The Missouri coach's hair remains neatly combed and well-placed, but his face is beet-red, his eyes are bugging out and his mouth is a gaping "O" of disbelief. A graphic from the site dedicated to get Quin Snyder fired makes its position known. The creator posted the site after the Missouri loss to Syracuse. Meanwhile, he's holding his hands out about a foot apart above a caption that reads "I suck this much!" No, this site wasn't created by an avid Kansas fan. Its creator, "QuinMustGo," is a Missouri graduate who describes himself as "a Tiger fan, born and bred." He asked that his real name not be used because he had received threats of vandalism. His Web site, www.firequinsny- der.com, reflects his burning desire to see his alma mater fire Snyder. He said he started the site because of the Tigers' disappointing record and a recruiting scandal that has dogged the team all year. Missouri is under investigation by the NCAA after ex-player Ricky Clemons accused the administration of a host of violations, including paying players. A heated match-up is expected tonight between the Jayhawks and Tigers. See 1B. QuinMustGo said that he's little more than an "armchair coach," with no basketball expertise outside of playing the sport in high school. But, while some of the site's elements are humorous, he says he is dead serious about its message. "Every team struggles," QuinMustGo said, "but this year has been exceptionally poor, given the talent and expectations. Then you have to combine that with the last four years of chronic underperformance and ongoing ethical issues." QuinMustGo started the site after a loss to Syracuse left the Tigers 6-6 on the season, but he said the idea was planted by an even more distressing home loss to Belmont four games earlier. But on Saturday, following a loss to Colorado, 66 percent of 985 voters were calling for Snyder to go. The poll is unscientific, however, as it was not taken by a simple random sample of people. And though there might be some grumbling in the Tiger fan base, the Missouri Athletic Department is sticking behind Snyder 100 percent. MOVE IT WE'LL Amanda Kim Stairrett/Konsa War protestors react after a vehicle attempted to drive through them during a peace demonstration on Saturday. The protestors marched south from 7th and Massachusetts streets to the Douglas County Courthouse, 11th and Massachusetts. The group, drumming on buckets and chanting, then moved on to the Lawrence Public Library, where Congressman Dennis Moore (D-Kan.) was making an appearance. SEE COACH ON PAGE 8A Protesters question Moore U.S. Rep.'s forum filled with anti-war marchers By Ron Knox rknox@kansan.com Kansan staff writer U. S. Rep. Dennis Moore couldn't have asked for a better turnout at his Saturday forum at the Lawrence Public Library. Just before the 3rd District Democrat entered, more than 40 anti-war marchers stormed in after protesting on Massachusetts St. Julie Merz, Moore's outreach coordinator, told the protesters they needed to sign in as they entered, holding huge banners and wearing full costumes. One protester in an Uncle Sam mask and Grim Reaper cloak struggled mightily, attempting to juggle her makeshift sickle and the pen as she signed her name. By the time Moore entered, the room was packed. Lawrence resident Bob Lewis had been sitting in the front row for some time and had watched the procession of protesters fill the small meeting room. "Hey, Dennis," Lewis said. "Don't frown. You should smile. You should lighten up." But that was before the screaming, before the barrage of questions about Iraq, about intelligence and about Moore's voting record in Congress. "I'm light, I'm light," Moore said. And quite some time before the protesters wound their way through downtown to the library. Before the meeting on Saturday, the marchers hudded in a gazebo just north of Seventh and Kentucky streets, waiting to start marching at noon. In one corner, two women talked about why they braved the cold to march. "They say combat has officially ended, but it hasn't," said Hallie Bennet, Merrion senior. "People are still dying every day. The war isn't over." Plans for men's calendar halted SEE MOORE ON PAGE 8A By Andy Marso amarso@kansan.com Kansan staffwriter But he changed his mind this weekend after a lengthy debate on the Senate list server. Owen called the University Affairs Committee's decision "arbitrary and capricious," on Wednesday, and vowed to appeal to the Student Executive Committee. James Owen, law senator, has decided he will not appeal Student Senate's refusal to allocate funding for a KU Men of Distinction calendar. He also said he wasn't sure if he and the senators who sponsored his bill to fund the calendar would take up the project again in the future. Owen was initially against the KU Women of Distinction calendar because he thought it was in retaliation to the Women of KU calendar. He said he later realized the Distinction calendar's value and thought a men's version would be just as valuable. Jayme Aschemeyer, off-campus senator, was one of the bill's sponsors. She said the committee was discriminating because it passed the KU Women of Distinction calendar and not Owen's. Brian Thomas, University Affairs Committee member, said the decision had nothing to do with the gender of the calendar's subjects. He said Owen hadn't shown the same level of commitment as the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center had shown for the KU Women of Distinction project. "I think the reason it came up was that he wanted to make a statement," Thomas said. "I never got the indication that the calendar was ever a priority of any of theirs." Thomas said he agreed with the concept of a men's calendar, but wanted to see more plans. He said there needed to be some groundwork before Owen asked for the $5,000.

One student at Wichita State University died, and two students at Pittsburg State University were diagnosed with meningitis over winter break. As a result, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius wrote a letter to the Board of Regents encouraging Kansas schools to increase disease awareness and vaccine services. "This is a very rare disease," she said, "but the effects are just devastating." Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins, said the health center had put flyers in residence halls and had public service announcements on KJHK to inform students about the risks of the disease. Meningitis comes in two forms: viral and bacterial. While viral meningitis tends to be less severe, bacterial meningitis can result in brain damage, hearing loss, learning disability or death, according to the Centers for Disease Control's Web site. www.cdc.gov. Strother said students who lived in residence halls or other group situations, such as fraternities and sororities, were at the most risk for the disease. At Pittsburgh State University, the two diagnosed cases were the first documented at the school. Dave Parris, director of health services, said the university acted fast to notify students of the problem. Strother said since 2001, Watkins has sent letters about the disease and the vaccine to parents of new students. She said they also went to every summer orientation. Parris said the university held an informational session to inform students and their parents. "Our rate of vaccination is fairly high," Strother said. "Unlike other places, we always have it on stock." Strother said many students were vaccinated because of television programs they had seen about meningitis or because of prodding from their parents. Jennifer Gray said she was vaccinated because she had prior experience with the disease. "My mom is a nurse, and my sister had it," the Lenexa freshman said. "I also have a low immune system, so it was something that my doctor encouraged." The meningitis vaccine is available for between $65 and $75 at Watkins.

"One of our main goals is that we get support from the complete student body, not just the African American student body," he said —Edited by Amanda Kim Stairrett By Anna Clovis aclovis@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Lynette Woodard, interim women's basketball coach, was not the only person giving a pregame pep talk before the women's basketball game on Saturday. Using recognizable characters such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Reginald Robinson, president and CEO of the Board of Regents, spoke to students in the Multicultural Scholars Program. Students needed to be ready for their changing role in society. Robinson said. "The world is shrinking," Robinson said, "and we've got to figure out how we play in a world that's shrunk and what it means to be a citizen of the globe." Robinson said even Sponge-Bob SquarePants could illustrate a global community. He said he realized this while watching television coverage of the war in Iraq and seeing a little Iraqi boy wearing a shirt with the cartoon character on it. "If SpongeBob clothing is in Iraq, what other evidence do we need that the world is connected?" Robinson said. A University graduate and former faculty and staff member, Robinson said the students' experiences at the University could prepare them for life. He said he relied on what he learned from the University throughout his career. Robinson also said students needed to depart from the text, an idea he found in Goodnight Opus, a parody of the children's book Goodnight Moon. He said departing from the text is what taking risks is all about, and taking risks is part of being a global citizen and knowing people different from ourselves. "It's inspiring that people come out of Kansas and do well," said Gina Ford, Washington freshman. Robinson was invited to speak because of his ties to the University and his success, said Renate Mai-Dalton, director of the Multicultural Scholars Program. Robinson said multiculturalism was very important to the Regents. "So much of the success of the state depends on the ability to engage internationally," Robinson said. "The state is getting more diverse and we need to share that perspective." More than 50 students attended the presentation before the group was recognized during halftime of the women's game. — Edited by Nikki Nugent The Associated Press Bargaining ends Arizona prison standoff; no severe injuries BUCKEYE, Ariz. — The longest United States prison hostage standoff in decades ended yesterday when a corrections officer was released from the guard tower where a pair of inmates had held her for two weeks, a Corrections Department spokeswoman said. Cam Hunter, corrections spokeswomen, said the one guard, whose name was not released, received medical care. Dora Schriro Corrections Department Director said the guard's spirit and voice were exceptionally strong. Janet Napolitano, governor of Arizona, who went to meet the medical helicopter that transported the female guard, said the officer told the director. "Thank you for not leaving me, thank you for not rushing the tower. They would have killed me." Negotiators had regular contact with inmates throughout the standoff, and at times had seen the guard or talked to her by telephone. Prison officials released few details during the standoff, but Information on what led to the yesterday identified the hostage-takers as Ricky Wassenaar, 40, and Steven Coy, 39, and released information on how they took over the tower, which was stocked with weapons and designed to be impenetrable. surrender was not given, although one of the inmates was allowed to give an interview to a radio station. The station, which broadcast the interview after the standoff ended, said prison officials had allowed an interview in exchange for the woman's release.

A revered coach, stretched to the limit, asking for time off. Sportscenter had shown Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino and Utah men's basketball coach Rick Majerus do the same twice in the last two weeks. But make no mistake: Marian Washington's request for a medical leave and Athletics Director Lew Perkins' subsequent decision to grant her one was good for Kansas — and good for college sports. Too little emphasis is put on health in athletics today. Sure, some injuries are freak occurrences. There's no way, for instance, to know when a bad landing will leave a basketball player with blown anterior cruciate ligament or a OURVIEW Kansas women's basketball coach, Marian Washington's decision to step down was good for Kansas and for athletics. Too often competition supercedes health concerns. powerful hit will leave a football player prone on the ground. When an injury is preventable, though — when there are signs of an imminent breakdown — coaches, administrators and players should act. Which is why it was refreshing to see Washington walking hand-in-hand with Perkins Thursday, explaining that she has had enough for now. Whether Washington returns — and speculation on sports talk radio stations and beyond is that she might not is almost irrelevant. It seems unlikely that a new athletics director would move this swiftly to remove a talisman like Washington. But, if this is a subtle hint, at least Washington's departure came with an appropriate message. In her 31 years as a coach, Washington has built a reputation as one of the game's great teachers. (Her brightest pupil, Lynette Woodard, has been named her temporary replacement.) If the last lesson Washington teaches as a basketball coach is to take care of yourself, to not put victories and losses over your well being, perhaps it is her most important. Henry C. Jackson, Kansan sports editor, for the editorial board PERSPECTIVE More restaurants feed growing Atkins frenzy Lazy dieting ultimately equals lazy results; weight gain inevitable Weight-loss gimmicks are everywhere and the newest fad is this miracle diet known as the Atkins diet. In case you don't know what this gimmick is, the Atkins diet promotes low carbohydrates and high amounts of protein in your diet. COMMENTARY The Atkins diet is getting so popular that restaurants and businesses are now offering Atkins-friendly foods. Subway is advertising low-carbohydrate wraps. TGIFridays offers meat dishes such as the New York strip steak. Russell Stovers is marketing a low-carb chocolate. While restaurants such as Subway and TGIFridays offer Atkins friendly alternatives, the calories need to be watched because they contain a large amount. So, how's the new DIET going? WELL, I haven't lost any weight yet, but it's awesome! As long as I stay away from those EVIL CARBS, the weight should just fall off... So, I'm ON A STRICT STEAK, BACON: Egg Diet from here on out. Oh, and ya... HMMPH! HEHHHHHHHHH... SORRY... my heart just shut down for a minute... What were you saying?? Z NEWTON Travis Metcalf opinion@hansan.com The Atkins diet contends that people will lose weight on nothing but meat and eggs in their diet. For the right person the Atkins diet might work, but the person would need to be disciplined, never eating foods that are high in carbohydrates. Ann Chapman is a registered dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center. She said that while you may initially lose weight, unless you stay on that diet for your entire life you will gain the weight back. The diet can also raise one's cholesterol level. Chapman said that people with high cholesterol levels should not go on this diet because it could raise cholesterol levels further. "I'm not in favor of the diet," Chapman said. "While you can achieve short-term weight loss it doesn't help you keep the weight off over time." Another danger with the Atkins diet is the possibility of kidney stones. The human body can't store protein, said Kim Archer, doctoral student in nutrition. The body either uses the protein or it has to get rid of it, she said; so if one eats too much protein the body has to get rid of it some way and thus a kidney stone forms. Archer said that too much of a restriction on any nutrient is harmful to the body. The Atkins diet does just that, it restricts carbohydrates. Chapman also said that the diet doesn't promote healthy eating. The Atkins diet doesn't allow for enough vegetables or grains such as bread and pasta. Whatever happened to the old-fashioned diets where you ate the right amount of fruits and vegetables? When I was growing up carrots were a healthy thing to eat. When did that change? A variation of the Atkins diet is the South Beach diet. This diet, which still promotes low carbohydrates and high protein, allows more vegetables and Zach Newton for The University Daily Kansan grains. "The South Beach is a better way to go." Chapman said. The Atkins diet is too restrictive on grains, fruits and vegetables. The South Beach diet remedies that a little bit. It allows more vegetables but it limits the fruits too much. Like Chapman and Archer, I am not in favor of this diet. My advice is that if you want to lose weight, just cut down the McDonald's visits a little bit, eat smaller portions and instead of driving a block to the grocery store walk there. Exercise is a good thing. I guess I'm just too old fashioned. Metcalf is a Wichita senior in journalism.

Always remember to question your faith: Christianity has roots of white supremacy When I was growing up, I knew that on Sundays there was no question of whether I was going to church. I could be sick, throwing up, half dead, but I was going to church. In fact when I tried to play sick to get out of going, my mother would explain that I need to go to church to pray about getting better. Pretty soon it became so routine that it didn't bother me半分 of the time. I automatically called myself a Christian and never thought of questioning the religion that my parents, grandparents and the majority of my family so zealously believed in. This Sunday was different. I stopped going to church because it became clear that there were too many contradictions in Christianity to ignore. I never stopped believing in God, but the more I began to understand Christianity the more I realized that it wasn't what it appeared to be. CORRECTION (2) Brian Pearson pinion@hansan.com In a book by Frances Cress Welsling, Ph.D., The Isis Papers, she states that, "the cross, as an important and provocative symbol in the white supremacy system/culture, is none other than a brain-computer distillate of the white-collective's fear-induced obsession with the genitals of all none-white men." She goes on to claim that the cross represents the black male's genitals removed from the black male's body — meaning castrated genitals. COMMENTARY Now, granted this theory is out there. Way out; there. However, upon looking The most likely essence of the story of Jesus is that he was a poor black man whose ideas expressed in the Beatitudes threatened the control and authority of the conquering Romans (whites). Jesus was then given over to the Romans by one of his own was killed and then hung on a cross. In Christian religion it is stated that Jesus shed his blood so that we can have everlasting life. Using the Cress theory this statement could be translated: Jesus (non-white) shed his blood (genetic material) so that we (whites) can have everlasting life (remain dominant). I thought about Welsing's book this Sunday as I sat in church and listened to the preacher. I started to think of how many black people I had known in my short life who were born and raised Christians. I started to wonder if any of them ever stopped and asked themselves why they were Christians — not question the religion itself, just the devotion to it. This was obviously the point. If the devoted Christian can only see Jesus as a white male with blond hair and blue eyes then his or her brain, whether consciously or unconsciously, computes that Jesus's father, God, is white as well. Now I have posed this statement to people before and they claim that they don't see God as any color. As far back as I can remember I have seen Jesus as a white male. Although I know that he was from a region where the people had color, I am unable to form an image of Jesus as a black man. Somehow history had changed. He had somehow evolved from a lynched black Jesus to a weak and frail white Jesus. Yeah, right. I left church before it was finished. I have come to the realization that there is no certainty when it comes to picking a religion. My belief is as long as you know that there is a Being that is supreme to you, then you'll be OK. Now, I didn't write this article in order to offend or be sacrilegious towards anyone. I don't think that there is anything wrong with being a Christian. There is however something wrong with believing in something and not knowing why.

Its mission: to retain and graduate minority students. Now, 12 years later, the program has expanded to eight departments and about 90 students as it continues its goals. "Our program is unique because it's faculty run, privately funded and well structured. And we are willing to report the results," said Renate Mai-Dalton, coordinator of the program and associate professor of business. Mai-Dalton said the program has had an 85 percent retention rate over the past 12 years and a 77 percent graduation rate from, 1992 to 1997. Students in the program receive a scholarship, one-on-one mentoring with the director, and the opportunity to attend group meetings and cultural activities. "I believe that an education consists of more than just passing courses," Mai-Dalton said. Mai-Dalton said she had two goals for recruiting: to find students already enrolled at the Uni- "Our program is unique because it's faculty run, privately funded and well structured.And we are willing to report the results." renate Mai-Dalton Coordinator of the Multicultural Scholars Program and associate professor of business versity and to find incoming freshmen. Mai-Dalton said she preferred to admit incoming freshmen so the older, more experienced scholars could help the new scholars. Christopher Guerra, a 2000 graduate and former scholar of the business program, said this process of networking was the most beneficial to him during college. "I met different people who I'm still really good friends with now." Guerra said. Guerra said through the scholars program, he obtained an internship at Ernst & Young LLP in Kansas City, Mo. Southern, a rail transportation company located in Kansas City, Kan. This led to a job with the accounting firm, which eventually led to employment as an internal auditor for Kansas City Mai-Dalton started the program after assisting Marlan Washington's women basketball players with academics in 1988. She saw a significant improvement in players' grade point averages and was asked if she could implement a similar program for all students. After Mai-Dalton saw success with the Multicultural Business Scholars Program, she said Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost David Shulenburger asked if she could expand to other departments and schools. In the fall of 2001, the Schools of Journalism and Education were added. This was followed by African and African-American studies and Human Development and Family Life in January 2003. Schools of Pharmacy, Architecture, and Languages and Humanities were added last fall. Mai-Dalton said money was the biggest factor when to adding schools or departments to the program. In addition to personally searching for potential donors, Mai-Dalton receives help from the Kansas University Endowment Association, as well as other schools and departments. "We can only expand as we find donors," Mal-Dalton said. "We're trying from all sides, but I'm feeling responsible for finding money for all the programs." Mai-Dalton said finding committed directors to lead programs also played a role in expanding. Theresa Shireman, associate professor and director for the Multicultural Pharmacy Scholars Program, said the main idea of the program was to provide students with necessary resources. To do this, Shireman and the other directors meet monthly with students to discuss grades, find tutoring and analyze problems that the students might come across. Shireman said students appreciated the "status checks." faculty support and cultural activities, such as plays and Lied Center performances. "It's opening up their eyes and giving them a world view," Shireman said. Teresa Cuevas, Topeka freshman, said she liked the idea of a professor looking out for her at the University of Kansas. Cuevas, a scholar in the business program, said Mai-Dalton had good connections and advice. "She makes the campus seem a lot smaller." Cuevas said. Cuevas said she applied after Total KU Minority Enrollment Source: Office of Institutional Research and Planning The multicultural scholars program, along with other organizations on campus, have worked to recruit and retain minority students.

Edited by Cindy Yeo Group links new students By Marc Ingber mingber@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Any college freshman knows the awkwardness, lack of experience and fear that comes along with the first year of college. However, for students of color on the University of Kansas campus, those issues can be even worse. Nevertheless, since the 1999- 2000 school year, the HAWK Link program has helped. Freshman and transfer students of color have had a place to turn to help them navigate through their first year at the University. Rebecca Bailey, program assistant, said last semester HAWK Link had its most successful semester yet. "We had a record number of high academic achievements, and it was also our largest class of students that we've ever had." HAWK Link had 303 students participate in the program last semester, up from 228 last year, and a significant increase from the 36 students it had when it started in 1999. Of the 303 students, 13 had a 4.0 grade point average, 82 had a GPA of 3.0 and above and 124 had a GPA 2.0 and above, all increased from last year. The program helps students by introducing them to existing programs at the University that will aid them during their first year. This includes help with advising, financial aid, tutors, mentoring programs as well as other areas. HAWK Link also serves as a social forum for these students to meet other students of color. Bailey said the program's first and foremost goal was to bring its students back to school the next year. "Last year we had a retention rate of 84 percent, so our goal for next year is to beat that," she said. The program's highest retention rate was 86 percent in 2001-2002. Juan Izaguirre Pena, assistant director, said this semester's big program was the faculty-mentor program. "We connect students with faculty mentors so that they are exposed to the professor's point of view," he said. Bailey said another of the program's goals was to introduce the new students to older students who have already gone through the experience of being a first-year student. "We try to help them make contacts with student organizations so they can meet upperclassmen." she said. Reggie McKeithen, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, said the program had been a big help for him. "I've met some of my best friends in here," he said. "It's a really good program to get you involved in different organizations." He added that the program had helped him academically as well by getting him involved in programs like Student Educational Services and Students Together Excelling in Education as Peers. "I would advise anyone interested to attend all of the meetings and take advantage of everything they do for you," Winkfield said. Antwan Winkfield, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, said he was glad that he decided to participate in the program. Edited by Collin LaJoie Course provides forum, credit By Rupal Gor rgor@kansan.com Kansan staff writer To honor the history of Kansas Territory, two groups have partnered up to establish a statewide online discussion about four distinguished books. According to Laura Diede, KU student services, so far, no one is enrolled in the course. She said she expected a big enrollment once students heard about it. The Kansas Humanities Council and University of Kansas Continuing Education began the statewide program. The first book discussion began Jan. 14. The second book discussion began Wednesday. Those who visited the Web site could listen to recordings — which were taped in the fall — about each book and submit their own comments. The discussion is free, but students who are interested in Kansas history should enroll in the one-hour distance learning online credit course. Barbara Watkins, KU Continuing Education, encourages people to read the books and participate in the online discussion. Watkins said this was the first time that the program had combined public discussion with a credit course in history. "We are naturally, as continuing educators, deeply interested in this subject," she said. Julie Mulvihill, director of programs for KHC, said 2004 was a great year to get interested in Kansas history because of its 150th anniversary. Each of the four books on the list shows problems of slavery, an issue when Kansas became a state. The books are Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, The Englishman in Kansas by Thomas Gladstone, John Brown (John Brown: The Legend Revisited) by Merrill Peterson and The All-True Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton by Jane Smiley. Jonathan Earle, assistant professor of history, taped a discussion about John Brown at the Lawrence Public Library in the fall. He said everyone who participated read the book and wanted to join the discussion. "Everything we can do to bring in the territorial past is a good thing to do." Earle said. "We don't look at the past history of Kansas as a very interesting period of time." Earle said people thought of Kansas as a state of solid and conservative values and they missed the point of seeing Kansas' radical history. He said the issues of slavery and racism led to warfare, most notably "Bleeding Kansas." Ashley Nazarak-Braatz, Philadelphia junior, is an English major interested in history. She said she didn't know a lot about the history of Kansas or the Midwest, and would be willing to check out the discussion site. "If I took the class for credit, it would be a good chance to learn about something I wouldn't otherwise have had a chance to learn about in other classes," Nazarak-Braatz said.

The Seem-to-be-Players, Lawrence's nonprofit children's theater company, held its annual talent show at Liberty Hall and raised more than $7,000 to support drama programs for children at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. About 60 people watched 13 acts perform in front of a banner with vintage advertisements for Lawrence businesses. The performers, consisting of singers and dancers, sold tickets and gained sponsors to help the fundraising. Businesses like Roly Poly Sandwiches and Papa John's Pizza donated the 14 prizes awarded to contestants at the end of the show. All of the awards, except the award for most tickets sold and the audience award, were given by a panel of four local celebrity judges, including Mike Amyx, former mayor of Lawrence. The panel commented on every act, to fit with the show's theme of America's Most Idol, loosely based on the popular reality television show American Idol. Ric Averill, show organizer and member of the Seem-to-be-Players, said the cause was important for both the education of Lawrence children and for the professional productions put on for the citizens of Lawrence. Averill also performed stand-up comedy and provided musical accompaniment for the acts. Julia Hardin, Lawrence senior performed two songs for the event, one of which was Lucy and Jesse by Stephen Sondheim. Hardin said that the cause was the reason why she got involved in the show. "Theater is a really great way to teach kids because it inspires interaction," Hardin said. Emily Hamilton, Free State High School senior, won the Audience Favorite Award for her performance of I Know You By Heart by Eva Cassidy. Hamilton's award was given based on the audience's reaction to her performance. Next to the judges table, a Tall Tale-o-meter measured the cheers and applause. The Judges' Favorite Award was given to Free State High School's Erin McDowell for her performance of the song Cabaret from the musical of the same name. McDowell won a dinner for two at Stone Creek, 3801 W. 6th St. Whether they won an award or not, Averill said the performers had a great time and that it helped out the cause. - Edited by Cindy Yeo GET INVOLVED Coming Soon!

Their scientific jargon may slip under the satellites of common public concern, but after more than two decades of working together and researching, the two scientists are finding ways to help the future of Douglas County. Martinko and deNoyelles' paths at the University have remained in step since the late 1970s. Both served concurrent terms as director of the Environmental Studies program in the 1980s. In 1985, Martinko became director of the Kansas Biological Survey and deNoyelles accepted the associate director position. They continue their work together for the University and the Biological Survey, helping students and researching environmental problems for the state. In addition to teaching, the two scientists develop research proposals and gather data for the Biological Survey. Together they design ways to study environmental issues in the area and help find solutions. Reservoirs, like Clinton Lake, are filling with silt and may eventually disappear. Sixty percent of the population in Kansas gets drinking water from these reservoirs, deNoyelles said. "It's an issue the students should know about," Martinko said. "There isn't going to be water available for their grandchildren if it continues at this rate." The Biological Survey reports directly to the state. Martinko and deNoyelles see their research as work that captures their interests, but more importantly makes a difference to the community. "We work on the problems we feel we can help with and help find a solution for," deNoyelles said. Their most significant research involves using satellites to monitor environmental conditions. They can use the data to monitor and predict crop conditions and yields. The satellite images can "There isn't going to be water available for their grandchildren if it continues at this rate." Ed Martinko Director of the Kansas Biological Survey also be used to solve problems in land and water conditions. They are a key in helping with the problems occurring in area reservoirs, Martinko said. The upper basin of Perry reservoir is so shallow now that deNoyelles said his boat was once stuck for three hours during a research venture. The research team had to get out of the boat and drag it to safety. Despite the risk involved in field work, both find the challenge rewarding and enjoyable. Even in the face of unpleasant tasks, deNoyelles said he found reward in the impact he was making on the well-being of the citizens of Kansas. "With this work you might not always do things you enjoy, but you always do things that are important," deNoyelles said. Both agree that their work at the Biological Survey is made easier by their relationship dynamic. "We've never gotten in what I would consider an argument," deNoyelles said. "We've never yelled or raised our voices at each other." Martinko said there was always a risk of fighting in such a close working relationship, but they managed to make work more enjoyable and effective by getting along. aong. Karl Brooks, interim director of the Environmental Studies Department, said he appreciated the care the two scientists put in making their research matter to everyone in the community. "They're finding out that we are going to have serious environmental policy decisions to make, really soon," he said. "All of us could learn a lot from they way they collaborate, both as scientists and as friends." Edited by Nikki Nugent NASA's Opportunity lands on Mars The Associated Press PASADENA, Calif. — NASA's Opportunity rolled off its lander and onto the rusty soil of Mars early Saturday, a week after the six-wheeled rover arrived on the Red Planet — and just hours after confirmation of its first major geologic discovery. its intrinsic geography. Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory erupted in cheers as the first photograph taken by Opportunity following its roll-off appeared on a screen in mission control. More pictures flooded in minutes later to continued cheers and applause. The images, received shortly after 3 a.m., confirmed Opportunity had joined its twin, Spirit, on the ground. "Two for two, one dozen wheels on soil," flight director Chris Lewicki said. Hours earlier, scientists confirmed that the rover discovered gray hematite, a mineral that typically forms in water — a finding that could indicate the dry and dusty Red Planet was once wetter and more hospitable to life. Rowdy, jubilant scientists filled the back of the auditorium for an early morning news conference, sipping champagne as they listened. The initial black-and-white picture taken by Opportunity's rear hazard camera showed the rover's empty lander and a parallel set of tracks leading away from it, traced in the pebbly martian dirt 128 million miles from Earth. Opportunity took 83 seconds to cover the 10 feet to the dark floor of the 72-foot-wide crater where it landed. "That was probably the scariest part of the drive we'll have on Mars," said mission manager Jim Erickson, adding there were no spotters on the planet to catch the rover if it toppled, as there had been during tests on Earth. The roll-off went without a hitch, other than a wobble to the lander that caused the rover to slightly veer to its right while in motion, said Kevin Burke, who gave the roll forward command to Opportunity. Mission plans called for Opportunity to spend several days parked beside its lander after rolling off, allowing it to conduct further chemical and elemental analysis of the martian soil. Democrats canvass country for votes The Associated Press CHARLESTON, S.C. — Democratic presidential rivals worked across several time zones yesterday to sway undecided voters in states with contests early this week. U. S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) pressed his front-runner's advantage in North Dakota and U.S. Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) concentrated on South Carolina, a state he says he must win. Edwards trails Kerry in six of the seven states holding primaries or caucuses on Tuesday, except in his native South Carolina. Arizona, Delaware, Missouri Oklahoma and South Carolina hold primaries Tuesday, along with caucuses in New Mexico and North Dakota. At stake are a total of 269 pledged delegates to the Democratic convention, more than 12 percent of the 2,162 needed to win the party's presidential nomination. While polls show Kerry with comfortable leads in the states, except South Carolina, as many as one in five voters remain undecided two days before the contests, according to the surveys. In New Mexico, a new Albuquerque Journal poll showed Kerry ahead with 31 percent support, but with 27 percent of likely voters undecided. Dean and Kerry of Massachusetts both opted to skip public financing, meaning they are not subject to spending limits but are not getting the federal matching money that is flowing to rival campaigns. Dean told NBC's "Meet the Press" that he regretted burning through most of the $41 million his campaign raised last year. Dean was the third-place finisher in Iowa and runner-up to Kerry in New Hampshire. Kerry also won in Iowa. campaign Dean said he wasn't ready to leave the race and was focused on winning delegates, of which he has more at this point than Kerry. Dean has 114 delegates, to Kerry's 103, according to an Associated Press tally. Kerry, fulfilling a pledge to campaign in all of Tuesday's states, spent the day in Fargo, N.D., where he accused the Bush administration of an "incredible cave-in" to drug companies at taxpayers' expense, citing the dramatically higher cost estimate for the new Medicare overhaul. In Columbia, S.C., Edwards attended morning services at the predominantly black Bible Way Church. He also predicted the race in the state would be close despite his expected advantage as a next-door neighbor, representing North Carolina in the Senate At one point, someone told Edwards: "I think you should ask Senator Kerry whether he's interested in being vice president," a reference to Edwards' insistence that he has no interest in being anyone's pick for vice president, especially Kerrv's. Clark campaigned in Oklahoma with Mike McClintic, who pushed him to the ground and protected him after the now retired Army general was shot during a mission in the jungles of Vietnam in 1970. Clark and McClintic had not seen each other since that day. The campaign trail reunion was similar to one Kerry had two days before the Jan. 19 Iowa caucuses with Jim Rassmann, a fellow serviceman Kerry rescued 35 years ago in Vietnam. Lieberman welcomed newspaper endorsements from two South Carolina publications — The State of Columbia and the Greenville News — along with the Seattle Times. All highlighted Lieberman's centrist views. "What this says is that I have national support." Lieberman told reporters after attending church services in Wilmington, Del.

"There's been some unrest in the media, but fan interest has never been higher. Coach is building something special, and has built something special and I think any talk of his job being in jeopardy is ludicrous." "There's been some unrest in the media, but fan interest has never been higher" Sam Flourie Snyder Assistant director of also has media relations support on the message board of Ovin Must board of QuinMustGo's Web site. Sam Fleury Assistant director of media relations board of QuinMustGo's web site. Some of his most ardent allies are fans from Duke, where Snyder was a player and an assistant to coach Mike Krzyzewski. Snyder has also received support from Kansas fans. "When I first started the site a lot of the messages were from Kansas fans saying 'Don't be so hard on Quin. Keep him around so we can keep beating them,' QuinMustGo said. Kansas is 6-2 against Missouri since Snyder took over. But there have also been sincere messages in support of Snyder. Most of them cite his success in the NCAA Tournament and the fact that, while under investigation, Missouri hasn't been charged with any NCAA violations to this point. Then, there was one girl whose message exclaimed, "Quin is to (sic) cute to fire!" and went on to explain in rather explicit detail how turned on she got when watching Missouri basketball. That might not be exactly the kind of support Snyder is looking for, and with a traditionally tough trip to Lawrence tonight, he may be in for more harsh treatment on the Web site. QuinMustGo said a decisive Missouri victory tonight would be exceptional and "bring us back into some semblance of what we're capable of," but added that he thought it was unlikely that Snyder and the Tigers would be able to pull it off. Expensive personal trainers not always best deal — Edited by Collin LaJoie The Associated Press WASHINGTON — A personal trainer will keep an eye on your lunges and squats for $15, or 10 times as much. But experts warn the higher payments don't necessarily get you a better workout. No matter what the price, personal trainers have the same purpose. They help clients work toward goals, such as weight loss or achievement in sports. Trainers judge where clients need help, tailor exercise programs to meet those needs, and make sure the clients do the workouts with correct form. Trainers also offer encouragement — for instance, driving a dedicated athlete to push for one last lift or telephoning an undecided newbie with a reminder to show up. Even at the lowest price, clients should expect a trainer to be certified by a recognized accrediting organization. Certification, which requires a trainer to "You don't do one leg lift, you do many things. It can get very sophisticated very quickly." Mike Niedorprum National director for certification at the American College of Sports Medicine pass an examination, is insurance against bad training advice that can lead to injury. Among the best regarded certifications are those from the American College of Sports Medicine, the American Council on Exercise and the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Unlike physical therapists, who design workouts based on doctors' orders for patients, personal trainers rarely interact with doctors because their clients are generally healthy. "I don't know if I work out harder or just smarter," said Danielle Brown, of Ashburn, Va., who exercises under the guidance of Michael De Luca at a health club in Reston. A therapist might help a patient come back from a knee injury; a trainer would help to keep uninjured knees strong. De Luca made her movements more effective — for instance, relieving her knee pain by making her straighten up on leg exercises. The cost of an hourlong session can range from $15 to $150, said Mike Niederprum, national director for certification at the American College of Sports Medicine, an organization of specialists in exercise physiology. Brown does not plan to stay with De Luca, however. At $540 for 12 sessions, it's too expensive for a lifetime commitment. With that wide a range, questions of quality and value for money arise. "You can buy an automobile for $10,000 to $15,000, or $50,000 to $80,000, and both do a great job of getting you from Point A to Point B." Niederprumen said. At first glance, the higher fee should be hard to justify because the exercisers' legs do the same lunge or squat no matter how much they pay. However, like cars, some trainers may be more reliable — or at least offer clients a wider range of options. "You don't do one leg lift, you do many things," Niederpruem said. "It can get very sophisticated very quickly." Clients can expect to pay more for an experienced trainer, and should expect the trainer's experience to help them get a better workout, he said. However, Niederprum knew of no research to show that consumers who paid more for experienced trainers got better results. Consumers should expect a higher-priced trainer to show a lot of interest in them, said Richard Cotton, chief exercise physiologist at MyExercisePlan.com, a Web-based individualized training program. "Possibly, their personality and goals, and their listening skills, are incredible," he said. A skilled trainer should have a menu of exercises for specific muscle groups, he said. When a client gets bored with an exercise or stops showing improvement, a trainer should know more interesting ways to work out that helps the client continue to improve. Some clients pay more because they already have the motivation — they are after the perfect body. Trainers for celebrities can command over $1,000 an hour. Music mogul P. Diddy, for instance, reportedly pays $7,000 a week year-round to personal trainer Mark Jenkins, who got him ready for the 2003 New York City marathon. CALENDAR: Law senator decides to squelch request for funding CONTINUED FROM 1A The Emily Taylor Center had asked for $2,750 from Senate for its calendar after receiving $2,250 in donations. Owen's bill included a promise to reimburse the $5,000 through donations from local businesses. He told committee members on Wednesday that he hadn't yet received any actual donations, but had gotten pledges of support from Liberty Hall, Rudy's Pizzeria and the two law firms where he and Aschemeyer work. Chad Glazer, owner of Rudy's Pizzeria, said he had not been contacted by Owen. Owen later said he had talked to a manager at Rudv's named Chuck. Mina Bischman, who has worked at Rudy's for five months, said there was no one named Chuck employed there. "Barring the possibility that someone was messing with him when he called or using a nickname I don't know about, I'd say she didn't contact us," Bischman said. Doug Redding, a video clerkat Liberty Hall, said there was no record of anyone pledging a donation to the project, but couldn't rule out the possibility that someone had made a verbal commitment to Owen. Scott McKenzie, CLAS senator, said he appreciated the debate Owen's bill had spurred. "In the most real sense he's benefitting students by making Senate think and discuss what they're doing," McKenzie said. Thomas also said he thought the debate on the bill was useful, but that Owen could have found a better way to initiate it. "To come into a Senate meeting and ask for $5,000 without any facts and figures, that was a waste of Senate's time," Thomas said. Edited by Cindy Yeo MOORE: Citizens get chance to question Moore's decisions CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A When Dave Strano and Jeff Milner, two of the march's organizers, saw that everyone had arrived, the group marched to Massachusetts Street, concocting march beats with whistles, plastic horns and pickle buckets strung around their necks. Inside stores and restaurants, patrons, clerks and waitresses watched the vibrant procession. Inside Jefferson's, 743 Massachusetts St., Des Moines junior Grant Burchfield read the print in the white lines of one protester's upside-down American flag: "There is no flag large enough to hide the shame of killing innocent people." "I think it's a little ridiculous people are still anti-war, even after we freed Iraq," Burchfield said. Amy Probst, a junior from Waterloo, Iowa, said she didn't have a problem with it. "I think it's a little ridiculous people are still anti-war, even after we freed Iraq." Grant Burchfield Des Moines junior "People have the right to think what they want," she said. As the group made their way down the street, a line of cars built up behind them, some honking, others waiting patiently, leaning their head on their hands. One man's patience ran out, and he rammed his black Explorer into protesters at the end of the procession. The marchers screamed. The man continued honking, allowing the truck to creep forward into the retreating group. siren. The protesters cleared the intersection and the truck took off down the street. By then, the protestors were outside the Douglas County courthouse, chanting at passing traffic. Across the intersection, a Lawrence police officer flashed his car's lights and turned on the "Is this it?" one protester asked the rest of the group. He planned on marching back through downtown and calling it a day. But Strano and a few others had planned on attending Moore's meeting for weeks in advance. They hadn't told anyone else for fear of police interference. Word of Moore's meeting spread fast, and the protesters were off, marching through the streets toward the library, banging their pickle-bucket drums, chanting "Hey, hey, Dennis Moore, why the fuck did you vote for war?" 图 In the meeting room at the library, Moore sat at a small table in the front of the room with two staff members for his one-onone meeting with members of the community. Just as Lawrence resident Fred Broker sat down to speak with Moore about the shoulder surgery he needed, Milner spoke up. guy noticed, Mr. Moore up, "Excuse me, Mr. Moore, but why did you vote for war when there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Why are Iraqis still dying if the war is over?" Moore and his staffers stood up from the table. "I don't have time for this," Moore said. "You have to wait your turn." Moore and his staff moved to a table at the back of the room, away from the crowd. Soon after, the police arrived to maintain peace. Merz announced that Moore would come out and address questions as a group. "Please keep it respectful." Merz said to the group, "and the congressman will respect you." Moore addressed everyone before he took any questions. He said that administration briefings convinced him to vote for war. Strano asked Moore why he signed a bill giving $8 million to combat protesters in Miami last year. Moore said he had not read that bill, but his staffers were capable and informed him of the issues. Merz tried to end the meeting but Moore stopped her, allowing several more questions. One man asked Moore how he was a capable representative if he didn't read the bills he signed. He said he didn't trust Moore because Moore could have voted for war without knowing the issues. "Well, that is just your opinion," Moore said. "I don't know how much your opinion counts." The crowd booed. Many of the people there — protesters or otherwise — got up to leave. "OK," Moore said, "that's it." And with that, he disappeared behind the door. - Edited by Cindy Yeo DON'S AUTO CENTER "For all your repair needs" * Import and Domestic Repair & Maintenance Machine Shop Service Computer Diagnostics 841-4833 920 E. 11th Street KANSAN everyday DON'S AUTO CENTER "For all your repair needs" * Import and Domestic Repair & Maintenance Machine Shop Service Computer Diagnostics 841-4833 920 E. 11th Street KANSAN everyday SHARK'S SURF SHOP REEF FLOATIES RAINBOW TEVA CROCS ALWAYS THE NEWEST RELEASES SANDAL CITY! 813 MASS/841-8289 CHILDREN'S MUSIC HOURS Tuesday, February 10 @10:30 am Saturday, February 28 @10:30 am Kansas Union, Level 2, 785-864-4431, Jayhawks.com Early Bird Grad Fest Sale Now thru February 15 Cap/Gown/Tassle $19.95 Preorder $18.95 Custom Announcements 99¢ (first 1000) We are ready for your big day!

Citing statistics that show obesity is the second-leading cause of preventable death, behind smoking but ahead of alcohol, some Kansas lawmakers this year are looking for ways to encourage people to adopt better eating and activity habits. It's a weighty issue that's being addressed in at least 20 other states, with most of the focus on schoolchildren. One of the biggest problems for politicians is that besides mandating changes in school lunches and pushing physical education classes, there's not much they can do to legislate thinness. A first step, some say, is raising awareness of the public health problem. problem. "People don't think about the long-term effect of super-sizing their fast-food meals, especially for children," said Sen. David Haley of Kansas City, ranking Democrat on the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee. "There has to be at some point the realization that excess weight is just not good for longevity of life." Haley, one of 17 Kansans who attended a National Governors Association meeting on obesity in Chicago last year, said he came away from the three-day conference excited about tackling the issue. issue. "I'm calling on everyone in the Legislature and all facets of society to approach this issue seriously," he said. It's a problem that goes beyond Kansas. Two years ago, the Internal Revenue Service began allowing taxpayers to claim weight-loss expenses as a medical deduction. Around the same time, the World Health Organization issued a report that shifted focus from the amount of food people Among its recommendations, the WHO suggested limiting food advertising aimed at children and limiting fats, salt and sugary sodas. eat to the types of food they consume. A recent national study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the research firm RTI International shows that 20 percent of Kansans are obese and 60 percent are at least overweight. Kansans spent $657 million last year on obesity-related medical problems, the study said, of which $281 million was financed by Medicare or Medicaid. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment said 57 percent of the state's non-Hispanic white population is overweight or obese, as is 65 percent of the state's Hispanic and black population. Worldwide, 300 million people are obese and 750 million more are overweight, according to the International Obesity Task Force, a component of the World Health Organization. And the American Obesity Association estimates that nearly one-third of the U.S. population is obese. People are considered obese if they have a body mass index of 30 or higher, while overweight is a BMI of 27 or greater. Body mass index is calculated using a complex formula that takes into account a person's height and weight. Obesity increases the risk of developing such conditions as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease and cancer of the breast, prostate and colon, the American Obesity Association said. KDHE plans to further study the issue in schools with the help of funding from the nonprofit Sunflower Foundation, which provides grants for improving health in Kansas. Art honoring disaster victims to be installed at Cosmosphere The Associated Press WICHITA — Artisans are creating a stained-glass remembrance of the victims of space disasters that incorporates shuttle tiles from the Challenger and Columbia missions and concrete from the Apollo 1 launch pad. The 8-by-11-foot creation is about a year away from installation at the entrance of the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson, which is home to one of the world's most significant collections of American and Russian space artifacts. Rayer's Bearden Stained Glass in Wichita is creating the piece to commemorate astronauts who died in the Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia missions. The piece will depict an astronaut in a spacesuit with arms outstretched and an American flag in the background. "We're getting to be part of history. This piece, when completed, will be here for a long time." Rendy Rayer CEO of Rayer's Bearden Stained Glass When finished, Kansas wheat will lie at the astronaut's feet, while above the astronaut will be flying rockets, stars and worlds yet to be discovered. It takes its name from Kansas' motto, "Ad Astra per Aspera," which means "To the stars through difficulties." "I'm anxious to see it. I'm excited to have it," said Jeff Ollenburger, the Cosmosphere's president and chief executive. Ollenburger said the placement of the piece at the entrance of the museum is significant. "Visitors — right before they go in the museum and learn about the history of space exploration — will walk beneath this memorial which is all about those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to make that story possible," Ollenburger said. Randy Rayer, chief executive of Rayer's, said he will be proud to have the artwork featured there. "It's something that every one of us who are involved in it want to show their children and grandchildren." Employees volunteered much of their own time to research and design the artwork, Rayer said. More than two-thirds of the cost of the window has been absorbed by the stained-glass company. "We're getting to be part of history. This piece, when completed, will be here for a long time," he said. NATION NATION President to seek Iraq intelligence probe WASHINGTON—President Bush, under mounting political pressure, will sign an executive order to establish a full-blown investigation of U.S. intelligence failures in Iraq, a senior White House official said Sunday. The investigation will look at what the United States believed it knew before the war against Saddam Hussein's regime and what has been determined since the invasion. Former chief weapons inspector David Kay has concluded that Iraq did not possess weapons of mass destruction, a chief rationale for the U.S.-led war. The Associated Press Bush budget highlights his campaign themes WASHINGTON - President Bush is sending Congress a $2.4 trillion budget that emphasizes the major themes of his re-election campaign - bolstering the military to fight terrorism, strengthening homeland security and making his sweeping tax cuts permanent. But the spending plan released The Associated Press today, covering the budget year beginning Oct. 1, is constrained by deficits projected to top a half-trillion dollars this year. Ceremony remembers Columbia shuttle crash CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — One year after Columbia broke apart and fell in flaming streaks from the Texas sky, NASA workers who launched the shuttle and its seven astronauts and then gathered up the remains of the disaster stood united in sorrow yesterday at the precise moment of destruction. The first anniversary of the catastrophe was a time for everyone rocket engineers, debris searchers, school children, space enthusiasts, even football fans to pause and remember. Almost all of the mourners who attended the ceremony held a long-stemmed rose. After the brief outdoor service, they tucked the red-, yellow-, peach- and ivory-colored roses into the white fence surrounding the memorial. — The Associated Press Airline cancels flight bound for Super Bowl WASHINGTON- Continental Airlines canceled a Sunday evening flight from Washington to Houston after security concerns were raised by the Homeland Security Department.

Julie Shapiro, Overland Park junior, researched her options before committing to a diet. Shapiro, a diabetic, was turned off from the fatty foods associated with the Atkins diet. She sought professional help from her doctor before choosing the South Beach Diet. Diet. For Shapiro, dieting is more than restricting food intake. "Dieting is more of mental thing," Shapiro said. "By doing this I feel better about myself." Dieting differs on a case to case basis, said Ann Chapman, Watkins Memorial Health Center Dietician. Dietician Chapman recommend that dieters research their diets before committing to one. Billy Santoro started his diet four months ago. The Scottsdale, Ariz., junior wanted to get back in shape. shape. He felt a low-carbohydrate, high-protein program was the right choice for him. "When you're in a college setting it's hard to stay in shape," Santoro said. "With the high protein diet I can still go to Wendy's with my roommates and follow my diet." my diet. The South Beach and Atkins diets are dominating the nation's diet trends. Chapman said short term weight loss, commonly attained from dieting, works — but with a catch. She said dieters will eventually want to go back to their old eating habits and the weight will return. For more information, see Travis Burruss's opinion on page 4A. "When you start putting the pounds back on, that's when you should see a dietitian," she said. While the two diets both recommend low-carbohydrate intake, they are not the same. The Atkins regiment focuses on eliminating carbohydrates and promoting protein and fats. The South Beach Diet differs by identifying good and bad carbohydrates, using the glycemic index. A glycemic index tells dieters how fast their bodies will turn carbohydrates into energy. This index is a determining factor for which foods to eat and which ones to avoid. These low-carbohydrate diets work by inducing ketosis. Ketosis causes the body to stop using carbohydrates as energy and switches to fat. Beyer recommends that students be aware of what they eat, especially breads. "Food coloring can be inserted into wheat bread making it appear to be whole grain, when it actually is not," Beyer said. Students, faculty and staff can make appointments with Chapman by contacting Watkins Memorial Health Center. The first consulting fee for students is $10. After that, the charge per visit drops to $7. Watkins charges faculty and staff a flat rate of $25 per visit. Edited by Amanda Kim Stairrett Local businesses cater to Atkins diet By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Dieters are not the only one who have caught on to the nationwide low-carbohydrate diet craze known as the Atkins diet. Businesses, too, are following suit. ing suit. National chains with franchises in Lawrence, such as Subway, Applebee's Neighborhood Bar and Grill and Roly-Poly Sandwiches make no secret of their low-carbohydrate offerings. Even some local businesses decided to join forces with the fad diet. Photo Illustration The Atkins diet stresses avoiding carbohydrates and consuming proteins and fats instead. hiscade Vishal Patel, Shawnee senior, tried the Atkins diet a year ago. The Atkins diet is the brainchild of the late Dr. Robert Atkins who first published a book on dieting in 1972. Reina Bar, Roly Poly director of marketing, said less than half of Roly Poly customers asked for the modified sandwich wrap. back. "If you can stick with it, it's awesome," Patel said. "But there's such a limited supply of what you can eat." Patel lost 17 pounds quickly, but did not stick with the diet. In February, the sandwich shop will start offering menu items with a low-carbohydrate tortilla as an alternative. He gained all the weight back. increasingly a demand for Roly Poly Sandwiches, 818 Massachusetts St., allows customers wanting lower-carbohydrate meals to receive their wraps without a tortilla at no extra cost. The new tortillas will cost extra because they are more expensive to make. Patel said he would have tried low-carbohydrate selections at local businesses had he stuck with the diet. Subway also advertises its Atkins-friendly alternatives. Those options are becoming increasingly available. Customers can request any 6. The resulting meal comes more like a salad. "I know they miss the bread. They tell us. They'll order salads and throw away the bread." Katie Kutilek Wheatfields general manager inch sub with a low-carbohydrate tortilla instead of the higher-carbohydrate bread normally served. The alterative costs an extra 80 cents. "I know they miss the bread. They tell us," Kutilek said. "They'll order salads and throw away the bread." Great Harvest Bread Company, 807 Vermont St., recently added a low-carbohydrate bread to its bread selections. In response to customers' diet concerns, Kutilek decided to have nutritional analysis done to Wheatfields' products. The single Atkins-friendly offering does not drastically change how Great Harvest does business and sells well, said Great Harvest head baker Deron Belt. for the saintly. Honestly, working with different flours wouldn't work with the artisan breads we make," Kutilek said. One business that remains guarded against the diet mania is Wheatfields Bakery, 904 Vermont St. Business has changed somewhat at Wheatfields in light of customers avoiding carbohydrates. "We haven't decided we won't do it, but we're just kind of riding it out," said Katie Kutilek, Wheatfields general manager. The bread came in response to customer requests for low-carbohydrate alternatives in a bakery that sells mostly carbohydrate-laden breads. —Edited by Stephanie Lovett The bakery does not offer any specifically low-carbohydrate selections. Belt: "The customers like it. In terms of low-carb bread, it's pretty good," Belt said. And introducing a low-carbohydrate bread would be difficult for the bakery. The Atkins diet and others like it have caused the food-conscious to take an even closer look at what they eat. In response, many local restaurants, such as Roly Poly Sandwiches, Great Harvest Bread Company and Subway have added low-carbohydrate items to their menus. High stress eased by high-fat foods Boca Evahhoe bevanhoe@ku.edu Kansas staff writer Nutrition-rich vegetables might be good for the body, but researchers found that foods high in fat and sugar may reduce stress hormones. Health professionals say there are other ways to reduce stress. Photo Illustration by Kit Leffler/Kansar Hannah Hohendorf loves vegetables. But for some reason when midterms came into sight last semester, it wasn't carrots and celery that she craved. and celery that she bacon Instead, Hohendorf found herself eating the foods that give cardiologists nightmares: guacamole, sausage, alfredo sauce from a jar, and buttered tortillas. One day she even polished off an entire package of bacon. By the time mid-terms were over, the 5-foot-9-inch, 140-pound Kanss's City, Mo., freshman had gained 15-pounds. But in times of prolonged stress, like mid-terms week, Hohendorf said she typically ran to the convenience store to buy junk food like chips, ramen, and Stove Top stuffing. "During times of high stress, a milk margarita "Under normal stress, I usually eat the foods I have at home," Hohendorf said. Researchers at the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF), may have finally figured out why stress is often paired with over-eating. High-energy food laden with fat and sugar seems to shut off the brain's production of stress-causing chemicals. Frank DeSalvo, director of counseling and psychological services said that it is normal to associate levels of stress with the amount of readily accessible food we eat when stressed. Hohendorf went through a common experience for college students; chronic stress. lot of students open up a bag of chips and find the bottom pretty quickly." DeSalvo said. To replicate stressful times UCSF researchers subjected laboratory rats to stress tests and allowed them to react with a number of behaviors such as drinking sucrose, eating lard, or running on a wheel. running findings. The findings showed that the rats that ate lard and sucrose had lower levels of a stress-related chemical called adrenocorticotropin — and fat bellies. Although the rats with sugar-rich diets showed a more marked reduction in stress-causing chemicals, Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that there are probably better ways to relieve stress that do not include over indulgence. "Overeating is a common way that college students deal with that — but certainly not the healthiest way," Strother said. heathness, way, The UCSF scientists proposed that under normal stress, hormone production turns itself off after the stressful event is over. However, when outside stress-causing events continue for more than a few days, the body switches on what researchers call the "chronic stress response system" and releases the hormone continually. Since the research was done on Like the rats in the experiment, students can easily develop abdominal obesity - unhealthy guts-from pigging out on the usual comfort foods like chocolate-chip cookies or greasy pizza. Weight from these kinds of food tends to go to the stomach, which can lead to Type 2 diabetes and stroke. rats, not humans, Strother said it was important to recognize the study as a first-step toward understanding over-eating behavior. And that students should also avoid the trap of thinking that eating fatty foods is the only way of shutting off the body's stress system. the body Salvo, most folks acknowledge that there's a connection between body and mind, but they often override their body chemistry with mental determination or control. An example is how athletes experience pain from lactic acid build-up in the muscles, but continue running. A common way to relieve stress is to exercise, which not only avoids the calories of comfort foods, but causes the brain to release endorphins, the body's natural feel-good hormones. Strother also suggests looking for healthy ways to relax, like yoga, a hot bath, reading a book, or spending time with supportive friends. Another good idea is to evaluate lifestyle and eliminate unnecessary stress from bad decisions, such as financial problems, excessive drinking or drug use. DeSalvo advised students to begin preparing for mid-terms and finals early to avoid excessively high-level stress during those times. If stress becomes too much of a problem, Strother said that students could see a counselor to help deal with anxiety or self-esteem problems that can create stress. problem. Hohendorf is followingexperts' advice. She has lost the pounds from last fall's over-eating and changed her diet. This semester she has been eating more vegetables and healthy pasta dishes, and hopes she'll be able to keep it up when classes get more stressful. which means, “It's a lot cheaper to eat healthier,” Hohendorf said. “And I feel a lot better, too.” Edited by Paul Kramer M . Sports Jayhawks run wild The track team won eight individual titles Saturday at the Jayhawk Invitational and freshman Libby Harmon set a record in the pole-vault. PAGE 7B The University Daily Kansan 1B Monday, February 2, 2004 Kansas ready for Border War Team prepares for rival after weekend loss By Ryan Colaiani rcolaiani@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter AMES, Iowa - As fans throughout Lawrence tried to find answers following the Jayhawks' upset loss in Ames Saturday afternoon, the Kansas players did not have that luxury. Instead, they had to use a four-hour bus ride home to start thinking about Border War rival Missouri, which pays a visit to Allen Fieldhouse tonight. The Jayhawks (13-4 overall, 5-1 Big 12 Conference) and the Tigers (9-8, 4-3) will enter the always-heated matchup searching for the same thing — consistency. Kansas has lost twice to un-ranked opponents in the past ten days, while Missouri has fallen off the face of the college basketball planet after being the third-ranked team in the country early in the season. "They've got great talent, probably one of the most talented teams in the Big 12," junior forward Wayne Simien said of Missouri. "They're looking to jump-start their season and get out of the rut they've been in, and this is definitely the game to do it." The Jayhawks are coming off of a game at Iowa State where forwards Wayne Simien and Jeff Graves both had a hard time getting open shots in the paint because of a stingy zone defense. An advantage Kansas' big men will gain against Missouri is the Tigers are without injured freshman forward Linas Kleiza, who has been a producer and a spark plug for his team all season. The absence of one of Missouri's bigger bodies should help alleviate the recent foul troubles Simien, Graves and freshman David Padgett have experienced. In the first half Saturday, the tri was able to stay on the floor, but coach Bill Self was forced to draw from deeper in his bench with senior forward Bryant Nash once Iowa State started to attack the paint more often. The Jayhawks also like the fact that they are playing just two days after a loss, cutting down the time they have to dwell on it. That was the situation following their 69-68 loss at home to Richmond on Jan. 22, when they defeated Colorado 77-62 just 48 hours later. "I think the fact that they're playing Kansas, whether they're 0-9 or 9-0, they're going to come in and give Kansas their best game," junior guard Michael Lee said. "We will be ready." - Edited by Louise Stauffer KANSAS (13-4, 5-1) Probable Starters Pos. No. Yr. Name PPG RPG F 42 Sr. Jeff Graves 5.4 4.6 F 23 Jr. Wayne Simien 15.4 9.3 G 15 Fr. J.R.

Cyclones weather Jayhawks By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter AMES, Iowa — The hallway to the visitor's locker room in Hilton Coliseum was quiet, but that changed quickly. When a team manager swung the locker room door open, the air was filled with Jayhawk players screaming four letter words. ter words. These expletives were about the only way to explain Kansas' (13-4 overall, 5-1 Big 12 Conference) second half meltdown in its 68-61 loss to Iowa State (13-4,4-2). Both teams were sluggish from the start of the game. Kansas started the game hitting just three of its first 11 shot attempts, with junior guard Keith Langford scoring the team's first eight points. "You know everybody right now is pointing fingers," senior forward Jeff Gravessaid. "Basically, the bottom line is that we didn't come out and play. We weren't ready. All we can do is look forward to Missouri and forget about this." The first half was ugly, with neither team finding g way to establish a flow on The Cyclones used a little of every thing to punish Kansas in the second offense, but the Jayhawks never let the Cyclones grab a lead. Kansas took a 29-21 lead into halftime. Iowa State took its first lead of the game with 12:35 remaining in the game at 42-40 in the midst of a 12-2 run. Another run later of 10-1 aided the Cyclones in getting their lead as large as 10 points at 64-54 with 2:43 left to play. A bland first half was contrasted by a second half that displayed an invigorated Iowa State squad that faced a lost and confused group of Jayhawks. The quartet of Cyclone starters consisting of guard Curtis Stinson,guard Jake Sullivan, forward Jackson Vroman and forward Jared Homan combined for 50 points in the game, but 35 of those came in the second half. A late three-pointer by Langford, a three-point play by junior forward Wayne Simien and another Simien free throw pulled Kansas to within three points at 64-61, but clutch shooting by Stinson and two late Sullivan free throws sealed the upset for the unranked Cyclones.

The Jayhawks had made it possible. Kansas interim head coach Lynette Woodard paused just before entering the tunnel. She looked up at the Jayhawk fans, waved and began to sway side-to-side, gently swinging her arms in front of her. Just two days after coach Marian Washington announced she was taking a medical leave from the team — her first game missed in 31 years as coach — Kansas responded by rededicating itself in a 74-61 victory Saturday over Oklahoma State The Jayhawks showed new life, illustrating the spirit shown by Woodrow. See how Lynette Woodard's first game as interim head coach went on page 7B. shown by Woodard after the game. "We needed that energy" sophomore guard Erica Hallman said. "Coach Washington gave it to us, and coach Woodard did a good job of coming in and keeping that energy." The energy was apparent from the start, when Kansas used hustle and execution to take a first-half advantage. "Win or lose, I wanted them to give a good effort," Woodard said, "and know what they could do within themselves." The players dedicated the game to coach Washington, who sent her best wishes to the team before the game in a conversation with Woodard. After leading 16-14 early, the Jayhawks used a quick 7-0 run, capped by an Aquanita Burras driving jumpshot and free throw to open a nine-point advantage. The Jayhawks, who have had troubles in the final minutes of recent games, were able to close strong as their lead never dipped below nine in the second half. "I think Coach leaving for medical reasons really woke us up," Hallman said. "She's been doing this for 31 years and she's been dedicated to us. It's about time for us to dedicate ourselves to her." Six minutes later, Kansas — and reserve guard Hallman — struck again. Hallman hit a fall-away three-pointer, giving the Jayhawks a 33-25 lead. After a lay-up by forward Crystal Kemp, Hallman connected on a second trey in 53 seconds from the left corner, and freshman Lauren Ervin's fade-away jumper in the lane made it a 10-0 Kansas run. Woodard said it was difficult for the team to overcome the emotions of the past 48 hours. "Time was still ticking," Woodard said. "Oklahoma State was going to be here at 7 o'clock.

He is, after all, getting familiar with the honor: Grand Slam tournament champion. Roger Federer climbs to No.1 after Australian Open victory Georgia Tech clinches victory Playing shrewd and confident tennis that has left him at No.1, Federer won the Australian Open 7-6(3), 6-4, 6-2 Sunday against a weary and frustrated Marat Safin. Federer has captured two of the last three majors following his Wimbledon triumph. "I feel like I'm living the game when I'm out there," the Swiss star said. "When a a guy is going to hit the ball, I know exactly the angles and the spins. I just feel that I've got that figured out." It was enough to end Safin's great run The unseeded Russian beat top-seeded Andy Roddick in the quarterfinals, then stopped defending champion Andre Agassi's 26-match winning streak at the Australian Open in the semis. But after more than 18 hours and 27 sets in six rounds, Safin had little left. Federer clearly was fresher, having spent just more than 10 hours on court and losing only two sets. The Associated Press ATLANTA - 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 Atlantic Coast Conference) bounced back from a weekend loss at North Carolina State, handing Clemson (8-10, 1-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) its fourth straight defeat. Elder 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. BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — A.J. Moye scored 15 points and Roderek Wilmont added all six of his points on a pair of three pointers in the final minute, leading Indiana to an upset of No. 21 Purdue. Indiana surprises Purdue The Hoosiers (11-6, 5-1) defeated 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. Alabama loses to Florida, despite effort by Winston 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 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. Alabama (11-6, 3-3) overtook Florida briefly on Kennedy Winston's 3-pointer off a nice pump fake with 6:48 left for a 72-71 lead. Then, Roberson hit a basket and a free throw and Lee hit two free throws off an offensive rebound and added a bank shot. 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. Winston hit five second-half 3-pointers, including three in a row to bring Alabama AP Top 25 1. Duke (18-1) did not play. 2. Stanford (18-0) did not play. 3. Saint Joseph's (18-0) did not play.

It was Woodard's first game as interim head coach since Marian Washington took a medical leave of absence on Thursday. Jonathan Kealing jkealing@kansan.com Kansan Sportwriter When the clock at Allen Field house read 20:00, Saturday, Lynette Woodard once again strolled to the bench for the Jayhawks. However, for this first time, she took the walk as the head coach. When Kansas' coach Marian Washington took a medical leave of absence, athletics director Lew Perkins made the decision to put Woodard in the position of interim head coach. "It was kind of like playing," Woodard said. "I was always nervous before the game, but once the tip-off was over, it just kind of fell into place." With Woodard at the helm, the team was able to snap a four-game losing streak, and notch its second conference victory of the season. Woodard said the team was using Washington's absence as an inspiration. She also made sure no one forgets about Washington. "We usually have this big loud cheer before the game, and I asked the team to hold that until coach gets back," Woodard said. wasmington's sudden departure left many of the players surprised, but they seemed OK with Woodard at the helm. "She's been around coach Washington a lot and she knows how to put winning teams together," junior forward Blain Waltz said. woodard's seasons as a player at Kansas were among the most successful in the women's basketball team's history, with three Big Eight championships and a combined 77 percent winning percentage. Washington was at the helm for all of those seasons. Woodard has tried to maintain consistency since taking over as interim head coach. The starting lineup against Oklahoma State was the same lineup Washington had used in recent games. She also worked to stabalize a team that had lost its leader. "Everybody was very hurt, shocked, depressed," freshman guard Lauren Ervin said. "Everybody felt it." Woodard indicated that Washington, while away from the game, was still keeping up with her team. "She sent word today for us to play our hearts out,"Woodard said. "She wants us to take care of the team and ourselves." A proud Woodard indicated that she would be calling Washington with the good news as soon as possible. "After the game, we do our prayers, and we made sure we had Coach Washington in them," junior guard Aquanita Burras said. With nine games left, including four road games against ranked opponents the team faces several challenges. In addition to those road games, they will also face No. 25 Nebraska and No.12 Kansas State at home. The team responded to Woodard Saturday, and she had nothing but good things to say about them. hats off to them," she said. They were very focused, and The Jayhawks are on the road this week at Texas Tech and Nebraska, and will return home to take on Kansas State on Feb. 11. —Edited by Nikki Nugent Record weekend for men's baseball By Ryan Colaiani rcolaiani@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter The Jayhawks swept Texas Southern in a two-game series this weekend, and the team registered its first no hitter since 1980 Sunday, winning 8-0. Junior Scott Sharpe started the game and worked three innings, giving up only one walk. The winning pitcher was senior Ryan Knippschid as he worked three perfect innings and struck out six batters. Junior Jacob Jean, freshman Sean Land, and junior Clint Schambach pitched the final three innings to cap the combined no hitter. David Hicks was the last Kansas pitcher to hurl a no hitter, on April 2, 1980, against Northwest Missouri State. Yesterday's performance was the first combined no hitter since April 5, 1960. The game was scoreless until the fifth inning when Ritchie Price hit a sacrifice fly to score sophomore Jared Schweitzer. Junior Andy Scholl hit a one-run double to'put the Jayhawks up 2-0. Sophomore Matt Batt scored in the seventh on a single by Price, giving the Jayhawks a 3-0 lead. The team sealed the victory in the ninth as the team scored five runs. Price had two more RBIs in the ninth. He finished with four for the game. In Saturday's contest, the Jayhawks were once again led by Price who went 2-5 with two RBIs and aided the team to a 9-1 victory. Price was 4-8 for the weekend. The Jayhawks put the game out of reach in the fifth inning, scoring five runs on just three hits because of Texas Southern's three errors in the fifth. Senior Chris Smart worked 3.2 innings in relief, walking just one and striking out five. Smart moved to 2-1 on the season. The two wins move the Jayhawks to 7-2 on the season. The team travels back to Texas on Friday to face Lamar in the Al Ogletree Classic. - Edited by Louise Stauffer Track team runs into success at Jayhawk Invitational By Michael Phillips mphillips@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter The University of Kansas track team showed signs of improvement at the Jayhawk Invitational Saturday. Freshmen Libby Harmon and Adrian Ludwig provided two of the Jayhawks' eight individual titles. Running at home may have helped Ludwig, who won the 800 meter dash with a time of 1.55.09. "The guy had fire in his eyes," said Kansas track coach Stanley Redwine. "Being at home really has its advantages." has no competition Harmon. The only competition Harmon, a pole vaulter, could get was from the record books. After securing victory in the competition Harmon was able to land a jump of 12-06.25 — an Anschutz Pavilion record. Following close behind in second place was teammate Erin Wessely, a junior who cleared from 11-08.50. Junior Sondra Rauterkus won the high jump and Brooklyn Hann, also a junior, won the triple jump for Kansas. Senior Leo Bookman won the 200 meter dash with a time of 21.10. Although Bookman has already qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships, the performance was special because it came in front of about 2 dozen of his former football teammates. Also winning events were junior Jeremy Mims in the 600 yard run, senior Stacy Keller in the 200 meter dash, and junior Megan Manthe in the 1000 meter run. The women also won two relay events, taking the 4X400 meter relay with a time of 3:44.40 and the 4X800 yard relay with a time of 9:53.14. The Jahaways have improved from previous years — something coach Redwine meets with a cautious optimism. "I think we have some people that can compete at the top," he said after the meet. "But to say that we can all of a sudden turn into conference champions may not be realistic." Another by-product of improvement could be seen in the standing-room only crowd. KAD PAR "We had really good support today," Redwine said. "We need more seats. More fans. That's the way it should be." Ludwig said he knew what it took to continue improving. took "it's still early in the season," he said, "and I'm just going to keep working on it day in and day out." Team results were not kept at Saturday's meet. The Kansas track team is in action next at the Husker Invitational on Feb. 7. Sophomore Chris Jones began a one-mile race on Saturday amidst a group of competitors. Jones finished third in the heat with a time of 4:17:40.

Once again, the New England Patriots have Adam Vinatier's foot to thank for a Super Bowl victory. Tom Brady set up Vinatieri's 41-yard field goal with 4 seconds left to give New England its second NFL championship in three seasons with a thrilling 32-29 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday night. Vinatieri earlier missed a field goal and another was blocked. But as he did in 2002 when he kicked the winning field goal to defeat St. Louis on the final play of the Super Bowl, he proved he is perhaps the NFL's best clutch kicker. Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady celebrated after leading the New England Patriots to a 32-29 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Brady threw for 354 yards and 3 touchdowns. Brady was voted the game's MVP for the second time in three seasons, although he did throw an interception that prevented New England from winning more easily. The kick prevented the Super Bowl from going into overtime for the first time ever. Carolina had tied the game at 29 with its third fourth-quarter TD on a 12-yard pass from Jake Delhomme to Ricky Proehl with 1:08 left. Then John Kasay kicked the ball out of bounds to give New England field position at its own 40. Brady moved the Patriots 37 yards in six plays, hitting Deion Branch to set up Vinatieri's winning kick. The Patriots led 14-10 at the half, and after a scoreless third quarter, they made it 21-10 on the second play of the fourth on a 2-yard run by Antowain Smith. It capped an eight-play, 71-yard drive featuring a 33-yard pass from Brady to tight end Daniel Graham. "There have been some heart attacks, but they've come out on top." Courtsev of KRT Bill Belichick Patriots head coach Carolina wasn't about to give up, though, scoring on DeShaun Foster's 33-yard run on a six-play, 81-yard drive. But the 2-point conversion pass was behind Muhsin Muhammad and it was 21-16. The decision to go for 2 would come back to haunt coach John Fox. The Patriots seemed ready to put the game away when they got the ball back, but Brady made a rare mistake _ throwing an offbalance pass that Reggie Howard intercepted in the end zone. Two plays later, Delhomme found Muhammad behind the New England defense for an 85-yard score, the longest play from scrimmage in Super Bowl history, to give the Panthers a 22-21 lead with 6:53 left. Fox again went for the 2-point conversion and failed. It was the first time since Nov. 23 that New England trailed. The Panthers' lead didn't last long, either. Brady came back with a TD pass to linebacker Mike Vrabel with 2.51 remaining, and Kevin Faulk ran in for the 2-point conversion to give New England a 29-22 lead. About two minutes later, Delhomme and Proehl hooked up to tie the score, giving Vinatieri another chance to be a hero. After the scoring drought to open the game, the Patriots and Panthers finally got going — 24 points in the final 3.05 of the first half that left New England with a 14-10 lead. Later, Delhomme led Carolina on a 95-yard drive, tied for second longest in Super Bowl history, capping it with a 39-yard TD pass to Steve Smith, who beat Torne Poole in single coverage. The Patriots dominated that dormant period and finally took a 7-0 lead on the first of two 5-ward TD passes by Brady. erage. That tied it at 7-7 with 1:14 left in the half. Carolina wasn't finished, either. Vinatieri squibbed the kickoff and Kris Mangum returned it 12 yards to his own 47. Brady came right back, hitting Branch for 52 yards behind Ricky Manning Jr. to set up the second 5-yard TD pass, this time to Givens. With 12 seconds and a timeout left, the Panthers crossed up the Patriots by handing the ball to Stephen Davis, who rushed 21 yards to the New England 32. After a timeout, Kasay kicked a 50-yard field goal to close the half. New England looked as if it might get off to a quick start, shutting down the Panthers on their first possession, then moving to the Carolina 13 after Troy Brown's 28-yard punt return. But Vinatieri's 31-yard fieldgoal attempt was wide right. It Sean Smith Kenann was only the third time he had missed indoors in 34 attempts, all of them in Houston. It was a night full of surprises Before the second-half kickoff, Justin Timberlake tore off part of Janet Jackson's top, exposing her breast during the halftime show, and a streaker was tackled on the field. Commercials, halftime show draw more viewers than football action "There have been some heart attacks, but they've come out on top," said coach Bill Belichick, whose team won its 15th straight game. Nick Sheeley, Kansas City, Mo., freshman; DIAnn Marosczak, Chicago junior; and Denana Psilopoulos, Providence, R.I., junior, cheered for the New England Patriots in the first half of the 38th Super Bowl yesterday. The three watched the game at Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar, 1012 Massachusetts St. By Dave Nobles dnboles@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Amid the frozen tundra of Lawrence, the Super Bowl provided a perfect opportunity to search for the ultimate savage football fan. Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar, 1012 Massachusetts St., which seemed to be a good place to begin this quest, was unpredictably subdued just as the game was set to start. Bartender Mike Kricsfeld, Omaha, Neb., graduate student, said 60 percent of the bar's revenue had been from carry-out sales in the first quarter. Kricsfeld said that the threat of a winter storm that might shake Lawrence may have played an important part in the sparsity of the crowd. It was evident that the journey to find the ultimate savage fan might be more difficult than anticipated and that people who were at the establishment were there for varying reasons. "I just want to watch the men in tight pants," said Bethany McCoy, Hutchinson sophomore. "You're not even a reporter, you're just trying to talk to us." McCoy's comment sparked the other members of her party to offer their thoughts on the Super Bowl. "I'm here for the booze and the halftime show," said Becky Eschmann, Topeka sophomore. Although none of the women the table seemed to be the ultimate savage fan, Jamie Johnson, Lincoln, Neb, sophomore, shed some light on why the onlookers may have been there in the first place. "If you don't watch it, you feel like you missed out," Johnson said. She was right. In the minds of many football fans, the Super Bowl is far better than the World Series, NBA finals and the NCAA Tournament combined. Not only does the game have the sports element, but also a business aspect that American people could be interested in. The only person in the bar with a jersey on of a player on either team, Jim Snyder, Jacksonville, Fla, senior said he thought American workers should get the day after off. The Yacht Club was significantly emptier than Buffalo Wild Wings, and Courtney Rich, Shawnee senior, said that the threat of snow was again the most prevalent factor. Joe Claunch, Tacoma, Wash. sophomore, wore New England Patriot Ty Law's number 24 jersey. Claunch said that the event epitomized all things American. Parking spots were abundant on Massachusetts Street as the quest took a turn for the Yacht Club, 530 Wisconsin St., at the end of the first half. "I think the media has hyped up the winter storm so people would stay in for the Super Bowl," Rich "It's probably the greatest thing on T.V." Clauunch said. said. "That's not how it should be." Mike Schwakopf, Overland Park senior, said that commercials were the only reason that he was watching as he threw darts at the electronic dartboard. "I've kind of given up on the game," Schwakopf said. The game was not over, though,and the only way to cover something like this righteously was to attend a house party. Upon arrival at the house party, commercials begging for viewers for the upcoming Survivor season were playing an important role in the sentiment, but not for Jamie Pickett, Stockton senior. "Survivor after the game?" Pickett said. "I won't even watch it." As the game neared an exciting close, Pickett said that it was the time spent with friends watching the game that was the true prize. Especially with the potential weather element, Pickett seemed to have the best grasp on the situation. The Super Bowl was a holiday, a time to gather with friends and knock back cold ones during four hours of entertaining television. As the game ended, the Patriots marched on to victory. The party seemed disappointed, except for one man. Tramer Ray, Medicine Lodge senior, won a bet with a friend because of the outcome. "My predictions came true," Ray said. "I'm going to The Outhouse!"

In the paint, Homan, Vroman and Damion Staple combined for 28 points and 22 rebounds. The Cyclones' 60.6 shooting percentage in the second half nearly doubled the 37.5 percent the lavhawks shot. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B Langford led Kansas with 20 points, including four threepoint field goals. Coach Bill Self said after the game if it were not for Langford's offense in the second half, his team would have not been able to stay in the contest. Simien was the only other Jayhawk to score in double digits with The victory was sweetest for senior guard Jake Sullivan. He was a freshman the last time Iowa State defeated Kansas in 2001, when the Cyclones swept the season series from the Jayhawks. At the time, he was just a partial contributor behind senior guards Jamaal Tinsley and Kantrall Horton, but this time it felt more significant. For Iowa State, Stinson led the way with 19 points and was consistently able to weave his way to the basket in the second half, creating his own shots. He also added 12 rebounds. 11 points. Junior guard Aaron Miles had his second consecutive double-digit assist effort with 11. "It means the world to me," Sullivan said. "It's what I've Another spark for Iowa State was Vroman's second half performance. The senior forward had only two points in the first half because three fouls put him on the bench. But he was able to help put Kansas' big men in foul trouble in the second half, scoring 10 more points in the process. The Jayhawks' tallest forwards, Simien, Graves and freshman center David Padgett were able to play longer before getting into foul trouble than they have been recently, but fouls played a key role in the final minutes. worked four years for. I feel Jamaal and those guys beat Kansas, don't get me wrong, and I feel like we beat Kansas now." "I definitely know what that's like, I've been in that position before, I was in that position tonight." Vroman said. "When you get in foul trouble you can't play with the same tenacity that you normally can, because you don't want to get a cheap foul, so that definitely helped us." The loss starts a stretch of games for Kansas over the next two weeks that includes Missouri, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks know they need every advantage possible in a conference race that will probably come down to the season's final week. "Road wirs are going to be key" Simien said. "And this one could catch up with us in the future."

A few tips that make the difference: 1. TAKE THE EVENT SERIOUSLY. It is an interview. You are making that all-important first impression. Only a small percentage of hundreds of interviewees will stand out at the end of the event. Make sure you're one of them! Dress well, practice your best handshake, award-winning smile and eye contact! 2. CREATE THE IDEAL RESUME. It should be short, sharp and digestible in one minute's reading by an employer. There are really excellent guides on resumes. Make sure yours is one that is memorable but totally professional. Use good quality WHITE paper (copies are ok as long as they are very clean and crisp). Forget pictures, graphics, colored paper, funky print styles--they don't leave a positive impression and they aren't scannable. Most major employers today will scan your resume into an automated applicant tracking system that can mean quicker retrieval for current or future interviews--if your resume meets the strict criteria the technology can handle. Prepare a resume that will scan well. 3. PLAN YOUR STRATEGIES CAREFULLY. Use all the information provided by the job fair producer and the attending companies. Company literature, job descriptions and advertising by the company is usually available. match for you. If you are able to read it prior to meeting them, you'll be prepared, ready to make cogent conversation and ask intelligent questions--making you a much more interesting candidate than those who ask "So. What do you guys do?" Bad move. That is, "What skills and characteristics would the ideal programmer need for your project leader position?" 4. YOUR "MINI-INTERVIEW" SHOULD BE A DIALOGUE, NOT A MONOLOGUE. THEN, use that information to sell yourself. "As you can see from my experience, I have..." OR, "Can you tell me what characteristics your most successful sales reps have?"..."I'm glad to hear that because..." Because you have limited time to make an impression and gain valuable information about the company, you should have several questions ready. These questions help you figure out if the company is a good 5. ANSWER QUESTIONS DIRECTLY POLITELY AND CONCISELY. Your goal is to get a SECOND interview, "in house" this time, so you don't have to play all your cards on the first round. If you're genuinely interested, let them know! "I am quite excited about the possibilities your company offers, and I think I have the talent to help you achieve your goals...What do I need to do to arrange a second interview?" This isn't "pushy";it's flattering and says you are professionally assertive! Ask them how they rate your credentials and "fit" compared to other candidates they're seeing. Asking for an honest appraisal is one of the best ways to raise it a notch! 6. IF A SECOND INTERVIEW ISN'T ARRANGED IMMEDIATELY, DON'T DESPAIR. Do the old-fashioned thing--send a thank you note to the person you met. (Get their card or write down their name and address at the event). Remind them of your interest and your qualifications and reiterate your interest in pursuing the second interview. Few people follow through this way today and you'll stand out from the crowd and demonstrate professional follow through. If an emergency occurs and you can't be on time, CALL and explain. 7. WHEN A SECOND INTERVIEW IS ARRANGED, BE SURE TO BE THERE ON TIME. Many of them have interviewed at other companies who may have an ideal position for you. Some may be leaving the ideal job for you. Share resources, leads and ideas. 8. DON'T FORGET TO "NETWORK." Often, other resources will be available such as professional associations or career centers. Make use of all the possibilities Remember, the more times you send your ship out, the more likely it will come in! TOP TEN THINGS NOT TO SAY AT A CAREER FAIR 10. When will I hear from you? 9. What do I wear to the interview? 8. I don't have any experience. 7. How much do you pay? 6. How much do you make? 5. I'm looking for anything. 4. What give-a-ways do you have? 3.

SUMMER JOB FAIR THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5 1:00PM-5:00PM KANSAS UNION LOBBY, 4TH FLOOR FINDINGASUMMERJOB Excerpted from an article found on Faze Online www.fazeteen.com School's out for summer and you would probably like nothing more than to relax. It would be great to spend some time watching TV or hanging out with friends. Unfortunately, if you are like most students that's not an option -- summer means time to look for a job. Whether saving for school, a new car, or because their parents are making them get off their butts, students of all ages start hitting the pavement looking for decent summer employment. employment. Looking for a summer job is easy. However, finding one is not. The newspapers and Internet are full of job opportunities. You could easily spend all ever sorting through job listings without ever finding anything of interest. Think of it this way, if you live in Toronto you might pick up a copy of The Toronto Star to look for a job. The Star has over 1.9 million readers daily. Imagine that 5% of Toronto Star readers are unemployed, and like you, are searching the classifieds for a great job opportunity. That makes you one of 95,000 people using the Star to find work. Your chances of finding a job you're interested in doing is poor and if you do your chances of getting that job are even worse. The Internet is not much better. You may have some luck on the bigger sites like www.workopolis.com or the HRDC Job Bank (www.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca) but you run into the same problem as with the newspaper. There are thousands and thousands of people looking through these sites daily. And although they have over 15,000 jobs posted most of them are not geared towards students. So what other options are available? Before you decide where best to look there are a few steps you need to take to prepare yourself for finding a job. The first thing you need to have is a resume Think of your resume as a marketing tool --you have to sell yourself, promoting your abilities and skills. You want to show them that you are the best candidate for the position. This means the more work you're willing to put into your resume the better it will pay off. If you want some suggestions on resume writing you can check out www.damngood.com for samples, tips, and answers to some tough questions. [or check with KU's University Career and Employment Services, www.ku.edu/~uces] The second step is deciding what kind of job you want. Do you want to work in hospitality, an office, retail, or recreation. Or maybe you would prefer to do manual labor. If you are having trouble figuring it out, try thinking about what your interests are. If you like working with people maybe you would enjoy sales or hospitality. If business is more your thing, try for a job in an office. Getting your foot in the door is a great way to network with people and learn more about the field you're interested in. Okay so now you have your resume done and you know what you want to do. So where do you look? The third step to finding a summer job is research, which presents a number of options. Lets assume that you have tried the newspapers and the Internet without any luck. Despite the fact that the majority of job searchers use newspapers and the Internet, only 20 percent of the available jobs are advertised. That means that 80 percent are not. The best way to tap into this market is through research. Decide on an industry in which you would like to work. Research the company, get the name of a contact person, and a phone and fax number so you can send a resume and find out if there are any positions currently available. Phone numbers can be found in the Yellow Pages, the Internet or you can try the Canadian Career Directory, which lists 900 employers throughout Canada including the qualifications they look for, contact information, and whether or not they hire summer students. [Although this article was written for Canadian readers, the idea of using the Yellow Pages and Internet are still applicable. Also available to University students is the University Career and Employment Services, found in 110 Burge Union www.ku.edu/~uces. UCES provides numerous job search tools and resources. See page 6 for details.] So if you know what you want to do, and you have good resume then try and find a summer position that will allow you gather some experience. Keep in mind your summer job does not have to be directly related to your career aspirations. Many of the skills you acquire through a summer job can be transferred into other areas. Trying a variety of summer jobs will give you valuable experience and may even help you figure out what you want to do for a future career.

Excerpted from an article from California State University Sacramento's College of Business Administration Web site, www.csus.edu/cba. It's your future. Take a step in the right direction. 75% of employers are seeking new college graduates with career-related experience; making a decision to gain experience in your concentration within the Business major through an internship is a step in the right direction for your future career success. Experience may indeed be the single most important factor in making informed career decisions. Internships, structured career-related learning experiences outside the university classroom setting are important to your future marketability because they provide valuable career-related work/learning experience and the opportunity to: - To test out your classroom knowledge in a work environment - Develop competencies and acquire knowledge and skills by successfully meeting new types of interpersonal and intellectual challenges - Apply theories - Investigate work roles and career possibilities - Test out and confirm or reshape your career goals - Develop skills that enhance your qualifications for future full-time professional employment - Make professional contacts in your field - Possibly gain an offer of full-time employment upon graduation - Assess your strengths and weaknesses as it relates to the work and whether or not this is the right career for you - Assess a company's overall work environment, the type of work they do,the type of people who work there,the organizational structure and whether or not you could advance at the company. - In addition, a growing number of employers are using internships as a way to gain a first in-depth look at prospective employees. In this respect, both you and your employer have a common goal namely, to determine if there is a good fit between you. FINDING THE RIGHT INTERNSHIP Excerpted from an article from California State University Sacramento's College of Business Administration's Web site, www.csus.edu/cba - Start looking early and begin your search at least one semester in advance. - Use all your resources to review listings of internships currently available in your field; internship directories located in the Office of Student Affairs; career-related internet sites and leads from your academic department. - Try to determine exactly what type of internship you want. - Look for opportunities to develop skills that you like to use as well as those you want to develop. - Keep an open mind about opportunities that may be available. - Discuss possible internship options with the career consultant who works with faculty in your concentration. - Before you begin your search, be sure you have developed solid job hunting strategies. Visit the career center on campus for resources that will help you develop your job search strategy. - Before you contact an organization, be prepared with a list of questions about the position, hiring process and their company. Prepare ahead of time! - Ask for a detailed position description, get the name and title of your phone contact for future reference, and verify any other significant information. - Be persistent!

Spellmeir nspellmeier@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The hill behind JRP Hall was littered with abandoned laundry baskets and pieces of broken plastic yesterday, an indication of the weekend's winter activities. But not all sledding enthusiasts had given up because of the cold. Four sledders endured biting winds yesterday to frolic in the snow. "We were trying to decide how many years it had been since we've gone sledding," said Glenda Rolle, Peoria, Ill., senior. She said she hadn't been sledding since before she came to college. Her friend, Amber Koelzer, Corning senior, said it had been at least two years for her. They seemed to be making up for lost winters, having been out for what they said felt like three hours but was probably closer to just one or two. had been sledding at the University. He said everything went pretty smoothly except for an incident when the group temporarily lost its snowboard on Potter's Lake. Neal said she walked out onto the ice to rescue it, but not to worry, she was experienced. University of Kansas students were not the only ones taking advantage of the campus hills. 9-year-old Garret Kahle and 12-year-old Rachel Neal, both of Linwood, and 12-year-old Jeremy Bradshaw, of Lansing, were snowboarding and sledding yesterday afternoon. Their schools had cancelled classes yesterday and the three were out early, wanting to beat the Lawrence crowd. Bradshaw said it was the first time he "I smacked it with my boot and it was cracking, so I moved over to where it was safe." Neal said. The recent cold weather is not unusual for this region, said Curtis Hall, instructor of geology. He said the weather Kansas has experienced for the past 10 years was more unusual. "If you look at the '80s, the winters were much harsher," he said. The recent warm winters could be an effect of global warming, but Hall was SEE SNOW ON PAGE 6A 1073 Downtown area on ice City creates makeshift ice rink for skaters By Laura Pate lpate@kansan.com Kansan staff writer For the first time in three years, Lawrence Parks and Recreation has given the OK to turn part of downtown into a skating rink. 1 Amanda Kim Stairrock/Kensan Lawrence Parks and Recreation poured water into a patch of ground at Sixth and Kentucky streets Thursday morning through a fire hydrant at the intersection of Sixth and Tennessee streets. The area is a sloped, grassy spot in the summer in Buford M. Watson Jr. Park. Kale and Alek Joyce, Lawrence residents, played hockey at Buford M. Watson Jr. Park, Sixth and Kentucky streets on Saturday. The city of Lawrence froze the area for skaters. Roger Steinbrock, marketing supervisor for the department, said the temporary rink would be usable for at least a week. He said skaters must provide their own ice skates and he said he discouraged people from walking on the ice in tennis shoes. Although Steinbrock advised skaters to wait until yesterday to skate because the ice had to have time to harden into a three to four inch surface, Olathe resident Patrick Hall couldn't wait that long. He took his three children to the rink Saturday. Jim Joyce of Lawrence couldn't wait, either. On Saturday and Sunday afternoon, he took his 9-year-old son Kale to Lawrence's makeshift rink to play hockey. "It's really thick ice," said Maggie, Hall's 9-year-old daughter. "Just stay out of the white cracks." "You don't have to drive 45 minutes to Kansas City to skate," Joyce said. When the Lawrence ice skating rink is not usable, Joyce drives his son to Pepsi Ice Midwest & Fitness Center in Overland Park. Although some people have skated on Potter's Lake on campus this year, Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said the ice on the lake near Memorial Stadium was not yet solid enough for skaters. Bailey said no fatalities or injuries have resulted from skating on the lake, but he said he discouraged skating on Potter's Lake.

Long distance runner Chris Jones is battling his cold while running outdoors, but he wouldn't have it any other way. Along with the other Kansas distance runners, the Iowa City, Iowa junior practices outside regardless of the conditions. His running outfit consists of layers of cotton, spandex, a face mask and a pair of eloves. Jones said he thought his cold was a result of the weather, because he took precautions to stay healthy by changing out of wet clothes after exercising and taking vitamins. "I enjoy running outside," Jones said. "Running on a track indoors can be boring." But cold weather isn't the only cause for a cold. It's a combination of cold weather and viruses encouraged by cold air that cause a person to be sick. But when temperatures drop to single digits, students underestimate the importance of dressing warm, said Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Exposing yourself to drastic changes in temperature, such as students who walk outside in shorts after working out, can also cause fatigue. Strother said. One health concern of cold weather is its effect on the immune system, which Strother said can encourage some viruses. Strother recommends students dress in layers to keep their body's core temperature constant and maintain circulation. She said once the body's temperature starts to fall, you start to lose circulation. Once circulation is cut off, the body is open to develop frostbite. "One thing with getting cold is you're setting yourself up to get ill more often," she said. Keith Young, Libertyville, Ill., senior works at the Student Fitness Recreation Center. He sees fitness come to work out wearing several layers of clothes but leave wearing just a T-shirt and shorts. Strother advises students to be over-prepared for winter weather. 1 "You're better off stripping down and having to drag around clothes," Strother said. "Try to plan ahead the night before."

Sigma Lambda Gamma will host "Luscious Latinas and Bootylicious Black Women," at 7 tonight at the International Room in the Kansas Union. The program is designed for women to help eliminate stereotypes that Latina and African-American women face in today's society. Melanie Weiser, Dallas senior and Sigma Lambda Gamma member, said she came up with the title so it would catch people's attention. "I was reinforcing the stereotypes to bring up their importance "The outline of the program is to identify the stereotypes we've heard, try to figure out where they came from, and then see how to go about eliminating them." them." and the fact that we need to talk about it," she said. Melanie Weiser Dallas senior She said that women encountered stereotypes, both good and bad. "The outline of the program is to identify the stereotypes we've heard, try to figure out where they came from, and then see how to go about eliminating them," she said. One of the problems is people tend to make racial stereotypes a black and white issue, said Kristy Croom, Independence senior and Sigma Lambda Gamma president. "Usually people don't talk about Asian Americans or Hispanic Americans," she said. "They kind of clump the smaller minorities into groups. It's usually because of a lack of knowledge of the different groups." Weiser said the program was for women of all races even though the focus was on African-American and Latina women. The program is just one event that is part of the University's celebration of Black History Month, which has a theme of "Bringing Our Future Into Focus." Weiser said that it was nice that Sigma Lambda Gamma could hold an event for Black History Month, even though the group wasn't necessarily part of the black community. we always try to understand all cultures even though we are a Latina-based organization," Croom said. The sorority will sponsor two more events for Black History Month, "African Americans in the Media" featuring lecturer Jamel Bell on Feb. 16 and "King and Chavez's Dreams" on Feb. 11. Sigma Lambda Gamma was founded nationally in 1990. It has been at the University since 1997 Edited by Louise Stauffer Research spending sets new high By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The University of Kansas has spent $258 million on research in 2003, more than any other year. The growth in expenditures passed 2002's amount of $243 million. The record featured an 11 percent increase in funding from sources outside the University. "It's a record that shows the growth we've had as one of the fastest-growing universities," said Jim Roberts, interim vice provost for research and interim president of the KU Center for Research. The University received a majority of research funding from outside sources. Industry and state and local governments donated $31.4 million. The federal government contributed $133.3 million. Roberts said the amount of federal dollars in 2003 was impressive because it came from competitive research proposals. "It's a record that shows the growth we've had as one of the fastest-growing universities." Jim Roberts Interim vice provost for research and interim president of the KU Center for Research "It comes from the continued outstanding work of researchers, staff and students," Roberts said. "It shows the University is committed to research." The University spent the remaining $93.3 million on its own research. The money was distributed among a broad range of studies, including life sciences, engineering and pharmacy. Roberts said there were more than 16,000 active research studies at the University. Administrators and faculty were pleased with the record amount. "Certainly, the growth is the result of productivity," said Stuart Bell, dean of engineering. "It will impact the school and support our students." Bell said the increase in expenditures will increase the academic quality of his programs and also help improve equipment and facilities at the School of Engineering. and engineering research. In 2001, the University ranked 45th among public universities with approximately $74.5 million. Of the country's public universities, 100 are ranked based on money spent on science and engineering research. Another improvement in research came from $91 million of federal money spent on science Results for 2002 will be released this month. U.S. News and World Report uses the same ranking system for its research list as it uses in its annual "America's Best Colleges" report. Roberts said he expected research to continue growing at the University and hoped 2004's numbers would surpass 2003's. "It was a great year for KU," Roberts said. "It's part of the chancellor's vision of getting the University to be a top-25 institution." — Edited by Amanda Kim Stairrett Program eases college transition By Aziza Tafreshi atafreshi@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Being a college freshman is enough to shake the confidence in even the cockiest person. First-time students are away from home and surrounded by more than 25,000 other students. Throw in 1,000-person lecture classes and foreign terms such as "credit/no credit," and life might seem downright overwhelming. That's where Thematic Learning Communities come in. Starting next fall, students won't have to live in a residence hall to have help from peer advisors in combating these freshman anxieties. Linda Dixon, interim TLC coordinator, said she wanted the program to affect as many students as possible so students could have a good experience their first year. Designed for incoming freshmen, TLCs began last fall as academically focused programs to help students acclimate to their first year at the University of Kansas, Dixon said. Each new TLC will have a maximum of 20 students. They will be enrolled in two thematically related general education courses and a seminar course, taught by a faculty facilitator. Dixon said although it is not required, students generally gravitate toward a theme that encompasses their major, and TLCs provide a way to meet people with similar interests. In residential TLCs, offered in McCollum, Ellsworth, Hashinger, Lewis and Oliver halls, students live on the same floor as other students in their TLC Mary Garavaglia said this arrangement had been a good way to make friends and made her classes easier. "It was just nice to have someone on your floor that was taking the same classes you were so that you could study with them or ask them questions," the St. Louis, Mo., freshman said. Students in residential TLCs also live with a peer educator, an upperclassman who serves as both a mentor and an academic resource. Peer educators also organize study groups and activities to supplement the theme. "High school and college life is so different, so we try to guide them onto the right path," said Shinying Chu, educator for the Mind, Brain and Behavior TLC. "If they need anything, we're here for them." The Melaka, Malaysia graduate student said as an international student, she wished a program like this had been available when she first arrived. "I had lots of trouble when I came here. My English wasn't that good, and I needed a lot of help in terms of procedures," Chu said. "I had had a peer educator I could have gone to, it would have made it a lot easier." Daniel Dykstra, Wichita sophomore and peer educator, said exploring an area of potential interest was a good way for students to determine whether a major was right for them. "Even if they didn't end up pursuing it, it would give them a really good idea of why they wouldn't want to," Dykstra said. The list of TLCs offered for next fall has nearly doubled from this year. Dixon said she also wants to eventually have TLCs in GSP-Corbin Hall, as well as in off-campus housing and scholarship halls by next fall. "There's just so many ways you can have learning communities," Dixon said. "Who knows how it's going to blossom." Edited by Donovan Atkinson BE A PART OF IT.

KU students aren't unique to interest "As an election year cranks up, with caucuses in neighboring Iowa on Monday, the candidates are mired in Medicare and the war on terror. But at this Midwestern school, a human sexuality class and a sexually charged calendar are the issues." You may be asking, where is this seemingly sex-crazed Midwestern school that this quote from a Jan. 20 article in The Dallas Morning News is referring to? OURVIEW The Dallas Morning News recently printed an article alleging KU students are sex obsessed. In this, a sarcastic editorial, we wonder: are we really more concerned with sex than with social issues? Well, let's narrow down some of our choices. The University of Missouri? Probably not. Rumor has it no one there has sex. Nebraska? Oklahoma? No, fellow Jayhawks, this quote is referring to none other than the good old University of Kansas. C'mon. The quote rules out Iowa.

In fact, Dennis Dailey's human sexuality class should become a required part of the freshman curriculum, as important as English 101 even, so a good, solid sexual foundation could be set early in a young Jayhawk's stay here in Lawrence. Those soldiers should never have enlisted in the first place. Maybe if that single mother of four on welfare didn't work in that paint-producing factory while she was pregnant, her baby would've been born healthy, right? We should break them in early, get their young, impressionable minds off of all the pointless, played-out social Just give us sex, Sex, sex, sex. Yeah, screw them. issues that cloud our lives. We should start to push the more serious issues that concern our campus, such as how far apart that girl's legs are spread on the cover of the new "Women of KU" calendar. There's a basketball blocking the money shot, what's the big deal? Because, in the end, these are the kind of things that really matter to KU students. Isn't that right, Dallas Morning News? PERSPECTIVE Apathy not the problem with Gen. Y; our activism takes a different form Uninterested, skeptical and selfindulgent; Generation Y is described as one word; apathetic. COMMENTARY The time of the new election is upon us. This in turn sparks the question, "How do we get this apathetic youth to care about political/social (feel free to insert what you like here) issues?" But this generation is far from apathetic. Today, students worry about their studies, getting jobs, finding careers after college and relationships both romantic and platonic. The list continues to grow longer and longer. Today's youth may live in a fruitful society, but it leaves little room to fail. Parents design it this way. In the '60s and '70s, college-aged kids (our parents) experienced a plethora of issues. Civil rights, women's rights, homosexual rights and the draft. Each issue knocked on their doors ALEXANDRA CALDWELL Brandi Mathiesen opinion@kansan.com every day. Who wouldn't speak up? "As I look over the decade of the '60s, early in the decade students were very much like now," said Dan Bernstein, professor of psychology. "What I think is different are the issues generated in the 60s and 70s. As annoying as Iraq is, nobody knows any KU students who were dragged off to war. Many, many people were dragged to Vietnam. It was immediately relevant and generated a lot of activity." Bernstein said that after the issues cooled, people lapsed into inaction. cooler, people upbeat. "How a person reacts to crisis events depends on the person, Bernstein said. "This generation has the same variety and range of people now as then, but they don't have the deep crisis. The situation is the difference." This generation enjoys a comfortable lifestyle, and carries a heavy burden to succeed. Generation Y is plagued with the desire for perfection: the perfect paycheck, perfect partner and perfect property (singular or plural). Growing up, parents and society introduced this generation to the need for college. While attending college, this generation continues to add more interests that lead to more stress. The desires are endless and expected. While choosing what to put on their plate to ensure success, students listen read and voice their opinion. Though political and social issues may not top as the main cuisine, it does come in the form of an occasional dessert. Because students are busy with studies, work and other chosen activities, this does not mean they are uninterested in politics and other headlining news. This generation is skeptical, spirited and thinks critically. They use time wisely, and speak up when needed. Generation Y is carefully preparing itself for the future. A thought provoking, soft-spoken, powerful generation is growing into adulthood. This generation may not be shouting at the top of its lungs, but if you listen carefully our voice is heard.

ON POLITICS President Bush's politics should stay; Rumsfeld, and abortion rights OK to go In my first column of the semester I have been asked to present myself and my views. I don't plan to be vague about this task; I will take a direct and honest route. With apologies to those who dislike labels, I am a conservative. What is more, many of you will probably find me to be extraordinarily far to the right and even mislabel me a radical for many of my views. As much to pique your interest and make you want to read my columns as for any other reason, I will describe my views on some pertinent issues here. A sort of stump speech if you will. A sort of example: I think George W. Bush should be re-elected. I do not worship the man. In fact I think he has made certain mistakes in his term. However, I think that he is a basically honest person who has done his best under difficult circumstances. I greatly admire his willingness to circumvent ponderous trilateral organizations COMMENTARY Matt Pirotte mburhenn@kansan.com (the United Nations) when they fail to accomplish their duties. I also think that when the United States is under imminent threat of harm we dearly need a Texan in the White House. To qualify my strong statements in support of the president, I am not pleased to see what he is doing with immigration, and I think Donald Rumsfeld should be sent packing. I am not at all convinced by the rhetoric against Bush's tax cuts. Even when I hear such arguments as "he is giving the biggest breaks to the wealthiest people" I tend to think to myself "who do you suppose is paying the most taxes to begin with?" I think that those who are blessed with financial success have a moral duty to share their wealth with those less fortunate. I do not think it is the government's position to be the arbiter of that morality. Does it not seem that a tax system that takes a larger cut from those who make more money is fundamentally un-American? I do not believe in a "woman's right to choose." I have little doubt that I will get the opportunity to expound on this view in the future, so I will not attempt it here. Roe v. Wade is the Dred Scott decision of our time. I firmly think that history will remember the last 31 years as the American Holocaust; I hope that history will not judge us all too harshly for allowing it to continue. I am alarmed by the growing secularization I see in our culture. I think that cutting religion out of more and more spheres of life is a dangerous and slippery slope. Regardless of how all politicians end their speeches, I do not think we can simultaneous ask God to bless America and then butt out of our society. Rather than going on and on, I will encourage you to read my columns. It's going to be a wild ride. Pirota is a Joplin, Mo., senior in biology.

Today, as the polls open in the Missouri primary, the Show-Me State might show the world who the next Democratic candidate for the presidency of the United States will be. The Missouri race might have special importance for two reasons, Donald Haider-Markel, associate professor of political science, said. First,after the home state favorite and former Speaker of the House Dick Campaign 2004 ★★★★★ Gephardt dropped out of the race following the Iowa caucus, the winner of Missouri's support has become more mysterious. This is important because Missouri has more delegates than most of the seven states that have primaries or caucuses today, Haider-Markel said. Missouri also might be a swing-state come November, meaning the voters could elect a candidate from either party. from either party. “It's a battleground state for both parties,” Haider-Markel said. “It gives both parties a sense of what it's going to take to win.” According to a recent poll by Survey USA, 812 voters were asked who they would vote for in the Missouri primary. 41 percent said they would vote for U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.). Following Kerry in Missouri were U.S. Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) with 17 percent and former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean with 16 percent. Howard Dean warns "I think Tuesday could easily clinch it for Kerry," said Tom Keating, Marysville junior and head of the KU Democrats. "But there will probably be at least a few more surprises before the convention." Kerry's lead is disconcerting to "I have to admit I find it a little disappointing it isn't a tighter race," said James Owen, Springfield graduate student. No matter what the results of the primary. Missouri might still help shape the tone of the rest of the presidential race. "It's pretty meaningful as an early test," Haider-Markel said. "What messages will work here will work for both parties." work for your purposes. Keating said that if the results of Missouri primary don't clarify Democratic candidacy race, they might help she a spotlight on the Kansas primary. "That doesn't happen very often and it would be great if Kansas factored into the nomination process this year," Keating said. "A close primary in Kansas could generate interest in the candidates and would help network Democrats in Kansas." Passion for Dean, politics permeate freshman's life KANSAS DEAN FORAMERICA.COM Howard DEA THE KISSINGER FILES • BOB HOPP News HOWA Americans...r rd AN Edited by Joe Hartigan Sam Stepp, Shawnee Mission freshman, held former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean brochures and a magazine as he sat in his residence hall room yesterday.A Dean supporter since 2003. Stepp is co-chairman of KU for Dean. By Samia Khan skhan@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Sam Stepp doesn't like the feeling of making people unhappy. He knows it is impossible for politicians to keep everyone satisfied, so he tells his friends that it's just not the life for him. He also realizes politics is a major avenue of positive change. He tries to pick candidates of strong character who are willing to fight for the people. "Most people don't trust politicians, but I'm hoping to find the good side," he said. Stepp, Shawnee Mission freshman, is the co-chairman of KU for Dean, a student organization that campaigns for former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, Democratic presidential candidate. After attending a local Dean meet-up last semester, Stepp began organizing student campaign activities. Stepp helps to organize the group, passes out fliers, chalks sidewalks and writes letters to undecided voters. Stepp has been a supporter since Dean's early campaign days of 2003. He has spoken with Dean on two occasions. The first meeting was in tent set up in a supporter's back yard. A few months later, he met him again at a crowded speech in the Uptown Theatre in Kansas City, Mo. In the theater, Stepp caught Dean's attention. "I was echoing his catch phrases," he said. "He laughed and picked me out of the crowd with his microphone. He knew I'd seen him speak before." Stepp said. Stepp had seen and met Dean so many times that he remembered large portions of Dean's stump speech. "He's a really nice guy," he said. "The media likes to portray him as an angry little man, but he wants to help people." Stepp shows his enthusiasm by keeping campaign stickers, clippings, signs, buttons and a stack of photos taken with Dean. In his residence hall room, there is a split in the ranks. On one side of the front door is an homage to Dean. The other side is his roommate's display of U. S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) clippings. They meet in the middle of the door with a newspaper photo of Kerry, Edwards, and Dean, the three Democrats with whom they find a common ground. "It's a funny competition," said Jeff Stocker, Leawood freshman and Stepps roommate. "It's refreshing to see someone who is so involved and cares as much." caries as me edu Stepp was only a sophomore in high school when his interest in politics developed along with his desire to help people. If he does run for office someday,he hopes he would be strong enough to maintain his integrity in the political game. "My friends always tell me 1 should run because I would be different from the rest of the politicians," he said. He fears being a politician would expose him to too much negativity and cause him to lose Regardless of what he decides for his future career, Stepp wants to involve in political issues. His involvement with KU for Dean and local meet-ups helped him see that he is not alone in his concerns. focus on making changes in the world. Knowing somewhere that deep in politics there is a good side keeps him motivated to create change, he said. Dean is his primary example. "I'm going to give it my all until the end," he said. "I still have optimism in helping change the world." - Edited by Louise Stauffer Jaybowl LEAGUE SIGN-UP One Night a Week @ 7pm. Mon-Wed. 4 people to a team.

CONTINUED FROM 1A The weather in Kansas is determined by the polar front, which is a boundary between the cold air mass from the arctic and the tropical air mass from the equatorial region. When the boundary is to the south of the area, there is a cold-weather region. If it is north, there is warm weather. Because of Kansas' location in a middle area between the two extremes, it experiences changing seasons and often unexpected weather. The polar front is currently just barely south of Kansas, Hall said. If you go even a little south, it is considerably warmer. The strong winds are a result of being near a large temperature gradient, where there is a rapid change in temperature over a short distance. Hall said he thought the current cold snap would last another week. Edited by Joe Hartigan Six more weeks of winter, says Phil The Associated Press PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. — If you're tired of winter, Punx-sutawney Phil had a message for you yesterday — get used to it. After a rap on an oak stump roused him from his home on Gobbler's Knob, the world's most famous furry forecaster "saw" his shadow on Groundhog Day morning, which according to tradition means six more weeks of winter. Phil even included a topical reference in his proclamation — to the capture of Saddam Hussein. "I'm glad I live in this luxurious burrow on the knob, and not in a dirty, smelly, spider hole like a slob," said the proclamation read aloud by one of the organizers. "When I come out, I don't want to negotiate; but to just do my job and prognosticate." The prediction drew boos from thousands who gathered in 17-degree weather for the 118th annual festivity run by the Punxutawney Groundhog Club. The spirited crowd, some clad in furry groundhog hats or even full-length costumes, chanted "Phil! Phil! Phil!" after fireworks and a long night of rock music drew to an end and the hour of the ceremony neared. Including yesterday's prediction, the groundhog is reported to have seen his shadow 104 times since the tradition began in Punxutawney. It is rooted in a German superstition that if a hibernating animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2, winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow is seen, legend says spring will come early.

Williams called the ban on what opponents call partial-birth abortion "impermissibly void for vagueness." The judge blocked the law last July, calling it a "no-brain case." He also has challenged the use of the term "partial birth infanticide" by the law's backers, saying it was an attempt to alarm the public. RICHMOND, Va. — A federal judge struck down Virginia's ban on a type of late-term abortion yesterday, saying the law violated privacy rights and failed to make an exception for the health of the woman. Virginia's law outlawed a procedure generally performed in the second or third trimester in which a fetus is partially delivered. Lawyers for the Center for Reproductive Rights, who filed the suit, argued that the law was unconstitutional because it disregarded a four-year-old Supreme Court ruling allowing the procedure when the health of the mother is threatened. The state law contained no such health exception. "Courts across the country including the U.S. Supreme Court have been clear that such bans are an unconstitutional threat to women's health and lives," Nancy Northup, president of the center, said. The group said the lawsuit was a precursor to a challenge to the limited federal ban, which is already being challenged in Nebraska, New York and California. About 30 states have enacted versions of partial birth abortion bans, but in many cases they have been overturned in court. Virginia attorney general Jerry Kilgore said yesterday's decision was not unexpected, but he plans to appeal. "This ruling is not surprising, given the number of times we have had to appeal rulings on similar legislation to higher courts," said Kilgore, a Republican. The Associated Press Super Bowl stunt could cost millions NEWYORK—Suddenly, Brittney and Madonna's smoothfest seems G-rated. Janet Jackson's bobolicious performance with Justin Timberlake at the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday has sparked a federal investigation and set new standards for raunch in an entertainment industry that seems to be setting new highs—or lows—every day. Gone are the days when a powerful performance is all that's needed to deliver a water cooler moment. Today, a barely there outfit, same-sex smooching, foul language — and now, a flash of nudity — are what's required to get America talking. "Everytime an artist does something you think they sort of break the barrier, and it keeps getting more and more outrageous," said Tom Poleman, senior vice president of programming at New York City radio station Z100. "I think artists will keep on exploiting every opportunity they can get." When Timberlake snatched off part of Jackson's bustier, revealing a breast clad only in a sun-shaped "nipple shield," the barrier was not broken, it was shattered before 89 million viewers. Federal Communications Commission chief Michael Powell said in a statement, "Like millions of Americans, my family and I gathered around the television for a celebration. Instead, that celebration was tainted by a classless, crass and deplorable stunt." He promised an investigation, with potential fines of up to $27,500. Despite the apparent premeditation — the display coincided exactly with Timberlake singing, "I'm gonna have you naked by the end of this song" — all involved denied that the peep show was planned, and Jackson and Timberlake both issued apologies. "This was done completely without our knowledge," said Chris Ender, entertainment spokesman for CBS, which was deluged with angry calls. "It wasn't rehearsed. It wasn't discussed. It wasn't even hinted at ... This is something we would have never approved. We are angry and embarrassed." The NFL said it was "extremely disappointed." Several members of Congress, the Parents Television Council and the Traditional Values Coalition expressed outrage. Even halftime producer and CBS corporate Viacom cousin MTV — the network that has given us Jackass, Diana Ross fondling Lil Kim's pastied breast and Madonna kissing Britney Spears at last August's MTV Awards — was contrite. "Unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional," said MTV. But was it? Although Timberlake issued a statement shortly after the show blaming the debacle on a "wardrobe malfunction," in comments to the syndicated show Access Hollywood right after the incident, he didn't seem too sorry. "Hey man, we love giving you all something to talk about," he said, laughing. Jackson's official Web site was bombarded with angry postings. Her spokeswoman, Jennifer Holiner, said a red lace garment was supposed to remain when Timberlake tore off the outer covering. In a statement released last night, Jackson said it was a last-minute stunt that went awry. "The decision to have a costume reveal at the end of my half-time show performance was made after final rehearsals. MTV was completely unaware of it," she said. "It was not my intention that it go as far as it did. I apologize to anyone offended — including the audience, MTV, CBS and the NFL."

They said "Quin for Prom Queen," was also on their list of jeers. "We're constantly thinking these up. It's a 24/7 job for us," Bobbett said. None of the event staff expected any hostility like the brawl that took place at the end of the women's game. Most of the fans hoped for some sort of parallel excitement. Healthy or not, the rivalry breeds few fans of apathy. "If there's a brawl, I'll jump in." Patti said. "I'm hoping for a little confrontation. I at least hope we kill 'em." Baxter said. No matter what happens in any Kansas basketball season or game, the Border War match-up is serious business for Jahawk fans looking for the freshest way to show their passion. — Edited by Michelle Rodick MILES: Injury doesn't spoil match CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A involved a whole lot, and kept our adrenaline pump." After the final alley-oop, the Tigers scored just one more basket while the Kansas crowd was still on its feet from the Simien dunk. Then, instead of wowing the crowd with some of his signature flashy passes, Miles stepped up to the foul line with just over one minute left, and Kansas leading 59-54. After a pep talk from Giddens, Miles stepped to the free throw line and calmly sank both free throws, giving the Jayhawks their biggest lead to that point at 61-54. Missouri scored just two more points the rest of the way, as Miles and the Jayhawks beat the Tigers for the sixth time in the last seven meetings. Giddens praised Miles after the game for his clutch performance. "He might not score as much points, or get as much boards," Giddens said. "But he deserves a big hand."

KANSAS 25 The University of California BURR CITY FRANK FRY SPORTS PAGE The Tigers entered the game ranked ninth in the conference in three-point field goal percentage at 32.8. They managed only half that yesterday, going 3-for-18 from beyond the arc. "KU hates Missouri, and I never knew there was that much passion until before the game," Giddens said. "I came out there, the student section was completely filled, and I think there was a tiger in the stands saying 'Eat Poop,' and all that crap. I was like 'dang, the fans aren't even watching us warm up.' I was missing shots looking in the stands." ing the game, do not be alarmed. Giddens tweaked his right knee in the final minutes of Kansas' victory, but the pain was subsided by what the freshman called his "greatest day at Kansas." The injury is not serious. Coach Bill Self was impressed with his team's defensive improvement following Saturday's meltdown. "For 40 minutes, it was probably as good as it's been." Self said. "In the second half, we made them earn what they got." It was hard to ignore the effect of atmosphere on Kansas' play. Self acknowledged the boost his team got from the crowd after notching his first victory against Missouri as the Kansas coach. "When I got here, you could sense there was a different feel in the building," Self said. "This was an awesome college atmosphere today." Basketball Notebook Padgett Gets The Nod — For the first time since returning from a stress fracture in his left foot, David Padgett was inserted into the starting lineup. The move proved important in the Jayhawks' victory, as their big men stayed out of foul trouble for most of the first half. Jeff Graves and Wayne Simien have been victims of early foul calls that have forced Bill Self to draw from his bench prematurely lately. "We've got a better chance of keeping Jeff in the game if we can delay his two fouls in the first half." Self said. Up and Down Night for Giddens — For those who saw J.R.

The Jayhawks defeated the Tigers 65-56 at Allen Fieldhouse. As Aaron Miles stepped to the free throw line toward the end of yesterday's game against Missouri, J.R. Giddens whispered some encouragement. "Now show them why you're the best PG in the clutch," the freshman forward said. Miles, junior point guard, did just that, going 4-for-4 from the line down the stretch to seal a 65-56 victory over Missouri for No.20 Kansas. The junior tandem of Aaron Miles and Wayne Simien, who have both struggled from the line lately, were a combined 8-for-8 late in the game. "If we miss a free throw, who's telling, we might still be playing out there right now," Miles said. "It was real big for us to step out there with confidence and knock them down." In the first half, Missouri was unfazed by a noisy, packed Allen Fieldhouse. The two teams weren't separated by more than four points before halftime. Missouri's responded immediately to any of Kansas' spurts. For every J.R. Giddens three-point shot or Keith Langford layup, the Tigers were able to answer by playing physically around the basket. Senior big men Arthur Johnson and Travon Bryant, who have traditionally struggled in Allen Fieldhouse, accounted for 14 points and 13 rebounds as Missouri trailed 29-27 at the half. Though ahead, Kansas struggled during the first half with a 9 to 8 assist-to-turnover ratio. Anyone who saw last Saturday's second half debacle in Ames, Iowa, had to be scared as Kansas exited the locker room from halftime. Kansas was dominated on the boards Saturday and allowed the Cyclones 47 points in a seven-point loss. Yesterdav was a different story. Junior forward Wayne Simien was the driving force in the Jayhawks' second half push, scoring 16 of his game-high 18 points in the second half. The crowd at the Fieldhouse collectively held its breath when Aaron Miles tweaked his left ankle 46 seconds into the second half. Kansas' floor leader returned and helped guide Point guard Miles key in taming Tigers SEE FIELDHOUSE ON PAGE 7A By Mike Norris mnorris@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Aaron Miles stepped up his play during crunch time last night as the Jayhawks defeated Missouri 65-56. Jayhawk fans were nervous about another crunch — the junior point guard's ankle — when Miles landed awkwardly after making a layup to start the second half. Miles immediately hobbled off the court and through the tunnel, causing Jayhawk fans to wonder if the Big 12 Conference leader in assists would return. "I'm not coming out for nothing.' Miles said when asked if he thought he was done for the game. Junior guard Michael Lee entered for Miles, who returned after a timeout at the 15:43 mark. In the four minutes Miles was gone, the Jayhawks 31-27 lead, turned into a 38-38 tie. "Aaron's the heart and soul of this team," junior forward Wayne Simien said. "It was a little down to see him go out, but he came back and picked us up right back where he left off." Just two-and-a-half minutes after Miles re-entered the game, he lobbed an "Aaron's the heart and soul of this team." Wayne Simien Kansas junior forward arney-oop pass from behind the three point arc to J. R. Giddens, who slammed it home. It tied the game at 42, and caused the sold-out crowd to rise to its feet. "Our crowd loves dunks," Giddens said. "That's what we're known for." Simien underneath for a dunk and a two-point lead. Just four minutes later he assisted junior Keith Langford for an alley-oop layup, and a six-point lead. On the next possession Miles fed "I just put it up there and let them go get it," Miles said. "They're the athletes." But Miles wasn't done. He threw his third and final alley-oop pass to Simien with three-and-a-half minutes left to give the Jayhawks their biggest lead to that point at 61-54. "Each one of them was big," Miles said of the alley-oops. "It got the crowd SEE MILES ON PAGE 7A Feisty fans taunt Missouri, keep Border War waging 11 Missouri's Travon Bryant shot a free throw during second half action. Monday night's game was sold out, prompting scalpers to sell tickets at high prices. Jared Soaros/Kensai By Samia Khan skhan@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Within 15 minutes of the doors' opening at last night's game against Missouri, the entire student section was filled with painted, primed and proud Kansas fans. Spectators in Allen Fieldhouse will rarely encounter a shortage of emotions or creativity in a Border War game. If you're looking for an example, find the anonymous fan who started passing out "Quin Dollar: Good for Really Bad Players." "Oh, it's gonna get rowdy in here. I guarantee it," said Chris Ortega, event staff usher. Ortega, who has been an usher for 14 years, said there was nothing quite like the intensity of a Missouri game. Fans saw the first signs of a ruckless less than an hour before the game, but no Missouri fans were harmed; it was the event staff who bore the brunt of student passions. A Kansas student dressed in tiger attire held up a sign that read "I Eat Poop." Event stemmed the sign inappropriate and took it away. Ushers confiscated another sign several minutes later, receiving the chant of "You eat poop" from the student section as they exited. Brett Mathews, Olathe freshman, was the student conspicuously dressed as the tiger. "I was pissed they took my sign," he said. "A kind fan pulled it out of the trash for me, so at least I still have it." Undeterred by the event staff and security, Mathews crafted another impromptu sign that read "I'm just a pussy." He decided to comply with the ushers when they told him he would be kicked out if he continued. Perhaps as a sign of reconciliation, fans nearby began passing around a sign that said "I love Event Staff." Most of the fan spirit was reserved for game purposes or directed at the Tigers.

SenEx decided yesterday at its weekly meeting to charge Student Senate with the research and creation of a University-wide honor code. The code would address specific policies on academic integrity such as plagiarism and other forms of cheating. Lloyd Sponholtz, president of "We need to engage in University-wide dialogue. We will see if this is something we want and what it should look like." Andy Knopp Student body president University Council, said a good honor code would include student input. "Support will be more readily forthcoming." Sponholtz said, "if students have a say in the formation." Feb. 12 meeting of University Council. Now Student Senate can set its own timeline. The University currently has a statement on academic integrity, but the Academic Policy and Procedures Committee wanted to raise the consciousness of students. Ray Davis, SenEx chairman, said schools in the University of California system and the University of Virginia were similarly sized schools with university-wide honor codes. SenEx considered creating its own task force for the honor code but decided Senate would be a better foundation. "It has to be a part of the culture," said Susan Twombly, professor in the School of Education. With the SenEx decision, Student Senate will now be given time to research and prepare a proposal. Andy Knopp, student body president, said he was familiar with the honor code employed by the School of Business. Knopp said the honor code was not something that was ignored in the school. "My impression is that business students take pride in it," Knopp said. The School of Business, School of Law and School of Medicine have individual school-wide honor codes, according to www.ku.edu. For the proper effect, the honor code is going to have to go through broad discussion in the student body, said Jeff Dunlap, Leawood junior and student member of SenEx. Knopp said the next step would be to involve as many people as possible on the ground level. "We need to engage in University-wide dialogue," Knopp said. "We will see if this is something we want and what it should look like."

Spellmeier nspellmeier@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Students Classes no excuse to miss duty in Douglas County Students can opt out of jury duty, especially if they are called home for it. Maggie Iacobazzi has been called to serve in her home county twice since she has been at the University of Kansas. Class and jury duty — for most students, neither have much appeal. With the correct paperwork, students can be exempt from both. Her first experience occurred sophomore year. The Arlington Heights, Ill., senior was home for a break, so she went to the courthouse in person. "I went in and told them I was a student, and before I could even finish my sentence, the lady said 'go home,' Iacobazzi said. "They didn't even ask where I went to school or when I was done." Because she could not go home, she mailed a note to the court explaining she was a student in Kansas, along with a copy of her KUID and spring schedule. More recently, Iacobazzi said her parents received another summons for her to appear. This also excused her from serving. But failure to notify the court has repercussions, as Iacobazzi's roommate, jeff Brandsted, discovered. The Topeka senior said he filled out his questionnaire and requested to be excused because he was a student. He left for an internship during break and forgot about it. Brandsted, a photographer for The University Daily Kansan, was called up for jury duty before winter break. It said that he was supposed to have reported for duty the day before. He said he tried to see someone at the courthouse about it, but no one was there. Upon returning home, he found a letter stating his request to be excused had been denied, but he could apply for a deferral. When Brandsted returned, he found a copy he had kept of the original summons. He eventually did get it worked out, but not before the court had sent a letter citing he could be held in contempt of the court and fined $100. He said because he had a legitimate excuse he was able to avoid being fined, but would be called to serve again in mid-May. Brandsted said he attempted to contact the jury coordinator to explain the situation. Potential jurors are chosen from two sources: drivers licenses and voter registration, said Douglas County jury coordinator Karen, who chooses to withhold her last name. Class alone is not an excuse, Karen said. The courts and the University have an agreement so that students may be excused from class to fulfill their civic duties. According to the student handbook, if Douglas County jury duty puts the student in academic jeopardy, the student may be excused. Karen said she tried to work with students who had a conflict, either to excuse them or move their duty to a summer, winter or spring break. If a student does serve, they cannot be forced to do so again for 24 months in Douglas County, unless they want to, she said. A student may defer, but that only postpones the summons for six months. Just as students use class to miss jury duty, jury duty can be an excuse to miss class. If students do serve and are involved in a time-consuming trial, they may also withdrawal from class without penalty. In this case, a full tuition reimbursement will also be issued. According to the University's policy, students who choose to serve must show written proof that they have been summoned. The students' instructors or dean, depending on the length of the jury duty, will then determine how to handle missed work. And as for Brandsted, he plans on serving next time he is summoned. Edited by Danielle Hillix By Rupal Gor rgor@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Search for new deans continues The search for deans continues in the Schools of Journalism and Pharmacy, as committees decide who will replace current deans. In the School of Pharmacy, three finalists are visiting campus this month to meet with students and faculty, said Jeff Aubé, head of the pharmacy dean search. He said the first finalist would come to the University next week. Jack E. Fincham, dean of pharmacy, will leave after this academic year after 10 years at the position but will continue teaching and researching at the University. "Having a strong dean with energy and vision is important." Aubé said. Susanne Shaw, head of the journalism dean search committee, said the committee was still in the process of deciding on a new dean. With classes under way and William Allen White day, an annual award ceremony for excellence in journalism at the University of Kansas, coming up on Feb.13, Shaw said the group would decide on a new dean sometime this month. L. A. Mitscher, professor in medicinal chemistry, said the next dean should have an exciting vision for the future and respect for traditions of the past. Fincham has those characteristics, Mitscher said, and the school was fortunate to have a good succession of deans. He said he hoped that tradition would continue. Aubé said a dean was important to the school because of the position's influence on academics, curriculum, finances and fundraising. The dean represents the University for the public and alumni, he said. Aubé said understanding research and training of graduate students who would become pharmacists was key. Shaw said leadership was an important quality in a journalism dean. "Being a dean is rather like being the president of Yugoslavia," Mitscher said. "That's a tall order." "We need someone with the ability to be a successful fundraiser because we need to raise money," said Shaw, who also is a professor of journalism. James K. Gentry, dean of journalism, has served as dean for seven years but will leave the position at the end of this academic year. Gentry plans to continue teaching at the University. Gentry's replacement should embrace other people's ideas, said Carol Holstead, associate professor of journalism. She said a dean should not be afraid of change. The task of being a dean was challenging. Holstead said. "Anytime you lead an academic program, it's like herding cats." Holst said. Holstead said in the past five or six years, the school has gone through changes. She said the school was adjusting to a new curriculum and expanding into new areas of journalism. The school needs someone, Holstead said, who will handle the transitional period within the school and who will strive for excellence. Edited by Henry C.

The project, "Violence and Victimization: Women's Histories of Survival," is one of six projects chosen from across the country for funding. wednesday, february 4, 2004 "We think it's one of a kind," said Margaret Severson, associate professor of social welfare. "We are anxious to get on with it, and we've got great response and support from our community partners and the Department of Corrections." Severson and Judy Postnus, assistant professor of social welfare, will lead the project. Severson said that they were making final changes to the survey which they will use to interview approximately 500 women. They will begin interviewing the women in March and will look at why some female survivors of violence become incarcerated while others do not. During a period of two years, researchers will also explore help-seeking patterns and processes. Researchers want to use their findings to help service providers, advocates and policy makers to create programs that will build on women's strengths.

The Wichita sophomore had spent her first year of college in Malibu, Calif., as a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority at a campus with only 3,000 undergraduate students. When she moved to KU's much larger campus, Hardman said the prospect of a sea of unfamiliar faces on campus was intimidating. Photo by Gil Macera "When you're walking on campus at Pepperdine, you've at least seen the person walking next to you." Hardman said. "I was afraid I wouldn't have that at all here." It was the opportunity to live in her sorority house, yet another change from life at her west coast school, she said, that made the campus seem less overwhelming. Hardman said none of the sororities or fraternities at Pepperdine have houses because of a Malibu law that prohibits more than six unrelated people of the same sex from living together. For Hardman, being able to live in the house has been her favorite part of transferring. Lindsav Gold/Kansan photo "I feel like I've gotten to know the girls a lot faster because I'm around them so often, which I love," she said. Every semester students transfer into the greek community at KU, and the immediate connections they form there often ease their transition. Although chapters are different at every university, coming into a fraternity or sorority can make the task of starting over in a new place seem less daunting. Sophomores Parul Gor, Olathe; Sally Hardman, Andover; and Lindsay McCracken, Overland Park; comment on a dress worn by a candidate on the television show Top Model/last night in their room in the Delta Delta Delta sorority house. Hardman, who transferred from Pepperdine University to be closer to her family, said that she is happy at the University of Kansas and her sorority house. "The girls are all really laid back and totally easy to talk to and very accepting," she said. "The automatic similarity that you share with someone allows you to get to know people easier," Christina Strubbe, Leawood sophomore, said. Strubbe, a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, transferred from Kansas State University last fall. As vice president of Educational Programs and Scholarships for the Panhellenic Executive Board, Strubbe said because each member of the board was from a different house, she also gets the opportunity to know a variety of Greek women. over of the greek community, whereas in Manhattan she felt like she had to be in a sorority to feel included. "I didn't rush here, so I might have been a Kappa, but I might have been something else," Strubbe said. "Being on Panhelenic makes me feel like I'm a part of all the houses." Strubbe said she also feels like there are more social opportunities in Lawrence regardless of whether someone is a mem- "Lawrence just has a lot more going on," Strubbe said. "It's more open to diversity, and when you go out, you interact with people who aren't just greets." but not every aspect of greek life at KU is a positive change for transfer students. Stuart Ashley, Olathe junior, transferred from the University of Southern California, where he said the university was more accepting of greeks. "There's a little bit of hatred here, I feel, towards greeks," Ashley said, "which is the polar opposite from S.C." Ashley said fraternity life at KU was more of a lifestyle choice that requires a higher level of commitment, from the pledging process to the number of actives who live in the house. "Out there it was more of a social club that put a fraternity name on it," Ashley said. "Here, it's more of a traditional fraternity." Laura Cripple, assistant coordinator for Fraternity and Sorority Life, said one of the most unique aspects of greek life at the University was that it had a strong sense of tradition. "If you don't come from a school that's so traditions oriented, that can be something to adjust to, but a lot of people really detain that, appealing. "Cried said, "Yes." When Morgan Smith decided not to join KU's Chi Omega chapter upon transferring from Emporia State in spring 2003, it wasn't because she wasn't accustomed to a sorority rich in tradition. "I didn't affiliate only for the sheer fact that they weren't my sisters from Emporia. They're my sisters nationwide, but I just wouldn't have felt like it was the same," the Paola senior said. Despite these differences, Ashley said being a member of the greek community propelled his involvement in the University. "Moving into a house that I liked was kind of like instant connections, as opposed to coming in as a junior and feeling like you're completely starting over," Ashley said. "So it was definitely a good thing." - Edited by Paul Kramer Benefit concert second part of funding for Hawk House By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Habitat for Humanity will use proceeds from a victorious aluminum can collection competition last fall and a concert tomorrow night at Abe and Jake's Landing to build a home for a Lawrence family. The University of Kansas chapter of Habitat for Humanity will team with the Lawrenceee chapter to start construction on The Hawk House this fall. "We're really excited, this is really one of the biggest fund-raising projects they've done," said Linda Klinker, program director for the Lawrence chapter of Habitat of Humanity. The Hawk House will be built for a Lawrence family that will be selected after construction is completed. The house will cost approximately $55,000. The University's chapter won the competition and a $5,000 grant for defeating the Kansas State University chapter in the can collecting competition. The University's chapter will continue to pick up cans to raise money until the $55,000 goal is reached. Klinker said she expected a lot of donations for the construction of The Hawk House. The University chapter already received, also by donation, the land for construction at 25th and Harper streets. The University's chapter is putting together tomorrow night's concert. Katey Birge, Habitat for Humanity member and Denver sophomore, said the concert was expected to make a significant contribution to the overall fund. The organization must still continue to raise funds with activities such as car washes and business donations. "We're excited for this house. It will be KU Habitat For Humanity's first house," Klinker said. Habitat for Humanity will hold a public meeting in March to select the family for The Hawk House. The process for determining the family mandates that the family be able to afford $430 mortgage payments, and they must also have previous residence in Douglas County. Tomorrow evening's concert will take place at 7 p.m. at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St. The bands playing at the concert are The Billros, The Missing Trio, The Unit, The Mark Lyda Combo and 2 Ta Tango. Tickets are $5 and available at the door. — Edited by Paul Kramer BE A PART OF IT. JOIN THE MOVEMENT TO END EDUCATIONAL INEQUITY.

We support the good effort — the solid basis of recognizing women's achievements — but we also have some constructive criticisms. The main goal of the poster was to highlight women's achievements on campus so that other women can see that their goals are attainable. Although women on campus have progressed in their equality, our campus reflecting the workforce "is not an even playing field for women yet," said Kathy Rose- OURVIEW The KU Women of Distinction calendar is needed on our campus. But the nomination process and calendar lay-out can be improved. Mockry, the director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. This is a good effort in a short amount of time. But next time, we suggest including more students. We would like to know how to nominate students. We also suggest better accessibility to the poster. There have been a number of events where the poster has been given out, such as the women's basketball game last Saturday; the only problem was that not many students knew about it. We suggest better advertisement of distribution. Also, the calendar, in poster-form, is a bit difficult to hang on the wall. Next time, a calendar, even if it must be black-and-white, would be better in calendar form. We support the idea behind the Women of Distinction Calendar, and support the sustainability of such an idea. Next time, with more time, we are sure it can be better. STUDENT SENATE JUST REJECTED THE KU MEN OF DISTINCTION CALENDAR. WOMEN OF KU SMTWTFS KU WOMEN OF DISTINCTION SMTWTFS CENSOR KANSAS Amarchists BECAUSE I WAS JUST THINKING WE COULD USE ONE MORE CALENDAR. Jennifer Wade for The University Daily Kansan ON STUDENT SENATE Senate listserv full of ASININE behavior Students, I hereby announce the formation of ASININE. As-i-nine, an adjective, according to the Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, meaning actions "marked by inexcusable failure to exercise intelligence or sound judgment." Well, for the purposes of my organization, ASININE is going to stand for "Agitated Senators In Need of Incredibly Nonproductive Endeavors." This organization is open to all, but especially to those who promote non-productivity and the angry little people who love to rub-off feeble e-mail tantrums in protest of the nonproductive. COMMENTARY The patron saint of ASININE will be Muneer Ahmad, law school senator. Future generations of ASININE members will read tales about Ahmad and his Men of Distinction calendar. Led by our hero James Owen, law school student senator, ASININE members to come will hear about his $5000 vendetta that all started with a calendar celebrating distinguished women at the University of Kansas. How dare they! Bless these men for their bravery and for providing the impetus for angry little people to write angry little e-mails to the Student Senate list servers, thus making mine and hundreds of other students' and staff members' in-boxes angry little places. The history of the Senate is chock-full of the agitated and the nonproductive. ASININE, then, will be a worship and development center promoting inefficiency and pure unadulterated e-mail rage. Our first project will be a calendar titled "The Angry Little Persons of Distinction Calendar." It will be stylish but cheap; printed on industrial-style toilet paper. If this all seems ridiculous, don't worry, it is. These little displays of misplaced adolescent aggravation are relatively common in Senate, but also in any political organization. Jeff Allmon opinion@kansan.com If, on the other hand, you think this is the only thing that Senate does, you'd be mistaken. Senate provides a great many valuable services to the student body. Additionally, it is your primary outlet for campus democracy and activism. In this respect, it ought not to be toyed with. Two points must be made: First, to the students opposed to the Women of Distinction calendar last semester, your opposition is something you are very much entitled to. You are not entitled, however, to mark your opposition with a $5000 exercise in childish behavior, thus making a complete mockery of campus democracy and the students you represent. This whole debacle should have had about the same political import as hairballs are to cats: ugly, short-lived and maybe just a little funny. Instead, it has become a $5000 slap in the face to all students who pay their campus fees. Far worse, however, is the damage these actions do to the meager 18 percent of the KU students who actually vote in campus elections. If the other 82 percent of students think that campus democracy is a joke, then this week they were vindicated in their assumptions. As far as debate on this issue was concerned, ASININE is now overflowing with members. The electronic discussion has thus far been essentially trivial, with only a few mildly clever slams. It would be a stretch to call this debate intelligent. Secondly, there is a certain amount of truth to the claim that when something is not discussed, talked about or otherwise given attention, it goes away. So for senators, forget about the Men of Distinction Calendar. In the future, when asininity raises its ugly head again, as it most inevitably will, ignore that too. Get back to, or just begin for that matter, representing your constituents and serving the student body you were elected to represent. Mulling over this calendar and wasting time writing bitter e-mails about its lack of merit is not what you were elected to do. And when you accomplish tasks meaningful for students, for God's sake, tell somebody about it. Asinine, I would like to finally note, also means "relating to, or resembling an ass." I hope senators will, in the future, represent more than just an ass; you were elected to represent students. Allmon is a Wichita graduate student in philosophy Cl Student Senate matter Selected comments for the last week from the Student Senate Listserv Last Wednesday, the Student Senate University Affairs Committee failed a bill to allocate $5000 to the Muneer Ahmad Appreciation Society to create a Men of Distinction calendar. After this, the senate listserv, a public forum for discussion, erupted with e-mail. These are a few e-mail excerpts: "If you as a group choose to fund a calendar for women, it is patently wrong and unfair to deny the men to have an equal sort of calendar based on society's bias against women and the lack of funding secured. . We do not need validation from the likes of you." Muneer Ahmad, Munsee Ahmad Appreciation Society president and founder, defending the Men of Distinction calendar. funding. You want a cookie? This was nothing more than a smug exercise in the masturbation of Senate Rules and Regs." Brian Thomas, University Affairs Committee Member, referring to the steps taken by MAAS to become a registered group and secure funding for their calendar. "As the founder and president of MAAS, I resent my organization's good name being sultied by a group of individuals who only choose to talk of equality and fairness when it serves their purpose." Ahmad "Congrats. You registered a group and followed the weak guidelines we have for "I'm excited that KU was the first state university in the country to allow female students to study any subject offered in the curriculum. That doesn't mean we have equality yet. Thus, we might be well served to spend 5k for them, but not for the men."

Anti-war protesters not violent, wrong portrayal The article "Protesters question Moore" that ran Feb. 2, paints a somewhat negative picture of this weekend's anti-war marchers, depicting them as disrespectful and rowdy. The display at the Lawrence Public Library did not deviate too much from the article's brief summary. The anti-war sentiment of Saturday's protest was riddled with anger and frustration, and rightly so. More U.S. soldiers have died since the war "ended," than during actual combat, and many, many more Iraqis have perished as a result of this fabricated war. However, the purpose of a war protest/peace march is simple: to promote peace. Many of the activists representing the group acted through their anger and rage, creating a more hostile environment between U.S. Rep. Moore and his anti-war constituents. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Peace cannot be fought for with anger. Should that person in the SUV have nearly run over the protesters in the intersection? Should that man have flipped off the crowd as they walked down Massachusetts Street? Of course not, but both of those acts were manifested through fear and anger, and can not be combated by the same in order to make any change of sentiment. Peaceful means are the only way to end with peace. This is the exact message that we anti-war activists are trying to instill in American culture. The only way to cultivate this message is to first create peace in the individual; only through peace of mind in the individual and compassion for all human beings, even those we disagree with, can world peace be developed.

Now crew members of Monarch Watch, a KU-based monarch conservation program, are heading to Mexico to meet the butterflies. Monarch watch tracks the international migration by marking the butterflies with small, numbered sticker-like tags placed on the wing. When the butterflies reach Mexico, they land by the millions in forests called over-wintering sites, where they will spend the winter months. "It's hard to imagine unless you've seen it, 25 million butterflies per acre with tree limbs breaking from the weight of the butterflies," said Chip Taylor, founder of Monarch Watch and a professor of biological sciences. "To be there when tens of thousands of butterflies lift off from a breeze, you can just hear this rush of wings." A three-person crew, headed by Taylor, is preparing to travel Feb. 25 to Mexico to study the butterflies in the over-wintering sites. They'll also spend the part of the trip in a cantina, buying the tags back from Mexican villagers who collect the tags from the butterflies. Each tag earns the collector 50 pesos, about $5, or about a third of a villager's day wages. Once the tags are back in the hands of the Monarch Watch crew, the team will enter them in a database to figure out where the butterflies came from, and how successfully made the trip. Taylor said finding the tags is not an easy task. About 100,000 butterflies are tagged each year, but the odds of finding one such tagged butterfly is about one in 25,000. "People search one, two, three hours for each tag they find," he said. "Finding these tags is like finding a gold coin to them." The crew first went to Mexico to buy tags in 1993 and has made the journey every year for the past six years. In 2002, following a severe storm that killed at least 75 percent of the monarch population, the group paid a total of $12,000 to the villagers — the largest source of outside income for many of the tag collectors. Monarch Watch, founded in 1992, began as a research program to study monarch migratory patterns. Now the program's goals include not only conservation of monarchs but also science education for elementary schools. The researchers continue to study how the butterflies interact with the environment during their migration and life cycle. Taylor said he felt good about boosting the local economy. "Not only does it put money in their pockets, but they see that other people value the butterflies." he said. The mystery lies in how the butterflies can navigate across an entire continent, and what environmental clues such as weather trigger the start of the migration. "It's one of nature's really spectacular shows," he said. "It would be foolish to let this thing disappear." The migration is an amazing feat, Taylor said, especially for a butterfly weighing half a gram with a few hundred neurons for a brain. Randy Schumacher, Topeka senior and Monarch Watch employee, said the international flight of the monarchs is an important link between Canada, the United States and Mexico. "It's important to all the different people in North America," he said. "It's something we all have in common." The money needed to run the program, including buying back the tags, comes from memberships in the Monarch Watch program, the sale of promotional items and donations. Amazon to charge state sales tax —Edited by Stephanie Lovett TOPEKA — Online retailer Amazon.com will begin complying with changes in the state's sales tax law beginning April 1, company officials told legislators yesterday. The Associated Press Rich Prem, the company's head tax official, said Seattle-based Amazon.com has been working with Kansas to conform with the state's new destination-based sales tax law since July, when it took effect. Amazon.com operates an automated distribution center in Coffeyville, employing 375 people. Prem said Amazon.com is joining retailers Toys "R" Us, Babies "R"Us and Target, which already remit sales tax from Internet and other offsite sales to the state. Prem estimated that Amazon.com will collect between $1 million and $1.2 million a year in sales taxes from Kansans purchasing products distributed through the Coffeyville site. Kansans currently are required to pay a use tax to the state for purchases made out of state, over the Internet or from catalogs, if the retailer doesn't do so. "Presumably, some customers are self-assessing and remitting that tax," Prem said, drawing chuckles from legislators. The new sales tax law requires merchants to collect sales taxes at the rate imposed where they deliver their goods. For decades, merchants have collected the tax at the rate in effect where their businesses are located. The state imposes a 5.3 percent sales tax, but cities and counties can add their own local taxes, which can raise the total rate paid by consumers to 7.8 percent. Because Kansas has 751 taxing jurisdictions, rates can vary within a county. Kansas is part of a consortium of states moving toward streamlined sales tax collection, with a goal of collecting taxes on Internet and catalog sales. Prem said many states are looking to Kansas for guidance in implementing the changes, including Washington and Ohio. "We're all for simplification," he said. "We are just asking for one rule for our programmers." Revenue Secretary Joan Wagnon said the state continues to exercise relaxed enforcement of the new law. Wagnon said the agency has been developing software and other support materials to help businesses comply with the changes. A series of statewide workshops begin next Wagnon said while progress was being made to address concerns, businesses must be willing to make changes and work with the state. "Our philosophy is to help them," she told legislators. "There's a point where I can't keep relaxing this forever." However, legislators have introduced several bills in response to concerns from retailers, including one that would place a moratorium on complying with the changes until July 1. Other bills would provide tax credits for investments in new computers or cash registers necessary to compute the tax rates. House Taxation Committee Chairman John Edmonds (R-Great Bend) said the committee is likely to begin reviewing many of the proposals later this month.

They also called for a nationwide counseling and support line for smokers trying to quit, an idea that immediately was put into practice by Health and Human Services Secretary, Tommy Thompson. Thompson said more than $25 million would be dedicated for the toll-free, national "quitline" that will be established by year's end. States also would receive additional funding to either supplement or create their own quitline services. "The benefit of this network is that it provides a single access The 10-point plan endorsed by the former surgeons general and other health advocates seeks additional tobacco research, better doctor training and an extensive media campaign explaining the dangers of smoking. point for smokers so that every smoker can get the tools that he or she needs to stop smoking," Thompson said. It also urges that the cigarette excise tax be raised from the current 39 cents to $2.39, of which 50 percent of the proceeds — or $14 billion — would go toward paying for the various aspects of the plan. The 10-point plan also calls for federal officials to: Encourage insurers to provide health coverage for smoking cessation treatment, such as counseling and drugs. Initiate community-based programs in schools, workplaces and faith-based organizations to combat smoking. Establish a uniform standard of tobacco dependence treatment among health care providers. About 50 million Americans smoke, with many of them concentrated in poor neighborhoods where treatment is not widely available. Health officials have estimated that smoking causes about 440,000 premature deaths per year and costs the nation $75 billion in direct health care expenses. "It is the equivalent of another 9-11 World Trade Center, Pentagon and Pennsylvania disaster occurring about every two days," said Julius Richmond, the nation's top public health official under President Carter from 1977 to 1981. About three out of four smokers seek to quit, but fewer than five percent who quit for a day are able to sustain that for longer periods. "If we act now, we can prevent tomorrow's cancer, emphysema and health disease," said David Satcher, who served as surgeon general under Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush from 1998-2002. Jennifer Golisch, a spokeswoman for tobacco giant Philip Morris USA Inc., said that while the company supports government efforts to educate the public about smoking, a $2-per-pack excise tax could promote tax evasion. "We are opposed to the proposed federal excise tax increases because cigarette excise taxes could have unintended consequences," she said. "For example, smokers may purchase from the Internet and Native American territories." Deadly poison found; Senate halts business The Associated Press WASHINGTON — A white powder found in the Senate Majority Leader's office tested yesterday as an "active" form of the deadly poison ricin, forcing cancellation of most Senate business in the second such scare from a lethal toxin to hit the capital. Officials have found no evidence that anyone was significantly exposed to the poison enough "to make them sick, said John Eisold, Capitol physician. Frist said that tests confirmed that the powder was ricin: "It is active, how active we don't know." He said he was confident that everyone who was at risk has been identified. Terrance Gainer, U.S. Capitol police chief, said everything that was in the 4th floor mailroom in the Dirksen Senate Office Building office had been seized, but that authorities have not yet analyzed all of the mail. "It is a terrorist act," said Sessions, "because it was designed to terrorize people." U. S. Sen. Jeffrey Sessions (R-Ala), a former federal prosecutor and state attorney general, said, "I don't think we need to overreact. We need to get these buildings open as soon as possible. Don't drag this thing out." Suicide bombs kill 101 images caught on tape The Associated Press IRBIL, Iraq — A video camera captured images of a man shaking hands with a Kurdish official seconds before blowing himself up in one of the two suicide bombings during holiday celebrations. The death toll soared to 101, the U.S.-led coalition said yesterday. Kurds blamed Ansar al-Islam, a militant group allegedly linked to al-Qaida, for the weekend attacks. The video shows the suicide bomber mingling with hundreds of well-wishers greeting officials of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, or PUK, on Sunday, the first Kimmitt also said there were an average of 23 engagements a day between U.S. soldiers and Iraqi insurgents over the past week, compared with 18 the week before. The PUK video shows only the back of the bomber's head as he joined the line. U.

Liquor debate moves to Senate The Associated Press TOPEKA — Legislation permitting local decisions on Sunday liquor sales and sharply raising the state's tax on alcohol cleared a committee yesterday and headed to the full Senate for debate. The increase in the gallonage tax would raise an estimated $11 million a year, senators said. The Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee endorsed the heavily amended bill after rejecting a larger tax proposal and an attempt to allow liquor sales on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. Day and Labor Other sections of the bill would allow cities to pass liquor ordinances more restrictive than the state's laws and would require a quarterly compliance check of businesses that sell alcohol. In addition, the bill clarifies that the state's liquor control act applies uniformly throughout Kansas, forbidding local governments from exempting themselves from parts of it and creating their own alcohol statutes. Several cities — mostly along the border with Missouri, where Sunday sales are legal — have passed Sunday sales ordinances in the 16 months since a Wyandotte County district judge ruled that the liquor law act was not uniform. The state's appeal of that ruling is before the Kansas Supreme Court. Under the bill endorsed yesterday, local governments would decide whether they wanted Sunday sales. But voters could have their say if at least 10 percent of those who voted in the previous general election signed a petition opposing Sunday sales. The tax increases, proposed by Sen. John Vratil, would raise the tax on beer to 30 cents a gallon from 18 cents; on fortified wine, to $1.50 from 75 cents a gallon; on light wine, to 60 cents from 30 cents a gallon; and on alcohol and spirits, to $4 a gallon from $2.50. For a six-pack of beer, the increase would be about 7 cents. increase would be so low "Gallonage taxes have not been increased in 27 years," Vratil (R-Leawood) told the committee. "These increases would put us in the middle of the four surrounding states." Vratil said the increase on beer would raise $6.7 million, and the increase on alcohol and spirits would bring in an additional $3.6 million. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius said she had not seen the details of Vratil's tax increase yesterday afternoon but was not surprised the hike was tied to Sunday sales "I think there was some theory at least that was talked about last year where if there are going to be additional sales days, the trade-off should be that we raised a little more money." Sebelius said. The committee rejected an amendment by Sen. Jim Barnett (E- Emporia) to raise alcohol taxes by even greater amounts — $56 million in the first year and a total $301 million through five years. He suggested raising the 18-cent beer tax to 98 cents per gallon, or about 50 cents on a six-pack. CLASSIC MOVE. At Curves, resolutions are a group effort.

The Jackpot Saloon and Music Hall and the Sonic Temple have raised the question about whether Lawrence can be transported back to the music Mecca it was in the early 1990s. Mark Silver, Leawood senior said he thought people were no as interested in local live music anymore. The establishment will look like an upscale, turn-of-the-century saloon and will be a medium-sized venue to house smaller national and local acts, Carroll said. The "There are a lot of venues that have gone in and failed," Silver said. "It's like a Bermuda Triangle down there." But the two local business groups opening the new venues want to change that. Nick Carroll is the owner of the Jackpot Saloon, 943 Massachusetts St., and the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., across the street. He hopes the Jackpot Saloon will open its doors March 1, he said. Initially, the projected opening date for the bar was Feb. 1, but Carroll said that changes to the building were taking longer than expected. Jackpot will feature smaller bands than places like the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., and Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St. "We want bands that are under the radar," Carroll said. "For what we're doing, there's a niche, and for what they're doing there's a niche." Carroll said the Replay Lounge fit a different niche and would remain the same. The image is too blurry to recognize any text. It appears to be a night scene with dim lights, possibly from buildings or streetlights. The focus is not clear due to the low lighting conditions. "We don't want to make two Replays," Carroll said. "That's not the point." The point, Carroll said, was to bring the interest for local music back to the area. Jerry Johnson, one of three partners opening the Sonic Temple, shared the same feeling. After closing its doors last fall, La Tasca, 943 Massachusetts St., is again changing hands, its replacement, Jackpot Salloon and Music Hall, is set to open March 1. "What we're going to do is bolster this renewed love for music in downtown Lawrence," Johnson said. Sonic Temple, which will replace the Masonic Temple, 1001 Massachusetts St., will be similar but smaller than Liberty Hall, offering a more intimate atmosphere, Johnson said. The establishment will be broken into two parts. One part will be an upstairs, auditorium-style area to host wedding receptions and theater productions in addition to live music, and the other will be a downstairs restaurant and bar. Johnson said the historic Masonic Temple had not been open to the public for more than 90 years and that he hoped the Sonic Temple would be open by this summer. Jason Jouret, Columbia, Mo., senior, said he thought Lawrence had a great history of live music and that publicity would make the difference for the new establishments. "The audience is definitely here to make it work," jouret said. — Edited by Stephanie Lovett Restaurant denied license for alcohol By Laura Pate lpate@kansan.com Kansan staff writer PepperJax Grill will follow through with its plans to open in a couple of weeks. But the new restaurant will no longer follow through with its plans to sell cereal malt beverages. PepperJax, 947 New Hampshire St., cannot serve alcohol because of a city ordinance banning the sale of alcohol within 400 feet of a church or a school. William Faine, district manager of PepperJax, petitioned for a waiver at last night's city council meeting. The city commission declined his petition with a 3-2 vote. David Schauner, city commissioner, said he voted against allowing PepperJax to sell cereal malt beverages out of respect for the ordinance. But, he said that he would still come and eat at the restaurant. PepperJax is a family-oriented restaurant that serves Philly Cheese Steaks, rice bowls and salad wraps among other items. Allowing the restaurant to serve cereal malt beverages would also harm Salvation Army residents, said Rich Forney, pastor of the neighboring Salvation Army Church, 946 New Hampshire St. On any night it was possible to find at least one person staying at the Salvation Army in an effort to avoid drinking, he said. He called the Salvation Army a safe haven for people trying to break addictions to alcohol. Forney said that if PepperJax sold the beverages, his residents could be harmed. "I asked PepperJax if there was a restaurant opened within 100 feet of your church door and you were trying to get people off of beer, would you serve it?" he said. Fain said that did not believe that his restaurant would pose a threat to the Salvation Army. Alcohol sales were not going to be the restaurant's focus, Fain sad. Fain's request was also met with disapproval from Bill Mitchell, Lawrence resident. He said he thought downtown Lawrence had turned into another Aggieville, the bar district located in Manhattan. "I regret the change especially when I have to navigate around yet another vomit spill on my way to breakfast," Mitchell said. Though she voted to give a cereal malt beverage license to PepperJax, Sue Hack, city commissioner, said that she thought the absence of a liquor license would not hurt PepperJax's business. Fain said that his establishment could exist without the sale of alcohol. At his Omaha, Neb., PepperJax restaurant, 1.1 percent of sales in 2003 came from alcohol. Edited by Henry C.

PAGE 4B 1B Wednesday, February 4, 2004 Athletes' intelligence may pay off By Joe Bant jbant@kansan.com kansan staff writer There is no such thing as an NCAA student-athlete with an athletic scholarship and an academic scholarship because the NCAA doesn't allow students to have both. Next year, that all could change. The NCAA is considering a rule change that would allow athletes to stack academic scholarships on top of what they receive for athletics. Although athletes would not be able to receive scholarships exceeding the cost of college attendance, they could compensate for what their athletic scholarships don't cover. To athletes, the rule change is simply about fairness. about fairness. "It's an equality thing," said Maggie Mason, Elmira, Ontario senior and vice-president of the Big 12 Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. "Why are athletes limited to a certain amount of money when students aren't?" Mason, who is a defender on the Jayhawks women's soccer team, said there were plenty of student-athletes at the University of Kansas who would be eligible for academic scholarships, and that passing the proposal would simply allow them the chance to apply. Even full athletic scholarships don't pay the entire cost of attendance, she said, and athletes are often too busy for jobs. The new rule would give qualified athletes a way to relieve their burden, she said. Mason emphasized that athletes were not looking for an unfair advantage. "It's not like they're being handed the money," she said. "They have to earn it like everyone else." Chris Jones, Iowa City junior and member of the leadership committee for the University of Kansas SAAC, agreed. He said a handout was the last thing athletes were looking for and that being eligible for academic scholarships would actually push athletes to work harder in school. Additionally, he said, if academically talented athletes could receive scholarships for their efforts, more money would be available in athletic scholarships for athletes not as academically strong. demonstrate that students Jones, who runs track at the University, said he thought the reason the NCAA had not already passed the proposal was a concern that schools would abuse it. "I think it's the fear of putting people on aid who aren't deserving of it," Jones said. He said it was conceivable that schools could gain an unfair recruiting advantage by using the new rule to award more scholarships to athletes, regardless of their academic merit. He said schools would have to closely guard against that possibility for the rule change to be successful. Phil Lowcock, director of the student- athlete life skills program for the athletics department, said the NCAA's consideration of the proposal indicates a way the organization is changing its perspective. In the last ten years, he said, the NCAA has worked gradually at reducing the restrictions on how athletes can earn money. Even full scholarships often stop a couple thousand dollars short of the cost of attendance, he said, and allowing student-athletes to compensate for that would be a way of improving their lives. "There are students who come in on a full ride scholarship, but don't have enough money to go to a movie," Low-cock said. Lowcock said the NCAA has shown a willingness to address this issue, as long as schools don't use it to gain an unfair advantage. Allowing athletes to receive athletic and academic scholarships, he said, is the latest example of this trend. The Division I SAAC unanimously approved the proposal. The NCAA Management Council and Board of Directors have also tentatively approved it. Mason said the NCAA was in the process of tweaking the plan and would likely pass it for next year. Edited by Joe Hartigan Woodard ready for Texas By Jonathan Kealing jkealing@kansan.com Kansas sportwriter The last week has been a roller coaster for the Kansas women's basketball team. It bottomed out with the loss of coach Marian Washington to a medical leave of absence. Then it cruised to its second Big 12 Conference victory over Oklahoma State, interim coach Lynette Woodard's first game. 1 This week will present several new tests Woodard for the Jayhawks. The first one will be tonight, when Kansas travels to Lubbock, Texas, to take on No. 9 Texas Tech. This will be the second game for Woodard, who is facing challenges of her own. During the Big 12 Women's Basketball Teleconference, she was asked if coaching against teams whose coaches had more than 500 wins and had long tenures intimidated her. "I've had 500 victories too." Woodard said, "but they've come on the other side of the game. I get to flip the script now." Texas Tech (18-3,4-3 Big 12) has been 1-2 during its last three games after the loss of senior guard Jia Perkins, the team's overall leader in points per game and a leader in minutes played. Perkins left the team because of undisclosed medical reasons. Texas Tech coach Marsha Sharp said the team would take time to adjust to the loss of Perkins. KANSAS 13 Sharp, like Washington, has coached at only one school in her career. Sharp has coached at Texas Tech for 22 seasons. She said over the years she had developed a relationship with Kansas' coach. She said Washington's absence on the sideline would be noticeable. Amande Kim Stairrett/Kansan Lynette Woodard, women's interim basketball coach, spoke with Larisha Graves, junior guard, during the game last Saturday against Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks ended the game with a victory of 74-61. "It will be strange to see the team come out into the arena and not see her." Sharp said.

Bv Nikki Overfelt BYNIKKU overfelt@kansan.com Kansan senior sportswriter The atmosphere is intense; the lanes are filled with swimmers pushing themselves to the limit, coaches are yelling out times and teammates are shouting out words of encouragement. Walk into a Kansas swimming team practice on a Wednesday and it feels like a race day. This is a normal Wednesday for Kansas. Clark Campbell, the swim team's coach, designed his Wednesday practices to be like this. His goal is to mentally and physically prepare his swimmers for the Big 12 Conference Championships. The Big 12 Championships are four full days of competition where each swimmer competes in her event twice a day before the finals. Because of the nature of the meet, his team must race well when tired, Campbell said. So his practices are tailored toward the team's goal: a top three finish at the Big 12 Championships. This season is Campbell's second at Kansas. With a record of 8-3, the team has one more victory than last season.

Its hopes were postponed for at least another week. Ray Davis, chairman of the committee, emphasized the need to get the plan right, but said no plan would satisfy everyone. "No matter what we do, there are going to be some questions and some ambiguities that will go into next year," Davis said. The committee progressed, but couldn't decide where ticket holders would sit. The current plan distributes 1,822 total seats to current and retired University faculty and staff. Most are reserved for those who currently hold season tickets. The approximately 200 seats left over will be available for purchase from a lottery in four-game packages for faculty and staff without season tickets. The committee has agreed on those details. What remains murky is who will get the better seats, the current season ticket holders or the lottery-ticket holders. Davis said the Athletics Department reviewed the proposal and suggested that combining lottery seats with regular seats might be too complicated because lottery seats turned over more often. Originally, the committee planned a seating arrangement that would give out priority seats to faculty and staff members based on seniority. It would mix lottery-ticket holders with season ticket holders according to how long they had been with the University. The result was a plan that gave priority seating to current ticket holders on a seniority basis, but that placed lottery-ticket holders behind current ticket holders regardless of their seniority. Some committee members said that would be unfair to those with lottery tickets. "It ites holders of tickets even more of a perk over the lottery people," said Pam Houston, committee member. "Not only are they getting only four tickets, but even if they've been here for 30 years, they're sitting far back." The committee will consider alternatives to the plan and suggest them to the Athletics Department next week. - Edited by Danielle Hillix TALK TO SPORTS: Contact Henry C.

The Associated Press Kentucky earns 5th victory in series The Associated Press GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Erik Daniels scored 22 points and Cliff Hawkins had a crucial steal and scored four points in an 11-0 game-ending run. It gave No. 9 Kentucky a 68-65 victory over No.21 Florida last night. Hawkins' poor free throw shooting kept the outcome in doubt until Florida turned the ball over with 1 second to go. The guard's steal and layup gave the Wildcats (15-3, 5-2 Southeastern Conference) the lead for good in the final minute. Hawkins was just 4-of-11 from the foul line. He made two of his last four to finish Kentucky's comeback from an 11-point deficit in the second half. The victory was Kentucky's fifth straight in a series that has developed into one of the fiercest rivalries in the SEC in recent seasons. Florida (13-6, 4-4) hasn't beaten the Wildcats since March 2001. That's when they claimed a share of the SEC Eastern Division championship. None of the losses were more disappointing than this one. The Gators led 65-57 with just over 6 minutes to go, but didn't score the rest of the way. Anthony Roberson led Florida He missed a layup that would have reclaimed the lead. Then he misfired on a tough 3-pointer that could have given the Gators the lead in the closing seconds. Gerald Fitch scored 10 points and Hawkins finished with nine for Kentucky. Matt Walsh scored 16 points for Florida. The Gators hopes to force overtime with a desperation shot ended when he stepped out of bounds trying to get the ball to midcourt on Florida's final possession. Roberson was the reason, overcoming a slow start to make two 3-pointers that helped the Gators cut into a 10-point deficit. Kentucky faltered down the stretch during a 66-60 loss to Vanderbilt last Saturday. The team looked like they were going to let another game slip away when Christian Drejer hit 3-pointers on consecutive possessions. He finished a finish a 22-6 run for Florida early in the second half. Drejer is Florida's best passer, but his crosscourt throw proved to be the Gators' undoing.

James was not among the 14 reserves announced yesterday for the All-Star game, the talented rookie getting outpolled in voting by Eastern Conference coaches who instead selected guards Paul Pierce, Michael Redd, Baron Davis and Jason Kidd. Davis and justice said, "Not making it just tells me I've got to work harder," said James, one of only four players leaguewide averaging at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists. "I've been earning a lot of things this year — earning the respect of players, the respect of refs. That's another thing I've got to earn, to be a part of the elite group." group: Shaquille O'Neal of the Los Angeles Lakers was among the Western Conference reserves for the league's showcase event Feb. 15 in Los Angeles. Other West reserves are Dirk Nowitzki of Dallas, Pae Shojakovic and Brad Miller of Sacramento, Sam Cassell of Minnesota, Andrei Kirilenko of Utah and Ray Allen of Seattle. The other East reserves are Jamaal Magloire of New Orleans, Ron Artest of Indiana and Kenyon Martin of New Jersey. "Not a bad thing to be on your resume, All-Star in front of your name," said Martin, one of six players who will make their first All-Star appearance. Other players having strong seasons who did not make the All-Stars include Mike Bibby of Sacramento, Latrell Sprewell of Minnesota, Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton of Detroit, Michael Finley of Dallas and Zach Randolph of Portland. The selection of Allen was one of the most surprising after he missed the first 25 games of the season following ankle surgery. "I would rather be in L.A. than any place in the country," said Allen, who had planned a getaway to Las Vegas with teammate Antonio Daniels. "It's a bragging right. ... I totally thought I had no chance." James, the phenomenal 19 year-old rookie whose play has improved throughout the season, seemed to be the most glaring omission in the East even in a conference stocked with talented guards. Redd is averaging 22.1 points for the surprising Milwaukee Bucks. Pierce is the league's sixth-leading scorer (22.9) for Boston, Davis of New Orleans had the league's fifth-highest average (23.2), and Kidd has led New Jersey to first place in the Atlantic Division. "He's been phenomenal for this league and for our sport," Pistons coach Larry Brown said of James. "He's done everything a young kid can do, but I think the fact that his team was down so far early probably hurt him. I don't think it was a backlash. There are just a lot of talented kids at that position." Starters for the league's 53rd All-Star game, selected in fan baloting, are Vince Carter of Toronto, Tracy McGrady of Orlando, Ben Wallace of Detroit, Jermaine O'Neal of Indiana and Allen Iverson of Philadelphia for the East; Yao Ming of Houston, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, Kevin Garnett of Minnesota, Steve Francis of Houston and Tim Duncan of San Antonio for the West. Minnesota's Flip Saunders will coach the West, and Rick Carlisle of the Pacers will coach the East. James is averaging 20.8 points, 5.9 assists and 5.9 rebounds for the Cleveland Cavaliers, whose surge of six victories in eight games has moved them into contention for a playoff spot in the East. They could not vote for their own players. He is 13th in the NBA in scoring and 12th in assists, averaging 24.1 points since Cleveland traded Ricky Davis to Boston in mid-December. James, Pierce, Allen and McGrady are the only players averaging at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists. Coaches had to choose a center, two forwards, two guards and two others regardless of position. "I can't understand the reason he didn't make it," Cleveland coach Paul Silas said. "Maybe it was because of our record. But he certainly put up the numbers comparable to any guard that got picked. "I feel that everything happens for a reason and that this will turn out for the best. He's going to make a lot of All-Star games before he's done, and this will keep him humble," Silas said. keep him there. There will be six All-Stars with international roots — Kirilenko (Russia), Stojakovic (Serbia and Montenegro), Magloire (Canada) Nowitzki (Germany), Yao (China) and Duncan (U.S. Virgin Islands) — which ties the record set a year ago. James will play alongside Carmelo Anthony of Denver in the Rookie Challenge on Friday night against a team of second-year players that includes Yao. "I wasn't part of the ones that they picked at first, so I wouldn't even like to be a part of the team if somebody didn't go," James said. "I'm an only child and I never want to be picked second. I don't come second." NBA commissioner David Stern will select a replacement if any of the All-Stars withdraws because of injury, but James is not interested. 2 23 Courtesy of KRT The Knicks' Keith Van Horn and the Cavs' LeBron James battled each other in the first half of their game in Gund Arena in Cleveland yesterday. k a n s a n . c o m News NOW COLLEGE IS TOUGH.

LUBBOCK, Texas — Bob Knight was reprimanded but not suspended yesterday for his loud public outburst at Texas Tech chancellor David Smith. Tech athletic director Gerald Myers said in a statement that "appropriate personnel action" was taken regarding Monday's verbal spat involving the coach at an upscale grocery store. "I regret that the situation turned out the way it did," Knight said in a four-paragraph news release. "I look forward to finishing this season in a strong fashion and I am glad the situation is behind me so that I can return to the business of coaching." Knight guided the No. 19 Red Raiders over Baylor 83-63 at home last night. As he left the court, the crowd cheered loudly and Knight acknowledged the fans by raising his right hand in appreciation. Before the game, Knight received a rousing ovation when he came onto the court a couple of minutes earlier than usual. Even a Baylor assistant, standing under the basket during warmups, applauded as Knight walked out and shook hands with the coach. This is the first time Tech has punished Knight in his three seasons at the school. A row of students near the Tech bench wore red T-shirts with white lettering that read, "Lettuce Support Coach Knight" — a reference to rumors that lettuce had been thrown during the spat. Armen Williams, sophomore, painted his bare chest and arms in red acrylic and put in black: "I (Heart) Coach Knight." Knight spent much of the day meeting with school officials. "There's been so many rumors it's hard to say if he got the right punishment," Williams said. "We'll definitely let coach Knight know we support him, so he'll stay and he can continue to work his magic." He was hired in March 2001, six months after he was fired by Indiana for then-school president Myles Brand called his "pattern of unacceptable behavior." Myers, the only one of the three people most instrumental in hiring Knight who still works for the university, was with Knight on Monday when the spat occurred. Myers is a former basketball coach who has been friends with Knight for roughly three decades. "This is a misunderstanding and has now been rectified." Myers said in the statement. "The matter has been resolved in the best interest of the university." "We look forward to the continuation of what is already a successful season," Smith said. Knight has no behavior clause in his contract. At the time of his hiring, Myers and then-school president David Schmidt said they felt that none was needed. Schmidly has been replaced by Jon Whitmore. Smith replaced John Montford, a former state senator from Lubbock and a prolific fund-raiser. In the statement, Smith said he applauded how Whitmore and Myers resolved this issue. The grocery-store incident occurred six weeks after Knight went into a profanity-filled tirade upon being asked by an ESPN reporter about his relationship with former player Steve Alford, now the Iowa coach, who was also participating in the interview. Knight later apologized for his behavior. A Hall of Famer, Knight was hired at Tech to revive a downtrodden program. He did that by getting the Red Raiders into the NCAA tournament his first season, but wasn't able to get back last season. In response, he returned his $250,000 salary to the school, saying he hadn't earned it. Tech won 12 straight this season, the school's best streak since reaching the Sweet 16 in 1995-96, but then lost its next two going into the Baylor game. His overall record at Tech is 6126, making him 825-315 over 38 seasons. He has the most wins among active men's coaches and he's 54 from tying Dean Smith for the career lead. Yet Knight's fiery temper has often overshadowed his on-court success. In his 29 years at Indiana, he won three national championships and 11 Big Ten titles. Yet he's also remembered for throwing a chair across a court, punching a police officer in Puerto Rico and kicking a chair his son, then a player, was sitting in. He also was accused of choking a player. Knight's hiring was widely hailed in Lubbock, except for a group of faculty worried about the possible problems his sometimes volatile behavior could bring. Many recanted and have since become supporters, noting the money he's raised for scholarships and the library. There have been some run-ins, though. In January 2002, Knight and the general manager of the Compaq Center in Houston exchanged words after Knight complained about the small size of the locker room. The GM later apologized. ★ Pre-season Blowout ★ FOX RUN Luxury Apartments 843-4040 www.thefoxrun.com - Private balcony - On-site management - Pet friendly - Tanning bed -Garages with openers - Security *Pool & jacuzzi - Solid oak cabinets - Exercise Facility - Walk-in closets All Utilities Paid Pre-lease your 1,2, & 3 bedroom apartment for the next leasing season with all utilities paid excluding phone & cable.

Prosecutors fought back, saying sheriff's investigators did nothing without Bryant's consent. The clash was one of the fiercest yet in the series of pretrial hearings that will help determine what evidence is admitted when the Los Angeles Lakers star is tried on felony sexual assault. The two-day hearing, which included anonymous testimony from undercover investigators, ended without a ruling. Arguments will resume March 1. Bryant, 25, says he had consensual sex with the woman. He faces four years to life in prison or 20 years to life on probation if he is convicted. Under sharp questions from the defense, lead investigator Doug Winters acknowledged Bryant was subjected to a hospital examination in violation of Colorado court rules. Defense attorney Hal Haddon said the law calls for hair, fibers and other "non-testimonial evidence" to be obtained during daylight hours. Bryant's hospital exam was performed before dawn July 2, little more than 24 hours after he allegedly assaulted a 19-year-old resort employee in his room. Winters said he didn't know about the daylight rule. He also admitted a judge had to remind him he needed two separate court orders to gather evidence: one for hair and similar evidence, and another for Bryant's clothing, including the T-shirt. Winters' testimony covered what happened before and after Bryant's 75-minute interview with investigators in his room at the Lodge & Spa at Cordillera. State District Judge Terry Ruckriegle said the interview itself will be discussed behind closed doors because the material could harm Bryant's right to a fair trial and may not even be admitted as evidence. Haddon said the evidence and Bryant's statement should be off-limits because investigators violated key rules. He said Bryant was effectively in custody and was being questioned without having been read his Miranda rights. He also ridiculed authorities' use of a small audiotape recorder in the shirt pocket of a detective. Legal experts said the judge will probably not throw out Bryant's statement and the physical evidence because there is no clear or intentional violation of a constitutional right or rule.

Last season the team finished 7-6 and fourth in the Big 12. Only one Jayhawk swimmer qualified for the NCAA Championships. This season at least two individuals and more than one relay team have a realistic shot at qualifying. Jeff Brandsted/Kansan Campbell's team practices six days a week and, on most days, two times a day. Wednesday is the swimmers' third-straight day of having double practices, the day they are the most tired. The strict regimen doesn't relent when the swimmers have a meet. Campbell's practice routines remain consistent no matter what meet is coming up. In its last dual meet, Kansas had an early morning practice before traveling to Ames, Iowa, to race. Then the team got back on the bus to travel to Minneapolis, Minn., to race the next day. Kansas won only the first meet, but Campbell said he didn't put much stock in dual meets. The team members are learning how to push themselves when they are exhausted. "If you didn't swim tired, you wouldn't swim well at the end of the season," senior Maegan Himes said. "It just wouldn't happen." For Ladies For Men Tops $1999 Skirts Shirts Jeans Pants $1999 Dresses Sweaters Campbell's strategy — learning to race tired — is working for the team. The team usually races its team. Amy Gruber, Bigelow, Ark., junior, took a break between laps during last week's swimming practice at Robinson Natatorium. The Jayhawks are gearing up for their dual with Arkansas on Saturday. 843-0454 100 best on the last day of meets, senior co-captain Kristen Johnson said. Bolin, is a transfer from Evansville who qualified for the NCAA Championships her junior season while still at the Indianabased school. "We just really rise to every challenge that we're given," she said. Kansas will rely heavily on this fivesome when it heats into its final dual meet of the season, Saturday, Feb. 7 against Arkansas. This will be the team's final meet before the event Campbell has been preparing his team for all season: the Big 12 Championships. Kansas surprised many, including itself, when it knocked off two ranked teams and won the Minnesota Invitational at the end of November. Four of Kansas' relav teams also rank in the top 20. The 200-yard medley is 15th, the 400-yard freestyle is 16th, the 400-yard medley is 17th and the 200-yard freestyle is 19th. Almost everyone on the team has hit in-season best times, Campbell said. "As a whole, we are just swimming so much faster in practice, and it's really showing in meets," Sondall said. Johnson, who holds the second fastest time in KU history in the 100-yard breaststroke, also is showing steady improvement. Another senior, Ashley Dower, is recovering from shoulder surgery but has stepped up her racing, Campbell said. The team's improvement this season is built on a solid foundation of individual success. Five Jayhawk swimmers were ranked in the nation's top 50 times as of last Wednesday, according to the College Swimming Coaches Association of America. Senior co-captain Whitney Sondall's time in the 100-yard backstroke ranks 22nd, which is the highest of the team's rankings. The senior is having the best season of her KU career and is closing in on the Kansas record in the 100-yard backstroke. Her current best time of 55.52 is six-tenths off the record. Sondall is poised to do well at the Big 12 Championships and get an invitation to the NCAA Championships, Campbell said. Although the team is young with 10 sophomores and 13 freshmen, its five seniors are leading the charge to the Big 12 Championships. Himes, one of Campbell's most versatile swimmers, has the team's top individual medley times this season. The Big 12 Championships start on Feb.25, which, of course, is a Wednesday. The last of the five seniors. Kim BASKETBALL: Women face first road game after coach took leave 843 Massachusetts St. — Edited by Meghan Brune CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B Tonight's game will be the first road test for Kansas since Washington took a leave of absence. Texas Tech also will present an opportunity for Kansas to play in front of a packed house. The Texas Tech women average about 12,000 fans per game, three times more than the Texas Tech men's squad and 10 times the number the Kansas women typically play in front of at Allen Fieldhouse. Woodard said the atmosphere would be tough, but also said there were benefits to playing in front of a large crowd. "It's awesome for women to be able to play in that environment," she said. "The sport has come such a long way." Texas Tech is the fifth ranked team in the Big 12. All three of its losses were during conference play, including a double-overtime loss to Oklahoma State. Saturday the Kansas women will travel to Lincoln, Neb., to play a team that as recently as last week was ranked in the Top 25. The Cornhuskers (14-5, 4-4 Big 12) have been the biggest surprise of the season. Picked by the media to finish last in the conference, now the Nebraska women rank sixth in the latest Associated Press poll. Woodard, however, said she is locked in on the game against Texas Tech tonight. No changes are expected in tonight's lineup. Woodard said during the conference call that she planned on sticking with the starting five players Washington was using before her leave of absence. Both games this week are at 7 p.m. and will be broadcast on the Jayhawk Radio Network. "We can only take this one game,one step at a time." Edited by Robert Perkins SPRING BREAK '04 It's time to go!

H. B. Photo illustration by John Nowak/Special to the Kansas Doug Case, a former president of the Association of Fraternity Advisors, calls gay, lesbian and bisexual greeks the "invisible membership." In the AFA's newsletter 1996, he published a survey in the AFA's newsletter that proved queer members did exist. Based on the data, Case estimated that 3 to 4 percent of sorority members and 5 to 6 percent of fraternity members are queer. That's close to the general population percentages reported by the National Health and Social Life Survey: between 2 to 5 percent of women and 3 to 5 percent of men. percent of women and 3 to 5 percent The membership isn't as invisible as it used to be "SO, DO YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?" It didn't get any easier, even on the umpteenth time they asked. "Yeah, I'm somebody," Thomas Franklin said again. It was a crappy answer, but what else do you say during fraternity recruitment? lives of queer greeks change. When Case was a student, most gay men and lesbians didn't come out until after graduation, if at all, because of rejection and violence. Today, fraternity and sorority members are coming out in schools across the nation. More often then not, particularly in fraternities, they're being accepted for who they are. Several fraternities at the University of Kansas have had gay presidents. Both Case and Shane Windmeyer, who has edited two books about queer greeks and lectures on the topic, are gay fraternity members. They've seen the lives of queer greeks change. Around him, members and recruits of Phi Kappa Tau swirled in a blur of bowling and small talk. He thought about his life at Independence Community College. It was so small-town, but people there didn't care that he was gay. They'd elected him student body president and homecoming king. Now, here he was at the fabled "Gay-U," in the relatively enlightened year of 1998, bending the truth to please people he didn't know. This was getting old. "So, do you have a girlfriend?" "No, but I have a boyfriend," Thomas said. sure: The members of Phi Kappa Tau had already decided to ask Thomas to join. He'd been to other recruitment events and they'd seen that he was a strong leader, a good student and a swell guy. So what if he was into men; they'd heard their chapter had accepted guys like him before, and Thomas was too much of an asset to lose. They offered him a bid that night. Everyone struggles with rejection and popularity, and everyone worries about getting a date. The issues were the same, only the details were different. He knows people think it must have been an awkward life, but it wasn't. Thomas never felt like "that gay black guy." He wasn't a token or a freak. Everyone struggles with rejection and popularity, and everyone worries about getting a date. The issues were the same, only the details were different. Looking back, the one experience that made him feel different, and the hardest thing he ever did, was telling the fraternity he was gay. Every new member of Phi Kappa Tau gets a nickname, usually a joke that plays on his personality or appearance. Thomas' was Lamar, after the fey African-American fraternity member in Revenge of the Nerds. accepted them. Case wasn't as shocked. He compared it to coming out to family. Even the kind of father who freaks out when boys can't throw a football is going to be hard-pressed to permanently reject a gay son. After all, Case said, this isn't some random pansy — this is his kid. More importantly, this is a person he knows, not a faceless stereotype. Case said respect for the person would outweigh disrespect for the stereotype more than 50 percent of the time. Most people who responded to Doug Case's survey were terrified of coming out and surprised when their chapters than 50 percent less. Nonetheless, Thomas' decision to come out early in his Greek career is rare. Fear of what might happen keeps some people silent until they're upperclassmen. In the past, when rejection was the norm, it was common to not come out until years after graduation. Not everyone who waits to come out now does so out of fear. A guy might identify as straight when he joins but realize three years later there's a reason Playgirl is more interesting to him than Playboy. That's what happened to Danny Cohn, another KU student who came out to his fraternity in the spring of 1998. No one suspected Danny was gay. He dated a lot and got the lookers, too. Hot SEE CLOSET ON PAGE 6A Dialogue to address affirmative action By Marc Ingber mingber@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Affirmative action has sparked debate among politicians for years, but tonight University of Kansas faculty and students will be the ones weighing in on the controversial issue. The Multicultural Resource Center will hold "Special Treatment for Special Mis-Treatment: Is there really a need for affirmative action?" at 7 tonight at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union. The event, which is co-sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Diversity Peer Education Team, is part of this year's Diversity Dialogues series. Andrea Pantoja, Mission junior and president of the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, said she thought the discussion would lead to an intense debate. "I think a lot of people can say it's a good thing and a bad thing. I'm sure it will be a heated conversation if there's a diverse group of students there," she said Santos Nunez, program director of the Multicultural Resource Center, said the panel would include professors from political science, philosophy, journalism and other disciplines, in addition to students with a variety of majors. She said the panel would primarily discuss the elements of affirmative action and the controversies associated with it in recent years. Mark Dupree, Kansas City, Kan., senior, and Big 12 delegate for the Black Student Union, said affirmative action was an important issue, especially at a predominantly white institution where viewpoints could be lopsided. Students need to look for both sides of the issue, he said. "It's like my mother always said, 'If you don't go looking for the truth, the truth won't find you,'" Dupree said. Tom Keating, Marysville junior and president of the KU Young Democrats, said some form of affirmative action was still needed. sun headed "Affirmative action is an issue that we are not finished with in this country," he said. "There is still a need for it, but it might take on a different form than it has in the past." Ali Bannwarth, Independence sophomore and secretary for the University of Kansas College Republicans, agreed that it was an important issue to discuss. "I think any discussion is always worthwhile, especially about issues that are controversial," she said.

Peg Rodger, food consultant for Envisions Strategies, and Andrew Pitts, architect with Treanor Architect P.A., have been meeting with students, faculty, and staff since Tuesday evening to hear how they would like to see the sack lunch alternative to Mrs. E's transformed. Nona Golledge, assistant director of dining services for the Department of Student Housing, said the student input gathered from those meetings would help to guide the renovation plans.

"It's kind of more retro, and I think it would really fit with Hash," Meitl said. Other proposed concepts for the facility thus far have included fast-food franchise options such as Taco Bell or Papa John's and extended hours. Ben Heath, Overland Park junior, said a 24-hour venue would be ideal for when students get an attack of the late-night munchies. But he said it might not be practical to offer food that students can already have delivered to the residence halls because they will continue to go off-campus to get exactly what they want.

But this time it's nottuition — it's birth control. Watkins Memorial Health Center is now charging students $18.95 for a one-month prescription of the oral contraceptive Ortho-cyclen. That's a 171 percent increase from the original $7. Watkins will not benefit more from the increase. "We're not making more money, it's costing us more money to buy it," Cathy Thrasher, Watkins pharmacist, said. About two years ago, Watkins "We're not making more money, it's costing us more money to buy it" Cathy Thrasher Watkins pharmacist realized the inevitable: manufacturer Ortho-McNeil was going to increase the price of Orthocyclen. Students must remember Orthocylen's new price is still discounted and Watkins offers cheaper options, Thrasher said. There was little that Watkins could of done to prepare for the increase. State guidelines and expiration dates prevented them from stockpiling Ortho-cyclen two years ago. Watkins operates under the state of Kansas purchasing guidelines. It has certain limits of purchase dollars and must receive special approval for each purchase. Thrasher said universities operated under much stricter rules than independent pharmacies. "It's a whole different world here because we have many people to whom we have to answer to." Thrasher said. One factor that contributes to the increase is Ortho-cyclen's generic competitors. When other companies began offering the same product as Ortho-McNeil, the market opened up, Thrasher said. Thrasher said Watkins' prices would change as the market changes. The increase is still a discounted rate and is still cheaper than independent pharmacies, Thrasher said. Other pharmacies in Lawrence such as Jayhawk Pharmacy, 3510 Clinton Place, charge about $40 for a one-month dosage of Ortho-cyclen. Planned Parenthood of Mid- Missouri and Eastern Kansas, 2108 W. 27th St., offers oral contraceptives to students at a discounted rate. Its price for Ortho-cyclen and all other oral contraceptives is $8 for a one-month dosage. Planned Parenthood cut Ortho-cylcen's price in half at least six months ago, said Becki Brenner, vice president for clinical services of the Missouri and Eastern Kansas division. Other agencies also offer the prescription at a discount rate. Lawrence Douglas County Health Department, 200 Maine St., offers Ortho-cyclen for $4. But that price can be misleading. They make up for the low price through other fees. "The low cost doesn't mean it's cheaper here," said Barbara Schnitker, director of nurses for the department. "We also break our fees out to other areas like lab and examining fees." Thrasher said Ortho-cyclen was not their most prescribed oral contraceptive. Ortho-trycyclen and Ortho-tricyclenlo are the most common ones. These pills offer a lower level of hormones than Ortho-cylen. Thrasher said Watkins would prescribe the correct pill with the help of a physician's evaluation. The price for a one-month cycle for Ortho-trycyclen or Ortho-trycyclenlo is $7. Thrasher guaranteed that Ortho-trycyclenlo would stay at $7 for some time. Edited by Guillaume Doane Student Senate decides polling site locations By Andy Marso amarso@kansan.com Kansan staff writer A debate over how students vote for their Student Senate representatives dominated last night's Senate meeting. The debate focused on the usefulness of polling sites as opposed to having students only vote at campus computer labs. The original bill was for five polling sites at a cost of $8,000 to $10,000. Kyle Johnson, StudEx chair, proposed an amendment that would have reduced that to a single polling site at Wescoe Beach. Last year Wescoe was the most popular of nine polling sites, with 32.5 percent of votes placed there. After Johnson proposed the amendment, senators debated about a dozen different polling plans. Proponents of polling sites argued that they increased voter turnout by their visibility and that workers at polling sites offered help to students who didn't understand how to vote. Opponents of polling sites said they were too expensive and little-used. The plan that passed called for four polling sites at Wescoe, Mrs. E's, GSP-Corbin Hall and the Student Fitness Recreation Center in addition to campus computer labs. Senate allocated $7,000 for the four sites. Senate also passed a bill to allocate $3,252 to the Blueprints Leadership Conference. The conference, in its 15th year, includes guest speakers, activities and a community service project. It will be held Feb.28. The bill included $2,000 to secure Oklahoma State professor Andrew Urich as the featured speaker. Urich teaches business law and retired from his legal career having never lost a case. Casey Collier, holdover senator, saw Urich at the 2001 Blueprints Conference, when he was also a keynote speaker. She said that Urich was energetic. Collier said the conference would provide opportunities for students to network with peers and learn from current leaders. Registration begins Monday. - Edited Henry C. Jackson Budget cuts could end leadership seminar By Anna Clovis aclovis@kansan.com Kansas staff writer The program that envisioned the Student Recreation Fitness Center could be leaving the University. While this could save the University of Kansas thousands of dollars,it could also disappoint students. For financial reasons, the University may be forced to end LeaderShape, a six-day, intensive leadership training seminar. During the program, participants learn about teamwork and create vision projects that they intend to implement during their time at the University. The training takes place at Tall Oaks conference center in Linwood. Reuben Perez, coordinator for leadership education and development programs, said every year the LeaderShape existed at the University could have been the last. Perez said the risk was created because the expensive program, which cost the University $33,000, started without a longterm plan to keep it alive "If KU loses this, they lose a lot of what they have now,and that's good leaders." Elizabeth Ault Topeka sophomore University LeaderShape vision projects have included House That Greeks Built and the Colors of KU diversity retreat. Some students said their lives would be different without LeaderShape. Susan Henry said she wasn't sure if attending LeaderShape her freshman year would be a good idea. With most of the participants being sophomores and juniors, the Fort Scott junior said she thought she would be intimidated. Instead she was inspired. "It helped me find the type of leader I wanted to be," Henry said. Henry is the vice president of recruitment for the panhellenic association, the governing body of University sororities. She said LeaderShape helped start a chain reaction that led to her position. Perez said it was hard to put a price tag on the potential the conference generated "I believe that's worth it if you can fire up students to initiate change," Perez said. The University is one of 40 campuses with LeaderShape programs, said Susie Cooper, manager for purchasing and curriculum in LeaderShape's main office in Champaign, Ill. Cooper said the potential end of the program at the University was not a trend. She said more campuses added LeaderShape programs each year. She said people in charge of the programs worked diligently to do whatever they could of done to keep the programs going. Some, she said, were seeking corporate sponsorships to defray the cost. Perez said the University program charged each participant a $50 fee for the past two years to help with funding. He said some 2004 LeaderShape graduates were planning to ask Student Senate for funding to continue the conference. Elizabeth Ault, Topeka sophomore, graduated from LeaderShape last year. She said the loss of the program would be devastating. "If KU loses this, they lose a lot of what they have now, and that's good leaders," Ault said. Henry said that while not having LeaderShape would be bad, she thought that students that were driven to be successful had different options. Henry said she knew students who had attended the national sessions in Illinois. She said those sessions were beneficial because the students had different perspectives. LeaderShape offers eight national sessions during the summer for $1,450 per participant. Scholarships are available.

Not much has been covered by The University Daily Kansan about a local court case that likely strikes a chord intimately with many students: rape. In early January, two of the three men convicted of raping a 13-year-old Lawrence girl received little more than a slap on the wrist for their crimes. A fourth man has not been convicted. Douglas County District Judge Paula Martin ordered probation and 60-day jail time for Brian K. Ussery, 19, and William N. Haney, 19, rather than the usual 13-year prison sentence. By calling the victimized girl an "active participant," Martin sent a message to females in the community that OURVIEW The justice system should take rape charges more seriously and punish offenders accordingly. if you're drunk, you are fair game. And just as appalling, a statutory rape charge apparently doesn't deserve much of a punishment, either. According to a study by the U.S. Justice Department's National Institute of Justice and Bureau of Justice Statistics released on Jan. 26, 3 percent of college women say they have been raped or been victims of attempted rape. Of that number, 90 percent of campus rapes are committed by offenders that the women know. The statistics likely only show a sliver of the true number of rape victims because many women are ashamed or too frightened to press charges. And with the watered-down punishment handed down by Martin, the justice system does not seem to be on the side of those women who do have the courage to come forward. Martin has done a grave disservice to Douglas County by reviving the notion that a woman who puts herself in a bad situation deserves what she gets. If our justice system desires to eliminate the stigma attached to rape victims and dissuade future offenders, it needs to remain consistent by giving adequate prison sentences. WAR ON TERROR SMACK RAT IRAN AL QAEDA IRAQ NORTH KOREA SAD DAM CONNOR MEIGS 03 I THINK I'M GETTING THE HANG OF THIS! Connor Meigs for The University Daily Kansas WAKE UP! Terrorism carries diverse meanings Terrorism. This word has bombarded its way into the American psyche since the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001. The U.S. government and the media are quick to tag the label of "terrorism" or "terrorist" on just about any hostile action taken against a U.S. ally or interest. Before the word "terrorism" gets blown out of proportion any further, readers should be informed of what the word really means. According to the Fourth Edition of Webster's New World College Dictionary, terrorism is the "act of terrorizing; use of force or threats to demoralize, intimidate, and subjugate especially such use as a political weapon or policy." Now that the definition has been addressed, it should come as no surprise that the word "terrorism" could be maintained so easily. So what qualifies a person as a terrorist, or an act they commit as a form of terrorism? The United States has plenty of enemies at home and abroad who view this country as being terrorist. Sept. 11 provided proof of that and will forever be remembered as one of the most horrendous days in U.S. history. It was hard to fathom that terrorists could strike our country with such great magnitude, killing thousands of innocent people. Now Americans understand first hand the anger, helplessness and shock that terrorism causes. The tricky spin to terrorism is that those who inflict terror do not view it as such. The hijackers of 9/11 became martyrs for their actions, receiving praise from supporters, while the U.S. government was quick to call them terrorists. With that in mind, were the American colonists' terrorists or heroes? The colonists did not want the British to meddle in their affairs, so they took the necessary actions to get their point across by using force. so-called Islamic radicals do not like the United States forcing Western ideals COMMENTARY Brandon Cobb opinion@kansan.com down their throats, so they use force as a way to get their point across. I am not saying that their actions are just; but it is something to think about. Our ally, Israel, has to deal with Palestinian suicide bombers on regular basis. The United States is quick to condemn the suicide attacks but rarely talks about the constant harassment and military force the Israelis use against the Palestinians. Palestinians want their own sovereign country but lack the military might of the Israelis, so suicide bombers use themselves as a weapon to get their point across. Are they terrorists? The U.S.-led coalition in Iraq used brutal force with a massive bombing campaign called "shock and awe" to liberate the Iraqi people and rid them of Saddam Hussein. Now that the dictator has been ousted, the remnants of his regime constantly ambush U.S. soldiers because they do not want them there. Are they terrorists for fighting for their own land? Instead of losing more troops and Iraqi citizens, the Bush Administration should realize that not everyone in Iraq wants the United States' help. This country is the last remaining superpower in the world and if it does not stop playing bully, more violent acts of terrorism may occur in the future. Cobb is a Kansas City, Kan., senior in political science. PERSPECTIVE Unity larger issue than race Somewhere Martin Luther King, Jr. and Jesus are shaking their heads and crying, while Malcolm X jumps for joy. The two aforementioned leaders, Jesus and King, fought for all of humanity. It is evident in King's work that he and Jesus shared views. They wanted to unite humans and show equality. They thought that humans should focus on what we have in common and forget the foolish things that separate us, i.e. race. While most people would agree with them, there are some out there, who, like Malcom X and other race favorers, see our differences. Though this is visible in society, I never thought it would infiltrate our colleges and be represented as a good philosophy. After reading an opinion column Monday I realized that many don't object to such racial segregation. I am not a Christian and I agree with some of the broad statements made in the article's conclusion, but the premise of the article—that Christianity has its roots in white supremacy—is ludicrous. Brian Pearson, the author of "Always Remember to Question Your Faith: Christianity has Roots of White Supremacy" said that some of what churches and religions say is "unclear" or "contradictory." I agree. Yet, he then rattled off a Ph.D. author and divulged her racially-charged theory --- GUEST COMMENTARY Kenny Nicely opinion@kansan.com about the cross and its symbolism. This theory likens the cross to black genitals. The problem is that most of the Bible is a metaphor and subject to interpretation. I'm sure if you were to ask a KKK member he could find a way to twist it to suit his cause. Most would realize that these manipulations are nonsense. Pearson stated that the cross theory was "out there." The article then took a turn for the worse when he began to argue for this position. How does he do so? To make sense of the theory, he injects race. He says that Jesus was a black man who was killed by the white Romans. What relevance does Jesus being black have to what he thought or why he was condemned? And let's not forget those oppressive white people, oops, I mean Romans. The whites killed Jesus because he was black? Are you serious? No one cares about the skin color of Jesus or King, and if they do, they certainly don't agree with their teachings. Jesus and King wanted us to get the point, not bicker over who came from whose camp. They praised equality and the Golden Rule, not the advancement of a singular race like Malcom X. So when I look at a black, white or Asian — woman or man — I look inside them. I look to their message and find beauty instead of doing what's easy and focusing on their exterior. During this month, Black History Month, I choose to disavow those leaders who sought power for themselves, and focus on those who ruled men without power. I will honor and respect King and Jesus for their views. Their teachings are our only hope. I respect Pearson's right to have an opinion. I spoke with Gabriel Roland, Kansas City, Kan., senior, who said if I wrote something he'd want me to say "it's important to know where people are coming from." He's right. Does it matter that Roland is black? No. I'll take this message and extend a hand to Pearson. I value hearing an explanation of what he wrote. Nicely is an Olathe junior in psychology and Spanish.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Kansan should keep level of professionalism On page 8A of the Feb. 2 Kansan, in the article "Protesters Question Moore," the expletive fuc* is represented completely in the text of a quote. Last week, a student quipped for the Kansan that paying for printouts was "really a pain in my ass." These words hold no shock value; they merely make the Kansan appear crass. I realize, of course, that these are examples of quotes — that should make no difference. You work hard to produce a newspaper that is professional. Has the policy of the Kansan changed to allow such language, debasing the quality of the final product? I know that I'm not the only alumna (and current student) to notice and wonder.

Hays is a pre-radiology student who celebrates her Irish heritage. By Samia Khan skhan@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Annie Bernethy/Kansan Editor's note: Every face in the crowd and every number in the phone book has a story behind it. This semester, Kansan staff reporter Samia Kahn will be reporting each week on a student who was picket at random. You can find almost half of Keara Hays' family in a small town in Ireland where they still use crank-up telephones, only one channel comes in on the television and some residents might claim a fear of e-mail. "I guess they don't want to develop," said Hays, Lenexa sophomore. "They calculate everything at the gas station by hand." Hays' small-town Irish heritage has played a big role in her life. Her mother moved to the United Stattiny Caherline, Ireland in the 1970s. She then married Hays' father, who had just returned to the states from Vietnam. Hays has been to Caherline six times for month-long trips to see her mother's family. "Everybody knew us, we were the Americans," she said. Her mother's family owns a gas station in town. When Hays visited as a child, the only way to pass the day was playing at the gas station with her cousins and eating candy. Now that she is older, she replaces her time at the gas station with the local pubs. In a town where Hays estimates the population is about 200, there are two gas stations, one supermarket and a row of six pubs. "They drink all the time," she said. "There's plenty of alcohol to go around." "It would be like having a pub connected to the Kansas Union," she said. But Hays said the number of pubs doesn't translate into a drinking problem. It is simply a big piece of the daily life and culture. Thirty miles away at the University of Limerick, Hayes visited a pub located in the middle of campus. she said. Noticing those slight cultural differences was a big part of how Hays grew up. Her mother also raised her with a different view of St. Patrick's Day than the common American conception. St. Patrick's Day is taken seriously in Ireland, she said. Instead of drinking, the first activity on most Irish people's mind for the holiday is church, Hays said. "My mom always thought if you're going to do something on St. Patrick's Day it should be church. Then you can go celebrate." she said. Growing up in the United States, Hays was known as the girl who always went to Ireland. Teachers would ask her to share her pictures and stories in front of the class. She would come home with a slight Irish accent that made her friends laugh. "It was the teasing that helped me train myself out of it every time," she said. Even without the accent, she is still left with one noticeable mark of her heritage. Hays is the only person in her family with red hair, but she wouldn't call it the luck of the Irish. "We have no idea where it came from. It's really bright, and I don't like it," she said. grow out for a brief period last year. "I like her red hair. You can really tell she's Irish," said Ward, Baxter, Iowa sophomore. Hays has been highlightig it blonde since she was 15 years old. Her roommate Amie Ward, who dyes her own hair red, saw Hays' natural hair color when she 's 14 "There aren't huge cultural differences, but It's the little things," she said. "I know I was raised differently from everybody else." Buckingham Hays Irish heritage has not put her worlds apart from her peers, but she said it still plays a big role in her life. STATE WASHINGTON - A Senate rattled by a ricin attack began returning to business yesterday, and the lack of any reported illnesses prompted leaders to plan to reopen office buildings. "I am not following anybody with any symptoms that would be consistent with a toxic exposure," said John Eisold, the U.S. Capitol attending physician. The Postal Service said tests for ricin at its facility that processes congressional mail were negative. The station, closed as a precaution, was to reopen yesterday. Senators, voting for the first time this week, acted on a judge ship nomination, and at least three Senate committees had hearings, though they were held in House buildings. TOPEKA —The House tentatively approved a bill yesterday to fund improvements in county 911 systems with a new, 50-cent monthly fee on wireless phones. "There's been no smoking letter information that helps tie this thing together," U.S. Capitol Police Chief Terrance Gainer told Even so, officials continued to say they did not know how the poison arrived Monday in the mailroom of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn). Frist said he assumed it came in the mail because the powder was found on the tray of a machine used to cut open envelopes. The Associated Press Last night, a white powder was found on the first floor of the Capitol, but tests for hazardous substances were negative. The building was not evacuated. Bowing to growing complaints, Senate leaders were letting senators and aides to briefly re-enter their offices to remove needed documents and equipment. That included the fourth-floor corridor in the Dirksen Senate office building where the toxin was discovered in Frist's mailroom. Senate continues business after scare Bill approved to provide money for 911 systems —Edited by Kevin Flaherty "It's completely normal in there," said Laurie Schultz Heim, an aide to Sen. James Jeffords (I-Vt), who said she spent less than 10 minutes removing items from his offices, which are next to Frist's. Yet with the entire Capitol complex subject to air sampling and all congressional mail being examined, no one was willing to say the threat was over. The FBI, Environmental Protection Agency, and 100 Marines from the corps' Chemical Biological Incident Response Force were among those investigating. Although ricin inhaled or injected can kill quickly, the incident seemed to be causing less tension than the anthrax letters sent to Capitol Hill in October 2001. The fee would raise at least $7.8 million a year, proponents said. The money would be used to upgrade county's emergency phone systems to make it easier to locate someone making a 911 call on a wireless phone. Lawmakers and aides said that was because being targeted by a biochemical substance is no longer novel for Congress, and initial indications were that the ricin had not spread into the air. Officials said they had not found a link between the ricin in Frist's office and ricin-laden letters found last fall in mail facilities serving the White House and the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport in South Carolina. Gainer said no one had claimed credit for the ricin attack on Frist. And Frist said officials "have no earthly idea" if it may have been the work of international terrorists. House members advanced the bill on a voice vote, with final action scheduled today. The Senate passed a version last year. Frist said barring new problems, the Senate's two other office buildings would reopen this week. Right now, emergency personnel in most Kansas counties' dispatch centers are shown the number but not the location of a cell phone on which a 911 call is made — information automatically provided on calls made from traditional phones. In addition, 911 calls made on cell phones are sometimes mistakenly routed to other counties or even across state lines, supporters of the legislation said. Proponents of the bill said wireless phone companies have the technology to deliver information about a caller's location but most counties lack the equipment to receive it. Winter weather deadly to livestock industry WICHITA—With calving now underway on Midwest ranches, a wave of winter storms is forcing already-weary cattlemen to try and keep their newborn calves from freezing to death. Debbie Lyons-Blythe and her husband, Duane Blythe, have 250 cows that calve each year in January and February on their ranch near White City in northeast Kansas. Usually they check only their heifers every four hours at night. But with the current cold, snowy weather, they are checking all their cows every two to three hours — especially at night. It takes an hour to go through all the herds. Then they go back to sleep for an hour or two before doing it all over again. Despite their efforts, five of the 25 calves born since Monday have died in the extreme temperatures a half hour to an hour after being born. The cold temperatures are also taking a toll on the state's vast feedlot industry as cold cattle shed pounds. Terry Handke, a Muscatot feedlot operator and president of the Kansas Livestock Association, weighed his fat cattle last week. He said he figured the recent ice storm probably took 30 to 40 pounds off each animal. "Those pounds are pretty important—the ones at the top end —because that is where your profit is," Handke said. When a storm hits across much of the state it costs 20 or 30 pounds of weight loss for each animal meaning the loss of hundreds of thousands of pounds of beef production in states like Kansas where there is a big feedlot industry, he said. WORLD Dominican child to have extra head removed SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic - A Dominican infant born with a second head will undergo a risky operation Friday to remove the appendage, which has a partially formed brain, ears, eyes and lips. The surgery is complicated because the two heads share arteries. Led by a Los Angles-based neurosurgeon who successfully separated Guatemalan twins, the medical team will spend about' 13 hours removing Rebecca Martinez's second head. The 18 surgeons, nurses and doctors will cut off the undeveloped tissue, clip the veins and arteries and close the skull of the 7-week-old baby using a bone graft from another part of her body. "We know this is a delicate operation," Rebeca's father, Franklyn Martinez, 28, told The Associated Press. "But we have a positive attitude." CURE International, a Lemoyne, Pa.-based charity that gives medical care to disabled children in developing countries is paying for the surgery and follow-up care. Dr. Jorge Lazareff, director of pediatric neurosurgery at the University of California at Los Angeles' Mattel Children's Hospital, will lead the operation along with Dr. Benjamin Rivera, a neurosurgeon at the Medical Center of Santo Domingo. Lazareff led a team that successfully separated Guatemalan twin girls in 2002. Doctors say if the surgery goes well Rebecca won't need physical therapy and will develop as a normal child. Hebeca was born on Dec. 17 with the undeveloped head of her twin, a condition known as craniopagus parasiticus. Twins born conjoined at the head are extremely rare, accounting for one of every 2.5 million births. Parasitic twins like Rebeca are even rarer. All the other documented infants died before birth, making it the first known surgery of its kind. Lazareff and Hazim said. Hazim said the surgery must be done now so the pressure of Rebeca's other brain doesn't prevent her from developing. rebeca is the eighth documented case in the world of craniopagus parasiticus, said Dr. Santiago Hazim, medical director at CURE International's Center for Orthopedic Specialties in Santo Domingo. Rebeca shares blood vessels and arteries with her second head. Although only partially developed, the mouth on her second head moves when Rebeca is being breast-fed. Tests indicate some activity in her second brain. Martinez said doctors told him before Rebecca was born that she would have a tumor on her head, but none of the prenatal tests showed a second head developing. Lazareff says Rebeca's chances of survival are good. —The Associated Press Grandfathered in...

Her Southern accent sounded patronizing to Sarah Burris as they spoke about Sarah's involvement in Queers and Allies and the Douglas County AIDS Project. Burris was suddenly sorry she'd worn her Gay Pride T-shirt that day, and when she didn't get a bid, the Lawrence junior thought it was because Trixie didn't approve of her sexuality. There are fewer lesbian and bisexual sorority women than gay fraternity men, according to both a national survey and anecdotal evidence. On www.Lambda 10.org, Shane Windmeyer's Web site for gay, lesbian and bisexual greeks, people can choose to sign a "Who's Out" list. The men's list is 28 pages long, while the women's is five. A number of people said sororities were more focused on reputation, and, as a result, tended to exclude queer T years ago are likely to have different viewpoints from current members. While attitudes of alumni affect the ability of queer women to join sororities, attitudes within chapters affect how open queer members can be. When Robyn Smith joined a sorority at the University of Syracuse in New York, no one knew she was bisexual. She told her chapter only after former members threatened to out her. When the chapter got a new house, no one wanted to room women. Those people included gay and straight fraternity men, queer sorority women and national experts such as Windmeyer. Two national surveys suggest women come out later in life and are less likely to adopt labels to describe their sexuality. That means there could be more sorority women who are attracted to or sexually involved with women, but who don't identify themselves as lesbian or bisexual. Queer women might also be discouraged from joining sororities because of stereotypes of greek life. Julia Hill, the national president of Zeta Tau Alpha, denied Sarah's sexuality was a factor in her disqualification. Officially, she wasn't accepted because she didn't fit the group dynamic. But Hill couldn't explain what that was, beyond good grades and extracurricular activities. Zeta policy prevents recruiters, such as Tixie and local Zeta alumni, from commenting. Sarah was accepted by many members of Zeta and still hangs out with some of them. Those members told her it was the alumni who had the problem. In fraternities such as Pi Kappa Phi and Sigma Phi Epsilon, alumni have little control over who joins a specific chapter. The same isn't true of most sororites. A member of Zeta at the University said alumni made the final decision and vetoed several applicants the members would have welcomed. Alumni have an interest in maintaining their sorority's reputation because being linked to an unpopular sorority would hurt networking. In addition, popular opinion of homosexuality has changed. Alumni who graduated 10 with her for fear of being labeled as lesbian. After she quit the sorority, Robyn found out that the going rate to trade out of her room was more than $500. Angie Carr, coordinator for Fraternity and Sorority Life at the University, said women, in general, were more concerned about reputation than men. However, she thought there were other reasons for the dearth of queer sorority women. Two national surveys suggest women come out later in life and are less likely to adopt labels to describe their sexuality. That means there could be more sorority women who are attracted to or sexually involved with women, but who don't identify themselves as lesbian or bisexual. Queer women might also be discouraged from joining sororities because of stereotypes of greek life. Windmeyer and Doug Case said fraternities and gay social circles are both perceived as being the domain of buff, attractive young men with frosted hair and stylish clothes. Look at the pictures in a fraternity brochure and a gay men's magazine, they suggested. You sometimes can't tell the difference between the two. The same isn't true of sorority and lesbian life. Case said sororities were wrongly perceived as places where high-maintenance blondes scheme to trap a man. He said a woman who already knew she was a lesbian probably wouldn't want to be associated with that. So even if discrimination is less of a factor than most sources said it was, reputation still contributes to the lack of lesbian sorority women. Maggie Koerth John Nowak/Special to the Kansan I WAS A GAY FRAT BOY: Shane Windmeyer came out to his fraternity at Emporia State and was accepted by his brothers. Today, he runs a Web site, www.lambda10.org, devoted to helping other queer Greeks know they aren't alone. Closet CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A women his fraternity brothers took notice of. But Danny noticed men. At first, he thought it was a phase. Every sex education class he'd taken mentioned most guys went through that during puberty. Danny figured he was a late bloomer. But then he turned 20 and started questioning just how late a bloom could be and how long a "phase" could last. He accepted his sexuality in January 1998, and told his parents over spring break. It wasn't until an unseasonably hot April evening that he broke the news to his house. He remembers sweating. The 60 members of Alpha Epsilon Pi, crammed into their formal room for a chapter meeting, were sweating, too. They were getting cranky. They had sat through a long, dull meeting and here was Danny, wanting to drag it out longer for some announcement. A tat lump stuck in his windpipe. His heart flopped heavily in his ribcage. I'm going to pass out, he thought. "You're my brothers, I want you to know something about me," he said. And he told them. Silence. More silence. Then they started snapping their fingers in support, and Danny realized he had nothing to fear. Alpha Epsilon Pi is a traditionally Jewish fraternity, and reformed Judaism does not condemn homosexuality. Besides, this wasn't just any gay guy, this was their buddy Danny. Later that semester, the Kansan ran a story about how Danny had come out. That was when his life became surreal. "We had Sigma Kappas singing on our lawn and Tri Deltas sending fruit baskets," he said. "Because of Will & Grace, it was über-trendy to have a gay friend and everyone thought it was great." Not only that, the greek members knew Danny. They did Rock Chalk with him, they studied with him and they partyed with him. It wasn't a huge stretch to accept him. Danny was honest. Chapters whose members understand that kind of unconditional trust are more likely to accept members who out themselves, Shane Windmeyer said. When members come out, it's proof they trust their chapter. To keep the social contract that holds the chapter together, straight members must honor that trust with acceptance. Lack of trust, on the other hand, is punished. There's a sense of betrayal when a member doesn't tell the chapter about something as important as being gay, Windmeyer said. If a chapter rejects a queer member, he said, it's often because the other members felt rejected and deceived when they had to hear the truth from outside the group. Friendship, ideology and chapter loyalty are the factors that determine whether a queer member is accepted. It's difficult for both queer and straight members to decide which factors they will pay the most attention to, especially when those factors conflict. The dilemma doesn't end when the closet door opens. When queer members start dating, people have to decide all over again whether, and how much they're going to accept. Often, the greek system doesn't intend to exclude, but does so because of tradition. Social events are built around straight romance, and queer greeks have to adapt. geeks like Thomas said date dashes at KU were set up as very heterosexual situations. "But a lot of girls don't have boyfriends so they'll bring their gay and bi friends," he said. "The guys end up hooking up and it happens a lot. A lot." Even so, same-sex couples aren't expected or easily accommodated. As a result, you're about as likely to see two guys together at a Greek formal as you are to see punks at a Dave Matthews Band concert. They either don't go, or, like Thomas and his boyfriend, they take opposite-sex dates. It is not necessarily discrimination they fear; the awkwardness is worse. It would stand out and no one wants to be a sideshow. Dating wasn't a problem for Thomas. His fraternity brothers got along with his boyfriend. They treated Thomas' relationship the same way they treated straight members'. Others weren't so lucky. A former member of the University's now-defunct Alpha Kappa Lambda chapter said other members accepted his sexuality, but didn't want to know whom he was dating or the details. Because two guys together are easier to peg as gay than a guy alone is, dating increases visibility for most gay greeks. That's what some chapters have a problem with. Phil Kappa Tau got along with Thomas' boyfriend, but the boyfriend's fraternity didn't return the sentiment. In fact, the members actively opposed the relationship. They liked both men, but this was more than an issue of friendship. To have one of their own be gay and openly dating another guy could ruin them. The greek system is based on reputation. Each chapter has a stereotype: the jock house, the party girls, the geeks. Like most stereotypes, they're mostly false, but they can affect recruitment and social status within the community. Being known as the "gay" or "lesbian" chapter could hurt social standing. The fear of losing members is even more horrifying. It's hard to maintain a presence at this University without a house for your chapter. Chapters that can't recruit can't afford their houses. Chapters that lose their houses tend to fade into oblivion. Several people said fear of gay and lesbian members might be nothing less than a survival instinct. The coordinator for Sorority and Fraternity Life at the University of Kansas said the University's culture of diversity limited the need to worry about this. She questioned why a fraternity or sorority would want to actively recruit a homophobe. More importantly, why would you want someone to join who would discriminate against other members? That isn't a good way to form strong bonds of sisterhood or brotherhood. Thomas, however, did see it as an issue here. He never came out in the public way Danny did. Representatives of Phi Kappa Tau asked him to tell the Kansan that they hadn't had a gay member since him, but he didn't think the chapter was ashamed of him. Rather, he understands how delicate recruitment is. He said the relatively quiet position he took helped his fraternity stay afloat and helped members get over their biases.

Thomas said he was a counter point to those blases, "but if you bring it up too early, you'll miss an opportunity to change their minds." That was more important to him than being able to shout his sexuality from the rooftops. Gay greek members want to be an asset to their chapter, Windmeyer said. But he doesn't think staying quiet is the way to do it. Silence hurts chapters and straight members, as well as the people who are excluded. Windmeyer paints a Star Wars-esque scenario where fear leads to hate and hate leads to suffering. Public support for gay and lesbian members is often the first casualty in the fight for a "clean" reputation. Even the biggest allies clam up. Silence tends to be the status quo at the University of Kansas. Kappa Kappa Gamma President Julia Guinan blames that tendency on fear. "People don't want to be labeled either way," the Wichita senior said. "They don't want to be seen as supporting something like that because people might think they themselves are gay and they don't want to be seen as being against it because that would make them look like an ass." Windmeyer said that attitude hurt greeks because it sheltered them from the real world. Greek organizations are a training ground for leaders, but how effective is a leader who doesn't have any experience with diversity? Fraternities and sororites can't ignore these issues, he said. Not if they expect their alumni to thrive off-campus. The more a chapter's members are concerned with reputation, the more likely they are to not accept queer members and to expect members who come out to keep quiet. Greek members say sororites are more concerned with reputation than fraternities. It's harder to find lesbian sorority women than it is to find gay fraternity men. At the University, these women exist mostly in myth. Someone was in a class with one, but doesn't know her name or chapter. Someone met one at a party once. Another person heard about one from a friend of a friend. Thomas knows that at least one lesbian sorority sister does exist; she's a friend who came out to him after they'd left the University. But she didn't want to talk about her experiences, and Thomas said her sorority would never have allowed her to come out while she was in school. Windmeyer and Case both said fraternities were, in general, more accepting than sororities, but that neither was a perfect environment. Seventy percent of the respondents to Case's survey reported encountering homophobic and heterocentrist attitudes, actions and stereotypes. Strikingly, 85 percent also reported enjoying greek life. Case attributes this discrepancy to the nature of the negative experiences. In Out on Fraternity Row, Shane Windmeyer anthology of essays on gay greek life, one man described the way his fraternity brothers talked about gay people. "My ears became attuned to the references... not once did I hear a positive one. The word 'fag' came up as a derogatory term in every other sentence with certain brothers." he wrote. Most people in Case's survey described situations like this. They heard gay jokes, heard criticism of homosexuality and saw discrimination of recruits based on perceived sexuality. The key, Case said, was that few of these actions were directed at the respondents. The same men who threw around identity as an insult overwhelmingly supported their fellow member when he told them he was one of "those fags." He had already been accepted as an individual and a member of their chapter. They attacked the faceless stereotype, but they accepted the brother. Case's survey is nearly 10 years old, and he said perceptions had changed. The Greek system, he says, is a mirror of cultural change rather than a harbinger. Since the 1980s, there has been a cultural shift toward acceptance of gay, lesbian and bisexual people. Greek life today reflects that. paper published a story that quoted the president of the university's chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon on what he thought of gay members: "Ew, that's disgusting." In the early '80s at Loyola University, New Orleans, the school In 1998, members of that same chapter talked the Sigma Phi Epsilon national senate into adopting a non-discrimination clause that included sexuality. Shane Windmeyer's Web site, www.Lambda10.org, lists 19 fraternities that include sexual orientation in their anti-discrimination clauses, and one sorority, Delta Delta Delta, which adopted the clause in 2002. Not all Greek organizations have done this, but Case attributes that mostly to oversight. The subject just hasn't been brought up by anyone in the organizations. When a member suggests the clause should be amended, it almost always is, often without a fight. That person becomes a pole that attracts other members. Case said people understood discrimination against queer members was wrong, but didn't feel comfortable saying so until someone else did. He said he thought acceptance was increasing because society was changing and making it more acceptable for people to stand up. Windmeyer, on the other hand, is waiting for the backlash. He expects society, and the Greek system, to become less accepting of gays and lesbians in response to court decisions favoring the expansion of queer rights. The backlash won't last forever, he said, but it's something that happened to the civil-rights movement after decisions such as Brown vs. Board of Education. Ouer greets need to be prepared. And Thomas? He isn't sure open acceptance will ever happen, at least in Kansas. But he knows his presence made a difference and changed some minds. "They saw I was interested in the things they were," he said. "They saw I wasn't girly or pansy like they might have thought. Basically, they saw I was just like them, but interested in someone different." Thomas is proud of that. The KU greek system is accepting of queer members. That's why Shane Windmeyer was surprised at the dismal turnout when he spoke here three years ago. Queers and Allies and other non-greek students came, but Windmeyer found only three Greeks in the audience. Allies in the closet at KU One of the three, Thomas Franklin, wasn't surprised at all His fraternity accepted his sexuality. He knew the majority of people in Greek system did too, but he also knew better than to expect them to publicly demonstrate it. "KU is a very subversively supportive university," he said. "They're cool as long as it doesn't blatantly point them out as a supporter. They don't want to be labeled as part of that group. Even if they're totally supportive, they don't want to be labeled." Few greek chapters at The University of Kansas would comment on gay and lesbian membership. Angie Carr, coordinator for Fraternity and Sorority Life, said there was a general reluctance to talk about anything that could reflect badly on the groups. Those who were willing to talk said the subject wasn't discussed within the Greek community either. Edited by Ehren Meditz Carr said she didn't think that was a problem. There isn't discussion because there isn't a need, she said. Everyone is already accepting. Some fraternity and sorority members agreed with her, but more said they wished some kind of education was available. If chapters talked about the issue, they could establish protocol for if a member came out and could create an environment where queer members would feel comfortable, said Amber Sellers, Wichita senior and Sigma Gamma Rho president. Windmeyer said silence hurt the Greek system."Fraternities and sororites are suffering because they have a reputation of being rich and white and bigoted and a lot of people don't want to be a part of that," he said. He said this stereotype contributed to a decade-long drop in membership that is only beginning to rebound. During that time, multicultural Greek organizations, including ones for gay, bisexual and progressive men, added chapters all across the country. KU is a very subversively supportive university. They're cool as long as it doesn't blatantly point them out as a supporter." Thomas Franklin Former KU students A lack of education also helps entrench ignorance of queer relationships and people, he said. This is different from homophobia, because people often don't realize what they're saying is hurtful. Sarah Colteryahn is straight, but when a lesbian friend didn't get into Zeta Tau Alpha and she did, the Stillwell senior took her friend to a dance so she could meet other members and maybe get another shot at joining. At the next meeting, Zeta alumni told the chapter that dances were for dates, not girlfriends. When she confronted them afterward, the alumni seemed surprised; it hadn't occurred to them to consider how the statement might hurt a queer member. At Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., gay greek students and straight allies formed Greeks United Against Homophobia, a group that supports education. With members of Greeks United, the university's Panhellenic and Interfraternity Council organizations have organized information sessions during the school year. In addition, all new members have to attend the Delta Series, forums and events that cover topics ranging from alcohol use to how queer issues affect greeks. Kevin Nagel, treasurer of Greeks United, said he'd heard some horror stories, but most people were unconditionally accepted. He came out during recruitment, and so did his boyfriend. They were admitted, together, into Cornell's chapter of Kappa Delta Rho. Because of education, Cornell's Greek community anticipates the presence of gay men and lesbians. Most chapters at the University of Kansas that commented for this story said they had no queer members. Some of them might be right, but William Clayton doubts they all are. The Kansas City, Mo., sophomore is the president of the University's chapter of Alphi Phi Alpha. He said he couldn't speak for the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic chapters, but guaranteed there were closeted queer members in every National Panhellenic Council chapter. The chapters don't think so, he said, but you can either live in fantasyland or be real about it. He said he thought his point of view was the real one, and it fits with Danny Cohn's experience. When Danny came out through a story in The University Daily Kansan, he found himself the secret confidant of a deluge of fraternity men whom no one else knew were gay. All this throws doubt on the assertion that queer membership isn't an issue, Windmeyer said. "They don't want to stick their necks out by having an open discussion," he said. "But they're really sticking their heads in the sand, so to speak." Maggie Koerth THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The student voice. Every day. Blind Date: Kansan Style. Blind Date: Kansan Style.

Catholics infuriated about 'phallic' statue The Associated Press WICHITA — Recruiters from Washburn University have been banned from Catholic high schools in Wichita because the college is displaying a controversial sculpture of a Roman Catholic clergyman. The sculpture, entitled "Holier Than Thou," depicts a grimacing clergyman wearing a miter, which some critics have said resembles a penis. The artist, Jerry Boyle, has said he didn't intend to offend Catholics and he did not make the miter appear like a penis. Principals of all four Catholic high schools in the Wichita diocese have written Washburn, which is a public university. They said they did so without prompting by the diocese. Bob Voboril, superintendent of schools for the Catholic Diocese of Wichita, said those who placed the statue are "clearly seeking to offend and insult Catholics." Washburn officials responded that the sculpture, which is 10 years old, was not meant to attack Catholics. The sculpture was installed in September as part of an art show. It is funded with private gifts and is scheduled to remain until the summer. "We regret that a few individuals are trying to impose their interpretation on all of us," said David Monical, Washburn's executive director of governmental and university relations.

PAGE 3B The University Daily Kansan 1B Thursday, February 5, 2004 Signing day brings skill to team By Kevin Flaherty kflaherty@kansan.com Kansan省运动writer The Kansas football team added 16 players on national signing day yesterday afternoon. Combined with the four junior college players already on campus for the spring semester, the 20 players represent every position on the football field and are named one of the top 50 recruiting classes in the nation by www.rivals.com. Coach Mark Mangino said that City College of San Francisco recruit Jason Swanson at quarterback, reminded him of former quarterback Bill Whitte more. Swanson will be joined by Marcus Herford, who was named the nation's 25th best dual-threat quarterback by www.rivals.com. "He's not a real big guy, but he's very intelligent," Mangino said. "He is mobile and can make plays happen with his arm, legs and intelligence." Despite the athleticism to play multiple positions, he will start his Jayhawk career at quarterback, Mangino said. 2004 KANSAS FOOTBALL RECRUITS Kansas signed the seventh best all-purpose running back in Gary Green II according to www.rivals.com. Green is one player Mangino said could turn into a star. OFFENSIVE RECRUITS The only wide receiver Kansas signed was Dexton Fields out of Dallas. Fields set a state record with five touchdown passes in a game as a high school senior. QB Marcus Herford DeSoto, Tex. DE Jermail Ashley Fort Worth, Tex. (JUCO) QB Jason Swanson San Diego, Calif. (JUCO) DE Chariton Keith Akron, Ohio (JUCO) RB Gary Green II San Antonio, Tex. DT James McClinton Garland, Tex. WR Dexton Fields Dallas, Tex. DL Anthony Collins Beaumont, Tex. TE Josh Lawrence Lawrence (Walk-On) LB Mike Rivera Shawnee TE Jim Reuber Plano, Tex. CB Theo Baines Rosenburg, Tex. (JUCO) OL Ryan Cantrell Sugarland, Tex. CB Aqib Talib Richardson, Tex. OL Todd Haselhorst Olathe S Raymond Brown St. Louis, Mo. OL Scott Haverkamp Silver Lake S Rodney Harris Jr. Fontana, Calif. (JUCO-Sophomore) PK Jeff Edwards Lenexa (Walk-On) P/K Kyle Tucker Katy, Tex. The lack of offensive line depth was a worry for Mangino. He responded by adding three high school offensive linemen, including two of the top linemen in Kansas, Scott Haverkamp and Todd Haselhorst. Haselhorst could also wind up at defensive tackle, Mangino said. Mangino said he felt the team only needed one high school defensive tackle, and James McClinton fits the bill. McClinton was named the third best defensive tackle in Texas by www.rivals.com and the 18th best player in the Dallas area by the Dallas Morning News. Defensive end was a larger concern as the Jayhawks often failed to pressure the passer from the outside last season. The other defensive end is Charlton Keith. Keith started as defensive end for Jermail Ashley is enrolled at Kansas for the spring and is a skilled passrusher. Ashley recovered from an early injury to land four sacks and 14 quarterback pressures. Minnesota, but when coaches wanted switched him to linebacker, Keith transferred to a Minnesota junior college to continue playing defensive end. Chris Dawson, Kansas strength coach, was at Minnesota when Keith started there. Mangino said that Dawson convinced him to recruit Keith. Keith was a late add to the Kansas class, recruited only a few weeks before signing day. weeks before winter. Mike Rivera represents the only linebacker in this class. Rivera was one of the first commits for Kansas in the early fall. He brings size, 6-feet-3-inches and 250 pounds, and speed, 4.6 seconds in the 40-yard-dash, to the linebacker position. Rivera is also competing with Haselhorst to be the top shot-putter in Kansas. Kansas signed four defensive backs; two cornerbacks and two safeties. The junior college players, cornerback Theo Baines and safety Rodney Harris, Jr. are expected to step in almost immediately. Mangino said Baines, Ashley's teammate at Tyler Community College was posting impressive numbers in the weight room. Kansas also added two tight ends and two kickers to the roster. Kansas football notebook Often it's not who you get but who you lose. This year's losses were Brouce Mompremer and Alan Erving. Mompremer, *Rivals.com*'s number 13 ranked outside linebacker, signed with South Florida yesterday even though he had committed to Kansas when he visited in late January. Erving fell one course shy of finishing junior college in December. He signed a letter of intent with the Jayhawks, but because he didn't qualify, he was dropped from the recruits. Gary Green II is quick, and it's in his blood. Gary Green Sr. played defensive back for the Chiefs. Mangino said Green could play defensive back, although he is a talented running back. SEE SIGNING ON PAGE 8B sports commentary --- Kevin Flanerty kflaherty@kansan.com Mangino's recruiting successful Football Coach Mark Mangino's recruiting this year was successful for several reasons. The Jayhawks landed a top-notch defensive tackle, running back and junior college quarterback while adding depth at several different positions. Mangino also struggled at positions of need such as cornerback and defensive tackle. Here is a breakdown of the class. Biggest Catch While both Gary Green II and Jason Swanson were huge signings, the most important catch was defensive tackle James McClinton. The Jayhawks struggled on the defensive line last season, and McClinton, as the third best defensive tackle in Texas, could help out immediately. SEE RECRUITING ON PAGE 8B KANSHI Jared Soares/Kansan Freshman guard Omar Wilkes celebrated a free throw by junior guard Aaron Miles during the second half of Kansas' victory against Missouri. Wilkes is the son of Los Angeles Laker great Jamaal Wilkes. Lack of playing time doesn't bother guard By Ryan Green rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Coach Bill Self unloaded some of his rarely-used reserves off the bench, but freshman guard Omar Wilkes remained seated in his warmups. Then the student section kicked in. With six minutes remaining in Kansas' Jan. 25 matchup with Colorado at Allen Fieldhouse, the Jayhawks had the game won. His girlfriend began crying out of happiness, but Wilkes was embarrassed. He didn't want his coach to feel pressure to put him in the game. It's an example of the team-first attitude Wilkes has taken as he is learning by watching from the bench as a freshman, despite sporadic frustration. "We want Omar, We want Omar, We want Omar..." "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't, but I've been handling it maturely, at least I think I am," Wilkes said. "I anticipated to play a little bit more, but you never really know what you're going to get with life. That's why Forrest said it's 'like a box of chocolates.'" On the floor, Self puts Wilkes and fellow freshman guard Jeremy Case in the same category, as players who must show improvement in practice to earn minutes on the floor. Case saw some significant time towards the end of the first half against Missouri. To Self, Case is a point guard and Wilkes is more of a wingman, but they must follow the same procedure most first-year players do. The guard from Los Angeles also never knew what he was going to get when he spurned local schools such as Cal, Stanford and UCLA to go halfway across the country to play for the Jayhawks—on and off the court. "You come in with great expectations and you play early because competition allows you to," Self said. "If you don't play well, you can get frustrated and lose your confidence. Then you get into conference play and there is no more opportunities for experiment. You can either get frustrated or you can use everyday in practise as a time to get better and improve for the future." Wilkes also learns a lot from his teammates. One in particular who he identifies with is junior guard Michael Lee. Lee played just 89 minutes in 27 games as a freshman, scoring a total of just 33 points. He blossomed as a sophomore to average 4.9 points per game in 37 contests, and became one of the Jayhawks' most clutch shooters. "He tells me to just stay confident and know I can play," Wilkes said. Jayhawks routed by Red Raiders By Jesse Newell jnewell@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter "The players got kind of intimidated by the crowd," said Lynette Woodard, interim coach. "We just really couldn't get anything running." The Kansas women found it is even tougher when you shot 34 percent from the field. Woodward suffered her first loss as head coach after taking over for Marian Washington last week. Boasting an undefeated record at home, and drawing more than 12,000 fans per game, the Texas Tech women's basketball team makes the United Spirit Arena a tough place to play. The Jayhawks never found their flow offensively and lost 67-44 to the No. 9 Red Raiders in Lubbock, Tex., in front of 12,562 fans. The 44 points were the fewest by Kansas this season. Kansas hung close early on thanks to a Kandis Bonner lay-up that closed the gap to 10-13 after six minutes of play. But, the Jayhawks could not keep pace. Texas Tech guard, Alesha Robertson, connected on a three-pointer to start an 11-1 Red Raider run, pushing the Texas Tech lead to 13 points. "We called timeouts and were running our sets." Woodard said, "but we just lost focus and free-lanced most of the way." The lack of execution hurt the Jay hawks, as they managed just seven points in the final 14 minutes of the half trailing 34-17 into the break. Woodard said she would look to instill more confidence in her team before its meeting with Nebraska on Saturday. "They just have to realize." Woodard said, "that they can play with anyone if they discipline themselves." Ervin's status for Saturday's game against Nebraska will be determined later this week in a meeting with Woodard. Kansas showed new life in the second half, reeling off six straight points after a driving lay-in by guard Aquanita Burras. Without Ervin, forward Tamara Ransburg rose to the occasion. The sophomore scored 13 points in 22 minutes to lead the layhawks. Grant, who averages just over six points per game, scored 14 of Texas Tech's next 26 points to stretch the lead to 62-36. Texas Tech — and especially guard Erin Grant — responded. The 5-foot-8 Grant, scored a careerhigh 27 points on 10-of-13 shooting and added six assists. She also dropped in a pair of three-pointers, doubling her season total. The freshman, who is averaging 7.7 points and 6.9 rebounds off the bench, did not make the trip to Lubbock with the team, citing personal reasons for her absence. Kansas (9-10, 2-6) played the game without the services of forward Lauren Ervin. — Edited by Paul Kramer KANSAS (9-10) NO.9 TEXAS TECH 67, KANSAS 44 KANSAS (9-10) Waltz 0-3 0-0 0 Kemp 2-11 4-6 8 Ransburg 5-12 3-4 13 Burras 5-9 0-1 10 Graves 3-8 1-1 7 Smith 0-3 0-0 0 Brown 0-0 0-0 0 Menguc 0-0 0-0 0 Hallman 1-3 0-0 2 Roberts 0-1 0-0 0 Bonner 2-3 0-0 4 Totals 18-53 8-12 44 TEXAS TECH (19-3) LK TO SPORTS; Contact Henry C.

Or perhaps it's all those years of scrapes at Indiana. Whatever the case, Bob Knight seems to be handling himself differently these days. this week, the coach acknowledged he was partially to blame for a verbal spat with Texas Tech's chancellor. Last month, he apologized for an expletive-ridden tirade during a television interview that coincided with the national broadcast of a Red Raiders game. Knight's temper and outburst still surface. But so far there have been no chairs, punches or even salad thrown in anger — at least publicly — during his three years at Texas Tech. Art Angotti, who did a radio show with Knight in Indiana for eight years, has noticed a change. "When his emotions seem to get the best of him in Lubbock, he is very quick to recognize it and he has apologized," Angotti said Wednesday. "When he was here and it would get away from him, he'd stop going to press conferences. He'd kind of withdraw." Knight was reprimanded but not suspended Tuesday for his verbal spat with chancelor Dr. David Smith a day earlier at an upscale Lubbock grocery store. Hours later, Knight guided the No. 19 Red Raiders over Baylor 83-63. Knight didn't take questions about the episode during his postgame news conference Tuesday night. Still, he talked about it and admitted having been partially at fault. Knight said Smith followed him to the side of the salad bar and said, "You've got issues. What are they?" "Right then is where I think I was at fault. I should have shook my head, walked away, done a lot of other things, and I didn't," Knight said. "I went on to tell him what one of those issues was and then it got back and Knight said he "absolutely did not instigate anything." forth a little bit." Smith wasn't available to comment Wednesday. When reached at his home late Tuesday night, he declined to comment. The reprimand was Knight's first punishment from Tech. He was hired in March 2001, six months after he was fired by Indiana for what thenschool president Myles Brand called his "pattern of unacceptable behavior." In his 29 years at Indiana, he won three national championships and 11 Big 10 Championship titles. Yet he's also remembered for throwing a chair across a court, punching a police officer in Puerto Rico and kicking a chair his son, then a player, was sitting in. He also was accused of choking a player. Knight said he would have ridden out a suspension had Tech decided on that discipline. He said he didn't eat or sleep much after the incident. TEXAS Texas Tech basketball coach Bobby Knight instructed guard Will Chavis during first half action in the Red Raiders' game against William and Mary at the United Spirit Arena in Lubbock, Texas, on Friday, Nov. 16, 2001. SPORTS COMMENTARY Smith at fault as much as Knight for grocery store spat Chancellor's praise more of an insult in coach's mind By Dan Wetzel Yahoo! Sports national columnist I'm not saying Bob Knight should have gotten into a public argument with David Smith, the chancellor of Texas Tech and Knight's superior. Getting into a public spat with your boss is risky behavior. Better to grin and bear it and then take it behind closed doors. But then again, what the heck was David Smith thinking? Knight was at the salad bar and Smith complimented Knight on doing a good job conducting himself this season. Knight responded that he thought he had conducted himself well for the past three seasons and then went around to the other side of the salad bar. The details are fuzzy and likely will remain fuzzy. But from what I have been told and can gather, Smith ran into Knight at a local lunch spot. Smith followed and asked if Knight thought the two men had issues that should be discussed. And it went from there, with both men, who both have eyes and are not close friends to begin with, shouting at each other. absolutely no common sense. By Monday night Smith had given Knight an ultimatum: Take a five-day suspension or be fired. Technically, Smith had the right to do all of this. But in doing so he exhibited some horrendous management skills and showed A restaurant is no place to provide a performance evaluation or to discuss issues between a boss and an employee. How would you like to be having lunch (with others around) and have your boss come by and basically say, "Hey, thanks for not screwing up lately"? Not congratulations on having a top 15 team, a roster full of good kids and a sold-out arena. I'd be angry, too. And I'm not Bob Knight. The fact that Smith thought this was a good approach to take with The General bolsters my long-held belief that the dumbest person on most college campuses is the chancellor. Sure, he has a bunch of doctorates, but basically he gets to the top by kissing up to the right people. Who in their right mind provokes Bob Knight? Any good boss knows the personalities, strengths and weaknesses of his employees. Some people need kid gloves. Others need strenuous motivating. Some should just be left alone. It's no different on a college campus. Whether it is the brilliant yet self-conscious scientist or the volatile-yet-talented Hall of Fame basketball coach. You don't push the scientist to attend a lot of alumni functions and speak at graduation. You let him hide in his laboratory and try to win the school a Nobel Prize. That is his job. Let him do it. With Knight, you just let him coach basketball. I was in Lubbock just over a week ago for a game against the University of Texas. The United Spirit Arena had a record crowd of 15,250, national television was in the house and the school was receiving immense publicity that can't be bought. Knight has put together a top team, a real Final Four contender come March. He has energized the alumni and student body. His players seem like terrific representatives of the school, a bunch of likable, tough-minded kids. Knight has raised millions of dollars not just for the athletic department coffers but also the school library. Just this week Knight got Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to come to West Texas and speak to the law school. He is a big deal in little Lubbock. He is doing everything he was hired to do. A chancellor that goods him - or is too naive to realize he is goading him - is not a good chancellor. A boss that can't determine the appropriate place for this discussion is just as at fault as the employee who doesn't take it the right way, perhaps even more at fault because of his superior position. Should Knight have smiled politely, taken the comment and arranged a meeting later where he calmly could have discussed his feelings on being approached that way? Of course. But anyone who knows anything about Bob Knight knows that isn't how he operates. So why didn't his boss know that as well?

Boulder County District Attorney Mary Keenan has requested depositions given in a lawsuit filed by Lisa Simpson, who alleges she was assaulted at the 2001 off-campus party. The request, disclosed Tuesday, came amid a widening uproar caused by Keenan's allegation that Colorado's football program used sex to help recruit promising high school players. and said they plan to create a panel to investigate. A member of the Board of CU officials deny the charge PAGE Regents, which oversees the university, suggested Tuesday that more control over the panel's makeup be given to the governor and the Colorado Legislature. Keenan said last year she would not file sexual assault charges in Simpson's case, citing the difficulty of prosecuting date rape allegations. On Tuesday, Keenan said the case has never been closed because of a 10-year statute of limitations on such cases. She said the depositions, which are pretrial testimony, may not be useful but she wants They include statements from those at the party. to review them. Keenan's allegation about the use of sex in recruiting came in her own deposition in that lawsuit. The allegation, made public last week, led Gov. Bill Owens and state lawmakers to demand an accounting. CU President Betsy Hoffman promised to launch an inquiry. But Regent Jim Martin said Owens and the Legislature should appoint two-thirds of the members. Hoffman wants the Regents to appoint the eight-member commission, including co-chairs she recommends. "To leave it up to the university is unwise," he said. Pro Bowl halftime altered Super Bowl fiasco leads to changing of performance The Associated Press HONOLULU — Waves from the Janet Jackson Super Bowl fiasco reached Hawaii yesterday, as the NFL banned one of Justin Timberlake's bandmates from the Pro Bowl halftime show. The NFL bounced JC Chasez The NFL bounced JC Chasez — a member of the boy band 'N Sync — from Sunday's halftime because of Jackson and Timberlake's breast-baring exhibition, said Brian McCarthy, a spokesman for the NFL's annual all-star game, which will be televised live on ESPN. The current single from Chasez's debut album is "Some The new halftime plan is for a Hawaiian extravaganza featuring hula dancers, drummers, conch shell blowers and local singers. Girls (Dance With Women)." Another of his songs is "All Day Long I Dream About Sex." It was unclear what song he was to perform at the Pro Bowl. "The commissioner said Monday morning that we will change our policies and procedures as it relates to entertainment during our games." McCarthy said. "This is immediate action that reflects that approach." stunt that went awry. Timberlake ripped off a piece of Jackson's outfit, exposing one of her breasts covered only with a sun-shaped "nipple shield." He blamed a "wardrobe malfunction" and she issued two apologies, saying it was a last-minute Chasez issued a statement yesterday through Gina Orr, publicist for 'N Sync's label, Jive Records in Los Angeles. Chasez was also scheduled to perform before the Pro Bowl. Orr said she couldn't immediately say whether Chasez would still sing the national anthem. "No one could be more disappointed than I that the NFL has canceled my halftime performance at the Pro Bowl this coming Sunday." Chasez said. "I've told the NFL I understand the pressure that they are under since the Super Bowl." Local singing duo Amy Hanaiali'i Gilliam and Willie K., will perform a new song called "Welcome to My Paradise," as well as a new theme song for the Pro Bowl. Seasons of losses pay off for Pats The Associated Press That makes it all the more satisfying to see the team celebrate two Super Bowl titles in three seasons. FOXBORO, Mass. — Like many New England Patriots fans, Jerry Baldwin suffered through the lean years of last-place finishes and missing the playoffs. "It's great to be a Patriots fan now," Baldwin, a 42-year-old fan from Pawtucket, R.I., said as he joined his wife and two sons in snapping up souvenirs at the team's bustling shop. A young team that should only improve with experience, the Patriots have seven picks in the first four rounds of April's NFL draft and face a problem any team would love: How can the Patriots possibly fit all those players into an already deep, talented team? The burden for improving a team that was 21-2 in exhibition, regular-season and playoff games falls on coach Bill Belichick and Scott Pioli, the vice president of player personnel! In Robert Kraft's 10 years as owner, the Patriots have had seven winning seasons, three Super Bowl appearances and two championships. In the previous 34 years, they had just 16 winning seasons and one Super Bowl game, a 46-10 loss to Chicago in 1986. The Patriots do have some needs. Punter Ken Walter struggled most of the season, a new running back could improve on the production of Antowain Smith and Kevin Faulk, and the backup safety position needs help. The Patriots have 20 unrestricted free agents, led by Woody, Faulk, nose tackle Ted Washington, and defensive end Bobby Hamilton. ...

If there is a message, it's more about how people can be manipulated by their leaders, Maia Morgenstern said Tuesday. "Mel Gibson is an artist, a director. He never imposed his religious convictions on anyone." Morgenstern, who is Jewish, said in an interview with The Associated Press, rejecting criticism that the film will fuel anti-Semitism. The film is to be released Ash Wednesday, Feb.25. Gibson, who directed, co-wrote and financed the $25 million film, has denied that his movie maligns Jews. However, it has drawn complaints from those who say it blames Jews for Christ's death. "When people go and see the film, they will (primarily) see a work of art," Morgenstern said. Muslims, atheists, Christians and Jews worked on the film but race and religion were never an issue, said the 42-year-old actress. Any political message the film offers is "about the responsibility and impact political and military leaders can have in manipulating the masses and interfering in people's conscience, particularly at a moment of crisis as it was then," said Morgenstern. "The Roman occupation was terrible and people were very poor. Pontius Pilate was very afraid that there could be a real revolution," she said, referring to the Roman governor of Judea who caved to the pressures of a mob and allowed Jesus to be crucified. Morgenstern, known both for her outstanding work in theater and film, is Romania's most renowned actress, but her popularity has been generally restricted to Europe. She has starred in about 30 movies, the best known being The Oak Tree, a Romanian-French production, and Ulysses' Gaze, a Greek film. Morgenstern, whose grandfather died in the Auschwitz death camp, spoke glowingly of Gibson, praising his professional abilities and the kindness he showed when her daughter became ill in Romania. Gibson sent her home to spend time with the child, and then allowed the 3-year-old to join her on the set. 'Passion'ad accepted with changes The Associated Press DALLAS — Fear, anger and deceit will replace torture, murder and adultery on a 30-second screen ad produced by the Baptist General Convention of Texas wording changes that prompted AMC Theatres to drop its objections to the ad yesterday. The 2 million-member convention produced the ad to coincide with the Feb. 25 opening of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ. However, AMC had refused to accept it, saying it violated the company's screen advertising guidelines. "We're pretty serious about keeping our pre-feature materials G-rated, so to speak," AMC Entertainment Inc. spokesman Rick King said yesterday. "The guideline conflict that we had was that we had language that used violent and sexual terminology." The changes should make the ad "suitable for all of our screens," King said. Becky Bridges, communications director for the association of 5,700 Texas Baptist churches, said King called and offered the compromise Wednesday, a day after The Associated Press reported on the ad dispute. "The guideline conflict that we had was that we had language that used violent and sexual terminology." Rick King AMC Entertainment Inc. spokesman "It's a great result and I'm very excited," Bridges said. Baptist leaders had offered last week to soften the ad wording, but that did not appease AMC officials at the time, Bridges said. King told her he was unaware of the earlier efforts at compromise. King said AMC, based in Kansas City, Mo., was "very concerned that this was being perceived as an unfriendly message from AMC to the Baptist community. That's certainly not reflective of our posture and certainly not what we intended to convey." Like many Christian groups, Texas Baptists hope to take advantage of the publicity generated by Gibson's film, which is set to open on 2,000 screens nationwide on Ash Wednesday. The black-and-white ad opens with a young man asking: "You want to see the most scandalous story ever?" In the original version, these words then flash on and off the screen: "Betrayal. Sin. Adultery. Greed. Envy. Weakness. Poverty. Torture. Murder." "Redemption," the actor says. The ad ends with the message "Now playing at a Baptist church near you" above a Baptist General Convention of Texas logo. Regal Entertainment Group of Knoxville, Tenn., whose holdings include United Artist theaters, earlier accepted the ad. "The advertisement meets all of our standards and guidelines." Regal spokeswoman Lauren Elf said this week. "There's no reason why we wouldn't run it." Texas Baptists plan to run the ad—with the original wording—on about 200 Regal theater screens in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio, Bridges said. At a cost of about $40,000, the ad will run for four weeks starting the Friday before the opening of Gibson's movie. Once the compromise is finalized, the convention also hopes to show the modified ad on about 150 AMC screens in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Bridges said the convention approached theater chains that it knows accept regional advertising and don't require a national contract. After news of AMC's concerns arose, officials with Cinemark theaters called and offered to work out a regional deal, Bridges said. Whether that happens will depend on costs. Gibson's movie, with dialogue in Latin and Aramaic and English subtitles, is set to open on 2,000 screens nationwide — an unusually large release for an independent religious film made in dead languages. Super Bowl exposure makes 'ER' remove scene The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Janet Jackson's revealing Super Bowl halftime moment has created fallout for ER, with NBC removing a glimpse of an elderly patient's breast in today's episode. The network said yesterday it had "unfortunately concluded that the atmosphere created by this week's events has made it too difficult for many of our affiliates to air this shot." NBC's decision was criticized by John Wells, the executive producer of the popular and longrunning medical drama, who said such "affiliate overreactions" have a "chilling effect" on dramatic integrity. In a statement, Wells called the jackson incident at last Sunday's SuperBowl "inappropriate and deplorable on a broadcast intended for viewers of all ages." But "the incidental exposure of an elderly woman's breast in the context of a medical trauma is not comparable," he said. Viewers advised of a show's adult content are capable of "making the distinction and adjusting their viewing habits accordingly," he said. "This type of network behavior is one of the primary reasons that so many of today's producers and viewers are increasingly turning to HBO and other cable outlets that do not censor responsible storytelling," Wells said. In its statement, NBC agreed that the scene, in which an 80-year-old woman receives emergency treatment, is "appropriate and in context" and noted it would have aired late in the evening, after 9:30 p.m. But the network said it couldn't ignore the furor that followed a musical number in which Justin Timberlake pulled off part of Jackson's costume, exposing her breast to 89 million viewers. After consulting with its affiliate board, the network asked the producers of ER to remove the nudity. Jackson took responsibility, saying it was a surprise stunt that went too far. The one-second nudity provoked complaints from viewers and an investigation by the Federal Communications Commission which, potentially, could expose CBS and its affiliates to millions of dollars in fines. CBS, which is airing Sunday's Grammy Awards, said it would implement a video delay system to avoid similar problems. COLUMBUS, Ohio — A generation of Americans doesn't know the exhilarating win dubbed the "Miracle on Ice" or the tale behind sportscaster Al Michaels' breathless call, "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!" The Associated Press Movie 'Miracle' focuses on coach Jim Craig wants an upcoming movie to change that. "It's a wonderful love story about guys who have this dream, a coach who has a vision and a country that needed uplifting," said Craig, the goaltender of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team. The star of the movie is not the scrappy team, but its legendary coach. "Miracle," which opens Friday nationwide, tells the story of 20 fresh-faced college kids who upset the seemingly unstoppable Soviets 4-3 en route to a gold medal at the Olympics in Lake Placid, N.Y. "It's the Herb Brooks story and we just happened to be a part of it," team captain Mike Eruzione said. Director Gavin O'Connor wanted real hockey players to portray the athletes, so most of the "actors" are former college or junior league hockey players. Longtime hockey player and first-time actor Patrick O'Brien Demsey took on Eruzione's role. Left wing Buzz Schneider is portrayed by his son Billy. Kurt Russell portrays the icy intensity and calculated aloofness of Brooks, who died in last August in a car crash in Minnesota. Eddie Cahill, best known for his recurring role as Rachel Green's assistant on "Friends," plays Craig. Just six months before the 1980 Olympics, Brooks stitched together players from Minnesota, Boston and frozen places in between. "We played 60 games in three months. An NHL season, at least when I played, had 80 in nine months, so you can envision how vigorous the training was," Craig said after a recent appearance at a Columbus Blue Jackets game to promote the film. The significance of the victory during the Cold War extended beyond sports. Iranian revolutionaries were holding 52 Americans hostage at the U.S. embassy in Tehran. Watergate, the Vietnam War, high interest rates and a gasoline shortage led President Jimmy Carter to say America was experiencing a "crisis that strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will." "When you're in the Olympics and you're playing another country the intensity is incredible. It's our way of life versus someone else's," Craig said. The Americans only hoped to avoid being embarrassed at home by the mighty Soviet machine. The Russians had won gold medals the last 20 years with waves of robotic squadrons that didn't even smile after scoring goals. Three days before the opening ceremony, the two teams played an exhibition game at Madison Square Garden. The Soviets won 10-3. "We were way strong. Nobody doubted that. We were professionals and they were just students." Soviet starting goalie Vladislav Tretiak said in the 2001 HBO documentary "Do You Believe in Miracles? The Story of the 1980 U.S. Hockey Team." "Simply put, we did not respect their team and you cannot do that in hockey," he said. On Feb. 22, 1980, the Americans were down 3-2 going into the third period. Mark Johnson netted a goal to even the score, and 81 seconds later Eruzione added another. The frenzied crowd of 8,500 chanted "USA! USA!" But the players and Brooks could only bite their lips and glance nervously at the scoreboard. There were still 10 minutes left. "The Russians had won so many games in their careers in the last two minutes, last five minutes, so 10 minutes _ it was like a lifetime," Craig said. Many people still get chills when they remember the last seconds of the game ticking away, the famous call by Michaels, the young team spilling onto the ice with sticks and fists raised, mouths wide with screams of victory. They didn't realize the rest of the country was celebrating, too. "We weren't allowed to talk to the media, so we didn't even know people were watching. When we got out in the countryside, that's when we realized it was pretty special," Eruzione said. "Seeing people lining the streets in Washington, the letters, the fan mail _ it was kind of shocking." Producers Gordon Gray and Mark Ciardi said they were inspired by the victory that Sports Illustrated named the greatest sports moment of the 20th century.

Not so for Missouri's Gary Pinkel. Coming off the school's first bowl appearance in five seasons. Missouri got almost everybody it wanted yesterday and came close to sealing the state borders. The Tigers, 8-5 last year, secured commitments from 14 of the top 16 players in the state, according to www.rivals.com. They also garnered five of the top six players on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's list of top 30 area recruits. And, the end game went smoothly. "It's interesting," Pinkel said. "Most of the players that we just signed, the signings and the phone calls and the faxes were completed, almost all of them, by 9 o'clock this morning." The lone exception was defensive lineman George Lane of College of Sliskiyou, a junior college in Weed, Calif., who signed a couple of hours later. That state is in the Pacific Time Zone, two hours behind Missouri. beyond Mississippi. The jewels of this year's 24-man class are a pair of quarterbacks who'll vie to be the successor to Brad Smith, a junior next year. Chase Patton of Columbia Rock Bridge and Darrell Jackson of Webster Groves both are among the top recruits in the country at that position. county at a local office Jackson accounted for 52 touchdowns as a senior, throwing for 25 and running for 27. Patton, rated higher by most recruiting services, threw for 30 touchdowns. "No matter where they go they're going to have to compete with somebody," said Dave Yost, Missouri's quarterback coach as well as the recruiting coordinator. "This is where they wanted to go." The in-state signings are a result of significant improvements in relationship-building by Pinkel and his staff. When Pinkel arrived three years ago, succeeding Larry Smith as coach, he said Missouri had a lot of work to do. "The breakdown between the high schools and the University of Missouri was as bad as I've ever seen," Pinkel said. "The attitude was as negative as I could ever have imagined." "I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just telling you like it is, and so we've worked real hard at earning trust." Yesterday the Tigers hope they got rewarded for the effort. Besides its in-state haul, Missouri also signed nine players from Texas and one from Oklahoma. It's difficult if not impossible to project how high school kids will do in college, but www.rivals.com rated Missouri's recruiting class 25th in the country. "I'm excited about the class." Pinkel said. "I don't know of any coach in America that would not come up and start and with that statement. "Our philosophy was we wanted to get 90 percent of the best players in the state and don't do that one year but year after year after year, and that gives us the opportunity from a recruiting base to build a national program." The class includes four sets of teammates. Patton and linebacker Van Alexander are from Columbia Rock Bridge, and Missouri also got a pair of players from John Jay High School in San Antonio, Texas, Kansas City Rockhurst and Ryan High School in Denton, Texas. Alexander, rated the number eight linebacker prospect in the country by www.rivals.com, was the first member of this class to commit in November of his junior season. season. "I know Van was going to do everything he could to get Chase to be his teammate," Yost said. All but one of the players, Lane, was listed on the announcement sheet with both an offensive and defensive position. That gives the school, which signed four quarterbacks but likely will move the other two to defense, a measure of flexibility. "How we handle it in our program, every player starts where he wants to line," Pinkel said. "If an offensive lineman wants to play quarterback I might frown on that, but they're going to start where they want to start." BASKETBALL: Wilkes remains confident he will be important to team CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B It will take more effort on Wilkes' part to earn playing time than he had originally thought, but he says that he does not regret his decision to come to Kansas for one minute, and he has no plans of transferring. "There's so many things going for me that I'm not going to let playing time deteriorate my feelings," Wilkes said. "I'm pretty happy with the way things are transpiring right now." When Wilkes was recruited out of high school, former Kansas coach Roy Williams made suggestions about his playing time as a freshman. When Williams left Kansas for North Carolina, Wilks stuck to his commitment, and is glad he did, as he loves playing for coach Bill Self, and loves Lawrence. Wilkes is just fine now acting like a typical University of Kansas freshman. He from time-to-time gets homesick, but his father, former UCLA and Los Angeles Lakers standout Jamaal Wilkes, has helped him with all of the adjustments he has had to make in life and basketball. "He has a lot of advice because he has so much knowledge of the game and played it for so long." Wilkes said. "He takes a fatherly role trying to comfort me. He believes in his heart of hearts that things will come together for me." His father is not the only one telling Wilkes to hang in there. He receives just as much encouragement from the student body that has made him one of the local fan favorites. "It's like we have a thousand coach Selfs out there," Wilkes said. "I've been told that I was Jesus Christ and was going to lead us to the promised land." Wilkes got a good laugh, and still does, every time he thinks of the comment. While he's no savior, it's nice to have something to shoot for. Kansas Basketball Notebook Lineup Solidified — Bill Self announced at yesterday's press conference that freshman forward David Padgett will be the team's permanent starter, replacing senior Jeff Graves, unless his left foot injury becomes a problem again. Against Missouri, in his first starting assignment since returning from the injury, Padgett had six points and six rebounds in 26 minutes. Giddens OK — Freshman guard J.R. Giddens ended any concerns about his left knee, which forced JONE 24 Freshman guard Omar Wilkes cut through a hoard of Colorado defenders in Allen Fieldhouse Jan. 25. Wilkes played six minutes against the Buffaloes. him to hobble off the court following the Missouri game Monday night, saying it's not an injury worth noting. "It just gave out a little bit," he said. "That sucks, but it's all gravy." Edited by Collin LaJoie RECRUITING: Jayhawk football fills crucial roles on signing day CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B "I don't want to put that type of pressure on him, but the potential exists for that to happen," Mangino said. Bigger Loss Losing Bruce Mompremier to South Florida hurt, but Alan Erving not qualifying was the major blow for the Jayhawks. Erving had decent size and would have competed for a starting position. starting position. The Jayhawks were not deep on the offensive line last season and were lucky nobody was injured. One of Mangino's main goals was to improve the depth of the offensive line. The Jayhawks will instead fill the needed spots with the high school signees, Mangino said. Best Athlete of the Class Green was the number seven rated all-purpose running back in the nation and has fantastic speed and quickness. He had San Antonio city records with 442 total yards and seven touchdowns against the defending Texas 5A state champions. He has breakaway speed that enabled him to rush for more than 10 yards per carry as a junior. He also catches the ball well out of the backfield and could be a special teams standout. With the depth at running back, don't be surprised if this moves either Green or Randle over to defensive back. Bingest Sligner This class is packed full of Biggest Sleeper them. Probably the largest unknown is defensive end Charlton Keith. Keith was only added to the Jayhawks recruiting list in the past few weeks because strength coach Chris Dawson knew him from Minnesota. Keith is blazing, and Mangino will give every shot to a defensive end that can pressure the quarterback. sure the quarterback Keith ranked among the Big 10 leaders in sacks as a freshman and was named Freshman All-American. Strong defensive end play from Keith and Jermail Ashley is a must for Kansas' zone defense scheme to work. Defensive lineman Anthony Collins is another late addition. Overall Recruiting Class Mangino did an excellent job with the quarterback position and looks to have a solid core of offensive linemen to plug in. One more defensive tackle would have been nice along with another offensive lineman and another cornerback. The major strength of this class is the athleticism. There are some strong players in this class, but most are unknowns. On first glance this class may not seem to be much and Mangino's development of the sleepers will be key. That's the reason for Rivals rating the class as the number 45 class in the nation. For now though, at face value, this class has a long way to go. Final Grade: C+ Flaherty is a Lenexa senior in Journalism. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B SIGNING: Jayhawks acquire 20 players, have room for more He's not the only player whose father had football experience. Walk-on Josh Lawrence is the son of former Jayhawks guard and current announcer David Lawrence. Punter Kyle Tucker may be one of the more interesting players in the class. Not only will he have a chance to punt next season, he may also win the starting kickoff and field goal kicking positions. Tucker is a multi-talented athlete who also played basketball in high school. ■ When quarterback Adam Barmann suits up against Missouri, he'll have more than a border rivalry against the Tigers. His brother, Brian Barmann, signed a letter of intent yesterday to play tight end or defensive back for Missouri. The brothers are from Weston, Mo. Mangino gave scholarships to three players who were on last season's team. Wide receiver Scott Bajza and offensive linemen Zach Hood and Matt Thompson are now on scholarship. Even with the three new scholarships, Kansas has seven scholarships remaining. Mangino said Kansas will look to sign another one or two players and the rest of the scholarships would be performance-based for walk-ons. Phil Tuihalamaka, former defensive tackle left the team this season after withdrawing from his classes. - Edited by Meghan Brune $15 SPRAY-ON TAN Spray on your tan in seconds!

Defying Dealerships By: Ashley Marriott, Jayplay writer It's the weekend. You're sitting squished in between your two closest friends playing NBA Live 2004, desperately trying to make a comeback as your opponent just scored and tied the game. You dribble down the court. Shoot. Miss. Angry cries from the fans can be heard all around you. With seconds left, your friend steals the ball, runs and slams it in to make the winning basket. As your mouth drops open in disbelief, you yell out to another friend, who is engrossed in Road Trip, to toss you a cold pop from the fridge. Sound like a typical lazy college afternoon? Well, it is. Except there's one catch: You're in the car. For Bill White, Council Grove graduate student, this is a typical road trip. White's Honda Accord is home to two 7-inch television screens, a DVD player, a Sega Saturn, a Microsoft Xbox and a 300-watt inverter with remote power switch plugs so he can plug in a portable cooler. The technology that was once taking over our homes is now rapidly spreading to our cars. Products such as lights that you can coordinate with your mood and tires that change colors depending on the weather were introduced at The North American International Auto Show in Detroit last month. With this increase in products comes an increase in car prices. These gadgets are available in higher end cars, making the price virtually out of reach for most students. "Students can usually only afford new cars with the help of Mommy and Daddy," says Ron Gannaway, sales and leasing consultant for Crown Chevrolet/Oldsmobile-Toyota, 3400 S. Iowa St. White, however, did buy everything himself, one piece at a time. His car now has $10,000 worth of equipment. Although some of his friends question why someone needs two televisions in his car (up until recently it was three). White says he did it more to prove to himself that he could install equipment than for an actual need for the products. "It started off as an audio system at first and then it just got out of hand," says White. White's friend in high school worked at Circuit City in Kansas City and installed audio systems for about $12,000, most of the money being for labor. Knowing he could get the system for a cheaper price, White bought a book on installation and taught himself. Although a few minor wiring problems occurred, everything turned out fine. Even though it is difficult to find other college students' cars that even come close to White's, the same cannot be said about cars belonging to future students of the University of Kansas. Dane Johnson, Overland Park senior at Blue Valley West High School, says that having a decked-out car in high school is a bigger deal than it is in college. Johnson has a 7-inch touch television screen installed in the dash of his Toyota 4Runner. "I basically wanted to have a TV just to have one. I guess I had some extra money lying around," Johnson says. Johnson paid for the system himself with his paychecks from the Blue Valley Recreation Commission. He bought the television on eBay.com for $1,100, but its actual value is over $2,500. He then had it professionally installed at BrandsMart in Overland Park. Johnson's friend, Brett Gatoff, is also planning to install televisions in his Ford Expedition "just for looks." Gatoff, also a Blue Valley West High School senior, says he is saving up his money from his job at Price Chopper in order to invest in screens for the headrests, visor and dash, but is fearful of security when moving to college. Because Johnson plans on installing more television screens before coming to the University next year, he has installed a $520 alarm system that comes with a keypad he can carry with him. A picture of a car is displayed on the keypad and if someone tries to break in the car a light flashes on the pad, notifying Johnson what part of the car is being tampered with. A loud siren sounds on the car and a quieter beep sounds on Johnson's keypad. Gatoff says this is a feature that he will also be looking to purchase after the installation of his new system. White knows all too well that security is an issue because his car has already been broken into twice. "Security is a good deterrent, but people will still jump in and take what they want," he says. Even though they are worried about break ins, all three students plan to pay however much it takes to feed their passion for their cars, no matter how much they have to work to pay for it. "Every time I tell someone about my car, they think it's pretty sweet. They're like, 'Aren't you pretty young to have all that?' But I bought it all myself," Johnson says.

Oh my! The Crossing sure has changed over the years. BEERVOLUTION By: Kevin Kampwirth, Jayplay writer --- s. Head east down Jayhawk Boulevard to Oread Avenue and you'll run directly into 618 W. 12th St. The unusually square-shaped, flat-roofed structure can be seen from as far away as the Kansas Union and, on some days, the drone of its jukebox is audible from the lawn of Watson Library. "Holy God," you think to yourself while walking, "is that friggin' E-Double song the only one they ever play?" E-Double song the entry this week Upon first glance at the wood-paneled facade, you'd think that the building would be reduced to a pile of rubble should a stiff wind suddenly arise. You walk up onto the porch anyway, go inside and order a beer. The graffiti-laden bar top makes it quite clear that Kappa Delta, does in fact, kick ass. Every square inch of wall space bears similar taunts from different fraternities and sororities. As your nausea passes, you eavesdrop on a conversation that the two middle-aged men next to you are engaged in. "Man, this place just ain't what it used to be, I tell you what," one says. What this place really is varies depending on who you're talking to. The Rock Chalk Cafe. The New Haven. The Flagship International. The Ark. The Catfish Bar and Grill. The Hawk's Crossing. You and I simply know it as The Crossing. --wife, Peggy, who still lives in Lawrence, said that when they first bought the Rock Chalk, you could order a hamburger for 15 cents and a beer for a quarter. It was during this time in the mid-1950s that the Beat culture began to burgeon. The Rock Chalk became a popular hangout for Beatniks in Lawrence, and it is even rumored that there are pictures of Alan Ginsburg and William Burroughs sitting in front of the building. Early history and details are sketchy, but accounts of the building date as far back as 1920 when it served as a malt and burger shop. The design, which has changed numerous times over the years, was radically different originally. When it was known as the Rock Chalk Cafe, the building resembled a classic diner. It wasn't until Virgil Cooper bought the Rock Chalk in 1954 that it began selling beer. Cooper's The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house was located behind the Rock Chalk in those days so Pike members would often hang out there, too. Wayne Propst, who worked at and frequented the Rock Chalk in the late 1960s and early 1970s, recalls hearing stories about its Beatnik days. "It was just a completely different time and place," Propst says. "You'd walk in, and on the left side there'd be Beatniks playing chess and arguing about Marxism, and on the right side there'd be frat boys chugging beers." The fraternity relocated, however, because they began to lose members to, as Propst says, "pot, alcohol and chess." As the 1950s faded, so did the Beat scene. But the advent of the 1960s brought a whole new scene to the Rock Chalk. The hippies had arrived. "I met Hugo in 1965 after he'd gotten his false eye...Another time in the Rock Chalk he was sitting with me and a really nice girl. We were just talking. And she had the misfortune to say, 'Would you keep an eye on my purse while I go to the bathroom?' When she came back she found Hugo's glass eye on her purse. He was always popping that thing out for a joke. Most people didn't think it was funny." This is the kind of thing that you'd expect to find at the Rock Chalk in the 1960s. The excerpt, from the book, Cows Are Freaky When They Look at You, details a group of people known as the Kaw Valley Hemp Pickers, an informal outlaw organization. Jeff Morrow, owner of The Crossing in the early 1980s, says the group was, in essence, a bunch of wild, crazy hippies who resided in Lawrence during the 1960s and hung out at the Rock Chalk and a neighboring bar, The Gaslight. "These were the type of people that you'd find there at this point," Morrow says. "They'd be wearing gun belts and holding pigs' heads posing for pictures on the lawn of the Ecumenical Christian Ministry building across the street. It was just unbelievable stuff." As the hippie scene developed, it became increasingly infiltrated with outlaws and criminals. Drugs, especially LSD and pot, became overwhelmingly prevalent within the scene. "The notion of the so-called flower child is dead wrong," Propst says. "It wasn't like 'peace and love' — it was like, 'bring it on mother fucker!'" It got to the point where even the police were afraid to get involved. In the late 1960s as the Vietnam War and other tensions were at their height, so was activity at the Rock Chalk. All the excitement began to take a toll on Cooper, who still owned and operated the Rock Chalk, so he decided to sell the business in 1968. Propst says he believes that everything that was constantly going on around Cooper indirectly caused him to lose his mind. --- 9 2.5.04 JerryBoy 15 "He eventually did go mad afterwards and became a toll-taker out on the turnpike," Propst says. "He was this straight-arrow guy from a different generation, and everyone around him was a bunch of lunatics on LSD. It was as if he was in an asylum, but didn't realize he was in an asylum." When Dan Rather and the TV news magazine "60 Minutes" came to Lawrence in 1972 to do a story on the drug culture in America, Rather visited the Rock Chalk. Rumors began circulating regarding possible drug trafficking at the Rock Chalk. Then-Attorney General Vern Miller led a raid on the building with himself hidden in the trunk of a car, Morrow says. Miller ordered that the building be shut down and forbid that it be called the Rock Chalk any longer. As one era ends, another begins. Morrow also removed the jukebox from the bar, the first establishment in Lawrence to do so, and put in turntables so people could play records. Some called him foolish because jukeboxes were such a prominent source of income, but he didn't care. He decided to buy a then-new invention known as a video game and put it inside. The first "Pac-Man" in Lawrence, serial number 675, made its debut. The Crossing would started to offer live music, one of the first places in Lawrence to do so. The idea took off. Anyone was allowed to play at The Crossing as long as they could find space on the calendar. Mark Roseberry often played there with his band Ricky Dean Sinatra in the early 1980s. "It really gave opportunities to bands that wouldn't be able to get gigs elsewhere," Roseberry says. "There was always live music going on at night." The hippie scene, long dead, was replaced with a new counter-culture. --- After four changes in ownership and name throughout the 1970s, Morrow bought the building in 1979 and reopened it in 1980 as The Hawk's Crossing. All he really wanted to do was run a sandwich shop. When renovating the inside of the building, Morrow used a chainsaw to cut out the old floors and poured new ones himself. He rebuilt the kitchen and the bar top. He had an idea to build a porch in front so that people could sit outside on nice days. The Crossing porch was born, but it would not be the last change to The Crossing. Colored, spiked hair became the trend as music replaced drugs as The Crossing's trademark. Morrow sold The Crossing in 1985 and bought the building a few doors away to focus on sandwiches. ... The Crossing switched hands several times after Morrow sold it. Live music was eventually phased out, and it once again became a popular hangout for fraternities and sororities. Enter punk music. A new jukebox was installed. Disregarding a few minor changes, the design and interior has remained the same since Jeff Morrow sold it. "It's sad really," Propst says. "It became a yuppie hangout again after Jeff sold it. All the character it once had was gone." Those who knew it when, though, still have their memories. "We had this small digital clock above the bar," Morrow says. "By law, we had to close at midnight every night. There were those nights though — you know the nights when the stars and the moon align and everything is perfect - those nights." We know it as Yello Sub. He pauses.

The Wichita senior was hooked when he was able to express himself without judgment and to dance without feeling stupid. He felt amenity with the hundreds of strangers from all walks of life dancing around him to the same steady, thumping, hypnotizing beat coming from the electronic music created by the disc jockey. The event was alcohol free and people younger than 14 were enjoying the communal vibe. J. Phoenix, Lawrence resident, describes raves as tribal rituals. Instead of bonfires there are lasers and lights and drums made out of wood and animal skin are replaced by public announcement systems, mixers and turntables made of plastic, paper and vinyl. The DJ is the shaman who directs the masses through his or her music, and people dance as they try to attract the opposite sex. Phoenix was amazed at what he saw at his first rave. "I walked in and it was nuts," Phoenix said, "It looked like a bunch of high schoolers commandeered an old, abandoned K-Mart. The music was insane. They had these stacks of speakers that I only saw at huge venues just blaring rhythm. It rocked that night, and I was hooked." That rave was Migrations 2, which took place in September 1999. Now, the glowsticks have burned out, the pacifiers and air filter masks are no longer worn, the candy has turned stale. Thanks to dance hall laws, media images of rampant drug use, maturing fans and financial risks the days of the all ages/all night rave is dead in the Kansas/Missouri area, but the music plays on. Electronic music events in the region continue in nightclubs like Club 151 and Kabal in Kansas City, Mo., and in smaller house party settings. DJ Rob Lee plays his style of progressive house electronic music in nightclubs in the West Bottoms area of Kansas City, Kan. He says electronic music moved into clubs because several raves were busted and promoters became scared of throwing large-scale events that could lose money. The days of someone simply going into a warehouse and having a party are over. Now having an event takes more time and preparation to lessen the chance of getting busted. Now 21 years old, Cookson no longer wants to go to anonymous parties crowded with strangers like he did when he was 16. He wants to go out with his friends to a smaller party or nightclub to see a DJ he likes. Promoters now offer more events in the adult setting of a bar or nightclub. This projection of maturity brings more respect from authorities and older adults, Lee says. A club setting has lower production costs, better DJs playing longer sets and reasonably priced alcohol instead of over-priced water. in --- The clubs hosting these events are usually for ages 19 and over, thus keeping minors out of the event and away from older club goers who usually don't want to be around the immature younger set. The younger crowds were the ones that were getting into trouble and couldn't handle themselves in public because a lot of them were there to party and not for the music, Rachel Merz, Lawrence freshman, says. "Regardless of these little raver kids taking drugs and listening to it [the music] that's not what its about, that's not why were here. A lot of the older people are pushing the music to be a mature sound and be a more upscale thing," Lee says. "If you go to a club in New York, there might be a A huge DJ playing. You have to go in looking really nice and suitable for the club. That's because it's precious for the people that are involved in it. They are sick and tired of having that rap that raves are bad because of all these drugs. There are no more drugs at a rave than there are in a concert at Sandstone." 22 2.B.C6 Jumping "It looked like a bunch of high schoolers commandeered an old, abandoned K-Mart. The music was insane. They had these stacks of speakers that I only saw at huge venues just blaring rhythm. It rocked that night, and I was hooked." LIE HIS PRESIDENT, THE GOVERNOR OF BURGUNDY, ANNOUNCED IN A HISTORY CLASS AT THE CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY, WITH A MASSIVE FIELD OF STUDENTS AND A LARGE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES, TO PARTICIPATE IN A THIRD WEEKEND OF THE YEAR. For some people the events in nightclubs lack the community that the old school raves had. Phoenix sees the scene as fragmented and compartmentalized between subgenres of electronic music, DJs and personalities. At age 24 he wishes for the days when the parties featured strangers in a room having fun. For Phoenix, the respectability of being in a club loses that old school, underground feel of the late '90s and early '00s. Phoenix is not the only one who sees disunity in the scene. Anne Schmader, Leavenworth senior and longtime raver, says there are not as many people who are willing to just have a good time. Politics and personal differences between people are preventing good times that were happening a few years back, she says. Away from the clubs of Kansas City, one Lawrence production company is still pulling all-nighters like a No-Doz popping college student. Tribal Vision, informally led by Tim Hjersted, Douglas County resident, is well known in the electronic music community for throwing small, outdoor summertime all-ages parties. In its four years the group has thrown eight parties that attract people from all over the Midwest to Hjersted's country home on the outskirts of Lawrence. Tribal Vision seeks to create a tribal atmosphere and a strong sense of community by having parties with no admission price, filling cheap water to cover the relatively low expenses (average $250), having bonfires and maintaining a positive attitude. Hjersted says that the younger generations of ravers were influenced by the mass media telling them that raves were places to do drugs. He hopes young ravers will embrace the values of community, respect and love and that raves will not be seen as a place to do drugs anymore. Todd Comer, Gladstone resident, tries to shake the "raves equal drugs" image through his photography. Comer, 37, has been documenting the local rave scene from behind a photo lens since December 2001. He has archived about 30,000 pictures on his Web site, Phocas.net, which he updates regularly. "When I started, I wanted to show that people are dancing and not doing all these drugs," Comer said, "There is this Bible Belt image that kids should stay at home with their families, which is good, but kids need to go out and have a good time and forget about their jobs and problems for awhile." For the future of raving and club music, Lee looks to the coasts. He says there are clubs in Seattle, New York and Washington D.C. that have events where people dance until dawn. Kansas and other midwestern states have laws requiring that the party has to stop at 3 a.m. This law reminds Lee of the '80s movie Footloose. Hjersted also sees a future from the coasts. He says that raves as we know them will disappear but emerge in a different form. Hjersted has heard of raves in San Francisco that focus more on spiritual ideas through music and dance. Those parties avoid the drugs that gave raves a bad name. — Neil Mulka can be reached at nmulka@kansan.com. --- 2.5.04 Testing 25 By: Erica Brittain, Jayplay senior staff writer By: Erica Brittain, Jayplay senior staff writer Photos: Eric Braem J ayme Wiley likes to shop. The evidence is everywhere in her bedroom, as clothes and shoes spew from the closet. When the seasons change, she must rotate clothes between the closet in her parents' home and the closet in her apartment just to make room for all of them. There are picture frames, candles and other knickknacks that she no longer has space for. Everybody shops every once in a while, but Wiley goes beyond that. And she can't do anything to stop it. 14 2.0.04 Journal --- shop fill you drop Jamie Wiley, Mulvane junior, knows she has a problem. She shops almost daily and buys something almost every trip. Working about 20 hours a week as a cashier at Target doesn't help because it's the usual place for her sprees. "I'll take about 10 minutes to go shopping and just use it as a pick-me-up," she says. "I don't need half of the stuff that I have, but I buy it anyway." Another place she frequents is Massachusetts Street, always searching for her next purchase. She roams from shop to shop with the intention of buying something, but sometimes she can't find anything that appeals to her. Because she has so much already, she finds it difficult to satisfy the need to buy something when she shops. Shopping has turned from buying the necessities to overindulging ourselves. Thomas Hine, author of I Want That! How We All Became Shoppers, says things become necessities because people buy them. "Necessity is a difficult thing to define, but they don't necessarily include that gas grill," he says. "A person makes an initial lifestyle decision to purchase an item, such as a grill, and that is how we justify it to be a necessity for ourselves." Hine says shopping is all about power. People use the objects they buy to have and derive power, whether it be over their own lives or over others. Shopping gives people the opportunity to make choices that have an immediate impact on life. "Shopping gives people the power to change themselves and their circumstances. You can attempt to change to be like other people, which some see as a practical kind of freedom and choice," he says. Shopping behaviors begin at an early age. Hine says that three out of four American babies visit a store by the age of 6 months. They are taken to supermarkets and discount stores and know the layouts of these stores by the age of three. At this point, they begin to recognize products and labels and are able to convey their desires towards their parents. Although they may not be making an actual purchase, children become c sumers at a very young age. Shopping is also about societal acceptance. Hine says people buy items to belong to groups they want to be associated with. "It starts when we are children, when a 10-year old wants a pair of sneakers that the cool kids have," he says. "This behavior stays with us our entire lives." According to Hine, recent studies show that the most fashion-conscious people you will find at a contemporary shopping mall are females between 12 and 14 years of age. Although the stereotypical idea of a shopper is a woman providing for her family, the concept isn't far from the truth. Hine says in the 1840s, a new model of the middle-class family began to emerge. That model became our ideal and has been with us since. Jobs for men moved away from the home as they began to work in factories. The wife then became responsible for cooking, cleaning and providing goods for the family. Now, even though American women are more likely to be in the workplace than at home, they account for 73 percent of all trips to the supermarket. Hine attributes the difference in shopping habits between men and women to the way that we are conditioned by society. He says there are two reasons women are more dominant as shoppers: the increasing number of female heads of households and the change in the nature of work. In the past, men worked mechanical jobs and were the main buyers of appliances, tools and home renovation supplies. Now, women are showing interest in these areas. "I'll take about 10 minutes to go shopping and just use it as a pick-me-up," she says. "I don't need half of the stuff that I have,but I buy it anyway." You can see this in the changes in hardware and home improvement stores. They are being changed to focus on the woman as a decorator on a larger scale." Hine says. Just because women are portrayed as the dominant shopper doesn't mean that all women embrace shopping. Hine says the women who despise shopping do so because they have always been told to take it seriously when they have no interest in doing so. The preconceived myths about men and shopping are also skewed, as one-third of all men like to shop. "Many of them don't like it because of the way they perceive the environments of shopping, as many of them are not expected or welcome in department stores," Hine says. "I talked to a developer of a shopping center who said the only valuable aspect of men when it comes to shopping is for them to take care of the children so that their wives will buy more." Men who don't feel welcome in these settings often turn to Internet shopping. Studies show that men who shop online do so in a more playful way, going from item to item like women do in stores, not necessarily knowing what they want. On the other hand, women shop online more like men do in stores, finding the item they need and making an immediate purchase. College students are also shopping on the Internet. Eighty-one percent of college students have made an online purchase, according to a study done by Greenfield Online, an internet-based survey company. Internet shopping isn't going to surpass retail shopping anytime soon, but it will allow people to buy more things they weren't necessarily looking for. Hine has a friend who purchased a book from an online retailer even though he had not been aware of the title until he received an e-mail from the online retailer that suggested he buy the book based on his previous purchases. He was offered the title at a lower price because he was a good customer. Although he didn't remember any past purchases that would give the company reason to suggest the book, he bought it anyway. . "The Internet companies are making illogical conclusions that say if people bought these books and this sweater, they need this music. It is scary how often this works and people end up buying things they don't need," Hine says. Shopping behaviors often turn compulsive when people buy unnecessary items. Wiley admits she is a compulsive shopper. "When I get home after buying something, I realize that I didn't really need what I bought. A lot of the stuff I have, I really didn't need, but it all looked cute at the time," she says. Compulsive shopping has become more prevalent in our society. It is estimated that 2-8 percent of the U.S. adult population suffers from compulsive shopping, with a female-to-male ratio approaching 9-to-1. Compulsive shopping is considered an "impulse-control disorder" that is linked with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and is characterized by impulsive and repetitive shopping, often resulting in personal, familial and financial distress. Dr. Lorrin Koran studies compulsive shopping as the director of the Obsessive-Compulsive Clinic at Stanford University Medical Center. He found himself treating patients for the disorder, but realized that there had been very little research done on compulsive shopping and decided to conduct a study to learn more about it. It isn't more about it. It isn't known as to why people become compulsive shoppers, but credit is part of the problem. "It starts young, when we first have money or credit cards and the problem is made worse because it is so easy to get " credit," he says. Half of the United States' population has at least $4,000 worth of credit card debt. Credit cards are what got Wiley in trouble. It started when her mother signed her up for a Visa card with a $250 limit so that she could begin to establish credit. She now has that card and another, and both have balances. The money she makes at Target goes toward the payments for her credit card bills, and she continues to charge the items she buys. "If I buy one more thing and it's $25, it's really not going to make that big of a difference on my balance, so I just keep on buying," she says. Her problem is not only causing financial difficulties. When she shops, she feels guilty and hides it from those close to her. Her parents know that she is in debt, but they don't know the extent. She also finds herself sneaking anything she buys into her apartment so that her roommates can't see. "My roommates know that I have debt from my credit cards, and they get frustrated because they know I'm buying things that I don't need," says Wiley. Compulsive shoppers in Koran's study also had relationship problems. The majority of participants admitted that their families had suffered from their urge to shop. The participant's significant others would often ask such questions as, "Why are you filling the house with things we don't need?" and "Why are you at the mall when you should be home with the kids or with me?" Koran says that having to find answers to these questions when the cause of their behavior is unknown can be a difficult thing to handle. Thus far, the results of Koran's study are promising. In order to qualify for the study, the participants were required to have a high score on the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale—Shopping Version (YBOCS-SV) and had to be shopping at least once a week. Once chosen, the 19 women and two men were given a relatively low dose of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor called citalopram, which is primarily used for depression and anxiety. After a 12-week period, 80 percent of the participants responded, with lower YBOCS-SV scores and a lesser urge to shop. "So far, I am very impressed with the degree and speed in which the participants got better," Koran says. "They have gone from shopping compulsively to going to the shopping center with friends and get the shopping center with friends and not buying anything, which is quite dramatic." Although Koran's study incorporates drug-treatment, it may not be the only way for people to curb their shopping habits. Koran says there have been documented responses to psychotherapy as well, and self-help may be possible. "You should ask yourself—are you buying things you don't use, are you out shopping when you should be doing other things, are you in trouble either financially or with friends or family? If the answer to those questions is yes, you might have a problem. If the answer is no, you probably don't. The important thing is to seek some sort of treatment before it creates more of a problem," he says. 16 - Erica Brittain can be reached at ebritt@ku.edu. 2.5.06 jobloy dish it up - * * Plan,execute and enjoy a dinner party of your own.

Most kitchen tables aren't big enough to set more than The Tapas Tradition Tapas are traditional Spanish appetizers served as bite-sized pieces. With a variety of tapas dishes on the menu, the small snacks can form an entire meal. People debate how the tapas tradition started, but some say it comes from the peaksiness of Spanish fruit flies and the ingenuity of the Spaniards to cover their wine glasses with a bit of bread or other food items to keep the little pests out. From this origin, the word tapas was derived from the Spanish verb tapar, which means "to cover." Debbie Meyers, author of the cookbook Good Friends Great Tastes: A Celebration of Life, Food and Friendship, tells the more dramatic tale of King Alfonso X of Spain. The king fell ill and had to eat small bites of food with wine between meals. After his recovery, he required his subjects to serve wine and small morsels of food. serve wine and small morsels of food. No matter what the origin, tapas with wine now serves as a staple for popular social gatherings where the guests can linger for hours. A Little Taste of Heaven Bernacette Kuhn, Courtland junior and employee at Cork and Barrel, 901 Mississippi St., recommends Obsolace, a Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon. One bottle costs $6.99. Tapas dishes can range from a simple can of olives presented in a nice bowl to the fun tortilla Española. Let your guests help out. Ask them to bring their favorite tapas dish or a bottle of wine (grape juice can act as a nice substitute, depending on your age). Meyers says sangria is a nice option if you are on a budget because it stretches your wine much further. Sangria is a mixture of red wine, fresh fruit and spices. Want a traditional tapa? Try a manchego cheese dish. You can find manchego at Round Corner Cheese and Salami Shoppe, 801 Massachusetts St. Cheese and Salam Shoppe, 608 W.

Your wallet is thin. And as you glance around the room, you realize your chances of finding tonight's special someone has fallen through the cracks. The only thing getting to your ass is the sticky beer on the barstool. As you feel a hand creep up your thigh, you look up to meet the eyes of one of your friends. Suddenly, it's too hot in the bar. After what feels like an hour of sleep, you reach to hit the snooze button and taste the vodka that still lingers on your breath. Still exhausted, you roll over to find yourself staring at your naked friend and a used condom on the floor. So what happens now? Friends-with-benefits relationships are hardly unusual, but rarely successful. Though you may think you shared a great night, did you lose something bigger, like respect? Matt Hearn, Olathe senior, says sex with a friend diminishes the chances of a successful relationship because it takes away a certain amount of respect. "It's not about necessarily the game, but the courtship. I got the prize with no work." Hearn says. He believes that a girl friend that he's hooked up with would likely respect him less, and admits he has the tendency to feel the same way about her. When Dennis Dailey, professor of Social Welfare, hears of the lack of respect that exists between friends after an intimate encounter, he clenches his mouth and juts forward in his chair. While Daily says that both sexes can engage in sex for unemotional purposes, friends lacking respect for each other in these relationships can cause sexual encounters to be "a click away from coercive sexuality." Hearn finds it difficult to think about the potential harm to a friend or friendship at 2 a.m. when alcohol is the key player in the game. But after waking up in the morning lying next to a friend, he realizes that he's broken morals his parents instilled in him by being what some may consider promiscuous—these same morals lead him to believe that the friendship has been tainted and can't move forward to a successful relationship. Despite having no cruel intentions, he's Still exhausted, you roll over to find your self staring at your naked friend and a used condom on the floor. found himself in some pretty awkward situations. Some individuals say they hope to retain friendships even after the potential awkwardness of a late night hook-up with a friend. After an intimate encounter with a friend, Dittmer says he hopes his friend wouldn't lose respect for him, and that he would never lose respect for her. Jeff Dittmer, DeSoto senior, hopes that a girl's intentions would be the same as his in the early hours of the morning—even if they involved sexual benefits. "They're horny, I'm horny, and I'm doing something about it," Dittmer says. Dailey doesn't shun casual sex, but feels that the aspects important to keeping respect in a friendswith-benefits relationship are communication, valuing each other and not having any double standards about sex. Lindsey Kinkelaar, Dodge City junior, says communication and mutual respect have kept her own friends-with-benefits relationship from failing. Neither person is looking for a relationship, they can remain emotionally uninvolved and engage in Dailey believes it's not uncommon for good friends to engage in sexual activity, but that it's rare that emotions don't get involved. Though many friends engage in pleasing each other sexually, their friendship is at risk. sexual activity. "A friend with benefits is oxymoronic. To have a friend erotically involved—it's not about love; it's about getting laid. It requires a superficial investment contrary to a good friendship," he says. So the next time you find yourself salivating over your irresistible friend, consider what a friends-with-benefits relationship truly is. Consider the respect and investment you'll have to put into the relationship to make it work. If you choose to stumble home to the bedroom with a friend, make sure in the morning you talk about it so the next night your ass isn't stuck to that sticky bar stool. Even Dittmer thinks that in a friends-with-benefits relationship, emotions too often come into play. "Usually something happens...there's guilt or an idea of love through it," he says. - Marissa Heffley, Lindsay Kiliper and Brant Stacy can be reached at mheffley@kansan.com, ikiliper@kansan.com and bstacy@kansan.com 2.5.04 Joyplug 19 Looking for money?

Talk it over. If you can talk about it, you can do it. Just make sure it's right for both of you. G Chris: At least wait till her pants are off. Q My roommate's girlfriend is always at our house. She eats my food, hogs my remote, and makes loud noises when they have sex. What should I do? John sophomore - John, sophomore C A Chris: Is your roommate a girl, too? If so, what's the problem? But I would just tell your roommate to tell the girlfriend what food is yours and to not eat it. The remote is fair game. As for the bedroom noises, just go meet someone to make your own noises with! Elizabeth: Maybe you're home too often. You should get out more and then maybe you'll get the chance to meet someone special. However, if the problem persists confront your roommate in a joking manner about his freeloading girlfriend. Q A What's the policy on girls paying for stuff on dates? - Steve, Lawrence resident A 8 Chris: There's no policy, per se. But I think the first few dates are always on the guy. If the girl is cool, she'll get the tab on date three or four. Then you can alternate paying as the dates go on. I think that's pretty standard, but there are always those high maintenance girls that won't pay for shit! If you have burning questions, don't wait for the 9pm time. Write to the representative and provide any additional information. Elizabeth: Hey, I am one of those high maintenance girls! There's nothing wrong with that. If the guy is the one asking me out, I assume that he is going to pick up the tab. KJPLAY Immortal Technique Revolutionary, Volume 2 Not in the carnal sense, however; DJ's thrive more on a sort of "greener pastures" system, wherein every single record dug can never be the last, because there's always something else to discover that could be better. This leads to eventual obsession, with DJ's lustily chasing after any and every sign of wax to be had, canvassing their grooves to find that perfect break, that rare gem, that unattainable pleasure that can only be obtained by knowing something that no one else knows. Funk 45 aficionado/sometime Kansas City denizen/pal of DJ Shadow Dante Carfagna probably knows more than a little bit about this type of deviant behavior. From his position scribing for beat culture bible Wax Poetics to the label he co-founded with like-minded DJ's, Memphix, Carfagna is steadily ascending to renaissance man status in crate digger circles. This is due in no small part to Chains and Black Exhaust, a compilation of some of the rarest tracks from the oft-overlooked and microcosmic black rock movement of the late 60s and early 70s, recently compiled and released by Carfagna on the fictitious Jones label (partly to quell any legal action). The disc's intro is a humorous clip of a radio show in which one man is talking about what he looks for in a car, saying "I don't need all of that stuff" in response to the other man's insistence on asking him about style. It functions as a comment on the comp's simplicity and rawness, with its lack of a tracklist or artist/title information and the familiar skips and pops of the vinyl on each track (sure to please vinyl purists who scoff at the very idea of the CD format). Jimi Hendrix's influence permeates throughout the album, whether it's in the vibrato-fret effect and frantic vocals of track five, or the Brill Building intro on track seven getting run straight through by the best stomp Captain Beefheart never made. Elsewhere, the progressive drumbeat and sound collage approach of track ten makes it not only the most psychedelic track on the comp, but also the most modern-sounding. Even the more timid and bland moments of the disc are still easily redeemable - the staid blues of track twelve's middle and end belie its excellent punk cacophony/Speak 'n' Spell intro, and track fourteen's standard psych-boogie is split by a drum break at about 2:40 in that would make any beatmaker salivate. Grade: A+ — Phil Torpey Breakfast for Beatlovers 9 a.m. — noon, Tuesdays Don't expect polish or glamour, because this comp is definitely without. But if you've got enough dust in your lungs to fill a vacuum bag, if you like your tunes coarse and rude, or if you just appreciate funk, blues, rock, R&B and soul music, then Chains and Black Exhaust is essential listening. In pop music, conformity has become the order of the day. As the underground hip-hop scene has aged, the emcees who travel its expressive depths seem to have developed a standard. Recent underground hip hop, in all its anti-pop glory, has mutated simply into conformity without a record deal. Revolutionary, Volume 2 is not that "nod your head/keep it real/you can't step to my metaphysical metaphor" stuff that the hip hop underground seems to consist of these days. This is that "move the crowd music." This is that "Damn, did you hear that last verse? I just gotta hit rewind to hear that again" music. Intelligent, distinct, profound. Immortal Technique provides the type of hip hop that microphones were invented for. Revolutionary, Volume 2 will leave you awestruck. Grade: A — Cornelius Minor, II Host of "Voice Activated" 7 - 8 p.m., Thursdays Missy Elliott This Is Not a Test Missy does not deviate far from the dance-friendly electro-sound that has made her one of the most sonically enthralling artists in hip-hop. Though her music pays homage to the infancy and golden age of hip-hop, at times the album expresses more style than substance - definitely a product of the current scene. Missy can be appreciated for what she manages to do with the elements that contemporary hip-hop has handed us. In this hip-hop climate of guns, drugs, and jewels, and in the political climate of joblessness, wars and political posturing. Missy does more than just remind us of a time when hiphop, and consequently, life was innocent and fun, she reminds us that it still can be. She is correct in her assessment that this is not a test, though blemished occasionally by unnecessary filler; this album is the real thing.

South Wind 12 Theatres In the motorcycle movie Torque audiences take one of the most boring and clichéd rides of their life as the film races over well-worn territory. The protagonist, Cary Ford (Martin Henderson. The Ring) returns to his friends, and girlfriend after running from the law only to find that everything is the same and he must run again. This time two motorcycle vle gangs and a smart ass FBI agent pursue him. Motorcycle action ensues as characters race, fight and fly updns their clutch rockets. Music video director turned film director Joseph Kahn packs so many action scenes into this movie that he left little time for plot and character development. Even the action sequences are unimpressive as they are heavily edited, choppy and almost cartoonishly burdened by an overuse of computer animation. For a movie that runs less than an hour and a half My Baby's Daddy Grade: D A Tall Tale: I Might be a Giant By: Kim Elsham, Jayplay assistant editor I am 22 years old, 6-foot-1 and am afraid to wear high-heeled shoes for fear that I may tower over my dates or even worse — my 6' 4" father. It began when I was in middle school. I had always been taller, but puberty hits the middle school hallways like a plague and all us girls shoot up over the boys. It's a scientific fact that prepubescent girls are taller than boys, but in my situation it was ridiculous. I think my father directly influenced my insecurity. I love the man, but when each dinner ended with,"OK, Kim, let's go measure you," I freaked. This was a daily occurrence in which I would reluctantly walk to one of the two wooden support columns separating our kitchen from our family room, remove my shoes, turn and back up to the column, slightly slouching so as to show my father that no, I had not grown since the day before. I always feared the marking: my father squinting at the top of my head as if to check for lice, brandishing a freshly sharpened No. 2 pencil, and the horrible scratching sound of lead forever engraving the dense oak column. I remember telling my middle school friends that I wish I could remove at least an inch from each of my limbs to make myself shorter. My mother told me that she and my father always had a hunch that I would be tall. Apparently, when they would map my height in my baby book, my measurements were always off the normal scales. She also told me that my pediatrician had told them to double my height at age two to predict my full height. I was 36 inches tall when I was two years old, so let's do the math: 36 times two equals 72 inches, exactly six feet tall. Damn, right on the button. Stupid doctors. I remember my driver's permit from eighth grade: Birth date: 11-25-81; Eyes: Brown; Hair: Brown; Height: 5' 10". Huge. For the longest time I could never admit that I had finally hit 6-foot. I always told the Department of Motor Vehicles clerk that I was five-foot-eleven — for three years I was 5-11. Sure, height was great for sports. I was a fabulous basketball player (if I do say so myself) and a pretty good front-row hitter for my high school volleyball team, but the gymnasium was one of the few places where I found my height to be a blessing. In every other aspect of my life, it was a curse. Try finding pants with a 35-inch inseam for a reasonable price. Thank God my mom can sew and let out the hems of all my pants. Here are my three favorite height-related lines: "Do you play sports?" "Can you reach that for me?" and my all-time favorite, "You should be a model." Sorry everyone, but the average model is 17 years old, 5-11 inches tall and weighs 115 pounds. I am none of those things. Some people say that I'm lucky and that they wish they were as tall as I am. I guess I do appreciate being able to see over crowds at concerts to seek out my friends, the bathrooms or the bar. Being a head taller than the majority of the audience makes me feel less claustrophobic. But that does not make me feel normal. My perception of normal is skewed. My 5" 8" mother and sister are short to me. Bathroom mirrors only reflect my chest — I have to hunch over to see if there is food in my teeth. Bathroom doors reveal my identity to people waiting for a stall the moment I stand up. The only time I feel comfortable with my height is with my father's side of the family — "the Great Danes." About seven years ago the Elshams congregated in Minnesota for a family reunion. Being of Scandinavian descent, Danish specifically, we're a tall bunch, and I have never felt more at home. I only have boy cousins, the shortest of which is six feet tall. When I walked into the typical country club banquet room for the reunion, my mother told me I said, "Wow! I feel normal!" That statement leads to my conclusion about my insecurity: It's all about perspective. If I see myself as abnormal, I believe that I am abnormal. But trying to make myself shorter is impossible. I'm only now starting to realize that my height is a gift: It makes me unique, special, distinctive, all of those parent-ish adjectives. But most of all, it makes me who I am. — Kim Elsham can be reached at kelsham@kansan.com Here are my three favorite height-related lines: “Do you play sports?” “Can you reach that for me?” and my all-time favorite: “You should be a model.” Illustration: Scott Drummond favorite. ?" t for me?" vorite: model."

Hundreds of students turned out on the hills of campus yesterday to take advantage of prime sliding conditions. By Laura Pate lpate@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Photos by Kit Leffler/Kansan Phillip Sorenson spent most of yesterday morning in the hallway of Wescoe Hall. The Kansas City area sophomore rode in the passenger seat as one of his friends braved the slushy drive from West Lawrence to the University. Sorenson said they had a few close calls on the morning commute. "It was hard to get traction up the hill, and turns were real slick," Sorenson said. But after arriving on campus, Sorenson found a note from his teacher on the door to his first class. The note said that his teacher, who usually commutes from Kansas City, could not make the drive. So Sorenson waited in the hallway for his next class, which was scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Then, at 1:30 p.m. the University canceled classes. David Shulenburger, provost and executive vice chancellor, made the decision to cancel classes because he wanted to get people to leave campus so Facilities Operations could clear the University grounds of snow, he said. Facilities Operations needed to begin cleaning so that the University could hold classes today, he said. Changes in the forecast prompted him to meet with University officials at noon yesterday to talk about canceling classes. Watson and Anschutz Libraries closed their doors at 5 p.m. and the Student Recreation Fitness Center locked up at 3 p.m.yesterday. The National Weather Service said the snow would stop at noon, but it later predicted continued snow until 4 p.m. The forecast said 5 inches of snow would blanket the ground by last night, with temperatures in the 20s. Shulenburger planned to have classes today, but said he would re-evaluate the situation if Facilities Operations cannot adequately clear campus of snow. Classes would most likely be held if it stopped snowing by 4 p.m. yesterday, he said. The University does not look for a set amount of snow as a guideline when calling off classes, Shulenburger said. The University usually only calls classes off for icy conditions rather than for snowy conditions. But enough snow had fallen to make it difficult for people to get out of parking lots and streets, he said. KU On Wheels began making its final routes at 1:30 p.m. yesterday. But the bus company announced on the KU Web site that it would leave nobody stranded. Students could call 842-0544 between 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. to ensure a ride home with KU On Wheels. All bus rides yesterday were free. Still, some students spoke about not riding the bus because of fear of getting in a wreck. Rick Shears, bus driver, said yesterday a car ran into a bus at 19th and Naismith streets. Ben Snyder rode the bus from Hashinger Hall to Jayhawk Blvd. yesterday. If he could not find a bus because of the confusion, he would have to walk home, the Hutchinson sophomore said. "I'm probably just going to walk and "I'm probably just going to walk and fall on my butt six times." Snider said. PREVIOUS SNOW DAYS Moving around Lawrence was difficult for students.

Edited by Nikki Nugent Necesitamos profesores More majors, not enough Spanish teachers By Jodie Kraft jkraft@kansan.com Kansan staff writer A 'major' dilemma The popularity of Spanish is growing rapidly at the University of Kansas, and professors in the department of Spanish and Portuguese are struggling to keep up. The average of number of students majoring in Spanish per tenured or tenure-track faculty member has risen quickly over the last five years. The number of students majoring in Spanish has increased by 273 percent from 1996 to 2003, while the number of tenured and tenure-tracked faculty has decreased by 29 percent in the same time. average number of students majoring in Spanish per Spanish faculty member 0 33 1 1 1 2000 Right now, the department is in the process of hiring three new faculty members, but the new hires will just balance the faculty members who will retire, said Danny Anderson, chairman of the department. This, combined with an increase in Spanish majors, has caused growing class sizes, fewer sections and frustrated students and professors. In 1996, the University had 93 Spanish majors. Today, there are 347. In that time, the ratio of students to faculty has increased from just more than six to one to nearly 32 students to each faculty member in the department. 301 313 2002 2003 Andrew Vaupel/Kansas "We're clearly under stress right now," Anderson said. "The faculty are exhausted. They're doing extra work, trying to make certain that the quality doesn't go down." Source: Department of Spanish Portuguese As with any language, Spanish requires practice and participation in class, said Patricia Manning, assistant professor of Spanish. Manning said larger class sizes weren't a long term solution because they often inhibited interaction between the professor and students as well as between students. Nonetheless, the department is trying a larger, lecture class for the first time with its Textual Analysis and Critical Reading class. The lecture for the class has 80 people and meets once a week. Twice a week the class meets in four discussion classes. Anderson said the larger class was designed to accommodate more students and if it proved successful, the department would consider doing it again. Enrollment frustrations Manning has 23 students enrolled in Colloquium on Hispanic Studies, a class Leah Sieve said she had to get closed-class openers for every Spanish class she's ever taken at the University. The Overland Park junior tested into midlevel Spanish classes, placing her with that, according to enrollment restrictions, should have only 15 students. Seniors who will graduate this semester were allowed in Mannings class, but she said she had to turn away several juniors.

Hague, who graduated from Fort Hays State with a degree in Finance, will oversee the April elections and judge any complaints of campaign violations. Senate also allocated $13,000 for the spring elections. The original bill included $3,000 for Hague's salary and another $3,000 for advertising to increase voter turnout. It also allotted $7,000 later for polling sites at Wescoe Beach, Mrs. E.'s, GSP-Corbin Hall and the Student Recreation Fitness Center. Students will be able to vote at those locations or any campus computer lab. Other bills passed Wednesday included $431 in general funding for the KU Marathon Trainers and two proposals to update the Senate Web site. 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. Senate also agreed to allocate $3,252 for the Blueprints Leadership Conference.

Kathy Mitchell is trying to figure out how to get that blank tile to cure diseases. She experiments with stem cells from umbilical cords, trying to unlock their potential to save lives. "This is important research that's just beginning to be understood," said Mitchell, an assistant professor of pharmacology and toxicology. "What the average person should know is that "This is important research that's just beginning to be understood. What the average person should know is that at some point, it will change your life." Kathy Mitchell Assistant professor of pharmacology and toxicology at some point, it will change your life." Stem cells are "unprogrammed"cells that can develop into other kinds of cells. For example, stem cells found in bone marrow can become red blood cells, white blood cells or bone cells. While researchers like Mitchell see the promise of stem cell research, the federal government has put restrictions on the types of stem cells that can be used. There are three basic types of stem cells, Mitchell said, adult stem cells, umbilical cord stem cells and embryonic stem cells. Mitchell would like to research embryonic stem cells, but can't Federal research institutions, such as the National Institutes of Health, will only fund non-embryonic stem cell research. Stem cells have the most potential for the field of regenera- rive medicine, which is intended to develop treatments for repairing damaged or old tissues. When the cells arrive in the area of need, they take chemical clues from the surrounding cells to change into more specific, or differentiated forms. "They seem to have a homing ability to find damaged cells and replace them," Mitchell said. They also release signals that encourage the surrounding cells to heal and reproduce. Mitchell's research explores what in the genetic code of stem cells makes them morph into other types of cells. The umbilical cord stem cells she works with are donated from local obstetricians with the mother's consent. She tries to coax the cells into differentiating. The potential findings of the research, which is funded by a Cancer Therapeutics COBRE Grant, can help cancer victims. COBRE stands for Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence. Stem cells behave similarly to cancer cells in how they make proteins from genetic information. So understanding how stem cells grow and reproduce can improve understanding of cancer cells, Mitchell said. For example, the technology can also be applied to a brain that has experienced a lack of oxygen, as in an elderly person with a stroke, Mitchell said. It is possible to send in healthy stem cells to disperse and repair brain tissue. Mitchell also is developing a stem cell treatment for Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy, a genetic disease that affects one in 3,500 boys worldwide. The disease causes slow muscle deterioration when genes fail to make a protein called dystrophin. With a grant from Muscular Dystrophy Association, Mitchell hopes to develop a way to send in stem cells that can make dystrophin to replace defective cells and repair muscle tissue. She'll first experiment with injecting the umbilical stem cells into mice as a model. The muscular dystrophy and kidney treatments are fairly straightforward, said Mitchell, who hopes for clinical trials of the potential new treatments in five years. Birthright trip inspires students — Edited by Robert Perkins By Patrick Cady ocady@kansan.com Kansan staff writer When students from the University of Kansas Hillel group arrived in Israel last month, they found something special happening to the parched desert landscape: rain. A rare and celebrated event for the natives, the rain didn't dampen the students' spirits. "The planners did a good job of giving us a sense of what Israel was really like," Jeremy Krashin, Overland Park senior, said. achieve three goals. The group of 30 KU students left Jan.7 and returned on Jan.19, having seen Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, an area key to the fight for Israeli independence. During traveling, the group grew closer to each other and their faith. Benjy Simon, Overland Park junior, said the trip was meant to First, students wanted make a stronger connection to their Jewish heritage. One way the group accomplished that was visiting the last standing wall of the Temple of David, or the West Wall. "The wall is the holiest site in Judaism," Simon said. "I got chills standing there. I almost fell over." Another goal of the trip was to connect the KU students with other Jewish peers, Simon said. Once in Israel, the group traveled with people from around the world, including Hillel groups from Texas Tech and Iowa. Simon still sees lingering effects of the trip on his peers. He has seen their interest in and dedication to Israel and Judaism skyrocket, he said. "I expected it to be an awakening, but I didn't expect it to have the impact it did," Simon said. The third goal was to experience the current political situation in Israel, Simon said. To do this, students saw important historical sites such as the former Kings Square, now called Rabin Square, where Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated in 1995. They also saw constant signs of the military and war. "One of the most interesting things to me was getting to know some of the Israeli soldiers," Shana Kayne, Leawood junior, said. "They were our age and our peers, so it was easy to connect with them." Students saw other examples of Israel's fight for independence. Riding on the bus from site to site, they passed burnt-out jeeps and tanks sitting on the side of the road, left from battles decades ago. Because of the unsettled political situation, security was always a focus on the trip, Simon said. Students would not leave their hotel in the evening. The group's bus always had a guard. And if the bus approached a possibly dangerous area, it would take detours of up to three hours to stav safe. "That's when it started feeling like it wasn't really a vacation," Simon said. Despite the security, the group felt strongly about seeing Israel's origins. Seeing the country's Declaration of Independence gave them a powerful feeling, Krashin said. While students viewed the document, a recording of Israel's national anthem hauntingly played in the background. Moments like these put the trip — and the rain — into perspective. "We did get to see some really nice rainbows," Kayne said. — Edited by Danielle Hillix LOCAL Series of car break-ins may have common link A series of burglaries occurred early Tuesday at two separate apartment complexes in Lawrence. Seven people reported criminal damage to their cars and theft of hundreds of dollars of property, mostly of compact disc players and compact discs. Several of the cars were parked under or near a carport at Park-25 Apartments, an apartment complex near 25th and Iowa streets. Katherine Haney, Derby senior, had her back passenger window broken and CD player stolen. She said all the cars near hers were broken into through the same window. Conventry Manor at Meadowbrook, 15th and Iowa streets, was hit the same night. Alex Garcia, Olathe junior, said he thought five to six vehicles had been broken into, but it looked like only cars with installed CD players were targeted. Garcia's Ford Explorer was broken into and his compact discs and CD player were stolen. He said someone he lived near told him this also had happened in October. Sgt. Mike Patrick of the Lawrence Police Department said that he suspected the same person or group for each lot, but there was no evidence to connect the different locations. He said he would not be able to confirm anything until the case was resolved, but considering the proximity of the cars, the similar method of the break-in and the times indicated, it was probably the same person or group. Winter weather also contributes to further difficulties in catching criminals. Because of the cold weather, the department cannot dust for fingerprints on the outside of the car. Fingerprints are made by amino acids, but if it is freezing, the frost just smears them. If the interior is warmer, it is possible to dust. But if a window is broken and the temperature has dropped, police cannot. Patrick said the Lawrence police had no suspects yet. — Neeley J. Spellmeier Blind Date: Kansan Style. You Write, We Pay!

They'd already braved ridiculous road conditions, bitter cold and four inches of snow to get to campus and attend classes. OURVIEW The snow blizzard that caused class cancellations had warning signs. Next time, cancel class earlier. around the same time classes were canceled, these students found out those buses wouldn't be taking them back down those hills. The bus system was shut down for the day. The University tried to help students by having an on-call service for rides from 1:30 p.m.to 3:30 p.m.,but many students did not know it was available. Many students made the trip up to campus on KU buses, which chugged up the hills despite the weather. However, Having the afternoon off was more of a booby prize than cause for celebration as students relayed stories of snow-soaked clothes and near-misses in their cars en route to class. It's not as if the University couldn't have planned for this onslaught of flakes. Every TV meteorologist told us Tuesday night of the upcoming 4-inch attack, and the snow began failing late Wednesday, adding rapidly to the already-slick roads. The University has to act more quickly, for both the safety and convenience of KU students. Perhaps an overnight cancellation was not justified, but the roads were covered with inches of snow by the time the first classes were beginning on campus. Action should have been taken then, and classes canceled for the rest of the snow-filled day. Every hour the University keeps classes open is another hour of danger, opening the university to potential litigation and students to possible injury as cars slide out of control across slippery roads. Also, as those who did make it to class can attest, classes on days like yesterday are never productive. Teachers let TAXI STAYS KAIT TRIBUNE MED SERVICES! Wayne Stayskal/KRT Campus class out early or cancel it on their own knowing that very few students will be able to make it to campus. When classes were finally canceled, the decision was made for the wrong reasons. Provost David Shulenberger said that classes were cancelled in order to clean up the campus so that classes could be held tomorrow. The leaders at the University need to shift their attention from tomorrow's problems and focus on what is happening today. Yesterday's late decision to cancel classes was a classic case of too little, too late for the wet, cold students of the University, who were too busy preparing for the dangerous trip home to care.

MUSIC OF MY MIND 'Wardrobe malfunction' hits headlines; superstar exploits cover up real stories COMMENTARY Cornelius Minor opinion@kansan.com In 1993, Christmas, for me, fell on September 16. Janet Jackson was on the cover of the new Rolling Stone. It was what me and my freakishly hormonal contemporaries considered to be THE photo of Janet—the famous one with an anonymous set of hands covering her breasts. "Put me on a planet, damn it, where all the girls look like Janet" — Treach (of Naughty By Nature), "It's On" from the 1993 album, 19 Naughty III Though it does not sound like much by today's hyper-sexual standards, I dreamt roughly three days worth of pointless adolescent daydreams about what was behind those hands. But dreams do fade. As those particular dreams did, bigger things began to occupy my consciousness. With the passage of time came calculus, came graduation, came adulthood, came career — then came Super Bowl XXXVIII. With a suggestive hand motion and a poorly-written song lyric, Justin Timberlake showed the millions watching what At the time I was a raging pubescent 10th grader, and that, in my 15 year-old mind, was art. Patrick Demarchelier, the Rolling Stone photographer, was a lucky genius. My parents, however, in agreement with the dominant media at the time, thought that the world had gone to hell. Demarchelier and Rolling Stone did not. I never thought that old 10th-grade desires would resurface and be realized like this. As I've gone about life this week, I've been mildly disturbed and infinitely frustrated by the fact that Janet's breast — the object of my fascination for all of three days when I was 15 — has become an object of national import for what now is going on a week. I guess the world has gone to hell again. Though I understand the issues of public decency and community standards involved with what is sadly becoming "the Janet Jackson debate," I am reminded, yet again, that public life in America is not represented by stories of its common people, but by the results of the elite. Our journalists do not tell our stories. Bush announced its major investigation It's not that the nation's fascination with Janet Jackson has gone too far; it's much bigger than that. Our obsession with celebrity and consumer culture has marauded our sense of who we are. I meet so many people who define themselves by what they consume—"Hi I'm a Starbucks coffee drinker." "I'm a Strokes fan," "I'm a vegetarian." When I introduce myself as Cornelius, folks don't know how to approach me. Conversely, when I introduce myself as a Hip hop enthusiast or as a video gamer, all of a sudden folks know exactly what to expect. Though I'm in the midst of my own struggle to get past the activity of boxing people into prefabricated consumer units, it has become increasingly clear to me that our ways of seeing and knowing have become limited to the paradigms that superstars and products have built for us. It's hard for us think about love, for instance, without attaching it to a song or to a movie, similarly our concept of family and friends is fueled by the relationships exemplified on sitcoms. We elect presidents, governors and representatives, but to whom do we really look for leadership? This was a big week in the history of the world. We live in the kind of socio-political climate where every week is. Though I agree that we should grapple publicly with such issues, we allowed Justin Timberlake's quasi-violation of Janet Jackson to dominate our national consciousness this week. Have we thought of the women whose rights are eclipsed in more dramatic ways every day? The freedom of thought upon which we pride ourselves is nothing more than a pretty mask for our collective willingness to remain ignorant. Now, don't get me wrong, I love Janet. Though I don't share the same love for Justin that other folks may exhibit, I do dig the things that make pop culture so interesting. It's going to take a conscious effort, though, for me not to let the things that I buy or the celebrities that I admire to define my existence. For我, there is no freedom in that kind of definition, and I seriously doubt that there is freedom there for any of us. Minor is an Atlanta graduate student in American studies.

But some downtown business owners are upset that they must pay for parking improvements that they don't feel help them out. Gary Strong, owner of Strong's Antiques, 1025 Massachusetts St., and Aimee's Coffee shop, 1025 Massachusetts St., hates that he must pay for the parking space on the 800 block of New Hampshire St. With his business two-blocks north of the parking garage, he said he can hardly figure out how the parking space will help him. "Anyone who is parking that far away wouldn't be coming here anway." Strong said. The cost allocated to the property owners is added to their real estate tax. Mike Wildgen, Lawrence city manager, said that particular cost was distributed during ten years. Strong would prefer the burden of the cost fall upon those who used the metered parking lot. "I just felt like it would never be utilized for me," Strong said. The parking area was implemented in part to help develop the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. Strong said he tried to discuss the issue with the city commission at its meetings but found the issue kept being put off the agenda. sell antiques so I get a lot of elderly people and they're not going to want to walk that far." Wilden said Lawrence's relatively inexpensive parking meter rates could not pay off the debt of the project. Half of the cost for the parking space was paid by for the city at large. The rest of the cost fell on the property owners downtown that lie within the 16-block benefit district. For any city improvement, such as sewage lines, a new road, or in this case, parking, property owners must pay part of the project's cost if their property is within the boundaries of the district. Most of Lawrence's downtown area is within the district. The conversion of an old vacant lot into a parking garage counted as a benefit to the area, so Strong had to pay. Property owners must help pay for the improvement because the addition benefits the area as a whole, Wildgen said. The payments were not about personal benefit. Wildgen said, they were about benefiting the entire downtown area. The additional parking space is intended to provide alternative parking, allowing downtown employees to get cheaper long-term parking instead of parking on Massachusetts St. and constantly feeding the meter. Strong is still unhappy, but he will go ahead and pay for the improvement in his real estate tax. "If it'is that much of a necessity, it should be paid for by the people who use it," Strong said. "But there's really nothing I can do about it." Nolan Washatka, assistant general manager at Tellers, 746 Massachusetts St., said he wasn't sure businesses should have to pay for additional parking, but that more parking was good for people who live and work downtown. Washatka also said more long-term parking would be a benefit to the downtown district because it would give people more time downtown. — Edited by Henry C. Jackson EXCHANGE: Icon could change book-buying habits CONTINUED FROM 1A students to buy their books from other students at cheaper rates rather than paying bookstore mark-ups. Andy Knopp, student body president, said he was excited to see the links get up and running this week. Knopp also said he was happy the Union had been willing to risk some of its book profits for the benefit of students. "They worked with us all along." Knopp said. "I think their perspective was that students will look online for books anyway at places like Amazon, so they'd rather have them do it locally on their own Web site." Mike Reid, director of information systems at the Kansas Union, worked to make the links a reality. "We could lose some sales, but it's the same thing students have always had the ability to do," Reid said. "we're just making it easier." Some bookstore owners aren't happy with the new system. Bill Muggy, owner of the Jayhawk Reid said the only negative aspect of working on the project was that he couldn't get it done in time for most students who bought their books for this semester. Delays occurred in part because one of the programmers was called back to his home in Russia because of family issues. Bookstore, 1425 Crescent Rd., said the book exchange links were part of a long history of favoritism for the Kansas Union Bookstore that gave it an unfair advantage. "I've been dealing with things like this for 28 years," Muggy said. "The Kansas open records law has always bent to what the Union wants." Muggy currently has to pay the Union bookstore for lists of each semester's required books. He said that his store would still offer students immediate service that they couldn't get from the online book exchange. The Jayhawk Bookstore, for example, buys books back on the spot. The reaction of some students suggests that Muggy will still have plenty of business. Eric Jensen, Sioux Falls, S.D. senior, said he always bought his books at the bookstores instead of online. He said he wouldn't take the time to register his books on the exchange. "It sounds like too much time and effort," Jensen said. "Usually if you want to sell a book you can just sell it to a friend." Christopher Wood, Chicago graduate student, said he thought the exchange was a good idea, but he didn't know if he'd be able to use it. "I'm not very good with computers," Wood said. "If it was easy I might be able to figure it out, but then again, I still don't know how to check my grades from last semester." The other aspects of "Have a say before you pay" include a mandatory campus-wide vote on all student fee increases and a student-run Tuition Advisory Committee. Knopp said no fee increases had been proposed since the initiative, so that hadn't been tested yet. Fees have increased from $275.50 per semester in 2001-2002 to $281.50 last year, to $287.00 this year. Recent fee increases have gone to Saferide, the new Multicultural Resource Center and the United States Student Association, a national student lobbying group. The Tuition Advisory Committee is made up of Knopp, Catherine Bell, student body vice president, and a group of student senators. Knopp said administrators worked closely with the committee and took students' tuition concerns seriously. "Actually, faculty is sometimes frustrated they're not as involved in the process as students," Knopp said. "I've had departments come to me asking students to lobby on their behalf." Edited by Henry C. Jackson PROFESORES: Lack of funding prevents hirings CONTINUED FROM 1A upperclassmen who have earlier enrollment times. "It's frustrating going through all the hoops." Sieve said, "but it never made me want to quit taking classes at KU." Sieve said smaller Spanish classes promoted more discussion and made students more comfortable in speaking situations. "You're more willing to open up and try," she said. Anderson said the department requested faculty positions every year from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, but it didn't always receive them. John Grombeck-Tedesco, associate dean of the college, said the Spanish department did need more faculty, but a lack of money was preventing more hirings. Funding shortages He said money for one position came from tuition enhancement funds, while normal funding provided for the two other positions. He said budget cuts during the last few years had prevented the college from granting as many positions as the department requested. He also said it was important to look at the needs of other departments and hire there when necessary. "You do the best you can with the money you have," Gronbeck-Tedesco said. The college's goal for the department was to continue hiring Spanish faculty and to hire as Anderson said maintaining this balance wasn't good enough. He said the department needed at least 18 faculty members to provide enough courses for interested students. Right now, the department has 11 tenured, two tenure-track and one visiting faculty members. a rate that would keep hirings ahead of resignations, Gronbeck-Tedesco said. Commitment from University administration and pressure from students might help the situation, said Jill Kuhnheim, associate chairwoman of the department and director of undergraduate Spanish studies. For Josh Briggs, enrolling in two Spanish classes was essential this semester. The Olathe senior was planning on graduating in May, and said he went to class and told professors the situation. "They told me they would include me in the class, no problem," Briggs said. "They were really understanding about it." As far as the future is concerned, Anderson said the department would continue to apply for positions each year, with the constant goal of getting more faculty. Briggs said the uncertainties of not knowing whether he would get in his classes and not being enrolled as a full-time student were the most annoying. "I don't feel good about it," Briggs said. "I just want to be a full-time student." Other options Gronbeck-Tedesco said the "We want to continue hiring in Spanish. It has a great deal of application to the contemporary world," Gronbeck-Tedesco said. "But there are very legitimate alternatives, too." college's goals for the department were simple. He said although Spanish is the most popular and largest department in the college, languages such as Italian, French, German, Chinese, Japanese and Russian are also favored by students. While Spanish may appear to be the most beneficial foreign language to learn for a job in the United States, knowing any language will make students more desirable to employers, said Kent McAnally, assistant director of University Career and Employment Services. McAnally said the growing popularity in Spanish was caused by an increasing number of Spanish-speakers in the United States and the realization that knowing the language would be useful in some jobs. "It's not the first thing an employer will look at, but it's a big plus," McAnally said. "A second language is always a valuable skill." He said the value of knowing Spanish would depend on the individual job and employer, but he would recommend Spanish if a student was trying to decide which language to enroll in. There wouldn't be any question in my mind what I would say," McAnally said. — Edited by Henry C. Jackson Lincoln Week Lecture Series Robert J.

PAGE 7B 1B The University Daily Kansan 'Hawks must stop Emmett KANSAS Junior point guard Aaron Miles drove past Missouri player Jimmy McKinney during Kansas' victory against the Tigers. The Jayhawks are gearing up for a contest against Texas Tech tomorrow. Self faces Knight for first time By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter The Kansas men's basketball team picked a good time to step up on defense. picked me to in their victory against Missouri on Monday night, the 56 points the Jay- hawks (14-4 overall, 6-1 Big 12 Conference) allowed was the fewest they have yielded since giving up 46 to Binghamton on Dec. 29. The bolstered defense was an improvement from Kansas' meltdown against Iowa State last Saturday. It could also prove to be a major steppingstone as the Jayhawks face Texas Tech (17-4, 5-2) tomorrow at Allen Fieldhouse — a team that averages 74.3 points per game. The Red Raiders also bring to town the Big 12's leading scorer, senior guard Andre Emmett, who averages 21.2 points per game. 21.2 points per game. "It hasn't been easy to stop their scoring for 17 opponents so far," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "The way they run offense, you can't just key in on Emmett. They use Emmett to get other guys points." Emmett to get others go pro Some of those methods of getting other guys points have the potential to give the Jayhawks fits on defense. Self mentioned Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight's tendency to move Emmett to the power forward position. "I think if we guard how we've been guarding, we'll be fine," Padgett said. That situation could force Kansas to use either Wayne Simien or David Padgett to guard Emmett, which could lead to foul trouble, or drop into a vulnerable zone that will open up Tech from the perimeter, which ranks sixth in the conference in three-point field goal percentage. Friday, February 6, 2004 "Anywhere they put him he's going to "Anywhere they put him he's score because he's such a good player, but we've just got to play on Saturdaygoing to score because he's how we played on Monday." such a good player. " such a good player." The key component for Kansas defensively tomorrow will be junior guard Keith Langford. He was responsible Monday night for containing Missouri's Rickey Paulding — the Tigers' leading scorer. Pauding—the right word. "It's going to be kind of a funky matchup, seeing as how Emmett sometimes plays the four (power forward) for them," Langford said. "It'll be interesting to see what kind of strategy pans out." Self, who has never coached against Knight, thinks that Kansas will be going up against a focused Texas Tech squad. He thinks that the Red Raiders will have no distraction stemming from Knight's near-suspension at the beginning of the week following a confrontation with the school's chancellor. "If there was a distraction then it was probably yesterday," Self said on Wednesdav. Knight will be coaching from the sidelines tomorrow and Self knows that the Jayhawks will have to prepare like anyone else would for a Bobby Knight team. "You have to be able to handle screens - back screens, down screens and fake screens," Selfsaid. "They do a good job of exploiting the other team's weaknesses." Edited by Cindy Yeo Fans won't get their Wheaties Basketball band wants students to sing 'Wheaties' song when players foul out By Joe Bant jbant@kansan.com Kansan stuff/writer The tradition of the "Wheaties" song isn't dead,vet. For 33 years, the University of Kansas basketball band has played the Wheaties" song when opposing players foul out. An NCAA rule has put a stop to it, but band director Tom Stedam said there might be a way to keep the tradition alive. The band can't play it anymore, but fans could still sing it, Stedham said. tans could strong. He said the NCAA rule stated that bands could only play during timeouts. When a foul happens, there is a dead ball but no timeout, so the band can't play. But there is no rule that would prevent fans from picking up where the band left off. "Every game, I have several people come up to me and say 'why aren't you playing the foul-out song?'" Stedham said. "I thought it'd be really cool to have fans sing the song." Salina junior Luke Fast, who plays trombone for the basketball band agreed. "That would rock," Fast said. "You could probably hear it better on TV if they did that." He said that he was disappointed when the band couldn't play the song anymore, but that he would definitely participate if fans were singing it. "WHEATIES" so long, you didn't have your Wheaties.

Campers question the lottery system By Dave Nobles nobles@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Call them unhappy campers. Some groups think the list of camping groups, which is usually posted on the north side of Allen Fieldhouse before home games, has been tampered with to favor certain groups. Questions about policy and allegations of cheating have made some of the die-hard Kansas basketball fans who camp out before home games upset. have certain rights. Joe Grassmuck, St. Charles, Mo., sophomore, is one of the campers who suspects the system is not fair. The group that's raised the ice of Grassmuck and many others is the Phog Phanatics. The group often helps institute the lottery that starts camping. The Phanatics also consistently land in the top five spots of camping groups. For tomorrow's game against Texas Tech, for example, the Phanatics are third in the order. George another camping group, is first on the list. Though some campers attribute the group's high placement to luck, others "It's kind of crap that the same groups get in the top five," Grassmuck said. "There's something behind the scenes that we don't see."

TALK TO SPORTS: Contact Henry C., Jackson or Maggie Newcomer at SPORTS@KANSAN.COM Balance needed in athletic decisions By Joe Bant jbant@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Tuttle, American Studies professor and KUAC board member, said the The Athletics Department's priority points seating plan is out, and Bill Tuttle of the University of Kansas Athletics Corporation thinks that the plan is part of a growing divide between the KUAC and the Athletics Department. Athletics Department used power it shouldn't have to create the plan. A. R. Perkins DONALD R. MAYER The changing role of the KUAC board of directors was a good example of the department moving away from the rest of the University, Tuttle said. The KUAC has always been responsible for ticket policy, he said, and the Athletics Department effectively ignored that with its priority points plan. He also said KUAC should have played a greater part in hiring a new athletics director after Al Bohl was fired, but it was left out of that, as well. Hemenway "The students would lose a lot," Tuttle said. "They wouldn't have the representation they have now." Tuttle said the weaker KUAC did not bode well for the students and faculty being represented in the Athletics Department. Tuttle is not the only one with worries. Professor Susan Twombly and student body president Andy Knopp also expressed concerns. "Faculty are supposed to represent the majority of whatever body advises the Athletics Department," said Twombly, who is also a member of the Senate Executive Committee. "I'm concerned when that board apparently has no say in policy-making." has no say in policy. Knop agreed that the role of KUAC seemed to have been reduced, saying that it was basically acting as an advisory board without any real power to make policy. Knop said it was important that students continue to play a part in Athletics Department decisions. "There are student fees that go to the Athletics Department," Knopp said. "If any one donor gave that much, they would probably exert some influence. Students should have a huge input." Tuttle said he thought revenue was being valued over loyalty with the new tickets plan, and that it would disrupt the sense of community in the University. He said Hemenway was mostly responsible for the problem, because he was the authority behind Lew Perkins and the Athletics Department. He said he felt that academics needed to be a higher priority in terms of funding. Knopp said Lew Perkins was doing a good job of hearing the students' voices, but KUAC needed to play an important role to guarantee that in the future. Tuttle said the reduction of KUAC had occurred since the arrival of Lew Perkins, though he doesn't put all the blame on Perkins for the problems. "There's no doubt about his integrity," Tuttle said. "He's the best at what he does. I just think what's being done is wrong." "You can have a university without an athletics program," Tuttle said. "But you can't have a university without students and faculty." Not all KUAC members share Tuttle's opinion. "I kind of look at athletics as the front porch to the University," said Jessica Bankston, second-year law student and KUAC board member.

Eichhorn's team won 14-7.The teams were made up of guys from Templin Hall. warner says religious beliefs cause for lack of playing time ST. LOUIS — On Super Bowl Sunday, St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner said in a speech in Houston, Texas, that his devout religious beliefs might have contributed to his benching last season. But yesterday, the two-time NFL MVP said the speech was almost totally about the power of positive thinking. "It was my intention to give an inspirational message about keeping the faith and fighting through adversity," Warner said in a statement. "I simply wanted to encourage people to stay true to themselves in good times and bad." The remarks are part of a story on the Web site www.baptistpress.com. "I actually had (Rams) coaches say I was reading the Bible too much and it was taking away from my play," Warner was quoted as saying. "It was OK when we were winning, but now I was (messing) this thing up? People were saying I lost my job because of my faith." Coach Mike Martz was taken aback by the remarks. The Rams offer separate Bible study groups for players, couples, wives and coaches. "That's so far off the wall, it's incomprehensible," Martz told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I can't imagine Kurt saying that. Nothing could be further from the truth. If he said that, it's a bald-faced lie. I'm just tired of dealing with this type of behavior." Martz did not believe Warner's comments about Rams coaches were part of a plan to force the team to trade him. "We're not trading him," Martz said. "I can't foresee any circumstance where we would trade Kurt Warner, and he needs to understand that." The Associated Press K-State's Bill Snyder signs 29 players,2 quarterbacks MANHATTAN - Replacing quarterback Ell Roberson won't be an easy task for Kansas State coach Bill Snyder. But Snyder got a good start Wednesday, announcing the signings of two quarterbacks and 29 total players on national recruiting signing day. Snyder's 2004 recruiting class features 18 incoming freshmen, seven community college transfers and three freshmen who started classes in the spring semester. The Wildcats lost 30 seniors from their first Big 12 Conference title team "We're pleased with the scholarship distribution by position, being fortunate to gain commitments from nearly exact numbers needed at each and every position," Snyder said. That position includes the quarterback spot - where the Wildcats lose Roberson, the school's career total offense leader. Snyder signed Nick Patton, a high-recruited quarterback from Winfield and Papillion, Neb., quarterback Allan Evridge. Like Roberson, both quarterbacks can both pass and run. Patton was considered by recruiting Web site rivals.com to be Kansas' top prospect. He passed for 1,262 yards and ran for 339 as a senior. Evridge originally verbally committed to Nebraska, but chose Kansas State after former Nebraska coach Frank Solich was fired. With only sophomore Dylan Meier and junior Allen Webb returning at quar terback, Snyder said either of the newcomers could avoid a redshirt year, which would make them rarities at Kansas State. Kansas State received commitments from seven players from Kansas a number that's particularly higher than past years. The Associated Press Pro Bowl's halftime show changed because of Jackson HONOLULU — The NFL is changing the Pro Bowl's halftime show because of Janet Jackson's breast-baring at the Super Bowl. Singer JC Chasez was dumped from the program for the all-star game Sunday after fellow 'N Sync member Justin Timberlake's stunt with Jackson at the championship game. The new Pro Bowl haftime plan includes hula dancers, drummers, conch blowers and local singers. Timberlake ripped off a piece of Jackson's outfit, exposing one of her breasts covered only with a "nipple shield" during the halftime show Sunday. Jackson issued an apology Monday night, saying it was a last-minute stunt that went awry. NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue called it offensive and inappropriate. The Associated Press Former Giants coach Fassel joins the Baltimore Ravens OWINGS MILLS, Md. —Former New York Giants coach Jim Fassel joined the coaching staff of the Baltimore Ravens as a senior consultant. Fassel, who was fired by the New York Giants after the 2003 season, was hired to work with second-year quarterback Kyle Boller to improve a passing attack that ranked last in the NFL. The Associated Press Arizona changes quarterback after last season's poor finish TEMPE, Ariz.—Arizona Cardinals coach Dennis Green released Jeff Blake, saying Josh McCown showed at the end of last season that he was the team's quarterback of the future. Green refused to discuss Blake's shortcomings and said the decision had more to do with McCown's potential. The Associated Press BASKETBALL Texas wins against Colorado; Harrison scores most for Buffs AUSTIN, Texas — Sydmill Harris and Kenton Paulino each scored 13 points and Texas (15-3, 6-1 Big 12) hit 11 3-pointers en route to a win in their first game back in the Frank Erwin Center since their 25-game home winning streak was snapped on Jan. 24. Harris, a key role player in last season's Final Four run, had not scored in eight of the 10 previous games but went 3-of-3 from the floor and hit his only two free throws against Colorado (12-7, 4-4). Brandon Mouton added 11 points and a team high seven rebounds for Texas, which used its outside shooting to neutralize the defensive presence of Colorado's 7-foot center David Harrison. Harrison scored 18 points to lead the Buffaloes, who out rebounded Texas 38-31 but committed 18 turnovers which the Longhorns converted into 19 points. Badgers undefeated at home Harris scored career-high The Associated Press MADISON, Wis. — Devin Harris scored a career-high 38 points and Wisconsin (15-3,6-1 Big Ten) won its 25th straight game at the Kohl Center and broke a school record established in 1915 with their 21st straight conference win at home. Harris was 10-of-12 from the floor, including 5-of-7 from 3-point range, and sank 13 of 14 free throws. Mike Wilkinson added 15 points and Zach Morley 14 for the Badgers, who were without starting guard Maurice "Boo" Wade after his suspension following an assault charge.

Nebraska, which will take on Kansas at 7 p.m. tomorrow in Lincoln, Neb. has also had struggles trying to keep up with an overwhelming slate of games. After an 81-66 victory against No.9 Kansas State, things seemed to be looking up for the Cornhuskers who were in the Associated Press Top 25 poll for the first time in more than four years. But the Big 12 schedule caught up with them. Nebraska faced three more opponents ranked in the top-16, losing to No. 3 Texas, No. 16 Baylor, and No. 11 Colorado, to take a three-game losing streak into tomorrow's game. Meanwhile Kansas will try to recover from Wednesday's loss to No. 9 Texas Tech, a 67-44 setback. The Jayhawks struggled in the first half and were unable to establish an offensive rhythm, scoring their lowest number of points this season. "They started to drop their heads," Kansas interim coach Lynette Woodard said. "I just think the crowd was a little intimidating." An attendance of 12,562 at the United Spirit Center was the second-largest crowd the Jayhawks have seen this season. Position Name Pts. Rebs. Assts.

She learned of the University through its athletics program, she said. In reference to the power of the KUAC board, Bankston said it hadn't operated as a policy-making group since she'd been there, but rather as an advising body. This is Bankston's fourth year serving on KUAC. She said the chancellor had complete control of the Athletics Department, not because the department wanted to ignore KUAC, but because chancellor control was a NCAA rule. Hemenway agreed. "I couldn't get out of that responsibility if I wanted to," Hemenway said. He said chancellor control helped prevent NCAA rules violations and it kept athletics tied to the University. In response to the revenue generated by athletics, Hemenway said, "That's a way for Big 12 members to receive the benefits of coming together." Hemenway said it was important to recognize the significance of athletics in University life. Lew Perkins said the Athletics Department could report to the chancellor but still respond to the will of faculty and students and cited SenEx's control of the faculty and staffs basketball seating "We'vegot to beaccountable to everybody" Perkins said. "But you can only have one boss." plan as an example. Perkins said he thought some of the faculty were just nervous because of all the changes taking place.Tuttle said the faculty had reason to be nervous if KUAC lost power. "I don't want to see the board become a rubber stamp," Tuttle said. - Edited by Michelle Rodick Snowboarder in Kansas? MIDDLE SHORES Megan True/Kansan Thomas Shmalberg.

The 38-year-old Lewis will hold a news conference today amid reports he will retire rather than risk his World Boxing Council title in a rematch against Vitali Klitschko. Secretive to the end, Lewis was keeping his decision to himself. His trainer, Emanuel Steward, did not return calls. But Lewis has made no effort to meet a March 1 deadline set by the WBC to set up a fight with Klitschko, and the consensus among the boxing fraternity is that he will retire. Lewis hasn't even told HBO what he plans to do. The television network paid him tens of millions to fight and has been waiting for months for him to commit one way or another to a second Kiltschko fight. "We have had no contact with Lennox or his representatives," HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg said. "We're standing by." Assuming Lewis does end his 14-year career, he will become the first reigning heavyweight champion to quit since Rocky Marciano in 1956. Muhammad Ali retired with the WBA title in 1978, but came back to lose fights to Larry Holmes and Trevor Berbick. Lewis would leave a legacy of big wins against Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield, but also a reputation for aloofness that never allowed him to connect with boxing fans outside of Britain and Canada, where he grew up. A heavyweight who stood 6-foot-5 but had the boxing skills of a smaller man, Lewis won an Olympic gold medal for Canada and went on to win the heavyweight title three times. Lewis, though, fought infrequently in recent years, winning a huge fight with Tyson in June 2002, and stopping Kiltschko on cuts last June in Los Angeles. Lewis looked ragged against Klitschko. The champion took some big shots to the head and trailed on all three scorecards before the ring doctor ordered the fight stopped at the end of the sixth round because Klitschko was bleeding badly. If Lewis retires, Klitschko would meet No. 2 contender Corrie Sanders for the WBC title. Steward said recently he wanted Lewis to beat Klitschko one more time but would understand if he didn't want the fight. "If you hesitate about making up your mind, that is not good," Steward said. "If he feels he can go back to the training it is going to take, and the grind it is going to take, he should do it." If he wants to go back up the mountain for this one final war, yes, but if he doesn't, my suggestion is just to leave and rest on your laurels." Despite an impressive record (41-2-1) and the victories against Tyson and Holyfield, Lewis' performances tended to be plodding rather than inspiring. His two knockout losses — to Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman — were huge upsets, but he went on to beat both in rematches. His one draw came against Holyfield in a fight most observers felt Lewis won. He later beat Holyfield on points to become undisputed world champion. Former manager Frank Maloney, who guided Lewis through most of his career, said the loss to Rahman in South Africa in April 2001 was a sign he was losing his spark. "I'm surprised he's gone on this long," Maloney said. "He should have gone after the Tyson fight because there was nothing else for him to prove then." The Associated Press 'Playmakers' canned ESPN was proud of Playmakers which showed the network could produce a viable sports drama. But the show, which focused on a fictional team and featured plots that included drug use, marital infidelity, racism and homophobia, angered the NFL. In the end, the network decided it was better to cancel the show on Wednesday after one season than antagonize a longtime, and lucrative, partner. ESPN is paying the NFL $4.8 billion over eight seasons for the rights to Sunday night games. Still, ESPN executive vice president of programming and production Mark Shapiro said the NFL did not pressure the network to cancel the show. "Nobody charts our programming future but us," he said. NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue had expressed concerns that Playmakers was one-dimensional and perpetuated racial stereotypes. The network's partnership with the NFL continues Sunday night, when ESPN will televise the Pro Bowl. "Now we can all move on," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. Playmakers drew praise from some critics, and its 11 episodes were watched by an average of 2 million people each Tuesday night, five times the ratings the network drew for that time slot the previous year. ESPN had aired a variety of shows in the time slot, including NFL Films, original programming like Sports Reporters II and even a college football game between Miami and Marshall. Along with the praise, Playmakers drew criticism from players. Tampa Bay defensive tackle Warren Sapp refused to do interviews with ESPN, although he subsequently did several. By the end of the season, however, there were reports that players approached the network to inquire about roles on the show. KU fans seated in the student section of Allen Fieldhouse wave their arms during a recent basketball game. WHEATIES: Director encourages students to sing CONTINUED FROM 1B Matt Leavitt, Andover junior, said he could fully support the effort as a fan. "It's lacking," Leavitt said. "It's been a tradition forever. I remember hearing it when Jacque Vaughn was playing." Stedham said the "Wheaties" song tradition began in 1971 with a TV commercial featuring all-pro basketball player Willis Reed. In the commercial, Reed is playing poorly until he eats his Wheaties and gets better. The commercial used a jingle and someone suggested to then-KU band director Jim Barnes that he should turn the jingle into a song for the band. He did, and the tradition began. General Mills, maker of Wheaties, heard about it and sent 10,000 boxes of Wheaties to the Final Four that year for fans to "wave the wheat." The tradition has been around ever since and might be around longer if KU fans prime their singing voices for future games. Andrea Hughey, Overland Park senior, said she thought the plan would work. "KU's so rich in tradition, students would do anything to keep change from happening,"she said. — Edited by Nikki Nugent CAMPING: Rules posted to clear up confusion CONTINUED FROM 1B blame the system. Kevin Mechtley, Topeka sophomore, and member of the group Buddy Hawks, said that there had been favoritism toward certain groups, including the Phog Phanatics, in the past and that a new system should be instituted to leave no questions about fairness. "Sitting there and seeing how little trust people have, it's clear that there should be some third party involved," Mechtley said. system was run efficiently. This is how the system works now: Campers arrive at 6 a.m. the day after a home basketball game to submit their group's name into a lottery. The lottery determines the order the camping groups are allowed to enter the seats at Allen Fieldhouse. The lottery can be run by anyone or any combination of groups. Joe Clausing, Wichita graduate student, said that the After the lottery, a member from each group is required to be present at 6 each weekday morning leading up to the game for roll call. The time is moved back to 8 a.m. on weekends. If any group is not represented at roll call, the group gets scratched from the order and pushed to the end of the line. The minimum number of members in a group is five and the maximum is 30. For every five members of a group, one numbered poker chip may be drawn. The lowest number is the one used to determine where the group stands in the order. Clausing, a member of Super K's Cronies, another camping group, said the Phog Phanatics' success was because the group always had a maximum number of picks in the lottery. "Yeah, they got lucky and they've been doing it." Clausing said. Clausing's fellow group member, Adam Lohoefener, said that he ran the lottery and instituted the poker chip system because he had experience doing it. The Oberlin senior said that it was an honor system. "People are just less trusting now," Lohoefener said. "When I was a freshman, I thought the Phog Phanatics were cheating, too." Phog Phanatic Chris Kaufman, Denver junior, agreed that the system was a tribute to the student fan and that it was run effectively. He denied that the Phog Phanatics were cheating, but said that the system could be improved to remove the doubt. "The potential for cheating is increased when students run it," Kaufman said. "We have to trust each other, we're all here for the same reason." Some angry campers have tried to get the University of Kansas involved in the system. Richard Johnson, dean of students, said that he had been confronted by two concerned students, but that the only way the administration would step in to help was in a "non-partisan spectator" role. "I'd rather see the students govern themselves on the matter." Johnson said. Johnson said that the problem that some campers were having was attributed to confusion about policy. Not knowing the rules and regulations made the process difficult to understand. Johnson said. Rules were posted for the first time before the camping for tomorrow's game started. With the rules posted, many campers said that the lottery for the Texas Tech game was the smoothest of the season. At other universities with large basketball programs, such as Duke University, the camping system is student-run, but the regulations are strict. At Kansas, the rules posted at the Fieldhouse are "not official rules, but more of general guidelines on how things run, and have been passed down from one year to another," according to the rule sheet. Camping group leaders will have a meeting with Johnson at the end of the year to determine what, if any, policy changes will be made for the upcoming season. K.C. Miller, Dallas freshman, and member of the group Reno 911, said changes were welcome. "There definitely needs to be an established leader." Miller said. Kaufman, the Phog Phanatic, agreed, but said students should stay in charge. "There's always room for improvement," Kaufman said. "But there's no need for the University to take control." — Edited by Michelle Rodick Worlds Young AUDITIONS!

The Bellevue, Neb., sophomore is running for student body president this year with the KUnited coalition. The position has traditionally been dominated by seniors, but Munch isn't intimidated. In other positions I've found that age hasn't really meant as much as experience," Munch said. "I do have the experience. I've been in Senate two years, I've seen the full spectrum of what it's about." Munch and his running mate, Leawood junior Jeff Dunlap, won their coalition's nomination in November, beating out a handful of other hopefuls. They had the first meeting to kick off their campaign last night. Though Munch said he was definitely the presidential candidate, he expected plenty of help from Dunlap. "We're approaching this as a partnership," Munch said. "Together we're a good team. It's not like Jeff is my subordinate, we're on the same level." 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Munch and Dunlap are freshman and sophomore College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senators and have both been involved in Senate since their freshman years. Munch is currently vice chairman of Munch the campus safety advisory board and also works outside Senate in the Office of New Student Orientation and the Department of Student Housing. Dunlap is chairman of the Senate transportation committee and vice chairman of the Finance Committee, as well as on the parking commission. While both of them have developed extensive resumes, Munch said that wasn't necessarily a priority for them in choosing Senate candidates for their campaign. "We're not looking for people with resumes, we're looking for people with plans." Munch said. Munch and Dunlap said it would take time to develop realistic platform ideas because they wanted to live up to the standards set by past KUnited campaigns. "KUnited has always been about relevance and following through on commitments," Dunlap said. "A lot of research will be involved so we come up with feasible, positive ideas." Munch said he learned from last year's KUnited campaign and current student body president Andy Knopp, who ran with the coalition. "I've always had a lot of respect for Andy," Munch said. "He's just a very easy-to-work-with guy." Dunlap said he and the other KUnited members thought Munch could be as successful as Knopp. "What impressed us with Steve is that he had a vision," Dunlap said. "He thinks long-term, and he knows how to get things done." [Picture] A woman and a man holding an infant.

Katie, Jon and Paige live in Templin Hall. Oh,Baby! By Azita Tafreshii atafreshi@kansan.com Kansan staff writer At only 11 weeks old, Paige is Templin's youngest resident. She lives in a second-floor apartment with her parents: Jon, assistant complex director for Templin, and Katie, desk manager for Templin and Lewis Hall. Paige Davis loves to hang out at the front desk of Templin Hall. She's friends with all the "deskies" and gets a kick out of people-watching as her fellow residents walk by. She just hasn't learned how to tell them why — yet. As the assistant complex director, not Graduate students enjoy Templin and so does their infant daughter only are Jon and his wife allowed to live as a married couple with their daughter in a residence hall, but they also get free room and board. Katie said that although they sometimes got teased for being married graduate students who still live in a residence hall, the arrangement had been practical for them. "It was kind of a sacrifice as a newly married couple, but it's given us the opportunity to build up our savings for a house," Katie said. "We look at that as our motivator." Jon, Newton graduate student, and Katie, Merriam graduate student, have lived in the residence halls since they were freshmen, although not always together. The couple met at an Association of University Residence Hall's leadership conference and started dating after Katie moved onto Jon's floor in Ellsworth Hall in spring 1999. That summer, they were housing interns at GSP-Corbin Hall, and they've been involved with each other and the Department of Student Housing ever since. After living on the same floor in Lewis for a year, they became resident assistants, Jon at Ellsworth and Katie at Hashinger Hall. Proposal may change meter policy By Misty Huber editor@kansan.com editor of the Kansan Kyle Johnson, engineering senator and student representative on the parking commission, will propose a change to the policy that requires paying for parking meters 24 hours a day. University of Kansas students, faculty staff and visitors may soon be able to park at meters on campus for free after 5 p.m. These meters are the short-term meters in front of buildings. Johnson said he thought meters should be free after 5 p.m. because most campus parking is free at that time. Allen Ford, parking commission chairman, said he had not heard complaints about the current policy but said the commission was always looking for ways to improve parking. He said the commission was likely to vote on the proposal at its next meeting on Feb.17. "Id observed that this was a problem, and I've had to pay a lot of parking tickets myself," Johnson said. Johnson said the commission discussed the proposal at a meeting Jan. 27 and it was generally well-received. Samantha Horner, Leawood junior, said she estimated that she received 10 parking tickets at meters at Corbin Hall her freshman year, several after 9 p.m. "That year, there was a complete lack of parking, and if you got there after 7 p.m. you were out of luck," Horner said. Ashley Huggins, Olathe sophomore, also said she would support the reform. She received a ticket at Watkins Memorial Health Center. She paid the meter, but her physical therapy appointment lasted longer than scheduled and her meter expired. Johnson said if the reform passes it would take effect this August. — Edited by Ashley Arnold Dole Institute celebrates life of Lincoln By Rupal Gor rgor@kansan.com Kansan staff writer A program director said he hoped a five-day event will not only celebrate former President Abraham Lincoln's impact on history, but will bring more visitors especially students — into the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. The University of Kansas is hosting Lincoln Week to honor the former president and as part of a celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Kansas Territory. The series began at 7 last night and will continue through Thursday, Lincoln's birthday. Award-winning scholars will speak about different aspects of Lincoln at the institute, located west of the Lied Center. Jonathan Earle, associate director of programming at the institute and associate professor of history, said he wanted to get more of the University community involved at the institute through the Lincoln Week speeches. "I think now with more people thinking of presidency and leadership, one won't be able to avoid thinking about Lincoln's past as to what we are dealing with now," Barle said. The more knowledge people have of the past, the more they can understand the future, said Douglas Wilson, director of the Lincoln Studies Center at Knox College in Galesburg, Ill. He is the author of Honor's Voice, a book about Lincoln's life before he became president. Wilson began the series last night when he spoke about Lincoln before he became a national figure.

At 7 tonight in the Kansas Union at the Ballroom on Level 5, Victoria Moran, life transformation specialist, will present The Tyranny of Effortless Perfection: Body Image, Self-Image, and Crafting a Life that Matters to men and women of the greek community. Moran is a two-time Oprah guest and author of 10 books, including Creating a Charmed Life, which has been translated into 28 languages. In addition to appearing on NBC's Today show and National Public Rado's All Things Considered, Moran has been featured in Time Magazine, USA Today, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, and Self. Women of all ages, and increasingly men as well, think the only standard worth living up to is the impossible standard of perfection. Moran said. "The media influence in our lives today is so strong that people all over this country are displeased with themselves," Moran said. Moran said she would present ways to help her audience tap into their own inner power to realize the strength and potential that each individual has to offer the world, as well as help them make peace with their bodies. College is a vulnerable time in terms of body image, said Jacky Carter, Shawnee sophomore and member of Delta Delta Delta. "People get a misrepresentation, and they strive to be something that's not even real," Carter said. Negative body image is an issue with college students, whether they're greek or not, said Christina Strubbe, vice president of educational programs and scholarships for the Panhellenic Executive Board. But the Leawood sophomore said a presentation of this nature "People get a misrepresentation, and they strive to be something that's not even real." that's not even real." Jacky Carter Shawnee sophomore might be particularly pertinent for greek men and women because of the nature of their living situations. "You are constantly with all men or all women, and it's a lot of competition," Strubbe said. Despite being a relevant issue, body image is not often discussed, Strubbe said. She said it would be good for people to hear Moran's positive message; many who seem confident actually have problems with their self-esteem. "Everyone's trying to be better than the person by them or be just like them," Strubbe said. "People need to be happy with who they are and realize we are a community built on several different kinds of people, and we cherish diversity." Moran said members of the greek community seemed to work very hard to maintain themselves in a variety of ways, whether it be academically, socially, or physically, and it could be easy to go overboard. Pressure to uphold images like these was not a burden unique to women, said Margot Kral-Hasty. The Overland Park senior and member of Pi Beta Phi said she had noticed a general craze toward working out, both within and outside the Greek community. "I think sometimes it focuses too much on the body image aspect instead of the mental and health benefits of it," Kral-Hasty said. People are led to believe they have to fit a certain mold to be happy and fulfilled, but that is not the secret, Moran said. "You don't get it from fitting the mold," Moran said. "You get it from having the nerve to find your own uniqueness." Strubbe said the program was open to all greek men and women and was paid for with Coca-Cola funding and the greek programs budget. — Edited by Louise Stauffer Program offers healthier options By Matt Rodriguez mdrroguez@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Watching what you eat can help you lose weight, but so can watching how much you eat. Within two weeks, every Market restaurant on the third floor of the Kansas Union except Pizza Hut will offer Fresh and Hearty entrees, said Jay Glatz, director for Memorial Unions' food services. Fresh and Hearty is a program that offers students who eat at residence halls and the Market alternatives to high calorie entrees. The program was started a year ago by Watkins Memorial Health Center and the Union. The goal of Fresh and Hearty is to provide students with healthier food options on campus with the idea of improving their diets, said Ann Chapman, Watkins dietitian. The Fresh and Hearty entrees must meet a strict requirement in areas such as fat content and calories. Fresh and Hearty's portions are close to the food guide pyramid's recommended amount, said Jason Arnett, Union Market supervisor. The amount of servings a person eats is often more than they expect, Chapman said. For example, most people don't realize that a serving size of salad greens is only one cup, or about the size of a baseball. Restaurants can be another burden for dieters because of value marketing. This is when restaurants serve more portions for one entree at a lower cost. This makes people think they're saving money or getting more for their dollar. According to Chapman, this marketing approach sends the wrong message to the public what a serving size actually is. Students need to train themselves to recognize what a proper portion looks like. She would like to see more places around campus display nutritional information, including how many portions are in a certain foods. Arnett said the Market did not display the nutritional information per food serving because students tend to overlook that information. "Our staff is trying to educate students about the programs one person at a time," Arnett said. - Edited by Cindy Yeo By Patrick Cady pcady@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Gay marriage OK'd in Massachusetts In the fight for gay rights, Massachusetts took a step forward last week. Wednesday, the state's highest court legalized marriage between same-sex couples. Same-sex marriages could begin taking place by Mav. In Lawrence, some celebrated the decision, but others believe it's a call for continued discussion. "I think it's part of a continuing trend," Aaron Glover, Wichita freshman, said. It's a trend that has been met with opposition. The path has not been easy considering President Bush's support for a male-female definition of the sanctity of marriage during the State of the Union address and the handful of states that have refused support for similar amendments. "Right now we're mired in a political bog," said John Macauley, professor emeritus in religious studies. "It'll continue to fuel debate into the election year," he said. Things have been changing recently, he said. Last year's Lawrence v. Texas ruling found a same-sex sodomy law was unconstitutional. In the past, courts have voted evenly concerning gay rights, Macauley said. Then in New Hampshire, a gay bishop was elected for the first time. Don Haider-Markel, associate professor in political science, said he saw that this ruling could cause similar governmental upheaval, questioning the current federalist system, or how laws react between states. Because of the possibility of a constitutional amendment, the Massachusetts ruling could bring gay rights into even more of a national forefront, Haider- Markel said. Having taught a course on religious issues and the Supreme Court, and serving as a reverend in the Episcopal church, Macauley said the ruling was still a step in the right direction, even though it was slow going at first. Lucy Ash, Jacksonville, Fla. freshman, welcomed these changes, and the Massachusetts decision in particular. "I was really excited," Ash said. "It was a huge breakthrough in terms of stating that same same-sex couples could share a civil union." Macauley also welcomes these changes, but sees that greater value could be had in discussion. "I think the best way to deal with these issues is to bring people of like minds and differing views together and just talk," he said. The Massachusetts decision has also inspired strong words in religious circles. The Rev. Joseph Tung Dang of the International Catholic Apostolic Church said these decisions help support universal values. "In the Catholic Apostolic International church we'll be blessing every couple," Dang said. "Every committed couple can celebrate their love." However, not all share the conception that same-sex marriages are a good thing. "I believe that marriage is an image of the divinity of God shared between a man and a woman," Katie Davis, Overland Park senior, said. "I think the concept of a same-sex marriage is a lie, and the expression of it can never be a reality." Glover said he was glad Massachusetts ruled in favor of gay marriage, but things were still far from perfect. "I think there is still a lot left to do," Glover said. - Edited by Collin LaJoie ...

Online. --- 4A the university daily kansan opinion monday, february 9, 2004 FACE OFF No Iraqi weapons found; was war justified? War losses too great The United States should not go to war unless the call to arms is completely justified. The 1970s military debacle of the Vietnam War showed the country that we shouldn't risk American lives unless there is an imminent threat to our country or to the world. Before bringing the United States into the Iraq conflict, President Bush tried to convince the country that such a threat existed. He told the country how Saddam Hussein had stockpiled weapons of mass destruction and stressed the importance of a preemptive strike. The strategy worked. The plan to go to Iraq had bipartisan support. Nearing the end of the conflict, it was clear that these weapons never existed. In recent months, leaders such as Secretary of State Colin Powell have been forced to concede that no such weapons are likely to be found in Iraq, while Bush dodges any questions about weapons of mass destruction. instead, the party line has shifted to the politically savvy stance of, "the world is a better place without Saddam Hussein leading Iraq." It's impossible to dispute this. But it's a distraction from the real issue: was the war justified? Of course it's great for the world to get rid of an insane dictator. But it's not worth risking American lives unless a threat to the safety of our country exists. The "world is a better place" argument doesn't provide much solace for the families of the nearly 300 American soldiers who died in Iraq, the lives cut short for a cause that is more political than moral. Hussein was a tyrannical dictator, but such dictators are not unique to Iraq. Just ask North Korea's Kim Jong II, or the authoritarian leaders of many African countries. War is the most dangerous of human action, capable of ripping the world apart at the seams. Every time we take arms against another country under false pretenses, we come one step closer to permanently destroying the tenuous peace that exists in the world today.

I HEAR YOU MAN — AND ITS NOT LIKE MY — I MEAN, HIS REGIME EXECUTED THOUSANDS OF SHIITES AND HOARDED THE NATIONS WEALTH—THAT'S ALL LIES BY THE MEDIA. YA-THE MEDIA. Iraq always a threat Democrats were downright giddy over the news that the United States may never find the weapons of mass destruction believed to be in Iraq. The anti-war crowd is rejoicing the misguided assertion that President Bush used poor intelligence to substantiate the case for war. It was President Clinton in 1998 who made the case to take action against Hussein. "If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear," he said. "We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." Conveniently they forget their own comments on how dangerous Iraq was with Saddam Hussein in power. They knew what Bush knew. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) the front runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, voiced his concerns back in January 2003. "And now he [Bush] is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction," Kerry said. "So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real?" And how soon they forget that the war in Iraq was not only justified, but crucial to securing America, Iraq and the world at large, despite the lack of weapons of mass destruction. Iraqis are experiencing more freedom now than they ever dreamed before. They were an oppressed people, routinely and brutally murdered by the hundreds of thousands. There will be no more mass graves; just more opportunities to live in a democratized society. We know now that Iraq has been a safe haven for Al Qaeda operatives, and they're still being captured there. Progress will continue to be made in Iraq despite the haranguing from the left that Bush has lied. There's no mistaking the fact that Bush did right by stopping the real threat of Hussein before it strengthened any further. Alex Hoffman for the editorial board. PERSPECTIVE Show highlights looks not talent Notice to all female students at the University of Kansas: Because of noticeable trends in the marketability of potential employees, the hierarchy of classes has now changed. For a woman to effectively enter the job market, women should now enroll in several Health, Sport and Exercise Science classes. It has become increasingly apparent that women not only need to have intelligence and ability to succeed in the job marketplace, but they also need to have short skirts, low shoes and high heels. COMMENTARY The view of women in the workplace has changed since the airing of The Apprentice. Donald Trump's newest endeavor is a televised job interview. The show has been set up, for the first four episodes, as men versus women, and the losing team loses a team member. So far the ladies team has won all four contests. They sold lemonade, made an advertising campaign, dealt with retailers and managed Times Square's Planet Hollywood for a night. The body within the receding hem lines also needs to fit specific standards. Therefore class is secondary to the priorities of working out, primping and tanning. Erin Riffey opinion@kansan.com They sold lemonade for $5 a glass by flirting with men on the streets of New York City. They used jets as phallic symbols for magazine ads. They charmed business owners to give them deals on goods and services from golf clubs to leg waxes. Finally, they dressed up in tight shirts and low-rise jeans and paraded around the restaurant as Shooter Girls. After the last victory, Trump confronted them during their golf-resort reward. He told them to tone down the use of sexuality to win. While he may say that they are concentrated too much on sexuality, his actions do not back up his words. Not only are the girls usually scantily clad, but apparently the show could not find any successful businesswomen who wear over a size three. While they found people who have succeeded with only a GED or a high school diploma, they do not have any women who are pleasantly plump or a little pudgy. Having an overweight woman on a reality show would be too risky. We wonder why anorexia and bulimia are such prevalent problems today. But girls are being spoon-fed that to be an actress you must be skinny. Now even reality shows are following the TV weight scale. Girls and women who watch this show are given the message that they have to look like the "real people" on television to be successful. This message has to stop. The show concentrates on their sexual But on the guy's side, the men range from overweight, short, ugly and balding. Then they threw in a few cute ones. ity, not only during the competitions, but also in their lofts. Apparently none of the women own any casual clothes that can cover their mid-drift, rear end or chest.

Europeans might be able to find it at the corner pharmacy in the form of a pot-based painkiller, which awaits release in the United Kingdom later this year. GW Pharmaceuticals, a British drug company, wants to release the painkiller, called Sativex, in a matter of months. Sativex, made from liquid cannabis extract, contains mainly tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the most powerful compound in marijuana. Although THC is commonly associated with the "high" feeling of marijuana, drug-makers claim Sativex does not make users high. Sativeve ia also fast-acting. Users spray it under their tongue, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream, then travels to the brain to relieve pain. After gaining approval in the United Kingdom, drug sales may be extended to all of Europe and Canada through a partnership with Bayer. According to the GW Web site, the company expects to sell the drug in the United States in just two to three years. The Food and Drug Administration did not comment publicly on the matter. The news may be a victory for sufferers of multiple sclerosis, the drug's first target recipients. However, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is still skeptical of the results. The drug appears to have significant benefits for patients, but researchers are not sure if the positive effects are real or perceived. The largest opposition has to do with the unclear but strengthening tie between marijuana use and increased risk of developing schizophrenia. Research affirms that marijuana use seems to trigger schizophrenic symptoms, or aggravate existing symptoms. The latest British study, completed in 2002, shows that pot smokers are twice as likely to develop schizophrenia as others. Edited by Louise Stauffer Interstate shooting reported The Associated Press JEFFERSONVILLE, Ohio — A van and a Mercedes were shot minutes apart yesterday on an interstate in a region where a series of 21 sniper shootings have occurred, investigators said. The gunfire seems consistent with the sniper shootings along Interstate 270 south of Columbus, based on initial evidence, Franklin County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Steve Martin. No injuries were reported in yesterday's shootings, which happened about 11:30 a.m. on Interstate 71 near Jeffersonville, about 40 miles southwest of Columbus, said Jerri Redfern, a dispatcher with the State Highway Patrol. He stopped short of linking the two shootings to the serial gunfire. One person has died in the serial shootings, which have targeted vehicles, schools and homes since May. Authorities were looking for a dark sports car that may have been connected to the gunfire. Martin said the shots were fired from two overpasses about one mile apart. Witnesses said they saw a white man in his 30s or 40s and a small, dark-colored vehicle on the overpasses. Authorities have said some shots in the previous cases came from overpasses. At the Flying J travel plaza about a mile from the shootings, a bullet hole was visible in the hood of the Mercedes. After being questioned by an investigator, a man walked back to his car, saying, "I got shot at." He declined to answer questions. The Fayette County Sheriff's office identified the Mercedes driver as Douglas Berry of Mansfield, and a sheriff's report identified the van driver as Cheryl Shreyer of Baltimore, Ohio. Neither could be reached for comment yesterday. Authorities had taken two juveniles with a pellet gun into custody after yesterday's shootings, but ultimately determined they were not connected to the crimes, State Highway Patrol Lt. Rick Fambro said. The youths were in a car matching the witnesses' description, he added. One lane of I-71 was closed for part of the afternoon as police searched the area of yesterday's shootings. Officers were seen examining a van parked at a gas station off 1-71 and a car parked on the highway shoulder about two miles away.

Some of these resources, including testimony about a love affair Lincoln had with a woman named Ann Rutledge, have been discovered within the past 15 years. After Rutledge died, Lincoln had a breakdown, Wilson said. This evidence was removed from his biography by Lincoln scholars who thought this episode in Lincoln's life was just a myth. But that story was every bit as credible as the other stories in Lincoln's life, Wilson said. The four other speakers this week will focus on the impact Lincoln has made in history, from lectures about his personal life to the Civil War. Earle said the Kansas community could learn more about Kansas and where it stood during the time of the Lincoln era. The Lincoln Week series is one of the first major events since Richard Norton Smith resigned as director of the Dole Institute in October to become director of the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum in Springfield, Ill. "This event is more focused on students and faculty and the people interested in history," Earle said. - Edited by Cindy Yeo Kerry leads in Maine; others vow to continue The Associated Press John Kerry seized an early lead in the Maine caucuses yesterday as the Democratic front-runner sought a three-state weekend sweep to boost his daunting advantage in the primary race. Based on early returns, the Democratic Party in Maine said the Massachusetts senator had 48 percent of the statewide vote. Howard Dean was second with 25 percent and Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio was third with 14 percent. The results were based on reports from 100 of 400 municipalities. State Party Chairwoman Dorothy Melanson, in providing the results, said it was too early to declare a winner. At stake were 24 John Edwards and Wesley Clark, who focused their attention on other contests, had 8 percent and 4 percent. pledged delegates to the Democratic National Convention. Kerry, campaigning like a front-runner Sunday, ignored his primary opponents and criticized Bush on Iraq. He picked up backing from Virginia Gov. Mark Warner. Clark, Dean and Edwards, appearing separately on yesterday's television talk shows, all said they would continue to challenge Kerry for the Democratic nomination despite his advantage in the polls and endorsements and his wins in nine of the first 11 primaries. Dean, the former front-runner and winless since the start of voting, declined in separate interviews to repeat his earlier assertion that he would withdraw from the race if he lost the Feb. 17 Wisconsin primary. "Real voters are going to decide who the nominee is," Dean said on CNN's "Late Edition." Both Clark and Edwards said they expected to run well in the next three primaries _ Virginia and Tennessee on Tuesday and Wisconsin _ but would remain in the race regardless. Clark, en route to a jobs forum in Racine, Wis., said on CNN that he would run at least through the March 2 "Super Tuesday" primaries, including in California, Ohio and New York. "We've got a lot of support across this country," said Clark, a retired Army general. "We do expect to go on and do expect to be there on Super Tuesday." Edwards noted on "Fox News Sunday" that some 75 percent of delegates to the Democratic National Convention will still be up for grabs after Wisconsin votes. "I view this very much as a long-term process, and we're in this for the long term," said the North Carolina senator, who visited Baptist churches in Richmond, Va., before attending a Democratic dinner in Nashville, Tenn., that Clark also planned to attend. American Research Group polls give Kerry sizable leads in all three states: 11 points over Edwards and 12 over Clark in Tennessee: 13 points over Edwards and 18 over Clark in Virginia; and 26 points over Clark and 31 over Edwards in Wisconsin. The margin of error in each poll taken last week was plus or minus 4 points. Kerry also has more than twice as many delegates as his closest pursuer, with 411 to Dean's 175, according to an Associated Press tally. It takes 2,162 delegates to win the nomination. Accepting Warner's endorsement in Richmond, Kerry said Bush had not fully answered questions about whether he fulfilled his National Guard Service. Bush responded on NBC's "Meet the Press" by saying he reported for duty and that his critics were wrong. BABY: Newborn adjusts to residence hall living CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A Because they were dating, Jon and Katie were not allowed to be RAs in the same hall, but when Jon became the desk manager and computer lab manager for Ellsworth in Fall 2001, Katie was allowed to be an RA in Ellsworth as well. They got married that summer and moved in to their Templein apartment the following fall. Kelly Murphy said even while she was their RA in Lewis, she thought Jon and Katie were meant for each other. The Overland Park graduate student said Katie's bouncy, free-spirited nature complements Jon's quieter, more reserved personality. Murphy said she wasn't sure how having a baby would change "The first thing Katie did was pick up her old child development books to see what she was supposed to do at each stage," Murphy said. the couple, but now it seems like a natural part of their dynamic. Cori Kramer, Katie's sister, said that like any new parents, Jon and Katie were somewhat overprotective. But their willingness to let Paige socialize with other residents is part of what makes them good parents, the Merriam sophomore said. "She sees lots of different people all the time, so she has no problem with strangers or anything," Katie said. "She just kind of goes with the flow." Diana Garcia, desk assistant at Templin, said she thought raising a baby in a residence hall takes a lot of guts. The Lewisville, Texas, sophomore said that at first, the idea of a baby living in a residence hall setting was strange for some residents, but thought the situation had worked out well. "They've been really good about keeping it pretty low-profile," Garcia said. "I really don't think it interferes with the dorm atmosphere at all." Though it may seem unconventional, Katie said living in Templin has actually made their situation more manageable. With Jon in his second year of law school and Katie working on her master's degree in education, she said juggling everything on their plates was tough, but they have even more help than they need from their family and friends. "We wouldn't be able to do it we didn't live in the halls." Jon said. "If you move off campus, it's not a central location surrounded by people you've known for years." The noise in Templin also hasn't been a problem, Katie said. She said Paige was used to the everyday commotion of the residence hall, and it had actually made her a better sleeper. "She's got a lot of flexibility and adaptability that I don't think a normal baby would have," Katie said. Now in their second year at Templin, Katie said they have begun to outgrow their apartment, and ion said they planned to move to either Jayhawker Towers or Stouffer Place next year so they would have more space. Regardless of where they lived, he said that they were not worried that living in a college environment would have a negative effect on their daughter. "Most people are respectful." Jon said. "Once they figure out there's a baby there, all those bad influences that college students may have kind of just go away." In the meantime, Jon said Paige motivated him to finish law school and get out into the real world. He said he was looking forward to moving into a house where Paige could have her own bedroom and a yard. "Right now, she has everything she needs," Jon said, "but we want to get her the things that in a year or two we know she'll want." Until that time, Jon said a lot of love and support would help he and Katie to manage their hectic schedules while still being good parents to Paige. Especially as full-time students, Katie said, life could get complicated, but the rewards were great. "It's totally good it," she said "She's a good, good baby."

After the game, Knight said Kansas had played as well offensively as any team he had seen all year. By Mike Norris mnorris@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter No one has ever accused Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight of being too nice. "You've got a really good team, Kansas," he said to Jayhawk fans as he headed through the visitors tunnel and into the locker room. But after his Red Raiders were spanked by Kansas 96-77 Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse, he might have been just that. Jayhawk fans expecting a blowup from the fiercely tempered Knight were sorely disappointed. He remained calm for most of the game. "I thought that Kansas offensively played as well as any team that I've really seen play this year," Knight said. "Certainly as well as anybody we've played against." The only time Knight showed any signs of having one of his classic tantrums was with about eight minutes remaining in the first half. With Kansas leading the Red Raiders 34-24, Jayhawk junior guard Michael Lee was whistled for a foul. Knight thought the call should have gone against junior point guard Aaron Miles. for pongalayam. The coach ran down the court, his face turning bright red, frantically waving both index fingers, signaling the foul should have been on number 11 — Miles. After a time-out, the officials huddled together and came to the conclusion Knight was correct. Kansas fans responded with chants of "Sit down Bobby," and later added "salad tosser," referring to his argument at a salad bar with Texas Tech chancellor David Smith early last week. Self also said that had the crowd focused all of their attention on Knight it would have been beating a dead horse. When Knight was asked if the altercation from the past week had hurt the team, he quickly said he didn't think so, and asked if there were any more questions But because Knight did not allow any of his players to talk with the media after the game, it was unclear if it had distracted any of them. He said this Self coached team "Good teams are good teams," Knight said. "And this is a damn good team." hasn't changed much from the days of Roy Williams.

Kansas Basketball Notebook Moody the maniac — Sophomore forward Christian Moody was one of the Jayhawks' biggest contributors Saturday afternoon.

But the problem is that a basketball game lasts 40 minutes. Led by Larisha Graves with 17 points and 5 rebounds, the Jayhawks managed to catch up from an early six-point deficit, and to take a 4 point lead after nine minutes of the first half. From there, the lead would see swaw back and forth with neither team going ahead by more than four. The score was 27-24 in favor of Nebraska at the half. "Coach Yori told us a lot at half," Nebraska junior guard Jina Johansen said. "We needed to play harder and get on the offensive boards." For 10 minutes, Yori's words appeared to have fallen on deaf "Any time a team is making a run, you notice the intensity. Especially when they have that home-field advantage and the crowd behind them. They were ready." Crystal Kemp Sophomore forward ears. However, in the last 10 minutes of the second half, Nebraska came alive. Kansas interim coach Lynette Woodard said that at the end of the game, her team let down its guard. "We played well for 32 minutes," Woodard said. "I think about then we started to rest a little bit, because Nebraska wasn't getting those shots." It was then that Nebraska went to a zone defense, which effectively stifled the Kansas offense. The change appeared to confuse the Kansas team, and forced it to take shots that it had not had to take earlier. By the time the game was over, the Jayhawks would be shooting 32.4 percent from the field, including 0-4 three-point shots. "We felt like we were getting beat off the dribble a lot," Nebraska coach Connie Yori said. "so we felt like we needed to go to that." Then the Cornhuskers seemed to remember Yori's halftime words. In the second half, Nebraska out-rebounded Kansas 27-16. That edge allowed Nebraska 11 second-chance points after halftime. Kansas had two second-chance points in each half. "We got hurt quite a bit on the boards," Woodard said. For the game, Nebraska pulled down 15 more boards than Kansas. The Kansas women were without freshman standout and team-leading rebounder Lauren Ervin. Ervin, who averages 6.9 rebounds per contest, was suspended for one game because she missed Wednesday's game against Texas Tech, and did not follow proper team policy. "They had two or three players on our side; it was hard to figure out who to box out. Plus they had everyone coming at the boards," sophomore forward Crystal Kemp said. All of those facts alone did not cause Kansas' defeat. Instead, a 27-7 run at the end of the game propelled Nebraska to its 11-point victory, 59-48. That run had been preceded by 11 straight Kansas points, which had Kansas leading by nine. "Any time a team is making a run, you notice the intensity," Kemp said. "Especially when they have that home-field advantage and the crowd behind them. They were ready." Both teams, however, faced scoring droughts throughout the game. Ultimately, it came down to which team's offense broke down in the final minutes of the game. Nebraska went 10 minutes at the beginning of the second half without a field goal, while Kansas had two four-minute stretches without a single point. Lost in all the scoring draughts and general inability to rebound, two Kansas players had standout games. Junior guard Larisa Graves had 17 points, 14 of which came in the first half, and sophomore forward Tamara Ransburg recorded her second double-double of the season. Ransburg had 13 total rebounds, nine of those in the second half. "She was on the boards. We talked to her about feeling that energy, but she has to want the ball more." Woodard said. — Edited by Collin LaJoie Ervin serves suspension at Nebraska competition Women's Basketball University of Kansas interim women's basketball coach Lynette Woodard announced Saturday that freshman Lauren Ervin would serve a one-game suspension for violation of team rules. Ervin, who traveled with the team to Lincoln,Neb.,served her suspension at the Nebraska game. Woodard and Ervin met on Saturday afternoon. "Lauren and I have met, and I think she is able to understand what I was trying to get across to her in terms of team policies," Woodard said. "She will sit out tonight's game and we will take it from there." The 6-foot-4 freshman from Inglewood, Calif., has played in 18 games this season, starting in one. She averages 7.7 points and a team-best 6.9 rebounds per game. Colorado pulls out last second victory over Kansas State The Associated Press - Staff reports BOULDER, Colo. — On the list of consecutive Big 12 road losses, this one ranked No. 20 for Kansas State. On the scale of heartbreak, it was near the toon. The Wildcats (10-9, 2-6 Big 12) had an 81-80 lead at Colorado Saturday with 4 seconds left. The ball was in the hands of a Colorado player who had not scored all day. But that wouldn't last. Jayson "We never thought we'd lose. Not once. We never gave up hope." Tim Ellis Senior guard Obauayuze hit a driving lay-up with 3.6 seconds left, lifting Colorado to an.82-81 victory and dooming the Wildcats on a day they outplayed the opposition in almost every way. "They outshot us at the free-throw line, outrebounded us and just outplayed us," said Colorado coach Ricardo Patton. "I don't believe the best team won the game." "It's the first game-winning shot of my career." Obazuaye said. "It was my only bucket of the game, but it was the game-winner." Blair Wilson scored 26 points, including 7-of-10 from 3-point range, for Colorado (13-7, 5-4). David Harrison added 19 points and Michel Morandais 18 for the Buffaloes, who squandered an 11-point lead with 3:49 remaining. Kansas State, which has lost 15 straight road games overall, was led by Tim Ellis with 25 points and Jeremiah Massey with 21 points and 12 rebounds. The Wildcats haven't won a road game in the conference since beating Colorado on March 3,2001. come to you just like a pass and watching it slip right through your hands," Ellis said. "It was like watching the win There were nine ties and 10 lead changes in the first half before Wilson began putting on a shooting display. He hit 3-pointers on three straight possessions at one point. Ellis missed a desperation shot at the buzzer. Wilson's 3-pointer with 9:02 left gave Colorado a 67-56 lead, then five straight points by Massey helped Kansas State trim the deficit to five points. "We never thought we'd lose," Ellis said. "Not once. We never gave up hope." Thirteen of Kansas State's last 16 losses have been by 10 points or fewer. "It's frustrating — big-time frustrating," said Kansas State coach Jim Wooldridge. "It's really tough. You win a game like this, and your season looks different. Everything looks different." New kansan com $15 SPRAY~ON TAN Spray on your tan in seconds!

Senior Day successful for women's swim team swimming and diving The University of Kansas swimming and diving team celebrated senior day with a victory against the Arkansas Razorbacks 181-119 at the Robinson Natatorium. Kansas finished the 2003-04 season 9-3 overall and 2-2 in the Big 12, their best record since 1996. Five seniors, Kim Bolin, Ashley Dower, Megan Himes, Kristen Johnson and Whitney Sondall, were honored at the meet. Sunday, June 21 Juniors Amy Gruber and Miranda Isaac were the highlights of the day Saturday. Gruber won the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle and the 100-yard butterfly. Isaac placed first in the 100-yard and 200-yard breaststroke. 200-yard B. Bradley Sondall, Bolin, Gruber and freshman Hannah Bakke made up the first-place 200-yard medley relay team, Freshman diver Shelly Noonan finished third in both the one-meter and three-meter competitions. The Jayhawks begin postseason play with the Big 12 tournament in Austin, Texas Feb. 25-28. Staff reports Track and Field Leo Bookman leads team, breaks invitational record To say junior Leo Bookman has had a good three-week stretch would be an understatement. After hitting the NCAA provisional qualifying mark, then winning big in front of a hometown crowd, everyone was waiting for his encore performance at Saturday's Husker Invitational. He didn't disappoint. Bookman broke the invitational record with his 200-meter dash time of 20.97. Frank Fredericks of BYU previously held the record. He went on to become a silver medalist in the Olympics. Jayhawk coach Stanley Redwine is running out of adjectives to describe Bookman. "You can't give the guy enough credit. Every time he goes out there, he does something special," Redwine said. Team results were not kept at the meet, but Redwine said he saw signs of improvement in the Jayhawk team. The improvement will be crucial as the Jayhawks head further into the season. Saturday's meet featured the toughest competition the Jayhawks had seen all year. Ten of the schools represented were ranked in the Trackwire Top 25. Other notable performances for the Jayhawks included a second-place finish in the women's 4X400 relay with a time of 3:44.39. Also, freshman Benson Chesang finished second in the 3000-meter run with a time of 8:11.13. Bookman and company will compete on Friday and Saturday in the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark. and the ISU Classic in Ames, Iowa.

The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Halfway through the Big 12 conference season, all-star voters are ready to study their ballots and focus their views. The players will answer the question of who has the best team. Favorites at the moment would seem to be either Kansas, Oklahoma State or Texas, who are tied at 7-1 in the conference with eight games to go. But which team has the best player? Coach? Freshman? Those weighty matters will be decided by media voters, using an entirely subjective set of factors including statistics, circumstances and expectations. While too many key games remain to say for sure which coaches and individuals will eventually deserve recognition, that's no reason not to take an educated guess now. Bearing in mind how quickly things change, here's one observer's opinion at the midway point as to the league's best, worst, least and most: Player of the year: Andre Emmett of Texas Tech. He's been picked Big 12 player of the week an unprecedented five times and is on his way to leading the conference in scoring for the second season in a row. The 6-foot-5 Dallas native was smart to stav in school for his senior season. Coach of the year: A close call as of now. But why not Eddie Sutton of Oklahoma State? Nobody expected much of the Cowboys, who returned only two players But they're on their way to their 12th NCAA tournament appearance in Sutton's 14 years at his alma mater. Kansas' Bill Self may also draw support. And for a sentimental choice, it's hard to top Baylor's Scott Drew. Saturday's 72-64 victory over Texas A&M gave the Bears two Big 12 wins, which is roughly twice as many as anyone had a right to expect of a program with only six scholarship players. They are still reeling from the tragic events of last summer. Yet, Drew has the Bears playing with confidence and heart. Freshman of the year: Curtis Stinson, Iowa State. He had 19 points Saturday in the Cyclones' 88-67 loss to Sutton's Cowboys and is averaging almost 16. But there are a number of candidates. The Big 12 appears to have one of the strongest freshman classes in the nation. Best point guard: Aaron Miles of Kansas. The quick junior has more than twice as many assists as any other player in league games and is the acknowledged heart and soul of the Jayhawks. Biggest disappointment: Missouri. It's no contest. Hard-luck Texas A&M certainly figured to be better than 0-8 at this point and Kansas State lost its 15th straight road game Saturday when Colorado's Jayson Obauzauye hit a driving layup with 3.6 seconds left for an 82-81 victory. But a preseason poll of coaches named Quin Snyder's talented, experienced Tigers as the conference favorites. And they were barely competitive in a 78-62 loss on Saturday at Nebraska that dropped them to 9-10 and 4-5. dropped off-the-court and on-the-court problems seem to have the Tigers at war with themselves. themselves: Moreover, the players appear less and less interested as the dreary days of this demoralizing season slip by. Most embarrassing loss: this, too, is loaded with possibilities. Missouri's 71-67 home loss to tiny Belmont is looking less and less like the stunning upset it was deemed on Dec. 30. Maybe the most embarrassing loss was Richmond's 69-68 upset of Kansas. Kansas State fans would say it was their team's 93-52 crushing by UMKC. It's the 41-point spread that shocked them. It's not just that a Big 12 team lost to a Mid-Continent team. Coach most in danger of being fired: If an ongoing NCAA investigation results in steep penalties, alreadyrestive Missouri could decide to ditch Snuder. Texas A&M's Melvin Watkins is yet to have a winning season in six years and the Aggies may be losing patience. the Aggies may be going to Kansas State's Jim Wooldridge? He's failed to show much progress in four seasons. But the Wildcats have also had two straight recruiting classes that appear to show great promise, and Wooldridge is expected to be allowed to coach the final year of his five-year contract. 25% Off KU BOOKSTORES OPEN MONDAY /TILL 5:00PM Organization Name: National Union District: Minneapolis Unit Number: Floor No.: 2460 Phone No.: (212) 457-4893 Email: sales@ku-bookstores.com KU BOOKSTORES BIG BLUE MONDAY!

'Hawks face tough arena Three Jayhawks will return home to face the 12th ranked Cowboys By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter There's no doubt the Jayhawks' 96 point outburst Saturday was their best offensive performance of the season. The two teams are tied for first place in the Big 12, and as the schedule winds down, the game could have implications on who wins the conference regular season title. observe performance harder than that will be proving that it can be done again when No. 20 Kansas (15-4 overall, 7-1 Big 12 Conference) travels to Stillwater, Okla., tonight for its only matchup of the season with the No. 13 Oklahoma State Boys (17-2, 7-1) southey: "I think Monday is probably the biggest game of the year for us so far," said freshman forward David Padgett. Gallagher-Iba Arena is one of the toughest atmospheres for a visiting team in college basketball. The Cowboys are a perfect 10-0 at home this year, but the Jayhawks could stand a chance with an offensive performance somewhat like Saturday's. Against Texas Tech, Kansas' 96 points was the most the Jayhawks have scored since it scored 108 points against Arizona State in last season's NCAA tournament. The trip to Oklahoma State also presents a couple of interesting subplots. Kansas coach Bill Self, a native of Edmond, Okla., played for the Cowboys from 1982-85, and was an assistant coach in Stillwater from 1987-93. In his "This game, since we only play them once, could really come down to who wins the Big 12 Championship. We're going to expect a war in probably one of the toughest places to play." Wayne Simien Junior forward final three years as an Oklahoma State assistant, he served under coach Eddie Sutton, and now looks to upend one of his coaching mentors. Self is 1-3 against Oklahoma State in his head coaching career. For Giddens, the trip home could not come at a more perfect time. The freshman had his 10th double-digit scoring effort of the season on Saturday, tying his career-high with 18 points. Giddens will have plenty of friends and family cheering for him in the stands, but hopes for a different type of crowd reaction to get him going. Also returning to their home states are freshman guards J.R. Giddens (Oklahoma City) and Jeremy Case (McAlester). miming going. "I hope I at least get a cheer or a clap or two." Giddens said. "But we're ready to just go down there in that great basket-ball atmosphere and just fight for our lives." KANSAS (15-4,7-1) Probable Starters Name Pos. No. Yr.

Oklahoma State is built in the same mold as Kansas, with efficient scorers that are tied together by a heady point guard. Facing Aaron Miles will be John Lucas. Lucas is the Cowboys' second-leading scorer in his first season in Stillwater after two years at Baylor. The biggest benefit for Kansas is the quick turnaround between Saturday's Texas Tech game and tonight's contest "This game, since we only play them once, could really come down to who wins the Big 12 Championship," junior forward Wayne Simien said. "We're going to expect a war in probably one of the toughest places to play." The Jayhawks are 2-0 this season on Monday nights following weekend games, including last Monday's 65-56 victory against Missouri. sports commentary — Edited by Cindy Yeo Keith Langford sports@kansan.com Resolution: Play hard, stay upbeat Well, well, well. For all of you who thought that last semester was the end of the column, I am about to get right back in the mix. For all who haven't heard, over the winter holidays we were up and down. I feel that this team is just now starting to understand that we are going to win games on the defensive end this year as opposed to runnin' and gunnin'. well, anyone who thinks like that, listen to this. No matter what offense you run, no matter what plays you design, your performance will be based on personnel. opposed to runnwe are still going to run, but with a defensive emphasis. The last month or so I have really been tired of being asked this one question: Why do you guys run the high low? Y'all need to run. fortnance will be based simply I would guarantee anyone if last year's team ran this year's plays, everyone would claim how great the team looked. People fail to realize that two lottery picks can do a hell of a job making nothing look like something. something. This is what I love about basketball, and sports in general. It's the challenge. Anyone who has ever set foot on a court or a field of any kind can tell you that. That does not mean you have to run and scream and pound your chest a la J.R. Giddens (I still love you cuz). Ultimately you just have to get the job done. In the words of my coach, "Hey guys, it's okay to win ugly." And in the words of former teammate Lew Harrison, "True, true, true." That's an inside joke. If it was easy, guess what? Everybody could do it. One thing that I have learned since I've been here is that you are supposed to be at your best when things are tough. On a serious note though, everybody has big goals in mind. Win conference, win the NC, but this team is not focused on any of the above. We are focused on playing the best we possibly can. The rest will take care of itself. Energy will be the emphasis for the rest of the year if we want to keep winning. Because this is a new year, I have decided to form a New Year's resolution. I am going to try — keep in mind the word try — to remain a positive voice when it comes to outside voices about our team. That is easier said than done though. Having said that, I do like to look at people who get all bent up inside when I speak my mind. Any way, now you know I could not be out without giving shouts to my people. The first shout out of the new year goes to the one and only white team. This goes out to eight of the hardest working cats I have ever been around. Holla. Keith Langford is Fort Worth, Texas, junior in journalism Courtney Kohlen/Kansan Wayne Simien pulled down a rebound in the second half of Saturday's game against Texas Tech. Simien led the team in rebounds with 17 and also led scoring with 22 points. Offense carries'Hawks By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter The No. 17 Kansas Jayhawks (15-4 overall, 7-1 Big 12) shot 50.7 percent from the floor, and used a consistent offensive attack to trouble the No. 18 Red Raiders, 96-77 (17-5, 5-3). The resulting 96 points was the first time the Jayhawks have hit the 90-point barrier since opening night, and is their highest output of the season. The Texas Tech Red Raiders entered Saturday's game in Allen Fieldhouse ranking fourth in the Big 12 Conference in points allowed per game, averaging just a shade under 63. "Defensively, I think it was an average effort," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "We didn't throw it over the top, we were able to make the shot from the top, and that is what this offense is sun- Who would have known?

The Lawrence City Commission will decide tonight if it will renew the Replay Lounge's expired license. By Dave Nobles dnobles@kansan.com Kansas staff writer The drinking license of the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., expired more than 60 days ago. In the past, the city issued license renewal reminders to bars 60 days before a license would expire. The Replay did not receive a notice this time and was unaware that its license had expired. The Lawrence City Commission will decide tonight whether the Replay Lounge will be able to keep its liquor license. Frank Reeb, director of administrative services at the city clerk's office, said that sending out notices was not required, and that the reason why the letters were not sent to the Replay Lounge was a heavy workload. "It was more of a courtesy than anything else," Reeb said. "We were focusing on some other things and we just stopped sending out the letters." The city clerk's office began sending out similar notices again Jan. 1. It won't be so easy for Replay Lounge to get its license back because the Salvation Army Methodist Church is right around the corner. In accordance with Lawrence City code, a waiver must be granted to permit the sale of alcoholic beverages within 400 feet of a church. The Salvation Army Methodist Church is close enough to the Replay Lounge for a waiver to be needed.

She turned the thermostat up and waited. She checked all the rooms in the house at 1817 Illinois St., but only the basement warmed. The Kansas City, Miss. senior called her landlord, Ashley Funderburk, on Jan. 29 to ask what she should do. Funderburk said she would send someone out to look at the furnace that day, Beesley said. Beesley waited. The temperature in the house fell. The next day, she called Funderburk back to tell her no one came to fix the furnace. "She told me that it was too bad no one came out," Beesley said. The next day, Beesley called Berry Walthal, Lawrence codes enforcement manager, to see if something could be done. The codes inspector came out the next day, and Walthal said that Funderburk's house violated several Lawrence uniform housing codes. It was not the first time for Funderburk, either. According to Codes Enforcement records, of the five Lawrence homes Funderburk owns, all have violated code at one time during her ownership. Funderburk did not return phone calls for this story. In August 2002, tenant Seth Hoffman called Codes Enforcement about Funderburk's house at 1812 Illinois St., across the street from the house Beesley rents. Inspectors found 18 code violations in the house, including plastic shoved in holes in the walls in place of insulation, according to Codes Enforcement records.

Pazira was born in India but grew up during the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. She moved with her family to Pakistan in 1989 and lived there as a refugee for a year before moving to Canada. Pazira said while some aspects of life in Afghanistan nave improved since the removal of the Taliban, poverty has worsened. When she traveled there last year, she saw school-aged children everywhere, begging for money instead of attending school. "I'm worried for the future of these Afghans," Pazira said. "They can easily become attracted to warlords and gangs." Pazira said she thought her experiences of growing up in Afghanistan — receiving a college education in Canada and then returning to the Middle East — had given her a unique perspective. She said her role as a journalist was to inform others of the events taking place in Afghanistan. "I'm not a savior, I'm not a saint. I just love to create bridges of communication between people." Pazira said. She said she met director Mohsen Makhmalbaf while she was trying to enter Afghanistan from Iran to reach a friend. Makhmalbaf contacted her a few years later with the idea for Kandahar, a fictionalized, but historical accurate, version of Pazira's life. Kandahar, released in 2001, was shot on the border of Iran and Afghanistan in a refugee village; the filming crew was denied access into Afghanistan. Pazira was later able to return to Afghanistan to begin filming her documentary Return to Kandahar. In the film, Pazira tries to return to the city to prevent a friend who was depressed by the Taliban's strict regime from committing suicide. Pazira recently returned from Iraq and Russia, where she was gathering information for a book she's writing on Afghanistan before and during the rise of the Taliban. "It's looking at the coming out of the so-called 'freedom fighters' in the context of time and history," Pazira said. Tonight's lecture will be an opportunity for students to hear about what's going on in the Middle East and what they can do about it, said Roksana Alavi, co-president of February Sisters Association. "We wanted to bring somebody in who knows this stuff first hand," Alavi said. "It's nice to hear the other side of the story and see other perspectives." Alavi said several professors of women's studies had prepared their classes for tonight's lecture. Students in a women's studies class read Women for Afghan Women, a collection of essays by women of Arab descent about women's rights. Kathy Libal, lecturer of women's studies and international studies, said these readings and lectures on Afghanistan have piqued her students' interest. "I've been so encouraged by my class. They're doing the readings and seem quite inspired and engaged." Libal said. Shannon Cline, Wichita junior, said she kept on international issues, but Libal's class allowed her to learn more by taking a closer look at the situation. "It's important to see that women all over the world want the same thing," Cline said. "We're all just wanting equal rights under the law." Fund honors late astronaut -Edited by Michelle Rodick Scholarship given in memory of Indian-American By Marc Ingber mingber@kansan.com Kansan staff writer It has been one year since the Columbia space shuttle tragedy hit the Indian community hard with the loss of astronaut Kalpana Chawla. Now members of the Kansas City Indian community are trying to preserve her memory by raising funds for an aerospace engineering scholarship at the University of Kansas in her honor. Kottarappat Dileepan, a faculty member at the KU Medical Center who is heading the drive, said he had been planning the scholarship for a while. "I got the idea immediately after the shuttle tragedy," he said, referring to the crash on Feb. 1,2003. "During that time I felt it would be a wonderful idea to establish a scholarship to honor Kalpana Chawla." Chawla was the first Indian woman and Indian-American to fly in space. In the days following the tragedy, about 150 members of the Kansas City Indian community gathered to discuss the plan for a scholarship. Dileepan said they formed a committee that would organize the drive. The committee was lucky enough to get Chawla's family's blessing through a chance encounter. He said one of the committee members actually met Kalpana Chawla's parents on a plane and then wrote a letter to them telling them about the idea for a scholarship. They replied back saying they appreciated the effort. Mark Ewing, an associate professor and chairman of aerospace engineering, said the scholarship was a great idea for the aerospace engineering program, which has about 120 students. "It's a great memorial for someone our students look up to, and is something they would want to have," he said. start an annual $1,000 scholarship that would be either need-based or merit-based, depending on the student's situation, for any student in the aerospace engineering program. So far the committee has raised about $5,000, but it needs at least $20,000 to get an endowed scholarship established at the KU Endowment Association. Dileepan said the plan was to Dileepan said he hoped to reach his goal of more than $20,000 by later this year. The committee also had plans to hold a fundraising dinner this summer if it didn't have enough by then. The committee has raised money by sending out letters to members of Kansas City's Indian community, which has more than 2,000 people, asking for donations. More than 200 letters have been sent, and the committee plans to send more.

A burglar at K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall may force a change in its lock-down policy. Members of the hall briefly discussed the incident at a meeting Sunday night. Because of time, they couldn't come to a definite decision, but they will meet again Thursday. Residents are considering implementing an escort policy, adding a desk position to check visitors in and keeping the front door locked at all times. Currently the hall's front door is unlocked during the day, but does locks at night. When the door is locked, residents use a code to enter the building. Saturday night the door was malfunctioning and not closing completely, said resident Joe Alfaro, Springdale, Ark., sophomore. Alfaro said he and his roommates returned to their room about 2:30 a.m. Sunday. He said they immediately noticed the doors to their entertainment system were open, which was rare unless they were playing video games. They then realized that Alfaro's Playstation and games were gone. Alfaro began to inspect the rest of the room and found draws that had been rummaged through. His roommate's backpack was also missing. Alfaro's room was one of four that had missing items, he said. A fifth room was entered, but nothing appeared to be missing. None of the rooms that were entered were locked. Alfaro said he knew of two Palm Pilots and CD player that were taken from the other rooms. Police reports show that a purse and its contents, valued at $120, were also missing. Three reports had been filed but only two currently were available, said Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office. He said his office had no suspects at this time. Alfaro said some residents reported seeing an unfamiliar male on the hall's second floor around 10 p.m. Saturday. He said the male told residents he was looking for Chris, but there are two residents named Chris on the floor. Alfaro said neither Chris knew anything about the individual. According to a story in the Nov. 27, 2001, University Daily Kansan, a robbery took place at K.K. Amiini and Margaret Amini Scholarship Halls during Thanksgiving Break of 2001. Someone broke the French doors in the basements of each hall, took five master keys, and went through residents' rooms. Electronics were the most common items taken in that robbery. — Edited by Danielle Hillix Blind Date: Kansan Style.

And today, Kansas is one of OURVIEW The Kansas law that prohibits the sale of 5 percent alcohol by volume beer in convenience stores is outdated. only a handful of states, including Utah and Colorado, that enforces the post-Prohibition law, allowing the sale of only 3.2 percent alcohol by weight cereal malt beverages in convenience stores and grocery stores. We know that cereal malt beverages have the same effect as any The idea of weak beer was an initiative from post-Prohibition regulations. In order to regulate the consumption of intoxicating liquors, lawmakers allowed the sale of cereal malt beverages. Though this regulation has gone through numerous changes today it doesn't fit. alcohol: They get you drunk There is little difference between beer sold in a liquor store and beer sold in a convenience store. But the perceptions that 3.2 percent beer is weaker, watered down and lacks flavor still exist. The law serves no benefit to Kansans. It is an inconvenience for people older than 21, who may have to make multiple stops to fulfill their drinking needs. If Kansans wants to buy alcohol after 10:30 p.m., but they doesn't want weak beer, he will go across the state line and make their purchase in Missouri, allowing Missourians to enjoy the tax money. The law keeps Kansas from joining the majority of states that use a standard system. By using one system of measuring the alcohol content of certain beverages, Kansas lawmakers would eliminate the guessing game. There is no need for the double system. Beer labeled 3.2 percent provides only a minimal difference from the standard 5 percent alcohol by volume beer. One system should be implemented and used.

At 9:30 on a Friday morning, sitting in your Math 105 class, the teaching assistants get up and start passing out the exams. You're there, but not really because the eight triple gin and tonics you drank at The Hawk last night are still running through your bloodstream. "Why," you think to yourself through a hungover haze. "Why did I do this? It's the last test of the semester and it's worth 30 percent of the final grade. Why, why, why?" Needless to say, you're in no shape to take this test right now, let alone pass it. COMMENTARY Kevin Kampwirth opinion@kansan.com It just so happens that there is a perfectly positioned gap between the two girls sitting in front of you that allows an ideal angle to see one of their answer sheets. As you receive your exam, which more accurately resembles a novella than a math test, you spot an opportunity. Let's not forget, of course, that these are the two smartest girls in the class. Your Machiavellian instincts begin to overcome you as you are poised to start But wait! Didn't the University just pass that new school-wide honor code? Alas, whatever should you do? What a personal and moral dilemma! All right, sarcasm aside, how many of you would stop and consider this? Well, the University Senate Executive Committee hopes that all of you would Last week, SenEx decided that Student Senate would conduct research that would lead to the creation of a University-wide honor code. Ideally, the code would address specific policies on academic integrity — in other words, cheating. The code would also be structured and created with and around students. Lloyd Sponholtz, president of the University Council, said that this aspect of the code was the most important. "For an honor code like this to be effective, students need to be directly involved." Sponholtz said. So, students, back to my question. Who of you would stop, think about this honor code and, instead of cheating, take an F on the test? I don't think I would see that many hands, kids. In fact, I'd be willing to wager all the money in my wallet that at least three out of five of you wouldn't think twice about stealing a few answers from little Miss A+. Disagree? Let's test it out. With my 60 percent theory in mind, I took to campus and asked 10 random students this very same question. The results are in. Seven out of the 10 said that they would indeed cheat on the test regardless of an honor code. That's 70 percent, and I'm still a bit suspicious of the three people who said they wouldn't. The overriding consensus seemed to be that a University mandated honor code would provide little-to-no aversion to cheating. "Honor and morals come from within a person," said Ryan Moulder, St. Louis senior. "These are things that can't be enforced or dictated. If a person wants to cheat, they're going to cheat." Do we all agree with Moulder? Or are ethics something that could be swayed because there is a honor system on the books? Undoubtedly, there are those who think that a University-wide honor system would act to curb cheating and other forms of academic dishonesty. I mean, there is still some good in this world, isn't there? I'm convinced that there are still those 30 percent who are good-hearted, honest students who would just sit there in that spinning classroom, put their liquor-induced, pounding head on the desk and take an F. Well, good for you. You're a better person than I am. Kampwirth in a Chicago senior in journalism. ON POLITICS Racism, classism still part of punishment; students rally against unjust death penalty On Thursday, a group of KU students will join students from around the state to lobby Kansas legislators for a moratorium on the death penalty. A. K. BURTON Kansas has had the death penalty since 1994. The reinstatement came after a more than 22-year break from the death penalty in Kansas as mandated by the U.S. Supreme Court's 1972 Furman v. Georgia decision. The decision said that the death penalty was "cruel and unusual punishment" and in violation of the Eighth Amendment. The Supreme Court reversed that decision in 1976 with Gregg v. Georgia, claiming that the problems with the death penalty had been resolved. As history has shown, the problems with the death penalty are anything but resolved. Racism and classism still persist. The location of a trial still has as much to do with sentencing as does the crime itself. And no matter how many safeguards are put in place to ensure the just implementation of the death Anna D. Gregory opinion@hansan.com COMMENTARY Amnesty International reports that even though African Americans and whites are murder victims in nearly equal numbers of crimes, 80 percent of the people executed since the death penalty was reinstated have been executed for murders involving white victims. A person is more likely to be sentenced to death for killing a white person than for killing a person of any other race. penalty, it remains a non-correctable form of punishment. The classist nature of the death penalty can be seen in a comparison between Wyandotte and Sedgwick counties. The difference between the two counties, is that Sedgwick County has more money to support the trial and the following appeals. As of January 2003, 15 cases have involved capital charges in Wyandotte county, home of Kansas City, Kan. since the reinstatement of the death penalty. During the same amount of time, eight cases have been charged capital in Sedgwick county, home of Wichita. Of the 15 cases in Wyandotte County, only two went to trial and none ended with a death penalty sentence. Of the eight cases in Sedgwick County, six have gone to trial and five have ended with a death sentence. If two people commit the same crime one in Sedgwick County and the other in Wyandotte County, the person in Sedgwick County would be more likely to get the death sentence. Join your fellow students on Thursday in Topeka. Let our leaders know that the death penalty is not something we support and it should be stopped. If we don't participate in democracy, what's the point in having one? It is our responsibility to stop the unjust and inhumane practice of the death penalty. We can do this by communicating with our elected leaders. Though lobbying is not as common as voting, it is as essential a part of democracy. Our leaders will not know what we think unless we tell them.

The report's findings did not surprise Patricia Thomas, associate dean for the Office of Cultural Enhancement and Diversity. "It didn't take the institute to let us know what we already know," Thomas said. Representatives of health pro- tessions have had limited success recruiting minorities, according to the report, which defined minorities as Native Americans, Latinos and African Americans. For the past six years the Office of Cultural Enhancement at the School of Medicine has worked on promoting the importance of diversity through recruitment and education programs, and not just to college students. Health Professions Pipeway Initiative is one of the projects designed to increase participation in math and science of underrepresented minorities. The program targets minority children in the third, sixth and ninth grade. Thomas said diversity in the medical field is needed to ensure a connection between under-represented groups and their doctors. "Sometimes it's not the most technically efficient doctor that can do the best good," Thomas said. "It takes that personal connection to really help a person." Rachel Banks is in her fourth year of medical school. The Jackson, Miss., native decided to pursue diversity training on her own. so she contacted the Office of Cultural Enhancement and Diversity. "Diversity training has made me less judgmental towards others and allowed me to train myself to understand a person's differences," Banks said. Students are also learning how to develop a personal connection with a more diverse population through the Nicodemus Project. Nicodemus is the only surviving African-American settlement from the reconstruction period in the West. On the last weekend of July, students, physicians and cultural enhancement officers travel to the small town in western Kansas to provide free health screenings for about 100 settlement descendants, who still live in Nicodemus. The project exposes some students to cultural differences and under-serviced populations for the first time, said Karen Rayford, senior coordinator for Health Careers Pathways Program. Rayford said some people from Nicodemus don't have a regular physician, meaning that the July screenings are the only opportunity they have to see a doctor. In addition to promoting minority recruitment, the Institute of Medicine's report also recommended Congress increase funding for programs such as the Nicodemus Project that promote diversity. In December of 2003, the University's School of Medicine received a $3.75 million two-year grant from the National Institute of Health's National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities. —Edited by Joe Hartigan Mars findings interest local scientists By J.T. Mitchum jmitchum@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Two solar-powered rovers the size of go-carts whir and hum 162 million miles away, collecting data and taking pictures of Mars. Closer to home, a pair of scientists in Lawrence are speculating on what these images and data from the Red Planet might mean. Where the untrained eye sees only dust and rocks, the eyes of these scientists see the future of space exploration and the distant past of the red planet. Tom Armstrong, retired professor of physics and astronomy, said landing the two rovers on Mars was one of the greatest accomplishments of un-manned space flight. "It's really where space exploration needs to go," he said. Armstrong has worked at NASA, Jet Propulsion Laboratories and on other deep space exploration missions. He is the owner and vice-president of development for Fundamental Technologies. Armstrong said Spirit and Odyssey, the two rovers, may not resolve the issue of whether life existed on Mars, but probably will determine the history of water on the planet. He has worked on projects such as Galileo, Voyager I and II, and currently awaits the arrival of a probe to Saturn. Randall Van Schmus, professor of geology, said one of the roles of geology is understanding ancient environments. His background in meteorites and geology of ancient rocks is what sparked his interest in the Mars missions. Van Schmus patiently waits for more measurements and pictures that will help him and his students make increasingly reasonable claims about the history of Mars. He teaches classes in geochemistry and tectonics. "Everything we study in history is preserved in rocks," Van Schmus said. Scientists remain cautious about making predictions of water or life on the Red Planet. Icecaps at the poles of Mars are elementary features, but it was geological observations that raised the question of whether water ever ebbed and flowed on the surface of the planet. "The best way to prove possible extra-terrestrial life, which is mostly likely past life, is to find evidence of water," Van Schmus said. Extra-terrestrial life, or more likely its remnants, would help explain life's beginnings on Earth, Van Schmus said. Van Schmus geology and other fields of science, such as biology, can work together to develop an idea about how life began. Van Schmus looks at near-ray data from NASA's Web site, which he says is sent out with relatively little interpretation. The search for the right environment to allow extra-terrestrial life to form, either past or present, is the driving force in this mission. If or when a manned space mission ever lands on Mars, a geologist should be on the crew, Van a ticket to Mars if I could," he said. Schmus said. BUSSELL'S MODEL 2040-12 STEAM RACING CHESTERFIELD, PA.

Delivery drivers brave weather By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The uncertainty in recent Lawrence weather led to some uncertainty among local food delivery businesses. Managers and drivers at delivery locations were forced to consider both sides of the delivery business spectrum during last week's winter weather. On one hand, bad weather could tempt more people to call for a delivery instead of going out to get food. On the other hand, sending drivers out in the snow and ice could be dangerous. 1814 W. 25rd Sf., left the decision in the driver's hands. Management at Yello Sub, "In they say they are capable of getting around town, we'll let them," Andres Mizzotti, Yello Sub manager, said. Mizzotti said delivery times slow down considerably in inclement weather, pushing delivery times from the normal 45 minutes to an hour or more. The Yello Sub near campus, at 624 W.12th St., called off deliveries and closed early once last week when snow accumulations on the roads got heavy. Mizzott said the steep hills around the location made driving tricky and treacherous. The 23rd St. location remained open for business all last week. "We normally try to tough it out here," Mizzotti said. Jimmy John's, 1447 W.23rd St., stayed last week as well, but was not so lucky. Ben Manley, assistant general manager, said one of the delivery drivers got in a small wreck with one of the manager's cars. Manley said the sandwich shop has stopped delivery only once in his two years on the job. Instead, management responds to poor weather by overstaffing its delivery drivers in preparation for the possibility of increased business and slower driving. The amount of customer calls in bad weather varies. Manley said. "Sometimes everyone decides its crappy outside and they say 'We'll call John John's,' " he said. Pizza Shuttle, 1601 W.23rd St., also overstaffs its delivery drivers during bad weather. Delivery continues as long as drivers are comfortable with going out. There is an upside to working in bad weather, said Pizza Hut delivery driver Paige Higgins. Pizza Shuttle's employee handbook asks that drivers have tire chains ready if need be. "They'll offer to let you in since it is cold," said Higgins, a Littleton, Colo., senior. "And they'll tip you better." -Edited by Joe Hartigan STATE Beta Theta Pi leadership says incident not hazing MANHATTAN — The national leadership of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity has determined an incident that landed a member of the Kansas State University chapter in a car's trunk until he called police was an accident, not a hazing ritual. "It was not hazing related," said Judson Horras, director of chapter development with the Beta Theta Pi General Fraternity in Oxford, Ohio. "It wasn't an intentional act." No charges are expected to be filed in the case, which Riley County Police Department Lt. Kurt Moldrup described as a fraternity prank. Horras said Michael Farrell climbed into the trunk of another fraternity member's car without the driver's knowledge after a costume party Thursday night. Farrell, who was wearing a dress, fell asleep before arriving back at the fraternity house, Horras said. A locksmith freed Farrell from the car about 6 a.m. Friday, after Farrell called 911. Horras said he could not comment on how Farrell got into the trunk without the driver's help because the general fraternity's investigation is ongoing. Horras said the general fraternity will review the chapter's escort policy to make sure a similar incident does not happen again. The Associated Press NATION R&B diva Diana Ross gets two days in jail TUCSON, Ariz. — Diana Ross was convicted Monday of driving under the influence and ordered to spend two days in jail. The R&B diva, who telephoned into the city court hearing from New York, pleaded no contest to DUI. Tucson Magistrate T. Jay Cranshaw found her guilty of DUI and sentenced her to serve 48 hours in jail and to complete at least 36 hours of alcohol-abuse treatment. She also was sentenced to a year of unsupervised probation and fines of about $850. The Associated Press Explanation changed on Halliburton award WASHINGTON — Faced with price-gouging allegations involving Vice President Dick Cheney's former company, the Army Corps of Engineers now acknowledges it alone awarded Halliburton new business in Iraq after initially suggesting experts from other U.S. agencies played an important role. The Army Corps of Engineers told The Associated Press that the Corps — not an evaluation team cited on its Internet site — chose Halliburton for a contract worth up to $1.2 billion. The Corps is refusing to release records showing on what merits it made the decision. The Associated Press Recruiting lacking says al-Qaida letter BAGHDAD, Iraq — A letter seized from an al-Qaida courier shows Osama bin Laden has made little headway in recruiting Iraqis for a holy war against America, raising questions about the Bush administration's contention that Iraq is the central front in the war on terror. The 17-page letter, cited as a key piece of intelligence that offered a rare window into foreign terrorist operations in Iraq, appealed to al-Qaida leaders to help spark a civil war between Iraq's two main Muslim sects in an effort to "tear the country apart." U.S. officials said yesterday. One senior U.S. officer, Brig Gen. Mark Kimmitt, warned the plea could mean more "spectacular" attacks because the rebels were despairing that their devastating car bombs and the steady killing of U.S. troops were failing to shove the Americans from Iraq or spark massive discord. The letter was believed written by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian suspected of al-Qaida links. Al-Zarqawi is the chief suspect in several recent bombings, and the Bush administration cited his presence in Iraq as evidence of Iraq's terrorist connections even before the war. The Associated Press Wind power big in Western states The Associated Press EAST WENATCHEE, Wash Mike Sachs lacks the rusted tir pans of a mineral prospector in the Old West. But the third generation cattleman in north-central Washington is a prospector in his own way one of a growing number of ranchers hoping to strike gold with the hottest new resource in the Northwest: wind. "You're trying to find ways to diversify," Sachs said. "Monetarily, you're usually asset rich and cash poor, but we all benefit if we can generate electricity and keep rates down." Wind energy accounts for less than 1 percent of the power generated in the United States annually. Turbines in 30 states produced 6,370 megawatts in 2003 enough power to serve more than 1 million homes, according to the American Wind Energy Association. California leads the nation with more than 2,000 megawatts of wind-generated power, followed by Texas, Minnesota and Iowa. States in the Northwest trail far behind, but that also means many areas are unapped. Utilities, consultants and ranchers are taking note, scattering anemometers, which measure wind force and speed, across the landscape to prospect for wind. Dozens of new wind projects are proposed in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. "We've got a lot of open space in the Northwest," said Rachel Shimshak, director of the Renewable Northwest Project, which promotes solar, wind and geothermal energy resources in the Northwest. "Wind power has been a great benefit to rural communities and the rural economy. Never mind that it's helping to provide energy production and clean air," Shimshak said. Renewable energy also shouldn't be foreign to a region that relies on hydropower - water for most of its energy, she said. Some call wind energy the perfect complement to dams because utilities could scale back on one side when the winds pick up, and rely on hydropower when the winds die. Wind farms come with their share of problems though. They, too, require a transmission line, which is often unavailable in rural areas. Critics argue wind farms disrupt wildlife habitats. Even those in the industry sometimes say the cost isn't worth the return. Wind farms require strong and sustained winds — but not too heavy — over time to be productive. Still, some of the most outspoken supporters are ranchers across the West who have been struggling to maintain their rural life — and stand to gain from a wind farm on their property. "In today's society, you've got to be really creative to make a 2,000-acre dryland wheat operation work," said Ron Lewis, a fifth-generation rancher in rural Douglas County. "I'm going into the past — I'm farming like my great-great-grandpa. I'm going to harness the wind like him, because I'm going to be really productive." Lewis first introduced the idea of pursuing wind energy with the Douglas County Public Utility District. He got them excited enough that after researching the idea, utility officials approached 150 landowners about signing three-year land leases to prospect for wind. Lewis didn't sign. Instead, the self-described maverick went out on his own, recruiting private investors and consultants to prospect for wind on his property, which is the highest point in Douglas County. "It's tremendously competitive," he said. "Who knows if we're going to be able to do anything up here? But hopefully, we're going to be able to bring some prosperity to the local rural community."

John Kerry recipient, giver of attacks on leadership The Associated Press President Bush and Democratic front-runner John Kerry sparred yesterday over the president's economic leadership, while Kerry's rivals sought to slow his brisk pace toward the Democratic nomination in three states with upcoming primaries. states with John Edwards and Wesley Clark searched for upset wins in two Southern states and Howard Dean beseeded Wisconsin voters "to keep this debate alive." ers to keep them As Edwards and Clark concentrated on Virginia and Tennessee, which hold primaries today, Kerry ignored his rivals and criticized Bush stewardship of the economy. Speaking six days after Kerry won the Missouri primary, Bush appeared more engaged in his own re-election campaign than in past public appearances, directly responding to criticism by Kerry economy. Kerry accused Bush of having the worst jobs record of the past 11 presidents. Bush defended his economic priorities, especially his tax cuts, in a campaign-style speech in Missouri, expected to be a key battleground in November. and other Democratic candidates. The Democrats running for president say they would repeal all or portions of Bush's tax cuts. Stephanie Cutter, a spokeswoman for Kerry, said he would make permanent tax cuts for the middle class, including the child tax credit and the repeal of the marriage penalty. "I've got a feeling this report was prepared by the same people who brought us the intelligence on Iraq," Kerry said, citing job losses of more than 2 million since Bush took office. Edwards and Clark hoped strong showings in Tennessee and Virginia would eliminate the other and turn the race into a two man contest with Kerry, but polls showed Kerry well ahead in both states. Before an audience in Roanoke, Va., Kerry scorned a White House economic report released earlier in the day that predicted the economy would grow by 4 percent and create 2.6 million new jobs this year. Dean began a two-day tourand an aggressive advertising campaign in Wisconsin, a state he told supporters last week he must win to keep his candidacy alive. But on Monday, he said his backers had persuaded him to stay in the race regardless of the results. He dismissed his own "obvious contradiction." He also began airing a 60-second biographical spot in some Wisconsin markets, his first advertising buy in the state in months. Kerry's winning streak — he handily wint contests over the weekend in Michigan, Washington state and Maine—was clearly taking a toll on his competitors. Aides to both Clark and Edwards said they expect their candidates to lose Virginia and Tennessee, even though both had earlier been optimistic about winning in their home region. Edwards and Clark each have one win apiece, while Kerry has won 10 of the 12 contests thus far. Kerry has more than twice as many delegates as Dean, his closest pursuer — 426 after the contest in Maine on Sunday compared to Dean's 184, according to an Associated Press tally.

Lawmakers consider banning gay marriages The Associated Press BOSTON — An Associated Press survey of Massachusetts lawmakers shows a Legislature deeply divided over a proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in the state where the nation's first legally sanctioned same-sex weddings could take place as early as Mav. at place The 199 House and Senate lawmakers — all of whom are up for re-election in November — could take up the volatile issue at a constitutional convention as early as tomorrow. The issue gained urgency last week when the state's high court declared that anything less than full-fledged marriage for gays in Massachusetts would be unconstitutional. The opinion put Massachusetts lawmakers at the center of a political maelstrom that is being closely watched across the country and could play a role in the presidential race. All of Massachusetts' legislla tors were contacted by telephone and e-mail by the Associated Press since last week's Supreme Judicial Court opinion, and 146 responded. Of those, 61 said they would oppose the constitutional amendment, while 70 said they could support it. An additional 12 said they were undecided, and three said they had no comment. Fifty-three did not respond. the proposed amendment could end reach the ballot is November 2006. There is probably nothing lawmakers can do to prevent the nation's first gay marriages from taking place May 17. The earliest 2008. That is because the proposal first needs to be approved by a majority of lawmakers in two successive legislative sessions, which in Massachusetts last for two years. That means a revamped Legislature would take up the issue after next fall's elections. Veteran statehouse observers called the situation extremely fluid, with some lawmakers flip-flopping under intense lobbying by members of the clergy, fellow politicians and gay-rights advocates. There's also the scrutiny of the national media and the fact that it is an election year. "In 20 years of lobbying, I've never seen such a fluid issue," said Arline Isaacson, co-leader of the Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus. "There's such a high degree of emotion in this building and emotions are guiding legislators, who would rather be more thoughtful about this." Court considers convict's execution The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — A convicted killer whose plea for clemency was rejected by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger won a stay of execution yesterday, hours before he was to die by lethal injection for hacking four people to death. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted the stay to consider whether DNA evidence connecting Kevin Cooper to the crime should be retested amid repeated claims that Cooper was framed by law enforcement. Cooper, 46, had been set to die at 12:01 a.m. today. Late last month, Schwarzenegger denied Cooper's bid for clemency, the first such plea to cross the governor's desk. Schwarzenegger said the evidence of Cooper's guilt was overwhelming. The appeals court decision was welcomed by Cooper's celebrity supporters, including actor Denzel Washington and the Rev. Jesse Jackson. Cooper was convicted of stabbing and hacking to death Douglas and Peggy Ryan, both 41, their 10-year-old daughter, Jessica, and 11-year-old Christopher Hughes after escaping from prison in 1983. The Ryens' son, Joshua, then 8, survived a slit throat. Cooper claims DNA evidence was planted, but the courts said there was no evidence of tampering. Cooper's attorneys also insist they have a witness who said that on the night of the murders, she saw two men covered in blood at a bar near the scene. On Sunday, panel of the 9th Circuit refused in a 2-1 ruling to stop the execution. Yesterday, the court agreed to rehear the case in front of 11 judges.

Three establishments were granted the waiver and one was not. The establishment that was not granted a waiver was Pepper Jax, which opens in two weeks. The Salvation Army Methodist Church is the church within 400 feet of Pepper Jax. Tonight, the city commission will determine whether a waiver should be granted to the Replay Lounge. "I think the Replay has a good argument for a waiver based on the extenuating circumstances," Schauner said. "We'll have to see what everyone says, though." Rich Forney, administrator for the Salvation Army's Methodist Church, said that the burden of proof would not rest on the church. Schauner said that the decision would be made after both sides stated their claims at tonight's meeting. Forney said he would attend the meeting and present the Salvation Army's position. preach against drinking and against alcohol," Forney said. "I have seen first-hand the destruction it can have on families." Forney said that he would not be attacking the Replay's presence, and that the church would have to show that the Replay Lounge would cause physical harm because of its closeness to the church. "What's going to happen is going to happen." Forney said. Representatives at the Replay Lounge declined to comment on the situation. Tina Browne is a regular patron of the Replay Lounge. The Kansas City, Kan., sophomore said that the bar was a great place and that it was a shame that its drinking license could be revoked. "There should be some way to work around this obvious paperwork issue," Browne said. "It doesn't seem good for the community that any small business would have revenue taken away." Tonight's meeting is a public hearing, and individuals will be allowed to voice their opinions on the matter.

Alavi said she hoped the lecture would appeal to both women and men because of the topic's prevalence on an international level. "Women's issues are human issues," Alavi said. "Considering nearly half our population is male, they're probably a good ally to have." Kathy Libal, lecturer in women's studies and international studies, is part of the forum on women and Islamic law on Feb. 25 at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. She said the panel would be a good way to rekindle interest in issues in Afghanistan while keeping the focus on women across different cultures. "This is a unique opportunity," Libal said. "The panel will allow people to ask questions about gender and Islamic law while remembering the important role that the February Sisters had at KU." The February Sisters Association is named after a group of women who peacefully occupied a classroom in February 1972. They demanded daycare services and a women's studies program, which both exist at the University. The women refused to leave the building until University officials granted their wishes. Women's studies students have commemorated the February Sisters' accomplishments with informal educational forums every year since 1972. In Fall 2000, three graduate students established the February Sisters Association, a University-sponsored organization, to raise funding and to better plan events for the yearly forum.

Her grandparents lived in the United States during the Iran hostage crisis and dealt with the backlash directed at Middle Eastern immigrants. They advised her to tell people she was from Greece, not Iran. "I told people that for a week, but then I felt stupid," she said. When Alavi began telling people the truth about her heritage, she received a supportive response from most people. But one girl in her class advised against her honesty. She wrote a note that Alavi had to take home and translate, telling her not to say she was from Iran because Americans didn't like Iranians. At first, the language barrier and cultural differences in high school caused so much trauma that Alavi would call her aunt in the middle of the day to pick her up from school. and radio dialogues to memorize. "I would call and say, 'I can't stand it, I can't talk to these people, I don't know what's going on and I'm scared,'" Alavi said. After about five months, Alavi finally began to feel more comfortable. She began to learn English with her grandfather's help, who gave her English television Alavi said that even with recent international conflicts and terrorist scares, the American perception of Middle Eastern immigrants was much better than it was 15 years ago. She said that the perception of Middle Eastern women still tends to be inaccurate. "My students in women's studies classes say the girls on campus in head scarves must be submissive." she said. Alavi said she believed that women have more opportunities in the United States, but that it was because everyone had more freedom here. She said people may see a woman in Islamic dress and assume she was exploited. The Middle East is not one overarching category, she said. For example, women in Iran are seeing more opportunities in government positions. She said the condition of women in all countries deserves attention. "There are women everywhere being taken advantage of," she said. Alavi now uses her work with the February Sisters Association, a campus feminist organization, to bring attention to women's situations internationally. Alavi began attending February Sisters Association events two years ago. Now she is in charge of coordinating activities for the organization and bringing speakers to campus. Molly Dingel, vice president and treasurer of the February Sisters Association, has been working with Alavi to organize events since the beginning of the fall semester. Dingel said Alavi had worked hard with the other members to draw attention to global issues concerning women. She said Alavi had a more personal experience with international issues than any of the other members. Alavi said that coming from two different cultures had broadened her perspective, but her desire to stop abuses had roots beyond her background. "It's what you think that matters, not where you came from," she said. "Anybody can sympathize with violation of human rights. You don't need to experience it to know it's horrible." She said she hoped her continued work with the February Sisters could bring awareness to human rights violations against women, and ways others could help. "There are a lot more abuses out there that need to be stopped," she said. "But I want to help without tanks and bombs." Edited by Collin LaJoie SHOULDER: Violations dealt with individual. CONTINUED FROM 1A Although Funderburk repaired the problems at 1812 Illinois St., the repeated code violations in her properties can't be seen as one problem, only as individual violations dealt with as the occur. Walthal said. With no way to limit who can own property, there is little recourse against landlords who repeatedly violate building codes. Walthal said. "When you regulate who can buy property, you can get in trouble with the legal system, with people's rights to buy," Walthal said. Walthal said monitoring landlords for repeat offenses and informing potential tenants would be something worth looking into, but he said he could not comment for city or state lawmakers. The Kansas Tenants Union provides an on-line discussion board regarding black-listed landlords. Funderburk did not appear on the discussion board, which had not been updated since the summer of 2002. For now, Codes Enforcement can only monitor one violation at a time and ensure the repairs are made in a timely manner, or turn the violations over to prosecutor. Codes Enforcement gave Fun derburk until today to correct or attempt to correct all of the violations in the Beesley's house. Aside from the furnace, violations in the house included many of the electrical outlets, ventilation work in the basement and ceiling height in the house's central staircase, according to Codes Enforcement reports. Funderburk repaired many of the problems by today's deadline, but Beesley said some of the repairs were shortcuts Funderburk used to save money and stay out of trouble. For example, Beesley said, the electrical outlets should have been replaced. Instead, Funderburk simply removed them from the wall and covered them. As for the rest of the repairs, Beesley said Funderburk has made an effort to fix what was needed, including the heat, which was repaired last week. Beeesley said she would still prefer to move out before August. "We want out of our lease," Beesley said. "She's been a bad landlord from the start, and we're tired of dealing with it." After the codes inspector informed Beesley and her roommates that the house violated code, Beesley contacted Legal Services for Students to see if the lease could be broken. When students with landlord individually "She's been a bad landlord from the start, and we're tired of dealing with it." Penny Beesley Kansas City, Mo., senior disputes come to LSS looking for help, it first looks at the lease for ways out, said Michele Kessler, associate director for LSS. If the tenants don't have a legal way out through the lease, the process could become more difficult and legally complicated, Kessler said. "They might have to jump through hoops with the Tenant and Landlord Act," Kessler said. The Tenant and Landlord Act governs the legal duties of landlords and tenants when executing a lease. A statute in the law does require that landlords maintain their property's heat and electrical systems. Now, even with many of the violations corrected, Beesley said she still wanted to check with other lawyers to see if she could legally break the lease without affecting her rental credit.

The Jayhawks (15-5, 7-2 Big 12) were butchered in hostile Gallagher-Iba arena, suffering an 80-60 loss at the hands of the Oklahoma State Cowboys (18-2, 8-1 Big 12 Conference). Behind a orange-clad crowd, the game was seemingly over just minutes after it started. The Cowboys started the game nine of 11 from the field. Six of Oklahoma State's first 10 field goals came from beyond the three-point arc. That offensive onslaught, coupled with Kansas' turnover wees, put the Cowboys up by 19 points just minutes into the game. That 28-to-nine burst was keyed an 18-to-2 run. "We were shell-shocked, and we didn't show too much poise trying to get back," said Kansas coach Bill Self. "I hate to say that was the ballgame, but that is was it played out to be." Oklahoma State didn't take its foot off of Kansas' throat either. The Jayhawks found some offensive success, not allowing the lead to grow any larger before half time, but they just could not erase a 16 point deficit heading into the locker room. "I felt extremely confident that we could come back," junior forward Wayne Simien said. "But they stayed on fire, scored on their first three possessions in the second and that kind of broke our back." Junior guard Aaron Miles, who was consistently shown up by his counterpart, Oklahoma State's John Lucas, thought his team's problem was more physical than mental. 15 "You always think you're going to regroup," Miles said. "But you can't think, you've got to make it happen." The Cowboys pulled ahead by as many as 23 points in the second half but never let the Jayhawks get closer than 16. Oklahoma State's dominance was obvious by the final score, but Kansas' troubles were further highlighted in the final box score. The biggest sore spot for Self's team was at the free-throw line and under the glass. Kansas hit just five of its 15 free throw attempts — the team's worst performance all season. What bothered Self more than anything was his players being dominated in the rebounding category. Kansas was out-rebounded 43 to 26. "The one stat that's most distracting is that they physically dominated us," Self said. "Oklahoma State was so much athletic than us tonight, something that has been a problem for us all year long." Kansas' only bright spot was Simien. He scored a game high 25 points, hitting 12 of 15 shot attempts. Individually, the Jayhawks were just as bad. Junior guards Keith Langford and Miles combined to score just 11 points and went three for 17 from the field.

Self returns to Stillwater Warm welcome overshadowed by loss to Cowboys By Mike Norris mnorris@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter STILLWATER, Okla. — Bill Self's return to his former school had the makings of a classic Big 12 Conference matchup. Then it started. The Jayhawks lost by 20 points in Self's return to his alma mater. "It felt good," Self said, after the game, about returning. "For about two and a half minutes." That was right about the time Oklahoma State turned the Kansas coach's homecoming into a nightmare. A Cowboy's three-pointer sparked a 23-to-5 run and turned a five-to-four game into a 28-to-nine Oklahoma State lead. The Cowboys eventually finished off Kansas 80 to 60. "That's how basketball was meant to be played," Self said of the team he used to play for. Self also said the Jayhawks were shellshocked after OSU hit nine of its first 10 shots, firing up the sold-out crowd of more than 13,000. "I thought the crowd was awesome," Self said. "Usually crowds get excited after they score. This crowd gets excited even when they get stops." Even though it's been 19 years since Self played for Oklahoma State, the crowd still greeted him with a warm applause. After the ovation, the crowd was happy to cheer against Self, particularly when he registered a technical foul for arguing in the first half. Reserve guard Mike Lee said Self was excited to return home, but tried not to put too much focus on his return. "He didn't talk much about it," Lee said. "But you could see it in his face. You could see how much he wanted to win." Junior guard Keith Langford, who had eight points, six rebounds and five assists, said he wanted to win for Self, but he had other motivations too. "I know coach Self wanted to win this game," Langford said. "But the bottom line was we had to win this game to stay in the race for the Big 12 championship." The Jayhawks fall to 7-2 in the Big 12 as OSU improves to 8-1 in the conference. Self not only lost his first game back in Stillwater but a first place tie in the Big 12.

Perkins said he hoped to hire an architect in the next month, at which time the details for the fieldhouse renovations and construction of the KU Hall of Athletics would be put into place. Both projects are on the drawing board after a $12 million donation to the department, which was announced Sat- "It's like renovating a house." Lew Perkins Kansas athletics director urday. The Ward Family, of Russell Stover Candies, donated $5 million. Two anonymous donors combined for the remaining $7 million. The donation is one of the largest in Kansas athletics history. Perkins said construction would begin as soon as the basketball season was over and would last for approximately 24 months. Major renovations to the fieldhouse and the construction of the hall are in the works. The hall will honor the University's past and present student-athletes and will be adjacent to fieldhouse. Perkins "It's like renovating a house," he said. said, although he wasn't yet sure what would be in it. He said he hoped to include an academic area, where athletes could study and possibly some entertainment areas as well. He said it could also be used as a place to show recruits. As for the fieldhouse renovations, they would mostly involve bathrooms, windows, lighting and similar physical improvements, Perkins said. Schreiner was at the game on Saturday when the donation was announced. She said she was amazed at the amount of money and thought the fieldhouse would benefit from the renovations in the plan. Improvements wouldn't diminish the integrity, history or tradition of the building, he said. Taylor Schreiner, Lawrence sophomore, said she thought the renovation plans would be great for Kansas basketball. "I completely agree with the idea that we will leave the fieldhouse intact but modernize it," he said. Perkins said larger renovations would be waiting somewhere down the line, but would not take place until after these projects were finished. Don Green, professor of chemical and petroleum engineering and KUAC member, said the key was combining the improvements with the tradition the fieldhouse already has. "We definitely have to get a new scoreboard," Perkins said. But even if he had the money, it wouldn't make much sense to put it up and then take it down again for these renovations, he said. He knows there would be a long timeline for all the improvements that would be made at the fieldhouse. "We're going to make a wish list, put them in priority order and go from there," Perkins said.

BASKETBALL Winter catch Rush finds his place on team following disappointing start ORLANDO, Fla.—Kareem Rush, once in charge of the very end of the Los Angeles Lakers' bench, was actually giving somebody grief. "Rookie," Rush cracked as Luke Walton walked past. The visitors' locker room in Orlando's TD Waterhouse Centre was a pretty serious place. Shaquille O'Neal made a joke or two, but mostly everyone was trying to figure out exactly when the wheels fell off. There are so many possibilities. Kobe Bryant accused of rape. Karl Malone missing more games in a row than he had missed in an entire 18-year NBA career. Shaq dropping F-bombs on live television. Kobe cutting his finger on a window. Yesh, it's not the greatest time to be a Laker. Unless, of course, you're Kareem Rush, in which case you're having possibly the best month of basketball of your life. your life. Since mid-January, he has gone from being a (small) role player to a legitimate offensive threat. Consider this: He was in double digits nine times in January, or three more than the rest of the season combined. He's doubled his scoring average, surprising a lot of people — teammates included. "Even people in LA didn't know I could play," he says. "A lot of people who saw me at Mizzou knew." He can't talk for long now. Kareem slipped on his uniform, which actually needed to be washed after a game these days. "I'm starting today," he said Out of the 14-time world champion Los Angeles Lakers' locker room, he grabbed a few shots and looked over some plays. All the work actually — finally — meant something. A year ago, Kareem sat by himself in a room much like this one. The Lakers had gone to Memphis to play the Grizzlies, where former Kansas star (and current Orlando Magic reserve) Drew Gooden was catching fire. Rush was catching nothing. Stuck behind Bryant, he spent less time on the court than the Laker Girls. Laker Girls. When he did get in the game, his once-trusty shot bricked again and again. The Lakers had signed him to be a sharpshooter, the guy who lit up Big 12 teams when it mattered most. He wanted each shot to go in so bad, he began to force things. This year started off the same. Then the injury bug hit the Lakers. With Kobe missing time for myriad physical and legal reasons, minutes opened up. Rush has been on a tear ever since. He averaged about 16 points in his first six games as a starter. games as asteroid. Although he missed two games recently because of a sprained knee, Rush came back emphatically Sunday afternoon in Orlando. He played 35 minutes, finishing with 17 points. And these weren't garbage buckets. It was his 3-pointer that kicked the Lakers' dramatic fourth-quarter comeback into overdrive. Los Angeles, after being down 18, won 98-96. Soon, Bryant will be back in the lineup, and Rush's minutes will go down. In his short time in the spotlight, he has shown his coaches, teammates and a whole lot of opposing general managers that he belongs in the NBA. A year ago, he was an impressionable NBA rookie with money burning a hole in his pocket. He bought a car and lived in a party-pad in Venice Beach. Young and a Laker, Los Angeles was his oyster. It took him almost a year to figure out that the "Laker" part was more important than the "young." Kareem Rush gets that now. He just bought his first house.

Thomas was 7-of-13 shooting in the second half to pace the Irish (11-9,5-5 Big East). What made the victory even more surprising was that UConn had won five straight, while the Irish had lost three straight and five of their last seven. Final score: Irish 80,UConn 74. The Associated Press Free for All Call 864-0500 All I have got to say is that if Christian Moody can score seven points against a ranked team they do not deserve to be ranked. Everyone says that we are classy fans. I think that we should be loud, obnoxious and in their face. That sounds like more fun.

Thev're already sold out. For the first time in the 13-year history of Hoglund Ballpark, all 220 box seats are taken for the season. Baseball coach Ritch Price said he couldn't be happier with the interest fans were showing in the team. He said fan support was a big part of his team's success last year and would continue to be a big part in the future. "If we're going to continue to make progress, we have to make Hoglund Ballpark a special place to play." Price said. KU This is Price's second year as Kansas' baseball coach. Last year the team finished with a record of 35-28, a 13-victory improvement from the previous season's 22-29 Price mark. The team was also invited to the post-season Big 12 tournament for the first time ever and four Jayhawks received all-conference honors. Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs, said the fan interest was a testament to the job Price has done with the team. Marchiony said more fans would improve the program's future. "It helps when you're trying to build a program and keep it at an elite level, because recruits see this and take notice," Marchiony said. KU Baty He said the fans gave the team an incentive to play the best it could. Senior All-Big 12 infielder Ryan Baty said the crowd was an element in the team's success. He said it was nice to see the team's core fan base expanding. "If we're going to be a Top-25 program, as we grow as a team, our fan base needs to grow." Baty said. He said crowded stands were more fun for the players and fans and that a full Hoglund Ballpark offered a great atmosphere. "He's done a great job getting the team together and performing." Millard said. Baseball fan Matt Millard said he wanted to be one of the people filling up Hogland this year. The Overland Park junior attended several games last season and said he was impressed by the team and the atmosphere. He gave Price credit for the fans' increased interest. This season, the Jayhawks are off to a 7-4-1 start. The team continues its season this Friday at Stanford. The Jayhawks will open their home schedule on Feb. 22 when they host Creighton. - Edited by Danielle Hillix Basketball poll ranks Texas No.1 The Associated Press Say howdy to the new No. 1 team in women's basketball. After a long absence, the Texas Longhorns and coach Jody Conradt are back on top. Texas replaced Tennessee at No. 1 in The Associated Press women's basketball poll Monday the school's 46th appearance as the leader, but its first since the week of Dec.28,1987. "I've been feeling for a while this is a good team," Conradt said. "This is a team that I think deserves some recognition for their hard work and talent. The Longhorns' move kept the revolving door at the top of the poll spinning. It was the third time in six weeks the lead changed hands, an abrupt switch after two-plus seasons of Connecticut hogging the No.1 spot. A path to the top opened after Tennessee lost to Connecticut and last week's No. 2 team, Duke, was upset by Florida State. Texas (21-2), moving up from third, received 29 of the 47 first-place votes from a national media panel and had 1,154 points 11 more than Connecticut. UConn (18-2), fourth last week, received the remaining 18 first-place votes. Tennessee (19-2), which had been No. 1 for two weeks, dropped to third. Duke (18-3) slipped to fourth. Texas became the fourth team to be ranked No.1 this season, following Connecticut, Duke and Tennessee. The AP women's poll started in 1975 and there has been only one other season, 1987-88, when as many as four teams ranked No.1. The Longhorns have wins over Duke and Tennessee and lead the nation in victories. They have won seven straight and 14 of their last 15. "Wearing No.1 on our back will create an even more intense list of opponents," Carey said. "If anything, this team will have to focus more." Purdue moved up one spot to fifth, while No. 6 Louisiana Tech and No. 7 Texas Tech each climbed two places. Penn State dropped three spots to eighth after losing at Minnesota, Kansas State was ninth and Minnesota 10th. Minnesota advanced three places. Stanford dropped from seventh to 11th after losing at Arizona and Arizona State. Colorado was 12th and DePaul 13th, followed by Auburn, North Carolina, LSU, Michigan State, Baylor, Georgia and Florida. Virginia Tech, TCU, Southwest Missouri State, Arizona and Houston held the final five places. Arizona, ranked in the first three polls of the season, followed its 88-83 victory over Stanford with a 77-59 win over Cali fornia. The Wildcats (18-5) have won six of their last seven to take over first place in the Pac-10. Houston was 25th in mid-January, then dropped out the following week after an overtime loss to Louisville. The Cougars (19-3) have bounced back to win four in a row, including an 83-78 victory over Tulane in three overtimes on Sunday. Houston star Chandi Jones matched her career high with 39 points in that game. Notre Dame returned to the poll last week at 23rd but lost at Seton Hall after beating Georgetown. Miami, 22nd last week dropped out after an 83-65 loss at Connecticut. Auburn made the biggest jump within the poll, moving from 19th to 14th after beating Kentucky and LSU. TCU matched Stanford for the biggest drop, falling four places to 22nd after losing to South Florida. Two Big 12 teams surprise conference The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Oh, how expectations can lift up the lowly and bring down the mighty. Baylor goes into the week with two Big 12 Conference wins, leaving Scott Drew as a real candidate for coach of the year. Missouri, meanwhile, has won four Big 12 games and looks like a train wreck of a team, which may have coach Quin Snyder wondering if he'll keep his job. Behind the 33-year-old Drew, Baylor is rising above a rash of terrible distractions, including last summer's murder of a player and allegations of NCAA violations. They're also adjusting to the loss of three players who were allowed to transfer amid the chaos without paying the usual penalty of sitting out a year. The quality of the players left behind may have been underestimated. But nevertheless, nobody would have given it a second thought if the Bears had gone through the Big 12 season with a victory. "I think it's a situation where the crowd gets behind us at home, and the team playing as hard as we've played at home," said Drew, who replaced the disgraced Dave Bliss. "It gives us a chance to make something special happen. It's more a tribute to the work everybody's put in and the support we've had at home." If the players who left were still in Waco, the Bears might even be close to contending. Among those who left: John Lucas, who has energized Oklahoma State and may be the best point guard in the conference. Named Big 12 player of the week yesterday. Lucas is averaging 17.5 points in conference games and is leading the league in assists-to-turnover differential. How good could the Bears have been? "I've been asked that numer- oustimes," Drew said. "But we've got a team, and that's all we can focus on." The same NCAA enforcement staff that's looking at Baylor is also investigating Missouri. The Tigers have had terrible off-the-court distractions involving former player Ricky Clemons and his taped jailhouse conversations, which brought embarrassment to the entire university. The talented and experienced Tigers were still voted preseason favorites in the coaches' poll. But typical was Saturday's 78-62 loss at Nebraska, which dropped Snyder's team to 9-10 overall and 4-5 in the league. "We're going to continue to come together as a group," Missouri assistant coach Marcus Perez said yesterday. "We're not going to give up. We're not going to stop teaching. We're not going to stop working. Our guys are not going to quit competing. There's no quit in our players. There's no quit in our staff and we have confidence there's no quit in our fans." Next up for the troubled Tigers is a midweek home game against Colorado, which beat Missouri by double-digits earlier this season in Boulder. "I think everybody's a little surprised," said Colorado coach Ricardo Patton. "But when you think about all the distractions they've had, then it's not a surprise. It's hard to win ball games when you have to deal with a lot of off-the-court distractions. It's hard to keep your kids focused. From that standpoint, it's not as much a surprise." The Bears went to 7-14 and 2-6 on Saturday with a 72-64 victory over Texas A&M, which fell to 0-8 in the league. "We knew they had some talent," said Aggies coach Melvin Watkins. "Their top three particularly are pretty good players. You've got to give them credit for the job Scott has done."

The Baylor transfer scored a team high 21 points, but more importantly, spread the ball around, allowing all five Oklahoma State starters to score in double figures. Despite a deafening crowd, the Jayhawks did not use the atmosphere as an excuse. "We play in front of big crowds all the time," Langford said. "It's just the same story, different day. That's part of basketball." Despite a warm welcome during introductions, Self's return to the arena he once coached and played in was bitter. The Jayhawks have now fallen behind in the three horse race for the Big 12's regular season crown. The Cowboys are now alone atop the conference standings at 8-1, with Texas right behind at 7-1. Kansas' 7-2 mark kept it a game ahead of Texas Tech. "We're not out of it," Self said. "But we're going to have to be awfully impressive the rest of the way." — Edited by Amanda Kim Stairrett COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Kit Leffler/Kansan Coach Bill Self looked on during the conclusion of Kansas' loss to Oklahoma State. The Cowboys defeated the Jayhawks in Stillwater, Okla., 80-60. Oklahoma State took sole possession of first place in the Big 12 Conference with a 8-1 record, 18-2 overall. SELF: Giddens. Case return home The Jayhawks' trip to Oklahoma also marked a homecoming of sorts for two Jayhawk freshmen. Freshman forward J.R. Giddens and freshman guard Jeremy Case both grew up in Oklahoma. Giddens scored 12 points connecting on four three-pointers, and Case added two points and one assist. Self said the two were excited to come home, but there wasn't much either could have done after the Cowboys' hot start. "We would have tried anything," Self said. "They wouldn't let us play with six, but we would've tried that, too." — Edited by Amanda Kim Stairrett KANSAS 44 Freshman center David Padaett tanles with Oklahoma State's Daniel Bobik during first half action. The Cowboys clipped the Jayhawks at Oklahoma state. Dogs compete for star-studded crowd at top show The Associated Press NEW YORK — His barks bouncing all around the arena, Josh looked eager to get going. And with a lick of a fan's face and guided by his lucky leash, the big, black Newfoundland bounded back onto the green carpet at Madison Square Garden. Moments later, handler Michelle Ostermiller was kissing his slobbering muzzle, the crowd was cheering and it was official: an early win yesterday at Westminster, then a victory at night marked him as a favorite at America's most prestigious dog show. "People are drawn to him because he's a real dog," coowner Peggy Helming said. "He's got a heart as big as he is." With actresses Delta Burke and Glenn Close among the fanciers in attendance, there figured to plenty of competition among the 2,624 entries. And a lot of it might come from the nation's No.1 show dog, a perky Norfolk terrier named Coco. "It's insane, it's chaotic backstage," said Burke, currently in the Broadway show "Thoroughly Modern Millie." Josh was a repeat winner in the working group, assuring him a spot in the final seven. Plus, he'll have this factor in his favor tonight when the top dog is chosen: the judge who picked him in the group last year is the best in show judge this time. To win, though, he'll have to beat out Coco, a 5-year-old from England. She's already won 54 best in show titles, including the widely televised AKC/Eukanuba event in Long Beach, Calif. Exceptionally sprite with a fast gait, Coco breezed in best of breed. Show chairman Thomas Bradley congratulated handler Beth Sweigart with a kiss, and Coco later won the terrier group. "She thinks she is an excellent dog. She is asking to win," Sweigart said. Over the years, terriers have dominated this all-champion event for purebreds, with a Kerry blue terrier named Mick winning last February. Coco was aiming to do the same at this 128th Westminster show. A primed Pekingese called Les and a standard poodle named Mikimoto on Fifth also repeated in best of breed, and advanced to group judging Monday night. The dogs came in 162 breeds and varieties, in all shapes and sizes. There were 79 different kinds of Dachshunds but only one American water spaniel, there were canines that took part in recent sled dog races and others that visited hospital patients last weekend. "They are show dogs, sure, but they are regular dogs, too," said David Freil, co-host of USA Network's coverage. "They sleep on our couches and steal food off our counters." Josh clearly was the most popular last year after he turned around to watch himself on the video board. He sounded his presence this time, and even judge Ruth Zimmerman laughed — in Westminster parlance, he's "very vocal" because show people frown on saying a dog barks a lot, fearing it makes them appear too unruly. At 155 pounds, the 4-year-old Josh weighs a lot more than Ostermiller. She kept telling him. "slow, slow" when he romped around the ring and, no surprise, she emerged with his black hair all over her ice blue suit. "He's just letting you know he's there." Ostermiller said. All in all, a fine performance that ended a two-month retirement to compete. "That's hard to beat," praised rival handle Karen Mammano. Like a lot of show people, Ostermiller and Helming have their own set of superstitions and lucky charms. They also have things to avoid — no handler wears a No. 13 armband at Westminster. Ostermiller took out her lead, commonly called the leash, from a plastic bag to use one more time. She also followed tradition by matching the color of her wash-cloth, used to tidy Josh's mouth, with her outfit. Helming wanted No. 5 for the show ring, yet instead wound up with 17. No problem, because when Helming and her dog checked into her hotel across the Garden, guess what room she got? Yep, No.555. "So. we're OK," she said. Mammano always uses three rubber bands to hold her armband and comb in place. She's also particular about what she wears. Sweigart only grooms her aspiring best in show with a special "Coco brush," featuring a picture of a Norfolk terrier on the back. Others use lucky pennies, pendant and play toys, while some rely on routines with a more personal touch. Handler Hiram Stewart, guiding Les the Pekingese, preferred a positive talk with his pooch before big events. "I tell him he's the king." Stewart said. Life is calling. How far will you go?

In Wallace, Atlanta gets an often-troubled player who's averaging 17 points a game. He drew the ire of NBA commissioner David Stern earlier this season when he told The Oregonian newspaper that the league's white establishment is exploiting young black athletes to enrich itself. Wallace later issued an apology. Last season, he was suspended by the league for seven games for threatening an official on the loading dock at the Rose Garden Arena after a game. It was the longest suspension ever handed down that did not involve physical contact or substance abuse. In the 2000-01 season, he set the NBA record with 41 technical fouls. The announcement of the trade came about 90 minutes after the Hawks beat the Dallas Mavericks 102-96. Abdur-Rahim had 27 points and 10 rebounds in the victory, and is averaging about 20 points this season. He goes to the Trail Blazers with center Theo Ratliff and little-used point guard Dan Dickau, a first-round pick of the Sacramento Kings in 2002, who was traded to the Hawks on draft day. The contracts for Wallace and Person end after this season, clearing up salary cap room for the Hawks. They are right at the luxury tax threshold. Person, a guard, averages about six points a game. The Associated Press Heisman runner-up eligible for NFL draft FOOTBALL PITTSBURGH—Larry Fitzger ald finally made the decision everyone expected: to enter the NFL draft. The Heisman Trophy runner-up said Monday that he would forge his collegiate career at Pittsburgh to turn professional. Fitzgerald, who will turn 21 in August, is projected to go early in the draft. Though the receiver played just two seasons with the Panthers, that was enough time for him to break several school and NCAA records. His announcement came four days after he was declared eligible for the draft. "The main reason people come to college is to better your chances of making a living, and I think that my two years that I've had here,I've given myself a good opportunity to make a good living ... for myself and to support my family," Fitzgerald said. He petitioned the NFL to allow him to enter the draft despite two seasons of play. Fitzgerald left the Academy of Holy Angels in Richfield, Minn., midway through his senior year in 2001 and transferred to Valley Forge (Pa.) Military Academy to boost his grades for college. The NFL cleared the way for Fitzgerald to enter the April draft because he is three years past his senior year of high school. "I'm very confident in my ability," he said. "I know there's going to be skeptics and there's going to be people out there criticizing this and criticizing that, but all-in-all I know I can play the game of football." The league's decision on Fitzgerald came on the same day a federal judge ruled running back Maurice Clarett could also turn pro despite playing only one season at Ohio State. In that ruling Thursday, the judge said NFL rules regarding its draft violate federal antitrust laws. The ruling overturned the league's rule barring players from being eligible for the draft before they were out of high school for three years. The 20-year-old Fitzgerald was dominating last season. He finished a close second to Oklahoma quarterback Jason White in voting for the Heisman Trophy, nearly becoming the first sophomore to win the award. He was the most proficient receiver in Pittsburgh history and set three NCAA records, including most consecutive games with a touchdown catch (18), most touchdown catches for a freshman-sophomore (34) and most yards receiving by a sophomore (1,672), besting Randy Moss' 1997 sophomore year. He tied the record for most games catching a touchdown pass in a season (12). In 2003, Fitzgerald caught 87 passes and led all NCAA receivers with 1,595 yards in 12 regular-season games. The Associated Press COLLEGE BASKETBALL Colorado guard out because of leg injury COLUMBIA, Mo. — Senior guard Josh Kroenke will not play for Missouri against Colorado on Tuesday, after cutting his leg in practice. During a practice session Sunday, Missouri basketball spokesman Sam Fleury said Monday, the backboard broke when guard Thomas Gardner dunked. The rim struck Kroenke in the leg, opening a 1-inch cut and bruising his thigh. Kroenke, a reserve, is averaging 3.4 points and 19.1 minutes a game for Missouri (9-10, 4-5 Big 12). The Associated Press ROBINETT: Coach Self needs to start with Graves CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A At his news conference last Wednesday, Self said David Padgett was definitely their starter unless he got hurt or his foot started bothering him. Self said he thought Padgett could score and rebound more than other players. Padgett does have the better offensive numbers, averaging seven points and 5.3 rebounds a game. But statistics do not always tell the true story. Padgett has the advantage on paper only because he plays four and a half more minutes a game than Graves. The two have nearly identical statistics when they start. Graves averaged seven points and 3.4 rebounds in the five games he started, compared to an average of 4.73 points and 5.1 rebounds a game when he was not. Padgett still holds a slight rebounding edge, even when they both start. But the two rebounds a game Padgett grabs over Graves do not make up for the intangibles Graves brings to the floor. Padgett is also only a freshman. At six feet eleven inches tall and 230 pounds, he lacks the muscle necessary to bang inside with the country's best big men. During the Border War game last Monday, even Missouri's senior tandem of Travon Bryant and Arthur Johnson continually forced him out of position in the lane. The freshman also lacks experience. He has fought with teammates for rebounds, appeared lost on defense, and missed wide open lay-ups when he easily could have dunked the ball countless times this season. Or, as Self puts it: "I think every day is a learning experience for him." Graves, on the other hand, has plenty of experience. He showed flashes of greatness last season in the NCAA tournament scoring 13 points and pulling down 15 rebounds against Arizona to help the Jayhawks reach the Final Four. And his 16 points and 16 rebounds kept Kansas close to Syracuse in the national title game. Besides experience, Graves also has something Padgett does not: heft. With 25 more pounds of weight to throw inside. Graves has the type of body to finish plays, defend and wrestle with any forward or center in the country. There is also some extra confidence that comes along with being called the starter. When Graves comes off the bench, it seems as if he tries too hard to make an immediate impact, and picks up quick fouls. If he were named the starter, he could receive a confidence boost and might return to his 2003 tournament form. Coming in off the bench could also relieve some of the pressure that Padgett has had so far as a starter. Fans might see a more relaxed Padgett, if he realized not as much was expected from him. To be sure, Padgett is a key factor to this team, and needs to play around 20 minutes a game. But that is time he he can easily receive, filling in for Graves and Simien when they need a rest, or are in foul trouble. If Kansas is going to make a run at the Big 12 title, though — and ultimately make noise in the NCAA tournament — they need to start Graves. This might gel better with the type of finesse game he plays, and allow him to make outside jumpers, like he did against Texas Tech, on a more consistent basis.

Kathleen Sebelius announced her budget proposal Jan. 19, KU provosts feared cuts to fee-based programs, or programs students pay for, would raise student fees. Other fee-based programs include Continuing Education, Recreation Services and services at Watkins Memorial Heath Center. But if the cuts only last one year, programs like housing will use saved money, maintaining student fees near their current level, said Ken Stoner, director of Student Housing. The cuts are a result of Sebelius' decree to raise state employees' pay 3 percent next year, which along with other pay increases, will cost the University of Kansas more than $9 million. All faculty and staff will benefit from the pay raise. from the pay raise. The mandate resulted in a $7.7 million shortfall, some of which will be cut from fee-based programs and other programs FIRST LOOK Of the $7.7 million shortfall created by Gov.

"I'm not allowed to do anything anymore, and I look like a zombie," Cessarich said. "We want people who are working to look like they're working — not on vacation," Marchiony said. "If they're there to watch the game, they should stay home and watch it on TV."

Last night it received approval for a waiver, which restored those privileges The Replay Lounge had renewed its liquor license earlier. luxurie license carrier. The Replay Lounge opened in 1993, before a city ordinance prohibited the sale of alcohol within 400 feet of a church. The ordinance within effect in 1994. The 10-year-old establishment had not renewed its city liquor license for 60 days and lost its privileges to sell alcohol within 400 feet of a church. But the Lounge was "grandfathered" in as a drinking establishment, and did not have to heed that requirement. Because the Lounge lapsed in renewing its liquor license, it lost its grandfather' privileges. The Lawrence City Commission approved the waiver with a 5-0 vote during last night's city commission meeting. Nick Carroll, co-owner of The Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., said he had made an honest mistake when he forgot to renew his city liquor license. He had depended on the city to send a reminder and was not trying to keep money from the city, he said. Dave Corliss, assistant city manager, said the city was at fault for not sending a renewal reminder like it had in the past. Carroll said that the Replay Lounge gets music acts from across the world, and that it did not have any problems with the churches. The Salvation Army opposed the waiver only because of a national policy that required it to oppose nearby drinking establishments, Carroll said. The city required the Replay Lounge to appear at City Hall to mediate and put some expectations in place that businesses will be good neighbors, said Mike Rundle, vice-mayor. Sue Hack, commissioner, said the Replay Lounge was a good neighbor in the Lawrence community. "I do remember the hard work you've gone through to work as a downtown partner," Hack said. "We have people all over this community that aren't good partners with their neighbors." Commissioner Dennis "Boog" Highberger said the Replay Lounge differed from other waver applicants because it involved an existing business. He said that the Replay Lounge was a very important part of the music scene. "I think it would be completely inappropriate to deny a waiver for Replay Lounge," Highberger said. Edited by Donovan Atkinson School works to recruit female engineers By Rupal Gor rgor@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Engineering is a male-dominated field, but faculty members in the School of Engineering at the University of Kansas are encouraging female students to join the school. Females make up 17.7 percent of the school's students. Robert Sorem, associate dean of engineering administration said young females were not typically encouraged in the science and engineering fields because the fields seemed more like areas for males. Faculty members are trying to change that perception, making use of programs to increase the school's female enrollment One such program is Weekend of Engineering, held next on Feb. 20 to 22 by the Society of Women Engineers. The program allows female high school students to interact with current female engineering students and participate in activities throughout the weekend. The school expects 40 female students to attend, said Florence Boldridge, director of diversity programs for the School of Engineering. The first Weekend of Engineering was Nov.7 to 9, with 18 girls in attendance. Cecille Hernandez, an Olathe East High School senior, will attend the February Weekend of Engineering. She said the program would be an opportunity to see what she is capable of doing. Women can make it in engineering just as well as men can, Hernandez said. They just have to step up a bit to prove themselves. Another event is Project Discovery, a week-long summer program for prospective female students to explore engineering principles and work in labs.

The Larned businessman described his frustration Monday for the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is considering a bill to repeal the statute. The hypnotism ban was instituted in 1903, when legislators made it a misdeanor to hypnotize anyone under 18.

The Department of Student Housing will offer seven KU Cuisine meal plans designed to provide more convenience, said Nona Golledge, assistant director of student dining services. "We're trying to work with students and provide them with more services to meet their needs." Golledge said. Students in residence halls can choose from four different plans through their housing contracts that include a combination of allyou-care-to-eat meals in any of the student housing dining centers, as well as "KU Cuisine Cash," Gotledge said. She said both the meals and the cash would be stored on the student's KU card KU Cuisine cash could be used for meals or snacks at more than a dozen campus locations, including the Kansas and Burge Unions and Wescoe Terrace, Golledge said. She said students would receive a 10 percent discount at all campus locations when they used their KU Cuisine Cash. The fewer fixed meals the plan had, the more KU Cuisine Cash there would be to spend, Golledge said. For example, the Rock Chalk 500 Plan includes 500 dining center meals, $100 in KU Cuisine Cash and 10 guest passes. Golledge that said half of the meals, cash and guest passes would be available on the student's KU Card at the beginning of each semester, giving them an average of approximately 15 meals per week. She said the goal was for students to pick a plan that will benefit them most and use it all before the semester is over. On-campus apartment residents, off-campus students and faculty and staff can sign up for any of these plans even without a housing contract, Golledge said. They also have three other KU Cuisine plans to choose from, including the Big Jay and Baby Jay Plans, which feature only KU Cuisine Cash and guest passes to the student dining centers. The increased flexibility of these meal plans would be convenient, said Kristin Conklin. Hutchinson freshman. Conklin lives in Corbin Hall and often eats dinner at Mrs. E's because it offers more variety than the GSP dining center, she said. She said it would be nice to be able to use her meal plan to go other places as well. On days when Conklin has only an hour break between classes, she said having a prepaid option at the Union would be especially useful, but that it might be a hassle for people to have to keep track of the number of fixed meals they ate throughout the semester. "They might end up with lots left over because they were afraid they'd run out, or not enough because they used them all in the beginning." Conklin said. Adam Bittlingmayer, Lawrence freshman, said he welcomed the idea of being able to divide his meals between weeks as he saw fit, but he said there should be at least one plan that didn't have KU Cuisine Cash. "For some people it may not be the thing." Bittlingmayer said. "They may not want to eat junk food, or they're not down where New dining plans For the 2004-05 academic year KU Custine, the official campus meal plan, will be offering seven KU Custine meal plans.

Andrew Vaupel/Kansan any of those places are." Source: KU Kucine Web site, www.kucine.com Mary Brungardt said as a Park and Ride student, she was sometimes tempted by the convenience of Mrs. E's as opposed to preparing a meal at home. The Overland Park junior said she might consider a plan like the $1,200 Blue 100 Plan, which offers 100 meals, $500 KU Cuisine Cash, and two guest passes, but committing that much money could be intimidating. "It's kind of a big price tag," Brungardt said. "If I was going to eat at Es' I wouldn't want the cash. I would just want one or the other." I would just wait one more time. The convenience of these plans does come at a cost, Golledge said. The current weekly meal plans range in price from $1,574 to $2,324, whereas the plans for next year range from $1,852 to $3,050. Golledge said that with the traditional weekly meal plans, it was assumed that students would not eat 100 percent of their meals each week, and factoring in those missed meals kept the cost more affordable. "We know that the majority will eat all of their meals now, so we have to price these plans a little bit higher to cover the cost of the meals." Golled said. She said these plans would be a completely different concept from what students are used to, and they would have until the first day of classes each semester to make changes to their meal plans. In the meantime, Golledge said the department would continue to collect student feedback as it began to look at options for the 2005 to 2006 school year. Lewis' background and experience inspires students - Edited by Robert Perkins By Jodie Kraftt jkrafft@kansan.com Kansan staff writer More than 40 years ago, Delano Lewis came to the University of Kansas with two goals: to graduate and to become successful enough that he could help less-fortunate people. By most standards, he has accomplished what he set out to do, and more. as a U.S. Ambassador to South Africa. Since graduating from the University in 1960, Lewis has received a law degree, served in the U.S. Peace Corps, been a president and CEO of both a telephone company and National Public Radio and been appointed Growing up in a segregated community and attending the only black high school in Kansas City, Kan., Lewis said he wanted to become a lawyer to effect change. PETER DAVIS Lewis "I was very concerned about the plight of minorities, especially African-Americans, in a segregated society," he said. After he received his law degree from Washburn University, Lewis and his wife, Gayle. moved to Washington, D.C., where Lewis worked for the U.S. Department of Justice and later the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In 1966, Lewis served in the U.S. Peace Corps in Nigeria, a position he said was one of the most broadening experiences of his life. Lewis said he learned a lot about the U.S. economy and the business world during his years at C & P Telephone Company and National Public Radio, and that he felt honored to represent the United States as an ambassador. "They are all important pieces of my life, and each has enriched me and my family," Lewis said. Lewis now lives in Las Cruces, N.M., where he is president and CEO of Lewis & Associates, a communications consulting practice. During his years at the University, LewL said he strove to take advantage of every opportunity he could on campus, Lewis joined the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and represented the University at a Big 8 talent show as a tap dancer. "The foundation for the things I have achieved started at KU, and I'm very proud of that," Lewis said. Lewis returned to the University in 2002 to speak to African- American high school students at the Black Leadership Symposium. His speech focused on the importance of diversity in international affairs and business. His professional demeanor and message was effective to the audience, said Paul Mobiley, Kansas City, Kan., senior. "He told us to keep on striving to achieve our goals," Mobiley said. Mobiley said that Lewis did a good job of relating to the young people in the crowd while remaining professional. In addition to attending the symposium, Mobiley attended a reception where he visited with Lewis. Mobiley said he and Lewis connected because of their shared hometown and fraternity Lewis said that students should take advantage of their time on campus, and that they should use their careers to better themselves and think of how they could contribute to society. He said Black History Month was a time to remember Africans and African-Americans and draw motivation from their successes. "It's good to know about those who have gone before us," Lewis said, "those who have managed to succeed, excel and open the doors when things were much more difficult."

GOOD BUY 9992 CALL PHONE Paul Whittemore for The University Daily Kansan What are you going to do when you finish reading this newspaper? Will you fold it up and stick it under your desk for the nighttime janitor to pick it up, or casually drop it as you are walking up the steps to your next class? OUR VIEW Pick up your Kansan inserts. Throw them in one of the many bins, old and new, around campus. It seems that no matter where the Kansan ends up, it is not in one of the 50 recycling bins around campus or in strategically placed trash cans. Instead, newspapers line the Budig Hall corridor or turn to pulp on Jayhawk Boulevard. Our daily paper, which is supposed to benefit the University, mars its beauty. Every day, Facilities Operations employees pick up our classrooms and clean up the papers that were haphazardly tnrown on the ground. Students are often unappreciative of how little they have to do to maintain their alma mater. PERSPECTIVE KU Recycling, the Student Environmental Advisory Board and KU Environs have recently merged efforts with Design and Construction Management and Facilities Operations to create more receptacles for newspapers, and later, for aluminum cans and bottles. However, the process to approve the proposed clean-up measures is difficult because many clearances are needed. Celeste Fish, a member of KU Recycling, said although administrators questioned whether this will solve the problem, the bins should be up within the next few months. Until then, let's not litter our campus with saturated newsprint. Put this newspaper in a trash can or, preferably, a recycling bin, and give Facilities Operations a much-deserved break. Calendar war out of hand There has been a lot of debate at the University, on this page and otherwise, about calendars. To be precise, the debate involves which ones and how many the University of Kansas community needs. It started with the somewhat controversial Women of KU Calendar. Now, we have a Women of Distinction Calendar, which highlights the University's role in women's issues—and more clothes. PETER HAMILTON Brandon Gay opinion@hansan.com I have heard positive reactions to the Women of Distinction Calendar, and I've heard some students say "Women of Distinction Calendar? What next?" COMMENTARY "What next" turned out to be a Men of Distinction calendar that was proposed but failed to get funding from Student Senate. We haven't gone too far with our calendars yet, but I suspect when we do, we'll know. These calendars may be easy targets for critics, but there is nothing wrong with calendars highlighting students who stand out, whether it's for academics or physical fitness. We can't say any group is more or less deserving of its own calendar. A calendar featuring women should have a counterpart featuring men. But what about students who play the trombone well or are good with computers? How about students who get straight C's but work hard? They all stand out in their own way. If we want to have our swimsuit calendar, we're going to have to accept, with open arms, calendars of all types. We're going to need a lot of calendars. We'll need calendars featuring artists, musicians, computer geeks and hippies. We'll need to show off KU Parking Department Officials of Distinction and the Administrators of KU. We'll need a Bureaucrats of KU calendar. Each box on the grid will have a different phone number students can call to get the phone number of someone who has the e-mail address of someone who has the phone number of a place they can call to find out what campus events will be happening that day. Our campus is about more than people, so we'll need a Buildings of Distinction calendar, too. This one would include Wescoe Hall in its winter glory and Learned Hall in its autumn splendor. I applaud the University for its recent technology upgrades, but for those who wish to reminisce, we're going to need a KU Computers of Dysfunction calendar. We may end up with a 3:1 student to calendar ratio,but at least we can brag about being the best in the Big 12 at something other than basketball. Also, the University's annual KU Calendars of Distinction calendar will be unique, featuring pictures of the year's best calendars. Before criticizing the calendars we already have or the men's one that has been proposed, let's just be thankful we haven't gone too far yet. We don't have a picture of Wescoe Hall hanging next to the Women of KU. At least, not yet. Gay is a Norton senior in journalism and political science. MDE! YOU ALL up? PHOTO SHOOT... IM MR.

PERSPECTIVE Punctuality lost with this generation Punctuality: It shouldn't be a hard concept for students at the University of Kansas to grasp. We've been on other people's schedules since birth, from feedings to nap-times to 30-minute open lunches in high school. Yet in my experience, it's rare for a class to make it 10 minutes without a few stragglers swinging open the door and looking for an empty chair, as the eyes of the class shift from the teacher to the classroom newcomer. Now, I'm not saying I've never felt those eyes. In fact, I know of one professor who is going to see the headline above this column and my smiling face below it and will likely laugh out loud. In her class this spring, I seem to have a knack for showing up a few (20 to 40) minutes late every single time we have a beginning-of-class quiz. But lately, I've begun to understand the perspective of teachers such as Italian professor Jan Kozma. Kozma said actions like mine were inconsiderate of teachers and other students. "Lateness sends the message that you think your time is more important that everyone else's," Kozma said. COMMENTARY Kozma said she didn't have many Zack Hemenway opinion@kansan.com problems with tardiness from her students. She also said when she had a meeting with a student, she waited five minutes for them and then promptly left her office. Perhaps the two are related. But simply be late doesn't necessarily send the message Kozma describes. Attitude makes a difference as well. Few can fault the interruption of out-of-breath, unkempt latecomers sliding inconspicuously and quietly into a seat, apology evident in their body language. As I said, we've all been there. However, another brand of belated learner makes the statement of disrespect loud and clear. These students, whom we'll call the "Starbucks scholars", always stroll brazenly into class, head held high and a large — no, make that *venti* — steaming cup in hand. "Yeah, I'm late. So what?" they seem to be saying. "I even stopped on the way for this latte." This must rub salt — or pour steaming hot liquid — on the wounds of the teachers of interrupted classes and meetings campuswide. A fresh, store-bought cup o'joe tells everyone you made a pit stop on the way to the classroom or meeting. It taunts them, letting them know that five minutes ago, when they were listening to a lecture, you were standing behind a soccer mom trying to decide between carmel macchiato and vanilla mocha java. Starbucks, Java Break, even Union coffee-shoppers, you know who you are. Ditch the coffee if you're cutting it close. You'd be surprised. You might even show up on time. The rest of us need to start sticking to our schedules, too. The end of college is just around the corner and the real world is waiting to punch us in the stomach and take our lunch money. If we're on time now to whimsical pastimes like college classes, we'll be that much less likely to roll over and hit snooze when William Beedles, professor of business, said punctuality was an important part of success in the business world. Beedles said students should use their classes to rehearse for future work schedules. "One of the great things about a university is that it gives you the opportunity to practice appropriate behavior when the stakes are low," Beedles said. We need the practice. I know I do. And with an eye on my future, I've been making an effort to get everywhere — class, meetings, body-hair waxing appointments, whatever — on time. But just in case I don't, let me say in advance: Professor Pottorff, please let me make up the quiz. I promise I'll be on time tomorrow. something really important comes along.

And while they may not be suffering from a cold or the flu, they might have SAD — seasonal affective disorder. SAD is a type of depression that starts during the winter because of the lack of intensity and duration of sunlight. It begins during daylight saving time when the days get shorter and the nights get longer, said Michael Jacobs, psychologist at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. Although research shows that this disorder occurs more in the Northern United States, the disorder does occur in this area, said Frank DeSalvo, director for Counseling and Psychological Services. DeSalvo and Raymond Higgins, director of the University's psychological clinic in Fraser Hall. said they have seen some cases of seasonal depression on campus. Paul Saab, Newton senior, said he knew people who claimed that they suffered from seasonal depression but was still skeptical about SAD. "I think everybody gets down during the colder months unless you're a winter person, but it's just the bad weather that's making them feel depressed," Saab said. Jacobs said one reason that sunlight alters our mood was that it affected the neurotransmitter serotonin. Exposure to sunlight can increase the amount of serotonin in the brain, Jacobs said. The symptoms of SAD and a lack of serotonin are fatigue, an increase in carbohydrate cravings "I think everybody gets down during the colder months unless you're a winter person, but it's just the bad weather that's making them feel depressed." Paul Saab Newton senior Jacobs said research showed that SAD occurred more in women, and that it was most dominant from ages 20 to 30. and a general lack of interest in activities that a person would normally enjoy. Psychologists have used various techniques, such as light therapy, to help their patients. The Bert Nash Mental Health Center, 200 Maine St., had a program that used light therapy, but the program was stopped this year because of the increasing availability of light therapy equipment to the public, said Debrah Steinburg, medical director for the Center. "Since the cost of light boxes went down, patients are buying them and using them at home instead of coming to a clinic and sitting in front of a light," Steinburg said. Serotonin-inhibiting medicines such as Zoloft and Paxill are prescribed for several types of depression, Steinburg said. But for a person suffering from a clear case of SAD, light therapy should be the first option because it is the safest. Others psychologists are using natural forms of therapy to help those suffering from SAD. Researchers at the University of California-Berkeley found that the dietary supplement SAM-e Eat a well-balanced diet. Take vitamins and make sure to get enough fresh fruit and vegetables. Tips to defeat SAD Exercise. Physical exercise may release hormones and neurochemicals that restore your body's balance. Yoga is helpful for relieving feelings of anxiety due to its breathing and meditative practices. Talk to your doctor. Socialize. Source: Richard Brown M.D., and associate professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University could be effective for treating many types of depression, including SAD, but with fewer side effects than some anti-depressants. SAM-e is a synthetic form of chemical compound that our body produces naturally. Like other supplements. SAME is not regulated by the U.S. government, but in Europe the supplement is regulated as a drug and prescribed to Europeans suffering from SAD and other types of depression. Jacobs said SAM-e had helped his patients improve their emotional stability, which ultimately improved their health. "If a person is not emotionally well it's impossible for them to be physically well," Jacobs said. - Edited by Paul Kramer EARN $1,000 THIS SPRING YOU MUST LIVE IN THE DORMS AND EAT AT MRS.E'S OR OLIVER TO APPLY ONLINE OR FOR MORE INFORMATION: www.ebl.ku.edu/ Phone: 864-0776 E-mail: Smithbr@ku.edu Enrollment Ends Feb. 12 $ ^{th} $ Creative Suite Adobe Creative Suite Premium Create Now Photoshop CS Illustrator CS InDesign CS GoLive CS A Avoid The Computer Bugs!

Stewart immediately stood up and ordered the message restored to its original wording, Ann Armstrong said. Prosecutors hope the testimony will bolster the essential point of their case — that Stewart tried to cover her tracks after she dumped her ImClone shares in December 2001. In hopes of convincing jurors Stewart lied about the sale, the government followed Armstrong's testimony with that of a government investigator who said Stewart later claimed not to recall seeing the message at all. The original message read: "Peter Bacanovic thinks ImClone is going to start trading downward." It reflected a call by Bacanovic on Dec. 27, 2001, the day Stewart sold her 3,928 shares in the company. Armstrong testified Stewart saw the message about a month later, on Jan. 31, 2002, and replaced it with the words: "Peter Bacovic re elmclone." Armstrong told jurors she was "startled" by Stewart's conduct, and that she had never before altered a message in the log, which Armstrong maintains at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Stewart's media company. "She instantly stood up, still standing at my desk, and told me to put it back to the way it was," the assistant testified at Stewart's stock-fraud trial in federal court. Several days later, Stewart claimed she did not recall any record of Bacanovic's message from the day of the sale, according to Helene Glotzer, a Securities and Exchange Commission lawyer. Glotzer testified that Stewart also said she did not recall hearing that ImClone founder Sam Waksal and his family were trying to dump ImClone stock.

A hospital official said at least 50 people were killed and 50 others wounded. U. S. officials in Baghdad reported 35 dead and 75 wounded but said those figures could be low since Iraqi authorities were handling the investigation. Kimmitt, deputy operations chief, said it was too early to say who was responsible and that it was unclear whether the blast was triggered by a suicide driver. Lt. Col. Abdul Rahim Saleh the local Iraqi police commander, said the attack was a suicide operation, carried out by a driver who detonated a red pickup as it passed the station. Lt. Gen. Ahmed Kadhum Ibrahim, Iraqi policeman, said in Baghdad the engine number of the vehicle used in the attack indicated it used to belong to a former intelligence officer in Saddam Hussein's regime. In Baghdad, Brig. Gen. Mark The police opened fire in the air to disperse dozens of angry residents who stormed the site after hearing rumors the blast was caused by an American rocket. "No, no to America! The police are traitors; not Sunnis, not Shilites! This crime was by the Americans!" the crowd shouted before leaving. Bishop denies charge The Associated Press PHOENIX — Bishop Thomas O'Brien conceded during his hit-and-run trial yesterday that he asked about getting his windshield fixed even though he knew police were investigating whether the car had been involved in a deadly accident. "I was interested in getting the windshield fixed at some time," the Roman Catholic clergyman said in his second day on the witness stand. "There is no way I would have gotten that windshield fixed that day." A diocesan secretary testified earlier that O'Brien called her about the windshield, which was smashed when O'Brien's car hit a pedestrian, the Monday after the weekend accident. She said she thought O'Brien wanted it fixed the same day. But O'Brien said the secretary might have misunderstood him. The bishop has said he initially thought has car had been hit by a rock or a dog. Prosecutors have argued that O'Brien knew or should have known that he hit a pedestrian on the night of June 14. The 68-year-old bishop is accused of leaving the scene of an accident that killed Jim Reed. If convicted, O'Brien could get nearly four years in prison. His arrest ended his 21-year career as head of the Phoenix Diocese. The accident occurred less than two weeks after prosecutors announced O'Brien had struck a deal to avoid indictment on obstruction charges for protecting child-molesting priests. The bishop was told by a diocesan official, Monsignor Dale Fushek, the day after the accident that police were concerned the car might have been involved in a fatal accident, but O'Brien did not speak to police until the next day. Monday. "All this time had elapsed and police had still not contacted me," O'Brien said. "That led me to believe what happened Saturday night did not involve me."

The damages to the two downtown businesses are to be paid equally by Tulsa, Okla.-based ONEOK Inc. and Mid-Continent Marketing Center Inc., an affiliated marketing subsidiary. After two days of deliberations, the jury also awarded punitive damages against Mid-Continent. A hearing will be scheduled in March before Judge James Fleet wood to determine the amount of those damages. State geologists and investigators have said the explosions were caused by natural gas that leaked from an underground storage cavern owned by ONEOK. They say the gas traveled from the Yaggy storage field seven miles northwest of Hutchinson, erupting from old brine wells beneath the city. The blasts destroyed several buildings and killed two people. The explosion and fire on Jan. 17, 2001, destroyed the Woody's Furniture and Decor Party Supplies buildings on the first day of the eruptions. The jury awarded more than $955,600 to Woody's and $755.250 to Decor. Defense attorney Lynn Hirsch argued there's no proof the gas involved in the explosion was the same gas that escaped from the Yaggy gas storage field or that the apparent violations of safety regulations actually contributed to the explosions. This is one of more than a dozen lawsuits stemming from the explosions. The largest lawsuit is scheduled for trial this summer in Reno County. It is a class-action lawsuit brought on behalf of all businesses and property owners in the county and seeks $350 million in damages for loss of business and property values. The Associated Press Casinos to add lottery in plan TOPEKA —A Senate committee got its first look Tuesday at Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' expanded gambling initiative, opening what likely will be a long, acrimonious battle. Matt All, Sebelius' chief counsel, briefed the Federal and State Affairs Committee on the plan for up to five large state-owned casinos, up to 2,500 video lottery machines spread among Kansas' five pari-mutuel tracks, and up to five video lottery machines at each hall operated by fraternal organizations. A seven-member commission would study proposals from casino developers and choose which to approve. The governor would appoint four commission members _ and name the chairman _ while the leaders of the two parties in the House and Senate would each appoint one member. Sen. Kay O'Connor, R-Olathe, suggested that such an arrangement could produce a commission chosen to fit the governor's views. All said many of the details in Sebelius' plan are negotiable, including the makeup of the commission. He estimated the state would receive about $60 million a year from video lottery machines at the pari-mutuel tracks and $30 million from a single large casino. Communities with a casino could receive up to 4 percent of the gambling revenues under Sebelius' plan. Another selling point of the gambling plan is local control, which All said would ensure that a proposed casino is a good fit for a community. Any casino authorized by the commission would be subject to a county-wide vote. Committee Chairman Pete Brungardt, R-Salina, said in an interview that expanded gambling is gaining momentum, in part because of the state's financial condition and partly because lawmakers are learning that many of their constituents already gamble. But Brungardt said a hearing on the bill scheduled for Thursday probably would be held next week. week. He said he expects numerous amendments to the measure before it passes out of committee Sebelius fights military base closings in Kansas TOPEKA—Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has drafted legislators, business leaders, retired generals and the Kansas congressional delegation for a commission intended to protect Kansas' interests in the next round of military base closings. The Strategic Military Planning Commission will advocate for Fort Leavenworth, Fort Riley, McConnell Air Force Base and Forbes Field as a federal panel decides which posts nationwide should be closed. kansan.com The federal panel is to send the president its list by Sept. 8, 2005. State and military officials estimate that the installations, including the Kansas National Guard, contribute more than $2 billion to the Kansas economy. In addition to appointing the state's two U.S. senators and four U.S. House members, Sebelius named Lt. Gov. John Moore as the commission's chairman and John Armburst of Manhattan as executive director. Sebelius has also asked legislators to consider spending $250,000, matched by contributions from communities statewide, to hire a lobbyist to promote the state's interests in the base closings process.

"We've made some changes and are trying to make sure that we have the correct number of people — not too many, not too few," Marchiony said. "We will continually assess everything, and if we don't think people are needed, we'll eliminate those positions." There are four main job duties for the event staff members.

Because of the high interest, the school will offer the program twice this summer. Boldridge said organizers hope to have 80 participants. "This program is one of the major efforts in recruiting females to the school," Boldridge said. "We think the number is going to drastically improve for next fall." These programs are designed to make female students feel less intimidated upon entering the University. Mary Novin, Olathe junior, said she was worried as a freshman coming into the male-dominated School of Engineering. A civil engineering major, Novin said programs for high school females would take pressure off of them so that they could excel just as well as male engineering students. "This is a really intimidating, really time-consuming and really structured field," she said. Although three of Novin's engineering classes this year have more males than females, one engineering class stands out. In her hydrology engineering class, seven students are male and 11 are female. It is a unique experience for Novin's instructor, Bryan Young, assistant professor in civil, environmental and architectural engineering.

During that game, though, Kansas was without the services of two of its starters, sophomore forward Tamara Ransburg and ALEXANDRA MORGAN Ervin junior guard Larisha Graves, as well as junior reserve forward Kandis Bonner.

KU Rehab key for injured athletes bromdon Johnson, baseball pitcher and Lawrence senior, threw for the first time in five months Feb. 3 in Anschutz Pavilion. Johnson had surgery 14 weeks ago to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow. Johnson does daily rehab exercises using light weights and rubber bands. By Doyle Murphy dmurphy@kansan.com Kansan senior sportswriter It was just 15 throws from no farther than five yards. A Little Leaguer wouldn't even have called it a good warm up, but Brandon Johnson hadn't thrown a baseball in five months. After surgery 14 weeks ago, using his right hand to toast a piece of crumpled newspaper into a trash can would have seemed like an act of stupidity, if not madness. Megan True/Kansan Earlier in the day, Johnson was one of dozens of student athletes in the Dean Nesmith Training Facility. The facility is used to treat athletes from all of the Kansas varsity sports, and today it looks like the Athletic Department's version of the United Nations with representatives from baseball, football, basketball, cheerleading, volleyball and soccer They jostle amongst each other in a daily routine of stretching, lifting weights, riding stationary bikes and lying on padded tables. While most fans never see this part of sports, it has become as important to being competitive as coaches and players. "I believe it's vital," said Lynn Botts, director of athletic training at the University. "Because you can track a student, you can monitor a student." According to American Sports Data, Inc., of the 35 to 40 million injury-related emergency room visits each year 10 percent are sports-related, making the rehabilitation process essential to success throughout a season. If athletes aren't properly cared for, recovery time can be lengthened indefinitely, robbing teams of valuable players. When Kansas senior quarterback Bill Whittemore suffered a broken collarbone against Kansas State, Jayhawk coach Mark Mangino said Whittemore would likely miss the remainder of the regular season and possibly any postseason games for which Kansas qualified. Entering the game against the Wildcats, Whittemore was leading a Jayhawk offense that was averaging 37.0 points per game. Kansas had won five games and needed just one victory out of its final five to become bowl eligible for the 42-60. The Jayhawks faltered in their next three games, and there was nothing Whittemore could do. He watched from the sidelines, and while he wouldn't say his absence cost Kansas games, he was tortured, knowing he could help his team. Meanwhile, Whittemore's teammates and coaches tried to convince first time since 1995. Whittemore went down in the first quarter, and Kansas lost 42-6. media members, opponents, fans and ultimately themselves that the Jayhawks were bigger than Bill Whittemore It may have seemed callous, but Whittemore had been an athlete for a long-time and understood. His teammates didn't ignore him, and he was still included in team activities, but the role of star and injured star were vastly different.

The plan outlined a method of distributing the 1,822 seats available for current and retired University of Kansas faculty and staff. It gives approximately 1,600 seats to current ticket holders and uses a lottery to distribute the remaining 200 seats to faculty and staff without tickets. At the meeting tomorrow, the Council will vote on the draft. "Why don't we do whatever makes sense and not try to please everyone, because we're not going to anyway." Jill Kleinberg ForFy member FacEx wants an up or down vote from the Council, allowing it to accept or reject the plan, but not amend specific details. "I think people are going to understand this is not something people who have not been close to it can just take an afternoon and start suggesting amendments and so forth," said Ray Davis, FacEx chairman. Davis does not expect the Council to reject the plan, but if it does, FacEx will take it back and work on revisions. Points of the plan that remain blurry include the exact way seating will be assigned. The plan assigns seating on a seniority basis for lottery ticket holders and current ticket holders, but does not specify how that will be done. Representatives from the Athletics Department were present at yesterday's meeting to discuss what specific seating arrangements would be possible. Details also need to be worked out about the types of ticket packages available. The plan originally stated that four-game, eight-game and 16-game packages would be available to current ticket holders and four-game packages would be available in the lottery. FacEx amended the plan to say quarter-season, half-season and full-season packages instead, noting that some seasons had more than 16 home games. But that still does not explain what a quarterseason package would be if the season does not divide evenly into quarters. FacEx member Jill Kleinberg said her group was agonizing too much over small details. "Why don't we do whatever makes sense and not try to please everyone, because we're not going to anyway," Kleinberg said. One thing FacEx did agree on was the need to appoint a committee to control the seating process once the plan was in use. The committee will consist of three people: one faculty member, one classified staff member and one unclassified staff member. Davis said the University Senate Executive Committee would nominate people to serve on the seating committee. TALK TO SPORTS: Contact Henry C.

The man who introduced the bill, Rep. Todd Novascone (R-Wichita) acknowledged it was unlikely to pass. The bill requires the University and Wichita State to play once during the 2005-06 season and once in 2006-07. One game would have to be in Lawrence, the other in Wichita. "I just wanted to get people talking about it," Novascone, a Baylor University graduate, said Monday. "I'm sick of them not playing each other. Hopefully this will stir up talk and if we have a hearing I will certainly make my case. It might turn into something." The schools have not played since the 1992-93 season. They have met 14 times, with Kansas winning 12. "Even some of the KU people are saying, 'Yeah, it has been a long time since they've played.' But the rest are saying, 'Novascone, what are you doing?'," said the Wichita legislator.

Jason Kidd added 16 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in a gritty 43-minute performance as New Jersey overcame a 13-point first-quarter deficit and improved to 8-0 under Frank.

Baylor transfer returns to Waco; greeted with boos, name calling The Associated Press WACO, Texas — Kenny Taylor seemed right at home, even if he wasn't exactly welcomed in his return. Taylor, the first Baylor transfer to return to Waco, scored 18 points on six three-point shots and No.11 Texas beat the Bears 84-58 yesterday. With Baylor students holding signs calling him a traitor and booing each time he touched the ball, Taylor made four three-point shots in the first half. His first put the Longhorns (17-3, 8-1 Big 12) in the lead to stay. After Matt Sayman missed a tying three-point shot for the Bears (7-15, 2-7) with about 4 minutes left in the first half, Taylor hit the first of his three three-point shots in a half-ending 15-1 run that gave the Longhorns a 36-19 lead. offseason when the NCAA relaxed transfer rules. Taylor was the Bears' third-leading scorer last season but, like leading scorers Lawrence Roberts (Mississippi State) and John Lucas (Oklahoma State), he left after Baylor's turbulent the departures of the current juniors came after the shooting death of Patrick Dennehy, for which former player Carlton Dotson faces trial, and a coaching change after serious NCAA violations were revealed. Lucas will come back Feb. 28 with No. 10 Oklahoma State. Baylor won't play No. 6 Mississippi State. Harvey Thomas led Baylor with 20 points, while Terrance Thomas had 14 points and 13 rebounds. Kenton Pauloino added 15 points with four three-point shots for Texas and PJ. Tucker had 10 points and eight rebounds. The Longhorns have won five straight games, and 12 of 13. Texas has won all 13 games against Baylor in coach Rick Barnes'six seasons. The previous 12 had been by an average margin of 15.6 points. Taylor made his first appearance six minutes into the game, and even though his entry wasn't announced, the fans noticed and started booing. He missed his first shot. The Bears shot just 29 percent (18-of-62) in their worst home loss this season. Texas was 31-of-61 (51 percent). When Taylor made his first threepoint shot from the right wing with 10:42 left in the first half, Texas led 10-8 and the cheers of the Longhorns fans drowned out the boos. That started an 8-0 run while Baylor went five minutes without scoring. The 19 points were the lowest total by a Texas opponent in the first half this season. Oklahoma scored just 20 points before halftime — and only 17 after that — in its 66-37 loss to the Longhorns on Sunday. Baylor scored four quick points when Sayman made a basket and Terrance Thomas made two free throws after a technical foul to get within 41-23, but that was the last time the Bears' deficit was less than 20. Paulino hit two three-point shots and Texas scored eight straight points.

The game concluded with a 4-3 defeat. Starting off with a rocky spring semester, the University of Kansas ice hockey team has now gone to 6-14-2, after losing its last four games on the road. Two weeks ago, Jan. 23 and 24 the team went on the road to face the Eagles of Robert Morris, a Division 2 team.

Other goal scorers were Brandon Schultz, Apple Valley, Minn., senior, and David Hall, Wichita freshman. The second game did not go well. With a final score of 0-10, the Jayhawks never got into a groove against the Eagles. Zach Sias, Webster Grove, Mo., freshman, was in goal and faced around the same amount of shots as the previous night. Robert Morris defeated Kansas previously in the Kansas Cup Tournament at the beginning of the season with score of 1-8. Robert Morris is ranked in the top five in the Mid-America Collegiate Hockey Association (MACHA). The following weekend, Jan. 30 and 31, was an off weekend for the "I've been going school, hockey practice, work, homework, sleep since the semester started," said captain Jeff Evans, Omaha, Neb., junior.

This weekend, Kansas has two away games, facing the Bears of Southwest Missouri State. The Bears record stands at 18- 10-0, a challenge for the struggling 'Hawks. — Edited by Stephanie Love** New rules could change National Hockey League HENDERSON, Nev. — Hoping to increase scoring in the National Hockey League, general managers proposed yesterday that goaltenders wear smaller pads and not be allowed to handle the puck behind the goal line. The Associated Press "we are attempting to restrike the balance between offense and defense," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said after a meeting of GMs and three members of the players' association. Goaltenders will be the most affected as the width of their pads would be reduced from 12 inches to 10 inches — where the pads were before 1989 — and they no longer be able to go behind the goal line to play the puck. Most couldn't remember a time when suggested changes weren't supported. Scoring has dropped by 25 "We now have to go back and take the package and flush it out, make sure we haven't omitted anything or need to clarify something." Bettman said. goals per game in the last 15 years to an average of five per game. Most of the changes would take effect by next season, unless a work stoppage occurs after the collective bargaining agreement expires Sept. 15. The general managers plan to meet again within the next two months for further discussion on the rule changes. The group came up with several adjustments that could become rules once they are discussed and voted on by a panel of hockey experts. Steve Lower, president of Hardbodies Entertainment Inc. in Denver, said athletes at Colorado and universities around the country have been paying strippers to entertain recruits for years. Lower said students or athletes at the University of Houston, Rice University, University of Northern Colorado and Colorado State University also have hired his dancers. The Associated Press DENVER — Already mired in a scandal that includes rape allegations, the University of Colorado suffered another blow yesterday when an adult entertainment company confirmed that football players hired strippers for recruiting parties as recently as two weeks ago. "Yes, these have been our girls doing it, and no, the college has absolutely not paid for it, condoned it or been aware of it," he said. "It's a tradition, like throwing a bachelor party," he said. Officials at most of the schools did not return calls seeking comment. ment: "Ifthis is true, it is a violation of what we teach them and tell them," Colorado football coach Gary Barnett said. Houston athletic director Dave Maggard said he and football coach Art Briles were not aware of any strip parties. Earlier this month, St. John's University suspended five basketball players for breaking curfew to go to a strip club. University of Minnesota officials are investigating whether high school football recruits visited bars and a strip club during a visit in December. According to National Collegiate Athletic Association rules, a school "may not arrange or permit excessive entertainment," though it is unclear what constitutes excessive. The NCAA is convening a "If this is true, it is a violation of what we teach them and tell them." Gary Barnett Colorado football coach panel this spring to discuss recruiting problems. Colorado was plunged into scandal last week with the disclosure of allegations that it uses sex and women to entice recruits. The claim was made by Boulder County District Attorney Mary Keenan in one of three federal lawsuits filed by women who say they were raped at an off-campus party in Dec. 2001 which was attended by Colorado players and recruits. Last week, police said they were also investigating whether Colorado football players hired prostitutes from an escort service. University officials have denied the school uses sex parties as a recruiting tool. Last week, Barnett suspended four players, including one for taking a recruit to a strip club. The Board of Regents has ordered a special commission to investigate and prepare a report by April 30. Regent Jim Martin, who has been critical of how university administrators have handled the scandal, said investigators should find out where the money to pay for the strippers came from. Colorado players testified in depositions that they get $30 from athletic department officials to host recruits. Lower said it costs $250 for two strippers to dance for an hour. supplies to the team. "It is usually paid for by friends of the players," said Lower, who spoke first with the Rocky Mountain News. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The student voice. Every day. Blind Date: Kansan Style.

His teammates didn't ignore him, and he was still included in team activities, but the role of star and injured star were vastly different. “When you're injured,” Whittemore said “You kind of feel like you're out there on your own.” And that's what's painful, he said. Now Johnson meets John Fumagalli and Botts in the training room daily for an hour of exercise with light weights and giant rubber bands. Fumagalli, also a pitcher, is recovering from surgery to repair an injured rotator cuff. Johnson and Fumagalli will be teammates on the field next season, and, maybe more importantly, they're teammates now when the rest of the Jahawks travel to out-of-town games, leaving them home to watch movies. Recently, they have been joined by Jake Kauzlarich. The senior catcher had the same surgery as Johnson, commonly known as Tommy John surgery, and is a welcome addition to the club that each member would love to leave. Johnson is the closest. Megan True/Kansan Johnson knows the feeling. As the Jayhawks' top relief pitcher last season Johnson was integral part of the Kansas baseball team. He earned the nickname "The Fireman" for his ability to "put out" opponents' hot bats and was a fan favorite. But his powerful right arm hurt all the time. It had hurt since pitching too many days on too little rest during the postseason at Hutchison Community College in 2002. Johnson dealt with daily rehabilitation, but ultimately doctors told him he could have surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow, or rest for a season and hope it healed on its own. Either way he would sit out his senior season as a medical redshirt. He didn't throw a ball for two months before having the surgery in late October. John Fumagalli, senior baseball pitcher, took a quick break from his reh exercise Feb. 3 in the Dean Nesmith Training Facility. Fumagalli is recovering from surgery that repaired an injured rotator cuff. "I throw today," he tells anyone who might want to know. Only Fumagalli and Kauzlarich really understand. Each throw sails easily to Botts, and Johnson tries to control his excitement. When practice arrives, Johnson's eyes dart around nervously, and he asks his trainer and catch partner Botts how he is supposed to do this. He says he remembers pitching entire imaginary games of the World Series against his house when he was 10 years old, but this is different. A setback now would mean re-starting a 12-month recovery process. "It felt great," he said, a little embarrassed to be so thrilled while his teammates are all around him, launching baseballs five times as far. Across the indoor field at Anschutz Pavilion, Kauzlarich is standing with one arm in a brace at a 45-degree angle, the other has a baseball glove at the end. He's still months behind Johnson, and eager to field anything that comes near him, even if he can't throw it in. "I'm still useful," he said. "I still have a use." —Edited by Stephanie Lovett BASKETBALL: Kansas women excited to play Wildcats at home CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B Lynette Woodard, interim coach, said she thought players would respond better this year. well, a statistic that has plagued the team throughout the season "Everyone's excited about the game. The players are hyped. They've been talking about this game for a long time," Woodard said. "Hopefully our fans will rally around us." In games that they are outrebounded this season, the Jayhawks have struggled. In Saturday's 48-59 loss to Nebraska, for example, Kansas was out rebounded 52-37. The team was without its leading rebounder, freshman forward Lauren Ervin. Ervin was serving a one-game suspension for violating team policy. When the Jayhawks were in Manhattan earlier this year, K-State held Kansas to 31 percent shooting from the field, while they shot about 50 percent. Kansas was out-rebounded as Another key statistic tonight will be turnovers. In its last meeting against the K-State, Kansas committed 16 turnovers. Though not a season high, that tally was double that of the Wildcats. Though rankings, and recent history, would appear to favor K-State. Woodard said she believed a victory would be possible tonight. "This is a chance for us to knock off one of the premiere teams in the country," she said. "We've got to attack, and we should do pretty well," Woodard said. When the season started, media pundits had predicted that Kansas would knock off at least one Top 25 team. With only two games left against a currently ranked opponents (Kansas State and No. 12 Colorado) the Jayhawks are running out of chances to pull off an upset. Ervin set to return Freshman Lauren Ervin served a one-game suspension handed out by interim coach Lynette Woodard and should return to action tonight. Woodard suspended the freshman from Inglewood, Calif., for violating unspecified team rules. Edited by Paul Kramer WANT YOUR MEAL PLAN TO WORK EVERYWHERE ON CAMPUS?

PICK UP YOUR KANSAN INSEKTS. dB the university daily kansan entertainment wednesday, february 11. 2004 Cartoon draws kids,parents alike The Associated Press DETROIT — The Fairly Odd- Parents is the second-highest rated program in America for viewers 2 to 11 years old. But kids make up only 60 percent of the 3.8 million audience. The Fathly OddParents, like the even bigger Nickelodeon cartoon hit, SpongeBob Squarepants, is nearly as popular with teenagers and adults as it is with children. And that's by design. "The show is for kids, but we write what we like," said series creator Butch Hartman. "We write stories that we like and hope the kids like them too. But we definitely make sure that they skew toward a kid audience." The Fairly OddParents follows the adventures of 10-year-old Timmy Turner and his wacky fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda. They grant Timmy's wishes but don't always get them exactyright. With a premise like that, it's no wonder kids have taken to the show. But the verbal give-and-take and sharp stories are what keep the parents tuning in. "I think it's one of the great indicators of smart writing and great character development when adults come as well as kids," said Cyma Zarghami, president of Nickelodeon Television. Take for example the episode in which Timmy wishes he could be older. Wanda and Cosmo transform him into an adult, but he's bald, his back hurts and he has no job. When he tries to help an old lady across the street, the woman is less than thrilled. "When you're a kid, helping an old lady across the street is kind of cute. But when you're an adult, it's just plain creepy." Hartman said. In another episode, Timmy wishes he is invisible so he can hide from a bully. But on the day he's made invisible, he's unable to receive his perfect attendance award at school. "The Nickelodeon approach which is a smart one — is to not only appeal to the kids, but to the whiny, smart-alek adolescents those kids will become as well as the parents," said Robert Thompson, head of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Svacruce University. The show, which trails only SpongeBob among all broadcast and cable children's programs, is Hartman's brainchild. Hartman joined Hanna-Barbera in the 1990s. There he wrote and directed episodes of the Cartoon Network series Dexter's Laboratory, Cow & Chicken and Johnny Bravo. A Fairly OddParents special will air Monday on Nickelodeon at 7 p.m. 'Star Wars' DVD release set for fall The Associated Press LOS ANGELES -- Star Wars fans will finally get the Force-feeding they've been asking for. The original three Star Wars films will be released in digital format Sept. 21 in North America, LucasFilm Ltd. and 20th Century Fox announced yesterday. The original Star Wars movie from 1977 — now titled Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope because of the newer prequels — will be compiled in a four-disc collection along with the follow-ups The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the ledi. Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace debuted in 1999, followed by Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones in 2002.

Dana Evans, Facilities Operations employee, shovelled snow outside Dyche Hall last Thursday. Evans said it was hard to keep up with the snowfall. In response to weather forecasts, Facilities Operations pretreats main walkways with "ice slicer." The solution helps prevent the accumulation of ice. But when snow falls and the "ice slicer" has already been distributed, the water from the snow melt washes the solution away. This can lead to the formation of ice. Another problem is the expense of the "ice slicer": $100 per ton. And Facilities Operations has already ordered 78 tons. By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Students at the University of Kansas received a treat when classes were cancelled last Thursday. But while they went home for an afternoon of freedom, students might not have realized the storm cost the University thousands of dollars. Mike Lang, Facilities Operations landscape manager, said the use of "ice slicer" meant ice storms often cost more for the Department than snowfall. The Department of Facilities Operations scrambled around campus to try to remove snow from walkways and streets. It was the latest in what has been a tough and expensive winter. Facilities Operations associate director of information management Steve Green said the Department had spent $141,000 for the 2003-04 season. That means the costs have already surpassed the previous three-year average of $135,000 per season. the Department combats snow storms with rock salt and sand, which costs $2 to $3 a ton — substantially less than "ice slicer."

After several complaints, the radio station 96.5 The Buzz has been removed from the selection of radio stations that may be played at the center, director of Recreation Services Mary Chappell said. "Supervisors have made discretionary changes because there's been enough complaints about it," Chappell said. Chappell said that the station was removed because of offensive content between the songs. She said that the commentary was degrading to several groups. The center plays 105.9 The Lazer, 98.9 The Rock and 99.7 KY. Chappell said that they were considering playing Student-run 90.7 KJK, although it has not been played yet. When the center opened, a survey of students was taken to determine which radio stations to play. Initially, The Buzz was at the top of the list and very few students requested KJHK. The removal of The Buzz has created a sort of buzz among some students. Stacy Fagan, Wellington senior, said she thought that taking the station off the playlist was the wrong thing to do and that The Buzz played the type of music the majority of KU students listened to. "If someone's against the stations they play, they should bring a Walkman and listen to that." Fagan said. Chappell said that there was the option for students to bring personal sound systems to listen to. "All of those stations kind of blend together after a while anyway," said Josh Atkinson, Kansas City, Kan., senior. The center has 44 sound zones in which volume can be altered by users but not station selection. All sound zones must also be on the same station. Atkinson said that he was disappointed that the center did not play KJHK more often. A staff of mostly students operate the main control board that dictates which stations are played. "I want to hear the local stuff," Atkinson said. The only locations in the center in which the music selection can be independent of the others are the gymnasium and the aerobics room. Chappell said those areas could be altered because the purposes of the rooms demanded it. Chappell said that the sound system in the center was still new and that the kinks were being worked out. Chappell said that two alternatives that the center was considering to resolve the radio station issue were to turn the music off altogether or to switch to CDs for users' music needs. - Edited by Ashley Arnold Chappell said that students with concerns about the variety of music at the center could voice their opinions in the suggestion box.

Kit Leffter/Kansa Candidate announced for dean By Rupl Gor rgor@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Will Norton, Jr., dean and professor at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, will visit the University Feb. 15 to Feb. 17, to meet with faculty and students as well as tour the campus and journalism school. The position is open because James K. Gentry, dean of Journalism, will leave his position at the end of the academic year. He will step down from his position but will continue to teach at the University. Norton has been a visible and successful candidate, said Susanne Shaw, professor of journalism and chairwoman of the dean search committee. Norton is qualified because he shows leadership and has been an outstanding fundraiser at the University of Nebraska, she said. During Norton's time as dean, the endowment greatly increased. An annual phone drive that began in 1991 grew from bringing in $3,000 a year to about $30,000. Norton is excited to be a candidate for the dean position. "The William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications has a great tradition, excellent students, a fine faculty and exceptional media connections." Norton said. Norton was a professor at the University of Mississippi from 1974 until 1990. He received his bachelor of arts in history at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Ill., and his masters of journalism at Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind. The dean search committee members agreed Norton was the strongest candidate for the position. "He was the unanimous choice of the committee." Shaw said. The committee will meet with Norton for dinner on Sunday. The following days he is scheduled to meet with journalism faculty. Students are invited to meet with Norton 3 p.m. Monday. Before his 14 years as dean of journalism at Nebraska, Norton had experience working in the media. He was the managing editor at The Daily Iowan in Iowa City, Iowa, and sports copy editor at the Chicago Tribune. These were among many other positions he held in his journalistic career. Norton is a national leader in journalism, said Mary Wallace, assistant to the KU journalism dean. He has an outstanding record as leader of journalism councils, such as the president of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communications and a board member of the Freedom Forum. Wallace, who is on the dean search council, met Norton a couple years ago. She said people always have good things to say about him. "He has an excellent reputation across the country as a leader in journalism education," Wallace said. Edited by Ashley Arnold Bar-hopping party bus not hopping yet, ridership low By Dave Nobles nobles@kansan.com Kansas staff writer A new bus service is taking the leg work out of pub crawls, but nobody knows about it. The service, called Bar Hop, is operated by Midwest Transportation Corporation. Two buses run the route, which caters to 24 different bars and nine housing areas. The full route takes about 95 minutes and the buses run about 45 minutes apart en route to various bars, residence halls and apartment complexes. The route stretches from about New Hampshire to Iowa streets and Sixth to 23rd streets. Bar Hop started carting around bargoos Jan. 29. The only way to get a feel for how the system works was to climb on one of the buses myself, and that's what I did Saturday night. I ventured to Rick's Place, 623 Vermont St., first to catch up with one of the buses. "Taking me to more bars?" Utt said. "Hell wea!!" Bar Hop does not just cater to the student population. Anyone with a dollar bill can hop into the belly of one of the steel beasts. Joe Wilk, Overland Park junior, said he thought that Bar Hop would prevent people from driving drunk. "It's a good, cheap way to get people home." Wilk said. Wilk works at It's Brothers Bar and Grill, 1105 Massachusetts St. He said he noticed people using the service, but only late at night. It wasn't long before the bus showed Dave Old, manager of Bar Hop and Midwest Transportation, was driving the bus. Old said even though patrons could bring their own alcohol on the bus, ridership had been low ever since the service began. up in front of Rick's Place, so I grabbed my coat and hopped on. The bus was completely empty, except for Jay Helms, who was the door watcher. "So far, we haven't filled it up," Old said. "It's only been a handful, but we have to build into it." Old attributed the low-ridership to the lack of advertising. Old said eventually there would be two or more buses and an option for P 10 SEE BUS ON 9A A in other words "I think just looking at what she's been through and what she represents, that sort of stood for itself."

Anna Clovis STATE House committee considers same-sex marriage ban TOPEKA — Dozens of spectators packed a House committee hearing yesterday to show support for amending the Kansas Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. Proponents say Kansas needs an amendment declaring that marriage exists only between one man and one woman because courts could strike down the state's 1996 statute that asserts the same policy. The proposed amendment would be put to Kansas voters if two-thirds of the House and Senate approve. The Kansas effort was sparked by last November's ruling by Massachusetts' highest court declaring that state's marriage statute unconstitutional. If it reaches a statewide ballot, the amendment would need approval by a simple majority to become part of the Kansas Constitution. Four states already ban same-sex marriage in their constitutions, and proposed amendments are being considered in Massachusetts and at least 13 other states. Life without parole option put before Senate panel The Associated Press TOPEKA — A Senate panel heard testimony yesterday in support of a bill that would give juries the option of recommending life without possibility of parole in death penalty cases. Kansas is among 38 states that have some form of death penalty, but one of just three that does not have the option of life in prison without parole. Currently, the state's stiftest sentence short of the death penalty is 50 years in prison without parole, the so-called "hard 50" sentence. The bill before the Senate Judiciary Committee was drafted from recommendations offered by a study committee that looked at the cost of the death penalty. Handy Hearrell, executive director of the Kansas Judicial Council, said a life without parole option could save the state between $400,000 and $500,000 per capital murder trial. He said due-process mandates from the U.S. Supreme Court account for most of the additional costs of death penalty cases. The Associated Press Al Qaeda suspect allowed to have access to attorney NATION WASHINGTON — An American citizen held incommunicado by the military for more than a year as an alleged Al Qaeda supporter will be allowed to see a lawyer, the Pentagon said yesterday. Jose Padilla, who the government says plotted to detonate a radioactive dirty bomb in the United States, is being held at a U.S. Navy brig in Charleston, S.C. No meeting has been scheduled. In a statement, the Pentagon said that providing Padilla access to an attorney would not compromise national security or interfere with efforts to use him as an intelligence source. Padilla's attorneys have challenged the government's right to hold him indefinitely, without charges or trial, as a violation of his rights as a U.S. citizen. The government, meanwhile, calls him an enemy combatant who can be held for the duration of the war on terrorism. Still, the Pentagon maintained it was not required to let him speak with a lawyer. The Bush administration lost the case in federal court and wants the Supreme Court to step in. In December, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 ruling, ordered Padilla released from military custody unless the government charges him. That ruling is on hold while the Supreme Court considers taking the case. A decision may come as early as this month.

An unofficial initiative that began two years ago urged people to wear red and blue every Friday to help support the University. It had limited success at first then faded away, Angie Carr, director of greek life, said. Now, a campaign looks to resurrect this program. The Center for Student Life has begun putting out fliers in an effort to re-publicize the day. But the hues of inspiration have faded. "I think it has lost some of its The idea originally began about two years ago to help show spirit during the fall when athletic events were more scarce, Carr said. It was also a way to show off the University's distinctive blue color, which wasn't found anywhere else in the Big 12 conference. oomph," said Carr, who was one of the creative forces behind the campaign. Danny Kaiser, director of the Center for Student Life, said the program was an easy way to promote the last class day before a football game. When students and, mainly, faculty and staff did take part in the Red and Blue day, people found ways to show the spirit with the colors and also prominently wear the Jayhawk logo, Kaiser said. Those in the maze and blue might be seen in the maze of offices near the Center for Campus Life, which is in the Kansas Union on Level four. Though some said that the color day might help school spirit, Katey Birge, Denver sophomore, said she would experience it with a sense of deia-vu. Lisa Brunette, Monterrey Calif, sophomore, works in the Habitat for Humanity office that is also on Level four. "I think it will go over pretty well," Birge said. "But I think it's kinda high schoolish." Susan Henry, Fort Scott junior, said she saw another advantage in showing University pride. Henry, a receptionist at the Center for Campus Life, said it would be a good way to support the school without inflaming conflict in the midst of already heated rivalries such as shirts such as "Muck Fizzou" might. After much brainstorming and former success this has a great chance of unifying the campus, Carr said. Whether Red and Blue day will come back again is yet to be seen, but students might have an easier time choosing their clothes come Fridays. "It would be fun to see how many people did it," Brunnete said. Edited by Guillaume Doane New bill reopens polling site question By Andy Marso amarso@kansan.com Kansan staff writer After nearly four hours of debate last week, it seemed as if Student Senate had finalized the location of voting sites for the spring elections. However, a new bill that passed last night in committee to expand the number of poling sites will extend the debate one more week. The full Senate will vote on the bill next Wednesday night. A separate bill, which passed in last week's Senate meeting, provided for polliting sites at Mrs. E's, Wescoe Beach, GSP-Corbin Hall and the Student Fitness Restoration Center; in addition to online voting from non-residential computer labs on campus. Kristen Seibel, Association of University Residence Halls senator, authored last night's bill which would include computers in academic resource centers at the residence halls and Jayhawkower Towers as voting sites. "I think it's going to help turnout," Seibel said. "The more places you provide, the more you will increase voter turnout just because of access." Some senators raised questions about the possibility of voter fraud in the academic resource centers. Marynell Jones, freshman and sophomore CLAS senator, said there would be less oversight in the academic resource centers as opposed to on-campus computer labs such as the one in Budig Hall, which would be easier for the Elections Commission to monitor. Seibel said that fraud wouldn't be an issue because the academic resource centers were staffed by student employees. She said that the Department of Student Housing would send out a memo to inform those employees of election policies. Some senators thought the bill was unfair because it excluded scholarship hall computer labs, which are unstaffed, but are less accessible because the scholarship halls are often locked to nonresidents. "The distinction between residence halls and scholarship halls is improper," Luke Thompson, freshman senator, said. "Both are on campus and while one may be monitored by untrained personnel, the other is monitored by a door code."

Andy Marso Thompson said that even if the bill included scholarship halls he still probably wouldn't have supported it. He said his ideal plan would have voting only at polling sites at Mrs. E's, the Recreation Center and Wescoe. "All three offer reasonable proximity to residence halls." Thompson said, "and it would guarantee that everyone at least had the same opportunity." Seibel said her bill was fair because students who lived in residence halls often went home between classes and wouldn't have as much free time to vote from polling sites or non-residential computer labs. Tara Schupner,Lenexa junior and resident of the Jayhawker Towers, said she would be more likely to vote if she could do it from the Towers' academic resource center. Schupner said that she had a busy schedule during the day and that she would have more time to vote when she went home at night. She added that she didn't think being able to vote from the academic resource centers would be unfair to students who lived outside the residence halls. "I don't think the issue is an unfair advantage." Schupner said. "The issue is that if you want a democratic system you want as many people to vote as possible." — Edited by Paul Kramer Budget cuts will not cost students a dime By Anna Clous and Ron Knox editor@kansan.com Kansan staff writers Editor's note: Because of a production error in yesterday's The University Daily Kansan, "State budget woes" is running below in its entirety. But it won't come out of students'ockets — vet. Cuts in the University of Kansas budget for next year will snatch money from the coffers of student housing, parking and Student Senate. After Gov. Kathleen Sebelius announced her budget proposal Jan. 19, provosts feared that cuts to fee-based programs — programs students pay for — would force them to raise student fees next year. Other fee-based programs include Continuing Education, Recreation Services and services at Watkins Memorial Heath Center. The housing department would have used the money saved for maintenance on residence hall boilers and roofs that required attention this summer, Stoner said. If the cuts last only one year, fee-based programs such as housing will use money set aside for necessary maintenance to cover the deficit, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing. Stoner said using saved money would help maintain student fees near their current level, but if next year's budget requires housing to cut more money, student fees will most likely increase. The budget cuts are a result of Sebelius' mandate to raise state employee's pay by 3 percent next year, which, along with other pay increases, will cost the University more than $9 million. The pay raise resulted in a $7.7 million shortfall, some of The budget cuts are a result of Sebelius' mandate to raise state employee's pay by 3 percent next year, which, along with other pay increases, will cost the University more than $9 million. which will be cut from feebased and other University programs. University programs will pay for the deficit from saved money set aside for projects or needs, Lindy Eakin, vice provost, said. Eakin said this was not an unprecedented act. He said the money paid this year would come back to the University next year through a budget increase unless budget troubles continue. A portion of student fees is set aside for maintenance, Stoner said. Budget cuts forced housing to lose almost $350,000 from its operating budget, while parking, another fee-based program, lost nearly $19,000. Fee-based programs aren't alone. Student Senate will loose $8,318 from its budget next year. Linda Mullins, vice provost, said Student Senate had not decided where the money would come from. Senate passed a resolution about Sebelius' budget proposal Feb. 4, saying it supported the budget but opposed her methods, namely the possibility that the University will rely on student fees. The resolution called Sebelius' increase in employee salaries an unfunded mandate, and asked the Legislature to block future budgets that use students' tuition and fees for other purposes.

OUR VIEW At the end of last semester, Student Recreational Services made the decision to stop playing the Kansas City-based alternative radio sta Student Recreational Services should not have contol over which radio stations students listen to while they are in the Student Fitness Recreation Center. We are adults. Recreation Services should not presume to tell us what is inappropriate to listen to. And if it is actually so shocking, why is it tion because of numerous complaints received about its inappropriate content. In doing so Recreational Services has made a large misstep into the role as a gatekeeper for students, a move which is both unwarranted and unwanted. It grossly underestimates the maturity level of those who use the Recreation Center. OK, so let me play at the rec center. Well kids, we found that certain programs on that station just didn't quite correlate with the university's strong sense of moral background, high standards, and intense ethical values. And gosh darn it, some of the stuff they had on there was just plain inappropriate! Inappropriate? C'mon, this is college! Pretty much all my spare time is devoted to alcohol, drugs, or trying to get laid! Ha ha! That's cute, I love a kid with a sense of humor. Now.. go show that elliptical who's boss! deemed fit to air on the radio in the first place? It is misguided and naive to think that by not playing a certain station, recreation services can shelter us from things we are exposed to every day. Some of the complaints stemmed from the fact that high school students tour the facilities with their families, said Mary Chappell, director of Recreation Services. The programming on 96.5 FM was said to make a bad impression on these young visitors. People who are concerned about a radio station making such a negative impact on prospective students should open their eyes to the reality of our society. There is no expectation that the rec center will be able to play music that everyone can agree on entirely. People have specific and varied tastes when it comes to music. What we can expect though, is for Recreation Services to respect KU students enough to treat us like adults. College students listen to 96.5 FM and it should be as equally represented at the Recreation Center as any other station. PERSPECTIVE Country's conflicts breed tolerance, understanding Before I left for Europe last spring, I thought I was educated about the international situation. GUEST COMMENTARY I was an international studies major. I read the papers and knew what was happening in Europe. I closely followed interactions between the United States and the rest of the Western world, which to me were the only international actors that mattered. Leslie Kimmel opinion@kansan.com On a Humanities and Western Civilization study abroad program, I found myself living in Italy and later France. Here I was, in the cultural capitals of the Western world, and I honestly believed that I was gaining all of the international knowledge I would ever need as an American. At this time, tensions were escalating between the United States and Western Europe. But let me point out that these were political tensions, not personal tensions. I was living in Paris when the "freedom fries" epidemic broke out in America. Americans became opposed to anything French because of the political situation. Suddenly, my inbox was overloaded with e-mails from friends and family who were worried about my well-being. Some were afraid that I was being verbally harassed while others were afraid that I was in physical danger. Let me just say this once — I felt virtually no fear while I was abroad. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. The American reaction to my presence abroad taught me that there was a lot of cultural learning that needed to be going on between the United States and the rest of the world, and even though I was culturally aware, I still had a lot to learn. I am happy that I had the opportunity to live abroad during times of international conflict. Any American has the option to travel abroad during time of peace, but who has the opportunity to do so when conflict is arising and new ideas are being exchanged? The answer is those who take advantage of the time and place. I was able to gain a completely different world perspective while abroad, something that my American counterparts, who did not travel during this time, do not share with me. I understand that French relations with America aren't really as horrific as U.S. media like to make out. I was forced to understand the viewpoints of Europeans I met instead of just being forced to read an article or two for a class. Take advantage of being able to capture a piece of history. Travel in times when there is some knowledge to be gained that can't be found within the borders of the United States. While safety is always an issue, in most parts of the traveled world it isn't as much of an issue as some would like to make out. I am living testimony. The Office of Study Abroad and other cultural organizations such as AIESEC are excellent ways for students to take advantage of this timely opportunity. With chapters in more than 85 nations, AIESEC is a global organization which is here for students and recent graduates to find internships or work in non-profit organizations abroad. AIESEC has a Salaam Exchange program, which is in place to help aid understanding between the United States and traditionally Arab countries in Northern Africa, and will hold information sessions at 7:30 tonight at room 426 in Summerfield Hall for students wishing to work abroad. These organizations are in place for students to break through cultural barriers and understand their place in the world. Studying abroad in a time of conflict is the best way to understand a culture. I spent three days in an Italian hospital, and my views on health care are changed for life.I spent months in Europe,and my views on American and European mentality will never be the same. Just imagine how viewpoints of thousands of Americans could change if they were not afraid of seeing the rest of the world. Kimmel is a Newton junior in journalism and international studies. WAKE UP! Hip-hop culture here to stay, more than fad Hip-hop/rap and the hip-hop/rap culture are here to stay. The art form has come a very long way since Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight." Their song was the first ever rap song to break into the top 40 charts and rap has enjoyed continued success to this day. Three of the top 10 albums on the Billboard's Top 200 list are rap records. Rap artist Twista's album Kamikaze debuted at the No.1 spot this week and Outkast is number two. Outkast has sold more than eight million copies of their Speakerboxx/Love Below album. Rap has been in the mainstream for more than 20 years, and it would appear that the culture is more than just a fad. COMMENTARY --- First of all, I would like to congratulate hip-hop duo Outkast, for receiving the coveted "Album of the Year" award at this years Grammys. This is a monumental accomplishment that could not have come at a better time for rap music. Despite all of the advertisements that use hip-hop and all of the multi-platinum record sales rap artists enjoy, pundits such as Bill O'Reilly, host of The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News, constantly attack rap's culture and blame many societal ills on the art form. What Bill Brandon Cobb opinion@kansan.com Whether critics like it or not, rappers are viewed as role models to young kids. I do not see anything wrong with children looking up to rappers such as Sean "P.Diddy" Combs and Jay-Z. They are excellent examples of achieving the American dream. Jay-Z grew up in Marcy Housing Projects in Brooklyn, N.Y., partaking in the negative activity of his surroundings. But he rose above the adversity to own a record label (Roc-a-fella Records) and clothing line (Rocawear). Now he is part of a team of investors who recently bought the New O'Reilly and other critics fail to realize is that rappers make songs about their surroundings. If it were not for rap, many of the artists would be participating in the illegal activities that they rap about. Jersey Nets with plans to move the franchise to Brooklyn. P. Diddy lost his father at age three and grew up in a single-parent home like many children in America. He now owns a successful record label (Bad Boy), an internationally renowned clothing line (Sean John) and a magazine (Notorious). Seldom do the media focus on the positives of rap music. There are rappers who use their fame and wealth to provide economic and educational opportunities for the less fortunate in their communities. Last year, Combs hosted a marathon called "Diddy Runs the City" that raised $2 million for New York public schools. Too often critics get caught up in the morality and negatives of rappers lyrics. True, some rappers use language that may offend people, but it is their First Amendment right to freely express themselves. I never understood how opponents of rap music only focus on the negatives of the genre because they do not agree with its content. The solution is simple—do not listen to rap if it offends you. Instead they should emphasize rappers coming from areas in poverty to become upstanding citizens and making a decent living for themselves. Rap is creating young minority entrepreneurs, something this country greatly needs. Companies, from Pepsi to McDonald's, use the hip-hop culture to sell their products. Car companies were not putting TVs and DVD players in their vehicles until rappers made it cool. Rap record label Cash Money Records made a song called "Bling Bling" and now the term is in the Oxford English Dictionary. Even commercials use Snoop Dogg's "shizzle" language to sell products (i.e. Old Navy, AOL). Listening to rap has greatly affected my life in a positive manner, and I find myself as a senior in college looking up to the likes of PDiddy and Jay-Z. They are only 34 years old and own empires worth millions of dollars. That is definitely a goal to shoot for in the future. The rap/hip-hop culture is more than just scantily clothed women dancing in videos, bling-bling, glorified violence and foul language. It is a creative movement that gives a voice to many, a profit-making machine and possibly the most influential culture to hit the United States in the past 25 years.

Every week, Kansan staff writer Samia Khan tells the story of a randomly selected KU student. Erin Leary calls herself lazy and unmotivated, but give her a few minutes and she'll tell you about training for the Boston Marathon. "Running a marathon is something I never thought I'd do before I got to college," Leary said. "It's sort of out of character for me." The Lenexa junior ran the Chicago Marathon in October 2002. She qualified to run the Boston Marathon in April and began training for the 26 mile, 385 yard race a month ago. Kane, Lenexa graduate student, said Leary never really took the idea of a marathon seriously when he started talking about it, but he continued to mention it to her. Eventually he told Leary that he signed both of them up to run in the Chicago Marathon. Leary didn't object, just as he thought. She started running for fun with a friend during her freshman year. Vince Kane has been Leary's running partner for almost three years. She participated in the Chicago marathon with Kane at his urging. "I don't know how he convinced me to do it, but I would have never been able to do all of this without him," she said. "I knew she'd do it and wanted to do it. I just had to trick her into it." Kane said. "I knew she'd do it and wanted to do it. I just had to trick her into it." Lenexa graduate student At first, Leary never ran by herself. She is training on her own now and also will participate in the Boston Marathon alone. Kane, who continues to run with Leary occasionally, made a running schedule for Leary to keep her focused for the Boston Marathon. Leary said running in Boston would be an accomplishment she could put a greater personal stake in. She was not the type to do things on her own unless someone forces her, she said. For several months after the Chicago marathon she stopped running until it came time to training for Boston. NIRSA Leary uses her lazy disposition as an example that almost anyone can run a marathon. "I'm not this awesome runner. I do it sporadically," she said. "You just have to want to do it." Running and training for the marathon allows Leary to stay focused on other aspects of her life. Leary said she had trouble staying motivated in school last semester when she wasn't running. Her training schedule allows her to budget her time and feel good about staying active. "It kicks me in the butt and helps me get going," she said. "I'm more likely to do other things instead of lying around all day and taking seven naps like I'd usually want to do." — Edited by Louise Stauffer Annie Bernethy Kansan Erin Leary, Lenexa junior, trained for the Boston Marathon, a 26 mile, 385 yard race, every day.

Annie Bernethy/Kansan Clark resigns candidacy The Associated Press LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Wesley Clark, unable to command significant support as a first-time presidential candidate, dropped out of the race for the White House yesterday. With his withdrawal went words of praise for his remaining rivals — the front-runner, Sen. John Kerry, as well as Sen. John Edwards and former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean. "They're good men, they're good Democrats and they're good patriots," said Clark, who decided to quit after finishing third behind Kerry and Edwards in Democratic primaries Tuesday in Virginia and Tennessee. Clark, a 59-year-old career military man, burst onto the campaign last fall, supplanting his more experienced and better-known rivals at the top of the polls and demonstrating significant fund-raising ability. But his political inexperience showed — he changed his position on the war with Iraq within days of announcing his candidacy, and was constantly refining his position on abortion. Clark wrestled with the decision to end his campaign as election returns rolled in Tuesday night, with advisers urging him to quit and his family pushing him to continue. Aides said Clark would remain active in the campaign by stumping for Democrats in the South and other swing states, and serving as an adviser on national security issues.

INTERVIEWS WILL BEGIN MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16TH. 1 6A the university daily kansan news thursday, february 12, 2004 Military officers discuss media By Marc Ingber mingber@kansan.com Kansan staff writer International military officers from 77 different countries attended a program yesterday at the University of Kansas that explored the First Amendment and the role of free media in a democracy. The officers were visiting from Fort Leavenworth, where they attend the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. The program — coordinated by Thomas Volek and Robert Basow, associate professors of journalism — included guest speakers and panels that discussed topics related to the media. One of the main issues brought up during the program was the idea of newspapers and other media run as businesses as opposed to news sources unaffected by money. Basow said that media outlets must still be able to profit. "There is nothing free about free media," he told the audience. One of the problems facing media in this country is that the rise of cable news and the media's dependence on advertising has caused diminishing amounts of actual news content, said guest speaker George Newton, an independent public relations consultant and retired military officer. "In this country, there is a little bit of news and a lot of entertainment," he said. The issues that Newton talked about were new concepts to some of the officers visiting from other countries. Maj. Magnus Lindström of Sweden said one of the most interesting things he learned was the connection between money and the news and how it can affect good reporting. "I don't agree that it's good to make business out of news," he said. Guest speaker Malcolm Gibson, faculty general manager of The University Daily Kansan and assistant professor of journalism, said he made sure the paper stayed away from pitfalls like that. "There is a tradition here that there is a news-gathering part of the industry and a business-gathering part," he said. Another issue discussed at the program was political bias in the media. Norton fielded questions about the media's ability to remain objective when dealing with controversial subjects, such as the war in Iraq. He said that although some journalists tried to push their own political agendas, others remained committed to doing a fair and balanced job. —Edited by Robert Perkins 1984 Major Mgisa L.

Mitchum jmitchum@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Annan Hormet Tucked away behind the pipes and cooling towers of the abandoned Farmland plant at the eastern edge of Lawrence rests a patch of soil contaminated with an infamous chemical that made one Lawrence woman famous. Farmland's abandoned plant, east of Lawrence, waits for cleanup and restoration of land because of harmful chemicals being used on the site in the '90s. The site is just two miles from KU property. Hexavalent chromium, the deadly carcinogen that made Erin Brockovich famous in her self-titled movie, lurks within two miles of the University of Kansas campus, right above the Kansas aquifer. "Anytime you are dealing with a chemical that is a known poison that's in ground water that could reach a human being, no level is acceptable, and I know industry hates to hear that." Brockovich-Ellis said. Kamyar Manesh, manager of Farmland's corporate environment division, knows there are problems but doesn't think the issues are that large. "There is a lot of scare going on that this is a bad place," Manesh said. The 1995 well samples from Farmland and nearby farms indicated chromium levels of 1090 milligrams per liter (mg/L). This level is a fraction above maximum contamination level, or MCL, of 1000 mg/L for drinking water, Hardand which is set by the Safe Drinking Water Act. Farmland, east of Lawrence, uses waste pools to store contamination that is filtered out of water from the aquifer underneath it. When Brockovich-Ellis researched the case documented in her movie, residential wells had significantly higher chromium levels than those found in Farmland samples. Wells in California had levels of 20,000 to 24,000 mg/L, well more than 1,000 times the amount at the Farmland plant when samples were taken more than eight years ago. Chromium hasn't been used in the cooling towers since 1988. Beyond the chromium debate, what really frightens city officials, Farmland and would-be buyers is a chemical soup of nitrate and nitrite. When the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, studied the sight in 1995, results showed ground water levels of 1,810-mg/L nitrate — more than 180 times the Federal recommended safe level. The Safe Drinking Water sets current accepted values at $10\mathrm{mg / L}$ for nitrates and $1\mathrm{mg / L}$ for nitrite. Nitrate and nitrite are commonly found in nature and, in fact, are necessary to sustain life, but excess exposure to nitrates or nitrites can cause blue baby syndrome if ingested by young infants. Farmland and KDHE generated a plan to help bring the Farmland site within federal and state guidelines. The plan, called the Corrective Action Decision, was create to keep the plant operating for many more years to come, said Kurt Limesand, unit chief of environmental remediation at KDHE. Limesand and Manesh see no reason why the industrial portion of the site could not be used for other industry within a relatively short period of time. Another idea for the Farmland site is to convert it into a business park or limited extension to the 4- H fairgrounds, an attachment to the Farmland facility. Gary Blackburn, KDHE remediation director, said he could maybe see a commercial use of the site but not for residential use for many more years to come. On-site landfills of waste even though properly made were not placed with the idea of houses and families living above them. In the meantime, a powered drainage system pulls water out of the deep Kansas aquifer at a droning of 10 to 20 gallons a day, purging the site of any remaining nitrate and chromium contaminated water into controlled ponds where it is eventually sprayed onto farm crops. "Nobody wants to buy land that's been contaminated, but land that's been contaminated can be cleaned up," Brockovich-Ellis said. "It's not all gloom and doom." Development is paralyzed by the pace of clean-up. While KDHE had made no assessments to determine the length of remediation, Farmland estimated 20 years until full clean-up of the current systems. More aggressive plans could make the area suitable for development, but that costs money, Limesand said — something bankruptcy court isn't likely to go for. "The devil is in the details." Limesand said. "They could tear down all those buildings, and down who knows what you would find underneath them." That is something Douglas county commissioners are well aware of. The commission sent a letter to Rod Bremby, KDHE secretary, requesting the department to ensure none of the clean-up cost is dumped onto taxpayers. Farmland has allocated just less than $500,000 for the cleanup and maintenance of the site. Farmland intends to sell off much of the plant's still useful buildings, which would be moved to other locations outside of Lawrence. The proprietary technology hidden in the pipes is highly useful to other companies. "Our fear is they'll deal off the clean parts and leave us with the contaminated ones," said Jones, former KDHE director of environment, according to a Lawrence Journal-World article. While the dance around what to do with the East Lawrence property continues, the site waits under the watchful ground well checks of KDHE and Farmland. "The decisions you make today have the ability to impact, possibly in a bad way, a nameless faceless human being down the road," Brockovich-Ellis said.

So says a long-awaited nutrition report, released yesterday by the Institute of Medicine, that sets the nation's recommended intake levels of key nutrients. Heart specialists praised the new salt recommendation while food manufacturers deemed it unrealistic. Three-quarters of Americans' daily salt intake comes from sodium hidden in common processed and restaurant foods, such as frozen dinners and spaghetti sauce. While factors such as weight and exercise play a role; salt and blood pressure go hand-in-hand: Eat too much, blood pressure rises. Eat less, it drops. Some 50 million Americans have high blood pressure-putting them at risk for heart attacks, strokes and kidney disease-and another 45 million are pre-hypertensive. Food labels today set daily sodium consumption at 2,400 milligrams, the equivalent of a heaping teaspoon of salt. Yet women today eat, on average, twice that amount, men even more. The new recommendation is that most people get just 1,500 milligrams a day. "We don't have our heads in the sand on this one," said Dr. Lawrence Appel, who co-authored the guidelines for the institute, an independent scientific organization that advises the government. "We realize where we are is quite a distance from where we should be ... and there are commercial interests that don't want this to happen." "People can cook and prepare Western-style diets that are at that level!" even though "it will take work right now," said Appel, a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University. Food makers countered that consumers will give up when faced with such strict levels. "Dietary recommendations for all Americans need to be realistic," said Stephanie Childs of the Grocery Manufacturers of America. The Institute of Medicine report also: Lists 2,300 milligrams of sodium as a maximal upper limit for the average adult's good health, but stresses that eating more than 1,500 is not recommended for anyone. In fact, because blood pressure rises with age, it says people over 50 should strive to eat just 1,300 milligrams a day, and those over 70 just 1,200 milligrams. Urges Americans to eat more potassium — 4,700 milligrams a day, roughly double current consumption. Potassium lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of kidney stones and bone loss.

Bombers kill Iraqi army volunteers The Associated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq — A second suicide bombing in as many days killed up to 47 people yesterday, pushing the toll in the back-to-back attacks to 100. Again, Iraqis were the targets — this time, a crowd of volunteers for Iraq's new army — in an apparent campaign to wreck U.S. plans to transfer power by summer. The U.S. military posted a $10 million bounty on a Jordanian militant suspected of organizing violence by foreign fighters and plotting an acceleration in attacks aimed at sparking a Sunni-Shiite civil war in Iraq. The United States made public a letter to Al-Qaida leaders thought to be sent by the militant, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. In it, he warns that militants are in a "race against time" to stop the June 30 handover of power, when Iraqi security forces will take a stronger role in battling the insurgency. The military announced Monday that it intercepted the document. In yesterday's attack in Baghdad, an car packed with 300 to 500 pounds of explosives drove up to a crowd of Iraqis waiting outside an army recruitment center only a few blocks from the heavily fortified Green Zone, headquarters of the U.S.administration. The driver detonated the explosives, killing 47 people and wounding 55, the U.S.-led coalition said. The Irqi Interior Ministry put the toll at 46 dead. The aim yesterday was clearly to kill Iraqis working with the U.S.-led coalition, rather than a particular religious group, because the crowd was likely a mix of Sunnis and Shiites. But the suicide bombing yesterday targeted a mostly Shiite town, Iskandariyah, south of the capital. A truck carrying a similar amount of explosives blew up outside a police station, killing 53 Iraqis, including would-be recruits lined up to apply for jobs. There was no claim of responsibility for the rare consecutive attacks, but Maj. Gen. Charles H. Swannack Jr., commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, said he saw a connection between al-Zarqawi, his memo and the recent bombings. A U.S. official in Washington said al-Zarqawi's involvement could not be ruled out, but that the blasts were more likely the work of supporters of Saddam Hussein. Mohsen Abdel-Hamid, president of the U.S.-appointed Governing Council, said the attackers want to undermine security so that independence will be delayed. The frequency of attacks may also be a message to a U.N. team of experts now in Iraq to assess whether an early election can be held before the transfer of power, he said. Yesterday's was at least the ninth major vehicle bombing in Iraq this year, and U.S. officials say that as the June 30 deadline nears, more attacks will likely follow. The Americans have portrayed the letter from al-Zarqawi as a sign of insurgents' desperation to stop the handover. The letter complained that Iraqi guerrillas have not cooperated enough with foreign Islamic fighters and said attacks would be tougher to carry out once Iraqi security forces take a stronger role. "The noose is beginning to tighten around the necks of the mujahedeen, and the future is frightening with the future deployment of more troops and police," it says. If the insurgency fails to prevent the handover, "then there will be no choice but to pack our bags and move to another land." It describes Iraqi soldiers and police as an instrument of the Americans, and "God willing, we are determined to target them forcefully in the coming period." The letter also outlines a strategy of kidnappings of U.S. soldiers and greater attacks on "collaborators," Kurds and particularly Shiites, saying "the best solution" is to spark war between Iraq's Shite majority and Sunni minority. Since Jan. 1, at least 261 Iraqi civilians have been killed in major suicide attacks or car bombings, according to an AP tally based on reports issued by the U.S. military or Iraqi police. At least 532 U.S. service members have died since the beginning of military operations in Iraq, according to the Department of Defense. Of those, 372 died as a result of hostile action. The Baghdad recruitment center was surrounded by barbed wire with sandbagged posts in front. About 300 Iraqi were gathered outside the center's locked gates, and were completely exposed when the car exploded at about 7:25 a.m. Some were lined up to join the military, others waiting to depart for training in Jordan. Approval granted for sex magazine The Associated Press BOSTON — Harvard University has approved a student magazine about sex that will feature art, sex advice and fiction — as well as photographs of undressed Harvard undergraduates. "We are aware of the fact that some segments of the population would find the contents distasteful," said Associate Dean Judith H. Kidd, a member of the 14-person board that approves all student organizations. "However, the committee considered this to be an issue of freedom of speech." The committee, made up of faculty, staff and students, approved H Bomb magazine Tuesday with a 12-0 vote, with two abstentions. The vote lets the magazine's publishers apply for funding but does not guarantee money; when it would be published is uncertain. The magazine cannot take its photos on university property, a policy that applies for all of the school's undergraduate publications. Vassar and Swarthmore colleges also have sex-themed magazines, though H Bomb is the first such publication for Harvard. "What we are proposing is an outlet for literary and artistic expression that is both desired and needed, not a pornographic magazine." Katharina C. Baldegg and Camilla H.Hrdy Harvard students who proposed H Bomb The students proposing the magazine, Katharina C. Baldegg and Camilla H. Hrdy, have unlisted phone numbers and email addresses, and could not be reached for comment by The Associated Press. A Harvard Crimson newspaper story described H Bomb as a "porn magazine," but Baldegg and Hardy dispute that description in a statement released by a Harvard spokesman. "What we are proposing is an outlet for literary and artistic expression that is both desired and needed, not a pornographic magazine," it read.

Although Old wouldn't disclose how much the business venture cost to launch, he said that it took a considerable amount of money to start. "It was a fistful of dollars, that's for sure." Old said. I decided to hop off the Bar Hop at Last Call, 729 New Hampshire St., to find out if people there knew about the service. "I'll use anything that stops me and my friends from drunk driving," Fish said. "It's the sensible thing to do." Jessica Fish, Basehor junior, said she would have used the service if she would have known about it. When the bus finally came back, Old let me know he was there by using the bus's external speaker. Bar Hop generally waits about two minutes at each stop to let riders on and off. i got back on and the bus was empty again. Old said that nobody had been on since I had left, but that he thought eventually people would start getting the idea. At 1:45 a.m., at Abe and Jake's Landing, E 8. Sixth St., some people did get the idea. The first group of people that I had seen get on the bus was a group of French students. "We were just waiting on a taxi and it didn't come," said Gabriella Levy, Paris freshman. BAR HOP ■ Running times: 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night ■ Cost: $1 per ride ■ Locations coming soon: Jefferson Commons Colony Woods Tanners Bar and Grill Bar Hop dropped off 12 students at 2 a.m. in front of McCollum Hall. The party bus delivers Lawrence residents to and from bars for $1 per ride. As the group got off at McColum Hall, I asked Old if he would take me back to Rick's Place, and he obliged. The students said they liked the idea of the service because it was efficient. Phoenix Post-Dispatch/Kansas City News Old said that he was confident that ridership would improve, but it would be directly related to the amount of time the service had been around. Amanda Kim Stairrett/Kansan "It's a building process," Old said. "I'm in the service for Lawrence students.I love helping the college kids." Midwest Transportation's price for charters is $85 per hour. Jack Flanigans offers its bus for $200 for four hours as long as it starts at the bar. Both Midwest Transportation and Jack Flanigans Bar and Grill, 806 W.24th St., also offer charter bus services to bar patrons. Dannie Thompson, owner of Jack Flanigans, said that he didn't see Bar Hop as competition for his bar, if anything, it would bring more business for him. "I think it provides a great service to students, that's why I got my bus in the first place," Thompson said. "Plus, I'm off the beaten path of Mass. Street and it'll probably bring more people into my bar. It's going to keep all the bars happy." — Edited by Nikki Nugent Illegal soldier passes citizenship test with perfect scores — a required civics and history test. SEATTLE — A Mexican who joined the U.S. Army and fought in Iraq after buying a fake green card for $50 will be allowed to remain in the United States. "It's just paper but, I don't know, it feels good," he said. The Army normally requires that any illegal immigrants who get caught after fraudulently enlisting be discharged. Once discharged, they may be deported. But the military helped Escalante pursue citizenship. arguing that he was a valuable soldier who would do the country more good as a citizen than as a deported immigrant. However, immigration authorities are still planning to deport his parents. Escalante's attorney said he will appeal that decision.

Red Cross wants to see Hussein GENEVA — The Red Cross has visited imprisoned officials of Saddam Hussein's toppled regime and expressed confidence yesterday that U.S. authorities will allow it to see the former Iraqi dictator "sooner rather than later." The Associated Press later. "He's a POW and supposed to be like any POW," said Nada Doumani, a spokeswoman for the International Committee of the Red Cross, which requested permission to visit Saddam soon after he was captured Dec. 13 and the United States declared him a prisoner of war. "The Americans are saying that he's somewhere in Iraq, as far as I understand, but we cannot confirm that or deny it," Doumani said. The agency still doesn't know where Saddam is being held and will know for sure only when its delegates have seen him, Doumani said. The ICRC has representatives who continue to visit Iraq detainees, whether they are ordinary soldiers or among the 55 most-wanted whose faces appear in a deck of cards issued by U.S. authorities. The coalition says it has captured 44 of the 55. "I cannot tell you by name whom we have seen and whom we haven't and if we have skipped somebody." Doumani said. But the ICRC doesn't get into who conducts the trial as long as it is a military tribunal of a sovereign country that is party to the Geneva Conventions. She said there is nothing in the Geneva Conventions that would prohibit Saddam's being tried by a coalition tribunal. The trial can be for what a POW did before the latest war, including "other war crimes or crimes against humanity," she said. She said there was some misconception about Saddam's rights after he was declared a POW. "But he cannot be tried for simply participating in hostilities because the whole idea for a POW is that he is a soldier doing his job in defending his country," she said.

State to control Sunday liquor sales The Associated Press TOPEKA — Senators tentatively approved a bill yesterday that made the state's Liquor Control Act uniform, but removed provisions that allowed local decisions on Sunday sales and that increased alcohol taxes. The stripped-down bill, endorsed on a voice vote, expressly forbids local governments from exempting themselves from parts of Kansas' liquor laws and adopted their own alcohol statutes. Approval on final action, expected today, would send the measure to the House. Supporters of Sunday sales expressed disappointment about the vote, which came as a surprise to senators on both sides of the issue. "If this bill passes the House and is signed by the governor, it will have the effect of rescinding city and county ordinances allowing Sunday sales," said Sen. John Vratal, (R-Leawood). "I think a big number of my constituents want Sunday sales. I'm surprised the majority voted against it." Fourteen cities and one county have approved ordinances opting out of the state's traditional ban on Sunday sales, most relying on a Wyandotte County judge's 2003 rule that provisions of Kansas' Liquor Control Act did not apply uniformly to all communities. The legislation in the Senate is intended to clarify that the act's provisions are to be applied uniformly. Some senators who said they favor Sunday sales voted against it last year because the 2003 legislation did not raise taxes. But others who support Sunday sales said yesterday they cannot vote for a bill if a tax increase is included. Sen. David Haley, (D-Kansas City), argued that the tax increase was disproportionately unfair to people in his district, which he said has the lowest per-capita income of any Senate district. "I consider it a regressive tax that's unfair to those who can least afford it." Haley said. Sen. Christine Downey, (D-Newton), said she would be willing to stand up for the poor people in her district — but not about alcohol taxes. "I'm going to fight for their rights," she said. "I'm going to fight for adequate food and safe neighborhoods. But the last thing I'm going to do is fight for the right of poor people to have cheap beer." The Sunday sales and tax increase provisions were removed from the bill on separate votes of 23-17. Sen. Stan Clark (R-Oakley), said he and Sen. Nick Jordan, (R-Shawnee), knew 11 senators were against Sunday sales no matter what was tied to it, and nine were for it. The rest were "on the fence," said Clark, an opponent of Sundav sales. "We've never seen anything quite that wild in our time in the Legislature," Clark said. He has been a lawnmaker for 10 years. Lana Oleen, (R-Manhattan), said selling alcohol on Sundays is a moral issue for some, but for others it's simply a matter of not wanting to change a long-standing Kansas tradition. Some senators want a change, she said, because they worry that Kansas businesses cannot compete with businesses in Missouri, where Sunday sales are legal. "There is some sensitivity to legislators who live on the border," said Oleen. "I don't think it's a total moral issue." Both she and Clark are certain they'll be called upon to vote on the Sunday sales issue again before the session ends. Kerry is confident, aides create strategy The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The nomination within reach, John Kerry's advisers are discussing strategies for sharpening his message, spending his money, airing television ads and collecting a winner's share of the 538 electoral votes in November's general election. While the candidate focused on defeating John Edwards and Howard Dean to sew up the Democratic race, parts of his political team have put President Bush firmly in their sights. "Going toe-to-toe with President Bush is also the best way to secure the Democratic nomination," said Democratic strategist Michael Feldman. His former boss, Al Gore, polished off the 2000 Democratic nominating struggle while at the same time eying Bush. With each of his 12 primary season victories, Kerry has stepped up his criticism of Bush. "George Bush and the Republican smear machine has begun trotting out the same old tired lines of attack," Kerry said recently, adding that he has news for Republicans: "I am not going to back down." Thus, he's already begun to build up his general election campaign. Kerry plans to tap $15 million in the Democratic National Committee coffers to respond to a multimillion dollar television ad campaign Bush is poised to unleash once Democrats select a nominee. Kerry won't match Bush's $200 million pace, but aides said he and his allies can close the gap enough to compete. Just as Gore ran ads in Orlando, Tampa and West Palm Beach while Bush saturated all of Florida, Kerry's spending will have to be selective and smart, aides said. If he wins the nomination, one of Kerry's biggest decisions will be the choice of a running mate. Advisers say there have been no official talks, but conversations always seem to come back to Edwards of North Carolina and Missouri Rep. Dick Gephardt, who dropped out of the race after a poor showing in Iowa last month. Auditors want state to report West Nile The Associated Press TOPEKA — State auditors are recommending that the Kansas Department of Health and Environment begin reporting all probable cases of West Nile virus to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the report, conducted by the Legislative Post Audit Division and released yesterday, also said that 20 cases classified as "probable" by KDHE — and not reported to the CDC — represented "fairly insignificant" underreporting. KDHE spokeswoman Sharon Watson said there were 90 confirmed cases of West Nile virus in 2003 and 731 presumptive positives reported. There were five deaths and two presumptive deaths related to the disease. Auditors noted that because of the relatively recent arrival of the disease, health officials have latitude in reporting standards. West Nile first appeared in Kansas in 2002, with 22 cases and no deaths reported. "Until the CDC issues more uniform guidelines on how to collect and report cases of West Nile fever, there will be and continue to be significant variations in what states report, and the number of cases will not be comparable," auditors wrote. West Nile fever is less severe than the disease, characterized by a rash, headache and fever. With West Nile virus, victims develop encephalitis, a swelling of the brain, or meningitis, a swelling of the lining around the brain and spinal cord. The audit noted that there still could be West Nile cases of which KDHE is unaware, because commercial labs are not required to report positive results, and many don't. In addition, people may develop symptoms and never seek help. Watson said the health agency planned to implement the recommendations. 9th & Iowa · 842-2930 "WE USE AMERICAN BEEF" Bucky's Buy A 1/4 Lb.

An overabundance of purple tainted the crimson and blue seats. Attendance: 4,564. KU fans in attendance: Maybe enough to field a baseball team. "Ninety-five percent of it was purple," freshman forward Lauren Ervin said. "I look up in the upper deck, the nosebleed section, and see purple. It's very difficult to play in your home when they're chanting 'K-S-U.' It was tough for me personally." Sitting in Allen Fieldhouse last night, there were a couple of conclusions to be drawn:first,"Kansas fans," particularly the students, should be ashamed. However, no one will feel any shame because no one cares about this school's history. And that's a problem. Fans must defend Kansas' character During the Kansas-Kansas State women's basketball game, one could hear things that should never be said in the historic arena. Kansas got roughed up last night, 81-51, but hung around for awhile. Yes, the Jayhawks are now 9-11 this season with only two conference wins. No, they're not that good of a team. At Kansas State, there is a men's basketball team that is sub-par and draws low attendance numbers. But when Kansas came to town, at least 80 percent of Bramlage Coliseum was purple and white. Is this a column butchering people for not showing up to support the womens' basketball team? Heck no. There are few legitimate reasons to attend the remaining home games. However, this is about defending the honor of this school. While you were out at the bar or in your dorm room last night, you may have heard a rumbling noise under the floor. That was Phog Allen spinning in his grave. It would pain the Fieldhouse's namesake, and other former legends who call it home, to see the sight. Along with being a student at the University of Kansas, you hold a responsibility to carry the traditions of this school. One of those is maintaining the prestige of Allen Fieldhouse. If you don't want to go to women's games on a regular basis, no one's going to cut your tongue out. But you should have found a way to make it to the game last night, because the amount of Wildcat faithful in the stands was more than it ever should be. A "shout out" has to go to Keith Langford and his teammates for making an appearance. The other conclusion that can be made from last night is that there are few people who can actually consider themselves "Kansas fans." You may pay tuition, go to class and even call the Free For All confessing your love for a men's basketball player, but that doesn't get you off the hook. What about those devoted boys and girls who loyally sit in the Fieldhouse hallways for days and wait for men's basketball games? They are "Kansas men's basketball fans." The same goes for those who selectively attend football and men's basketball games. Greene is a Vernon Hills, IL., senior in journalism Other then the men's team and the handful of other KU fans who showed up, no one should have the audacity to call themselves a true "Kansas fan." 'Hawks overwhelmed by crowd and team By Jesse Newell jnewell@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Thursday, February 12, 2004 It is an Allen Fieldhouse tradition for fans to wave the wheat after a Jayhawk home victory. After last night's women's game against Kansas State, there was plenty of waving, unfortunately for the Jayhawks it was not because of a victory. The waving came from Kansas State players acknowledging the nearly 4,000 Wildcat supporters who traveled east to pack the Fieldhouse. In front of what amounted to a home crowd away from home, the No. 9-ranked Wildeats ran away from the Jayhawks in an 81-51 victory last night. "We knew they were coming," Kansas interim coach Lynette Woodard said of the Kansas State following. "We just wanted to use that energy on our behalf." Instead, it was the Wildcats who were inspired. The team used its talented post players to overwhelm the Jayhawks. players to State had Kansas seeing triple inside, as center Nicole Ohlide, and forwards Kendra Wecker, and Brie Madden combined for 58 of the team's 81 points. Ohlde and Wecker were especially impressive early. The two combined for 16 points in the first eight minutes of the game, giving Kansas State a 19-6 edge and ensuring the Jayhawks would never hold a lead. "It's tough even for a two-point lead playing against K-State," freshman forward Lauren Ervin said. "They just have so many weapons on the floor." so many weapons on the foot. The Wildcats only extended the lead from there.A quick move from Ohlide with just under seven minutes left in the first half resulted in a basket, and a 32-11 advantage. KANSAS 11 "They're one of the elite teams in the country."Woodard said. "I really thought we could do it, though." For the next 20 minutes, Kansas did play as if it could have pulled off an upset. Eric BroemyKansan The Jayhawks received a spark off the bench from forward Kandis Bonner, who brought not only points but emotion. The junior forward capped a 9-1 run for Kansas in the first half, knocking in a layup, getting fouled and converting the free throw to bring the score to 29-41. Kansas State junior guard Megan Mahoney fouled Kansas junior guard Aquanita Burras under the basket in the first half. The Wildcats outscoored the Jayhawks in the paint by 20 points as they won 81-51 yesterday in Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks were unable to cut the lead further.

The change did not make much difference in the final score, but it did allow sophomore guard Erica Hallman to lead the team in scoring with 14 points. Hallman, who replaced junior guard Blair Waltz as a starter, has played off the bench for the last few games. However, Woodard chose Hallman last night. "We just wanted to get more shooting," Woodard said. "She's been doing a great job in practice." Halman,who averages 6.7 points per game,knocked down 14 points, 11 coming in the first half. Also in the first half, she was 3-4 from beyond the arc, and scored the first Kansas points of the game. "We knew that Kansas State could rain threes at any time.

Giddens has solidified his spot in the Jayhawks' starting lineup as just a freshman. His high-flying dunks and smooth jumpshot have made him an Allen Fieldhouse fan favorite. RIGHT: Giddens fired a three-pointer against Colorado on Jan. 25. The deep ball has been one of the freshman's specialties in his first season as a Jayhawk. He has also emerged as an emotional sparkplug for coach Bill Self's team. Eric Braem/Kansan FREE-FLOWING FRESHMAN STORY BY RYAN GREENE Kansas freshman guard J.R. Giddens takes the game as it comes W then Late Night in the Phog began last October, Justin Ray Giddens, or J.R. as he's known, was already a local celebrity. But by midnight, fans could see he was more than the name and number on his jersey. They could see they would never forget the number 15. After thundering down the newly designed Allen Fieldhouse floor, he took off in the air with one foot on the freethrow line, soaring through the air, his legs pumped as though he was walking on the air below. Finally, he cocked the leather ball behind his head, pushed it forward, and as the rim and backboard vibrated, 16,300 people erupted to their feet in a state of ecstasy. Young boys grow up with hoop dreams like this, but a select few are gifted with that astonishing athletic ability and star power. No one in the stands at the annual midnight festivities that evening cared whether this kid could defend, rebound or hit a free throw. On that Friday night, one thing was established among the Kansas basketball faithful — J.R. Giddens had arrived. "In Oklahoma," he says with his signature ear-to-ear, toothy grin, "I'm known as the man." Growing up There is no doubt that J.R. Giddens is a pretty free-flowing guy. He pumps his fists and yells during games, he does cart wheels at practice, and he loves to talk. It's easy to be that way when you have so much confidence. Born and raised in a northwest suburb of Oklahoma City, Okla., he first held a basketball while still in diapers. But the game was never forced upon him by his parents. He loved it all on his own. "I had a Fisher-Price hoop, and my sister bought me a basketball when I was little," Giddens says. "I dunked it so hard As he grew older, J.R. would watch basketball on television with his dad, Charles. He would practice his game outside with his dad and with his cousin Rico. Giddens spent countless hours outside shooting hoops, sometimes as late as two in the morning. Giddens' favorite pastime was going outside in the winter mornings before school and shooting on the frozen basketball nets around his neighborhood. The youngster would shoot until he saw the ball drop through the net, causing the icicles hanging from the frozen nylon to fall like rain. The endless early days and late nights shooting in the neighborhood turned him into the lethal three-point threat he is today. The ability to dunk, which is now a signature of Giddens' style, came on a neighbor's driveway when Giddens was that I broke it." SEE GIDDENS ON PAGE 4B TALK TO SPORTS: Contact Henry C.

Redick scored 25 points, and Shelden Williams had 19 points and 12 reboundst last night to lift No.1 Duke past Virginia 93-75. Freshman Luol Deng scored 11 points despite seeing limited action due to an injury for the Blue Devils (21-1, 10-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who have won 18 straight games overall and 39 in a row at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Duke has won 18 of 20 meetings with the Cavaliers (12-9, 2-8) dating to the 1995-96 season. Elton Brown scored 24 points for Virginia, which fell to 1-25 all-time against top-ranked teams, including an 0-13 mark against Duke when it is No. 1. J. R. Reynolds added 16 points for the Cavaliers. The Blue Devils had to play most of the first half without Deng, who was injured when he charged into Brown with 16:37 left in the half. He limped off the court, and was sidelined for the rest of the half. But he returned with 16:29 to play, and provided a spark to a Blue Devils team struggling to put away the pesky Cavaliers. He scored nine points in 4 minutes, beginning with an up-and-under move that drew a foul on Derrick Byars. He completed the three-point play for a 55-47 lead, then drained a jumper off a feed from Redick from the right corner to maintain the eight-point edge. lowa passes Kansas State's active road losing streak MANHATTAN—Jarrett Hart scored 21 points and Jeremiah Massey had 20 points and 12 rebounds, leading Kansas State to a 90-59 victory against Iowa State last night.

Oklahoma defeats No.18 Texas Tech The Associated Press NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma bounced back from its lowest scoring output in nearly 50 years with a 63-48 victory over No. 18 Texas Tech last night. The Sooners (15-5, 5-4 Big 12 Conference) looked nothing like the offensively-clueless squad that was routed 66-37 by Texas on Sunday, their lowest point total since 1955.

"It wasn't like this last year." Woods said, recalling rain and a soupy fog that greeted his return to the PGA Tour at the Buick Invitational. That isn't the only difference. A year ago, Woods wasn't sure how his left knee was going to respond to surgery that kept him away from competitive golf for two months. Ernie Els had won three tournaments, Davis Love III was coming off a victory at Pebble Beach and Mike Weir was already showing signs of being a Masters champion. Now, his chief challenge is as clear as the skies over Tyrine Pores — Vijay Singh, owner of the longest top-10 streak in 27 years, a man in full command of his golf game. Woods sees him as only the latest rival. David Duval in 1999. Phil Mickelson the next two years. Ernie Els in 2002. "He's definitely up there," Woods said of Singh, whose victory last week at Pebble Beach was his third in nine tour events, and 12th consecutive finish in the top 10. "Everyone has their own little run where we all play well. I think it's a fun time in golf right now because there are a lot of different challengers out there." The fun really gets started today at the Buick Invitational on two courses at Torrey Pines (South and North), a tournament that tends to favor the big hitters. Woods is the defending champion — yes, the knee held up just fine as he won by four shots. He is a three-time winner at Torrey Pines, and will be among the favorites this week. Mickelson, coming off his worst season, opened the year with a victory in the Bob Hope Classic, a tie for seventh in Phoenix and third place last week at Pebble Beach. Still, much of the focus is on Singh. "I already feel like I'm going to play well," Singh said. "I guess that's the momentum carrying me through." He felt pain, but figured it would go away. When he finished his marathon session, it hurt even worse. He withdrew from the tournament, discovered he had a cracked rib and missed the next five weeks. The Fijian actually has bad memories of this place. It was last year when he tucked a tiny sponge ball under his left armpit as part of a drill during a five-hour session on the practice range. He returns to Torrey Pines only two top 10s away from the record Jack Nicklaus strung together in 1977, and closer to Woods in the world ranking than anyone has been in nearly five years. "It catches your attention," Singh said. Everything else, however, is business as usual. Players stop him wherever he goes to congratulate him on his success. Singh even sees them studying the way he practices, realizing there might be something to the long hours he puts in. The streak is merely a byproduct of his work, as is his goal of replacing Woods at No. 1. "I'm not thinking about the streak," he said. "I wasn't even aware of it until guys started talking about it. I'm sure it's going to end one day. I'm just going to try to play the best I can." Mickelson played the first three rounds of the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am with Singh, and said it was easy to see the biggest difference in his game. "Putting," Mickelson said. "He's always driven it straight. He's always hit pretty good irons, pretty good short game. But he's making everything." Coach under fire for bawdy behavior The Associated Press BOULDER, Colo.—When Gary Barnett was hired to coach Colorado's football team five years ago, he was embraced as a disciplinarian who would end an era of loose recruiting practices and return the team to national prominence. Now the coach is at the center of the school's biggest scandal in decades, perhaps ever. Amid accusations that a boozy round of recruiting visits by high school prospects in 2001 ended in gang rape, Barnett faces a university investigation that was all but ordered by Colorado's governor. The latest blow came this week when a striptease operator said he regularly sends lap-dancers to perform for Colorado athletes. The most recent performances were booked two weeks ago — wett after the rape allegations became public and just days after Barnett promised to step down if it was shown his staff had anything to do with what he called "tawdry" behavior by student-athletes. To top it off, a former athletics official said Barnett seemed reluctant to crack down on entertaining recruits because it could give an advantage to other schools. Barnett denies it all, telling The Associated Press he will be cleared by the investigation and disputes accusations in a federal lawsuit that the Boulder campus is a hostile place for women. "I expect them to find that we have an exemplary program in every aspect," Barnett said. The coach blames the players and students for the December 2001 party that led to the rape allegations and says he can't watch players and recruits 24 hours a day. "No coach or any member of my staff had anything to do with that night," he said. "At no time did any coach take part in arranging, creating or encouraging a party of any sort. You just don't do that." At 57, Barnett has led Colorado to a Big 12 Conference title and a BCS bowl game in his five seasons as head coach (his contract runs through 2006). When he took over from Rick Neuheisel in January 1999, his former players at Northwestern said Colorado was getting a new sheriff. During the last two seasons, nine players were suspended for various violations of team rules, including curfew and behavior standards. "Coach Barnett is such a stickler," receiver D.J. Hackett said. "He's really strict on rules Still, Barnett had his share of controversy even before becoming head coach at Colorado. and stuff." He tled Northwestern to a pair of Big 10 titles and a Rose Bowl berth after the 1995 season. He was also there during a betting scandal in which four football players were indicted and accused of lying about gambling and point-shaving activities. Ineir coach was not implicated. Barnett later called the scandal a "tremendous betrayal" by the players. Barnett was also with the Colorado program as an assistant coach during some if its darkest days. Between 1986 and 1988, players were accused of crimes ranging from drunken driving to serial rape, and the school was featured in a Sports Illustrated cover story that still brings bitter memories. The Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is more complicated than he appears. Earnhardt tackles late father's legacy Sure, he loves to party with friends, hang out with Kid Rock and 3 Doors Down, and appear in commercials — "They ain't too much work," he said. Even he admits he's "all about fun." But Earnhardt is also a serious competitor, ready to make a mark on the world conquered by his late father. Going into the season-opening Daytona 500 on Sunday, Earnhardt, who drives for Dale Earnhardt Inc., the team his father started, isn't yet in his old man's class on the racetrack. The elder Earnhardt, who died in 2001, won seven championships during the Winston Cup era of the stock car sport. The swaggering Intimidator was a presence in NASCAR from the start of his career. He was Rookie of the Year in 1979, won his first series title the next season and was still a contender when he died. "There was really nobody else like him," Earnhardt said. "He was awesome." The younger Earnhardt would love to be like his father—at least on the racetrack, where he has nine victories in his four seasons in NASCAR's top series. Off the track, the two men are nothing alike. Earnhardt Sr. was a businessman, a family man, and a dedicated hunter. Earnhardt, an eligible 29-year-old bachelor, would rather spend time with a girl on his arm backstage at a rock concert, playing computer games or eating fast food with friends. "I'm still in my 20s and I enjoy my life," he said. "I don't feel I have to prove anything to anybody. I just feel fortunate to have the opportunity to drive race cars and just enjoy it." Earnhardt has built a sizable fan base that includes people who idolized his father as well as a younger crowd that loves when he wears baseball caps backward and sports rugish stubble. So, is Junior concerned that he is letting win down each year he does not win a championship? "I used to worry about these things," he said. "I guess as I get a little bit older and a little bit smarter, it doesn't worry me as much. I just know I'm trying to get better and be successful." Earnhardt won Busch Series championships in 1998 and 1999 before moving up to Cup, where Matt Kenseth beat him out in 2000 for Rookie of the Year. Last year, while Kenseth was dominating the season points on the way to his first championship, Earnhardt also had his best season, finishing third in the points. Three-time champion Darrell Waltrip, now a television analyst for Fox Sports, loved racing against Dale Sr. and would love to see Earnhardt reach his potential. "There's nobody in the sport right now who has more charisma," Waltrip said. "All Junior needs is maybe a little more concentration and dedication to the job to be a champion." Earnhardt Jr. says he's willing to pay the price for success. "I've learned that no matter how fast you go on the track, you can't ever think it's your best lap," he said. "In this business, nothing is ever good enough. That's what makes a champion." And he doesn't regret the attention and expectations that come with being an Earnhardt. "It's a lot of fun even though sometimes it's a little overwhelming," he said. "I could never have anticipated what's happening now. My name has opened a lot of doors for me. "I never wished I was somebody else," he said. "I'm all about making it fun and trying to enjoy it." Blind Date: Kansan Style.

The event came out of nowhere, and the neighbor who was there to witness it was in just as much disbelief as I.R. himself. "I dunked it and he's like 'did you just do what I think you did?' Giddens said. "He's like 'do it again, do it again,' so then I dunked it two or three more times and was just ecstatic." The morning following his dunk, at school, Giddens did the same in his junior high gym. His time to impress his friends with his new skill was limited, as the basketball season was ending. He was forced to wait until the AAU circuit, a summer league, began for him to display his new-found abilities in the game. When J.R. met Roy An AAU summer basketball game was not only when Giddens flushed his first meaningful dunk, but it's also what first introduced him to then-Kansas coach Roy Williams. In the summer before his junior year of high school, Giddens was in the middle of a game, when he glanced into the stands and recognized the legendary Kansas head coach. It was the first time a major college coach had come to watch him play. J. R. immediately turned on the juice. He knew what would get coach Williams excited, and that's exactly what he gave him with dunk upon dunk mixed in with the range of his other athletic talents, such as his quick feet and silky jump shot. Giddens stayed in contact with Williams that season, and accepted a scholarship offer to play for the Jahawks towards the end of his junior year at John Marshall High School before most major college coaches even knew about him. "Coach Williams was telling me I was going to be a McDonald's All-American the next year and this and that," Giddens said. "He told me I was going to be his little secret." "My dad told me that every time I put on a uniform,it's like a business suit." J. R. Giddens Freshman guard In his senioryear, he did just that, averaging 22 points and 10 rebounds per game as a senior. He was named a McDonald's All-American along with fellow Kansas recruit, big man, David Padgett, from Reno, Nev. By the time his high school career was done, Giddens was one of the nation's top-20 high school recruits. In a McDonald's game that was highlighted by the appearance of LeBron James, Giddens was the second-leading scorer for the West team, tallying 16 points. He had the type of game expected of him. It's what his parents have told him to expect every time he plays. "My dad told me that every time I put on a uniform, it's like a business suit," Giddens said. "They said when you get the chance to show the world, show them great things." Giddens and Padgett headlined a stellar recruiting class for Williams, and would prove to be his last batch for the Jayhawks. Just days after the Jayhawks lost 81-78 in the National Championship game to Syracuse, Williams made the tear-filled announcement that he was leaving for North Carolina. Giddens was not even on campus yet, but said he had no intentions of jumping ship and re-evaluating his other suitors, which included Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Purdue, and Illinois. He loved Kansas far too much, and it was to become home. From teenager to icon There's a special title that goes with being a Kansas basketball player. instant, because that's how fast you are a celebrity. In Giddens' case, he was a celebrity before even stepping on campus as a freshman. Even though you may be only 18 years old and still wet behind the ears, you must become a man in an "I realized that when my junior year in high school when I came up here for Late Night," he said. "When I hung out with the guys, I saw how the fans put them up on a higher stand, and they kind of looked up to them." When a player puts on a Kansas basketball uniform, he is instantly transferred from being a teenage nobody to an icon. "When you walk into a class, everyone's going to say 'hey there's the new freshman basketball player,' and the day that you don't go to class, everybody's going to notice that the new freshman basketball player's cutting class today," former Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "And along with that being put up on a pedestal, after a game our guys may stay around and sign autographs for a half hour, even when their parents are trying to get them to hurry up so they can go eat. It's part of the price that you pay." The players have no choice as to whether they pay that price. Most nights during the school year include studying and tutoring sessions late into the night, as well as curfews, limiting the time allowed for a social life. There are great privileges such as being a role model for thousands of kids, getting preferential treatment around town and being a celebrity on campus. But there are also the down sides. Too much attention can get stressful, and build up pressure to maintain the hero image. "We go to places, and people might get mad because we get in and get VIP treatment, or people's girlfriends come up and talk to us and you see a guy give you a dirty look, but I think it's all funny," Giddens said. "Some people think that the benefits we get are unfair, but they don't realize a lot of the stuff we go through. You know there's benefits and not benefits." Giddens has a good defense mechanism though — he just acts like himself. He's still a teenager whose hobbies include sleeping and watching the Disney Channel. He's the same kid who helps out his home town friends by sending them his extra pairs of shoes, warm-ups and sweatsuits that the school provides for him. But with so many people clamoring to be your buddy, or just be around you for that matter, it's a lot to handle. "Even though I play basketball and sign autographs for little kids, we're regular people just like everybody else," he says. "We just happen to play basketball at the University that has the best fan support in the world. They treat us like we're on a pedestal, and that has its ups and downs." Hawks Facing the competition Fans speculate that there's no way Giddens will stay around for a full four years, much like another former Jayhawk he is constantly compared to — perennial NBA All-Star Paul Pierce. Physically, he is a coach's dream. He's 6 feet 5 inches tall with an NBA body. He has a long and lean frame that benefits his defensive attributes. His incredible leaping ability comes from a strong lower body, with calves that look almost the size of a human head. He possesses a jump shot that looks awkward, but is almost always dead-on. His defensive quickness and agility is enough to force an opponent into submission. Most important, he's developing the ability to take over a basketball game in what looks like an effortless blur. That was the case on Jan. 17. Midway through the second half at Texas A&M, Kansas was surprisingly being held at bay by the Big 12 cellar-dweller Texas A&M Aggies. Giddens delivered three consecutive three-point bombs which put the Jayhawks up 47-36, and the game was a done dea at that point. Fortunately for Giddens, he is not in a situation where he is relied upon heavily every night to lead the Jayhawks in any statistical categories. But that afternoon, he Jared Soares/Kansan J. R.

Signing autographs are a typical activity for the team as celebrities in Lawrence. showed flashes of the future. he simply continuing his development towards what his mother, Dianna, expects him to become. "My mom said 'When you were born, I could tell you were going to be something special.'" Giddens said. "Hopefully that's what's on going right now." The future Like any wide-eyed college freshman, Giddens has bright hopes for life once his time in Lawrence is through. Sure, he dreams of riches and fame, but there's more he wants to do with it than buy the Escalades, flashy jewelry or 10-bedroom mansions that define the excess of today's NBA superstars. "I want to be an NBA All-Star, one of the best to ever play the game," Giddens said. "I want to make a lot of money and give a lot of it away to help people, maybe adopt some kids, raise a family." But Giddens should not be getting too far ahead of himself right now. For now, he's walking into the John Hadl Auditorium following the Jayhawks' 65-56 victory over the Missouri Tigers to speak with the media. Giddens can hardly hold still he's so excited. He flashes his signature smile, politely makes eye contact with his interviewers, and fidgets with a stat sheet while he answers questions. His reaction to his first taste of the Border War was that of any other freshman leaving the Fieldhouse that night. He talked about the energy, the noise and even the kid dressed as a Tiger in the crowd holding a sign that read "I Eat Poop." At the end of his accounts of the evening, he calls his 11-point, seven-rebound performance his "greatest night in Kansas." So far. Edited by Guillaume Doane Quite possibly the perfect gift.

Wildcat fans made Allen Fieldhouse look like their home court last night, outnumbering and outcheering the Jayhawk faithful as Kansas State routed Kansas. OVERWHELMED: Wildcats dominate in the paint CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B get any closer. Kansas struggled to the end, and were finished off as K-State put together a 12-0 run in the final minutes of the game. Ohlde paced the Wildcats with 23 points on 8-of-10 shooting. Wecker added 21, and Madden also scored in double digits with 14. Texas A&M loses ninth straight game,83 to 77 COLLEGE STATION, Texas Nate Johnson scored 19 points including all four of his free throws in the final minute, to lead Nebraska to an 83-77 victory over Texas A&M last night. Nebraska (13-7, 3-6 Big 12) only hit two field goals in the last 14 minutes of play, but hit 25 of 26 free throws over the same stretch to outlast A&M for the lead. Ervin, coming off a one-game suspension for violation of team policies, had six points and a team-high eight rebounds. Kansas guard Erica Hallman, led the Jayhawks with impressive shooting from behind the arc. The 5-8 guard scored 14 points, and connected on 3-of-6 three-point attempts. Guard Larisha Graves contributed 10 points in the loss. The two teams combined for 71 free throws and 55 fouls over the course of the game with 52 of those shots and 37 of the fouls occurring in the second half. Texas A&M (7-13, 0-9) lost its ninth straight game. The Aggies were led by Jesse King's 18 points and seven rebounds. Hallman said the team was disappointed that it could not stay with Kansas State. Back-to-back scores from Ace Law along with just three Nebraska points in the final five minutes of the first period opened the door for the Aggies. A last second shot by Bobby Leach gave A&M A 33-32 halftime edge, its first lead of the game. "We thought we could come out and give them a game," Hallman said, "but that didn't happen." Nebraska's fast start hit a road block midway through the second half, as the Cornhuskers could not get any open looks and kept heading to the line. Kansas will travel to Oklahoma Saturday for a matchup with the 15-6 Sooners. The lead was shortlived as the Huskers opened the second half on an 18-3 run to take a 50-36 lead. A&M trailed by as little as three with 1:04 remaining when Andrew Drevo left the game with a bloody nose. Drevo had 18 points and nine rebounds for Nebraska. -Edited by Paul Kramer Nebraska hit all eight of its free throws in the final minute to hold on to the win. Final free throws give DePaul edge in St. Louis ST.LOUIS — Delonte Holland made five free throws in the final 57 seconds, sparking DePaul, down by 21 in the first half, to a 70-68 win over Saint Louis yesterday. DePaul (14-7) finished with 15-for-18 shooting from the free throw line and out rebounded Saint Louis 36-18. The Blue Demons, winners of four in a row and seven of their last eight games, snapped a four-game losing streak to Saint Louis and improved to 7-3 in league play. The Billikens (11-9, 4-5) lost their fourth consecutive game. Josh Fisher led Saint Louis with 13 points. Reggie Bryant and Anthony Drejaj each scored 12 points and Tom Frericks added 11 for the Billikens. half we did pretty good and matched them." Woodard said. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B Hallman was responsible for all of the team's three-point shots; her three in the first half were all the team could muster. ALLMAN: Woodard says Hallman has promise KANSAS 23 "It's always good when you can get the threes to go down," Hallman said. "I've been pretty consistent the whole season." Eric Braem/Kansan Woodard claimed to have seen something extra from Hallman this week, and was hoping Hallman would give the team an extra presence. "I work pretty hard in practice, maybe coach has seen something different," Hallman said. "Just trying to give everybody some energy because we're really lacking it right now." Aside from putting points on the board, Hallman considers it important to the team for her to serve as a leader on the court. Eric Braem/Kansan Sophomore guard Erica Hallman, dribbled around an opponent during the game last night against Kansas State. The Jayhawks lost the game 81-51 In addition to directing traffic and setting up plays, the boost she can give to players emotionally is equally important. "I've played point guard my whole life. I try to lead by example, and tell people where to go," Hallman said. While Hallman played well in this game, few Kansas fans were able to see her knock down 75 percent of her threes in the first half. The reason, two-thirds of Allen Fieldhouse was purple. "We've got to win games to get people here," she said. "We've got to earn them." Hallman is realistic, however, about her team's ability to fill the seats with crimson and blue. Hallman was also noticed by her teammates. "Erica played awesome." CEDAR FALLS, Iowa — Northern Iowa had four players in double figures as the Panthers beat Southwest Missouri State 64-59 last night, to break a 14-game losing streak to the Bears dating to the 1996-97 season. Victory moves Northern Iowa to fourth in the MVC freshman forward Lauren Ervin said. "She saw the gaps and went for them." As far as Ervin was concerned, several facets of Hallman's game were clicking. Not only was she able to nail the outside shots that she took, she also drove to the lane for a couple of easy baskets. By the end of the game, Hall- Marrill Andrews and Monwell Randle each had 10 points to lead Southwest Missouri. man was shooting just under 56 percent, but coming out of the first half, she was nailing 80 percent of her shots. Going into last night's game, Hallman had been averaging about 21.4 minutes. Yesterday, she was on the court for 29 minutes. The Panthers took an early 19-7 lead and led most of the way. Randle hit two free throws as Southwest Missouri finished a 7-0 run to cut the score to 19-14 with just over six minutes remaining in the half. - Edited by Collin LaJoie Northern Iowa led 30-22 at halftime. With the game tied 48-48 with 4:36 remaining, Northern Iowa went on a 9-0 run and sealed the victory with free throws down the stretch. With the victory, Northern Iowa took over sole possession of fourth place in the MVC.

This powerful and dynamic band has claimed a name in the independent music scene with their unique blend of four-part vocal harmonies and overlapping instrumentals. Their live and stripped-down performances are a sure WOW! Last but not least is Overstep, another Kansas City group.

I began to look around. In Kansas City, the wine was not so distinct and minute as it is at Dagenham's Winery. From the vines looked like a dinky house in the middle of nowhere. And walked through the street greeted by hills covered with license plates. I twirled the light on a frosted liquid glass and stood up to breathe in smelled grapes, flowering hints of oak. I took a few steps and found out how dark Lawrence's local vineyard can create such delicate wines. Owner Greg Shippe poured me a glass of Niagra, which is a sweet white wine. I told him I'd never wine-tasted before, and he gave me a quick course on tasting rules: the three steps of swirling, sniffing and tasting. "Drinking dry wine is like drinking espresso. It's hard to enjoy right off the bat. It takes some time getting used to it before you can really enjoy the taste," Shippe says. As we walked through the door I were greeted by dark green walls covered with custom license plates. Here winning ribbons and old baseball caps. Warm scents of cedar and potpourri filled the air. I discovered a large wooden bar that had an array of colorful glass wine bottles and was excited and curious to taste the wines that Davenport offered. Davenport has a selection of red, white and blush wines: 13 wines available for tasting and 30 wines produced. The winery also carries fruit wines in flavors such as peach and apple. photos: Eric Braem 1. The person in the image is a man wearing a suit and tie. 2. He has a bald head and is standing in front of a building. 3. There are windows behind him. 4. The building appears to be an office or a hotel. 5. The lighting is dim, suggesting it might be evening or night. I felt like I knew a little more about wineries as I left Davenport and headed to Basehor. On my 30-minute drive down Kansas Highway 24/40, the scenic stretch of road was calming. The stresses of everyday life seeped out onto the highway behind me. I arrived at Holy-Field winery and walked up the wooden steps into the gift shop and tasting room. The room was filled with hand-painted wine glasses, ornaments, candles and assorted wine paraphernalia. grapes, flow hints of oak. I took sip and taste the gentle flavor that resembled Welch's sparking white grape juice, reminding me of New Year's Eve as a child. The visit to Davenport Winery became sort of a celebration because I had no idea that such delicious wines could be found this close to Lawrence. Owner Michelle Meyer greeted me at the door and poured me a glass of white wine called Melody. I used my newly found tasting skills to swirl the wine around in the glass, take a sniff and then a sip. I was delighted by Melody's floral and honey flavor. The winery samples 14 other wines at the tasting. Meyer told me about a customer who had recently come in, complaining he had spent $100 on a bottle of wine at a liquor store and thought it was terrible. She says that was one of the main reasons why students often stay away from wines. "A lot of college students stick to what they know and what is cheap. You can drop $100 on a bottle of wine and get something you don't like or you can spend $3.50 for a beer and get something that you know you will like," Meyer says. Meyer recommends wine tasting to students to begin breaking down that uncertainty. "Wine tasting allows you to make an educated choice on what you tasted, and it's fun to wine taste. There aren't that many opportunities to do it outside of a winery," Meyer says. 0 I looked at my watch and realized an hour had gone by as I was sipping my wine and chatting with Meyer. As I started driving back to Lawrence I realized that after living here for years, I had found an aspect that was overlooked. The winery road trip is perfect for Valentine's couples and friends looking to experience new finds around Lawrence. — Laura Kinch can be reached at lkinch@kansan.com Public Ecstacy Public Ecstacy The newest vibrators are coming out of the bedroom and heading to the clubs. By Jessaca Massey, Jayplay writer "Excuse me, can I, uh, use your cell phone?" Before you hand over your slick cell, you might want to question the intended use. The answer may result in surprising horniness. Thanks to a new program select cell phones can be turned into vibrating buddies. Purring Kitty enables a cell phone to vibrate continuously without receiving calls. This cell phone — no, vibrator — not only takes advantage of the two-in-one cell phone/insert-your-fave-gadget-here combos we're seeing lately but also allows you to disguise your vibrator and take it anywhere your cell phone goes. The greatest advantage of this pleasure program is that it costs only $4.99 to download. I downloaded it on to my roommate's flip SPH-A500 Samsung. I'm envious: she will have access to her sex toy 24/7, while I will have to wait until I can afford to buy a cell phone that isn't reminiscent of the brick phone from the Saved By the Bell era. Don't get me wrong, my Nokia 5165 is cute with its KU faceplate, but it doesn't have the necessary capabilities to download Purring Kitty. Despite this moaning-good tech advancement, there is one problem with my roomie's cellular vibes: the phone must stay open in order to keep the good times going. So if you own a flip phone, be careful not to hit the keypad during stimulus. Your mom might not appreciate pre-orgasmic calls. Some may not like the thought of putting their cell phones you-know-where, but like the idea of a vibrator that can discreetly go wherever they go and gets their pulses racing. Enter Fukuoku 9000. The cell phone must have WAP, wireless application protocol. This protocol, designed for cell phones and other handheld devices, enables those devices to access micro-internet browsers. My roommate's stylish phone was already Internet ready, but check both the website, www.vibelet.com, and your provider to find out if your phone is kitten material. It's not often that you get to boast the greatness of two and three-fourths inches, but if it's the Fukuoku 9000, you definitely can brag all you want about its mini proportions. Scream if you like—I would. This vibrator fits on the tip of your finger and operates on two watch batteries. Carol Queen, sexologist at Good Vibrations, a company devoted to educating the public about sex with retail stores on the Internet and in San Francisco and Berkeley, Calif., says that its finger-fitting design closely mimics the normal masturbation process, so it is popular with vibrator phobes. Queen says this breakthrough vibrator is also beneficial for people with mobility problems, such as carpal tunnel syndrome because the person doesn't have to hold onto the vibrator — just slip it on your finger and let Fukuoku 9000 do the rest! The price is as small as the toy. At around $25, this vibrator is easy on the wallet and high in fun. The Fukuoku 9000 isn't the only sexy gizmo breaking new orgasmic levels. AudiOh will be the vibrator that brings back house music. Audi-Oh is a strap-on butterfly vibrator — sans hands — that has an attached pager-like device with a built-in microphone. The microphone picks up sound waves and turns them into vibrations. Play Juan Atkin's Starlight and imagine not only dancing to his techno tunes, but vibrating to them as well. "Many people find sound sexy. Audi-Oh makes it more erotic," says Queen. "Plus, it's an intimate secret in a public place. A form of exhibitionism." The sound waves are not consistent, which also heightens arousal. You never know what vibe you'll get next. But you don't have to play music to be stimulated by Audi-Oh. Voices and other sounds can be picked up by Audi-Oh. Tawdry dirty talk anyone? The bottomline: around $82. Can you afford it? The Audi-Oh isn't the only device you can wear in public. Remote Butterfly isn't activated by sound waves, but by something your partner will want to hold — a remote control. That's right, your partner is entirely in control of your vibrator and your ecstasy for around $80. A word of wisdom if you wear this one in public: one remote can activate more than one butterfly in the room. Up for group vibrator sex? Before you hop online and charge that plastic, Queen says there's a few tasks you need to complete. If you're in a relationship and want to include a sex toy in your foreplay routine, talk with your partner. Although sex toys make good presents, you need to do something to make the thought fun. Don't make your partner feel as if he or she is inadequate. Queen's suggestion: show this article to your partner before buying a vibe for yourself or giving one as a V-day gift. Where to buy: Good Vibrations, www.goodvibes.com (you have to be at least 21 years of age) Eve's Garden, www.evesgarden.com (you must be at least 18 years of age) Toys in Babeland, www.babeland.com (18 and over) In Lawrence and Kansas City Area: Naughty but Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St. Naughty But Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St. This store doesn't have Audi-Oh, but could possibly order it. It does carry Fukuoku 9000 but runs out quickly because of popularity. — Jessaca Massey can be reached at jmassey@kansan.com 2012.04 Juicydog 5 Hungry Hungry Hu SASA MENSON, Y WRITING December 3, 9 a.m. It's day one. Day one means no over-sized muffin for breakfast — apple juice will have to do. It means I can't grab the breadsticks at Wescoe Terrace for lunch — replace that with a glass of cranberry juice. It means no filling up on Diet Coke, munching on Junior Mints, making gooey grilled cheese or adding dessert with dinner. Substitute fruit juice for all of that. Worst, day one means no morning wake-up coffee - including the imitation cappuccino that I can't seem to do without. It's the beginning of my three day detoxification fast. I'm writing this fasting journal to chronicle my brief experimentation with the healing benefits of alternative medicine. I'm going basic and starting easy; three simple days of juice fasting to detoxify and rejuvenate. The Web sites, books and pamphlets say this could be the miracle healing method to ease my headaches, tension and stress. Then again, it could just leave me really, really hungry. Your mother was wrong. Sipping Campbell's chicken noodle when you were sick with the flu was a mistake. Eating the toast with a smidge of butter to set tie your stomach was prolonging the pain. If only you'd been told not to eat and instead try a health fast. It could have rid your body of the toxins and chemicals adding to your illness to quicken a recovery. Sound irrational? Not to the growing number of KU students trying the ancient method of cleansing. Fasting, despite ongoing controversy over its benefits, is gaining popularity at the University of Kansas. Marty Glenn, clinical dietician at Leavenworth's Veteran's Administration Eastern Kansas Health Care System, says fasting is a hot topic that more and more students in his KU nutrition class are asking about. He says the holistic alternative lifestyle of fasting draws students to the idea. Hal Sears, wellness manager at the Community Mercantile Co-op, has spent 25 years in the health product industry. Sears says in the past few years, he's seen a wild expansion in supplements, products and customer requests for all things fasting, Pills, cleansers, fiber and pectin stock the shelves in the wellness section of The Merc at 901 Iowa. 6 2.17.0.1 Campbay Alexis Cullerton, Chicago senior, says fasting is her answer for better health. Cullerton uses week-long fasts that gradually work her down from light solid foods to a day of only water. She says her usual stress aches and pains disappear and the fast energizes her mind and body. ... To doctors who see fasting as an extreme diet, the authenticity of Cullerton's claim is up for debate. Cullerton, however, swears to the benefits of her fasts. "By day three, I wake up on top of the world," she says. "I appreciate every sensation — even my pants sitting on my hips." Plagued with headaches and muscle pain, Cullerton says she didn't want a medical solution that simply handed her more prescriptions. She wanted a way to get the junk out of her system without adding. She researched online, talked with a dietician, and eventually decided on her gradual detox fast because she considered it doable, yet also a challenge. Cullerton's first fast didn't blow her away with energy. The increased oomph was there, but not in the monumental proportions she was hoping for. After a few more trials, however, she felt the difference. "It's so hard to explain, but something just takes over you, and suddenly there's this energy you never had before," she says. December 3rd, 10 a.m.: I never knew it before this fast, but the Dillons on 23rd Street has a juice aisle that baffles. Really. I felt so dated picking up the OJ I came for that I grabbed a jug of mango-papaya. I hate to admit it, but I felt almost smug checking out. Eyeing the carts of anonymous shoppers in front and back of me, I felt certain I was the healthiest in the line. 11 a.m.: Back from the store and I'm getting a bit hungry. Two glasses of this mango-papaya juice, and I'll be ready for new-found energy. For Darren Welch, Tonganoxie junior, fatigue wasn't a factor. Welch jumped into a 30-day all-water fast last summer. One day he was dining on Burrito King and the next it was liquids only. It was not what his research recommended, but he was too excited to start. I am trying to stay objective; this trial has to keep some sort of journalistic base. For all I know I could be fidgety and exhausted by the end of the day. I've read that the first day is the worst when detoxifying. Cullerton considers fatigue when she fasts. She uses her seven-day routine so she can continue to juggle class and two jobs. Welch says a summer of feeling sluggish, sick and depressed left him needing a change. He searched the University's online health journals and became wrapped up in the detoxification studies he found. After reading that humans were the only mammals that didn't fast when ill, he was sold. Welch told himself he had to be 99 percent committed — just enough that if things got bad, he wouldn't let his pride interfere. He says his first few days of hunger pains were the worst; irritation and headaches came and went. But after five days something changed — he stopped thinking about food. Day 10 gave Welch a feeling hard to describe. "I imagine taking a crap, running a mile, and drinking a Red Bull. That's the kind of refreshment and energy I got," he says. December 3, 10:30 p.m.: I chugged juice throughout the day. I'm not one for deprivation and I'd like to somehow include fasting in that outlook. I wonder if I'm detracting from the possible detox healing benefits by constantly sipping on Minute Maid? It's late and I should be hungry. This is my first day without solids since I was sick with the flu last year. Strang last year. Strange, but today wasn't so hard. I could actually feel every drop of the last glass of juice I drank on my tongue. Maybe I'm finally appreciating what I'm eating, instead of just taking whatever's in front of me. Philip Stevens, a Tonganoxie physician for 48 years, says there's a name for what people feel while fasting: euphoria. Stevens says the body starts using up natural fats and tissues to replace the void of usual nutrients. Fasters become addicted to the sensations their bodies give out while trying to find new places to burn energy, he says. Patricia Denning, internal medicine specialist at Watkins Health Center, says benefits people see from fasting are delusions of good health. Denning says she hasn't read any scientific literature or research attributing health benefits to fasting and what fasters really experience is simply a placebo effect. Marty Glenn has a dietician's explanation for claims of increased energy and metabolism. He says weight loss accounts for boosts in energy. In other words, having less weight to drag around makes fasters feel a little bouncier. Glenn says this lighter, energy-filled perception leads to the mental image of better health. Dena Thomas, Hays freshman, says weight loss wasn't a factor in her fast. Thomas tried a 28-day juice fast over the summer to feel healthier and get rid of junk-food eating habits. She says her diet thinned down, but not her body. She didn't notice dropping a pound. Thomas says she did experience slight headaches in the beginning,but they passed after a week. She noticed reduced tension in her head and shoulders soon after. Stevens doesn't attribute that to the wonders of fasting. "Dizziness, fatigue, headaches — those are all signs from your body that something's wrong," he says. "And what's wrong is that when you're fasting, your body starts eating itself." December 4, 9:15 a.m.: Day two. I just woke up to the smell of the omelet my roommate is making. It's cold and gray outside, and a hot omelet sounds perfect. Maybe if I stuck it in the blender I could justify it as juice-like. Time for the first glass of the day. Better pour this one tall; I'm starting to feel some real hunger pains. I highlighted some of the warnings HealthWorld gives to second-day juice fasters: headaches, irritability and fatigue. I'm trying to think energizing thoughts, but it's a steep walk up the hill and I have no cheap cappuccino waiting for me at the top. At the Merc, Sears endorses a four-day fast. He says he frequently recommends detoxification and advises his customers to change their mindset when fasting. Sears says to keep it simple and think of it as a feast, not a fast. You're feasting on juices and fasting on what's making you feel rundown, he says. Glenn says although he's seen a rise in interest in fasting, he doubts many doctors currently recommend it. "Most doctors are still pretty conservative and think what they learned in school is gospel," he says. "They'll tell you what they know — tangible numbers and statistics." Why don't we know more? Denning says it's because no large corporations want to take the funding risk. The number of methods, plans and kinds of fasting create a barrier as well. With so many different ways to approach the research, even companies with the backing wouldn't know where to start, she says. 2018.04 Jumbo 7 December 4, 8 p.m.: I called my mother tonight and told her about the juice. She said she's glad I'm an adult now and she can no longer be3 held responsible for my decision-making. That's fine. I credit her decision-making for my grade school "baby fat". Late into day two and I'm still headache free, although the irritability and fatigue predictions were fairly insightful. I fell asleep in class today even after slamming cranberry juice before I went. I'm repeating ridiculous mantras like "nothing is as sweet as nothing". I think my roommate is purposely cooking she never cooks to destroy any illusions of food apathy. 'We are in a country where there is food everywhere you turn,where fasting is, I have not eaten in two hours.' I don't remember seeing paranoia on the HealthWorld's list, but I'll look again. Peter Granitz, Wauwatosa, Wis., junior, says that besides the health industry, people are skeptical of fasting because it deviates from the norm. Granitz understands why the perception exists. He comes from a family that thinks if you you're not finishing your plate of comfort food, you must be sick. A mirror for many families, his views fasting as bizarre because they just can't imagine why someone wouldn't want to eat, and how that could be healthy, he says. Abdul-Salam says she doesn't get the connection between over-consumption and a disproval of fasting. Kuwait, a country composed primarily of Muslims, also obsesses over food she says. She backs this with reports she read stating that Kuwait is the second most obese country in the world and one of its McDonald's sold,a record number of Happy Meals last year. It's now the most successful in the world. Cullerton says she thinks doctors perpetuate a negative viewpoint of fasting. This might sound like a conspiracy-theory, but doctors don't just make diagnosis—they make prescriptions," she says. "Where's the money in telling someone that it's okay to fast?" Denning argues just the opposite. She says patients come to Watkins expecting a prescription. If they don't get one, they think their illness isn't getting the attention it deserves. Without an antibiotic or drug, people think they're paying for nothing. I don't know if I'll make it on only juice today. It feels like I have nothing to look forward to.I'm out of mango-papaya, and the University's vending machine selection is no Dillons thrill ride. 2023.10.15 December 5, 7:45 a.m.: Day three. I feel as if I'm doing something very intense here. I woke up shaky and a little light-headed. One detox Web Site said that besides cleaning your body, fasting encourages you to cleanse other parts of your life as well. So I've decided to take the 15 minutes I usually spend on breakfast cleaning my room. It also said that because you're ridding the body of toxins, deodorant isn't necessary. I've decided to objectively disregard that. It does feel like I'm thinking sharply and I feel a good amount of energy for the day. It's just a game of willpower now. And health, of course. A faster also brings a certain amount of skepticism to the typical bountiful table. Where do we draw the line between fasting and eating disorder? Welch and Cullerton both see a clear difference between their lifestyles and a disorder. Welch says he never fasted to lose weight, and if he had called it a diet, it wouldn't have been possible to accomplish. He says to truly fast you have to draw from more than your body image. Cullerton sees fasting as the exact opposite of an eating disorder. She says her fasts allow her to stay in tune with her body's needs and create a healthier outlook when she goes back to eating regularly. Welch says despite the increasing popularity and approval of fasting for health, he doesn't see fasting becoming more than "alternative medication" anytime soon. At this point, I think we're a long way from widespread acceptance," Welch says. "And I think it's going to take more research and a serious change in mindset before we get there." Glenn says while he remains unsure whether fasting truly heals or simply offers a placebo effect, he doesn't think it causes harm to most people. This excludes pregnant women and people with diabetes. He recommends that a physician monitor all long-term fasts). If done properly, with plenty of liquids and on a time frame no longer than 30 days, Glenn endorses the positive feelings, if not the concrete evidence of healing. Denning and Stevens, on the other hand, won't be recommending fasting to their patients until solid research says it isn't harmful. Denning says she wouldn't feel comfortable telling a patient to try something that she doubts herself, and Stevens says he will continue to prescribe eating over what he labels "slow starvation." Cullerton says she'll continue her fasts, with or without scientific endorsement. "Fasting works for my body," she says. "Whether a doctor supports it or not is irrelevant to me." December 5, 5 p.m.: It's day three and I'm not drinking juice. I'm crunching my way through a bag of banana trial mix and enjoying every second. The three-day juice fast was a poor demonstration of my willpower, but I can't say it sways my belief in the students who fast and feel healthier. They have a motivation I lack, and whether their results are merely placebos or scientifically sound, the feeling of better health is real enough for them. I'm two hours off my juice fast and it's time for some solid food. It won't be Taco Bell or McDonald's tonight. After two-and-a-half days of juice, I'm easing into something simple, fresh. Maybe a salad. After all, there's my health to think about. — Marissa Stephenson can be reached at mstephenson@kansan.com .

Our relationship is great, but he is always looking at porn. We have awesome sex,but I still catch him masturbating to magazines and occasionally movies. Is there something wrong with me, or what? Amanda, Senior Elizabeth: I'd say that's a legitimate concern, but it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you. You need to have a conversation with him about his "porn interest", and don't hesitate to tell him exactly what you think about his behavior. This talk may allow you to discuss your sex life and perhaps make it more fulfilling. **Chris:** What kind of porn is it? Maybe the porn he likes has something your sex life doesn't. Take a look at his porn stash when he's not around and try to figure out the missing pieces. If the porn is full of wild positions or toys, try surprising him with the real thing next time you do it. QA I just started dating this girl, but she has tons of guy friends. I'm sure she likes me, but it still makes me a little nervous. *our thoughts? --Jason, Freshman Elizabeth: Damn right you should be nervous! "Guy friends" are just guys trying to get into her pants! **Chris:** Maybe Elizabeth is right, but some girls just make friends with guys more easily. It doesn't mean she sleeps with them, but their personalities click better. But don't become friends with them. Be polite and friendly when you all are out together, but don't start calling them to hang out, because if she has to choose between them or you, you're done. 8A --- My roommate doesn't smoke the herb like the rest of our friends. And he gets mad when we take it up in our apartment. I don't mind smoking outside or in the car, but during the winter I want to smoke in our apartment. What should I do? -Joa, Junior Chris: Why are you living with this guy? Ask him why he doesn't want you to smoke inside. If it's an odor issue, buy some Ozium and light some scented candles. Or just agree to not smoke inside. But I would still smoke inside when he's not around. If he ever catches you just say you must have been stoned when you said you wouldn't smoke inside, because you have no idea what he's talking about! Elizabeth:Respect your roommate and don't smoke inside. and you are ready. Dark Heart ROSIEL The fatal beginnings, strange rituals and common gifts of Valentine's Day By Elizabeth Marvel, Jayplay writer Our story begins with a Catholic bishop named Valentine who unlawfully married couples around A.D. 270. Emperor Claudius of Rome decided that married men made horrible warriors, so he banned marriage to make his army more powerful. Even though Valentine heard Claudius' decree, he continued to marry loving couples. When Claudius discovered Valentine's treachery, he sentenced the saint to death by stoning and beheading. Not so romantic now, eh, Valentine? This is just the beginning of the history of Valentine's Day, a holiday surrounded by mystery. Richard Kay, KU professor of history, says the stories of Saint Valentine are legends, and no one knows the truth behind the holiday. It's rumored that while in jail, Valentine fell in love with the jailer's blind daughter. History writer Jerry Wilson says that Valentine's love supposedly cured her blindness, and before his death he wrote her the first valentine, signing it, "From your Valentine." After that day, Roman men used the holiday commemorating Saint Valentine's death to give their loved ones letters and tokens of affection. Though many think Valentine's Day is celebrated in the middle of February because of Saint Valentine, other scholars think it was the Catholic Church's attempt to "christianize" the ancient Roman pagan fertility festival of Lupercalia. According to the History Channel's website, www.historychannel.com, Lupercalia began as a festival honoring Faunus, the god of agriculture, and Rome's founders, Romulus and Remus. On Lupercalia, a group of Roman priests would gather at the cave where Romulus and Remus were supposedly raised by a female wolf, Lupa. The priests would sacrifice goats for fertility and dogs for purification. Then they would cut up the goat's hide, slather the pieces in sacrificial blood and go around town, slapping women and fields of crops with the hides to increase their fertility. The festival had other strange traditions. All unmarried young women put their names in a large urn, and bachelors of the city chose a name. The women they chose were their mates for the next year. Though many of these pairings resulted in marriage, the system was eventually banned. Skip forward to the 18th century. While the people of Great Britain didn't pick their mates from a jar, they did begin giving each other love notes around this time. Toward the end of the century printing improvements allowed for pre-printed valentines, making valentines an economical way to show one's love. Americans began celebrating Valentine's Day at about the same time as the British. American cards were at first handmade, but printing presses soon caught up and were mass-producing valentines by the mid-1800s. Today, people exchange valentines every February 14. So, It's two days until Valentine's Day. Do you have a gift for your sweetie? If not, two easy and romantic options for last-minute shoppers are roses and chocolate — things your significant other will swoon over. Roses are one of the most popular gifts for Valentine's Day. At Englewood Florist, 1101 Massachusetts St., owner Susan Engle says they sell 8,000 to 9,000 roses on Valentine's Day. On an average day, Engle has only about 400 roses in the store. Engle says roses are special because they used to be available only at certain times a year. The tradition of giving this unique flower at the beginning of rose season has continued today. "They make the person feel special and happy," Engle says of the flowers typically associated with romance. "It's the only time of year some people give and receive flowers." So, you say she's allergic to flowers? Give another romantic gift: chocolates. At Russell Stover's, 1300 West 23rd St., Valentine's season makes up 20 percent of their yearly profits. Store manager Carole Morgan says this year's Valentine's Day order was over 10,000 boxes of chocolate, and she says it's popularity comes from the idea that chocolate is "an aphrodisiac. It's a luxury item — you don't get chocolate every day." Morgan says. "It's a very romantic gift." In the spirit of Valentine's Day, Manual shows you how to make chocolates for your valentine. Surely you'll get some lovin' for all your hard work and romantic thought. — Elizabeth Marvel can be reached at emarvel@kansan.com Photo: Megan True Do-it-Yourself Chocolate Truffles Courtesy of Midwest Living Ingredients: - 12 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped ·1/4 cup whipping cream *1/4 cup sifted unsweetened cocoa powder or 1/3 cup finely chopped almonds, pecans or walnuts. Make it: 1. Put chocolate in a saucepan. In another saucepan, heat the cream until it just starts to boil. Stir cream frequently. 2. Pour the cream over the chocolate, cover the pan and let it stand for three to four minutes until the chocolate melts. 3. Stir until blended. 4. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled. 5. Drop by spoonfuls on to a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Cover and refrigerate for one hour. 6. Roll each piece of candy into a ball, then roll in cocoa powder or chopped nuts. 7. Serve at room temperature. HOW TO: While ice covers the ground and the blistering wind howls through the streets of Lawrence, it's important to maintain the heater in your house. John White, operations manager at Cloud Heating and Air Conditioning Co., has some tips so you don't sleep nights without heat. — Make sure you understand the thermostat. The thermostat works like a light switch. This means that the temperature reading on the dial does not correspond with the temperature inside your home. The reading on the dial reveals what temperature you desire your abode to be. Thermostats are designed to be left on in their automatic mode, without being turned off and on. Continuous energy flow allows them to work at their best potential. The thermostat is an extremely fragile piece of equipment with highly sensitive meters. Beating your appliance into submission does not apply in the world of heating gadgets. Replace the vent filters regularly. Inspect the door panels on the heater. Models built within the past five to 10 years have doors that prevent noxious fumes from releasing in the living quarters. If the doors are not shut properly, sensors prevent the heater from turning on. — If nothing works, White says to check the circuit breaker and reset the system in the electric panel. Older houses in the "student ghetto" district of Lawrence have fuses, which need to be replaced if they blow out. - if problems persist, call your landlord or a repirman. "I don't recommend the average person to start monkeying around with the equipment," White says, "or else it causes future problems for the repairman."

It's a kid who's supposed to be good." His office is peaceful and hip. Incense burning in the back of the room and the sound of electronic jazz set the mood for Jesse Jackson, CEO of Afrodisiac, a national promotions and artists agency collective run by former KU students and promotion wiz kids. The company handles artists from New York, Kansas City and other major cities. It books any kind of show —from live presentations of the Rocky Horror Picture Show to Reggae celebrations, from mega-rave parties to hip hop gigs. The beauty of Afrodisiac is that it is not here to solely make money. "You just hope that you have more events where you make money and less where you loose money," Jackson says. "That's the way this business works." Afrodisiac aims to change the way business works in the music industry which is apparent after chatting for Jackson on topics like selling your soul to the music industry, civil rights or capitalism. "If artists are honest, if they haven't looked at a bunch of hipster magazines and trained themselves to say the right things and wear the right clothes, then we will talk about a commitment," Jackson says. The array of artists that members of Afrodisiac have collaborated with is sure to make orated with is sure to make any promoter drool. From OutKast to soul-brother number one James Brown, these guys are not joking when they talk business. It was January 2002 when Lawrence first heard the name Afrodisiac. In May 2003, the company, which was Jackson's idea, was officially registered. Jackson wanted to form a company where artists and promoters worked together in both parties' best interest. At Aphrodisiac, everyone has input and everyone puts forth effort. Jackson works closely with Kyle Nelson, administrator and artist recruiter, and five other former KU students in a small white house on Tennessee Street. Afrodisiac is a collective because it works with other promotion companies, artists and investors to bring the best shows to life. It never competes with other companies. The difference is evident in Afrodisiac's flyers. "You'll see that all the promo companies are there. We recognize the collectiveness. We get everyone in the community involved." Jackson savs. Edwin Morales, the man that brought Project Groove and several other events to Lawrence with his company, Downplay, says Downplay and Afrodisiac work perfectly with each other. "For the Limited Liability Tour we had to work together with DJ P and it was quality all around," he says. Morales also thinks Afrodisiac is working in a different way. He says he likes its approach to the business, but also recognizes that it's just putting a label on Afrodisiac's business ethics. He says Downplay's business ethics are similar because it has nobody else to rely on when it comes to throwing a local event. Sometimes being too nice means having an artist show Afrodisiac how naive it is. The company has had legal problems in the past, mostly because artists are used to working in a framework of fierce capitalism. "In this industry people think that you have to do anything to succeed," Nelson says. Jackson does not deal with artists who take this approach. "If I'm the thing you're stepping over to get there, I'm done with you," he says. Sometimes it's not an artist, but a show that fails. Timing was a problem at the Halloween Extravaganza show, for example, as the show was booked one day before Halloween. But even in difficulty, the guys at Afrodisiac have a good time. "You don't feel bad when you loose money in a good show," Jackson says. "We do stuff that people wouldn't do because it's risky, but we have the resources." For local events, Afrodisiac gets most of its resources from an alliance with promoter guru Jeff Fortier. "We could never do the events we do in Lawrence without Jeff," Nelson says. The rest of the money comes from commissions or arrangements with clubs or artists. In addition to investing in the artist, Afrodisiac has to pay for advertising, marketing, flyers, distribution, equipment, sound and lights, insurance and security. When the good times roll, however, they really roll. Afrodisiac has had very successful shows like the two packed Wailer's concerts at Abe and Jake's and Reggae legend Burning Spear at The Bottleneck, to name a few.Jackson says Afrodisiac loves to do shows in Lawrence because of the rich music culture. "Lawrence is a touring premier spot. Name any artist and the odds are they have played here," Jackson says. The future could be tough for Afrodisiac as the music industry focuses more and more on the money machine instead of talent. But Jackson said this is what makes the business so sweet for them. "We want to infect the market with healthy ways of doing business, basic human rights and human treatment," Jackson says.

Fidelity. Estrangement. Are these emotions simply an illusion or is there a greater illusion, of love? No subject is more enduring than love, which is at the forefront of the 1639 domestic comedy L'Illusion Comique by Pierre Corneille. Which is why more than three and a half centuries later this theatrical production still has life. The adaptation of this play by Tony Kushner, the Pulitzer Prize-winner and author of the knockout Broadway hit Angels in America, comes to Kansas City starting Feb. 12 at the H&R Block City Stage Theatre inside Union Station, 30 West Pershing Road in Kansas City, MO. The Illusion is a story that, at its heart, reveals the trials of a father attempting to find his estranged son. The father visits a magician to help in his search, and the magician reveals to him scenes from the son's life. Director Risa Brainin says keeping a delicate balance between the comedic nature of the play and the weighty issues that exist in the story is the most challenging part of the production. "We're striving to keep the air of the piece light, yet still get through all of the layers of the language," she says. Brainin is the artistic director of Shakespeare Santa Cruz and director of this production, which features the UMKC Department of Theatre Master of Fine Arts program. Brainin says Kushner's version is set in the 17th century, as is the original work, but the language has a contemporary flavor while remaining poetic. "The look at love has a contemporary sensibility," she adds. Brainin finds more joy in directing while working with a training program such as the UMKC Department of Theatre. Brainin says she enjoys working with training programs because the goal is simply doing the play well. "It's not about pressure of making a living at theatre," she says. "The ambition is to hone skills and become better actors and stage managers." - Jessica Chapman can be reached at jchapman@kansan.com The Illusion runs Feb. 12-29 at the H&R Block City Stage Theatre in Union Station, 30 W. Pershing Rd. in Kansas City.

Movies The Butterfly Effect fuse presents the CRYSTAL METHOD with dj hype Grade:D Amy Smart plays her character, Kaley, with dexterity. From a sorority girl to a prostitute, she cap The Big Bounce Grade: C > In America PG 13, 103 minutes, Liberty Hall The title promises an epic tale, but Jim Sheridan's lovingly detailed portrait of an Irish immigrant family is more a movie of small moments than big proportions. It's like a soothing bedtime story put to relatio. To complement his archidame wonder with this story, Sheridan largely uses the point of view of Christy (Sarah Bolder) as her sister, Ariel (Emma Bolger), befriended an artist dying of AIDS named Mateo (Dunion Hounsou). The girls' parents, Sarah (Samantha Morton) and Johnny (Patty Considine), attempt to reconcile the accidental death of a thirteen sibling that happened back in Ireland. In America wants us to share in the family's triumphs and tragedies. There's a revealing and sus-penseful scene where Johnny risks blowing the family's entire savings at Coney Island. Moments like this are affecting, but Sheridan sketches his characters rather than developing the plot fully, effectively closing us off when he wants to draw us in. Emma Bolger is alone worth the price of admission as the hilariously inquisitive Ariel. And what do I know?

FRIDAYS & KARAOKE SATURDAYS 811 NEW HAMPSHIRE LAWRENCE, KS C KJPLAY KJHK 90.7 The Forms Icarus Mason Jennings Use Your Voice The Forms is a three-man band hailing from Brooklyn that has come into the spotlight after only a few years. Its debut album, Icarus, is a scant seven songs topping off at 18 minutes, but you will spend most of those minutes in listening enjoyment. Critics have called The Forms indie rock and compared it to musicians such as Sunny Day Real Estate. It may be indie rock, but it's indie rock with class. The album has highs and lows. It is not entirely catchy popular indie rock, such as The Strokes, but it does have those moments. Grade: B- - Collin LaJoie, KJHK DJ 2 p.m.to 4 p.m. Fridays The album is an amalgam of indie rock guitar riffs, electronic mixing and even classical influences. A piano shows up throughout the album, sometimes unexpectedly. Plus, the album is an enhanced CD that contains various artistic photographs. All in all, it's a decent indie rock album. Dizzee Rascal Boy In Da Corner Running the rut of singer songwriters Jenning's is pretty good at what he does. In his fourth album, Use Your Voice, Mason uses his skill for songwriting and sentimental and poetic lyricism to present a solid album. At the same time, the album doesn't pursue anything new, which translates into a bland product. Sadly for Jennings there are too many people doing the same thing, which makes it hard for an acoustic singer/songwriter to break from the pack. Although the first track, titled "Crown," is a definite highlight, the rest of the album quickly hits a rut of Dylan-patent folk songs. Overall Jennings presents an album that while not bad, is typical. Grade: C Brent Stevens, Host of "Focus" 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesdays Hip-hop music is perceived as an overwhelmingly American genre because of its birth in the Bronx and the tendency of the average fan to ignore its worldwide ramifications and the forms it has taken elsewhere. Dizzee Rascal has come to flip that perspective. On a diet of "Ninja bikes, gun fights and scary nights," the 18-year-old Brit is dropping the "soccer" from in front of "hooligan" and taking patrons on a tour of London that fellow UK artist Mike Skinner could never even imagine. Dizzee's flow is undeniably fresh, the youth in his voice buried by experience and hunger. Almost every track gets burst bloody rhyme-wise, but the beats often lack character or cohesion. Exceptions include the Billy Squierjacking "Fix Up, Look Sharp." All said though, Mr. Rascal is officially a force. Prepare to expand your horizons. Grade: B- — Phil Torpey "Breakfast for Beatlovers" 9 a.m. to noon, Tuesdays Kolis Tasty Kelis' latest album, Tasty, is musical sweetness on a whole new level. While the pseudo-divas of pop battle for market share, it is evident that Kelis' struggle is one of both personal and creative proportions. Though at times the album comes off as too playful, lighthearted and sexdriven, Kelis' talent cannot be suppressed. She's got a voice that can carry an opera. The Neptunes and several of the industry's hottest sonic technicians, including Andre 3000 of OutKast and Raphael Saadiq, labor brilliantly to make sure that she puts that voice to good use. She does not seem to be consumed with the glamour of pop life or with the multiple dramas of an R&B queen, and her music is all the better for it. Colorful, funky and delightfully naughty, Tasty is a fine album. For those looking for an alternative to melancholy rock and the flashy shimmer of pop, Kelis serves up a worthy indulgence. BG naming session Grade: B- 12 Cornelius Minor, Host of "Voice Activated" 7p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursdays Radiohead Singles from the album Hail to the Thief Constantly slipping through the fingers of musicians everywhere are those unreleased tracks from their latest albums that for some reason didn't make it onto the album. Most bands try to capitalize on them by releasing them with other, previously released songs, on singles. Unfortunately,the mass populous usually overlooks or dismisses these tracks, so it is up to fans to bring them to light. Radiohead is notorious for throwing unreleased tracks out in the most obscure places. There are so many tracks released around the world, but not in the United States, that Americans are missing out on some of the best Radiohead ever. Radiohead has released at least five singles from its most recent album, Hail to the Thief: "2+2=5 Parts I and II," "Go to Sleep Parts I and II," and "There, There. Most of the previously unreleased tracks are imports and are amazing, though some are inevitably doubtful. The most questionable of these is probably Chilean-born Christian Vogel's remix of "Myxomatosis," humorously named "Remyxomatosis." Vogel is a leader in experimental electronic music in England and across Europe, but his interpretation of Radiohead is weak at best. "Myxomatosis" already has an edgy, grinding electronic feel to it and Vogel takes it too far. His sounds and samples are respectable, but his beats and use of lead singer Thom York's crooning vocals puts an end to this song. Along with Vogel's mix on the first 2+2=5 single is the first recorded demo of "There, There." This demo version is obviously not a good as the album version, but it is interesting to hear how they changed the song for the album. The other electronic singles are superb. Possibly the best, from 2+2=5, is a remix of "Scatterbrain" by the experimental genius Four Tet. Not only does the remix stay very true to the original song, but it gives it so many more levels and so much more depth. It is beautiful. The "There, There" single has two more songs that lean toward the electronic persuasion, both done by Radiohead. "Paperbag Writer" and "Where Bluebirds Fly" are dense electronic compositions, reminiscent of some of the tracks on Amnesiac. They're fairly mellow and add a lot of depth to the sound. --- One of the greatest things about Radiohead is that though its sound may have changed and incorporated more electronic elements, the members stay true to their roots in rock. The second "Go to Sleep" single has two of the best acoustic Radiohead songs ever. "I am a Wicked Child" has a gritty record sound that almost has a country twang to it, not surprising for Radiohead. "Gagging Order" is straight acoustic, and amazing. As the name, and the lyrics, suggest, this song is a social commentary, which also is not surprising. This song is awe-inspiring. Usually the hardcore fans are the ones to find these jewels, but sometimes these tracks are as good as, if not better than, the tracks on the albums themselves. You don't have to be a diehard fan to check out some really good music. executively) A n LaJoie, KJHK DJ 4 p.m. Fridays "AS HOT AS EVER!

Spawn: Armageddon is a good action game for the PlayStation2 and is much needed after Spawn's previous game for the PlayStation, Spawn: The Eternal. While I never played The Eternal, I heard from other gamers that it was one of the worst titles ever created. However, the Arcade to Dreamcast game Spawn: In the Demon's Hands, was a great game to play with a friend. The game begins with Spawn contemplating his fate on a rooftop when a green blast suddenly blows him backwards. He must go and find out what caused this, and his search leads him to places around his city, into hell and even where the angels work. The game's graphics are decent, but I did come across glitch in the game when I got stuck behind a fence when trying to get a bonus item. The game play is similar to the Spider-Man platform games. You go around and fight enemies to reach the end of the stage. Since Spawn's feature in SoulCalibur 2, the designers thought it would be good if Spawn kept his ax, Agony, for his performance in Armageddon. Virtual On: Marz Spawn: Armageddon is a good game with a good storyline and the gameplay isn't hard to understand, but it really doesn't have much replay value. It says that to get the complete story you must beat it on all difficulties, but I found it hard to play through it again. SPAWN ARMAGEDDON Virtual On: Marz is a solid game filled with high-speed, mech-battling action. The combat style keeps it with the tradition of the Virtual On predecessors. The ability to change the control formats to the classic arcade version is a great plus for advance players of the series. One of the great pluses to Virtual On: Marz is the actual storyline that is presented to the Virtualoid world. You are part of a military unit assigned to assist with an ongoing struggle in space. You undertake missions such as protecting military bases, destroying enemy cargo trains or just simply destroying enemy Virtualoids. In one mission it's up to you to save a military sergeant while fighting off a giant Virtualoid. The missions get more difficult as you go along, but the premise is the same for each level. When you find an enemy, it's up to you or you and your partner Virtualoid to destroy them. The briefing for each mission is a great feature to the game because it makes you feel like you have a purpose for completing the mission. As you progress, the missions have higher levels of conspiracy. Virtual On: Marz is another great game from the Virtual On world. As the series ages, it does nothing but get better by adding features to an already great series. Playin' Around Grade: A By: Chris Moore DragonBall Z Budoukai 2 DragonBall Z returns to the PlayStation2 for another round of fighting saving the world. Yet, DragonBall Z Budoukai 2 lacks a few things from it's original. In this installment, you assume the role of Goku and work your way to defeat the maniacal Majin Buu. However, the story mode gameplay doesn't have the same strengths it did in the first Budoukai. In the first one, you went through the entire DragonBall Z series up to the end of the Cell Saga. In Budoukai 2, you play a storyline that is somewhat similar to the series but with a lot of modifications. The absence of in-game movies takes away from some of it as well. One great feature presented in the game is the inclusion of characters not really seen the in the DragonBall Z world. The people of Funimation decided to add more Fusion characters into the line up to make it a more interesting game. The use of button combinations makes it more difficult to putting in devastating moves. One example is using the Fusion Technique, where one wrong button will cause an improper fusion, which weakens your character. DragonBall Z Budoukai 2 is a good game. The graphics are better than the first one, yet the gameplay of the story mode to a heavy hit and fell off a little. It is a good fighting game to play with friends. Grade: B PlayStation® 100 》 26 Joapley BM2.04 JAMES Dropping out to tune in illustration: Scott Drummond By Mike Bauer, Jayplay writer Over winter break, New Year's Eve in a friend's basement to be specific, I was finishing a bottle of Korbel champagne when my friend told me she was frustrated with college. I poured myself more champagne from the now near-empty bottle in a last ditch effort of reaching inebriation. She poured her soul out, admitting she thought her major was a joke. Apparently her major is tourism and she wasn't sure whether she wanted to continue her current path at school or pick a different career. I found myself relating with my friend to some extent because I too am getting disinterested in my major. Although she had no interest in hers from the beginning and chose it as a backup in case her collegiate bowling career didn't work out, I chose journalism because that's all I could picture myself doing. Whether it's because I've burned out my desire to write or because I've shifted my interests elsewhere, I don't see myself being a writer as a lifetime career. I see it as a means to an end. It's something to do for a few years to earn money for myself and purchase equipment for my new interest: audio engineering and programming. chase equipment for my new interest. My friend and I have some differences in how we're approaching our last days of school. She said if she changed her career path, she would have no idea what she would want to do. I know what I want to do and thankfully, I don't need additional schooling to do it. Although I could go to graduate school to learn how to run audio recording software on a computer, I can learn how to use the software just as easily on a computer at home — the same type you use to type essays and download music and porn. I have no desire to drop more cash into a university and waste more time as a student making sure I have enough cash for tuition and bills, let alone trying to find work over breaks to pay those things off. These are things my friend would have to deal with for a few more years if she changed her mind about her major. I don't envy her. I will graduate in journalism because I'm so close to having a degree and I just want to get away from the unstable college tasks of managing time for various practices and projects, studying and writing articles. I look forward to the idea of working for a set amount of time each day, several days a week, and then coming home, paying bills, and doing whatever I want with my free time with no worries about finishing assignments for the next day or studying for a test over the weekend. Some stability would be a welcome change of pace. My friend, however, doesn't seem to want to get her degree in tourism and work in that field while figuring out what she really wants to do with her life. She would rather stop going to school to figure it out, further delaying her graduation date. This doesn't make sense to me. Instead of toughing it out and earning whatever tourism majors make, she wants to work at her job at O'Hare Airport in Chicago, which probably pays less than what she'd make doing whatever tourism majors do. If work is the inevitable result, why not take the one that can benefit you the most financially until you figure out what you want to do? As my friend finished telling her story and I finished drinking my last glass of champagne in my still-sober state, she turned to me and asked what I thought of her situation. After laying on the floor silent for a few seconds, I finally told her what I usually tell my friends when they have a dilemma and come to me for advice: Do what you think is right for you and makes you happiest. Take some time and think about what you want to do and where you want to be in your life. If my friend will be happiest just working without a degree, I won't say it's wrong. I don't agree with it, but I'm not living her life.

For the Olathe junior, Valentine's Day builds expectations. "It's a bunch of crap," Hassan said. "It's a commercial holiday when we're expected to spend money on others because we're expecting a gift." because we're super excited for some singles, Valentine's Day can be a reminder of how lonely a person actually is. More students now see the holiday as materialistic and feel obligated to give a gift if they are in a committed relationship. It's a reflection of the overall culture, said Toni Coleman, psychotherapist and expert in personal relationships. "It's become a hallmark holiday for our culture," Coleman said. "Where the idea has become the more money we spend reflects the amount of love we have for a person." It would be good if people actually exchanged meaningful gifts and rebelled against this materialist view of Valentine's Day, Coleman said. The Center for Counseling and Psychological Services has seen students with high expectations of Valentine's Day, said Frank DeSalvo, director for the center. "They think spending a lot of money will mend a troubled relationship, which is wrong." DeSalvo said. Coleman said Valentine's Day should be no different from any other day. "You shouldn't express your love for someone just because it's the thing to do on that day — that's meaningless," Coleman said. And for some men, they're happy they're not in a relationship come this time of year because of this materialist view. "I make fun of my roommate who has "It's a bunch of crap. It's a commercial holiday when we're expected to spend money on others because we're expecting a gift." Alia Hassan Olathe junior a girlfriend and has to buy her something." Ritchie Price said. "I'm glad it's not me buying the expensive gifts." For the San Louis Obispo, Calif., sophomore, being single on Valentine's Day doesn't bring the added pressures of finding a relationship. Women, by nature, are searching for more of a steady relationship. Coleman said Valentine's Day adds pressure for some to find a partner. Coleman said younger men aren't predominantly focused on starting a serious relationship or finding a future wife until their late 20s and early 30s. It's hard to get away from Valentine's Day symbolism, Coleman said, seeing all the commercials and other Valentine's Day reminders. For Hassan, the constant bombardment of Valentine commercials brings up some feelings of loneliness, but she never let's it get the best of her. Hassan plans on spending tomorrow night with three other single friends and heading out to the bars. Coleman recommends a single person in search of a partner start the journey by evaluating themselves. "Readiness for healthy, lasting love starts with each person as an individual," Coleman said. "The stages of developing an intimate relationship require availability, energy, focus, healthy sense of self and time." Illustration by Donovan Atkinson — Edited by Nikki Nugent Advising re-evaluated Survey results gave KUnited a new focus HAWK FOOTBALL Brent Carter/Kansan By Andy Marso amarso@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Platforms in action Every Friday the 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 third article in the series. Lisa Turner, Madison freshman, and Keval Shah, Brookfield, Ill., senior, looked over a calculus question yesterday in the hallway of Haworth Hall. Shah tutored Turner and this was their second meeting since the semester began. "I haven't got back any of my homework so far this semester so I am not sure how well I understand everything yet," Turner said. When KUnited conducted surveys before Student Senate elections last spring, tutoring and advising was consistently voted a top-five concern. The news wasn't what Catherine Bell expected. "We thought tutoring and advising were pretty strong at KU." Bell, student body vice president, said. "But obviously it was something students were concerned about." Accordingly, Bell and the other KUnited coalition members promised to work for online advising and lobby for affordable, widely available tutoring services. The page provides information tailored to each students' major, including what courses are required and what order they should be taken in. Bell said the service should be available to all students next semester, but traditional advising would continue. Since then online advising has become a reality for freshmen and sophomores. A link on their Blackboard accounts labeled "Major Information" sends them to a Web page created by the Freshman and Sophomore Advising Center. "We never had in mind that online advising would replace face-to-face advising, but rather supplement it when students don't have time to meet with their adviser." Bell said. Currently, the University offers tutoring through the Student Development Center and Supportive Educational Expanding the University's tutoring has been a slower process. Catherine Bell Student body vice president "We thought tutoring and advising were pretty strong at KU, but obviously it was something students were concerned about." Services, both located in Strong Hall. The Supportive Educational Services tutoring is open to students who come from certain backgrounds, specifically low-income households, families in which no older generations have attended four-year universities, or students with disabilities. All other students must go through the Student Development Center for tutoring. The center currently offers smallgroup tutoring in biology, chemistry physics, business, statistics, math and Spanish and costs $100 a semester. Senate is still working with administrators to get funding for more tutors for the center, but until then, a Senate tutoring program is serving as a stopgap. Bell said she and other senators met with staff from the center last spring to talk about expanding the number of courses available. She said the main obstacle was that the center didn't have the resources to hire more student employees to tutor. The program is a list of private tutors, mostly senators and former senators, who are matched up for one-on-one tutoring sessions with students who call the Senate Office. Tutors are available for 32 different subjects. Most of them tutor for a negotiable fee. The program was started by Michael Roessler in 2000 when the St. Louis senior was a senator. Roessler said he started it to provide a more flexible option to the Student Development Center, which requires a semester-long commitment. SEE ADVISING ON PAGE 7A Legislature considers wage increase By Ron Knox rknox@kansan.com Kansan staff writer "I'm a college student," the Lawrence freshman said. "It would mean everything." Now, a bill before the Legislature could increase the state minimum wage from $2.65 per hour to $7.50 per hour during a span of three years, affecting entry-level positions and serving jobs many college students work. Anderson makes $2.15 per hour, plus tips, to support herself in a place where the "cost of living is so expensive." For Alexis Anderson, a server at Molly McGee's, any little bit of money helps. Even a small raise in her hourly salary. According to the act, businesses that make more than $500,000 per year corporations such as Target and The federal minimum wage, $5.15 per hour, replaces the state minimum in businesses that fall under the Federal Fair Labor and Standards Act.

Associate professor Kevin Willmott's faux documentary C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America will be shown Sunday during the True/False Film Festival in Columbia, Mo. The festival will be the first of its kind in Columbia. The documentary-style film, which hypothesizes what America might be like if the South had won the Civil War, will play at the Blue Note Theatre. Willmott's film gained famed film maker Spike Lee, director of Do the Right Thing, as an executive producer during its run at January's Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. The film's reception at the festival gained the interest of distributors from the Independent Film Channel. The company bought distribution rights to the movie and plans to show it in theaters around the country soon. — Dave Nobles STATE Bill to unify state liquor laws fails because of split support TOPEKA — Senators defeated a bill to make the state's Liquor Control Act uniform yesterday, one day after stripping it of provisions allowing Sunday liquor sales and increasing taxes on alcohol. But they also ensured that the issue remains alive. The Senate voted 24-16 against giving the measure final passage and sending it to the House — after giving the measure first-round approval Wednesday night. Later, senators voted 18-15 to revive the measure and place it back on the chamber's debate calendar, where it will remain until leaders decide to bring it up again. A big sticking point in the legislation is Sunday sales, an issue that initially prompted the bill. Efforts to attach a tax increase to Sunday sales caused a split among supporters, some of whom say they can't vote for Sunday sales with a tax increase, and others who say they won't vote for it without one. Leader Anthony Hensley (D-Topeka). "There is a group of senators that wants Sunday sales, but they want quid pro quo on a tax increase. We're a long way away from having a compromise on this issue." "Now it's all mired in whether we increase the tax," said Senate Minority Hensley said he supports giving local communities the option to have Sunday sales. A Wyandotte County district judge ruled in March 2003 that the state's Liquor Control Act was non-uniform, meaning its provisions do not apply equally to all cities. That ruling was spurred by a November 2002 vote in Wyandotte County in which 60 percent favored Sunday sales.

Last Tuesday, the University Senate Executive Committee gave Student Senate the power to develop an honor code for all students. At yesterday's first University Council meeting of the year, Tim Miller, professor in religious studies, said faculty had a huge stake in this process. "The faculty is going to have a lot of interest," Miller said. "It will be a passionate issue." The tentative plan was for the sub-compete of students to develop an honor code. They would then collaborate with faculty to create a final version. But Miller said faculty involvement would take that step out. He said the University was drowning in committee involvement and faculty input in the beginning stages would quicken the process. Ray Davis, SenEx chairman. said if people expected students to take interest in the honor code, then it should start with students. He said if students didn't support what was started, then the efforts were futile. Sterner said the subcommittee didn't take a lot of action because it was waiting on what the council would say. Nick Sterner, Shawnee sophmore and student member of the council, said the Senate subcommittee for the honor code had already held its first meeting. "I think it has to be Senate first," Sterner said. "Students have to see their peers put this together to think it's legitimate." Student Body President Andy Knopp said he would have no problem with having faculty Sterner said the subcommittee was researching honor codes at other universities and compiling the findings. Annie Bernethy/Kansan Four students attended the first honor code meeting, and the subcommittee plans to meet again within the next two weeks. HOST SHELL ROUND ITS VULTURE NOW IT NEEDS A BODY members on the subcommittee. Edited by Kevin Flaherty Students relish deep aspects of anime Jeremy Lyman, Overland Park sophomore, is working on starting KU's first Anime Club. The first club meeting is set for February 27. By Samia Khan skhan@kansan.com Kansan staff writer While most children woke up for Saturday morning cartoons at about 10, Jeremy Lyman was up at dawn to watch anime. When he was 11, he started every Saturday morning at 6 with the Sci-Fi channel. It started as a Saturday morning cartoon ritual, but now Lyman appreciates Anime for its deeper qualities. "Japanese anime is more than just a cartoon like Spongebob Squarepants," Lyman said. "It's almost like reading a novel. It deals with real issues." Lyman, Overland Park sophomore, started the first anime club at the University of Kansas in several years. He thought of the idea last November. In December, he registered the club as a student organization and designed a Web site. Lyman and a few friends are in the initial stages of organizing the club and telling other interested anime fans. They are planning the club's first anime movie screening for the end of February. Seven people are in the club after its first month of existence. After finalizing and promoting more meetings and events, Lyman is expecting the club to grow to 50 members or more. He said he had already met new people by spreading news about the club. "It's something I like to do in my spare time, so I thought it was a great way to make friends," he said. Lyman tries to get some of his uninterested friends to watch anime with him. He introduced his girlfriend to the genre, and now she has been helping him organize the club. Emily Carpenter, Overland Park freshman, said she learned a lot about Japanese culture from Lyman and hoped the club got bigger. "At first it was hard for me to get into, but now I'm a big fan of anime." Carpenter said. Some of Lyman's friends remain skeptical about anime. He said it wasn't that his friends didn't like it, but that they didn't take it seriously and considered it children's entertainment. the misconceptions and show their social relevance. Lyman tries to get his friends to recognize that anime and Japanese comics can cater to their interests. "If people come and see anime more, they can understand the culture better," he said. "In Japan, there's a comic for anything, from sewing to chair repair." Lyman said. Edited by Guillaume Doane Lyman said he became serious about anime in high school when his interest in Japanese culture and language grew. The films he likes have a cultural relevance and deal with social issues, he said. One of his favorites is a film called Ocean Waves in which a young girl in 1960s Tokyo deals with family problems and big city life. She moves to the country to escape Tokyo society and joins As the popularity of anime has grown, Lyman said he had heard every criticism, including "anime is just cartoon porn." He said the films he wanted his club to promote would take people beyond Former official wins journalism award By Rupal Gor rgor@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The presentation of the William Allen White Medallion will be today at 1:30 p.m. at Woodruff Auditorium on Level 5 of the Kansas Union. Fitzwater will speak at the presentation after an introduction from Harry E. Valentine Jr., chairman of the William Allen White Foundation. Former press secretary to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, Marlin Fitzwater, has been chosen to receive the William Allen White Foundation citation. The medal is an award that goes to someone who shares William Allen White's ideals and shows excellence as a journalist. Valentine said Fitzwater was an outstanding press secretary and an honorable person to receive the citation. Like White, past award recipients were professionals from the news gathering side including Cokie Roberts, congressional analyst for ABC news, and Arthur Sulzerburger Jr., publisher of The New York Times. Fitzwater's most notable achievements have come from his work in public relations, but he started his career working for Kansas newspapers. Born near Abilene, Fitzwater grew up to become the editor of the Lindsborg News-Record and "I really think ne enjoyed those 10 years having information so readily available to him." Melinda Fitzwater Wife of Marlin Fitzwater worked for The Manhattan Mercury and The Topeka Daily Capital. Fitzwater was the only person to be press secretary to two presidents and was the voice of the 26-nation coalition to Americans during the Persian Gulf War. In six years, he gave more than 850 press briefings. "I really think he enjoyed those 10 years, having information so readily available to him," his wife, Melinda said. Yesterday evening, the William Allen White foundation dinner with the foundation trustee members was held at the Alvamar Country Club, 1800 Crossgate Dr. Tom Volek, professor in journalism, attended the dinner. He said Fitzwater was at the seat of power during his career as press secretary and had to deal with the press for many years. Very few men were qualified as Fitzwater was, Volek said. — Edited by Guillaume Doane Blind Date: Kansan Style.

Nearly 19 million American adults face a depressive illness each, and it is estimated that a staggered 14 percent of all college students experience the disabling symptoms of depression. I was one of the 14 percent. COMMENTARY Jonathan Reeder opinion@kansan.com My depression began soon after the death of my grandparents. I had lived with them since I was 1 year old. During my second year of college. I felt common initial symptoms of depression: a lack of concentration and low energy. I noticed the lack of concentration first. It would sometimes take hours to read a short chapter in a book. I also didn't understand my lack of energy. Even though I slept more, getting out of bed was a constant battle. I missed a lot of classes in the first six months, and even when I was there I couldn't concentrate. It was more than normal fidgeting. I couldn't bring myself to care. My class performance reflected my poor attendance. My grades suffered, which fueled the depression. I became more irritable and morose. Such cycles are common with depression. My friends and family noticed the change and urged me to do something. Reluctantly, I sought help. I called the KU Psychological Clinic located in Fraser Hall. Admitting that I needed help was difficult, especially with the social stigma still associated with mental diseases. (Which is finally starting to fade.) If my story seems similar to something you are experiencing, seek help. Visit a medical doctor if nothing else. The doctor can rule out other physical causes for the symptoms and make a referral to a mental health professional if necessary. The symptoms need to persist for two weeks or more to be diagnosed as depression. Lawrence has a number of options available to treat depression, as well as other psycho- chological problems The KU clinic is particularly enticing because the first session, where the therapist and patient can decide whether they will work well FOR MORE HELP: KU Psychological Clinic 864-4121 Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) 864-2277 with each other, is free for everyone. After the initial visit, the fee for students is $8 per 50-minute session. The clinic is a teaching institution, part of the psychology department. The therapists are doctoral students in clinical psychology in their second year. In addition, they are supervised by doctors. The major drawback to the clinic is that therapists cannot prescribe medications. Don't let that be a deciding factor. Recent research suggests that therapy alone is usually as effective as antidepressant medications for most forms of depression. In addition, the psychiatrists at Counseling and Psychological Services in Watkins Memorial Health Center can write prescriptions and monitor their effect. My sophomore year and part of my junior year were lost because of depression. I will never get those years back. If you believe you have a problem, seek help. I'm glad I did.

Zach Newton for The University Daily Kansan ATM Z. NEWTON Valentine's Day a scam Men, and women for that matter, get ready to empty your wallets. Valentine's Day is right around the corner. According to the National Retail Foundation, Valentine's Day has become a corporate scam. Do yourself a favor: Don't buy a love. Love is not defined by flowers. OUR VIEW Valentine's Day is officially a corporate and commercialized holiday. The pressure is being felt by men to impress their sweethearts more than ever. According to the foundation's survey, 65 percent of men plan to buy flowers and more than 21 percent plan to buy jewelry. Maybe it's just young love, but the survey also found age makes a difference. While the 18-34 year-old category will shell out about $140 dollars this Saturday, men 35-54 will spend $60 dollars, and men 55 and older will spend about $50. This "holiday" has lost its true meaning. There are varying opinions of how it started, but the most popular is the legend of St. Valentine. According to history, he was a jailed Roman martyr, who fought for Christianity. He died Feb. 14, 269 A.D., while in jail. Legend said he had left a note right before he died for the jailer's daughter, whom he had befriended. He ended it with, "From your Valentine." Over the years, Feb. 14 became a common day for celebration of love by sending messages and flowers to loved ones. St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. But America has secularized the holiday by dropping the saint, and turning it into a celebration of money for corporate America. There is nothing wrong with having a day to celebrate love between two people. But when it turns into how much money a man can spend on his girl, something has gone wrong. This year,try staying in on Valentine's Day and just hang out with your partner. You can have just as much fun for a lot less money. MUSIC OF MY MIND Once 'cafeteria casanova,' now a romantic: Remember love is larger than Motown image COMMENTARY "I'm cuddled by her hands because she understands/It's that bond that will keep the movement movin' on/it's that bond that will keep the movement movin' on..." - Speech (of Arrested Development), "Ease My Mind" from the 1994 album, Zingaladamuni When I was little, I used to think that Motown invented love. There were two constants in my household as a kid — one was that good feeling that came when I was in the company of my parents and sister, and the other was the feeling that came when I was in the vinyl presence of the Jackson 5, The Supremes, Stevie Wonder or Martha Reeves. MARIA MAYER Cornelius Minor opinion@kansan.com I remember when I was in primary school; I met a girl who exemplified all the soulful characteristics described by the Temptations in My Girl. I went home and told my mother that I loved her. In return, my mother asked me if I was crazy. I remember my first girlfriend from years later. By the time I met her, I had experienced enough "old school" R&B to know how to treat a woman, and I While I think that love does involve a little craziness, growing up as the son of a southern preacher, one would think that I would have connected the concept to something a bit larger than Motown. I certainly do now. "It's funny to think that the cat I am now has a little bit of that cafeteria casanova still in him." had experienced enough of (what was then) the new school — Jodeci, New Edition, Bell Biv DeVoe — to know how to beg a woman properly. I was a quick study, so though my only income was my weekly lunch money, I spent every dime that I had on her. She wore my Chicago Bulls Starter jacket and everything. On our one-week anniversary, I strolled over to her lunch table and bought her one of those after-lunch ice cream treats that you could buy in the corner of the cafeteria. In those days, it honestly didn't get smoother than Cornelius. That not withstanding, I can also recall being extraordinarily disappointed that she did not return my favors and gifts. We broke up shortly thereafter, and though we did, I have long since regarded her as my first love. She came by my office last year while she was on business in Kansas City, and a part of me still felt the tenderness of eighth grade disappointment. One would think that with all my middle school sophistication, I would have associated love with more than just material objects. I certainly do now. There is no girlfriend around this year, though the guy in me hates to admit that I get sensitive about that stuff. Perhaps that's why I've been reflecting on the feelings of loves past — those that I have enjoyed, been distanced from, lost and even squandered away. During that reflection, I've been thinking particularly about the things that sustained those relationships — the shared secrets, friends or common interests in arts, culture and pastime. Some people would argue that such things couldn't have been love. After all, Ralph Tresvant lyrics and Cross Colors jumpsuits don't quite do it for me anymore. What's strange is that, in many ways, those memories do. I'm sitting here laughing to myself as I think about all the things that I used to do for and in the name of love. There is little regret in that laughter. It teams with the warmth of all those strange and awkward moments. And I realize that those are the moments that have defined me. It's funny to think that the cat I am now has a little bit of that cafeteria casanova still in him. But I don't think it begins there. The girls, now women, that I have loved are only the most recent plot elements in my narrative. The grandmothers, neighbors, friends and mentors who have nurtured, inspired and encouraged have been loved before them. Love is those revolutionary people that made our yesterdays exciting, fun, didactic, but above all, livable. Countless have done it for me. I suspect that the same is true for many of us. As we get down to the business of loving this weekend, let's not forget to thank the folks who did it before Motown invented it. One would think that I would have stopped to think about them before. I'm certainly thinking about them now. Minor is an Atlanta graduate student in American studies.

Tai Chi club helps students learn balance,relaxation By Patrick Cady pcady@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Four hands slice through the air. The arms are relaxed, yet firm. As if in a dance, four people move their bodies in a long flowing circle. Their movement continues as they turn another deliberate half circle, then, they stop. Now four of the members of the KU Tai Chi Club begin a new form, raising their legs tentatively into the air. Like birds, they hold this for a moment, then begin something new. Hands follow hands, then feet follow feet in a slow, graceful balance. Through these sweeping movements, they practice Tai Chi, a martial art that in the native Mandarin translates to "infinite extreme." "If the art is good then there should be balance everywhere," said Wan Yueting, Shanghai, China, graduate student. Wan is the president of the KU Tai Chi club, and the instructor of the group that meets weekly to learn the centuries-old practice. It began in China as a martial art, but millions practice Tai Chi to help improve balance and to relax, Wan said. Basically, it consists of people following set forms of motions. During these moves, participants focus on relaxing a certain body area, and keeping another firm. It's a metaphor of the "You know you have it correct when part of you feels you have passed that position, and another part of you knows you have not really passed it." Wan Yueting Shanghai, China, graduate student black/white, male/female dichotomy of the Yin Yang, Wan said. "It's full of contradictory sides." Wan said, "opposite but together." Tonight, they practiced a moving Tai Chi called Chen style. It stressed more flowing leg motions and movement than another more stationary style called Yang. Wan said achieving a perfect move in Tai Chi was a relaxed, yet seemingly mysterious experience. "You know you have it correct when part of you feels you have passed that position, and another part of you knows you have not really pass it," Wan said. "The reason I started is because I want to keep in shape," Keatts said. "I hate weights, I hate running and I wanted to do something outdoors." Zack Keatts, Lenexa graduate student, has spent two years learning Tai Chi from Wan. He had researched martial arts and Tai Chi for months before choosing his style and has found benefits from studying this particular type. that type. "I had a bad knee now it's fully rehabilitated," Keatts said. "Healthwise I'd recommend it to anybody." Keatts said that it took diligent practice to see the benefits from Tai Chi. There were other more basic benefits to Tai Chi as well, Wan said. One of the main principles behind it stresses that the body acts as one unit, Wan said. "An old saying states that, 'if you move one piece of hair, you move your entire body,'" Wan said. This in turn helps with both coordination and balance. Beth McClellan, associate professor of geology, has been learning Chen style for six months. "I think one of the concerns for me, being older, was balance," McClellan said. "I noticed my balance was much better when I started and my breathing was better too." For beginners, Keatts suggested the more basic stationary Yang style might be best to begin with. Wan instructs both groups and holds sessions on the second floor lobby Dole Human Development Center from 7p.m. to 8 p.m.each Wednesday. kansan.com - Edited by Henry C.

Adams, Lawrence sophomore, and mother, Janet, work at the Applied English Center as conversation leaders. Janet said she first heard about the job last semester and then encouraged her daughter to apply with her. apply with pen. Last semester, Janet and Abigail each led five conversation groups, including one they led together. Abigail said although she and her mother both had take-charge personalities, they led their group without conflict. "The group had a lot of fun with it," Abigail said. "They said we looked alike and liked to make fun of us." janet said one challenge was Conversation leaders meet with groups of center students each week to improve spoken English skills and to adjust to the Lawrence and the University of Kansas community, said Judy Bonifield, conversation group coordinator. Leaders determine the week's topic and facilitate discussion within the group. This semester Abigail and Janet will each lead four or five conversation groups, which begins next week. Abigail said popular topics between students were food, music and holidays. "Talking about holidays is fun," Abigail said. "We talked about which relatives come, who cooks the food, what food is cooked and how to make it." finding an appropriate topic: one complex enough for the group to discuss, but not so difficult that thinking and talking in English was impossible. Abigail said the most difficult part of her job was when the group didn't want to talk. "The whole point is to get them out of their comfort zone and speaking, but they're usually pretty cooperative." Abigail said. Elvia Sanchez, an Applied English Center student from Mexico, said she enjoyed the meetings because she was stressed out. Seeing and talking to people helped her relieve the stress, she said. Students in the program don't pay extra to join conversation groups. The cost is included in their out-of-state tuition. Bonifield said about 200 students were enrolled at the center, but it was difficult to tell how many students attend conversation groups because they can go to any group, any day of the week. This creates the need for prepared but flexible leaders, Abigail said. Janet said three Korean women consistently attended the group she and Abigail led, and the relationship among the women became more informal toward the end of the semester "We got to know each other well enough that it became a conversation between friends instead of between a teacher and a student." lanet said. Janet said she enjoyed working with her daughter professionally. "My daughter is very special because she's willing to work with me," Janet said. "She doesn't hide the fact that I'm her mother.

Leonard Krishtalka, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, sees a different sort of weapon that could be used by terrorist: species themselves. Animals that can host viruses that are potentially dangerous to humans could be used to taint the food supply or organisms and insects that can damage crops could be released to kill crops. "This research approaches to model and predict the spread of emerging disease, agricultural pests, invasive species and other kinds of phenomena that might potentially be used by terrorist," said Kristhalka, who is also the director of the KU Biodiversity Research Center. The $1.8 million research project is funded by a grant from the Department of Defense. Project members will work to create a predictive modeling of potential bioterrorism agents using the millions of specimens stored in museums. A. Townsend Peterson, the primary researcher and associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, will integrate the museum collections with climate and environmental data to determine the possible spread of invasive species. Research has already been done to advance the basic knowledge of biodiversity, such as the effect of climate change of species, but Peterson's research will provide insight if an animal or plant-borne disease or a pest enters the United States. The threat is not necessarily the invasive species that is introduced into the U.S. ecology systems, Krishtalka said, but the diseases that an organism might carry. Krishtalka gave the example of the West Nile virus being spread through birds and mosquitoes. Knowing the potential species that carry the virus could pinpoint the exact locations that would be impacted the most by this virus. by examining the museum archives, researchers will be able to derive what conditions the certain species can live in. If a bird found carrying a virus is found only in temperate weather, then this research will show that extra precaution is needed in that climate. Policymakers could then decide how to reduce or stop the outbreak. The KU Biodiversity Research Center has headed the biodiversity research for four years by integrating a Web-based system to provide researchers with access to the millions of species catalogued around the world. When the database is combined with climate and environmental data and run through the GARP algorithm, a computational process that pounds through the voucher species located in museums and environmental factors, an in-depth picture of where species have the potential to survive is generated. "The Biodiversity Research Center combines computer scientist with biologist," said James Beach, assistant director of informatics, "to focus on the environmental phenomenon of how humans have affected the landscape of all natural species." It is vital to understand the ecological niche of animals and plants not only because of the possible threat of bioterrorism, but also to know where animals can live and spread naturally between nations and continents, Kristalka said. Factors such as climate, altitude and local ecosystems all serve as indicators on which species have the greatest potential to devastate the largest number of people if spread through natural or malicious causes. Krishtalka said federal officials have recognized the potential of bioterrorism and has the University working on the case. Negotiations on the grant are ongoing with the potential to be renewed next year but, for now, KU researchers have millions of species to get started with. "We have a good thing that is going good," Beach said, "KU has a very productive group that is leading the nation in this field."

Eisner, speaking after two days of upbeat presentations to analysts at Walt Disney World, was asked about possible acquisitions. "We're buying Comcast," he quipped. Comcast, the nation's largest cable provider, launched a surprise bid for The Walt Disney Co. on Wednesday, saying it could manage Disney's diverse entertainment assets better than the current management. Eisner praised the quality of his managers on Thursday, and said he does not think it's necessary for Disney to partner with another company to gain better distribution for its films, television shows and other products. "There are great distribution companies," Elsner said. "There are great content companies. They can be together (but) they don't have to be together. We feel we're running a pretty good company as it is." His optimistic attitude comes despite speculation from analysts that after two decades of running Disney, Eisner could lose his job just as he is responding to critics of his combative style and delivering better results to investors. Eisner has survived numerous calls for his ouster over the years. But the unsolicited offer from Comcast — $54 billion when announced Wednesday follows an aggressive campaign against him by two former board members and the collapse of a deal with former ally Pixar. Disney's board needs to decide if the company is better off without him, analysts said. Eisner was hired at a time when "It's the $64,000 question," David Miller, an analyst at Sanders Morris Harris said Thursday about whether Eisner would survive. "I'm better off gambling my money away at the Bellagio." Disney faced its last takeover attempt—from corporate raiders who wanted to break up the thanty theme park and movie company. Disney's board fired Walt Disney's son-in-law Ron Miller and, at the urging of Walt's nephew Roy E. Disney, hired Eisner and former Warner Bros. executive Frank Wells. Today, Roy Disney and former board member Stanley Gold are campaigning for Eisner's ouster, dissatisfied with the company's financial performance since 1998. WASHINGTON — Barry Bonds' personal trainer and a coach for some of the world's top track stars were among four people charged yesterday with running a steroid-distribution ring that provided performance-enhancing drugs to dozens of athletes. Trainer charged with distribution of steroids The Associated Press A 42-count indictment returned by a grand jury in San Francisco described in detail how a nutritional supplements lab — Bay Area Lab Cooperative or BALCO—allegedly provided the drugs from December 2001 to September 2003 to major league baseball and NFL players, Olympics-caliber track stars and bodybuilders. No sports figures were named "Steroids are bad for sports, they're bad for players, they're bad for young people who hold athletes up as role models." Terry Madden chief executive office of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency but Attorney General John Ashcroft left open the possibility some could be charged later. The indictment names Bond's trainer, 37-year-old Greg F. Anderson, and Remi Korchemen, 71, a top track coach whose roster includes Kelli White, a spinner who faces forfeiture of world championship gold medals after testing positive for a banned stimulant. "I am saddened by the news of the indictment against my trainer and friend," Bonds said in a statement. "I don't know the state of the evidence and it would be inappropriate to comment on this matter." Also named are Victor Conte Jr., 53, and president and chief executive officer of BALCO, and its vice president, 49-year-old James I. Valente. Ashcroft said the public's confidence in athletes and their sports has been undermined by questions about how some players attained their greatness. "Ilegal steroid use calls into question not only the integrity of the athletes who use them, but also the integrity of the sports that those athletes play," he said. "Steroids are bad for sports, they're bad for players, they're bad for young people who hold athletes up as role models." Terry Madden, chief executive office of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, which provides testing for American Olympic athletes, hailed the case as a step toward "removing drug cheats from sport." "We fully expect that developments in the U.S. attorney's proceedings and our ongoing investigation will lead to the initiation of more doping cases against athletes and others," he said. Major League Baseball officials declined to comment. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league has a year-round random testing program for players and imposes immediate suspensions on those who test positive for banned substances. Gene Upshaw, executive director of the NFL players union, said he hoped the indictment sends a message to athletes. "It's illegal and you can get in trouble for it and they can't avoid seeing that." he said. A parade of top athletes, ranging from Bonds to Olympic track star Marion Jones to boxer Shane Mosley, appeared before the grand jury probing BALCO and Anderson from late October to mid-December. Sports leagues have struggled to keep up with the rising use of performance-enhancing drugs and ways of masking them as athletes continue to look for quick ways to gain competitive advantage.

John Kerry (D-Mass.) as a tool of the special interests he regularly denounces. The one-minute spot depicts a woman surfing the Web. She finds a clip of Kerry, the Democratic front-runner, railing against "the influence-peddlers and the special interests. We're coming, you're going!" Kerry declares. The woman narrates the piece as she digs further into the Internet and finds news and watchdog reports on Kerry's campaign fund raising. An analysis by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics in Washington found that Kerry accepted the most campaign money from lobbyists over the past 15 years of anyone in the Senate — about $638,000. "Whew!" the woman says. "For what?" "Kerry—brought to you by the special interests." The video spot was to be sent out late yesterday to about 6 million Bush supporters. It makes clear that Bush's reelection campaign thinks Democrats have all but settled on Kerry as their nominee, and previews a line of attack Bush's campaign will use to exploit what it thinks is a vulnerability. It also is an inexpensive way to hit back at Kerry, who has aired at least a dozen ads attacking Bush or his policies over the past six months. "This White House has never met a special interest it didn't like. In fact, George Bush took more money from lobbyists in 2003 than John Kerry has in his entire career, and has managed to reward them handsomely for it too — at the expense of the environment, our economy and the middle class." Kerry's spokeswoman, Stephanie Cutter, responded: "If the Bush White House wants to raise special interests as an issue, then bring it on." Bush had about $100 million in the bank at the end of 2003. He and his surrogates have been steadily collecting it all year. The Bush-Cheney re-election team will begin airing TV ads in battleground states in coming weeks, as soon as the Democrats settle firmly on their nominee, campaign officials say. CONTINUED FROM 1A LEGISLATURE: Restaurant association opposes bill McDonald's — pay employees the federal minimum. Employers making less than that can pay employees the state minimum if it is less than the federal minimum of $5.15 per hour. Kansas is one of four states that fall into that category. There are about 24,000 people in Kansas earning less than the federal minimum wage, mainly in rural areas, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That doesn't mean those employees are being paid the bare minimum Kansas allows, said Beth Martino, Director of Communications for Kansas Human Resources. Martino didn't know of any Kansas business that pays $2.65 per hour without allowing for tips. For employees who work near or at the federal minimum wage, their wages would automatically jump to the proposed $7.50 should the bill pass. Employees who receive tips follow different standards. Employers are required to pay tipped workers $2.13 per hour, so long as the wage and tips equal the federal minimum wage of $5.15 per hour. The increase in the state minimum would force employers to increase tipped employees' salaries to compensate. If that happens, the restaurant industry as a whole would suffer, said Mike Casey, vice-president of marketing for the Kansas Restaurant and Hospitality Association. The bill, titled HB 2526, would require restaurants to pay more than the minimum wage, something that is unfair to both employers and employees that started at the federal minimum and have earned raises over time, according to the association's statement presented to the legislature. Ron Hein, the association's legallobyst, presented the statement on Feb. 4, and has been fighting the bill in the Legislature since. Its opposition might be working. Pressure from the association's lobbyists may keep the state minimum wage at $2.65 per hour, said Rep. Paul Davis (D-Lawrence). Davis said many legislators are understanding of the association's arguments. The bill, introduced in the House of Representatives, now sits before the Commerce and Labor Commission for review. No hearing has been set for the bill, but if it comes to a vote, it might not stand a chance, Davis said. "The prospects of passage are probably pretty slim, and that's really too bad," Davis said. "We have the lowest state minimum wage in the country. Something has to be done." — Edited by Nikki Nugent ADVISING: Coalition trying to improve advising CONTINUED FROM 1A "The Senate program is open to almost any class and it can be a one-shot deal, like if you're cramming for a test."

Keval Shah is a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator who has been in the tutoring program for a year and a half. He said he averaged about three or four hours of tutoring per week, but more during exams. The program faltered last year when Roessler left the Academic Committee, which oversees it.

On Tuesday, Shah was tutoring Lisa Turner, a freshman from Madison. Turner said she found out about the program on the Shah tutors for a negotiable fee, but he said that wasn't his main motivation. "It's a way to help out students." Shah said. Edited by Henry C.

The Jayhawks will travel to Lincoln Neb. to tangle with the Cornhuskers on Sunday. Kansan File Photo By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter Freshman guard J.R. Giddens wore a boot around his sore left foot Wednesday and did not practice. For the Kansas men's basketball team, practice sessions this week have looked like scenes from "M*A*S*H." Junior forward Wayne Simien is still practicing every other day while nursing a nagging groin injury. All three will be ready to go on Sunday, but despite health woes, coach Bill Self thinks his team has an even bigger concern heading back on the road this weekend. The first-year Kansas coach wants to see his team play "hungry" basketball on a consistent basis. "The problem is that when things haven't gone well, we haven't remained a good team." Self said at yesterday's news conference. "I don't think we play with the hunger or energy during those type of situations. I think that's exactly what happened at Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State whipped us." Sophomore forward Moulaye Niang had tape around his right wrist and hand yesterday. After the Jayhawks' (15-5 overall, 7-2 Big 12 Conference) 80-60 loss in Stillwater, Okla., Monday night, the team will have had a six-day hiatus before Sunday's tip-off against the Nebraska Cornhoppers (13-7, 3-6) in Lincoln, Neb. The break has given the team time to both heal physically and get focused for the final stretch of conference games. "We just came off playing two of our best games of the year and then laid an egg in Stillwater." Self said. "I am not trying to make excuses for Monday, but this is not a good Saturday-Monday team for health reasons." Self changed the pace of practice on Wednesday as his team focused on solidifying its defense. Defending the perimeter will be key for the Jayhawks, as the Cornhuskers are second in the Big 12 Conference in three-point field goal percentage (40.1) and three-pointers made per game (7.0).

The Devaney Center in Lincoln is not as intimidating as Oklahoma State's Gallagher-Iba Arena, but Nebraska is 11-2 at home this season. On the road, the Jayhawks will need more contributions emotionally and physically from their "Myself, Keith and Wayne, we are the leaders of this team, and we have to bring the energy." Miles said. Self said Miles was the vocal leader. Simien led by example and players fed off of Langford's energy when he was on his game. 'Hawks to take on No.24 Sooners By Jessa Newell jnewell@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Trailing 32-11 to Kansas State early in the game, interim coach Lynette Woodard sent a simple message to her team: Focus on everything but the scoreboard. Woodard told her players to get a stop and get one bucket at a time. For the next 10 minutes, the Jayhawks responded, closing the deficit to 12. "We didn't come out the way I wanted us to," Woodard said, "but we couldn't stop playing." The message to keep playing will come into effect again this weekend, as Kansas will travel to Oklahoma for a 4 p.m. matchup tomorrow. The game will be televised on Fox Sports Net. The Jayhawks have lost three straight, including Wednesday's 81-51 loss to the Kansas State Wildcats, but will look to leave that loss in the past. "We have to put this one behind us," sophomore guard Erica Hallman said. "It's going to be tough for a lot of people, but we can't dwell on this." Oklahoma enters with a 15-6 record, but only a 5-5 record in conference. Kansas has also found there is no breathing room in the Big 12 Conference schedule. PIONEER The Sooners are ranked 24th in the latest ESPN/USA Today Coaches' Poll, but sit at seventh in the Big 12, showing the league's depth from top to bottom.

University of Kansas current and retired faculty and staff have a seating plan for next year's men's basketball games at Allen Fieldhouse. The Senate Executive Committee submitted the final plan yesterday to the University Council for approval. The council accepted the plan after some debate. The plan describes the method of distributing the 1,822 Allen Fieldhouse seats available to current and retired University faculty and staff. It gives approximately 1,600 seats to current ticket holders and puts the rest into a lottery for faculty and staff without tickets. Twelve seats behind the opposing bench will also be available in a lottery. The plan assigns seats according to seniority, giving the closer seats to those who have served the University longest. have served the University is really pursuing this in a unique manner," said Ray Davis, SenEx chairman. He said the plan tried to emphasize values of the University, especially fairness and equity. "People who have had tickets need to be weighed against faculty and staff who want to get tickets," Davis said. The plan accomplished this balance by allowing current ticket holders to renew their tickets and having the lottery for those without them, he said. University Council support for the plan was widespread,but not all members were convinced that the plan was fair. Council member Jeannette Johnson criticized the plan for not allowing people without tickets a chance to get a fullseason package. The plan gives current ticket holders the opportunity to purchase quarter-season, half-season, three-quarter season or full-season ticket packages. But lottery ticket-holders are limited to only quarter-season packages. When current ticket holders give up their tickets, they will go into the lottery and become quarter-season packages. "My problem is that you will never ever add another full-season ticket to faculty and staff," said Johnson, a member of the unclassified professional staff. Defenders of the plan said limiting the lottery tickets to quarter-season packages allowed more people to get tickets. They also said the plan could be amended in five years if it wasn't working well. Andy Knopp, student body president, supported the plan but raised a concern when he brought up the issue of faculty and staff selling the tickets they acquired from the lottery. Knopp said faculty and staff should have to show ID to claim seats like students did. The issue was not resolved in the meeting. Despite the concerns, the council was approved the plan without amending it. Council member Marianne Berry said she was impressed by SenEx's efforts to create the plan. "There are opportunities in this plan for people who have tickets to keep them and people who don't have the money to afford tickets to have four-game packages," Berry said. Davis said the plan would now move to the provost and chancellor for final approval and then to the Athletics Department to be implemented. He does not expect the chancellor or provost to raise any issues. —Edited by Danielle Hillix Criticism: When bad things happen to good people This week seemed to go by fast, but that was mostly because of my trying to clear my head after the Oklahoma State game. The game was awful, even though I did watch a Kansas game a couple of years ago against Wake Forest that did not turn out so well. This actually brings me to the point that I want to make. There's a question that I've been pondering for a while: What is it about people that makes them want to justify things that go I Keith Langford hlangford@hansan.com sports commentary wrong: Take students for example. Any time wrong? a student gets an A on an assignment, what do they say? "Yeah I just got an A." But when it comes to getting anything less, it turns into "Man, he just gave me a D." I'm not big on politics, but Bush is still trying to justify not finding weapons of mass destruction when all that was found was the pistol Saddam had when he was captured. Because this is a sports column, and I'm an athlete, we'll relate it to sports. Why do people who want you to play well sometimes seem like they want you to fail just so they can smack your ass while your face is in the dirt? After we played OSU, I received phone calls from people I hadn't talked to in weeks just to ask what happened. That's fine, but why didn't they call after we beat Texas Tech by 19? That's the beauty of competition, sports and being a fan. After 20 years on this earth, I have come to realize that no one likes to be criticized, so that is why we criticize others. As I think about this, I acknowledge the fact that I, too, am a fan. I cannot count how many times that I've seen the Dallas Cowboys play and started a sentence with the word "damn" in front of a player's name. It's a cycle so to speak.

Boulder County District Attorney Mary Keenan said Thursday school officials should meet with the women to hear their side of the story and then begin working on how to deal with acquaintance rape problems at the university. University President Elizabeth Hoffman did not return repeated calls seeking comment. But spokesman Bob Nero said Hoffman would be willing to discuss changes to university and athletics department policies if the women drop their pursuit of "a large financial settlement." In the suits, Colorado's football program and the university are accused of fostering an environment in which women are routinely sexually harassed, which would violate federal bans on gender discrimination in colleges. No players or recruits were charged. The school is appointing a panel to investigate, and the criminal investigation was reopened. Attorneys and a spokeswoman representing two of the women say they have not heard from university attorneys. A lawyer for the third woman did not return calls. University attorney David Temple said there was a settlement conference in one case and more meetings are likely. He said only the school's Board of Regents can authorize a settlement. Keenan decided against filing rape charges in the case, saying it would be difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. But in a deposition from one of the lawsuits disclosed two weeks ago, she accused the Boulder school of using sex and alcohol to entice high school recruits and ignoring her demand to do something about it. University officials, including Hoffman and football coach Gary Barnett, have denied the allegations. "We need to get everybody to the table, and go forward in a positive way and stop mudsinging," Keenan said in a telephone interview.

Kleiza, a 6-foot-8 native of Lithuania, injured the shoulder Jan. 28 with about 45 seconds to play in Missouri's 83-70 loss at Colorado, and he has not played since. The Tigers are 2-1 in his absence. "We have met with Linas' family and our medical staff here at Mizzou and we believe that the severity of the injury would have reduced his effectiveness on the court, making immediate surgery necessary." Snyder said. "We feel that this is the best option for Linas' career and his eventual contribution to our program.

Crunch time Despite being hobbled by a sprained ankle, Alexander had a couple of 3-pointers in the decisive run and finished with 11 points, matching teammate Drew Lavender. Freshman Lawrence McKenzie led the Sooners with 15. "It bothered me, but I had to look past it," Alexander said of his bad ankle. "We were kind of going into a drought. My team needed me." The Sooners (15-5, 5-4 Big 12) looked nothing like the offensively clueless squad that was routed 66-37 by Texas on Sunday, their lowest point total since 1955. Oklahoma went 9-for-22 from 3-point range a stark turnaround from its 1-of-21 showing in Austin and scored just often enough to hold off the Red Raiders (17-6, 5-4) down the stretch.

The Jayhawks are attempting to build off last year's success, its best season in a decade. Kansas made a convincing start winning seven of its first nine games, but a disappointing weekend brought the team's three-game winning streak to an end and its record to 7-4-1. Players and coaches are admitting the weather is having a negative effect on the team's success. "We are not playing up to our potential," senior Chris Smart said. "It's tough practicing inside all seek and the KU Price going outdoors for games." Because of the severe weather conditions in Kansas, the baseball team has been forced to practice indoors Tuesday through Thursday before road trips. Game situations are difficult to simulate indoors and players do not get the chance to see high velocities and breaking balls like they would outside, coach Ritch Price said. KU Stanford Smart baseball coach Mark Marquess admits that his team has an obvious advantage because of the weather. Sixty degree weather in Palo Alto, Calif. has allowed Stanford to practice outside. The Cardinal (5-1) is ranked No.4 and swept top-10 Cal State Fullerton in its season-opening series. Stanford has reached the College World Series the last five consecutive seasons, setting a school record. Three of the last four years the Cardinal has played in the title game. In many ways, the Stanford program is the definition of a baseball powerhouse. "They are the model of what college baseball is all about," coach Price said. Marquest is currently in his 28th season of coaching. He has amassed an overall record of 1149-552-5 and received NCAA and International Baseball Coach of the Year honors. Price is in his second year at Kansas where he has a record of 42-32-1. In 10 seasons as a Division 1 head coach, Price is 259-260-1. Price and Marquess have faced each other before. Each coach has respect for the other. In a recent press conference, Price referred to Marquess as his "idol." Likewise, Marquess had positive remarks about Price. "Ritch Price is one of the top coaches in college baseball." Marquess said. "His impressive first year at Kansas made that apparent." The Jayhawks are optimistic heading into this weekend's series. Pitching velocity and the bullpen's strength is significantly better than last season. The defense has been solid and sophomores Ritchie Price and Matt Baty are swinging the bat well. "Between the lines, teams that are full of All-Americans are not much better than we are," said senior Ryan Baty. The first pitch of the three-game set is scheduled for 8 p.m. today in Palo Alto, Calif. Baylor beats odds for relative success Edited by Ashley Arnold The Associated Press Waco, Texas — Success at Baylor isn't based on victories and losses this season. "For us, finding something good is our reward," first-year Bears coach Scott Drew said. The Bears have already exceeded their expectations. They aren't the winless team in the Big 12 Conference. They won't finish 0-16 or even 1-15 in one of the nation's toughest conferences. And despite a depleted roster after a turbulent offseason, the Bears (7-15, 2-7 Big 12) may not finish in last place. "We knew that if we could do one thing, that is play hard every game ... that was what the crux of our goals was set in," Drew said. "The big thing is, you've got to be realistic." "The A&M victory was nice to know that it wasn't a fluke." The Bears have been playing with just six scholarship players, five averaging more than 31 minutes a game in conference play They'll get another scholarship player back when starter Corey Herring returns. He has missed four games and will be out at leas another week with a broken right hand. Baylor lost its three top scor Scott Drew Baylor basketball coach ers when the NCAA relaxed transfer rules because of extraordinary events last summer. Patrick Dennehy was found shot to death after missing for six weeks. A former player faces a murder trial, and there was a coaching change after serious rules infractions were revealed. Projections of a winless conference season were avoided with a 63-59 victory against Iowa State on Jan. 24. Then Baylor defeated Texas A&M 72-64 last weekend, leaving the Aggies (7-13, 0-9) as the only Big 12 team without a league victory. Beating Iowa State "was really a reward for all of the hard work that everyone's put in," Drew said. "The A&M victory was nice to know that it wasn't a fluke. "At the same time, we're realistic and know that if we don't play to our fullest and the other team has a good time, it's a long night for us." Their games at times haven't been pretty, but the always underdog Bears haven't given up. They have no 30-point losses, and three of their losses to Top 25 teams were by 11 points or less. They were competitive for stretches in every game before the starters just wore down. "I think Scott's doing a great job. What I like about him and what he's done, I've never heard him say one negative word about the situation he's in," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "You could easily say 'Boy, I can't believe I got myself in this situation.' He hasn't done that. Especially against an unforgiving Big 12 schedule. The Bears' next two games are on the road, Saturday, Feb. 14, at No. 10 Oklahoma State and Wednesday, Feb. 18, against No. 12 Kansas. "I don't know how anybody could do any better." Drew, who came to Baylor from Valparaiso after going 20-11 in his only season as head coach there, managed to smile and find a positive note just about every game. After an 84-58 loss to Texas on Tuesday, Drawn pointed out the season-low nine turnovers. "We're all very happy with how competitive we've been," said senior guard Matt Sayman, a scholarship player. "We didn't really have expectations. That is one luxury we did have. The thought of having no tomorrow makes every game more important." Baylor won't play in the Big 12 tournament as part of the school-imposed two-year probation. The three Baylor transfers are key juniors on teams probably headed to the NCAA tournament: Lawrence Roberts for No. 6 Mississippi State, John Lucas at No. 10 Oklahoma State and Kenny Taylor at No. 11 Texas. Drew doesn't lament what could have been. He remains focused on the future, knowing each day is a step closer to the team's restoration. "The challenge is what got him," said Bryce Drew of the New Orleans Hornets, the coach's brother. "He believes that he can make Baylor an upper-echelon team in the Big 12. He's really been more optimistic this year than last year when he was winning 20 games." Frank wins again; Yao outplays Shaq The Associated Press The New Jersey Nets sure look smart for promoting Lawrence Frank. Maybe NBA fans knew something, too, when they voted for Yao Ming over Shaquille O'Neal. Frank matched a league record by improving to 9-0 since taking over the Nets, who won their 10th straight game Wednesday night with a 105-85 victory in Cleveland. "Naismith, Wooden, all of them would be proud of him," All-Star guard Jason Kidd said. "He doesn't like the attention, but the team is happy for him." Yao had 29 points and 11 rebounds, outplaying O'Neal to lead the Rockets to a 102-87 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Lakers. Yao also edged Shaq in fan balloting and will start at center for the Western Conference in the All-Star game Sunday. "He made the shots, but he got the whistle, too." O'Neal said. "He's a big guy and has a soft touch. I don't think he'll ever be able to play me one-on-one, ever. ever, ever. We let this one slip away." In other games, it was: Sacramento 96, Detroit 94; Miami 111, Orlando 98; Philadelphia 113, Washington 88; Memphis 110, the Los Angeles Clippers 102, New Orleans 106, New York 98; Minnesota 77, Utah 66; and Golden State 110, Phoenix 99. Yao flashed an array of fluid moves and helped the Rockets pull away in the fourth quarter, scoring 11 of Houston's last 15 points in the final 6.12. "We have to make adjustments throughout the game if you're playing against the best player in the league, and he did that," Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy said. "He went with his jump hook and he drove and he spun." O'Neal, who finished with 24 points and nine rebounds, fouled out with 3:20 to play. Kobe Bryant came off the injured list and scored 14 points for the Lakers. "I was very surprised how I was able to do," Yao said. "We kept moving the ball and moving our people on defense and Shaq couldn't catch up to it."

Students? I don't know, maybe criticism isn't a big factor when you have a free mind, alcohol and the number to the Free for All. I think it's all hilarious. Just think: so many athletes work hard because someone, somewhere said that they weren't capable. There's always a coach who tries to rally his team because an analyst said his team wasn't very good. There's always a fan comparing strange stats because someone else said that their favorite player or team wasn't good. I have never heard anyone give an excuse about something when things are going well, myself included.

DENVER — Lawyers for Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen opened their defense of a lawsuit filed by former owner Edgar Kaiser, presenting testimony from Kaiser's ex-wife and the former owner of the Vail ski area. Kaiser's federal lawsuit accuses Bowlen of violating the terms of the $65 million sale of the Broncos by distributing ownership interests in the team to members of Bowlen's family. Bowlen's lawyers showed the jury a videotaped deposition Wednesday from Kaiser's ex-wife, Judy Kaiser, who said he knew Bowlen's family would be involved in financing the 1984 purchase. Gillett said and his family members considered buying a majority stake in the Broncos in 1982 for $54 million but declined. Colorado coach denies allegations The Associated Press Boulder, Colo. — Gary Barnett is a study in contradictions — a disciplinarian who nonetheless has been embroiled in controversy over his out-of-control players. Hired to coach Colorado's football team five years ago, Barnett was expected to end an era of loose recruiting practices and return the school to national prominence. Now he's at the center of the school's biggest scandal in decades, perhaps ever. Amid accusations that a boozy round of recruiting visits by high school prospects in 2001 ended in gang rape, Barnett faces a university investigation that was all but ordered by Colorado's governor. The latest blow came this week when a striptease operator said he regularly sends lap dancers to perform for Colorado athletes The most recent performances were booked two weeks ago—well after the rape allegations became public and just days after Barnett promised to step down if it was shown his staff had anything to do with what he called "tawdry" behavior by student-athletes. To top it off, a former athletics official said Barnett seemed reluctant to crack down on entertaining recruits because it could give an advantage to other schools. "At no time did any coach take part in arranging, creating, or encouraging a party of any sort. You just don't do that." Gary Barnett Colorado football coach Barnett denied it all, telling The Associated Press he would be cleared by the investigation and disputed accusations in a federal lawsuit that the Boulder campus was a hostile place for women. "I expect them to find that we have an exemplary program in every aspect," Barnett said. Barnett blamed the players and students for the December 2001 party that led to the rape allegations and says he can't watch players and recruits 24 hours a day. "No coach or any member of my staff had anything to do with that night," he said. "At no time did any coach take part in arranging, creating or encouraging a party of any sort. You just don't do that." At 57, Barnett has led Colorado to a Big 12 Conference title and a BCS bowl game. When he took over from Rick Neuheisel in January 1999, his former players at Northwestern said Colorado was getting a new sheriff. During the last two seasons, nine players were suspended for various violations of team rules, including curfew and behavior standards. "Coach Barnett is such a stickler," wide receiver D.J. Hackett said. "He's really strict on rules and stuff." Still, Barnett had his share of controversy even before becoming head coach at Colorado. He led Northwestern to a pair of Big Ten titles and a Rose Bowl berth after the 1995 season. He was also there during a betting scandal in which four football players were indicted and accused of lying about gambling and point-shaving activities. Barnett was not implicated. Barnett was also with the Colorado program as an assistant coach in the 1980s when players were accused of crimes ranging from drunken driving to serial rape. Barnett himself wasn't criticized during that mess, which tarnished the tenure of head coach Bill McCartney but didn't stop the Buffs from winning a national championship in 1990. Since then, the program has been slapped with two years of NCAA probation for violations that occurred mostly under Neuheisel. The problems included illegal contact with recruits and excessive reimbursement for recruit's travel and entertainment expenses. Barnett was cited for two minor violations. Much more serious are the accusations leveled in federal lawsuits filed by three women who say they were raped during or after the 2001 off-campus recruiting party. No players or recruits were charged. Boulder County's top prosecutor accused the university in a deposition of using sex as a recruiting tool. The school is appointing a panel to investigate, and the criminal investigation has been reopened. In a deposition in one of the lawsuits, Robert Chichester, Colorado's former senior associate athletic director, said Barnett seemed unwilling to set a tone of intolerance toward rowdiness during recruiting visits. For his part, Barnett insisted he and his staff are in "complete control" of the program. Asked about his promise that he would resign if the probe turns up evidence of involvement, Barnett said, "There won't be. There won't be."

His last name was already familiar to most senators, though. McKenzie's brother, Scott, is a senior who has been a fixture in Senate and the Delta Force coalition for years. "When I first started, people got a kick out of it because during roll call every meeting it was "McKenzie, Kevin; McKenzie, Scott," McKenzie said. Scott has written numerous bills and has been the better-known McKenzie brother up to now. That should change this year as Kevin runs for student body vice president with Delta Force. "It's got to help, it sure couldn't hurt," Kevin said of his brother's high profile. "But at the same time, we operate a lot differently. It's not like people just view me as the younger McKenzie." PETER BROWN McKenzie's running mate, Blake Swenson, agreed. "Scott's probably one McKenzie Scotts probably bill writers in Senate history," Swenson said. "He's got a broad range of interests, whereas Kevin's more into focusing on one thing and really making sure it gets done."

Whether you're not getting any minutes, whether you're not making any shots or whether you haven't been playing well the past couple of games, all that shouldn't matter.

Wind knocked out of $ \mathrm{O_{2}} $ trend By Dave Nobles nobles at kansan.com Kansan staff writer Eight-One-Five Cafe and Night Club is pulling the plug on its oxygen bar. The last gasp for the designer trend came after Charlton Manley Inc., the club's insurance company, expressed concerns during a yearly inspection. According to the American Lung Association, inhaling the oxygen is neither beneficial nor dangerous, but the oxygen bar concept was something new to the insurance company, leading to the hesitation to insure it. SEE DUNLAP ON PAGE 5A Jeff Singer, owner of Eight-One-Five, said he was also disappointed that the trend lacked popularity but he didn't think that discontinuing the oxygen bar would affect his business. "I can count on one hand how many people would come in and ask for it," Singer said. Eight-One-Five, 815 New Hampshire Jeff Singer Owner of Eight-One-Five "Right now, there hasn't been anyone who's noticed it. I'm really not in a major rush to get it running again." The oxygen system functioned by a generator that would pull and filter normal air from the bar. The air would then be pushed through a tube into a cylinder of flavored water. A separate tube would then carry the concentrated oxygen to the user's nose. St., had been supplying go-goers with the option of recreational oxygen for nearly nine months. The concentrated oxygen would contain up to 95 percent oxygen, whereas the air outside normally contains about 21 percent. The concentrated oxygen would energize the user and provide a refreshing feeling. The insurance company determined that the unknown risk level of the oxygen bar was too high to continue coverage. Juana Simons, the owner of the portable oxygen bar AirO2mas, has her own insurance coverage. Her arrangement with Eight-One-Five allowed for her to keep all the revenue from the oxygen. Simons could not be reached for comment. "Right now, there hasn't been anyone who's noticed it," Singer said. "I'm really not in a major rush to get it running again." Singer said once the insurance issues were resolved, the club would only operate the oxygen bar for special events. — Edited by Cindy Yeo Fossil discovery rewrites history By Becca Evanhoe bevanhoe@kansan.com Kansan staff writer When entomologists study insect fossils, finding a whole bug is a lucky break. Most often, scientists have to analyze tiny bits of insects — legs, sections of body, wings and tiny jaw-like mouthparts called mandibles. Furthermore, because Rhiyniognatha is winged, it is not the most primitive of insects. The diversification of insects must have happened prior to this fossil, which pushes the origins of insects even further back in time. Insects probably appeared with the first land animals in the early Silurian period, shortly after the arrival of plants on land. "This discovery also adds 75 million years to the age of flight for insects. That's a tremendous jump," said Engel, assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and curator of KU's Natural History Museum. Rhyniognatha's discovery is significant for several reasons. The first is that insects appeared 20 million years earlier than previously thought — a good chunk of time, Engel said. Rhyniognatha's buggy jaws had been in a drawer of the London Natural History Museum since their discovery near Rhynie, Scotland 80 years earlier. The fossil comes from a deposit of quartz-like rock, called chert. Because chert is relatively translucent, Engel said, you could actually see the insect inside. The news, published in last week's edition of the journal Nature is re-writing the evolution of insects. Called Rhyniognatha hirsti, the insect is 400 million years old, earning the title of the oldest-known insect. The fact that it probably had wings shows insects evolved earlier and developed flight more rapidly than scientists previously thought, putting insects among the first land animals. "The spectacular thing is that unlike most fossils, the specimen is actually three-dimensionally preserved inside it, almost like a mosquito stuck in amber," he said. Luckily, these tiny parts can reveal much about the entire insect. University of Kansas researcher Michael Engel studied one such insect morsel, a tiny pair of mandibles and other head fragments, and determined that not only were the mandibles once part of a true insect, but also that the species probably had wings. Although visible with the naked eye, the insect fragments in the chert are not much bigger than a speck. The mandibles are only 0.13 mm long, less than the thickness of a credit card. The entire bug was probably 6 or 7 mm long, which is typical of insects today, Engel said. 1 SEE FOSSIL ON PAGE 5A 心 in other words "There was a sudden sound—a crack—and my older son said it was like a terrible dream."

The magazines named the school "the best bang for the buck," saving the tuition was less than the University of Texas and the University of Colorado, which were both ranked behind the University. The school also received a ranking of "excellent value." Rankings were based on tuition, graduate unemployment rates and bar pass rates among other qualifications. Stephen McAllister, dean of law, said this was great recognition for the school. It showed the quality of the law school, which could help in recruiting students, he said. — Rupal Gor STATE Moral issues left untouched in Sunday alcohol debate TOPEKA — Opposition to Sunday alcohol sales in Kansas is a moral issue to some legislators, yet few have been willing to invoke religion or morality as they argue against the idea. Instead, senators who oppose Sunday sales argue that such sales will lead to more drunks on the highways, increase access to alcohol for underage drinkers and take away the only day off for mom-and-pop liquor store owners. During the session, religious values have dominated a debate over banning gay marriage in the Kansas Constitution, but similarly indignant voices of morality are mostly muted when it comes to Sunday sales. Sen. Stan Clark, an Oakley Republican who opposes Sunday sales on moral grounds, acknowledged that legislators are leery of waving the banner of religion in fighting against looser liquor laws. "The feeling for some was that it would do more harm than good," he said recently, after the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee voted 5-4 to send a bill permitting Sunday sales to the full Senate. The bill, stripped of its Sunday sales provisions, failed last week. The Associated Press NATION OPEC to cut oil production gas prices continue slow rise CAMARILLO, Calif. — Retail gasoline prices continue to climb at the nation's pumps, rising more than 17 cents a gallon since late December, according to a study released Sunday. Gas prices for all grades rose 3.61 cents in the past weeks to a national average of $1.68 per gallon, according to the Lundberg Survey of 8,000 stations The price of retail diesel fuel also was up 3 cents, reaching a national average of $1.69 per gallon. Industry analyst Triblu Lundberg said several factors were responsible for the hike, including OPEC's decision to cut oil production by 1 million barrels a day beginning April 1. Also, rising crude oil prices and cold weather increased the demand for heating oil, Lundberg said. The rate of increase was slowing compared to the past period, but Lundberg said there is no indication prices would fall anytime soon. The national weighted average price of gasoline, including taxes, at self- serve pumps Friday was about $1.65 for regular, $1.75 for mid-grade, and $1.84 for premium. The Associated Press Mars rover sets out to break one-day distance record LOS ANGELES — NASA's Spirit rover stopped to examine an unusual, flaky rock on the surface of Mars yesterday as scientists prepared to send it on a trek that would more than double its one day distance record. The Mars Explorer team hoped the rover would travel about 82 feet this morning and make the same distance again during the afternoon. Spirit's longest previous trek was 70 feet in a day, the record for any robot on the Martian surface. Before setting out on today's trek, Spirit examined the flaky rock, dubbed "Mimi." Mission manager Jim Erickson said scientists would like to know why Mimi is flaky but its neighboring rocks are not. He said flakiness may indicate layering, an indication that a rock was formed over time instead of all at once, as might be the case with rock produced by a volcanic eruption. Examining a rock's layers can give scientists hints about the geologic history of the region where it was found. On the other side of the planet, the twin rover Opportunity was in position to dig a trench today in "Hematite Slope," an area named for an iron-bearing mineral that typically forms in water. The trench would allow scientists to study soil beneath the surface. Opportunity concentrated on examining the surface soil at the spot yesterday for comparison.

But the energy of people in the show does convey the attitude of those in the White House, said Marlin Fitzwater, former press secretary to two presidents. He worked as a writer and consultant on the show for two seasons. seasons. Fitzwater used his sense of humor to capture the audience on Friday at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union, where he received the William Allen White Medallion. Fitzwater spoke about his "He's a very interesting person who certainly lived in an incredible period in history." Tom Volek Professor of journalism time in the White House, and journalistic principles. The expansion of the media was one of his top issues. Fitzwater said that by the time he left the White House in 1992, CNN covered more events than NBC, CBS and ABC combined. This was because journalists were taking advantage of media growth through satellite cable and the Internet, getting information to the public right away, he said. Journalists were competing for first-hand information to be accurate in reporting. Accuracy was one of the principles of journalism that Fitzwater stressed was important. Another principle was the right for people to know what was going on in the government and the White House. and the white house. As a press secretary, Fitzwater had to address the nation in different situations. Fitzwater conveyed what it was like to be on the other side of the media — dealing with the press. He said the worst time for a presidential press secretary was when the president got sick or was around violence. The press secretary was the person who told the nation that something was wrong. He showed humorous side White House, he had to tell the nation about the president getting sick. when he spoke about a time when President George H.W. Bush was sick and vomited on the Japanese prime minister. The word "barf" has never come from somebody in the White House, Fitzwater said. His beeper started beeping with the message, "President barbed." Tom Volek, associate professor of journalism, learned things from Fitzwater that he hadn't known. For example, Fitzwater talked about the inner workings of the White House. "He's a very interesting person who certainly lived in an incredible period in history," Volek said. Edited by Collin LaJoie Hall implements security measures After last week's burglaries, K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall tries out lock-down By Noeley J. Spellmeier nspellmeier@kansan.com Kansan staff writer K. K. Amini Scholarship Hall has decided on a temporary policy after its burglary last weekend. A trial 24-hour lockdown will be implemented for the next few weeks, said Mike Khadavi, hall president and Overland Park junior. Last Saturday night, someone burglarized five rooms in the hall. The suspect actually knocked on the kitchen door, and someone in the kitchen let him in. It was originally thought by a resident that the suspect came in through the front door when the lock was not working. "The problem with this is that it is difficult to enforce. If someone is leaving for class, they may not want to wait around" Mike Khadavi Overland Park junior He said he was there to see a "Chris" on the second floor, so the resident let him go. Now the hall is trying to make it so that anyone who comes in anywhere but the front door must be escorted. At a meeting Thursday night. necessary.

Khadavi said he thought the Exec Board, along with some residents, favored a stricter guest policy. guest poster One possibility is never letting a guest be without a resident with them at all times. "The problem with this is that it is difficult to enforce," Khadavi said. "If someone is leaving for class, they may not want to wait around." When non-residents are let in, they would have to call their host at the front desk. As of now, the hall is going to try to be more aware of the guests. Then, they would have to wait for their host to come and get them. get them. This also leads to problems, though. If the person who let them in is leaving, they may not want to wait for the other resident. And if the resident is not in his room when his guest calls, it may be difficult to track him down. The hall has not yet had an official meeting to inform all of the residents of the plan, but the new procedures will take effect throughout the week, Khadavi said. - Edited by Collin LaIoie KU alumnus, judge seen as role model By Jodie Kraftt jkraftt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Editor's note: This is the second in a series of three profiles of KU alumni for Black History month. In his high school yearbook under the name Cordell D. Meeks Jr., Meeks listed his career ambition: to become a judge. He was in ninth grade when he realized he wanted to be involved with law, and hasn't looked back since. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Kansas in 1964 and his law degree in 1967. Meeks is a district court judge for the 29th judicial District of Kansas in Kansas City, Kan. Born and raised in Kansas City, Meeks said his father was also a judge, but he was never pushed that direction. Meeks said his role model was actually Delano Lewis, a KU graduate and former U.S. ambassador to South Africa. Lewis also received his undergraduate degree from the University and the two were involved in some of the same organizations. Meeks said interacting with different people in these organizations at the University taught him a lot. "KU was a perfect slice of what life was going to be about," he said. said. Meeks' involvement in the community didn't stop after graduation: he serves on 34 boards and organizations in the Kansas City area and on campus. His campus commitments include being a member of the Chancellor's Club, an adviser for minority development for the School of Nursing, an advisory for Edwards Campus and a member of the Law Society Board of Governors. errors. "It's sort of a hobby of mine," Meeks said. "People ask me how "If you're willing to help yourself, he's willing to help you." Mark Dupree Kansas City, Kan., senior I have the time and my answer is. I don't play golf." He committed to many of these organizations and boards because some of them had never had any black involvement. "Part of erasing deep-seeded prejudice is to demonstrate to others that we can step in and do it." Meeks said. Mark Dupree is one student who has experienced Meeks' philosophy first-hand. The Kansas City, Kan., senior was paired with Meeks as part of an internship opportunity during his senior year of high school. For a few weeks, Dupree shadowed Meeks to learn about his job. Some of Meeks' favorite organizations are those that help children. He said he liked programs that taught today's youth how to develop the skills necessary to become productive citizens. learn about his job. Dupree said a shared interest in law first connected the two, but they have remained friends for many years. Dupree visits Meeks once or twice a month and said the pair talked about the importance of communication between people and Dupree's career goals. Dupree said Meeks even talked to a few law firms about internships for him. "If you're willing to help yourself, he's willing to help you," Dupree said. Dupree said he thought Meeks' combination of friendliness to others and his ability to remain true to himself made him successful as a judge and person. "I think that's why he is where he is today," Dupree said. - Edited by Cindy Yeo Top of The Hill is your chance to vote for the best.

The Wal-Mart opening has been an issue for more than a year, and the city has yet to make a decision on its resurrection. The commission needs to look at how the 190,000-square-foot building will affect Lawrence and its community. Lawrence does not need another discount store that will only hurt the local economy. People go to Wal-Mart for low prices and for a one-stop shop. We have that, with many of our local discount stores. One more is unnecessary. People like Lawrence and come to Lawrence for a reason: the shops, local and friendly, are hard to find in growing metropolitans. If a Wal-Mart Super Center OURVIEW The Lawrence community has always valued and supported local businesses. Walmart is not local. We already have one; no need to have another. comes to town, many of Lawrence's local stores will not only suffer, but will likely be closed. A mom-and-pop store will never be able to compete with that demon of a smiley face Wal-Mart has to offer. The Lawrence economy cannot handle another huge chain store coming to town. The ones in existence seem to suffice just fine and do we really need two Wal-Marts? A new Wal-Mart would bring more jobs, but are they jobs that people can really support themselves on? Wal-Mart has not been known to pay its cashiers and sales people much over minimum wage and offers little to no healthcare benefits. We need to bring jobs to Lawrence that pay well. Lawrence citizens should be able to support themselves on one job. They should receive benefits. The new Wal-Mart would also cause more traffic in an already highly trafficked area. The new store would be by Lawrence Free State High School that already has high traffic population. A big store would only bring more congestion. The Lawrence City Commission needs to look to community members for input. This Wal-Mart will do more harm than good. It will hurt the local economy and in the end, destroy more jobs than it would create. Wal-Mart should take its smiley faces elsewhere.

Zach Stinson for The University Daily Kansas MILITARY ACTION Student called to military duty; no more drinking games I was an everyday student. One of the those who drank too much on the weekends and perhaps indulged during the week. COMMENTARY P. A. H. Marla Keown opinion@kansan.com jects varying from social problems in America to bad chi and its relation to the KU football team. And every Monday, Wednesday and Friday you could find me leaning against Wescoe Hall's fourth-floor wall studying the German language while munching on some sushi. Nov. 12, 2003, was the day that turned my everyday student life upside down. It was 12:05 p.m. and I had exactly 25 minutes to cram for my upcoming German test. At 12:07 p.m. my phone rang. Neighboring crammers turned their heads toward me as if their evil glares would somehow silence my ringer. I picked up the phone and stared at the caller ID—it was my Army Reserve Unit on the other end. My gut dropped as I forced my thumb to push the green receiving button. "Rather than taking shots during a round of Presidents and Assholes, I find myself doing sets of pushups when my shots are off with my weapon." "Keown, it's Nash, has anyone from the unit called you yet?" Nash, my unit "Hello?" I nervously answered, praying that the holy grail of knowledge would somehow turn this approaching conversation into anything but what my gut already felt. administrator, asked. "Nnnooo ... called me about what?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer. "You've been attached to the 308th Transportation Company out of Lincoln, Neb. You need to report to the unit at noon on Monday," she said in a matter of fact way, as if the monotone voice would make the news less terrifying. "OK ... what? Monday? OK, but ... OK, I have to go take a test. No, I don't. I have to go. I'll call you back later ... is that OK?" I said as my stomach tied itself in knots that even the best Boy Scout would be proud of. "That's fine, I'll call you later when I get more information," Nash said. "Don't worry Keown, it's going to be OK." Then I hung up the phone and spent what seemed like an eternity staring at the horribly carpeted floor. "Marla, are you OK?" Joey, my friend, asked me. "Do you have a cigarette?" I asked as I held back tears. I spent the remaining 22 minutes on cram time outside of Wescoe Hall, chain smoking Joey's cigarettes, crying, leaving messages on my parents' voice mail and trying to figure out what the hell I was supposed to do now. It's been two months since that life-changing phone call. I'm not an everyday student anymore. Now I'm training to be an everyday soldier. For the first month, home was my hotel room in Lincoln. Neb. Now home consists of barracks built during the Vietnam War in good old' Ft. Riley. Instead of taking classes about German articles or Eastern Asian holidays, I'm enrolled in life-saving classes. I've become a Combat Life Saver; which means more weight for me to carry. If a fellow truck driver gets hurt, a Combat Life Saver is the one to stabilize them until the paramedic gets there. This includes anything from dealing with heat stroke, to open chest wounds, to applying a tourniquet, to administering an IV. Instead of playing drinking games on the weekends with my everyday KU There are more classes in the future as well. Classes that will consist of map reading, how to attach a tow-bar to a semi-truck, how to plot points on a GPS system and how to react to an ambush — something that has been occurring all too often to truck drivers overseas. friends, I play everyday soldier games. These include practicing breathing, aiming a gun and proper squeezing of the trigger. Rather than taking shots during a round of Presidents and Assholes, I find myself doing sets of pushups when my shots are off with my weapon. I hope my fellow truck drivers and I will return safely home when our time of service is done. Until that day comes I hope to spread a new kind of knowledge to the everyday KU student.

Shouting "Down with Aristide!" members of a broad opposition alliance known as the Democratic Platform massed for the demonstration in Port-au-Prince, saying they didn't support violence but shared the same goal as the rebels _ ousting the embattled president. Militants loyal to Aristide crushed a similar anti-government demonstration on Thursday, stoning opponents and blocking the protest route. There has been a steady string of protests since mid-September. "We're still dealing with pacific, nonviolent means, but let me tell you we have one goal," said Gilbert Leger, a lawyer and opposition member. "We do support (rebel) efforts." The rebels launched a rebellion nine days ago from Gonaides, 70 miles northwest of Port-au-Prince and Haiti's fourth-largest city, seeking to oust Aristide. The rebels have fortified Gonaides with flaming barricades, rusted cars and discarded refrigerators. Although the rebels are still thought to number less than Haiti's 5,000-member police force, paramilitary leaders and police living in exile in the Dominican Republic have reportedly joined them. Two Dominican soldiers were killed on the Dominican border at Dajabon on Saturday and their weapons were taken from them. It was unclear who was responsible for the killings, but in recent days a force of 20 men led by exiled paramilitary leader Louis-Jodel Chamblain crossed the border. Dominican President Hipolito Mejaia said Sunday that authorities would arrest any Haitian suspected of taking part in the uprising who tries to enter the Dominican Republic. Louis-Jodel Chamblain, a former Haitian soldier who headed army death squads in 1987 and a militia known as the Front for the Advancement and Progress of Haiti, or FRAPH, which killed and maimed hundreds of people between 1991 and 1994, was seen in Gonaives by several witnesses. Chamblain fled to the Dominican Republic after U.S. troops were sent to restore Aristide to power and end a bloody dictatorship in 1994. Philippe, a former police chief who fled to the Dominican Republic after being accused by the Haitian government of trying to organize a coup in 2002. Witnesses reached by telephone said the men were working with rebels in Gonaïves but were massing in Saint-Michel de l'Atalaye, about 28 miles to the east. Dominican Gen. Fernando Cruz Mendez said Philippe would be arrested if he tried to reenter the Dominican Republic. In May, Haiti's foreign minister visited the Dominican Republic requesting that authorities turn over Philippe. Dominican officials had detained him earlier that month but released him after finding no evidence to support claims he was plotting against Haiti's government. No extradition treaty exists between the neighboring countries. Meanwhile in Jamaica, police detained 10 Haitians, including eight police officers, who arrived Saturday by boat to Jamaica's eastern shore requesting political asylum. Police seized eight guns and some ammunition from the men. Immigration authorities were reviewing their asylum requests. Discontent has grown in this Caribbean country of 8 million people since Aristide's party swept flawed legislative elections in 2000 and international donors froze millions of dollars. Iraq, Bush on agenda for debate The Associated Press John Kerry accused President Bush of repeating Vietnam-era mistakes in Iraq and pledged on Sunday to combat Republican attacks while rivals Howard Dean and John Edwards faced pressure to cede the nomination to the Democratic front-runner. Looking ahead to a matchup with President Bush, Kerry said during a Wisconsin debate. "I'm prepared to stand up to any attack they come at me with. I'm ready for what they throw at me." Edwards replied, "No so fast, John Kerr." Resisting Kerry's suggestion that the nomination fight was ending, Edwards said, "We're going to have an election here in Wisconsin this Tuesday and we got a whole group of primaries coming up, and I, for one, intend to fight with everything I've got for every one of those votes." Dean tried to sound just as confident, calling Kerry "a fine person. And if he wins the nomination, I'm going to support him. But I intend to win the nomination." Kerry leads Dean, Edwards and two other Democrats in Wisconsin, where Democrats hold a critical primary Tuesday. The Massachusetts senator, victor in 14 of 16 contests, hopes to force his major foes from the race with another overwhelming victory. Dean's own advisers are urging him to abandon the fight if he loses Tuesday and predicted that he soon would. "I would say that this president, regrettably has perhaps not learned some of the lessons of that period of time, when we had a very difficult war." John Kerry Democratic candidate "We are not bowing out," Dean told The Associated Press before the debate. But campaign chairman Steve Grossman said that with a loss Tuesday, Dean would marshal his political network on behalf of the party and Kerry. "When Howard Dean says he's not going to quit, what he means is the battle to restore democracy and citizen participation is longterm and he's not going to quit on that battle," Grossman told the AP. The 90-minute debate, perhaps the last of the primary season, ended without Kerry stumbling or taking heavy flak from Dean and Edwards. They may not get another shot. Uncharacteristically, Dean pulled his punches in the debate — passing up an opportunity to repeat his criticism of Kerry for accepting special interest money. Instead, the fallen front-runner seemed to defend Kerry against criticism from the White House. "I think George Bush has some nerve attacking anybody on special interests," Dean said, though he added that both parties kow-tow to special interests. Even on the war in Iraq, the issue that divides Dean most deeply from Kerry, the former Vermont governor was more polite than pugilistic. "Any of us who support sending troops, have a responsibility for what happens to those troops," he said, noting that Edwards and Kerry backed Bush's war resolution. "My regret is not the vote," Kerry said. "My regret is this president choosing the wrong way, rushing to war." A week after raising questions about Bush's Vietnam-era service in the National Guard, the fourterm senator and decorated Vietnam veteran refused to comment on the controversy. But Kerry said, "I would say that this president, regrettably, has perhaps not learned some of the lessons of that period of time, when we had a very difficult war." On Iraq, he repeated, "I think this president rushed to war." Kerry avoided direct answers to questions about his shifting positions on trade, education and Bush's anti-terrorism legislation. Edwards made light of the front-runner's long-winded style. "That's the longest answer I've ever heard to a yes-or-no question," he said after Kerry's remarks on Iraq. Edwards landed glancing blows against Kerry on trade, health care and the budget, but focused his heaviest attack on Bush. "Certainly, the integrity and character of the president of the United States is at issue," he said. Edwards, a freshman senator from North Carolina, is in a slightly better position than Dean to survive a defeat Tuesday. While Dean is winless and running out of credibility, Edwards won his native South Carolina and has impressed Democrats with his polished, upbeat style. After Wisconsin and its 72 delegates, the remaining candidates will focus on March 2 elections in California, New York, Ohio and seven other states. Edwards hopes Wisconsin voters will bounce Dean from the race, leaving him standing alone against Kerry. The scenario presumes that Edwards would do well enough Tuesday to keep money flowing into his campaign, even as party donors and leaders rally behind Kerry. The trial lawyer's backers say the odds are steep, and they won't rule out the possibility that Edwards will be forced from the race this week. Republicans kept working on the assumption that Kerry would face Bush. Before the debate, GOP chairman Ed Gillespie accused Kerry of hypocrisy for voting in favor of Bush's education and Iraq policies then railing against them as a candidate. Dennis Kucinich and Al Sharpton, neither with a hope of winning the nomination, also participated in the debate. The debate was held at Marquette University in Milwaukee. It was sponsored by Journal Communications, WTMJ-TV and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. MCKENZIE: Bill-writer's brother pushed for freshman elections CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A Last year McKenzie wrote a bill that allowed freshmen to vote for senators in an online election in the fall. Senate failed the bill, a setback McKenzie said was mainly because of opposition from KUUnited coalition members. McKenzie gathered enough signatures to put the bill on the spring ballot as a student referendum. The referendum passed 2,204 to 815, and this fall, freshmen elected senators for the first time. "He worked really hard on that, and it's going to pay big dividends on campus in the end," Swenson said. McKenzie called the project one of the Senate accomplishments he was most proud of. He said lately he'd been working more on rules and regulation changes. "Just basically making sure we work more efficiently," McKenzie said. Because the vice president is responsible for running Senate meetings, knowledge of rules and regulations is key to the position. Swenson said it was one of McKenzie's strengths. "He knows Senate better than almost anyone in Delta Force," Swenson said. "I told the group this is one thing I see Kevin really being able to handle." - Edited by Collin LaJoie DUNLAP: Experience in Senate could play large role for candidate CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A "Everybody has ideas, but when it comes to the minutiae, the details of how we're going to get there, Jeff has an excellent grasp of the whole system," Munch said. Dunlap said lately he had been working on projects like the new Multicultural Resource Center, online course evaluations and funding for clubs. He said he couldn't name a project he was most proud of. "Every week I'm proud of the work we do, so it's hard to say just one is important." Dunlap said. Dunlap said one of his goals, if elected, would be to increase unity within Senate. He said the election process often left bad feelings among senators that lingered throughout the year and sometimes hurt productivity. Current vice president Catherine Bell was elected with KUnited last year. Dunlap said she provided a good model for increasing unity within Senate. "One thing I've noticed about Catherine is that she really is great at working with all kinds of people," Dunlap said. "She has such a great attitude and keeps everyone enthusiastic about Senate." — Edited by Collin LaJoie FOSSIL: University researcher, curator work with new insect species CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A When the bug bit was discovered in the early 19th century, limited technology made it impossible to determine what sort of arthropod the mandibles belonged to. But with improved microscopes and optical technology, Engel and David Grimaldi, curator of the American Museum of Natural History and co-author of the paper, noticed right away "I stuck it under a scope, kind of did a double take,and almost gasped." Michael Engel Kansas researcher "I stuck it under the scope, kind of did a double take, and that the mandibles were unusual for an arthropod from the Rhynie chert. almost gasped," he said. The two quickly discerned that the mandibles belonged to a true insect. Early precursors to insects only had one knob per mandible, A true insect can be identified by several characteristics, but most important to Engel were some unique traits of the mandibles. Mandibles attach to an insect's head with knob-like structures, like the ball of the arm in the shoulder socket. but Rhyniognatha had two, like a true insect. The mandibles were also attached to structures called apodemes. They are a sort of internal skeleton for the insect's head. In addition, the knobs were attached in a way almost identical to those of a major line of winged insects called Metapterv- The two pieces of information provided strong evidence that the fossil was indeed a true insect. "Before I could make any judgment of the correctness of the interpretation of the fossil, I'd want to see it," Bvers said. He added that if Engel and Grimaldi's theory stands the test of time, Rhyniiognatha would be a significant discovery for the field of paleoentomology. George Byers, curator emeritus of the KU Natural History Museum, said that as with any discovery, he was approaching the matter with caution. The discovery of Rhyniognatha is literally re-writing the history books — especially the one Engel is currently writing on the subject of insect evolution. "I had just finished the sections on origins of flight and the origins of insects, and I had to throw out my chapters that I had just written, and re-write them," Engel said.

"Gentlemen, start your engines!" Bush said, squinting up from pit road to the grandstands, where some 180,000 fans roared. They were promptly drowned out by the scream of stock car engines roaring to life. His motorcade took a slow half-lap around the flat shoulder of the track, whose banks rise so steeply that a stopped car would probably roll end-over-end down to the bottom. Bush seemed to relish a chance to see what he called "one of America's great sporting spectacles." With his wife, Laura, trailing him, Bush walked the pit, mingling with drivers, shaking hands with fans. He peered into car No. 16, sponsored by the National Guard, and if the car reminded him of the tempest swirling around his own service in the Texas Air National "It would've been fun to drive up on these banks... I'd like to, but I'm afraid the agents wouldn't let me." Bush referred to that history in an interview with NBC just before the race. Guard, he didn't show it. "I flew fighters when I was in the Guard, and I like speed," he said. "It would've been fun to drive up on these banks... I'd like to, but I'm afraid the agents wouldn't let me." At the Southern 500 race in Darlington, S.C., Clinton was booed and heckled by fans, many shouting "draft dodger!" at him. The president got a much warmer reception than Bill Clinton did when he visited a NASCAR race as a candidate in September 1992, when the question of his lack of Vietnam-era military service was dogging Clinton. President Bush As Bush strode through pit row, he received rock-star treatment. An extravaganza unfolded phrase "NASCAR dads" has become political shorthand for voters who like Bush but who could be persuaded to vote Democratic if the issues and candidates were right. A man with a rocket strapped to his back sailed into the speedway, followed, a short time later, by a bald eagle that landed on its trainer's arm. Fireworks erupted, cheerleaders danced, Leann Rimes sang R-O-C-K in the USA. "If you've never been to a Daytona 500, it's hard for me to describe what it like to be down here with the drivers and to see the huge crowd and to feel the excitement for one of America's great sporting spectacles," Bush said. around him. The first couple watched the race from a suite, protected from the eardrum-shattering blast of noise, the gust of wind and the trail of flying debris that washed over the grandstands each time the 43 cars sped past. The cars reach speeds of up to 200 mph. "This is more than an event; it's a way of life for a lot of people, and you can feel excitement when you're here," Bush said. The race provided an irresistible opportunity for Bush to woo tens of millions of NASCAR fans_the sport claims a fan base of 75 million _watching the televised event 81/2 months before the election. The crowd in the stands was almost exclusively white and heavily male. The It was also a plum chance to make a 19th visit to Florida, the state that decided the 2000 election. Bush's appearance culminated his aggressive courtship of NASCAR fans, a large percentage of whom live in bedrock Bush country, the South and the Midwest. The Bush White House has added NASCAR winners to the list of sports champions formally honored at the White House. In December, as Bush paid tribute to drivers inside the White House, seven NASCAR stock cars were parked on the South Lawn. Underscoring the political stakes, the Republican National Committee set up camp at the speedway to register potential voters. Bush sought to maximize his exposure to racing fans during his visit. Air Force One circled low over the speedway so the president could get a look, and to give racing fans a dramatic look at a symbol of the presidency. Mall fire kills 53 in China The Associated Press BEIJING — A fire at a crowded shopping mall killed at least 53 people yesterday in China's northeast, while 39 died in a blaze in a temple in the southeast, state media said. The fires added to a string of deadly accidents despite repeated government vowes to improve public safety. Fires, coal mine accidents and other disasters blamed on shoddy construction, indifference to safety rules and other negligence occur frequently in China, killing scores of people at a time. President Hu Jintao and other officials have vowed to make safety for ordinary Chinese a priority. But repeated crackdowns and threats to punish negligent officials appear to be having little effect. The government says the number of people killed in industrial accidents last year jumped by 9 percent from the previous year. The shopping center fire broke out at about 11:20 a.m. on the second floor of the five-story Zhongbai Building in Jilin, a city about 590 miles northeast of Beijing, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. It said the blaze apparently began in a storeroom next to a boiler room. About 70 people also were injured, Xinhua said. "It was an especially large fire," said Fang Wanyou, a city government spokesman reached by telephone in Jilin. "The cause is still being investigated." The building was crowded with weekend shopers, Xinhua said. It said it took about 260 firefighters more than four hours to extinguish the blaze. Many of the dead were sales clerks, and firefighters were among the injured, Fang said. He said it wasn't clear why the fire spread so fast. The temple fire broke out at about 2:15 p.m. in Wufeng, a village in Zhejiang province, Xinhua said. It said firefighters put out the blaze about 30 minutes later. The cause was under investigation. The village is about 60 miles southwest of Shanghai. The report didn't say whether the temple was Buddhist or of China's indigenous Taoist faith. China has suffered a string of incidents in recent weeks that have killed scores of people. Less than two weeks ago, 37 people were killed in a stampede in Beijing during a festival celebrating the last night of the Lunar New Year holiday. Also during the holiday, a bus crash in China's southeast killed 24 people. In December, a gas well blowout in the country's west killed 243 people leaving entire villages strewn with bodies. Hu, who took power last year in a generational leadership change, says he wants to create a "well-off society" that pays attention to quality of life as well as economic growth. In Jilin, state television showed smoke billowing from the shopping mall, with flames visible through its broken windows and its rooftop sign completely charred. The building's upper floors had a bathhouse, a billiard parlor and a disco. Xinhua said, although the fire began in the shopping area. Fang said there also were restaurants in the building. Ban on gas additive shelved the Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Bush administration quietly shelved a proposal to ban a gasoline additive that contaminates drinking water in many communities, helping an industry that has donated more than $1 million Republicans. The Environmental Protection Agency's decision had its origin in the early days of President Bush's tenure when his administration decided not to move ahead with a Clinton-era regulatory effort to ban the cleanair additive MBTE. It said the environmental harm of the additive leaching into ground water overshadowed its beneficial effects to the air. The Bush administration decided to leave the issue to Congress, where it has bogged down over a proposal to shield the industry from some lawsuits. The producers of MBTE are Texas-based Lyondell Chemical and Valero Energy and the Huntsman companies of Salt Lake City. The three contributed $338,000 to George W. Bush's presidential campaign, the Republican Party and Republican candidates in 1999 and 2000. That is twice what they gave Democrats, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Since then, the three producers have given just over $1 million to Republicans. Huntsman spokesman Don Olsen, echoing comments by other MTNBE producers, said, "We are not a huge campaign contributor and this has absolutely nothing to do with campaign donations. It has to do with good public policy." The industry says it has become a victim in a Washington power struggle. Couples line up for same-sex marriages The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Demand for same-sex marriage licenses has been so great that yesterday officials turned away hundreds of gay and lesbian couples lined up outside City Hall, saying they simply didn't have the time or resources to meet all the requests. San Francisco authorities calculated they could process 400 licenses during special weekend hours, but on Saturday they granted 600 licenses and performed 270 weddings by late afternoon. Then officials gave numbers to 320 couples securing them places in line yesterday. After quickly distributing another 80 numbers yesterday morning, disappointed couples lined up around the block were asked to return today. "We're at capacity right now," said Mabel Teng, the official who oversees marriage licenses for city government. "We normally do about 20-30 couples a day. We're doing about 50-60 an hour." The decision prompted two conservative groups to press for court intervention. But on Friday a judge allowed the weddings to continue through the weekend. In a challenge to both legal and social convention, San Francisco officials began issuing same-sex licenses and officiating marriages at City Hall on Thursday. The issue returns to court tomorrow, when judges will hear separate requests from advocates of traditional marriage to void the licenses and order the city to stop giving them out.

The team dropped a heart-breaker in the final game yesterday as the Cardinal hit a walk-off grand slam to take a 10-6 victory. The Jayhawks had a 6-3 lead going into the bottom of the ninth, but Clint Schambach loaded the bases with one out. Junior pitchers Jacob lean and Ken Livesey were brought in to try and stop the Cardinal run, but were unsuccessful as the Cardinal tied the score at 6-6. Sophomore pitcher Tyson Both of came out to try to extend the game, but Stanford's Brian Hall blasted Bothof's first pitch out of the park for a game-winning grand slam. The victory moved Stanford to 8-1 for the season. The Jayhawks were leading for nearly the entire game. They took a quick, 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning with RBI from junior Sean Richardson and senior Matt Tribble. In response, Stanford replaced starting pitcher Matt Jecem, who recorded just one out, with reliever David O'Hagan. The Jaya-hawks took advantage of an O'Hagan wild pitch, scoring their final run of the inning. O'Hagan was able to control his pitches after the first inning as he went 7.2 innings and struck out five. Kansas' starting pitcher, junior Mike Zagurski, walked two batters to start the third inning and gave up three runs as Stanford closed the gap to 4-3. Junior Travis Metcalf hit a homerun in the top of the eighth to give Kansas a 5-3 lead. For the game, eight Jayhawks had hits, but none of the players had multiple hits. In Saturday's game, Metcalf hit two homeruns, but the team combined for just seven hits overall, falling to Stanford 6-3. Metcalf had three homeruns during the series and lead the team with four homeruns on the season. Starting pitcher Chris Smart lasted just 2.2 innings on Saturday, giving up four earned runs and throwing three wild pitches. The loss moves Smart to 2-3 for the year.The 'Hawks also fell in Friday's game, 7-1. Senior Ryan Knippschild started the game and went 6.1 innings. Knippschild gave up four earned runs on ten hits and took the loss, moving him to 1-2 on the season. The team's only run, which allowed it to briefly take the lead, came in the top of the first inning with a single by Jared Schweitzer, which scored sophomore Matt Baty from second base. The Jayhawks had three errors in the contest, which led to three of the Cardinal's runs. Sean Richardson went 4-4 in the game and was the only Jayhawk with multiple hits in the contest.

The team split up and went to two events. Some members competed at the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark. while the rest of the team went to Ames, Iowa for the Iowa State University Classic. In Arkansas, senior Leo Bookman finished second in the 200 meter dash with a time of 20.82. It was Bookman's second fastest time of the year.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. triumphs in Daytona 500 race GUARNERI 3 MYERS VB Edited by Cindy Yeo The Associated Press Courtesy of KTF Dale Earnhardt Jr. celebrated his first Daytona 500 victory with his crew yesterdav. DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Daddy would have been proud. Dale Earnhardt Jr., taking a page from the old man, barreled past Tony Stewart and won the Daytona 500 yesterday on the same track that claimed his father's life three years ago. Junior showed the impatience of youth, needing only five tries to win the race that bedeviled his late father for 19 years. "He was over in the passenger side with me," the 29-year-old Earnhardt said during a jubilant celebration in Victory Lane. "I'm sure he was having a blast." time champion and its most famous driver.Well, the next generation is in good hands. The race was attended by President Bush, launched the Nextel Cup era and came six years to the day that the Intimidator won his first _ and only _ Daytona 500 on his 20th try. It's still one of the sport's most cherished scenes: the black No. 3 car rolling down pit road while every rival crew lined up to congratulate Earnhardt before he pulled into Victory Lane. In a move that must have been borrowed from the Intimidator, Junior dipped to the inside without any drafting help and went past Stewart in the trioval with 20 laps remaining. "I can't believe I passed him by myself," Junior said. "I don't know what was going on. It was like a magic trick." Stewart tried valiantly to catch up, briefly pulling beside Earnhardt coming out of turn two. But Junior showed his muscle on the backstretch, keeping Stewart in the rearview mirror. That's where Stewart stayed the rest of the way. Earnhardt pulled away on the final lap, winning by about four car lengths while the crowd of 180,000 many of them wearing Junior's red and white colors — erupted in celebration.

Three years later, he was killed on a last-lap crash in the 500, depriving the sport of a seven- "I was taught so many lessons by this place before I ever got behind the wheel," Earnhardt said. "I'm glad I don't have to worry about (winning the 500) anymore. That's awesome." Earnhardt came back around and stopped his car at the checkered finish line. He pumped his fist and jumped into the arms of his crew, who lifted him on their shoulders for all to see. Then he climbed back into the No. 8 Stewart led 97 laps — nearly half the 200-lap event — but he didn't have enough to hold off Earnhardt, who set the pace for 59. "It's nice to see him get his victory, too," Stewart said. "I think his father is proud today. I wanted to win the race. Trust me, if I could have held him off, I would have. "But there was no holding that kid back. Today was his day." A frightening crash on lap 72 took out defending race winner Michael Waltrip, whose car flipped at least three times and wound up landing on its roof in the backstretch. He wasn't injured. Rookie Scott Wimmer held on for a surprising third-place finish. He briefly held the lead after gambling on his final pit stop — taking only two tires — but he didn't have enough grip to hold on. COLLEGE BASKETBALL Missouri beats UNLV by 34-point margin It was the type of performance expected all season from Missouri, which was ranked No. 5 in the preseason and as high as No. 3 in mid-December but has stumbled since then. COLUMBIA, Mo. — For one game, puzzling Missouri put it all together. The Tigers scored on 21 of 22 possessions in a dominating first half, and got a season-best 23 points from Arthur Johnson and a career-best 20 from freshman Thomas Gardner in a 94-60 victory over UNLV on Sunday. "A game like this, and they'll be walking a little taller tomorrow on campus," coach Quin Snyder said. "And that's good for them." Red Lyon Tavern "They deserve that right now and that's something we can build on." The Tigers (11-10) played their most complete game of a mostly discombobulated season, taking a commanding 54-27 lead and hitting a season-best 13 3-pointers.

No waiting for punches Instructor Ethan Day demonstrated a Jiu-Jitsu move on David Tran, Wichita freshman, last night at the Student Recreation Fitness Center. Day teaches Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, a Brazilian martial art that uses leverage and submission to defeat opponents. "There's no such thing as waiting around for punches," Day said, explaining his strategy. Yankees, Rangers agree on Rodriguez trade; commissioner to make decision The Associated Press NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez moved one step away from playing for the New York Yankees. New York and Texas finalized the terms of a trade Sunday, and the players' association gave its approval. The last hurdle was for commissioner Bud Selig to OK the deal, a high-ranking baseball official said on the condition of anonymity. The Rangers will pay $67 million of the $179 million left on the AL MVP's record contract. Texas will get All-Star second baseman Alfonso Soriano and a player to be named. Selig told the teams he would not decide on the deal until Monday at the "I was just as surprised as the Yankee fans and the Boston Red Sox fans when I opened up my paper today," President Bush, the Rangers' former owner, told NBC at the Daytona 500. "It, obviously, is a big deal. T ... A Rod's a great player and the Yanks are going to be a heck of a team with him in the infield." Rodriguez Texas will wind up paying $140 million for three seasons with Rodriguez. The Yankees will owe him $112 million for seven years. In New York, he would switch from shortstop — Yankees captain Derek Jeter's position — to third base. Under the deal, the Yankees would pay Rodriguez $15 million in each of the next three seasons, $16 million each in 2007 and 2008, $17 million in 2009 and $18 million in 2010, according to contract information obtained by the AP from player and management sources. In each of the first four years, $1 million would be deferred without interest, to be paid in 2011. The trade calls for Texas to pay $43 million of Rodriguez's salary over the remaining seven years: $3 million in 2004, $6 mil- ion each in 2005 and 2006, $7 million apiece in 2007 and 2009, $8 million in 2008 and $6 million in 2010. In addition, the Rangers will pay the $24 million remaining in deferred money from the original contract, with the interest rate lowered from 3 percent to 2 percent. All the deferred money owed by Texas — $36 million, including salaries from 2001-03 — will be lumped with the original $10 million signing bonus, of which $4 million is still owed. The payout schedule will be pushed back to 2016-2025 from 2011-20. In exchange for the alterations, which devalue the contract slightly, Rodriguez will receive a hotel suite on road trips and have the right to link his Web site to the Yankees' site. West gets victory in All-Star exhibition The Associated Press In a game featuring 44 dunks and 16 botched free throws—half of the 32 that were attempted —the West defeated the East 136-132 Sunday night. LOS ANGELES — In an All-Star game that was all about dunks, Tim Duncan's free throw — a rarity on this evening — with 2.1 seconds left provided an anticlimactic ending to the NBA's showcase event. Shaquille O'Neal was the game's MVP with 24 points in 24 minutes. 18 of them on dunks. Kobe Bryant — the other hometown player — added 20 points on 9-for-12 shooting. "Can you dig it?" O'Neal screamed to the crowd afterward. They dug it, all right, just not at the end. And they briefly weren't digging Bryant, either, when he casually put in a layup early in the fourth quarter despite being alone ahead of the field. It was a rare instance of the local crowd treating Bryant poorly, though the booing was very brief and seemed a bit lighthearted. The glamour and glitz quotient was high, the arena filled with movie stars, beautiful people and celebrities of every ilk. The players gave them a show, complete with a new twist of wearing mismatched sneakers, but the climax was not the type of Hollywood ending everyone would have preferred. Bryant had a steal and what should have been a 3-pointer with 1:20 left, but the officials only counted it as a 2-pointer — tying the game 131-131. O'Neal fouled Tracy McGrady with 37 seconds left, but McGrady could only make one of two from the line. The West got the ball to Duncan on its next possession for a 10-foot bank shot that put them ahead 133-132 with 26.1 seconds left. McGrady's alley-oop pass to Jermaine O'Neal went out of bounds, and Ray Allen's two free throws with 14.4 seconds left put the West ahead by three. The East got the ball to sharpshooting first-time All-Star Michael Redd for a 3-point attempt, but the Milwaukee Bucks' shooting guard came up short and Duncan was fouled after grabbing the rebound. He calmly made the free throw, and that was it. Several of the stars tried to show something out of the ordinary _ aside from the shoes _ in the first quarter. Shaq stutter-stepped as he brought the ball upcourt and took it to the hole, Yao Ming tried a 3-pointer (an airball). Allen Iverson tried unsuccessfully to take Kevin Garnett one-on-one, and Bryant showed off a few streetball moves. The highlights of the quarter were a pair of alley-oop passes from Iverson to Vince Carter for resounding dunks, along with a lookaway underhanded lob pass from Jason Kidd to Kenyon Martin for another forceful slam.

PAGE 8A 12A The University Daily Kansan Monday, February 16, 2004 Nebraska embarrasses Kansas Coaches, players attribute recent road losses to lack of commitment ANS By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Junior forward Wayne Simien fought with Nebraska's Charles Richardson for a loose ball during second-half play yesterday. The 'Huskers defeated the Jayhawks, 74-55. LINCOLN, Neb. — Kansas' second blowout loss in as many games stems from one problem, according to Jayhawk coaches and players; commitment. the problems started before the game. The problems started before the game Kansas coach Bill Self is required to leave one of his sixteen players in street clothes on road games. Instead of choosing from walk-ons Steven Vinson and Brett Olson as he normally does, Self opted to sit senior forward Jeff Graves at the end of the bench, saying he ranked sixteenth on the team in terms of effort and commitment. and Committed Then, Selfinserted seldom-used backups Vinson, Moulaye Niang and Omar Wilkes into the game in the first half, sitting starters Keith Langford and Aaron Miles on the bench. KANSAS 55 - NEBRASKA 74 All of this contributed to Nebraska's cause (14-7 overall, 4-6 Big 12 Conference) en route to a 74-55 defeat of 13th ranked Kansas (15-6, 7-3). It was Jayhawks' second straight lopsided defeat and their third straight road loss. After the game, Kansas' veterans said they believed that if the team wants to end its recent woes, everyone must buy into the same goals. KANSAS(15-6) "It's a big distraction," junior forward Wayne Simien said of the team's lack of overall commitment. "Guys need to realize that when you put the jersey on, you're playing for more than just yourself. Whether you're not getting any minutes, whether you're not making shots or whether you haven't been playing well the past couple of games, all that shouldn't matter. We're going to have to be able to grow and look past that and realize that we're representing something bigger than ourselves. Simien said he didn't know where the problem was rooted, but the team's commitment has never before been an issue during his time at Kansas. "We've got some guys that are committed, staying after, shooting, lifting weights and stuff like that. Then we've got other guys showing up late for classes, showing up late for practices, and don't have that effort in practice, and that stuff trickles down throughout the rest of the team. It's something you can't have and be successful with." As for the game, Self's altered starting lineup helped the Jayhawks defensively in the opening minutes. Junior guard Mike Lee started in place of freshman J.R. Giddens, which helped defend the perimeter. Nine minutes into the game, junior forward Wayne Simien had Kansas up 15-9 with nine points, including his first three-point field goal of the season. Then, the Jayhawks went on a scoring drought until the 6:54 mark in the first half. In that stretch, the Cornhuskers went on an 11-0 run, leading by as many as five points before halftime. The Jayhawks had a 28-27 lead going into locker room at the half.

Kansas freshman guard Nick Bahe, a Lincoln native, entered the game with 7:38 remaining and hit two three-pointers to pull Kansas within 12 points at 58-46. Kansas was held at arm's length down the stretch by Nebraska's consistency at the free-throw line. The Cornhuskers went a perfect 12-for-12 from the line, making them the second opponent in Kansas history to shoot a perfect 100-percent from the line in a game. That, coupled with Kansas' dismal 36.2-percent shooting, gave Kansas its first consecutive double-digit conference losses since 1983. "Bottom line, we lost because guys in there didn't do what they were supposed "In the first half, we could have got a bigger lead," Keith Langford said. "We played pretty good defense but didn't make any shots. to." Now Kansas will come back to Lawrence for two home games before next Monday's meeting with 11th ranked Texas in Austin, Texas. enforce and韧性QCm. The player Self calls his vocal leader, Aaron Miles, spent most of his time in the locker room after the game with his arms folded, staring at the wall. But the junior guard said the team would have to prepare for increased pressure. Kansas' upcoming home opponents this week, Baylor and Iowa State, are just 7-13 combined in Big 12 play. But the Jayhawks will have to solve their self-proclaimed problems with commitment, effort and unity quickly. "We know the media and fans are going to criticize us," Miles said. "We're going through some shit right now. We've got to take these lessons and learn from SEE NEBRASKA ON PAGE 7A Kansas' road effort lacking at Nebraska By Mike Norris mnorris@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter LINCOLN, Neb. — It's becoming a trend in the Big 12 Conference: Be ready to play when the Kansas Jayhawks comes to town. Yesterday's 74-55 loss to Nebraska loss was the third-straight road defeat for Kansas, marking the first time Kansas has lost three straight on the road since Feb. 17, 2001. Feb. 17, 2001 The loss drops Kansas to 7-3 in the Big 12, two games behind front-runner Oklahoma State, the team that whipped Kansas by 20 points at home just one week ago Junior forward Wayne Simien had 17 points and 12 rebounds for Kansas, but his performance wasn't enough to stop Nebraska. Simien started off hot with six points and four rebounds in the first seven minutes of the game, but once Nebraska began double-teaming the 6-foot-9, 250 pound forward, Kansas struggled to find an answer to Nebraska's offense. Simien said the team's effort on the road had been lacking. "We haven't been bringing the same energy, enthusiasm or intensity on the road as we have at the Fieldhouse," Simen said after yesterday's loss. The Nebraska crowd, a sell-out for the first time in two years, brought plenty of energy and enthusiasm to the game. It remained loud for the entire second half, especially in the first 10 minutes when the Cornhuskers outscored the Jayhawks 26-9. Kansas was not phased by the raucous crowd, said junior guard Keith Langford, but the energy the crowd generated egged on Nebraska. "We drew a lot of energy from the crowd," Nebraska senior guard Nate Johnson said. "We knew that if we could get them into the game they would help us as a sixth man on the court." The Cornhuskers shot 63 percent in the second half and 56 percent for the game. Nebraska also connected on eight of 16 three-point attempts, and all 12 of its free throws. its tree grown Underneath the basket, Nebraska forwards John Turek and Andrew Drevo combined for 28 points and 12 rebounds, mainly taking advantage of Kansas freshman center David Padgett. Kansas played with a smaller lineup for most of the game because of the absence of 6-foot-9 forward Jeff Graves, which Kansas coach Bill Self called a coach's decision. But Self did use Graves' absence as an excuse. "Give Nebraska credit," he said. "They kicked our butt." The Jayhawks are now 4-4 on the road, after winning seven of nine games away from Lawrence last season. But Kansas doesn't have another road game until next Monday when it travels to No.11 Texas.

No. 24 Oklahoma benefited from 25 Kansas turnovers in an 83-59 victory. The Sooners capitalized off of 13 Jayhawk turnovers in the first half, scoring 21 points off of the miscues. The problem for the Jayhawks turned out to be getting enough of those shots. "We had a tough hill to climb coming out in the second half. We tried to move it a little better, but just couldn't get our shots to fall." "We just couldn't get it together," Kansas interim coach Lynette Woodard Lynette Woodard Woman's Basketball coach said. The Jayhawks made 13 of its 25 shots in the first half—good for 52 percent from the floor — but still trailed 45-28 with the Sooners attempting 16 more shots in the first 20 minutes. "We had a tough hill to climb coming out in the second Woodard half," Woodard said. "We tried to move it a little better, but just couldn't get our shots to fall." Kansas trimmed the lead to nine when junior guard Blair Waltz nailed a jumper to make it 53-44 with 10 minutes remaining, but Oklahoma responded immediately.

Members of the Ellsworth Hall Community Standards Board will meet tonight to decide which residents meet the criteria and place them in a floor plan for next year. Returning residents who want to occupy one of the 225 rooms reserved for upperclassmen in Ellsworth are expected to help with the hall's Experiencing Excellence in Ellsworth (3E) program, said Mark Eisenbarth, chairman of the Ellsworth Community Standards Board. The Topeka sophomore said interested students submitted an application essay for the board to consider, along with their intent to return cards this month. Residents will be selected based on GPA, involvement in and understanding of the 3E program and their potential benefit to the program, Eisenbarth, Topeka sophomore, said. The standards board is working to build a different type of community at Ellsworth said Matt Crouse, assistant complex director for Ellsworth. The Frankfort, Ind., graduate student said the theory behind the hall was to focus on student retention and academic success. "That doesn't mean that you have to be a 4.0 student," Crouse said. "That means that you understand that you're here for your education, and we're here to help you with that." Experiencing Excellence in Ellsworth has gone from the single floor leadership program that it was before Ellsworth was renovated to a career and academic exploration project that includes the "We're looking for upperclassmen that are not coming to Ellsworth just because the rooms are nice. We're looking for students that are going to help us in the long run with this program." Matt Crouse assistant complex director for Ellsworth entire hall, Crouse said. The program is geared toward first-year students, Crouse said, which is why only 40 percent of the rooms in Ellsworth are allotted for returning upperclassmen. The application process is not meant to exclude returning students, he said. Instead, it is intended to inform them that the board is looking for residents who will be an asset to the 3E program. "We're looking for upperclassmen that are not coming to Ellsworth just because the rooms are nice," Crouse said. "We're looking for students that are going to help us in the long run with this program." Incoming freshmen request rather than apply to live in Ellsworth but are expected to take two online career assessments, interpret the results with a career counselor, and participate in various 3E sponsored programs, Crouse said. Kaleigh Bassett said she liked the fact that residents had to apply to return to Ellsworth. The Bethalto, Ill., freshman said Ellsworth was designed to be as much about learning as it was about living and the application process was necessary to find people that would take the initiative to help their peers.

Group fights smoking Businesses, city assess economic impact of ban By Ron Knox rknox@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Andrew Bullington, Lawrence sophomore, read a book at Henry's downtown yesterday afternoon. Bullington is against the idea of a public smoking ban in Lawrence. Jeff Brandsted/Kansan Inside Louise's Bar Downtown, cigarette butts overflow from ashtrays. It's the same at the Granada. Ditto for the Replay Lounge. But for the myriad of Lawrence bars, restaurants and coffee shops, the need for ashtrays may disappear. The 4-month-old Clean Air Lawrence group and its chairman Robert Campbell have taken their struggle to eliminate public smoking in Lawrence to newspapers, television and radio stations. Now, city officials and business owners must assess the economic impact a smoking ban would have, and Lawrence smokers might have to consider how to eat, drink and converse without a cigarette in their hand. Negative Impact negative impact Ten months after New York banned smoking in all public places, including bars and nightclubs, the New York And as soon as next month, they will take the fight to City Hall. Nightlife Association released an economic impact study Dec. 10 on the ban's effects on business at bars. Those numbers led to 34 percent of bars, hotels and nightclubs reducing staff since the ban took effect. Seventy-four percent of the businesses identified the ban as the cause for laffos, the study reported. Business owners in Lawrence fear a ban on smoking could have similar economic effect on local bars, restaurants and nightclubs. The Kansas Restaurant and Hospitality Association has seen the impact of similar bans in other cities in Kansas, and promises opposition should a ban in Lawrence reach the City Commission. Truckstops in Salina, which banned smoking city-wide last year, have seen a 20 percent drop in sales since the ban took effect, said Neeley Carlson, communications director for the association. SEE SMOKING ON PAGE 6A Stem cells could hold diabetes treatment By Bill Cross bcross@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Justin Goode was a normal sophomore at the University of Kansas. He had parties at his apartment, waited tables and loved his Nintendo Gamecube. But last January, his energy plummeted. First, he thought he had the flu. Then he thought he had mono. But all he knew was that he was always incredibly thirsty. "I just wanted to pee and drink lemonade," he said. Goode soon found out that at the age of 20, he had diabetes. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the rate of diabetes for those under 44 has doubled since 1985. In a medical breakthrough, South Korean scientists reported Friday that they successfully grew stem cells from cloned human embryos. Stem cells are unique because they can be developed into any cell Jonathan Li Director of etiology and prevention of hormonal cancers at KU Medical Center "Cells in an embryo can become anything: a pancreas, a neuron, a kidney cell." in the body, which means that they can be used for cloning or to cure diseases. Previously only a liver cell could replace another liver cell in the body. Now, stem cells can replace any cell in the body. The report, based on work by Woo Suk Hwang and Shin Yong Moon of Seoul National University, stressed that the goal was to treat diseases such as diabetes, not to produce cloned humans. Diabetes and Parkinson's disease are considered targets of stem cell research. Stem cells can be used to replace malfunctioning brain cells responsible for Parkinson's disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Centers for Diabetes Jonathan Li, director of etiology and prevention of hormonal cancers at KU Medical Center, said Goode and other diabetics would be among the first to benefit if stem cell research is successful. The stem cells could repair the liver and pancreas, the two organs most responsible for regulating blood sugar. Li said there were two different groups of stem cells. The embryonic stem cells produced in Korea were potentially more useful than the adult stem cells in the United States. The reason is because the adult stem cells created in the United States can only develop into certain cells in certain organs whereas the embryonic cells have a multitude of functions. "Cells in an embryo can become anything: a pancreas, a neuron, a kidney cell," he said. However, scientists in the United However, scientists in the United C 1.

STATE State legislators seek to raise education budget by $1 billion TOPEKA—A group of school officials has proposed a new school finance formula designed to satisfy a preliminary district court order that found the current system of funding schools in Kansas unconstitutional. The plan would add $1 billion to the existing $2.6 billion in annual state aid to school districts. It was drafted by the Salina and Dodge City school districts, which sued the state in 1999, and others in the Schools for Fair Funding coalition. Hays Superintendent Fred Kaufman said the plan addresses both fairness in school funding and giving districts enough money to provide a suitable education to all students. The package would increase base state aid per pupil to $5,033 from its current $3,863,as well as boost aid for special education, transportation and at-risk programs aimed at helping improve the performance of poor and minority students on standardized tests. Kaufman said legislators should give the plan serious consideration, instead of looking at putting more money into the current school finance formula, which Shawnee County District Judge Terry Bullock was broken. He later admonished the Legislature to "just go fix it." ON CAMPUS KUCALENDAR.COM The school districts drafted the proposal after the Dodge City and Salina superintendents received a written challenge from Senate President Dave Kerr, R-Hutchinson, seeking a solution. "I would hope they would look at it from a perspective that there is a real need for this," Kaufman said of lawmakers. —The Associated Press Ecumenical Christian Ministries is sponsoring a Faith Forum: A Liberating Take on Christianity from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m.at the ECM, 1204 Oread.

And as of now, only 20 students have accessed it. The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, west of the Lied Center, has 4,000 boxes of documents and artifacts in its archives from former senator Bob Dole's 36 years on Capitol Hill. Dole's collection is the largest outside of presidential collections. The documents, which had never been released to scholars until now, include Dole's speeches, letters and reports while he was in Congress. These documents contain all sorts of mysteries, said Jonathan Earle, associate director of the institute. Earle, who is also an assistant professor of history, has the students in his Senior Research Seminar class researching the Congressional documents from 1961 to 1969 for their 30-page paper. These students are the first who have accessed to the archive. Anyone may gain access to the archives by making a request to an institute archivist. The history students toured the archive but were not allowed to physically dig through documents. Instead, Dole archivists brought up documents that the students requested. "They seem excited in class because they get a chance to see what it's like to get real history," Earle said. "It's a chance to add something to the past." All of the raw materials in the archive are primary sources that the students can use for their papers. In other words, students aren't looking at the documents based on the slant of a secondary source such as a historian or journalist. Jean Bischoff, senior institute archivist, said students could research the archives through the database, microfilm and audio and videotapes at the reading room on the main floor in the institute. Earle's students have gained experience with using archives just like historians do. The archive was a wonderful source for students to learn about the 1960s, he said, with insights into Vietnam and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They can read letters between Dole and other presidents, watch video interviews and look at newspaper photos. It was unbelievable how many artifacts were down in the archives said Matt Tribble, Wheaton, Ill., senior in Earle's class. "I am thrilled to learn more about how he's contributed to the state of Kansas and to the country as a whole." Tribble said. His classmate Christine McConnell, Fort Montgomery, N.Y., senior, said she planned on being a historian and thought it was cool to search the archives. She said that Dole's gifts from various admirers interested her. Gifts included a piece of rock from the Panama Canal, a Nascar helmet signed by all the drivers, a hammock from the president of Nicaragua and a silk Viagra necktie. There were also photos, memorabilia and letters from former presidents such as John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. Dole's documents are still being added to the archives and he often calls the institute to access some of his papers. "Hopefully in the future, scholars from all around the world will come to the Dole Institute to look at this archive," Earle said. - Edited by Louise Stauffer Mp3s don't worry local sellers By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Although researchers claim compact discs will be obsolete in five years, local retailers aren't worried. Forrester Research issued a study claiming CDs will become relics, much like what happened to cassettes. With more and more consumers downloading digital songs on computers, the recording industry reported a $700 million loss last year. The advent of online music downloading programs and portable mp3 players, such as Apple Computer's iPod, have made downloading a cheaper option. Despite the grim outlook, local CD shops are confident their businesses can thrive by selling items that seem to have timeless value. "Everyone told me when I opened up that records wouldn't sell, but I sell more and more every day," said Love Garden co-owner Kory Willis. Willis said the downloading trend would affect larger chain retailers more than his store. Love Garden, 936 Massachusetts St., caters towards used CDs and independent label music. Willis said independent rock music had suffered comparatively little from online downloading as opposed to major record labels. "First off, they don't slap a $19.89 list price on their CDs, which is ridiculous," Willis said. Jerry Morton, owner of CD Tradepost, said he did not immediately fear the Forrester Research's prediction of the sun setting on CDs. His business added video games and movies to its selection to help offset the effects of dwindling CD sales. Furthermore, Morton did not think the downloading crisis would have such a drastic effect, mostly because many people still did not have access to music downloading technology. "We have customers as old as 84 and some as young as two-and-a-half." Morton said. "Not everyone in that age range is downloading music." CD Tradepost, 4000 W. Sixth Street, still thrives on VHS sales in its video department despite the introduction of DVDs. Other stores are finding ways to adapt to music downloading technology instead of scouting at the phenomena. 7th Heaven, 1000 Massachusetts St., allows its customers to return CDs, offering them a chance to burn a copy of it and receive store credit less $4 when they return them. Those CDs are then resold as used for a lower price. The approach is designed to make CDs cheaper for the consumer, whether they buy them new or used. Kristen Ferrell, manager, also doubted whether CDs will really become extinct. "I don't think CDs will ever become obsolete because people will want the artwork in their hands," Ferrell said. "You have to make it competitive and cheaper." Ferrell does acknowledge that the industry has suffered from music downloading, but said stores like hers can thrive by diversifying its selection. 7th Heaven also offers furniture, pipes and other tobacco paraphermalia. Whatever the approach, local retailers insist that selling CDs can always turn a profit and are not necessarily worried about the future of online downloading. "If I had to worry about everything I should worry about, I wouldn't get out of bed," Willis said. "Would you?" Edited by Joe Hartigan Journalism dean candidate shares ideas with students By Neeley J. Spellmeier nspellmeier@kansan.com Kansas staff writer A finalist for dean of journalism met with students yesterday to discuss what they would like to see in a new dean. Norton talked about improvements — from housekeeping to curriculum — he thought were necessary. A dozen undergraduate and graduate students asked Will Norton Jr., dean and professor at the University of Nebraska, questions on issues of convergence curriculum, specialization and fundraising, among others. "I see floors that need to be varnished, carpeting that needs shampooed, and four side doors but no front door," Norton said of Stauffer-Flint Hall, the School of Journalism building. He would like to see this improved, with an addition to Stauffer-Flint Hall that includes a grand entrance, he said. "So when you come in here, you feel like I've come into Yankee Stadium, and we're going to play the big boys today." he said. His ideas of what a school of journalism should be may come from his experiences at Nebraska. The school's building is four stories with 60,000 square feet. He said the building had 10 labs and a multimedia newsroom. Barb Kullbom is a senior in journalism from Lincoln, Neb., who had heard about Nebraska's facilities from friends who attended school there. She said she thought it was hard to understand his vision for the University's School of Journalism, but he seemed to care about student and faculty input. Norton believes in change, but not forcing it. A lot of change have occurred in the places he has worked, but it has slowly taken place, he said. He doesn't make changes without the complete consent of all his faculty members, he said. If he were to become dean, he would make changes, but it may take five to eight years to notice, he said. Fundraising is one area he is known for increasing at Nebraska, and something he would focus on at the University. At Nebraska, he began by starting scholarships, putting portions of the money donated away to draw interest, and then spending only the interest. Norton focused on how the University surpassed Nebraska in the strategic communications field, but Nebraska rivals the University in the news and information area. In the mid-1980s Norton said that he would have considered the University's School of Journalism to be the best school in the country for news and information, but that it hadn't maintained that reputation in recent years. The dean search committee will meet to discuss the candidate tomorrow. The school began its search this academic year when James Gentry, dean of journalism, decided to step down to return to the classroom. — Edited by Louise Stauffer TOP OF THE HILL 2004 Top of The Hill is your chance to vote for the best.

Bush's to trail his opponent seven months prior to election was the never-elected Gerald Ford. approval ratings are in perpetual decline, but they rose slightly after a less-than-impressive interview on Meet the Press, driving the Gallup poll to indicate a dead-heat between Bush and Kerry. With Wesley Clark's departure and endorsement of Kerry, the frontrunner's nomination is virtually guaranteed. And of course what's an election without sex? Matt Drudge of *Drudge Report* has begun throwing the i-word around, suggesting Kerry's involvement in "frantic behind-the-scenes drama surrounding a woman who recently fled the country." More sensationally, Clark, who endorsed Kerry this Friday, is rumored to have offhandedly mentioned Kerry's "intern problem" to a dozen reporters. Still, Bush himself has hardly escaped criticism. Internal investigations have been amazingly unproductive in developing criticism, and the case of a leak that jeopardized a CIA operative has remained suspiciously cold. The mainstream media have picked up the story that liberal blogs have been shouting for four years about Bush's questionable whereabouts during his National Guard tour. All of this, along with David Kay's testimony casting doubt upon the Bush administration's warnings of imminent danger, explicit or implied, has made the approaching election interesting. Beneath all of these issues is a failing economy and a ballooning deficit. Rarely have men elected by such narrow and questionable margins ruled so boldly. Therein lies the strength and weakness of the Bush administration. The implications of this race will remain far beyond the next president. Despite the wellspring of support garnished on the Democrats in recent months, there remains a Realizing the dangers of running on an unpopular war against a decorated vet. eran, the Bush administration has been playing catch-up in an effort to divert attention, yet has recently only fanned the flames by releasing inconclusive evidence of Bush's whereabouts. large contingent of those who have benefited under the Bush administration.

EDITORIAL BOARD Cornhuskers take name calling too far During Kansas's loss to Nebraska Sunday, the most embarrassing image was not that of the Jayhawks' poor play. For about five seconds of the game broadcast on ABC, the most resounding image was that of a fan-made sign that read "Rock Chalk Gayhawk." For five seconds on national television, a friendly conference rivalry was tainted. This sign was undoubtedly in poor taste, but the fact that it was seen on national television only made it worse, sending a bigoted and offensive message to viewers. Who was at fault? Nebraska is the first party that comes to mind. KU event staff often confiscates signs it deems offensive or inappropriate. Why would Neb- OURVIEW Nebraska fans took their taunting too far when they criticized a group's lifestyle instead of the team's performance. raska's Athletics Department allow a gay-bashing sign to remain in the stands? ABC is also at fault. While cameramen are trained to find a sign and point the camera, the producer in the truck decides what to air. To air a message so childish for the amount of time it was on television was downright unprofessional. This is the sort of harassment that teams expect when they travel to the Hearnes Center to play Missouri, the blatant hatred and lack of taste that has become known thanks to the Antlers fan club. But Nebraska? Nebraska and Kansas aren't even considered rivals, much less hated ones. There is a certain line that fans should not cross, and the Nebraska fans jumped over and rubbed their feet in the foul territory. Their event staff should take extra precautions to make sure this doesn't happen again in the future. Kansas fans, remember that one of the reasons Allen Fieldhouse is viewed as a Mecca for college basketball is because of the courtesy of its fans. When Nebraska travels here for the basketball game on Saturday, Feb.28, show them the same respect and kindness that is shown for all other visiting basketball teams. Cheer like you know you are capable and take the higher road. After all, it's one thing to yell about a team's weakness. It's another to bash a group of people for their lifestyles. ON POLITICS 'Exploring' Democrat's campaign exposes holes All evidence now suggests that John Kerry will be the Democratic nominee for president this year. To begin, I would like to extend Kerry one piece of genuine credit: his record of military service to our country in Vietnam is commendable. He was undoubtedly brave and possessed of a sense of duty to volunteer for hazardous positions in that horrific war. That being said, some of his present rhetoric is downright offensive, and this Intend to explore. As the Democratic candidate, expect to hear Kerry appeal to "ordinary Americans," apparently in contrast to the silver-spooned life of George W. Bush. Like most ordinary Americans, Kerry went to various boarding schools in New England and Europe before attending Yale University. Again, like most regular people, Kerry holds a legal degree. He married into the wealthy Heinz family. This made him rich to the tune of an estimated $600 million — again like most ordinary Americans, but you get the idea. COMMENTARY Now far be it from me to judge a man based on his privileged life. Many of us Matt Pirotte opinion@kansan.com on this campus — including me — have benefited greatly from the circumstances into which we were born. But I reserve the right to take issue with a presidential candidate — including Bush who attempts to paint himself as having his finger on the pulse of the average American when, in fact, he does not. It is going to be a wonderful irony watching two Ivy-League millionaires duke it out for the hearts and minds of "middle America." Some of Kerry's harshest rhetoric is against Bush's tax cut to the "wealthiest Americans." I would suggest that Kerry is skewing this issue. The fact is, Bush is attempting to correct a wildly unfair tax system that, in effect, penalizes financial success. If you surf to the IRS Web site, www.irs.gov, you learn that in 2001 the top 1 percent of Americans were shouldering 34 percent of the total tax burden in America. If you extend it to the top 10 percent of taxpayers, they are carrying 65 percent of the total load. This top 10 percent does not represent only corporate fat cats in smoky board rooms across America. These are hardworking professionals and business owners and include a lot of our parents. Of course, Kerry is also going after Bush for his approach to the war in Iraq. John, dude, you voted for the war. If Bush was so untrustworthy, you could have refused to vote to authorize the United States to go over there. If the war is suddenly wrong, the blood is on your hands as well as the president's. You also might hear Kerry use the world "unilateral" and say that Bush failed to build an international coalition. Apparently the United Kingdom, Australia, Poland, Japan, Spain, Singapore, Jordan, Portugal, South Korea, Turkey and others are meaningless allies. It would appear that a "coalition" means America plus German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, French President Jacques Chirac and United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan. The Democratic platform for this election might look complex, but it isn't. Kerry is going to shriek about jobs as if Bush himself has been going around firing people. He will also complain about the war and the USA PATRIOT Act, both of which he voted for. He is going to attempt to initiate class warfare by decrying the tax cut and acting like all of the benefit went to the fabulously wealthy. Brace yourselves: it's going to be a nasty ride.

The party wants Kerry to speak at an event known as the Ad Astra Dinner, which is part of the Democratic Committee weekend beginning March 5 at the Topeka Ramada Inn. The dinner opens the Kansas Democratic party's last opportunity to meet, plan and discuss issues before the caucus. Though Mark Simpson, spokesman for the Kansas Democratic Party, said nothing was confirmed, even the possibility of Kerry's march to Kansas sparked interest. Students in the KU Young Democrats were impressed with how well Kerry was doing in the presidential race and at how big a rebound he had in the primaries, said Tom Keating, Marysville junior and president of the KU Young Democrats. Support for Kerry's possible appearance gained a powerful voice last week when Gov. Kathleen Sebelius encouraged him to come during a radio interview. "She was trying to weigh in her support for having him here," Nicole Corcoran, spokeswoman for Sebellian, said. "It would be a big support for Kansas." PETER HUBBARD Kerry's visit could help highlight the importance of the caucus for Kerry "I think anytime a political leader comes to a state it raises interest," Corcoran said. "It brings focus to the choices people have to make a decision." the citizens of Kansas, Corcoran said. Sebelius has yet to officially endorse a candidate, but her son is an avid Kerry supporter, Corcoran said. Kerry campaign is still considering its options. For the moment, it is avidly focusing on the Wisconsin primary, Dag Vega, Kerry spokesman, said. With a possible Kansas stop a ways down the political road, the The Kansas caucus is deep within the home stretch of the Democratic presidential race. By March 2, almost two weeks before Kansas opens its polls, more than 70 percent of the national delegates would have voted. That doesn't stop those supporting Kerry. "We are very serious in fighting for every vote in Kansas or other states." Vega said. JU The choice to come to Kansas might hinge on the results of the next few weeks, Vega said. "We are taking any state seriously." Vega said. - Edited by Louise Stauffer Chris Waggoner, Lawrence resident, played an original piece of music yesterday afternoon at his home. Waggoner has at least one major indie label interested after sending it a demo. Representatives will be in attendance at an upcoming show he has in Omaha, Neb. Local 'folk-emo' band gets serious By Samia Khan skhan@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Something didn't feel right when Chris Waggoner and the other members of Io's Cage, a self-described "folk-emo-rock" band from Lawrence, took the stage at The Bottleneck's open mic night last Tuesday. Preparing for a disjointed transition, Waggoner's bandmate walked up to the mic and asked the audience, "You ready to rock? Well, too bad." "We did not fit in at all." Waggoner, 19, said. "It was like punk rock, heavy metal night." The audience didn't seem to mind. Io's Cage has only been together six months and done a couple of shows, but it has the attention of Saddle Creek Records, a major indie-rock label based in Omaha, Neb. Waggoner hoped The Bottleneck show would give him and fellow band members Derek Young and Kevin Elliot extra practice. Waggoner, a Lawrence resident, took the spring semester off from the University of Kansas to make time for added commitment to the band. Io's Cage has already been to Omaha to make a studio recording and met members of The Faint and The Cursive, other bands on the Saddle Creek label. Although there are no concrete developments, people in the Saddle Creek label are passing around the band's demo and tentatively scheduling a show for it in Omaha. Six months ago, while he was playing guitar on the street for fun, Waggoner was approached by Young and Elliot. They listened to him play and talked for a few hours. Waggoner thought he'd never see them again, but before leaving they told him to contact them to hang out. The next night the three met "We're not tied down to one sound. We can change whenever we want." Chris Waggoner lo's Cage bandmember and wrote a song on the spot. Not only was Waggoner happy with the music collaboration, but he said he had never overcome his shyness and connected faster with anyone else before. Since coming together with Young and Elliot, Waggoner said he had never been happier with his music. Amanda Sprague, Lawrence High School junior and Waggoner's friend, said he has been noticeably more fulfilled since the formation of Io's Cage. "He tells me every single detail." Sprague said. Waggoner doesn't like to admit that his first stint as a musician was doing covers of Everclear songs. "An Everclear cover band? That's just terrible," he said. "I was such a bad musician. I felt like I could be doing better. Waggoner taught himself how to play the guitar four years ago. He said he had enough dedication to persevere through his phase of bad music and songwriting. He started playing on his own and trying harder with his song writing. Waggoner said the success of Io's Cage comes from its variety and experimentation. "We're not tied down to one sound," he said. "We can change whenever we want." Waggoner does most of the vocals and plays acoustic guitar for the band. He also writes a lot of the songs, but all of the band members collaborate evenly on the individual work. He said trying to name a frontman made them uncomfortable. Waggoner said although nothing was concrete with Saddle Creek, the band has already experienced more than they imagined. In less time than Io's Cage hoped, it's made a free studio recording, hung out with some of the biggest names in indie rock, and gotten the attention of a major label. Most of all, Waggoner said he's living out two of his dreams: music and writing. "We expected years of trying and then probably giving up," he said. "If this works out as a long run thing now, I'm going to go with it where it takes us." —Edited by Joe Hartigan By Marc Ingber minger@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Forum outlines rights under Act The USA PATRIOT Act has been a hot topic in Washington, D.C., and last week, it was also discussed at the University of Kansas. Legal Services for Students informed international students how the act would affect them at a forum last Thursday. The International Students Legal Rights forum was led by Jo Hardesty, director of legal services. Hardesty said that the act had caused complications for international students. It increased the time it took to process a visa and decreased the number of visas issued to international students. Also, it has been harder for international students to re-enter the country after going home to visit because of heightened security measures, she said at the forum, which was held at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. About 25 students attended. Although it is unfortunate that there has been complications for international students, it was one of the realities that the country has experienced after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, said Josh Steward, Hays junior and vice-chair for the College Republicans. "It's not necessarily justified, but it's understandable," he said. "Whenever something big like Sept. 11 happens, we tend to overreact." Steward said that he thought the United States would ease up some on its domestic security in the future as an effect of President Bush's plan to naturalize more immigrants. "Even if it doesn't pass, it will at least draw more attention to the issue," he said. The topic of privacy has been one of the main criticisms of the act, but Steward said that the enhanced police capabilities were only in areas where people had a low expectation of privacy such as public libraries. "When you go to check out a book at a public library, there is not a high expectation of privacy." he said. Hardesty also brought up how the act allowed the government to get student information without the student's consent. She also said that the act broadened the rules so the government could perform more intense investigations when it came to possible threats of terrorism. "All universities, colleges and institutions that accept international students are now required to disclose, without student consent, international students information to the United States government through the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System," Hardesty said. "Reports indicate that many international students, especially from countries selected as high terrorist threats, feel their freedoms have been unfairly restricted and have been arbitrarily labeled as terrorist threats because of national origin," Hardesty said. Hardesty said something else she did to inform international students was hand out brochures made by the American Civil Liberties Union that told them what to say if they were asked to show their visa. Although the process was more difficult, international students will still be able to find a way to get a college education in the United States, Hardesty said. She said while the rules and regulations were burdensome, students who took the initiative and affirmative steps — such as updating and periodically verifying their visa status — should be able to avoid the procedural headaches and achieve their educational goals. —Edited by Meghan Brune NATION Judge dismisses case about student charges The charges were dropped in April 2000, and the classmate was charged with falsely reporting a crime, a misdemeanor. ALTAMONT — A judge has dismissed a lawsuit alleging officials botched an investigation three years ago into claims that five former Labette County High School students were planning a Columbine-style attack. The students were charged in December 1999 with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder after a classmate told officials about the alleged plot. They spent about two months in custody before the classmate recanted. The five former students — Aaron Spencer, Daniel Smith, Bryan M. Vail, Josh W. Traxson and Jestin McReynolds — were barred from the school for the rest of the academic year even after the charges were dropped. The students responded with a multimillion-dollar federal lawsuit against various Labette County, Altamont city and school district officials. The suit sought $5 million per defendant, alleging a variety of complaints, including unlawful searches, arrest without probable cause, false arrest and imprisonment and malicious prosecution. U. S. District Judge Carlos Murgia ruled Friday that the plaintiffs, including the former suspects in the alleged plot and their families, will get nothing and the case is dismissed.

Mitchum jmitchum@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Neanderthals and modern humans are on different branches of the family tree, according to recent research by Katerina Harvati, assistant professor of anthropology at New York University. This supports the theory that humans and Neanderthals were never related. University of Kansas students are taught something different, depending on which professor they get. David Frayer, professor of anthropology, found nothing significant with Harvati's work. Frayer said similarities in skull and bone structure indicated that humans and Neanderthals were linked, not a separate species as Harvati's work proposes. While on sabbatical, Frayer is studying Neanderthals in Rome and Croatia but will be back in the fall to teach anthropology. Harvati's skull measurements and math formulas are part of a larger argument about whether modern humans all come from one place and have adapted to the present form, or are a mix of ancient species from different regions. Frayer pointed to a list of very specific anatomical features to make comparisons between species, such as angles of the nose, shapes of the sinus cavities and curvatures of the back of the skull. Not all found members agree. M. H. Crawford, director of the laboratory of biological anthropology, said that skeletal evidence wasn't strong because of the plasticity of bones, which is a bone's ability to be reshaped by muscle and environment over time. Crawford said that a direct geneticlink from Neandertals to modern humans was highly unlikely. He said the sequencing in a type of DNA called mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA, did not indicate a link between humans and Neanderthals. Modern humans differ from each other by seven genes on average in the mtDNA whereas Neanderthals differ from us by 22 genes, Crawford said. Chimpanzees, our closest genetic relative, have about 44 differences in the mtDNA. But Frayer thinks his colleagues may be missing a major point. Crawford said the evidence from the study supported that Neanderthals were a separate species that did not contribute to our modern human form, which is what he teaches to his classes in molecular anthropology. He said Neanderthals and modern human remains from the same area may look the same because they both had to live in the same environments. "My opponents do not take into account human variation," Frayer said. Natural selection, sometimes known as survival of the fittest, may account for the variations in mtDNA and bone structures between modern European humans and Neanderthals, Frayer said. Frayer said Havarti used skull measurements to show that Neanderthals have more sloped faces than modern humans, anthropologists already knew this, he said. Understanding whether modern humans come from a singlefamily line or multiple has many implications. The arguments for human history do not hinge on a single argument, but actually continue on several levels. "There are also different philosophies about what constitutes evidence of new or separate species." Fraver said. Jim Mielke, professor of anthropology, teaches introductory anthropology classes. He said he gives students all sides of the arguments and admitted that it wasn't his specialty. Mielke and Frayer agree at least on one point—not enough data are present to know right now. "One of the major problems is that the record is so incomplete and fragmentary and many of the most important specimens were excavated 50 plus years ago when techniques were poor." Frayer said. President, Kerry spar about tax cuts — Edited by Louise Stauffer The Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. — President Bush, brushing aside concerns about the unprecedented budget deficit, renewed his demand that Congress extend his tax cuts, and charged yesterday that Democrats would increase taxes. U. S. Sen. John Kerry (D Mass.), the front-running Democratic presidential candidate, said he agreed with Bush on keeping in place two tax cuts mentioned by Bush. But Kerry said Bush's overall economic policies had failed to create jobs. "President Bush's failed economic policies have resulted in the "President Bush's failed economic policies have resulted in the loss of 3 million jobs and the biggest surpluses in history turned into the biggest deficits." John Kerry John Kerry Democratic presidential candidate loss of 3 million jobs and the biggest surpluses in history turned into the biggest deficits," Kerry said. issue in this year's presidential campaign, with Bush trying to cast Democrats as tax-hikers and the Democrats saying Bush's tax cuts favored the rich. A. A. RAND The duel between Bush and Kerry foreshadowed a major Kerry The exchange exposed a fundamental policy difference: Bush wants all his tax cuts made permanent, while Kerry would halt tax reductions for Americans who earn more than $200,000. The tax bills that Bush signed in 2001 and 2003 contain expiration dates next year on some provisions. The child tax credit would drop from $1,000 per child to $700, and some married couples would have to pay more than they would as two single individuals. Bush "You hear people in Washington saying, 'Oh, let's not make the tax cuts permanent.' When you hear somebody say that, they're saying 'We're gonna tax you. We're gonna raise your taxes,'" the president said. Gay weddings, legal fights continue SAN FRANCISCO — As hundreds of gay and lesbian couples lined up at City Hall for the historic chance to wed with the city's blessing, opponents filed legal papers yesterday arguing that only judges can declare California's prohibition on same-sex marriages to be unconstitutional. The Associated Press Newswos has argued that the equal protection clause of the California Constitution makes denying marriage licenses to gay couples illegal. But lawyers for a group In a brief submitted for a court hearing Tuesday, lawyers for one of two groups seeking to block the unprecedented wedding march said Mayor Gavin Newsom was in blatant violation of state law when he directed the county clerk to issue marriage licenses to gay couples. formed to defend Proposition 22 — a 2000 ballot initiative that says the state will recognize only marriages between a man and woman as valid — contend the mayor lacks the authority to make that decision. "What the mayor and his cronies have attempted to do is short-circuit the legal process by being both judge and jury themselves," said Alliance Defense Fund attorney Benjamin Bull. The city's lawyers said they will argue that the petitioners lack the legal standing to seek a temporary restraining order to prevent San Francisco authorities from issuing any more licenses. The looming legal showdown didn't deter thousands of people from lining up outside City Hall in the rain Monday. They hoped to join more than 1,700 other same-sex couples who have exchanged vows here in recent days. Despite miserable weather, many couples camped out overnight rather than risk going home still single. "This is an opportunity we couldn't pass up," said David Miller of San Francisco as he and his partner, Guadalupe Jimenez, waited in a line that snaked from the county clerk's office and wound three blocks around the ornate building. Since San Francisco officials began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples last Thursday, hundreds of gays and lesbians have wed. Most are from the Bay Area but about 50 are from other states, including New York, Georgia, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and South Carolina, Assessor Mabel Teng said. Many of the city workers who helped process the licenses during the holiday weekend were volunteering their time, Teng said. The city will continue issuing marriage licenses on Tuesday "unless told otherwise by the city attorney," she said. On Monday, a cadre of city workers deputized to perform weddings simultaneously presided over 10 ceremonies on the grand marble staircase at City Hall. Moved by the happy spectacle, caterers and donors kept the waiting couples nourished with donated pizzas, bagels, soup and coffee. "Usually, humanity comes out like this when there is a disaster, but here we have a joyous, civil rights thing going on, and people have just rallied," the Rev. Penny Nixon said as she prepared to officiate at a friend's wedding. PROGRAM: Extra time required CONTINUED FROM 1A "I just hope that I can help the freshmen learn what I have this year," Bassett said. "I really want them to be able to learn the leadership qualities and everything else that I've experienced through the 3E program so far." But for those who don't necessarily want to be involved and would prefer to use their residence hall as a way to simply meet new people, it seems options are becoming limited, said Danny Hammond, Olathe senior. Hammond lived in Ellsworth his sophomore year and said meeting a greater variety of people would be easier if there weren't so many requirements to be in a specific dorm. "The thing that bothers me is that everything has a theme now," Hammond said. "You've got to have your community service or your grades to live in a particular dorm, and it reflects badly on the others." Students can still come into housing and find that same experience they had before, Crouse said. He said as buildings continued to be renovated, there would be a commitment from the department as a whole that there would always be the option of just living in a residence hall without some form of required participation. "The thing that bothers me is that everything has a theme now. You've got to have your community service or your grades to live in a particular dorm, and it reflects badly on the others." Danny Hammond Olathe senior "We understand that not every student coming in needs that," he said. "What we're trying to do is provide different types of services that we know, based on research, help students learn and grow." - Edited by Ashley Arnold CONTINUED FROM 1A STEM CELLS: Research opposed States are forbidden by law to create embryonic stem cells for fear of cloning. President Bush said in a statement last month that he was opposed to anything that used human life as "research material for reckless experiments." U. S. Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan) has led the opposition to stem cell cloning research. Last Thursday, Brownback told the Seattle Times that such research is "morally wrong." However Li said he was concerned that the United States was falling behind other countries in medical research. "In other countries, it's easier to do this type of research. I guess opinions just depend where you are on the political spectrum," he said. Even if it won't be made in America, Goode welcomes any potential cure after losing 70 pounds in four months and having to take four insulin shots per day as a result of his battle with diabetes. SMOKING: Lawrence officials question effectiveness of smoking ban CONTINUED FROM 1A "We feel the free market should dictate whether a restaurant has a smoking ban or not. It should not be a governmental decision," said Mike Casey, vice president of marketing for the association. "We'll do everything that we can to fight along the way." —Edited by Cindy Yeo But Clean Air Lawrence isn't so worried. Campbell said economic changes the ban would bring about are a two sided issue. Campbell said some people don't go to bars and coffee shops that allow smoking now solely because of the smoke, and would be more likely to go if City Hall banned smoking indoors. City Commissioner Sue Hack said the possible economic impact of a smoking ban in Lawrence concerned her, but the issue would be addressed in full when Mayor Mike Dunfield's Smoking Task Force reports to the commission March 31. The task force, comprised of business owners, medical researchers and architects, will report on the economic and health impact of indoor smoking in Lawrence. Dealing With Change At the Yacht Club, 530 Wisconsin St., a tall, thin machine in the corner charges customers $6 per pack for cigarettes, more than two dollars higher than most gas stations. A deterrent for smokers? Not according to Jeff Johnson, manager at the club. But if it were up to him, the non-smoking Johnson wouldn't have the machine in the baratall. "I wouldn't mind a ban on smoking," Johnson said. "I don't think we can do anything about it right now, but I'd like to see a law passed." Right now, the club has a smoking sections separated from those who don't want to smoke. If the city did ban smoking. Johnson said it wouldn't affect business one bit. The smokers will just have to go outside." Johnson said. Now, with most bars and restaurants in Lawrence allowing smoking, patrons who smoke have the choice of where to go, and what section to sit in. "I wouldn't go to a bar I couldn't smoke in now," Erin Orr said. "Drinking and smoking go together, if you're a smoker." The Shawnee senior said that if she couldn't smoke, she'd rather stay home, and that applies to coffee shops and eateries the same as bars and nightclubs. "I'd probably still go out," she said. "It would be a struggle, though." But if the city banned smoking everywhere, Orr said she would deal with the change as best she could. That's exactly Clean Air Lawrence's point: if Lawrence smokers don't have a choice when they go out, they're less likely to smoke in the first place. "I hope that it isn't inconvenient to smokers."

The University Daily Kansan 1B Tuesday, February 17, 2004 Graves'woes continue JUST WHEN YOU'RE THERE, YOU'RE ON TIME. By Ryan Greene greene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter The result? Last Friday, Kansas coach Bill Self sat senior forward Jeff Graves down and informed him he would be seated at the end of the bench in street clothes for Sunday's game against Nebraska. Nebraska dominated the paint, and the game in general. Kansas reserve forwards Moulaye Niang, Bryant Nash and Christian Moody played a total of 19 minutes, going scoreless and grabbing a combined four rebounds as Graves sat in jeans and a sweater next to the water cooler. After the game, Self said that if he were to rank his players one-through-16 based on overall effort and commitment, Graves would be at the bottom of that list. "He just had a really bad week," Self said. "What happened was that after we got it handed to us pretty good in Stillwater, we certainly challenged the guys to really re-commit, and work hard, and we're going to play the guys that work the hardest and give us energy, because our bench hasn't been as productive as what it potentially could be. And Jeff didn't respond to any of those types of challenges." Self said that the benching was strictly for Graves' on-court effort in practice last week, with no off-court infractions or influences. However, Self did not reveal at his news conference yesterday whether Graves will play tomorrow night at home against Bavlor. "It was my decision not to play him Sunday," Self said. "If he doesn't play again it will be my decision. It's a situa- SEE GRAVES ON PAGE 6B Senior forward Jeff Graves watched from the bench during the closing seconds of Sunday's loss to Nebraska. Graves sat out because of sub-par performances in practice. Moody focused on team goals By Mike Norris norris@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Christian Moody scored seven points last season as a freshman. This season Moody has already scored three times as many points, while filling in for starters Jeff Graves and David Padgett. But Moody would be the first to admit his statistics don't cause anyone's jaw to drop. One and a half points and just under one rebound per game are hardly anything to brag about. But the 6-foot-8-inch sophomore has seen increased playing time this season, mainly because of lingering foul trouble with Iavhawk big men. "Being able to fill a role and be in there at crucial times is pretty awesome," Moody said. Moody has been the first player off the bench a few times this season, something that never happened a year ago. He also chipped in seven points and four rebounds in a home win against Texas Tech. What Moody does, that doesn't show up in the box score, has kept him in the lineup. His point total isn't even a focus. a focus. "My job is to play defense and rebound," Moody said. "Not necessarily get in the offense, but help run it right." In the onetime, Survival Basically he is supposed to be in the game and keep the offense flowing without the starters on the court. It hasn't always happened that way. Moody has had his tough times such as playing six minutes and recording three fouls in a 69-68 loss to Richmond. It didn't provide much relief for big men who were in foul trouble.

A fan's sign at the Kansas men's basketball game in Nebraska on Sunday is now the subject of controversy. The sign aired briefly on the ABC broadcast of the game as cameras panned the crowd. Its presence at the game and ABC's decision to focus on it has plenty of viewers irked. Local ABC affiliate KTKA Topeka directed questions to the national syndicate, which was unable to be reached for comment. The University of Nebraska Athletics Department has not decided what action to take in response to the incident. It hopes to resolve the issue at a meeting today along with the question of how the sign got into the game in the first place. "We have plans in place to stop this from happening," said Chris Anderson, director of sports information for Nebraska. How those plans failed in this case is a mystery to the department, she said. Anderson said at today's meeting the department would discuss ways to make sure an incident like Sunday's wouldn't happen again. SEE CONTROVERSY ON PAGE 6B "We live in a media-polarized view of the world when things like that happen," said Patricia Tetreault, sex education coordinator at the University of Nebraska happen again. For some, the incident is significant because it shows it is still acceptable to use sexual orientation as a slur. Tetraault said that if the sign was critical of a different minority group, the reaction against it would have been more intense. She said people should use this as a learning experience and react to it in a positive way to show that it's not OK to use sexual orientation as a slur. Sarah Burris, interim director of Queers and Allies at the University of 'Hawks try to end losing streak By Jonathan Kealing jkealing@kansan.com Kansas sportwriter After practice yesterday, the women's basketball team circled up and whipped themselves into a frenzy. The team will need that frenzy if it's going to defeat Iowa State tonight. The unranked Cyclones come to Lawrence to play the Jayhawks at 7 p.m. The Cyclones (11-11, 4-7 Big 12 Conference) have been able to produce big victories, but they have also been able to give away the easy victories. give away the city vicious Three of the Cyclones' four victories have come against ranked opponents.

In Kansas' victories over those two teams the Iawhays won by a combined 16 points. The Jayhawks have dropped four straight games, their last victory coming against Oklahoma Sate on Jan. 31. This "We have a perfect opportunity," interim coach Lynette Woodard said. "We want to get back on the winning track." "We've got to drop these games. We've got to put this behind us. We're at home and we need to play like it." Lynette Woodard Women's basketball coach four game losing streak ties the season's longest string of losses. During several games this season, the Jayhawks have been unable to finish and put teams away when they have early leads. "We've got to drop these games. We've got to put this behind us," Woodard said. "We're at home and we need to play like it. This week in practice, Woodard has organized several different drills to simulate intense conditions. "Coach has set drills where the score is tied and there are only four or five minutes left in the game," sophomore forward Crystal Kemp said. "Throughout that time we have to stick with our offense, execute and play good defense." Kemp said one of the biggest obstacles for the team against ISU would be Kansas forward Tamara Ransburg held possession of the ball during a game this season.

Joe Mortensen, of Clayton Valley High School in Concord, Calif., signed a letter of intent to play for the Jayhawks next season nearly two weeks after signing day. Jeremy Crabtree, editor of Rivals.com, a nationally known recruiting Web site, said Mortensen slipped through the cracks and was a strong recruit for Kansas.

Theinsiders.com reported that Mortensen dreamed of playing for Nebraska, but that the call offering Mortensen a scholarship never came. That left Mortensen to his other choices, one of which included Kansas. "Sometimes for whatever reasons, schools miss kids," Crabtree said. "Kansas really needed depth and talent on defense. He should be a very good player for them." -Edited by Louise Stauffer TALK TO SPORTS: Contact Henry C.

Commissioner Bud Selig approved the record-setting swap yesterday, allowing the reigning American League MVP to be traded to New York by the Texas Rangers. "I'm pretty excited. This is a big, big one." Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said. "It ranks with when we signed Reggie," he said, a reference to when slugger Reggie Jackson joined the Yankees before the 1977 season. Texas will pay $67 million of the $179 million left on Rodriguez's $252 million, 10-year contract, the most cash included in a trade in major league history. The Rangers get All-Star second baseman Alfonso Soriano and a player to be named — but they also will pay Rodriguez through 2025. "I am very concerned about the large amount of cash consideration involved in the transaction, T and the length of time over which the cash is being paid." Selig said. "I want to make it abundantly clear to all clubs that I will not allow cash transfers of this magnitude to become the norm. However, given the unique circumstances, including the size, length and complexity of Mr. Rodriguez's contract and the quality of the talent moving in both directions, I have decided to approve the transaction." Rodriguez will move from shortstop, a position at which he's been an All-Star seven times, to third base, where he will replace injured Aaron Boone. The Yankees will keep Derek Leter at shortstop. "Jeter is the captain. He is the leader," Steinbrenner said at the team's minor league complex in Tampa, Fla. Jeter didn't comment on the deal after his workout, with the team saying Steinbrenner would be the only one to speak to reporters in Tampa. Both Jeter and Yankees manager Joe Torre were expected to attend today's news conference at Yankee Stadium to introduce Rodriguez. Torre will miss the first day of spring training. Steinbrenner praised Rodriguez's decision to move to third. "I don't think he ever thought about playing another position until the concept came up," Rodriguez's agent, Scott Boras, said Sunday. "He decided it didn't make a difference — shortstop, third base, center field. He wanted the opportunity to play on a competitive team." Rodriguez, who waived his no-trade clause, was desperate to play for a winner. The Rangers will wind up paying $140 million for three seasons with Rodriguez, an average of $46.7 million annually for three last-place finishes in the AL West. The Yankees will owe him $112 million over seven years. "Since the end of last season we said we would not trade Alex unless it made sense for our organization," Texas Rangers general manager John Hart said. "This deal is a win-win-win situation for the Rangers, the Yankees and Alex Rodriguez. This trade is about flexibility. We've traded the best player in the game, and we're getting tremendous financial flexibility." Baseball's biggest spenders will raise their payroll to about $190 million. "The disparity is not healthy for the sport," Arizona Diamond-backs owner jerry Colangelo said Sunday. "But everyone runs their team the way they see fit, and they did it by the rules." Boras said the possibility of a trade first came up last Monday while he was talking to the Yankees about another player. Boras then called Rodriguez. Big 12 coaches say sports is a business The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. - NCAA president Myles Brand's recent assertion that "college sports is not a business" drew just the kind of response one would expect from Texas Tech coach Bob Knight. "If it isn't a business, then General Motors is a charity," Knight said yesterday. Speaking on the Big 12 Conference coaches' weekly teleconference with reporters, Knight and several other Big 12 coaches countered Brand's comment by pointing out the multibillion-dollar contract the NCAA has with CBS to broadcast its men's basketball tournament, as well as pressures that coaches face year after year to win. "College sports has turned into one of the biggest businesses in the whole sports industry," Knight said. "It takes people who are extremely good business peo ple to run a college athletic program." Brand made the comment last week at an ethics conference after calling for a task force to reexamine NCAA recruiting rules. "College sports is not a business," Brand said. "It's about educating young men and women in the field and in the classroom." Kansas' Bill Self said he wondered why so many coaches got fired for losing "if it's not a business." "It is big business," Self said. "Certainly, I think the NCAA has done a lot of things that have been driven by money and sponsors and things like that." Oklahoma State's Eddie Sutton said college sports should be considered at least "a small business." "It's the front porch of any university," he said. "When teams have success, enrollment goes up." Colorado panel may seek subpoena power The Associated Press BOULDER, Colo. — A former judge who investigated a 1962 recruiting bribery scandal at Colorado says a panel that will look into the school's latest recruiting controversy should seek subpoena power. Jim Carrigan, who spent nearly 20 years on the federal and state Supreme Court benches, said subpoena power will make the panel more effective. "Otherwise, I don't think you can get people to show up and tell the truth, because this is serious, serious stuff with possible criminal violations," he said. The Colorado Board of Regents, scheduled to meet Monday, will name an independent commission to investigate whether the school's football program used sex and alcohol to entice recruits. The university has been ensnared in controversy since a deposition by Boulder County @J District Attorney Mary Keenan making those allegations were made public two weeks ago. The deposition was taken in one of three lawsuits by female students who claim they were raped during or just after an off-campus party for recruits in December 2001. Regents have promised an independent investigation into the accusations, denied by athletic officials. Carrigan said for the investigation to be effective, the panel should ask the Legislature for subpoena power. He said the investigation he headed in 1962 after allegations surfaced that Colorado football coaches paid cash to top recruits and their families would have been easier and more productive if the panel could have compelled testimony. Twenty Colorado recruits were declared ineligible by the NCAA. MOODY: Reserve forward sees more playing time this season CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B Moody saw decreased playing time after that, sometimes not even getting in the game. Coach Bill Self will sometimes use senior Bryant Nash or sophomore Moulaire Niang to fill the role. But both have played extended amounts of time before, while Moody played a total of only 41 minutes last year. Now with Graves being disciplined, and not expecting to play tomorrow, Moody's role should increase even more this week. Even though Self was unhappy with Moody's, along with Niang's and Nash's, play over the weekend — the three combined for 19 minutes, zero points and four rebounds — he said they would still be a part of the offense. "We need solid production out of those guys," Self said, "and they'll get their chance against Baylor." Moody may be going up against players that are his size or not much bigger tomorrow. As Self noted, Baylor has a smaller than average lineup. That should come as relief for Moody who is used to muscling against one of the premier big men in the country every day in practice — Wayne Simien. "It's just a confidence booster playing against Wayne everyday," Moodv said. For the rest of the season, or his career for that matter, Moody said he had the confidence to play against anybody. He isn't worried about scoring against that person, just keeping the opponent from scoring and helping the team win. Hemay never have an offensive performance that turns anyone's head, but Moody said he was concentrating on a more team oriented goal. "I want to win a national championship, and be a part of that national championship," he said. K Invited walk-on Christian Moody boxed out during a Jan. 14 game against instate rival K-State. After spending the bulk of his first year on the bench, Moody has more playing time under Bill Self. - Edited by Nikki Nugent Kansan File Photo BASKETBALL: Woodard makes changes to player lineup, drills defense. She thinks the matchups will be no different than those they have faced throughout Big 12 play. In the weekend's game against Oklahoma, Woodard made a decision to start sophomore forward Nichelle Roberts in place of sophomore forward Tamara Ransburg. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B Ransburg has enjoyed being able to watch the game from the bench to see where she can make a difference and to stay out of foul trouble. Slowly, Woodard has made changes to Washington's status quo by changing drills and lineups in order to create the most effective matchups possible. "I'm just trying to get them to believe," Woodard said. Woodard was chosen as one of 16 finalists for induction to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame this week. "Hopefully tomorrow they'll step up to the plate." Woodard honored Inductees will be announced before the NCAA Men's National Championship game in San Antonio, Texas. "This comes as a complete surprise." Woodard said. "It is a privilege and an honor to be considered one of the finalists." This is Woodard's first year of eligibility.

Saturday was the second time this season Graves was withheld from the lineup. On Dec. 12, he received an indefinite suspension from Bill Self after missing a practice. Graves wound up sitting one game, and upon returning, Self lauded his efforts in practice to regain his teammates' respect. Now, Graves must prove to his coaches and teammates once again that he deserves yet another shot. Even more important is erasing the distraction to the team that comes with his absence in the lineup. "Is it a distraction worthy of dismissing a youngster in his senior year from the basketball team? I would like for it not to be, because I really like the guy. "I don't think there's any question that when you don't have your full complement of players it becomes a distraction," Self said.

Lindsay Gold/Kansan Commission postpones PATRIOT Act resolution By Laura Pate fate@kansan.com Kansan staff writer A crowd spilled out into the main lobby of City Hall until midnight last night as the Lawrence City Commission discussed its position on the USA PATRIOT Act. After discussing the act for four hours, the commission decided to continue the discussion at a later date. David Dunfield, mayor of Lawrence, said a local legal staff would have to put together a resolution before the city formally banded against the act. The Lawrence Bill of Rights Committee wanted the Commission to reject the act and wrote a draft resolution for the city, Steve Stemmerman, of the Lawrence Bill of Rights Committee; said he had more than 600 petitions as a show of support for his resolution. Two-hundred fifty communities have approved such resolutions that reject the act. The 342-page act was passed on Oct. 26, 2001 after little debate by members of Congress. The act was passed in an effort to combat acts of terrorism and gave the government more power to monitor people through records such as library records. The resolution submitted by the Lawrence Bill of Rights Committee was faulty, said Kris Kobach, who served as a council to Attorney General John Ashcroft until 2003. "If I were grading it, I would give it a failing grade," said Kobach, who teaches law at the University of Missouri in Kansas City. Lawrence has a sufficient cause for concern and sufficient reason to be involved in discussing the issue of the act, said Dunfield. The City Commission was not wasting its time by discussing the PATRIOT Act said Burdett Loomis, chair of the University political science department. He said that the commissioners could come to a useful conclusion but that they had no power to change the act. "What it provides is a forum for serious discussion of the many issues put forth by the act," Loomis said. "A serious discussion on a serious issue is never a waste of time." Nhan Nguyen, president of the University's chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, said he thought the Lawrence Bill of Rights Committee had a good chance of passing the resolution, because other cities have passed similar resolutions. Bill Myers, director of Library Development, said that the act was a potential infringement on civil authority. If, and when, the federal government asked to see student records, the library would have to refer authorities to University Council, the legal representative of the University. Edited by Guillaume Doane Republicans struggle to get voice heard By Patrick Cady pcady@ku.edu Kansas writer After almost five years of silence, technical difficulties and frantic search for writers, The Pachyderm finally gets its opportunity to stampede. The Pachyderm, the KU Campus Republicans' newsletter, is preparing to break online ground today with its first issue, which was written last semester. The newsletter, coined from the scientific name for elephants, will be uploaded to the KU College Republican Web site, www.ku.edu/~kucr. "We wanted it to have a local feel," Josh Steward, Hays junior and editor of the newsletter, said. Beyond that, Steward said, the goal of the newsletter is to help propel the group's specific conservative beliefs. Jessica Adkinson, St. Louis freshman and editor of the newsletter's Local/ State section, decided to be involved for "It's pretty difficult to find people to write for us. Definitely on a liberal campus, there's not a strong conservative view." Jessica Adkinson St. Louis freshman this reason. this reason. "I think it's a value to the University simply because we offer another perspective." Adkinson said. Before The Pachyderm, the KU College Republicans tried to publish a newsletter half a decade ago called The Kansas Review, Steward said. The current group wanted to create its own publication once more, to spread out their own viewpoint and rival the Young Democrat's Newsletter, Jackass, "It's pretty difficult to find people to write for us," Adkinson said. "Definitely on a liberal campus, there's not a strong conservative view." The road to creating The Pachyderm wasn't easy. Steward said. Some stories from last semester's issue included a piece showing the disparity of black appointments to the Student Senate. "We got really ambitious," Justin McFarland, Lenexa junior and president of the KU College Republicans, said. Another article lambasted Janet Reno's appearance at the Lied Center, and another called the Lawrence transit system a, "total waste of time, money and resources." This led to another problem some members had with The Pachyderm — it's too negative. Steward said the group was working to correct this for future issues, and that the negativity might have been because PACHYDERM "I think that for the first issue, people jumped on board because they had something to vent about," Steward said. of the struggle to get the paper off the ground. For now, The Pachyderm will be published solely online, but Steward said they hope to publish a hard copy. That will be the next step. Steward said, but he still finds that he and the publication have come a long way. "The best experience is just seeing it all come together for the first time." Steward said.

The study showed that colleges with a higher rate of binge drinkers also had more rapes. "Binge drinking isn't a harmless rite of passage but a risk factor in violence against women," said George W. Dowdall, a co-author of the study and professor of sociology at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia. "Institutions of higher education need to change the culture of college drinking in order to make colleges safer and healthier environments." The study used data collected from 119 schools that participated in three Harvard School of Health College Alcohol Surveys from 1997 to 2001. Nearly 24,000 women were surveyed. The report found that one in 20 women reported being raped and nearly three-quarters of them were intoxicated during the rape. Binge drinking is arguably the most important health issue among college students and is associated with several behavioral and health problems for both the binge drinker and those "Binge drinking isn't a harmless rite of passage but a risk factor in violence against women." George W. Dowdall Professor of sociology at Saint Joseph's University around them, said Henry Wech sler. Wechsler is a co-author of the study and director of College Alcohol Studies at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. Wechsler said that about 44 percent of college students in this study could be classified as binge drinkers. Researchers for the college alcohol survey defined binge drinking as the consumption of five or more drinks in a row at least once in the past two weeks for men and four or more drinks in a row for women. The researchers then used the percentage of binge drinkers at a school to determine its heavy episodic drinking rate. A school's episodic drinking rate can be placed into one of three categories: high-heavy episodic, medium-heavy episodic and low-heavy episodic. A high-heavy episodic school has 50 percent binge drinkers. The medium-heavy category has 36 to 50 percent and the low-heavy category has zero to 35 percent binge drinkers. Students who are binge drinkers are 7.8 times more likely to experience rape than non-binge drinkers. The biggest risk factor for a potential victim of rape while intoxicated is their school's heavy episodic drinking level, according to the report. The researchers said colleges should tackle both the drinking and rape problem. "This study points to an urgent need for more alcohol prevention programs on campuses, along with sexual assault education," said Mary Koss, a co-author of the study and professor of public health at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Kathy Rose-Mockry is aware of this problem at the University of Kansas. As director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, she administers the Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Program, which offers victims a place to turn to for advice from a trained staff and is helping increase awareness and decrease these sexual assaults, Rose-Mockry said. Rose-Mocky said the program helps between 30 to 40 victims a year but she thought the number Women who use illicit drugs are 3.2 times more likely to be raped. RISK OF RAPE Underage binge drinkers are 1.3 times more likely to be raped. - Women residing in a sorority are 2 times more likely to be raped. Heavy binge drinkers in high school are 2.5 times more likely to be raped in college.

Edited by Robert Perkins Rare foods accompany dining hall selections By Azita lafresni atafreshi@kansan.com Kansan staff writer By Azita Tafreshi Zanzibar pilau, fried plantain chips and frogmore stew are just three of the 15 traditional African dishes students will be able to sample tonight during their routine visit to Mrs. E's. In honor of Black History Month, the staff at Mrs. E's is offering a culinary tour of African cuisine and an explanation of how it has influenced food around the world from 4 to 7 tonight, said David Weakley, senior production supervisor for Mrs. E's. The event is intended to provide students with an educational look at how indigenous African food has evolved into mainstream American culture, Weakley said. Weakley said each of the items on the menu was chosen because of their ease of preparation and because all of the ingredients could be found in a typical grocery store. "We wanted to really look at the cultural aspect of food, where it came from in Africa and its contributions to other areas of the world," Weakley said. Recipes and a brief history of each dish will be available for students with the intention that they would taste the food and then try cooking it at home. "We want to show how easily MENU SELECTIONS Peanut Soup Mixed Greens with Sudan Dressing Chicken Piri-Piri Sandwhich Baked Yams something that's of a unique name and a different preparation can fit into an everyday menu," said Jim Schilling, senior service supervisor for Mrs. E's. The dining center staff collaborated with the Office of Multicultural Affairs in their research and planning of the meal to ensure its authenticity, said Sheryl Kidwell, dining services manager. Tony Daniels, associate director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said people often would rather not participate in events like this because they were afraid to make a politically incorrect mistake. "If we all don't do a better job of communicating that message to the rest of the campus, then people will continue to think that these celebrations are just for the African-American population," Daniels said.

"Dated Dean, Married Kerry," the sticker reads. Each COMMENTARY JONATHAN D. BARNES Zack Hemenway opinion@kanan.com These voters are making the right decision for themselves, for their party, and for their country. John Kerry is the candidate the Democrats need to have a chance to defeat George W. Bush in November. week, another primary shows us that more and more voters are taking Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) to the electoral altar. It's hard to question Kerry's credentials. After attending Yale, he joined the Navy and fought in Vietnam, earning three Purple Hearts. After making a name for himself by speaking out against Vietnam, Kerry worked as a prosecutor. He then served two years as lieutenant governor of Massachusetts before winning the state's Senate seat in 1984. In his 20 years in the Senate, Kerry has distinguished himself by making education a priority and taking the lead on military issues. But as oil baron, pro-baseball owner and one-term governor Bush showed us in 2000, resumes don't win elections. The simplest reason the front-runner Kerry is the best candidate for the nomination is simply that he's the front-runner. In politics, it's much easier to tread water than to gain ground, and Kerry's landslide victories in primary after primary have shown he has by far the most support of any candidate. This popularity is the foundation of Kerry's most important attribute: electability. The 2004 election has the potential to be a political turning point, with many key issues facing the country's near future. Both sides have realized this. Republicans have raised a record total of contributions, while those who oppose the president have funded groups like moveon.org, devoted to the single goal of getting the president out of office. This situation creates many voters who are likely to vote for a candidate opposing Bush no matter who that candidate is. But these voters need to be sure the Democratic candidate has a legitimate chance of defeating the president. If they are resigned to another four years of Bush, or can't bring themselves to choose the Democratic nominee, these voters will waste their votes on an unelectable candidate making a political statement, a la Ralph Nader in 2000. Polls have established Kerry's electability — the most recent head-to-head poll was a statistical dead heat — and this electability provides the strongest argument for Kerry's candidacy. Kerry also trumps his Democratic opponents as President Bush, for that matter, in a category that is not discussed much by political pundits yet is important to voters nonetheless: appearing presidential. At 6-foot-4, he towers over his political opposition, and his thick, wavy, parted hair looks like it should have the words "E. Pluribus Unum" circling it. We see presidents as imposing physical figures, stereotypes shaped by the power of the office and stories in histories books about Washington and Lincoln. The dawn of the television age in politics has made appearance even more important. Since television began playing a role in election coverage, the taller candidate has won 10 of 13 Presidential elections, and voters often admit to being affected, whether consciously or subconsciously, by other aspects of a candidate's appearance. The Bush campaign fears Kerry more than any YES, I INITIALLY SUPPORTED THE WAR IN IRAQ & THE PATRIOT ACT. AND YES, I FALL INTO THE WEALTHIEST 1% TAX BRACKET... BUT, HEY, COME AAWWW! I'M A DECORATED VET AND MY HAIR IS JUST TOO SWEET! KIND OF A HYPOCRITE, AIN'T HE? WHO CARES?? ANYTHING TO GET CAP'N DIPSH*T OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE... Zach Newton for The University Daily Kansas other candidate. He equals the president's Yale pedigree, trumps his alleged military service, and scariest of all, gives moderate voters alienated by the Bush far-right a feasible option. The Republicans have already begun their assault on Kerry, releasing an advertisement accusing Kerry of catering to special-interest groups. But Bush's pot calling Kerry's kettle black shouldn't scare off voters who accept that campaign funding is the reality of American politics. Kerry still has many things to accomplish between now and Nov. 5, starting with choosing his vice-presidential candidate wisely. But there's no question Kerry is the Democrats' best shot. Voters need a candidate who will stand up to the president, who can rally voters of all parties and all walks of life, a candidate who has a legitimate chance of defeating the incumbent Bush. John Kerry is that candidate. Hemenway is a Lawrence senior in journalism. EDITORIAL State-regulated gambling has possible benefits Here's some advice for the Kansas lawmakers debating whether to give the goahead for state casinos: Roll the dice. Rather than conjuring up simply another Sin City, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius Expanded Gaming Opportunity Act, which includes five state-owned casinos, 2,500 video lottery machines dispersed OURVIEW While the slot machine junkies are as well. Sebelius intends for a portion of slaves to Lady Luck, the state of Kansas the profits to go toward high school senior has stronger numbers to work with. scholarships. Bring gambling to Kansas; Kansan will gamble either way. throughout Kansas' race tracks and five video lottery machines for each of the state's fraternal organization halls. appears an economically sound move. The state would receive 22 percent of the profits without having to financially invest in the endeavor because private developers are shouldering the bill. Following the unemployment mire of the past few years, a casino chain would provide a much-needed shot of job growth. Ameristar, in Kansas City, Mo., employs more than 1,900 people, many of who receive "the works" in terms of benefits. The question for many Kansans is likely to deal with the almighty dollar: How much will the casinos pay to Kansas residents? You Winning ANY MONEY yet, Don? NOT A DIME... BUT, IT SAYS I'VE PUMPED IN ENOUGH Dough TO PAVE A QUARTER-MILE OF STATE- HIGHWAY... Z. NEWTON Zach Newton for The University Daily Kansan Kansas is estimated to receive $60 million per year from the video lottery machines and $30 million from one major casino alone. And education might receive help Sebelius should still do her homework thoroughly before finalizing the plans. Harrah's Entertainment announced two weeks ago that a primary reason for its decline in national profits last year was due to its own new casino developments. Rather than jumping in feet first, Sebelius should allow proponents and opponents an opportunity to present their research. If Kansas lawmakers pay attention to the state's own history, they will learn from past mistakes. In 1987, the Racing Commission was getting into full gear with a team consisting of people uneducated on the nuts and bolts of racetracks. The Woodlands, a horse and dog racing venue in Kansas City, Kan., received its license in 1988 after little public input. If the Woodlands' lackluster profits are not what Sebelius' committee desires for state casinos, developers should allow as many public debates as possible. A casino chain built by the ideas of the community will also have the support of the community. CLARIFICATION In Monday's Kansan, the editorial, "Wal-Mart hurts local economy;" was incorrect. The court hearing held on Thursday will not address the building of the Wal-Mart but will decide if the city should pay bills for the six lawsuits filed against the city from 6Wak Land Investments LLC, the property owner of the proposed WalMart land. ON SENATE From greek vs. hippies to a new, moderate Senate "God, I hate hippies and I for damn sure don't want a bunch of pseudo-Marxist leftists running my campus government," or so the party line used to be if you were a candidate running with one of the traditionally Greek student senate coalitions. COMMENTARY 10 "Man, I hate greeks and all of their 'neo-Reaganite' values. I for damn sure don't want a bunch of silver-spooned trust-fund babies running my campus government." Alternatively and essentially mirroring the previous statement, if you were a member of Delta Force, this might have been the slogan that compelled you to take up arms against "the man," and run for Student Senate. But now Steve Munch, a non-greek sophomore from Bellevue, Neb., is running for student body president under the KUnited flag. A few years ago, such a thing would have been unthinkable for a traditionally Greek coalition like KUnited. And a few years ago, it would have be equally unthinkable for any member of Delta Jeff Allmon opinion@hansan.com Force to set foot in a fraternity or sorority house. Now, they make dinner visits. So as I finish my last semester at the University, I start to wonder "Have Student Senate elections gone stale?" It used to be same story every spring; greek versus hippie, loafers challenging Birkenstocks. It used to be that if you took one member from each group and locked them together in a closet for an hour, all that would be left was be a musty haze the stereotypes that riddle this column derive from a very real place. And it is simply the fact that there used to be real differences between the types of people running on the opposing coalitions. One side was made up of a fairly moderate group of students, who were usually greek and who wanted to improve the campus through various projects. KUnited is now the most recent manifestation of this trend. The other side, made up solely of Delta Force, was generally comprised of students who leaned far to the left politically, and who wanted to bring about radical changes on campus that reflected their broad-based, generally leftist political ideas. reeking of nag champa and cheap cologne. Trying the same experiment today might get you involved in nothing more than a wicked game of patty cake. Nonetheless, after Delta Force won its first election in the seven years that it had been in existence, the two classes of coalitions started moving closer together Delta Force seemed like less of a vehement freedom fighter, hell bent on revolution, and more like a kid from Leawood whose only experience with anarchy was pirating the new Blink 182 album. However, the changes occurring on the other end of campus political spectrum have been much more subtle. The only differences seemed to be more openness to outside ideas and perspectives. And to this respect, KUnited became, or just came across, as far more accessible to students who were not greek. These subtle changes reflected deeper tendencies that groups often display. They become more accessible to outside influence and become more liberal. The staleness on the side of Delta Force, however, is puzzling. It's not that Delta Force closed its doors to those wanting to take up arms against the "establishment." I get the impression that some people just quit coming. The toned- down, more centrist approach to student government did not click with someone wanting to bring about a revolution in campus democracy. More than anything, I think I miss the old Delta Force. Senate meetings of late have been, if anything, boring. The differing ideological perspectives simply aren't there anymore, and it is because Delta Force has gone soft on us. This spring, I really hope that students hear from the old Delta Force; I hope they see other students on Wescoe Beach speaking out for radical change in campus government. I want to see real, heated debates about important issues from a wide range of political perspectives. Given the huge range of political and ideological perspectives across this campus, that is what we as students need, and it is what we deserve.

Jeff Grandsted/Kansan MADNESS The company, founded by Dustan Fankhauser, has begun a collegiate clothing line, starting with sales at the University of Kansas and Kansas State University. Dustan Fankhauser, Adonis Apparel founder and owner, delivered a shipment of his company's T-shirts to Jock's Nitch, 837 Massachusetts St. Monday evening. Adonis Apparel makes jackets, sweatshirts, and T-shirts with vintage-style logos. Fankhauser said he didn't like to use the terms "retro" or "old school" but that "classic" was a better way to refer to the clothing. "Obviously, our stuff has a retro feel, and we've ran with that," Fankhauser said. "I don't want to be seen as a super-trendy company." company. Pankhauser started Adonis Apparel nearly seven months ago. He said he thought of the idea after he saw a trend of vintage clothing and a monotony in regular college clothing. "I always felt that collegiate apparel was lame," Fankhauser said. "And then I said 'Why isn't anyone doing this?' and there it was." Tamyra Heim, manager of Sugarartown Traders, 918 Massachusetts St., said Fankhauser's idea would succeed based on the popularity of vintage clothing. In fact, Heim said the vintage trend was among the most popular and fastest growing that she had seen since she had worked at Sugartown. "People see it all over TV and it helps that people like Ashton Kutcher are wearing stuff like it," Heim said. "It's not just for the town weirdos anymore." Although Adonis only sells clothes at two universities now, Fankhauser said about five more were in the works. The University of Missouri, the University of Colorado and Colorado State University are among the schools in the company's sights. Fankhauser is also planning to design clothing for his alma mater, Miami University in Ohio. The company has also agreed to design clothing for two ski resorts in Colorado: Loveland and Breckenridge. Fankhauser sells the clothes at various bars and sororities in Lawrence and Manhattan and said the brand appeals more to females than males. The first bar on Adonis' Lawrence agenda was Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St. In return for the right to showcase the apparel at the Abe and Jake's, Adonis will design clothing for the bar. Fankhauser said although he was taking small jobs on the side, he was still trying to focus on the big picture. "We're trying to formulate a brand," Fankhauser said. "I'm not trying to pick up every little job, but at first it can help us get our name out there." Jock's Nitch Sporting Goods, 837 Massachusetts St., purchased small amounts of all of Adonis' Kansas merchandise Monday to test the demand for the clothes. Although Jock's Nitch hasn't purchased large amounts of the clothes, general manager Doug Dobbins said he was confident the clothing would sell. "I wouldn't buy them if I didn't." Dobbins said. "It's got a retro look that nobody else is printing." Some businesses see Adonis Apparel as competition. Bill Muggy, Jayhawk Bookstore manager, said he saw the company, as well as local bars, as competition for students' discretionary dollars. "It's kind of an underground economy," Muggy said. "There's nothing I can do about it." Muggy said he would consider carrying the apparel as long as he wasn't the only one out of a hundred vendors doing so. School works to attract minorities —Edited by Stephanie Lovett By Marc Ingber mingber@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The University of Kansas School of Pharmacy will hold a minority recruitment conference tomorrow and Friday to help attract minorities into a career field that has historically seen a lack of diversity. Elizabeth Topp, director and professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, said that the main goal of the conference was to attract minority graduate students to the University's program. From 2002 to 2003, less than one percent of the students in the graduate program qualified as minorities. "Statistics like this are similar to the problem the pharmacy field has seen across the country," Topp said. "We haven't done a good job nationally of recruiting minorities into biomedical science." Jack Fincham, dean of pharmacy, said that although this year the number of qualified minority graduate students on track to get a doctorate had been raised to around 15 percent, he still thought the number should be higher. He would like to see an increase of 10 percent during the next five years. The School of Pharmacy has also started a Multicultural Scholars Program this year to raise the number of minorities. Fincham said the program was started in response to the business school's minority scholars program, which had been successful. "We are in our twelfth year, and it's working wonderfully," said Renate Mai-Dalton, head of the business school's program. The business school's program, which was started in 1992 and has 28 members, has a graduation rate of 77 percent, which is above the 56 percent overall graduation rate at the University. There are other minority scholar programs at the University in African-American Studies, Humanities and Western Civilization, Human Development and Family Life, the School of Architecture and more. The School of Pharmacy's Multicultural Scholars Program has seven members in its first year, but is looking to increase that number in the coming years. -Edited by Paul Kramer Business program sends students overseas By Jodie Kraftt jkrafft@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Students with $500 and a desire to develop business skills abroad can work in one of 87 countries through a campus organization called AISEC. AIESEC, formerly a french acronym for an economic and commercial sciences academy, is the largest student-run, not-for-profit organization in the world. The organization dropped the acronym as its membership has grown to encompass a wider range of disciplines. Because it is an exchange program, AIESEC members work with businesses around the world to recruit students to the United States, or to help domestic students find work in another country. The University of Kansas chapter has 35 members and would like to expand, said Karl Geiger, chapter president. Geiger, a Washington, D.C., junior, said in a world of international politics and economics, it was becoming increasingly important for students to have international experience. Right now, approximately 20 KU students or graduates are working abroad through AIESEC. Students can choose from four main categories of internships: management, information technology, developmental and linguistics. Within these four, students work for companies international universities and English teaching institutions. Kristen Reinert, Overland Park senior, worked last summer as a marketing director at the University of Economics in Prague. She said that her internship taught her about the business culture of the Czech Republic, as well as the country's culture. "I adore that city, which is why I want to go back," Reinted said. Reinert already applied for, and been accepted to, another internship in Prague for this summer. Although she has traveled abroad extensively, Reinert said the process of getting a job outside of the United States would have been more difficult without AIESEC.

At the same time, KU bus passengers wait for their ride in cold weather with limited shelter. Jihad Alammar, Saudi Arabia sophomore, stands at the bus stop across from the Kansas Union every day. Bus stops at the University need shelter to provide a better experience for riders, Alammar said. 1 "I can handle light snow and rain, but during thunder and snowstorms, protection helps," Alammar said. "If the first bus stop received positive feedback from students, then attempts to bring more onto campus might have been possible," Krebs said. Senate held a competition among architecture students to find the best design for a bus stop cover in 2000. Senate members made plans to build a bus stop cover in front of Learned Hall using the best design. Holly Krebs, former transportation coordinator, said the construction of Eaton Hall, the new engineering building, postponed the bus stop. Since Krebs left Senate in 2001, the bus stops seem to have been forgotten. Eaton Hall has been finished since last summer and students are still shivering at their bus stops in the February wind. At the moment, the budget for KU on Wheels is in an extreme crunch, said Tim Aknight, transportation coordinator. Bus passes and riding fees fund KU on Wheels, and there are no student fees or outside contributed money to pay for the bus stops, he said. The winning model of a new University bus stop is on display at the Student Senate office in the Kansas Union. Many architecture students entered their own designs in the competition Akright said if the budget increased in the future, the bus stops may become a possibility. Building structures on the University's land is not an easy protocol, said Diana Rhodes, Senate staff secretary. "The process of putting even a bus stop cover up amounts to a long process." Rhodes said. Meanwhile, students are able to wait inside of Snow and Bailey Halls, the Kansas Union and under the Kansas Info Booth. This is not convenient for students entering or exiting the buildings, Alammar said. Kayla Atkinson, Wichita junior, said she couldn't see which bus is coming. She waits inside the Union and has to watch diligently to know when her bus is on its way. Otherwise, the bus will leave her behind. Students not riding a campus destination bus may wait for their ride up to 30 minutes. The buses are scheduled so pick-up times are close to class dismissal times. To contact the transportation office, call 864-4644. ATTACKED: Suspect disappears before police arrive CONTINUED FROM PAGE1A - Edited by Kevin Flaherty The suspect then pulled away and she bolted to the room. She did not call the police because she didn't want to wake up her roommate. The next morning she told her mother about the incident. Her mother advised her to go to the police station to file a report as soon as possible. But she had not seen the last of the man. While walking to her car later that morning, she said she could see her car before she reached it. She then noticed the same man, sitting in the same car he had been in the night before, parked beside her vehicle. She went back into Corbin and called the KU Public Safety Office. She didn't think he saw her walking toward her car, but his head turned slightly as she neared. He was 5-feet-8, about 175 pounds and had brown hair and brown eyes. She said the man left before the police arrived.She reported that the suspect was a Hispanic male in his late 20s wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and a white mesh baseball hat. The suspect was driving a 1980s Ford Taurus with rust on the hood and passenger's side and had a Kansas tag. The KU Public Safety Office issued a KU Crime Alert yesterday. A sketch of the suspect is available through the office. Any information on the suspect can be reported to the KU Public Safety Office at 864-5900 or KU Crime Stoppers at 864-8888. —Edited by Amanda Kim Stair rett kansan.com News Now Louise's cocktails schooner school Louise's cocktails schooners pool Sunday $1.50 wells Monday $3 premiums Tuesday $3 boulevard schooners Wednesday $1.50 wells Thursday schooners 1009 Mass.

At the same time, KU bus passengers wait for their ride in cold weather with limited shelter. Jihad Alammar, Saudi Arabia sophomore, stands at the bus stop across from the Kansas Union every day. Bus stops at the University need shelter to provide a better experience for riders, Alammar said. A "I can handle light snow and rain, but during thunder and snowstorms, protection helps," Alammar said. Senate held a competition among architecture students to find the best design for a bus stop cover in 2000. Senate members made plans to build a bus stop cover in front of Learned Hall using the best design. Holly Krebs, former transportation coordinator, said the construction of Eaton Hall, the new engineering building, postponed the bus stop. Since Krebs left Senate in 2001, the bus stops seem to have been forgotten. Eaton Hall has been finished since last summer and students are still shivering at their bus stops in the February wind. "If the first bus stop received positive feedback from students, then attempts to bring more onto campus might have been possible," Krebs said. At the moment, the budget for KU on Wheels is in an extreme crunch, said Tim Akright, transportation coordinator. Bus passes and riding fees fund KU on Wheels, and there are no student fees or outside contributed money to pay for the bus stops, he said. The winning model of a new University bus stop is on display at the Student Senate office in the Kansas Union. Many architecture students entered their own designs in the competition. Akright said if the budget increased in the future, the bus stops may become a possibility. Building structures on the University's land is not an easy protocol, said Diana Rhodes, Senate staff secretary. "The process of putting even a bus stop cover up amounts to a long process." Rhodes said. Meanwhile, students are able to wait inside of Snow and Bailey Halls, the Kansas Union and under the Kansas Info Booth. This is not convenient for students entering or exiting the buildings, Alammar said. Kayla Atkinson, Wichita junior, said she couldn't see which bus is coming. She waits inside the Union and has to watch diligently to know when her bus is on its way. Otherwise, the bus will leave her behind. Students not riding a campus destination bus may wait for their ride up to 30 minutes. The buses are scheduled so pick-up times are close to class dismissal times.

ATTACKED: Suspect disappears before police arrive Edited by Kevin Flaherty CONTINUED FROM PAGE1A The suspect then pulled away and she bolted to her room. She did not call the police because she didn't want to wake up her roommate. The next morning she told her mother about the incident. Her mother advised her to go to the police station to file a report as soon as possible. But she had not seen the last of the man. While walking to her car later that morning, she said she could see her car before she reached it. She then noticed the same man, sitting in the same car he had been in the night before, parked beside her vehicle. She went back into Corbin and called the KU Public Safety Office. She didn't think he saw her walking toward her car, but his head turned slightly as she neared. She said the man left before the police arrived.She reported that the suspect was a Hispanic male in his late 20s wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and a white mesh baseball hat. He was 5-feet-8, about 175 pounds and had brown hair and brown eyes. 1980s Ford Taurus with rust on the hood and passenger's side and had a Kansas tag. Ine suspect was driving a A sketch of the suspect is available through the office. The KU Public Safety Office issued a KU Crime Alert yesterday.

Look for full coverage of the game in tomorrow's Kansan. The University Daily Kansan 1B Threesink'Hawks Wednesday, February 18, 2004 By Jesss Newell jnewell@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter A three-point shooting exhibition by Iowa State last night in Allen Fieldhouse floored any hope of a Kansas victory. Kansas forward Tamara Ransburg summed up the Jayhawks' frustrations. "It was bananas," the Kansas City, Mo., sophomore said. "Just every shot went in. There wasn't even a follow-through. It was just like they threw it and it went in." The Cyclones rode their successful three-point shooting to a 73-58 victory. Iowa State connected on 12 of its 29 attempts from beyond the arc, exploiting a defensive weakness for Kansas. "We give them the scouting report, but they don't understand until they experience it," interim coach Lynette Woodard said. "You talk about the coverage, but they just felt like if they could throw out a hand or jump over, they would miss. That wasn't the case." A 24-second stretch in the second half See page 3B for more coverage of last night's woman's game. underscored the Jayhawks' troubles. With 8:04 remaining, Iowa State guard Megan Ronhovide connected on a three from the deep left corner, giving the Cyclones their biggest lead, 59-43. Freshman guard Sharita Smith answered on the other end, hitting her own three for the Jayhawks from the corner. Cyclone guard Mary Fox jumped into the shooting contest by dribbling to the right corner to nail a three and stretch the lead back to 16. Those two Iowa State baskets were during a five-minute stretch in which the Cyclones earned 15 points, all from the three-point range. "It was kind of shocking that everybody on the team — even the coach — could shoot a three." Ransburg said. The Jayhawks also struggled on the boards. Iowa State out-rebounded Kansas 22-10 in the first half, scoring 14 second-chance points to Kansas' none. "We've been struggling all year with boxing out," sophomore guard Erica Hallman said. "You'd think that we'd have it by now." O'Neil paced Iowa State with 18 points, with Ronhov contribute 14. For the second consecutive game, Ransburg performed well coming off the bench. She led Kansas with 15 points and added three assists in 29 minutes of play. Kansas will host Texas A&M Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. The Aggies are last in the Big 12 Conference with a 1-11 conference record. Woodward will look to inspire her players with a team trip to the movie theater. "We're going to take the team tomorrow to the movies and watch Miracle," Woodard said, referring to the film commemorating the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team's gold-medal run, "and see if we can make that happen down the stretch here." 11 KANSAS 22 —Edited by Abby Mills Kansas sophomore forward Tamara Ransburg blocked Iowa State junior guard Mary Fox in the first half yesterday in Allen Fieldhouse. Ransburg led the Jayhawks with two blocks and 15 points as she went 5-for-5 from the field. The Jayhawks lost to the Cyclones 73-58. Eric Braem/Kansan Double Trouble TENNIS KU TENNIS Ashley Filberth Kansas City, Mo., freshman Photos by Jeff Brandsted/Kansan Emily Haylock Warrnambool, Australia, senior Partners' personalities complement their play By Nikki Overfelt overfelt@kansan.com Kansan senior sportswriter There were times growing up that Ashley Filberth hated tennis. The Kansas City, Mo., freshman, coveted the camaraderie her friends enjoyed in team sports. At the same time, on a different continent, Emily Haylock was forced to make a decision between basketball and tennis. She could only commit to one. The Kansas senior's family lived in Warrnambool, Australia, and she had to drive three hours every weekend to Melbourne to play tennis. It was hard to give up the team sport she loved, but she doesn't regret her choice now. Both Haylock and Filberth have now found what they were missing in junior tennis: a team. They have come together as a part of the Kansas tennis team, and as a successful doubles team. Filberth's tendency to tense up and over think her matches is balanced out by Haylock's laid back attitude and leadership. SEE TENNIS DOUBLES ON PAGE 8B Jayhawks 'guarantee' a victory over Bears By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter After consecutive poundings on the road, the Jayhawks need a spark. Junior guard Keith Langford tried his best to add this spark by guaranteeing a victory tonight in Allen Fieldhouse against the Baylor Bears. JOHN RUSSELL "I hate to say it, but we won't lose to them," Langford said before yesterday's practice. Langford Coaches usually frown upon guarantees from players, but Langford's statement is not as shocking as it sounds. Baylor (7-16, 2-7) is in 11th place in the Big 12 Conference, and has lost its past two PETER W. HUNTER Self contests by a total margin of 59 points against the conference's top two teams, Texas and Oklahoma State. To the Bears credit, two conference wins are two more than anyone expected before the season started. A tumultuous off-season resulted in the resignation of former coach Dave Bliss, as well as the transfers of three of the team's marquee players. Point guard SEE BAYLOR ON PAGE 8B Nearby scandals cause wake-up call for University By Joe Bant jbant@kansan.com Kansan staff writer In a year that has seen allegations of sex parties for football recruits at the University of Colorado and accusations of basketball players being paid at the University of Missouri, Kansas has remained free of such controversy. While scandals simmer in Boulder, Colo., and in Columbia, Mo., the University of Kansas Athletics Department said recruiting was doing just fine here at the University. Athletics Department officials said they owed that freedom to hiring the right coaches and recruiting the right players. The scandals of late, they said, were a wake-up call, but did not reflect flaws in the way Kansas recruits its athletes. As such, they probably won't inspire change in Kansas' recruiting practices. "A lot of times, it's a turnoff to kids and their parents." On a national level, Myles Brand, president of the NCAA, announced the formation of a task force last week to look specifically into the issue of recruiting and suggest possible reforms in response to the recent problems. Norm Roberts Kansas assistant men's basketball coach Athletics administrators and officials from the NCAA's national office will make up the task force, who said they want to have suggestions ready in time for the NCAA meeting in April. "Any time that news like that breaks, it reawakens everybody and makes everybody more aware that there are rules in recruiting that need to be followed, not only NCAA rules but ethical rules," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs. He said Kansas' department kept the reins on its recruiting programs by keeping in constant communication with the various coaches. Marchiony compared the situation to driving by a car accident. He said it made you more aware of your driving even if you were not driving badly. That communication, he said, was essential to preventing problems like those at Colorado from happening because it helped the entire department stay aware of expectations. Marchiony said it was important that communication was consistent from top to bottom, beginning with the individual programs and ending with the chancellor. Norm Roberts, assistant men's basketball coach, said structure and discipline in the recruiting process could stop problems On a weekend recruiting visit, he said, a player typically came in Friday afternoon and spent the day before they started. Roberts Roberts said a basketball recruiting visit to Kansas left little time for trouble because recruits had such busy schedules. POLICY ADVISORY OFFICE The coaches don't supervise this part of the visit, but Roberts said the rules about what's allowed and what's not were made clear to the players. meeting with coaches, touring the campus and meeting with academic advisors. Friday night, the recruit has dinner at the coach's house with the other players. Afterwards, Roberts said, the players usually entertained the recruit. Roberts said they might take a recruit bowling, for example. "When you take a recruit out, you show them Lawrence, but we're not a party school." Roberts said. Roberts said it was a misconception that recruits wanted to party when they came to visit. He said bars were strictly off limits and that the program did not condone drinking, even for its of-age players. "All of times, it's a turnoff to kids and their parents." Roberts said. He stressed that the Colorado situation and the other recent scandals were not the norm of collegiate athletics, and the way for Kansas to avoid similar problems was to maintain the discipline of its programs. TALK TO SPORTS: Contact Henry C. Jackson or Maggie Newcomer at: SPORTS@KANSAN.COM Marchiony said Kansas would probably not adjust its recruiting practices in light of the national problems, although he welcomed the efforts of the NCAA task force. 1 - Edited by Guillaume Doane --- what we heard "I've come to a point in my career when winning is the most important thing."

The Jayhawks' freshman guard added nine points and played more minutes than in any game this season. Freshman guard proves her worth presents best game of brief career By Jonathan Kealing jkealing@kansan.com Kansas sportwriter Through 23 games freshman guard Sharita Smith had 44 minutes. Last night, she played 17. Smith is a true freshman from Dallas. Her recruiting class was considered by many recruiting services to be a top class in the country. country. In the Jayhawks' 15-point loss to the Cyclones last night, Smith had the best night of her short career at Kansas. Coming off the bench, Smith scored nine points. Before last night, she had scored two points all season. Her points ranked her third on the team in total scores. "Coach, throughout practice, has been giving me advice," Smith said. "I just took it out on the court and played." She shot 40 percent from the field, which included one of the team's three three-point shots. She also pulled down one defensive board. Smith, who missed the first 12 games of the season because of an injured knee, still claims to be less than 100 percent. "I think I can produce a lot for the team. My ability is to penetrate, pull up and shoot and to be a passer as well," Smith said. Interim head coach Lynette Woodard said Smith has displayed confidence and been unafraid regarding her leg. When Woodard saw Smith in practice this week, she made the decision to use her off the bench. "She's had two great practices," Woodard said. "I talked to her before the game and asked her if she had any fears. She said no, and I said we're going with you." Smith gave credit to Woodard for providing her with advice before the game that allowed her to produce so well. "I'm always encouraging her," Woodard said. "She has a freeflowing game. She just has to relax and know that we believe in her." Aside from the game at Kansas State, when the team was without two starters, Smith has not played double-digit minutes all season. After this game, she may have the opportunity to show-off more. Her play not only shocked the 737 fans who came to the game, it amazed her teammates as well. "She shocked me. I didn't know Sharita could do all that," sophomore forward Tamara Ransburg said. Ransburg said Smith's effort gave the team extra energy. "We need all 13 of us to come off the bench and give that," Ransburg said. Ransom sale. In the last few games Woodard has been looking for some sort of spark to drive the team forward. "I'm glad she hit some of those shots. It helped her confidence, and she's really going to help us," Woodard said. This season, Smith has only been able to play one game at a time. Smith said she now thinks that she can be a consistent contributor to this team. "I'm pretty sure I can play more minutes," Smith said. "I'm pretty sure I can." — Edited by Robert Perkins BRITCHES CLOTHING THREE PRICE SALE ALL REMAINING FALL TOPS SKIRTS PANTS & COATS JUST... 9.99 19.99 29.99 843 Massachusetts St. 843-0454 BRITCHES CLOTHING THREE PRICE SALE ALL REMAINING FAIR 843 Massachusetts 9.99 19.99 29.99 JASON CARNEY IS THE NEONEOX SUPERHERO FOR MORE INFORMATION WWW.NEONOX.COM GROWING FEBRUARY 19TH, 7:00 PM HAWKS NEST, LEVEL 1, KANSAS UNION GA HAWKS NEST The University of Kansas Chancellor's Student Awards Committee The Class of 1913 Award is accepting nominations and applications for the following graduating senior awards: The Agnes Wright Strickland Award The Donald K.

The Jayhawks finished tied for sixth place with 18 teams entered in the tournament. South Alabama won the tournament by defeating Central Florida in a playoff. Third place went to Coastal Carolina. Gareth Maybin of South Alabama took individual honors by shooting a three-round total of 8-under par 208. Finishing in the top third of the field was an impressive start for the Jayhawks. Juniors Andrew Price and Kevin Ward led the team by both shooting 1 under pat totals of 215. "Andrew and Kevin both played very well this tournament," coach Ross Randall said. "We are going to get back on the course and practice more before the next tournament." Of the entire field, that earned them a tie for seventh place individually. Freshman Tyler Docking carded a three-round total of 231. Freshman Gary Woodland shot a three-round total of 233 and sophomore Ryan Rainer had a three-round total of 235. "The team played better in today's round," Randall said. "We shook off a little of the rust from yesterday and shot a one-over-round as a team." Royals outfielder to battle for last spot on team roster Kansas golf trees off next from the Oak Hill Country Club in San Antonio, where it will compete in the UTSA Invitational on March 1 and 2. Eric Sorrentino The Associated Press SURPRISE, Ariz. — Dee Brown knows his chances to make the Kansas City Royals' roster out of spring training became slim after the club signed free agent outfielders Juan Gonzalez and Matt Stairs. Brown, who was a 1996 first-round pick, began the 2001 season as the Royals designated hitter. He won a roster spot last year as a utility outfielder after hitting .348 with five home runs and 21 RBIs in spring training. But a wrist injury in May kept him out for seven weeks and "When they lost Raul (Ibanez, an outfielder who signed in November with Seattle), I knew they weren't going with me." Brown said after a Tuesday workout. "I knew they would get another outfielder. When they signed Matt Stairs and Juan Gonzalez, it wasn't a surprise to me. ended the season hitting just 227 in 50 games. He had only 53 atbats after the All-Star break. "Was I happy when they signed Juan and Matt? No." Stairs, like Brown, hits left-handed. The Royals have said left field is Aaron Gearl's job to lose after he hit .277 with 15 home runs in 99 games last season. Gonzalez will start in right field and Carlos Beltran returns in center. The Royals picked up Rich Thompson as a late inning defensive specialist and for his speed. If no Royals' outfielder is hurt in spring training, Brown's path to Kansas City is essentially blocked. Brown also is out of minor league options. If he does not make the major league club, Brown would have to clear waivers, which is unlikely, before the Royals could send him back to their minor league team in Omaha. BAYLOR: Battling Bears at home may give Jayhawks an advantage CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B John Lucas transferred to Oklahoma State, power forward Lawrence Roberts transferred to Mississippi State and forward Kenny Taylor went to Austin, Texas. The three players, who are all now on top-15 teams, score a combined average of 39.2 points per game. Despite a depleted lineup, the Bears still have capable scorers and are led by a fiery first-year head coach, Scott Drew. Drew, who was an assistant under his father, Homer, at Valparaiso, has gained respect from other Big 12 coaches and Baylor fans for getting the most from his players. "Scott has done a good job because you know that has been a dicey situation," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "If I was a Baylor fan, with all of the stuff they have gone through and looking for a fresh start, I would be really proud to be a guy who supports the program." Kansas (15-6, 7-3), will look for relief in its home court tonight, in their first home game since the Feb. 7 defeat of Texas Tech. Kansas is 9-1 at home this year. Heavy defeats away may have caused some fans to lose confidence in the Jayhawks, but freshman forward J.R. Giddens is not worried. "If I was a Baylor fan, with all of the stuff they have gone through and looking for a fresh start, I would be really proud to be a guy who supports the program." "After we win a couple of Bill Self Men's basketball coach games, some of those fairweather fans will be back," Giddens said. "It's really not about them, it's about us." Not everyone is convinced returning to Allen Fieldhouse will be a cure-all. Following Sunday's loss at Nebraska, Self, along with junior forward Wayne Simien, questioned the commitment of everyone on the team. The focus of the team is on getting everyone to put fort the same effort, not on returning home. "Losing a basketball game is losing a basketball game, no matter where it is," Langford said. "I think if Nebraska would have played like they played Sunday in the Fieldhouse, they probably still would have won the game. It's all predicated on how the team plays no matter what arena we're in." -Edited by Meghan Brune BAYLOR (7-16 overall, 2-8 Big 12) Probable Starters Pos. Name Yr.

TENNIS DOUBLES Aggressive play makes for team 1-2 punch CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B Haylock grew up playing on grass courts in Australia. Grass courts force a player to come to the net more often. She was taught to attack the net. Filberth, 5-feet-5 with short, brown hair, is quiet. She likes to keep her emotions in check on the court. Yet Haylock, 5-feet-10 with long, blond hair, is loud and outgoing. She is not afraid to let the other team see her emotions. "With Emily's leadership and ability to communicate on the courts, it takes Ashley's tennis game to a different level," Kansas coach Amy Hall said. Filberth is a baseline player. Her powerful serve sets up the first volley for Haylock nicely. They are both aggressive and assertive power hitters. One is still developing and the other is peaking. Filberth is still adjusting to play at the college level. She didn't play for the team at her new high school. She focused on her individual game at the Mike Wolf Tennis Academy. She played for Notre Dame de Sion High School in Kansas City, Mo., for a couple of years, but transferred to Blue Valley Northwest High School when Sion wouldn't let her leave class early to train. She wasn't used to having the pressure to perform for a team fall on her. She never played on a team in juniors tennis. Unlike Haylock, she never played doubles. Filberth was used to bearing the mental pressure on the court alone. But that's all changed now. Kansas' number one doubles team lost, and the number three doubles team won. Filberth and Haylock cruised into first match, up 3-0. Kansas' first match of the season was Feb. 1 in Topeka against Mississippi. Despite the home crowd cheering on the team from only 6 feet away, the momentum of the match switched. Haylock and Filberth fell behind, 4-6. They won the next game, then lost again. The score was evened at seven. "The other team didn't know I was nervous," Filberth said. "I was just telling her." But she wasn't by herself anymore. She had Haylock to ease the mental pressure. Haylock thrives on this atmosphere. She loves the crowd and pressure. "I just told her to take some deep breathes and relax," Haylock said. The strategy worked and Haylock and Filberth came back to win the next two games and the match. Kansas won the doubles point. By the end of the match, Filberth was able to let it all soak in and smile. "We were having a great time," she said. —Edited by Amanda Kim Stairrett FATS LAWRENCE'S 1010 Main This & Weekend BAGARDI GRAS: Fat Tuesday PRIZES, FUN, AND A TON OF BEADS! Remember FAT TUESDAY!

Members of the University's administration and advisers from the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life have endorsed a new schedule for the 2004 Panhellenic fall formal recruitment. Under the proposed schedule, potential sorority members will move into the residence halls one day before other students so that recruitment can begin on Saturday, Aug. 14. Recruitment activities will then be held throughout the week prior to first day of classes, and end Saturday, Aug. 21. The Panhellenic Council will meet Tuesday to vote on whether to implement the schedule. This is the most mutually beneficial arrangement for both active and potential sorority members, said Susan Henry, vice president of recruitment for the Panhellenic Executive Board. "Scholarship is something that the Panhellenic community as a whole supports and excels in," Henry said, "and I feel that this schedule allows for scholarship to take a precedence." The Fort Scott junior said other possible recruitment schedules included activities during fall or winter break, but this plan would be more academically conducive because women would not have to attend classes and recruitment events simultaneously. For the past two years, recruitment has started on the same day as classes. That has been demanding not only for prospective sorority members, but current members as well, said Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success. She said with that schedule, it was hard to focus on academics, which was especially crucial for first-year students. "We're all here to get an education, and academics are the number one priority," Roney said. "To start the semester feeling tired and behind is not the way most of us would like to do it." After assessing feedback from students and alumni advisers, there have been ongoing challenges in creating a recruitment schedule, Roney said. Ensuring that the activities don't conflict with Hawk Week, the start of classes, or the final weeks of women's summer jobs and internships were among her chief concerns. This schedule will be a vast improvement that solves those problems, said Taylor Lister, head Panhellenic recruitment SEE RECRUITMENT ON PAGE GA TENTATIVE SCHEDULE FOR 2004 PANHELLENIC FALL FORMAL RECRUITMENT Saturday, Aug. 14 - Recruitment Check-In and Move-In Monday, Aug. 16 - Open House Round Day 2 - Tuesday, Aug. 17 - First Invitational Round Sunday, Aug. 15 - Open House Round Day 1 Wednesday, Aug. 18 - Second Invitational Round Thursday, Aug. 19 - No events, first day of classes ■ Friday, Aug. 20 - Third Invitational Preference Round Saturday, Aug. 21 - Bid Day Source: Panhellenic Council Public Relations Guaranteed delivery J Keith Langford, junior guard, cut around opponents last night in Allen Fieldhouse.

Annie Bernethy/Kansan Senate fills one-half of replacement seats By Andy Marso amarso@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Student Senate wanted to add 12 replacement senators last night, but were able to find only six. The remaining six seats were left vacant because there were no applicants qualified to fill them. Tyler Longpine and Patrick Bengson were appointed to serve as junior/senior College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senators to represent CLAS students with more than 60 hours. Ethan Nuss, Oluwafemi Morohunfola and Kevin McKenzie were appointed to represent CLAS students with 60 hours or less. Mike Wellems was appointed as a business senator. Senate received no applications from graduate students for four vacant graduate senator appointments. It also received no applications for openings for the School of Fine Arts or the School of Education. A bill was introduced to make those six seats at-large senators and appoint CLAS applicants to them, but it failed. CLAS apprehended at Muneer Ahmad, law senator, argued against the bill, saying CLAS students couldn't properly represent graduate students. "They don't have the required level of experience," Ahmad said. "They can't fully relate to all the problems of graduate students." Jeff Morrow, graduate senator argued for the bill. He pointed out that Senate had put out four advertisements in the The University Daily Kansan encouraging graduate students to interview for the positions, and that none had responded. "The people that paid attention were there, the people that didn't weren't," Morrow said. Emily Schutte, graduate senator, argued against the bill. She said the advertising hadn't targeted graduate students well enough and that she knew other graduate students who would have applied if they had known about the openings. The Senate Replacement Seat Committee will meet today to decide if the seats will be re-opened for new applicants or will remain vacant until the spring elections. In other senate news: Senate passed a resolution to support its appointed senators last night. The resolution was written in response to an article in the November issue of the KU College Republicans' Pachyderm newsletter. The article said that appointing senators was discriminatory and singled out the Black Student Union as an example of a group that did not need an appointed representative since five of the 66 elected senators were black. The resolution stated that the appointed seats were "created for the purpose of assuring that important voices of student organizations are always heard." Senate saw a presentation of a new map of Lawrence that celebrates the city's sesquicentennial, or 150th anniversary. The map included an overview of the city with close-ups of civic landmarks along the right and left borders of the map. The maps are on sale at the Kansas Union Bookstore for $19.95 with proceeds funding sesquicentennial events. - Edited by Paul Kramer MTV parody leads student to success By Samia Khan skhan@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Will Russell gave MTV more than they asked for. Last summer, the Wheaton, Ill., sophomore picked up a flier for a MTV contest while shopping in his hometown. Producers of TRL were looking to film an episode and host a party in a local resident's backyard for the MLB All-Star game in Chicago that summer. The flier instructed contestants to film their backyards and send in the video. "I'll make movies for any reason whatsoever," Russell said. "But I wasn't going to let it be ordinary. I either want to make people laugh or say 'That's intense.'" So instead of just filming his backyard, Russell made the five-minute video look like an episode of the popular MTV show, Cribs. After 15 hours of editing, the finished product was a parody identical to the style of the MTV show: exaggerated angles and an edgy soundtrack. But instead of Cristal in the refrigerator there were salmon files, and his white Plymouth minivan took the place of an Escalade in the driveway. Escalade in the driveway. "We thought they would think we were making fun of them and that there would be no way we were going to win," Russell said. A week after he sent in his video, producers from MTV called to tell him he did win and they would be in contact with him to set up plans for the backyard bash. A few days later, MTV called back and cancelled. Russell said they told him it would not be feasible to bring TRL to Chicago. Congrige. "They were pretty shady and vague about it," he said. "I assumed they didn't have the money to do it." MTV chose a winner from New Jersey instead. "We did it as a joke," he said. "It worked out that somebody who actually wanted it got it." The art of filmmaking is not something Russell usually takes as a joke. Russell started making films for class projects when he was 13. He used every class project as an opportunity for a funny or elaborate film. Not only was it an easy A, he said, but it also provided him with an SEE MTV OB PAGE 6A Brent Carter/Karman Mike Feld, Denver, Colo., sophomore, and Will Russell, Wheaton, Ill., sophomore, discussed what digital effects would work well in their latest video project last night at Theta Chi.

For the first time, the University of Kansas mock trial team received two bids to national tournaments. CAMPUS Two mock trial teams prepare for national tournament in Fla. Mock trial competitions are three-hour mini-trials where undergraduates play the roles of attorneys and witnesses. The actual verdict of the trial is not decided and does not affect the scoring. The team is composed of two subteams — the experienced team and the novice team. The experienced team will go to the Gold Flight Nationals April 2 to 4 in Des Moines, Iowa. The novice team will go to the Silver Flight Nationals March 5 to 7 in St. Petersburg, Fla. If the novice team places in the top four in St. Petersburg, it will go on to the Gold Flight Nationals with the experienced team. The Mock Trial team is sponsored by the School of Law, Student Senate and the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association. Anna Clovis STATE Senate endorses proposal increasing speed limit to 75 TOPEKA—A Senate committee endorsed a plan yesterday to raise the speed limit to 75 mph on rural parts of some Kansas highways. Sen. Robert Tyson (R-Parker) said the change would promote economic development. He said long-distance travelers prefer Interstate 80 in Nebraska, which has a speed limit of 75 mph in rural areas. That has led to the development of restaurants, motels and truck stops on the Nebraska route, Tyson said. "I-80 is called Nebraska's main street," Tvson said. "Let's do the same for I-70." David Church, chief of the Transportation Department's bureau of traffic engineering, said he didn't think an increase in the speed limit would lead to more freeway accidents. "When we raised the speed limits from 65 to 70 a few years ago, we did not see an increase in crashes," Church said. NATION The Associated Press Bush doesn't back forecast on employment increases WASHINGTON — The White House backed away yesterday from its own prediction that the economy will add 2.6 million new jobs before the end of this year, saying the forecast was the work of "number-cruncher" and that President Bush was not a statistician. White House press secretary Scott McClellan was asked repeatedly about the forecast but declined to embrace the prediction, which is in the annual report of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. Unemployment and the slow pace of job creation are political liabilities for Bush as he heads into a battle for re-election. Despite strong economic growth, the nation has lost about 2.2 million jobs since he became president. The jobs forecast was the second recent economic flop for the White House. Last week, Bush distanced himself from White House economist N. Gregory Mankiw's assertion that the loss of U.S. jobs overseas had long-term benefits for the U.S. economy. He said the annual economic report was based on data from about three months ago. Since then, Bush has said that things are improving. The Associated Press Department issues guidelines, raises fines for illegal items WASHINGTON — Anyone trying to sneak a knife onto an airplane could be fined $250 and a passenger with an explosive could get as much as $10,000 under new guidelines. Thousands of airline passengers board planes every year carrying banned items such as cuticle scissors, box cutters and guns. Tom Blank, assistant administrator for transportation security policy, testified before Congress last week that the Transportation Security Administration has intercepted more than 1,650 firearms and more than 3 million knives since Sept. 11, 2001. When Congress created the Homeland Security Department last year, it raised the maximum fine for trying to carry prohibited items through airport security from $1,100 to $10,000. The TSA, which became part of Homeland Security, issued the guidelines yesterday spelling out the range of fines applied to each violation. The guidelines list aggravating factors, such as "attitude" and "artful concealment," that can bring a heftier fine.

The city will become a swirling entity of masks, beads and screaming revelry. Crowds will take the streets in force. They will join parades filled with surreal costumes all to usher in Fat Tuesday. In the middle of the insanity, University of Kansas students will be there. "Expect the wildest possible trip," Paul Brand, Overland Park "Expect the wildest possible trip. But once you get there, imagine a step beyond that." junior and former Louisiana native, said. "But once you get there, imagine a step beyond that." Paul Brand Overland Park junior Abe Sipe has been there before. The Topeka junior is going this time with the University ROTC Naval Drill Team for a national competition, officially. Unofficially, he's there for a good time. For those taking the trek down to the party—some for business, others for fun—the expectations are high. After he and the 25-person battalion finish their maneuvers, they'll have liberty from noon on Friday to early Saturday morning, Sipe said. "This time we're going to try and experience more of the Cajun culture," Sipe said. As Sipe and Brand wander the wild wonderland after their own serious work, others are there for the simplest of reasons: to party. help of Brand, he intends to see more of the inner workings of New Orleans, Sipe said. In the past, Sipe and his friends spent time on the bustling Bourbon street. This time, with the "It's something you have to do while you are in college," Rebecca Pauls, St. Louis senior, said. "It's probably-something you won't be able to do once you graduate." Pauls and her five friends have also been there before, and look forward to some of the familiar aspects of the town. "I'm just looking forward to all the crazy people," Pauls said. "Sucking the head off a crawfish is an experience too." To celebrate the experience, Pauls and her friends are making T-shirts with the Jayhawk logo, Pauls said. They do this to have a conversation piece and to be able to connect with former Kansas alumni in New Orleans, Pauls said. Pauls and her friends started preparing for the trip two weeks ago, and found a hotel room a block from Bourbon street, she said. For those leaving at the spur of me moment to try the Big Easy, the trip might be a big hard time, said Veronica Duncan, Branch Manager of STA travel. Almost everything is booked, but you can still find a place if you don't mind driving to get downtown, Duncan said. Once there though, Brand understands an important caveat. "Go as wild as you want and remember some have got cameras rolling," Brand said. "So don't do anything you don't want your parents to see." Warmer temperatures help prepare for future clean up Edited by Guillaume Doane By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Now that temperatures have risen beyond freezing this week, campus has become soggy and sloppy from the melting snow. Despite the sudden snow melt, Facilities Operations has experienced relatively few problems associated with the water-logged campus. The warmer weather has given the heavily burdened department a brief respite to allow for equipment repairs. Larry Rawlings, associate director of construction, said several instances of minor equipment failures occurred but now many of the problems were straightened out. One of the problems the department encountered was roofleaks. One such instance occurred in the southwest corner of Stauffer-Flint Hall. Rawlings said fixing leaks "We'll be ready for anything. But we hope it doesn't happen." Larry Rawlings Associate director of construction became a problem with sudden water runoff, but most of the leaks he knew of were minor. Additionally, the wet campus has delayed efforts to remove sand that accumulated from recent clean up efforts. Rawlings said street sweepers could not do their work until campus was drier. The warmer weather might not be around for long as a combination of rain and snow forecast for tomorrow could make for an icy campus, according to Lang. Should bad weather occur, Rawlings said the department was ready to combat another round of winter weather with the usual routine of snow removal. Plans for upcoming winter weather are initiated by pretreating sidewalks and steps with magnesium chloride to reduce ice as much as possible. Once the snow starts, the University mandates priority roads and walkways on campus to be cleared first. Lang said handicapped stalls on campus were the highest priority. After the handicapped areas, walkways that get students to campus as well as main bus routes on campus receive attention. "After that, it's just about getting everything else taken care of." Lang said. Work crews also move snow piles to remote areas on campus, which provides space to move new snow, should another storm follow. "We'll be ready for anything," Rawlings said. "But we hope it doesn't happen." —Edited by Ashley Arnold Jaywalkin Kit Leffler/Kansan I Casey Cole, Wichita sophomore, crossed the street to wait for a bus yesterday afternoon. "The weather is beautiful today," Cole said. Yesterday's high temperature was 59 degrees, melting piles of snow on campus. TOP OF THE HILL 2004 Top of The Hill is your chance to vote for the best.

Online. 1 4A the university daily kansan opinion thursday, february 19, 2004 DEMOCRATS IN DETAIL Kucinich campaign uncovered Dennis Kucinich remains positive. Positive, he said, that he will win the Democratic presidential bid and contest George W. Bush to November. COMMENTARY PETER G. Travis Metcalf opinion@kansan.com campaign based strongly on anti-war rhetoric and support of same-sex marriage. Kucinich is easily the most liberal of all the Democratic candidates vying to face Bush. He has built a In Bowling, Green, Ohio, on a public affairs television show, Rep. Kucinich (D-Ohio) said he expected to be the nominee. But with only two electoral delegates, he's got a long way to go. Kucinich's political career dates back to 1977 when he was elected mayor of Cleveland at the age of 31. He was and is the youngest person to be elected mayor of a major United States city. After about 20 years out of politics, he was elected representative of Ohio's 10th congressional district in 1996, which consists of Cleveland. Since he has been in congress, Kucinich voted against the Homeland Security Act and against the use of force in Iraq. If elected president, he said one of his first priorities would be to bring the troops home from Iraq. He also wants to form a new cabinet position, the Department of Peace. He wants to end the United State's participation in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). In his campaign, Kucinich has been unwavering in his support for same-sex marriage. Other than Rev. Al Sharpton, Kucinich is the only candidate who is taking a strong stand on same-sex marriage. Kucinich is a vegan, a person who doesn't eat anything that comes from animals. He takes pride in bringing far left-leaning Democrats back into the party. Democrats. "I can bring Greens, Natural Law followers...I can bring the blue-collar Democrats back who went with Ronald Reagan years ago," Kucinich told the Austin American-Statesman. Kucinich grew up poor. He hasn't forgotten that. Though Kucinich doesn't tell tales of his unfortunate upbringing, the Austin American-Statesman reported that Kucinich used to live in cars. That is a stark difference between Kucinich and most of the other candidates in the race. Kerry has always been a person of wealth. Sharpton may not be rich, perse, but he has friends in high places who help provide for him. According to a New York Times profile on Gov. Howard Dean (D.Vt.) he grew up in the Hamptons, an area known for its expensive housing. Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) did not grow up in a wealthy household, but after years of work as an attorney Edwards has Kucinich's bank account beat. Kucinich has always taken the optimistic road, and his bid for the presidency is no different. Although Kucinich's support does not win him states, so far, he remains positive. Perhaps that's his biggest strength: he is the definition of persistence. POLITICS UP CLOSE The columns on this page are part of a series the Kansan is publishing, "Democrats in detail." The columns are meant to provide a closer look at each of the Democratic candidates still in the race for the presidential nomination. For more information on these candidates, check out the opinion section on www.kansan.com. Responses to this series will be printed next week. Metcalf is a Wichita senior in journalism Paul Whittemore for The University Daily Kansan So WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A COLLEGE EDUCATION—IF I WAS A COLLEGE AND LOOKING IN THE MIRROR—I'D CORRECT WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME. YOU DON'T GET THAT? ILL REPEAT. SOME MORE ANECDOTES FOR YOU THEN. hey, hey-al-al—tell em about Kucinich—the wants to use the Pentagons funding for Kindergarten—hey, hey al...i think we're falling. Democratic options lacking upcoming election will suffer WAKE UP! The Democrats' choices for a presidential candidate are starting to dwindle down to the last man standing, which would appear to be Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.). But just because Kerry will more than likely receive the nomination does not mean he is the right man for the job. A COMMENTARY Brandon Cobb opinion@kansan.com That being said, I do commend voters in the Democratic Party for rallying its support behind one person so that it can focus on the bigger picture: defeating Bush. Kerry has to know he is enjoying success in the primaries because he won the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary. If any other candidate had won those contests it would be safe to assume that major support would have shifted in that candidate's favor. When former Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun (D-Ill.) dropped out of the race, she threw her support to front-runner Howard Dean (D-Vt.). Similarly, Gen. Wesley Clark gave his support to the front-runner when he dropped out of the race, only this time the front-runner was Kerry. In my short voting career I have voted in every local and state election, as well as the 2000 presidential election. I cannot express enough the importance of voting. After participating in election history — the 2000 Presidential Election — and witnessing Americans voice concern over disenfranchisement and the Electoral College, I thought there would never come a time in my life when I would not vote in an election. However, I am so disappointed by this year's candidate choices, I may not vote in November's election. I think that this year's presidential election has the potential to be the driest presidential campaign in United States history. The Bush and Kerry camps are already starting to take shots at each other, and I do not want to hear more senseless mudslinging. Our country is at war, jobs are leaving America, and sending jabs back and forth isn't going to benefit this country in the least. Kerry's favorite campaign slogan is, "Bring it on." Bring what? Kerry appears to be welcoming a good ol' dirty fight. In the past few weeks, Bush's military credentials have been a major subject of debate. The opposition is questioning whether Bush actually served in the National Guard during 1972 to 1973. "Those of us who were in the military wonder how it is that someone who supposedly serving on active duty... can miss a whole year of service without even explaining where it went," Kerry said in a 2000 Associated Press article. Who cares? Kerry certainly did not have a problem with President Clinton not serving in the military. When Kerry finished his service in Vietnam, he was a decorated soldier that was ironically opposed U.S. involvement in Vietnam. He was an outspoken leader for a group called Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Kerry even wrote a controversial book called The New Soldier that depicted Vietnam veterans hoisting an upside down U.S. flag on the cover. Kerry knew first-hand what it felt like to fight a useless war, having lived through Vietnam and decided to vote for supporting the troops in President Bush's useless war in Iraq anyway. But he wants you to believe that he would do things differently than Bush. What a hypocrite. There are many places around the world with growing tensions that will require U.S. involvement in some way, whether it be through diplomacy or military intervention. The leader chosen in this year's election will definitely need to choose this country's battles wisely. The reason I briefly touched on Bush and Kerry's military experience is because this will be the most talked about subject during the early part of the campaign. The media as well as the Bush and Kerry camps will use the military as a political tool in this year's election.

It is exhausting to walk to class and be smarter than everyone. Al Sharpton is, without a doubt, one of the most outspoken candidates vying for the Democratic presidential nomination. COMMENTARY Jonathan Reeder opinion@kansan.com Sharpton's response during last May's debate in South Carolina is a prime example of "the Rev's" style. To a question about President Bush's tax cut he said, "It's like Jim Jones giving you Kool-Aid. It tastes good, but Sharpton stance revealed The native New Yorker is a long-time activist for civil rights. He was a preacher at the age of 4, and was ordained as a Pentecostal minister at 10. In 1971, Sharpton went on to found the National Youth Movement, an advocacy group for inner-city children. Twenty years later, he founded the National Action Network, a civil rights organization. This is Sharpton's fourth bid for political office. Sharpton lost the New York Senate Democratic primary in 1992 and 1994. Each year, he garnered more support. In 1997, he nearly forced a run-off in the New York City mayoral primary, with 32 percent of the vote.

Sharpton told CNN that Democrats have taken on conservative traits: "I do believe that the Party has a bunch of elephants running around in donkev clothes." **Maximum Length:** 650 word limit **Include:** Author's name Class, hometown (student) Position (faculty member) **Also:** The Kansan will not print guest columns that attack another columnist.

To date, Sharpton has won only 16 delegates, placing him a distant fourth in the running. Reeder is an lola senior in journalism. Sharpton's campaign is based on a strong civil rights, education and tax relief platform. His campaigns Web site, www.sharpton2004.org, features "Rev. Al Sharpton's Top Ten" reasons for running for president. LETTER GUIDELINES Early in his campaign, Sharpton spoke in favor of abortion rights and sex-sex marriage rights, despite his religious convictions.

The city commission approved the move from 623 Vermont St. in November, but has yet to approve site plans for the new location at 846 Illinois St., where Dodson's Liquor and Keg used to be. The need to move the bar came after a developer had plans for the building that Rick's Place occupies now. The commission's decision in November was to grant a waiver so that the bar could retain their liquor license considering the new location was less than 400 feet from St. Sophia's Orthodox Church. Now, concerns about the building plans and the number of parking spots have put a halt to owner Rick Younger's bar relocation again. Younger said that his bar had to move out of its present location no later than April 20. "The clock is ticking." Younger said. "I'm going to try to get in there as soon as damn possible." The city planner's office held a meeting about the concerns of different city departments on Friday, and the issue has been pushed to Tuesday's city commission meeting. Sandra Day, City/County planner, said that all the zoning requirements of the move had to be satisfied before the planner's office could submit a recommendation for approval. Younger's site plan included some vague descriptions and mismatched dimensions. Day said. "These are all little things," she said. Day said that she expected to be drafting the recommendation for approval, but that after that, she didn't know what would happen. "I don't even try to predict how the city commission will react on an item." Day said. The city requested that Younger add five additional parking spots to the 40-spot lot. Younger said that he also had to build two new bathrooms in the building, put in new air conditioners and rewire the electrical system. it." Younger said, "It's just a matter of the city saving 'OK.'" "We've got the layout and everything just the way we want Once the city approves the bar's site plans, Younger can start the building process. After he finishes, the bar will be subject to city approval once again. The whole moving process was taking a lot longer than expected, Younger said. "It's like an obstacle course," Younger said. "We've got to jump through a lot of hoops." younger said that the new Rick's Place would seem smaller because of lower ceilings,but that the atmosphere would be the same. Many of the old elements of the old bar will carry over like the actual bar top, darts room and a popular gaming accessory. "I know I'd have a riot on my hands if I didn't bring the shuffleboard table." Younger said. Younger said that the table would be more of a centerpiece in the new bar, pulled away from the wall with stools put around it. But not until the city says so. — Edited by Ashley Arnold Primaries down to four, Kerry still front-runner The Associated Press For Edwards, second place in Dean planned to oversee a new effort to keep his issues alive and his supporters organized on behalf of Democratic causes, party officials told the AP on condition of anonymity. Dean would eventually support the Democratic Party's nominee, they said, and he was considering whether to endorse one of his rivals. MIDDLETON, Wis. —The race for the Democratic nomination narrowed to a two-man contest between front-runner John Kerry and plucky rival John Edwards yesterday after Howard Dean ended his bid before the campaign spread to the 10 crucial "Super Tuesday" states. Kerry won the primary with about 40 percent of the vote while Edwards finished a close second with 34 percent. Dean, who had banked his future on a strong showing in Wisconsin, drew just 18 percent. The former Vermont governor then decided to end his campaign, two party officials told The Associated Press. "The voters in Wisconsin sent a clear message. The message was this: Objects in your mirror may be closer than they appear." Wisconsin was a boon to a campaign that was not expected to survive a weak finish. He promised to campaign across the country and contended his organization was in strong shape financially. "The voters of Wisconsin sent a clear message," Edwards said Tuesday night. "The message was this: Objects in your mirror may be closer than they appear." John Edwards Democratic nominee Kerry gave no indication he was fazed by the Edwards surge in Wisconsin. "We're going to win the nomination," Kerry told the AP. Kerry's advisers pointed out that even though Edwards closed the gap in Wisconsin, Kerry still has won 15 of 17 contests. Edwards has only one, South Carolina, where he was born. "We play everywhere, unlike John Edwards and Howard Dean and anyone else in the race," said Steve Elmendorf, Kerry's deputy campaign manager. "The problem these other candidates have is they are not competing in a serious way to get enough delegates to get the nomination." The Mar. 2 contests are in California, New York, Ohio, Minnesota, Vermont, Georgia, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maryland. At stake will be 1,51 delegates, more than half the total needed to claim the nomination. Utah, Idaho and Hawaiian will vote next Feb. 24, but with only 61 delegates up for grabs total, those states will not be a focus of the campaign. Aides said Edwards' populist message would resonate in Ohio and upstate New York,areas hard hit by job losses. The Southern-bred candidate also should do well in Georgia. California is by far the day's biggest prize, with 370 delegates, followed by New York with 236. band: $ (undisclosed amount) make-up & wardrobe: $7000 soy cappuccinos: $250 camera crew: $1200 a day make-up & wardrobe: $7000 soy cappuccinos: $250 camera crew: $1200 a day you are here: priceless Go to mastercard.com to apply for an internship making a music video for the band Hoobastank. there are some things money can't buy. for everything else there's MasterCard® MasterCard DON'S AUTO CENTER "For all your repair needs" * Import and Domestic Repair & Maintenance * Machine Shop Service Computer Diagnostics 841-4833 920 E. 11th Street --- LAWRENCE AUTOMOTIVE DIAGNOSTICS INC.

Bush concerned about gay unions The Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Bush said yesterday he was troubled by gay weddings in San Francisco and by recent legal decisions in Massachusetts. He declined to say whether he was more likely now to back a constitutional ban. However, he spoke privately with conservative Catholics about the issue, and an activist who favored a ban said the president would announce his support soon. "I have consistently stated that I'll support law to protect marriage between a man and a woman. Obviously these events are influencing my decision," Bush said. Bush didn't answer directly when asked if he was any closer to endorsing a constitutional ban on same-sex marriages. "I'm watching very carefully. But I'm troubled by what I've seen," Bush said. "People need to be involved with this decision. Marriage ought to be defined by the people, not by the courts." One group took issue with Bush's insistence that "people," not "In San Francisco, the democratically elected mayor took this action just weeks after hundreds of thousands of people voted for him," said Jon Davidson, senior counsel of Lambda Legal, a gay and lesbian legal group. the courts, need to resolve the issue. Yesterday, Bush met with 13 Roman Catholic conservatives. They included Deal Hudson, the publisher of *Crisis* magazine; William Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights; Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan and Kathryn Jean Lopez, associate editor of *National Review* magazine. Bush reiterated his pledge to back a constitutional amendment "if necessary." Duffy said. Separately, Gary Bauer, a conservative and one-time presidential candidate, said Rove has assured him Bush will back an amendment. "I believe the decision has been made," Bauer said in a telephone interview. Bauer said he expected Bush to announce his support by the end of the month. RECRUITMENT: Sororities' plan will make for a shorter summer counselor. The Troy junior said having most of the recruitment events before classes started would make the process — and the transitional period into college — seem less overwhelming for prospective members. "Last year a lot of women had classes at the time of the events, so it was really hard for them to decide which was more important, class or recruitment," Lister said. "So I think it discouraged a lot more women from going through with the process because it was too much to handle." Because the bulk of recruitment will be done in the daytime, prospective members will still have the benefit of participating in Hawk Week, said Angie Carr, coordinator for Fraternity and Sorority Life. The only concern Henry said she had with the proposed schedule was that during the last two years, approximately 70 women signed up for recruitment on move-in day after arriving at the University and realizing they wanted to participate. She said with this schedule, if women were to wait that long, they would have already missed the first full day of recruitment activities. "It's unfortunate that we end up losing that small group," Henry said. "But that's definitely something we can overcome with increased PR so that they're thinking about it before they get here." Bridget Hardy, freshman from Manhattan, said that while she didn't think the schedule change would be too big a deal for potential members, it might be frustrating for active members. As an active member of Pi Beta Phi, Hardy said that it would be somewhat of an inconvenience to have to return even earlier before the potential members arrive to prepare for the recruitment activities. Carr said she was confident that Panhellenic Council would approve the schedule. "While there will never be a perfect recruitment schedule or a perfect recruitment time, I think right now we're going to be working with one that's going to work well," Carr said. MTV: Award-winning student filmmaker keeps creating after setback - Edited by Robert Perkins CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A audience. Feedback from his classmates gradually built his confidence in filmmaking. Russell slowly taught himself the techniques and terminology of film without any formal training or classes. He has won five student film festival awards for his work. "Everybody has that one thing that is naturally easy for him to do. Film is just one of those strong points for me," he said. He began making films outside of school assignments when he was a junior in high school. Now he is working with his friend Mike Feld on his ninth film since his junior year. He said it would be his longest and most professional-looking film. Russell and Feld, Denver sophomore, have spent six months writing the script together and are trying to get financial backing to get more equipment. Feld met Russell their freshman year in Hashinger Hall. They immediately clicked as friends and as filmmakers. Feld said Russell has taught him the ins and outs of being an innovative filmmaker. "He's very creative but he has a natural approach," Feld said. "He doesn't go for the cheap laughs." Instead of cheap laughs, Feld said Russell works to creatively convey his sense of humor. When the episode of TRL aired from a backyard in New Jersey, Russell and his friends were watching to see what they missed out on. The news was hard to take for Russell and his friends: Hilary Duff and a new car had slipped through their fingers. "My friend saw it and said, 'Oh man, I could've met Hilary Duff and possibly made out with her,'" Russell said, "I was like what the hell, I want the ear." But instead he's still driving the white Plymouth minivan showcased in his *Cribs* parody. Russell said he eventually received his reward: his *Cribs parody* was the top viewed film for November on studentfilms.com. Even without vindication or the awards, Russell said his love of telling a story with movies is enough to keep him working with his camera. "I'm working on a film project all the time," he said.

Following it up with a blowout loss at Nebraska left some of us foaming at the mouth. But before you go starting up www.firebillself.com, remember this is not an all-time low for Kansas men's basketball. basketball. It wasn't even that long ago that Kansas had a string of mediocre seasons similar to this one. During the '99 and '00 seasons, the Jayhawks struggled as much, if not more, than they are right now. Those two teams each lost ten games, went 11-5 in Big 12 Conference play, produced six and eight seeds in the NCAA tournament, and failed to advance past the second round of the big dance. In the '99 season Kansas lost to lowly UMass, a pre-Bob Knight Texas Tech team, Missouri at home, and got swept by Nebraska. It wasn't even that long ago that Kansas had a string of mediocre seasons. The '00 team got blown out against Illinois by 14 points, at Missouri by 22, at Texas by 14, at Oklahoma State by 33, and then again by 19 in the Conference tournament. The two seasons between '98 and '00 were dark times, but they were also the beginning of a great era of Kansas basketball. The list goes on and on. The '99 and '00 teams struggled because they had to replace two NBA lottery draft picks — Paul Pierce and Raef Lafrentz — with role players who did not have the necessary experience to lead. Sound familiar? They suffered endless growing pains and humiliating losses, but the experience that those underclassmen gained in those seasons translated into back-toback Conference championships and Final Fours once they became juniors and seniors. They relied heavily on the contributions of underclassmen Jeff Boschee, Drew Gooden, Nick Collison, and Kirk Hinrich who were still adjusting to college basketball. and seniors. The challenges of replacing lottery picks, relying on role players to lead the team, and starting freshman are all challenges that this year's Kansas basketball team is also facing. They are not going to win the Conference championship this year. They are not going to receive a top seed in the NCAA Tournament this season. They will probably lose another game fans did not expect them to lose along the way. But the core of this team is 9-2 in the NCAA Tournament, and just like a few years ago, they might come together in March. they might be. In '99 Kansas won the Big 12 Conference tournament, and the NCAA tournament's second round gave defending national champion Kentucky all it could handle before losing in overtime. The '00 team led first seed Duke with less than a minute remaining in the game and eventually lost by five points. Kansas74 Baylor54 But even if something like that doesn't happen this year, Kansas basketball will rebound because talented young players will get experience as more than role players, and, when they become upper-classmen, will be ready to lead the Jayhawks back to the Final Four.

Whatever it was, something jolted the Jayhawks on their way to a 74-54 victory over the Baylor Bears.

Despite the 20-point margin of victory, the game was not as easy for Kansas and the numbers indicated that. and the numbers indicated Either way, the Jayhawks are content with another notch in the win column. KANS "Let's say you're running a race for a million dollars," freshman guard J.R. Giddens said. "You can be like, man you barely won, and I'm like I got a million dollars. Hey we can say it's ugly and work on it later. We're ugly winners." Give the Bears credit. For a team that suited up only seven scholarship players and has fought for every break they've received this season, they hung around longer than anyone anticipated. Baylor's two leading scorers for the season, forwards Harvey Thomas and Terrance Thomas, kept the Bears hanging around early. Baylor even had a 7-0 run late in the first half to take a 25-24 lead with 4:32 left before halftime. Guard Matt Sayman hit a pair of free throws late in the first to tie the game, 28-28. The Kansas squad that was on the floor in the first half resembled the team that has shown up in the losses at Oklahoma State and Nebraska. However, the second half showcased a mirror image of the team that scored 96 points against Texas Tech in their last home game. "Hey we can say it's ugly and work on it later. We're ugly winners." 28. Then Kansas senior forward Jeff Graves made his first appearance on the floor since last Monday's 80-60 loss at Oklahoma State because of what coach Bill Self called a lack of effort. Graves crashed the boards and the Jayhawks fed off of the crowd's energy with a quick 5-0 run to take a 33-28 lead at the half. "It was just good to see him in the locker room before the game joking around, playing the music, jumping around," junior guard Keith Langford said. "Any time he's out on the floor he does a lot of intangible things that don't show up on the stat sheet. He's a real knick-knack guy. J. R. Giddens Freshman guard Jeff Hawkins, sophomore guard, and junior guards Michael Lee and Aaron Miles celebrated Kansas's victory over Baylor last night in Allen Fieldhouse. Annie Bernethy/Kansan With Baylor still hanging close at 39- 37, Kansas unleashed a fast-paced 17-4 run to create a 15-point lead in a matter of minutes. The outburst included eight points from Giddens, including two three-point bombs that brought the crowd to its feet. "Coach looked at me and said J.R. you're going to hit your next shot," Giddens said. Giddens attributed his open looks in the second half to Keith Langford penetrating and drawing defenders. Langford had arguably his best all-around game of the season. The junior guard finished with 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Even more impressive was the fact that Langford did not turn the ball over once. "We can talk all about making shots, the alley-oops, the threes or whatever," junior guard Aaron Miles said. "But the way Keith was aggressive, attacking, that opened it up and allowed some of that stuff. I think Keith was a big part of our success tonight. access tonight.

Langford scored 19 points in the win. First-year coach Scott Drew keeps the Bears focused By Mike Norris mnorris@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter With 12:34 left in the second half last night, the Baylor Bears believed they could win. But a 39-37 deficit soon turned into a blowout as Kansas chalked up a 17-2 run, sparked by two J.R. Giddens three pointers. Unfortunately for Baylor, situations such as this have happened a lot this season. With just six scholarship players on the roster, fatigue seems to set in late in the game. But their two Big 12 Conference victories are two more than most experts After an off-season that included the death of a player and the correlating transfers of two key players, no one expected much from the Bears. expected. After the game, the team was so upbeat it was hard to tell it had lost. so open. "We just have a great team," senior forward Terrance Thomas said. "We just play with a lot of heart." Thomas, the conference's second leading scorer with an average of 16.6 points per game, chose to stay with the program despite the off-season events. "I'm just so glad to be here," Thomas said. Perhaps that positive attitude is what kept the Bears in the game for the first 28 minutes last night. A zone defense, and 64 percent shooting in the first half proved that the Bears were not intimidated by the jayhawks, who only led by five at halftime.

The sign, which read "Rock Chalk Gayhawk," was constructed on a piece of folding poster board, and the message was concealed by folding the board up, said Chris Anderson, director of sports information for the Nebraska Athletics Department. Anderson said the sign showed a more appropriate message when it was folded. She said the department discussed the issue at a meeting Tuesday and was resolved to be more vigilant about checking for folding signs in the future. ABC showed the sign briefly during its broadcast of the game,and the sign's presence on television and at the game offended some viewers. — Joe Bant COLLEGE FOOTBALL Colorado will hire specialists to oversee football program DENVER — Colorado said it planned to hire a special administrator to oversee its athletic department and scandal-plagued football program after a female placekicker said she was raped by a teammate four years ago. Katie Hnida says in the upcoming edition of Sports Illustrated that she was assaulted in the summer of 2000. Now at New Mexico, she last year became the first woman ever to score points in a Division I A college football game. Three other women have sued Colorado in federal court, saying they were raped by players or recruits at or after an off-campus party in December 2001 No assault charges have been filed in those cases, but Boulder County prosecutor Mary Keenan said in a deposition for one of the lawsuits that she believes the football program uses alcohol and sex to entice recruits. Keenan did not return a call seeking comment Tuesday. "If and when she decides to come forward, I will support her in doing so, but I respect people's privacy," Keenan told the newspaper. Meanwhile, The Denver Post reported yesterday that a fifth woman told police more than a year ago that she was raped by a football player. That woman did not want to press charges. Hnida, 22, issued a statement Tuesday through New Mexico, saying she was "healing" from "horrors endured" at Colorado. The statement does not mention rape, and she says she does not plan to press charges. COLLEGE BASKETBALL Bill to force Kansas, Wichita to play could cost University TOPEKA—A House bill that would require the University of Kansas men's basketball team to play Wichita State University started off almost as a joke, Rep. Todd Novascone (R-Wichita) told the House Higher Education Committee yesterday. But soon after word of his proposed bill got out, Novascone said he started receiving support from people who think a Kansas-WSU matchup is a good idea. "I know that many people think that this bill and even this hearing today is a waste of taxpayers' money, but I don't agree," he said. "Everyone will remember these two games. The sports bars will be packed, the media will be at a frenzied level, and fans for both sides will be enthusiastic for the games." The University of Kansas estimates that it could lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in television revenues if the Jayhawks are forced to play Wichita State. When told of that figure, Novasco laughed and said he thought it was a joke. Committee chairman Tom Sloan (R-Lawrence) assured him that's the amount the university gave. The schools have not played since the 1992-93 season. They have met 14 times, with Kansas winning 12. The measure, which requires the two teams to play once in 2005-06 and again in 2006-07, started off as a tourism bill. Novascone said Georgia and Iowa legislatures have passed similar laws requiring teams within those states to compete, and Oklahoma passed a resolution urging the University of Oklahoma to play Tulsa. Novascone said the most negative thing he's heard about the bill came in an e-mail from someone who called him an idiot. "I've got that one hanging on my wall," he said.

The Royals beat Texas 6-3. Berger was the Royals' starter in right field on opening day, scoring the team's first run in a victory over the Chicago White Sox. But Berger hit just .219 in 13 games and was optioned May 6 to Triple-A Omaha. He reinjured his left shoulder, which required surgery at the end of the 2002 season.

Today's Birthday (Feb. 19). This year, you have the uncanny ability to prove things that were previously unknown. Scientific insights come in your dreams. Nebulous facts are proven to your satisfaction, and eventually you prove them to all. Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a7 You're liable to be more thoughtful for the next several weeks, starting now. You'll have to curtail your forward motion as you take more into consideration. This is because you've entered new territory. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 6. Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is an 8 You've been going through a testing phase, and it's almost over — for now. The next phase should be a lot more fun for you and for all of your friends. Celebrate! Conditions are changing as you blast into new territory. You'll have a whole stack of new problems to face, as well as new responsibilities. If you've been paying attention, this will be very interesting. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 6 It's always darkest before the dawn. That's what they say, anyway. Remember that, and toss away your sorrow. Relax and let the transformation take place. Lee (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is an 8 Your assignment for the next few weeks is to stash away as much as you can. If you and your partner do this for a while, you'll have abundance later on. You're not quite ready for the final inspection. Someone is likely to find something that has to be done before you get that last stamp of approval. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 6 Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today in an 8 Just when you were at the top of your game, a new twist is introduced. There'll be more work for the next several weeks. Good news; It's the creative kind. scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 6 You've been through some tough times lately, but conditions are changing in your favor. For the next few weeks, love and support will be there, rejuvenating your energy. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is an 8 Grab as much information as you can. You'll find a good use for it. Conditions keep on changing, however. Your next assignment is close to home. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today in a 6. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is an 8 You'll find it easier to absorb new material over the next several weeks. Get books on, or take a class on, whatever has been giving you fits. You're entering a pragmatic phase, and not a moment too soon. Ideas are abundant, but which of them will bring in the biggest profit? It might be a trick that's untrusted. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 6 It's always darkest just before the dawn, and you're coming into your own. Show courage when facing your trepidations, and ask them for a gift.

KangaRoos 813 MASS/841-8289 KangaRoos 'Millionaire' returns to prime-time The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Michael Davies says he's losing sleep over the prospect of a gusher of $10 million payoffs on the revamped prime-time version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. "I want it to be close and I want someone to have a shot, but I don't want too many people starring at that $10 million question," said Davies, executive producer of Super Millionaire. "My heart can't take it." For ABC executives, a different set of numbers — ratings — may be inducing insomnia. The Walt Disney Co.-owned network is lagging in viewership and looking to Millionaire for help once again. If the British-born quiz show repeats its late 1990s prime-time success for ABC, however, network executives swear they won't slip back into their disastrous Millionaire addiction "It if does well, I'm not going to resist bringing it back as a regular presence on the schedule, probably as a sweeps event," said ABC Entertainment Chairman Lloyd Braun, referring to the key ratings measurement periods that include February. The huge bounce that ABC got from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire starting in 1999 was followed by a hard landing. The show was on so often that audiences tired of it and, as ratings fell, ABC had little to replace it. "But we've made it clear we're going to have discipline in terms of how we schedule it," he said. "You're not going to see this series multiple times a week as a regular series. That's not going to happen." With new rules and bigger prizes — but the same dapper host, Regis Philibin - Super Millionaire will air at 8 p.m. Sunday and at 9 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The last prime-time version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire aired June 27, 2002. Braun was aware that bringing it back to ABC would again highlight the network's much-covered misstep. "There was no doubt in my mind it was going to do that," he said. "But at the end of the day I didn't care, because I felt it was the right thing to do for the network."

Aside from outlasting opponents on the scoreboard, fist-pumping, chest-bumping and an air of confidence must be part of the repertoire. "A lot of it has to do with the fact that we're playing at home, the fact that we had lost two straight," Langford said. "For us to have the best chance to win every time, our energy level is going to have to be there." Notes Fans Get Their "Wheaties" — When Baylor guard Carl Marshall fouled out late in the game, the fans in Allen Fieldhouse heard the "Wheaties" song from the band. The fans reacted with a loud ovation. Kansas coach Bill Self was amused as well. "Whoever did it I think deserves a raise," he said. ■ Crimson Crush — The Jayhawks doned their new red uniforms for the second time this season. The last game they were worn in was at Reno, Nev., against UC-Santa Barbara on Dec. 20. —Edited by Amanda Kim Stairrett KANSAS 74.

Padgett clocked a total of 13 minutes in Kansas' 74-54 victory. BAYLUR: Fans respect effort despite team's struggles through season CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7A undersized and undermanned Bears. "They just kept running guys in and out," senior center R.T. Guinn said. "We just kind of got fatigued out." Baylor first-year coach Scott Drew said the team should be judged on effort this season, something he has seen a great deal of so far. "We knew talent wise, depth wise — wins and losses wasn't a fair way to judge us," Drew said. Baylor host transfers join Lucas to Oklahoma State and Lawrence Roberts to Mississippi State. Both are in the running for their respective conference's Player of the Year award. "If they want to come back, that's all right," Drew joked after being asked if is his team had been dealt an unfair hand. But for the entire season Baylor has had no choice but to play with the players on their roster. The team isn't even allowed to play in the post-season because of NCAA sanctions stemming from last year. But that hasn't stopped them from trying to prove the experts wrong every game. "If they don't play hard it's not like I really have a lot of options," Drew said. "So it's a true testament to their character that they would want to play this hard for the team and their university." Kansas fans, who Drew praised after the game, seemed to appreciate the Baylor players, as the normal boos for opposing teams were at a minimum. conference and the rest of the country, his team has earned respect by being able to keep their composure. By winning games, and keeping others close, the respect has grown. Drew also said throughout the Thomas, who scored 15 points in the loss, said everyone who decided to stay through the rough time made the right choice. "We're winning no matter what," he said, "just by coming back." Red Lapon Tavern Red Lyon Tavern 944 Mass.832-8228 —Edited by Michelle Rodick BAMBINO'S BIG MONDAY AT BAMBINO'S! ALL-U-CAN-EAT PASTA!

Neither question is likely to be answered. However, Blind Date Bonanza presents the opportunity to do an in-depth report on the dating habits of two college students, Gina Posladek and Dennis Mersmann, the female and male, respectively. 5:15, Stauffer-Flint Hall, Kansan Newsroom Subjects arrive early for the courting session, a possible sign that both hope to make a good impression. The female attempts to entice the male by wearing a red shirt. The male attempts to entice the female with combed hair and clean clothes. Both subjects seem well matched for each other. Male and female both wear glasses and casual clothing. After much debate over who has the least messy car, the female agrees to drive. She takes on the more masculine role and opens the door for her potential partner. The male thumbs through her music collection, trying to gauge exactly what type of girl he is dating. Spotting several bands he enjoys, he settles on Weezer. As the screeching chords of "I'm Tired of Sex" begin, the female and male both find it difficult not to sing along with the band. Both recognize the song to be strangely appropriate for their dating session, but avoid conversation on this matter. 5:45, Paisano's Ristorante, 2112 W. 25th St. The male and female enter the restaurant. Following more traditional dating etiquette, the male subject holds open the door for the female. Upon entering the eating establishment, the couple surpasses all other reservations, much to the dismay of the dozens of couples waiting in the lounge area. After being seated at a candlelit table complete with a rose, the couple again attempts to avoid any awkward silences with filler conversations, such as, "What kind of music do you like?" or "Where do you live?" Other questions are asked in an attempt to find more common ground. Inquiry from the journalist leads to the discovery the two share such interests as the fondness for the television shows "Welcome Back, Cotter," and "The Wonder Years." Subjects also discover they participated in thesespl activities in high school. The experience seems to be extremely significant for the two.Journalist leaves to let the couple interact more naturally. Subjects seem to have grown more at ease with each other. An additional source is necessary to determine their comfort level. Journalist interviews the waitress, Chau Trinh, who considers herself able in spotting lack of chemistry between couples. She reveals that the two seem slightly skeptical of each other. She is unsure of the level of attraction between the two. 6:35, Paisano's Ristorante, romantic table in the corner. Setting is reminiscent of Lady and the Tramp. Couple has just finished their salads. Additional questioning by journalist is necessary. Female subject reveals that she enjoys male's sarcastic sense of humor which she considers to be "not a poop sense of humor." On a Jared Leto (the subject's ideal physical partner) scale, she believes that he's "way smarter than Jordan Catalano would ever be." Her physical interest in the subject remains questionable. When asked if she would kiss on the first date, she responds with, "I'm not that kind of girl," a comment often used by females to avoid physical contact. An interview with male reveals he finds her physical appearance very attractive. As far as personality, subject enjoys common interests such as theater, music and wearing glasses. He hasn't discovered any personality feature he dislikes. He says he won't mind if she isn't wearing days of the week underpants, a trait he originally said to be ideal. Male rates the date at an above average score of 7.5. When questioned about worrying he'd be a bad date, subject replied, "I've never screwed up a date, but I've never been under media scrutiny." Fair enough. Journalist takes the hint and leaves the two alone. 7:05. Paisano's Ristorante Couple finishes dinner. The male eats a hardy meal of steak and pasta. The girl chooses a spinach-artichoke ravioli. Both eat lots of bread. Although, the two have exceeded the amount they normally eat, they choose to order desert. Acceptance of free food at unnecessary times seems common amongst college students. Waiting for their dessert, the two continue discussion that seems to be free flowing. Both have overcome their nervous behavior. They then make additional plans to continue interaction without scientific observation. They decide to go to male subject's habitat to watch Lost in Translation. Both had plans to watch the movie alone before they knew they would be on the date. This seems to be a coincidence. Perhaps there is a possibility one lied to extend the evening plans. 7:30, Parking lot Couple leaves and continues date without inviting journalist. Journalist agrees only on the condition that both subjects call journalist with details of the date. Journalist receives telephone call from male subject. Male subject says he enjoyed "hanging out with her." He would definitely be interested in additional courtship. Subject looks forward to a possible date of watching Dazed and Confused. 10:11 p.m. And Later on Sunday... Journalist talks with female subject. With some prying, journalist discovered that no physical contact was made. It was not out of fear of Dennis's lip piercing. The female is interested in a date, saying, "Sure, why not?" when questioned. When further questioned about her physical attraction to the male, she replied, "I liked the fact that he was taller." Conclusions: Male and female have great potential for a friendship. A relationship could possibly develop. — Marissa Heffley can be reached at maheffley@kansan.com 4 Jupyter 2.10.04 204 COM-MANDER In Chief While the Internet doesn't define who will be the next president more and more candidates are using its resources to facilitate their election. [ ] By Cal Creek, Jayplay writer Illustration: Zac Newton Democratic candidate Howard Dean has raised more money on the Internet than any other presidential candidate in the history of the media. Wired magazine reported that former Democratic candidate Gen. Wesley Clark decided to run following an Internet-based push from several organizations trying to press him into the race, such as www.draftwesleyclark.com. And President George W. Bush has felt both the wrath and the mercy of the Internet with reelection Web sites and anti-Bush Web sites advocating his leave of office. With each year the Internet affects a new aspect of society. The Internet's latest societal development can be seen in the current race for the White House as various presidential candidates use online tools to promote their campaigns. Newspaper, TV and online media are converging, increasing the Internet's importance, says Phil Noble, founder of www.politicsonline.com. The Internet allows for more options than any other medium, such as reading articles, viewing video clips, volunteering or contributing money. "The Internet allows for more activity to be done in one place. You can get more accomplished," Noble says. For example, to help President Bush's reelection campaign Web site users fill out an information card at Bush's official reelection Web site, www.georgewbush.com. They are then given a list of tasks to do, such as writing letters to newspaper editors, recruiting friends to volunteer or helping to register voters. Noble's Web site, www.politicsonline.com, began in 1996 as a division of Noble's traditional campaign consultation. The Web site provides news regarding online politics, as well as tools and strategies for client political world. Produced in Charleston also does extensive living them Some of the tools available at www.politicsonline.com are a hot site of the week, a downloadable campaign manager program and the latest stories about online politics. Another Web site featuring a political theme is www.meetup.com. This Web site provides users with a global network of local venues, which helps people organize group gatherings. Supporters of the democratic candidates John Kerry, Clark and Dean have used the Web site to establish meetings with other supporters in their area. Users enter their zip code to find groups meeting in their area. After finding a group that interests them, Web users can vote on where the monthly meetings will be, get directions and view the agenda for the upcoming meeting. Noble says the big story of the 2004 race has been Dean's use of the Internet. Noble says Dean used the Paul Johnson, KU associate professor of political science, says he is unsure if Dean's use of the Internet has been significant. "We're starting to doubt he's actually raised money on the Internet that he couldn't raise in other forms," Johnson says. Even though more voices can be heard on the Internet, Johnson says people aren't necessarily listening to them, which was part of Dean's downfall. Internet as his organizational backbone, raising $40 million and 500,000 supporters. Until a few weeks ago, Noble thought Dean's success was an amazing story. "He used the Internet to go from nobody to the front-runner." Noble says. "He used the Internet to do new things." KU students have noticed the growing relationship between the Internet and politics. Justin McFarland, chairman of the KU College Republicans, has used the Internet to improve his own knowledge of politics and improve the College Republicans Web site. "It's a great way to volunteer and ask questions," the Lenexa junior says. McFarland says he thinks the Internet will someday replace TV and newspapers as the dominant medium in covering politics. "It has a greater potential. If you know where to look, you can learn a lot," he says. The KU Young Democrat's have also used online tools. The group has started a blog, says President Tom Keating, Marysville junior. A blog is a journal that is available on the Web. The KU Young Democrats have begun a dialogue with east-coast students through their blogs. Keating says the students have had a fun and interesting time talking politics with students from Brown University. Keating says he was impressed by Dean's prowess on the Internet and his use of www.meetup.com. During the week of the 2000 presidential election America Online, or AOL, set records in simultaneous member usage and number of member hours spent online. These records showed the growing usage of the Internet in the elections. The 2004 election will reveal the next step in that trend. Local support Three democratic candidate have gained an online following from the Web site www.meetup.com. Nationally, Kerry has 37,900 members; Clark, 66,900 members; and most notably, Howard Dean has 188,000 members. Supporters of the Democratic candidates Dunn and Dennis Kucinich have meet-up groups in Lawrence. If they remain in the race, you can vote on the locations of the meetings at www.meetup.com. >>Dean in 2004 - 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 3. >>Kucinich in 2004 - 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 4. — Cal Creek can be reached at ccreek@kansan.com.

There are jobs plentiful and the land is cheap...who knows, you could have discovered, become a movie star one. Life is good in Los Angeles; it's Earth. Ha ha ha...That's what they tell " beache stretch aplen could phillips would photo: Megan True ens, L.A. Confidential Mark Mackie, Lawrence resident, doesn't like to tell people he's an actor. He's tired of the snide comments and giggling reactions. Mackie, who left KU before graduating, beat the odds in L.A., but came back for his Kansas fiancé. Luckily this girl doesn't mind that he's an actor. His last girlfriend wasn't allowed to date him — her mother said he was a nice boy, but no good could come from dating an actor. It's the glitz. It's the glamour. It's the draw of bright lights, big city, the "Industry": our Mecca of stars, fame and fortune. Los Angeles calls to the film lover in all of us, but mostly from the safe comfort of our reclining theater chairs. We're here, they're there and the distance between dreams and reality is more than just miles. But there are a dedicated few ready to throw toothbrush, underwear and a treasured copy of Chinatown in a bag and make for the Hollvwood hills. Brad Combest, Fort Richardson, Ala., senior, knew early on he had to entertain. The understudy Santa Claus in his fourth-grade play, Combest saw the spotlight when the real Santa got sick and Combest performed his way into grade-school history. Since then, he's focused on directing and screenwriting and plans to draw on his classical antiquities major to create literary success. Combest (pictured) plans to leave for L.A. in August, but even success here is slow in coming. "I haven't finished anything yet," he says. "I'm really good at writing halfway through things." Every year, handfuls of KU students and graduates take the leap and head out to L.A. to follow a dream. They're writers, producers, directors and actors. They're ready to be successful, famous or just lucky. They'll toss off the doubts from family and friends and determinedly travel 1,592 miles, unsure whether they'll make it in the infamous film industry that sucks you in and spits you out. The stats play against them, but even struggling moviemakers from Kansas have help from home. The roulette is whether they can take the aid and still make it. Dara Barton, KU graduate, is living the L.A. life. She moved there alone and slept on the couch of a friend for the first few weeks. She found an apartment, a deal at $500 a month in West Hollywood, but a job is still a work in progress. She'd love to do film production work but also is open to acting and modeling. She confesses she has no idea what's protocol and orthodox to get a job in movies. The classifieds aren't much help either. "I looked in the L.A. Times for two hours today and couldn't find a single job for any work in the industry," she says. Until she lands a job in the movies, Barton does have work at Ralph's Grocery, a grocery chain in southern California. All of its current workers are on strike, so Barton could make up to $18 an hour. She says if this is what it takes to help her get by until her big break, she'll be more than happy to do it. --- No one says it's easy, especially not card-carrying SAG members. The Screen Actors Guild Web site says 90 percent of its members have to rely on income outside the acting profession for food and shelter. It's not caviar and a penthouse — it's Ramen and a roof. The Web site also suggests that actors train in another line of work in case reality is far less glamorous than the dream. But of course it's not just an actor's struggle, it's anyone wanting a job in movies. Matt Jacobson, associate professor of theater and film, says everyone's rolling the dice. "Anyone who gets to L.A. looking for work in front or behind the camera is taking a chance," he says So is it a fool's dream? Is it a one-in-a-million craptake before getting a real job? Not in the least, says you because you're from the Midwest or says, "The – that you're willing to walk away from everything and it." The level of commitment comes across when John Robert Powers Acting and Modeling School asks to go to L.A. to be high caliber," Storm says. "One make it, and its college kids who seem to want it."

Students are good at stair their way through the process of thinking of names and looking for opportunities that their names and ideas fit.

Jacobson would love stairtrails like motion-and-coming KU film students.

"It will be a — Morisa Stephenson can But for the resolutely L.A-bound, the city itself is more welcoming then you think, Mackie and Barton say. Barton says she thought L.A. would be all fakes and snobs. She's been surprised to learn she was wrong. While everyone she's met does seem to want film industry work, we've all been supportive and helpful, Barton says. Mackie says L.A. offered a share of opportunities outside of films, especially good to supplement his income when renting to round a side job at an insurance agency the first day he wentlooking. When Mackie goes out to dinner, he plans on shelling out for headshots. The $500 to $600 expense makes her very uneasy. "It's what you've got to have on you at all times," Mackie says. "Mackie can do nothing if you have to and be ready to hand them out to everybody knowing that Mackie will frequent extra on Boston Public." On one episode you actually see him in the face in the shot," he says, laughing. But the exact job paid only $50 a day and he knows next time he'll need to meet, schmoozes and ten forces. He isn't sure of the future in action, but that doesn't kill his passion that the man might not happen soon" he ever wanted to stop trying. She knows that Mackie hasn't known it's going to have a large amount of seen friends come back and know that he says he needs to make the sacrifices and not sell off his job. He wants to use the craziest theater that makes the three-word title, Pretty Things, almost all the time." Company agreed to have the say, and I'd rather it buoyance think good than just high school. Barton says that's easy to say in lawrence, and he holds onto it in L.A.-too. "I wouldn't believe five years of utter, miserable failure before I'd give up," he says. Barton thinks it takes a certain kind of person to make it in the "movie biz," and there was a point when she had to ask herself, "Is this real to me?" The answer was yes. BLM plans to use both help from Jacobson and KCONN to find her way in, and she's already got the determination down. "I'm planning on investing everything in this project says. "It will be a reality." — Maria Stephenson can be real. Tom Stephenson can be real. op received from stephensonGallery.com Looking for money?

From design programs in London to crocheting in Africa, she is one of several emerging fashion designers in the area with pieces that are not only edgy and eclectic, but simply said very cool. With designs appearing in fashion shows like Lawrence's own "Detour" and "Daydream" productions in the past year, she and other young designers have their work showing up in the Lawrence and Kansas City fashion scene and are making a very distinctive mark. Looking at Grater's creation of earrings made out of an innovative blend of feathers and recycled bangles, you would never suspect her to be a Kansas-raised girl who grew up on.a farm in Riley County. Her ascension into fashion design started when she studied metalsmithing at the University of Kansas. After a thorough design program in London, Grater began to skillfully develop her craft. Later in her career back in Kansas, Grater decided to take a step away from college life and make a bold move to live in Zambia, in Africa for a period of time. Working with HIV positive women in the community, Grater attended crocheting clubs and added another design concept to her growing list of talents.She was in fact able to sell some of the pieces back in Kansas and send the profits to the women in Africa. Impressed yet? After realizing that fashion was taking a prominent position in her life, the rest fell into place. Designing for a show put on by Headmasters Salon and then the "Daydream" show in September 2003, it occurred to Grater that she should start promoting her funky jewelry and conceptual designs of recycled fabrics. Angela Schulz is another fashion-minded (Spool is open Wednesday through Saturday from 12-7 p.m. Call 816-471-5927 for more information.) gal with an eye for mixing the past and present into her designs. One would never think of using an old license plate for a shirt and a hubcap for a skirt but that's just it what Schulz did in the "Daydream" show. Design started as a pastime and has since blossomed into a life-consuming hobby. "I love to express myself through creating things whether it be knitting, textiles or sewing," Schulz says. Her work is a "blend of the '70s to now" and resides mostly at home in the closet or on friends. Striving for individuality and expression, Schulz has a clear image of exactly what she wants and how to make it. "I would never walk into Urban Outfitters and spend $40 on a shirt when I can make the same thing myself," Schulz says. Must be nice. For two KU graduates, the "Daydream" fashion show has become a day-to-day reality. On Dec. 19, 2003, Hadley Johnson and Cobi Newton opened their own boutique featuring what else — their own designs. A hip clothing venue in an equally hip part of Kansas City, Spool is the product of the artistic vision and hard work of Johnson and Newton. After two years of participating in fashion shows and earning a steady stream of revenue from designs, the duo took their abilities and Kansas City connections and made Spool at 122 18th St., their new home away from home. The shop features Johnson's original silk-scräened t-shirts and modern, simple designs teamed with vintage patterns. Newton's specialties are her purses, paper handbags and elegant painting and coloring skills. Spool even features Grater's jewelry, more work by local artists and the L.A. based Breakdance America. With pocketbook friendly prices ($15 to $30) and a charismatic atmosphere, Johnson and Newton are eager to spread the buzz on Spool. "We work well together and living in Kansas City, something like this is possible. It's all we've ever wanted to do." Johnson says. — Lisa Picasso can be reached at Ipicasso@kansan.com. Jumping B&D.04 bitch + Moan Chris Tackett and Elizabeth Blasco [Better advice than your drunken roommate gives] 8A How do you know if a guy really likes you or is just trying to get sex? —Katherine, sophomore Chris: I think guys are ALWAYS trying to get late, whether they like you or not. If a guy is only looking for sex, you'll know by the fourth date. How? He won't be there. Elizabeth: I agree with Chris. Guys always have ulterior motives. If that's what you think he's after, don't give it to him and see if he sticks around. If he doesn't, you're better off anyway. QA I've had a crush on one of my good friends for years. Really she and her boyfriend have been having problems. She came to me for advice. Should I give her good advice or subtly tell her to break up with him? Brad, Junior Chris: If you like her you should tell her. Don't try to trick her or lie to her. If she's your friend and needs advice, give her good advice. Or just ignore her! Girls love that! Elizabeth: I'm thinking you should tell your friend that she deserves better than the problem-causing lowlife that she's currently dating. Also, tell her that she could get a better guy, like yourself (wink, wink). QA My girlfriend and I have been sleeping together for about two months, and it's been pretty good. But one of our mutual friends made a joke the other day about my girlfriend faking her orgasms. How can I be sure she's really having one? ---Bonny, freshman Elizabeth. It's likely that your friend was just being a smart ass. However, she may have been trying to clue you in. If she's faking, you can bet she's probably not 100 percent honest in other aspects of your relationship as well. --if you have burning questions, don't wait 'till they're flaming' Write to: bitch@kansan.com and we'll try to soothe the flare up Chris If she's faking, it's either because you suck and she wants you to stop, or she really cares about you and wants you to think you don't suck. You should try to figure out what gets her off. Try playing this game. Kise and massage different parts of her body and have her rate the sensation from one to 10. Then focus more time on the highest ranked spots. You can also just ask her what she wants you to do. for all markings paper denim&cloth JOBE'S JEANS 839 Massehusette Lawrence Ks 66044 785-843-8785 a new store within a store inside EASTON'S LTD. for all markind Ots for all meekind paperdenim&cloth citizens of humanity JOE'S JEANS AR ROCK & REPUBLIC Ginger & Maryanne 914 Massachusetts Lawrence Ks 06044 ph 942 5740 for all mankind for all mankind paperdenim&cloth citizens of humanity JOC'S JERAS AR ROCK & REPUBLIC citizens of humanity A Ginger MaryaNNe Rock‘n’ Roll Lawrence-based musicians in it for the passion – not the paycheck In a Lawrence music scene that is inundated with so many flavor-of-the-week bands, Billy Ebeling and Julia Peterson stand out as something different. Both love Ebeling realized this and within the last few years began to infuse other styles of music into his songs in an attempt to make his sound more contemporary. He hasn't strayed far from his bluesy sound, but has made the music fresher. "I'm always trying to step it up a notch," Ebeling says. "To take the music to a higher level." Both simply do what they do because they love it, regardless of pay or crowd-size. Neither aspires to be on the cover of Rolling Stone or on MTV's Total Request Live."It's really something I do to keep myself sane," Peterson says. "It's a release." For all their efforts though, the mainstream appeal for this type of music is not as high in a college town such as Lawrence as it would be for a more pop-oriented band. Ebeling's blues-based stories of life on the road and Peterson's folksy, alt-country ballads of love and loss, recall a time when music was more simple and pure. Photo: Sean Smith By Kevin Kampwirth Jayplaywriter 2013年1月18日 星期五 Hearts It's after 10 p.m. on a Sunday night when Billy Ebeling steps on stage at Harbour Lights, 1031 Massachusetts St. The background drone of a jukebox cuts out, emphasizing the hard-plastic crack of pool balls among the lull of about 15 people in the small, dim-lit bar. He looks out at the scene in front of him as he picks up a six-string acoustic guitar and puts on a harmonica rack. The small crowd applauds, briefly looking away from a football game on TV, as he goes into his first song. Ebeling's style borrows from blues, rockabilly, funk, zydeco, rock 'n' roll and alt-country, resulting in a unique sound, punctuated by his piercing harmonica and crisp, almost flawless, slide guitar. "It's a long way to the top," Ebeling sings in a smooth, Dylanesque drawl, "if you wanna rock 'n' roll." Ebeling isn't being prophetic when he says this. He's lived it firsthand for more than 20 years. Sunday's show would earn Ebeling $2 for every person who came into the bar that night. Ebeling often works like this, collecting the bar's cover as payment. As a result, he often finds himself living from gig to gig. "It's not the easiest job in the world," he says. "I find myself doing a lot of shopping at the Salvation Army because of it." But that's beside the point. He is a career musician, someone whose only source of income is from playing music. Ebeling has been a full-time musician since 1985, but has been playing in public since 1979. He attended the University of Kansas for a semester in the late 1970s, but dropped out when he realized he was wasting time and money. "It just wasn't for paid much to do it. "Most of the time, I play for the cover the bar collects," she says. "And for free drinks." Peterson, a Shawnee native, came to Lawrence seven years ago to attend the University as a voice major. While in school, Peterson played bass in a groove-rock band and decided that she liked it. After learning how to play guitar, she started writing her own songs. She realized after a short time that college wasn't for her, so she "graduated herself from school;" in essence, she dropped out. Peterson remained in Lawrence and worked as a bartender while continuing to write and play her own music, honing her style. To get her name out there, Peterson started out by opening for a friend's band. From there, she started to get her own gigs and started to make a name for herself. "It's really just something I fell into," Peterson says. "But it turned into so much more." --me," he says. "I knew by that point what I wanted to do." Although the love of music is what really drives them, Ebeling and Peterson still need to make enough money a week to live, which is hard, they say, because there are so many bands in Lawrence competing for gigs. With more than 100 Lawrence-area bands, the competition to get quality stage time is felt by both artists. Nicole Geist is manager of The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., one of the more sought after venues in town because of its reputation. Geist says that this year The Bottleneck plans to allot more stage time for local acts as compared to the touring acts that it is used to hosting. "If local Lawrence and in the Kansas City area. His wife, who he met nine years ago at a show in Lawrence, travels with him and acts as his accountant. They don't have children because, as he puts it, "I'd have to get a different job if I did." His road-weary, yet enlivened, songs act as a road map of his life. Whether he's playing guitar, harmonica, piano, accordion or organ, every song tells a story, and tells it candidly. Ten years from now, Peterson says she hopes to have released at least three more albums to follow her 2002 release Unrequited Love Songs. She says she would be happy simply playing music in Lawrence with the support of an underground following similar to that of Lucinda Williams, an artist to which Peterson's sound bears noticeable parallels. "I'm a small-town girl at heart," she says. "I don't think I could handle a big city." A solo player since the beginning of her career, Peterson recently decided to form a band. The Daveys made its debut in mid-December as one of the featured acts at a benefit show for the Douglas County AIDS Project at Teller's. The show happened to coincide with the first major snowfall of winter in Lawrence, but still, more than 150 people showed up to watch the concert. 100. 5-28806 She takes a long draw off a cigarette and chases it with a sip of Boulevard Pale Ale before heading onstage with her band. There's a hint of nervousness in her movements as she picks up a guitar "It's a long way to the top...If you wanna rock 'n' roll." Even during his time at the University, Ebeling often performed on campus and in downtown Lawrence as a street musician. In 1981, he moved to Phoenix along with his two brothers and decided to start a blues band. After writing some original songs, the band moved back to Lawrence in 1984 and recorded its first album as Billy Ebeling and the Late for Dinner Band. For an independently released effort, the album sold fairly well in Lawrence, Ebeling says. Ebeling embarked on a solo world tour shortly after this and spent the next few years in places such as New Zealand and Mexico. He was playing four to five gigs a week and garnered the attention of the record label EMI who signed him to a short-lived contract based on sales. Ebeling lived in Australia for seven years before coming back to Lawrence — this time for good. Julia Peterson sits over coffee in a small cafe. She chain-smokes cigarettes as she theorizes. "The more technical you get about music, the more muddled it gets," she says. "I try to keep it simple." Peterson, a 26-year-old singer/songwriter, is like Ebeling in that her passion resides in playing music. But, also like Ebeling, she doesn't get One of Ebeling's newer songs, "$100 town," describes the challenges he faces regarding this problem. He says that younger bands would play for a lot less, which decreases the amount he'll get paid for a show. bands aren't given a chance perform as readily, the local music scene would die out," she says. With anywhere from four to five shows a week — he plays with his band on weekends — Ebeling usually finds himself living off about $500 a week. Peterson bartends at Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St., in addition to performing so she has some extra income. "My bartending job is just so I have some consistent money coming in," Peterson says. "I don't want to be a bartender the rest of my life though." P. 103 After more than 20 years and 14 albums, Ebeling truly is a veteran in his line of work. He's seen the ups and downs that life as a musician in a band can entail. The idealism he once had to make it big seems to be waning a bit, but that hasn't slowed him down. Ebeling admits that he's had to make sacrifices for the life he chose, such as being on the road away from friends and family, but his music has always gotten him through it. These days, Ebeling mostly performs in and slings the strap over her shoulder, slightly anxious, she explains, about the first show with her new band. Her resignations fade noticeably, however, once the show starts. The band eases through six or seven songs as if it's been playing together for years before Peterson thanks everyone for coming and announces that the next song would be the band's last of the night. Blizzard-like conditions play out in the large windows behind her, but she doesn't seem to notice, as if existing in a world of her own. "I've given all I've got to give to this," she howls, almost pleading, as the song ends on a hard G chord. Peterson turns around and notices the weather. It still doesn't bother her. She knows that the storm will remain outside and, for right now, she's right where she wants to be. — Kevin Kampwirth can be reached at kkampwirth@kansan.com 00 Downhill Racer Hit the slopes with Lawrence's cadre of creative sled makers By Guillaume Doane, Jayplay writer Kansan photo T he atmosphere on the hillside behind the Campanile breathed the vibe of a typical day in Aspen. Flocks of folks united on blankets of snow, a group as spirited and diverse as the annual biker rally in Sturgis, S.D. The University cancelled classes at 1:30 p.m. on the afternoon of Feb. 5. By 3 p.m., about 200 people had charged the hill as if they were marching into battle. When coats of snow layer the ground during the winter, the University campus becomes the sledding haven for the student population. So as Kansas called off its classes, the masses joined to boast their vessels. Students say the most common and reliable sled is the traditional plastic sled, which can be bought at any local store such as Wal-Mart or Target for about $10 to $15. This sled offers admirable speed and a healthy dose of control, which are important to David Johanning Jr. The Lawrence resident ventured out to the hill behind the Campanile the night of the Super Bowl and rode his conventional plastic sled. One of his friends had brought an inner tube, and Johanning joined the ride until the tube lost control. "We tried to bail," Johanning says. "One of us got out and I didn't." He collided into a tree and suffered a concussion, an accident Johanning says he attributes to the lack of discipline a tube can offer. But the battle wounds could not tame his passion for the slopes. Johanning says he'll be back on the hills soon, just not on an inner tube. Other people sledding have a different outlook While sledding is a sport to some, for others it's a method of art using the snow as the canvas. Cullen Stephenson, Ponca City, Okla., senior, navigates a sled that paints the town red, literally. He attached a paint cartridge filled with hues of red and orange paint that sprays 25-foot rainbow strips down hillsides. "It's a joke on permanency," Stephenson says. "Snow in Kansas has a short life span. But tattoos are supposedly permanent. It's a joke within a fine arts context." boogieboard and even skis (one for each foot). Contributed photo Stephenson, or Lord Caviar as he is known to some in his "faux-rap" band, says he bought the sled on Ebay for $40. It took him four to five hours to build it with the help of the common shop at the Art and Design building. Stephenson says he plans to return to the hillsides, saying that he hasn't quite perfected his method. "I don't think I quite have it yet," he says. "It will resurface again." Holgerson's friend Marcin Korytkowski attributes deviance as the main objective of his course. "I have a passion for debauchery and a general disregard for law and common sense," Korytkowski, a senior from England, says as he describes his fervor for drunk sledding. Last week, Korytkowski and a couple friends headed out to sled planning to use a piece of cardboard as their craft. During the trip to the hill, he found a $10 bill on the ground of a parking lot and used it to buy a plastic sled from someone at the slope near Potter's Lake. Korytkowski and two of his friends wedged into the red vessel he named "the intimidator" with the intention to maximize speed and distance. They burned down the hillside and skidded across an icy Potter's Lake. When Korytkowski heard a crack, he says he told his crew not to move. They snuck to safety, but not without injury; Korytkowski's friend had broken a rib. Ronnie Davis and his friends take pride in drunken sledding. Their eyes gleam at the mere mention of it. "Sledding without beer is like macaroni without cheese," says Davis, a Hillsboro sophomore. He and his pals employ stolen lunch trays from Mrs. E's Cafeteria as sleds. The quintessential trays serve the function of sled, snow - Guillaume Doane can be reached at gdoane@kansan.com on the activity, employing a common college student philosophy: Do anything as long as it doesn't cost money. This mindset results in all sorts of sleds composed of objects typically found in trash cans, including the trash bag, trashcan lid and even the trashcan itself." We like to steal the big blue trash cans from campus." Matt Holgerson, Washington D.C., senior says. "They're raunchy but they're free." How to sled the hills like the college crowd: The philosophy of the University sled rider is to maximize enjoyment while minimizing cost. Here are some tips on what kind of items to use for cruising the slopes. — The trashcan bag, the lid and the trashcan itself: you can jump into a 20-gallon plastic trash can and roll down the hill. Use a 20-gallon plastic trash bag. Cut four holes in the sides for each of your limbs and wear the bag as a sled. Make sure the bag is wrapped tightly around your body. The plastic trashcan lid: spray the bottom with cooking oil or rub it down with wax. — The lunch tray from Mrs. E's Cafeteria: use the trays sitting down or employ two at a time as skis. The laundry basket, plastic floor-matting and cardboard: all unique interesting ideas but not effective. Use a plastic laundry basket large enough for you to fit your entire body.

Don't just pretend; really listen hard. Still can't hear it? All right, don't go running off for a Q-tip just yet. You'll hear it soon enough. It started as nothing six years ago; a faint hum heard by only a few devoted fans. But it started to grow. The hum slowly turned into a mild buzz. It grew even more. The buzz got louder. Listen. Still can't hear it? Now you're just not trying. The buzz, today, sounds more like a ticking clock on a time bomb waiting to hit zero, and it's damn close. Brace yourselves. The Lawrence hip-hop scene is about to explode. About six years ago, while still in its relative infancy, the hip-hop community in Lawrence was diminutive. There were only two or three artists that consistently performed in Lawrence. The Guild, made up of members Amen, Clever and Vertigone, were one of those. The three members of The Guild met by chance through a mutual friend and began free styling together in their dorm rooms. Their style started to develop and soon enough, they were performing in public. Vertigone, or Vert as he is known, says that basically, there was nothing when they started: only those couple groups and a few die-hard fans. So it began. Every year since then, the Lawrence scene grew. "It shifted from this secretive, underground type of thing to a more mainstream scene pretty quickly," Amen says. "The appeal for this type of music in a college town began to be recognized." The Pool Room, 925 Iowa St., began hosting live hiphop shows about two-and-a-half years ago. Aaron Sibler, manager at The Pool Room, says that the bar's involvement with the scene played a big part in bringing hip-hop to the forefront of the Lawrence music culture. The Pool Room quickly became the place for live hiphop in Lawrence as a fan base for the music continued to develop. Vert says that Lawrence became especially appeal ing because, in Kansas City, there aren't many venues that are willing to take chances on underground hip-hop. In Lawrence, on the other hand, all a group has to do is drop a couple of fliers and the shows will get packed. "It's hard to break through in Kansas City," Vert says. "In Lawrence, college kids will go to these shows just for something to do and then, hopefully, word of mouth will spread from there." Edwin Morales, a booking agent and tour manager for several local groups, is also co-founder of Downplay Productions, a company that promotes and produces hip-hop shows in Lawrence. He was around in the early days of the scene as well and says he notices just how much it's developed since then. Part of the reason for this, Morales says, is because the local artists today are starting to get the recognition they deserve and are getting their names out to the masses. With the influx of artists performing in Lawrence or Kansas City on any given day, the question of rivalries or competition among the groups is something that could be considered a concern. Not so. It's just the opposite in fact. Amen says that groups like his, along with the other groups that they came up with over the past few years, decided early on to cooperate with each other and back one another up. This camaraderie played a huge part in bringing Lawrence/Kansas City hip-hop to where it is today. In fact, the national recognition that many local acts are beginning to receive is a direct result of collaboration with one another. Yck Tick. 14 Journey 2019.04 BOMB See Lawrence hip-hop live on stage at: The Find CD Release Party Friday, Feb.20 The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. 18+,$5/$7 10 p.m. www.thefind.net As the Lawrence hip-hop community continues to come into its own, it's hard to avoid comparisons to other more prominent hip-hop cities throughout the country; places like St. Louis, Chicago and New York City come readily to the minds of many. These comparisons only cheat the Lawrence/Kansas City scene, though, says Morales. "We are what we are," Morales says. "To compare our community to one like New York City just defeats the purpose of progression." Morales says that the Lawrence scene needs to continue to develop on its own terms. He even avers that the Lawrence/Kansas City community could easily hold its own with places like New York City and Los Angeles and that Lawrence actually benefits from its underexposure because it gives the artists more creative freedom to develop their own styles. There are those who feel that the underexposure is harmful to the scene, though. Ensyght, another Kansas City based artist who recently changed his stage-name to Emisaree, says that because of their locations, Lawrence and Kansas City will continue to be overlooked. He recognizes, however, just how much the community has exploded in the 18 months he's been involved with it. So, where does Lawrence hip-hop really stand as of today? Well, just go to lawrencehiphop.com, the place to look for any information regarding hip-hop in Lawrence. The Web site currently lists 15 artists who perform locally. Check them out soon, though, because some are taking their acts national. Some have larger record labels knocking at their doors. Locally based emcee Mac Lethal, for example, just embarked on a 42-date nationwide tour. Others aren't far behind. "It's starting to happen," Vert says, almost prophetically. "People are getting their names out there and the groups that have come up over the past few years are going national. All I can say is don't miss the boat." Listen. D'you hear it yet? Tick, tick, tick... Stirring towards the Bottleneck last Friday evening a question crowded my head, can the matrix in good of Lawrence’s club scene generate an atmosphere pathetic to hip hop? Fortunately I should know to answer this question because I went to the “Nick” instead new lace of Project Groove, dumbo tongue活性 if candlelight, punctuated by balloon explosions, and on this night house to a dope universe bill bent on representing Kansas. Project Groove has come a long way from the psycho-lover’s rooftop stylings of The Post Room, but anything has remained consistent the office of associated acts like Brother Arthouse for hire 732 project projects that make Taktoi groove even more memorable. On top of all these Project Groove has just an important hand in elevating the vibrant thematic tap dance typified in the lineup for its second anniversary Friday. “Front the subterranian flow and propensity of Archetype to Bochamp’s show staging, freezes after his best CD got packed, arrives to Japes Deep spinning 70s rock at the evening’s noise the diversity of the surrounding scene was mingled represented. Not that this was anything but of the ordinary; some of the most memorable Project Groove experiences have been the CD release parties for the likes of local luminaries Deep Thinkers and Josh Flowers, whose soiree opened the reign of Project Groove at the Neck. “It was the local community who put us here, so it makes sense for us to give back,” says Jon Hahn, PH director for Downplay Productions and in turn, Project Groove. “People are starting to see what we’re trying to do, and Lawrence is getting recognized on a national level.” Local love issues, Project Groove has also filled a void that existed not only in Lawrence, but in the Midwest in general, the need to quench the thirst of the growing number of people who are invading growth and love hip-hop. The craft and artistic practice of bong-jig both known and underground acts dramatizes the country has called focus to center on Lawrence when talking about the Jazz in the Midwest. Nor ever mindless murkets like Chicago and Minneapolis have weekly night, a not experience of the Project Groove, and they struggle to bring the volume and quality of acts that cruse as fierce urban tensions begins. We try to book tours that have something to say. Not only will there be live performances, but I will me up hop at all, you can enjoy the skills of various engenhancements Hoor! Project Groove visions is not always about the music other Paris has set up with registration for the upcoming debut at Joan Project Groove events are in the works, as well as another school program dedicated to educating Hip-Hop in the various elements of hip hop such as Dabbing and DJing. But the right remains at the base of operations, and Project Groove stands only to become more than life in their new location. And where will two illustrious evening stars on its 5 year anniversary? We all want to be here forever, because it is some thing that we truly love? says Horn with a smile. As far as five years goes I see kids coming here from Chicago, Denver, Minnesota everywhere. Even see us hosting international DJ and b boy crews. We just want to keep having a Midwest mentality with a global vision. - Kevin Kampwirth can be reached at kkampwirth@kansan.com jouicy2010.04 --- 15 www.pipelineproductions.com COMING SOON AT THE BOTTLENECK 737 NEW HAMPSHIRE / LAWRENCE, KS THURS.

Big Shots, which was produced and pressed in 2003, is a compilation of rhymes by Charizma and Peanut Butter Wolf. The songs were originally created between 1991 and 1993, and they have the same flavor as tracks of the same era by classic hip-hop artists such as A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul. Remaining true to their roots, tracks on Big Shots have traditional hip-hop beats and lyrics that are a mix of social commentary and life experience. This disc is a refreshing change from today's hip-hop. It's a quality listen. Grade: A — Elizabeth Marvel, Jayplay writer and KJHK DJ 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.Sundays What's a band to do when its guitar player dies due to an overdose? Regroup three years later with an additional twentysome members and release an amazingly uplifting gospel-pop album. That's what the remaining members of Tripping Daisy did after guitarist Wes Berggren died. Say hello to The Polyphonic Spree! Boasting a ten-member choir, a pair of keyboardists, as well as a percussionist, bassist, guitarist, flautist, trumpeter, trombonist, violist, a French horn player, a theremin player and an electronic effects wizard, the band presents itself as a jubilee of stacked sound that would bring a tear to Brian Wilson's eye. Ten compositions fill the disc with such spiritual exuberance, it's sure to bring a smile to anyone who listens. The light orchestral rhythms and climactic pop melodies prove to be infectious. You'll be prancing around the room as if you were a cast member of Jesus Christ Superstar, or better yet, as if you were a costumed extra on stage with the Flaming Lips. Undoubtedly you've heard their first single "Light & Day" from the Volkswagen Beetle and iPod commercial. In short, The Polyphonic Spree delivers a much-needed holy rock revival amidst today's dime pop radio singles. dayplay2019.06 Grade: A — Nick Ray, Host of "Cultural Coitus" Midnight to 2 a.m. Wednesdays Savath & Savalas Apropa't There must be a grotto in a closed-off alleyway not too far away where all the Type-A musicians get together to drink and let their less attractive incarnations take hold. And in a cloud of smoke, grasping a tumbler of sangria and mumbling nonsensically between the languages of Catalan and computer sits Scott Herren. He's having the crisis, feeling the walls. "I know," smirks he. "I'll make an album where all the melodies are more or less indistinguishable from each other, yet relentlessly and sharply cool." (Traces a finger on the dusty table: "Need female vocals.") He sighs then, and knows that sometimes even left turns can't be praised for their aims. And Apropa't, an enigma wrapped in indifference wrapped in Fort Knox, does little to change this. It's the perfect soundtrack to a party where most people are talking too loud for music to matter. Grade: C - Phil Torpey, Host of "Breakfast for Beatlovers" 9 a.m. to noon Tuesdays 18 Kid 606 Kill Sound Before Sound Kills You This album is hardcore. It's like the hangover from a really crazy rave. In saying that, does it mean it is good, or bad? The Venezuelan-born Miguel Depedro, Kid 606, has done amazing things in the past. His crazy, experimental beats are anywhere from confusing to bad to beautiful. But, like everyone, he has some guilty pleasures. This album is one of them. Kill Sound Before Sound Kills You is all of these things and more. Some of the tracks are pulse-pounding jungle mixes that would fit right into a local mainstream dance club or rave, while others show the more abstract side of Kid 606 still hardcore, but not so "clubber" friendly. Those club aspects are things like relentlessly pounding bass, the sound of handclaps and, of course, the distorted sample of the person in the background ordering the DJ to turn up the beat. In the end, the album is fun and interesting, but not mainstream enough to be enjoyed by everyone, unless hardcore club music or experimental jungle/house is your thing. Grade: C+ — Collin LaJoie, KJHK DJ 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays REALITY CHECK A Illustration: Scott Drummond By Ashley Marriott Jayplay writer I gripped the steering wheel and absentmindedly watched the windshield wipers methodically sweep off the cold January rain. My friend and I were on our way to volunteer at a soup kitchen in downtown Kansas City area, and I didn't know quite what to expect. We were naive 16-year-olds from Johnson County. We lived in the part of town where the only difference between the houses was the color of the front door, people didn't realize crime was a concern and SUVs dominated the roadways. If you went farther north than Oak Park Mall you were considered really far away from home. I slowly turned into the church parking lot where we were meeting a volunteer who would take us downtown. I climbed into the backseat of her car, and over the loud groans of a car without a muffler I listened to "Horror Stories of a Soup Kitchen." "The first rule of the kitchen is never let the visitors leave the premises with uneaten food," the volunteer explained. "They will try to save it for later, sell it for drugs or hide it so they can come back for more. There are police officers around the line in case a fight breaks out. On an average day a fight or two occurs." She said we would also encounter prostitutes, drug dealers and those who just need a friend to talk to, not the food. Like these are normal day occurrences in upper-middle class suburbia. I guess I had never thought this would be a job that could potentially be dangerous. I was beginning to get worried about what I had gotten myself into. As we prepared the kitchen for our guests, an assortment of people began to line up at the door. When we opened to the public a short hour later, the line was out the door, forcing people to stand out in the frigid air. Families with seven children, lonesome widows looking for a conversation starter, hungry children without guardians and the elderly who could barely walk flooded the line, each thanking us for their one properly cooked meal of the day, or several days. As I stood at the end of the line filling juice cups, a woman approached me. As she did she whispered the words, "God bless you for doing this for me." Although words were forming in my head my breath caught in my throat, forcing me to be silent. I felt less like a volunteer who was there just to fulfill some National Honor's Society hours and more like a friend. I wasn't there to just provide everyone with a chicken-fried steak and some mashed potatoes. I returned several times to the kitchen. I became the patient listener that didn't judge. Five years later the woman's words are still deeply etched into my mind. As students we get so caught up in the day-to-day that we forget what is most important. For many, life is so much more complicated than finals, finding a date and deciding where to go for dinner. For some, that dinner would be the highlight of the day. — Ashley Marriott can be reached at amarriot@kansan.com. 2.10.04 Jauplou 19 1 Weekly Specials @ Kansan.com Thu Fri Sat Sun Mon Tues Wed Buffalo Bottleneck $1 Shot Special 75¢ Draws $2.50 Double Wells $1 Shot Special $1 Wells $2.25 Domestic Bottles $1 Shot Special $3 Red Bull & Vodka $1.50 Draws $2.25 Wells $1 off all Imports $1 Shot Special $2 Bottle Special $1 Shot Special $2 Bottle Special $1.50 Anything $2 Double Anything $3 Pitchers $2 Wells $2.25 Longnecks $1.50 Shots $1.75 Wells $1 Domestic Drafts 1/2 Price Apps after 9 p.m. $2.50 Captain Morgan Pasta Night $7.25 Fajita Night $3 Red Bull Calls $4 Red Bull Doubles $2.50 All Beer Bottles $2.50 Black & Tans $2 Off Steaks $2.50 Coronas, Corona Lights, Margaritas 75¢ Tacos $3.50 Taco Salads 2 for 1 Burger Baskets after 6 p.m. $2.50 Domestic Gustos Rib Night $2 Rolling Rock & Green Rock Light 1/2 Price Apps after 8 p.m. 25¢ Wings after 6 p.m. $2.25 Domestic Bottles $2 Pitchers $3 Double Red Bull Vodkas 18+ with College ID $2 Coronas $2.50 Triple Wells No Cover 21+ 18+ with College ID $1.50 All Shots $2 All Bottles No Cover 21+ 18+ with College ID 2 for 1 Wells & Domestic Pints No Cover 21+ 18+ with College ID Brody Buster Band $3 23 oz.

Kathleen Sebelius' proposed budget. Yesterday at the Board of Regents meeting in Topeka, John O'Hara, Kansas State University student body president, presented a resolution written by the Students' Advisory Committee that supported the intent of the budget, but not the methods of reallocating money. The Students' Advisory Committee is a subcommittee of the Regents composed of the student body presidents and student legislative directors of all six Regents universities in Kansas. According to Gov. Sebelius' budget proposal, fee-based programs such as the Department of Student Housing and Watkins Memorial Health Center might face budget cuts. The money from these programs would be used for university faculty and staff salary increases. In order to compensate for the budget cuts in the programs, Gov. Sebelius suggested what the Committee called a tax on students. The Committee also asked for Gov. Sebelius and fellow state leaders to never use student fees and tuition to pay for the fee-based programs. Ryan Faulconer, a member of the committee that wrote the resolution, said the committee said using money from student fees to make up for the proposed gap in state funding was "blatantly unacceptable." The Regents said the resolution was "very well done" and encouraged the committee to send it to every state legislator. O'Hara said five of the six Regents universities had passed similar resolutions in their student senates. He said Emporia State planned to pass a resolution concerning the proposed budget this week. Faulconer said it was good to know that the other Regents universities supported the University of Kansas resolution. The University of Kansas was the first to pass such a resolution on Feb. 4. "We're all in it together." Faulconer said. "It's stronger than just one university."

Election goal unfulfilled Coalition working to create new position By Andy Marso amarso@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Editor's note: Every Friday The University Daily Kansan will review one of the past platform's of Platforms in action Student Senate coalitions to update readers on how the programs have progressed. This is the fourth article in the series. Next week, the Kansan will look at Delta Force's recycling in residence halls platform. As the former men's outreach coordinator at the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, Travis Weller became familiar with the damage that sexual assault can do. "I have friends who are survivors." Weller, Garden City senior, said. "I don't think it's an issue that's addressed on campus very often." So, when Weller decided to run for Senate with Delta Force last year, he made sure one of the coalition's platform issues was to expand the University of Kansas' sexual-assault prevention services. A year later, the University has one part-time employee to address sexual-assault prevention and education — but Weller thinks it needs at least one full-time employee, if not more. Weller researched other universities and found that most of similar size to the University had at least one full-time position. Among the universities Weller researched were Kansas State, University of Colorado and University of Iowa. With that in mind, Weller and Delta Force vice presidential candidate Fallon Farokhi proposed using money from the tuition increases to fund a full-time sexual-assault-prevention employee at the University. "It was one of the big selling points of our campaign," Farokhi said. "Some people didn't know we even had sexual assault prevention services." SEE ELECTION ON PAGE 8A Voting irrelevant for students Focus is on 'service politics' By Ron Knox rknox@kansan.com kansan staff writer When college students get involved in politics, they volunteer, work in their communities and protest politics and policies. The New Student Politics, a study on student civic engagement comprised of 33 students from 27 colleges and universities, found that voting is often irrelevant for college students' political involvement. But they don't show up at the polls at election day. This study was based on information provided by Campus Compact, a nationwide organization of university presidents that aims to get students involved in politics. The study also reports that instead, students are more actively involved in what the statement calls "service politics," politics that emphasize "People are getting involved in politics for their own reasons, not just because they feel a duty to vote," said Sarah Long, author of The New Student Politics statement, at a Campus Compact conference yesterday. community involvement rather than traditional civic service, including voting and lobbving legislators. Several other groups reported similar information, illustrating a trend among college students around the country. According to a Harvard University Survey, 60 percent of college students have been involved in community service in the past year. But according to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 32 percent of 18- to 25-year-olds voted in the 2000 presidential election.

Majerle went to the teleconference because it was part of her Freshman Honors tutorial class. Meeting empowers members of BSU By Jodie Kraftt jkraftt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Daniels said the conference was an opportunity for students to step into leadership roles on black student government. A year of planning and fundraising should pay off for members of the Black Student Union who traveled to Manhattan yesterday for a Big 12 conference, said Tony Daniels, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs. "These students get to see more student leaders that are African-American like themselves," Daniels said. "They get to talk about social issues, converse and share experiences." "I'm eager to have the students feel the energy of being around other students like themselves," she said. In addition to empowerment, one purpose of the conference is to bring students together to network and share ideas, said Santos Nuñez, adviser for the organization. Thirty Black Student Union members are attending the conference called "Empowerment: Learning From Our Past to Conquer Our Future," a three-day event hosted by Kansas State University. Leadership and inclusiveness are also important ideas for students to take away from the conference, said Robert Page Jr., director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs. Page will speak tomorrow on leadership and the importance of Big 12 council schools working together with smaller, non-Big 12 universities. Page said 1,100 students from 48 schools were attending the conference. Renita Norman, Topeka junior, said she went to the conference as a freshman and sophomore and liked making contacts and getting moral support from other students. "It's great to be around so many African American students who are trying to do something with their lives." Norman said Students attending the conference can attend workshops, speeches and social events. The executive board of the Big 12 council will meet to discuss new legislation and ways to improve black student unions across the Big 12 area. One piece of legislation proposed would implement a state caucus for non-Big 12 schools, said Mark Dupree, Big 12 council president. "It would bring more black collegates together," the Kansas City, Kan, senior, said. Trey Allen, president of the Black Student Union, said he wanted communication between students at the conference to result in more ideas and events for the organization. "We're hoping to expand on what we do for our general assembly as a whole," the Wichita sophomore said. "We want to keep people coming back after the conference." Allen said schools within the Big 12 council were willing to support each other, despite competition. He said the organization worked to get various sponsors to bring in more money for Kansas State to host the conference. Each year, the conference location rotates among the nine schools in the Big 12 council. The University hosted the 2001 conference and hosts again in 2009.

Ruth Lichtwardt, president of the organization, said homosexuals deserved minority status because they were discriminated against as a group and could not choose their sexual preference. 25 years ago in the Kansan Staff Reporter Patricia Manson wrote about the controversy of a proposed bill benefiting home renters. Jack Brand, a lobbyist for the Lawrence Apartment Owners Association, said, "A bill that would allow tenants to deduct the cost of home repairs from their rent would force landlords to raise their prices." A proponent of the bill said it would encourage owners to settle disputes with tenants quickly. 75 years ago in the Kansan The Kansan reported on an "old time party" to take place in the Union building.

"When you get six or eight hundred students together in such a Union it means that many voters. And what cannot such an organization of earnest voters do before the legislature at the University," Fisher said.

State law requires all children under 4 to ride in special safety seats and any child from 4 through 13 to wear seat belts. The Senate approved the measure on a 27-12 vote yesterday. The bill would require children aged 4 through 7 to ride in special booster seats if they weigh 80 pounds or less or are 4-foot-9 or shorter. All other passengers under 18 would have to wear seat belts. Also, the bill would increase the fine for violating the child passenger safety law to $60 from $20.

Growing up on a military base, she was always known as a lieutenant colonel's daughter. "People would know I was so-and-so's daughter and start kissing my ass," Butel said "It was weird. I would wonder, 'What do you think I'm going to do for you?' Butel, Washington, D.C. freshman, has moved nine times in her life and lived in 13 houses. She has lived all over the United States and in Germany and Japan. After moving with her parents around the world and living on military bases all her life, Butel finds herself alone on a college campus with her parents on the other side of the globe. Butel's parents are stationed in Japan, while she takes on her first year at the University of Kansas. before college in Japan and was planning to stay and take online courses through a university in Maryland. By the end of the summer she decided it was time to leave life on the military base and be her own person. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Butel's brother graduated from the University and she has family in Kansas, so coming to Lawrence was an obvious choice. situation well "I get to go home and see my parents all the time, so I thought it would suck for her," Loredo said. "It's a trade-off because she gets to go visit them in really cool places." Butel said she spent the summer Catherine Butel, Washington, D.C., freshman, has lived all over the world because she comes from a military family. Butel spent her winter vacation in Japan with her parents, who live there. Moving again — this time for college — was second nature for Butel. She said moving constantly as a child made her more adaptable to new environments. Butel talks to her parents every other day on the phone and has not had much trouble adjusting to being so far from them. Although she considered it difficult to constantly uproot and reestablish herself, she said the upside was seeing places around the world she would have never seen. "Getting to know people is not that hard for me,"she said. "I love going to parties and talking to random people." Megan True/Kansan family Rutel Jessie Loredo, Shawnee freshman and Butel's roommate, said Butel had an easier time meeting new people and had handled her There are a few things Butel won't miss from military base life; the dreariness and the cheesy pick up lines of the American G.I.s. "Left, right and center you'd see them checking you out," she said. The worst line she heard was in response to a T-shirt she was wearing that said "Lifeguard" on it. A G.I. asked if she was a lifeguard, and then told her "Because if you were, I need some saving." Butel said by the time she looked of-age, she would get hiton all the time. At the gym, the men from the base would try to look bulkier and impress her. "It was a supply and demand issue," she said. "The male-female ratio wasn't that good for them." Butel is ready for life on her own, away from the base and the pick-up lines. But the constant moving has given her a habit she can't let go of. In her purse she has kept earplugs, airline sugar, matches and more than one complimentary sewing kit from places she has traveled. She said it was a comfort mechanism to keep the memories from seeing so many places and losing touch with so many friends. At college, Butel hopes to finally create her own identity and keep contact with her friends. another move. "I figure you always meet somebody new," she said.

Jackson Asian Festival to celebrate culture through creativity By Marc Ingber mingber@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Next week, Midwestern students will be able to experience a piece of the far East by attending the annual Asian Festival. The festival, which features events on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday of next week, will not necessarily resemble last year's extravaganza. The Asian-American Student Union tried to schedule events that showcased Asian creativity more than the festival has in past years said Anna Kowalewski, Overland Park junior and Asian-American Student Union president.

John Tran External vice president for the Asian- American Student Union The Asian-American Student Union is trying to bring Asian culture to students. "The stereotypes of Asians are that they are just purely all about academics and just study math and science," she said. "But Asians are multifaceted people who can also be creative." "It is always difficult for people to go out and seek insight and knowledge of a different culture," John Tran, Overland Park senior and external vice president for the Asian-American Student Union, said. "But it makes it a whole lot easier when the experience comes to them."

Cultural game day will be Thursday afternoon in the Kansas Union lobby, and the Filipino Dance Group, Sinagtala Dance, will perform that evening at the Kansas Room. All of the week's events culminate at Saturday's Taste of Asia banquet. Tran said he expected 250 to 300 people to attend. The dinner will be a buffet-style schmorgasbord of traditional Asian dishes including bulgolgi, a Korean beef dish, pho, a Vietnamese noodle dish, and sushi. They will be prepared by Asian groups such as the Japanese Student Association, the Korean Student Association and the Vietnamese Student Association.

Boy er, you may make a good sidekick, but I'M the one who LOOKS presidential STINGSON DAILY KANSAH © 2014 EDWARDS KERRY Henry C. Jackson opinion@hansan.com To be sure, Kerry has an exceptional resume. He has foreign policy experience. (Have you seen him roll out a Vietnam veteran yet? Wisconsin just did.) He has substantial legislative experience. (But try finding a rel- vant piece of legislation he's shepherded.) And, well, he's not going to get all angry like that meany Howard Dean and hoot and holler. (Or, you know, change his tone at all during a speech). It's time, Kansans, Democrats, anybody who's tired of the tyrannical Texan using White House stationery, to ignore the Massachusetts senator's drumbeat toward nomination. He's too wooden, too vanilla. Ladies and gentlemen, may North Carolina present John Edwards for your nomination. Beyond cosmetics, there's also a geographic reality check. Kerry, all jokes aside, might be an accomplished legislator and politician. But he is an accomplished New England legislator and Kerry's public speaking is, comparatively, plodding. When he walked to the podium after winning the Iowa caucuses and dully thanked Iowa voters for making him the "Comeback Kerry," you could almost see his speechwriters high-fiving behind the scenes. (Sorry guys, Bill Clinton used the Comeback insert-noun here construction in New Hampshire 12 years ago. And it was better.) With deceptively boyish looks — he's actually 50 — Edwards is the anti-Kerry. He's naturally charismatic: When he gives his stump speech, an elegant appeal to bring millions of Americans out of poverty, he smiles, incorporates extemporaneous thoughts and works his audience. Edwards demonstrated his ability to pull the Southern vote earlier this month and last month by winning in South Carolina and placing a strong second in Oklahoma, Tennessee and Virginia. politician. In politics, the term "New England liberal" is a slur, as George H.W. Bush taught Michael Dakikas in 1988. The last successful Democratic candidate from the Northeast was John F. Kennedy in 1960. Times have changed since then. To beat President Bush - and all other election goals must come secondary this election - a candidate needs to be able to be able to chip away at the typically Republican South. Because Northeastern states tend to fall neatly to Democrats in presidential elections, it makes sense to pick someone with a broad Southern appeal. Taking chunks of the "Southern L," as these states are referred to, isn't just important, it's imperative to taking the White House back. Edwards, born in South Carolina to a mill worker, is a candidate who can maintain credibility with middle-class Southern voters, a demographic Democrats covet. Zach Stinson for The University Daily Kansan Certainly, there are knocks on the first term senator. His lack of extensive political experience, for example, would surely come up if he secured the nomination. But Edwards' record, first as a brilliant trial lawyer and then as an active, well-respected freshman senator, isn't any worse than the credentials President Bush had when he was elected. (One term governor and...uh...part-owner of Major League Baseball's Texas Rangers.) Unlike the president, whose father made him a household name, Edwards, with a less-heralded reputation, will have to work harder to gain respect, and it may take the country a while to "get to know him." But, as he showed in Iowa and Wisconsin by performing much better than expected and winning the endorsements of the states' biggest newspapers, Edwards can develop a fan base quickly. Given the alternative — and considering the relative success of northeastern Democrats in presidential elections — Democrats should consider Edwards, if, as they say, "electability" is the buzzword of this primary season.

Jeff Allmon's column on the evolution of Student Senate coalitions, in particular Delta Force, is rife with baseless stereotyping and revisionist history. Allmon, an unacknowledged KUnited groupie himself, desperately attempts to marginalize Delta Force through repeated references to its supposed "radical" past. Using words and phrases such as "hippie," "leftist," "freedom fighter," and "hell bent on revolution," Allmon attempts to paint an unflattering picture with broad strokes and flung mud. Well I was there, I'm not buying it, and your readers shouldn't either. So, as John Kerrv savs. "bring it on." If fall break, expanded student organization space, more campus email terminals, a new childcare center, residence hall polling sites, and freshman elections are "radical," it's no wonder Allmon is disappointed in the performance of the Senate that has been controlled by his buddies the past couple of years. Clearly, there is and always will be a need for positive student-led change at the University of Kansas.

MUSIC OF MY MIND Death of Aborigine in Australia telling reflects racism still plaguing America "I get down for my grandfather, who took my mama/made her sit in that seat where white folks ain't want us to eat./At the tender age of 6, she was arrested for the sit-ins/And with that in my blood, I was born to be different/Now n — can't make it to ballots to choose leadership/But we can make it to Jacob's and to the dealership/Swear I hear new music and I just don't be feelin' it./Racism's still alive, just be concealin' it... — Kanye West, Never Let Me Down from the 2004 album, The College Dropout Monday morning I woke up to news of Thomas Hickey, a 17-year-old Aborigine and resident of Sydney, Australia's Redfern neighborhood, who fell off his bicycle on Saturday and died as a result of his injuries in a hospital the next day. In Hickey's neighborhood, as well as in other parts of Australia, clashes between police and Aborigines are frequent. Worse than the police problem, though, are the living conditions. Hickey's area of Redfern, a section called "The Block," is located minutes away from the upscale neighborhoods of Sydney from the gentrified urban core. "The Block," a deteriorating neighborhood populated principally by Aborigines, stands in sharp contrast to its surroundings and is one of the clearest symbols of the Aboriginal inequality COMMENTARY Cornelius Minor opinion@kansan.com 1 At the time of his passing, it was speculated that he had been chased to his death by the police. To be black is to watch others as they are carried by their privilege to good schools and better jobs. that has persisted in Australia since Aborigines were chased from their lands when European settlers started arriving in 1788. As news of Hickey's death spread, the anger and frustration with which Redfern residents live every day swelled to riotous proportions, and for nine hours after Hickey's passing, that portion of the city became a battleground. Groups of people battled the police, and in the end, 40 officers were wounded and the Redfern train station was torched. Ill treatment for 216 years has a way of weighing down on folks. Though not many people on this side of the ocean picked up on the news, reading about the incident left me with a familiar feeling that I am still struggling to articulate. I thought about the people all over the world who live on third world islands nestled in the oceans of opulence and excess represented by first world cities. The news report was about Sydney, but in it I recognized Minneapolis, Minn., St. Louis and San Francisco. As Black History Month comes to a close and as I reflect on the varied experiences of black folks in America, I think about what our countless years of struggle have meant. For me, to be black in America is to watch people with an furious glare as they see Hickey across the ocean and talk about how bad colonialism and racism are "over there." To be black is to blink back warm tears from the anger of knowing that the racial tensions that boiled over in Hickey's neighborhood simmer daily in New York, Kansas City, Kan. and Atlanta. To be black, for me, is to be intimately connected to the type of community that produced Hickey. It is to understand that sometimes those two states of knowing can occupy the same geographic space. To be black is to know the realities that my people face in neighborhoods all over this country and to live simultaneously among the kind of folks who seem to celebrate their ignorance of those conditions. To be black is to watch others as they are carried by their privilege to good schools and better jobs. It is to bear your history and to be reminded of it each As I lived and worked this week, I thought about the message that is silently communicated as inequalities persist. Our humanity is violated each morning when a child attends an under-equipped school, and when adults work more than 40 hours and don't even earn enough to live above poverty. For me, being black is recognizing that these issues are bigger than race. It is knowing that when it comes to policy and statute, these are issues of class, but we can't have that conversation, because nobody is ready for a poor people's revolution. It is realizing that in law and in practice, our lives are still worthless. time you see yourself through the eyes of other folks as threatening, exotic or less than human. To have that confirmed by the police in violent incident after incident is too much to bear. But we do it, because, to be black is ultimately to carry the death of Hickey and thousands of other dead brothers and sisters on your shoulder. It is knowing, seeing and living that burdensome reality on a regular basis mastering the art of swallowing it all masking it behind a smile, artistic expression or silence. For me, to be black is to know that there is something fundamentally wrong with celebrating our progress without working for continued change.

Maybe so. Fans of smoky meat could be in for a Massachusetts Street treat in two months. Vermont St. BBQ, currently at 805 Vermont St., is expected to pack its bags, buns and barbecue across the street to set up shop on Massachusetts Street. The restaurant will occupy the vacancy left by Paradise Cafe, 728 Massachusetts St. The cafe closed its doors in January. Vermont St. BBQ's move is still pending with the lease, but coowner Shad Woodworth said the business should be open in six to eight weeks. Customers at the current location can expect to find the restaurant to be mostly the same, with a few additions. The restaurant will keep the same name, perhaps adding "On Mass. Street" at the end. The move will make business more complicated, he said, but potentially more profitable. The new location will give customers the opportunity for the first time to eat their meal inside the restaurant. The current location offers only carry-out and free delivery. "People are begging for us to have a sit down area," Woodworth said. The addition of a seating area will force Woodworth to hire a full server staff making the business more expensive to run. Woodworth plans to open a full bar and wants to have local live music acts perform. He hopes these additions will broaden the scope of his business and increase the number of customers. The new restaurant should not have much trouble securing a liquor license since the Massachusetts Street building its moving into includes a "grandfathered" liquor permit. The restaurant will have some trouble with other aspects of its new location. The cost of the property will be higher at Massachusetts Street than Vermont Street. In addition, the restaurant will become part of the parking battle many other downtown businesses already encounter. Woodworth said parking would pose difficulty for carryout, a staple of the restaurant's current business. He said he was hopeful that sit-down seating and continued free delivery would counteract any decline or difficulty in carry-out business. Longtime customer Jarod Kastning, Lawrence senior, said he thought a bar and a seating area would make great additions to the restaurant. "It will be nice to be able to sit down and have a meal and beer," Kastning said. Despite having to hire a full staff of servers and bartenders, as well as additional costs of running the business, Woodworth said menu prices should remain approximately the same. Prices will be more sensitive to the meat market rather than the change of location. — Edited by Henry C. Jackson Women work to help the pregnant By Matt Rodriguez mdrroiguez@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Three women came together in a literary fashion with the help of a philanthropist to change lives of pregnant women. Ginger Breedlove, along with Rachel Abramson and Beth Issacs, received a publishing contract from Zero to Three Press and a $10,000 prize. Out of 30 proposals, their book The Community-Based Doula: Reclaiming Birth, Empowering Families was among the three chosen recipients and will reach shelves by December 2005. The three of them have been working on this project since 1996. The proposals were selected based on the compelling and unique contribution it would make to the infant-family field, according to Zero to Three Press. Breedlove helps pregnant women find the help they need for a better future as the director of the nurse midwifery program at the University of Kansas School of Nursing. The book describes how a program in Chicago connects pregnant teens with trained women of their community, called doulas. A doula can offer a pregnant women support from the beginning of the process through birth and even post-partum, in areas such as emotional and physical support. "Choosing your doula practitioner and birthplace is as important as choosing the place and person you want to marry," said Brenda Frankenfeld, member of Heartland Doulas in Lawrence. Frankentend has served as a doula for six years. She said emotional support is the foundation for a meaningful relationship between the doula and their client. Teresa Price, Lawrence resident, is working with Frankenfeld for the first time on her third pregnancy. Price decided to use a doula for this pregnancy because she thought Frankenfeld could offer her more support than a physician could. stronger relationship than I would have with with just a doctor," Price said. "Doctors can be very busy and a doula can offer me support if my doctor is unavailable." "I feel more comfortable with with a 'boulda' because we have a Frankenfeld said working with a doctor through the birth process was important in ensuring a healthy birth. She said a doula helped to create a cohesive bond between the doctor, the mother and their self. There needs to be a strong level of communication between the doctor and everyone involved with the birth, said John Calkins, chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Kansas Hospital. "It's like a two way road where you need communication in both directions." Calkins said Calkins said there was no question the doulas could be helpful to the physicians. Often a doctor is trying to help more than one patient's delivery at a time. There needs to be a level of trust between everybody involved, Calkins said. Breedlove advocates using more community-based healthcare to build this trust and go beyond the typical nurse/patient relationship. "If we have ethnic similarities, we see a difference in the quality of attention a pregnant mom will see," Breedlove said. In addition to empowering the communities, the doula program would also encourage some women to go further in the medical field. Breedlove said some of the recruits in Chicago did not have a high school degree but the program allowed them to see their true potential. She is planning to start a program similar to Chicago's in communities with a high teen pregnancy rate such as Jackson and Wyandotte counties. But because of a lack of funding, the program is being placed on the back burner. "The interest is there," Breedlove said, "we just lack the funding we need to get the program started." By J.T. Mitchum jmitchum@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Low-carb tag not FDA regulated — Edited by Henry C. Jackson That low-carb, carb-smart and smart-carb labeling may not be telling the truth. The Grocery Manufacturers of America submitted a request to the Food and Drug Administration asking it to set legal requirements for foods that claim low carbohydrate levels. "Basically, one food could have 20 grams of carbs and another could have 40 grams and both could claim they are low-carb." Ann Chapman, nutritionist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said. Chapman said that low-carb dieting was a fad. Low-carb dieting doesn't consider calories or fat — something Chapman said Mid-westerners were getting plenty of. The Community Mercantile Coop, 901 Iowa St., an organic and local consumer goods store, is labeling foods with 10 net carbs or less to aid consumers on low-carb diets. "We just want to point out that people can have real foods with low carbs instead of manufactured foods," Laurel Matthews, retail manager at the Merc, said. Atkins is leading the way with the diet placing a heavy emphasis on net carbohydrates. Net carbohydrates are the total carbohydrates minus dietary fiber. The FDA requires food manufacturers to provide these nutritional numbers for the consumer, but has not set what numbers determine a low-carb food. The Atkins label is showing up on foods, letting consumers know which product meets the dieting requirements. What isn't readily available to consumers are requirements Atkins Inc. places on products to carry its label. For more on the FDA's progress on protecting consumers from false labels, go to the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition at www.cfsan.fda.gov. Edited by Nikki Nugent kansan.com Now.

Suite 1012-A, 4840 West 15th Street, Lawrence, KS 66049 一 8A the university daily kansan news friday, february 20, 2004 U.S. urges Americans to leave Haiti The Associated Press PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti President Jean-Bertrand Aristide declared yesterday he is ready to die to defend his country against a bloody rebellion, indicating he plans to cling to power. The U.S. government, citing continued violence, urged Americans to leave Haiti. Aristide's defiance and Washington's warning came as the United States and other countries were preparing a political plan to resolve the crisis. Secretary of State Colin Powell said the plan could be presented to Haitian government and opposition leaders as early as today. The Pentagon said it was sending a small military team to assess the security of the U.S. Embassy and its staff in the Caribbean country. The announcement came as an unconfirmed report surfaced that two embassy vehicles were fired on earlier in the week. An American in Haiti who spoke on condition of anonymity said that six armed men stopped the two vehicles in Port-au-Prince on Monday night and fired the shots, hitting a vehicle but causing no injuries. The last major government bastion in northern Haiti was Cap-Haïtien, where armed supporters of Aristide patrolled the city Thursday, vowing to fight any rebel attempt to seize control. Frightened police remained barricaded in their station, saying they were too few and poorly armed to repel any attack. that is what it takes to defend my country," Aristide told stony-faced police officers honoring slain comrades at a ceremony in Port-au-Prince, the capital in the south. "I am ready to give my life if "If wars are expensive, peace can be even more expensive," warned Aristide, who has survived three assassination attempts and a coup. Amid the chaos, the United States urged Americans to leave Haiti. More than 20,000 Americans, at least a quarter of them missionaries, are registered with the U.S. Embassy. Peace Corps personnel were being withdrawn, and other U.S. citizens should leave while commercial transportation is still available, the State Department said. "American citizens should be aware that the U.S. Embassy has prohibited travel by its staff outside of Port-au-Prince," the warning said. It said the embassy's ability to provide emergency services to citizens outside the capital was limited and had "drastically decreased in recent days due to numerous random roadblocks set up by armed groups." In Washington, Powell said the emerging political plan does not contemplate Aristide's stepping down before his term ends in February 2006, as Haiti's political opposition and rebels are demanding. But he said the United States would not object if, as part of a negotiation with opposition leaders, Aristide agreed to leave ahead of schedule. ELECTION: Searching for new sexual-assault-prevention coordinator CONTINUED FROM 1A Farokhi and Weller lost their elections last spring,but they're still pursuing the platform. Working with student body vice president Catherine Bell, they drafted a proposal and planned to bring it before the Tuition Advisory Committee during a meeting last fall. But Provost David Shulenburger had to leave the meeting early and didn't get a chance to hear the proposal. "It wasn't that anything went wrong, we just didn't have time to address new issues," Bell said. Farokhi, Weller and Bell plan to bring the proposal up again at the committee's meeting. The duties of the part-time sexual-assault prevention and education coordinator include coordinating programs and presentations, writing materials and brochures and counseling students who require information and support. Corrina Beck, who formerly held the part-time position, contributed to the proposal for a fulltime position. "Frequently I find that I have three times more work than I am able to do in 15 hours per week." Beck wrote. "A full-time Sexual-Assault Prevention and Education Program Coordinator would certainly not be struggling to find projects to work on." Beck left the part-time position recently, spurring an employee search by Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. "The position is currently open and we hope that by the end of next week it will be closed," Rose-Mockey said. was critical and that, without a doubt, there was enough work to support its expansion. She said that at the University of California-Davis, where she used to work, there were multiple full-time employees devoted to sexual-assault prevention. UC-Davis has an enrollment of 30,229. The University's Lawrence campus has an enrollment of 26,814. The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center estimated that it counseled 30 student victims of sexual assault last year. Rose-Mockry said the position — Edited by Henry C. Jackson VOTING: Survey says young people know little about government A survey compiled by the National Conference of State Legislatures reported that eight out of 10 people 25 years old or younger knew the name of the Simpsons home town (Springfield), while less than half knew the party of their state's governor. CONTINUED FROM 1A In the same survey, more than half of the youngest voters had participated in volunteer service. Some Campus Compact panelists didn't think that was enough. "When you look and see if service politics can revitalize our democracy, the results are a little bit mixed," said Fabrico Rodriguez, executive director of Philadelphia Jobs with Justice. Rodriguez said that in light of recent political events including the Sept. 11 terror attacks and the controversial 2000 presidential election, service politics weren't enough. "At best, it's an inadequate response. We're filling the belly of a corpse when we need to be performing CPR," he said. The Center for Community Outreach is coordinating Campus Compact activities at the University of Kansas in order to motivate students to vote. The center will sponsor a voter registration rally during Into The Streets Week March 1 to 7, said Kevin Hager, the center's co-director. Volunteers will register students all week at Wescos Beach. But the register-to-vote movement may not be what young people need or want, said Paul Johnson, graduate director of the Department of Political Science. Civil duty isn't a clear picture for students, and voting isn't always the clearest path to political involvement, he said. "Less than half of all Americans vote," Johnson said, "so there must be some doubt as to what our civil duty is." —Edited by Cindy Yeo City to sue state over gay marriage The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — After sanctioning more than 2,800 gay marriages in the past week, the city sued the state of California yesterday, challenging its ban on same-sex marriages on constitutional grounds. Mayor Gavin Newsom said he doesn't regret giving out marriage licenses before the city filed a legal challenge to the state's marriage laws, but added that he's Two judges already are considering challenges from conservative groups seeking to halt the marriage spree that began last Thursday. The city's lawsuit, filed late yesterday afternoon, asks that those cases be consolidated into one. "The city and county of San Francisco is going on the offensive today to protect the mayor's action" allowing gay marriage, City Attorney Dennis Herrera said. glad the question is now in the courts. "I think what we have done is affirm marriage here in San Francisco," Newsom said. "We affirmed it because we are celebrating people coming together in their unions. I feel affirmed as a married man by what's happened here in San Francisco." A lawyer for a group trying to halt the gay marriages described the city's move as a delaying tactic. "This is as much a maneuver to keep this in court and keep the issue alive as it is anything else," said Benjamin Bull, an attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund. "The attorney general has assured me that he will vigorously defend the constitutionality of the law" barring gay marriage, Schwarzenegger said. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said San Francisco's same-sex marriage licenses "fail to meet legal standards." Researchers: Vaccine can stop lung cancer The Associated Press DALLAS — An experimental vaccine wiped out lung cancer in some patients and slowed its spread in others in a small but promising study, researchers say. Three patients injected with the vaccine, GVAX, had no recurrence of lung cancer for more than three years afterward, according to the study of 43 people with the most common form of the disease, non-small cell lung cancer. The findings were published in Wednesday's Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The research was funded in part by Cell Genesys, a pharmaceutical company that hopes to produce the vaccine. researchers at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, is years away from reaching the market, if ever. The researchers hope to apply for Food and Drug Administration approval in three years. The vaccine, developed by "The results are very promising for patients with non-small (cell) lung cancer, which is frequently resistant to chemotherapy," said Dr. John Nemunaitis, a Baylor oncologist who led the study. Non-small cell lung cancer is the nation's leading cause of cancer death, killing more than 150,000 people each year. The disease is related to smoking and is often difficult to treat. Treatment usually involves removal of the tumor, chemotherapy or both.

PAGE 7B sports commentary 1B The University Daily Kansan Friday, February 20, 2004 a commentary Doyle Murphy dmurphy@kansan.com To bleed crimson and blue SOMEWHERE BETWEEN COURTSIDE AND REALITY—Oh, he's hot now. He's told his players a thousand times to take care of that dang ball, but they've already committed seven turnovers in the first 30 minutes. Unacceptable. They'll never make it back to the tournament playing like this, he says knowingly. If only these guys had half the intensity that he does. They just don't care—that's the dang problem. He can't do anymore. He's yelled himself hoarse (almost), slammed his fist into his palm and even stomped his foot a few times. But these guys just keep going like they can't even hear him, even though he knows they can. hear him, even though I asked. And how about those officials? Where did they get these bums. He wouldn't hire a one of them as the night janitor at any of his three companies. He tells them so. Yeah, you heard me, you moron That brightens his mood a little, and he shares a few high fives with the dozens of assistant coaches sitting around him. Their laughter and shared hostility toward those idiots bolsters his confidence. He's really going to let that official — you know, the one that hated him ever since that whole backcourt violation thing a few years ago — have it the next time he misses a three-seconds-in-the-lane call. Johnson has been camping out in there, at least four and a half to five seconds every time. He can't believe these idiots miss that call so often. Don't even get him started about players palming the ball these days. Relax and enjoy the ball game? Relax and enjoy the meet. He's here to do a job. After all, he didn't pay thousands of dollars for a courtside soapbox just to get the "free" booze in the Naismith Lounge. People think dedication means camping out on air mattresses for a week and jumping up and down whenever the opponents shoot free throws. Wrong. Dedication is intensity on every play, every call, every missed call. True, nobody knows the game quite like he does, but you would think the other fans would have learned something from all the wisdom he's been spitting out for years. They can hear him, too, you know. He wouldn't expect them to pick up the subtle nuances, such as waiting for the few seconds of relative silence between fight songs and crowd noise to shout at officials and 18 year olds. But they should at least learn the value red-faced, spitting rage when trvying to get your point across. Jangit, Simien. You've got to make those free throws! He's been sitting in these seats for a while now. They're better than the ones he got from his father when the old man left him his season tickets along with the family businesses and a trust fund. He was finally able to move down to the front row when the so-called true fans wouldn't show their support by coughing up the extra $5,000. He would have paid another thousand to be close enough to help coach his beloved Jayhawks and keep those idiot refs in check. That's dedication. He's part of the new Allen Fieldhouse crowd; just ask the Athletics Department. How else will Kansas stay competitive? It takes big business and big money to be big time. Everyone knows that. He's just supporting his team in the modern world of college sports. How dare anyone challenge his loyalty? He gives not only his money, but also his voice and insights at every Kansas game Doyle Murphy is a Baldwin City senior in journalism. Why aren't the Jayhawks running this season? They've got the best athletes in basketball; you've got to play to your personnel. Three seconds in the lane, you idiot! He even followed Kansas to the Final Four the last two years. He can't believe that Roy Williams shook his hand then stabbed him in the back and went to North Carolina. Someone should question his loyalty.Not that he's bitter. He's too busy dishing out the tough love that goes so unappreciated these days. Victory focus for'Hawks Kansas won't let past losses affect game against Iowa State By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansas sportswriter The first stop on the Jayhawk's brief revenge tour will return the team to Allen Fieldhouse, where they will face off against the Iowa State Cyclones tomorrow night. In Ames, Iowa, on Jan. 31, Kansas played one of its worst second halves of the season, leading to its first Big 12 Conference loss of the year. The Jayhawks blew an eight-point halftime lead, allowed 47 points in the second half and lost 68-61. The loss at Iowa State (14-8 overall, 5-6 Big 12) started a downward spiral that has consisted of three consecutive conference road losses and has placed Kansas in third place in the conference standings. Kansas (16-6, 8-3) is only two games behind conference kingpin Oklahoma State in the standings, but the Jayhawks more than likely have to run the table for a shot at the crown. "Regardless, we go into every game with that mentality that we're not going to lose," junior guard Keith Langford said. "That's just how I think. I don't care who we're playing. If you don't think like that, then you shouldn't be playing basketball on my team." The Cyclones are hoping that their Mr. Hyde side will show again in Lawrence. After knocking off Kansas, the Cyclones dropped their next three games by an average margin of 25.6 points. That stretch included a 31-point pummeling from Kansas State. Then, Iowa State rebounded with a 78-77 victory against then No. 11 ranked Texas. For an Iowa State team that has shown such inconsistency, the Jayhawks are not worried, no matter which Cyclones squad shows up. But Cyclones' freshman guard Curtis Stinson could be a cause of worry. Stinson led Iowa State with 19 points and 11 rebounds in the first meeting with Kansas, and guard play will once again be critical for the Cyclones to succeed. On Jan. 31, alongside Stinson, senior guard Jake Sullivan canned five three-pointers. Such prolific three-point shooting could present problems for Kansas, which has struggled with perimeter defense recently, allowing eight threes in each of their losses last week. A positive for the Jayhawks will be the return of senior forward Jeff Graves to the lineup.

By Ron Knox rknox@kansan.com Kansan staff writer On the lawn of Allen Fieldhouse last Sunday, Rob Winnie dove toward the ball, trying to block what would have been the game-winning shot. been the games we had in the game. The Lawrence resident stood up from the dive with his hand cut open from the ice. The brutal lawn battered many of the players with its jagged ice and slick mud, but they played on, pouncing on shots and diving for stray balls. The ball they're diving after had a big happy face printed on its yellow surface. Everyone calls it Smiley. And the players swung fat, short Wiffle Ball bats, the kind uncoordinated children use to hack at balls cradled by wobbly poles. "This is crumpets," game inventor Robbie Overton said before the first match. "You just have to see it to understand." Maybe even that isn't enough. From afar, the game of crumpets appears equally childish and dangerous, as adults swing kids' sports equipment wildly at one another, falling face-first on icy grass. "We know it looks funny," said Overton, a Leawood senior. "We embrace that part of it sometimes." But looks can be deceiving. For as silly as the young sport may look to outsiders, a sport is a sport, and even its simplistic rules and modest history can't stop it from gaining fans at the University of Kansas and across the country. Crumpeteers call their ever-changing teams names like "Princess Carriage" and "Are You Gimp Too?" They make fun of each other and crack jokes all game long "We know it's kind of comical." Overton said. ton said. As Smiley ricocheted from Wiffle Ball bat to Wiffle Ball bat, one swift swing blasted the smiling face through an invisible box. Arms raised in the air, the crumpeers stood victorious. *** On the walkway in front of Allen Fieldhouse last Sunday, Overton and his crumpeter girlfriend, Melissa Hambleton, dropped an overfull gym bag on the half-icy concrete. BEE CRUMPETS ON PAGE RR 'Hawks try to rebound from loss skid By Jonathan Kealing jkealing@kansan.com Kansas sportwriter Looks can be observed. The Jayhawks play the Aggies Saturday at 8 p.m.at Allen Fieldhouse following the men's rematch against Iowa State. On paper, the Texas A&M women's basketball team looks to be a relatively easy opponent for the University of Kansas. The Aggies are fresh off a 59-56 defeat to No.eight Kansas State on Wednesday. Looks can be deceiving. A & M, who currently resides in the cellar of the Big 12, led the top-of-the-Big 12 Wildcats by 10 points at half time and led by as many as 13 points in the game. "We played good enough on defense to win," Texas A & M head coach Gary Blair said. "But when you FEDERAL CENTER FOR ADVANCEMENT AND REHABILITATION Ransburg make the mistakes we did in the final minute, you deserve to lose."

Kansas, which is in the throes of a four-game losing streak, just suffered a 15-point loss to Iowa State at home. 15-point loss to Iowa The Jayhawks were unable to create any sort of perimeter defense in the game against the Cyclones. "It wasn't a pretty three, it was like, 'Oh I can't believe it went in,'" sophomore forward Tamara Ransburg said. Iowa State connected12 of 29 shots from beyond the three-point line. That seemed to typify the Jayhawks' night. After the game, the team seemed ready to focus on the upcoming battle with A & M. "We just need to regroup and forget about this game," sophomore guard Erica Hallman said. "We've got to get a win." If the Jayhawks want to win, they're going to have to contain one of the Big 12 top guards, A & M senior Toccara Williams. She has played a full 40 minutes in five SEE 'HAWKS ON PAGE 8B 1.

Chiefs' Johnson entered into diversion program OLATHE — Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson has entered a diversion program following an incident during which, prosecutors said, he brandished a gun during an argument with his ex-girlfriend. "We try to look at the case on its merits without looking at who did it," Morrison said. "While we certainly don't want to give professional athletes a break we wouldn't give someone else, we don't want to treat them harder." Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison said yesterday the diversion agreement Johnson signed this week requires him to complete 120 hours of community service, attend an anger management course and stay out of trouble for two years. has provided discipline and morality amid accusations that recruits were lured with sex and alcohol. Johnson, who played at Penn State, was Kansas City's first-round draft choice last year, but played only sparingly in his rookie season. Johnson, 24, was charged late last year with aggravated assault, a felony, and misdemeanor domestic battery stemming from an argument with his ex-girlfriend at his home in Leawood. The charges against Johnson, a first-time offender, will be dismissed if he completes the program. Former Buffaloes stand by Colorado coach amid scandal He was scheduled to appear Wednesday in Johnson County District Court, but the appearance was waived after Morrison agreed to let Johnson into the diversion program. I just saw David Padgett and I want to have his baby. Free for All BOULDER, Colo. — Six former Colorado football players defended their suspended coach yesterday, saying he The Associated Press - Morrison said Johnson displayed the gun but didn't point it and said, "Bring it on." - "We are grateful for the granting of Larry's diversion; he is a great young man and he'll make the best of it," said Johnson's attorney, Kevin E.J. Regan. Regan said Johnson is expected to provide community service to the Kansas City Crime Commission's innercity programs and the Derrick Thomas Third and Long Foundation, among others. Morrison described the couple as having "a toxic relationship." He said the ex-girlfriend from out-of-town showed up unannounced at Johnson's home. They spent the weekend together, much of it arguing. At one point, she threatened to bring someone there to take care of him, Morrison said. Win or lose, we are all still Jay- hawks. Where is your guys' spirit? University officials said Barnett's job status remained uncertain pending the outcome of an investigation into recruiting practices at the school, due by April 30. services and strippers. Barnett was suspended amid a growing list of allegations involving the football program, including rape, alcohol-fueled recruiting parties, escort The report quoted an unidentified woman who said Barnett told her he "would back his player 100 percent" if rape charges were pursued. The woman declined to file charges. Nemeth said Barnett provided a steady hand at Colorado. Call 864-0500 Standing in front of a crowd of reporters, Scott Nemeth and Rashidi Barnes said the scandal at the school had gotten out of hand. University president Elizabeth Hoffman also said she was dismayed by comments attributed to Barnett in a 2001 police report filed by another woman who had said she was raped by a football plaver. The A's released Thompson at his request last May and the Royals signed "We're losing focus here," Barnes said. "We have basketball, track, football and a number of athletes who are being bombarded by the media. They had nothing to do with anything, they don't know anything (and) we need to just let the kids get their education." Coach Gary Barnett was put on paid leave late Wednesday for criticizing the ability of former player Katie Hnida after she said she had been raped by a teammate in 2000. He called her an "awful" and "terrible" player, comments university officials said were unacceptable given her allegation of sexual assault. "His rules were strictly applied: suspending players or adding additional discipline for being late, dressing out of uniform or displaying any sort of conduct that did not meet the standards discussed in the player book," he said. "Gary Barnett is an upright, honest and moral man and I stand by him as my coach, my leader and my mentor." SURPRISI, Ariz. — Eric Thompson was going nowhere in the Oakland Athletics organization, but blossomed into a pitching prospect with the Kansas City Royals. "We believe coach Barnett is a man of high moral integrity," Johnson said. "We believe he is doing the right things. A balanced story is not being told."

I would just like to say that the baseball boys are the hottest team on campus. him to a Class AA Wichita contract. Thompson went 11-0 with a 2.11 earned run average in 20 games, including 13 starts, with Wichita. Thompson began last year with the A's Class AAA Sacramento club, but after three relief appearances was demoted to Class AA Midland (Texas). Those glistening numbers in the Texas League earned Thompson a spring training invitation with the Royals, where he was among 33 pitchers competing for a spot on the staff. "It worked out for me," Thompson said of joining the Royals. "Oakland is stacked with pitching." "The new beginning with a new organization kind of did me good," Thompson said yesterday. "I came with no expectations." Oakland drafted Thompson in the 12th round in 1998 out of Ohio State, where he went 10-3 in 1997 and ranked second in the Big 10 in wins and third with 97 strikeouts and a 2.88 ERA. "That was my fourth straight year to spend time in Midland," Thompson said. "They felt my time was up. I started going backward in the organization. I kind of felt like I was stuck." Thompson made six relief appearances in his first seven games with the Wranglers before moving into the rotation for good on Jun. 23 when he allowed just one run and two hits over six innings against El Paso. He asked for his release, but was initially turned down. After going 0-3 with an 8.36 ERA in five starts with Midland, the A's released him on May 7. The Royals signed him on May 24 and Thompson's career made a 180-degree turn. Thompson, who turned 26 last September, went 5-0 with a 1.32 ERA in his final six starts with Wichita, despite pitching with a sore elbow. "I noticed it in mid-July and pitched a month and a half with it," Thompson said. "They said it was not going to get any worse. I had a bone chip taken out in September at the end of the season, so I'm not ready to go yet. I'm not going to be full bore when camp starts. I'm throwing off the mound now at about 70 percent."

The 'Hawks look to rebound after be swept last weekend by No.4 Stanford. "We played very well Saturday and Sunday against Stanford," coach Ritch Price said. "But I think the difference was the fact that they have been outside all season and we have been practicing in Anschutz for four weeks." The team has been unable to practice outdoors for the entire season, holding practices at Anschutz Sports Pavilion. With "Sean Land has been outstanding out of the bullpen, he has held the lead in many games this season." Ritch Price Baseball coach the weather warming up the team is hoping it will be able to practice outside before the home opener Price had his team shoveling snow out of the outfield into carts and dropping in the parking lot. "We got the snow off today, we just have to hope that it warms up so the field can dry out," Price said. "These guys have worked their tails off trying to get this field clear." This weekend was supposed to KU be a home and away with Creighton, but be c a u s e Creighton is still covered in snow, only one game will be played. Senior Ryan Knippschild will be the start- Price will be pitcher Sunday for the Jayhawks. Knippschild is 1-2 on the season with an ERA of 6.04. Creighton, coached by Ed Servais, who is in his first year, is trying to improve a program which went 20-37 last season. Kansas Baseball Notebook Freshman Sean Land, who is 1-0 out of the bullpen, has impressed Price so far this season. Land is the team's only fresh man pitcher. "Sean Land has been outstanding out of the bullpen, he has held the lead in many games this season," KU Land Price said. Land ranks fourth on the team in innings pitched. The Jayhawks have changed the dates of their Oakland series next week, moving the games from Feb. 25 through 28 to Feb. 23 through 26. Price elected to move the series because of possible poor weather for the weekend. - Edited by Nikki Nugent Hockey to play final two home games By Christina Kessler ckessler@kansan.com Kansas sportwriter With 24 games under its belt and only four games left in its season, the University of Kansas' men's hockey team (6-16-2) can finally look forward to playing on its home ice. The team has been on the road since the spring semester started with not much success. Last weekend, the Hawks went to Springfield, Mo., to take on the Bears of Southwest Missouri State (20-10-0) with disappointing results. Both games were losses, with Kansas scoring only two goals in each game. In the first game, Ryne "A few guys even had to change their playing positions to help out the team. Everyone has worked very hard this year." Ryne Tusten Olathe freshman Tusten, Olathe freshman, scored both goals, but it wasn't enough to prevent a 2-7 loss. "A team can't become great until they face adversity." Tusten said about the season so far. tine following night, Tusten shared a goal with David Knight. Toronto sophomore. But the Hawks just couldn't pull it out, losing 2-6. "I love playing hockey. Scoring goals is just a plus," Tusten said. "It isn't much fun to score goals if your team doesn't win. Nothing is more fun than winning games." Tusten has nine goals for the year and has easily proven himself as a key player for Kansas' hockey team as a freshman. He also said it would be rare to have a first-year team win all of its games. "I there are a lot of guys who have improved throughout the season," Tusten said. "A few guys even had to change their playing positions to help out the team. Everyone has worked very hard this year." This weekend, the Jayhawks changed their schedule. Instead of facing the University of Oklahoma, who defeated Kansas early in the season, they face the Roadrunners of Metro State University of Denver at 8:30 p.m. tonight and tomorrow at Canlan Ice Sports, 19900 Johnson Dr. Shawnee. These two are the last of the team's home games. The teams have never played each other before. - Edited by Nikki Nugent Final seating plan comments submitted By Joe Bant jbant@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The University of Kansas faculty and staff finished their men's basketball seating plan last week Now, the Athletics Department just needs to follow suit. The department's priority points seating plan isn't finalized yet, but one more step in the process was finished Wednesday when the 44-person ticket advisory committee submitted its final comments regarding the plan. The committee has been reviewing the plan since the end of January when the department first released a draft of the plan. Changes the committee has initiated include a greater points award for University service and points for people who donate money to the Chancellor's Club. Don Steeple, vice provost and committee member, said he thought the most important change was awarding points to the Chancellor's Club donors. He said it was a good way of recognizing the people who gave money to the academic side of the University. Andy Knopp, student body president and member of the committee, also agreed that monetary donations should be the primary way to earn points. He said if the prime seats were going to go for cheap, they should go to the students. Otherwise, they should be used to maximize revenue. Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs, said the next step for the department would be to show the plan to the KUAC board, so that it could comment at its Feb.27 meeting. Sometime after that, he said the athletics director would submit the final plan to the chancellor for approval. The department's first draft of the plan, which was released at the end of January, aimed to increase revenue for KU athletics by distributing the best seats to men's basketball and football games to the biggest donors. The plan used a points system to accomplish this, with a variety of criteria to award points that will determine where ticket-holders will sit. Donating money to the Athletics Department was the primary way to earn points. The department then appointed the ticket advisory committee to consider the draft of the plan and to suggest necessary changes. The department wanted to consult a broad spectrum of people to ensure the plan represented a variety of perspectives, Marchiony said. Committee member Dale Seuferling said it was nice to be finished with this part of the process, and now the department could move on to finalizing the details and putting the plan to action. Seuferling, who is also the president of KU Endowment, said he thought the committee had done a good job accomplishing what it set out to do. “Introducing change like this is always difficult,” Seuferling said. “It's been a process that has sought input from all the various constituencies.” BASEBALL Edited by Michelle Rodick Pujols gets large offer from St. Louis Cardinals Albert Pujols and the St. Louis Cardinals were expected to announce their $100 million, Candinda seven-year contract today, when the sides had been scheduled to go to salary arbitration in Arizona. Puilots and the Cardinals agreed to the deal Wednesday, according to a source familiar with the negotiations who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The Cardinals called an 10 a.m. news conference for today at their spring training complex in Jupiter, Fla., but did not announce the subject matter. At 24, Pujols led the major leagues in hitting at .359 last year. He hit 43 home runs with 124 RBIs and topped the majors with 51 doubles, and he made $950,000. His deal contains an option for an eighth year that could make the contract worth $111 million. Puiols gets $7 million this year, $11 million in 2005, $14 million in 2006, $15 million in 2007 and $16 million in each of the final three years, according to contract terms obtained Thursday by The Associated Press. The Cardinals have a $16 million option for 2011 with a $5 million buyout. St. Louis gets to defer $3 million a year from his 2007-10 salaries without interest, with Pujols getting $1.2 million a year from 2020-29. St. Louis made Pujols the ninth baseball player to receive a $100 million contract, the first since Jason Giambi's $120 million, seven-year agreement with the New York Yankees in December 2001. Pujols has played only three full seasons, making him the fastest player to receive a $100 million contract. Colorado's Todd Helton signed a $141.5 million, nine-year extension in March 2001 after three-plus seasons in the big leagues. Pujols had been seeking $10.5 million in arbitration, while the Cardinals had offered $7 million. Cardinals had only one AP team. Third baseman Scott Rolen previously had been the highest-paid Cardinals player. He'll be entering the second year of an eight-year, $90 million contract. The Associated Press NBA teams negotiate players, draft picks The Associated Press The Detroit Pistons got a lot better without giving a lot away, getting Rasheed Wallace from the Atlanta Hawks yesterday in the most significant deal before the NBA trading deadline. Pistons president Joe Dumars gave up a pair of first-round draft picks and four reserves — Bob Sura, Zeljko Rebraca, Lindsey Hunter and Chucky Atkins—in a three-way trade also involving the Boston Celtics. A total of four trades were made yesterday, two apiece by the Utah Jazz and Orlando Magic. By far the biggest was the Wallace deal, which adds a talented offensive threat to a team that went to the conference finals last season and has the East's third-best record (34-22). "Itm getting Rasheed is a great thing. I'm happy for those guys," Knicks president Isiah Thomas said. "At least now there's a couple teams over here that can challenge Indiana and New Jersey." The Pistons beat out the Knicks to obtain Wallace, putting together a package — a No.1 and a parcel of players with expiring contracts—that was exactly what Atlanta wanted. Detroit sent Rebraca and Sura to the Hawks, and Atkins and Hunter to the Celtics, and received Mike James from Boston. Atlanta gets Milwaukee's lottery-protected first-round pick, and Boston gets Detroit's No. 1 pick. The Hawks also received forward Chris Mills from the Celtics. Wallace played only one game for the Hawks, who acquired him from Portland last week. "He was a big fish on the market, and we did everything — without tearing up the core of the team — to try to get him," Thomas said. "If it was a talent-for-talent deal, we were in a pretty good position to play in that game. But that's not what they were looking for." Thomas also was in negotiations with the Golden State Warriors for center Erick Dampier, but the teams could not agree on a deal. Another team surprisingly idle was the Philadelphia 76ers, who turned down Orlando's offer of Gordon Giricek and Juwan Howard for Eric Snow. Instead, Giricek was dealt from Orlando to Utah for guard DeShawn Stevenson and a future second-round pick. The Magic also dealt Shammond Williams to New Orleans for Sean Rooks. Utah also acquired Tom Gugliotta, a pair of No. 1 picks and a 2005 second-round pick from Phoenix for Keon Clark and Ben Handlogen — a deal that uses up all of the Jazz's salary cap space for this season. The two No. 1 picks formerly belonged to the Knicks, who sent them to Phoenix in the Stephon Marbury trade. One consequence of the Suns-Jazz trade is that Utah no longer has the ability to claim center Michael Doleac off waivers. New York traded the 7-foot center to Atlanta last weekend in the deal that brought Tim Thomas and Nazr Mohammed to the Knicks, and the Knicks now hope to resign him. Thomas, who brought in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to tutor his big men at practice yesterday, said the Knicks are also interested in signing Vin Baker after he clears waivers. Among other trade-minded teams shut out were the Toronto Raptors, who are in danger of falling out of the playoff race after losing Vince Carter and Jalen Rose to injuries. "There was nothing we could get done that made sense. We could have made some bad deals. There were no good deals out there," general manager Glen Grundal said. "We were trying to get a veteran big guy. Those guys are more difficult to get." Difficult for everyone except Dumars, who added Wallace to a starting front court that already includes All-Star Ben Wallace and Mehmet Okur. By shedding Atkins' contract, Dumars also positioned the Pistons far enough under the salary cap to offer Okur a market-value deal when he becomes a free agent this summer. Dumars said Wallace's past problems never entered into his decision-making process, and coach Larry Brown was thrilled with the acquisition of a fellow former North Carolina Tar Heel. "It gives us a real shot to compete at the highest level in the NBA right now," Dumars said.

Josh Childress scored a career-high 36 points and the top-ranked Cardinal rallied from a 13-point first-half deficit to beat Southern California 76-67 last night for its school-record 22nd consecutive victory. Stanford (13-0) clinched a share of its fourth Pac-10 title in six years with three weeks remaining in the regular season. But perfection has been harder to maintain recently. The Cardinal came from 19 points down and won at Oregon on Jan. 31, then Nick Robinson hit a buzzerbeating 3-pointer to hold off Arizona on Feb. 7. USC (10-13, 5-9) threatened until the final minutes after Stanford blew an 11-point lead in the second half. The Trojans tied it for the final time at 65 on a basket by Jeff McMillan. But Childress hit a 3-pointer and scored another basket for a 70-65 lead. The Trojans, who had been solid from the free-throw line earlier in the game, made just 2-of-5 in the final 1:15 when they trailed by three. game's final six points to end USC's upset hopes. Rob Little added 20 points for Stanford The Trojans (10-13, 5-9) have lost seven of their last nine games. McMillan led USC with 21 points — one off his career high. Rory O'Neil added 14, and Desmon Farmer scored 11, all in the first half when he carried the Trojans. The Associated Press USC started the game strongly, playing aggressive defense and getting hands in the faces of Stanford's shooters. Childress was the Cardinal's only offensive threat in the first half, when he had 18 points. VICTORY: Loss against Cyclones spurs Jayhawks on CONTINUED FROM 1B Sunday at Nebraska for a lack of commitment.

Now the Jayhawks, who all appeared to be on the same page Wednesday, said they must be focused from here on out. not, then they don't need to play." Langford said. "We're going to make it real tough for anyone coming in here the rest of the season. It's getting down to nut-cracking time." here on our out. If somebody on our team is Edited by Donovan Atkinson 'HAWKS: Loss of confidence leads to skepticism CONTINUED FROM 1B of her last six games, and averages almost 16 points per game. Williams, who is 5-foot-2, also manages to pull down the second most boards on the team, 5.6 per game. For the Jayhawks, a reenergized Ransburg has led the team. Part of this renewed effort may be due to a decision she and interim head coach Lynette Woodard have made. Ransburg, who averages 8.5 points per game for the season, has recorded games of 19 and 15 points of late. In the last two games, Nichelle Roberts has started in front of Ransburg. Ransburg said it gave her an opportunity to see the game, and decided where she would contribute most. Whenever she is asked if she thinks she's ready to start again, she responds very simply. "I don't want to," she said. The Kansas team, which appeared to be very promising when it entered the season, appears to have lost some confidence of late. When talking about victory, they seem to use a large does of skepticism. "It's a possibility, but I'm not going to say we're not, and I'm not going to say we are," Ransburg said. "We're just going to have to be ready to play." — Edited by Guillaume Doane GRAVES 13 KANSAS 11 Kanean Filenphoto Junior Aquanita Burras passed the ball into teammate Larisha Graves tuesday night at Allen Field house.The KU women's basketball team lost to Iowa State 73-58. The Lady Jayhawks take on Texas A&M Saturday night at 8 in Allen Fieldhouse. 10 Smiley guarded hordes of plastic bats, which covered plastic yellow pegs that would define the fields' imprecise parameters. Inside, Overton kept everything needed for last week's game. CRUMPETS: Players with Wiffle Ball bats slug it out At both ends of the field, Overton arranged four pegs as a makeshift goal. If Smiley crossed the first two pegs of the invisible box, it counted as one point. The team would get two points if Smiley rolled through all four goal pegs. CONTINUED FROM 1B These aren't generally the same people you'd see playing a pick-up game of football or basketball in someone's back yard. They aren't necessarily the same people you'd catch watching a game of football or basketball. "I don't think we have anyone who has been a serious athlete at anytime, ever." Overton said. So playing the game is simple: run after the ball, swing the wiffle ball bat as hard as you can (or throw it at the ball — also allowed), then dive, slide and do whatever it takes to squeeze Smiley past the goalie. The first team to 10 points wins. During the game Sunday, Hambleton stood helpless in goal while her team "Crazy Patterns are Annoying" this week — jostled the ball at the other end of the field. The only real rule: don't touch the ball with your hands or feet on purpose. If you do, the other team gets a free shot on the goalie — and stopping Smiley can be harder than it looks. There are also secondary rules the players seem to innately understand. Don't try to hit someone with the bat. Don't tackle anyone. If you do tackle someone or bash someone's glasses in with your bat, apologize. Then keep playing. But crumpets isn't just about the rules, or the equipment or the hectic and violent pace of the game. It's about the players, comprised chiefly of Overton's friends and new converts who have been introduced to the game at the University. Though they lack a certain pedigree, the crumpet regulars run, jump and dive with the same passion as any other athlete. They fling themselves across the ill-defined crumpeting field, lunging after the ball, screaming and hurling their bats across the Fieldhouse lawn. "A lot of players take it like a real sport, and some are very good at it," Overton said. Amanda Kim Stairrett/Kansan Katie Heil, Omaha, Neb., senior, prepared to block a shot by Greg Boege, University of Missouri at Kansas City student, during a match of field crumpets Sunday afternoon in front of Allen Fieldhouse. Robbie Overton, Leawood senior, invented crumpets "Score! For Christ's sake, score," she said. Hambleton screamed. She pounded her orange bat against the damp ground. Hambleton had stood at one end of the field for what seemed like forever. She stopped millions of shots, but she needed to run, to see action. but she needed to, to seize it, "I couldn't stand it anymore," she said after the match. "I had to go commando." That's what crumpteteers call a goalie out of goal, "going commando." Hambleton sprinted downfield and, bat readied, looked to blast Smiley toward the goal. Before the game, Hambleton pulled her bat out and showed it to the rest of the players. "Did you see what Robbie got me for Valentine's Day?" she said. "My very own crumpets bat!" She waved it around in the air, the new, thick plastic clean and undented. "Well, it's not the only thing he got me," she said, "but it's the best." In 1996, a bored Overton, his friend Michael Nolan and Overton's two younger sisters wanted to play a game. So they played. They pounded the birdie over the net with orange Wiffle Ball bats, lofting it back and forth to each other. They had a net, Wiffle Ball bats, a badminton birdie, and they were bored. It was fun. It was unpredictable and crazy, never knowing what direction the little birdie would go. And they called the game crumpets, the most ridiculous name for anything they could think of. "It was the funniest way to describe the game. At the time, we thought it was hilarious," Overton said. Then they realized: They were playing badminton. They did not want to play badminton. If they had, they would have skipped on the fat orange Wifte Ball bats. So, sometime during the next year, Overton changed the game, using the same principal equipment (a plastic bat), but adopting new rules and the general feel of field hockey. They officially named it Field Crumpets, and Overton played with high school friends in front vards until his graduation in 2000. Then, as players moved on to college, the game went with them. Some took the game to Aimes, Iowa. Others started a league in thica, N.Y., at Cornell University, where the game still thrives. But in Lawrence, it took some time for Overton to revive crumpets. As the music education major found more and more free time, he managed to talk some some friends into trying the game. Two years ago, they moved the weekly matches to the fieldhouse lawn, where they now play. *** For as lightly as Overton says he takes crumpets, he harbors some lofty plans for the game. Next year, Overton will ask Student Senate for funding, to help provide better equipment, uniforms and possibly road trip to play against the New York club. With the monetary support, he said the game should continue to grow—if Overton and the crumpet regulars can continue to recruit new players. "The only time I ever really feel silly is when I first explain it to people." Overton said. The more people that understand it, the less silly it feels, Overton said. Strength in numbers helps. Try telling a stranger that you play with little kid's Wiffle Ball bats and a happy-face ball in public every Sunday. But then there's the feeling of blasting Smiley through the back of an invisible goal for the game-winning two points while people around scream "Princess Carriage!" and you stand, arms raised a crumpeteer and victorious.

"I figured that since students were parking there anyway, it makes sense to give them a reduced rate." Seibel said.

SEE DAISY HILL ON PAGE 5A Convention shows need to network By Jodie Krafft jkrafft@kansan.com kansan staff writer While teams from the Big 12 Conference were battling on basketball courts Saturday, members of the Big 12 council on black student government were working together to bridge a communication gap in the conference rooms. During the three-day convention in Manhattan, the Big 12 council passed a bill that will increase communication between Big 12 and non-Big 12 schools. Called State, Caucus System of Inclusion, the bill allows state senators from non-Big 12 schools to work with state liaisons from the Big 12 council. The purpose of the bill was to unify and increase communication among all schools. It was something that had never been done in the history of the Big 12 council, said Asia Diggs, former vice president of the council from the University of Texas. "We're extending out our hand to all schools because no matter what school it is, they're all facing the same issues," Diggs said. The Kansas City, Kan., senior said the response to his announcement of the bill at the convention was positive. Rose Nduati, president of the Black Student Union at Fort Hays State University, said that the communication between the Big 12 and non-Big 12 schools could be better. Nduati said this year was her fourth year attending the convention, and the larger schools often took precedence over smaller schools. "we're basically invisible when we come here," Nduati said. Mark Dupree, former president of the council, said non-Big 12 schools saw the need for a better system of networking and communication, but they had to wait until Big 12 schools realized the same thing. Dupree said Robert Page Jr., director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, helped formulate the specifics of the bill. From there, Dupree worked with Diggs and Kriston Guillot, newly elected president of the council, to write it. - Edited by Cindy Yeo Dupree said he had the idea and vision of the bill, but other KU students and staff contributed to the process. "The whole room was so excited, and everyone cheered for a few minutes," Dupree said. Guillot, Shawnee sophomore, said he will have an easy transition to the presidency because he and Dupree are from the same school. And because Guillot helped write the bill, he said he already had ideas of how to make the bill work. of how to make the decision.

Stoneback lifted 104 pounds, which nearly equalled her body weight. She was preparing for September's Junior Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile. Stoneback is the No.9 junior lifter in the United States across all weight classes. Exceptionally strong 105-pound, nationally ranked weightlifter hopes to compete in Olympics By Samia Khan skhan@kansan.com Kansan staff writer In a dimly lit garage, 105-pound Andrea Stoneback is about to perform what her coach calls one of the fastest and most difficult movements in the sports world. With a deep exhale, a small grunt and a twisted grimace, Stoneback bends over and lifts 103 pounds off the ground and locks her arms above her head in one quick motion. She has just performed the snatch, one of two Olympic-style weightlifting moves. She moves on the other Olympic-style move, the clean and jerk. With the same exhale, grunt and expression, she lifts a heavier bar to her shoulders (the clean), lunges forward and locks her arms in the air (the jerk). Stoneback, Lawrence sophomore took first place in her weight class Feb. 13, at the USA Junior National weightlifting competitions. There she lifted more combined weight in the clean and jerk and the snatch than she ever has: 266 pounds. She is ranked ninth in the nation in junior weightlifting across all weight classes and first in her weight class. Although she said she probably won't make the Junior World Championships, she is in a good position to compete in the Junior PanAm competition in Santiago, Chile, this summer. It took her six months to decide to begin training with her coach, Loren McVey. Her parents, Bill and Jill Stoneback, said they had to convince her to do it. Stoneback was powerlifting in high school when she heard about Olympic style weightlifting. She said at first she didn't know anything about it.

Powell suggested he read a book or go outside and play. Instead, he saw his son and his son's friend walk toward Powell's Lincoln Navigator with the keys, popcorn and some DVDs. "There is an expectation now of being 'plugged-in' at all times," Powell said. Powell spoke about the importance of meeting that demand to more than 100 people on Friday at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. Powell was the featured speaker at the day-long Kansas Rural Broadband and Telemedicine Summit. The summit brought together telecommunications companies such as SBC and Cox Cable with legislators and researchers to discuss broadband use in rural areas. Powell said he was optimistic about the future of communications. He said the advancements through the years in technology provided people new tools to work with. Powell PETER HUGHES "We've tried to solve our nation's communication problem with a flat screwdriver, stringing copper wire across the land," Powell said. "Now our tool box has a lot of cool, new stuff in it." "My dad bought me a typewriter when I was younger with the hope that it would advance my future." Powell said. "I hope that these laptops will advance their futures." Powell also discussed new ways in which communications technology can be used. He used telemedicine and homeland security as two examples. Powell used himself and his family as an example of the types of technology people had access to. He said in his home his family had six televisions with direct satellite and TiVo, DSL and cordless and cellular phones. He said all of his children have laptop computers. He said that telemedicine, the use of broadband with medicine, could allow patients in rural areas to receive treatment and consultation from home without having to make a trip to a faraway doctor. With homeland security he said the premium was to respond quickly, and broadband could help us do that. Rep. Tom Sloan (R-Lawrence), the primary sponsor of the event, invited Powell to speak. Jenny Ternes, Peck junior works for Sloan and attended Friday's event. She said that it was important that Powell spoke at the University. Before the conference, Sloan said he hoped the FCC would look to Kansas in the future as a model for other states on broadband and communications issues. "The telemedicine information could be beneficial to KU Med," said Ternes. Other guests attending the summit included Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.). Future leaders to learn needed skills Edited by Cindy Yeo By Andy Marso amarso@kansan.com Kansas staff writer At the Blueprints Leadership Conference on Saturday, KU students will learn whether they have a golden touch or a "Junkfinger." Keynote speaker Andrew Urich, who also spoke at the 2001 conference, said he planned to use his speaking time to administer the "Funkinger test." The test, created by Urich, is a parody of the legend of King Midas, who received the power to turn any object into gold just by touching it. According to Urich, a "Junkfinger" is a person whose touch turns everything to junk. Urich asks a series of questions and has the students assign themselves points based on their answers. The higher the final score, the greater "Junkfinger" that person is. "It's just to illustrate that typically the things that happen to you are a direct result of decisions BLUEPRINTS LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE What: A series of guest speakers with interactive "mind Olympics" games and a community service project.

"If you put yourself in a position for bad things to happen they will and if you put yourself in position for good things to happen they will too." Urich said most students scored low on the test, but the ones who did get high scores usually weren't ashamed to admit it and often would actually brag about it. "The weird thing about Amer ica is that there's some sort of pride in being a screw-up," Urich said. "In other countries it's considered cool to be smart." The Blueprints conference is an annual event organized by the University's EXCEL award winners. This year's winners and conference co-chairs are Jacob Williams, Topeka senior, and Casey Collier, Kansas City, Kan., senior. "It's a really unique conference because it targets emerging leaders who are looking to get involved," Williams said. Williams said freshmen and sophomores were strongly encouraged to apply for the conference and that it was a great opportunity to network with other students interested in pursuing leadership positions. The conference will feature a number of guest speakers,a series of interactive "mind Olympics" activities and a community service project. The service project this year will be painting bowls for the Applications are available at the Center for Campus Life office on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.

NASA researchers to replace Hubble By Lisa Coble lcoble@kansan.com Kansan staff writer A school bus dropping out of the sky may seem pretty silly, but the Hubble Space Telescope, which is the size of a large school bus, will meet that fate by 2006, scientists predict. In January, Sean O'Keefe, NASA administrator, announced that the agency would halt further trips to maintain the telescope. Hubble has captured thousands images of spinning whirlpool galaxies, star explosions, expanding gas clouds of dying stars and galaxies as far as 10 billion light years away. The telescope has aided in learning about the beginning of the universe and its end. Equipped with Doppler radar, Hubble has contributed to a theory that the universe — about 15 billion light years in radius — is accelerating, not constricting as once thought. Despite Hubble's contributions to science, NASA, buoyed by political support, has placed its priorities on Mars, the International Space Station and returning to the moon. Bruce Twarog, professor of astrology and physics, said the decision to let Hubble die was a bad idea. He holds little hope that NASA will agree to overhaul the decaying telescope, which would give Hubble up to 10 more years. "I think the last concern for NASA right now is the Hubble," Twarog said. Josh Meyers, Wichita senior, said he hoped to use Hubble's data to research the history of the universe. Without a space telescope, the possibility of deep space exploration seems limited, and so do jobs in astronomy, he said. "Astronomy is a hard business to get a job in and even harder when they start taking away resources," he said. He said Hubble was an excellent instrument for looking deep into the cosmos, better than any other satellite in space. vet, the demise of Hubble, which had been NASA's crown jewel for years, seems inevitable. Built in the 1970s and in space since 1990, Hubble needs repairs to its gyroscopes, spinning-wheel-shaped instruments used to point and orient the telescope. Also, Hubble's battery needs replaced because its power to recharge is dying. The cost of repairing Hubble, along with safety issues stemming from the Columbia disaster on Feb. 1, 2003, are hurting the the "save Hubble" movement. Astro-physicists at the Space Telescope Institute in Massachusetts, some NASA engineers and Hubble fans are banding together to save the telescope and the, at least, 100 jobs that would be lost without it. They urge NASA to allow one more repair mission to Hubble, arguing that it would be no more dangerous than sending men to the International Space Station. But, O'Keefe has confirmed that Hubble will not be fixed. The telescope will fall out of its orbit, 350 miles from Earth, sometime in the next three years. NASA engineers will be able to steer the falling telescope into an ocean. The next mission to Hubble was scheduled for 2006, the year when a new fleet of reusable shuttles is scheduled to be unveiled. Nonetheless, there is light at the end for Hubble. Hubble's successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, is being perfected in NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. It contains the same capabilities, such as broad color spectrum photography, as Hubble. The JWST will remain grounded until NASA gives an OK to the project. Astro-physicists have urged a Hubble-JWST transition so there will always be a space telescope For more information about Hubble go to www.hubblesite.org.

Well, this needs to stop. games. In the purposes of fairness to you, our unpaid volunteers, we've decided on a few new rules that will dictate how you are to conduct yourselves at Jayhawk basketball HEY, YOU'RE NOT GETTING PAID TO LOLLY-GAG * WATCH THIS BASKETBALL GAME! NOW GET BACK TO SCOWLING AT STUDENTS! ROCK CHALK BRAKE EM HAWKS BUT I DON'T GET PAID AT ALL... EVENT STAFF THAT'S ENOUGH, TOUGH GUY! LET'S GO... First and foremost, while working, you are to watch the crowd and not the game. Basketball games here at the University of Kansas are strictly business. They are not meant to be a source of enjoyment, especially for you, our unpaid volunteers. Zach Newton for The University Daily Kansan In other words, check your excitement at the door; there is to be no cheering or clapping. You're no longer allowed to be passionate about the team you love so much. Second, we've decided to install a new dress code that all of our unpaid volunteers must adhere to. You must arrive at the games in nothing less than ironed slacks, collared shirts or blouses, tucked in of course, and dress shoes. We understand that many of you, our unpaid volunteers, are elderly and standing around in dress shoes for four or more hours may be uncomfortable. But, we've received several complaints from fans that the shoes many of you are wearing are unacceptable for a college basketball game. A gym is the last place in the world that someone should be wearing tennis shoes. Tardiness will not be tolerated. We feel that these new rules will provide a better game experience for everyone, especially you, our unpaid volunteers. Just remember to leave your houses an hour or so earlier so when you have to park a couple of miles away; you won't be late. Finally, the parking passes we've issued you, our unpaid volunteers, no longer really mean anything. Now, just park where you can find a spot. If any of you feel that these new rules are unfair, feel free to quit. We are currently putting the finishing touches on a prototype crowd-watching robot that will, hopefully, one day eliminate the need for you. our unpaid volunteers. led for you, our unpaid volunteer Sincerely, Sincerely All your friends at the Kansas Athletics Department.

COMMENTARY --- Brian Pearson opinion@kansan.com In honor of this most glorious 29 days, I would like to come to the defense of one of my beloved role models: Malcolm X. I recently read an article that criticized Malcolm X for having "praised the advancement of a singular race." I think it is an injustice to summarize a man of such importance in one simple statement. I started to learn more about Malcolm X through his autobiography and books In 1992, when the film X was released, I stood in line at the movie theater with my X hat on, waiting anxiously to see what all the fuss was about. Like many standing in the line I had caught on to the "X" craze because of four simple, powerful words, "by any means necessary." I had no knowledge of who Malcolm X was as a man, or any knowledge about the Nation of Islam, but "by any means necessary" sounded good to me. I watched the film with the rest of my friends and after about two months, the "X" craze faded away. But, Malcolm X became more important to me as I grew older. containing his speeches. Largely misunderstood, Malcolm saw "Amerika," as the impoverished masses saw it oppressive and insensitive to the basic needs of the poor in the ghettos. Malcolm X did not simply just see our differences, he saw how those differences affected his people. Today these differences still exist, no matter how much we try to ignore them. I am not a racist, nor am I committed to the belief that if we, as Americans, just got to know each other better, or simply understood more about each other, we could achieve some kind of Rodney King utopia where we all just got along. Often when people hear about Malcolm X or hear his speeches, they automatically call him "anti-white" or "anti-Christian" or even a teacher of hate. To get a better perspective of why this occurs I spoke with Madison Davis Lacy, a visiting film professor. Lacy made a Malcolm X documentary, titled Eyes on the Prize, which was part of a series of films that focused on black leaders. "People often put Malcolm X and Martin Luther King as opposites; which is true." Lacy said. "However, Martin and Malcolm were not against each other. In fact, Malcolm came to the aide of the Civil Rights Movement during Bloody Sunday in 1965." Lacy went on to speak of how the trips to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, changed Malcolm's perspective." Once he broke from the Nation of Islam, his thoughts began to evolve and Malcolm was going through a transformation." In the 21st century we have yet to see a leader as magnificent and intelligent as Malcolm X. His kind of leadership is non-existent in our time. When it came to intellectual debates Malcolm X was invincible. The more enraged his opponents became, the happier Malcolm was. He wanted them to feel like black people felt. Malcolm X blessed black people's rage by releasing it. The difference between Martin Luther King and Malcolm X was simple. King had a dream. Malcolm X saw a nightmare.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Wrong statistics The Pachyderm, the official publication and "voice of reason of the KU College Republicans," broke onto campus last week in typical Republican fashion — when advancing the party line never forgo exploiting racial tensions. The group has charged that African Americans are overrepresented in Student Senate. Their statistics show that five African-American senators compose 7.5 percent of Student Senate, but only 2.7 percent of students. How do five senators out of 85 produce a 7.5 percent composition? I'm confident five is 5.8 percent of 85. The intent of the appointed seat is to remedy the potential and often under-representation experienced by minority members on campus. If College Republicans really intends to discuss the disproportionate composition of Student Senate why not discuss the overwhelming degree of over representation enjoyed by scholarship halls and the Greek community. Time and time again Republicans have demonstrated their willingness to racebait issues instead of constructing reasonable, solid and well-rounded arguments. My advice: don't bite the bait. Racial tension I wish to respond to the column, "Death of Aborigine" in Friday's Kansan. A couple of days ago I heard that an Aboriginal man named Thomas Hickey the Redfern neighborhood in Sydney had died. The news article also said that an unknown train station there was devastated in the aftermath of his death, possibly by the enraged Aboriginals. Redfern is possibly the most politically racial hotspot in the country. Hickey should never have died. However, the anger of the Aboriginal community has blinded them to the efforts made to repatriate them back into society. Few Aboriginals seek higher education or employment. Throughout Australian history, Aboriginals have been made outcasts by my people because of their skin, similar to African Americans in this country. When I was 17, I was confronted by a group of drunk, angry Aboriginals. They verbally threatened me and spat at me because of my white skin. I do not defend the actions of the police but I do defend their intentions. I pity Hickey, but I feel no more sympathy for him than a person of different heritage.

It is reassuring, however, to note that Kerry is connected to Heinz money, and not oil money (like Cheney and Bush) because I don't see Kerry lying about weapons of mass destruction to spread the use of ketchup around the globe. Pirotte forgot to mention the faulty intelligence that was exploited to justify the invasion of Iraq and the incessant questioning of patriotism that Bush used against Democrats to bully our country and the world into a war that is turning out to be a dangerous mistake. Second, it may be news to Pirotte that people pay income taxes in this country proportional to how much money they make. What should be a major concern about the IRS statistics Pirotte mentioned is the huge wage gap in the U.S. — the average CEO's salary is 400 times that of the average worker.

The fighters fired celebratory rounds as people looted and torched the police station and other buildings. A pall of black smoke hung over the city of 500,000. Flush with victory after the takeover of Cap-Haitien, rebel leader Guy Philippe said he was setting his sights on the capital, Port-au-Prince. "I think that in less than 15 days we will control all of Haiti," Philippe said in an interview with two foreign reporters in a Cap-Haitien hotel room as he swigged from a bottle of Prestige beer. As Philippe spoke, his fighters, clad in camouflage uniforms and black flak jacketts, sat by the hotel pool in lounge chairs, drinking beer and eating dishes of goat, chicken, rice and beans. Aristide, wildly popular when he became Haiti's first freely elected leader in 1990, has lost support since flawed legislative elections in 2000 that led international donors to freeze millions of dollars in aid. Opponents accuse him of breaking promises to help the poor, allowing corruption fueled by drug-trafficking and masterminding attacks on opponents by armed gangs — charges the president denies. The rebels say they have no political agenda beyond ousting Aristide, but the man who started the rebellion, Gonaives gang leader Buteur Metayer, on Thursday declared himself the president of liberated Haiti. The rebels have made no effort to install any kind of control, beyond halting a near-riot as people rushed to get food aid in Gonaives yesterday. In taking Cap-Haitien on Sunday, rebels said their force of about 200 fighters only met resistance at the city's airport, where Philippe said eight militant civilians loyal to President Jean-Bertrand Aristide were killed in a gunbattle. DAISY HILL: Lied Center parking spots may become less expensive do park over there unless they just go straight there," Wittenbach said. "Most people that I know will eventually find a spot here." CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A Like most parking lots on campus, the lots on Daisy Hill are oversold, and the Center's parking lot has always been an "overflow" lot intended for the residence halls, Hultine said. Of the 1,100 parking spaces allotted at the Center for residents or students with yellow permits, she said 300 to 388 of those spaces are often occupied by residents who have left their cars there overnight. Because those residents are parking there anyway, students with the new permits would not be taking spaces away from yellow or Park and Ride permit holders, but Hultine said she was not sure a lot of students would choose the option. "I think the problem is that most of the students that come into the housing system are new freshmen who really have no idea of how crowded the parking is up there," Hultine said. "So they may opt for the full $85 permit." "If people really felt like they were maybe empowered to make a choice about this, even if it's a small choice, then I think it's a great idea." Donna Hultine Director of KU parking There will be a window of opportunity for students to switch to the cheaper permit once they experience parking on Daisy Hill. Hultine said. She also said the loss in revenue from the discounted permits would have only a minor impact on the parking budget. "If we sell all 300, I think it might be about $10,000 in loss, which I think would be made up for in goodwill," Hultine said. "If people really felt like they were maybe empowered to make a choice about this, even if it's a small choice, then I think it's a great idea." - Edited by Ashley Arnold POTHOLES: Driving cautiously will help defend your car from holes CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A hour not to get a flat tire or throw out your alignment." Patel also said he has definitely noticed more potholes in Lawrence in recent weeks. He drives with caution after he received a flat tire two years ago because of a pothole. Dave Bach, owner of Das Autohaus, 1045 New Jersey St., said common damages from potholes included bending a car's suspension. Replacing expensive parts for suspension and realigning the car can cost consumers anywhere between several hundred to $1,000, depending mostly on the make and model of the car, as well as the severity of the damage. Bach said. Bach said he has seen a few more pothole-related car casualties this year than in the past because of the freezing and thawing. Tom Orzulak, street maintenance manager, agreed that the The number of potholes has overburdened the street maintenance crews trying to fix potholes all over Lawrence, ranging in size from a few inches to several feet in diameter. potholes have been tough on the city this year. Orzulak said the city can usually get a pothole fixed within 48 hours of learning its location. Because of the magnitude of the damage to Lawrence streets, the turnaround time for fixing the streets has been extended to three or four days. Patel would prefer to see the city get out faster to patch up the larger, more dangerous potholes. The city currently has no definite agenda about fixing pot holes other than doing so as quickly as possible. 841-PLAY 1029 Massachusetts The only advice Bach can offer in avoiding potentially spending thousands of dollars in repairs is driving defensively and cautiously. —Edited by Collin LaJoie We Buy, Sell & Trade USED & NEW Sports Equipment Where it's okay to drink like a sailor.

At locations across Lawrence, people gathered to watch what would happen to their favorite characters in the HBO network show's final broadcast after six seasons together in Sex and the City style. Kari Zimmerman, Topeka senior, said she and her friends regularly watched the Sunday show together. The show featured four women living the single life in New York. From shopping adventures to sexual experimentation, the women faced it all together and in great shoes. Past the stereotypical marrying age in the 20s, Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte balance work and heartbreaks but never miss their gabfests. The role of Carrie, the sex columnist and main character, renewed Sarah Jessica Parker's acting career and set the standard for New Yorker fashion, complete with Manolo Blahnik high-heeled shoes. Samantha, played by Kim Cattail, showed women how to embrace their sexuality like she did on a regular basis. Miranda, Cynthia Nixon's character, gave birth and voiced her realistic opinion whenever needed. With dreams of perfection, Charlotte, played by Kristin Davis, worked at an art gallery and was the sweet and slightly naive member of the foursome. With fans speculating about different endings, no one was sure what would happen. Would Carrie leave her beloved New York for Paris? Was true love in the cards for Samantha? And would Miranda truly learn how to love? What about Charlotte and her search for a child of her own? Zimmerman said everyone at her party was happy with the ending and thought the show finished in a great way. Kindra Myers, Lawrence junior, said Sex and the City affected her wallet. At another Sex and the City party in Lawrence, party-goers wiped away tears in between sips from cosmopolitans and reflected on the impact the show had on them. Jeff Brandsted/Kansan "I have money issues now." Myers said. "I have more shoes and more purses thanks to the show. I just want to be a generic version of them." "These women look for love," Rifenbark said, "but maybe what's more important is that they learn to love themselves in the process." At the same party, Kelly Rifenbark, Merriam junior, said the show taught her a lesson about love. Anna Hosek, Lawrence junior and host of the party Myers and Rifenbark attended, said she typically didn't have parties for the normal episodes but thought it was appropriate for the last one. "You see that your girls are going to be there for you no matter what." Rifenbark said. As the fabulous foursome made their final sashay down the street, each had seen their dramas come full circle and left their traditional gabfest in the only way appropriate - together. Rifenbark said the show empowered women. — Edited by Michelle Rodick Katie Manning, Granyer, Iowa, senior; Ali Cernich, Leawood senior; Lindsey Mackey, Olathe senior; Jackie Kaulentis, Chicago senior; Katie Crnkovich, Arlington, Texas, senior; Patti Godsey, Leawood senior; and Kari Zimmerman, Topeka senior, laughed as they watched the final episode of Sex In The City last night. The popular HBO series, starring Sarah Jessica Parker, ended yesterday after six seasons. The group regularly watched the show together every week. The 'Big' ending of HBO hit comedy The Associated Press NEW YORK — Torn between two lovers, Carrie Bradshaw returned to Mr. Big and New York, ditching Aleksandr in Paris, on yesterday's finale of Sex and the City. Her big decision settled a question this HBO comedy had been building toward for six seasons: What man, if any, would Carrie end up with? The satisfying answer: Carrie (series star Sarah Jessica Parker) chose the on-again/off-again businessman beau (Chris Noth) with whom she first struck sparks on the series' premiere. But first, she had to confront her mistake in leaving her world behind to move to Paris with Aleksaandr, the self-involved, neglectful artist played by Mikhail Baryshnikov. "I am someone who's looking for love, real life... can't live-without eachother love, and I don't think that love is here." Carrie tells him. Moments later, Big, who has come to his senses and raced across the ocean to bring her home, finds her, alone, in her hotel lobby. "It took me a really long time to get here," he says. "But I'm here. Carrie, he're the one." After nearly 100 romantic and often raunchy installments, Sex closed the book with a top-secret, much-hyped conclusion that made good on its promise to resolve the love life of New York sex columnist Carrie. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A WEIGHTLIFTER: Student hopes to compete in Chile this summer "I was in a comfortable position and didn't want to change," she said. "But I'm glad I did it. It's a lot more impressive to see me do these kind of life than just bench." The Skills Stoneback trains four days a week with McVey. McVey said Stoneback had a good foundation of physical strength when she began training because of her powerlifting experience in high school. The key was learning the technique of the snatch and the clean and jerk. She said it was hard to picture when she started that she would get this far, but her goals and repetitions helped her improve. "My body just knows what to do now," she said. "It's not about thinking anymore." "If you don't really believe you can lift that weight, then you're not going to put yourself under something that is one and a half times what you weigh," McVey said. Bulk Not Needed Thinking can get Stoneback into trouble when lifting, as the smallest negative thought could make her miss her lift. McVey said Stoneback has dramatically improved her mental toughness. It's not hard to pick Stoneback out from the group of weightlifters training in her coach's garage. She is the only girl. Perhaps even more striking than the gender difference is Stoneback's size. The first two things she hears after telling someone she does Olympic style weightlifting are "Do you really?" and "But you're so tiny." Stoneback said before she started training with McVey she weighed even less. Balancing Act "The average KU lineman would have to lift about 425 pounds in the clean and jerk to match what she did per pound of body weight," McVey said. Belonging Act Balancing almost twice her body weight over her head does not seem as hard as juggling the rest of her commitments. Stoneback, a biomechanical engineering major, often has a difficult time coordinating school with her training schedule and out-of-state meets. She often has to miss class to compete. Because she is participating in a sport that is not affiliated with the University of Kansas, it is hard to make professors understand why she was missing class and that it is a sport she is serious about, she said. Stoneback said she tried her best not to miss too much class. Her mother and father often have to buy plane tickets so she doesn't miss class to drive to long distance meets. Missing class isn't her only concern. Stoneback works part-time and is in the early stages of planning her May 29 wedding. Although the demands on her time are stressful, she handles the stress well. Training is her first priority. She said she has the opportunity now to succeed in weightlifting. "Sometimes I know she'll get stressed out," her mother said. "It worries me. But she's driven." Weights or Work? Stoneback is not sure how weightlifting will fit into her future. She does not think she will continue to compete or train as seriously after graduating. Her parents said they won't be "If this sport paid good money, I'd do it for a living," she said "I don't want to quit after college, but I will if it comes down to lifting or surviving." hearbroken if she chooses to stop competing after college, but they would like her continue. Her father wants her to take the chance while she is young and able to compete. "You can always postpone something," he said. "You can work and have a job the rest of your life." Stoneback said she doesn't know if she will make one of two spots for the 2008 Olympics. If she knew the Olympics were a definite possibility in the future, she said she would continue training. "I couldn't miss that opportunity," she said. — Edited by Joe Hartigan SHARK'S SURF SHOP HUGE SELECTION SUITS GUESS ROXY OCEAN PACIFIC VIX ESPIRIT L SPACE WOMEN'S SUITS! 813 MASS/841-8289 SHARK'S SURF SHOP HUGE SELECTION SUITS GUESS ROXY OCEAN PACIFIC VIX ESPIRIT L SPACE WOMEN'S SUITS! 813 MASS/841-8289 Louise's cocktails schooner club Sunday $1.50 wells Monday $3 premiums Tuesday $3 boulevard schooners Wednesday $1.50 wells Thursday $1.75 schooners Ask about our Football Tournament! 1009 Mass.

Kansas defeated Creighton 5-1. Baseball breaks losing streak By Shane Kucera skucera@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter The Kansas baseball team improved to 8-7-1 on the season with a 5-1 victory against the Creighton Bluejays (1-2) yesterday. It took Kansas batters only six pitches to score the first run of the game. Matt Baty, Ritchie Price, and Sean Richardson led off the game with three straight hits to take the lead that the Jayhawks would never surrender "The team hasn't won a game in two weeks, so this really helps." Ritch Price Coach this would help surrender. The 'Hawks gave impressive performances at the plate and on the mound. Senior Matt Trible was a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate with two RBI and one run scored. "The weather was good and we had a lot of fans here," Tribble said. KU Senior Ryan Knippschild turned in a season high eight-inning performance from the mound. Baty The left-hander allowed only six hits and one run while striking out five and walking none. "I like to pace myself," said Knippschild. "I threw a lot of sliders and changes because they're not a very good off-speed hitting team."

Everyone knew the Jayhawks had won. But the way Kansas' 90-89 defeat of Iowa State had gone, it was as if the crowd had to take a deep breath before it erupted to celebrate the Jayhawk victory. RAMS 23 In a game that featured a blown 17- point second-half lead, a last minute comeback and the first overtime of the season, emotions were flowing high on the Jayhawk bench. Annie Bernethy/Kansar the jayhawk better. "I think our effort was tremendous," Jayhawk forward Wayne Simien said. Just one week ago the Jayhawks were grumbling that lack of effort contributed to three straight conference road losses. Coach Bill Self benched forward Jeff Graves because of bad practice habits Graves because of our practice. On Saturday no one could accuse Graves of not trying hard. In just 22 minutes, Graves finished with six points, 12 rebounds and four assists. Wayne Simien, junior forward, and Iowa State's Jackson Vroman, senior forward, fought for a rebound after an Iowa State shot during Saturday's game. SEE WORK ON PAGE 6B Jayhawks must bring attitude Tonight's game will determine Kansas' shot at Big 12 title By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter It didn't look possible a week ago following an embarrassing 74-55 loss at Nebraska, but now, the Kansas Jayhawks think they have a shot to mess with Texas. with texas. The Jayhawks (17-6 overall, 9-3 Big 12 Conference) will attempt to end their three-game road losing skid tonight when they take on the No. 12 Texas Longhorns (19-4, 10-2) in Austin Texas. Both teams are coming off of emotional victories on Saturday. The Jayhawks overcame a late surge by the Iowa State Cyclones on their way to a 90-89 victory, and Texas outlasted its rival, Oklahoma, for a 68-63 victory on the road. the Axis "A win like this today will help us in Austin," Bill Self said after the Iowa State game. "Or at least it should." Self said that it "should" because winning consistently is something that his team still needs to prove it is capable of with just four games remaining before the Big 12 Tournament. Every Jayhawk who spoke with the media after Saturday's game spoke about how the overtime triumph would help the team after the low point it experienced just a week before in Nebraska. NASKA. Now, as Kansas is officially in the regular season's stretch run, the players who will lean most on the juniors, who have been to two Final Fours in two years, for leadership — Wayne Simien, Aaron Miles and Keith Langford. "I think it's key for our success for me, Keith and Wayne to be able to step up and make plays in crunch time," Miles said.

Jayhawks weather storm Kansas slips by Iowa State after game goes to overtime Erie Brewer By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter On the bench, the Kansas reserves chewed their fingernails to the cuticles. Bill Self's heart must have been beating 300 times per minute. The Kansas players on the floor perspired like they never have before. But in the end, all of the stress in the Jayhawks'90-89 overtime victory against the Iowa State Cyclones was just what they needed. "We needed to win a game where we really had to fight, bond and stick together," coach Self said. "I think this team needed to win a game that it wasn't supposed to win." Junior forward Wayne Simien shot free-throws all alone during the second half after a technical foul by Iowa State guard Jake Sullivan On paper, Kansas (17-6 overall, 9-3 Big 12 Conference) was an obvious favorite coming into the game, but late in the contest, disaster looked inevitable for the Jayhawks. Even though Iowa State (14-9, 5-7) won the first meeting on Jan. 31, the Cyclones had lost 22 consecutive Big 12 road games. Freshman guard J.R. Giddens enjoyed his finest half of the season in the first 20 minutes, scoring 15 of the Jayhawks' first 26 points. Those points were thanks to five three-point field goals in the first 10 minutes. Kansas never trailed in the first half, taking a comfortable 12-point lead into the locker room at halftime. "In the first half, he carried us, making shots when other guys weren't doing as well," junior guard Keith Langford said of Gidden's blistering first half performance. "He was spreading the zone out and that was real good for us." In the second half, Kansas kept Iowa State at bay, building its lead as large as 17 points at 49-32. Then, with the Iav hawks holding onto a 58-47 lead, the mood shifted. First, a technical foul was called on Cyclones senior guard Jake Sullivan following a spat with Kansas' Mike Lee.

Michael Phillips NBA LeBron James scores 22 as Knicks play sloppily NEW YORK — LeBron James scored 22 points in his first game at Madison Square Garden, where the fans turned on the home team yesterday as the New York Knicks fell behind to a 92-86 loss. Whether they were booing or chanting the name of the departed Keith Van Horn, the matinee crowd let it be known that they weren't happy seeing the Knicks play so poorly. The loss was the fourth in five games for New York, which now embarks on a four-game Western road trip. James didn't have his flashiest or most productive game, stepping aside to let center Zydrunas Ilgauskas carry most of the offensive load.

Emerging from the locker room, Kemp, known for rarely showing emotion, had glazed eyes. Twice she stopped in the middle of questions, holding back her emotion and frustration. Kansas could not overcome a late Texas A&M run, losing 69-63 on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. The jayhawks held a lead as large as nine with just 12 minutes remaining, but went more than seven minutes without a field goal, leaving the team with more questions than answers. "When you go out there and put in effort and still don't seem to get anything, it's kind of hard to figure out what's going on," Kemp said. "Normally, we get our spirits up somehow and try to get through it." It might be tougher for the team this time around. Kansas again experienced a disappointing loss in the Big 12 Conference, this one coming against last-place A&M. "We felt like we should have won this ballgame - could have "We felt like we should have won this ballgame could have won this ballgame." Lynette Woodard Interim women's basketball coach won this ballgame, "interim coach Lynette Woodard said. A lack of execution down the stretch doomed the Jayhawks, with the Aggies stealing away the game that Kansas had largely controlled. The first half featured eight ties and five lead-changes, with Kansas entering the break on top. Kemp finished a spin move between two defenders with a layup to give the Jayhawks a 31-30 lead, and later added a free throw to give Kansas a two-point edge at the half. Freshman Lauren Ervin sparked the Jayhawks in the second half, starting a run with her play—and her emotion. After she failed to gather an offensive rebound, Ervin raised her arm above her head and swatted the ball away from an Aggie. The 6-foot-4 forward gathered it in and connected on a layup, drawing a foul and yelling out her Kansas fed off the energy. satisfaction. After a pair of free throws by A&M's Lynn Classen, the Jayhawks scored the next three baskets, highlighted by junior guard Larisha Graves' jump pass to Kemp underneath for two. Sophomore forward Tamara Ransburg scored off an inbounds play two minutes later to make it 44-35 with 12:32 remaining, but it would be Kansas' last field goal for more than seven minutes. "There was a stretch there where we had point-blank layups, we missed free throws, and we lost a couple of defensive assignments," Woodard said. "We got punished for it." The Aggies capitalized, using an 8-0 run ending with a Tamea Scales' lay-in to regain a 50-48 lead. Kansas had the advantage momentarily at 53-51, but A&M bench player Mindy Garrison provided the dagger. The sophomore guard hit three-point shots on consecutive possessions — from the same spot on the left side of the arc — to boost the lead to four. A&M guard Toccara Williams made the lead stand. The senior scored eight of her 21 points with 2:43 left to hold off any possible Jayhawk run. "Toccara Williams did a great job with their senior leadership," Woodard said. "We had shut her down pretty good in the first half, but she came back strong at the end." Ransburg continued to thrive in her role off the bench for Kansas. The forward scored 15 points to go along with 10 rebounds in 24 minutes of play. Coming off the bench the last three games, she has led the team in scoring in all three contests, averaging 16.3 points per game. Kemp and Graves contributed 13 and 12 points, respectively, in the loss. Kansas, at 9-15 and 2-11 in the Big 12, will travel tomorrow to Colorado. Now in 11th place, Kansas is looking to stay out of the Big 12 cellar, with Texas A&M holding that spot with a 2-12 conference mark. Woodard said she thought the Jayhawks had at least one win left in them. "Hopefully we'll get one, if not the next game, the one after." Woodard said. "We've got to keep learning from the mistakes we're making." SAS 12 —Edited by Collin LaJoie Tamara Ransburg, sophomore forward, blasted through the Texas A&M defense to make a two-point shot. Ransburg scored the most points on the women's basketball team, 15. Despite its effort, the team lost 63-69. Abbv Tillerv/Kansan Softball team returns victorious, readies for home games By Dana Silverman dsilverman@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Expecting warm weather and sunny skies for its Southern California tournament, the Kansas softball team was greeted instead by cool, rainy weather. However, the sun shone on the Jayhawks as they rallied together to come from behind in the first game of the tournament. Down 4-0 against University of California Riverside in the fifth inning, Nettie Fierros, sophomore infielder, followed senior outfielder Sylvia Pfeiffer's single and sophomore infielder Destiny Frankenstein's double with a single of her own to score her two teammates. The pinch hit brought the Jayhawks within two. Not letting the rain slow them down, the Jayhawks scored two more runs in the sixth inning to force extra innings. Jessica Moppin, sophomore infielder. P Humphreys led off the inning with a single. Nicole Washburn, freshman first baseman and outfielder, reached base on a fielder's choice and the two girls advanced bases because of an opponent error. Pfeiffer followed with another big single to tie the game at four runs. As international tiebreaker rules state, a runner was placed on second in the eighth inning. UCR was unable to score with two on base, giving the Jayhawks another chance to score. Moppin advanced teammate Sandy Smith, senior infielder, on a sacrifice, then Washburn was able to score Smith. Kassie Humphreys, freshman pitcher, struck out ten batters and allowed only four hits in eight innings as she pitched the win. "I saw a side of Humphreys I really liked today," coach Tracy Bunge said in a news release. "She was emotionally juiced and responded well, dominating the last three innings." Frankenstein and Pfeiffer had strong swings to combine for half of the lavyhawks' ten hits. "It was also great to see Pfeiffer and Frankenstein swing the bat more consistently. It was a defining game for us and we handled the adversity." Bunge said. with another big swing, Pfeifer put Kansas on the board in the second game with a home run in the third inning. Serena Set- tlemier, junior pitcher, followed with another home run in the fourth inning — her sixth of the season. Settlemier sat out last season with an arm injury and has come back strong leading the team in batting averages at .345. Kansas added a run in the bottom of the sixth on a single by Settlemer to put the 'Hawks up 3-0. Senior pitcher Kara Pierce struggled in the seventh inning and gave up a two-run home run to opponent Central Florida to bring UCF within one run. Despite a strong offensive effort in the bottom of the seventh by UCF, the Jayhawks held on for a 3-2 victory. Pierce was awarded with the win. "It was an ugly win, but we'll take it." Bunge said. The remainder of the games were canceled because of weather conditions. The Jayhawks were also scheduled to face Cal-Poly and host University of California Santa Barbara and No.2 Cal. The Jayhawks arrived back in Lawrence with a 9-4 record. They will be defending an eight game winning streak as they host Nebraska and Utah March 6 and 7 for their first home games of the season. —Edited by Collin LaJoie Blueprints Leadership Conference BLUEPRINTS LICENSE FOR COMMON USE EXPIRAL 30 MONTHS WHO: All KU students who want to enhance their leadership skills and make great contacts!

But the decision to go with Roy Oswalt came as no surprise to the ex-Yankees. Oswalt, one of three holdovers from last year's rotation along with Wade Miller and Tim Redding, is one of the best young pitchers in baseball. But he was hampered by chronic groin injuries in 2003 and had surgery in the offseason to correct the problem. "Jimy and I talked about it a couple of weeks ago and that's how we talked about it," Clemens said. "To me, all the guys are deserving. We've all had our opportunities to start opening day." Clemens and Pettite were the Astros' two big offseason acquisitions, but Williams decided to go with Oswalt against Barry Bonds and the San Francisco Giants in Houston on April 5. "He has come through the (farm) system and he was injured ... three times with his groin, and basically could have packed it in," Williams said. "He could have said, 'I'm injured, I need an operation, I might hurt myself if I try to continue pitching." "You could put their names in a hat and pull anyone out. I'm confident with any one of those guys and I think most of the team is." Pettite will go second in the rotation, followed by his pal Clemens. He would know. Miller, the club's opening day starter in 2002, will pitch fourth, and Redding is No.5. Brad Ausmus Catcher "He's got a lot of pitching over there," Yankees manager Joe Torre said in Tampa. Setting up the starting rotation two weeks before exhibition games begin gives the pitchers time to prepare their throwing routines in February, a luxury Pettitte said he and Clemens never had in New York. "Usually that's top secret where we come from," said Pettitte, who shares famously rigorous workout habits with Clemens. "For us, this is great." Oswalt, a 19-game winner in 2002, was on the disabled list three times last season. But he returned to the mound and won four games down the stretch as Houston's bid to catch the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central fell just short. "If I go first or I go third it doesn't matter," Oswalt said. "It's an honor, so of course it's special, but I don't see (the others) behind me. I see them with me." Despite constant pain and limited action, Oswalt, 26, went 10-5 with a 2.97 ERA in 21 starts last year. His 2.92 ERA the last three seasons is better than either Clemens or Pettitte. Williams' decision was partly to reward Oswalt, and to position the left-handed Pettittie between the team's top right-handers. "I basically thought that way after the season, before these other two big pitchers came in," Williams said. "But we're certainly happy to have them." Williams told the pitchers of his final decision just hours after pitches and catchers underwent physicals and prepared for the first workout of spring training. Pertite signed a $31.5 million, three-year deal with the Astros in December. That helped convince his friend and fellow Houston-area resident, Clemens, to end a brief retirement and join the Astros for $5 million this season. The signings have led to the most anticipated season in recent memory for Astros players and fans. "You look across the (locker) room and there are two legends wearing the same uniform as Domestic "You could put their names in a hat and pull any one out," he said.

As for their first day of workouts with the Astros, Pettitte said everything felt fairly normal except going through NLstyle bunting and baserunning drills. He talked about getting schooled in the art of sliding and bunting, things the Yankees didn't exactly stress on reporting day.

For one thing, Saturday's game was the first time in his senior season the he did not start for Texas Tech. For another, the accomplishment was not even announced to the home crowd when it happened. And for yet another, Emmett was not made available to the media after he led the No. 21 Red Raiders past Texas A&M 76-60 while making history. Unhappy with how his star senior had played in a loss to Colorado, Texas Tech coach Bob Knight kept him on the bench the first eight minutes. Needing just four points to surpass the record of 2,097 by Collison, Emmett got the mark with a forceful dunk and finished with 18 points. But even his teammates were surprised the crowd was not told of the record. "I really thought that it was kind of, what's the word, odd," said forward Mikey Marshall. "I would have figured that being at home they would have announced it and let everyone know and made a big deal out of it. I wasn't sure if the fans knew or not. "Our team knew. I don't know, it was kind of weird." But it was something of a weird day of Big 12 basketball. The weirdest of all was the way the vaunted home PETER S. court advantage almost evaporated. Three home teams lost — Baylor, Kansas State and Oklahoma. Two more — No. 7 Oklahoma State and No. 21 Kansas — went into overtime before beating back underdogs. So maybe the Red Raiders, the only easy winner among six home teams in the Big 12, were simply acting naturally. Knight saw nothing strange in not letting the crowd know of Emmett's achievement. "That's what you guys (media) get paid for," he said. "You announce it. It wasn't a 100-yard dash. He didn't set a record for the 100-yard dash. If we announced that, we need to announce everybody who's given him an assist, everybody who's set a screen for him." Emmett's owning the record, Knight said, is "a neat thing for a kid to have." "But what it means to me is there's a lot of kids who worked like hell to get him the ball and screen for him to get open. This is a team game." With four games left in the Big 12 season, Oklahoma State (21-2, 11-1) continues to sit atop the standings. Joey Graham scored 30 of his 36 points after halftime, helping the Cowboys hold off Nebraska 87-83 in overtime. Texas edges out Oklahoma Sooners' shooting problems continue in five-point defeat The Associated Press NORMAN, Okla. — Brandon Mouton scored 25 points and Royal Ivye hit a pair of free throws with 11.6 seconds to play that sent No. 11 Texas past Oklahoma 68-63 on Saturday night. over its hated border rival. Mouton missed a free throw seconds before, but Jason Klotz wrestled away the rebound from two Sooners and P.J. Tucker scored on a putback, sealing the win for the Longhorns (19-4, 10-2 Big 12 Conference). Texas kept its hold on second place in the Big 12 and completed its second-straight season sweep Oklahoma (16-7, 6-6) fell to seventh place in the conference and lost at home for the fourth time in 52 games. The Sooners have lost two straight to Texas in Norman. Mouton sparked a 15-2 run midway through the second half, turning a 46-40 deficit into a 55-48 lead with 6:56 to play. During the spurt, Mouton coolly nailed a 3-pointer, soared through the lane for a two-handed dunk, made a pair of free throws and then hit another 3 from the corner. The senior guard's final 3-pointer effectively quieted the sellout crowd of 11,785 at the Lloyd Noble Center. Mouton was the only Long- horn to score in double figures. Oklahoma nearly doubled its point total from an embarrassing 66-37 loss in Austin two weeks ago, but still didn't have enough offense to keep up with the Big 12's top-scoring team. The Sooners went more than six minutes without a field goal during one second-half stretch and shot just 36 percent — about average for the league's worst-shooting team. freshman Drew Lavender led Oklahoma with 18 points, and Jason Detrick had 14.

Following the call, the Cyclones reeled off a 20-3 run during the next eight minutes. KANSAS 34 KANSAS 15 In that stretch, the Jayhawks went one-for-14 from the field, with the only field goal coming by way of a dunk by freshman forward David Padgett. Following the Iowa State spurt, Kansas trailed 67-62 with just less than three minutes remaining in regulation. The run was ended, appropriately, by another Giddens three-pointer. The freshman hit seven treys on the evening and finished with a career-high 24 points, along with seven rebounds. Then, trailing 72-69 with 30 seconds remaining, Langford canned a three-pointer to tie the game and force overtime. "That was the biggest shot anyone's made for us this year," Self said. In overtime, the Jayhawks' junior quartet of Langford, forward Wayne Simien, guard Mike Lee and guard Aaron Miles scored 15 of the Jayhawks' 18 Kansas forwards Christian Moody and J.R. Giddens battled Iowa State forward Jackson Vroman for position during a Cyclones' first-half free throw. points en route to their second straight victory. "When it went into overtime, I really felt we were going to win the game," Langford said. "We had some momentum. All the little things were in our favor." Those little things included one of the loudest crowds at Allen Fieldhouse all season, as well as adrenaline. Keith Langford had 17 points, and turned the ball over just once. The added energy was keyed by outstanding individual performances. More importantly, Langford's constant penetration to the basket drew defenders and opened up shots for his teammates on the perimeter. Also, Kansas' big men — Simien, Padgett and senior forward Jeff Graves — complemented Giddens' and Langford's offensive displays. "I was telling him the whole second half, 'when they go in, look for me baby, I'm right here,'" Giddens said. "He found me, he did what he did, I did what I did, and it was a good thing." Simien recorded his eighth double-double of the season with 20 points and 14 rebounds. Padgett and Graves combined for 15 points and 17 rebounds The energy provided by Graves was something fans did not expect so soon from the senior after he was benched last Sunday at Nebraska because of a lack of effort in practice. For his teammates, it was a welcome and expected improvement. "J.G. stepped up big," Gildens said. "He hit some big free throws, got some big rebounds and played some good D. I told him that's what we need to do." Now the Jayhawks can knock one of the schools off their revenge checklist. However, more impressive than the payback is that Kansas experienced a tough, but successful game before facing No. 12 Texas tonight. "They were getting all the rebounds and just kicking us all over the court," Giddens said. "But people made shots, people made free throws, we got a Wand they got a long ride home, just like we had up there." — Edited by Nikki Nugent ATTITUDE: Hawks need to stay out of foul trouble tonight against the conference's deepest team CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B One concern for Kansas tonight will be staying out of foul trouble. The Jayhawks need to have as many players as they can on hand at all times because Texas is the conference's deepest team, with eight players who could start for most teams in the country. Texas is also looking to end any hopes Kansas has of winning a Big 12 regular season title. Oklahoma State is still in first place at 11-1, just a game ahead of Texas. If Kansas wins, it would be tied with Texas for second, but Texas could hinder Kansas' opportunity for the title if it comes out on top tonight. On Kansas' side is the reaffirmation in its past two games that the offense is still able to go on "I know we have to come out and play harder. That's the only chance we have of winning this ball game." Keith Langford Junior guard scoring spurts. The Jayhawks are 16-0 this season when they score more than 70 points, but now must bring the attitude to match the offense to win this heavyweight bout. "I know we have to come out and play harder," Langford said. "That's the only chance we have of winning this ball game." Edited by Cindy Yeo WORK: Jayhawks happy with home victory, face road test tonight CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B He wanted one rebound so bad he had to out-muscle Simien for it in the second half. "He wants every shot to come off and for him to be able to get it," junior guard Aaron Miles said. "He's attacking the ball, and I think we need that." Freshman guard J.R. Giddens, who had been hampered by an injured foot last week, brought emotion and effort back into the lineup with six three-pointers in the first half. It was just one shy of the record for three in one half, set by former Jayhawk Jeff Boschee. He finished the game with seven three-pointers and 24 total points. Giddens said the emotion of the game was higher than usual, but that was what he expected. "Every night, since we're Kansas, we get people's best shot," he said. "You can't ever call it quits with a team." Self said after the game he was happy with the outcome, and also a little relieved. It was only the second game the Jayhawks had played that was decided by less than five points, and the first they had won. The Jayhawks don't have much time to relish the victory as they prepare to play in Austin, Texas, against No. 12 Texas tonight. Giddens said the close victory should play a part in being able to defeat the Longhorns tonight. "The heart that we had to have tonight to fight, we can just take that down there to Texas," Giddens said. If Kansas can do just that and claim the victory, it would be tied for second place with Texas in the Big 12 Conference. If the Jayhawks don't win, lack of heart and effort probably won't be the reason. For now, the aftermath of a long, exhilarating victory is still fresh in the minds of the 17-6 Jayhawks. "That's as much fun as I've had in the fieldhouse." Self said.

By Anna Clovis aclovis@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Students lobby in Topeka On State Education Day, students gather to lobby their legislators on issues related to higher education. This year the goals were to show both their support and disapproval of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' budget. State Education Day draws various Kansas students to share grievances about budget for schools The six Regents universities represented at the capital were the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Wichita State University, Emporia State University, Pittsburg State University and Fort Hayes State University. Five of the six universities have passed resolutions in their student senates that support the intent of Sebelius' proposed budget, but disapprove of the methods of using callbacks on restricted fees and tuition revenue. JACK WILLIAMS These callbacks would take money from Shuart fee-based programs such as Recreation Services and Watkins Memorial Health Center in order to fund mandated salary increases for faculty and staff. Blake Shuart, Topeka senior and Student Senate legislative director, said the Regents universities working together was mutually beneficial. "It gets our voice heard across a large body," Shuart said, "and the students participating get to learn more about the legislative process." Twelve KU students attended the event, Shuart said. about the legislative process This is not the first time Shuart has represented the University at the capital. As the chairman of the Student Legislative Awareness Board, Shuart has coordinated special lobbying events both at the capital and at the University. He said the extra effort benefited the University. While other universities had a core group of students staying from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., the KU students came in varing shifts throughout the day. "Every other lobbyist gets their chance to be here and lobby for their cause," Shuart said. "The more we get to the capital, the better relationship we have." Lawrence was close enough to Topeka for the students to drive in when they could, Shuart said. Shuart said about 60 students from the University and other Regents universities were at the capital yesterday. Texas hold'em Tyson Moore, student legislative director at K-State, was one of the coordinators of the event. He said he made 160 appointments for students with legislators.

Last year, students could get help for their library needs at other desks. The periodical desk could find magazines. The reference desk would show students the right encyclopedia to use for a research paper. Because library administration closed the desks and shipped all of their duties to the circulation desk last fall, students now have only one place to go for help. The change was intended to streamline students' search processes, said Bill Myers, director of Library Services. Since the change, it's been easier for students to find materials. Myers said. While the changes at the library may help students approaching the circulation desk, the consolidation of services has frustrated those behind it, said Sarah Couch, head of access services. Couch supervises and helps organize duties at the circulation desk and says that her workload has increased since the closing.

The nominees are Elizabeth Franklin, Cedar Falls, Iowa junior; Shannon Portillo, Lake Quivira senior; and Christopher Wiles, Leavenworth senior. John Gronbeck-Tedesco, director of the University Honors Program, said these students had demonstrated the excellence necessary to be considered for this award. "They have a record of volunteering at the local level; they have a record of mainstream political activism," Gronbeck-Tedesco said. The scholarships are worth up to $26,000 and are awarded each year to college students around the country who are preparing for leadership in public service. Of the 600 candidates named nationwide, a committee will select 200 to be finalists. Once the finalists are named, regional panels will reduce that number to about 75 or 80. Criteria for earning the scholarship include leadership potential, intellectual ability and the likelihood of making a difference.

STATE Multiple false security alarms could lead to prosecutions KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Fed up with the time wasted responding to thousands of false security alarm calls each year, city prosecutors have started taking the worst violators to court. Five homeowners appeared last week in municipal court for ignoring repeated notices to pay fines the city imposes on home and business owners who rack up more than three false alarms in a year. The cases mark the first time the city has resorted to prosecution. But it won't be the last time, said Julie Bahr-Kostelac, the alarm coordinator for the city's police department. As many as 20 more residents or businesses are expected to be charged with violating the ordinance within the next month, she said. Responding to a false alarm typically takes two officers off the street for about an hour because they must check out the property and fill out paperwork, said city prosecutor Tony Russo.

By Rupal Gor rgor@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Nebraska hopes dean stays Eight journalism faculty and students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln led a march on Friday to keep their journalism dean at the university. Will Norton Jr. is the only candidate for journalism dean at the University of Kansas. Faculty and students met with him last Monday when he visited the University. Apparently he is one great catch, because faculty and students are fighting to keep him from accepting an offer as dean at the University. The group marched to the Chancellor Harvey Perlman's office that afternoon to ask him to help keep Norton at Nebraska. "There are a lot of faculty at this college who would like to keep Will Norton here." John Bender University of Nebraska associate professor John Bender, associate professor of news-editorial at Nebraska, joined the march. He said he wanted Norton to stay because he had been an effective dean and fundraiser for 14 years. "We wanted to let our chancellor know that there are a lot of faculty at this college who would like to keep Will Norton here," Bender said. Rick Alloway, assistant professor of broadcasting at Neb raska, said Norton was a tremendous asset to the school. He said the march to the chancellor's office was their way of making sure they had their two cents in asking the dean to stay. He said the school would be disappointed if he left Nebraska but that the school would understand. "If it's best for him, we'll be supportive." Alloway said. Bender said it would not be easy for Nebraska to replace someone who has put as much effort into the journalism school like Norton. "If he leaves, we'll come down to Lawrence and finish what Quantrill started," he said. "No, I'm just kidding. We will wish him and Kansas the best." British vocal coach Wade lends his voice to Shakespeare Wade, former head of voice at the Royal Shakespeare Company Edited by Cindy Yeo University of Kansas theater students will be able to get a taste of the acting scene across the Atlantic this week when distinguished British vocal coach Andrew Wade visits to share his technique. By Marc Ingber mingber@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Wade, who has worked with in Stratford-on-Avon, England will be at the University all this week. His appearances include a brownbag lunch, a lecture and theater class visits. Wade was invited to come to the University by Paul Meier, who is in charge of the University Theatre's voice and diction program. The two met at Rosebruford College in London about 20 years ago. some of the top directors in England including Alan Ayckbourn, Peter Gill and Sam Mendes, director of American Beauty, said he was looking forward to teaching the students different ways to interpret Shakespeare. "So much is written about how Shakespeare should be done, and we get the idea that there is only one definitive way for it to be done." he said. He said he was planning to examine some of the Bard's most famous plays with students. Students were taught that Shakespeare was a genius, but they never got to pick apart why he was a genius, Wade said. Julia Hardin, Lawrence senior and theater voice major, said that although she has had some Shakespeare training, she was looking forward to working with someone whose expertise was Shakespearian acting. She said with Wade's instruction, she would be able to take what she had already learned in class and expand on it. Meier said Wade's greatest strength was helping actors interpret Shakespeare. The highlight of Wade's visit will be his lecture this afternoon at the Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall, where he will bring up a few theater students on the stage to work on their vocal technique. Meier said that Wade would help students interpret a piece of Shakespearian text that they select themselves. He also said that students looking forward to working with Wade shouldn't think of it as a cake walk. "They should be on their feet, in comfortable clothes, and ready to work with the man," he said. Edited by Cindy Yeo Cyclones change plans after unauthorized man boards plane By Neeley J. Spellmeier nspellmeier@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Iowa State men's basketball team was forced to drive back to Iowa instead of flying after Saturday's game in Allen Fieldhouse because an unauthorized man boarded their plane. The man had boarded the plane before the team had reached the airport. Because of Federal Aviation Administration rules, a plane can not take off after an unauthorized person has been on board until it has been searched. Mike Green, associate director of media relations at Iowa State, said the team was not present while the man was on the plane. The players arrived shortly after, only to learn they would have to wait. Unsure of how long it would be before they would be able to leave, they decided to drive back to Iowa. The man was thought to have been in the terminal since before 6:30 p.m., when the airport is still open to the public, said Debbie Van Saun, assistant city manager and airport manager. It is not unusual for people to be at the airport because it is a public building, she said. At some point the man went out onto the apron, a restricted area. A sign marks the area as "Authorized Personnel Only." The man boarded the plane, according to the police report, and the staff and flight crew asked him what he was doing, but he had no explanation for being on the plane. He then left the plane on his own. The Lawrence Police Department was contacted, and it then called in the Kansas Highway Patrol to search the plane with two of its canines. Sgt. Mike Pattrick said the canines and the officers did not find anything that had been tampered with or any objects that may have been placed on the airplane. Lawrence police arrested Gary Patterson, a 28-year-old Lawrence man, on charges of criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct. -Edited by Joe Hartigan News NOW ABE & JAKE'S 8 EAST SIXTH STREET • LAWRENCE, KS LANDING For More Information 841-5855 www.abejakes.com FAT TUESDAY TONIGHT HUGE MARDI GRAS PARTY! $2 HURRICANES Win a Trip for 2 to the Big Easy!

Anyone who has ever taken a class at the University, walked across campus or simply enjoyed the spring tulips in front of Strong Hall has benefited from the services classified workers provide. They are the custodians, landscapers, maintenance personnel and all other support services workers. These 1,500 members are as important to the campus as anyone who works or studies at the University. Without them, there would be a OURVIEW The classified workers at the University deserve respect for the work they do on campus. Their work affects everyone. hill, but not really a campus. On Feb. 10 a group of classified employees from the University of Kansas and other Regents schools, including Kansas State University, lobbied the Legislature for a 7.5 percent pay increase. According to Kathy Jansen, president of the KU Classified Workers Senate, the increase is meant to make up for inadequate raises in recent years. Their case is solid. Since 1981, their wages have grown at about half the rate of inflation. Jansen said some entry-level classified workers were below the poverty level. Jansen said classified workers expected to get the 3 percent pay increase Gov. Kathleen Sebelius proposed for state employees. But, she said, the chances of getting the 7.5 percent increase they wanted were slim. Students, faculty and staff may not be able to help these workers in their fight to cross the poverty line but we can do a better job of acknowledging their struggle and their work. How we treat the people we depend upon most is a character test those in the University community face daily. Don't ignore the custodian mopping the floor or the landscaper making campus the spectacular sight it is. The next time you encounter classified workers, show your appreciation. They deserve a pay increase, but if that fails, we can at least give them a respect increase. ON POLITICS Main goal remains; remove president In the past few weeks, there has been a lot of discussion about the Democratic COMMENTARY Anna D. Gregory opinion@kansan.com candidates. You may be wondering why all this politicalrucks is important. There is only one reason folks: Bush sucks and he has got to go. In the last four years, the price of higher education has skyrocketed. We have felt the effects of this every time we write a check to the University of Kansas. Under Bush, education as a whole has been neglected. Not only are college students being priced out of an education, but the Bush administration's policy for elementary education is not working. The No Child Left Behind Act created standards that most struggling schools, the same ones the act was designed to help, cannot live up to. How are students supposed to get better test scores if they don't have the books and other resources they need to learn? The American economy — the one thing a Republican is supposed to be good at — has failed under President Bush. The deficit is higher now than when Bush was elected in 2000. More than 2 million manufacturing jobs have been lost since Bush took office. Corporations are setting up shop off-shore in order to avoid paying American taxes. What has Bush done about it? He certainly hasn't stopped it. And where are the jobs that Bush promised us this year? We only got a fraction of the 100,000 new jobs Bush said he could produce. There is no question that Bush has created a tax policy that benefits the rich. Bush has consistently made deals that benefit corporations over the average American. Case in point — health care. Bush's health care plan will give more money to HMOs and drug companies without giving your parents or mine the health care that they need to survive. And finally, our president misled the American people about going to war. He told us Iraq was a threat to the United States because it had weapons of mass destruction. One year later, still no weapons, but we have American troops dying every day in Iraq. And for what? I won't argue that Saddam Hussein wasn't a bad guy, and that the Iraqis suffered under his leadership, but we didn't go into Iraq because we cared about the Iraqis. We went because we were scared from Sept. 11. We went because we wanted to protect ourselves. Now we know that I'm Running. NADER in '09 I'm Running. NADER in '09 WooHoo! © DANIEL KATHRYNSON WooHoo! © KIM SUN 2013/11/18 Iraq did not have the capability to attack the United States with nuclear weapons, nor did Iraq have the kind of ties Bush led us to believe it did with Al Qaeda or Osama bin Laden. America, we were lied to. President Bush needs to be kicked out of office. Bush has neglected to solve the education problem in America. His budget and tax policy have hurt the economy, instead of helping it. Most importantly, our country is fighting a war Zach Stinson for The University Daily Kansan because Bush did not tell the American people the truth. It is time for a change. Gregory is a Topeka senior in history and political science. PERSPECTIVE America's freedom foundation crumbling On the Fourth of July, D-Day, Veterans Day, and during Black History Month, we are reminded of the gift of freedom and of those before us who fought hard for it. GUEST COMMENTARY Unfortunately, in these secularized times, many of us have forgotten what true freedom really is and have replaced it with our desires. A strong influence has been the phrase, "It's a free country, so I can do what I want." P. B. James R. Arruda opinion@kansan.com If I were to tell you that there were forces in our country that sought to control your decisions, your actions, and the very way you think toward their own selfish ends, you would be disturbed, perhaps even outraged. We are a nation founded with the goal of freedom in mind, and we should rightfully oppose those who would seek to take it away. Unfortunately, those aforementioned forces have succeeded more than you can imagine. These forces are the people who say true freedom lies in doing whatever you want, and whatever makes you feel good. It lies especially in the media that diffuses those ideas throughout our culture. Contrary to the "It's a free country" notion, we are truly slaves to the culture, and we have accepted it willingly under the false pretense of freedom. Johann Goethe said, "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." We believe we are free to act as we please, but we have become nothing more than slaves to the chemicals in our heads. The feelings from a sexual encounter, the toxins in alcohol, and narcotics are prime examples of our desire to be "free," but we have been duped into thinking we made the choice to do it. You may not realize it, but someone convinced you in some way to behave that way. In the beginning we had the ability to make the choice, but once you have made the choice you lose your freedom. The media only reinforces your lack of choice by telling you that sex is OK, as long as it's "protected." They tell you to do what they want you to do, and then they give you excuses for doing it. History provides a lesson as well. The Roman society eventually crumbled (among other things) because they sought to find pleasure in violence, debauchery and drunkenness. Do not become like the Romans. We have the ability to be much more. Society has worked hard to strip away your freedom, and tell you that you still have it. It tells you to make your own choices when it has made them for you already. During Black History Month when we honor those who fought to slavery and promote the values of true freedom, let us not forget what true freedom is. Do not be slaves to the synapses in your mind, do not be a slave to the secularized culture of the world. True freedom is the ability to stand against those who would seek to control you, and we are controlled. Use your true freedom; it's why we have it.

Fewer than 50 opponents of the Iraq war demonstrated outside the hotel where Cheney spoke. But among the GOP faithful inside, Cheney found a far more receptive audience as he boasted that Saddam Hussein will never brutalize his people, support terrorists or threaten the United States. In Wichita, the event met its goal of $250,000, said U.S. Rep. Todd Tidight (R-Kan.). Democratic allegations of profiteering in Iraq by oil services giant Halliburton, a company which Cheney once headed, have become more frequent in recent weeks. Opponents have also cited the vice president's frequent claims that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Others have questioned the health of the 63-year-old vice president. Still, Tahrt told reporters after the event that "Cheney brings a lot to the table" for Republicans. Cheney last visited Wichita in July 2002, when he campaigned in the state for Republican candidates. The Associated Press miss the daily student contact she got from her job. While it was a struggle for her to leave, she acknowledged the toll the job could take. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A CARR: Coordinator leaves for Mary Kay position The Fraternity and Sorority Life staff is responsible for advising a population of just under 4,000 students, said Danny Kaiser, director of Center for Campus Life. He said this residential population was similar to the one supervised by the Department of Student Housing, but there was a large contrast in the number of staff members who share that responsibility. "Being a campus administrator can be pretty emotionally and physically draining at times," she said. "We're only talking about two paid positions, versus however many the Department of Student Housing has, for about the same number of students," he said. "Angie's done an outstanding job while she's been here," he said. Coordinating all of the advising and educational programming for the greek community is a challenging job, said Kaiser. It includes acting as a liaison to the international and national organizations, alumni, chapter advisers, house corporation board presidents, and house directors. Carr has been a mentor to members of the greek community and played an integral role in its successes, said Billy Santoro, president of the Interfraternity Council. The Scottsdale, Ariz., junior said Carrem embodied what it took to be a Greek adviser and whoever took her place would have big shoes to fill. "She's touched every person in the greek community in some way, whether they know it or not," Santoro said. "I think when she's gone, people will realize even further how big of an impact she's had." Kaiser said the search for Carr's successor would take place over the course of this semester. "We have a premier greek community here," Carr said. "It's time for someone else to come in and enjoy that and bring a new dynamic because that's only healthy." — Edited by Cindy Yeo LIBRARY: Employees quit because of workload CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A desk have experienced the same workload increases, she said, and the heavier workloads have hurt employees' ability to assist students. Behind the circulation desk Josh Magariel tries to assist students as best he can with his increased workload. He says the new process can be intimidating for students. "Service is so rushed, we can't really help people find what they need," the Olathe junior said. The workload became so heavy and the stress so intense that Magarial decided to leave the library at the end of this semester. "For what we're getting paid, it's not worth it," he said. For Emily Newcomer, a former desk assistant at Watson Library, the workload quickly became too much to handle. Newcomer, WaKeeney senior, worked on the four floor of Watson at the help desk. When the other desks closed down, she moved to circulation to help with the new duties. Suddenly, Newcomer needed to know how to check students in and out, rent laptops, manage book loans, find holds, and other duties at the circulation desk. In December, she quit the library. Couch said the change had the potential to make finding materials more difficult for students because the help desk, where Newcomer worked, isn't staffed during all of the library's hours. The help desk shows students where to find some periodicals and microfilm, but many of those materials have been moved downstairs to circulation. Newcomer said although the new duties were a struggle for her, she received constant positive feedback from students. "The efficiency was much better — for the students, at least," she said. And for student employees who haven't worked through the changes, the new workload doesn't feel terrible, Joe Morgan, who works at the desk, said. "From my experience, it's not that bad here," the Anthony junior said. Although Magariel is quitting. "There are thousands of other worse jobs I could have," he said. In a department that employs between 250 and 300 students every semester, it's typical for some employees to complain, especially after a change in their work duties, Myers said. he knows life at the library could be worse. Couch hopes that as time passes, the new duties will become more routine, so stressed student employees can better deal with the information, the workload—and the lines. Edited by Joe Hartigan All six Regents schools agree on budget issue CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A student government leaders. He said that he received e-mails from students interested in attending the event and thought students were behind the resolutions the universities passed in their senates. EDUCATION: Students from colleges other than the six Regents universities also joined the effort. Melissa Hillebrand was there to lobby on behalf of Hutchison Community College. She said it was important to show that her college had different needs than the other universities. "The only way they are going to know what our concerns are is by students coming out here and meeting with them," Hillebrand said. Not everyone was sure if legislators would pay attention to the students. Brandy Mathews, student lobbyist from Emporia State University, said she didn't know if the legislators would take a hint, but the fact that all six Regents universities agreed on this meant something. -Edited by Collin LaJoie ZI Zing Into Spring Angela Adams "Kenga" Bag $85.00 BOUX www.boux.com 541.485.4891 Kansas Silent Film Festival, Inc.

The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics might propose an idea to the NCAA that could limit the participation of freshman athletes. Freshman athletes might get benched By Joe Bant jbant@kansan.com kansan staff writer The notion of freshman ineligibility is not unheard of in the NCAA. not unmatched in the McDonald's All-American culture of today, but until 1968, no student-athlete could compete at the varsity level as a freshman. Freshman football and basketball players couldn't compete until 1972. Today at the University of Kansas, more than 100 true freshman players are listed on athletics rosters. Football and men's basketball list 28 and five, respectively. But those bans have been history for 32 years. Voices of opposition have arisen periodically, but freshmen have continued playing. But the opposition to freshman eligibility is arising again. The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics has heard a proposal to once again bring the issue before the NCAA. Spurring potential reform is testimony given by former North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith and former Virginia basketball coach Terry Holland. Both spoke in favor of limiting freshman eligibility at a meeting of the Knight Commission earlier this month. Rooted in their testimony was the concern that athletes should prove themselves academically before they could represent their universities athletically. Their arguments sited low graduation rates among athletes, especially football and basketball players, as reason to consider change. University of Kansas Chancellor Robert Hemenway said he appreciated the goal behind the proposal - to integrate athletes into the academic side of universities - but he wasn't sure if freshman ineligibility was the best way to go about doing that. "The problem with these kinds of measures is it's really hard to create a system that applies to everybody," Menenway said.

They have no star players, but a lot of "nice" players. They are not flashy. They lead the Big 12 in scoring, but do it quietly. Couple those attributes with a six-minute Kansas field goal drought in the second half, and it spelled disaster for the Jayhawks. The 82-67 loss to the Longhorns marked the Jayhawks' fourth consecutive road loss, Kansas' longest streak since 1987. It also means Kansas will need a miracle to win the Big 12 Conference regular season title. "I expected it to be tough," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "If we made layups and free throws in the guts of the game, we would have been in the game. We've labored to score in stretches all season long."

The Longhorns (20-4 overall, 11-2 Big 12) used the Jayhawks' cold spell from the field to put together a 10-0 run with less than five minutes to go before halftime. Texas took a 41-32 lead into the locker room, but Kansas (17-7, 9-4) played solid in the first 20 minutes, out-rebounding the Longhorns 22-16 SEE LONGHORNS ON PAGE 6P Big hit caps Jayhawk victory KU Jayhawks 9 Jared Soares/Kansan Sophomore indeflier Matt Baty received instruction from assistant coach Reggie Christiansen during the sixth inning against Oakland University yesterday. Cold temperatures creeped into Monday afternoon's game at Hoglund Park. Homerun, strong pitching help Kansas defeat Oakland By Ryan Colaiani rcolaiani@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Senior Ryan Baty drilled a two-run homerun in the fifth innning, giving the Kansas baseball team the lead for good in a 6-3 victory over Oakland University at Hoglund Ballpark yesterday. The victory moved the Jayhawks to 9-71 on the year and is the team's second in as many days. "We have to get a streak going," Baty said. "What a streak does for us is build confidence and that is what this team needs now." The Jayhawks drew first blood in the game as junior Sean Richardson doubled to score sophomore Matt Baty in the first inning. Oakland then took the lead briefly in the fourth after back-to-back RBI doubles. The runs were unearned for starting pitcher Scott Sharpe since Travis Metcalf committed a throwing error with two outs The Jayhawks countered in the bottom of the fourth to tie the game at 2 on a Kvle Kilko RBI single. In the bottom of the next inning, Baty took a fastball deep over the left-centerfield wall for his first homerun of the season. "I worked the count a little bit and got the pitch I was looking for," Baty said. The Grizzlies starting pitcher, Dominic Carmosino, was pulled after the fifth. Carmosino received the loss and gave up four runs in five innings. Sharpe went five and two-thirds innings with four strike outs, and received the win to move to 2-0 on the season. He got into some trouble in the sixth inning as he gave up his only earned run of the game. He was pulled with two outs and sophomore Don Czyz was brought on to hold the lead. He struck out Oakland's Josh Patton, to end the threat. Czyz went two and one-third innings, did not allow a hit, and had seven strike outs.

MEN'S BASKETBALL Kit Leffler/Kansar Morgan demands explanation from Big 12 league officials AMES, Iowa — Iowa State coach Wayne Morgan is looking for answers from the Big 12 Conference. Morgan wants an explanation of a bizarre officiating decision in the Cyclones' 90-89 overtime loss at Kansas on Saturday. Kansas was leading 34-24 when Iowa State's Jared Homan went to the line to shoot two free throws with 3:13 left in the first half. Homan missed, Kansas got the rebound and the Jayhawks' J.R. Giddens made a 3-pointer at the other end. The officials then decided that Homar was owed another free throw, so they stopped play and sent him back to the line but counted Giddens' basket. Homan made the second free throw, after which Iowa State was awarded possession. "I've never seen anything like that," Morgan said Monday. "Obviously, the result of the game is not going to change," Morgan said. "Hopefully, we can hope something like that doesn't happen in the future." Morgan said he'll send a tape of the sequence to the Big 12 office and ask league officials to review it. Winning wave The Associated Press Morgan said he thought the officials could have stopped the play while Kansas was racing up the floor and given Homan his other free throw.

The Associated Press MLB Cards sign Dominican pitcher off waivers after shooting JUPITER, Fla. — Left-hander Luis Martinez, recently cleared in a shooting in the Dominican Republic, was claimed Monday by the St. Louis Cardinals after being placed on waivers by the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cardinals assigned Martinez, 24, to their 40-man roster. He was the Brewers' minor-league pitcher of the year last season, pitching at Double-A Huntsville, Triple-A Indianapolis and Milwaukee and striking out 172 batters in 177 innings. Martinez was arrested earlier this month in the shooting. Authorities in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, determined he had acted in self-defense during what began as a traffic dispute. The 6-foot-6 Martinez made four starts for the Brewers last September in his major-league debut, going 0-3 with a 9.92 ERA. That included a start against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium in which he allowed six runs and eight hits in 3 1-3 innings. The Brewers had announced Saturday that Martinez had agreed on a one-year contract. The Associated Pres Marrero contract with Braves extended through 2005 season KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Eli Marrero and the Atlanta Braves agreed Monday to a contract extension through the 2005 season. The catcher/outfielder, obtained from St. Louis in December, would have been eligible for free agency after the season. The deal worth could be worth as much as about $6.8 million over two years. Marrero, 30, batted.224 with two homers and 20 RBIs in just 107 at-bats last season, missing 101 games because of a torn ligament in his right ankle. He had the best season of his career in 2002, when he hit.262 with 18 homers and 66 RBI, both career highs. He had been guaranteed $3 million this year. The new deal calls for $2 million this season and $3 million in 2005, with bonus opportunities and escalators that could raise his salaries to about $2.2 million and $4.6 million.

Shane Battier's block of Carmelo Anthony's putback attempt with 7 seconds left prevented Denver from taking the lead. Posey grabbed the shot, was fouled and converted the free throws to seal Memphis' fifth straight victory. Denver took a 106-102 lead with 1:22 left. But the Grizzlies scored the game's final seven points to send the Nuggets to their third straight loss. Pau Gasol led Memphis with 25 points, and Bonzi Wells finished with 17. Battier and Jason Williams had 10 each, and Williams added eight assists. Anthony scored 16 of his 26 points in the second half, but again struggled from the field, hitting only nine of 25 shots. He added 14 rebounds. Voshon Lenard scored 21 for Denver, all in the first half. Marcus Camby had 15 points and 18 rebounds, and Andre Miller scored 12. Denver pushed the ball up the floor, at times beating the Grizzlies back down the court after Memphis baskets. The Associated Press Memphis made the final two baskets of the period to take an 80-79 lead into the fourth. The Grizzlies struggled in the third period.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County 785.843.7359 1.800.488.2545 douglascounty@ksbbbs.org I 1 tuesday. february 24, 2004 sports the university daily kansan 3B Denver discusses Portist trade The Associated Press 26 26 26 Broncos running back Clinton Portis got a first down in the second quarter as he hurdled over Bengals cornerback Tory James during a game at at Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2003. The Broncos defeated the Bengals 30-10. DENVER — The Denver Broncos are discussing a trade that would send running back Clinton Portis to Washington for cornerback Champ Bailey, a swap of two Pro Bowlers upset with their contracts, a source said yesterday. In giving up Portis for Bailey, Denver also would receive Washington's second-round selection in the April draft, the NFL source told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Vinny Cerrato, Washington's player personnel director, said at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis: "We are talking to a number of teams and Denver is one of the teams." He wouldn't name the players. The negotiations were first reported in The Denver Post. The Redskins have protected Bailey, who can become a free agent on March 3, by designating him their franchise player. That means the Redskins must make him a one-year, $6.8 million tender, the average of the top five players at his position. Portis has two years remaining on the contract he signed as a second-round draft pick in 2002. Displeased with the $300,000 he made last season, he has hinted he might be a holdout when training camp starts unless the Broncos rework his deal. The deal would make sense because the Redskins went last season without an every-down running back, a must in the offensive system favored by new coach Ioe Gibbs. Portis ran for 1,591 yards last year despite missing three games with chest and ankle injuries. Portis' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, declined comment and the Broncos did not return a call seeking comment. K-State's QB will return to campus The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Former Kansas State quarterback Ell Roberson, stripped of his scholarship following an incident prior to the Fiesta Bowl, is taking a class via the Internet and plans to be on campus in Manhattan for the final eight weeks of the semester. Roberson, interviewed by The Kansas City Star at the NFL's scouting combine in Indianapolis, said he has no ill will toward Kansas State coach Bill Snyder and his disciplinary action. A 22-year-old woman told police Roberson sexually assaulted her at the team's suburban Phoenix before he "I don't fault him for it," Roberson told The Star. "It was the best way for it to be taken care of, and that's how he took care of it." suburban Phoenix hotel the night before the bowl game. Roberson acknowledged having sex with the woman but said it was consensual; he was not charged with any offense. Roberson, who has completed his college athletic eligibility, was at the scouting combine only as a spectator following recent surgery for a torn right rotator cuff. He said he was more concerned about how the surgery would affect his status for the NFL draft than the Fiesta Bowl "What happened, happened,and I've moved on from it." Ell Roberson Former Kansas State quarterback controversy. "What happened, happened, and I've moved on from it," he said. "I'm not dwelling on the past." Roberson said he had surgery about two weeks ago and faces at least a month of rehabilitation, so he does not know if he'll get a chance to work out for any pro teams. "At least if I get a chance after it gets healed up, I should be all right," he said. "I'm expecting to be a late-round pick or if not, free agency." Roberson said he played in pain against Ohio State, and suspects the shoulder injury happened during late-season wins against Nebraska or Missouri. "I didn't know it was as bad as it was," he said. "I had a little bit of a layoff after the season, so I didn't throw, but when I came back, I couldn't throw." Roberson said he is taking a Kansas State geology class via the Internet, and plans to be on campus for the final eight weeks of the semester to finish his remaining six hours of class work. The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Professionally speaking, these are wonderful daws for Eddie Sutton. They are a taxing, nightmarish time in the life of Melvin Watkins. Watkins, in contrast, has gotten just about every bad break imaginable in a lost season at Texas A&M. Sutton's Oklahoma State Cowboys are ranked in the Top 10 and flying high with 21-2 overall record and an 11-1 leagueleading Big 12 mark going into their pivotal game tonight at resurgent Missouri. People are wondering if the job he's done with this collection of veterans and transfers is the best of his 34-year coaching career. His Aggies have sustained injuries and dropped so many close games they've probably lost count. With four games left, they are still winless in the conference. "This is not the most talented team I've ever had," Sutton said of the squad that was picked fifth in the preseason poll. "But top to bottom, I'm not sure I've had a group of young men who were better at getting their priorities right. They're wonderful listeners. Very coachable. And they all understand their roles." "I think this team has probably maximized their ability about as well as any team I've ever coached." Sutton also gives credit to his coaching staff, which includes former Texas Tech coach James Dickey and Sutton's son, Sean. "James is family, maybe like an uncle to Sean. He'll be a head coach again. He and Sean certainly do over half the coaching." Watkins' staff must be wondering if they'll have jobs next year. Almost everyone agrees the Aggies seem to be making progress under Watkins' program. But it hasn't translated to conference wins during a year when he's been hampered by injury and bad luck. In the last couple of losses, to Texas and Texas Tech, the Aggies appeared to lose concentration "The kids are feeling the weight of not winning, and we're just being more careless than we should be with the ball," said Watkins, who came into the season 95-111 in seven years as a head coach at North Carolina-Charlotte and Texas A&M. "It's something we're trying to reverse." Watkins and most of his colleagues figured this could be a season full of positives. "Obviously, coming into the year I had some high hopes, still knowing we weren't there yet but we could be somewhere near the middle of the pack," he said. "That hasn't happened. You lose close ones ... and it mushrooms. I think that's what this team has experienced. If we'd gotten those wins, it probably could have propelled us to get a few more." Meanwhile, at Colorado, the Buffaloes' basketball team has done a good job of keeping a low profile while sex scandals engulf the school's football program, where coach Gary Barnett has been placed on administrative leave. Iowa State coach Wayne Morgan, in the meantime, is not going to sit still following a bizarre officiating blunder in his game at Kansas. The strange sequence began to unfold when Iowa State's Jared Homan went to the free throw line and missed his first shot. Kansas rebounded and ran down the court and J.R. Giddens sank a 3-pointer. But then officials decided Homan was owed another foul shot. He made it, but Giddens' 3-pointer still counted in a game the Jayhawks eventually won 90-89 in overtime.

That's the question the Kansas City Royals will address this spring training with 20-year-old Zack Greinke. Greinke was considered among the best pitching prospects in the minor leagues last year, when he went a combined 15-4 with a 1.93 ERA in 23 starts with Double-A Wichita and Single-A Wilmington. And since the Royals have a few vacant spots in the rotation, Greinke has a chance to make the club. "I've read that, but it could be completely different behind closed doors," said Greinke, the Royals' top pick in the 2002 draft. "I know I had a good year, but I don't know if the front office is thinking I'm going to get a long look in spring training. If I do really good, I have a chance. I don't know how good a chance it is." Royals general manager Allard Baird said Greinke will be given an opportunity to make the staff "I think about his career, his future, not just pitching one year in the big leagues." Tony Pena Royals manager "Physically his stuff will get better, not that his stuff isn't major league ready now," Baird said. "His command is major league ready. His mental readiness to handle the major leagues will factor into our decision. "If he comes up and fails, it's not the player's fault, but my fault. We're going to do the right thing in both the short-term and long-term development for him. I can assure you of that." Greinke has experienced very few setbacks in his baseball career; as a high school senior in Apopka, Fla., he went 9-2 with a 0.55 ERA and 118 strike outs. Royala But he still vividly recalls a his third start after a promotion to Wichita, he gave up eight runs on 12 hits, including three home runs, in just 3 2/3 innings in a loss to Tulsa. loss to TUF. "I just got crushed," Greinke said. "Everybody said you can learn from this game. I said, 'How can I learn from this?' I didn't really learn anything from it until a couple of months later. It sank in after the season. Pride took over at the time." Greinke faced Tulsa again on Aug. 31 in the season finale, when Wichita needed a win to make the Texas League playoffs. Greinke gave up two runs on seven hits in 52/3 innings to earn the victory. Kansas City manager Tony Pena said he does not think Greinke is too young to pitch in the majors. "Everybody knows I won't walk away from talent," Pena said. "If he's ready to pitch in the big leagues, we'll give him that chance." Pena said his major concern is that Greinke played mostly shortstop and first base in high school before concentrating on pitching his senior year. Thus, he has not thrown many innings. Greinke threw 140 innings last year, the first time he has thrown more than 100 innings in a season. "I think about his career, his future, not just pitching one year in the big leagues," Pena said. While Pena and Baird think Greinke could be ready for the majors, he's not that sure. "I think I'll be able to tell you after spring training is over," he said. "Last year is gone. Many things could change. Who knows what's going to happen when the games really begin?" Cardinals' Marquis ready for season The Associated Press JUPITER, Fla. — Jason Marquis is getting a start with the St. Louis Cardinals, but he doesn't see it as a make-or-break opportunity. The 25-year-old right-hander, acquired from Atlanta in December along with prospect Adam Wainright and reliever Ray King for outfielder J.D. Drew and catcher Eli Marrero, threw batting practice Monday in front of manager Tony La Russa and pitching coach Dave Duncan. Duncan. Aftergoing 8-9 with a 5.04 ERA as a starter in 2002, Marquis struggled last season. He made just two starts in 21 appearances and spent much of the season at Triple-A Richmond, where he was 8-4 with a 3.35 ERA. For the Braves, Marquis was 0-0 with a 5.53 ERA. Now, he's projected to be the No. 5 starter for St. Louis, though that's not a given. St. Louis has three former starters — Jason Simontacchi, Dan Haren and Kiko Calero — waiting in the wings if Marquis fails. "I intend to pitch to my ability and show them that I belong here," Marquis said. "I try not to put pressure on myself. I try to go out there, give them what I have and let my natural ability and instinct take over."

Cardinals "It is a nice time in his career for him to put it all together and "I expect Jason to take the ball 30- plus times and give us a chance to win every time out," La Russa said. "He has youth on his side, he has talent on his side and he had some nice experience with the Braves." Marquis threw batting practice for 15 minutes. Among the hitters he faced was Albert Pujols, an early camp arrival who last week signed a $100 million, seven-year contract. "For the first time facing batters he pitched fine," Duncan said. "But like everybody else he doesn't have that pinpoint control yet. "He has a live arm, a better than average fastball, nice movement on the ball and a great change-up," Duncan said.

Mason is the vice-president of the Big 12 Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, the organization that represents Big 12 athletes in the NCAA. Mason said athletes adjusted to college life in different ways, and it was wrong to assume that they all needed a year off from competition to get used to school. She said athletes always had the opportunity to redshirt if they weren't adjusting well, and so a blanket reform making all freshman ineligible wasn't needed. She also criticized graduation rate statistics as being biased against athletes and unfair indicators of an athletics program's academic success. Since there are such a small number of athletes compared to the rest of the student body, she said, when a few of them failed to graduate it affected the graduation rate a lot more than when non-athletes left early. "A team brings in three people in a year, one leaves. All of a sudden, they're down to 66 percent." Mason said. Hemenway said it could be viewed as a double standard if an athlete's leaving college early was seen as being somehow worse than when a regular student leaves. The graduation rate for athletes at the University is actually higher than that of other University students. Sixty-eight percent of scholarship athletes who were freshmen in the fall of 1996 had graduated by last year. For the student body, the same figure sat at lower than 60 percent. The Knight Commission is considering Smith's and Holland's proposals, and if it finds them to feasible, it will submit recommendations to the NCAA, said Larry Myer, vice-president of communications for the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, which oversees the Knight Commission. Historically, he said, the commission has had some clout in pushing NCAA reforms, and if it picks up the freshman eligibility issue, he expects the NCAA to take it seriously. "The fact that the Knight Commission is looking at it may suggest that there may be movement and momentum behind this proposal," Myer said. The Knight Commission formed in 1989 to initiate reforms "The fact that the Knight Commission is looking at it may suggest that there may be movement and momentum behind this proposal," Larry Myer ince-president of communications for the John S. and James L. Knight foundation in intercollegiate athletics. The commission has successfully pushed through multiple reforms, including the recommendation to give more control of athletics programs to university presidents. Myer said the commission was considering a number of possibilities concerning freshman ineligibility. These range from making all freshmen athletes ineligible, to making only football and basketball players ineligible, to allowing freshmen to play home games but not away games. Myer said the commission would determine which, if any of these, were feasible and report back to the NCAA. - Edited by Danielle Hillix Slimmer Giambi testifies against steroid usage BASEBALL TAMPA, Fla. — Noticeably trimmer to Joe Torre and most everyone else at Yankees camp, Jason Giambi explained that better eating habits and hard workouts had left him leaner. He emphasized one more thing: Steroids had never been a part of his diet. Giambi said he'd lost four pounds, down to 228, during the offseason by cutting back on fast foods and doing extensive rehab from knee surgery. His chest, biceps and legs appeared smaller — enough so that many people did a double take when they first saw him walk through the clubhouse. Giambi and new New York teammate Gary Sheffield both testified Dec. 11 before a grand jury probing the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, a company accused of providing steroids to sports stars. Being subpoenaed did not mean an athlete was a target of the investigation, which was focused on possible drug and tax violations by BALCO.

The 'Hawks got two insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth on an RBI double by Matt Baty and a RBI single by sophomore Ritchie Price. Senior Chris Smart closed out the game, working the top of the ninth. The loss moved Oakland to 0-1 on the year. It was the Grizzlies first game of the season and the team had yet to practice outside all year. The series continues at 3 p.m. tonorrow at Hoglund Ballpark.

Kansas' five missed layups in the first half did not show up on the stat sheet. The Jayhawks fed their big men early in the second half, with junior forward Wayne Simien and freshman forward David Padgett scoring six early points to pull Kansas within four. With 12:48 remaining, senior forward Jeff Graves was called for a technical foul. Graves' foul was a mystery to not only his coach, but himself. Graves threw the ball on the ground toward Texas forward Brian Boddicker, who had just picked up a foul but said he had no ill intentions. After the foul Graves sat on the bench the rest of the night. The call came in the midst of a six-minute stretch in which the Jayhawks went 0-8 from the field. During Kansas' offensive hiatus, the Frank Erwin Center was ignited by a 14-2 Texas run. "I don't know if we were in their heads, but fatigue was definitely setting in for them," Texas guard Royal Ivey said. "I don't think they're real deep, so fatigue was probably the main factor." "I don't think they're real deep, so fatigue was probably the main factor" Royal Ivey Texas guard By the time Keith Langford drained a three-pointer with 7:36 remaining, Kansas was still down 15 points and could not overcome Texas' onslaught in the post. Eric Braem/Kensan Texas, arguably the Big 12's deepest team, was able to rotate forwards in and out of the game, which was a strain on Kansas big men. Texas' five rotating forwards combined for 37 points and 25 rebounds, and most importantly, just 10 fouls and four turnovers. Texas now appears to have recovered from its surprising loss at Iowa State on Feb. 14, and could be headed back to the Top 10 in the polls. Lost in the mix was that for the Texas seniors, guard Brandon Mouton, guard Royal Ivey, forward James Thomas and forward Brian Boddicker, it was "They've got 25 fouls to give," Self said. "There's no question it certainly had an impact." Bryant Nash, Michael Lee, and Jeff Hawkins watched the waning moments of the Jayhawks' loss to Texas. The Jayhawks' reserve players managed a paltry 2 points as the Longhorns' bench accounted for 28. the first time in their careers they defeated Kansas. "It was a great feeling to go out on top," Ivey said. "We finally got that one done, we've beat everyone in the conference at least once and that's a great feeling." Texas was led by Mouton, who had a game-high 23 points and was one of two Longhorns to score in double figures. Freshman forward P.J. Tucker had 11. Langford was Kansas' leading scorer in his return to his home state with 17 points. The starting five for the Jayhawks scored 65 of its 67 points. The Jayhawks have five days before playing at home against Oklahoma to ponder how they will make a late-season surge with just three games remaining. Ending a four-game road losing streak will not be easy before the Big 12 Tournament. Kansas' only regular season road contest is on March 7 at Missouri. "Playing for this school we've got to stay proud," Langford said. "Last time I checked it's February and we still have games to play." Edited by Amanda Kim Stairret WOMEN: Defense key for'Hawks CONTINUED FROM 1A lay-up opportunities, with those missed shots coming back to haunt the team. "It's just the little things," junior guard Aquanita Burras said. "Layups did cost us the game. That's one thing we have to work on." Woodard said she was pleased with her team's effort down the stretch and also with its offensive execution but agreed that the shots were the difference in the game. "We were getting the ball where we wanted in the post's hands with point-blank lay-ups," Woodard said. "and we just couldn't convert." victory over the Oklahoma State Cowgirls Saturday but still have lost three of its last five games, all to ranked Big 12 opponents. Colorado enters the game with a 20-5 record, posting a 9-4 mark in the Big 12 Conference. The Buffaloes are coming off a 15-point Colorado is led by a pair of seniors. Center Tera Bjorklund averages 19 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, while Kate Fagan contributes 13.2 points and a teamhigh 3.0 assists per contest. Defense will be key for the Jayhawks, as they look to slow down the Buffalo attack. Kansas stayed close in the first matchup because of its defense, losing 59-49 in a January showdown at Allen Fieldhouse. A concern for the Jayhawks "We need to pressure the ball," Burras said.

"There are a lot more apartments than tenants," Justin Atherton, leasing agent for Bradford Square Apartments, said. "It runs in cycles, but now seems to be a downside." Some apartment complexes are holding off giving out deals, waiting until the summer months when they are desperate to find tenants. Others are already advertising specials for early lease signees. Park 25 Apartments is offering its "Early Bird Special" of free first month's rent for "It's a different rental market. People will tell you if you drive down the streets, take a look at all the for-rent signs." Valerie Foos Park 25 leasing consultant all units without a washer or dryer. Valerie Foos, leasing consultant at Park 25, said her complex wanted to get its units leased as soon as possible to prepare for the difficult housing market in Lawrence. cut housing in the Foos pointed to three main reasons for the highly competitive market this year: low mortgage interest rates on houses, more apartments available than tenants needing an apartment, and an increase in students who commute from surrounding areas. "It's a different rental market," Foos said. "People will tell you if you drive down the streets, take a book at all the for-rent signs." Bradford Square is among the apartment complexes that offers no special deals. Instead, the complex wants to attract tenants with low rent. Its units average between $250 and $300 per person. Lower deposits are the other approach the complex uses, offering a $400 deposit for a $650 a month 2-bedroom apartment. Other complexes offer an even lower security deposit along with a discounted or free first month's rent. Aberdeen Apartments and Townhomes offers a $90 deposit, while Jefferson Commons goes even lower with a $50 deposit. Atherton said payments for three-bedroom apartments are about the same as three-bedroom houses. The comparative costs, along with lower interest rates, gives houses the upper hand over apartment complexes. While the early special deal might draw some tenants, others remain unsure of such offers. Erik Sloan, Glenview, Ill., sophomore, said his apartment complex offered him $200 off his first month's rent if he stayed, which he will not do. "I seem a little skeptical when a complex has to use these schemes to lure tenants," Sloan said. "Word-of-mouth and pleased current residents should be enough."

Bar controversy unique Similar towns don't limit bars COCA-COLA COCA-COLA UCANCUN By Laura Pate lpate@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Joey Kramer does not understand why Lawrence city commissioners would want to limit the number of bars on and near Massachusetts Street. Kramer manages Kite's Bar & Grill in Aggieville, a bar district in Manhattan. Photo illustration by Kit Leffler/Kansan With the growing number of bars on Massachusetts Street, many citizens are afraid Lawrence will be contaminated with drinking venues rather than unique stores and restaurants. Some city officials are afraid Lawrence will turn into Manhattan's Aggieville. "What the hell are they thinking?" said Kramer. But Lawrence city commissioners want to see a mix of retail, residences, entertainment venues and restaurants, said city manager Mike Wildgen. More bars on Massachusetts Street could drive out retail business, said Dennis "Boog" Highberger, Lawrence city commissioner. Twenty-seven of today's drinking establishments existed between downtown's Sixth St. and Eleventh St. in 1994. Today, 44 downtown venues hold drinking licenses. Cara Orban, clerk at the Dusty And retail establishments have decreased by 50 percent since 1983, said David Schauner, Lawrence city commissioner. "What they don't want to see is a string of bars down Mass," Wilden said. Most retail shops close by 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. and business does not pick up at the bars until 10 p.m. Bars bring more business to the Dusty Bookshelf, she said. Bookshelf, 708 Massachusetts St., said bars do not negatively affect the bookstore. In 1994, Lawrence city commissioners tried to curb the number of bars by enacting a 55 percent food sales requirement. "They may see something in the window and come back the next day," Orban said. Under the requirement, any bar or restaurant that opened after 1994 had to earn 55 percent of its profits through food sales. If the bar or restaurant failed to do so, it could lose its liquor license. This ordinance has not proven effective in reducing the number of bars or in keeping bars out of neighborhoods, Highberger said. Highberger Commissioners are working to help Massachusetts Street remain a core retail district, Highberger said. Restaurants and bars need retail traffic to bring in business, he said. Highberger does not place all the blame on bars for the decline in retail business. Internet sales have also hurt local business. Ashes mark revelry's end start of Lent purification By Patrick Cady ocady@kansan.com kansan staff writer Today some people on campus will be connected by a sign. "It's a sign of repentance," said Father Vince Krische, director of the St. Lawrence Catholic Center said. "Its a statement of repentance for our sins." Two crossing lines, perhaps looking like little more than a light gray smudge, will be on their foreheads. The smudge is a cross, symbolizing a beginning. It's a beginning of ashes, attrition and growth. "It feels like it always comes so fast, Jon Rogers, Overland Park freshman, said. "It makes you feel like you need to prepare for Easter." statement of repudiation. It's part of Ash Wednesday, a special Mass in the Catholic liturgical season. Today begins a six-week time of preparation known for the Easter holiday as Lent. prepare for hate The Lenten season directly follows the wild parties and celebrations that mark Fat Tuesday or Mardis Gras. If those celebrations represent life in its wildest form, then through the use of the ashes today's services focus on purification, Krische said. That purification comes with a day of fasting for the Catholic church. The entire Lenten season is also marked by a weekly fast. Catholics don't eat red meat on Fridays during Lent, though it is acceptable to eat fish. "It's a time when you can take a step back," Rogers said. "It's a time to see what you can change by reflection." The ashes for the Mass come from burnt palm fronds that were saved from Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter. In the New Testament, a packed mass of followers waved the palms as Jesus entered the city of Jerusalem on the day of his resurrection. When the leaves are burned, they are saved for a year, then marked on foreheads in the sign of a cross. "The cross is a symbol that we follow Christ," Krische said. Christ, Krisen's son The Mass has led to deep feelings within some followers. Shanna Meyer, a Kansas City, Mo. sophomore, had a powerful experience last year. She had rediscovered her faith, she said. This year she thinks there will be a similar, powerful connection. "This year will be even more because I'm stronger," Meyer said. "I feel I can enter into it even more." Ash Wednesday is celebrated by more denominations than the Catholic faith The Lutheran service, for instance, is very similar to the Catholic celebration, said Reverend Alan Estby of the Lutheran Student Fellowship Immanuel. With a time of preparation, Estby said. It's a time of preparation, Estby said. The true power of the day and Service might go beyond denomination. "I think it's just the fact that everyone is coming to come together to celebrate," Meyer said. "His ashes symbolize his suffering, its important to humble yourself with him."

But as one of only eight men in the School of Social Welfare, the white male from Overland Park is somewhat of a rarity. The number of men in the school has decreased each year since 1999. The few number of men in the school has not been a concern because the field is traditionally composed of women, said Melanie Hepburn, assistant dean of the school. Silverman, Overland Park senior, said he thought of himself as a minority but enjoyed the challenges of being a man in the school. His social welfare classes take him out of his normal surroundings in classes with an even ratio of men and women students. Silverman said he was a minority because his opinion was not necessarily the dominant point of view in his classes. He sees a difference in comments among his female classmates. "I think to myself, 'Man, I would never have thought of that from a female perspective," he said. "But I feel I am making comments that females might have not thought of either." He said he thought he had to speak louder although on a personal level he was not very outgoing. Silverman said that his personality did change when he was in his social welfare classes. "If you ask my classmates, I am pretty loud," he said. "I try to be interactive, and maybe I do that inadvertently." Silverman's one other male friend in the school is Brandon Williams, Belleville senior. They have class together and usually stick together. Although William GENDER STATS Year Male Female % 1999-2000 14 112 12.5 2000-2001 12 117 10.2 2001-2002 9 112 8 2002-2003 8 100 8 2003-2004 8 113 7 Source: Melanie Hepburn, assistant dean of Social Welfare. Based on undergraduates in the bachelor program of Social Welfare said he would have become friends with Silverman either way, he shared similarities with Silverman. Both men said all of their social welfare instructors have been women, and they were used to sitting in a classroom full of women. Williams' female instructors would ask him if he felt they were picking on him because he was the only man. If they were, he was told to let them know. But he has not felt singled out. The school teaches students to accept everybody and their opinions, and he said that idea pertains to him as a man in social welfare. He said he has never felt intimidated or had any problems in class. Men usually find business and administration careers more attractive, said Alice Lieberman, associate professor of social welfare. "Historically, social work has been viewed as a woman's profession," she said. "It takes time for professions to shift demographically." Edited by Kevin Flaherty University helps bring family close Classwork, campus life made easier with shared studies KANSAY 1977 By Rupal Gor rgor@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Family members Liz, Michael and Gary Patrick all attend the University of Kansas. Liz, freshman, and Michael, junior, live in Lawrence, while Gary, first-year law student, commutes from Lenexa. The Patrick family often eats lunch together on campus once a week. Jeff Brandsted/Kansar Three University of Kansas students eat lunch together every Thursday. But they're not just students—they're family. School is a family affair for Michael Patrick, Lenexa junior, and his sister Liz, Lenexa freshman. Not only do the brother and sister have each other, but also their father Gary, a first-year law student at the University. The 53-year-old Gary, who commutes from his home in Lenexa, feels comfortable in his classes even though he's more than twice the age of most of his classmates. It keeps Liz from getting home sick and Michael has his father check out his architecture projects. He even has a study group with some of them. Although the other students are young, they don't seem affected by the fact that their classmate is their parents' age, he said. But there is a downside to having three family members at the University: tuition. Gary said he and his wife pay Liz and Michael said their father had a knack for acting like a typical student. Liz and Michael said they enjoyed having their father at school with them. The Patricks use their time together to catch up on classes, as well as their mom and dog back at home. "He's such a big kid," Michael said. "There are definitely a lot of jokes that we tease each other about." Liz and Michael like joking around with their father when they eat at the Burge Union food court at least once a week. "How much money do you think we're going to have invested in KU by the time were done? I hope it pays off. KU should give me a quantity discount." Michael works to help pay for his own tuition and other expenses. Gary Patrick Lawschool student To help pay the bills Gary works part-time with computers at Ringside Company, a business that sells boxing equipment. "How much money do you think we're going to have invested in KU by the time we're done?" Gary said. "I hope it pays off. KU should give me a quantity discount." He is taking 16 hours at the law school, the rest of the time he reads and studies. His children said he was the best student of the three because he balanced work and the demands of law school. Jennifer Andalikiewicz, Shawnee junior, is in an architecture class with Michael. "It's funny because we'll be in studio and he'll be on the phone with his dad and say, 'Okay, go and start your paper, Dad,'" Analkiliewicz said. The last time he took a test was in 1977, when he was a graduate student at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Gary said it was difficult to get back on track in school. But Gary likes being around students more than old people, he said. "These are students who are looking forward to starting the rest of their lives," he said. Gary, who wants to be a small-town lawyer, said that going to law school allowed him to invigorate what was left of his brain. And since he's going to school when he's older, he does not have to worry about partying, which is hard work, he said. Gary said he was not strict or bothersome, a reason why he and his children got along so well. Liz agreed. "We are all funny, goofy people," she said. "We're dorks, but everyone laughs at that."

Bush's world is a black and white one where the evil-doers are bad, tax cuts are good and the American people will fall in line at their November voting location. John Kerry will rock Bush's world Kerry's consistent, sometimes monotone voice does not make him the most exciting politician. But, his manner of speech is an indication of his consistent and thoughtful maturity. We endorse U.S. Sen. Kerry (D-Mass.) not as what we want in a politician but as what we want in a president. The contrast Kerry provides to his Democratic opponents and to Bush is as obvious as the 6-foot-4 man is when he walks into a OUR VIEW The editorial board voted to endorse U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) for the Democratic nomination. room. He towers not only as a physical presence, but also as an intellectual one. lacked most; a backbone. Kerry is a different kind of Democrat who takes away Bush's best issue, national security, by being a decorated war hero. His fiscally responsible positions make him immune to the "tax and spend" label. Perhaps most significant, as his "bring it on" mantra shows, he has one thing past Democratic presidential candidates have Other Democratic candidates have run campaigns full of charisma, southern charm and passion. U.S. Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) is the best communicator in the field and his positive, uplifting campaign has been as inspiring as his impressive rise from humble beginnings. The Rev. Al Sharpton and U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) have represented their segments of the party with passion and conviction. We applaud their efforts, but Kerry is the best candidate to beat Bush and to unit the Democratic Party. Some say Kerry is a Massachusetts liberal who gives complex answers to simple questions. But his issue positions are nearly identical to those of Edwards, his leading rival. Kerry's complex answers are a reassuring contrast to Bush's simple answers to complex questions. Kerry is not only the candidate best prepared for a general election fight, he is the best prepared to make the transition from politician to president. Electability has propelled Kerry's campaign, and we agree with the statement Democratic voters and caucus-goers have made. His maturity is what we need in a complex,black,white and gray-matter world.

BUSINESS Paul Whittimore for The University Daily Kansan WHIT 04 PERSPECTIVE First lady: position carries more than just title When using the term "first lady," a picture of our current first lady may enter one's head. There are no duties outlined for the first lady written in the Constitution. Laura Bush epitomizes every aspect of the typical stereotype of a first lady. She is quiet, but well-spoken while supporting every word that comes out of her husband's mouth. She uses her status to support a non-controversial subject and has that starry-eyed gaze toward her husband down to a fine art. COMMENTARY But why are these traits so important to the first lady status? Why does the press attack past first ladies and potential first ladies who do not fit this mold? But Americans hold high expectations for the wife of the president. Americans expect the first lady to be the support system of their leader. P. Brandi Mathiesen opinion@kansan.com The first to break the mold was Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of Franklin Roosevelt. She pushed the stereotype to its breaking point and became one of the most loved and respected first ladies. She was passionate and committed to social reform. She proved that there was power in the position as first lady. She used the position to gain support for issues that she felt were important. She paved the way for women to continue her legacy. Hillary Rodham Clinton used her status as the first lady to push her own agenda. But that doesn't mean she should be criticized for using her brain and forming her own opinions. When signing her marriage license, she didn't sign away her views only to follow her spouse because he decided to run for public office, even if it was the top seat. The wives of Democratic hopefuls don't fit the mold either. The most covered and criticized is Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.). Heinz Kerry has opinions and is not afraid to use them. She speaks her mind. And why shouldn't a well-educated woman be allowed to speak her mind? She is a great role model, an aspect that is missing in American society. She is a woman unafraid to break the mold and follow her heart. She also exudes the confidence she needs to back her opinions. Elizabeth Edwards, wife of U.S. Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.), has a law degree, a college-aged child and two children younger than 6. Edwards has openly talked about putting family first and being sincere in the spotlight. She spends what time she can on the campaign trail, but continues to put her young children first. The aspiring first lady will be asked numerous questions about why she is The simple answer is because it is interesting to see a reflection of the candidates through their wives' eyes. People want to know why she supports him. It is the humanizing effect because she gives him character, passion and emotions. She helps people relate to him. The typical stereotype of today's first lady should include: outspoken, opinionated, intelligent and unafraid to do what she believes is right. The lady should wear the title, not reflect it. ON STUDENT SENATE Mathiesen is a Bonner Springs senior in journalism. Free Student Senate advice; take it or leave it COMMENTARY With the Student Senate campaigns beginning to kick into high gear, I want to take this opportunity to provide some suggestions for the two coalitions, KUnited and Delta Force. TOMMY DAVIES I imagine this will be taken with a little more than just a grain of salt. But this is just how I see it. KUnited is the incumbent coalition for the second year in a row.Much of the election is going to surround its track record.The advice, then, is phrased in terms of this structure; KUnited as the status quo and Delta Force representing a change. KUnited: The big bad campaign machine is at it again. So my first word of advice is to not come off looking like a big bad campaign machine. KUnited has a tried and true campaign strategy that has relied heavily on certain bases, namely student organization members and members of the greek community. Jeff Allmon opinion@hansan.com This is incredibly effective, but relying on your base is one thing and taking it for granted is something completely differ ent. Some students in these communities have complained on several occasions that they feel as though KUnited just assumes that it will get their votes simply in virtue of being KUnited. The feasibility of proposed projects are great notions to keep in mind. If you propose a project, of course you think it is a feasible one. Otherwise, why the hell would you propose it? KUnited really needs to come out strong with interesting, compelling and, dare I say, mildly idealistic platform goals. Students in the springtime exist in a vacuum of motivation. KUnited needs to rally to that vacuum with something compelling. Delta Force: I miss that old-time rhetoric of radical change and idealism it used to bring. You need this image more than ever this year for one overwhelming reason: with a third term potentially to be won this year, KUnited is now the establishment coalition. New ideas from a fresh source are almost always attractive. Use your position as an outside organization to shake things up and question the status quo. Many students, believe it or not, find this appealing. This now becomes an important time for the students to look hard at KUnited and what they have accomplished for the campus. Jaywalk's contribution to campus safety, the effectiveness of the Jayhawk Express bus service and other former KUnited projects are all important for Delta Force members to look into. not substantially benefited the Student Body is not what should get you elected. If these ideas are not providing the results we were told they would bring, then those ideas need to go. On the other hand, Delta Force needs to make sure that it keeps track record of its accomplishments. Hilltop Childcare, fall break and the Off Campus Living Resource Center are all nice. But those are projects that were completed years ago and students have short memories Think "recently." Being accountable is important, but being accountable for projects that have And, finally, a word of advice to all: Condom dispensers in the residence halls. Nineteen and 20-year-olds, if you didn't know this, have sex. Nineteen and 20-year-olds need to be protected when they have sex. You can connect the dots and remember my advice is only free for the first 568 words; after this point HERE, I start to charge. Allmon is a Wichita graduate student in philosophy.

Bush said "activist judges and local officials" from Massachusetts to San Francisco to New Mexico were attempting to redefine marriage and "change the most fundamental institution of civilization" by allowing same-sex weddings. "On a matter of such importance, the voice of the people must be heard," he said. Democrats accused Bush of pandering to right-wing supporters and tinkering with the Constitution to divert attention from his record on jobs, health care and foreign policy. "He is looking for a wedge issue to divide the American people." Kerry said. Both Kerry and Edwards said they oppose gay marriages but would not support a constitutional amendment. Banning gay marriage is a top priority for Bush's conservative supporters, particularly those among religious and family-oriented groups. But while a majority of Americans — sometimes by as much as a 2-1 margin — oppose legalizing gay marriages, Bush's move could hold political risks, particularly if voters see him as intolerant or question his self-description as a "compassionate conservative." "The president needs to worry about fair-minded swing voters in America, not a Republican base that he has locked up," said Patrick Guerriero, executive director of Log Cabin Republicans, a gay GOP group. Mindful of the high emotions and clear differences on the issue, Bush said, "We should also conduct this difficult debate in a manner worthy of our country, without bitterness or anger." Conservatives were delighted Bush had plunged in. "There is no more important issue for our nation than the preservation of the institution of marriage," said Kelly Shackelford, president of the Texas-based Free Market Foundation, a family advocacy group. Momentum for a constitutional amendment has grown as San Francisco officials have performed thousands of same-sex marriages and have challenged their state law barring such unions. In Massachusetts, the state's highest court has ruled that a state law falling short of allowing full-fledged marriage for gays would be unconstitutional. states to legalize civil unions, which gay rights groups say is an insufficient alternative to marriage. "The amendment should fully protect marriage while leaving the state legislatures free to make their own choices in defining legal arrangements other than marriage," said Bush, who had opposed legalizing civil unions when he was governor of Texas. Bush softened his announcement by leaving the door open for Republican officials said there was no rush to bring an amendment to the floor in the House. Some conservatives want a broader approach than Bush supports, and others oppose federalizing the issue, at least for now. "The groups that are for a constitutional amendment are split over what it should be," said House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R.Texas.) "We are trying to bring them all together and unify them." California Republican Reps. David Dreier and Jerry Lewis said a constitutional amendment might not be necessary. "I will say that I'm not supportive of amending the Constitution on this issue," said Dreier, a co-chairman of Bush's campaign in California in 2000. "I believe that this should go through the courts, and I think that we're at a point where it's not necessary." House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from San Francisco, said she would fight an amendment. situation should be a last resort on almost any issue. "Never before has a constitutional amendment been used to discriminate against a group of people, and we must not start now," she said. Amending the Constitution is not quick or simple. A two-thirds majority of both the House and Senate must pass an amendment, and then it would be sent to the states for ratification. Lewis said changing the Con- It must be approved by three-fourths, or 38 of the 50. Bush's father pressed for a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning but it was not approved. White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Bush believes that amendment legislation submitted by Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R-Colo.) meets his principles in protecting the "sanctity of marriage" between men and women. But Bush did not specifically embrace any particular legislation. Bush's call for a gay-marriage amendment came as the president sought to regain his footing after he was thrown on the defensive about issues ranging from his Vietnam-era military record to missing weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Moore uncommitted on possible amendment The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Most Kansas Republicans are prepared to help President Bush seek a constitutional ban on gay marriages. Not everyone is decided on the issue. The lone Kansas Democrat in Congress, Rep. Dennis Moore, said he wants to see Bush's proposal in writing and hear from constituents. Rep. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) said it was important to protect marriage, but there were many options to consider right now. Republicans in the delegation supported a ban on same-sex marriage well before Bush called yesterday for a constitutional amendment. Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.), a sponsor of the effort in the Senate, commended Bush for taking a bold and principled stand. "Marriage is a sacred institution between a man and a woman," Brownback said in a statement. "Protecting marriage is essential to the long-term health of our families and culture." Sen. Pat Roberts pointed out that Kansas lawmakers are considering now whether to amend the state Constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman. "I agree with President Bush that it is wrong for a select minority to impose their definition of marriage on the nation." Roberts said in a statement. "Ultimately, the Constitution will be changed, either through a piecemeal approach in the courts, or through the more democratic process of amending the Constitution. In this case, an amendment may be the best alternative." In the House, Reps. Jim Ryun (R-Kan.) and Todd Tiahtr (R-Kan.) are sponsoring a proposal for a constitutional amendment outlawing gay marriage. "Across our nation, the institution of marriage is under attack," Ryun said in a statement. "I am thankful that Kansas law protects marriage by defining it as a contract between one man and one woman, but activist courts in other states have proven that we cannot take anything for granted." Moran said in a statement that many Kansas have expressed support for protecting marriage. "Kansas already has a statute in place that recognizes only marriages between one man and one woman. Congress may now consider defining marriage with a constitutional amendment," Moran said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A BAR: Downtown flavor different from Aggieville atmosphere Bill Mitchell. Lawrence resident, has expressed concerns about Massachusetts Street losing its flavor by turning into an Aggieville, which he perceives as a district with more bars than shops. Schauner said Massachusetts Street has not become an Aggieville, but that it could if retailers continue to leave. But the character of Massachusetts Street differs strongly from Aggieville, said Pat McMurray, Kansas State University junior. If McMurtray just wants to drink without having to wait in a line, he will cram into an Aggieville bar with 200 or 300 other patrons. Aggieville bars are much more laid-back, he said. If McMurtray wants to meet people and dance, he will drive an hour and a half to party on Lawrence's Massachusetts Street. A month ago, he went to It's Brother's Bar & Grill, 1105 Massachusetts St., because it has a dance floor. Only two bars in Aggieville feature a dance floor. Manhattan officials on Aggieville Manhattan city commissioners don't worry about Aggieville bars driving out shops because people see Aggieville as a restaurant and bar district geared toward college students. CITY COMPARISONS FOR 2004 Sixteen establishments in Aggieville's four-and-a-half block territory hold liquor licenses, said Becky Jacobs, service coordinator for the Manhattan Convention and Visitors Bureau. City Non-student population Student population Columbia 86,300 26,441 Lawrence 72,000 26,458 Manhattan 44,381 21,995 Sources: Convention and Visitor's Bureaus from Columbia, Lawrence and Manhattan The Manhattan City Commission has never discussed ways to limit the number of bars, said Brad Everett, Manhattan city commissioner. People often have a misconception of Aggieville being only a bar district, said Cheryl Sieben, director of the Aggieville Business Association. Aggieville hasn't hurt Manhattan, said Mark Hatesholo, Manhattan city commissioner. But 115 total businesses line the streets of Aggieville, she said. "There are worse things that could happen to a community," Hatesohl said. Ester Wiechen, an advertising and promotions manager of Zotcis Attire in Aggieville, said bars actually attract customers to shop, she said. The main area of downtown Manhattan lies between Poyntz Ave. and the Manhattan Town Center mall. Retail businesses also are away from Aggieville, in the traditional area of downtown Manhattan. Traditional downtown Manhattan features only two bars and three restaurant bars — neither of which attract large crowds, Snead said. Two-hundred-sixty businesses populate the streets of downtown Manhattan, according to DownTown Manhattan Inc. The 'District' of Columbia About 160 miles east of Lawrence, Adam Crutchfield bar-hops in downtown Columbia, Mo. The University of Missouri senior said more Columbia bars have big dance floors. The District's 43-block downtown area hosts 70 restaurants and bars and 110 shops. Though the bars and restaurants are right next to shops, they enjoy a good relationship, said Rob Tucker, owner of Tucker's Jewelry, located in the District. Bars and shops get along because of a balance in number, said Tucker, whose store is across from a restaurant and bar. "If it wasn't a good mix, then there'd be other problems," said Bob Hutton, Columbia city commissioner. The Downtown Columbia Association appeals to families and college students by advertising the District as having a daytime activities and a nightlife. After 8 p.m., the character of the District changes from retail and becomes an entertainment mecca, said Mary Benjamin, owner of Bluestem Missouri Crafts in the District. "Kids get rowdy," Benjamin said. "You learn that you can't keep things out like hanging plants. I have heard of people planting flowers and kids come pull them up." Benjamin said she admired downtown Lawrence and that downtown Columbia should have a goal to become more like Massachusetts Street. While bars and shops enjoy a healthy relationship in the District, people shop more at the Columbia Mall than at the District, Hutton said. The Columbia Mall holds 110 shops, said Leslie McKay, marketing coordinator for the mall. Downtown Columbia suffered when the Columbia Mall opened in 1985, but the addition of new bars, restaurants and retail establishments is helping downtown Columbia redevelop, Hutton said. The future of Massachusetts Street While the number of bars in Manhattan does not present a problem, activities associated with the bars do, Everett said. The Riley County Police Department has issued 85 DUIs since Jan. 1. In comparison, the Columbia Police Department has issued 86 DUIs and the Lawrence Police Department has issued 95 DUIs since Jan. 1. Five years ago, Highberger would have rated Massachusetts Street a seven or eight on a scale of one to 10 because it featured a better mix of retail and drinking establishments. Today, he rates Massachusetts Street a five or a six because of retail's decline. He said he hoped to give Massachusetts Street a 9 or a 10 in five years. He wants more apartments, convenience stores and grocery stores to move into downtown and for retail stores to stay in business.

Kansas crushes Oakland at home By Shane Kucera skucera@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Junior pitcher Mike Zagurski came out throwing heat to lead Kansas to its third straight victory on a near-freezing day. straight victory on home field. The weather did not affect the Jayhawks' performance as they defeated the Oakland Grizzlies to improve to 10-7-1 on the season. Zagurski continued to impress as his record improved to 2-0. He retired the first four batters of the game and went five and one-third innings, striking out seven Grizzlies. He said he was unfazed by the weather. said he was definitely cold, but it wasn't a big factor in the game," Zagurski said. bigged in the go. The Jayhawks' offensive effort was enough for a victory, despite leaving 10 runners on base. Sophomore infielder Matt Baty led off the game with a base hit. Kansas then played small ball, with a sacrifice bunt by sophomore infielder Ritchie Price that led to junior catcher Sean Richardson driving in the first run of the game. Kansas pulled away in the second inning with hits by Price, Richardson and junior outfielder Andy Scholl. Two errors on the same play by Oakland led to more Kansas runs and extended the lead to 4-1. The Jayhawks did not strike again until the eighth inning when a line drive single by Price brought in two runners. Sean Richardson followed with a sacrifice fly to make the game 7-2. Price and Richardson finished the game with three RBIs each. Kansas neet the Oakland to one run in the last seven innings of play. Junior right-handed pitcher Andrew Rebar and freshman pitcher Sean Land combined to hold Oakland scoreless 58 Kansas freshman guard Nick Bahe attempted to wrestle the ball away from his Colorado opponents on Jan.25. The game concluded in a 78-57 Jayhawk victory. Walk-on works way onto court Freshman turned down home-state school to wear Jayhawk uniform By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter By the time there was 7:58 left in the game, Kansas basketball fans may have thought it was all some sick practical joke. It was Feb. 15, and Kansas was in the process of getting blown out in Lincoln by the 14-point underdog Nebraska Cornhuskers. Senior forward Jeff Graves was not in uniform, Nebraska had an 18-point lead, and Bill Self had unloaded his rarely-used reserves off the bench just minutes into the game. At that point, few were surprised when freshman walk-on guard Nick Bahe threw his hat in the mix. Coach Self was running out of options. Not much was expected from Bahe, a Lincoln, Neb., native who had logged just 34 minutes and scored only five points this season. "Obviously I had a lot of family and friends there to watch," Bahe said. "Most importantly, I was going in there hoping I could provide a spark." Seit's gamble nearly paid off. Baha ignited his sluggish teammates with the energy he always displays. He hit two three-pointers to cut the deficit to 12. Nick Bahe gave it his all, but the Jayhawks still lost by 19. "I came in expecting this to be a year to watch and learn," Bahe said. "I talk a lot, I bring a lot of energy to the game. I try to do just little intangible things to help the team. I think that's what Coach Self likes right now and I'm going to continue to do that." Giving it his all is what Bahe does best. It always has been. It's what made him the Gatorade Player of the Year in Nebraska last season. It's what made him a two-time All-State quarterback. It what's got him on the floor this season. Bahé's attitude and energy fit in perfectly with Self's idea that the hardest It's also what drew attention to Bahe from college coaches while he played at Lincoln Southeast High School. Bahe was scouted by the Jayhawks long before Bill Self arrived. He attended his first Kansas game on a recruiting visit during his junior year of high school, and was blown away. Former coaches Roy Williams and Joe Holladay invited him to walk-on at Kansas, and when Self stepped in, Bahe was still welcomed with open arms. workers in practice will earn their way onto the floor come game time' "After you see something like that and the coaches think you're good enough to play at that level, it obviously fuels a lot of fire to work harder and it makes you excited about being a part of that," Bahe said.

By Jesse Newell jnewell@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter The Buffalo senior team of Kate Fagan, Randie Wirt and Tera Bjorklund scored a combined 51 points in their final home collegiate game, helping coach Ceal Barry to her 500th career coaching victory. "It's a great milestone," Kansas intercham con Lynette Woodard said of Barry's accomplishment. "Her team had all the motivation to come out here tonight and try to get this victory." It was also a record-setting night for Fagan, who set a new Buffalo record for three-pointers in a career. Her fifth long-range shot sealed the mark, and after an announcement of the record at the 11:50 mark, she followed with a sixth three-pointer, scoring a team-high of 20 points. Colorado had eight three-pointers compared to Kansas' four. "We didn't want them to get away with the three-point shots they did the last time we played them." Woodard said. "But they still drained some on us." The Jayhawks came out ice cold from the floor, opening the game making just three of their first 22 shots. "We had some open looks, but couldn't hit the shots." Woodard said. The Buffaloes took advantage, with a Bjorklund lay-up extending the Colorado lead to 25-10 with 8:25 remaining. Still, amidst the emotion of the game and the altitude of Colorado, Kansas found the energy for a run late in the first half. Trailing by 18 points, sophomore for ward Tamara Ransburg connected for two off an offensive rebound and junior guard Larisa Graves hit a shot off the break to start a Kansas rally. After trading scores, freshman forward Lauren Ervin provided a putback, and sophomore guard Erica Hallman followed with a line-drive three and a floating one-hander to give the Jayhawks a 13-2 run and make it a 38-31 deficit into halftime. Kansas trimmed it to a five-point deficit early in the second half, but ran By Joe Bant jbant@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Big 10 may implement play review next year Colleges do not use replay but that could change as early as next year because the Big 10 Conference wants to implement the system during its conference season. Using instant replay to review officiating has been a part of NFL football since 1999. Now it may be coming to college. Under the Big 10 proposal, instant replay would be used at all conference games. Non-conference games at home would utilize instant replay if the game was televised and the visiting team consented. No other football conference has plans to use instant replay next year, but Tim Allen, associate Big 12 Conference commissioner, said the trial case could determine whether the NCAA would adopt instant replay for all its conferences. "They will decide it's not for college football or they will take it to the next level," Allen said. He said there was talk in the Big 12 about instant replay, but nothing formal that would lead to a proposal like the Big 10's. Allen said that next year's deal was only available to the Big 10. University of Kansas defensive coordinator Bill Young has some experience with instant replay. Before coming to Kansas in 2002, Young was a defensive line coach with the Detroit Lions. A significant problem would be the cost, Young said. It would be costly because it would require a variety of cameras and equipment to ensure that officials had enough shots to review the play adequately. Young said he supported any measure that would make the game better, but instant replay at the college level would have some problems that the pros didn't share. play a role in he questioned whether college teams and their stadiums would have the ability to handle the equipment costs. The Big 10's proposal and the NFL replay system have several differences. Unlike the NFL, the Big 10 would not allow coaches to provoke reviews by challenging plays. Young said he liked replay in the NFL and would probably support it in college if it was feasible. He said that replay should not be taken as an insult to officials because they did a tremendous job. Instead, the conference's officiating department would assign a technical advisor for each game. The advisor would have the sole authority to use the replay feature. Instant replay is not a subject without controversy. It has faced opposition at the NFL level and now Kansas fans have mixed feelings about using replay at college games. Vishal Patel, Shawnee senior, said he thought it would be a great thing if replay came to college. The conference would use the television sponsors' cameras to provide the video for the reviews. It has not released the exact penalties or situations where review would apply. "Whatever play takes place, both teams should know exactly what happened," Patel said. "A national championship shouldn't be decided on human error if we have the capability to correct that." Mike Irvine, Chicago freshman, said adding replay would make college football too much like pro football. He said it would diminish the uniqueness of the sport. "It'd take away the innocence of the college football game," Irvine said. The Big 10 proposal has not been finalized and the conference declined to comment until then. The NCAA Football Rules Committee has formally recommended the proposal be enacted. The Division I Championships and Competition Cabinet will act on their recommendation.

Progress, though, is coming slowly in Jim Wooldridge's fourth year as head coach. Youth, injuries and inconsistency are dooming the Wildcats (12-11, 4-8 Big 12) to another sub-.500 conference season. Unless they go crazy and win the Big 12 tournament next month in Dallas, an NCAA bid is out of the question. Nevertheless, Iowa State did not appreciate that 31-point pummeling the Wildcats handed them back on Feb. 11 in one of the most lopsided games of the Big 12 season. It's an embarrassment the Cyclones plan to avenge tonight when they host Kansas State at Hilton Coliseum. "It gives us a lot of motivation," said Iowa State senior Jake Sullivan. "There were some comments after that game about beating us that bad. We took it personal. It's a game I'll definitely be ready for." In another sign of slow-but-sure progress, the Wildcats beat Nebraska in their last road game to snap a 16-game overall road losing streak and a 21-game skid "There were some comments after that game about beating us that bad. We took it personal. It's a game I'll definitely be ready for." Jake Sullivan lowe State senior guard in conference road games. But getting a rare, for them, road winning streak started in Ames on Wednesday night could be a tall order. Although the Wildcats are 44-42 all-time at Iowa State, they have only one win to show for their last 13 trips to Hilton Coliseum. And Jarrett Hart, one of their most consistent scorers, has been hobbled by injury. Hart's limited mobility was no doubt a factor last Saturday in one of the most disappointing losses of the Wooldridge era. After snapping the road jinx at Nebraska, the Wildcats came home and lost to Colorado. So much for the momentum of the win at Nebraska. It was a bitter setback for a program that's been counting progress in baby steps. "It came at the worst time," said Wooldridge. "We were playing better. Colorado played awfully well. But we still think Jarrett Hart (being injured) was a factor in how we played. For us to be a successful team, we've got to have everybody healthy and hitting on all cylinders, and that just wasn't the case." Injuries have dogged the Wildcats all year. Among the most crippling were problems that slowed bluechip freshmen Cartier Martin and Dez Willingham. Another newcomer, junior college transfer Jeremiah Massey, has turned into one of the Big 12's most consistent scorers, averaging more than 14 points and making an impression on everyone who sees him. "Our players were actually talking about him after our game," said Colorado coach Ricardo Patton. Patton, who's seen the Wildcats twice a year for all of Wooldridge's four seasons, believes they're on the threshold of a breakthrough. "I their young guys are going to be good in time. But it takes time," he said. "It doesn't matter what kind of reputation guys come in with. They find out there are other good players in this league. I think Cartier Martin is going to be a big-time player. I really do. They may be just one piece away." Whether Wooldridge gets a contract extension is a matter of debate. But most observers feel he'll be given at least next year, the last on the five-year contract he signed when taking over a program that had decaved under Tom Asbury. "I've said this over and over. I think our players over the last month have all felt like we are making progress as a team, and getting closer to the point where we were playing at a higher level, a better level." Wooldridge said. Their level of disappointment after losing at home to Colorado after beating Nebraska on the road was greater "than at any other time of the year," he said. "We've all felt like we were getting better and we were improving. There have been some very positive signs that we're moving forward." Other see those signs as well. "They've got an excellent program going," Sullivan said. "Their level of players from my freshman year to now is completely different. Hart, (Tim) Ellis, Massey. They've got a lot of talent. They just say "It's just that we're in such a good league,it's hard to get wins. But they're as talented as most teams you'll play."

Due to my busy schedule this semester I don't think that I will be able to continue putting out two comic strips a week (one With the Band and one Dock Boys). I Peel really badly, but don't worry. Dock Boys will still run on Mondays, as usual, and With the Band will probably continue the current storyline come summer. And, without a doubt, With the Band will appear in next year's Kansen, and can always be seen on the web site. HOROSCOPES Today's Birthday (Feb. 25).

Hinrich had to work his way into the lineup as a guard his freshman year, and over the "All year, my mind set's been I'm gonna make my teammates better and that in turn will make me better," Bahe said. "I can get a ton better. As far as being frustrated, absolutely not. Getting some minutes, that's just an added bonus." Now that Bahe is in Lawrence, working his way into Coach Self's regular rotation is just the first step the freshman hopes to take in molding himself after another former Kansas great; Kirk Hinrich. "That's college basketball, that's just how things are going to be," Bahe said. "Obviously they're not going to be excited that I went away. That's what I expected."

Enrollment at all University of Kansas campuses reached 27,772 this spring, higher than the previous record of 27,569 in the spring of 1993. Enrollment grew by more than 300 students since last spring. The unexpected increase in student enrollment will lend an additional $250,000 in tuition money that the University didn't plan on, said Lindy While the money is less than 1 percent of the $120 million generated by tuition fees annually, every little bit helps when facing budget cuts, Eakin said. Eakin, vice provost. The tuition increase will help supplement Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' mandate to raise the University's employees' wages by 3 percent. The mandate will leave the University with a $7.7 million shortfall, some of which will be covered by student's tuition. "In some sense, this is found money." Eakin said. "This could cushion the blow, clearly." The University will spend the additional money in several ways. A portion of it will go toward the gap in funds created by Sebelius' budget, while other money will help pay for classes and BY THE NUMBERS Spring 2004 enrollment: 27,772 (new record) Spring 2003 enrollment: 27,463 Former enrollment record: 27,569 (spring 1993) Additional tuition money for Spring tuition costs $150,000 Source: Provost's office Additional fee money for spring semester: aprox. $100,000 Source: Petrobras office SEE BURDEN ON PAGE 7A Real World, Paris MTV star visits campus Real World'cast member shares her experiences with travel, reality show By Dave Nobles dnobles@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Mallory Snyder of the Real World, Paris spoke about how she fell in love on the show. No, not with her roommate Ace - with traveling. Last night, in front of nearly 100 people in the Kansas Union, the cast member of the MTV show talked about traveling in Europe on a budget. Europe Night, sponsored by STA Travel and SUA, offered tips to students saving money on vacation as well as some insight into what goes on behind the scenes on the reality TV show. STA also gave away a trip to Europe worth $1,000 at the event. Snyder spoke at the University of Florida Tuesday night, and will travel to the University of Colorado tomorrow for a similar event. She will also be speaking at Iowa State University in the next week. Snyder said the reasons why she tried to get on the show was because it was in Europe and she wanted to get out of the Midwest. She said she chose to speak to universities about traveling to Europe because of her passion for seeing the world. Snyder, from Palatine, Ill., was chosen to be on the show while attending Iowa State University. She gave up a soccer scholarship at the school to be on the show. During filming of the Real World, STA Travel sponsored a 10-day backpacking trip through Europe for the cast members.

University of Kansas officials declined an offer from the WB television network to film a reality television show on campus. The show, called Big Man on Campus, would have been less like Survivor: Lawrence and more like The Bachelor in College. The show would have selected one male student at the University and set him up on dates with various female student counterparts. The dating scenarios would have included picnics in Lawrence parks and bowling at Jaybowl in the Kansas Union. The University ultimately shot the idea down after a week of talks with the WB because of the lack of control it would have over the unscripted events and the message the show would have sent to the audience. "At the end of the day, the negatives associated with filming the reality show here outweighed the positives," said Kevin Boatright, interim executive vice chancellor for university relations. Boatright said that the show could have given a substantial amount of publicity to the University, but that the outcome of the show could have given female students a bad image. Boatright spoke with his colleagues as well as about eight people outside his office about the idea before making a decision. "It was a decision that could have went either way." Boatright said. "Even the best of intentions have the possibility of going astray." Katherine Price, Karasas alumna and WB representative approached the University with the idea. Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said that the University would not have received any money for the show. Although Price declined to comment at the request of the network, she seemed confident that the show would have been a success. "There never is any money involved," Bretz said. "Sometimes, we'll ask them to make donations to the Endowment Association." Bretz said that the University was regularly approached by movie companies, independent filmmakers and students with requests to film on campus Generally, the groups only have to pay for their own expenses, Bretz said. Andy Knopp, student body president, said he disagreed but understood the administration's view on the matter. "I'm kind of disappointed," Knopp said. "I think it would have been really cool for the University." The WB network will continue to search for a home for Big Man on Campus, even though the University of Kansas kicked it off the island. Edited by Nikki Nugent 'Passion' film brings controversy, fans By Patrick Cady pcady@ku.edu Kansas staff writer Yesterday, Ash Wednesday called Christians to take a look at their lives and begin the season of Lent. They also had the chance to see one view of the last 12 hours of the life of their savior through The Passion of the Christ. In a struggle marked with violence, meditation and ultimate redemption, movie-goers experience those last 12 hours as interpreted by Mel Gibson. The film, The Passion of the Christ, which Gibson called his life's work, opened yesterday to many waiting fans at the Southwind 12 Theaters, 3433 Iowa St., just south of SuperTarget. > Chad Van Houden, Chanute junior, who waited four hours in-line to get his seat, said he was excited about the subject matter of the movie. "It's the greatest story ever told," Houden said. For many Christian movie-goers, the film became almost more of a spiritual experience that just a movie. "A lot of Christians are going, and they're going as if they're going to church," said Jeanne Klein, associate professor of theater and film. Various church groups have been the most vocal in anticipation of the release of the film. They have either praised Gibson for his vision, or leveled claims of anti-semitism at him because of the portrayal of the Jewish sanhedrin, the highest judicial counsel, as the motivating force behind the sentencing of Christ. The film had the full support of the pope, and some groups even arranged prescreenings for their congregations. The St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center sent a group to screen the movie. Heard on the Hill SEE PASSION ON PAGE 8A Do you think the story of the Passion is relevant today? --- "Just because Jesus lived 2000 years ago, doesn't mean he can't still change peoples lives," Mitch Langley, Louisberg junior "It's relevant forever, and there has never been another story like it." Chad Van Houden, Chanute junior "Jesus' ultimate sacrifice for us is the greatest story any person on Earth can ever be blessed with." 1 Chad Van Houden, Chanute junior A A 6 "Maybe this will get people going to church." 90-year-old Edna Oatman, who saw Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ yesterday morning. in other words 2A the university daily kansan news in brief thursday, february 26, 2004 CAMPUS Foreign policy researcher to speak on rebuilding Iraq William D.

STATE Ban on restaurant smoking passes,easy to challenge Yuhong Zeng, Sichuan, China, doctoral student in chemistry, performed a DNA transformation experiment last night in Haworth Hall. Zeng said when measuring for experiments she must be very careful. HUTCHINSON — Beginning next year, smokers will no longer be able to light up in some restaurants. Twenty residents attended yesterday's City Council meeting when an ordinance banning smoking in restaurants was passed on a 4-1 vote. But the council also made it easy for residents to challenge the new law. Next week, City Attorney Carolyn Patterson will draw up a sample petition available to anyone who wants to push for a public vote on the smoking ban. Once a petition is signed by a number equal to at least 25 percent of the people who voted in the last city election, the council can either pass an ordinance rescinding the smoking ban or call a special election. If left unchallenged, the smoking ban will take effect Jan. 1, 2005. It exempts restaurants that have a separate smoking area or that earn less than 50 percent of revenues from food. Barbara Lilhyn, chairwoman of the Reno County Tobacco Use Prevention Coalition, said the coalition was pleased the council took a step that's "responsible toward public health." -The Associated Press 100TH ANNIVERSARY NATION ATLANTA — Americans still don't seem to get the message. The latest government figures offer more proof that many people are leading unhealthy lifestyles. Government survey exposes unhealthy lifestyle patterns Chemistry with care FROM THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN ARCHIVES 90 years ago FEB.26 The Jayhawks won the Missouri Valley Basketball Championship by defeating Missouri in the Robinson Gym 38 to 22. After losing the football contest to Missouri earlier in the year, the sting of that defeat was reduced by winning the title in basketball. 50 years ago The majority of United States adults are overweight, nearly one in five are daily smokers, and one in five consume at least five alcoholic drinks in a day at least once in a year, according to the government's national health survey. The Kansan reported that a freshman girl working at the library refused to check out a book until a man showed his identification card. The man said he didn't need an ID because he was a University employee. Eventually the woman broke down and allowed him to check out a book. The man was Donald Anderson, dean of men. "It's almost as if the elements are conspiring against us to lead unhealthy lifestyles," said Dan Blumenthal, chairman of community health and preventive medicine at Morehouse school of medicine. "We are faced with a constant barrage of advertising on television about fast food. We live in a world where we are encouraged to drive more and walk less and spend more time in front of our televisions." WORLD The Associated Press Military renews urgent push in search of Osama bin Laden KABUL, Afghanistan — The U.S. military said yesterday that a renewed sense of urgency is fireing the search for Osama bin Laden, even as it dismissed reports that the fugitive Al-Oaeda leader had been located near the Afghan-Pakistan border. 25 years ago Rep. Mike Meacham (R-Wichita) wrote a bill that would require the University of Kansas and Kansas State University to play Wichita State University in men's basketball. The bill passed committees, but was laughed off the floor of the House. Legislators called it the "doggiest piece of legislation introduced this session." The U.S. military is planning a new push to improve security across the troubled border regions before national elections planned for June. The plan involves delivering millions in much needed reconstruction aid to remote areas where a bloody Taliban insurgency is strongest — a move the military says should yield better intelligence. The U.S.military has said it is confident that before the year is out it will catch bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Omar.

Students in the class manage portfolios, then donate their earnings to the University. By Jadie Kraft jkraff@kansan.com Kansan staff writer While some classes take tests or listen to lectures, one business class manages a portfolio of about $670 000 and donates money back to the University of Kansas. In the Advanced Portfolio Management class, 30 students analyze about 30 companies and make buying or selling decisions based on research and guest presentations by representatives of the companies. Kent McCarthy, a KU graduate, started the class in 1994 with a donation of $250,000. As the class fund grows, so have donations made to the University. This year $50,000 will go to the Athletics Department. The money was part of a $100,000 donation of stocks made by McCarthy last July to go to softball, baseball and basketball programs. Paul Koch, professor of business, said students combine all the skills they learned in the different areas of the School of Business such as accounting, marketing, distribution, finance and taxes. He said the pressure of managing real companies and real money made for a practical class. "There's no textbook for this class," Koch said. "This is the real world." Under the instruction of Josh Selzer, guest lecturer and Kansas City, Mo., businessman, groups of students analyze four or five companies and write case studies evaluating the opportunities and risks of each. From there, the CEO or president of the critiqued company will come to the class and give a presentation about the company. "There's no textbook for this class. This is the real world." Paul Koch Professor of business Class members will then use this information when voting to buy, sell or stay where they are with the company. Along with McCarthy, Selzer and Koch, Joan Huber and Allen Ford, professors of business, help with the class. Other schools in the Big 12 Conference have similar classes, Koch said, but McCarthy's financial generosity and business connections made the University's class stand out. "The difference is that in the other schools, they have someone like me teaching the class," Koch said. "Here, we've got Kent McCarthy." He then worked for Goldman Sachs in New York from 1984 to 1994. Since the creation of the class in 1994, McCarthy has stayed involved with most aspects of the class without accepting money from the University. Koch said McCarthy would persuade presidents and CEOs of companies to fly to Kansas from places such as California, New York or London. Because McCarthy lives in Nevada, the team of professors must work together to coordinate all aspects of the class. Professors spend just as much time on the class as the students, Ford said. "They don't pay the contacts to come," Koch said. "They come because it's Kent." "To teach this class is very time intensive, but it's also time intensive for the students," he said. Laura Hays, Wichita senior, said she spent about 10 hours per week outside of class researching her group's companies. She said most members of the class didn't grasp how much their project was contributing to the University. "We didn't realize that we did that, but I think it's pretty cool that we're making this money and it's going somewhere beyond the business school," Hays said. -Edited by Nikki Nugent Early submission key for receiving work study, grants By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Students who want a better chance at receiving financial aid for next school year should act quickly to get their application in before March 1. While the beginning of the month is not the deadline for receiving assistance, it is the priority date for receiving some of the limited federal, state and institution funds. Brenda Maigaard, director of the Office of Financial Aid, said she strongly recommended students and parents get their Free Application for Federal Student Aid submitted by Monday or sooner. Students should complete the application online at www.fafsa.ed.gov because mailing the application would likely miss the priority date, she said. The application for financial aid is free and all the information needed to complete the form can be found on students' and parents' tax returns. Submitting an early application for financial assistance makes students eligible for need-based funding from Federal Supplemental Education Program, the Kansas Comprehensive Grant, the Perkins Loans Fund and the KU Tuition Grant, among others. Students applying after the March 1 priority date can still receive financial aid for the 2004-05 school year, but run the risk of missing out on consideration from these additional funds. "The competition for needbased funds are high and it's Useful Web sites University of Kansas Financial Aid Web site: www.financialaid.ku.edu Federal Government Financial Aid Application Website: www.fafsa.ad.gov Priority date for financial aid is March 1. For more information, call the KU Office of Financial Aid at 864-4700. more likely we will run out of those funds." Maigare said. The Federal Supplemental Educational Program and the KU Tuition Grant offered grants of $1,000 last year, while the Perkins Loans Fund gave out $4,000 grants to students. The priority date also offers students more options for work-study programs, although funding for such positions has drastically declined. Maigaard added that federal government has cut back on funding for work-study in recent years. "Regretfully, federal allocation is going down for work study," Maigard said. "That is always a concern for me, the office, and students, which makes meeting that priority date more important." Ann Hartley, associate director of employment services, said many departments at the University lacked enough funding for work-study, especially after the campus minimum wage increased to $6 an hour a year ago. Maigaard also encouraged students and parents to contact state legislators to push for increased support for higher education in light of recent education funding cutbacks.

I MEAN, LOTS OF JOBS ARE COMING... LOTS OF... make that SOME JOBS, Are, UH MY JOB... I'm HOPING TO HANG ON TO MY JOB... Toy Box STAR TRIBUNE MY JOB... I'm HOPING TO HANG ON TO MY JOB... Steve Sack for KRT Jobs being exported: Bad for U.S. Among America's impressive list of leading exports you can add an unfortunate new category: jobs. No, America is not sending its best and brightest overseas to work. American companies, at an alarming and increasing rate are sending the jobs overseas, a process known as outsourcing, leaving the workers in the dust. Companies can hire foreign workers for a fraction of the cost of American laborers and don't have to comply with American environmental standards or labor laws such as minimum wage requirements. A college student's worst fear may once have been that a down economy could mean entering the wide world of post-graduation unemployment instead of entering the work force. But while the economy is currently rebounding—the economy grew at four percent in the fourth quarter of last year—the jobs are coming slowly. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the latest employment data show an unemployment rate of 5.6 percent. America has lost 2.6 million jobs in the last three years and while the jobs are being replaced, they are being replaced slowly. The economy added 112,000 jobs in January. No one knows exactly how much of a factor the outsourcing of jobs has had on the jobless recovery, because outsourcing is one thing the Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn't keep statistics on. COMMENTARY Brandon Gay opinion@kansan.com However, some data are available. According to Investor's Business Daily, nearly $10 billion worth of technology services alone went to India last year and the number is growing at 30 percent a year. Lou Dobbs, a financial journalist who hosts Lou Dobbs Tonight on CNN, has compiled a list of more than 300 American corporations exporting jobs overseas. According to Investor's Business Daily, about half of Fortune 500 companies have outsourced jobs or work to India. The trend hasn't gone unnoticed by the White House. Gregory Mankiw, chairman of President Bush's Council of Economic Advisors, commented on the economic good of outsourcing jobs overseas when he presented the president's economic report to Congress Feb. 17. "Outsourcing of professional services is a prominent example of a new type of trade," Mankiw said. "When a good or service is produced at a lower cost in another country, it makes sense to import it rather than to produce it domestically." Whether Mankiw is correct about the economic benefits of outsourcing of jobs is a point of contention among economists. What should not be debated is that the American job market is hurting. to compete Presidential candidate, U.S. Rep. John Kerry (D-Mass), has proposed to end this race by giving tax incentives to corporations who hire American workers. The outsourcing of jobs creates a race to the bottom because when one company does it, others must follow in order to compete. Lawmakers can also make American companies abide by environmental and labor regulations for their overseas operations. Such regulations would reduce the incentive for companies to ship jobs overseas and create a better standard of living for the overseas workers of the companies that still outsource. Free trade may not be something the average college student finds interesting, but the issue is as important as it is boring. Vote for candidates that will protect the job market you will soon enter. Don't let jobs become America's leading export. Gay is a Norton senior in journalism and political science. WAKE UP! Black history part of everyone's history The shortest month of the year, February (also known as Black History Month), is about to become history once again. Every month should be Black History Month. What a joy to shove Black history down America's throat during the shortest month of the year. I do not understand the necessity of delegating 29 days out of 365 days in a year to Black history. There would be a huge void in American history without the contributions of Blacks. Regardless of their political affiliation, Americans should also be proud of Secretary of State Colin Powell and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice. They are the first ever Blacks to hold prominent cabinet positions for a U.S. President. Each time Americans have the ability to stop at a stop light without a collision, they should thank Garrett A. Morgan for inventing the first traffic signal. God forbid that anyone ever needs to receive a blood transfusion, but if so they should thank Charles Drew, a medical doctor, for developing blood banks to store blood for long periods of time. Before his medical breakthrough blood could only be stored for up to two days. George Washington Carver, a native Missourian, created more than 325 products out of peanuts through a process called chemgury. For all those people that cannot live without instant coffee in the morning, think about Carver when you are pouring that good ol' cup of coffee, one of many modern-day uses. Carver also developed everything from bleach, meat tenderizers and sugar to shampoos and shoe polishes. The nation's capital, Washington D.C., was surveyed by America's first ever Black scientist, Benjamin Banneker. Banneker's studies and renowned almanacs also were used as evidence by opponents of slavery that Blacks were in fact intelligent and not inferior to Whites. Carver was so celebrated for his scientific achievements that President Franklin D. Roosevelt made him the first Black to receive a national monument. Just think about the contribution of this brilliant man, Carver, every time you use these products. Over the past few years two Black individuals have reached billionaire status. Robert Johnson, the owner of Charlotte's new basketball team, the Bobcats, and Oprah Winfrey are America's first Black billionaires. COMMENTARY JUSTICE FOR HIS SONS 图 President Clinton has often been referred to as America's "first Black President." This is offensive, despite the obvious reason (his skin color). This comment was made to ridicule him because he lived in government housing, received a check from the government and cheated on his wife. I do not find that humorous and I feel sorry for anyone that finds that amusing. After all the struggles my people have endured to try to live in this place called America, this is how we are viewed? Brandon Cobb opinion@hansan.com On numerous occasions I have fallen victim to plenty of stereotypes and been generalized because of the color of my skin. So if you ever see me on campus here are some things that I assure do not describe me at all: I am not an athlete, drug dealer, criminal nor thug. I do not have children, receive welfare nor am I the spokesman for all things having to do with Black people. It is unfair to judge a person by the color of their skin. Blacks have been through a lot of struggles over the course of American history, which is why I am disheartened by the negative stereotypes given to the Black community. What an accomplishment it was to rise above blatant racism, Jim Crow Laws, slavery, criminal acts from police departments and lack of educational opportunities. None of my grandparents received higher education and here I stand today a young Black man on a college campus fulfilling a dream they were denied. And I still see negative stereotypes popping up around me. Free for All Free for All callers have 20 seconds to speak about any topic they wish. Kansan editors reserve the right to omit comments.

PERSPECTIVE - Male chivalry a lost tradition; keep kindness alive In Dave Chapelle's comedy skit, "Killin' them softly," Chapelle asked a crowd full of women if they felt that male chivalry was dead. Almost the whole room exploded in agreement. "That's right, chivalry is dead," Chanelle said. "And women killed it." 1. To be honest, women didn't really kill chivalry. At least not all of them. Chivalry has been dying down over time and the reasons for its demise are varied. We live in a new generation, one in which less than a premium is put on acts of chivalry or politeness. People look out for themselves more and have larger fantasies of power and obtaining wealth. The dream of the pretty medium-sized house with a little white picket fence has given way to MTV's Cribs. COMMENTARY Kevin Flaherty opinion@kansan.com Political views have changed too. During the last 50 years, amazing things have happened in the world of feminism. Women have struggled to attain an equal spot in the world, and one they rightfully deserve. The days of thinking about women as property or second-class citizens are over as they attain higher and higher spots in the hierarchy of the workplace. The battle is not over, not by a long-shot, but things have come a long way. Men's views on chivalry have also changed. The efforts of a few good men started to fade. Somewhere along those paths to power, a fundamental message was lost—the ideas of loving kindness and looking out for people. All of a sudden, if a man held open a door for a woman, he ran the risk of a scowl and snide "I can do it myself." Some feminist groups believed that chivalry was a way to keep women down; a subliminal message lurking in acts of holding doors and pulling out chairs. It no longer became P.C. to engage in acts of chivalry. Melissa Freiburger, sociology graduate teaching assistant, said that feminism changed the way gender roles were perceived. Freiburger said chivalry wasn't as high on the list of feminist priorities as other problems such as feminization of poverty. slowly but surely, the chairs stopped coming out, the doors held half-open, just until the other person could grab An opinion article in The Muhlenberg Weekly asked that same question. The woman shoveled snow around her car for an hour while 50 men (she counted) walked by without offering to help. She ended the article by crying out for the chivalrous days of old. Some men even stopped to make conversation, but didn't offer to help. hold of it. Other traditions and etiquette lessons were lost. Grandmothers shrieked and old-fashioned women were left wondering, where are the polite men? Chivalry is not completely dead. Most fraternities teach their members to perform acts of common courtesy. Today it is quite a sight to see 50 fraternity men stand and offer their seats to a woman who enters the room. It didn't used to be a huge deal. At the start of the semester, a woman walked into class and all of the seats In order for chivalry to continue, people have to realize its importance. The idea is not to put people down or keep them in their place. Toss the propaganda aside — men participate in chivalrous acts to be polite, to show respect and to make women more comfortable. There is no sleaziness or outside agenda to it. The bottom line is that everyone must get better. The men must show more effort, and the women must realize that it's not degrading for someone to perform an act of kindness.

Nader, who announced his decision to run on Sunday, said he wanted to challenge the twoparty duopoly that dominated the presidential elections. Although his decision has been criticized for its possibility of splitting the Democratic vote, some feel that he won't make as much of an impact this year as he did in 2000. Madelaine Marchin, Manhattan senior and tech executive for the University of Kansas Young Democrats, said she understood her party's concerns, but that it was his decision if he wanted to run. She said they were justified in wanting him to stay out,but they shouldn't make a huge deal about it or be overly concerned. "There is not a large group of people who like his policies enough to risk having Bush in officeanotherfouryears,"she said. Justin McFarland, Lenexa junior and University of Kansas College Republicans chairman, said Nader might be able to actually help Democrats at first by getting his name out there and criticizing Bush. But come election day, he could hurt them by taking votes away Sam Arif, Wichita senior and public relations chairman for the College Republicans, said he saw where the Democrats' anxiety was coming from. Nader communication "Political Strategy 101 teaches that the way to win an election is split the opposition," he said. "However, I don't think he will make as big an impact as he did last time." Arif said he was unsure why Nader decided to run as an independent this year rather than with the Green Party, whom he ran in with the 2000 election. National 2000 PRESIDENTIAL GENERAL ELECTION RESULTS Kansas Gore: 48.38% (50,999,997 votes) Bush: 47.87% (50,456,002 votes) Nader: 2.74% (2,882,955 votes) Gore: 399,276 votes Bush: 622,332 votes Nader: 36,086 votes Source: Federal Election Commission "I don't think there is any bad blood between the two," she said of Nader and the Green Party. Amanda Harrison, Almont, Colo. senior and treasurer for the University of Kansas Green Party, said she was unsure of Nader's reasons for running as an independent. The Green Party isn't planning on backing him in the election though because it will select its own candidate, she said. - Edited by Ashley Arnold African group will come to Kansas if bill passes Senate By Andy Marso amarso@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Troupe clears committees Senate committees approved funding to bring an African dance troupe to Lawrence last night. The troupe, Les Ballet Africanis, is a group of 40 dancers from The Republic of Guinea in West Africa. The group is on a tour in the United States to celebrate its 50th anniversary. It was the largest allocation of funds that the committee debated last night. Nevertheless, it had widespread support. The funding will be voted on by full Senate next week. STUDENT THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SENATE The Senate Finance Committee agreed to allocate $10,000 from the Senate unallocated fund to the Ethnomusicology Student Association to organize the troupe's Lawrence performance. "This is the essence of cultural diversity," said Mark Dupree, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator. "It brings together all kinds of cultures and ethnicities. Senate has done the University a great deed and one that should have been done years ago." The bill to fund the performance was written by Evan Billings, fine arts senator. Clarence Henry, professor of ethnomusicology, said the troupe had a cultural, historical style that would be educational for students. Scott McKenzie, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, also supported the bill. "We have to get students turned on to diversity, and music's a good way because it's something they can get into easily, it's not dry," McKenzie said. "Plus, Clarence Henry is the bomb." Because of the troupe's size, Billings said it would perform at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., instead of Woodruff Auditorium.

The University of Missouri-Columbia, Kansas State University and Colorado State University recently received funds to build high-security biosafety research facilities. These facilities allow researchers to study dangerous pathogens — organisms that cause diseases — and biological weapons. The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the anthrax outbreaks that occurred later that year have led to increased grant opportunities for universities nationwide, said Bill Picking, chairman of the Institutional Biosafety Committee and associate professor of molecular bioscience. Biosafety levels are laboratory designations defined by the Center for Disease Control. The levels indicate how high of a risk materials contained inside a lab pose to humans. In 2002, the Legislature approved a $40 million project to build Biosafety Level 3 agricultural facility at Kansas State University. Construction on the 60,000 square-foot facility at K-State will begin in the spring. The University of Missouri-Columbia has been awarded a Center for Research Excellence grant to build a Level 3 facility. Level 3 labs deal with diseases such as anthrax and salmonella. Colorado State University is building a 33,850-square-foot Regional Biocontainment Laboratory funded with $22.1 million from the National institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The University Kansas has two Level 3 labs where researchers study vaccines for dangerous diseases, one on West Campus and one in Haworth Hall. Though the University has not received any funds for facilities recently, the professors behind the vaccine studies do receive money to aid their work. Some researchers at the University are already working on biohazardous materials in the labs. On West Campus, professors conduct research to understand and find vaccines for biological weapons. Picking said the grant money was a big incentive to work on pathogens and other potentially hazardous materials. Russell Middaugh, distinguished professor in pharmaceutical chemistry, oversees operations at the Lab for Macromolecule and Vaccine Stabilization at Simons Center for Biosciences Research Facility. Jeff Brandsted/Kansan Laura Peek, Williamsburg graduate student, dressed herself in required lab apparel behind a secured door Monday in Simons Biosciences Research Laboratories. Such clothing is needed because of the toxicity of the materials. He and his team work on developing heat-and-cold-resistant vaccines for potential biological weapons, such as anthrax. Two-and-a-half years ago he received a $1,381,000 grant to develop thermally stable vaccines. In the lab on the eighth floor of Haworth, Vladimir Yamshchikov, associate professor in molecular bioscience, works on a vaccine against West Nile virus. He and his team of students follow a strict protocol in the labs to decrease the chance of any accidents. West Nile Virus does not pass from human to human, so the chance of exposure to a large population is slim. Eric Jeppesen said that in the six-and-a-half years that he has been the University's lab safety specialist, there have been no reports of accidents involving biohazardous materials. Researchers wear protective clothing such as coveralls, gloves, shoe protectors and goggles. "It's not like a space suit like in the Level 4 labs." Yamchikov said. Level 4 labs are facilities that contain highly-contagious diseases that have no vaccine. Level 5 labs hold very dangerous diseases, such as the Ebola virus.

Some wanted to see a depiction on the big-screen, and relive the biblical tales they heard as "I thought it was amazing, and it did pretty much stick to the story," Brynn Harrisson, Kansas City Mo., sophomore, said. Harrison also noticed the violence, but the graphic nature was needed to get the point across, she said. The most powerful moment for her, she said, came toward the end of the film when Jesus fell for a second time as he carried his cross on the way to the crucifixion site. As he hit the ground, his mother, Mary, ran toward him. As she was running to her son, she flashed back to another time when she ran to him when he fell as a child. During the 1:30 p.m. showing at Southwind 12, the theater was filled with sniffing as the picture reached its climax. When the film ended, people streamed out looking content but drained. Rogers said she thought the effect of the film could be experienced by many. PUR IT AGAIN SPORTS "All Christians should see it," Rogers said.

Every year, the programs that use students' fees to operate and the provost's office estimate tuition and fee totals for the next year. With more students paying the fees, the increased enrollment will generate almost $100,000 for programs that use these fees to operate. Student Senate will send fee money above expected totals into its reserves, said Linda Mullens, associate vice provost of Student Success. Senate always uses conservative projections when estimating the next year's student fee money. With this year's enrollment boost, next year's increases could reach $60,000. Mullens said. The increase in students and student's money could be the result of multiple efforts on campus, said Kathleen McCluskey- Fawcett, senior vice provost. "We would like to think this is because of retention efforts," she said. Student retention refers to the number of true freshmen who return to the University for their soonmore year. Five years ago. 75 percent of freshmen returned to campus as sophomores. McCluskey-Fawcett said with Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center helping underclassmen in their first years of college, the rate has jumped to nearly 82 percent When students survive their freshman and sophomore years, they are likely to stay until graduation, she said. Incoming freshman then add to a growing student body. If retention levels continue to improve, enrollment should continue to rise—and break records in the future. Edited by Guillaume Doane between law enforcement and foreign outposts, Congress was told yesterday. The Associated Press Students' visas may face long delays WASHINGTON — Some foreign students still face unnecessary delays in getting visas because of an outdated FBI filing system and slow communication Officials with the FBI and the Homeland Security and State departments testified in response to a federal review of post-Sept. 11 programs designed to better screen those who apply to study in the United States. One of the Sept. 11 hijackers held a student visa. After the attacks, tough new immigration rules were put in place. Many foreign students and American universities claim applications become needlessly bogged down when a security check is requested on a particular individual. Around the country, students and colleges have complained about problems with the immigration status of valued experts.

People had just finished slowly filtering into Woodruff Auditorium as Snyder took the stage. She opened up the floor to questions after a short speech, and was quick to dispel the rumor about her roommate on the show. "I'm not dating Ace anymore," Snuder said. "It's over." Travis Fry, Overland Park sen ior, quickly took the opportunity to ask Snyder if she wanted to join him at Johnny's Tavern after the event. "Hey, she said she'd come," Fry said afterward. "I think she gave me the rub a little, but it was worth a shot." After receiving a variety of questions ranging from the editing on the show to her ability to speak French, Snyder unveiled the winner of the trip to Europe in rattle-like fashion. Amanda Rivera, Osage Beach, Mo., senior, won the vacation just days after her car was broken into. "Things like this never happen to me." Rivera said. Rivera's friend, Holly Arndt, Arlington Heights, Ill., senior, agreed. "She has the worst luck ever," Arndt said. After sharing her opinions about Europe, Snyder said that she wouldn't be found on TV ever again. "I'm done with reality television," Snyder said. "It's really heavy." Snyder said that she did not want to milk the success of the show forever, but that it created opportunities for her such as modeling in Miami and Jamaica as well as the reality TV show Real World /Road Rules Challenge.

In his junior year of college he knew he didn't want to continue being a music major after seeing Lee Morgan play with the Dizzie Gillespie Big Band. "He was stunning, and I knew I'd never be that good." Lacy said: Instead, he took a film and broadcast class on a friend's dare and later switched to a communications major. More than 35 years later, he has won four Emmys. Lacy is this semester's Langston Hughes visiting professor at the University of Kansas. He is teaching two documentary film classes this spring—his first formal teaching experience. He has served as a PBS station manager and executive producer at WGBH in Boston. He received his degree in communications from Washington State University in 1968. He was in the selective service during wartime, making him an unattractive job candidate for employers. Three months after graduating, he was called to service. While stationed in North Dakota he ran the base newspaper. With the right stories and an emphasis on photos, the paper shot to the top of the Air Force rankings. "People adored it because pictures are easy to read and people like to see themselves," he said. Lacy emphasized the small stories about the lower ranking servicemen. He said the paper told stories of colonels trying to get promotions instead of the men The stories and pictures he used to make the base newspaper a hit are the same type of stories he tries to convey through film. repairing equipment who never had a camera in their face. "Good films are meant to be felt as well as understood," he said. "I like stories that enable me to make them powerful." After leaving the Air Force, Lacy began his career path in broadcast. In the 1980s, he began making short films and eventually was commissioned to work on the Emmy-winning documentary Eyes on the Prize II. He said he realized how much he missed making films and he knew he wanted to go back. Lacy saw the opportunity to make films that helped express humanity and race relations. "Films are a weapon, and I like films that help advance the cause," he said. "At this point in my life, I don't have time to waste on films that don't make a difference." Lacy said he had practical lessons to pass to others even though he hasn't been in the film business as long as some of his peers. His teaching position at the University is an honor, he said. "Somebody looked at my work and appreciated that I'd have something to pass on," he said. Barry St. John, Wichita senior, is taking both of Lacy's film classes and said Lacy treated his students like professional colleges and friends. "If he's helping you on a shoot and you're the director, then he'll tell you, "Treat me like the crew and make me move your lights," St. John said. — Edited by Ashley Arnold Annie Bernethy/Kansan Madison Davis Lacy, four-time Emmy winner for documentary film, taught his class yesterday afternoon at Oldfather Studios, 1621 W.

Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan By Ryan Colaiani rcolaiani@kansan.com Kansan writer/sportwriter A nine-run first inning propelled the Kansas baseball team to a 17-4 victory over the Oakland Grizzlies yesterday at Hoglund Ballpark. The victory was the Jayhawks' fourth one in a row and moved the team to 11-7 1. The Grizzlies dropped to 0-3. Sophomore infielder Matt Baty led off the game with a hit for the fourth straight game and advanced from first to third after stealing two bases. Baty later scored on an RBI single by junior catcher Sean Richardson. Richardson scored a double later in the inning to earn two more runs. He played three innings and finished with three hits, three RBI and a stolen base. "He (Richardson) is about as good as it gets," coach Rich Price said. "I have been really fortunate to have a few catchers play for me that have played in the big leagues and he is as good as anyone I have ever coached." The Jayhawks stole four bases during the first inning. According to Price, the team wanted to test the Grizzlies' starting pitcher to see if he could control the Jayhawks' running game. The Grizzlies also committed costly defensive errors during the first inning, which led to four unearned runs. The Grizzlies' starting pitcher, freshman Dan Stinchcombe, lasted one-third of an inning and gave up five earned runs. The Jayhawks' starting pitcher, junior Clint Schambach, was dominant during his four innings of work. He struck out the first three batters he faced and finished the game with six strike outs. Schambach did not allow a single hit and walked one batter. He had worked seven games in relief prior to receiving his first start yesterday. "It was good to settle down in the first inning," Schambach said. "It's great to come out firing strikes. Everything was just working for me in that inning." After the first inning the 'Hawks did SEE BLOWOUT ON PAGE GB Kansas looking for a win With only threegames left, each contest takes on new significance By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Players looked calm as they warmed up for practice at Allen Fieldhouse yesterday. There was laughing, joking and no one appeared worried. But there was a frenzy of activity below the surface. Although the body language of players on the Kansas basketball team may not suggest it, there is a feeling of necessity to win Sunday at home against Oklahoma. "There should be a sense of urgency regardless," junior guard Keith Langford said. "From the jump start of the season, there should always be a sense of urgency not to lose a game, and that's how good teams separate themselves. When we can start doing that on a consistent basis, we give ourselves a better chance to win." Time to do that consistently is running out. The Jayhawks are down to their three final regular season games, including the next two at home against Oklahoma and Nebraska. The Jayhawks may have learned more from their loss Monday at Texas than in any of their other defeats this season. The toughest lessons were dealt to the Kansas post players, who were pushed and bullied all night by Longhorn forwards James Thomas and Jason Klotz. "I think I've seen it as physical as it's going to get," freshman forward David Padgett said. "For me, just having this experience, I think it will pay off big time. There wasn't anything like that in high school." The Jayhawks also learned that if they hope to advance out of the early rounds of the NCAA Tournament next month, something must be done about the team's depth in terms of production. The Kansas bench produced just two points Monday night and will need veterans like senior Jeff Graves and junior Mike Lee to score more points. (1) sports commentary SEE BASKETBALL ON PAGE 6B Eric Braem/Kensan Coach Bill Self gave directions to the men's basketball team in Austin, Texas, Monday. Self said the Jayhawks' bench had been struggling recently, but they are looking to improve. spares commentary Kevin Flaherty kflaherty@kansan.com Mangino's Jayhawks out to make an impact Up until last year, Kansas football was a major whipping boy of the Big 12 Conference. No longer. Following a 6-6 regular season that included a trip to the team's first bowl game since 1995, Kansas has the momentum and the personnel to create a stir in the Big 12 North this year. They might have the team to win it. They might have the team's chance for success. Normally, this argument would seem like madness, but there are several factors that increase the team's chance for success. Kansas returns with most of the players who had a major impact on last season's successes and will come back stronger and faster. Chris Dawson is one of the elite strength and conditioning coaches in the nation, and it showed on the field last season. The offensive line wasn't getting blown off the ball, and the wide receivers, running backs and linebackers all showed improved strength and quickness. Dawson will have the players in even better shape for the 2004 season. They have an embarrassment of riches on offense, particularly at running back and wide receiver, and the best group of returning linebackers in the league except maybe Texas. Quarterbacks Jason Swanson and Adam Barmann both have the arm, head and legs to run this Kansas offense so that it won't miss a beat. The two should be able to replace Kansas' biggest off-season loss, senior Bill Whittimore. The defense returns with a healthy Travis Watkins and adds several defensive linemen to last season's struggling unit. Jermail Ashley and Charlton Keith should make immediate impacts at rushing the passer. Theo Baines is an outstanding cornerback that should also compete for time. The schedule is a plus, as Kansas will be tested by three bowl teams before it gets into the Big 12 season. The three Big 12 South games against Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech will be tough to win, but look for Kansas to sneak a victory against Texas Tech at Memorial Stadium. The fact that the Big 12 North is set for a down year could also help. Kansas State must replace senior quarterback Ell Roberson and senior wide receiver James Terry. Junior Darren Sproles returns, but the Wildcats lost several starters on the offensive line. The defense will be without most of its SEE FLAHERTY ON PAGE 6B Committee proposal raises concerns for the KUAC By Joe Bant and Anna Clovis editor@kansan.com Kansan staff writers A proposal to restructure the KUAC board of directors has some groups on campus worried they will no longer be represented. The KUAC board advises the University of Kansas Athletics Department and also has some say in policy decisions. The proposal would reduce that number to five and would leave out students, alumni and classified and unclassified staff. It is currently a 23-member board. Student body President Andy Knopp said it didn't do enough to represent the interests of students. SenEx member Beverly Koerner said it At Tuesday's Senate Executive Committee meeting, members of the Committee expressed dismay at the plan. ignored a KUAC obligation to include classified staff in the process. Reid Holbrook defended the plan. The Kansas City lawyer is chairman of the subcommittee charged with the KUAC restructuring. "As long as I've been on SenEx, it has been a charge to them, and they haven't acted on it," Koerner said. He said current KUAC rules held that the board was a policy-making body and consequently it was legally liable for policies made. He said the plan simply brought the rules up to date with reality. He said the Athletics Department has used the board primarily in an advisory capacity for some time. "The way we've operated for the last 10 to 15 years is pretty much what the charter will provide for," Holbrook said. That was fine, he said, but if the board was only advisory, it shouldn't He said the new proposal remedied this situation by taking liability from the current board and giving it to a board that would be used as an effective policy making body. The five people included on the board would be the athletics director, who would serve as chairman, the vice provost for student success, the University's chief business and financial planning officer, a senior University administrator and a faculty representative to the Big 12 Conference. have had legal responsibility for policies. "If a mistake is made, they're the ones that need to be held accountable," Holbrook said. The student body president might also serve as a non-voting member, but Holbrook said that wasn't definite yet. The modified KUAC board would be responsible for making Athletics Department policy and would report to the Chancellor. The current board would become an advisory committee that would also report to the Chancellor. Knopp said he thought the plan wasn't as fair to students as it could be. The reason we have athletics is the student body." Knopp said. He said from athletes to fans to student fees, students were at the core of the program and should be represented by a voting member. At Tuesday's meeting, SenExpassed a resolution that suggested adding a student and a faculty member appointed by University governance to the board. "There are all kinds of problems in collegiate athletics," said Ray Davis, SenEx chairman. "Part of the reform effort requires a closer relationship between the academic and athletics side of the University." Davis said SenEx aimed its suggestions "Students, faculty and staff are represented now," Marchiony said. "Those are very important constituencies to us, and they will be in the future." Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs, said no group needed to worry about representation on the board. hey will. He said the Athletics Department fully supported the plan, that it did a great deal to define the role of KUAC and place the authority in the Chancellor, where the NCAA required it to be. towards that purpose, and would present them at the KUAC meeting, tomorrow. TALK TO SPORTS: Contact Henry C. Jackson or Maggie Newcomer at SPORTS@KANSAN.COM The subcommittee will present the plan to the KUAC tomorrow for its reaction. Holbrook said he expected the KUAC to approve the proposal at that time, although if there was discontent approval might be delayed. 1 Edited by Guillaume Doane what we heard "I'm outta here."

Smooth moves SURPRISE, Ariz. — Juan Gonzalez will arrive at spring training behind most of his new teammates on the Kansas City Royals. Annie Bernethy/Kansan Royals general manager Allard Baird said Gonzalez would not arrive until today and his first workout would be tomorrow. The mandatory reporting date is not until next week. "It is not an overly concerning issue or anything like that," Baird said Wednesday. "I spoke to his agent, and Juan has family issues that he's dealing with. I don't want to go into details out of respect for Juan. It's something personal. We know what's going on. The reasons that were given to me, I'm very comfortable with." Gonzalez, a two-time American League MVP, signed a $4.5 million, one-year contract with the Royals that includes a team option for 2005. The 34-year-old Gonzalez was hampered by injuries during the past two season with the Texas Rangers, playing in 82 games last season and only 70 in 2002.

But Natalie Wood, a child actress who became a dazzling star, is remembered today less for her performances in such films as Rebel Without a Cause, Splendor in the Grass and West Side Story than for her strange, untimely death: She fell off her yacht under murky circumstances and drowned at 43. A new television biopic, The Mystery of Natalie Wood, proposes how it happened nearly a quarter-century ago. And raises another issue: the widespread disregard for Wood's acting skills, both during her lifetime and since. The film, airing on ABC at 7 p.m. Monday, casts newcomer Justine Waddell as Wood, the dark-eyed beauty who appeared in more than 50 movies, from Miracle on 34th Street and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir in childhood through her posthumous sci-fi thriller Brainstorm. And it is directed by Peter Bogdanovich, a Wood contemporary (now 64, he was born the year after her) and a veteran filmmaker whose credits include Paper Moon and The Last Picture Show. He's also a show-biz insider who, in 1980, was drawn into a Hollywood tragedy that inspired two movies of its own. Both a television film and Bob Fosse's Star 80 portrayed the murder of centerfold-turned-actress Dorothy Stratten — Bogdanovich's girlfriend. Offered The Mystery of Natalie Wood, Bogdanovich was "intrigued," he says during a recent conversation at his Manhattan apartment. "But I didn't know if I wanted to do it, because I knew the people a little bit," he said. HOROSCOPES The "scientific method" is just a tool that you can use when Muses aren't whispering in your ear.

But what they got was a double loss to a packed house. Kansas (8-16-2) won against Metro State 9-8 in the first game of the series and 5-2 in the second Zach Sias, Webster Grove, Mo., freshman, started the first game as goalie. "It's been two years since our last road trip up to Kansas," said Nick Crespi, a Metro State player. "Last time the Jayhawks beat us two times. We're ready for them this year." Within the first minute, both teams had a goal on the board. Geoff Knight, Toronto senior, scored the first goal for the 'Hawks with 53 seconds off the clock. Kansas took the lead less than three minutes into the game when Matt Davis, Topeka junior, sailed a shot past the defending goalie. Before the first period ended, the Roadrunners were able to get another shot past Sias. In the second period, Kansas scored only one goal to Metro State's four. Brian Featherstone, Overland Park freshman, scored the period's lone goal. The 'Hawks' chances looked grim going into the third period down 3-6, but things were about to turn around. Kansas scored four goals, including one by Brandon Schultz with 59 seconds left on the clock, to send the game into overtime. "I'm usually pretty reserved when I score," said the Apple Valley, Minn., senior. "But when I scored the goal that sent the game into overtime it was such a big goal, I had to be over-dramatic." Schultz said. Other scorers in the third period were Davis, G. Knight and Joey Barghini, St. Louis Park, Minn., junior. Metro State also scored a goal and Kansas switched to goalie Ryan McGarry, Superior, Wise., junior, toward the end of the third. The five minute overtime wasn't enough to break the tie, so Kansas faced Metro State in a shootout. "The shootout was very exciting. It felt really good knowing that the team had a lot of confidence in me," McGarry said. The Roadrunners led off with a goal on McGarry, making it a 7-8 game. "After the first one went in, I just smiled and said 'Wow, he smoked me!'" McGarry said. But Davis stepped up and made the 'Hawk's first goal of the shootout. The Roadrunners still had two shots left, but Kansas held onto its 9-8 lead to pull out a win. "It was the most wild comeback we've ever had," McGarry said. The next night after such an exciting comeback, the Jayhawks faced their last home ice skate for the season. With a record turnout of more than 200 people, Kansas came out scoring with a big shot by Erik Rutzick, St. Paul, Minn.. freshman. Metro State fired back and slid one past Marty McSorley, Webster Grove, Mo., senior. The second period didn't look much different. David Hall, Wichita junior, scored, bringing the game to 2-1. The Roadrunners followed Hall's goal with one of their own midway through the second period, sliding one past McSorley's pad to even the score. After Kansas changed goalies to McGarry before the end of the second period, the third period was all Kansas. Both Davis and Schultz scored goals and Davis had an empty netter from past the blue line before it was all over. As the buzzer sounded and Kansas claimed its sweep, fans chanted "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" for a job well done. "Every shot, every hit, every save, the crowd was cheering in hopes that we would capitalize our opportunities," Schultz said. The team will take a weekend off before its game against the University of Missouri in the first weekend of March. The 'Hawks are 1-1-1 against the hated Tigers this season, so slacking is not an option.

The Atlanta native is accused of trying to help a childhood friend buy cocaine in the summer of 2000 — just before he signed a six-year, $35.3 million contract with the Ravens. No drugs were ever purchased, according to the indictment. The running back's attorney, Ed Garland, said his client was innocent and would turn himself in today. Garland said, "He was not part of any drug deal and any contention that he was is. that he was is false." "Mr. Lewis wants everybody to know that he did nothing wrong." Lewis Lewis is charged with conspiring to possess with the intent to distribute 5 kilograms of cocaine and using a cell phone in the commission of the first count according to U.S. Attorney William S. Duffey. The indictment came out of a drug investigation that has led to 30 convictions and helped dismantle a cocaine-trafficking ring in the city, Duffey said. He refused to say whether Lewis was tied to that drug ring. In an affidavit, FBI special agent Hoyt Mahaley said that an informant contacted Lewis on his cell phone on June 23, 2000, to discuss selling cocaine to Lewis' friend. The conversation was recorded, according to the agent. "The cooperating source told Lewis that he/she was willing to sell the narcotics to Lewis' associates for a price that Lewis can tax," meaning the price could be marked up for a profit, Mahaley said in the affidavit. Hours after the call, Lewis and the friend, Angelo Jackson, met with the informant at an Atlanta restaurant, the affidavit said. There, Lewis and Jackson asked the informant how much cocaine the informant was capable of distributing, the affidavit alleges. Jackson and the informant met again on July 12, 2000, at a gas station in suburban Atlanta, the affidavit said. During the meeting, they discussed drugs, but no purchase was made. Lewis wasn't at the gas station. His attorney, however, said Lewis was at the restaurant, but not for the reason alleged in the indictment. Jackson was also indicted and arrested Wednesday. He faces the same counts and a third for attempt to possess with the intent to distribute cocaine. Ravens spokesman Chad Steele said the indictment came as a surprise to the team. "We had no clue," he said, adding that Lewis was in Florida. In a statement, the team said: "We believe in due process, and Jamal will have his day in court. There are two sides to every story. From what we know of the charges, these seem out of character for the Jamal we know." Ravens defensive end Anthony Weaver said: "I was surprised, but I don't about the facts. I know Jamal's character, and to me, he's always been a straightforward guy. I just hope he finds the right people to help him get through this." Lewis was the fifth pick overall in the 2000 draft, and signed that July with the Ravens. The NFL declined to comment. Last year, he became the fifth player in NFL history to rush for more than 2,000 yards. His 2,066 yards fell short of Eric Dickerson's record of 2,105 yards in the final game. He was the AP's Offensive Player of the Year. In November 2001, he was suspended for four games after violating the NFL's substance and alcohol abuse policy. The league did not disclose the details of the violation, in keeping with its policy. Lewis is the second Baltimore Raven to face serious charges in Atlanta. In 2000, star linebacker Ray Lewis — no relation to Jamal — was charged with murder along with two other men following a fight. FLAHERTY: Missouri may be top team in Big 12 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B stars from last season, including All-American senior Iosh Buhl. Nebraska is switching to a west coast passing attack and must find the quarterback to throw the ball. The defensive secondary should be great yet again, but can the offense keep up? Colorado may be the most talented team in the Big 12 North, but they were just as talented last year, and they have to deal with off-field scandals. Iowa State will improve, but will still be the bottom feeders in the North because it lost talented seniors and most of the players on the team are a year away from making a big impact. It seems strange to say, but Missouri may look like the top team in the Big 12 North for now. game that easily could have been much worse. This year should be closer, but Kansas could win in Columbia. But remember, Kansas drubbed Missouri 35-14 in a And then there's Kansas. All of the factors seem to lean towards the Jayhawks. They have the returning talent, addressed several needs with the recruiting class and have a coach hitting his stride. The biggest change may be the attitude. "We're not going to concede any games to anybody," Coach Mark Mangino said. "We're going to go out and meet the competition head on." In a Big 12 North that is this close, the difference between first and fourth may be just a few big plays. This year, Kansas has the players to make those plays. This year, Kansas could go to the Big 12 Championship. Flaherty is Lenexa senior in journalism. Freshman center David Padgett battled for possession of the ball during Monday's 82-67 loss to Texas. Kansas' next game is Sunday when it plays Oklahoma at Allen Fieldhouse. I Eric Braem/Kansan BASKETBALL: Lee, Graves best off bench CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B "We have good guys on the bench but certainly there has been a drop off when you go to it," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Our bench hasn't been as consistent or good over time as we had hoped it would. That doesn't mean that it can't be." Both Lee and Graves were integral parts of the Jayhawks' run to the National Championship game last March. Between the two of them, they averaged a combined 14.9 points per game in the team's final 10 contests. This season, they have been Kansas' only scoring threats from the bench and are combining to average just 10.2 points per game. The next leading scoreer off the bench this season is Jeff Hawkins at 2.2 points per game, but his minutes have dwindled in recent contests. Although Kansas may have taken away more from its trip to Austin than any of its previous losses, the season has reached the point where learning experiences count for virtually nothing. In a few weeks there will be no "next game." "Moral victories don't tally up as wins," Langford said. "We didn't go down there to say we did some things alright." - Edited by Abby Mills 22 8 Kansas senior Matt Tribble slid into second base as OakInd junior Bryan DeLamielleure made the out during yesterday's game. Kansas beat Oakland 17- 4, with nine runs scored in the first inning. Courtney Kublen/Kensaf CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B BLOWOUT: Matt Baty injured not let up as they scored five runs in the second and third innings combined. Senior infielder Ryan Baty drilled his second homerun of the year and junior infielder Travis Metcalf hit his team-leading fifth homerun. Matt Baty was drilled in the back of the head in his second at bat and was taken out for precautionary reasons. According to Price, Baty suffered a mild concussion that could keep him out of today's series finale. The early onslaught of runs enabled Price to give every field player and the majority of his bullpen an opportunity to play. "I think it is a great reward for how hard those guys work everyday," Price said. "It's a great feeling as a coach when you get to reward your entire team." The relief staff gave up three hits in five innings of work. Freshman right-handed pitcher Ryotaro Hayakawa and sophomore left-handed pitcher Chris Jones both saw their first action out of the bullpen this year. "We just need to sweep this home stand," Richardson said. "It's going to be tough because they are going to come out fired up for sure." The last game in the series is today at 3 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark. —Edited by Robert Perkins SHARK'S SURF SHOP HUGE SELECTION SUITS GUESS ROXY OCEAN PACIFIC VIX ESPIRIT L SPACE WOMEN'S SUITS! 813 MASS/841-8289 Iraq: Geographies of Reconstruction Y.

V Henry K, written by Lawrence playwright Dan Born, is an entertaining play set in the fictional town of Rolliston, Iowa. The play explores the fallout that occurs when a small-town district attorney indicts an ex-statesman for the 30-year-old murder of her father. During her quest for justice, Penny, the district attorney, falls in love with a local media personality, Tom Brixton, who is helping her with the case. Their charming romance provides a backdrop during Penny's mission for justice against the superficial, powerful and dictatorial man named Henry K, who she believes orchestrated her father's murder. Throughout the prosecution, Penny is warned and threatened by Henry K to drop the case against him. Frightened, but still determined, Penny decides to proceed with her mission for justice. In the end, Penny realizes that she needs Tom and her attorney to help her rise up and carry on the fight. Tickets for this event are $5 for all ages. This production is put on by the E.M.U.

Mon. 3/1 Praise the 'Lord' Mary Lou Lord started out performing in the subways of Boston and London, England. The Kill Rock Stars label discovered her in 1994 while in the midst of one of her underground sessions. Apparently, all a girl needs is her guitar and a room with good acoustics. Lord tests this theory tonight at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire, at 10 p.m. Come hear her folk-rock tunes for $7-9. With Lord are Gingersol, a Los Angeles band that reminds one of early Wilco, and singer Eric Hurst. Anyone over age 18 is welcome to attend.

I'm the one in a group of picture-posing friends who always says, "Oh, I wish I had remembered my camera!" These days, my camera isn't the only thing I forget. Forgetting is all too easy. As time marches on, names, places and events from our childhood and adolescence become obscure. Even the images branded in our heads begin to tarnish. All the more reason to start scrapbooking. I'm a perfectionist, so the time commitment involved in scrapbooking overwhelms me. Susan Lee Cary works for Creative Memories as a home-based consultant of scrapbook instruction and supplies. She says scrapbooking is about album-making, not art-making. Cary says that once you've gotten a grip on the materials and layouts you can pop out pages in five to 10 minutes. The key is simplicity — details will clutter your design. "Enhance the pictures, but don't overpower them," Cary says. An album page has three major components: a background, a title and caption. You can make the backdrop with patterned paper, die-cuts, stickers, ribbons or anything else two-dimensional. Keep in mind, embellishments should compliment, not distract. The folks at Scrapbooking.com magazine suggest using one enlarged image per page, which creates a clean and powerful look. This technique focuses on the people instead of the frou-frou. They also recommend changing a picture with "busy" colors into a black and white photograph in order to draw attention to the people rather than overpowering colors. You might think that everything we ever need to know about scrapbooking we learned in kindergarten—not true. Although knowing how to cut and paste neatly is a plus, scrapbook preparation involves many techniques. Courtney Kratina, Omaha, Neb., senior, is an aquateur scrapbooker with eight years of "cropping" experience. (Cropping is starg for scrapbooking.) Her eyes seem to spin in a speechless fashion when I fire my first draft question. Her twisted gaze says: "There is too much to tell," and "Where do I begin?" Bless her heart if she doesn't spaw her guts instead. Sifting through pages and pages of memories, Kratina Indulges me with tricks, tips and techniques of the trade. She suggests listing the themes associated with your pictures before you purchase background paper and accessories. This will save you money and time when shopping. The next trick is to buy in bulk. Solid-colored paper, pens and some embellishments can be purchased in large amounts. However, and this is important, all materials should be acid-free to prevent pages from naturally deteriorating. To keep spreads crisp and fingerprint-free, Kratina says using clear, protective page slips is a must. "For all the work that goes into it, it's stupid not to," Kretina says about the page slips. "It's like buying an expensive baseball card and not having a cover for it." Kratina admits to feeling overwhelmed and disappointed with the making of her first book. She advises first-timers to start small. "Don't do your most important book the first time. It won't turn out how you like," Kratina says. "Take on the little projects." These words are encouragement to my ears. No need for grandiose displays of pub crawls, formals and the whole college experience, but rather slices of life. It's not necessary to deactivate the eye, but to display your images. Cary crops to a similar tune—"Life is a two-page spread." "Get them in the album now so you can start showing people," Cary says.

You've been standing there for 15 minutes and the line hasn't moved an inch. You pull your credit card out of your wallet so you don't waste any time digging around later. And to top it all off, could that guy behind you on the phone stand any closer? You can practically hear both sides of his conversation. Can't they hurry up already? The cashier yells "Next!" and you rush up to the register, make your purchase and walk out the door home-free. Except you were just a victim of identity theft. What you weren't aware of was that the guy behind you in line wasn't really making a call; he was taking pictures of your credit card so he could do a little bit of shopping of his own. Patro says he noticed a group of people standing 15 to 20 feet away from the phone booth he was using. He thought they were taking pictures of a nearby family, but they were actually filming Patro as he punched his password onto the keypad. The group then sold his number to numerous drug dealers in South America. The dealers ran up a phone bill of several thousand dollars. Tim Phillips, sergeant of the Baxter County, Ark. police department, says that the use of camera phones by criminals has increased identity theft by 20 percent in some areas of the country. Phillips is the author of the recent article "Phones are criminal's paradise" in Central Arkansas' The Baxter Bulletin Online. The article has faced a lot of criticism. Several Web sites, including techdirt.com, say that camera phone identity theft isn't possible because the criminal would have to stand too close to the card holder to capture the numbers. But for Tom Patro, camera identity theft is all too real. Patro, vice president of sales at Working Spaces in Kansas City, Mo., was at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago two years ago on business. He needed to call home so he pulled out his MCI phone card, punched in his password, made the call and went on his way. Several days later Patro received a call from MCI asking him when he last used his calling card. After Patro told the representative he hadn't used the card since Chicago, he was informed that he was a victim of identity theft. photo: Megan True Phillips says his friend was in a similar situation. The friend was standing in a long line at a Radio Shack in the Kansas City area, so he removed his credit card from his wallet while he waited to save time. He became impatient and found himself casually glancing at the card. That's when the person standing behind him took pictures of his card. Phillips says that he doesn't want to make people paranoid, he just wants to make people aware of their surroundings. "Not every one that has this type of cell phone is a criminal. I do find it sad that some criminals use whatever means available to commit forgery and theft. Whatever happened to an honest day's work?" Phillips says. Ted Frederickson, professor of journalism, says the only thing criminal about Patro's situation was that the people sold the phone card number and used it for personal use; the actual act of taking pictures of people in public without consent is perfectly legal according to privacy law. But Frederickson, who teaches a class in journalism ethics, says that it is unethical to secretly take pictures of people. He says cell phone ads are partially to blame for an increase of this practice in society. He says that there are many ads on television that show people taking secret pictures with their camera phones, telling America that it is OK. always watching us, and now we have to be afraid of each phones.

Don't be the next victim of identity theft: >Do not remove your credit card from your wallet or purse until you are ready to use it. > Avoid handing your credit card face up to the cashier. Hand it face down, covering your signature on the back with the palm of your hand or thumb. > Do not sign your receipt where others can easily read it. > If someone is standing a little too close to you while using a cell phone, it is better to politely ask him or her to kindly allow more space than to become a victim of identity theft. >Casinos, professional stadiums, concert halls and large amusement parks are a criminal's feeding grounds. Be careful there. — Tim Phillips, Baxter County, Ark., police department 2.26.04 Jayplay 5 11 Battles Battles fit for Warriors University of Kansas students and swordplay enthusiasts duke it out monthly at the Granada theatre It looks like a scene Battles fit for C 爱 It looks like a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie, where 21st-century law has been replaced by medieval rules. In front of about 100 people swilling booze there are two men leering at each other in what looks like an old orchestra pit. On the stage, where there is usually a rock band or booty-shaking dancers, there are more than a hundred weapons: lances, short swords, rapiers, spears, maces and, for the cautious, (or for the unsure of themselves) shields. Behind the weaponry is a woman, perhaps a judge overseeing what looks to be a battle. By Neil Mulka, Jayplay writer 11 photos: Jeff Brandsted Kevin Smith, Madison, W.Va., senior, defended himself from a barrage of incoming weaponry Monday night at a barbarian battle demonstration in the Student Fitness Recreation Center. The two men rummage through the weaponry, looking for the proper tool to pummel their opponent into submission. "Hurry up! I wanna see some blood!" heckles a woman at a table close to the metal bars that separate the warriors from the spectators. Her mates pound the table with their fists and glasses of beer, growing impatient. The fighters choose their weapons: one, bearded and wearing leather armor, clenches two short swords, while the other, in a ratty T-shirt and jeans, wields a mace and a shield. They approach the center of the pit where a man with a shaved head stands, towering over both of them. "No head or groin blows. Only limbs and kills are allowed," he says to the fighters. Both of the fighters nod, acknowledging the sport of honor. The shouting man is Jim Gasser, known as the Barbarian and the one who oversees these battles. "Now fight!" he commands. The fighters pounce on each other like starved alley cats battling for scraps of a dead mouse. A jolt of energy sweeps through the air as the two fighters clash to the cheers of the crowd. It's not a b-movie warrior flick, but just another Monday night Barbarian Battle at the Granada Theatre, 1020 Massachusetts St. Organized by Gasser, Barbarian battles are one-on-one bouts where people fight using medieval fighting techniques and replica weaponry made of PVC pipe, foam and duct tape. Gasser says that barbarian fighting is a sport that provides a good workout that can be done by people of all body types, ages and genders. It's better than Tae-Bo or other home workouts, he says, because people can participate in tournaments and win cash prizes. Practices, led by Gasser, last for about two hours and cover striking, blocking and weapon technique through sparring and shadow fighting. During his instruction at a recent practice, Gasser's head shone with sweat as he taught his pupils how to defend against falchion (a type of short sword) attack with a spear. Participants' faces turned red as they copied his moves during spars. "This [barbarian fighting] is my passion," Gasser says. "There's nothing more I would like to do than pick up a sword, fight all day and go to bed feeling drained and exhausted." Tournament fighting itself is more physically demanding than the practices, says Deborah Dalton, or Paladin, as she's known during the tournaments. The Topeka junior, also a member of the University of Kansas Fencing Club, says the exercise from individual bouts is comparable to fencing matches. She participated in the last tournament at the Granada on Monday, Feb. 2., and plans to battle it out in the upcoming Barbarian Battles on March 1 at the Granada. DeVee Moser, president of the KU Fencing Club and participant in the battles, stresses that even though a fencing background is helpful in barbarian battles, the tournaments are different. Fencing has more stringent rules — only one-handed weapons and no shields. In barbarian battle tournaments, shields and two-handed weapons are allowed. Moser, referred to as Moon Goddess during barbarian tournaments, made it all the way to the semi-finals of the last competition. Names reminiscent of fantasy books are common at barbarian tournaments. Participants name themselves after popular characters from fantasy novels, after their fighting style or after random things they make up. 6 Jayplay 2.26.04 "I never felt like such a man before. I am definitely going back to whack some more people." للحافظة One-on-one fights last one minute and 30 seconds during a regular round and two minutes during semi-final and final rounds. During that time, opponents strike and block each other, trying to earn the most points by the end of the period. Despite the constant whacking, there has not been a major injury at the battles. At random times during the evening, the audience can grab a weapon and have a group melee. Matt Overstreet, Augusta graduate student, went to the Barbarian Battle on a whim and jumped right into the melee. "I never felt like such a man before," Overstreet says. "I am definitely going back to whack some more people." Gasser insists the fighters at the tournaments remember they are there for a good time and not to hurt each other. He says fighters are also on an honor system, where they must report all of the blows that judges don't see. Not being able to see all of the blows is a major challenge in the dimly lit Granada, Gasser says. Kevin Smith, a Madison, W.Va, senior, and Barbarian Battle participant, not only enjoys the physical aspect of the battle, but he also enjoys the "warrior spirit" element. The spirit embodies the honor code that the tournament has, adds discipline and the responsibility of wielding a weapon. Smith, who christened himself Gunner for tournament play, is no stranger to being a warrior after spending four years in the Marine Corps and five years in the U.S. Army. He likens barbarian battles to martial arts. The barbarian tournaments in Lawrence came from the Kansas City Renaissance Festival in Bonner Springs, where Gasser and Smith work. Gasser, the official "Barbarian" at the festival, was turned on to this style of fighting from other festival participants two years ago. He was immediately hooked and wanted more than just Renaissance buffs to enjoy the sport. By taking it to bars such as the Granada, Gasser says he is bringing the sport to a much wider audience. Right now he admits the pool of fighters isn't very diverse and is limited to medieval, Renaissance and swordplay enthusiasts. the Granada was in December and brought in 12 fighters; the second, in February, so people duke it out and about 100 spectators. Gasser is predicting about 50 fighters will exchanging blows at the next Barbarian Battle on March 1, thanks to word of mouth and fliers around Lawrence and the Kansas City area. Kevin Smith, Madison, W.Va., senior, sometimes wears chainmail armor during barbarian tournaments. Smith also works at The Leather Rose, an artisan booth, during the Renaissance Festival in Bonner Springs. 2 in Lawrence and Ground the world. Organizations such as Dagorhir, Society for Creative Anachronism and Darkon all offer barbarian fighting similar to Gasser's classes and tournaments, but on a grander scale, involving hundreds of people, organized teams and camp-outs. Where tournament held at the Granada have more of a "come as you are" attitude, these organizations require proper medieval dress, have more stringent rules and an organized ranking system. Darkon goes beyond weapon fighting and allows participants to grapple and cast spells in order to knock points off each other during battles. Smith, an assistant manager of a leather armor and goods booth at the Renaissance Festival, says joining these clubs requires a cost of up to several hundred dollars in order to buy the proper clothing and make the proper weaponry. Gasser wants to take his tournaments in a different direction than these costly organizations. He wants to organize fraternity vs. fraternity battles. He thinks that fraternity members would enjoy battling one another for prizes over a few beers. Gasser is working on creating audience participation tournaments at the next Renaissance Festival. He wants more participation because a lot of people just come to the festival and shop. "You go to the festival and you can shoot an arrow, watch a joust, play some games and that's about it," Gasser says. "The rest of the day you're just shopping. I want something that people can get into." Gasser also has a loftier goal with these battles. "I kind of want to make a reality television show out of this." — Neil Mulka can be reached at nmulka@kansan.com. 2.26.04 Jayplay 7 Gas Station Delight Get your Mexican kicks at Phillips 66 After a long day of work at a Barny's restaurant in Pasadena, Calif., Angel Alvarez approached his doorstep and was greeted by a knife. His attacker ordered him to hand over his wallet and keys. Alvarez complied and the robber knocked him unconscious. Two months later Alvarez went on a three-week vacation to DeSoto, Kan. to visit four uncles and find a new and safer life. Within two weeks he found a job for himself and his wife at a McDonald's, and the couple moved to Lawrence. Alvarez had eight years of cooking experience, and he soon found his way into the kitchens of Lawrence restaurants such as the Hereford House. The pace of Lawrence life suited Alvarez, who is from a small farm in the Mexican state of Jalisco. But something was missing from the city; authentic Mexican cuisine. Alvarez and his wife Laura Romero would make weekend trips to Kansas City in order to find a taste of home. Four months ago, a friend who worked at the Mexican restaurant Calientes, located inside a Phillips 66 gas station, told Alvarez that the place was going out of business. Alvarez decided to take a risk and start his own restaurant. "I opened because I had the chance. I didn't open because I have the money," Alvarez says. At Tortas Jalisco, 3300 W.6th St., Alvarez offers Mexican dishes made from scratch. The gas station setting often means the restaurant gets overlooked, but it's slowly gaining a reputation as the most authentic Mexican restaurant in Lawrence. Tortas are Mexican style sandwiches and a specialty at Tortas Jalisco. One of the restaurant's most popular sandwiches is the Torta Tinga. Priced around $5, this homemade gem features chicken marinated in chipolte sauce with beans, lettuce and tomato. The chipolte sauce is prepared from scratch daily, as are all of Alvarez's sauces. Fresh, hot tortilla chips accompany each sandwich. The salsa is made from freshly boiled tomatoes, which creates a lighter shade of red, compared to canned salsa found at most U.S. restaurants. Combined with fresh peppers and other ingredients, Alvarez's salsa makes for a wonderfully smooth and spicy dip. Tortas Jalisco also offers tacos, dinner platters, breakfast burritos and specialty dishes. Traditional beverages and desserts are available to complete the experience. Alvarez makes horchata — a tasty blend of rice, cinnamon and water, and jamaica — a mix made from the Jamaica flower, tea, water and sugar. You can also buy a 500-milliliter bottle of Coca-Cola labeled in Spanish. For dessert, try a Gansito- brand snack cake, a favorite among Mexican children. While the food is excellent, Tortas Jaliscos still faces the challenge of all new restaurants: finding enough customers to stay in business. The location has advantages and disadvantages. "A lot of people think because we are in a gas station, it's not good quality food," Alvarez says. On the plus side, Alvarez says every person who walks through the door is a potential customer. he gains experience for advertising, so he gains experience in Mexico graduate students, heard about Tortas Jalisco and a Spanish professor. Cano says they searched for good Mexican restaurants since their arrival in January 2002, but found some only in Kansas City. Discovering Tortas Jalisco has thrilled the couple. "After months of not trying something that good, it tastes like heaven," Mojica says. "It's as good as it gets here." Mojica says the gas station location doesn't bother him. In fact, he thinks it makes the restaurant more authentic because you can find similar restaurants any Mojica says the gas station lo he thinks it makes the restaurant find similar restaurants anywhere in Mexico. Cano agrees that some of the best places are the small ones. Tortas Jalisco certainly is small. It only seats 20 people but offers carryout and drive-thru. What it lacks in size it makes up for in taste and character. Alvarez's friendly and caring attitude makes you feel right at home and proves how passionate he is about his food. He often leaves the kitchen to chat with customers and give out free food. When he prepares specialty dishes, he calls his customers to let them know. Gabriel DeLeon, co-owner of La Margarita, a Mexican restaurant in Irvine, Texas, says a personal touch is what makes a restaurant stand out. DeLeon's father started L 10 Margarita in 1988 but had to locate to Red Oak, Texas because of cost. The restaurant did not advertise but succeeded through word of mouth. In 1990 La Margarita relocated to Irvine. DeLeon says the key to staying in business is to start small and be friendly with customers. "When an owner comes up and shakes a customer's hand it means a lot," DeLeon says. "Just saying hi goes a long way." If DeLeon's suggestions really are a recipe for success, Alvarez is certainly on the right track. His humble location, friendly demeanor and delicious cuisine add up to an excellent dinning experience — so spread the word. — Melissa Frankel can be reached at mfrankel@kansan.com.

If you're like me, you enjoy some appetizing Chinese food every once in a while and Lawrence has many to offer. But locating a Chinese restaurant that meets your own personal tastes is a whole different story. Recently, I found one that I really enjoyed. Royal Peking, 711 W. 23rd St., boasts some of the most delectable Chinese food that Lawrence has to offer. During my first visit to the restaurant, I ordered a dish called Chicken Pepperada. It consisted of chunks of chicken in a spicy sauce with onions, carrots and green peppers. It came with a side of white rice. The portion was large, which was nice; and the vegetables were crunchy and fresh. The sauce was tasty, but was missing the spicy zing that the dish advertised. I also ordered a side of eggrolls, which were average-tasting. The food was good, but it was a bit pricey — including a tip I ended up dishing out $14 for one meal. Overall, though, it was worth it. Next time, save the money from those three weekly trips to McDonalds, and treat yourself to a meal at Royal Peking. — Kevin Kampwirth can be reached at kkampwirth@kansan.com.

What If. History was rewritten? Would you respond to this The image is too blurry to read clearly. It appears to be a grayscale photograph of a person with a serious expression. Willmott prides himself in the film's edgy content. He wanted to approach slavery head on and from a new angle. To create this new look, Willmott knew he needed a versatile cinematographer. Fortunately, he was sharing an office with Matt Jacobson, also an assistant professor for the film department. The script blew Jacobson away. "What it says is too important to not listen to," Jacobson says. By April 2000 Willmott and Jacobson were shooting their first scene, a commercial for a show called Runaways. In the scene a group of CBI agents chase down runaway slaves, pulling them out of car trunks, running through backyards and viciously throwing them to the ground. The scene is eerily similar to an average commercial for Cops. During this shoot Jacobson realized he had to make the film like he was from the CSA universe. He was expected to shoot images that were disturbing and it took him a while to get past that. Rick Cowan, the film's producer, says that many actors were uncomfortable with some of the derogatory or racist things they had to say. Cowan admired Willmott's ability to assure the cast and crew that they were creating satire. By approaching slavery from the opposite view point, the artists realized a vision. "When you make these choices it's tougher for the other people. I think that's what was great about the film, they trusted me. They had to trust me," Willmott says. Production on the film lasted until Spring 2003. The three-year shoot would take place over furiously busy weekends and holidays. The crew would shoot for two days straight to get two minutes of film and then pack everything up for weeks until they could afford to get the film developed. Willmott says funding was the major obstacle when making the movie, typical for an independent film. He received two grants of about $10,000 each, one from the National Black Programming Consortium and the other from the KU New Faculty Research. As soon as he received the grants, Willmott began shooting. Then he'd take the bits and pieces of film he had and show them to investors to try to raise more money. Even under a tight budget the crew shot the scenes the way they wanted to. "The goal is to make the film you want to make," Willmott says. He completed CSA for less than $1 million. That's nearly impossible to do in the film industry. Cold Mountain, a recent Civil War "reunion" movie, cost $80 million. THE RITCHIE MAYOR LETTERS FROM HILARY BROWN Kevin Willmott gets cozy with new producer Spike Lee at The Sundance Film Festival. Photo: University Relations Willmott's first "movies" cost him much less. He loved the movies as a child and would spend hours at the Junction City movie theater watching Godzilla throw Mothra across the screen and John Wayne duke it out with the villain of the week. Through these films Willmott developed an affinity for history, although it was Hollywood's history. This passion for the past has been an inspiration for most of Willmott's work. These movies inspired a sixth-grade Willmott to start writing stories with the kids in his class cast as military men or cowboys. "They were like bad John Wayne movies," Willmott says. "The guys I didn't like would get killed." Willmott loses it, laughing, when he talks about the stories today. Another movie from this time period that affected Willmott was Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Though Willmott wouldn't see it until well after its 1964 release, the film's style and sense of humor greatly affected Willmott's career, particularly CSA. Willmott admired the way director Stanley Kubrick dealt with humor in the movie. In both Dr. Strangelove and CSA, the humor comes from a false absurdity. In CSA the audience thinks they're laughing at a racist world that never occurred. In Dr. Strangelove the audience thinks they're laughing at nuclear annihilation. Both films make the point that these consequences have in some ways already occurred. In 1971, Melvin Van Peebles' Sweet Sweetback's Bad Asssss Song played in Junction City. Willmott loved the film, and it gave him hope to see an African American director making a movie for African Americans. Sweet Sweetback was the first Blaxploitation film. Blaxploitation was a film movement in the '70s, featuring African-American directors guiding African-American protagonists for African-American audiences. Willmott says activism is an important part of his filmmaking. Being an activist for civil rights, anti-war movements and the homeless has fueled a passion for the stories he tells on the screen and on the stage, Willmott says. A good filmmaker has to know what they believe before they have something to say. Coady also encouraged Willmott to go to college, something unheard of in Willmott's neighborhood. Willmott went to Marymount College in Salina. He found his first success as an artist there writing plays. At Marymount he crafted a play called Ninth Street. Set in 1968 the play allows audiences to witness the exploits of several residents of a city block in downtown Junction City. The play even features a Catholic priest named Frank Coady. In high school Willmott began writing plays with hopes that he would some day be able to make his own movies, like his hero Van Peebles. In 1974 Willmott was kicked out of public school for being involved in a riot. During this troubled time Willmott received help from a Catholic priest named Frank Coady. Willmott says Coady was the most instrumental person in his life. Coady helped Willmott enroll at St. Xavier's High School, where Willmott began writing plays. Coady also got Willmott interested in activism, especially for the homeless. Ninth Street was well received and it won Willmott acceptance into New York University, for graduate studies. At NYU Willmott converted Ninth Street into a screenplay. After finishing his studies at NYU, Willmott returned to Kansas to focus on producing the film. He began production in 1991. Ninth Street would take almost a decade to make. Rick Cowan also served as a producer for Ninth Street. "With Ninth Street it was a bunch of guys who had no idea how to make a movie," Cowan says. Released in 1999, the film featured Willmott, Isaac Hayes, Queen Bey and Martin Sheen as Father Frank. After filming of CSA was completed, the movie screened to a sold-out crowd at Liberty Hall. The audience roared at the opening commercial but as the film flickered on the laughter died. The crowd giggled nervously as they watched history rewritten. Willmott and Jacobson had accomplished their first goal: the movie had the effect they wanted. Their second goal — the Sundance Film Festival — was equally auspicious. in both Dr. Strangelove and CSA, the humor comes from a false absurdity. In CSA the audience thinks they're laughing at a racist world that never occurred. In Dr. Strangelove the audience thinks they're laughing at nuclear annihilation. Both films make the point that these consequences have in some ways already occurred. "We're not willing to talk about race relations in this country.

Or do you need to spice things up with the lady? Then consider a makeover for your bedroom. With $100, one assistant and a couple of hours, transforming a bland bedroom to an intimate getaway is fun, easy and worth the effort. there. By just rearranging things you are able to dramatically change a space." It isn't rare these days to hear of couples searching for ways to liven up their relationships. Each year, couples attempt to harness their lust by embarking on exotic vacations, dining at overpriced restaurants, or buying outrageous diamond rings. However, few couples realize that creating a more intimate environment in their bedroom might be the key to a successful relationship. Laurie Bornstein, a Feng Shui designer and owner of Living Space Designs in Lawrence, advises couples wanting to redesign their bedrooms to stand back and examine their existing spaces. Then, with closed eyes, picture what they believe to be a perfect space. "You want balance and strength in a relationship, and you can achieve this by allowing each person to imagine their ideal space. This gets a couple to cooperate," Bornstein says. With this advice, I sought out a couple who was willing to have their cluttered bedroom transformed into a romantic environment. Mike Garcia, Lee's Summit, Mo., junior, and Kara Asher, Overland Park freshman, agreed that their relationship was good, but thought the room makeover might spice things up a bit. "Right now we don't spend too much time in my room. I only am in there to do only homework. But if my room was redone, we might be able to hang out there a little more," Garcia says. Mike and Kara were up for anything. So, with $100 and a few designer tips, a partner and I set off to find the perfect items to improve the quality of Mike and Kara's bedroom and relationship. Rest on the table with the perfect items to improve the quality of Mike and Kara's bedroom and relationship. The first thing my partner and I noticed about the room was that it needed color, especially on the walls. Bornstein explained that it is important to find wall colors that are warm and inviting. Next, we decided there needed to be softer elements of lighting in the room. Four large windows screamed sunlight. Adding a floor lamp and shutting the blinds, we were able to cast light from the ceiling softly about the room. We invested in a variety of candles that made the room feel cozier and more personal. Bornstein says choosing lighting for a room is important. "Your lights in your bedroom should embrace you and make you feel warm," she says. "Sort of like a big bear hug." However, we didn't have the time to paint, so we decided to settle for color in other places. We accented an already large window in the room with warm red fabric laced around a silver steel curtain rod. This gave the window more character and added depth to the room. That same material was draped across a chest at the foot of the bed. These minor alterations draw your attention away from the barren white walls. Bornstein says most couples are afraid of adding color to their walls because it is such a dramatic change. So, by adding small hints of color like the curtains and the fabric at the end of the bed, we hope to convey what the walls might look like if they were painted. With hints of color and lighting in place, we decided to add other livelier features such as exotic plants, a mirror with silver molding and a single picture frame on the bedside table. Bornstein stressed the importance of a clutter and photography-free room. "You don't want all your friends and family baring down on you in your bedroom. One photo of them is enough." We had poured all of our items into the room and had $13 to spare. But we were scratching our heads. Something was missing. Or so we thought. We spent the entire time focusing on new items, but this was wrong. Bornstein says you don't have to add new items to create a new romance. "Most couples already have what you need right "Rearranging allows you to manipulate the energy in your space so that you feel better about your bedroom and yourself," Bornstein says. Taking her advice, we moved the bed away from the wall and directly under large the windows. This made the room appear more spacious. With only minutes left, my partner and I were in a scramble to put the final touches on the room. For the past two hours Mike and Kara had not seen anything we had done. It was now time to unveil our work. As the door squeaked and swung open, Mike and Kara walked in. Their eyes drifted about the room and a look of awe came upon both their faces. My partner and I knew we had succeeded. When we asked Mike and Kara what they liked most about their "new" room, they explained they liked the arrangement most of all. "I had always wanted my bed in the middle of the room, but thought it would take up too much space," Garcia says. Even roommate Alex Raines felt the room's redesign was a good idea. "Mike's room was boring. Now it has more space, is brighter and warmer. I'm sure that Mike will feel more comfortable here and the redesign will certainly have desirable effects on his relationship." So, the next time you and your partner think about ways of adding zest to your romantic relationship, a good place to start might be in the bedroom. Remember, with a little give and take and a small budget you can design a bedroom that will make you and your partner discover the romance you thought you never had. — Brant Stacy can be reached at bstacy@kansan.com. 14 Jayplay 2.26.04 bitch + Moan bitch + moan QA Elizabeth Blasco and Chris Tackett (Advice that's natural and 100 percent additive-free) I recently ran into my ex and overheard him trash talking me to a bunch of his friends. I'm unset because I don't think that it's fair for him to run his mouth like that about me to people I don't know. How should I handle this? - Lindsay, junior Elizabeth: The next time you run into this fool, tell him that his behavior is unfair and unacceptable. Also realize that when he talks bad about you inadvertently casts himself in a negative way to others. Knowing that he ultimately looks like an ass should make you feel a little better, right? QA Chris: If you march up to someone and start yelling in their face, they're going to 'think you're a psycho bitch. And that'll give him a great story to tell his friends and make fun of you even more! If you seriously care about what your EX-boyfriend is saying, you need to get over it. Be happy you're not still dating the jerk. My boyfriend has too much body hair. It really grosses me out I wish that he would do something about it but to tell him this, but I don't want to hurt his face. How do I bring it up? Elizabeth: Honey, tell your boyfriend that spa services (read: waxing) aren't just for women. Better yet, book an appointment for him. 84 Chris: Whoa Elizabeth! Stop the pain train! There's no need for your guy to start ripping hair from his body! Waxing is an option, but trimming the hair should be the first step. If he doesn't already have a beard trimmer, buy him one with adjustable length guards so he can SAFELY trim the hair hedges. Tell him to use a #2 or #1 guard on all the overly hairy places. This process, called "manscaping," will probably have to be done every few weeks. And after he trims the hair hedges you better make it worth his while! --grease it's still the word! Tuesday, March 16 7:30 p.m. Elizabeth: I hate to tell you this Pat, but if she says that she won't do it, then you are going to have to accept that. Can't deal? Find a new girl who enjoys the act just as much as you do. Clinic: Elizabeth may actually be right for once. There will always be people who think oral sex is gross. But don't give up just yet. Like in the previous question, do a little manescaping down south and see if that helps. She might just be turned off by your hairy package. ?

Josh Eustis and Charles Cooper weave lush orchestrations, beautiful vocals, and subtle electronic glitches and beats into masterpieces. The album incorporates several vocalists, whose soulful style could be considered cheesy, if it weren't for the brilliant production of Eustis and Cooper. If there is a way to bring a new definition of soul music into the limelight, Telefon Tel Aviv captures it on this disc. Map of What is Effortless is full of warmth, beauty and headphoneworthy production. This is one of the most moving albums I have heard in the past year and worth checking out. Grade: A — Casey Boyer, host of "Breakfast for Beatlovers" 9 a.m. to noon Mondays Air Talkie Walkie Squarepusher Ultravisitor Every so often an album entrances the college radio circuit with a refusal to let up. The French duo Jean-Benoit Dunckel and Nicolas Godin, known as Air, has released another pleasing atmospheric pop record that has KJHK hitting play repeatedly. Upon first listen, it is nearly impossible not to draw parallels to the duo's 1998 debut, Moon Safari, which achieved global commercial success. Laden with haunting and beautiful melodies, Talkie Walkie once again proves that Air is a master of down tempo soundscapes. "Alone in Kyotoa," the single composed for Sophia Coppala's Lost in Translation, echoes the mood of the entire album: a melancholy erotica that touches at simplicity as it slowly floats skywards. However, Talkie Walkie is different in that, for the first time no guest vocalists are used. Dunckel and Godin croon with minimal electronic voice effects. This is due to the production of Nigel Godrich, who delved out Radiohead's last four albums and Beck's Mutations. — Nick Ray, host of "Cultural Coitus" midnight to 2 a.m. Wednesdays Grade: A+ A good electronic artist is, at the beginning, like a child on a sugar high: crazy, and sporadic. But as all children do, electronic artists eventually mature. Sometimes it throws them off the charts into oblivion, but other times what they end up with is a masterpiece. This album is amazing in so many ways. First, the production is almost flawless. The tracks bleed into each other beautifully, taking the listener up and down, from hardcore drum bass to twisted electrojazz. This is what Squarepusher does. Sometimes it is overwhelming, sometimes it is just eerie. In the case of the Brit Tom Jenkinson, aka Squarepusher, the latter applies. His newest album, the yet-to-be-released Ultravisitor, has a more mature sound than his previous albums, but this is in no way a bad thing. This album is a beautiful mix of multiple genres, but at the same time. Squarepusher appears to bare his sweet tooth, as a few of the tracks are short, haunting electronic orchestras. So indulge, because this album should win an award. Grade: A+ - Collin LaJoie, KJHK DJ 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays Madlib Shades of Blue Blue Note Records was first established in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Francis Wolf. Since then Blue Note has revolutionized the standards of jazz recordings. Madlib, a.k.a. Otis Jackson Jr., released Shades Of Blue as a tribute to the renowned label and its unbelievable musicians. The record contains Madlib's remixes of his favorite and most influential Blue Note recordings from the 60s and 70s. The remixes add a new dimension to the Blue Note catalog through hip-hop production and guest MCs. Overall, the album is excellent from beginning to end and would be a great addition to the music collection of jazz lovers young and old.

The first is like the warning bell before a high school class — annoying, but helpful if you're afraid of being tardy. The latter buzzer means business. It's like the final boarding call when flying. My two alarms are essential because I work at 7:30 a.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Typically I'm not a morning person, but I've gotten used to lifting my saggy eyelids and stiff, sleepy bones knowing that a paycheck will be my reward. Most days, I'm up at 6:20 a.m., and it's cold. I'm huddled in my bed, snug as a bug, dreading putting my toes on the numbing wooden planks of my bedroom floor. Think money, think money. You're poor. Think money. Call in sick — they don't need you today. No! Think money, think money. Hesitantly, I push my denim comforter away from my chin. Without turning on the lights, I blindly shuffle to the bathroom. My morning ritual of bathing, teeth brushing, make-up applying and hair blow drying takes roughly 30 minutes. Now I've got 10 minutes to dress, grab breakfast and scurry out the door. I usually don't warm up the car in advance, so I'm forced to wear gloves while driving because the steering wheel stings my bare hands. Cold air circulates through the car's vents. I blast the radio to distract me from my shivering. I try singing, but my teeth chatter uncontrollably. God it's freaking cold; never mind it's early. As I turn south on Tennessee Street, I'm startled by its stillness and solitude. I notice what's unnoticeable during a midday or evening drive down the same street. Snow blankets the earth, sidewalks and cars. Long, menacing icicles have grown on the overhangs of steeply pitched roofs. Jagged limbs are shiny and almost iridescent as the suns peaks out from under the horizon. But this quiet, peaceful world is busy. While the campus rests, people are living. A soccer mom carpools her kids and the neighbors' kids to school; an electrician with a white van with a ladder on its roof travels BENNETT Illustration: Scott Drummond to his job site; a city worker bulldozes the snow to the side of the street. Everyone's moving, living their own routines. As a student, I've never been that fortunate. My day is full of erratic appointments, responsibilities and agendas. Sure, there are the basics: school, work, homework, social life. But everything's so jumbled. It's no wonder I forget about assignments. I jot down notes and reminders and even scribble important dates in my planner, but things still get missed. At the end of my workday, I'm coming home to group meetings, homework and studying. Even though I've stepped into the realm of 8 to 5, my other foot is still planted in Collegetown, U.S.A. I want to get out before the roots grow too deep. I'm relishing the transition that most people fear after they've received their diploma: go to work, then the gym, eat dinner, watch TV and fall asleep. It seems pretty monotonous, but the idea of having no other responsibilities besides work sounds delightful. As I drive and peer into the cars of strangers, I wonder about their lives and routines. Is she a bank teller, is he a house painter or a bus driver? Are they up with the sun and home before happy hour? Do they go home to kids, a dog or the television? I might not be a morning person, but I look forward to permanently adding Tuesdays and Thursdays to my early morning routine. When that happens, not only will it mean that I'm employed full-time (which my dad will love), but it will symbolize another step towards maturity. For now, I'll keep tugging on the foot that's been left behind. I think I feel it breaking free. — Liz Gibson can be reached at lgibson@kansan.com. 2.26.04 Jayplay 19 Weekly Specials @ Kansan.com Bulwark $1 Shot Special 75¢ Draws $2.50 Double Wells NEON - 80's Night $1 Shot Special $1 Wells $2.25 Domestic Bottles Project Groove $1 Shot Special $3 Red Bull & Vodka $1.50 Draws $2.25 Wells $1 off all Imports $1 Shot Special $2 Bottle Special $1 Shot Special $2 Bottle Special Martini Night All Martinis $3 Jumbo 32 oz.

But the difficulty associated with the course could cause them to miss out on the quality education that the University of Kansas offers, said Jeff Bremer, former Western Civilization teacher. The University will accept credit for Humanities and Western Civilization courses from five community colleges beginning in Summer 2004. The 10 schools that offer other Western Civilization courses will transfer as an elective credit only. Those colleges do not match the program at the University, which requires students to read 14 texts in original works, participate in discussion and learn about philosophy and literature. Barton County Community College offers an online course which many students use to their advantage. The University will no longer accept this for course credit after this semester despite its popularity among students.

"We made an offer that met what he said he would need in order to come," Shulenburger said. "We're very disappointed, but there are other options." C. J.

This is the fifth article in the series. Next week, the Kansan will look at the new plan for the Multicultural Resource Center. Increasing recycling on campus has long been a staple of Delta Force platforms and one that draws conservation-minded students to the coalition. "Delta Force was really involved in environmental issues, that's why I joined." Amanda Meglemre said. Meglemre, Overland Park senior, was involved in Delta Force in 2001 and 2002, an era that included Justin Mills' presidential term.Mills and running mate Kyle Browning were elected after campaigning on a platform that included getting recycling picked up on each floor of the residence halls. the floor-to-floor pickup became a reality last year. Though it's more convenient for students who want to recycle, there's some question if it has significantly increased the amount of recycling done at the University. Before the floor-to-floor pickup, KU Recycling would pick up recycling from a central location in each residence hall, usually on the ground floor or basement. But getting the recycling to that central location was up to each floor's residents. Some floors formed recycling committees to take care of it, others left it up to individuals. Meglemre was one of the Delta Force members who spearheaded the change to floor-to-floor pickup. The Department of Student Housing did not want to be involved, Meglemre said. So her group worked directly with KU Recvcling. Brian Thomas, Wichita, junior and KU Recycling employee, collected a sack of recyclables from the sixth floor of McCollum Hall on Wednesday afternoon. He and two other employees take about four hours to collect from every floor of campus residence halls. Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan Edited by Guillaume Doane KU Recycling collects recycling throughout the University. The group consists of a director, three crew leaders and five recycling technicians. The program receives funding from the University and Student Senate. In 1997, a $1 student fee was passed to help fund the program. That fee was increased to $2 in 2002. The additional money was used to fill part-time student staff positions. done smoothly. Celeste Fish, crew leader for KU Recycling, said her organization had been expanding before the change and the switch to floor-to-floor recycling was The switch might have been a minor change for KU Recycling, but it was a welcome one in the residence halls "It didn't alter us too much, it just took more time so we had to shift our schedule a bit." Fish said. She said three KU Recycling employees could usually clear all the residence hall floors in four hours. according to Diana Robertson, associate director of residence life. "It provided consistency and made sure there were recycling bins on every floor so it was no longer up to students," Robertson said. "I'm certain that we're recycling more now." SEE RECYCLING ON PAGE 7A By Lisa Coble lcoble@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Discussing sex is taboo for some doctors Medical practitioners hear about everything from bowels to backaches, but there's one subject they may not be so willing to discuss: sex. A psychologist at the University of Kansas Medical Center suggested doctors and others in the medical field may skim over important sexual issues because of conflicts with their own sexual values. Kim Vandgeeest-Wallace, Med Center psychologist, said some medical practitioners allowed their sexual values to influence how they deal with patients. For example, they might not suggest birth control to patients if they don't believe in contraceptives. A medical practitioner might be an anti-abortion activist and allow personal bias to enter into the doctor-patient conversation or try to avoid discussing abortion altogether with someone who wants one. Sarah Heidrick, Olathe sophomore, visits the doctor for annual checkups. She said she felt that her doctor was just doing his job by asking her about sex. Henry Buck, gynecologist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said it was possible for values to influence advice that medical practitioners give to their patients, but he didn't think it was a problem at Watkins. Buck said that about 80 percent of his patients were sexually active and that the staff at Watkins was dedicated to taking care of everyone. Even when a patient is shy about talking about sex, addressing sex is a doctor's responsibility, she said. "A lot of people are very private about sexuality and wouldn't appreciate being asked about it," she said. Donald Hatton, general internal medicine practitioner, said patients of the Chartered Reed Medical Group, located near Lawrence Memorial Hospital, often felt uncomfortable bringing up sexual issues, but doctors were willing to and ready to talk about them. Hatton said 60 percent of his SEX VALUES ON PAGE 7A "The first time my wife and I had seen the gun that actually killed Rachel." — Darrell Scott, whose daughter, Rachel, was killed in the Columbine High School shootings, on a new display of evidence from the tragedy. in other words news in brief 2A the university daily kansan CORRECTIONS friday, february 27, 2004 sion of opinion: All 16 Senate Democrats voted for the bill but the GOP split 15-15, with support coming from Republicans who traditionally take moderate positions on social issues as well as those usually aligned with conservative-backed stances.

STATE TOPEKA — Republican leaders promised yesterday to look for alternative education funding proposals after the Senate dispatched Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' plan and the House cut short its own school finance debate. Governor's education plan voted down in Legislature The Senate, on a 25-14 vote, rejected the governor's $304 million package to phase in higher taxes on property, sales and personal income over three years and earmark the revenue for specific uses in public schools. Majority Republicans, including Senate President Dave Kerr, supplied all the votes against the bill. Five Republicans and nine Democrats voted for it, and one Democrat abstained. Defeat of the plan had been expected, but Kerr said the chamber's consideration of it was a useful step in the school finance debate. The Associated Press Bill to allow cheaper tuition for illegal immigrants passes TOPEKA — A bill allowing illegal immigrants to pay cheaper, in-state tuition at Kansas' public universities won Senate approval yesterday and moved toward an uncertain fate in the House. The Senate passed the measure on a 25-15 vote that pointed up a broad division of opinion. with conservative bias Under the bill, students who are in the country illegally but have lived in Kansas at least three years would be charged the lower, resident tuition rate at public universities, community colleges and vocational colleges. Such students would have to prove that they are seeking citizenship or legal resident status. The House passed the measure in slightly different form last year on an 81-43 vote and must now consider whether to accept the changes made in the Senate. The Associated Press Typically, the two chambers would negotiate over such changes. But House Speaker Doug Mays said he might assign the bill to a committee for another full round of hearings and debate in his chamber. Kansas legislators pass bill to increase some speed limit TOPEKA — Motorists on some stretches of Kansas highway could see higher speed limits — but might to pay them special heed — under legislation passed by the Senate and sent to the House yesterday. The bill would let the Department of Transportation raise the speed limit to 75 mph on divided highways that have at least four lanes and a current limit of 70 mph Those conditions are probably met only on rural sections of Kansas' interstates, department officials have said. Freeways in urban areas would not qualify, nor would those that lack medians or barriers. Proponents contend the higher speed limit would make Kansas more attractive to those motorists who, they say, detour from Kansas to Nebraska so they can drive 75 mph on Interstate 80. Under current law, speeding tickets — which affect insurance rates — are only noted on a driver's record if he or she is caught going at least 10 mph above a posted limit of 55 mph or higher. The Associated Press Meatpacker plans to test its products for mad cow WICHITA—A Kansas meatpacker said yesterday it plans to voluntarily test every animal processed at its Arkansas City plant for mad cow disease, a move that has sent shudders throughout the U.S. beef industry and government regulators. John Stewart, chief executive officer of Creekstone Farms, said his company has assurances from its Asian customers they would accept his beef products if the company tests every carcass. Japan has insisted on 100 percent testing for bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE, before they reopen their market to U.S. beef. But the idea has been resisted by the Agriculture Department and the meatpacking industry as an unnecessary expense that does nothing to make beef safer. J. B.

Throughout the next three weeks Bryan Schubert, recruitment consultant for Pi Kappa Alpha, and Steve Sladek, chapter consultant, will work with the 10 existing members of the fraternity to restart the chapter. Schubert said. He and Sladek were invited by the University and existing members of the fraternity to recruit new members as well as appoint and train new officers and committee chairmen. They will meet with prospective members who have been recommended to them by administrators, faculty, sororities. coaches and alumni, Schubert said. Currently initiated members of Pi Kappa Alpha will also have to go through an interview process to be formally invited back into the organization, Schubert said. Jon Corbin, Sioux City, Iowa, junior and president of Pi Kappa Alpha, and a fellow member went to the fraternity's national headquarters in Memphis, Tenn., in January to ask for help with their recruitment efforts. "We're trying to get back to the days when Pike was a dominant fraternity," Corbin said. "In the '80s and '90s, Pike was huge at KU, and then it just kind of slowly fell off over the years." Schubert said he attributed the chapter's low numbers to a 1997 hazing incident that led to the chapter's temporary charter suspension. Pi Kappa Alpha national headquarters reviewed the chapter's membership and asked more than 80 percent of the men to leave, Schubert said. "Since then, the chapter has never really recovered from that," Schubert said. Corbin said it was also difficult for the fraternity to recruit new members without a chapter house because of stereotypes that "actual" fraternities have chapter houses. By not having a house, the members of Pi Kappa Alpha had the freedom to recruit as they saw fit, Schubert said. "A lot of houses have to have a set number to meet quotas, and we can just get quality guys that we want," Corbin said. "We don't have to have a specific chapter size." While he said he supports the expansion efforts, Jeff Hauber, member of PI Kappa Alpha, said that a smaller fraternity had its advantages. With fewer members, the men in the chapter get to know each other better and establish trust, the Lawrence junior said. "I have a couple of friends who are in other fraternities, and the big problem with them is that they don't really know the guys that they chose to live with and associate with." Hauber said. Because they are meeting with the prospective members individually. Schubert said they would invite as many men into the group as they thought would seize the opportunity to start up their own fraternity. He and Sladek will return April 3 to initiate the men they invite into the organization during the coming weeks, he said. "It's a very quick rollover," Schubert said. "There's no pledging process or anything like that, so it's a very unique opportunity for a lot of men out there." — Edited by Nikki Nugent Taste of Asia closes Asian Week By Marc Ingber minger@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Taste of Asia celebration will be a tasty grand finale to this week's Asian Festival. Students can get buffet-style Asian cuisine and view performances by the different Asian groups tomorrow night during the week's culmination. Dinner will be served at 5:30 p.m. at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., and will be followed by performances at 7:30 p.m. at the Kansas Union Ballroom.

Students from each organization will don traditional fashions from their respective countries. The dinner will consist of several different dishes including springrolls, dumplings, sushi, rice and bulgoli, a Korean beef dish. Anna Kowalewski, Overland Park junior and Asian-American Student Union president, said that usually about 250 people show up for the dinner and about 300 for the performances, but she was hoping they could get more this year. She said last year the Taste of Asia fell on Easter weekend and the group got about 300 people, so she was hoping this year they could get about 350 people to come.

Its tactics are aggressive and highly irrational. Anyone can agree that stealing music is wrong, but lawsuits aren't the way to go. The RIAA should get creative. Cary Sherman, RIAA president, said that her company hoped Internet downloads were only a trend, but suspected many people were finding other ways to download their music. The RIAA has sued 1,445 people since September all varying in age, race and gender. The RIAA wants to get the message across that everyone who downloads music is at risk. But, consumers of Internet music haven't stopped downloading and most likely never will. OURVIEW Lawsuits don't solve the problem of music downloads. Innovative marketing tactics for selling music work better. There are other ways to combat music piracy. Companies such as Pepsi have teamed up with Apple's iTunes to create a program where buying music for a cheap price has become more popular. Pepsi began running advertisements during the Super Bowl to kick off this campaign. Pepsi is trying to poke a bit of fun at the RIAA while encouraging people to join in and change the problem. For two months, people will be able to download 100 million free and legal downloads. Dave Burwick, chief marketer of Pepsi said the program was a success. "We're turning people to buying music online versus stealing it online," Burwick said. College campuses nationwide are looking at alternatives. Penn State has teamed up with Napster to allow students free, limited access to a library of songs to download. Any songs downloaded will cost a student 99 cents. The Napster fee of $9.99 a month has been absorbed into a University technology fee. Companies such as iTunes, Roxio and even Wal-Mart have gotten smart and now offer music downloads for a fraction of the normal price. It's about time other companies look at options to sway the current popular trend. No one can ever defeat a problem by suing it to death. Making music available at a low price without the threat of a lawsuit is a solid idea. PERSPECTIVE Know facts before watching 'The Passion' Once again, the local movie theater is poised to lure us from more important ways to spend our time. Here, I offer a su GUEST COMMENTARY Here, I offer a suggestion on how we John Tyburski opinion@kansan.com may contemplate Mel Gibson's widely anticipated and hotly debated movie, The Passion of the Christ. I must admit I have not seen the film. I do not have a specific agenda for or against Mel Gibson or the film itself. I am not taking any particular position on the specific content or how some individuals may respond to it. I do, however, want to suggest a means for assessing the message. exactly the same allurements and consequences. I have a somewhat cynical attitude toward mass media and film and video entertainment in particular. The media and the arts unequivocally prescribe certain lifestyles and philosophies. Both cinema and television have a startling capacity to deceive because, not only do they espouse certain world views, they supply striking images to reinforce them as well. The result is a unique intrusion on the mind and a dangerous seduction of the imagination, all coming from an unavoidable reduction of truth: Everything is boiled down to what the producers deem fit for the screen, inexorably limited by what fits on the screen. no matter how accurate the film is, we must also understand that the medium is only capable of presenting a small part of a vast story. Therefore, I challenge anyone making inductions from this film to first test it against the written word within the panoply of Scripture before forming solid conclusions. Another result of this gluttonous consumption of the visual is a loss of the capacity for abstract reasoning, and what follows is too often, as author Ravi Zacharias calls it, "a problematic induction." Art is meant to point to something beyond itself, but with movies and television we see via the camera, an inherently deceptive instrument. The camera presents only fragments, and with the help of sound and clever editing, it tricks us into thinking we have seen a complete story. "In short," says film producer David Putnam in Andrew Yule's book *Fast Fade*, "cinema is propaganda," and it is "too powerful to be left solely to the tyranny of the box office." It is television programming, often lacking in adequate epistemological foundation, by which most citizens of the industrialized world come to philosophy. The average American is now watching more than 20 hours each week, according to a February article in Scientific American. By age 18 a person has spent thousands more hours in front of a television than in school. Considering the concurrent increases in the rates of obesity and diabetes, it seems we may be entertaining ourselves to death. Although commanding less of our time, cinema confronts us with After all, as Malcolm Muggeridge points out in his book *Christ and the Media*, John did not write, "In the beginning was video." Rather, he wrote, "In the beginning was the Word." The Word is the best measure for assessing this film and making the right induction; induction by any other means runs the risk of becoming problematic. ation of the Christian world view. How authentic and complete is it? To answer, one must go into this film with an adequate external measurement for determining the adequacy of its epistemological base, otherwise one faces the risk of making a problematic induction on a serious topic. One must know "what ought to be" in order to make pronouncements on "what is." The camera, on the other hand, tricks us into reversing our induction by suggesting that what it presents is "what ought to be." The Bible, particularly the New Testament gospel, serves as the only correct, irreducible framework for assessing The Passion in terms of what it ought to be. We must have a trustworthy point of reference for assessing this film. Even so, The Passion disseminates some iter- Tyburski is a Lecopton doctoral candidate in physiology and cell biology.

I memorized the origin story of just about every major player in the universe of comic literary figures — Spiderman, the X-Men, Batman — and I longed for the day when my name would be mentioned among their ranks. COMMENTARY That day never came as there were never any radiative spiders around, I was born without a mutant gene and there was no chip on my shoulder burdensome enough to turn me into a somber dark knight like Bruce Wayne. Cornelius Minor opinion@kansan.com These days, my spandex-clad-hero complex has been eclipsed by the frenzied nature of a life that has grown to encompass classes, work and all the activities in which I engage as I aspire to a different kind of greatness - success. What were once concrete childhood dreams of vanquishing evil have yielded to my young adult hopes to make it from Monday to Friday without incident or missed due dates. What I stand for these days is not a superhuman quality. Most days it's not Though I know that I will never be a Captain America, there are persisting aspirations — dreams to change the world or desires to be bigger than the things that constrict me — that often get lost in this business of life. They are hidden behind everyday tasks. Sometimes I go weeks caught up in the fury of being and forget to think about them. That leads me to wonder: Beyond just getting by or getting over, what are the ideas that consume our lives? If we are what we think and what we struggle for, are we simply a campus of extracurricular activity balancers, last-minute homework-doers and Bottleneck party-goers? Do we, collectively and individually, strive for anything larger? In what ways are those hopes visible? This week, I spent a lot of time considering that quest for success, and how it has transformed me. As I talked with several of my friends, I wasn't surprised to find that many of us have changed in similar ways. At some time in the progression of our lives the daily activity that was once beautiful, exploratory and carefree has become more urgent and mandatory. We have not lost the flavor and pizzazz with which we live life, but we seem to have forgotten the multiple passions with which we dreamed its infinite possibility. That small lapse has meant a world to my lived experience personally. When I think about the types of people who we have the ability to become, I can only imagine how our unwillingness to dream today will have adverse effects on the quality of tomorrow. Even though I stay busy, it is imperative that I remember that my constant activity is not just for a degree that will eventually yield a job. There is a greater Companies have made fortunes off selling us heroes primarily because we have ceased to be so for ourselves. When I was younger, I wanted to be as big as my dreams would allow me to be. I wanted to fly, to fight, to challenge and to inspire. Fundamentally my dream was and still is to contribute. These days, I just want to make it through the week, and as my days get increasingly frantic, I look forward to weekends when I plug in to my PlayStation 2. From there, I play the hero quite frequently. It would be a ridiculous waste of talent if those were the only times that I ever got to do it. Minor is an Atlanta graduate student in American studies.

She comes from a family of Kansas alumni. Editor's note: This is the last in a series of profiles for black history month. As a motivational speaker, Pearl Rovaris-MacDonald's message to students is simple: to focus, learn and enjoy. And as a improvisational comedian, she also wants them to laugh. Rovaris-MacDonald graduated from the University of Kansas in 1991 with a degree in psychology but took a different career path with communications and comedy. She works independently as a motivational or keynote speaker for companies around the United States and performs at ComedyCity in Kansas City, Mo. She said her presentations differed from other speakers because of her delivery and spontaneous nature. "You can't knock me off script because I don't have one," Rovaris-MacDonald said. "I have a very short memory span." Rovaris-MacDonald said she typically came to the University three times each year to speak to students. Her most recent trip was Feb. 9 when she spoke to Black Student Union members. Rovaris-MacDonald said she enjoyed speaking to high school and college students, unlike most speakers. "Colleges are dodged like bullets towards a speaker's head because college students are very real." she said. "She puts humor into her speeches, and she understands the issue of inclusion and the issues that all students face." Robert Page Director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs Rovaris-MacDonald's humor and choice of material makes her a popular choice for organizations, said Robert Page, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs. "She puts humor into her speeches, and she understands the issue of inclusion and the issues that all students face," Page said. Rovaris-MacDonald said she also spoke to students on the necessity of balancing school and fun, using herself as an example. "I'm a Johnson County suburban mom, a comedian and a keynote speaker for major corporations," she said. "You don't have to pick." Elora Gregory, Kansas City junior, attended Rovaris-MacDonald's speech Feb. 9 and said she related to the message. "She reassured me that I can graduate and still kept me entertained," Gregory said. Rovaris-MacDonald said the University helped her get a degree, husband and jobs. Rovaris-MacDonald's husband, Richard, is a University graduate. While here she worked in the Office of Admissions and Scholarships and the Adams Alumni Center. She said she enjoyed what she called the "KU connection" through her travels as a speaker for the last 10 years. "Traveling the country, a Jayhawk will always walk up to me," Royaris-MacDonald said. "The connection goes much further than people give it credit for." Edited by Nikki Nugent Peterson jury will not be sequestered The Associated Press REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — The jury in Scott Peterson's murder trial will not be sequestered, a judge ruled yesterday, brushing aside defense warnings that the jurors will be bombarded by sensational news coverage of the case. Judge Alfred A. Deluccchi said he would admonish the jurors before they go home each night not to discuss the case, "and we'll see what happens." Peterson, 31, is accused of killing his pregnant wife, Laci, and unborn child in December 2002 and could die the death penalty, Jury selection is set to begin next Thursday, with an initial 200 prospective jurors. Defense attorney Mark Geragos called it "a childlike belief" that jurors could shield themselves from a public that is fascinated by the case and has in many instances concluded Peterson is guilty. Jurors "are going to be assaulted by the fringe elements of the media." Geragos warned. "I can't control the whole world." the judge replied. "You can barely control what's in this courtroom," Geragos retorted, prompting a collective gasp in the courtroom.

A the university daily kansan news friday, february 27, 2004 Different motivations drive talent show participants By Dave Nobles dnobles@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Underneath a tall, white, ornamental felt hat, he flicks his wrist across a komuz. Nurjigit Kadryebekov's guitarlike instrument is made from apricot wood and while the three strings are traditionally made from sheep intestines, he had to make do with fishing line. At the 2004 Hawk Nights Talent Show tomorrow night, he'll get to showcase the skill he's been perfecting since he was 9 years old. Kadryebekov is a visiting scholar from Osh, Kyrgyzstan, the country in which the tradition of komuz playing originated. Nick Macian, Dallas freshman, auditioned for the Hawk Night's talent show on Wednesday, Feb. 18. Maciag made the cut and will perform tomorrow. "My goal is not to win," Kadyrebekov said. "Just to show the culture of my country." Kadryebekov is one of the 14 different acts performing at the show. The free show will be from 8 p.m to midnight at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The grand prize winner will walk away with $300,with second place getting $200 and third receiving $100. There also will be free food and drink at the event. The money for the prizes and giveaways came from an alcohol tax grant from the city. Hawk Night events are aimed at deterring people from drinking, Union program adviser Trisha Gressnick said. Abby Tillery/Kansan A panel of four judges will select the five best acts from the 14 that are competing. From those five, the top three will be chosen by audience reaction. Brandon Cobb Kansas City Kan. senior, is organizing the show, which is sponsored by SUA. Cobb also is a columnist for The University Daily Kansan. Cobb said he was confident there would be a large audience. "I'm hoping for a packed house," Cobb said. "I don't know why there shouldn't be." Cobb held auditions for two days to narrow the field of hopefuls down to 14, in true American Idol fashion. He said the audition process was tedious at times. The show will house R&B and rock performances, instrumental acts and one spoken word performer. "I would say most of the people we have performing are worthwhile and talented," Cobb said. "We have a slew of John Mayer-type acts." 欢迎使用微信支付平台。 The contestants have varying goals for their performances. Nick Maciag, Dallas freshman said the prizes were nice, but that he just wanted the opportunity to showcase his work. Maciag said. "I've never really performed an original song by myself before. I'm anxious to see how I do." Maciag will be singing and playing the guitar during one of his original songs called "Moonlight." Kinshasa Mith, Kansas City, Kan., junior, will perform the song Set It Off by Monica. Mith's goals for the show differ from Maciag's and Kadyrebekov's. "I can't say I'm going to win, because I haven't seen the competition," Mith said, "but I think I'm going to place." "I just think it'll be really fun," Cobb said the show was a yearly event sponsored by SUA, and that he joined Hawk Nights to put his two cents into the show. Mith said she was excited about the prizes and about the uniqueness of the show. Cobb said that the winner would boil down to the audience's personal preference and that there was something in the show for everyone. Edited by Henry C.

Phillips said Barton County was easy because she had to read one chapter a week and could participate in discussion any time she wanted to during the week. Six of eight students in Phillips' class are from the University she said. Although it was easier at Barton County, Phillips took the first Western Civilization class at the University and admitted that she learned a lot from it. Bremner said he thought the University should challenge students in class, even if they are difficult. He said the University should never have accepted credit from an online course. "Anyone who skips KU's HWC out of fear is simply missing a wonderful learning opportunity," he said of the course. Students who go to community colleges are missing out on a real education and understanding of the world, Bremer said. He said major universities should challenge students to take classes that may be difficult, because they learn the importance of great works by people like Virginia Woolf, Karl Marx and John Locke. He said students take courses at other community colleges because they reduce the amount of work. Johnson County Community College has made an effort to keep its program as rigorous as the University's. Johnson County patterns its course after the way the University conducts its courses, making students read original texts and participate in discussion, said Doreen Maronde, assistant dean of art and humanities at Johnson County. She said students take Western Civilization and other courses at Johnson County because the classes at the University were full. The college helped accommodate University students by offering the classes at nearby high school such as Desoto High School. Stephanie Wetschensky, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, is taking Western Civilization I through Johnson County at Desoto High School because she knew it would be hard to enroll in the course at the University. She said there was probably no difference between the quality of education she was receiving there and at the University. Bremer said to approach the courses at the University with an open mind. Many of his students have told him that his Western Civilization classes taught them more about the world than they could have imagined. RECYCLING: Program picks up recyclables on residence hall floors CONTINUED FROM 1A But Fish wasn't so certain. KU Recycling keeps track of its monthly recycling load by tonnage and Fish said the numbers hadn't shown a sizable increase. - Edited by Kevin Flaherty "It varies a lot from month to month," Fish said, "and the yearly averages don't really tell us anything." Nevertheless, Fish said she thought the floor-to-floor pickup was worthwhile because her organization was equipped to do it and it was convenient for students. Even if the tons of recycling are not increasing, Allison Fine likes the change. The Leawood senior works the front desk at Lewis Hall and was a resident there during her freshman and sophomore years. She served on her floor's recycling committee before KU Recycling did floor-to-floor pickup. "It didn't seem like a big problem, but having it now is nice for students," she said. "It's one less thing they have to worry about." The fight to expand on-campus recycling has continued under the presidency of Andy Knopp and his KUnited administration. Nick Sterner, Community Affairs Director and KUnited member, is spearheading an effort to get a staffed recycling center on campus. The image is too blurry to read. It shows a silhouette of a person holding a book or similar object, with light streaming through a window behind them. The background is mostly dark, but there are subtle reflections and shadows. — Edited by Danielle Hillx Brian Thomas, Wichita junior, carried sacks of plastic recyclables to add to the pile on Wednesday in the lobby of McCollum Hall. The Delta Force coalition created a floor-by-floor recycling pick-up program for residence halls such as McCollum. Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan NATION Department supoenas Planned Parenthood WASHINGTON - The Justice Department has subpoenaed hundreds of medical records from six Planned Parenthood sites as part of the government's defense in lawsuits challenging the Partial-Birth Abortion Act. According to court documents, Justice Department lawyers say the records — which would be edited to remove names and other personal information — are essential to defend the law against the lawsuits The suits challenge the law that prohibits a procedure referred to by critics as partial-birth abortion but by medical organizations as "intact dilation and extraction." During the procedure, a fetus's legs and torso are pulled from the uterus before its skull is punctured. brought by Planned Parenthood and doctor groups around the country. Planned Parenthood has resisted producing the medical records, which critics of the subpoenas say threatens the privacy of patients and could intimidate doctors and clinics that provide abortions. ---The Associated Press SEX VALUES: Doctors may avoid talking about sex with patients CONTINUED FROM 1A patients were older than 65. He said older women were most concerned about decreased libidos and men were most concerned about erectile dysfunction. Vandgeest-Wallace said a variety of health issues — from spinal cord injuries to manic-depression — involved sex somehow. "Sometimes we're ready to walk out of the room and they ask 'Oh yeah, is Viagra any good?'," said Hatton. "Then we have to come back in and deal with that problem." She said a doctor's avoidance of sex topics can be attributed to sexual values learned from parents, community standards or religious principles. "For some things the person is going to have to find other ways to express sexuality," she said. "Some people may have been taught that sex is naughty or inappropriate," she said. Dennis Dailey, certified sex therapist and professor of social welfare, agreed. He said that doctors weren't the only ones who avoided sexual conversations because of personal discomfort or lack of knowledge. "We live in a fairly uptight, repressive culture, and that hasn't changed in a long, long time," Dailey said. Buck said the majority of students who come in are not shy about discussing sex. However, Dailey said medical practitioners might feel uncomfortable talking about sex to patients on various levels, ranging from people looking for contraceptives to dealing with sadomasochistic behavior. There might also be another reason medical practitioners want to avoid talking about sex. Regardless of the amount of training medical practitioners have gone through, both Buck and Dailey agreed that practitioners need to be put aside their bias when they're on the job. "Very few physicians have training in human sexuality," Dailey said. "They should not as a matter of professional ethics let their personal beliefs interfere with their ability to practice medicine," Dailey said.

Fisher did not come to the University of Kansas because she hadn't seen snow in years, or because her parents lived in the area. Last fall Fisher, 48, took a two-year professional leave from her administrative position at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, Fla., to pursue a doctorate in sociology at the University. So Fisher was in Lawrence last week when policed reopened her sister's murder case. "It's not just a coincidence," she said. "I think God placed me here for a reason and the universe is definitely trying to tell me something." Kansas City area, where her parents live, she is able to be near them and provide support during the investigation. Twenty years ago Fisher's younger sister was murdered in Kansas City, Mo. Police never solved the case. But new advances in DNA testing and better technology have given detectives a new edge when solving crimes. Fisher said police think this technology could help solve her sister's murder. Last week, the case was reopened. Fisher's sister was strangled in her apartment at the age of 23. Fisher said she and her family believe her sister was killed by a jealous ex-boyfriend. The police were never able to prove anything, but the technology might change that. With the case reopened, Fisher is experiencing both the hope for closure and justice and the pain of memories. Now that she is back in the "You never stop grieving for something like that," she said. "But there is also the dread of reliving it and realizing all over again that she's not going to come back." Fisher's mother, Gwendolyn Miller, said she was glad to have her daughter close again. She said even when Fisher moved back to Florida, she would be thankful for the time they spent near each other. ence, and a GPA that has never fallen below 3.6, she was admitted to the University as a provisional student because of low scores on the Graduate Record Exam. 1974 "All you have is the present," Miller said. "Having lost a child, I know how important that time is." After her two-year leave, Fisher will return to Florida without her doctorate. Although Fisher has a masters in community development, years of experi- Her provisional status makes her ineligible for teaching assistant positions during her first year, which is a required part of her degree, Fisher said. She will finish her coursework, but will need to complete her teaching, dissertation and comprehensive exams after returning to Florida. Rosalind Fisher, a sociology graduate student, displayed a picture of her sister who was murdered more than 20 years ago in Kansas City Mo. Recently Fisher was told by the Cold Case Unit that her sister's case was reopened by police. Fisher wants to study the societal and emotional effects on white mothers of biracial children. At her position as assistant vice president of Multicultural Studies and Diversity at West Florida, she encountered biracial students struggling with their identities and trying to connect with both sides of their culture. Fisher is looking for seven mothers to interview and hopes to have the mothers meet at the end of her research to form a support network. "I want to do research that helps others, not just answers a question for me," she said. Fisher said she has struggled with readjusting to returning to school as a full-time student. She is the oldest and only African-American student in all of her classes and often feels very alone, she said. Although Fisher has had to endure what she calls a "traumatic transition" without the hope of receiving her doctorate at the end of her time in Kansas, she said she was still grateful for the opportunities she has received at the University. She said going back to school had given her a new start and taught her a lot both academically and emotionally. Most of all, she was given the chance to be near her family when they needed each other most. When Fisher returns to Florida, she said she would go back to her old job and continue work on the doctorate she won't finish in Kansas. "I guess the purpose I thought I was here for was not the purpose God intended for me," she said. "But I've never failed at anything — at least not permanently." Judge says Washburn statute can stay — Edited by Danielle Hillix The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- A federal judge refused yesterday to order Topeka's Washburn University to remove a statue from its campus that critics feel is offensive to Roman Catholics. The statue, titled "Holier Than Thou," has been on display since September outside the Washburn student union and is scheduled to remain there until summer. Critics contend the ceremonial hat worn by a clergyman depicted in the work, by sculptor Jerry Boyle of Longmont, Colo., resembles a penis. They also have complained about the expression on the clergyman's face and an inscription that accompanies the statue. Andrew Strohl, a Washburn student, and biology professor Thomas O'Connor filed the suit against the university, seeking to have it removed from the campus. But in his ruling, U.S. District Judge Thomas Van Bebber wrote: "In an environment of higher learning on a college campus, the court cannot conclude that a reasonable observer would perceive the university's display of 'Holier Than Thou' as an attack on Catholics." University president Jerry Farley said the university did not see anything offensive in the sculpture when it was selected last year for display, though he added, "We deeply regret that anyone was offended." "We had no intention of making a political statement." Farley said in an interview. "We had no intention of making a religious statement." He defended the university's decision to keep the sculpture in place, saying the issue was one of maintaining academic freedom. "The people who are offended here are well-meaning," he said. "There may be other well-meaning persons who might ask that we remove a book from the library because it is offensive to them." Attorneys for the plaintiffs did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment. Several school districts in Kansas, including the Catholic and public schools in Wichita, have banned Washburn from recruiting at their high schools. Farley said the university will "immediately reach out to them to try to reconcile our differences." Washburn, with an enrollment of about 7,000 students, is the nation's only municipal university. CDC: Asthma rates increase by 4 percent The Associated Press ATLANTA — The number of Americans with asthma rose more than 4 percent in 2002, and minority groups have a more difficult time controlling disease than whites, federal officials said yesterday. About 7.5 percent of Americans reported having asthma in 2002 — the most recent year figures are available, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. That is up from 7.2 percent a year earlier — an increase of more than 4 percent. About 16 million Americans have asthma, the CDC said. Experts said they do not know why asthma rates are on the rise, although it is possible that the disease is diagnosed more often, said Jeanne Moorman, one of the study's authors. Asthma has been on the rise since 1980. Between 1980 and 1996, cases nearly doubled from 3 percent to 5.5 percent of the population. CDC researchers do not compare those numbers with the most recent data because they have changed their survey questions since 1996. CAMPUS Coupons Flying Home for the Weekend?

Josh Childress did just that on the way to scoring 12 points in No.1 Stanford's school-record 24th straight victory, 73-47 over Oregon State on Thursday night. Childress, a junior All-America candidate, also had five assists, two rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot for the Cardinal, who remained one of two unbeaten teams in Division I. Chris Hernandez scored 11 of his 13 points in the first 11 minutes as the Cardinal (24-0, 15-0 Pac-10) built a big lead early. Third-string swinger Fred Washington scored a career-high 11 points and Stanford shot 52.8 percent. No.2 Saint Joseph's is 25-0 David Lucas had 14 points and 11 rebounds for Oregon State (11-14, 5-10), which had won three of four following a six-game losing streak. The Beavers lost their 11th straight at Maples Pavilion and couldn't handle Stanford's stingy man-to-man defense. Some fans in the raucous sell-out crowd of 7,391 waited outside in the rain almost two hours before tipoff trying to get a ticket. Here's how seriously they take hoops here: Longtime season ticket-holder Bill Preston, a business major at the school decades ago, was the first to notice a mistake on the halftime stat sheet and the official scorer quickly made the fix. The Cardinal has already won their fourth conference title in six seasons. SEASONAL: Wooden bats safer than aluminum CONTINUED FROM 1A League, where wooden bats are used, dropped their average nearly .100 points from the college season. With wood bats, they hit homeruns at a rate of one every 75 at bats with wood, compared to one every 25 with metal. Obviously aluminum bats increase offensive numbers. But in baseball, unlike every other major sport, high-powered offenses are frowned upon. That makes the adjustment from college to the minor leagues harder than it already is. Safetv is an entirely different issue. An aluminum bat creates 10 percent more velocity than a wood bat. And that makes a big difference when the pitcher is only 60 feet, six inches away. During the 2000 NCAA Regionals two pitchers suffered broken jaws by batted balls. All-American Shan Komine of Nebraska was one of those pitchers. He didn't have time to react to the ball but he said he still feels safe on the mound. But that's an obvious answer. No pitcher wants opposing batters to think he's scared. ened" by manufacturers meaning the length-to-weight ratio has been changed. It made big bats harder to swing. Advancements have been made since those two incidents. The aluminum bats were "dead" Until the NCAA switches back to wood, it won't be on the same playing field as Major League Baseball. It doesn't change my feeling toward the Kansas baseball team. This is the best Jayhawk team in more than 10 years and I'll be rooting for them all the way to the World Series. But for the next game I might bring ear plugs. Norris is a Overland Park senior in journalism. KANSAS: Women look to end losing streak CONTINUED FROM 1A suspension for violating team rules. She has pulled down 157 total boards this year, averaging 6.8 per game. "Lauren does a great job in rebounding," Mengüq said. "That's her biggest contribution." coach Coni Yori said after the game. That game was Nebraska's first break in a stretch in which they played a string of Top 25 teams. "My team said playing against Kansas was not any easier than playing a Top 25," Nebraska In that game, as in this week's game against Colorado, the Jayhawks were led in scoring by junior guard Larisha Graves, who knocked down 17 points. Graves put in 15 against Colorado. Nebraska, a team that has been ranked this season, is led by senior forward Alexa Johnson, who averages 12 points per game. Her last time against Kansas, freshman guard Kiera Hardy set a career record for most rebounds Kansas, which is in the midst of a seven-game losing streak, is determined to capture a victory tomorrow. in a game. The team's current leader in rebounds is senior guard Keasha Cannon-Johnson, a native of Kansas City. "We will go all out and play as hard as we can." Mengcu said. "It's going to be an emotional game. I really want to win and the team is 100 percent behind me." - Edited by Nikki Nugent NFL USC's Williams plans to enter NFL draft LOS ANGELES — Mike Williams hadn't given much thought to following in the footsteps of Maurice Clarett and turning pro until a lifelong pal called him early last week wondering why. ended Wednesday when Williams, an All-American wide receiver at Southern California, announced he was becoming the first underclassman to opt for the NFL draft since Clarett's court ruling earlier this month. That began a process that "You're out there with all those other guys. I don't understand why you don't consider coming out," Williams recalled his buddy telling him. "That just got the ball rolling. I'm going to take my opportunity to a door that was opened by someone else." Williams, a big receiver at 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds, leaves with two years of eligibility remaining for the defending national champion Trojans. "It was a very,very,very difficult decision." Williams said on a conference call from his home in Tampa, Fla. The Associated Press MBB: Jayhawks look to rebound after loss to Texas TEXAS 3 KANSAS 5 CONTINUED FROM 1A Kansas coach Bill Self said the team would have to play tough to succeed against Oklahoma. "Our team isn't quite as skilled as the队 was last year," coach Bill Said. "You have to rely on some other things. We will show them a lot of tape on Oklahoma to let them know how they play." Despite Monday's loss to Texas in Austin, the Jayhawks don't appear to be hanging their heads. The players and coaches have all said that in terms of effort, it was one of the team's best outings this season. Junior guard Keith Langford drove on Texas guard Brandon Mouton during the Jayhawks' loss Monday in Austin, Texas. Kansas will face Oklahoma at 1 p.m. Sunday at All田场 House. Eric Braem/Kansas Kansas was hampered by a lack of bench production against Texas, with just two points from its substitutes. Quality minutes off the bench will be badly needed for Kansas on Sunday. Like Texas, Oklahoma has multiple big men to rotate in and out of the game, and they are also strong at drawing fouls. Plus, with the exception of five-foot-seven point guard Drew Lavender, the Sooners have big guards that can get to the basket. Oklahoma's size should not be a worry for Kansas, Kansas guard Keith Langford said. The Jayhawks are not focusing on the physical element that the Sooners typically bring year in and year out under head coach Kelvin Sampson. "Physical, it's all perception," junior guard Keith Langford said. "You say somebody's physical because they push more, but I think it's all basketball. When it comes down to it, you've still got to dribble, pass and shoot. It really don't matter." Sunday's game will likely be a low-scoring, chess-match type of a game. The Sooners rank 11th in the Big 12 in scoring, but allow the second fewest points per game, giving up just more than 60 a contest. On paper, that could mean trouble for Kansas, who won just one game this season when scoring below 70 points. The Jayhawks also must block out the distraction of the Big 12 Conference standings. Kansas must try to avoid a drop in energy because the Big 12's regular season championship is out of reach. "I think mathematically, we're probably out of the conference championship," junior forward Wayne Simien said. "We've just got to make sure that we bring that same energy and effort from these last couple of games." — Edited by Kevin Flaherty 100 PRESENTING... 2004 HAWK NIGHTS TALENT SHOW A NIGHT AT THE APOLLO THEATER FREE FOOD AND DRINK WIN PRIZES THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT COME SUPPORT YOUR FRIENDS AND HELP JUDGE THE CONTEST FREE FEB. 28 8PM-12AM WOODRUFF AUDITORIUM 1. 2. 10A the university daily kansan sports friday, february 27, 2004 Free for All Call 864-0500 The only thing worse than the KU basketball team's play is the way the fans are acting.

"I just want to say it's extremely important to me that my family, my friends, my fans and the Ravens organization know that I am innocent and I thank everyone for their continued support," Lewis said after his hearing at the U.S. District Courthouse. The Baltimore football player, an Atlanta native, was released on $500,000 bond on charges that he conspired to possess with the intent to distribute five kilograms of cocaine, during which he used a cell phone in violation of federal law.

Kansas is capable of knocking off whomever it plays, but the Jayhawks have a bit more to play for than just competing, Hall said.

Edited by Nikki Nugent Bonds angered by accusation The Associated Press Barry Bonds teed off on Turk Wendell for accusing him of using steroids. A day after the Colorado reliever said it was "clear just seeing his body" that Bonds was taking steroids, the San Francisco Giants slugger said the remark should've been made directly to him—not a reporter. "If you've got something to say, say it to my face," Bonds said Wednesday in Scottsdale, Ariz. "You got something to say, you come to my face and say it and we'll deal with each other. Don't talk through the media like you're some tough guy." On Tuesday in Tucson, Wendell criticized Bonds to The Denver Post. Bonds, who has always denied using steroids, appeared in December before a grand jury probing a supplements lab accused of illegally distributing steroids to athletes. His trainer, Greg Anderson, was among four men charged this month. All the men have pleaded innocent and no athletes have been charged. "If my personal trainer, me, Turk Wendell, got indicted for that, there's no one in the world who wouldn't think that I wasn't taking steroids," Wendell said. "I mean, what, because he's Barry Bonds, no one's going to say that? I mean, obviously he did it. (His trainer) admitted to giving "If you've got something to say, say it to my face." Barry Bonds San Francisco Giants Another top slugger, Manny Ramirez, reported to Boston's spring training camp in Fort Myers, Fla., with his customary smile and public silence. steroids to baseball players. He just doesn't want to say his name. You don't have to. It's clear just seeing his body." Ramirez is expected to bat fourth again for Boston, nearly was traded to Texas for Alex Rodriguez, but the deal fell through in December. Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra, who would have been sent to the Chicago White Sox, said after reporting Tuesday that he felt hurt by Boston's actions. "He looked great. He's hugging everybody," Kevin Millar said. "Manny was Manny, and in the (batting) cages he looked awesome. Everything was fine." "These guys are professionals," Trot Nixon said. "They know they have a job to do. They're not going to disrespect the organization, their teammates, especially themselves. These guys are going to continue to have MVP-type years, as they normally have." "I'd like to get something done," he said. "I'm going to leave my emotions out of it. I'm going to keep my opinion out of the papers and wait and see what happens ... It sounds like I'm in their plans, and to me that's flattering." In Phoenix, Oakland's Eric Chavez insisted his unsettled contract situation won't be a distraction this spring. The Gold Glove third baseman is signed through this season, and he wants a longterm deal to stay with the Athletics. Valdimir Guerrero, who did switch teams, reported for his first spring training with the Anaheim Angels, who signed him to a $70 million, five-year contract. with the way the team handled his contract after the 2002 season, when the White Sox invoked a diminished-skills clause in his previous agreement. In Tucson, Ariz., Frank Thomas said he still doesn't agree "I think it was embarrassing. I told people I was the first player ever last year to have a guaranteed contract taken away," said Thomas, who wound up re-signing. "I was bitter about it, but you know what? I got over it." Showing no sign of the back injury that limited him to 112 games with Montreal last season, Guerrero was swinging the bat smoothly and mostly making solid contact in Tempe, Ariz. "It feels good. I've been working on my back, so everything's OK," the 28-year-old outfielder said through an interpreter. ATHENS, Greece — As Greek organizers sought to reassure the world the Athens Games will be safe; anti-Olympic activists fire-bombed two government vehicles Thursday to coincide with a major meeting of IOC officials. KANSAN Firebombing on eve of Olympic meeting Two environment ministry trucks were set ablaze by cooking gas canisters soaked in gasoline, causing an estimated $37,000 in damages, fire officials said. A group calling itself "Phevos and Athena" — the names of the Olympic mascots — said in a call to an Athens newspaper the attack was tied to the meetings of the IOC and the Association of National Olympic Committees. The Associated Press The attack was in the western suburb of Ilion, about 6 miles from the central Athens hotel where the Olympic meetings are taking place. "This is a welcome message to the members of the International Olympic Committee," the caller told the Athens newspaper. In a speech to delegates from 202 national Olympic committees, Athens organizing chief Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki said protecting the games in Greece's "paramount concern." "The Greek state and our allies are working together to create a seamless security web to ensure "The Greek state and our allies are working together to create a seamless security web to ensure the games are safe as well as historic." Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki Athens organizing chief the games are safe as well as historic." she said. The Aug. 13-29 Olympics are the first Summer Games since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Greece has budgeted more that $800 million for security, more than three times what was spent to make the 2000 Sydney Games safe. International terrorism is not the only worry. Self-proclaimed local anarchist groups have carried out hundreds of arson attacks in recent years, a trend that is causing concern as the games approach. Although Athens has made up much of the time it lost to delays, a number of construction problems remain. "Less than six months before the games, we can only repeat that there is still a lot to do," said Denis Oswald, the IOC coordinator for Athens. everyday The University Daily Kansan.

Now, it is presented with a similar opportunity. But Sunday's opponent will likely be a bit tougher than the Baylor team that Kansas faced last week in its return to Allen Fieldhouse. The Oklahoma Sooners (16-8 overall. PETER SCHNEIDER Self 6-7 conference) are coming off an overtime loss Wednesday night to Colorado, and are experiencing similar problems to the Jayhawks (17-7, 9-4) this season. Much like Kansas' loss of Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich from last year's team. Oklahoma lost a pair of senior leaders in guards Hollis Price and Quannas White. Something will have to give at 1p.m. on Sunday, when the two team's square off at the fieldhouse.

By Jonathan Kealing jkealing@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Team says goodbye to motivator On Senior Day, teams usually say goodbye to top scorers and statistical captains. For the Kansas women's basketball team, it will be goodbye to a motivator. "I never thought this day would come," lone senior Leila Menguc said. "I'm sad." Mengüc, who started 28 of 29 games last year, has found herself playing a bench role this year, having started just one game. After one game earlier this season, freshman forward Lauren Ervin pointed to Mengtiç as a key factor behind the team's late run. Don't tell her teammates that she's not as important, though. This year they depend on her to motivate and keep them focused. "Leila was on the bench, telling us to keep going, keep trying." Ervin said. Senior Day takes place against Nebraska, at 2 p.m. Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. The last time the two teams met, Nebraska won 59-48. In that game, the Jayhawks held several leads — the largest being nine points in the middle of the second half. The team could not weather several scoring droughts ranging from three to five minutes. Ultimately, what shut the team down was an inability to rebound consistently, and Nebraska's decision to switch to a zone defense. The Jayhawks were out rebounded 52-37 and committed five more turnovers than the Cornhuskers. When the Jayhawks played in Lincoln, Neb., they were without the services of the team's leading rebounder, Ervin, who was serving a one game SEE KANSAS ON PAGE 9A Toeing the line Brent Carter/Kansan Dean Potter, Moab, Utah, senior, battled to keep his balance on a slack line yesterday in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall.

Jayhawks sweep Grizzlies in a rout By Shane Kucera skucera@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter A record-setting day for sophomore Ritchie Price helped Kansas to its fifth straight victory. In the 17-2 beating of Oakland University, Price went six-for-six at the plate to set a Kansas record for most hits in a game. "I wasn't thinking about the record," said Ritchie Price. "I just went up there my last at bat relaxed." The Kansas offense combined for 22 hits. Junior Travis Metcalf also had an outstanding day at the plate going 3-for-3 with two runs, five RBI, including a grand slam home run. Price finished the day with two runs and three RBI. Senior Matt Tribble extended his hit streak to 11 games. He blasted his second home run of the season over the right field fence in the bottom of the second inning to tie the game up at one: Kansas took the lead for good in the second inning when Metcalf, Scholl and Dudley each hit doubles to score three runs. The fifth run of the inning was scored with a successful suicide squeeze laid down by junior J.C. Sibley. The win extended the 'Hawks' streak to five games and gave the team a 4-0 sweep against the Grizzlies. Kansas' overall record improved to 12-7-1. Kansas went on to score 12 more runs during the next four innings to end the score at 17-2. Kansas coach Ritch Price said a winning streak was crucial for the team's confidence. Though the team struggled with a six-game slump during the last two weeks, it managed to improve on offense and defense. Oakland fell to 0-4 after the loss. "We needed to play well and pitch well and our guys did that," coach Price said. Junior left-handed pitcher Jacob jean went five innings to receive the win and improved to 1-1 on the season. Four other Kansas pitchers were used in the game and allowed no runs on two hits. Sophomore Matt Baty did not play in the game because of a wild pitch that hit him in the head Wednesday. He is expected to return for the Jayhawks' upcoming series against Wisconsin-Milwaukee Mar 5.

Baseball is here and it's great. With Major League teams reporting to camp this week, it means the baseball season is only one month away. But sitting there watching my favorite sport, it was painfully obvious something was wrong. The weather couldn't have been better for the home-opener at Hoglund Ballpark last Sunday when the Jayhawks defeated the Creighton Bluejays. As Creighton third baseman Gabe Lapito smacked the first pitch at Hogland Ballpark this season into left field for a basehit, that horrifying sound that had been absent for nearly a year was back: PIIIIING!! It's not like it was the first time I had heard that metal bat sound but I try to put it out of my mind during the off-season. It's like the weather in Kansas. Each winter people say, "I can't believe how cold it is. This sucks." When, in all actuality, yes they can because they lived here last year, and the year before, and so on. Every time I hear the sound of a metal complain about it as if it's the first time I heard it. It doesn't matter that metal bats were all I ever played with growing up. There's no other sound in sports like the crack of a wood bat. It's understandable why college athletes want to use metal bats. They're like legal steroids. Instead of injecting something into their bodies, players can use a metal bat to hit the ball farther and it's not their fault. The NCAA allowed metal bats 30 years ago because they didn't break like their wooden counterparts. But that doesn't make it right. In addition to the terrible sound they make, metal bats just aren't good for the game. They aren't used in the minor leagues and that can be a big adjustment for players.

So, she did what any other aspiring actress would do: She packed up and went to Los Angeles. Just a year removed from Lawrence, Kibbe said what she learned during her time as a Kansas film student has kept her grounded in the fast-paced Hollywood world. Out there, Kibbe said, you lose yourself in the minutiae. "You forget that it's supposed to be fun," she said. Kansas' film school provided a good base, Kibbe said, even though it is lesser in reputation to schools like NYU and USC. "I don't want to students to make standard, Hollywood derivative films," assistant professor Matt Jacobson said. "I want them to make films that matter." That standard has brought the film school to a whole new level. Student films are being shot almost every weekend this semester and numerous other projects are constantly in the works. Film students say their professors are the reason for the program's success, but Jacobson is hesitant to take the credit. "You can't be an instructor without good students," he said. Jacobson said that one of the biggest reasons for the increasing success of the school was the quality of equipment available to students and an increased interest in film production in general. Students agree that the resources they have contribute to the quality of their education, but insist that the biggest factor still lies in the faculty. Whatever the reason, it is impossible to deny the recent accomplishments the school has encountered. Most notable is the recent trip several students took with Jacobson and fellow professor Kevin Willmott to the Sundance Film Festival to help with the showing of the professors' film Wilmott's CSA. Sean Sullivan, Wichita junior, front, and Miles Kim, Olathe junior, ran the controls for a taping of the Wonderful World of Lord Wads. The taping was part of Intermediate Film Production. The show airs at 11 p.m. this Wednesday on Sunflower Broadband channel 6 and will alternate between 11 p.m. and midnight each Wednesday. Other projects include the organization of HomeTown Film, the result of several students desire take students work outside of Lawrence. The group recently finished a traveling film festival that began in Lawrence, then traveled to Omaha, Neb., and ended in Sioux Falls, S.D. The festival showcased several student films. Another endeavor was initiated last year by Chris Martin, who graduated in December. Abby Tillery/Kansan Martin had the idea to produce a show focusing on playing locally produced short films. The result is "Out of Focus," which appears roughly once a month on KUJH. Chris Ordal, Sioux Falls, S.D. senior, is part of the HomeTown Film group. He said his biggest problem as a film student is doing too many things at once. To him, it's not work, and his relationships in the department make it more like an extended family than a school, he said. — Edited by Henry C. Jackson Students balance marriage, school By Amanda O'Toole Kansan correspondent correspondent@kansan.com Misty Huber remembers the day she met her husband, Caleb. She was in fourth grade and she asked him to go to a Sadie Hawkins dance in Concordia. The two went to the dance and began a relationship that developed into a marriage. But their story is not a fairy tale. The Hubers are two undergraduate students at the University of Kansas who balance marriage and school. In 2002, more than 1,100 married students enrolled at the University. These students face the unique challenges that come with being a married college student. "We don't see each other a whole lot." Misty said. Caleb, a 21-year-old pre-med student, is enrolled in 12 hours and works a part-time job. Misty, a 21-year-old journalism major, is enrolled in 17. After 18 months of marriage, Caleb said it was not what he had expected. "It's definitely not for everybody and it's definitely not easy," he said. "You have to make time for school, in our case our daughter, and keep our relationship going. There's only so many hours a day you can work with." Despite many commitments, both agree that family comes first. Misty said the books were closed when their 2-year-old daughter, Keely, came home from daycare at 5 p.m. and didn't open again until she went to bed. Misty said she and Caleb couldn't afford to procrastinate, so they began homework as soon as it was assigned. Their demanding life doesn't leave much time for a social life either. Caleb said that was just one sacrifice that came with married life. He and Misty missed out on things regular students do. "But then I think about how good I have it," he said. "I have a woman that's going to love me for who I am and puts up with my crap no matter what. And my daughter makes it fun to come home every night." He said his marriage has helped him stay focused. "It's made my life a lot better," Caleb said. "I'd be tempted to cut loose a lot more. I wouldn't be as focused on school as much as I have been." Rob and Kendra Schobert said their marriage has made them better students as well. "We kick each other out of bed every morning and make the other go to class." Rob said. Rob and Kendra, both Hugoton juniors, will graduate in 2005. Kendra, 19, is enrolled in 20 hours this semester and is majoring in education. Rob, 21, is studying nursing. Kendra said it was hard to save money because both were in school. But jobs, grants and an affordable house have helped them overcome the challenge. The Schoberts have been married nine months and Rob said there hadn't been any surprises yet. "We knew each other well enough when we got married," he said. "I already knew all of her quirks." She said some people did not understand her marriage. "People ask me if we live together, or if we live in a dorm." Kendra said. "We knew we wanted to be together and we didn't see any reason to wait. We felt like we needed to do it when we did it." Rob said unseen trust, love, compromise and communication make his marriage work. The Hubers and Schoberts both said finding time to spend together was a constant challenge. The Hubers meet for lunch at least once a week. Misty said they usually went where they had coupons. The Schoberts like to watch movies and they make sure they devote time to each other every day. Both couples know the odds are against their young marriages, but neither couple is bothered by the statistics. Kendra said her parents, who married when they were 18- and 19-years-old, were evidence that couples married at a young age could stay happy together. "I know he's my soul mate," Kendra said. "I just know he's the person I'm supposed to spend the rest of my life with." — Edited by Danielle Hillix With the band TUSCAN ORGANIC CENTER Eric Braem/Kansan A 45-piece pep band plays for all of the men's home basketball games.

After signing up in front of the Crafton-Preyer theatre, they move toward their potential role, with hope that their efforts lead them to perform on that auditorium's main stage. They descend upon the Green Room to sit amongst the smell of makeup, wood shavings from productions past, and the images of actors established years before. They wait to hear their names. If all goes well, they may be called back. The only thing that matters is the skills you bring to the audition. This is the concept that any University of Kansas student finds when vying for a spot in any University Theatre production. Students can audition regardless of their major. Matthew Greer, journalism senior, joined the journalism program in 2000, but never had any doubt what he wanted to do. He had strong interests in both journalism and theatre. He felt he could get cast for parts but wanted to have a journalism degree to fall back on. "I want to be an actor, and there's no doubt in my mind about that." he said. Greer said he felt a strong calling toward the stage. During his freshman year, he found out how competitive the program was. He tried out for plays but didn't receive a role. "I did some student productions to keep busy and improve," he said. "But I wasn't able to get in any UT productions." He didn't give up then. While fulfilling his journalism degree, he continued to make his name under the lights. "The important thing is that if you're going to do it, then do it," Greer said. "You can't really just dabble in it." Durecote He managed to get his name noticed by professors in the department. John Staniunas, artistic director for the University Theatre, said students in majors other than theater, enjoyed finding a creative outlet in his department. "Theatre becomes this sort of guilty pleasure for them," he said. "They jump right in to the acting community here, because they've found something outside their field that they enjoy." Acting led Erika Crane, Tokyo, Japan, senior, all the way from Asia to Kansas. Crane chose the University because her father is a native of Kansas. Crane said ambition and curiosity were her driving forces. Caitlin McDonald, Bismarck, N.D., junior, put makeup on Saturday night in Murphy Hall. McDonald played the role of Alligator in the play Really Rosie. "I try to spread out and do things that I've never done," Crane said. "I like a wide variety of challenges and projects because it keeps me interested and involved." The challenges of participating in the University Theatre are varying and indistinct. Greer said when he had to balance acting responsibilities with a separate major, the effects were frustrating. "At the end of the day, I know deep within myself that I want to be an actor," Greed said. Edited by Guillaume Doane Working at the Kansan: more than just a newspaper By Kelsie Smith Kansan correspondent correspondent@kansan.com Traditions abound at the University of Kansas. To the collegiate world, The University means the Rock-Chalk chant, basketball and, well, the student newspaper? The University Daily Kansas might not be making any Final Four appearances, it is just as much a part of Kansas tradition as Allen Fieldhouse. When editor in chief Michelle Rombeck got married during fall break, she didn't take any time off from the paper. "I just came back," she said. "I'm that pathetic." Pathetic may not be the best word to describe it, but for Rombeck the Kansan is a way of life. In addition to the 14 credits the Topeka junior is taking this semester, she spends an average of 40 hours a week working at the paper. This is Rombeck's second semester as editor-in-chief and, although the job is demanding, she said she doesn't get burned out. "It's probably the coolest thing I've ever done," she said. Editors at the Kansan are paid, but the practical value of their work is what appeals to most of them. Malcolm Gibson, general manager and news advisor for the Kansan, said that many students' GPAs suffered as a result of the hours spent at the paper. But, Gibson said, they realize the value of the experience outweighs the sacrifice to the grades. Kevin Faddis, one of three design chiefs, has been working at the Kansan since last spring. The Kansas City, Kan., sophomore gets paid $40 a night and works an average of two nights a week. He said no one works at the Kansan for the money. Faddis said during the week he spends more time in the newsroom than he does at home. "It's scary to think about how much some people are here," he said, and looking toward Rombeck's office added, "Michelle especially. She is always here." Rombeck is aware of the amount of time she spends at the office. She said she is there not just to work, but because it's a fun place to be. Although students are responsible for the production of the paper, the Kansan has an advisor. Gibson is responsible for the Kansan's fiscal health and offers advice to editors and reporters. He never sees the paper before it is printed. "They come to me when they think things are going to be particularly sensitive and I make a case and sometimes they agree with me and sometimes not," he said. staff has license to print whatever it wants. Gibson said if necessary, a staff member can be brought before a board of three faculty and three students, including the editor, the business manager and a student senator. There have been instances where staff members have been fired, but Gibson said those cases are few and far between. That doesn't mean the Kansan The Kansan has many sides of production. Students hold positions as reporters, copy editors, columnists and advertising representatives, to name a few. Anyone can get involved at the paper. Full-time news reporters are a part of Journalism 695, a three-credit class that requires its students to write for the paper. Neeley Spellmeier, Sabetha senior, is taking 695 this semester. She said the class was a good way to get students involved in journalism. "I'm surprised that it's not more stressful than it is," she said. "I enjoy the pace of the class." Spellmeier, who is assigned to the police beat, said she spends about 20 hours a week working on at the Kansan. She said she appreciated the effort the paper made to get all types of KU students involved. "We want to serve the University," she said. "We don't want to just serve the journalism school."

Dancers auditioned for the University Dance Company in late January. Dreyer, Kuribayashi and Vaglio made the company. Members of the University Dance Company live for dance. From the tough tryouts to the time demands, they basically have to. The Company's members are selected every semester and their numbers usually range from 20 to 30 dancers. we usually have 40 to 50 people try out and we have had as many as 80," said Beau Hancock, president of the Company. The group prepares five to six pieces for its performance at the end of the semester. The pieces are choreographed by faculty in the dance department and guest choreographers. The number of pieces a dancer participates in determines the amount of time dedicated during the semester. Dance experience is not required to try out. All types of dance are practiced, but most pieces relate to ballet, modern and jazz styles. Members are strongly advised to take technical dance classes outside of the company to build strength in their bodies and learn proper form. Meggi Sweeney, Carrollton Mo., freshman, came into the Company with eight years of dance experience. Being from a small town Sweeney felt limited by what she could learn in Carrollton. She went to dance summer camps in high school to extend her knowledge and skill beyond what she could get at home. Sweeney tries to balance her time between dance, school and her social life. She is also involved in the KU honors program and the Pi Beta Phi sorority. The most important event for the University Dance Company is a performance at the Lied Center at the end of each semester. "It's hard getting to know your sorority sisters and be a member of the dance company because of the commitment involved in A double major in Dance and American Studies, Hancock said it is not uncommon to spend all day and most of the evening in the studio. both." she said. Members of the company said there was a lack of interest in dance performance at the University of Kansas because people were unsure of the show's content. Hancock said students had negative stereotypes of ballet, jazz and modern dancing. This semester's performance will be Thursday, April 22 at 7:30 p.m. and Friday, April 23 at 7:30 p.m. - Edited by Kevin Flaherty Early bird special at the Rec Center By Amanda O'Toole Kansan correspondent correspondent kansan.com Small drops of perspiration formed on her upper lip. She didn't wipe them away; she just kept moving at a steady pace on the elliptical trainer, her blond ponytail swayed as she moved. It was just past 7:30 a.m. and Nancy Stiles' hour on the trainer was almost up. The Prairie Village freshman does this routine every morning at the Student Fitness Recreation Center. She said she worked out early in the morning because she wanted to feel good about her body. Plus it gives her extra energy to take on her day. Stiles said she is more alert during the day and more awake in classes. "It's just a part of my day," she said. "I don't have to even think about it anymore. I just do it." According to Lezlie Tate, the center's facilities supervisor. Stiles is one of about 300 people who work out at the Rec Center every day before 8 a.m. Tate said people who work out in the mornings are serious about staying in shape because it takes dedication to work out early in the morning. "It's the best time to work out," he said. "It keeps people on schedule with their priorities and gives them a better attitude about their day." Chris Ryan, Overland Park sophomore, said the center had better equipment than Robinson did. Ryan goes to the center three to four mornings throughout the week to work on different machines and lift free-weights. He alternates from working his arms to working his lower body. On arm days, he works on four different machines and does three sets of 10 reps with a 60-lb., dumbbell. He notes his progress in a notebook that he carries with him as he goes machine to machine. He's used to lifting. He had to lift all through high school for football and rugby training. He continues now for personal satisfaction and stress relief. He said it was rewarding for him to be able to physically see his progress. Rob Sands, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said he was required to go to the Rec. Center at 6 a.m. twice a week for Crew training, which consists of rowing for 45 minutes to an hour as well as running. The other three days a week Sands spends in the Martial Arts room and uses the boxing equipment. He does that for about an hour in the morning. He goes back around 4 p.m. to meet his lifting partner. He brings a gallon-jug full of water with him each trip he makes and it's always empty when he leaves. Sands spends 14 to 15 hours a week at the Rec. Center. Even though Sands is dedicated to his workout, he said he still struggles to make himself go from time to time. ing well or something like that and I just don't feel like going," he said. He remedies this by having a workout partner. "There'll be days I'm not feel- "You're not only ruining your workout if you don't go, but your workout partners as well," he said. "I have to go so I don't ruin his workout too." Sands said he preferred to beat the rush and work out in the morning. "I don't like to wait for the equipment," he said. "I'm usually pretty pumped about working out. It kind of kills it if you have to wait." Sands said there was a different atmosphere at the Rec. Center in the mornings at the in the afternoons. People are more serious in the mornings and more social in the afternoons. "For most people going to the gym is more social than for fitness," he said. - Edited by Henry C.

As a waitress at Perkin's Restaurant, 1711 W. 23rd St., Cady has seen her fair share of drunks. "I treat them like a bunch of two-year olds," Cady said. She gives her intoxicated customers half glasses of water and avoids giving them ketchup, mustard or syrup. Like a baby sitter, she always makes sure to give them lots of napkins. If the customers start acting rowdy, she will take their food away. She gives them specific suggestions on food to order, because soused customers are indecisive, she said. "It's best to eat at Perkin's and burn some of that off first," Cady said. Police come into the restaurant looking for trouble, she said. Perkin's also hires security guards through Milspec to work from 1:30 a.m to 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Drunks do not act worse in college towns compared to other towns, Cady said. When she worked at a Perkin's Restaurant in Jedwood, S.D., she saw similar behavior. "I will tell them to order toast and say, 'consider yourself toasted,'" Cady said. Cady said she saw her job as a community service. If the drunks were not in Perkin's Restaurant, they would be out driving. Photo Illustration by Kit Leffler/Kanan Drunk customers at the International House of Pancakes, 3102 Iowa St., have urinated on the bathroom floors, left toilet paper on the floor and fought, said Forrest Savage, waiter at the restaurant. One customer even got injured. Savage was surprised customers weren't turned off by some of the intoxicated behavior of others. Savage and his manager called for an ambulance, but the man's girlfriend drove off with him before the ambulance arrived, he said. Businesses around Lawrence have to deal with drunk customers. The disturbances caused by these customers range from mild annoyances to bar fights. "Everyone in town is a drunk these days." Savage said. "I don't know why some people want to eat here." IHOP has a security guard through Delta Force to work from midnight until 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, but he isn't sure how effective the guard is. About 75 percent of IHOPs drunk customers are college students, he said. Savage described the other 25 percent as "rednecks who go to Coyotes." how close she's almost eighty years old." Savage said. "I don't think she's all that intimidating." Inebriated customers don't leave the recommended 15 percent tip. Most groups leave about two dollars $2 in tips, Savage said. And intoxicated patrons can cause more than mere disturbances, sometimes they can be dangerous. [Image: A person is falling down, with a bottle and碎片 scattered around them.] While most customers at Aimee's Coffeehouse, 1025 Massachusetts St., usually act in a respectful manner, one particular customer has caused problems. Last semester, a man came into Aimee's Coffeehouse, visibly drunk and slept on one of the couches. When Natalie Patrick, barista, was ready to close at 11 pm., the man was still sleeping there. She woke him up to and said he needed to go. The coffeeshop is located between Louise's Bar Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St. and Harbour Lights, 1031 Massachusetts St., and across from the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. But Patrick said she did not blame the number of bars for bringing the occasional drunk customer into her coffeeshop. She said this would happen sometimes in a college town. Matt Micksch works at Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwich Shop, 922 Massachusetts Street. Jimmy John's stays open until 3 a.m., and on Friday and Saturday nights, Micksch deals with drunk people ordering sandwiches. "It's annoying to get sand-wiches to them because never remember what they ordered," Micksch said. In December, Amy Smith, carhop at Sonic Drive In Restaurant, 3201 W. Sixth St., called the police on some befuddled customers. The customers tried to hand her the wrong change and acted really slow and lethargic, said the Overland Park junior. "The passenger said, 'Don't mind her, she's really drunk.' Smith said. "I'm like, Okay, you're driving the car" you're driving the car. Smith wrote down the license plate number before the car drove off. Because Sonic closes at 11 p.m., most customers are not yet tanked for the night. They sometimes order drinks and ask for extra cups. Smith thinks the customers use the extra cups for mixing drinks. Katherine McCleery, Overland Park sophomore, enjoys going to Steak n Shake, 3111 Nieder Rd., after a night out on the town. She said the wait staff there did not disriminate against intoxicated customers. "They're really happy-go-lucky," McCleery said. McCleery still keeps in touch with a friend she made at Steak n Shake after a night of partying. —Edited by Guillaume Doane Every day an adventure for paleontology graduate student Megan Terry 41 Kenny Bader, Shewnee graduate student, worked with a thigh bone of what could be a new dinosaur species at the Natural History Museum at the University. By Gretchen Gier Kansan correspondent correspondent@kansan.com Behind the closed doors and "employees only" signs of Dyche Hall, Kenny Bader prepares fossils for the paleontology department at the University of Kansas Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center. The Shawnee graduate student also trains weekend volunteers to clean fossils. Bader volunteered for the museum for four years before the department had enough money to hire him. While many students might have become discouraged by lack of pay, Bader would have done anything to get his foot in the door. Better jobs open up by volunteering,he said. teering. he said. Bader's enthusiasm for his work was clear. The favorite part of his job was getting others interested in paleontology. He exuded a happiness that food service and dishwashing would As Bader cleaned bones from a species of long-necked dinosaur, he commented that he wouldn't deal with food. Surrounded by piles of dirt-covered bones, it was obvious why Bader shunned burger-flipping. To him, the work he does is engaging and interesting. "Every day is an adventure, especially in the field," he said. "One minute I could be working on a dinosaur, the next catching a Bader is in the process of reconstructing a bone cast for the National Science Museum in Japan. Kenny's work in the Natural History Museum has provided a solid basis for his future. He sees himself continuing research in the field for his Ph.D., and, of course, dusting dinosaur bones in the basement of a museum somewhere.

Elaborate musicals, plays and operas bring a variety of performers to Lawrence. In the midst of these productions, one group of students has gone unrecognized. It is the technical crew, a group of students collaborating and working long hours behind the scenes. The center hires 70 to 90 students a year to assist the backstage crew. Andy Hause, the center's associate technology director, said he hired most of the student employees from the University of Kansas career fair held in September. Hause said the center depended on the students' support backstage. "We are told our students are better than any crew," he said. "Because they are so enthusiastic and energetic." He said union workers are too expensive to hire long-term. Because it hires students, the center has to get approval from every touring show. The University of Kansas' School of Fine Arts supports The Lied Center activities and student employees. These students work varying schedules depending on the shows scheduled at The Lied Center. "We work bizarre hours depending on the number of students working backstage and our show schedule."Hause said. Deb Lake, Ankeny, Iowa senior, said the management was good, because it was easy to work for them. "It is a really awesome on-campus job," Lake said. "First, you are a student to them and then you work for them." The student employees are paid $6.50 to $7 to work backstage at the Lied Center. Students' jobs could range from wardrobe to adding auditorium seating to moving curtains. He said one of the obstacles the students tend to face is working with a language barrier. A company came through The Lied Center and the entire cast and crew was Russian. The group had one interpreter. "The kids could only talk by gestures," Hause said. "It was tough, but they got through it." Edited by Henry C. Jackson HOROSCOPES Today's Birthday (Feb.27). You'll be able to concentrate this year and go beyond the norm.

She waved at everyone. "I didn't even realize I was doing it," the Concordia senior said. "It's just something I had always done." Concordia, is a town of about 6,000 people. Swenson said there was one high school and not "I loved growing up in a small town," she said. "It was a really neat experience." much to do. But for Swenson, it was perfect. Senior Annie Monfort grew up in Iola, another Kansas town of about 6.000 people. For Monfort, Lawrence was an escape. Unlike Swenson, she didn't enjoy her small-town life. Whether or not they enjoyed it, students from small towns do agree on one thing about growing up where everyone knew their name—they appreciate it. "I almost felt like I was raised by a town and a group of people rather than just my family," Swenson said. "I loved that." To these students, growing up in small towns gave them a unique perspective. Small town kids are quick to defend their roots, but even they admit living in a town with onestoplight is a recipe for boredom. The weekend activity of choice was cruising. No matter which small town, everyone participated. In Concordia Swenson called it "cruising the L" because that was "Everyone would always stop at this one gas station, Ray's Conoco, to get a pop," she said. "The 32 ounce swigger. Thirty-two ounces of soda for 33 cents. It was the cool place to be." the shape of the route. In Iola, Monfort said it was known as "square jamming" because the route was to go around the town square. Senior Ty Pfannenstiel grew up in Ness City, population 1,500. In his senior class, there were 35 students. For Pfannenstiel, the adjustment from small town to Lawrence wasn't difficult thing. He spent his first two years after high school at Garden City Community College, so he was used to a more urban atmosphere once he settled into the University. But the switch isn't as easy for some. Monfort said she was lonely during her freshman year. For her and others who share her background, the simple things can be the most profound. "I can go to Taco Bell at 2 a.m.," she said. "That was just amazing to me." Local grads stay at home - Edited by Kevin Flaherty By Meredith Desmond Kansan correspondent correspondent@kansan.com Graduates from Lawrence high schools have a choice most aspiring college freshman don't. They can go away for college, or they can stay at home for their first college experience. Rachel Fredrickson, Lawrence High School graduate and junior at the University, said most of her classmates had one idea; to escape Lawrence. "Essentially, everyone wants to initially get out," she said. "Spending 20 years in the same town can get a little old." Fredrickson tried to leave. She was accepted to five nationally recognized art schools across the country, but chose the University because she could afford it. She said that attending the University made her appreciate her hometown more than she used to. "You see it from a different view," she said. "Even something as simple as living in the dorms and having a different window to look out of and seeing the same city." Fredrickson's classmate, Julie Ellen, did get out of Lawrence. She is now a student at Oklahoma State University. Although she attends a rival Big 12 Conference school, it was never her goal to leave Lawrence, a city she said she loved growing up in. "I personally did not want to get out, but I was given an opportunity to be somewhere else and I took it because I like an adventure," she said. "I am still a Jayhawk at heart, and always will be." Juliann Howat said she was leaving Lawrence, but her reasons for not attending the University were unique. Ellena said many of her high school classmates talked about escaping Lawrence, but never did "My dad won't let me," the Lawrence Free State High School senior said. "He wants me to see the country, I'm trying to convince him because I really want to go to KU." Elise Bolton, Lawrence Free State senior, will attend the University next year. She said that faculty and staff at Lawrence schools encouraged students to go to Kansas State University or Pittsburgh State University because they are in-state schools but they're not in Lawrence. She said she didn't understand why getting away from Lawrence was the general mentality among locals. "There are phenomenal programs at KU," she said. "People here don't give it enough credit." Students may go to college to get away from their hometown, but there's something about Lawrence that keeps people coming back, Fredrickson said. She said that although people from her high school went out of state for college, many of them are now at the University. She said she loved Lawrence but knew one day it would be time to go. "I know it's going to be hard, but I owe it to myself to explore the world outside of eastern Kansas," Fredrickson said. LUNA FARRELL - Edited by Abby Mills Rachel Fredrickson, junior, grew up in Lawrence. The industrial design major said she wanted to open her own consulting firm in a large city. "I've been here for 20 years," she said. "I love it to myself to explore the world outside of Lawrence." SPENCER MUSEUM OF ART ARTIST LECTURE: News. Now.
