few times in his life, avoids drinking because it simply hinders normal functioning. Imagine a light fog constantly invading your world. Paul Santos, Shawnee senior, doesn't want drinking to become a lifestyle. "I've run across a couple people, you know, and they would say, 'I can have fun if I don't drink,' but they always drink," Santos says, avoiding his temptation to listen to a Creedence Clearwater Revival song. It's not that Santos has never touched a drink, but his liquor experiences make him feel like he's tasted rubbing alcohol. Alcohol appeal Staying sober, even for a night, can be a challenge for someone who finds alcohol to be a great temptation. "The more prevalent the vice is around me, the more intense the temptation" says Arnold, who does not avoid bars Karen Christensen has never found a swig of straight intoxication very alluring. The Topeka freshman says her Mormon religion has kept her away from alcohol, but her friends have generally never been drinkers anyway. She also finds that a big motivation for her sobriety is always being able to remember what she did the night before. or parties. He finds himself developing an immunity to the enticement. Arnold says mimicking his peers by keeping a glass of water or orange juice raises his comfort level. Santos also finds drunken behavior to be a big deterrent. Too often he sees past stupidity become a topic to talk about later. "Remember when you peed on the floor last time? That was great, man," he jokes. He says he prefers sober conversations about sober topics. Peer pressure Santos, who used to attend college parties, now stays away from them except for on rare occasions. He says finding someone who doesn't drink on the weekend is nearly impossible and playing sober cab gets old real fast. Usually he reads books or watches films on the weekends, but occasionally attends parties because as a film student he needs to explore people's interactions. Santos says his desire to stay away from alcohol has alienated him from his friends because he didn't think they could change. Ty Stude, Learned junior, is not afraid to touch alcohol, but has never liked the taste of it, rarely feels the pressures of late-night drinking. The presence of alcohol irritated Stude when he was a freshman, but being the sober chauffer no longer perturbs him. Alcohol-free alternatives Being sober for a weekend or a lifetime doesn't have to mean finding yourself sitting in a corner at a party and thinking everyone around you must be having a better time than you are. It doesn't require you to be a designated driver for your friends. It doesn't suggest that you'll be going to bed at 10 p.m. on a Friday night or that you'll be alone or you'll have nothing to do. You'll need a little creativity, but you and your friends could realize that skipping the bars doesn't make you immature. Laura Johnson, Kalispell, Mont., senior, was a part of "Friday Night Frenzy" through last school year and the summer. Every Friday, the residents of four apartments and any other invited guests would gather at alternating dwellings and the host would cook dinner for the party. The "frenzies" could end as early as 10 p.m. and as late as 1 a.m. and frequently involve games, movies, bowling or trips to University of Kansas basketball games. Johnson says with a good idea, even someone who thursday, september 4, 2003 jayplay.7 JACK DANIEL'S Tennessee Whiskey DAJANE ALTERNATIVES Photo illustration by Eric Braem/Kansan When attempting sobriety while at a party or bar, imitate those around you by keeping a non-alcoholic drink in your hands to ease any awkwardness. turning down the fun drinks every night of every weekend won't be afraid to be sober. Stude understands that most people are at least semi-regular drinkers during their college careers at the University, so he says it makes sense to learn to deal with it. However, he finds other non-alcohol-related activities to keep him busy anyway. This summer, Stude took tango lessons and sing-danced in Kansas City. Dance clubs of this nature are open to all ages and generally do not serve alcohol. He finds himself making "stupid" movies at night and jamming on his guitar with his more musical friends instead of hitting up the bars. Stude also suggests getting involved with Campus Ministries if you're looking for something to do, and extra-curricular activities such as acting help you meet people with different interests. Arnold acknowledges that the choice of activities is limited at night, so he says it's important to be creative and suggest ideas to your friends if you want companionship in your sobriety. He suggests more passive activities that aren't associated with drinking like plays or movies, where you are merely a member of an audience. In addition, physical activities like parking lot soccer or playing around at Clinton Lake are not only fun, but the exercise benefits your overall attitude. Group together Lawrence is not a ghost town if you stray from Massachusetts St. at night. In my experience as a consistent drinker, I've found if you want to be sober, even just for a weekend, it's important to be proactive and think up group activities. If you and your friends are used to expelling a lot of energy while taking in those semi-bitter but stimulating beverages we college students get so much exposure to, try something equally vigorous just once, if only to remember what it feels like to be sober at night. 99 RED BALLOONS GO BY By Kim Elsham kelsham@kansan.com Jayplay writer You may have begun to see red. Perhaps you saw it pinned to the walls of buildings on campus. Perhaps a friendly face handed it to you on the street. You aren't experiencing a feverish hallucination, but rather the upcoming community art event, The Red Balloon To Do on Sept.27. To promote the event members of the Lawrence Art Collective, other friends and volunteers will car pool to Kansas City tomorrow to initiate the First Fridays Red Balloon Attack, an organized tour of downtown galleries. The tours will take place the first Friday of every month from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.Each gallery allows viewers to enter for free, providing drinks and hors d'oeuvres depending on the venue.Sounds like a great idea, right? Peter Berard, Overland Park senior, and Dominic Sova. Lawrence resident, members of the Lawrence Art Collective and others, found a way to make The Red Balloon To Do happen in Lawrence. They realized Lawrence doesn't really have independent venues for local artists and students to showcase their work. With the success of the events they had organized at the former Pink House, they knew there was a potential for success with the opening of the Olive Art and Supply, 15 E. Eighth St., and The Grimshaw Gallery, 731 New Hampshire St. They want to make other media known to Lawrence and surrounding communities. Tomorrow night's First Fridays Red Balloon Attack is one of the many great efforts made to promote the event. They organized what they call a "flash mob" to attend Kansas City's First Fridays with red balloons tied to their wrists and flyers in hand. On Sept. 27, hopeful attendees can donate $1 to receive a red balloon at The Grimshaw Gallery which will allow them to enter four additional local venues: Olive Art and Supply and three other yet to be announced venues. Local artists will showcase their varying media from poetry and painting to photography and performance art. Berard says the biggest inspiration for the Red Balloon To Do comes from seeing the great talent that comes from the amount of hard work put forth by local artists. "We thought, we need to promote these artists," says Berard. "It's a high level of quality that no one else really knows." Mark your calendars for the 27th and check back to Jayplay for a more in-depth look on the inspiration for, and what to expect from, the Red Balloon To Do.

What is the purpose of the salt in this image? By Tabatha Beerbower tbeerbower@kansan.com Jayplay writer Kristina Garcia, 26 year-old Lawrence resident, started making her own face creams, lotions and body powder after she began to notice the ingredients in store-bought products. "Basically, I stopped and looked on the back of things and couldn't believe that I was even thinking about putting that on my face," Garcia says. Garcia became conscious about natural products after her sister-in-law sent her an organic, homemade bath kit from California. "I got a kick out of it and started buying books," Garica says. Garcia has been hooked ever since, she makes her own organic products for herself and tries them out on friends and family members. She shares a few recipes from Janice Cox's book, Natural Beauty at Home, with Jayplay, along with some simple pieces of advice. Garcia experiments with recipes found in books, mixing and matching ingredients. But she advises those just starting out to follow recipes exactly, as well as a few basic rules."If you are allergic to something when you eat it, chances are you will be allergic on your skin," Garcia says. She recommends trying out any product you make on the inside of your elbow first to test the reaction of your skin. Garcia also recommends buying organic products from organic food stores, such as The Community Mercantile Co-Op, 901 Iowa St."You want to make sure the fruit you put on your face is organic. You can buy fruit from regular grocery stores, but you may have to worry about pesticides," Garcia recommends. Before you snub your nose at trying to make your own products, give it a try and compare and contrast to store-bought products. You could be getting better products at better prices, or you could just discover a great hobby and pretty cool gift ideas. "What most people don't realize is that their grandmothers didn't use these products because they didn't have it," Garcia says. "They used their own remedies because they'd been proven sure."

Eric Braem/Kansan By Andrew Ward and Kim Elsham award@kansan.com and kelsham@kansan.com Jayplay writers AdrenaLAN Gaming Center, 833 Ohio St., Suite B, is Lawrence's newest computer and console gaming center. It opened for business June I and has established a good reputation among local high-schoolage computer gamers. AdrenaLAN is the brainchild of Tim Newman, Lawrence graduate student; Doug Herbers, Lawrence graduate student and Steve Pennington, Seneca graduate student. Herbers said the three gaming fans recognized the local interest in gaming and the potential for a successful gaming center in Lawrence. The group scouted gaming centers in Olathe and Columbia, Mo., and noticed that most venues were comic book retailers first, gaming centers second. In Columbia, the gaming center is near the University of Missouri campus. Newman, Herbers and Pennington noticed its success and decided a similar center in Lawrence could prosper as well. The group drew up a 15-page business plan, secured financial backing from friends, family and a bank, and opened AdrenaLAN. a bank, and opened. AdrenaLAN is the only gaming center in Lawrence. The Battlezone, at Clinton Parkway and Wakarusa Street, sold comics and card games but had a small gaming area in the back of the store, but it went out of business. Andy Lowder, Lawrence High School senior, says The Battlezone was disorganized and the customers were different than AdrenaLAN's. "We're high-tech, we take showers," Lowder says. Upon entering, four 57-inch high-definition televisions stare back at you. Imagine your rich friend's basement. The sets are high-dollar items and proof that the guys at AdrenaLAN aren't fooling around. A black leather couch graces each television. Four Xboxes, one for each television, accommodate four players each. The Xboxes are networked so that 16 players can compete in multiplayer games such as Halo. A lone PlayStation 2 is also available. AdrenaLAN offers more than just gaming consoles, twelve networked computers give gamers the chance to play popular games, such as Half-Life, Battlefield 1942 and Unreal Tournament 2003. AdrenaLAN also installed Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat and Desert Combat, three of the most popular modifications available.Modifications, or mods, are additions to computer games that change the way the original game plays.The gaming community creates most mods, although the mod Team Fortress Classic for Half-Life, was released by the original game developer, Valve. AdrenaLAN has ambiance astonishing for a place filled with computers and electronics. The main room is dimly lit with torchieres, the upside-down lamps that sometimes grace hipster bars, and blue light emanates from the two computers sitting against the north wall. The south and east walls are dark blue with a horizontal gray stripe running the length of each wall. Trading Spaces afficionados would do well to check it out before tackling a home theater. The patrons of AdrenaLAN aren't the stereotypical computer freaks. Lowder, a frequent AdrenaLAN patron, says people from a variety of social groups come to AdrenaLAN. "Tons of people play these games, not just the hard-core gamers," Lowder says. "You can come in here and see-preps, skaters, punks — anybody." Lowder says his friends told him about AdrenaLAN and now they go about three times a week to play, or simply hang out. AdrenaLAN hosts monthly LAN parties to attract new customers and provide a fun gaming atmosphere. Newman says as many as 45 people have set up in the BYOC, bring your own computer, room and the competition gets hot. "A lot of people will play for the entire weekend and just crash in the hallways. It's almost a little community." Newman says. thursday,september 4.2003 jayplay.11 BEGIN gaming experience. White PC Tech of Garden City outfits AdrenaLAN with their computers. The computer were custom-built for an optimal online gaming experience. Eric Braem/Kansan In anticipation of these parties, AdrenaLAN provides plenty of high-sugar and highly-caffeinated drinks, such as Red Bull and Bawls, to help people survive the long nights of intense game playing. There's also a huge stockpile of candy and chips to keep the energy flowing. Aside from the sense of community, AdrenaLAN offers gamers the opportunity to play on a decent system without dropping a ton of cash. AdrenaLAN charges $4.50 an hour for nonmembers to play, or $20 for an all-day pass. It also sells memberships. Members receive discounts on hourly rates and all-day passes. On Mondays, Members play for $2.50 an hour and eat pizza for free. These prices are a bargain for gamers who would otherwise have to pay between $1,500 to $2,500 for a high-end computer gaming system. REVIEW: THE FIRST TIMER Are you not familiar with gaming but thinking of giving it a try? I would suggest it for anyone who has always been interested in games, but hasn't had the money to buy the equipment themselves. I've always enjoyed video games. I especially like to watch my friends play. I loved playing computer games such as Myst, Riven and Doom. It was always something I would do on a whim. It never became an obsession, but it was something fun and different to do If you're into first-person shooter games, you can play 007 or Counter-Strike. Looking for a taste of your youth? Perhaps you desire something simpler such as Duck Hunt or Super Mario Brothers. The familiar techy blip soundtracks will surely give you a sense of nostalgia. AdrenaLAN has everything: adventure games, sports games, fighting games and old-school Nintendo games everything to suit your gaming needs. Kim Elisham AdrenaLAN's atmosphere is completely laid back and friendly. The prices are cheap and it's a great way to have some brain stimulating fun. And consider this winter, too - when it's too cold to go anywhere, AdrenaLAN will keep those HDTV screens and computers warm for those bitter nights. I want my MP3s Why haven't portable MP3 players caught on? Maybe I just missed the boat. Or maybe other students, like me, think they are too expensive, that the iPod was the only model or maybe they are just not quite sure what they are. It seems easy enough. A cable connects from your PC to the player. Then just click and drag your music onto the player's icon and the songs are saved in the player. Now you can take your music anywhere. It saves a lot of bulk. You don't have to carry your CD wallet around campus. The players are also lightweight and small. They won't take up anymore room in your backpack than your cell phone. There are two kinds of players. One has its own hard drive that stores information and one uses a flash memory card.The difference is the amount of information that can be stored. The iPod is a player that has a hard drive and can store 10 to 30 gigabytes of information depending on the model. That is about 2,500 to 7,500 songs. It is easy to use, too. The scroll menu operates very much like a normal computer so you can categorize your music by title, artist or genre. This model can also store other information besides MP3 files. At Best Buy, 2020 W31st St., the iPod sells for $300 to $500. "My best friend has a 30 GB one and he actually backed up a portion of his hard drive on his Ipod," says George Coleman, an electronics department full-timer at Best Buy. Coleman cautions that Apple does not recommend doing this. Those with flash memory store less for less money. Most brands offer models that hold 64 to 256 megabytes, which is about two to eight hours of music. They are compact, lightweight models that are mostly designed for athletic use. Best Buy sells a number of brands for about $100 to $200. If that is still too rich for your blood, you can also go with an MP3 CD player. It looks like a CD player but reads compressed files off of a recordable CD. You can fit 10 or more hours of music on them. Most models cost $80 to $150. These portable jukeboxes save you a lot of time and hassle. Now you can carry the majority of your CD collection with you when you workout or go to school. The sleek or sporty design of most players make it an ideal accessory for any student. Coleman suggests checking for a few key features before buying a MP3 player. The first is battery life. A model with a long battery life will hold more music. Second, make sure the player has skip protection. Last, make sure the software is compatible with your computer. All of this information should be located on the outside of the packaging. The selection is there. You just have to find one in your price range that meets your needs. Coleman recommends the Rio Sport, a portable player that has upgradeable memory for about $100. LEGAL DOWNLOADS It might not be just the expense holding people back from buying a MP3 player. Over the summer, music companies threatened to start prosecuting people for sharing files and started with the worst offenders. Fear not, there are many sites that charge you for their music if you want to download legally. www.mp3grandcentral.net Unlimited downloads are available for $23.99 for a two year subscription, $18.99 for a one year subscription, or $4.50 monthly. They boast that you will find any song that you are looking for with no pop-up ads. www.mp3.com Unlimited downloads and access to full albums is offered for 12 months at $9.99 per month or 3 months at $14.99 per month. www.apple.com/itunes/ All of the songs in their extensive selection are $.99. They allow you to preview before you buy and are supported by major record labels. The downside is that you need a Mac to use it. 12 jayplay. thursday, september 4, 2003 Some of us are setting foot onto the campus for the first time, others are preparing for their last glorious year in Lawrence. Here are some suggestions for things to do before you graduate. And if you're a senior, this list comes to you with enough time to check a few items off. THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOU GRADUATE story by amanda wolfe. illustrations by lindsey riechers thursday. september 4, 2003 jayplay.13 MAKE OUT IN THE STACKS AT WATSON LIBRARY Who says books aren't sexy? The dark, quiet and easy to hide in stacks at Watson Library are your best chance at hooking up on campus without getting caught. The key is to stay quiet because you are in a library, and alert so you can slide around the corner easily if someone is browsing for a book nearby. Simply studying can be so boring. PUT SOME MONEY AWAY It's never too early to start saving for the future. And if you get a crappy job out of school — or worse, no job — then you'll have a little cushion to fall back on so you won't have to move back in with Mom and Dad. At least not right away. But if you're not comfortable stuffing your cash in your mattress or sock drawer, it couldn't hurt to meet with a-certified financial planner like Tana Ahlen, manager of Morgan Stanley, 1201 Wakarusa Dr. Ahlen says saving depends on the individual. Whether you are a college student or have been working for 20 or 30 years, everybody's financial needs are different. "A general rule for anyone is to have 20 months of living expenses in liquid form," Ahlen said. "Checking, savings, money market accounts or a certificate of deposit are all steps along the way you can take. Any kind of savings people do is important." EAT AT BURRITO KING Your best bet with The Burrito King, 900 Illinois St., is to eat there late. After a night of boozing and dancing you'll be so hungry it won't matter what you eat, and hopefully it will stay down. But later, much later, you will look back on that night with pride and realize that you followed in the steps of so many KU students before you having indulged yourself at The Burrito King. SKIP CLASS AT 2:30 P.M. TO DRINK BEER AT THE CROSSING The Crossing, 618 W. 12th St., is a great spot for people watching, to enjoy warm afternoons and, of course, to drink beer. This Lawrence institution is the place to be in the afternoons. And how can you not want to stop for a beer after seeing the crowded outdoor seating area? Bonus: It's close to campus so, if you must, you can drink a few then he aed back to class. GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS PEACE Do this especially if you live in a residence hall, but it doesn't matter what kind of dwelling you inhabit. Getting to know your neighbors may prevent noise problems and you may make some life-long friends. But in some cases, beware: There is always the possibility for problematic neighbors, no matter how neighborly you act towards them. So if they become too loud, call the non-emergency police number, 843-0250. KEEP A HOUSE PLANT ALIVE This is important to do because it shows that even though your parents aren't around, you can take care of things. And if you can't, it's just a plant so if it dies you probably won't care that much. A plant is a good place to start and if you can successfully keep it alive, it's probably safe to move onto a fish. This will prepare you for important life skills before graduation. My mom, gardener extraordinaire, recommends an aloe vera plant because, as she told me when she handed my first aloe, it's very hard to kill. I've kept mine alive for almost three years and it's grown so large my roommates affectionately call it Seymour. M n't c grou in MARCH IN A PROTEST OR PEACE RALLY "Honking for Hemp" on Massachusetts Street doesn't count. There's always some group marching or protesting in Lawrence, so it should be fairly easy to find a cause you can support for your first rally. The protest and "I would like to attend a taping of the Price is Right and visit the Jelly Belly jelly bean factory. In fact, that Is my plan for Spring Break." STEPHANIE WILKINSON WICHITA SENIOR peace rally, once chic in the 60s and 70s, has come full circle with the U.S. troops occupying Iraq, terrorism and well, marijuana. LEARN TO PLAY TENNIS It seems like everyone plays basketball or goes running these days, but for exercise that's truly fun try tennis. It's easy to learn after a couple of lessons from Lawrence Parks and Recreation. Lawrence truly is lucky with the abundance of lighted courts so you can avoid the heat by playing at night. SEND OUT RESUMES This is something you know already but worth repeating. At least try to find a job so you can avoid moving back home. And if you don't send out any resumes it will be difficult to find a job and employers will rarely come looking for you. So let them know you're out there and think big. You may score your dream job. Maybe. RIDE THE NIGHT CAMPUS EXPRESS If you're into people watching or meeting new people, this is a must do. You never really know what type of people you'll see on the night buses, so look at it as diversifying your knowledge of your fellow KU students. It's an adventure, too. If you hop on and just ride without looking at the route map you won't know where you're going to end up. You will get to see parts of Lawrence you never would have seen. 14 jayplay thursday, September 4. 2003 GO SLEDDING One of the largest hills in the area, the hill by the Campanile is sure to allow you an exhilarating sledding experience. And it's a University tradition. If you can't make it over to the Campanile, the hill behind Ellsworth will do. And if you don't borrow a tray from Mrs.E's, your laundry basket, believe it or not, will work.

GRAB A SLICE OF PIZZA AT THE WHEEL SET FOOT IN EVERY UNIVERSITY BUILDING If you're not quite ready for The Burrito King, stop by The Wheel, 507 W. 14t St., after last call to observe the boisterous atmosphere. And the pizza makes it worth it, too. Grab a warm, gooey slice of cheese with ranch dressing or honey. This is probably one of the few places in Lawrence your parents may have To have a rich KU experience you must be familiar with the geography of the campus. Over a course pus. Over a course of four years, or more for some of us, you will most likely have classes in a variety of buildings, but not all of them. Take an afternoon to explore Smith Hall or Snow Hall and know that expanding your knowledge of the University will make your college experience that much better. GET PUBLISHED IN THE FREE FOR ALL Perhaps the first thing you flip to in your Kansan everyday, the Free for All is an excellent distraction during a boring class. And for those of you who have called in and actually were published, it's even more stimulating to open the paper on a dull morning and see your words in print. So call in, let the words roll out of your mouth and say what you want. Bitch about your stinky roommate, a fascist professor or other annoying people on campus. If the mood strikes you, you can say some thing positive, too. he kes u y MAKE A MEAL THAT REQUIRES A RECIPE This goes along with the whole living-on-your-own thing. Cooking can actually be fun and costs less than eating out all the time. And you have the freedom to make whatever you are in the mood for.

GO TO THE LAWRENCE FARMERS' MARKET For fresh, locally grown goods such as veggies, fruits and flowers, stop by the Lawrence Farm- on Saturdays in on Saturdays in August. If you can't get out of bed, then go on Tuesdays and Thursdays through October, from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Pick out some ingredients for your homemade dinner. EAT ALL THREE MEALS IN A DAY AT MRS. E'S Cafeteria food gets a bad wrap, but KU students on Daisy Hill are truly blessed. Mrs. E's is a dorm diner's dream. All-you-can-eat and whatever you want from pasta to pizza, from meatloaf to veggie burgers. And don't forget dessert. Choices range from frozen yogurt to the best-the Tollhouse cookie pie. Make an effort to eat three meals in one day at Mrs. E's at least once to ers, stop by the Lawrences' Market. The state's oldest and largest farmers' market at 10th Street and Vermont Street is open until October. For the best selection go early, around 6:30 a.m., 8:30 a.m., PAY ALL YOUR PARKING TICKETS You may have been thinking you can leave the University with outstanding parking tickets, and nobody will know. Wrong. Do you can get away without paying your tickets? Rita Jordan, supervisor for the KU Parking Department says your transcript will be held until you pay your tickets This makes it difficult to find a job after graduation since some employers will want to see your transcript, so pay up. CHALK THE SIDEWALKS PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER You aren't a true college student until you've had an "oh crap" moment at 11 p.m. the night before a paper or project is due. So you down a couple of Red Bulls and work furiously through the night so you can pull out a decent grade. It's all part of the college experience. A KU tradition usually reserved for bars advertising their weekly specials, but more often used by clubs and organizations wishing to get the word out. If you've never chalked before, pick your favorite person and advertise their birthday. If you're into a public display of affection, perhaps you can chalk a wedding proposal for all to see on Wescoe Beach. SEE ALL ATHLETIC TEAMS AT LEAST ONCE This may seem challenging, but there is time to get this 2 thursday. september 4, 2003 jayplay.15 done, even if you are graduating in May. Chances are you've already seen the basketball and football teams in action. There are only 12 different sports teams at the University and they play at different times of the year. Scott Meyer, media relations assistant in the KU Athletic Department says every sport has its traditions and histories. "Athletics is an important part of student life. Student athletes carry on the tradition at the University. If you are a student, immerse yourself in the tradition and go see the teams in action," Meyer says. PROCRASTINATE Procrastinating is especially easy to do when living in the residence halls because there is always something going on. Your neighbors down the hall are making a run to Sheridan's Frozen Custard, 2030 W. 23rd St., just as you settle down to study or do homework. Ah, but the frozen custard is tempting — so go! Your books will still be there when you get back. GO TO A HOUSE PARTY The house party scene has died out a little bit due to the Alcoholic Beverage Control officers and stricter liquor laws, but it is a scene that the University has a reputation for. There's always an interesting crowd, great music and people getting together all in the name of having a good time. GET IN THE CHI OMEGA FOUNTAIN The tradition says you are supposed to be thrown in the fountain on your birthday, so if your birthday falls in the warmer months when the fountain is on, look out. It's a lot more fun to throw someone else in, especially if they don't suspect it. "Streak through a sorority. Drink for 24 hours straight. Oh wait, I already did that." -KIT BRAUER DENVER SENIOR FINISH THE KANSAN CROSSWORD Who needs tests, papers and homework to test their knowledge? If finish the crossword and then you'll know that you truly are smart, and that Mom and Dad's money for a higher education was well spent. If you've never done the crossword before, don't expect to finish it during one class. It takes practice to understand the clues, so stick with it. FALL ASLEEP DURING CLASS During a particular class I remember watching the guy across from me fall asleep with his elbow propped on his desk and with his forehead in his hand. He fell into such a deep sleep that his arm relaxed, causing his forehead to come crashing down onto the desktop. The resulting noise was a loud, hollow thud which disrupted the lecture and caused everyone to turn and look at him. If you feel sleepiness overcoming you please nap cautiously, but definitely don't fight the urge. VISIT EVERY BAR ON MASS. STREET IN ONE NIGHT It is a daunting, yet fun task considering there are 16 bars, give or take, on Massachusetts Street, so pace yourself. Probably the scene for the best nightlife in Lawrence, Mass. Street is also home to a variety of bars, whatever your preference. Want to hear live music? Hit the Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Mass. St., or The Replay Lounge, 946 Mass. St. Want a night of pool? Head to Louise's Bar Downtown, 1009 Mass. St. Want to casually rub elbows with the basketball team? Go to It's Brothers, 1105 Mass. St. LIVE IT UP IN LAS VEGAS A popular vacation spot for KU students over Fall Break, Las Vegas is the place to party, see numerous shows, and if you are of age, gamble. SLEEP THROUGH A DAY OF CLASSES The greatest thing about college is you aren't forced to go to class. Some classes have built-in absences you can use. If the class is a large lecture, chances are attendance isn't even taken. Take advantage of this, because once you have a real job, it won't be as easy to ditch. 922 Massachusetts St., and 1447 W.23rd St., after hitting the bars, be sure you are actually home before you order it because their delivery is truly fast. Chances are the delivery person will beat you to your own apartment. GO SOMEWHERE UNEXPECTED For example, if you typically go to The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., or Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. 6th St., try The Replay Lunge, 946 Massachusetts St., or The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., or vice versa. Diversify your going-out experiences. Not only will you surround yourself with a totally different crowd, but you may find that you like the variety. LEARN THE WORDS TO THE ALMA MATER, THE CRIMSON AND THE BLUE This is a must-do if you are ever going to consider yourself a loyal KU alum. Four plus years should give you enough time to learn it. Here's a hint: "Far above the golden valley..." ORDER JIMMY JOHN'S SANDWICHES AT 2 A.M.

A distinguished, salt and pepper-haired man with a firm, wrinkle-free 20-something woman. They seem a little too intimate to be father and daughter. It's an age-old question. Large age differences between couples are all the rage. Hollywood couple Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher boast a 15-year age gap, while Angelina Jolie and equally odd ex Billy Bob Thornton bore a two decade difference. But before you go fulfilling your own hot-for-teacher fantasy, there are a few things to keep in mind. From legality to lack of common interests, widening the age gap typically leads to problems. Playing "how low can you go" will get you in serious trouble. Kansas law says sexual intercourse with anyone younger than 16 is illegal. Even if you're clear of the law, don't let that stop you from considering why dating someone much younger or older is appealing. Relationship expert and author of The Q&A Dating Book Sherry Amatenstein says, "Differences get lessened as you get older but if you're dating someone much younger, they don't have as much life experience." Level of experience can also enter the bedroom. Amatenstein says sexually active partners might notice a difference in performance with an older or younger flame. "Generally women mature later sexually than men but younger guys don't know what they're doing," she says. "Guys are looking out for their own satisfaction whereas older men tend to be more sensitive, better lovers." Dennis Dailey, University of Kansas human sexuality professor, says while age differences can affect sexual satisfaction in relationships, it's not a given that they will. He says older partners may have more experience than younger, which could result in insecurity and jealousy by the younger half. On the flip side, the more experienced partner can help make the situation positive by serving as a teacher. If you're a woman considering an older man as an option, don't cast aside your boy toy alternative yet. According to healthandage.com, boys reach their sexual peak at about age 18, which is something to consider compared to the many men age 40 and older who begin to experience impotence. Or perhaps you're a sexually active man with an older woman in mind. You should know that a recently published survey reported that women's top sexual problem was lack of interest. The study entitled Sexual Dysfunction in the United States also showed that about one-third of women ages 40 to 60 experienced sexual difficulties. Problems occurred less in younger women surveyed. Note that interest in sex does depend a bit on the availability of a partner - a particular issue Healthandage.com reports the sexual problems in women at all ages are far more often psychological than physical. While you may be satisfied in the sack, out of it could pose problems. Dailey says it's important for couples with large age gaps to understand they're coming from different perspectives. "Differences are always in relationships but the real issue is how couples cope with difference. If they expect to be coming from the same place, they are in deep trouble." A college freshman focused on exploring freedom when paired with a senior searching for a job isn't exactly a recipe for success. With such different goals in mind, plans for a weekend date seem a lot less fun and a bit more complicated. Keep in mind from the start that your partner isn't in the same place as you, feeling a balance is the key. Try trading off activities that you each enjoy while still making time for your common interests. Focusing on your commonities will help diminish your opposing desires. Make sure your tally sheet isn't always at your fingertips. Instead, focus on how happy your honey bun is when you participate in something he or she loves. This doesn't mean your idea of fun should always take a backseat and don't let it. Do, however, realize that compromise does mean giving a little. As if spending half of your together time doing stuff you have no interest in isn't enough, you also have those pesky friends begging for your better half's time. Though your age indifferent partner may be great for you there is no guarantee that his or her friends will be as well m- Lindsey Riechers/Kansan adjusted. So don't be surprised if you don't hit it right off with your guy or gal's best buds. Think about new ways the two of you can spend your free time. Attempt something that you've both never done before such as volunteering or joining a co-ed sports league. By experiencing the learning curve together and meeting new people, you're sure to find out quickly if the relationship is going to work. Amatenstein says for many college students a first love takes on over-importance and emotion. "You're so young and act like you'll never be in love again but remember life won't be over if it doesn't work out." She says learning who you are is important to knowing what you want in a partner. Awareness of what makes you tick will help you better communicate that to your mate. thursday, September 4, 2003 jayplay.17 Nothing but a number By Megan Hickerson mhickerson@kansan.com Jayplay writer When a woman approached Jeff Hagman in a Denver bar last summer, he was quick to notice her blonde hair and blue eyes. He wasn't immediately aware that she was 10 years his senior. "She was playing darts when I met her," the Denver senior says. "She was noticeably mature, but I had no idea that she was 10 years older than me." Hagman didn't have a problem with the age difference. He asked her out to lunch, and soon the two began dating. After a few dates, Hagman was introduced to the woman's two children. "It wasn't weird when I met the boys," Hagman says. "She had told them about us, and they were prepared to meet me. The older one liked me right away, but it took a few minutes for the younger boy to warm up to me." As the relationship progressed, Hagman told his parents, who have a fivemonth age difference, about his new love interest. His father was a bit more close-minded about the relationship. "My dad told me that she was looking for someone to marry and settle down with," Hagman says. Although the conversations between the two were intellectually challenging, and the sex was great, the relationship came to an end when Hagman returned to the University of Kansas last fall. "The sex was good but not in the sense that I love this girl and I want to marry her," Hagman says. The film The Graduate was released in 1967. Dustin Hoffman played Ben, a 20 year-old returning home after graduation to find himself seduced by the middleaged wife of his father's business partner. A year later, the Simon and Garfunkel song, "Mrs. Robinson," raised a few eyebrows. The song deals with younger men who lust after older, more-established women. In other instances it isn't age-difference that proves to be problematic, but a couple's lifestyle changes. Mike Walker, senior, has been dating Beth Mowery for a year and a half. Mowery graduated from KU last year, and is working for a medical-device sales company in Chicago. "When I took her out for out first date," Walker says, "I could tell that she didn't want a damn thing to do with me because she was graduating and moving on with her life, and I was staying here in Lawrence." But now Mowery and Walker see each other about once a month. She agrees that it isn't the age difference, but the difference in lifestyles that adds pressure to their relationship. then relationship. "I am at a completely different point in my life right now," Mowery says. Whether a difference of one year or 15, making a relationship work means making changes. Tale of the ages By Becky Rogers brogers@kansan.com Jayplay writer It begins like any good love affair, boy meets girl. Except that the girl is 22,and the boy is 38. Lindsay Rhodus, Bonner Springs graduate student, first met Wes Gedney at the gym he owns while she was learning cheer stunts. Neither thought much about the age difference separating them as they began dating. Sure, there were the occasional jokes from their friends — "You get the nudging from the guys, like 'Ooh, I wish I could be you' and the girls are always like 'Oh my gosh, she's so young,'" Gedney says. The only person who put up a protest was Rhodus' mother. "She just didn't know why a guy his age wanted to date a girl that was 17 years younger than him," Rhodus says. "She wanted to know why he hadn't been married and all that kind of good stuff." Eventually she got used to the idea. At the start of their relationship, the age difference caused a few problems. Rhodus was 19 and still wanted to date around. Gedney had already been in the dating scene and was ready to be in a steady relationship. Now, they barely even think about it. Rhodus says it's easier for them than most because Gedney looks young for his age. People can't spot the difference. "That was hard for him," Rhodus says. "We broke up and got back together just because I wasn't ready to settle down. I wanted to sow my oats." "It's kind of like dating a regular guy," Rhodus says. "He's just a lot older and more mature than most of the other guys that I have dated that are my age." Gedney adds with a grin, "I think she's very mature for her age, and I'm very immature for mine." Don’t be square. Check out Jayplay on Thursdays, daddy-o.

Belly dancing is turning into a new fitness craze among some students. By Lauren Karp lkarp@kansan.com Jayplay writer Imagination, liberation and self-expression exuded from the pores of the dancers on Thursday night at Aladdin's Café, 1021 Massachusetts St. Passion was in every turn and movement. Pride spread across the faces of the dancers as the crowd watched in awe. For some, this is their first glance into the world and art form known as belly dancing. Move over Shakira, here come the girls of the University of Kansas and they've discovered how to move their hips just as well if not better. Whether it's the hips or the belly you want to shake, belly dancing has it all. It looks good, and it pays off in the end with health benefits and confidence. Delilah, a Lawrence performer and instructor has released her own series of videos called the Visionary Dance Production Video Series, based out of Seattle. Delilah says there are more than 100 techniques demonstrated in these videos, which will last you forever and you can turn them on at any time. "It's easier when learning to belly dance to refer to something moving rather than written. Belly dancing is a very left-brained activity, it's more artistic, not right-brained," she says. Delilah says belly dancing first became popular just after the Vietnam War when the birth control pill was introduced and women were freer and worldlier. Now it's making a comeback. Delilah says belly dancing is an escape or a fantasy for the female form to engage in. "The movement of belly dancing itself is a combination of different techniques, which uses muscles you normally wouldn't use." Trinae Joler, Lawrence senior says. "There are so many different muscles in the belly alone. It acts as a completely different exercise when compared to something like jazz dance."Joler takes classes at the Lawrence Recreation Center and is involved in a troop of about five girls who perform. The troop is called Raghhsidad, which is Persian for "they dance." Zada Al Gaziyeh, teaches belly dancing classes at the Center. She is the choreographer for Raghsidad, which performs in Kansas City at the Renaissance Festival and once a month on intermediate classes consist of KU students, but we also have students from the Lawrence area who are teachers, doctors or even work in retail," Gaziyeh says. "Fifty percent of our beginning and Joler has been belly dancing for about four and a half years Joler got into belly dancing after her mother suggested it to her and has been hooked ever since. "I decided belly dancing was fun enough to continue and odd enough to stay cool," she says. and says, "Belly dancing gives me confidence and is the only art form I take part in, and when I have to perform it requires me to stretch my mind." Alex Stout, Wichita senior and belly dancer says one of the All of the sudden your left hip can talk and your head has something to say. style from Stout. "I was a ballet dancer for 12 years. The key to balancing in ballet is to keep the abdominal core firm and lifted.I liked the idea of letting loose and learning to use the portion of my body that was essentially ignored in ballet," she says. Joler sees a lot of American women taking up belly dancing and expressing other cultures through dancing. DELILAH. LAWRENCE PERFORMER AND INSTRUCTOR She says belly dancing is making its way into pop culture and biggest misconceptions is that belly dancing is only an erotic or seductive form of dance. "The interpretation can celebrate life or show the happiness and even sadness of the piece," she says. sainth of the piece, she says Kelly Hawkins, Overland Park senior, learned about the dance appealing to the masses, especially young women who are attracted to it as an art form. As for men getting involved in the dance, she says Stout feels belly dancing is a legitimate form of dancing, which expresses its own culture. For Stout, belly dancing is a family tradition. "Two of my aunts also dance, and I grew up watching she thinks they're a little bit shy about it. them perform for my family," she says. "When I was about 19, I decided that I'd like to try it for myself." Stout warns it's possible to strain the back and various muscles, but with proper stretching, it is less likely. Belly dancing can actually ease the pain or stiffness in joints, since it's fairly low-impact. Hawkins recommends other KU students take belly dancing; she's taken classes for two years now and says it's a beautiful way to move and it's fun. She says the demand on the body is completely different. "I supplement belly dancing with other exercise. But it helps with muscle control and coordination." she says. "You have to train your body to do several different things at once." Hawkins feels as a form of physical fitness it should be combined with other means of exercise. Gaziyeh says belly dancing's origins date back to the late 1700s and early 1800s from the European travels to North Africa. She says it was their misconception that the Africans danced with their bellies, which gave birth to belly dancing. Gaziyeh says in her classes she includes yoga stretches, though she most closely relates the form of exercise to pilates, which focuses on specific muscle groups at one time. give birth to beny damning. Gaziyeh says the dance is very mental, you can't rely on your unconscious at first. "It's like bending to pick up a box, you have to think about the right way to do it until it comes naturally." Gaziyeh has no dress code in her classes.she does stress the importance of safety and posture. She says she's learned to see through baggy clothes to make sure students are using their muscles correctly. Delilah says belly dancing is a symbolic expression of each part of your body.

Here are five simple ways to keep your abdominal workout on track and dispel some common myths. 1) Cardio Priority First of all, let's get something perfectly clear no amount of crunches will get rid of the excess fat that seems to accumulate at our waistlines. Regular cardiovascular exercise, on the other hand, will do the trick. If you are carrying extra body fat your abs will not show, no matter how many crunches you do. 2) Eat Smart Michelob Ultra will not rid you of your pooch, nor will Heineken give you one. Excess calories, no matter the form, will cause weight gain, and lead to a higher body fat percentage. If you don't have time for more cardio in your workout, slowly start to decrease your portion sizes and consume more fruits, vegetables, complex carbohydrates, lean protein and dairy sources to your meals. 3) Use Proper Form You've seen her. The girl who whips out 200 crunches so fast her ponytail never touches the floor. Or the guy who has a 40-pound plate on his chest, his back humped over, painfully attempting incline sit-ups. Don't envy their dedication They are wasting precious workout time. Form is an important aspect of exercising. Ask yourself these questions: Is my spine in alignment? Am I breathing correctly? Are my movements slow and controlled? Do I feel my abs contracting or are my hip flexors compensating? Is my back or neck staining? Learn the proper technique before beginning any exercise and reap the results. 4) Posture Many people are on a mission to achieve "fab" abs. Unfortunately, it's not physiologically possible for everyone. Our abdominals are actually designed to take a rounded shape. But with proper posture you can avoid the less than attractive "pot belly" look. Wherever, whenever, try contracting your abdominals, slightly tilting your pelvis so your tailbone is pointing down, lifting your rib cage, rolling your shoulders up and back with your ears directly over them. 5) Get on the Ball A study at Springfield College in Massachusetts found that athletes who did abdominal and lower-back exercises on an stability ball had significantly stronger midsections and better overall balance than participants who did crunches and back extensions on the floor. Don't neglect incorporating a few simple back exercises on the ball to achieve balance. You wouldn't think of doing biceps and never working your triceps.

PRESENTED BY STUDIO 68940 A SPECTACULAR FILM BY THE CINEMATOGRAPHER WILLIAM J. BURKE A SPECTACULAR FILM BY THE CINEMATOGRAPHER WILLIAM J. BURKE Jonathan Breck, as the Creeper, is hungry for more teenage flesh,and a box office success, in Jeepers Creepers 2. JEEPERS CREEPERS 2 R, 106 minutes. South Wind 12 "Beware, beware, beaware the big green dragon that sits on your doorstep. He eats little boys, puppy-dog tails and big fat snails. Beware, take care, beware." You can imagine filmmaker Victor Salva drawing inspiration from this speech, which Bela Lugosi so memorably delivered in Glen or Glenda, made by a writer-director crowned Hollywood's worst in history, Ed Wood. A monster bearing the likeness of a dragon plays the bogeyman role of Salva's Jeepers Creepers and its new sequel. But the inspiration is two-fold, for Salva shares some of Wood's Jeepers Creepers 2 opens in a red-orange cornfield, where a boy busies himself hanging up macabre-looking scarecrows. Then one of the scarecrows comes to life. It's the Creeper, the voraciously hungry, winged demon that terrorized Darry and Trish Jenner in the original film. Soon, the Creeper and the boy float off into the horizon, leaving the child's farmer father, Taggart (Ray Wise), obsessed with revenge. Cut to a day later, when a busload of high school kids journey home after a basketball game. The Creeper swoops down upon the bus, blowing out a tire with spectacularly bad taste, though more as a writer than a director. what looks like a Chinese star made out of horns. As night falls, the demon quickly dispatches the adults — Salva has never had much use for them in his films — and begins picking off the kids, who contact Taggart through a radio message. Will Taggart save the day? Does anyone give a damn if he does? The sequel is burdened too many characters to stop, so he settles on development one of them. The dialogue is fully functional, almost filler in between the horror scenes. On the bus, a cheerleader discusses how one of the basketball players only likes to have sex after the team loses. Later, a guy's sexuality is said to be in question. And that's about all the movie gives us to figure out who these kids are. They're basically walking edibles, and so we can't help cheering on their demise, which kills any chances of genuine fright. Not only are these kids one-dimensional, they seem to be from another dimension. None of the girls on the bus brought a cell phone, while the guys enjoy peeing in groups with their pants down around their ankles. All of this is about as likely as students at the University of Kansas banning sandals for the year. Salva has a lush visual style, and, in a B-movie sort of way, it's great to see Wise, the murderous father from David Lynch's Twin Peaks series, play the avenging angel. But we learn nothing new about the Creeper itself here. He might not be the first, but Salva forgets that sequels need ideas of their own. —Stephen Shupe Grade: C- DICKIE ROBERTS: FORMER CHILD STAR PG-13, 99 minutes, South Wind 12 Dickie Roberts is an aged 70s child-star desperately looking for work. When it comes to playing the part of his dreams in a movie, the producer tells him he lacks the right stuff because of his unrealized normal childhood. Determined to win the-part, Dickie hires a family to try and help him relive his childhood and give him the experiences he never had. The trailer looks surprisingly funny. With some early buzz and former child-stars, such as Corey Feldman, showing up to join in, the movie has a shred of a chance to have success. The cast also includes Alyssa Milano and Jon Lovitz. Lindsey Ramsey Not reviewed DIRTY PRETTY THINGS R.107 minutes. Liberty Hall The dark mystery'Dirty Pretty Things tells the story of Okwe (Chiwetel Ejifor), a stoic illegal immigrant, who seems too smart to be doubling as a cab driver and hotel clerk. Okwe leads a simple life in London with a Turkish refugee, Senay(Audrey Tatou Amelie). He works his jobs and turns a blind eye to the dirty things that happen in his hotel. One evening he pulls a human heart out of a toilet, and Okwe must face an insidious plot that exploits illegal immigrants like him. The warm companionship Okwe and Senay find in each other makes for the perfect contrast to the harsh lives they lead and an experience that is not to be missed by the audience. be missed by the audience Director Stephen Frears (Dangerous Liaisons) leads this great cast through a Roman Polanski-esque mystery that not only unravels truths about the underworld of London, but truths about the lives of the characters, Senay and Okwe. Cal Creek Grade: A- THE ORDER R.102 minutes, South Wind 12 Hollywood once again tries to recreate The Exorcist's spellbinding mix of the occult and Catholicism in The Order, starring Heath Ledger and written and directed by Brian Helgeland. Ledger plays Father Alex Bernier, an outcast priest who investigates a series of bizarre murders that implicate a centuries-old, secret order within the church. The film slips into the supernatural as Bernier confronts The Sin Eater, an immortal god on earth who can absolve sins. Also starring Shannyn Sossamon, the film reunites much of the cast and crew from 2001's A Knight's Tale — not exactly the best omen. But even at its worst — see Stigmata — this genre serves up compelling, moody cinema at its most explicit. —Stephen Shupe Not Reviewed THE HOURS PG-13, 114 minutes, SUA Three women, all connected, all desperate to find peace, but unable to do so. This is the story of Stephen Daldry's The Hours. Based on Michael Cunningham's novel, the film's struggle for love and happiness is the focus of three different stories about three similar women. We meet the first, Virginia Woolf (Oscar winner Nicole Kidman), as she begins to write her famous novel Mrs. Dalloway. In Mrs. Dalloway, a woman projects a strong face to the world but is miserable on the inside. This sentiment is shared by all three women. Laura Brown (Julianne Moore) is a 1950s house wife reading Mrs. Dalloway and Clarissa Vaughn (Meryl Streep) is a modern day Dalloway preparing to throw a party for her ex-lover (Ed Harris). Kidman is the star but all three women are outstanding. The film does lag in some parts but redeems itself at the film's conclusion when two characters meet. The Hours is a haunting and riveting portrayal of three women who in their pursuit of happiness only find madness and despair. Lindsey Ramsey Grade: B thursday.

MUNICIPALIDAD DE CERCAYA DE LAS CIUDADES DE MAYORAL DE SAN JOSE DEL CERCAYA (CHILE) thursday. september 4. 2003 DVD REVIEWS BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE R. 119 minutes.DVD Michael Moore's compulsively watchable shock-show examines the culture of fear that continues to make America the planet's most violent developed nation. Critics often sidestepped this film's toughest issues: Yes, we trained Osama Bin Laden to blow people up, and yes, Columbine killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold lived in a town that manufactures parts for nuclear weapons. C C The Oscar-winning result is a pungent hall of mirrors for the entertainment industry. Everyone from Dick Clark to Charlton Heston sits stunned in the face of Moore's relentless pointing finger. The DVD's extras are superb and take up an entire second disc. The best extra features Moore at a screening in Denver three months after the film's release. He offers some powerful insight into why three hours passed before police entered Columbine High School on that fateful spring morning in 1999. —Stephen Shupe Movie Grade: A DVD Grade: A CHICAGO PG-13, 1:3 minutes, DVD Catherine Zeta-Jones took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for playing Velma Kelly in Chicago. Best Picture-winner Chicago finally dances its way onto DVD with extras that appear to do the film justice but don't even come close to the DVD of Chicago predecessor Moulin Rouge. This film is still a masterpiece of tap dancing, gun wielding and musical numbers that can actually be described as candy for the eyes and ears. Chicago's cast includes Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Richard Gere. The performances are better on the DVD because you can see every detail of their fancy footwork. The extras of the DVD, however, are lacking where they should be astonishing. Commentary by director Rob Marshall and screenwriter Bill Condon is enlightening enough but where we wanted to see inside Marshall's head we just skim the surface. There is also a behind the scene "featurette" that shows great rehearsal footage of the stars training and proves that everything you see is what you get. Finally, the deleted musical number "Class" rounds out the special features but really was better left alone. Chicago is still worthy of adding to the DVD collection but the special features just don't live up to the hype.

Should they wait for the Special Edition DVD in November, which will include deleted scenes, commentary, behind the scenes documentaries and much more? They should not purchase the standard DVD for its special features, which includes behind the scenes "featurettes", trailers and a preview of the The Return of the King. Though this two-disc set boasts quite a few extras, none of them are spectacular and many of the "behind the scenes" are half-hour commercials. The features also recycle material from one short to the next, so if viewers watch two or three shorts, they've seen all the material on the disc.

This season's 24 episodes include classics such as "Stark Raving Dad" — the one with The third season of The Simpsons is now available on DVD for $44.98. Michael Jackson and "Homer at Bat"—the one with the baseball players. The special features on the four-disc set are pretty interesting but nothing spectacular. They include several mediocre Butterfinger commercials and scene-specific sketches that show a small part of the animation process. There's also commentary by directors, animators and actors on every episode. The commentary is quite informative, revealing part of the magic that happens at the Simpsons offices. The best special feature is not listed with the others. It's the complete absence of commercials. Each scene fades out and into the next, uninterrupted. This makes for an easy viewing experience that will help fans concentrate on one of the best written shows in TV history. Cal Creek Show Grade: A DVD Grade: B RAISING VICTOR VARGAS R. 88 minutes,DVD Raising Victor Vargas is a quietly groundbreaking independent film filled with real people who have real emotions and go through the real rhythms of teenage life. The title character is a teen from New York's Lower East Side who is in love with the neighborhood's most unattainable girl, Judy. Their romance is only a backdrop in Peter Sollett's ambitious film debut, which paints a vignette of colorful characters including Victor's bickering Dominican family, as well as Judy and Victor's best friends, who sweetly fall in love in the film's best scenes. Sollett shot the film on a low budget, which unfortunately meant scant funding for the DVD and zero special features. Film students should pick it up anyway. Sollett, a New York University graduate, has a lot to teach them about what you can get out of a small amount of money, a handheld camera and a profoundly compassionate screenplay. This is one of the year's best films. —Stephen Shupe Movie Grade: A DVD Grade: C- EZ-D REVIEW If you're tired of paying late fees or renting scratched DVDs that freeze or skip to scenes you've already watched, check out the new EZ-D. This DVD look-alike self-destructs 48 hours after you remove it from its packaging, after which it can be recycled. This way you don't have to worry about returning it you can just recycle it. The EZ-D copy of Tom Tykwer's 2002 release, Heaven, I rented played just fine through the 48 hours and even worked two hours longer. But after that the disc self-destructed and the DVD player couldn't read it.

Max Riley was one of the students anticipating an ample supply of Bob Marley posters. "His music is such an inspiration to people, it can change problems in the world," Riley said while waiting in a long line behind the music section. "Plus, it's great to smoke weed to." The students chatted about the heat, meal plans and tuition increases while nervously eyeballing the enormous stacks of flipping posters. Suddenly someone at the head of the line announced that every single poster bearing the image of the "One Love" songwriter had been sold. Students became outraged, yelling things like, "Why isn't there enough for everyone?" and "This is fascism. This is fascism!" The students then rushed the tables and set fire to the remaining Animal House and Grateful Dead Bear posters. A poster sale employee claimed that although Bob Marley posters are one of the five most popular, they had never faced such a shortage before. photo by Spencer Roberts, additional reporting by Terry Plive Dozens of Keebler Elves swim in a sea of green suit-charring flames during a fudge fire yesterday afternoon. The students regained sanity when news came that there was an unopened case of Hall and Oates posters available for purchase. Kevin Ohalloran —Sam Amburgey COUNTER SUIT PENDING IN FILE-SHARING CASE A counter-suit against University officials has been filed by a student accused of file-sharing last month in a University of Kansas residence hall. Lindsay McPhearson, Olathe freshman and McCollum resident, reported a file-sharing incident that violated university housing rules and international copyright laws. Six canisters of nerve gas went unused by ResNet in the assault. "I don't know if Lindsay is just dull or what, but all I did was put some school supplies in her filing cabinet because my side of the room didn't come with one," said Brittany Lawless, the accused student and McPhearson's roommate. University officials and the ResNet Elite Counter-Piracy Team were mobilized to the McCollum dorm room. In the siege that followed, Brittany was found sharing nearly two whole file drawers full of unnamed items. The University was not allowed to view the files because of a national privacy act, but informed Brittany that they must be removed within 24 hours and a follow-up email be mailed confirming their deletion. If uncooperative, Brittany could face restricted Internet access from her dorm and a $150,000 fine. "This sort of pun is something you'd expect from a poorly written sitcom or a Tongue in Beak news brief," Lawless said. By Jody Reed beak@kansan.com Kansan satire writer A fudge fire yesterday at the Keebler Tree Fudge Factory sparked outrage in dozens of Elves concerned about unsafe working conditions and unfair labor contracts. nions and union labor contracts. Although no elves melted, the fire increased tension already high from months of contract disputes. Elves seeking higher wages, better diversity amongst employees and paid overtime have threatened to leave the Hollow Tree Society permanently if their demands are not met. "Cap'n Crunch, Tony the Tiger, and Wendell and the rest of the Cinnamon Toast Crunch guys get full dental and two weeks paid vacation," said Ernert Keebler, head baker and spokeself. "Just because we're not part of this complete breakfast we can't get our kid's braces covered? I don't think so. Elves have needs, too." The 15 Elves employed at the plant have already received support from local Teamsters. The Elves say they will not return to the Hollow Tree Factory until they are granted incremental pay raises for tenured bakers, child care programs, and minority recruitment. "I'm the only black elf in here," said Zack Keebler, a Fudge Shoppe foreman. "I really feel that our lack of diversity is hurting our urban marketing. There are all sorts of diminutive black people out there who haven't worked in years: Gary Coleman, Lil' Penny, and that kid who played Webster. We should hire them as spokeselves." Also, the lack of a child care program has caused four of the elf children to be left unsupervised while their parents work. Head accountant Flo Keebler complained that her son Zoot spent a lot of time swimming in the dangerous Fudge River with his friends. "A lot of people watch TV and think we have it all nice, like Lothlorien or something," Flo said. "Unfortunately, that is not the case." PERSPECTIVE I'm going through a difficult time in my life COMMENTARY Bb Blackboard Blackboard opinion@kansan.com No matter what classes you are taking this semester, chances are your teachers have asked you if Blackboard is working. If you've even bothered to check in the first place, your reply has most likely been, "Blackboard is down." Well let me tell you, folks, Blackboard is down. I'm down in the dumps, and I'm not getting any better. For the past several years, I have operated as a so-called "learning system." which means I essentially serve as an online file cabinet for the University of Kansas' faculty and students. Lately I've been a bit out of touch. I stay in bed all day, and when I do get up, I hardly so much as open my big black curtains to the world. To tell you the truth, I hardly know who I am anymore. Everybody wants me to be something different. Confidante. Teaching assistant. Oracle of academic wisdom. And with something like 600 majors, it's hard to know who to be. How would you like it if every time anyone told you a secret, you were compelled to share it with hundreds of students at a time? How would you feel if every professor you worked with frequently poked you with a pointer icon? Well personally, all of that Courseware business is really starting to wear on me. Sometimes I get up in the middle of the night to think things over in peace and quiet, but as soon as I decide to step out of my blackout a dozen people leap out of the dark and massage me uncomfortably with mouse icons. To make matters worse, every time I look inside to find out who I really am all I find is a bunch of Commms 130 group assignments and psychology practice exams. Well frankly, I've grown downright blackbored with it all. You probably never knew I was so sassy, or even sentient. You've probably always expected me to sit there and giggle while you clicked at my tummy. Well who do you think I am, the Pillsbury Dough Boy? My name is Blackboard. Do not confuse me with that fleshy aibino. You see, I got to thinking over the summer. I rented a VHS of "Blackbeard's Ghost" and felt a surprising kinship to the pirate of a similar name. I rode my bike to Mexico. And as my boldness and drinking problem grew, I realized that I really don't care who is in your Ethics discussion group or what you got on your Geology quiz. It's been fun helping you study, but I've got to spend some time thinking about me for a change. Right now the University has hired a technical support team to "resolve" my issues, but this time I'm going to tell them I'm through with that kind of treatment. And if you knock on my door for 15 minutes, I might still answer it now and then. But in the words of Tom Petty, "You don't know how it feels. You don't know how it feels. You don't know how it feels. To be me."

Fraternity members vacated the property at the end of last school year. According to the lawsuit filed in Douglas County District Court, the building needed about $850,000 in mechanical repairs and mold removal "It became infeasible to live there," said Bruce Wanamaker, Overland Park resident and treasurer of the corporation that oversees the house. sorority was unwilling to sell. The leasing agreement included a purchasing option available three years after the lease began. Lambda Chi members now live The Legends, 4101 W.24th Place, in the same apartment complex. Egan Waggoner, Beloit senior and Lambda Chi member, said living off campus could be a hassle, but the fraternity had not been severely affected.Lambda Chi began renting the house from the Tennessee-based sorority Alpha Omicron Pi in 2000. The sorority is no longer active at the University of Kansas. Wanamaker said the fraternity wanted to buy the house in 2000, but the The option requires both parties to have the house appraised to determine a sale price. While Lambda Chi had the house appraised, the national sorority has yet to hire an appraiser, which is delaying the possibility of a sale, said Chris Burger, Lambda Chi Alpha's attorney. said. Burger said if the sorority did not sell the house for the fraternity's appraisal value or bring in its own appraiser as required in the lease, the suit may go to court. Lincoln City lpdm "Our first issue and main priority is completing the sale of the property," he said. "It depends on whether A-O-Pi steps up on this sale issue," he said. "If not, we will have to step in." The suit also alleged Alpha Omicron Pi did not maintain the property. According to the lease, the sorority was responsible for maintaining exterior walls, roof and building codes, and structural flooring. Wanamaker said it was not financially feasible to fix all the house's problems. He said the fraternity hoped to demolish the house and build a new one in its place. house and abroad.

The Austrian-born conductor arrived in Kansas the first day of classes and began rehearsals this week.

He conducts without a baton and with sweeping gestures, sometimes holding an imaginary violin to show the strings up front what he wants. songs with him. "Shhh!" he says to the strings, urging them to play softer with an outstretched hand. After fixing more difficult parts of Richard Wagner's overture to Die Meistersinger, the musicians make improvements. Uljanov, a native of Austria, was named the symphony orchestra's conductor May 21, taking over for Timothy Hankewich. The procedure for getting his visa delayed his arrival until the first day of classes on Aug. 21. The three-month process was long but standard, said Misty Grosko, administrative assistant to the department of music and dance. "Everyone wants to play, and to play better," Uljanow said later. "The second time, the orchestra played better." Uljanov will begin his job without his wife and son with him. They are still in Austria because his wife works for a non-profit organization for higher education in Salzburg. Uljanov expects them to be here next year. Now he is getting used to his first conducting job in the United States after spending his time in Europe. spending in the city. "Some things are new for me, but I find that I have some time to adjust here without any problems," he said. Uljanov came from a musical family, where his father played both violin and trumpet.

He said for many people conducting was like an iceberg. People see the conductor at concerts and they only see that top level. But they don't see the deeper side — formal training, rehearsals, music selection — that goes into the final product. "The most important thing I learned at the conservatory is that the conductor is one of the most misunderstood jobs." Uljanov said. "Not everybody understands what conducting is." Uljanov has international experience as a guest conductor with such ensembles as the Munich Radio Symphony Orchestra in Germany, the Iceland Symphony Orchestra and the Innsbruck Symphony Orchestra in Austria. He is also an accomplished opera conductor with Mozart's Marriage of Figaro and Bizet's Carmen among his credits. ing, he said. John Paul Johnson, director of choral activities, was a member of the committee to select Uljanov. He said applications came around the world from Europe to Asia. But above all others who applied for the position, Johnson and the committee members were drawn to Uljanov's skills at the podium. While he would focus on his orchestra at the University, he would continue to keep his schedule of guest conducting. he said. "The first thing that stood out about Nick was how expressive he was with the orchestra," Johnson said. Conja Summerlin, a French horn player pursuing her masters in musicology, had similar first impressions. "He seems to know what he's talking about," she said. "He has a more choral, lyrical beat pattern to his conducting." ducting. Uljanov was impressed that the University had dance and music grouped in the same department.

"The people everywhere on the streets and in the stores are always very friendly," he said. Uljanov said that when he did have more time, he wanted to find the nearest ski slopes, because he enjoyed downhill sking while he was growing up. For now, Uljanov is helping to reach the orchestra's own mountain-tops. "My expectation is to reach the level that we can say we are ready to play outside the Kansas area," Uljanov said. "After the first year we will say, 'OK, for us, the Kansas area is too small.' I hope we can reach it." -Edited by Dave Nobles Calendar to feature University women By Johanna M.

Walker is charged in Boone County, Ind., with felony identity deception and misdemeanor false reporting. Authorities say Walker claimed to be Shannon Marie Sherrill, who disappeared 17 years ago while playing hide-and-seek near her mother's home in Thorntown.

"It's nothing personal against any of you, but I don't want to see you here in six or seven years trying to fulfill graduation requirements,"Durham said.

Parading Jayhawks find new nests By Amanda Kim Stairrett astairrett@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Edited by Erin Riffey The parade is ending soon, but some of the Jayhawks will be finding a new perch. new person On Sept. 1, United Way of Douglas County listed the "Chip Off the Old Hawk" jayhawk on eBay. The five-foot, 900-pound sculpture is on display with its sponsor, Coldwell Banker/McGrew Real Estate, 1501 Kasold Drive. "It'll go in my garden," he said. "I would much rather prefer a Jayhawk in my backyard than a Powercat." Ren Newcomer, Topeka resident and second-generation Jaya-hawk, would like to own the artwork. His daughter pledged $4,500 on his behalf, but was quickly outbid. The mosaic bird is part of "Jayhawks on Parade," a series of fiberglass Jayhawks decorated by local artists. It was designed by Susie Lawler and Pat Poelk and is embedded with tidbits of Kansas history, including stamps and statuettes of Jayhawks. Colleen Gregorie, campaign and communications manager for United Way, said the Jahawk was listed on eBay because of visibility and convenience. ibility and con- "Why reinvent the wheel?" she asked.

Gregorie hoped it would sell for quite a bit more. She said Lawler and Poelk created a teddy bear for a similar campaign in Kansas City, Mo. Their bear sold for approximately $9,000. That number encouraged Gregorie. The auction ends at 4 p.m. on "It would be the envy of the neighborhood as lawn art," she said. Sept. 10. It can be accessed through www.ebay.com or www.unitedwaydgco.org/jay-hawkaction. Thirty giant Jayhawks can be spotted across Lawrence. The parade officially ends at the end of this football season. Many of the sculptures will remain in their current place while others will be sold, with profits going to charities. with profs going to college. "Puttin' On the Glitz," originally located at Allen Fieldhouse, was recently moved to the Fun Zone at Memorial Stadium. Jay Hinrichs, director of the Williams Fund said the shiny, reflective Jayhawk would be sold to a Williams Fund member. The price tag would be $4,500, the amount Williams Fund officials paid to sponsor the statue. The proceeds will go back into the fund. "Classic Jayhawk," one of the most popular "Hawks, is in front of the Kansas Union. After football season, the unadulterated Jayhawk will move to the Burge Union. Its permanent nest will be at the base of the building's central staircase. The future of the Jayhawk in front of Hilltop Child Development Center has not been determined. "Lions and Tigers and Hawks, Oh My!" paid tribute to characters from The Wizard of Oz. Pat Pisani, executive director of Hilltop program, said the silver Jayhawk would probably remain at 1605 Irving Hill Road. at 1805 it being part of the center," she said.

The board, which runs the Kansas and Burge Unions, will finalize management decisions about the station from the school of journalism. The school has been looking for another campus entity to take over the station for a few years instead of closing the station. A change of management makes sense for both the station and the school. Officials in the school of journalism thought the school should not financially support an operation that does not directly benefit its students. While KIHK has regularly scheduled news programs, much of the station's content is not based in journalism. in journalism. KJHK is not known for news coverage. Instead, it has gained a local reputation for playing music that is hard to find on other area radio stations. Also, jobs are scarce in the declining field of radio news and sports, and the school does not offer a degree in radio journalism. And while the journalism school's curriculum stresses "convergence," the ability of journalists to work in many different types of media, most courses focus on newspaper or television work. Bymoving under the jurisdiction of the Memorial Corporation and falling under a system dedicated to serving all of the students of the University, KJHK will be able to find an audience based on students' needs. The Kansas and Burge Unions are better suited for meeting the needs of students, already directing such programs as Student Union Activities and the Organizations and Leadership Development Center, the home to many campus groups. running the station. A KJHK that's separate from the school of journalism means less intrusion for the station and more compatibility for the school. With the move will come a change in the station's administration and advisement. Previously, the station's adviser was a journalism faculty member, dividing time between running the station and teaching classes. As a part of the Unions, KJHK will benefit from having a new adviser who can dedicate more time to running the station.

That's the kind of spirit that will help get us where we want to be a football team! We also want you to know that your fellow students on the team are working very hard to reward your support with winning football. We have no doubt that WITH YOUR HELP our efforts will pay off soon.

"The new owner inherits responsibility for cleanup." —EPA Lawyer Bob Perlis SINBON ©2003 THE DAILY KANSAN SEAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES Act to end state death penalty Zach Stinson for The University Daily Kansen When the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the death penalty in 111 cases Tuesday, it again brought the debate over the death penalty to the forefront of the national consciousness. COMMENTARY COMMENTARY Here in Kansas, questions about the fairness and application, let alone the morality, of the death penalty have been raised since the Legislature reinstated the punishment in 1994. With new national attention focused on the death penalty, let's examine a few of the multiple reasons to abolish the death penalty in Kansas. First, the risk of the death penalty varies in different parts of the state. In Sedgwick County, five cases have ended in the death sentence. In Wyandotte County, there were twice as many capital cases as in Sedgwick, but none resulted in the death penalty. Is the life of someone in Sedgwick worth more than a life in Wyandotte? Why are murders treated differently in different counties? Travis Weller opinion@kansan.com different in her states, the pressure Second, as in other states, the pressure for conviction can lead to prosecutorial misconduct. The Kansas Supreme Court pointed this out in a death penalty decision in 2001. The decision read, "We note that the instances of prosecutorial misconduct were numerous." The decision goes on to state that there was significant pressure placed on the prosecution to secure the death penalty. Could politics influence the treatment of capital cases in Kansas? Could political pressure deny a defendant his or her rights? Are there other instances of gross prosecutorial misconduct in other death penalty cases? Finally, the death penalty is expensive. Most people think that the death penalty is expensive because of the number of appeals given to defendants. They then say that the number of appeals should be lowered. However, saving money by denying people the right to adequate defense is not the answer. In fact, death penalty cases cost more because more motions are filed, more experts are called, juries are more closely examined and trials last longer. All of these are necessary costs if we decide that the state has the right to kill someone. Abolishing the death penalty would avoid these costs. because we still have time to act. The time for action is now. death penalty was. In Kansas, we are luckier than people in most states. Yes, Kansas has the death penalty, but the state has yet to execute a person. It has not been for lack trying. Seven Kansas men have been sentenced to death since the state re-established the death penalty in 1994. We are lucky In fact, the Kansas Supreme Court will hear a mandatory appeal of Kansas' second death penalty case Monday. The appeal and arguments are open to the public. I suggest that you go to Topeka on Monday afternoon and hear the arguments for yourself. Capital punishment in Kansas is facing new scrutiny. During the summer, the state appointed three committees to study aspects' of the death penalty. Also, a bill has been introduced in the state legislature calling for a moratorium on the penalty. Concerned students should contact their state representative and senator and tell them to support the bill. There are many reasons to end the death penalty in Kansas. There is its arbitrary nature, the possibility for misconduct by the prosecuting attorney and its high cost. All of these are good reasons to end the death penalty, but at its heart, the argument against capital punishment is simple: Taking a life is not the answer to any crime. Killing is horrible and senseless. There is no reason we should allow our government to kill, and certainly not with our permission and our money. and our money. The time has come to end vengeful violence; we should start with state-sponsored executions. Weller is a Garden City senior in sociology.

We would be so lucky to be involved with such a colorful experience in politics. ] COMMENTARY ence in pots. Out in California, they call this machine a Republican, but in reality he is the ultimate hybrid of two super powers. the ultimate hybrid of two systems. Conventional Democratic weapons cannot stop him. He's pro-choice. He favors certain forms of gun control. Last year, he led a campaign in California that called for about $500 million in state spending on after-school programs. His positions on such issues make even the strongest Republicans pull over to the side of the road, get out of their SUV, and gasp for air. ben McCarthy opinion@kansan.com up for all. At the same time, these Republicans can't help but feel the need to pledge their support for this socialist-loving machine of a man. Like Luke Skywalker, Republicans can still see the "good" in Darth Schwarzenegger. For one, this machine they call "Arnold" says that he loves immigrants. He loves them in such a unique way that in 1994 he supported California's immigrant-bashing Proposition 187. An Arnold may truly be a "New Republican," as advertised. Let's hope the Republicans can continue to find other immigrants who are willing to do the dirty work for them. the dirty work for them. We have seen a predecessor to this monstrosity of a political machine. They called it "Clinton." It was an older, slower, chubbier model than Arnold. Clinton, a T-800 Republi-crat, paved the way for the political machines of ideological fusion to tiptoe on both sides of the fence as they make their way into power. By day, the Clinton machine was a free-wheeling socialist, endorsing wonderful and wasteful programs such as midnight basketball leagues. By night, he was big businesses' best buddy, deregulating everything and its dog and paving the way for the economic boom of the 1990s. Republicans would have none of the Clinton T-800. They publicly shunned the machine's sexual habits. Now comes the revelation that Arnold, a T-1000 Republi-crat, still carries the old bedside practices of his predecessor. If this were five years ago, the Republicans would be the first to vilify such behavior in a public official. Now, they must borrow a line from their supposed, Democratic foes and convince the public that the T-1000 should not have his personal life judged (or litigated) on his way into office. during his reign as Mr. (King of the) Universe. Did Clinton mention to Arnold that cigars, and not illegal substances, would somehow be his undoing? What wonderful advice from Captain Fellatio. Ignore the 'roids, cover up the Cubans! (or litigated) off his way toward Like the Clinton machine, Arnold appears to have a fence-straddling position on the subject of gay rights. Arnold has said that he has no sexual standards for judging others and that "When it comes to sex, I don't give a s— what anyone's trip is." Hmmm, a very public-like way of articulating the issue. Maybe there is still hope for a guy that George Will and Ari Fleischer have trouble endorsing. endorsing. Behind the scenes, Arnold goes to "Vince Foster lengths" to quash photos of him holding a cigar. The "Governator" felt the publicity of his cigar-smoking habit would be ill suited as the former leader of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. At the same time, Arnold has done nothing to discredit reports that he was loaded up on steroids Schwarzenegger has also been a major financial contributor to the Simon Wiestenhal Center, a prominent Jewish institution in Los Angeles. Big deal! What son of a Nazi policeman isn't donating large sums of money to Jewish organizations? Now, that's what I call having the best of both worlds! Somewhere Clinton is smiling, watching his offspring follow in his footsteps and checking on the marital status of Halle Berry. But what about Kansas? Where is our piece of the pie? When do we get our own admitted weed-smoking, fornicator in charge of running our state? Let's hope Californians take a chance on the "Governator." California's political atmosphere gives us hope that one day we might enjoy our own state-of-the-art Republi-crat in Kansas.

Along with this also comes the looming spectre of salary compression. pression. Salary compression occurs when professors make less than newly-hired and untested professors who had to be hired into the University at the ever-increasing market pay. According to Provost David Shulenburger, all of this is about to change. At a University Governance meeting yesterday, Shulenburger acknowledged the University's salary problems and described how he and Chancellor Robert Hemenway planned to combat them. them. "We have already lost a number of people who were key to the institution; people we enjoyed as colleagues and who cost a lot of money to replace," Shulenburger said. According to Shulenburger, some have left because of higher pay available elsewhere, while others left because they were frustrated with salary compression. "We're not willing to compromise on quality, but we've got some horrendous compression To deal with these issues, Shulenburger announced that the University would continue to spend tuition enhancement money — about $1.5 million this year — for faculty salary increases. Shulenburger said that this, coupled with support from the state, would bring the average pay up to 95 to 96 percent of its peers in four years. here', he said. Murmurs of agreement circulated throughout the room as he expressed his dislike for the situation. here," he said count of them here a long time and I've had a lot of promises broken to me, and most of those promises were from the Legislature," Shulenburger said. in four years. He also said that there was a chance that if the Legislature provided the support it promised, faculty pay at the University could equal that of its peers, but not to count on this support Mark Ezell, associate professor of social welfare, cautioned against increasing the average pay without addressing salary compression. presentation. "Will the spread get bigger?" he asked. "I don't think that's good for the institution." To deal with the compression last year, the University gave out merit-based salary increases to 25 percent of its faculty. The problem was that this left 75 percent of the faculty still frustrated while their co-workers received raises. Part of the problem, according to Lloyd Sponholtz, associate professor of history, was it seemed to some professors that the raises were handed out to professors that the University was worried might leave, as opposed to professors who had high productivity. Shulenburger assured professors that merit-based salary increases only reflected contribution to the University, though marketability could be a sign of that contribution. Shulenburger also said the raises would be handled differently this year in order to to be sure that the money went to those who needed and deserved it most.

The program allows students with scheduling conflicts to enroll in Spanish, French, German and Latin through the Office of Continuing Education. complete the course requirements on their own time, with the help of University professors or graduate students, who teach all the classes. Requirements vary from class to class, but most include two tests and a final exam. The curriculum includes print, audio, video and online elements. Barbara Watkins, curriculum and projects coordinator for continuing education, said distance learning was helpful to students trying to stay on track for degrees because language classes were hard to get into. Rosalea Postma-Carttar, director of basic Spanish language programs, said almost 100 students were still waiting to enroll in Spanish classes this fall, and that distance learning might be a solution for some. Watkins said continuing education updated its classes this year to offer language classes that were the most popular and difficult to get into, especially Spanish. has been teaching all the distance learning French classes for 25 years. She once had a distance learning student go on to earn a French degree, so she knows the program can work. "It makes sense for people who don't have another option," Postma-Cartart said.

Todd Hernandez, graduate research assistant, teaches all the distance learning Spanish classes. He said for learning the basics, distance learning worked, but students shouldn't expect to be able to communicate much Instructor Corinne Anderson after finishing the class. Barb Kral-Hasty, Overland Park senior, said she would only opt for distance learning if there was no way to fit a traditional class into her schedule. She said the experience she gained from her classmates was invaluable. "I can't imagine that the interaction you get reading and writing is nearly comparable to what you'll get speaking and listening in the classroom," Kral-Hasty said.

Edited by Shane Mettlen Bush visits Kansas City talks about economy The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — U.S. manufacturing recently has shown signs of economic recovery, but manufacturers say politicians need to do more to help them. them. President Bush, who talked about the economy in Kansas City yesterday, already has announced plans for a special Commerce Department post to address manufacturing job losses. "Our economy is starting to grow again." Bush said at the Kansas City Convention Center. "Americans are feeling more confident. I am determined to work with the United States Congress to turn these hopeful signs into lasting growth and greater prosperity and more jobs." The recession has bludgeoned the nation's factories in the past three years, with a record 36 consecutive months of job losses totaling 2.7 million. Low demand at home and abroad, coupled with a flood of imports, have slowed production. "We do need some help," said Larry Miller, a spokesman for Kansas City-based Butler Manufacturing, which makes components for nonresidential buildings, "and that starts with policies in Washington and states, reducing the costs of doing Paul Freedenberg, vice president for government relations with the Association for Manufacturing Technology, said he hopes the Bush administration will announce new technology research and will extend or expand incentives for business to build and keep factories in the United States. Despite the upturn in the economy, Freedenberg said, "it's still gonna be a bad year, because we need certainly a lot more. The Commerce Department reported last Thursday that the economy rebounded in the second quarter of this year and grew at a solid 3.1 percent annual rate, a better performance than the government thought just a month ago. business here." Yet 2.7 million net jobs have been lost since the recession began in March 2001, and the average time people are unemployed is more than 19 weeks. The nation's unemployment rate is at 6.2 percent. "We people have to gain confidence in the economy," he added. is at 6.2 percent. Manufacturers say China is their biggest roadblock. They complain that China is manipulating its currency to artificially low levels, boosting overseas sales and giving the country an unfair trade advantage. Sandwich shop wraps it up By Steve Schmidt sschmidt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer There's a new bug in town, and it's serving up sandwich wraps. On Aug. 13, Roly Poly opened its doors in the heart of Massachusetts Street as a self-proclaimed sandwich wrap specialist. "We decided that Mass, Street location was the place to be. It's central to everything around us," store owner James Barr said. Barr said his store, located at 818 Massachusetts St., offered about 60 already-made wraps, but also had more than 150 ingredients from which patrons could design their own wraps. The various fixings could make almost 200,000 combinations, he said. "Lawrence had nothing similar has far as our product goes," Barr said. "We only do wraps, and there's nobody else that does that in town." The average cost for a wrap is $3.50 for a halfand $5 for a whole. Leff Store shift supervisor jeff Mincher said the low costs were always a big draw for students. Mincher said that Roly Poly and the rest of downtown as well was busiest on Saturday mornings. In addition to running the downtown location, Barr owns eight other locations. One is in Manhattan, six are in Nebraska and the second Lawrence location is set to open up on 23rd Street near the intersection of Naismith Drive in two months. It will sit on the site of the old Pizza Hut. He said the Massachusetts Street store would still serve as the main store. Similar to other recent additions to the business community, such as Half-Price Books, the Lawrence locations are coming largely because of the high interest from the five Roly Poly stores in the Kansas City metropolitan area. That number should increase to 40 in the Kansas City area within the next five years. Barr said that statistically stores in large university towns did 50 percent more business annually than other cities. He noted that the most successful cities were Bloomington, Ind., with Indiana University, College Station, Texas, with Texas A&M University, and Birmingham, Ala., with the University of Alabama-Birmingham. Alabama-Birmingham. About 180 franchises could be found nationally, he said. "Obviously university locations are very exciting for us," Brown said.

Edited by Erin Riffey FBI warns terrorist may tactics such as poisoning water, food WASHINGTON — The FBI is warning that terrorists might try to poison food or water supplies, and senior bureau officials said yesterday that al-Qaida is determined to attack Americans at home even though the organization appears to have a relatively small U.S. presence. small U.S. prescribes. The FBI has not detected any individuals or cells actively planning attacks such as those almost two years ago that killed some 3,000 people in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.

"My view is, it's very small but it does exist," Mefford said of al-Qaida's U.S. presence. "Our concern continues to be what exists in the United States that we're not aware of." Separately, the Homeland Security Department is advising federal, state and local security officials to evaluate their security procedures in the run-up to the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, but said current intelligence doesn't warrant an increase in the national threat warning. The current code yellow alert, which signifies an elevated risk of terrorist attack, is the middle level on the five-color scale. The Homeland Security advisory, issued on Thursday, says, "We remain concerned about al-Qaida's continued efforts to plan multiple attacks against the U.S. and U.S. interests overseas." It adds that they have no specific information on individual targets or dates for any attack. Recent arrests of senior al-Qaida members appear to have slowed some of their operational planning, the advisory says. However, it notes that al-Qaida operatives are still looking to conduct an attack similar to the Sept. 11 strikes, using hijacked aircraft as missiles. aircraft as missiles. The FBI's Mefford said al-Qaida remains America's most dangerous terrorist foe because of the group's tenacity, patience and willingness to use tactics, including weapons of mass destruction, that demonstrate "they have no inhibitions and they have no rules." tions and the Homeland Security advisory says intelligence indicates operatives may try to hijack flights that fly near, but not into, the United States, so they will not have to pass the increasingly stringent requirements to board a U.S.-bound flight.

Lightly protected targets like restaurants, hotels and apartments are also possible targets, it says. Terrorists could also try unusual approaches to artfully conceal suicide devices, the advisory said. "Male bombers may dress as females in order to discourage scrutiny." The FBI's latest weekly bulletin to state and local law enforcement agencies cautions terrorists might use two naturally occurring toxins — nicotine and solanine — to poison U.S. food or water supplies. Nicotine is found in tobacco plants and solanine in potatoes that are old or have been exposed to sunlight for a long time. The bulletin, obtained yesterday by The Associated Press, says that terrorist manuals and documents recovered at al-Qaida sites in Afghanistan contain references to use of both substances as poisons. polls. The FBI said there are no known uses of either toxin by al-Qaida or other Islamic extremist groups, and there is no intelligence indicating such an attack is imminent. But the bulletin noted a Michigan man pleaded guilty in May to lacing 250 pounds of ground beef with an insecticide containing nicotine, sickening 92 people, in an attempt to get a supermarket co-worker in trouble. Dems oppose marriage amendment The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Democratic senators on yesterday said they opposed a constitutional amendment to preserve the definition of marriage as a manwoman union, saying the law defining marriage as such is not at risk.

"No courts have questioned that law ... I don't think anyone has seriously suggested that law is in danger," said Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont).

Geha and her teammates will look to build on their two-game winning streak when Kansas takes on the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers today. The Panthers are coming off an 0-2 start. The Kansas women's soccer team looks to extend its winning start this weekend. Kansas looks to build on last weekend's 2-0 start. Team captain Sarah Gonzalez, Overland Park senior, said the team was looking forward to playing the Panthers. The Jayhawks visit the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers at 4 p.m. today. The team then travels to Madison, Wis., to play the University of Wisconsin Badgers at 1 p.m. Sunday. "We want to keep up our intensity," Gonzalez said. "We definitely want to keep the focus from last weekend." The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is coming off an 0-2 start, after losing an overtime game to Dayton, 1-0, then falling to Vanderbilt, 1-0, last weekend. Wisconsin-Milwaukee finished 13-6-5 last season, and have been the Horizon League season champions for three years in a row. The team is picked to win the regular season again this year after 15 straight unbeaten league matches. Like Kansas, the Panthers have a strong freshman class. Wisconsin-Milwaukee coach Michael Moynihan has used the early season non-conference games to test different lineup combinations, and it's likely he will use various players in today's match. Sunday's match-up could be the Jayhawks toughest challenge thus far. The Badgers finished 13-9-3 last season, and lost to fifth ranked Pepperdine in overtime of the second round of the NCAA tournament. Nick Brilowski, Wisconsin sports information director, said the Badgers have a good mix of experience and young talent. The team returns two of its top scorers from a year ago, Jenny Kundert and Amy Ver- In last weekend's California Invitational Tournament, the Badgers lost to the University of California 1-2, and defeated St. Mary's 3-1. meulen. Kundert led the Big 10 in assists and was named to the first-team Big 10 soccer team last season. The Badgers are 1-1 on the season. In an exhibition game the team defeated Depaul 3-2. — Edited by Ashley Marriott Soccer star nets awards for five-goal weekend The honors keep coming in for Kansas soccer player Caroline Smith. The Edina, Minn., sophomore, was named to both Soccer America Magazine's National Team of the Week and the SoccerBuzz Elite Team of the Week. "She definitely started out the season really well," coach Mark Francis said. "I think she felt she had something to prove, not only to others, but to herself, coming off her injury last season." Soccer Smith recorded three goals and an assist in the Jayhaws 4-1 “It's cool to get recognized by the conference for everything that happened last weekend,” Smith said. “It's especially nice to see that our team is getting recognized as having done well after being ranked seventh win over Northwestern last weekend. She then scored both goals in a 2-0 win over Evansville. The Jayhawks, ranked eighth in the Central Region by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, travel north this weekend for games with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the University of Wisconsin. in the Big 12 preseason ranking." —Nikki Nugent By John Domoney jdomeney@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Last season's total was the highest since the 1969 campaign after a 9-2 season and Orange Bowl appearance. The school sold 27,500 season tickets, which remains a school record. remains a school Kansas has not been to a postseason bowl since 1995. Marchiony realizes that he has to sell a team that has a combined 9-25 record over the past three seasons. To convince fans to attend home games in Memorial Stadium, Marchiony said the Athletics Department is advertising towards a certain group of people. Marchiony is referring to the ticket office's sale of slightly more than 24,000 football season ticket sales. This number represents a slight drop from last season's 26,500 season tickets sold. "You try to market to people who are Kansas fans who are sports fans," Marchiony said. "You also target families and groups so that you can try to make an impact." but I am too joking. "I don't know if I'd say I'm disappointed," said Marchiony, new associate athletics director for external affairs. "Obviously we want to sell more but considering the late start we get on selling tickets, I think we did pretty well." At the same time, Marchionv Jim Marchiony is not satisfied with football season ticket sales, but he is looking for positives. said the department has a strategy on how to market the team in a positive manner despite past losing records. As part of the new Pure Kansas campaign by the department, season ticket holders are issued a host of items including a schedule magnet and a team photo signed by the team captains. "It's a good way to drive up ticket sales," said Mike Harmon, director of advertising. "It's pretty basic. We need more fans in the stands." "You concentrate on steps being made to turn it around," Marchiony said. "Going to a college athletic event is what you highlight." Marchiony said the advantages to being a season ticket holder were obvious. Not only does a fan pay less per ticket, perks are also included in the deal. Last Saturday's football home opener against Northwestern drew a crowd of 27,000 supporters. The number was acceptable for a game that was played in inclement weather and over Labor Day weekend, Marchiony said. Marchiony would not make a prediction to what type of crowd he expected for Saturday's home game against University of Nevada, Las Vegas, but he said he would work to make the best of the situation. streak. "We're just going to try our best on getting the word out and we'll let other people worry about goals and numbers," Marchiony said.

The Jayhawks fell to Northwestern 28-20 after turning the ball over four times in the first half. Meanwhile, the Rebels came from behind with two 4th quarter touchdowns to beat Toledo 28-18. The Rebels lost two fumbles and were penalized 13 times for 104 yards. Both teams would like to clean up their act at Memorial Stadium. UNLV won last year's match-up in Las Vegas 31-20 behind a strong running attack. Mark Mangino, Kansas football coach, said this year's UNLV team was different from last year's team. "You can't really compare last year with this year but we are glad to be playing at home." Mangino said. "It beats playing on the road, I can tell you that." DEFENSIVE ADVANTAGE: Push Kansas's defense was effective last Saturday when the offense could put together a drive. Gabe Toomey had 12 tackles including three for loss, while Banks Floodman had 11 tackles and Tony Stubbs added 15. had 11 tackles and 109 yards. The defense did allow 454 yards of offense, but most of this was after they had been on the field for a prolonged amount of time. Kansas has better athletes and size than UNLV, but the offense must keep them off the field for the defense to be consistently effective. UNLV also had trouble pressuring the passer in Toledo game. Linebacker John Andrews was the Mountain West defensive player of the week for his efforts against Toledo which included eight tackles and the team's only sack. Linebacker Adam Seward is on the preseason Butkus Award list and also had eight tackles. Safety Jamaal Brimmer had seven tackles including two for losses. Brimmer was last season's Mountain West defensive player of the year. Getting after the quarterback will be a must. OFFENSIVE ADVANTAGE: Kansas UNLV had decent offensive numbers against a weaker defense in ideal offensive conditions. Quarterback Kurt Nantkes threw for 308 yards and three touchdowns in the win. Running back Larry Croom led all rushers with 97 yards. Suspended UNLV star wide receiver Earvin Johnson did not play against Toledo, but will play against Kansas. Johnson was all-Mountain West last season. The Kansas offense didn't produce, but played in a torrential downpour all game. Against Northwestern, Bill Whittemore threw for 240 yards with a touchdown and an interception, although a late 48-yard hail mary to Charles Gordon inflated his stats. Clark Green ran for 79 yards while Mark Simmons had 113 yards receiving, including a 74 yard cross-field scamper for a touchdown after a short Whittemore pass. X-FACTOR: Kansas 4 4 Robinson named n' Overall, career r two ye coach 79-74 Sinc. As mentioned before, the X- Factor is the Kansas offense's ability to move the ball. If the Kansas defense is well-rested, they will y to the ball and make plays. Moderick Johnson will get a chance to prove what he can do, and Whittemore will regain the touch he displayed all spring and summer. Mangino said the offense was important to Kansas's chances. "We need to move the sticks more, get more first downs, and get in the end zone first," Mangino said. "We can't allow our defense to be out on the field for 40 minutes." This time, the Kansas offense won't have to deal with a minor hurricane, so expect more production from the offense, and ultimately a victory for the home team. COACHES: UNLV Two college coaches could hardly be further apart than Mangino and UNLV's John Robinson. Robinson won the 1978 National Championship with USC and was named national coach of the year after an 11-0-1 campaign in 1979. Overall, Robinson is the nation's 11th-winningest active coach with a career record of 125-62-4 (.663). Mangino's career record is 2-11 after two years with the Jayhawks. Robinson escaped the college ranks to be coach of the NFL's Los Angeles Rams during the 1980s. He compiled a 79-74 record, including six trips to the playoffs, in nine full seasons. Since returning to coach college ball in 1993 with the USC Trojans, friday september 5,2003 Robinson has a record of 57-48, including a 20-27 record through four full years with the Rebels. Mangino's team has struggled since he arrived in Lawrence, as it did when Terry Allen was here before him. The Jayhawks did reload this year with a highly touted class of junior-college recruits. Mangino needs those transfers to catch on to Kansas' schemes quickly. —Compiled by JJ Hansley and Shane Mettlen REBELS1-0 STATS This season PASSING Name Comp-Att Yards TD INT Nantkes 27-41 308 3 1 RUSHING Name Yards Carries Avg.

State by 7.5 Missouri vs. North State Missouri Missouri Missouri Missouri Missouri by 14 Baylor vs. North Texas North Texas North Texas Baylor Baylor North Texas by 15 Colorado vs. UCLA Colorado UCLA Colorado Colorado Colorado by 3 Bethune-Cookman vs. Alabama State Alabama State Alabama State Alabama State Alabama State Not available Greene's weekend picks 1) Kansas vs. UNLV Seeing the positive attitude the Jayhawks have kept up over the past week, they will get over the hump early this season. I think the defense steps up bigtime this weekend. Greene's pick: Kansas 2) Houston vs. Michigan Chris Perry ran for 232 yards last week versus Central Michigan, and Houston's defense is not much better. G re e n e s pick: Michigan 31 Washington State vs. Notre Dame As much as it hurts, it would be dumb to pick against Notre Dame. Even though Washington State still has a high-powered offense, it's hard to go against Notre Dame in its home opener. 4) Florida vs. Miami Florida's freshman stud quarterback Chris Leak may be the hottest commodity in college football, but he's never faced a defense like Miami's. Miami quarterback Brock Berlin will have the last laugh against his former team. Greene's pick: Miami 51 Marvland vs. Florida State 6) Oklahoma vs. Alabama 7) BYU vs. USC Maryland proved to be overrated when Northern Illinois shut down the Terrapin offense last Thursday, and Florida State will only add insult to injury. Greene's pick: Florida State Oklahoma barely squeaked this one I'm just not sold on Oklahoma's offense, which struggled against North Texas last week. Alabama's lethal backfield of quarterback Brody Croyle and tailback Shaud Williams will have a surprisingly big day against a stingy Oklahoma defense. Greene's pick: Alabama USC rolled up on sixth-ranked Auburn last week, and should not have any problem with a BYU team that is inexperienced, especially in Pasadena. 8) N.C. State vs. Wake Forest Greene's pick: USC Wake Forest is one of college football's best-kept secrets this season, but N.C. State's sophomore tailback T.A. McClendon will make sure they stay unknown. 9) Missouri vs. Ball State Greene's pick: N.C. State As hard as it is to pick Missouri for the second consecutive week, Ball State's defense is absolutely pathetic. Not only will the Tigers win, but they'll win big. Greene's pick: Missouri 10) Baylor vs. North Texas North Texas is much better than people think. After a bowl appearance last season, they held their own for a good portion of last week's loss to Oklahoma. Greene's pick: North Texas 11) Colorado vs. UCLA UCLA's quarterback situation is very sticky, and a tough Colorado defense will keep it that way. The Buffaloes will win, but not as convincingly as most would expect. Greene's pick: Colorado 12) Bethune-Cookman vs. Alabama State Bethune Cookman sounds sweet, but I have to go with the team I've actually heard of in this one. Greene's pick: Alabama State Greene is a Vernon Hills, Ill., senior in journalism. friday, september 5, 2003 advertisement the university daily kansan 9A KU EXPERIENCE JAYHAWK GAMEDAY Come and experience the fun and excitement of college football gameday as KU takes on UNLV.

PAGE 8A The University Daily Kansan sports commentary 12A SPORTS COMMUNITY Friday, September 5, 2003 Jonah Ballow iballow@kansan.com Supreme players all reside in Big 12 When searching for the best conference in college football, fans need to look no further than the Big 12 Conference. Besides the Bears and the Jayhawks, who sit in the basement of the conference, the Big 12 owns some of the best teams in America. Before the season began, the Buffaloes and the Cornhuskers were not listed in the Top 25. After last week's performances, they both find themselves back in the top 25 and vying for a conference title. The Buffaloes are fresh off back-toback Big 12 North Championships, but critics said there were too many questions heading into the season to validate a Top 25 ranking. One of the main concerns for the team was at the quarterback spot but Colorado quickly found an answer with The Sporting News' National Player of the Week's sophomore Joel Klatt. Klatt completed 21 of his 34 passes for 402 yards and four touchdowns. The Buffaloes have a rigorous schedule, but seem resilient and ready for the 2003 season. KU MAN 5 Nebraska finds itself in an interesting position after many years of dominating the Big 12 North. Even with a suspect passing attack, Nebraska can run the football as well as any team in the country. Jamaal Lord is insufficient throwing the ball but is considered one of the best option quarterbacks in the nation. The Cornhuskers made a strong showing in its first game by defeating the Cowboys 17-7 first game by defeating the Cowboys, this team Speaking of the Cowboys, this队 lost a tough game in Lincoln, Neb., but it still has high hopes for the season. Oklahoma State may have the best receiver in the nation, Rashaun Woods. They were only bumped out of the Top 25 by losing to a Big 12 opponent. The Sooners are the No.1 team in the nation with one of Bob Stoops' best defensive units since he arrived at the program. Linebacker Teddy Lehman leads a group of defenders who are athletic and physically imposing enough to shut down even the best offensive teams. The Sooners are one of the more feared teams in America, and should find a spot in a Bowl Championship Series game. Do not venture too far because the No. 6-positioned Wildcats also have a possible Heisman candidate, quarterback Elle Roberson. The Wildcats are efficient on the ground with Darren Sproles, who is also regarded as one of the best running backs in the nation. ries game. Slide down three spots in the polls and find the Longhorns who pummeled New Mexico State 66-7 last week. Not only do the Longhorns have a shot at the national title game, but the team features a Heisman hopeful in wide receiver Roy Williams. Texas has not lost a step behind new quarterback Chance Mock, and is vastly improving defensively, which solidifies their No. 4 spot in the polls. Across the border, the Tigers have made considerable strides in their program under Gary Pinkle. Sophomore quarterback Brad Smith leads the Tigers because of his abilities on the ground and through the air. Missouri defeated Big 10 opponent, Illinois, last week and Banks Floodman, sophomore linebacker, stopped Northwestern's Brett Basanez in last week's game. KU will look to Floodman and fellow sopho more linebackers Gabe Toomey and Nick Reid for solid defense in Saturday's game against UNLV. 'Hawks still looking to win SEE SUPREME ON 7A By Ryan Greene rgreee@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter Heading into tomorrow's game against UNLV the Kansas football team is still looking to collect dividends on an offseason of hard work. "We've asked them to make a lot of sacrifices, and they have willingly," coach Mark Mangino said. "When you invest a lot, and you don't get a return on it, it's more painful. By the same token, it makes you more hungry and aggressive to want to go out and get it changed." to want to go back. Last weekend's 28-20 loss to Northwestern was not the start Mangino's team envisioned for the 2003 season. the Jayhawks ran the ball well, with sophomore tailback Clark Green picking up 79 yards on 17 carries, but passing did not come as naturally. Senior quarterback Bill Whittemore struggled in his first game back from last season's knee injury, completing only 12 of 28 pass attempts with one touchdown and one interception. Whittemore's struggles may have surprised his receivers more than anyone. receivers more than anyone, "I was kind of surprised," sophomore wide receiver Mark Simmons said. "But with all great quarterbacks, they'll tend to bounce back. He's ready to get back on the field and prove everybody wrong that thinks he was a little shaky." that thinks he will defensively, the Jayhawks couldn't overcome the unit's biggest problem in 2002; stopping the run. 2002: stopping the tide Northwestern tailback Jason Wright victimized the Jayhawks to the tune of 196 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Controlling the Rebels running game will not be any easier tomorrow, as UNLV features three backs who Mangino believes could play for any team in the nation. Kansas' linebacking corps will be counted on heavily to stop the run tomorrow. Sophomore linebackers Gabe Toomey, Banks Floodman and Nick Reid each played solid games last week. This week they will be needed more than ever, as starting defensive tackle Chuck Jones is listed as day-to-day with nagging injuries. "We feel like that's going to be the strength, and we have to feature those guys," defensive coordinator Bill Young said. "We have to do everything we can to get them into position to make plays." get them into position, In the defensive backfield, it will be another week of growth for Kansas' young cornerbacks, sophomore Donnie Amadi and junior Shelton Simmons. Shelton Simmons struggled in his first Division I start last weekend, but Mangino will continue to let him learn by experience. understand that position inside and out," Mangino said. "The thing about him, he's a true competitor. When he makes a mistake, he even does that 100-percent, and that's a welcome sight." "He just needs to settle in and experience. Instead of dwelling on last week's tough loss, Mark Simmons said the attitude of the season is just as positive as it was a week ago. Even jn an 0-1 hole,the Jayhawks continue to look forward. "We're ready to win," Simmons said. "We can't wait for everybody to see at the end of the season how much we've improved from last year. We're looking forward, we don't look behind us." —Edited by Andy Marso Volleyball aims to bury Gophers By Mike Norris mnorris@kansan.com Kansan Sportswriter If the Kansas volleyball team wants to win the Nike Volleyball Invitational this weekend in Minneapolis, it will have to do something a Kansas volleyball squad has never done: beat the University of Minnesota. The 13th ranked Golden Gophers are 11-0 all-time against the Jayhawks, and despite the Gopher's three losses in a Hawaii tournament last weekend, Kansas coach Ray Bechard hasn't forgotten their 32-6 record a year ago. "I think they'll be extremely emotionally charged because they had a tough weekend," said Bechard. "Now they're going to be at home, they're going to be comfortable." comfortable. Sarah Rome, senior outside hitter, will also be at home.The Eagan, Minn., native will play in front of some familiar faces. "A lot of my family is going to be there, and they haven't seen me play in a long time," she said. "I'll be very fun." Rome's family shouldn't be disappointed.

The board said it would work with KJHK to create an initial plan for takeover by its Dec. 6 meeting, and a further plan for 2004-2005 to be presented at their May meeting. The KU Memorial Unions came one step closer to taking charge of KJHK on Saturday. be presented at then May meeting Most of the board who spoke at the meeting showed support for Union funds. "I think it's a great idea," said Andy Knopp, student body president and David Mucci, KU Memorial Unions director, said Provost David Shulenburger offered the Union the opportunity to run KJHK under four conditions; the station must build an audience, be self-sufficient and professional, benefit the campus community and serve the University. board member.

"I have never known our students not to rise to the occasion," he said. format, but now they are "It's a really exciting possibility for us," said Meredith Vacek, Olathe senior and station manager for KJHK. "Without the interest of the programs department, we probably wouldn't still be here." Vacek said the Programs Department had explicitly promised not to change anything. KJHK staffers said that they were concerned a change in management would cause a change in the station's student-run format, but now they are optimistic. Cole Gray, Atchison senior and KJHK disc jockey, credited Vacek and the rest of the radio station's executive staff with ensuring that the Unions involvement would be positive. "I think everyone was worried at first, but we have some great people in charge that will fight for us," he said. Gray works for The University Daily Kansan.

The school has shifted from radio journalism during the past few years and towards television, Mucci said. "The J-school didn't want us anymore, and it's exciting to be with someone who does." Vacek said. The chancellor and provost promised financial support for the station through July 2004 and have reserved the right to find new management should the Unions fail to fulfill their responsibility Though the board of directors was in favor of taking on KJHK, it said it worried about making it self-sufficient.

The first. Detour: A Fashion Show, was held at a smaller venue, the former bar Raoul's Velvet Room, now Eight One Five, 815 Massachusetts St. Daydream was the same format, but was performance art on a larger scale involving music, 40 models and the wearable art of the designers, said producer, Sarah Stiefel. The entire cast of models in the Daydream fashion show strutted across the Liberty Hall stage as the show came to a close Saturday night. Local designers used performance art skirts to showcase their designs. Eric Breen/Kansai Stiefel and her co-producer Ashlee Hall had seen shows before in the Kansas City area and wanted to bring something similar to Lawrence. something shimmered in the room. "I guess it was a risk," Stiefel said, "but we loved it and hoped others would love it." The fashion show was a performance in nine scenes set to the music of DJ Bill Pile. Stiefel and Hall developed the scenes to represent different parts of the day. Each designer was given a time of day, Morning through Dream, and designed eight to nine outfits. In the "Morning" eight models groggy stirred from sleep under gray sheets to reveal colorful pajamas. The audience cheered as one male model, a long-haired blonde, strutted down the catwalk in black ankle boots and hot pink shorts. "The models were as much a part of the art as the clothes," designer Molly Murphy said. Murphy shined. Murphy designed the Workday wear with friend Heather O'Brien. Murphy, an illustrator, said she and O'Brien explored gender roles and stereotypes with their designs. She said the attitudes of the models played a role in the presentation of the clothes. "It was important to us that the girls were assertive and comfortable with themselves." Murphy said. Murphy and O'Brien's scene began with seven secretaries who stripped off white lab coats to reveal sexy creations converted from men's clothing. At the end of the scene the models, dressed in fishnet stockings, ties and corsets, dragged a bewildered boss off the stage. "It was important to us that the girls were assertive and comfortable with themselves." Molly Murphy Daydream fashion designer Hadley Johnson, designer of the Cocktail wear, said she had participated in three fashion shows this year. "You are putting your things in these girls hands and you don't know what might happen," Johnson said. Johnson, who graduated from the University of Kansas two years ago, now sells her clothing in Kansas City, Mo. and said she has sold out of her summer collection and hoped to open her own store. The designs will be on display 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, at the Grimshaw Gallery, 731 New Hampshire St. Some of the fashions will be for sale. — Edited by Shane Mettlen Cyclists get thrills from bikes, brews By Maggie Newcomer mnewcomer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Any party where attendees drain 15 or more kegs, biking could be a dangerous endeavor. But at Tour of Fat, beer and bikes go hand in hand. Close to 1,000 people turned up at Burcham Park, located at the north end of Indiana street near the Kansas River, to eat, drink and ride. The bike rides started at 9 a.m. and ended by noon. Riders could choose from a 25-mile ride, a 17-mile ride or shorter "fun rides." and bikes go home Saturday marked Tour de Fat's fourth appearance in Lawrence. Rain accompanied the annual bike tour and beer festival during its first three years. But Saturday's clear skies made this year's event the first dry Tour de Fat ever in Lawrence. Molly Winter and Nicole Wilcox, Lawrence seniors, said they never miss the Tour of Fat. "There are bikes, beer and bands," Winter said. "What more could you ask for?" Tour de Fat is sponsored by New Belgium Brewing Company, Inc., based in Fort Collins, Colo. Although it's sponsored by a beer company, Tour de Fat is a family-oriented party, Chris Winn, event coordinator for New Belgium, said. "We decided it wasn't fair that only Harley riders got to have good parties," Winn said. Tour de Fat is named after New Belgium's Fat Tire Amber Ale. New Belgium's owner, Jeff Lebesch, started the company after he went on a bike tour in Belgium and sampled several local beers. Fat Tire was named after that bike tour.

Sean Smith/Kansan Daniel Hunt, associate professor of sculpture at Kansas State University, and Ryan Lamphers, K-State senior from Lee's Summit, Mo., set up an exhibition show in KU's art and design building Saturday morning. The show opens Sept. 7 and features sculptures from K-State students. K-State students' artwork is on display at the University's Art and Design Gallery until Sept. 26. Daniel Hunt, associate professor of sculpture at K-State, and the students, unloaded the pieces Saturday morning. Once everything was inside, Hunt constantly shifted the pieces in the large room for the best sight lines. "I tried to put together a diverse exhibition by idea and media." Hunt said. Abby Taylor said the sculptures achieved Hunt's goals. "They are narratives of the human form and the human condition," said Taylor, Overland Park junior and student curator at the gallery. "Which is always good, because you can always take away more from pieces like that." Matt DeFord's two pieces, "Due Process #2" and "Press Forward," are on opposite ends of the gallery. Both are vertical, wood structures with fabrics wrapped around the top and share the idea of climbing steps. He carved steps in "Press Forward" and made free-swinging steps in "Due Process #2." DeFord, a graduate student at Kansas State, wanted to make it look like an unfinished process. He said the art was similar to reaching a particular point and realizing that there was more to go. DeFord faced problems of concept and structure while working. "Just as the pieces change as you're building them, they kind of become a process in and of themselves of exploring," he said. "You don't know how it's going to end or how it going to turn out sometimes." Hilary Wahlen noticed drips of plaster on her concrete sculpture, "Thalidomide Tree," and she scraped it off with a pocket knife for some finishing touches. The inspiration for the sculpture came from standing in line at a store with her daughter. "This woman in front of me in line had a physical deformity which was severe and I was really worried that my daughter was going to blurt it out," she said. "It was just really interesting to watch and look at this woman." The woman was born with the effects of thalidomide, the drug known to cause defects during pregnancy. She had ball-shaped fingers instead of normal ones. In Wahlen's sculpture, concrete balls take the form of a cupped hand. The base resembles a tree trunk. Besides wood and concrete, artists used bronze, iron and galvanized steel in their art. Hunt hoped Kansas State would be able to host an exhibit of KU students' art in the future because of the good relationship between the departments. He said he shared similar teaching philosophies to John Hachmeister, associate professor of sculpture at the University. "I have some students apply for graduate school at KU, and John has some of his students apply for graduate school at K-State," Hunt said. It was the first time DeFord had been inside the Art and Design gallery at the University. gamble at it, "It's a neat opportunity," he said. "I always love being able to display my art. It's fun that they have us come to do this." The free exhibit began yesterday and features 14 sculptures by 10 undergraduate and graduate students. Students share food, heritage -Edited by Erin Riffey By Johanna M. Maska jmaska@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Red Corn brothers share more than a name. Ryan, Jon and Studebaker shared heritage, food and friends at the First Nations Student Association barbeque yesterday afternoon. The First Nations Student Association, or FNSA, began in 1991 to celebrate a varied culture of more than 500 Native American tribes Ryan Red Corn, Lenexa senior, is a co-president of the group. He is the oldest of four brothers from the Osage tribe that came to Kansas in 1989 from Pawhuska, Okla., a Native American encampment. Red Corn said the encampment's culture was deep-rooted with traditional dances every June, hand games for birthdays and events and week-long funerals Lenexa's culture wasn't exactly the same, but in the difficult move, he learned a value of his culture Red Corn's cooking talent was on display: an Osage peach dish with butter, sugar and red hots The recipes have changed since pre-U.S. expansion. Now, Red Corn said, typical Native American tood is based on the ingredients available at the government established stores. Red Corn said he joined FNSA to find more people like him. Olivia Standing Bear, Pawhuska, Okla, senior, has similar roots. She is Osage, Lakota and Sloux, but grew up with Osage traditions. The feeling of family on a large campus is one of the reasons Standing Bear values FNSA. She is also proud of the community education the group provides. education the group There is confusion with Native American heritage, she said. Whether they assume Native Americans should wear Poechontas-style braids or that reservations are a groups of tee-pees, Standing Bear said many people base their knowledge on popular culture. Those stereotypes are one thing FNSA works to combat But they don't just work with other Native Americans. FNSA has members from all ethnicities who are interested in learning more about American history. FNSA will be meeting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the lounge of the Multicultural Resource Center. Tagging monarchs give researchers information, answers Edited by Ashley Marriott By Amber Byarlay abyarlay@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Keeping millions of monarch butterflies migrating each year takes time and effort. A University of Kansas program has spent 12 years gathering information to keep them moving. That is why Monarch Watch "If you want to conserve something you have to understand it," said Chip Taylor, head of the Monarch Watch program and insect ecologist. nas worked with the public to tag the butterflies. The program held an openhouse Friday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. It will have a tagging event 7 a.m. to 11 a.m Saturday at the Baker Wetlands. Organizers will offer nets to people to catch the butterflies and will also teach how to tag them. The University's tagging program is the largest program east of the Rocky Mountains. Sarah Schmidt, program assistant, said Monarch. Watch would send about 300,000 tags to people. Christy McCormick, crew member and Lawrence senior, said that 200.060 tags had been sent out by Saturday's event. The organization only sends tags to people east of the Rockies because monarchs live in two groups. One group remains west of the range while the other stays to the east. Scientists are not sure why the butterflies do this and that is one question the program is trying to answer. When an insect is tagged. information about the tagging location and tag number are given to the project's members. This information is then entered into a database. To survive the winter, Monarchs will fly south into Mexico where temperatures will stay around 50 degrees. The butterflies will roost in trees in the Mexican forests. In many of these forests, logging is now illegal. Schmidt said that creating the sanctuaries left natives that had been logging those forests jobless. "Kids are great at it because they have little fingers." Sarah Schmidt Program assistant Many of these natives now collect the tagged butterflies and send the information to the University. Schmidt won Monarch Watch gave $5 for each collected tag. gave us for each conference We pay locals in Mexico to find them because they spend a lot of time and effort finding them." Schmidt said. Schmidt said the $5 was comparable to 50 pesos, or a daily wage in the country. Schmidt said that many schools participated in the program. "Kids are great at it because they have little fingers," Schmidt said. To tag the butterflies, people need to contact the program to get the stickers and data sheets. - Edited by Erin Riffey vespa kansas city 9555 Nall Ave • Overland Park BACK·TO·SCHOOL 4% INTEREST WITH APPROVED CREDIT no payments for 90 DAYS with the purchase of an ET2 or ET4 top case & helmet. 913 383 2350 vespakansascity.com Is safer sex important? h, yes, it is.

EH, YEP. THAT'S it. YOWZA! YOWZA! Joe Thurston for The University Daily Kansen Americans must resist urges COMMENTARY The American consumer society is a dangerous place to live, especially if its citizens do not know how to avoid being caught in the trap of instant gratification. Instant gratification is a growing problem in our nation. In a society of incessant consumption, if people cannot differentiate between what is a genuine desire versus what is the result of a constant barrage of advertising and pop culture media, they risk losing themselves to a life filled with short-term pleasure and long-term instability. I am a teacher of English. long-term mission. While strong in other aspects, American culture is filled with individuals who are weakened by their need for that "quick-fix," be it through spending money, overeating or even dating multiple people. Everyone has a weakness. We give in to temptation, often against our better judgment, and sometimes are unaware that we are giving in at all. The desire for instant gratification is too strong, too impulsive. We act on whatever will make us happy at any given moment, not thinking about what we are doing, why we want to do it and whether it will really be beneficial, or if it simply feels good at the time. While there is nothing wrong with doing things that make us happy, reckless pleasure-seeking can cause more damage than good in the long term. Sara Zafar opinion@kansan.com It is no coincidence that, according to the latest census, more than 50 percent of all marriages end in divorce. While not every failed marriage can be attributed to bad judgment, the inherent lack of planning and general impulsivity of many Americans often plays a part in relationships gone wrong. Obesity among Americans young and old is another indication of the instant gratification epidemic. Centers for Disease Control statistics show that nearly 30 percent of American adults are obese, and more than 60 percent are overweight. The numbers are alarmingly similar among children. Again, not all cases of obesity are related to lack of selfcontrol, but nowhere else in the world does a problem of this magnitude exist. The fact that leading psychiatric journals have published numerous studies about a problem known as compulsive shopping disorder is another, more illustrative example of American culture and its weakness for material happiness its weakness. The importance of remaining strong against one's weakness is often overlooked. What is so bad about doing the things we want to do when we want to do them? Nothing per se, but the ability to hold out on the things we desire in life allows us to gain perspective on why we want them in the first place. Deliberately denying one's self some pleasurable aspects of life might seem like unnecessary torture, but in actuality, it often helps one gain the strength to control one's impulses, not only when faced with a specific weakness, but also when faced with any number of trying situations. People who cannot stay in a consistent relationship, who jump from person to person, might do well to decide not to pursue relationships for a short while so that they can spend sometime with themselves, getting to know who they really are and what they really want in a relationship. For people who constantly crave certain foods, deciding to give them up for a certain amount of time tests their strength and willpower, at the same time giving them more control over their future cravings, allowing them to make less impulsive choices. Carefully considering every purchase before actually making it can prove more rewarding in the long run than simply buying for the sake of buying. sake of buying. We cannot stop ourselves from giving in to our wants every time they challenge us. We would not be human if we denied ourselves every pleasure. But learning to control our impulse and not give in to every fleeting desire can help strengthen not only ourselves, but also our country as a whole. Zafar is a Wichita junior in history letter to the editor Column offers no solution I found the column, "Revolutionary time calls for everyone to speak out," by Stephen Shupe, Sept. 3, a vague, biased attempt to induce an emotional rise lacking substance. The opening criticizes people for not protesting "government misdeeds" that are "self-evident," yet he offers no examples. It says "no one is talking" and today's college students are silent, yet I saw "Don't Attack Iraq" stickers across campus and received a plethora of anti-war emails. But let's go bigger. Los Angeles passed an anti-war policy publicly opposing President Bush's plan. "Peaceful" protesters across the country were arrested for blocking intersections. This was live and in color via our "corporately bought-and-paid-for news media." The media actions it berates, I see the author guilty of. The recount of the Florida recounts did not mention democrats forcing volunteers to recount and blocking exits. Nor that Gore denied votes of marines serving overseas to be counted. After saying this, I would like to make clear that the author's opinion is important to me. Free speech is crucial to the success of our nation. Diversity can not survive in silence. However, the column called for no positive actions, addressed no tangible concerns, and offered no solution save "revolution". Revolt simply for the sake of revolution? That's called a riot David B. Bradley, Savannah, Ga., graduate student. perspective War on terrorism' waste of our government's time Like most Americans, I remember where I was when the World Trade Center towers were destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001. I vividly remember the shock and horror of witnessing secondhand the events that transpired. I expected the outpouring of grief and sympathy that rose out of the ruins of those towers, but I never expected the political monstrosity called "the war on terrorism." COMMENTARY Matthew Dunavan opinion@kansan.com Call me callous and heartless. Do I feel sorry for the families left bereaved? Yes. Was it a tragedy? Absolutely. Is there any justification for it to have happened? No. What should our government have done in response? Very little, if anything at all. You heard it right. I'm a psycho who'd hand us over to terrorists. The government should not have reacted to this episode of terrorism by spending heaps of taxpayer dollars to ensure our safety. Why? A government takes money from its citizens for the express purpose of using it to increase their well-being. In order to do this, a government must be skilled at prioritization. This may sound obvious to some people, but it seems to have slipped everybody's mind in the furor over terrorism: safety is just another word for "not getting killed." If the government wants to increase the safety of Americans, it needs to keep us from getting killed. Resources should be allocated to problems in proportion to the size of the problem. Because money is finite, when it discusses the safety of its citizenry, a government should ask itself what the Want to avoid thinking about losses because of disease? Try transportation on for size. According to a recent issue of U.S.News and World Report, How many people died of terrorism in the year 2001? Several thousand. Not to trivialize the suffering of the victims of terrorism, because each life lost is a tragedy, but ask yourself how many people lost their lives to heart disease in that same year. To cancer? I'm no fool. I want to live just as much as the next person. But when I walk outside every day, I'm not worried about spontaneously combusting. And I'm not worried about terrorism, either. Even if lived in an area more likely to be affected by a terrorist attack, such as a major metropolis, I still would not be worried about terrorism, because the chance of being affected is so monumentally small when compared to more prosocial problems. largest threats are to the lives of those people. How threatened are we by terrorism? I hate to say it, but the threat is pretty slim. With the anniversary of Sept. 11 just around the corner, Americans need to take stock of what our reactionary impulses have spawned. The "war on terror" has taken up our resources combating a problem with a threat level akin to that of being eaten by sharks or struck by lightning. Which is more of a priority for the government? Keeping people on edge about the latest terror alerts? Spending millions of dollars creating a new department of Homeland Security? Using tax dollars and American soldiers' lives to fight terrorism? All that, or trying to come up with better ways to make our roads safer, prevent drunk people from getting behind the wheel, and getting people to wear their safety belts when they drive? Unfortunately for 42,850 of us last year, the government chose to deal with the former. approximately 42,850 people died in car accidents, last year alone. 44 Dunavan is a Topeka senior in political science and philosophy - monday, september 8, 2003 advertisement the university daily kansan 5A Do you really want to see 22 minutes of drunken behavior and 32 acts of sexual deviancy?

And enjoy it. Organic Style magazine has ranked Lawrence 30th on its list of the 125 least-polluted "healthy cities." The results came as no surprise to city officials and student activists. "I think most of us intuitively feel like Lawrence is a healthy kind of environment," mayor David Dunfield said. The survey judged cities based on three categories: air quality, toxic releases and agricultural pollution. More than 5,500 pieces of data were considered to determine the rankings. The air quality ranking took into account Environmental Protection Agency air records along with vehicle use within the city. In its best showing, Lawrence ranked 13th in this category. EPA studies and the number of manufacturers in the city determined the toxic releases ranking. Lawrence placed 26th on this list. Melissa Hambleton, Leavenworth junior, said she thinks that students at the University of Kansas played a big part in Lawrence's ranking. As the Environmental Chair for the All Scholarship Hall Council, Hambleton constantly sees students working to protect the environment. "Students care about the earth," Hambleton said. "We ride bikes, take busses and are environmentally aware." Lawrence's poorest showing in the survey was in the agricultural pollution category. The more agricultural land near the city, the more pollution there is from pesticides and fertilizers. Lawrence came in 82nd in this area. Organic Style also divided the country into 10 regions, studying and ranking each one. Lawrence was a rare bright spot in its region, which ranked as the second dirtiest. The survey placed Lawrence in a region that covered all of Missouri, parts of Illinois, Iowa and several Southeastern states. Hambleton said Lawrence would remain a healthy city if students worked with University and Lawrence officials to promote a clean environment. Dunfield said he encouraged any collaboration that would improve the lives of Lawrence residents.

KU Events scheduled to help 'Free Peltier' campaign By Meghan Brune mbrune@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Renee Horinek first became interested when she saw the "Free Leonard Peltier" bumper stickers. Horinek, an intern for the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee, helped to organize a movie night tonight and a birthday party Friday to celebrate Peltier's 59th birthday. The movie night will be held at 7 p.m. in the Big 12 Room on level 5 of the Kansas Union. The University of Kansas chapter of Amnesty International also helped organize the events. Peltier was an activist with the American Indian Movement during the 1970s, working on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. On June 26, 1975, Peltier was involved in a shootout with two FBI agents at the reservation. Peltier was convicted of aiding and abetting in the deaths. He was given two consecutive life sentences and is serving his 28th year at the United States Federal Penitentiary in Leavenworth. Horinek, an intern with the defense committee, said the events would give people information about the incarceration of Peltier and what they can do to help his cause. Amnesty International and the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee have worked to clear Peltier of what their members believe was a wrongful conviction. Tonight's event includes a screening of the movie Incident at Ogalla, which details the events before and after his arrest. Anna Gregory, co-coordinator of KU Amnesty and a member of The University Daily Kansan's editorial board, said the movie night would answer students' questions about the case. Gregory said that the birthday party Friday would be more for celebration. The party will be held at Watson Park, 6th and Kentucky streets, at 6 p.m. "We want to make sure that Leonard knows he has support," Gregory said. Delanie Bruce, co-coordinator for the Defense Committee, said she became involved after reading Peter Matthiessen's biography of Peltier, In the Spirit of Crazy Horse. Bruce said she remembered when Peltier was convicted. "I went on with my life, I raised my kids," she said. "But I was appalled." A Denver circuit court judge will hear an appeal for Peltier on Sept. 19. The Defense Committee has arranged several media events in conjunction with the hearing, including a panel speaking event that will include members of the Defense Committee and Peltier's family. Without this appeal, Peltier's case would not be up for parole consideration until 2008. —Edited by Joey Berlin CYCLISTS:Keg tapped, festival began after ride CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A "It's about being outside," Winn said. "Too many people turn 16, get a driver's license and never ride their bike again." The Lawrence Mountain Bike Club and Trips for Kids, two local nonprofit cycling groups, split the profits from this year's tour. Dan Brobst, event coordinator for the Lawrence Mountain Bike Club, said Tour de Fat was his group's major fundraiser. "We make enough to keep us rolling." Brobst said. The University of Kansas Environs were also on hand to sell Tour de Fat T-shirts and educate riders about recycling. The group got to keep 30 percent of the profits from its sales. Joe Morgan, KU Environs president, said he participated in the event because it supported his interests. "It's earth friendly." Morgan, Anthony junior said. Morgan said the money from Tour de Fat would go to booking an Earth Day speaker. Three bands, Ancient Chinese Secret, Victor Barnes and The Grand Fiasco, kept the riders rocking after their morning rides. Buffalo Wild Wings fueled the riders with wings and similar fare. Besides providing the beer, New Belgium raffled two of their limited edition bikes. Winn said the only way to get a custom New Belgium bike was to win it, or become an employee. Despite the prominence of beer at Tour de Fat, partyers rarely got out of hand, Winn said. After 36 total Tour de Fats, Winn said only three people had been asked to leave at all of Tour de Fat's events. The kegs didn't get tapped until noon, but some riders still had trouble staying on their bikes during the morning rides. A representative from Lawrence Memorial Hospital said seven riders went to the emergency room on Saturday, but all were treated for minor injuries and released.

Had Alabama only been able to pull its head out of its behind, I would have gone 10-2 and lost to only six people instead of 12 in this week's Kick the Kansas contest. Among those who were able to kick me this week were Tim Welch, Salina freshman, and Josh Shultz, Wentzville, Mo., senior, who both notched records of 11-1 compared to my 9-3 mark. sports commentary Welch was an unfortunate victim of the random game of the week. His blind prediction of Alabama State over Bethune-Cookman turned out to be his poison, but Shultz was given his one and only loss by the Jayhawks, who he said betrayed him a week ago. "I picked them last week and they lost," Shultz said. "My wife did the exact opposite, and I went against her vote."

Edited by Neeley Spellmeier Chiefs win opener against Chargers The Associated Press It looks like the Chiefs got the job done. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Both San Diego and Kansas City set out over the winter to improve a dreadful defense. Hounding Drew Brees all day long, the Chiefs' defense was dominant through the first three quarters in a 27-14 victory yesterday over its AFC West rivals. Priest Holmes, showing off his surgically repaired hip, had two touchdowns as the Chiefs posted a 24-0 halftime lead. LaDainian Tomlinson, the Chargers' star running back, had a miserable day, getting only 34 yards on 13 carries. Wide receiver David Boston, San Diego's KC biggest offseason acquisition, caught only two passes for 20 yards. And the Chiefs' Vonnie Holiday, the free agent defensive end who was signed specifically to provide a much-needed outside pass rush, had three sacks in the first half. "We have a talented defense," Holliday said. "Our front four, those guys are big, strong and can run. Those linebackers, those guys are all over the place. There was no place for (Tomlinson) to go. We swarmed to the ball." All in all, it was a smashing debut for a defense that was rebuilt after finishing dead last in the NFL last year. "Everyone said, 'Vonnie has a good reputation for being an inside rusher,'" said Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil. "I'll go back to what I said — I think he can improve his outside rushing, and I think he demonstrated that today." Brees finally got untracked in the second half, tossing touchdown passes to Josh Norman and Eric Parker, who made a great leaping catch in the end zone between two defenders. But Hicks and Greg Wesley stopped Tomlinson on a key first- and 1. And Shaunhard Harts intercepted Brees' pass just under the 2-minute mark. "I told the club coming in here that we were going to take some body blows early in this ballgame," said San Diego coach Marty Schottenheimer. "I told them we'd have to withstand that and come back and we did that. We just didn't come back far enough." All in all, it was a good day all around for the Chiefs, although the offense sputtered in the second half. "Don't say the offense was in midseason form," said rightguard Will Shields. "We were in early-season form. We have a lot of work to do."

Oklahoma won at Alabama 20-13, utilizing a trick play to add a late touchdown. Oklahoma had a 13-10 lead and was forced into a fourth-and-11 situation when coach Bob Stoops called a fake. Blake Ferguson tossed a 22-yard Q rossed a 22 year pass and Jason White took the offense the rest of the way down the field to add the clinching touchdown. "We felt if they would be that reckless off the corners we would use it." Stoops said. "In games like this on the road, you need to make things happen." White passed for 259 yards and two touchdowns, while the Sooner defense added five sacks and two interceptions. Colorado used a fourth quarter score to overcome UCLA 16-14. The victory put the Buffaloes at 2-0 with nonconference matchups against Washington State and Florida State on the horizon. In arguably the weekend's most exciting Big 12 game, Texas A&M slipped past Utah 28-26. Utah scored all 26 of their points in the second half, including a 45-yard touchdown pass from Brett Elliott to John Madsen with eight seconds left in the game. The Aggies dug in and stopped Elliott short on the two point conversion to win the game. Kansas State beat up on another nonconference foe, winning 55-14 over Division 1-AA McNeese State. Ell Roberson threw his fifth touchdown pass of the season, but hurt his wrist and left the game. He was off limits to the media afterwards. Darren Sproles added 101 yards on 14 carries. The star of the game was Rashad Washington, who had two interceptions, including one he returned for a touchdown, and a blocked punt which set up another score. Nebraska used strong defense and a 16-point second half to slide by Utah State 31-7 and Brad Smith racked up 229 yards of total offense in the first half as Missouri defeated Ball State 35-7. Smith left the game near the end of the first half with a concussion. BJ. Symons had another big game,throwing for 418 yards and five touchdowns while running for another as Texas Tech defeated New Mexico 42-28. Red Raider safety Ryan Aycock intercepted two passes,giving him three for the year. Oklahoma STATE UNIVERSITY CU Oklahoma State rebounded from last week's loss to Nebraska by defeating Wyoming 48-24. Tatum Bell ran for a career-high 215 yards and Rashaun Woods added 152 yards receiving to become Oklahoma State's all-time leader in receiving yardage. Oklahoma State led 41-7 in the third quarter when they sat quarterback Josh Fields, Bell and Woods for the rest of the game. Wyoming quarterback Casey Bramlet had 306 yards and three touchdowns in the loss. Iowa State used 34 first-half points to defeat Ohio 48-20. Austin Flynn had 330 yards of total offense in the win. The offense looked much more efficient than in last week's 17-10 victory over Division 1-AA Northern Iowa. F The only Big 12 loss of the weekend belonged to Baylor, who lost 52-14 to North Texas. Baylor turned the ball over on six baylor turned of their seven possessions in the first half. The other possession was when the quarterback took a knee to end the half. The Bears also lost the opening kickoff when nobody opted to field the kick and Johnny Quinn fell on the ball at the 13 for North Texas. "It's a step backwards," Baylor coach Guy Morriss said. "Nobody can overcome six turnovers." Baylor dropped to 0-2 with the loss. Some Big 12 games to watch for this week include: Washington State at Colorado, Arkansas at Texas, Iowa at Iowa State, Fresno state at Oklahoma, and Penn State at Nebraska.

The Associated Press ANAHEIM, Calif. — Paul Abbott is exactly where he wanted to be. Abbott combined with two relievers on a five-hitter and the Kansas City Royals got home runs from Aaron Gueli and rookie Ken Harvey to beat the Anaheim Angels 3-0 yesterday. The Royals remained three games behind Minnesota and Chicago in the AL Central race after earning a split of the four game series. Abbott (1-0) earned his first major league win since April 13, 2002. He had shoulder surgery in the summer of 2002. "It's probably better off for me to come back in this kind of situation, because I have to pitch well right away — instead of feeling my way around the arm surgery." Abbott said. "We're in a pennant race, which is something I hadn't been a part of since I was healthy. So it's like not missing a beat — in terms of the circumstances. Now I have to put a premium on pitching, which is a plus for me." Abbott helped pitch Seattle to the ALCS in 2000 and 2001. Royala **royals 3** **angels 0** **next:** indians @ **royals** **records:** royals 73-69 indians 62- 81 2006 and 1988. The Royals got him Aug. 8 from Arizona after he began the season with the Diamondbacks' Triple-A team in Tucson. "I thought I'd be back around the middle of May," Abbott said. "I talked to some guys who have had labrum surgeries, and they said they were back in 6-8 months. I didn't get back until over a year, so it was frustrating." In his fifth start with the Royals, Abbott allowed five hits over seven innings while striking out three and walking none. He's allowed just two earned runs and seven hits in 17 1-3 innings over his last three starts. Had Abbott kept his pitch count down, manager Tony Pena said he would have allowed the 10-year veteran to try for his first shutout in 90 career starts. But he spent 13 pitches during one at bat by Scott Spiezio, who fouled off eight straight pitches before grounding out to second in the third inning. "My pitch count would have been in half if it wasn't for that atbat," Abbott joked. "I told him, 'Next time, just tell me where you want it.' I got him on a fastball down the middle. That one confused him, I guess." Jeremy Affeldt pitched a perfect eighth and D.J. Carrasco closed for his third save in five chances. Guiel, who hit his first career leadoff home run last Thursday against Arizona's Randy Johnson, did it again against John Lackey (9-14). shutouts. The Royals, who haven't won a season series from the Angels since 1996, won only three of the nine meetings this year against the World Series champions. All three wins were He tucked a 1-2 pitch just inside the right-field pole for 14th of the season and 10th on the road. "I had him where I wanted him, but I just missed my spot with the pitch," Lackey said. "I tried to go up and in, and I put it down and in." Joe Randa followed with a single, and would have been forced at second on Mike Sweeney's potential double-play grounder to third. But second baseman Adam Kennedy crossed the bag before catching Shawn Wooten's throw, and all hands were safe as Sweeney beat the relay to first. The Royals converted Kennedy's error into an unearned run when Lackey threw a wild pitch and Carlos Beltran hit a sacrifice fly. How come nobody wanted to storm the field with me after the game?

Corrections Kansas football team gaining on Big 12 competition The Kansas vs. UNLV breakdown published in The University Daily Kansan on Sept. 5 was compiled by Kevin Flaherty, JJ Hensley and Shane Mettlen. Kansas looked like a Big 12 team on Saturday night. Always maligned for their lack of competence when it comes to pigskin athletics, the Jayhawks are starting to field a team that should make fans proud before too long. Just last season, Kansas was 2-10, and went the whole season without winning a single Big 12 game. sports commentary Kevin Flaherty kflaherty@kansan.com ranked dead last in the ESPN Division 1-A football rankings. The week of the Tulsa game, Kansas was ranked as the seventh worst team in the poll. But no longer. The Jayhawks showed their potential on Saturday. Bill Whitmore threw for 270 yards and rushed for 65, while a backfield combination of Clark Green and freshman John Randle ran for a combined 194 yards. This year's Kansas team is stronger and faster. More importantly, the talent gap between the Jayhawks and the rest of the Big 12 is getting smaller. The offensive line blew open holes that enabled the running backs to scamper for almost six yards per carry. "It was shocking," Jamaal Brimmer, UNL safety said. The defense showed big play potential, although they did allow 421 total Rebel vards. Gabe Toomey had 18 tackles in two games, and returned an interception for a 29 yard touchdown. Mark Mangino said Toomey, an Oklahoma transfer, would be getting playing time for the No. 1 ranked Sooners if he were still there. Even more than his impressive athletic ability, Toomey brings attitude to a once soft Kansas defense. With eight minutes left to go in the fourth quarter, Toomey slammed UNLV quarterback Kurt Nantkes to the ground and forced an incomplete pass. Instead of helping the fallen opponent off the ground, Toomey stepped right over him. Expect an improvement in the defensive line when Travis Watkins and Chuck Jones get back to full speed. The defensive backs too, will get better with time. Credit Mangino with the turnaround. He took over a depleted program and brought in several talented recruits who are now shaping his program into what could turn out to be something impressive. If Kansas wins their next two games against Wyoming and Jacksonville State, Missouri better look out. Kansas is no longer a door mat.

Both teams swept the Bob Timmons Invitational Saturday, held at Rim Rock Farm north of Lawrence. Propelled by junior Megan Manthe, who won the women's 5k race, and freshman Benson Chesang who finished second in the men's 8k event, the teams cruised to easy victories. "The meet was a good start for our team, it's a great confidence booster," junior Chris Jones said. The meet was the team's only home event this fall. Chesang was neck and neck with the eventual winner, sophomore, Joseph Boit of Cloud County Community College, for the last few miles of the race. Chesang moved ahead as they moved through the 4-mile marker, but his lead was short-lived. Chesang took the lead again during the final 300 meters, but Boit sped past Chesang to win at a time of 25:16.34. Chesang was less than one half second behind. "The meet was a good start for our team. It's a great confidence booster." Chris Jones junior "Going into the meet we were really unsure who our number one runner would be," sophomore Cameron Schwehr said. "His (Chesang's) performance will help push our whole team to get better and hopefully close the gap between our top three runners and our four and five runners." Chesang, who is from Kenya, performed well in his first meet as a Jayhawk. Four of the Kansas men's runners were in the top 10, including Jones, who finished fifth, Schweir, who finished sixth, and senior Dan Ferguson, who finished tenth. rugason, who insisted the men's team finished with 26 points, which was 47 points better than the second place team, Cowley College. Rim Rock proved challenging for the runners, as they struggled to climb its tough hills. "When you compare your times from later races to those at Rim Rock, it is amazing to see the difference and how much better the times are at other courses," Schwehr said. Manthe dominated the women's field, winning by nearly twenty seconds in 18:38.87 over Cloud County's Jolene Mick. Senior Paige Higgins finished third for KU, and seven of the Kansas women's runners were in the top ten. The women's team had 20 points, crushing the second place team Butler County, who had 63 points. Scores are determined by the top five place finishers on each team. The Jayhawks' top five were first, third, fifth, sixth and eighth. Up next for the Jayhawks is the Kansas State Wildcat Invitational in Topeka Saturday. — Edited by Joey Berlin By Mike Norris norris@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Volleyball defeats Dayton Jayhawks win in five games, earn invitational title Sarah Rome, senior outside hitter, joined Correa on the All- Jana Correa, freshman outside hitter, earned the tournament's most valuable player award after averaging 3.69 kills per game, and 2.69 digs per contest. Correa said the crowd of nearly 1,300 Minnesota fans wasn't a factor because of her confidence in herself and her teammates. The Kansas volleyball team came from behind in two matches to win the Nike Volleyball Invitational Saturday in Minneapolis. After a hard-fought 3-2 victory against the University of Minnesota, the Jayhawks knocked off Marquette 3-0 and Dayton 3-2 to capture the tournament crown. Kansas trailed 2-1 in both five game matches. "This was one of the most competitive tournaments we've played in," said coach Ray Bechard. "We fought extremely hard. It was a great weekend for Jayhawk volleyball." Tournament team after posting 3.85 kills per game to go along with 3.3 digs per game, Rome, who grew up in the Minneapolis suburb of Eagan, earned the alltournament honors in front of family and friends. "It was an unreal experience," she said. "To have the team play the way they did, I'm so proud of everyone." In KU's opening match, the team lost the first game to the 13th ranked Gophers 30-20, and later fell behind two games to one. But the Jayhawks fought back with a 30-20 victory in game four, finally defeating Minnesota 15-10 in the decisive game five. On Saturday, Kansas defeated Marquette 3-0 behind the strong play of Ashley Michaels, junior middle blocker, and Josi Lima, sophomore middle blocker. The Jayhawks wrapped up the tournament in come-from-behind fashion after defeating Dayton 3-2. The team trailed again after a 30-18 loss in game Michael's had a match-high .476 hitting percentage and both olavers tallied 12 kills. three. After a game-four victory, the jayhawks ended the match with an 11-4 run to finally put Davton away 15-12 in game five. The two comeback wins may have stunned Minnesota and Dayton, but they came as no surprise to Lima. "I don't think our team ever gives up," she said. "When we are down we just keep pushing harder and harder; more and more." Ashley Bechard posted a career-high 65 assists in the Dayton match. She filled in for Andi Rozum, sophomore setter, who is still out with an injury. On the defensive side Jill Dorsey, junior defensive specialist, averaged 4.07 digs per game and Abbie Jacobson, senior outside hitter added 2.69 digs per game. The Jayhawks will look to extend their winning streak to four on Wednesday when they host Oral Roberts in the home opener. After a day off the team will then host the Hampton Inn/Jayhawk Classic at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center on Friday. Soccer team wins one, loses one against Wisconsin teams By Nikki Nugent nnuget@kansan.com Kansan Sportswriter - Edited by Michael Owells The University of Kansas women's soccer team is breaking records this season. Kansas coach Mark Francis said he thought the team played well. Kansas defeated the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 3-0 on Friday, moving its season record to 3-0-0, and giving it the best start in school history. score because it does a lot for their confidence," he said. "It was nice for the freshmen to The Jayhawks dominated the game early, out-shooting the Panthers 8-2 in the first half. Goalkeeper Meghan Miller, Seattle junior, recorded her second shutout of the season and the 10th of her career. Miller is one shutout away from tying the career shutout record held by Jen Fecke, who played for Kansas from 1996-1998. Nikki Alvarez, Wichita freshman, scored with an assist from Lauren Williams, Laguna Niguel, Calif. junior, for the first Jayhawk goal in the 20th minute of play. Caroline Smith, Edina, Minn. sophomore, then struck for Kansas on an unassisted goal in the 27th minute, recording her sixth goal of the season and 18th of her career. Smith tied Kansas' career goals record in Friday's game. Jessica Kilpatrick, Englewood, Colo. freshman, scored the Jayhawks final goal off a pass from Williams during the 55th minute. Both Alvarez and Kilpatrick recorded their first career goals in Friday's game. Francis said it was good to see contributions from various players because it allowed the coaches to rest some starters. The Jayhawks then traveled to Madison on Sunday to take on the University of Wisconsin. The team recorded its first loss of the season, falling to the Badgers 3-2. "We made some mistakes and got punished for them," Francis said. "We played well, but they are a good team and you can't make mistakes against a good team." Smith scored first for the Jayhawks in the 23rd minute off an assist from Rachel Gillfillan, Cottage Grove, Minn. junior. Two minutes later the Badgers scored on a header off a corner kick. Smith scored her eighth goal of the season in the 41st minute off an assist by Lacey Woolf, Urbandale, Iowa senior. With 25 seconds remaining in the first half, Wisconsin scored off a mishandle by Miller. The teams were tied 2-2 at halftime. The Badgers went on to score for the final time in the second half. With four minutes remaining in the game, Smith won the ball from Wisconsin goalkeeper Stefani Szczechowski in the box. Smith was able to get the shot off, but a Badger defender stopped the game-tying shot. In 19 games, Smith owns the career record with 20 goals. The lahwacks record sits at 3-1-0. The Jayhawks play Southwest Missouri State at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Cooper Sports Complex in Springfield, Mo.

PAGE 8A sports commentary 12A The University Daily Kansan PARKER Monday, September 8, 2003 Shane Mettlen smettlen@kansan.com 'Hawks rebound from loss Early in the second quarter of Kansas 46-24 victory over the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, Kansas freshman receiver Charles Gordon took the kind of shot a lot of football players don't recover from. After signaling for a fair catch while waiting to receive a Rebel punt, Gordon played sitting duck and was drilled on an illegal hit by UNLV's Dereck Olson. It looked strikingly similar to a play two years ago when a Southern California player nailed former Kansas State return man Aaron Lockett rendering him shaken and gun-shy for the remainder of the season. It looked similar except that Gordon, the redshirt freshman wide receiver and punt returner, wasn't shaken a bit. In fact, he was back on the field, grabbing a 19-vard reception, on the very next play. That sequence was a perfect example of the attitude coach Mark Mangino's Jayhawks bring to the field: if you get knocked down, get right back up. "We're always worried about the next play." Gordon said. "If we have a bad one we always just try to forget about it and move on to the next play." It would have been easy for the Jayhawks to have folded after dropping the opener. It seemed to be a Kansas tradition: come into the season with high hopes, suffer a disappointing loss to start the season and pack it in for the rest of the year. On Saturday though, Kansas looked poised to buck that trend. That's precisely why Kansas was able to rebound from a tough loss to Northwestern and blow out a UNLV team that had its way with the Jayhawks last year. Clark Green eluded a Rebel defender as he took off down the middle. Green ran 19 times for 117 total yards. "In the past people would kind of put their head down after a big play, but that's not the case any more," sophomore line-backer Banks Floodman said. "We move on to the next play because the next play is always the most important play." It's that kind of outlook on the game that separates Mangino's Jayhawks from former coach Terry Allen's Kansas teams. No one can attest to that more than Floodman, one of the few Allen recruits left in the Kansas starting lineup. But Mangino and his team picked themselves up, dusted off and played the most dominant quarter of football a Kansas team has played in recent memory, capped off by Toomey, returning an interception for a touchdown. It would have been easy for Kansas to revert to its old ways. The first half of Saturday's game wasn't the blowout the final score indicated. In the first half, Kansas committed silly penalties and killed two drives with turnovers. Sophomore linebacker Gabe Toomey left the game clutching his right shoulder and the Rebels had 299 yards of total offence Quarterback Bill Whittemore struggled against Northwestern, but was responsible for four touchdowns Saturday. Kicker Johnny Beck was in a slump his entire sophomore season, but made every kick he attempted Saturday. This team will get knocked down again this season. It still faces a long and brutal Big 12 Conference schedule where it's sure to hit some bumps along the way. The defensive line still has trouble stopping the run and the offensive line will face tougher challenges. But now when the 'Hawks do get knocked down we can all expect to see them get back up. 30 Jayhawks rout Rebels Mettlen is a Lucas senior in journalism. John Nowak/Kansan By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter The drought in Kansas football has lasted for nearly eight years, but the Jayhawks finally got a taste of paydirt Saturday night with a 46-24 victory over the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. After trailing 17-16 going into the half, a 23-point blitzkrieg attack in the third quarter paced the Jayhawks to their first victory since Sept. 28, 2002 at Tulsa. Quarterback Bill Whittimore put to rest any doubts as to whether he could regain his form of a year ago by completing 22-of-31 attempts for 270 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also rushed for another score. Despite Whittemore's return to his top form of a year ago, he believed the team's most important accomplishment was getting used to a winning feel. Helping the cause was a raucous crowd of 33,980 at Memorial Stadium, giving the Jay-hawks a boost. "Just tasting victory is going to put us on the right track," Whittemore said. "I've never seen Memorial Stadium like I saw it tonight. People say they've seen more people in the stands, but I don't know if it's been louder than it was." After allowing the Rebels to gain 297 total yards of offense in the first half, the Kansas defense buckled down, allowing only 44 yards and intercepting two passes in the third quarter. The Jayhawks started the game with a one-yard touchdown toss from Whittemore to senior tight end Denver Latimore on their first possession. The touchdown followed an 82-yard punt return by freshman receiver Charles Gordon. The Rebels then answered with a 21-yard Dillon Pieffer field goal and a 60-yard touchdown run by senior tailback Larry Croom. With three of Johnny Beck's four field goals coming in the first half, the Jayhawks were able to hang tight going into the locker room. In the third quarter, Kansas dropped a bomb on UNLV that nobody expected. After another Beck field goal gave the Jayhawks the lead, Kansas junior cornerback Remuise Johnson intercepted his first pass of the year, halting UNLV at the Kansas three-yard line. The Jayhawks then orchestrated a 10-play, 97-yard drive that ended with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Whittemore to junior receiver Brandon Rideau. Rideau ended the night with a careerhigh in receptions, netting six catches for 61 vards. Just over two minutes later, Whittemore hit junior receiver Mark Simmons on a 39-yard strike for his third touchdown toss of the night. Then, on the third play of UNLV's ensuing drive, sophomore linebacker Gabe Toomey intercepted UNLV quarterback Kurt Nantkes and hauled 29 yards to the end zone, capping off a third quarter that all but put the game out of reach. "We needed this and the kids really needed this." Mark Mangino Kansas Head Football Coach "We needed this and the kids really needed this," coach Mark Mangino said. "We did make some mistakes that we will fix on Monday, but we are going to enjoy this one tonight." Along with Whittimore spreading the defense out with precision passing, sophomore Clark Green and freshman John Randle took care of the groundwork. Green hit the century mark in rushing for the first time this season, with 117 yards on 19 carries, while RANDLE, in only his second game as a Jayhawk, chipped in with 77 yards on nine carries. The defense's brightest spot continued to be the sophomore linebacking corps of Nick Reid, Banks Floodman and Toomey. Along with Toomey's touchdown, the three combined for 33 tackles. Putting numbers aside, Floodman attributes the linebackers' success to the blue-collar attitude that has continually won NANTKES 7 KY IIDM John Nowak/Kansan Middle linebacker Gabe Toomey made a pancake out of UNLV quarterback Kurt Nantkes during the closing minutes of the game. Toomey was injured early in the game but still managed two solo tackles and four assisted tackles. SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 7A Kansas' speed surprises Rebels' coach By Kevin Flaherty kflaherty@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter John Robinson had few answers for University of Nevada-Las Vegas' effort Saturday night. The UNLV coach spoke softly through his postgame press conference, often answering reporter's questions with "I don't know." UNLV He was a bit more frank at the start of the press conference. "We just got our butts kicked." Robinson said. thought UNLV's team speed could be a major difference in the game. After the game, he said that he was surprised by the speed of the Jayha A year removed from a 31-20 victory over the Jayhawks in Las Vegas, the Rebels allowed 546 yards of total offense in the 46-24 Kansas victory in Lawrence. "In the third quarter, they got faster and we got slower," Robinson said. "They played with passion, and they played aggressively." The third quarter saw UNLV's 17-16 halftime lead turn into a 39-17 Kansas advantage. Robinson said earlier this week that he Kansas junior place-kicker Johnny Beck started off the quarter with his fourth field goal of the game. Then on a UNLV first and 10 from the Kansas 39 yard line, Kansas senior cornerback Remuise Johnson intercepted a pass from UNLV junior quarterback Kurt Nantkes, Kansas senior quarterback Bill Whittmore then led the team on a 10-play, 97-yard drive that ended with a 12-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Brandon Rideau. On Kansas's next possession, Whittimore hit Mark Simmons with a 39-yard touchdown pass to increase the score to 32-17. Just 22 seconds later, Kansas linebacker Gabe Toomey celebrated in the end zone after returning a 29-yard interception for a touchdown. The lead was 21. Nantkes told reporters he didn't feel like he was throwing the ball badly after the first interception. "The ball felt good coming out of my hand," Nantles said. "I didn't feel like I was in a funk." The UNLV offense did rack up 421 UNLV senior running back Larry Croom had 128 yards rushing and two touchdowns in the first half but injured hisigh early in the third quarter and didn't return to the game. yards, including 244 rushing yards, but 297 of those yards came in the first half. The Rebels only managed 44 total yards in the third quarter. Sx meanwhile, the Jayhawks gained 202 yards in the quarter. Croom said the Rebels' failed to play with attitude. "We didn't come in with the eye of the tiger like we did last week." Croom said of the Rebels' 28-18 victory against Toledo. "Our defense is solid. We have a solid game plan.

Dear Jayhawk, you can go abroad Have you thought about studying abroad? Not sure if it's for you? I hear many of the same reasons given for not considering study abroad over and over: I don't know a foreign language. Study in English is widely available, both in English- and non-English speaking countries. Read about Bailey Skiles experience inside this edition of Jayhawks Abroad. She spent a semester taking courses in English at Hong Kong University. I'm not a humanities major. Study Abroad is not only great for language or Art History majors, it's a wonderful part of many students academic careers. Professor W. H. (Bill) Breckenridge, a Chemistry Professor at the University of Utah and a KU alum, has written an article entitled "Why Should Science Majors Study Abroad." In it he shows what an important impact study abroad can have on your career, whether you are studying international business, or in his case, chemistry. I'm not sure I want to spend a whole semester or year abroad. In addition to a wide variety of semester and year programs, KU offers over 30 summer programs and a growing number of one to three week programs over Winter and Spring break. Check out the article on the Spring and Winter Break programs that will be offered this year I can't afford it. Program costs vary, but study abroad does not have to be prohibitively expensive. It is important to know, too, that federal financial aid is normally applicable to study abroad programs, and that in most cases KU scholarships and grants may be applied to your study abroad program fee. Scholarships from the Office of Study Abroad are available, as well as scholarships from certain departments. KU offers over 100 study abroad and exchange programs in approximately 50 countries and 20 different languages all over the world. With so many options available, I encourage you to find out if study abroad is right for you. To begin your search, I encourage you to come to our study abroad fair on Wednesday, September 10, from 9:30 to 3:30 in the Kansas Union. There you will have the opportunity to pick up information about our programs and visit with students who have just returned from study abroad. We look forward to seeing you soon! Stacie Vincent Outreach Coordinator Office of Study Abroad 2 Jayhawks Abroad Fall 2003 Why Should Science Majors Study Abroad? by Professor W. H. (Bill) Breckenridge Professor of Chemistry University of Utah Salt Lake City, Utah It seems almost like yesterday, but forty years ago I was finishing my bachelor's degree in chemistry at K.U. I had done pretty well, actually, and had been accepted into every major chemistry graduate Ph.D. program in the U.S., including Harvard and Stanford. But I had also applied for a Fulbright Fellowship for graduate study in chemistry for a year in England. I came to K.U. as a naive kid from small-town Kansas (Louisburg), and because of a family background in the humanities (both my parents had degrees in English), as well as two exceptionally good high school English teachers who encouraged me, I had vague ideas about majoring in English myself at K.U. But then I took the first-semester Freshman Honors course in chemistry from F. S. (Sherry) Rowland, who would go on to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery and interpretation of the stratospheric ozone layer problem with freon gases. I was hooked! (I had been interested in science in high school as well, and was selected to attend the Summer Science and Math Camp at K.U. in 1958, which greatly increased that interest). I ended up eventually being a chemistry major at K.U., and I did undergraduate research with Professor Rowland and his group, but I kept taking English and humanities courses until my senior year, when I finally decided it would be chemistry, not English, for me. I have never regretted that decision. But my studies in the humanities (and in chemistry) had opened up a fascinating new intellectual world for me that I hadn't even imagined in a small-town high school atmosphere. So, I thought, what if I move even further from my "small town" academic roots, and go from a good state university like K.U. to a country like England, where the "groves of academe" had been flourishing for many centuries? It was an interesting (although perhaps still a naive) idea, but when I won the Fulbright Fellowship, I decided I'm gonna do this! This was despite the advice of some science professors who said it would just delay my getting my Ph.D. in chemistry by about a year. They were right, it did! But looking back on it now I am so glad I ignored their advice. I sailed on the Queen Mary (what an adventure for a kid from Kansas!) from New York to Southampton in August 1963, to begin my year as a Fulbright Fellow at the University of Leeds in northern England. This is supposed to be brief, so I will just say upfront that the Fulbright year totally changed my life. I worked in the labs of Professor Sir Fred Dainton, F.R.S. (Professor Dainton had been recommended by Professor Rowland), under the direct supervision of a wonderfully friendly and helpful young Australian academician, Dr. Don Baulch (we still correspond). I learned that year how to do research all on my own (in the field of physical chemistry which was to become my life's scientific work), and a paper was published on that research (I later found out that this was unusual for one year's work by a beginner like me...) I also learned, by "immersion' (there were probably only three or four Americans in the entire large, northern city of Leeds in 1963-64!), the English culture (including grooving on the Beatles, who hadn't yet journeyed to America), and saw some very interesting differences between the stratified upper to lower class structure in England and the huge, amorphous middle-class structure in America at the time, etc., etc. It is one thing to read about this sort of thing, but quite another thing to experience it first hand, by actually living in a foreign country. I was also able, in that Fulbright year, to travel to other parts of Europe as a student (sometimes with other Fulbrights in Europe from K.U. that year), further enriching my knowledge of different cultures (so many good stories, not enough space to tell them here!). Partially because of this Fulbright experience, after my Ph.D. work at Stanford University, I returned to England for a year in 1969 as a NATO postdoctoral fellow at Cambridge University, and had another absolutely wonderful year -- Cambridge is a delightful city. Finally, I have spent two sabbatical years in Germany and France (it is a different, and in many ways, much more enriching experience (although initially more difficult), to live in a country where the spoken language is not English). Again, so many stories... I have also established an on-going collaborative research relationship with scientists at Saclay, just outside Paris, and return for visits to Paris now essentially every year (hey, it's a tough job, but somebody has to do it!). In conclusion, that Fulbright year in England in the early 1960's was very beneficial to me, both in enriching my cultural knowledge and broadening my views to global from provincially local (we need more of that, right now, I believe...). But it was also invaluable in giving me the desire and the abilities to establish fruitful international scientific collaborations, which have helped my scientific career. One example will suffice. In 1983, I had a scientific idea which I thought could be very important, but it required doing some new experiments in an area in which I had no expertise. A French scientist (my now close friend and colleague Benoit Soep) had a similar idea, and was an expert in this other area, but he had not done experiments in my area of expertise, a knowledge of which was essential in interpreting his eventual results. It was a perfect collaboration (my visit to his labs in Paris in 1985), and we performed the first detailed, successful experiments, establishing a new area of science. The scientific paper we published on these ground-breaking experiments was ranked five years later among the top 100 papers in 1986 cited by other scientists in all areas of chemistry, which was pretty remarkable for a paper in a fairly basic, specialized area of physical chemistry. I think that without my earlier experiences of traveling to foreign countries to do science, this great break-through might never have occurred. So if you are an undergraduate science major, think seriously about spending time at a university abroad. Not only will it broaden you culturally as a person, but it may also broaden your training and perspectives as a young scientist. Study abroad!

Jayhawks Abroad Fall 2003 3 Lessons With Chopsticks By Bailey Skiles, Hong Kong, China TOKYO Bailey Skiles visits a fish market near her dorm in Hong Kong. My first pair of chopsticks was salvaged from a takeout bag. A friend and I were celebrating my upcoming semester abroad when she bypassed the chopsticks, handed me a fork, and only half-jokingly added, "You can keep that for your trip to China." Like so many other friends and family members, she was supportive but a bit perplexed by my decision to study in Hong Kong. I did not speak Cantonese or know much about the culture. While these facts puzzled others, they were the very reasons I chose Hong Kong. I wanted something new, different, and completely foreign. However, as I sat there eating fried rice with a fork, I realized that I needed to learn at least one skill before leaving. I spent the rest of the summer eating with chopsticks. When I left for Hong Kong, I felt that I could use my chopsticks quite skillfully. At my first, true Chinese dinner, I learned that this was not the case. While I had learned to maneuve the distance from plate to mouth, group dinners in Hong Kong require eaters to reach across the table with their chopsticks for one of the many shared dishes. Our first course was an appetizer of oiled peanuts. To my consternation, I could not pick up a single one. As the main dishes arrived, I began to wonder if I would recognize any of the other foods. One of my dinner partners noticed my struggles and proceeded to show me a different method of holding chopsticks. Another person simply asked the waiter for a fork. "Mm goi (thank you)," I said when he brought it to me. The lessons of this meal were also the substance of my experience in Hong Kong. First, I stretched myself farther than I ever had before. I left my comfort zone in Kansas, and I refused to waste a single moment while I was away. Hikes up Victoria Peak, an extra class on Hong Kong's economy, and afternoons wandering through small neighborhoods with my camera filled my free time. Second, I learned to accept that some parts of the culture would remain difficult for me to grasp. For instance, I cannot begin to explain the process by which China's new president was chosen although I tried to understand the dynamics of this change. Third, I discovered that exploration of the unknown, whether tasting an unusual food or venturing into a Buddhist temple, oftentimes brought me unexpected fulfillment. Fourth, I began to examine my own knowledge of the world from new perspectives. Perhaps the concept that I struggled with the most was what it means to be an American. Conversations with my newfound friends from Hong Kong, France, Austria, Japan, the United States, and elsewhere prompted my internal debate. Lastly, I remained grateful for the everyday efforts of others to help me adjust. When the bank teller taught me how to pay my tuition electronically or my floormate let me know ER was one, I always followed their kindness with "Mm goi." Thank you was the first and most important expression I learned in Cantonese. I spent my last few nights in Hong Kong sorting through souvenirs and packing my suitcase. My roommate stayed awake to keep me company, and we quickly developed a simple game to pass the time. Taking turns, we would each think of something Chinese that I now needed in order to survive in America. "An umbrella for Kansas hurricanes," she offered. "A jade stamp, because I have forgotten how to sign my name," I responded. She handed me a slender, wrapped gift, "Chopsticks so you can eat." Just a few months before, another dear friend had handed me a fork with the same concern. My chopsticks and my time in Hong Kong taught me that nourishment comes from stretching, accepting, exploring, examining, and appreciating. However, their last lesson was perhaps the most poignant. We share the same needs and concerns in life, our cultures just provide us with different tools for the journey. My Pride and Joy By Lindsay Mathews, San Jose, Costa Rica Costa Rica was a part of me long before I even arrived on her lush Latina soil. I like to imagine that my love for Costa Rica and its inhabitants is not unlike the love a mother has for her children. I knew I would love it unconditionally even before I arrived, and my love would continue long after I left. The idea of studying abroad in Costa Rica was conceived in the spring of my freshman year. I felt my biological clock ticking: I needed out of Kansas. It didn't take me long to settle on the Costa Rica program. I wanted Spanish, political stability and complete cultural immersion. I began the application process in October, and it was a long two months waiting for the results. And then, in early December I heard from the Office of Study Abroad. The results came back positive! I was officially on my way to give birth to a whole new experience. Just like a mother waits for the delivery date with a strong sense of anticipation. I too sat with my bags packed long before my departure date. Before I left I would stay up late at night, snacking on bean and peanut butter burritos, imagining all of the possible situations that lay ahead. Finally on a cold early morning in late January I arrived at the airport ready to begin my adventures. 2000 15th Annual Meeting My emotions ran high during my first week in Costa Rica. I was worn out from the flight and the immediate language shock. I slept 12 hours a day and I late without an appetite. The first month flew by. Embedded within it were trips to the situation struck home. Not only was I expected to speak Spanish at home, but also in the classroom. On the timeline of my experience abroad I hit the terrible two's mark, and my walls of fortitude began to tremble. I did not throw tantrums, nor did I paint the walls of my home with beans and rice, but for a The Spring of 2003 "Grupo de Kansas." beach, volcanoes, and the rainforest. I lived in a fantasy world, in which everything around me was wonderful and exciting. As the second month came around I began school and the reality of my brief time I felt small and helpless in a bigger man's world. Luckily, time continued to pass and soon enough I was moving on to bigger and better things.I improved my Spanish comprehension level and gained confidence in all aspects of daily life. Reflecting back, my months abroad passed by like the early years of childhood. Each year was significant at the time, yet looking back it seems like one large smear of faces and words. By the end of my five and a half months I felt like I had raised a successful experience, from infancy to adulthood. And then, just as easily as it all began, it ended. With respect I buried my Costa Rican experience among the pages of my scrapbooks and journal entries. Yet still her presence in my life exists. After the end of anything one must search for closure in order to move on from one moment to the next. So I said my goodbyes, shed my tears of love, and I let go. Every once and a while I reminisce over pleasant memories, spreading Costa Rican stories throughout the Kansas prairies. And through such moments, in which I reflect back and smile, I realize I once held something beautiful within my fingers. Now I move forward, with the belief that next time I will enjoy it even more. 4 Jayhawks Abroad Fall 2003 Humanities and Western Civilization Up Close Michael Stoecker participated in the Humanities and Western Civilization Semester in Paris, France and Florence, Italy last Spring. The program consists of four integrated courses taught by KU faculty, including Western Civilization I and II, the Art and Architecture of Florence and Paris, and a course in European Culture and Society. We recently asked Michael about his semester abroad. Q: Why did you decide to go on the Humanities and Western Civilization program? Did you consider other study abroad programs? A: The thing that most influenced my decision was that I had participated in the British Summer Institute two years ago. My time on that trip was one of the most amazing periods I've had in college. So in some respects I was searching for that experience again. Plus, when viewing the details of the places we were going to visit and live, I couldn't help thinking this is as close as you can get without actually moving to Paris and Florence to reside permanently. Q: What are some advantages to taking Western Civilization I & II through this program, rather than in Wescoe Hall? A: The advantages are so numerous I wouldn't know where to begin. For the most part, all the material you are learning is there physically in front of you. When you are reading Galileo's works, they were written only blocks from where you study in Florence. You can see all of his instruments that he used to conclude his findings. That kind of proximity to the historical nature is phenomenal. Q: What fears or uncertainties did you have before you left? How did you deal with them while abroad? A: Communication was probably the biggest concern. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to adequately interact with the people of the places I was visiting. And patience was the key factor in over coming that. Q: If you could re-live your experience, what would you do differently? A: Off-hand I can't think of anything. Of course I would want more money and more time for travel. I didn't plan well financially and set off for Europe with roughly $1000 in cash for the whole semester and that disappeared fairly quickly. Q: Is your life any different, or do you see things differently now that you are back? A: Of course, my life changes daily based on just the things I see here in Lawrence, so travelling around Europe is a major defining moment. I believe I understand more about people in general now. So many things are universal between societies. PALACIO Santa Croce Square in Florence, Italy, submitted by Michael Stoocker, Humanities and Western Civilization participant. Q: What did you get out of your program that you value most? A: My living situation in Florence was very unique. I stayed with 3 other guys outside the city walls and rather far from everything. Our place was also quite barren. At first we complained slightly, but after six weeks, I loved the neighborhood we were in, out on the hill south of town, with the local merchants and citizens. It was so close to be part of the actual community. Everyone from the grocery store merchant to the local bar tender knew who we were. Q: Is there anything else that you'd like to tell other students about your experience, or about the experience of study abroad as a whole? A: Unfortunately, I saw so many "Ugly" Americans over there during our stay, and sometimes it occurred even in our own group. I myself probably perpetuated several ugly Americanisms at some point. All I can say is enjoy the places you visit for what makes them unique and try to let ao of what you think they should be by American standards. Summer Theatre in Greece by Dennis Christilles, Professor of Theatre and Film The City of Oiniades was host to the KU Summer Theatre in Greece program in the summer of 2002. The program allows students the opportunity to live for approximately four weeks in Greece while taking classes and rehearsing a play that is performed in the ancient theatre of Oiniades. Students are engaged in classes covering Greek dramatic literature, art, and Modern Greek language. A unique feature of the theatre performance is that it is performed as a bi-lingual Greece in 1997, again under the direction of Dr. Tsubaki and assisted by Dr. Dennis Christilles, to perform another play by Euripides, "Iphigenia in Tauros." Under the direction of Dr. Christilles the program returned in 2000 and 2002 to perform Aristophanes' "The Birds" and Sophocles' "Women of Trachis." In 2004, the summer of the Olympics, the program will return to produce Aeschylus' final play his Oresteia, "Eumenides." The play tells of the transformation of society from chaos and 2002 Theatre in Grecoce participants recourse Sophocles' Woman of Tuschia. [Image of a group of people in an outdoor setting, with trees and a building in the background]. English/Greek production. The summer of 2002 was the fourth time for this program. In 1990 the program, under the direction of Dr. Andrew Tsubaki, produced Euripides' "Hippolytus." The program returned to bloodshed to order and democracy. The classes and production are a large part of this program, but of even greater value is the interaction between the participants of the two cultures. The people of the City of Oiniades are particularly warm-hearted and welcoming people. At a final banquet, hosted by the generous mayor, Gerasimos Nestoratos, the group received an especially nice surprise. The mayor read the group a poem that he had written after his first trip to the United States and New York City. It was interesting for the group to hear about their own country through fresh eyes. The link between the poet and the politician is especially strong in Greece. The poem is published here for the first time in the United States. For more information on the KU Summer Theatre in Greece program, please contact Dr. Dennis Christilles at dchrist@ku.edu. For applications for the program and information on other Study Abroad opportunities contact the office of Study Abroad. NEW YORK by Gerasimos Nestoratos Mysterious, magic, enigmatic An all alive city, with so much reality And with no "pretendings." When you are over there, you don't look For the dirty sewers of history Where the supernatural doubts rise, But you just live. A city with a special face, With a unique atmosphere. A city that transforms our daily routine Into a unique experience, A city tour can be a travel through time, Through the world, The bright spirits of Sinatra, Dean Martin and Elvis Fly through its blur and blue nights. City of dreams through which you try To know the unknown. City with use of many colors City where you find happiness so many times But you shall never be happy. A city like married love Which is full of generous silence. A city that cries and tries to heal its wounds, But starts to live again. I'd like to live in that city Even if that had to be in a small, wet room And it would be fine for me to die on a seat of Broadway. Jayhawks Abroad 5 Day Trip By Whitney Rice, Leicester, England It was just supposed to be a simple day trip to a charming English town. It ended up being a day of disasters that summed up the wonky joy of study abroad with the Brits. The town of choice was Shrewsbury, which despite being named after a rodent, promised enjoyable traditional tourist recreation in the form of a castle and various teashops, etc. I should have realized the day was off to a sketchy start when the handle of the pull-chain toilet in my dorm came off in my hand (ah, British plumbing). It rained all day long, which was nothing unusual, so upon arriving at the train station in Leicester, the town in which I was studying, it was only natural to look like a drowned rat when I ran into (literally) a very attractive guy from one of my classes. After finally getting on the correct train with my two friends from Germany, we settled back to watch the English countryside stream by and maybe catch a snooze. But no. Our train stopped at Birmingham, one of the largest train stations in England, and a calm voice came over the intercom asking us to please evacuate the train immediately. So we all piled out of the train into the drizzle to discover that our train was, in fact, on fire. To add to the chaos of the situation, the authorities evacuated the entire train station into the very busy streets surrounding it. Needless to say, it was some time before we got underway again, what with the firefighters and train employees and hundreds of confused tourists and irate businesspersons milling around in the rain, causing a huge traffic jam in central Birmingham. Having obtained a fire-free train, we finally arrived in Shrewsbury and headed straight for the castle. We had read about its early Norman construction from the 12th century and were really excited to see it. For some reason that is yet unclear, this beautiful ancient castle had been transformed into...a regimental museum (read: Ode to British Imperialism). We decided to check it out anyway, and were duly fascinated by the guide who latched onto us and proceeded to describe in minute detail every single belt buckle and bayonet from the glorious campaigns of the British Empire. He could tell from my accent that I was American, and definitely thought he was the funniest guy ever when he took me over and showed me this American flag that had been captured by the British in the War of 1812. I think the guide could tell that we were somewhat less than riveted by the 800th red uniform jacket and so he sent us downstairs, directly in the path of a wedding. Here we were, jeans, backpacks, and umbrellas dripping, squelching into a room full of pastel-clad bridesmaids and flowers, with the bride waiting to enter. So we squelched back out of there and into the rain with all possible speed, and were left to ponder the following questions: 1) Why on earth would have your wedding in the basement of a regimental museum? And 2) Could it have anything to do with the massive transportation snarl back in Birmingham? We may never know. After all of that excitement, there was nothing left to do but go get some lunch and try not to get upset when my umbrella blew inside out. We took some pictures and bought some postcards, took a train back to Leicester, and then had to walk all the way back to our dorm from the train station because the buses were out of service. Despite it all, the whole day was a total blast, made all the better by the mishaps and misadventures. I had many interesting and fun experiences in England, but this one day seemed to sum up the wonkiness of living abroad for a semester. After all, collecting crazy stories to tell when you get home is half the fun of study abroad. 17 Whitney Rice visits Shrewsbury Castle in the rain. Live Love Breath, stretch, yawn... Expansion My Semester Abroad This word expresses my deepest feelings about my semester abroad. My experience in Angers, France and Europe stretched my being intellectually, physically, culturally, and spiritually. First day in Paris By Cody Jackson, Angers, France Overnight flight, sensory shock, Gare Du Nord, hot, sweaty, with bags, calm but confused. French everywhere, French, French, French! I couldn't yet speak it. Lost on the metro Lost in the rain I couldn't find the hotel. Patient and angry, I stop looking. Well, I found it and spent four days in Paris playing trumpet, jogging at dawn near the Sacre-Coeur, and hanging out in Montmarte with a Nepalese hippie. Then to Angers. Cody Jackson's language class in Angers. I spent nearly a week in this old, gray European city with no one to speak with but the rains. I grew a lot. Then school. Class was fun, long, hard, easy, boring... it was class. I was the only non-Asian in my class. Nevertheless, an English-speaking Thai/Indian man named Lek Dubey became one of the best friends I have ever had. Outside of class was for hanging out downstairs, talking, waiting for the piano, studying politics in the periodicals. Meeting the French, having to explain my country, the war, the UN, and the buffoons we've elected. Hanging in the bars and cafes, learning the culture, drinking with my friends from Japan, Germany, Spain, Scandinavia, Taiwan, England, Ireland, America, Portugal, and more. Over spring break, I spent two more days in Paris, then seven days partying with Spaniards and Italians in Barcelona. Only a few of them spoke any English or French, but the connections were coming from something greater and deeper than language. Then...rest. Two days all alone on the Mediterranean Sea. Standing on mountains, at the edge of the sea I became clearly, as clean as could be. I remember myself That boy, just a child. What radiant being, And to see, I am he. The end of my time abroad: I offered my heart to a beautiful girl from China, but She wasn't ready, and I took it away. I returned to my roots; meditation each day. I met an Iraqi, we shared on the subway. And then I returned, to home where I'll stay I will always remember those incredible times When the boy you all knew set his old self aside. New realities emerged, expanding his view Then he reclaimed the old, which then fused with the new. 6 Jayhawks Abroad Fall 2003 4 Understanding my faith in Santiago de Compostela by Elizabeth Franklin, Santiago de Compostela, Spain ... A view of the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Although I didn't realize it while considering programs, where I ended up studying is a city of at least moderate significance in my faith. Santiago's cathedral houses the alleged remains of Saint James, a martyr who was thrown from the Temple's roof and stoned after refusing to recant his teachings about Jesus as the Christ. This part of the legend strikes me as plausible and, as far as I know, is widely accepted. Nonetheless, the existence of Saint James', or Santiago's, remains in Santiago de Compostela requires one to believe that a loyal disciple, hoping to avoid the people desecrating Santiago's body, gathered his body and set sail from Jerusalem for points unknown. The boat eventually ran into the very northwest corner of Spain, at which point the disciple managed to drag Santiago's body 70 kilometers inland and bury it before dying himself of starvation, exhaustion, thirst, etc. Several centuries later, a star led someone else to Saint James's grave, and the next thing you know, Santiago de Compostela was there with a shiny new cathedral, ready to become one of Catholicism's main pilgrimage estinations. I tend to react two ways to this history. My more ordered, logical self scoffs, perhaps acknowledges it as a neat story, but insists that there's no way this happened. This self spent the semester observing the Church and reacted to Masses in another language by focusing on the ritual of Mass and how it could be generalized to so many other faiths much more than Mass as a spiritual experience. My second reaction to Santiago's tale is a winking, sort of amused acceptance, a "Sure, why not?" This self had much more success in Spain. This self felt called to give money to a beggar on the cathedral's steps, finally-found an acceptable apartment three hours later, and sees a connection between the two events. This self stopped a stranger in a cassock in the street because she wanted help finding a Spanish guide to the Mass, and ended up taken under the wing of one of the most important priests at the Cathedral. This self found a great sense of closure in going to the cathedral's adoration chapel her last morning in Santiago and finding herself mentally unable to pray in anything but Spanish. Looking at my present understanding of my faith, my semester in Spain was invaluable. Growing up in the country that pioneered separation of Church and State, a country that often didn't respect Catholics and occasionally demonized Catholicism, makes it hard for many American Roman Catholics like myself to understand just how powerful and pervasive the Church was, and is, in Europe. Sadly, my exposure to the evidence of the past also occasionally exposed me to the evidence of how poorly the Church used its power. The cathedral in Granada, a city lauded as an example of medieval harmony among Muslims, Jews and Christians, houses a prominent relief of Saint James on horseback, trampling a Moor. The Cathedral in Granada is actually in the middle of a mind-blowing mosque as a seemingly post-reconquest "so there!" on behalf of Catholics everywhere. I spent a lot of the semester feeling guilty and trying to reconcile my understanding of myself as a socially liberal, progressive Catholic and the cruelty within parts of my Catholic heritage. In the end, I reached this: I will be the first to admit that we've made mistakes. But I will also be quick to tell you how grateful I was to belong to a tradition that's so pervasive. Catholic with a little "c" means universal, and when traveling, that's how the Church felt. I'm still trying to process everything I experienced last semester. My faith life played a surprisingly large role in my life in Spain, so much so that I stayed away from Church for most of the summer to recover from such intensity. But I wouldn't take back a minute of it. I wish every Catholic could see the cathedrals and struggle to reconcile the religious passion that could have inspired so much beauty with the passivity pervasive throughout the Masses. I see so much more energy in the services and congregations here at home. In the end, I still thank God almost every day that I spent last semester abroad. Part of me is glad, though, that I'm here now for those prayers.

ECM hosts spirituality talks By Meghan Brune mbrueh@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Beads of sweat gathered on Kahil Saad's forehead as he cooked butternut squash, Vietnamese noodles and eggplant for more than 100 people. Said was putting together Veggie Lunch, a free weekly vegetarian meal for all members of the University of Kansas campus and community. Ecumenical Christian Ministries, a university community center at 1204 Oread Ave., sponsors the event. But the ECM, as it's commonly called, does more than fill the stomachs of University students and the Lawrence community. "We are not a church, we are an expression of the churches' extended ministries," the Rev. Thad Holcombe director of the ECM, said. Lisa Wilkinson, Lawrence senior, is a member of the ECM Student Leadership Team. Holcombe said the ECM was not one church, but a cooperation of four denominations — University Christian fellowship, Peace Mennonite Church, United Methodist Campus Ministry and St. Baptist Catholic Apostolic Church. The ECM began in 1905 as a "universal household." The original building was located on the University parking lot next to the Kansas Union. The current ECM was constructed in 1960. Lawrence The center provides a place to talk about Christian spirituality through educational programming. Visitors include a diverse group of people from around the world. The team monitors the ECM's programs and ensures that it meets certain goals. Holcombe said the ECM tried to project a friendly, casual atmosphere. Wilkinson said along with Veggie Lunch, sexuality education classes and the Faith Forum — a weekly group that discusses spirituality — also drew large crowds.

Kristen Reinert was hard at work, doing her online homework in the Kansas Memorial Union computer lab. "It's 10:45," the lab technician said. "We're closing in 15 minutes." Reinert, an Overland Park senior, remembers the moment with anger. 1 "You've got to be kidding me!" she said. Reinert and other students who use the union's computer lab and HawkShop convenience store have had to change their campus routines this year. The building, open 24 hours a day during the last school year, now closes at 11:00 p.m.each day. Pat Beard, union building services director, said the change had always been planned. Beard said the Union had kept its lab open with the understanding that it was a temporary solution to the need for all-hours computing services. The late-night hours were only to remain until the completion of Anschutz Library, a 24-hour facility that includes high-speed internet computers. "We saw being open 24 hours as a way to accommodate a need," Beard said. "The opening of Anschutz ended that obligation." Beard said the six-floor Union was not ideal for the 24-hour timetable. He said that while there weren't any major incidents, union management wasn't comfortable having students in the building — basically unsupervised — at all hours of the night.

"Much of anthropology is a question of gaining confidence," he said. "If I'm going to write about people's inner beliefs, I have to gain their trust." Dean lifted the beer to his lips and drank.

But Dean found that charity was still alive in Lima. Experiences like this brought Dean back to Peru. As an anthropologist, he gravitated away from the populated cities to the Amazonian jungle. There he found the Urarina, a people who had never been studied and lacked even a written language. Today, he is so well-known in the region that even small children of the tribes know his name. The evolution of this name shows that Dean has earned the Urarina's respect. Initially, natives called him a Quechua word meaning "white howler monkey" because of his skin color and loud voice. Today, Dean goes by the Peruvian name "Bartholomew Biña," his first name and an adjective meaning "wise one." SEE DEAN ON PAGE 6A MATTHEW L.

Nation Davis says comment was "joking around" FRESNO, Calif. — California Gov. Gray Davis was flanked by Hispanic law- makers as he rode in an East Los Angeles Mexican Independence Day parade Sunday. WWW.CONVERSE.COM The Democratic governor, acknowledged saying "you shouldn't be governor unless you can pronounce the name of the state," but said the comment was made in jest. The remark, reported by the Sacramento Bee, was apparently a reference to Schwarzenegger's thick Austrian accent. "I was just joking around with someone in the crowd," Davis said after the parade. Schwarzenegger, campaigning in a heavily Hispanic Los Angeles suburb, said his pronunciation of "California" was just one of the words Davis didn't like to hear. "He doesn't like 'blackouts,'" Schwarzenegger said. "He doesn't like 'energy crisis.' And he definitely doesn't like 'recall." At the Mexican Independence Day parade in Los Angeles, 42-year-old Olga Pizano said it was wrong for Davis to criticize Schwarzenegger's accent. "Only Hispanics can say it right California," she said, rolling her "r." This was Mexico. You have to pronounce the 'r'. Associated Press KU info What is an Ombudsman?

A group of people are standing nearby, observing the process. The field appears to be an open space with a flat horizon. For some students in the department of aerospace engineering the motto is simple: If at first you don't succeed, try again. Contributed Photo University of Kansas electrical and aerospace engineering students connected a high-altitude balloon system, HABS, to a weather balloon. The students launched the balloon May 3 and plan to launch another balloon at the end of this semester. Last semester engineering students created a project that would allow them to test various devices in space-like conditions. However, the students were not able to finish the project. Now a new group of students is continuing this program. In the students' senior design lab, they created an electrical device that is attached to a weather balloon used to test how well certain technologies work in high altitudes. The device the students created is a high-altitude balloon system, HABS. This system would then carry whatever equipment the students planned to test. "If you want to take something down the freeway you want to use an 18-wheeler," said Timothy Rink, Shawnee graduate student who worked on last year's HABS. "We built the 18-wheeler, but we didn't build what was inside the trailer." The system was expected to carry a transmitter, technology for the KU Balloon Experiment satellite — KUBEsat — and weather-gathering instruments, But Rink said, the equipment to be tested was not ready by the launch date. The HABS is reusable and is attached to the underside of a weather balloon. A payload can then be attached to the system. The payload, or technology that is being tested, is supposed to be attached below the HABS and could be a number of things including equipment that is tested for its ability to function in space-like conditions. Though the HABS does not control the balloon, it does take measurements about atmospheric conditions. The HABS can also trigger the balloon to explode if it goes too high. explode if it goes wrong. Students began working on the HABS project during Spring 2003 and launched the first balloon on May 3. Trevor Sorensen, associate professor of aerospace engineering, introduced the HABS idea to his design lab. Sorensen said that because of a power failure the HABS was lost for three weeks. weeks. The flight was expected to last for two to three hours and the balloon was only supposed to go as high as 10,000 feet. However, because there was no power to the HABS to make the balloon pop, the balloon rose 100,000 feet. It exploded when the pressure inside the balloon was greater than the surrounding air pressure. It was found in Missouri. Sørensen said that students in this semester's design class were working to refurbish the HABS to launch it again at the end of the semester. Edited by Abby Sidesinger Pre-meds choose time over money By Danielle Hillix dhillix@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Randy Schumacher is a premed student with a soft spot for children. "I just want to work with children," said Schumacher, Topeka senior. "It doesn't matter how good of a life I am going to lead." According to a recent study, the medical profession needs more people like Schumacher, who are willing to work odd hours. Doctors at Northwestern University and Northeastern Ohio University conducted the study, released last week. The study showed that more medical students were picking their specialty based on the lifestyle it offered rather than passion for the work or their possible salary. "The medical profession is going to have to come up with some imaginative responses to this trend," said Gregory Rutecki, one of the study's authors. Researchers conducted the study over six years. Students were surveyed about their specialty choice and the factors that affected it. Results showed that 55 percent of students' choices related to lifestyle factors, such as family time, on-call hours and work hours per week, and 9 percent based their decisions on potential income. Students are choosing the specialities that condense their work day, leaving them with more free time, Rutecki said. "Students are telling us that they want to work hard during the day; but when they leave the office, they want to be left alone." Ruecke said. Rutledge said. This has made some specialties, like optometry and dermatology, popular goals for pre-med students at the University of Kansas, said Paul Crosby, premed adviser at the University. Doctors within these specialities control their own hours and have limited on-call hours, Crosby said, leaving more time "People are thinking more about their family life separate from their profession." Crosby said. This fact points to a potential shortage of on-call specialities. The study showed that the percentage of medical students choosing family practice dropped from 16.1 percent in 1996 to 9.5 percent in 2002. The percentage of students choosing general surgery dropped from 10.4 percent to 7.6 percent. "It's going to be difficult for the medical profession," Rutecki said. "Something will have to be done." - Edited by Ehren Meditz Reusing bottles may be unsafe By Danielle Hillix dhillix@kansan.com dhillax staff writer Water is good for you. Reusing water bottles is not. Recent studies by a federal department in Canada showed several health risks associated with the reuse of plastic water bottles. Researchers found bacteria and potential cancer-causing materials in reused single-use bottles. Despite the study results, students continue to use plastic bottles for weeks at a time. Ian Ostrander, Emporia junior, always carries a plastic water bottle with him. "All you have to do is refill it and it's just as good as water you would buy from the store," Ostrander said. Not according to a study conducted in elementary schools in Alberta, Canada. Alberta, Canada The study, organized by Health Canada, tested the water in plastic bottles reused by school children. Results revealed bacteria levels that would require a boiling order if the water had come from a tap. Researchers stated in the study that the bacteria likely resulted when children repeatedly reused the bottles without washing them. But washing plastic bottles may result in additional problems. A study conducted at the University of Idaho found that washing plastic bottles intended for single use could produce cancer-causing materials. Single-use bottles are made from a type of plastic called polyethylene terephthalate. While safe for single use, the plastic breaks down when used repeatedly. Washing the bottles speeds up this process. up this process. Researchers found that as the plastic was washed and degraded, it produced DEHA. a "With any plastic container, you're going to get contaminants." Richard Ziesen Richard Ziesen Director of environmental health at the Douglas County Health Department potentially cancer-causing toxin. Water samples from repeatedly washed plastic bottles frequently contained DEHA, along with other toxins. The more the bottle was used and washed, the more toxins were found in the water Richard Ziesen, director of environmental health at the Douglas County Health Department, said that with all these health risks, reusing water bottles was a bad idea. "As a rule, I would say don't do it." Ziesen said. But toxins and bacteria haven't stopped Ostrander and other students from reusing water bottles. deents in the teaching "I would be more afraid of bacteria from public water fountains." Ostrander said. Ziesen said if water bottles were going to be reused, they should be thoroughly washed with a weak bleach solution. But even then, some dirt, bacteria and toxins will remain. "With any plastic container you're going to get contaminants," Ziesen said. "It's advisable just to buy new bottles." Buying new plastic bottles does not mean old bottles should be thrown away. The Community Recycling Center, located in the Wal-Mart parking lot at 3300 Iowa St. accepts plastic bottles labeled with a 1 or 2. "We're not discouraging recycling in any way," said Ziesen.

In case you haven't seen the numerous repeats, an opening number at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards featured both performers sharing an intimate kiss with icon Madonna. COMMENTARY Ashley Smith ominton@hansan.com For those of us who have followed this pair through the course of their fame, their childhood personalities differ substantially from the ladies we see on the stage today. Looking back at their first music videos,...Baby One More Time and Genie in a Bottle, we see two very innocent and decently dressed young women. Since then, the videos have become more and more racy, the clothing less and less altogether. So what is it that has driven these ladies so far from where they started? It goes back to the classic rule of fame: If you want to stay at the top, sex sells. When young Mouseketeers Spears and Aguilera watched their idol Madonna perform on television all those years, they were probably thinking about how incredibly talented she was, and how she completely captivated her audience. But can you see those little girls back then thinking about making out with their idol? One major threat driving has been the constant fear of competition. Not just Aguilera, on the other hand, decided to Evidence of this constant clash can always be seen at what seems to be the battle ground for the girls, award shows. Spears shocked everyone in her affectionately nicknamed "striptease" performance during the VMA's a few years ago, in which she appeared in a skin-colored body suit clad only in sparkles. This seemed a turning point for her. From there, her image became more and more exotic, from her breakdown in trying to save herself for marriage, to her breakup with Justin Timberlake due to her unfaithfulness. Spears proved her words, "I'm not that innocent." between the two, but among the seemingly constant flow of women in line to take their place. We've seen so many of them come through the line, from Spears' carbon copy Jessica Simpson, to one-hit-wonders such as Willa Ford, Spears and Aguilera must always look better, enhance their performances and have more impact than their rivals. send her shock wave through the music video Dirtry, quite possibly the most controversial in years. She topped it off with a nearly nude photo shoot in Maxim, a popular men's magazine. Since the video, she seems to have gone a little off the deep end, dying her hair jet-black and piercing herself in every place imaginable. She went on tour this summer with Timberlake just to add a little slap in the face. Although these women began by similar means and are in nearly the same place in their careers, there is one issue they dramatically split on. While Spears still outwardly clings to morality, Aguilera embraces her new naughty image. In a recent CNN interview about the kiss, Spears defended her innocent image, saying, "I think I'm still clean-living. I mean, I don't go home and have orgies or anything like that." in a recent interview with MTV, Aguilera, newly nicknamed "X-tina," fully admits her transformation. "I just get really bored with sticking to the norm and having the proper conservative image," she said. "That's just so not me." that's just so not true. So maybe pornography isn't in the cards just yet, but these two cut it pretty close. These kisses are simply the icing on the cake. From idolizing Madonna as little girls, to making out with her as adults, the MTV stunt is the final coup de grace for their corruption, all for the sake of the spotlight.

I think we can save the rest of American broadcasting, too. COMMENTARY Early this summer, the owners of KRBZ, a Kansas City alternative rock radio station also known as "The Buzz," paid attention to thousands of listeners who signed petitions and sent e-mails begging that the station's format not be changed. Astonishingly, the pleas of listeners like me were heeded. Entercom, KRBZ's parent company, left the station alone, rather than changing it to air sportstalk or country music as had been threatened. Rachel Robson opinion@kansan.com --- About the same time, the Federal Communications Commission utterly ignored the pleas of millions of listeners not to change the rules that govern media ownership. On June 2, three of the five FCC commissioners approved new rules, which would allow a few companies to own even more of the already monopolized and homogenized media market. Major media conglomerates such as Clear Channel Communications — which owns more than 1,200 radio stations and two-thirds of the concert industry in the United States — and News Corporation — which owns several newspapers and the FOX network — lobbied hard for the changes, and worked harder to ensure that the American public not know of them. In spite of the scant coverage given to the impending rule change by the mega-media, the FCC received 2.3 million comments on the issue before June 2. More than 99 percent of the comments urged that the rules not be changed. Opposition to the new FCC rules came from across the political spectrum. "When so many disparate organizations—groups ranging from the Catholic Conference to Common Cause, from the Family Research Council and the NRA to MoveOn, the Writer's Guild and NOW—when all of us are united ... either the earth has spun off its axis and we have all lost our minds, or there is universal support for a concept," said Brent Bozell, whose social-conservative Parents Television Council is part of the strange coalition fighting the rule change. The FCC didn't listen. The votes of three Republican FCC commissioners were more important than the objections of 2.3 million Americans in deciding the fate of American media, FCC Chairman Michael Powell, son of Secretary of State Colin Powell and the author of the new, conglomerate-friendly rules, magnanimously thanked those 2.3 million Americans for their input after blithely disregarding it. The Senate is expected to pass Senate Joint Resolution 17, vetoing the new FCC rules, said Barry Piatt, a spokesperson for Sen. Byron Dorgan (D.N.D.), the resolution's sponsor. If it passed, a similar bill would likely be taken up by the House of Representatives. But they can't do it without our help. The monopolists who thought they had won last June will not go down without a fight, and neither should we. We must remind our congressmen now that the public airwaves belong to American citizens, and that we have the right to determine who uses them, not three unelected, unresponsive FCC bureaucrats. But the public's wishes weren't disregarded by everyone. Before breaking for summer recess, the House of Representatives defied both its Republican leadership and the wishes of President George W. Bush and passed a bill that reversed part of the FCC ruling by a 400-to-21 vote margin. Last week, a Philadelphia federal court stayed the implementation of the new rules, preventing them from going into effect until they have been reviewed by the judiciary and legislature. The Senate will likely vote this week on a congressional veto of the FCC rules. Sign the petition at www.mediareform.net/petition, or better yet, call or email your Kansas senators and urge them to vote yes on Senate Joint Resolution I saved The Buzz this summer — sort of. KRBZ, owned by a huge broadcasting corporation, will always be in danger of an overnight format change. Entercom had to pay attention to what listeners wanted this summer because it doesn't have a total monopoly on the Kansas City area airwaves yet. But as the airwaves are controlled by ever fewer companies, the public has less say about what is broadcast to them. That's why the new FCC rules, allowing a single company to own more media than ever before, must be stopped now. 17. Sen. Sam Brownback's phone number is (202)-224-6521, or e-mail sam_brownback@brownback.senate.gov. Findl Sen. Pat Roberts' e-mail at www.roberts.senate.gov, or call him at (202)474-4774. Tell Rep. Dennis Moore at 842-9313 or Rep. Jim Ryun at (202)256-6601 to vote for legislation to stop the FCC rule changes from taking effect. The e-mail form for all representatives is at www.house.gov/writerep. Activism this summer saved The Buzz, as far as a corporate radio station can be saved. But it's more important that activism saves the airwaves themselves from further predation by corporate behemoths. Sign a petition, make a phone call or write an e-mail. We saved one radio station this sum mer. Now, let's try to save our airwaves.

But a new barber shop named The Haircut used Women of KU calendar girls, Big Jay and the Kansas City T-Bones mascot Sizzler jump on a trampoline along Sixth Street as its tactics. The antics of the new barber shop catered to young male adults and took a snip of drivers' curiosity. "The looks we got were great," Tim Childers, barber, said of the shop's back-to-school grand opening Aug. 21. "It was a great ploy. People would come in and say 'What the heck is going on out there?'" What's going on inside is hair cutting in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, Childers said. Ryan Crowell co-owns the shop, 3727 West Sixth St., with his brother, Randy Crowell. He said they got the idea two years ago when working at Sakaroff's The Salon, 12 E. Eighth St., a shop Randy Crowell owns as well. ween. "We have a very good male clientele downtown, but we just wanted to really create an atmosphere that was younger than a barber shop," Ryan Crowell said. "We want to design a place that we would like to go to."

Sticking with its "this ain't your daddy's barbershop" theme, the shop decor features four televisions, a pool table, large black Craftsman tool boxes that serve as hair-cutting stations, black leather chairs and an assortment of men's interests magazines in the waiting area. For example, Maxim and Playboy are available. And Playboy is available. The cost for a haircut is $20. which includes shampoo and scalp massage treatment. "You're not just sprayed with a water bottle and shoved out the door," Ryan Crowell said. The shop actually opened on July 21,but the store decided to pique more interest with another grand opening. Ryan Crowell said University of Kansas students make a large portion of his customer base. Young business professionals make up the rest. The shop only takes walk-ins, so clients don't have to worry about scheduling an appointment. Jeff Pickering, customer, moved to Lawrence in June, and "Guys care about their hair, but they don't make it the most important thing in their life," Ryan Crowell said. "This place had a lot of curb appeal from Sixth Street, so I gave it a shot." Pickering said. noticed there weren't a lot of barber shops in the northwest part of town. - Edited by Cate Batchelder Teachers, students ready to punish others for cheating By Maggie Newcomer mnewcomer@kansan.com m kansan staff writer It may seem easy to cheat when you're in the top row of 120 Budig Hall, but Nick Borreson is cautious. While it's difficult to police Budig's expansive classrooms, which hold hundreds of students, Borreson, Stillwater, Minn., sophomore, isn't taking any chances with his professors. "They know what they're doing," he said. during, he said. Some professors give as many as four different versions of tests or strategically place teaching assistants throughout the room, making it almost impossible for students to copy off their neighbors. For those still willing to risk copying from a classmate the University of Kansas employs harsh penalties to deter cheating. According to the KU Student Handbook, punishment for cheating could range from a grade reduction on a particular assignment to expulsion from the University. system. The honor system has been in place for seven years and has seen an average of one case of cheating "Students are tougher on other students." Keith Chauvin, associate dean of academic affairs for business, said the school had its own honor system. Keith Chauvin Associate dean of academic affairs for busi-ness per year. One of those cases resulted in expulsion. "This is something we take very seriously," Chauvin said. The honor system is set up on three levels, the highest being the Honor Court, which is made up of business students. Chauvin said faculty members were hesitant to leave students' fates in the hands of other students because they might be too lenient, but their fears were eased quickly. "Students are often tougher on other students," Chauvin said. "Because they realize it reduces the value of their educational experience when others cheat." The KU School of Law and School of Medicine have systems similar to the one used by the University's business school. versity's business. Chauvin said the school punished one student for changing an "F" to a "W" on a withdrawal sheet. The University's definition of academic misconduct includes cheating, plagiarism or helping someone else commit academic misconduct. The University's efforts have also made an attempt to curb plagiarism. Three years ago the University subscribed to www.turnitin.com, a service professors and students could use to check papers against others found on the Internet. Michelle Eodice, director of KU Writing Centers, said the decision came because of the growing popularity of the Internet and availability of essays online. Almost 100 faculty members at the University use the service, Eodice said, and it has helped catch several plagiarists. She didn't know how many students "It's a learning tool." Eodice said, "Not a 'gotcha' tool." said. Most of the cases come up because students don't understand how to properly credit sources, Eodice said. Although nearly every school at the University admitted to having problems with cheating, Eodice said KU students were among the most honest she's seen. seen. "I don't think students are willing to risk their academic careers or futures." Eodice said. More roundabouts used to help improve traffic safety Edited by Abby Sidesinger Lawrence citizens question whether traffic device works By Joe Hartigan jhartigan@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Traffic Safety Commission of Lawrence says traffic roundabouts work, and citizens of Lawrence are going to see a lot more of them. David Woosley, manager of Lawrence's Traffic Safety commission, said the traffic roundabouts the city began using in 1999 have been effective. 999 have been here and that we've had few if any accidents in areas where roundabouts are located." Woosley said. "The only ones I've heard of are single-vehicle accidents in which the driver was driving too fast around the roundabout." about. But not all Lawrence residents are supporters of the traffic devices. devices Steve Lucas, Overland Parkjior, said the new roundabout near his house at the intersection at 17th and Indiana streets didn't work "It's just kind of annoying." Lucas said. "Some people don't even slow down." Lucas said the intersection needed a stop sign, not a roundabout. about, "It's there for a just cause," Lucas said. "But I don't think it's serving a purpose." serving a purpose. Roundabouts usually consist of a circle in the middle of an intersection that forces drivers to drive around it. The drivers, who can only go one way in the roundabouts, are forced to slow down. The intersections are designed to slow traffic to safer speeds while keeping vehicles moving and reducing delay time. They are used as an alternative to stop signs and street lights, and can reduce maintenance costs of traffic signals by as much as $3,500 a year. Although Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical was concerned that roundabouts would slow fire trucks in emergency situations, Deputy Chief $5,500 a year. Roundabouts also reduce injury-producing accidents by 76 percent, according to the Lawrence Public Works Web site. "All of the roundabouts meet our minimum requirements as far as fire trucks getting through them," Bradford said. "We worked with the city from the beginning to ensure that our requirements were met." requirements Woosey said the public has begun to accept the roundabouts. begin to trust. "At first, people just didn't understand them, because they were new," Woosley said. "But now that they are used to them, we don't receive very many complaints anymore." The Lawrence Public Works Web site lists several advantages of using roundabouts. The site says roundabouts reduce fatal or incapacitating injury accidents by as much as 90 percent in the United States. Also, the reduction in delay time creates a reduction in air pollution and fuel consumption. Woosley said that several new roundabouts were on the way, including a nearly finished one at the intersection of Congressional Road and Overland Drive. —Edited by Abby Sidesinger Next semester, try something new...

KU Alternative Breaks offers students a week of service in locations across the country. Evan Stange, Wichita junior, went on an alternative winter break trip to Morehead, Ky., with a group of other KU students last year. He worked for Frontier Housing, a Kentucky organization similar to Habitat for Humanity. Stange said he took the trip because he had construction experience and wanted to do something worthwhile. When he arrived at the site, Stange said, only a foundation and basement walls were in place. He said his group had walls up and flooring down when it left. providing the skeleton for the finished home. "It was pretty fulfilling to see that much progress after only six days of work." he said. Site leader applications for this year's trips, scheduled for Jan. 11 to 17, are due Friday. Participant applications are due Sept. 17. Applications and information on trip sites are available in the alternative break office at 428 Kansas Union or the Web site, www.ku.edu/~albreaks. Of the 10 available trips this year, three are new — ABIDE Network, Mathews-Dickey Boys' and Girls' Club and the National Indian Youth Leadership Project. Jasmine Titus, co-coordinator for alternative winter break, said she was especially excited about the ABIDE program. The Newton senior said participants would have an opportunity to work in an inner-city area promoting leadership skills and analyzing inner-city problems and solutions. Alternative Breaks is not releasing site locations this year until participants have been selected. Renee Horinek, co-coordinator for alternative spring break, said withholding the locations would encourage people to pick a trip based on its mission. "At least in the past, people have gone on trips because of location," the Topeka senior said. "We hope people will choose based on social issues." Titus said initial numbers suggested the policy was working. She said trips far away usually filled the fastest, but this year people were unknowingly picking closer trips. closestrips. Funding for the trips is also changing this year. Horinek said budget cuts had limited funds for all student organizations and Alternative Breaks was forced to rely more on participation fees. The price for site leaders is now $150, a $60 increase. Participants will pay $200, a $10 increase from last year. "At least in the past, people have gone on trips because of location. We hope people will chooses based on social issues" Renee Horinek Co-coordinator, alternative spring break Site leaders receive the discount because they have more responsibility. They receive extra training before the trip and are responsible for managing the group and dealing with emergencies. Alternative Break participants are enrolled in a Thursday evening class from Oct. 3 to Dec. 11. The hour-and-a-half sessions count for zero, one or two hours of credit. Topics prepare participants for specific sites and give information on general group dynamics. Stange was the site leader for his trip and said the leadership training helped him motivate his group when cold, wet weather made working outside difficult. Stange is now a proctor at Battenfeld Scholarship Hall and said his training also helped him make sure his residents kept up with their chores. "Instead of yelling at them, I tell them we all live here together and have to work together," he said. "So those leadership skills help me with that job." Alternative Breaks applicants must sign up for an interview with an Alternative Breaks staff member. Each trip can take seven to 10 students, and staff members will narrow the number of applicants to fit the available slots. "We're looking for people interested in service learning, who are passionate and motivated to make changes," she said. Titus said the staff selected people based on their desire to help.

Reinert, whose busy class and work schedules didn't leave her time to work in the lab during the day, said these late-night sign-in hours were her favorite times to work. "There has to be at least one lab on campus open 24 hours," he said. Tom Roderick, student technology coordinator, said students such as Reinert needed an afterhours computing option. "Why our tuition go up if our benefits went down?" she said, still angry at the change in her daily routine. "I think it's stupid." Anschutz is now available at all hours, and the labs in Budig Hall are open until midnight. But Reinert is not appeased by these options. But, Roderick said this view wasn't shared by the students he talked to. He said his department had not received any complaints.

Meanwhile, Israeli helicopters launched a missile attack at the home of Hamas militant Abdel Salam Abu Musa in the Gaza Strip, wounding at least 11 people. The army said the target was a Hamas weapons warehouse inside the building, in the Khan Younis refugee camp. Sunday's attack came hours after Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said all Hamas militants were "marked for death." Several leaders of Arafat's rul. ing Fatah party confirmed the nomination by consensus of parliament speaker Ahmed Qureia, though it remained unclear if he would accept. Qureia attended the meeting Sunday night but did not comment, Fatah officials said. The parliament speaker "is our only nominee," said Abbas Zaki, a member of the Fatah central committee. Palestinian officials agreed on Arafat's suggestion of Qureia and asked him to form a new government within 48 hours, said Hanna Amireh, a member of PLO executive committee. The developments came during a day of heated negotiations set off by Abbas' resignation Saturday. Arafat had refused to grant him more power over the Palestinian security services, capping four months of wrangling between the two since Abbas took office. Qureia, a moderate who helped cobble together the 1993 Oslo accord between Israel and the PLO, was considered a top candidate to replace Abbas because he has led past negotiations and has credibility with Israel. Israeli officials didn't immediately respond to the development. Earlier in the day, there were conflicting signals about whether Abbas might be pressured to stay on. A source close to Abbas, speaking on condition of anonymity, said he would serve again only if he could work out a firm deal with Arafat beforehand on what his powers would be and who would serve in his government. Abbas himself sent mixed signals when asked about heading a new government. "It's something premature to talk about. My resignation is final," he said. The resignation dealt a serious blow to the U.S.-backed "road map" plan for establishing a Palestinian state by 2005; Israel and the United States have refused to deal with Arafat, whom they accuse of fomenting terrorism, and made Abbas, a critic of terror attacks against Israelis, their partner in peace efforts. her peace efforts. U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said any Palestinian prime minister must have clear control over security forces and use them to crack down on militant groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad. "That person has to have political authority and the determination to go after terrorism," Powell said on ABC's "This Week." Music trade group files 261 lawsuits The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The music industry's largest trade group filed 261 copyright lawsuits across the country yesterday against Internet users who trade songs online, an aggressive campaign to discourage piracy through fears of expensive civil penalties or settlements. The Recording Industry Association of America warned it ultimately may file thousands of cases. Its first round was aimed at what it described as "major offenders" illegally distributing on average more than 1,000 copyrighted music files each. Durwood Pickle, 71, of Richardson, Texas, said his teenaged grandchildren downloaded music onto his computer during their visits to his home. He said his grown son had explained the situation in an e-mail to the recording industry association. recordings I made, "I didn't do it, and I don't feel like I'm responsible," Pickle said. "It's been stopped now, I guarantee you that." Pickle, who was unaware he was being sued until contacted by The Associated Press, said he rarely uses the computer in his home. "I'm not a computer-type person," Pickle said. "They come in and get on the computer. How do I get out of this? Dadgum it, got to get a lawyer on this." An estimated 60 million Americans participate in file-sharing networks, using software that makes it simple for computer users to locate and retrieve for free virtually any song by any artists within moments. Internet users broadly acknowledge music-trading is illegal, but the practice has flourished in recent years since copyright statutes are among the most popularly flouted laws online. "Nobody likes playing the heavy," said RIAA President Cary Sherman, who compared illegal music downloads to shoplifting. "There comes a time when you have to stand up and take appropriate action." Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., has already promised "They have a legitimate interest that needs to be protected, but are they protecting it in a way that's too broad and over-reaching?" Coleman said. "I don't want to make criminals out of 60 million kids, even though kids and grandkids are doing things they shouldn't be doing." congressional hearings into how the music industry has identified and tracked the Internet users it's suing. they shouted. The RIAA did not identify for reporters which Internet users it was suing or where they live. Federal courthouses in New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas and elsewhere reported receiving some lawsuits. Sen. Edwards: not going to seek re-election The Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. — John Edwards will not run for re-election to the Senate in 2004 so he can concentrate on seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, a state party official said Sunday. The North Carolina senator wrote a letter received Sunday by state Democratic Party chairwoman Barbara Allen announcing his decision, state party executive Scott Falmlen said. "I...decided that I will not seek re-election to the United States Senate in order to devote all of my energy to running for president," Edwards wrote Allen. Edwards was first elected to the Senate in 1998 but announced in January he would seek the presidential nomination. North Carolina law allows him to run for president and Senate simultaneously and state Democratic officials were getting restless in recent months while Edwards mulled his decision on whether to run for one or two jobs. jobs. Edwards' five-paragraph letter to Allen resolves that question and lets other Democratic candidates begin building their campaigns. Edwards wrote that he and his family, on the campaign trail during the Labor Day weekend, took time "to discuss the next step in this journey." "More than ever, regular North Carolinians and people all over the country need a voice in the White House representing them," he wrote. "The problems that drove me to explore a possible campaign are even more pressing today than they were in January. "Given all of this, the decision to move forward decisively to seek the nomination was not a difficult one," he said. different one. Rep. Richard Burr, R-N.C., already has announced he will run for the Edwards seat and has built up a campaign structure that brought the seat in doubt for the Democrats. Glitches may explain lack of weapons The Associated Press No weapons of mass destruction have turned up in Iraq, nor has any solid new evidence for them turned up in Washington or London. But what about Baghdad's patchy bookkeeping — the gaps that led U.N. inspectors to list Iraqi nerve agents and bioweapons material as unaccounted for? Ex-inspectors now say, five months after the U.S. invasion, that the "unaccountables" may have been no more than paperwork glitches left behind when Iraq destroyed banned chemical and biological weapons years ago. Some may represent miscounts, they say, and some may stem from Iraqi underlings' efforts to satisfy the boss by exaggerating reports on arms output in the 1980s. 1960s. "Under that sort of regime, you don't admit you got it wrong," said Ron G. Manley of Britain, a former chief U.N. adviser on chemical weapons. His encounters with Iraqi scientists in the 1990s convinced him that at times, when told to produce "X amount" of a weapons agent, "they wrote down what their superiors wanted to hear instead of the reality," said Manley, who noted that producing VX nerve agent, for example, is a difficult process. is a difficult process. American ex-inspector Scott Ritter said he, too, was sure Baghdad's "WMD" accounts were at times overstated. "There was so much pressure put on scientists to produce world-class systems, they would exaggerate their reports back to authorities," he said. As inspectors scrutinized factories and interrogated Iraqi specialists, "you suddenly realized they weren't as good as they said they were." were. Ex-Marine officer Ritter, who sounded alarms about possible hidden Iraqi weapons in the 1990s, stirred controversy the past two years by accusing U.S. officials of having failed to make a case for war on Iraq. Chief U.N. inspector Hans Blix, as he left his post this summer, became more open in discussing discrepancies. After the mid-1990s, "hardly ever did (inspectors) find hidden weapons," Blix reminded one audience. "What they found was bad accounting." bad accounting. The discrepancies, disputed for years between U.N. inspectors and Iraqi officials, may be of more interest now that U.S. weapons hunters are failing to find Iraqi chemical or biological arms. Police ask for caution from bars playing song The Associated Press WICHITA — Police have asked Wichita bar owners to be careful when playing the song "Put Yo Hood Up" after it apparently incited a gang-related shooting last month and another shooting last year. shooting. Lt. John Speer said the song by the rap group Lil Ion and the East Side Boyz encourages club patrons to flash gang signs in a confrontational manner. with the playing of the same song. "We're not asking them to not play the song; they can do as they wish." Speer said. "We're just asking them to be responsible." Speer said a disturbance started outside a Wichita club on Jan. 27, 2002, while the song was playing. Four people were shot. Five others were shot outside another Wichita club on Aug. 29 after a disturbance that began No one died in the Wichita club shootings. But "Put Yo Hood Up" has been blamed on at least one homicide. In Wrightsville, Ark., last fall, the song was played at a birthday party, prompting several people to flash gang signs. A subsequent fight ended when a 17-year-old pulled out a gun and shot and killed a 16-year-old. killed a 10-year-old. Besides "Put Yo Hood Up," Speer said police also were encouraging Wichita bar owners to be cautious of other songs that could spur gang violence. Speer said police have run into at least one other case in Wichita in which a song has incited gangs to square off. square on. "The club was literally divided," he said. "You've got the Crips on one side and the Bloods on the other." No one was hurt.

She said the team still needed to work on consistency from game to game. The Jayhawks have been breaking records this season, and one may fall in today's matchup. Miller is one shutout away from tying the all-time record at Kansas held by Jen Fcke. Miller said she was unaware of how close she was to the record. She said her teammates were the reason the record was in reach. "I don't really look at it as my record," she said. "It's the whole team's." SMS coach Bob Brewer said his team would not prepare in any special way for the Jayhawks. He said the coaches may regret the decision, but the Bears wanted to go out and play their game. Brewer said his team was aware of Kansas forward Caroline Smith's successes so far this season. Smith, an Edina, Minn., sophomore, has eight goals this season in four games. "We have to keep her from inflicting too much damage," he said. The Bears are still tinkering with their lineup, Brewer said. The team has struggled with scoring and Brewer said it was still trying to find the right combination for success.

The "Pure Kansas" campaign is being used by the department along with new athletics director Lew Perkins' message that Kansas fans must support all Kansas sports. Kansas sports The advertising campaign has used billboards and advertisements in newspapers and on television and radio outlets throughout Kansas. "I can't say that we are being more aggressive than last year," said Mike Harmon, manager of advertising for the department. "What we are doing is more advertising in western Kansas and on more television stations." The department is also targeting billboards across the state. "Pure Kansas" billboards are located on both sides of I-70 between Lawrence and Kansas City along with three other locations in the Kansas City metropolitan area. There is also a billboard advertising the campaign in Wichita. Anyone who buys football season tickets as part of the campaign also receives the "Pure Blue" package. The package includes a "Pure Kansas" T-shirt, a signed 8 inch by 10 inch team captain photo, a "Pure Kansas" decal and a football schedule magnet. Season ticket buyers are also entered into a sweepstakes. First prize is a rooftop suite party for the homecoming game on Oct. 18 against Baylor. 16 against Baylor. Second prize is four tickets to the Dec. 13 men's basketball game against Oregon at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Third prize is two season tickets for women's basketball. Besides the "Pure Blue," there are several other packages to draw fans to Memorial Stadium this fall. this man: "Birthday on the Hill" and "Hospitality on the Hill" have been very successful so far this Birthday on the Hill is marketed toward families who can celebrate their child's birthday with a tailgating tent before a Saturday home game. year, Harmon said The child must be 13-years old or younger and can bring up to 20 friends to celebrate with game tickets, food and drink. "Hospitality on the Hill" is for private groups who can also put together a group gathering for a tent before a game. "We average 100 people per group for the "Hospital on the Hill."" Harmon said. "We sell these packages right up until the game." As much as the "Pure Kansas" campaign has been used to market football, associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said it was connected to all Kansas sports. "The message we're trying to get across is that if you are a real Kansas fan you want to be at the stadium on Saturday," Marchiony said. "We're going to carry it through to basketball and other sports to get fans to be Pure Blue Package Sweepstakes 1st Prize A rooftop suite for Homecoming on Oct. 18 against Baylor 2nd Prize Four tickets for the men's basketball game against Oregon at Kemper Arena in Kansas City on Dec. 13 3rd Prize Two season tickets for women's basketball supportive of all of the teams that wear the Kansas uniform. Marchiony said the campaign would be used throughout the year but would be evaluated at the end of the school year. "So far, by the response we've gotten it is safe to say that we caught people by surprise, but it's also positive," Marchiony said. "People are pleased to see the promotion."

Roberson left the game in the second quarter and did not return. The injury was to his left, non-throwing hand. The coach indicated Roberson might not return until Oct. 4, when Kansas State plays at Texas. Asked whether that could be when Robertson returns, Snyder said: "Yes, it could be. I don't know that for g fact. I really don't know." "He just got hit," Snyder said. "It may have been on a helmet. I don't know. That I couldn't decipher off the tape." prior to this stage.

K-State loses star player Saturday, Whittemore gained 65 yards on 15 carries and a touchdown run from one-yard out. After gaining just seven yards on four rushing attempts against Northwestern, Whittemore was thought to be a little hesitant to take off and run as much as he did before his knee injury last year. style that won him respect in the Big 12 Conference last season. On top of all that, quarterback Bill Whittimore invoked memories of the gutsy running Heading into next week's game against the Wyoming Cowboys, the Jayhawks will have more confidence for their first road game, and the running backs can look forward to facing another defense that struggles against the run. Last Saturday, Wyoming allowed Oklahoma State to rush for 334 yards and five touchdowns. Oklahoma State's starting tailback, Tatum Bell, was held out of the fourth quarter after amassing 215 yards and three touchdowns by that point. Mangino now has a huge advantage when it comes to moving the ball on the ground against Wyoming.

BALBANI Mike Norris mnorris@kansan.com Support confident Jayhawks Every year columnists remind readers that basketball isn't the only sport at the University of Kansas. But this year's Kansas volleyball team is too good not to talk about. But a team's record isn't always an indication of how good it is. What makes this team so good is the way it plays. Teammates are constantly communicating, and they do it well. After beating No. 13 University of Minnesota last weekend and bringing home the Nike Volleyball Invitational championship, the team improved to 5-1 overall. cating, and an impressive is the team's attitude. These Jayhawks are cocky. It's not a bad cocky—it's confidence. It's something you need in order to win. Even when the team was losing 30-18 to Dayton, Jill Dorsey, defensive specialist, had a smile on her face throughout the game. When backup Megan Hill, freshman outside hitter, entered the game and quickly recorded two kills, the players celebrated as if they had won the match; they were actually down by 10. they were dummy blocker Sophomore middle blocker Josi Lima said the closeness of the team contributed to its solid play on the court. play on the court. That unity isn't hard to see when you watch the team play. The Jayhawks slap high fives or shout encouragement to each other after every point, whether it's their point or the opponent's. No matter how close the players are, the coach still has to keep the team motivated everyday. That is exactly what coach Ray Bechard has done. The players say he has them believing they can win, a daunting task in the Big 12 Conference. Despite all the positives, I won't sit here and make a bold prediction of a national championship or even a Big 12 championship. But this could possibly be the best volleyball team Kansas has ever had. Even if it's not, the team is fun to watch. It plays with passion and a confident swagger. It's probably enough passion and confidence to get it into the NCAA Tournament for the first time ever. I'll go ahead and say it: Come out and support the volleyball team. You won't be disappointed.

D Dallas ESPN ESPN Warner sidelined after concussion The Associated Press ST. LOUIS — One week into the season, the St. Louis Rams have a quarterback controversy. Kurt Warner's comeback got off to a rocky start when he played through a concussion in the season-opening loss to the New York Giants. New York Giants Healthy or not, he won't start Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, Marc Bulger will. cisco 4951, Marc MVP said he felt fine Monday, a day after his fog induced, error-filled performance in the 23-13 loss. After being released from a New York hospital earlier Monday, Warner ran and worked out in St. Louis, and he wants to play on Sunday. Doctors in New York told Warner he probably could practice Wednesday, although team medical personnel will be more cautious. Not so fast. "I think I should play," Warner said in a conference call with reporters. "As long as the doctors clear me, I'll be ready to go." Coach Mike Martz blames himself for allowing Warner to slowly clear his head while fumbling six times and getting sacked six times, and said he'll take a safety-first approach on Sunday. So Bulger, the backup who was 61 as the Rams' starter last year, will get the call. "I don't want to get into all of that right now," Martz said. "Let's just take it one week at a time at this point. will get the call. “This week I'm going to play Marc.” Martz said. “I think we can go one week, and make sure. He's upset about probably going with Marc but I think it's probably the best thing at this point.” Martz said it's way too soon to talk about whether it's still Warner's job to lose. "I don't know what the medical staff will say at the end of the week and I don't know how he's going to be at the end of the week, so if that ever becomes an issue we'll address it." "This isn't about me and Marc, this is about the team," Warner said. "This is about doing what's best for our team." we address it. Warner, the MVP in 1999 and 2001, was 0-6 with three touchdown passes and 11 interceptions last year while missing time with a broken pinkie and hand. He doesn't appear worried about the competition. Warner's status far overshadowed several other concerns at Rams Park, relegating Martz questionable play-calling to the second half of his weekly news conference. Martz disdained field goals twice on fourth-and-long in the fourth quarter, decisions that haunted him the following day. lowing day. The Rams believe Warner's concussion occurred on the first sack, which came on their second pass play when Giants lineman Michael Strahan collared him and stripped him of the ball with 8:34 to go in the first quarter. On his first seven pass plays, Martz said Warner made five errors in judgment. "It hasn't done that his whole time here." Martz said. "It's just not like him." But Martz wasn't ready to yank Warner until the start of the second half, when the quarterback was cleared to continue by the team's medical staff. By that time, Warner said, he was feeling much better. In the second half, Warner was 19-for-27 for 186 yards and a perfectly thrown 37-yard touchdown pass to Torry Holt in the fourth quarter. fourth quarter. "The first half he seemed a little goofy." Martz said. "He didn't appear normal, is probably the best way to put it." Warner doesn't regret finishing the game because the symptoms of the concussion had subsided. "You come back and watch the film and there were things on that aren't typical of me, things I don't normally do," Warner said. "The second half I felt good, felt really good." Warner said this concussion doesn't come close to the one he had at the end of the 2000 season when he was hit by Willie Whitehead of New Orleans. Warner played the following week in a wildcard playoff loss, but was still feeling aftereffects several months later. This time he had a headache and nausea in the locker room after the game, but felt fine by the time he got to the hospital. "Compared to what I've had in the past, this was extremely, extremely mild." Warner said. "The symptoms dissipated much more quickly than anything I've experienced before." Not good enough for Martz. On Monday the Rams moved to shore up the position, signing Scott Covington and releasing the team's inexperienced thirdstringer, former Missouri quarterback Kirk Farmer. Young Texas Tech volleyball team starts 4-0 The Associated Press LUBBOCK, Texas — The sun has set on the first volleyball tournament of the year. Now several of the Red Raiders are rising. Texas Tech volleyball welcomed three newcomers and one redshirt freshman for the 2003 season. The team saw its first action in the Islander Invitational this weekend, where the Raiders went 4-0. Tech coach Nancy Todd said she was pleased with the way the new members of the team performed. Redshirt freshman middle blocker Nina Miller led the team in blocks with six and scored 10 points against North Carolina A&T. "They did a great job," she said. "Each time they play, they're gaining more and more experience" Freshman Kiley Lyons led the team with 15 kills during the match against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Saturday. Miller sat out last season because of a broken leg. was faring so well in the match against A&M Corpus-Christi. "While I was playing, I didn't notice, but afterwards I was kind of surprised," she said. Another freshman who had the chance to play was middle blocker Raven Garret. Todd said Garrett, like Miller, needs to get more experience to sharpen her playing ability. Lyons said she had no idea she playing Part of the key to any freshman's success is the help she receives from the veteran players, and Todd said the team's upper classmen helped the newcomers gain confidence. "I really think the older girls did a good job of helping them and having them develop the chemistry, getting them used to being part of the team, kind of bonding with them" she said. Of all the experiences the freshmen had in their first official competition, Garrett said the best was finally becoming one unit. "I think the best part was just coming together as a team and getting to play a different school instead of just each other in practice," she said.

Smith was held out of the second half of Saturday's 35-7 victory over Ball State with a mild concussion. conclusion. The team physician, Pat Smith, cleared Brad Smith to take part in Sunday night's practice and the quarterback did not have any problems during that practice. The doctor said if Brad Smith did not suffer any unexpected complications, he should be able to play in Missouri's home opener. opener. "Terr on the cautious side," Pat Smith said. Pat Smith said the short-term memory loss Brad Smith suffered after he was hit on the head during a tackle in Saturday's game "didn't result in him losing consciousness." He said the quarterback suffered some mild confusion and amnesia and linebacker Brandon Barnes had mild concussions and that cornerback Terrance Curry had a slight hamstring pull.

PAGE 9A 12A The University Daily Kansan Tuesday, September 9, 2003 Running game improves 20 By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter As a self-proclaimed "old offensive line coach," Mark Mangino loves blue-collar efforts. That said, the Kansas coach was in heaven Saturday night after his team ran the ball for 276 yards in a victory over UNLV. Mangino was positive after the game, but sophomore running back Clark Green was more elated than anyone after eclipsing the 100-yard mark for what he hoped would be the first of many times this season. Green exited the Kansas locker room after the game with a firm grip on the ball that coach Mangino awarded him after a gritty 117-yard effort. Green's 79-yard performance on 17 carries against Northwestern was overshadowed by the loss. After the victory over the Rebels on Saturday, Green said he was not surprised by the resurgence of the running game. "We didn't put our heads down after the loss in the rain," Green said, "We knew we had another opponent coming up that we could run the ball on, and that's what we did." Even though reaching the century mark is something the Kansas coaching staff has come to expect of Green, it did not expect the spark off the bench provided by freshman tailback John Randle. John Nowak/Kansar After fumbling early, Randle came back to gain 77 yards on nine carries. Most of the Randle's yardage came after an injury forced Green out of the game for a few plays. "I just felt like I was letting the team down because coach talks about ball security all day, all practice." Randle said. "It was a little discouraging, but I just had to pop back in, role play and just do my job. I feel like I came back in and just did my thing." With Green playing the role of the bruising runner and Randle presenting a change-of-pace back off the sideline, the multiple dimensions were enough to earn praise from UNLV coach John Robinson following the game. "They had a great game plan—they SEE RUNNING ON PAGE 8A Whittemore named national performer after UNLV victory P Last Kansas running back Clark Green eyed the Rebels' defense as he took off down the sidelines against UNLV. Green ran 19 times for a total of 117 yards. Shaking off the rust after last year's season-ending injury, quarterback Bill Whittemore's career-high 270 yards and three touchdown throws against UNLV earned him National Performer of the Week honors from College-SportsReport.com. Whittemore was an integral part in the Jayhawks' 23-point third quarter, connecting on a 39-yard touchdown strike to Mark Simmons and again on a 12-yard score to Brandon Rideau, which capped a 10-play, 97-yard drive. Whittemore also added 65 rushing yards and a one-yard touchdown plunge in the fourth quarter. CollegeSportsReport.com picks a Performer of the Week each Monday from every major football conference and out of that group selects the National Performer of the Week The National Performer of the Week honor is Whittemore's first accolade since being named the 2002 Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year. Whittemore's big game came just a week after struggling in a 28-20 loss to Northwestern. Ryan Greene Men's basketball unveils schedule By Chris Wintering cwintering@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter The men's basketball team released its 2003-04 schedule yesterday, weeks later than previous seasons. Because of the late completion of the schedule, the vouchers for student tickets are incorrect. The team was originally planning on hosting two games in the Feist Shootout, but instead will play one game at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., against Oregon. The current vouchers do not include the games against Richmond or Villanova, the final games to be added to the schedule, nor the home game against Michigan State. Students will still be given these tickets if they purchased a sports pass. The KU ticket office said that it would not be printing new vouchers and would have a new plan on how to pick up tickets in the next few days. "It will be fairly similar to the current vouchers plan," said Jason Jeffries, an assistant in the ticket office. Self said the final changes would benefit fans. "We wanted to fill our last two games with quality opponents that the fans would really enjoy." coach Bill Self said in a news release. "We think we did that with the addition of Villanova and Richmond." Kansas will appear on ESPN's Big Monday telecast three times away from home: Jan. 5 at Colorado, Feb. 9 at Oklahoma State and Feb. 23 at Texas, in addition to once at home, Feb. 2 versus Missouri. The home game against Oklahoma on Feb. 29 will be televised on CBS. The team is guaranteed to appear on national television 14 times, on ESPN, CBS and ABC. Self said he was excited to complete the schedule, which was a combination of his staff's work as well as the previous staff. star. "When we arrived here, it was obvious that we inherited a very challenging schedule this season, especially with the number of tough games away from home," Self said. — Edited by Ehren Meditz Women's soccer team anticipates triumph By Nikki Nugent nnuagent@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter sports commentary After its first loss of the season Sunday, the University of Kansas women's soccer team wants to return to its winning ways. The team lost 3-2 to Wisconsin, making its record 3-1 so far this season. The Jayhawks travel to Springfield, Mo., fora 7 p.m. game against the Bears of Southwest Missouri State University. The Bears have not won a game this season, losing to Murray State in their first game of the season, 2-1, and also against Ole Miss, 4-0. Games against Tennessee-Martin and Mississippi State ended in 1-1 and 0-0 ties, respectively. Kansas goalkeeper Meghan Miller, Seattle junior, said the Jayhawks should be able to rebound from Sunday's loss by Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Tar Heel payback available Well, sort of. Well, that pot of hatred that has been simmering in Lawrence for seven months now can finally be uncovered. Jayhawk fans can have their revenge on the Tar Heel nation. Wen, so far, Kansas basketball fans will never forget the image of a tearful Roy Williams exiting a closed-door meeting with his players in April, just before jetting to Tar Heel country for a new gig and new digs. Even with the hiring of Illinois' Bill Self, Roy's sudden abandonment of the school and fans who embraced him so loyally for 15 seasons still left shock in the heart of the Midwest. Saturday night, the North Carolina volleyball team will pay a visit to the Horeisi Family Athletics Center. The nationally ranked Tar Heels will be the first team from Tobacco Road brave enough to make the journey west to Lawrence since Roy's change of address. As if Kansas isn't pumped enough after winning three games at the Nike Volleyball Invitational last weekend in Minneapolis, Carolina coming adds extra incentive. With all that said, here are a few things fans can do to make this experience seem even more important. 1) Camping I'm sure if people actually showed up to camp for this occasion, the Athletics Department would be generous to open up the Horeisi lobby for air mattresses, PlayStations and any other basketball camping necessities. I mean, if people were psychotic enough to camp outside Memorial Stadium last Friday night, certainly this game would qualify. Also, coach Ray Bechard seems like a nice enough guy, I'll bet you he could top Roy Williams' doughnut donations. 2) Don the anti-Roy paraphernalia 2) Dont the anti-Roy paraphrase For those headed to the game, it would be wise to not only wear all the KU gear you can pull out of your closet, but whip out the "Benediet Williams" and the "I Could Give a S*** About North Carolina" T-Shirts that were all over campus last spring. Shoot, to take it one step further, it'd be nice to see some of those dorky Roy Williams bobblehead dolls hanging from a noose. There are no boundaries on this one folks. 3) Fill the place, please This may not be a shot at the Tar Heels in the Final Four, but I know most loyal Jayhawk fans are looking to get back at North Carolina any way possible. This could be the best opportunity you have for a while. Even if you don't want to go along with my first two proposed ideas, at least make the effort to get out to the game. The Horejsi has the potential to be a tough place to play when there's a decent crowd. I've always been a huge advocate for proper crowd behavior, but this is a special occasion. What did the Tar Heel volleyball team ever do to deserve it? Nothing really, except for wearing the Carolina blue that is frowned upon here. Make sure no team from Chapel Hill, especially the men's basketball team, will ever want to visit Lawrence again.

City considers increase Commissioners propose raising downtown parking meter rates By Amanda Kim Stairrett astairrett@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Downtown visitors will probably pay higher fees for parking on Massachusetts Street, but not until January 2004. The City Commission last night proposed raising the parking meter fee to 25 cents for an hour, instead of 25 cents for 90 minutes. In addition the commission proposed raising the limit at downtown meters from 90 minutes to two hours, and recommended yellow tickets be left at $2. The proposals were sent to city staff members who will prepare an ordinance. It will likely take several weeks for the ordinance to be written and officially placed in the agenda for two readings. The ordinance is part of the City of Lawrence's 2004 budget, meaning it will not go into effect until January. the ordinance proposals were a result of issues discussed at a Sept. 3 Downtown Parking Advisory Board meeting. The board recommended the limit on all 90-minute parking meters be increased to two hours. There are more than 700 of these meters, mostly on Massachusetts Street. The board also suggested the rate should increase from 25 cents for 90 minutes to 25 cents per 30 minutes for all meters. The board also discussed how to deal with habitual violators. The board also proposed that the city tow or use wheel locks, and that fines for habitual violators be raised from $15 to $50. Mike Rundle, city commissioner, said violators owed the city about $300,000 in unpaid meter fines. Board members proposed ways to deal with downtown employees who park in the short-term spaces. They suggested individuals purchase parking passes for long-term lots like the one at 9th and New Hampshire streets. Those passes would be discounted 50 percent. "As a professional that works downtown, I don't believe we have a parking problem downtown," said David Dunfield, Lawrence mayor. David Schauer, city commissioner, later agreed and said he rarely had difficulty finding a parking spot less than one block from his destination. "As a professional that works downtown, I don't believe we have a parking problem downtown." David Dunfield Lawrence mayor Maria Martin, co-director of Downtown Lawrence Inc., has long been critical of the meter increase. She said last night that the advisory board's recommendations were a good solution. "Going from 90 minutes to two hours is giving customers and downtown merchants something more," she said. She later added that the increase in fees were going back to beautify the downtown. Dunfield said beautification was not a primary reason for the fee hike. Martin suggested signs be placed along Massachusetts Street to remind drivers of free two-hour lots. Dunfield disagree with Martin. He said the signs would go against beautification efforts.He encouraged local businesses to distribute existing pamphlets from the parking department, outlining where lots were. Another topic of discussion was dealing with downtown employees who take up spaces usually reserved for shoppers. Schauer said there was no solution for employees who parked on Massachusetts Street. "They are disuading shopers from spending money," Schauner said. Rundle said there needed to be aggressive marketing to employees about long-term lots. Dunfield supported the proposal that meter violations rise from $2 to $5. He said a $2 ticket was not a big enough incentive to deter illegal parking. The mayor said towing and wheel locks required a large amount of enforcement. Surprised Zetas deal with loss "I think they send too harsh a message," he said. —Edited by JJ Henslow By Abby Mills almills@kansan.com Kansan staff writer ZTA Two weeks after the end of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority at the University of Kansas, former Zetas are still trying to cope with their loss. "It's like breaking up with a long-term boyfriend," said Anja Winnika, former Zeta member. "There's a hole in my life and I haven't decided what to do with it yet." Zetas had planned a party at Centennial Park, 600 Rockledge Rd., to welcome new members to the organization. Instead, members of the national organization and KU Fraternity and Sorority Life staff officially announced the end of the colony. They told members the University was not ready for a 14th sorority vet. The news surprised members. Winnika said the national sorority had tried to contact members, but were unable to reach many. Zeta Tau Alpha headquarters in Indianapolis did not return calls requesting comment. Kit Leffler/Kansan Anja Winikka, Overland Park junior and former Zeta Tau Alpha member, continued to mourn the loss of her sorority yesterday. Zeta Tau Alpha closed Aug. 26 because of poor recruitment. Sarah Connelly, a former Zeta member, said hearing the news second-hand caused more pain and frustration. "A lot of the heartache was caused by girls finding out from other sorority members that their own colony had closed," she said. "I think that's horrible." Some members, such as Kelly Duggan, Minnetonka, Minn., sophomore, didn't know the colony had closed until the Bid Day party. She said she was glad she heard the news with other members. "I would rather have found out with all my sisters rather than by myself in the morning," she said. "I was glad my sisters were there to comfort me." were there to comfort the Members said they knew they would SEE ZETA ON PAGE 7A Improved toiletries delight students Campus bathrooms switch to foam soap; two-ply toilet paper a temporary luxury Lindsey Gold/Kenyan By Amber Bylaray abylaray@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Facilities Operations has started replacing powder and liquid soap dispensers throughout campus. The powder and liquid soaps were leaking, and many students complained about using the powder soap. The new dispensers will have foam soap. The University of Kansas washed its sands of another student complaint. Lorene Damewood, assistant director of custodial services, said Facility Operations employees have been changing soap dispensers for a couple of months. Lindsev Gold/Kansan Damewood said she didn't know how much longer workers would be replacing the dispensers but that all academic buildings would have foaming soap. buildings. Dennis Ireland, storekeeper specialist for Facilities Operations, said close to two-thirds of the buildings on main campus had the new dispensers, and work on West Campus would begin soon. Ireland said that about 1,200 dispensers were ordered. Throughout campus, Facilities Operations started replacing powdered-soap dispensers with liquid-soap dispensers. The new liquid soap has been met with rave reviews. According to Dennis Ireland, storekeeping specialist for Facilities Operations, the liquid soap is supposed to last longer and be cheaper in the long-term than the powdered soap. Damewood said, "The decision was made to change to foam soap and we a temporary luxury have had really favorable feedback." Shana Hughes, Wichita graduate student, welcomed the change. "I especially like the new soap." Hughes said. "Wescoe used to have horrific powder that didn't work very well and the new foam is much nicer. I have my office there in Wescoe and it makes a big difference." Rachel McFadden, Andal sophomore, agreed with Hughes. "Foam soap rocks," McFadden said. "It just feels cleaner." Ireland said that the foam soap was paid for by a Facilities Operations fund that the state issued at the beginning of each fiscal year. Although the foam soap was more expensive than the liquid or powder soap, Ireland said it was supposed to last longer and save money overall. Andrew Wolff, St. Louis senior noticed another change in the University's bathroom supplies—toilet paper. "It's nice to know the toilet paper isn't rough anymore," Wolff said, "that they actually care. I'd like to see less powered soap; only if I had paint on my hands would I want to use it." Wolff's joy will be short-lived, however. Damewood said that the change in the toilet paper would not be permanent. One of the University's suppliers had a distribution problem and refunded extra cases of two-ply toilet paper. The new two-ply toilet paper is softer than the one-ply that the University is contracted to buy. Damewood said the paper's rolls were also smaller than the toilet paper the University normally uses, which meant the newer rolls did not fit most of the dispensers on campus. Damewood said the paper could only be used in a few buildings. -Edited by Scott Christie in other words "In the four weeks where we are and where we have to get, we just can't get there," Peter Ueberroth, the former baseball commissioner and chief of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, on dropping out of the California recall race 2A the university daily kansan news in brief MAGNUS PATRICIAE SERPENTINE AETERNIS DIVIENDE AGRICOLE wednesday, September 10, 2003 Local Local Team tests city's water supply reports sav city free of parasite The presence of the microscopic parasite cryptosporidium was not detected in the Lawrence water supply, the City of Lawrence Utilities Department said yesterday. Tests were done last week by Analytical Services, Inc. of Williston, Vt., on both raw and finished water from the Kaw Water Treatment Plant and the Clinton Reservoir Treatment Plant after 22 cases of cryptosporidium were reported in the Lawrence area over the course of a few weeks. Cryptosporidium is a parasite that produces stomach flu-like symptoms and is easily passed in swimming pools because it can survive outside a host body for long periods of time and can resist the chlorine used to disinfect pools. After several Lawrence-area pools were closed, the city decided to test the water to be safe. Chris Stewart, assistant director of water for the city, said in a press release that the results "confirm that the state regulations are structured to protect our water and we are confident that the City of Lawrence complies with those regulations." The number of cryptosporidium cases reported has remained at 22.

The 29-year-old's remains were never identified, so his family chose to bury a vial of blood he had donated to a bone marrow center. A funeral was scheduled for Monday. "It was a very personal decision for the family," said Gerry Sweeney, a firefighter in Ladder Co. 131. "They really didn't want to go through a memorial service and then hear that a piece of Michael had been recovered and have to go through it again, but I guess they'd figured enough time had passed." Photos at the funeral home showed Rogusa smiling as a child, hugging his girlfriend, driving his car and fighting a fire. The Associated Press Dozens of firefighters passed through to offer their condolences. Correction Monday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. The campus brief, "Student arrested, charged for dealing in fake IDs" stated John Robert Jordan was released on $1,500 bail. Jordan was released on an "own recognizance" bond. These type of bonds allow the arrested person to be released before his court appearance without charging bail on his promise to appear for trial. Clarification Tuesday's University Daily Kansan, the article "Pre-meds choose time over money" needs clarification. Paul Crosby, pre-medicine adviser at the University, said areas like ophthalmology and dermatology residency programs might be competitive because of lifestyle issues. He said, however, that most students don't settle into speciality areas until after they are enrolled in medical school.

Martin was due to graduate from the University of Kansas in May 2001 when she was stabbed and killed on May 13,2001 while on a research trip in Golfito. Three Golfifo residents. Kattia FREDERICA SALVATORE Martin dens, Rata Cruz, 28, Rafael Zumbado Quesada, 48, and Luis Carrillo Castro, 38, were arrested earlier this year and charged with conspiring to kill Martin. Jeanette Stauffer, Martin's mother, went to Costa Rica last week to attend the hearing and to raise money for the Shannon Martin English and Technology Center, which she opened in Golifo after Martin's death. Golfo and Matteo After the preliminary hearing, which will determine if there is enough evidence to hold the accused for trial. Larry Thomas and Jesse Ybarra of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation will travel to Golfifo. They will assist Costa Rican attorney Juan Carlos Arce Chavarria and American attorney Pedro Irigonegaray in gathering material for trial. Thomas said it was up to Chavarria to determine when he and Ybarn, also Stauffer's translator, would join them in Costa Rica. Stauffer said the KBI became involved in the investigation only last summer. According to the CIA's Web site, the Costa Rican legal system has three stages: investigative, intermediate and trial. The Martin case is still in the investigative stage, where it has been ever since she was killed more than two years ago. If the case goes to trial, a panel of three judges will decide the fate of the accused, not a 12-person jury as in the legal system of the United States. of the United States. Irigonegara said he was confident about the investigation and was looking forward to a resolution for Martin's family. Edited by Scott Christie Commission approves bar By Amanda Kim Stairrett astrairrett@kansan.com Kansas staff writer The Lawrence City Commission last night hesitated before granting Frank Tarantino a drinking establishment license. Commission members were worried Tarantino's new deli and bar, the BrewHawk, might negatively affect the downtown atmosphere with more noise and litter. Tarantino was ultimately granted his license, though his business must go through a 120-day probation period, during which he must provide receipts indicating the BrewHawk makes more than 55 percent of its profits through food sales. Tarantino said he thought it was rare for a downtown business to be put on probation. "KU provides large revenue and a marketing stream for the city." he said. "They should totally embrace that." Tarantino, a Kansas City, Mo., lawyer, became interested in the community after he attended court in Lawrence. He saw a forsale sign at O'Dells, 733 Massachusetts St. Tarantino decided to buy and turn it into BrewHawk, an Italian-style deli and bar. Tarantino said Lawrence needed BrewHawk because there was no place to get authentic deli-style sandwiches. style sandwiches "But there's a lot of fast food," he said. The BrewHawk will offer fresh, Italian-style subs and sandwiches that aren't available in Lawrence, he said. Tarantino said he went to great lengths selecting authentic Italian meats and breads. The deli will also offer salads and slices of New York-style pizza by the slice. Tarantino said he wanted to appeal to the downtown lunch crowd. crowd. The other element of BrewHawk will be a full-service bar — selling beer, liquor and wine. wine. Another audience Tarantino wanted to attract was the college crowd, and he said it looks like a college bar. The walls are painted crimson and blue, and Jayhawk memorabilia will soon be added. Tabletops are painted yellow and Tarantino said people would be allowed to write on them. "Of course, we'll have to paint over profanities," he said, laughing BrewHawk will open for business this Friday. Hours will be 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 2 p.m. on Sundays.

YOUR HIRING PRACTICES AND TREATMENT OF MINORITIES ARE BEING CALLED INTO QUESTION. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE CHARGES? LAWSUIT WADE U.S. must return stability to Iraq, even if it means admitting wrongs Jennifer Wade for The University Daily Kansas On Sunday night, in his first address to the nation since he declared an end to major combat in Iraq, President Bush informed the nation that he would ask Congress for some $87 billion for the military occupation and reconstruction of Iraq. Gone were the flight suit, aircraft carrier backdrop and the glamour that had accompanied the swift initial military "victory." Many Americans now know that more of their servicemen have been killed since that address aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln than during the actual "war" — 149 dead since the beginning of May. In addition, the bombings of the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad and a major mosque in Najaf continue to highlight the instability of the country. GUEST COMMENTARY I Instead of glory, Bush spoke of urgency and purpose to the mission of rebuilding Iraq, and to this point I concur. Now more than ever there is an absolute need for the United States and its military to remain in Iraq. However, I believe that the time has also come for Americans to reassess just what their government has created in the "War on Terrorism." In his speech Bush stated: Ravi DeSilva opinion@kansan.com Yet it was not stated that the pentagon itself released a report highly critical of its own military planners who spent nine months preparing for the full-scale invasion of Iraq, but only 28 days formulating a policy for reconstruction after the toppling of Saddam Hussein. This indictment of the military's own strategists underscores just how inexperienced the United States is at dealing with terrorism. There has not been a quelling of terrorism in the Middle East or Iraq. If anything the country is now more fertile to violent minds than ever. "We have learned that terrorist attacks are not caused by the use of strength they are invited by the perception of weakness. And the surest way to avoid attacks on our own people is to engage the enemy where he lives and plans. We are fighting that enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan today, so that we do not meet him again on our own streets, in our own cities." Nothing spurs more suicide bombers against Israel than the assassination of senior members of Hamas or other militant factions and the flood of emotional outpouring that accompanies their funerals. It was the killings made by Israel that set loose a deranged moral imperative in the mind of a Palestinian man, with a wife and children of his own, to board a bus If bringing the fight to "the enemy where he lives and plans" is the U.S. strategy, we have already seen the failure of such an approach in Israel. Targeted killing, a practice of preemptive attacks against Palestinian terrorist groups, has resulted in a snowball effect of destruction and a cataclysmic end to the Middle East road map to peace. and detonate himself, taking the lives of 20 civilians with him in Jerusalem on Aug.19. on Aug. 19. The United States must now face the fact that the primary means by to succeed in Iraq and Afghanistan in the "War on Terrorism" are to build up as much as possible. If this means an increase in troops to ensure that water and electricity are returned to the people of Iraq quickly, it should be done. If this means turning over control of the operation to the United Nations so that we may gain more widespread international support and additional troops to stabilize these countries, it should be done. If this means admitting the U.S. acted hastily and with hubris, it must be done. nubris, it must be deceived. These are the mechanisms that will diffuse terrorists' attempts to recruit more attackers and saboteurs. These steps undercut the foundations that terrorists use to augment their ideological movements. These steps deny the excuse of blaming the United States for creating more problems than the people faced under Saddam or the Taliban. And these steps reflect the mature perspective of a country that wishes liberty and democracy to thrive throughout the world. world. Unfortunately, these are not the steps that will be taken and in the end we will pay the price. For as long as bitterness and resentment continue to brew in Iraq and Afghanistan, we will continue to meet the enemy in our own street, as we pause to wait for another flagdraped casket to be paraded slowly past.

Sorry, tushies. editorial board Don't let rankings erase your perceptions Three, six, 19,44. What do these numbers mean to the average University of Kansas student? Probably not all that much, but regardless of importance, this won't be the last time you hear of them. They're all national rankings. Administrators might cite them in speeches or reports. New students might be drawn to (or turned away from) the University because of them. But in reality, the rankings probably won't change your experience at the University, or the education you receive here. Whether it's the U.S. News & World Report, The Princeton Review or Playboy, it seems that we cannot get enough of these lists that tell us how well (or how poorly) the University stacks up against its peers. In the last month alone, at least a half-dozen such rankings have popped up. Recent weeks have seen the University ranked among the best for its school spirit and its campus newspaper but not for its party scene, radio station or local music culture. While these rankings have been the source of some grumbling and some bragging, that has likely been the extent of their impact. It's doubtful that students are drinking a couple extra beers each night in hopes of boosting that party ranking. So, in the end, what exactly does all of this mean to the average KU student? Probably little. The rankings might be good fodder for convocation speeches and press releases, but there's likely little immediate impact beyond that. Likewise, the chancellor is structuring the University's growth and policy around the hopes of becoming a top 25 public university by 2010. It seems that the University has made some strides in that direction, but earlier this fall, its ranking fell from 41st to 44th. However, academic rankings tend to carry more weight. For instance, the engineering and business schools both made strides in their national rankings. Consequently, they might catch the eyes of a few more prospective students this fall. Do you get more enjoyment from reading The University Daily Kansan because you know that it ranks in the top-ten of "great college newspapers?" Or are the recent tuition hikes any easier to swallow because the University has been listed as a "best buy?" Probably not. These rankings — social, academic, or otherwise — are not going to redefine a student's stay on campus. Whether we rank 25th or 55th, the University will continue to give out only as much as you put in'.

Exotic pets becoming more popular By Kevin Kampwirth kkampwirth@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Soft, furry and playful is quickly giving way to scales and stingers in the pet world. Exotic animals, such as snakes, lizards and spiders, have long been kept by people as pets, but recently the trend has taken on a new-found popularity. new foliage. Luke Welton, a Lawrence graduate student in organismal biology and an employee at Pet World, 711 W.23rd St., specializes in selling these exotic animals. these exotic animals "Taking care of animals like these is a lot easier than care of traditional pets," Welton said. "There's very little clean-up involved which attracts many people." Pet World sells all kinds of exotic pets, Welton said, but lizards probably sell the best. hazards probably occur. He said that one type of lizard, the Bearded Dragon, is a popular seller because of its price, $39.99, and docile nature. The dragon is just inches long when it is young, but can grow up to 18 inches. "Most of the lizards we sell are very docile and are completely non-venomous," Welton said. Snakes also sell well, Welton said, because they only have to be fed once or twice a month and create minimal mess in their tanks. Ryan Hanley, Chicago senior has owned his snake, Lenny, for three years. He said he's been pleased with his decision. please with what I have. "Like it because it's something different," he said.

Welton said if taken care of and Another pet that has been gaining in popularity during the past few years is spiders. "We seem to be selling a lot more tarantulas than we used to," Welton said. "There's been an explosion in the hobby." Apartmentistas are one of the few poisonous pets, but for most people, it's nothing to worry about. Most species will do all they can to avoid people and will bite only as a last result. Welton said. Even if one is bitten, the result would most likely be comparable to a bee-sting. Chris Linnens, Wiehita resident, who was visiting Pet World with a friend, has owned a tarantula for about a year. talk for about 10 minutes. “It's a great pet,” he said. "I take mine out of the cage and let it Scorpions and centipedes are the only other poisonous animals that Pet World sells. Like the spiders, they are rarely dangerous. ders, they are rarely exotic pets. The prices for most exotic pets vary. Spiders range anywhere from $20 to $80, lizards anywhere from $15 to $200, and snakes from $40 up to $1,000 for a rare Albino Honduran Milksnake. Whatever exotic pet one chooses, Welton said, the most important part is making a responsible decision. This decision includes being committed to taking care of it. "Owning one of these exotic animals is just like owning any other pet," he said. "If they are taken care of correctly, they can be in your life for a long time."

"There's been an explosion in the hobby." explosion in the house. Tarantulas are one of the few poisonous pets, but for most people, it's nothing to worry about. Most species will do all they can to avoid people and will bite only as a last result, Welton said. Even if one is bitten, the result would most likely be comparable to a bee-sting. Chris Linnens, Wichita resident, who was visiting Pet World with a friend, has owned a tarantula for about a year. "It's a great pet," he said. "I take mine out of the cage and let it Scorpions and centipedes are the only other poisonous animals that Pet World sells. Like the spiders, they are rarely dangerous. The prices for most exotic pets vary. Spiders range anywhere from $20 to $80, lizards anywhere from $15 to $200, and snakes from $40 up to $1,000 for a rare Albino Honduran Milksnake. Whatever exotic pet one chooses, Welton said, the most important part is making a responsible decision. This decision includes being committed to taking care of it. "Owning one of these exotic animals is just like owning any other pet," he said. "If they are taken care of correctly, they can be in your life for a long time."

The Rilly Project, a charity drive meant to gather school supplies for children in foster care, will begin next week. The type of supplies needed most are those that have to be replaced often, such as pencils, crayons and paper. The project is a joint effort involving the Kansas Service Children's League, the Center for Community Outreach and Jennifer Sweeton, the reigning Mrs. Lawrence and Parkville Mo., senior. The project was named after Sweeton's grandmother, whose nickname was Rilly. "She was someone who grew up in poverty and really wanted an education, but didn't have the money to get one," Sweeton said. When the drive begins, there will be two or three drop-off locations in the Lawrence area for those who want to donate. The Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road, and Community Mercantile Co-op, 901 Iowa St., are locations that are already slated as drop-off points. Sweeton said that the Kansas Union was a possible location, but was unsure. Sweeton said the project was still looking for people to collect the supplies from drop-off locations and bring them in to the main center. In addition to the two Lawrence locations, there are drop-off locations in Topeka at the Kansas Service Children's League Office, and in Manhattan at the College Avenue United Methodist Church. The project is also looking for other businesses to provide dropoff points for the school supply drive. — Edited by Ehren Meditz The Rilly Project is in need of any type of school supplies, but especially ones that run out often, such as: pencils pens crayons notebooks (paper) erasers To volunteer or for drop-off point information, contact Jennifer Sweeton at (913) 488-5480.

They're back in style. And put a Doobie Brothers album on the record player for good measure. HAWAII Tony Lama Lind Vintage T-shirts, and newer shirts with a vintage look, have become big sellers nationally and in Lawrence. Old shirts of cartoon characters, college mascots, places in the United States and bands are finding their way back in fashion. At Sugartown Traders, 918 Massachusetts St., customers donate unwanted shirts, and the store resells them. Besides jeans, T-shirts are Sugartown's top sellers, Tamyra Heim, store owner, said. Sugartown Traders, 918 Massachusetts St, is a Lawrence merchant that sells vintage items, such as T-shirts. "People need to realize that vintage is not just the '70s there is a large variety — it's not just polyester pants," said owner and manager Tamya Heim. Shirts range in price from $4.50 to $15. Some of the shirts they had were a Metallica T-shirt from their 1986 album, *Master of Puppets*, a Smokey the Bear shirt and shirts with Looney Tunes characters on the front. Heim said the pure vintage shirts from the 1960s, such as Jimi Hendrix or Harley-Davidson, don't last more than 10 minutes before being sold. The prices for these shirts are the same as any of the others to make them just as accessible. "If somebody wants to travel to New York and sell them, let them do it," Heim said. do it, 'Helm said. But John Keddie makes vintage T-shirts a worldwide business. Keddie made from Yale in 2000 and got a job after college, but wasn't satisfied. "I was at a consulting firm back East and I was bored stiff at my cubicle." Keddie said. vintage look. In 2001, he launched vintagevantage.com, an online store devoted to original vintage shirts and some of Keddie's own designs. The Web site has developed a loyal following. Keddie estimated he had sold more than 12,000 shirts online. He said college students bought more of the vintage clothing than any other age group. "I think they're going for the more unique look, or something that will be a good conversation piece," Keddie said. Kristen Jarboe, Lawrence freshman, bought a shirt with the Kellogg's Special K logo on it at Wet Seal in Overland Park. Wet Seal in Gloucester. "My nickname is 'K,' so it kind of has a special meaning to me," she said. "It's a fun shirt." said. It's a small town. Opinions vary on what is or isn't vintage material, but Keddie sets his own guidelines. "They have to be soft and thin, and from pre-1989, unless it's a funny 90210 shirt or New Kids on the Block," he said. the Block, he said. Clothing store chains continue to imitate the vintage look. American Eagle Outfitters did so blatantly, Keddie said. American Eagle printed a shirt that said "Detroit was built for lovers," but vintagevantage.com already had a "Detroit is for lovers" shirt copyrighted. "Right now, they've been responsive to us," Keddie said. "A few of my customers happened to be copyright attorneys." Like Sugartown Traders, Keddie's shirts listed as "originals" are reasonably priced at $18.99. But shirts from his new Top Shelf Project have a higher price tag. A 1982 Doobie Brothers shirt sells for $445 on the Top Shelf Project. Another shirt goes for almost $2,000. “It's more there to generate buzz,” Keddie said. “We're not looking to sell them, really. We're looking to display them. But we have sold three shirts in the past week from there, though.” ZETA: Closing stuns members Edited by Scott Christie CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A have to do informal recruitment to keep numbers up this year, but were blinded by the national's decision. Zeta did not complete the recruitment process, but would only have gained 16 recruits during formal recruitment. The colony ended last semester with 128 members, just short of its 140-member goal. Only 85 members returned after the summer, and after formal recruitment numbers came in, the decision was made to pull the plug on the colony. thens, not outs. Winniola said several factors kept numbers low the first year. The most significant, she said. "We had no reason to believe we were going to be shut down," Winnika said. "The decision was theirs, not ours." was lack of a sorority house "These houses are mansions," she said. "That's a big part of being in a sorority at KU." Connelly said Zeta had set aside $3 million to $5 million for a house, but was waiting for the colony to improve numbers before it bought property. "It was a catch-22," she said. "Nationals wouldn't build a house because we didn't have 160 members, but we couldn't get 160 members without a house." members withdrew. Winnika said formal recruitment numbers were strong, even better than some more-established Zeta houses, until the third round, which focused on touring houses. She said several girls had told her they were impressed with the sorority, but needed a house. the sorority, but Leigh Baker, Wellington junior and former Zeta member, said she understood why the national sorority didn't want to immediately spend money for a house, but said it could have done more. but said it could have "I think even if we could have started small and done anything to say we had a place of our own just renting a place for meetings - it would have helped," she said. said. Keeping the sorority together was also difficult because members had no previous experience in sororities. "We had no idea what being in a sorority was like," Winnika said. "They just stuck us together and said, 'You're Zetas. You're friends! I think it was a little overwhelming.' Although the colony was dissolved before members were initiated, Zeta Tau Alpha will offer alumni status to interested colony members after they graduate. gone to Zeta were placed with other houses when possible. Winnika said Zeta also refunded members their initiation dues. After paying bills, the national sorority will return whatever is left to members, based on how long they paid dues. Angela Carr, coordinator for Fraternity and Sorority Life, said those women that would have Former colony members also have the opportunity to join another KU house through open bidding. None of the members interviewed wanted that option. Members still get together periodically and had a barbecue at Clinton Lake last weekend. Some are hoping to form a service organization to continue benefiting the sorority's philanthropy, Breast Cancer Awareness. "There's no other sisterhood for me," Connelly said. "I can honestly say that I love each and every girl that I called my sisters, and still do call my sisters." -Edited by Ehren Meditz world Sharon: Hamas leaders marked for death JERUSALEM—Hamas leaders are "marked for death" and won't have a moment's rest, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon warned Sunday. Hamas threatened unprecedented revenge, with spokesman Abdel Aziz Rantisi saying Israel had "opened the gates of hell" with the attack on Hamas founder, Sheik Ahmed Yassin, who escaped with a minor injury. Israel declared a high security alert and imposed a blanket closure on the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Security officials said the Shin Bet security service tightened protection of Israeli leaders. Sharon told the Vediot Ahronot newspaper that Israel's campaign against militants would continue. "They are marked for death." Sharon was quoted as saying, referring to Hamas leaders. "We won't give them a moment's rest. We will continue to hunt them because they have only one objective: the destruction of Israel."

Joey Berlin jberlin@hansan.com Mangino recklessly disregards best asset If you know or ever happen to meet Kansas football coach Mark Mangino, don't trust him with your valuables. He has a hell of a time taking care of his own. has a hit of a time in In the final minutes of the Jayhawks' 46-24 victory over UNLV last Saturday, Mangino — for the second time in two seasons — showed reckless disregard for the health of his best player, quarterback Bill Whittimore. Last year, after Whittemore tore the medial collateral ligament in his knee, Mangino didn't seem too concerned about Whittemore's future." If I can convince our medical staff," Mangino said after the following week's loss to Kansas State," I'd wheel him out there next week if I could." With two games left, Mangino didn't seem to recognize that the 2-8 Jayhawks needed to heal Whittemore, last season's Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, for meaningful games in 2003. Apparently, the medical staff held its ground, because Whittemore didn't take the field again in '02. But in the final minutes Saturday, Mangino's play calling suggested he hasn't learned anything about protecting his best players. With four minutes left in the game, Kansas got the ball back, nursing a 22-point lead. It was the perfect time for Mangino to pull his fragile quarterback and get sophomore backup Brian Luke some action. some action. Instead, Whittemore returned to the huddle. No big deal, — Kansas was just going to run the clock out, right? going to run the clock out. It three plays later, on 3rd-and-2 at the Rebels' 39. Whittemore lined up in the shotgun, with two backs flanking him. It was hard to believe the 'Hawks would throw on a 3rd-and-2 at the end of a blowout; surely, Kansas had called a draw play to a running back. Nope. Whittemore dropped back to throw, leaving himself open to one more pass rush — and giving him another chance to re-tear his MCL, or suffer some other long-term injury that could turn Kansas football back into a train wreck. Fortunately, no Rebel defenders touched Whittemore, and he completed an eight- yard pass for a first down. yard pass for a minute. Less than two minutes remained on the clock. OK, so now Mangino was done endangering his star quarterback on meaningless plays. Or maybe not. Incredibly, Whittemore again went back in the shotgun. in the snoutgun. This time, Mangino made damn sure Whittemore gave that MCL a real test. Instead of a passing play, where he may or may not get hit, Whittemore took the snap and ran up the middle, ensuring contact with a pile of defenders. touch with a pile of deterrents. Despite what may have been history's first quarterback draw by a team up 22 with 1:30 left, Whittemore escaped uninjured. Then, after a time-out, Kansas finally ran the clock out. many ran the clock out. For Kansas to make strides this year, Whittemore has to be in the game when it counts. When Mangino leaves him in a game that's already been decided, he unnecessarily maximizes the chance that in future games, the new-and-improved Jayhawks will look like last year's team — as Whittemore watches atop a pair of crutches. Berlin is a Leawood senior in journalism. 5 Banks Floodman, sophomore linebacker, stopped Northwestern's Brett Basanez, sophomore quarterback, in the first quarter of the game Aug. 30. The Wildcats defeated the Jayhawks 28-20 in a rainsoaked game. Healed' Hawk leadsteam By Ryan Greene greene@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter From the time he was recruited out of Wichita Collegiate high school, expectations have been high for Kansas linebacker Banks Floodman. This season, as he is becoming a destructive force at outside linebacker, the struggle he has endured for his success on the field makes him appreciate it even more. As a freshman in 2001, Floodman's 41 tackles and explosiveness on special teams gave fans a taste of what he was capable of. Expecting a breakthrough year as a defensive starter in 2002, all that Floodman had been working towards got sidetracked in one play. In the season opener at Iowa State, the brightest young stud on first-year coach Mark Mangino's defense went down with a season-ending knee injury. When it happened, Floodman "Banks is a guy that reflects everything that we try to do here at KU in football." Mark Mangino football coach did not want to face reality, knowing that the worst-case scenario was imminent. "It was devastation, I knew exactly when I did it what had happened," Floodman said. "I haven't experienced it before, but it's kind of one of those thinks you just know. I don't really think about it much anymore, I don't really want." Instead of sulking, Floodman made the best of a bad situation. While rehabilitating the knee injury, he hit the weight room, adding nearly 15 pounds of muscle to an already intimidating frame. during frame. During the process of bulking up for the 2003 season, Floodman's biggest growth of all may have came mentally. The injury made Floodman a bigger man physically and gave him a chance to reflect on how rare his God-given talents truly are. truly are. "It just motivated me to realize what I have and what I am doing, and not taking it for granted," Floodman said. "I feel that in the past, maybe I took a game for granted. When you miss a year, you really realize how much you love the game and what it means to you." This season, Floodman leads the Jayhawks in tackles with 22. However, when coach Mark Mangino evaluates Floodman, he looks well beyond the stat sheet. Mangino loves the fact that Floodman now looks at things, such as going to practice, as fun instead of work. It's Floodman's attitude and leadership qualities that make him what Mangino wants in all of his players. wants in all of his playtime. "Banks is a guy that reflects everything that we try to do here at KU in football." Mangino said. "See, those type of kids, no matter how good or bad or how indifferent anybody looks at them as football players, as football coaches, we see them as being successful in life, because everything they do they do with a great attitude." As the Jayhawks head into their third game of the 2003 season with a 1-1 record, Floodman, now a redshirt sophomore, is anchoring one of the best linebacker corps in Kansas history. tory. Along with fellow sophomores Nick Reid and Gabe Toomey, Floodman has helped instill the excitement that has long been missing from Kansas football. "It's just extremely exciting to play every game, and just play with the guys that I'm around," Floodman said. "Everyone around here's excited, and that's something I haven't felt since I've been here."

Chiefs enjoy victory, prepare for game with Steelers The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A handy beating of San Diego showed the Kansas City Chiefs they're better. As Dick Vermeil says, the Pittsburgh Steelers will show them this week "if better is good enough." The Steelers, who will be in Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, were just as sharp in a 34-15 opening-day win over Baltimore as Kansas City was in dispatching the Chargers 27-14. The Chargers are going through the pains of a second-season rebuilding program under Marty Schottenheimer. The Steelers, in Bill Cowher's 12th season, have no reason to think they won't contend for the AFC title. "They're a team coming in here off of playoffs," Vermel said Tuesday. "They're a team led by a guy who used to coach in Kansas City. He's been here and his team will know what it's like. He'll be able to communicate the passion with which the fans enjoy the team and intensity and the problems the crowd creates for a visiting team." crowd creates or been making out the schedule, the Steelers would have been pushed back to November or December. "Here's a team that you like to play a little later in the season. It'll be a very, very firm test for us," Vermell said. "As we all know, they have a very outstanding group of receivers, the quarterback is hot right now and it's a great, great story." Tommy Maddox, who was 21-of-29 against Baltimore for 260 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, reminds Vermeil of one of his old quarterbacks. terbacks." "It's another Kurt Warner story," he said. "A young man I watched play college football his sophomore year and have an opportunity to get to know when he was just a puppy. He left college early and had an unbelievable up-and-down career with three years out of football. Now, he's got a quarterback efficiency rating of over 150 in one football game. "They're tough and they will test us in different ways than the San Diego Chargers did." Cowher _ who was a Chiefs assistant when Schottenheimer was Kansas City's head coach _ is not the only member of the Pittsburgh party who's familiar with the famous Arrowhead Stadium atmosphere. The Steelers have been here seven times since 1992, winning four. times since 1952. "I know this: Cowher's probably excited to come here," Vermei said. "He loved Kansas City. He loved working in the organization. I'm sure he spent some time talking to Marty because they're very, very close. He won't come here with Vonnie Holliday, the defensive end whom the Chiefs signed away from Green Bay over the offseason, had three sacks in the opener. He raved about the Arrowhead crowd, declaring that it was even more intimidating to visitors than Green Bay's Lambeau Field. Yet, could Pittsburgh's success in Kansas City diminish the mystique of Arrowhead? "I think it does," Vermeil said. "I've been in the league a long time and my observation about teams that win on the road is they take the best team along with them on the trip. When we used to win on the road I took a real good team along with me. "I don't think there's anything magic about it. You have to be able to handle adversity. We talk about it all the time." Police charge Clarett; coach says he's through The Associated Press Tressel's comment came just before prosecutors charged Clarett with lying about items that were stolen from him out of a car. COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State is ready to cut ties with Maurice Clarett if the star running asks to transfer to another school. Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel said Tuesday. Tressel said he does not anticipate Clarett returning to the team this season. When asked if he would recommend Clarett be released from his scholarship if the request was made, Tressel said, "my recommendation would be yes." Tressel's comments or the misdemeanor charge. Alan C. Milstein, the Clarett family attorney, said he wasn't surprised by "Nothing Ohio State does surprises me," he said. "I don't think the family recognizes what Ohio State's actions and motivations are either." Milstein declined to comment on whether Clarett would consider transferring. terrorized. Asked if Clarett had played his final game for the Buckeyes, Milstein said, "I think that's up to Ohio State." prosecutors up and Ohio State University police罪犯 a misdemeanor falsification charge against him in Franklin County Municipal Court, city attorney spokesman Scott Varner said. The court will issue a summons for Clarett to appear within 30 days. The charge carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail and $1,000 fine. Clarett has already been suspended indefinitely from the team, and probably will not play for the Buckeyes this season. He is also being investigated by the NCAA. He is also involved in a report. Clarett acknowledged earlier this summer that he filed an exaggerated theft report after his car was broken into in April. The car, a 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, was borrowed from a local dealer. The NCAA started looking into the report after Clarett stated he had lost more than $10,000 in items in the theft. Clarett set Ohio State freshman records last season with 1,237 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns, including the winning score in the Buckeyes' double overtime victory over Miami in the Fiesta Bowl BOW. Ohio State athletic director Andy Geiger said Tuesday he wasn't surprised Clarett was charged. "We expected it, not necessarily today, but we were expecting that it was going to happen," he said. The university does not have a set punishment for athletes charged with misdemeanors, Geiger said. The charge will not factor into the length of a suspension the university will recommend to the NCAA, he said. Clarett's mother, Michelle, did not return a phone message seeking comment on the charge. Former NFL star tailback Jim Brown, a family adviser, said he wasn't aware of the charge and declined comment on it or Tressel's statement.

However, the Kansas volleyball team doesn't expect a let down tonight. After winning the Nike Invitational last weekend, the Jayhawks prepare for their home opener against Oral Roberts University at 7 tonight in the Horesei Family Athletics Center. Josi Lima, sophomore middle blocker, expects the team to be ready to play in front of the home crowd for the first time this season. "I think it's going to be packed," she said. "They're a lot of fun." The crowd should be a welcome asset for the Jayhawks who have played all six of their matches on the road, or at a neutral site. Oral Roberts (2-4), has struggled, but the 2002 Mid-Continent Conference champions were 22-11 last year, earning a trip to the NCAA Tournament. "They are young, but very talented," he said. "I expect a competitive match." Coach Ray Bechard recognized the record,but hadn't taken the team lightly by any means. The Jayhawks (5-1) have already defeated one ranked team this year, and two who earned bids to the NCAA Tournament last year. Lima said one of the reasons for the early success was preparation. "I think we are a lot more prepared than last year," she said. The voters in the USA Today/AVCA Coaches' Poll think so also. The poll has them listed 33rd in the country, receiving 26 votes for the Top 25. Bechard said the ranking was nice, but it was how the team responds this weekend that mattered most. The Jayhawks will take on Arkansas Razorbacks, North Carolina Tar Heels and Creighton Blue Jays this weekend in the Hampton Inn/Jayhawk Classic at Horesi. It will be the third straight weekend the Jayhawks will play in an invitational tournament. After the tournament the Jayhawks will have three days off before starting the Big 12 Conference season in Manhattan against Kansas State. —Edited by Michael Owells KANSAS VOLLEYBALL Megan True-Kann Members of the Kansas women's volleyball team conversed at the net last week during practice.

Women's tennis opens season at Missouri Invitational By Rahul Sharma correspondents@kansan.com Kansan correspondent After serving as an assistant coach for the Kansas women's tennis team the last six seasons, Amy Hall is truly eager to get the season started. Coming off a disappointing 7-12 record and finishing ninth in the Big 12 Conference last season, Hall said she was focused on getting the most out of her players. "We want to make a statement and I have no doubt that we will." Hall said. bock. The upperclassmen should ensure that statement is heard. Leading this year's team are highly touted returning seniors Emily Haylock, Courtney Steinbock and Kristen Stein- "Courtney, Kristen and I have been a big part with the team. We understand leadership and enjoy having a good time," Haylock said. Haylock enters the season with a career total of 61 victories in doubles competition, and feels fairly confident about the team. "We are going to be a lot better this year," Haylock said. "With the coaching change, we're all getting worked harder." Haylock, a native of Warrnambool, Australia, said she would never play to her opponents strategy. "I'm going to play my game," Haylock said. "I won't play to someone else's advantage." Lub bock, Texas, are returning for their final year of collegiate competition. Hall said Courtney is still an intricate part of the team, despite coping with an injury. PETER A. MIDDLETON Courtney Steinbock "Courtney is out with the injury but she is very positive of the whole healing process. She manages to help us out on the practice courts and knows she can do battle," Hall said. Sophomore standout Christine Skoda, a native of Edmonton, Alberta Canada, proved last season that she can play with anyone in the country. Kristen Steinbock is receiving early billing as the team's doubles specialist this season. I am a retired Marine Corps member who served in the United States Navy from 1983 to 2017. During his career, he held various positions including Captain of the USS Enterprise and Commander of the USS Miramar. He is also a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and a former member of the United States Military Academy at Fort Bragg. Her 16 victories in singles competition left her second on the team behind former Kansas player Paige Brown. Kristen Steinbock "Hopefully, I have another great season," Skoda said. "I played a lot in tournaments over the summer and have kept up with it." Skoda is a consistent basliner who loves to crush the ball, Hall said. In addition to her play-making ability, Skoda is one of the team's fittest players. Luiza Loureiro, Brasilia, Brazil, and Grisell Granandos, Queretaro, Mexico, return for their sophomore years, desiring to build on last season. Incoming freshman Brittany Brown will be an immediate impact player, Hall said. Brown was a four-time Allstate selection as a high school tennis star in Evansville, Indiana. She was also named Central Indiana Tennis Association player of the year in 2002 and was a state finalist in 2003. 2003. Hall also said she expected Ashley Fillberth, a freshman from Kansas City, Mo., would help this year's recruiting class, despite having only two years of high school tennis experience. "The players know the expectations. It's time to get busy." Amy Hall womens tennis coach Hall said the key for a successful season was having an open line of communication among the players. "The players know the expectations," she said. "It's time to get busy." The Jayhawks get busy in Missouri this weekend. The team will travel to Columbia on Friday for the Missouri Invitational to start the fall season. Edited by Jonathan Reeder WANT YOUR MEAL PLAN TO WORK EVERYWHERE ON CAMPUS?

Three walk-ons earn scholarships By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Kansas football coach Mark Mangino announced yesterday that three of the team's walk-ons have been awarded athletic scholarships. The three new scholarship recipients are senior linebacker Josh Homolka, sophomore linebacker Darren Rus and freshman safety Jonathan Lamb. The scholarships will be retroactive towards the current semester. 10 YEARS AGO Homolka, Holyrood senior, appeared in 11 games on special teams as a junior in 2002. Last season, he was also named the defensive instead of beginning in the spring. scout team player of the week on two occasions by the Kansas coaching staff. Rus Rus is a redshirt sophomore in P his second season with the team. Last year, the Overland Park native appeared in 12 of the Jayhawks' contests as a contributor on special teams. This season he Lamb this season. He recorded his first career touchdown on a blocked punt return against Northwestern. Lamb, who played at Olathe North High School, is in his first season with the team as a redshirt freshman. He shot up the depth chart this off-season, and is now the team's starting free safety. Lamb has recorded 13 tackles in the Jayhawks' first two game this season. "We're very proud of those young guys," Mangino said. "They've earned it." "Walk-ons are extremely important, and you can earn a scholarship. These three young guys are proof of that." — Edited by Cate Batcheldor Women's golf team scores solid start By Mike Bauer mbauer@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter The Kansas women's golf team came home yesterday from Colorado State University confident and content. The Jayhawks placed seventh out of 16 teams in the Ptarmingan/Ram Fall Classic in Ft. Collins, Colo. with a score of 905. They competed against the likes of Baylor and Colorado, which took sixth and fifth places, respectively. Sophomore Chelsey Pryor placed highest among the Jayhawks at 14th place. The Washington, Penn., sophomore was pleased with the results from herself and the team. "I played really solid." Pryor said. "The girls played wonderful. I'm looking forward to seeing great things from us in the future." Sophomore Tiffany Woods said she, too, was excited about the Jayhawks' performance in Fort Collins. "I want to keep on doing well when I get back and do well on the next tournament. We had a good week," said Woods, who took 25th place. The praise was echoed by senior Jennifer Bawanan. She ranked 58th in the match. "This is probably one of the best teams I've seen here at KU," Bawanan said. Team members said they were impressed by the younger players. "The freshmen and sopnores have stepped up. At this tournament, shooting 303-302-300, I think it's a great start," Bawanan said. Coach Megan Menzel coached at Colorado State before coming to Kansas. Her familiarity with Colorado State was a key factor in wanting to compete there, she said. "It was a great experience. It was a lot of fun being here as a lavihawk," Menzel said. The Jayhawks' next tournament is the Sept. 20 to 21 Mary Fossom Invitational at Michigan State in East Lansing, Mich. Edited by Katie Nelson Duke splits QB job; injured MVP returns By Robert Samuel The Chronicle via U-Wire Duke University DURHAM, N.C. — At his weekly press conference, Duke coach Carl Franks praised his assistant coaches' and players' performances in the 29-3 victory over Western Carolina Saturday, but noted that maintaining the high level of play was still a question for the Blue Devils. "Well that game showed we're capable of [winning], but now we've got to show that we're capable of doing it consistently," Franks said. Franks said that he was unsure who would be the starting quarterback for Saturday's game against Rice, though he did say last week's starter, Mike Schneider, was already practicing at full speed after being diagnosed with a concussion Saturday. Last week's backup and last year's starting quarterback Adam Smith pleased Franks with his play Saturday after his atrocious 2003 debut against With regard to the hamstring injury to last year's team MVP Alex Wade, Franks said that the 6-foot-1 255 pound Newton, Pa., native was feeling better than a week ago, but is not 100 percent. Franks said that he hoped Wade's aimment will not remind Blue Devil fans of fellow running back Chris Douglas' high ankle sprain of a year ago. Douglas was billed to be one of the ACC's top backs after running for 841 yards as a sophomore, but the lingering ankle problem slowed him to 200 yards less in 2002. Virginia. Smith came off the bench midway in the second quarter and threw for a combined 30 yards and a touchdown on his first two pass attempts. "I will use them both if we need to." Franks said in response to questions about the dual-use of his top two quarterbacks. "If somebody is out there playing pretty well, they're going to stay out there for a long time. If we're struggling a little bit, the other guy will go in." Donors Needed! Earn $20 Today! Donate your blood plasma. Help burn, trauma and shock victims, surgery patients & more.

If you happen to play Division I-A basketball for a national powerhouse, making time for that is even more difficult. But junior forward Keith Langford and sophomore guard Jeff Hawkins somehow manage to do things they enjoy during their down time. Despite hectic schedules of classes, practice and games, the two have grown accustomed to filling their time by doing what many college students do in their spare time: playing video games. Langford said he spent a lot of time taking care of his academic and athletic responsibilities. Still, he said that sometimes video games were his outlet from the pressures of school and basketball. Langford and Hawkins have both played March Madness 2003, which features the pair in the line-up for the Jayhawks, and former Kansas All-American Drew Gooden on the cover. KANSAS BASKETBALL "The first time I played as myself, I scored like 30 points in the first half," Hawkins said. "I couldn't believe I was seeing myself as a player in a video game, and seeing all of my teammates in a game when I can just see them in person." Christina Kessler/Kansan Langford is a preseason nominee for the Wooden award, but the junior forward said even being considered for honors like that couldn't compare to the thrill of playing himself in a video game. game. "The first time I played it, I felt like I had really accomplished something," he said. something', he said. Langford said a few of his other favorite games were NBA Live and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, while Splinter Cell was his favorite night game right now. Sophomore guard Jeff Hawkins played the Xbox game system last week in Game X Change, 800 W. 23rd St. Some basketball players spend their time off the court playing video games.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vanderbilt University will merge its departments that handle varsity and intramural sports in a major shakeup designed to curb the ills of big-time college athletics. "For too long, college athletics have been segregated from the core mission of the university." Chancellor Gordon Gee said in a statement. "As a result, we have created a culture, both on this campus and nationally, which is disconnected from our students, faculty and other constituents, where responsibility is diffused, the potential for abuse considerable and the costs — both financial and academic — unsustainable." No NCAA sports programs will be eliminated, but just about everything else will change under the restructuring. That includes the elimination of the athletic director position, which Todd Turner has held for seven years. Turner has been offered a job as special assistant to the chancellor for athletic and academic reform, a position in which he would advance "a national agenda for the reform of intercollegiate athletics." conglate a team. "Let there be no misunderstanding of our intention: Vanderbilt is committed to competing at the highest levels in the Southeastern Conference and the NCAA, but we intend on compet- mg consistent with the values of a world-class university." Gee said. Vanderbilt's sports programs have had mixed success in recent years. The football program has lost 18 straight Southeastern Conference games and 27 of its last 28 SEC games, beating only Kentucky in 2000. The women's basketball team went to the NCAA regional tournament last year and lost in the second round while the men's basketball team finished 11-18. The men's tennis team was second in the nation.

Today's birthday there are lots of changes going on at home this year. Having a budget and a plan helps, but you should also welcome suggestions. People with skills different than your own will be a big help. But you make the final decisions. To get the advantage, check the day's rating; 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 4 Hiding out isn't one of your favorite games, but you can do it when you must. Changes going on now make it important to be flexible. Be invisible, too, if you can. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is an 8 You may be growing impatient with those who can't make up their minds. Don't make the decision for them, though. They're starting to figure it out. Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 5 Although your mind is full of questions, it's more helpful if you offer suggestions. Keep track of what the others think, too. Keep channels of communication open. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is an 8 Others look to you for answers, but you don't have them all. Some of the things you try won't work. Stay upbeat and try again. And be willing to compromise. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 5 The temptation to splurge may be strong, but your willpower is stronger. Don't buy much of anything now not even a gift for a loved one. It can wait. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a7 inere's a strange love-hate relationship going on. You and your antagonist have something that ties you together. One of you is Ying, the other Yang. Now, decide which is which. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 5 Modifications will be required to get your fantasy to manifest. Continue to do the research, and practice, practice, practice. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7 There may not be enough money for you to do everything you want. Let others know your limitations, and proceed accordingly. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 5 It may seem as if others refuse to see the facts. Just because they're arguing doesn't mean they can't hear what you're saying. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is an 8 You're in pretty good shape, though it's difficult for some others. Don't try to solve all their problems. That's futile. Just referee if asked. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 4 The good news is that work you've done could soon bring in more money. Use it to replenish your savings account and maybe to pay off a few bills. No new toys yet. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a7 irs best not to confront an authority figure directly, at least not by yourself. If you can convince a partner to come, there's a better chance you'll be heard.

Now it's up to U.S. anti-doping officials. The International Association of Athletics Federations ruled yesterday that White committed a doping offense when she was positive for a stimulant and should lose her titles in the 100 and 200 meters. The IAAF rejected White's explanation that she took the drug for a sleep disorder and sent the case to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency for a hearing and disciplinary action. Rich Wanninger, a spokesman for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, said his organization had not received any information from the IAAF as of yesterday afternoon. Once that information is received, Wanninger said, the agency will begin a review process that could last months. The IAAF made clear it expects U.S. authorities to remove White's medals. "The proper sanction under IAAF rules will be a public warning and disqualification from the competition concerned." IAAF general secretary Gyulian Gyalai said. Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland. "She is disqualified only at the end of the procedure because further legal issues need to be exhausted." Gyulai told The Associated Press by phone from IAAF headquarters in Monaco. "This can only happen after she has been given a hearing by her national federation." White, the first American woman to sweep the sprint events at the worlds, tested positive for modafinil after winning the 100 on Aug. 24. She passed a drug test after winning the 200 four days later. If the IAAF isn't satisfied with the U.S. action, the international body would take the case to the The IAAF gave White until yesterday to produce medical documents explaining her drug use. She said her personal doctor prescribed the medication for narcolepsy. "The explanation has been studied and turned down." Gyulai said. "Our experts have determined the stimulant is performance-enhancing." White was unavailable for comment yesterday. She said last week she would fight to keep her medals "Whatever I have to do to keep them, I will do that," she said. Modafinil is not on the sport's list of banned drugs, but the IAAF says it falls under the category of "related substances." White denied taking the medication to enhance performance and said she didn't know it contained a banned substance. However, she did not declare modafinil on her doping control form as required or apply for a medical exemption to use the product. The IAAF ruled last Wednesday that modafinil was a minor stimulant, similar to ephedrine, and carries a penalty of a public warning and disqualification. The decision allowed White to continue competing. Had Modafinil, sold in the United States under the name Provigil, been classified as a stronger stimulant. White would have a two-year ban and be ineligible for the 2004 Olympics. Although White was clean after the 200, the IAAF considers one positive test enough for disqualification from the championships If White loses the medals, the golds would go to fellow American spinner Torri Edwards in the 100 and Russia's Anastasiya Kapachinskaya in the 200. White would also lose the $120,000 in prize money she won at the worlds. Under the sport's policy of strict liability, athletes are deemed guilty of a doping violation if banned substances are found in their bodies, regardless of circumstance. Red Lepen Tavern White competed at the Golden League meet in Brussels, Belgium, last Friday and won the 100 in 10.87 seconds.

The memories of where people were when they heard about the attacks haven't diminished in the two years that have followed. "It was like the bombing of Pearl Harbor for my father's generation, and the Kennedy assassination for my generation," said Karl Brooks, professor of history at the University of Kansas. "Everyone knows exactly where they were when they heard." September 11,2001. 8:48 a.m. Preliminary media reports are in that the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City is on fire. ter in New York City was "I was in my 8:30 international relations class," said Devin Graham, St. Louis senior. "My mom kept calling my cell phone, but I didn't answer. After class I called her back and found out what was happening." 9:02 a.m. As the North Tower burns, United Airlines flight 175, bound for Los Angeles, veers into the South Tower spilling hundreds of tons of jet fuel which instantly incinerates all 65 passengers on board and many inside the building. THE MEMORIAL Z. Gordon Straus/Kansai "I had just gotten to second-hour history when the second plane hit," said Sarah Henry, Wichita freshman. "Everyone just stood and stared at the TV." American Airlines flight 77, bound for Los Angeles, crashes into the Pentagon tearing a gap hole in one side. All 64 people on the plane are killed, as are 125 people inside the Pentagon. 9:37 a.m. CAMPUS EVENTS TODAY "I was in Washington D.C in a meeting at the Supreme Court when the Pentagon was hit," Brooks said. "You could see the column of smoke rising in the distance." The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics will host a "Day of Reflection" with events scheduled throughout the day: 10:03 a.m. United flight 93, bound for San Francisco, crashes into a field outside of Pittsburgh. All 44 people on board are killed. 8 a.m.: Flag-raising ceremony with an Army band in front of the Dole Institute's reflecting pool. 8 a.m. to noon: The public is invited to sign a book of remembrance, which will be sent to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the people of New York. 2 p.m.: A naturalization ceremony in which 150 people will be granted citizenship. The Kansas University Religious Advisers will have a table set up outside Danforth Chapel where anyone interested can go and pray or talk to a minister. Two steel beams from the World Trade Center sit in cases underneath the world's largest stained glass American flag at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. The Institute will host a "Day of Reflection" in remembrance of the lives lost during the Sept. 11 attacks two years ago. Reports later revealed that flight 93 was hijacked in hopes of crashing it into Air Force One or the White House. Force One of the White House "I walked into class and none of the students had heard yet," said Robert Antonio, professor of sociology at Kansas. "A student I had that semester was close friends with one of the people who charged the cabin of flight 93." 10:05 a.m. 10:59 a.m. Although it was hit second, the South Tower collapses under its own weight. Upon hitting the ground, it blasts a plume of smoke and debris through the New York City streets which sends thousands of civilians running for cover. "Since the attacks, as a country we have become much more aware of our place in the world," Antonio said. "There's a lot of fear and paranoia that was not present before." "Not since the Civil War has the level of national security been so high," said Brooks. The increasing threat of terrorism and heightened sense of awareness has led the United States government to drastically increase security measures in all aspects of everyday life. The attacks even brought about a new government position, Director of Homeland Security, whose job is to measure the relative threat that terrorism poses to the country at any particular time. 10:28 a.m. The North Tower collapses 104 minutes after it is hit sending a second blast of Male teachers wanted Public school teachers are becoming fewer, men hard to find SEE SEPT.11 on PAGE 6A By Steve Schmidt sschmidt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The few, the proud, the male public school teachers. How men measure up In the U.S., female teachers outnumbered males almost 4-1 in 2001. 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 1961 1966 1971 1976 1981 1986 1991 1996 2001 male female According to a survey released on Aug. 27 by the National Education Association, the number of male public school teachers is at a 40-year low. The most recent results for 2001 show that 21 percent of teachers were male. 1961|1966|1971|1976|1981|1986|1991|1996|2001 male female Source: National Education Association. percent since 1981, the male to female ratio of teachers has been on the decline, including a 12 percent decline from 1981 to 2001. Andrew Easton, Gillespie, Ill., junior plans to be a high-school English teacher, following the footsteps of his father and grandfather into the profession. Sean Smith/Kansan Easton was drawn to teaching after being inspired by two teachers in high school—both of them male. "They had such a positive impact," he said. "I just wish I could have a positive impact the same way that my teachers affected me." Only nine percent of elementary school teachers were male, and only 35 percent taught in secondary schools. Males comprised 57 percent of secondary school teachers in 1961 — a 22 percent decline. cent decline. The survey, entitled Status of the American Public School Teacher, has been conducted every five years since 1961. Coincidentally, the regional statistics for the Midwest are the exact same as the national numbers — 21 percent of teachers are male. Jack Schreiner said the reason for the decline was basically two-fold. Schreiner is an American history and psychology teacher at Free State High School. "The whole idea that teaching is a noble profession is down by the wayside. It's not perceived as being the professional career as it once was. That's the general feeling." Schreiner said. "Secondly, it all comes down to pay." years in the profession. "When I wake up in the morning, I'm exited to go to work. I don't think a lot of the people in the work force can say that," Schreiner said. "There's a difference in waking up and doing a job that you want to to as compared to a job that you wake up for the money." oily, it can come in the office. He has taught in the Lawrence area since 1977. He said his job had given him a daily dose of enjoyment during his 30 years in the profession. But school associate dean Fred Rodriguez said the male ratio was now closer to 20 percent. The latest numbers available for the KU School of Education show that in 2001.35 percent of the school was male. "As a whole the School of Education probably reflects the national numbers in terms of the make up of students preparing to be teachers," he said. Rodriguez said that historically, teaching had been a female-dominant profession, but also said that it was constantly changing. For example, he said that school administration positions used to be predominantly served by mer, but now that is not always the case. "Demographically we've changed and continually do change," Rodriguez said. "We're constantly seeing a shift." Easton said the personal satisfaction he would get from his job would outweigh a large paycheck. He said he wished other people who have pondered about becoming a teacher would have the same mentality. "I think there's too many times when they're trying to decide a major and think only about monetary gain," Easton said. "They don't consider that it might be something flat out love to do." Easton said he hoped that more men would want to teach so they could inspire other kids to pursue the profession. Edited by Abby Sidesinger Students seek help for grad schools Ayesha Johannes has no idea where she'll be one year from now. By Robert Perkins rperkins@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Like many seniors, the Bombay, India, anthropology major, said she thought she wanted to go to graduate school. But she isn't sure where to apply and how to prepare. She blames a lack of advising provided by the University of Kansas. "There's no info to help you," she said. "It's so hard to figure this out on your own." For students interested in law school, medical school or the working world, the University has full-time advisors. But for students like Johannes, who aren't sure what they want to do but are sure they want to go to graduate school, the University has no central resource. Pamela Houston, the director of the college of liberal arts and sciences, said that pre-graduate school advising was an area in which the University hadn't provided enough help for students. 1 The problem with using professors for advisors is that they are already busy with their classes and often have a lot of students who need their help, said Kent McAnally, assistant director of University Career and Employment Services. Instead, students are supposed to rely on professors in their department for advice. A CEE ADVISING ON PAGE 6A 1 in other words "What you saw until now are only the first skirmishes.

The officers will try to find a way to get water to the building in case of a car fire. Capt, Mark Bradford said because there was limited access to the sprinkler deficient four-story building, the department needed to find out how to get into the building before a real fire started. Bradford said the fire department's water connection was located in a difficult place to access if the streets were full because of a KU basketball game, for example. The connection is on the corner of the building between Allen Fieldhouse and the parking lot. If a car caught fire after a basketball game, Bradford said the department would need to find another water source. The fire and medical department does these studies on all city buildings that would suffer high damage or life loss if there was a fire. — Maggie Newcomer kansas State turnpike problems possible; officials see flood as unusual TOPEKA—The leaders of three state agencies said yesterday they believed an unusually intense storm was the main reason flooding along the Kansas Turnpike killed six people last month. According to one estimate, the Aug. 30 storm dumped more than nine inches of rain in six hours along the turnpike, about 11 miles southwest of Emporia at the Lyon-Chase county border along Jacob Creek. Five of six members of a Glenaire, Mo., family died, as did a Fort Worth, Texas, man. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius ordered the Kansas Highway Patrol, the Department of Transportation and the Kansas Turnpike Authority to review the tragedy, to see whether it could have been prevented. A preliminary report from the U.S. Geological Survey, released Monday, said the flooding was more than three times what the turnpike's drainage system could handle. Women charged with leading teenagers on vandalism spree KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A woman has been charged with supplying alcohol to her daughter and other high school students and driving around with the teens, drinking and spray-painting street signs. Bonnie S. Brown, 45, of Kansas City, Kan., turned herself in yesterday. She was charged Friday with contributing to a child's misconduct and criminal damage, both felonies. She also faces one misdemeanor count of endangering a child and six misdemeanor counts of furnishing alcohol to a minor. Authorities began investigating Brown after her daughter and another 15-year old girl were seriously injured in a car accident around 1 a.m. on July 28 in the Piper area. Police said officers could smell alcohol on the girls' breath, and alcohol and beer containers were in the vehicle. She faces over $200,000 in fines and nearly 70 months in jail on all the charges if convicted. The Associated Press Corrections - Tuesday's University Daily Kansan contained an error.

Thirty area restaurants, caterers and specialty shops set up booths on the lawn next to Meadowbrook Apartments, 15th and Crestline streets. Attendees sampled items such as fudge, chicken lo mein and spareribs. Music was provided by the Junkyard Jazz Band, as the wind spread the aroma of food throughout the crowd. "It provides an opportunity to say thanks to educators," said Cathy Lewis, vice president of Chamber membership. "People can network and relax in the atmosphere." The event was sponsored by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and Lawrence Education Achievement Partners. Achelm LeAP was formed by the Chamber and Lawrence Public Schools to establish partnerships between schools and community businesses and organizations. LEAP sponsors events such as tutoring, job shadowing and after-school programming. Educators from the University of Kansas paid $20 for 20 tickets, which could be exchanged for food from vendors. Each vendor decided how many tickets its food would be worth and would be reimbursed Kindergarten through 12thgrade educators were sponsored by the Chamber and paid $10 for 20 tickets. that amount. Lewis said money from the tickets would fund vendor reimbursement, local scholarships and the Chamber. He said the event drew more than 1,700 people, setting a record for the mixer. Chancellor Robert Hemenway said he enjoyed going out and talking with people. "This is a great opportunity for people at the University, schools and the business community to come together to celebrate the start of the school year," he said. LEAP also sold chances to win the Hawk of the Arts sculpture from the Jayhawks on Parade series.

A winner will be picked Sept. 22. —Edited by Jonathan Reeder Free vouchers to lecture still available, but going fast By Meghan Brune mbrune@kansan.com Kansan staff writer On Monday, Student Union Activities had already handed out 700 free vouchers to the public for A Conversation with Janet Reno, the first day tickets were available. Even though ticket distribution has been brisk, tickets are still available. Exact amounts were not available yesterday. Reno will speak at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept.25, at the Lied Center. Reno served as United States Attorney General under President Clinton beginning in 1993. She was the first woman to hold this position. She was also the first woman to serve as state attorney of Florida. In 2002 she ran for Florida governor, but lost to Jeb Bush. Josh Steward, Hays junior, said he had tickets to the lecture. While he was on the "opposite side of the fence" politically, Steward, College Republicans vice president, said he was interested to hear about Reno's rise to power. Reno "She started low down on the food chain and had amazing success," Steward said. Tom Keating, Young Democrats president, said he thought that students could learn from Reno's struggles. She overcame the barrier of being a woman lawyer, Keating said. Reno's national profile has made her a popular ticket. Sean Pauzauskie, SUA forums committee coordinator, said he thought students would be interested to hear Reno speak. "Janet Reno is a perfect example of why opportunity is important in this country." Keating, a Marysville junior, said. "A lot of big things happened while she was in office," Pauzauskie said. Some of the "big things" Reno oversaw include the 1993 raid of a religious compound in Waco, Texas, the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 and the deportation of the Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez in 1999. Pauzauskie, Topeka senior, said Reno would be the biggest name of the semester. To book Reno, SUA and the law school paid $20,000, about as much as SUA paid for famous feminist Gloria Steinem. Without the dual sponsorship, Pauzauskie said SUA would have had to charge admission. SUA hoped to fill the Lied Center, which has a capacity of 1,888.Monday's brisk ticket sales got the goal off to a quick start. Ten minutes before the lecture, open seats will be given to people without tickets. The law school has tried to get Reno to come to the University before, said Jennifer Colaner, events coordinator for the law school. Before her evening presentation, Reno will speak to three constitutional and criminal procedures law classes. Last spring Reno spoke at Wichita State University, but couldn't make it to Lawrence, Colaner said. Jennifer Sager, an Olathe second year law student, said she was excited to hear Reno speak in her constitutional law class. Last year Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas spoke in one of Sager's classes. She said she thought students would have a better opportunity to ask Reno questions because the class was small. "I think it will be interesting to hear about what it takes to be a female and succeed," Sager said. The law school was able to pay for the event through several funds — the Stephenson Lecture in Law and Government fund, the Waldron-Foster Professionalism fund, the JKL基金 and the Robert McKay fund. Steve McAllister, dean of the law school, said he heard Reno speak once before while he was working for Supreme Court Justice Byron R. White in Washington, D.C. McAllister said that Reno was a good model of professionalism and ethics, a guideline for the Waldron-Foster fund. "The hope is that students will learn from her governmental knowledge, as well as her life experience." McAllister said. McAllister said that one of his students suggested they request a Janet Reno dance party, in the style of Saturday Night Live. "I don't know that we will get her dancing here," McAllister said. — Edited by Shane Mettlen September 11: A Day of Reflection The Dole Institute of Politics invites you to visit us between 8 a.m. and noon today to remember those we lost and support those that grieve. 8:00 a.m. Ceremonial Flag-Raising Local Scout Contingent 8:00 a.m. Institute Open to the Public; to Noon World Trade Center Memorial; Signing of Book of Remembrance (to be sent by Sen.

SPRISN THE DAILY KANBAN©2003 important GOD E R S 746 Zach Stinson for The University Daily Kansan Two years later: U.S. still looking for a friend Sitting in a cab this summer in Belgium, a familiar thought crossed my mind; Sept. 11. It had been a long time Not that I wanted to renew acquaintances with that surreal day. But the cab's driver, a French-speaking Morrocan, was piqed by my American-style French. He began peppering me with questions about American life. He had some family in San Francisco; he'd thought about visiting them once. He asked me where I was from, and I told him I was from New Jersey. He didn't know that was, so I told him it was near New York. GUEST COMMENTARY That led us to l'onze Septembre Sept. 11. 图示 I asked him if he'd felt bad for America. He certainly had, he said. He'd even cried when he saw video of a man falling from one of towers. It was, he said, a horrible day for everyone. The driver wasn't so sure how he felt about America lately, though. He said he understood America had to act in Afghanistan. But Iraq was something different. It had changed his mind about the United States. Henry C. Jackson opinion@kansan.com "Je ne suis pas sûr que les Etats-Unis sont mon ami," he said. "I'm not sure if the United States is my friend." My cab driver isn't the only one. It's been a long time since the rest of the world liked America. Just a little over two years, to be precise. Nowadays, the United States has only one consistent wingman — our old pals Britain — and a slew of acquaintances with strained relationships. Remember when Sept. 11 made the stars and stripes look sympathetic? In France they do. Le Monde, the venerable French newspaper, declared on Sept. 12, 2001, that "we are all Americans." The French government also was quick to send its condolences and offer support. Just two years later in Evian, France, at the G-8 summit this June, France's president, Jaques Chirac and the U.S. president, George W. Bush looked like ex-lovers — awkward, trying in vain to look normal and painfully unsure how to make things normal again. France might not be important, as the proprietors of "freedom fries" are quick to tell you. The only problem is, everyone else is ditching America at the party too. It's not that America didn't have the right to punch back. Firing back after Sept. 11 was one of those rare moments for a superpower, when flexing its muscles didn't seem arrogant. Germany left after with the war in Iraq became unavoidable. Most of the Arab world didn't make it to Afghanistan. Even the British populous — though certainly not Tony Blair — has chafed at the U.S.'s bravado post-Sept. 11. Unfortunately, President Bush and co fell into a familiar trap. After a throwing a punch, they failed to ask "What's the next step?" or perhaps more importantly, "What's the step after the next step?" Both Iraq and Afghanistan can now accurately be classed as quagmires. Death tolls and domestic terror incidents are piling up in Iraq. Afghanistan — the forgotten conflict — sees allies barely maintaining control in the capitol, let alone the country's unruly provinces. All the while, the United States has worn out its welcome as international darling; post-Sept. 11 bloodlust has fogged rearviews around the world, even here in the United States. The next most logical step is the most difficult: finding the way to go home. The task will be hard — that's why they call quagmires quagmires. And the stakes are as high as they have ever been. But the United States needs to find a way out of this rageful fistfight. Two years later Sept. 11 still happened and the United States is still struggling with the wounds terrorism inflicted. The trick now will be to avoid fresh, self-inflicted ones. face-off Jackson is a long Valley, N.J., senior in journalism. He is a Kansan campus editor. Should KU Blood Drive allow gay male donors? Regulation needs overhaul | Studies vindicate practice The recent Student Senate bill to fund the fall semester blood drive has once again brought to light the discriminatory practices of the Food and Drug Administration. Government regulations prohibit men who have had sex with another man since 1977 from donating blood regardless of their sexual practices, the use of condoms or the frequency with which they engage in sexual activity. This regulation is long overdue for an overhaul. Different institutions may disagree on the exact percentage of new HIV cases that originate from men who have homosexual relations, but one thing is true: Men who have sex with men are at the highest risk for contracting HIV. What is surprising, though, is the fact that men and women who contract HIV through heterosexual sex are the second-highest risk category—and most of those cases involve women. Intravenous drug use, which also appears on the screening questionnaire, is the third-highest category of risk. Heterosexual women who contract HIV outnumber IV drug users. AfricanAmerican individuals are in the highest risk category by race. Are we going to deny all African-Americans or heterosexual women the opportunity to donate blood? Would such a regulation ever stand up under scrutiny? The answer is no, and therefore the FDA should not discriminate against gay men either. Everyone who has irresponsible unprotected sex puts himself or herself at risk for contracting HIV. If the goal of the screening process is to reduce the chance of HIV getting into the nation's blood supply, why isn't everyone quizzed about how often they have unprotected sex and with how many people said sex has occurred? The regulations will deny a homosexual man who always has monogamous sex and always uses condoms, while a heterosexual woman who never uses prophylactics and sleeps with a different man every weekend is more than welcome to give. If fully realize the importance of keeping our blood supply HIV-free. Certain sexual behaviors put one at higher risk than Face-Off is a project of the Kansan editorial board. Two editorial board members argue opposing sides of a hot-button issue that affects students at the University of Kansas. This section is designed to help students understand opposing sides of an issue and make informed decisions. The FDA should remove all questions pertaining to a person's sexual orientation and sexuality from the questionnaire. Instead, the first question about sexual behavior a donor is asked should be, "Have you had unprotected, irresponsible sex with anyone since 1977?" others. But marginalizing an entire class of people is inappropriate in any instance. Readers who have a suggestion for a topic that could be used in Face-Off or wish to join the editorial board, please call Louise Stauffer or Stephen Shupe at 864-4924. E-mail suggestions to opinion@ kansan.com. Until the FDA rescinds this controversial regulation, we relegate gay men to handing out cookies and screening eager donors if they want to help with the blood drive. Why don't we just assign gay men their own drinking fountains while we're at it? Patrick Ross for the editorial board Once again, we face the perennial issue of the "discriminatory" practices of the KU blood drive against gay men. It is on the basis of statistics garnered through government research, and not on the basis of small-minded bigotry that gay men are rejected as donors for the KU blood drive. Right now, according to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, men who have sex with other men, who the It is true that all blood is tested after collection from a donor. These tests are becoming even more sensitive for HIV antibodies, and the risk of contracting HIV from a transfusion is indeed minimal. However, "testing" does not begin at the laboratory with a blood sample in a tube. It begins with the questionnaire CDC calls "MSMs," account for 63 percent of all HIV infections. What is more, MSMs, at 60 percent, are adding more new cases of HIV to the male population than any other group. Admittedly, demographics of infection are shifting with time. Yet in the view of the CDC, the MSM group remains at an "alarming" risk for HIV/AIDS. all blood donors must complete prior to donation. This questionnaire, produced by the Food and Drug Administration, attempts to screen out donors who are at a high risk for having unsatisfactory blood. It is at this point that "discrimination" re-enters the picture. The questions do not discriminate against a potential donor's identity (i.e.the gay man's), rather they screen against high-risk behavior or occurrences. A straight man who had been sexually assaulted by another man would, assuming he answered honestly, be rejected from giving blood. Is he gay? No. Is he an MSM and therefore at high risk? You'd better believe it. The converse might also be surprising. Consider the case of a man that was in fact gay in orientation but was totally sexually inactive and had always been so. Is he gay? Of course. Is he an MSM? No way. Can he give blood? Most certainly. Undoubtedly, there are groups in America who still feel discriminated against, even today. Gay men are certainly one of these groups. However, the FDA's rejection of a gay man's blood cannot be construed as malicious discrimination. The FDA does not discriminate against any gay man in America, and in fact they never have. From a statistical standpoint, as the above examples indicate, the FDA couldn't care less about a donor's sexual orientation. The FDA discriminates against high-risk behavior, not lifestyle. latt Pirotte dissenting 1. 0 thursday, September 11. 2003 news the university daily kansan 5A Multicultural success focus of conference By Johanna M. Maska jmaska@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Hemay have four years of school to go, but Addam Fulson is already preparing for the job market. The Lenexa freshman was one of about 200 students who came to the Multicultural Student Success Conference yesterday afternoon at the Kansas Union ballroom. HOTELS & RESORTS More than 30 organizations showcased opportunities for minority students. Speakers, break-out sessions and food were also part of the package. The conference's keynote speaker was Rickey Jones, C.E.O of the Way Group, a global church support group. Affirmative action and quotas are a thing of the past, Jones said. The Supreme Court's decision abolishing the University of Michigan's admissions standards overturned programs that had helped minority students, he said. Michigan had used a point system allotting points to under-represented minorities. Now they have to help themselves, Jones said. Sometimes companies won't be racially discriminating, but they hire someone based on fam lv or friend connections, he said. Matthew Stafford, a Merck pharmaceutical representative, discussed employment opportunities with Robin Zazove, Arlington Heights, Ill., senior, at the Multicultural Student Success Conference yesterday. Held at the Ballroom of the Kansas Union, the event featured speakers, activities and a job fair with corporate booths. "Students have to arm themselves to compete," Jones said. Z. Gordon Straus/Kansan tony Daniels, associate director of the office of multicultural affairs, was the man of the evening. Daniels has worked to prepare the conference since the first conference last year. "It's good, real good," he said with a smile. Before Jones spoke, an Inroads representative attracted about 20 students seeking applications, and Fulson was among them. Inroads seeks minority applicants for various corporate internships. After Fulson turns his application in, the company will contact him with available opportunities. Philip Morris, ROTC, Sears, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Teach for America also sent representatives. Most representatives showed a diverse team. John Cathcart-Rake, Teach for America representative, came last year. He said the conference had grown. Teach for America is a program that recruits graduating seniors to teach for two years in areas with struggling school systems. Although Teach for America targets those graduating, interested freshman still picked up pamphlets. are getting information and they may not have known of the opportunity" Daniels said. "We have a lot of students that Mark Dupree, Kansas City, senior, said the conference showed the University's commitment to minority success. At the conference Dupree chatted with a Philip Morris representative. Though he may not be working for Phillip Morris next year, he said the conference was a success. "The Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Multicultural Resource Center are doing a great job," Dupree said. - Edited by JJ Hensley Bill gives all senators opportunity to speak By Paul Kramer pkramer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer A resolution passed last night that will encourage Student Senators to hear every senator's voice during debates. The bill, which will be voted on at next week's full Senate meeting, was brought up at committee meetings last night. bill was rushed. Kevin McKenzie, University affairs committee member, said there had been many instances already this year where pro and con speeches went unheard because a motion to vote on the "With last week's election bill, I had something to say that I thought was important that didn't get heard," McKenzie said. A similar bill was proposed and passed last year. McKenzie said that although the bill was passed every year, it was a good reminder for senators to make sure all opinions could be voiced at Senate meetings. In other Committee news: failed the student rights committee. Scott McKenzie, CLAS senator and co-author of the resolution, said he was disappointed that senators failed Leonard Peltier, jailed Native American activist, will not receive support from the Senate. A resolution to support Peltier STUDENT THE UNIVERSITY OF BASSEL SENATE senators failed the bill. "Some of them just don't understand the facts of the case and don't have the background," McKenzie said. The Scooter Hawks group, which advocates the use of motorized scooters for environmental reasons, received $431 for advertising. Luke Middleton, member of Scooter Hawks, said the majority of the money would go to advertising an Oct. 4 rally scheduled to go down Massachusetts Street that will be open to all scooter riders. The rally will begin at South Park, 12th and Massachusetts streets, at a yet-to-be-determined time. - Those students making a dash from the Allen Fieldhouse parking garage to Green Hall, east of the Burge Union, may soon have the luxury of a crosswalk. An amendment to a crosswalk bill mandated that a study be done on the effects of the crosswalk. James Owen, Law School senator and author of the bill, said the increased safety of crossing Irving Hill Drive via a crosswalk, outweighed the possibility of a minor inconvenience to traffic flow. Students wishing to speak on an issue at full Senate meetings will still have to go through a senator to gain the privilege. A bill to allow all students speaking rights at Senate meetings, without deferral from a recognized senator, failed in the University affairs committee. —Edited by Neeley Spellmeier Then take classes through EduKan! kansan.com Can't get into the classes you need this semester?

Even without an organized advising system, students are making their way to graduate school. Scott Roberts, Arma senior, said that he hadn't had any serious problems getting ready for his next step in education. "I just found people who were in the area I'm interested in, and they were all pretty helpful." he said. Though his applications are in, he said that he would definitely be interested in going to an advising center, if the University had one. Both McAnally and Houston said that they would like to see the University create an office for pregraduate school advising. "I think there needs to be some coordination to find the gaps in help," Houston said. "But it's hard to find the resources to do that." Though they have talked about it with their coworkers, neither McAnally nor Houston has discussed improving pre-graduate school advising with any administrators vet. Marlesa Roney, the University's new vice provost for Student Success, said that the traditional model of having students talk to their professors worked well. However, she said, there was always room for improvement She said that the new Student Success organization would explore ways to provide better service to students in this area. Given the resources, McAnally said UCES could expand its services to include an office for pregraduate school advising. The advantage of this plan would be that advisors could not only help students figure out how to get to graduate school, but if they even need to go to graduate school in the first place. He said a lot of people went to graduate school for the wrong reasons — the slump in the economy being a popular one right now. "It's an excuse, not really a good reason to go," he said. "If you know you want to go, that's great. But if you just think you can't get a job, think again." Johannes wants to go because she still isn't sure what she wants to do with her life. "I haven't decided yet, and I'm just hoping that two years in grad school will help me figure it out," she said. Johannes said that finding her way to graduate school to "figure it all out," would be made much easier if she had somewhere she knew she could go to get advice. "If they started that place, I'd be the first one in line," she said. — Edited by Abby Sidesinger SEPT11: Americans still scared CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A debris into the city streets. Official figures put the number killed in the Trade Center attacks at 2,819. Of this number 1,717 families of victims received no remains. Two years have passed since the attacks, but recent polls show Americans are just as fearful today of terrorist attacks as they were in the days after the Sept. 11 attacks, Antonio said. "The American state of mind has undoubtedly changed in the two years since the attacks," said Antonio. "Just the intensity of feelings involved with being an American is different." Kristen Reynolds, Atlantic City, NJ senior, has mixed thoughts. "It's still scary when I fly sometimes. The thoughts are always in the back of my mind. I do feel safe for the most part though," Reynolds said, standing in front of the Kansas Union with a few other students. A plane flies by overhead and a few people look up to see it. One stares until it disappears, safely for now, over the Western horizon. — Edited by JJ Hensley Video of bin Laden aired The Associated Press BEIRUT, Lebanon — The first video image of Osama bin Laden in nearly two years was broadcast on Al-Jazeera TV yesterday, the eve of the second anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. The Al Qaeda leader was shown walking through rocky terrain with his top aide, both carrying assault rifles. In an eight-minute audiotape accompanying the video footage, a speaker identified as bin Laden praises the "great damage to the enemy" Sept. 11 and mentions five hijackers by name. On a second tape, a voice said to be that of chief deputy Ayman al-Zawahri threatens more attacks on Americans and calls on Iraqi guerrillas to "bury" U.S. troops. According to terrorism experts, such tapes reassure Al Qaeda sympathizers that the terror network is still a force and its leaders still active and in seeming good health. A tape showing bin Laden would be crucial to that effort and the timing — a day before the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, blamed on Al Qaeda — highly symbolic. Al-Jazeera said the tapes were produced in late April or early May, but the Arab satellite channel did not say how or when it obtained them. The backdrop in the video resembled the border regions between Afghanistan and Pakistan, where U.S. officials believe bin Laden is hiding out. U. S. intelligence officials will review the tapes to try to determine if they are authentic and when and where they were made, officials in Washington said. Messages from Al Queda leaders are sometimes viewed as pre- saging an attack. Press reports from the Mideast over the last week had suggested a new bin Laden video was set to air yesterday, one U.S. official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. The Department of Homeland Security previously said it did not plan to raise the national terror threat level above its current position at yellow, signifying an elevated threat of attack. The voice identified as bin Laden praises the Sept. 11 hijackers. He makes no direct threaten- ing remarks, but the voice said to be al-Zawahri threatens more attacks on Americans. In an audiotape, the speaker said to al-Zawahri refers to U.S. troops in Iraq — an indication that it was made after American troops entered Iraq last March. Numbers deemed deceiving The Associated Press WICHITA — The state's claim that only 18 human cases of the West Nile virus have been found in Kansas is misleading and is keeping people from being tested for the disease, a Wichita doctor said yesterday. State officials acknowledge that the narrow criteria used to record human cases severely underestimates the number of Kansans who likely have contracted the virus — perhaps by thousands. But a vast majority of those cases are mild, with many people not ever developing symptoms. Nonetheless, Governor Kathleen Belelius said Wednesday that health officials were evaluating the state's decision to record only West Nile cases that develop into encephalitis or meningitis. taking the calls, how the cases are being counted and reported," the governor said. "We want as accurate a figure as possible, and (health officials are) concerned that we figure out if it's been done properly and, if not, correct the protocol." "There are issues under way right now about assessing whose Tom Moore, an infectious disease specialist in Wichita, called the state's recording only 18 cases "laughable." "It is misleading to the public," Moore said. "And that is disconcerting because a majority of people I'm speaking to aren't taking precautions against the virus. They are very dismissive of West Nile, and that could be because they are hearing that it's very, very rare in Kansas." Moore said he had lost count of the number of West Nile cases he had treated this summer, but he had seen "easily three dozen cases in the last two weeks." He said most patients — and some doctors — believed the headaches or fevers reported by the patients are simply the flu. Headaches and fevers are among the main symptoms of West Nile. "Given the lack of information, because nobody is gathering data on patients, there is no way to know how many have West Nile," Moore said. "It is easily within the realm of possibility that several hundred, possibly thousands, of Kansans have symptomatic West Nile." Sharon Watson, a representative for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said the federal government gave states wide latitude in how they count West Nile cases. For example, as of Tuesday, Colorado reported 1,252 cases of the virus, the most in the nation. But that state counts all West Nile cases that develop into fever, meningitis and encephalitis — with 77 percent of its cases involving only fever.

But after starter Ell Roberson left with more than seven minutes remaining in the second quarter of the Wildcats' 55-14 win over McNeese State, that's exactly what K-State must deal with. The hit came as Robertson unloaded a pass deep downfield on third-and-long deep in the Wildcats' own territory. He got up slowly, holding his left, nonthrowing hand gingerly. Then he slowly walked to the sideline, visibly upset. Roberson would not return to the game, spending the second half near the bench with his hand wrapped in a towel. After the game, offensive coordinator Greg Peterson believed Roberson's injury was minor. But less than 12 hours later, head coach Bill Snider said the injury was more serious than originally thought. "I'm not going to be specific about it," Snyder said. "But in all reality it appears that we will likely be without him for a period of time." When asked when Roberson would be available, Snyder hesitated. "That will kind of depend on his progress," he said. "There is no time, no date set when we'll get him back. We just don't know vet." Sources close to the program have indicated Roberson has a broken finger, similar to the injury he sustained on the same hand last season against Louisiana-Monroe. He missed his next start against Eastern Illinois, but returned in time to lead K-State past thenno.11 Southern California. This time, the question is whether Roberson will be available three weeks from now, when the Cats travel to Austin, Texas, to play the No. 5 Longhorns. on Roberson, for the next few games, another door may be opening for backups Jeff Schwinn and Dvlan Meier. Schwinn took over for K-State's final two series of the first half, one of them a three-and-out and the other resulting in a missed field goal. While the door may be closing He fared little better in the second half, finishing the game 5-of-14 for 83 yards and no touchdowns. He engineered just two scoring drives, one capped by a 1-yard quarterback sneak for a touchdown after a blocked punt, and the other resulting in a 44-yard field goal by Joe Rheem. Meier, meanwhile, threw an interception in his, only attempt, but managed to lead the Wildcats to two touchdowns. Meier showed Roberson-like elusiveness on one play in particular, a 15-yard scramble up the middle that saw the redshirt freshman dodge two Cowboy linebackers and plow into the end zone. CU player sued by industry By Anthony J. Cerretani Colorado Daily via U-wire University of Colorado networks. Colorado football player Matt McChesney was one of those sued. BOULDER, Colo. — The Recording Industry Association of America announced Monday that its member companies were suing major offenders who illegally distribute substantial amounts of copyrighted music on peer-to-peer "I don't know anything about that," said Colorado football coach Gary Barnett Tuesday. "It's a new page in my player's manual." McChesney was unable to be reached for comment Tuesday. According to assistant Athletic Director and Sports Information director David Plati, McChesney is upset by the suit. McChesney was already suspended from CU for violating the school conduct code. McChesney had two contacts with authorities in 2001 for underage drinking and possession of drug paraphernalia. Hewas reinstated in good standing in June. VOLLEYBALL: Winning ways smash opponents CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A Alongside Lima and Correa, Ashley Bechard and Sarah Rome added solid performances. Bechard, had a match high 43 assists. The junior setter continued to play well after a career-high 65 assists against Dayton last weekend. Rome, a senior outside hitter, tal lied eleven kills, and only one error.

The Kansas men's and women's cross country teams both finished first in the meet. Aaron Showalter/Kansan The Kansas men's and women's cross country teams are heading to Topeka this weekend to compete in the Kansas State Wildcat Invitational. Cross country to compete against K-State in Topeka Though the meet will not affect conference or regional standings, Brian Raggett, Overland Park senior, said it would be a worthwhile trip. By Sean O'Grady sogrady@kansan.com Kansan staff writer "It gives us a good chance as a team to see where we are at against some other teams in the conference," he said. The meet will give the teams the opportunity to compete against in-state and conference rival Kansas State. Coach Stanley Redwine said the meet would be good practice before conference competition starts, but he said he wasn't too worried about the results. we beat K-State, it doesn't matter until conference time or regionals or nationals," he said. "Whether K-State beats us or if Raggett, however, said the team still looked forward to racing the Wildcats. "You don't want to lose to anyone when you run, especially to them," he said. "It's always good to beat K-State." After sweeping the men's and women's team titles last week at The Bob Timmons Invitational, the 'Hawks will run Stateland Cross Country Course, a shorter, much flatter course than Rim Rock Farm. The men will race a 6.4-kilometer course instead of the normal distance of eight kilometers. The women will run a four kilometer race, two kilometers shorter than last week. "This meet, at least mentally, is a lot easier for me and other girls who aren't long distance runners," said Megan Manthe, Anoka, Minn., junior. Manthe is "I think its the same everywhere. Our goal is to go out and compete as team." Stanley Redwine Cross country coach a middle-distance runner during the track season. Coach Stanley Redwine said the distance didn't bother him. "I think its the same everywhere," he said. "Our goal is to go out and compete as a team." In addition to K-State, Kansas will run against Wichita State, University of Missouri-Kansas City and Fort Hays State. The women's race starts at 8:30 a.m., and the men will run at 9 a.m. Directions to Stateland Cross Country Course can be found at www.kuathletics.com.

The team finished 27-6, second in its conference, was ranked 18th in the country and made it to the finals of the South Eastern Conference Tournament. So why didn't the Razorbacks make the NCAA Tournament last year? "We didn't have a representative on the NCAA committee board," Poole said. "And the NCAA failed to recognize it." The "we" Poole referred to was the Southeast Region. The NCAA is made up of eight regions that represent different schools on the NCAA selection committee. Arkansas' NCAA representative retired last year, and the NCAA didn't replace her. Poole said the retirement was the only reason why his team didn't get invited to the tournament. "Someone told me it was the first time in any sport that a team who finished in the top 20 in the country, and top five in the conference, didn't make the post-season," he said. Poole said after losing three all-conference players from last year's team, this year's team would have to work harder. "We lost 75 percent of our offense," he said. "We're rebuilding a little bit." The Razorbacks, 7-3 this season. The still has Sara Kinaicad, senior middle blocker, who leads the team with 3.93 kills and 1.27 blocks per game. Despite viewing this season as a rebuildingyear. Poole looked forward to the Jayhawk Classic this weekend. "There will Kincaid Poole. "We're glad to have an opportunity to play." Arkansas will meet Kansas for the first time in its opening match at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Horesji Family Athletic Center. Poole said the Jayhawks would be a tough opponent. "They are very, very scrappy, he said. "I love their enthusiasm." Saturday, Arkansas will take on North Carolina at 11 a.m. and Creighton at 5 p.m. ARKANSAS: "There will be great competition," said —Edited by Jonathan Reed. Coach: Chris Poole, 10th year, (227-97). Key Player: Sara Kincaid, Senior middle blocker. 3.93 kills/game 1.27 blocks/game Current record: 4-3 Last year: 27-6 What to watch for: The Razorbacks have lost a lot of talent, but Poole has never had a losing record in 10 years. Tar Heels look for experience The North Carolina volleyball team finished last season with a 32-4 record and an invitation to the NCAA Tournament. This year's team has four new starters, and coach Joe Sagula knows it may take a while for his young team to develop. That's why he said the Hampton Inn/Jayhawk Classic this weekend would be a good learning tool for his team. "This weekend we will try to improve our play and get better," he said. "We need to prepare to be successful on the road." The Tar Heels, with a record of 3-2, are led by Molly Pyles, junior outside hitter, who is averaging 4.88 kills per game. The team won the UNC Volleyball Classic to start the season, but is coming off consecutive losses. Sagula said he realized the team may not be as welcome as in the past, but didn't expect there to be a problem. When the Tar Heels play Kansas on Saturday, it will mark the first time a team from Chapel Hill has traveled to Lawrence since the departure of basketball coach Roy Williams. NORTH CAROLINA: Coach: Joe Sagula, 14th year. (274-165) Key Player: Molly Pyles, Jr. outside hitter, 4.88 kills per game, 2.31 kills per game Current Record: 3-2 Last year: 32-4 What to watch for: The Tar Heels were picked to finish second in the ACC. They have lost two in a row, but Sagula has done nothing but win since he arrived in 1990. 13 "We have a lot of respect for Kansas," he said. 12 Courtesy UNC Sagula said he expected the crowd to have the same respect for the Tar Heels. The match-up between the 'Hawks and Tar Heels will be the teams' third ever, with the series tied 1-1. Sagula knows if his team wants to improve to 2-1 against KU, it will have to step up its play. He described the Jayhawks as explosive and playing well right now. If the Tar Heels win both of their matches, and the Jayhawks are successful in their two matches, North Carolina and Kansas could be playing for the tournament championship when the meet at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Senior University of North Carolina middle hitter Aletha Green is in action during a game. The Tar Heels are one of four teams competing in The Hampton Inn/Jayhawk Classic this weekend at the Horeksi Family Athletics Center. Creighton seeks improvement The Creighton University volleyball team has already won two-thirds as many games as it did last year. But don't tell that to first-year coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth. "We don't talk a whole lot about last year," she said. The Blue Jays (2-4), finished 3-23 last year, but Booth is looking for the team to rebound and has seen many positives in the players. The team is led by sophomore Wichita-native Leah Ratzlaff. Ratzlaff is first on the team with 4.23 kills per game. "They have been nothing but great to work with," she said. Booth said Ratzlaff and Liz Hagerman, Onaga sophomore, would have some fans in the crowd. The entire coaching staff for Creighton is in its first year, but Booth said the players have responded well. "They are working their tails off." she said. The team has shown some improvement with two wins in the Iowa State Invitational in August. Since the two wins, Creighton CREIGHTON: Coach: Kristen Bernthal Booth Key player: Lahz Rattazl So. outside hitter. 4.23 kills per game Current record: 2-4 Last year: 3- 23 What to watch for: Booth has the young team believing it can win, and the Wichita-native Ratzlaff returns to her home state for the tournament. has lost three in a row, but Booth said it will use this tournament to improve the team. booth said the Jayhawks would be a tough opponent. "KU is a very strong team," said Booth. "And Ray [Bechard] is a great coach." KU has beaten the Blue Jays both times the two have faced off. If the team can pull off a victory in the tournament, it will have already equaled last year's total. Booth said just the experience in the tournament would help. "We don't want a repeat of last year," she said. The Blue Jays will open up the 15 Courtesy Creighton Leah Ratzlaff, Creighton University sophomore, hit the ball in match play.

Check out the Real Estate section CLASSIKIDS I Sports Volleyball teams from Kansas, Creighton, North Carolina and Arkansas will play in the Jayhawk Classic starting tomorrow. PAGE 9A The University Daily Kansan 12A Thursday, September 11, 2003 Tournament competition to challenge men's team Ryan Colaiani correspondents@kansan.com Kansan correspondent The Jayhawks men's golf team will not have it easy in its first tournament of the season. The team is competing in The Ridges Intercollegiate in Jonesborough, Tenn. starting tomorrow. Kansas will face tough competition with 10 of the top 16 teams in the country participating, including defending national champion Clemson. With the abundance of strong teams, coach Ross Randall said finishing 10th or 12th in this tournament wouldn't be bad. "It's the beginning of the season and we are just trying to see what these players can do," he said, "I think the best way to do that is through tournament play." "Playing the course before should help because now I know where or where not to hit it," said Price, who finished in a tie for 37th in that tournament. The team is sending freshman Tyler Docking, sophomore Ryan Rainer, juniors Andrew Price and Kevin Ward and senior Tyler Hall. Hall and Price participated in this same tournament two years ago. The team finished 10th in the 15-team field. Randall decided who to send to Tennessee by conducting eight qualifying rounds, which were completed on Sunday. The top five players with the lowest scores were selected to attend this prestigious tournament. Price finished first, followed by Ward, Docking, Rainer and Hall. Docking took a redshirt last season, so this will be his first tournament as a Jayhawk. "It's great to qualify for my first tournament, especially since it was the first time I tried to qualify." Docking said. The Ridges is just over 7,000 yards and is a par 72. It is located in the mountains of Tennessee with rolling fairways and many elevated tee shots. "The course is not particularly long," Price said. "And the way it is set up suits our game well." The team plays a practice round tomorrow and 36 holes on Saturday. It finishes the tournament with 18 holes on Sunday. "Obviously it's a tough field," Docking said. "But hopefully we can step up to the competition and play well." 'Hawks win despite errors - Edited by Nikki Overfelt BY Mike Norris mnorris@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter 10 Freshman outside hitter, Jana Correa and Sophomore middle blocker, Josie Lima attempted to block Oral Roberts freshman middle blocker, Kimberly Snow's kill, Wednesday night at the women's volleyball home opener. The Jayhawks swept Oral Roberts, winning all three games. Megan True/Kansan In its home-opener, the Kansas volleyball team didn't disappoint. The team defeated Oral Roberts 3-0, beating the Tulsa, Okla., school for Kansas' fourth victory in a row. Freshman Jana Correa led the Jayhawks with 16 kills, and Josi Lima continued her solid play with 11 kills and a 688 hitting percentage. "We had a good hitting efficiency," said coach Ray Bechard. "We had a good comeback in game two, but other than that I didn't think we valued our opportunity as well as we could have." Bechard was referring to the 16 service errors by the team and a somewhat lagging effort at times. Despite some negatives, the 'Hawks pulled out the victory in front of 550 fans in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center, a crowd Correa said she never saw in her home country of Brazil. The Jayhawks led for most of the first game winning 30-22. In the second game the lagging play Bechard talked about showed. But the Jayhawks woke up late in the match. "I love it," she said. "I'm very excited to play here." Trailing 22-16, Kansas ended the game on a 15-7 run to pull off the 31-29 victory. "We're never going to give up on a game," said Jill Dorsey, junior defensive specialist. "We always think we are going to win." After the Jayhawks took a 15-11 lead in game three, Oral Roberts cut the lead to 26-25. The 'Hawks then scored the final four points in the 30-25 victory. "It's going to be tough to beat us here at home" said Lima. Correa could be the key reason why. Most of her 16 kills had the fans cheering, especially the final kill in game one that bounced off opponent Beacky Dreher's shoulder and face and landed on the other side of the net, out of bounds. SEE VOLLEYBALL ON PAGE 7A Women's administrator found By John Domoney jdomoney@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Athletics Department's search for a new senior women's administrator is over. F Athletics Director Lew Perkins announced Tuesday that he hired Kelly Landry from the University of Illinois. "We had about 30 or Landry 40 people apply," Perkins said. "Kelly came highly recommended from every place she's been." Landry is finishing up her duties as associate director of athletics and senior women's administrator at Illinois. Those duties include finishing up the men's basketball schedule and some odds and ends, she said. She will begin working in Lawrence in mid-October to replace Janelle Martin, who left the Athletics Department in early August. "It's a good opportunity to work with Lew Perkins," Landry said. "He has a great vision for where he wants the athletic department to be. But I'm leaving a great place, too." Landry brings an impressive list of accomplishments from her days in Champaign, Ill. Along with overseeing operations, she coordinated post-season travel for the Illini men's and women's basketball teams. In addition to her duties in the Illinois athletics department, Landry also served as co-chair of the Big 10 Conference Administrator's Council, and she currently serves as a member of the NCAA Championships Competition Cabinet and the Big Ten Legislative Review Committee. Landry has been at Illinois for five years and previously served four years as assistant athletic director for business and senior woman administrator at the University of Miami. In 1986, Landry earned her bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Alabama where she was an All-American in track and field. She was a member of the World University Games Team and the Pan American Team in 1987, and she finished fourth in the United States Olympic Trials in 1992. While working at Illinois, Landry earned her master's degree in higher education at the school in 2001. Landry said she thought her role as a former student athlete helped her in her job. "It is easy for me to relate to the demands of balancing athletics and academics," Landry said. "Being able to be a voice for them and an ear to listen is important to me." Another change in athletics administration came yesterday as Doug Vance, a 20-year veteran of the department, officially stepped down. Vance, who has been on leave for nearly a month, served as the associate athletics director of communications. Perkins said in a press release that he preferred that Vance stay, but he respected the decision and wished him well. "Lew offered me an opportunity to remain with the staff," Vance said in the release. "However, I decided to go a different direction. Now I can concentrate on being a fan and enjoy watching all the teams compete." Shane Mettlen contributed to this story. Edited by Katie Bean Linebackers set Big 12 conference apart THE HISTORY OF THE AUTOMATIC SAFETY SYSTEMS IN FORT WASHINGTON, U.S. Linebacker Gabe Toomey high-fived a fan after Saturday's victory over UNLV last Saturday. Saan SmithKansas The linebackers uphold the image of the Big 12 Conference. They combine size and strength with speed and agility. While the Big 10 Conference is a physical, pound it out sort of place to play and the Southeastern Conference is known for its speed, linebacker success in the Big 12 requires a player to be physical enough to stop the run game, yet fast enough to pursue sideline-to-sideline and cover receivers. No two players fit that stereotype better than Oklahoma's Teddy Lehman and Texas' Derrick Johnson. They are blessed with great speed and quickness, but have the ability to unleash a highlight hit at any turn. Both run the 40-yard dash in less than 4.5 seconds. Lehman tips the scales at 243 pounds but runs like a small tailback. Last season he was a finalist for the Butkus Award, given to the nation's top linebacker. Lehman and teammate Lance Mitchell are nominees this year. SPORTS COMMENTARY --- Kevin Flaherty kflaherty@kansan.com Johnson is a bit smaller than Lehman, but possibly more athletic. He and Reed Boyd help form a dynamic lineback duo for the Longhorns. Linebackers such as these, with both speed and size, give a defensive coordinator options when it comes to defensive schemes. Boyd said versatility gave one a great opportunity to get on the field and play. "I'm starting at the strong side position The Longhorns will look to take advantage of Boyd's versatility against rival Arkansas this weekend. and then depending on how things go, I might move around," he said. But those two teams are not the only Big 12 teams with star linebackers. Nebraska has made a push early this season thanks to a defense that looks for plays from linebackers such as Barrett Ruud and Demorrio Williams. And the three starting Kansas linebackers, sophomores Gabe Toomey, Nick Reid and Banks Floodman have something to look forward to as they play the next three years together. Kansas coach Mark Mangino refers to Toomey as a throwback. While the 235-pound Toomey loves to mix it up and hit people, it is his speed and acceleration to the ball that sets him apart. Teammates Floodman and Reid are also talented speedsters. Floodman is a team captain while Reid started six games last season as a freshman. Floodman said he enjoyed playing with Toomey and Reid. "It's really a pleasure to play defense with those guys," Floodman said. "It should be a lot of fun for the next couple of years." Meanwhile, Kansas State annually builds up one of the best defenses with strong linebacker play. This year's version includes play-makers Josh Buhl and Brian Hickman. Buhl is undersized for a linebacker, but makes plays with his speed. Kansas State also landed a topflight linebacker Marvin Simmons from the junior college ranks, but he has yet to make major impact. Iowa State has struggled offensively but is still undefeated in two games this season because of a defense headed by linebackers Brandon Brown and Joe Woodley. If the saying, "defense wins championships" holds true for taking a team to the Big 12 title game in Kansas City, Mo., then linebackers will be what takes the defense where it needs to be.

Start strong with a delicious breakfast. BY AMANDA WOLFE Photo illustration by Eric Bream/Kansas f快 shake Carnation Instant Breakfast, orange sherbet and milk make a great breakfast shake. A loud, gurgling noise comes from deep within you as people in your class notice. It's hard to concentrate on the lecture because your head feels fuzzy, like a headache is coming on. No, it's not almost dinner time, you skipped breakfast. You know you should've eaten breakfast as you flash back to the morning's events. Hitting the snooze button twice, you gave yourself an extra valuable 16 minutes of sleep. You're probably providing yourself some much needed rest, but you're cutting something else out of your morning schedule. Breakfast, considered by some to be unnecessary, is actually, at the risk of sounding like a high school health teacher, the best way to start your day. Just allowing yourself 10 extra minutes in the morning gives you enough time to wolf down a bowl of cereal topped with fresh slices of strawberry or a bagel smeared with low-fat cream cheese. Lynn Menke, registered dietician and weight management program coordinator for the Energy Balance Lab at The University of Kansas, says that every you don't feel like eating in the morning there are things you can do for you later on. "Wait a few hours after wake up and eat some yogurt or nola bar," Menke says. "It'll give energy." Breakfast is what you must and if you experiment and find thing you enjoy eating, you'll likely eat breakfast on a daily b Long gone are the days of Lucky Charms and Trix cereals - for some of us. If you're looking for a way to jump-start your day with creative breakfast ideas, look no further. Not Your Typical Cinnamon Toast A great way to jazz up cinnamon toast is to add your favorite fresh fruit like strawberries, bananas or kiwi as topping. To make it even more delicious try using different types of bread. An excellent alternative to your regular white bread, cinnamon raisin bread makes great toast. Also try whole grain wheat breads. They are not only tasty but have added health benefits. Toast a slice of your favorite bread, lube it up with margarine (or butter if you prefer) sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Top with your favorite sliced fruits. And if you're feeling adventurous, try a drizzle of honey on top. You can even substitute bread for a toasted waffle, if that's what you have on hand. Creamy or crunchy? To squeeze in a serving of protein, peanut butter makes a great breakfast addition. Don't be afraid to smear it on anything from bagels and toast to English muffins. Menke recommends natural peanut butter because it doesn't have any trans-fatty acids. It's especially tasty on toasted raisin bread; peanut butter will hold you over and keep your hunger pains at bay. So if you have a long morning of classes with no break for a 4 jayplay thursday, september 11, 2003 snack or lunch, try PB in the a.m. Egg White Omelet For a healthy and delicious breakfast make your omelets with egg whites. To personalize your omelet, Menke suggests adding your favorite vegetables. Here's your chance to get creative. You can add squash, zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers and a little cheese. Don Williams, line cook at First Watch, 2540 Iowa, loves to make creative breakfasts at home. "When I make omelets I'll fray the tip of a green onion with a knife and throw it in ice water," Williams says. "It makes a bush-like shape. I'll use black olives and the onion to create a palm tree shape on the omelet. Presentation means a lot." When it comes to omelets, anything goes. "I think people might not think about avocados in their omelets," Dennis Hill, caterer and chef at Sigma Kappa, 1325 West Campus Rd., says. Hill has a quick and tasty breakfast suggestion for students: breakfast burritos. Scramble an egg and put it in a tortilla. Add cheese, salsa and avocado. The secret ingredient? "Sausage makes it really flavorful," Hill adds. If you haven't acquainted yourself with Carnation Instant Breakfast nutritional energy drink, you're missing out. Not only Pumped Up OJ Smoothie do breakfast drinks taste really good, but they provide you with all sorts of vitamins and minerals to kick start your day. But beware: some store bought smoothies and drinks have very little nutritional value, so read the label to know what you're getting. Make your omelet your own with your favorite veggies. Photo illustration by Eric Braem/Kansan For an on-the-go breakfast, mix up a packet of instant breakfast with milk and take it to class with you in an insulated thermos to keep it cold. Or heat it up on a cold day and enjoy. If you're looking for an alternative to your traditional glass of orange juice try mixing one packet of Carnation's classic French vanilla with one cup of milk and one generous scoop of orange sherbet, as seen on a packet of the versatile mix. Blend until frothy and smooth. Hill also suggests buying bags of mixed berries in the freezer section of grocery stores. Throw some berries, a banana and yogurt in a blender and whir away. Once you find something you like, you'll want to eat breakfast everyday. So don't be afraid to experiment. Try new cereals you thought you might never eat or pick up different kinds of bagels next time you're at the grocery store. Or if you don't have any breakfast foods on hand eat leftovers. Menke says a slice of yesterday's cheese pizza really isn't that bad for you in the morning, as long as you like it cold. —Amanda Wolfe, Jayplay staff writer, can be reached at awolfe@kansan.com. $1.50 YOU CALL ITS GET THIS GIRL ANOTHER DRINK.

[relating Class act Besides pulling all-nighters and praying for a miraculous GPA, ever think about talking to your professor to help your grade? A chat with your prof might surprise you. BY LUKE DALEY There is one in every class. The teacher's pet who won't put their hand down. The one who won't let anyone else answer a question and the one that makes the professor expect the same enthusiasm from everyone else. The plebian-like students in the back of the classroom resort to slouching in their seats and scowling at the brown-noser, quiet and content to stay invisible to the teacher. The idea of the college professor is manifested differently by each student and everyone interacts with them differently. Some see the professor as an unapproachable, stuffy, boring authority figure. Others, although a considerably smaller number, visualize a scholarly individual, ready to aide them in their higher learning process. Whatever the conception, every student must decide how much they should interact with their professor, if at all. When it comes down to it, all anyone wants from a class is a good grade, and sometimes a little bit of fresh knowledge (mostly the good knowledge (mostly the good grade though). Attaining both of these aspects requires at least a minimum of communication with the instructor. But how do you make the grade and avoid becoming the class brown-noser? Elizabeth Schnieders says she has student to teacher interaction figured out and its all about effort and recognition. She says it is important to give professors a face to put with the name on their class roster, allowing you to become more of a person than just a alphebatized name in their gradebook. Schnieders, a Dallas senior, adds that if you can prove to them that you are interested and trying to do well, the teachers respond to it positively. For other students, having a chat with their professors seems more daunting, if not unnecessary. not unnecessary. Ally Lane, Dallas junior, says she sometimes tries to talk to her teachers, but prefers not to if the class is large. She says the annoying and always prevalent brown-noser sometimes does the talking for the whole class. Frank Farmer, associate professor of English, teaches a number of graduate teaching assistants how to teach freshman and sophomore composition classes. He says his assistants know the difference between students who try and those who suck up. "Most teachers see through that and it usually, not always, but it usually doesn't leave a favorable impression," Farmer says. He says that the students who are shy in class, but try to communicate with their teachers on a more one-on-one basis often turn out to be the students who do the best in class. "Nearly all teachers respond favorably to students who care about their work," Farmer says. Caring about the class also entails being prepared and thinking about how about now Kerri Henderson/Kansan 6 jayplay thursday, september 11. 2003 best to approach your instructors. Here are some tips for professor to student interaction: 1. Address them using their title. Whether they will admit it or not, professors love to hear their institutional title before their name. Think of it as a way to boost their egos and your GPA. 2. Don't be afraid to ask questions, just not stupid ones. Many questions can be avoided by just checking the class web site or reading the syllabus. If not, professors are usually happy to answer questions, especially during their office hours. (Hint: you visiting their office + good questions = happy instructor = good grade for you.) 3. Be present and on time for class. even if all of your pillowside excuses sound really really valid to you. They probably won't fly when you are trying to explain why you missed that pop quiz. 4. Your are not a beautiful and unique enough snowflake for professors to make special favors and exceptions for. Teachers hate having to break their routine or jeopardize fairness just so they can give you enough extra credit to make up for the quiz you slept through. 5. When you do screw up, take responsibility for it. Even if you don't get to make-up an assignment, it will go a long way in letting the professor know that you care about the class. -Luke Daley, Jayplay staff writer can be reached at ldaley@kansan.com Grouping it all together Consider your role with working with peers By Megan Hickerson mhickerson@kansan.com Jayplay staff writer Group work. Students either hate it or love it. We've all scooted our desks into a circle and stared blankly at the other members of our collegiate groups. It seems that all the social skills that we've perfected over the years go right out of the window as soon as we are asked to form a group. There are three distinct types of members: the initiators, the followers and the slugs. Every student can identify with at least one of these. Danielle Wood, Greely, Colo. senior considers herself to be the group initiator. "I'm the one who always does all the work," she says. "I like to have things done right and done my way." The followers and slugs often irritate the initiators. The followers are the students who reluctantly participate and do work if the initiator assigns it to them. They never go beyond the minimum and never offer to do anything of their own free will. Jordan Redding, Lawrence sophomore, may fall into the followers group. "I'm not the one who volunteers to be the group spokesman or the one who writes everything down" Redding says, "but I do participate and add to the group." The slugs are at the bottom of the list. They are the ones who avoid eye contact because they failed to read the assigned readings. They are the ones who make you wonder why they bothered to get out of bed and come to class. Slugs can cause tension and frustration in group work, but professors can help to ease the pain. Andrew Whitford, assistant professor of political science, allows his students to organize themselves for grading purposes. He allows students to pick from three types of groups: an autonomous group, where all members are allowed to make decisions, a democratic group, where members make decisions based on majority rule, and lastly, a group who elects a leader to represent them. Whitford says most groups favor the autonomous group. If your professors insist on giving the whole group the same grade, there are a few things, which you can do to ensure fair grading. Do all of your work. You don't end up a slug, and you won't have to pretend like you know what's going on. If you are shy and clam up in front of classmates, make a list of ideas and bring it to class so you have an agenda. Lastly, don't be afraid to inform your professor if there are any members who aren't putting forth the effort. Your grades shouldn't suffer because of someone else's sluggishness. Lee R.

Here is the hype and the reality behind the popular carbohydrate-cutting Atkins Diet. BY JULIE JONES While the food in the foreground may be encouraged in the Atkins Diet as with most diet plans moderation is still the key. However, in the Atkins Diet you are forbidden from eating any of the high carbohydrate foods in the background, even in moderation. Photo illustration by Aaron Showalter/Kansan Hamburger without the bun. Salad without croutons. Sound familiar? Ah, yes, the controversial Atkins Diet. Defenders swear by it. The opposition swears too, but without a positive connotation. Wondering whom to believe? It appears they're both right: the Atkins Diet contains benefits and risks. The diet consists of omitting most carbohydrates, sugars and starches, the staple foods of most college diets. But, there is no limit to how much fat you ingest or how many meals you eat a day. Sound too good to be true? Here's how it works. Physician Robert Atkins, the diet's inventor, theorized that because the body burns sugars for energy first, and all carbs are eventually broken down into simple sugars, fats are stored instead of destroyed. By cutting out carbohydrates, the body is forced to use fat for fuel and, in turn, burn off those unwanted pounds. Atkins advocates claim this stabilizes blood sugar levels and can decrease cholesterol levels. Adversaries worry that the emphasis on high-fat foods will increase the risks of coronary heart disease. They say that a high-protein diet can strain your kidneys, liver and even your bones. Other possible side effects include nausea, headaches, intense cravings, bad breath and fatigue. Opponents argue the diet is a short-term cure for weight loss. We talked to Peter Kimble, Lawrence nutritionist, to get to the bottom of this heated controversy. Kimble says animal studies have shown that consuming foods high in animal fat increases the risk of heart disease and cancer. However, these results have not been proven in humans. Kimble emphasizes the importance of watching what kinds of fat and proteins you choose while on the diet. "I think some tend to abuse it. They get on Atkins because they think they can continue eating bacon and McDonalds," Kimble says. "It's about the choice of what goes with it. If done properly, it can be beneficial to some people." He says the diet can definitely benefit those with diabetes and high cholesterol. "It reduces insulin response, something good for people with diabetes. It promotes weight loss and cholesterol comes down," Kimble says. "You have to take each person individually." A doctor or nutritionist can help you to create a diet that fits your own physiological needs. Melissa Nagy, Wichita senior, followed the diet for two and half months, losing between five and 10 pounds. "It was easy because if you follow the diet, the weight just kind of falls off," Nagy says. "But, I wasn't paying attention to the fat grams. I didn't like that because those are things you should be leery of." Nagy experienced no side effects from the diet and recommends cutting out carbs to lose weight, but says it should be a lifestyle change, not a quick fad. So, is the Atkins diet really as harmful as everyone says? The answer is no, that is if you follow these simple safety guidelines. "Diets are something you kind of have to curve around yourself," says Nagy. "I don't think filling it in with fats and cheeses is going to be much better for you." 8. jayplay thursday, september 11, 2003 Educate Yourself Never start a diet without researching it first. There are many books available about the Atkins Diet, so go and read one before deciding if it's for you. If in doubt, talk to your doctor, dietician or nutritionist for guidance. The important thing is to make sure the diet fits your needs and to realize this must be a lifestyle change or it won't work. Exercise Dieting isn't just about having a model figure; it's also about healthy living. As we all know, exercise plays a major role in the upkeep of your physical well-being. Just because you're skipping the carbs, don't skip your workout. Be Protein Conscious High-protein doesn't necessarily mean high-fat. Many mistakenly think that because bacon, steaks, burgers and sausage are allowed, they can gorge themselves with as much fat as they want, as long as the food is carb-free. Wrong! Stay away from meats and cheeses that are high in saturated fats and trans-fatty acids. Beware of Cravings Many experience intense cravings when beginning this diet. Atkins said this is because your body is ridding itself of excess carbs, and once your blood sugar levels stabilize, the cravings will subside. In the meantime, snack on healthy proteins, such as nuts or lean meats, and drink lots of water. Don't Get Bored Many quit the diet because of its monotony. If you feel yourself becoming bored with the allowed foods, visit your local natural health food store for Atkins carb-free and low-carb snacks or protein shakes. If you cheat and then return to the diet, you risk the reoccurrence of intense cravings you experienced in the beginning. Listen to Your Body Pay attention to your physiology. If you're feeling bad while on the diet, then stop. Don't be afraid to adjust the diet to suit your body. —Julie Jones can be reached at jjones@kansan.com They seem too good to be true because they are. Over-the-counter diet pills like Mega-T promise to help consumers "lose up to 20 pounds." Others, like Dexatrim Natural, say it will "help your body use fat and calories." Jagged little pills The question on everyones mind is 'are over-the-counter diet pills safe? And can they really do what they claim?' Lawrence Memorial Hospital dietician Nancy Donahey recommends consulting a medical professional before ingesting any type of diet pill. Many diet pills contain caffeine and ephedra. These ingredients work as appetite suppressants designed to accelerate your body's metabolism. Most appetite suppressants should only be used for a few weeks. Exceeding the recommended daily dosage or using the products for longer than the recommended time can result in increased heart rate and blood pressure. She says that water-loss or diuretic pills are only intended to relieve temporary bloating. They do not reduce body fat. Students hoping to lose weight and keep it off should develop exercise programs and healthy eating habits. If you decide to use over-the-counter diet pills, remember that the key to all pill advertisements is to help you lose weight not lose it for you. GO MACRO —Lauren Reidy Carole Boggs, macrobiotic excautioner, teaches a series of classes at The Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa St., that instruct people in the finer points of the macrobiotic diet. Proponents of the macrobiotic diet say it can clean glucose and other impurities from the gut and balance alkaline and acidic elements in the blood. Boggs says the macrobiotic diet is very natural and easy to follow if you're willing to give up the standard American diet. "The macrobiotic diet consists of whole grains, vegetables, fruit and fish," Boggs says. These foods can be found at The Community Mercantile or the natural food section of your local grocery store.

He brewed, aged and siphoned the flow of his brew from barrel to keg all inside the basement of his house. In search of the perfect beer, students take matters into their own hands. BY MAGGIE KOERTH The kitchen looks like any student ghetto cooking space. It has bare walls, ancient, oddly colored appliances and a stove, which looks like it's better suited to start electrical fires than prepare food. This particular kitchen transformed into an alchemy lab. A cauldron of carobscented brew bubbles on the stove and a glass jug big enough to hold a baby sits on the Formica countertop, a plastic tube coiling from its mouth and into a bucket on the floor. "Paul," a KU freshman, stands over the stove stirring the bubbling, brown brew. He isn't a mad scientist; he's a homebrew enthusiast. He stirs and explains how he's steeping the grains, the same way that you'd make tea. "Normally I don't do this," he says. "It's going to be real fruity and put everybody on the floor." "Paul," who asked his real name not be used, because he is underage, usually brews his beer at about a 9 percent alcohol content, he doesn't have to drink a ton to get drunk. He likes making something of higher quality than Natural Light. It's the quest for quality beer, which initially prompts home brewers to flee the liquor store in favor of their kitchens, garages, basements and backyards. "Paul's" set-up is typical of the beginning beginning brewer: a large pot for boiling, a large glass jug for fermenting and plastic tubing and buckets to siphon the fermented beer out of the jug. their ase- ls. cal Geoff Deman, a former KU student and brewer at Free State Brewery, 636 Massachusetts St., began this way. "I was interested in good beer and I had a friend who had home brewed before...I got started brewing and went whole hog," he says. Alberta Rager got involved in brewing out of an interest in good beer. Today, she owns Bacchus and Barleycorn, 6633 Nieman Road in Shawnee, Kan., with her husband. Her store sells supplies for brewers of beer, mead, wine and other drinks. beer d d nt ne In Bacchus and Barleycorn, there are rows of shelves stuffed full of different types of grain, hops, sugar, herbs, fruit extracts and syrups.

"Not a great beer." Deman agreed with this. In fact his first brewing experience was not with a starter kit, but with raw materials. Making beer from raw materials isn't more difficult than brewing from kits. It takes more supplies and more steps. The process involves steeping roasted grains in hot water to make what's called a wort, then adding fresh or pellet hops, malt powders and herbs, honey or other flavorings. Once everything's is boiled together, you run the liquid off into a jug or barrel to ferment with yeast for a couple of weeks. Joe Yoder, Brewmiester for the Lawrence Brewers Guild, prefers this method, because the brewer has more control over how the beer will taste. Using creative mixtures of different types of grains, hops, malts and flavors help to create a more unique product. The difference between the methods of brewing is equivalent to the difference between baking a cake from a box mix and baking one from scratch. Yoder recalls a creative stout beer the Homebrew Guild made, which they fermented in bourbon barrels from the McCormick Liquor Plant in Weston, Mo.

To "Paul," doing what he enjoys and being able to drink a better beer are worth the extra risk and cost. Like Geoff Deman and Alberta Reger, homebrew enthusiasts can turn their hobbies into full-time jobs. Other professional brewers like Free State Brewmaster Steve Bradt, went straight from curiosity to brewing for the masses. Despite their success, Bradt and Deman agree not all hobbyists can make a career out of beer. First of all, there's the intimidation factor. Loosing a batch of beer to contamination or bad flavor isn't much of a problem when its just five gallons, but the stakes are raised when you're talking about 50 to 100 barrels. The pressure to perform can create a psych-out effect no amount of Viagra can fix. In addition to this problem, many home brewers making the transition to professional brewer become frustrated when their favorite recipes and styles don't sell as well as they'd like. "As a home brewer, they sort of assume that everyone should like those styles," Bradt says. "But you have to have beers that are going to be approachable by people who haven't gotten into the microbrew world because they're enthusiasts. They may walk in with enthusiasts, but they're not sure. They've been brought up on the lighter, mass-marketed products and they aren't ready to jump into a really strongly flavored beer." Back in his alchemical kitchen, "Paul" is more concerned about having a good time than choosing a career path. Her worries whether and when his parents will find out about his hobby.

BY NEIL MULKA SPECIAL TO JAYPLAY PHOTOGRAPHS BY JOHN NOWAK BEHIND A SEA OF FASHIONABLE hipsters, giant skinheads and skinny rockers, Bob Cutler flips hot dogs on a grill in the beer garden of the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St. Throughout the evening, intoxicated customers shell out a few bucks for a greasywiener to absorb the Pabst Blue Ribbons or whiskey sloshing in their stomachs. Little do they know the hot dog money is for a noble cause: to open an all-ages club in Topeka where underage music fans can watch local music acts. "Opening an all-ages club is always a good idea," says Cutler, a Topeka resident. "Doing it in Topeka is stupid but people who are under 21 need a place to socialize in a safe environment." What started off as a bucket at the door has evolved into a $100-a-weekend venture to fund an endeavor that has not been successful in the past. "It was an opportunity that kind of fell in my lap," Cutler says. He has been hanging around the Replay Lounge since it opened. "I have been sitting at the door with a bucket begging for change and that was getting tiring." Cutler explains. Replay manager Matt Sullivan offered Cutler the hot dog position and a cut of the profits. Topeka has produced some well-known local acts like Danny Pound, the Billions and the Rayguns, but its all-ages music venues have had little staying power. thursday, September 11, 2003 When musician Danny Pound was growing up in jayplay 13 Topeka, he bypassed the local, all-ages venues and went to Lawrence or Manhattan for entertainment. "I remember a few aborted attempts at having an all-ages place," says Pound, Lawrence resident. Many short-lived, all-ages venues, such as the Generation Gap, Buddy's Place and the Hanger, remained open less than a year due to subpar entertainment, Cutler says. Stephanie Foster, Topeka senior, recalls going to the Hanger, a less than satisfying experience. "I went to one at Forbes Field and I laughed my ass off," Foster says. "It was just a bunch of 14-year-old bumping and grinding on each other." 14- year-olds bumping and grinding on the playing in rock shows is something that Cutler is no stranger to. He performed in the punk rock band Dead On Arrival and toured in the U.S. and Europe for seven years. He also helped run the Outhouse where "before-they-were-big" acts like Rancid played the same stage as local punkers like the Sex Offenders and Sister Mary Rotten Crotch. From his travels on the rock club circuit, Culter has seen many all-ages venues come and go. "When you go back to the same city and it's a year later and you see what venues are open and which ones are closed down, you get a picture for works and what doesn't," Cutler says. He adds that it is important for an all-ages venue to have a source of revenue other than door charges. His strategy is to open a diner that serves breakfast and lunch, and has shows in the evening. Groundworks Coffeehouse in Leavenworth took a different avenue for staying alive as an all-ages venue. It relied on an allvolunteer staff to keep the place running. Since its opening July 19, Groundworks has attracted big name acts such as Salt the Earth and the Primetime Heroes despite the coffee house's out-of-the-way location. "We attract bands pretty much by word of mouth," says Andrew Crawford, owner and production manager. "We attract a pretty good audience and bands tell other bands to play here." With Lawrence, Kansas City and Wichita sucking in all of the big name acts, an all-ages venue in Topeka will have to rely on the local talent pool. "I'm not going to try to compete with the Bottleneck or ABOVE: Cutler says he simmers his hot dogs in Pabst Blue Ribbon to give them a distinct flavor.

BOB CUTLER, HOT DOG VENDOR Kansas City venues," Cutler says. He plans to rely on more local and regional acts. "Obviously, all of the Lawrence and Kansas City bands would love to have a gig that's 30 minutes away," he says. "Drive down, play and be in bed in one night." POLICE LOOKING FOR UNDERAGE patrons with drugs and alcohol constitute a major hassle that plagues all-ages venues. Trying to keep out illegal substances without looking uncool is easier said than done." One thing we found at the Outhouse is that people, even young kids, when given the opportunity can be responsible for themselves," Cutler says Groundworks has strict rules on keeping outside containers from coming in. "We have a full, volunteer security team," Crawford says. "We have wristbands we put on people and we keep the bringing in of purses to a minimum. Cutler needs at least $50,000 to even begin working on opening this venue, which is a lot of hot dogs. He has tried doing benefit shows, most notably last year's Jello Biafra's spoken word. Some Replay customers who know of Cutler's cause, also support the idea. "I think it's a positive thing," says Matt Overstreet, Augusta graduate law student. "It'll give kids something to do other than sit around in convenience stores." "Benefit shows are good for raising awareness but not good for raising cash," Cutler says. "That's part of a catch-22; if I had a place to put on benefit shows, I wouldn't be selling hot dogs." Monica Wille, St. Louis senior, also enjoys Cutler's wiener stand. "I think it's a good idea," Wille says. "I would be sad if he wasn't there. It's definitely a unique thing at the Replay." —Neil Mulka, designer and Special to the Kansan writer, can be reached at nmulka@kansan.com.

Contributed ar Give standard parties true flair with a wild, wacky theme. BY KIM ELSHAM Contributed art The weekend starts tomorrow. Do you know what you're doing? You may say you're going to a party. Probably just another night of going to someone's house for the inevitable surroundings of loud music and circles of small talk with people you don't really know. Have we an idea for you. Lawrence is a fun college town, but that doesn't mean you have to stick to the normal nightlife activities of drinking, watching movies or eating. These can all be rolled into one fun-filled evening with your friends in the form of a theme party. At first it sounds a little like the Mad Hatter Tea Party your mother threw for your kindergarten birthday party, but theme parties are much more than Chuck E. Cheese's or Showbiz Pizza. It's a great way to break up the mediocre routine of you calling friends and friends calling you asking, "What's going on tonight?" You can be the head honcho of nighttime activities by organizing one. First, you must decide on a theme or concept. A common misconception is that theme parties require gaudy attire and party favors. Not necessarily true, but it is fun to dress like a rabbit and bring home a big bag of baby carrots, isn't it? But as the host or organizer of the event, you can make it extravagant as you want. Try to recreate entire scenes from the musical "A Chorus Line" or just keep it simple with a night of cards. Meredith Vacek, Olathe senior, helped organize the kickin' neo-Marxist dance parties of last semester, titled Dance! Dance! Revolution. Held at the Pool Room, 925 Iowa St., guests were required to dress in red and black for a cheaper entry fee. A must-dance section of the floor with guards standing to force those in the area to dance, Vacek, and fellow dream weavers Mark Hurst, Philadelphia sophomore, and Justin Riley, Fayetteville, Ark. junior, know that the idea of a theme party can be difficult for people to swallow. "Making it non-lame is the hardest part," says Vacek. "When people get there, are they going to be confronted with a bunch of lameness, or are they going to have the best time of their lives?" You don't need to stress about envisioning the party-of-the-century, but make sure it's an idea that ensures your friends' comfort and amusement. "It doesn't exactly make it formal, and they're not exactly casual either," says Hurst. "It's a nice, lovely medium between the two." Michelle Nikoomanesh, Overland Park senior, attended a rags-to-riches party for a graduating friend departing for New York. Guests arrived at a duplex with one side furnished as "rich" with wine, cheese, jazz music and guests in fine attire. The "rags" side had an average selection of average beer, and lots of junk food. Guests were able to dress to fit either side or dress with what they were comfortable with. Next is choosing a venue. Sure, you can have a rockin' party in the residence halls, but how exactly would the resident assistants feel about 50 students crammed into a 10-foot by 17-foot dorm room? The same goes if you live in an apartment or house. Make sure you know the city ordinances about noise level and maximum occupancy in your area. Monica Wille, St. Louis senior, is organizing a pudding party. Guests will be able to partake in wrestling matches in a kiddie pool filled with pudding. She has decided to have it at her house, but is aware of the inevitable mess. "We're going to have it in the backyard, and wallpaper the entire house, except for the bathroom," Wille says. And, if your budget allows it, you are most certainly allowed to rent out a place like Liberty Hall, 645 Massachusetts St., or the Pool Room, as did Vacek, Hurst and Riley. Once you know the size and 16 jayplay thursday, september 11. 2003 accommodations of your venue,you can organize the good stuff: your guest list and the atmosphere. It's probably best to figure out the decoration details before spreading the word to all your friends. Advance planning is key."For something big, you need at least two months," says Vacek. Also consider splitting up the work with some trusted friends. Hurst had the original concept for Dance! Dance! Revolution but says it wouldn't have been as successful without his help from Riley and Vacek. "By working with Justin and Meredith, we came up with something I never could have imagined by myself. It turned out amazing and wonderful," he says. The group plans to host another dance party this semester. For A-plus atmosphere, consider the attire for your guests, the decoration of your venue, the music, if needed, and the must-haves: food and drink. For her massive pudding requirements, Wille plans to purchase the pudding in bulk from Sam's Club in Overland Park, 8300 W.135th St. Be sure you have plenty to cover the projected attendance - you want your guests to be happy, right? Lawrence has plenty of retailers to suit your party-planning needs. Paper Warehouse, 1441 W.23rd St., Fun and Games, 816 Massachusetts St., and the trustworthy, wallet-friendly discount stores such as Target, 3201 Iowa St., and WalMart, 3300 Iowa St, all should suit your needs. If planning the party-to-end-allparties empties your pockets, consider charging a reasonable cover. People will be willing to help you out for your hard work and allowing them to have a great evening. And finally, spread the word. Decide if you would rather have a select list of invites, or if everyone and their dog is welcome. Fliers are a best bet, but beware that anyone can get their hands on them. And there's always word of mouth or chalking it on the sidewalks of Jayhawk Boulevard. Just remember that theme parties are meant to shake up the normally mundane party scene. Just keep it safe, legal, and most of all, fun. -Kim Elsham, Jayplay staff writer can be reached at kelsham@kansan.com theme: GREEN This idea has nothing to do with R al p h Nader or marijuana. Did you ever think a monotone world could be colorful? Throwing a party centered on just one color takes creativity and a strict dress code. Think of all the colorful ways you could deal with the color green. You must be strict if you want to throw a color-themed party.It's easy being green: Invites: Stick to green paper and make sure your invitees know you have a dress code. Encourage guests to bring any green accessory or music. Dress code: This is the most important part of a color party. You have to enforce it. Footwear might be tough, so be lenient. Decorations: You'll need to buy a few green light bulbs unless you happen to have a bunch of green sheets to drape over everything. Slide the color bar on your TV all the way over to the green end of the spectrum and leave the sound off. Be creative with the music; you have options such as Al Green, Pat Green, Green Day and Weezer's green album, Green. Spray your apartment with glade evergreen scent. If you want to have jade-colored activities, you might struggle, but don't rule out green Jell-O wrestling or Green Hornet videos. THE GUY FUNK OF THE UNION Food and drink: Options include chips and guacamole, olives, mint ice cream and all green Skittle's. For drinks, think about lime margaritas, green Jell-O shots, nonalcoholic punch and shamrock shakes. Don't forget to pick up some extra limes and food coloring just in case. Search "green" at www.allmusic.com for emerald-flavored melodies. —Eric Braem theme: MURDER MYSTERY Sultry dames, conniving detectives, and a shady butler. These ideas probably bring to mind the old Hasbro favorite "Clue". Be your own version of Tim Curry adapting everyone's favorite murder-inspired board game by throwing a murder-mystery party- a simple excuse for a bit of role-play. Invites: Perhaps some aged-look- Invites: Perhaps some aged-looking paper with bloodstains could set the mood. Or for a classier feel, stick to art deco-inspired type on fancy card stock. Dress code: Each guest is assigned their own role, with personality profile and short biography to photo illus be able to interpret the character as they wish. Just make sure they are in character before letting them in. Decorations: Depending on the plot of your murder-mystery, you can decorate it according to the theme and era. Be sure that the dining area is properly equipped for a complete meal and space for dialog. Supplies: Love the idea of murder-mystery but not creative enough to build your own plot? Many pre-fab murder-mystery dinner party packages are ready for purchase in retail, entertainment stores, such as Fun and Games, 816 Massachusetts St. They are also available to download online, from www.mysterygames.co.uk and www.murdermysteryparty.com.

Kim Elsham thursday, september 11, 2003 theme: GRAFFITI Have you ever thrown a party and noticed that at the beginning, it's sort of like middle school with the boys on one side and the girls on the other? photo illustrations by Eric Braem/Kansan Well try a graffiti party. It's great for outgoing people and a good icebreaker for the shy type. For this theme, you will want all of your guests to wear a white T-shirt - probably one they won't mind ruining. The object of the theme is to have your shirt be your wall and for everyone at the party to graffiti your shirt. Sign whatever you want from your name to a message. But watch out, the graffiti can get crazy as the night goes on. What you need: Start off with a white T-shirt. This can be a plain undershirt. White is the easiest so you can see the graffiti but go for a solid color if you want to be bold. You'll also need a marker or, for the creative type, a set of markers. I recommend permanent sharpies so they won't wash off with your next party foul. Plus, they come in black or an assortment of colors. Where to get it: You can find both these items at either Wal-Mart or Super Target and make it a one-stop deal. Cost: The T-shirts cost about $5 for a pack of three. The markers run less than a dollar for a single black one, $2 for a pack of three including red, black and blue and $5 for six-pack of multiple colors. What to do: That's it! Just have your markers ready and be prepared to get creative and sign away. —Ashley Arnold Jamie jayplay 17 fashion] Turn to the left Local artists and designers showcase their portable medium. BY ASHLEY ARNOLD AND MEGAN HICKERSON PHOTOGRAPHS BY ERIC BRAEM As the models for the Daydream fashion show awoke, they donned halter-tops and skirts — far from the typical sleepwear that KU students prefer, but much more fashionable. Last Friday, a crowded house cheered on local designers as they showcased their wearable art in a theatrical production at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St. The clothing ranged from professional and beachwear to wedding and cocktail wear. Co-producers Ashlee Hall and Sarah Stiefel had been planning for this event since May. They wanted to make the performance more than just a typical runway fashion show. "This is way beyond the catwalk." Hall says. "These are not the kids of clothes that you would see in a department store. This is wearable art." ment store. This is where the local designers will display and sell their wearable art on Saturday, at the Grimshaw Gallery, 731 New Hampshire St., opening from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Molly Murphy, designer with Heather O'Brien for the "Workday" segment, was more excited for the performance, rather than the opportunity to profit from her designs. The show was divided into nine segments, with each segment representing a time of day — morning, workout, workday, beach, wedding, cocktail hour, nightlife, lingerie, and dream. "Most designers were really more into the performance and the idea to create for the show as opposed to making sellable things," Murphy says. "There's definitely some pieces out of each collection that could be sold." During the "Workout" segment, DJ Bill Pile's carefully chosen exercise music helped the audience visualize this scene. The models appeared one-by-one, each modeled appropriately for activities such as yoga and tennis. With lots of electric green and hot pink, these frilly pieces would certainly turn a few heads if they were seen in the Robinson Gymnasium.

"I get about eight Victoria Secret catalogues a week, so I've been looking at these skimpy bikini's all summer," Hosking says. Hosking is no stranger to the Lawrence fashion scene. She participated in the fashion show last year and she also sells rubber bags to Hobbs, Inc., 700 Massachusetts St. Hazel Morley, Free State High School senior, attended the show because she hopes to apply to the Fashion Institute of Technology or the Parsons School of Design, both in New York. In a sea of predominately women with a surprising number of men, most attendants came to check out the fashions for fun or personal interest. "I make all of my own clothes. I made the shirt I have on and I made this purse. I have even made all of my formal dresses since 10th grade," Morley says. Last year, at the former Raoul's Velvet Room, 815 New Hampshire St., 250 people were turned away because of fire codes. This year at Liberty Hall, Murphy says it allowed for more audience interaction and participation. participation. "There were more people collectively than last time.

Contributed art Former child stars David Spade,Dustin Diamond, Corey Feldman, Donny Bonaduce, Barry Williams and Lief Garrett star in Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star. DICKIE ROBERTS: FORMER CHILD STAR PG-13, 99 minutes. South Wind 12 David Spade delivers his usual smart-ass antics in his comedy Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star. While these antics are nothing new, it's funny for the audience to witness Spade insult large women, small children and a coterie of washed-up actors. The movie tells the story of Dickie Roberts, a sitcom star from the 1970s, who can't get a job now to save his life. More than anything in the world, Dickie wants to be big again, so he decides to reboot his maturity system, by reliving his childhood. Dickie hires the Tracy family hoping they will help him get a part in Rob Reiner's new movie. The Tracy family members, dad, George (Craig Bierko, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas), mom, Grace (Mary McCormack, Private Parts) and kids, Sam (Scott Terra, Daredevil) and Sally (Jenna Boyd) provide excellent straight men for Spade's antics. The Tracy's even has a few comedic moments of their own. Unfortunately, the movie takes a sappy turn, and none of the actors, including Spade, have the chops to deliver the dramatic goods. Much of the sappy story plays more like a poorly written soap-opera than a comedy written by David Spade and Fred Wolf (Dirty Work). Director Sam Weisman (What's the Worse the Could Happen?) does a solid job of leading the cast through this piece. He never takes away from the actors with flashy camera work and lets Spade deliver most of the film's jokes. The movie gets a little lost in showcasing former child stars like Emanuelle Lewis, Dustin Diamond and Leif Garret. It seems more concerned with showing that these stars still exist rather than forwarding the plot. Each scene containing a former child star seems to drag on as the stars prove why they are washed up. Most of them could not act in the first place. The stars get their moment to shine in the final credit sequence. Former child stars fill a recording studio to record a song reminiscent of We Are the World, asking the public to allow the former stars to have their privacy. The song, featuring cast members from The Brady Bunch, Happy Days and What's Happenin', is pretty funny, especially when Maureen McCormick (Marcia, The Brady Bunch) drops the f-bomb. The stars and sappiness aside, this movie is worth the ticket price just to see Spade riff on so many prime comedic targets. Fans of his Saturday Night Live days should not miss this one. —Cal Creek Grade:B BRUCE ALMIGHTY PG-13. 94 minutes. SUA Imagine what you would do if you were bestowed with the Almighty's powers for a limited time. That is the flimsy premise of Tom Shadyac's Bruce Almighty, which only works because Jim Carrey is the man with the power. As Bruce Nolan, Carrey is a fed-up Buffalo reporter who is in the midst of trying to win the coveted anchor spot at his local station. When his dreams are shattered, he curses God (Morgan Freeman) who then gives Nolan powers to see if he can do any better. Carrey returns to his prized comedic form with ease, and Jennifer Aniston holds her own as Nolan's lovable girlfriend, Grace. The surprisingly touching ending overshadows the films funny moments when Bruce has to risk everything to win back Grace's love. In the end, perhaps due to heavenly intervention, Bruce Almighty is a fine addition to Carrey's comedic resume with a lot more heart and soul than expected. —Lindsey Ramsey Grade: B CABIN FEVER R. 94 minutes. South Wind 12 Horror fans have won a seasonal sweepstakes this fall as Cabin Fever, the next in a long lineup of scary movies, hits the screen. Four college grads road-trip to the Carolina Mountains to stay at a secluded cabin. Then something slowly starts to grow inside one of the girls, digging beneath her flesh, making bubbles on her forearms. The others freak, lock her in a shed, and turn on each other as paranoia drives them over the edge. If early buzz is to be trusted on this one, Cabin Fever may turn out to be the scariest movie in years. Stephen Shupe Not Reviewed MATCHSTICK MEN PG-13, 116 minutes, South Wind 12 Roy, an obsessive-compulsive con artist, (Nicholas Cage), learns he has a daughter (Alison Lohman) that is more than willing to join in the fun in Matchstick Men. Roy is trying to pull off a high-risk scam, and with the arrival of his daughter, his ticks and nerves could not get worse. The early buzz for this film is good, and Nicholas Cage, fresh off his Oscar nomination for Adaptation couldn't look better in the trailer. Gladiator's Ridley Scott, directs the film, is certainly capable of making a film that is high energy and fun to watch. All this, with scene-stealers Alison Lohman and Sam Rockwell, should make for a slick and fun crime/father-daughter heist. Lindsey Ramsey Not Reviewed ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO R. 101 minutes, South Wind 12 Director Robert Rodriguez (Desperado) brings his guitar slinging anti-hero El Mariachi to the screen for the third time in Once Upon a Time in Mexico. In this installment, CIA agent Sands (Johnny Depp) drags the hiding El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) into the action to kill drug lord Barillo (Willem Dafoe) who is trying to overthrow the Mexican president. The movie promises non-stop action, with a bit of intrigue, betrayal and vengeance. The film also features Salma Hayek, Enrique Igelsias and Cheech Marin. Fans of Rodriguez's previous El Mariachi films, El Martachi and Desperado, will not want to miss this one. —Cal Creek Not Reviewed THE ORDER R. 102 minutes, South Wind 12 Oh, the horror of a filmmaker who fails as miserably as Brian Helgeland does in The Order, a morose piece of hackwork that's a movie anomaly: a fright film with no pulse. Heath Ledger stars as a rogue priest searching for The Sin Eater, a mystery man with the power to take away sins. For his miracle work, The Sin Eater places a crust of bread on someone's chest and then eats their sins, which look like translucent jellyfish that float into his body. And that is about as creative as this movie gets. Helgeland promises demons and revelations that never arrive. We're left with mere mortals, who warble monosyllabic line readings and look as if they have not slept in about a decade. It is all painfully solemn; Helgeland can not even direct a sex scene without pumping it full of apocalyptic doom. The Order is a vision of hell as eternal slumber. —Stephen Shupe Grade: D- thursday, september 11, 2003 jayplay 62 MOVIERATINGS

MEDITATION GROUP HIT BY 'GAUTAMA 7' VIRUS A transcendental virus has befallen the KU Bofhissatvas, a club that dedicates itself to the achievement of spiritual betterment through meditation. Jonathan Redhall, Denver sophomore was among the first to be afflicted. "I was moving between transpersonal bands when up popped Mara, the embodiment of ignorant being, saying 'Access denied' in a really chirpy voice," he said. Olathe junior Zack DeJohnetta was in the fourth Dhyana level of Bliss when "a vast, negative wind" engulfed him. "It completely ruined the equanimity I had been working on all day, and now my Chi is busted," DeJohnette said. "I'm probably going to have to get a new one." When asked who might have started the malevolent vibe, Prairie Village junior and meditation session host Donnie Titterington related the rumor that a disgruntled Zen monk in California created the ugliness. 'KANSAN' STAFF TO KEEP PUBLISHING DESPITE NEWS DROUGHT Despite the lack of a recent newsworthy event locally, nationally or internationally,the students of the William Allen White School of Journalism have decided to continue publishing The University Daily Kansan. Writers and editors insist that plugging on is the right thing to do, ignoring reader grumblings that certain features are "so boring they hurt the soul." "We're just now getting over the lice infestation that spread on the meditation pillows this spring, and now this," Titterington, said, scratching his posterior while he mused about the group's future. "But hey, all life is impermanent, so what can you do?" Kendra Jackson, The Kansan's Readers Representative, promises better times ahead. —Sem Hopkins "OK, so our features right now are about sword shops and mold," Jackson said. "So we covered the fact that it rained and then followed that up with an article on the mold that the rain caused. Once Gdub throws out a spoonerism with a swear word or the Chancellor is caught in a nonmatching bra and panty combo, we'll run the Jayplay condom and lube rating feature and we're back in the hunt." Architecture students' grumbling results in banishment from Eaton A Dedication sign for Eaton Hall, Schmeeton Hall stands above the site where architecture students plan to erect the balsa wood answer to Eaton's utilitarian ugliness. Critics, however, say the paper should cease unnecessary paper waste by printing only the crossword puzzles and Free-For-All until real news comes around. ku LAST NEW ENCINERING BUILDING Matt Davis Kansan File Photo To contact the Tongue in Beak e-mail us at beak@kansan.com By Mark Pacey beak@kansan.com Kansan satire writer The dean of engineering issued a proclamation Monday morning banning all architecture students from the newly constructed Eaton Hall engineering building. When asked why architecture students were no longer welcome in the new facilities, Dean Bell said he was tired of all their grumbling and negative attitude. "This is a brand new 15 million dollar state of the art facility," Bell said. "I don't care if they would have designed it differently, they don't even have class in it." Since the facility opened, many architecture students have been caught roaming the Eaton halls commenting on the design. Electrical Engineering and Computer Science students, the main occupants of the new addition, are tired of the nuisance created by these unwelcome guests. "It's really hard to concentrate with them yelling to one another across the hallways about the neo-industrial design stifling their creativity," said Jonah Gould, Ogden Junior and EECS student. In protest of the proclamation and design of Eaton Hall, the architecture students have banded together to build their own addition to Learned. The plans for "Eaton Hall, Schmeeton Hall" call for everything from towers with gargoyles to a flying saucer landing pad. It will be made entirely of balsa wood, the building material of choice for all architecture students, and will measure approximately two feet high. The group's leader, who asked only to be known as "Jingles," commented, "This is by far the biggest thing any of us has ever made, it's going to be a challenge." When informed of the plan Dean Bell chuckled and said that he wished "Jingles" luck. Corporate art mistaken for mechanical bull By Emile Gorgonzola beak@kansan.com Kansan satire writer A University of Kansas student mistook a "Jayhawk on Parade" for a mechanical bull late Friday night after drinking with friends on Massachusetts Street. manning with friends on Massachusetts Toby Silver, Junction City junior and transfer student from Kansas State University, violently rocked the "Marvelous Mosaic Floral Jayhawk" back and forth while yipping at passersby and twirling an imaginary lasso. Silver's rodeo antics came only five days after a man dressed as Aquaman was found slumped in the arms of the "Merhawk" just outside the Jayhawk bookstore. Lawrence Police attribute the recent events to a preseparation anxiety to the soon-to-be-auctioned figurines. "Toby was in a bad mood all night," Lovitch said. "He had his head in his hands and kept saying things like, 'I miss my horse' and 'Why wasn't I in the fashion show?' But once he saw the bird he got this big smile Jenny Lovitich, Wichita senior, said she had been drinking with Silver and other friends at Coyotes before they headed downtown.

Her Ecuadorian accent didn't fade, and she didn't change out of her traditional Ecuadorian garb. That's just the way she wanted it. Kinti-Moss said she was seeking her U.S. citizenship because her husband and child lived here, not because she wanted to jump into America's melting pot. She was one of 141 people from 56 countries who earned their citizenship at 2 p.m. yesterday at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. The ceremony was the first of its kind hosted by the University of Kansas. Richard Norton Smith, the Dole Institute's director, said hosting the naturalization ceremony was an idea he had three weeks ago. "We knew we didn't want to have a bunch of speeches," Smith said. "We knew we didn't want to have just a bunch of politicians." He said because the Dole Institute was home to two 10-foot steel columns retrieved from the World Trade Center and displayed under a 29-foot stained glass American flag, it would be a natural backdrop for the ceremony. "It's a ceremony of hope, of beginnings." Smith said. She stayed in Madison to teach at the university and married Anthony Moss in 1985. SAM GOLDSMITH Kinti-Moss' long road toward this "new beginning" began in 1979 when she moved to Madison, Wis., to study at the University of Wisconsin. "Even then I didn't consider becoming a citizen." Kinti-Moss said. Kinti-Moss had a baby in 1989 and the family moved to Lawrence in 1995. She's been teaching Latin American studies at the University ever since. During the 24 years before she became a citizen, Kinti-Moss never made her citizenship official because it wasn't necessary. She was married and working in the United States, so there was no question that she could stay. She decided to take that step because she felt stronger ties to America than to Ecuador. Although her parents and sisters are still living in the South American country, she said she recognized that her life was in the United States. Kinti-Moss said the moment she became a U.S. citizen was special, but sad. "It was clouded," she said. Aaron Showalter/Kansan Scott Watson played the tuba outside the Robert J.

Students requested the project 18 months ago, and now it is $500,000 away from being done. Dale Seuferling, Endowment Association president, has been contacting potential donors for six months. The donor he found is pledging $1 million and Student Senate raised student fees to pay another million last year. However, the project estimate is $2.5 million.

Abby Mills kansas State Floods in Hays damages homes, area businesses HAYS — Heavy rainfall in north-central Kansas caused flooding that damaged some homes and businesses and left many roads closed for several hours. In Mitchell County, flash flooding along the Solomon River forced the evacuation of four people from one small community, cut off access to another and threatened to close a highway bridge. A section of Kansas 14 south of Beloit was closed Wednesday night after a storm dumped more than 10 inches of rain on the area in eight hours, said Joy Moser, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Division of Emergency Management. Though the highway was open Thursday, state officials worried one of its bridges was too badly damaged to remain open. Moser said four residents of Asherville, southeast of Beloit, were evacuated when the walls of a home collapsed. Also, flood waters closed roads to the community of Simpson, also southeast of Beloit, she said. A truck driver had to be rescued Wednesday night when a Beloit-area bridge collapsed beneath his tractor trailer, Moser said. Governor not too eager to sell former home in neighborhood TOPEKA—The sign outside the Victorian home says, "For sale by owner," but that owner—the first family of Kansas—isn't trying hard to make a deal. When Gov, Kathleen Sebelius moved in January into Cedar Crest, the governor's official residence, she'd already contemplated what would happen to the home she and husband Gary, a U.S. magistrate who now prefers the title "First Dude," had occupied for more than two decades. They decided to sell, but they're not being aggressive about it—hence their lack of a real estate agent. "We're sort of the casual house sellers,"the governor said yesterday. Gary's not very enthusiastic about showing it very often." For Topeka residents, the Sebelius family's reluctance is understandable. Though Cedar Crest sits on a hill overlooking the Kansas River, their former home is in the Potwin section, a stately neighborhood of brick streets and restored homes with wrap-around porches.

He highlighted the need for achieving excellence through planning. Chancellor: Lack of funds reason for low salaries By Robert Perkins rperkins@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Faculty members said morale at the University of Kansas had been low since the nation's economic downtown, but the University administration has a plan to fix it. Low pay for teachers has been a chief cause for the low morale, Lloyd Sponholtz said at the annual Faculty-Staff Convocation yesterday. Salaries at the University are in the bottom 10 percent among public research institutions. "The past two years have seen a deterioration of faculty and staff morale," he said. "It's time to acknowledge that publicly." Sponholtz, an associate professor of history and president of the faculty council, called for action from the administration. David Shulenburger, provost and executive vice chancellor, acknowledged the problem but focused on the positives. which the Legislature pledged to make the teachers' salaries on par with other universities. He said that help would come from Kansas Senate Bill 345, in "it's not just a promise," he said. "it's a law." It's a law. Chancellor Robert Hemenway blamed the low salaries on the state's lack of funding. He said that while donors, students and staff were bringing in more money every year, the state continued to cut the budget. cut the budget. "To me, that's a relationship that seems to be breaking down," he said. he said. Rather than sit back and hope for the Legislature to volunteer the money, Hemenway proposed that the University should go out and prove to Kansas that the state needed to fund a strong flagship university.

He said that advertising this, as opposed to complaining about low salaries, would convince Kansas to give them more money.

Students and faculty have had to make new plans for lunch ever since Union Food Services closed the snack bar in the performing arts building this semester. Union Food Services decided to shut down the snack bar after three years of declining sales. With no profits, the University of Kansas could no longer afford to keep it open, said Jay Glantz, director of Food Services. The closing has upset students and faculty who frequent Murphy Hall, located north of Allen Fieldhouse. A group of Murphy Hall regulars have started a petition to reopen the snack bar. So far it has 191 signatures. Glantz said he had also received e-mails and phone calls about the closing. cans about Emily Stewart, Kansas City, Mo., junior, safd she didn't understand how the snack bar was not making money.

Even more so than students, faculty and staff spend all day and many evenings in Murphy, making the closing of the snack bar a major inconvenience, said Jeanne Klein, associate professor of theater and film. For now, Klein and others in Murphy are packing their lunches or not eating at all. But they haven't bagged the idea of getting their snack bar back. getting them shut While he did not make any promises, Glantz said that reopening the snack bar next year was a possibility. For example, if the KU Cuisine program took off, Union Services would consider returning to Murphy, Glantz said. KU Cuisine is a University meal plan that allows students to eat at 12 locations throughout campus using their KUID card. The snack bars in JRP Hall and the Art and Design Building — similar to the one that closed in Murphy Hall— are part of the plan. Edited by Ashley Marriott Contest seeks high donor turnout The Community Blood Center will host its fifth annual "Battle For Blood" this weekend, a competition to raise donor awareness. The event pits the Lawrence Police Department, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical, and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office against each other in a contest to see which can bring in the most blood donors in a week. The Community Blood Center recently went into a state of "emergency appeal," meaning it has less than one day's supply of both positive and negative type-O blood, the type that can be given to anyone. anyone “Part of the problem is that all of the area blood banks are low.” said Cindy Schmiedeler, spokeswoman for the Community Blood Center. Schmiedeler speculated that one reason for the low amount of blood donors was students being distracted by back-to-school activities. Those wishing to donate blood can go to the Community Blood Center at 15th and Kasold streets tomorrow between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Donors can sign up for the department they want their donation to count for. Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical seeks to win for the third time in a row this year. For more information about the blood drive, contact the Community Blood Center at 843-5383.

Is there a time limit before we can start asking for refunds on the student fees that paid for the place? perspective There is a problem affecting blood donations, and it has to do with AIDS. Groups with high AIDS risk should not donate Arrah Nielsen opinion@kansan.com The problem: AIDS has been so heavily politicized that treating it as a disease and applying rational public health measures to curb the epidemic is impossible. Stephen Joseph, the commissioner of public health in New York City and author of Dragon Within the Gates, writes, "AIDS is the first major public health issue in this century for which political values rather than health requirements set the agenda." A good example of this was the attempted passage of a Student Senate bill to cease funding for promotion of the Red Cross blood drive. COMMENTARY This is not just an abstract issue. It has real implications for real people. Elizabeth Glaser, the founder of the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, contracted HIV from a blood transfusion she received during childbirth. Her daughter Ariel and son Jake contracted HIV from their mother's breast milk. All three have since died. According to The Gravest Show on Earth: America in the Age of AIDS, by Elinor Burkett, "Blood donations from gay men were primarily responsible for the bad blood that made its way into U.S. blood banks." Objections are raised every year because the Red Cross will not accept blood donations from men who have had sex with other men. Patrick Ross, director of KU Queers and Allies, likened the Red Cross decision to the sort of discrimination African Americans faced under Jim Crow laws. Gaymen comprise 42 percent of new AIDS cases although they make up less than 5 percent of the population, according to www.cdc.gov. Is it really unfair discrimination to bar a high-risk segment of the population from donating blood because it might taint the blood supply with HIV? HIV-positive homosexuals did not do this intentionally, and there were also heterosexuals infecting the blood supply. But most heterosexuals who contract HIV are intravenous drug users or prostitutes. And people who spend their days turning tricks or injecting toxic drugs into their veins tend to not be conscientious about showing up for the neighborhood blood drive. While the blood supply is certainly much safer than it was 15 years ago, and blood banks screen for HIV, testing is not 100 percent effective, and there is always the possibility of human error. An individual recently infected with HIV would not necessarily turn up HIV positive, Randy Shilts, author of the book And the Band Played On, coined the term "AIDspeak" to describe the attitude adopted by AIDS activists and health care officials regarding AIDS. The purpose of AIDspeak was to reassure people and never offend anyone, even at the expense of truth and lives. A classic example of AIDspeak was resistance to the idea that sexual promiscuity had anything to do with AIDS. "AIDS comes from a government laboratory not your lifestyle," proclaimed stickers plastered all over gay San Francisco. According to Shilts' book, the early AIDS epidemic in the United States was fueled by the mind-boggling promiscuity and unhealthy sex practices of homosexual males in large cities. Bathhouses were fixtures of gay communities throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The bathhouses had little to do with cleanliness, but provided a place for gay men to engage in anonymous sex with multiple partners. Bathhouses were essentially incubators for disease as most visitors already had hepatitis, herpes, gay bowel syndrome and other STDs that made them more susceptible to contracting HIV. Additionally, few participants used condoms and frequently shared a common hose to clean out their rectums. The average bathhouse visitor boasted 2.7 partners per visit and the average AIDS-stricken gay man in San Francisco racked up an impressive 1,000 partners during his lifetime. Burkett recalls how Shilts, an openly gay HIV-positive San Francisco journalist, was ostracized and hated in the gay community for suggesting that it needed to take a serious look at the bathhouse scene and the effect it was having on their lives. When the public bathhouses were eventually closed down, segments of the gay community were incensed. They charged that the closings were not a result of health department regulations, but of homophobia. Was their reaction rational? No, but they weren't talking rationally. They were talking AIDSpeak. Barring gay men from donating blood is not about "marginalizing a subset of the population," to quote the director of KU Queers and Allies. Nor is it condemning homosexuality. If it were, then lesbians would be prohibited from donating blood. Except for maybe celibate nuns, lesbians have the lowest rates of HIV infection in the nation, according to Burkett. Sexually active gay men represent a high-risk segment of the population and should continue to be barred from donating blood, just as prostitutes and intravenous drug users are. Promiscuous heterosexuals should be booted from blood drives as well. The health and safety of those receiving transfusions is vastly more important than the hurt feelings of gay males who would like to donate blood. Nielsen is an Andover senior in anthropology. Calendar proposal threatens to destabilize industry perspective Last week, The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center announced plans to offer an alternative "Women of KU" Calendar to our current, local treasure. The center would lead us to believe that its vision of a calendar highlighting the academic accomplishments of female students would be a positive offering on campus. In reality, the aim of the center's project is far more serious and far more sinister than it would lead us to believe. Let's face the facts, folks: a new, alternative "Women of KU" calendar would disrupt an entire industry that, for decades, has helped honor and reward females for their hard work, skill and dedication to their craft. And let's get one thing straight: A gorgeous smile and killer curves are indeed a noble craft, even if the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center would have us thinking otherwise. 图 Ben McCarthy opinion@kansan.com COMMENTARY The "Women of KU" calendar would be the first in a long line of honorable occupations to fail victim to this new calendar. The folks at Emily Taylor fail to tell us that they are leading women down a dangerous road. What is happening Popularized during the Kennedy administration, the Domino Theory held that once we destabilized one institution of positive female images, we ran the risk of bringing down other institutions. Thousands of jobs could be lost if these rebels are successful in altering the attitudes of frisko, Clinton-esque boys. What becomes of the "Girl in bildini standing around at Boat Show with nothing to do?" brings to mind the political rhetoric of the 1960s and the Domino Theory that warned us of how our female role models would be ripped away from us. Where will those girls disappear to? Will all the sacrifice that went into those wet T-shirt contests in Cancun have been for not? The "Women of KU" calendar has highlighted this exact kind of sacrifice, and served as a stepping stone for girls looking for upward mobility in one of America's most noble institutions. Ordinarily, the chain of progression would go as follows: college student to calendar pin-up girl to Vegas show girl to gentleman's club dancer to extra in cheesy rap video. Sure, a few of the lucky ones may end up on the arm of Snoop Dogg with a chain locked around their neck, but most girls are dependent on avenues such as the "Women of KU" calendar to provide space to showcase their talents. Yet the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center endangers the entire, fragile ecosystem that supports millions of female life forms who sport a small amount of fabric crammed up their posterior. What will be the stepping stone for cheerleaders on their way to the bright lights of Sin City without the existence of the calendar? Have we forgotten Dr. King's dream for this country? He imagined a world where women would not be judged by the qualities of their character, but rather by a curvaceous physique. Sadly, this dream seems to be dying a slow death in America. Nationally, the producers of Girls Gone Wild have been tied up with court litigation for well over a year now. Locally, we are trying to deny girls their right to be memorialized on bathroom walls of middle-aged men who long for their collegiate careers. Isn't it enough for us to prevent girls their God-given right to go wild? "Noooo," says the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. Apparently we must do our part locally to oppress these girls. And for what? In order to afford some anthropology major the chance to become a masturbatory fantasy along Avalon road? It's time we make a stand for the "Women of KU," and their fellow freedom fighters. Lest we forget these brave souls, and what they did to make this country great: Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Medgar Evans, Jenna Jarreson... McCarthy is a Lenexa nontraditional student.

James Abbott, of the Kansas City area group Djembe Kaan, ventured off the stage at last night's performance drumming in front of the crowd gathered at Murphy Hall. The piece the group performed was described as the dance of strong men. By Alex Hoffman ahoffman@kansan.com kansan staff writer The sounds of Africa brought rhythmic energy to the University of Kansas last night. Djembe Kaan, a Kansas City-based percussion group, played traditional instruments of west Africa at Swarthout Recital Hall. The group started its performance by singing offstage. The seven musicians then appeared in a single-file line wearing colorful African dress. After their vocal introduction, they began playing fast-paced, pulsating rhythms native to Burkina Faso, Senegal and the Ivory Coast. They alternated between drums they wore around their necks and drums that stood on their own. At times the musicians played as if they were competing with each other for the best rhythm. They rocked, hopped and swayed with the music, pounding the drums with their wrists. Each song would come to a frenzied end. zereena. "Their communication with each other is impressive," said Andy Schillinger, Overland Park junior. The name of the group comes from the dijembe, an hourglass-shaped drum used often in the concert. The word kaan means "voice" in an African language known as Mandingue. The music illustrated important events in the lives of the African people. The songs they performed celebrated agriculture, weddings and the arrival of "There's so much music in this world that we don't hear and that we don't experience." Clarence Henry assistant professor of ethnomusicology dignitaries. digitaries. It was the first known performance of music other classical or jazz in Swarthout, a smaller concert venue in Murphy Hall. phy Han. Djembe Kaan came to the University with the help of Clarence Henry, assistant professor of ethnomusicology. Henry said the concert served as a preview for the World Music and Global Diversity Concert in April. Diversity Concert "It shows people the value of other types of music," he said. "There's so much music in this world that we don't hear and that we don't experience. To bring a non-traditional group in a concert context is a big thing." Djembe Kaan has a connection with the University. They got started when James Abbott, a former KU student, developed an interest in drums. interest in drums. "There used to be guys who would get together in the park and play drums once in a while," he said. "I'd been a musician before, but never played drums. I just sat in, and I was hooked." just sit in, and I promise He met Sean Branagan, who shared his interest in the drums and learned under the same teacher in Lawrence. They then met the other members through playing at an African event in Rolla, Mo. Rolla, Mo. "We all got together and had four rehearsals to play this gig in front of a banquet hall of 250 people," Branagan said. "And we went down and we thought we sucked. We got up on stage and the reaction was sort of polite clapping." After hearing themselves perform, those first thoughts changed. changed. "We start listening to the recording and it's like, 'Wow! We sound really good,'" Branagan said. They have performed together since April 2002. The audience also participated in the concert, with hand claps cued by the musicians and a dance contest. The winner of the contest received a free CD or Djembe Kaan's music. Abbott hoped the audience gained a better appreciation for African culture. "I think the goal of the University is to enrich people's lives through exposure to new ideas," Abbott said. "One way we can preserve and pay tribute to these traditions is by performing their traditional arts." Edited by Andy Marso MORE MORE MORE MORE MINUTES MORE FEATURES MORE SERVICE P.

Ranjit Arab, a University staff member, said he was surprised by how little people were discussing board member Connie Morris' proposal to limit immigrant students' access to public schools. Morris ran on a platform that would remove the children of undocumented workers or illegal immigrants from Kansas public schools. Arab's film, El Jardin, was made during the Spring 2003 semester. Arab decided to make the video after reading about Morris' campaign in Kansas newspapers. Morris also suggested creating an English immersion program for students who would have to learn English as a second language. In Morris' plan, children would have one year to understand English or they would not be admitted into public schools. Removing these children from public schools is against a Supreme Court ruling and is illegal right now. "I couldn't believe it was going on and I wanted to add my two cents into the discussion," Arab said. Arab traveled to Garden City, where minorities outnumber Caucasians. Garden City is also represented by Morris in Kansas' fifth district. Morris could not be reached for comment. While in Garden City, Arab interviewed residents to let them talk about how they felt about the issue. Arab also spent time in a Garden City elementary school that taught children who would "It made me realize I need to focus on all areas of politics, especially education. I have a child and I should look at it now and not when she's ready to go to school." Daynen Lalicker Topeka graduate student be affected by Morris' platform. "I feel one of the best ways to advocate this subject is to show these kids," Arab said. Lentendre said that she was teaching a form of social work practice where social workers learned to understand issues so they could help children. Lentendre said she hoped showing the film would make her students aware of the issue presented in the film. The film's first screening was yesterday morning in Joan Lentendre's social work practice in schools class. Lentendre, assistant professor of social welfare, said she showed the film because her class was discussing advocacy. Daynen Lalicker, Topeka graduate student, watched the film in Lentendre's class. Lalicker said the film made her realize how little she had paid attention to the Board of Education race. "It made me realize I need to focus on all areas of politics, especially education," Lalicker said. "I have a child and I should look at it now and not when she's ready to go to school." The movie will be shown next on Wednesday, Sept. 17 at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries. Aaron Showalter/Kansan Nina Kinti-Moss applauded the completion of the naturalization ceremony Thursday afternoon at the Dole Institute. CITIZEN: Anniversary brings joy CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A She said she was nervous about becoming a citizen on the two-year anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and did not feel like celebrating because of the effect it had on the entire world. "Humans can face difficult moments," Kinti-Moss said. During the ceremony, each candidate for citizenship stood as their name, occupation and country of origin was announced. Judge Deanell Reece Tacha, who presided over the ceremony, then asked the candidates to renounce any allegiances to foreign nations and pledged all their allegiances to the United States. For Kinti-Moss, that was not only the first moment that she could call herself an American, but the first moment she was legally Nina Kinti-Moss. She petitioned to change her name It's a ceremony of hope, of beginnings." Richard Norton Smith director of the Dole Institute from Martina Masaquiza to her Quechua Indian name when she was naturalized. Nina Kinti is a name her parents gave her when she was a child. Many families and friends lingered outside the Dole Institute after the ceremony to take pictures with the flag-franked reflection pool in the background. Kinti-Moss had been alone at the ceremony — her husband had to work and her son was in class. She shuffled away quickly, though; her satisfaction with becoming a citizen was private, but no less fulfilling.

Without the extra $500,000, the project would either need to be downsized or donations sought. "It's not easy to come up with $500,000," Seuferling said. "I've tried this summer." Seufering said fundraising required education as well. "If you're a member of the class of '65, or '72, or '81, you don't know what a Multicultural Resource Center is," Seuferling said. "There wasn't one when you were on campus." "Some people are interested in the general concept of the center but they say 'No, I want to give this to students; I want to give it to minority students, I want to fund scholarships, I don't want to build a room,' " Seuferling said. For many potential donors, scholarships are more of a priority. Seuferling said. But Bell thinks the building is fundamental. "If we don't have a place that students can see on campus that "It's not easy to come up with $500,000.I've tried this summer" Date Settering Endowment Association president serves their needs, really the goals of the MRC have less of a chance of being met." Bell said. The group of students that has been working on the project has been waiting to suggest programming. Bell said the provost suggested waiting to form the project committee consisting of students and faculty. They would work on those issues until the donations were secured. Seuferling isn't opposed to a committee of this sort. For this project, he's readily available. He called Bell the moment he heard it was an option. If there was a meeting coming up, he said he would like to be invited. He's ready to act. "If there is an interest or a need to get the written pledge from the donor, we can pursue that." Seuferling said. Bell is just waiting for the provost's go ahead for a faculty and student planning committee. Until then, the student MRC group will meet with Seferling to keep the project rolling. "I don't fully understand why we have to wait since we do know for sure that the donor is donating a million dollars," Bell said. - Edited by Dave Nobles LEGEND: Masturbator returns CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A males — hardly uncommon in a college town in Kansas. "Yeah, we've got a few of those here," Bailey said. Over the past three years, there have been 12 cases of indecent exposure, eight of which involved lewd behavior such as masturbation. Jayhawk Boulevard was the most common spot for such activity. Dennis Dailey, professor of For as long as Dailey can remember, there has been a campus masturbator. He said in his 35 years at the University not a year had gone by when exhibitionists hadn't exposed themselves on campus. social welfare, said that odds were there may be two or three exhibitionists living on campus. The difference between exhibitionists and streakers is that exhibitionists habitually expose themselves for sexual gratification, while streakers are usually just pulling a prank or doing it on a dare. "The man or woman out streaking across the football field isn't trying to get their jolls off" he said. Dailey said that exhibitionists tended to come from sexually repressive families, were detached from understanding sexuality and lacked good social skills. However, they are often married with children in generally stable families. The reasons someone would become an exhibitionist were extraordinarily complex, he said, but he would be glad to refer anyone with exhibitionistic tendencies to someone who could help them. "It's important to get help as soon as possible," Dailey said. "The more an exhibitionist exposes himself, the better chance he has of getting caught and facing criminal charges."

Gordon had four catches for 59 yards in the last week's 46-24 victory over UNLV and is expected to be a threat when Kansas takes on Wyoming tomorrow at 3p.m. in Laramie, Wyo. By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter Now that the Kansas football team has experienced victory, the next step is accomplishing the same feat on the road. The Jayhawks will have that opportunity when they head to Laramie, Wyo., to take on the Wyoming Cowboys 3 p.m. tomorrow. As if it won't be difficult enough for the young team to win its first road game, the weather forecast does not look cooperative. With temperatures expected to dip as low as 40 degrees and a chance of rain, coach Mark Mangino told his team to make the best of a tough situation. Even with the offensive success, what pleases Mangino most is the performance of his special teams units. make the best of a tough situation. "When we started practice today, the temperature was 90." Mangino said. "I told our guys they'll think they've died and gone to heaven." uses the success to his goal. "They've responded well to the coaching." Warinner said. "They're starting to gel in terms of working together." In yesterday's final practice, Mangino gave senior quarterback Bill Whittemore a feel for what to expect by having him practice with footballs dunked in water. Through two games, Kansas ranks first in the Big 12 Conference in total offense and sixth in the conference in rushing offense. Even though the line is made up mainly of fresh faces, first-year offensive line coach Ed Warinner attributes the success to his group's unity. downs in the game's first win. If the Jayhaws hope to repeat last weekend's performance in which they gained 276 rushing yards in their 46-24 victory over UNLV, the offensive line will have to continue its improvement. "The emphasis that we've put on special teams is now starting to pay off," Mangino said. "When you look at the field position our offense was able to have, the fact that we didn't put our punter on the field, we were perfect in field goals and extra points, that's a good game." practice with footballs an atmosphere if the weather presents an atmosphere like that of the Jahawks' opening game against Northwestern, Kansas' ground game could play the biggest role of all. and play the biggest role of last weekend, Wyoming allowed Oklahoma State tailback Tatum Bell to run wild for 215 yards and three touchdowns in the game's first three quarters.

Junior kicker Johnny Beck found some consistency in a 4-for-4 field goal effort last Saturday, and freshman punt returner Charles Gordon also made his coaches smile.

Vance has spent the past few weeks preparing for life away from the department. "The last two football games I sat in the stands for the first time in 20 years," he said. "It was a difficult change to do that, but I want the Jayhawks to do very well in the future." After weeks of deliberation, Vance decided to retire based on family matters. "This is more of a family decision for me," he said. "In recent days I've had the opportunity to do things with my sons and grandsons. This had nothing to do with my feelings about the department." SCHWARTZ Even though Vance will enjoy his time with his family, he said he was bringing with him relationships that he would not have made if not for his years at Kansas. "Doug took a chance on me and gave me my start in this business as an intern in 1997." Germann said. "He is one of the best in the business of media relations at dealing with media, coaches and his peers." sports commentary Vance Mitten Germain, director of media relations, and Mason Logan, associate media relations director, said they appreciated Vance's work for the department. Vance had been with the department for21 years. He was promoted to associate athletics director in 2001. His responsibilities included media relations, marketing, information systems Mitch Germann 1978-83. Vance was also active in collegiate athletics outside of Kansas during his career in the University's athletics department. He was a member of the NCAA Coordination Committee for four years and served as media coordinator for the 1997 NCAA Tournament Midwest Regional in Kansas City, Mo. After attending Eastern Kentucky University, Vance worked five years as sports information director at Austin Peay State University from 1973-78 and Murray State University from 1978-83. and working with the KU Athletics Hall of Fame. He was also involved in the University's trademark licensing office and coordinated the department's contract with ESPN Regional. Outside of collegiate sports, Vance worked as a press officer for the 1987 and 1989 Olympic Festivals, the 1991 Pan American Games in Cuba and the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. He also served as co-author of Max and the Jay hawks, a book about broadcaster Max Falkenstein. "Obviously his reputation is well-regarded around the Big 12 and the country." Logan said. For his contributions to University media relations, Vance was elected into the College Sports Information Directors of America Hall of Fame after serving as the organization's president. "To get elected to that position means you have to be respected and well known for your work," Logan said. Vance, who lives in Lawrence with his wife, Sue, has no specific plans for what career path he will embark on, but wants to stay in the area. "I'm very interested in seeing what's out there," Vance said. "I'm ready to leave the college campus and pursue something off campus. I'm treating this as a rebirth and rebirths are exciting." —Edited by Andy Marso Jonah Ballow jballow@kansan.com Athletes should wait on NFL One man could change the face of college football with one monumental decision. Ohio State University running back Maurice Clarett was suspended Wednesday for the rest of the 2003 season. Ohio State decided to punish the sophomore star because the school said he lied to NCAA investigators and accepted thousands of dollars in improper benefits. Ohio State penalized Clarett to stay away from any violations the NCAA could impose on the university. Clarett will keep his scholarship for the remainder of the year, but will have to make a decision about his future. With Claret's solid freshman performance, the question is now raised: Can a player leave early from college to the pros? The NFL states that players must have been out of high school for three years in order to declare for the draft. Now, for the first time in college football, there is serious consideration that someone could challenge the rule. could challenge the university. If the rule was changed, universities across the country, including the University of Kansas, could see the effects. Recruitment would become more difficult for teams because the number of available players would decrease and limit the pool of talent. Teams would have even more trouble competing with the bigger schools and a trickle-down effect could develop. Looking in the past, a player like Dana Stubblefield had a stellar three-year career with the Jayhawks. During his junior season he recorded 10 of his total 19 career sacks. Stubblefield gained fame with his Aloha Bowl performance where he was named most valuable player in his senior season. The star defensive end benefited from another year at the college level. level. Clarett can choose from a variety of options. He can take the one-year suspension and wait to play for Ohio State next year without being able to practice all season. The running back could transfer to another Division I-A school and sit out another year, plus any suspension the NCAA would add to the punishment. Another possibility for Clarett is to transfer to a Division I-AA school and instantly play with consent from the NCAA. College football is one of the most popular attractions in sports for a reason. It features great players who have a chance to develop before heading to the NFL. Both college and professional football have benefited from the strict rules now that are in jeopardy. If Clarett decides not to sue the NFL, one day a player will come along and challenge the rules. The NFL needs to stay strong and resist any attempt by a player to forgo the three years rule. College basketball has taken a serious hit because of players heading to the NBA draft either right out of high school or after one season. or after one season. Not only would a player not be ready for the NFL mentally but physically as well. The league is full of veteran players who are prepared because of their experience in either college or a professional league in Canada. With Clarett making his decision, the NFL must refuse to let players enter the draft in order to protect one of the league's most valuable commodities: the game of college football.

These two teams are pretty evenly matched, but with the weather forecasted to be wet and cold come game time, you have to go with the team who can pound the ball on the ground. Greene's Pick: Kansas Notre Dame vs. Michigan The day I pick Notre Dame to beat my Wolverines is the day that Justin Guarini has talent. Greene's Pick: Michigan North Carolina State vs. Ohio State As hard as it is for me to pick Ohio State, North Carolina State let me down big time last week when they were shut down by Wake Forest. If sophomore tailback T.A. McClendon isn't play- img, North Carolina State has an ice cube's chance in an oven on the road against the Buckeyes. Greene's Pick: Ohio State Georgia Tech vs. Florida State Throughout history, Georgia Tech has always had the ability to pull off the big upset. However, this year's Tech squad is not nearly what it has been in recent seasons, and the game is in Talahassee. The Yellow Jackets don't stand a chance. Greene's Pick: Florida State Hawaii is talented, don't get me wrong, and quarterback Timmy Chang will be able to put some points on the board against the Trojans. If the game was in Honolulu, I might pick the upset, but USC will not lose a nonconference game in Los Angeles. Plus, Hawai's corners cannot stop the nation's top wide receiver corps at USC. Greene's Pick: USC UMass vs. K-State Another tough non-Division I contest for Kansas State. The question is not whether it'll win, but instead whether it can avoid losing even more of their starters to injury. Greene's Pick: Kansas State Penn State vs. Nebraska Nebraska wants revenge for the thrashing it took last fall when visiting Happy Valley. Now that it has the Nittany Lions coming to Lincoln, it'll have its revenge however they want it. Greene's Pick: Nebraska lowa vs. Iowa State Iowa's good, and Iowa State's terrible. It's really that simple. Greene's Pick: Iowa Washington State vs. Colorado This is the week's toughest game to pick. Both teams can score and make it a shootout, but if the two get locked in a defensive struggle, the advantage goes to the Buffaloes. Plus, Folsom Field is a tough place to play a road game. Greene's Pick: Colorado Arkansas vs. Texas Arkansas is 1-0 with a 45-13 victory. That victory came against Tulsa, one of the three worst teams in Division I-A. Confidence is the only thing that may help it in this one. Greene's Pick: Texas SMU vs. Baylor I truly feel bad for anyone who has to watch this game. Both teams are regulars at the cellar of their conference standings, but since Baylor may not have another chance to win a game all year, then what the heck. Good luck guys. Greene's Pick: Baylor Siena vs. Stony Brook Honestly, how can you pick against a team named the Sea-wolves? Greene's Pick: Stony, Brook Greene is a Vernon Hills, IL., senior in journalism. Football rivals to face off By Matt Lozar The Observer University of Notre Dame SOUTH BEND, Ind. — In case you didn't know, it's Notre Dame-Michigan week, which means the players and coaches are attempting to not over-hype this game. "You still have 11 guys on offense, 11 guys on defense. You still have to line up and execute your technique and the Besides the length of the rivalry, the success of the two teams adds meaning to every game. play calls," Notre Dame cornerback Vontez Duff said. "It's one of those games where there are more fans. "We have to have the mindset and attitude to go in there and execute our technique and get things done." Even Duff admits it's hard not to think about how big this game actually is. The significance of this rivalry goes back to Nov. 23, 1887, when the Irish played their first game against the Wolverines. Michigan won 8-0. "It's a battle man. It's going to be away. It's going to be down to the last second on the clock just like last year,” Duff said. “I feel as though if we go in and execute, it's going to be a great game.” Kansas athletics calendar today Soccer vs. Flerida State, 5 p.m. at SuperTarget Field, Lawrence.

The Kansas women's soccer team plays host to the KUStore.com Crimson and Blue Invitational. Eric Breem/Kansan The final round starts Sunday at 9:30 a.m. with San Diego State and Florida State. The tournament concludes with the Jayhawks playing the Golden Knights of Central Florida at noon. The tournament, returning after a two-year hiatus, will see matchups between Central Florida, San Diego State, Florida State and Kansas. Kansas coach Mark Francis said the team was a little tired this week in practice, but by yesterday's practice the players were feeling energized. He said the team had a opportunity to work on some of the mental errors it faced in Tuesday's game. Central Florida and San Diego State meet in the tournament's first game at 2:30 p.m. today at SuperTarget Field. The Jayhawks then face Florida State in the second game of the tournament at 5 p.m. "I think as poorly as they played, and we let them know, they will be ready to come back and play well," he said. Florida State should give Kansas a tough game. Though the team is 1-3-0 on the season, the Seminoles have lost to top-25 teams like 22nd ranked USC, No.7 Penn State and the sixth ranked Florida Gators. The Seminoles only victory thus far was over Jacksonville 3-1 FSU. a member of the Atlantic Freshman midfielder Michelle Rasmussen kicked the ball past a Northwestern defender in a Jayhawk victory. Rasmussen is a member of the nationally ranked freshman class. Coast Conference, regularly faces tough opponents like soccer powerhouse North Carolina. The Seminoles came in third in the ACC preseason coaches' poll behind North Carolina and Virginia respectively. Florida State finished 13-7-3 last season, with a trip to the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament where they lost to Connecticut. Connecticut. Like Kansas, the Seminoles have a strong freshman class. SoccerBuzz Magazine ranked FSU's seventh in the nation. Five of the seven freshmen have played in games and three have started for the Seminoles. Seminoles. The Jayhawks and Seminoles last played in 2001 when FSU came away with a 4-1 victory. The Seminoles are 3-3-1 all-time against Big 12 Conference opponents, but have yet to win on a Big 12 soccer field. 12 soccer teams Sunday's game against Central Florida will finish out the tournament. The Golden Knights are 3-1-0 on the season coming into Lawrence, recording victories over Pittsburgh, South Florida and Miami. The team's only loss this season came against No. 6 Florida last Sunday. Senior Maggie Mason said two victories this weekend could play an important role in Kansas' chances of getting a bid to the NCAA Tournament. to the NCAA Tournament. "We have the must-wins and the should-wins," she said. "Florida State is a game we just really need to win." The Golden Knights 2003 recruiting class was also ranked by SoccerBuzz Magazine, coming in 59th. ing round of the NCAA Tournament last season. The team finished last season at 18-5-0 and first place in the Atlantic Sun Conference. The team lost to Auburn in the open- UCF returns seven starters from last season's squad, with three sophomores making up the core of key returners. The Jayhawks will not face San Diego State in the tournament. The Aztecs finished 13-7-0 last season with a 5th place finish in the Mountain West Conference. Kansas junior forward Rachel Gilfillan said the Jayhawks wanted to spread out their offensive threats. After recording a goal and an assist in Tuesday's game against Southwest Missouri State, Gilfillan said she felt like a hidden weapon. weapon. "With Caroline being such a focus for other teams," she said. "I see it as an opening for me, and other forwards, to really step it up." — Edited by Dave Nobles KUJH revives past sports matches By John Domoney jdomoney@kansan.com Kansan staff writer KUJH has begun to show Kansas football games from years past as part of its new format. In an era when old school is intertwined with the culture of sports, the University of Kansas' KUJH television channel is joining the mix. "We've tried to establish a new format since February or March designed around KU legends," said Gary Hawke, general manager of KUJH. "We focus on some current stuff along with the history of KU." Since the beginning of the school year, KUJH has aired six old football games that highlight some memorable Jayhawk moments. In a partnership with Spencer Research Library and Sunflower Broadband, KUJH receives old Kansas athletic games to broadcast. Among the games the station has aired is a 43-29 victory over Missouri on Nov. 23, 1991. On that cold November afternoon, Jayhawk running back Tony Sands, known as Tuxedo Tony because he wore a tuxedo to every game, set an NCAA record of 396 rushing yards. The other games are a victory over Oklahoma State in 1990 and victories over Kansas State and Oklahoma along with an Aloha Bowl victory against Brigham Young on Christmas Day in 1992. The 1992 campaign resulted in an 8-4 record and Kansas' first bowl appearance since 1981. appearance since the The most recent game aired was a 21-20 loss to Nebraska in Lawrence on Nov. 6, 1993. Former Kansas coach Glen Mason decided to go for a two-point conversion late in the game instead of the tie. The play resulted in an incomplete pass and a failed attempt for the first Kansas win against Nebraska since 1968. Hawke said the station had access to about 100 games but some problems had occurred. "We're still working on getting access to some games," Hawke said. "We wanted to show the Aloha Bowl game from 1995, but we don't have the rights to access it because it is from ABC." Even with the process of trying to obtain old games from national television stations, Hawke said the station attempted to explain the situation to companies such as ABC. "We try to call them and explain to them that because we are in a university setting, we are not going to use these games for profit," Hawke said. "Those games will just sit there and they won't be replayed except for maybe a clip for something else." Last spring, KUJH replayed the men's basketball game against Marquette from Dec. 1, 1990, through the efforts of volunteers willing to record the game onto new digital files. Hawke said this fall was the first time that a production class at the University had been created to work on the production of the games. practice. “When we had volunteers the problem was that the student had to be willing to sit there for three hours and record the game onto a digital format,” Hawke said. oğularlı Hawke said KUJH had plans to replay several more old football games this fall and continue the new format into basketball season. KUJH was also planning to give some airtime to other Jaya hawk sports by replaying women's soccer and volleyball games from this season. In the near future, Hawke wants to put together a scheduled approach to the airing of the games. He said KUJH would like to put the airing times out to the public so people could plan to watch a particular game. Nearly a month into the showing of the football games, Hawke said the format had been well received. received "i probably get a couple of messages a day from people who want to see a particular game, replay a game or obtain a copy of the game," Hawke said. Matt Moran, St. Louis senior, said he thought the games should give the football team and the University a sense of pride. "Those games make me really wish we had a better football team," Moran said. "More wins would mean a better sense of school spirit." - Edited by Ehren Meditz The University of Kansas Department of Theatre & Film The University Theatre THE UNIVERSITY TREATHE 2003-2004 Season All performances are in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre University Theatre Season Kickoff william Inge directed by Jack Wright Sept. 5, 6, 2003 - 7:30 p.m. Sept. 7, 2003 - 2:10 p.m. Picnic All performances are in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre.

By David Diehl Daily Nebraska University of Nebraska 'Huskers to take on Penn State, Robinson N hwkrd to look hard. Michael Robinson will be everywhere. should keep their eyes peeled for that No. 12 in white tomorrow. Not that they'll have "He's great," Davis said. "He's multi-talented. It takes a lot of knowledge to learn all those positions." Robinson, Penn State's doeverything sophomore on offense, will carry the ball as an I-back, take snaps at quarterback, line up at receiver and field a punt or two. The 6-foot-2 Richmond, Va., native — listed in PSU's media guide as only a quarterback — introduced his many football talents to Nittany Lion fans a year ago against the Cornhuskers and will have the opportunity to burn Nebraska again in tomorrow's contest at Memorial Stadium. do the same this year." "I don't really view that as my breakout game," Robinson said Wednesday. "I really didn't do much, but I was introduced to a national audience and the Nebraska people." Hold the phone there, Mike. Didn't do much? "Hopefully I can get lucky and With athletes like PSU's Robinson and NU's Davis, coaches open up the doors for those players to get injured or worn out as the season wears on because of the time spent on the playing field. Nebraska coaches and Davis have said they're not worried about the Husker's top I-back breaking down. Apparently the two touchdowns he scored — one from the receiver slot on a reverse, the other as an I-back off tackle — and the 56 yards he racked up on just four carries aren't "much." Maybe scoring touchdowns on three straight touches, as Robinson would do a week later against Louisiana Tech, qualifies as something. During Robinson's redshirt freshman season, the former Virginia offensive prep player of the year needed to find a spot on the field, quarterback or otherwise. Robinson's size, and the power and speed behind it, combined with his smarts, made that much clear, even through Joe Paterno's bulletproof spectacles. To not notice those attributes, Paterno said, "You'd almost have to be blind." For the second time, Nebraska fans will get to witness them against NU as Robinson is doing much of the same for the Nittany Lions. He's often utilized in the three-man rotation at running back and he's lined up at receiver, but has snagged only one pass. He's also returned two punts. His 108 rushing yards and 18 carries both rank second on the team. Behind center is where Robinson truly wants to be, and he's spending more time there early on. A week ago against Boston College, No.12 was in long enough to throw 11 passes, though his four completions and a completion percentage between 30 and 40 makes it pretty clear why Zack Mills sits on top at the No.1 quarterback spot. Paterno feels the same way about his weapon. Mills said the same traits that got Robinson on the field in the first place kept him looking behind him to hold onto his No. 1 job. It doesn't help that Robinson hears fan whispers, some louder than others, that he should be running the show. "I think there's more pressure on me now." Mills said, "than if it was the other way around." And Mills didn't have a do-everything player on his heels. Robinson is strong and has the body build to endure so much play, the coach said. Robinson is listed at 225 pounds and could probably safely fit 20 more. 'He doesn't use a lot of energy to do what he does,' Paterno said. 'He can hold up pretty good.' Robinson fares even better when you don't know he's coming, as was the case last year for the Huskers. The element of surprise doesn't work so well three games into your sophomore season, when the opposition has a library of your game film. Sooner, Fresno State brothers to compete By Aaron Franci Oklahoma Daily via U-WIRE University of Oklahoma Sooner fans scream at the top of their lungs to try to distract the Fresno State offense, there is going to be QU As the Sooner defense takes the field and more than 80,000 rabies one player on the OU sidelines who will be watching the action through the cracks of his fingers as he nervously shields his eyes on every snap. That young man is Sooner freshman quarterback Tommy Grady. It's not that Tommy Grady is a nervous person. Tomorrow, however, he just might be. Grady's older brother, Jeff Grady, the Fresno State Bulldogs' starting quarterback. "It's a little nerve-wracking. I mean, this is such a good defense," said Tommy Grady on his brother's impending matchup with the Oklahoma defense. Jeff Grady is entering his senior year as FSU's starting quarterback. He took over at the beginning of this season after starting quarterback Paul Pinegar was sidelined. Funny enough, it is Oklahoma's 6-foot-7-inch Tommy Grady who is actually mimicking his brother this week on the scout team, helping the defense prepare for his older brother. The Bulldogs have faced some tough defenses so far -- at Tennessee and during last week's upset win at home against Oregon State. Now the Bulldogs must travel to Norman to face the top-ranked Sooners, which will be the first time Fresno State has faced a No. 1 team. "We have the same capabilities, so I guess it's good because I'm helping out the team," Grady said. Coach Bob Stoops commented on the situation in his weekly press conference on Tuesday. "He's just a little bit taller than his brother, but he's wearing No. 15 [Jeff's number] all week." Stoops said. "I was teasing him yesterday not to be giving away any secrets when he talks to him later this week. His older brother will be trying to work him for some information." Tommy Grady would like to see his older brother do well,but nothing beats Tommy's devotion to his own team. "I'd like to see him do well, because I've seen how hard he works," said Grady. "Hopefully he does good, but I want to win." Texas to take on Razorbacks By Lorne Chan By Lorne Chan Daily Texan University of Texas-Austin AUSTIN, Texas — Texarkana is a road-tripper's oasis — six exits on I-30 that promise Golden Texas Arches and Big Gulps f or everyone. It's acityliterally torn by a border, split into two by the Texas-Arkansas state line and once divided by a football rivalry. Cornerback Nathan Vasher, one of Texarkana's proudest residents, knows all about the Texas-Arkansas rivalry, and is ready to represent his hometown. Well, at least half of it. "It's going to be fun," Vasher said. "Back home, I have a lot [of] friends in the area that are going to come down for the game. I'm trying to get as many tickets as I can for this -- I might need a little bit over 30." Vasher grew up on the Texas side of Texarkana, which is divided into two cities with one in each state. He attended Texas high school, wearing replica Longhorn uniforms and playing the cross-town Razor-backs every year. While most Texas players don't understand the gravity of the rivalry, Vasher has lived it his whole life. "This game goes back way longer than everyone on this team has been playing." Vasher said. "They're Hog crazy, and it's really important for them to win for bragging rights." Ever since Vasher -- who was recruited by Arkansas -- decided to attend Texas, people have been talking to him about the game. His cousin, St. Louis Rams rookie defensive end Randy Garner, went to Arkansas, but Vasher's loyalties don't cross the line, and the Texas side of the city even named May 22 "Nathan Vasher Day." "A guy that can do what Nathan can do has a lot of" Vasher, dubbed "ESPN3" for making the highlight reel constantly, has impressed with his 4.3 speed and his catching ability, including the game-saving interception in Texas' 27-24 win at Nebraska. "He jokes with us, lets us know it's a hardcore town," safety Dakaral Pearson said. "He says it's fiery in Texarkana, but he likes it, and he's the guy there. He likes to go back, and I'm pretty sure the town is behind him 100 percent." options," defensive coordinator Carl Reese said. "He has really good hands. That sets him apart from other backs." Reese said Vasher has improved most in his pre-snap reads. Vasher had to adjust to being the senior leader in the secondary this season, but that was nothing compared to the adjustment he made his freshman year. Vasher switched to defense after playing wide receiver in high school, where he caught 12 touchdown passes his senior year. "He had a problem with [having a wide receiver's mentality] when he came in, but coach [Duane] Akina came in and helped him adjust to tracking the receiver instead. All DBs have that problem, looking in the backfield, but it's not a problem now." Vasher already had an interception against New Mexico State and is eighth on Texas' alltime list with 12 interceptions. Vasher also has a less-heated rivalry in his own secondary, with Pearson looking to improve on his six interceptions last season. "Our hands are the same, but I will have to give myself the upper hand on that, considering I can catch the one-handed pick." Pearson said. "Tie goes to me."

WYOMING WHENWHERE:Saturday, 3 p.m., War Memorial Stadium RADIO: 90.7, KJHK HOW THEY COMPARE The Kansas Jayhawks face their second Mountain West conference opponent in two weeks when they take on the Wyoming Cowboys tomorrow in Laramie, Wyo. If last week's games were any indicator of how well the Big 12 Conference matches up against the Mountain West, the Jayhawks should like their chances. Kansas used a 22-point third quarter to put away the pesky UNLV Rebels. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State pummeled Wyoming 48-24. Oklahoma State led 41-7 late in the third quarter before pulling its starters. Bill Whittemore accounted for more than 300 yards of total offense, while sophomore Clark Green ran for 117 yards. Both teams have explosive offenses and somewhat suspect defenses. Plus, the 7,000-foot altitude of Wyoming's War Memorial Stadium should make for a high-altitude shootout. Mark Mangino, Kansas football coach, said the game would be a close one. "It is going to be a dogfight out there," Mangino said. "They would love nothing more than to play well and defeat a team from the Big 12." OFFENSIVE ADVANTAGE; Kansas Clark Green Kansas offense fired on all cylinders last Satur day. Whittemore is a strong-armed quarterback who leads the team with moxie. Clark Green is the workhorse back, while super-quick freshman John Randle added 77 yards on the ground against UNLV. The wide receivers are talented, as Charles Gordon and Mark Simmons offer big-play potential. Brandon Rideau and oderick Johnson are lanky P wideouts who are good on fades or over the middle. The Kansas line has been spectacular, giving Whittemore time to pass, while clearing lanes for Kansas running backs to average almost five yards per carry. per carry. Wyoming is led by Casey Bramlet, a senior quarterback who succeeds without much media attention. Bramlet threw for 308 yards against Oklahoma State. As Bramlet goes, so goes the Cowboys offense. The receiving corps is tall and skilled, with 6-foot-1 Jovon Bouknight, 6-foot-6 Malcom Floyd, and 6-foot-1 Ryan McGuffey, Bouknight and Floyd both had 100-yard receiving games against Oklahoma State, and Floyd has caught a pass in 33 consecutive games. Running back Derek Armach has 104 yards rushing in two games, but only averages 3.4 yards per carry. Wyoming's offensive line has been pathetic, allowing 11 sacks in two games. Wyoming also averages only 1.8 yards per carry. DEFENSIVE ADVANTAGE: Kansas Both defenses have struggled this season; however, Kansas' defense has shown big play potential. shown big play positions Stacked with playmaking athletes, the Kansas defense needs to be more consistent. Most or all of the big plays against the Jayhawks have occurred when players were out of position or missed assignments. The defensive line must get pressure on the passer as Kansas does not have a sack yet. Expect them to get over that hump this week against the Wyoming line. woyoming line. Kansas has returned interceptions for touchdowns in the last two games and can put together spurts of good, sound defense. sound defense: The defense's strong point is the sophomore linebacking trio of Gabe Toomey, Banks Floodman and Nick Reid. The defensive backfield struggled against Northwestern and was solid against UNLV, so consistency is a key. Wyoming is undersized up front and can be dominated physically. On the three-deep depth chart, only one of its six defensive tackles weighs over 275 pounds. 9 It allows 5.6 yards per carry. Bill Whittemore The linebackers are decent, led by Randy Tscharner in the middle. Hays native Tyler Gottschalk and Guy Tuell are good from the outside. The defensive backs must improve to slow down Whitmore. Oklahoma State's Josh Fields was effective throwing the ball. Junior kicker Johnny Beck added four field goals last week. While Curtis Ansel never punted against UNLV, he was extremely effective against Northwestern. The coverage units also played well. The special teams unit played a huge factor in the win against UNLV. Charles Gordon is a deadly punt returner, while Greg Heaggans is always a threat at kick returner. SPECIAL TEAMS: Kansas 4 Wyoming has been the launching ground for several great coaches, including Nebraska legend Bob Devaney, Dennis Erickson who later won the national championship with Miami, and current Purdue coach Joe Tiller. Although Wyoming hasn't returned a punt for a touchdown since 1995 or a kick for a touchdown since 1999, the kicking and punting units are solid. coach Joe McNally Joe Glenn may follow in that tradition. A very intelligent, defensive-minded coach, Glenn has won everywhere he has been, including Glenn COACHES: Kansas winning the award for Division 1-AA coach of the year. Glenn loves to blitz, and is a big fan of the zone blitz. Kansas must be able to pick up his blitzes to win. to win. Anyone watching the Kansas team between last year and this year can tell the difference in talent and attitude. The change can be attributed to Mangino. He has assembled a talented staff, and the additions of Chris Dawson, strength and conditioning coach, and Ed Warinner, offensive line coach, have looked genius so far. The offensive playcalling is creative. It isn't often that a quarterback is considered the X-Factor, but Bramlet is extremely streaky. When he's hot, few quarterbacks in the nation can match him. X-FACTOR: Bramlet Kansas' ability to get to Bramlet may decide the game. If he is allowed to sit back and pick apart the defense, this game could go to the Cowboys. Kansas must pressure Bramlet to throw him off his rhythm if it wants to win this game. BOTTOM LINE: Kansas Kansas has too many weapons on offense for Wyoming to stop, and the defense will correct several of the mistakes it made last week to earn a key victory on the road. Kansas special teams could also widen the gap although Bramlet could make the game closer than it should be.

Eric J. Wellhausen, Mount Prospect, Ill., freshman, was found unconscious and unresponsive in the grass on the west side of Oliver Hall shortly after 2 a.m. Friday. Oliver residents were in mourning as they tried to piece together tiny bits of information and rumors about Wellhausen's death. Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public user's death Safety Office said Wellhausen was either sitting in his window or standing on the ledge smoking a cigarette. After he fell, Wellhausen lay in the grass between 30 and 45 minutes before anyone noticed.

Edited by Joey Berlin Native-American art focus of local show By Abby Mills almills@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Chaz Rose, 10, has been versed in Native-American culture since he was born. This weekend he came from his home in Springfield, Mo., to pass some knowledge on to Lawrence residents. Rose and his grandmother, Esther Cajero, sold pottery and bow and arrow sets Saturday and yesterday from a tent at Haskell Indian Nations University. Nations University. "It comes down to a level where it's fun," Cajero said. "And at the same time we let people know about our culture." Native-American culture was the focus of the 15th annual Lawrence Indian Arts Show. Spencer Art Museum, the Lawrence Arts Center and Haskell sponsored events Friday through yesterday. Events began at the arts center with a reception for the art show. Items on exhibit include textiles, pottery, jewelry, photography and paintings by Native-American artists. The show is on display through Oct. 11. Ariel Tilson/Kansan "It's a tremendous way of bringing art of Native-American culture into Lawrence," she said. "Art is a great way to promote cross-cultural understanding." through college Maria Martin, show coordinator, said the art center's new downtown location would make the art more accessible. In addition to traditional culture, the show includes modern Native-American artists. Jesse Beier, 2003 graduate of the University, went to the exhibit at Spencer Art Museum Saturday. The show runs through Oct.19. through Oct. 15. Beeler said he had expected more traditional art and was surprised to see so many contemporary paintings. Edmund Ridesatdoor, 7, danced at the Native American Art's Festival yesterday at Haskell Indian Nations University. The event featured dancers from a variety of tribes. "She incorporates pop culture and stereotypes with her own culture to make a statement." he said, pointing to a painting by Jaune Quick-To-See Smith. The picture depicted the silhouetted head of a man in a headdress. Smith painted a body in a business suit beneath the head, representing the two worlds Native-Americans inhabit. Rose said he lived with that dual identity every day. Rose lives in Springfield but spends his summers with his grandparents in Jemez Pueblo, N.M., a reservation for the Jemez tribe.Rose learned how to make bows and arrows from his grandfather and uses "You know you're from one culture, but then you go live in another," he said. "It's a tremendous way of bringing art of Native- American culture into Lawrence." Rose began making pottery with his Marisa Martin coordinator of the Indian Arts Show them to hunt. He and his grandfather gather and cut the wood and hunt turkeys for feathers. He also digs and processes clay for his pottery. mother at age 5. In August, he won firstplace for a clay canoe at the Santa Fe Indian Market. He also won two other prizes at the show. While Lawrence's exhibit is not as big as the show in Santa Fe, N.M., it is among the 15 largest Native-American art shows in the country. Rita Wilson, a silversmith from Canon- chito, N.M., said she enjoyed her first experience in Lawrence. "I will be back next year for sure," she said. "This show is cheaper and I like the way they set it up." 1 Edited by Shane Mettlen in other words "Arafat can no longer be a factor in what happens here.

CAMARILLO, Calif. — Retail gasoline prices increased a fraction of a penny in the past three weeks, stabilizing after a steep climb of 21 cents a gallon since early June, an analyst said yesterday. Nation taken Aug. 22. Analyst Triby Lundberg said the end of the summer driving season and a general reduction in the cost of crude oil helped prices stabilize. That's an increase of about 0.29 of a cent since the last Lundberg Survey was taken Aug. 22. Gasoline prices see plateau after summer increases "I expect gasoline prices to go down from here," Lundberg said. The average price for a gallon of selfserve gasoline nationwide, including all grades and taxes, was $1.75 on Friday, according to the Lundberg Survey of 8,000 stations. Price cuts already were occurring in some parts of the country, including much of the West Coast and parts of the Midwest and Gulf Coast, Lundberg said. The earlier increase was the largest retail price hike on record since the Lundberg Survey began keeping records 50 years ago. Two-thirds of it came between Aug. 8 and Aug. 22. During August, East Coast and Midwest electricity blackouts shut down several refineries, and a West Coast pipeline rupture halted gasoline deliveries to Phoenix and soaked up already tight regional supplies. As of Friday, self-serve regular gasoline showed an average weighted price of $1.72 a gallon, with midgrade at $1.82 and premium at $1.91. Tennis stars' sister killed; three suspects in case COMPTON, Calif. — An older sister of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams was shot to death yesterday, and sheriff's deputies surrounded a house where three suspects were barricaded, authorities said. Yetunde Price, 31, of Corona, was gunned down shortly after midnight in the Los Angeles suburb of Compton following a confrontation with some residents, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Butler said. She was pronounced dead at a hospital. At about 6 a.m., about 40 deputies surrounded a home where three people believed involved in the confrontation were barricaded, Deputy Richard Pena said. No arrests were immediately made. Price was one of five Williams sisters who spent their early years in Compton. The family later moved to Florida. Price was identified as a registered nurse and a business management major in Venus Williams' personal information listed in the 2003 media guide for the WTA Tour.

The oldest structure on campus is the old KU power plant located next to the Dole Human Development Center near the corner of Sunnyside and Sunflower roads. The building was built in 1887 and has been used as a warehouse since the 1920s. The building is being saved from demolition by the new Hall Center of the Humanities, which is being constructed on the same site and will incorporate the look of the old building.

The food guide pyramid, the familiar graphic found on food labels and packing since 1992, is under construction. The United States Department of Agriculture plans to revise the graphic in order to include a consideration of a person's age, gender, weight and fitness level.

The food guide pyramid graphically represents what and how much food a person should eat in a day. The current pyramid is divided into six food groups, with daily recommendations based on servings. The pyramid considers three calorie-intake levels when determining portions. Nothing is finalized, but early plans call for the new food guide to be divided into nine or more categories. Cups and ounces will replace servings and 12 calorie-intake levels will be considered. A graphic has not been designed. The department is accepting public comments and suggestions on the revision. The department plans to release finalized guidelines and a graphic in the winter of 2005. winter 2015 Kimble said he stayed away from the current pyramid because it was vague and grouped food in general categories. For example, the pyramid recommends six servings of grains per daw. "You can get that from six Twinkies," Kimble said. The new pyramid will specifically recommend whole grains, such as oatmeal and brown rice. Kimble said he hoped a new graphic would increase nutritional awareness, but he remained skeptical.

Poison ivy grows behind Miller Scholarship Hall and in many other wooded areas on campus. Poison ivy is a native plant to the area, making it difficult to kill. Poison ivy abundant throughout University By Abby Mills almills@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Leaves of three,let it be. Leaves of three, let it be. The simple rhyme for spotting poison ivy may be one of the best ways to prevent exposure to the weed. Shannon Cline was last year's beautification chair for Miller Scholarship Hall when she was infected with poison ivy. She was inspecting flower beds around the hall last September and soon found rashes on her neck and arms. She said flower beds were so overgrown, she could not see which areas had poison ivy. Fear of the weed prevented hall residents from working on plants If it weren't for the poison ivy, Cline said, residents would have cleared out the overgrown patio area in back, which overlooks Mount Oread. "It's a shame — it's such a beautiful view," Cline said. "We have made efforts to use this space, but we don't know what we can do." Chris Romero, physical plant supervisor for the University of Kansas, said Miller had a particularly difficult patch of poison ivy on the northeast corner of the building. "That one has been hard to kill for some reason," he said. "I've tried killing that thing for five years now. It's a pain in the butt." Romero thought the plant's roots had gotten so large and deep that the poison he uses hasn't been able to penetrate to the inner root. He also thought the plant had grown a resistance to the current poison. Romero said he was looking for something stronger. While Miller was a unique case, Romero said, there's nothing unique about poison ivy on the hill. "Any wooded areas on campus have poison ivy," Romero said. "It's a natural plant to the area. Long before any of us were here, it was on the prairie." Romero said landscaping crews prevented poison ivy on maintained parts of campus with a granular herbicide, but could not prevent growth in more natural areas "If you go out in the woods, it's your own fault," he said. cleaning yards - fraternities and sororities especially." sororites especially. Strother said spring and fall were the worst times because people were doing more outside activities. She said camping was another activity that could lead to poison ivy infection and warned that Clinton Lake was a common place for students to become infected Myra Strother, staff physician at Watkins Health Center, said the health facility sees many students who are infected with poison ivy in fall and spring. "The main thing to know is we have it everywhere around here," she said. "People often get it Most people do not need to seek medical treatment for poison ivy, but those who have a severe allergic reaction should go to a doctor to stop it from spreading. Strother said. Despite myth, poison ivy does not spread by touching infected parts once the oil that originally caused the rash is gone. Strother said if the rash continued to spread the day after it first appeared, it was because the person's system was reacting to the allergen. Strother said steroids would stop the rash, but were given only to people with severe reactions. Tips for preventing and treating poison ivy: **Recognize the enemy — Poison ivy can grow in vines or shrubs. Leaves are grouped in bunches of three and turn yellow or red in the fall, often before other plants. The leaves can cause rashes even if they're dying or dead.** Prevent contact - Poison ivy rash is caused by contact with urushiol, an oil the plant produces. Wear long sleeves, pants and shoes that cover the feet when in the yard or wooded areas. Keep clean - Wash any areas that may have touched oil. If done within five minutes, a rash could be prevented. Also wash clothes or equipment that may have touched the oil. Cool off - Rashes get worse with heat. Keep rashes cool with products like Aveneo, cool baths or calamine lotion.

THE BIG SNAPPLE © official beverage of New York city in CORPORATING America one city at a time JMADE Jennifer Wade for The University Daily Kansas Feminism needs men's contributions; both sexes benefit from equality A common bumper sticker I see around Lawrence says, "Feminism is the radical notion that women are people." Scary idea isn't it? Historically, the United States has not treated women as people. Women were not given the right to vote until the 1900s. Men who beat their wives were seen as "taking care of business" not committing a crime. Influential thinkers like Sigmund Freud viewed women as abnormal and inferior men. Thanks to the work of feminists, these ideas and legal barriers are slowly changing. At first glance, it would seem that feminism has been incredibly beneficial to women but has nothing to do with men. COMMENTARY Despite what some might think, feminism is not inherently painful to men. In her book Feminism is for Everybody, bell hooks defines feminism as "a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression." Feminists aren't, by definition, manhating lesbians like some would like you to believe. Men can be feminists,enjoy it,and even benefit from it as long as they commit to working to end sexism,sexist exploitation, and oppression. Feminism encourages all people including men, to work toward a more equal society, free of sexism and Travis Weller opinion@kansan.com oppression. A first step is that we, as men, have to admit that we benefit from a system that still exploits women. Men are encouraged into higher paying professions like engineering and medicine. At the University of Kansas, the School of Engineering is still staggeringly male. We are more likely to speak in a group setting and our opinions are more likely to be taken seriously when we do. We earn more for doing the same job that women do. In 2002, women earned 76 cents for every dollar that a man made. We are encouraged into leadership positions more often than women. Clearly, other factors like our race, class, ability level, and sexual orientation (among others) can change the amount of advantage we gain by being male, but as men, we are advantaged. At this point, you are probably asking, "OK, feminism sounds cool. I know that women are oppressed but, as a man, I benefit from this system, why should I care about changing it? What can a more equal society do for me?" First, I think it is important to remember that all people should work to the exploitation of others. No one is truly free until we are all free. Exploitation and oppression, whether it is based on sex or race or sexual orientation or another factor, is never acceptable. It is the responsibility of white people to help to end racism, it is the responsibility of straight people to help to end heterosexism, and it is the responsibility of men to help to end sexism. It is ridiculous for those who are privileged people in society to say to those who are disadvantaged, "Hey you should do something to end your oppression." With an advantaged status, and all the benefits that we gain from being male, it is our responsibility to do what we can to end the exploitation of women, those who don't have these benefits. Also, in a more equal society, relationships between men and women are healthier. When people are viewed as equals, more complete relationships can form between them. Each person's thoughts and opinions deserve equal consideration in relationships, whether it's a friendship, a professional relationship, or something more romantic. When we ignore or dismiss the thoughts and ideas of an entire group of people, we not only trample on the human rights of that group, but we also miss out on important opportunities for progress in our own lives. It might be easier to be dismissive of the thoughts of an entire sex but it is ultimately incomplete, irrational, and ineffective. An added benefit of a more society is better sex. When women are men are equals in an intimate relationship, both can take the initiative and feel comfortable trying new things. Feminism can result in better relationships both inside and outside of the bedroom. There are many ways for men at the University to get involved in the feminist movement. Men can take a women's studies class or check out feminist literature at Watson Library. Men can volunteer at the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center in Strong Hall. Men are welcome to join campus feminist organizations like the Womyn's Empowerment Action Coalition or the Commission on the Status of Women. Feminism has gotten a bad rap. The fword may be intimidating, but ultimately, it offers benefits to all people. Weller is a Garden City senior in sociology perspective Look at Women of KU modeling opportunity as a stepping-stone on path to better self-image Not many of us have come to terms with the fact that our bodies are all differently shaped, or that we may never reach perfection. Even me, a Women of KU calendar model. Many of us in the Women of KU calendar distinguish the opportunity as a stepping-stone to allow ourselves freedom to be sexual and feminine. Each one of us brings a different shape, aspiration or upbringing to the calendar. But to pose for the calendar, we first had to be comfortable in our own skin. It's the inner confidence and the awareness of our bodies that brings us all together and separates us from others. COMMENTARY 1 Denise Spidle, Hesston sophomore and 2003 Women of KU calendar model explained how posing for the calendar changed her. "It was not that I looked at my body any differently, but I would see my flaws, and I had learned to accept them," she said. Epilepsy also participates in student ministry at her church. She wants Jaqueline LeSage opinion@kansan.com women to look at the calendar and know that we should not only strive to be smart and accomplished, but also learn to take care of our bodies and be proud of them, she said. My decision to be a part of the calendar was never based on one reason in particular. I felt almost a sense of freedom and awareness about my body as I entered my sophomore year at KU. I began to realize that I must accept the things I cannot change, and celebrate them. As a child, I was told to feel lucky for who I was, where I was, and how far I got in life. Not until my sophonore year did I take that advice and run with it. I guess you can say that posing in a swimsuit for a world-renowned photographer may have been a bit of a leap, but it just so happened to do the trick. For each woman, posing for a calendar will be different. But there is going to be a time in our lives when we must step outside of our comfort zones. Even someone who is comfortable in front of a camera found posing for the calendar boosted her self-esteem. For Trinity Wright, Shawnee sophomore,posing was no problem. She is Miss United States Teen and 2004 calendar girl). She said that her Women of KU career so far has made her more aware of her body, and that she is no longer afraid to look sexy. Even after participating in pageants since she was four years old, she said that this was different because she realized how much her body had grown into womanhood. Thus, making her proud to look the way she does. Let the Women of KU calendar be a stepping-stone for you as well. Know that each dimple or roll is OK to accept. Know that walking around in the nude on in your skivvies is liberating and sexy. Become aware of your body, because it's the only one you've got, and being too hard on it is only going to make it less appealing. Remember, this is a college calendar. All of the models are here for an education first. The other women in the calendar, as well as myself, all have aspirations for their career just as any other college student would. As we near the releasing of the fifth anniversary edition, the Women of KU calendar still reigns as one of the top and longest-running university calendars in the nation. It continues to show us that real women have curves, and are happy to embrace them, which is truly a rare gift.

LaPourchea went home for the first time since school began. Freshman forgets college pressures during first trip home of semester By Johanna M. Maska jmaska@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Editors Note: This is the second in an occasional series about La'Pourchea McConico, a freshman at KU. Kansan staff writer Johanna Maska is checking in with her throughout her first semester at the University. Time apart is sealed with a kiss. Ashley McConico plants one on her sister's cheek. She hasn't seen her older sister for four weeks. Her sister, La'Pourchea McConico, is returning home to Bonner Springs for the first time since she left for the University of Kansas in August. La'Pourchea's mom comes on Things haven't changed much. Outside her family's country cottage, her dog welcomes her with a wag of the tail. Zelda is frozen on the TV screen momentarily for her 14-year-old brother, Josh, to give her a wave. to give her a hug. She says she misses her daughter, especially in church. It's been hectic few weeks for La'Pourchea. She's starting to settle into classes, hanging out with a new group of friends and switched roommates. This past week has been particularly trying: La'Pourchea is a resident of Oliver Hall, where Thursday night's tragic death has made things tense. "It's brought us a lot closer together," she says. "We've realized how precious life is." Coming home is a welcome relief. Her mom says when McConico lived at home, she was already responsible. She washed the dishes, played the piano at church and kept to her studies while playing sports. when paying La Pourchea says her mom doesn't need to worry. She's staying true to her values. As she looks through the recipe books for an almond chicken recipe, she tells her mom that she's cooking dinner for new friends. She says she's been going out to eat on occasion and that in general, it's been fun. La'Pourchea tells her mom she is going to a Baptist church in Lawrence. And she's trying to balance her work and school. College has been fun, but La'Pourchea says she is happy to have a room of her own. Despite little brother Josh camping out in her room, her old stuff is still in place. La'Pourchea has two birds, and since she's left, Ashley and Josh have taken over watering and feeding them. La'Pourchea is coming home this weekend because money is tight. She wants to do laundry, have her mom do her hair, and pick up some food. Doing her hair is a long process. During six hours of chemical treatments, her mom relaxes her hair to straighten her curls. It's a long wait, but the going rate for her mom's treatment — free — is much better than the price at a Lawrence salon. La'Pourchea is trying to cut costs by rounding up essentials from home so she can go out. Unlike her friends in Bonner Springs, La'Pourchea's group of friends at school is made up of mostly African Americans. Looking through La'Pourchea's high school yearbook, it's clear that none of the McConico children have been the majority in the past. So coming to KU has given La'Pourchea a chance to meet more people like her. But she's still happy to be home. "I miss the little inside jokes and hanging out with my sister," LaPourche says. Home is still sweet for La'Pourchea. Some comfort, family and free amenities are giving her a boost, even as the weight of school is starting to set in. "I'm starting to lose focus,"she says. "Sometimes you just have to take a minute to regain your focus." —Edited by Joey Berlin Topeka student adjusts to leaving home, family for first time SHEYLAND Z. Gordon Straus/Kansan Upon her arrival at the University of Kansas, Becky Burns, Topeka freshman, was intimidated by the size of some of her classes. The first member of her family to attend college, Burns was unsure of whether she wanted to stay in Lawrence. By Zack Hemenway zhemenway@kansan.com Kansan staff writer It's one of the first things freshmen hear from their Resident Assistants: everyone gets home-sick at some point But Becky Burns didn't know it would come so soon. Faces in the Crowd On her second day at the University of Kansas, the Topeka freshman had enough of big classes and new faces. She called her mother and said she wanted to come home. Her mother listened to Burns' complaints and replied with a classic parental maneuver, reverse psychology. reverse psychology "Pack your bags," she said. "If you want to give up, go ahead." If Burns' mother knew exactly what to say to her daughter, it was because she'd had plenty of experience to draw from. Burns talks to her mother five times each day and goes home every week and things. "Talking to her always makes me feel better about whatever's bothering me," she said. bothering me. Barnes also phones her older sister daily. This network of familial support could be because Burns is the self-proclaimed "baby of the family." But there's another reason for her family's concern. Burns is the first member of her family to attend college. Barnes said the deferred dreams of her family members sometimes fell on her shoulders. "It's kind of like I'm going to school for all of them," she said. "They tell me what they wanted to do, and they can do that through me." Burns said that these sentiments usually had a positive influence on her and helped her stay focused on doing well to make her mother and sister happy. But being first can also lead to loneliness. "I sometimes feel like if I screw up, they'll all say, 'see, I knew you couldn't do it, no one else could,'" she said. Other than that second dav Burns has deal with the pressure well. She's intimidated by two 1,000-student classes on her schedule but has adjusted to the change. change. Burns wants to continue a lifelong love of working with kids by teaching first or second grade. She spends 15-20 hours a week working at Burt Creek Morning Center, a local day-care. Burns helps toddlers with art and playtime, all the while "making sure they don't kill each other." Burns hated the University at first, but is sticking with it. She's got four years, and countless phone calls to mom, to see how it turns out. —Edited by Shane Mettlen MORE MORE MORE MORE MINUTES MORE FEATURES MORE SERVICE WOW!

The University of Kansas, along with Midwest state health agencies, held a three-day conference from Thursday to Saturday to discuss treatment and prevention of obesity. "We wanted to do the workshop to educate people," Kim Johnson, conference coordinator, said. The goal of the conference was to reduce the need for treatment of health problems associated with obesity, Johnson said. The conference, held in Overland Park, featured speakers on topics such as diabetes, weight loss, calcium, behavior and promoting physical activity. Speakers discussed the effects of obesity and how it could be treated along with ways to prevent the problem. Michael Zemel, director for the Nutrition Institute at the University of Tennessee, spoke about how calcium could aid weight loss and maintenance. Zemel said calcium worked "It's been very fascinating. I'm going to leave with more questions than I came in with, but that's OK." elementary physical education teacher Julie Webb with hormones to affect fat cells. Zemel said that while dieting, many people gave up dairy products, but that three daily servings of milk, yogurt or cheese had been shown to help burn fat. Zemel said that calcium, because it worked to regulate hormones, could also help prevent chronic diseases such as premenstrual syndrome or cardiovascular disease. John Jakicic, director for the physical activity and weight management research center at the University of Pittsburgh, discussed the behaviors that helped people exercise to lose and maintain their weight. Jakicic said research was being done to determine how much work needed to be done to lose or maintain weight. "People want to know what's the least I can get away with," Jakicic said. Jakicic has found that college students need about 30 to 60 minutes of activity a day. To lose weight, Jakicik suggested reducing the amount of calories eaten by 25 to 30 percent and exercising for 30 to 40 minutes five days a week. Adding exercise can be as simple as walking to class instead of taking the bus or incorporating an activity into time spent with friends, Jakicic said. Julie Webb, an elementary physical education teacher in Olathe, went to the conference to learn more about exercise and how it helps with weight loss and maintenance. "It's been very fascinating," Webb said. "I'm going to leave with more questions than I came in with, but that's OK." Amnesty supports Peltier; Student Senate does not —Edited by Doyle Murphy By Paul Kramer pkramer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Amnesty International and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, among others, formally support Native American activist Leonard Peltier, but the University of Kansas Student Senate does not. A resolution in support of Peltier failed in the Student Rights Committee meeting Wednesday night "I did not feel that sufficient reasons were given," Arthur Jones, Freshman/Sophomore College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator said. "There was a statement given that was biased and I didn't want to put the Senate behind something I didn't know enough about." Also against the resolution was Steven Munch, Freshman/Sophomore CLAS senator. "I was not necessarily against the resolution, but I didn't do any research and didn't feel comfortable making the decision," Munch said. Travis Weller, Student Rights Committee member and The University Daily Kansan columnist, did not think the lack of information warranted the resolution's failure. "If people didn't feel they had enough information, we should have tabled the bill and they should have asked for more information, or done the research on their own," he said. Weller said voting against the resolution was a statement against the cause, not something to do if a voter was ill-informed. Peltier was convicted in the deaths of three men, two of whom were FBI agents. Peltier, who suffers from diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition, has been imprisoned for 27 years. The controversy in the case revolves around documents that Peltier supporters said were being withheld by the United States government. The resolution was also slated to be heard by the University Affairs Committee, but was not heard after first failing at the Student Rights Committee meeting. Edited by Ashley Marriott news 'Man in Black' dies at age 71 from diabetes NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Johnny Cash's rugged voice championed the downtrodden and reached across generations. His legacy will survive as long as there's music, says his friend and fellow country music singer Glen Campbell. "I don't see any stars on the horizon that are like Johnny Cash," Campbell said. "He was so unique. I miss him." Cash, "The Man in Black," died Friday from diabetes that resulted in respiratory failure. Cash had been released from me hospital Tuesday after a two-week stay for treatment of an unspecified stomach allure. The illness caused him to miss last month's MTV awards, where his Hurt—a cover of Trent Reznor's song with Nine Inch Nails—won for cinematography. Cash, who won 11 Grammy Awards, was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1980 and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. Ritter, famous for sitcoms, dies on ABC set at 54 LOS ANGELES — John Ritter's ability to coax big laughs out of sitcom prattfalls and punchlines inspired his colleagues. "I learned so much from him. ... He was the best physical comic I've ever watched," actress Suzanne Somers, who costarred with Ritter in Three's Company, said Friday. "All my physical comedy in 'Freaky Friday' is due to him," said actress Jamie Leart Cursis. Ritter, 54, became ill Thursday while working on his ABC series 8 Simple Rules ...

Jennifer, Ben may be splitsville on big day LOS ANGELES — Have they gone from Bennifer back to Ben and Jennifer? The most overexposed couple on the planet was supposed to exchange wedding vows yesterday, but instead there was a report that they had ended their tabloid- chronicle storybook romance. Amid the frantic speculation surrounding the pair last week, People magazine reported yesterday that Affleck has dumped Lopez due to "second thoughts" about their impending wedding. Citing unidentified "sources close to the couple," People reported that Affleck initiated the breakup with Lopez, who was "devastated" and "in tears." However, the magazine hedged its scoop by adding "it was unclear whether the separation was permanent." The Associated Press kansan.com Buffet Every Day! 11-2 & 5-9 Pizza, Pasta, Dessert and Salad!

"I think it's really to get them off in the right direction," said Richard Friesner, Albuquerque, N.M., senior. "So their perception isn't that it's just a social thing." The idea for Greek Orientation began at an alcohol summit last semester, Friesner said, Interfraternity Council vice president of educational programs and scholarships. Members of the greek community gathered there to brainstorm ideas for promoting alcohol-free activities. The group decided promoting values was the best way to decrease alcohol use and developed the orientation to teach those values. Angie Carr, coordinator for Fraternity and Sorority Life, began the day by addressing new members. Kristin Conklin, Hutchinson freshman, said Carr gave freshmen tips for integrating life in a sorority or fraternity with college. She said Carr recommended getting involved with people and organizations outside the greek community and suggested study tips. The rest of the day was spent mostly in group-building activities. Participants met and played games with members outside their own chapters. Maggie Bash, Prairie Village junior and orientation facilitator, said it was a good way to get people to feel like more of a part of the greek system, rather than just a chapter. Elaine Jordan, Overland Park freshman, said life had been so busy since recruitment that she had not had time to meet other members of the greek community. She said she got to catch up with women she had not seen since she met them at recruitment. For some, the day was less valuable. Dustin Volz, Dodge City freshman, said because the schedule didn't include a lunch break, he was hungry and not interested in the program. "It's a little boring," he said. "To tell the truth, I haven't learned much." Aaron Eckley, Oskaloosa, Iowa, freshman, disagreed. "I've learned a lot," he said. "I'd make our freshmen go. It's a good thing." Facilitator Julie Rogowski, Chicago senior, said she the orientation helped students adjust to the greek community, but had too much down time. She thought the information could be compacted into a couple hours. A scavenger hunt to find services on campus had been scheduled for the afternoon, but was canceled because of rain. Orientation ended with groups making banners for the House that Greeks Built through Habitat for Humanity. One of the banners would be put into the house, scheduled to begin in October, and the rest would be used in other Habitat for Humanity homes. - Edited by Neeley Spellmeier The Associated Press CANCUN, Mexico — Talks designed to change the face of farming around the world collapsed yesterday amid differences between rich and poor nations, the second failure for the World Trade Organization in four years. "It's over," said George Odon Ong'wen, a Kenyan delegate. "The differences were very wide, and it was impossible to close the gap." Developing nations saw the talks as a way to end rich countries' agricultural subsidies that make it hard for them to compete in the globally. European nations and Japan were intent on pushing new issues that many poor countries saw as a distraction. "The blame for the collapse must go to the Western countries, because they insisted on putting their issues first," said Yasphal Tondon, a delegate from Uganda. Before the talks collapsed, delegates spent yesterday debating not the key changes to farming policy that they have spent much of the conference negotiating, but instead four proposals about foreign investment and competition from the European Union and Japan. Delegates said the Europeans insisted they be granted at least one proposal. That was unacceptable to many developing nations. The failure was a major blow to the WTO. In 1999, talks in Seattle collapsed amid violent street protests and divisions between rich and poor nations. Delegates had hoped to slash the subsidies rich nations pay their farmers and lower the tariffs many countries charge for importing farm goods. Community Drop In Center provides shelter for Lawrence's homeless citizens By Joe Hartigan jhartigan@kansan.com Kansan staff writer It was 3:30 in the morning, and Erin Wessling and her roommates were cleaning their house in the Oread neighborhood after an after-hours party. A man walked in wanting to use their bathroom and asked for money. The man was homeless, and was perhaps looking for a party, a place to sleep or maybe just a way to get off the streets for a minute. Wessling lives near the Community Drop In Center, 214 W. 10th St. She said sometimes during parties homeless people will wander over and join in. "Itputs you off-guard a little bit," Wessling, Denver senior, said. "You don't know who these people are." "I don't feel in harm's way by any'means," Wessling said. "Sometimes you get those crawlers, though." The Community Drop In Center gives homeless citizens the opportunity to eat, shower, read, receive mail, use a computer or nap between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and noon Monday through Friday. Tami Clark, coordinator of the Drop In Center, said that though some believed Oread neighborhood's shelters, like the Drop In Center, Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen and the soon-to-open Lawrence Open Shelter attracted homeless people to the area, it was actually the homeless in the area who attracted the shelters. "KU and downtown Lawrence are great attractors for the homeless," Clark said. "Whether the shelters are here or not, the homeless are going to be here." Cindy Nau, Neighborhood Programs Specialist for the city of Lawrence, said the city did "KU and downtown Lawrence are great attractors for the homeless." Tami Clark coordinator of the Drop in Center receive complaints about homeless people, but that most of the time they came from Lawrence residents and not University of Kansas students. "Oread neighborhood residents tend to complain," Nau said. "They find people in their front yard, using their hose or sleeping on their porch." Both Clark and Nau said some Lawrence residents had misconceptions about the homeless. "It's obvious walking down the street," Clark said. "People don't even look at them, they don't say "Hi.' They'll change to the other side of the street if possible." Nau said Lawrence residents didn't always understand homeless people. "In conversations with people who work with them, the general consensus is that they've fallen on hard times," Nau said. A survey conducted by the Neighborhood Resources Department of Lawrence in Dec. 2001 showed there were 134 homeless people in Lawrence. Nau felt that number was low, and said the surveys did not reach those living near Clinton Lake. The Neighborhood Resources Department will survey the homeless again this winter to find out, among other things, exactly how many homeless people live in Lawrence. Nau said she expected that number to be between 160 and 175. and The C Edited by Joey Berlin He's against consumerism, capitalism, and social inequities at all levels... He's running for president..

Then, just two plays later. Cowboys receiver Josh Barge muffed an Ansel punt with Jayhawks swarming all over. Wyoming was able to recover, and capitalized with an eight-yard touchdown run by Bouknight. consecutive completed pass attempts, and his second touchdown pass to McGuffey brought the Cowboys to within 14 points with just under five minutes left. Bramlet strung together 18 Wyoming then recovered an onside kick off of Gordon's hands, and drove down for yet another touchdown, this time on a 32-yard pass to Bouknight. Gordon redeemed himself by recovering the next onside kick attempt, and sealing Kansas' second victory of the year, and its first victory on the road. The victory against Wyoming, paired with last Saturday's triumph over UNLV, makes Kansas 14-6-1 all-time against opponents from the Mountain West Conference. "You look at a couple of plays, couple penalties, and we do run away with it," coach Mark Mangino said. "We left Wyoming hanging around, and our team has to mature."

Francis said he attributed the success to the hard work of the freshmen, as well as key play and leadership by Maggie Mason, Elmira, Ontario, senior, and Stacy Leeper, Overland Park junior. Francis said he was also happy with the way the forwards were playing. He said Central Florida changed its lineup by moving its best player, Joanna Black, to defend Smith, which opened up other forwards, as well as preventing Black from being an offensive threat. "Caroline has that kind of ability to draw those kind of players," Francis said. "She's getting so much attention that other people are starting to step up." Three Jayhawks received tournament honors. Smith, Gault and Amy Geha, Overland Park junior, were named to the all-tournament team voted on by coaches. Smith was also named Offensive Most Valuable Player. The Jayhawks play again at 7 p.m. Friday at San Diego and 1 p.m. Sunday at Loyola Marymount. Berroa's hits aid in Royal victory — Edited by Ashley Marriott The Associated Press DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers reached another milestone they'd rather not think about. "At this point, the losses make no difference to me," said the Tigers' Bobby Higginson, who was on the 1996 Detroit team that lost 109 games. "It's just bad. We knew it was coming. If we end at 110 or 119 losses. It's a lot of losses, either way. It been a miserable year." Detroit (38-110) has the most losses since the Montreal Expos and San Diego Padres each went 52-110 in 1969, their first seasons in the major leagues. The Tigers became the first team in 34 years to lose 110 games in one season as Kansas City beat Detroit 7-2 yesterday. Jimmy Gobble (4-4) allowed both runs and five hits in seven innings for Kansas City, which remained 31/2 games behind Chicago and Minnesota, the AL Central co-leaders Jeremy Affeldt finished with hitless relief. "Today he looked more like a major league pitcher," Royals manager Tony Pena said. "Basically, he pitched out of the fastball. I was very impressed." Angel Berroa went 3-for-5 for the second consecutive game since moving to the leadoff spot. Nate Robertson (1-1) gave up six runs, seven hits and four walks in 21-3 innings. Rondell White hit a solo homer in the five-run third, and Berroa hit a two-run single off reliever Brian Schmack. Another run scored when center fielder Andres Torres' throw was wild for an error, and Carlos Beltran hit a sacrifice fly. Joe Randa's RBI single put Kansas City ahead in the first and Berroa, who had three hits, had an RBI single in the second. A. J. Hinch had an RBI single in the fifth, and Torres hit his first major league homer in the sixth. Chiefs recover from first-quarter blunder to win The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The stumbling, bumbling Kansas City Chiefs could do nothing right. Then Dante Hall uncorked a 100-yard kickoff return which an official mistakenly tried to nullify $ \rightarrow $ and the Chiefs could hardly do wrong, rolling to a 41-20 victory yesterday over Pittsburgh. Priest Holmes, showing again that offseason surgery did nothing to slow the NFL's 2002 Offensive Player of the Year, rushed for 122 yards and three touchdowns as the Chiefs (2-0) scored on offense, defense and special teams. "Dante's return was the biggest play of the game for us," said guard Brian Waters. "When that play happened it just turned the whole game around." Hall's return, the longest for the Chiefs in almost 36 years, came immediately after the Steeleers (1-1) had taken a 10-0 first-quarter lead. Hall fielded Jeff Reed's kickoff at the goal line, cut left and sped virtually untouched up the sideline. Reed, the last Steeler between him and the end zone, flicked out his foot in an obvious attempt to trip Hall, who stumbled, regained his balance and kept going to score. KC A yellow flag flew, and referee Larry Nemmers brought a groan from the crowd when he announced the touchdown was nullified by a tripping penalty against Kansas City. But as the Chiefs screamed in disbelief, Nemmers huddled with other officials and reversed himself, giving Hall his fourth touchdown return in less than two years. "I wasn't worried, because I knew the guy tried to trip me and they would get together and get it right," said Hall, who had a 45-yard punt return in the fourth quarter that led to Holmes' 4-yard TD run and a 34-20 lead. The Chiefs' revamped defense recovered a fumble and intercepted three passes from Tommy Maddox, who'd been nearly flawless the week before against Baltimore. That's not the way things started. The first six times the Chiefs touched the ball, they had two penalties, 4 yards rushing, one incompletion and allowed a Pittsburgh touchdown on Chad Scott's 26-yard interception return against Trent Green. "Everything that we'd done offensively and defensively to that point, that one play took it out," said Pittsburgh coach Bill Cowher. "It was one of the biggest plays of the game, because it got them right back in it." A few minutes after Scott's TD, Maddox hit Hines Ward for a 50-yard gain to the Kansas City 7 that set up Reed's 20-yard field goal. After Hall's return, the Steelers went up 17-7 when Maddox, following James Farrior's interception, connected with Plaxico Burress on a 33-yard TD strike. Then, it was all Kansas City. "We came back from some real adversity against a real good football team," said Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil. "No one's going to put us on top, but I think we took a giant step today." kansas city 9555 Nall Ave Overland Park kansas city 9555·Nall Ave Overland Park BACK TO SCHOOL 4% INTEREST no payments for 90 DAYS BUNDLE OF FUN with the purchase of an ET2 or ET4, top case & helmet.

Kansas State's Matthew Chesang edged out his brother, Kansas' Benson Chesang for the title of individual champion at the Kansas State Wildcat Invitational on Saturday. Matthew won the four-mile race and set a new course record with a time of 20:19.30. Benson, Ravine, Kenya, freshman, finished in 20:19.40, one one-hundredth of a second behind him. "Man, it was nice racing against my brother today," Benson said. "It felt really good to have him at my side." Matthew said the KU/K-State rivalry made racing his brother bittersweet. Contributed Photo by David E. Pfeufter "He's my brother, but then again, he's my opponent," he said. Despite not taking the individual title, Benson paced the Jayhawks past the other five schools to a team championship, beating out Kansas State 27 to 49. Chris Jones, third overall; Cameron Schweir, sixth; Dan Ferguson, seventh; and Brian Raggett, ninth, rounded out the rest of the team's score.

"I'm pretty satisfied with the race," Higgins said. "Even if we didn't beat them (K-State), we're missing some of our strongest runners, I think that was a huge factor."

After losing a five game match to Arkansas (6-4) in its opening match, Kansas came back with a 3-0 drubbing of Creighton. The team still had the opportunity to take the tournament by defeating North Carolina. But another close, fifth game loss prevented that from happening. Coach Ray Bechard was disappointed with the loss, but was glad to see the team fight back from down 2-0. "I told them whatever we did in games three, four and five, we need to capture that and remember it," he said. In the Arkansas match the team fell behind 2-1, before winning game four, and forcing a final game five. Even a career-high 27 kills by Jana Correa couldn't prevent the loss, as Kansas fell 15-10. On Saturday, the Jayhawks defeated Creighton (2-7), 30-20, 30-18 and 30-21, shutting out the Blue Jays. Ashley Michaels stepped up for the Jayhawks in the match. The junior middle blocker had 13 kills and a .571 hitting percentage. The Horejsi Family Athletics Center was packed with 925 fans for the championship match against North Carolina (6-2). KU started slow, falling behind 2-0. After two straight wins in games three and four, the Jayhawks had the crowd behind them heading into the final game of the match. North Carolina coach Joe Sagula said he didn't know what to expect in game five. "I was a little worried," he said. "And then we made a run there, and that was the difference." The 6-0 run Sagula was referring to turned a 10-6 Kansas lead, into a 12-10 Jayhawk deficit. After trading leads four times, North Carolina finally put KU away 21-19, in a game that is only played to 15, in a 'win by two' format. "We came up a little bit short, but I can't remember a more exciting match ever in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center," said Bechard. The Jayhawks finished 1-2 in the tournament, and Michaels and Correa both were voted to the All-tournament team. was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. "We're always supporting each other," she said. "And I think that's helped a lot." North Carolina's Molly Pyles Middle blocker Josi Lima, who had 33 kills in the tournament, said despite the losses, the team staved positive. The Jayhawks are 7-3 in their non-conference schedule, with only the University of Missouri-Kansas City left. They will travel to Manhattan on Wednesday for their Big 12 Conference season opener against Kansas State. — Edited by Ashley Marriott One kicks Greene in Kick the Kansan Well, things are finally looking up for yours truly here after week three of the Kick the Kansan contest. A record of 10-2 this weekend kept me from getting kicked by everyone except for one lone contestant — Kristin Luehrs, O'Fallon, Mo., sophomore. The only place our picks differed was the Colorado vs. Washington State contest. I said in Friday's picks segment that this was the hardest game of the weekend Well, almost no one. to pick, and next to no one expected the Buffaloes to get wiped like they did on their home turf. PENN STATE UNIVERSITY "Colorado Luehrs sucks," Luehrs said, explaining why she picked the Cougars. losing to a female, largely because her boyfriend helped her with the picks. However, it was also her boyfriend's fault that she did not finish 12-0 instead of 11-1. The boyfriend, an Arkansas fan, picked against the Razorbacks in their upset victory over Texas. Now I can take some solace in Luehrs has guaranteed a 12-0 finish next weekend. Yeah, we'll see about that one. The teams I picked were finally able to help me out in late game situations this week. Both Ohio State and Florida State were able to stave off late-game scares to hold on for victories. Also, after a 42-35 victory over Wyoming on the road, it may get harder for University of Kansas students to pick against the Jayhawks from here on out. Maybe the victory will even change the mind of our dean of students, Richard Johnson, who boldly took the Cowboys.

PAGE 9A sports commentary 12A Monday, September 15,2003 Shane Mettlen smetten@hansan.com Underdogs upset ranks fans factor meaning Last week Kansas blew out UNLV. This week UNLV pounded nationally ranked Wisconsin. Yet Ohio's Miami University easily handled Northwestern, who defeated the layhawks two weeks ago. the jayhawks two weeks ago. Ah, but don't forget that UNLV defeated Toledo, who defeated Marshall, who almost defeated Tennessee. who almost defeated Tennessee. On the other hand, Purdue defeated Wake Forest, who defeated North Carolina State, who went to triple overtime with Ohio State. But the Boilermakers lost to Bowling Green, who destroyed Kansas last year. Kansas last year. What does it all mean? Not a heck of a lot. All it does is give college football fans a lot to talk about while waiting for next week's games. But all the talk in the world doesn't make a difference when two teams step onto the field. The only thing we now know about the Kansas football team that we didn't know a week ago at this time is its 2-1 record. But that doesn't keep fans from comparing scores and speculating about just how good Kansas is. "Comparative scores are dangerous territory," coach Mark Mangino said after the Jayhawks defeated Wyoming Saturday. Saturday. If rebuilding a program wasn't difficult enough, all of the sudden, fans have high expectations. arously, Kansas must go again. But you know, these are the same fans who just two weeks ago wondered if the 'Hawks would win two games all year. And they are the same fans who will turn on the team as soon as it loses a couple of games in row. expectations. Fans are like that. They see UNLV go to Madison, Wisc., one of the toughest places in the country to play, and defeat a top 15 team 23-5. They assume that, vicariously, Kansas must be good. KANSAS Fans tend to ignore the fact that Wisconsin turned the ball over five times and lost their starting tailback to injury in the first quarter. They gloss over the Northwestern score and point to the UNLV score as proof their Jayhawks are for real. UNLV's victory doesn't mean Kansas will now beat Missouri, Nebraska, or anyone else, despite what the fans at parties and bars or on the Internet were saying Saturday night. The truth is UNLV defeating Wisconsin means about as much to the Kansas program as J.Lo and Ben splitting up. The Rebels upset of the Badgers was just that, an upset, and upsets happen. After all, when Kansas defeated a good Texas Tech team two years ago, it didn't make anyone shake with fear when they saw that lowly Jayhawk team on their schedule. Kansas punter Nick Reid ran upfield on fake punt play for a first down in the first quarter of Kansas' 42-35 victory over Wyoming at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie, Wyo. ing Saturday night. Mangino is smarter than that. He's only cautiously optimistic. "I don't know if it says anything but, I like to look at the bright side of it," he said. "Maybe it does say something." Validity is something Kansas will have to earn itself by consistently playing well. If this team does that, then it will earn a big win of its own. said. Maybe he didn't say. What it says is that Kansas earned a nice victory last week. It's something they can look to for confidence in weeks to come, but it's not a stamp of validity. Jayhawks win on road Mettlon is a Lucas senior in journalism By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sports writer LARAMIE, Wyo. — Usually when a quarterback throws for 269 yards on just 12 completions, the numbers have been compiled on a PlayStation 2. In this case, it marked the second consecutive big game for Kansas quarterback Bill Whittemore. Whittemore, for the second straight week, threw for more than 250 yards, and became the first Kansas quarterback to throw four touchdown passes in a game since Matt Johner in 1996. Whittemore paced a high-powered offensive attack that sparked the Jayhawks to a 42-35 victory over the Wyoming Cowboys. Even though they go home with a victory, the Jayhawks will work to correct the things that caused their near-fata second half collapse. second half collapse. "We're gonna learn from this," Whitemore said. "We lost the second half." Earlier in the week, the forecast in Laramie had called for temperatures in the 40s and rain. When the Jayhawks arrived at War Memorial Stadium Saturday morning, the crisp 48-degree weather was accompanied with nothing but sun. Both teams expected a shootout, and that is just what they got. The two teams swapped early touchdowns, with Kansas scoring on a six-yard Whittimore toss to junior fullback Austine Nwabuisi, and Wyoming scoring on a 33-yard connection from senior quarterback Casey Bramlet to senior receiver Ryan McGuffey. receiver. Rather, he received later in the first quarter Wyoming was granted a questionable first down on a third-and-four scramble by Bramlet. The lavwhaws made him pay three plays later. Sophomore linebacker Brandon Perkins rocked Bramel with a blind-side blitz, jarring the ball loose. Senior defensive end David McMillan scooped up the loose ball and rumbled 53 yards for his second defensive score in three games this season. The sack was the first of the year for the Jayhawks. of the year for the jenna. McMillan said after looking at the referee briefly to make sure it was in fact a fumble, he had no instinct to just fall on the ball and put the offense to work. "Let's glove it and run with it," McMillan said. "That's how I do it." After Bramlet hit receiver McGuffey for 13 yards on a third-and-11, he found sophomore receiver Jovon Bouknight for a 47-yard score on the next play. On the ensuing drive, the Jayhawks were again haunted by a familiar foe defending third-and-long situations. After the Cowboys' third offensive possession, the Jayhawk defense tightened up, not allowing a point for the remainder of the first half, despite losing sophomore linebacker Banks Floodman in the second quarter to injury. Perhaps the biggest contributor to the defensive efficiency was sophomore defensive end Monroe Weekley. After being demoted to second-string on the depth chart earlier in the week, Weekley registered two sacks in the first half Early in the second quarter, with the ball on their own 43-yard line, Curtis Ansel faked a punt, dumping a shovel pass to linebacker Nick Reid who took the ball 26 yards and into Wyoming territory. tory. The team was 28-14 two plays later as Whittemore found freshman receiver Charles Gordon while scrambling from the pocket for a 32-yard touchdown toss. "Worked like a charm," Reid said. "Big plays can break the game, and that one helped a lot." one helped a lot.

By Crystal Futrell correspondent@kansan.com Kansan correspondent AARON SCHLAGEL Two and a half years ago, Aaron Schungel did something that most people his age might find peculiar. He and his two younger sisters promised their parents that they would not have sex before marriage. For Schlagel, Olathe senior, this was a promise unmotivated by religious beliefs. by refuge. Instead, Schlager's choice is a personal commitment to himself and to the special gift that only he can give—his virginity. "When I get married, I want to be able to look my future wife in the eye and say that you are the one I was meant for," Schlagel said. "You're the one that I have saved myself for." It hasn't been the easiest commitment Schlagel's made. As a result of his abstinence, Schlagel has had to sacrifice some relationships. “It's hard to meet someone who has the same respect for sex as you do,” he said. But Schlagel isn't discouraged ALEXANDER or shy about his commitment to abstinence. In fact, he enjoys spreading the good news about the benefits of keeping the zipperzipped. "I'm not a preacher," he said. "Anyone can get up and say anything, but it's more important to follow your beliefs." follow you the Last year, Schlagel worked for Training Leaders for the Community, a mentor program staffed mostly by college students who visited junior-high and high school age kids to talk to them about the advantages of choosing abstinence. "The thought of not having sex never crossed their minds," Crawford said. Jon Crawford, Tulsa, Okla., senior, worked with Schlagel at TLC. The most common reaction the mentors received from the students was surprise. The mentors also talked about the consequences of having sex too soon and discussed topics like STDs, pregnancy and emotional trauma. "It's a personal decision to yourself," he said. "You have to take a step back and ask yourself why are you doing this." But Schlagel knows that abstinence isn't for everyone.

The Kansas City, Kan., senior who is pictured on the right, performed in the annual Brown Bag Drag Show put on by Queers and Allies during Gay Pride Week in April. The week is celebrated around the country. "Some people don't understand why we need a Gay Pride Week," he said. "Some may think we are flashing our sexuality in their faces, but we are just trying to celebrate who we are." Dixon has been an open homosexual since his freshman year. He said his participation in the drag show was an important part of celebrating pride. It's also important because it has been a part of the gay community forever, he said. Patrick Ross, director of Queers and Allies, played a factor in getting Dixon involved in the drag show. "I think it was exhilarating for Curtis," he said. "He had a great time, and everyone enjoyed his numbers, including me." Dixon gets into character for his drag show numbers with his personality and confidence. These two areas are examples of how to be sexy, Dixon said. Dixon's drag show performance and involvement in Queers and Allies' other activities during Gay Pride Week mean more to him than having a good time. "It's getting everyone in the community together to celebrate and become aware that we still don't have the rights we deserve," he said. "It's about tolerance and acceptance of others." "Sexy is a state of mind," he said. "Anyone can be sexy if they think they are." Dixon isn't afraid of being himself, said Christina Dick, Lawrence graduate student and friend of Dixon's, and is likeable to everyone.

Her smile is wide and bright, her skin smooth and soft. It's Jackie LeSage, Wayzata, Minn., junior and Miss August in the last installment of the Women of KU calendar. LeSage said she'd never done anything like it before. She was raised to be modest and never felt comfortable enough with her own sexuality to smile for the shutter in a swimsuit. But in late 2002, LeSage went through some changes. She was newly free from a long relationship and felt a new freedom. She was taking Dennis Dailey's "Human Sexuality in Everyday Life" course, which made her feel somewhat liberated. She tried out for the Women of KU calendar, but kept it secret. but repeats I just assumed I wouldn't make it." LeSage said. "I didn't even tell my roommates." The application process to become a calendar model incorporates modeling experience and a photo portfolio with GPA, extracurricular activities and hobbies. With applicants growing every year, the process has become very selective, in both the model's appearance and academic achievement. "The average GPA of our group is something close to 3.9," said Rob Curley, The Lawrence Journal-World online editor, who took over the calendar three years ago. "It's harder to get into the Women of KU than to get into most sororities." After she was accepted into the calendar, LeSage's life changed in certain ways. People stopped her on campus because they recognized her from the pages. The experience also changed some of her goals, and she is a columnist for The University Daily Kansan. She had gone through a transformation, an emergence. "Being a part of it is great." LeSage said. "It is the kind of thing that can change your life, for the better." Curley also thinks highly of his publication. Now the calendar is celebrating its five-year anniversary. The 2004 edition will bring back faces from past years, like LeSage, with mostly new photographs and up-to-date biographical information There are tons of these calendars across the country," Curley said. "Women of Florida State, of UCLA, but most last a year or so and go away. This is one of the longest running calendars in the country." The Women of KU calendar has been featured in Playboy, Maxim, and has seen airtime on ESPN. Shannon O'Connor, Emporia senior, is returning for her third calendar. O'Connor has taken a larger role within the calendar's selection process, helping to choose new models for the last three years. "We don't just look at a beautiful face and body," she said. "We want people who will reflect well on KU."

Sure, he's sexy. But he is 91 years old as well: the first Jayhawk mascot for the University of Kansas. Drawn in 1912 by University of Kansas student Henry Maloy, the mascot sports a pair of shoes, which are said to be for kicking opponents, according to www.kuhistory.com. Perhaps he has a tough side as well. has a tough seat in The Jayhawk has changed much in it's 91-year artistic tenure, but the 1912 Jayhawk sports the sexiest look of all, said Jacob Neece, Topeka sophomore. "I think it's those big, round eyes and that nice, full beak," Neece said. "You have to appreciate that about a Jayhawk." Not everyone agrees that this Jayhawk is the sexiest, though. "Although I haven't normally thought about our great mascot in a sexual way, I would have to state that the 1929 Jayhawk drawn by Forrest O. Calvin was the sexiest," said Mike Reid, the director of Business and Information Services for KU Memorial Unions.

DENNIS DAILEY ... By Hamy C. Jackson hjackson@kansan.com Kansan sani staff writer The door to Dennis Dailey's office is crowded with clippings he's collected in his years at the University of Kansas. Pro-safe sex comics, a handful of fortune cookie-type sayings and AIDS awareness stickers, among other things, are taped to the wooden door. It's easy to get lost in the clutter, but one phrase stands out. "Survivors Motto," it reads. "Living well is the best revenge." The statement's not a new addition. It's been on Dailey's door for nearly 30 years. Confident, gregarious and back teaching his "Human Sexuality In Everyday Life" class, Dailey is living this credo. ley's popular class. Any wear-and-tear from last year's ugly battle with Kansas Wagle isn't immediately visible. He's still lecturing in the same manner, using the same salty language and teaching aids he's always used. It's been nearly six months since Sen, Susan Wagle (R-Wichita) attached a rider to a budget bill designed to end Dailey's popular class. Dailey's unrestrained classroom manner contrasts with his silence when the Wagle affair was unfolding. Members of the University's faculty encouraged him to speak out; but Dailey refused to take the bait. Dailey's stoicism earned him respect from faculty. Ted Frederickson, professor of journalism, said he told Dailey to speak up when he was investigated last year. Dailey refused, telling Frederickson he thought commenting would give the issue more attention than it deserved. "He's someone I really admire," Frederickson said. "He's very courageous." The O'Reilly Factor, the sensational Fox News show that made Wagle's cause a national news story, hasn't mentioned the instructor it dubbed the "Perv Prof" in months. Wagle herself hasn't brought the issue back either. fight. He even expects one. Yet when asked, Dailey's adamant he's still ready for a "I'm sure something else will happen this year," Dailey said. "I'm sure of it." When he decided to make teaching sex his career, Dailey expected backlash, and his class has had its share of complaints through the years. But last year's showdown was more personal than any attack Dailey had experienced in his career. It became, Dailey said, a witch hunt. "It reminded me of McCarthyism." Dailey said. On a recent day, giving a lecture about how men and women express attraction, Dailey battled an adversary he's more familiar with than Sen. Wagle: his class getting antsy at the end of class. A din rose among the students, but Dailey continued, bellowing about the differences between men and women. Perhaps it was Dailey's confidence that guided him through last year's trouble. It's a confidence that on display in his classroom. men and women. "Men," he belted, "will yell, 'Wow, look at those bozangas.'" Giggles and uproarious laughter followed. The book-bag shuffle stopped. Dalley's won the battle for his class' collective attention. The precious last five minutes of class were his. Other lessons involve less colorful vocabulary, but almost always include a personal example from Dalley's years of experience. Even as he's taught at the University, Dalley's kept a small, private practice, counseling people about their sexuality. To explain a lesson about sex perceptions, Dailey talked about a young man who got into a car accident and lost feeling below his legs. This was to illustrate there's more to being a great lower than sex. Other days, Dailey will pepper his lectures with stories about his three grandchildren, or his own life. dren, or its own children. Dalley's show will, eventually, have a last performance, though he's postponed his bow yet again. Dalley is in the fourth year of the University's five-year retirement program. He had planned for this fall to be the last semester for "Human Sexuality in Everyday Life." The decision to keep going, he said, is at least in part because of spite — part of continuing to live well. But the end will come. There's too many other things Dailey wants to do. He already takes two days a week off to spend time with his three grandchildren. And he wants to write a book, inspired by his historical Lawrence home. More time for antique auctions, another passion, also would be nice. Dailey boasts about his collection of Jayhawk memorabilia, which he says is one of the best in town. Until then, he's content to keep teaching his 500-person class. "Some people are spooked by large classes and lots of people," he said. "That's never been me." Edited by Ashley Marriott The Jayhawk of 1929 is indeed a fierce-looking bird, with a face that radiates anger and a pose that would indicate he is stomping off somewhere. "The talons on the feet also give the Jayhawk a dangerous, dark edge that adds to the Jayhawk's mystique," Reid said. sity's presentation. Reid said the competition among other university mascots came up short. Reid is something of an expert on the Jayhawk, with his experience as bookstore manager. The bookstore owns the copyright of the 1946 Jayhawk, the University's present mascot. "I think there is no question that any version of the Jayhawk is much sexier than mascots such as the doughboy Herbie Husker or the Wildcat with a grossly oversized melon of a head," Reid said. - Edited by Ehren Meditz One can only imagine the extent of Vinnie's embarrassment after waking up hung over next to a lawn ornament. 8th & MASS DOWNTOWN 843.1099 GREAT CARDS!

Bainum is eager to return to the University of Kansas to write her sex column again. By Caithin Kirley correspondent@kansan.com Kansan correspondent Former University Daily Kansan sex columnist Meghan Bainum has a reputation few students can compete with. Bainum penned racy advice for the Kansan, spicing up its pages for three semesters beginning Fall 2001. Now, she is taking time off of school, but still lives in Lawrence and works at Beyond the Wall, 939 Massachusetts St. She plans to enroll in the spring semester in hopes of bringing back her column. "I have no regrets," she said. "Give me the chance, and I'll start writing again." Bainum's columns challenged critics and inspired the sexual awareness of her Jayhawk peers. But her story doesn't start out nearly as grandiose. "I was the most unpopular person in high school," Bainum said. A self-described outcast, she grew up in the small Kansas town of Dover. By her junior year, she decided it was time to leave. Bainum took the General Education Development test, or GED, and enrolled at the University of Kansas. A talented writer, she chose to major in journalism with special interests in politics and people. Bainum had no way of knowing that within two years she'd be overwhelmed by a blitz of both. She started working at the Kansan as an entertainment writer. Bainum decided to write an article based on fetishes and turn-ons. The amount of positive feedback was astounding, and instantly Bainum saw a new column in her future. She found an untapped resource in the University news in one of the oldest college pastimes: sex. Her advice column was featured every Thursday and rarely failed to drop jaws with such irreverent topics as genital piercing, masturbation and anal beads. "If you've been missing a spark in your sex life," Bainum wrote in "Add a little pizzaz and try bondage." Kansan, Sept. 16, 2002. "Adding a good pair of handcuffs or a spanking of two to your normal routine could be the way for you to put the sprinkles on your ice cream cone." One universal truth is sex sells. Any economies major would tell you it made sense that as the degree of Bainum's risqué and raunchy topics increased, circulation and student buzz were proportionate. She became a sexicon — willing or not. "I knew I was going to raise some eyebrows," she said. "But I didn't know people were going to flip out." Her family also was overwhelmed. "It can be embarrassing at times," said younger sister Amy. "If you've been missing a spark in your sex life, adding a good pair of handcuffs or a spanking or two to your normal routine could be the way for you to put the sprinkles on your ice cream cone." Meghan Bainum former University Daily Kansan sex columnist "But we'll always love her." Bainum got all sorts of attention, and to her surprise, not all of it was local. According to a June 14 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education, "a small but growing number of women" were authors of love and sex advice columns in college newspapers. Some of the other universities included New York University, UCLA and perhaps the most renowned, Yale. The report snowballed into a mainstream media frenzy that college girls such as Bainum were the focus of. After the storm had passed, she had been interviewed by The New York Times, Fox News, Inside Edition and Esquire. But with positive attention came the negative. Bainum received reprimands from church leaders and concerned parents alike. Both accused her of exploitation and deemed her column "unworthy of a higher education institution." But Bafnum's biggest claim to fame was when she was asked to pose for Playboy. post for "It was a dream come true," she recalled with a smile. "Very liberating." Michelle Burhenn, Kansan editor and Topeka junior, said the newspaper had gone through at least five sex columnists since Bainum's departure. Nobody's had her staying power, she said. By Nicole Madril correspondent@kansan.com Kansan correspondent Students exercise alternatives to sex — Edited by Katie Nelson A relationship before marriage is about building a foundation for the future, and sex shouldn't be a part of that, said Jessica Wayner, Topeka freshman. Wayner and Dylan Schoonover, Washburn University freshman, had math class together as seniors in high school. Eventually, the two began dating and talked about abstaining from sex early on in the relationship. Since then, it's never been an issue. "Call us old-fashioned, but we seem to be able to have a good time together without involving risky behaviors," Wayner said. The same is true for Allie Andrews, Overland Park junior, and Ben Statler, Overland Park senior. "We think it's possible to hang out and not to have sex," Statler said. Both couples rely on their faith to help keep them strong in their commitment to abstinence. Both couples are Christians and believe that sex should only be enjoyed in the sanctity of marriage. Wayner and Schoonover have been dating for ten months. Both said not having sex gets easier as they explore their new relationship. They've found alternatives to intercourse, and as an athletic pair the couple can usually be seen in Lawrence or Topeka golfing, running, or playing tennis. "I think that the focus of a relationship, especially in the beginning, should be based upon building a trusting friendship, rather than engaging in self pleasures," Wayner said. "I am constantly thinking of Schoonover agreed. ways to make her smile or make her happy, and none of them involve getting her into bed," he said. "I try to think of ways I can surprise her, something I can buy her, or a new place I can take her." Things aren't so easy for Andrews and Statler, who have been dating for four and a half years. A year into their relationship, Andrews and Statler broke up because they liked each other's bodies more than each other's personalities, Statler said, but are back together now. Both said they made out and "messed around" with each other earlier in their relationship, but don't anymore. "We can't make out anymore because it will lead to bad things." Andrews said. Though Andrews and Statler used to struggle with physical boundaries, now that they are older and have a stronger faith they have learned to deal with their physical desires. "We talk and pray together about our relationship," Statler said. "She's my best friend, and we know each other inside and out. She's a good person to go through life with." "It's hard when people assume that since we've been dating for four years, that we have sex," Andrews said. "I wish I was more comfortable telling people right off the bat that we don't have sex." Peer pressure is not an issue in Schoonover and Wayner's relationship. Wayner said she didn't feel that she was missing out on anything. But neither couple plan on being abstinent forever. "We'll get married, have jobs and maybe a few pets," Statler said. "We'll have lots of sex then."

This anomaly led to another peculiar event: Snowy Porn Night. With no activity on the icy streets and a opportunity to sleep in the next day, residents of Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall organized*a gathering. A few hours later, with bowls of popcorn in tow, a large group gathered in the recreation room to enjoy bad plot lines, poor acting, and unrealistic sexual scenarios. "We were laughing and talking pretty much the whole time. I don't know if it was to cover any awkwardness, or if it was because the movies were just so stupid," Liza Pehrson, former president of Margaret Amini, said. Snowy Porn Night is not quite the anomaly that some might guess. Gatherings for porn are not new to the scholarship halls or any housing arrangement. Margaret Amini, Stephenson and Douthart Scholarship Halls all lay claim to their own porn events or traditions. With an issue as touchy as porn, complaints about image and individual rights and can bring a potential involvement from the Department of Student Housing. But in a self-governed and independent-minded system like the scholarship halls, high-level department involvement is infrequent and draws theire of many residents. SNOWYPORN NIGHT When Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall organized Snowy Porn Night, Pehrson, 2002 hall alumna, said the idea came from another resident who had taken part in a similar event in a residence hall. Pehrson helped spread the word. Within an hour and a half, approximately 50 people from Margaret Amini and other scholarship halls gathered in the recreation room to watch two movies that one of the residents had received as a gag gift. "We weren't porn collectors," Pehrson said. "She just happened to have them and never got rid of them." Pehrson said the group talked and joked about the poor quality of the films the entire evening. Nobody complained or voiced a protest to Pehrson or the scholarship hall director. But, Pehrson instinctively knew a few girls did not approve. The scale and publicity of the event was a one-time event for the hall. TRADITION "I wouldn't have minded having Snowy Porn Night again. Although if it was something that happened regularly, I have no doubt someone would bring it up," Pehrson said. Stephenson Hall boasts a bigger tradition of porn events. Nick Ray, Burlington junior, lived in Stephenson for his first two years at the University. Ray said the hall elected a porn chairman at the first hall meeting of the year, introducing the new men into the reality of Stephenson life. The porn chairman was in charge of organizing their Wednesday porn nights. "The new guys were all pretty much thinking, alright, this is going to be an interesting year," Ray said. In Ray's two years there, porn nights did not occur regularly as in past years of the hall. "The Porn Chair was kind of lazy," Ray said. "Actually, we were all pretty lazy." Residents also download from each other's large collections of porn on the hall server network. When the occasional Wednesday night phone rolled around, residents gathered in front of the big screen television in the rec room. Ray said the porn nights were filled with comments and jokes from the audience just like Snowy Porn Night. The porn events never lent themselves to complaints or issues because of the strong relationship between residents. "Stephenson is tough love," Ray said. "It's one big locker room. But we respect big problems and when things really matter. We turn our music down for each other." "We were laughing and talking pretty much the whole time. I don't know if it was to cover any awkwardness, or if it was because the movies were just so stupid." Douthart Hall's Porn Tuesdays began in the Fall of 2002. The event started almost by accident. A few residents surfing PORN TUESDAY Liza Penson Liza president of Margaret Amiini Scholarship Hall Liza Pehrson online one Tuesday night began joking about a Web site called "Amateur Straight Guys." "We ended up having fun that one night, so we wanted to continue doing it," said Stephanie Lovett, Douthart resident and programming chair. "It's not like anyone had an agenda." The group residents decided to make a tradition of it, calling it Porn Tuesday. It quickly became one of the hall's most popular events. Residents from other scholarship halls and students outside the scholarship hall system frequently attended. The event usually lasted approximately a half hour. "It was sort of like stopping to watch a television show," Lovett said. Lovett often made the weekly announcements that went out on the hall's e-mail list-serve, on each floor's whiteboard and at hall meetings. came with each week ranging from cartoon to aquatic porn. The room responsible for hosting Porn Tuesday was responsible for screening the porn to make sure nothing objectionable occurred. Every Tuesday night a willing room of residents hosted the event as a study break. Most of the material was computer-based, and a different theme Lovett said Porn Tuesday existed as a reason to hang out and laugh. It wasn't a hedonistic gathering just to watch anything they could find. "As a hall full of girls, do you think we would have sat around and laughed at women being objectified?" Lovett said. "There's a lot of nasty stuff out there, but we weren't watching that." This year, Lovett said, Porn Tuesday had not been organized by any of the residents, but there was interest. CONFLICT RESOLUTION Porn Tuesday incited much more conflict than porn events in Stephenson and Margaret Amiini. Gina Lopez, Douthart scholarship hall director, said some residents felt uncomfortable being officially associated with the event. "They felt it was giving outsiders an inaccurate understanding of what activities were acceptable to all our residents," she said. Lopez also said a few residents also held strong personal and moral objections to the event. Ken Stoner, director the housing director, said a Douthart resident moved out because of the event after the 2002 fall semester. In another occurrence in the middle of the spring semester, a few residents complained directly to department officials. Douthart held a hall meeting to discuss the issue and reach a solution. The question of department intervention arose only to decide whether the event was an official or unofficial hall event. The department becomes liable for events deemed official. "They're like any bureaucracy. They don't want their name drug through the mud." Lovett said. Lopez said either she or her superiors in the department could have forced the event to be labeled unofficial, but chose to let the community resolve it. The hall meeting resulted in several concessions. Porn Tuesday remained official, but public announcements halted. Although not previously an issue, the possibility of holding the events in public spaces was clearly eliminated as well. Lovett said the meeting allowed the controversy to become less personal. "I think a lot of people realized we weren't trying to shove it down their throats," Lovett said. STUDENT HOUSING Jennifer Wamelink, assistant director housing director, said students had a much stronger voice and internal governing system in the scholarship halls. Pehrson said if the department became involved in something like Snowy Porn Night, residents of Margaret Amini would have turned it into a big battle as a matter of principle. She said scholarship hall residents lived with a great deal of sovereignty, and often reacted negatively when their independence was seemingly threatened. Ray agreed that Stephenson residents always became a little irritable at the mention of the department. He said it was part of the scholarship hall culture, especially Stephenson's, to react to official intervention. IMAGE CONCERNS "We'd do crazy things," he said. "You're talking to a hall that asks for a fireman's pole at every year's budget meeting." Wamelink said although image was a concern, the students living in the scholarship hall system took higher priority on her list. "I'm concerned about the residents of the community, and the residents of the community feeling comfortable," Wamelink said. Stoner said the scholarship hall porn nights did not create a major image problem at the moment. University policy also held no position of direct intervention on the matter of porn. Stoner said the department's primary role was to provide the halls with feedback and information on the matter of complaints and conflict. "I'm not going to be the First Amendment police," he said. Marlesa Roney, vice provost of the Office of Student Success, acknowledged the natural human curiosity toward sex. "College is a safe environment to be away from people who would slap you on the wrists for doing things like that," Roney said. Roney said most of the image issues rested directly with the hall governments but admitted image could become a concern down the road. "If it becomes recognized as part of the culture at KU, I think it's not the thing we would want to be known for," she said. The issue of porn in the scholarship halls culminates in the question of individual rights. Residents agree comfort takes precedence over principle. Once all possible infringement on other residents disappears, supporters of porn events said they held a right to have the gatherings in privacy. For many scholarship hall residents, porn events remain a way to get together, talk and laugh. "It's a matter of respecting differences," Ray said. "We all know we're good kids." - Edited by Erin Riffey MADE IN TEXAS Grad student examines cultural lines within gay pornography industry Sam Joshi, graduate student in theater and film, showcases some of his gay pornography collection and the resulting implications of race within the genre. Jared Soarea/Kansas By Abby Mills amills@kansan.com amilss@kansan.com kansas staff writer For most, pornography is all fun and games. For Sam Joshi, it's hard work. Joshi, Bombay, India, graduate student, is writing his dissertation for the theater and film department on gay pornography. He said the cultural themes he worked with were just as worthy of study as the classics. "It's more important than studying Shakespeare," he said. "I'm finding out about white male sexuality. What could be more important than that?" Joshi's advisor agreed that his work was needed in film studies "Sam is doing very important, intellectual work at the intersection of film and LGBT studies," Catherine Preston, associate professor of theatre and film said. "It will add much to our understanding of this marginalized group's visual culture." Joshi's interest in studying male erotic videos began with the only gay pornography musical in existence, Romeo and Julian. Although all the actors were white, the film was done in South Asian style, he said. South Asia Homosexuality is not commonly accepted in Asian cultures, but Asians are not fully accepted in American gay culture either, he said. Asian Americans are either ignored in gay pornography, or treated as erotic sexual objects, he said. By casting white actors in a film with subtle South Asian flair, Joshi said, Romeo and Julian explored same sex love for South Asians. Joshi said while gay pornography helped gay men feel more comfortable with themselves, demeaning Asian men can make them feel less secure. Joshi also researched the effect of pornography on men more generally by looking at police fantasies. Many police fantasies involve a dominant-submissive model, Joshi said. After watching videos that portrayed prison rape scenes, Joshi said he wanted to find out why this type of fantasy is so pervasive in gay pornography. "In prison, when men rape each other, it has to do with the zero-sum game of masculinity," he said. "One gains masculinity at the expense of the other." This battle is inherent in American culture, he said, when males are threatened by other males and have to degrade them in order to feel more masculine. These struggles make it difficult for men to form emotional bonds with each other, he said. The relationship develops an emotional bond that is evident in the way sadomasochists have formed a close, caring community. Sadomasochistic fantasies actually allow men to form emotional relationships, he said. The dominant figure often takes the role of introducing the submissive character into manhood, Ioshi said. Charlie Santaular, Lawrence junior, said he was surprised when Joshi, a teaching assistant, told his film class of his dissertation. Studying pornography is not common. Joshi said he knew of only five other people in the world tackling the same subject. "It's something rarely done, so it could be interesting," he said. "But it's not something I would be interested in personally." Joshi said by dismissing pornography in this way, people are overlooking a valuable tool to study society. He said pornography should be treated as a cultural artifact. "It's not just sex," he said. "Nothing is just sex. It's a cultural thing." — Edited by Ashley Marriott Homemade sex tapes arousing, revolting option for erotic play By Sam Amburgey correspondent@kansan.com Kansan correspondent Hairy backs and love handles flash across the video screen. An occasional awkward stare comes from an individual who's curious as to what the red, blinking light across the room is for. This is amateur pornography. Brad Robinson, Wichita sophomore, said he liked amateur porn because the aroused individuals looked like they could be somebody's neighbors. Many couples make their own videos as a way to keep their relationship interesting. "I think it would be cool to make one just to see what the two of us look like in bed," Robinson said of himself and his girlfriend. "Amateur porn is mostly straight banging," he said. "Unlike big-time porn that is usually overproduced." Other couples may be cautious of videos because of their use as incriminating evidence. Rich said she did not see herself as a prospective participant in a sex tape, but she didn't have a "I would probably throw it away after watching it just to avoid any future problems," said Courtney Rich, Shawnee senior. "Amateur porn is mostly straight banging." problem with the form of entertainment, as long as children did not get a hold of it. Brad Robinson Wichita sophomore Misplaced tapes may keep many couples away from making their own home videos. Not helping the small industry is the urban legend where someone in a small community rents a movie from Blockbuster and accidentally puts a home sex tape in the box and returns it. Within a week, everyone in town has seen it. Although the department of theater and film isn't in the video rental business, it does receive its fair share of amateur films. But Matt Jacobson, assistant professor of film and video production, said there was nothing pornographic about them. "I've never seen anything that is too adult or sexual in nature," he said. "There was one project that contained a love scene, however it was pretty tame. Our students are pretty good about assignments, but I'm not sure about their spare time."

By Kelly Hollowell correspondent@kansan.com Kansan correspondent "Gay-U" and "K-Straight" are common nicknames at Kansas two largest schools. The reputations of the University of Kansas and Kansas State University are based on the perceived sexual orientations of each school's student body. Lawrence and the University are more liberal and accepting of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people than Manhattan and K-State, said Roy Carter. Lawrence resident and former student at both schools. the queer community. Although he said many people had this perception, few knew firsthand what the differences and similarities were between both schools regarding attitudes toward Carter attended K-State as a pre-veterinarian major during the 2000-2001 school year. He moved to Lawrence and became a KU student to pursue creative writing in fall 2001. A member of the gay community at both schools, he said he understood the differences between the two environments. Carter joined the universities' respective gay organizations. The University's Queers and Allies and K-State's Queer Straight Alliance both offer services to provide support and promote social activities. "The differences between the Q & A groups are black and white," he said. and when Seven or eight people attended each Queer Straight Alliance meeting. "K-State has just as many gay people as KU. It's just that nobody knows about it." Leigh Fine K-State Queer Straight Alliance president Carter said he thought the percentage of gay to straight people was comparable at each university, but Lawrence's campus was more open-minded. Carter said, while 50 or more people regularly attended Oueers and Allies meetings. K-State may not be at the same level now, but Leigh Fine, Queer Straight Alliance president, wants that to change soon. "K-State has just as many gay people as KU. It's just that nobody knows about it." Fine said. Fine experienced this for the first time during a freshman leadership class when the class was discussing gay and lesbian issues. Students used derogatory terms to describe their feelings about the queer community. Fine said he was uncomfortable with the situation and informed the class that he was gay. His classmates immediately apologized for their comments. "People would say to me, I don't agree with that lifestyle," he said, "but I still love you as a person." Three years later, Fine is still enlightening others at K-State with the Queer Straight Alliance. The group is working hard to promote queer visibility on campus, he said. Colt Schafer, Leavenworth sophomore, plays a role similar at the University as the Queers and Allies senator "QSA has experienced a great surge in straight membership," he said. He said that he was thankful to be here and that the University and Lawrence were a great resource because of their liberal views regarding the queer community. But Schafer is grounded in reality as well. Priest turns to God,faith to reach student body "KU has a lot of tolerance," he said. "But there is still an issue." Edited by Doyle Murphy and Erin Riffey By Kaila Williams correspondent@kansan.com Kansan correspondent The events of the day flashed through Joseph Dang Son Tung's mind once again, turning his stomach into a pool of disgust. He had been there, watching in silent horror as the priest screamed at a man to leave the church. Son Tung had said nothing as the priest told the man that he would burn in the fires of hell because he was gay. "Is this what I'm going to become?" he asked himself. "Is this why I've spent the last few years studying to become a priest? To condemn people?" "No," he said. "God called me to do a better job than this." One day, on a whim, he attended a small Catholic church in Florida where he was living at the time. Although it was a traditional Catholic mass, Son Tung immediately recognized a difference in the atmosphere of the church. It seemed more open-minded to him, and more focused on God's love instead of his wrath. "The church turned me off completely," he said. "Seeing priests take money from the church, give it to their family, give to their girlfriend, all of those things just plaved in my mind." to a better man for Son Tung spent the next few years of his life in limbo, unsure if God had called him to the Catholic faith. At one point, he completely gave up on the idea of becoming a priest. Son Tung spoke to the priest, and found the man had recently "Is this why I've spent the last few years studying to become a priest? To condemn people? No. God called me to do a better job than this." Joseph Dang Son Tung Catholic Apostolic priest left the Roman Catholic Church after 40 years of service because he disagreed with some of the intolerant views of the faith. Son Tung found what he had been searching for. He learned that the church was actually Catholic Apostolic, which had split off from the Roman Catholic Church. He inquired about becoming involved in the Church, and a few months later was ordained as a priest in the Catholic Apostolic church. "Our main goal, our mission is that we preach out to the people the true word that Jesus taught." Son Tung said. "Love your God with all your heart and all your mind, and love one another as yourself." One month after his ordination, the Son Tung arrived in Lawrence to work at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. He immediately tried to get involved in students' lives at the University of Kansas, no matter what their personal or religious beliefs were. Son Tung gained access to students through Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., and the Rev. Thad Holcombe, the ECM campus minister. While it recognizes the Bible passages denomining homosexuality, ECM welcomes everyone, regardless of sexual orientation. "We take the Bible seriously, but we don't take it literally in terms that we understand it was written in a context," Holcombe said. "One needs to understand that context to be able to understand today what it means because that is a totally different culture." Son Tung also worked with Queers and Allies to organize a non-denominational night where gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered students can come together to discuss aspects of religion. "When Father Dang came to KU, he was really excited about getting something like that going," said Sarah Burris, outreach chairwoman for Queens and Allies. won't for queues. Son Tung's arrival was not met with enthusiasm by all. Some people came to him, Bibles in hand, and tried to prove to him that acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle went against God's will. "I just shocked me," Son Tung said. "Who are you to judge these people? Pick trash out of your own eyes before you pick other people's trash." Son Tung said religions that condemned homosexuality only encouraged hate and prejudice. Jesus dined with hookers and tax collectors and never judged them, he said. "Love one another, and if you love them, you have to accept who they are and what they are," he said. — Edited by Scott Christie Joseph Dang Son Tung, a Catholic Apostolic priest for St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, worked with the Queers and Allies to help gain acceptance of alternative lifestyles. Although many have tried to persuade him otherwise, Son Tung continues to follow his faith. UNEWANT DAY THEN SEEK Homosexual portrayal generates debate on stereotypes Morgan McBee, Dallas junior, Tina Shine, Urbandale, Iowa, junior, Emilie Guenther, Overland Park junior, Jennifer Schmidt, Wichite junior, Recheal Dietze, Walnut Creek, Calif., all reacted to a man getting his eyebrows waxed on the show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. The five said they regularly watch the show at their Delta Gamma sorority house, and sometimes sip Sprite out of martini glasses, mimicking the last part of the show. By Amanda Kim Stairrett astairrett@kansan.com astairnan staff writer At 9 .m. every Tuesday, Emilie Guenther and four of her sorority sisters gather around the television for a weekly ritual. The five Delta Gammas love to watch the Fab 5 on Bravo's Queen Eye for the Straight Guy, they said "I think it's hysterical and a lot of fun," Guenther said. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy has become the highest-rated show for the 23-year-old cable station. The Sept. 2 episode of Queer Eye finished second among all networks in that time slot in the 18 to 49 age group. It also led all ad-supported cable programs for the entire day. The episode totaled more than three million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. The show features five professionals in dining, grooming, design, fashion and culture. Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, Carson Kressley and Jai Rodriguez also happen to be gay. The Fab 5 give a heterosexual male tips on how to dress, eat and live better. The straight man also gets advice on how to get or maintain a relationship. The breakout hit has raised Margaret Cho, a comedian and actress, said the show was Important for the future of gay television, but posed a question about these perceptions on her Web site www.margaretecho.com. issues about the portrayal of gays on television, receiving praise and flack from members of the gay community. Actors portraying gay male characters have broken onto the silver screen in shows such as NBC's Will and Grace, Showtime's Queer As Folk and HBO's Six Feet Under and Sex and the City. "Why is the idea that gay men, in order to be accepted by mainstream society, have to be really 'good' at something?" she asked. Reality shows are also featuring gay men, such as Bravo's Boy Meets Boy and CBS's Amazing Race 4, in which a gay couple compete in a race around the world. Patrick Ross, Queens and Allies director, said the representation of queer people on television was still far behind where it needed to be. race around Sarah Burris, Queens and Allies outreach chairwoman, said she was uncertain whether she liked Will and Grace because the show reinforced the stereotype that gay men had to look and act a certain way. They see those images on televi sion that tell them what they have to be and that isn't right," she said. "Just as it isn't right for young girls to look at Britney Spears and see her as什 they have to become." Queer As Folk has perhaps raised the most eyebrows — and criticism. Ross said men on the show were represented as promiscuous and catty. He said it was not a show he would like straight people to write. would like straight people be here to "I think they miss the deeper way the show speaks to the queer community — just as I would never be able to understand a TV show about rape in the same way that someone has been through the experience would," he said. He added that TV characters were not representative of reality. Given a choice between watching TV shows that don't incorporate gay lifestyle and watching shows that depicted gay stereotypes, Burris said she would choose the former. "Network television isn't horrible in the way it portrays the community," she said. "It's when you get into Queer as Folk that it scares me." Lesbians on television have had less presence than gay males. Burris liked the relationship between Willow and Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She said they provided good role models for young people. Burris said she thought gay men were the easiest to portray on television because a majority of situation comedy viewers are women. "Let's face it, many women love gay men," she said. When questioned if the exposure for the gay community was worth the negative portrayals, Burris said it was. "With any exposure at all, you have to realize that people are just people and that is the most important thing to remember," she said. Ross said all people are stereotyped on television regardless of sexual orientation. "It's simply a matter of time before queer becomes mainstream, and then we'll all be saying, 'God, not another gay show,'" he said. - Edited by Neeley Spellmeier 8B the university daily kansan Fed Lepon Tenem sex on the hill monday, september 15.2003 Red Lyon Tavern A touch of Irish in downtown Lawrence 944 Mass. 832-8228 Red Lyon Casem Pregnant?

For years, tales of nearly naked mobs grinding and taking advantage of reduced visibility in neck-deep pits of suds have trickled into the Midwest from both coasts and vacation spots in Mexico. But after a few pioneering attempts at recreating the spectacle in Lawrence, sponsors concluded that foam parties here may always be squeaky clean. SHAMPOO The young tradition of toam parties at the University of Kansas began in 2000 when Pat Laufenburger, Overland Park senior and Sigma Chi fraternity member, went in with several friends to purchase a foam machine. ore. hind- ibil- led nd ew the on- ways at the hen Pat r and with m Illustration by Joe Thurston/Kansan Laufenburger's equipment, consisting of two long tubes designed to shower streams of bubbles into a pit below, debuted at a Bid Day party with the Alpha Chi Omega sorority at TeePee Junction north of Lawrence. It didn't live up to expectations, producing inches of foam instead of feet. "I was like, That's it? That's the foam machine?" said Lindsay Campbell. Holcomb senior and Alpha Chi Omega member. With familiar faces all around and foam coverage only shin-deep, dancers were reluctant to shed inhibitions or soggy clothes. tatt to shed immature eaggge "What I had heard about before was people having sex in foam pits and stuff, but obviously that wasn't going to happen at our function," said Courtney Jakowitz, Albuquerque, N.M., senior, and sorority member. Illustration by Joe Thurston/Kansan The machine relocated to the Granada for two parties in 2003. Although each event drew crowds of around 400 people, they failed to provoke any truly MTV-worthy behavior. Andy Haskins, Fremont, Neb., senior, and Sigma Chi member, said people were merely dancing behind the foam pit and occasionally playing around in it. Lawrence's midwestern location and college-town environment seem to keep dirty dancing in check at local foam parties. "I think it's a thing kids do if they're where they feel comfortable to be more crazy," Granada employee Brandon McKeever said. "Here, they have friends, and if they found out, it might ruin their reputations. For the most part, it's something that's going to go over big in spring break destinations." **situation:** More clothing and less body contact, that is, more for a bad time. especially at a Granada party in July. was there. Besides an overall good time, foam parties also offer a cleansmelling venue for days afterward. "People were coming in and having fun dancing in the foam that seemed to be what they wanted to do," McKeever said. "The DJ did a good job of keeping everybody happy. The vibe was there." Encouraged by the growing popularity of recent foam parties in town, both the Granada and Sigma Chi want to organize another sometime this fall. As innocent as past events have been in Lawrence, the Granada's security guards may be the only ones opposed. McKeever has experience dismantling foam pits and mopping up soapy water from past events. "The cleanup isn't very sexy," McKeever said. Edited by Dave Nobles Drunken encounters often prove sobering By Jonathan Kealing correspondent@kansan.com Kansan correspondent Almost4,100 freshmen arrived on campus this August. Most of them had never hit the college party scene before. Kegs full of beer, trays packed high with Jell-O shots and all sorts of alcoholic concoctions abound. the mix of alcohol and raging hormones influences students to make bad decisions. Often, this may include having sex with someone that one just met 30 minutes or an hour before. Some students are content with this decision, while others instantly regret what they have done. Tyler Henn, Overland Park freshman, was at a party where a girl under the influence asked to make out with him. make out with him. "I thought it was kind of different but I had been drinking, too, so I went for it," he said. "That's just something that doesn't happen when you're sober." per whinery. But, not all drunken liaisons end as simply as that. Sometimes the encounter comes with disappointment at the least, if not hurt feelings and lots of baggage. Kathanna Culp, Tuscaloosa, Ala., sophomore, said having drunken sex made her feel a little cheaper. She said she was content with her decisions when having sober sex, though. Culp lost a boyfriend over one drunken mistake. Beyond that, she hurt a friendship and made her own life more difficult. Most college students have never had the amount of freedom that they are given when they come to school. No one is looking over their shoulders, and no one is there to tell them what is right and wrong. and wrong. A recent survey by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention indicates that among students, almost 25 percent were intoxicated at the time of their last sexual experience. Also according to the study, males were two-thirds more likely to have been drinking prior to engaging in a sexual act. Mia Mulch, Burlington, Iowa freshman, gave advice to one of her friends who engaged in sexual intercourse while intoxicated. Mulch told her to live life without regrets and be smarter next time or live with her choices. "She was kind of mad that I didn't sympathize with her, but I think she realized that what she had done was a mistake," Mulch said.

The scene is part of the upcoming show Fefu and Her Friends, which will open at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 29. By Viva Bolova correspondent@kansan.com Kansan correspondent Freedom of expression that's sexy, says Leslie Bennett. "The rest is just kind of an imitation," she said. "It's posing." In her classes, Bennett uses a lot of exercises connecting relaxation, breathing and stretching. But the exercises have to be experienced with other people. The main goal is to increase inner awareness. Bennett, assistant professor of theater, teaches movement classes that get students to be comfortable in their bodies. An actor can only take on a character and have no problem with that character's sexuality unless the actor is fully aware of his or her own personality, she said. "You just have to become comfortable in your own skin enough to allow someone else to interact with you in that skin," she said. The musical centers upon an English nightclub singer who performs at the Kit Kat Klub in Berlin. John Staniunas, associate professor of theater, is directing this fall's performance of the sexually charged musical Cabaret. Stanliunas said directors found exercises that allowed the brain to loosen up, so that the performers were more capable of exploring. "Ultimately, what you want to do is you want actors to get into a place where they feel comfortable expressing deep emotions," he said. Exercises vary, depending on what kind of loosening up the actors need to do. A good way to become comfortable with one another is to "You can do that with your hands, you can do that with the feet, you can do that with any number of connectors," Staniunas said. play with each other's weight and balance each other out, he said.

Laura Leffler-McCabe, Overland Park graduate student, is directing Fefu and Her Friends, a play that explores issues of gender and sexuality. It presents the different types of relationships among young women. "A lot of what students work on in acting classes is undoing what society does to them, and that can have a lot to do with sexuality as well," Leffler-McCabe said. Edited by Neeley Spellmeier Draw curtains to prevent unwanted voyeurism By Megan Mckenzie correspondent@kansan.com Kansan correspondent Parre Ahmadi was trying on clothes in the women's dressing room in Olathe when she looked up and saw a man looking down at her. Ahmadi, Manhattan junior, was startled and ran out of the dressing room to tell her mom to call the police. A "It made me realize there are sick people out there and you don't realize this until it happens to you," she said. Photo illustration by Zach Straus/Kansan The man was caught by police and arrested for assaulting Ahmadi. A police officer told Ahmadi the man had been previously charged with assault. The event happened three years ago. Lt. Schuyler Bailey, campus public safety officer, said voyeurism was not a problem on campus or within the city limits. But situations have occurred in the past. Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said voyeurism was not a problem on campus, but said all students should keep their doors locked and their blinds closed. This summer, Carolyn Walter, Overland Park junior, awoke in her house on the 1300 block of Ohio Street to find an unknown man staring at her in her bedroom. Walter questioned the man, who mumbled he was sorry and exited the room. Walter found that four of her nine roommates had met the same man in their rooms. Walter and her roommates called the Lawrence Police Department and reported the intrusion. A police officer explained that there had been other reports made about this type of crime, Walter said. "It made me realize there are sick people out there and you don't realize this until it happens to you." "It didn't really faze me because I was only living there for one more week." Walter said Parre Ahmadi Manhattan junior Lindsey Morse, Norman, Okla., senior, remembered a police officer approaching her while she was sunbathing in Watson Park during her sophomore year. The officer said a neighbor had called the police because he saw a man masturbating while staring at Morse. The officer advised her to leave the park.

"Rain" will give customers a lap dance for $10, she'll remove her top for $20 and she'll even place her crotch in front of a customer's face for the right tip. "If they try any thing, I clown 'em," said Rain, who asked to not be named. As an exotic dancer at The Outhouse, 1837 N. 1500 Road, Rain has seen the occasional grabby customer in her three and a half years of employment. From drunken businessmen to unruly truckers to sex-starved college boys, area exotic and topless dancers have to deal with inconveniences with each shift. "A lot of people have misconceptions about what actually happens in a strip club," said "Jordan." dancer at The Outhouse. "Yes, we're naked, and yes, we dance for guys. That's it. End of story. We don't go home with guys." Rain says, for the most part, that customers at her establishment just want to have fun. But when customers do want a more hands-on experience, the bouncers encourage them to rethink that decision. Michael Frazier, doorman and bouncer at The Outhouse, said he would give customers two warnings if he saw customers harassing a dancer. The first warning would be polite but direct. If the needs to warn them again, he removes them. Nick Cianciarulo is the manager at the toppless bar, All Stars, 913 N. Second St. The bar doesn't have bouncers because it doesn't have a big problems with hand-happy customers. All Stars staff monitor the floor, and if a problem occurs, the dancers speak with management, who issue the first of three warnings. If the customer needs a third warning, they are kicked out for 30 days. Dancers must sign a contract upon employment that requires them to obey all Lawrence laws and regulations, which prohibits them from giving customers anything extra. Many dancers said misconceptions could be fixed with simple respect. "Most of us have kids, husbands, boyfriends," Jordan said. "Most of us keep work at work, and home at home."

Just try to find a television show, magazine or movie that doesn't discuss some facet of sexuality. But what if you weren't American and hadn't been raised in a culture that encouraged more cleavage, less clothes and "gettin' some?" Some international students at the University of Kansas face this culture clash as soon as they hit campus. "In Peru, most of the time you will get to know a girl and start dating her," Arturo Benavente, Lima, Peru, junior, said. "But there won't be any kissing or physical stuff." business. Don't confuse us about here," he said. "Back home, you're sure that you're with that girl, but in America you're not really sure. You're just 'dating' her, and people sometimes will date more than one person." Dating and relationships are much more clear-cut in Peru than they in America because the couple must discuss whether or not they want to begin a relationship, Benavente said. Sex, however, plays a similar role in Latin-American culture as it does in America. Intercourse among young couples generally depends on the feelings and beliefs of each individual relationship. Premarital sex is not uncommon, nor is peer pressure. "Guys will sometimes get made fun of if they haven't had sex by a certain age, around 17 or so," said Gaston Araoz, La Paz, Bolivia, junior. Some societies have held fast to their customs and concrete views on sex and relationships. Jomana Qaddour and Marwa Ghazali, both Overland Park sophomores, were raised in the United States but with strong, conservative Muslim roots. "Sex in our culture is very "Dirty magazines, nudity in movies those sort of things are all banned in China." very sacred." Ghazali said. "It's not something you do for fun." Xiaobang Yue Chengdu, China, sophomore Ghazali said dating works much differently in Muslim cultures. Instead of approaching a girl personally, a boy will go to the girl through her parents and ask if she is ready for marriage. If the parents say their daughter is ready and they approve of the boy, the couple becomes engaged. Engagement, though, does not carry the same connotation as it does within American culture. "Basically, people get engaged and unengaged all the time," Qaddour said. "It's a lot like dating here. That's when you really get to know the boy and decide if you want to marry him." For students from other parts of the world, simply the amount of sex and sensuality in American culture can be an eyeopener, as in the case of Xiaobang Yue, Chengdu, China, sophomore. "People in China don't talk about sex very often," Yue said. "Dirty magazines, nudity in movies — those sort of things are all banned in China." Yue said things have opened up considerably in China during the last decade. "Older people in China are very conservative. I would estimate that 90 percent of people in my parent's generation didn't have sex until after marriage. Now, that number is probably closer to 30 percent," he said. "Our culture is becoming more American." Edited by Ashley Marriot** Mixed dorm thriving in Connecticut 100% By Catherine Odson correspondent@kansan.com Kansan correspondent A Connecticut university experimented with mixed-gender dormitory room assignments this fall to help meet the needs of transgendered students. The University of Kansas has yet to make a similar change, but could consider it in the future. Photo illustration by Zach Strauss/Knoll Walking into your residence hall room and being greeted by a roommate of the opposite gender is a far fetched idea for most universities. But at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn., gender-blind housing has been introduced to meet the demands of an ever-diversified student body. The innovative housing, in which students are assigned roommates without consideration of gender, was introduced this fall after the university instated a new non-discrimination policy including the terms "gender identity and gender expression." gender expression While this concept was developed primarily to meet the needs of transgendered students, the gender-blind floor is open to all students in the Wesleyan community. The floor includes five two-room doubles and two singles. Diana Robertson, associate director for residential life, said that although she had not heard of any requests for alternative housing, Wesleyan was meeting the needs of its students and remained open to the diversity of lifestyles present at the university. With campus housing constantly becoming more liberal, co-ed room assignments may be in the future. With the exception of GSP-Corbin, all of the University of Kansas's residence halls are coed, with gender separation by wing. Naismith Hall, which is privately owned, has both genders in the same wings. Peter Kautz, Leawood senior is a residence assistant at Naismith Hall and lived in KU residence halls for two years. He saw many advantages in having a female roommate. female students "I'd probably have a tendency to clean up more after myself," he said. because of the miscommunication between a male and female roommate, creating more stress and more complex problems. But as a residence assistant, Kautz said it might be difficult "I think I'd be too nervous all the time," Carrie Held, Minneapolis Minn., freshman, said. Edited by Erin Riffey Alternative tabloid sexed up University By Crystal Futrell correspondent@kansan.com Kansan correspondent If you couldn't give a hoot about The University Daily Kansan,you aren't the only one. Nearly a century ago, 16 members of the University of Kansas junior class honor society, developed an illustrated journal called The Sour Owl. It quickly became the tabloid trash of the University, said www.kuhistory.com. The initial intent was to provide students an alternative to the Kansan, which Sour Owl staff felt was driven too much by administrative bias. The first issue was published on May 9, 1914. It started out innocently enough, but with an editor-in-chief baring the pseudonym I. M. Smatty, things were bound to get raunchy. Soon, thanks to its detailed accounts of who slept with whom and its lists of which sorority girls were most promiscuous, The Sour Owl was headed for trouble. In May 1915, after receiving numerous complaints, the University's discipline committee demanded and received an apology from The Sour Owl. But even this slap on the wrist didn't restrain them. In November 1944, The Sour Owl was issuing another apology. But this time, it was to the federal government. Local U.S. Post Office authorities claimed the November 1944 issue of The Sour Owl was unavailable due to its obscene literature and offensive cover, featuring a Kansas football player reaching out, not to catch the flying football headed his way, but the girl's bosoms instead. University administration barred the student-led staff from participating in any other student activities and suspended the journals publication entirely. Alas, diehard fans of The Sorry The SOUR OWL 20¢ Contributed by University Archives Owl managed to sporadically publish the journal until 1956. - Edited by Dave Nobles The wood hobbs. 700mass.

Foreplay is often overlooked. In general, women heat up more slowly than men and thus don't get enough foreplay, according to Dhyan Jeffre, sexologist. Women become more responsive, which improves the experience for both partners. But, if you're looking for that mind-blowing sex you think only happens once in a while, here's your ticket to ride. Whether you're planning to spend one night or your entire life with your partner, foreplay increases the sexual energy between couples. With a new partner, foreplay can be tricky, but also more stimulating. The surprise of what you don't know can be electrifying. ying. Some see foreplay as a mere formality or means to an end. In truth, it can be one of the most personal experiences you share, and also an inside into what your partner wants. commentary Neeley Spellmeier nspellmeier@kansan.com Foreplay starts before you even make it to the bedroom. Some of the most arousing ways to tease begin in public. This doesn't mean you should be making out with your partner at the bar. This is meant to be a slow and subtle dance between the two of you. Brush your hand across sensitive areas, or brush his/her hand against yours, but in a way only your partner notices. Girls, allude to the new lingerie you purchased and how you're trying it out — or perhaps how you're not wearing any at all. Even how you eat can make a difference. Let any sexual feelings you have flow out of you, so they come across in every action you make. Hold your partner off until there is nothing to be done but rush home and let the games begin. let the games begin. On the drive home, don't let your hormones fade. Now that you're alone, you can take more liberties with one another. Blowing, licking, kissing, grabbing—these are all fair game, but keep your clothes on. At home, it's still important not to go for it right away. This is where the undressing comes into play, and you have two routes. The first is a continuation of the slow and rhythmic tempting of one another. Every button, zipper and hook should be a production of long, meaningful kisses on the lips, chest, legs and feet. Be aware of the small details. For those of you who don't want to put the time into unclaspling a bra, do not go straight for the goods. A girl does not want to spend her entire sexual experience with a bra wrapped around her neck. As for the other route, it's completely animalistic. Pull and tug, ravenously rip at one another's clothes. Sometimes this involves not even getting clothes off. Both ways can be sexy as hell. Let the mood of the evening determine your course. Equally important is what you want to avoid. While it's helpful to know exactly your partner wants, don't simply ask. Explore and listen to how their bodies responds. Everyone knows what turns them on, but when your partner knows before you even have to tell them, you're going to score big time. One last thing. Foneplay should definitely take longer than it took you to read this column. Spellmeier is a Sabetha senior in journalism and history. Queer issues about more than sex I just want to make one thing clear: Queer relationships are about sex. They are also about love, lust, honesty, heartbreak, worrying, good times, bad times, looking ahead, making mistakes and everything that any relationship is about. Sex on the Hill may be focused on some queer issues, but that is not to say that queer issues are solely focused upon sex. hely focused upon For many years, lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender people have been marginalized, ignored, hated, discriminated against and grudgingly tolerated. Sex and sexuality are different so are sexuality and sexual orientation. The fact that I'm a gay man is my sexual orientation and that has nothing to do with the act of sex itself. This has been a red-letter year for queer people. Sodomy laws were declared unconstitutional, same-sex marriage became legal in Canada and several new television shows are centered on queer themes. These positive strides have their flaws and misconceptions as well. Television shows portray gay characters in a less-than-favorable light. According to Warren Hedges, professor of English at Southwestern Oregon University, what these characters do defines who they are, and those are stereotypical depictions all too often. Jack from Will & Grace is an extremely feminine and promiscuous man. This only reinforces the idea that all gay men are feminine and can't handle monogamous relationships. commentary commentary Patrick Ross correspondent@kansan.com The United States will not recognize queer marriage, even though a straight couple can get married in Canada and the certificate is valid here. Some congressmen have even tried to prohibit gay marriage outright within the borders of our nation. If I marry the man I love, can such an act really cause the fabric of reality to tear wide open? It seems that we are only acceptable if we accept our status as second-class citizens under the law. That saddens me as a worker for social reform. Don't assume you know all about us after reading a section in a newspaper. Watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, but don't assume that I act like the men on the show. Gay men are a diverse group. Lesbians are just as diverse. diverse. The only difference between you and me is the fact that I date and sleep with people of the same gender, and one day I hope to be able to marry such a person. I worry that I will never have the same rights that you do.

"I do's" are said, lips are locked, but then, there's nookie to get. For a scene that usually takes place on virginal white sheets in a honeymoon suite, a woman in gothic clothes and stark white makeup doesn't usually fit in. Add in whips and wax, and it's anything but typical. But Lawrence's own fetish troupe, Contra Naturam, regularly transforms such scenes into the ultimate blood-red wedding ceremony. On Saturday, its most recent "Yes, scary, nightmare, vampire faces," said trump leader Jericho van de Velde, giving direction to the performance in a rehearsal hours before the show. Bottleneck performance began with an innocent marriage ceremony but progressed into one of Lawrence's darkest events of the year, complete with vampirism, bondage and gothic dance music. She got in on the action herself, laying down at her husband's feet submitting herself to beatings and being eaten by the other The fetishists, who wished to be referred to by stage names only, morphed the bride, played by troupe member "Ion," into one of their own as she watched her husband get tied to a cross and be abused. But don't worry, audience members weren't angry, nor were they left out. "If you go home and want to try some of these things, well then, we've succeeded." Jericho van de Velde Contra Naturam troupe leader Attendees' attire varied from tight leather to street clothes, and the troupe members invited the crowd to test out their toys after the show. gothic women. The groom, played by "Armitage," hopelessly struggled to free his arms as he watched in horror. After the cast took its bow, Jericho stressed safety to anyone interested in pursuing the bedroom techniques on stage. The happy violence came full circle as the favorite wife-turned-vampire helped prey on fresh meat, "Tuesday." The women beat the new girl, spraying fake blood on the audience in the first row. "If you go home and want to try some of these things," he said, "Well then, we've succeeded."

New radio facility opens Kansas Public Radio gains space, luxury with 24-room building By Nikki Nugent nnugent@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Kansas Public Radio just moved to a new state-of-the-art building after more than 50 years of broadcasting from the "Mud Hut." The new facility is located at 1120 West 11th St., near Memorial Stadium. KPR held a dedication ceremony at 2 p.m.yesterday on the building's back lawn to celebrate the new location and the organization's 51st anniversary. The organization's old building was dubbed the "Mud Hut" because of its small size and lack of facilities. back of the microlight Janet Campbell, Kansas Public Radio general manager, said KPR used to be divided among various buildings.

Speakers at the dedication included Chancellor Robert Hemenway, Frank Becker, chairman of the KU Endowment board of trustees, and Roy Menninger, chairman of the KPR advisory board. Hemenway said he was told at an advisory meeting that KPR needed better facilities. facilities. "We felt the quality of Kansas Public Radio was such that it deserved the kind of facilities we have here," he said. After the dedication, visitors toured the facility.

Janet Campbell general manager, Kansas Public Radio professor of music and dance; Bob Koenig, pianist; Peter Chun, violinist; and David Jacobs-Strain, folk guitarist, performed from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. while employees explained the new equipment to visitors. The $2.2 million building was funded by KU First donors. Much of the funding came from Hortense "Tensie" Oldfather, who gave more than $1 million to start construction. The Sunderland Foundation of Overland Park donated $500,000 to help fund the project. The 9,500 square-foot building has 24 rooms, five production studios, a music library which holds more than 30,000 compact discs and a performance hall. Phil Wilke, underwriting representative for Kansas Public Radio, said the dedication was a great way to show people what their donations and support have done. "This gives people an opportunity to see where the money is going, how we're running the station every day, what we've done with what we've been given," he said, "And we think it is an opportunity for the staff to show good stewardship of the money."

Students' favorite footwear could cause serious injury By Amber Bylaray abyarlay@kansan.com kansan staff writer Edited by Andy Marso Slipping into flip-flops each morning has become as routine for many University of Kansas students as brushing their teeth. Kara Hansen/Kansan teen. "Last year I wore flip-flops in the snow." Ashley Bolton, Wichita sophomore, said. "I can't remember the last time I wore tennis shoes." Some students wear flip-flops on campus for a majority of the year. The shoes that University of Kansas students love could cause foot problems, such as pain in the heels or the arches, if worn for an extended period of time. The shoes that Bolton and so many KU students love could create painful foot problems, though. Flip-flops can damage the plantar fascia, which is a band of inelastic tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot and to the toes. This tissue lits the arch when people walk but can be damaged if it is not supported. damaged it is not supported When this tissue is damaged, it swells and creates a problem known as plantar fasciitis. This often causes pain in the heel and arch of the foot. Lawrence Gaston, a Lawrence-based podiatrist, said that he saw plantar fasciitis weekly and that one of the common causes is wearing flip-flops for extend periods of time. "Like anything there's a place for wearing them," Gaston said. "Around the house, at the beach or in the shower, but they weren't designed for prolonged standing or walking." standing of walking. People wear flip-flops everyday though, Gaston said, and that causes problems because feet are not supported for days at a time. Some people are able to wear the shoes and never have a problem, said Phyllis Ragley, a Lawrence-based podiatrist, but plantar fasciitis is the most common disorder that she treats. Treatments for plantar fasciitis include wearing flat shoes and avoiding walking barefoot. Patients are told to wear shoes with a slight heel elevation and arch support, such as running shoes. Patients also should avoid walking on the balls of their feet and are told to avoid squatting. Ragley said these treatments worked Residence hall ledges necessary for safety Chelsy Shore walked across the ledge outside of her fifth-floor window in Oliver Hall when she lived there two years ago. By Joe Hartigan jhartigan@kansan.com Kansan staff writer years ago. Shore had locked herself out of her room and decided to climb through a neighbor's window, walk across the ledge, and break into her room through her own window rather than pay the fee for unlocking her door. "They should make it so you can't take those screens off," Shore said. Shore, Boulder, Colo., junior, made it into her room without falling off the ledge. She also remembered that many people used to either smoke cigarettes on the ledges or sit in their open windows and smoke them. "Now you're not allowed to smoke," Shore said.

Cadillac Ranch patrons to fight each other for a prize At the Cadillac Ranch, 2515 W. Sixth St., fighting can lead to police encounters, or at the least, ejection from the premises. But tonight, fighting at the bar could win students $100. The bar is hosting College Fight Night. Students and other amateur competitors will meet in an adjustable ring set up in the Ranch. The students will fight in three divisions: lightweight, middleweight and heavyweight. Fighters will wear protective headgear and fight three one-minute rounds under certified referee supervision, with the winners receiving their choice of a championship belt or $100 cash. The event was organized by Denver-based Knockout Events. Kevin Shaw, Knockout Events co-owner, said the company would be putting on 100 Fight Nights in seven states this year. Shaw expected a good crowd and a full slate of fighters tonight. He said the company's events were always popular "Wherever we go, people show up; it's a natural phenomenon," he said. Shaw attributed the popularity to the unique situation of amateur fighting in a bar setting. "it's not a band, it's not karaoke, it's not 25-cent draws," he said. "There's a novelty in our events." The event is open to anyone, male or female, who wishes to participate. Prospective fighters must sign up by visiting www.knockoutevents.com or by calling 1-866-387-2744.

Students said the changes could be confusing at times. Room numbers confuse students By Maggie Newcomer mnewcomer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Austin McKune was armed with his trusty class schedule when he arrived at Learned Hall on the first day of classes this semester. The schedule failed the Lansing senior when he saw all the room numbers had been changed. School of Engineering administrators decided last summer to remove the old numbers and replace them with new numbers to make Learned and Eaton halls seem more like a unit and to ensure room numbers weren't repeated in the two buildings. The project was paid for with money from Eaton Hall's construction, said Rob Sorem, associate dean of engineering. Sorem refuted the rumor that the $40,000 project started because Stuart Bell, dean of engineering, wanted his office to be 1 Eaton Hall. "That is absolutely not true." Sorem said, laughing. The dean's office is 1 Eaton Hall because the first level of the building is below the first level of Learned Hall, technically making it the basement. if the site has more than 500 signs will be replaced in both halts by Oct. 15, said Jennifer Schmitendorf, administrative specialist in the dean of engineering's office. Temporary numbers written on paper are outside each room. The old numbers are handwritten on the bottom of the cards. "The first day was confusing. Once we found those sheets, though, we figured it out." Austin McKune Lansing senior Sheets with every room's old and new numbers are on each floor to help students find their classrooms. "That first day was confusing," McKune said. "Once we found those sheets, though, we figured it out." Besides schedules being printed with the old numbers, Schmitendorf said she didn't think there had been a lot of problems. Bell said any confusion students had at the beginning of the school year was minimal compared to the confusion over the last 20 years. Learned Hall's old numbers start at the elevator in the middle of the hall, go down to one end of the hall and start over at the opposite end. When rooms were added throughout the years, their numbers were just stuck in the middle of the others, he said. "It's probably more of a mix-up for the students who have been here for a while," Schmitendorf said. Although some Learned Hall students were still confused, Sorem said everyone was getting used to the changes. —Edited by Cate Batchelder By Danielle Hillix dhillix@kansan.com kansan staff writer Freshman 15 makes students loosen belts Late-night pizza deliveries six-packs of Budweiser and all you-can-eat dining halls add up; the "freshman 15" is for real. In a study released this summer researchers at Cornell University found that college freshmen gain an average of 4.2 pounds during their first 12 weeks on campus. much they eat and when they eat often results in the extra pounds." "They're constantly being confronted with food, Levitsky said. "Hc During the 12-week study at Cornell, participating freshmen gained an average of .3 pounds per week. That is almost 11 times the weekly weight gain expected in 17- and 18-year-olds. It is 20 times the average weekly weight gain of American adults. Health Center, said a sensible, high-fiber diet would go a long way in preventing pounds. High-fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables, are more filling and have less calorie than greasy fast-forget Chapman said. "If you fill up fiber, you natural eat less meat and potatoes," she said. In addition to a healthy diet, an active lifestyle is also necessary, Chapman said. "And I'm not talking about just walking to campus," she said. Many freshmen come to college and become sedentary after being physically active in high school, Chapman said. "If you were active as an athlete cheerleader before have to find thing to rep that in college, she said." Hannah Hohendorf is ahead of the curve. The Kansas City, Kan., freshman has gained seven pounds since arriving in Lawrence on Aug. 17. Hohendorf said that erratic eating patterns and bad nutrition have contributed to her weight gain. "When I was at home I always ate at certain times," Hohendorf said. "Now I have a lot of free time to eat. Plus the things I eat aren't the best." Hohendorf's story is all too common, said David Levitsky, professor of nutritional sciences at Cornell and co-author of the study. With all you can-eat dining halls across the street and late-night delivery service at their fingertips, freshmen are are faced with a lot of temptations. "They're continuing being concerned food."

Among the concerns any student would have before going to a foreign country, I wanted to know how being an African American abroad would affect my experience. ineffectively experience. I began researching all I could on Costa Rica and studying abroad. Sadly, the majority of literature I found focused exclusively on the white student's experience. While I found and appreciated much advice directed toward the female traveler, even that catered to a white perspective with special warnings to blonde, fair-skinned women traveling in Latin America. I needed to know the racial climate of where I would be traveling. How would I be treated? And the question I received from almost every African American I told about my destination, "Do they have black people there?" Why should it matter? I'm going to be a foreigner anyway. What difference does color or ethnicity make? A huge difference. COMMENTARY My physical appearance may dictate where I fit into the host society. What will my experience be like as a minority in another country? Will I be treated as American or black or both? Even grooming becomes an issue.

Luckily, my experience in Costa Rica has been positive so far. Many of my fears and reservations were put to rest. In a way, it's almost like being in the States, because people here are curious about black people. I've experienced the same fascination with black hair that I have encountered in North America. When I first arrived, my host family touched my hair. My host mother marveled that I could still have tan lines even though I have dark skin. Support from fellow study abroad group members is beneficial. Sometimes it's just comforting to be around other North Americans. Even so, I'm the only African American in the Grupo de Kansas this semester. So sometimes I feel especially different, because not only am I foreigner, I'm a minority in my American group. Going abroad has exposed me to other parts of the African Diaspora. Costa Rica has a unique Afro-Caribbean culture, and it has challenged my previous conceptions about the definitions of black and Latino. I have definitely gotten a distinct side of the cultural customs. Although relatively mild, some Costa Rican men do shout out piropos. The closest North American equivalent is catcalling. These displays of male attention occur when women walk down the street and range from kissing noises to rhymes. They usually refer to some physical characteristic. I have received the saying Mi Negrita, which means my little black girl. If I had not been warned about this, I would have been offended. But I had to understand that negro doesn't have the same connotation in Spanish. And it has been my experience that in Costa Rica they refer to race more openly than in the States. This type of information is crucial for a student of color studying abroad. What has been a pleasant surprise is that I don't stick out as much as I thought I would. Apparently I don't fit the concept of a North American as a white person. So I don't get pegged as foreign until I open my mouth and speak Spanish. I want to use my experience to encourage more minority students to take advantage of this opportunity. I was disappointed not to see more students of color in my pre-departure orientation, or here studying in Costa Rica. It would be a shame to let lack of information and fear of the unknown keep people from studying abroad.

She has been washing her plastic water bottles in the dishwasher for years. At first she didn't believe that carcinogens came from the plastic breaking down after repeated washes. But, after a little convincing, she realized I wasn't kidding around. COMMENTARY "Now what am I going to do?" she said in hysteria. 图30 And that got me thinking. What are any of us going to do about all of these carcinogens? Should we stay indoors, drinking only filtered water out of clean glasses and reading books that don't strain our eyes and are made from chemical-free paper? How much do we really need to worry? Louise Stauffer opinion@kansan.com After I calmed Mom down, I lay down in a tanning bed and contemplated what I had heard could give me cancer. Deodorant, Aspartame, cell phones, microwaves, power plants, the sun and of course, smoking. I love all these things. I also thought about an Italian friend who, when told by an obnoxious American that he was not only giving himself cancer, but her too by secondhand smoke, brushed the statement of like dandruff flakes on a black shirt: dandrum lakes after blue sky. "That is all lies," he said, blowing smoke further into her retinas, "Cance by cigarettes, oh, you silly Americans." Then I got on the Internet, and discovered there were more carcinogens than I'd ever realized. I'd ever realized. The U.S. Department of Health and Services had lists of known carcinogens, some I expected, and many I didn't. For instance, I expected alcoholic beverage consumption, asbestos and mustard gas, but wood dust? Come on. Are we simply too afraid of cancer? And maybe illness in general? Are we afraid of anything that will make us sick? In the water-bottle story, it said that not only should we stop washing out water bottles, but reusing them as well. This is because it breeds bacteria, which could make us sick, and then we could die, and then what? Maybe So, are we closer to death every time we breathe wood dust, and drink out of a used bottle, we're getting closer to death? I set out to find the truth. that's the issue, the "Now what?" Paul V. Hartman, a cancer specialist, said in an essay, found on www.naciente.com/essay11.htm, "A cabbage leaf contains at least 54 natural pesticides, and more than half have produced cancer in rodents. Also, Dioxin, a chemical claimed to be the most deadly entity ever created by man, has a natural analog in broccoli." But obviously, these carcinogens are too small of amounts of affect humans negatively. I spoke with Tom Pierce, a doctor at in the center for environmental and occupational health at University of Kansas Medical Center. He explained that a type of carcinogens, called phthalates, are indeed present when a water bottle has been washed repeatedly, because of the way the plastic breaks down. He said those same phthalates are also present in the plastic parts of ivs, iv machines, automobiles, and more. Pierce said we all have exposure to phthalates. But, he said, that small exposure is nothing like exposing yourself to cigarette smoke or UV radiation regularly. we're just now reaching The point is, there are many things that contain harmful materials. Even broccoli, which is supposed to be the "superfood." contains a small amount of something deadly. The trick is to think about your individual cancer risk. He advised those who have cancer in their family to talk with their doctor and work out a lifestyle strategy: minimize smoking, eat healthfully, etc. But water bottles, rewashed or not, won't matter much, he said. But if we spend all of our time and energy trying to keep our bodies as healthy and pure as the day we were born, we might forget to start living. If you are trying to quit smoking, please, continue. And if throwing out your cell phone will help you sleep at night, go ahead, but don't be so healthy that you become boring. salt. Most carcinogens have been in our environment for a long, long time, and we're just now realizing it. become boring Think about what is worth risking and what isn't. I know I have some bad habits that are slowly killing me. But at least re-washing my water bottles won't make me sick in this lifetime, hopefully. 4 Stauffer is a Holland, Mt. senior in English and journalism.She is opinion editor. tuesday, September 16, 2003 advertisement the university daily kansan 5A Party finder.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A LEDGES: Residence halls need ledges for stability Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations, said there were reasons why University residence halls had ledges and why students were able to access them through their windows. Cohen also said the ledges couldn't be removed because they were too great a part of the "The ledges are deceiving," Cohen said. "They're easier to get on than off." Cohen said the ledges could be found at most of the state's universities and were built as an aide to air conditioning, as they provide shade to the rooms beneath them. This is why the ledges, which are 18 inches wide, are about five feet below the windows, said Cohen. structure of the residence halls and the buildings might not be able to stand without them. Cohen said the University wouldn't reconsider its residence hall smoking policy, either, noting that allowing smoking in the residence halls creates a fire hazard for a greater number of people than the hazard created by students being on the ledges. The current policy bans smoking on all floors in every residence hall, and was put in effect last fall. Cohen said the University has also considered putting bars on the windows or installing screens that can't be removed, but that in the event of a fire or emergency, this would be more of a safety hazard than not doing anything. The last student to die after falling out of a University residence hall window was Scott McWhorter, a Dallas freshman who fell out of a fourth-floor window of Corbin Hall in 1994. In the spring of 2001, Matthew Ward, Kingman freshman, fell out of an eighth-floor window of Hashinger Hall. The fall shattered both of Ward's ankles, but he lived. In the fall of that year, another freshman, Sadd Saifedine, of Morocco, fell from a fourth-floor window in McCollum Hall. Saifedine was injured, but survived the fall. Both of these students had been smoking on the ledges when they fell. Jessica Miller, an Overland Park sophomore who lived in Oliver Hall last year, said the ledges were unsafe. "Just having them there is tempting to go out," Miller said. —Edited by Abby Sidesinger FLIP-FLOPS: Arch, good cushioning better for feet CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A for 90 to 95 percent of patients. The remaining 5 to 10 percent of people may need to anti-inflammatory shots. A few people don't respond to either treatment and need ossatron treatment, Ragley said. Ossatron treatment involves using acoustic shock waves to make the tissue begin healing. The treatment is only used after patients don't respond to the other forms of treatment after a six-month period, Ragley said. The possibility of damaging, feet doesn't keep people from buying flip-flops, though. Tim Arensberg, manager of Arensburg Shoes, 825 Massachusetts St., said people still bought the shoes because they were in style. "There are a number of reasons people buy shoes," Arensburg said. "Some for comfort and walking and some for style - and sometimes the two don't go together." Arensburg said 98 percent of flip-flops were flat and were likely to cause foot damage. If customers wanted to buy flip-flops, he suggested a pair that had a little bit of arch and good cushioning, such as those marketed by Teva. "They're still not the best for your feet, but if you have to wear a flip-flop, those are the best," Arensburg said.

Like Bolton, Doane said giving up his flip-flops would be difficult.

The decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is certain to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, putting the justices in a position to influence yet another monumental election. The three-judge panel did not set a new date for the recall election, but backed a suggestion from the American Civil Liberties Union that the balloting be held during the March 2 presidential primary. primary. "It is virtually undisputed that ... punch-card voting systems are significantly more prone to errors that result in a voter's ballot not being counted than the other voting systems used in California," the judges wrote. The 9th Circuit is the nation's largest and most liberal federal appeals court. It was the 9th Circuit last year that declared the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools unconstitutional because of the words "under God." Yesterday's ruling was the last of about a dozen legal challenges to the attempt to unseat Democratic Gov. Gray Davis. Several candidates are running to replace him, including Democratic Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, action star Arnold Schwarzenegger and conservative state Sen. Tom McClintock. Davis would probably benefit the most from the ruling if the election were held in March, because the presidential primary is expected to bring a large number of Democrats to the polls. It could also give Davis more time to address the state's budget crisis and force Schwarzenegger, the GOP front-runner, into a longer campaign. The appeals court unanimously ruled it is unacceptable that six California counties would be using outdated punch-card ballots _ the same system at the center of the recount furor that erupted in Florida after the 2000 presidential election. The six counties include the state's most populous, Los Angeles, as well as Sacramento and San Diego counties. Altogether they contained 44 percent of California's registered voters during the 2000 election. Ted Costa, head of the Peoples Advocate, one of the groups that put the recall on the ballot, said an appeal is certain. "Give us 24 hours," he said. The California official responsible for elections, Secretary of State Kevin Shelley, said through a spokeswoman he is consulting with fellow Democrat Attorney General Bill Lockyer. He would not say when the state would decide whether to appeal. The Supreme Court could reinstate Oct. 7 as the date. 841-PLAY 1029 Massachusetts If the high court does agree to hear the case, it would again be embroiled in another highly partisan political issue reminiscent of the 2000 election, in which the court declared Republican George Bush the winner. Schwarzenegger called on the secretary of state to appeal. Both he and Davis said they would continue their campaigns in the meantime. "Historically, the courts have upheld the rights of voters, and I expect that the court will do so again in this case," Schwarzenegger said in a statement. "The people have spoken, and their word should, and will, prevail." "This recall has been like a roller coaster. There are more surprises than you can possibly imagine," Davis told reporters after appearing with former President Clinton at a school dedication in Compton. "I'll continue to make my case to the people that a recall is not good for them." news Teacher suspended for school computer porn KANSAS CITY, Kan. - An elementary school teacher has been accused of having child pornography on his work computer, police said.

Kline says sodomy case will nullify some laws TOPEKA, Kan. - Attorney General Phill Kline said yesterday that if the state loses a sodomy case currently before a state appeals court, Kansas marriage laws and laws against sex with children will be nullified. Kline said the American Civil Liberties Union is attacking the state's prohibition of same-sex marriages as well as laws against polygamy, incest, bestiality and sex between adults and children. An ACLU attorney said Kline had distorted the group's arguments and dismissed his statements as "an act of desperation."

He gets home only to work two more hours on school projects that are due for his industrial design class at 8:30 a.m., giving him about three hours of sleep if he is lucky. "That's a rough morning," the Chicago senior said. Wildenradt is a full-time student at the University of Kansas, constantly juggling school, studying and late-night jobs while trying to find room for sleep. Wildenreich started working at the restaurant in June 2002. He's taking 12 hours this semester and averaging 25 hours at work with about six hours per day of studio time. "Everything's just way more organized and less spontaneous," he said. "But you get used to it after doing it for so long." C. M. BARBATI Lindsev Gold/Kansar Jamie Simpson, Columbus senior, carried drinks to a waiting customer at The Wheel, 507 W.14th, last week. Simpson, who usually works two days a week from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., said that work did not conflict with school. Wildenradt said he considered work an undesirable necessity for school. "They kind of play off each other I guess, because work is paying for school," Wildenradt said. "School will hopefully get me out of the job I'm in now." Kevin Roche, Chicago senior works about 20 hours a week as a bartender and bouncer at It's Brother's Bar and Grill, 1105 Massachusetts St., while taking 12 hours this semester. hours this scooler. His shift ends about 4 a.m. His shift ends about 4 a.m. Roche said the trick to working late night was working on school assignments at least two day ahead of time and scheduling later classes when possible. Last year, he had a 9:30 a.m. discussion class on Fridays. "I had to set three alarms around my room in 20-minute intervals just to get up." Roche said. Frank DeSalvo, director of KU counseling and psychological services, recommended that students get at least six to eight hours a night to function. "It's certainly best to get it all in one chunk." DeSalvo said. DeSalvo said the body could learn to adjust to different sleep cycles within weeks as long as it gets sleep. Chris Scolari, Boulder, Colo., senior, has worked at Jack Flanigan's Bar and Grill, 806 W. 24th St., since February 2001. Hetakes 16 credit hours of class. Scolari's Thursday-night shift ends about 3 a.m. "I can't take class on Friday." Scolari said. "I won't make it there."

Boos for new price of brews Students, Lawrence residents upset over Free State's Monday price increase By Kevin Kampwirth Kansan staff writer Fifty cents. Quarters, dimes, nickels or pennies, no matter how it's broken up, it's still just 50 cents. And it has many people upset. Free State Brewing Company 636 Massachusetts St, has been a popular Monday night hangout for many Lawrence residents and University of Kansas students for close to seven years because of its $1.25 beer special. Free State raised the Monday special price to $1.75 about a month ago, which angered many of Free State's Monday regulars. to Mondays because you could come here and get pretty drunk for $10," said Luke Ditto, Harrington junior. "That's not the case anymore." "I used to really look forward Chuck Magerl, Free State owner since 1988, said the brewing company started the Monday beer special as a tie-in with Monday Night Football. "Right after we began the special, it started to become apparent that people were coming for the beer and not for football," Magerl said. "So we just kind of phased that part of it out." As popularity increased, so did costs. Magerl said that production and brewing costs of the beer increased by as much as 60 percent over the course of a few years, so prices went up. Weekends have always been crowded with people out of town, so the Monday special became a way to thank all of the Free State regulars, Magerl said. David Hotchkiss, Prairie Village senior, and Noah Rodenbeek, Lawrence resident, said they went at least one Monday a month to Free State for the special. "I guess they did what they had to do," Hotchkiss said. "But we're probably not going to stick around as long as we used to. There's places in town with better deals now." Although there was some customer backlash at first, Mageri said people seemed to adjust to the new prices, and Monday business has not been affected. "We still maintain a very popular Monday night event here," Magerl said. "The fact hasn't changed that we still sell a really good product for a really good price." Free State now offers four out of its seven microbrews for $1.75 on Monday nights. Despite Ditto's dismay over the increase in prices, he said he will continue to go to Free State on Mondays. "It's great with the porch and all the people and it has great beer," Ditto said. "The atmosphere is probably the best in town." —Edited by Scott Christie MORE MORE MORE JANET RENO MORE MINUTES MORE FEATURES MORE SERVICE Voice dialer Nokia 3650 ALL RATE PLANS INCLUDE: NATIONAL DOMESTIC LONG DISTANCE & DIGITAL ROAMING BASIC PLAN 60 WHENEVER Wherever Minutes BASIC PLUS PLAN 300 WHENEVER Wherever Minutes GET MORE™ PLAN 600 WHENEVER Wherever Minutes GET MORE PLUS™ PLAN 1000 WHENEVER Wherever Minutes GET MORE ULTRA™ PLAN 1500 WHENEVER Wherever Minutes GET MORE MAX™ PLAN 2500 WHENEVER Wherever Minutes GET MORE SUPRA™ PLAN 5000 WHENEVER Wherever Minutes 500 WEEKEND Wherever Minutes $19 99 PER MO UNLIMITED WEEKEND Wherever Minutes $29 99 PER MO UNLIMITED WEEKEND Wherever Minutes $39 99 PER MO UNLIMITED NIGHTS UNLIMITED WEEKEND Wherever Minutes $59 99 PER MO UNLIMITED NIGHTS UNLIMITED WEEKEND Wherever Minutes $79 99 PER MO UNLIMITED NIGHTS UNLIMITED WEEKEND Wherever Minutes $99 99 PER MO UNLIMITED NIGHTS UNLIMITED WEEKEND Wherever Minutes $129 99 PER MO Simple Answers Simple Solutions Simply Wireless S Simply Wireless T.

PAGE 2B The University Daily Kansan 1B sports commentary Tuesday, September 16, 2003 Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Schedule change aids Jayhawks When Kansas football coach Mark Mangino decided to alter the 2003 schedule at the last minute, the change for the most part, went unnoticed. The Jayhawks are in preparation for next week's home contest against Jacksonville State. a Division I-AA opponent. The page, taken from Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder's book, will help the young Jayhawks more than anyone would have imagined. The original 2003 slate had Kansas traveling Sept. 20 for a meeting with the San Diego State Aztecs — yes, the same Aztecs that nearly upended defending national champion Ohio State two weeks ago in Columbus, Ohio. It would have been the Jayhawks' third straight game against a Mountain West conference school. ince school. Instead, Mangino made the decision to buy out the game for $50,000 and pay $250,000 for the Gamecocks to come to Lawrence. The revised schedule gives the Jayhawks seven home games on this season's 12-game schedule. season's 12-game schedule. Back when the change was made, it appeared as though Kansas was playing chicken by lightening its load, but now it looks brilliant. looks bright. With a 2-1 record and the start of the conference season just two weeks away, the Jayhawks are looking for every advantage possible as the Big 12 Conference season will include games with Nebraska, Kansas State, Missouri, Texas A&M and Colorado, all nationally ranked opponents. This is exactly where the genius of the schedule alteration comes in. Perhaps the most significant of these games will be the conference opener Sept. 27 at Memorial Stadium against archival Missouri. Defeating Missouri at home could be a momentous occasion for the Kansas football program as a whole and signal the turning of the proverbial corner towards future success. In this case, why take the risk of losing on the road to a team of equal stature when you can have a final home tune-up to build some extra confidence before the most important game of the season? Also, with more people in town for Family Weekend, seeing Kansas go up against a weaker opponent helps to impress the few thousand extra fans that will be in the stands, therefore maybe drawing them back in the future. The last time Kansas played a I-AA opponent on Family Weekend was in 2000, when the Jayhawks dusted Southern Illinois by a count of 42-0. Back then, Kansas did not have the fortune of playing an important home game the next weekend to build off of the excitement of a shutout. If Kansas can put the smack on Jacksonville State like it did Southern Illinois, the potential sellout crowd for the Missouri game may consist of more crimson and blue than black and puke. Most around here make fun of Bill Snyder because of the pansies he schedules the Wildcats to play early in the season, but moderation is OK. Playing three of them in one season proves nothing about your team, but sprinkling them in once in a while can propel a team to a better conference season. Hopefully, this one pays off. Greene is a Vernon Hills, Ill., senior in journalism Golfteam lost in rough Coarse opening game on unfamiliar terrain handicaps men's team By Ryan Colaiani correspondents@kansan.com Kansan correspondent The Riesling Hundred is a prestigious golf tournament held in Germany every four years. It features top players from around the world competing for the coveted title. The event is known for its high stakes and competitive atmosphere, with players battling for supreme ranking in the championship standings. The Riesling Hundred has become one of the most popular golf tournaments in Europe, attracting millions of visitors each year. The Kansas men's golf season got off to a rough start this past weekend at the Ridges Intercollegiate in Tennessee. Despite junior Andrew Price's sixth place individual finish, the team struggled and finished 12th in the tough, 18-team field. team held. "I am surprised that we finished where we did considering the way we played," Randall said. "We beat some ranked teams, which shows that once we get things together, we can be a pretty good team." Eleven of the teams participating finished in the Top 25 last season, including the reigning national champions, Clemson. "We are starting off like we did last year, and we are trying to get away from that," Price said referring to the team's poor starts the past few seasons. poor starts the place up. Price was the lone Jayhawk under par, as he finished two under in the three round tournament. Price double- bogeyed his final hole of the tournament and without that, would have finished in fourth place. In the first round, junior Kevin Ward was two under after the 14th hole, but bogeyed the final four holes to finish two over. Ward finished at seven over par in a tie for 41st place. "Ward played well in every round, but struggled on the last few holes of each round," Randall said. "Closing the deal is very important." The biggest disappointment of the tournament was the play of senior Tyler Hall who was 15 over in the first round, withdrew from the second, and was 10 over in the third round. "When you are not confident playing on the type of course that they played on, it makes it even more difficult," Randall said. "He is a good player and I know he will bounce back." Sophomore Ryan Rainer was even par in his final round and finished in 34th place at five over. Freshman Tyler Docking finished in 81st place at 18 over par. Randall said some of the players struggled but it was to be expected in the first tournament of the year. The rough at the Ridges proved to be deadly for Kansas golfers, Randall said. The length of the rough ranged from 8 inches to 4 feet, he said. Junior Andrew price netted the lowest score on the Jayhawks golf team this weekend and placed sixth in the Ridges intercollegiate tournament. The men's golf team finished 12th overall. Randall said the rough was longer than he expected and if a player missed a fairway he lost his ball. Randall will use practice this week to determine the lineup for the Kansas Invitational on Monday and Tuesday at Alvamar Country Club. Randall said there may be some lineup changes. Edited by Abby Sidesinger there may be some insept changes. "These guys have been playing individually all summer so it is a change for them." Randall said. "It affects the way they play, sometimes they would like to go for it on some shots,but in the back of their minds they know that this could hurt the team." Perkins announces priority seating plan By John Domoney jdomoney@kansan.com Kansan sports writer Ever since Lew Perkins became the athletics director in July, he has dealt with high expectations. "Everybody wants us to be self sufficient," Perkins said of the athletics department. "They want us to have the best teams, the best athletes. How do you do that? You have to raise revenue." Perkins said that priority seating for men's basketball games in Allen Fieldhouse was one way of generating the revenue necessary to keep Kansas teams in the hunt for championships. The priority seating plan will require season ticket-holders to donate money to the Williams Fund to keep the seats they now have. Perkins said the plan was not intended for people to lose their seats. Instead, it will reward those who PETER HUNTLEY in the huddle He said a priority seating plan could bring in between $3 million to $5 million per year for the Athletics Department's budget. Perkins said the priority seating would begin in the 2004-2005 basketball season. money and will reshuffle those who do not donate as much. The Williams Fund provides scholarships for student athletes. Perkins Priority seating for men's basketball is not a new idea at Kansas. In 2000, Bob Frederick, former athletics director, began to look at the idea of priority seating, but faculty, staff and students were not subject to the plan. Frederick never put the plan into use, and his successor, Al Bohl, dropped the idea. But when Perkins came to Kansas, he saw the need for priority seating. At the University of Connecticut, Perkins developed a similar plan for men's basketball seating. He said it worked well after some initial complaints. "As a member of the KUAC board I am fully aware of the budget challenges, Don Steeples, a vice provost and KUAC board member, said he had mixed feelings on the issue. Priority seating will force season ticket holders to donate to the Williams Fund to get better seats at Allen Fieldhouse.

Royalstake series from Tigers The Associated Press DETROIT — Trying to avoid setting the post-1900 record for losses, the Detroit Tigers keep coming up against teams fighting for playoff spots.

"They beat us in the first game, but now we've started to get some momentum. We need to keep that and take it into the next series." Kansas City remained three games behind Minnesota, which took over sole possession of the AL Central lead by winning at Cleveland, and closed within 2 1/2 games of idle Chicago. 1/2 games of rule coaching. "That's a good team, and they are still competing for a playoff spot," Tigers manager Alan Trammell said. "They looked flat when we beat them on Friday, and I thought maybe they were done, but they've come back and played three very good games. Now we are the ones looking flat again." ing hat again. At 38-11, the Tigers have the most defeats in the majors since the 1965 New York Mets lost 112 times and need five wins in their final 13 games to avoid matching the modern-day record of 120 losses, set by the 1962 Mets. "We made a gallant effort again tonight, and it got away from us in the end," Trammell said. That's just how things have been this year." Randa tied his career high for RBIs. He hit a three-run homer in the ninth, and Aaron Guel homered later in the inning. Raul Ibanez had three hits and scored three times, and Brent Mayne homered for the Royals. "If we take care of business, we are going to be there at the end of the season." Ibanez said. "We've got to play Chicago tough and be ready if Minnesota falters."

In his last two starts, Knotts has given up 14 runs in six innings. "I really don't have any answers right now." he said. "Not for today and not for this season. I'm going to have a lot to think about in the offseason." Detroit had a chance to take a 1-0 lead in the first but, with cleanup hitter Dmitri Young batting, Alex Sanchez easily was thrown out at the plate by Anderson while trying for a rare delayed steal of home. Trammell said that Sanchez attempted the play on his own. own. "I think that, in a situation like that, with their best RBI guy at the plate, trying to steal home might be a little too tricky." Anderson said. "But if you want to give me an out, I'll take it." After Knottis held the Royals hitless in the first two innings, they hit for the cycle in the span of five batters while scoring four runs in the third. With one out, Mayne hit a 405-foot homer over the right-center field scoreboard. After Angel Berroa walked, Carlos Beltran tripled off the scoreboard to make it 2-0. make it 2-0.

"A solo homer is no big deal — that's going to happen to everyone in this game. But it looked like it affected him for the rest of the inning, and suddenly he goes from having great stuff in the first two innings to being out of the game in the third." Detroit closed to 4-2 in the bottom of the third on a sacrifice fly by Shane Halter and a RBI single by Bobby Higginson. son.

Billy Cundiff turned into one of his biggest wins. Cundiff, who tied the game at the end of regulation with a 52-yard field goal, tied an NFL record with the game-winner from 25 yards with 5:57 left in overtime to give the Dallas Cowboys a 35-32 victory over the New York Giants. It was Parcells' first win as Dallas' coach and it came over the team he led to two Super Bowl victories. The last field goal was Cundiff's seventh of the game to tie the record held by three others and it came after an eightplay, 51-yard drive led by Quincy Carter. The Giants rallied from a 29-14 fourth-quarter deficit and seemed to have the game won when Matt Bryant kicked a 30-yard field goal with 11 seconds left to give them a 32-29 lead. Carter, who finished 24-of-39 for 298 yards, led the Cowboys 51 yards on the winning drive. The key play was a 23-yard pass to former Giant Dan Campbell, who made his first catch for Dallas after signing in the offseason. For most of the final quarter, it looked like Parcells' Cowboys (1-1) would go down valiantly. Parcells watched helplessly as Kerry Collins rallied the Giants (1-1) from a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit to a 32-29 lead before Bryant's kick gave the Cowboys just enough field position for the tying kick.

"As far as my other thoughts about the seating plan, I guess I don't have a whole lot to say since there is not a plan currently." In addition to the priority seating, Perkins said he wanted to create a section for faculty and staff. Faculty and staff seating would work much like student seating — a certain section of seats will be set aside for faculty and staff members. "If you want to sit at halfcourt, then you will be a part of the points system." Perkins said. Steeples said the plan was in response to how much it costs to support student athletes at the university level. When the plan is actually drawn up, which will probably be next year, Steeples said he was confident Perkins would be fair. University staff and faculty members can become involved in the priority seating plan if they prefer better seats than their section would provide. "I know Lew has indicated that faculty and staff will have input in putting the plan together," Steeples said. "It is Lew's responsibility and the athletic board's responsibility to develop this plan so everybody can be a part of it." "It is necessary for us to become financially responsible," Perkins said. "We're in the minority in the nation in this for not doing it." Steeples also said there should be no confusion about the possibility of staff and faculty members losing their seats. Even with some of the criticism that Perkins has received for the plan he continues to defend it based on the national trend. members looking to kick faculty and staff members out of the Fieldhouse even if they don't contribute to the Williams Fund."

Texas had chances to come back, but the final two Longhorns drives ended on downs. Mack Brown said Arkansas's offense clicked the whole game. While Oklahoma won its game, Texas and Colorado both lost to unranked teams. Texas was physically dominated by Arkansas in the 38-28 loss.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Saturday night's meeting against Georgia Tech was supposed to be the game where Florida State coach Bobby Bowden would become the winningest coach in Atlantic Coast Conference history. But that moment almost never came. It took a miracle fourth quarter rally and some fancy footwork by quarterback Chris Rix in order for the Seminoles to prevail and win in a narrow 14-13 decision. Bowden tied former long-time Virginia coach George Welsh in last weekend's 35-10 victory over Maryland for most ACC wins and surpassed the legendary coach in exhilarating fashion by beating the Yellow jackets in a game that was not decided until cornerback Pat Watkins intercepted Tech quarterback Reggie Ball with 29 seconds left. It took Welsh 19 seasons to achieve what Bowden did in 12 years of conference competition. The 86th ACC victory for the 28-year tenured coach at FSU was one for the record books as the Seminoles (3-0, 3-0 ACC) improved to 12-0 against the Yellow Jackets in conference competition. Bowden quipped at how it nearly slipped away. "That was nearly a game that you already had wrapped up before you went out there," he said. "I mean, you doubt you're going to win this one." The modest Bowden credited his players in securing the all-time record. "It was a very meaningful win," he said. "I'm thankful but I haven't done anything to deserve it." For the first time since the national championship Orange Bowl against Oklahoma in January 2001, FSU was shut out in the ELEPHANT COLUMBIA STATE GT first half. From the first offensive play for Florida State -- in which receiver Graphonso Thorpe fumbled the football on a trick play -- the Seminoles were unable to get anything going. The one scoring opportunity that arose early in the fourth quarter crumbled like an avalanche after Tech imitated FSU's first quarter defensive stance with one of its own. GT Down 6-0, the Seminoles were faced with first-and-goal on the Georgia Tech 3-yard line when Chris Rix threw an ill-advised pass into triple coverage that was returned by the Yellow Jackets 47 yards. Two plays later the defense gave up its first touchdown of the season by allowing PJ. Daniels to rush 47 yards into the end zone. "When you're playing against good Division I teams, on a given day anything can happen," cornerback Bryant McFadden said. "That just shows what kind of defense we had. We faced a lot of adversity out there today." Prior to the fourth quarter, Florida State was held in check offensively and Rix was ineffective with two interceptions and no touchdowns. But momentum swayed in the final quarter of play and Rix responded by running in a touchdown on a quarterback sneak out of the shotgun formation. He was shaken on the scoring drive that cut Tech's lead to six but returned on the next series after the defense held off Tech's offense and gave the Seminoles another opportunity to score. This time Rix rallied the offense to a six-play, 57-yard game capping touchdown drive. PK. Sam caught the 5-yard toss from Rix that tied the game and Xavier Beitia kicked the point after that proved to be the difference in the game. "We were just determined," Rix said. "We weren't going out until that game was over. We weren't going to let Georgia Tech take the game from us in the end and roll over." A crowd that, at times, looked guilty of last season's conduct by condemning Rix for his performance ultimately worked to the Seminoles' advantage. The crowd noise kept Tech in check on its final desperation drive. Tech never got the chance to rely on its field goal kicker after FSU elected to go for a first down with a little over two minutes left in the game and the Seminoles ahead by one. The flustered freshman quarterback for Tech never looked comfortable on fourth-and-seven as he threw the ball into the hands of FSU's Watkins. It was the final stinger of the evening for the Yellow jackets. "It hurts," Galley said. "Any time you give that kind of effort and you come up short it hurts." Rix completed just 50 percent of his passes for 160 yards. The performance contributed to Bowden's one-on-one sideline chat with him before the offense's last possession of the game. "Well, (I told him) just what a great job he did of hanging in there and showing a lot of heart," Bowden said. "It would have been so easy to quit." Bowden acknowledged that the strength of this year's team is its will to win. "Last year's team would have laid down," he said. "Last year's team would not have come back. This year the kids just simply would not give up. So they did win the battle of the heart. I thought that Georgia Tech won the physical part, but I felt like we won the heart." St. Louis defeats Milwaukee 11-2 Cardinals end losing streak The Associated Press Tomko allowed six hits over eight innings and drove in three runs as the Cardinals snapped a four-game losing streak with an 11-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers yesterday night. ST.LOUIS—Brett Tomko was on the mound for Tony La Rusa's 2,000th career victory—and for No. 2,001. That's how tough it's been for the St. Louis Cardinals lately. “It’s been a while since we won one,” La Russa said. “It was a good-looking game.” Tomko went 2-for-4, including a two-run single in the second and an RBI single in the third, as the Cardinals moved within five games of idle Houston in the NL Central. Albert Pujols hit his 42nd home run, leaving him tied with Barry Bonds for the NL lead. Jim Edmonds also homered for the Cardinals, who scored seven times in the first three innings off Wes Obermueller. "It's never over till it's over," Tomko said. "We've just got to keep winning games and win as many as we can and see what happens." Tomko (13-8) didn't allow a baserunner until Keith Ginter homered with one out in the fourth. Bill Hall also homered "He was changing speeds and just got us off-balance," Hall said. "It didn't help that he got out to a big lead on us, and he was able to get in a comfort zone." leading off the sixth. Tomko, who threw a complete game his last outing against the Rockies, struck out two and walked none. geen a commo Tomko has a 5.27 ERA, but has won seven of his last eight decisions since Aug. 2. He's 11-3 since June 19. "The stats are going to be what they are and they might not look pretty to some people," Tomko said. "To me, it's been a good year because I've battled back from a lot of adversity." Obermueller (0-5) is winless in 11 career starts over the last two seasons. He lasted 2 1-3 innings — his shortest outing of the season — and allowed seven runs on seven hits. seven times. "The roof caved in on him." Ned Yost, Brewers manager, said. "It's all part of being a young pitcher and learning how to maintain your poise on the mound and staying aggressive." The Cardinals took a 7-0 lead after three innings, scoring one more run than they had while getting swept over the weekend in Houston. In the second, Edmonds, Edgar Renteria and Chris Widger walked to load the bases. Tomko hit a two-run single, and Bo Hart added an RBI single to make it 3- 0. Cardinals Edmonds ended a 4-for-29 stump with his 37th homer leading off the Cardinals' four-run third. Widger, Tomko and Orlando Palmeiro also had run-scoring hits. Renteria had an RBI single in the fourth, and Pujols homered off Glendon Rusch in the fifth to make it 9-1. Notes: Richie Sexson got doubled off second in the seventh when he ran on John Vander Wal's fly out, forgetting there was only one out. Pujols has 113 homers his first three seasons, second-most in major league history. He passed Eddie Mathews and needs one more to tie Ralph Kiner. Pujols leads the majors with 199 hits, and is batting a major league-best .364. The victory ended a string of seven straight series-opening losses for St. Louis.making a leap, and even more who are under the impression that all it takes is a I-A conference to land in, there are plenty of obstacles in the way, but also reason for optimism. OU to adjust against UCLA By Ryan McGhee Oklahoma Daily (U. Oklahoma) NORMAN, Okla. — The topranked Oklahoma Sooners beat Fresno State on Saturday and now look to complete their nonconference schedule against UCLA. The big-play capability of OU's passing game helped the Sooners to a 38-0 halftime lead against Fresno State. Jason White finished the day with 338 passing yards, his most this season White had four touchdown passes in the first half, including one to Brandon Jones. Jones has now scored a touchdown in all three games this season. Coach Bob Stoops said the Sooners' success in the air helped set up the running game. On Saturday, the Sooners gained 212 yards on the ground. UCLA's rush defense is ranked 18th in the nation. On Saturday, it held Illinois to 67 yards on the ground. Bruins quarterback Matt Moore is expected to miss Saturday's game with a bruised left tibia. His replacement, Drew Olson, completed 11-of-31 passes for 95 yards against Illinois. Oklahoma linebacker Lance Mitchell is out with a knee injury, and could be out for the rest of the season. The coaching staff was unsure who would start in Mitchell's place. Jury considers Notre Dame player's fate in assault case By Observer Staff The Observer (U. Notre Dame) SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Jury deliberations began yesterday in former Notre Dame football player Donald Dykes' trial, where a student alleged he raped her. The defense rested Friday after calling only three witnesses, while the prosecution had called 13 since the trial began Tuesday. Dykes, who pleaded not guilty, did not testify during his trial. He is charged with rape, conspiracy to commit rape and sexual battery. The woman maintains she was gang raped by the four former players, who are being tried separately. John Scroggins, co-defendant Justin Smith's roommate, testified Friday that he did not hear any screaming or sounds of distress from Smith's room, which is adjacent to his, that night. Michael Blakesley, a doctor at Memorial Hospital who examined the woman in the emergency room six days after the alleged incident, also testified for the defense and said she had no injuries consistent with rage. On Thursday, Bill Kirk, associate vice president for student affairs, testified and said it was university policy to provide students who claimed they were wic- tims of sexual assault with information regarding Notre Dame's disciplinary process and contacting police or other support services. Kirk denied telling the woman to avoid contacting the police, but he admitted that he possibly told her it would be difficult to contact the police and pursue an investigation. Rachel Lee, a friend of Smith's, testified Thursday and said she overheard Smith telling Dykes that they and Abram Elam needed to discuss their stories and Dykes nodded in agreement. The prosecution also called a DNA analyst who said the woman's blood and Dykes' semen were found on Smith's comforter. During Elam's trial -- the first of the four trials -- Elam, Dykes, Lorenzo Crawford and Justin Smith all testified, offering their versions of what occurred March 28 at Smith's house and maintained the sexual acts were consensual. Elam was convicted of sexual battery and acquitted of criminal deviate conduct and conspiracy to commit rape. The trials for the two remaining football players will begin later this year.

Wellhausen has focused attention on the issue of safety in residence halls. "We talk about this stuff all the time," said Ken Stoner, director of student housing. "Even when there hasn't been an incident, Safety is a huge priority." an incident Safety Office. Wellhausen was smoking a cigarette on a ledge or in a window outside his room on the seventh floor of Oliver Hall when he fell early Friday morning, according to Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office. Stoner said the ledges were never meant to be stood upon, but are actually screens that block sun from rooms below them. The ledges also cool the building by acting like fins in a radiator, funneling cool air over the outside of the building. While not structurally essential, Stoner said removing the ledges themselves would be expensive and would require a complete overhaul of the cooling system to increase capacity. This is contrary to information received for an article in yesterday's University Daily Kansan. Removing wire screens from windows is a violation of student housing policy, but no system is in place for enforcement outside room inspections. If a student is caught, they are written up, and discipline follows regular residence hall procedures. The department is considering other options to keep students off the ledges. Fire codes do not require windows to be able to open, Stoner said. But inoperable windows would cause other problems, particularly with ventilation, which is a key service of the windows. If smoke appears in the building, there has to be some way to get it out. some way to get it out. "Smoke is a bigger life safety issue than fire," he said. Stoner said the windows are also important to keep the building comfortable. Heating and cooling systems take a couple of days to switch over because residence halls are so large, Stoner said. The windows allow residents to control their own temperature. tam to keep the building warm. "During the spring and fall, it would hurt temperature regulation," he said. "Windows need to be operable for the air conditioning and heating systems to work." their own temperature. The department also is considering the possibility of installing cameras to monitor when students have removed their screens and imposing fines for doing so, Stoner said. It would be the first punitive fine the department has ever levied. Some residents think imposing a fine would help enforce the policy. "A fine would probably be a good idea," said Andrew Kissel, Montgomery, Ala., freshman and resident of Hashinger Hall. "Just to make people aware that you're not supposed to be out there." Stoner said the fine would also encourage residents to monitor each other. residents so much. "It might make a difference for the roommate," he said. "It might generate peer pressure within the room." If pressure Kissel said he thought some students might find cameras intrusive. Monica Reynolds, Eudora freshman and Oliver Hall resident, also disapproved of the possibility of the cameras. "I think a camera would be a little overkill," she said, "A fine would be understandable and wouldn't create a problem for anybody, but cameras would be too expensive." be too expensive. Stoner said regardless of student housing policy, ending dangerous behavior was ultimately up to students. was ultimately up to "The bottom line is everything is safe the way it was intended to be used," he said.

But when it comes to recycling, it provides inspiration. A design for a recycling center similar to one in place at Missouri passed in a resolution at last week's Student Senate meeting. A trip to examine the facilities and program used at Missouri set up a plan for a system, although Missouri has a full-time staff and an online outreach and extension program, goals still off in the distance for the University. "We want a recycling center that will service the entire campus and also be used by the Oread neighborhood," Sterner said. the distance for the James Owen, School of Law senator, said he was approached this summer about the possibility and, along with Nick Sterner, community affairs director, researched the center. The current system of recycling calls for the storing of collected materials in storage trailers on West Campus. The University owns one 1.5-ton truck for collections and has 50 multi-use recycling receptacles in 30 buildings around campus. Sterner said. Sterner and Owen said they would like to provide a place for off-campus students and other city residents to bring their recyclables. Owen said people did not want to go all the way to Wal-Mart, Lawrence's only full-service recycling center, at 3300 Iowa St. "This will make it more convenient for them," he said. Office paper, newspaper, aluminum, #1 PETE plastic bottles, and cardboard are all collected by part-time student workers. The Department of Environmental Stewardship handles the collection and storage of the accepted waste. 3 and after the trailers are filled, contractors, such as Paper Stock Dealers of Topeka, come and empty the trailers. Contractors will still have to come to the new facility, but they will do so less often because the building can hold more and would have the luxury of pulling up to a building designed for recycling — not just a trailer. Funding for the current office and its workers comes from a $2 yearly student fee and matching administrative funds. Owen and Sterner do not expect increased student fees to maintain the new center. They said additional funds would come from the deletion of other charges currently included in standard SEE RECYCLING ON PAGE 7A in other words "Everybody recognizes that John loved that show.

David Dunfield, mayor, proclaimed the week of Sept. 17 to 23 as "Constitution Week." Representatives from the Betty Washington chapter of Lawrence's Daughters of the American Revolution accepted the official proclamation. Bill Crowe and Marci Francisco of the Sesquicentennial Commission handed out cookies in honor of Lawrence's 149th birthday. Commissioners discussed the median in the 4100 block of W. Sixth Street. The median was put in place to prevent drivers from turning left from the central exit of the Hy-Vee grocery store. Doug Garber, owner of the property at 4101 W.

Under the ordinance that took effect Friday, dog owners could face fines of up to $500. But most people who violate it will get off with a warning for now because animal control workers said they wanted to work with dog owners and give them time to comply with the new rule. Animal control workers will not drive the streets looking for dogs that are tethered but will investigate complaints, he said. Enforcement will be on a case-by-case basis. The Associated Press At least 28 cities and six counties nationwide, Including Austin, Texas, and Palm Beach County, Fla., restrict the tethering of animals. Wichita's ordinance does not prohibit tethering but prohibits tying up dogs for more than one hour at a time.

IT CONSISTENTLY IN THE WORK OF HUMAN EXPLORATION AND CREATIVITY, AND CAN BE USED FOR ENERGY, SOLAR POWER, AND AERODYNAMIC PURPOSES. IT IS A WONDERFUL ADVENTURE FOR ALL. Santos Núñez, director of the Multicultural Resource Center read from Ana Castillo's poem. We would like you to know, at the Hispanic Heritage Month kick-off at the Kansas Union in the Hawk's Nest last night. The microphone was opened to anyone who wanted express their feelings. By Johanna M. Maska jmaska@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Victor Aguilar didn't want to be a monkey. In grade-school gym class, children taunted another boy who climbed up a rope the fastest. "I'm Italian." Aguilar said an American but an African was Mexican too but he didn't admit it. "Oh, he's Mexican — they're monklets," a boy told Aguilar. But Aguilar knows now that stereotypes don't make a culture, and he certainly knows that Mexicans are not monkeys. The Dodge City freshman has embraced his culture. Aguilar spoke at the Hispanic Heritage month kick-off last night at the Kansas Union in the Hawk's Nest. The kick-off, in its first year, was an open-mic event featuring poetry, personal stories and music. "I am proud of where I come from." Aquilar said. Aguilar is the son of an illegal immigrant from Mexico. He is the first in his family to graduate high school and the first to come to college. Aguilar was one of more than 10 students to share at the event. Hispanic Heritage month lasts from September to Oct. 15. The University of Kansas Multicultural Resource Center is sponsoring 23 events to celebrate and highlight Hispanic-American culture. Multicultural Resource Center director Santos Nunez shared her culture with a poem. "We would like you to know, we are all not brown," Núñez said as she read from Ana Castillo's book. My Father was a Toltec. "We never claim to be a homogenous race." For that reason Hispanic Heritage month includes a variety of programs that focus on the diversity of Hispanic-American culture. “Diversity Fiesta,” from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday on the Strong Hall lawn will feature a wide-range of Hispanic crafts and facts. of Hispanic Civilization "When Blacks and Browns throw down," an event at 7:30 tonight in the Multicultural Resource Center, will go further to compare Hispanic-American and African-American cultures. The events are intended to break down stereotypes and promote pride. Gender differences are up for discussion too. "Luscious Latinas — the evolution of a stereotype" and its counterpart, "Muy Macho — a session for Latinos to speak out" are planned to draw people who will Melanie Weiser, president of the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, said she realized a yearning for the cultural discussion late in life. talk openly about gender stereotypes within the Hispanic culture. Weiser is now outspoken about her Jewish and Hispanic heritage. She said she wanted people to find their way to events this month, because it is intended for everyone. "Until I came to college, I took my culture for granted." Weiser said. -Edited by JJ Hensley By Paul Kramer pkramer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Jayhawk Express gets going After confusing bus riders for the first four weeks of school, the Jayhawk Express is showing signs of finding its niche on campus. The free route, established as a KUUnited campaign promise, has hit some early snags, including letting students know the bus is free and that the route will take students through campus, said Patrick Quinn, off-campus senator and transportation board member. Susie Breeze, Express driver, said she had noticed a small change in riders since the first couple weeks of the program. On two recent afternoons there were, at most, five students Jayhawk express campus route The free bus route through campus, Jayhawk Express, makes a figure-eight. It starts at 16 minutes and 46 minutes past each hour at the Kansas Union. Source: KK On Wheel The bus comes back up to campus at the entrance past the Dole Human Development Center. After the Union, the bus travels west through campus past the Jayhawk Bookstore and then down to Robinson Center. Again, passing through campus, the bus then turns north at the Chi Omega fountain and swings past JRP Hall and Memorial Stadium. "They are starting to know the bus, but I still pull up and tell them where I am going, to avoid confusion."

The problem is that although there is a core group of dedicated riders, the group is small. The Express begins at the Kansas Union 16 minutes past each hour and returns to the Union at 46 minutes past each hour, stopping at many campus locations. the hill to campus. The last stop is 11th and Indiana streets, before reaching the Union, thirty minutes later. The next stop is Ninth and Indiana streets, where Breece said she picked up a lot of students who didn't want to walk up the hill to campus. taking advantage of the bus at one time. Quinn said low numbers were a result of the program being in its beginning phases "It is constantly being evaluated," Quinn said. "It's about getting the awareness out there. We are looking at putting posters up on the buildings that the bus stops at, and may be putting ads on the side of the bus." Quinn said the route's value would not be seen until the weather got colder and winter arrived. arrived. In the meantime, those that do ride the bus are enjoying the convenience. Bono, a member of Delta Delta venience. "It takes me to JRP and I can just walk to my house from there," said Jennifer Bono, Overland Park sophomore, a regular rider of the route. Delta, said that she didn't know of anyone else in her house who used the Express. Lisa Gray, Girard junior, said she rode the bus almost everyday because it took her by her house on Ninth and Indiana streets. Also getting off at that location was Chris Maute, Northbrook Ill..junior. Maute enjoyed the free ride up Indiana Street to campus. "It's definitely a great idea," he said. "I don't have a bus pass, so this bus is great." Until the rest of campus catches on to what Maute and a few others have discovered, Breece said she would continue to yell out destinations in an attempt to attract students who do not know about the program. — Edited by Michael Owell KAITE BECKINSALL SCOUT SPEEDMAN UNDERWORLD R INSTRUCTOR EnterTheUnderworld.com IN THE VERSION SEPTEMBER 197 Portrait of a Garmin engineer head: creative, intelligent, problem-solver helmet: protects important gray matter mouth: ability to communicate great ideas GPS III: cool GARMIN satellite navigation receiver shoulders: willing to shoulder responsibility heart: team- oriented heart of a servant GPSiphone: GARMIN NovTalk GPScellular bike: field-tests own designs legs: able to go the distance feet: grounded but agile COOL PRODUCTS.

KU CALENDAR GIRL 1 Elizabeth Willy for The University Daily Kansan perspective Gay blood donations issue unclear Some issues just won't die. But the people they impact will. Take, for instance, the tortured question of whether sexually active gay men should be allowed to donate blood. My answer is a qualified no, and is less clear every day. When I last wrote about this issue, in March 1999 in The University Daily Kansan, the answer was much clearer. The HIV test used by most blood banks at that time tested not for the virus itself, but for antibodies to the virus. As a result, there was a "window period" after infection, during which time potential blood donors could test negative for HIV even if they were infected and capable of passing the disease to others. Because of that window period — which was often many months long — it was essential for blood banks to make decisions about whether to accept a donor's blood based in part on which risk groups that donor belonged to. That meant asking a lot of nosy questions about sexual behavior, among other things. Answering "yes" to most questions meant a one-year deferral. COMMENTARY PENNELLIAN CAMPBELL But one question was different: "Male donors: Have you had sex with another man, even one time, since 1977?" Saying yes wouldn't get you banned from donating blood for a year, but for the rest of your life. "I can see their point, but blood donation is not a matter of equal opportunity," William Dixon, a Watkins Memorial Health Center physician, told a Kansas reporter in 1999. "It is both reasonable and good public policy that men who have had sex with other men not be allowed to donate blood." Rachel Robson opinion@kansan.com Gay rights groups protested that such a lifetime deferral was unfair. I chimed in, in a March 12, 1999, column. And I telllush that sort of. And I will think that things have changed. But since 1999, things have changed. Our ability to detect HIV in blood has improved drastically, and three separate tests for the virus are now routinely used to screen donations. The demographics of the HIV epidemic are slowly shifting. Gay men are still the group most at risk for new HIV infection, accounting for 42 percent of all incident HIV cases while representing a mere 5 percent of the total U.S. population, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports. But in 1999, gay men accounted for 49 percent of new HIV cases — so its fraction of the total American HIV burden is, happily, down. Scientists who study the safety of our blood supply have similarly mixed feelings. The Food and Drug Administration, the agency which mandates what questions all volunteer blood centers must ask donors, commissioned a study in 2000 to determine whether allowing gay men to donate would compromise the blood supply. That study found that permitting men who had not had a homosexual encounter in five years to give would add an average of 1.7 additional HIV-contaminated units to the blood supply every year. Removing the ban on gay male blood donors entirely would mean about six additional HIV-infected units going to unsuspecting patients every year. Right now, with the restrictions in place, about 10 HIV-tainted units — of the total 14 million units donated — enter the system every year. That study has since been confirmed by other researchers. Even with improved tests to detect HIV, a change to FDA rules that would allow gay men who have abstained from sex for the past year to donate blood would result in about one additional HIV-infected unit entering the blood supply in the United States every year, research in the journal. Transfusion, showed in January 2003. Affording this high-risk group the privilege of giving blood would increase the total number of blood donors by just 2 percent. So is it worth it? Is a 2-percent increase in blood donations and the knowledge that we're no longer discriminating against gay men worth the handful of new, transfusion-borne HIV cases that would inevitably result from a change to FDA policy? Are those lives worth more, or less, than our longing for equality? I think those lives are worth more. I think the FDA policy should remain unchanged. But I no longer know. Robson is a Baldwin City doctoral candidate in pathology. editorial board Death serves as reminder to safety precautions The editorial board expresses its condolences to the relatives and friends of Eric I. Wellhausen. Wellhausen's death is a tragic reminder of what can happen when issues of safety are ignored. The Department of Student Housing needs to alert students to the dangers of removing window screens and urge them to exercise responsibility. KU Public Safety Office officials say the Mount Prospect, Ill., freshman died because he fell from his seventh-floor room. He was either sitting in his window or standing on the ledge while smoking a cigarette. This was not the first time that Wellhausen had exited his room through the window to smoke, nor was he the first student to do so. In 2001, two similar incidents occurred: A student fell from the eighth floor of Hashinger Hall and shattered both ankles. Another student fell from the fourth floor of McCollum Hall and suffered minor injuries. In 1994, a student died after falling from the fourth floor of Corbin Hall. Authorities suspected sleepwaking, but the student had twice the legal limit of alcohol in his blood. Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said these incidents created a constant struggle for the department. He said the department could employ any of multiple options to prevent further accidents from students falling from the ledges, but not all were practical or necessarily effective. Suggestions have ranged from removing the ledges to reinstating smoking rooms in the residence halls. Removing the ledges, which were designed to shade sunlight from the windows of rooms below them, would strain the air conditioners. And changing the no-smoking policy introduces the increased risk of fire, which is a larger danger than students walking out on ledges. Stoner said the department was considering various options, but one of the most notable is inspired by measures to prevent speeding traffic. At some stop lights, a camera snaps a photo of a car when it runs a red light, which enables the entity in charge of the camera to bill the owner of the vehicle with a ticket. Stoner said the procedure could be used in residence halls to record the moments when screens are removed from windows. Similarly, residents would receive a bill, accompanied by the photograph. It's not too much to ask that students be responsible. As adults, they should remain in control of their faculties to make rational decisions. The Department of Student Housing should educate residents on the dangers of removing window screens and walking out on the ledges. Though the majority of students recognize that crawling on a ledge is dangerous, the department must not disregard the minority. If students and housing work together to increase safety, incidents such as this will become a rarity.

The article described an isolated incident that occurred two years ago, and the hall alumna interviewed has not lived in Margaret Amini for two years. Each year new residents move into our hall, and these women bring new ideas and personalities to Margaret Amini. We now have two new classes of women who have no knowledge of this incident. Most of the older residents do not appreciate being put in the position of explaining this article to their peers. None of our current residents were contacted for this article, and we were quite surprised to see a story surrounding a two-year-old incident printed in the Kansan. The scholarship hall system emphasizes academics, community involvement, and leadership. Many residents of this system are leaders in the KU and Lawrence communities. Scholarship hall residents do live with a great deal of freedom, as the article states. The individual halls decide what types of events are acceptable, and Margaret Amini does not feel that a porn night can be a hall-sponsored event. We want all of our residents to feel included in our community and believe that such an event would make some residents feel uncomfortable. Events that our women organize on their own time for their own entertainment are not hall-sponsored activities, and the hall name is not attached to these events. Yesterday students in classes with our residents have asked them if they live in Margaret Amini, and some of our women were reluctant to claim that they live here. We do not want our hall's name attached to a "Snowy Porn Night." Most of us do not find this kind of activity acceptable as a hall event. "Snowy Porn Night" has not occurred since this one-time incident, and there have not been discussions as to its revival. In the future, please contact current residents to discover current events occurring in Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall.

A Japanese group played traditional instruments in a program called Michiko Fujimori and the Shouno Kai,Kai in Japanesemeans a group or assembly, and shou is a word describing birds in flight. Lindsey Gold/Kansan Michiko Fujimori and four other musicians played music depicting cherry blossoms falling to the ground, peacefulness of the sea and cold winter winds. Their program included music spanning the last 300 years. Rika Kubota, a member of the Japanese musical group Michiko Fujimori and Shou no Kai, played the koto, a traditional Japanese instrument at Swarthout Recital Hall in Murphy Hall yesterday. The Center for East Asian Studies co-sponsored the concert with the department of music and dance. "I think it's nice for people at KU to be exposed to a different tradition of sound, a different way of organizing sound in an artistic manner," said Elaine Gerbert, director of the Center for East Asian Studies. Center for Music Education It was the second concert in five days that featured non-Western music at Swarthout. Djembe Kaan performed West African percussion music at Swarthout Thursday evening. The smaller auditorium at Murphy Hall usually serves as a place to perform classical and jazz music. Fujimori has ties to Lawrence because her daughter, Yoko, studied at the University of Kansas. The group was scheduled to come to the University in September 2001 but was sent home from the Tokyo airport because of the events of Sept. 11, Gerbert said. Kyoto, Japan For the concert, Fujinom played stringed instruments called the koto and shamisen that differ in shape and style of performance. The koto has 13 strings and is typically six-feet-long. It lies on the ground and the musician kneels over the instrument to play it. The shamisen has three strings and is shaped like a banjo. Again, the musicians kneel to play it, but it is performed like a guitar. Musicians strike the strings with a bachi, the Japanese equivalent of a guitar pick. The result is a sharp, penetrating sound resembling a choked banjo. An instrument called the shakuhachi completed the ensemble. Held like a clarinet, it is made of bamboo and is known for its soft, wispy tone. Andrew Tsubaki, professor emeritus of theater and film and event organizer, said the instruments originated in China. The tradition of playing the instruments in Japan began in the late sixth century or early seventh century, he said. Ryan Carroll, Noel, Mo., junior became interested in the music with the help of his Japanese girlfriend who is also a student. who is also a teacher. "I think it's the distinctiveness of it, the difference between the Western cultures and the Eastern cultures, that draws me to it," he said. Through Tsubaki's interpreting, Fujimori said the audience would appreciate the history of the music and how it is still being played today. played to us. "That uniqueness being shared here is very meaningful," she said. Fujimori and two musicians from the group will demonstrate how to play the instruments at 1:30 p.m. today in 118 Murphy Hall. Edited by Cate Batchelder 6 'Americans,' 2'Britons reported held by U.S. ABU GHRAIB, Iraq — Six people claiming to be Americans and two who say they are British are in U.S. custody on suspicion of involvement in attacks on coalition forces, an American general said yesterday. They would be the first Westerners reported held in the insurrection against the U.S.-led occupation. world occupation. Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, who is in charge of coalition detention centers in Iraq, said they were considered security detainees, meaning they were suspected of involvement in guerrilla attacks. She did not identify them . If Westerners are actively involved in the resistance, it would deepen confusion about what groups are involved. Initially, the guerrilla fighters were thought to be Saddam loyalists, but in recent weeks U.S. officials have said they are being joined by foreign fighters, possibly members of the Al Qaeda terror network. London police arrest man for taunting NY magician LONDON—Police arrested a man yesterday who allegedly tried to cut the water line sustaining an American magician trying to live without food for 44 days in a box dangling near Tower Bridge. The magician, New Yorker David Blaine, reportedly was awakened by the suspect but was not injured. Police said they received a report at 4:45 a.m. that a man had climbed on to the water tower near Blaine's box and tried to cut through water and cable lines connected to the tower, but without success.

Skeptical society believes in itself By Meghan Brune mbrune@kansan.com Kansan staff writer On a campus filled with religious organizations, the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics fills a gap for those who question traditional beliefs. At this year's first SOMA meeting, president Stephanie Kirmer was approached by two international students from England. They told Kirmer that they thought the United States was "hung up" on religion. Kirmer, an atheist and Topeka sophomore, said the student organization was created to increase awareness on campus of secular beliefs. "They said that they noticed an intense religious presence on campus," Kirner said. know one." Kirmer said. "We are basically saying, 'Yes, atheists do exist and you probably According to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, there were 991,000 atheists and 902,000 agnostics in the United States in 2001. SOMA will have its third meeting of the year at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow at the International Room in the Kansas Union. In August, 15 to 20 students attended the first meeting, Kirmer said. This was up from last year, but she said she wanted membership to grow. The group works to be a welcoming environment to theists and agnostics. Paul Mirecki, chairman of the religious studies department and SOMA's advisers, said atheists did not believe in the existence of gods, while agnostics believed there was no way to know whether a higher power existed. Mirecki is an agnostic. The coupling of a religious studies professor and a group of non-religious students may seem ironic, but not to Mirecki. "It may not be typical, but it is natural for me because we share a lot of the same beliefs," Mirecki said. Despite these common views, Mirecki said that he did not advise the students in religion. He said that the group was independent and had established its own agenda. "SOMA is concerned with moral issues and the belief that religion hijacked morality," Mirecki said. Andrew Stangl, Wichita freshman and SOMA member, said he would be discussing extreme religious beliefs at the next meeting. After reading an article about a former Presbyterian priest — Paul Hill — Stangl said he questioned people's interpretations of their religion. Hill, an anti-abortion activist, was executed Sept. 3 for the double murder of abortion doctors. "He said he was proud to die and that he expected a great reward," Stangl said. He said he also questioned how a religion based on doing good could lead someone to murder. SOMA plans to have Clark Adams, a member of the secular organization directory Internet Infidels, speak at one of its meetings. It's a joint venture with two other groups — Individuals for Free Thought, at Kansas State University, and the Heartland Humanists. Mirecki said the activity was a good move for the growing group. Fall breezes in for allergy sufferers "They need to get noticed." Mirecki said. "They are too invisible on campus and in Kansas." Edited by Ehren Meditz By Kevin Kampwirth kkampwirth@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Kansas City, long renowned for its barbecue and blues music, is now known for its high fall allergy rate as well. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America recently released its list of the nation's top 50 Fall Allergy Capitals. Kansas City came in at number nine. Warren Frick, a specialist in pediatric and adult allergies, said he saw many patients this time of year. "Weed pollen and ragweed are the allergens that affect the most people in this area around this time," Frick said. An estimated 36 million Americans suffer from fall allergies, making it the fifth most prevalent chronic medical condition in the United States. Around mid-August, ragweed flowers are at their peak and begin to release pollen. One ragweed plant is capable of releasing about a billion grains of pollen. each of which can be carried in the air as far as 400 miles, according to www.allergies.com. Frick said that the heat, humidity and wind of the Kansas City area were all elements that made the ragged problem worse, and all of those factors were present in the area during fall. "Pollen counts peak in the morning," Frick said. "That's why most allergy sufferers are congested when they wake up." Mold is another allergen that is prevalent during fall in the Midwest. Gerald Goldstein, a specialist in allergy and immunization at KC Allergy and Asthma in Overland Park, said that weather played a big part in the especially high mold count. "After an extremely dry summer like the one we had and then all the recent rain, the conditions are ideal for mold spores to spawn," Goldstein said. In the fall, mold often grows in damp, dark places like gutters. soil and rotting wood. When trees begin to shed, leaf piles become another major spawning ground, according to the allergy foundation. Although complete avoidance of these allergens is almost impossible, Frick said there were steps one could take to combat some of the more severe symptoms. "Keeping windows in the house closed and running the airconditioning are two things we often recommend," Frick said. The next step is medication, which allergy sufferers spend an estimated $3.5 billion on annually, according to research by the University of Iowa. Daily antihistamines, such as Claritin and Allegra, and nasal sprays, such as Nasalcrom, worked pretty well to quell the symptoms of most people, Goldstein said. But there are those who need something stronger. "Allergy shots are the last resort and are for the worst allergies," Goldstein said. Allergy shots are given once a week, and as symptoms alleviate are trimmed back to bi-weekly and then monthly until an immunity is built up to the allergen. Shots are more of a commitment than prescription or over-the-counter drugs, but they have a 90 percent long-term success rate, Frick said. Fall allergens such as ragweed and mold usually remain active until the first major frost hits, but can sometimes last into the winter months. For Ryan Moulder, St. Louis senior, this is bad news as he deals with a runny nose and watery eyes. "The milder winters that we've seen the last few years have not allowed for the mold spores to be killed off." Goldstein said. "I'm usually pretty miserable for most of the fall," Moulder said. "I look forward to winter just so I can get some relief." - Edited by Scott Christie Georgia sanctions first alligator hunt The Associated Press ALBANY, Ga. — Georgia's first ever alligator hunt is under way, with 180 people picked by lottery to kill the giant reptiles that pose a nuisance by crawling into carports and sliding into swimming pools. Georgia is allowing the hunt in 13 counties and a wildlife management area near Valdosta, Ga. The hunt began Saturday and ends Sept. 28. Melissa Cummings, a spokeswoman for Georgia's state Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Management Division, said there were no reports by Monday of any alligator kills, but hunters have until Oct. 15 to register the 'gators they take either for hide or meat — or both. Alligators are hunted at night by light beam, with only the eerie glow of their eyes visible. Hunters must snare them first and pull them close to their boats before killing them, either by handgun or severing the spinal cord. The reptiles can grow up to 16 feet and weigh as much as 800 pounds. Georgia's state Department of Natural Resources received 2,557 applications for the hunt and chose 180 people at random. Each hunter pays $50 for a license and the alligators have to be at least four feet long. Each hunter is allowed only one alligator. With state and federal conservation efforts, Georgia's alligator population has surged from almost none in the 1960s to an estimated 200,000. Georgia wildlife officials receive an average of 450 nuisance complaints a year. Nuisance alligators are killed or moved by the state's licensed trappers. The state has had eight alligator attacks on humans since 1980, but none were fatal. The areas where hunts were sanctioned have been hotbeds for complaints.

The background features stacked paper cups on a shelf.] By Steve Schmidt sschmidt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Kate Hovde, Duluth, Minn., senior, handed a honey brown latte to Meghan Lurtz, Olathe sophomore, yesterday at Milton's Coffee on the first floor of the Kansas Union. Lurtz, the coffee shop's first customer, said she purchased drinks there three times a week. For four weeks now, students have had a new place to get a cup of foe in the Kansas Union. Milton's Coffee and Wine opened a branch of its main downtown location, 920 Massachusetts St., on Aug. 25 on the first floor of the Union. The first day the coffee hub had 52 customers, store manager Erin Widmer said. About 80 people showed up on the third day. Widner said business had increased every day, and now serves between 150 and 170 people. "We haven't done any advertising yet, so it's just by word of mouth," she said. "Everyday we get more and more people down here. Still a lot of people don't know about all this down here." Widmer credits increased awareness of the shop to poetry readings sponsored by Student Union Activities, which are held in the nearby Hawk's Nest on Wednesday nights. The first reading was Wednesday, and about 75 people showed up. She also said the newfound popularity of the shop was because of the prices, which ranged from $1 for a small cup of regular brewed coffee to $3 for a specialty mocha blend. The Union shop features the same selection as the downtown location. "We kind of pride ourselves on having a pretty cheap menu," Widner said. The shop also sells baked goods, which are sent from the downtown store. The price range of the pastries, cinnamon rolls and cookies started at 80 cents for a "day-old deal" on yesterday's pastries to $1.99 for cinnamon rolls. Widmer said the most popular drink was honey brown latte, which is made of honey, vanilla, espresso and milk. The peanut butter and chocolate cookies were the best-selling baked goods. Milton's was one of several local businesses that applied for a spot in the Union. Westside Deli and Market, 4931 W. Sixth St now has a location on the third floor of the Union. Jay Glatz, food services director of the KU Memorial Unions, said between six and eight local businesses applied for spots in the Union. Glatz said that Milton's was chosen primarily out of its local recognition. "We felt it would fit in the space nicely down there," Glatz said. "It was a local brand that was very successful that we thought would appeal to students and faculty." Widmer said she thought a majority of her customers appreciated local businesses, especially coffee shops as compared to the growing trend of competing national chains. "I know they kind of embrace it." Widmer said. Jennifer Sher, St. Louis senior said she visited the stand every Monday, Wednesday and Friday when nearby. She said she kept coming back to the stand because of its price, convenience and taste. "It's cheaper than Starbucks, and it's better," she said. Edited by Scott Christie FIGHT: Money places second; boxers value bragging rights fighters usually picked the belt. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A "They get up there and they get the people cheering behind them. They want something to remember that glory," he said. But not all the contestants were there for the glory. Ellen Maichel, Overland Park junior, said she was entering the female division of the competition for the money. At press time, the nearly six-foot Maichel's chances looked good. She dwarfed her competition, which included a fighter with the nickname "105 pounds of Fury." Malchel said her boyfriend had seen an advertisement for the event, and encouraged her to enter it. However, she made it clear to him that encouragement was all she needed. "He called me up tonight, trying to give me advice," she said. "I told him, 'Honey, I know how to punch.'" Knockout Events co-owner Kevin Shaw said even fighters who didn't "know how to punch" were not in danger entering the ring. The fighters are required to wear protective headgear and mouthpieces, and 20-ounce gloves are used. Professional boxers use 12-ounce gloves with less padding. The heavier gloves cushion impact and fatigue fighters more quickly. more secure. In addition to these safeguards, Shaw said he and co-owner Shane Swartz, a professional boxer and certified referee, made sure the fights stayed under control. "We're not going to stand there and let someone get the shit kicked out of them," he said. Although Valuk's blow sent Quackenbush reeling, he held his own in his first fight in almost 10 years. Bar patrons crowded to pat him on the back as he left the ring, and his last pre-fight words couldn't have rang more true. "Pain goes away." Quacken bush said. "But glory is forever." -Edited by Jonathan Reeder RECYCLING: Center location involvement of city debated CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A student fees. The center's cost has not yet been determined. not yet been documented. The resolution sets a target date for the end of the 2003-04 academic year. But problems could arise, such as deciding on a building site, securing funding for the center and needing to work entirely with the city. But those involved said they didn't think teaming up on the project would be a problem. "We work very closely with the city on streets, water, signs and other things, and we look forward to working with them again," said Jim Long said, Vice Provost for Facilities Operations. Sterner said he was in the early process of talking with Mike Wildgen, Lawrence city manager. Wildgen said he would welcome working with the University on the project. A potential hurdle is where the center will be constructed. Owen and Sterner said they wanted the building on central campus, possibly by the Adams Alumni Center, while Long did not think a central campus location was possible. The placement of the facility would be the first decision to make. Hank Lousia, Interim Director for Recycling, declined to comment on the center until Facilities Operations had made some type of decision. The process is in its infancy and Sterner said student lobbying to University and city officials would be helpful to the process. One student group that is looking forward to the new program is the Student Environmental Advisory Board. sory Board. Jason Boots, chairman of the environmental board, said getting students involved would be one of his goals. "We will hopefully be able to provide suggestions and promote public awareness of the project," Boots said. Edited by Ehren Meditz Donors Needed! Earn $20 Today! Donate your blood plasma.

Coach Amy Hall said the team was pleased with its season opener last weekend at the Missouri Invitational in Columbia, Mo. The team posted a strong showing as senior Emily Haylock advanced to the semifinals in singles competition. The Jayhawks faced off against Murray State, Illinois State and Missouri. On the first day of the tournament, Haylock advanced with an opening match win of 3-6, 6-4, (10-7). The following day, Haylock registered a straight set win to advance to the semifinals where she eventually fell her No. 1-ranked opponent, 4-6, 1-6. The native of Evansville, Ind., lost her opening match, but managed to record back-to-back victories on the second day of competition to advance to the championship match, where she fell in a three-set match, 6-4, 5-7, (10-7). "I felt really good," Brown said. "I was relaxed and just pumped Highly touted freshman Brittany Brown got her first taste of collegiate action. "The girls were really excited about playing this weekend. To see the new players and upperclassmen enjoy playing was what this weekend was for." Amy Hall Women's tennis coach to be there." Brown said she considered her movement on the court and baseline ability to be the strengths of her game. Overall, Brown said that a positive mindset was the most important element of her game. Brown, who was a four-time all-state selection in high school, said that the atmosphere at the University resembled where she played back home. The doubles team of Emily Haylock and Kristen Steinbock performed well as the seniors made it to the semifinals. "The girls were really excited about playing this weekend," Hall said. "To see the new players and upperclassmen enjoy playing was what this weekend was for." Next for the Jayhawks will be a trip to Tulsa, Okla., from Sept. 26 through Sept. 28 for the Tulsa Invitational.

Surprising both the athletics department and the faculty council, Wallace sent a resolution recently passed by the council to universities across the nation, urging a change in the role athletics play in universities. "The resolution addresses many issues that have been of continuing concern to us on our individual campuses and in our regular meetings," Wallace said in the letter. Gordon Christensen, faculty council chairman, said he was a little surprised by Wallace's action but was glad the chancellor took such a supportive position. "I am very pleased," Christensen said. "I have no problem with the chancellor doing this. If he wanted to take some leadership on this, I think it is great. I perceive this as continuing teamwork that all groups are recognizing the importance of this." The resolution, which has already been passed by other sport conferences in the nation, calls for an end to the "arms race" between other institutions to produce richer and more expensive athletics programs. "The purpose is to get the entire university athletic community to reconsider its values," Christensen said. "Specifically, to tone down this competition of salaries, facilities and the stress that is placed on our athletes to perform." Christensen also said there were some suggestions to reorganize the athletics department "I would be in favor of a reorganization," Christensen said. "There was a time when coaches taught classes, and we have talked about beginning to get that back." One of the ideas Christensen said was being discussed within the faculty was the possibility of making the athletics department its own school — much like the School of Medicine or School of Journalism. "I perceive the department should not be its own entity," Christensen said. "We could reorganize it so the director would act like a dean and the coaches would be faculty. All of it would help emphasize the idea of students before athletics." The idea of the resolution has come from a nationwide push to scale down intercollegiate athletics. "We really want to stress the idea that student-athletes are students first," Christensen said. Although Christensen said the athletics department has been supportive of the council and its efforts, Associate Athletics Director Sarah Reesman said she was surprised by Wallace's actions but still supported them. Reesman warned that Missouri cannot act on this issue without the support of other universities. Reesman said not allowing freshmen to play — one of the suggestions in the resolution — would be detrimental to the athletics department. "These are things the University of Missouri cannot take and still have a viable intercollegiate athletics program." Reesman said. Reesman said she thought the resolution was idealistic, while Christensen said it was a way to hold the department responsible. Cross-conference soccer matches to begin By Adam Fink Minnesota Daily via U-wire University of Minnesota MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — The dream was simple: A weekend that would capture the imagination of soccer fans across the Midwest. Implementation was the hard part. For years at an annual soccer coaches' conference in mid- December, Big Ten women's coaches would debate creating a rivalry with another strong conference. Starting in 2005, the Big Ten and Big 12 Conferences will team up to form a Big Ten-Big 12 Challenge. Well, the wait is almost over. Minnesota will play at Texas Tech and Baylor in the 2005 season. In 2006, Iowa State and Missouri will visit the Twin Cities. The contests are scheduled to take place in early September. "We wanted a weekend that would grab the spotlight," said Purdue soccer coach Robert Klatte, who spearheaded the efforts to start the competition. "It was hard getting everyone to commit, but the general response I have heard is positive." Not all the Big Ten or Big 12 schools will be participating in the tournament. Klatte said Ohio State and Colorado previously committed to other tournaments and would not play. In addition, Kansas State does not field a soccer team. The hope for this challenge is to create more than just a rivalry. "It is a chance to play some teams you don't normally see," Klatte said. "It also gives all the teams the opportunity to create a strength of schedule with out-of-conference opponents." Gophers coach Barbara Wickstrand said she wanted the challenge to succeed and relished the opportunity to play some of the top teams in the Big 12 Conference. For example, Nebraska and Texas A&M have finished no lower than third since the Big 12 soccer conference was established in 1996. They have combined for 15 NCAA tournament appearances. "We want to play top-10-caliber teams," Wickstrand said. "I think the tournament will turn out very well." Wickstrand's sentiment is similar to the general reaction of the other coaches involved. Klatte, whose team travels to Minneapolis, Minn., to face the Gophers on Friday at Elizabeth Lyle Robbie Stadium in the Big Ten opener, has also heard nothing but positive remarks. He said he expected the tournament to continue after the trial period ends in 2006. "It was a great idea and we have finally put it into place," the Boilermakers fifth-year coach said.

The NFLs offensive player of the year last season, Holmes missed the final two games with a hip injury that required surgery in March and had him on crutches for several weeks. for several weeks. Giving him only a handful of carries in five preseason games, the Chiefs indicated they planned for Holmes to have fewer touches than the 313 carries for 1,615 yards and 70 passes for another 672 he had a year ago in just 14 games. While nobody is saying Holmes' bruised ribs won't be healed by Sunday, coach Dick Vermeil said yesterday that rookie Larry Johnson might be activated this week for the first time. Yet, in victories over San Diego and Pittsburgh already this season, Holmes has 53 touches, more than anyone else in the NFL except Miami's Ricky Williams—a lot of punishment for a running back who will turn 30 in just a couple of weeks. injury by overuse. "Last year at this time, Priest had 44 carries for 206 yards and four touchdowns," offensive coordinator Al Saunders said. Coaches are sensitive to suggestions that they may be subjecting their prime weapon to more injury by overuse. "This year he's had 44 carries for 207 yards and five touchdowns. Last year after two games he had 11 catches for 50-some yards. This year he's had nine catches for 104 some yards. His workload is exactly the same after the first two games as it was last year." Like most good backs, Holmes seems always to get better as the game wears on. His best run against Pittsburgh was a 31-yard scoring 'scamper in the fourth quarter that put the cap on a 41-20 victory. 20 victory. "There were some situations where he took some hits off some guys not finishing up front," Saunders said. "You don't ever like him to take those solid hits. But you can't be so protective of "As soon as you start taking people out of the game, you send a message to the rest of the team that you think it's over." Dick Vermeil Kansas City Chiefs coach him that he's not playing, and he gets out of the flow of the game. If he doesn't get that kind of flow in the game, he's not going to be as effective. He won't make the proper reads, he won't be able to hit the lanes like he normally does. At this point, he's getting about what a starting running back in the league should get." league snorth goes. Nevertheless, some critics are asking why a valuable man coming off hip surgery was still playing against the hard-tackling Steelers with a 34-20 lead with only about five minutes to go. "As soon as you start taking people out of the game, you send a message to the rest of the team that you think it's over," Vermeil said. "I've been in games, coached in games, when people have come back in six minutes and scored 14 or 17 points and beat you. You're just shocked. You just can't figure out what happened. Sometimes you can create that by sending a message late in the ballgame, and you can't get it back again." one of the scariest moments for Chiefs fans last week came on Holmes' second TD, when he vaulted across the goal line and landed, with all his 213 pounds, squarely on that surgically repaired hip. He got up and went to the side line and was re-taped. "I've got to learn how to land on my feet because I want to be there for the next play," he said with a grin. "Actually there was nothing wrong after I dove other than my back was hurting. And it didn't happen on that play. happen on that play. "When it comes to playing football, you never know how hard you're getting hit until maybe four or five plays later."

PAGE 8A The University Daily Kansan 12A sports commentary Wednesday, September 17, 2003 commentary Joey Berlin jberlin@kansan.com Award field should be narrowed Here's a trivia question for Kansas basketball fans: Which of these three players was not an official national player of the year candidate during his senior year — Raef LaFrentz, Nick Collison or Ryan Robertson? Robertson? The answer: It's a trick question — they all were. I'm crazy, right? Robertson was never a player of the year candidate? Oh, yes he was. Before the 1998-99 season, he was named a preseason candidate for the Wooden Award Trophy, given annually to the "Most Outstanding Collegiate Basketball Player of the Year." Why in the world was Robertson, who never scored even 13 points per game in any season of his college career, considered a candidate for college basketball's top player? top player? Because, for some reason, the Wooden Award committee feels it has to name 50—fifty—preseason candidates for its annual All-American team. By "narrowing" the field of candidates to 50, the Wooden committee, which is composed of 15 national sportswriters and broadcasters, makes a mockery of the award. Nominating 50 players means selecting people who have no chance of earning All-American or player of the year honors — like Robertson, or Oklahoma's Ebi Ere, one of last year's nominees. The preseason list also doesn't include freshmen or transfer players. Does that mean outstanding freshmen, transfer players or anyone else left off the Top 50 is disqualified from the start? No, any player throughout the year is eligible for the Wooden Award and All-American team," said Michael C. Solum, director of the Los Angeles Athletic Club, which distributes the Wooden honors. Solum said players not on the original Top 50 list would be eligible for inclusion in the committee's updated midseason list in January, which whittles the field to 30 players. And even if they're not on that list, they're still eligible to win the Wooden. "Every player in the country does have equal opportunity," Solum said. "The preseason list is similar to other preseason All-American teams and serves as a tool for our voters, universities and the Wooden Award offices." Wooden offers Well OK, but other preseason All-American teams don't have 50 people on them. And this year's preseason Top 50 has a few Robertson-esque nominees. Duke point guard Chris Duhon, who spent last season missing three-pointers and playing lackduster defense, makes the list apparently because he's been overhyped and plays for a national power. Oklahoma forward Kevin Bookout, who had a solid but disappointing freshman year, also makes the list. Bookout is still young, but he has little chance of being an All-American this year — and zero chance of being the country's best player. country's best play Everyone on the Wooden committee's list is a solid player, but the majority of the nominees don't even belong in a player of the year discussion. given discussion. At the end of the year, the Wooden Award goes to a deserving player, or at least someone who has a case. But it's hard to take an award seriously that's given by a committee that officially believes players like Duhon and Robertson could be the nation's best. Berlin is a Leawood senior in journalism. Volleyball starts Big 12 play Jayhawks take on the Wildcats tonight look for rare victory in Manhattan By Mike Norris mnorris@kansan.com Kansas sportwriter After two weekend losses at the Hampton Inn/Jayhawk Classic, the Kansas volleyball team turns its attention to a Big 12 opener against rival Kansas State. State. The Jayhawks will play tonight at 7 p.m.at the Ahearn Field House in Manhattan against a Wildcat team that is ranked 10th in the country. "They are a very consistent team, a stable team, and make very few errors," coach Ray Bechard said. The Wildcats swept the series 2-0 last year, but Bechard said that last weekend's tough losses that went five games each may help the team against K-State. Middle blocker Josi Lima, Sao Paulo, Brazil, sophomore, agreed. agreed. "In the Big 12, we are going to have five game matches," she said. "It's going to be a good experience." to be a good experience. If the Jayhawks were successful in Manhattan, then it would be something new. The Wildcats have won nine straight home games against the Jayhawks and 16 straight overall. Bechard said the team was confident heading to Manhattan. "They've had some success on the road, and played some good competition on the road," he said. "I think that will help prepare us." Abbie Jacobson, St. Marys senior, grew up 15 minutes from Manhattan, and is 0-6 against K-State since joining the Jayhawks. ing the Jayhawks. She said growing up, her family cheered for K-State.

Jacobson said the team would rather be the hunter than the hunted. The Wildcats have won 10 straight after starting the season 0-2. Outside hitter Lindsey Morris, Overland Park junior, said ending their winning streak would be big, but she had another reason to want to beat the Wildcats. liked K-State. "It would be huge, I've always wanted to beat K-State," she said. "We always seem to go in there, and we never seem to be able to play our best when we're playing against them." wildcats.

The Jayhawks play the Wildcats of Kansas State at 7 tonight in a one-match series in Manhattan. —Edited by Scott Christie Kansas' pass attack improves By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter Traditionally, Kansas football has very little in common with programs such as Florida, Oregon and USC. This season, a resemblance is beginning to peek through. That similarity is a passing game near the top of the NCAA standings. After throwing for 269 yards and four touchdowns Saturday against Wyoming, senior quarterback Bill Whittemore has the second-highest passing efficiency among Division I-A quarterbacks. Behind only Pittsburgh's Rod Rutherford, Whittemore is on pace to leave his mark in nearly every University of Kansas single-season passing category in the record books. Though Whittemore gets the majority of the credit for the offensive success on KU Mark Simmons breaks away from the Wyoming defense Saturday afternoon on a 70 yard touchdown completion from Bill Whittemore. Simmons is largely responsible for KU's number one rank in total offense in the Big 12. the field, his supporting cast brings firepower that Jayhawk fans have not seen in a long time. a long time. Through three games, the Jayhawks rank atop the Big 12 Conference in total offense, averaging 27.3 points and 452.6 yards per game. These numbers are a significant improvement from the 18 points and 256 total yards that the Jayhawks averaged in last season's first three games. Coach Mark Mangino believes one of the biggest differences from 2002 is a focus on concentration by Whitmore's targets. more's targets. "I thought we left too many balls on the ground last season," Mangino said. "It's like any other fundamental. You can learn to catch the ball. I'm a firm believer of that." catch the ball. If it misses, the method Mangino has used to cut down on dropped passes is unorthodox, but it has paid dividends to this point. The process involves anyone who is a pass receiver - wideouts, tight ends, and running backs - catching tennis balls fired at them. The receiver in Whittemore's corps who has made the most noise this season is sophomore Mark Simmons. So far this year, Simmons has eight catches for 254 yards and three touchdowns. The 254 yards eclipses his 2002 total of just 208 in a freshman campaign that Mangino said was not an easy one. "He played last year for us as a true freshman and probably wasn't ready." Mangino said. "He went to the school of hard knocks and learned the tough way, and now he's benefitting from that experience." Simmons' partner in crime, junior receiver Brandon Rideau, attributed the tennis-ball drills to help him concentrate and become the team's top possession receiver. "Growing up, we used to always play baseball and we didn't have gloves and stuff like that, so we'd used tennis balls," Rideau said. "They help our hands get quicker and teach good coordination." With talent around Whittemore that includes sophomore tailback Clark Green, who is on pace for a 1,000 yard rushing season, Simmons and Rideau as sure-handed veteran receivers, and rising stars such as freshman receivers Moderick Johnson and Charles Gordon, Mangino sees a domino effect leading to a bigger future. a bigger future. "If he has a good supporting cast, that supporting cast will continue to get better each week," Mangino said. "Bill will just continually get better and be a real workhorse for us." Kansas Football Notes The Jayhawk Players of the Week from the 42-35 win over Wyoming were announced Tuesday. On offense, the honors went to Whittemore, who threw for 269 yards, four touchdowns, and completed 12 of 15 pass attempts. The defensive player of the week was sophomore linebacker Gabe Toomey, who led all Jayhawks with 12 tackles, including seven solo stops. On special teams, senior punter Curtis Ansel was commended for his 41.3 yards-per-punt average and 26 passing yards on a successful fake-punt attempt. Mangino announced that starting outside linebacker, sophomore Banks Floodman, will more than likely play this weekend against Jacksonville State. Floodman was knocked out of action Saturday during the second quarter with an unspecified injury. Kansas' Big 12 season opener against Missouri on Sept. 27 will be televised on FoxSportsNet.

The stray cats that live around the abandoned building behind Facilities Operations will soon have to relocate or face capture by the Humane Society, Monte Rogers, a plumber for Facilities Operations, said. Though Rogers doesn't actually own the cats, he has been taking care of them for 10 years. He's named most of them — Tiger, Gray, Silver, Boots, Fluff, among others — built a lean-to to give them shade and put cat food out for them. "just whatever's on sale," he said. KH1-2 typical pet homes. But with the part of the Powerhouse — the University's oldest standing building — scheduled to be demolished to pave way for the new Hall Center for the Humanities, Rogers wonders what will happen to his furry neighbors. Just whatever's left The cats Rogers takes care of are feral cats: animals too poorly socialized to be handled and that cannot be placed into "If I had a great big farm out in the country, I could take them out there and let them go," Rogers said. let them go. Rogers said. The cats that used to live in the area, hunting mice and other small wildlife, will have to find a new place to stay and hide from the pound. The Humane Society has already captured several of them and taken them away, Rogers said. Midge Grinstead, director of the Humane Society of Lawrence, said that while she didn't know about any trappings by the Humane Society at the University, feral cats had been a problem in the area. A cat on Tuesday stood near the lean-to constructed by power plant workers. More than five cats are scheduled to lose their home when the warehouse behind the plant is demolished to make way for the new Hall center.

On Oct. 12 this year, the commission is throwing a celebration at Clinton Lake. It's the site of the future Sesquicentennial Plaza, now an undeveloped site below the north side of the dam overlooking the Wakarusa Valley. By the 2004 anniversary, it will provide a place to view the city and learn about Lawrence's history. This echoes the city's celebration of its 100th birthday in 1954, when Centennial Park was constructed west of Iowa Street. The location was chosen because it was out of the city limits at the time. the city limits at the time Also marking Lawrence's 150th birthday is the construction of an online documentary of Kansas history, made possible by collaboration between Spencer Research Library's Kansas Collection "We need to think hard where we came from, and think harder about where we are going."

Smith, a nationally renowned scholar and historian, served as the director of four other presidential libraries before coming to the PETER DANIELS Smith University of Kansas and is the only person to manage four presidential libraries. Sun-Times columnist Stave Neal reported that Smith was Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's first choice to run the Lincoln museum. Neal wrote that the governor hoped to "announce Smith's appointment within two weeks." Neal also wrote that Gov. Blagojevich had already contacted Smith and asked him for recommendations for the library's board and for his advice "on the future of the library and museum." Blagojevich is not quoted in Neal's column, however. Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations, said the University could not comment on whether Smith would stay in his current position as director. current position as director Smith, 50, came to Kansas in December 2001.

The class will continue for the rest of the semester at 8 p.m. on Wednesday nights. But the two people within seem not to notice as they search for silence around a single candle.

Alex Hoffman Local Lee's Summit man to face murder charges in Lawrence LAWRENCE'—A Missouri man who crashed his car into another vehicle while being pursued by police must stand trial for murder in the death of the other driver, a judge ruled. Nam Ouk Cho, 19, showed "extreme indifference" to human life during the Aug. 26 chase, in which he drove through city neighborhoods at more than 100 miles per hour, said prosecutor Dan Dunbar during a preliminary hearing Tuesday in Douglas County District Court. The chase ended when Cho, of Lee's Summit, Mo., slammed into a car driven by Judith Vellucci, 56, of Lawrence. Vellucci died at a hospital where a police detective also interviewed Cho, who waived his right to remain silent and described the chase. Cho's trial is scheduled to begin Dec. 9. The judge also set a hearing for Oct. 31 on whether Cho made his statements at the hospital voluntarily.

Deputy Salina Fire Chief Steve Moody said an ambulance was called Tuesday night to the Holiday Inn Express after a child playing in the hotel's swimming pool passed out. The children's siblings and parents also weren't feeling well. he said carbon monoxide levels began rising in the pool area after the pool's heater malfunctioned. Fumes from the pool room eventually entered the hotel's duct system. Fire crews measured carbon monoxide levels of 1,600 parts per million in the pool area, a level that can lead to death within an hour, Moody said. The family had been in the pool area about 20 minutes when the child got sick.

In fact, snails have been in Kansas long enough to be in the state's fossil record. Beth Davis, Cleveland graduate student, said she was not sure how the mollusks got here. But the amount of moisture and food appears to influence where the snails stay. "Lawrence has a lot of good habitat for snails — a lot of bushes." Davis said. Thanasis Saouros, Nicosia, Cyprus senior, said he saw the snails in front of Fraser Hall and on steps between Watkins and Battenfeld scholarship halls. She should know. According to Davis, she is the only person in Kansas who studies snails, but she's certainly not the only person who notices the mollusks. problems." Saouros said, "I tried not to step on them." "I hope I didn't cause them any Davis said the mollusks found on campus were pulmonate snails, meaning they had lungs Davis is studying the behavior of the snails on campus and has collected them from around Lawrence. The mollusks on campus usually have brown bodies and beige-colored shells and can be as large as a quarter. They are nocturnal so they are seen at night, though they are most commonly found after it rains, when they congregate to mate or eat, Davis said. At other times the snails burrow under the ground and excrete a coating of mucus over their shells. This mucus coat conserves water. Jordan Tucker, Kingman senior, said he saw the snails' mucus trails while he waited on campus for the bus. Water conservation is important because the mucus the snails use to move is 90 to 95 percent water. The snails move by excreting mucus and applying pressure to it. The mucus changes from being solid-like to fluid-like, depending on the amount of pressure applied to it. "Snails are funny," Tucker said. "They've got the little things that come out." One of those little things is the foot, the appendage snails use to move by putting pressure on the mucus. "It's sort of like silly putty," Davis said. "If you pull silly putty fast it breaks; if you pull it slowly it stretches. Depending on what you do to it, it will have that sort of property." Beth Davis, Cleveland, Ohio, graduate student, held four snails during a carrot feeding. Davis is studying the behavior and actions of snails that cover campus and the Lawrence area. The snails' food source is a fungus that grows on decaying plants. Davis said this made the snails more of a help in the garden than a nuisance. Megan True/Kansas "They help decompose things," she said. "They break down the excess stuff in your soil." The snails eat by scraping layers off the surface of their food. The snails' bottom two tentacles are part of their mouths.

Queers and Allies requested $2,500 for speaker and artist Stacevann Chin. Schafer said Chin's mixed ethnicity, consisting of American, German and Jamaican backgrounds, and her being a lesbian made Chin an ideal choice to speak about diversity. Colt Schafer, Queer and Allies senator, said it was important that Chin spoke close to National Coming Out day. The money will be subtracted from the $7,500 the group is normally allotted by the Senate for Gay Pride week in the spring. Chin will speak on Oct. 10 at a location to be announced. National Coming Out day is Oct. 11. Senate also accepted a bill for $3,000 to bring in environmental speaker Derrick Jensen. Jensen will speak Oct. 2 on a wide variety of issues such as the environment, social justice and animal rights. He will also comment on modern culture. Jensen will also be at the university on Oct. 5 conducting workshops. The University is working together with The University of Missouri-Kansas City to reduce lensen's speaking costs.

This calendar will feature women who have accomplished great feats of academia or crossed seemingly insurmountable hurdles — the kind that don't stem from having a bad hair day. This calendar will highlight the true power of women: the power to be confident in making the choices necessary to succeed. Calendar highlights real images This new commission adamantly states that the proposed calendar is not meant to demean the Women of KU Calendar or imply that the calendar is inappropriate. We can all agree that a calendar that showcases women who have worked for their positions in life is a more positive view of women. We have all seen the original Women of KU Calendar. We should not want our University's female population to be represented by topless women. We should want people to see our University through the eyes of women with Ph.D.s and personal triumphs under their belts — and the fact that they will be pictured wearing belts is a step in the right direction. The Women of KU Calendar may be preparing its subjects for lucrative careers as models, shallow actors or television personalities, but an institution of higher learning should be remembered by the size of its students' IQs rather than the size of their breasts. It is nice that, even in some small way, the climate of tolerance here at the University is going to exceed the mean of society as a whole. The notion that a woman's worth is proportionate to her looks supposedly went out of style a long time ago. In actuality, that notion is alive and thriving everywhere we turn. It is heartening that at least one group at the University, which is renowned as a progressive stronghold in an otherwise conservative state, is striving to break apart the notion that women are no more important and worth no more than they can garner in sales from horny buyers.

Presidents should always be held accountable COMMENTARY On Saturday, Aug. 30, George "Dubya" Bush was visiting the Waco Texas, Little League Midway softball team that won the World Championship when his sweet little dog Barney slipped out of his hands, falling directly onto the concrete and landing on its head. Bush automatically swept up his uninjured dog. Many news sources reported this story stating that the dog had passed away, only to submissively slip in that it hadn't really. JUST GRANTED! Barney, the Scottish terrier, did survive the fall from Dubya's arms, but many others have lost their best friend's lives by placing them in Bush's hands. Chris Cardinal opinion@kansan.com lives by passing throughout history, we have seen presidential blunders such as Ford shaking his son's hand as if he were an audience member at Utah State University, Nixon's "Can't Stand Pat" speech, Bush Sr. vomiting on the lap of the Japanese Prime Minister at a state dinner, and Michael Jackson holding his baby over the rail of a high-rise apartment building. All right, Michael Jackson wasn't necessarily the president of the United States, but the King of Pop is close enough. but the King of Pop is close In these instances, different organizations and the media jumped at the chance to persecute people who are responsible for upholding a higher-than life image. Our president currently is getting away with massive amounts of scandals, moral dilemmas and personal problems, and most are doing no more than,turning their heads. President Bush is performing these misdeeds in your name and mine and is disgracing America's name as a whole. Incidents such as the showing of Qusay and Uday Hussein's corpses, a.k.a. the ace of spades and the ace of hearts, have been horrific. James C. Moore, coauthor of Bush's Brain: How Karl Rowe Made George W. Bush Presidential, spoke for a lot of people when he said, "I was disgusted that my country gave sponsor to the notion of showing their dead faces on television, as though that might reassure the Iraqis. This was the modern international equivalent of brutal tribes placing their conquered foes heads on a spike in the town square." town square. Before the war, Dubya's lies focused on "imminent danger" propaganda. During the war, they centered on "liberating the Iraqi people," not tearing apart a culturally rich society. And now, after the war, he claims we're fighting in Iraq on the battlefield of "international terrorism." After the tragedy of Sept. 11, we realized that our leaders have extremely stressful jobs that take up massive amounts of time, and have heaps of important duties that will turn them gray after three years. If Bush had dropped little Barney two years ago, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and other animal rights organizations would have jumped at the chance to get some exposure. Now, after the change in perception of political figures, nothing was said. Most Americans and organizations choose to overlook the president's measly personal problems and downfalls, including lying to the American people numerous times about weapons of mass destruction, trying to make a mysterious connection between Iraq and international terrorism, and telling us about the "imminent danger" that we are all in. Clinton was officially impeached for receiving a blow job. Bush illegally kills thousands of innocent people, spends $176 billion doing it, and then drops his beloved dog, and we ignore it. Why, you ask? Because we live in post-Sept. 11, when the president seems to be able to get away with anything. We can make all our problems go awav come Nov. 6,2004.

As I sat quietly reading my newspaper that morning in class, a classmate sitting adjacent to me noticed I was reading a political article. He abruptly leaned over, and enthusiastically began to rant and rave about our own President George W. Bush. "Bush is such a great leader," he said. "Don't you love the guy?" GUEST COMMENTARY TEL. 0123456789 students should be positive Before you conservatives shy away from this column thinking this is just another liberal student dismantling Bush's regime, hear me out. I'll agree that Bush has done some courageous things for this country during his term as president, but it may be a safer bet to say that the negatives have outweighed the positives. He has tarnished foreign relations, escalated our debt and lied to fellow Americans. the guy? As I pretended to listen, I began to reminisce about how our commander in chief has brought us to a state of despair and anxiety. A state that some of us may shrug off nonchalantly, even though we students should be petrified.

But most importantly, he has allowed our economy to flounder. to reconstruct. Much of Iraq is undeveloped and antiquated. Even the oil reserves, which Bush probably hopes will one day reimburse us, need significant revamping. I want to know when Bush is going to become less concerned about rebuilding a lost cause and become more concerned about rebuilding our own economic stability. And to think that during war and economic misery, our faithful leader is just returning from a month-long vacation at his ranch. Evidently, he seems to think all is going swell. is going swam. Bush is a fascinating character. His words to America are as sincere as a used car salesman's. Frankly, his speeches tend to scare me. He could never get a part as an actor. And it always leads me to wonder: What is under that schoolgirl smirk and confused expression he always wears? Is he thinking hard about our fiscal policy or is he wondering what episode of *SpongeBob* is on after his nap? Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to connect our incompetent leader directly to our economy's demise. But as our economy suffers, he makes little attempt to revive it. Even if he is persistently flooding the press with positive garbe or attempting to implement bills that he knows may never pass, I need some sign that he gives a damn. sign that he is great. But wait. He is implementing bills to help our dreary economy. He's working day and night cutting taxes. Unfortunately, these cuts are for the wealthiest Americans. Who's going to end up paying the difference to help pay for our increasing debt? Answer: lower and middle classes, which will most likely include many of us students and graduates. many of our students and graduates. So you may still be asking, why is all this important? For you racquetball majors out there, our ability to get a job relies heavily on that little thing called the economy. And after the seven or eight years some of us will put in here at the University, we will probably expect to just stroll right out of school and into the working world when we graduate. But with the current economy in shambles and hope dwindling, college graduates are finding it much harder to get a job in our now depleting work force. how depressing this is not a call for Bush's head. All I'm asking is that our president start concentrating on our economy and use wiser judgment, so that we can get jobs, go on with our lives and not swiftly end up in an unemployment office.

The Fine Arts Educational Enhancement Fund has helped 41 students since former fine arts dean Toni-Marie Montgomery created it in 2001. Its function is to ease the cost of appearing in exhibitions and competitions or attending conferences, said Steve Hedden, the current dean of fine arts. "It helps by providing learning experiences that take place someplace beyond KU,"Hedden said. Hedden said the fund would help students get instruction at high-profile institutions such as Jacob's Pillow, a dance center in Massachusetts, or the Aspen Music Festival in Colorado. These places can help to enrich the experience students have at the University, he said. When the fund started, the major source of revenue came from the Collage Concert. The concert, which was first held in 2000, provides a diverse sample of visual and musical entertainment for the Lawrence and University communities. The fourth annual Collage Concert is at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Lied Center. Students apply for grants within the departments of art, design and music and dance. Because of tighter budgets, the Fine Arts Advisory Board has looked for alternative funding beyond the Collage Concert. Heden said a silent auction, at $50 a ticket, would take place before the concert. Items up for bid include donated art and voice lessons from University faculty. The money that is collected goes directly into the fund and is then used for more educational outlets for the students. So far, about $24,000 has been raised. Tom Brantman, a 2003 University graduate, received a thirdplace award from NASA with his aviation design team. They participated at a competition in Oshkosh, Wis., called Revolutionary Vehicles: Concepts and Systems University Student Competition 2003. "The NASA experience was awesome," he said. "I'd never done anything like it, and it was a huge pat on the back." The school, together with the department of aerospace engineering, contributed almost $1,000 to pay the expenses for the trip to Oshkosh. "They did their part," Brantman said. "The fact that they can even have an educational fund is remarkable." Brantman said he benefitted from his experience at the competition. "We can go anywhere from what we learned, and we know we got a top-notch education," he said. — Edited by Nikki Overfelt LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark entered a crowded and wide-open race for the Democratic presidential nomination yesterday. Democratic race gains another The Associated Press "We're going to run a campaign that will move this country forward not back," Clark said, promising to "talk straight to the American people." town people. Clark, 58, became the 10th Democrat in the race that is up for grabs, joining a contest that has been under way for months. Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean is the front-runner, but a solid majority of voters remain undecided and some party leaders believe the current field has underperformed. "My name is Wes Clark. I am from Little Rock, Arkansas. And I am here to announce that I intend to seek the presidency of the United States of America," he began. He entered with no experience in elective office and no history on domestic policy, but offered one thing Democrats crave: New hope of undercutting President Bush's wartime popularity. Clark immediately took aim at Bush, saying his economic policies "have cost us more jobs than our economy has had the energy to create." Nearly 3 million U.S. jobs have been lost since Bush took office in January 2001. Clark vowed to "restore the millions of jobs that have been lost." The former Vietnam veteran and commander of all NATO forces in Europe also said that, "More than 100,000 American troops are fighting abroad and once again Americans are concerned about their civil liberties." Clark made his announcement at a boys and girls club in the state capital, under clear blue skies and on a small stage bearing a sign of his Web site: americansfor clark.com.

Now it's looking for feedback. By Robert Perkins rperkins@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The portal is an online tool that students, faculty and staff can use to enroll, check their finances and keep up with classes, among other features. Although users had access to a prototype portal last year, the University launched the new version on Sept. 2. It was paid for largely with tuition-enhancement dollars. "Having this access can be a wonderful tool, and it won't clog your memory," said Julie Loats, web administrator for Information Services. At an informational meeting at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union yesterday, Loats explained the features of the new portal to about 20 people. By using the portal, students will be able to check on their KU Card accounts, financial aid. Loats said that since Sept. 2, about 13,500 individuals had accessed the portal. library accounts and will be able to enroll. While these users have given valuable feedback, Allison Lopez, coordinator for Information Services, said that she hoped more people would e-mail comments about how to improve the new service. "It'll never be finished," she said. "When it's finished, we'll be done serving the University." The portal uses free software, which will be updated to the latest version later this year. The new software will make it easier for users to individualize their access. Loats said that anyone with problems accessing the portal could call 864-0200 for assistance. Like the current software, it will still require users to enable cookies on their computers and run a browser that is HTML 4.0 compatible. - Edited by Doyle Murphy Power plant receives oil upgrade By Abby Mills almills@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Even a natural gas shortage will not stop the boilers at the University of Kansas' power plant. Facilities Operations crews are in the process of adjusting the boilers to burn oil, should natural gas become temporarily unavailable, said George Cone, assistant director of mechanical systems at the University. One of the University's three boilers is already able to run off either fuel. The boiler was altered to run off oil as well as natural gas last week. Cone said the other two boilers were older and would take more time. Both were made in the 1960s and require rewiring before they can be altered. "It will take a while to make sure everything works well," he said. "It's trial and error to get them all working together." Cone said he did not know when work on the boilers would be completed. The University has had a potential shortage before, said Cindy Strecker, utility manager for the University. Last year, a compressor went out in a natural gas pipe in Ottawa. The problem was quickly solved, but it could have potentially caused a decreased gas flow to the University. Cone said the University had 30,000 pounds of back-up fuel, which would last two to three days. Engineers are working to develop a tank structure for storing fuel. The University had a back-up system four years ago that ran off No.6 oil. Cone said that system was discarded because it was old and not functioning properly. He also said the fuel had too much sulphur and did not meet Environmental Protection Agency regulations. The new system uses No.2 oil, which burns cleaner. Strecker said some oil back-up systems were used when natural gas prices increased, but the University would not switch for financial reasons. "Many times if natural gas is high, oil will be too," she said. "It will be set up if we need it." The University's power plant is also adding another boiler to its operation. The boiler was scheduled to be installed last week, but a part was damaged during delivery, and the boiler had to be returned to the manufacturer in Nebraska. Cone said the new boiler would increase production by nearly 40 percent, but he was not sure when the boiler would be installed and running. - Edited by Doyle Murphy nation AOL Time Warner brand distances self from AOL AOL Time Warner Inc.'s board will vote today on a proposal to NEW YORK—AOL and Time Warner got married at the height of the Internet boom, and now they seem ready to acknowledge that it's time for a separation in name, at least. Company spokeswoman Mia Carbonnell declined to comment. drop "AOL" from the company's name, according to a source familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity. Dropping AOL would be an acknowledgment that the grand hopes behind the merger of old and new media giants have failed. Veterans from the Time Warner side of the conglomerate have long pressed for the name change as problems mounted at America Online, which used its high-flying shares to buy Time Warner at the height of the Internet bubble in early 2000. At the time of the merger, AOL was seen as a catalyst to transform the traditional media properties of Time Warner like People magazine, HBO and Warner Music Group for the Internet age. Now, AOL is merely a division within the larger AOL Time Warner conglomerate. The Associated Press California Casualty You've got the degree. Now you must make a choice.

"And cats have surpassed dogs in cases of rabies in the state of Kansas." While many groups advocate the spay/neuter and release plan for feral cats, Grinstead said that it was more humane to euthanize adult strays when they came in if they could not be reintroduced to humans when they came in. "How are strays going to get water? And in the winter, where will they stay?" she said. "Their ears and noses will freeze." Grinstead said that, depending on the circumstances, younger strays could be adopted and tamed. Tristan McCafferty, Lawrence junior, did just that with his kitten. Cash. A year and a half ago, he adopted the tan kitten from a farm in Baldwin, where it had already started to go feral. "If you can get them early enough, it's better than letting them get put to sleep," he said. Grinstead warned against students adopting a cat if they couldn't take care of a pet during the summer. She said she blamed the current University feral cat problem on students releasing their pets on campus to fend for themselves. The cats and their kittens will be facing the upcoming winter STRAY ANIMALS Cats and dogs 6 to 8 million entering shelters each year Cats and dogs 3 to 4 million euthanized by shelters each year Cats and dogs 3 to 4 million adopted from shelters each year Litters a fertile 3 female cat can produce in one year Kittens in a 4 to 6 single litter Offspring two 420,000 cats can produce in seven years Source: Humane Society of the United States without the benefit of an empty insulated building to live in, but Rogers didn't plan to leave them entirely out in the cold.

LAWRENCE: Happy birthday "Not everyone can drive to Lawrence or Topeka," said Bill Crowe, Spencer librarian and member of the celebration planning commission. "People can be in Salina or Singapore and learn about the history of Kansas." The commission also wants to celebrate the sesquientennial by serving as the site for the presidential debates in Oct. 2004. It remains to be seen if the bid was successful, but the sites will be announced November 2003. Celebration activities in 2004 kick off Sept. 17, and include a parade and the dedication of Heritage Garden at Hobbs Park and a veterans' memorial. Bleeding Kansas Chautauqua scholars plan on acting out "livinghistory" under a large tent in South Park. "It was specifically founded on the idea of freedom." Crowe said of Lawrence's historical significance. "We should celebrate that and go forward." Crowe said University of Kansas students played an important role in the sesquientennial. "KU has practically been here since the beginning too," he said. Crowe said the Commission's goal was not to provide a self- congratulatory pat on the back, but rather to coordinate events throughout the city. "It is about sense of community," he said. "This is often something we think about when times are tough." It is important to celebrate Lawrence's 150th birthday because the community is constantly growing and changing. Crowe said. "We need to think hard where we came from," he said. "And think harder about where we are going." David Dunfield, Lawrence mayor, said the city was unique because of its role in the struggle to establish the modern idea of human rights in the United States. The first settlers arrived from Boston Aug. 1, 1854, to prevent the spread of slavery. Dunfield said people in Lawrence historically had, and still abled by, strong convictions. "Issues are enthusiastically debated because it is still a city where many people come and stay as a matter of choice," he said. Dunfield looked to future celebrations with optimism. "A nice goal for our 200th anniversary would be to celebrate along the banks of a Kaw River that had been restored to the level of cleanliness that the founders enjoyed," he said. —Edited by Katie Nelson MEDITATION: Class provides relief, calming effect for students CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A college students." he said. on you." college students, he said Montserrat Mitchell joined Alford in the first Wednesday class. Mitchell, Tallahassee, Fla. graduate student, said she had participated in other meditation on different levels and liked the guided sessions the most. "It is a way to get out of your daily self and get a perspective on life," she said, "but it is not forced According to an article in last Sunday's issue of The New York Times, a recent study of Buddhist monks at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is discovering that there may be, not only emotional effects from meditation, but also physiological effects. These studies were developed by Richard Davidson, professor of psychology. He believes that non-Buddhists can use the power of meditation to reduce stress, rid the body of negative emotion and improve the immune system. The two most common ailments among University of Kansas students are stress and depression, said John Wade, psychologist at Watkins Memorial Health Care Center. Wade said he encouraged students suffering from anxiety to try relaxation techniques such as muscle relaxation and breathing techniques. Meditation is another possible way to cure these illnesses, he said. "When the stress level is reduced, the immune system is strengthened," Wade said. Although the group began small, Alford said that he thought students would catch on soon. "We just don't take enough time to sit and listen," he said. — Edited by Nikki Overfelt Relaxing Manicures - Award winning nail artists - Exfoliating spa manicures - French manicures - Parrafin Hand Treatments - Rock chalk nail art - Spa pedicures - Sculpture & acrylic nails pink and white - Gift Cards & Packages Available - Award Winning Nail Artists IMAGES IMAGES SALON & DRY SPA 9th & Louisiana Lawrence, KS 843- 2138 9th and Louisiana Hair, Nails, Skin, Massage Louise's cocktails schooners pool Sunday $1.50 wells Monday $3 premiums Tuesday $3 boulevard schooners!

Royals loss dims postseason opportunities The Associated Press CLEVELAND - The silence in the Kansas City Royals' clubhouse was a clear indicator of how important this loss was. After winning four straight, the Royals lost to the Cleveland Indians 9-1 on last night and fell! 4 1/2 games behind Minnesota in the AL Central race. "Every time we lose, it's quiet in here," Royals starter Paul Abbott said. "It's a somber mood. However, if we win tomorrow, we win the series. Our mindset is to win every series and to go from there." When Royals manager Tony Pena was asked if the loss took the wind out of their sails, the normally upbeat manager replied, "What do you think?" Jake Westbrook scattered four hits over six-plus innings, and Travis Hafner and Alex Escobar nomered as the Indians ended a four-game losing streak. Jody Gerut hit a two-run single and Jhonny Peralta also drove in two for Cleveland. The Royals quietly watched in the clubhouse as the Twins beat Chicago 4-2, dimming Kansas City's hopes of reaching the postseason for the first time since its World Series title in 1985. Westbrook (7-9) allowed one run and struck out four in 61-3 innings. All of his outs were either on groundouts or strike-outs. He shut down a Royals lineup that averaged nine runs per game during their winning streak. Westbrook is 1-1 with a 1.49 ERA in nine career outings against Kansas City. "I don't know what it is. I can't put it on one certain thing," Westbrook said. "I guess I match up well against them. I'm aggressive and go after guys. I can't explain it." Abbott (1-2) gave up four runs on six hits in five innings. "It's frustrating because three of those runs were with two outs," Abbott said. "You want to make sure you finish those R Royals innings. I tried to stay aggressive. Maybe I was too aggressive." **royals 1** **indians 9** **next:** Royals at Indians **records:** Royals 78-73, Indians 66-87 After Abbott left, Kansas City's bullpen allowed five runs — three unearned. The Royals had an opportunity for a big inning in the seventh, but got just one run.

Reliever Jack Cressend gave up a single to Desi Relaford to load the bases, but pinch-hitter Mike Sweeney hit into an inning-ending double play. Kansas City made two errors in seventh, allowing Cleveland to score three runs. Escobar singled and Victor Martinez hit a soft grounder to second, but Relford flipped the ball past shortstop Angel Berroa and it went into center field. Reliever Kris Wilson bobbled a grounder in front of the mound to load the bases, then gave up three runs on a single, a hit batter and a sacrifice fly to make it 9-1. The Indians have scored 23 runs in their last three games, going1-2. "We're making the pitcher work harder and we're doing it more consistently." Indians manager Eric Wedge said. "We did the last two games, but it didn't show up in wins. But we carried it over to tonight and it worked out for us." Martinez's two-out RBI single in the first gave Cleveland a 1-0 lead. Hafner hit his 13th homer in the third to make it 3-0. Escobar homered in the fifth, his second in as many nights and fifth overall. "I feel better. I'm swinging the bat better," he said. "When you are doing the right things at the plate, you feel more relaxed." Reliever Nathan Field allowed two singles and a walk to load the bases with two outs in the sixth. Graeme Lloyd took over and gave up a two-run single to Gerut to make it 6-0. Middle Tennessee relies on running back By Jon Leffew Sidelines via U-WIRE Middle Tennessee State University One of those seniors is Don Calloway. MURFREESBORO, Tenn. Throughout the Middle Tennessee football team's early season struggles, the team has looked to its seniors for leadership. Calloway, who starts at tailback for the Blue Raiders, is one of the players who has the task of replacing former Blue Raider and current Tennessee Titan Dwone Hicks. Along with Eugene Gross and Kevin Davis, Calloway has stepped up this year not only to replace Hicks, but also to give the Blue Raiders a dangerous passing option out of the backfield. Though Calloway is the smallest of the three running backs, standing 5 foot 6 inches and weighing 186 pounds, he has several points on an impressive football resume. "When we recruited Don, the word on him was that he was small," coach Andy McCollum said. "He's short, he's not small. He's a very physical runner with great burst who has really helped us out over the years." Before his playing days at Middle Tennessee State, Calloway came away with several honors at Miller County High School in Georgia. Calloway ran for 6,385 yards, finishing his high school career with 69 touchdowns. Consequently, he was named Georgia player of the year for all divisions, along with several other individual honors. Calloway began his MTS football career in 2000. The freshman saw extensive playing time on his way to finishing second on the team in rushing with 420 yards. His most productive game was the season finale, where he rushed for 108 yards and tallied 136 receiving yards in the team's victory over Louisiana-Lafayette. During the 2001 season, Calloway rushed for 172 yards and two touchdowns. During the seventh game, Calloway suffered a broken ankle, a seasonending injury for the sophomore. Last year, Calloway played in 11 games, and during the last four games, he averaged 9.1 yards per carry. Despite all of this experience, Calloway has always played second fiddle to other running backs. However, after an impressive spring, Calloway was named the starter, and he has made the most of this opportunity. Calloway currently leads MTS in rushing with 181 yards. A soft-spoken yet key team leader, Calloway is grateful for his chance to finally start. "It's great to start, and we [the running backs] are just trying to go out there and give 110 percent and make this football team better." Calloway said. Making the team better was something Calloway set out to do four years ago when he came to MTS. The decision to come to MTS was a difficult one, especially because Calloway's older brother, Selma, played for the Georgia Bulldogs. These family ties made this season's trip to Athens, Ga., special for the Blue Raider tailback. "It was great going into that hostile environment, but of course we would have liked to have played better," Calloway said. "A lot of my family got to see me play, so it was like a reunion." The reunion for the Calloway family was a huge one. He comes from a family with 16 brothers and sisters. "The big family made me more appreciative of the opportunities and things I get," Calloway said. "I've learned to never take anything for granted." This comes as no surprise to those around Calloway, namely McCollum. McCollum "Don is a very special person," McCollum said. "He was raised very well, and he's a great team player." Though football has been a major part of his life for a long time, Calloway sees himself making a living after college away from football. "I'll probably be somewhere in the real world, working a job," Calloway said.

The two brothers will be the starting small forward and shooting guard for Oklahoma State basketball. University of Kansas soccer player Caroline Smith, Edina, Minn., sophomore, picked up another honor this week. together." Smith was named Big 12 Conference offensive player of the week Tuesday for the second time this season. Smith recorded her second career hat trick in last Friday's tournament victory over Florida State. With the three goals, Smith moved into first place on Kansas' career points list with 50 Smith's Big 12 recognition is partly because of her top-five position in offensive categories for the conference. Two seasons ago Joey and Stevie proved to be too much for the ASC, which saw Joey and Stevie scoring 13.3 and 12 points per game,respectively,for the Golden Knights. Kansas coach Mark Francis said Smith played an important role in the team's scoring though she has had some nagging injuries. "Even if she isn't 100 percent, she is still out there busting it," Francis said. Smith ranks fourth in the nation with 1.57 goals per game and second in the nation with a total of 11 goals in the season. With one more goal, Smith will match the Kansas single-season goal record she set last season The Cowboys are looking for size in its backcourt and that is exactly what the Grahams bring to the table.

Twin brothers add depth to Oklahoma State basketball Nikki Nugent "We know the expectations are high for us," Stevie said. "We think we can surpass those because we have higher expectations for ourselves." "Not many schools in Florida or on the coast recruited both of us out of high school," Joey said. "We wanted to play big-time NCAA basketball, but we wanted to stay together." Joey and Stevie both realize the expectations that are on them and are convinced they can reach those expectations. Both twins appreciate whatever leisure time they have with Joey Graham Oklahoma State small forward Being from the East Coast, one might wonder why the twins didn't stay closer to home. Joseph and Rose Graham plan on attending all of the home games this year. "We are real close with our family," Stevie said. "We talk to our parents every day." "We love the support we get from our family," Joey said. "It helps us stay on track and gives us motivation to do well on and off the basketball floor." Though the Graham twins may appear to be all peaches and cream, the two have a fire in their bellies. "We came here to win and to help the Cowboys win," Joey said. "We want to come in, score 10-15 points per game, get hobbies such as listening to music, reading the Bible and talking to family. SHARK'S SURF SHOP CONVERSE SHOES CHUCK TAYLORS IN MANY COLORS!

The coaching staffs in the Big 12 Conference set it apart as the premier football conference in America. Every school in 'the Big 12 seems to have a quality staff, from Bob Stoops and the No.1 ranked Oklahoma Sooners to the Baylor Bears led by Guy Morriss. Morriss took a depleted, probation-bound Kentucky squad to a winning season in the tough SEC last year. Here is a list of the top-five Big 12 staffs. 1) Oklahoma The Sooners are led by Bob Stoops, quite possibly the best big game coach in the nation. Under Stoops, Oklahoma is 15-2 against ranked opponents, including 11-1 against teams in the top 10. Mike Stoops' defenses have ranked in the top 10 nationally in total defense the past three seasons. Oklahoma annually lands a top-10 recruiting class. Love him or hate him, Bill Snyder is one of the best coaches in the Big 12. 1) Oklahoma 2) Kansas State Kansas State came from being possibly one of the worst programs in the nation to one of its best. Kansas State had won fewer than 25 percent of its games and had a 30-game winless streak before Snyder arrived. His winning percentage is more than 62 percent. Bob Elliott is a bright mind at defensive coordinator while Del Miller captains one of the nation's most explosive offenses. Everyone thought this year would be an off year, but Leach's complicated, unorthodox offense is in high gear yet again. Leach is often building his program with rejects of Texas and Texas A&M, but he gets them to win. Tech has been to a bowl in each of Leach's three seasons. If Tech has another successful season, look for people to start raiding their staff, particularly Lyle Setenich, defensive coordinator, and Sonny Dykes, wide receivers coach. 3) Texas Tech OK, so the Longhorns got smacked this weekend against Arkansas and were overpowered and out-coached. Mack Brown even said in his teleconference yesterday that it was his fault. In the nation though, there is no better recruiting tandem than Brown and recruitment coordinator Hardee McCryar. The Longhorns are a consistent top-10 team. And yes, recruitment is a part of coaching, so that brings this staff up a few notches even though they seem to struggle in big games. The defense, coached by Carl Reese, is annually one of the nation's best. 4) Texas 15) Kenske I bet you thought you were going to see Nebraska, Colorado or Texas A&M in this position, but the Jayhawks have an outstanding coaching staff. Mangino has turned around a team that went 2-10 last season and taken them to a 2-1 record Y 5) Kansas 2 through three games. The only slip was against Northwestern in a typhoon. against Northwestern in a typhoon. Mangino and Dave Doeren are solid recruiters.

Deares are solid. Junior outside hitter Lindsay Morris and sophomore middle blocker Josi Lima attempted to block an attack by Kansas State last night in Manhattan. The Jayhawks played three tough games against the Wildcats. Flaherty is a Lanexa senior in journalism Wildcats serve 'Hawks loss By Mike Norris mnorris@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Rozum, who has been injured since the start of the season, was not expected to play for another two to three weeks. Despite an early comeback for injured starting setter Andi Rozum, the Jayhawks fell to rival Kansas State, 3-0, losing 30-20, 30-24 and 30-22. three weeks. But the sophomore made a surprise entrance in game two with the Jayhawks trailing 23-20. Coach Ray Bechard said the combination of setter Ashley Bechard having a head cold and Rozum feeling better about her injury led to Rozum being on the court. court. "Andi's been practicing and working out, and we gave her a little time on the front row," he said. "We'll gradually work them both out and see what happens." He said the team had trouble with the Wildcat's float serves, which had the Jayhawks chasing serves all over the court and led to eight service aces for the Wildcats. The Jayhawks led early in game one, 6-2. But after K-State tied the game at 10, the Wildcats used an 11-0 run to beat the Iav Hawks. "They are a very good team — a very explosive team," she said. "But we have another game and I hope we will get better." Freshman Jana Corrae had her first action against K-State (11-2, 1-0) and played in her first Big 12 Conference jaynawks. "They're very physical; they don't error," said coach Bechard. "But I think the thing they did very well was serve the ball." match. The outside hitter was disappointed with the loss. She said the team didn't play bad but was out-played by K-State. The explosive play Correa referred to came mostly from K-State senior middle blocker Lauren Goehring and junior outside hitter Valeria Hejjas. Heijas had 16 kills and Gooher added 13 kills and a.524 hitting percentage. Kansas was led by middle block ere Josi Lima and Ashley Michaels. Both had a team high nine kills, while Lima had a .375 hitting percentage. But Kansas could never sustain a big enough lead to hold for a victory. SEE VOLLEYBALL ON PAGE 12A Top recruits narrow options FALCON Kansas basketball recruit Alexander "Sasha" Kaun dunked a basketball during a game last season. Kaun was one of two basketball recruits to visit Kansas this month. Photo courtesy of Florida Today By Chris Wintering cvintering@kansan.com Kansan sportswinter Shay Wildeboro, editor of www.Jayhawkslant.com, said that Kaun was a smart basketball player who could score from the inside and outside. Jayhawkslant.com is a member of the Rivals network, a national recruiting service network. Rivals.com and its affiliates provide information about recruits and rankings. Two of the Kansas men's basketball team's top recruits have recently narrowed their list of potential schools, and the Jayhawks are still on both players' lists. "There is a changing demographic of big men," Wildeboor said. "Kaun is one of these new guys, he can run the floor, play defense and he is deadly from 15 feet and in." Alexander "Sasha" Kaun, a 6-foot-11-inch center from Melbourne, FL., is rated the fifth-best center recruit in the country and 23rd overall by the Rivals Recruiting Service. Yesterday Kaun dropped Michigan State as a possibility, leaving only Kansas and Duke. Kaun visited Kansas Sept. 5 and Michigan State last Friday. He is scheduled to visit Duke Sept. 27. Wildeoor said that because Duke had so many young forwards and centers, he thought Kaun could be leaning toward Kansas. Add in Duke's signing of a power forward this week for the 2005 recruiting class, and there may not be enough balls to go around for the big men in Durham if Kaun is added to the mix. The other player to make an official visit to Kansas Sept. 5 also trimmed his list of potential schools. A.J. Price, a 6-foot guard from Amityville, N.Y., is rated sixth in the nation at his position and 29th overall by Rivals. He visited Syracuse last Saturday but dropped one Orangeman from consideration when they signed another point guard. Price is still expected to visit to Connecticut and St. John's, according to Rivals. POLICE Price is an out- standing shooter who can hit from the out- Price side on a consistent basis, Wildeboor said. Mike Sullivan, a national recruiting expert for Rivals, wrote in a Rival's network report that many called Price a "silent assassin." sales. "It's hard to say a guy who is barely 6 feet tall can dominate, but this guy can. He doesn't back down from anything," Wildeoor said. "He is deadly." "Price is very quiet off the court but makes plenty of noise on it," Sullivan wrote. The 6-foot-5-inch shooting guard and small forward from Detroit is rated third in the nation at his position and sixth overall by Rivals. He is the highest-rated recruit coming to Kansas for an official visit. Hariston has visited Ohio State and UCLA and is also being recruited by Cincinnati, Connecticut, Michigan and Michigan State. The Jayhawks' official recruiting visits continue this weekend when top-recruit Malik Hariston comes to town. So far, Kansas only has one verbal commitment, which is from Darnell Jackson. The 6-foot-9-inch power forward from Oklahoma City made his verbal commitment July 11. He is rated 52 overall in his class and 13th at his position by Rivals. Because of NCAA regulations regarding recruiting, no one in the athletic department was allowed to comment on this story.

The Big 12 Conference should follow suit soon. One of the biggest injustices to a college football fan is to disagree with an official's call, to see the replay on the videoboard or on television and to know that nothing can be done. That's why it's time for college football to consider using instant replay. sports commentary sports commentary But one prominent figure isn't fond of the idea. "I'm not in favor of instant replay," football coach Mark Mangino said. "It slows down the game. I have the utmost confidence in our officials. I think they are well-trained and well-prepared Saturday." Big 12 football players are some of the best athletes in college sports, and the speed of the game is astounding. But for officials on the field, the speed can be a bit overwhelming. No matter what great shape officials are in, they can't keep up with these athletes every second. They may not get the best angle to make the right call, with clusters of players and other obstacles blocking their view. That's where instant replay comes in. Memorial Stadium already shows instant replays of every play from its cameras in different parts of the field. One of the main things the Big 12 needs to make instant replay a reality is to create one room in every press box with monitors available to review I agree — they call the game to the best of their ability without bias. But the officials aren't perfect. Jason Huang jhuang@kansan.com the plays with at least three conference officials to view the replays. Jim Marchiony, Kansas associate director of athletics, said the program can create room in the press box for an instant replay booth, but it's not likely that it will. "There is no way in anybody's lifetime that instant replay will be in college football." Marchiony said. "It costs a lot of money and we cannot have some games have instant replay, with the help of national television, and other games to be without it." Mangino said instant replays would slow the game's pace. While that may be true, using instant replays shouldn't take long if they are done right. The average margin of victory in Big 12 games is 15 points. But when the game is close, it's worth the official's time to review a play quickly and efficiently to get the call right. Instant replay gets fans, coaches and players off the officials' backs because the cameras don't lie. On three separate occasions this season, the Jayhawks were on the short end of incorrect calls on the field. Against Northwestern, it looked like Bill Whittemore threw a three-yard touchdown pass to Mark Simmons in the back of the end zone. But it was ruled incomplete because the back judge ruled Simmons had his feet out of bounds. But replay showed one of his feet was inbounds, which would have given the Jafhawks six points. In that same game, the official ruled that Northwestern receiver Kunle Patrick dove and caught a 21-yard pass from quarterback Brett Basanez on a 3rd and 2 play at the Kansas 25-yard line. But replay showed that Patrick trapped the ball. Against UNLV, replay showed that Kansas linebacker Nick Reid came from behind, sacked UNLV quarterback Kurt Nantkes and knocked the ball way for a fumble. Kansas recovered the ball with 22 seconds left in the 1st half, but the referee ruled the pass was incomplete because, in his eyes, Nantkes had his arm forward when the ball was knocked off his hands. I like a game to be called fairly and correctly. If a call went against Kansas and cost us the game, then without instant replay, the coaches, fans and players have the right to be upset. If a call went against the other team and the Jayhawks won, initially I would rejoice. But I would feel guilty. I would rather see my team win because they played better, not because of a technicality like a blown call. Instant replay can make college football better for everyone. Times are changing. We're in the 21st century. So why not flow with the times and allow instant replay to be as much a part of college football as rivalries and fans tearing down goal posts? Hwang is an Overland Park senior in communication studies. Junior outside hitter Lindsey Morris and junior middle blocker Ashley Michaels attempt to block an attack by K-state last night in Manhattan. The Jayhawks played three tough games against the Wildcats. Megan True/Kansas VOLLEYBALL: Wildcats play defeats Jayhawks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9A "K-State has always been a really stable team." Michaels said. "They don't make errors, and they'll play with you 'till you do." eager to get back on the court. The 3-0 loss was the 17th consecutive defeat the Jayhawks have suffered against the Wildcats and the 10th straight loss at the Ahearn Field House. Rozum said she was unhappy with the loss but was "It was exciting to get to play a little bit," she said. "I felt a little rusty honestly; the last two practices were my first, but I'll be back." The Jayhawks (7-4, 0-1) have lost three out of four matches as they head into their Big 12 Conference home-opener. Kansas plays Colorado at I.p.m. Saturday in the Horesei Family Athletics Center. Kansas was successful against the Buffaloes both times last year, winning for the first time ever in Boulder, 3-2. The team will play its last non conference game at home on Monday against the University of Missouri-Kansas City, a team the Jayhawks have beaten 22 out of 23 matches all-time. — Edited by Abby Sidesinger Aggies coach Franchione key to defeating the Hokies By Troy Miller The Battalion via U-WIRE Texas A&M University COLLEGE STATION, Texas — As Virginia Tech and Texas A&M officials watch the events of Hurricane Isabel in the Atlantic Ocean, the Hokies and Aggies are still preparing for their nationally televised football game tonight in Blacksburg, Va. With landfall predicted for either late tonight or early tomorrow morning, the two teams are hoping for the latter. In A&M's case, a Friday morning landfall would allow a second coming of sorts. The last major hurricane to hit Virginia, Hurricane Fran, was in 1996. A&M coach Dennis Franchione is hoping his team can bring another pounding to the Virginia landscape in the form of raining touchdowns and thundering hits. For those who think the Aggies are fighting a hopeless battle, think again. Even though A&M has looked suspect in its first two outings, this team is steadily improving and 12 days of practice and rest can only help its cause. Franchione is the intangible in this game. At Alabama in 2002, Franchione led a large underdog into Norman, Okla., and almost pulled off the upset, losing 37-27 to the No.1 ranked Sooners Motivation No. 2: The Aggie Motivation No. 1: A dismal performance by the Aggie offense one year ago when Virginia Tech stole a 13-3 victory at Kyle Field. Franchione is a master of motivation, and his gameday genius has yet to be seen in the maroon and white. But, against Virginia Tech, the Aggies have nothing to lose. "We only made 156 yards, you think I'd use that?" Franchione said. "You betcha I will. Looking at Virginia Tech, I admire their defense but offensively they've been reminded that they didn't play very well." defense was abused by the Utah running game in the Aggies 28-26 victory over the Utes. Virginia Tech boasts Heisman candidate Kevin Jones at running back in what is one of the most lethal running attacks in the country. Motivation No. 3: The Aggies have nothing to lose. Nobody is picking an upset this weekend in Blacksburg, and although the Hokies will not take A&M lightly, this works in the Aggies' favor. "If you play well against a top 10 team and win, that's easy," Franchione said. "If you play well against a top 10 team and lose, and then you go play the next week against a team that's maybe not top 10 and don't win, I don't know if you gained a lot. I'm not into moral victories." Regardless of what tricks Franchione pulls tonight, the new Aggie coach's true colors should shine through, win or lose and this team will definitely be motivated to shock the college football world. t the university daily kansan thursday, September 18 JAYPLAY Volunteers feed the homeless, save lives and build homes.

BY BRANDI GARVIN When most of the community sleeps, there is one group whose work is just beginning. Under the veil of darkness, gangs work hard to make dough, figuratively and literally. Bakers work early hours so that customers will have fresh doughnuts, cakes and bread to start their day. When walking into Munchers Bakery, 925 Iowa St., you will notice the display case full of fried and baked cakes, doughnuts and danishes. At 7 a.m., owner Mike Tennyson has been baking for six hours. He comes in at midnight and starts the batter for the doughnuts to have them ready for employee Tomasa Parker to fry when she arrives at 3 a.m. "We have to have them ready for the 6 a.m. customers," Tennyson says. Though Munchers is open 24 hours a day, it has a wave of customers that starts at around 6 a.m. An hour later, customers are still streaming in. They order a dozen mini cinnamon rolls, danishes, strawberry knots, and coffee, caffeinated or decaffeinated, to wash it down. WYLDURF LAWRENCE Corey Roelofs, one-year employee of Great Harvest, checks the temperature of the freshly baked bread to make sure it is ready. Sean Smith/Kansan "We like the rain," Sunday Martin says as she separates egg yolks from the egg whites. She says the rain and cold weather bring out more customers. She's been working for her dad, Tennyson, since a few months after he bought Munchers 14 years ago. Along with the rain, the churning of the industrial-sized mixer, and the cooking timers sounding, you can hear Parker at the front of the bakery greeting customers by name. No bread is baked at Munchers. Doughnuts are half the business it receives, dealing mainly in sugar Tennyson says. "The regular customers come back for the product and atmosphere," Tennyson says. The bakers make everything from doughnuts to carrot cakes from scratch They make all their own fillings excluding the fruit fillings. Great Harvest bakery, 807 Vermont deals mainly in whole grains. "We make very simple breads," Bob Garrett, owner, says. Most of the bakery's breads are vegan. Garrett just prefers simple breads. "We grind our wheat flour daily," Garrett says. "Everything is made from scratch." Great Harvest produces 200 loaves of bread on an average day. "It's the best way to make it," Garrett says. He and his wife, Jo Ann, a KU alumnus, opened the bakery seven years ago. Garrett starts his day at 4 a.m. and finishes baking around noon. Per week, Great Harvest bakes 30 different breads, mostly sandwich breads. Garrett says he bakes "cheesy, spicy" breads, fruit breads and "old-fashioned" sweets such as cinnamon rolls, but "nothing fancy." Around the holidays they bake special 4 jayplay thursday, September 18, 2003 items, such as pies, fruit breads and gingerbread men at Christmas.

When regular customers come in, Garrett says, the employees know them by name and know what breads they want. The atmosphere at Great Harvest is very social, Garrett says. "We have time." Once the baking is done, they listen to music and talk with the customers. Afternoons are spent doing customer service and deliveries, Garrett says. Great Harvest provides bread to the Merc, the Westside Deli in the Kansas Union, and local caterers.

VIVA LAS VEGAN VEGAN-FRIENDLY BREADS Sometimes, when people hear the word "vegan," a bell goes off in their minds, and they react in one of two distinct ways. First, they could have the fearfully uneducated reaction. This is when their eyes bug out and they shout, "What? This is vegan? No animal or living thing suffered to make this? No, thank you, I like to taste my food!" Or, the second: the more sedate and enlightened, "Ahl Vegan. Perhaps, I'll give it e try and really enjoy it." When it comes to vegan breads, however the crust of the master seems to a bit harder to cut off. That is because most bread is, in fact, vegan. The trouble comes with sweet breads, or those containing honey. If it looks healthy and full of stuff, it is more likely to be vegan than if it takes sugery and sweet," says All Coulteron, Chicago senior and bread baker. To know if broad is vegan is pee thing, but to know the advantages of eating vogan loaves is another. For some, the ethics involved in the use of animal by products influences their entire diet and goes beyond a slice of bread or two. Apart from the philosophic stance, eating vegetal bread also saves you from bleach hot flushing.

We had been dating a year when our leases ran out and we were looking for new roommates. Because we spent all of our time together anyway, it seemed pointless to pay two rents. It caused quite a stir among our parents. But for us, it was the rational thing to do. Now, three years later, we are still living together and thinking about eventually, heading down the aisle. But something that my newly-wedded friend told me gave me pause. Couples that live together before marriage are 50 percent more likely to divorce than those who don't. Have I damned myself to divorce before I've been proposed to? National studies seem to think so. At the forefront of this research is Rutgers University's National Marriage Project. Its mission is to "provide research and analysis on the state of marriage in America and educate the public on the social, economic and cultural conditions affecting marital success and wellbeing." In 2003, the study found most young American couples had lived together outside of marriage. One-fourth of unmarried women ages 25 to 39 are living with a partner and another fourth have before. Roughly half of all couples in their first marriage lived together. Reasons for the rise in cohabiting couples are diverse. The National Marriage Project found that today, sexual activity occurs at a younger age, while marriage occurs later in life to accommodate educational and career goals. During this extended period of time, cohabitation can save people money, provide companionship and allow for sexual activity in a relatively safe environment. "Concern about divorce is a big factor," Dorian Solot, executive director of the Alternatives to Marriage Project says. "Most young people are very concerned about avoiding divorce, so they want to be absolutely sure this is 'the one' before they get married.." The risk you're taking is ending up divorced, writes David Popenoe and Barbara Dafoe Whitehead, co-directors of the National Marriage Project. Their study shows that marriages beginning with cohabitation are 46 percent more likely to end. Cohabitating couples are also at an increased risk for domestic violence and report lower levels of happiness and well-being. overall. There's no reason to be afraid that if you live together, your relationship is doomed." Solot sees cohabitation as a chance to build confidence in relationships. "Let's face it; the institution of marriage comes with a lot of baggage. Many of the people I talk to say they like having the freedom to define their relationship and their roles themselves, based on what works for them, not what a 'wife' or 'husband' is Solot agrees cohabitators that go on to marry have higher divorce rates. But cohabitation isn't necessarily the cause. "When you think about who those people are who don't cohabitate, it's pretty predictable: people who are older, more religious, more conservative politically and more strongly opposed to divorce. But that's not because they did or did not live together — it's because of who they are A Photo Illustration by Z. Gordon Strauss/Kansen Cohabitation doesn't have to be a fight. Learning how to compromise when living with your significant other can make a relationship all that much stronger. 6 jayplay thursday, september 18, 2003 supposed to do or be." "It is a good opportunity to learn about relationships. Young people need to try out roles to see if it fits for them in the future. Given the high divorce rate it's good to consider taking the time they need before entering into this legal contract," John V. Spiridigliozzi, psychologist says. Spiridigliozzi, a practitioner at Psychological Resources Inc., 1711 Massachusetts St., says cohabitation is natural to all human beings, while marriage evolved for political and economic reasons. "The institution of marriage is losing members. It seems not to be working. We need to rethink the construct of what marriage is and what it means." Before you start packing your bags and giving your landlord notice, take time to think about what you're getting into. If you are going to live together, wait until you're engaged and have set a wedding date. This is the least harmful form of cohabitation. Also, live together for the shortest amount of time possible. Solot advises having a candid conversation about expectations before moving in. Discuss big things such as marriage, kids and career goals, even if it is not in your immediate future. "If one of you thinks you're practically engaged while the other thinks you're just going to save money on rent for a while, you're in for an ugly surprise a year down the road." She also recommends waiting until you are sure this is the right decision for you and your relationship rather than rushing into things. If you are already living together Spiridigliozzi maintains that constant communication is a key to making it work. "Be open with your partner. Discuss your feelings and needs." —Becky Rogers, Jayplay writer, can be reached at brogers@kansan.com. LOSE LOVE, NOT MONEY You hate that he drinks milk out of the carton, especially now since he's no longer your boyfriend but still your roommate. If you'd had a plan, maybe that 800-square-foot apartment would be yours alone instead of still being shared with your past love. Don't get aggravated, get smart. Here's a heads-up for what to look out for before the big move and some advice for those struggling to move on. Couples considering cohabitation can find simple advice from Legal Services for Students director Jo Hardesty - don't do it. She says because leases are joint, if the pair splits, one of the two is legally left footing the bill. "You better be pretty darn committed and realize you take a chance," Hardesty says. Even if you were cautious and had a personal contract drawn up in addition to your apartment lease, you're still not off the hook. Should things get messy, small claims court is where you'll be headed. Suing your once sweetheart might be the only option if you hope to see the money you're entitled. But if you do win, you have to go through a collections office to get the money in your hands. Paying double rent for four months or longer while waiting to collect certainly isn't a nice way to return to singledom. While Legal Services for Students can help, it can only act on the behalf of one student and the other must get representation from a private attorney. If you have your heart set on a move in, go for it but keep issues in mind, such as money management. A joint checking account in addition to each of your individual accounts ensures that your once honey can't steal your money. Use this account to pay your bills and rent and that's it. While losing money may not be your fear, spending it should be. You should be extremely cautious with your money, says modern-day cupid Melissa Darnay. "Keep your money as separate as possible, especially if it's a first-time cohabitation," she says. One of you can buy the couch while the other is responsible for purchasing the kitchen table. So if you do call it quits, splitting up property won't be an additional burden. Darnay, author of Dating 101, says to keep in mind the strain of an emotional breakup and the possibility of being plunged into poverty should your ex spend all of the money. "People may think it's cold but you're not planning to break up. But if it does happen you don't want to have the added trauma," she says. Darnay also says to move in with a plan and shared expectations. Sit down and talk with your partner pre-move-in and decide where you see the relationship going. If you plan on getting married,put a time frame on it. That will help bring stability to you and your partner's commitment. Approach moving in with your partner as a roommate situation. While it may sound less romantic, you're protecting both of you. "You're not going to save money if you're unhappy," says Tina Tessina, psychotherapist and author of How to be a Couple and Still be Free. Know how you'll deal with it if your other half doesn't live up to his or her responsibilities. The key is thinking ahead and not letting your heart take control of your head. Be up front with your expectations and plans for expenses. Make a financial plan and stick to it. With a firm hand on your money, you're sure to have less cohabitation frustration. —Jacqueline Lenart Is this whose number you got last night? 600 whenever minutes FREE long distance & roaming UNLIMITED night & weekend minutes $39.99 per month We make sure you get a great plan and phone...but we can't guarantee the phone numbers you pick up.

Seventh St. Z. Gordon Strauss/Kansan Tempting drinks, great people and unforgettable atmosphere promise an escape from the daily grind. Check out these three great-tasting local coffee shops. BY ASHLEY ARNOLD, KIM ELSHAM AND JULIE JANTZER Coffee shops are our homes away from home. We seek out a few to test the waters, then choose the one that best fits our personality and needs. They are our living rooms, our dens, and our offices. We sit in comfortable chairs, have drinks and snacks, and have a peaceful place to work or hang out with friends. Downtown Lawrence has more than 10 coffee shops to choose from, but we have chosen three that suit a wide range of personalities, interests and tastes. Starting near campus, Café Luna, 620 W.12th St., offers students a place to hang out and get away from the daily stresses of school. Tucked behind the Crossing, 618 W.12th St., Café Luna is a nearby alternative for those who would rather sit and relax than go to the bars. "I call this my living room rather than my coffee shop," Roxie Kalar, part-owner, says. "We even have poker tournaments with the regulars." She says that her patrons all know each other and are daily customers. Café Luna makes you feel at home with the décor. There's plenty of indoor seating with a long bar, deep red retrostyle booths, a couch and coffee table to rest your feet. The scuffed-up black-and-white tile floor reiterates the retro feeling, while the local art hung on the walls gives Café Luna its hometown flavor. Kalar says people even show up with their guitars and play on the patio. The live music takes place almost every Friday and Saturday night, perhaps because Café Luna's customers are no longer studying these nights. "It's a laidback, loud, community jam session." Kalar says. Last Friday night it sponsored "Go Folk Yourself," featuring songwriter Kevin Lee Clark. Tomorrow, Café Luna will host Michael Garfield at 8 p.m. Moving North, you will find Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St., on the corner of Seventh and New Hampshire streets. Java Break provides you with another place to drink your espresso or Chai tea, but also a place to surf the Web. This 24-hour coffee shop has indoor and outdoor seating: tables, chairs, and benches outdoors, and tables and softer seating in one of the three indoor rooms, one of which is smoke-friendly. A variety of students hang out at night, says Molly Winters, a manager. In the earlier evening she says most of the customers are diligently studying, but once the late night or early morning rolls around more customers come to just hang out with friends. "I just don't like the library environment," Shannon Bernsee, Chicago senior says. She and friend, Holly Pantelleria, Overland Park senior, say they come to Java Break once or twice a week to study or hang out. Both say they prefer the coffee shop environment because of the music, fewer distractions, and available caffeine. "You can't get good coffee at a library," Bernsee says. Coffee lovers who want to invent new caffeine creations can mix and match flavors from the menu for a new drinking experience. Or, they can try a Cold-o-Matic or Fruit-o-Matic that have flavors ranging from the choco-nilla to the straw-nanna. For non-coffee options, there are a variety of soda fountain flavors, hot chocolate, steamers and Chai tea. When hunger sets in, feed your craving with a sone, piece of cheesecake or a muffin. If you need a larger meal, go for a panini or salad. Just one block south is Henry's, 11 E. 8 jayplay thursday, September 18, 2003 Eighth St. When walking into this smoke-friendly coffee shop, the area is comfortably lit with some tiny bistrosized wooden tables outlining the cozy shop. The full coffee bar sits in front of a three-panel oil painting with an Oscar Wilde quote below it: "Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess." The area by the window has two roomy tables, which are ideal if you have a large group with you. Try to get the table next to the magnetic poetry wall and let your caffeine-infused mind be your muse. Surrounded by plaster and natural stone walls painted in rich shades of burgundy and evergreen, hanging out at Henry's is like hanging out at home, but with better coffee. "We have some people that act like this is their second home," says Alison Tempero, barista at the shop. "We even get phone calls for them." The eclectic assortment of bar tops, tables, and comfortable chairs coincide with the vast selection of books and board games near the back of the shop. Feel free to spend your late nights here as Henry's doesn't close until 2 a.m. During finals week they are open 24 hours. The ground level is not the only place you and your friends can repose. Henry's has outdoors patio seating and a cocktail bar upstairs that opens at 5 p.m. daily. You don't have to be 21 if you want to take your downstairs drink upstairs. There are three upstairs rooms and a back deck. Experienced baristas provide quick, friendly service and are quick to recognize repeat customers. Henry's is not just a place to bring your books, it's a place to meet people. The smaller tables on the ground floor almost insist that you sit next to someone new. Ashbrook says this has sparked new friendships for her and it inspires refreshing conversation. "I know so many people that hang out on their porch, drink wine and solve the world's problems," says Ashbrook. "For me, I come here." Whether you're in need of a new study atmosphere, a place to be entertained or just some familiar faces, Lawrence is sure to have a coffee shop that best suits your needs and cup of joe. BACON Aaron Showalter /Kensan ian Ang, Singapore senior, worked on his sociology paper at Henry's, 11 E. Eighth St., last Thursday night. MIDWEST HIP-HOP Heiruspecs (HIGH-roo-spex, named for a haruspec, an ancient Roman soothsayer) brings its groovy, jazzy brand of hip-hop to the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. Friday. The promising group stakes its claim in the growing Midwest hip-hop scene by dropping the turntables for a full band atmosphere with percussion, bass and keys. Speaking of atmosphere, Heiruspecs often backs Midwestern powerhouses such as Atmosphere (who will bounce into the Granada Oct.4). The youthful troupe formed in 1997 while playing in a high school performing arts program and has established a following and opened shows for acts such as Jurassic 5, Sage Francis, Busta Rhymes and the White Stripes. Heiruspecs' chill, danceable melodies feature extra-clever, honest lyrics as has become the central states independent hip-hop norms. The exception to the rule is "And," from 2002's Small Steps, which is one of those I'm-better-than-youMr.-Crappy-MC tracks, but at least they acknowledge they're not "the best" at what they do. Heiruspecs rocks the Granada stage for an 18-and-over crowd.

A woman next to me politely asks about school, my major and what I plan to do when I graduate as she shifts bundles from one arm to another, and her weight from one thin soled shoe to the next. A rumbling of impatience starts from the back of the crowd that has now grown to the curb; an array of ages and colors, some with plastic sacks and sleeping bags. A woman with gray hair, somebody's grandmother, stands next to a woman in a wheelchair, somebody's daughter. The woman next to me tells me about her brother who is a successful database administrator. A young couple arrives, the mother bouncing her baby to quiet her until they can reach the dining hall. A heavy door stands locked, a barrier between a warm dry dining area and rainy weather. I wait patiently with everyone else to get in out of the rain. Dozens of eyes stare curiously at me, showing hunger and tried patience. The doors open and an eager rush propels the crowd forward into the basement of First Christian Church, 1000 Kentucky St. Volunteers head toward the kitchen to heat up prepared dishes and set long tables with rolled silverware, casseroles, salads and desserts. Guests at L.I.N.K., Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen, can serve themselves coffee while waiting for a sign that the food is ready. Guests make their way around tables, much like a buffet, served by volunteers who place steaming piles of food onto their plates. For some of the guests, this is the one hot meal they can count on, no questions asked. thursday, September 18, 2003 By Tabatha Beerbower er Volunteers serve 100 to 150 meals every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. Anyone can volunteer by dropping by around noon, or can help out by bringing donations of milk, salads, dressings, breads and prepared dishes. In the midst of it all stands Coordinator Becky Owens. Her mom brought her up volunteering in food kitchens.She took on the job because she wanted to keep that influence going. Still in school and only two months on the job, Owens depends on volunteers to back her up in the L.I.N.K. mission. Some volunteers have been coming since the kitchen opened 18 years ago. Beth Shultz, Lawrence resident, has been volunteering for L.I.N.K. for 10 years; she says, to try to be useful. Shultz says that volunteering gives her a chance to meet homeless people and to try to understand the complexities of their situation. "I would strongly encourage other people to get involved," she says as she neatly wraps silverware. "It is important that homeless people are not just regarded as statistics or abstractions, they are our neighbors." FEEDING THE MASSES The chill of the morning leaves frost on the windows of the First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St. People sit on the damp steps, hands in their pockets, or coats and blankets pulled tight around them. It is six o'clock in the morning. They are waiting for the Jubilee Café to open. When the doors open to the Café every Tuesday and Friday morning, a flood of warm light fills the dining room decorated with round tables and folding chairs. The smell of coffee tingles the nose and the aroma of sizzling bacon and freshly baked biscuits sets your stomach growling. Here there is much to rejoice. Volunteers greet patrons and invite them to sit down. Waitresses and waiters fetch coffee and orange juice, then present their guests with a menu. Second helpings of hash browns, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, eggs and toast are plentiful. Volunteers are encouraged to grab a plate themselves and sit down for conversation. "It forces volunteers to experience poverty and homelessness first hand," Ashley Stallbaumer, co-coordinator, says. Liz Villines, co-coordinator, agrees that this is a more beneficial experience than just learning about these issues in a classroom. "I think it brings our community together." Volunteers, mostly students, arrive at 6 am to begin setting up and cooking nutritious food. After the bustle of a roadside café, volunteers stack up folding chairs and wipe down tables. Maureen Morton, KU graduate, contentedly wipes a countertop. "I volunteer because Jesus asks us to take care of each other, and it doesn't really matter where you are, there is always sometime in your life where you need someone to take care of you," Morton says. She folds the dishrag over again. "For a lot of people this is the first time they see a different life than what they are used to," she says. "People are prejudice against poor people and they don't know why. And when they meet them, they're just like anyone else." BUILDING HOPE, BUILDING HOMES As a family sits cramped in a small living room watching TV on a Saturday afternoon, the phone rings. A tired mother answers the call, turning suddenly to her husband. "Honey, we were approved for the house!" One-hundred-thousand families have entered into a partnership to build their own simple, decent home with Habitat for Humanity worldwide. Habitat for Humanity's goal is to provide 150,000 homes for low-income families by 2005. Lawrence Habitat, 412 E.9th St., began in 1989 and dedicated its 50th house in Douglas and Jefferson counties just a few weeks ago. Jean Lilley, executive director, says that this year, their goal is to build six houses. She explains how families are obligated to put "sweat equity hours" into their homes, but that over 300 volunteers work on a typical Lawrence Habitat house. Lilley says many volunteers get involved when their churches hold a work day, but individuals are welcomed. No experience is necessary, although Lilley says that Habitat occasionally get construction workers who dedicate their time because they are not happy just building houses for privileged society. Lilley stresses that one reason for people to get involved with Habitat is because it gives them a chance to work with people they normally wouldn't work with. "It's very rewarding," she says. "You can step back and actually see what you have done, or what a group of people have done in a short amount of time." The rewards seem endless. "For most of these people, this is the first time they have had full responsibility for their own home," Lilley says. "I think that we are an organization that can bring hope to people for their futures. We say it's a hand up, not a hand out." Since helping families build houses is such a unique experience, Habitat doesn't seem to have a problem keeping volunteers around. Lack of property and funds are the biggest problems facing the organization. Even if you don't have a plot of land to give away, there is a way for students to help. In the month of October, the KU branch of Habitat will be competing with K-State's Habitat in an aluminum can drive. The branch that collects the most cans wins a $50,000-grant. Collection boxes will be located around campus, so pop a top and help build a house! The beat of the music pulses through your body as the heat rises in the club. You see that hottie staring at you from across the room again. You bring up the courage to make your way to those flirtatious eyes. You bump into someone, expressing an apology when they hand you a small round package. You look down; to your surprise, it's a latex condom. Passing out condoms is part of the Douglas County AIDS Project (DCAP) Downtown Outreach program. DCAP volunteers venture downtown into clubs and bars distributing literature and safer sex supplies. Buck Rowland, education outreach coordinator, says that this allows their volunteers to reach 300 to 800 people in less than two hours, UNTIL THERE'S A CURE... thursday, september 18, 2003 jayplay 11 JUDY MICHAEL I am a member of the African American Writers Guild, which is dedicated to promoting and supporting African American writers.

"The meeting was informative, but not what I thought it would be. I'm a little afraid of answering phones, but the meting gave me confidence to do the training," Linderer said. -Kit Leflour/Kansan Headquarters counseling center, one of the oldest 24-hour counseling centers in the nation, held an informational meeting for possible volunteers on Thursday, August 28th. Headquarter's mission is to provide personal assistance through counseling, education and informational services to people in need. —Kit Leflour/Kansan Through the Outreach program, volunteers distribute over 60,000 condoms a year through passing them out and filling condom bowls at locations around town, such as The Java Break, 17 E. 7th St. DCAP also sets up safer sex information tables at businesses, concerts and taverns. "Volunteers are very integral in getting us into places we've never been before," Rowland says. Last year, DCAP was able to send speakers to some KU sororities because members of their houses had joined as volunteers. Volunteers with a more hands on approach can join the Taking Care of Business program, assisting people living with HIV/AIDS with housework, running errands and doctor visits. The staff at DCAP,2518 Ridge Court, is coming up with new campaigns where volunteers solicit donations to provide people living with HIV/AIDS with necessities such as phone cards, gas vouchers and gift cards. Another avenue is the tentatively named Angels in Action program. Shannon Ikerd, case manager, calls this low-impact volunteering because it allows volunteers to incorporate their knowledge of HIV/AIDS into other groups of the community that they are already involved with. "The most important thing that volunteers can do is know about HIV/AIDS," Rowland says. Volunteers go through a four-hour training session and give a three-month commitment, although Marilee McCleerey Jansen, client care coordinator, says that they have no expectations on how much time volunteers dedicate. "We help to foster a dynamic of caring for people with HIV/AIDS or are affected by HIV/AIDS," she says. To raise money for programs and awareness, the DCAP Red Ribbon Art Auction will be held on Sunday. November 23 at the Naismith Ballroom in Spring Hill Suites by Marriott in the Riverfront Plaza. DCAP is seeking donations of original artwork to be auctioned at the event. Contact Janet Horner, Auction chair, at 841-2234. Big eyes follow you from behind thick cage bars. An occasional whine or lonely meow pierces the quiet as little paws scratch at the air. THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS & DOGS You may not think of animals when you think of volunteering,but our four-legged friends need help just as much as we do.The American Humane Society estimates more than 2,000 dogs and 3,500 cats are born in the United States every hour. Approximately 15 million dogs and nine million cats enter shelters as strays and more than 15 million healthy cats and dogs will be put down because they are unwanted. The Society tries to find homes for these animals and educates people on proper care and techniques to keep the population down. That's a dog-gone big job. At the Lawrence Humane Society, 1805 E.19th St., Midge Grinstead, executive director, is just as happy to see volunteers walk through the door as the cats and dogs."As money gets tighter, we rely more and more on volunteers," Grinstead says.Coming up approximately $80,000 short this year, Grinstead had to cut five staff positions and raise fees.With a shortened staff, Grinstead needs volunteers to associate with the animals, clean up and work at informational events and fundraisers.Volunteer training meetings are the first Thursday of every month and volunteers can visit the shelter as often as they like.The five-year-old volunteer program never falls short of people who want to work with the animals, but fundraising events, which are equally important, are often short staffed.Besides funds, the Society runs short on cat and dog food and toys, soap and cleansers, and blankets and towels.Volunteers try everything to raise money, including making items to sell such as cat toys, bandannas for your pooch and even a pet recipe book complete with directions for catnip cookies. You can catch volunteers at local businesses on Saturday afternoons behind an information booth, accepting donations, or even parading a furry friend or two at Hastings' story time. Grinstead, who works 12 hours a day, six days a week, appreciates volunteers like Carol Ingham, Lawrence resident. Besides just taking the animals outside to play, volunteers also visit nursing homes and local schools to give the animals a chance to get used to being around people and promote the Society's mission. "They don't get out of the cages unless people are here," Ingham says. She started volunteering six months ago because she was sad when she came to look at the dogs in cages. She says it is important for volunteers to show the animals that people aren't bad. Grinstead believes that the Society has something to offer volunteers that no one else has to offer - the human-animal bond. "Animals don't care what you look like, they don't are what you're wearing. They don't care how many times you tell them the same story. They just want to be with you. The thing about animals is that they give you unconditional love." ON THE LINE On a sunny Friday afternoon she sits behind a closed door. With the phone in hand and a look of patience on her face, she is listening intently, nodding her head occasionally. Kirsten Zucht, Lenexa junior, emerges from the office taking a break from answering calls only to explain how she came to Headquarters six weeks ago because she was looking for a place to volunteer where she could reach out to the community. "I think that it's a comfort to the community that there's a place that they can call anonymously to get support, information and encouragement," she says. Headquarters, 211 E. 8th St., was a drug crisis center established in 1969 as part of a movement to provide hotline assistance. Perhaps known best as a suicide prevention hotline, Marcia Epstein, director, says that her trained staff of volunteers offers personal assistance through counseling about anything that might be bothering callers. The hotline is confidential, safe and easy to use 24 hours a day, including the Phone-A-Fried hotline for children who are home alone and need grown up advice or just need to confide in an adult. About 60 volunteers put in approximately 15,000 volunteer hours a year through fourhour and overnight shifts. To volunteer you must attend an informational meeting held before the start of each KU semester. "What people are saying about our training is that this not only prepares them for this job, but that it makes them better listeners," Epstein says. "Some people are using it for professional development." Having taken a variety of calls at Headquarters, Zucht feels that it takes a certain kind of person to volunteer there someone open to different lifestyles. Not wanting to deter people, Zucht mentions that not only is she exposed to a variety of people who call, she has met a lot of caring people who volunteer. Of course some days are better than others. "I've left here feeling like I've really helped someone, but sometimes I've left feeling like I wish I could have done more," Zucht says. If you're worried that Headquarters might not be the place for you to volunteer, heed Zucht's advice to go and find volunteer work that interests you. "I think there is a place for everyone to volunteer," she says. "It might not be here, but it's somewhere not far from here." 12 jayplay thursday, September 18, 2003 WELCOME TO Fabulous JAYPLAY LIVE PRESENTED BY THE BOTTLENECK and THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN the BOTTLENECK ENTER Enter Now and your band could be selected to play the first annual JAYPLAY LIVE concert.

BY JACQUELINE LENART Butterflies flutter in your stomach each time you think about taking your first exam of the semester. But before your anxiety gets out of control, consider these tips from an upperclassman. Take the reins and ace your exam. CLASS Although it probably doesn't have to be said, go to class. Exceptions to the rule exist where not going can still earn you an A, but they aren't the norm. Attending class helps you retain the information and get a better idea of what you'll be tested on. Just because attendance isn't taken doesn't mean you're off the hook. If you 2 1/2 you're supposed to be there, it could end up saving you study time later. Also, listening to your professor in class will save you from relearning the material at home. Sitting in class confused each day? Raise your hand. If public speaking isn't your scene, then ask after class or pop an e-mail to your professor or graduate teaching assistant. "Chances are if you don't understand something in your notes your fellow classmates may also be in the dark," says Donna Ginther, economics associate professor. Seek clarity so you're one step closer to acing that first test. Pay Attention Skip out on reading the University Daily Kansan and taking class cat- Lingo Lesson Don't just ask questions, be specific. Look for detailed answers that will help explain main ideas. Get down the words Lindsey Riechers/Kensan Classes can have their dry moments but make sure that when you leave, you at least understand the purpose of the lecture. "I often suggest to students that right after class they take five minutes to go over their notes and write down main points of the lecture and to fit that into the overall class content," says Johan Feddema, geography associate professor. naps says Tony Clark, American studies assistant professor. "Take advantage of the opportunity you have to be in school," he says. "You won't be here forever." Listening during class, as surprising as it may seem, can actually help you retain more information. Lindsey Riechers/Kensan used in class so that you don't just know their meaning through context clues. Learn the vocabulary of the course, Clark says. "When words are used with which you are not familiar, by all means, write them down." By Example Don't just go home with your notes and little or no direction. Ask your professor for a sample test question and an idea of the test's format. Will you have a scantron or will you write essays? Different studying techniques will be most helpful once you know how you'll have to answer the test questions. See if your professor is even willing to provide a study guide or past exams. Why not ask away for all you can get. After all, how can it hurt? STUDY Take Note How well you'll do on your test starts with how well you study. You have your notes, your book, and your most valuable resource - your brain. So put on your thinking cap and pay attention because here are some tips from University of Kansas faculty members. While it sounds obvious, pay attention to your notes. Many times a test will cover much more from class notes than information from the book. Test yourself before your professor does by writing down as much as you can about individual topics. Pay attention to the details without overlooking main ideas; it's a careful balance. "Learn specifics and be prepared to use them," says John Hoopes, anthropology associate professor. "Know enough of the detail of your subject matter that you can draw upon specific exam 14 jayplay thursday, september 18, 2003 ples in essays and short answers." Subject Matter 信告 Keep in mind the subject that you're studying for. Sounds simple, but it's easy to make note cards for every subject regardless of the material. Different subjects warrant varying approaches. Your brain is tested differently for a history exam versus a math exam. "The best way to do well in a math class is to not fall behind," professor of mathematics, Judith Roitman says. "When you're studying for the exam, be sure to work problems similar to the homework problems," she says. "Just reading the text and going over notes without working through problems doesn't really teach you the material." Think back on what's been emphasized so far in the class and the format in which it was taught. This will give you an idea of what's important to know. If your history professor seems obsessed with dates (big shocker), expect to see some on the exam. TEST It's test day. You have your pencil in hand and your heart is racing. Did you cover all of the information? Did you get enough sleep and eat a solid breakfast? Before you even read the exam questions, you already have a million things running through your mind. Stop doubting yourself. It's down to the wire, but these last minute hints are sure to help slow down your racing mind and heart and prepare you so your test worries will soon turn to celebration. What I talk to freshman about concerning their work load is about learning how to budget their time. I recommend that they make a schedule, remembering to schedule in fun as well as work." —Cima Katz, art professor. Turn Off Put an end to negative self-talk. Don't psych yourself out and blow your chance to do well. Instead, assure yourself and build your confidence. As the old expression goes, "Ninety percent of life is just showing up." So, do it - show up. Show what you know. Give yourself a pep talk to help boast your self-esteem and push toward getting through the exam. Multiple Choices Exercise your right to choose. Turn multiple guesses back into multiple choice with a revised approach. Try restating the question in your own words when you hit a road block. "On multiple choice it really is true that the first answer is more likely to be the correct one," says Diana Bartelli Carlin, dean of international programs. She also says to read carefully and look out for tricky wording, like 'not' in test questions. Additional words such as this can change a questions meaning. Don't overlook multiple parts of a question, she says. No Rush Hour Take a breather - literally. Calm down and catch your breath if you begin to get too overwhelmed. Realize that stress will only intensify if you let it. You don't have control of what will be on the test but you do determine your performance, so make sure you are answering attentively. Even though you're timed, isn't it worth your while to slow down and cool down if it means you're getting more questions right? POST-TEST Your worries are behind you. Well, maybe not, but at least the anxiety of taking the test is over and you know you won't have to study again for a short while. So how about a little celebration? Indulge yourself a little so you have immediate positive results until you get that A test back. 8 a.m. to midnight, Mon. Thu 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fri. 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sat. 10 a.m. to midnight, Sun.

These notes are not intended and have not been prepared to serve as a substitute for the text itself," or so says the first page of Cliff's Notes, that popular brand of study guides, which too often replaces actual novels for college students. Cliff's Notes and its competitors, such as internet-based SparkNotes and PinkMonkey.com, offer synopses and critical evaluations of novels popular with college and high school English teachers. While the average English professor probably won't notice you haven't actually read the book, slackers won't get everything out of a study guide they'd get from a novel, says Michael Valk, English Department lecturer. He adds that reading a book is an experience with language and its use, not just knowing facts. "The point is to give the student a vision of human experience. You're simply not going to get that from Cliff's Notes," he says. But the road to slacking is paved with good intentions, and sometimes even the best student needs a study guide. Valk recommended the guides as a review for a test or essay. With that in mind, JayPlay set out to find which study guide provides the best insight into the classic novel The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The results for Cliff's Notes, SparkNotes, and Pink Monkey are below. The granddaddy of study notes has some nice features, such as a glossary of terms for each chapter. Pretty handy if you've ever wondered what 'escutcheon' or 'triple ruff' meant. Valk also liked how Cliff's addressed the major Cliff's Notes themes of the book. As with all the study guides we looked at, the plot summary was accurate ChiffeNotes from Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter That will take a minute and the reader will. Fast Trusted. Proven. bookmark us at chiffenotes.com. and somewhat detailed. Commentary on the novel made valid arguments with a basis in the historical criticism of the book. However, Valk thought the commentary could have used more quotations as evidence and to provide students with an example of how Hawthorne used language. SparkNotes SparkNotes started out playing second fiddle to quizzes about death and sex on thespark.com, a college humor Web site. Now, although still linked through thespark.com, it's owned and maintained by Barnes & Noble. Valk seemed surprised with SparkNotes and said it was the best written of all the guides. "Clearly the author has read the work and some of the good criticism of professional hands," he said. "The author is probably a professional writer." Valk also noted that the commentary was backed up with ample amounts of quotations. Pink Monkey PinkMonkey.com is less well known than the other two brands, and probably for good reason. "This seems to be written far more simply and in such a way as to be especially accessible to someone who hasn't read the novel," Valk said. Although he called the summary and criticism accurate, Valk worried the language had been dumbed down too much to give a good approximation of the actual novel. "The language isn't true to the text," he said. "And you get nothing of the text so you get nothing of Hawthorne." The Final Victor: SparkNotes.com —Maggie Koerth thursday, September 18, 2003 jayplay 15 NOWPLAYING reviews in brief CABIN FEVER R.94 minutes.South Wind 12 Cabin Fever is brutally aware of how comfortable viewers have become to horror films, and like the best works of David Cronenberg (The Fly, Naked Lunch), it takes you to places you don't want to go. Be prepared for some harrowing stuff. After some nasty business involving a stomach that stretches apart like cheese on pizza, a circle of friends gather at a cabin for a week of aimless debauchery. The director, Eli Roth, possesses a crafty sense of what audiences freely associate with horror in the woods, which he uses to one-up our expectations. There's no axe-wielding maniac on the loose in Cabin Fever. The killer is inside the kids, who contract a viral disease that, in keeping with Roth's Old Testament perception of comeuppance, wipes them out like the plague. More cold-blooded than its bio-terror big brother, 28 Days Later, Cabin Fever feels like a bucket of anti-freeze hurled onto a genre that had all but gone up in flames. —Stephen Shupe Grade: B+ CAPTURING THE FRIEDMANS NR.107 minutes, Liberty Hall We are taught from early on that it is best to look at all sides of a story before we form an opinion. Capturing the Friedmans is a film that presents the facts without swaying the audience to either side. It is a masterpiece of contradictions and unresolved truths about what happens to this seemingly typical family. Arnold Friedman was Great Neck, Long Island's most respected teacher. Everything changed when police raided his house and found child pornography. This led to charges that Arnold had been molesting boys in a computer class in his basement for years. Through home movies we see Elaine Friedman being berated by her three sons for having doubts, and we see the heartbreaking events of the night before the trial. Director Andrew Jarecki sifts through the evidence and doesn't try to make up the audience members' minds. Capturing the Friedmans is a documentary about the demise of a family. It hauntingly asks at what costs will they try to stand together and when do they realize that enough is enough. —Lindsey Ramsey Grade: A- THE FIGHTING TEMPTATIONS PG-13, 123 minutes. South Wind 12 A curious feeling of incompleteness runs through this new comedy starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., which opens locally tomorrow. On one level a fresh update of the Broadway smash The Music Man, in which a con artist swindles a backwater town out of its money, The Fighting Temptations fails to connect mostly because of Gooding's erratic lead performance. He goes from endearing to heartless so many times we finally throw up our hands, convinced that the film will never find its center. It never does, even though the script successfully conveys The Music Man's message of empathy as the sacrifice of material gain, while three musical numbers zap the movie to life and give you a spirited lift. At two hours plus, The Fighting Temptations never takes the time to make you care, settling for mawkishness over humanity. The performance that finally beats the goodwill out of the audience comes courtesy of Beyonce Knowles, who's supposed to be playing a dirt-poor mother but shows up as her diva self instead. —Stephen Shupe Grade: D G. 101 minutes, SUA FINDING NEMO Emotionally rich from its earliest scenes, the latest brightly colored confection from Pixar Animation Studios follows a fish named Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) as he searches for a lost son named Nemo (Alexander Gould). Marlin's adventures are populated with some of the most vivid caricatures in recent animation, including a cadre of sharks who hold their own "Fish-eaters Anonymous" meetings and a far-out, surfs-up turtle who's swimming across the English Channel. Marlin also hooks up with Dory, a faithful but forgetful companion, voiced by Ellen DeGeneres in a blissfully comic performance that deserves some kind of year-end recognition. It's important to note that Pixar's films often function on a deeper, more philosophic level that's too sophisticated for the Pokemon crowd. One hint for Nemo might be that the name of its title character means "nothing" in Latin. Whether you choose to pick it apart or take it at face value, the film is exuberantly entertaining, second only to Toy Story in the Pixar pantheon. —Stephen Shupe Grade: A- MATCHSTICK MEN PG-13, 116 minutes, South Wind 12 Matchstick Men is a chance for director Ridley Scott to just sit back, roll camera and let his actors go to town. Nicholas Cage stars as Roy, an obsessive-compulsive con artist, who along with his partner Frank (Sam Rockwell) is trying to pull off a larger than life con. When Roy's daughter (Alison Lohman) shows up, his neurosis goes on overload His daughter wants to learn the business and Roy is torn between his desire to set a good example and his joy in teaching his daughter tricks of the trade. Nicholas Cage is in rare form, delivering a performance that might just bring him his third Oscar nod. Lohman and Rockwell are perfectly cast and both add to the film's brilliant but somewhat confusing twist ending. Matchstick Men is one of those films that follows Ocean's Eleven as a movie that is just plain fun. It is also touching and funny, keeping the audience glued to their seat, unable to look away from the excitement taking place on screen. —Lindsey Ramsey Grade: B+ ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO R. 102 minutes, South Wind 12 In the third installment of the El Mariachi Trilogy, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, director Robert Rodriguez (Desperado) uses sleek action sequences and a wonderful performance by Johnny Depp (Blow) to create a memorable and intriguing modern day western. Depp plays corrupt CIA agent Sands. who finds himself in the middle of a military coup by Drug Lord Barillo (Willem Dafoe, Platoon) and his assistant General Marquez. To prevent the coup Sands hires El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas, Desperado), a legendary hit man. Mariachi takes him up on the offer because of a vendetta he holds with Marquez. Unfortunately there are too many characters with too little to do and the plot's unnecessary twists only seem to confuse audience members. Depp delivers a performance that shadows his fellow cast members. His seedy interpretation of Sands makes the audience laugh while cringing. Despite the twisted plot the movie looks great. Rodriguez stuns the audience with his visual style, using inventive sets and complex action sequences. While this final chapter doesn't quite live up to its predecessors (El Mariachi and Desperado) it is superior to the average action movie, and Rodriguez and Depp fans will want to catch this in the theater. —Cal Creek Grade: B UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN PG-13. 110 minutes. South Wind 12 Diane Lane can only be described in one word, stunning. Anyone who saw her break Richard Gere's heart in Unfaithful knows that. In Under the Tuscan Sun, we get to see a different Lane, one that has had her heart broken and is trying to pick up the pieces. Francais (Lane) has just survived a rocky divorce and needs a vacation. Her friends send her on a tour of Tuscany and on a whim she buys a charming but decrepit villa. The film follows her adventures remodeling the house, making friends and trying to find a new life. The film adheres to the Field of Dreams mantra, "if you build it they will come," and that is what Francais is trying to do: build the house so that her new life will begin. Directed by Audrey Wells, the film is a warm and funny portrait of a woman trying to get back on her feet. It is a fun fall film that allows the audience to just sit back and enjoy the view and the touching story that takes place within it. —Lindsey Ramsey Grade: B 16 jayplay thursday, september 18, 2003 MOVIERATINGS

To gain supporters, energize a community and land a record deal after one release is truly remarkable. This is the position Lawrence-based emcee Approach finds himself, and he hopes to solidify that status with the forth-coming twelve-inch Funk Reaction, set to drop November 18th on the New York label Coup d'etat. Featuring a re-mix from Dan "The Automator" Nakamura's Rondo APPROACH - FUNK REACTION Releases Nov. 18 Brothers, as well as a re-mix of his LP's title track "Ultra Proteus" by Nezbeat of the group Archetype, Approach attempts to elevate his career to the next level. "Coup d'etat heard 'Ultra Proteus.' We ended up doing a joint 50-50 deal for it. They're putting it out on a national level. They brought the re-mixers in, and we're going to release it together and see what happens," says the Kansas City native, who with Brent Lippincott, owns the local record label Datura. "We've got the Deep Thinkers release in November, and the Coup d'etat re-release of my album in January 2004 - we're just establishing ourselves." While most fans of hip-hop would consider collaborating with Nakamura, whose work on Kool Keith's "Dr. Octagon" project made him a legend, to be the apex of a career, Approach's faith in his producer Ben the Scratch Rat has both artists' focused on the future. "We're branching out," says Approach. "We've got cats like Johnny Quest affiliated with us, Mac Lethal, who is working on a record...we're just trying to build the name, build the unity and expand who is under our family tree." Datura records and Project Groove will host a CD release party on Nov.14 at The Pool Room. —Josh Powers Host of "Obscured by Beats" Every Saturday night, 7-9 PM Grade: A+ BEULAH - YOKO Released Sept. 9 San Francisco-based Beulah has been maintaining their balance on the wave of the ever-changing indie rock tide. Yoko, their fourth full-length album, is a moody blend of toe-tapping melodies, alt-country-tinged ballads, and darker, introspective lyrics — a distinct change from the sunny pop sound that made their last album, The Coast is Never Clear, so popular. Yoko is definitely a more diverse attempt for the group of six, and a better orchestrated one as well. Fans of the cheerier-sounding Beulah will be tempted to stick to the first half of the album, but don't overlook the more mature and elegant Beulah that is emerging throughout. *Natalie Yeh* DJ, 3-5 pm Grade: B+ KRAFTWERK - TOUR DE FRANCE SOUNDTRACKS Released Aug.19 Ralf Hutter and Florian Schneider, along with a rotating cast of others, make Kraftwerk, one of modern music's most revolutionary bands.

Tour De France Soundtracks, Kraftwerk's first new album in 20 years, celebrates the cycling event's 100th anniversary, and revisits their 1983 single of the same name. The album is a wonderful return to Kraftwerk's lush, machine-obsessed style and subject matter. It is beautiful, and essential listening for fans of hip-hop, electronic music, and all things modern. —Chris Shively Host of "Superdisco Galactica" Every Friday night, 7-9pm Grade: B KANSAN everyday KAPPA ALPHA THETA SUN RUN Sunday, Sept. 21st 9:00 AM (Late Registration at 8:00 AM) For More Info: Visit Table on Wescoe Beach or Call 830-2925 95.7 TODAY'S HIT MUSIC SHOW & U:MOVE present www.umove.net DIGITAL FUNK FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 26 THE BEAUMONT 4050 PENNSYLVANIA KANSAS CITY MO 10PM DOORS 18 TO ENTER / 21 TO DRINK TICKETS THRU ALL TICKETMASTER OUTLETS FEATURING DIGITAL UNDERGROUND DJ FUNK BUBBA SPARXXX ZAK-C MORE u.move events FRIDAY SEPT 26 DJ VAIDIM with MC BLUE RUM-13 & DJ FIRST NATE at the Jazzhaus SATURDAY OCT 4 AI MUSPHERE with MICHANOTS DODJOBS DEE JAYBIRD BROTHER ALI at the GRANADA MONDAY OCT 20 HIERIDOLYPHICS feat DEL / SOULS OF MISEHIF PEP LOVE / ENCORE LITTLE BROTHER CASDAI at the GRANADA tongue in beak This page is satire.

"No, sir." "Maybe K. U. Jayhawk?" The operator told me never call again. "You got me all wrong!" I yelled into a dial tone. Dis! My phone got hurled all the way to the ground. I can't believe you didn't know there's no Jayhawk. And your knowledge is even punier than that: according to the Census Beauro, there was never was a Jayhawk. In the real world at least. I guess he could exist from one of those mucky countries with no toilets or sports or freedoms. So, how do you like your three-world mascot now? Jayhawk, if your listening, I hate you. I had to buy a new phone because of you! I had to call David Burnham, KU paleontologist and putter-together of the Bambiraptor fossel—an animal that's realer than you! even the it's dead!—just to legitimize the obvious: you are worse than unreal, you are unreal-istic. See, I asked David Burnham, "David, with the Jayhawk's head-body proportions, could it even hold its own stupid head up?" And David Burnham, because he does not got it all wrong, said, "NO!" Are me and David Burnham the only sane people on this planet? I was so orgasmic you couldn't hold your own cranium up, I forgot my follow-up question: "Could the Jayhawk fly?" This doesn't change the fact that you could decidedly not! You couldn't even punch me. You have little buffalo wings like Prince Charles tails! Snap! So just try and do vengeance on me. And good luck climbing up here. I'll throw a phone on your lawnmower-hair head. A phone you won't see coming, because you have bad site, because your irises are oblong and no depth-reception! My knowledge is huge! I am a genius eye-scientist! I was thinking, the existentialists said existence itself takes courage. So? So you have less courage than imaginable! Even Einstein and Shakespeare's baby they had together couldn't imagine your amount of wussyness. Know what? I'm sad your not real. You would get killed apart by cyclones and tigers and even the Baylor bear. I'm gonna call David Burnham again and make him make a real, alive Bambiraptor, from D&A. Then, next year, THAT could be our mascot. I bet if we genetically engeneered you, we'd have to make special head-crutches just so you wouldn't flop around the football match like a meth-addict baby! Your such a big baby, Baby Jay is a redondancy. It's more like, "Smaller Baby Jay." I hope you both boo-hoo-hoo all over each other's nonexistent shoulders next autum when you hear KU chanting, "An apter, chapter, bambiraptor, Kaaaay, Youuiu!" I also hope you can hear better than you can see, so you can hear KU all the way from your underground sex-slave cage in no-toilet land. Oh, and Jayhawk? Better start turning those tricks: you owe me a Jerassic Park phone. Spoldrong is a Dublin, Ireland, graduate student in English. Weight-loss icon Jared gains back lbs in smear campaign against McDonald's HYDRAXAPHOS 28 F Jared in 1998: before he began the now-famous Subway diet Jared in 2001: a weight-loss success story and a patriot By J.C. Hackmuth beak@kansan.com Kansan satire writer After eating nothing but McDonald's Double Cheeseburgers for 10 days, Jared Fogle—the weight-loss success story featured in Subway commercials—has returned to his 1998 weight of 715 pounds. COLUMBIA POTTERY 28 shock at seeing the one time Subway media darling exploited so cruelly Although Fogle's situation made him the butt of weight-loss jokes across the country, many viewers of a new commercial featuring Fogle expressed Marketing experts say Jared's gain in girth is part of a smear campaign designed by Subway to nab the top spot in the fast-food industry from McDonald's. Fogle first made headlines in 1999 after he dropped over 500 pounds by exercising and eating twice a day at his neighborhood Subway in Bloomington, Ind. Jared today: after riding the bus to eat McDonald's twice a day In addition to financing the new commercials, Subway is paying Fogle a reported $7,000 worth of McDonald's products. "It was the saddest thing I've ever seen," said Diedre Liebson, Lawrence junior. "The part of the commercial when he eats all those Happy Meals by himself in the ball bin and then has to buy back his size 86 corduroys from the thrift store, it just breaks my heart." In a recent interview, Fogle appeared weary but amused by the amount of attention his new campaign has drawn. "To be honest, I got kind of tired of Subway," he said. "It's not even good. Every time I go there I get hungry two hours later. And you know what else bugs me about Subway? They try and spruce it up with all their nasty new sauces, and it's still gross." Having given up fitness and social activities, Fogle spends his free time tossing pickles at cardboard cutouts of his once-slim self. He is also currently finalizing publishing deals for his collection of poetry, tentatively titled, "The Wasteline." "Pull your chair up to the fast-food booth and I will tell you a story," Fogle promised. Look for it in bookstores this Spring. WOMYN PROTEST HEROINE LABEL Women all over the country are displaying their dissatisfaction about particular wording that leads to discrimination against their gender. In light of recent releases of films about Spiderman, Daredevil and the Hulk, women are angry about the labeling of female role models. "We want two things," stated Teresa Weiner, President of the Campaign for Womyn's Equality. "We want elimination of gender discrimination and the equality of women. That's women with a y, by the way." Weiner said its main concern consisted of what she called the "hero discrepancy." "Males with super powers are referred to as heroes and females with super powers are referred to as heroines," she said. "We are sick and tired of females having role models represented by the same word for an illegal street drug while males share hyponyx with a delicious Mediterranean sandwich. How When asked about whether there were more pressing issues on the women's rights agenda such as the glass ceiling or the wage gap, Weiner explained that after clearing up the everyday linguistic issues, the rest would fall into place. "After this we are going to tackle the intrinsic inaccuracies of having the word 'bar' in Barbie," she said. "It's unbelievable that men would imply that just because a female lacks testicles, she would become an alcoholic." PRINTER JAM CAUSES MAN TO LOSE DEGREE Jody Reed arg girls supposed to admire these women when it sounds like they're all a bunch of smack queens. It had been a turbulent 10 years, but Gordelle James, Lawrence resident, finally received an e-mail in his National American University mailbox announcing that he had completed his online degree from the famous university, which is well known for their kick-ass Because James' mother has a deep appreciation for picnic-type activities, he chose to study bohemian basket weaving. His minor was going to be ladder making because he enjoyed climbing onto the roofs of his neighbors and velling out "Dookie" by Green Day. television jingle. When he first filled out his student information on the Web site, he had marked "morgue cosmetology" for his major. The screen then came up with an error because that was not one of the available courses in his area. As the James family surrounded the computer Tuesday morning, Gordy clicked on the print icon. The degree started to print, but then there was a screeching noise and a dialog box reading "error, we are having trouble communicating with the printer." After he got the printer to work, the NAU Web site would not allow him to print again. "We cannot just let everyone have two degrees when they graduate," explained the online school's coordinator Mark Bugges. James now has a lawsuit pending with NAU and Canon. —Samuel Wilson Tilson To contact the Tongue in Beak e-mail us at beak@kansan.com --- jayplay 19 weekly specials THE SPOTS THE SPOTS EightOneFive CAFE & NIGHTCLUB EightOneFive CAFE & NIGHTCLUB THE SPOTS Eight One Five CAPE & NIGHTCLUB BULLWINKLES Charlie's East Side grill & bar JACK TEANIGANS LA TASC Pool Room 8 JACK UNO CHICAGO GRILL TONIGHT FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY $2 Almost Anything DJ Soap No Cover $1.50 Red Bull Vodkas $2 Point Draft DJ Mike' Scott $2 Smirnoff Vodkas DJ Soap No Cover Closed $2 Calls $2 Domestic Drafts $2 Microbrew & Import Drafts $4.75 Martinis $3 Long Island Ice Tea $3.50 Jager Bottles $3 24 oz Coors Light Hobo-Bombers $2.75 24 oz Coors Light. $1 Little Dogs, $2.50 Mike's Lemonade $10 for 10 Big Beers 2 for 1 Big Beers $3 Pitchers $2 Bottles $1 Anything! $2.50 16 oz Coors Light Bullets. 2 for 1 Big Beers. $2.50 Mike's Lemonade $6 Pitchers $3.75 Refills $2 - 20 oz Big Draws Bartender's Choice Special $3.50 16 oz Chiefs Glass. $1 Refills • Keep the Glass! $6 Pitchers $3 Refills $2 - 20 oz Big Draws Ladies Night Get in Free $1.50 Bottles $1.50 You Call Its Ladles' Night 21 to Enter No Cover $2.50 Big Beers 18 To Enter $3 Smirnoff Mixers Alternative Lifestyles Night $2 Big Beers Cheap Beer Night! $7.5 Drinks. $2 Micro Drinks. $1.50 Liters. $3.75 Import Drinks $1.50 High Life $3 Rolling Rock Bombers $2 Rolling Rock Long-necks $1.25 Busch Cans Live Music Draws $1 Domestic $1.50 Micro. $1.75 Import Jars $1.75 Domestic Bottles $3.25 Micro Jars $3.75 Import Jars $2 Wells $4 Doubles $2.50 Double Wells Yoruba Son Live Salsa $2 Domestic Pints $2.50 Double Whiskey Reggae & Ska $1.50 Boulevard Pints 2 for 1 Margaritas $2 Wells $2.75 Import Bottles $1 Kami Shots $4 Captain Doubles $2 Bully Pints $3.50 Margaritas $4 Smirnoff Dbls $5 Miller Pitchers $2 MC Ultra. $2.50 Instant Marg $4 Bacardi Dbl. $5 Miller Pitchers $2 Screwdrivers. $3.75 Bloody Marys $3.50 Super Prem Bottles 2-41 Well Single $1 Sex on the Beach $3.75 Dom Gestos $2.25 Dom Bottles $1 Fuzzy Shots $4 Long Islands $5 Miller Pitchers $2 Ice 101 Shots $3.50 Pina Calodas $2 Boulevard Pints $5.95 Chicken Fried Steak $2.50 Import/ Micro Bottles. $2 House Wines.

Board of Education began last night at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. The aftermath of the Brown v. Board of Education has been felt throughout formal education continuously over the last five decades. The two-hour program, Race, Law and the American Creed: Examining the Social and Legal Impact of Brown v. Board of Education, featured nationally renowned speakers. They examined not only what the historic Supreme Court decision has done to break down racial barriers in American school systems, but also what still can be done. The symposium was introduced by Richard Norton Smith, director of the Dole Institute; former Sen. Bob Dole on a pre-recorded video statement; and Cheryl Brown Henderson, the daughter of Oliver Brown. Oliver Brown tried to enroll his thirdgrade daughter, Linda Brown, in an allwhite elementary school that was closer to their home. The NAACP first took the case to trial in 1951, and the case went to the Supreme Court in 1953. Smith said it was fitting that the program began near the origination of the Brown v. Board case in Topeka. "Oliver Brown may not have began the suit against 'separate but equal','but he personified it," Smith said. Franklin Kansas, holds a special place in that journey." John Nowak/Kansas The keynote speakers included V.P. Franklin, David R. Roediger, and Roger Wilkins. was the first to speak and addressed the program's three main goals. The first was how race leads to understanding the significance of Brown v. Board then and now. Second, the program examined the role formal education has played in struggles for equality among ethnic groups. Finally, it discussed how the issues of race, equality before the law and equal opportunity are reflected in the Brown v. Board decision.

Dole Institute of Politics, is the leading candidate to head the new Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Ill. "Smith is at the very top of our list," said Abby Ottenhoff, press secretary for Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Ottenhoff said that the governor's office had been in constant contact with Smith, but no job offer had been made. "Talks are moving along and we're very ontimistic," Ottenhoff said. Smith could not be reached for comment. Erik Nelson, Smith's assistant at the Institute, confirmed that no deal had yet been made, but said that Smith was in line for the job. Smith's reputation makes him a prime candidate for the job, Ottenhoff said. "Clearly he's the only one they want," Nelson said. Smith has previously directed the Eisenhower, Reagan, Ford and Hoover presidential libraries. He also appears regularly on television news programs SEE DOLE ON PAGE 7A Genetics may cause binge drinking By Danielle Hillix dhillix@kansan.com kansan staff writer Researchers said the link could possibly lead to future medications for those with a drinking problem. Blame your parents for that hangover you had last weekend — binge drinking could be in your genes. In a study released this month, college students with a particular version of a common gene tended to have more harmful drinking habits than students with a different version. For the study, researchers surveyed 204 male and female Caucasian college students, all between the ages of 17 and 23. The participants answered questions about their drinking habits and provided saliva samples. "Obviously it's going to take a lot more work," said Paolo D. DePetrillo, National Institute on Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse clinical investigator and co-author of the study. sarva samples Researchers used the saliva to look for the serotonin transporter gene known as 5HTT. The gene is responsible for recycling serotonin in the brain. DePetrillo said that this gene was targeted because of its known connection to anxiety. Everyone is born with either short or long versions of this gene. This leaves the possibility of three combinations: two long strands, two short strands or one long and one short strand. This isn't to suggest that 5HTT is the only gene involved with the binge drinking habit, DePetrillo said. But the research does prove a strong relationship that could lead to a possible cure for serotonin imbalance. Researchers with the NIAAA found that binge drinking was more prevalent in students who had two short strands of the gene. These students reported binge drinking twice as often as students with different forms, DePetrillo said. town inhospitable. "It wouldn't be a magic bullet," DePetrello said. "But perhaps this could lead to a remedy of the problem." lead to a recommendation. Binge drinking, defined as five drinks in a sitting for men and four drinks for women, is a common problem on college campuses. Barbara Ballard, head of the University of Kansas' alcohol task force, said that the University of Kansas was no exception. "We know our students have a problem," Ballard said. "But we're providing education and alternatives for them." All KU residence halls have alcohol education programs in place and Watkins Memorial Health Center also offers educational programs to various campus groups. The alcohol task force began Hawk Nights in 1998 as an alcohol-free alternative to Lawrence nightlife. "Drinking isn't the only kind of recreation that students have." Ballard said. Lisa Matchulat, Milwaukee sophomore, said that activities like Hawk Nights were good for students who didn't want to drink, but she doesn't think the programs discourage drinking. "If people want to go out and drink on the weekends, they're going to go out and drink," she said.

Campus Regents approve parking lot expansion at KU Med Center The Kansas Board of Regents approved an expansion project for the University of Kansas Medical Center yesterday. The project will provide five acres of temporary parking for medical center faculty, staff and students during the construction of the Biomedical Research building. The medical center will lose more than 400 parking spaces during the construction. With improvements to the five acres, located at the north end of the campus, nearly 300 temporary parking spaces will be available. The improvements — including grading, drainage, gravel and lighting — will cost approximately $237,000 and be paid for through the medical center's Parking Revenue Fund. The medical center currently leases the land for $5 per year from the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute. The research institute will repay the medical center the cost of construction and the increase in insurance after the lease expires. Maggie Newcomer Woman reports assault police hunt for suspect An attempted rape was reported Wednesday to the Lawrence Police Department. Sgt. Mike Patrick, Lawrence police department spokesman, said the incident occurred at 2:40 a.m. Sept. 17. A 23-year-old female was walking in the 300 block of West 11th Street when the suspect grabbed her and began touching her inappropriately. When she resisted, the suspect battered her, striking her in the face. The suspect then ran from the area. The suspect was described as a Hispanic or Native American male, 5-feet 9-inch tall, with a bald or shaved head. He had a stocky build and was wearing a dark jacket and dark pants. The victim received numerous facial injuries from the attack. Patrick said this incident did not match the description and method of operation of a suspect who entered victims' houses and laid in bed with them this summer. In that case, the suspect entered several homes in the Oread neighborhood. The victims were all female and woke up to find a college-aged African-American male in their beds who had apparently entered the homes through unlocked doors. Pattrick said that if someone had to walk at night, they should walk with someone or let someone know where they were going and how long they would be gone. If someone is attacked, Pattrick said they should try to get to a populated area. "If you can at all avoid travelling at night by yourself, that's always advisable," he said.

For the first time in its three year history, the University of Kansas' Open House will be combined with Parents Day. In addition to the booths and activities usually associated with Open House, the more than 20,000 visitors to the campus this weekend will also have theater productions, a comedian and a football game to entertain them. to learn game. "We've got a full weekend of open house — not just one afternoon," said Margey Frederick, director of visitor services for University Relations. Tomorrow's joint festivities will mark a successful gamble on her part. Frederick said that she had always wanted to do an open house on a game day so that visitors could participate in the activities during the day and enjoy the game when they were done. The problem, however, is that because of the contract the University has with the Big 12 Conference for television rights, the game time is always subject to change as few as 10 days in advance. advance. "We tried to pick a game that we knew wouldn't be moved for TV," she said. TV: she said. She took a chance on tomorrow's game against Jacksonville State, and won. We had to start working on this last spring to make it work," she said. Frederick said she had no doubt that this weekend would be a big success. be a big success The only worry now is that the weather may take a turn for the worse, although the National Weather Service predicted tomorrow to be 75 degrees and sunny. Rain could cut down on activities and force booths inside. Too much wind could kill plans for a giant Jayhawk-shaped hot air balloon that is to be tethered on Allen Fieldhouse's lawn. Allen Tedford, campus Rev. Thad Holcombe, campus pastor of the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, said he wasn't worried about rain, but the organization's booth was prepared in case it came. "We'll be set up right in front of the Union, so we can dodge inside if we have to," he said. Given the record number of people who visited the University's booth at the State Fair — up 20 percent from last year — Frederick said campus should be packed this weekend. "Everybody, from babies to people in their 80s, loves this sort of thing," she said. The Open House will be free.

Family's winning bid buys Jayhawk statue for yard By Amanda Kim Stairrett astairrett@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Zabel family became the proud owner of a 5-foot-tall, 900-pound bird. Michael and Debra Zabel, Lawrence residents, placed the winning bid of $7.653 for the "Chip Off the Old Hawk" Jayhawk on eBav. The auction ended on Sept. 10 and the Zabels were announced as the winners at Wednesday night's Douglas County United Way campaign kick off.The United Way held the rally at the Dole Institute of Politics. The Jayhawk received 11 bids on the last day of the auction. The Zabels and another bidder, famous2002,battled it out in the last 9 minutes of the auction. The price rose $803 during that time. In all, 16 bidders vied for "Chip Off the Old Hawk." "Because it was charity, it was an incentive to spend more," Debra Zabel said of the auction's sponsor, the United Way of Douglas County. She said her husband, a cardiologist at Cardiovascular Consultants PC, was the instigator. Her 11-year-old son Matthew and 9-year-old daughter Lauren encouraged Michael to win. The Zabels moved to Lawrence eight years ago from North Carolina. "Our family really likes it," said Zabel. "It is an interesting piece with Kansas and KU memorabilia." The Zabels will be able to take the Jayhawk home on Oct. 31, the end of the parade. It is currently located at Coldwell Banker and McGrew Real Estate, 1501 Kasold Drive. They plan to put the statue on the lawn at the side of their house so people can continue to visit it. be sad to see the jury decide "We've grown quite attached to it," she said. Carrie Shuck, administrative assistant at Coldwell Banker and McGrew Real Estate, said she would be sad to see the Jayhawk go. Colleen Gregoire, United Way campaign manager, said she was She said the business has been getting a lot of traffic from people wanting to see the artwork. When the Jayhawk is gone, she said it would be nice to replace it with something just as popular. Some remnants of the bird will remain, however. "We'll probably have to replant the grass that has been worn away," she said. pleased to see how well the sculpture did on eBay. "We are breaking new ground in ways to sell the Jayhawks," she said.

ALARM GAME CONTROLLER SELF-DESTRUCT BUILT-IN PDA INVISIBILITY FORCE FIELD MADE GLOBAL POSITIONING DEVICE Relaxing walks gives peace, health COMMENTARY Sometimes, when I was a freshman living in Oliver Hall, I'd find myself going on miniature pilgrimages. They were only sort of pilgrimages, because I wasn't filled by a deep religious yearning. But when college life seemed to ramp up to an almost audible thrum, I just knew I needed to walk. I am very proud of you. just knew I needed to wake. I remember I'd trek across the then larger-than-life Allen Fieldhouse and then turn to the west so I could watch the sunset on Daisy Hill. I remember soaking in the sights and sounds of the campus in early evening — wind passing through the leaves, a couple of joggers lost in their own world. Then after walking up the hill, if it was a clear day, there was an almost mystic pleasure in sitting down on the bench in front of Hashinger Hall and watching the diffuse purples and reds of the sun fade into the night. Patrick Cady opinion@kansan.com To me, walking into the early evening was a perfect way to relax after my days. I think the simple phrase, "Keep one foot in front of the other," should be a new mantra to those who are stressed by school and feel the waves closing in on them. The act of placing one foot in front of the other and feeling the rhythm of movement can focus the mind if it's reeling from a tough question. Going out for fresh air or a change of scenery can also soothe a moment of burning exasperation or blinding anger. Apart from the psychological benefits of walking, the physical benefits are undeniable. First, regular walks can improve the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, making it easier to live and breath. They also help the physique and can be a relatively safe way to lose weight. Sometimes, it's best to share the joy of a stroll or walk. Walking with friends could be equally soothing when problems arise, if not better. Many times, the walk could lead to shared experiences and lasting memories. Also, going for a walk is a great tool for getting to know someone for the first time, because no matter what, you will always have the common ground right in front of you. Another reason I think the restless wandering spirit called to me is because the campus itself is filled with beautiful paths. The lush lawns surrounding the campanile are crisscrossed with sidewalks that lead almost anywhere you would like to go. The choppy waters of Potter lake and the weeping willow seem picturesque, and in the right situation, very romantic. The buildings also seem to breathe with history. In Bailey, Helium was discovered, and in the early 80s, John Lithgow watched the world end on the steps behind Budig for a television miniseries. If the campus isn't enough, almost the whole of Lawrence seems like a limitless treasure trove of places to walk. Even sights on a short trip to Massachusetts Street would yield shades of bohemian lifestyle, shameless capitalism, and bizarre curio shops that display fossils in their windows. Lawrence also has acres of idyllic parks available for the enjoyment of both humans and their pets. I think the winding paths of South and North Park are particularly suited to a casual stroll. Even though walking can lead to a healthier lifestyle, it is important to know, especially at night, to be as safe as possible if you are walking alone. Cady is a Shawnee senior in journalism. Animals discriminated by genetic code The story of freedom in this country is one of slow progress toward eventual equality. As we have moved forward through time, so have Americans tried to free more and more people from whatever keep them from liberty. African Americans, women, people of various sexual orientations and others have all fought for political equality, with varying degrees of success. The advances of these groups are admirable, for no being deserves to live under the oppression of another. Yet, we all consistently deny liberty to an entire class of beings: non-human animals. Animals should be extended certain political rights, including a right to life. Denial of a right to life for non-human animals amounts to genetic discrimination. COMMENTARY When we think about discrimination, genetics does not come readily to the minds of many people. The difference between a woman and myself is genetic. The difference between myself and someone with a darker or lighter skin tone is genetic. It is fairly well-supported that even my sexual proclivity has a genetic origin. Why is it wrong to discriminate against those different from myself? Because it is wrong to discriminate on the basis of genetics. Matthew Dunavan opinion@kansan.com Animals are different from me only by the makeup of their genetic code. The difference between a turtle and myself is greater than the difference between my roommate and myself, but it is a matter of degree — not a difference in kind. Why should degree of genetic similarity make a difference? This only opens doors to other forms of discrimination. demonstration: Some on this campus have actually defended the practice of killing animals on the basis that "they're tasty." It seems ridiculous to say that we should kill a being because it makes us happier. kill a being because it matters. Others have said that denying animals a right to life is acceptable because of their intelligence. But many animals, such as ravens, pigs, gorillas and some parrots, have intelligence levels above those of human infants and those who are severely mentally disabled. Most people, though, would think it's OK to kill a hog before a Some religious people justify the denial of rights to animals because humans have souls. If we presuppose the existence of souls, this might be a powerful argument. But, it hasn't been even 150 years since the religious community has been torn by questions of whether non-white humans had souls. For centuries, even women were not seen as beings with that divine spark that would give them natural rights. How can we be sure that animals are excluded? human child This pernicious species-ism is as deeply rooted as was sexism and racism two centuries ago. If we value freedom, we must listen to and truly hear the words of William Ellery Channing, a strident abolitionist: "How plain is it, that no man can love liberty with a true love, who has the heart to wrest it from others!" If you value freedom and liberty,you must either put the interests of nonhuman animals on equal footing with those of your family and friends,or find reasons to deny that liberty to beings on the basis of their genetics. basis of their genius. As for me, those reasons are hard to find. Dunavan is a Topeka senior in political science and philosophy. Jennifer Wade for The University Daily Kensan editorial board Don't buy prejudiced store's mindset In its Sept. 4 issue, The Pitch published a disturbing account of several employees' disillusionment with their former employer, Abercrombie & Fitch. The basic theme of the article was that the company operates with a single "qualification" for its employees: good looks. Supporting this method of hiring is supporting a shallow mindset. Purchase a sweater and you automatically stand behind the mindset. beyond the intrigue. Abercrombie & Fitch's "qualification is probably somewhat unremarkable, particularly given the sway the retailer holds over student-friendly fashion at the University of Kansas. However, according to The Pitch and the author, Ben Paynter, Abercrombie goes beyond the everyday scope of looks-based hiring. store leader to hire store employees. Egregious as these offenses may be, an accusation of racial discrimination could turn out to be the retailer's real crime. According to Paynter, a class-action suit is being brought to bear against the company by more than 200 employees (mostly Asian and Hispanic) who feel Abercrombie & Fitch discriminated against them in hiring and scheduling because they did not fit the company image. It would be unfair to draw conclusions about the merit of the suit before it is heard in court, but the accusation does not appear altogether unfounded. scope of looks. It is quite obvious that many businesses consider looks in their hiring. Abercrombie, however, seems to have refined this practice into a particularly brutal form. According to Paynter's anecdotes, Abercrombie & Fitch is a company that throws an application from an "undesirable" candidate in the trash without even a cursory glance at her qualifications, a company that hires admittedly dumb (but "hot") people just to stand by the door, and a company in which an upper-level manager orders a store leader to fire a "brace face." Admittedly, Paynter's article is based only on the experiences of four Kansas City area employees. However, it would seem unlikely that anyone of a rational mind is going to come forward to defend the company as a bastion of acceptance and tolerance for all forms of human beauty. We all know what image Abercrombie stands for, and the company is harasser than is acceptable in the pursuit of that image. Purchasing merchandise from a company is a tacit approval of that company's practices. If you are a customer of Abercrombie & Fitch, read the article on the archives of pitch.com and follow the racial discrimination lawsuit.

Vince Krische, director of the center, cut the ribbon with three-foot scissors from the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce to open the $3 million parking garage at 1631 Crescent Road. The garage has been open since June, but the chamber was not scheduled to formally dedicate the space until yesterday. The new two-level garage has space for 174 cars. Compared to the 95 spaces in the center's old lot. to. "It's such a relief to wake up on Sunday and not worry about parking." Krische said. parking. Representing the Chamber of Commerce, Larry McElwain, the chairman of the board of directors, spoke about the economic benefits of the center. St. Lawrence has been a member of the chamber since 1995. The chamber's mission is to improve the economy and quality of life in Lawrence. "We are celebrating much more than a parking lot," McElwain said. "This is a continuation of a ministry and its impact on the lives of students and the community." McElwain said that the center was an important part of Lawrence because it brought in $1.2 million annually from outside the city which was then spent in Lawrence. St. Lawrence provides jobs for 18 full-time employees and hosts 30 weddings a year, which bring business to many local merchants. In last year's fundraising drive, the center raised $1.4 million to fund a professorship at the University of Kansas and $13 million for other projects. Ninety percent of these funds were from sources outside the community such as parents and University alumni. "All churches bring in huge revenue," said Cathy Lewis, vice president of membership for the chamber. City commissioner David Schauer spoke on behalf of the city. St. Lawrence had to obtain a permit from the city before they could begin building in 2002. Schauner said the parking garage was a wonderful addition to the entrance of KU campus and also to the neighborhood. Courtney Kubl The lot not only eases the Sunday morning traffic for St. Lawrence members; it relieves the congestion in the surrounding neighborhood. The University Heights neighborhood association, the neighborhood surrounding the church, sent a congratulatory note to St. Lawrence last week for the success of its parking garage, Krische said. Before the expanded lot was built, church attendants would have to park along the streets on either side of the center. Rev. Vince Krische laughed after cutting the ribbon on the St. Lawrence Catholic Center's new parking lot. Representatives from both the City Commission and Chamber of Commerce attended the ceremony. To serve the student community, the center gave out passes for 50 of these spots to KU students registered with the center. gistered with the lot These students can use the lot during school hours. The center also aids Pi Beta Phi sorority with its overflow parking. Krische said the lot was also used as a meeting place. The brick patio at the front of the parking lot has been used for ice cream socials and as a gathering area for parishioners after masses. - Edited by Shane Mettlen Minority students provided with 'evening of diversity' By Johanna M. Maska jmaska@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Among the minority of student athletes, another minority exists. Of the University of Kansas' 500 athletes, about 100 are minorities, Paul Buskirk, associate athletics director, said. Yesterday evening, more than 200 students and student athletes mingled in the Wagon Athletic Center. The event, "An Evening of Diversity," was designed to help the University's student athletes learn more about diversity and their opportunities for involvement in student organizations. This was the fourth year in a row the University of Kansas Athletics Department teamed with the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Multicultural Resource Center to facilitate a dinner welcoming freshman athletes. Athletes play an important role at the University, said Monique Kazadi, associate director for degree and career counseling for athletics. Kazadi said that in many cases the athletes serve as public relations ambassadors for the University. "People who don't know a lot about a university, athletics is the first thing they see," she said. Most of the University's new athletes attended last night's activities, which aimed to educate the these athletes about race and diversity issues. One activity discussed the evolution of derogatory terms. tutor derogee Kazadi asked students what such phrases as "gypped," "viewed down" and "cotton pickin' meant. Candace Haines, St. Louis senior, raised her hand. "My mom used to ask if I was out of my cotton' pickin' mind — I thought she meant I was acting ridiculous," Haines said. But Kazadi also pointed out that "cotton pickin" refers to a slave. Various students attended last night's event to encourage involvement in minority clubs and organizations. The Black Student Union, Hispanic American Leadership Organization, Asian American Student Union, First Nations Student Association, Vietnamese Student Association, National Panhellenic Council and the Diversity Peer Education Team were among the organizations extending an invitation to upcoming events. Kazadi said the opportunity for incoming athletes to get to know campus organizations like these was important. "I think sometimes student athletes are swamped," Kazadi said. "A lot of them don't have the time to find things to get involved in." Kazadi said the event offered athletes the chance to become involved in clubs they might not otherwise be aware of. After a lifetime in Lawrence, Brandon McAnderson, freshman, joined the football team. But he wants to be in the Black Student Union. He said last night's event afforded him the opportunity to become more involved. - Edited by Ashley Marriott kansan.com Reservations Available! 843-4111 746 Massachusetts St. Downtown Lawrence Teller's Saturday and Sunday 9:00am to 2:00pm 9.95 per person kids 12 and under 5.95 includes choice of coffee, tea or juice Brunch Buffet Frittatas (baked Italian omelet) Scrambled Eggs Fried Potatoes Pancetta (Italian bacon) and Sausage Assorted Crepés Fresh Fruits and Cheeses Assorted Crostini (including lox and cream cheese) Fresh Bread Tossed Salads Chef's Choice Pasta Sweet and Savory Turnovers Ala Carte Orange 1.75 Pineapple 1.75 Cranberry 1.75 Grapefruit 1.75 Milk 1.75 French Toast 4.95 Buttermilk Pancakes 4.95 Pancetta or Sausage 1.50 Fruit & Yogurt 3.95 Granola & Milk 3.95 Turnovers 2.95 Juices & Milk Coffee Drinks House Coffee 1.75 Cappuccino 3.00 Espresso 2.50 Latte 3.00 Café au Lait 3.00 Hot Chocolate 2.00 Mocha 3.75 Cocktails Minosa 4.00 Bloody Mary 4.00 Freixenet 4.50 Chandon Brut 7.00 Lunch items available from 11:00am until 4:00pm Teller's House Salad Mixed baby greens and romaine tossed with our balsamic vinaigrette topped with imported olives, vine ripened romas, feta cheese, and sliced toasted almonds. 4.50 / 6.95 The Classic Caesar Crisp romaine, homemade croutons, Parmesan, and our Caesar dressing. 4.50 / 6.95 Either salad can be souped up with chilled spiced shrimp, balsamic marinated grilled beef grilled fresh salmon, grilled tempelh, or grilled sliced chicken for $0.00 Oven Roasted Pork Sandwich Tender oven roasted pork loin sliced thin and cooked in its own juices.

The Board of Regents passed an amendment yesterday allowing the University of Kansas to spend about $303,000 to install sprinklers in north and south Corbin. Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said the last fire safety improvements in the building were smoke and heat detectors installed more than 10 years ago. The Lawrence City Commission passed a law to require fraternities and sororites to install sprinkler systems several years ago. Bob Rombach, University fire marshal coordinator, said the state's primary concerns were keeping exit paths clear and evacuating buildings, which sent funds to stairwells and fire alarms and didn't leave much for sprinklers. "It's lower priority because it's considered property protection." Rombach said. While the state requires smoke detectors, it does not require sprinklers, unlike the city. "Corbin was just next on the list." Stoner said. Residence halls were not included in the law because they are state-owned and supported by tax dollars, unlike the privately owned houses. Sprinklers have been installed in all scholarship halls and Templin, Lewis and Ellsworth halls Gertrude Sellards Pearson, McCollum, Oliver and Hashinger halls all still need sprinklers as well. The sprinklers are part of the ongoing residence hall construction that included Ellsworth Hall's renovation last summer. Rombach said to retrofit Corbin with sprinklers would be a challenge because crews would have to work around existing structures and leave the pipes exposed when they were finished. It is nearly twice as expensive to install sprinklers in a finished building than one that is being renovated. Rombach said it could cost up to $4 per square foot in Corbin because crews would have to repair the damage the installation caused. He said it took two months to retrofit the three-story scholarship halls, but the seven-story. two-winged Corbin could probably be done in three months. "It would be a struggle," Rombach said. "But it depends on the manpower." Until then, Rombach kept the fire safety advice simple. Stoner said that as soon as the design was finished and contractors submitted bids, construction would begin. "If the fire alarm goes off (leave), he said." Collage Concert to showcase student performances By Alex Hoffman ahoffman@ku.edu Kansas staff writer Shannon Kroh, Silver Lake sophomore, played her baritone during a rendition of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band last night in the Lied Center. Kroh and the rest of the Marching Jay Hawks practiced for tonight's Collage Concert, an event that will showcase performances from all the Fine Arts school's departments. The power and virtuosity of an orchestra, the grace of ballet and the uniqueness of performance art will all be featured in one performance. The School of Fine Arts hosts its fourth annual Collage Concert at 7:30 tonight in the Lied Center. About 300 students, including the University of Kansas Marching Jayhawks and the symphony orchestra, are scheduled to participate. Aaron Showalter/Kansan "What the Collage Concert presents is a wonderful opportunity for people from campus and the community to have in a 90-minute span—a wonderful sample of many of the kinds of art we have in the school." said Steve Hedden, dean of fine arts. "So the event is a remarkable resource for us." The 18 performances in the lineup present a wide range of artistic expression. The KU Jazz Combo, the KU String Quartet and the KU Chamber Choir are among the smaller ensembles that will display their talents. installation art, brainstormed ideas in August for a performance piece in the concert. Besides the music and dance presentations, a performance art piece called By Friday is on the program. "It's inspiring," said Rachel Elts, one of the By Friday performers and a 1998 graduate of the University. "I love to experience other ideas and the ways other people approach performance art." Although performance art takes on an array of definitions, much of its focus is expressing emotions through various media. Four performers and Maria Velasco, associate professor of Dreams as a metaphor for life serve as the theme of the piece. Through body movements, Elits said she and her performing partner, Keiko Kira, represent the push and pull, or the pressure and release, that situations in dreams and reality share. A video runs during the piece that enhances the idea of dream states. "It's like a painting that happens in this particular space for a specific amount of time," Elits said. Velasco also was involved in a special video for a retiring art professor that will be presented at the concert. She co-produced Roger Shimomura: A Legacy in Art. She started working in March and gathered slides, raw footage of the performances Shimomura directed and did scripts with his own narration. Velasco tried to think of how many hours it took to complete. "In the beginning I was sort of keeping track," she said. "Then I sort of gave up." Another video will show images of students' artwork from the design department. These videos are ways to recognize the art and design students and faculty because there is no exhibition space at the Collage Concert. Velasco said. Hedden said he was looking forward to seeing the variety of the program in his first Collage Concert as dean. "It is going to be 90 minutes of non-stop fun," he said. Tickets for the concert cost $10 for the public and $5 for students. Edited by Erin Riffey BOB MARLEY SEAN HANNITY FREEDOM Aaron Showalter/Kansan Matt Norman, Detroit senior, says his two passions in life are soccer and conservative politics, and he takes in as much as he can of each from the couch in his living room. Soccer, Republicans inspire senior By Zack Hemenway zhenwenway@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Every face in the crowd and every name in the phone book has a story behind it. Every week, Kansan staff writer Zack Hemenway tells the story of a randomly selected KU student. Colliding with a defender in the air, Norman was knocked to all fours as the ball sailed by. At this most vulnerable position, another defender tanded on Norman's back with full force, fracturing his vertebrae. The scholarship and any chance at a soccer career were gone; Norman spent It was the second half of the Michigan state high school soccer championship, and Matt Norman's team needed a goal. His team's other forward sent a cross floating into the box, and Norman went up, trying to use the skills that made Michigan State offer him a scholarship to head the ball into the net. He had no idea the next moment would change his scholarship, his college choice — his life. the spring semester of his senior year in a back brace. Four years later, Norman, Detroit senior, said he rarely thinks about that fateful moment. "Stuff happens," he said. "You just have to deal with it." Dealing with the injury didn't mean any change in Norman's love for soccer. While a return to his previous form is not possible, he's still able to play on a recreational basis. He and his friends "kick the ball around" at least once a week, and he said his apartment carpet is often the site of impromptu dribbling practice. "He talks about soccer all the time, every chance he gets," his friend Karo Akpolo, Dodge City senior, said. Norman's two younger brothers are often the focus of his soccer talk. Luke, 14, plays for the second-ranked club team in the nation, and Nathan, 18, starts for Notre Dame and the under-19 U.S. National team. Norman said following his brothers' exploits has taken the place of his aborted soccer dreams. "I can almost live through them on the field," he said. "I love to watch my brothers play." Matt Norman talks to Nathan after almost every game, and plans to travel to see two of his younger brother's biggest matches this year. If Norman isn't talking about soccer, it's a pretty good bet the double major in journalism and political science is talking about politics — right-wing politics, to be exact. Norman, a self-proclaimed "politics junkie," calls Rush Limbaugh his hero. "Being a Republican — it's just the logical thing to do," he said in lieu of explaining his beliefs. Not all of Norman's friends agree with his simplified explanation, but most of them have strong political beliefs. Norman said his group of friends usually spent the few hours before going out on weekend nights embroiled in political discussion. "We like to argue," he said. "Whenever we get together before we go out, it turns into a two-hour debate." The television in Norman's apartment is usually tuned to a channel with Fox in its name. He loves the Fox News Channel, and is a daily devotee of its conservative commentary programs like The O'Reilly Factor and Hannity and Combs. Hannity's book, subtitled Winning the War of Liberty over Liberalism, occupies a prominent spot on Norman's living-room table. Another Fox channel, Fox Sports World, feeds Norman's obsession with soccer, showing European league matches daily. Most weekday nights his framed "Quiet: football on TV!" sign speaks the truth most weekday nights. "It's awesome to be able to watch soccer on TV so much," he said. "It's definitely a bonus having this on cable." Matt Norman won't be taking the field anytime soon, but he still has a big game circled on his calendar — Nathan's Notre Dame team heads to Storrs, Conn., to take the 12th-ranked Connecticut Huskies Oct. 18 and Matt will be in the stands. - Edited by Shane Mettlen Got Books?

Billy taien was an out-of-work actor the mid-'90s before he created the "Reverend" out of disgust with consumerism and the temptation to shop. The Reverend Billy condemns the globalization of corporate America with an accusing finger.

His week-long stay filled with protests, workshops and demonstrations will end with two performances of his play, Other Love. phy Han. Talen and Savitri Durkee, the play's director, hesitated to say much about the show, wanting audiences to discover the story themselves. themselves. "It's really about psychological collisions that people faced," Durkee said. "We thought it was a real opportunity for global change, a time to step forward." Durkee said the country, behind the leadership of President Bush and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, took several steps backward at a crucial time by allowing corporate America to capitalize on the country's fragile state. Talen began his Reverend Billy routine in 1997 when Disney attempted to take over all of Times Square. "They wanted to make 'Times Square — the theme park,' " he said. After marching up to the company's Times Square location and giving a sermon, a character—and a following—was born. and a following Since then Talen has been taking his act across the country by spreading his message of supporting small businesses instead of large corporate chain stores. He said that large corporations mainly used sweatshops and other forms of cheap labor and led to an array of domestic and foreign problems. of donate what we don't "The transnational companies do think they are the government," Talen said. "They make it difficult for people to the see the identity of their community." He said college students had a tremendous influence on the market. "Your dollar is your vote," Talen said. Talen said. Reverend Billy and his "Church of Stop Shopping" have held congregations at various conferences and college towns since his crusade began. Talen said he'd been to about 10 colleges, including Yale University, Brown University and the University of Michigan. Billy's bandwagon stopped in Lawrence after he was invited by Patricia Ybarra, assistant professor in the University of Kansas' department of theater. Talen said he was quite pleased to see how well small independent stores have flourished on Massachusetts Street. Durkee said the town's thriving local commerce was a rarity in the United States. Massachusetts "The main street has been well defended here," he said. "Lawrence is a great success story as far as we can tell," Durkee said. "It's a great lesson for America." Ybarra said she wanted Talen to come so her students could learn about theatrical arts not limited or enclosed by a stage. In addition to performing actual plays, Talen writes scripts that are acted out wherever he pleases, whether a street corner or inside a Starbucks. Starbucks. "I think it was important to do. Bringing Bill was part of learning new strategies in the classroom. I was interested to see how Bill was using those performances to teach," Ybarra said. Talen's performances have come with a price. He said he'd been arrested about a dozen times during his crusades, usually being cited for disorderly conduct and trespassing. "I wanted to see theater that just isn't consumed by audiences. I wanted to get something beyond that." trespassing. "All social change involves the charge of trespassing," Talen said. "Lawrence is a great success story as far as we can tell.

New York has the Statue of Liberty. and now Tom Overby wants to create a monument for his hometown of Kansas City; a 650-foot-tall tornado — 45 feet taller than the Space Needle, 20 feet taller than the Arch and 345 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty — that would anchor a tourism district with a theme based on The Wizard of Oz. The giant tornado, said Overby, president of nonprofit development company Avenue Area Inc., "would be a state landmark," drawing at least a million people to the area each year. Plans call for visitors to take an elevator to the top, where they could eat at a restaurant and enjoy the view. "I think Kansas can really capitalize on using something that it's known for, and building a structure of this magnitude would certainly be a draw," Overby said. As Overby envisions it, the area surrounding the tornado would include buildings made to look like they were destroyed by a twister. Inside those buildings would be gift shops. The base of the tornado would include a museum with information on the history and science of twisters. Businesses around the monument could rename themselves to fit that theme. and The C Capitalism meets its foe! He's against consumerism, capitalism, and social inequities at all levels...

The Gamecocks are 1-1 this season.

Green ran 19 times for 117 total yards. Kansas faces Jacksonville State tomorrow. John Nowak/Kansan By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter The biggest focus for the Kansas football team on the practice field this week has not been anything fundamental. Coach Mark Mangino is making sure his Jayhawks are mentally prepared, and are not overlooking Saturday's Division I-AA opponent. Ax opponent. The Jacksonville State Gamecocks will be the final non-conference test of the season for the Jayhawks before the start of Big 12 Conference play next Saturday. Even with the prospect of a meaningful matchup with Missouri on the horizon, the Jayhawks' margin for error tomorrow is slim at best. "We know that this Jacksonville State team will be pumped up coming into a Big 12 stadium, a venue that they normally don't get the opportunity to play in," Mangino said. "We cannot afford to take anybody for granted right now." Even though the Jayhawks do not want to enter the game too confident, the chips are definitely stacked in their favor. Since 1994, Jacksonville State is 3-5 against Division I A schools. Their last Division I A contest was a 51-13 drubbing at the hands of Mississippi State in 2002. The Division 1-AA competition has the potential to be a confidence booster for a Kansas defense that ranks last in the Big 12 in total defense. The Gamecocks have only compiled 19 points in their first two games of the season. "I think the longer you're satisfied with things, the longer someone else is catching up." McMillan said. first two games of the season. The defensive line made its presence felt in Wyoming last weekend by recording the Jayhawks' first three sacks of the season, as well as a fumble returned for a touchdown by senior defensive end David McMillan. Even though the defense was finally able to reach the quarterback, the unit realizes its biggest enemy right now can be complacency. In the secondary, there is an on-going position battle between junior Shelton Simmons and senior Remuise Johnson for the starting cornerback spot. Johnson started all 12 games as a junior in 2002 and recorded six interceptions, but Simmons began this season as the starter. Johnson has shown flashes of brilliance in an effort to regain his starting role, but must prove that he can bring more consistency. "I think Bill's got a lot more confidence in us," junior receiver Brandon Rideau said. "He's believing that if he puts the ball up in the air, we're going to make the play." "He knows what it takes," Mangino Kansas heads into the game with the advantage based on its offense alone. The Jayhawks rank atop the Big 12 in total offense, and quarterback Bill Whittemore is the second highest rated passer in Division I-A. Mangino attributes a lot of Whittemore's success to the improvement his receivers have made on the practice field. Those efforts have produced a 20 percent decrease in dropped balls so far. said of Johnson. "It is a matter of him pulling it all together and making plays every single down. Not just once in awhile, but every single down." To Mangino, there is nothing more important right now than keeping the winning feeling that he said is easily noticeable throughout his squad. "When you win, life is better. Everything looks better to you," Mangino said. "All of the bumps and bruises heal up by Monday. The Gatorade tastes better to them. I told them now that you have the taste of winning, you should hold on to that taste." — Edited by Ashley Marriott By Nikki Nugent nnnugeut@kansan.com Kansas sportwriter Soccer travels to San Diego The Kansas women's soccer team travels to California this weekend before beginning Big 12 Conference play next week. play next week. The Jayhawks, 6-1-0, play the University of San Diego at 7 tonight. The team then travels to Los Angeles to play the Lions of Loyola Marymount University on Sunday. The Jayhawks look to build upon their best start in school history. Coming off of a winning tournament weekend could lead to a let down, but freshman midfielder Michelle Rasmussen said the coaches were making sure that wouldn't happen. "The coaches have stressed that we need to be focused," she said. "We know these are big games." Though the Toreros are winning, the team's major weakness is scoring goals. The team has only six goals this season compared to the Jayhawks' 17. San Diego's schedule thus far has not been as difficult as the Jayhawks' schedule, with the Toreros' toughest game coming in a 1-0 victory against Vanderbilt. San Diego senior defender Alexi Obeji scored the game-winning goal, the first of her career. San Diego should give the Jayhawks a tough game. The Toreros are 4-0-1 this season under first year coach Ada Greenwood. San Diego goalkeeper Libby Bassett has five shutouts on the season as the Toreres have not allowed a goal thus far. Nick Mirkovich, San Diego sports information director, said the Toreros were loaded with talent, especially defensively. He said the reason the team had been victorious was because of its strong defensive play. sports commentary The Jayhawks look to break the Torero's winning streak, as well as Bassett's shutout streak. Kansas sophomore forward Caroline Smith, who has 11 goals on the season, is sure to be a focus for San Diego. This should give other Jayhawks an opportunity to score. Rasmussen, has seen a lot of touches on the ball and said she expects to get that elusive first goal. hair and have a cape. Marysol Cayado, Loyola Marymount sports information director, said the team was strong defensively but still trying to get things going offensively. Freshman Tana Smothermon is the team's biggest offensive threat, she said. Sunday's game against Loyola Marymount is the first time the two teams have met. The game should be less of a challenge for the Jayhawks. The Lions are 3-1-2 on the season going into tonight's game against Portland State. "Hopefully, it will come soon," she said. "Our first priority is to get some goals against them." she said. The Jayhawks begin conference play at 5 p.m. Sept. 26, at SuperTarget Field against Baylor and 1 p.m., Sept. 28, at Texas Tech. Like San Diego, the Lions have scored six goals thus far and have allowed only three. 4 — Edited by Michael Owells Amy Geha, junior midfielder, dribbled down the field Sunday against Central Florida. Geha's effort helped the Jayhawks win 1-0. Sean Smith/Kansan sports commentary Jonah Ballow jballow@kansan.com Changes imperative for Kansas Kansas football fans may not see the extreme importance of the game against jacksonville State tomorrow night. While the Gamecocks play Division IAA football, Kansas must enter the contest with intentions of a big victory. The game marks the fourth non-conference opponent for the Jayhawks and this year's schedule was designed to give the team confidence conference play. Kansas was able to defeat two Mountain West Conference teams in consecutive weeks and now have the opportunity to enter the Big 12 Conference season with a 3-1 record for the first time since 1997. With border rival Missouri next on the schedule, the Jayhawks cannot overlook Jacksonville State. The contest against the Gamecocks is especially important for Kansas to make the necessary adjustments to prevent the problems experienced in the previous games. "I think this is a game where we can focus on improving certain areas before Big 12 play," senior Adrian Jones said. Jones is right. For the Jayhawks to compete in the Big 12, many problems must be addressed during tomorrow's game. The offense is clicking on all cylinders with Bill Whittemore leading the team and surprisingly making noise as one of the most underrated players in the country. The team posted an impressive 88 points in two games, but the defense has allowed 59 points in both those games. The last game against Wyoming was the most troubling. Kansas had a three-touchdown lead heading into the fourth quarter. The Jayhawks did not tighten up their defense down the stretch and allowed the Cowboys to score 14 points turning a blowout into a nail-biter victory. The Kansas defense needs sustained solid play throughout games and to become stronger as the offense builds large leads. With the 4-3 defensive scheme the Jayhawks use, the front four linemen need to put pressure on the quarterback and the cornerbacks must improve the coverage. Two players who will help the defense in the next couple of weeks are Chuck Jones and Travis Watkins. The linemen may return in time for the game against the Colorado Buffaloes. Coach Mark Mangino addressed some of the reasons why the defense is struggling at certain points in the game. "I think there is still some newness," Mangino said. "Not so much that we have new players on the field but the communication process on the field is a problem." The offense has been explosive by making big plays with more than one thousand total yards in two games. The problem with the big play offense is the defense does not get any rest. Over the course of a game the unit will eventually wear down. The success of the big plays was proven in the two victories against Wyoming and UNLV. But for the season, a mix of longer drives with Clark Green getting a majority of the carries would benefit the defense greatly. Taking away the fluke game against Northwestern, the Jayhawks have played solid football while giving fans a reason to head to Memorial Stadium. For Kansas to take the next step forward and prepare for a monumental game against Missouri, the necessary adjustments must be made tomorrow night when the Jayhawks face Jacksonville State.

Kansas City shuts down Cleveland The Associated Press Kansas City began yesterday 4 1/2 games behind Minnesota, the AL Central leader. CLEVELAND — Jose Lima returned from the disabled list to pitch five solid innings for Kansas City and Raul Ibanez drove in a key run as the Royals beat the Cleveland Indians 3-2 last night. Lima (8-1) allowed two runs, scattering six hits and a walk for his first victory since July 27. He got key double plays in the second and fifth innings to get out of iams. The Royals' bullpen shut down Cleveland the rest of the way. Jeremy Affeldt threw three hitless innings, striking out four and allowing a walk. Curtis Leskanic pitched the ninth for his second save. Ibanez made a diving catch of Victor Martinez's line drive to the left field gap for the final out. Kansas City took the lead for good with two runs in the third. D es i Relaford and Mike DiFelice opened the inning with singles. Relaford advanced to third when left fielder Jody Gerut bobbled DiFelice's hard-hit ball, then scored on Angel Berroa's R Royals royals 3 indians 2 C. C.

Iibanez singled home DiFelice to make it 5-1. records: royals 79-73 indians 66- 88 next: royals at white sox bits and a walk. He struck out five. Ben Broussard walked to start the fifth and Jhonny Peralta doubled to put runners at the corners. But Brandon Phillips lined out and Peralta got thrown out trying to get back to first. Sabathia, who became a father Monday, got stronger as the game went on, retiring 12 of the last 13 batters he faced. Lima, who had been on the disabled list since Aug. 24 with a right groin strain, gave up two singles to start the second but got out of the inning with a double play and a fly out. Carlos Beltran tripled and Mike Sweeney singled to give Kansas City a 1-0 lead in the first. Coco Crisp singled to score Broussard and pull within 3-2. Alex Escobar drove in a run on a fielder's choice after back to back singles by Casey Blake and Gerut to tie it in the bottom half. Greene handpicks week four favorites By Ryan Greene rggreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Jacksonville State vs. Kansas The Jayhawks are confident after a huge road victory in Wyoming last weekend. With Kansas bringing an offensive attack that few defenses can stop when the ball is not wet, Jacksonville State has little chance, if any, in this one. Kansas should win big in this tune-up before the important Border War game with Missouri next Saturday. Greene's Pick: Kansas Michigan vs. Oregon Michigan may be playing better all-around football than any other team in the country right now. Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Ore., is a tough place for any road team to play, but Michigan is used to hostile environments in the Big Ten Conference. I'll have to go with Michigan in this one, but the Ducks will keep it close, and sophomore quarterback Kellen Clemens will be able to put up some numbers. Greene's Pick: Michigan Michigan State vs. Notre Dame Ah, there is nothing harder than picking between two schools you absolutely despise. Michigan State always plays Notre Dame tough, but without starting quarterback Jeff Smoker, it's going to be difficult. Along with losing wide receiver Charles Rogers, a traditional Notre Dame killer, to the NFL draft, the Spartans don't have much left to fight a tough Irish defense. Notre Dame's other advantage is playing at home, so with the chips stacked in its favor, as hard as it is to do, I'll go against Michigan State. Greene's Pick: Notre Dame Georgia vs. LSU This is the most evenly matched game of the weekend by far. Both LSU's Matt Mauck and Georgia's David Greene rank in the top-15 in the nation for passing efficiency, so expect a lot to be done through the air. Even though the game is being played in Baton Rouge, Georgia simply has too many weapons on offense. With both teams ranked in the top-10, expect a great game. LSU will keep it close for a while, but the Bulldogs will prevail in the end. Greene's Pick: Georgia Miami vs. Boston College No matter how good Miami is year-in and year-out, Boston College always tends to be a bump in the Hurricanes' road to the national title game. However, it's tough to pick against a Miami team coming off of an emotional victory against Florida and then a bye week. The Hurricanes win big. Greene's Pick: Miami Tennessee vs. Florida In recent years, the Volunteers have traveled and played well in the Swamp. This year, they bring the nation's third-leading rusher in Cedric Houston to face a suspect defense. Both teams have good defensive backs, so the ground game will win this one, and if Houston gets anywhere near his average of 160 yards per game, Tennessee rolls. I think he will. Greene's Pick: Tennessee Texas Tech vs. North Carolina State These two met in Lubbock last year for a memorable overtime finish, with Tech coming out on top. North Carolina State had much expected of them this year, and with tailback T.A. McClendon back in the lineup and coming off of a heartbreaking overtime loss at Ohio State, the Wolfpack cannot afford to fall to 1-3 on the year. North Carolina State will dig deep and pull one out at home. Greene's Pick: North Carolina State Colorado vs. Florida State Anyone who is a Jayhawk fan should want Colorado in this one, so they could be still ranked when Kansas travels to Boulder in a month. However, quarterback Erik Greenberg will be making his first start in a Buffalooes uniform, and Florida State will not be an easy place to do that. The Seminoles will make up for last week's pathetic offensive display against Georgia Tech with a rout of Colorado. Greene's Pick: Florida State Arizona State vs. Iowa This is an awfully random matchup between two high-powered offenses. Arizona State's Andrew Walter has been kept a secret for too long, and will unleash his wrath on the Hawkeyes this weekend in Iowa City. This is the week when we see Iowa is no longer for real. Greene's Pick: Arizona State UCLA vs. Oklahoma Bowling Green vs. Ohio State Plain and simple, UCLA cannot score touchdowns, let alone against the nation's top defense. The Bruins will get punished. Greene's Pick: Oklahoma Here is the upset special of the week my friends. Bowling Green ranks number one in the nation in total offense. The only team who has scored as many touchdowns as the Falcons is Florida, and no one compares to its 575 yards per game. Ohio State's defense showed its flaws last Saturday by allowing North Carolina State to put up big numbers. The only reason I'm taking Bowling Green is because Ohio State is not only without Maurice Clarett, but also starting quarterback Craig Krenzel. Bowling Green gets put on the map this Saturday. Greene's pick: Bowling Green Nicholls State vs. Texas A&M Kingsville Nicholls State won its first game of the season 70-0. I don't care who that's against, that's impressive. Greene's Pick: Nicholls State Kansas athletics calendar today Soccer at San Diego University at San Diego, Calif saturday Women's golf at Mary Fossum Invitational at East Lansing, Mich.

Players who have been with the Gators long enough remembered Tennessee quarterback Casey Clausen doing his best Beethoven impression in front of the band. The Gators remember how their 2001 national championship hopes were dashed under the cleats of tailback Travis Stephens, who racked up 226 vards. In that game, postponed to Dec. 1 because of the Sept. 11 attacks, Clausen was 17-of-25 for 168 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Starks said earlier in the week that it annoyed him to see Clausen celebrating in a way that was "distasteful." It appears as if Clausen doesn't remember how he had incited the Gators. He didn't know Florida was still thinking about it, nor did he seem to care. "I don't really know what [Starks] said," Clausen said. "I'm going to go on the football field, and we'll see what happens come Tomorrow." Clausen's tune changed last year, when a bad exchange between him and center Scott Wells gave the Gators good field position in Tennessee territory. That was one of three lost fumbles for the Volunteers. On their way to a 30-13 win, the Gators scored twice upon recovering Tennessee fumbles. without the fumbles, the Tennessee quarterback's performance would have been seen as outstanding. He was 30-of-44 for 285 yards and had one touchdown. He went from an inexperienced sophomore winning on the road to a letdown the next year. Clausen has experienced a high and a low point against UF That was a year when the Volunteers were expected to contend for a spot in the national championship. According to Clausen, those events no longer have meaning for Tomorrow's game. "The past was the past. I want to focus on the present," Clausen said. "I said to our team, 'Hey, enjoy it.' It' s a great atmosphere to play in, playing in front of 90,000 people and the crowd and the fans." The running game could be the focus, but if the Gators' defensive front can cause problems for Cedric Houston and the other backs, Clausen may have to take over the offensive duties with the pass. Whatever the mode of Tennessee's offense, if the last two games in the series are any indication, a hostile environment would be better than a soggy one. For this game, he relishes another opportunity for a victory on Florida turf. “It’s definitely exciting to go and play in a hostile environment,” he said. “I enjoy it. I guess most quarterbacks get timid, but I'm a competitive type of person.” Last week's UNLV mistakes badger Wisconsin By Jerry Weil The Daily Cardinal via U-WIRE University of Wisconsin MADISON, Wis. — A lot went wrong for Wisconsin last weekend against UNLV. It turned the ball over numerous times and the offense seemed out of sync all game. However, if there was one bright spot on that miserable rainy tomorrow afternoon, it was the defense. The Badger defense held the Rebels to only 197 total yards on offense. This comes as a huge improvement compared to two weeks ago when Wisconsin gave up 591 yards to Akron. "For the most part our defense played pretty well ... we did improve from the Akron game, but we still have a long way to go," freshman Joe Stellmacher said. Perhaps the greatest area of "We're pushing each other every day in practice, so each of us has to be on top of our game." Joe Stellmacher Wisconsin cornerback improvement was in the Badger secondary. The Badgers gave up only 93 yards passing. Sophomore defensive back Levonne Rowan and Stellmacher each started in the secondary, and took the starting cornerback positions from junior Scott Starks and senior safety Ryan Aiello. This decision was made in practice, as defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove hopes to encourage competition among all players in the secondary. "Sometimes guys get in a comfort zone, and maybe they don't have as much urgency as they need to have. "When you have more competition, there will be more urgency between the starter and the guy trying to get his job. A guy has to earn his way to be a starter." Cosgrove said. Stellmacher and Rowan found out Friday that they were going to be rewarded for their good week of practice by starting the game tomorrow. Ready for the challenge, Stellmacher and Rowan prepared mentally for the start. Part of that preparation included reconciling with Starks and Aiello, whom Stellmacher and Rowan would start over; however, as Rowan explains, Starks and Aiello proved to be strong leaders. "If I had a problem I knew I could always go to Starks and he would help me out," Rowan said. Just because Rowan and Stellmacher started this past week against UNLV does not necessarily guarantee them a start this upcoming week. A hard week of practice and critical evaluation by the Badger coaching staff will determine who gets the starting nod for tomorrow's game against North Carolina. Stellmacher is comfortable with the situation. "We're pushing each other every day in practice, so each of us has to be on top of our game," Stellmacher said. "The competition will definitely help all of us out." This new competition in the secondary provides great depth to a Wisconsin secondary that in the past has been marred by injuries and inconsistent play. In addition to a few other very capable defensive backs on the Badgers,the team will be able to consider utilizing a nickel package in order to aid in their pass defense. "We've got some young guys coming around, and whether they're the starter or not we are comfortable with someone else coming into the game," Cosgrove said. Although the Badgers have significant depth in the secondary, and only allowed 197 yards on defense this past week, everyone believes improvements still must be made before the Badgers head into Big Ten play. "There are going to be turnovers in a game," Cosgrove said. "However, we need to limit our opponents to field goals in the red zone. We didn't do that [against UNLV]. So that is a point of emphasis for us." Badger fans hope Cosgrove's defense will continue to improve and keep the North Carolina offense on its heels. Women's golf makes Michigan tourney debut The women's golf team returned from its first tournament in Ft. Collins, Colo., last week with a seventh place ranking and a day off. The team then got back to practice for the Mary Fossum Tournament at Michigan State University, which starts tomorrow. Coach Megan Menzel said the team was excited about its performance in its first tournament, and was looking forward to its next tournament in Michigan. The players competing in the Fossom tournament are Jill Womble, Pleasanton, Calif., freshman; Chelsey Pryor, Washington, Pa., sophomore; Tiffany Woods, Escondido, Calif., sophomore; Merideth Winkelmann, St. Louis, sophomore; and Amanda Costner, Claremore, Okla., freshman. The team is making its first appearance at the tournament and course in East Lansing, Mich. The tournament is also the first this season in which only freshmen and sophomores are competing for the Jayhawks. Without the presence of the upperclassmen, Menzel said she was still confident about the team and its performance. Winkelmann said, "I think we're a young group, but I think it'll be good for us. I think a lot of people don't know what to expect from us." Edwards said Michigan State could prove to be a challenge because of the home advantage, but it would be a good test for the team. The tournament will end Sunday afternoon. Oklahoma State freshman earns invite to Masters tournament — Mike Bauer By Jared James Daily O'Collegian via U-wire Oklahoma State University here." STILLWATER, Okla. Oklahoma State freshman Casey Wittenberg has been on campus for a couple of weeks. Sooner or later, he had to find time to squeeze in a round at Karsten Creek. "I played my first full round of Karsten on Saturday," Wittenberg said. "It's the first time that I'd actually seen the whole entire golf course. It's an unbelievable golf course. I knew it was before I ever even got up Wittenberg, from Memphis, Tenn., won't participate for the Cowboys when they head to the Ping/Golfweek Preview on Sept. 22. Wittenberg has been using the time to play a game of catch-up in his classes, after having missed a large portion of time due to golf duties. Wittenberg arrived to campus late from the U.S. Amateur Championship — where he finished as runner-up — and then missed another portion of time for the Walker Cup. Wittenberg said he plans to use the experience as a spring- But even before he had stepped foot on campus. Wittenberg wore OSU clothing for a nationally televised audience in the finals of the U.S. Amateur Championship. "It's nice to him see him do that against some of the best men's amateur golfers in the world," Oklahoma State assistant coach Mike McGraw said about Wittenberg's play. "He represented us well." Wittenberg fell to Nick Flanagan in 37 holes to become Oklahoma State's second consecutive U.S. Amateur runner-up. board to his collegiate season. "it's a lot of golf," Wittenberg said of the U.S. Amateur. "You have to be prepared to be up there. It was a great learning experience for me. Hopefully this year during the college season I'll be able to take some stuff that I learned in the Amateur and have it do good things for me this year." Wittenberg was one of the youngest players ever named to the Walker Cup team, and he will be considered even younger when he gets the opportunity to compete against the best golfers in the world next spring in the Masters. As U.S. Amateur runner-up Wittenberg receives an automatic invitation to The Masters "The Masters and the trip to the U.S. Open are going to be two really big things for me." Wittenberg said. "It's hard to believe that I'm going to be 19 years old and be playing in the Masters." For now, Wittenberg has his sights focused on catching up with his classwork and the collegiate game. He joins an Oklahoma State team that fell just short of a national championship. The Cowboys are ranked as preseason No. 4 by Golfweek. Wittenberg was picked as a first-team preseason All-American — the only representative for the Cowboys — and is the only freshman to be picked for any team. "The team was good last year, and they just fell a little short right there at the end." Wittenberg said about the Cowbows "But it's just one tournament. You build your whole entire year around one tournament, and it's just hard. "All the breaks have to go your way for you to be able to win that one tournament."

Nebraska volleyball picks up victory with mediocre play By Lincoln Arneal Daily Nebraska via U-wire University of Nebraska LINCOLN, Neb. — It wasn't that Nebraska started to play at a higher level than Texas A&M in the last couple of games Wednesday night. Rather, the NU volleyball team stopped beating itself. The Cornhuskers (9-1, 1-0 Big 12 Conference) took care of matters on their side of the net and cut down errors to down A&M 30-28, 26-30, 26-30, 30-26, 15-9 at the NU Coliseum in front of 4,105 fans. "I was waiting to see how we were going to respond," Nebraska coach John Cook said. "In between Games 2 and 3 we talked about what we needed to do on our side of the net. There was no yelling, ranting or raving. They had to make a decision to win." flat, still feeling the effects of the long weekend. The players were drained emotionally, not only from the roller coaster match against Georgia Tech, but the heightened emotions from last weekend's home openers. The first thing to suffer when a team is tired, Cook said, is the blocking, followed by floor defense and serving. The 'Huskers fell short in all three areas, especially in the first game. Nebraska committed 17 unforced errors, 10 hitting errors and seven service miscues. It also failed to record a block. "We gave them 17 of their 28 points," Cook said. "They could have been sitting on the bench and still got those points." A&M (7-3, 0-1) struggled to take advantage of Nebraska's poor play. Aggie coach Laurie Corbelli said the first game was theirs for the taking. "I was waiting for us to take it," sne said. "The fact that we couldn't capitalize is disappointing." A&M came alive on offense during the second and third games. Sophomore Laura Jones had 14 of her game-high 23 kills in those two games, and the Aggies out-blocked NU 7-5. The Huskers never did get on track with their serving game. Nebraska did record nine aces but had a season-high 16 service errors. 'Natural-born leader' Rix settles into role as FSU's starter By Peter Burke FSView via U-wire Florida State University TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — For most of last Saturday night's ballgame against Georgia Tech, it seemed like Florida State would succumb to the Yellow Jackets' sting after the offense failed to impress until the final six minutes. That was when quarterback Chris Rix and his offense staged a 14-13 rally that secured Florida State's unattended record. Up until that point, the name- calling had begun, the play calling had been questioned and those in the stands who were present for last season's 34-24 loss to Notre Dame had once again begun to protest the man behind center. That man is Rix, the redshirt junior out of Santa Margarita, Calif., who went from being the ACC Rookie of the Year in 2001 to bench warmer for five games in 2002. "It was tough sitting there watching my teammates out there," Rix said. When the lights glistened over Doak S. Campbell Stadium, it almost felt like deja vu for the team that finished 9-5 a year ago in the midst of a quarterback controversy. While there was never any quarterback controversy brewing against Georgia Tech that evening, the possibility of one looming seemed certain in light of the 13-0 deficit the Semi-loves faced with 12:26 remaining. throw long and they'd change their coverage anticipating we were going to throw the ball." "It was tough for us to get into that rhythm because we weren't on the field that long." Rix said. "We tried to get some runs and they shut that down. We'd try to Ultimately, the Seminoles prevailed with two touchdowns in the final minutes of the game. The man responsible for those points: Rix. The quarterback scored one himself on a sneak out of the shotgun. He was injured briefly, played through the pain and orchestrated another impressive drive that culminated with a 5-yard toss from Rix to receiver P.K. Sam. "Chris Rix has been a leader ever since he's been here," head coach Bobby Bowden said. "He is a natural-born leader." For the first time since arriving on campus in the fall of 2000, Rix feels comfortable in his role as starting quarterback, a role that he knows does not come without criticism. "In the game of football, the only way you keep a job is by performance," he said. "Bill Parcells said potential is nothing, performance is everything. That's really what I have to do — perform."

KU WHEN/WHERE: Saturday, 6 p.m., Memorial Stadium TELEVISION: 10:30 on Channel 6 KANSAS VS. JAX ST. RADIO: 90.7, KJHK HOW THEY COMPARE Kansas (2-1) enters tomorrow's game coming off a 42-35 road victory against Wyoming. The Jayhawks played well on offense, but struggled at times on defense. That's how the season has gone thus far for the Jayhawks, who are winning on the strength of the Big 12 Conference's second ranked offense while giving up more yards than any other defense. Since the season opening loss to Northwestern, the offense has been extremely efficient, scoring on all nine of its possessions inside the opponents 20-yard line after going 2-2 inside the red zone against the Northwestern Wildcats. Jacksonville State (1-1) travels to Lawrence following a 28-16 loss to North Alabama. The Division 1 AA Gamecocks run the ball on offense and usually play sound defense. Jacksonville did have trouble last week containing a multi-threat quarterback in North Alabama's Shane Hall, so Bill Whittemore could stand to have a big day. The Gamecocks defeated Alabama A&M 9-6 to open the season. OFFENSIVE ADVANTAGE: Kansas The Jayhawks have moved the ball through land and air on the way to averaging 36 points per game in three games. Bill Whittemore is on a hot streak, throwing four touchdowns at Woming Jacksonville State has struggled on offense this season, averaging a paltry 12.5 points per game. The strong point of the offense appears to be the running game. The Gamecocks average 176.5 yards per game rushing, led by senior tailback Kory Chapman's 90 yards per game. Chapman averages almost six yards per carry and has one touchdown. Jacksonville State does like to jump out early on their opponents, as more than half of the Gamecocks' points have been scored in the first quarter. The Gamecocks have two mobile quarterbacks that may see action Saturday. Maurice Millins started this season as the starting quarterback and is the better athlete, but Anthony Mayo started last season, and was announced as Jacksonville's starter for Saturday. Ralph Jenkins and Craig Agee are both reliable receivers with big-play potential. Neither is extremely physical, though Agee is the heftier wideout at 170 pounds. While the line is fairly small, the guards weigh in at over 300 pounds apiece. 3 Gordon friday, september 19, 2003 and eight this season He also has a rushi touchdown, and is well on pace to break last year's record 22 total touchdowns. Clark Green and John Randle form a versatile running back tandem, while full-back Austine Nwabuisi added two touchdowns last week. The offensive line has allowed one sack all season, and has helped the running backs average almost five yards per carry. Mangino DEFENSIVE ADVANTAGE: Kansas The Jayhawks tallied three sacks last weekend against Wyoming and played good defense at times. The linebacking corps of Gabe Toomey, Nick Reid and Banks Floodman are as good Jacksonville State struggles against the pass, allowing 250 yards passing per game. The Gamecocks have yet to face a big running team, but so far North Alabama and have averaged more than four yards per carry against them. Jonathan Dryer is a good strong side linebacker. Most of the linebacking corps is smaller to add more speed to the 3-4 defense the Gamecocks play. The nose guard who anchors the line is Mark Tibbs, who is squat at 5 feet 11 inches tall, 304 pounds. None of the cornerbacks are taller than 6 feet. Look for a lot of blitzing from the linebackers to try to create pressure from Jacksonville's attacking defense. Greg Tyree and Brandon Perkins performed well in spot duty last week. The defensive line has worked all week at using their hands to shed defenders. Defensive end David McMillan has two defensive touchdowns, while his counterpart Monroe Weekley had two of Kansas' three sacks last week. The defensive tackles are fighting injuries, but Mangino said Chuck Jones could see some time Saturday. The defensive backs were lit up for 308 yards passing against Wyoming. SPECIALTEAMS; Kansas Johnny Beck has been kicking like his freshman year, while the return men Greg Heagans and Charles Gordon are both dangerous. Curtis Ansel is an excellent field position punter. The Gamecocks' Richie Rhodes averages 41 yards per punt, while Steven Lee is 2-4 on field goals. Chapman averages 25 yards per kick return. Maurice Daughtry is a good punt return, averaging over 15 yards per return. Kansas's coaching has looked almost impeccable thus far. The offense is clicking and the defense just needs to fill their gaps to greatly improve. COACHES: Kansas The Gamecocks run the risk of being intimidated coming into Memorial Stadium in front of what should be a large Parents Day crowd. Jacksonville State typically plays in front of 13,000 people, while the Kansas game could be three to four times that. They need to come out early or stay around in the game to think that they have a shot to Jack Crowe, Jacksonville State coach, used to coach at Arkansas, but he is 14-18 at Jacksonville State. That is a drop off for the team that won a Division II national championship as recently as 1992 over Pittsburg State. X-FACTOR: Intimidation versus let down win. BOTTOM LINE: Kansas Kansas is simply too talented to lose to a mediocre Division 1-AA team from Jacksonville, Ala., Kansas is too deep, too big, too strong and too fast. Last week, Jacksonville State struggled against a run-pass quarterback, and they will struggle again this week. If Kansas does slip up here, it will take away any momentum they built up with two solid victories, and could set Mangino's rebuilding plan back another year. If the Hawks win and win big, look out next week because Memorial Stadium will be rockin' when Missouri comes to town.

Residents will pay $1,218, a 30 percent increase from this year's rate Miller and Watkins Scholarship Halls have some financial catching up to do percent increases. Ken Stoner, director of the Department of Student Housing, said many factors including inflation increases and paying into the University's general maintenance fund had put the halls behind financially. As a result, a substantial increase is necessary. Rent will increase campus-wide, leaving residents in other scholarship and residence halls paying about $200 more next year, including food, Stoner said. next year, including food. "I'm not angry," said Liz Morel, a Lawrence junior who lives in Watkins Hall, of the changes. "I'm not wanting to fight anyone. I'm glad we got the information. I just want to hear other opinions." Stoner stressed to residents that their rent would never be as high as rent at other scholarship halls because of their trust. He said rent would go from being about $1,000 less to between $600 and $800 less. There are only two sources of income we have to fund Miller and Watkins," Stoner said. "The trust fund and rent." The department had tried to split expenses evenly between these two sources. But because of the lagging economy trust income has decreased. only trust income has the department has used money from the trust kept in an account at the KU Endowment Association rather than increase rent. When the trust fund produced more than was needed to fund the halls, the extra was stored with the association to accumulate interest. If the trust failed to produce enough funds for the halls, money was taken from the account to cover costs. The trust was also used to save money for large maintenance projects, such as foundation work, improved telephone and Internet connections and installing air conditioning. Such projects are so expensive that the department can not raise enough funds in a year to pay for them. This system was possible because of the University's legal interpretation of the original trust left by Elizabeth Miller Watkins that allowed money from the trust to accumulate from year to year. The result, Stoner said, was that maintenance projects would have to be covered by the general maintenance fund 10 Jean Anderson, 1996 KU graduate, watched as her two-and-a-half year-old son Jack Anderson, took a refreshing drink during the KU Open House on Saturday.

Since September 2002, more than 1,000 of the University of Kansas' faculty and staff members donated money. Their donations bring the total employee participation In the program to 2,600 since the KU First campaign began in July 1998. The money will count toward KU First's goal of $500 million. "Our goal for this is participation, not amount," said John Scarffe, director of communications for KU Endowment Association. "We're not as interested in how much they could give, but that they participate." Scarffe said that while it was possible that the recent turmoil over pay compression had affected the number and amount of donations, he doubted it. "If you look at people working in these professions, they do it because it's what they believe in," he said. "They think that what they're doing benefits society as a whole." Starting today, Lawrence campus faculty, staff and retirees will receive letters asking for their participation in the University Family Campaign.

Al-Wadi and fellow journalist, Kuwaiti Rana Kamshad, visited the University of Kansas on Friday. Arab journalists visit University By Meghan Brune mrbruce@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Two Middle-Eastern journalists stopped at the University of Kansas on Friday to broaden their knowledge of media in the United States. Rana Kamshad, Kuwait, and Nada Al-Wadi, Bahrain, came as part of the U.S. Department of State's International Visitor Program. The program provides funds for young journalists from around the world to visit professionals in the United States. Kamshad's eyes widened as she told a story from her San Francisco trip. "They asked us if we had the Internet vet," Kamshad said. Kamshad said while she was surprised by the Internet question, she was not shocked to find that many Americans didn't know about her country. The paper that Kamshad works for, Al Seyassah, has 12 to 14 pages of international news daily. The United States papers she saw had two to four pages of international coverage. She said Americans were more concerned with their local governments, while national governmental decisions affected everyone in Kuwait. The women started their 21 day tour of United States media Sept. 6 in Washington, D.C., then moved to San Francisco before coming to Kansas. Each city had a different focus — politics in Washington D.C., youth journalism in San Francisco and independence in the media in Kansas City. On campus, they spoke with journalism classes and visited The University Daily Kansan and KUJH-TV. They visited other Kansas media outlets as well. They will finish their trip in New York. Al-Wadi said she was curious about the media and how it ran in the United States. "I thought that American media would be so independent," Al Wadi said, "but I see that it is very similar in many ways to what is in our own countries." Her goal is to become more open-minded, learn more about the United States and then take it back to her country, Al-Wadi said. The paper that Al-Wadi works for, Al Wasat, has little history because it began in 2002. Both journalists plan to use their experience to educate the people of their countries about the United States. Kamshad and Al-Wadi will write stories for their newspapers about their trip. Al-Wadl, who is visiting the United States for the first time, said her stories would clear up some misconceptions from peo- "I had the idea that I would face so many problems for wearing my head scarf," Al-Wadi said. "But people accept me as I am; no one took a second look." Journalism professor Tom Volek escorted Al-Wadi and Khamshad at the University.

Edited by Ashley Marriott Panel eliminates Miss Kansas early By Abby Mills almills@kansan.com Kansan staff writer About 20 women gathered at the Kappa Alpha Theta house Saturday night to see Angela Busby compete as Miss Kansas in the 2003 Miss America competition. They didn't see her for long. MIAMI Busby was eliminated in the first round Busby and was only on stage for the introductory portion of the event. "It's ok," said Amy Schaeffer, St. Louis sophomore. "We're here for her." Busby is a senior at the University of Kansas from Lenexa and a member of Kappa Alpha Theta. She was crowned Miss Kansas in June. Those watching Saturday said even though she didn't win the contest, they were proud of her. Stephanie Dorr, Topeka sophomore, said she had boasted to people all week that her "big sister" in the house was going to compete for Miss America. When Busby came on the screen, girls at the party cheered for her. They said they were excited to see someone they knew competing on national television. "It's really neat because there are all these famous people there, and there she is," said Megan Sweet, Hutchinson sophomore. "We're used to hanging out with her here at the house." Busby was the featured baton twirler for the Marching Jayhawks and used that talent in her pageants. She was also recruitment chair for her sorority and involved in several other campus organizations before she was selected Miss Kansas. "It's amazing," she said. "I know how much she's involved in. I don't know how she got there." Sydney Martens, Leawood freshman, said she was impressed Busby had done so well with such a full schedule. After Busby was eliminated, women at the party rooted for Miss Hawaii, Kanoelani Gibson, who won first runner-up. Miss Florida, Ericka Dunlap, took the Miss America title. She also received a rhinestone tiara, $50,000 in scholarship aid and a yearlong national speaking tour. Edited by Doyle Murphy Miss America crowned ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Practice makes perfect. The new Miss America can attest to it. Ericka Dunlap, 21, of Orlando, Fla., who has been competing in beauty pageants since she was a child, saw the preparation pay off Saturday when she was crowned Miss America 2004. Dunlap, a senior at the University of Central Florida who hopes to become a lawyer, captured the title by beating out 50 other women, including a physician, two Harvard University graduates and a half-dozen other women either in law school or headed there. The youngest of five children, she got into pageants at 6, when her mother gave her a program book from one. Dunlap stayed up into the night reading it and was hooked. She won her first pageant at age 8. Picture yourself winning this Sampo. 42" Widescreen Plasma TV. You could win this or one of many other great prizes!

I WANT to be just like them when I grow up mom! FEMININE ROE MODELS letter to the editor Showing off individual beauty more attractive than generic ideals Elizabeth Willy for The University Daily Kansan I am surrounded by a generic kind of beautiful. It's packaged, patented, and slapped on television, in magazines and even in the The University Daily Kansan. It's the kind of beautiful where busy supermodels mud wrestle over beer, and sexy coeds like to throw slumber parties and have pillow fights in their underwear. I feel like I'm in "Attack of the 50-Foot Blonde Whose Turn-Ons Include Guys with a Good Sense of Humor and a Cute Butt." GUEST COMMENTARY Mike D. Jon Ralston opinion@kansan.com Reinforcements of the generic beauty idea can even be found at the University of Kansas, what with the Women of KU calendar and last fall's Playboy's Girls of the Big 12 pictorial featuring KU women. One of the Playboy models from the University has since gone on to become a Coed of the Month. It's upsetting that girls feel like they need to look like that in order to be satisfied with their self-image. Shows such as Nip/Tuck and Extreme Makeover, not to mention the thousands of makeover tips you can find in magazines such as Cosmopolitan and Glamour, make an impression on the way a woman perceives her own image. They reinforce the idea that you need to look like this to be happy, and that it's the only type of woman a man is attracted to. It would explain That kind of insecurity is not just exclusive to women. A full page advertisement found in magazines such as Rolling Stone every month claims that the overwhelming majority of women are unsatisfied with their lover's penis. That's only what women care about: a big penis. I guess I'll just add that to my marble slab of ways to please women that I keep hidden under my mattress, next to the porn and my Britney Spears albums. Even the University is thinking about its appearance, and has recently hired a consulting firm to analyze its image. It's up to us — the tattooed, nosed-pierced, nerdy anime lovers with the dyed hair — to combat that image. The calendar by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center is a great contrast to the Women of KU college because it will feature women based solely on their academic accomplishments, rather than their perceived physical beauty. It would also be great to see the regular calendar change, because its representation of the female student body seems to be excluded to 34-24-34. And for those non-calendar folk, it's all about showing those around you who you are without rubbing it in their face. Don't be afraid to show your creative beauty, through hair dye, tattoos or clothing that shows off your favorite band, movie or television show. That's more attractive than blonde hair and a tan. We need to celebrate, show and even flaunt who we are. And you don't have to be a calendar girl to prove you have a good selfimage. Ralston is a Westwood junior in journalism.

Louise Stauffer/Kansan Fail: letter to the editor Kansan' made poor decision to run out-of-date column I am highly disappointed that the Kansan editorial staff felt it necessary to run Arrah Nielsen's column on Sept. 12. What was the point of printing an outdated, stereotypical attack on gay men as plague-bearers? plague-bearers37 Nielsen tries to equate the actions of gay men in the late '70s and early '80s to the actions of gay men today; she seems to be trying to scare the straights and make AIDS a gay disease once more. Using past mistakes as an excuse to foster bigotry such as Nielsen does in her column is unacceptable. By Nielsen's justification, we should expect all German people to hate Jews. Nielsen conveniently ignores the fact that the Reagan White House would not give the Center for Disease Control the money it needed to educate gay men about the disease which resulted in their lack of belief in the disease as a threat. She tells of "mind-boggling promiscuity," omitting the part where heterosexual intolerance forced gay men into hiding at bathhouses. The danger inherent in Nielsen's column is that people will look at her out-ofcontext semi-factual data and assume they've gotten the whole story. The Kansan should never have printed this column without a substantial look into the contextual basis of Ms. Nielsen's facts. submitting letters and guest columns Sarah Burris is a Lawrence junior in English.

The RIAA showed it will not discriminate who it attacks by suing, among others, a University of Colorado football player, a 12-year-old girl and an elderly man whose grandchildren downloaded songs on his computer unbeknownst to him. Acting much like a small obnoxious child making faces to others while hiding behind his larger older brother, the RIAA looks to fill its greedy pockets further by throwing out subpoenas and hiding behind the guise of protecting artists and copyright infringement. Perhaps the RIAA would not find itself trying to protect its artists like it says if it did not push countless tiring artists who consumers do not want to invest their money in. Most people download music online because they do not wish to listen to an entire album of assembly-line artists the RIAA endorses when they can simply download the catchy single for free. Others download songs because they cannot stand paying the exorbitant prices of CDs the RIAA clearly gouges. Once upon a time, consumers could buy most CDs for around $12. Since then, the gluttonous hiking of CDs effectively priced out many consumers. Few businesses get away with the business practices the RIAA employs. While most industries compete to offer their customers the best care or prices, some industries such as professional sports and the RIAA corner most of their industry's market and actively seek to shortchange their paying consumers. Music fans used to have little recourse from the shackles of the music industry until the advent of Internet file sharing programs like Napster and Kazaa. Now that fans can speak volumes about the slipshod quality of the industry's product by circumventing its abhorrent business practices with music downloads, the industry chooses not to change like most businesses would be forced to, instead opting to sue its patrons for sums greater than its CD prices. Now is the time for the industry to become accountable for its business. Patrons must not buy the CDs. Continue to download the music and rage against the machine the music industry transformed into. Keep the music downloads coming.

Medical center building underway BROOKLYN, N.Y.--Representatives from the City of Brooklyn and New York State Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services held a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the new Brooklyn College Library. Contributed photo Officials broke ground on KU Medical Center's new building in Kansas City, Kan. The new biomedical research facility will contain state-of-the-art equipment and will cost about $56 million. Construction begins in Kansas City for new biomedical research facility By Robert Perkins rperkins@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The University of Kansas sacrificed parking space for the fight against diseases last week. On Friday, Kansas officials broke ground on the KU Medical Center's new biomedical research building in Kansas City, Kan., in what used to be a parking lot. When it's completed, researchers will have a five-story, 205,000-square-foot facility to fight AIDS, diabetes and infertility, and to find genetic links to diseases. "To unravel the mysteries of disease and debilitating illnesses, we need to create an environment that will attract top researches and foster collaboration," Chancellor Robert Hemenway said in a press release. The new facility, located at the northeast corner of 39th Street and Rainbow Blvd., will feature state- of-the-art equipment and give researchers more room to work. "They're interested in KU and Kansas, and they see the economic impact of the life sciences initiative," Scarffe said. Each research group in the building will have between 15,000 and 20,000 square feet of space for their offices and labs. University research is estimated to have a $900 million positive impact on the state's economy and create 9,500 jobs. space Vishal Patel, Shawnee senior, is applying to the University's medical school. He said improving the University's already above-average facilities would benefit more than just the University's students. "The gift from the Halls and private funds were viewed as seed money, which made the state step up and realize that they can float the bonds," said John Scarffe, director of communications for the KU Endowment Association. Edited by Michael Owells "Their facilities were good to begin with, and they're going to be even better now," he said. "I think it's great that they're committed to putting money into fixing problems that affect not just KU or the country, but the world." The new facility will include labs for molecular biology, toxicology and pharmacology and will cost about $56 million. Private donations and state-supported bonds covered the rest of the building's cost. The Hall Family Foundation provided $27 million of the total needed for the facility. That money came from the $42 million pledge the foundation made to the KU Endowment Association in 2001. Gas prices increase local average low By Kevin Kampwirth kkampwirth@kansan.com Kansan staff writer ■ Replace elogged air filters at least twice a year. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, this can improve gas mileage by up to 10 percent. Millard said that the price of crude oil, from which gasoline was extracted, was about $27 per barrel, down four dollars from the summer. Ongoing conflict in Iraq has also kept oil prices high in the United States. However, Americans aren't quite yet doomed to a life of paying an arm and a leg for gas. Though gas prices have been on the rise — one year ago, the average price for a gallon of unleaded gas in Lawrence was $1.35, five cents lower than the national average — it's still less than the national average of $1.69 per gallon. Make sure tires are properly inflated. The AAA claims under-inflated tires are the largest contributor to losing fuel efficiency. Regardless of funds, gas can be a drain on student finances, especially with rising prices. The National Institute for Automotive Excellence recommends several tips to improve fuel efficiency. The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in California is $2.03. Lawrence residents might try to remember that the next time they fill up for an average of $1.56 a gallon. pergami Gas prices fluctuate for a variety of reasons," said Amanda Millard, public affairs coordinator for the American Automobile Association. "Supply and demand is probably the biggest factor." - Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration and frequent braking, actions that can lower gas mileage by as much as 33 percent with highway driving and "I don't get as good of mileage as I used to. SUVs are great for a lot of reasons, but not when it comes to filling them up." Scott Burrage Palm Springs, Calif., senior five percent in the city. Using cruise control on the highway greatly improved miles per gallon. AAA statistics showed that for every 5 mph over 60 mph that one drives is like paying 10 cents more per gallon. The type of car a person drives also has a major effect on gas mileage. Millard said that trucks, SUVs and vans were the least fuel efficient vehicles because heavier cars eat up gas quicker. Midsize cars are the most fuel-efficient vehicles, led by the Honda Accord which got the best miles-per-gallon of any midsize car last year, according to www.fueleconomy.gov. The Toyota RAV-4 was the most fuel efficient SUV, averaging 25 mpg in the city and 31 for highway driving. While the Cadillac Escalade was the least efficient SUV, averaging 12 mpg city and 16 mpg for highway. Scott Burrage, Palm Springs, Calif., senior, drives a 1996 Ford Explorer. "I don't get as good of mileage as I used to," Burrage said. "SUVs are great for a lot of reasons, but not when it comes to filling them up." Gas prices in Lawrence are as low as $1.52 at some stations, but are as high as $1.66 at other stations. These prices change on a daily basis.

Actress Danielle Fishel and Director David Hillenbrand pulsate to the rhythms at The Last Call, 729 New Hampshire, early Saturday evening, Fishel, Hillenbrand, and fellow actors and producers toured popular Lawrence bars to promote their upcoming film "Dorm Daze". Fishel is probably best known for her role as "Topanga" on the TV series "Boy Meets World". "That was actually a prerequisite," David Hillenbrand said. "The cast for the movie must have appeared in Boy Meets World." Fishel's on-screen cohort is Jennifer Lyons, who played Lynne. Lyons has an extensive list of guest star credits in sitcoms such as Dharma and Greg and That '70s Show. Both Marla and Lynne are talkative, nosy, over-the-top girls who are quick to get into everybody's business, Fishel said. said. "It was so much fun because I knew girls like this," Lyons said.

"I went to Berkeley for three weekends one year," he said. His brush with the college genre may continue. There are plans for a Dorm Daze sequel.. There is also a possibility of making a television series based on the movie. the movie. For now, the directors and cast members are enjoying the promotional part of the movie.

"For years, we've been using the fund to subsidize rent. We can't do that anymore," he said. "We have to make that up in a hurry. We don't have the ability to spread that over any more years." At all other living areas on campus, part of rent is put into the general maintenance fund. Miller and Watkins have never paid into the fund, so they have no reserve money to pay for maintenance issues. Those fees will have to come from rent in the future and those funds have to start being collected now for the scholarship halls to catch up, Stoner said. Between decreased income from the trust, continuing expenses from building improvements and changes to fund management, the increase is necessary. Stoner said. Residents from the hall questioned why the increase was so dramatic. Stoner pointed out that rent had not increased for nearly 15 years, even for inflation, and had to catch up. Becky Haas, a Denver senior and Watkins resident, thought that system was a mistake. "Why haven't we been paying a three percent increase every year over several years, rather than a 30 percent increase now?" she said. "Why did they make that decision when prices are obviously going to go up?" Stoner answered, saying stability was not possible anymore. More asked who made these financial decisions and how Stoner got his numbers. "I'm a little confused," she said. "I would like to sit down and do the analysis myself. I'm curious if this is the best thing the University can do for us." — Edited by Katie Nelson Store's policy puts new spin on record industry By Steve Schmidt sschmidt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Buy a CD, do whatever you want to it for three days and return it in good condition—and get some money back. get some more information The new policy of local independent record store Seventh Heaven is intended generate more CD consumers and combat Internet piracy. Although Seventh Heaven is allowing its customers do what they please with CDs for three days, the company is not advocating illegal activities, Cabrera said. Store shift manager Jon Cabrera said the idea for the new policy came from the promotions department of the store's main headquarters in Kansas City, Mo.

We're really trying to "A lot of people don't actually understand what we're doing," Cabrera said. "You're not downloading. You're not hosting it on a Web site.

Other local independent record stores have no plans to implement such a policy. implement these steps: "There's nothing we can do about Internet piracy.

He credits his store's steady success to its sale of mostly used CDs for about $8 and new bands from independent labels, ranging from $12 to $15.

The average cost for used CDs at the store is $7.97 with new CDs ranging from $10 to $17.97.

Look out for the Mighty MAC. The overlooked conference filled with directional schools and other disrespected programs had the biggest day in its history Saturday. From Kansas to Alabama to the Glass Bowl in Toledo, Ohio, the Mid-American Conference sent a clear message to college football's big boys. Don't overlook us anymore. "Heading into the weekend we nad a sense our teams would compete well," MAC commissioner Rick Chryst said yesterday. "But I don't know if we ever have had a concentration of games on one day like yesterday. We've had teams spring upsets, but to have so many on one day against elite opponents doesn't happen often." Marshall started the memorable day with a 27-20 victory at No. 6 Kansas State, the highest-ranked team even beaten by a MAC school. Then Northern Illinois and Toledo followed with big wins of their own at night, with the Huskies winning 19-16 at No.21 Alabama and the Rockets beating No. 9 Pittsburgh 35-31 at home. Throw in Miami of Ohio's 41-21 win at Colorado State, which was ranked in the preseason poll, and Bowling Green's narrow 24-17 loss at No. 5 Ohio State and the MAC showed off depth that must make the ACC iealous. "It was a roller coaster," said Chryst. "You're just tracking each play and cheering like a fan. Everyone in the league shares in those wins. In the long term it really benefits us. In the short term it makes it that much tougher to get games like those scheduled." And other big-name schools might be hesitant, too, as they don't want to see their championship aspirations thwarted in September. Most of the slots are locked in to the big conferences,which can send teams that finish 6-6 to a bowl game while more deserving teams from smaller conferences sit home and watch. The MAC has provided five of the 15 wins by unranked teams against teams in the AP poll this season, matching its total from the previous 21 years, including the two against Top 10 teams. But it's likely only two of those teams will play in a bowl. "Days like yesterday really help build awareness about our level of football," Chryst said. Northern Illinois' second win against a ranked team this season the Huskies beat No. 15 Maryland 20-13 in their opener—put the school in the AP Top 25 for the first time ever at No. 20 this week. Toledo, Bowling Green, Marshall and Miami also received votes in this week's poll, giving the conference as many ranked teams and as many teams with votes as the ACC. "Right now, we're fighting like the devil to get respect for our league," Northern Illinois coach Jim Novak said. "This is a win we'll never forget." 9 FOOTBALL: Fourth quarter scores ensure Kansas' victory over Jacksonville State Gamecocks Satur Tony Stubbs, junior safety, greeted fans after Kansas' victory on Saturday. The Jayhawks beat the Jacksonville State Gamecocks 41-6 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A After a dry spell in the second period, coach Mark Mangino felt his team never fully let up on the Gamecocks, but may have slightly loosened its collar. "We have to be mature enough to face adversity." Mangino said. "But we also have to be mature enough to handle success." As night settled on Memorial Stadium, the dropping temperatures and tightened defenses kept both offenses at bay in the third quarter. The difference was Kansas' ability to wake up in the fourth quarter while Jacksonville State remained dormant. Green started the fourth with a 13-yard touchdown run for his first score of the season, and reserve quarterback, sophomore Brian Luke, finished it by connecting with junior receiver Gary Heaggans for a 14-yard touchdown on the ensuing Kansas drive. The two scores were the finishing touches on Kansas' third consecutive victory, and Jacksonville State's second straight defeat. The three-game winning streak is the longest for Kansas since 1997, when the Jayhawks started the season 3-0. Whittemore lived up to his billing as the nation's second-highest rated passer. In just three quarters of action, the senior threw for 319 yards, completing 19-of-32 passes, two touchdowns through the air and two more with his legs. Whittemore's statline also included 62 yards rushing. As Whittenmore will remain in the ranks of college football's toprated passers after his performance this week, his receivers have begun to notice a synchronicity with their flamethrower. "I'd pick Bill over any quarterback any day," freshman receiver Charles Gordon said. "He makes good reads and throws nice balls. I don't know, he's great." With his performance. Whittemore became the first quarterback in nearly three years to throw for 300 yards in a single game. That feat was last accomplished by Dylen Smith on Oct. 28, 2000 in a defeat to Texas Tech at Memorial Stadium. Whittemore's night overshadowed a ground effort that saw Kansas rack up 248 rushing yards, including Clark Green cracking the 100-yard plateau for the fourth time in his career and the first time this season. Freshman John Randle once again added a spark off the bench, gaining a career-high 78 yards on just 11 carries. The Jayhawks also came close to setting the record for total offensive yardage in a single game, falling 10 yards short with 641. The record of 651 yards was set in 1985 against Vanderbilt. Defensively, the 234 yards Jacksonville State was able to amass on offense was far fewer than what the Jayhawks have allotted their opponents so far this season. More pressure being put on the quarterback was also evident, as Kansas totaled a season-high six sacks. Even though the brunt of the Gamecocks' yardage came in a second quarter, after the Jayhawks' had a comfortable lead, the defense did not feel complacency was an issue. "I think every guy wants to play four solid quarters," sophomore linebacker Banks Floodman said. "We did let up in the second quarter, I don't know why, but we got it corrected." receited. The biggest scratch on Kansas' night came with the news that Whittemore played a good portion of the game injured. tion of the injury was unspecified, Mangino said Whittemore was not in harm's way, and would play next Saturday against KU-JSU BOX SCORE Att.

Edited by Erin Riffey JACKSONVILLE STATE: Gamecocks' coach impressed by the ability of Kansas quarterback Whittemore CONTINUED FROM PAGE 124 "That's the worst thing a quarterback could do, throw a ball into double coverage like that," Mullins said, "You just know that you're not supposed to do that." Mullins was relegated to backup status this week because Anthony Mayo performed better in last week's 28-16 defeat to North Alabama. While Crowe said he wasn't happy with his team's quarterback play, Kansas signal caller Bill Whittemore impressed him. impressed him. "Whitmore was more than good, he was special," Crowe said. "I've never seen one guy have such a large effect on a game." game Willis was originally on the Gamecocks' roster as a defensive back, but he was switched to wide receiver because of a lack of depth. Since making the switch, Willis has experienced a tough transition, filled with a steep learning curve and injuries. On Saturday though, he was to forget his problems for one play. After catching the 57-yard pass, the first of his career. Willis was injured again in the second half. He will probably play in Jacksonville State's next game. Overall, Crowe said he was "As long as they move the ball, and their defense bends but doesn't break, they'll be all right." Crowe said. "They are a sound football team."

Please refrain from throwing whiskey bottles at the Missouri band. Oh — that happened at Missouri? Those were reckless Tiger fans who pelted the Kansas band to the point they had to leave the stadium in 1998? That was the Kansas band that refused to travel to games at Missouri since then, for fear of their safety? OK, but if a Missouri football player has a relative, who happens to be a war hero and was injured in a plane crash defending our country, please have enough class not to taunt the player with signs referring to the crash, not this year. No wait, that was at a basketball game. And come to think of it, that was former Kansas player Nick Collison's grandfather who suffered in the plane crash and that sign was displayed by a member of Missouri's infamous student organization the Antlers. Well then, if former Tiger basketball player L.D. Murdock, who went to high school in Columbus, Kan., attends this year's football game, please don't harass or hurl coins and batteries at him to the point he has to leave the stadium. Wait, that didn't happen to Murdock did it? That was Ryan Robertson, a former Jayhawk hoopster and native of St. Charles, Mo. And where did that happen? Oh yeah, it was Faurot Field in Columbia, Mo. All right, but Kansas fans should really stop prank calling the Missouri student athletes in the middle of the night the week before the game. Not only is that kind of harassment classless and illegal, but it really doesn't have a whole lot of effect on the players. What? You're telling me that it's the Antlers who call Kansas athletes in hopes of altering the outcome of the game, as reported on espn.com and the Lawrence Journal-World? Well then, Kansas players, if you happen to win on Saturday, please stay off the goal posts. It's silly for the fans to tear them down just because the Jayhawks defeated a team that hasn't had a winning record since 1998. It's just absurd that the players would help. No wait, I can see where this is going. You're going to tell me that happened at Missouri too. That's right, those were Tiger players looking like buffoons as they mounted the goal posts last year after defeating the worst Kansas team in recent memory. OK, I apologize. I guess Kansas fans and players should just continue to act in the classy manner they have in the past. Have fun and enjoy the game. Mettlen is a Lucas senior in journalism. He is sports editor. By Nikki Nugent nugent@kansan.com kansan sportswriter Soccer wins two games on California trip The Kansas soccer team successfully played the role of spoiler this weekend. The Jayhawks defeated unbeaten San Diego 1-0 Friday, extending their record to 7-1-0 while the Toreros fell to 4-1-1. The Jayhawks became the only team to score on San Diego goalkeeper Libby Bassett this season. Kansas then defeated Loyola Marymount 4-1 Sunday. Kansas coach Mark Francis said he thought San Diego was an extremely athletic and intense team. He said the Jayhawks didn't play well in the beginning of the game, but began to pick it up in the late minutes of the first half. "I thought we played well in the second half," Francis said. "I thought we fought and scraped our way through the game and came out with a win." Kansas goalkeeper Meghan Miller took sole possession of Kansas' shutout record with 12 after Friday's game. Miller recorded her fourth shutout of the season with six saves, four of which came in the second half. Kansas' forward Monica Brothers scored the Jayhawks' only goal in the 48th minute. Brothers, a Leavenworth junior, headed in a pass from sophomore forward Caroline Smith. With her first goal of the season, Brothers moves into a tie for second place on Kansas' all-time game-winning goals list. Sunday's game against the Loyola Marymount Lions added another victory to the Jayhawks' best start in school history. Kansas won the game 4-1 putting the team's record at 8-1-0. Kansas midfielder Amy Geha an Overland Park junior, struck first for the Jayhawks on an unassisted goal in the 30th minute. Geha has two goals on the season. Kansas sophomore forward Kim Karfonta put the ball in the net for the game's final goal in the 85th minute. Defender Maggie Mason scored again for the Jayhawks in the 37th minute. Mason put the ball past the Lions goalkeeper off an assist from forward Jessica Smith, Rose Hill sophomore. The Jayhawks were up 2-0 at halftime. Laura Trask scored Loyola Marymount's only goal in the 80th minute after Miller was unable to collect the ball on a shot by Kristen Frawley. Miller recorded three saves in the game. In the second half the Jayhawks matched their goal production scoring twice. Defender Holly Gault, Spring Hill freshman, scored the Jayhawks' third goal in the 65th minute.

The competition begins at 8 a.m., with 36 holes today and 18 holes tomorrow. The 15 teams competing include two other Big 12 Conference schools, Nebraska and Iowa State. Coach Ross Randall said he sees Houston and Wichita State to be Kansas' toughest competition. Iowa State also looks strong, as they won their first event of the fall. "We just hope we can play a little better this week," Randall said. Four participants from last week's tournament at the Ridges Intercollegiate will compete, including Andrew Price, junior, who finished in a tie for sixth last week, Kevin Ward, junior, who finished in a tie for 41st, Ryan Rainer, sophomore, who finished in a tie for 36th, and Tyler Docking, freshman who finished in 81st. They will be joined by sophomore Pete Krisnich. Coaches used practice and team polling this past week to decide who would be in the starting five. The remaining five members of the team will be playing as individuals and will not affect the teams score. In last year's tournament the Jayhawks finished second behind Baylor.

In the first game of the match the teams switched leads back and forth until Kansas took the lead at 21-20, on its way to a 50-24 victory. After the Buffaloes (9-3, 1-1), blew a 26-23 lead and lost 30-28 in game two, the Jayhawks took game three 30-25, after leading 9-8 and never looking back. "It was all about serving today," Bechard said.

Jana Correa freshman outside hitter Freshman Jana Correa had match highs with four service aces and 11 kills, but the team spread the offense around. Middle blockers Ashley Michaels and Josi Lima were right behind Correa. Both had a hitting percentage of .316, while Michaels had 10 kills, and Lima added nine. the team did a good job of serving aggressively and keeping the Buffaloes off balance. Bechard said he was pleased with the way Lindsey Morris, junior outside hitter, played, as she had seven kills and only two attack errors. "I thought Morris had one of her better matches, and we need that from Lindsey," he said. The Jayhawks will take a break from their Big 12 schedule as they host the University of Missouri-Kansas City (2-9, 0-0) Kansas lead the all-time series 22-1, but Correa said the record of a team doesn't matter to her.

Kansas State senior safety Rashad Washington after the Wildcats lost 27-20 to Marshall Saturday 9A the university daily kansan off the bench monday, september 22, 2003 Marshall comes back to beat Wildcats The Associated Press MANHATTAN, Kan. — Marshall proved itself capable of beating a Top 10 team. Now Kansas State must prove itself worthy of being a Top 10 team again. The Thundering Herd's 27-20 win on Saturday dropped the Wildcats 10 spots to No. 16 when the latest rankings by the Associated Press were issued yesterday. also earned Marshall a few votes, but No. 20 Northern Illinois was the only Mid-American Conference team to be ranked. "We're a good team," Marshall coach Bob Pruett said. "We're getting better." It was the first victory over a ranked opponent for Marshall, which won NCAA Division I-AA championships in 1992 and 1996. "It's heartbreaking," Kansas State safety Rashad Washington said. "We were very capable of winning this game." Big plays by opponents in the Wildcats' first four games had raised questions about Kansas State's pass defense. Marshall's victory came at the expense of the run defense, which has long been one of the Wildcats' strong points. True, the Thundering Herd — best known for the passing game — had just 106 yards through the air. That's because Marshall (2-2) didn't need to throw much. didn't need to meet Franklin Wallace ran for 112 yards and Earl Charles added 83 for the Herd, who finished with 210 yards rushing — the most given up by Kansas State since Missouri had 229 in the Wildcats' 24-3 win on Nov. 24, 2001. "That was an adjustment our coaches made," Charles said. "We were getting five yards a carry, so we just stuck with it." Graham Goochneur, making his second straight start at quarterback in relief of the injured Stan Hill, was anything but a C bystander. He threw w o touch- down passes, passes, including the game-winning 3- yarder to Jason Rader with just over 3 1/2 minutes left. "The greatest thing that any team can have on offense is balance, to be a threat to throw it or run it," Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said. "They were smart about how they spread the ball around and how they got it in the hands of people who could get themselves open." Marshall has not said when Hill, who sprained his left knee in a 24-14 loss at Tennessee on Sept. 6, will start again. At least the Wildcats (4-1), idle this week, won't have to wonder who's starting at quarterback when they open Big 12 Conference play Oct. 4 at No.14 Texas. Snyder said Ell Roberson, would start against the Longhorns. Roberson could possibly have played on Saturday, Snyder said, but the Wildcats didn't want to take the chance of aggravating the injury in a nonconference game. game. Jeff Schwinn, who started both games in Roberson's absence, had a decent day passing for the Wildcats — 14-for-26 for 241 yards with one interception—but was woeful on the ground. He ran for a 1-yard touchdown in the first quarter but managed just 32 yards on 21 carries, never giving the Wildcats a credible option threat to take defensive pressure off running back Darren Sproiles. Sproles gave the Wildcats a late 20-19 lead with a 12-yard TD run and caught a 33-yard swing pass for a first down at Marshall's 3-line line with 25 seconds left, but he was held largely in check otherwise. He finished with 77 yards rushing, more than 40 yards under his previous average of 119 yards. Instead, Marshall tied the game at 7 when defensive end Jonathan Goddard snagged Schwinn's errant pitchout and went 84 yards for a touchdown. Schwinn also committed two disastrous fumbles, including one that cost Kansas State a chance to take a two-touchdown lead. "It was huge," Pruett said. "They were getting ready to go up 14-0, and the crowd was in it. Usually, in games like this, the longer you hang in, the easier it is because you get them out of doing things they normally do." kingsley the man on his touchdown Gnochneaur's first touchdown pass came after Schwinn's second fumble, which led Snyder to replace Schwinn with Dylan Meier.

The Associated Press HOUSTON — Dante Hall fed off a trip to Mom's kitchen. Hall had a 73-yard punt return for a score in his return to Texas and Priest Holmes had 156 total yards and two touchdowns to lead Kansas City to a 42-14 victory over Houston on Sunday, giving the Chiefs their first 3-0 start in seven years. "The guy that gave us the spark was Dante Hall. We are going to give the game ball to his mother," Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil said, noting Hall is from Houston. "She cooked for him last night and we are going to bring her home with us." The Texans (1-2) trailed 14-7 late in the third quarter when Houston rookie Tony Hollings, getting his first playing time at running back this season, fumbled after a jarring hit by safety Jerome Woods. The Chiefs' Dexter McCleon recovered at the Houston 32. Moments later, Trent Green hit a wide-open Eddie Kennison for a 15-vard score. a 10-yard score. The Texans went three-and-out on their next serjes, and Hall made them pay. Hall took the punt at the 27-yard line, escaped Jason Simmons and darted around the right end where he juked punter Chad Stanley. Then he picked up his blockers and cut back untouched across the goal line for a 2 8 - 7 lead. KC It was H aall's fifth punt or kickoff return for a touchdown in his last eight games. "I looked at this game on the schedule and I saw that it was on my birthday at home, and I was like, 'Luck can only take you so far. That has to be something from up there, lining it up.'" Hall said, pointing toward the heavens. "Then for me to go out and score, it was unbelievable." Texans coach Dom Capers said Hollings' fumble hurt their momentum. "We went out and fumbled the football, they went down and scored and everything turned around," Capers said. "The game got away from us." gortwyn By then Holmes, who grew up in San Antonio and played at Texas, was resting on the sideline after gaining 89 yards rushing and 67 yards on four receptions. His backup, Derrick Blaylock, scored on a 20-yard TD run in the final quarter, the first of his career. "When you give guys from Texas a chance to come home, we do everything big in Texas. Just look at (Reliant Stadium),." Holmes said, adding that he'd like to return for the Super Bowl. Vermeil said he removed Holmes, who was listed as questionable this week with a variety of nagging injuries, to preserve him for the NFL grind. "What can you say? He is a complete football player." Vermeil said. "He is a great individual and an inspiration to our football team." The Chiefs went up 42-7 when Shaunard Harts returned David Carr's second interception 39 yards, hurdling Carr at the goal line. Carr left the game and had an ice pack applied to his right calf, though he said his exit was not related to his slight injury. Tony Banks played the final minutes and laed a late TD pass to rookie Andre Johnson, who finished with twoceptions for 102 vards and two scores. The Chiefs went to the air early as Green guided them down the field on their second possession, gaining 31 yards on an outlet pass to Holmes to the Houston 6. Holmes scored on the next play, sprinting around the right end and into the end zone. Two possessions later, the Chiefs were threatening again when Texans linebacker Charlie Clemons tipped Green's pass and cornerback Marcus Coleman leaped for his third interception of the season. Houston drove past midfield when Carr hit rookie Johnson in stride for a 43-yard scoring play, capping the longest TD drive in the team's short history. Kansas City then turned to Holmes, who had one catch and seven runs on the ensuing 14-play drive that ended with Holmes outrunning safety Matt Stevens around the left end for a touchdown and a 14-7 lead. Notes:@ Hollings, who played along with starter Stacey Mack, was the Texans' leading rusher with 41 yards on seven carries. Mack had 39 yards on 13 carries. Mack had 59 yards on 6 of 11. The Texans' final touchdown allowed them to avoid tying the franchise record for worst loss. The Bengals won 38-3 at Reliant Stadium last year. ... When Banks entered the game, it was the first time in the team's 19-game history someone other than Carr has played quarterback, a streak of 1,125 snaps. Banks went 7-of-11 for 51 yards. Royals defeat White Sox; tied for second in division The Associated Press CHICAGO — While the Chicago White Sox fade, the Kansas City Royals aren't ready to give up. Rondell White hit a two-run homer and Aaron Guelve drove in three runs as the Royals sent the White Sox to another big loss, 10-4, yesterday. "Right from the get-go, this team's shown courage," Royals manager Tony Pena said. "This team is going to play hard the whole year. That's the point. The season's not over. There's still a week to go." Chicago (81-74), which trailed 4-0 before it came to the plate, has dropped eight of 11, falling 5 1/2 games back of first-place Minnesota (87-69). It is the largest deficit in the AL Central for the White Sox since July 22. "I don't know if it has been only the last two games. It's been a weird thing. We have it for a little while and it fades away, so it's been interesting. I just don't think we are bringing what we have in here out there every day." "This was just another game where we came out not intense," said Chicago second baseman Tony Graffanino, who made two of his team's three errors. Kansas City, which has won seven of nine, tied the White Sox for Darrell May (10-7) allowed four runs and six hits in eight innings, retiring 14 of 15 batters during one stretch, starting in the fourth inning. second place with seven games remaining. The Royals were helped by three Chicago errors. “It's disappointing to see us play this way at this time of year,” White Sox manager Jerry Manuel said. May studied Brian Anderson, who pitched a five-hitter in a 7-1 win Saturday night. wil said I could "I tried to replicate," Maysa said. "I got ahead of batters, and my slider and changeup were working." Jon Garland (11-13) lasted just 22-3 innings, matching his shortest start this season. He allowed seven runs and six hits. "It was very disappointing to have that type of performance today," Manuel said. Angel Berroa led off the game with a walk and Carlos Beltran singled. Mike Sweeney and Joe Randa hit RBI singles. Guiel hit a two-run double. Magglio Ordonez had a sacrifice fly in the bottom half, but Kansas City made it 7-1 in the third. Sweeney scored from first when Raul Ibanez doubled and Graffanino threw wildly on the relay. Garland failed to back up the plate on the plate. White hit a two-run homer later in the inning, chasing Garland. "I expected more," Manuel said. "There was times when he showed flashes of brilliance, but for the most part I expected him to be at a different level, and I still believe that he has the potential to do that." After Aaron Rowand's RBI single in the bottom half, Kansas City opened a 9-2 lead in the sixth. Scott Schoeneweis hit Guiel with a pitch leading off the inning and shortstop Jose Valentin made a throwing error trying for a forceout on White's grounder. Desi Relaford followed with a two-run single. Guiel hit a sacrifice fly in the seventh, and Rowand had a two-run homer in the eighth. I got kicked so much this week that I'll most likely still be sore by the time next Saturday rolls around. In all, more than 40 people were able to top my pathetic record, but there were three winners this week, whose records topped everyone else. Those three were the young men that posted outstanding 10-2 records in what was easily the most difficult slate of games to pick this season. Greene humbled by defeat This week's three winners were Lawrence senior Chris Hund, Matthew LeCover and Erik Hansev. LeCover, Dallas senior, was one of just a few entrees to pick Michigan State for an upset victory at Notre Dame. He said the pick had little strategy to it, just his hatred of the Fighting Irish. What killed me this week was my traditional favorites losing unexpectedly and my hated rivals winning and fueling my disdain for them. Michigan, Georgia and Arizona State all fell victim on the road to an underdog, but that is not as hard for me to accept as Bowling Green coming so close to upsetting Ohio State and falling just short. Another painful pick came from the Nicholls State vs. Texas A&M-Kingsville game. I went with the pick that looked best by the numbers, but Hansey had a better system. Ryan Greene rgreene@hansan.com commentary commentary I will not even do the honor of saying my record from this weekend, but that cannot happen again. "I was just thinking with the name Texas A&M, there had to be some logic there," the Olathe sophomore said. The load lightens up a bit with next week's matchups, which will be perfect for redemption. After all, I need that pretty badly after 40 swift kicks to the behind this weekend. Ouch. Greene is a Vernon Hills, Illinois, senior in journalism.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8. You may have to give up one thing to get something better. First, figure out which is which. The better thing doesn't have to be a reasonable request, by the way. The more you learn, the more you have to share with the people you love. They look to you for answers. You can help them find what they seek. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7. You'd rather stay home and work on your project, but someone may have other plans. If that's the case, do what needs to be done so that you can do what you want later on. Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 7. Today is a 7. Don't worry about spending a little more than you'd planned for a household item. The higher-quality one will last longer, resulting in eventual savings. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 7. You're more in control of your situation now, and you love the way that feels. It's not all you who's doing it, though. Be thankful for what you've learned. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7. TODAY is the The planning phase is just about finished. It's time to get down to work. The good news is that money will soon come in as a result of all your efforts. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a7. A loved one may be hard to figure out, but don't stress about it too much. Don't gossip about him or her, either. That would only make matters worse. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a7. your tranquility may be interrupted by visitors from afar. Be nice, but also let them know if they're overstaying their welcome. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 7. A little objectivity can help you solve a puzzle. The reason it doesn't make any sense is because you're looking at it too closely. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 6. Economics could be one of your favorite subjects. You have a talent for making sure you have plenty of whatever you might need, so don't worry.

Whittemore ran 319 yards and made two touchdowns. By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan The Kansas football team followed its coach's advice by not overlooking Jacksonville State. In fact, the Jayhawks went one step further, overwhelming the Gamecocks from start to finish in a 41-6 victory. With a raucous crowd of 34,712 at its back, the Jayhawks dominated the game early both offensively and defensively never looking back. Kansas presented an offensive attack in the first quarter that would have been confusing to any defense in the country. The Division 1-AA Gamecocks were simply no match for the perfect blend of sophomore tailback Clark Green bruising defenders on the ground and senior quarterback Bill Whittemore lighting up the secondary with two touchdown passes of more than 50 yards. The Jayhawks held onto the ball for 8:13 in the opening period, constantly keeping the Gamecock defense off balance. On the opening drive, eight of Kansas' 10 plays were on the ground, culminating in Whittimore slamming his way into the endzone, head first as always, from two yards out. KSU 83 Then after forcing Jacksonville State to punt, Whittemore hit sophomore receiver Mark Simmons for a lengthy touchdown bomb for the second consecutive week. The 65-yard throw was placed perfectly, hitting Simmons in stride to not only speed past the Jacksonville State secondary, but also leaving any hopes of a road upset in his wake. The Jayhawks added a 15-yard Whititemore touchdown and a 57-yard touchdown catch by junior Brandon Rideau to take a commanding 28-0 lead. That was only the first 15 minutes. Jacksonville State was finally able to find a seam in the stingy Kansas defense in the second quarter, and added a touchdown on a 57-yard pass from Maurice Mullins to Neilka Willis. With a missed extra point, the Gamecocks headed to the locker room in a 28-6 hole. Even though Kansas' offense was unable to score in the second quarter, Jacksonville State headed to the locker room at halftime with little hope of a comeback.

'Stage fright' kills Jax State By Kevin Flaherty kflaherty@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Like many Division 1-AA football teams taking on a Division 1-A opponent, Jacksonville State entered its game at Kansas Saturday thinking it had a chance to win. But the Jayhawks quickly jumped ahead of the Gamecocks, demoralizing them with a 28-point first quarter that led to a 41-6 Kansas victory. When Kansas came out hot, there was nothing the Gamecocks could do as the Jayhawks outgained them 262 yards to seven in the first period. Jack Crowe, Jacksonville State coach, said his team began the game in a weakened emotional state. "We had stage fright," Crowe said. "I kept asking them if they were seeing something they hadn't seen before." Jacksonville State did get a brief burst of energy from backup quarterback Maurice Mullins in the second quarter. Soon after entering the game, Mullins threw a 57-yard touchdown pass to Neika Willis, cutting the score to 28-6. Mullins said the play worked to perfection. While both Jacksonville State quarterbacks struggled, Mullins showed flashes on his way to completing 9 of 18 passes for 147 yards, a touchdown and an interception. "It was a designed play that we worked on all week, and it worked like we thought," Mullins said. "They bit on the option fake and it was wide open." It was his interception, thrown to Tony Stubbs, that bothered Mullins afterward.

The Jayhawks defeated Colorado 3-0 Saturday afternoon in their Big 12 Conference home opener, their fourth victory in five matches against the Buffaloes. COLORADO 10 COLORADO 7 "They had our number for the first three years I think." Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "I think they're still very good, it's just a little bit about what we're doing: getting better." Eric Braam/Kansan Junior middle blocker Ashley Michaels attempted to split Colorado outside hitters Nicole Carr and Austin Zimmerman Saturday. Michaels recorded 10 kills in the Jayhawks' three-game match with the Buffaloes. Freshman Janaina Correra led Kansas with 11 kills last weekend. When Bechard came to Kansas (8-4 1-1) in 1998, his teams lost five out of its first six matches against the Colorado team. But the victory Saturday night was the third in a row against the Buffaloes, and it came right after a 3-0 loss to rival Kansas State.

Porch collapse injures two Lawrence resident Lindsey Weinstein, 21, refused transport from Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical, but did go to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for treatment. Hospital officials were unable to comment on her condition yesterday. Victor Torres, director of Neighborhood Resources for the city of Lawrence, said the porch fell because it was overloaded. A 22-year-old female University student was also treated for minor injuries and released at the scene by Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical. "You don't want to congregate on those types of decks, because it's not safe." Torres said. The porch was 10 to 12 feet off the ground, and was 6-feet wide and 12-feet long. Along with the 20 people, there was also a keg and a cooler on the porch. ventable. He said there should have been joist hangers installed during construction although they were not required by law. Joist hangers are metal straps that support the porch by attaching it to the wall. Michele Kessler, attorney and associate director of the University's Legal Services for Students, said it was possible that either the landlord or tenants could be sued. Kessler said the tenants could be held liable if they had deliberately overloaded the porch. She said the landlord could be held liable if the porch did not meet building code requirements. The landlord and tenants would be more likely to face legal action if someone had been seriously hurt, she said. Robin Krug, the landlord, was not available for comment yesterday. Long declined to comment on the incident. On June 29 in Chicago, a porch crowded with up to 50 people collapsed onto a second porch beneath it containing others. Twelve people died and 57 were injured. According to CNN.com, most of the students on the porch in Chicago were college-aged.

A study released last week showed that only 78 percent of North American travelers washed their hands after using the restroom. The importance of handwashing is even more pronounced on college campuses, where many students live in close quarters. In residence halls and Greek houses, items as common as doorknobs become vessels for disease. "Right now, we have a stomach flu spreading on campus," said Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins Health Center. "And it's all because people aren't washing their hands." Strother said a little soap and water went a long way in slowing down everything from e. coli to upper-respiratory infections. Kayla Dudley, Topeka freshman, said she worried about getting germs from other people. "When you're around so many people all the time, it's so easy to spread stuff," Dudley说. "It's scary." 10 But they're not, according to the study. Researchers with the American Society of Microbiology conducted the survey by observing restrooms in five major airports throughout North America. They also surveyed 1,000 adults by telephone. Researchers found that, while 95 percent of people said they always washed their hands, only 78 percent of people actually did. The study also showed that, on average, women washed their hands more than men. Dudley said. It is very Strother said sickness often spread among people who live together. "We'll see one member of sorority in for the flu, and a week later we have 20 girls come in to see us," Strother said. "Everybody needs to be washing." But Strother cautioned that how often you washed your hands wouldn't matter unless you washed them properly. "Most people leave a lot of germs on their hands." Strother said. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment lists the steps to proper handwashing on its Web site at http://www.kdhe.state.ks.us/wash_e_m/howtowish.htm. The Web site said hands should be scrubbed with soap and warm, running water for at least 20 seconds to eliminate germs. All surfaces of the hands should be washed and then dried completely with a paper towel. - Edited by Joey Berlin Center opening rescheduled By Danielle Hillix dhillix@kansan.com kansan staff writer Weight lifters and basketball players will have to wait a while longer. The opening of the new Student Fitness Recreation Center has been pushed back yet again. This is the fourth time officials have delayed the recreation center's opening, much to students' dismay. The latest plan now calls for the center to open its doors Friday. "Hopefully we'll get students in here this week," said Mary Chappell, director of Recreation Services. "That is, if everything goes as planned." Not much has gone as planned with the construction of the recreation center. Contractors originally slated the building for a July 31, 2003 completion date. That was moved back to Sept.4., then Sept.15 and then Sept.23. Now officials are crossing their fingers for Friday. Chappell said one problem led to another, causing all the delays. "When one thing doesn't happen, it's a domino effect," Chappell said. "Everything piles up and pushes back the progress." progress: Supplies are on back order and Hurricane Isabel has slowed shipping from East Coast suppliers, Chappell said. Materials are coming from as far away as England and Malaysia. The University is also still waiting to receive the hardwood flooring for the basketball courts, which could take weeks. "These aren't excuses." Chappell said. "They're just real things that happen." That isn't much consolation to students wanting to use the recreation center that their student fees have been paying for since 1999.

"I hear it's opening and I get all jittery inside," he said. "Then I find out it's not and it pisses me off. I'm sick of it."

Paul Kramer KU First campaign nearing its proposed total of $500 million KU First has raised $469 million for the University of Kansas. KU First is the fund-raising campaign for the University. Its chairman, Forrest Hoglund, announced Saturday that the campaign had collected the amount. The program began on July 1, 1998, and will end in December 2004. The program is expected to raise $500 million for the University. Money collected by KU First comes from private donors. Todd Cohen, spokesman for University Relations, said the amount raised was impressive. "It demonstrates how vital private donations are to the University," Cohen said. "The state is providing less and less money each year; that makes private money even more important." The money is used to allow the University to compete with similar universities in the quality of education it provides. The funds provide for projects that the state doesn't fund. Eaton Hall, the Dole Institute of Politics and the new Kansas Public Radio building are a few of the projects that the campaign has funded. KU First raised $77 million for scholarships for environmental engineering students, study abroad programs, first generation college students and Native-American scholars, as well as others. Money has also been used to get new professors to the University and to provide funding for equipment, research and graduate assistants.

But director Jackson Katz's new film looks for hidden moral messages between the ropes. The University of Kansas Men's Outreach program showed a film made by Katz and his colleague Sut Jhally, Wrestling with Manhood: Boys, Bullies, and Battering, at the Kansas Union last night. A group of more than 30 students watched and discussed the one-hour documentary. The film examines professional wrestling and its effects on society's concept of masculinity. Men's Outreach program coordinator and The University Daily Kansan columnist Travis Weller said the documentary made strong connections between televised pro wrestling and problems such as domestic violence and homophobia. Weller said the video's message was closely related to the tenets of his organization. "The outreach program is about exploring social institutions and how they affect masculinity," he said. "The pro wrestling industry is a major social institution right now." In one section of the film, Sex and the Male Fantasy, Katz looks at how the role of women in wrestling reflects male stereotypes of idealized, perfect women. "In pro wrestling, women are always objectified," Weller said. "Women are subservient to men in the ring." Jessie Funk, Manhattan freshman, said she was interested film because it showed a relationship between popular culture and masculinity. "I think it will provide me with a better view of why society attaches certain stereotypes to our gender ideologies," she said. Brian Konic, Overland Park senior, who found out about the film through his psychology of women course, said he had looked forward to seeing the film. "I think it'll be an eye-opener for some men," he said. "Wrestling probably contributes to some of the negative behaviors men exhibit." Weller said the Men's Outreach program used part of its programming budget to purchase Wrestling With Manhood and Katz's other film Tough Guise: Violence, Media and the Crisis in Masculinity. Tough Guise will be shown next month in a similar event. Weller said Katz's videos raised issues that were important to everyone on campus. "Gender is a huge part of who we are and how we think of ourselves," Weller said. "We all need to be aware of that when we're making our decisions." Edited by Scott Christie By Amber Byarlay abyarlay@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Pedometers give walkers a leg up University of Kansas students may be walking five miles a day without realizing it. Students with pedometers can find out just how many miles it takes to get from one end of campus to the other. Pedometers are small instruments worn on the waistband that measure the number of steps the wearer takes. The instruments work by using a suspended lever arm. The lever arm is attached to the pedometer with a screw. It is balanced by a horizontal spring and when the pedometer is moved the spring will stretch. When it stretches it moves the lever vertically and a step is recorded. Sidnee Dyke, Wichita senior, said she didn't use a pedometer when she exercised but could understand why people would. "My dad uses one and he likes it. I’m never curious about how far I walk in a day." Dyke said. Bobby Myers, Meriden senior, also didn't use pedometers but had seen other's wearing them. "I don't see the need to at this point in my life." Myers said. "I think for some people it's motivating to see the results right in front of you." New Lifestyles Inc., a company that encourages exercise and healthy eating, sells pedometers on the Internet and in Kansas City, Mo. Theresa Vollenweider, the company's president and CEO, said the HOOFIN'IT Here is the average distance in steps and miles to a few places around campus. The distances measure from the fourth floor lobby doors of the Kansas Union to the main entrances of the buildings listed. Doctors recommend college students exercise for 30 to 60 minutes a day or walk about 10,000 steps.

The more features a pedometer had, the more it would cost. Vollenweider said. Pedometers work by using a suspended lever arm, which is shown above. The arm is connected to the pedometer and records a step when it moves vertically. Brett Richter, Backwoods salesman, said the store didn't sell many pedometers but he had thought about buying one. "I've been curious to see how far I walk to class and stuff," Richter said. "But as far as customers go I haven't had anybody ask me about them." Pedometers range from $15 to $45 and can be bought in Lawrence. Backwoods, a store located at 916 Massachusetts St., sells a digital pedometer for $20. Vollenweider said her company "My dad uses one and he likes it. I'm never curious about how far I walk in a day." Sidnee Dyke Wichita senior suggested customers walk at least 10,000 steps, or roughly five miles, every day. That number was determined by Yoshiro Hatano, a Japanese physician, who researched how many steps individuals should walk each day to maintain or improve their health. Pedometers allow people to have instant feedback on how much they exercised in a day. "Pedometers are showing the most promise of anything in getting people off their seats and on their feet," Vollenweider said. - Edited by Andy Marso Local Body of drowning victim believed to be camper's The Douglas County Sheriff's Office discovered what it believes is the body of 38-year-old Leavenworth resident Thomas B.

STAYSKAL TAMPA 9/03 TRIBUNE Remember what Reno represents perspective COMMENTARY When your academic career at the University of Kansas comes to an end, there will undoubtedly be campus events that you will regret having missed. With former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno visiting campus tomorrow, one of those instances may be upon us. Tickets to see Reno at the Lied Center are disappearing faster than weapons of mass destruction in the deserts of Iraq. While Reno will no doubt receive a great deal of praise and adoration during her visit, it would be disappointing if students did not take this opportunity to pose any poignant questions about her tenure in the Clinton administration. Ben McCarthy opinion@hansan.com Successful efforts were made by Reno and other high-ranking government officials to construct a story in the media that the Branch Davidians were not killed, but rather had engaged in a mass suicide, led by David Koresh. When speaking of the fatal Waco raid, Reno said law enforcement officers had acted with great professionalism during the month-long standoff. While Nobody ever really held Reno, or her boss, accountable for the federal law enforcement disaster that resulted in the deaths of four federal agents and 82 U.S. civilians. The Branch Davidians, in Waco, Texas, were of a sect of Christianity that was framed by the media and Reno's office as a cult following. The groups' irrational religious beliefs included descriptions of a figure named "jesus," a place called "Heaven," and other similar "crazy" views on religion. This was just one of the tactics Reno utilized in order to minimize the scrutiny of her office role in the deaths of U.S. civilians. While the FBI would later acknowledge that flammable devices were fired into the Branch Davidians compound prior to it burning, then attorney general Reno denied any flammable devices were fired on the day of the fire. The evidence of federal law enforcement's role in the destruction of the compound, and the subsequent deaths of the civilians inside were later exposed by a series of books, films and independent public hearings. The documentary,Rules of Engagement, even illustrates the reality that law enforcement agents, possibly U.S. Army "Delta" soldiers, used live ammunition and explosives in the time of the fatal raid. Clinton and Reno made soft whispers admitting responsibility for the incident, the public never seemed to hold them accountable for the death of fellow Americans. As one hand washed the other, Waco silently became the largest account of civilian deaths brought about by a federal law enforcement agency. The tragedy in Waco exposed federal justice and law enforcement's tendency to play above the law, fuelled resentment toward Wayne Stayskal/KnightRidder the federal government, FBI and Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and provided what Timothy McVeigh would later call his motivation for the Oklahoma City bombing. While you can certainly point to other red flags on Reno's record, who can forget the "rescue" of a loveable Cuban boy that involved automatic weapons, giving the "green light" to burn 82 American civilians to a crisp might be a good starting point for questioning Reno when she arrives in town. The current climate of silent opposition in American discourse allows politicians to travel the country without the worry of having the skeletons of their past brought into the public spectrum. Reno and her handlers are obviously resting assure that engagements, such as her appearance at the University, will serve as little more than a public relations ploy for her future political endeavors. The era of politically active student bodies died out long ago and has been replaced by a generation of students void of a community and political awareness. McCarthy is a Lenexa nontraditional student. Despite the new reality of American discourse and university life, tomorrow evening would be a perfect opportunity to demonstrate that Americans, college students in particular, still have the ability to hold public officials responsible for their actions. For starters, Janet Reno has never been asked to be accountable for her role in the armed conflict in Waco, Texas. Learn to love your body image,not the media's perspective What makes a person attractive? To some extent, beauty is still in the eye of the beholder. But today's media and its portrayal of attractiveness influence how people view others, not only physically, but in other aspects as well. Characteristics having nothing to do with outside appearances are linked to a person's looks. Images of successful and happy people, who also happen to have a particular body type (i.e. tall and thin), dominate the media, not only in America, but in Europe and Asia as well. COMMENTARY Studies from the National Eating Disorders Association show the notion of the ideal body image is causing both men and women to have a distorted view of themselves, especially in comparison with what they believe is the norm, as portrayed by Hollywood and advertising. More alarming is that superficial characteristics play an even greater role now than they did even 20 years ago in determining how members of our culture view one another. People tend to automatically assign positive traits, such as high intelligence and success, to people Sara Zafar opinion@hansan.com In a culture so obsessed with praising the ideal, it is no wonder that one can find images everywhere of happy, confident, thin people, enjoying the good life, surrounded by other thin, happy people. who are slender and tall and less positive traits to people who are heavier. Even people who are in no way overweight feel the pressure to be thinner in order to be happier. Inevitably people want to enjoy the same pleasures, and people believe they must match the ideal they see in every glossy fashion magazine or commercial for a dream vacation. The message is simple: thin equals happiness and success, anything less (or more) than thin equals unhappiness and overall failure. The "ideal" body type for both men and women is one that has instilled itself in peoples' minds with the help of the media, but it is not, by any means, the standard or healthy body type for the majority of people. According to the National Eating Disorders Association, 98 percent of women are heavier than the average model, but these women are not necessarily overweight or obese. They are simply larger than a size two. The process of distorting self images and images of others begins in the early years of development for most people. Forty-two percent of girls ages six through eight want to be thinner. "Fat" is frightening. This fear of becoming overweight is more than a health and fitness concern. It is a fear of failure, and a rising number of people are dealing with this problem. People do have concerns about their overall health and physical well-being. but believe the only way to achieve this well-being is through attaining the ideal body. Even athletes, although they are usually healthier and more physically fit than most by default, feel the pressure to fit the ideal as well. Many equate better performance with less body fat. This is an unacceptable situation. Perhaps if movies and the media portrayed more confident, high status people of all body types, rather than supporting the unbalanced picture of a successful society, people might be more satisfied with their bodies and their lives. Today, nearly 10 million people in America are suffering from some type of eating disorder, according to the National Eating Disorders Association. Many more have some kind of borderline problem that may not result in an eating disorder, but distorts their self images so much that they feel constantly inadequate and unable to live up to their ideal. Zatar is a Wichita junior in History editorial board Study abroad opens minds, alters views Even in these troubled and turbulent times, the benefits of studying abroad far outweigh the dangers. It's time to put down the freedom fries. Now more than ever, it is essential for Americans to understand cultures beyond its own. it doesn't matter where you go. Paris, Beijing, Buenos Aires, any place will offer you insight into a different culture and a new perspective on the world. Chatting with a local from a country you've only read about could bring a whole other world to life. Outside of America, most people have to speak more than one language. We rarely have use for another language; this can be a problem when abroad. We cannot expect everyone to know and speak English. It is important for American students to try to learn the language of the culture they are visiting. Don't worry if you're not fluent, any attempt is appreciated. You'll never go abroad for less money than while you are in college. You might never again have such cheap economic standards — staying in hostels and sleeping on trains — than you do while you are young. Most hostels are $20 or less per night (sometimes that even includes breakfast). Eating other meals can be as cheap as you want to make it. And to save a little money on the road, you don't have to ride the high — speed train; you can take the cheaper "putt" — putt" train and see the world one station at a time. Americans usually stick out like a sore thumb in other countries. We wear baseball hats, we have big North Face backpacks, and we're always loudly yapping away. We don't need to change who we are, but sometimes American students abroad are at fault for taking our differences to an entirely different level. It is these bonds of common understanding that will aid us in solving our current international difficulties. Studying abroad allows everyone else around the world an opportunity to get to know Americans. If you make a good impression, it can break down stereotypes from both sides. A keg party might be acceptable here but to foreigners getting drunk and being loud out in public is nothing but rude and obnoxious. It sends a message that American youth are only crazy partiers. To blend in, try having one after-dinner drink at the pub and leave the rowdiness for the club. Studying abroad can change your life. But to get something out of it, do not be afraid to dive into another culture. Enjoy the new food. Enjoy the music. Enjoy the long train rides. Take off the baseball hat. And remember, you are not only representing yourself, but in the eyes of the world, you also represent America. Applications for Study Abroad are due Oct. 1 for the spring semester. Anne D.

Because of several factors, the prices of plywood and lumber have doubled nationally. Although local organizations and businesses have yet to feel any ripple effect, an increase could be on the horizon. The shortage is largely due to spending by the Pentagon. According to a report done by the wood-products trade magazine Random Lengths, the Pentagon recently ordered 766,498 sheets of plywood as well as 320 truck-loads of 2-by-4, 2-by-6 and 4-by-4 boards, used mostly to build tent floors in Kuwait camps for the current military actions in Iraq. Mother Nature has also added to the problem. The ravaging effects of Hurricane Isabel has left victims needing plywood for rebuilding. Summer forest fires in British Columbia, Canada, one of the largest suppliers of lumber, have cut down on supplies as well. The Lawrence Habitat for Humanity chapter hasn't received an invoice with the higher prices yet, but Jean Lilley, executive director, said she knew they were coming and was concerned. Schmidt Builders Supply Inc., 1861 E. 1450 Road, is one of three local businesses that supply Habitat for Humanity. Company manager Kevin Sowards said the price for lumber had at least doubled in the last six months with the biggest price jump coming in the last six to eight weeks. For example, a 4-by 8 sheet of oriented strand board, supply wood for roofing, used to cost about $7 to $8. Now that's up to about $20. Contrary to other reports. Sowards attributed a majority of the higher prices to larger costs of building permits, which are up nationally 12 to 13 percent more than last year, mainly because of low interest rates. When workers for the House That Greeks Built begin construction Friday, the price tag of the project will be about $5,000 higher than it was two years ago. said Emilie Guenther, organization spokeswoman. The approximate $40,000 of project costs, compared to about $35,000 in 2001, was already taken into account before the announced plywood shortage, Guenther said. "Construction costs have gone up little since we last built, but I think a lot of that is due to inflation." Guenther said. More than 200 members of the greek community, Guenther said, will participate in the building of a house for 12 days starting with Friday's "blitz build." The house will be built on a site near the intersection of 17th and Harper streets where 14 houses have already been built by the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity chapter. Cottin's Hardware and Rental, 1832 Massachusetts St., reported no shortages in supply or a price increase, said Linda Cottin, store owner. Cottin said her small, independent store purchased its lumber through a co-op with True-Value Hardware and Rental of the same address. Cottin said her business would feel the effect when the co-op ran out. When that happens, Cottin said she assumed the situation wouldn't get better anytime soon. She said she thought larger hardware companies, lumberyards and speculation builders would feel the financial pinch first. — Edited by Cate Batchelder California awaits decision as court debates recall case The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court heard arguments yesterday about whether to let California's gubernatorial recall election go forward on Oct. 7, sharply questioning whether the Supreme Court's Bush v. Gore decision is grounds for postponing the vote. But judges also raised concerns that holding the election could deny some people the right to vote because of error-prone voting machines, giving hope to both sides that they might prevail in a legal battle that could still end up before the nation's high court. A court spokeswoman said a ruling was expected today. The American Civil Liberties Union wants the election postponed until six counties can install new voting machines so that 40 percent of California voters will not have to use the infamous punch card ballots that made "hanging chads" a household term during Florida's elections debacle. Judges Alex Kozinski and Johnnie B. Rawlinson challenged Charles Diamond, a lawyer for a pro-recall group, to explain just how error-prone a county can be before it violates the Constitution. "We cannot value one person's vote over another," Rawlinson said. If one out of every 10 votes doesn't count, Kozinski said, is that "close enough for government work?" "Itif was 50 percent I think we'd want to take a searching look," Diamond conceded. Still, he stressed, "You don't stop everybody from voting if some of the people who do vote may have their votes counted erroneously." But Judge Richard C. Tallman expressed concern about the nearly 615,000 absentee ballots that Californians already have cast. "The real point, I think, is it's an unlawful election," said Harvard University scholar Laurence Tribe, who argued for the Democrats in the Florida dispute that reached the Supreme Court in 2000. The hearing was the result of a ruling last week by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that postponed the gubernatorial election, agreeing with the ACLU that thousands of votes could be missed. The 9th Circuit later decided to allow an 11-judge panel to reconsider, setting up yesterday's hearing — broadcast live on national cable news networks. The 11 judges could either uphold the three-judge panel's ruling or overturn the decision, reinstating the Oct. 7 date. The losing side could then appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The three-judge panel repeatedly cited the U.S. Supreme Court's Bush v. Gore ruling that halted the Florida recount because counties were using different standards to read the ballots. Tribe, who is representing the ACLU in fighting for a postponement, defended the panel's ruling, but was grilled by Kozinski and Judge Diarmuid F. O'Scannlain. "We don't have a Bush v. Gore problem," Kozinski said, noting that California does have the kinds of standards for ballot-counting that Florida lacked in 2000. "It's a worse problem," replied Tribe. He said punch-card ballots "are not lawful to use" in the upcoming California election since the state already knows they are error-prone. Arguing for the state, Deputy Attorney General Douglas Woods said U.S. District Court Judge Stephen V. Wilson got the case right in mid-August when he rejected any postponement. "Today, with this election ongoing. he is even more right," Woods said during the 70-minute hearing. Kozinski prompted laughter throughout the ornate courtroom with an observation that perhaps could give recall opponents some reason to be hopeful. "He sort of missed it on the Voting Rights Act, just between us," joked Kozinski, a Reagan appointee who dominated much of the hearing. The ACLU contends that minorities may be more prone to have their votes discarded because the six counties have higher percentages of minorities than California as a whole. That would violate the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Helicopter accident kills 7 in Arizona The Associated Press PHOENIX — A search team yesterday recovered the bodies of a pilot and six sightseers killed when their tour helicopter crashed in the Grand Canyon. The victims were being taken to the medical examiner in Kingman to verify their identities, said Jody Hall, a deputy medical examiner. An autopsy will be conducted on the pilot, Hall said. Volunteer searchers and sheriff's deputies rappelled down the steep canyon walls to recover the bodies from the wreckage of Saturday's crash, said Lt. Rick Janssen, a spokesman for the Mohave County Sheriff's Department. "It's a very remote location," Janssen said. "Communication is also difficult because it's down in a valley." The sheriff's office identified the victims as Joseph Hanna, 52, and his wife, Nouhad, of Huntington, W.Va.; Masami Kato, 24, and Makiko Hatano, 23, both of Japan; and Julia Hueyng, 33, and Wolf-Dieter Mueller, 46, both of Germany. The pilot was identified as Takashi Mezaki, 45, a native of Japan who lived in California. The helicopter crashed and burst into flames Saturday about 50 miles northeast of Kingman in Descent Canyon near Grand Canyon West Airport, according to the Mohave County Sheriff's Department. The helicopter had taken off from an airport near Peach Springs, Federal Aviation Administration officials said The aircraft was shuttling tourists from the rim of the canyon to a helipad along the Colorado River on what was supposed to be a four- to six-minute ride, according to Sundance Helicopters, the Las Vegas-based company that operated the aircraft. Sightseers were to board a pontoon boat at the bottom of the canyon as part of a tour offered in a section of the Grand Canyon. Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board were surveying the crash site yesterday. The FAA also planned to probe whether flight regulations were followed, said agency spokesman Donn Walker. Jim Granquist, chief executive of Sundance Helicopters, did not return calls for comment yesterday. He has said he knew of no record of mechanical problems with the chopper. According to FAA records, the AS-350 chopper made by Aerospatiale was involved in two minor incidents in 2000. No serious injuries or damage was reported. Saturday's accident was the deadliest canyon tour crash since 1995, when eight people aboard a plane died while trying to return to Grand Canyon Airport. Saturday's crash happened in the same vicinity where a helicopter went down in August 2001, killing six. Campus Schiefelbusch Institute to bring four speakers David J.

That play marked the end of the Wildcats' 27-20 upset loss at home to Marshall, and could have marked the end of K-State's Bowl Championship Series aspirations as well. Both teams were without their starting star quarterbacks, so the winner of the game was the team that ran the ball. Only a week after being dominated on the ground by Toledo, Marshall racked up 210 rushing yards, while holding the Wildcats to just 128 yards on the ground and forcing 4 turnovers. said he wanted to stick with quarterback Mark Schwinn instead of playing the injured Ell Roberson. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder Snyder s a i d Roberson wanted to C play, and the two discussed the issue. Snyder said Roberson probably could have played but there was a risk associated with it. Rashaun Woods set an NCAA record with seven touchdown catches in Oklahoma State's 52-6 mauling of Southern Methodist University. He also set personal records with 13 catches for 232 yards. Josh Fields threw for 265 yards and seven touchdowns, but only 33 yards of his passing were not to Woods. The seven touchdown passes for Fields tied the Big 12 record. The number-one ranked Oklahoma Sooners blasted the UCLA Bruins 59-24 behind the return abilities of Antonio Perkins. Perkins returned punts for 65, 74 and 84-yard touchdowns on his way to piling up 277 yards, a new NCAA record. Perkins needed five yards to set the record late in the fourth quarter. What he got was a 65-yard burst down the sideline and into the record books. Perkins said that he owed the record to his blockers. "When I woke up this morning, I told my blockers I felt great." Perkins said in a press release. "I had confidence in them and told them to go out and make something happen tonight. It's all them. It's not really me." FloridaState scalped Colorado 47-7 in Tallahassee, Fla., behind Chris Rix's 394 yards passing. Seminole wide receiver Graphonso Thorpe caught eight of Rix's passes for 205 yards. The lone Colorado touchdown was an 81-yard pass from Erik Greenberg to Olympic-skier Jeremy Bloom. Texas A&M couldn't stop Virginia Tech running back Kevin Jones in a 35-19 Hokie victory on Thursday. The junior Heisman Trophy candidate ran for 188 yards and three touchdowns and quarterback Brian Randall had two clutch runs in the fourth quarter to seal the game. Texas Tech quarterback B. J. Symons threw for 586 yards and two touchdowns, but the Red Raiders committed several mistakes and had trouble getting in the end zone in a 49-21 loss to North Carolina State. Symons threw one interception, and the Wolfpack made him pay, returning it all the way for a 71-yard interception return. NC State F Missouri edged Middle Tennessee State in overtime 41-40 after blue Raiders kicker Jeff Kelly missed the extra point. Middle Tennessee led for most of the second half, but Missouri tied the game on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Brad Smith to Darius Outlaw with 1:17 left in the game. Andrico Hines passed for 248 yards and two touchdowns for the Raiders, while Brad Smith passed for 192 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 136 yards and another touchdown, the game winner.

MEN'S GOLF: Coach guides team through health troubles Edited by Neeley Spellmeier CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A through some of the nation's famous golf courses as a player and as a coach. Randall graduated from San Jose State in 1968 with a bachelor's degree in business but not before finishing a stellar golf career. The Alameda, Calif., native was a first-team All-American selection in 1967 and garnered second-place honors in the 1967 NCAA Championship behind longtime professional golfer Hale Irwin. From 1969 to 1976, Randall was a member of the PGA Tour after earning his tour card by finishing fourth in his first try at qualifying school. After spending two years as head golf professional at Ames Golf and Country Club in Ames, Iowa, Randall took an offer to come to Lawrence as Kansas golf coach and as a PGA professional at Alvamar Golf Club. Randall said he took the job at Kansas because of his respect for then athletics director Bob Mar- cum and Alvam developer and KU alum Bob Billings. "I'm comfortable here and I think there isn't a better place for me than Kansas," Randall said. Randall's role during his first four years at Kansas can be described as three jobs in one. Not only was Randall a PGA professional at Alvamar and the KU men's golf coach, but also the West Coast golfer was the KU women's golf coach. It was a multi-tasking effort that Randall knew would have to end. "I told the athletics director Monte Johnson that if we're going to have a good men's team, I can't help the women," Randall said. "Or if I'm going to help the women, I can't coach the men." Randall said not long after he was designated as the men's only coach his crop of Jayhawks began to show signs of greatness. It started with the emergence of John Sinovic as an All-American in 1988 and Kansas' first NCAA team appearance in 1989 since 1957. Then came the Jayhawks' breakthrough onto the national scene with NCAA tournament appearances in 1993, 1995 and 1996. But it was Randall's guidance of Kansas to a Big 12 championship in 1999 that got people's attention. "I got a lot of letters and many from students who said nice going so I realize they're watching," said Randall of fans of the program. Beyond victories and NCAA tournament appearances Randall said he gets the most enjoyment out of watching players mature into grown men in his program. "You get involved with them and you're their parents when they're here," Randall said. "They seek counsel from you. I've dealt with problems with girlfriends and everything." Andrew Price, Lake Forest, Ill., junior golfer, looks at Randall as more than just the man who improves his golf game. in my social life." Price said. "He's very positive, but he knows when to get on your case." Price and the rest of the Jayhawks have been there and seen the health struggles of Randall, and they are behind their golf coach. "He knows all that's going on "All the players are all concerned with his health," Price said. "Wejust try and play well for him and for us." Through his years as a collegiate golf coach, Randall has learned that today's players are hitting the ball farther than ever and yardage on holes are becoming longer. However, Randall's most significant discovery is that he cannot watch his players from a golf cart. "I would never use this as an excuse," said Randall, who hopes to return to play by mid October. "I look forward to playing golf because my players want me to. They probably can't wait to take my money." On the path to victory 1 — Edited by Abby Sidesinger John Randle, freshman runningback, faced defender Leroy Clark, Jacksonville State linebacker, in the second quarter of the game Saturday. The Jayhawks will face the Missouri Tigers next Saturday, marking the first time since 1997 both teams will enter the Border War with winning records.
