MRC begins building plans
With $500.000 remaining to raise. March 1 deadline is set
By Andy Marso amarso@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
No foundation has been dug and no bricks have been laid, but the new Multicultural Resource Center will start to become a reality today. On paper, anyway.
After a semester of uncertainty about funding, the Multicultural Resource Center Building Committee will meet for the first time today to start planning the new facility, which will be located on the
north side of the Kansas Union.
The committee, appointed by provost David Shulenburger, is made up of student senators and University administrators.
The 13-person committee will be chaired by Richard Johnson, Associate Vice President and Dean of Students and will include four student representatives: student body vice president Catherine Bell, residential senator Lase Ajayi, holdover senator Casey Collier and law senator James Owen.
Student Senate approved a $3.50 per per
son, per semester increase in student fees in April 2003. The increase paid for $1 million of the new center's $2.5 million cost.
But Shulenburger put the committee appointments on hold until the Kansas University Endowment Association could find donors for the remaining $1.5 million.
The Association received a pledge of $1 million from a private donor and is still looking for $500,000, but Shulenburger decided to form the committee just before winter break anyway.
"In most cases we don't form a build
ing committee until funding is identified," Shulenburger said. "But in this case it was so important we felt we had to."
The committee has until March 1 to complete a building plan. Bell said she didn't think it would be difficult to meet that deadline. She has folders and binders bulging with with plans already. Bell is part of a MRC task force formed during Jonathan Ng's term as student body president.

Bars concern city officials
By Laura Pate

The number of bars in downtown Lawrence is growing and that scares some Lawrence city commissioners and residents.
Twenty-seven of today's drinking establishments existed in downtown Lawrence in 1994. Now, the total number is 44, said Lisa Patterson, communications coordinator for the commission.
That increase has some commissioners concerned. David Schauer, Lawrence
city commissioner, said the increase in drinking establishments could drive out retail establishments. He said the number of retail stores in downtown Lawrence had decreased by 50 stores in the last 20 years. He expressed a desire for balance among retail and drinking establishments.
"I don't want to three years from now see 60 drinking establishments and say at some point we crossed the line," Schauner said. "I don't think we will know when we crossed the line."

In 1994, the Lawrence City Commission established an ordinance to curb the increase of drinking establish-
The BrewHawk, 733 Massachusetts St., earned 56.3 percent of its profits from non-alcohol sales this period. But because 5 percent of those sales were from cigarettes and not food, the BrewHawk did not meet the requirements of the ordinance and the business was placed on probation. This is the second time the city has cited the BrewHawk.

University lobbyist leaves for D.C. post
By Anna Clovis aclovis@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
two and a half years after becoming the first executive vice chancellor for university relations, Janet Murguia is leaving the University of Kansas.
Murguia came to the University in 2001 after working in Washington D.C., for 14 years. Murguia became the first executive vice chancellor for university relations after the restructuring of the university relations department. A native of Kansas City, Kan., she has two bachelor's degrees and a law degree from the University.
Effective in March, Murguia will be the executive director and chief operating officer of the National Council of La Raza, the nation's largest public policy advocacy group for Hispanic Americans.
Murguia said she would continue to be an advocate for the University after she leaves.
"It is hard to leave," Murguia said. "I have a passion for higher education, but I have an equal passion for the Hispanic
community and the issues that they face."

that unites all of the KU campuses. She was also proud of increasing the percentage of diversity on campus and helping the University in Topeka during times of decreased funding.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway named Kevin Boatright to fill Murgula's position on an interim basis. Boatright, formerly the associate executive vice chancellor for university relations under Murguia, said he did not view his role as a caretaker for the position.
Murguia said her decision to leave was not because she was yearning to get back to Washington D.C., but because the opening at the council was put on an earlier time track and was an opportunity she could not miss.
P. A. P.
"We're not grinding to a halt, and we're not heading off in a radically different direction," Boatright said. "The two themes will be continuity and connecting with faculty."
Boatright said the department would be shorthanded for the time being, but would focus on priorities such as the upcoming integrated marketing communication effort.
Boatright will also take over Murguia's role in lobbying for the University. With her departure coming during the beginning of the legislative session,

Variety show at Union to start second semester with laughs
Various student groups have combined efforts to entertain returning students tonight with a comedy and magic show called Friday Night Live.
The show will begin at 9 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom and will feature comedian Amy Anderson, magician Brian Brushwood and a student joke contest with a $300 first prize.
The event is sponsored by The Association of University Residence Halls, Hawk Nights, Student Senate, Student Union Activities and Coke.
Rachel Hurlbert, Union Programs Assistant, said the event had drawn 300 to 400 students in the past and she expected another good turnout.
"This year, with the long break, we think people will be anxious to come here and see their friends," Hurlbert said.
Hurlbert said Brushwood, who has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, had changed earlier plans so he could attend the event and he would perform new material.

SLAB to sponsor lunch for students and legislators
The Student Legislative Awareness Board has arranged a luncheon for students and state legislators Monday at the State Capitol in Topeka.
The event is open to all students and is free, with the lunches donated by the Kansas Union. Buses will leave from the Union at 11:15 a.m.
The buses will leave Topeka at 5 p.m. after legislative committee meetings.
Blake Shuart. Student Legislative Awareness Board Director, said students were encouraged to stay after the luncheon to visit with their state representatives and attend a Higher Education Committee meeting. He said students were welcome to drive separately if they wanted to attend the luncheon only.
Shuart said at least 10 to 15 legislators would attend the luncheon and he hoped for about 20.
Topics for discussion at the luncheon will include Governor Kathleen Sebelius' proposed 3 percent increase to the state's higher education budget.
Students should contact the Student Senate office if they are interested in attending.

KU graduates ranked second in aerospace competition
Six University of Kansas aerospace engineering graduates won second place in the national 2002-2003 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics student design competition. University Relations announced Tuesday.
The May 2003 graduates won a $1,500 team award for an ultra-heavy-lift platform aircraft called the KUMODO dragon.
Annie Bernetby/Kansas
Jan Roskam, retired professor of aerospace engineering, advised the team, whose design was capable of transporting 1.2 million pounds.
In the past 21 years, Roskam's teams have earned 26 first-place prizes and 13 second-place awards in AIAA national contests.
Mark Ewing, chairman of aerospace engineering, said this could result in a lot of pressure on the students.
"We pretty much expect our teams to get first or second place in these competitions, and they usually do," Ewing said.
The team prepared the design as part of a senior undergraduate class activity during the Spring 2003 semester, and awards were announced in Fall 2003.
The nonprofit AIAA Foundation sponsors the contests to recognize excellence in aerospace engineering studies as well as to increase the practical skills of students.

Organizers hope for better King Day turnout next year
By Jodie Kraftt
jkraftt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Unlike past years, when the University of Kansas organized additional events to honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day, only one community celebration was held this year.
The Rev. William Dulin, MLK planning committee chairman, said factors such as cold temperatures and winter break caused low attendance numbers. About 350 people attended this year's event at the Lied Center compared to about 850 last year. The event's sponsored included the Ecumenical Fellowship, Inc., the University, Haskell Indian Nations University, city of Lawrence, Lawrence public schools and the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
Kansas football coach Mark
Mangino spoke at the annual banquet Saturday, followed by a gospel music concert Sunday and a service with keynote speaker Lisa Miree, Miss Black USA, at the Lied Center on Monday.
Tony Daniels, associate director at the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said timing was the main reason why the University didn't have its own celebration. Because the majority of students didn't return to Lawrence until this week, there was a lack of volunteers to help at events.
Kriston Guillot, Shawnee sophomore, was one the 350 people who attended the Lied Center event as a participant and volunteer. Guillot said King's vision of celebrating diversity and understanding one another extended beyond a single holiday.

Daniels said the University agreed to support the main community event this year, but there should also be campus events in the future.

Regents postpone their decision on classified employees
By Ron Knox
rknox@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas classified employees will now wait for at least a month as the Board of Regents mulls over their bid to change from the state's payroll to the University's.
The Regents temporarily set aside the classified employees' request last week to allow time to discuss the far-reaching changes the move would bring about, said Kip Peterson, public relations director for the Regents.
"The Regents didn't raise any concrete objections, but they had several additional questions," Peterson said.
With 54 percent in favor, classified employees voted in October to make the University their employer.
The Regents raised questions about the precedent the decision would set for other civil service employees at Kansas universities, questions that they will try to answer within the month.
And the Regents aren't the only ones with questions. The Kansas Association of Public Employees, the largest civil service union in the state, petitioned the Legislature last week to deny the Senate's Jan. 8 request for removal from the payroll.
Andy Sanchez, executive director of KAPE, said the change in employer would breach the classified employees' civil service duties and endanger their classified status.
"They're not classified, but they say they're still classified," Sanchez said. "They're going to be a different kind of animal, but nobody knows what it is."
"They're not classified, but they say their still classified."
With the change, the University would supervise the duties of its civil service employees without state supervision to ensure objective input.
Andy Sanchez executive director of KAPE
Without state supervision Sanchez said classified employees who the University administration regulated would falter in their ability to objectively perform their jobs, which range from operations monitoring to policing the campus.
The KU classified employees who voted for the change claimed their duties will not be altered, said Kathy Jansen, president of Classified Senate, the representative body of the classified employees
The change in employer would also change the way KU classified employees received their annual, or step, raises.
"We are not anti-union or labor." Jansen said. "We are not lackeys of the administration."
For years, Kansas allocated state employees an annual 2.5 percent step in salary. Since former Gov Bill Graves froze the increases three years ago, civil service employees have not received a raise.
At the same time, non-civil service employees have received raises based on the University instead of the state budget.
The University receives allocated money from the state to pay employees. With KU administrators signing classified employees' paychecks, it would assure some
annual raise in salary.
If the administration handled the raises, it would close off the process from external supervision. Sanchez said.
Under the new policy outlined in a Classified Senate proposal distributed to the Regents, a portion of the wage increase would be based on job performance and subject to evaluative procedures, the same as unclassified employees and faculty.
According to the proposal, two-thirds of the step increase would be based on satisfactory performance, the other third revolves around above average job performance, which will be evaluated by administrators.
The new raise guidelines concerned some classified employees, especially those who were also members of KAPE, Jansen said.
"Of course there's the concern
that 'my supervisor doesn't like me as much as the brown-nose sitting next to me." Jansen said. "That's to be expected."
Jansen said she thought uniform evaluatory procedures and oversight of the evaluations would quell any concerns or inconsistencies.
So could the extra money they receive. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius allocated a 3-percent increase for state employees next fiscal year, which begins this July.
But with University money, unclassified staff and faculty could receive raises of 5 and 6 percent, respectively, said Lindy Eakin, vice provost of administration and finance.
"That's quite a difference for the classified employees," Eakin said.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Missouri needs a lesson in pride; no problem here
Last week, Missouri Chancellor Richard Wallace told a group of Big 12 professors that he wanted to tone down the Kansas-Missouri rivalry, and invited Chancellor Robert Hemenway to "smoke a peace pipe."
Wallace's proposal came in the wake of a Jan. 10 incident in Columbia, Mo., where a scuffle followed the Kansas women's basketball team's 55-52 victory. The fracas resulted in one-game suspensions for three Kansas and two Missouri players.
Kansas-Missouri is one of the longestrunning rivalries in all of college sports. The football series between the two schools has been played for more than a century.
Wallace's words and proposal are futile attempts to control a rivalry that should instead be celebrated.
More importantly, Kansas vs. Missouri is one of the few rivalries that has deeper roots than two schools disliking each other. As almost every Kansan knows, a band of Missourian guerillas burned down the city of Lawrence during the

town at five o'clock in the morning, and we had no notice of their coming until they'commenced shooting everyone they
saw and setting fire to the buildings."
This background gives both schools a proud rivalry with a unique sense of history. Former Kansas football coach Don Fambrough used to psyche his team up before the Missouri game by telling them the story of the game and closing with a claim that Quantrill was a Missouri graduate. Alumni remember their victories fondly, as will those who stormed the field in September.
We do agree with Wallace that a heated rivalry is no excuse for the altercation in Columbia or that the yelling he had heard of obscenities he said he has seen in the Hearns Center stands. But those problems don't require a "peace pipe." Missouri's notorious fans taunt the opposition, bring off-color signs to games and publicize Kansas players' home phone numbers. Missouri should control its own fans before making any overtures to other schools.
An old adage should be our University's simple response to Chancellor Wallace's pleas: those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

I would like to thank the good-looking female joggers who wear bright colors around campus. It makes you that much easier to spot.

PERSPECTIVE
'Kansan' marks 100th anniversary, celebrates tradition of independence
In what would become known as The University Daily Kansan, the top headline declared that students demanded an independent semi-weekly newspaper.
That was Sept. 17, 1904—almost 100 years ago.
What was then called the Semi-Weekly Kansan soon became simply the Kansan. One hundred years later, the student newspaper of the University of Kansas still proudly publishes under that moniker, and students at the University still read it for the campus news, sports and editorial insight.
COMMENTARY
Here at the Kansan, we'd like to mark this year as a celebration of 100 years of history and tradition. For nearly a century, the Kansan has not just reported on important events in the University's history. The Kansan is also a part of those events because of the way student journalists captured history and shared those stories with the University community.
University Archives manages the Kansan archives, including the first issue. The premiere issue, now yellowed and fragile, was a four-page broadsheet that featured stories about the first interfraternity debates and an advertisement for Weaver's Department Store.

Volumes of the Kansan, mostly archived on microfilm, chronicle our University's history. Famous front pages captured national championships, the impeachment of a student body president and firings and hirings of administrators. Every issue of the Kansan is an invaluable resource for the University, said Becky Schulte, university archivist. The Kansan is a popular primary source for those who want to research University history or student life, she said.
Henry Fortunato, project director of the KU History Galleries at the Kansas Union and online at www.kuhistory.com, said the Kansan was an important source when he and others are working on the project
Because of features such as the opinion page, the Kansan is more than a source of history; it also provides a glimpse of student opinion and perspective.
"The Kansan not only reported events, but was a part of them." he said.
Frank Strong, chancellor from 1902 to 1920, recognized the importance of a student publication when he backed the newspaper at its inception and in 1912, when it became The University Daily Kansan.
The Kansan, Hemenway said, has a history of recording University events, but also has been known to help make changes at the University.
Now, 100 years later, Chancellor Robert Hemenway reads the Kansan every weekday morning.
"The Kansan has argued for various improvements over the years — most of which have probably been adopted," he said. "There's been a series of people who I think have covered the University and helped to make it better."
"The Kansan gives us the account of what is going on at the institution, and I think it is a pretty successful tradition," he said.
This year, as The University Daily
Kansan recognizes 100 years of publication and tradition, we will be reprinting pieces of history from our archives daily on the second page of the newspaper.
The Kansan has been a part of the University for almost a century. For generations, our student newspaper has been reporting important historic events.
In 100 years, this issue, too, will be an artifact and testimony to the lives of students at the University of Kansas in the 21st century. Historians will read our stories about Janet Murgia leaving her post as executive vice chancellor for university relations. One hundred years from now, they'll read about the Kansas-Missouri rivalry that by that time will be two centuries old and probably will be just as fervent as ever.
They'll realize how much the University has changed and how much it has stayed the same.
Without the Kansan's publication, the University community would be without a record of history and a student voice.

PERSPECTIVE
Opinion page to take on new faces, voices; don't miss opportunity to include yours
We're stirring things up.
The opinion page will, as always, remain a place for discussion and debate among students, faculty and alumni of the University of Kansas. But to do this better, we're adding new elements. Each of these additions is meant to enhance the page for you, the reader.
With a new layout,new editors and some wild new ideas,we hope to add some color to your semester.
Regular columnists will be the first change you see. Each week you will be hearing from a few voices from across campus. These are students who have come to us with something to say. Some are familiar voices on politics, and a new voice will bring a little insight to Student Senate. Another is a graduate student who teaches a packed class in American Studies, and one is a Wescoe beach regular with some racial issues to discuss.
COMMENTARY
We want you to get to know these writers. They are addressing topics and problems that they see at the University and that they think you should notice.

also changed the opinion page. A 15-member class will now work with the columnists and the editorial board to broaden the the range of topics and enhance the writing. Before, the members of the editorial board would meet twice weekly to discuss and write the editorials. The board meetings continue, but the opinion class members will now be involved in the discussions. They will compile the opinions of the entire board on a topic, research it and write the editorial. The class members will also contribute columns. We hope by adding more columnists there will be a wider

range of interests covered.
That being said, we will strive to cover politics on national and local levels. This election is unusual. With the number of democratic candidates and the political upsets, it is impossible to not to focus on the democratic primary. We will be researching and taking comments about the political candidates to run a profile of each candidate before the Kansas caucus. In this series, we will explain voting in the Kansas caucus. Start thinking now. If you have information to contribute about the candidates, please let us know.
Here at the University, student senate elections are coming up. You can expect candidate information and endorsements. And if you don't care at all about these elections, we will try to give you a reason to care.
All these changes are for you, the reader. We are devoted to continually improving the opinion page, but we can't do it without your input. This is one of the most important pages in the newspaper. It is the place where you can comment on the news and draw attention to what hasn't been said. You can give us your feedback in several ways. Call free for all, if you have little time. Write a column if you have enough time. Send us letters and e-mails. The public needs to hear from you.
When you have had an opportunity to take in all the new changes, let us know what you think works and what doesn't. We can't represent everyone, but we will do our best.
The Kansan is a perfect place to say something new. At worst, no one listens, but at best, you make a change. Our opinion is that this is the best time to take that risk.
Aseditors of an opinion page, our goal is to provide a forum for you. On this page, you can be the reader, the reporter and the source of ideas. Take advantage of your opportunity.

Stickers prove effective in keeping windows closed
By Azita Tafreshi
atafreshi@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Money talks, and residence hall members at the University of Kansas are listening.
When resident assistants inspected the warning stickers on residence hall windows for signs of tampering for the first time at the beginning of winter break, they did not find any stickers that constituted a violation. Residents who had ripped or removed the sticker would have been charged a $125 fine.
The Department of Student Housing issued the stickers in late October and early November in response to the death of Eric Wellhausen. The Mt. Prospect, Ill., freshman died on Sept. 12 2003, after falling a ledge below his window ledge on the seventh floor of Oliver Hall.
The stickers were designed to identify whether residents had removed their window screens. One sticker, on the window itself, warns students to leave screens in place, while a smaller, tamper-evident sticker is affixed between the screen and the windowsill.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said for the most part the policy has worked and the stickers haven't been tampered with
"We're very pleased with the cooperation we've received from the students." Stoner said.
Amanda Beasley, Leawood freshman, said she thought the prospect of paying a fine had effectively discouraged students from removing their screens. "If you have to pay $125 to replace a sticker, then I think you're going to be more thoughtful about taking it off," Beasley said.
Ben Heath, Overland Park junior, said it's a good policy for safety reasons, but the sticker could be removed and reapplied easily.
recommended.
"If it was on the outside, maybe then people couldn't really get it off, but since they're on the inside people can mess with them," Heath said.
Catelyn Carter said she and her roommate had been concerned about the fine, but not because they had intentionally removed their sticker. When condensation from cold weather built up on the Leawood freshman's window, her sticker became loose.
"Until they get a sticker that actually sticks, it seems pointless to do these inspections," Carter said.
these inspections, Stoner said there had been no problems with residents removing the warning stickers, but in some cases the weather has had an effect on the tamper-evident stickers attached to the screens. The Department is investigating alternative sticker manufacturers.
"We attempted to get bumper sticker-type stickers," Stoner said. "We may have to swap those out for something more durable."
Stoner said the department will continue to monitor the situation while looking for a higher-quality material. He said the sticker inspections are a permanent addition to the check-in and check-out procedures resident assistants conduct with their residents. The next inspection will take place when the residence halls close for spring break.
"Now, since the weather's cold people aren't taking them off," Carter said. "I just really don't think there's been enough time to see if the policy is working."

Foundation trustee disputes William Allen White award

Kansan staff writer
This year's recipient of the William Allen White Foundation award has left a trustee member angry.
Robert H. Giles, curator of Harvard University's Nieman Foundation for Journalism, is a William Allen White trustee member. He does not believe Marlin Fitzwater, this year's award recipient, deserves the award, which is designated for an American journalist who lives up to the ideals of William Allen White.
"I thought it was totally inappropriate for him to be a candidate, let alone to be selected for the award," Giles said.
Fitzwater was a press secretary for President Reagan for almost a decade and then worked as a public relations strategist for President

"I hope that the voting trustees are more sensitized to the purpose of this award and will act accordingly to the nominating selection of this process," he said.

Carbon monoxide poisoning a risk
By Matthew Rodriguez
mrdriguelz@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Natalie Patrick, Lenexa senior, has asked her landlord to service her furnace several times during the past two years.
The 100-year-old gravity furnace has several cracked and unattached ducts sending heat through the house.
"It's like basically trying to heat the house with a camp fire," Patrick said.
Her landlord told her the furnace was maintained four years ago and to forget about it. But Patrick is afraid that her antique furnace might be leaking carbon monoxide throughout the house.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported the risk of indoor carbon
"When you go to shut the windows up because it's cold outside, that's when the carbon monoxide can accumulate."
John White Cloud Heating and Air Conditioning
monoxide poisoning increases during the winter season.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless combustion byproduct. Any fuel burning appliance can conceivably be a source of carbon monoxide, said John White, operations manager for Cloud Heating and Air Conditioning Inc., 920 E. 28th St.
"When you go to shut the windows up because it's cold outside, that's when the carbon monoxide can accumulate." White said.
The symptoms for carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to those associated with the flu: headaches, fatigue and vomiting. High exposure to carbon monoxide can result in death, said Rich Barr, Lawrence fire marshal.
"If you're feeling sick when you're in your home, but begin to feel better when you leave, you should leave the house and have a professional look at it," Barr said.
The fire department recommends that furnaces be inspected annually by qualified technicians.
"The best thing to do is buy a carbon monoxide detector and watch your health." Barr said.
Carbon monoxide detectors start around $30.
PREVENTING CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
Taking simple precautions can decrease the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning in your home or apartment.
— Edited by Danielle Hillix
Clean chimneys and furnaces once a year.
Look at the furnace pilot light. If it's a blue pilot light, it's a clean flame. An orange pilot light lacks combustion and is an indicator of carbon monoxide.
Choose vented appliances whenever possible.
Do not use ovens and gas ranges to heat your home.
Use kerosene space heaters and unvented gas heaters only in well-ventilated rooms.
Cosmosphere wants to take exhibits on road
The Associated Press
HUTCHINSON The Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center is putting together its first traveling exhibit, part of an effort to expand its educational mission and capitalize on renewed interest in the space program.
The exhibit, called "We Choose to Go to the Moon," will chronicle the race to the moon between the United States and Soviet Union, said Jim Remar, vice president of museum operations.
The traveling exhibit will include nearly 100 items, including full-scale replicas of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo spacecraft, personal equipment from Russian and American missions and a 29-foot-tall replica of a lunar module.
Although the design of the exhibit is final, it won't be built until another museum agrees to host it, Remar said, adding that the exhibit will require at least 8,000 square feet of exhibition space.
Remar said the exhibit was designed to take the visitor through the launching of the Soviet satellite Sputnik to the American lunar landings.
"The race to the moon captured the imagination and enthusiasm of two nations," Remar said. "They threw in their entire country's resources to capture an advantage to get to the moon first."

The exhibit is being marketed to museums in mid-sized and major cities, said Betty Simecka, vice president of marketing for Sunflower Exhibitions, the company promoting the exhibit.

Winter break delays business profits
By Steve Vockrodt
svockrodt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
While students stayed at home and, relaxed for an extra week on the extended winter break, some Lawrence businesses could hardly wait for their return.
This year's spring semester starts a week later than the University's typical start date, which precedes Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The delayed start left business owners like The Wheel's Rob Farha with little to do until the students came back.
"It definitely affects us, we close when students are gone," Farha said.
Farha said he opened The Wheel, 507 W.14th St., for home basketball games during the break, but otherwise it remained closed. Last weekend, Farha experimented with opening Thursday through Saturday, but
did not get much volume.
In addition to the scarcity of customers, Farha said he found it difficult to schedule employees for evenings The Wheel was operating.
Other businesses also noticed the effect of students staying out of town. Abe and Jake's Landing, at 8 E. Sixth St., experienced slower business.
"It's a week of less traffic and in the service industry, you can tell," general manager Mike Logan said.
Logan said he used the downtime to work on building upkeep and prepare for the students' return. Abe and Jake's also booked private parties during the extended break to help offset the slow business. The bar did not change its hours of operation.
Logan said he saw steady increases in volume as the semester starting date approached.
were getting restless and getting back to town."
"Last weekend was pretty good," Logan said. "Students
Local coffee shops did not change business hours, but noticed fewer students made for slower business. Molly Murphy, employee at Henry's, 11 E. Eight St., said the daytime was unaffected, but evenings were less crowded.
"We're more of a summertime bar anyway." Sullivan said.
"It doesn't affect my shift as much," Murphy said, "but it affects the evening shift more, after four or five when more students come in."
Some locations reported no noticeable effect on their business. Matt Sullivan, an employee at Replay Lounge on 946 Massachusetts St., said customer volume remained steady for the most part during break.
Replay Lounge also relies on a niche of customers for its business, said Sullivan.
Most locations that rely heavily on students said the changing school calendar makes business more complicated. In the past few years, the University has added a fall break, a Wednesday off before Thanksgiving and now a longer holiday break.
"I'm not a fan of fall break, it causes me to lose a weekend and now this week causes me to lose another weekend," Farha said.
The extended school break comes as part of a 12-year calendar cycle approved by the Board of Regents. The variance of holidays like Martin Luther King Jr. Day as well as the relationship between Memorial Day and graduation day force an extra week. This year, which is a leap year, also plays a part, according to Marjorie Swann, calendar committee member.

MRC: Need outweighs costs
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Bell became the head of the task force this year and has been compiling the group's ideas for the time when she could hand them over to a building committee. She initially expected the building committee to begin work in September. She said she thought it would be easier to raise the remaining funds for the project now, that a building committee had been formed.
"With the bureaucracy of a University it takes a long time for a building to be approved," Bell said. "I think the catalyst was an increase in cooperation between students, administrators and Endowment."
Santos Nunez, MRC program director and a member of the building committee, said the need for a new, larger center was becoming more critical every semester. Nunez has seen a steady increase in program participation amongst all students, not only minorities, and that the current center could
not meet students' needs.
"A few times we've had programs where we had to turn people away because we didn't have enough chairs or even floor space," Nunez said.
Aside from more space, Nufez said the new center was needed to provide a more convenient location and accessibility for people with limited mobility. She also hoped it would include some amenities the current center lacked, like central heating and air conditioning and a classroom wired to the Internet.
Johnson said the committee would create a plan for a state-of-the-art facility by March 1. But he won't know when the MRC will physically begin to take shape until his committee can meet and decide.
"We'd love to be breaking ground before the end of the semester, but we still don't know whether that will be possible," Johnson said.
BARS: Bars say they have a role downtown
—Edited by Ashley Arnold
CONTINUED FROM 1A
The BrewHawk met its first probationary guideline, and Frank Tarantino, the business owner, said he felt that the commissioners were treating his establishment and other alcohol vendors unfairly.
"Four of the five councilmen have have an anti-business, utopian vision of downtown Lawrence that would probably destroy Lawrence," Tarantino said. "They want the mom and pop businesses, and they don't understand that you need a nice mix like this."
Shane Norris, Leavenworth senior, said he would be very upset if BrewHawk lost its liquor license. Norris began visiting the BrewHawk when it first opened in September 2003 and visits four times a week.
"It's one of the most laid-back places you can walk into," Norris said. "Some other bars are snooty, some of the upstairs places."
It is also safer to have all bars in a concentrated area, Norris said.
driving around town getting out-of-their-mind drunk," Norris said.
"It's better than having people
But Schauner worries that having so many drinking establishments downtown will drive away retail businesses. Alcohol venders drive up property values, making it hard for retail businesses to move in, Schauner said. If this cycle continues, it could change the face of downtown.
Adam Smith, St. Louis junior, sips a beer while concentrating on a video game at the BrewHawk on Wednesday, Jan. 21. The BrewHawk is on a three-month probation period installed by the Lawrence City Commission.
"The incoming freshman class of 2010 will want to see a downtown Lawrence that looks like it does today, with GAP, Liberty Hall, Pizza Hut . . . I think we owe it to the class of 2010 to keep that balance and not let it get out of whack." Schauer said.
Downtown businesses are divided on the issue.
Nolan Washatka, assistant general manager at Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St., said that bars were not harming retail business.
"A lot of window shopping wouldn't happen without the evening entertainment," Washatka said. "There's room for both businesses because it keeps downtown open from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. instead of from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m."
Jenni Dwyer, manager of Francis Sporting Goods, 731 Massachusetts St., would rather see a bar move in next door than a retail store, especially a competitor in sporting goods, she said. Francis Sporting Goods is located next to BrewHawk and the former building that housed The Library, a bar. Dwyer said that it was better to have any kind of business next door than to have a vacant building.
"When you've got drunken
Still, Dwyer said Brown Bear Brewing Company, 729 Massachusetts St., seemed to create problems when it was on the other side of her building, Brown Bear opened in 1995 and changed its name to The Library in January of 2003. On KU's Fall Stop Day in 2003, some patrons of Brown Bear removed a stairway from the back of the building, she said. In February of 2003 someone was thrown through a window of Brown Bear.
Carol Buhler-Francis, the owner of the building which houses Brown Bear and Francis Sporting Goods, said that she would never again allow a bar or restaurant to rent out her property.
people walking up and down the street, urinating and breaking windows, it's not encouraging for people to come downtown,"
Bubler-Francis said.
The city commissioners planned a February study session to reassess the 1994 ordinance.
No further action on the matter will be taken until that time.

Nathan Smith, Hays freshman, Andy Hoef, St. Louis freshman, Sean Heiling, Lenexa freshman, and Nick Degner, Wichita freshman, watched the president's State of the Union speech Tuesday night in Templin Hall.
Speech causes reaction
By Patrick Cady
pcady@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Reactions varied to President George W. Bush's first big step into the 2004 election process.
Democrats think Bush may be assuming a slight character shift, said Tom Keating, Marysville junior and president of KU Young Democrats.
"I think he's trying to make himself look like a compassionate conservative by coming back towards the middle," Keating said.
Keating's thoughts are some of many that were heard in Lawrence during the aftermath of the speech that touted support for a continued tax lift, confidence in the War on Terror and more drug testing in the public school system. The thoughts that Bush inspired after the speech were almost as varied as the ways people chose to hear the speech.
Justin McFarland, Lenexa junior and president of KU College Republicans, watched the
speech with his fiancee.
"I thought he did a real good job," McFarland said. "Overall though, I thought some things could have been left out, but I think he gave a good State of the Union."
Due to the winter break, none of the major political groups on campus held watch parties, but that didn't stop other groups from gathering to hear Bush speak.
At the Sunflower House Student Housing Cooperative, 1406 Tennessee St., six people huddled in a downstairs television room and quipped at the president.
"I actually watched it this year," Scott Johnson, Basehor senior and Sunflower House resident, said. "I was very entertained watching with people who were constantly making fun of him."
On another side of town, a party led by the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice celebrated what it called a "Sorry Ass State of The Union." It was a way to begin the new year on a positive and satirical note, the group said. According to the Web
site www.lawrenencm.org, the party had a dessert bar, party games such as "half truth bingo" and a sing-a-long led by the New World Order Peace Choir.
David Burress, an associate scientist of economics, was the party's host. His biggest complaint of the speech was Bush's lack of focus on the economy, specifically the deficit, he said.
"We boated at the acceptable places." Burress said.
Even some on the right end of the political spectrum found parts of the address entertaining.
"I loved the disconsolate look on Ted Kennedy's face," McFarland said. "It was also fun to see Hillary Clinton roll her eyes back."
Despite the momentary bright spots and flashes of entertainment, Bush's speech still left a bitter taste in some Democrats' mouths.
"It was hard watching the speech," Keating said. "I don't think he's running the country, I think he's taking advantage of it."
RESTATE OF THE UNION
- Edited by Danielle Hillix
A day after the first major Democratic caucus of the year, President George W. Bush delivered his State of the Union address Tuesday evening. In case you missed it, here are some highlights. President Bush:
- Urged people to realize the War on Terror is not over and the American people must remain vigilant.
Asked Congress for continued support and renewal of the Patriot Act
Urged continuation of the tax cut program.
Emphasized Saddam Hussein's capture and continued success in Iraq.
Called Iran and North Korea the "most dangerous regimes," in the world.
Emphasized an economy gaining strength, and a deficit to be cut in half within five years.
Urged Congress for continued support for the No Child Left Behind program and proposed stronger drug testing measures in schools.
Proposed social security reform, and a possible tax-free personal health fund.
Said marriage cannot be redefined to include gay marriage.
Supported private health care and modernizing of the health care system.
Proposed a revamped prisoner re-entry program

Environmental studies moves in
By Samia Khan
skhan@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Environmental Studies program finally has a stable home. During winter break the department, which has had two different locations in the past decade, moved its offices to 415 Snow Hall.
The program moved from the basement of Haworth Hall to Burton House on 14th Street next to The Wheel in 1995.
"Before those years the Environmental Studies program existed in labs, back rooms and boxes," said Deborah Snyder, administrative assistant.
In the Burton House, the program lived up to its name by incorporating discarded and reused products. Everything except the computers were found in the trash, from state surplus or thrift stores.
The program continues that tradition at a new office in Snow Hall. Instead of asking for new materials, the office used existing ones to remodel.
"We weren't ripping everything up and throwing it in the trash. We carefully removed it and put it in a new location," Snuder said.
Construction workers disassembled the wood from the walls and reused it according to the new floor plans. The department purchased a stately wood desk for the new director of the program for $300 from state surplus.
The remodeling cost approximately $3,000, which was $2,000 under the estimate. The extra resources were enough to put in a kitchen, featuring small appliances and a refrigerator that would have been thrown out.
Snyder said she wanted to organize the space efficiently.
A room with windows that was one used for storage is now a twoperson office.
"It's so easy to get lost at KU. But it's nice to come talk to office staff they will know what they're talking about and be able to help you."
Isabel Anheier
Olsthe junior
"I couldn't believe that it was a storage room with windows. Do you know how precious windows are to the faculty and staff on campus?" Snwer said.
Students working in the office devoted their break to help the program move. Isabel Anheier, Olathe junior, and Adnan Chaudhry, graduate student from Pakistan, were two of the students who helped with the relocation.
The students said they felt the department took care of them, so they didn't question offering their time to help. Snyder said the department has many students who care because the office orients itself toward the students and their concerns.
"It's so easy to get lost at KU. But it's nice to come talk to office staff — they will know what they're talking about and be able to help you," Anheier said.
After graduating in December Chaudhry chose to stay in Lawrence and pursue his graduate degree in Engineering. He said working in the Environmental Studies offices was one of the big reasons he chose to stay.
"It's like a home, not an office. It's really different here," Chaudhry said.

Meritscholar recruitment declines
National Merit enrollment at the University of Kansas
Actual number of merit scholars 1990 - 2003
The decrease in National Merit Scholars this year is due to a drop in out-of-state National Merit Scholars. The University's administration changed the scholarship available to out-of-state scholars enrolling in Fall 2003 to $10,000 a year. With current tuition rates, out-of-state tuition for 15 credit hours is $11,500.

Special to the Kansas
When Bill Cross, Kansas City, Mo., junior, was deciding where to go to college two main features made him consider the University of Kansas: it was close to home and was offering to pay nearly all his expenses.
"I had thought about it my whole life because I was a KU sports fan and my mom went to KU," said Cross, who is a Kansan science writer. "But getting national merit to come here essentially for free was really the deciding factor."
News Now.
That deciding factor is no longer what it once was for out-of-state scholars. The University changed the scholarship available for out-of-state students entering this fall. Instead of receiving full tuition and fees plus an additional housing allowance, this fall's merit scholars received a $10,000 renewable scholarship each year.
This change has complicated the scholarship decision of Cross' younger brother, who is also a National Merit Finalist and a senior in high school.
"I think he was pretty set on KU until he found out they changed the scholarship money," Cross said.
If this year's class of new merit scholars is an indicator, Cross' younger brother and other out-of-state merit scholars won't be coming to the University.
An average of 106 merit scholars per year had enrolled at the University since 2000, but this fall only 49 new scholars enrolled. The drop in numbers is because of fewer out-of-state students. While the University enrolled 65 out-of-state merit scholars last year, the University attracted only four this fall.
"Before it was very attractive for them to come to KU and have their tuition and fees covered," Lisa Pinamonti, director of admissions and scholarships, said.
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, senior vice provost, said the administration and the Office of Admissions and Scholarships were not surprised by the low national merit numbers this year.
Those ramifications include losing ground in national rankings
"We made the decision jointly, and we knew the ramifications," she said.
The University was in the top 10 of public universities attracting merit scholars for four of the past five years. US News and World Report also uses the number of merit scholars as one factor in determining the top public universities.
In conjunction with breaking into the US News "Top 25 public universities". Chancellor Robert Hemenway announced in 1995 his goal of recruiting 100 merit scholars by the year 2000.
The University did not achieve
the chancellor's goal of being a top 25 public university, but did surpass his goal of recruiting merit scholars.
"We felt like we had declared victory and then decided we could move a lot more of our resources in-state." McCluskey-Fawcett said.
McCluskey-Fawcett said the administration made its decision to provide less money to out-of-state merit scholars in order to focus more money on Kansas students.
"We are trying to keep the best and brightest in the state," McCluskey-Fawcett said.
Pinamonti said she thought the administration re-evaluated the use of scholarship money because the University wasn't increasing the amount it had to award.
"It was a lot more expensive to offer renewable scholarships for out-of-state students," she said.
Pinamonti said the reason for this was that out-of-state tuition is more expensive, and will continue to grow with future tuition increases.
The total of the in-state package for National Merit Finalists is less than the $10,000 offered to out-ofstate students, even with tuition, fees and housing included.
Pinamonti said the change in the scholarship had affected the way the University's Office of Admissions and Scholarships recruits
Gail Sherron associate director of scholarships and admissions
"There are families out there that really cannot afford college. They will go only to those schools where you get the best package."
out-of-state merit scholars.
"We are still contacting them, but we focus now more on the Kansas students," she said.
Gail Sherron
Pinamonti said her office would like to increase the enrollment of Kansas merit scholars from the University's average of 45 to 50 to about 60 per year.
Despite the decreased award, Gail Sherron, associate director of scholarships and admissions, said there was still a consistent level of interest from out-of-state scholars. She said the final decision often came down to money available.
"There are families out there that really cannot afford college. They will go only to those schools where you get the best package," she said.
The change in available scholarship packages has shifted the University's recruiting attention away from out-of-state scholars.
"There is just no physical way
to spend enough attention on all 15,000 names we receive," Sherron said.
She said her office now focuses on the smaller pool of Kansas applicants. Doing so allows more personal contact with national merit recruits but less with those from other states.
Lainey Ahillen, St. Louis senior, said contact with University recruiters was one of the reasons she chose to come here.
"They mailed me a ridiculous amount of stuff and called me a lot," she said.
Ahillen said without the calls from recruiters, she would not have even thought about the University as one of her college options.
"Until I visited I was treating it as an afterthought, but then they wouldn't let me pass it up," Ahillen said.
She said she thought a decrease in recruiting out-of-state students would have as much of an impact on the school's numbers as changing the scholarship. She also said she held a realistic view of the school's emphasis on numbers.
"The chancellor wanted to go up in rankings, and I'm a good statistic," Ahillen. "They ran into budget trouble and it was an easy thing to cut."

China provides insight into culture
By Marc Ingber
mingber@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Eric Garrett, Eudora senior and owner of K-10 Fireworks, got to see the place where about 90 percent of the fireworks he sells are made. And he only had to travel halfway across the world.
Garrett, whose store is just east of Lawrence, went to China over winter break along with seven other University of Kansas students.
The students made the trip through the Kansas/Asia Scholars program and have come home with a greater understanding of Asian culture. They returned from their three-week excursion last Saturday. This was the first year that the program sent students to China.
The students left on Dec. 27 to
visit Beijing, Zhengzhou, Changsha, Chengdu and Shanghai, where they learned about how China's businesses were affected by the country's switch to a market economy. The group also visited historical sites like the Great Wall of China and a Shaolin monastery, as well as museums.
"It was very successful," Garrett said. "We learned about the culture in China and about how hard it is to get a business established there."
Sheree Willis, Kansas/Asia Scholarsdirector of the China program, accompanied the students on the trip.
"They got to see how diverse and dynamic China is," Willis said. "Highlights included visiting an orphanage, seeing Butler Manufacturing in Shanghai, going to the Great Wall on New Year's Day and
"I could tell the kids were kind of nervous at first, but by the end, they didn't want us to leave," he said.
Garrett said one of his favorite activities was visiting the orphanage.
seeing monkeys on Mount Emei."
The group also visited McDonald's China headquarters in Beijing to learn about how the corporation operates.
Although much of the trip focused on China's economy, the China program was open to more than just business majors. The Kansas/Asia Scholars Program is planning to return to China in May; 25 students will make the trip.
Following their return, students will participate in a service learning project related to their trip. This can include giving presentations at schools or businesses, or creating a Web page
Garrett plans to speak to an elementary school in Eudora.
about an interesting topic that they learned about in China.
"It's important that kids learn about China when they are younger because often times they are not exposed to that culture," he said. "Speaking to an elementary school will give me a chance to introduce it to them."
The group was originally supposed to visit China last spring, but the trip was delayed until December due to the SARS outbreak.
In addition to China, the Kansas/Asia Scholars Program sent students to visit Japan and Korea last spring. The program is funded by a $2 million grant by the Freeman Foundation of New York City and Stowe, Vt.

Democrats prepare for N.H. primary
The Associated Press
“It's an important moment,” said U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), trailing in the polls behind the other major contenders — Wesley Clark, John
MANCHESTER, N.H. — John Kerry bounced higher in the polls yesterday and Howard Dean struggled to regain his political balance as the Democratic presidential contenders campaigned their way into the final debate before New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary.
Edwards, Kerry and Dean.
U. S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) and Al Sharpton debated at Saint Anselm College, but the hall was set with two fewer places.
Former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun (D-Ill.) dropped out of the race last week and U.S. Rep. Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.) ended his candidacy on Tuesday after finishing fourth in the kickoff Iowa caucuses.
Kerry won the event, with Edwards a strong second and Dean well behind in third.
With five days remaining until
New Hampshire's primary, the contenders were looking to the next round of contests, as well.
Kerry picked up the support of a 34,000-member union local in Michigan.
After months spent clawing his way past his rivals in the pre-primary polls, Dean and his aides worked on a plan to quell the damage from the poor showing in Iowa and a memorably loud, armwaving post-caucus appearance in front of his supporters.
Clark said he supported a woman's right to have an abortion
"as modified by" a 1992 court case that allowed states to impose limited restrictions.
Edwards criticized Bush for his handling of Iraq, characterizing most of the nations with troops in Iraq as "window dressing" and adding that it was wrong of Bush to claim they were sharing much of the postwar responsibility.
Lieberman, the party's 2000 vice presidential contender, insisted that he would make the strongest challenger to Bush this fall.
Representatives of two Jewish groups who attended screenings of Mel Gibson's upcoming movie "The Passion of the Christ" said yesterday that it contained offensive stereotypes about the Jewish role in the crucifixion.
Groups angered by film
The American Jewish Committee said the movie "represents a disturbing setback" to relations between Jews and Christians.
Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, said the movie is an "unambiguous portrayal of Jews as being responsible for the death of Jesus."
Gibson, who directed, funded and co-scripted the film, has repeatedly denied that his movie maligns Jews.
Rabbit David Elcott, director of interreligious affairs for the American Jewish Committee, said he did not expect any violence against Jews as a result of the movie.
But he and Foxman feared it would generate ill will toward Jews, especially overseas, where anti-Semitism is on the rise.
The Associated Press
"The movie undermines the sense of community that has existed between Jews and Christians for decades." Elcott said.
The movie is scheduled to be released on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 25.

Abortion rights activists gather march on Washington for cause
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Tens of thousands of abortion protesters marched from the White House to the Supreme Court on Thursday to mark the 31st anniversary of the decision that established a woman's right to the procedure.
"Abortion kills more people than war," said 14-year-old Andrew Marshall, who traveled with his family and a Catholic youth group from McMurrey, Pa. "We're trying to win a war in America, it's a war to stop abortion."
The day of activism included events both for and against the court's 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade and began with a mass and anti-abortion rally attended by nearly
"Anti-choice zealots want to impose their views and theology on the rest of us, and that's just not right."
Gloria Feldt president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America
two-dozen Catholic bishops and a crowd of about 15,000, most of them teenagers.
"The theme of this day is human life and human dignity." Cardinal Justin F. Rigali, archbishop of Philadelphia, said before the rally.
A smaller group of abortion rights activists said they largely focused on lobbying on Capitol Hill for legislation to reverse limits on reproductive freedom imposed since 1973.
They planned their own march for reproductive rights on April 25.
"The right to life does not come from government, it comes from the creator of life," the president said by telephone from Roswell, N.M., where he was wrapping up a two-day trip.
Terry McAuliffe, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said abortion rights were at risk because of Bush's decisions, "from stacking the federal judiciary with anti-choice proponents, to executive orders, to regulations, to restrictive legislation and key political appointments."
"Anti-choice zealots want to impose their views and theology on the rest of us, and that's just not right," said Gloria Feldt, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
Outside the Supreme Court, Luana Stoltemberg, 43, of Davenport, Iowa, held the "regret" sign. She said abortions had contributed to her inability to have children when she wanted them. She later adopted.
"I've had three abortions, and that hurts women like me," she said. "It devastates us physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally."

Hemenway said the legislative team would have more work to do.
"KU has always known the importance of working with the legislature," Hemenway said. "We won't lose ground, but everyone will have to do a little more."
Hemenway said the University hired Kathy Damron, a legislative lobbyist and former staff member for U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) and former Kansas Gov. Mike Hayden, as a consultant to assist with the lobbying efforts.
Blake Shuart, Topeka senior and legislative director for Student Senate, is in charge of the student lobbying efforts at the capitol.
He said that Murguia's departure would not change the Student Legislative Awareness Board's approach for the semester.
"I don't think we will change much," Shuart said, "not that Janet Murgiaid didn't have an
affect on our work at the capitol, but we've been working on this for a while and are going to continue with our work."
Hemenway said after the legislative work was finished and the University's new marketing communications plan had been implemented, he would evaluate the qualifications needed for the executive vice chancellor position.
Murguia said a passion for higher education and the University would be good qualities for her successor to possess.
"It is important to have someone who will carry the banner of KU across the state, who will be a good spokesperson for the University." Murgia said.
Hemenway said the search for a new executive vice chancellor would begin in five or six months, toward the beginning of the next fiscal year.

SPIKE: Director sponsors film
C. S.A. also is a boldface, urgent answer to Cold Mountain and you could even say the likes of Gone with the Wind also," Lee said in a statement released at the festival.
Because of the controversial subject, Willmot said there were discussions about the film on buses and sidewalks among the moviegoers attending the festival.
For Willmott, C.S.A. has been a long time coming. The filmmaking process took more than three years because of lack of adequate funding. The film received grants from the National Black Consortium and various KU investors, but the shooting of C.S.A. had to be broken into many chunks because of the fundraising process.
"It was just shoot, raise more money, shoot, raise more money for a long time." Willmott said. "But it was good because we were able to
take the time to do it right."
More than 20 current and former KU students and professors including Matt Jacobson, cinematographer and associate professor of theatre and film, helped in the filmmaking process and traveled to Park City to view the movie. Willmott said that seeing their work on the big screen was a great payoff for their hard work.
John Sweets, interim department chair of theatre and film, said the film was giving students within the department the recognition they deserved.
"It's putting a face on KU that's going to do a world of good for the University." Sweets said.
Willmott said that he never really focused on the awards and that the showings at the festival were the true reward.
"The great thing about Sundance is it's changed everything for us," Willmott said. "It's taking Kansas filmmaking to a new level."

Accountant for Enron indicted
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Enron Corp.'s former top accountant was led away in handcuffs Thursday to face allegations he was "a principal architect" of the accounting scandal that caused the energy giant to collapse.
Richard Causey, 44, pleaded innocent to federal conspiracy and fraud charges in an indictment that accused him of being a key participant in widespread schemes to mislead government regulators and investors about the company's earnings.
His arrest could bring prosecutors closer to Enron's executive suite. The indictment noted Causey reported to Enron's chairman and chief executive officer but did not name former Enron Chairman Kenneth Lay or former CEO Jeffrey Skilling.
Causey, who surrendered to the FBI before daybreak, entered his plea before U.S. Magistrate Judge Frances Stacy. He was released on $1 million bond, secured by $500,000 in cash provided by a brother-in-law.
"Rick Causey is a decent, honorable and innocent man," his attorney, Mark Hulkower, said. "We will vigorously contest these charges."
The indictment alleged the schemes included inflated asset values, hidden debt, sham asset sales, use of energy trading profits to make the company's money-losing energy retail unit appear healthy and faking earnings in Enron's sickly broadband unit.
It also alleged Causey had secret agreements with former Enron finance chief Andrew Fastow that the finance chief wouldn't lose money when his shady partnerships did deals with Enron.
"The scheme extended into every major business at Enron," prosecutor Sam Buell said.
Causey was fired in February 2002 after an internal probe concluded he failed in his duty to adequately look out for Enron's interests when the energy giant did deals with Fastow's partnerships.
Causey is charged with one count of conspiracy and five counts of securities fraud. If convicted of all six charges, he faces a maximum sentence of 55 years in prison and a $5.25 million in fines.
His Indictment, handed up Wednesday and unsealed Thursday, came on the heels of guilty pleas last week from Fastow.and Fastow's wife, Lea.
Fastow pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy, while his wife admitted to helping hide ill-gotten income on a false tax return.
Like Andrew Fastow, Causey reported directly to Lay and his successor, Skilling. Causey and Fastow split financial duties at Enron and were at the same management level.
Neither Lay nor Skilling has been charged with any crime, and both maintain their innocence.
Causey became the 27th person charged in the aftermath of Enron's 2001 collapse amid revelations of hidden debt, inflated profits and accounting tricks. Nine of them, including the Fasts, have pleaded guilty.
According to the indictment, the scheme's objectives, among other things, were to produce earnings that grew by 15 to 20 percent annually, meet or exceed "without fail" Wall Street expectations and avoid public reporting of large write-downs or losses.
The Securities and Exchange Commission also filed civil charges Thursday accusing Causey of helping Enron file fraudulent results with the agency.
Stacy set Causey's trial for March 8 before U.S. District Court Judge Sim Lake.

Kansas 68 - Richmond 69
TANGLED UP
Final shot clinches upset for Spiders
32 15
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
While Richmond senior guard Tony Dobbins hit a difficult, spinning 12-foot jumper with a second left on the clock, Kansas had its own problems hitting the easiest shot in basketball.
Free throws, which have been one of Kansas' strengths this season, defeated the Jayhawks in a shocking 69-68 loss to the Richmond Spiders at Allen Fieldhouse last night.
In a game with 46 fouls and 28 turnovers, the Jayhawks' most telling statistic was a 18-for-28 performance from the free throw line. The tough night at the charity stripe was capped by Miles and Langford each missing a pair of free throws in the closing minutes.
"I missed a pair of free throws that could have sealed the game with a minute left, but I didn't," Miles said. "We just can't let it bother us to the point where it misses with our heads."
As much of a height and strength advantage Kansas had over Richmond, the Spiders had an answer for everything the Jayhawks threw at them in the first half. Kansas took a 34-29 lead into the locker room at halftime along with pumped-up, capacity crowd, following an alley-oop toss from Aaron Miles to Keith Langford just before the buzzer.
The Jayhawks got their lead up to nine points at 38-29 in the second half, but led by senior guard Mike Skrocki, the Spiders went on a 15-5 run and claimed the lead at 44-43. Skrocki led all scorers, scoring 16 of his 23 points in the second half.
The two teams swapped blows for the remainder of the game, with Richmond responding to every Kansas surge. Self called a timeout with 25.5 seconds remaining, and his team leading 68-67 to set up his offense. On the ensuing play, a batched play forced Miles to have an awkward three-pointer blocked as the shot clock expired. As Dobbins hit the clutch jumper, the air was sucked out of the Fieldhouse, and Kansas suffered its first home loss since Jan. 25, 2003, to Arizona

Dobbins unfazed by hype, tradition
By Mike Norris

Kansas sportswriter
Tony Dobbins said he knew the history of Allen Fieldhouse. He even knew his Richmond Spiders were supposed to lose.
He just didn't care.
Just unlucky.
On a play that was designed for someone else, Richmond senior guard Dobbins took the ball on the left wing, drove to the hoop, spun and floated a 10 foot shot over Kansas guard Aaron Miles that swished through the net with 1.2 seconds left on the clock.
The shot came on the possession after Dobbins blocked Aaron Miles from the top of the key, forcing the Jayhawks to commit a shot-clock violation.
The play was not designed for Dobbins. Senior guard Mike Skroki was supposed to take Richmond's final shot, but because the Jayhawks had him well-covered, Dobbins didn't have enough time to look anywhere else.
"I knew that even if I threw it to him it was going to be tough for him to take a shot." Dobbins said.
So the senior — who finished with seven points, four rebounds and three assists — took it upon himself to end the Jayhawks 52-game winning streak against unranked opponents at Allen Fieldhouse.
Skrocki, who led all scorers with 23 points, didn't seem to mind not taking the last shot.
"I was pretty excited after it went in," Skrocki said. After Dobbins' shot went in the clock showed only two tenths of a second remaining.
The officials then looked at the replay and added an extra second back on to the clock.
"I got a little bit nervous," Skrocki said. "Anything can happen in 1.2 seconds."
A Simien foul on Kansas' inbound pass ended any chance of a comeback.
Dobbins shot improved the Spiders record to 2-0 against Big 12 Conference opponents this season. Their other victory was a 75-62 defeat of Colorado in Boulder on Dec. 31.

Teams to compete again after Border War scuffle
By Joe Bant and Jonathan Kealing jbant@kansan.com, jkealing@kansan.com Kansan sportswriters
When a fight broke out after the Kansas women's basketball team's 55-52 defeat of Missouri on Jan. 10, the two teams made national headlines.
After a close, physical game the atmosphere became heated as words were exchanged during post-game handshakes. A multi-player fracas ensued.
"There's some great basketball in our league and there's some great basketball here at Missouri. I just wish people would focus on that more," she said.
Not that anyone wants to dwell on it. Take Missouri coach Cindy Stein:
Or Kansas coach Marian Washington: The fight, "doesn't take anything away from their effort," she said after the game. "hopefully that's what will be focused on."
Tomorrow, Stein's Tigers (9-6, 0-4 in the Big 12) will square off against the layhawks (8-8, 1-4 in the Big 12) for the
first time since the fight. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m.at Allen Fieldhouse.
Both teams are hoping that tomorrow's game will give them an opportunity to put the fight behind them. So too will University officials, who will pay close attention to tomorrow's contest.
Jim Marchiony, Kansas associate athletics director, said security would be vigilant at tomorrow's game, though no specific measures were added to normal routines.
As always, he said, security would be present all around the court and the band would be far enough away from the court's entrance to avoid problems. Kansas players have blamed Missouri's band for helping to spark the altercation after last month's game.
"we think our game operations and security and our fans have been very good at preventing off-the-court problems." Marchiony said.
Marchiony also said the officiating crew at tomorrow's game would be aware of the previous incident and play its own part in preventing any new problems.
Both teams have felt the effects of the
fight. The Big 12 suspended five players: three from Kansas and two from Missouri for "engaging in flagrant misconduct and not showing proper restraint in their conduct during the post-game alteration."
The suspended Kansas players were: junior forward Kandis Bonner; sophomore forward Tamara Ransburg; and junior guard Larisha Graves for one game. The Big 12 also suspended two Missouri players: MyEsha Perkins, senior guard, and Christelle N'Garsanet, sophomore center, for one game. Missouri added a game to Perkins' suspension, which made her total suspensions two games.
two games. Washington was admonished by the Big 12 for making comments contrary to the policies of conference. After the game, Washington said she did not believe any of her players needed to be punished. Washington blamed the incident on Missouri players who she said used profanities, as well as members of the Missouri band, who Washington said spat on on her players.
Neither school expects any similar behavior at tomorrow's game. Lew Perkins, Kansas athletics director, and Mike Alden, Missouri athletic director
Kevin Fletcher, assistant director of media relations for the Missouri athletic department, said Missouri stood by its own on-the-court security and would not make any changes to its security policies because of the brawl. He said the brawl was simply a case of players on both sides making wrong decisions and was not related to any security deficiency.
released a statement that expressed a desire to put the incident behind them. The statement also said the schools would do their best to ensure good sportsmanship from both fans and players.
The Big 12 upheld this conclusion in its report and stated that Missouri acted to "prevent further escalation of the incident in an appropriate manner."
Tomorrow's game will allow either Missouri or Kansas to snap a losing streak. Neither team has won since the two competed on Jan. 10.

Changes on sports page mean better, fairer stories
Don't worry, your eyes aren't fooling you. There is no "commentary" on the front of the Kansan's Sports section today.
Some readers may be used to the sometimes-lame commentary the sports page has been the home of in the past.
If you were a fan, consider this note an apology. If you weren't, consider this the Kansan's version of a much needed regime change.
The sports page is returning to its journalistic roots: thorough and researched writing and reporting.
Sports will still feature columns—you can find one about women's basketball inside this issue. You just might not see
one every day.
Call it what you want: A change in policy or a change in priority. The result will be the same. Columns will be held to a higher standard.
Not that actual reporting won't be.
Most of the major sports this spring and winter season will have two reporters assigned to cover them. Sports also has expanded its general assignment and feature staff. These reporters will strive to deliver the types of stories you aren't used to seeing in sports. Be it an in-depth story discussing broad sports issues or something offbeat, the Sports section is going to try and give more to you, the reader.

In Sports, like any other section of a newspaper, we're reliant upon our sources. But—keep your fingers tightly crossed—the Jayhawks look poised for long, successful seasons.
The men's basketball team seems to be adjusting to its new coach and we're
looking forward to covering the ups and downs of an exciting Big 12 Conference schedule.
Baseball will look to build on last year's success with another solid campaign. The Kansan will be keeping on eye on the diamond with, for the first time, two full-time baseball reporters.
Meanwhile, the women's team is busy starting fights with Missouri. Whether more fisticuffs are to come for these Jayhawks, you can bet the Kansan will be there to cover it.
Regardless of the sport, the Kansan will be there, ready and excited to cover it.
If you think the standards are starting to slip, or you feel the sports page isn't
doing enough, let us know. My email is hjackson@kansan.com or you can email associate sports editor Maggie Newcomer at mnewcomer@kansan.com.
Newspapers thrive on feedback. The Kansan's Sports section is no different. If you think we're dropping the ball — or not properly covering someone who is dropping the ball — let us know.
Until then, watch for the changes. Our staff is looking forward to giving you the thorough but not superfluous coverage you deserve.
And if we can't back up our opinions, you won't be reading them.

Athletics Department releases new seating plans
By Joe Bant
jbant@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas Athletics Department has released an initial draft of the seating plan it hopes to institute next year at home football and basketball games.
The plan relies on a points system to determine which ticket holders get which seats. The more points a person has, the better seats he gets. Faculty and student seating will be unaffected.
The department presented the
plan to the Athletic Ticket Advisory Committee on Jan. 15. The committee will review the proposal and suggest revisions to be made for the finalized version.
Tom Mulinazzi, professor of engineering, is a member of the 44-person committee. He said the committee was well-built to consider the plan and make the necessary changes.
"There are people who have season tickets, there who people who don't have season tickets. There are people who give a lot of money, there are people who don't give anything," Mulinazzi
"I think the athletic director went out of his way to get a good crosssection of people."
Tom Mulinazzi professor of engineering
said. "I think the athletic director went out of his way to get a good cross-section of people."
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for the Athletics Corporation, said the suggested revisions would likely be numerous and would probably deal specifically with the ways people can acquire points.
"I expect the criteria will change significantly," Marchiony said.
As the plan is now, there are a variety of ways to earn points. Graduating from the University, being a member of the KU Alumni Association and being a previous season ticket holder are all ways for a person to gain points that he can use for better seats.
However many points people acquire, they cannot activate
their points unless they belong to the Williams Fund, which requires a minimum $100 annual donation. Marchiony said that particular detail of the plan was not up for revision.
Raising revenue for the Athletics Department is the primary purpose of the plan, so donating money will play a principal role in earning points and getting the better seats, Marchiony said. He would not speculate how much of a revenue increase the plan could bring in, but he said it would be significant.
The department used ideas
from similar seating plans at other universities to formulate its own proposal. Marchiony said policies at the University of Arizona and the University of Kentucky in particular helped to shape the new plan.
Marchiony said a finalized version of the seating plan could be available as early as mid-February.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway will have the final say in approving whatever plan the University adopts.

Baseball team improves record to 5-2; series provides bright start to season
By Shane Kucera skucera@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The men's baseball team returned to the mainland United States after completing a seven-game road run in Hawaii. The team has a .367 team batting average and a nine-run-per-game average. The Jayhawks will travel to Texas on Jan. 31.
The Kansas baseball team returns to class today with suntans and a 5-2 record after a seven-game road trip to Hawaii.
The series proved a positive start to a season full of potential for the lavhawks.
Intending to improve on last year's 35-victory season, the team has begun its 2004 campaign with impressive displays defensively and offensively.
"I was pleased with how we played defensively all weekend," coach Ritch Price said. "The team reached their goal of improving every day."
Defensively the team was sound, committing just two errors from the infield.
Jayhawk offensive numbers were equally as impressive, averaging nine runs per game and a .367 team batting average.
"We have a really good offensive club one through nine in the batting order," Price said. "This could be the best offensive team the University of Kansas has ever had."
Individually, junior Sean
Richardson put up outstanding numbers in the first seven games, including a .579 batting average and a 7 RBI performance in game
formances from the mound. Each recorded a victory in his first start.

After losing its last two games to the University of Oklahoma, the University of Kansas hockey team is getting back to practicing and training harder than ever.
The losses to Oklahoma were brought on by the stresses of school and work.
Against the Sooners, the team had less than half its players, with only six substitutes.
"Towards the end of the fall schedule, everyone floundered because of finals," said captain Jeff Evans, au Omaha, Neb., junior.
The Jayhawks' remaining spring schedule includes some teams that have previously defeated them, including the Sooners.
The team thinks that its hard work must be rewarded with a little fun.
"Over break, we had fun by going out as a team as much as possible and just letting loose." Evans said.
Not only did the teammates have fun over break,but they
worked on doing some team recruiting and redesigning their locker-room facilities at their home ice of Canlan Ice Sports Complex in Shawnee.
Since practices started on Tuesday, the team has been working to get ready for its upcoming games against Robert Morris College. Evans said.
The games will be at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday in Springfield, Ill.
The two teams met in the KU Cup Tournament for Kansas' first game of the season. The game ended with a score of 8-1, with the lone goal by Joey Barghini, Minneapolis, Minn., junior In the tournament, they received third place, behind the University of Missouri.
Robert Morris College (21-10-0) tops the overall standings of the Mid-America Collegiate Hockey Association, the same division the 'Hawks are trying to get settled in. The Eagles are second in the MACHA division standings, right behind the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Kansas' record to date is 6-10-2.

'Hawks lose to Bears despite efforts
By Jessse Newell
jnewell@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas proved it could more than hold its own against No. 19 Baylor, but the last 10 minutes doomed the Jayhawks in an 85-66 loss Wednesday night.
After leading most of the first 30 minutes, the Jayhawks held their last lead at the 10:22 mark of the second half with a 59-58 advantage. The Bears ended the game on a 27-7 run.
Coach Marian Washington said she was especially pleased with her team's play in the first half, where the Jayhawks took a 40-37 lead into the break.
"We played like conference champions." Washington said, "but when they started to close down our inside game, we struggled with our shooting."
Baylor capped a busy week,
where it defeated No. 3 Texas at home 78-64 last Wednesday and lost to then No. 1 Texas Tech on the road by a single
point Saturday.
Aquanita Burras led the Jayhawks with 21 points, while Crystal Kemp scored 20. Larisha Graves, coming off a one-game suspension for her role in a fight after the Missouri game, added 12 points.
Break Wrap-up
The Jayhawks did not take a vacation during winter break, competing in ten games, with half taking place in the Big 12 Conference.
Kansas posted a 4-6 record,
going 1-4 in Big 12 play.
The Jayhawks went 2-2 in tournaments over the break, struggling against teams in their home arenas.
In the Denver Tournament Dec. 20 and Dec. 21, Kansas defeated Texas-Arlington before falling in the finals to Denver.
Kansas' fate was similar a week later at the Dartmouth Blue Sky Restaurant Classic, where it was defeated by host team Dartmouth before
"We played like conference champions,but when they started to close down our inside game,we struggled with our shooting."
Marian Washington Kansas women's basketball coach
rebounding with a victory against Fairfield.
A home victory against San Diego was the last test before conference play, where Kansas met what may be its toughest conference foe—No. 3 ranked Texas.
The Jayhawks performed well, pulling to within six in the second half, but fell short in a 73-54 loss.
"We are walking out of the game with our heads up," sophomore forward Crystal Kemp said after the game. "It's a
learning experience for us and now we know what we have to do."
The Jayhawks responded against the Missouri Tigers, producing in a high-pressure game in Columbia. Kansas defeated Missouri 55-52, with a scuffle after the game's final buzzer. The conference suspended forwards Kandis Bonner, Tamara Ransburg, and guard Larisha Graves for one game for their roles in the fight, with all three serving their suspensions against Kansas State.
Kansas fell to ranked opponents Colorado and Kansas State before facing No. 19 Baylor Wednesday. Coach Washington said her team's strong effort against Missouri should help it over the course of the season.
"This win is going to help us to continue to grow," Washington said. "It's a long conference race for everybody."

hawks as they left the court.
The fight that took place after Kansas' 55-52 victory against Missouri grabbed national headlines, running on the front of the ESPN women's college basketball page.
Kansas players reportedly made inappropriate comments during the teams' farewell. Missouri players reportedly responded with "the finger" and more words. The Missouri crowd reportedly threw ice at the Jay-
The Border War in women's basketball was officially on, with five players suspended from the two teams.
And, with that,the war continues.
Now, just 13 days later, the teams prepare to match up again tomorrow.
This is the one KU students need to show up for.
There is definitely some bad blood between the two teams after the scuffle. There is no love lost between Kansas and Missouri, and the game should be an emotional battle.
commentary
Jesse Newell
jnewell@kansan.com
But here's the thing — fans could be the difference.
Kansas, after struggling through the last few years, has the talent to beat Missouri. The Jayhawks added gifted players to an already young squad and have some confidence after defeating
the Tigers on Jan. 10. They have a chance to sweep the season series from the Tigers, something that hasn't been done since the 1998-1999 season. Now, they just need the support.
"The Kansas-Missouri rivalry," Kansas coach Marian Washington said, "is always intense very emotional."
It might not be if 945 fans — KU's average for the season — show up. Missouri supported its women's team with 2,209 fans a week ago, and they didn't even know a fight was coming.
Although it will be tough to match, this should be a goal for
KU fans.
And this time there will be no excuses.
The Kansas men's team has the day off, playing on Sunday. The NFL playoffs have a week break before the Super Bowl. There is no charge for students, no one should have homework and the game is at 3 p.m. — so you can still drink the night away.
It doesn't matter if you've never attended a women's basketball game. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't plan on attending another one this season.
This is the one you need to see.
Wear that blue shirt that hangs
in your closet gathering dust — the one with the phrase that rhymes with "duck kazoo."
Make noise. Have fun.
Kansas is playing Missouri and students should not be indifferent.
Whether men's basketball, women's basketball, rowing or chess, that's the way this rivalry should be: rewarding in victory.
Fans should care about the outcome. They should care about the result.
Yes, just because it's Missouri.

Aaron Miles pumps up the crowd after a defensive stand in the K-State backcourt during second half play on Jan. 15. Michael Lee also participated in the game after he returned from a collarbone injury.
Just as the temperatures peaked and plummeted in Lawrence over the lengthy winter break, so did the momentum for the Kansas men's basketball team. In seven games over the student vacation, the team has seen its highs and lows, and here is a quick recap of how it all went down.
Deg 20, 2003, Kansas vs. UC Santa Barbara
In a game that was not seen on national television, the Jayhawks sported their new, red uniforms for the first time. Junior forward Wayne Simien paced Kansas with 15 points and 16 rebounds in 33 minutes on the floor. Kansas only led 24-18 at the half but a 19-4 run by the Jayhawks to start the second half put the Gauchos away for good. Junior swingman Keith Langford led the Jayhawks in scoring with 19.
Kansas 72, UCSB 52
Dec. 21, 2003, Kansas vs. Nevada
In the Jayhawks' second game in Reno, Nev., in two days, signs of a hangover from a 20-point victory the night before were evident. Kansas was slow, sluggish and lacked intensity for 40 minutes, as the team suffered an embarrassing loss to the unranked Nevada Wolf Pack. Nevada guard Kirk Snyder led the Wolf Pack with 29 points, and the Jayhawks were out-rebounded 37-34.
Nevada 75, Kansas 61
Dec. 29, 2003, Kansas vs. Binghamton
After having nearly a week to reflect on the Nevada defeat, the Jayhawks came home to face an under-manned Binghamton squad. Kansas took a 21-2 lead in the first nine minutes of the game, and never looked back. J.R. Giddens led the Jayhawks with 16 points.

jun 2, kenneth In a clash between two evenly-
matched, major conference squads, Kansas showed perseverance and came out on top. Villanova never gave up, with five players scoring in double figures, led by Allan Ray's 22. Kansas was once again out-rebounded, 41-35, but a 47 combined points by Simien and Langford kept the Jayhawks afloat. Most importantly, Kansas was able to score consistently for 40 minutes and withstand a late Wildcats' run. Kansas 86, Villanova 79
Jan. 5. Kansas vs. Colorado
In the first Big 12 Conference game under coach Bill Self, the Jayhawks faced Colorado in Boulder, where they lost a year ago. Simien posted another double-double, with 21 points and 14 boards, and the team outbounded the Buffaloes 42-36. Defensively, the Jayhawks limited Colorado's 1-2 scoring punch of David Harrison and Michel Morandais to just 27 points. Kansas 77, Colorado 62
Jan. 14, Kansas vs. Kansas State
After a nine-day layoff, the Jayhawks showed some rust. So much, that even though the Wildcats were without freshmen Dez Willingham and Cartier Martin, they only trailed 36-32 at halftime in Allen Fieldhouse. With David
Padgett out with a foot fracture, senior Jeff Graves gave an inspiring, 11-point, nine-rebound performance off the bench. In the end Kansas had the depth and energy to outlast the Wildcats. Kansas 73, Kansas State 67

"We didn't do much on offense in the last ten minutes against the zone," junior forward Wayne Simien said. "We hate to lose at home. It's tough."
SPIDERS:' Hawks lose at home
CONTINUED FROM 1B
Langford led the Jayhawks with 18 points, and Wayne Simien notched a double-double, with 14 points and 14 rebounds. Miles finished just shy of a triple-double, with 10 points, eight rebounds and eight assists with just one turnover.
Unlike the Jayhawks' previous loss on Dec. 21 at Nevada, the team will not have to wait eight days to simmer on the defeat. Kansas will welcome Colorado to Allen Fieldhouse Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. The Jayhawks defeated the Buffaloes 77-62 on Jan. 5 in Boulder, and will look for a repeat performance before hitting the meat of the Big 12 schedule.
"If this destroys our confidence, then we weren't very tough to begin with," Self said. "Hopefully, that won't be the case."
**Kansas Basketball Notebook**
Padgett Returns — Lost in last night's defeat was the return of freshman center David Padgett. Padgett, who had missed two games with a stress fracture in his left foot, played 18 minutes off the bench. He had five points, five rebounds and two blocked shots, playing his best minutes in the second half when Jeff Graves headed to the bench with four fouls.
■ No Love Lost for Roy — During the first half, the news of North Carolina's 90-81 overtime loss at Florida State was but on the scoreboard at Allen Fieldhouse. Following cheers by the crowd came a rendition of the Seminole's Tomahawk Chop by the student sections.

DOBBINS: Shot seals victory

and St. Joseph's this season, two teams that have been ranked in the top ten.
"This wasn't a challenge we were shying away from," Dobbins said. "It was something that we were looking forward to."
Besides winning the game for the Spiders, Dobbins's shot overshadowed two great Jayhawk performances by Miles and junior forward Wayne Simien.
Miles finished with 10 points, nine assists and eight rebounds, while Simien tallied 14 points and 14 rebounds.
However, Spider and Jayhawk fans will likely only remember the final shot, and the confidence of Dobbins, who said he wasn't about to shy away from the opportunity in front of him.
"I wouldn't have shot it if I didn't think it was going in," he said.

Horoscopes
Today's Birthday (Jan. 23).
You're tough and getting tougher, but that's partially because you have to, due to circumstances that seem beyond your control. Don't bet too heavily on your own abilities, or on the abilities of your teammates, either. The outcome could be a big surprise to everyone. Keep the faith.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 6.
You'll be entering a more thoughtful phase over the next few days, so relax. It's not a good time to travel or to start new projects. Finish old ones instead.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is an 8.
The more you learn, the more you earn — that's the idea. Don't let yourself go off on a tangent. Focus on something you can use.
As the day progresses, one who's been as cold as ice could finally melt, thanks largely to your kindness and your work behind the scenes. Love is the prize.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
You've had a tendency to get emotional in the past, especially where money is concerned. If you can develop a more analytical attitude, you'll make much more money and suffer less stress. Practice.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
You're actually getting stronger,
but perhaps not in a way you
expect. The next lesson for you to
learn is letting somebody else run
the show (to produce the results
you're after, of course).
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
You have a dear loved one who understands you, and with whom you can share any problem that might be distracting to you. Do that, and then get back to work.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
Once you've made the commitment, providing the service is easy. It doesn't seem like drudgery at all. It's more like giving them a gift.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is an 8.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
You'll be so proud once a tough job is done, you'll soon forget recent frustrations. You're going into a cuddly phase, so make preparations.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 7.
Gather information that you can use for an upcoming household project.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is a7.
You're the life of the party, the inspiration, the genius, the soul. Now, your toughest assignment is to remember to be humble, too.
Listen to your conscience what it's saying. It's about something you promised to do. Better now than later, that's for sure.
Let your imagination expand to include wonderful possibilities. It doesn't matter if you think yourself unworthy.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is an 8.

ResNet orders virus check
KIP LAKE
Paresh Mehta, Wichita senior and Resnet worker, fixes Jordan Kreher's, St. Louis freshman computer on Friday Jan. 23. "The people are very helpful, so it hasn't been as bad of a situation as it could have been," Kreher said.
By Azita Tafreshi atafroshi@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Residence hall members will find themselves without access to the ResNet network this semester until they pass a new security check.
new security training Residents must download and run an application that tests the security of their computers, as well as the KU antivirus program, Sophos, which is free to all KU students, faculty and staff.
Once their computer passes the tests, residents are given an activation code to regain access to the network.
If a resident's computer is infected because the process was not properly completed, the student will be charged a $45 reactivation fee.
The mandatory registration process checks for known vulnerabilities from the Internet, makes sure the computer is
properly configured for software updates and verifies that Sophos has been installed, said Chuck Crawford, campus information technology security officer.
"What we are trying to avoid is what we ran into last semester," Crawford said. "We had a bunch of PCs that were not properly configured that were getting compromised and infected over and over again."
Crawford said these infections could potentially affect computer performance all over campus, and the new registration requirements were a proactive measure toward network security.
Keegan Flanigan, Olathe freshman, said he thought the idea of everyone having antivirus software sounded like a good idea, but that there were still problems. Flanigan said it took him over an hour to set up the program, and he ran into difficulties before it ran correctly.
Ice puts freeze on students
Scott Rollheiser, Lenexa freshman, scraped the ice from his car late yesterday afternoon. As much as half an inch of rain covered cars, trees and sidewalks after last night's sleet and rain storm. Forecasters said Monday's conditions would not be much better.

When Dennis Constance saw the pamphlets depicting his fellow KU classified employees as "dangerous snakes," the senior custodial supervisor didn't know what to think of the union he'd been a member of for 20 years.
member of or for 20 years. Constance, co-chairman of legislative affairs for the Classified Senate, said the Kansas Association of Public Employees demonized the classified employees for voting in October to make the University of Kansas their employer rather than the state.
Dennis Constance, custodial supervisor, cleaned the carpet at Varsity House early Saturday morning. The Varsity House, located at 11th and Indiana streets, is the headquarters for the University's housekeeping and recycling program.
As a member of the Classified Senate and KAPE, Constance knows the groups should be working toward mutual goals, not fighting in pamphlets and the Legislature.
But since the classified employees first vote last spring to change employer — a 545 to 545 tie — KAPE has struggled against the possible move.
Constance said that despite KAPE's strong opposition to the University's classified employees' decision, it did not understand the real reasons why the employees wanted to leave the state payroll.
KAPE never contacted him or any other classified Senator he knew of to learn more about the issue, Constance said.
"It's a knee-jerk reaction. It's a fear reaction." Constance said.
"I've not seen anything that the leadership cares about what it's members feel," Constance said.
But Andy Sanchez, executive director of KAPE, said KAPE leadership didn't have to contact KU classified employees; they contacted KAPE.
Sanchez said the classified employees he spoke to raised concerns about job security when employed by the University, something that was insured under state civil service protections.
"To water down those protections, that's not where our membership wants to go," Sanchez said.
Constance said the University system would protect employees' jobs just as well as the state.
But Constance said money issues with the state budget ultimately affected the vote more than anything else.
Without the state budget restricting their pay increases, Constance said civil service employees could get paid what they deserve.

Official gives talk at Berlin college

Kansan staff writer
While KU students enjoyed the last day of winter break last Thursday, Chancellor Robert Hemenway packed his bags for a business trip to Europe.
The trip, sponsored by the chancellor's office, University of Kansas Alumni Association, the Kansas University Endowment Association and KU International Programs takes place from Jan. 22 to Jan. 30. While in Europe,
Hemenway
Hemenway will give a Distinguished W.E.B. Du Bois Lecture on Jan. 27 at Humboldt University in Berlin.
The lecture is titled Zora Neale Hurston and the Harlem Renaissance. Hurston, an African-American novelist and folklorist, was the subject of Hemenway's 1977 book Zora Neale Hurston: A Literary Biography.
The university has invited eight people including Hemenway to give the Du Bois lectures during its winter semester. Hemenway is one of three Americans giving lectures.
The Du Bois lectures invite American scholars and public intellectuals to lecture and teach a seminar about public culture, cultural differences, intercultural translation and the interactions among cultures from an transatlantic perspective, according to the university's Web site. www.hu-bertlin.de.
The lecture won't be the only event on Hemenway's itinerary. He will also be meeting with more than 1,000 alumni, associates and friends of the University of Kansas during receptions and private meetings in Berlin and London.
Todd Cohen, associate director of university relations, said Hemenway takes a yearly trip to Europe on behalf of the University.
"We've tried to establish receptions for KU alumni overseas." Cohen said. "They remain passionate about the issues and things going on back here at KU."
Those alumni also like to give back to the University, John Scarffe, director of communications for the endowment association said.
He said one London couple, Douglas L. Miller and Audrey Tanaka-Miller, have donated $500,000 to multicultural scholarships.
Scarffe said fundraising abroad required the same elements of fundraising locally — including e-mail, newsletters and even trips.
"We need to keep in touch with alumni abroad just like we do here." Scarffe said. "Communication pays off."

Residence hall members will find themselves without access to the ResNet network this semester until they pass a new security check.
Residents must download and run an application that tests the security of their computers, as well as the KU antivirus program, Sophos, which is free to all KU students, faculty and staff.
Once their computer passes the tests, residents are given an activation code to regain access to the network.
If a resident's computer is infected because the process was not properly completed, the student will be charged a $45 reactivation fee.
The mandatory registration process checks for known vulnerabilities from the Internet, makes sure the computer is
properly configured for software updates and verifies that Sophos has been installed, said Chuck Crawford, campus information technology security officer.
"What we're trying to avoid is what we ran into last semester," Crawford said. "We had a bunch of PCs that were not properly configured that were getting compromised and infected over and over again."
Crawford said these infections could potentially affect computer performance all over campus, and the new registration requirements were a proactive measure toward network security.
Keegan Flanigan, Olathe freshman, said he thought the idea of everyone having antivirus software sounded like a good idea, but that there were still problems. Flanigan said it took him over an hour to set up the program, and he ran into difficulties before it ran correctly.

When Dennis Constance saw the pamphlets depicting his fellow KU classified employees as "dangerous snakes," the senior custodial supervisor didn't know what to think of the union he'd been a member of for 20 years.
Constance, co-chairman of legislative affairs for the Classified Senate, said the Kansas Association of Public Employees demonized the classified employees for voting in October to make the University of Kansas their employer rather than the state
Dennis Constance, custodial supervisor, cleaned the carpet at Varsity House early Saturday morning. The Varsity House, located at 11th and Indiana streets, is the headquarters for the University's housekeeping and recycling program.
Constance said that despite KAPE's strong opposition to the University's classified employees' decision, it did not understand the real reasons why the employees wanted to leave the state payroll.
As a member of the Classified Senate and KAPE, Constance knows the groups should be working toward mutual goals, not fighting in pamphlets and the Legislature.
But since the classified employees' first vote last spring to change employer — a 545 to 545 tie — KAPE has struggled against the possible move.
"It's a knee-jerk reaction. It's a fear reaction." Constance said.
"I've not seen anything that the leadership cares about what it's members feel," Constance said.
KAPE never contacted him or any other classified Senator he knew of to learn more about the issue, Constance said.
But Andy Sanchez, executive director of KAPE, said KAPE leadership didn't have to contact KU classified employees; they contacted KAPE.
Sanchez said the classified employees he spoke to raised concerns about job security when employed by the University, something that was insured under state civil service protections.
"to water down those protections, that's not where our membership wants to go," Sanchez said.
But Constance said money issues with the state budget ultimately affected the vote more than anything else.
Constance said the University system would protect employees' jobs just as well as the state.
Without the state budget restricting their pay increases, Constance said civil service employees could get paid what they deserve.

Official gives talk at Berlin college
By Anna Clovis aclovis@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
While KU students enjoyed the last day of winter break last Thursday, Chancellor Robert Hemenway packed his bags for a business trip to Europe.
Hemenway
The trip, sponsored by the chancellor's office, University of Kansas Alumni Association, the Kansas University En d o w m e n t Association and KU International Programs takes place from Jan. 22 to Jan. 30. While in Europe,
"We've tried to establish receptions for KU alumni overseas." Cohen said. "They remain passionate about the issues and things going on back here at KU."
Hemenway will give a Distinguished W.E.B. Du Bois Lecture on Jan. 27 at Humboldt University in Berlin.
Those alumni also like to give back to the University, John Scarffe, director of communications for the endowment association said.
The lecture is titled Zora Neale Hurston and the Harlem Renaissance. Hurston, an African-American novelist and folklorist, was the subject of Hemenway's 1977 book Zora Neale Hurston: A Literary Biography.
The Du Bois lectures invite American scholars and public intellectuals to lecture and teach a seminar about public culture, cultural differences, intercultural translation and the interactions among cultures from an transatlantic perspective, according to the university's Web site, www.hu-berlin.de.
The university has invited eight people including Hemenway to give the Du Bois lectures during its winter semester. Hemenway is one of three Americans giving lectures.
The lecture won't be the only event on Hemenway's itinerary. He will also be meeting with more than 1,000 alumni, associates and friends of the University of Kansas during receptions and private meetings in Berlin and London.
p
Todd Cohen, associate director of university relations, said Hemenway takes a yearly trip to Europe on behalf of the University.
He said one London couple, Douglas L. Miller and Audrey Tanaka-Miller, have donated $500,000 to multicultural scholarships.
Scarffe said fundraising abroad required the same elements of fundraising locally — including e-mail, newsletters and even trips.
"We need to keep in touch with alumni abroad just like we do here," Scarffe said. "Communication pays off."

KU professor's film struck big gains production company
C. S.A.: The Confederate States of America is poised to make an appearance on a somewhat larger stage.
The film by Kevin Willmott, a University of Kansas associate professor of theatre and film, which was chosen to play at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, had its theatrical distribution rights purchased by IFC Films Wednesday.
Other motion picture distribution companies such as Miramax Films and Newmarket Films were in negotiations for the distribution rights, but Willmott said that IFC was the best option.
"We think IFC is a good home for the film," Willmott said, "We couldn't be happier about it."
Last year, IFC films purchased the rights to My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and the movie went on to be a box-office success.
Willmott said that there were no present plans for a showing for KU students upon his return today, but that after talks with the distribution company, a showing was probable.

Center blames authorities for handling of crypto virus
LAWRENCE — An outbreak of infection by a diarrhea-inducing parasite might have been more than six times worse than previously reported, a new federal report shows.
The report from the federal Centers for Disease Control, made public Friday by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, shows that the cryptosporidiosis outbreak last summer in Lawrence might have infected 600 people
The report also suggests that the disease's spread could have been slowed if health authorities had alerted the community sooner.
But Douglas County and state authorities said they took the correct action during the outbreak based on what they knew at the time.
Authorities said they waited to alert the public because they weren't sure the cases were related.

Campus projects to save energy
By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
After spending more than $600,000 on renovations at the Kansas Union this month, an energy-savings project is expect to pay for itself.
"The expense of the project is the beauty of it," Pat Beard, building services manager, said. "Every penny over a 20-year period will recuperate the expense of the project."
Traffic along Jayhawk Boulevard was either slowed or blocked entirely during the week of Jan. 12, before most students' return from winter break. Workers operating a large crane also blocked access to the west entrance of the Union.
Beard estimated the cost of the project was $628,000 for the Union. Modifications to the Union included replacing cooling towers and also installing efficient lighting systems to save utility bills. The University hopes to lower utility costs of each square foot from $1.40 to $1.
College students unite in March for Life
The Kansas Union construction comes among the first of several projects designed to save energy and utility costs on most buildings on campus.
More than 100 students travel to Washington, D.C.
The project comes in the wake of energy costs, both heating and cooling, that should continue to rise.
As with the Union project, the campus-wide effort should pay for itself with the savings in utilities.
The project will conserve energy for 5.9 million square feet of facility space on campus, not including student housing that will be contracted separately.

ABORTION IS HOMICIDE

Amy Sack, Seneca freshman, and Katie Burnside, Independence, Mo., sophomore, returned home from an anti-abortion march in Washington, D.C., Friday afternoon. A group of students from the St. Lawrence Catholic Center joined thousands in the march.
By Patrick Cady pcady@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The crowd moved with them. Voices followed them with every step, chanting and praying. Everywhere the words and prayers of the Catholic rosary resounded.
As they walked toward the Capitol more people joined until they became like a sea.
"In front of me and in back of me all I could see was people," Brett Gaughan, Leawood senior, said.

The march moved from the Washington Monument to the Supreme Court, and coincides the 31st anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion.
For the students who left Monday morning from the St. Lawrence Catholic Center, this journey became a pilgrimage.
"It's really amazing for me," said Aubrey Logsdon, Wichita senior and leader of the trip. "I've been there and been in the experience of standing for what I believe in."
The students, who were from the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Ottawa University and Washburn University focused on community building as they weathered the 22-hour bus ride to the district.
Once the group arrived in the district they decided to split up. Some went sightseeing and others decided to volunteer around the area.

Friday first day flunks;change needed
Fridays are meant for winding down from a difficult week and getting a start on the weekend. Business people, politicians and even professors are used to ending their day early on Fridays, heading home to begin their two-day break. This revered day is not meant for starting a new semester of classes.
This spring semester however, the University of Kansas violated Friday's role by beginning the new term on the last day of the week. Students and professors alike had to make their return plans before the weekend, with class beginning Friday, Ian.23.
While the semester's start date is the result of a somewhat flukey combination
OUR VIEW
Friday start day is inconvenient for students. It goes against the traditional role of Fridays, and makes students less likely to attend.
of circumstances, it is still an inconvenience to everyone at the University, changing travel plans and violating the traditional role of the day.
This schedule may have come as a surprise to students accustomed to the University's Thursday start day, but it is not a sudden development. The University's calendar is approved and set many years
in advance. It is currently set until 2021 according to Marjorie Swann, chairwoman of the calendar committee. The registrar's office sets the calender based on recommendations from the calendar committee and then the proposed calendar must be approved by the Board of Regents.
A certain number of instructional days must be worked around holidays to fit into the semester. Because 2004 is a leap year, the semester's start date was shifted from the usual Thursday to Friday.
Having one day of class before the weekend diminishes the importance of attending. This sends a message from the University that it is O.K. to stay home.
Receiving a syllabus and sitting through a get-to-know-you session does not rank high on the list of Friday priorities, which may include getting an early seat at The Wheel.
In another four years we will be running into the same situation. It won't surprise us, it won't take us off guard and it hopefully won't cause us the same inconvenience.
The calendar needs to be amended to avoid another Friday start day, so Fridays can return to their proper role as the gateway to the weekend.
Otherwise, the University should stop calling it the first day of class and instead refer to it as "KU Skip Day."

'Generation Y': Forget individuality, advertisers are out to steal your style
While watching the new teen drama The OC last week (don't you dare judge me), I found myself strangely taken with a Sprite commercial that told me to, among other things, "obey my thirst."
This manipulative commercialization would not stand. I walked over to the refrigerator, grabbed a Pepsi and drank it down in about 10 seconds.
Take that Sprite. You can't tell me what to do. I sat back down on the couch just as character Ryan and Marissa came back on, pleased with my singular act of corporate rebellion.
In a seemingly unrelated incident, I was walking down Massachusetts Street two days later and noticed a Ramones'T-shirt in the window of Urban Outfitters, 1013 Massachusetts St.
While I was standing there, a man came up behind me and asked me if I had a minute or two to answer a few questions.
I told him no, but he apparently took that as a ves.

The man — tall, young, with blindly white teeth and well-dressed in Abercrombie — explained to me that he was a "cool hunter," someone who goes out and tries to find emerging trends among young people. He was particularly interested in Generation Y, and I, in my ripped jeans, circa 1979 Bob Seger T-shirt and Bass Pro Shop jacket, seemed to fit the part.
For the purpose of accuracy, I'm going to recount our interaction as best as I can remember it.

PERSPECTIVE
State of the Union can be a laughing matter, but comedy shouldn't override relevant issues
Comedians from shows like Saturday Night Live or Mad TV must salivate over the State of the Union address. No matter what year or president, one can't help but picture the SNL episode with Dana Carvey's Bush Sr. impression drawing so much applause that Carvey could barely utter a syllable before being interrupted by a standing ovation.
Some young adults across the nation watched the State of the Union with the utmost pleasure last week. Oh no, these aren't the political activist students who strive to be the Bushes of tomorrow. These students use the favorite college pastime of a drinking game to mark the event: For every reference to Iraq or the No Child Left Behind Act, the Web site www.drinkinggame.us/ directs participants to take a swig, or two or three, of their liquor of choice.
From the endless standing ovations to the thoroughly peeved Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass), who completed

COMMENTARY
Amy Kelly opinion@kansan.com
But too many issues in the State of the Union have serious implications, particularly in an election year. Regardless of whether you are a Democrat, Republican or reject any label, hearing what Bush has to say — or doesn't say — before November's presidential election is vital.
many an eye roll, getting drunk might seem the best solution to getting through the speech.
According to a CBS News/New York
Times poll conducted in mid-January, Bush's approval rating is at 50 percent, with 45 percent disapproving of his performance.
During his address last week, Bush highlighted accomplishments such as the capture of Saddam Hussein and how effective security has been in the United States. These points absolutely should be acknowledged, but it's time to pay closer attention.
Decidedly missing from the 54 minute speech was any mention of fouryear colleges, financially or otherwise. Following the president's speech, Sen Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) provided a rebuttal that students may find troubling Under the Bush administration, four year colleges' tuitions have increased $600 each year.
Daschle is not off the mark. The College Board, which owns the SAT, released a study in 2003 that showed cuts in state funding were a primary reason why in-
And the war in Iraq? Saddam may be out of commission, but anonymous CIA agents announced this week that a civil war was imminent among Iraq's residents.
Finding humor in the state of the world is important, but don't forget to look beyond the jokes when it comes to areas that could affect the next four years. When you know the issues like the back of your hand, don't forget to treat yourself to a healthy dose of SNL's Horatio Sanz and Jimmy Fallon.
Of more interest to future graduates may be the economy, which is either on the upswing or stagnant, depending on whom you ask. One thousand new jobs were available in December, but plenty of master's degree holders are still doing odd jobs to make the rent.

Successful landings bring new views of Red Planet

Kansas staff writer
Six months after KU students saw Mars at its closest in 50,000 years, the Red Planet is brought back into view.
But unlike last August, when students observed Mars through telescopes, now pictures taken by two robotic rovers on the planet's surface show Mars in more detail than ever before.
NASA launched the twin rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, seven months ago. Spirit, which landed Jan. 3, has experienced technical difficulties but is back on track after this weekend. Opportunity landed yesterday halfway around the planet from Spirit. It is already sending back photos of the darkest, strangest landscape ever seen on Mars.
The golf cart-sized rovers are each loaded with a camera and a microscope, three instruments that analyze rocks and soils and various other equipment, such as
magnets and sundials. The rovers will act like living geologists walking on Mars, performing onsite experiments on the rocks and soil that they encounter.
Scientists already know frozen water exists on Mars, but they hope the rovers will prove whether liquid water existed long ago as well, and give an idea of how Mars evolved as a planet.
The Mars seen in satellite pictures is red and dry. But Tom Cravens, professor of astronomy and physics, said that the Red Planet wasn't necessarily that bleak billions of years ago.
"Some of the more suspicious-looking features could have been caused by running water or lava," said Cravens, who has worked on several other NASA missions. "Now we can get on-the-spot verification, the truth on what's been seen from orbit."
Mars is covered with a mineral called grey hematite, which is also found on Earth. Grey hematite can either be formed by hot water or volcanic activity. One goal of
the Mars mission is to discover the real cause of the hematite formation.
"It would be interesting if there was once running water," he said. "Part of the excitement is that if there was liquid water, life could have existed millions of years ago, in theory."
Shannon Cline, Wichita junior, shares the excitement of Cravens and others across the globe. She has been following the Mars Exploration Rover Mission since December after seeing a video presentation at Wichita's Exploration Place science center.
Cline said that often students got bogged down with school and daily life, and didn't think about the bigger picture.
"It's easy to get stuck in that bubble," Cline said. "But this is something that can really challenge your thinking — to think and learn about something millions of miles away."
Cravens said that the mission would help figure out the basic
history of Mars and our solar system.
Studying some of the primitive features of Mars that could be compared to early Earth's can help scientists explain some of the geological aspects of our own planet.
"We have some ideas of why each planet evolved as it did," he said. "The mission will help us to tell the life stories of Mars and the planets in general, and see the big picture."
Cline and Craven agreed that part of the mission's appeal is in the spirit of exploration.
"It teaches us to challenge ourselves to reach 'impossible' goals. It shows that if we let technology grow, nothing is impossible anymore." Cline said.
Students and Mars-enthusiasts worldwide can see images sent back from the two rovers on NASA's Web site devoted to the 90-day mission at marsrovers.nasa.gov/home.

COMPUTERS: Some students question mandatory virus protection
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
"My roommate had Sophos last semester and still managed to get a virus," Flanigan said. "I don't really trust Sophos or like the way they're forcing us to use it."
Sonja Heath, Overland Park junior and resident assistant in Ellsworth Hall, said she tried to keep both Sophos and Norton antiviruses on her computer because she trusted the protection she paid for from Norton.
Running both programs simultaneously slowed down her computer, and she eventually had to uninstall Norton.
Heath said, unlike Norton, Sophos does not provide its user with any details about the nature, location or blocking of the viruses.
"I don't see why we all have to conform to ResNet." Heath
Colleen Tierney, St. Louis freshman, said before downloading Sophos, her computer worked fine, and she never had any viruses with her previous antivirus software.
said.
Since she's downloaded Sophos, 15 viruses have infected her computer.
"It's not doing anything about it," Tierney said. "It's just frustrating."
Sara Mallett, St. Louis freshman, said she thought it was important for residents to have an antivirus program, but would prefer better software.
As part of being on a network,
"I think if they just did a check for any antivirus software program on your computer it would have been a better way to go about things," Mallett said. "But they don't know until they try."

CLASSIFIED: Regents to compare job benefits with other states
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
State employees' wages are 50 percent behind what they should be if kept up with inflation, Constance said. Under the University's budget, classified employees would not have to worry about the whims of legislators or the division of the state budget, Constance said.
According to Constance, because of budget shortfalls in the 1980s and former Gov. Bill Graves' tax cuts during the 1990s budget surplus, the state has never paid civil service employees a living wage.
"The University has an interest in paying its employees well," Constance said.
Because some rural legislators' constitencies do not
include many state employees, it's not always in their interest to allocate money for pay increases, Constance said.
The Classified Senate presented these arguments to the Board of Regents, which decided to research the decision more before it made a final decision.
The Regents needed to answer questions about how the move would affect civil service staff at the five other universities under the regents system, said Kip Peterson, press secretary for the board.
The Regents plan to research other states that have dealt with similar situations, speak to the heads of the other state universities and consult the Educational Planning Committee in the Legislature. Peterson said.
Rep. Paul Davis (D-
Lawrence) said he had heard
from lobbyists from both the Classified Senate and KAPE.
"I'm generally supportive of the Regents' decisions." Davis said. "I understand why they didn't decide, but I think eventually will be here to talk to us."
"We expect to be laughed out of both houses," Jansen said.
To resolve the issue of lost pay, the Classified Senate will ask legislators Feb. 10 for a 7.5 percent increase in salary, said Kathy Jansen, president of the Classified Senate. The amount would equal three years of 2.5 percent increases lost since Graves altered the step system. Jansen admitted the amount was extraordinarily high considering the condition of the state's budget.
Davis said that number didn't have a chance. Instead, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius authorized a 3
percent pay raise Jan. 12 for all state employees to help compensate for the lost increases.
Constance said that although the 3 percent is a step in the right direction, the Classified Senate would still ask for more to draw attention to the raises state employees have lost.
Both KAPE and the classified employees agree on the wage issue, as both parties have a vested interest in their members' income and buying power.
Constance said the Classified Senate would plan a rally with KAPE in Topeka at the end of March to ask legislators to reinstate step increases.
"Maybe that will be a time we can mend some fences," Constance said.

Jayhawks outmuscle Buffs
Kansas gains Big 12 victory
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswinter
"Night and day" might be the best way to summarize the Jayhawk squad that suited up for last Thursday's 69-68 loss at home to Richmond and Sunday's 78-57 victory over the Colorado Buffaloes.
While the Jayhawks' improvements were not eye-popping on the stat sheet, they succeeded this time in what coach Bill self emphasizes more than anything else — putting away an opponent.
"We came out tonight and took our anger out on Colorado, and hopefully we can do that the rest of this season," freshman forward J.R. Giddens said. "We shouldn't lose at the Fieldhouse, that's a no-no. I think that kind of hit us."
Both coaches were forced to devise a game plan using their benches, as 16 total fouls were called in the first 10 minutes. The bulk of the fouls were called on big men. Both Kansas senior forward Jeff Graves and Colorado junior center David Harrison found themselves in early foul trouble, and had their numbers limited all afternoon.
Play was balanced for the first seven minutes of the game, before Kansas took off on a 17-2 run at the 13-minute mark, including eight points from junior forward Wayne Simien. The run gave the Jayhawks a 25-12 lead, and the Buffaloes were never able to recover.
kansas took a 41-21 lead into the locker room at halftime with no reason to expect a Colorado comeback. The Buffalo shots a miserable 17.9 percent from the field in the first half, hitting only five shots, while the Jayhawks hit on 53.6 percent, including four three-point field goals.
"We did a lot of things well in the first half, and then we came in with a nice comfy, cushioned lead," Simien said. "That's something that you really like to think about."
An otherwise uneventful second half was punctuated by Harrison's inability to stay out of foul trouble and to control his temper. With 17:40 remaining, Harrison committed his fourth foul and was pulled from the game by coach Ricardo Patton. After arguing with the referees, Harrison did the same with some Kansas fans sitting behind the Colorado bench. After returning, he fouled out with 14:28 left. While an assistant coach

escorted him to the locker room, he exchanged words with the student section.
"He had the monster dunk to start the game, and after that he only made one other field goal," Self said. "He's a lot easier to guard on the bench than he is out there between the lines."
Simien recorded his second straight double-double, with 20 points and 15 rebounds. He had 16 points and nine rebounds in the first half. Giddens added 13 points and eight rebounds, with nine of his points coming from beyond the three-point arc. Junior guard Keith Langford had 13 points.
The victory moved Kansas to 12-3 on the season overall, and preserved an undefeated conference record at 4-0. The Buffaloes dropped to 10-6, with a 2-3 conference mark. The Jayhawks remain one of two undefeated teams in conference play along with Texas Tech.
"Any time you lose, you want to be able to play right after it, just like in a pick-up game," junior guard Aaron Miles said. "We're a good shooting team, and once we start being a lot more consistent with it, it's going to open up a lot more doors for us."
Kansas Basketball Notebook
Fans Missing In Action—While the crowd played a role in making David Harrison's afternoon one he'll want to forget, there were more empty seats than usual in Allen Fieldhouse. The student section had roughly 10 rows of empty seats atop the Fieldhouse. He told players that poor weather probably keeps some fans away.
BAS
Reserves Save The Day — With the officials calling as tight of a game as they did, Kansas' bench picked up the slack when the starters were in foul trouble. Christian Moody and David Padgett played quality minutes in the first half when Graves was hit with two early fouls, and Michael Lee chipped in with seven points, eight rebounds and six assists. The Jayhawks' bench outscored the Buffalo's bench 20-12.
"I talked to them before the game about how many people were here considering there's three inches of ice," Self said. "I said lets go give these guys a show. They sacrificed to be here today."
Eric Braem/Kansan
Kansas junior forward Wayne Simien leapt for a first-half block against Colorado sophomore guard Jayson Obazuaye in Allen Fieldhouse yesterday. Simien led the Jayhawks with 20 points and 15 rebounds in their 78-57 win over the Buffaloes.

Fieldhouse no fun for Colorado's Harrison
By Mike Norris
mnorris@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
David Harrison doesn't like Allen Fieldhouse, and it seems like Allen Fieldhouse doesn't like him.
After the junior center picked up his fourth foul with 16:48 remaining in the second half of Kansas' 78-57 victory over Colorado, the relationship between the seven-foot center and the Fieldhouse crowd climbed to another level.
"We just told him when he came out there it's just an opportunity to grow," Colorado coach Ricardo Patton said. "That's about all you can say, and he agreed."
Ironically, Harrison probably didn't even commit his fourth foul. He was about three feet away from Kansas forward Wayne Simien when the whistle was blown.

Mizzou victorious in second round
By Jesse Newell jnewell@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
This time there were no words spoken in the Kansas and Missouri handshake line. None were needed.
The Tigers had said enough with their play.
Missouri dominated the second half in a 76-49 victory over The Kansas women's basketball team Saturday, avenging its loss to Kansas two weeks ago in Columbia, Mo. where players were involved in a scuffle after the game.
"We were more focused on just winning this game and doing whatever it took to win this game," Missouri coach Cindy Stein said, "and not really paying attention to all the other outside stuff that people wanted to put into it."
Meanwhile Kansas (8-9 overall, 1-5 in the Big 12 Conference) struggled to match Missouri's intensity, suffering its second-worst defeat of the season.
"We're just disappointed in our effort." Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "I really felt like we were going to come out this afternoon and respond to a team that was going to come in here and play with some real focus to prove something."
The Tigers more than proved themselves in the game, using 15-2 and 9-0 runs in the final 11 minutes to pull away from Kansas and take the victory.
A fast-break layup by Crystal Kemp, along with a turn-around jumpshot and free throw from Tamara Ransburg, narrowed the Missouri lead to 40-34 and sent the Allen Fieldhouse fans into a frenzy.
Missouri responded, however, with six straight points to make the lead 12 with less than 13 minutes remaining.
A key play came just one minute later, where Ransburg picked up whistles on consecutive possessions and fouled out of the Jayhawks lineup. Missouri outscored Kansas 30-13 in her absence.
Despite a poor performance, Kansas may have found a lineup that works 4B.
The Jayhawks could not overcome a dreadful shooting performance in the first half.
Kansas shot just 36 percent in the first 20 minutes, with many shots rattling out of the hoop.
Trailing by double digits for most of the game, the Jayhawks made a move in the first minutes of the second half.

Kentucky comes out on top against Notre Dame
The Associated Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Chuck Hayes scored 21 points, Gerald Fitch added 15 and No. 9 Kentucky scored 44 points inside to defeat Notre Dame 71-63 Sunday, its 10th straight victory over the Irish.
The game followed a familiar script for the Wildcats (13-2) as they opened a double-digit lead early and then held on for the victory. Notre Dame (9-6), which trailed by as many as 15 points in the first half, used a 7-0 run to cut the lead to 66-63 when Chris Quinn made two free throws with 67 seconds left.
But the Irish missed their final two shots and Kentucky scored the final five points.
It marked the fourth straight victory where the Wildcats, led by double digits, let their opponent get back in the game and then won.
Kalenna Azubuike added 14 points for the Wildcats, who shot 53 percent.
Torrian Jones and Chris Thomas each had 16 points for the Irish, who have lost three of their last four. All three losses were to ranked teams — a three-point loss at No. 8 Pittsburgh and an 11-point loss to No. 13 Syracuse.
Kentucky, which improved to 8-0 on the road this season, pounded the ball inside repeatedly during a 16-4 run early, going ahead 18-9 on a rebound basket by Fitch. Erik Daniels scored six of the 10 points the Wildcats scored inside during the run.
The Wildcats extended the lead to 32-17 when Hayes scored inside. Notre Dame scored nine points in 98 seconds, with Thomas getting five, to cut the lead to 32-26. But the Wildcats scored the next seven points and led 39-27 at halftime.

Wake Forest slumps to fourth straight defeat
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Tim Pickett scored all of his 18 points in the second half Sunday and Florida State made six straight free throws over the final 45 seconds in a 75-70 victory over No. 10 Wake Forest, which lost its fourth straight.
The win was the second in four days over a Top Ten team for the Seminoles. Florida State (14-5, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) defeated No. 7 North Carolina 90-81 in overtime on Thursday.
Wake Forest (11-4, 2-3), which lost to Texas, Duke and Georgia Tech, led throughout the second half until the final minute.
Todd Galloway's first points of the game two free throws with 45 seconds remaining, gave the Seminoles the lead at 71-70.
Adam Waleskowski and Pickett each added two free throws in the final 18 seconds to seal the win
Saturday's Big 12 Action:
Quin Snyder hopes this is the breakthrough he's been waiting for.
Missouri, one of the preseason favorites in the Big 12, was in danger of falling below .500 Saturday night against Nebraska. The Tigers missed 14 of their first 17 shots and didn't reach double digits in scoring for almost 13 minutes, trailing by as many as 10 points in the early going.
Then the Tigers (8-7, 3-2 Big 12) took off, finally putting it all together in a 72-51 victory.
The second half was all Missouri, highlighted by a 29-2 burst of dominance during which Nebraska went eight minutes between baskets. Leading the way was Rickey Paulding with 19 points and a perfect 6-for-6 at the free-throw line after his struggles cost Missouri in an overtime loss to Texas at home on Tuesday.
Now, the test will be whether Missouri can build on that effort. The Tigers play Wednesday at Colorado.
"I think we've been gaining over the last few weeks," Snyder said. "The Texas
game can knock you back, but we played well and I think we played well topight
"When you play well,you should gain confidence."
In other games Saturday, No. 24 Oklahoma State held off No. 16 Texas 72-67, No. 18 Texas Tech remained undefeated in conference play with an 80-78 victory over Texas A&M, No. 20 Oklahoma ended a four-game losing streak with a 61-49 victory over Kansas State and Baylor defeated Iowa State 63-59.
Missouri began the season ranked fifth and rose to third in mid-December before faltering. The Tigers have 12 regular-season games remaining plus the Big 12 tournament - plenty of time, they feel, to right the ship.
"Nebraska is a good team and we kind of put it to them a little bit," center Arthur Johnson said. "We're working at it, and every day we see it getting better and better."
Freshman Thomas Gardner added 17 points on 7-for-9 shooting for Missouri, matching his career high, and Johnson had 10 points.
Nate Johnson had 11 points for Nebraska (11-5, 1-4), which has lost four of five. The Cornhuskers had appeared dangerous after defeating Baylor by 26 points on Wednesday and losing by two at Texas last weekend.

Baseball ranks 8th in preseason competition
The 2004 Big 12 preseason Coaches Poll ranked the Kansas baseball team eightth in the Big 12 Conference. Topping the poll is Texas, followed by Baylor and Nebraska.
"I think this poll is a statement about how strong the Big 12 Conference is from top to bottom," coach Ritch Price said.
The baseball team has reason to be optimistic for the 2004 season. Returning three preseason All-Americans and coming off its best season in almost a decade, the team has a chance to earn a spot in the NCAA tournament.
Kansas garnered national attention last season with wins against baseball powerhouses such as Baylor, Texas and LSU.
"Our goal is to finish among the first five and make the NCAA tournament" Price said. "Anything can happen in the Big 12."
A finish among the top of the conference and an appearance in the NCAA tournament would be the first for Kansas since 1994. Ranked below Kansas in the 2004 Big 12 preseason Coaches Poll are Missouri and Kansas State. The Tigers were tabbed ninth followed by the Wildcats at 10th.

Faculty discuss ballooning athletic budgets
By Joe Bant
jbant@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Athletics, department budgets are high and getting higher, Big 12 Conference faculty say, and something needs to be done about it.
To discuss the issue, seven of the 12 conference schools sent representatives to an unofficial Big 12 faculty meeting held Jan. 14th in Kansas City, Mo. Two faculty members from the University of Kansas, professors Don Green and John Ferraro, were among those present. Both Ferraro and Green are members of the KUAC board that oversees interaction between the University and the Athletic department.
nearing and speech department at KU Medical Center.
"When we see the escalating prices, college athletics is almost on par with professional sports," said Ferraro, chairman of the
He said the faculty was advocating a return to a more proper perspective, lesser commercialization, more restraint in spending and a more equal distribution of the wealth.
Green, KU professor of engineering, echoed these sentiments.
"Athletics is an important part," Green said. "But spending is too large."
Faculty from the University of Missouri convened the meeting. MU's faculty council has already approved its own athletics reform initiative, which it circulated at the meeting for the other schools to consider.
giate Athletics. Christensen said the resolution had received the approval of Missouri's chancellor and its athletics director.
Gordon Christensen, MU professor and chairman of its faculty council, said similar resolutions had already been passed by the Big 10 and PAC 10 conferences and the Coalition on Intercolle-
Positive change will happen, he said, through the cooperation of athletics and academics.
"We're all in this together," Gordon said.
Green and Ferraro were not sure if KU would adopt the resolution, which includes such recommendations as limiting sports seasons to one semester when possible, and reducing commercialization in collegiate sports in general, but they said they accepted the spirit behind it. They said the faculty senate would discuss the issue to arrive at a definitive conclusion.
Gordon said he was optimistic at the possibility for future reform, but said it had to be a movement embraced broadly.
"No one school can really adopt reform in isolation of its
competing schools," Gordon said.
Gordon said ultimately it would be mutual benefit that pushed the athletics departments into the cooperation needed to enact change. He said the desire to reduce the cost of business and to better its public image would aim athletics in the direction of reform.
"We've started down the path," Gordon said. "There's too much at stake."
"The unfortunate aspect is that dollars are needed for a strong athletics program," Ferraro said. "I'm really at a loss as to what we can do." He said he believed the current system was such an entrenched part of collegiate culture, it would be hard for something to jar it.
Green and Ferraro did not share all of Christensen's optimism.
Lew Perkins, KU athletics
director, said he sympathized with the faculty's cause, but said he thought there was a misconception about where the athletic department's money comes from.
department of money comes from external sources," Perkins said.
Green said he realized that much of the funding given to the athletics department comes from outside sources, so it wasn't really being diverted from academics. But, he said it was still important to address the psychological consequences that come from the perception that athletics are being emphasized instead of academics.
Consequently, he said, even if that money were to be reduced, it would not necessarily be redirected into academics, a belief he said he thought many faculty members had.

Women's team tries new lineup with 3 big names
By Jonathan Kealing
jkealing@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Lost in Missouri's blow out of the Kansas women's basketball team Saturday was the success of a new "big" lineup for Kansas
The Jayhawks were able to pull within six midway through the second half,powered by a rotation featuring three big,inside players.
MARY CURTIS
With freshman forward Lauren Ervin substituting for junior forward Aquanita Burras, the big lineup also featured sophomore forwards Crystal
Bridgette W.
Ransburg
Kemp and Tamara Ransburg.
Ervin
Ervin, a McDonald's AllAmerican last year and the Jayhawks most highly touted recruit, currently averages only the sixth most minutes on the team.
Despite receiving less playing time, Ervin leads the team in all rebounding categories and is fourth in total points scored.
"Lauren has a good sense of offense, she's very mobile, and she is a great finisher," Kansas coach Marian Washington said.
Despite success when Ervin played along side Ransburg and Kemp, Washington has resisted starting Ervin.
Ervin went five-for-five from the field Saturday and scored 10 points, second most on the team.
"Defensively, we want her to become more physical," Washington said.
Ervin is second on the Kansas team in blocked siots with 26
School of Fine Arts
Washington indicated that trying a big lineup during Saturday's game was something the team would try again.
"We're flirting with a couple of different looks," Washington said.
Washington's "big lineup" — Ervin, Kemp and Ransburg — accounts for 510 of the team's 1085 points. Kemp and Ransburg average average about 25 minutes per game.
Washington's experimentation was cut short Saturday, though, because of foul trouble.
Ransurg fouled out with 11:52 left in the second half, forcing Washington to return to her normal lineup, with the addition of Ervin.
From that point, until the end of the game, Kansas was outscored 30-13.
Ervin said she enjoyed getting the chance to play in the lineup with Ransburg because of her versatility.
Ransburg is third on the team in total points with 133, an average of 8.3 per game.
"My first look is for (Ransburg), not my shot," Ervin said.
The third piece of Washington's "big lineup" is Kemp. Kemp averages 26.1 minutes per game, third on the team.
She is tied for third in rebounds with 93 and leads the team in blocks with 29.
She contributes a team-leading average of 14.2 points per game and is the only one of the three who has started all 17 games this season.
Kemp played 35 minutes in the loss to the Tigers on Saturday. She led the team with 14 points and also blocked four shots.
She pulled down five defensive boards, which were third to fellow "big lineup" members Ransburg with nine and Ervin with six.

Kemp led the Jayhawks with 14 points. Freshman forward Lauren Ervin produced 10 points on a perfect five-for-five shooting performance in 24 minutes.
The attendance of 2,877 more than tripped the average turnout
for the season.
"The fans were great on both sides," Stein said. "The environment here was awesome."
The Jayhawks will take a week off before hosting Oklahoma State at the Fieldhouse Saturday.
"I told the team that we had been playing pretty good basketball," Washington said, "so this is definitely a disappointment."
"It felt like we were at another opponent's

HARRISON: responds to taunting fans after he fouls out from game
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"He's just been a target here for a long time and that's unfortunate," Patton said.
Harrison's relationship with Kansas fans goes back to when his brother D.J. and former Jayhawk Drew Gooden disliked each other when D.J. was playing at Colorado.
As a freshman, David made remarks about the Fieldhouse crowd, and the fans have never let him forget them.
"They're on him all the time, right when he walks in," Colorado senior guard Blair Wilson said.
But the crowd was on him more than ever at the 10:33 mark of the second half when Harrison, who was not available for comments after the game, picked up his fifth and final foul.
Kansas fans had already been chanting Harrison's name throughout the second half in the same chilling tone typically used
for the Rock Chalk Chant.
dunk.
As Harrison walked off the court he was immediately escorted to the locker room by the Buffaloes assistant coach Terry Dunn.
When it was announced Harrison had fouled the crowd erupted louder than it had during an earlier J.R. Giddens dunk.
"The fans were really taunting him pretty badly behind the bench," Patton said of why Harrison went to the locker room.
"He's already frustrated, and he didn't need that."
Simien, who finished with 20 points and 15 rebounds, is a friend of Harrison off the court. But, when asked if he bothered him to hear the fans taunt his friend, he said simply, "Nope."
"When the ball goes in the air that kind of shuts off for about 40 minutes," he said.
On the court, however, it was only 14 minutes because that was all Harrison's five fouls would allow him to play.
After averaging 16 points and nine rebounds coming into yesterday's game, Harrison scored just five points to go with two rebounds.
rebounds. The poor performance came in front of a handful of NBA scouts.
After Patton reiterated that it was tough for a young man to handle the pressure of having 16,000 fans yelling at him, he acknowledged Harrison needed to learn soon.
to learn soon.
"I think they do that same thing at the next level," he said.

Crowd can't help Georgetown
The Associated Press
Georgetown filled its arena for the first time. Top-ranked Duke's Shelden Williams and Chris Duhon filled the nets.
The combination of Williams inside and Duhon outside was just too much for the spunky Hoyas to stop, even with the energy of their first sellout crowd ever at the MCI Center. Williams had a career-high 26 points and Duhon had 17 in the Blue Devils' 85-66 victory Saturday.
Williams finished 12-for-15 from the field, and his jumper at the first half buzzer was his first 3-pointer of this season.
Duhon was 7-for-9, and JJ. Redick added 15 points for the Blue Devils (16-1), who shot 61 percent in the first half and 56 percent for the game to win their 13th straight.
Duke has won by an average of 23.4 points during its winning streak and has trailed in those games by a total of about 9 minutes. Georgetown had the lead just once at 12-10.
Brandon Bowman scored 19 points for the Hoyas (11-4), who have lost four of five after a 10-0 start.
Georgetown lost to the No.1 team for the second time in 10 days, having lost 94-70 to then-top ranked Connecticut on Ian.14.

Stanford holds off USC
Chris Hernandez had 18 points, seven assists and five rebounds, and No.2 Stanford stayed unbeaten by pulling away from Southern California, 77-67.
Nick Robinson scored all 13 of his points in the second half as the Cardinal (16-0, 7-0 Pac-10) received their biggest test yet at home, where a sellout crowd of 7,391 rocked Maples Pavilion from the opening tip. Robinson was 6-for-6 in the second half.
Desmon Farmer had 19 points, three assists and three steals for USC (8-9, 3-5), which lost its third straight game.
Connecticut slumps to second straight loss
Ryan Gomes had 26 points and 12 rebounds to lead Providence to its fifth straight victory.
The Friars (13-3, 4-1 Big East) are 2-1 against ranked teams this season and handed the No. 4 Huskies (15-3, 3-1) their first conference loss of the season, 66-56.
Emeka Okafor had 19 points and 13 rebounds for the Huskies, who shot 40.7 percent from the field, their second lowest mark of the season.
North Carolina rebounds to rout Virginia
Rashad McCants scored 26 points to lead six North Carolina players in double figures as they beat Virginia 96-77.

City meter fees increase
By Laura Pate
lpate@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
It's 1 p.m. and cars are moving at a snail's pace down Massachusetts Street to find a parking spot. No vacant spots exist within a four-block radius. And what's worse, those with only a quarter to spare can no longer park for more than an hour without risk of getting a ticket.
The Lawrence City Commission increased parking meter fees from 25 cents for 90 minutes to 25 cents for an hour as of Jan.1.
Also, the fee for habitual offenders, or people who have received five overtime parking fees within a period of 30 days,
has jumped from $15 to $50.
In the spring and summer of 2003, as a part of a discussion about creating the 2004 city budget, the city began to look at increasing parking meter fees.
This fee increase will help to fund beautification efforts, such as landscaping for Massachusetts Street. The increase in fees will also fund the parking system downtown. The downtown parking system is an enterprise fund, which means that parking lots are maintained and policed solely from revenue generated by the fines in meter payments.
Lawrence's meter costs are relatively low compared to other communities, said Dave Corliss, assistant city manager and legal adviser.
"It takes money to maintain the parking spaces and to police the parking spaces," Corliss said. "Meters are a necessary evil of a scarce commodity."
As for the number of parking spots available on Massachusetts Street, Sue Hack, city commissioner said people often hold inflated expectations about parking on Massachusetts Street. Sue Hack said people would go to a mall or to Target and would walk further.
"People have a mental image of parking in a small downtown area and want to be able to park right at the store, within 50 feet." she said.
Chuck Magerl, proprietor of Free State Brewing Co., 636 Massachusetts St., said the commissioners' raise of parking meter
fees was, haphazard and was a "Band-Aid approach to increase revenue." He said although downtown was more of a pedestrian location than other shop areas in Lawrence, customers could stay away from downtown because of the extra money required to park.
Jessica Elythe, general manager of Urban Outfitters, 1013 Massachusetts St., said she doubted the raise in parking meter fees would keep people away from Massachusetts Street.
"I don't see any difference," Elythe said. "I don't think it's going to deter people or bring anyone down, so it really not that big of a difference."

Roach motel on campus
— Edited by Louise Stauffer

Kansan staff writer
When graduate student Andrew Dzialowski bought his $150 printer, he had no idea he was also buying a condo for a swarm of creepy officemates in Haworth Hall.
But about a year after he set the printer up in his office, he smelled something funny. As Dzialowski printed off pages, insect limbs and roach poop littered the pages. Eventually, when the printer jammed, he discovered about 50 roaches had made his printer their home. The printer now sits on its office floor. It still smells, and is completely ruined.
Specimens of roaches sat in test tubes on display. The roaches were found in Haworth Hall where they travel the hallways and classrooms freely.

Dzialowski, an ecology Ph.D. candidate, isn't the only one bothered by roaches. Biology students and professors who spend time in Haworth echo Dzialowski's horror stories. Students and faculty with offices in Haworth have found roaches in their backpacks, in their desk drawers, in their water bottles, in their books — even in their lunches.
Haworth Hall is infamous as the campus's biggest roach motel. At least three species of cockroaches lurk in its cracks and corners. As well as being a nuisance, the roaches could pose health problems for those who work and study there. What's worse, Haworth will probably never be rid of these pests. Effective pest control remains out of reach. The building houses living cells, mice and plants that would be wiped out by spraying insecticides.
According to Byron Young, KU-hired pest control technician with Ozark Pest Management, the most common cockroach in Haworth is the brown-banded cockroach.
Ginger Miller, entomology graduate student, said the roaches were an office or industrial-type roach.
Because American cockroaches, another species found in Haworth, like wetter climates, they tend to live in the
"It makes it an unpleasant place to be sometimes," Dzialowski said. "It's just pretty gross."
Tim Dickson ecology Ph.D. candidate
"If you go in there at night after the lights have been off for a few hours, you're almost guaranteed to find one or two really big roaches in there,"
"We probably have several species running around Haworth Hall now because
building's bathrooms and drains, Miller said. "They're more of a dorm-room roach. They like to be in places where people like to be," she explained.
But other cockroach types could also be in Haworth in small numbers, said Deborah Smith, associate professor of ecology. Smith has seen German roaches on the third floor, where she has her office.
of the number of people who've worked on roaches over the years," she said.
The irony of Haworth's problem is that much of it is home-grown. Scientists through the years have bred and kept cockroaches for experiments.
However many species make up Haworth's roach army, they make quite a few appearances. A popular place is in the bathrooms. Tim Dickson, ecology Ph.D. candidate, sees the roaches there often.
"If you go in there at night after the lights have been off for a few hours, you're almost guaranteed to find one or two really big roaches in there," he said. "You have to kind of watch them, to make sure they stay in their corners."
Dzialowski, who has kept an office in the building for six years, once had a roach fall on his head and crawl down his shirt while walking down a hallway on the sixth floor.
"I ran to the bathroom and took off my shirt, and there was a roach about that big" – he spread his fingers apart three inches – "that had fallen onto my head and crawled into my shirt." Dzialowski said.

department, said Stephen Parker, professor of Slavic languages and literature, and his legacy continues within it. It is a top-10 institution, and one of the few departments that grant doctorate degrees in the field, he said.
"In the office, he was quiet and lowkey. But he was very animated with students, making literature come alive," said Marc Greenberg, professor and chairman of Slavic languages and literatures. "He was very engaging when he talked, which led to his popularity as a teacher."
His family also remembers him for his stories. His daughter, Belinda Schuman, said that at the end of every semester, Conrad encouraged his students to write their own folklore, and he later acted the stories out at the dinner table.
His interest in Russia began with the language but eventually moved toward literature. He was considered one of the top researchers in the world on author Anton Chekhov. Conrad's work in the Soviet Union during the 1960s and 1970s was important because it was keeping legends alive that were not being taught within the country, said his wife, Galina Conrad. Galina was raised in the Soviet Union and did not come to the United States until 10 years ago. Soon after moving, she met and married Joseph. It was only then that she learned about some of her own cultural traditions.
Schuman said that Joseph's time in the

Officials predict worst deficit in U.S. history for next year
WASHINGTON — The government's budget outlook deteriorated further on Monday as the Congressional Budget Office projected nearly $2.4 trillion in deficits over the next decade, providing new fuel for an election-year battle over soaring federal shortfalls.
Textbooks bought from the KU Bookstores during the first three weeks of school will receive a full refund with receipt. Any books bought after the first three weeks of school must be returned within seven days for a full refund.

Although the report envisioned red ink ebbing to $362 billion next year and receding thereafter, it stirred up Democrats, who blame President Bush for squandering the unprecedented surpluses of just three years ago; and conservative Republicans, who say he has let the budget spin out of control.
Along with the forecast, almost $1 trillion worse than estimated in August, Congress' nonpartisan fiscal watchdog said this year's deficit would hit $477 billion. That would be a record.
The highest deficit ever was last year's $375 billion.

Gallery displays students' work
By Dave Nobles
dnobles@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For the first time at the University of Kansas, industrial design students are getting a chance to bring their projects out of a portfolio and onto a pedestal.
The School of Art and Design is showcasing the work of industrial design students in a new exhibition called Do-All. Everything from furniture and faucets to bridges and bags can be seen on display at the exhibition, which began Sundav and ends Friday.
"Anything and everything is designed by somebody in industrial design," said Sara Waelke, St. Louis senior and one of the students with work on display at the gallery.
Waelke designed a circular low-to-the-ground rocking chair from molded plywood. She said that the difficult creation process took about one month of nearly eight-hour days, but to see her work on display was worth the effort.
Her process began with image collages and nesting ideas and, after deciding on a design, ended with manually bending the wood
into the shape that she wanted.
Rocking chair aside, Waelke said that the exhibition as a whole was opening the eyes of people to the world of industrial design.
PUBLIC EXHIBITION
The show got its name from the idea that industrial designers do everything, said May Tveit, assistant professor of industrial design.
"It gives it a layer of professionalism, there's a layer of excitement for them," Tveit said. "So much of this gets tucked away to individual portfolios and there is so much more that has never been shared."
Tveit said whenever students had the opportunity to exhibit their work it brought the finished product to a higher level.
The goal of the student-organized exhibition is to allow the audience to get a better idea of what unshared material covers, according to a press-release.
Sadie Weis, Salina senior, flipped through an album outlining the production of concrete coffee tables on display in the Industrial Design Student Exhibition. The exhibition, located on the third floor of the Art and Design Building, will last until Friday.
Brad Kiefer, Clinton, Mo. graduate student, was a member of that audience. Kiefer said he had an engineering background and was accustomed to exhibitions, but that he was surprised by some of the students' innovations.
"its really great to see this combination of science functionality and art." Kiefer said.
Some members of the audience, like Mark Roland, Overland Park junior, were just getting an idea of what they would be
doing in the future.
Roland, a second year student in industrial design, said he hadn't participated in any exhibitions yet and the Do-All gallery was offering him inspiration.
"It's nice to see what I have to look forward to," Roland said.
p. m. tomorrow and Wednesday, 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday and 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday.
The Art and Design Gallery is on the third floor of the Art and Design Building, west of Budig Hall. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30

The Food and Drug Administration may soon force thousands of Americans who depend on ephedra-based dietary supplements to look for another option for energy and weight-loss.
Last month the FDA announced its intentions of pulling ephedra off shelves by March. But reports of the dangers
of the supplement were submitted to FDA eight years ago.
It was a landmark decision, marking the first time the government proposed a ban on an over-the-counter dietary supplement.
When Jay Goodbinder discovered the ban, he quickly began stockpiling the supplement.
A 1999 survey done by the Ephedra Education Council shows that between 12 million and 17 million Americans consume three billion doses of ephedra products every year.
"I don't know what I going to do when I run out," the Overland Park senior said. "I'll just deal with the fatness that comes along."
The FDA has linked the herbal supplement, designed to boost energy and help loose weight, to 155 deaths and dozens more strokes and heart attacks.
The council is funded by ephedra manufacturers and distributors throughout the country. In the past, it has favored stricter labeling requirements for ephedra-based products but is against the ban.
Heavier criticism for the dietary supplement began in February, following the death of Baltimore Orioles pitcher Steve Bechler.
Unlike other drugs, dietary
supplements do not go through pre-market safety approvals.
Ephedra affects its user physically, causing jitters, heart palpitations and an increase in blood pressure, said Ann Chapman, Watkins Memorial Health Center dietitian.
There are several alternatives to ephedra that are on the open market with many manufacturers promoting "ephedra free" products. The FDA reported the new products also are under health review.
Chapman recommends that students be aware of what
they're consuming.
"Don't take anything without doing your homework," Chapman said. "If there is no scientific evidence to how it makes you feel, don't use it."
General Nutrition Center, 520 W.23rd St., Community Mercantile Co-op, 901 Iowa St, and Lawrence Nutrition Center, 4931 W. Sixth St., all declined to comment on the ban.

State of the Union used falsely Bush should reevaluate goals
President Bush has officially begun his re-election campaign. The proof was in the State of the Union address last week.
Last Tuesday, in his 54-minute address to the nation, Bush resembled a politician giving his campaign stump speech. Shamelessly, he attempted to regroup his conservative base and draw moderate voters to put him back in office in for a second term.
Conservatives were upset that Bush hadn't taken a stronger stand on the Defense of Marriage Act, which strictly defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman. To combat this election barrier, Bush defended the act.
"Our nation needs to defend the
OUR VIEW

sanctity of marriage," Bush said.
Other key elements were left out of his speech. Bush didn't mention space exploration. Although we've been hearing of Bush's big plan to revamp the space program, he did not give an update on plans to land on the moon and then Mars.
Instead of concentrating on many issues, Bush used about half of the speech to preach the familiar rhetoric; you are still at
risk. He reinforced his anti-terrorism measures, telling Americans that terrorists were still out there and were planning more attacks. Thus, the controversial USA PATRIOT Act should be renewed.
"Key provisions of the PATRIOT Act are set to expire next year. The terrorist threat will not expire on that schedule," Bush said.
Scare tactics will not work. The State of the Union is not intended to be a campaign speech. It is meant to update the public on the status of the countrv.
Bush's speech was not an update; it was campaign fodder. As those in higher education, we shouldn't fall for it.

POLITICS
COMMENTARY
I am not quite sure when my interest in politics began. It might have been growing up with two parents in public service. It might have been the eighth-grade student government election. Or it might have been my political science classes at the University of Kansas. For whatever the reason, I believe politics is important.
Neither school of thought has all the answers. Even as a liberal, I know that knee-jerk liberals are just as bad as unwavering conservatives. Wise people recognize the points of view of both liberal and conservatives, but instead of buying into one or the other, think about the issues for themselves. In my column this semester, I will try to consider all sides of an issue before I form my opinion.
Anna D. Gregory opinion@kansan.com
Diana Carlin, graduate school dean and professor of communication studies, has worked in political polling for years. She said voters who call themselves "undecided" are target demographics for candidates.
issues, the more I find the terms liberal and conservative to be more harmful than helpful. Politicians, as well as political watchers, get caught up in being liberal or conservative and forget to think critically and independently about the issues.
With that said, the next few months will be very exciting for those who choose to lean left. The Democratic race for the presidential nomination is making history. It is not every four years that nine politicians step up to the plate, and it is certainly not every four years that they run neck and neck with each other.
Those sticker-wearing applause machines who dominate candidate events on CNN made up their minds months ago. But their votes are never enough. Instead, it's the locals standing quietly in the back, or the semi-apathetic channel surfer watching on TV, who hold the real power.
This contest has been full of surprises. Not one candidate is a shoo-in; not one candidate reigns over the others with an unbeatable margin. For most of the race former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean has been the front runner. After the Iowa caucuses, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) has taken the lead and the campaign of Sen John Edwards (D-N.C.) has been given new life. Former military general Wesley Clark and Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) will face their first test tonight in the New Hampshire primary. Voters are still not sure which candidate they want to be the face of the Democratic party in November.
It's a troubling fact of political life: In almost every election, it is the undecided voters who decide the winner.
These voters are the window shoppers of the political system, and their existence is a destructive force in American democracy. They claim they wait until the last minute in order to make the most educated decision possible.
"The candidates know who their locks are," Carlin said. "It's the undecideds that they're going after."
Read the Politics column next Tuesday for an introductory column from the other political columnists, Matt Pirotte. Pirotte will represent the Republican view.
This is when politics is fun. The race has not been decided yet and probably still won't be decided after tonight's primary. I encourage everyone to flip on the news tonight for the New Hampshire primary and watch history in the making. Be attentive, be active in politics.
The problem with this assertion is that in waiting, they virtually ensure that their votes will be little more than confused reactions to misinformation campaigns and a wave of TV and radio advertisements.
This problem is created because candidates know how the minds of voters work. Polls like Carlin's tell them a high percentage of voters don't pay any attention to an election until the very end. Most candidates save a large portion of their finds for this stretch run, pouring their money into last-ditch ads.
COMING NEXT WEEK
The terms liberal and conservative are certainly what most politicians use to describe their position on the political spectrum. Liberals traditionally stand for civil rights, public education and health care and big government. Conservatives traditionally fight to protect the capitalist system, limit social services and promote small government.
Though at times we can feel remote from the political process and our elected leaders, our attention to the issues and more importantly our active participation through voting and running for election are essential to democracy. Our involvement in politics can have an effect on public policy issues such as education, health care, taxing, spending and even war waging. The biggest mistake we can make as citizens is to not pay attention to what our elected officials are doing.
This fact also explains why the last few days of a campaign are home to all the sleazy moves and dirty tricks that turn people off of politics.
My column this semester will take a look at politics from a liberal perspective. Before I go any further on this track I must say something about this political label.

On Nov. 5, all of you will have a responsibility. You've got 10 months to prepare for it. Go online, read a newspaper or watch a debate. Remember, window shoppers never get what they really want.

pamphlets falsely notifying them that their votes would not be counted unless they paid all traffic tickets and overdue rent.
KU students are fortunate enough to have free weekly access to The New York Times, which covers political issues as well as any medium, and anyone with basic cable has their choice of all-news programming. For those who are still undecided, televised debates have been proven to be the best way to distill a candidate's message into a short, easily understandable hour. Finally, anyone with a modem has 24/7 access to every component of a candidate's campaign, as politicians recognize the power of the Internet.
Television pundits champion the undecideds they interview, saying they keep the system honest by waiting to make up their minds. But the media's motivation is selfish. After all, if voters researched the candidates and made up their minds earlier, C-SPAN would have to find something else to show 24 hours a day in the week leading up to an election. I doubt "Senate 2002: Hour 384" would receive ratings near the level of Dean's "I have a Scream" speech.
Voters everywhere know the weeks leading up to an election as the unveiling ground for a barrage of political advertisements, many of which are decidedly negative or attack ads. Politicians have learned the effectiveness of an "accuse now, verify later" mentality. Polls and focus groups such as the ones Carlin conducts have shown that the onslaught of ads and media attention confuses and disillusions voters, rather than helping them to make their decisions.
Unlike many of the dire problems facing our political system, the misplaced power of the undecided voter is an easy one to solve. Being an informed voter is not a difficult task. The information is there for the taking.

Woman helps print-disabled, blind through recording voice for service

Sitting at her desk at home, Natalie Spiens puts on a headset as her fingers move over a telephone-like device. She opens a newspaper, presses the record button and begins to read. "Música," she announces, and continues reading the rest of the article in Spanish.
Natalie Spiess, Overland Park senior, read Dos Mundos for the Audio-Reader Network on Sunday. Spiess has worked at Audio Reader since August.
Spiess, an Overland Park senior, spends about four hours each week reading the weekly newspaper Dos Mundos for Audio-Reader Network. Audio Reader, one of the first radio reading services in the world, provides free recordings of newspapers such as The Kansas City Star, The Topeka Capital Journal and The Wichita Eagle.
Listeners with visual or print disabilities can call into the station to select various publications and listen to articles.
"You pick up new words all the time," Spiess said. "It makes me focus on my reading and speaking skills."
Spiess said she first started working at Audio Reader because it was an opportunity to volunteer. She said incorporating her Spanish skills came later, when the Dos Mundos position opened. Although she has taken four semesters of Spanish at The University of Kansas, Spiess said she has learned much more from reading Dos Mundos.
Spiess has worked at Audio Reader since last August and has read Dos Mundos since the end of November. Because she has the recording system set up at her home, Spiess can read as much as she wants whenever she wants. This often leads to
Spiess re-recording articles until she is satisfied with her pronunciation.
"It's the most time consuming thing I've done for Audio Reader, but I want to do a good job," Spiess said.
Jim Boyd, supervisor of Telephone Reader — a division of Audio Reader — said Spiess was one of the most dedicated volunteers he has seen in his two years at Audio Reader.
"Her delivery is very professional. You wouldn'tguess she's a student." Boyd said.
Boyd said an average of 92 people call in to Audio Reader each month, although he couldn't provide the names of any listeners. He said this number has nearly doubled from a year-and-a-half ago, when Dos Mundos was added to the network.
Because of its growing popularity, Boyd said the network was thinking of adding more Spanish publications to its list.
Although Spiess doesn't know the names of people or how many she has reached through Dos Mundos, she said the realization that she was helping people in her community kept her coming back.
"I want to work with people, and I want to help more people's voices to be heard," Spiess said.
Boyd said there are currently about 250 volunteers at Audio Reader.85 of which volunteer for Telephone Reader.
Spiess said her first goal after graduating was to travel to Spain and learn to speak Spanish fluently.
Spiess said her friends often questioned her interest and involvement with Spanish because Spanish isn't her major. Spiess' answer usually was, "Because I love it. You might as well follow the things that make you happy."
After that, Spiess said the future was uncertain, but she might want to become an art or art therapy teacher or attend graduate school.
In the meantime, Spiess said she would continue reading *Dos*
Spiess will graduate in December with a bachelor's degree in art.

University employees reach out to Hispanic population
By Marc Ingber
minger@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A group of 18 University of Kansas employees, including many from the Edwards Campus is learning Spanish in order to improve communication between the University and the Hispanic community.
The group, which includes the vice chancellor, the associate dean, the assistant dean and others from the Edwards Campus put together and attended a Spanish class last semester. The class met twice, a week from September through December.
The class was a precursor to the Pathways Project, which is a partnership between the Edwards Campus and Kansas City Community College. The goal was to raise Hispanic enrollment.
"While we currently are not serving a significant number of Hispanic students, through the
Pathways Project we one day hope to see an increase in that population on our campus," said Elaine Warren, director of public relations at the Edwards Campus.
Now that the class is over, the group is searching for ways to retain what they learned. Warren said one of the plans the group had for this semester was to hold 30-minute review sessions each week where each member would be paired up with another to practice
"We need to continue some level
of review so we don't lose what we've gained," Warren said. "I think all the participants learned what they could in the time period we had the class and they are still maintaining an interest to continue learning now that the class is over."
Dan Mueller, academic adviser for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the class was a big help for him because he had little previous exposure to the area.
"I knew very little Spanish before the class," he said, "and
now I have a better vocabulary and know some basic Spanish phrases to use with prospective students."
Becci Blaesing, assistant director in the Corporate Foundation and Support department of KU Endowment, said the group's professor is planning to help as well.
"Our professor, Dawn Strickland, has been great," Blaesing said. "She's been proactive in establishing our follow-up to this program and has agreed to come back a few times this semester to
keep us in line and learning basic workplace Spanish."
In addition to learning Spanish, the class also provided the staff with an opportunity to hang out in a relaxed setting.
"While initially we were simply hoping to initiate a new form of communicating with a percentage of our students, the program turned out to be a great team building experience too," Blasing said.

Patriot Act parts ruled unconstitutional
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — For the first time, a federal judge has declared unconstitutional a section of the USA PATRIOT Act that bars giving expert advice or assistance to groups designated foreign terrorist organizations.
In a Friday ruling, U.S. District Judge Audrey Collins said the ban was impermissibly vague in its wording.
The U.S. Justice Department is reviewing the ruling, spokesman Mark Corallo said.
Corallo called the Patriot Act — the federal anti-terrorism statute passed in the aftermath of Sept. 11 — "an essential tool in
the war on terror" and said that the portion at issue in the ruling was a small amendment to a pre-existing anti-terrorism law.
David Cole, a Georgetown University law professor who argued the case for the HDmanitarian Law Project, declared the ruling "a victory for everyone who believes the war on terrorism ought to be be fought consistent with constitutional principles."
"It is the first federal court decision declaring any part of the Patriot Act unconstitutional," he said.
The case involved five groups and two U.S. citizens seeking to provide support for lawful, nonviolent activities on behalf of Kurdish refugees in Turkey.
"It is the first federal court decision declaring any part of the Patriot Act unconstitutional."
David Cole Georgetown University law professor
The Humanitarian Law Project said the plaintiffs may be given 15 years in prison if they advised groups on seeking a peaceful resolution of the Kurds' campaign for self-determination in Turkey.
The judge's ruling said the law, as written, does not differentiate between impermissible advice on
violence and encouraging the use of peaceful, nonviolent means to achieve goals.
"The USA Patriot Act places no limitation on the type of expert advice and assistance which is prohibited and instead bans the provision of all expert advice and assistance regardless of its nature," the judge said.
The ruling said that the plaintiffs want "the lawful, nonviolent activities" of the Kurdistan Workers' Party and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, a Tamil advocate group. Both groups are on a list issued by former Secretary of State Madeline Albright in 1997 of "foreign terrorist organizations."
Governor declares state of emergency
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Gov. Kathleen Sebelius yesterday declared a state of disaster emergency for seven counties hit hardest by an ice storm a day earlier.
Counties covered by the declaration are Geary, Jackson, Osage, Pottawatomie, Riley, Shawnee and Balaunseem. A winter storm system dropped ice and snow over large areas of northeast Kansas, accompanied by high winds.
The ice built up on power lines and temporarily cut electricity to more than 30,000 residents.

CONTINUED FROM 1A
Multiple students have found the roaches in their water bottles or soda cans and snack foods. Val Smith, professor of ecology, said he once got a mouthful of roach when he drank from a soda bottle he had left on his desk for just a few minutes.
While some students have grown used to finding dead roaches in their desk drawers and scanners, others can't seem to get used to live roaches making appearances in their personal belongings.
"I came in here the other weekend, and they were everywhere," said Erin Questad, ecology graduate student. "They were all over my books, all over my papers, just everywhere."
Not everybody thinks the roaches are a problem. Young, who has worked in the pest control business for eight years, said Haworth doesn't have what he would call an infestation. "To tell you the truth, Haworth doesn't even have a problem," he said.
Although Smith, Miller, and others are used to being around insects in their lab work. they disagree.
"We're loaded with roaches here," Smith said, referring to her third floor lab. Miller, who works on the sixth floor, said that while the problem varies between labs overall it was awful.
But apart from the "gross out" factor, working in close quarters with cockroaches can pose potential health risks as well, causing asthma or allergy attacks or spreading harmful bacteria and viruses. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the chief problem caused by high numbers of roaches is that roach carcasses and droppings, called "frass", can trigger asthma attacks and allergies.
Bryan Foster, assistant professor of ecology, is a potential sufferer of cockroach-related allergies. When he first moved into his Haworth office, there were dead roaches and frass everywhere. After he cleaned up hundreds of roach carcasses, his allergies worsened.
Foster said he has numerous allergies, but they seem to be aggravated by the presence of roaches. "I've always suspected that roaches might be involved, and I wouldn't be surprised if the problems I had in the past were amplified by them," he said.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roaches can carry 50 known pathogens, including salmonella, staph or strep viruses, and hepatitis B.
But Smith said that the common perception that roaches spread disease is largely untrue. Unlike mosquitoes that transmit diseases by biting or flies that spread diseases by contact with contaminated wastes, roaches don't bite, and they don't bring in new bacteria.
"I think largely they get a bad reputation—an undeserved reputation—for being disease-spreaders," Smith said. "I think people just don't care to have them around."
Most students and faculty feel that the problem is "bothersome" or "gross," but don't have serious complaints. However, a few express concern that the roaches may inadvertently come home with them. Young confirmed that roaches can travel along with people.
"Cockroaches will even hitch a ride with you on your shoe," he said.
Dzialowski once left a gym bag in his office that roaches quickly invaded. Rather than bringing the bag- and its stowaways -home, he

had to leave it outside in the winter cold for weeks,to kill them.
Dickson had a similar experience; he accidentally brought a roach home in his backpack. He worried that it would lead to an infestation in his home.
"That really bothered me," he said. "I can deal with roaches around the office, in my books and papers, but not where I sleep."
But like Dickson and Dzialowski, most students put up with the roach problem as best they can. Although they are dissatisfied with the number of roaches, solving the problem probably won't happen anytime soon.
The places in Haworth that the hired exterminators can spray remain limited. A number of the biology professors in the building run carefully controlled experiments involving plants, rodents or other insects. Sprayed insecticide could potentially ruin or destroy years of work.
But when the roaches seem to get too concentrated, Young responds to problem calls.
Since he can't spray insecticides, Young treats the roach problem with a gel bait called MaxForce, whose active ingredient is a chemical called fipronil. Once the roaches consume fipronil, it hyperexcites their muscles by disrupting their nervous systems.
"It's a food source. The roaches eat it, and then go back to the nest and die; and, of course, roaches are cannibalistic. So some of them will eat the dead roaches and die, too," he said.
Another component of the problem is general housekeeping of the building's human inhabitants. Since roaches are cannibalistic, dead roaches only provide more food for those that remain alive. Carcasses must be cleaned up after extermination - a step that's often missed, said Young.
The main key to it, Young said, is "sanitation, sanitation, sanitation."
"Roaches need food, shelter and water just like you and I do" he said, so good ways to control roaches are to limit water sources like leaky faucets or drains, and to keep food out of reach.
"When you have any big multi-user building, whether its apartments or building like this, it's hard to control absolutely all the conditions everywhere in the building," Smith said. "We've been trying to keep our food wastes in a trash can with a lid. But I know there are leaky faucets, food crumbs people leave around. The roaches manage to find plenty to eat."
Because of the difficulty of getting rid of the pests, the Haworth roaches are probably there to stay. Students and faculty will have to be satisfied with controlling the problem, rather than eradicating it—and that means learning to live with the roaches.
When Dzialowski graduates next year, he will have to thoroughly clean his desk and lab. This means he faces the possibility of uncovering more hidden families of roaches in other pieces of office equipment. He may even experience allergies from stirring up high amounts of built-up cockroach frass. But the worst part of it, Dzialowski said, was simply the fact that he has had to work among roaches everyday for the past six years.
He's leaving the printer when he goes.

Bears succeed despite tragedy
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It's late January. Could a guy with only one conference victory this deep into the season be a candidate for Big 12 coach of the year?
If he's at Baylor, then the answer is probably yes.
Scott Drew, the 33-year-old optimist who agreed to become the Bears' coach in the wake of tumult and tragedy, has only one conference win heading into this week.
But that's as many as Kansas State, Oklahoma and Nebraska, and one more than Texas A&M.
And none of those schools had some of their top players transfer elsewhere following the killing of one player and the resignation of their coach amid allegations of NCAA violations.
The Bears were picked for the bottom of the Big 12, and that is almost certainly where they'll end up. But they raised their Big 12 record to 1-3 and their overall mark to 6-11 Saturday with a 65-9 victory over Iowa State that brought cheers from just about every team in the league except Iowa State.
Perhaps no other coach in the Big 12 can appreciate Drew more than Nebraska's Barry Collier. Drew was Collier's student assistant at Butler.
"It's very obvious that the circumstances he's having to deal with are extraordinary," Collier said. "Just holding the program together for the time being would be a major coup."
BASKETBALL
Of course, there's a downside to playing better than everyone expected.
attention a little more, which will be more difficult for us," Drew said. "I know we're not going to feel invincible. Coaches never overlook an opponent, but players sometimes just look at a record."
Texas A&M however, has no wins to show for a group of closely played games.
"It could be one ball bouncing our way, one rebound bouncing our way," he said. "We sit here and look at our tapes, (and) with a play here and there we could be 4-0."
"When people play us now they'll be a little more focused or have their players'
Missouri coach Quin Snyder is feeling better about his Tigers, who moved to 8-7 and 3-2 Saturday with a 72-51 blowout of Nebraska.
Snyder is also dismissing any suggestions the distractions caused by the Ricky Clemons saga had anything to do with his team's December slump.
Intramural basketball meeting scheduled for tomorrow night
There will be a manager meeting for intramural basketball tomorrow at 7 p.m. in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Teams with a representative at the meeting will receive priority when scheduling time for their league.
All games during the winter season will be played between 8 p.m. and 12 a.m. Monday through Thursday at the Student Fitness Recreation Center.
There is no registration fee for students but there is a limit of 232 teams. Kenya staff report

Coach takes leave of absence because of health problems
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville coach Rick Pitino is taking an indefinite leave of absence for health reasons.
"I have been in excruciating pain the last three or four games," Pitino said Monday. "It's getting worse day by day."
Pitino, 51, said the pain was "urological related," and that he had been coaching with it for four to five months. He said doctors have ruled out prostate cancer, but he would be seeking treatment at the Cleveland Clinic.
Louisville (15-1) is ranked fourth in this week's AP Top 25.

Pitino said he did not know how many games he would miss. The Cardinals host Houston on Wednesday.

GREENE: Price expects team to reach nationals
CONTINUED FROM 12A
Price placed no lower than 19th as an individual this fall, including three top-six finishes. For the junior, the Kansas Invitational was the first individual win of his Kansas career. There is a strong possibility, though, that he could see number two in the coming months.
Kansas, however, is at somewhat of a disadvantage when it comes to preparing for the spring schedule. Cool temperatures and harsh winter conditions on the Great Plains limit the team's opportunities to play as much as
it desires. That desire to keep swinging the clubs grows even more after such a successful fall campaign.
Looking for an escape, Price, along with senior Tyler Hall, ended up in Scottsdale, Ariz., for 10 days at the end of winter break. Playing at the scenic Desert Mountain golf course, the golf team's two unofficial captains used the time to unwind and prepare for a spring season.
With Price's success comes new responsibility. He is now to the golf team what Big Dub and Ke-Freeze are to the basketball team—a veteran leader.
"I think a lot of guys are looking up to me at this point," Price said.
For a team that wasn't expected to do much this year, an impressive fall season has led to greater expectations in the spring season. Price says the team now expects to go to a place it hasn't been in recent years; nationals.
Increased expectations doesn't mean Price or his team members will change their approach. Price's laid-back manner is symbolic of the team in general. At practice, Ross Randall, the men's golf coach, doesn't resemble his
contemporaries Mark Mangino and Bill Self. His golfers plays pranks on each other, they joke around and they tease. However, hidden in the light atmosphere is a message promoting success as a team.
The jayhawks have had great individual performers over the years under coach Ross Randall, but he's always preached a "team-first" attitude. Although, as the team continues to build on one of its most successful fall seasons in recent memory, having a presence like Price certainly won't hurt.

LUBBOCK, Texas—Brandon Mouton hit a three-point shot at the buzzer to force overtime and Royal Ivey made two free throws with 17 seconds to play to lift No. 16 Texas to a 62-61 victory over No. 13 Texas Tech last night.
Texas ekes out victory over its in-state rival
Mouton's 22-foot shot off a crosscourt inbounds pass with 2.6 seconds left tied the game at 55.
Texas missed the front end of a one-and-one. Tech's Andre Emmett grabbed the rebound and called a time-out. Jarrius Jackson missed a long three-point shot at the buzzer to snap Tech's 12-game winning streak.

Student-athletes succeed in class
By Joe Bant
jbant@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Laura Lavole typically loses three hours every day to track practice and her weekends to meets, but the Springfield, Mo., senior still managed to pull straight As last semester.
A member of the women's track and cross country teams, she was one of the 32 student-athletes who earned a perfect GPA last semester.
Two hundred and nine others with above a 3.0 GPA made the Athletics Director's Honor Roll, in what Athletics Department officials are calling another successful academic semester.
"The outstanding academic performance of so many of our student-athletes is a credit to many people at KU," said Lew Perkins, Kansas athletics director.
Lavie's women's cross country team had the highest GPA with an average
"The outstanding academic performance of so many of our student-athletes is a credit to many people at KU."

Kansas athletics director
3. 41. Her track team was second highest at a 3.22. Four other teams also earned average GPAs that were above a 3.0.
The football team had the lowest average with a 2.26, down from last spring's 2.53.
For Lavoie to enjoy the same success she did last semester, she'll have to balance her academic priorities with her rigorous practice schedule.
She said the support of her coaches was instrumental in helping her achieve academic success.
"If I have a test, if I have to meet with a
professor, my coach really tries hard to work around it., Lavio said.
The Athletics Department says students like her are what make it possible to have a successful student support program in Kansas athletics.
"It's the students who have to get the job done," said Paul Buskirk, associate athletics director for student support services. "If the students weren't committed in the first place, we could throw our resources left and right, and it wouldn't do any good."
Buskirk credits these students along with support programs for high GPAs.
Buskirk said there were three main components to the student-athlete support program at the University: an academic council that helped integrate new athletes into the University, a comprehensive tutoring program and a life skills program. He said all of these were important in facilitating the off-the-field success of Kansas' athletes.
Matt Carazo, Salina junior, is a tutor for the Athletics Department and said he appreciated the pressure athletes were under to perform well athletically and academically.
"They have to juggle practice and class and homework and other outside commitments." Carazo said.
Carazo said he tutored in chemistry and math, but he also tried to help with more general skills like time management and studying.
Buskirk said it was important for academics to remain the central focus of Kansas athletics.
"If we ever get to a point where academics is a less or even equal priority as athletics, we may as well professionalize and go home," Buskirk said.

Players make time for studying

By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Kansas basketball players make millions of dollars for the University, they are adored by fans of all ages and they patiently sign what seems like endless autographs for kids after home games.
However, it's sometimes forgotten that they are still students, stressing from the same anxieties that come with hefty class schedules.
Add late nights and piles of homework on top of daily practices, conditioning and traveling, the workload they shoulder is enough to make most crumble.
But ask the players, and they'll tell you it's really no sweat.
"Right now everything's good, because you get a syllabus and you go home," junior guard Michael Lee said. "When you start getting papers and tests, I wouldn't say it it gets stressful, but it's nothing nobody's not used to by now."
Eric Braeny/Kansan
During the five week holiday, the players' only chance to go home was Dec. 22-26. For the rest of these five weeks, the team played eight games, finishing with a mark of 6-2. The remainder of the Jayhawks' games in the regular season will be Big 12 Conference foes, and will entail playing 12 games in six weeks. That means instead of having practice at 10 or 11 in the morning and stress-free evenings, classes will fill their morning hours, followed by late afternoon practices and hitting the books into the late hours the night.
While studying can be mentally taxing, the physical price the players pay each day on the court makes focusing on school work even more difficult. Even after a game, there are tutoring sessions and near all-nighters. In the minds of the veteran players, the key to keeping their composure stems back to one of the
most natural and necessary human functions.
Junior forward Michael Lee attempted to drive past a Colorado defender during Sunday's Jayhawk victory at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks will face in-state rival Kansas State in Manhattan on Wednesday.
Also returning to form on Sunday was freshman forward David Padgett, who played his second game since returning from a stress fracture in his left foot. Padgett had six points in 11 minutes, playing early once senior forward Jeff Graves got into foul trouble.
"This is the most healthy we have been all year, since the Michigan State game." Self said. "This is about as whole as we have been this year."
"You've got a game, and you get back at three in the morning, then still have to get up for class in the morning, and then still have practice that day," junior guard Aaron Miles said. "You've got to find time to rest. Sleeping's important to anybody, not just athletes."
Awards Outlook — A watchlist of the top 30 midseason candidates for the
The process the players use to maintain a level head on and off the court is no secret. They follow the same mantra given to thousands of college students by their worried mothers when heading off to school each fall.
Forwards Feelin' Fine — Junior forward Wayne Simien said Monday he felt 100 percent during Sunday's game against Colorado. It was the best he has felt in a long time, he said, and it showed with his 20 points and 15 rebounds. However, Simien still gets nagged by a minor groin injury from time-to-time, and coach Bill Self is taking precaution, playing him in practice only two out of every three series.
John R. Wooden Award, given annually to the nation's top men's college basketball player, was released Monday afternoon. The only Kansas name to appear on the list was Simien. The junior has averaged 15.7 points and 9.7 rebounds per game in 14 contests this season.
Other notable names on the list include Connecticut's Emeka Okafar and Ben Gordon, Duke's Chris Duhon, St. Josephs' Jameer Nelson and Texas Tech's Andre Emmett.
"Time management," Lee said. "You know you have practice and you know you have other things to do. Most of the time, and I've tried it in the past, we just try to get through our day without preparation, but it just doesn't work like that." Kansas Basketball Notebook

For every Wayne Simien or Keith Langford on this campus, there's an Andrew Price.
Price, a junior on the University of Kansas men's golf team, emerged from his cocoon last summer. The highlight came when he shot a 64 at the U.S. Open qualifier held near his hometown of Lake Forest, Ill.
The round — probably the best one he's ever played — landed him on the pages of the Chicago Sun-Times. But the lanky up-and-comer took it all in stride.
Everyone knows who Simien and Langford are. However, far fewer have ever heard of Price. If you don't know yet, you will probably know soon.
Price exudes a quiet confidence. Though he looks sleepy-eyed and perhaps overly relaxed, he is primed to be the team's driving force this spring.
Price and the team started the season unsuccessfully, finishing 12th at The Ridges Intercollegiate in Tennessee. But the Jayhawks never looked back after that, finishing no lower than seventh in their next four tournaments heading into the winter. The surprising fall semester also included a win at the Kansas Invitational in September.
Though five of the Jayhawks who participated placed in the top-30, Price was the highlight of the tournament. He shot a nine-under-par, 207 over three days, including a five-under, 67 in the opening round.

Coalition names candidates
Blake Swenson, Kevin McKenzie of Delta Force will attempt to defeat KUnited in this spring's Student Senate election
By Andy Marso
amarso@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Blake Swenson is getting ready for the busiest semester of his life. The Topeka senior is in the midst of his first year as an off-campus senator, but Senate and school aren't all he'll be juggling soon. Swenson will run for student body president this April after securing the Delta Force coalition's nomination. His running mate will be Kevin McKenzie, Salina sophomore.
Swenson was nominated at a November Delta Force meeting, after a run-off with another coalition member. It was a moment he had been hoping for
since watching last year's Delta Force campaign end in defeat.
"I saw the dejected faces at our party last year as the results came in and I knew this group could do big things on campus to make this university better," Swenson said. "My brother was with me and I turned to him and said, 'I think I want to run next year.'"
T

Force, only Justin Mills has ever been elected student body president. Mills and running mate Kyle Browning won the 2002 election.
Swenson ran for a Senate position with Delta Force last year. He lost his election, but gained a spot as a replacement senator this year.
Kevin McKenzie's brother, Scott McKenzie, a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator and five-year Delta Force member, said he saw some similarities between Mills and Swenson.
"What's great about both these guys is that they try to include everybody," Scott McKenzie said. "Some politicians work by having a small core group of supporters, but these two try to get different perspectives, get different people involved."
Swenson said getting a diverse group of students involved in Delta Force's campaign would definitely be a priority.
He said he had already contacted 85 leaders of student groups and asked them to run with Delta Force. Those leaders included members of the greek community.
"We want to help people get over the idea that Delta Force is anti-Greek," Swenson said. "We're not anti-greek. We want to work with people who want to make the University better and I know there are greeks that want that."

State cuts balance bigger budget New budget could mean higher tuition
SEE DELTA FORCE ON PAGE 8A
By Ron Knox
rknox@kansan.com
Kansan stuff writer
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' budget for fiscal year 2005 plays a give-and-take game with the University of Kansas' money and could result in higher fees for students, said Lindy Eakin, vice provost for administration and finance.
The budget proposal, released Jan. 19, called for increases in the budget of all six Board of Regents universities, including the University of Kansas.
Examples of non-personnel expenditures include utilities, technology programs and landscaping. The reductions could force income-based programs like housing to increase fees for next year.
"They'll tell you how much the University will receive," Eakin said. "What they don't tell you is what we're giving up in other places."
Those reductions in other places will result in a 10 percent cut in non-personnel expenditures.
But Sebelius' ongoing struggle to cut money from the state's operating and spending budgets will erase almost all monetary gains the University could receive.
"Housing will have to look really hard
at what they are going to do," Eakin said.
Along with housing, programs like parking and continuing education could see cuts in their operating budgets as well, Eakin said.
But large financial reserves allow those programs to maintain student's fees unlike housing, which suffers from low reserves and higher operating costs.
"If they don't have it in reserves, the money will have to come from somewhere." Eakin said.
The Housing Department has not yet been contacted by the Provost Office regarding the possibility of budget cuts and could not comment.
If housing does increase fees, the increases would not take effect until next year. Eakin said.
The possible cuts stem from a new mandate in Sebelius' budget designed to repair the relationship with some civil service employees.
Sebellus' proposed budget authorized a 3 percent increase in state employees' salaries, a marked raise after three years of nearly no increases because of state financial turmoil.
The total increase equaled more than $19 million for all state universities, or about $3.27 million for the University of Kansas.
Gov. Sebelius' proposed 2005 budget
Amount added to state employee raises:
$3,272,623
Amount taken away by Budget Efficiency Savings Team:
$3,247,856
Total remaining amount added to KU budget:
$24,767
The gap leaves about $25,000, which is not nearly enough to fund the 3 percent employee raise outright.
But because of cuts authorized by the Administration's Budget Efficiency Savings Teams, a program Sebelius installed to trim the state budget, the University will lose more than $3.2 million—almost the entire amount of the allocated budget increase.
So the University must find the money elsewhere, typically from a program that collects fees to support its services.

New bill could boost bioscience industry
By Becca Evanhoe bevanhoe@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A $500 million plan designed to promote Kansas' bioscience industry could new resources to the University of Kansas.
Provost David Shulenburger said he thought the plan would benefit the state and that he was optimistic about money it could bring in to the University.
With new companies comes more money, and a better economy for Kansans in general.
The 10-year plan is two-fold: funding bioscience research will create new products and patents.
The Kansas Economic Growth Act, presented yesterday by state Rep. Kenny Wilk (R-Lansing) and state Sen. Nick Jordan (R-Shawnee), would fund science research, which their hoping will lead to more jobs.
Also, the state will provide ways for these innovations to turn into companies through a series of programs.
Bioscience research, which includes drug manufacturing and medical supplies, is a hot topic in research.
The U.S. Federal Reserve estimates that biosciences will make up 15 to 18 percent of the U.S. economy in the next 20 years.
In the bill, Jordan and Wilk propose to match federal grants for research, fund new labs and equipment and partner the University's researchers with corporations.
If passed, the plan claims it will create more than 20,000 jobs in the biosciences industry, almost doubling the current amount of such jobs in Kansas.
While Jordan and Wilk hope that the plan will make the State a leader in the biosciences industry, University researchers hope that they will be able to cash in on the funding and new facilities that the bill promises.
"This is something that KU has been positioning itself for for some time," said Jeff Aube, chair of the medicinal chemistry department.
If the state becomes more involved and committed, Aubé said, then the result can only be progress.
Jack Fincham, dean of the school of pharmacy, agreed.
"I see it benefiting us because it highlights biomedical research, which is one of the main things this school is known for," he said.
Part of the bill details the formation of the Kansas Bioscience Authority, which would have the task of recruiting star professors and scholars to the state, aiding commercialization and funding the initiative.
Should the bill pass, the University could see some of the funds by the next fiscal year, Shulenburger said.

Scientist presents proof of cougar to committee
By Marc Ingber
mingber@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Since it was first spotted, the infamous West Campus mountain lion has caused quite a stir.
Now, the Kansas House Environment Committee wants some information from the man who said the mountain lion does exist.
Yesterday, the committee called upon Mark Jakubauskas, a research assistant professor at the University of Kansas and part of the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Program, to report on his findings.
In a two-page statement Jakubauskas said that there was indeed a mountain lion, or cougar as it is commonly called, living around West Campus.
mal was a cougar.
"There are a couple photos that show what may or may not be a cougar depending on who you talk to," he said. A DNA test was conducted on scat, or animal droppings, Jakubauskas found in October. The test proved the ani-
The Kansas Department of Wildlife was hesitant to acknowledge the cougar, according to Jakubauskas.
Matt Peek, a wildlife biologist with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, and Charlie Lee of Kansas State University Research and Extension, said they assumed the West Campus cougar was not wild because it was in a highly populated area.
"The thing is, if a bunch of them start breeding, it doesn't matter if they are wild or a former pet," Jakubauskas said.
He said that there have been previous examples of wild cougars in populated areas. One was hit by a driver south of the Kansas City International Airport in fall 2002 and another was captured in a busy neighborhood in Omaha, Neb. in October of 2003.
Because cougars were spotted in the states surrounding Kansas, Jakubauskas said it was likely that there could be some
in Lawrence too.
"It's hard to believe they respect political boundaries," he said, referring to the Kansas state border.
According to Jakubauskas, the Web site www.easterncougarnet.org said the West Campus cougar was the only scientifically confirmed sighting in Kansas and listed several unconfirmed sightings.
Jakubauskas said he received seven reports of cougar sightings from people around West Campus.
He found that more than 100 permits had been issued in Kansas for people to own and raise cougars. Though it isn't a popular pet, Jakubauskas said it would be easy to purchase one on the Internet.
"Most people wouldn't like the idea of a cougar walking around in their backyard," he said. "I know I wouldn't."
SenEx amends lobbying
- Edited by Amanda Kim Stairney

Kansas staff writer
University of Kansas faculty members and unclassified staff want a larger presence in lobbying at the capital.
At yesterday's University Senate Executive Committee meeting, Pam Houston, the unclassified professional staff association representative, said the University's lobbying efforts should be a more coordinated effort.
"We've got an office of highly paid individuals to provide results and who can do a better job." Houston said.
Houston said the committee could have benefited from more University Relations assistance before lobbying in Topeka last year.
knowing how to approach legislators in their offices would help.
"We are taking vacation time," Houston said. "We are planning things and we want to look professional."
Ray Davis, SenEx chair, said that there hadn't been much faculty involvement for salary increases at the capital. He said he would invite University Relations officials to SenEx to find out what the faculty's roll should be.
She said pointers such as
"We haven't gotten into that game," Davis said. "It tends to look self-serving."
Self-service might hinder faculty lobbying efforts, said Andy Knopp, student body president. Knopp said the Legislature didn't see the faculty starving and didn't understand the need for higher salaries to keep the University competitive.
Kevin Boatright, associate executive vice chancellor for University Relations, said he wanted to increase communication with faculty and classified and unclassified staff to keep them better informed of activities at the capital.
Boatright said that how much each group would be involved in lobbying efforts was up to the individual governing bodies.
"We've assisted them in the past and we will do it again," Boatright said.
Boatright said a "KU at the capital day" in March was being contemplated and might be a good opportunity for faculty to meet legislators. Davis said the faculty wanted to help lobbying efforts.
"We want to know if this is a good idea," Davis said. "We don't want to cause problems."

Congratulations, Kevin Willmott; 'CSA'a success
A local director and KU faculty member is making news for the University of Kansas.
Kevin Willmott's film, CSA: Confederate States of America, debuted Jan. 17 at the Sundance Film Festival.
The satirical look on what the country would have been like had the South won the Civil War premiered to four sold out shows at the festival. Last week, IFC Films purchased the distribution rights to his film.
Willmott's accomplishment should not go unnoticed. Students and faculty alike should congratulate him because the

accomplishment by Willmott runs deeper than just having his movie shown at the 11-day event. Well-known director Spike Lee agreed to put his name on the film.
Lee and Willmott share the same agent who told Lee about the movie. After viewing Willmott's film, he was stunned. The
movie then opened as "Spike Lee presents a Kevin Willmott film."
The annual event is host to hundreds of independent movies each year, some that have gone on to win Oscars. The festival has included movies such as Hoop Dreams, The Full Monty and In the Bedroom.
Even more impressive is the fact that Willmott is the first filmmaker to live in and make a film in Kansas and to be invited to the festival.
The Junction City native filmed the movie in Humboldt, Lawrence and Kansas City, sometimes having to ask for
favors such as borrowing costumes for the low-budget film.
But despite being low-budget, it raised the eyebrows of one of the most acclaimed directors, especially in the genre of racial films.
Everyone at the University should take pride in the fact the movie is garnering so much attention. It would also be wise to enroll in one of his film classes he teaches at the University.
Willmott and everyone involved with the film at the University should be commended. Professor Willmott: congratulations from the Kansan editorial staff.

For example, if you don't make it to class consistently on Fridays, examine the cause. If you find that you are at the bar until 2 a.m. Friday, you might have found the problem. Try leaving at 1 a.m; it might make the difference. The brave among us can try to find out what motivates us to stay out so late. But in the end it doesn't matter.

Student Senate, please update your Web site; some students will care what you are doing
While surfing the Internet, should you stumble away from porn, this is the link that greets you on the University of Kansas Student Senate Web site: "What is senate doing for you?"
COMMENTARY
I will not give you the answer. The text is too blurry to be read clearly.
Before you get too offended at the porn reference, don't kid yourself. Internet porn is a one billion dollar industry; chances are more than a few of you maintain this hobby. Senators might even delve into the world of porn. And because they might be busy with this, that might explain why this link I described contains so little. To correct this problem, I'm going to write them a letter and explain what I've found.
Dear Senate, my name is Jeff. You might remember me. Last year I was on the executive staff, served as a hold-over senator and so on. I've also been involved in a few campaigns, one of the few activities more fun than Internet porn. Recently, however, I've decided to become the Senate commentator for
Jeff Allmon opinion@kansan.com
For those of you that aren't student senators, you can read on, or just continue looking at porn. If you are choosing porn at this point, please come back next week.
Senate, there is something you should know. Your Web site, by and large, is empty, and most of the information available is outdated. I know that with student funds you employ a communications director and a webmaster. So what exactly do they do? I'm kind of new to this whole reporting thing, and your Web site seemed like a good place to find information about you. I can say that right now, you haven't given me much to write about. I just have no idea what you're doing right now.
The University Daily Kansan.
So I'm left with a dilemma. Are you so busy with Internet porn that you fail to
accomplish anything? Or is it that you become so tired from accomplishing great things that you then don't get a opportunity to communicate it? And instead you lazily peruse Internet porn?
Know this, Senate. To the average student who tries to find out what you are up to, this is a problem. As you can see, this lack of information has left me with nothing to do but speculate. I speculate a porn obsession. That may seem a little crazy, but as I was in your shoes once. I know I can't be too far off.
Now, however, I've become a researcher first and a columnist second. That means that in the future I'm going to have to dig a little deeper, past your empty Web site to find out about you.
That stated, I'm hoping this column can be a space for increased dialogue between you, the rest of Senate and us; the masses of apathetic student voters whose money you spend. To that extent, criticism will be applied liberally and without hesitation.
Understand that you are in no way without flaw. And that correcting those flaws will only occur when those flaws
are confronted.
For now, don't worry about the porn obsession; that doesn't actually exist. Do, however, worry about the vast majority of students who know nothing about you, and who, thereby, care even less about what you do. Who knows what they think about you?
So, here's the deal. Right now the lines of communication between you, the Student Senate, and the rest of the campus aren't working very well. The Web site is lacking. Even most Kansan articles seem to show you doing little more than hosting meetings and funding groups. But I know that cannot be true. Jonathan Ng, former student body president, always liked to point out that 90 percent of what Student Senate did was not at the meetings.
It is possible that if we, the students, knew more about you, there would be times that we are mildly concerned with what you do and how you do it.
Love always, Jeff

Pet adoption a big responsibility
Megan True/Kansan
By Steve Vockrodt
svockrodt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Amelia Murtagh, Lawrence senior, played with a dog named Marla from the Humane Society yesterday afternoon. Murtagh said she was planning on adopting Marla.
CAROLYN HALL
As a self-described animal lover, Lawrence resident Courtney Deutsch knew owning a dog was something she wanted to do.
Midge Grinstead, director of the Lawrence Humane Society, 1805 E. 19th St., said many of the students who came in looking for pets had not thought about all that is involved with pet ownership.
When she graduated last spring, Deutsch realized she was finally ready to take on such a responsibility. She doubts most college students could handle the commitment involved in owning a pet.
"I'd say only if you're going to be ready to take on the responsibility and if you're going to be available." Deutsch said.
Some students get approved, but many are less than truthful about whether they can handle the time and money costs, as well as whether their landlords will allow pets in their living quarters. Grinstead said.
Deutsch originally found her dog, Rowdy, after looking for pets in the area on www.petfinder.com. The Web site directed her to the Humane Society.
The Humane Society functions as a substitute for a pound in Lawrence. The city does not otherwise have a location for stray and abandoned pets. Grinstead estimates stray and abandoned cats and dogs make up 60 percent of the Humane Society population.
Adoption at pet shelters such as the Humane Society entails more risks than at traditional pet stores or breeders because a pet's history is usually unknown.
"Even with owner turn-ins, people are not honest," Grinstead said. "They try to rationalize that their pet will have a better chance at being adopted."
"I think we're not doing a good enough job at educating people on the life changing event that it is."
Midge Grinstead Director of the Lawrence Humane Society
Rescued pets at the Humane Society receive a temperament test approved by the American Humane Association.
The process involves testing the pets' reaction to humans and other pets to determine its level of aggression and its chances of being adopted.
Prospective owners also are subjected to a test.
Typically, about 2 to 3 percent of pets that are adopted at the humane society are returned by owners who realize they can't handle the responsibility. Last year the rate rose to its highest rate yet. 5 percent.
To reduce the chances of adopted pets coming back, the application looks into property ownership and work or school hours to gauge how available owners will be for their pets. The Humane Society also calls landlords to make sure the lease allows pets.
"We typically deny twice as many applications as we approve," Grinstead said.
The Lawrence chapter of the Humane Society return rate pales in comparison to the nationwide rate at 25 percent.
"Most of them were puppies." Grinstead said. "I think we're not doing a good enough job at educating people on the life-changing event it is."
Upon approval, a 535-adoption fee is mandatory, and Kansas state law requires adopted pets to be spayed or neutered. The owners can pick their own vet for the procedure that typically costs
around $60 for dogs.
Deutsch estimated the initial costs of owning Rowdy included accessories such as a leash, grooming, food and water dishes and cages. All together, the cost was more than $200.
Aside from costs, the main difficulty in owning the pet was having it adjust to the new environment.
Travel arrangements become difficult when Deutsch has to leave town to make sure her dog is
Otherwise, Deutsch has been very happy with the experience of adopting the pet from the Humane Society.
cared for.
Still, she insists students should think critically before deciding to adopt a pet.
"Not unless you are a big animal-lover and you've really thought about it," Deutsch said. "Don't do it on a whim."

Team questions cause of ice age
By Bocca Evanhoe
bevanhoe@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
From the sky comes a blinding flash of light. The sky darkens into a murky tea color, the air turns cold and acid rains from the sky. Creatures on land and in the sea die by the thousands.
No, it's not something on the Sci-Fi Channel; it's a cosmic extinction that may have happened millions of years ago, according to a new theory from a research team at the University of Kansas.
Fossil records show that two-thirds of the Earth's species died in a mass extinction 440 million years ago. For decades, scientists have attributed the extinction to an ice age. But the research team, led by Adrian Melott, has a different idea about what may have happened.
"We realized there was this pattern sitting there, staring us in the face," said Melott, professor of physics and astronomy.
The team proposed that a high energy beam called a gamma-ray burst, or GRB, blasted from deep space and irradiated the earth. High energy gamma ray beams come from giant, dying stars called supernovae.
In Melott's theory, the GRB may have unleashed a chain reac
Larry Martin, team member and curator of invertebrate paleontology at the University's Natural History Museum, said that the idea that gamma-ray bursts have probably occurred in Earth's history has been around for about five years. Martin also said that the University's team was the first to introduce a theory that could be applied to a recorded extinction.
tion in the atmosphere, destroying the ozone layer and resulting in the second largest extinction in Earth's history.
The gamma ray theory may turn out to be an important key to understanding evolution of life on Earth, Martin said.
According to the team's theory, the kick could have been a GRB within 10,000 light years of Earth, which unleashed a blinding flash of light and a lot of heat upon impact.
"Early life took a long time to amount to much," Martin said. "It might be that every time life made a real run for it, it got a kick."
When the earth's atmosphere absorbed the energy, molecules of nitrogen and oxygen in the ozone layer blasted apart and recombined into a nasty mix of nitrous oxides — the chemicals that lead to smog and acid rain.
direct results," Martin said. "But the nitric oxide stuff gets blown around, so it'd get to us eventually."
"Ifa GRB went off on the other side of the earth, say China, they'd get the flash of light, the
The thick layer of brown smog-like gas that formed high up in the atmosphere from the nitric oxides blocked sunlight and cooled the planet, possibly triggering the ice age mentioned in earlier theories.
But that's not all. With the ozone layer destroyed, ultraviolet light would have penetrated Earth's surface at levels 50 times greater than today.
Melott said that the penetration of UV light onto land and sea was the key to the theory. Ultraviolet light "fades" as it goes deeper into water, the same way a flashlight beam does. So creatures that live or reproduce in shallow water were more likely to become extinct than those living in deeper waters.
That's exactly the pattern that Bruce Lieberman, associate professor of geology, observed in the fossil record. He noted higher extinction rates for shallow-water dwellers like trilobites — the hard-shelled precursors to crabs and insects — and plankton.
The research is based on a NASA computer model of a simulated supernova explosion on Earth's atmosphere. Melott and others presented the theory at the January meeting of the American
Astronomical Society.
The theory, which is already creating a splash in the scientific community, will not be published in the International Journal of Astrobiology until later this semester. However, the hypothesis has already been reported in international publications such as New Scientist, Nature, and CNN.com.
Claude Laird, team member and adjunct assistant professor of physics and astronomy, said that the hypothesis has been met with a healthy amount of skepticism, mostly because of the lack of quantitative data.
"We don't have a smoking gun, but we wanted to get this out for other scientists to chew on," Laird said. "Like most theories, ours generated a normal amount of controversy. It'll either stand the test of time or it won't."
Melott said that the greatest result of the research, from a scientific perspective, was a greater understanding of the Earth's life history.
The team will continue to work with NASA to make more specific computer models. Lieberman and Martin will look more closely at fossil records to find other creatures that match the pattern of extinction.

Auto dealers worry about state sale
TOPEKA — Someauto dealers worry that the state's plan to unload hundreds of underused vehicles will hurt the used-car market in northeast Kansas.

announced in November that the state would sell off the vehicles and purchase far fewer new ones to help save $8.6 million.

More than 700 state-owned cars, trucks and vans will be available for sale to the public at
around the state was too great," he said. "So we decided to keep them centralized in one spot."
Though the Kansas Department of Administration was aware of the car dealers' concerns, agency spokesman Caleb Asher said the state had to sell the vehicles in the most efficient way possible.
R. R. Anderson, owner of Anderson RV Sales in Topeka and a longtime car dealer, estimated the state sale will hurt the used car
"The cost of taking them
While state law requires dealers to sell vehicles with a warranty, the state is selling the vehicles "as is."
A complete listing of vehicles is posted on the Kansas Department of Administration Web site.
In a separate phone call to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, Stonecipher told the governor he did not even know about the study cited in the article.
"Mr. Stonecipher expressly said that he has not seen, reviewed or approved any plans to sell or close the Boeing Wichita facility since his return as CEO of Boeing," Tiahrt said. "He stated the future of Boeing will always include Wichita."
The Associated Press
The Associated Press
Stonecipher said he was "blind-sided" by a weekend story in The Seattle Times reporting the Chicago-based company is considering the sale of its 75-year-old manufacturing facility in Wichita, said Rep. Todd Tiddt (R-I'am).
Stonecipher's comments came on a conference call with Tiahrt and Republican Sens. Sam Brownback and Pats Roberts. Tiahrt said.
WICHITA — Boeing Co. chief executive Harry Stonecipher reassured Kansas politicians yesterday his company's future will always include Wichita.
"He was very positive and very clear about the fact the Boeing Wichita plant is a very strategic part of the Boeing operation," Sebelius said. "He sees the plant as quite productive. ... I was very relieved to hear his positive reassurances, which he made over and over again."
Boeing not selling Wichita factory
The company had steadfastly refused to confirm or deny the story, in which The Times cited an internal Boeing planning document.
Brownback said he would not categorize Stonecipher's comments as a categorical denial of the Times' story. Brownback said there are frequently ongoing studies on restructuring going on at
the company.
Asked why the company waited until yesterday to dispel rumors of a sale, Tihart said the company apparently has a policy of neither confirming or denying such stories. He said Jeff Turner, general manager of Boeing's Wichita facility, also initially gave him the same response.
"As a standard matter of policy in dealing with all news media, especially financial media, we never comment on rumors about sales, acquisitions and/or mergers," said Doug Kenneth, a spokesman for Boeing in Washington, D.C.
Stonecipher was scheduled to arrive in Wichita on last night for a previously scheduled visit to the plant.
Dick Ziegler, a spokesman for Boeing in Wichita, said Stonecipher was coming to the plant look at its programs and visit with its leadership. He will not be available to the media.
The Wichita facility makes sections of all Boeing jetliners, except the 717, including the entire fuselage of the 737 and 757 models. The modification work on the company's refueling tankers is also done at the facility, as is work on a military airborne laser program. The Wichita plant also has been picked to build the forward section of Boeing's proposed 7E7 jetliner.
"Stonecipher pointed out you can't build a Boeing plane without Boeing Wichita." Tiahart said.
Roberts, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said he was happy to hear Stonecipher say that any kind of plan for restructuring in Wichita would not involve the company's defense business there.

Kerry wins New Hampshire primary
The Associated Press
MANCHESTER, N.H. — John Kerry overpowered Howard Dean to win New Hampshire's primary Tuesday, scoring a second-straight campaign victory to establish the four-term senator as the Democratic Party's presidential front-runner.
Kerry
"It's an enormous victory, a huge turnaround," Kerry told The Associated Press. "We were written off for months, and plugged on and showed people the determination we have to defeat President Bush."
Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina and retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark were in a distant race for third.
Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut was in fifth place, his candidacy in peril.
After trooping through coffee shops, country stores and living rooms of Iowa and New Hampshire, the candidates now move
to the cold realities of a national campaign — airport rallies and multimillion-dollar ad buys in seven state holding contests next Tuesday.
With 70 percent of the precincts reporting, Kerry had 39 percent, Dean had 25 percent, Clark 13 percent, Edwards 12 percent, and Lieberman 9 percent.
He did manage about twice as many votes as either Edwards or Clark, and found solace in gaining ground since his disastrous third-place finish in Iowa.
Dean, the former five-term governor of Vermont, lost by double-digits _ less than he needed for a complete rebound or to erase doubts about his viability.
"It looks like we are going to finish a solid second," said Dean, who with Kerry is flush with money and support needed to wage a lengthy campaign.
Looking toward next week, Dean insisted he will "play to win in every single state," overruling aides who urged a more cautious approach.
The former Vermont governor plans to compete in South Carolina, Missouri, New Mexico and Arizona, which holds contests
next Tuesday; Michigan and Washington state four days later; and Wisconsin, with its contest Feb.17.
Several Dean advisers had urged him to pick fewer targets, cherrypicking states to conserve resources, but he vetoed the strategy, insisting that his campaign was muscular enough to compete nationally.
News Now.
Dean has raised more than $200,000 in the 24 hours before the primary, but he has been spending money just as fast as raising it — and he will keep up the pricey pace with his new strategy.
Kerry also pledged to compete everywhere, but his twin victories should fuel the drive.
An AP analysis of the delegate count showed Kerry winning 14 delegates and Dean capturing eight, while Edwards and Clark appeared to finish below the 15 percent vote threshold needed to win any delegates.
His eye warily cast toward the fall, Bush planned a trip to New Hampshire to counter criticism heaped his way during the Democratic race. He used a similar tactic after Iowa's caucuses, scheduling his State of the Union address
one day after that contest
It has been a topsy-turvy race, with Dean leading New Hampshire polls by 25 percentage points when the year began. Kerry seizing a similar lead after Iowa and Dean gaining a bit of ground after an 11th-hour political overhaul.
"I've been in public life for a long time, and I have been in tough races before and have been scrutinized," he said. "I'm ready to lead our party to victory."
But the front-runner's mantle may prove as weighty as it was for Dean. Rivals were already sharpening their knives,
Republicans calling him a Massachusetts liberal and Democrats accusing him of equivocating on the Iraq war and accomplishing little in the Senate.
In the desperate hours after Iowa's caucuses, Dean tried to soften his image and retool his message — billing himself as a straight-shooting fiscal conservative and social liberal.
He questioned Kerry's judgment for opposing the 1991 Persian Gulf War and supporting Bush's 2002 war resolution.
Rep. Dennis Kucinich and Al Sharpton were not factors.
'Lord of the Rings' acquires most nominations
The Associated Press
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. Middle-earth crowned its monarch. Now, Academy Awards voters seem ready to crown The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King as the first fantasy to win best picture.
The final chapter of Peter Jackson's trilogy, based on J.R.R. Tolkien's classic set in an imaginary world of hobbits, wizards and elves, took a leading 11 Oscar nominations yesterday, among them best picture and director.
Key acting nominees included Golden Globe winners Bill Murray as a washed-up actor in Lost
in Translation, Diane Keaton as a down-on-love playwright in Something's Gotta Give, Charlize Theron as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster and Sean Penn as a vengeful father in Mystic River.
The Napoleonic era naval adventure Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World received 10 nominations, including best picture and director for Peter Weir.
The other best-picture nominees were the quirky Tokyo tale Lost in Translation, the somber vengeance story Mystic River and the uplifting horse-racing drama Seabiscuit.
Another surprise pick was director Fernando Meirelles for
The most notable snubs were for the Civil War saga Cold Mountain, which failed to get nominations for best picture, director Anthony Minghella or lead actress Nicole Kidman, last year's best-actress winner for The Hours. The film had scored well in earlier movie honors.
The biggest surprise was 13 year-old Keisha Castle-Hughes. For her performance as a Maori girl bucking tribal tradition in Whale Rider, she became the youngest person ever to be nominated for lead actress.
the Brazilian film City of God.
Lost in Translation earned nominations for directing and original screenplay for Sofia Coppola. She was only the third woman ever nominated for director, after Lina Wertmuller for 1976's Seven Beauties and Jane Campion for 1993's The Piano.
A win for Coppola would make her kin the second family of three-generation winners, joining Walter, John and Anjelica Huston. Coppola's father is a five-time winner and her grandfather, Carmine Coppola, won for musical score on The Godfather Part II.

DELTA FORCE New candidate seeks diversity active students
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Scott McKenzie said his work on previous campaigns had taught him that Swenson would especially have to target one large group of students: those who don't usually vote.
"The biggest problem for Delta Force is the 80-plus percent of students that aren't voting and could care less about Student Senate," Scott McKenzie said. "Usually we lost by less than 1,000 votes. With 15- to 20,000 still out there, we could easily make up that deficit."
The KUnited coalition, which defeated Delta Force for the executive positions last year, has yet to announce its candidates for student body president and vice president this year.
No other coalitions have announced candidates, either.
Student body vice president Catherine Bell of KUnited, said she hadn't worked with Swenson much but still vouched for his character.
"I know he's very nice and he appears to be very dedicated," Bell said. "I'm not sure what he's been working on lately, but he does seem to care about students."
Swenson said one of his recent projects was going to the statehouse in Topeka to encourage legislators to support Governor Kathleen Sebelius' proposed 3 percent increase in the higher education budget.
Swenson met with Sebelius Monday and said she was excited to get the support of University senators.
Swenson said his drive to make the University better stemmed from a long-time love of everything Jayhawk.
"Both my parents went to KU, so I've always been a KU guy through and through," Swenson said.

Kathy Jansen is the president of the Classified Senate, the representative body of the University's classified state employees. She said Sebellius' plan didn't correct three years of not receiving pay increases.

BUDGET: Funding changes worry University staff
"It's very nice of the governor," Jansen said, "but it's an unfunded mandate."
Jansen and other classified Senators will still travel to Topeka Feb. 10 to ask the Legislature for a 7.5 percent increase in pay for state employees.
Jansen said the budget was a step in the right direction for employees.
Eakin also approved of the budget. He said despite some

problems, the budget was in its best financial shape in years.
The operating grant applied to all state universities will reach an all-time high in 2005, at $5 million, and the state general
fund is more now than at any point since Sebelius took office in 2002.
"We are pushing for this budget to pass in the Legislature," said Blake Shuart, legislative director of the Student Legislative Advisory Board. "Even if it does affect students' fees, it's a very good budget from the Governor."
If the budget passes in the Legislature, it will be a boost to a state besieged by financial troubles for the past three fiscal years.
"We're moving in the right direction," Eakin said. "It will take more time, but this is a good sign for the years to come."

Bush justifies occupation; says America safe,secure
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bush said Tuesday that Iraq undoubtedly posed a threat to America last year and the U.S.-led invasion was justified, despite his outgoing arms inspector's conclusion that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction.
But Bush and his aides backed away from often-stated predictions that such weapons will eventually be found in Iraq.
And the president deflected questions about the discrepancies between his dire warnings on Iraq and former chief inspector David Kay's findings.
Bush an explanation.
"There is no doubt in my mind that Saddam Hussein was a grave and gathering threat to America and the world," Bush said. "And I say that based upon intelligence that I saw prior to the decision to go into Iraq and I say that based upon what I know today. And the world is better off without him."
Kay believes his team's failure to find banned weapons in Iraq points to problems in the intelligence suggesting they were there, and he said over the weekend that the CIA owes
The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Porter Goss, said in an Associated Press interview Tuesday that Kay was doing a favor for the nation's intelligence system with his harsh criticism of the CIA's flawed prewar estimates.
Goss blamed the problem on underestimation of the fear and repression in Saddam's Iraq and insufficient intelligence budgets during the 1990s. He said the intelligence system needs more resources.
"I already knew it, but I know it in a more reinforced way now, and I figure Dr. Kay has done me a favor," Goss said.
Bush, during a meeting with Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski, said he had "great confidence in our intelligence community," and he displayed no interest in such an accounting from the CIA.
Last year, the president made Iraq's alleged weapons cache a
The president said he wanted to let American weapons inspectors complete their search in Iraq before drawing conclusions. That work is 85 percent complete, Kay has said.
central rationale for the Iraq invasion.
On Jan. 22, 2003, Bush told an audience in St. Louis. "The dictator of Iraq has got weapons of mass destruction." On the eve of the war in March, he said, "Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised."
Sunday, after nine months of searching, Kaysaid, "I don't think they exist." Kay quit his post on Friday.
Bush cited other reasons Tuesday behind his decision to go to war, and he tried to direct Americans' attention to the future of Iraq, not his own past assertions.
"America is more secure, the world is safer, and the people of Iraq are free," Bush said.
"We're now at the business of making sure Iraq is free and democratic," Bush said. "That's important, as well, for long-term stability and peace in the world, and we're making good progress toward that goal."
Bush did not mention twin roadside bombings west of Baghdad that killed three American soldiers Tuesday.

Southpaw flies into new season
By Shane Kucera
skucera@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The lucky undershrift he worn for three years hasn't let down Mike Zagurski yet. And considering Kansas' new pitcher allowed only two earned runs this season, it won't anytime soon.
Zagurski, one of eight junior college transfers the Kansas baseball team has acquired this season, is expected to make an immediate impact.
KD
A Nebraska All-State pitching selection in his senior year at Millard North High School,
Zagurski
Zagurski has continued his success at the college level. Attending Hutchinson Community College, he earned First-Team AllConference honors his sophomore year.
In his first two appearances for Kansas, the 6-foot, 220-pound lefty has proved to be a threat from the mound. Zagurski has struck out four batters and held opponents to a .200 batting average.
Despite walking four batters and hitting another with a wild pitch in his first start, Zagurski remained calm to earn a 14-2 win against Hawaii-Hilo.
In his second game Zagurski struck out every batter he faced in one innning.
"I haven't been nervous on the mound. I had some walks and wild pitches early because I wasn't comfortable, but I settled in after a while," Zagurski said.
The transition from junior college to the Division 1A level has not proved to be difficult for Zagurski. He attaches the smooth transition to the positive energy of coach Ritch Price and the strong core of players around him at Kansas.
"Coach Price makes practice, games and baseball in general enjoyable," said Zagurski. "The only major difference between junior college and Division one baseball is that now the team is much more solid one-through-nine."
The team has performed well behind the pitching staff so far this season. The offense maintains a .367 batting average after seven games and the infield has only allowed two free bases on errors.
Even though the team was ranked eighth in the Big 12 Coaches Poll, Zagurski remains optimistic about the season.
"We have a chance to be special. Everyone gets along and we have a good group of guys that are all good players," Zagurski said.
Price has also given Zagurski praise in return for his work on the field.
"Mike Zagurski turned in an outstanding performance," said Price.
Zagurski has also received praise from Price for his academic success. He was one of 16 baseball players on the Jayhawk Scholars list for the fall of 2003.
With strongplayers such as Zagurski, Kansas has a chance to make its first NCAA tournament appearance in a decade. If the team exceeds all expectations, reaching the College World Series would mean a trip for Zagurski to his hometown of Omaha, Neb.
The Jayhawk's next test will be against Texas Southern at 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31.

Wildcats narrow talent gap
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Jayhawk fans may have been happy to sign off the close score as a fluke in Kansas' 73-67 victory at home against Kansas State on Jan.14. The team itself, though, is less convinced.
"I think that the talent level and the gap has been narrowed." Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I think they are a team that can beat anybody and will beat anybody if they play well."
Following Kansas State's years of mediocrity, the Jayhawks (12-3 overall. 4-0 Big 12 Conference) found out just how improved the Wildcats (9-6,1-3) are this season by playing a bruising, close game for 40 minutes.
Kansas' veteran players aren't letting their past success influence them either. They point that Bill Self's Jayhawks are different from when Roy Williams coached the team.
coached the team.
"I don't look at the streak, because I mean it wasn't this team that won those 27 games," junior guard Aaron Miles said. "This is our first game down there, and we're just looking to go 1-0."
One positive for the Wildcats to build on from the first meeting is that they played the game without freshman guard Dez Willingham and freshman forward Cartier Martin. The duo scored a combined 15.4 points per game this season for Kansas State. Willingham will play tonight, but Martin will again be on the bench with an ankle injury.
Even with Martin's absence, the Wildcats were still able to match up well with the Jayhawks in the paint at Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas was outrebounded 41-38 by Kansas State, and the Jayhawks' big men only outscored their Wildcat counterparts 32-26.
Kansas played the first meeting without freshman center David Padgett, who sat out the game with a stress fracture in his left foot. Self now says
The Kansas coach, however, does not want to overwork Padgett so soon after returning from injury.
Padgett has the bounce back in his step.
"Until he feels he can go full speed everyday, then I don't see anything changing." Selfsaid. "We will just go with whoever is playing the best."
With Padgett's playing time limited, the Jayhawks will need senior forward Jeff Graves to play at the level he played in the first game with Kansas State. Graves came off the bench, scoring 11 points and grabbing nine rebounds.
It was his most significant performance since returning from his onegame suspension in December.
Tipoff is at 8 p.m. at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan.
Kansas Basketball Notebook
Self Ignoring Streak — As hard as reporters tried at yesterday's press conference, Bill Self did his best to avoid the topic of Kansas' 27-game winning streak against Kansas State. That streak includes 20 straight victories at Kansas State.
"It is a remarkable streak and certainly one that all of the past staff and players should be credited for," Self said. "I'm not hung up on the streak. The fans and media are. I understand that. I had nothing to do with winning at Bramlage with Kansas and our players have only had something to do with a couple of those wins."

On Familiar Territory—Tonight will mark a return to Manhattan for Kansas first-year assistant coach Tim Jankovich. He was a three-time Academic All-American in the early eighties for the Wildcats, and led his teams to three consecutive top-20 finishes and NCAA tournament appearances, including the Elite Eight in 1981. Jankovich was also a Kansas State assistant from 1984-86.

Kansas battles defensive woes
KANSAS

Tamara Ransburg discussed strategy with Marian Washington early in the second half of Saturday's game against Missouri. The Tigers defeated the Jayhawks 76-49.
Amanda Kim Stairrett/Kansar
By Jesse Newell jnewell@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Though the Kansas women's basketball team had little success on either side of the ball in a 76-49 loss to Missouri last Saturday, coach Marian Washington had no doubts which effort was more bothersome for her.
"Our defense — we've been spending most of our time trying to tighten it up," Washington said in her weekly Big 12 Conference teleconference yesterday. "Even though we weren't shooting the ball very well, I didn't think we responded defensively as well as we have."
For the second straight game, Kansas struggled defensively in the second half. Kansas was outscored 30-13 in the final 11 minutes of the game, after having been outscored 29-8 in the final 11 minutes of its previous game against Baylor.
The Jayhawks were out rebounded 24-13 in the final 20 minutes and had problems guarding the Tigers' inside players, allowing 22 points in the paint in each half.
"We're very capable of winning some of these games that we have on our schedule," Washington said. "We just have to put two halves together."
Washington said that Kansas will try to play a full game against the Oklahoma State, which will travel to Allen Fieldhouse for a 3 p.m. meeting Saturday. Right now Oklahoma State is flying high after a double-overtime victory over No. 3-ranked Texas Tech last Saturday.
While she wants the team to correct its problems on defense. Washington also wants her team to move forward from the loss against Missouri.
"We can talk all day long about what we didn't do." Washington said. "This is the kind of game you just have to throw out."
For awhile, Kansas more than held its own on the defensive end.

History a predictor for Big 12 champion
With new college basketball polls and computer ratings systems coming along every day, it has become difficult to find the most reliable place to determine who the leading teams are in the Big 12.
But if you are having trouble identifying this season's contenders for the regular season Big 12 title, fear not, because there is an easy way to tell.
The Big 12 standings can also be misleading because every team plays a different schedule.
First, they beat the lower tier conference teams on the road. The worst conference record of any Big 12 champion has been 13-5: Texas in 1999 and Iowa State in 2000. A record like that leaves lit-
The past seven Big 12 regular season champions have a few things in common.
Big 12 champions also win their conference home games, no matter the opponent. Only Texas in 1999 lost a conference home game and went on to be Big 12 champion.
The only time the elite teams suffer losses, if at all, is against other elite conference teams on the road. Last season, the top six teams in the Big 12 lost a combined three conference home games.
If you look at the remaining Big 12 conference games and apply these trends you can easily see which five teams are in the best position to take home the conference crown. My predictions:
1. Oklahoma State 14-2 (4-1): The team's win in Austin more than made up for losing its opener at Texas Tech. And along

with having the best quality conference win thus far, the Cowboys have the easiest remaining schedule. Their only road game against a conference contender is at Oklahoma, they are currently on pace to finish the conference season 14-2.
2. Kansas 12-3 (4-0): Despite the recent home loss to Richmond, the Jayhawks
are still in good shape to win a third straight Big 12 title. They have an advantage over southern teams by avoiding Texas Tech on the road. The Jayhawks have remaining road games against conference contenders at Oklahoma State and Texas, and are projected to finish 14-2 in conference.
3. Texas 13-3 (4-1): The Longhorns put their home loss to Oklahoma State behind them with an overtime win in Lubbock. They still have games at Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, but are in the best position to win the conference if Kansas or Oklahoma State stumbles. As of now, the Longhorns will likely finish 13-3 in the Big 12.
4. Texas Tech 16-3 (4-1) Brandon Mouton's buzer-batter did more than end the
Red Raiders' winning streak; it may have crippled their conference title hopes as well. With no quality conference road wins and a murderous remaining schedule including games at Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma, they are expected to finish conference play 11-5.
5. Oklahoma 11-4 (1-3): According to history, the Sooners need to win out to have a chance at the conference title. It will be an uphill climb, but the toughest stretch of their schedule is behind them. The team only has two road games remaining against conference contenders, with games at Kansas and Texas, and are on pace to finish 11-5 in conference.

SAILING
Sailing Club performs well in New Orleans over break
During winter break, four members of the University of Kansas sailing club travelled to New Orleans for their last event of 2003.
Held at the Southern Yacht Club on Dec. 30 and 31, Carly Timm, Kansas City, Kan., junior, and Chris Laborde, Shreveport, Lou., senior were Kansas' division A team. Timothy Fitzgerald, Wichita freshman, and John Warlick, Tulsa, Okla. senior made up the Division B team.
"It was cold, windy, and the waves were large. The wave patterns were very similar to the conditions I race at home on Cheney Lake," Fitzgerald said.
Both divisions sailed eight races.
Timm and Laborde started off slowly, but came in second in one race and finished first in their last race.
Both divisions signed agreements
Timm and Laborde withdrew from
their seventh race after they fouled
another boat, a sign of good sportsmanship.
Kansas clinched a fourth place finish out of ten schools, which earned the Javhawks a trophy.
While in New Orleans, the students were able to socialize with other teams.
"We made good allies with Auburn University, University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin," Laborde said.
This weekend the sailing club is heading to Austin, Texas to sail in the annual SEISA regatta.

The Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) - B.J. Elder scored a career-high 36 points to lead No.14 Georgia Tech to a 76-69 victory over Clemson on Tuesday night, hardly resembling the guy who was shooting less than 31 percent in Atlantic Coast Conference games.
Elder had 20 points in the first half and surpassed his previous career best of 25 with nearly 10 minutes remaining. By the end, he had the most points by a Georgia Tech player since James Forrest scored 36 against Maryland in 1994.
The Yellow Jackets (16-3, 4-2) bounced back from a weekend loss at North Carolina State, handing Clemson (8-10.1-6) its fourth straight defeat.
Eider connected on 12 of 20 shots from the field, including six 3-pointers. Marvin Lewis, with 11, was the only teammate in double figures.
Elder finished one point shy of the school record for points in an ACC game, a 37-point effort by Dennis Scott in 1990. Still, it was the highest-scoring game by an ACC player this season, surpassing 30 by Florida State's Tim Pickett in an upset of North Carolina.
Shawan Robinson led Clemson with 21 points, and Sharrod Ford added 19. Indiana squeaks upset against Purdue
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. A.J. Moye scored 15 points and Roderick Wilmont added all six of his points on a pair of 3s in the final minute, leading Indiana to an upset of No. 21 Purdue.
The Hoosiers (11-6, 5-1) beat a
ranked team for the first time this season. They remained atop the Big Ten standings by beating the rival Boilermakers at home for the fourth straight time.
Purdue (14-5, 4-2) dropped out of a first-place tie with Indiana and Wisconsin.
The Boilermakers were led by Kenneth Lowe who had 13 points despite not playing the last 15 minutes because of an injured left elbow.
Wilmont was the surprise star. His 3 pointer with 58 seconds left gave Indiana a 59-55 lead. After David Teague answered with a 3 for Purdue, Wilmont hit a 3 from the corner to make it 62-58 and seal the victory.
Florida outmuscles Alabama in 88-78 win
TUSCALOOSA, Ala — Anthony Roberson scored 26 points and David Lee had 24, giving No. 22 Florida an overpowering inside-outside combination in a victory over Alabama.
The pair combined for 15 straight points for the Gators, who had no problem scoring against a team giving up a league-low 59 points in SEC play. Alabama had won 11 in a row at home.
The Gators (13-4, 4-2 Southeastern Conference) held Alabama to four points in the final 6:31 and their two stars answered a series of rallies by the Crimson Tide.
Winston hit five second-half 3-pointers, including three in a row to bring Alabama back from a 13-point deficit early in the second half. He finished with 25 points.

Horoscope
Today's Birthday (Jan. 28).
Wrap up the material you've discovered and take it back to the lab. The coming year is partly about digging but mostly about sorting and sifting. You don't even know what you have yet, so this certainly won't be boring.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
Toss out the anchor, put on the brakes, or do whatever you must do to bring yourself back to reality. Then, when your craft is secured, tally up your winnings.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is an 8.
Things should start getting noticeably better pretty soon. You still can't have everything you want, but you're getting more decisive. You can weed out the unnecessary and go for what's most important.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6.
It may take a little while to come down from your recent adrenaline rush. If you can, find yourself a private place where you can hide out for a while.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a7.
The worst of it will soon be over, and your fate will be decided one way or the other. Schedule some relaxation time with your friends. Entertain them with this latest story. Make them promise not to tell.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8.
You'll soon get the chance to report to the people in command. You'll have to explain what you've done and accept responsibility, whether that means taking the credit or the blame.

After the vision comes all the hard work—both the old tasks and the new ones you're inventing. Some of it requires improvisation.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is an 8.

Hinrich's dad still coaching teens
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — North Kansas City boys basketball coach Jim Hinrich gripped his purple blazer in one hand and tensely ran his other across the wild, curly hair that curves around a bald spot.
He knew his team was in jeopardy of losing to Winnetonka, which had managed just one win this year — by forfeit. Hinrich slapped the whiteboard where he previously scribbled "Rebound, Guard. Run O." He smacked his hand on the word "guard" twice more.
"You've got a freshman out there who scored 17 points on you," Hinrich screamed at half-time of a two-point game. "A freshman!"
Hinrich's shouts echoed off the concrete walls before silence settled in. Water trickled from a shower in the background.A
dozen teenage boys, packed together on four short benches, stared at him inside the cramped locker room.
At that moment, 530 miles away, fans piled in Chicago's United Center to watch the Bulls play the Dallas Mavericks. Hinrich could have been in that crowd, lounging in the second row. Hey, maybe he'd be sitting in a seat reserved for NBA brass. He took those tickets once when the seats were unused.
Instead of watching his son, Kirk, torch Dallas for 23 points, 11 rebounds and five assists on Friday night, Hinrich stressed over some freshman from Winnetka.
He really doesn't need this. He's 55 years old, receiving retirement pay from his teaching/coaching job in Iowa, and his son, a former KU guard, will earn $7 million during the next three years with the Bulls.
"You know that he cares," NKC senior forward William Carter said. "His son's a millionaire. What does he want to coach for? You can tell he really wants to be here. When we were going through the losses, he cared more than the players. He showed more emotion than any of the coaches we've had. We know he doesn't have to do it."
Nope. Hinrich easily could take his retirement pay, mooch a smudge from Kirk's seven-figure salary if needed and enjoy the life of an NBA father.
"My wife and I would never want to do that," Hinrich said. "We always felt we were doing fine before he became a pro player. We'll be OK after he's there. It's more important he takes care of himself. You never know how long it will last."
So here Hinrich stands in the bowels of a 50-year-old gym, waiting to take his team back out
to a crowd of 250, and he's explaining that two basketballs can fit in the hoop at once.
"Shouldn't we be able to get one in?" he asks.
Hinrich coached 29 years in Sioux City, Iowa, including the last 24 years as head coach of Sioux City West High School. After coaching four state-tournament teams and five Division I basketball players, Hinrich wanted a change. At 55, he became eligible to receive retirement pay from Iowa and take a job in another state for additional income.
His daughter, Jill, lives in Overland Park. He was familiar with Kansas City, thanks to Jill and Kirk both attending Kansas. And, let's be honest, this would be an easy place for him to land a job.
"It helped having Kirk's last name," Hinrich said. "He used to be known as my son. Now I'm known as his dad."
Cornhuskers' build streak with victory
LINCOLN, Neb.—Nebraska's resurgence under second-year coach Connie Yori took another big step Saturday.
The Associated Press
The Cornhuskers beat the highest-ranked opponent in school history with an 81-63 win over No.9 Kansas State. It also was their 10th straight home victory.
"This puts Nebraska women's basketball in the vicinity of the map," Yori said. "People have to
stand up and take notice that we're doing some things here."
The Wildcats (13-3, 4-1 Big 12) shot a season-low 33.3 percent and saw their 11-game winning streak end. It was Kansas State's first defeat since losing 69-56 to Penn State on Nov. 29 and its most lopsided since falling 88-62 to Old Dominion in the 2002 NCAA tournament.
Margaret Richards scored 21 points to lead four Nebraska players in double figures.
"I wouldn't have guessed in a
The Huskers (14-3, 4-2) were beaten by 34 and 17 points in their meetings with Kansas State last season, when they went 1-15 in the Big 12 and 8-20 overall.
million years that we would have beaten Kansas State by 20 points." Yori said.
"Last year was a layup drill for them," Richards said.
On Saturday, the Huskers dominated a team that returned all five starters from last season.
Nebraska outscored the Wildcats 50-20 in the paint, including
22-4 on fast breaks. The Huskers held a 42-32 rebounding advantage. Kansas State coach Deb Patterson said she was surprised her team showed so little effort defensively.
"I would be stretching it to characterize that our defense was even in the gym today," Patterson said. "We didn't defend today, and the great guards that Nebraska has took advantage."
The Huskers, who led 34-31 at halftime, made 12 of their first 14 shots in the second half to build a 59-41 lead.
Pats, Panthers prepare for game
The Associated Press
HOUSTON—With his crisply knotted blue power tie and sharply tailored blue blazer, Ty Law could've been mistaken for a CEO.
But no, he's just a CB — a cornerback on a business trip.
Law's New England Patriots and the surprising Carolina Panthers began the biggest business trip of the season Sunday when they arrived in Houston to start the weeklong countdown to the Super Bowl.
"We're here to do a job," Law explained. "We can go hang with the 'in' crowd when we're done playing."
playings
For the better part of the last three decades, the NFL's title game has been as much about the hoopla leading to kickoff as the game itself. The goal for the players and coaches has been figuring out how to handle the distractions and still be ready for the game.
Different coaches have handled things in different ways. Chuck Noll won four titles by rarely setting curfews and actually encouraging the Pittsburgh Steelers to soak in the atmosphere.
Bill Walsh dressed up like a bellman to loosen up the 49ers on their first Super Bowl trip. Other coaches, especially in more recent years, have preferred more
structure, less fun.
Both John Fox of the Panthers and Bill Belichick of the Patriots were using the business-trip mantra with their players, and neither was making any apologies for it.
"We're not here to go sightseeing, we're here to play Carolina," said Belichick, who led the Pats to the title two seasons ago. "I don't know how anyone could take this any other way."
Still, there are perks to making a Super Bowl. Near the top of the list for these teams was a respite from the weather.
The Patriots arrived in Texas about an hour behind schedule — "How late are we? A minute? Five minutes?" Belichick said but not before saying goodbye to about a month straight of cold, nasty weather. The temperature in Boston on Sunday: 2 degrees, about 68 degrees colder than in Houston.
The Panthers, meanwhile, were sent off by about 10,000 fans who braved a nasty sleet storm to line the streets of Charlotte and wish their team luck.
"I woke up this morning and was like, 'It's snowing?' linebacker Will Witherspoon said. "Then, to see all the people, all the fans, supporting you, you just tell yourself, 'Man, let's bring this home. Let's show them what they're out there in the cold for, what they're cheering for."

Missouri looks to reqain momentum versus Buffaloes
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo.-Midway through what was beginning to look like a lost senior season, Rickey Paulding has rediscovered his game.
Much of the season, Missouri's senior guard has leaned heavily
on his jump shot with so-so results, which contributed to an underwhelming start for the Tigers. Missouri (8-7, 3-2 in the Big 12), began the season ranked fifth overall and now head unranked into Wednesday night's game at Colorado.
Paulding was a slasher again in
"Everybody's been telling me just drive to the basket," Paulding said. "I guess one day the light clicked on. I just want to keep being aggressive."
Saturday's 72-51 victory against Nebraska, leading the Tigers with 19 points.
scorer with a 16.4 points per game. Earlier in the season, he found himself shooting about 35 percent and feeling the weight of Missouri's miserable start.
Paulding is Missouri's leading
"We thought we were the leaders and we wanted to make it work so bad." Paulding said. "You try to force things."
The game against Colorado (10-6, 2-3 in the Big 12) is the start of a stretch in which Missouri will play three of four on the road. The Tigers are home against Kansas State on Saturday, then travel to Kansas Feb. 2 and Nebraska Feb. 7.
Missouri is 50-10 against Colorado at home and 26-30 on the
road, although the Tigers have won three of the last four in Boulder. Colo. They lost by 21 points last February, though, at Colorado.
"We have to keep our focus on where it's been, and that's guarding," Coach Quin Snuder said.
Colorado shot 29 percent in a 78-57 loss at Kansas on Sunday.
'Hawks and Wildcats play in Manhattan
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN—Spirits were high and hearts were light on that November day in 1988 when Kansas State opened its brand new basketball arena, Bramlage Coliseum.
By all accounts, no one carried a sign predicting that in 2004, the Wildcats would still be seeking their first victory in Bramlage over their most hated rivals, the Kansas Jawhawks.
But they are.
Kansas has run its overall victory string to 27 against Kansas State—and in Manhattan, the Jayhawks have defeated the Wildcats 20 years in a row. They have a 15-0 record in Bramlage Coliseum, which a few snickering Kansas fans have taken to calling "Allen Fieldhouse West."
The last time the Jayhawks left Manhattan a loser was on Jan. 29, 1983, when the Wildcats still played in Ahearn Fieldhouse.
With one side so thoroughly dominating the other, in fact, the once-fierce rivalry has even cooled down.
During the 20-game streak in Manhattan, there have been close games and there have been blowouts.
Wednesday night, many believe, will not be a blowout.
Kansas (12-3, 4-0 in the Big 12) has shown signs of improvement under first-year head coach Bill Self. But the Wildcats (9-6, 1-3 in the Big 12) are not without weapons in Jim Wooldridge's fifth year as head coach. No. 15 Kansas has already beaten Kansas State in Allen this season, 73-67.
Although injuries have hampered the Wildcats and they've lost three of their last four, the Kansas State program has put together what appears to be two solid recruiting classes.
"There is no question that the (talent) gap has been closed," Self said. "I think Kansas State can beat anybody when they play

Neither claim claims to know or care much about the streak.
"I think people, the media and fans, make a bigger deal out of it than players or coaches do."
Wooldridge insisted he won't even raise the subject with his players, let alone use it for motivation.
"I think more so than talking about that," he said. "We try to talk about how to play better basketball and let that be the focal point of our preparation as we get ready to play Kansas."
DEFENSE:'Hawks look for edge
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The layhawks allowed just 16 points to Missouri in the first 10 minutes. In fact, after a lay-up by Evan Unrau with under 16 minutes remaining in the first half, Kansas allowed just one field goal in the next six minutes—an additional lay-up by Unrau.
The Jayhawks could not take advantage of their early defensive effort of the offensive end, however, scoring only two baskets in the same time span with Missouri holding on to an 18-8 lead.
The second half was a different story. Many of Missouri's 43 points came too easily. Kansas players often double-teamed the
Tigers' inside players, only to have them find the open teammate for a wide-open shot.
"What gave them the advantage," guard Aquanita Burras said, "was our lack of rotation in our defense."
Noticing this same trend, Washington has put extra emphasis on defense this week.
Practices have centered on the defensive side of the ball, where Washington said she believed her team could improve the most.
"We didn't respond defensively," Washington said, "so that's where our main focus has been."

Printing no longer free
New Pay-to-Print service for students implemented at campus printing sites
By Ron Knox
rknox@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Typing away at a paper in the Budig Media Lab, Atsuiko Kusakabe wasn't worried about the new eight-cent charge for printing at University of Kansas computer labs — not yet.
But the Tokyo junior knows that as the semester trudges on, money vanishes and essay length requirements grow exponentially larger.
Then, Kusakabe said, the new printing charge might not be so easy to ignore.
"It's really a pain in my ass," Kusakabe said. "If I don't have the money, it could
The problem in the labs, according to Allison Lopez, public relations director for Information Services, was the escalating cost for both materials and upkeep.
Printer cartridges at the public labs in Budig and Fraser halls and the Kansas Union can cost up to $150 dollars per unit, and maintenance for the constantly-working printers is expensive, Lopez said.
Last summer, Information Services, Academic Computing Services and the labs implemented the Pay-to-Print service that would charge students eight cents per page for prints in public labs.
The program halted last fall as the labs installed card readers that debit student's KU identification cards.

Kvou Web site.
ACS has wanted to charge for prints for some time, but the card-reading technology was too expensive, said Jerree Catlin, associate director of Academic Computing Services.
When the prices for the card readers went down, the labs moved forward installing the readers and eventually charging the fees that would help supplement their inflating costs, Catlin said.
"We're not looking to make money or to pay staff by charging students," Catlin said. "We need to recoup our costs."
Only IBM-compatible computers are equipped with the technology to charge for prints. Students using Macintosh computers in public labs may still bring
paper and print without paying.
Catlin said the measure would help existing costs and could fund new and better equipment for the labs.
"In order to provide printing services, we need to provide cost effective ways to provide those services for students," Catlin said.
Of all six state universities under the Board of Regents, the University is the only school to charge outright for prints from computer labs.
Kansas State University allows students 100 free prints per semester before it begins charging, said Harvard Townsend. Kansas State lab director.

Before Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, John Brown had fiery determination to end the practice of slavery.
One of the main reasons behind the Civil War was slavery. What might not be known is that many local historians and Brown himself said the fight against slavery started in Douglas County, about three miles east of Baldwin City. The fight was called the Battle of Black Jack, a name left out of most Civil War books.
With the help of local communities, historians and history lovers alike are trying to get national recognition for the battle site.
Most history books say that the Civil War started in 1861 at Fort Sumter, S.C., but Kerry Altenbernd disagrees. The war started closer to home, said Altenbrend, president of the Friends of the Black Jack Battlefield, a group that four others formed with him to preserve the site.
Protection and Preservation
A landmark located in Robert Hall Pierson Memorial Park recognizing the June 2, 1856 Battle of Black Jack. The battle marked the first encounter between free state and proslavery forces.
On a windy morning in late November, Altenbernd and about 50 others gathered at the battle site to reflect and look into the future.
Kit Leffler/Kansan
Altenbernd's group started the road to preservation by buying 40 acres of land near the battle site from Alice Cavender for about $200,000 in May 2003. Cavender is the widow of James W. Cavender, a direct descendent of Robert Hall Pierson who fought alongside Brown in the battle.
When the land went up for sale, the newly founded Friends of Black Jack Battlefield needed some help.
That help came in the form of the Lawrence Preservation Alliance. An anonymous member of the alliance took out a loan, bought the land and guaranteed its mortgage. The LPA will transfer ownership to the Black Jack Trust as soon as the trust gains nonprofit status. Altenbernd hopes to gain that status in about five months.
"If I would have sold it to anybody else they would have torn everything down because it doesn't mean anything to them." Cavender said.
Altenbernd has visions of the land becoming a nature park and animal sanctuary, in addition to recognizing the battle.
Although the land is now safe from bulldozers, there's still much to be done and that takes money.
Carol Von Tersch, the alliance's president, said there were plans to renovate the house and turn it into an interactive learning center as the kind of facility that will appeal to all ages.
In addition, the organizations' leaders want to see the battle site listed in the National Register of Historical Places. Alliance member Carolyn Berneking wrote the proposal, but doesn't know when she'll hear back. The site is already on the Kansas Register of Historic Places.
Robert Hall Pierson Memorial Park sits near the acreage as a gift to Douglas County from the Pierson family. The park has a monument declaring that the first battle between free state and slave states
The LPA and the trust have raised about $25,000 out of the $200,000 for the land alone. The organizations have a long term agreement to pay off all the costs After seeing the community's support at the gathering, Von Tersch and the rest of those involved are hopeful to accomplish their goals, though there is no definite time line.
"It may take ten years." Von Tersch said, "but this is the beginning."
Kansas Day a time-honored tradition to celebrate the state's proud heritage
For others, such as Jake Skinner, their states never celebrated such a day.
To Kansans, celebrating their state's birthday, at least in elementary school, is a common ritual.

The first record of Kansas Day actually began in a schoolroom in Paola in 1877, said Lois Herr, Outreach Coordinator for the Kansas State Historical Society. After a history lesson that inspired patriotism in students, they wanted to create a day to commemorate their own state's history. They gathered artifacts symbolic of Kansas, sang songs and collected facts.
The day continued when the teacher who organized it became the superintendent of Wichita Public Schools and brought the day to them. From there it was taken to more teachers, and eventually reached a statewide celebration.

Men lacking distinction, Senate rejects calendar
By Andy Marso amaro@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Only days after the distribution KU Women of Distinction calendar, a men's version was shot down by Student Senate last night.
The University Affairs Committee voted against the bill to allocate $5,000 to fund the KU Men of Distinction calendar amid questions of financing.
A group of senators led by James Owen, law senator, formed the Muneer Ahmad Appreciation Society, which asked for the funding to produce the calendar. The group is named after one its members, Muneer Ahmad, law senator.
November to "enhance the distinctiveness of men on this campus." The calendar is the group's first project.
Owens started the group last
The calendar's purpose, according to the bill, was "to honor and salute the overwhelming quantity of men who serve and work for this campus at every level of its operation."
"Obviously the idea for the calendar was spawned from when
The bill's sponsors were group members Ahmad; Jayme Aschemeyer, off-campus senator; Chris Cardinal, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator; and Jeff Morrow, graduate senator.

Aschemeyer and Owen said they voted against the KU Women of Distinction calendar, while Cardinal and Ahmad weren't present to vote on it.
the Women of Distinction calendar was going through Senate." Chris Cardinal, CLAS senator, said.
The bill also stated that the $5,000 fee would be reimbursed later through donations from local businesses interested in promoting the distinctive men of the University.
response to the Women of KU calendar. He changed his mind when found out about the depth of research that went into the calendar. He said he saw the need for it then, and thought a male version also would be worthwhile.
Cardinal said he originally was against the Women of Distinction calendar because he thought it was an unnecessary
The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center produced and distributed the Women of Distinction calendar. Kathy Rose-Mockry, the center's associate director, said the calendar's purpose was to provide young girls with role models. A Men of Distinction calendar could have value, but wouldn't serve the same purpose for young men, she said.
"I don't think the same barriers that exist for women exist for men," she said.
"I believe it's important to recognize a certain demographic on campus that is prevalent among administration, faculty and staff and is overlooked and undervalued and that is, the male." Owen said in a speech in support of his bill.
Kristen Seibel, Association of University Residence Halls senator, argued against the bill. She said it was a risky investment for Senate given that the Muneer Ahmad Appreciation Society hadn't yet secured any funds toward reimbursing Senate.
Owen disagreed.
"This bill was written to reflect what's already been done for the Women of Distinction calendar, so I think it's fair to ask them to raise the majority of the funding first." Seibel said.
The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center requested
$2,750 from Senate for its calendar after having already received $2,250 from University departments and private donors.
Aschemeyer said arguments against the bill were unfair and that the debate was limp.
"What they don't understand is that they funded the Women of Distinction calendar, so if they don't fund our calendar, they're obviously discriminating," Aschemever said.
Owen said he was angry with the University Affairs Committee's vote and would appeal to the Student Senate Executive Committee.

When Mohamad El-Hodiri found out his honors Western Civilization discussion class was in another building this semester, he was upset.
El-Hodiri, professor of economics, was one of the University of Kansas faculty members who complained that classrooms were assigned to different buildings than in previous semesters. This caused problems.
"You end up with a room that's too small or too big," El-Hodiri said.
Four of his students were dropped from his honors Western Civilization class because the size of the room was smaller than the number of students enrolled. His classroom was also
placed in Wescoe Hall instead of Nunemaker Hall on Daisy Hill, where he normally held discussions. He changed the rooms right away, but still holds a grudge against the new system that caused this problem.
"A human tendency is to simplify. You need to use your brain. Not everything can be automated or centralized. That's a general principal of life."
This spring her human nutrition class was assigned to JRP Hall. She said it was distressing because her students complained about the distance from main campus, and were late to class as well. Gray asked to have her room changed and the class is now in the Military Science Building.
Cindy Derritt, interim University Registrar, said that all over campus, faculty have been
Mohamad El-Hodiri Professor of Economics
Her human biology seminar was always in Fraser, but was moved this year. She said it was difficult to move around expen-
paced in classrooms that often don't work for them. For some, the changes were inconvenient, a farther walk than normal. For others, the switches were downright problematic. She said that many have complained to the registrar, but not all of them have found solutions.
It was already a long walk when Sandra Gray, associate professor of anthropology, normally had classes in Fraser Hall.
Derritt said the optimizer put information into the interface, which didn't work accordingly to each department's room preferences. The interface in Ad Astra reads and sends information back and forth between it and the Enroll and Pay Web site.

sive fossil and lab materials.
Gray is a runner, but she said it was still hard to make the track to different buildings between her classes.
Before Ad Astra, people were assigned to classrooms by hand. Derritt said it was like a jigsaw puzzle.
The new system made it easier and faster for the staff to place rooms, Derritt said. She said she received many complaints about room reservations because of the system; however, she and her staff worked on changing the system so that these problems would not happen in the future.
"A human tendency is to simplify," he said. "You need to use your brain. Not everything can be automated or centralized. That's a general principal of life."
This semester, the University implemented Ad Astra, a new software that matched departments with classrooms on campus. Each department sent the University Registrar its classes and building preferences, which were plugged into the program. An optimizer—a tool within Ad Astra — scheduled rooms this semester instead of departments choosing rooms.
El-Hodiri said he did not like the new system at all. He said he was angry that students were dropped from his class because of the room location, and that he did not think a computer system could substitute for humans when it came to making his students happy.
Derritt said the University received the Ad Astra software a month before enrollment, instead of the intended four-and-a-half months. The delay, as well as the problems with the interface, left little time to set up the system.
"We had to train departments and test everything," she said. "My staff was working 85 hours a week sometimes."
She said Ad Astra was a good investment. Before Ad Astra, each department had to send in schedules almost a year in advance, but now they get more time.
Derritt said these problems came up at the beginning of the semester and would not happen again this spring. She said that by summer and fall enrollment, room reservations on Ad Astra would be fixed.

Wescoe Terrace performer plays music for early-morning customers
By Samia Khan
skhan@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Every morning, a little after 9:30, students falling asleep in class near Wescoe Hall receive a wake-up call courtesy of Michaelegene Mumford.
Each day since he began working less than a year ago at Wescoe Terrace, Mumford has greeted the campus with his music. Before clocking in for work, Mumford, 52, takes his trumpet, saxophone or clarinet outside Wescoe Terrace, plays a quick song that resonates down the hill, salutes his onlookers and starts his day.
If you're eating at the cafeteria, you might also see him dance a two-step across the room, belt out a tune in Latin and follow it up with a perfect rendition of Le Marseillaise, the French national anthem. As a grand finale he might perform his towel trick, tossing it high in the air as if it were a pizza and catching it perfectly on his

arm.
"I'm an entertainer, I'm a ham. I admit that," he said.
Mumford has been playing a variety of musical instruments for 30 years. He was surrounded by a musical family and learned to sing and play through their encouragement. He can sing in Latin, French and Spanish, and he said he can't resist the call of dance and theater.
In the mid-1980s he was in a theater production of the musical Annie. He still dances and sings in performances throughout Lawrence when he can. Last
summer, he traveled with his cousin's band, the Dime Brothers Trio, as a roadie and first clarinet player.
"Call me king of the multitaskers," he said.
Before traveling with his cousin and the Dime Brothers Trio, Mumford had his own band called the Bugle Boy Band that traveled and played locally. The band played its jazz on the steps of the Topeka capitol, performing wherever someone would listen.
After the band fell apart. Mumford was drawn back to the University of Kansas through a strong family connection. His mother was a maid for the fraternities and sororities and his father was on staff at the Kansas Union.
Much like his father loved working at the Union, Mumford said he,loves working at the cafeteria. He calls it the best job he's ever had because of the food,the atmosphere,his boss and the students.
His eyes grew wide with
earnestness when he said the University has the greatest students in the world.
Karen Lewis, unit manager of Wescoe Terrace and Mumford's boss, said people welcomed Mumford's exuberance, hard work and music.
"I've had people tell me how nice it is here now. I hear the music and I always know it when he's here in the morning," she said.
The first time he played his trumpet before work, Mumford said his co-workers loved it and asked him to continue.
"I'm surprised they don't tell me to shut up. I guess it's OK as long as I don't do it inside," he said.
Mumford wants to work at the cafeteria as long as he can. With each day comes another morning song for the campus.
"There are enough people out there to make you cry," he said. "I want to make people laugh."

Restaurant relocates, keeps atmosphere
Molly McGee's stays on Iowa St., will open new location next week
LISCON
By Dave Nobles
dnobles@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Amanda Kim Stairrett/Kansan
Jonathan Bransky cleaned at Molly McGee's, 2412 Iowa St., in anticipation of the restaurant's opening next week. Molly McGee's took over the building formerly occupied by Mexi-Kans. The Jayhawk, carved from a cottonwood tree, was crafted by Clifford Thomas, a chain saw artist.
After 15 years in Lawrence, Molly McGee's is finally getting her makeover in the form of a new building.
The restaurant and sports bar has relocated from its old home in the Holiday Plaza at 25th and Iowa streets to its new home at 2412 Iowa St., the building that formerly housed Barbivee Steakhouse and Mexi-Kans. The new Molly McGee's is slated to open its doors Wednesday.
Kitchen manager Tre Over $ _{j}$ stake said the monthly rent for the new building was higher than the restaurant's former location, which has yet to be leased.
The new building had to undergo changes to house Molly McGee's.
"We had to de-Mexi-Kans it and de-western it," said general manager Shannon Norwood.
While the menu and staff will be the same, both will grow in the next few months. Norwood said she would hire 10 more people and pizza would be on the menu by April.
Some of the changes to the restaurant's appearance include a new pool room, a separate arcade game room and two big-screen high definition televisions. The new restaurant will have an additional 30 seats and six more 28-inch televisions, bringing its television total to 22. A patio section is also planned.
Another addition to Molly McGee's is a hand-carved wooden Jayhawk bought from Frame Woods.819 Massachusetts St.
Other than the additions, nearly all of the equipment from the old restaurant was transferred over to the new building. Overstake said all of the beer taps and tables would be used in the new location.
Before the restaurant can be opened, it must undergo a series of inspections by the city. The inspections, which begin tomorrow, include a health inspection and a fire marshall inspection.
Because the restaurant has been closed for more than a week for the move, the staff has done nearly all of the construction of the new restaurant.
Some staff members, like Brad Ekstrom, Palatine, Ill., senior, are just ready to get back to work.
"In a way, it's kind of a hassle,"
Ekstrom said. "As far as the overall atmosphere goes though, it's going to be a really good thing."
Ekstrom said that the biggest challenge would be getting accustomed to the new equipment.
One thing that customers may
find missing from the new restaurant is the toy train that formerly ran above the bar. Overstake said there were plans to bring the pint-sized locomotive over, but that nothing had been finalized.
"Once you walk in and see the finished product, you'll be able to see Molly McGee's." Overstake said.
the new building would have the same feeling.
Trains aside, Overstake said

PAY: Printing copying to cost students again

Emporia State, according to representatives for the respective schools.
"Right now, this is what we have to do to help our costs," she said.
The Pay-to-Print service in the public labs at the University is by no means a permanent fixture, either, Catlin said.
Bill Myers, director of library services, said that the eight cents-per-page cost for students wasn't new at KU libraries.
After suspending the charge last semester to work out computer problems, the libraries are once again charging the same fee computer labs have adopted. The library began charging the fee in June 2001.
Myers said the volume of students using the library didn't change after it began charging, but he did see a decrease in printing from library computers.
But printing from computer labs could be different, Myers said.
HASHINGER: Dorm to renovate in 2005
"At computer labs, people have to get their materials printed," Myers said. "If they need it, they'll have to pay for it."

The hall will close in Spring 2005 and reopen in Fall 2006 after a comprehensive renovation. The department is committed to maintaining Hashinger's fine arts emphasis, Stoner said, and student input will play a significant role in shaping the building's final outcome.
The department sent surveys out to all Hashinger residents last semester to gauge their attitudes and gather suggestions for prospective changes.
Kelly Payton, Hashinger resident assistant, said many of her residents had said they wanted to keep the theater, dance and practice rooms in the building. Payton
has lived in Hashinger for five years and said that while the building needed a cleaner, more modern look, she did not want it to lose its traditional elements.
"The front porch was a big thing that everybody wanted to keep," said Payton. "If you've ever walked by there, you know that half the building hangs out on the front porch at any given time."
Stephen Moles, chair of the Hashinger Hall Arts Council, said he hoped the importance of floor interaction would be stressed with concepts like preserving community bathing facilities.
"What I've noticed at Ellsworth, Lewis and Templin is that because you have everything inside your dorm room, there's no
reason to leave," Moles, Lawrence sophomore, said. "You're in the dorms to meet people, not to sit in your room."
Moles said he also hoped that while the facilities were updated, the hall would keep its unique flavor.
"I want every class that comes into Hash after me to feel the same sense of creativity and fun that I have felt here," Moles said.
Andrew Smith, St. Louis senior, said the architects were concerned about more than just the structural design of the building. Smith is a member of the Hashing Hall Renovation Project Building Committee and said he had been impressed with the way architects are working with
students to preserve the spirit for which Hashinger is known.
Stoner said changes will also be made to E's Express, the dining facility on the hall's second floor. Kandace Creel, president of the Association of University Residence Halls, said ideas for how to transform the space have included fast food options and extended hours.
"I know that a lot of residents, not just those who live in Hash, but all over the Hill, would be interested in something like that," the Albuquerque, N.M. senior said.
The architects will continue to focus on student and public rooms until tomorrow, and will begin discussing concepts for food service changes next week.

DAY: State spirit important

Shipstead, first grade teacher at Sunflower Elementary in Paola. The students will sing "My Country 'Tis of Thee," and present books they made.
Before Kansas was made a state on Jan. 29, 1861, it had to first be a territory. In May, Kansas will celebrate 150 years since its territorial birth.
Kansas' status as a territory had a nationwide impact, Rita Napier, associate professor of history, said. Through the Kansas-Nebraska Act, both became territories, and were given the opportunity to decide whether to uphold slavery. After choosing to make slavery illegal,
a battle ignited both inside and out of the borders.
By creating this image of Kansas as anti-slavery, Kansas history has been distorted, Napier said. Some didn't want slavery because they didn't want poor farmers competing with slave labor. Others did not want to deal with the racial issues that accompanied it.
The importance of Kansas Day is not all falsehoods. Kansans see this as symbolic of what the state and the people still stands for, Napier said. She said Kansans still like to be seen as spirited individuals who stand up for what they believe in.

BLACK JACK: Historians hope to preserve battle site
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Altenbernd and others hope to have the dedication of a new Black Jack Battlefield Park on June 2, 2006, the battle's 150th anniversary.
The Battle Itself
Kansas became a state on Jan. 29, 1861. After years of indecision on the issue of slavery, Kansas was declared a free state. In May 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed states to take their own position on slavery. The state voted, but droves of people from Missouri, a slave state, crossed the state line and stuffed the ballot boxes, causing a true Border War that meant much more than a basketball game or a trophy sponsored by an area Ford dealer.
One of the first battles between the two sides happened on May21, 1856 when Lawrence was sacked by a group of Missourians under the command of Samuel Jones. Although no one
Paul Stuewe Local historian
was killed, the Free State Hotel, now called the Eldridge Hotel, was burned to the ground and the printing presses of the city's two newspapers were destroyed.
Word of the attack spread to John Brown, who had come to Kansas a year before and settled ten miles west of Osawatomie. Brown became enraged. In an event later called the Pottawatomie Massacre, Brown with the help of four of his sons and two other settlers butchered five proslavery male settlers on May 24 near Pottawatomie Creek, just west of Osawatomie, splitting their skulls with broadwords.
One of the Missourians who took part in the Lawrence attack was Henry Clay Pate, a self-elected leader of about 80 men. A couple of days after the Pottawatomie Massacre, Pate and his men captured two of Brown's sons, John Jr. and Jason, and burned their houses.
On June 1, Brown and some militia he had rounded up were stationed in Prairie City, west of the battle site.
Through two of Pate's men wandering around town, Brown learned that Pate was camped in Black Jack Creek. It was time for battle.
Brown and more than 25 men made their way to a wooded area near the creek and waited until dawn.
"You can make a pretty good argument that the war started here," said Paul Stuewe, a local historian and teacher at Lawrence High School. "If a war is where combatants get together
The battle's turning point came when Brown gave the order to start shooting Pate's horses and mules. The Missourians couldn't go anywhere without their ride.
and shoot each other, the war started here."
Without a way out, Pate's men were cornered into surrendering. After Brown's son, Frederick, came charging across the battlefield on horseback yelling that his side had Pate's bunch surrounded, Pate thought more of the opposition's cavalry was on the way.
Pate called a truce, later claiming he was tricked by Brown, and the "pre prelude to the Civil War" was over. After three hours, no lives were lost but several men were severely wounded on both sides. Pate and his men were taken as prisoners and stripped of their possessions, but released three days later.
The Fury Behind the Fight
If one took a national survey in 1850 about the top issues of the time, slavery would not have been near the top of that list, said
Jonathan Earle, assistant history professor at the University of Kansas.
Earle said that certain catalysic wedges led to the Civil War and the main drive behind those wedges was John Brown, a former farmer and surveyor turned intrepid abolitionist whose divisive character made people choose a side.
"He saw slavery as an abomination," Altenbernd said. "Slavery was against God. He wasn't just fighting men, he was fighting the devil. Violence was the answer."
While Brown's practices may be perceived as contradictory to his Christian beliefs, Brown thought the work of God was to bring equality to all men.
"Without blood there is no remission of sins." Brown wrote.
Brown came to Kansas in 1855 from the East Coast with the sole purpose of stopping slavery. Before heading west, Brown won the support from many of New England dignitaries such as Amos A. Lawrence, the town's name sake,
and African American leaders including Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman.
"Captain Brown" as he was known by his men, was probably most well known for the raid on Harper's Ferry, Va. in 1859 when he attempted to lead a slave uprising. Brown was caught after the raid and hung on Dec. 2, 1859, charged with murder, treason and insurrection. The weapon of choice in the raid for Brown's men was a pike, a six-foot pole with a Bowie knife attached to it. The knife belonged to Pate.
As for the battlefield itself, the Friends of the Black Jack Battlefield Trust, the Lawrence Preservation Alliance and other locals believe it belongs with the likes of Vicksburg, Gettysburg, Antietam and all the other major battles of the Civil War.
"I think John Brown tasted battle for the first time," Earle said. "What happened right here really changed American history."

BOULDER, Colo. — Mired in a season-long slump, Michel Morandais was his old self Wednesday night.
Stat of the Night—Last night the Jayhawks had 24 assists compared to just seven turnovers, which Self said was the best he saw from his team all season.
"I really haven't thought about it," Self said following the game. "But this really makes for a much more pleasant 24 hours."
Morandais scored 28 points on 9-of-11 shooting, and David Harrison had 22 points and 10 rebounds to lead Colorado to an 83-70 win over Missouri.
Colorado (11-6, 3-3 Big 12) used a 21-4 run early in the second half to open up a 19-point lead, and Missouri got no closer than 10 points after that.

Chiefs hire ex-Raider Pagac as new linebackers coach
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs said yesterday they have hired Fred Pagac as linebackers coach.
Pagac spent the past three seasons coaching linebackers for the Oakland Raiders. For 19 years, Pagac was an assistant coach at Ohio State University, his alma mater.
He was the Buckeyes' defensive coordinator from 1996-99. In 1998, Ohio State led the nation in rushing defense and ranked No.2 in pass defense.
Pagac will be working under Gunther Cunningham, the former head coach of the Chiefs who returned this month as defensive coordinator.

Junior Keith Langford jumped up for a rebound during the first half of the basketball game in Manhattan last night. Langford was the leading scorer with 19 points. The Jayhawks beat the Wildcats 78-70.
Jayhawks win 28th straight over Wildcats
By Ryan Greene rgreen@kansan.com kansan sportswriter
MANHAITAN — Kansas State sophomore forward Marques Hayden walked alone with a ball in hand an hour before the doors opened to the public at Bramlage Coliseum.

A cameraman passed him and asked about his team's rematch with Kansas.
about his team's remainder. "This is our year man," he said. "I can't take it no more."
All of Manhattan appeared ready for what the Wildcats came so close to just two weeks ago in Lawrence: a huge upset.
Unfortunately for Hayden, he was forced to "take it" for the fourth time in his Wildcat career, as Kansas (13-3 overall, 5-0 Big 12 Conference) defeated Kansas State (9-7, 1-4) 78-70. The victory extended the Jayhawks' overall winning streak against the Wildcats to 28 games.
Wildcat to 20-gallon crowd, rowdy With a near sellout crowd, Wildcat fans gave the Jayhawks a boost of adrenaline before tip-off.
While the Jayhawks were able to build a lead as big as 11 in the first 20 minutes, Kansas State repeatedly answered Kansas' spurs. Junior guard Aaron Miles hit a three-point field goal with just seconds left before halftime to give his team an 11-point lead at the break.
or adhere them above up.
"I think we were all just chill, and then the fans started talking," freshman forward J.R. Giddens said after the game.
"We were like, alright, let's see how loud they are when the final buzzer rings. And that's what happened tonight."
Sophomore forward Christian Moody played a major role in Kansas' first half success. Though Moody only contributed two points and three rebounds, he provided valuable minutes after the team's top four forwards combined for seven fouls in the game's first nine minutes.
The close score and physical play in the first half closely resembled the two teams' first meeting on Jan. 14 in Lawrence.
Kansas started the second half with a scoring rush.
"I'm glad we've got him because in foul situations he gave us seven minutes we had to have," Kansas coach Bill Self said.

Freshman recovering from injury
By Mike Norris
mnorris@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
MANHATTAN — Eight points and four rebounds in 23 minutes of play may not light up a box score, but for Kansas' freshman center Padgett, it was plenty.
"I just felt really comfortable out there, getting in the flow early," Padgett said after playing the most minutes in a game since a hairline fracture in his left foot caused him to miss games against Kansas State and Texas A&M.
State and Texas 4-6 Padgett shot 4-5 from the field, and said his injured foot didn't bother him.
His biggest contribution came in the second half during a one-minute and thirty second span where he scored six straight KU points. The three baskets inside ignited an 11-5 Jayhawk run that stretched their lead from 45-32 to 56-37.
"I thought David played great," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "By far the best he's played since he's been far."
In the two games before last night's game against K-State, Padgett played just 19 minutes, while recording 11 points and eight rebounds.
Self was pleased by the amount of minutes Padgett was able to play. It was the most for the freshman since playing 27 minutes in a Jan. 2 home win against Villanova.
Padgett's importance was underscored when Kansas forwards J.R. Giddens and Jeff Graves picked up two fouls each in the first eight minutes.
The freshman center committed two fouls in the first half, but stayed out of foul trouble in the second half, where he played 19 of his 23 total minutes.
played 19 of his 25 points Giddens, who hit a key three pointer in the second half during a 10-2 Wildcat run, was also happy to see the center back on the court.
"It's big time," Giddens said. "Anytime you have a seven footer in your lineup — because he's not 6-foot-11, he's seven foot — it helps."
Padgett has come off the bench in all three games since he returned to action last Thursday, and downplayed any talk of returning to the starting lineup anytime soon.
"I'm not really worried about that right now," he said. "Starter, coming off the bench, it doesn't really matter. Just as long as I get a chance to plaw."
long as I get a chance to play Padgett will have three days to rest his foot and see how it responds to the extender playing time before Kansas takes on Iowa State at 3 p.m. Saturday in Ames, Iowa.

Baseball team primed for season
By Ryan Colaiani
rcolaiani@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
When Ryan Baty and Matt Tribble walked off the field after their season ending loss to Missouri last year, both believed that it was likely their last game as lawhaws.
The two sluggers were passed over by the pros, so they will return to the Kansas baseball team this year.
Price
That's good news for Kansas coach Rich Price. In his second year in charge, the kansas coach said Baty and Tribble's return was crucial to continuing the Jayhawks' success this season.
The pair wasn't graduating. They expected to be taken in the Major League Baseball draft during the summer.
"You are trying to take steps forward," Price said, "and if we had lost them we would have been taking a step back."
Though plans on playing in the pros are on hold for now, Baty and Tribble have been noticed by numerous collegiate publications. They received a variety of accolades including spots on the All-Big 12 first team for the pre-season. Last year, no Kansas players received preseason honors.
If the team is to reach its goal, Baty and Trible will need to put up strong offensive numbers. They'll need to make up for the loss of graduated Casey Spanish who led the club in home runs, batting average, triples and runs.
Price said the team's goals have changed. Last year the team wanted to make the Big 12 tournament. This year Price said, the team is after an NCAA Tournament bid.
"This shows that our program has turned the corner." Price said.
"Offensively we can be better this season. But we have some big shoes to fill." Price said. Along with Spanish, the team also has to replace Kevin Wheeler, another key contributor to the team last year.
Price said he was optimistic his team would make up for the loss of Spanish.
Baty should be able to match Spanish's home run total from last year as Baty finished with 11, one behind Spanish. Baty also set a school record for hits in a single season with 97 last year.
Through the first seven games this season, Tribble is hitting .481 with a teamleading 13 hits. Baty is hitting .393 with a team leading three doubles.
In earlier games, Tribble and Baty picked up exactly where they left off last season.
KU
20
Baty
During the seven games against Hawaii-Hilo last week, junior college transfer Sean Richardson emerged as a new solid hitter. Richardson hit .579 with a grand slam and has a team leading 13 RBI.
Tribble
"He is a quality player who has been
drafted twice", Price said. "He is very fast, which is rare for a catcher. He is simply a great athlete."
Leading the Jayhawks on the defensive side is third baseman Travis Metcalf and shortstop Ritchie Price, coach Price's first. Baseball America named them both pre-season top defensive players at their respective positions in the Big 12.
"I think it is outstanding for those two players to be recognized as some of the best in the Big 12," coach Price said. "Those two individuals are the best players at their positions that I have coached my entire career."
Metcalf and Ritchie Price aided the Jayhawks last season as they led the Big 12 Conference in team defense. Price was named honorable mention All-Big 12 last year and became the second freshman in school history to receive such honors. Metcalf hit .288 last season, including 10 home runs, while Price hit .319.
The Jayhawks return to action Saturday in Houston to face Texas Southern University.

Ticket plan for faculty and staff in progress
By Joe Bant
jbant@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Last Tuesday the Faculty Executive Committee released a preliminary draft of the seating and ticket plan it will use next year at home men's basketball games.
games. The plan outlines a method of distributing the 1,822 seats reserved each game for retired and current University of Kansas faculty and staff.
It is not related to the points plan the Athletics Department released earlier this month. The points plan is a revenue plan for regular season ticket holders.
At the committee's weekly meeting it spent much of the meeting debating details of the proposal to determine what would be included in the final copy.
The more points they earn, the better seats they receive. Donating money, being a member of the University of Kansas Alumni Association or graduating from the University are some of the ways to earn points. The new proposal deals only with the seats allocated to University faculty and staff.
The committee did not reach complete consensus, but Ray Davis, University of Kansas associate professor and chairman of the committee, said he hoped a final draft would be finished by next week.
"This is a grand experiment," Davis said. "We're going to run into some difficulties."
Under the proposal, faculty and staff who currently have season tickets are each entitled to two tickets for next year.
The original proposal stated that surviving spouses of retirees may continue to purchase half-season tickets for five years, but committee members discussed reducing the time limit to three years and removing the clause altogether after 10 years.
The current plan awards priority seating
Committee member Jill Kleinberg disagreed with any changes that would keep deceased faculty and staff's spouses from acquiring tickets.
They can purchase these tickets in four-game, eight-game and full-season packages. If they choose less than a full season, they cannot pick the specific games included in their packages
"Something's been taken away from them that's very important, and now something else is being taken away from them." Kleinberg said.
according to four seniority groups. Faculty and staff who have been with the University for more than 30 years constitute the highest seniority group. Those who have been with the University for less than 10 years are the lowest.
The committee also tentatively agreed to limit the tickets available in the lottery to four-game packages. This would allow more people to have access to tickets, said Joe Sicillian, committee member.
The committee agreed to debate the issue further, intending to reach an agreement, next week.
Most of the seats will be in the first and second tiers of Allen Fieldhouse.
Some points of the plan that caused disagreement within the committee dealt with the availability of tickets to the spouses and partners of deceased faculty and whether eight- and 16-game ticket packages would be available in the lottery.
The proposal reserves 200 seats for faculty and staff who do not have tickets. A lottery will be used every two years to determine who gets these seats.
committee reached Davis said the committee would submit the final plan to the University Council when it was finished.
The plan will be effective for five years, beginning its term next year and ending with the 2008-2009 academic year.

Sesame Street isn't the only reason to watch PBS. The educational television channel is starting a new series called Art:21. The Spencer Art Museum, 1301 Mississippi St., is sponsoring a FREE viewing of programs one and two at 7 p.m. The series focuses on artists in the 21st century speaking about their work. The first episode follows the work of six artists and explores the richness of American culture and Americans abroad. The second episode features five contemporary artists whose works and lives are touched by spirituality. "There was a time when spirituality and art were inextricably linked," writes Lynn M. Herbert in her essay for the Companion Book to the Art:21 Series." Spirituality is such a vibrant and integral part of our lives that even our changing times and all the apparent obstacles have not stifled the powerful partnership of spirituality and art in the modern era." The Museum will show eight episodes through February 8.

Perhaps you're needing some "me" time after your first week of class? "Feel Your Body—Feel Your Soul" is the perfect cure for the back to school blues. Less than half an hour away, the Light Center, 1542 Woodson Rd. in Baldwin, will balance your yin and yang. Experience eight hours of professional massages, meditation and healthy eating. This day of luxury comes pre-packaged for the cost of a normal hour massage at a local business. The scenic Light Center, tucked in the woods, should add an extra element of relaxation. The cost of the event ranges from $50 to $100, depending on how much you are able to give. But what price can you put on relaxation?

Located at 151 James St. in Kansas City, Kan., Club 151 boasts about having the longest bar in the city (if you prefer to sit on your butt rather than shake it). It only costs $5 and you have to be 18 to get in.
Feb.1 Elderly Exhibit Sunday
Sunday
Check out the Senior Art Department Exhibition at the KU Art and Design Gallery, 1467 Jayhawk Blvd., on the third floor. The event will have a reception from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. today, and runs through Friday, Feb. 6, during the building's normal hours. Various paintings, sculptures, ceramics and printmaking pieces will be displayed at the exhibition.
Feb.2 Calling all wannabes Monday
Set the tone on a first date or amuse friends by heading to The Hurricane, 4048 Broadway, in downtown Kansas City, Mo. At this Westport area attraction, you can serenade your new love — or new friends — at the bar's popular open mic night. Open since 1985, the Hurricane has established itself as one of Kansas City's premier music venues. Every Monday the bar leaves its venerable stage open to wannabes and up-and-comers alike. Great drink specials will keep the night moving along, even if the acts aren't what you bargained for. Drinks aren't the only thing that come cheap: parking in the area is also free on the street after 6 p.m. and the first act isn't on until 9 p.m. After the show ends around 12:30 p.m., you can sober up before your drive home. The bar itself doesn't close until 2 a.m. While in Kansas City, check out the world premiere run of How His Bride Came to Abraham at the edgy and critically acclaimed Unicorn Theater, 3828 Main St. Written by former K.C. playwright Karen Sunde, the play examines the Israeli/Palestinian conflict in an intimate manner. The play tells the story of Abe, an Israeli officer who must spend the night with a woman he takes captive. The woman, Sabra, a Palestinian fighter, tends to Abe through the night under the watch of his gun. Be sure to stay after the play for a discussion with the director, cast and local experts representing both sides of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. The show is at 7:30 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at the Unicorn Box Office for $15 or by phoning (816) 531-PLAY (7529) Ext. 10.
Feb.4
A dancing addiction
Wednesday
If bump n' grind is the only dance move you know, then it's time to close your tab at The Hawk and make a cultural bee-line for the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. The Prairie Wind Dancers and members of First Step House will perform at 7 p.m.The professional dance company and
the halfway home for women recovering from substance abuse will present a piece using dance and poetry that addresses issues surrounding addiction. The poem, A Story in Five Chapters by Portia Nelson, is a deeply moving work that delves into the depths of abuse and the joys of recovery. The event is a part of a series called Stories of Addiction and is donation only.

Letter From the Editor:
Last semester, we introduced you to a new Jayplay. Your campus magazine started eating more vegetables, wearing those Converse sneakers, running faster and jumping higher. We got rid of the beer gut and bought some new clothes, but somehow it wasn't quite enough.
So we made some more changes.
This first spring issue incorporates some of those changes, but not all of them. Next Thursday, we'll publish the first issue that will feature all of our six new departments.
Joaploo
"Contact" is about all the ways you connect with other people: friendships, family relationships, dating and, yes, sex.
"Contact" also is the place you'll find our new advice column, "Bitch'n' Moan. Think Dear Abby, but funnier, spicier and sexier. If you have burning questions, don't wait until they're flaming, send them now to bitch@kansan.com.
"Venue" is our improved entertainment and music department.
If you want to know about local music, beyond the reviews and the hype, this is the place to be. In "Venue" you won't just read what a reporter thought of a concert, you'll read a narrative story that will make you feel like you were there. In "Venue," you won't just hear that a band is putting out a new album, you'll find out how that
album almost tore them apart. "Venue" is all about making you sound like the smartest kid at the bar.
"Upgrade" is technology for the people and by the people.
This is the place to go for non-geekified stories about how people are using and misusing — the machinery in their lives. No jargon or pocket protectors, just real people talking about what's new and exciting.
"Manual" is the instructions, but it's also the challenge to do something with your own two hands. Each week,
this department offers readers a stepby-step guide to a project, whether it's making a new vase, teaching yourself a skill, or giving yourself an enema (or not). "Manual" gives you the power to do it yourself.
In "Notice" anything goes. Here's where you'll find about everything you've wanted to know, but never asked. Are students really abandoning the traditional "ghetto" for digs in West Lawrence? Is this city really run by hippies? Whatever happened to the rave scene? "Notice" reporters bring you the answers.
Our final department rotates subjects on a tri-weekly basis.
"Go" is travel with a spin for the Jay-play reader. Here's where you'll find stories about wacky, weird and wonderful places, festivals and attractions within driving distance. "Go" is about finding the unexpected and having a hell of a good time doing it.
"Bite" is about the food you make, the ways you share it, and the things you do with it. "Bite" reporters will make your mouth water with new, easy recipes, they'll show you why throwing a dinner party isn't that scary and they'll teach you how to
really play with your food.
"Label" is what you put on, whether that's a designer frock or the stereotype that goes with your ball cap. "Label" reporters cover new trends, local designers and what fashion really means once it's off the hanger and onto the street. This is about more than makeovers,it's about what's now,what's changing and what's with that ridiculous skirt.
In our Thursday, Feb. 5 issue you'll find all these departments plus a story about shop-a-holics "Your Weekly Dose" calendar reviews and more.
Don't forget to grab a copy. We've been working out all Christmas break and we can't wait to show off our new figure.

New York Kicks Start spreading the news: Lawrence transplants find their niche in New York City
BY: Carlos Centeno
Jayplay writer
Over the bridge from Manhattan, New York is Williamsburg — a place some locals know as Little Lawrence. The place is flourishing with young artists, recent graduates and hipsters — but most of all people who used to live in Lawrence.
Justin Montag graduated from the University of Kansas. He moved to Williamsburg after working in Lawrence for Cornerstone Promotion, a marketing company based in New York.
Montag is in some ways a guru of the New York nightlife because part of his job is being on top of the music scene. He says that besides the girls, the best part about New York is the fast pace.
"So much goes on here in just a week that you lose track of what is happening night after night," he says.
But when Montag gets together with his Lawrence friends in Williamsburg, it's just like being back in Lawrence.
"Whenever or wherever I run into them it's usually filled with discussions on how Lawrence holds it down," he says. "From thrift stores to the Love Garden to the girls at ATC to the Jayhawks."
Becky Lake, former Stilwell resident, also lives in Williamsburg. She says she moved to New York because she wanted to be an actress and had lived in the Midwest most of her life.
"I wanted to be in the most intense spot in the world." Lake says.
Like other former Lawrence residents, Lake talked about a "magnetism" that connects her to other people from Kansas.
"For every friend I meet in New York, I befriend two new KU people." Lake says.
Lake's favorite bar, the International Bar, in the East Village, is a prime example of this.
"Sure enough, there will be someone behind the bar from Lawrence when you enter that bar." Lake says.
Montag and Lake agree that Williamsburg has become a magnet for people who used to live in Lawrence because most people either know someone who recently moved there or because it's fresh, hip and attracts a crowd interested in an inexpensive place like that.
"There's even a bar in Williamsburg called Enid's that is referred to as the New York Replay." Lake says.
Lake said there's also a bar in the Upper East Side that broadcasts all of the KU basketball games.
Nadia Mustafa's story is a bit different. She lives in the East Village but spends some time in Williamsburg.
Mustafa graduated from the University in May 2001 and was working in New York a month later. She moved to New York after being hired as a reporter for Time magazine.
To Mustafa, a lot of the bars in New York feel like bars in Lawrence. One of the
bars she described as a Lawrence bar was the International Bar.
Her nightlife is different from other New Yorkers in that she doesn't like the fancy "meat market/singles scene/hot new celebrity club/dancing until three in the morning." she says. She says she doesn't like bars where a drink can cost you $25.
"It's more about just going to the bar with some friends and drinking and talking and having a good time, kind of like Lawrence." Mustafa said.
There is something about New York that makes the Lawrence crowd feel at home. It's a vibe that lingers in the air of every bar in Williamsburg. A vibe transported from bar to bar in the city. No matter if it's the East side or the West side, when the Lawrence crowd is partying, the University of Kansas stories roll.
"The beauty of New York is the whole city is your own Mass. street," Mustafa said.

In One Year 2003 Music Commentary
CC
If the music we choose is a reflection of our collective condition, then we have several conditions to address.
by Cornelius Minor
This time of year, us music folks are always coming out with these "Year-in-Review" or "Best of 200X" type articles. We take great pride in looking to the past year and commenting on who was hot, and glancing expectedly into the next — predicting the coming of the next messiah-like trendsetter.
Each year, I get swept up in the curious excitement of reflection and expectation. I swarm the Web sites, magazines and newspapers looking to see what industry insiders, knowit-alls and speculators will mark as the greatest of all that and as the most talented among the emerging vanguard of musicians.
This year, when I combed through the shining moments of 2003, I had fond memories of stellar albums from artists like OutKast, Prefuse 73, the White Stripes, The Rapture, The Strokes and Basement Jaxx. I also stopped to consider the commercial successes of folks like Beyoncé Knowles, Britney Spears, 50 Cent and Dave Matthews — all of whom released albums that, despite my frequent anti-pop posturing, I could not stop listening to.
I realized that, as my mind wandered from musician to musician, it became increasingly hard for me to think about just music, because 2003, as we lived it, was quite a collective experience.
2003 saw unprecedented creativity, expression and experimentation but the themes that dominated our musical consciousness were still very much the same.
Though we came up with better ways to express our fascinations, vices, desires and triumphs,we are still largely concerned with drugs, misguided love, endless partying, and the acquisition of cash.
If these folks captured the best that we had to say, then what, exactly were we saying?
If the music we choose is a reflection of our collective condition, then we have several conditions to address. In this land of assumed wealth and opportunity for all, we started this year by choosing a spokesperson whose vow was to Get Rich or Die Trying.
venue
venue
Though I've never believed in the meritocratic ideal of the American dream, it's painful to consider that success is now being brokered and articulated not in terms of work or sacrifice but in terms of one's ability to simply maintain life.
Well, that, or as 50 Cent so captivatingly expresses, to endorse the type of activity — drugs, prostitution, murder — that robs others of it.
As we continued this year, the multiple millions of us who shelled out the requisite $11.95 found ourselves absolutely Dangerously in Love.
The elusive emotion didn't only plague Beyoncé, it got us all. If we allowed the Billboard charts to speak for us, the pursuit of love spread us in multiple expressive directions from playin' to pimpin' to indulging in all that Kelis deemed as Tasty, we found ourselves in a rather unhealthy cycle of objectifying sex and calling it love, and commercializing love while calling it sex.
OutKast's Andre 3000 took us on a search to reclaim The Love Below, and in many ways the search intensified to the point that it took a return from some of love's greatest advocates to show us the musical way. Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Earth, Wind & Fire, Gerald Levert and the Isley Brothers all stepped back into the limelight of 2003.
Each time I discuss the trends I see underneath the music, folks are always quick to tell me,"Cornelius, it's just entertainment, brother."
If it is just entertainment that which we consume as a diversion then, we chose with our dollars to consume and exemplify violence, excess, and sex as an escape from what? War? Widening inequality Economic instability? Very likely.
What if the music we choose is not a reflection of our collective condition, but the exact opposite? What if we, inversely, are the music that we consume: clones, as the Neptunes reminded us with song after manufactured space-age song?
By blindly accepting the excessive lifestyles that the industry pitches to us, are we not then complicating the very issues that we were seeking to escape in the first place?
change, Cornelius? Who's going to be hot?"
Back in November people were already asking me about my predictions for 2004. "What's going to
Here I sit mid-January, still somewhat unable and a bit afraid to tell because, though we witnessed some groundbreaking talent in the '03, if what was hot last year continues to be hot for '04, then, sadly, nothing will change.
In our short lifetimes we've already witnessed the abandonment of the pop musical standard "pretty girl" for contemporary "hoez." Lyrical innovation has become covert marketing, and the desire for skill has become a lust for riches. Progressive groups play to half-filled venues and struggle to move product. Again, if current trends continue, then I'm afraid for the musical experience that lies in the 12 months ahead of us.
How then do we begin to change trends? I'm going to speculate that whatever does change has to begin not on the radio or at the record store but with us.
Whether these artists speak for us or we live our lives according to the realities that they dictate, one thing is certain: The industry-manufactured culture that we consume impacts us in ways that affect our living. To reverse these trends, we must live in ways that affect how the industry manufactures culture—that means supporting artists who stand for something. It means supporting local talent. It means demanding quality not catchy beats and slick marketing, but honesty, integrity and respect.
As we move into a new year of musical creativity and expression, we cannot begin to expect more of the industry unless we can first start expecting more of ourselves.
If all we hear is what others want us to hear, what becomes of what we think, what we feel and what we do? Are we to allow industry to control that as well?

Party Arty...
by. Mike Bauer
Jayplay writer
About a year ago Jay Gordon and Jenny Long had the idea of starting an art gallery. They wanted to create an artistic outlet outside of the co-op house that they lived in. Gordon and Long wanted to start a gallery that was not only a place to display art, but a place that would allow artists to turn the fantasies in their heads into reality.
Gordon and Long's idea turned into the Grimshaw Gallery, 731 New Hampshire St. which will celebrate it's one-year anniversary Friday from 8 p.m to 10 p.m.
Gordon says the anniversary exhibition will be up for three weeks and will feature artwork from several of the rent-paying "tenants," as the gallery calls those who occupy the studio spaces. The exhibition will feature current tenants, some of the gallery's original tenants, and a few new tenants.
The artwork in the studios is definitely not something you'd find in a traditional art museum. Sculptures,made of material such as duct tape, wax and bones, are hanging in some of the dark studio spaces. One artist is working on an ink drawing with a naked woman on the left side of the piece and dotted patterns spread throughout the rest of it.
What also makes the Grimshaw Gallery interesting is how far from normal the place appears. Instead of a typical, well-lit showroom, the gallery has minimal lighting. The studio spaces are
even darker. The building also has an old, creaky wooden floor that gives the studio spaces the feel of an old barn. Just about any conceivable object can be found on the floor, on a desk or hanging on a wall beside items such as bicycles, computer boards and other old and dusty items found throughout the studio spaces. Gordon's studio space even has animal bones living around.

Kalidamon says everyone's work has improved since the gallery's opening.
Long says the gallery has been a learning experiment as artists go through ups and downs and as some leave for various reasons. The tenants of the gallery have strong hopes for the future, including dances and a February hip-hop show with an emcee.

Think your friends are crazy for wearing thongs? Think again. That bit of butt floss doesn't have to be as uncomfortable as it looks.
photo by Eric Braem
100%
The pants are perfect. They fit your waist and your hips. They make you look great. That is, until you turn around and people start singing "I see London, I see France..." Not even your whitest panties can hide.
You need a thong.
Don't worry, it's not as bad as you think. Thongs might look like a 12-hour wedgie, but looks can be deceiving. Sarah Workman, sales associate at Kieu's, 738 Massachusetts St., wears nothing but thongs. She says you just get used to them after a few days. "You forget about them and you don't have to worry about pulling underwear out of your butt," she says.
A new panty that combines the comfort and coverage of a boy short and the invisible panty line of a thong has arrived. The thong boy, available at Soap Momma, 735 Massachusetts St., is one of the store's best sellers.
If that doesn't convince you, this should: Not all thongs are equal. If you've had bad experiences with one kind, you still might find bliss with another.
Erin Courtney, sales associate at Soap Momma, says the thong boy is
more flattering on some women than regular thongs and g-strings because your entire butt doesn't show and there is still no panty line. Brooke Pyle, another sales associate at Soap Momma, used to avoid thongs. Now she swears by the thong boy.
Thong boys are made out of lace, so they're sexy too. They cost between $20 to $28 at Soap Momma.
G-strings, despite their intimidation factor, can also be more comfortable than the traditional thong. The difference between a thong and a g-string is the size of the actual thong area. In other words, the width of what is in between your cheeks.
Workman says wearing a gstring is pretty much like wearing nothing at all. You can't feel a thing, and what you can't feel can't make you squirm. Athong has a bit more coverage but takes more time to get used to.
Fabric also makes a difference, but that's more of a personal preference. At Soap Momma, Pyle recommends soft, smooth mesh thongs. Workman, however, says that silk or satin are best. At Weavers' Department Store, 901 Massachusetts St., lingerie clerks steer customers toward cotton.Because you can't try thongs on, Workman suggests rubbing the fabric on the skin of your arm to see which you like best.
Comfort is key to wearing a thong, but image is important too. A couple years ago it was all the rage to show off your thong above the line of your jeans. Just so you know, that trend is deader than Jimmy Hoffa.
"I always thought it was trashy," Workman says. "It was just a little fad people went through. If I see it now, it's by accident."
Avoid fashion accidents with a low-rise or micro-mini thong. It'll set you back $7.99 at Kieu's or $16 at Soap Momma, but it's worth it. Save the debut for someone special, not the entire bar, restaurant, or even worse, your classmates behind you in Budig Hall.

As college students, we know the signs of sleep deprivation: nodding off during class, taking five-hour naps and feeling sleepy behind the wheel. We cram our schedules with academics, jobs and social lives. And what are we cutting out of our lives to make room for everything else? Sleep.
Colin Rohlfing knows sleep deprivation well. As an architectural engineering student, he spends the night before a big project in his studio in Marvin Hall wide awake. After a sleepless night, Rohlfing, St. Louis senior, tries to catch up by sleeping at least 10 hours the following night. He says his erratic sleeping habits have thrown off his sleeping cycle, depriving him of much-needed sleep and creating bad academic habits.
"I can now stay up all night long to do other things. It started off in my architectural studio. Then it went on to tests and papers in other classes," Rohlfing says. "I find myself being able to procrastinate."
Sleep, or lack of it, is a big problem for college students. Though the problem is most often sleeping habits, sometimes a diagnosable sleep disorder is to blame.Either way it's important to identify the problem and do something about it.
There are currently 88 documented sleep disorders, according to the International Classification of Diseases. The four symptoms to watch for are excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden loss of muscle control, falling asleep hallucinations and sleep paralysis, which is a period of paralysis upon waking. Other symptoms to take note of are waking with a very dry mouth or throat, morning headaches, snoring or sporadically stopping breathing while asleep.
One in four people experience some type of breathing disturbance during sleep according to the Web site for SleepMed, a national diagnostic and treatment services supplier for sleep clinics. Any sleep-deprived person can experience these symptoms, says Jennifer James, registered polysomnigraphic technician at somniTech Inc., a sleep disorders clinic in Overland Park. James says it's important to realize that people with sleep disorders are not sleep deprived. They have good sleeping habits, but still feel sleepy.
Sleep disorders are as prevalent as diabetes, affecting about 10 percent of Americans, and can diminish health and increase the risk of accidents at work, at home and on the road. Drivers who fell asleep at the wheel caused 897 accidents in 2002 according to the Kansas Department of Transportation's 2002 Kansas Traffic Accident Facts. Of the 88 documented sleeping disorders, experts say that 84 of them are known to affect daily life. Sleep disorder sufferers are hard to pick out because they don't appear ill, but they are closer than you think.
Ashley Smith, Tulsa, Okla., sophomore, had 37 absences her junior year of high school because sleep was her enemy. It took her mother an hour and a half to get her out of bed every day. Although each one of her absences was in her trigonometry/pre-calculus class, she still earned a high B. She was not a lazy adolescent; she had sleep disorders.
Although Smith had good sleeping habits she went to bed at a reasonable hour and got about eight hours of sleep she could not wake up for anything. If she was up late working on a project, it took her hours to fall asleep. Smith and her mother knew that there was more to her sleepiness than sleep deprivation. She spent two nights at a sleep lab in Tulsa to find out the cause of her problems and she was diagnosed with three sleeping disorders: sleep apnea, periods of stopped breathing during sleeping; light insomnia, difficulty falling or staying asleep; and symptoms of narcolepsy uncontrollable sleepiness and frequent daytime sleeping.
Smith's sleep disorders have affected her daily life. One weekend when she was in high school, she had
an incident with her parents' house alarm. With the alarm's speaker in her room, Smith's parents accidentally set off the alarm as they were leaving to run errands.
"Itwasgoingoffforthreeorfourhoursand I didn'thearitatall,"she says.
She now has an alarm clock that deaf people use to awaken them. In addition to a loud ring, the clock flashes a bright light in her face and shakes her pillow, but she says it still takes her 20 to 30 minutes to wake. Because of her alarm, Smith has her own room in her sorority house.
Sleep disorders have no known cause or cure, but they can be treated. Different treatments are used for different sleep disorders ranging from prescription drugs and nutritional supplements to psychological therapy and alternative medicine such as acupuncture.
Although Smith's problems are due to true sleep disorders, sleep deprivation is the bigger problem for most of us. Only 15 percent of Americans are getting adequate sleep, says Carol Guillaume, sleep specialist at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Sleep specialists use the term sleep hygiene to refer to sleeping habits. Just like brushing your teeth or flossing twice a day, good sleep hygiene is something to practice each day, just as you would for any physical hygiene, Guillaume says.
Nine hours is ideal for a night's sleep, Guillaume says, but because the college lifestyle doesn't always leave room for nine hours of sleep, there are steps you can take to get better sleep out of the hours you do have. Sleeping in regular, solid blocks, establishing a winddown routine before sleeping, and making your bedroom conducive to sleep are the three best ways to get better sleep.
Try to get to bed about the same time each night and wake at the same time. By establishing a routine sleep cycle, your body will know when to sleep and when to wake up,making you feel more rested when you wake. Guillaume suggests resisting the urge for long naps 30 to 45 minutes is OK — during the day, as they can throw off your sleep cycle. Keep a journal of your sleeping habits so that you can describe your sleeping habits to your doctor if need be.
Even if you feel exhausted after a busy day, stress can keep you lying in bed awake for hours. Try creating a rou-

One man's struggle with sleep deprivation
Day1
The first day of our experiment is a typical Friday for Ben. He wakes up at 9 a.m., goes to work and plans to hang out with his friends tonight. Because he is fresh off nine hours of sleep, he isn't showing or feeling any signs of sleep deprivation just a bit of apprehension about not being able to go to bed for two more days.
Day2
I am talking with Ben during his 28th hour of consciousness. He sounds alert and pretty relaxed about the task at hand, but I can sense his irritation about having to stay up another full day.
On this Saturday afternoon, he's feeling a bit sleepy. "Zombiness" in his words. But he is trying to stay alert with lots of visuals and sound such as movies, television, books, music and people. He's also using nature's favorite cure for fatigue: caffeine. Three or four pots of coffee should do the trick, he says.
Although he wishes he could have had a project to keep him stimulated like he did in college, his current wooziness seems to be no cause for concern. "I'm a bit of an insomniac anyway," he says. "I have trouble getting to sleep and it's just as easy to stay awake."
That's what I thought when I chose to drive back from Wichita at 5 a.m. I don't believe that he's OK with this lack sleep. Let's see how you feel tomorrow, Ben.
Day3
It's 2 p.m. on Sunday and Ben sounds trashed.I knew that after 40 hours on no sleep I would get some kind of reaction from him, but nothing like this. He sounds extremely groggy and is slurring his words.I ask him how he feels.
There is silence on the phone as if he has to think about it. After a pause, and with a much lower tone, Ben answers with an abrupt, "Very tired."
Perhaps sleep deprivation also causes one's inner monologue to become verbal. While taking a brisk walk on this frigid January day, Ben stops in the middle of the Cork and Barrel parking lot, 901 Mississippi St., looks off into the horizon and says, "Everything would be better if it were all on fire."
His current physical and mental states prove the scientifically proven correlation between the effect of alcohol and the effect of sleep deprivation. You could check off each of Ben's reactions on the back of an anti-alcohol brochure: difficulty thinking straight, delayed reaction time, slurred speech and feeling numb or woozy.
Clinical symptoms and references to Armageddon aside, he says he just doesn't feel right. He hasn't been able to do anything productive for the past 12 hours—not even watching TV. "Consciousness becomes an active thing by itself," he says.

Day 4
Experiment complete. Our subject falls asleep after 54 hours of consciousness, not long after I had talked to him yesterday. On this Monday evening, he says he feels much better, or as he put it, "Much, much, much better." Not surprising because he says he slept for 19 hours last night.
Wow. Although he still feels a bit fatigued, he was able to wake up for work which he seems pretty happy to be back doing now. "I had forgotten what being productive felt like," he says.
During our experiment, Ben was never under the influence of alcohol or operating a motor vehicle. Ben's episode with sleep deprivation was a controlled experiment used to illustrate its physical and mental effects. Although none of the information is scientifically, biologically or psychologically proven, simply seeing sleep deprivation affect our trooper Ben shows how important it is to get adequate sleep. So tonight, instead of deciding to drive from Wichita at 5 a.m., do what I should have done - go to bed.
TO SLEEP OR NOT TO SLEEP by Kim Elsham
by Kim Elsham
The longest I have ever stayed up is for 35 hours.I was visiting my friend in Wichita and had to drive back early one morning to work at 8 a.m. in Lawrence. My friend and I had gone out in Wichita until 2 a.m.and I had to start driving at 5 a.m.I saw no point in a three-hour nap so I hit the road on no sleep — something I will never do again. With my frequent, gaping yawns and quick snaps back to consciousness, I found out firsthand how important adequate sleep can be.
Jayplay found a willing participant for our first-ever Jayplay sleeping experiment. Ben Burgen, who graduated in December with degrees in anthropology and international studies, gave his body to our version of medicine and agreed to stay up as long as he could.
Ben has had his share of sleepless nights because of college. Right before he graduated, he says he was staying up for a couple days at a time. Because Ben seemed like a seasoned participant in pulling all-nighters, we had him stay awake for 54 hours more than his

Big Fish
PG.13, 125 minutes, South Wind 12 Theatres
Tim Burton feast will be shown to hear the family comes together of Edward Susserman's turned into a populer. The sentimental result of Burton's metamorphosis is Big Fish.
In his tenth feature, Burton dives into the impossibly fair tales sung by Walter Bloom (Albert Finney) an artful dodger determined to take the real story of his life to the grave, much to the exasperation of his journalist son, Will Billy Crudup.
Played in flash back by Ewan McGregor once to see the Star Wars bunch doing well—Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman fare even better in Shattared Glass and Cold Mountain. Walter was a small-town nobody before he grew several inches in a day befriended a carrie/werewolf named Amos (Danny DeVito) and met the love of his life, Sanera (Alison Lohmann).
The first half is a breeze but then it becomes clear the film is never going to show us who the real Walter was. Wooen up as exasperated as Will.
Button's distinct visual style produces some of 2002's most spectacular cinematography, but the way he paints the real world as bandland feels like the only escape feels like the article wish fulfillment of a very coolish Grade: B

Chasing Liberty
PG.13, 111 minutes, South Wind 12 Theatres
You know when you see a preview and think to yourself "why does Hollywood continue to underestimate its young audience with this teenybopper trash?" Movies like Chasing Liberty are what you're thinking of. These films use formulas that suck you in and even in their cheese-infested world of recycled plots they still manage to make a girl wish that would happen to her.
Mandy Moore is Anna Foster, a girl with many suitors that are all scared off by the fact that she is the First Daughter and her presidential father has her tailed by agents night and day.
On their way to Prague, Czech Republic, Anita and her father make a deal to give her one night away from prying eyes. When Dad disregards said deal, Anna decides to escape so she can have some fun. During her escape she happens onto the motorcycle of a beautiful man with an accent (Matthew Gould), who whisks her away from diction's minions.
The funks that resusan are of no surprise to anyone, but I was surprised by Google and Moore's chemistry, fun and uncharacteristically appealing. Below line is the film is or original and inspirily cutesy. I predicted the film's away attempt at creativity but still found myself against try wilt, sweoting.

The final words spoken by Marc Bianchi on Her Space Holiday's last album, Manic Expressive, are, "for whatever reason, for the first time in my life, things may actually work out." These words are the capstone to an album that bursts with positive emotions of love and artistic fulfillment.
Unfortunately for Bianchi, the year following Manic Expressive was a turn for the worse, culminating in the death of his mother and a breakup with his girlfriend Keely, the muse for Manic Expressive.
The result is The Young Machines a bitterly honest album that details the pain of breakups, death, drug addiction and the pressure of the media spotlight. The band mixes indie-pop songwriting with glitchy electronic beats and huge string arrangements.

Joe Henry— Tiny Voices
Joe Henry has been making music for a long time, which should count for something. Henry's first album dropped in 1986. Tiny Voices marks record number eight for his catalogue. Through time Henry has worked with members of the Jayhawks, evolved from electric to acoustic and everywhere in between. More recently Henry worked to produce Solomon Burke's latest release.
With Tiny Voices one can almost smell the decayed hopes, dirty ash trays and stale beer of a jazz lounge. Henry incorporates several reed instruments, trumpets and keyboards that give all the songs a haunting desperation. The lyrics are marvelous, giving the album both credibility and filling out the lush jazz musical backdrop. Tiny Voices also explores the genres of funk, pop and blues that rounds out the albums sound. Check out Joe Henry for a musician that has truly polished his craft.

HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE MY FILLINGS
Unfortunately, my new dentist informed me that I have what8 called "viscous saliva." Apparently, it's stickier than mineral saliva and trans particles of ramen and potatoes against my teeth in a waf of goo. Then, as my teeth smooth together (as I told they do after age 18), those bits become stuck between the teeth and fester into five ever deepening tunnels to my nerves.
Fortunately, my new dentist also introduced me to nitrous oxide. Unlike my stingy, sadistic high school dentist, my college dentist is willing to give me another anesthesia for the original anesthesia. It's not something I'd do outside the dental chair, but it's interesting and takes my mind off the needle, instead of long, steely proboscises dancing through my head. I spend my dental surgery contemplating just what the hell is playing over the Muzak PA system.
It is coming to you when whop just whop whop want to whop whop whop have whop fun.
Read well because one of the more interesting effects of nitrous oxide is its ability to make every sound, be it the dentist's voice or a Cyndi Launer song, sound as though it's coming to you through a helicopter blade.
I also spend a lot of time wondering who's picking the music at my dentist's office. The playlist seems to feature typical office Eric Clapton ballads and mellow rock but will, every so often, suddenly toss you something like Cyndi Lauper or the Ramones. Once, they were playing this piano solo that sounded weirdly familiar. After putting as much of my diminished thought processes as possible into interpreting it, I realized that it was a lyric less Muzak version of Niyana's "Come As You Are." I have trouble getting people to believe this wasn't just the nitrous talking.
But my dentist believes me. My dentist understands. The first time he put me on the otusre he stopped midway through drilling to make sure I heard, "She Bop," on the PA. He explained that they try to play a lot of Cyndi Lauper because Cyndi Lauper my dentist is off a first name basis with everybody I produces a very calming effect in his patients.
Anyway, it works for me. Works so well, in fact, that going to the my cavities filled is actually a pleasant experience. I almost look forward to it. Granted, I'm not going to run out and buy a whole box of Lafty Taffy in an attempt to induce cavities anytime soon, but if Fendup with another one it's not going to be such a traumatic experience. Not now that I have a friendly dentist, Cyndi Lauper and plenty of pitrons exile.

Washington takes hiatus
Women's basketball coach leaves for medical reasons
By Ryan Greene
rgreene@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
Holding back tears, Marian Washington announced yesterday that she will take a medical leave of absence effective immediately as coach of the Kansas women's basketball team.
Washington, in her 31st year as the Kansas coach, has never missed a game in her tenure, but asked Kansas athletics director Lew Perkins for some time to tend to "personal" medical issues.
"Obviously, I've been dealing with some health issues for quite some time." Washington said at a press conference. "You tend to dismiss yourself because of your commitments to your players, to your program, to your university and I tried to do that. I'm hopeful that everything will be OK, and I'm going to do everything I can now to take care of myself."
Washington was accompanied into the John Hadl Auditorium hand-in-hand by Perkins, followed by her assistant coaches. A handful of other Kansas varsity coaches were in attendance to give support.
Washington first asked Perkins for a leave of two to three weeks, and was told to take as much time as she needed. She then addressed her players yesterday morning along with Perkins. The news came to the team just two days before tomorrow night's home game against Oklahoma State.
"We obviously have a game, and have to get ready for that," Perkins said. "We have some very strong young women who understand. The students were obviously upset about hearing not only the fact that coach is taking a leave of absence, but that she has some medical issues."
"I would hope to always serve this university, and certainly Lynette Woodard in any way I can, but I will be having to take some time away from here. Whatever I can do, whenever I can do it, I will."

While there is no solid time frame for Washington's return to the sideline, Perkins appointed fifth-year assistant coach and former Kansas standout Lynette Woodard as the interim head coach.
See the editorial on page 4A that goes with this story.

"I think that she will be supported tremendously." Washington said. "I would hope to always serve this university, and certainly Lynette Woodard in any way I can, but I will be having to take some time away from here. Whatever I can do, whenever I can do it, I will." Tomorrow will mark the first absence from the sidelines in a coaching career that includes 559 victories, seven conference titles and six conference tournament championships.
"She was a pioneer in women's basketball long before it was fashionable, and what she's accomplished here goes without saying," Perkins said. "But there are more important things, and that's her as a person."

The last time he came to the University of Kansas, J.C. Watts Jr. was running for his life on the football field at Memorial Stadium. Last night, he spoke of another kind of competition.
An audience of 1,200 listened as Watts spoke about the importance of family, education, tax reduction, Social Security and competition within businesses and the government. He criticized the government and said the United States was having more problems with taxes than ever.
"You have to find new ways of dealing with these problems." Watts said.
Watts went from the poor side of the tracks in Oklahoma to an Oklahoma Sooners football star and then served as a Republican congressman for eight years. During that time, he was chairman of the House Republican Conference, the fourth highest position in the House of Representatives. He left Congress in 2002 to spend time with his family.
Parents should be able to put their kids in public schools to learn to be successful, according to Watts. Poor people should not be forced to put their kids in bad schools because the opportunity of education is important.
"After eight years in Congress, I said, I'm not doing it anymore. I'm staying home." Watts said.
He talked about family during his speech at the Lied Center, presented by the J.A. Vickers Sr. and Robert F. Vickers Sr. Memorial Lecture series.
Stressing the importance of money, Watts mentioned picking up pennies at fast food drive-thrus because they had value.
"My father told me, 'If you don't
"My father told me, 'If you don't understand the value of a penny, you won't understand the value of a dollar,"

He said there was a need for more taxpayers, not higher taxes. A way to establish that would be to create an environment for people to expand businesses to get into the marketplace.
understand the value of a penny, you won't understand the value of a dollar," Watts said.
As a businessman, he knows the importance of helping others and of competition in the workplace.
"I have to get up every day knowing that if I don't take care of my customers, somebody else will," he said. Watts is chairman of J.C. Watts Companies, which help develop businesses in small towns.
William L. Fuerst, dean of the school of business, said people could learn
about pressing issues in Washington through Watts.
"Congressman Watts is establishing himself as a leading legislator at the U.S. level, and he's very knowledgeable," Fuer said.
Watts' knowledge brought him far, not just through his own education but through family. His father spent just two days in seventh grade, but was intelligent and worked hard for his family. Having a father figure in his life was important and he wanted to go to more of his children's parent-teacher conferences, basketball games and dance recitals.
Laura Martincich, Shawnee junior, said respected his values.
"I liked how he didn't focus solely on political matters but on how his family was important to him," she said.
Nick Wright, Olathe junior, said Watts had a good political influence on him. He did not pay attention to politics before, but hearing Watts opened his eyes.
"It gave me an awakening and showed me politics has a lot to do with what's going on in the world," Wright said.

Students unaware of free bus

Platforms in action
Jayhawk Express bus driver Bob Skulskie had been on the job only a few days, but he already had an idea to get more riders.
Every Friday The University Daily Kansan will review one of the platform issues of past Student Senate
coalitions to update readers on how the programs have progressed. This is the first article in the series. Next week, we will look at last year's KUnited coalition's "Have a Say Before You Pay," the coalition's initiative to help offset tuition increases.
"They should put 'free bus' on the front, then I bet they'd have full ridership." Skulskie said.
The Jayhawk Express is the free on-campus bus service that Student Senate began last fall.
As temperatures fall and snow begins to fly, more students are being drawn to the Jayhawk Express, but some still avoid it because they don't know that the bus is free and don't know where it goes. Skulskle said half of the riders still try to show him a pass.
Tim Akright, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said it was too early to judge the effectiveness of the Jayhawk Express. The bus had seen an increase in users similar to other programs like Saferide, but it would take a whole year to evaluate, he said.
The Jayhawk Express averaged 114 riders per day in September, its first month of operation. That figure rose to 142 in October and has held steady at about 150 riders per day since.
Akright said he thought a string of

Student Senate may add new sections to Web site
Student Senate added a new section to its Web site last week to provide more information about Senate projects. Senators began posting projects yesterday. The address is www.ku.edu/-senate.
New items on the site include a suggestion box for student ideas, a search engine for previous legislation, forms for writing and submitting legislation and a location for senators and committees to post their projects.
The project posting link is the site's newest addition. As of yesterday at 4 p.m., three projects were listed; an engineering snack cart in Eaton Hall, a parking meter reform initiative to make metered parking free on-campus after 5 p.m. and a student advertising subcommittee.
Kyle Johnson, engineering senator was listed as project leader for all three of the listed projects.
Two bills proposing more updates to the Senate Web site passed committees on Wednesday and will be voted on by full Senate next week. The bills, authored by Scott McKenzie, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, would ensure all Senate rules and regulations changes would be posted to the Web site, as well as the meeting times for all Senate boards and committees.

Touring theater group to bring 'American Idol' to Lawrence
Tomorrow night, a local touring theater troupe for children will bring American Idol to Lawrence.
The Seem To Be Players will host a talent show called the River City Revue 7 p.m. tomorrow at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St.
The show's theme is America's most Idol, and is based on the format of the popular reality TV show that is in its third season.
The revue will have a panel of local celebrity judges, said Ric Averill, show coordinator.
The winner of the semi-competitive show will receive a free dinner at Pachamama's restaurant, 2161 Quail Creek Drive, and the judge's favorite selection will receive a dinner at Stone Canyon, 3801 W. Sixth St. Various other prizes will be awarded at the competition. Averill said.
"This is an event that started over 15 years ago as a talent show, and we're bringing back the competition in a fun way,"Averill said.

Committee will review bill to force clergy to report abuse
TOPEKA — Members of the clergy would be added to the list of professionals who must report suspected child abuse under legislation that has drawn mixed reactions from religious officials.
The bill would place the mandatory reporting requirement upon ordained ministers and "any custodian of records" for a minister. But ministers would not have to report something disclosed in confessions or other "penitential" conversations meant to remain confidential.
Classics for lunch
The Rev. H. Sharon Howell, senior pastor at Lawrence's First United Methodist Church, told the House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee yesterday that members of the clergy should see such reporting as aiding victims.
Representatives of the state's Roman Catholic dioceses and Kansas Ecumenical Ministries said they could support the bill if two sections were deleted.

Holiday party starts today
Students celebrate Chinese New Year with food, songs
By Jodie Kraftt
jkraftt@kanans.com
Kansans staff writer
With fireworks, dancing and dumplings, millions of people across the world celebrated Chinese New Year and ushered in the Year of the Monkey Jan. 22.
Celebrations at the University of Kansas will begin today with a Chinese New Year Party from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
LeaMarie Herron, event coordinator, said interest had increased considerably over the years. Last year's attendance was about 100. This year she expected more. Better publicity and more KU classes coming to the events contributed to
the increase. Herron said.
Herron said most of the students who participated in the events were actually American, either majoring in Asian studies or taking an Asian class.
Bailey Skiles, Marion senior, said she would most likely go to the party this afternoon. Skilles studied abroad in Hong Kong for business during the Fall 2002 semester but left before new year celebrations began.
"Students there get one to two weeks off of school, and a lot of people travel and visit their families," Skiles said.
Skiles said she enjoyed traditional Chinese dishes in Hong Kong and was looking forward to eating them at the party.
"Real Chinese food is very different than Americanized Chinese food," Skiles said. "It's not like anything you're going to find in Kansas, but I liked it ultimately."
Herron said the party, sponsored by the Center for East Asian Studies, would be as traditional as possible. From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. students and faculty can sample treats such as dumplings, rice cakes, sesame candies, melon seeds and oranges and sing Chinese songs.
"Most Chinese celebrations involve food and fireworks," Herron said. "But of course we're not allowed to set off fireworks on campus."
Tailan Chi, associate professor of international business, will experience the festivities for the first time as he helps to make 1,000 dumplings from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Chi said cultural events were beneficial to all students.
"It's a very good way to facilitate cultural exchanges and to stimulate student interest in other cultures and countries," Chi said.

Chinese ring in New Year

In legend, the order of Chinese time began with a race.
Twelve animals gathered at the edge of a river, each wanting to be the one to lead the Chinese cycle of years. When they set out, each animal used its own special skills to try to win.
In the end, the mouse scurried first to the shore, and the pig, having decided to have a lunch as the rest were racing, came in last, and was doomed forever to remain fat.
This year, the wheel of Chinese time turns again, and it lands on the wily monkey. Mainland Chinese mark the coming of the new year with a vibrant 15-day spring festival. People receive up to seven days vacation, and cover the streets with decoration.
"To us its a big thing," Lian Kuai Ting, Beijing, graduate student said. "When the spring festival comes we will get a lot of
things to eat and new dress."
The Chinese New Year began on Jan. 22, and the celebration period will run until about Feb. 8. Local celebrations of the lunar new year are similar to the national Chinese galas in that they all share an underlying spirit.
"It's a time of renewal." Sheree Willis, China program director for The Kansas Asia Scholars, said. All of the customs surrounding the spring festival or Chinese New Year emphasize hope for the new year, prosperity and an emphasis on family, Willis said.
These might include firing massive chains of fire crackers to scare away evil spirits, hanging bright red coupless written in Chinese characters around the doors or hanging signs with words such as "prosperity," or "happiness" upside down.
"They do that because the Chinese word for arrive and upside down are homophonous," Willis said.
happiness to come to them in the new year.
By doing this they, in effect, bid
Another custom widely observed during the Chinese New Year involves bright red envelopes. Filled with money and called hang pao, these are given to the youth and unmarried by elders and married couples.
The youth in turn, honor their elders by wishing them a good new year and bowing in respect, Ting said. People also pay off debts, clean house and buy new clothes to start the new year fresh.
In Malaysia, sometimes people hire costumed lion dancers to dance in front of houses to summon good luck, Eugene Lau, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, graduate student said.
In the United States, though, the celebrations are much more simple, but still stress the value of togetherness.
"It's sort of like Thanksgiving," Lau said.

Thoughts of Mars captivate students
All it might take is a microbe. One microscopic fossilized organism, or even proof of onceflowing water, could change the world.
As Spirit, NASA's multimillion-dollar scientific mobile robot, and its twin sister, Opportunity, slowly rove across the rusted dirt of Mars, possible existence of past or present life on the red planet captures the world's mind.
"There might be places where life might be more likely but we don't have access to them," Adrain C. Melott, professor of physics and astronomy, said. "So Mars is it for now."
With such a search, the Red Planet rises on the minds of KU students.
"I think it's possible there might have been microbial life on Mars," Brian Thomas, Lawrence graduate student, said. "But the big question is if there was once running water."
Even if thoughts of life doesn't catch imaginations, other aspects of Mars make students think.
"Microbes wouldn't excite me," Andrew Willey, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior, said. "I'm more excited by the commercial prospects the geology and new rock formations might offer."
If life is discovered, though, the revelation could have great impact in religious circles.
Especially in some Western faiths, some adjustments might be needed, Sandra Zimdars-Schwartz, religious studies professor, said.
Thad Holcombe, campus minister and director at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, sees an advantage in Mars exploration.
"Finding signs of life would be wonderful," Holcombe said. "It wouldn't surprise me, and it

might help some people realize humanity might not be at the center of the universe after all."
For other faiths, the possible discovery of life may end up fueling discussion.
"I think for the Jews our favorite pastimes are arguing, debating and questioning," Polli Kenn, program director at KU Hillel, said. "I don't think it would throw a wrench in our beliefs, but it would give us something else to argue about."
As information is continually beamed back to Earth from the rovers, reality seems to border on science fiction.
Even if no information confirms past or present life on Mars, the pull of Mars is still strong to some.
James Gunn, professor emeritus and director of the Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction, attended a conference in China six years ago where he met several veterans of the space program.
"I asked two astronauts who were guests there whether or not they would accept a mission to Mars even if they knew the chances were small that they could return," Gunn said. "They said, 'Like a shot!'"

New printing fee no blessing to University students
KU students are paying again
As tuition goes up, students are still bearing the burden for services tuition should cover.
Beginning this semester, students have to pay for computer printouts. In previous semesters, students just brought the paper. The cost is eight cents per print. In itself, this is not a high price to pay for even a 10-page paper. In the course of a semester, this can add up.
The Kansas Union computer lab also cut back on hours last semester. The hours this semester are 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.

after lab hours, with the excused With the increases in tuition and fees, why don't we have
money to keep the computer labs open? Why does University ink now cost?
The third floor of the Anschutz Library, where there are no computers, is now the only 24-hour study zone.
It is not the student's fault that the University is lacking in funds. Tuition increases of $40 per credit hour during the past three years have given the University some money. Students have paid their dues and deserve a quality education. We need a computer lab with sufficient hours; we need free printing.

son from the abuse he took. However some Big 12 teams, including Kansas State, still offer seats to students around the opposing bench area and at half court. The belief is that it creates a more "hostile" and louder arena for opposing teams to play.
While this works for some, Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for internal affairs, said it was not needed for Kansas.
Kansas. "It's not necessary to sit students there to create a great home atmosphere," Marchiony said." KU already has one of the best home courts in the conference and even the country."
even the country.
Marchiony is right about the amazing basketball venue that is Allen Fieldhouse. After all, Kansas State, for its great student seats, hasn't defeated Kansas in Manhattan since 1983. Kansas State's "new" arena, Bramlage Coliseum, opened in 1988, has yet to see the Wildcats take home a win against the Jayhawks. But the points system will prolong the stiffing of the students.
long the timing of the new program, the more money donated by the ticket-holder, the better chance that ticket-holder will have to purchase a great seat. The idea is that alumni will cough up more and more money in an effort to keep the seats. This money then increases the athletics department's revenue, giving it a previously untapped source of money. Perkins was successful with a similar program at the University of Connecticut.
Kansas pulled in almost $5.7 million last season in ticket sales, according to the NCAA gender equity survey. Students only account for approximately $400,000 of that money. Obviously
alumni members aren't going to shell out the big bucks for the point seating process if the seats offered are less than stellar. While the extra revenue is fine and dandy for the athletics department, it still leaves the students with less than spectacular seating.
seating.
So here is what I propose: Keep the point seating program. This generates money from the alumni, and keeps the higher-ups happy. But give the students one side of the court.
Students make the school go. If there are no students, there is no school. If there is no school, there is no athletics department.
department.
As for that donation thing, students donate plenty of money. It may not go to
the athletics department, but the fact that we all pay $5,000-$10,000 in tuition each year counts as a pretty massive donation. Add it up over all of us students, carry the five, and we account for more money to the University than any single donor. And don't forget, alumni were once students too. We are the future, and if KU athletics wants to survive 20 to 40 years down the road, they better start taking notice of the potential donors now.
Students should receive better seats at the game. After all, it just doesn't make sense to toss your biggest supporting body up in the rafters.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Senate supports distinction
The Kansan article, Men lacking distinction, Senate rejects calendar, Jan. 29., focused on the wrong points; in actuality most people aren't against the existence of such a calendar; they are against the way that the project is being proposed.
Student Senate has always been tight fisted with money. We have limited funds. When a group comes to Senate seeking funding the group needs to prove itself as an organization that will add benefit the student body, and has interest. Expensive projects have higher standards to meet, as we must be assured the money will be put to good use.
The problem with the Men of Distinction calendar is the group sponsoring the bill. This group failed to show that they had intent to actually make a calendar; they were instead only trying to prove a point and as James Owen said, "Spin it to the Kansan."
The group was focused on proving a point rather than proving to Senate that the project really needed this money and they had the logistical details of the project clearly worked out.

Defying expectation: not the 'ethnic go-to guy'
Cornelius Minor

COMMENTARY
"I'd like to welcome everybody ... What I want to do... to you... Naaaw, really it's for you... is open my mental window, hoping that you would climb in, or if not, at least look in. I want to take you to places that I've been" and to the places that I want to go..."
Like most people who you meet, there is much about me that you will find standard as I share my thoughts with you this semester. But at the same time there is even more, I'm sure, that you will find different, new, perplexing and hopefully challenging.
challenging.
My task here is to tell you what to expect, but when I think about the people who I've met in my lifetime, there is a theme among them that I find extraordinarily fascinating. All of them, in some way, tend to defy expectation. I'm not much different. Consider this then to be the first 500 words of my defiance.
the first 500 words of my life. They asked that I talk about myself—that I tell you who I am. Who I am is 25 years of work, growth, progress, pain, elation, confusion and triumph. As a child of ebony, brown and beige ancestors who refused to die, quit or be broken, who I am has been an eternity in the making. As a product of a community
that has nurtured my growth, invested in my success and willed my preservation, who I am is supported by the experience and well wishes of people too numerous to name.
Our experiences and the people that we have become as a result of those occurrences have made us particularly unique. It is in our nature to resist classification. I'm not much different. Consider this then to be the first 500 words of my resistance.
The lens through which I view the world is and in many ways is still being molded by my experience as a black male, but that does not make me any different than you. Statistically speaking (well, at least according to KU's Office of Institutional Research and Planning) if you are reading this on this campus, there is an 81 percent chance that you're white. That means that, no matter where
you grew up or who you did that growing up around, the way you see the world has been heavily influenced by your experience as white.
ence as white.
But I'm not here to have that discussion. There have been those brave and lonely black-, tan- and coffee-colored columnists who have wrestled with these ideas before me — long since leaving their ink trails on this paper. I'm not here to reinvent that movement for fair and equal representation in campus media; I'm here partly because I wish simply to resume it and to carry it forward. To all their efforts, consider this the first 500 words of my tribute.
I'm not the "ethnic go-to guy." I'm not the one that's going to write those "can't we all get along" columns, nor am I going to labor to paint white faces on non-white issues for the benefit of "mainstream" understanding.
steam understands.
People of color have long since mastered the complicated art of seeing, understanding and living multiple perspectives. Some of you 81 percent folks have a lot of catching up to do. Similarly, I'm not going to respond to inquiries about "what black folks think." Just as there are no secret meetings where white folks set up some sort of public agenda, there is no covert black opinion poll.
But I consider myself accountable.
to and rooted in a specific community, what you will hear from me is purely Cornelius. If you looked at my 32-tooth smile in the photo and thought, "Oh, he's not one of them," consider yourself warned. I am one of them, and because I'm armed with a pen, I'm probably a whole lot worse.
But there I go being dramatic again—oh, and I'm that, too. Additionally, I am like most folks. There are times when I will be lighthearted and times when I will not. There will be times when I am angry, spacey and yes there will even be times when I'm a tad insane, but in all those times you can expect me to be honest and fair. This column won't always make you feel good. At times I'll discuss issues that are problematic and challenging. It's hard to smile when presented with widespread poverty, violence, joblessness, etc. — just a few of the contemporary realities that people in America live every day. It's even harder to smile when we attempt to wrestle with solutions knowing that on some level we are all responsible. There's a lot going on. Luckily for you, this semester very little of it will escape the attention of my pen.

Organizer has grown up fighting domestic violence
Megan True/Kansan
By Samia Khan
skhan@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Lea Burgess-Carland is the volunteer program coordinator at the Women's Transitional Care Services, a battered women's shelter. Her mother worked with abused women, and she is following in her footsteps by encouraging others to help.
Lea Burgess-Carland was only in the first grade when her mother's friend showed up at her front door with a black eye. She witnessed her mother help the woman regain her strength and renew her life.
"I was scared, but I was too young to grasp the complexity of it," she said.
it, she said.
Now Burgess-Carland, 25, is surrounded by the complexity of domestic violence. She is the volunteer program director for Women's Transitional Care Services, a battered women's shelter and support network.
Her mother was a survivor of domestic abuse and began volunteering at the shelter in the late 1970s. At that time, it was the only shelter available to women in Kansas.
Burgess-Carland's mother went into labor with her while volunteering at the shelter. The
"It's a reality that I've always known about," she said.
place where Burgess-Carland nearly began her life has continued to play an important part of her life.
Even though her mother always discussed domestic violence with her at a young age, Burgess-Carland said it was college that helped her connect social factors and inequality to the issue of domestic violence. The shelter is a necessity for women who have no place to go or no money to feed their kids, she said.
Burgess-Carlton graduated from the University of Kansas last May in women's studies and English and continues recruiting volunteers for the shelter.
"I really love my job," she said. "Volunteers are so incredibly important. They inspire me."
Burgess-Carland said the initiative of a volunteer who bean soliciting donations to pay for transportation from school to the shelter for children showed the importance of volunteers. School
buses require a free to transport children from the shelter to the school if it fall outside the district. Many of the women could not afford the fee and their children were forced to switch between schools. Now, the mothers can draw from a fund of over a $1,000 to pay for buses and taxis.
Saida Bonifield, Lawrence senior, has known Burgess-Carland all her life. Bonifield said she began volunteering because of Burgess-Carland's encouragement. Foreign language speakers are a limited but important resource for the shelter, and Bonifield's Spanish skills have helped.
Like many of the volunteers, Bonifield is encouraged by Burgess-Carland's support in dealing with tough situations and crisis calls.
"She's a really positive person and somebody I can talk to," Boniffeld said.
Burgess-Carland understands an issue such as domestic violence can seem defeating. She is inspired further by knowing so
many people are willing to help without seeing any immediate progress.
"It's all the little things that make it worth it," she said.
The little things add up: A battered woman, who spoke no English and had no acquaintances, took a chance and walked into a restaurant, hoping the employees could communicate with her. The owner connected her with the shelter. A few months later the woman got a divorce, a job and an apartment with her three daughters, Burgess-Carland said.
Volunteering at THE SHELTER had given her rewards she didn't expect, Burgess-Carland said. She has connected with people who feel as passionately as she does about helping women with nowhere to turn.
"It's incredibly rewarding to feel like you're doing something and not just letting it happen," she said. "It's made me a stronger person."

low-temperature days would make the January ridership higher.
Erin McNeese, Manhattan senior, rode the Jayhawk Express yesterday. The Jayhawk Express service is a free bus route that stops at different campus locations.

FREE BUS: Lack of identity stalls route's progress
With temperatures in the low 20s Monday, Skulskie said he had seen the bus crowded at several points. The bus runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. By the time the bus stopped at the Kansas Union at 1:46 p.m., 135 passengers had ridden it. Skulskie said he expected possibly another 50 before the end of the day.
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Student body president Andy Knopp said he was still shooting for higher ridership.
Yesterday, with the temperature in single digits, the Jayhawk Express was nearly full when it stopped at Bailey Hall at 2:28 p.m. The driver said she couldn't release any ridership figures.
"We definitely want more, but it's really going to take time and better advertising," Knopp said. "Honesty, maybe 10 percent of students know the bus schedule. It's a constant battle to let people know."
it's a good idea to have a free bus, but I wish there would be more of them and that it would go to the dorms — especially when it's cold like this."
With only one route, Knopp and the Jayhawk Express may be caught in a catch-22. The program can't expand unless it shows high ridership, and some people don't ride because the bus doesn't come often enough and doesn't go where they need to go.
The Jayhawk Express makes a loop around campus and stops at the Kansas Union, the Jayhawk Bookstore, Robinson Center, Bailey Hall, JRP Hall and Ninth and Indiana Streets. The bus comes to each stop at 30-minute intervals. Schedules are available at the Student Senate offices, 410 Kansas Union.
Knopp said he had considered Skulskie's idea of putting "free bus" on the Jayhawk Express, but he said he wanted to give the bus an identity that would help distinguish it from other free buses if more routes were added in the future.
"I ride it anytime it's available," Jeff Dugas, Chicago sophomore, said. "If it was available more often I wouldn't have a bus pass. I think
Dugas was one of five riders on the Jayhawk Express at 1:46 p.m. Monday. All five said they knew the bus was free before they got on. The Park and Ride bus that stopped in front of Bailey a few minutes later had 16 riders.
Knopp said Roenfeldt's situation was typical. He said ridership was partially dictated by weather and that it had increased since the balmy fall months.
Sarah Roenfeldt, Dodge City junior, said she usually avoided all the buses and walked instead to get exercise. But she was riding the Jayhawk Express on Monday because of the cold and snow.
"When it's nice out it's harder to get people to pay attention to bus routes," Knopp said. "It's like selling umbrellas, one wants to buy until it's raining."

Coach Washington's exact medical difficulties were undisclosed, but she said there is no immediate threat to her life. She said her conditions can no longer be put off, and has reached a point where her health comes first.
"Anything can happen, that's what I'm worried about," she said. "I can't say that at this point I would be concerned about keeling over tomorrow, but the bottom line is that I need to have it checked out."

BASKETBALL: Team not focusing on defeat, working to improve
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A
Even though Miles' six successful attempts helped keep the Wildcats at bay, Self knew his point guard could still improve at the line.
"We did make them, but Aaron struggled," he said. "But I'm glad they fouled Aaron, because he needed to see the ball go into the hole."
Langford knew Kansas, which is one of the conference's best
teams at the free-throw line, can be a successful free throw shooting team. To do that, he said the team could not dwell on a couple of bad performances.
"We're confident in the way we shoot the ball," Langford said. "It did cost us a game, but you live and you learn. We're a real good free throw shooting team and we will continue to be."

Neither Woodard nor any other member of the team knew Washington was leaving until yesterday morning, when Washington told Perkins she needed a medical leave of absence.
When reporters asked Woodard whether she wanted to be a head coach, she said that she was in charge.
"I'm really proud of her, just that statement, because she is the head coach," Perkins said.
With a game looming against Oklahoma State in two days, the team does not have much time to think about Washington stepping aside.
"I think we'll dedicate the rest of the season to her," Woodard said. "We have a game plan, and we're going to go full-force."
Woodard said she had no intention of changing the team's style of play or game plan.
right now, we're just going to stick to the game plan we've been running," she said. "The offensive philosophy, the defensive philosophy, those things won't change right now."

Utah head basketball coach in hospital, might retire
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Rick Majerus has spent nearly 15 years in front of the Utah bench, glaring with his hands on his knees and his portly frame stretching his trademark cream-colored Utes sweater.
While he maintained an intense approach to the game, his health couldn't keep up. Majerus' run at Utah, which includes 10 NCAA tournament appearances, is either over or ending.
Majerus, who has a history of heart problems, spent Wednesday in a California hospital after suffering chest pains and plans to retire at the er. d of the season.
"I think we all love coach. He's done a great job," Utah guard Tim Drisdom said. "I think everybody will be with me when I say we all just want him to get better."
Majuser, 55, was released from a hospital in Santa Barbara, Calif., on Wednesday night. He may coach the team again if his health allows. If he doesn't, he'll
finish with a career record of 422-147 in 20 seasons, going 323-95 since taking over the Utes in 1989.
Assistant Kerry Rupp will coach the Utes in the interim, starting with Saturday's home game against state-rival BYU.
Majerus was the second coach this week to take a leave because of health reasons. Louisville's Rick Pitino took an indefinite leave Monday to determine the cause of the urological-related pain.
"Its been a strange week for the coaching fraternity — first Rick Pitino and now Rick Majerus," said Kentucky coach Tubby Smith, whose Wildcats beat Utah in the 1998 title game. "This profession can be physically and emotionally demanding."
Majerus flew to California after calling his cardiologist when he experienced chest pains Tuesday night in Salt Lake City. His health has been a concern since he had bypass surgery in
1989. Although the scare prompted Majerus to lose some pounds, his well-documented love of food put it back on. Combined with his explosive temper and relentless drive on his players, a heart attack was a strong possibility.
Toning down his style wasn't going to happen.
"I think he's a coach, a motivator. He will push to get the best out of his players," said former Ute Andre Miller, the point guard on the '98 national runners-up. "He's definitely a teacher. He definitely knows his basketball and the right way to play it."
He can also talk about it. Majerus charmed national audiences with his quick wit during the Utes' NCAA appearances and has also worked as a broadcast analyst. He denied reports last summer that he would be leaving the Utes for broadcasting, but friends and former players think it could be a good career think it could be a good career

Horoscope
Today's Birthday (Jan. 30)
You start out the year as a stick-in-the-mud homebody, but that's OK. You're fixing up your place, and that's an important task. After you've finished, you may have a good reason to entertain — and, of course, you'll have a place to do it. Dig in!
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6.
Take care of business for at least one more day. Then, you can run and play with your friends. Don't waste any time. Minimize distractions and keep on cranking.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 9.
Funish what you've been working on. Give yourself a sense of completion, even if you don't convince everyone. Your voice travels farther than you will ever know.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6.
You'd be smart to go along with whatever your boss has in mind. That holds true for your teacher or your guru, too. Comply.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
You can find a practical solution to just about any problem, although some problems pose more of a challenge than others. Don't give up. You're good at this.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
Remember to be respectful. Say "sir" or "madam" when appropriate. The person in charge of divvy up the loot will be impressed.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is an 8.
Drawing up lists and making plans qualifies as a first step toward your goal. Finish an old job as quickly as possible so that you can get to the new stuff.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
Getthe raw materials and putthem together yourself. You'll wind up with an item more valuable than anything you could have bought.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
If you're feeling pooped, let the other person drive. Relax and let
somebody else take charge. You won't lose a thing.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 6.
Don't talk much about a work in progress. It's not quite ready to be displayed. This isn't the same as being sneaky; it's more like working out the bugs.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is an 8.
Accepting love can be like drinking a tonic; it quiets a fearful mind. So don't second-guess a thoughtful gesture. Allow it to penetrate.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 6.
You'll soon be up and at 'em again, but there's no need to push. If you feel like fussing around your place instead of going out, that's OK.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
prepare for a gathering at your place, both physically and mentally. Traditions that you've established will bring stability, love and fun. If you don't have any traditions, make some up.

For 31 years and 915 consecutive games, one coach has proviled the sidelines by the Kansas women's basketball team. On Saturday, the clock resets.
With long-time head coach Marian Washington taking a medical leave of
absence, Kansas athletics director Lew Perkins named Kansas graduate and assistant coach Lynette Woodard as interim head coach.
Woodard played four seasons at Kansas and between 1978 to 1981, was named Kodak All-American four times.

All-American two times. After leaving Kansas, Woodard played in various professional leagues around the globe, including the Women's National Basketball Association.
While playing at the collegiate level, Woodard set a variety of records and still holds eight.
She holds school records for points, field goals, field goal attempts, rebounds, free throws made, free throws attempted,
steals and games played. Woodard has scored more points, 3,649, and made more field goals, 1,572, than any player in college women's basketball history.
With yesterday's announcement, the player who has played the most games at Kansas will step in for the coach who has coached the most games at Kansas.

Improvements key for Iowa State game

Despite two key conference victories since last Thursday's 69-68 loss to Richmond, there are still some lingering effects of the loss the Jayhawks will attempt to erase this weekend before they compete with the Cyclones.
Two main factors that led to the upset loss at home were struggles at the free throw line and a failure to close out an opponent late in the game.
Finding answers to both problems will be key if the Jayhawks (13-3 overall, 5-0 Big 12 Conference) want to succeed in a hostile Big 12 environment tomorrow at Iowa State (12-4, 3-2).
In the second half of Wednesday's 78-70 victory at Kansas State, the Jayhawks ballooned an 11-point halftime lead up to 21 points. However, the Wildcats' ability to out-rebound the Jayhawks' 45-33 and get 25 second-chance points allowed them to cut the deficit into single digits.
"Every road win in the conference is big, and we've got three of them right now," freshman forward J.R. Giddens said. "We're playing pretty good, I just hope we can go out there and keep fighting."

cant size advantage against the Jayhawks, but Kansas' big men once again found themselves in foul trouble. Starting forwards Wayne Simien and Jeff Graves were both in foul trouble for most of the second half, but men's basketball coach Bill Self now has some extra safety valves heading to Ames, Iowa.
The two combined for 10 points and seven rebounds. Foul trouble could once again be an issue for the Jayhawks, as the Cyclones have plenty of men who can drive to the basket and draw contact.
Wednesday also marked the fifth consecutive game that the Jayhawks have shot below 65-percent from the free-throw line. Junior guards Aaron Miles and Keith Langford made numerous trips to the free throw-line against Richmond. They each missed a pair at the line in the game's final three minutes, but came up big in the second half against the Wildcats. Langford went five-for-five from the line, and Miles was six-for-11.
