With a wave and a kiss to the crowd, an era of women's basketball officially concluded Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.
After 31 years at the University of Kansas, women's basketball coach Marian Washington announced her retirement, effective immediately.
"I am retiring from coaching to address health issues that are not life-threatening, but that need my immediate attention," Washington said in a released statement. "I cannot address these issues and at the same time devote the time it takes to lead a major college basketball program."
Washington took a leave of absence four weeks ago for undisclosed medical reasons. Assistant coach Lynette Woodard has guided the team in her absence.
The Kansas Athletics Department honored a tearful Washington before the team's final home game Saturday against Nebraska. The veteran coach, who will

The prototype for the new Marching Jayhawks band uniform is out, and some donors are angry.
The uniforms have a crimson, blue and white reversible overlay, crimson cape and black pants, gloves, shoes and hat. This is too much black, said Susan and Gary Fincham, Lawrence residents and donors.
"The black just doesn't seem right. I would like to have our true colors," Susan Fincham said. "And Gary says they're hideous."
The campaign has exceeded its goal of raising $150,000 for 300 band uniforms. Excess money will go into an endowment fund to provide band members with stipends to defray costs such as dry cleaning.
The couple each donated between $1,000 to $2,999 to the Feather the Flock campaign, a joint effort of the Lawrence Journal-World, the School of Fine Arts, Kansas University Endowment Association, Athletics Department and the Topeka Jayhawk Club.
Jim Hudson, director of the marching band, said he and a committee of members from the school had worked on designs since January. He said the chosen design was a combination of past designs done in a more contemporary style.
"Every part of the uniform can be traced back to what the Marching Jayhawks have worn in the past 100 years." Hudson said.
For example, Hudson said the black hat was a direct reflection of the hat that Russell Wiley, former band director, placed on President Dwight D. Eisenhower in the '50s. Hudson said that a few minor revisions and touch-ups had to be made, but he doubted the colors would change.
"When you see the uniform in person, the black sets off the crimson and blue really well." Hudson said. "A lot of people worked really hard to create something that was going to honor the traditions of the band and give it a little more modern look."
Harry Johnson, St. John resident, said that when he was in the band in 1939, the uniforms were crimson, blue and white. This was before the almost completely black uniforms of the '50s.
Hudson and band members said the black would make the band appear taller, slimmer and more uniform. The trend for marching bands has changed to include more black on the uniforms, Hudson said. This de-emphasizes everything but the middle of the body.
Jill Kennedy, Ellsworth senior and band member, said she was initially uncertain about the black pants, grew like the unifo "Cha"

Speaker to promote hate-crime awareness

Judy Shepard will speak about an issue close to her heart tonight at the Lied Center to kick off Into the Streets Week.
Sean Pauzauskie, Topeka senior and Forums Coordinator for SUA, said that Shepard was the perfect example of someone who actively supported her cause, which stemmed from a personal tragedy.
Judy Shepard
Shepard's son, Matthew was the
victim of a hate crime in Wyoming five years ago. He was killed after being lured out of a bar by two men, led to a remote field and beaten to death with the butt of a gun.
Shepard's speech will focus on encouraging every individual to make change in their community.Pauzauskie said that he thought the event would inspire onlookers to get involved with Into The Streets Week events.
"We hope that it will galvanize their spirits." Pauzauksie said.
Pauzauskie said he thought that Shepard's presence would draw a considerable crowd.
Admission vouchers were available from the SUA office but interested individuals could still gain admission at the door.
Laura Heidbreder, vice president of university relations for SUA, said that Shepard had a powerful message.
"She has made herself a leader by going public about an issue people try to hide behind," Heidbreder said. "She represents what Into The Streets Week is all about."
Into The Streets Week is a series of events sponsored by the Center for Community Outreach and is designed to motivate students to find causes and promote awareness and activism.
Into The Streets Week will also hold a voter registration drive, a hunger banquet and a sleepout to increase homeless awareness during the week.
Pauzauskie said that Shepard was receiving about $10,000 to speak at the University of Kansas. The money comes from SUA and CCO budgets.
Originally, Michael Moore, director of films such as Bowling For Columbine, was scheduled to speak.
Pauzauskie said that miscommunication issues with Moore's agent was the reason why he was not secured as a guest speaker.
The event, co-sponsored by Student Union Activities, is the opening event of Into The Streets Week. The event is free and begins at 8 p.m.

Uninsured students have more options
By Matt Rodriguez

Brieanne Comacho turned 23 this year. But in addition to receiving birthday presents, she had one of her longtime possessions taken — her health insurance. The insurance company told her that her family plan would no longer cover her because of her age.
The Overland Park senior is now batting a cold and needs new contact lenses. Without insurance, Comacho feels that her options are limited.
"It's a gray area," Comacho said. "I have no idea who will cover my medical bills or help me pay for my prescriptions."
For the second consecutive year, the number of uninsured Americans rose in 2002, according to the United States Census Bureau. The percentage of uninsured Americans rose from 14.6 percent in 2001 to 15.2 percent in 2002, meaning 43.6 million Americans are without health insurance.
The bureau also found that Americans age 18 to 24 represented the highest uninsured population with 29.6 percent.
The 25-to-35-year-old group followed with 24.9 percent.
Young adults, mainly students, are at a high risk for losing health insurance. College students are in and out of full-time and part-time status and, like Comacho, are becoming too old for their parents' policies.
Most insurance companies will stop insuring children under their family policy when they reach a certain age. The age insurance companies drop dependents can be anywhere from 19 to 23 years old. Research done by the Kansas Insurance Department has shown that 19.8 percent of Kansans age 19 to 24 are uninsured.
The study also provided the state's overall all uninsured number, dividing the state into 10 regions. Douglas and Shawnee counties were one region. It found that 16.5 percent of people age 19 to 24 in this region were uninsured, which rated as the second highest of all regions in terms of percentage insured. The lowest percentage region of the same age group was southwest Kansas, which covered 25 counties.

Who's Conanche, and what does he have to do with the University of Kansas?
Comanche was allegedly the only survivor (on the U.S. side) of Custer's last stand at Little Horn. And he's a horse!
While some people mistakenly believe that the horse belonged to Custer himself, Comanche was actually owned by Myles Keogh, an Irish immigrant who fought valiantly for the United States.
Comanche was recovered by the Army, which decided that he was never to be riden or worked again, and was kept as a living memorial to the Battle of Little Big Horn.
After his death, he was stuffed and put on display at the University's Natural History Museum, where he remains to this day.

Supreme Court justice's impartiality questioned
Just a month after Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was scrutinized for hunting with Vice President Dick Cheney, which questioned his impartiality on a case, he has been linked to a similar situation with the dean of the KU law school.
Stephen McAllister, dean of the law school and interim director of the Robert
J. Dole Institute of Politics, arranged for Scialia to visit the law school and go hunting in Kansas shortly before the Supreme Court was to rule on two cases in which the McAllister was lead attorney, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.
McAllister was host to Scalia during his visit to the law school in November 2001. Scalia visited with law students and local judges and lawyers while he was in Lawrence. The next day, Scalia went hunting near Beloit with then-Gov. Bill Graves and former state Senate
Before his visit, Scalia had heard one case for which McAllister was the lead attorney. The case involved keeping sex offenders in custody after they had served their prison terms. Two weeks after Scalia's visit, McAllister was the lead attorney on a trial involving a Kansas prison program for treating sex criminals. McAllister was representing the state in both cases, and Scalia sided with Kansas in both.

The proposal of a merger between the men's and women's athletics department gave athletes mixed reactions.

The Faculty Senate unanimously
passed a resolution yesterday to investigate night security at the University of Kansas.
The University Senate Executive Committee said there was inadequate security in the evening that could endanger students and faculty, but that they were working on increasing campus safety.

Instead of helping our boys, the pseudo-sportsmen among our crowd only make it rougher on our team when it plays away from home since the hosts often retaliate for the slights done to their boys while here.

Greek awards recognize best achievements of 2003
By Azita Tafreshi

Kansan staff writer
As members of the Academy presented Hollywood's top honors at the Oscar awards, the Greek community at the University of Kansas also got into the spirit of the awards season.
A crowd of nearly 2,000 people gathered at the Lied Center last night to recognize the accomplishments of greek community at the 15th annual Greek Recognition Night.
Awards were presented to Panhellenic and Interfaternity chapters as well as outstanding individual members of the greek community
for their achievements in 2003.
"We take it seriously because not only does it help us recognize those people, but it also motivates them to strive for excellence in the future," the Prairie Village sophomore said.
Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Delta Delta and Kappa Alpha Theta sororites and Delta Chi fraternity all took home the evening's top honor, the Chapter Excellence Award.
The award is based on performance in seven different categories, said Emilie Guenther, vice president of interfraternal relations for the Panhellenic Association. The Overland Park junior said that the categories included: risk management, community relations, interfraternal relations, alumni relations, financial management and operations, scholarship programming and membership development.
Winning the Chapter Excellence Award is an important honor for a sorority or fraternity, said Ashley Male, member of Delta Delta Delta. The Leawood junior said that when prospective members saw that a chapter was doing well, it could have a posi-

Performances dinner end Asian Festival

Kansan staff writer
Daniel Krejci celebrated the end of last week's Asian Festival by attending the Taste of Asia cultural performances and dinner on Saturday.
"My friend is bringing pancit, which is a Filipino noodle dish, and it happens to be my favorite food," said Kreci, Olathe freshman, as he waited for the dinner buffet line to start.
"We had a lot of problems at rehearsal yesterday so we were kind of worried."
Once in line, Krejci was happy to see a buffet that not only had pancit, but dishes that he had never tried.

These included Japanese croquettes, vegetables and minced meat molded into a ball, bulgolgi, a Korean beef dish, and kimbop, rolls of rice wrapped in seaweed.

"I had never tried Japanese croquettes or pancit before. It was interesting, but really good too," she said.

After a brief intermission, all of the students from different Asian groups put on a cultural fashion show, one of the highlights of the event.
The different wardrobes included traditional Korean and Filipino costumes as well as Japanese school-girl uniforms.
Each student modeled a different outfit while walking down the stage, which was shaped like a runway, as another member of their organization described what the "models" were wearing.
The fashion show was followed by the Sinagtala group, which performed a cultural Filipino dance to the beat of drums.
Afterwards, Victoria Li, Overland Park sophomore and coordinator of the event, sang a modern Cantonese song and invited members of the audience to
dance on stage.
The finale of the performances was a screening of Thank You From Hell, the film that won the Asian film festival, which was held last Tuesday. The comedic horror film was made by Vinh
Nguyen, Overland Park senior.
Kreji said he enjoyed all the performances but he liked the acrobatic skill of the Sinagtala Filipino dance group the best.
Li said she was unsure of how the event would turn out, but was
happy with the results.
"We had a lot of problems at rehearsal yesterday so we were kind of worried," she said. "But everything turned out wonderful."

STUDENT KU SENATE
Z NEWTON
Zach Newton for The University Daily Kansan
Representative government is the intention of senates whether national, state or institutional. Each district or title is designated to provide a voice to many, so the representatives should be as diverse as the people whom they represent.
But Student Senate doesn't show the diversity of the University of Kansas. In this year's contest for Student Senate seats, four white males have announced their candidacy for the top two seats of the Student Senate, even though males don't represent the majority of the population.
Women make up 52 percent of the population on campus, but a woman has not been president of the Student Senate since Kimberly Cocks in 1995-96. And although minorities on this campus make up 19 percent of the population, Senate does not represent this.
The problem is not that the white males are going to corrupt or ruin the University. The problem is that many of the senators share the same perspective.
Also, prospective students may view the Student Senate as representative of the University. The president and the vice president are the most visible students on this campus.
For the Senate to serve the University and its students, many perspectives should guide legislation. Legislation
affects all students, and perspectives can be improved by diversity.
Senate presidents such as Justin Mills, Jonathan Ng and current vice president Catherine Bell have given the University a much-needed glimpse of diversity. Involvement in Student Senate needs to reach more students, whether officers or members. By expanding the scope of senators, the University will gain a stronger
voice. Women and minorities need to take the initiative to run for office and let the student population vote for the candidates that will best represent the University and its diversity.
PERSPECTIVE
White scholarship proves affirmative action unfair
Jason Mattera is trying the tolerance of the political left.
COMMENTARY
Mattera is the 20-year-old president of College Republicans at Roger Williams University in Bristol, R.I., who crafted a scathing indictment of affirmative action. He devised a $250 scholarship for whites only, which included an essay for applicants to describe why they are proud of their white heritage.
The academics at Roger Williams would have expected it from a white male. But Mattera is not white: He's Puerto Rican. And to further annoy members of academia there, he is the beneficiary of a $5,000 scholarship given only to minority students.
"No matter what my ethnicity is, I'm making a statement that scholarships should be given out based on merit and need." Mattera said in the Providence Journal.
These are not racist statements. All Mattera appears to be doing is illustrating the weaknesses of affirmative action.
Alex Hoffman opinion@kansan.com
But liberals see his action as a threat
Affirmative action remains a touchy subject because it is inherently flawed. Its basic principle of using race as a determining factor in employment systematically undermines minorities' ability to succeed on their intellect and hard work alone. Affirmative action incorrectly assumes that all minorities need to be spoon-fed government assistance, which further depicts them as dependent and incapable of achieving on their own.
Since its inception in 1965, affirmative action has evolved such that whites have had to deal with the liabilities it carries. Allan Bakke, an aspiring medical student, found it particularly infuriating that he was repeatedly rejected from entering a medical school when minorities with lesser credentials were accepted. In his 1978 court case, the Supreme Court recognized a form of reverse discrimination with regard to Bakke, but essentially offered no remedies to the problem.
Last year's University of Michigan admissions case only intensified the ambiguity. While the Supreme Court upheld the Michigan Law School's policy of race being considered for admittance by a 5-4 vote, it voted 6-3 to revise the points system that gave more points to minorities.
Mattera will probably be assailed for what liberals would call an "outrageous stunt." Perhaps he has been already. But he is smart enough to know that these
policies only exacerbate the problem. Those on the left always preach about being the most tolerant, inclusive group. In the Roger Williams case and in countless others, it is selective tolerance at best.
Proponents of affirmative action see it as the only means available to bolster diversity. Imperfect as the program is, they point out the progress that has been made since it began. But as Alan Keyes, an African American who once ran for president, said, "We're arguing about whether or not you should use an unfair type of discrimination to remedy an unfair type of discrimination. Curing injustice by perpetuating it doesn't seem to me to be a very good cure."
That's the motivation for what's happening at Roger Williams. But in institutions that supposedly embrace a free marketplace of ideas, Mattera's viewpoint shouldn't be denounced.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
'Pachyderm'misrepresented
The letter to the editor in last Monday's opinion page regarding appointed Student Senate seats was very interesting, but it seemed to miss the underlying point of the opposing argument. The article in the Pachyderm was not written by a racial bigot seeking to eliminate African-American representation from the Student Senate, but rather to make the point that it is very unfair to give certain groups an appointed seat in the Student Senate.
By giving that right to some, it logically follows that the Chess Club, basketball team and every other campus organization should be able to appoint its own senator. Since that is an outrageous alternative, it makes sense to eliminate all of the appointed seats.
As Thomas Knutzen has pointed out, it would be ridiculous to ask the state or federal government to appoint seats based on the subjective opinion that a certain group is "special."
The issue of appointed seats in the Student Senate is an issue that, because of its inherent inequalities, should be seriously reconsidered by the Senate body.

Week of activites encourages service beyond volunteering
Nearly 7,000 students volunteered through the University of Kansas Center for Community Outreach last year. These students realize the importance of engaging themselves in their community for the experience they gain, the people they meet, the opportunities that are presented and the ability to actively take part in their community. These students are the best that we as a community have to offer.
However, community involvement does not stop with volunteering. It is just as important that each of these students are educated about the issues for which they are working. Without education, volunteers will be disconnected from the experience. Volunteers performing rote tasks contributes to a Band-Aid effect that can detract from solutions to these

problems. Although college students are volunteering in higher numbers than ever before, these same students are not showing up to the polls to vote or contacting their legislators regarding the same issues to which they give their services.
Once a year the Center for Community Outreach hosts Into The Streets
Week to address these issues among college students. Students have the opportunity to connect to their community during a week of campus-wide activities. The primary focus is civic responsibility as it extends beyond volunteering. Social service introduces students to problems in their community, but taking further action is necessary to address the root causes of the problem and learn why these services are needed.
During Into the Streets Week, students are invited to participate in community service through Jubilee Café, GROW Community Garden Project and Read Across America. Fundraisers will benefit programs provided for the homeless population in Lawrence and help fund free testing of sexually transmitted diseases at Watkins Memorial Health
Center. Speakers will add to the educational component of the week by addressing topics ranging from hate crimes to testimonials about poverty and homelessness. One featured speaker will be Judy Shepard, mother of Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old man who was tortured and beaten to death in Wyoming. Interactive events will put students into direct contact with issues of focus, including the Senior Prom for older community members, the Hunger Banquet focusing on world hunger and the Sleepout for Homelessness, which invites students to become homeless for a night.
In addition, students will be encouraged to become registered voters and will be reminded of how voting and talking to legislators can induce social change.
Voter registration cards will be available at all the Into the Streets Week events, a table on Wescoe Beach and the Kansas Union fourth floor lobby each day of the week.
Students are invited and challenged to further their community involvement during the week. The opportunities are endless. The call for civic engagement extends beyond Into The Streets Week. If you are interested in more information about any of these events or more ways to become an active citizen please contact us.
Fox is a Pittsburgh senior in business administration and accounting. Hager is a Shawnee senior in sociology and art history. They are the co-directors for the Center for Community Outreach.

Prices vary for oil change
By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Any car owner knows an oil change comes about every three months or 3,000 miles. Around Lawrence, prices range from $15.88 to $50, depending on the car and the oil used.
Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa St., offers a basic oil change that includes changing the oil filter and lubrication for $15.88.
It also offers a 15-point check for $18.74 that includes additional services such as fluid check, tire pressure and suspension check.
Wendland Performance Service, 2103 W. 26th St., and Firestone Tire and Service Center, 2425 Iowa St. are among the few locations that offer the service for less than $20.
Doug's Automotive, 530 Gateway Dr., offers a $19.95 oil service. Most other locations range from $22.50 to $30 with variances in services offered with the oil change.

Schwehr said that he recommended that students change their own oil to save money.
Changing oil regularly is essential to a car's maintenance. Neglecting oil changes causes excess dirt suspension in the car's oil that increases friction on metal parts.
It also causes moisture in the oil that causes acidic deterioration in the engine.
A common breakdown associated with irregular or late oil changes is the oil pump wearing out, Bach said. He added that it wasn't uncommon to have an entire engine replaced in extreme cases.
Bach said most students did not put very high mileage on their cars, and therefore should change

Hallmark grant revitalizes arts
By Jodie Krafft
jkraftf@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Hallmark Cards Inc. in Kansas City, Mo., has given the KU department of design a $500,000 grant.
Over the span of three years, the grant will provide funding for the new chairman of the department to make changes to specific programs within the department, said Thomas Beisecker, interim chairman of the department.
"This undesignated money allows us to approach the things that we need to do," Beisecker said. "It gives the department a lot of flexibility."
Beisecker said the grant will also allow for professional travel and the reopening of a graphic design program called "The Arts."
"The Arts" program is a graphic design class that allows students to design real materials for non-profit clients. The program was suspended last summer because of budget cuts.
Wes Gehbauer, St. Louis senior, took the class last spring. He said the class was disorganized and that students had to work with outdated technology because of the lack of funds.
"This grant will really benefit students," Gehbauer said. "I have friends in graphic design that came to KU just because of 'The Arts' program."
Beisecker said the grant was not a formal grant — Steven Hedden, dean of fine arts, made a special request to Hallmark.
car request For more than 20 years, Hallmark has supported the department through grants and visits from guest speakers, Beisecker said.
In return, the department produces potential designers and illustrators for the company. Hallmark hires a high number of graduates from the University, said Mark Spencer, creative resource manager for Hallmark
'Lord of the Rings' awarded record-tying 11 Oscars
"We help them and they help us." Spencer said.
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King won a record-tying 11 Academy Awards on Sunday, including best picture and director and becoming the first fantasy to win the top Oscar.
In the acting categories, all the winners took home their first Oscars: Charlize Theron won best actress for her transformative performance as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in *Monster*, and Sean Penn was named best actor for playing a vengeful ex-hood-
lum who falls back on his criminal ways in Mystic River.
Tim Robbins won the supporting-actor prize for his performance as an emotionally crippled murder suspect in Mystic River, and Renee Zellweger took supporting actress as a hardy Confederate survivor in Cold Mountain.
After the first two installments of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy were shut out of major awards, "Return of the King" swept all 11 categories in which it was nominated. It matched the record 11 wins of "Titanic" and "Ben-Hur" and became only the third movie
to sweep every nominated category, following Gigi and The Last Emperor, which both went ninefor-nine.
"I especially just lastly want to thank our wonderful cast who just got their tongues around this rather awkward text and made it come to life with such devotion and passion and heart," said Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson.
Composer Howard Shore took his second Oscar for writing Lord of the Rings music, having won two years ago on Part 1 of the saga, The Fellowship of the Ring.

into this uninsured category. Students are finding themselves stuck in this transitional period from being on their family policy to one of their own.
Overall health and well-being
"The problem is students are moving from dependency to independence and some students have not been taught about how insurance works," said Napoleon Crews, associate director of administrative operations for Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Kansas Health Institute's Index of Overall Health and Well-being for 1985 to 1995 shows that Douglas County is ranked as one of the 21 lowest counties in terms of overall health and well-being. Higher scores on the index suggest higher levels of overall health and well-being.

But Watkins can't meet everybody's needs. Students with medical emergencies must go to the emergency room at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine St. A trip to the emergency room could be costly.
Doctors at Watkins will not deny any student of medical treatment. They don't let money stand in the way of giving medical attention, Crews said. Watkins is willing to work with students without insurance for any medical bill they might have there. The business office offers a payment plan or can adjust payment based on the student's income.
The Kansas Board of Regents and the Kansas Health Care Commission accepted a bid from the MEGA Life and Health Insurance Company, of Oklahoma City, to offer students a University health care plan. The regular insurance plan offers students a $580.50 annual fee. The plan covers just health care with a $150 deductible. It doesn't cover dental or vision./About 1,300 students took advantage of the University's insurance plan in 2002.
Regardless of whether a student has health insurance, he or she is able to be examined by a doctor or nurse at Watkins for free. Students are entitled to these visits by paying their student health fee at enrollment. The fee covers doctor visits at Watkins, but does not cover lab fees, prescriptions and other medical services.
"Students should take advantage of their school's insurance plan," said Belinda Rehmer, spokeswoman for Lawrence Memorial Hospital. "It may look as though you are paying a lot, but if you ended up in the emergency room without insurance it could
cost more than the insurance would have."
Lawrence Memorial Hospital also offers its patients a payment plan, or bases the cost on the patient's income. A visit to the emergency room could be three times more expensive than seeing a normal doctor, Rehmer said.
Some employers offer part-time employees insurance options, but the requirements can be demanding for a college student.
Comaeho works at Gap, 634 Massachusetts St. She has looked into her company's health plan.
"It would only take out about $75 a month out of my paycheck," Comacho said. "The problem is that I would have to work 30 to 40 hours a week to get the part-time benefits."
Even though Comacho doesn't have health insurance, she has other options.
Uninsured Kansans under 65
Statewide, the highest rate of the uninsured (19.8%) is among young adults age 19 to 24. Children and older adults have comparatively lower rates. Figures represent the percentage of uninsured in each age group.
Heartland Medical Center is located in the basement of Heartland Church, 619 Vermont St. It offers discounted medical care to the uninsured, and a low cost for the insured. The clinic has two full-time doctors during the week and prescription drugs donated by several pharmaceutical companies. It also has partnerships with individual pharmacies in Lawrence that will provide discounted prescriptions.

Washington, in addition to her coaching achievements, will be remembered for her genuine care for her players and the University of Kansas during her stay.
Washington finished her career with a 559-356 overall record in her 31 years at Kansas. She is one of only nine coaches in women's basketball history to amass more than 500 victories with the same school. Her 31 years of experience also ranks as the second-highest in women's history.
She led the Jayhawks to 11 NCAA tournaments, including nine straight from 1991-2000. Hert teams at Kansas won the conference title seven times, and Washington won conference Coach of the Year in three different seasons. Her teams reached the Sweet 16 in both 1995-1996
"It's not a business for her," Kansas athletics director Lew Perkins said. "It's a passion."
"It was one of those inspirational speeches, telling us what she had to do for herself," junior guard Aquanita Burras said, "and we understood that."
Perkins said Washington contacted him earlier in the week about her decision to retire, though official word did not come until Friday afternoon.
Washington then had her final meeting with her team as the head coach, giving one last emotional talk.
"As an athlete, you can be very selfish, but the key to living is giving. I'm glad I learned that valuable lesson from

Senior plays last game at fieldhouse

Kansas sportwriter
Leila Menguc, Stockholm, Sweden, senior, waved to the crowd as she stood next to former women's basketball coach Marian Washington. Menguc played 15 minutes her last game in Allen Fieldhouse on Senior Day Saturday.
Saturday, Senior Day, Leila Mengui played her last game at Allen Fieldhouse in front of family, friends and fans bearing signs congratulating her.
All-American Swedish Girl
Betow are some of the many placards held by fans at the fieldhouse Saturday. In part, they help to tell the story of a Jayhawk from Sweden.
Mengüç has been a Jayhawk scholar three times and was named to the Academic All-Big 12 first team twice.
On Saturday, Menguc's mother, Leena, came to Kansas to see her daughter play her last games. This was her first trip to Lawrence.
it's quite an atmosphere. I went to the European Championships in Stockholm last year," Leena Menguiq said, "and I think the whole atmosphere here is better."
Thanks for Many Good Years
This has been a different year for the senior, as she lost her spot in the starting lineup and her playing time has decreased.
Last season Mengüç started 28 of 29 games and notched 77 points, an average of almost three per game.
game.
"I still remember the first time I came to the Fieldhouse," she said.
"I ran all the way up to the top with my camera. It was love at first sight."
Swedish Girls Rule
Swedish Christmas Basketball came to Mengtie at an early age. Influenced by elder
sisters Elin and Aila, Mengiuc put on her first uniform at an early age. Aila played basketball at Florida International University.
"Lela wanted to start, and the coach gave her a jersey. Her size, very tiny and little." Leena Menguç said. "She was six or seven."
She played throughout childhood and high school. She also played on a Swedish club team that won Swedish and Nordic Championships.
Leila, We Love You
With her limited minutes this year. Mengüç has been able to take
another role on the team.
"She's the heart of the team," junior guard Aquanita Burras said. "She's that person who can push you, get you going."
Interim coach Lynette Woodard echoed Burras' sentiments.
"She has been the heart and soul of this team for four years," Woodard said. "A great motivator, she plays with passion." Leila Rocks

Earlier in the week, Mengüc indicated that she expected her team to go out and do all it could for a victory. She was pleased, even
though the team couldn't bring back a victory.
"It was great. Everybody put their effort out there," Mengüçsaid.
While she may not have always posted the highest numbers, Mengüc has always worked to provide support and intangibles to her Jayhawk team. She remains thankful for her Kansas experience.

"I want to thank coach Washington"
Menguc said, "for taking me to this wonderful place."

This all rattled through my mind waiting outside Marian's office. But instead of Beau exiting the door, it was Marian, her face with that constant warm smile.
NEWELL: Washington's career covered more than just coaching
She didn't want to just talk with me, she wanted to invite me inside her office.

"She's the type of person that you can talk to about anything," junior guard Aquanita Burras said. "If you're mother's not there, she's there. That's a lot, when you have 15 daughters."
so many players—surrounding me, I realized the one truth about Marian Washington: This was not the office of an instructor, this was the office of a mother.
Say what you will about her recent coaching record. In 31 years, she won seven league titles, and considering there were between seven and 11 teams to compete against, this still seems pretty successful.
She pushed for the progression of women's basketball. She fought for equality between the women's and men's programs. She helped those women in college today who might not even know she did.
But even that's not the point. Marian meant so much more than victories.
"I hope everybody takes a second to thank Marian Washington," Athletics Director Lew Perkins said. "She laid the
groundwork for women's basketball. If nothing else, that's what I'll always remember Marian for."
But notice Perkins didn't talk about coach Washington or Ms. Washington. It was Marian. That's what it was to all that met her.
More than the wins, more than the equal rights, more than basketball itself, Marian, for 31 years, did something amazing: She had a positive impact on people's lives.
Maybe the best example is interm coach Lynette Woodard. Sure, Marian taught her about basketball, which enabled Woodard to become the all-time leading scorer in women's NCAA history and pursue a professional career with the Harlem Globetrotters (the first woman, in fact) and in the WNBA. But, when talking about Marian, that is not what comes to Woodard's mind.
"The love that she gives to other people and her giving spirit. I wasn't like that in the beginning," Woodard said. "I watched her and saw the fruit from that, and I would always say if I could be a little like that, I would be very proud of my life."
One can only hope, wherever she is, Marian is proud of hers as well.
Coach. Teacher. Mother.
But, most of all, just Marian.

KUAC board approves priority points seating plan
By Joe Bant
jbant@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The saga of the men's basketball priority points seating plan may be coming to a close.
The University of Kansas Athletics Corporation board of directors approved the plan Friday. Now, only the chancellor's approval remains to be had. The vote was one vote shy of being unanimous.
Most board members had only positive things to say about the plan, praising revisions that awarded points for University service and membership in the Chancellor's Club, which is a club for academic donors. Board member Mike Maddox said he apprecii-
ated the fairness of the plan.
"We've all got constituencies that we'd love to take care of, but we're going to be as fair as we possibly can," Maddox said.
The primary way to earn points is donating to athletics. Other ways include graduating from the University and previously holding season tickets, among others. Ticket-holders must be members of the Williams Fund to use their points. Membership in the Williams Fund requires a minimum $100 annual donation.
The total amount of points ticket-holders have will determine the quality of the seats they get, with more points equaling better seats.
Board member Bill Tuttle was the lone voice of opposition and provided the only dissenting
vote. Tuttle said he still had concerns about longtime season ticket holders losing their seats and what he viewed as the value of revenue over loyalty.
Athletics Director Lew Perkins said he could have the plan ready for Chancellor Hemenway as early as today. Hemenway will review the plan and suggest any changes he feels are necessary.
Hemenway said he did not expect to make any significant revisions. The near unanimous support of both the KUAC and the ticket advisory committee indicated widespread support for the plan as it stands, Hemenway said.
He said he would mainly be looking to make sure the plan was as fair as it could possibly be.
Once the plan is finalized, the
Athletics Department will conduct a mock draft, using information about current ticket-holders to project their points total and where they will be sitting next year.
Perkins said the department would contact all the ticket-holders and provide them with the information when it's available.
The completed plan will be put to use for next year's basketball season. Ultimately, the department will use the system for football seating too, but Perkins said it would not be ready for next year's season.
The goal of the plan is to raise revenue for the Athletics Department. Perkins projected the revenue increase at between two and four million dollars.

WAYS TO EARN POINTS:
One point per account for every $100 donated to KUAC beginning July 1, 1978
Two points per account per sport, per year, of purchasing non-football season tickets, beginning fall of 1984

Kansas center David Padgett was escorted off the court yesterday by teammates Jeff Graves, Aaron Miles and Michael Lee after spraining his ankle. Officials said he may not play Wednesday against Nebraska. Padgett played six minutes in Kansas' 79-58 victory over Oklahoma.
Ignited by 13-2 and 11-3 runs in the second half, the Jayhawks looked like Kansas teams of recent years, scoring on fast breaks and buckling down on defense. The second run was capped by an alley-oop dunk from Aaron Miles to Langford to put the Jayhawks up 70-52.
"The key was just to never stop running," Simlen said. "OU came out and really tried to pressure us, and that kind of got us going and we got some clean rebounds. I think that was good for us this afternoon."
Amanda Kim Stairrett/Kansan
The boost from Graves and Lee was needed not only because of injuries to the Jayhawks' two freshman starters, but also to show that the team can play with the depth that has led them to consecutive Final Four appearances.
Lee was inserted into the game in the first half, but he was yanked immediately after turning the ball over. In the second half, Lee scored all 12 of his points, but his point production was just a footnote on his performance in the minds of his teammates and coach Bill Self.
"I wasn't impressed with the baskets as much as I was impressed when he did a great job on Detrick, he played with great energy and he wasn't worried about shooting." Self said.
"When you don't worry about shooting, you're always going to shoot it better. Today, he didn't think once. He just played."
For the Jawhacks to be successful in the near future, Graves will have to duplicate his performance and energy from yesterday's game. The main reason is because of the
high likelihood Padgett will not be able to play for a while.
X-rays on Padgett's right ankle came back negative.
Wayne Simien led the Jayhawks with 26 points and eight rebounds. Keith Langford's 22 points were his most since scoring 24 against Villanova on Jan. 2. Miles hit the double-digit assist mark for the 16th time in his career with 10 assists.
Freshman guard Lawrence McKenzie led Oklahoma with 15 points and Derrick added 10.
Next up for Kansas will be an opportunity to avenge its previous loss at Nebraska when the Cornuskers come to town on Wednesday. Just as important to Self and his players as keeping up the point production and solid defense will be maintaining the
"You've got to be able to handle emotions like a man, and you can't be all up and down," Langford said. "Point production is good wherever it comes from. But when we play with good energy and good half-court defense, that gives us our best chance to win."

"He obviously got the message," Self said. "Because when he got back in there he really plaved well."
Miles said he talked to Lee before the game about his slump and took notice of his defense afterwards.
"I told him offensively don't worry about it," Miles said. "Defensively just be a dog out there — a hound, a pit bull. And you know, that's what he showed tonight."
Along with Lee, senior forward Jeff Graves added help off
the bench with four points, seven rebounds and five assists.
Graves also added a spark in the first half with a big breakaway dunk that brought the crowd to its feet.
"I was just thinking, don't miss," Langford said with a smile after the game.
But Lee had a key play of his own in the second half. With Kansas up by two and 17:30 left, Lee drained a three that took the life out of Oklahoma for good. The Sooners never got any closer, as the Jayhawks rolled the rest of the way.

Kentucky slips by LSU takes Eastern Division
Sunday. Pitt's streak was the second longest in Division I, behind only Duke's 41-game run. The Panthers had been 34-0 at home since opening the Petersen Events Center last season and hadn't lost in Pittsburgh since being surprised by Notre Dame 56-53 on Jan. 12, 2002, at Fitzgerald Field House

Pena said his first four spots will be Berroa, Carlos Beltran, Mike Sweeney and Juan Gonzalez.
Near the end of the season, Pena moved Berroa to the top of the order. In 17 games leading off, Berroa hit .323 with a .371 on-base percentage and stole six bases without being caught.

Pena chose Berroa over Aaron Guel, who started 61 games as a leadoff hitter last season.
Pena said Guiel can drive the ball out of the park or into the gap. Guiel will bat lower in the order, possibly in the seventh spot.
Beltran batted third during 72 games and cleanup during 24 games last year, while hitting second just 16 games. Beltran has 100 or more RBI in four of the past five seasons.
Gonzalez, who has 1,387 RBI, will bat cleanup, behind Sweeney, a four-time All-Star pick.

Horoscopes
Today's Birthday (March 1).
Today's birthday (March 1). Home, family, true love and children are dominant themes in your life this year. A strong spiritual bond is the basis for your best relationships, so don't be afraid to set rules and stick to them, even when others disagree. Tough love is the best kind.
Arles (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6.
You're in quite a predicament. Your emotions are raging, but you're having trouble finding appropriate words. You certainly don't want to make things worse, so just watch and listen.
Taurus (April 20-May 20. Today is an 8.
You're smart, and you're building experience. Consult friends who are creative, but don't follow all of their advice. You're more practical, and that's necessary now. Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 5
Money may be on your mind, but don't make it an obsession. It's not the most important thing there is. Don't be rude to a person who can't do anything thing for your career. You never know.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 9.
You've got plenty of enthusiasm, but that might not be enough to get through to someone who thinks he or she already knows it all. Don't feel hurt.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 5. Your passions greatly exceed your ability to express them, so take care. You don't want to scare away somebody who could turn out to be a very good friend or lover. Be gentle.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a9.
You won't have to wonder which are your fair-weather friends, because you'll find out soon enough. Somebody who was only after your money is about to tip his or her hand.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Today is a 5.
There's plenty of responsibility, and the work looks interesting, but you may not see much income yet. Does this mean it's not valuable? Hardly! Just look at how much you're learning.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 10.
Your sweetheart may be a tad
argumentative, but otherwise things are going your way. If you can wait out the temper tantrum, your patience could be well rewarded.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 5.
There's no way to avoid it, an investment is required at home. Something that's broken will have to be fixed, or else you'll get the cold shoulder.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today in an 8.
You're in a rather feisty mood, and luckily you're smart. But don't be thoughtless and break a loved one's heart. And don't step on anyone's stoees if you can help it. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Today is a 5.
Working for money can be nice, and it's certainly necessary, but it can also be rather annoying when it interferes with your fun. That could happen, so stay calm.
lpusce (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is an 8.
It'll be easier than usual to find the right words to express your love today. Truth is, you already know what to say.

Jayhawks win with team effort
Kansas reserve players chip in power and points
By Ryan Greene
green@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The last time the Jayhawks had at least 21 points from their bench was the 96-77 pounding of Texas Tech on Feb.7.
Freshman guard J.R. Giddens was also hurting and spent the majority of the second half on the bench.
That was the exact number of points the reserves poured in for Kansas (18-7 overall, 10-4 Big 12 Conference) in the 79-58 victory over Oklahoma (16-9, 7-8) yesterday at Allen Fieldhouse.
The effort from the bench could not have come at a better time for the Jayhawks, Freshman forward David Padgett was in early foul trouble and hurt his right ankle with 9:46 left in the game.
Enter Jeff Graves and Mike Lee.
Enter jon The duo recorded 16 points, 11 rebounds and six assists which gave the Jayhawks the depth they have been missing for the past couple of weeks.
weeks.
"It's big because lately the point production has been slim and pretty much nothing," Lee said. "To come out and do that: it feels good."
Juniors Keith Langford and Wayne Simien scored the first 15 of the Jayhawks' first 18 points, and helped open a 20-7 lead just eight minutes into the contest.

The Sooners brought their signature rough-and-tumble style to the floor. Behind guards Drew Lavender and Jason Detrick, Oklahoma was able to get back as close as four points before going into the locker room trailing 36-31.

Team rebounds with much-needed victory over Oklahoma Sooners

Juniors Wayne Simien, Keith Langford and Aaron Miles all turned in their regular top-notch performances yesterday in the Jayhawks' 79-58 defeat of Oklahoma.
But, for the first time in a while, they got a little help.
Junior guard Mike Lee, who had scored just nine points in his last five games, scored all 12 of his points in the second half while knocking down five of his seven shot attempts for the game.
Lee's performance came just one game after the entire Jayhawk bench scored only two points in an 82-67 loss
at Texas.
"Mike was huge," Langford said. "That has to be a consistent factor for us."
The bench has been anything but consistent for the Jayhawks this season. But Lee proved the Jayhawks are more than just their top five players. And the sold-out Jayhawk crowd took notice.
Lee received a standing ovation as he left the game for good with just over three minutes remaining in the second half. This was a big change from earlier in the game.
Kansas coach Bill Self had pulled Lee out of the game right after he committed an early turnover.

Season's last home game ends in Jayhawk loss on Senior Day

Everyone wanted this one. Ask any Kansas women's basketball player and they'll tell you, they wanted this one. Departing senior Leila Menguc and retiring coach Marian Washington wanted this one.
the crowd applauded women's basketball coach Marian Washington during a ceremony honoring her before the women's basketball game on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. Washington retired from her coaching position Friday after a medical leave of absence.
Alas, it was not to be. Kansas lost to the visiting Nebraska cornhuskers 65-61 on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas (9-17, 2-13 Big 12 Conference)

came out with passion and trailed by only four until 15:29 remained in the first half.
At that point it took a lead that would grow all the way to seven points before Nebraska (17-9, 7-8 Big 1) wrestled it away from them. Nebraska took a five point lead into the locker room at half and never looked back.
Kansas had many chances to put up points early in the game but missed converting many.
"Missing point blank lay-ups, you can't get a better shot than that," interim head coach Lynette Woodard said. "And we missed several of those in the first half that really would have helped us."
When the teams came out for the second half, Kansas seemed a little flat. It looked like the Jayhawks knew their season was almost over.
season was timed Kansas watched the lead grow from five to nine, before it made a stand. With 11:30 remaining in the game. Kansas knocked the lead down to three after sophomore forward Crystal Kemp nailed a jumper.
Kemp, the team's leading scorer
and one of only two players to start 25 games this season, scored 24 points in the game and pulled down seven boards. She shot almost 70 percent from the field and went 2-2 from the line.
With :32 left in the game, the Jayhawks were able to pull within one, after sophomore forward Tamara Ransburg hit two from the free-throw line. As a team, Kansas was perfect from the line, going 6-6.
"Crystal Kemp, she just had a brilliant day," Woodard said. "She played very hard. She put her heart out there."
That was as close as they would get.
toob down the court and "We all have to stay more focused and stick to the game plan," Mengüç said.
The teams traded points until Nebraska put up the final two points on a long job down the court as time ran out.
The team committed 16 turnovers and gave up 20 points off of them. Nebraska committed just 12 turnovers and allowed only 10 points for them.
Last time the two teams met, Kansas led early but was dominated overall, due to an inability to consistently put the ball in the net. Kemp placed a lot of emphasis on scoring droughts as a source of Saturday's defeat.
"I think it was one of our dry spells again," she said. "They'd score, but we wouldn't respond back. They just had that edge and momentum going in."
The Jayhawk were hurt by their inability to hit shots from beyond the three-point arc. Usually-consistent sophomore guard Erica Hallman went a dismal 1-5 from way out and was the only Jayhawk to sink a threeball.
Junior guard Aquanita Burras also scored in double figures with 10 points. Ransburg pulled down a team-leading nine boards and added eight points.

Washington remembered for caring
With her retirement, it is only proper for me to refer to coach Marian Washington by her official title.
So, for this column, I will simply call her Marian, like so many others have.
She was personal. She was honest. She was caring.
She was just Marian.
She was just mature. It would be unfair to reflect on Marian's coaching abilities, as incorrect as this may sound. With more than 550 career victories, it would be easy to list off those accomplishments and say she was a great coach — which, undoubtedly, she was.
But the better story is Marian the person. This is what many people don't know but should.
I will forever remember Marian because of one event. After a practice, she made a quick exit, retreating to her office. I asked Beau White, the sports information director for women's basketball, if there would be any way possible to get a few words with her. I didn't expect much.
See, there are a few certain expectations between the media and coaches at the Division I level. Coaches know the media's job is to ask the tough questions, question the tough decisions, and decide what the coach could and should have done.
Understandably, coaches often come to the media frustrated and tired. The questions seem to never end. The answers never seem to be good enough.

In the dust: Sprinter breaks national record
By Michael Phillips
mphillips@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Running a scorching 20.58 in the 200 meters, Kansas sprinter Leo Bookman set a new Big 12 Championship record and won the conference championship in Lincoln. Neb., Saturday.
Bookman, a senior, ran the best time in the nation and the third fastest time in the world this year, according to the
International Association of Athletics Federations.
Bookman was competing along with the rest of the Kansas track team at the Big 12 Championships, held in the Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln.
All-Big 12 honors went to 15 Jayhawks, of whom only three are seniors.
The Kansas women's team finished seventh, while the men came in ninth.
Bookman was not the only record breaker for Kansas this weekend.
Freshman Tiffany Cherry broke the KU indoor record in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.63 in the semifinals.
Cherry finished a solid eighth over all.
Two more Jayhawks, Laura Lavioie and Brooklyn Hann, scored NCAA provisional qualifying marks.
Lavioe, a senior, finished third over all in the mile run with a season-best
time of 4:46.43.
The women's 4X400-meter relay team also finished third, and its time of 3:42.32 is the third-fastest in Kansas indoor history.
In the triple jump, Hann finished third with her mark of 41-09.75.
Coach Stanley Redwine said he
The relay team consisted of Kim Clark, Stacy Keller, Brooklyn Hann and Octavia Garrett.

was encouraged by the 12 underclassmen who received All-Big 12 honors, and that the team still had one more opportunity to make the NCAA tournament.
That opportunity will come at the Iowa State Invitational in Ames, Iowa.
。
The meet will be next Saturday, one week before the NCAA Indoor Championships begin.

University students lacking awareness of sex and STDs
March 2, 2004
About 300 students at the University of Kansas had chlamydia in 2003, according to reports from Watkins Memorial Health Center. While the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases on campus is low, the lack of students' awareness about STDs may be cause for concern.
STD statistics released
"Many students who come in here with STDs don't know what they are," said Henry Buck, Watkins gynecologist.
Chlamydia, an STD that causes painful urination, is the most common STD on campus, according to Watkins' records.
This is the first year the gynecology and men's clinics have gathered statistics on STDs other than chlamydia.
Human papillomavirus, an STD that could be pre-cancerous, is the second

most common, with 255 students having HDV lesions
HPV have no symptoms. If lesions are present on the genitalia, the patient is sure to have an STD, most likely HPV, Buck said.
Chlamydia, HPV, herpes simplex and molluscan contagiosum are the four most common STDs treated at Watkins.
Buck said that these statistics refer to only the patients of the gynecology and men's clinics at Watkins. The clinics had 7,138 visits in 2003, up from 6,157 in 2002, according to Watkins' records.
There were 436 HIV tests done in 2003 and zero positives.
Buck performed 2,526 Pap smears last year,9 percent of which were abnormal. An abnormal Pap smear may indicate that a person has a STD or pre-cancerous cells.

Beloved 'singing chancellor' dies at 83
By Jodie Krafft jkraft@kansan.com jkraft@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
W. Clarke Wescoe, former professor, dean and chancellor of the University of Kansas, died Sunday. He was 83.
Wescoe came to the University in 1951 as a professor of pharmacology and experimental medicine in the
School of Medicine. In 1952, at the age of 32, he became the youngest dean in the nation. A year later, Wescoe was appointed as director of the University of Kansas Medical Center.

Stokstad recalled a formal event in which she was to receive an honorary doctorate degree. She said Wescoe showed up with a KU baseball cap on his head and a grin on his face.
his head at a very subtle but very wicked sense of humor," Stokstad said.
Wescoe also enjoyed surprising people, Stokstad said. During the University's 1966 commencement, Wescoe delivered his speech, "I Could Have Talked All Night," and was accompanied by the band, playing, "I Could Have Danced All Night." Wescoe became known as the "singing chancellor," according to a press release from University Relations.
"Everyone was just dumfounded, but after he did it once, people waited for his next performance," Stokstad said. "It takes a certain kind of person to think of that in the first place and then get away with it."
Bob Basow, associate professor of journalism, said he remembered hearing about Wescoe as a freshman during orientation. The speaker at orientation spoke of the time period B.O.C Before Our Clarke.

Senate boards not all meeting
Student senators confused about boards' missions
By Andy Marso

Kansan staffwriter
At a recent meeting, the Senate Finance Committee asked for nominations for a senator to fill a vacancy on one of its boards.
Student Senate has more than 30 boards, committees and subcommittees that senators serve on. While most of these groups have regular meetings and solid attendance, there are a handful of boards that haven't met all year, leaving some senators confused about their mission.
After a long pause one of the senators nominated himself but was told he had to withdraw his nomination. He was already on that particular board.
Jeff Dunlap, vice chairman of the Finance Committee and KUnited's vice presidential candidate, said such boards were the exception, not the rule.
"The vast majority of them meet, do their job perfectly well, and everyone knows if they're on them." Dunlap said
Dunlap serves on five boards and is

"If you didn't know you were on the Transportation Board, someone would tell you within a week that you needed to start showing up," Dunlap said.
For instance, McKenzie knows he serves on the Long Range Planning Committee, but the committee hasn't met all year and McKenzie isn't sure what it's supposed to do.
"I wouldn't think it would be responsible for the long range planning of the entire university." he said.

Sorority members may lose parking
Some members of Gamma Phi Beta, Chi Omega and Sigma Kappa buy yellow permits and regularly park in the lot behind JRP Hall because their chapter house lots are too small. The parking department is reevaluating the parking situation in the lot after receiving complaints from commuters who have to fight for spaces there every morning.

Johnson said visitors of JRP suggested that sorority members park in lots near Memorial Stadium or the Kansas Union
ment.
Fifty to 80 sorority members park in the yellow lot overnight, said Kyle Johnson, parking commission student representative. The Wichita senior said the complaints he has heard centered on the fact that a yellow permit is technically a commuter permit, which means you're driving to and from school. But there is no limit to how long a car can be in any lot as long as it has the correct permit, Hultine said.

Sororities on West Campus Road have limited space in their chapter house parking lots and some members are forced to park in to the lot behind JRP Hall. There are 185 spaces in the JRP lot.
Moving sorority members to the stadium lot won't solve the problem of insufficient parking, Johnson said. He said asking the women to park farther away would just create a safety issue.

Man assaults female student; Safety office issues an alert
The KU Public Safety Office is searching for a man who assaulted a KU student with a gun on Saturday.
The female student reported that she was driving west just after 1 p.m. on 11th Street. As she crossed the 11th and Missouri streets intersection, the suspect, driving east, passed her. He pointed a gun at her and then retracted it and continued east.
A crime alert issued yesterday described the suspect as a white male in his 20s with light brown hair and dark eyes. He was wearing an unknown color jacket and a baseball cap with a red bill worn at an angle. He was driving a 1990s green four-door Ford or Chevy.
Anyone who has information on this crime should contact the KU Public Safety Office at 864-5900 or KU Crime Stoppers at 864-8888.

Senator pushes for more wireless Internet access
By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Students could be surfing the Internet on Wescoe Beach soon.
Student Senator Arthur Jones will attend a Planning and Resource Committee meeting today to push for an expanded budget for wireless Internet access areas where many students assemble.
Jones said he eventually wants wireless Internet all over campus.
"It's my dream that in two-and-a-half years, when I get out of here, to have every classroom hooked up," Jones said.
A $50,000 fund is already in place to have wireless units installed in six to 10 locations.
Locations being considered are Wesco Beach and Wescoe Terrace, Jones said.
race. The criteria for choosing locations include primarily major common areas with high student traffic and use. The Kansas Union is already equipped with wireless Internet, and Watson and Anschutz libraries are compatible with their own computers that students can check out.
Part of the $50,000 fund is being allocated towards revamping the library system so students can use their own laptops instead of having to borrow library laptops.
tops. The switch-over to a public server in the libraries is currently in the works and should be completed soon, said Tom Roderick, coordinator of information services.
Jones said he would push further for a budget to get classrooms equipped with wireless Internet accessibility. The lecture rooms in Budig Hall are areas under consideration.
The expenses of wireless Internet installation will be a major obstacle for the project. Each wireless hub, the unit that routes the Internet traffic, costs $800 each. An individual hub provides a 300 foot radius for Internet access. Wesco Beach could require two to three separate units, Jones said.

Maintaining each unit would cost $282 a year. Other costs include initial start-up costs as

Students with laptops must get a wireless Internet card installed in their computers to be compatible with the public server.
well as installation expenses that could all add up to an expensive project.
The computers then must be configured to access the server. The configuration is a simple process, Roderick said. The J-Tech booth on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union will configure student's computers for free.
Student Senate is currently deciding which areas on campus can benefit from wireless installation. Once a budget is decided, Facilities Operations will begin work on getting electricity to the facilities and installing the wireless hardware. The installation
will take several months to complete.
"I would think on the safe side, the end of the semester or the beginning of summer is plausible." Roderick said.
American University in Washington, D.C., has wireless Internet throughout its campus and in all of its classrooms.
Installing wireless Internet in all of the classrooms was still a goal that Jones said he wanted to fulfill.
an Orrish College Jennifer Oetzel, assistant professor of international business at American University, said that having such access helped teaching and learning.
"It's a big advantage in that you can easily show students things on the Internet in class," Oetzel
Oetzel also said that it reduced long-term costs for American University, in that students would provide their own computers instead of the University having to purchase and maintain computers of its own.
Kansas State University has a similar wireless Internet set up like the University of Kansas, with services in its student union, libraries and business school.
University of Missouri is ahead of its regional rivals with wireless access set up in most academic buildings, all administrative buildings, its library, union and one residence hall.

University hires director for career services program
By Anna Clovis
aclovers@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
University Career and Employment Services has filled its own "help wanted" request
David Gaston, formerly the assistant director of recruitment at the University of Mississippi Career Center, will become the new director of the program on March 8. He replaces Gail Rooney who left the position in August 2003.
University Career and Employment Services connects students to jobs and internships. Other services include mock job interviews, resume assistance and career fairs.
Gaston said the opportunity to take a leadership position lured him to the University of Kansas.
He will also be closer to home. Gaston, who grew up in northwest Arkansas, said Lawrence put him closer to his family than he had been in Oxford, Miss.
Kathryn Nemeth-Tuttle, associate vice provost and member of the search committee for the new director, said approximately 60 candidates applied for the position.
Verbihe
"He has tremendous experience
Nemeth-Tuttle said Gaston stood out from the crowd because of his experience at a large public university.
"He has tremendous experience in recruiting, and we feel that working with employers is important for the development of the University Career and Employment Services."

in recruiting, and we feel that working with employers is important for the development of the University Career and Employment Services," Nemeth-Tuttle said.
A geographic move won't be the only change Gaston will experience. The program will be in the beginning stages of a major reorganization when he takes over.
Career Counseling and Placement Services, a part of the program, will be moving from Watkins Memorial Health Center to the Burge Union where the other program offices are located.
Dick Nelson, director of the services, said the move to the Burge Union would be more than just a physical move and would
probably involve a name change.
This will make the program much more convenient for students because everything will be in the same area, Nelson said.
"CCPS helps students decide majors and careers," Nelson said. "The next step is to look at resumes and employment which you can get at UCES."
The absence of a director has given more responsibilities to the program's three assistant directors. Ann Hartley, the interim director of University Career and Employment Services, said the added responsibilities on top of her other duties made it harder to move forward with the plans for the program.
Hartley said other changes to the program would be a name change that would unite all the offices and the addition of full time positions that will be provided with tuition enhancement money.
Gaston said he looked forward to coming to the University. He said his first step would be to assess the situation of the program and see what direction it should take.

FDA mandates bar codes on medications to reduce errors
In an attempt to reduce the amount of medication errors in hospitals, the Food and Drug Administration implemented a rule requiring bar codes on most medications.
The FDA finalized the standardization of bar codes on medication to help ensure patient safety last week. The rule is aimed
at helping hospitals to properly administer the right medication to the right patient at the correct time and dosage. The system will allow hospital staff to match bar codes on patients' identification bracelets with bar codes on medication they receive.
lation they record. As of December, approximately 125 of 5,000 hospitals in the nation were using bar code systems, according to Bridge Medical Inc., a manufacturer of bar code scanners.
The FDA is implementing the bar code system to encourage adoption of scanning systems in order to reduce hospital errors across America. According to the FDA, this system has already reduced error rates by as much as 85 percent in some hospitals, and it estimates that the rule will help prevent nearly 500,000 mistakes and transfusion errors and save $93 billion in health costs in the next 20 years.
Patrick Parker, director of
pharmacy at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Main St., said he wanted to see the FDA mandate the expiration date and lot numbers, which identify the batch or time the medication was made, in order to provide to best information. The problem with mandating this is that it is difficult to provide such a large amount of information on such a small bar code. Some manufacturers have the ability to provide expiration dates and lot numbers.
The FDA requires that the bar codes include at minimum the National Drug Code number. This 11-digit number identifies the strength, name and administration of the medication.
Manufacturers will be required to put bar codes on most medications, but hospitals will not be not required to use the bar codes because of the cost of the scanners.
According to Bridge Medical Inc., the cost of the scanners can
range from $200,000 to more than $1 million, depending on the system's complexity and size.
Lawrence Memorial Hospital already uses medications with bar codes, and it is in the process of implementing the scanner system.
"We have all the pieces in place. We just need to build it one piece at a time." Parker said.

especially a basketball game. For some, buying from scalpers is the only way to get tickets.
Currently, there is no law against scalping; when one was proposed in the Kansas Legislature in 2000, it did not pass.
But Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external relations, told the Lawrence Journal-World scalpers bothered the Athletics Department.
"We have people who are on a waiting list or who we know could use those tickets," Marchiony said.
The department's intentions seem noble, but a closer examination shows it has the same motivation as the scalpers: money. Recent publicity has outlined the department's system for allocating tickets based of donations and club memberships. Potential donors are the people Marchiony wants to "use those tickets." More accurately, the
With student and general admission tickets hard to come across, especially for major rivalry games, the availability of tickets from scalpers has long been a way to get tickets.
Marchiony said that the University might not have any legal options to combat scalping, but
the issue would be discussed in the future. But even if the University were to ban scalpers from the sidewalks outside their stadiums, scaling would still be alive and well in Lawrence.
Not much can be done to stop ticket brokers such as Ace Sports, 647 Massachusetts St., from selling tickets, often at higher prices than scalpers, and
online auction sites often sell tickets to big games.
The simple principle of supply and demand will always keep scalpers outside of athletic events. Scalpers should be allowed to stay outside of Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium. They give fans who can't get tickets their only way to get in to see the game.
PERSPECTIVE
Historical 'half-truths' shortchange women
COMMENTARY
A guest speaker in one of my classes last week described women in history textbooks. She said recognition of their involvement had been "shifted to a footnote."
PLEASE DO NOT MODIFY TEXT ON THIS BLOCK.
This metaphor for the under-representation of females in the history texts we grew up reading — and still study today — is an often-overlooked problem in American history literature.
March is the nationally recognized Women's History Month. For 30 days we pay homage to the thousands of under-appreciated women who sacrificed the limelight for less-publicized roles, without which every movement in the United States to date would have been a failure.
Sara Behunek opinion@kansan.com
For example, women in the Civil Rights movement of the 20th century have been diminished to a few token references. The Montgomery Bus Boycott and Freedom Rides of the 1950s and '60s have been attributed almost solely to male activists. Literature on the Civil Rights movement resonates with the
myth that Martin Luther King Jr. and his fellow pastors were the heart of the campaign.
In actuality, women contributed just as much as the men. They did the grunt work, the secretarial work, and the grass-roots organizing that the eloquent orators depended on, and often times took credit for.
Civil Rights activist Stokely Carmichael once said, "The ones who came out first for the movement were the women. If you follow the mass meetings, not the stuff on TV, you'd find women"
out there giving all the direction."
The textbook's dishonor is partially because of what scholars often term the "backlash." Described in Susan Faludi's book Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women, it is the idea that "the women's movement...Has proved women's own worst enemy." Faladi describes how women have, in the majority's opinion, gained equality, yet they continue to be dissatisfied.
The media blame women's newfound focus — on employment instead of on landing a man — as the reason for their unhappiness. Faludi contends it is the unrealized, true ideological equality that women never gained that keeps them disillusioned.
Until society, and especially the academic community, acknowledges women's plight, history teachers and professors will continue to contend that women have already been acknowledged enough.
"What more do you want?" they ask.
I don't want the index of my history books, column after column, replete with men's names. I want to learn history in a way that I can relate to, that I can be a part of. I want to read about the context in which the events occurred, not simply a timeline of important dates — dates that were deemed important by male scholars.
This month, look for the black-andred Rosie the Riveter posters from the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. The posted commemoration offers almost daily events to celebrate women in history and in the present. Attend a lecture. Take an active role in your education.
As historian and author Darlene Clark Hine said in an interview in this month's Ebony magazine, "We cannot consider ourselves to be truly educated and well-informed if we only know half-truths."

Suggestions could create parking paradise; overflowing lots might be problem of the past
Two weeks ago, I had a little problem. I drove to campus for a meeting in the evening and there were too many places to park.
I was trapped between clichés. On one hand, I was like a kid in a candy store. On the other, I was like a bull in a china shop.
---
The number of choices overwhelmed me. The sight of wide-open parking lots made me giddy. I bounced my car off the curb three times while eyeballing the possibilities.
COMMENTARY
But most of the time it seems parking is only getting worse. Sales of parking permits have increased from 12,154 in 2001 to approximately 14,150 in the 2004 fiscal year, according to the Parking Department. The department oversold yellow permits, mainly used by off-campus commuters, by 22 percent in Fall 2003.
The Parking Department is seeking solutions to the problems. Donna Hul-

However, consultants don't have a monopoly on good ideas; student suggestions have led to positive changes.
tine, director of parking services, said the department has hired a consultant to examine the situation and offer advice.
Hultine said that a resident of one of the Alumni Place scholarship halls approached her to complain about bar patrons using the halls' lots in the evening. The student suggested that he be allowed to write tickets if parking personnel weren't available. The idea was accepted and now several scholarship hall students work for the department as after-hours ticket writers.
The Association of University Residence Halls approached the department saying that students on Daisy Hill were angry because they were paying for residence hall permits but rarely getting a spot. This complaint led to the department endorsing the sale of cheaper Lied Center-only permits for next August.
Hultine said that building a new parking garage isn't a serious consideration because of the debt incurred from construction of the other garages.
It might be time to start thinking of ways to fix the problem that don't involve increasing parking spots.
around the stadium could be rezoned as Park and Ride lots. This would help students get to and from class faster. A new route wouldn't create more parking, but it would ease some of the stress involved in finding a spot.
A bus could travel north down Mississippi Street and into the Memorial Stadium parking lot. The farthest spaces
Here's a fun suggestion. Ban or restrict freshman parking privileges. Either choice would free up some much needed space. In addition, not having a car is good character builder; it forces people to be organized, outgoing and flexible.
Have a better idea? If it doesn't involve criminal property damage, the Parking Department is willing to listen. Call it or contact Tim Akright, the Student Senate representative on the Parking Commission.
Your idea might be the new revolution of the parking lot crisis; then every day could be as marvelous as that night two weeks ago.

CEOs show more feminine qualities
By Joshua Kendall
jkendall@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Two studies at the University of Kansas found that CEOs — chief executive officers — are slowly expressing more feminine characteristics than in the past. But the notion of a 'good leader' is still perceived as predominately masculine.
culine.
The study, inspired by the honors thesis of Elisha Waters, who graduated last semester, asked 151 students from the University 92 questions about what characteristics were inherent in a CEO.
Michael Dennis, assistant professor of communication studies, said although female and male CEOs had different characteristics, the word "professional" shrank the perpetual gap between the sexes.
CEOs are stereotypically associated with masculine labels such as independent, competitive and logical, Dennis said.
The study found that the stereotype of a good leader still sits squarely on the shoulders of men, who hold 89.1 percent of corporate office positions, according to Catalyst, a not-for-profit New York-based women's research organization.
The virtues readily linked to women are more accepted than in the past, Adrianne Kunkel, assistant professor of communication studies, said.
Labels such as sensitive, warm and accommodating are not directly correlated with power, but they show how the effeminate qualities serve better in team building and staff relations.
These qualities, though prevalent in human relation positions, are not seen as direct signs of leadership.
"The CEO is clearly a title of power," Kunkel said.

Power easily correlates with perceptions of men because they have historically been the ones who maintained these high profile jobs, Kunkel said. She said that women were making progress because stereotypes dissipated when professionalism was assumed.

sitting side by side.
For example, one group was questioned about traits inherent to females, while another was asked about successful males. Traits for women such as persistence, talkativeness and competence were similar to data from studies in the '70s.
A twist added by a follow-up study conducted by Dennis and Kunkel examined whether the
subjects viewed themselves as masculine, feminine, neither or androgynous — expressing both qualities of males and females. Out of the 220 participants in this study, 57 were perceived as feminine.
Males represented 25 percent of the group that had feminine traits. This group rated women CEOs on a more balanced scale said Dennis.
said Dennis. Dennis said a common misunderstanding was that you had to be female to be feminine. "The feminine participants didn't see any difference in gender," said Dennis.
Dennis said that people needed to release the masculinity factor because it was unnecessary to be successful.
"If we could get people to be more feminine, we might have a better world," Dennis said.

The Pentagon said as many as 2,000 U.S. troops could go to Haiti to help to curb violence that culminated Sunday in Aristide's departure.
White House officials said Aristide left willingly and that the United States aided his safe departure. But in a telephone interview with The Associated Press, Aristide said: "No. I was forced to leave."
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration insisted yesterday that Haiti's exiled president was not kidnapped or strong-armed into fleeing, despite Jean-Bertrand Aristide's claims that the U.S. military forced him to leave.

The administration did make clear to Aristide in the tumultuous hours before he left that he could not count on U.S. protection from rebels threatening to storm the presidential palace and kill him. Secretary of State Colin Powell relayed that message Saturday night to Aristide's Washington lobbyist, former U.S. Rep. Ron Dellums (D-Calif.) said an administration official speaking on condition of anonymity.
In a telephone interview with
CNN last night, Aristide said the United States on Saturday withdrew the 19 Americans assigned to bolster his security detail.
The official said Aristide asked U.S. officials whether some of the 50 Marines that President Bush had sent a week ago to protect the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince might shift to the presidential palace if the rebels drew close.
The answer was no. The response was the same on Saturday when members of Aristide's presidential guard, which included some Americans working as contract employees, asked embassy officials about the prospect of U.S. protection at the palace in the face of an expected assault.

At the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said U.S. troops would remain in Haiti for a "relatively short period." He said they would join an international force, which could include up to 5,000 troops from France, Canada and elsewhere, that would stay under replaced by a U.N. peacekeeping force.
Also, Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said 800 to 1,000 Haitians had been returned to their country in recent days after being picked up trying to flee over the water.

based on complaints, Amanda Lee, member of Sigma Kappa, said this rule would be a hassle for the sophomore members who weren't allowed to park in her chapter house's lot. The St. Louis sophomore said if she wasn't allowed to park overnight in the JRP lot then she would probably have to get rid of her car.
Hultine said implementing a rule like this would be hard on the
night, she said.
Parking is not going to get better on campus unless another garage is built or students stop bringing their cars, Johnson said.
Kicking sorority members out of the lot would not solve the problem and would likely just result in more tickets, he said.
"If I was a sorority girl, I would probably just say forget it," Johnson said. "My safety is worth a $20 ticket every now and then, and I'd just park in that lot anyway."
"If they say you can't park there in the middle of the night, then I'm going to have to hire somebody to baby-sit the parking lot all night," she said.

SENATE: Rare use of Student Senate committees causes confusion
CONTINUED FROM 1A
McKenzie said he hadn't applied or been nominated for the committee, but that Student Body President Andy Knopp had appointed him to it. Many board positions are appointed by the student body president.
Long Range Planning isn't the only board that hasn't met much this year. Leo Khayet, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, serves on the Center for Teaching Excellence Advisory Board. Khayet said the board met once this year, but he skipped the meeting.
"It's really silly to have a committee to review one place on campus," he said. "I don't even think we should have students on it. I don't know more about it than anyone else."
anyone else. The Center for Teaching Excellence is an office in Budig Hall that provides networking, faculty support and promotes the scholarship of teaching.
Khayet said he was considering forming a Senate committee to disband unnecessary boards and committees.
McKenzie said he supported all the Senate boards but that
some of them needed more accountability.
accountability "I'm all about boards because they're one of the few opportunities for students to interact with administrators," McKenzie said, "but there's no oversight on many of them."

John Kerry vowed that he would not be another "wishy-washy, mealy-mouthed" Democrat, pledging yesterday to wage a bare-knuckled campaign against President Bush as he sought a Super Tuesday sweep to lay claim to the party's nomination.
Kerry highlighted the short political career of rival John Edwards in an interview with a television station in Georgia, where advisers to both candidates say the freshman North Carolina senator poses the biggest challenge.
John Kerry promises tough 2004 campaign
"I have a stronger, longer, broader, deeper record than John Edwards." Kerry, a 19-year Senate veteran, told WALB in Albany. "John Edwards I respect — he's been in the Senate since 1999. But there is no showing that he has a stronger record than I do with respect to putting people back to work and what we need to do to show the leadership of the future."
The Associated Press
On the eve of their 10-state showdown, Edwards faced signs of political distress as Kerry's last major Democratic rival —meager polling, paltry crowds and a growing realization inside his own ranks that the end may be near.
STD: Increased awareness needed
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Sexual health is one of the priorities of Student Health Services at Watkins.
Bill E. Smith, health educator at Student Health Services, said the biggest challenge to increased awareness of STDs was to talk about the topic. One of the reasons for communication problems comes in addressing students who are sexually active at various levels, ranging from having no sexual contact to having sex frequently.
Another method is condoms, but students don't use them regularly. Smith said.
Another challenge to preventing STDs is the way people define abstinence. Smith said abstinence, defined as no sexual contact, would be the best method for preventing STDs.
According to a survey conducted by the American College Health Association of 540 KU students enrolled in the spring 2003, 18 percent of males and 26 percent of females did not use a condom during sex. The survey also showed that 48 percent of males and 55 percent of females do not use condoms during oral sex.
Buck said HPV, herpes sim
plex and molluscum contagiosum are transferrable through mouth-to-genital or hand-togenital contact, so protection is needed.
needed. Amy Applebaum, coordinator of Peer Health Education, said students tended to ask a lot of questions during sex presentations. Most students know the names of STDs but don't know the consequences of contracting one, she said.
"A lot of consequences of choices people make about sex in college affect relationships in the future." Applebaum said.
For example, people who have herpes can spread the virus even if they don't have the blister-like symptoms, Buck said. Herpes and molluscum contagiosum often reoccur after the initial treatment.
Antibiotics are very effective in curing chlamydia and fairly effective in treating herpes, depending on the extent of the infection. Doctors often use a antibiotic powder and oral medication to treat herpes, Buck said.
Cryotherapy, a treatment that freezes lesions, is used to successfully remove HPV and molluscum contagiosum lesions.

Padgett recovers, won't be starter
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
While talking to the media following Sunday's game, Kansas coach Bill Self jokingly said that the Kansas coaching staff would spit on David Padgett's ankle, cover it in some tape and it would be all better.
Whatever the trainers did do, the freshman forward's body appeared to be moving faster than expected.
Padgett was in uniform at yesterday afternoon's practice, but did not participate. The good news is that he walked onto the Allen Fieldhouse court without the assistance of crutches, and had no boot or brace on his sprained right ankle.
"He's responded to treatment much better than we originally thought he would." Self said.
Padgett left the fieldhouse following
the Oklahoma game on crutches, unable to put pressure on his right foot. On his weekly teleconference yesterday morning, Self said he thought Padgett would be on crutches for a while, but he was surprised at the

was surprised at the speed of the freshman's healing process. Even though his recovery has been rapid, Padgett, who has started the Jayawks' last eight games, will probably not play in tomorrow night's home finale against Nebraska. With that in mind, Self will need a good show from senior forward Jeff Graves, who will start in Padgett's place, as well as his reserve platoon consisting of senior forward Bryant Nash and junior forwards Moulaye Niang and Christian Moody.
Self said that he was tentatively planning on starting Bryant Nash in his final game at Allen Fieldhouse in place of freshman guard J.R. Giddens. The players with the biggest presence off the bench, however,

could be Moody and Niang. Moody has seen an unexpected amount of minutes this season, but, along with Niang, a defensive presence will be needed against a Nebraska team whose players were able to score at will in the first meeting, a 74-55 Cornhuskers' victory.

With gray baggy sweat pants and a pair of basketball shoes, the man lightly treads on the word "Jayhawks" below him, making his way to the tunnel he knows so well. This is where they screamed his name. This is where he signed autographs.

This was where he once was a hero. Arriving at the curtain that separates James Naismith Court from the lower concourses of Allen Fieldhouse, the man slowly stops. But the whistles inside are too much for his curiosity. Like a child, he peeks around the corner, watching the blue jerseys — the ones he once donned — before him. He can never go back, but he still can't get away.
back, but he isn't there. Herein lies the dilemma of Brett Ballard.
"I hear people say all the time say that they have no regrets and they'd do everything the same," Ballard said. "I don't really have any regrets, but if somebody gave me an opportunity to play one more game on that court, I would give my pinky for it — I really would. It means that much and is that special."
Brett Ballard simply can't get away.
In his first season as student assistant at Kansas, Ballard, a Hutchinson native, has learned the value of video.

Opinions differ on Kansas' NCAA seed
The seed the Kansas men's basketball team will receive from the NCAA Selection Committee for this year's NCAA tournament is anyone's guess.
ESPN.com's Joe Lunardi projects Kansas as a five seed in his latest Bracketology. CBS.sportsline.com says the Jayhawks will be a four seed according to its latest poll. Bracketography.com has Kansas listed as a six seed.
The experts are having trouble agreeing because the selection committee uses an inexact science of seeding that can confuse anyone.
seeting that can be used. The committee uses a computer ranking system of RPI (Ratings Point Index) rather than human polls. It also considers a team's strength of schedule, road and neutral court victories, record in the last 10 games, RPI top-25 and top-50 victories, and RPI bottom-200 losses.
Or, in English, the committee looks at a team's ranking, whom it has played and whom it has defeated to determine its seed.
As of now, Kansas has an RPI hovering about 20. The Jayhawks are helped by four victories against RPI top-50 teams Missouri, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Michigan State.
The Jayhawks' chances of receiving a high seed are seriously hindered because most of their losses have come toward the end of the season They are 6-6 on the road and have no victories against RPI top-25 teams.
The best Kansas can hope for is a four seed. This would qualify the Jayhawks for local placement in Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., for the sub-regions. The worst seed Kansas is looking at is a 10, which would send it to any site in the country for the first two rounds.
How the Jayhawks play in the next two games, plus the Big 12 Conference Tournament will be the determining factor.
The most likely path for Kansas, based on recent results, is defeating Nebraska at home, losing at Missouri, and winning one game in the Big 12 Conference Tournament. This would likely result in a seven or eight seed
Winning at Missouri, or twice in the Big 12 Tournament, could move the Jayhawks to a six seed, and doing both might get them a five seed.

Students lose vote on KUAC board, will advise
By Joe Bant jbant@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A new structure for the University of Kansas Athletics Corporation Board of Directors will trim the board's membership to five, and won't include a voting student.
The board met Friday and voted in support of a proposal to restructure itself, but narrowly rejected two amendments proposed by Student Body President Andy Knopp that would have given students a vote on the new board.
"I don't think we necessarily lost power," Knopp said. "I think we missed a major opportunity for a real increase."
The student body president will still be represented on the board as a non-voting member. Board members who voted against Knopp's amendment said students would still have a voice, even if they didn't have a vote.
Knopp said he was disappointed with the results.
An alumni representative won't be included on the board, either.

"The notion of having a vote or not doesn't change the ability to have an effect," said board member Mike Maddox.
The 23-member KUAC board voted to reduce its membership to five after realizing its policies were

For years, the board has operated mostly in an advisory role even though its articles of incorporation state that it has policy making authority, said Reid Holbrook, chairman of the subcommittee charged with the KUAC restructuring.

Royals choose base starter with no surprise or commotion
SURPRISE, Ariz. — The so-called bat tie between Desi Relaford and Tony Graffanino for the Kansas City Royals' starting second base job is over before the first spring training game.
Manager Tony Pena said yesterday that Relaford will start at second base this season — unless he loses the job to someone else. Relaford started at six different positions last season, including 83 games at second.
"Last year Desi Relaford was so valuable for our ball club because he could play everywhere."
"Right now, if the season started tomorrow, Desi Relaford is my starting second baseman," Pena said. "It's not written in stone. It's his job to lose. He needs to keep that position."
Graffanino, a free agent who played last season with the Chicago White Sox, hit .260 in 90 games last year and set career highs with 65 hits, 15 doubles and eight stolen bases.

Pitcher goes back to Royals after being denied a contract
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Right-hander Kris Wilson is back with the Kansas City Royals this spring, just months after the team declined to offer him a contract, which made him a free agent.
Wilson is scheduled to pitch an intramusqu game on Wednesday.
Wilson went 6-3 with a 5.33 earned run average in 29 appearances, including four starts, last season. He was eligible for arbitration, and his salary could have hit more than $1 million.
While other teams expressed interest, Wilson chose to return to Kansas City because general manager Allard Baird told him the team wanted him and thought he could help them win.
"Basically, it came down to loyalty and where I want to be," Wilson said. "I know we have an excellent chance to win a pennant and that weighed heavily in my decision. I have a seven-year relationship with the front office staff and players."
Wilson was a 1997 ninth-round pick out of Georgia Tech, where he had a football scholarship. He made his major league debut in 2000 and has a 14-9 record with a 5.32 ERA in 90 games, including 19 starts.
Wilson began last season 5-0 before a July 22 loss against Oakland.

Cardinals look to new faces to better poor relief pitching
JUPITER, Fla. — With poor relief pitching cited among the reasons the St Louis Cardinals failed in their quest for a fourth-straight Central Division title, the Cardinals hope some new faces will solidify their bullpen in the often-thankless role of middle relief.
Along with Ray King, who appeared in 80 games and went 3-4 last season at Atlanta, the Cardinals added two players from Pittsburgh — Mike Lincoln, with a 3-4 record and five saves in 36 games, and Julian Tavarez, coming off a 3-3 season with 11 saves in 64 games. Also new is rookie Evan Rust, who had 12 saves with two teams in the minor leagues.
leagues. "Those guys get their credit on the first and 15th of each month" — on payday, Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "Relievers don't really get stats, but what they do get is a lot of appreciation from their teammates, and they get respect from the other side if they are really good at their job."
"We don't get the fame, and we don't get the glory, but we get the respect of the manager, and that is more important than any kind of fame," King said.
King was among three pitchers acquired from Atlanta in an offseason trade that sent outfielders J. D. Drew and Eli Marrero to the Braves.

Bryant accuser to take stand answer questions on sex life
EAGLE, Colo. — Kobe Bryant's defense team can ask the 19-year-old woman accusing the basketball star of rape detailed questions about her sexual past when she makes her first appearance in court, the judge ruled yesterday.
The decision raises the likelihood of a long day for the woman when she testifies behind closed doors tomorrow. It will be the first time she will be in the same room with Bryant since the alleged attack last summer.
The defense subpoenaed the woman to testify, saying Bryant has a right to confront his accuser. The move prompted complaints from the prosecution and women's advocates that the defense is simply trying to "embarrass" and "humiliate" her.
Pullin' it together
Bryant, 25, had said the two had consensual sex. The Los Angeles Lakers star faces four years to life in prison, or 20 years to life on probation if convicted of felony sexual assault.
State District Judge Terry Ruckriegle, however, rejected a prosecution bid to limit defense questioning as he determines whether the woman's sexual conduct is relevant to the case and can be used against her.
The woman has told police that she had sex with someone two days before the alleged attack, while the defense has said she slept with "multiple" partners that week — including someone less than 15 hours after her encounter with Bryant.
The defense says the woman had a
"plan" to sleep with Bryant to attract the attention of an ex-boyfriend. Bryant's attorneys also say injuries found during a hospital exam of the woman could have been caused by other sexual partners.

You're interesting, intelligent and quite attractive this year. Unfortunately, you'll have to learn how to stick to a budget. Fortunately, you'll be a much stronger and wealthier person once that's done.
Somebody who's quite sensitive has a tendency to misunderstand everything you say, or so it seems. It's your enthusiasm that is scaring him or her.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 5.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is an 8.
If you have a secret love, best to leave it that way for a while. If you listen, you may learn something that will change your perspective slightly. Don't bet heavily on a whim.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 5.
You're still being tested to see what qualities you should hold most valuable. Here are the answers, just in case you haven't found them already: honor and service.
You're a sensitive, loving person — most of the time, anyway. Sometimes it's hard to pull off when the other guy's being a jerk. Count to 10, backwards.
Cancer (June 22-July 22).Today is a 9
Leo (July 23-Aug.22).Today is a 5. Your heart is pounding, and you're anxious to bolt. Distant horizons seem to be calling, but don't run off just yet. It's a good idea to have a plan and to take along some provisions.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 9.
Be there for a friend who's struggling with a strict budget. You can teach valuable money-management tricks, and your lessons sure will be appreciated.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 5.
A clash of egos may make you wonder who's in charge. A loved one or partner won't make much progress if you don't lend a hand.
TODAY'S PUZZLE
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 10.
You're a smooth operator, that's for sure. So you don't need to
worry if it looks as if you're losing this round. Looks can be deceiving, as you well know.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 5.
An older person is glad to give you all the free advice you can carry. You won't get a loan, though, so don't even ask. You're on your own financially.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is an 8.
It's wise to be extra polite and considerate. A sensitive person is about to get his or her feelings hurt. Be the consoler, not the perpetrator.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 5.
Your pet idea may not go over yet, so you'd best keep it hidden away. Your wisest course of action now is to do what you're told. Tough it out.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is an 8.
Don't go out and buy a gift that's more expensive than you can afford. Let your true love in on the secret, and you can work toward it together.

After dropping its first match against UNLV last Friday, the University of Kansas women's tennis team (1-6 overall, 0-0 Big 12 Conference) defeated Northern Arizona by a final score of 5-2. The victory at the UNLV Spring Invitational in Las Vegas was the team's first victory of the season.
The Jayhawks swept the doubles competition, winning the No.1, No.2 and No.3 positions. Seniors Courtney and Kristen
Steinbock defeated Jean Willman and Susan McClelland, 8-6. In the number two slot, senior Emily Haylock and freshman Ashley Filberth teamed together, as they ousted Ashley Dille and Christina Klokinis, 9-8.
In the third match, freshman Brittany Brown and sophomore Christine Skoda finished up the series sweep with a huge victory against Julie Schmidt and Karen Knicce, 8-6.
The victory marked the first regular season victory for Amy Hall as coach. Hall served as an assistant for the tennis team the
past six seasons at the University of Kansas. She was named coach in August of 2003, after former KU coach Kilmeny Watermann resigned from the program.
In the singles
Hall
in the singles competition, Kansas had a string of victories that included four different players knocking off Northern Arizona opponents.
No. 1 seed Emily Haylock
defeated Jean Willman in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4. Fellow senior Courtney Steinbock registered a victory for Kansas as she knocked off Christina Klokinis, 6-4, 6-1.
Freshman Brittany Brown maintained the winning trend defeating Karen Kmiec, 6-4, 7-5. The fourth singles victory came courtesy of Christine Skoda. The sophomore out of Alberta, Canada went the distance with opponent Ashley Dille as she won in three sets, 6-1, 2-6, 6-4.
Hall exhibited the same type of excitement after the victory com-
paired to when she was named coach last year.
"It is nice to get the first win and I think the players are really ready to take this momentum into the rest of our season," Hall said.
The Jayhawks finished the weekend with a loss to Boston College but are now looking forward to their upcoming matchup with Big 10 Conference opponent Iowa at the Overland Park Racquet Club in Overland Park Friday.

PADGETT: Likely to miss game

there backing us down and shooting over us."
Graves, on the other hand, will not only play in his final game in the Fieldhouse, but also his first game of the season against Nebraska. He was dressed in street clothes because of Self's disappointment in his effort in practice leading up to the game. Graves is now coming off of one of his better games of the season against Oklahoma, with four points and seven rebounds off the bench. He will need to continue to show
what Kansas fans saw in last year's NCAA Tournament.
The senior said he was more than ready to do so. Graves said he is dedicating the rest of his season to his great aunt Delores Bone, who passed away recently. He attended her funeral in Tennessee.
"The last couple of weeks, people didn't really understand what was going on and started criticizing," Graves said. "I'll be real excited to play against Nebraska."

ROBINETT: Kansas' fate debated
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Losing to Nebraska or the Big 12 Tournament opener could drop the team to a nine seed. Even worse, losing both games may drop them to a 10 seed.
CBS will never admit it, but it likes having marquee television matchups in the second round. In 1999 and 2000, Kansas received worse seeds than fans anticipated and had to play three seed Kentucky and one seed Duke in its second game. For this reason, it is unlikely Kansas will fall any further than a ten seed.
It is also possible that Kansas will be given a four seed. Not a single Big 12 team was sent to Kansas City the last time it hosted a sub-regional and attendance was abysmal. The NCAA would like nothing more than to put the
Jayhawks in Kansas City to ensure a sellout at Kemper.
The most likely route to a four seed is winning the two remaining regular season games and then running the table in the Big 12 Conference Tournament. The Jajawks might also sneak into a four seed if they lose at Missouri, as long as they win the conference tournament.
A loss at Missouri would not be judged too harshly by the committee. Winning the conference tournament would probably mean Kansas beat Texas or Oklahoma State, or maybe even both. This would give it one and two victories against the RPI top-25, which would seriously help its argument for a four seed and the coveted Kemper Arena berth.

KUAC: Chancellor gets final vote
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Maddox said that the board was not the ultimate power in Kansas athletics. Both the board and the committee were essentially advisory, he said, since the chancellor still had the authority to veto anything the board decided.
"We'd make a recommendation." Maddox said. "The chancellor is going to say yeah we're going to do that or no we're not."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway was present at Friday's meeting and said he approved of the board's decision to restructure itself, although it was important to remember the NCAA's principle of institutional control.
Hemenway also said students and other groups should not be worried about losing representation. He said the advisory committee would be consulted often and would play an important role in any decision made. Hemenway agreed that students were an important part of Kansas athletics and would be in the future.
The NCAA requires that the chancellor have responsibility over athletics, he said, and that will continue at the University even as the KUAC changes.
"The student view is going to be on my mind whenever I make athletics decisions," Hemenway said.

PERSPECTIVE: Smallest guy made impact
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
After playing for the Jayhawks from 2000-2002, one might guess Ballard would seek a more active role, especially since NCAA rules prohibit team managers and student assistants from helping coach.
But Ballard learned from his playing days.
KANSAS
"You've got to have great people behind the scenes to have a great program," Ballard said.
In that way, he is still part of the team.
Ballard are accustomed to being the little guy. In his playing days, Ballard towered over few while standing 6 feet 1 inch tall.
Ballard said this changed him. He doesn't mind being the little guy, as long as he is allowed to gain your respect. But Ballard said now he would rather blend in with his surroundings.
"Being on a basketball team is great, but I don't want people to think I'm better than anybody," Ballard said. "I hope I've never acted like that."
"I was usually the smallest guy on the court, even in high school," Ballard said. "The best thing about that for me was my parents never let me use that as an excuse."
It makes you wonder if this bigtime college basketball player gig was really the right role.
Even if it means sitting alone.

Manning led Kansas to its last National Championship in 1988, being named College Player of the year the same season.
Take Danny Manning, the current director of Student Athlete Development for Kansas. When Manning looks up at his retired No. 25 jersey at Allen Fieldhouse, he is taken back to his glory days.
Ballard transferred to Kansas from junior college and played significant minutes as a junior.
But when Manning looks up now, he sees Ballard as well.
"Brett works extremely hard," Manning said. "He's always one to do whatever it takes."
As high as the retired uniforms, Ballard holds his spot at the top of Allen Fieldhouse, video recording the games for the Jayhawks. Manning knows Ballard's value.
"Brett's up in the rafters also. He's up in the rafters every game for us," Manning said. "Every day, whether it's practice or a game, he's high above the Jayhawks, looking down on them, making sure they do the right thing."
Ballard knows it will never be the same.
He knows it when he walks through the tunnel, the one that leads from the locker room to the fieldhouse floor. The one that gave him the best feeling in the world.
"People talk about jumping out of an airplane or riding roller coasters for an adrenaline rush," Ballard said. "To me that's the same thing when I go through that tunnel."
But Ballard's face suddenly turns serious. After a flood of memories, he again realizes he can never go back. The tunnel has changed.
Ballard will tell you he doesn't mind heights.
He remembers feeling most at home at the top of the fieldhouse.
"I was a fan growing up." Ballard said, "and we would come up to games where we could never get great seats."
Which is why Ballard enjoys the conversations he has with the higher-up supporters.
"The people up at the top maybe don't have the most money, maybe can't make every game, but they still care and still want to be at the games and still get as fired up as people that are lower," Ballard said. "Obviously, I'd like to be a littler closer to the action, but I enjoy being up there."
** **
It's the little things that matter for Ballard. This is why he works the Jayhawks basketball camps in the summer — the same ones he
attended as a youngster.
Hewants to be a coach someday and believes the experiences he receives now will help him.
But it's more than just giving for Ballard. Working with younger campers, usually under 8 years of age, the camps are also a chance for him to receive. The best rewards usually coming from little things.
"Just to see that kid get satisfaction out of camp for a few days is great," Ballard said, "because some of these kids don't get big-time opportunities."
Ballard doesn't seem to realize that maybe, just maybe, those kids just did.
***
Oftentimes he wishes he had a larger part in the basketball game.
The single blue folding chair sitting in the rafters atop Allen Fieldhouse has not been an easy adjustment for Ballard.
"It's kind of like being a coach on the bench: you get nervous," Ballard said. "Obviously, I don't have much input up there because the guys really can't hear me. I can yell into camera, and they can listen to me on film."
That illustrates it best for Ballard the one who just can't stop from yelling, can't stop from being part of the team.
The one who simply can't get away.
"I was all the way at the top, then I had the best seat in the house for two years on the bench, and now I'm at the top again," Ballard said. "It's kind of funny how those things work."

Dean decision soon
By Rupal Gor rgor@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The search for a new dean of the School of Pharmacy at the University of Kansas will end soon.
The third and final candidate will complete the interviewing process Friday, said Jeff Aubé, medicinal chemistry professor and chairman of the dean search committee.
After that, the committee will meet and decide among the finalists and make a recommendation to Provost David Shulenburger.
He has been dean of the school for 10 years and will continue teaching and researching at the University.
Jack E. Fincham, dean of pharmacy, will leave his position after this academic year.
Kenneth Audus and James Kehrer are two candidates who have already gone through the interviewing process.
The last finalist, Daniel Acosta, will be at the University for his interview today through Friday. All three finalists are distinguished and accomplished people, Aubé said.

Groups want student votes
By Ron Knox
rknox@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
If you haven't been asked to register to vote this week, be surprised.
The Center for Community Outreach and the Student Legislative Awareness Board are on a mission after Campus Compact, a national student organization, released a study on student voting last month.
The study reported that college students cared more about volunteering and activism than voting. According to the report, college students vote the least of any eligible age group.
So this year, CCO, which coordinates Campus Compact at the University of Kansas, launched an ambitious project to register as many University of Kansas students as possible during Into the Streets Week which will continue through Friday.
I
Into the Streets Week, which started Monday, is a week of activities focusing on political awareness.
Volunteers are registering voters at Wescoe Beach, the Kansas Union, residence halls, and fraternity and sorority dinners.
"We're trying to reach out to a larger portion of campus," said Blake Shuart, legislative director for SLAB. "We need to reach as many people as possible."
Shuart said the money issues across campus, including tuition increases and raises in student fees, should make this November's election more important to Kansas students.
Campus Compact thought the election was so important on a national level, it initiated a voter registration competition between participating Campus Compact universities.
All students participating in Campus Compact activities nationwide will have to wear the winning university's colors to a home football game next year.
But even with voting's perceived importance, some students still don't take the time to register, Nick Sterner said while working at a registration table on Wescoe Beach.
Candra Williams, Wichita senior, registered to vote yesterday in front of Wescoe. Last year the University had a record number of students that registered to vote.
Abbv. Tillerv/Kansan
"Some people are interested. Some are not interested at all. I get the cold shoulder a lot," said Sterner, community affairs director of SLAB.
A cold, blustery day can be even more
challenging. For most of the afternoon, Sterner struggled to hold down loose papers on the registration table.

Fees will increase, buses may decrease
By Ron Knox
rknox@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
Fees for bus passes will increase next semester because of growing gaps in funding between KU on Wheels' revenue and costs.
KU on Wheels will charge $70 for a semester bus pass next year, a $5 increase over this year's rate. Yearly passes will jump to $130 dollars from $120, while park and ride passes will cost $150, up from $130.
Even with fee increases, the Student Senate-run bus service may be forced to close some routes and cut down the number of buses on others.
"We're always talking about student fees, how we don't want to raise them," said Aaron Quisenberry, faculty advisor for KU on Wheels. "We either need to scale back some things, or come up with some creative financing."
Quisenberry said the fee increases wouldn't cover all of the losses.
The financial troubles stem from bus routes that cost more to operate than they generate in revenue.
The 23rd and Inverness route, which serves The Legends apartment complex, generates close to $30,000 in revenue a year. The Legends, 4101 W. 24th Place, provides $24,000 of this revenue. Legends residents' have the option to nav for bus pass as part of their leases.
Every off-campus bus route costs $70,000 to run, said Andy Knopp, student body president, leaving the Inverness route with a $40,000 debt.
The financial gap of the route is far more than other bus routes, Knapp said.
A $15,000 debt is typical on most other bus routes, Knopp said, which is paid for by the campus fees.
To make up for the losses, KU on Wheels could consider canceling the route, said Tim Akright, transportation coordinator.
But all leases at The Legends signed for next year included free bus passes and guaranteed bus service.
Instead of canceling the route, KU on Wheels will consider cutting one bus from the route, which would impact both the KU parking department and students who use the Inverness route.
Two buses transport students to and from The Legends and other stops on the Inverness route, stopping at The Legends every half-hour. But KU on Wheels only considers one of the buses an off-campus route, because the other would still run on campus.
Canceling one of the buses would cut the number of stops at The Legends to one per hour.

University parties debate hot issues
By Patrick Cady pcady@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
THE LORD OF THE RULES
Five representatives from both the University of Kansas College Republicans and the University of Kansas Young Democrats sparred in a war of words last night by debating issues of gay marriage, the war in Iraq and the nation's current economic troubles.
Before the debates began, democrat Adrian Zink, Larned senior, said he was prepared to hear his group enlighten the campus on issues pressing the country.
Three hundred University of Kansas students sat in Budig Hall last night during Norman Yetman's interdisciplinary Brown Versus Board of Education class. Yetman is director of American studies and professor of sociology.
Amanda Kim Stairrett/Kansan
The Young Democrats wore white T-shirts with a mascot of a donkey and the majority of the republicans wore suits.
"I want to see how our group can stand up to our beliefs," Zink said.
"I know members in both of these groups," audience member Josh Crick, Liberal senior, said. "I expect an ass kicking."
The groups sat at tables separated by a podium. Audience members streamed in, prepared for the issues, and, maybe, conflict.
"When you get passions involved you don't talk coherently. Nothing intelligent happens."
Josh Steward Hays junior
The republicans expected a more civilized debate and realized the danger if passions got out of hand.
"When you get passions involved you don't talk coherently," Josh Steward, Hays junior, said. "Nothing intelligent happens."
Each party had certain issues they were looking forward to.
Tom Keating, Marysville junior, said he was particularly looking forward to debating the issue of same-sex marriage.
The debate began with Jessica Adkinson, St. Louis freshman, moderating.

Former Hallmark employee charges unlawful termination
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A former employee at Hallmark Cards Inc. has filed a lawsuit accusing the greeting card company of age discrimination.
Elizabeth Moss, Carmel, Ind., junior, and Lindsay Poe, Wichita senior, watched the debate between the University of Kansas Young Democrats and the University of Kansas College Republicans last night. "I'm impressed with the debate and how well each side is handling themselves." Moss said.
Kit Leffler/Kansar
I will not take the risk of losing you.
Mary Kay Morrow, a product manager in the seasonal cards department and employed by Hallmark for more than 20 years, filed the lawsuit in Jackson County Circuit Court in Kansas City, Mo. on Jan. 5. Hallmark then filed a motion asking the court to compel Morrow to arbitrate her claims.
Morrow, who was 50 when she was fired last April, had worked at the Kansas City-based company for about 20 years, her lawyers said. Her last position was as a product manager in the seasonal cards department.
"We believe that Hallmark has violated the Missouri Human Rights Act by engaging in a pattern and practice of systemic age discrimination," said Mark A. Jess, one of Morrow's lawyers.
Hallmark spokeswoman Julie O'Dell said Morrow's accusations were unfounded.
"We don't believe her claim has any merit." O'Dell said.
She said the company could not comment on the case further because it was still pending.

Ear-splitting technology protects soldiers, civilians
The great debate
NEW YORK — U.S. soldiers in Iraq have new gear for dispersing hostile crowds and warding off potential enemy combatants. It blasts ears splitting noise in a directed beam.
The equipment, called a Long Range Acoustic Device, or LRAD, is a so-called "non-lethal weapon" developed to keep operators of small boats from approaching U.S. warships.
The Army and Marines have added this auditory barrage dispenser to their
arms ensembles. Troops in Fallujah, a center of insurgency west of Baghdad, and other areas of central Iraq often deal with crowds in which enemies intermingle with civilians.
The developer of the LRAD, American Technology Corp. of San Diego, recently got a $1.1 million contract from the U.S. Marine Corps to buy the gadgets for units deployed to Iraq. The Army also sent LRADs to Iraq to test on vehicles.
Carl Gruenler, vice president of military and government operations for.
American Technology Corp., said LRADs are "in the beginnings of being used in Baghdad," though he said he lacked "initial feedback" on how they are working.
Dubbed "The Sound of Force Protection" in a company brochure, the devices can broadcast sound files containing warning messages. Or they can be used with electronic translating devices for what amounts to "narrowcasting."

Play explores spiritual themes

Playing the part of Lorriane in the play Thirst, Wendy Lynn Casebier, Topeka senior, and Carter R. Waite as Aaron Cable, Falmouth, Maine freshman, discussed the effects the dust bowl had on the people in the region during the dress rehearsal in the William Jorge Memorial Theatre in Murphy Hall on Monday night.
Theatregoers can drink in subtle religious themes in an experimental new play at the University of Kansas.
Thirst, a play written by Kevin Mayer, opened at the William Inge Memorial Theatre in Murphy Hall last night.
Unlike the graphic religious messages of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, Thirst takes a more passive approach to spiritual reflection, according to director Danon Park.
"There's lots of spiritual issues," Park said. "But it doesn't beat you over the head."

In its natural state, the play is a work of realism, but Park uses expressionism to convey his interpretation.

Students who buy soup today in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall will be filling more stomachs than just their own.
The Center for Community Outreach will be selling the bowls of soup this afternoon for its annual Empty Bowls Project.
The project is a part of the center's Into the Streets Week. The proceeds made from the bowls, which will be sold from 11:00 a.m. to 1 p.m., will go to the Jubilee Café to help feed the homeless.
The bowls for the project were supplied by Sun Fire Ceramics, 1002 New Hampshire St. Volunteers paid $8, and decorated the bowls.

Katie Weil, Golden Valley, Minn., sophomore, said she heard about the project through the Blue Prints Leadership Conference. She said part of leadership was helping people out.

"It feels good to help others because it's my hope that if I ever needed help in the future, they would help me,"she said.

Kaelyn Fox, Pittsburg senior and co-director of the Center for Community Outreach, said the program was able to raise money in two ways: by selling the bowls at Sun Fire Ceramics to students for them to paint and by the profits from today's soup sale.
She said the program usually makes about $500 for the Jubilee Café.
"In past years we've gotten anywhere between 75 and 100 bowls," she said. "We'll sell all of them that we have."
The Center for Community Outreach is also holding other events this week to benefit the Jubilee Café, including serving food at the First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St., on Friday morning and hosting a sleepout for homelessness in Burcham Park, located northeast of 2nd and Indiana Streets, on Friday night.

New uniforms good; changing school colors bad
Marching-band uniform drive a great success
Here's to taking the initiative.
The KU Marching Band started a program last November, "Feather the Flock," to raise $150,000 for new uniforms.
The initiative was crucial. The current uniforms have been in use since 1978 and

Some had even been patched together with duct tape, while parts of multiple uniforms were used to piece together one full uniform.

reached its goal last week, but said it would continue to raise money through the end of the month. The extra money will be used for stipends to lower the price of band membership. The total raised so far is just more than $166,000.
It worked, and the marching band should be in its new uniforms in this fall's football season.
The marching band, which reached the goal in just three months, did have some help in its push. The Lawrence JournalWorld, Topeka Jayhawks Club, KU Athletics, The KU School of Fine Arts and KU Endowment Association all helped in the effort to raise the money. In addition to setting up the program, these organizations sent letters to alumni across the state asking for donations.
The marching band
Without this money, the band wouldn't have been limited to 180 members. It currently is at 160, but the 300 uniforms it can now afford will allow it room to expand.
The band is an important part of football games, and since the uniforms are a big part of being in the band, they need to be up to standard.
In a survey in the Journal-World and a KU Alumni Association newsletter, the band's entrance onto the field was voted most memorable band moment for former KU band members.
"Your heart is pounding and you are streaming with nervous energy," former band member Shannon Morford said in a Journal-World article.
Imagine how different the memory would be for band members, and crowds alike, if a uniform, pieced with duct tape, ripped in the wind.

Century old tradition: Kansas is crimson and blue
---
When the University of Kansas was founded in 1864, the Board of Regents decided to adopt the University of Michigan's maize and blue as its official colors.
And so it was. In 1896, the crimson and blue that represent the University today were born.
About this time, a majority of Kansas professors were Yale University graduates. To avoid being outdone by their Ivy League rivals, they insisted that Yale-blue be incorporated into the official colors as well.
Apparently, going with past tradition of borrowing colors from other universities, Kansas decided to give Baylor its due.
In the early 1890s, however, the school adopted Harvard University's crimson as an official color to honor John J. McCook, who was a major contributor to Kansas' new athletic field and a Harvard graduate.
But recently, the University seems to be making an effort to change the school colors for the first time in 108 years.
Although adding a new color to the band uniforms doesn't necessarily mean that the school has adopted black as an official color, it still leaves room for debate as to whether the black is pounc-
OUR VIEW
The University's crimson and blue tradition dates back to 1896. Change this tradition, and await a revolution. Alumni and students want crimson and blue.
Look no further than the Marching Jayhawks' new band uniforms for evidence of this. They still boast the classic crimson and blue, but the pants, hat and portions of the shirt are black.
ing on a long-proud crimson and blue tradition.
Defending the change, Jim Hudson director of the marching band, said that the new uniforms are a reflection of different uniforms that the band has worn over the past decades, so it's really nothing new.
The majority opinion, however, seems to be that the black in the uniform is out of place. Through Friday on the Lawrence Journal-World's Web site, 69 people had posted comments concerning the new uniforms. Fifty-four of these comments were negative.
As time goes on, the University community will undoubtedly become accustomed to the black in the uniforms. If something hangs around long enough, it becomes accepted; that's just the way it is.
It seems the University knows this all too well.

Cellular phones bad for health, manners
PERSPECTIVE
Many people assume I am nuts. They have asked: "How could you not love this great tool?"
I don't own a cellular phone.
Cell phones are not a great tool; they are invasive beasts.
The ring of the cell phone, like the music at a fraternity party, is overplayed and obnoxious. Cell phones in class, at restaurants and in bathrooms—has cell phone use gone too far? Get rid of the beast. You are slave to a phone.
COMMENTARY
The arguments for the cell phone are practicality and inexpensive local and long-distance calls. The arguments are
Eighty-eight percent of students at the University of Kansas own a cell phone, said Dinesh Gurung, owner of Mobile Communications Centre, 1610 W.23rd St. His estimates, based on store records, would mean out of 27,772 total students attending the University, only 3,332 students don't own a cell phone. And the trend is growing in a younger market.
"Dad and mom comes in and buys their 12-year-old daughter a cell phone." Gurung said.

flawed.
A basic landline phone without long distance can cost about $20 per month. Then, to call long distance, people can buy long distance calling cards from places such as Sam's Wholesale Club or Wal-Mart for 3.5 cents per minute. The bill has no add-ons. The cost is clear to the consumer.
Another cell phone catch: the contract. Ah, yes, the contract. These contracts can last about one to two years; if users want to get out of their contract early, there's a penalty fee. This penalty can range from $150 to $200, depending on the company that the subscriber uses.
The typical cell phone bill can run about $40 per month. But the bill has add-ons: text messaging, voicemail, Internet service, ring downloads and taxes. The bill becomes $100.
Practicality. People are willing to spend close to $20 more on phone bills, just so they can be talking to people. And talking to people, they do. Anywhere, in any way, people are talking; forgetting courtesy. Cell phone users are talking on their phones in libraries, during movies in the theater, even during class occasionally. Should practicality outweigh politeness?
In the study, rats were exposed to low levels of microwave radiation, the same amount cell phone users are exposed to when using their cell phones.
Cell phones can also pose a medical risk.
Lund University Hospital in Lund, Sweden, did a study and found cell phone users have an increased risk of brain damage, The Michigan Daily reported.
The rats were exposed to three different trials, one trial of .002 watts per kilogram, one of .0024 watts per kilogram and one of .02 watts per kilogram. The higher the wattage, the more damage occurred in the rats.
According to the study, the rats showed damage in the hippocampus and basal ganglia. The hippocampus particularly controls memory. The potential risk: memory loss. The basal ganglia are the parts of the brain that control motor skills. If that is damaged, a person might have the motor skills similar to a Parkinson's Disease patient.
The Federal Communications Commission allows cell phone exposure of 1.6 watts per kilogram. The average cell emits, according to a Finnish study, is 1.12 watts per kilogram.
medicat risk, high bills and loss of morals: Is this really what you want to do to your 12-year old, let alone yourself?
Don't use a cell phone. The cell phone is a beast.

Fund-raising forfather
By Samia Khan skhan@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Jim Bridges remember being called into the principal's office when he was in the first grade and wondering what he'd done wrong.
He walked in and saw his sister crying uncontrollably. His mother, who was also there, told him what had happened. Bridges' father, Robert Huffman, had just died of Amvotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, is a motor neuron disease without a cure. It results in gradual paralysis and death three to five years after diagnosis. Bridges remembers his father slowly losing control of his muscles. The worst part is knowing his father could think clearly but couldn't communicate, he said.
Now Bridges, Oklahoma City sophomore, has helped raise more than $11,000 for the disease. He is co-philanthropy chairman
for his fraternity, Phi Delta Theta. This year he organized an auction for Dad's Day that raised $3,000.
His biggest accomplishment was the Robert Huffman Basketball Bash, a fundraising basketball tournament Feb. 13 to 15. The tournament was a big event for the fraternity in past decades after a member of the fraternity was diagnosed with ALS in 1974.
Bridges wanted to rebuild the tournament's importance to honor his father and raise more money. Bridges nearly tripled the money raised from last year's tournament.
A letter-writing campaign, in conjunction with the tournament, solicited sponsors and donations, raising $8,000. Bridge and his fraternity will combine the money from this year's fundraisers with money raised last year and present a check to George Brett at a charity golf tournament on May 24. The money will be donated to the ALS Association of Kansas City and
used for research and nurses' salaries. Bridges said he hoped to write the check for $18,000.
After deciding he was coming to the University of Kansas and joining Phi Delta Theta, Bridges discovered ALS was the fraternity's philanthropy. Lou Gehrig was a member of Phi Delta Theta at Columbia University. This made him more sure of his decision.

His fraternity brothers helped him send more than 1,000 letters to fraternity alumni. Each member of the house sent two letters to their family and friends. Bridges raised more than $3,000 just from the letters sent to his personal friends and relatives in Oklahoma.
His best friend from high school, Kylee Belflower, Oklahoma City sophomore, helped him set up the tournament and send letters. She said it was easy to get so much support and money because everyone who knew Bridges respected him and wanted to help.
"He's such a humble person,"
Jim Bridges, Oklahoma City sophomore, displayed a banner that was used to promote a basketball charity for Phi Delta Theta. The event raised over $11,000 to help fight Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, often called Lou Gehrig's disease.
Brent Carter/Kansan
Bellflower said. "He didn't even want to tell anyone how much money he raised."
For years he wasn't able to openly talk about his father's death. He said people had to pry the information out. Now he is open, and uses it as motivation to help people understand the disease.
Bridges'mother, Kathy, said that her son could have taken a lot of
bad turns after his father's death,
but instead it made him stronger.
She said her son's hard work to raise money was an example of how the struggle built his character.
"It's one of those major mommy moments when I'm just so proud of him," she said.
After the tournament, the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, who won the women's division.
visited Bridges at the bar where he works. They wore the tournament T-shirts with his father's name on the back and brought the championship trophy. The women drank to his father's memory to the song "We are the Champions."
"He would have wanted it that way," Bridges said.

VOTES: Feelings mixed on importance of voting involvement
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Next to the table, Katherine Whitson, Freshman Leadership Council member, yelled at people passing by as they hustled from class to class.
"Wanna register to vote?" she said.
A woman adjusted her back
pack and glanced around.
"Who, me? Oh, no. No thanks," she said.
Another student turned Whitson down just as quickly. Unfazed, she yelled at every student who walked by.
"She's a go-getter," Sterner said.
Then Liane Eisenbart, Ottawa
sophomore, walked up to the table and grabbed a pen.
Eisenbart had been registered to vote in New Mexico, where she previously lived, but needed to register in Lawrence, she said.
"I like to vote," she said. "I think I have a right to complain."
After Eisenbart, Bret Winblad
approached the table
"Sebelius is a Democrat, right?" Winblad said, grabbing for the pen and registration form.
The Winfield junior didn't care about voting in high school.
He assumed Kansas voters always voted Republican—until Kathleen Sebelius won the governorship in 2002.
Then Winblad noticed his tuition increasing and Sebelius enacting policies he didn't agree with.
"It's different now that I'm in college," he said. "It affects me a lot more now."
Which is exactly why students should vote, Whitson said.
other without involving politics, Whitson said wanted to register voters because a surge of youth voters could drastically affect the issues politicians talk about.
Although she said volunteering was important because it allowed people to help each
"We have one of the lowest voter turnouts in the world," Whitson said. "If every college student voted, we would decide elections."

PENGUINS BY DOUG LANG
TOY LAND
I don't think dolls these days give a positive image for girls to strive for.
TOYLAND
They are dressed so scandals. I don't feel that's appropriate.
Plus this one is advertised with "read lying action", just pull the string.
of course I would never cheat, on your knees.
CAPTAIN RIBMAN BY SPRENGELMEYER AND DAVIS
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE TROUBLE IN HAITI?
FIRST ON YOU, THEY HAVE AN UNFORTUNATE NAME.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE TROUBLE IN HAITI?
FIRST OFF, THEY HAVE AN IMPORTANT NAME.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?
IT IS VERY NEGATIVE.
HOW SO?
WHY CAN'T THEY CHANGE THEIR NAME TO SOMETHING LIKE LOVE-Y OR HAPPYLAND OR SMOOTCHBEKISTAN?
HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 3).
Once you've formed a strong bond with a person who inspires you to great things, the work phase begins. Make plans and enjoy some romance, it's a powerful combination.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8.
Get together with a playmate in private and share some of the things that are bothering you. They'll still be there, but they'll look much more insignificant.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6.
Friends are a great source of comfort, but somebody who often rubs you the wrong way may be useful now. Heed this person's advice on love or money.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a7.
You're about to get involved in an interesting game. It won't bring in much money yet, but it should be a lot of fun. You have natural talent.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
A new assignment could bring in extra money, if you're up to the challenge. You might as well. It looks profitable, even if it isn't much fun.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8.
If you notice that someone dear to you is quiet or grumpy, apologize. You don't even have to know what you did; it's a good way to open the conversation. Then, listen.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a7.
If at first you don't succeed, go back to the drawing board. There's a way to increase your profits, and you can find it. Be persistent and dig deep.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
Your work could interfere with your social life. There isn't a way to be in two places at the same time, so delegate something.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
Take it slow and easy for the next few days. An important person can put in a good word for you
and that could be all it takes. Be patient.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 7.
Once you've paid all the bills, you'll know how much you can afford to spend on fixing up your place. Do what needs to be done in a hurry so that you can play later tonight.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is a 7.
A thoughtful little gift would bring a smile to a loved one's face. This isn't something you have to do, but it sure would be nice of you, and very much appreciated.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
If you're not making much progress, ask your partner for advice. You need help from a person who's good at building the projects you design.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
Money is just a concept. It can be created or destroyed. Instead of doing the latter by spending wastefully, get back to work.

FEES: Students will pay more for bus services
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
"Fewer people would want to ride it," said Legends resident Dianne Williams, Burlington junior. "I know I couldn't wait for an hour."
If fewer people ride the bus, than more will drive—and try to park—on campus.
"That scares me," said Donna Hultine, parking director. "It would be a challenge because people wouldn't have another option."
The Legends is a fairly young apartment complex, with a rapidly growing population, said Martha Cusick, Legends manager.
Last year, The Legends sold only 200 leases.
The increase in residency at the complex could lead to an increase in ridership that would help support the struggling bus route.
This year, Cusick said, the complex has sold 522 leases for next fall - and it's only March.
That, coupled with another $24,000 payment Cusick will make to KU on Wheels for bus passes for residents, might stave off the route's closure — and increased cost for students in the future.

City strip malls problematic for commission

The Lawrence City Commission approved a plan last night to halt the growth of strip malls in Lawrence.
The plan excluded Massachusetts Street.

The plan is a revised version of
Eight strip malls exist in Lawrence, and seven of them create traffic problems, the commissioners said.

Because of this, commissioners want to move new businesses into intersection corners, or

The planning commission will look at ways to improve street access designs for existing strip malls.
The revised draft stated that traffic conditions on 23rd Street need to be improved.
If the traffic situation on 23rd Street does not improve, shoppers may begin to shop elsewhere, according to the draft.
Commissioners are looking to finance road improvements, said Dave Corliss, assistant city manager.
The eight strip malls in
Lawrence are located at North Second Street, North Third Street, South Iowa Street, West 23rd Street, East 23rd Street, two on West Sixth Street, West Ninth Street and Massachusetts Street.

DEAN: Final dean candidate visited this week
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The committee will meet after Acosta's interview, but Aubé said he did not know the exact date the dean would be announced.
"I want us to be able to take all the time we need." Aubé said. "But I do anticipate that we are going to act very quickly."
Aubé said he wanted the dean to continue research education.
The committee is looking for a person who has a vision of the future and commitment to the school, he said.
The dean should represent the school both within the University and in higher administration, Aubé said.
He would also like the dean to work with faculty and maintain the professional pharmacy program.
"Before I was on the committee,I didn't know everything that was involved in searching for a dean. It's intense."
Nicolette Raya Pharmacy student from Hutchinson
The pharmacy school recently ranked second in securing funding for research from the National Institutes of Health.
The school should have someone who can maintain and foster that excellence in research, said Mary L. Michaelis, member of the search committee.
Michaelis, who is also a professor in pharmacology and toxicology, said the dean should have support for the faculty, awareness of programs and good interactions with the students.
A student on the search committee, Nicolette Raya, said it was nice to see how the finalists would put their ideas into action.
"Before I was on the committee, I didn't know everything that was involved in searching for a dean," said Raya, pharmacy student from Hutchinson. "It's intense."
Aubé said he was ready to make a decision as well.
Raya said she was looking forward to meeting as a committee to make the decision.
"We're dancing as fast as we can," he said.
DEBATE: Topics of gay marriage and Iraq war anger the audience
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The republicans began by affirming the value of Bush's proposed amendment of the constitution that would strictly classify marriage between a man and a woman.
The democrats responded with Tom Keating likening the republicans' response to the issue as an "extremist regime."
The issue brought intense questions from the audience.
"I was surprised at some of the anger from the audience." Amy Lindstrom, Wichita senior said. "I was surprised at the emotion they showed."
The war with Iraq also sparked intensity.
The republicans held steadfastly that Bush was right in sending troops over and the information that he had concerning weapons of mass destruction was correct.
The Democrats believed that the former policy of containment was correct.
An audience member then asked both parties what the next administration should do to keep a system of checks and balances to keep another situation like Iraq occurring.
After each group responded, and the last issues came and passed, the audience was left wanting more.
"I felt like it could have gone on a lot longer," Lindstrom said.

Kansas strikes for redemption against Nebraska
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
One loss avenged, one to go.
One loss avenged, and Okaiden The Kansas men's basketball team has already avenged a road loss to Iowa State by outlasting the Cyclones in their second meeting, and tonight, the Jayhawks will have a similar opportunity against Nehaska.
In the teams' last meeting on Feb. 15 in Lincoln, Neb., the Cornhuskers were hotter than usual from the field.
As a team, Nebraska shot 63 percent in the second half, and 56.3 percent for the game. Nebraska (16-9 overall, 6-8 Big 12 Conference) must bring that same shooting proficiency to Allen Fieldhouse, as they are still holding on to slim hopes of an NCAA Tournament berth, but will more than likely need to win their final two regular season games.
For the Jayhawks (18-7, 10-4), consistency is the magic word. Kansas played one of its best games as a team in Sunday's 70-58 victory over Oklahoma, but the players want to show they can perform like that tonight as well.
that will mean everyone on the team needs to shove personal goals aside for awhile.
"We can go very far," junior guard Aaron Miles said. "Not worrying about playing time, not worrying about scoring, not worrying about this and that. Just thinking about the overall success of this team, I think we can definitely win a National Championship."
Not to get too far ahead of themselves, the Jayhawks need to carry two successful performances over from Sunday's win into tonight's challenge — defense and bench play.
Defensively, the Jayhawks were superb against the Sooners.
Kansas crushed Oklahoma in rebounding, 39-25, had seven steals, six blocked shots and forced 15 turnovers. The result was an abnormal amount of fast-break points, which allowed the Jayhawks to do what they do best—run.
"Just thinking about the overall success of this team, I think we can definitely win a National Championship."
Aaron Miles Junior guard
"The key was never to stop running," junior forward Wayne Simien said after Sunday's game. "OU tried to pressure us, but we got some clean rebounds, and that really got us going."
The Jayhawks will need junior guard Mike Lee to provide the spark he gave on Sunday.

Fencing club prepares to duel
By Laura Francoviglia
lffrancoviglia@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
On a spring break trip to New York last year, DeVee Moser and Deborah Dalton attempted to dismantle the curtain rods at their hotel to use for a fencing bout.
snorts commentary
It's just one example of what Moser, president of the KU Fencing Club, calls an eccentric and proud group.
Other times when they are without their foils, the club members recreate their fencing tools by using pillows or rolled up bulletins in the back row of a church.
"Fencers have a very,very large imagi
nation and an overdeveloped sense of humor," said Moser, Gardner sophomore.
In between bouts at the Student Recreation Fitness Center, the KU fencers attempt to top each other with bad puns and bad jokes. For the members of KUFC, fencing is a social life. Moser said that although fencing is a one-on-one sport, they all got along well, without any animosity toward each other.
The club members relax and don't take each other seriously, but when they practice their sport, they are dedicated.
"I try to be the best fencer I can be," said Deborah Dalton, Topeka junior.
The club practices for two hours, three nights per week at the recreation center, and they often hang out before and after practice.
The club members host dinners where they watch movies noted for their fencing scenes such as Princess Bride and Monty Python and tell fencing stories or meet at local hangouts like Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St.
When new members join the club, Moser said they tell her they've always wanted to do this. She said the movie Princess Bride is often cited as a source of inspiration for joining the club. Though the movie is an excellent example of "classical fencing,"
Moser said the KUFC focused on the Olympic style. The KUFC uses foils, eppees and sabers in practice and in tournaments.
Moser said fencing was an excellent way to stay in shape. She said fencing increases flexibility, speed and endurance.
"Fencing is for any body, shape, size or condition." Moser said.
She said she's even seen seen a 70- year-old win in a tournament. Fencing does not require as much endurance as basketball, but technique is necessary to win in competition, Moser said.

To callers: no dissing on Padgett
"I got a four-page paper to write, but I would rather think of insults about David Padgett." — March 2
Almost everyone remembers their parents giving them this priceless piece of advice as a kid: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."
Then you get older and realize it's a bunch of crap, once insults get worse than "wijener" or "poopy-head."
To that end, I can sympathize with David Padgett.
Words do hurt. Some people have too much pride to show it on the outside, but to some degree, deep, deep, down inside, verbal barbs strike a nerve. It's inevitable.
There's a notion on campus that most people who pick up the Kansan everyday only do the crossword and read the Free For All. So then most people should know what's been in the Sports Free For All the past couple weeks. Suddenly, Padgett, the highly-touted freshman forward, sounds like every Kansas fan's favorite spiky-haired, Dave Matthews-loving seven-foot whipping boy.
Last spring, there was a stretch when my name popped up in the Sports Free For All seven times in one week regarding my columns. I've been there, David
Sure, my opinions are a little strong at times. But I was ready for backlash. What did Padgett ever do to you?
He's a good guy, not the type of guy who would ever insult your mama or kick your dog.
The idea of the Free For All is great. But there's nothing worse than someone calling in to just slam on another person anonymously. It's the act of faceless cowards.
"I am watching the KU/Iowa State game and I think that David Padgett is the worst player to ever play at the University of Kansas. David Padgett sucks." - Feb. 2
The thing is, the same people who call in are the ones who, before Padgett even set foot on campus, made him out to be something he has not yet become: Nick Collison.
For my money, Nick Collison is the greatest player to ever play basketball at Kansas. He was a machine. He was the man. He made basketball look so easy. It wasn't just because he was a model of consistency, or his 24 points and 23 rebounds against Texas last year or his All-American performances in last March's NCAA Tournament. It's the on-court memories coupled with the fact that he was a helluva guy off the court. When Kansas fans heard about Padgett, another tall white kid who was, like Collison, a coach's son, he was already made a legend while still in high school.
Kansas fans need perspective. In Collison's freshman year, he played on a team that lost 10 games and was an eight-seed in

Coaches recognize Washington's influence
By Jonathan Kealing
jkealing@kansan.com
Kansas writerwriter
Washington took 31 of those years with her when she retired on Friday Yesterday, the Big 12 conference call was most coaches' first chance to reflect on their experiences with Washington.
Combined, the Big 12 Conference women's basketball coaches have 181 years of experience.
They all had fond memories and kind words for Kansas' former women's basketball coach Marian Washington.
Texas coach Jody Conradt has been at Texas for 27 years and coached 34 years overall. She's the only Big 12 coach who
Conradt said both coaches could have made different choices other than coaching.
"We could have chosen to take the easier route," Conradt said. "Marian is one of the really good people in our profession."
has more experience than Washington.
Washington
Conradt is now the dean of Big 12 women's coaches, with more time at the same school than anyone.
Another long-timer, Colorado coach Ceal Barry, remembered some of Washington's contributions to the Big 12 and

Ceal Barry
some of the big names she coached.
"I think Marian Washington was the Big Eight," Barry said. "She recruited some of the best players to put on a uniform in the Big Eight."
Included on that list would be All-
Americans Angela Aycock, Tamecke Dixon and current interim head coach Lynette Woodard. Each player remains in the top 10 among Kansas' all-time leading scorers.
Barry, who recently won her 500th game as a coach, said that she thought that having great administrative support for women's athletics probably allowed Washington to retire.
One coach who has not been around nearly as long as Washington, is Missouri coindy Cindy Stein.
According to Barry, teams cannot hope to compete without that support in the Big 12.
Stein, on her fifth year at Missouri seven when including her years at Empo-

ria State — attributed a lot of the growth in women's basketball to Washington and her contemporaries.
Like all the other coaches, though, Stein claimed to have mixed feelings about Washington's departure.
Stein summed up Washington's character when she spoke of her first trip to a Big 12 coaches meeting.
"When I first came into the league, Marian was one of the coaches who made me feel most welcome," she said. '

No, your tuition money does not go to the cheese that the basketball team uses. The millions of dollars in donated revenue and money from KU basketball goes towards their cheese.

Denver Bronco Ed McCaffrey retires after 13 NFL seasons
DENVER—Ed McCaffrey, one of John Elway's primary targets on two Denver Super Bowl winners, retired yesterday after 13 NFL seasons.
McCaffrey, 35, missed most of last season after two concussions in two weeks.
He broke his leg in the first game of 2001, but returned the next season to catch 69 passes for 903 yards.
The Broncos also told McCaffrey his $4.5 million base salary will be cut next season to help get under the salary cap.
The Broncos acquired McCaffrey from San Francisco in 1995 as an unrestricted free agent and began his career with the New York Giants in 1991.
He was a starter on the Broncos 1998 and 1999 Super Bowl teams. He also earned a Super Bowl ring with the 49ers in 1995.

Royals veteran vies for pitching spot
The Associated Press
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Right-hander Rudy Seanez knows he can't afford to have a bad outing in spring training if he is to have any chance of making the Kansas City Royals this season.
The Royals have 36 pitchers in camp and Seanez, a nine-year veteran, is trying to earn a bullpen spot. But the team has no more than two bullpen vacancies and one of those could go to a left-hander.
"I'm one of those long, long shots," Seanez said. "I've been around long enough to know."
Seanez, who retired all three batters
Seanez has faced long odds before.
"It was the same thing with the Braves in 1998," Seanez said. "They knew what they had in the bullpen. I pitched well and into the Braves' bullpen and into a setup role."
Seanez pitched for the Royals' Class AAA Omahz club in 1997, going 2-5 with a 6.51 ERA in 28 appearances and was released after the season. The Braves picked him as a minor league free agent and he had two of his best seasons
with Atlanta, a 10-2 record with five saves in 90 relief appearances in 1998-99.
He was with four clubs last year, including going 0-1 with a 6.23 ERA with Boston. He also was with Red Sox, Texas Rangers and Chicago Cubs minor league teams last season.
"I was there for six or seven weeks and made only nine appearances," Seanez said. "My pitching suffered."
Seanez began last season with the Rangers and in the opening exhibition game, he was hit in the head by a throw.
"It was a double play ball and I was covering first and I lost it for a split-
second in the outfield signs," Seanez said. "It tipped off my glove and hit me just above my eyebrow. If it had hit me flush, I probably wouldn't be here right now. There would have been a good chance it would have crushed the (eye) socket."
He was taken to the hospital for X-rays, but was back pitching in a few days.
Seanez, 35, realizes time is no longer on his side.
"There are no guarantees, no promises," Seanez said. "I don't even know if I'm on their insurance list. All I can do is pitch well enough to impress somebody. The main thing is I have to pitch well. I'm not a young guy anymore."
Rams re-sign defensive end for $2 million
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Adam Timmerman's five-year contract with the St. Louis Rams, finalized yesterday, could mean the end of defensive end Grant Wistrom's stay with the team.
Those two were the Rams' top free agents, and the team could conceivably retain both with about $4.5 million remaining under the salary cap. But Wistrom, the team's first-round pick in 1998, is believed to be leaning towards signing with the Kansas City Chiefs and reuniting with coach Dick Vermeil.
Also yesterday, the Rams met with former Michigan quarterback Drew Henson, although he did not work out with the team. Henson is scheduled to visit the Cleveland Browns' training facility today.
Henson, 24, was drafted in the sixth round last year by the Houston Texans, who are trying to work out a trade before the April 24 draft. If no deal is done by the draft, Henson can be selected by any team.
Timmerman and the Rams came to an agreement two days before he was to have become an unrestricted free agent. He also signed a five-year free agent deal with the Rams in 1999 after leaving the Packers, and had not been anxious to test the market.
But until this week, he'd been concerned about the lack of interest from the team. So he told his agent, Mark Bartelstein, to try to push things along.
"I told Mark, I really want to get the thing done so it doesn't come down to free agency, taking trips and doing all that stuff." Timmerman said. "We were close and we kind of met in the middle
and it worked out great."
Rams coaches said they were happy to have him back.
"I think everybody knows or can appreciate how important Adam has been in the last five years to us offensively," coach Mike Martz said. "It's just a great moment for all of us."
It's a great moment for Timmerman's wife, Jana, too. The deal means she can go ahead with ordering new kitchen countertops instead of pondering a move.
"It's unbelievable," Jana Timmerman said. "We're on our third contract, and with two teams."
Adam Timmerman, 32, has played nine NFL seasons and gone to two Pro Bowls. He has been a durable presence on the line, starting all 16 regular-season games in four of his five seasons in St. Louis.
Rams coaches said he's gotten better during that time.
"I think he played at a Pro Bowl level and didn't go to the Pro Bowl," offensive line coach John Matsko said. "He pulled extremely well — he's got to be one of the top pullers in the league — and he's a phenomenal pass protector."
Although terms were not disclosed, Timmerman said the contract was worth more than $2 million a year. It includes a signing bonus of about $6 million. Still, the deal is slightly less than his last contract with the Rams for $18 million over five seasons.
"We wanted to be here so bad we didn't want it to come down free agency," Timmerman said. "Money was never a huge issue for us, just the effort that was made on the part of the Rams."

The Giants' Rich Aurilia, left, and Barry Bonds congratulated each other after they each scored on a double by Edgardo Alfonzo in the fourthinning during game two of the National League Division Series at Pacific Bell Park on Wednesday, October 1, 2003.
The Associated Press
Barry Bonds walked silently through the San Francisco Giants' bustling clubhouse. Asked about a report that he had received steroids and human growth hormone from a nutritional supplements lab implicated in a drug-distribution ring, Bonds softly replied: "Get out of my locker."
Bonds,others handed steroids
mylocker Similar scenes were repeated yesterday at other major league teams' sites. From Florida to Arizona, the focus at spring training was on steroids again.
Citing information it said was given to federal investigators, the San Francisco Chronicle reported yesterday that Bonds was given the substances by his personal trainer who got them from the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative.
Trainer Greg Anderson gave the players the drugs from BALCO, according to information given to the government and shared with the newspaper. The report did not say how federal investigators received the information.
According to the newspaper, investigators also were told that steroids were given to New York Yankees stars Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield, three other major leaguers and one NFL player.
received the information Bonds, Giambi and Sheffield have repeatedly denied using
steroids, and last week Bonds said baseball could "test me every day if they choose to."
day if they choose to test all testified last year before the grand jury that indicted Anderson and three others in the alleged steroid-distribution ring.
THG, one of the steroids in the investigation, was not made illegal until recent months, and while the possession and sale of human growth hormone without a prescription is a crime, its personal use is not.
some uses. "We are very distressed about any situation that calls into play the integrity of our players," said Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer.
At the Yankees' spring training camp, Giambi and Sheffield wouldn't directly address the report.
report.
"Speculation doesn't bother me. It's as simple as that," Sheffield said. "I deal with it. You know I don't like dealing with issues. You know I don't like dealing with controversy. Nobody likes to do that."
The Chronicle reported that two of Bonds' former teammates Marvin Benard of the White Sox and Benito Santiago of the Royals and former Oakland Athletics infielder Randy Velarde also received performance-enhancing drugs as did linebacker Bill Romanowski, who was released by the Raiders.

CHANCE: Javhawks look to even season series
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Lee was an integral piece in the Jayhawks' Four Foul run last season off the bench, and showed his capabilities with 12 points and four rebounds against Oklahoma.
Lee started against Nebraska on Feb. 15, but had just six points on 2-of-6 shooting in 32 minutes on the floor.
Kansas will rely on sophomore forwards Christian Moody and Moulaye Niang to make a defensive impact. For the first time in nine games, senior forward Jeff Graves will be back in the starting lineup because of the ankle injury keeping freshman David Padgett out of action.
"When Jeff's mind is into it and his heart is into it, he's a hell of a player," Miles said. "We need that. We need a spark from the bench."

GREENE: Padgett having solid freshman season
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
the NCAA Tournament. Like Padgett, Collison learned on the job, averaging 10.5 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, and had a 49.7 field goal percentage as a freshman. To boot, he was constantly exposed on defense by veteran opponents. But over four years, he improved into an All-American. As a senior, Collison averaged 18.5 points and 10.0 rebounds per game, blocked 74 shots and shot 55.4 percent from the field.
Comparatively, Padgett averages a solid 6.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game, but he would be the first one to tell you about his defensive struggles against Texas last Monday, or when the team lost at Iowa State. His teammates will then step in and
tell you how many more games they would have lost this season if Padgett wasn't here. Let's be honest, right now he's a pretty good basketball player for a freshman. Right now, Padgett is not Nick Collison, just as Eric Chenowith was never Rael LaFrentz.
"The Kansan needs a Free For All just for David Padgett." — March 2
Every game at Allen Fieldhouse, David Padgett saunters onto the court for warmups amidst deafening cheers from the students in the stands two hours before tipoff. Every afternoon David Padgett walks to class and people look at him and, knowing who he is, some go and kiss up to him. David Padgett stands in the area outside of the locker room in
the fieldhouse after games and signs endless autographs.
What must go through his head?
Are these the same people who call and make fun of me in the paper, then jump back on the ship when I dunk or dive for a loose ball?
But David brushes it off in public, like a grown-up. In the end, he is the bigger man. All of these faceless, nameless idiots who only say negative things can call in, but it means nothing, because it comes from nowhere.
"David Padgett will be ten times as good as Eric Chenowith because he has heart."—Feb. 27

FENCING: Club expands into recreation center
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
"After the basic moves, it's up to style," Moser said.
Ryan Reed, the club's vice president, said that there was a fencers' muscle, a muscle on the thigh, which only hurts after fencing. Reed, an Overland Park senior, said he attributed the sore muscle to the deep lunges the fencers use in bouts.
The KUFC will compete in a novice tournament March 21 in St. Louis. Moser said she hopes to host a tournament at the University of Kansas this semester with other college clubs in the Kansas City area.
Dalton said tournaments are all day events with fencers. Many go for the spirit of the event rather than to compete, she said.
New members are attracted because of their interest in the sport, but they stay because of the social aspect, Moser said.
New members are welcome to join the club, Moser said. The club's dues are $25 per semester, and members do not need to buy their own equipment. Moser said that once new members stayed for one or two weeks, they were welcomed to what she called the 'inner circle of fencers.'
Since the club's founding in 2001, the club has grown from two or three members to about 25 members who consistently come to practice. The club has become so popular that it has almost outgrown the aerobics room at the recreation center where it practices. Moser said her goal was to turn the club sport into a varsity team.
"In the next generation it might happen," she said.

IN ITS 100TH YEAR AS THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Vol. 114 Issue No. 106
Trust suit decided
Miller, Watkins halls denied control of fund operations
By Ron Knox
rknox@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
After more than two years of court proceedings, a judge ruled in favor of the University of Kansas and Bank of America last week in a student filed lawsuit. The ruling denied students' requests to control operations of Watkins and Miller Scholarship Halls.
The suit, filed by residents of the scholarship halls, claimed the trust fund used to operate the halls was being mismanaged by the University and Bank of America, which oversees the funds.
Elizabeth Watkins set up the fund in the 1930s to establish the two scholarship halls.
The student plaintiffs abandoned the majority of allegations in the suit last September because many of the specific complaints about the structural problems with the halls had been corrected well before the students filed the lawsuit, said Ken Stoner, director of Student Housing.
Stoner said many of the plaintiffs and

Returning home after graduation prevalent

Four years ago, a father waved goodbye to his daughter as she drove 300 miles off to college. Now she is approaching graduation. Instead of worrying about buying her first house or beginning a career, she's planning on coming back home.
For today's college graduates, this is not uncommon.
According to 2003 findings from monsterTRAK research, 61 percent of students plan to move in with their parents after graduation. David Morrison,
"I think sometimes after graduating they still don't know exactly what they want to do."

founder of TWENTYSOMETHING Inc. a consulting firm, said that graduates stayed with their parents for more than six months.
A recent New York Times referred to students who return home after college as "boomerang kids," because they
return to where they came from.
Some parents may not be happy about this. The empty nest syndrome, a loneliness parents may experience when their children leave home, can actually be a happy experience, said William Arnold, sociology professor.
The parents may enjoy their freedom of not having children living in the house, and may be a little disappointed by their kids returning home, he said. When Arnold's children returned home, he became frustrated.
Arnold said there was bound to be a certain amount of regression of maturity

Kerry's closest competition, Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.), dropped out early in the day when his staff received the early results from the eastern states.
After being bolstered by support by nearly one-third of all available delegates, Kerry's victory might render the last primaries, including the Kansas caucus at least as far as choosing a presidential nominee, next to meaningless.
"I don't think it really matters," said Don Haider-Markel, associate professor of political science.
The only remaining competition for Kerry now are U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), and the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Kerry's victories, 24 of 27 state contests held so far, are making some look forward to the next few months and the ultimate bid for the White House.
Some Republicans are also beginning to look ahead to Kerry's future opportunities.

Opportunities for work study decreasing
By Steve Vockrodt
svockrodt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Cuts in federal education funding may lead to less work-study opportunities for students applying for financial aid.
Students needing help paying for school may have to look toward other financial-aid programs.
"It's still competitive for students to find jobs on campus, but there's just less of them out there," said Ann Hartley, associate director of student employment services.
University of Kansas funding for work study took a blow in December 2002 when the University raised on-campus minimum wage to $6 an hour. Hartley said at that time, campus jobs were reduced by about one-third because of the strain
"It's still competitive for students to find jobs on campus, there's just less of them out there."
Ann Hartley
Ann Hartley Associate director of student employment services
the wage raise put on departments.
In addition, the combination of reduced federal spending towards work study and department budget cuts adds up to a loss in work study opportunities.
The work-study program is a need-based program in the Free Application for Federal Student Aid that uses federal funds to pay 75 percent of a student's wage. Departments on campus
that hire work study students must pay the remaining 25 percent of the wage.
Stephanie Covington, associate director of financial aid, said federal allocations for work study has steadily decreased over the last several years. Work-study funds for this summer have already run out.
The University applies for its federal allocation at the end of each year. KU was awarded $963,496 in 2002-03. That amount decreased to $912,418 for the current school year. Next year's tentative allocation is down to $851,791, signaling a $60,627 reduction.
The University policy to try to retain work study awards for those who received it the previous year is making the program more competitive.
Students who find themselves shut out of a federal work study
program still have options available. The Kansas Work Study Program works with off-campus employers to provide opportunities in positions related to students' majors.
Covington said an example would be Walgreens Drugstores hiring a pharmacy major. The program is lucrative to employers as well since the state reimburses the employer part of the student's wage.
Students must be Kansas residents to qualify, have a minimum 2.0 grade-point average and be enrolled in at least six hours.
Covington also suggested students contact the Financial Aid Office on August 1 in case any extra funding for federal work study comes about.
Joe Mulvihill, Perry senior said he wished federal work-study dollars would start to increase. Mulvihill is a work-
study recipient who works at the Watson Library circulation desk.
Without the financial aid, Mulvihill said he would have to take out a loan or find some other way to pay for college. He said he sympathized for those who might not receive their opportunity for work-study.
"It's hurting the people who really need them," Mulvihill said.
The steady decrease in work study made a significant impact upon the financial aid office, but Covington hopes it will rebound.
"It's a wonderful program, it's a great alternative to borrowing," Covington said. "We're hopeful to get to a level previously where we can accommodate most people who want it."

Dialogue to address ideals about body image
By Jodie Kraftt

A group of students, panelists and facilitators will have the opportunity to discuss body image tonight at the Diversity Dialogue Series called "Chunky, Skinny, Fat and Thin." The dialogue will focus on students' perception of body image and the media's role in increasing awareness through advertising, said Melissa Smith, panel leader and manager of health education for student health services.
"I hope students come away affirming that their bodies are wonderful and to take care of them in healthy ways," Smith said.
The dialogue is the second of three this semester. At the beginning of each discussion, an
"You think you know what diversity is, but it's not just black and white. I don't want to be part of the problem, I want to be part of the solution."
Elizabeth Ault
Topeka sophomore and DBET member
expert in that night's discussion topic introduces the topic and asks six panelists several questions. After the question-and-answer session, members of the Multicultural Resource Center's Diversity Peer Education Team break students into small groups for discussion.
During the group sessions, students typically don't want to talk, said Elizabeth Ault, Topeka sophomore and DPET member. Ault said she tried to think of simple questions during the panel discussion to get people talking. She said she enjoyed facilitating discussions and learning about diversity.
Students should come to the dialogues to discuss issues central to their self-identity, said Kathy Rose-Mockry, dialogue panelist and director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. Tonight is Rose-Mockry's first time on the diversity dialogue panel, but she said she served on other panels for MRC activities.
"You think you know what diversity is, but it's not just black and white," Ault said. "I don't want to be part of the problem, I want to be part of the solution."
"These are issues that are critical to students' well-being and their success on campus," Rose-Mockry said.
Forty to 50 students typically attend the dialogues, said Kelly Gwilliam, graduate assistant and coordinator of the dialogues.
This is a combination of students interested in the topic or those required to attend for a class. Gwilliam said she was satisfied with the number of students who attended, but more was always better.
"But the students who come each time are not the same students, which is good," Gwilliam said.
The next diversity dialogue is scheduled for April 1. Called "Queer Eye for the Straight World," the dialogue will focus on television shows featuring the queer community and whether their representation is making progress or perpetuating a stereotype.

Tripping at Union resolved
By Neeley J, Spellmeier
nspellmeier@kansan.com
nspellmeier staff writer
After a semester of tripping at the Kansas Union, the problematic staircase has been fixed.
During winter break, McPherson Contractors, Inc., repaired the uneven steps. The University Daily Kansan's Oct. 1 "Unior staircase a trip," reported that there was faulty measuring of the stairs.
An inspection team discovered the problem during a routine check, said Pat Beard, director of the building services for the Kansas and Burge Unions. The check occurred after a $5 million renovation to the Kansas Union took place between summer of 2002 and April of 2003. Beard said the renovation was required for student, accessibility and because of traces, of asbestos were discovered.
Every project has areas that need to be revisited, Beard said. There were more problems than just the stairs, but nothing that affected the public to the extent that the stairs did, Beard said.
The repairs started Dec. 15 and were finished by Dec. 31. During the repairs, traffic was diverted to the Union's elevators and southwest stairwell, which was the mainstaircase during the renovation.
Doug Doering, of Gould Evans Associates in Lawrence, was the architect on the project. He said the height problem was a result of the concrete not being poured properly.
The difference in the height of the stairs was not more than three-eighths of an inch, but it was enough to cause problems because people adjust to a standard height.
If an injury had resulted, the contractors would have been liable.
Beard said he hadn't heard any complaints since the contractors had fixed the steps.

FACE-OFF
Increased speed limit: Beneficial or dangerous? Needed for growth ___ Increase too costly
Abandoned gas stations, run-down restaurants and dilapidated farms litter I-70 in western Kansas. Drivers bypass the rows of wheat and buildings with peeling paint lining the 70 mph interstate for a faster, less-convenient route, according to a recent Lawrence Journal-World article.
Long-distance drivers opt for I-80, a 75 mph interstate in Nebraska, for cross-state travel, increasing interstate business and state revenue. Nebraska is just one of three surrounding states whose speed limit is higher than the Kansas limit. These states vie with Kansas for business and win.
Without an incentive, such as an increased speed limit, boosting roadside activity and tourism is not feasible.
Opponents fear an increased speed limit will directly elevate the rate of car accidents along the interstate. According to studies conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Federal Highway Administration, evidence to back these fears has proved
inconclusive.
Car accidents, as noted in the FHWA study, are more likely to occur when a driver is traveling greatly above or below the rate of other drivers' speeds. And although interstate traffic is moving faster, accidents are less probable than in stop-and-go traffic.
FHWA researchers also found that raising the speed limit by 5, even 15 mph, had only a minor effect on vehicle speeds because most people already drive 5 to 10 mph over the posted speed limit.
Interestingly, when the speed limit at test sites was raised, drivers were more inclined to comply with the posted, legal limit instead of accelerating 10 mph more. Raising the speed limit, lessens the chance of expensive speeding tickets and raised insurance rates.
Until we spark activity in western Kansas by raising the speed limit, our state's sparse interstates will remain under par and unprofitable.

If a measure to raise the speed limit on Kansas highways and Interstates passes, the repercussions will overshadow the advantages the increase would bring to local businesses.
Statistics have shown that a higher speed limit will raise the death toll on highways, put more pollution into the air and cost consumers, who drive faster, more money.
Most highway drivers tend to speed. If the speed limit is raised from 70 to 75 mph, instead of people driving 75 to 80 mph, people will be driving 80 to 85 mph.
"By raising the speed limit, you aren't reducing the number of speeders, you are just simply shifting the speeders into a higher bracket of speed," said Russ Rader, representative for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
"There is a direct connection between raising speed limits and traffic fatalities," Rader said.
With an increase in speed comes an increase in accidents.
Higher speed limits can also break a motorist's wallet. The
faster a vehicle goes, the more gas it burns. Raising the speed limit will force people to buy more of that $1.64-per-gallon gas,the price of which is expected to go up over the summer.
Another downfall is the destruction that raising the speed limit will have on our environment. With more gas being used, the amount of harmful emissions increase, polluting the air.
Our environment has enough problems as the number of people buying gas-guzzling sport utility vehicles is increasing. This leads to more greenhouse gases going into the air, and contributes to the issue of global warming.
The best decision the Legislature can make is to not pass the increase. However, if a speed limit measure is passed, there is action people can take: ignore it.
Remember, just because the signs may eventually say that the maximum speed limit is 75 miles per hour doesn't mean that you have to do it.

PERSPECTIVE
Safe driving up to everyone
It happened more than 20 years ago, but Lyons native Luke Ellis hasn't forgotten.
The fog had settled on a highway in western Kansas and Ellis' father, Walter, could have easily rushed home to avoid the hazardous driving conditions. But as he glanced toward the highway shoulder, Walter noticed a stranded motorist in need of help. Walter pulled over to help the man, who likely went unnoticed by most because of the misty weather. As the two men worked on the car, a trucker
COMMENTARY
— consumed by an overwhelming exhaustion and hindered by the dense fog — accidentally veered onto the shoulder, killing Ellis' father.
For the legion of KU students who drive K-10 on a regular basis, a stranded motorist is a common scene, particularly with this winter's snowstorms. And unfortunately, all of us are probably guilty of not paying attention to anything except what's directly in front of us. Whether grabbing a CD from its case, applying makeup in the rearview mirror or simply zoning out, careless actions become second nature. When you toss inclement weather into the mix, a seemingly harmless move such as shuffling through CDs can turn deadly.

The problem with drivers not changing lanes for roadside bystanders has not gone unnoticed by the Kansas Department of Transportation and law enforcement officials. Kansas highway troopers find it necessary these days to essentially re-educate the public on the Goodheart Law. Passed in May 2000, the law is named after Master Trooper Dean Allen Goodheart, who was fatally struck in 1995 by an 18-year-old college student as he conducted a roadside inspection.
David Corp, law enforcement liaison, said troopers have issued numerous complaints about the failure to recognize the law. "Most drivers do not know the law exists or choose not to obey the 'move-to-the-left' law," Corp said.
A lot of the trouble could be because of
cell phone use, the bane of driving caution. The February/March 2003 issue of the National Safety Council's Inquiry Insights publication focused on a new trend among drivers called "inattention blindness," or the "inability to recognize objects in the driver's visual field."
Plenty of drivers may claim that their driving ability is not impaired by talking on a cell phone, but why take the chance? Should a person appear out of nowhere, a driver's reaction time could be that pedestrian's saving grace.
But the cell phone doesn't even need to be in the picture for things to go awry. When snow-covered streets finally get plowed, freedom from the wintry fetters can be exhilarating. It's almost like we're making up for lost time when we are able to drive without the fear of fish-tailing. Unfortunately, when the ice disappears, our on-guard feeling can make an exit as well.
For those individuals who have been victims of reckless driving, they deserve better than a highway full of drivers whose main concern is fetching their Linkin Park CDs from the glove department.

'O'Reilly Factor' often neglects 'fair and balanced' approach
Bill O'Reilly, of the Fox News Channel The O'Reilly Factor, is best known for his cutthroat, highly opinionated views about issues that affect this country.
Fox likes to boast that it is "fair and balanced" when it comes to journalism, but O'Reilly does not fall under that category.
O'Reilly's rose-colored, "fair and balanced" glasses are going to break sooner or later. He uses his No. 1-rated primetime television show to create issues that best serve his interests and then harshly attacks and ridicules people as he sees fit.
K
O'Reilly does not like "gangsta" rap. Every chance he gets, he strikes down the music, its culture and the rappers who make money off of selling "gangsta" rap records.
COMMENTARY
First of all, there is no such thing as "gangsta" rap. "Gangsta" rap was a term coined by the media to describe rappers who rapped about violence in their songs.
Brandon Cobb opinion@kansan.com
Governor Schwarzenegger was able to cash in on displaying acts of violence to the tune of $800 million. O'Reilly does not have a problem with Schwarzenegger receiving endorsements, but if Schwarzenegger were a "gangsta" rapper it would be a whole different story.
Secondly, no rapper can rap about
For the past year or so, O'Reilly has had a feud with Atlanta-based rapper Ludacris. O'Reilly expressed outrage to the Pepsi corporation when it hired Ludacris as spokesman. O'Reilly urged his viewers to boycott Pepsi products until the company fired Ludacris.
He got his wish. Pepsi fired Lucidac and replaced him with Ozzy Osbourne!
O'Reilly said, "Unlike Ozzy Osbourne, who curses, or Britney Spears, who's an immature exhibitionist, Ludacris is hard-core. He glorifies criminal conduct, and kids hear this stuff. Some of those children are from troubled homes and adopt the anti-social attitudes as their own."
That does not sound, "fair and balanced" to me. Osbourne exemplifies everything that is wrong with the family structure in this country. His kids curse at him, his son, Jack, is a recovering drug addict at age 17, and the kids show little respect for their parents. Sounds like a troubled home to me.
Osbourne's endorsement is just fine with O'Reilly.
Now O'Reilly is at it again. Ludacris has just received another endorsement from a major corporation — Anheuser-Busch. O'Reilly has resurfaced the same-old Pepsi rhetoric against Ludacris.
He said, "This gangsta stuff is foolish to anyone who's mature, but for impressionable kids, drug and guns make an impression."
Monday night on The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly urged his viewers to boycott Anheuser-Busch theme parks as well as its beer products until it got rid of Ludacris.
does not include a rejection.
But that would not be fair to O'Reilly's cause, because he always has to have the last word.
O'Reilly's biggest problem is that he claims to speak for Americans. I am American, and he does not represent me in any way, shape or form. True indeed
If O'Reilly were truly "fair and balanced," he would give Ludacris' charity, The Ludacris Foundation, which raises thousands of dollars for impoverished kids, just as much press coverage as he does his negative lyrics.
children are impressionable and tend to mimic the people they idolize. However, a Schwarzenegger action film is no better for society than rappers using dirty language in one of their songs. It is all entertainment. Every generation's youth culture has been scrutinized in one way or another. Most of our parents endured the same prejudices when it came to rock' n' roll music and the fashion of the '60s and '70s.
O'Reilly is secretly brainwashing an older society that already looks down upon youthful culture. He uses its naiveté to promote his agenda and dislike for rap music and then claims it to be in the best interest of America.
O'Reilly only gives his side of the issue, bombards his opinion into viewer's psyches and then wants them to deliberate without bias. O'Reilly is not looking out for America's best interest; he is only using his show to endorse himself.

Senate debates new representation
By Andy Marso amarso@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Two housing senators lobbied for new Student Senate seats for Stouffer Place and Jayhawker Towers residents last night.
After an hour of debate, the Stouffer Place seat was approved, but the Jayhawker Towers seat was denied.
Lase Ajaji, residential senator, and Kristan Seibel, Association of University Residence Halls senator, wrote the bill. It would have added the two new seats to five pre-existing housing seats and also provide for a Residential Housing Board made up of on-campus housing senators and three appointed students.
Before the bill, there were appointed housing senators representing the All Scholarship Hall Council, the Association of University Residence Halls, the Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Association and the National Pan-Hellenic Council.
National Seibel and Ajayi said Stouffer Place and Towers residents had needs that the existing senators couldn't adequately address.
"Some of the most under-represented places on campus are Stouffer, where it's generally families, and the Towers, where there's a wide array of residents," Seibel said.
Student Body President Andy Knopp argued against the bill as written and proposed it be broken into three parts. The merits of the Stouffer Place seat, the Jayhawker Towers seat and the Residential Housing Board were

debated separatism Knopn then said he was in favor of the the Stouffer Place seat if one of the three non-traditional student seats was eliminated so that the total number of senators wouldn't increase.
"It's a zero-sum thing, and I think it's definitely a good way to get non-traditional representation." Knapp said.
Knopp argued against the Towers' seat saying it could set a bad precedent. If the Towers were given a seat, he said other living groups such as Naismith Hall might also request seats.
Angus Mugford, president of the Jayhawker Towers Tenant Association, spoke in favor of the Tower's seat.
"We have a fairly unique population at the Towers in that we're on campus but we have a lot of upperclassmen, international students
and graduates," Mugford said. "We're not the same as the res halls, and I think more representation is good representation."
Four senators, including Seibel, gave speeches in favor of the Towers' seat, but it failed to gain the two-thirds majority vote it needed to pass. The final vote was 21 in favor, 22 against.
After the meeting Delta Force presidential candidate, Blake Swenson, said he was disappointed.
"I think it's a shame JTTA's voice was stifled," Swenson said. "They're an on-campus living organization with a unique living situation that deserves representation."
Knopp said he was considering the future when he argued against the seat.
"In a way, the precedent's already set, but I think it could really snowball into a lot more groups asking for additional senators." Knopp said.
The Residential Housing Board section of the bill passed.
Other Senate news:
Senate passed a petition to insist that a voting student member is included on the restructured KU Athletic Corporation Board. The student body president currently serves as a non-voting member. Students pay a $20 fee per semester that is distributed at KUAC's discretion, called the Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports Fee.
Two new replacement senators were appointed. John Wilson, Lawton, Okl., sophomore, was appointed to a Fine Arts seat. Brandon Heavey, Overland Park
A bill that revised the replacement process passed. The bill provided for the first eligible applicant to be immediately nominated for Senate approval if no applications were handed in during the open applications period. Before, a new open application period would be set with the replacement committee judging applications at the end of the period.

'Brown v. Board' decision basis of class

Keiv Spare, Parsons senior, originally joined the class because his friends did. He said he's glad he enrolled because he has learned interesting facts, such as the Constitution was written to accommodate slavery.
My ultimate concern is not that students necessarily leave the class with a specific understanding of legal cases," Yetman said, "but with the general sense of that very notion of how American institutes operate to the benefit of some people and not the benefit of others."

He said the primary point of the course was about white institutions that created segregation and the inequalities between black and white people. Yetman emphasizes to his class of about 300 students that the course is about white privileges maintained throughout history.

today because of the case's decision. Society is diverse in terms of different races, but social inequalities are still pronounced in some areas, he said.
That's why Yetman, professor of American studies and sociology, teaches a class on the 1954 Brown v. Board decision at the University of Kansas. The course focuses on history, cultural differences, the background and cause of the case. Beyond that, it focuses on how the impact of the decision has been a catalyst for change within American society.
Yetman said there was no simple answer to the question of whether America has changed since the decision. But there was a greater degree of white acceptance and the notion of equality, he said.

The Brown v. Board decision was ultimately a means for civil rights issues, Yetman said.

The heat is on in Australia
By Matt Rodriguez
mdrrogiquez@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Australia has turned to a non-traditional import: education.
Students are finding the education there can be one of a kind.
"I got an experience I wouldn't have been able to at KU," said Sandy Rubin, Shawnee senior.
For the second consecutive year, the number of American students receiving credit for studying in Australia increased. The number of American students studying there last year rose 17 percent, according to the Institute of International Education.
Students like Rubin have said they were attracted to Australia's exotic location. Rubin studied at the University of Wollongong from 2002 to 2003 Besides the fact that Australians speak English, what also attracted Rubin was the Australians' attitudes towards Americans.
"They picked up on my accent quick." Rubin said. "I told them I was from Kansas and The Wizard of Oz comments followed me everywhere."

stop and talk to you or even help you answer a question.
When Krista Hund studied at the University of Newcastle two years ago, the American dollar was worth twice as much as the Australian dollar. For the Leavenworth senior, this unbalanced exchange rate allowed her to take her experience to a higher level.
"The amount of money I saved was great," Hund said. "I was able to travel to more places on a tight budget."
Now the exchange rate is not as beneficial to Americans as it used to be. The Australian dollar is worth $0.77 in the U.S.
the American dollar and Rubin, who studied abroad last year, said you can still get more for your dollar there than you would here.
But the rate is still in favor of
Rubin said she knew she couldn't afford a vacation to Australia when she graduated so she decided studying there was the better option.
Students should keep in mind that the cost for studying in Australia is rising because of the increasing exchange rate, said Rene Frias, program coordinator Office of Study Abroad. The cost for studying in Australia has increased for next semester from $5,000 to $6,200.
In addition to the cost of tuition, students have to pay for their flight. A round-trip ticket booked three months in advance would cost about $1,309, according to Student Travel Australia.
Another reason students find Australia appetizing is because students on a visa can work there up to 20 hours part-time.
Neither Hund nor Rubin worked while studying in Australia. They said they would've rather traveled or gone to the beach in their spare time.

Students design care unit for at-risk newborn babies
By Matt Rodriguez
mprdrodguez@kansan.com
Kansas writer
Five design students from the University of Kansas are helping to change the look of hospitals all over the world.
The KU group was the only one at the conference comprised of students. Everyone who attended worked for, or in conjunction with, neonatal nursing wards. The students presented their research of a design of a hospital's intensive care nursing area, placing the University's design department in the international spotlight.
Four industrial design students and a December interior design graduate presented their research on an innovative design for neonatal intensive care units to a group of doctors, hospital administrators and architects earlier this month at an international conference on neonatology in Clearwater, Fla. Stormont-Vail HealthCare in Topeka will finish construction on a neonatal intensive care unit using the design in about a year.
For more than a year, the students worked together with administrators at Stormont-Vail and the Harrell Group, an architectural firm based out of Cincinnati.
A neonatal intensive care unit cares for newborn babies born with health risks.
Kent Spreckelmeyer, professor of architecture and project adviser, said traditional neonatal wards are open bays with 25 incubators placed throughout the room.
The collaborative design differed from other neonatal designs because of its shape and its entrances, Spreckelmeyer said. The new design is a circular unit made up of 27 individual rooms surrounding a nurses station. Each room has two entrances on opposite sides. The nurses enter from the inner entrance of the circular unit and the families enter from the outer entrance. The idea is to provide more privacy and a sense of ownership for the families, Spreckelmeyer said.
The students, hospital and architecture firm wanted to present something more than a small-scale model at the conference. After the students gave the Harrell Group their interior design plans, they began a sixth-month process of sketching designs, visiting Stormont-Vail and conducting preliminary research.
Next, the Harrell group worked with Stormont-Vail and the students to create two life-sized prototype rooms at the hospital. The students surveyed 56 Stormont staff members and 25 parents who visited the trial rooms. The five students would sometimes work 10-hour shifts at Stormont-Vail conducting research.
The students are not taking all the credit. They share some of their success with Speckelmeyer.
"His insights and experiences were invaluable to us as we proceeded through this project," Katharine Harris, Olathe senior, said. "By him helping us combine our more artistic ideals with the common practicality, he made the design successful."
Spreckelmeyer said several conference participants commented about the students' proficiency and their innovative research.
"This project was a great experience because it allowed us as students to match academia with professionalism," said Kate Harding, Piqua, Ohio, senior.
The other students who participated were Emily Foelske, Boulder, Colo., senior; Lauren Slaterbeck, Overland Park senior; and Ali Racunas, a recent graduate from Wichita.

KU physics professor Dave Besson spends his winter break summering in Antarctica, where temperatures reach an average high of minus 40.
Besson, a specialist in the study of subatomic particles, directs an experiment to detect black holes. The experiment relies on the Antarctic ice cap. Particles ejected from some black holes interact with the ice when they hit earth, giving scientists hints about the holes' positions.
Black holes can be 10 billion times as massive as the sun and 3,330 trillion times as massive as Earth. The gravity of such a heavy object pulls in everything around it, including visible light and other radiation, which makes black holes invisible to conventional telescopes and cameras.

Astronomers were elated last month as a black hole destroyed a star that had come near the invisible mass because it confirms that black holes can destroy virtually any other celestial body, according to a New York Times article published Feb. 19.

Observing black holes through the destruction of nearby stars and planets is tedious, however.
Astronomers recorded the star's destruction for 10 years.

He said particles interact violently in some layers of a black hole's gravitational field. Particles called neutrinos can become

energized enough to escape the black hole.
"They are comparable to the kinetic energy of a tennis ball moving at 50 miles per hour concentrated into a single proton," Besson said.
Neutrinos then enter the earth's atmosphere and hit the Antarctic ice, giving Besson clues about the black hole's position, he said.
black hole's neutrinos are impossible to detect individually, it is easy to find them when they hit ice.
and then when it "neutrens collide with polar ice, the particle becomes an electron," he said. "The electron produced then initiates a large shower of electrons."
This shower, he said, is easily detected.
Despite the power of the black hole observed last week, MSNBC reported on Feb. 18 that there was no foreseeable danger to earth or its solar system. While there is a black hole in the Milky Way galaxy, it does not appear as dangerous as most, and events like last week's destruction of a star happen once every 10,000 years in any given galaxy, scientists estimate.

petitioners didn't live in the halls when the corrections were made. The initial proposals for the hall's repair projects, including Miller Hall's foundation, were filed in 1990, 11 years before the student's lawsuit.
The students withdrew their complaints regarding the allocation of the Watkins trust, but didn't withdraw a petition to allow Watkins and Miller hall residents partial control over the day-to-day operations of the halls and the spending of the Watkins trust.

TRUST: Despite ruling, petitioners satisfied with suit's outcome
Douglas County District Court Judge Jack A. Murphy dismissed the student petition, saying that there were sufficient processes in place for students to review spending without controlling operations, including petitioning through the All Scholarship Hall Council and the Student Housing Advisory Board.
"The students receive an accounting list of how the trust is spent every year," said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations. "There are definite avenues students can take to voice their complaints."
Murphy also rejected the student's petition to charge the University and Bank of America for their legal costs.
Many of the student petitioners were satisfied with the impact of the outcome — if not with the ruling, said Lindsay Poe, Wichita senior and president of the Student Preservations Committee.
"We're disappointed with the court's ruling, but happy with the changes," she said. "It worked out pretty well."
out pretty well to ensure the hall's funding is spent properly and the halls are cared for in the future, communication must be maintained between incoming students and current residents, Poe said.
"We have to make sure residents understand their responsibilities as beneficiaries of the trust," she said.
Bretz said maintaining the structural and operational integrity of the halls shouldn't be a problem.
"The University has a vested interest in maintaining the scholarship halls," Bretz said. "In many ways, they are the pride of the University."

The baby-boom generation qualifies as people between the ages of 40 and 58. According to a census report from the U.S. Department of Labor, workers 55 and older will make up 19.1 percent of the labor force between 2002 and 2012.
Paul Comolli, associate economics professor, did not see anything wrong with students returning home after college gradation. The economy is bad, and students may need to rethink their career options, he said. Students can go home to examine their futures, while taking a temporary job, he said.

She is applying to study abroad in Mexico this summer and in Costa Rica in the fall. She said she wanted to stay in Costa Rica for a few years, but planned to live with her parents after studying abroad. She said she would save money by doing this, and would continue to work at Border's Books, Music and Café in Overland Park as she had for the past five years.

After graduating with a bachelor's degree in business this spring, she will continue to work as a student assistant in the business school's financial unit office while paying off loans and working on her master's degree in accounting for a year.

The Language Acquisition Preschool in Haworth Hall helps not only typically-developing children, but also children with speech and language impairments and those who speak English as a second language.

"By the time some children leave the program they need very limited services, or none at all," she said.
Jan Patrick, Lawrence resident, put her son Colin Bradt, age 3, in the preschool after her older son Roscoe Bradt, age 6, had attended. Both children have typical English language skills, and the boys benefited from being around children with different speech skill levels by learning not to compare themselves to others who are different, Patrick said.
The program began in 1985 at the University when a grant was awarded to Mabel Rice, distinguished professor in speech and language pathology, said Kim Wilcox, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The program is still excelling in its 19th year, Bunce said.

HELL: Caffeine and antics help architectural engineering student
Sometimes Breuer takes naps in the studio so there will be someone around to wake him up. He once fell asleep while in the process of setting the alarm on his phone.
Brian Classen, St. Louis sophomore, is one of Breuer's studios. He said that while Breuer probably spent more time than anyone else he knew in studio, he wasn't that far from the norm.
Breuer's roommate, Jason Huenefeld, said he didn't know the full extent of Breuer's hours until he began living with him. The Montgomery City, Mo., sophomore, said he has seen Breuer fall asleep in random places in their

"There's not enough coffee in the world for me," Huenefeld said.
Breuer, who calls himself a bit of perfectionist, has tried to stay laid back about studio hell weeks. Before college he had
received two Bs in his life: one in third-grade gym and the other in senior-year calculus. He was used to pulling all-nighters in high school because he was involved in a valedictorian race.
He is accustomed to the hard work required for studio and enios it.
"If I didn't love what I was doing, I wouldn't put myself through this," he said.
Even though Breuer is used to long hours and no sleep, he said he still needs a stress reliever in studio once in a while. Breuer and his studimates have resorted to kicking walls. They've also destroyed old projects to release aggression.
— under a controlled environment of course."
"We'd throw them, stomp on them, set them on fire," he said. "We had a good time with them.
Breuer often takes it upon himself to keep everyone in the studio awake by entertaining his studiomates, such as Classen.
"When you're up that late, something funny keeps you awake," Classen said. "It's a break from the drudgery."
Breuer said studio antics were a way to make the long hours and hard work more enjoyable. The most memorable moments include chugging a bottle of maple syrup and setting his pants on fire.
"I wasn't all there," Breuer said. "I hadn't slept for a couple days straight, and I think working with super glue fumes might have contributed too."

'Hawks avenge Nebraska loss
Junior trio leads KU to victory
Jayhawks
By Ryan Greene
rgreene@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Forwards Brett Olson, Jeff Graves and Bryant Nash took in the crowd during the flower ceremony before last night's men's basketball game. "Senior Day" marked the final time the trio would play in Allen Fieldhouse.
J. R. Giddens sent down an authoritative fast-break dunk with 17:17 remaining in the game, and was fouled at the same time.
While celebrating, he brought his hand to his shoulder and brushed.
After the ensuing free throw, the Jayhawks led 53-31, had brushed off the Nebraska Cornhuskers and were on their way to a 78-67 victory.
Kansas won in the final Allen Fieldhouse appearance of senior forwards Bryant Nash, Jeff Graves and Brett Olson. It was also revenge for Kansas' 74-55 loss in Lincoln, Neb., on Feb.15.
Nebraska showed no fear during the game's opening minutes, and brought the same sharp shooting it displayed in its first meeting with Kansas.
The Cornhuskers hit five three-point field goals in the game's first 5:32. At that point, Nebraska led 17-11, and was able to stay neck-and-neck with Kansas for the next seven minutes. Then, with just over seven minutes remaining in the first half, the junior trio of forward Wayne Simien, guard Keith Langford and guard Aaron Miles combined for 14 points in a 15-0 Kansas run. When Nebraska finally scored with 35 seconds left before the half, Kansas had built a comfortable 43-27 lead that it would never lose.
"That gave us some momentum and a little confidence," Langford said. "They're a team that shoots the mess out of the ball, and that lead could evaporate quickly, so we were glad we had the cushion."
Giddens' dunk was one of many big plays early in the second half that did in the Cornhuskers.

'Hawks look for effort in regular season finale
By Jesse Newell

Kansan sportswriter
After an emotional Senior Day, which included saying goodbye to both senior guard Leila Menguc and legendary coach Marian Washington, Kansas might not be expected to have much left physically or emotionally for the rest of the season.
Unless you ask interim coach Lynette Woodard.
Kansas has lost eight straight contests but will look to reverse its fortunes against the 13-13 Iowa State squad.
"I'm not going to give up." Woodard said, "not for one second."
The Jayhawks will look to reflect their coach's attitude at 7 tonight in the regular season finale at Iowa State.

"We can make things different," Woodard said, "if we just put our minds and hearts in it."
The Jayhawks hung with the Cyclones in their first matchup two weeks ago at Allen Fieldhouse, but three-point shooting made the difference.
ince Iowa State connected on 12 three-pointers in the game, taking a 73-58 win.
This accuracy from long range is a concern for Kansas, which has struggled at times with its perimeter defense.

Kansas will look to pick up its first win since Jan. 31. The Jayhawks fought hard but came up short in their last game, a 65-61 loss to the Nebraska Cornhuskers Saturday.

Kansas trimmed the lead to one with under a minute remaining, but Nebraska free throws kept the team from snapping its losing streak.
Kemp led Kansas with 24 points, scoring over 20 points for the sixth game this season.
Jeff Brandstad/Kansan
Sophomore forward Tamara Ransburg grabbed a team-high nine rebounds for the Jayhawks, becoming a major force since loosening her starting spot.
Junior guard Larisha Graves shot during the second period of the game against Nebraska on Saturday. The women's basketball team will play at Iowa State tomorrow at 7 p.m.
The game will be the final tune-up before the Big 12 Tournament in Dallas next week.
In the five games she has not started, Ransburg is averaging nearly 13 points and eight rebounds.

The Kansas golf team finished its second spring tournament on Tuesday in triumphant fashion by winning the Roadrunner Intercollegiate Tournament in San Antonio, Texas. They will look to carry that momentum into its next tournament.
Of the 17 teams entered in the tournament, the Jayhawks shot a three-round total of 856 and held off second place Baylor by 14 strokes. Texas-San Antonio took third place, scoring a three-round total of 875.
The Jayhawks were led by freshman Tyler Docking, Olathe, who shot a three-round total of 212, including a 69 in the final round. Docking took third place for individual honors.
"Winning by that many strokes is good for our confidence," coach Ross Randall said. "We also beat every team competing from our district, which says a lot about how we played this tournament."
Senior Tyler Hall, Wayne, N.J., who made his season debut for the Jayhawks, finished fifth individually with a three-round total of 214.
This was the Jayhawks' first tournament victory since the Kansas Invitational last year.

"Overall, it seems like we are getting better in each round we play," coach Randall said. "If we play as well as we can, we will have a chance to compete for the tournament title."

MVC nine-game tournament starts tomorrow in St. Louis
ST.LOUIS — Southern Illinois will be the top seed for the third straight year when the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament begins tomorrow in St. Louis.
The No. 15 Salukis (24-3, 17-1) lost to Northern Iowa 68-52 Monday, spoiling an undefeated regular season in the MVC. Northern Iowa (18-9, 12-6) is seeded second.
The tournament features nine games in four days, all at the Savvis Center in St. Louis. The championship game at 8 p.m. Monday will be televised on ESPN.
Southern Illinois was picked in a preseason poll to finish fifth after losing coach Bruce Weber to Illinois. But under Matt Painter, the Salukis enter the tournament with the highest national ranking since Bradley was 14th going into the 1988 tourney.
Southern Illinois will play at noon Saturday against the winner of the eighth-seeded Indiana State (9-18, 5-13) and ninth-seeded Evansville (6-21, 5-13) game on Friday. In the other game Friday, No. 7 seed Bradley (15-15, 7-11) plays 10th-seeded Illinois State (9-18, 4-14). The winner of that game plays Northern Iowa at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

Commissioner, coaches stay quiet
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Bud Selig wants to put baseball's focus back on the field. To do that, the commissioner has an idea limit talk about steroids.
Selig recently sent a directive to all 30 teams, telling them to decline comment on the BALCO case "specifically" and performance enhancing drugs "generally."
While the memo was not sent to players, some of them liked the move.
"I think it's a good thing," pitcher Russ Ortiz, Atlanta's union representative, said yesterday. "There's a lot of comments out there. It's not just the players. It's other people, too. But it's all speculation.
"I've not heard about it. I wish I had gotten that yesterday. I'd rather not address it anymore," Bobby Cox, Braves manager, said.
The talk about steroids has swept spring training, with increased speculation and scrutiny over which players might have used them.
On Tuesday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Barry Bonds was given the substances by his personal trainer — who got them from the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative.
According to the newspaper, investigators were also told that steroids were given to New York Yankees stars Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield.
Trainer Greg Anderson gave the players the drugs from BALCO, according to information given to the government
"I can't talk about something I don't know anything about. We feel that we really don't want to comment on this thing."
Joe Torre

Giambi's brother, Jeremy, had little to say about the issue.
and shared with the newspaper. Anderson has been charged with participating in a ring that provided performance-enhancing drugs to pro athletes.
"It's just something that's going on," he said at Dodgers camp. "I really can't talk about it. At some point, I will have a comment."
Asked about his brother, Jeremy said. "He's going about his business, he's got a season to play. He's getting ready to have another big year."
Steroids have been a daily topic at Yankees manager Joe Torre's press briefings. The first question Tuesday was about the Chronicle report and Torre politely said "next question."
Later, Torre was asked whether he was declining comment because he was told to keep quiet or because he didn't want to talk about the subject. He said both.
"I can't talk about something I don't know anything about. We feel that we really don't want to comment on this thing," he said.
Pitcher strives for permanent position
The Associated Press
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Reliever Nate Field is well-traveled, so he's planning to settle down for a while with the Kansas City Royals.
City Royals.
He played college ball for Barton County Community College in Great Bend and Fort Hays State in Hays. He pitched in 2001 and part of last year with Wichita, the Royals' Class AA affiliate.
He has also been around the majors five games in 2002 and 19 last season but is looking for a more extended stay this year.
this year. Field also got too familiar with Interstate 29 between Kansas City and
Omaha, home of the Royals' Class AAA farm club, last year. He was up and down eight times, including one time for six days in June when he never pitched.
picked.
In 19 games with Kansas City, Field went 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA, allowing just 19 hits in almost 22 innings, while striking out 19.
"Last year was definitely my most successful year," Field said. "I had a very successful 2001, but that was only in Double-A."
Field pitched well enough that the Royals recalled him Aug. 31 from Omaha, which would have made him eligible for the postseason roster if Kansas City had won the American
League Central Division.
League Central "I know when I got sent down last year they made it clear it was not the way I pitched." Field said.
Field was optioned on June 15 when the Royals needed a starting pitcher and signed Jose Lima from an independent league. He was sent to Omaha in August when Mike Sweeney came off the disabled list.
"Everything I've been through in my career, you've got to make the most of it," Field said.
Field was not drafted out of Fort Hays State, but signed with the Montreal Expos, who released him before the 2000 season.
He went to Sioux City in the independent Northern League, where the Royals discovered him and signed him June 29, 2000.
He made his major league debut on April 12, 2002. When the Royals designated him for assignment last June, the New York Yankees claimed him on waivers.
After a half season with the Yankees' Class AAA Columbus, Ohio, club, he signed again with the Royals.
He pitched almost four scoreless innings on June 30 against the Cleveland Indians, allowing just one hit and striking out three.
He picked up his first victory in the majors on July 4 against Detroit with almost two scoreless innings.
Royals rookie pitcher shines in spring debut
The Associated Press
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Kansas City Royals right-hander Zack Greinke was pleased with his first outing in spring training yesterday, especially considering the hitters he had to face.
Greinke, the 20-year-old who many considered to be one of the best pitching prospect in the minors last season, started the intrasquad game and had to pitch to Angel Berroa,
Carlos Beltran, Mike Sweeney and Juan Gonzalez.
"It's definitely the toughest lineup I've ever faced," Greinke said. "Last night I really was nervous about facing those guys, but once again when the time came out."

reached on a Ken Harvey error and Sweeney hit a single to the left.
"I don't think I've ever seen him not hit a line drive," Greinke said of Sweeney.
Then up stepped Gonzalez, who has 429 career home runs. After missing with a slider, catcher Benito Santiago called for a fastball inside.
"I knew if I missed over the plate, he'd send it a long way," Greinke said. "I hit my spot real good."
Gonzalez hit the ball back to the
pitcher and Greinke started an inning- ending double play.
"He was able to pitch his way out of the jam," Royals manager Tony Pena said. "This kid is amazing. At times I think he invents things. He's going to be special."
There are a possible three spots open in the Royals' rotation and Greinke could earn one of them. He will start Sunday against the Colorado Rockies as the Royals take an extended look at him in this month.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 4)
Today's Birthday (March 4).
There's no shortage of things to keep you busy this year. In fact, you may wonder if you'll get a moment to yourself. The good news is that the money you earn helps you achieve an exciting goal. Travel and education are favored.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8.
You know that working out can help you feel better physically. It also makes you feel better mentally, making your fears shrivel up. Get to it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 6.
You're fit to be tied. You want to tell somebody off. Your friends all agree it's a great idea, but it isn't. Hold off for a while.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is an 8.
Friends help you through a difficult time, but not by letting you talk. More likely, they're helping you vent by getting you physically active. That's best for now.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a7.
Turn down an invitation to play. You won't have the time for a while.Concentrate on your work for now, and have people over this weekend.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 9.
It's not the easiest thing to do, but
you'll be much better off if you
can put a lid on your enthusiasm
for now. Be patient with a shy
creature or you'll scare it away.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7.
Benefits and rebates count as income, too. Make a list of the ones you qualify for, and then take the appropriate actions. Don'twait!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7. Service hasn't always been the first thing on your mind. Admit it: At times you've been more concerned with looking good. Luckily, today you can do both.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7.
They say that when you're doing what you love, the money follows naturally. That may be the case,
but it's good to have a contract anyway. Now is a good time to sign the papers.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 9.
There won't be much time for talking. Something more interesting is going on. A misunderstanding could slow things down, though. Make sure everybody is on board.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 6.
Don't let your worries out. Keep a lid on them for now. By helping somebody who's in worse shape, you'll soon feel better yourself. Amazing, but true.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18) Today is a 7.
Not everything is sailing along smoothly yet. But with help, you can find a way around the rocks and make steady progress.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7.
Give your full attention to what you're doing. The better you can serve, the more generous your reward will be. You might even earn a bonus.
'Charlie's Angels'revisit television next Monday
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — In 1975, producer Aaron Spelling came up with an outrageous idea—a television show about three female detectives.
Back then, women didn't have leading roles in hour-long series and they certainly didn't run around without wearing bras
Unknown actors play Fawcett-Majors, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith. Dan Castellaneta, the voice of Homer Simpson, is Spelling. Wallace Langham (CSI) reprises the role of manager Jay Bernstein that he played in last year's hit NBC movie about the backstage goings-on at Three's Company.
Charlie's Angels changed all that, introducing a spellbound nation to "jiggle television" through a beautiful blond named Farrah Fawcett-Majors. Her rise to superstardom in a pre-Internet and cable world is shown in "Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Charlie's Angels" airing Monday on NBC at 8 p.m.
The movie is based on the "Charlie's Angels Casebook" by David Hofstede and Jack Condon, who owns more than 8,000 items associated with the series and its stars.
and its star. Castellaneta narrates the movie as Spelling, starting with his pitch to ABC executives Michael Eisner and Barry Diller, who went on to more powerful gigs in Hollywood.
On the "making of" show, Eisner tells Spelling that his pitch has to be "one of the worst ideas I've ever heard," and Diller claims no one would ever watch it.
no house would.
Undeterred, Spelling got Jackson on board first, having worked with her in the ABC series The Rookies, Fawcett-Majors and Smith were shampoo commercial veterans who had hardly acted.
veterans who take the pitch process. Eisner leaves ABC and is replaced by Fred Silverman (played in blustery fashion by Dan Lauria of The Wonder Years), who approves shooting the pilot. Spelling likes Jackson's suggestions: Call the trio angels instead of alley cats, and have them take orders over a
squawk box from a never-seen boss.
Castellaneta had never before played a character who is still alive, nor did he speak to Spelling, so he wasn't concerned about looking or sounding like the wizened, white-haired producer.
"I had to figure out what his relationship was with the angels and the network people," Castellaneta said. "He was like the man in the middle because he had to please the actresses and at the same time the network. He was an actor so he had sympathy for what actors go through. He also was a writer. He had a wide range of experience to be sympathetic."
Spelling's fatherly vibe helped when Smith, whose father was a Methodist minister, pitched a fit about her skimpy white bikini. He soothed her, saying on Monday's show, "We want our viewers riveted."
Were they ever. More than half of America's television sets tuned in on March 21, 1976, the biggest numbers at the time for an ABC pilot.
Disney executive says he will not step down despite requests
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Disney chairman and chief executive Michael Eisner defended his 20-year record with the company Wednesday as he opened the toughest annual meeting of his career, facing renewed calls from dissident ex-directors for him to step down.
Also speaking at the shareholder meeting were Stanley Gold and Roy E. Disney, former board members who have been leading a shareholder revolt against him.
"I love this company," Eisner said. "The board loves this company. And we are all passionate about the output of this company."
pany. Eisner acknowledged that the performance at Disney's ABC network was "disappointing," but he also told the shareholders that Disney has "the management skills and creative talent to continue its growth path."
"Michael Eisner must leave now," Gold said. "We see today's
Gold and Disney went slightly over the 15 minutes they were allotted to present their case against Eisner, saying it was not sufficient for the company simply to split the roles of chairman and CEO.
meeting as a first step toward saving the company. ... We are seeking real and meaningful change."
Disney is under intense pressure from state pension funds and proxy advisory firms to split the chairman and CEO jobs. It has been unwilling to do so, and as late as Tuesday, Disney board member George Mitchell defended the company's decision to name him the "presiding director" with powers to chair meetings of the board's independent members outside the presence of Eisner and other managers.
"This is a fight for our rights."
Gold told about 1,000 people Tuesday. "A fight against the tyranny of a dysfunctional management."
Eisner's re-election isn't in doubt because he is running unopposed and many large mutual funds and other institutional shareholders are likely to vote for him. A large protest vote would be unsettling for Eisner.
And several major pension funds representing millions of Disney shares have said they will withhold their approval from Eisner and several board members to press for greater board independence.
Disney has said there is no reason to replace Eisner or other managers because the company is turning around. Shares have risen more than 40 percent in the past year and the company has said earnings per share will rise 30 percent this year and by double digits through 2007.
On Tuesday, Disney's ABC Television network reported that its ratings had slipped during the critical February "sweeps" period, keeping the network in fourth place. Declining ratings at ABC has been a main point of contention for the anti-Eisner dissidents.
Robert Iger, Disney's president
and chief operating officer, Tuesday called the anti-Eisner effort "a campaign of misinformation and distortion" by the former directors.
directors.
"The fact of the matter is this is a venerable company, one that has a wonderful legacy and one we know will continue and thrive for many years to come." Iger said at the end of a dress rehearsal for the annual meeting.
Watching the action this week is cable television giant Comcast Corp.,which last month made an unsolicited bid for Disney. The Disney board unanimously rejected the offer.

Victory secures title for Kentucky
The Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. — Gene
Ald Fitch scored 23 points, includ-
ing 5-of-8 3-pointers, leading No.
9 Kentucky over Louisiana State
University 70-64 Sunday.
The victory clinched the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division title for Kentucky (21-4, 11-5).
It was the fourth straight loss for LSU (17-8, 7-7) and dropped the Tigers into a tie for No.2 in the SEC West with Alabama.
Kentucky, which defeated Tennessee by 32 points yesterday, had a tougher time against the persistent Tigers.
LSU shot 43.5 percent against Kentucky's 47 percent, but made one more 3-pointer (7-23) and went 17-of-17 from the free-throw line.
Erik Daniels scored 14 points for Kentucky and Cliff Hawkins had 13.

left heel earlier this month, was limping after practice Friday and pulled himself out of practice on Saturday.
Darrel Mitchell led LSU with 15 points, freshman Brandon Bass had 13 and Xavier Whipple added 10.
In the second half, Kentucky stretched its lead to 43-34 on a
dunk by Chuck Hayes with 15:16 remaining. The Tigers cut the lead to 45-41 on a 3-pointer by Mitchell, then watched Kentucky go on an 11-0 run to pull ahead 52-41 with 9:56 to go.
LSU struggled to get inside against the bigger Kentucky lineup. The Tigers came back to within three, 59-56, with 5:16 left. LSU's 15-6 run was fueled by nine free throws.
Both teams shot 50 percent in the first half and Kentucky held a 33-29 edge at the break.

SENIORS: Graves, Olson, Nash say goodbye to fieldhouse, play last home game as Jayhawks
—Edited by Paul Kramer

Olson joked with the crowd by thanking them for sticking around the last two minutes to watch him play.
Graves, the final senior to speak, mentioned responsibility time and again during his speech.
Graves also mentioned that some of the media have made it hard for him to do so.
Despite finding trouble sometimes during his Jayhawk career, Graves took responsibility for his actions and said he has put everything behind him.
"I'm tired of some of the media people, like Whitlock and a couple other of y'all that are always baggage me and stuff," he said. "But I think I'll just go on now."
If Graves goes on to post double-doubles like he did last postseason, the Jayhawks will welcome that with open arms.
Before the postseason begins,

Graves said that he was looking forward to matching up against preseason All-Big 12 first-team Arthur Johnson.
"I always look forward to banging with him." Graves said. "I guess you can say he's my banging pal."

VICTORY: Graves, Olson, and Nash get the start on Senior Night
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"The first dunk I went up for, some kid put his hand on the rim, so I kind of got gyped on that," Giddens said. "I guess I got them back."
Nebraska applied a full-court press late in the game, and was able to cut its deficit to 12 points with just over a minute remaining, but couldn't keep its momentum.
Graves, who scored the first six points of the game for Kansas, had two offensive rebounds in one series, and capitalized on the second with a put-back layup.
Graves was a major spark for Kansas all night, despite being in foul trouble. The senior said after the game it was the loosest he'd felt in a game all season.
"I would agree it was one of Jeff's looser nights," coach Bill Self said. "That's what you expect out of him, because those are things he can do. It's a shame he got in foul trouble, because he was on a roll."
Graves was five-for-five from the field on the night, finishing with 10 points and four rebounds in his first start since Jan. 31.
Wayne Simien led Kansas with 22 points off the bench. Brett Olson started in Simien's place for his final game in Lawrence. Giddens was the only other Jayhawk to score in double figures, recording 10 of his 13 points in the second half.
Aaron Miles had seven assists and four rebounds to go with nine points. Keith Langford continued his stretch of solid all-around outings to five with eight points, seven rebounds and a lock-down defensive performance against Nebraska's Nate Johnson.
Perhaps more important than getting revenge against the Cornhuskers was the style in which it was done.
In the first meeting, Kansas and Nebraska both pulled down 31 rebounds, but the Jayhawks
"The intentions are that we'll go about our business and certainly intend on him coming back, but I'm also a realist enough. Wayne won't say this and his parents won't say this, but you want to do what's best for Wayne's family."

only shot 36.2 percent from the floor compared to the Cornhuskers' 56.3 percent. Last night, Kansas out-rebounded Nebraska 38-25, and shot an improved 50.8 percent.
The victory may not have been sweeter for anyone than Graves. In the first meeting, he was dressed in street clothes at the end of the bench because Self had been disappointed with Graves' effort in practice.
Aside from a victory, the special revenge circumstances made it an even better finale for Graves at Allen Fieldhouse.
"I think we would have had a chance to beat them there had I been playing," Graves said. "We can't look back, but it was a nice win."
Junior guard Michael Lee tried to shoot over Nebraska's Jason Dourisseau during the second-half of last night's game in Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas Basketball Notebook
No NBA plans yet for Simien — Wayne Simien gave an emphatic "no, not a chance," when asked if last night's game was his last in Allen Fieldhouse.
"I plan on having my senior sneech next year." Simien said.
"Wayne and I have talked only briefly, and his parents and I have talked only briefly," Self said
Bill Self commended Simien for his loyalty, but does not want him to jump to conclusions. Self wants Simien to focus on matters at hand this season before looking ahead.
regarding Simien's decision following the season.
"The intentions are that we'll go about our business and certainly intend on him coming back, but I'm also a realist enough. Wayne won't say this and his parents won't say this, but you want to do what's best for Wayne's family," he said.
"Right now I don't think there's any thoughts of leaving after this year. But I will say that that is something we need to give some hardcore facts for him to make sure he feels good about a decision. Right now we don't have that, nor are we going to have that for the next month."
Scouts from the Detroit Pistons, Utah Jazz and expansion Charlotte Bobcats attended last night's game.
A David Padgett sighting
Things looked grim for freshman forward David Padgett when he sprained his ankle Sunday against Oklahoma, but he logged five minutes against Nebraska and scored two points.
He could have played more minutes if it weren't for foul trouble. Coach Self attributed Padgett's excessive fouls to not moving his feet in the post, which was a side-effect from a right foot and ankle that are both still sore.
Bench provides punch — Not to be lost in the mix were the efforts of sophomore forwards Christian Moody and Moulaye Niang. The fan favorites stepped in for the injured Padgett to play a combined 29 minutes, scoring six points and grabbing four rebounds.

3/4 Thurs. Pop Rockers
Get an early jump on your weekend activities by coming down to the Meat Market, 811 New Hampshire St., to chill out with the band Anything But Joey. This local pop-rock quartet is once again ready to woo the ladies and get the gents shaking their heads back and forth with their party-pop punk beats. This time, Anything But Joey is unplugging their amps and going acoustic. The band just recently released its latest album titled, Necessary, But Not Cool, which is the follow-up to its first album, Come Out Fighting. Both albums have broken into the commercial radio scene, becoming so popular that some songs such as, "Girl Roommate" have become No. 1 requests. Tonight's show will begin at 9 p.m. and is limited to those 21 and older. A cost has yet to be determined for this event.
3/5 Fri.
A horrific reunion
After an eight-month estrangement, (blue) will be coming together one last time at the Horror House, 1305 Tennessee St. Described by some as performance art, (blue) was one of Lawrence's most engaging bands visually, using an array of blue lights to go with its Q And Not U-influenced sound. Along with (blue) is Chicago-based Watchers, which is best-remembered for its jaw dropping performance at the now-defunct Pink House less than a year ago. Superargo will also be playing this all-ages show. A small donation to the touring band will be requested at the door.
THE WOODEN BOWLER
3/6 Sat.
The wit of William
The dude's been around for years (and no, I'm not talking about The Big Lebowski). This literary icon has written dramatic, romantic and comedic plays for everyone in the peanut gallery to enjoy. Tonight you can appreciate the genius of William Shakespeare's Love's Labour Lost at 7:30. It's your last chance to see this comedy performed at Baker University, Baldwin City, Kan., in the Rice Auditorium. The play, published in 1598, is unusual in the fact that this comedy, and earlier works of Shakespeare, does not end in marriage. So grab your single friends and be entertained by this funny tale.
3/7 Sun. Buggin' around
Check out the work of Barbara McCreery at the Olive Gallery and Art Supply, 15 E. St. McCreery's show, "Pastry Chefs and Mummies," consists of mixed media shadow boxes. Open since March 6, this quirky show features 25 to 30 pieces by the artist, Natalie Allion, Olive employee, says. McCreery, who doesn't consider herself an artist, co-owns the Weatherstaff Landscape and Design Company in Kansas City, Mo. The Kansas City Star featured her and her decorative front lawn in January. McCreery uses found objects such as bug shells to create themes or stories within each shadow box. While at the Olive, catch the Kid's Corner, which will be featuring the work of brothers Connor and Liam. "Pastry Chefs and Mummies" will be up through March 31. The gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. everyday.

Eve Ensler's award-winning play, The Vagina Monologues, is making a stop in Lawrence tonight at 7 at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. The play is a benefit show for V-Day, a nonprofit organization that raises money to stop violence against women. Tonight's performance will be one of 2000 V-Day events all over the world. V-Day has raised more than $20 million for their cause since its establishment in 1998, when Ensler first presented The Vagina Monologues to the public. Tickets for the all ages show are $10.

3/9 Tues. Ta-town author
Meet the writer of the novel Cottonwood at the Raven Bookstore, 8 E. Seventh St., tonight at 7. Scott Phillips, Wichita native, is an acclaimed crime-novel writer who gives the Midwest town props for inspiring the uniquely sordid-comic atmosphere in his books. As a man who has lived in Paris and California, his newest book connects with his Kansas roots. Cottonwood portrays the growth of a fictional Kansas frontier town in the 1870s. The main character, Bill Ogden, is a drunk and womanizer providing comic relief. The town finds trouble when a business tycoon and the railroad come to Cottonwood.

3/10 Wed. DJs fight for pride
To some people DJs are just guys who look hip and hit buttons. But the scratchin' and poppin' that goes into professional DJ-ing is an art that not many can or will ever master. KJHK'S Wax Clash is tonight at 10:30. The 18-and-over event will give you a glimpse into the madness that goes into scratching, mixing and matching beats. The DJ battle has become a tradition every year at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St., drawing people from all over the country. Breakdancers hit the floor, rappers get on the mic and DJs, of course, do the dirty work. Previous winners have gone on to record or produce albums for local hip-hop artists. If you want to know all the hype about Lawrence hip-hop, the Wax Clash will answer all your questions.

A Dose of Spring Break
Protect yourself and your friends from date rape drugs
This spring break, some students will venture off to the beaches to discover a week of drunken stupor. After purchasing a VIP wristband or discovering a local dive, it is easy to forget the dangers of spring break. Instead of sulking alone by the bar, sticking with your friends will be one of your greatest protections against different date rape drugs.
Having extra sets of eyes to watch your drinks and behavior can help you avoid date rape drugs. Bill Smith, student health services administrator at Watkins Memorial Health Center, says friends can help notice if a person is acting more intoxicated than normal. "It is important to have a designated sober person to look out for everyone else, it can be a different person every night. If something is different, then get out of the situation," says Smith.
The Office of National Drug Control Policy says the effects of Rohypnol will begin with 15 to 20 minutes of indigestion and may persist for more than 12 hours. GHB's effects will begin within 15 to 30 minutes and could last from three to six hours.
The most common advice for spring breakers is to watch their drinks and friends. Veronica Duncan, branch manager for STA Travel, says student travelers should never
The most common date rape drugs include GHB, Rohypnol and Ketamine. According to the National Drug Intelligence Center, GHB has surpassed Rohypnol as the most commonly used date rape drug. GHB and Rohypnol have symptoms of dizziness,

nausea, memory impairment and lowered blood pressure. The symptoms of both drugs are enhanced when combined with alcohol. Smith says if someone is slipped a date rape drug friends will notice strong warning signs. The person may black out or act more intoxicated than he or she normally does." They will experience feelings like light headed or tunnel vision — almost like blacking out. It is like a very intense drunkenness," Smith says. If this situation arises, he says to go immediately to the emergency room to be tested for date rape drugs and receive medical care.
drink something that they didn't watch being poured by the bartender and should constantly look out for each other. "Unfortunately, people know why students are there. They are there to party and they are there to drink. People will take advantage of it and that knowledge. Every city has a district and it could be around the corner and you may not even know it," Duncan savs.
Date rape drugs seem unheard of until they happen. An Overland Park junior, who prefers to remain anonymous, says she never thinks of it in Lawrence or other places. "I never thought about it, you read about it and never think about it until you wake up in the hospital the next day. You think your friends are watching but they're really not. They're fixing their make-up in the mirror." She was in Las Vegas to celebrate her 21st birthday and ended up in the hospital
with tracings of GHB and a $2700 hospital bill. She had consumed only two drinks. The incident hasn't stopped her from traveling, but it has changed her view on it. She says when she is in Cancun for spring break she will pay more attention to who she is around, where she sets her drink and the behavior of her friends.
student travelers should never be by themselves on spring break. Anyone travel by themselves, even from the bar to the hotel. Especially men should not be traveling by themselves."

My boyfriend always tells his friends about our sex life. It makes me feel really uncomfortable around all of them. How can I get him to stop?
- Debbie, freshman
Elizabeth: Tell your blabbermouth boyfriend to keep quiet! Explain to him that the intimacy that the two of you share is private, between the two of you, and you would appreciate if it stayed that way, thank-you-much.
?
Chris: Are you trying to pretend like you've never talked to your girls about how he is in bed? No one likes a hypocrite.
QA
My six girlfriend goes to a different school and she's going to be in Lawrence this weekend. I really want to hook up with her, but my girlfriend will freak out. Should I do it anyway?
Chris: If your girlfriend finds out, she'll freak out. And you're an idiot.
Elizabeth: Despite any sound advice or suggestions that I may offer you, my guess is that you will probably go ahead and hook up with your ex. Seriously consider the possible repercussions of your actions, and proceed at your own risk, or detriment. Be forwarned that you will hurt your girlfriend far more than you realize. Is it really worth it?

Elizabeth: If you want to get some action on spring break you'll need to be a little more aggressive than usual, there will be tons of other guys looking to hook up besides you. But there will more than likely be plenty of opportunities, just be sure that you're prepared and safe when you do.
?
Chris: Because you're asking that question, I have a feeling you won't need to worry about hooking up. If you're going to Panama City, Cancun, South Padre island or some other party town, it won't be very hard to hook up. As long as you are social and talk to girls you'll be fine. But remember, although "whatever happens in [Insert party town here] stays there," your fresh case of genital warts will be a lifelong souvenir. Have fun!

Jessaca Massey, Jayplay writer
Give it up. It won't fit. No matter how many heavy weights you get to sit on your suitcase, it will not yield to the amount of junk jammed into its depths. Besides leaving behind the other half of the closet, traveling means that we must also part with our dear consumer electronic companions. It wouldn't be possible to shove that new flatscreen TV or DVD recorder into the jumble. Lucky for us, the electronic industry has provided a couple savvy and small ideas that make it easier to take our technology on the road.
Tara Dunion, director of communications for the Consumer Electronics Association in Arlington, Va. , says products are getting smaller and portable, now there are more options available."The trend is to create the Swiss Army knife of electronics," Dunion says. It seems Archos has done that exactly.
Archos of Irvine, Calif. has merged the biggest techie needs of our time to create an all-in-one dream machine. The Archos Cinema-to-Go is a portable video and audio recorder and player. The Cinema-to-Go has an array of functions and features techie maniacs only dream about buying in one product. Its size will get to you as well. Much smaller than a laptop, the Cinema-to-Go is comparable to a larger size handheld, only with more capabilities.
The Cinema-to-Go allows you to record video from any source, including your computer, TV, DVD player or VCR. Available in a 20-, 40- or 80-gigabyte hard drive, the Cinema-to-Go can record up to 80 hours of video. The best feature about this little guy: You can watch what you record on its screen anytime you want anywhere you go. The Cinema-to- Go sports a 3.8-inch color LCD screen with near DVD-quality playback and MP3 sound quality.
Don't want to carry both an MP3 player and the Cinema-to-Go? You don't have to because it also stores and replays your favorite tunes. Samantha Steinwinder, PR spokesperson for Archos, uses hers to store and view her family photos. She says the Cinema-to-Go is perfect for consumers who have an abundance of media content. The Cinema-to-Go can hold 400,000 digital photos, 2,000 hours of MP3 audio, 4,000 hours of voice recordings and 40 gigabytes of data. You can also purchase the optional AVCam 300 to produce and record your own movies directly onto this portable gizmo. Talk about the primo package.
Forget Zip disks, MP3 players, digital cameras, televisions, DVD players and VCRs. This gadget covers it all. Unfortunately, this dream machine carries a price most people or small businesses would find hard to swallow. Thinkgeek.com sells the Cinema-to-Go for $499.99 for the 20 gigabyte hard drive, $639.99 for the 40 gigabyte and $899.99 for the 80 gigabyte hard drive.
Jamie Servaes says the Cinema-to-Go sounds like an item that would come in handy for her line of work. Servaes, a web developer for CNS, Inc. in St. Joseph, Mo., and Atchison, Kan., says despite the great features of the Cinema-to-Go, the asking price is out of reach. "The market is limited by the price. I would give it a couple years, then I think the price will be more reasonable," she says. The price tag may not be the only thing holding back interested buyers. Despite its potential, the tiny screen may not provide optimal viewing.
If you want a boob tube with a bigger screen, check out the Virgin Pulse 10-inch flatscreen/DVD combo. The total package size: 16.5 inches wide, 15.5 inches tall and 5 inches thick. Not to shabby for a television that also has a digital AM/FM radio tuner and plays MP3s — a perfect size for road trips and tailgating parties. Virgin also created a nifty carrying case so it can be strapped down while on the go. This telly is also wall mountable, so allow your creative juices to flow when you think about the possibilities of places to hang this piece of modern art. The perfect place: the loo; you never know when you might need some company in the bathroom. It, too, may be outside your budget, so it's a good idea to start saving now. Target.com sells this portable for $499.99.
These tiny gadgets don't sport tiny price tags, but maybe if we follow Servaes' advice and wait it out, we'll be rewarded by smaller prices. Maybe by then Archos will have expanded their Cinema-Go to include wireless Internet capabilities. Now that would be the ultimate dream machine.

Breakin' the Law How to keep your cowboys out of the open saloon by throwing a legal house party
By Elizabeth Marvel, Jayplay writer
Friday, 11 p.m. Somewhere on Tennessee St.
Friday, 11 p.m. Somewhere on Tennessee You excitedly walk up the front walkway and attempt to squeeze through the teeming mass of people loudly chatting on the front porch.
the teering mass of people loudly chatting on the front porch. "Raging party, eh?" someone asks you. "The keg's in back. Have fun," the kid says before he sauntters off. Another weekend in the student ghetto begins as you pump a beer from the frosty keg on the back porch. Just as you finish filling your cup, a shout is heard above the crowd.
The word sends the party into a panic as underage drinkers toss their cups to the ground. More conscientious drinkers hide their cups behind books, lamps and in bathroom cabinets.
This unfortunate scenario doesn't have to happen at your next house party. By following a few simple tips, you can prevent the police from breaking up your next soirée.
Learning from past experiences has made Meredith Vacek take precautions when throwing parties at the Horror House, 13th and Tennessee streets. "We are very careful about the way we do our parties," Vacek says. "We've learned from the mistakes that other house venues have made in the past."
In the mistakes that other students have made, the Lawrence senior has been throwing parties for art shows, dance parties
[COPS!]
Junior has been throwing parties for art shows, dance parties and rock shows at the Horror House since the beginning of the school year. Her parties have been largely successful through word-of-mouth promotion and each event has drawn a few hundred people.
Vacek says that she employs a doorman
and that she and her roommates require people to bring their own alcohol. This way they aren't held responsible for contributing to underage drinkers. Though she takes these precautions, she says she doesn't really worry about what may happen at her parties. Most people who attend her parties aren't coming to cause trouble.
Jason Rebacz, Deerfield, Ill., junior, regularly throws smaller parties and doesn't worry about the legality of his gatherings. "It's not possible to know what's going on all the time because you're going to have people come that you just don't know," Rebacz says "It's just too hard to control a large group like that."
Without regulating who comes to your party, many problems could arise such as loud noise and people puking in your house. But underage drinking could get you into bigger trouble than a crusty carpet stain. According to Kansas law, if you get caught drinking underage the maximum penalty for 18-to 20-year-olds is one month in jail, 40 hours of community service, a 30-day suspension of your license, and a $200 (or more) fine. For violators under 16, the penalties are the same except for a minimum $500 fine.
Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department says officers don't usually come to parties with the sole purpose of breaking them up. Usually, there is some complaint involved. Typical complaints include excessive noise such as loud music and yelling; clogged roadways from inappropriate and illegal parking; and dirty streets and lawns from leftover party trash. Patrick suggests students read city ordinances before they throw a party, so they know what is and isn't legal. He says that if you keep the volume of a party down, police aren't likely to be called.
If you decide to serve alcohol at your party, beware of making people pay to drink it. If the police do come to a party on a noise complaint and have reason to enter the property, you must make sure that you've only asked for donations from your guests. If you're charging them, your party is considered an open saloon, and it's illegal. You must hold a license to sell alcohol or you will be fined. Also remember that you can't ask for money to buy the cup (instead of the bear) either. It's an open saloon because beer is going into that cup.
Instead of asking people to pay for beer, ask for donations, or ask your guests to pay for the entertainment. Whether it's a band or a DJ, most people won't hesitate to throw down a couple of bucks.After a night of donations you'll probably make your money back.

DO know the city's ordinances. This can prevent all kinds of problems with the police if you make sure you don't do anything obviously illegal.
Party dos and don'ts
DO get rid of people who are causing problems.
DO ask for donations for the party/band/DJ instead of making people pay for alcohol. If not, your party is an open saloon.
DO know your neighbors,and let them know ahead of time if you're going to throw a party.
DON'T make a ton of noise. The neighbors can easily pick up the phone and call the police.
DON'T tear the tag off of your keg. The ABC or Lawrence Police Department can fine you $250 to $500 if they confiscate it.
DON'T let underage people drink alcohol that can be traced back to you—like from the keg you purchased.
DON'T let the police enter your house without legal reason. They must see illegal activities happening or have a warrant to enter.

Sit back, relax and deliver
your self-consciousness
I sat nervously in the chair, my palms were sweating and I was breathing heavily. Carol Henderson, owner of New Day Hypnotherapy in Roeland Park, told me to relax and look at a blue glass mobile hanging from the ceiling. She counted to 10 and with each number I was instructed to slowly close my eyes and open them again. There's no way this is going to work, I thought to myself. But when she got to eight my eyes were so heavy I could barely open them. After 10, I kept my eyes closed. Henderson visually took me through a garden filled with small ponds, stone statues and orange tiger lilies. I walked down a path that led me to the ocean. I took off my shoes
and waded through the cool water, the sand sticking in between my toes. My body was completely relaxed and it felt like there were 10-pound weights tied to my arms and legs. I could have moved them if I wanted to, but I had never felt a relaxation quite like this.
Henderson's voice asked me to go back to a happy time when I was 5. I heard Henderson ring a chime in the distance and my head started to spin. Slowly I saw an image of my best friend in kindergarten. We were neighbors. It was the first time that we ever met. She stood on her side of the fence and I stood on mine. It seemed like I was really there. I could see her crooked teeth, her tomboy haircut, her yellow and white striped shirt and jean shorts, all details that I couldn't remember for the life of me before this session. Henderson told me to turn around and face my house. I saw the back porch. Funny, I thought. My dad tore that porch down not that long after I finished kindergarten. Henderson's voice came back, instructing me to go back to a past-life. Another chime rang and I was whisked away to a scene that was filled with swirling dust. A covered wagon was off in the distance. I was told to explain what I looked like. I somehow traveled outside of my body and stood face-

to-face with myself. I had blue eyes and blond hair, quite the contrast from my dark hair and eyes in this lifetime. I wore a pink dress and bonnet. I was told to go to my funeral on the prairie to find out how I died. In a small shack with wood floors I could see my frail body in a rough open casket. I suddenly knew I had died of some kind of horrible disease in my early twenties. Henderson asked me what this disease was, but I couldn't identify it. About 40 people showed up to my funeral. And then as suddenly as all of this began, I woke up.
When most people think about being hypnotized, they think of a sideshow or a comedy act. Contrary to popular belief, the phrases "You are getting very sleepy" and "When you wake up you're going to quack like a duck every time I clap" are never uttered in a hypnotist's office. Hypnosis is the soothing process of directing subconscious thought toward patterns of healthy living, says Cynthia Morgan, hypnotherapist at DoubleMoon Hypnotherapy, 2104 E. West 25th St.
Hypnosis is a common technique for those who are trying to lose weight, quit smoking, heal past experiences, cure phobias, eliminate anxiety, gain motivation or stop insomnia. A hypnotherapist is a hypnotist who specializes in examining these issues and aids in the healing process. Because the mind controls the body, Morgan says the only way to change parts of our lives is to change our mindset. By entering the mind through hypnosis, a hypnotherapist can reprogram a client's negative thoughts to help alter his or her lifestyle.
In a state of hypnosis, your subconscious — the source of your feelings and emotions --- dominates your conscious. Everyone experiences hypnosis daily. Anytime you stare at one location for more than 10 seconds, otherwise known as daydreaming, you are in the first stage of hypnosis. The hypnagogic level, the period right before sleep, where your brain is still active and your muscles tend to spasm, is known as the deepest level of hypnosis. Linda Gentry, owner and founder of the Missouri Institute of Hypnotherapy in Warrensburg, Mo., explains hypnosis as trying to reprogram a computer. Gentry says our subconcious rejects words such as "will," "try," "maybe" and "diet," so a hypnotherapist's job is to try to erase those words from a client's vocabulary. For instance, if you've been telling yourself that you will try and go on a diet, Gentry will tell you to simply decrease your food intake. Hypnosis only works on those who are 100-percent committed to changing their behavior. So if a wife forces her husband to go to a hypnotist to stop smoking and he's not ready to quit, he can shut out all of the hypnotic suggestions and the process will not work.
Every hypnotist has different methods for achieving the state of hypnosis. Harley Sears, hypnotherapist and owner of the Jinsei Center in Kansas City, Mo., says because every client is different, hypnotherapists should not limit themselves to only one method, but should instead combine techniques based on the client's needs. Before being put under hypnosis, the hypnotherapist will interview the client in order to determine which technique is best for them. The hypnotherapist will write down key phrases that the client uses frequently in conversation. They can plant these phrases in the subconscious later, making the process more personable to the client. This time is also a chance for the hypnotherapist to examine if the client's situation is extreme enough to be in need of medical attention. Morgan says if a client comes to a hypnotherapist looking for a past rape experience to be erased from their memory, the hypnotherapist should refer the client to a specialist.
One type of hypnosis is a self-help technique that can be taught to clients to perform at home. During my initial interview with Henderson, I told her that I was afraid of heights. While I pressed various acupuncture points, I was told to repeat "Even though I'm afraid of heights, I totally love and accept myself," three times while envisioning a time when I was afraid of heights. At the beginning of the exercise I could see myself climbing up the St. Louis Gateway Arch when I was in second grade. Each little jerk of the car made me tremble at the thought that at any moment I could plunge to my death. By the last pressure point, the memory was barely recognizable. Henderson says this exercise can be practiced to release cravings, doubt, guilt, pain, stress or fear. She does warn that this exercise only gets rid of one particular instance of that feeling of fear, so while my fear of the Arch has been cured, my fear of flying has not.
Another technique is regression therapy, which is the type of hypnosis that I experienced when I went back to past memories. Henderson says in hypnotherapy, all of the memories a person possesses are involved. A hypnototherapist can tell a client to travel back to the time when the weight gain, smoking, phobias or insomnia first occurred. The hypnototherapist can then plant suggestions that will improve the problem in the subconscious. The hypnototherapist first takes the client on mind trips, such as to a garden or the beach, in order to get to the deepest form of relaxation. Some people can hear everything in this setting, including the waves and birds chirping, while other people, such as myself, just see the images. After the client is relaxed, the hypnototherapist gets to the root of the problem by taking them back to past memories.
Another form of regression therapy is past-life regression therapy, which is what I went through when I was taken back to the prairie. Morgan says past-life regression is useful when the root of the client's problem lies within his or her beliefs that may have been carried with them from another lifetime. Henderson says she once had a client that had a pain in his stomach a doctor couldn't diagnose. When Henderson hypnotized him to go back to the first day of the pain, the client went back to a past life in which he drank poison. When brought back to the present, he was healed. Henderson says it is possible that the subconscious makes up the story, but the truth about past-life regression remains a mystery to hypnotherapists.
Another technique involves simply substituting a bad habit with something healthier. Dave Aycock, vice president of investments at UBS Financial Services in Overland Park, had been a smoker for 20 years. When his mother developed lung cancer in October, she begged him to quit. Aycock had seen a special on the television show 20/20 about how hypnosis was used for weight loss and figured the same could be done for smoking. Aycock went to Sears for hypnotherapy and cut his smoking in half after the first session. He says he had such a desire to quit for his mother that planting the suggestions to his subconscious was easy. Sears replaced Aycock's craving for cigarettes with a cravings for water so he wouldn't constantly eat to subdue the cravings. While Aycock says he still had to resist some cravings, he quit smoking completely after two sessions. He says that hypnotheraphy was so effective that he wants to go back for eating and sleeping issues.
Being hypnotized feels like a massage, you are deeply relaxed. Henderson compares the experience to being at a movie. "My husband and I went to a movie the

other day and he said after the movie, 'It sounded like the girl in front of us was going to be sick'. And I said, "What are you talking about?" I was so engrossed in the movie that I didn't notice the girl that was sitting directly in front of us," she says. The same goes for hypnosis. During my session I was so relaxed and focused on what Henderson was telling me to do. I didn't notice the construction workers hammering in the room next door. When coming out of a hypnotic state, the client remembers everything that occurred during hypnosis. Another common misconception is that it is possible to get stuck in hypnosis. Henderson says that experiments have been conducted to see what would happen if a hypnotherapist left a client in a hypnotic state and never came back. She says the clients eventually aroused themselves and went home without any harm being done. Because the client is in control during the session, he or she has the power to "wake up" at any time during the hypnosis process.
Even though a client may be safe in this situation, finding a hypnotherapist that you trust is key. According to the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, a state license is not required in every state to perform hypnotherapy. According to Missouri law, permits are only issued to psychologists, registered nurses and clergy. In Kansas, however, the only restriction prohibits hypnosis for entertainment
purposes. Kansas law states that the club owner, the hypnotist and those who participate and allow themselves to be hypnotized will be charged a $50 fine and a misdemeanor will be placed on each individual's record. This law was a revision of a 1965 law that defined hypnosis as "a condition of altered attention, frequently involving a condition of increased selective suggestibility brought by an individual through the use of certain physical or psychological manipulations of one person by another." Some hypnotists avoid this law by calling themselves "mentalists" instead.
The society says there are two types of hypnotists: lay hypnotists, people who are trained in hypnosis but lack a professional health care background, and licensed health care professionals, people who have seven to nine years of university training plus additional internships. The society suggests running a background check on the hypnotherapist to make sure the person is licensed — not certified — in the field; certification can be received after only two days of training at some hypnosis institutes. It also says to investigate what degree the hypnotherapist holds. If he or she does not have a health-care-related degree, the person is probably a lay hypnotist.
Gentry, who is a registered nurse, says to also make sure the hypnotherapist provides individual hypnosis sessions that cater to your particular needs. Michael Doane, Atlanta, Ga., resident, says that hypnosis made him physically ill. Doane was a heavy smoker. When he was living in Santa Barbara, Calif., he saw an ad in the newspaper that said a hypnotist was going to be doing a group session to help quit smoking. Doane says that during the hypnosis everything went according to

plan. He went under hypnosis, received suggestions and came out of the state thinking that everything had worked. "In less than 24 hours I was a basketcase," Doane says. Within five hours after he woke up the next day, the effects had worn off and he felt agitated and ill. Doane's son, Guillaume, says he came home from school that day to find his dad sitting in a chair staring blankly at the television. Guillaume, a Jayplay reporter and Kansan copy editor, says his dad pleaded with his mother to give him back all of the cigarettes she had hidden. Doane says this was his last hypnosis experience and he is still a smoker. Gentry says that sessions are not helpful because it is hard to hold more than four or five people under hypnosis at a time. She says that when she hypnotizes a group it is difficult to give one person the individual attention they need for their particular situation. Gentry also says that it is almost impossible to get rid of the habit in one group session because traces of the habit will pop up on daily occurrences. She says the average amount of sessions to alter a client's subconscious is three.
It's now been two weeks since my hypnosis experience and I can still remember every detail vividly, even though Henderson warned me the memories would fade over time. I've played around with the self-help technique for getting over my fear of flying, but I won't know if it works until I take my next trip. The next step: teckling my fear of elevators. Until then, when I board an elevator I hold my breath and pray that one day a sense of calm will rush over me instead of that awful feeling of entrapment.

How to avoid getting screwed when planning your spring break travel plans
For those looking for some fun in the sun this spring break, you don't want to end up like a past KU spring breaker with your face smushed against the dirty, dingy, stained Mazatlan, Mexico airport carpet.
Maggie Hodsen, Prairie Village senior, had just finished a week of partying her freshman year when she and 30 travel companions found themselves stranded at the Mazatlan, Mexico airport. The chartered flight that was scheduled to bring in another group of spring break revelers and fly Hodsen and her friends home couldn't land because of dense fog. After a day of delays, representatives from Hodsen's travel agency, Student Travel Services, were nowhere to be found when it came time to bed down for the night. They ended up sleeping on the airport's floor.
After more delays the next day, representatives from the travel agency appeared and shuttled the group back to a hotel. Hodsen and her buddies got one last night to party, as the flight never landed that day either.
"I kept thinking to myself What a great way to end a perfect week,'" Maggie Hodsen says.
Although she had some trouble getting home, Hodsen is impressed with the way the travel agency handled the situation. She's using it again for her this trip this year to Jamaica.
Airport delays and weary travelers are a given at spring break time because of the number of people on their way to drunken fun in the sun, say travel professionals. But there are a few things that you can do to keep from getting stranded.
There are many reputable travel companies out there but there are a few who aren't, so do a background check on your potential tour company before you buy your tickets. A good travel company will be a member of the Better Business Bureau, says Nils Dennis, owner of Spring Break Direct.com based in Ellicott City, Md. Spring Break Direct deals only with spring break tours and advertises on the Internet through search engines like Yahoo and Google. The bureau offers an online membership to Internet companies, which requires them to agree to an online code of ethics that requires complete truth in advertising, Dennis says. Members of the online bureau can't use terms like "best trips" or "biggest company" to lure potential travelers. Some companies claim to be a member of the bureau but aren't or are in bad standing, so check up on the claims that your potential tour company makes.
Shop around to find the best tour package that fits your needs and shop early. To get the best deals to hot destinations like Acapulco, Cancun, Mazatlan and Jamaica you should have bought your ticket last September, says Mark Devorak, Midwest regional vice president for Student City, a spring break tour company based in Peabody, Mass. If you aren't one of these early planners, you can still probably find a decent package, but be willing to shell out some extra cash. An average spring break package will cost between $750 and $950 depending on your
ns
destination. And if that deal looks a little too good to be true — be leery, Devorak says. "There is no way that one company can sell the same basic trip for $200 cheaper than another company," he says.
If you're not looking for trip focused on drinking, try calling local travel agents to see what other type of deals are out there — Kristy Johnson did. Johnson, Lawrence senior shopped around and found a travel agent who she was comfortable giving her money to. She wasn't looking for the typical spring break packages that companies such as Student Travel Services and Student City were offering. "Since I'm an older college student, I'm not quite the 'party until 4 a.m. 18-year-old, sleep-two-hours-and-them-go-at-it-again,' [type] " she says. Johnson chose a hotel all-inclusive package, which includes meals and drinks at the hotel's six restaurants and seven bars. Johnson's travel agent has assured her that there will be plenty of college-aged spring breakers at her resort, not just families with small children.
For most students, the hotel all-inclusive is a waste of money, Student City's Devorak says. People don't take advantage of the package because the free food and drinks are only offered at their specific hotel. Instead he suggests going with a spring break allinclusive which offers meals and drinks at several restaurants and bars at your final destination. Want to spice up the trip? Other excursions can be added to your package like booze cruises where groups of spring breakers are boated onto the water in large boats, along with alcohol and snorkeling expeditions.
Sometimes it's just nice to see a friendly face in the drunken crowd — even if it is a representative from your tour company. During the Acapulco trip, Hodsen's friend cut her leg from the back of her knee to her butt on a piece of sharp metal while climbing over a chair in a crowded bar. An Student Travel Services representative was there in the bathroom to help bandage the bleeding limb so the girls could keep partying. "Crazy things can go down — especially if it's a group of girls," says Hodsen. "They keep an eye out on you."

Monday nights at the Jazzhaus By Kevin Kampwirth. Jayplay writer
photo: Abby Tillery
Walking down the sidewalk not knowing any better, you'd probably miss it all together. The doorway - a four-foot wide passage crammed between two other establishments provides little, if any, clue as to what lies behind the door. The address has a fraction in it for God's sake.
One night out of every week it's not as easy to miss. If you're within a twoblock radius of this doorway, you'll undoubtedly hear music spilling out to the streets and sidewalks. Follow the sounds to 926 1/2 Massachusetts St. and you'll find the Jazzhaus.
It'll be Monday, also known as Open Jam Night.
For dozens of Lawrence-area musicians whose musical talents would otherwise go unnoticed, Monday nights at the Jazzhaus are a release. Anyone is welcome — guitarists, drummers, bassists or singers. Scott Welch, Overland Park freshman and guitarist, says he wouldn't miss open-mic night
for any reason. "I'm sick as hell right now and have an 8 a.m. class tomorrow, but I'm here," Welch says.
The draw for Welch, like many others, is that there's a house band to play with called The Spanktones. Just bring your instrument, or voice, and you're in the band — if just for one night. Although open-mic night tends to attract mostly guitarists and drummers, there are those rare few who show up just to sing. Summer Jasper, Lawrence resident, is one of them. As she sits at a table in front of the stage, waiting for her turn to perform, she can't help but be nervous. "I'm scared shitless right now," Jasper says. "But it's worth it. It's the rush of the stage."
Several other bars in Lawrence offer open-mic nights, The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., and the Bella Lounge, 925 Iowa St., are just a couple. But the Jazzhaus' open-mic night seems to be the most popular. It also offers an acoustic open-mic night on Wednesday. Welch says the fact that there are always people in the bar is a big contributor to the crowd. He says that places like The Bottleneck don't really draw in crowds for open-mic night because of its large size, whereas the Jazzhaus offers a more intimate setting and has a good following.
Monday nights at the Jazzhaus can almost be considered a sub-culture. The same people show up to perform every Monday with a few new additions every now and then. "It's addicting," says Brian Sifton Lawrence resident, a drummer who frequents the Monday open-mic. "Everybody knows each other and supports each other." Michael Hamm, guitarist for The Spanktones and Lawrence resident, agrees. He says that since there are so many musicians in Lawrence, Monday nights at the Jazzhaus gives those people who aren't in bands a chance to be part of the music culture.
For most of the open-mic regulators, it's still about one thing: the chance to express themselves while doing what they love.

THE WEEKLY EXPRESS
[Image of a person playing the saxophone].
A long flight of stairs takes you to the actual bar. A woman sits by the door and checks I.D.s and asks for $2. "Cover, to pay the house band," she explains. There's a list on the bar next to the entrance. It has time slots printed on it in 20-minute intervals. The first few slots are empty, the later ones fill up faster. The bar is dimly-lit. Candles on every table provide the main source of light. You order a drink, sit down at the bar and look around. The nervous faces are apparent. Some have a guitar case next to them. Some, drumsticks.
After the house band plays a few songs, a man steps up to the microphone. "Scott Welch, could we get Scott Welch up here?" A kid wearing jeans, a T-shirt and a baseball cap eagerly makes his way towards the stage, electric guitar in hand. He plugs in and confers with the band. He faces the crowd and begins to riff out the intro to Jimi Hendrix's "Hey Joe." Two minutes later, doing his best Hendrix impersonation mid-solo, he brings the guitar up to his face and begins to play with his teeth. The crowd erupts.
Actually, he's sick as hell and has class at eight in the morning. Up on stage though, eyes shut tight, that's the last thing on his mind.

Muy Caliente!
Latin music and salsa dancing revived in Lawrence, and in a place you least expected. By Mike Bauer, Jayplay writer
It's Friday at Maracas, sometime past 11:30 p.m. Latin music blasts through a PA system from the DJ's booth at the front of a dark room. The only light in the room is above the DJ's booth, the bar in back and two pool tables at the side of the room. In front of the DJ are dozens of people salsa dancing. Some are also hanging out by the bar, either waiting for friends or trying to get enough tequila flowing in their bloodstreams so their hips may flow freely. Scarface is playing with Spanish subtitles on a large television screen behind the bar.
Sounds like a typical night for a Latin nightclub, all right, until you realize that you're in The Pool Room, 925 Iowa St. You do a double take of your surroundings. Is this really the same place that, two days prior to Maracas, locals and college students went to play a game or two of pool? Can a bar like The Pool Room successfully hold the Latin dance night Maracas in a side room of their bar?
The answer is yes.
Frank Terreros had the idea for Maracas after La Tasca closed a couple years ago. Terreros opened Maracas on

Jan. 30 in the side room of The Pool Room to see if the event would draw a large enough crowd to make the event a regular feature. "The turnout was unbelievable more than The Pool Room or I expected. We're definitely keeping it," Terreros says. Part of Maracas' success could be attributed to DJ, Danny Tetuan, aka DJ Jalepeno. "He gets all the best music from Miami and Chicago," Terreros says. Terreros has known DJ Jalepeno since his days at the bars Coco Loco and La Tasca, which are now out of business. Terreros says a lot of people come to Maracas because of Jalepeno's reputation. Most of the music played at Maracas is Latin music, but there is also hip-hop and electronic music. During these songs the crowd takes a break from salsa dancing and dances freely with each other. Terreros loves the diversity of the crowds he's seen so far; there aren't only Latinos coming to dance, there are also international students. Terreros says a big response has also come from the dance clubs on campus.
Kyle Simmons, who works the door, has seen different types of people checking out Maracas since its opening. "You don't have to be Latin to enjoy this," Simmons says.
Stephani Crawford, a Native American, has known Terreros for 10 years. She's been coming to Maracas because of their friendship and because she enjoys salsa dancing in Lawrence, not in Kansas City or Topeka. This was a place for her to go in town after La Tasca closed. She likes the open dance space and the music better than La Tasca's, she says. She also helps set up fliers for Maracas in Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka and Olathe. She says many of her fellow Haskell University students come to Maracas.
Anurag Pant, a graduate business student, has been coming to Maracas since its opening. He likes that it is closer to the dorms on campus than La Tasca's downtown location was.
Maracas is held every Friday night starting at 10. Cover charge is $8 for 18 and over, $5 for 21 and over.

Blonde Redhead Misery is a Butterfly
Blonde Redhead has created another record of a moody, bittersweet indie-pop in the tradition of the band's last record, the dramatically quiet, Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons. Their earlier attempts were a mixture of Sonic Youth noise and early 80's no-wave influence.
Grade: C+
Misery is a Butterfly adds orchestrated sprinkles to its newest formula of sound but Blonde Redhead is not as adventurous as before and the material might seem all too familiar. The reclusive nature of the songs might be more difficult to digest than their last album but are lush and disturbed, for better or for worse.
Chris Knudsen, KJHK DJ Fridays, 2 a.m. to 4 a.m.
Twista Kamikaze
Chicago's finest incorporates an adrenaline rush from the instant of the first beat. The tracks on Kamikaze are reminiscent of sounds from his classic first album, Adrenaline Rush. He speeds through verses more like a machine than a man, keeping his lyrics very understandable and interesting. Twista accents his speedy delivery by going against many of the fast tempo tracks and by creating the rhythm for many of the tracks. Twista delivers creative, witty flows with a lot of thought and direction. He hails premier MCs on all tracks, with guest appearances from 8 Ball, Too Short, Cee-Lo, Memphis Bleek, Anthony Hamilton and more.
His guest list seems a bit lengthy but the guests compliment the album well and they do not outshine (or outrhyme) Twista. Production is equally exceptional. The majority of the album is produced by newcomer Toxic, but it also boasts joints from mega producers such as: Kanye West, R. Kelly, Jazze Pha, etc. This effort is well put together.
Grade: B
The Bens
(Ben Folds, Ben Kweller, and Ben Lee) The Bens
— Billy "Clint," host of "Hip Hop Hype!!!"
Saturdays, 9 p.m. to midnight
The schedules of Ben Folds, Ben Lee, and Ben Kweller brought them to Fold's studio in Nashville last year, resulting in a "Benvention" of sorts. The EP is heterogeneous, making it high in entertainment but lacking in flow.
Grade: B-
The ghosts of Crosby, Stills and Nash are heard on the opening track, "Just Pretend." "XFIRE" is one part Spinal Tap, two parts '80s new wave. The highlight is Folds' ballad combined with backing vocals from Lee and Kweller on "Bruised." My complaint is that there are only four songs (and that Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie was not included in The Bens.)
— Casey Thornburgh, KJHK DJ Tuesdays, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Octavius
Audio Noir
The apocalypse is here, but the good news is it sounds fantastic. For Octavius' debut album this hip-hop producer blends the eerie ambience of a Sci-Fi feature with the jagged rock sounds that echo from smoke-filled nightclubs. As Octavius incorporates hip-hop and rock along with a host of other genres such as progressive electronica, he also creates an album with vigorously daunting songs such as "Cellophane" that bubble beneath the surface of peaceful tunes like "Surprisingly Concerned with One Another." Audio Noir is best suited for a late night drive through a thunder storm. Although, it also works if you're just wanting to experience one.

The sharp ring of the doorbeli filled the house as I opened the front door. A wisp of cool air caressed my cheek as my childhood friend Michelle, stepped into the entryway. She turned towards me with bright eyes and the hint of a smile and quickly lifted up her left hand. I looked, and a clear, sparkling diamond stared back at me. Her boyfriend Andy had finally popped the question. I gave the girl who used to dump snow cones down my back at the swimming pool snack bar an enormous hug and asked for all of the details.
As I lay in bed later that night I stared into the blackness thinking, "there goes number three." My three closest friends are all getting married within the next year. I will have to buy three bridesmaid dresses, watch as three of the people I care most about in this world embrace their lifelong partners and accept the fact that no one will be waiting at home to hug me in my beautiful new dresses.
I was happy for my friends because they were all lucky enough to find someone they truly loved, but I felt lost. My boyfriend and I had recently broken up. Though I rarely admitted it, deep down I thought that he was my soulmate and that we would get married someday. After our painful split I started to go through a spell where I felt sorry for myself. I knew plenty of girls enjoyed being single. I also knew I might meet other men that I would want to date. But instead I felt empty and alone.
A few days after Michelle announced her engagement, I left my home in Kansas and headed to Washington, D.C., for a two-week internship at the American Bankers Association. The weather was surprisingly warm for January, so I was able to spend the majority of my first weekend sightseeing outdoors. During my first afternoon in D.C. I walked around downtown. As I approached the White House, I noticed bright orange cones and police officers blocking off a large portion of the road and sidewalk in front of the lawn. Hundreds of people lingered nearby, staring at the president's home. I stopped to take a picture and see what the commotion was about. It turns out everyone was looking at a large, greenish-brown helicopter. I couldn't believe it. On my first day in D.C. I saw the president's helicopter take off from the White House lawn! The exciting atmosphere of the city overwhelmed me.
My internship at the association started on Monday and kept me busy with challenging projects. I spent two weeks writing articles about issues concerning bankers, editing a newspaper, discussing the financial education of college students and meeting interesting people.
One afternoon, toward the end of my two weeks, I sat in my gray cubicle staring absentmindedly at my computer screen. Despite the seemingly drab surroundings, I felt happy and contented for the first time in months.I realized that I had fallen in love with the city, that I enjoyed working and that nothing could prevent me
from coming back after I graduated in May. Suddenly, not having a boyfriend seemed like a good thing. I could move wherever I wanted because I didn't have someone else's future to worry about. My engaged friends couldn't just pick up and move if a job opened up in a different city — their future husbands would have to find work there, too. They wouldn't have the opportunity that I had to pursue their dreams without worrying about someone else's needs.
That day I stopped mourning my broken heart. I stopped
That day I stopped mourning my broken heart. I stopped comparing my life to the direction of my friends' lives. Instead, I started embracing the chances I have. I am moving to Washington, D.C., in May, and I am proud to say that I am going alone.

IN ITS 100TH YEAR AS THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Vol.114 Issue No.107
Murguia's gone but University continues its lobbying efforts
By Anna Clovis aclovis@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The lobbying must go on
Two months after announcing her departure from the University of Kansas, Janet Murgua's office in Strong Hall is empty. Everything she brought with her is back in Washington, D.C., where it came from two and a half years ago.

Murgia recently left the University to become the new executive director of the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic-American lobbying group. During her tenure Murgia was criticized by some for having a high salary and an unnecessary position. Others praised her for her work on an integrated marketing campaign and contributions to the HispanicAmerican community.

Hispanic group to push immigration bills

Some Hispanic-American students will drop their books and transform into lobbyists today.
lobbyists today. Members from the Hispanic American Leadership Organization will go to Topeka to take part in Hispanic Day on the Hill. The event will draw members of the organization from other universities such as Kansas State and Washburn University, as well as other Latino groups across the state. They will all go to the Capitol to lobby for issues affecting the Hispanic-American community.
Victor Aguilar, Dodge City freshman and vice president of HALO, said the group's goal was to influence state-law-makers' decisions.
Two bills that HALO will be lobbying
"It's especially important now because there are a lot of Hispanic issues going on in the state and nationally," he said.
"They need to get from place to place, so they will drive anyways. If they don't have insurance, it is really dangerous."
Andrea Pantoja Mission junior and HALO president
for are the Immigrant Tuition Bill and the Driver's Licenses for Illegal Aliens Bill.
The Immigrant Tuition Bill would give undocumented Kansas students the right to in-state tuition at Kansas colleges and universities if they have a file with The Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services and can prove they have attended three years of high school in Kansas. Supporters say the bill is needed because the process of obtaining a green card often takes years, and immigrants often can't afford out-of-state tuition.
One group that opposes the bill is the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The group's stance is that the bill is a scheme that would reward illegal aliens by giving them in-state tuition and could lead to overcrowding in the schools.
Similar legislation to the Immigrant Tuition Bill has passed in other states including California, Illinois, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Washington
The Driver's Licenses for Illegal Aliens Bill is a similar bill. It would make undocumented immigrants eligible to receive a driver's license and therefore get car insurance.
Andrea Pantoja, Mission junior and HALO president, said undocumented immigrants needed to drive in order to work.

"They need to get from place to place, so they will drive anyways," she said. "If they don't have insurance, it is really dangerous."

Jaywalk was started by Lindsay Poe, University Affairs Committee member and Jaywalk Board chairwoman. Poe was part of the KUnited organization that conducted a campus safety survey in November 2002.

Spencer Art Museum director fired after 16 years of service
University of Kansas administrators fired Spencer Art Museum Director Andrea Norris yesterday after 16 years of service.
Norris left the University Wednesday although she will remain on the University payroll through the current fiscal year, which ends June 30.
Administration officials and the University's public relations personnel wouldn't comment on the firing.
Fred Pawlicki, associate director of the Lied Center, will take over the museum as interim director. The University has no time frame for hiring a permanent director to replace Norris.
During Norris' tenure as director, the museum celebrated its 25th anniversary and received its second accreditation by the American Association of Museums.

Sebelius appears to support John Kerry for presidency
TOPEKA — With Massachusetts Sen.
John Kerry as the presumed Democratic nominee for president, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius appears poised to endorse him.
Sebelius scheduled two news conferences for today, one at 11 a.m. in the downtown building where the Kansas Democratic Party is headquartered and the other at 7 p.m. alongside retired Gen. Wesley Clark.
Clark, a former rival who is now campaigning for Kerry, is the keynote speaker for Kansas Democrats' Ad Astra banquet Friday night. The banquet is the highlight of Democrats' two-day statewide convention.

TOPEKA — A House committee yesterday endorsed a proposed social services budget after debate about where to increase spending to best help young children.
Legislature OKs increase in social-services spending
The Appropriations Committee recommended $2.33 billion in spending for the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services in the 2005 fiscal year, up 7.6 percent from the current budget.
Much of the increase reflects higher numbers of Kansans seeking medical services, and higher per-person costs for

Alumni group looks to increase members, services

Kansan staff writer
The Black Alumni Association has a small database of alumni contacts and an even smaller group of members, but Jimmy Banks knows the group has the potential to make an impact at the University of Kansas.
Banks, president of the association, created the group two years ago to serve African-American alumni and students at the University. Right now, the association has only 10 paying members, but about 150 names are in the organization's database.
Hesaid the numberswould significantly increase with a membership drive in the fall. When the association met last September,

Association. Banks described his vision of the association's role within the University as a special interest or an affinity group.
Banks said the Black Alumni Association could benefit from the
University association in terms of resources. He said the Black Alumni Association could also recruit more African Americans to the University's association.
the University alumni Association Fred Williams, president of the University Alumni Association said the association's limited resources and staff prevented the Black Alumni Association or any other association from joining the University Alumni Association
The two groups also have different purposes, Williams said. While the University Alumni Association primarily deals with records and coordinating reunions among alumni, the Black Alumni Association deals with both alumni and current students.Banks said he understood the difference.
"Our focus has been on putting
the infrastructure in place and getting the mentoring program off the ground," Banks said.
In addition to alumni interaction, Banks wants alumni to serve as mentors to students to improve student retention.
Banks said he thought focusing on students was something the organization needed to do and could do with its current members and resources.
Right now, eight students are in the program, an increase from last year's number of three. Banks said he wanted the program to benefit both students and alumni.
"At the end of the day, we just want to make sure the program is a positive experience for them and a positive experience for the mentors as well," Banks said.
Having a successful, African
American as a mentor is easier to relate to, said Melva Landrum, Minneapolis, Minn., junior Landrum's mentor lives in South Africa, and the two plan to communicate through e-mail.
"My intention is to gain as much information as possible on how to be successful and to get tips for my career," she said.
Banks said although the mentoring program was the main focus now, his organization would not stop trying to become affiliated with the University association. He said the group would contact the University Alumni Association after it becomes stronger and more organized.

Shane McCall used to tell people to recycle everything. Now he'll tell you if it takes five or 10 minutes to wash a tin can before recycling it, you might as well throw it away.
Shane McCall, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student, studies sociology at the University of Kansas. He will take a year off his studies to teach environmental studies in the Caribbean for the Peace Corps.
"It's just not worth everything else you're wasting, like the water and the soap," he said. "I used to think anytime you could avoid sending something to the landfill it was good, but I'm a lot more moderate now."
McCall, Kansas City, Mo. graduate student, has been involved in environmental issues at the University of Kansas since his undergraduate days.
"Everyone is an activist to some extent unless you don't talk to anyone."
He was environmental chairman of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall and the All Scholarship Hall Council. He served as co-director of KU Environs and worked for the City of Lawrence's Waste Reduction and Recycling Department. After finishing his first year of graduate studies in sociology, McCall will take a break to work for

the Peace Corps. He will be in the Caribbean for two years working on environmental education.
He said his duties could involve anything from working on pamphlets to teaching people about reforestation. McCall wants to learn if the theories and solutions that he has spent five years learning will work in the real world.
Mark Lyda, a close friend of McCall, said McCall's experience would make him an asset to the Peace Corps.
"He doesn't flaunt his knowledge but he knows how to use it," said Lyda, Denver junior. "He's the old guru of the environmental crowd."
"I can't tell people not to consume at all," he said. "That's just what people do."
The farmers he interviewed were frightened of the risk of developing health problems from the chemicals they used, but were also frightened of ruining their businesses if they didn't use chemicals. McCall said he wants to understand what actions have the least cost and most environmental benefit.

As reluctant as he is to call himself an environmental activist, McCall still hopes make a difference. He considers anyone who influences others based on their beliefs to be an activist.
As environmental chairman of the scholarship halls he reduced the number of newspapers sent to some of the halls and organized an inter-hall energy conservation contest. Now he is preparing to learn more about environmental work through research and the Peace Corps.
"Everyone is an activist to some extent unless you don't talk to anyone," he said.
Lyda said McCall isn't the typical partisan activist most people might think of. He knows more about the environmental issues he is studying than anybody else, Lyda said, but he is open-minded.
Lydia said, "That's typical Shane," Lyda said. "He's humble, in that he knows what he doesn't know. He's a lot like Socrates."
McCall said he was trying to find a balance between what he knows and what he has yet to learn.
Through his research and Peace Corps work, he is trying to gather more information about the issues he cares about.
McCall said he had high standards for activism. He said there were two ends of the activism continuum: those who completely devote their lives to a
cause and those who try to make the small changes. Both are beneficial, but right now McCall places himself in the second category. He doesn't want to make the wrong decision, but he knows waiting too long to make the right
one would destroy the point of having an opinion at all.
"There's a place in the world for people who think slowly like me," he said.

Justice Scalia: Hunt with non-partisans
Pheasant hunting in Kansas with the governor may not sound as exotic as hopping Air Force 2 to Louisiana to duck hunt with the vice president. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has done both. Both instances raise questions of whether Supreme Court justices should be hunting with people who have cases before the court.
Kansas had two cases before the court in Fall 2001. Stephen McAllister, dean of law, appeared in the first case and argued in the second as state solicitor. Sandwiched between those two cases was Scalia's visit to the Uuiversity's school of law. The University paid for Scalia's airfare, food and lodging in Lawrence, and Scalia declined his speaking fee. While on that same visit, however, Scalia hunted pheasants with then-Gov. Bill Graves, and the justice paid his own way. McAllister did not go hunting.
In January of this year, Scalia and Dick Cheney went duck hunting in Louisiana at a reserve owned by an energy executive. Scalia accepted free air travel on Air Force 2. This was only weeks after the court accepted a case that could decide whether Cheney would have to reveal whom he met with when deciding Bush administration energy policy.
When Scala hunted with Graves, McAllister didn't go
OUR VIEW
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's credibility is rightfully in question. He should take a lesson from Stephen McAllister, dean of law, and appreciate the importance of impartiality.
McAllister acted appropriately as law dean in hosting Justice Scalia. He should continue to get justices to come speak because hearing a Supreme Court is rare and valuable for KU students. McAllister said the school has scheduled Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg for Spring 2005.
because he said it would be inappropriate. Scalia hunted with the governor when cases important to Kansas were in front of the court, but did not think his impartiality could be reasonably questioned. He did not recuse himself from the Kansas cases, and it doesn't seem as if he will from Cheney's.
Scalia's impartiality has been reasonably questioned in the Cheney instance, and he should recuse himself. It is important to maintain the appearance of an impartial judiciary, especially at a time when the public still questions the court's motives in intervening in the 2000 presidential election. Perhaps he could learn from McAllister that appearances are important when it comes to judicial ethics.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Band loses tradition
I'm going to have to disagree with your editorial about the KU band uniforms.
I was a band member from 1998 to 2001. Not all the uniforms were from 1978 - we had a shipment of new overlays: I think it was in 2000.
Also, I've talked to several alumni who are disappointed with the style of the uniforms. They had only the jacket on display at a festival for music teachers last weekend, and it makes me wonder why they didn't show the pants and hat.
One friend I talked to even said they looked like the Mizzou uniforms. The pants are black, as are the hats and the plumes. They won't be visible on the field.
The old band uniforms were indeed bizarre, but they were also one of the most visible signs of school spirit. We had special marching moves on the field during the pre-game to showcase these costumes: a spin turn to make the wings fly out, turning the entire band at once to change colors, etc.
I understand the band needs money, but I would rather give so that the students in band can get better stipends. Being in marching band is like a part-time job.
Affirmative action works for most; token minorities not fair examples
A column which appeared in Monday's The University Daily Kansan praising the efforts of Jason Mattera, a college student who benefited from affirmative action, and now opposes it and established a whites-only scholarship. The author gave too much credit to Mattera.
PERSPECTIVE
P.O. Box 1840
GUEST COMMENTARY
While I agree that Mattera's creation of a whites-only scholarship is clever, it is in no way a scathing indictment of affirmative action.
If Mattera is so convinced of the ills of affirmative action, why doesn't he give back the full $5,000 scholarship he received from the Hispanic Scholarship Fund? If Mattera truly believes "scholarships should be given out based on merit and need," why did he take the $5,000 in the first place? His scholarship would not be open to the white student who was awarded the $250. What's preventing Mattera from giving up the rest of his $5,000? Apparently he doesn't find affirmative action quite that bad.
Nicolas Shump
opinion@kansan.com
What is so amusing to me is how quick the author of the column was to hold Mattera up as proof of the contradictory nature of affirmative action. Why?
Because he's Puerto Rican? Alan Keyes was used in the column as another example of a credible source on affirmative action. Why? Because Keyes is African American? What escapes me is why we should be convinced by Jason Mattera and Alan Keyes and not by the thousands of other ethnic minority students and professionals who have benefited from affirmative action in the past 40 years. I myself have been the recipient of several scholarships similar to the one that Mattera "earned." So does that cancel out Mattera's argument? I don't understand the logic.
Like so many other opponents of affirmative action, the author of this column repeated these tired arguments without offering any proof to support his claims. How exactly does affirmative action "systematically undermine minorities ability to succeed on their intellect and hard work alone"?
I'm puzzled over how I was "spoon-fed government assistance" by receiving these various scholarships. Last time I checked, I had to succeed in the classroom just like any other student. It makes as much sense to characterize affirmative action as "spoon-fed government assistance" as it does to characterize the author, who is from Overland Park, as someone who has suckled at the teat of white privilege because he's lived in an area with better funding of school systems, better health care and more community support for achievement.
I'm surprised that this proponent of hard work didn't also indict the legacy system in American colleges and universities that has allowed mediocre students such as our current president to graduate from Ivy League universities. By what merit did "Dubya" and others earn their spots at Yale, Harvard and other bastions of higher education?
Another fact to explore is the quotas that were forced upon Jewish students earlier in the 20th century and similar measures in place now to effectively limit the numbers of Asian-American students who, based on merit, would easily outperform students from other ethnic and racial backgrounds. But this would complicate the author's sophomoric critique of diversity.
Although the author stated in the column that affirmative action began in 1965, the initial program was known as "equal opportunity." What President Lyndon Johnson had in mind was to offer ethnic minority students equal opportunity to a variety of programs, including education, that had long been denied to them.
Affirmative action is by no means a perfect system, but what alternative does the author or Mattera offer? I believe the problem with affirmative action is that it doesn't go far enough. It should not only be a matter of race or ethnicity, but one of class as well. But I should probably just shut up and work hard instead.

Jason Mattera and his whites-only scholarship were praised in a column in the Kansan on Monday. On the same day, a letter to the editor suggested that measures put in place to ensure the fair representation students in organizations such as the Student Senate eclipsed the rights of white students.
As Mattera and his scholarship have attracted the attention of the national press, I've been deeply troubled by one of his criteria for selection: the suggestion that students write about why they are proud of their white heritage. The concept of such a celebration in today's society is repulsive.
This has left me wondering: What type of progress will this generation make in the world that we will soon enter as leaders?
Such heritage celebrations among whites, however, are rooted in a particular brand of American white supremacy that arose at the close of the 19th century as "new" immigrants from Eastern Europe (who were not considered white at the time) flooded the shores of this country. As those people came to the United States, the "old" immigrants — English and others from Western Europe who initially populated the United States and feared the arrival of "others" — began to conceptualize ideologies that established and maintained the severest of inequalities in American life.
Heritage celebrations among nonwhite or other marginalized communities have always been rooted in observing a history of work and struggle for freedom and full inclusion, dual concepts that transcend race. By working toward full inclusion, nonwhite groups in the United States have expanded rights in America for all people including women, the disabled, immigrants and laborers of all professions.
Science was used to "prove" that immigrants, women and ethnic minorities were inferior, thus legitimizing their poor treatment.
During this period, hereditarian organizations such as the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Colonial Dames and the Society of Mayflower Descendants were formed. These societies, open only to people who could trace their ancestry to the American Revolution, colonial society, or to the Mayflower, respectively, emphasized whiteness as superior stock. Whiteness, in essence, became the fashionably oppressive vogue.
Even if that is not what Mattera means when he references white heritage, that is the past that he suggestively invokes. We know now that America is more than that—well, at least it should be.
The reality in this country is that the playing fields aren't as level as the images that we consume on television would lead us to believe. Though great strides have been made in some of the more visible areas of sports, entertainment and education, ultimately many of the decisions that are made in these and other areas come from the same circles of power that made them 100 years ago.
The fear that government and educational programs will give new people access to those echelons of power is akin to the fear of the new immigrant in the early 1900s. When it comes to human rights, that fear generated a white pride that led to one of America's darkest
The debate over aging and admittedly flawed programs such as affirmative action is far too narrow in its scope. Modern times have complicated problems of race. While race is still a visible dilemma, the issues of gender and class inequality that are embedded in American society plague millions.
hours. We've been down that road already, and we don't need to go again.
It seems to be "American" to promote and kill for freedom as long as it is not the freedom to choose, the freedom to marry, or the freedom to work under safe conditions. Until we seriously engage those questions, our Constitution is, at best, a collection of half-truths.
In Mattera is as interested in promoting American ideals as he claims to be, he would recognize that times such as these call for a different type of pride—a pride anchored in work done to ensure family, community and widespread social progress.
To know the history and privileges associated with whiteness and to celebrate those things is backward. Conversely, to work on extending those privileges to all is progress. Ultimately, working through the residual social elements left by the horrible problems of the past is what's really American.

Shower curtains accumulate billions of germs

New research found that vinyl shower curtains can be prime breeding grounds for disease-causing organisms. When a person turns on the water a bacteria-filled cloud forms that could be harmful to your health. Photo Illustration by Annie Bernethy/Kansas
Austin Fitts is not used to showering alone.
It's not just the Lawrence senior who has become accustomed to this;the same goes for almost anyone.
These pathogens can be found not only in the form of "soap scum" but also in areas all around us, infecting our daily lives
Billions of disease-causing organisms are probably harvesting in your shower right now, according to a study by Norman Pace, professor of molecular biology at the University of Colorado.
"As the water hits the shower curtain, it stirs up all these microbes and you become surrounded in this aerosol effect," Pace said.
Place said.
This bacteria-filled cloud is not an imminent threat to healthy people, but it could be dangerous for those with poor immune systems or exposed wounds.
Fitts could tell he needed a new shower curtain just by looking at it.
it. "It's hard not to think about it when your shower curtain that is supposed to be clear is orange, pink and yellow," Fitts said.
He and his roommates have shared the same shower curtain since they moved into their house two and a half years ago.
At one point there was so much soap scum on their shower curtain that they had to cut off several inches from the bottom.
Pace recommended cleaning your shower curtain and allowing it to dry regularly to avoid a build-up of germs. He also said that a glass shower door is easier to clean and harder for microbes to
stick to.
suck to. Pace stressed how sharing towels can spread these germs even more.
Fitts said that he had never considered sharing a towel because it was too personal.
"It's an intimate moment when you rub down every inch of your body," Fitts said. "Sharing a towel is almost as bad as sharing underwear."
Pace found the bacteria after
testing four shower curtains in his laboratory in Boulder. Colo. He found that just one square inch of the average vinyl shower curtain could house billions of these organisms, some of which are hazardous to your health.
Pace presented his research at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Seattle.
He said that not many people realize how common these
microscopic populations are
Eroscope population Students should not worry about the presence of some of these bacteria, said Bill Picking, associate professor of microbiology at the University of Kansas
"You're exposed to bacteria at all times and most of them really aren't that harmful," Picking said. "In fact some of the bacteria can actually be helpful."
Picking said the media shows the public all the bad types of
bacteria, but no one talks about the type of bacteria that is found in your body that can actually fight off some of these pathogens you might encounter in the bathroom.
Picking said that as long as students stay healthy by eating right, getting enough sleep and just taking care of themselves, they have nothing to worry about.

Libby Dean, Louisburg junior, and Carol Dias da Silva, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, senior, each wrote plays for Playwriting I. Dean wrote A Test of Will and Dias da Silva wrote The Last Cigarette, which she adapted from her own short story. The plays are being produced in a festival in Kansas City, Mo.

Students will showcase playwriting at festival

Kansan staff writer
Two University of Kansas students are scheduled to have their plays performed at a festival starting tonight.
Caroline Dias da Silva, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, senior and Libby Dean, Louisburg junior, are the two KU students who had their plays chosen to be in the festival.
The 2004 Women's Playwrighting Festival, presented by Potluck Productions, will begin at 8 tonight and continue through March 14 at the Just Off Broadway Theatre in Kansas City, Mo.
plays choose.
The two 10-minute plays are among the 13 that will be performed at each showing. Dias da Silva's play, The Last Cigarette, focuses on a homosexual bartender coming on to a straight man who has fallen on hard times.
Dias da Silva said that the theme of the play was addiction and that it was buried in the story.
"It's like an iceberg." Dias da Silva said, "Seven eighths of it is under the surface."
Dias da Silva said that her play was among the first that she had written. Dean's work is about a young woman in a relationship who takes a pregnancy test. It was Dean's first attempt at playwriting. The play, A Test of Will, is not

based on Dean's own experiences, she said.
"I was worried about it because my family's going to see it," Dean said. "I know they're going to think it is."
Both playwrights originally saw themselves as fiction writers, but wrote the plays as part of a playwriting class taught by Paul Lim, professor of English. Lim is the only playwriting professor at the University, as well as the head of the English Alternative Theatre.
Lim submitted the plays to the committee in charge of selection for the festival. More than 100 scripts were submitted for production. Dias da Silva was surprised when she received notification that her play was selected for the festival.
"I got this e-mail that said, 'We're going to produce your play,' Dias da Silva said. "I was like, 'What?!"

The festival will run for two weeks, with tickets priced at $10. There will be four shows each week in which all the plays will be performed.
Normally, the festival showcases female playwrights from all over the country, but in this year it will only produce plays from writers in
Kansas and Missouri, co-producer Joyce Slater said. The festival is in its tenth year.

Some parents, students purchase instead of renting
By Azita Tafreshi
atafreshi@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
As students begin to shop around for places to live next year, some are finding that the best place to be is under their parents' roof.
While forking over monthly rental payments to an apartment complex is always an option, some parents choose instead to buy a house for their son or daughter.

The firm loads on.
Some students live in houses purchased by their parents. The money students spend on rent can instead be spent on the parents' house payment. The family ends up owning a house — an investment — rather than losing the money spent on rent.
daughter.
Parents who purchase a house for their son or daughter are making a good investment, said Rae Herod, Lawrence junior. She said her parents bought the townhouse where she and her two roommates began living two years ago after realizing the benefits of being her landlord.
his or being her friend. "They didn't like the idea of renting because it's just wasted money," Herod said. "But if you buy a place and rent it out, then the profits actually go back to you."
Parents get a good deal when they invest in a house for their children said Craig Dreiling, an agent with Lawrence Realty Associates, 4321 W. Sixth St. He said for a "decent" four-bedroom apartment in Lawrence, students could expect to pay between $850 to $1,200 per month.
"The money that you pay for an apartment could be going toward a house, and then you'd actually have something to show for it," Herod said.
Dreiling said that when he was a student at the University, he bought a house through a Federal Housing Administration program called Kiddie Condo Loan. The program offers low interest mortgages to full-time students with a cosigner.
With a program of this nature, he said students could afford to buy, for example, a four-bed

room, $150,000 property. After a minimum $4,500 down payment, he said they would sign for a $145,500 loan at 6-percent interest for 30 years. This would break down to an $868 monthly mortgage payment that Dreiling said three roommates could pay for with a rental rate of about $289.
As long as the student had roommates, it would actually be cheaper for parents to buy their children a house than it would be to pay for them to live in the residence halls, with the added benefits of owning a piece of property and establishing credit, Dreiling said.
"Since one person is taking all the risk, it's nice that in four years when they turn around to sell it, they'll have gained equity in the property," Dreiling said.
Living in a house where her roommate's mom is the landlord has provided Lindsay Gentry with flexibility that she said she wouldn't have been able to find anywhere else. When the Olathe senior returned to Lawrence in January from six months of studying abroad in Spain, she not only had a place to stay, but she was also sharing a three-bedroom house with only one other person.
"You don't really feel as a 22-year-old that you deserve to live in a house this nice," Gentry
said. After living in apartments for two years, Gentry said one of the major advantages of having her friend's mom as her landlord was how quickly she responded if something needed to be fixed.
"If something breaks, the people who own the house are going to be there as soon as possible because it's their kid that's living there." Herod said.
Herod said collecting rent from her roommates would sometimes put her in a tough position, but she agreed that it
still beat apartment living.
With that freedom comes added responsibility, but Christopher Gomez, Newton sophomore, said he found the responsibilities that accompany owning his house exciting rather than burdensome.
"When I first moved in here, I
was out planting grass, and I was watering and fertilizing," he said. "I just took a liking to it and appreciated that even the outside of a house reflects how a person is."
Next year Gomez's sister will also be attending the University, which he said was a major factor in his family's decision to purchase the three-bedroom house. He said it would be convenient for her to have a home away from home, as well as a place to stay after she experienced residence hall life. Plus, she could
help out with the bills once in awhile.
Gomez said despite not having roommates, he was paying the majority of his $1,100 per month mortgage payment with a part-time job, while his parents paid the rest.
"Not a lot of people understahd what their parents go through at home until they leave and have this on their own," Gomez said. "It really does teach you for the future."

Mixed reactions for U.S. Marines in Haiti's capital
The Associated Press
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — U.S. Marines trained their rifles down gritty streets and into a teeming market as they patrolled the Haitian capital with other peacekeepers yesterday, drawing smiles and a few angry words, but no resistance.
no resistance.
Hatred is still simmering among various factions nearly a week after President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was ousted in a rebellion that left at least 130 people dead, with new killings discovered outside Port-au-Prince.
covered obstacles As the Marines rolled into the looted port area in eight Light Armored Vehicles and ventured into the crowds, onlookers gathered around in curiosity but showed no fear.
At one point, a Marine poured a canteen of water over his head to cool off in the sweltering heat, drawing chuckles from passers-by.
"I feel much safer now the Marines are here," said Frantz Labissiere, 44. "I wouldn't be here if the Marines weren't here."
But not everyone shared his view. As the convoy passed an angry knot of people, one youth shouted: "You took our president
— now you're taking our country!''
Others held up photographs of Aristide, who fled the country Sunday as rebels neared the outskirts of the capital and the United States and former colonial ruler France pressed him to resign.
Haiti's first freely elected leader lost a lot of popularity in Haiti — and in Washington, which restored him to power in 1994 after he was ousted in a 1991 military coup — because he allegedly used militant loyalists to attack and intimidate his opponents, failed to help the poor and condoned corruption.
The Central African Republic will offer him permanent asylum if he asks but would find it difficult to pay for his upkeep, the government said yesterday.
"I can't say definitively if Mr. Aristide will stay here or if he'll go, but if he asks us, we won't refuse him," Communications Minister Parfait Mbaye told The Associated Press in Bangui.
Associate President The Organization of American States announced the establishment Thursday of a tripartite council that is the first step to forming a government of national unity in Haiti. The members are Leslie Voltaire, who was Aris-
tide's Minister for Haitians Abroad; former opposition Sen. Paul Denis, a member of the Democratic Platform coalition; and Adama Guindo, the U.N. resident representative in Haiti.
The three are to choose, by consensus within one week, seven members for a Council of Sages which in turn will propose a new prime minister.
U. S. Marines stand guard at the airport in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, last Monday. Some Haitians are angered by the presence of the troops, while others show support for them following the turmoil caused by supporters of former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and the opposition's rebel forces.
The killing of Haitians continued, despite the arrival of the U.S. Marines and French troops as the vanguard of a U.N. peacekeeping mission, as well as a pledge by rebel leader Guy Philippe that his men would disarm.
CERTIFICATION
menn would disarm. Yesterday, Philippe traded his military clothes for a blue polo shirt and jeans, and was unarmed. He told The Associated Press he wants go to "many cities, to see how people are living and how I can help." He said he has given the order to his forces to disarm, and said their weapons were "in the bases" around Haiti.

In Gressier, six miles west of Port-au-Prince, the bodies of four men were seen in the street yesterday. All were shot in the head and three had their hands tied behind their backs
and it appeared he may have been trying to flee when he was shot.
Some Haitians doubted Philippe's pledge and the arrival of peacekeepers would end revenge killings.
"The rebels want to take over the country," said Gracious Laguenne, a tailor. "As soon as the Americans leave, they're going to come back and it will be the same thing all over again."
As the Marines expanded their control over the capital, merchants began cleaning off pro-Aristide graffiti. A worker wiped "Viv Aristide" off the metal gates of an auto dealership.

WASHINGTON — President Bush's campaign commercials — on the air just one day — have angered several relatives of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and a firefighters union that has endorsed Democratic rival John Kerry demanded the ads be pulled
The White House defended the commercials, which show images of the skeletal remains of the World Trade Center and firefighters bearing a stretcher through the rubble
"It makes me sick," said Colleen Kelly, who lost her brother Bill Kelly Jr., in the attacks and leads a victims families group called Peaceful Tomorrows. "Would you ever go to someone's grave site and use that as an instrument of politics? That truly is what Ground Zero represents to me."
In Bal Harbour, Fla., the International Association of Fire Fighters Union approved a resolution asking the Bush campaign to pull the ads, spokesman Jeff Zack said. The resolution also urges Bush to "apologize to the families of firefighters killed on 9/11 for demeaning the memory of their loved ones in an attempt to curry support for his re-election."
The union gave Kerry an early endorsement in the presidential race.

The ads refer both to the terror

ist attacks and to the recent recession, and are designed to project Bush as a candidate offering "steady leadership in times of change."The commercials do not mention Kerry.
One of the ads shows the charred wreckage of the twin towers with an American flag flying amid the debris. Another ad — and a Spanish-language version of it — use that image as well as firefighters carrying a flag-draped stretcher through the rubble as sirens are heard. Firefighters are shown in all the ads.
Bush had said he would not use the attacks for political gain. His aides defended the use of the images.
images.
"Sept. 11 changed the equation in our public policy. It forever changed the world," said Scott McClellan, the White House press secretary. "The president's steady leadership is vital to how we wage war on terrorism."
The administration arranged for former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and three others to appear on network and cable broadcasts to defend the ads. One Bush aide said the controversy gave the president's commercial priceless free publicity, with millions seeing clips of the ad.
Gay marriage rejected in New York
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The fight over gay marriages reached the nation's largest city yesterday as about three dozen same-sex couples asked for licenses and were turned down.
Couples in a New York suburb were also rejected, but across the country in Portland, Ore., a line of at least 100 hopefuls snaked around a building as Multnomah County handed out licenses to gay couples for a second day.
gay boy, "This isn't a matter of sacred and religious issues. It's a civil issue," said Nelson Jones, 74, who came out to support the Oregon couples and hoped to seek his own license there next week
It is not clear how long the licenses will be available. Democratic Gov. Ted Kulongoski has warned the marriages may not be
legal and requested a legal opinion from Oregon's attorney general.
New York's attorney general, Eliot Spitzer, said in an opinion Wednesday that his state's laws prohibit same-sex marriages, and New York City's top lawyer said the same about city law. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has also promised to enforce the law.
promised to teach. Still, gay couples began lining up outside the city clerk's office two hours before it opened. First in line were Mara Gottlieb, 33, and Camille Gonzalez, 38, accompanied by Gottlieb's mother and their rabbi.
They, like those who followed, were handed a 50-page rejection letter that included the state and city's legal opinions and offered information about domestic partnership options.
"We're disappointed, but we

think it's important for people to come here," said Gottlieb, who wore a tiara-like white band in her hair. "We want the politicians to know that this isn't going away."
About 300 gay and lesbian demonstrators held signs and chanted: "It's about equality!"
About 30 miles to the north, Nyack Mayor John Shields met on Thursday with same-sex couples and then accompanied them to the Orangetown clerk's office to apply for marriage licenses. The mayor and his partner, Bob Streams, went first, and the town
clerk handed them a statement saying she is not authorized to issue licenses to same-sex couples. Eight other couples were also denied.
Shields, 60, was not surprised. "I think it's wonderful that a group came together to fight for the rights we deserve," he said.
Shields had originally planned to hold a wedding ceremony for same-sex couples like one held last week in the college town of New Paltz, but changed his mind after the Spitzer opinion.
"I want to be a plaintiff, not a defendant." Shields said.

Concealed-carry law passes Kansas Senate
noble veto process.
Proponents of concealed weapons say the proposal would let Kansans protect themselves.
Opponents believe it would cause more gun-related violence.
TOPEKA — Supporters of a bill allowing Kansans to carry concealed handguns were confident yesterday that the measure would pass the Senate but conceded the margin probably will not be veto-proof.
The House approved the bill yesterday on a vote of 78-45—six fewer votes in favor than would be needed to override a veto.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has
said repeatedly she supports allowing only retired law-enforcement officials to receive concealed carry permits. A spokeswoman said Wednesday that if a broader measure passed, it's doubtful Sebelius would sign it.
In the 40-member Senate, where 27 votes are needed to override a veto. Sen. Phil Journey predicted the bill would receive 21 to 24 votes. Journey, (R-Haysville), who is one of its strongest supports in the chamber, said the odds of amassing a veto-proof margin were "pretty thin."
in the House. Rep. L. Candy Ruff (D-Leavenworth) said Sebelius' influence with fellow Democrats accounted for the failure to veto-proof the bill in that chamber.
"Democrats are loyal to our governor, and at this point, she's got problems with the bill. If she changes her mind, I feel many of them will follow her."

ber. "Democrats are loyal to our governor, and at this point, she's
got problems with the bill," said Ruff, who is one of the measure's prime sponsors. "If she changes her mind. I feel many of them will follow her."
The House bill would require the Kansas Bureau of Investigation to issue concealed-carry permits starting next Jan. 1 to all qualified Kansans who pay a $150 fee.
Kansans would be eligible if they are 21 and American citizens and complete an eight-hour training course. Convicted felons or people treated for a significant mental illness or substance abuse within the past five years would be barred.

China frees an organizer of Tiananmen Square
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A democracy activist who helped organize the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests was released by China and headed yesterday to Rhode Island to join another recently freed dissident.
It was the third time in a week Beijing has acted on a case after
lobbying from Washington, in what some believe are efforts to stave off a possible United Nations resolution condemning China.
Wang Youcai, 37, a physician, was given medical parole and left the Zhejiang No.1 prison early in the day, said John Kamm, executive director of the Dul Hua Foundation, a rights group.
"Clearly, I think, they have been releasing and giving sentence reductions to people who
are considered priority cases by the United States," Kamm told The Associated Press. "It's part of an overall effort to get the human rights dialogue back on track."
Kamm said Wang arrived in San Francisco at midmorning en route to Providence, where he was expected to arrive last night. He was to be met by Xu Wenli.
In 1998, Wang and Xu were sentenced to prison terms of more than a decade for activities
related to the founding of the China Democracy Party.
Xu was released from prison in December 2002 and came with his wife to Rhode Island to join their daughter. He currently is a visiting senior fellow at Brown University.
The Associated Press
Wang was also one of more than a dozen student leaders of the 1989 demonstrations that led to the Tiananmen Square military crackdown.

SENATE: Students secure at night with the help of Jaywalk
Brent Carter/Kansan
Terena Silva, Recife, Brazil, sophomore and Brian Bizjack, Tulsa, Oka, freshman, walked Kathyn Davenport, Coffeyville junior, and Nicole Leiker, Great Bizap sophomore, to Watkins Scholarship Hall last night. Silva and Bizjack escorted the two from Allen Field House as a part of the Jaywalk program, which is available to anyone who is walking on campus late at night.

had night escort programs. Poe was put in charge of researching those programs. From then on, she said, Jaywalk "kinda became my baby."
Now her baby's starting to grow up. Her staff has grown to 61 approved volunteer escorts, all of whom have passed criminal background checks and have been trained by the KU Public Safety Office.
Poe said she was still looking for more volunteers, especially females.
"I fully expected to have a lot of girls because they are often the ones who need the service, but there haven't been as many." Poe said.
The male volunteer base recently received a boost when the men's soccer club signed up.
Poe has been sending e-mails to campus organizations asking for volunteers. She said she hoped a by-product of the search would be more awareness about Jaywalk and more people calling for escorts.
"We don't get huge numbers," Poe said. "People may be afraid to ask, but the volunteers are there because they want to help."
Jaywalk received 13 calls in 15 nights of operation between the program's first night, Oct. 12, and the end of the month.
In November, Jaywalk's first full month, the program received 15 calls in 21 nights. There were four calls in nine nights in December before winter break.
All the callers were female except one. Poe said the one male caller wasn't afraid for his safety, but wanted some company.
Davenport has used the program several times and is also a volunteer. On Tuesday she relaxed and let volunteers Brian Bizjack, Tula, Okla., freshman and Terena Silva, Recife, Brazil, sophomore, look out for her safety.
It was the first walk for Bizjack, a new volunteer. He said he decided to sign up for the program because his fraternity, Theta Chi, counted it as both study hours and volunteer hours, because volunteers can do homework between calls.
Bizjack's fraternity brothers also called upon his sense of chivalry.
"Some of them were saying there were some scared, hot girls who needed help getting around," Bizjack said with laugh.
On Tuesday Bizijack, Silva,
Leiker and Davenport made the trek from the Fieldhouse to Watkins Scholarship Hall without any trouble, passing through several dimly-lit sections of Sunnyside Avenue. The street was quiet with just a few passing cars and only one other pedestrian.
Davenport said the fact that she got home safely that night meant the program was a success
"Even if the turnout isn't great, as long as it helps one person, the mission's accomplished," Davenport said.

LOBBYING: Efforts continue
relations, and Kathy Damron, a lobbyist from Topeka hired by the University as a consultant this legislative session.
Part of the reason Murguias's absence isn't being felt is because of the continuity in the new legislative team.
Rep. Tom Sloan (R-Lawrence) is the chairman of the House Higher Education Committee and deals with issues relating to the University on a regular basis. He said his committee had dealt with Josserand as opposed to Murgia in the past and were continuing to work with Josserand this session.
"From my point of view, I can't say there has been a considerable change," Sloan said in regard to the University's relationship with the committee before and after Murguia's departure.
While a difference might not be evident, the team has been busy. Boatright said the University has faced big issues such as the introduction of the bioscience initiative, which could benefit research at the University, and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' plans for education funding.
Hemenway spoke to the Senate Ways and Means Subcommittee on Higher Education on Feb. 9. He talked about the budget and concerns about covering
employee health care and research opportunities for the University of Kansas Medical Center.
In his testimony, the Chancellor said the environment at the University was more positive than it had been in previous years because of economic improvements in Kansas.
Continuity was one of Boatright's goals upon taking the interim position, and even with the lobbying team short a KU representative, more groups are being added to the University's representation at the Capitol.
During the next two weeks, two events will have the Capitol covered in crimson and blue. On March 10, the Unclassified and Professional Staff Association, a group that has never had assistance before this year from University Relations for its lobbying efforts, will go to the Capitol to discuss their concerns with legislators.
The largest event will be "KU in the Capitol." The first-ever event will bring 19 groups from the University, such as the School of Law and Office of Admissions and Scholarships, to the Capitol to reach out to the state and establish connections with lawmakers.
So, even as Murguia's office remains empty, the University has been able to continue to push its legislative agenda.

Raymond Rico, Kansas City Kan., junior, HALO member and intern for Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, said Hispanic issues will also be important on a national level this year as presidential candidates try to win votes from the ever-growing Hispanic population
"The Hispanic population has
grown significantly over the last 10 years, but it doesn't matter if we don't use our voice." he said.
HALO will get a chance to lobby for national issues when it meets with U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan) at the event.
Aguilar said he was looking forward to meeting a lot of the up-and-coming Hispanic political figures who would be attending Hispanic Day on the Hill. He was especially looking forward to meeting Elias Garcia, executive director for the Kansas Advisory Committee on Hispanic Affairs.

Tigers' last chance
Sunday's game to be last in Hearnes Center
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Missouri Tigers would probably prefer to have less pressure on such a historic day.
On Sunday, in the final game to be played at the Hearnes Center, the Tigers find themselves in a must-win situation
While Kansas (19-7 overall, 11-4 in the Big 12 Conference) has already secured the third seed for the upcoming Big 12 Tournament and probably an NCAA Tournament berth, Missouri (15-11, 9-6) needs a victory to ensure itself the fourth seed and a first-round bye. A Missouri loss could drop the team to sixth in the conference forcing the team to play on Thursday without
the luxury of a bye. A victory also could solidify the Tigers' case for a NCAA Tournament berth.
You'd probably prefer to play at a time when it gives you the most emotional advantage," coach Bill Self said at yesterday's news conference. "I can't imagine there being a bigger advantage than closing down a building, at least in their eyes. But I don't think it makes that much difference."
The Jayhawks have the momentum heading into Columbia, Mo., with two consecutive, solid victories. One of the most important pieces in the Jayhawk puzzle over the last week has been forward Jeff Graves. The senior has averaged seven points and five and a half rebounds in the past two games, which are both above his season averages. Kansas will need Jeff Graves to provide
depth in the post against Missouri more than ever. The Tigers' starting forwards, seniors Travon Bryant and Arthur Johnson, combined for 25 points in the first meeting on Feb. 2. The 65-56 Kansas victory was the only game the Jayhawks have won this season when scoring less than 70 points.
"If I keep playing like this, I think this team can go even further and get back to the Final Four," Graves said following Wednesday's game. "It's like the movie Any Given Sunday. Anyone can win, it's just up to who's hungry and wants it more."
Another plus for the Jayhawks heading into the final game of the regular season is that they have found some consistency.

Kansas concluded its season with a nine-game losing streak, including an 0-8 mark during the month of February.
Kansas' last victory came on Jan. 31 against Oklahoma State, just days after coach Marian Washington announced she would be taking a medical leave of absence. Washington officially announced her retirement last Friday.
During conference play, Iowa State ranked in the top half of the Big 12 for its percentage of three-pointers made, while Kansas is ranked last.
the Rains is to make "It's the same story as it has been all season," interim coach Lynette Woodard said. "They hit 12 threes; we could only convert three."
Another problem for Kansas all season has been rebounding. In its 18 losses, Kansas' opponents have averaged about five more boards. In the team's nine victories, Kansas has pulled down almost seven more rebounds.
Kansas attempted 14 three-point shots, while Iowa State attempted 28.
Last night was no exception as Kansas managed just 38 rebounds in last night's game. Iowa State pulled down 51 rebounds, 35 of which came on the defensive end.
Kansas' offense was led by sophomore forward Tamara Ransburg. Ransburg, who had declined to start in the last several games, still managed to put in a team-leading 19 points.
Iowa State was led by senior guard Erica Junod. Junod's 17 points included three goals from beyond the threepoint arc. Junod also grabbed four rebounds during the game.
Ransburg also led the team in rebounds with seven. Freshman forward Lauren Ervin also had seven boards and contributed four points.

After halftime, the Cyclones came back and put the Jayhawks away. Overall, the Jayhawks shot 33.3 percent and the Cyclones shot 41.3 percent.
Kansas did show a spark of life at the end of the first half. The team, which had been trailing by as much as 24 points in
the first half, went on a 13-5 run in the closing minutes before halftime.

As the No. 12 seed, the team will face No. 5 seed Baylor, which is ranked 14th nationally. When the two teams met in Waco, Baylor walked away with an 85-66 victory.
Tip-off in the Kansas-Baylor game will be at 2:30 p.m. next Tuesday. If the Jayhawks lose, their season is through.

Ah. the power of cheese
In television commercials, it can convince Santa Claus to leave you more presents or be used as bait to catch ice fishermen. For the Kansas men's basketball team, cheese can contribute to a competitive advantage on road trips.
Especially when it's properly molded into Jayhawk silhouettes, as pictured in the Feb. 26 Sports Illustrated on Campus that depicted the life of the Kansas team on the road. Combine that with the rest of the catered food; a personal DVD player for each player; a first-class, chartered airplane and luxurious hotel accommodations, and you have a recipe for greatness.

At first the battle seemed like professional athletes squabbling

Veteran punter re-signs with St. Louis Rams
ST. LOUIS — Sean Landeta signed for his 20th season in the NFL yesterday, agreeing to a one-year deal with the St. Louis Rams.
Landeta, one of two NFL players remaining from the USFL, averaged 42.8 vards per kick for St.Louis last season.
He began his NFL career in 1985 with the New York Giants. He is in his second tour with the Rams and has also kicked for Tampa Bay, Green Bay and Philadelphia.
The only other former USFL remaining is 41-year-old quarterback Doug Flutie, who has extended his contract for three years with the San Diego Chargers earlier this week.
The Rams also signed punter Mark Jensen, who will be allocated to NFL Europe. He spent the 2003 preseason with the Detroit Lions.

Former 49ers receiver Owens now with Baltimore Ravens
Terrell Owens is now Brian Bilick's problem—and the star receiver the Baltimore Ravens have never had.
The tempestuous receiver was traded by San Francisco to the Ravens on yesterday, a week after he was prevented from becoming a free agent because of a paperwork mistake. The 49ers got a second-round draft pick in return—a bonus considering they would have received nothing had he become a free agent.
"However he treated people or dealt with people before is not of concern to
The second day of free agency was quieter than the first, largely because Daniel Snyder and the Washington Redskins made their annual splash Wednesday. The Skins then spent yesterday introducing the new players they hope will mesh into a cohesive unit under Joe Gibbs.
Philadelphia, meanwhile, formalized its $66 million, eight-year deal with Jevon Kearse after the former Tennessee defensive end passed a physical. That had been a concern because of foot problems that kept Kearse on the sideline for a lot of the past two seasons.
"I think they're one pass rusher away from winning the big game. Not one player from winning the NFC Championship, but one player away from winning the Super Bowl," said Kearse, whose signing lifted the spirits of Philadelphia fans after three consecutive losses in NFC championship games.
Still, Owens' deal took the spotlight.
Owens, one of the NFL's best receivers, gives the Baltimore offense the kind of receiver it has never had — not even when it won the Super Bowl after the 2000 season.
But it also could give Billick and his coaching staff a headache. Owens feuded with both Steve Mariucci and Dennis Erickson in San Francisco as well as teammates and opponents with his surliness, complaints and on-field antics.
yards last season, is under indictment for drug conspiracy.
Nor does the deal make the Ravens an offensive juggernaut.
The 49ers benefit, too.
Jamal Lewis, who rushed for 2,066
Instead of losing Owens with notnning in return, they get the 51st overall pick in what's expected to be a deep draft, especially for wide receivers.
The Redskins and Broncos introduced Clinton Portis and Champ Bailey, who were dealt for each other. That was the first trade of current Pro Bowl players since the Chargers traded quarterback John Hadl to the Rams for defensive tackle Coy Bacon following the 1972 season.
Portis claimed that as a running back he would be more valuable to the Redskins than Bailey could be as a cornerback.
"You get yourself two top-notch receivers — he can't cover both of them," he said. "I have a chance to control what happens in the game. I have the ball, and I'm the only one that knows what I'm going to do with it."
But Washington coach Joe Gibbs conceded the Redskins were forced to get rid of Bailey because of the cornerback's antipathy for Snyder.
"There was a history there," Gibbs said. "It became obvious that it was going to be extremely tough for us to do, and it was extremely obvious that he wasn't coming to camp."
In other developments yesterday:
—The Cleveland Browns disclosed they will meet today with quarterback Jeff Garcia, cut for salary cap reasons by San Francisco this week. He could be an option if the Browns can't renegotiate a cap-friendly deal with Tim Couch.
—Tampa Bay signed another former 49er, left tackle Derrick Deese, a 12-year veteran. Deese also was cut on Monday.
—Houston formalized its deal with
defensive tackle Robaire Smith. The former Titan signed a six-year deal worth $26.3 million.
—New Orleans signed former Tampa Bay running back Aaron Stecker, who will back up Deuce McAllister.

Mike Sweeney misses KC's exhibition opener
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Mike Sweeney, who spent six weeks on the disabled list season with a herniated disc, was held out of the Kansas City Royals exhibition opener on yesterday with a sore back.
Sweeney, a four-time American League All-Star, said it was "nothing serious," Ken Harvey replaced Sweeny at first base in the game against Texas.
"I did some extra hitting yesterday and did my back exercises and did a little too much," Sweeney said. "My lower back is a little sore and stiff."
He informed trainer Nick Swartz of the tightness upon arriving yesterday at the Rovals clubhouse.
"Nick told us from day one on his goal as trainer is let's keep the little things little things and don't let them escalate," said Sweeney, a career .307 hitter.
Manager Tony Pena said the weather, cool and a drizzle in the morning, also played a factor in the decision to hold Sweeney out of the game against the Texas Rangers.
"With the bad weather, we don't want to take a chance," Pena said. "It's nothing major."
Pena said Sweeney should be able to play today.

Offense should keep Jayhawks strong this weekend
Brahawks 6
Meagan True/Kansai
Sophomore Ritchie Price fielded a ground ball yesterday afternoon at Hoglund Ballpark. Kansas beat Oakland 17-2. The baseball team will take on Wisconsin Milwaukee today at 3 p.m.
By Shane Kucera
skucera@kansan.com
Kansan Sportswriter
Kansas will attempt to stay undefeated at home today when it begins a three-game series against Milwaukee-Wisconsin.
Kansas broke out of a six-game slump last week with victories against Creighton and Oakland. The Jayhawks, now 12-7-1, are on a five-game winning streak during which they have outscored opponents 52-12.
Kansas has shown itself to have multiple offensive threats. The Jayhawks are proving coach Ritch Price's prediction that this could be the best offensive team the University of Kansas has ever had.
Sophomore Ritchie Price has set another Kansas record. In 2003, Price shattered Kansas' single-season hit record with 75 hits.
Price set a new Kansas record for most hits in a game by going 6-for-6 in his last game. Price has started all 20 games at shortstop this season.
The San Luis Obispo, Calif. native has proven to be consistent so far with a .313 average, 26 runs and 20 RBI.
Senior Matt Trible has also been hot at the plate. The right fielder from Wheaton, Ill., is currently on an 11-game hitting streak. He is chasing his own record, a 20-game hit streak, which he set in 2003. Also starting in all 20 games, Tribble is batting .373 with two
home runs and 19 RBI
Jayhawk seniors Travis Metcalf and Ryan Baty have provided power to the Kansas lineup so far this season. Metcalf is leading the Big 12 Conference with six home runs and Baty leads the conference with nine doubles. Baty has gone homered twice in his last four games.
Today's game will be the return of Matt Baty. The sophomore sat out the last game because of a mild concussion he got after being hit by a wild pitch.
Batybeen the foundation of the offense this season. He leads the team in batting average (.403), hits (29), runs (22), stolen bases (13) and on-base percentage (.511).
Today's 3 p.m. game at
Hoglund Ballpark will be the season opener for the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Panthers. Last season the Panthers went 25-25 in the Division I Horizon League.
The Panthers lost nine seniors, but still return an experienced team.
Senior Ryan Knippschild will be the Jayhawks' starting pitcher.
Knippschild is coming off of a season-high eight-inning performance in which he only allowed only one run on six hits.
Weather permitting, the first 500 fans to Hoglund Ballpark will receive a free "Pure Kansas" sticker.
MEN'S BASKETBALL: Team depends on juniors for leadership
— Edited by Danielle Hillix
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The most positive aspect has been the leadership by example and emotion of Kansas' trio of juniors: Wayne Simien, Keith Langford and Aaron Miles.
Langford has been a terror on defense lately. More impressive than his scoring has been his total of six turnovers in the past five games. His defense will be needed against Missouri's two-headed shooting guard tandem of Rickey Paulding and Jason Conley, who have been hot recently.
recently.
Simien has been the model of consistency for the Jayhawks. He has scored in double figures in nine straight games. More importantly, Simien's knack for the big play has provided plenty of emotional pick-me-ups for Kansas during the past few games. The Jayhawks will need plenty of this inspiration to silence the force of a raucous
crowd and a desperate opponent.
"It seems like this is always the pinnacle of the year," Simien said. "They'll be fighting for their lives, so it's going to be a monster game."
Kansas Basketball Notebook
Academic honors—Junior guard Aaron Miles, sophomore forward Christian Moody, sophomore forward Moulaye Niang and senior forward Brett Olson were named to the 2004 Men's Basketball Academic All-Big 12 team Wednesday night.
Moody and Olson were named to the first team, while Miles and Niang were secondteam selections. Olson made his second straight appearance on the Academic All Big 12 team, and was the only member of the 23-man All-Big 12 team with a 4.0 grade point average.

with owners over how to split up luxuries. Rich people fighting with rich people to decide who will be the richest.
But the cheese — the cheese will push you over the edge.
It will be impossible to listen to one more bottom-line-eschewing interview with the department officials that pretend to lament stealing seats from old people for the greater good of the program
Here's one: Maybe the basketball team could travel less like the President of the United States and more like, uh, student-athletes
In numerous published interviews on the subject, athletics director Lew Perkins has said he hated to have to charge those loyal fans more money, but he is all out of ideas to keep this struggling department financially feasible. He'd love to hear any better ideas, he'll tell you.
Maybe the basketball team could travel less like the President of the United States and more like,uh,student-athletes.
If the department still wants to boost the budget by charging long-time season ticket holders another $5,000 it should go ahead and do it. But it might want to send them a block of Jayhawk cheese to help break the news.

Colorado rewrites its recruitment guidelines
The Associated Press
AURORA, Colo., — Colorado announced sweeping changes to its scandal-ridden football program yesterday, barring recruits from visiting bars and private parties and putting them under the close supervision of parents and coaches.
Calling the guidelines the strictest in the nation, university president Betsy Hoffman and Chancellor Richard Byny said recruits would now visit the Boulder campus during the offseason so coaches and athletes would have more time to focus on them. All activities would be planned, approved and supervised by a coach.
- The recruits, primarily high school athletes, would also be limited to a single night's stay during campus visits, instead of the usual two. A 1 a.m. curfew will be moved up to 11 p.m.
Seven women have accused Colorado football players or recruits of rape since 1997. The school faces federal lawsuits by three of the women who said they were raped by football athletes during or just after a 2001 off-campus recruiting party.
"As painful an experience as it may be, we view it as an opportunity to set the standard for an issue all colleges and universities must be concerned about," Hoffman said.
Bynyn said the effect of the new guidelines on recruiting was inconsequential. "It really doesn't matter." Bynyn said. "We want to have a model program. We want to make sure students understand they are here first for an education."
Athletics director Dick Tharp said the new policies would be evaluated for other athletic programs.
Football coach Gary Barnett is on paid leave for remarks he made in connection with two of the seven rape allegations, including disparaging the athletic ability of a former player who said she was raped by a teammate in 2000. No charges have been filed in the cases.
Colorado football players also have been accused of hiring strippers for recruits and taking recruits to parties where alcohol was available.
Mary Keenan, Boulder County prosecutor, said she believed the program offered sex and alcohol to lure recruits to Boulder, a claim university officials have denied.
The Board of Regents has appointed a panel to investigate,
and Gov. Bill Owens tabbed the state's Attorney General as a special prosecutor to determine whether criminal charges should be filed. The scandal helped spur a congressional hearing on college recruiting practices that is scheduled for next week.
Hoffman said some of the recruiting changes have been discussed for more than two years. She also said the changes were consistent with what Barnett was considering before he was put on leave.
"There's no question circumstances have thrust us into taking a national leadership role in reforming college sports recruiting." Hoffman said.
An NCAA task force will look at recruiting practices this spring.
"Obviously, the university's leadership is moving in a direction that will help ensure that any
recruiting practices in the future adhere to the university's strict guidelines," NCAA spokesman Jeff Howard said.
University officials announce no personnel changes Thursday. There has been widespread speculation that the scandal will cost Barnett or someone else their job.
The announcement came as the regents added a victims' advocate to the seven-member panel investigating the scandal. Jean McAllister works in the domestic abuse assistance program in the state Department of Human Services and once chaired the board of the Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault.
Barnett has said he expects the football program will be exonerated. He told Denver's KMGH-TV on Wednesday that the school has never used sex and alcohol to land recruits.
"It's urban legend," he said.
Royals' starter rotation list not settled yet
SURPRISE, Ariz. — The Kansas City Royals' rotation is anchored by two 31-year-old left-handers, neither of whom has ever won more than 11 games in a season — and that's the settled part.
The Associated Press
The other three starters are still to be determined.
So when the rotation was listed as a question mark, Brian Anderson didn't disagree.
"We don't have any respect right now and quite honestly we
don't deserve it," said Anderson, one of the two pitchers already named to the rotation. "It's something you have to go out and earn."
Anderson pitched two scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and striking out two, in the Royals' exhibition opener Thursday, a 9-5 loss to the Texas Rangers.
Darrell May, 14-18 in two seasons with the Royals, is the other confirmed starter.
"Come next October and going into spring training next year, maybe they won't be saying that anymore. Until we go out and change that mind-set, that's what people are going to say."
"Other teams will look at Darrell May and Brian Anderson as
our top two guys and say, 'Big deal,'" Anderson said. "We'll see. That perception will be up to us to change.
Anderson went 5-1 with a 3.99 ERA in seven starts last season after the Royals acquired him in a trade with the Cleveland Indians. He went 14-11
with a 3.78 ERA for the season. His 14 victories were a career high.
May went from a 4-10 record with a 5.35 ERA in 2002 to 10-8 with a 3.77 ERA in 2003.
Jimmy Gobble, another rotation candidate, gave up one single and struck out two in two scoreless innings after Anderson departed. Manager Tony Pena said he was pleased with how both pitched.
Notes: All-Star first baseman Mike Sweeney was scratched from the lineup with tightness in
his lower back. "It’s definitely day-to-day," trainer Nick Zwart said
Country music star Garth Brooks, who entered the game in the fifth inning in left field, committed an error and struck out to end the sixth with two runners on base.
Scott Sullivan's first pitch for the Royals was hit out by Hank Blalock. American League 2003 Rookie of the Year Angel Berroa led off the game with a home run. "He's just picking up where he left off last year," Pena said.

Aaron Hood, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, and Jason Zucker, Chicago sophomore, climbed up the rock wall the Student Fitness Recreation Center Wednesday night to attach ropes to pulleys. Hood said he had climbed almost every day for the last two months. Members of the KU Rock Climbing club also use the third floor of the parking garage next to the Kansas Union as a practice site.
ROCK CLIMBING: Climbing club will visit Utah during spring break, its first outdoor experience
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
by climbing horizontally and upside down on low-to-the-ground walls and arches.
The club members also play climbing games by looking for different permutations and new moves on the walls.
"Every day is always different," Miller said.
The KURC is planning a spring break trip to Moab, Utah with about 20 of its members.
Kay said they would spend
the week camping, climbing famous spots such as Indian Creek.
In Utah the club will be crack climbing, a type of climbing where climbers jam and torque their limbs and body into continuous cracks on rocks.
Like many of the club members, the trip to Moab will be Miller's first climbing experience outdoors.

Losing teams improve
The Associated Press
In his debut with the Detroit Tigers yesterday, Rodriguez had two singles and an RBI in a 5-4 victory against the Montreal Expos.
LAKELAND, Fla. — Ivan Rodriguez and Miguel Tejada wasted no time in getting started on helping turn around losing teams.
"With him signing, automatically we've got a chance to win the Central," fellow newcomer Rondell White said. "I don't think there's no one to overpower us."
Rodriguez signed a four-year, $40 million contract in the offseason to help the Tigers rebound from one of the worst seasons in major league history after leading the Florida Marlins to the World Series title.
The 10-time All-Star and Gold Glove winner will try to instill some of that championship swagger on his young teammates.
"We have to win every day, even in spring training," Rodriguez said. "If everything works out well here, we're going to be fine in the season."
Tejada hit a homer off Josh Beckett and the Baltimore Orioles made Lee Mazzilli a 6-5 winner over the Marlins in his first game as a big league manager.
"I'm really happy to hit that home run, and really happy to see my team play good baseball," said Tejada, who signed as a free agent from the Oakland Athletics in December.
The Orioles' two other high-profile acquisitions, Rafael Palmeiro and Javy Lopez, didn't pointeither. Palmeiro had an RBI single with two outs off Beckett in the first and Lopez went 1-for-2 at Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Baltimore second baseman Jerry Hairston broke the ring finger on his right hand while stealing third in the first inning. He will be out at least a month.
In his first action of the spring, Beckett allowed two runs and five hits in 2 2/3 innings. He struck out four and walked one.
Mazzilli was encouraged by his team's success against Beckett, the pitcher who stifled the Yankees in Game Six to clinch the series.
"At the end of the season I went to bed with Beckett on my mind. I wake up in spring training and here he is pitching again," Mazzilli said. "I can't get away from him, I guess."

Spam blocker unveiled
By Noeley J. Spellmeier
spellmeier@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A new program to help control spam at the University of Kansas is being introduced today.
KU Information Technology Services is unveiling the spam filter to help control what it calls a skyrocketing number of junk e-mails.
While the new program will not remove spam from KU accounts, it is supposed to make spam more recognizable and easier to filter. Before any mail is delivered, it will be processed by software. If the e-mail comes from a known spammer it will be tagged by the program. It also determines spam by finding the SpamScore with a series of step-by-step procedures that analyze each email for a common spam code. Spam emails contain codes that reappear indicating that it is probably spam.
cating that it is spam. The more asterisks, the more potential for it to be spam.
All the e-mails will still be received in KU accounts, but those that are tagged will have a subject line of [Spam:****SpamScore]. The number of asterisks in the subject line will vary, depending on how certain the program is that it is spam. The more asterisks, the more potential for it to be spam.
"It does not eliminate spam from coming into the inbox, but it gives you a tool by which you can control it," said Jerree Catlin, associate director of Academic Computing Services.
This gives control to the user, rather than the program.
With this addition, it will be easier for users to create their own filters, Catlin said. They can now set one to filter by the new spam subject line, so anything tagged will automatically be sent to another folder.
Part of the reason this is being done is because spam senders are getting more sophisticated with their subject lines, Catlin said. Some people will set filters so that anytime an e-mail with the word "viagart" is in the subject, it will be filtered out. But spammers began using tricks, such as writing it as "v.i.a.g.a.r.a." to bypass the filter, Catlin said.

Candidates announce platforms
KUnited focuses on tuition contract; Delta Force, a voice on student issues
By Andy Marso
amarso@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
KUnited and Delta Force each released the platform issues they hope will sway voters to their side this weekend.
KUnited is focused mainly on specific campus improvements while Delta Force is focused on broad issues that extend to the national level.
Steve Munch, Bellevue, Neb., sophomore, and Jeff Dunlap, Leawood junior, are KUnited's candidates this year. They announced their platforms Saturday afternoon at a KUnited meeting to a group of about 60 coalition members and supporters.
year.
"The main objective is to ensure people have a fair understanding of what they're getting into when they first enroll," Munch said. "Most importantly, that students aren't getting priced out of an education after they've already started."
The platform included a tuition contract that would lock in students' tuition at the rate it was during their freshman year.
munch said the platform was one of KUnited's most ambitious because it would require a consensus between student leaders, University administrators and state legislators.
But, if implemented, Dunlap said the platform would prevent drastic increases in tuition like those of the last few years, which he said were caused by poor planning on the University's part.
The platform included a long-term plan to unite student governments across the nation to provide a strong voice on student issues on a national level. The plan would start with a conference to bring student leaders together at the University this summer.
stand every year," Dunlap said. "This doesn't handcuff the University, it forces us to plan ahead."
University this summer. McKenzie said the follow-up after the conference would include networking through monthly newsletters. He and Swenson agreed that it was a project that would require a lot of planning and a long-term commitment.
Blake Swenson, Topeka senior, and Kevin McKenzie, Salina sophomore, are Delta Force's candidates. They announced their platform at a house party Saturday night that was attended by about 400 people.
The Delta Force platform included many issues that would require collaboration with the City Commission and the state government. Swenson said Student Senate had narrowed its scope of influence too much in the past few years.
"We decided not to limit ourselves to easy stuff," McKenzie said. "We're going after hard platforms to make meaningful change."
"We'd have to reevaluate where we — Edited by Ashley Arnold.
"We've said we can do these on-campus platforms, but we can also do so much more," Swenson said. "We believe we can do this if the leadership believes in itself and is powerful."

Gay marriage causes split among Democrat legislators
TOPEKA—Although Kansas Democrats deny a split exists in their political party, not everyone at the party's state committee meeting were opposed to a proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution that would ban gay marriage.
The division struck an awkward tone in a two-day affair sponsored by the Kansas Democratic Party.
The gay marriage issue came up Saturday, toward the end of a largely
uneventful business meeting of the state committee.
A proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution passed the House 88-36 on Friday.
The measure would ban gay marriages and civil contracts in Kansas, defining marriage as between "one man and one woman."
The issue evenly divided Democrats on the House floor, where about half voted for the measure and half against.
Steve Brown, chairman of the Kansas Democratic Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Caucus read the names of the 21 Democrats who voted against
the proposed gay marriage ban at the party's committee meeting.
But Brown stopped short of denouncing the proposed amendment in committee
Instead, he and others denounced the effort to stop gays from marrying, saying Democrats "should fight any and all attempts to define marriage in a bigoted and biased way."
"We do not want to take the bait of the Republicans and focus our time, manpower and money on the possible disharmony that could be caused by the differing convictions of all of us within the party," Brown said.

Brazilian Week festivities kick off
Group's week-long celebration will honor Brazilian culture
By Marc Ingber
mingber@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
South America will move north this week when the Brazilian Student Association, or BRASA, celebrates its annual Brazilian Week festival.
The festival will take place all week with a different event every day leading up to the Carnival celebration Saturday night. Students will be introduced to the culture with Brazilian food, martial arts, music, language and more.
Terena Silva, Recife, Brazil, sophomore and social chairwoman for BRASA, said she enjoyed watching the exchange among cultures.
"We know a lot about American culture, but we want to show
more about our culture," she said.
The Brazilian Week events will kick off tonight with Brazilian Night at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
Students will be able to go from table to table experiencing a different part of the culture at each stop.
The tables will include information about Brazilian music, dance, soccer and the Vitoria Program, an exchange program in Brazil .organized by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.
Marcelo Moreira, Recife, Brazil, junior and BRASA treasurer, said he was looking forward to Brazilian Night for the food. It includes "coxinha" and "empadinha", two appetizers with
chicken, "virgideloire," a chocolate dessert, and three types of Brazilian juices. Brazilian Night will get the week's festivities off to a strong start, he said.
Tuesday night will be the Capoeira Workshop at ECM, where students can go to learn the traditional Brazilian martial arts form of Capoeira.
It is a dance-like martial arts form based on kicks that was started by Brazilian slaves to help protect themselves from their masters.
"it's part of our culture, and it's still really popular," Moreira said.
The Samba workshop will be Wednesday night at the Pine Room in the Kansas Union. In Brazil, the Samba, which has many African influences, is a popular form of dance.
"Instead of dancing to hiphop, we dance to these songs," Moreira said.
Thursday night, BRASA will try something it never has before. It will hold Café Brasil at the Hawk's Nest in the Kansas Union, which will feature open mic set up next to the Jaybowl and Brazilian coffee supplied by the Brazilian Cargo Company from Kansas City, Mo. Performers will play a variety of music styles including Bossa Nova and Brazilian rock.
Brackman Rock Friday night will be a night for students to practice speaking Portuguese at the Mesa Brazileira at Free State Brewing Co., 636 Massachusetts St.
A long table will be set up for people to discuss topics ranging from soccer to political issues going on in Brazil.
BRASA holds this event every

Friday night at Café Nova, 745 New Hampshire St. but is holding it at Free State this week for a change of pace.
The grandaddy of all the events will be the Carnival celebration Saturday night at Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St.
Mariana Theodoro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, junior and vice president of BRASA, said the group tried to create the same vibe as the Carnival celebration in Brazil.
'I think the magic behind it is really close. The feeling behind it
is the same," she said.
This year the performer will be Dandara, a popular singer from Brazil. Moreira said that the celebration, which is the Brazilian equivalent of Fat Tuesday, will draw people from other states including Colorado and Nebraska.
Usually about 1,000 people show up but Abe and Jake's Landing has a capacity of only 900, so it's important to get tickets early in the week, he said.
Events, exhibits highlight Women's History Month

During the month of March, Women's History Month, students at the University of Kansas can learn more about the roles of women throughout history.
This year's theme, "Women Inspiring Hope and Possibility," will be demonstrated through campus art exhibits, lectures and performances.
is often forgotten," Cudd said.
The many events and topics during the month will appeal to a wide variety of students, said Ann Cudd, director of women's studies and professor of women's studies and philosophy.
Cudd said that in history and philosophy classes, students typically studied the works of men, although women made valuable contributions in those areas as well.
"I think the history of women
By attending this month's activities, students can celebrate women's progress and talk about what can be done to achieve complete equality, Cudd said.
Having these events at the University makes it possible for students to interact with scholars and experts in the field of women's studies and to have discussions about the topic, Megan Johnson, Troy junior, said.
said.
"With the way history is usually taught, every month is Men's History Month," Johnson said. " Hopefully we can make strides toward fully integrating women's history, in its many forms, into our collective idea of what constitutes the history that is worth teaching and knowing."
Johnson, a women's studies major, said she planned on attending the Women and Modern Art exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art and the video about women artists.
Along with the department of women's studies, the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center will also sponsor several events.
Emily Taylor, creator of the center, said women have come a long way through women's rights movements, but they still have a long way to go in terms of equality.
"I don't think we're making any progress at all," Taylor said.
She said one example of this was the continuing debate over the merit of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision by the Supreme Court to allow women the right to have an abortion. Another example, Taylor said, were instances of unequal pay for women in the job market.

Although Taylor has returned
In 1975, Taylor left the University to become the director of the Office of Women in Higher Education at the American Council on Education in Washington D.C.
to Lawrence to retire, she still occasionally comes to the University to speak to students on how life was for women in the past and today.
She said improvements in the lives of women would indirectly
lead to improvements in the lives of men.
"You can't separate them out," Taylor said. "That's not the way life works."

Smoking ban bad for business: Give consumers choices
Loud music, drinking, laughing and a smoke-filled atmosphere describe the typical bar in Lawrence.
OUR VIEW
As annoying as smoke-filled bars are, the fact remains that it is a choice: A
OUR VIEW
Eliminating smoking in Lawrence's bars is bad for business. There are alternatives to promote non-smoking venues.
NO SMOKING!
IT'S NOT HEALTHY.
"smoking and drinking go hand in hand" patrons to other cities. Kansas City and Topeka are close enough that people who attend bars may choose to travel the distance.
If the coalition succeeds, it could pose economic problems for the city by pushing
choice that the Lawrence Clean Air coalition is challenging. The coalition's goal is to eliminate smoking in Lawrence buildings.
The issue is not a city issue; it is a state issue. It is all or nothing.
The Lawrence Clean Air coalition cannot expect Lawrence to compete with other cities that do not have the bans on smoking. Especially when there are alternatives in Lawrence.
The Bella Lounge, 925 Iowa St., is a non-smoking bar. Marisco's, Sixth St. and Wakarusa Drive, is a non-smoking restaurant. Milton's Coffee, 920 Massachusetts St..is a non-smoking coffee shop.
"Small-business owners have enough regulations. Let us run our businesses without worrying about one more regulation," said Rob Farha, owner of the Bella Lounge.
Farha said having a non-smoking bar was not bringing in as much business as he
expected it would, but he was not discouraged from continuing to offer a smoke-free bar. He said the number of patrons continued to increase.
As another option, Lawrence should
offer tax breaks for business owners who choose to offer non-smoking alternatives. This would encourage more business owners to establish non-smoking regulations.
Wes Benson for The University Daily Kansan
The issue returns to the fact that it is a
choice. People choose to light a cigarette. Customers choose to party where smoking is allowed. Business owners should be able to choose whether smoking is allowed.
Dildos at your door with passion parties
PERSPECTIVE
The age of the edible panty has arrived.
Gone are the days when a lady needed to cloak herself in a trenchcoat and sunglasses to select the proper, um, romantic accessories. There's no need to even leave your home.
Oh yes, the Love Swing and the Happy Heart Massager come to you.
.
What can only be described as a Tuxerware party meets The Dr. Ruth Show, "passion parties," also called "pleasure parties," are not surprisingly rapidly getting a reputation as being hip, salacious and a darn smart business move.
Amy Kelly opinion@kansan.com
Female sexuality is nothing new, of course.
Considering the millions of viewers who shed tears at the demise of Sex and the City, parties centered around sex toys seem a logical next step to keep the moans coming.
Whether for bachelorete parties or a sorority's girls' night out, trips to Priscilla's are now rituals. Embarrassing? An outing is never painful with a group of giggling females. Call it sexual confidence in numbers.
But strip the woman of her girlfriends and entering Priscilla's can suddenly become a game of "let's see how long I can go without making eye contact."
Enter passion parties, which allow the college student, the soccer mom and the Kim Cattralls of the world to have an equal opportunity to explore sexual taboos and still regain a bit of privacy.
Subtract the sex part from the equation and you also have a brilliant entrepreneurial venture for ladies. Considering that the Women's Institute for a Secure Retirement student in 2000 showed that women make 74 cents for every dollar made by a man, a business made for women by women provides females with a niche all their own in the male-dominated business world.
The opportunity is precisely what inspired Tricia Wahl of Oregon to create Delightful Nights in October of last year following a less-than-fulfilling go-round with a corporate-style passion party organization. Wahl said she loved her job, but does have to take precautions in her small town. It's worked — few people know she sells Gold Dust Powder or Tantric Foot Magic.
"All people really see is a UPS truck arrives once a week," said Wahl, who said she was still proud of what she adds to couples' lives. "There's nothing wrong with making your romantic life fun."
The numbers seem to echo that sentiment.
The nationally known company Passion Parties earned $20 million
from its assorted toys, costumes and novelty items in 2003. And just like the Tupperware citadel, Passion Parties is rapidly recruiting women as sales consultants who have the opportunity to make a steady income, travel and possibly earn an automobile bonus — a la Mary Kay.
Dana Wilde, a sales consultant for the Kansas City chapter of Passion Parties, said she noticed an increasing interest for her products by college students.
"I have even gone to college campuses and held parties at two different sororities, two nights in a row," Wilde said.
For the woman looking for part-time work, Wilde added passion party sales consultant fits the bill.
"The money is fantastic and fits well with their class schedules," Wilde said.
Regardless of whether you like the sound of the Flex-O-Pleaser, passion parties seem to be arriving.

International Women's Day: Vaginas are good
Can I say vagina in the Kansan?
I mean, not just making a medical reference, or advertising a play, but actually talking about vaginas?
It's one of those words that will often get you strange looks when it comes up in conversation. "What is that nice girl doing talking about that?" What am I doing? Good question.
Today is International Women's Day. According to the official KU student profile, 52.2 percent of you have vaginas, but I bet most of you, male or female, did not know that March 8 had any such significance. What exactly is the significance of this day for the average student at the University of Kansas?
Girls will scream sisterhood from the rooftops for their sports teams or sororities, but when it comes to real issues, all of a sudden they're skirting away. Who wants to talk about feminism or vaginas these days, anyway?
GUEST COMMENTARY
Laura Rose Barr
opinion@hansan.com
Let's talk about violence. Gender-based violence against women is a pattern that has existed since the dawn of civilization. I am talking about rape, sexual abuse, assault, battery, sexual slavery, incest, forced prostitution, trafficking and honor killings.
If these things don't seem real or pertinent to you, you are fortunate. But one out of three, or 31 percent, of American women report being physically or sexually abused by a partner at some point in their lives. If you are on campus, I bet you can see three women from where you are sitting. Which one do you think it is?
If you think the term "feminist" is too radical or too liberal for you, put it in some perspective. The thought of a woman wearing a pair of pants or having her own career was much more scandalous in the past than most of the current feminist ideals being worked on today.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's face some facts: there is a lot of work that needs to be done in the world to make it a safer place for all the women we know and care about, and all those that we don't.
Dare to be the women (and men) who change history, not those who take it for granted.
So what am I doing talking about vaginas? It's sad and strange how easy it is to call someone a pussy or a cunt, but
vagina is a word that still has that taboo. It should be thus, but out of dignity, not discomfort or disgust.
Vaginas define who we are as women, and womanhood is something no one should be ashamed to write or speak about. Until there is respect in the world for all vaginas, I, for one, am not going to stop saying it.
In honor of International Women's Day, The Vagina Monologues will be presented 7 tonight at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St. Tickets are $10. Proceeds will go to Rape Victim Survivor Services and the International V-Day Campaign to Stop Violence Against Women Worldwide. The Vagina Monologues are sponsored by KU student groups including Amnesty International.

Communication club lacks students
5A
By Rupal Gor
rgor@kansan.com
Kansan writer
Communication studies is one of the most popular majors at the University of Kansas, yet an organization designed for communication majors lacks members.
About 15 to 20 students are in the Students in Communications Studies club, a low number in comparison to the 900 students in the major, said Laura Johnson, president of SCS.
Johnson, Overland Park senior, said she wanted to revive
SCS, a club that began about six years ago. She said the club's goal was to provide peer support among communication students.
Communication studies is the third most popular major after biological sciences and psychology in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said Robert Rowland, chairman and professor of communication studies. He said that classes filled up within the first couple days of enrollment, but that faculty often tried to accommodate extra students.
Johnson said it was frustrating for students who could not enroll in communication classes but she
Adriane Kunkel, assistant professor of communication studies and SCS adviser, said few students joined in the past because of the lack of leadership, but she expected more students to join this semester.
encouraged them to join the club as an alternate learning opportunity
"We've tried to be really good about advertising in class," she said.
Kunkel said the members were also working harder to recruit students outside of class by making banners and word-of-mouth.
She also said that students should join the club even if they
are enrolled in classes because there are opportunities available that they wouldn't learn about in class.
These opportunities include learning about internship opportunities, refining their interviewing skills and meeting communication studies alumni.
The meetings, which are open to current and future communication majors, are held every two weeks. The next meeting will be 6:30 p.m., March 16, in the Kansas Union. The meeting room will be posted that Tuesday.

Art students find niche in downtown cultural hub
By Ron Knox
rknox@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
The grease-laden doormat in the entrance of the Farm Gallery read "Job Safety Begins Here."
This relic of the gallery's past life as a manufacturing warehouse draped the doorway, and led into its rough, open space.
Inside,19 University of Kansas art and design graduate students opened Fresh Produce, an art exhibition located in the blooming Kansas City Crossroads district downtown.
The doormat wasn't the only indication of the gallery's rough past. The ground was paved with concrete, and a single barrel of butane strapped to a small, openfire furnace heated the entire space.
For KU artists, the brutal space provided a fresh break from galleries at the University.
"The space there is very plain," said Nicholas Alley, fine arts graduate student. "This is so raw, so cold. It's a much better place to view art."
For the show, Alley brought three dolls he created, all with the same face but different outfits: one in a tux, one in a shirt and
pants and the other naked.
The dolls were part of a series of 17 Alley created in his own image — each pink, stuffed doll telling a different story from his life.
When Alley first arrived at the gallery, he stood with his dolls, and connected small speakers and CD players to the dolls' podiums. The CDs told the dolls' stories, all taken from Alley's life.
"The stories are all kind of comic, but tragic as well. They're just parts of life," he said.
Alley said that it's easier for him to tell the stories at galleries, where his work is in context with other artist's displays.
"There's a weird anticipation at first, but then you have a couple of beers, and you start relaxing. It's easier to tell people the stories then." Alley said.
As Alley tooled with his display, other artists quietly wandered the floor of the gallery, inspecting all of the art, including their own. In the far corner, tens of hairy, brown clumps hung from string. In the center, a fat mass of brown drizzled down into a puddle on the concrete floor.
Beth Powell, fine arts graduate student, wove her way between the dangling clumps of brown.
"This is real hair," she said, pointing to the clump closest to her. "I'm a hairdresser, when I'm not doing this."
She spoke quietly, hesitating before she said anything.
"There's all kinds of stuff in here— animal bones and teeth and things," she said. She pointed at another clump with jagged white bone jetting out of its center.
"This one," she said, moving further toward the central brown mass. "Now this one has a squirrel foot in it."
Sure enough, a small furry leg reached out from the center of a mass.
"That's why I called it Tumors," she said. "It's that darkness inside of you."
Slowly, Powell began to open up. She looked more comfortable. Her eyes brightened.
"Tumors are like my bad feelings, like insecurities," she said. "The longer you have them, the bigger they get."
As she talked and relaxed, she told more and more of her art's story.
"The more tumors I made," she said, "the better it made me feel."

Kerry says president resisting investigation
JACKSON, Miss. — John Kerry yesterday accused President Bush of "stonewalling" separate inquiries into the events leading up to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorists attacks, as well as into the intelligence that suggested Saddam Hussein was hiding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, endorsed complaints by some members of a federal commission investigating the attacks that Bush was resisting their efforts to get documents and question witnesses.
"Why is this administration stonewalling and resisting the investigation into what happened and why we had the greatest security failure in the history of our country?" Kerry said at a hastily arranged news conference.
"This is another inaccurate attack by John Kerry," responded Bush campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel. He said the Bush administration has provided more than 2 million pages of documents and other materials such as computer disks and tape recordings, in addition to providing extensive briefings and submitting to more than 560 interviews.

Testimony key for Stewart jury
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Jurors who convicted Martha Stewart of lying about a stock sale said they believed the key prosecution witnesses against the homemaking guru and were surprised that her team didn't mount a more aggressive defense.
They also said Stewart's reputation as a stickler for detail belied her claim that she did not remember receiving a message from her broker warning her the price of a stock she held was about to fall.
A jury of eight women and four men deliberated 12 hours over three days before returning guilty verdicts Friday on all four counts against Stewart — conspiracy, obstruction and two counts of making false statements.
The charges relate to an accusation that Stewart lied to cover up the reason she sold shares of ImClone Systems stock in Dec.
Stewart was expected to meet with her probation officer as soon as today.
2001 — avoiding a hefty loss when the company announced bad news the next day.
Prosecutors had offered Stewart a chance last April to plead guilty to just one of the four charges against her — making a false statement — in exchange for a probation sentence, Newsweek reported yesterday, quoting several unidentified sources close to the case. But a defense source told the magazine that prosecutors could not guarantee that Stewart would avoid jail time completely and Stewart refused the offer, Newsweek reported.
Jurors said they were surprised the defense spent less than an hour presenting its side, after the prosecution took four weeks to make its case.
Jurors said the most compelling testimony came from Stewart's assistant Ann Armstrong, who testified that Stewart changed a message from her broker, Peter Bacanovic, that informed her that he thought the ImClone stock price would start falling.
SPAM: Spelling errors in subject line could indicate junk mail

KU e-mail accounts, so students who register accounts from other servers will not benefit.
The software is pretty dependable, but users should always have a virus protection program on their computer, Catlin said. The University offers free virus protection software, Sophos, for faculty and students.
If someone you know sends you an e-mail with an attachment, Catlin said that it would be a good idea to call and confirm
Catlin said if there were a lot of spelling or grammar mistakes in the subject, it was probably spam. This happens because a lot of spam comes from overseas and the translations are poor. If an e-mail comes from an unfamiliar name and has an attachment, it should be deleted, she said. Even opening the e-mail but not the attachment can be dangerous, she said.
In recent weeks a spam-increasing virus has affected most e-mail systems, including the University's. The virus also used contacts from employees' address books and sent them e-mails that looked like they were from other employees.
"It just takes up room, and it's annoying to have to delete 75 percent of your mail."
Dana Brown Wichita junior
that they actually sent it
Students like Dana Brown, Wichita junior, are annoyed with the spam increase, but think the program should just completely eliminate it from accounts.
"Itit takes up room, and it's annoying to have to delete 75 percent of your mail," she said.
But Brown was also not aware of the filtering option. She said if she had known she could have blocked some spam herself, she would have tried, and wants to try it with the new system.
Other students have noticed the increase in spam, but just delete it and don't think about it. Liam Brett, London junior, said he had a lot of messages that didn't relate to his classes, so he figured they were spam and deleted them.
OORE: To alleviate $7 trillion debt, people must 'get back to basics'
-Edited by Ashley Arnold
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Hussein felt the threat of military action, he would flee the country.
"I'm glad Saddam Hussein is gone," Moore said, "but I wish we would have done it differently."
Moore said he wished President Bush would have gathered the same international support for the United States' role in Iraq as it received after September 11. He said the good will the nation received in 2001 was gone.
Moore and about 40 students discussed issues such as national debt, education, gay marriage and prescription drugs during Moore's visit to the University of Kansas on Friday. Moore was the third speaker Student Union Activities invited as part of the Students Learning Through Leaders lecture series. The series invites state and national leaders to speak with students on current political issues.
Before the forum, Moore was named the Conservation Legislator of the Year by the Kansas Wildlife Federation.
The national debt was a hot topic of Moore's lecture. Moore said in order to control the $7 trillion debt, citizens had to get back to fiscal responsibility by getting back to basics.
"If we don't get a handle on this, it's going to destroy our nation," Moore said.
Justin McFarland, Lenexa junior, attended the lecture and student luncheon with Moore before the speech. McFarland, president of the University of Kansas College Republicans, said he regularly attended the lecture series and looked forward to hearing Moore because of his different political background.
Casey Connealy, SUA office assistant and coordinator of the event, said the fact that Moore was a national politician and represented part of Lawrence was why SUA invited him to speak. Having one-on-one time with a Congressman was not something students always get to do, he said.
Moore said he came to the University because his job was not just to speak, but to listen. He said he didn't expect everyone to agree with what he said.
Moore is a 1967 University graduate. His district includes Lawrence, east of Iowa Street and all of Johnson and Wyandotte counties.

Emphatic win closes regular season

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Last week, Kansas senior forward Jeff Graves compared his team's upcoming regular season finale against Missouri to Hollywood's football drama Any Given Sunday.
With that said, it was a bit eerie when Kansas' thrilling 84-82 victory at Missouri played out just like the movie script.
First, a long-fought battle through the bulk of the game. Then, in the waning seconds, the hero gives the visiting underdogs the lead. The stunned home crowd goes silent, the visiting squad pulls off a character-defining defeat in a hostile environment and the hero is mobbed by his teammates.
"I didn't think there was enough time left to pass it to somebody else, so I was just trying to get it up there, and maybe get a tip in or something," a smiling and relieved David Padgett said following the game. "Things were just going my way. It was the last shot I expected to go in."
And, go figure, of all people to play the Superman role for Kansas, it was the man who has been a scapegoat for Kansas fans of late — freshman forward David Padgett.
On a play designed for junior guard Keith Langford, Padgett made good on an awkward-looking baseline jumper, leaving the Tigers paralyzed with two seconds remaining in the game.

"This was a tough loss," he said. "I felt like we should have won the game."
Snyder said he wanted more than anything for Johnson and the three other seniors, Rickey Paulding, Travon Bryant and Josh Kroenke, to walk out of the Hearnes Center for the last time as winners. Despite Johnson's effort, it didn't happen, and now the Tigers must figure out how to move on.
"There is no answer," he said. "Except pick up the pieces and go down to Dallas and fight like hell."

The Jayahawks had yet to come back from a deficit after the seventh inning all season, and entered the bottom of the eighth down 7-6. Junior infielder Mike Dudley scored on an RBI double by junior outfielder J.C. Sibley. Sibley would later score the game-winning run on Baty's single.
A one-out single in the bottom of the eighth inning by sophomore infielder Matt Baty led the Kansas Baseball team to a 8-7 victory against Wisconsin-Milwaukee yesterday. The victory also gave the Jayhawks the series victory, defeating the Panthers two games to one this weekend at Hoglund Ballpark.

Orangemen break jinx, win against Huskies
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Gerry McNamara scored 24 points and Craig Forth had 14 points and 13 rebounds to lead No.24 Syracuse to a 67-56 victory yesterday against seventh-ranked Connecticut.
It was the fifth straight win for Syracuse (21-6, 11-5 Big East) and erased what had been an imposing jinx against the Huskies (24-6, 12-4), who struggled with center Emeka Okafor playing in obvious pain.
Hakim Warrick finished with 19 points and Josh Pace had five points, eight rebounds and four assists, and did not commit a turnover.
Charlie Villanueva had 13 points, Ben Gordon 11 and Rashad Anderson 10 for the Huskies, who were out rebounded 40-33.

Stanford: Finally defeated
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — Perfection eluded the team, and its No. 1 ranking is about to disappear. Stanford will head into the postseason with a blemish.
The mood in the Stanford locker room after the loss was subdued, but composed.
"We are still 26-1," coach Mike Montgomery said Saturday after the Cardinal's 75-62 loss at Washington. "But that season is over now. We are into the second season now."
Players showered and dressed, ate pizza, and talked with reporters. No tears. No sulking.
Curiously, it was almost the same after Thursday night's miraculous comeback victory over Washington State, except there were no smiles on the players' faces this time.
"The fact we are not undefeated doesn't bother me that much," center Rob Little said. "Our goal this year was not to go undefeated."
But the Cardinal still will have the top seed in this week's Pac-10 tournament, and the NCAA tournament looms after that.
Matt Lottich, whose desperate 3-pointer at the buzzer beat eighth-place Washington State on Thursday, denied that Stanford's sloppy performance in the past two games was the result of too much pressure to go undefeated.
"I don't think that had anything to do with it," Lottich said quietly as he sat in front of his locker. "It's easy to make excuses. Give Washington credit. We have not performed well all weekend."
Lottich also drew comfort from the pandemonium that broke out after Washington won, with its fans storming the floor.
"It stinks to lose." Lottich said. "But to see a team so happy when they beat you, you must be pretty good."
Chris Hernandez, who scored 21 points to keep Stanford close, thought the hype over the unbeaten streak might have hurt his team.
"As a player, you hate to think that, but every paper you open up, every time you turn on ESPN, that's what they're talking about."
Last week, Montgomery said he worried every year about his team's trip to Washington and Washington State. Last season, the Cardinal needed an overtime to win in Pullman, then lost at Washington.
"We've always had trouble up there," Montgomery told reporters earlier in the week, citing the cold weather, long distances and sparse crowds. "We've always had close games. We've had to really extend ourselves up there."
Signs of trouble were there for Stanford.
The Cardinal has been without Justin Davis, the team's third-leading scorer and second-leading rebounder, because of a knee injury.

Wildcats take down Longhorns on national television
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN — It's not just that they beat a Top 10 team for the first time in more than two years that had the Kansas State Wildcats so excited.
It's not that this was senior day and the final game of the regular season. It's not that they were playing on national television for the first time in five years.
It was all those things combined that made the Wildcats' 58-48 victory against No.10 Texas so exhilarating.
of fans and students who stormed the court.
Kansas State president Jon Wefalb was as caught up in the emotion as anyone else, even briefly joining the excited throng
Coach Jim Wooldridge, who was under fire from many fans for not making better
progress in his four years, beamed a big smile and did a slow victory walk around the court, holding his arms high in the air like a referee signaling a touchdown.
"I don't think we've had a bigger win," Wooldridge said. "We've had a group of students that have followed us, supported us, believed in us. They've been waiting for an opportunity to celebrate. Today

was their day."
The Longhorns (21-6, 12-4 Big 12) were coming off a loss to Oklahoma State that took them out of contention for the Big 12 title.
They were already guaranteed the No.2 seed in the Big 12 tournament, and may have been indifferent during the relatively unimportant road game.
But that did not stop coach Rick Barnes from being disgusted with his squad. Impatient and careless, Texas showed little desire to deal with Kansas State's 2-3 zone in any other way than standing back and firing away three point shots. They hit only nine of 32.
"We need our whole team to play." Barnes said. "Tonight we had about three or four guys that didn't do their job."
Kansas State played a zone the entire game.
"It's really hard to ask our guards to penetrate when they were as flat as they were in their zone." Barnes said.

in the first half.
"They asked me about a week ago, What's your best moment at K-State," senior guard Jarrett Hart said. "I couldn't answer. I can answer now. This is it."
Teammate Tyler Hughes was even more thrilled.
"We might as well have just won the NCAA championship," he said.
Texas, the No.1 rebounding team in the Big 12, was outrebounded 43-32.
"It might sound funny, but we were still feeling good at the half," said Jeremiah Massey, who
nailed the final two points and finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Wildcats. "We were playing great defense, but we just couldn't get shots to fall. But we knew sooner or later they would fall."
Even though they shot just 19 percent in the first half, the Wildcats still trailed only 22-17 because the Longhorns tied their season low for a half.
"I don't know," Texas guard Royal Ivey said when asked to pinpoint the Longhorns' problem. "It was just everything. We couldn't hit shots. We missed some tough shots and we took some tough shots, and they killed us on the boards. They played harder than us."
Maddux makes successful debut
The Associated Press
MESA, Ariz. — Greg Maddux's return to the Cubs was a successful one yesterday, as he gave up one hit in two scoreless innings in Chicago's 4-4 tie with the Kansas City Royals.
The teams agreed to end the game after nine innings.
Maddux, who last pitched for the Cubs in 1992, threw 23 pitches — 15 for strikes.
Royals
"It felt good," he said. "I saw good, and that was important. I saw the ball. I saw the strike zone good. I saw the ball coming off the bat. That's always a good sign."
The Cubs signed Maddux as a free agent last month after he spent 11 seasons with the Atlanta Braves.
Maddux gave up a single to the Royals' Desi Relaford leading off the game. Adrian Brown was called out on strikes before Matt Stairs lined to shortstop Alex Gonzalez, who tagged out Relaford for a double play.
In the second inning, Joe Randa led off with a flyout before Maddux struck out Kelly Stinnett and Aaron Guiel.
and Aalton. "He looked like Maddux," said Cubs manager Dusty Baker. "Had them off-balance, throwing strikes and mixing it up. This is how he pitches."
The Cubs gave Maddux all the offense he needed in the first. Tom Goodwin led with a triple., After Alex Gonzalez grounded out, Sammy Sosa walked.
The Royals scored an unearned run in the sixth inning and three in the seventh against Cubs reliever Francis Beltran.

Conference) gave No. 21 Kansas (20-7, 12-4) all it could handle in the final regular-season game played at the Hearnes Center.
Offensively, both teams started the game with hot hands, scoring a combined 37 points in the first seven minutes of play. With junior forward Wayne Simien struggling early to score, Langford picked up his play, scoring 11 of Kansas' first 15 points. Missouri's senior tandem of forwards, Arthur Johnson and Rickey Paulding, matched Kansas in the final home game of their collegiate careers.
Johnson scored 15 of his career-high 37 points in the first half.
The two teams were gridlocked at halftime, 40-40, with neither squad having enjoyed a lead of more than six points.
Early in the second half, with Kansas leading 43-40 off of a three-pointer by junior guard Aaron Miles, Simien and Johnson locked horns in a battle during the next four minutes.
But instead of capitalizing, the Jayhawks allowed the Tigers to crawl right back. "We didn't have
The two combined to score the game's next 16 points. One side finally gave way, as Kansas reeled off a 9-0 run with just less than seven minutes left in the game, and led 77-67 with 4:53 remaining.
Those great plays for Missouri came on the defensive end, and after missing six straight free throws, the Tigers made seven straight as part of their own 9-0 run.
any offense the last four minutes at all," coach Bill Self said. "We played not to lose, and they made some great plays.
Then, with the score 79-78 in favor of Kansas and 30 seconds left to play, junior guard Jason Conley deflected an inbound pass by Kansas freshman guard J.R. Giddens. Conley took the ball on a fast break, and put the Tigers up 80-79 with an emphatic dunk.
With Kansas trailing, Miles,
just as he did last season to tie the
game, hit a clutch three with 20
seconds left. Conley evened the
score at 82-82 with two free
throws, but Kansas had one final
possession and 15 seconds left on
the clock.

It was just enough time for Padgett to find the ball in his hands, with the game in the balance.
The freshman delivered the two points along with the Jayhawks 20th victory of the season.
"It was an unbelievable shot," Self said. "It was probably as big of a shot I've ever had a freshman make. He struggled a little bit here lately, and for him to make that shot gives him a little bit of confidence."
The confidence boost could
not come at a better time for Padgett, who has had a rough patch as of late. During the five games before Missouri, Padgett had averaged just 4.4 points and 3.2 rebounds per game — both well below his season averages. Even though his numbers were still down a bit, Padgett proved to his teammates he's ready for the big-time games to be played in the coming weeks.

"That was a freshman stepping up and doing big things," Miles said. "He gets a lot of criticism from fans. I don't even call them people fans, those who criticize him. But for him to step up there and make that shot and just believe in himself, shows a lot of character and toughness."
Simien led the Jayhawks, scoring 16 of his team-high 22 points in the second half. Langford scored 19, and pulled down seven rebounds. Aaron Miles' 15 points gave him his highest scoring output since recording 16 points on Dec. 13 against Oregon.
Keith Langford, junior guard, scrambled for a loose ball against Travon Bryant, senior forward, during the first half of yesterday's game in Columbia, Mo. The Javhawk beats the Tigers 84-82.
Along with Padgett, Giddens was able to stop Missouri's momentum on several occasions with his sharp shooting. Giddens' 14 points were highlighted by four huge three-point field goals.
"I think it gives us a bit more of an edge," Giddens said. "We had a lot of pressure on us today. David stepped up. I think I stepped up. We took care of business, and I guess we can't be freshmen anymore."
The jayhawks, which entered yesterday's game as three-point underdogs, could now set up a rematch with the Tigers in their Big 12 Tournament opener on Friday. Missouri finishes the season in sixth place in the conference, and will have to defeat 11th-seeded Texas A&M Thursday to have its third shot at Kansas.
Most importantly for Kansas, the triumph snapped the Jayhawks' recent four-game road
losing streak. Even though Kansas will not have the comforts of a home crowd until next fall, the players figure if they can win in the environment they faced yesterday, it doesn't get much tougher.
"A lot of times at home we have the crowd behind us, providing a lot of energy for us," Miles said. "On the road, we're kind of by ourselves and have to provide our own energy. To be able to do that was important."

So close, but far away
Haitian Studies students, professor speak about conflict

Kansas staff writer
Although the recent violence and chaos in Haiti is thousands of miles away, the news has hit close to home for a small group from the University of Kansas.
For Enel Estinfils, former resident of Port-au-Prince, one of the hardest things is hearing what's going on in the country but not be able to do anything about it.
He said he still had a lot of friends and family back in Haiti, but they were located mainly in the northern part of the country away from most of the violence.
"Where it's quiet,it's quiet,but where it's hot,it's really hot," Estinfils said.
He said during some of the worst times, he tried to talk to his friends and

Kansas jumps into gay-marriage debate

The firestorm over gay marriage has arrived in Kansas.
issue to the issue. The amendment is similar to a national amendment proposed by President George W. Bush that unequivocally defines marriage as union between a man and a woman.
On Friday, the Kansas House of Representatives proposed an amendment to the state constitution banning same-sex marriages, bringing a national issue to the local forefront.

Justin McFarland, Lenexa junior and president of the KU College Republicans, agreed with the president's statement but has reservations.
Kansas is among 34 states with laws against gay marriages. State legislators in at least 15 of these states are considering adding constitutional amendments to reflect these laws. Constitutions in Alaska, Hawaii, Nebraska and Nevada have already been amended.
"It was absolutely crazy." Aaron Glover, Wichita freshman, said. "By saying gay marriage is wrong, how can we as a country say that this man is working for the equality of all Americans?"

The Kansas House of Representatives passed the Kansas Economic Growth Act Fcb.26 in a 119-6 vote and is now before the Senate Commerce Committee. The act wiphon $500 million in taxes from bioscience industry growth over the 12 years for research and business development.
"We are educating the next generation of biological scientists," Krishtalka said.
faculty and administration Leonard Kristishka, director of the Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center, said the act would provide much-needed funding for research and education that would benefit both undergraduate and graduate students.
In order to better do that, the University needs equipment and laboratories, which he said are "desperately lacking and far behind other institutions in the nation."
Some of those scholars would come to the University, said Rep. Kenny Wilk (R-Lansing), chief sponsor of the bill.
The University, including the University of Kansas Medical Center, currently employs 68 percent, or 5,772 of the university bioscience researchers in the state, said Interim Vice Provost for Research James Roberts. The University's size, pioneering traditions, schools and research facilities have attracted those researchers, he said.
A bioscience authority — not the University would determine who would come to the University and what types of facilities would be built, according to the news release.

according to the news The authority would consist of 11 members of the science community from across the state. Two would be representatives of state universities.
Joint research efforts that the University has with other institutions, such as cancer research with the Med Center, would also benefit.
Nearly every research area at the University stands to benefit from the act, Roberts said.

James Orr, chair of the Division of Biological Sciences, said that as the University becomes bigger and better, the degrees students receive here will mean more to potential employers.
With the passage of the Kansas Economic Growth Act, those potential employers would be in Kansas. The act would create 43,000 jobs and 100 bioscience companies in 10 years, according to Aurand's Web site.

Feb. 29 at the age of 83.
"He and his wife are very much a part of that building," Weinberg said. "There just isn't another place on campus that would be as meaningful as the museum."
Jeff Weinberg, family friend of the Wescoes, said in addition to being generous donors, the Wescoes loved the museum and helped make it what it is today, said Weinberg.

Student fee given to campus media
By Andy Marso
amarso@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Student Media Board, a division of Student Senate, distributed $182,800 in student fees to four campus media outlets last week.
The board allocated funds to KJHK, The University Daily Kansas, KUJH and Kiosk, a student art and literature magazine published once every semester.
KJHK, the campus radio station, got $90,000, the largest allocation. Control of the station, 90.7 FM, moved from the School of Journalism to the Kansas Union on lan. 5.
"We're still getting up and rolling with the Union and we needed a little more to get that under way." Andy Dierks, Union program advisor said.
Dierks said some of the money would be used for technology upgrades.
the Kansan received $70,000,
an increase of $17,800 compared
with last year's allocation of $52,200.
Malcolm Gibson, general manager and news adviser of the Kansan, said Lindsay Poe, Student Media Board chairwoman, did a great job.
"I'm ecstatic with the decision, but I take even greater pleasure in the fact that the meeting was handled in such a way that we discussed substantive issues," Gibson said.
Gibson said that the money would go into the general salary pool.
KUJH, the campus television station, received $14,000. The station is planning to use the money to move toward more original programming, including producing more shows and running fewer re-runs.
The Kiosk received $8,800. Poe said the magazine was the only media outlet that received all the money it requested.
"It seemed like Kiosk didn't ask for extra," Poe said. "They asked for just exactly what they

The Student Media Board allocated $182,800 of student fees last week to four campus media outlets. A breakdown of where the funds went:
■ KJHK — $90,000
■ The University Daily
  Kansan — $70,000
■ KUJH — $14,000
■ Kiosk — $8,800
needed."
The $8,800 will be used to produce the magazine and also an accompanying CD of slam poetry.
Every year the board distributes the money from the Student Media Fee, which is $6 per year for every student. This year's Student Media Fee totaled about $143,900. The amount of money for the board to allocate got a $39,000 boost from the Senate reserve account this year.
The reserve account grew substantially this year because of an increase of more than 1,000 students this year in enrollment. Many Student Senate boards including the Student Media Board, received increases in their budget.
"We made it very clear that this was a one-time deal," Poe said. "We suggested they use it for capital improvements, like buying equipment."
The board denied funding to the University's Public Relations Student Society of America. Poe said the group didn't ask for a large amount of money, but the board decided that their publication was a newsletter that would only reach a small niche audience. The board's guidelines state that only groups that publish or broadcast widely on campus should be funded.
After the board finished its allocations there was $100 left over that went back into the Senate reserve account.

HAITI: Conflict affects students
Freeman said he had traveled to Haiti approximately 80 times since 1958. His most recent visit was a two-month stay last summer.
Freeman said if he returned to Haiti, he would probably be a resource to journalists. But he said it was anyone's guess when that would happen because airlines were not allowing people to fly into the country.
During the early '90s, Freeman worked in Haiti with Pax Christi, an international human rights organization that investigated possible human rights violations. He also worked as an adviser to the United States and United Nations and as a trainer for U.N. observers going into the country.
Katie Griggs, a former student
"The decision is out of my hands so I'm just waiting right now.It's hard to hear about it here and not be down there."
Katie Griggs former Haitian Studies student
of Freeman's from Topeka, first traveled to Haiti in February of 1998 and has made 12 to 14 trips since then. She has accepted a job at a hospital in Port-au-Prince but must wait until flights are allowed into the country and she feels it's safe enough.
"The decision is out of my hands so I'm just waiting right now," Griggs said. "It's hard to hear about it here and not be down there."
Griggs said that despite the turmoil she will still go to Haiti this semester if she is allowed.
Rapid apartment growth, bad market may hurt developers

In February, the city of Lawrence Planning Department was working on plans for 300 new apartments. But the demand for apartments has been decreasing since 2001, said Tim Keller, owner of the appraising company, Keller & Associates, 123 W. Eighth St.
Where are students going?
Keller conducts an annual survey of Lawrence apartment vacancy rates. In 2003, he surveyed 2,934 out of the 8,598 total Lawrence apartments. Approximately 8 percent of apartment units were vacant in 2003, while four percent were empty in 2001. The city of Lawrence defines an apartment unit as a one room or a suite of two or more rooms.
An increase in the number of townhomes and first-time homeowners in a low-interest economy has steered students away from renting apartments.
More students lived in greek housing in 2003 than in 2001. Fraternities and sororities housed 6,960 students in 2001 and 7,300 students in 2003.

Builders continue to construct apartments because it is an ideal time to borrow money from banks, said Kirk McClure, associate professor in urban planning. The national prime interest rate, or rate that banks use as a guideline in lending money, sunk to 4 percent in 2003. In January 2001, the prime rate peaked at 10 percent.
Because of the decreased interest rates, builders are willing to take on riskier deals than
they would otherwise, McClure said. High vacancy rates and low rents threaten builders now, he said.
But McClure does not think the city should put a cap on the number of apartments built.
While this is not an ideal time
"They're big boys," McClure said. "If they're dumb enough to build when they know darn well they'll suffer from low rents and high vacancies, it's their decision."
to build an apartment complex, builders will not be hurt in the long-term. he said.
"Right now the key thing is that vacancy rates cycle over short periods of time," McClure said. "When you build an apartment complex, you're going to own and operate it for many years."
In 1997, Doug Compton opened Highpointe apartments, 2001 W. Sixth St., when vacancy rates soared at 9 percent and rental rates plummeted. Apartment construction was abundant; in 1997, seven apartment buildings went up as well as 37 duplexes, 10 triplexes and one four-plex opened.
Thomas Fritzel of Gene Fritzel Construction is building a housing complex at Kasold Drive and Peterson Ave. The complex,
"They're big boys. If they're dumb enough to build when they know darn well they'll suffer from low rents and high vacancies, it's their decision."
Kirk McClure associate professor in urban planning
called Hutton Farms, will feature single-family homes, duplexes and apartments.
While Fritzel is putting nail to wood, Bill Newsome, owner of 6Wak Land Investments, is putting pen to paper as he polishes his preliminary building plans. He plans to build an apartment complex at Sixth Street and
Wakarusa Drive. If the city completes and approves his plan, he said he would not build until he thought the market had improved.
Others think people have built more apartments in the past five years because the Lawrence City Commission has gradually raised the cost of owning a water meter over a five-year span. James Dunn, secretary of the Lawrence Landlords Association, said he saw a rush of apartments open because of this.
Ed Mullins, city finance director, said apartments most likely did not open up because of the gradual increase.
"I have a hard time believing they would make that large of a financial decision based on a small increase," Mullins said.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Same-sex marriages being used to gain votes
In response to the debate over same-sex marriage and the sanctity thereof, President Bush said he would support amending the U.S. Constitution to limit marriage to a man and a woman.
AMENDMENT KS GAY MARRIAGE
Most questions of legality and
OUR VIEW By focusing on same-sex marriages, the Bush administration is looking to divide political parties and gain votes.
morality aside, the interesting angle on this is the political reasoning behind such an
amendment. During an election year, and early in the campaign this action suggests an air of desperation.
Since the end of January, the Bush administration has been faced with dwindling poll numbers, a lackluster State of the Union and Meet the Press performance, continued unrest in Iraq and the likely prospect of having negative job growth in its first term. In order to head off fears of falling behind to the asyet-named Democratic nominee, the president and his chief adviser, Karl Rove, rolled out this amendment to shore up the social-conservative constituency that the Republican Party is so heavily counting on for retaining the White House.
Perhaps the president really does, in his heart, believe that same-sex couples shouldn't be
allowed to marry, or that they should be limited in their rights and benefits. This amendment proposal—a radical suggestion which he says is in response to activist judges and courts in
Massachusetts and lately San Francisco, will play off to some people as bold, but may end up backfiring if the amendment doesn't make it through Congress. And if it gets through Congress, it still has to be ratified by three-fourths of the states.
The debate over marriage, as with most of the other major issues in this campaign, is full of nuance, and its solution,
Zach Newton for The University Daily Kansas
although likely to be far from perfect, will have to be crafted through compromise and at the state level. The only point proven so far: The president is a divider, not a uniter.
PERSPECTIVE
Acceptance not a frill; religion not an excuse
On Feb. 27, 2004, The Baylor Lariat, the student newspaper of Baylor University, published an editorial supporting San Francisco's decision to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
The editorial raised the hackles of Baylor Bears from parents to administrators.
Robert J. Sloan Jr., president of Baylor, said in a statement that the editorial view was out of touch with the university's Christian values. He also said that the statement violated the school's publications policy, which says that no publication can take a stance "attacking the basic tenets of Christian theology or of Christian morality."
COMMENTARY
Jonathan Reeder
opinion@kansan.com
Religion is an attractive scapegoat, but it isn't the true problem. The problem is our inability or unwillingness to accept people or customs different from our own. In this country we have an inability to accept people who are different — an inability made evident by the fact that there is so much resistance to the idea of same-sex marriage.
The debate has brought America's Christian foundation to the fore. A man at the march stated that the institution of marriage was a religious tradition dating back thousands of years. The argument is not original. Some of the loudest opposition to same-sex marriage comes from religious sources. A religious-rights law firm in New York is seeking the removal of Jason West, New Paltz mayor, who performed same-sex marriages, and the firm is asking the state Supreme Court to bar same-sex marriages.
In early February, hundreds of people gathered in Boston to support the proposed Constitutional amendment that would define marriage as "the union of one man and one woman." The amendment would overturn the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruling allowing same-sex marriages.
TALK TO US
There is not a fact-based argument that these marriages will have a definite negative effect on the United States. But according to one interpretation of U.S. Census information from 2000, there are roughly 600,000 same-sex couples who might benefit from legalization.
As future policy makers and parents, we should take note of the struggle and work in whatever way possible to make same-sex marriage a reality. It is a small step toward achieving equality. We must learn to accept that people have the right to live their lives as they choose.
The same-sex marriage debate is part of the most important civil-rights battle of our generation. It is unfortunate that so many people view the issue as an attack on their religion, because homosexual couples aren't trying to destroy or change anyone's religious beliefs. They are simply seeking the same rights as everybody else. The people working against same-sex marriage are endorsing nothing less than segregation based on sexuality.
The Kansan welcomes letters to the editors and guest columns submitted by students, faculty and alumni. Kansan reserves the right to edit.
Because it is a private university, Baylor has the right to insist that its values be respected and followed by its students and faculty members. It has the luxury of existing in a microcosm. America cannot allow itself that luxury.

ON POLITICS
Last November, the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health that it was against the Massachusetts Constitution to preclude homosexual couples from entering into marriage. San Francisco has allowed same-sex marriage, and couples have been flocking to the city — most notably former talk show host Rosie O'Donnell and her partner.
Protecting tradition not 'hateful'
President Bush has just stated his support for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would limit marriage to its traditional status of a legal relationship between one man and one woman. Clearly this topic is the hot social debate of the moment.
The language with which this issue is being discussed is typical of our vitriolic political climate. The unfallingly morally relativistic U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) has denounced Bush for being the "first president [in history] to try to write discrimination back into the Constitution."
The aforementioned O'Donnell had this to say: "I think the actions of the president are, in my opinion, the most vile and hateful words ever spoken by a sitting president."
COMMENTARY
That sounds a little harsh there, Rosie, but the implications of this sort of talk are clear: same-sex marriage is the next major civil-rights issue, following in the tradition of women's suffrage and the

black civil rights movements.
Who are you discriminating against today?
My biggest problem with same-sex marriage is that it looks like the issue is going to be decided in the courts. We should all be afraid at the frequency with which our legislative process is bypassed.
The term "activist judge" scares me as much as the possibility of an AI Sharpton presidency. If homosexuals want to marry, let them lobby Congress, elect officials and have their case tried before the greatest court of all: American public opinion.
Furthermore, it pains me to see labels like "discriminatory" and "hateful")
How dare you attempt to impose your beliefs on others! Who are you to decide who can marry and who cannot? We all draw our lines in the sand somewhere; we all decide at what point we are going to discriminate.
being applied to people who do not wish to see the traditional scope of marriage altered.
Let us assume that we get a decision handed down by a court that says that legal marriage cannot be denied to consenting individuals based on sex. The problem of discrimination is taken care of, right? Wrong. We have to consider polygamists and those with a penchant for incest. After all, both of these can be fully consensual relationships between two (or more) rational individuals. Why should they not be allowed to marry?
Pirotte is a Joplin, Mo., senior in history.
I am not attempting to make comparative moral judgments about these various sexual activities, I am merely trying to describe the full ramifications of what is going on in Massachusetts and California.
If you are for same-sex marriage but don't think a brother and a sister should be allowed the same freedom or don't think I should be able to take 30 wives, let me be the first to welcome you to the world of hateful discrimination.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 9).
Don't be impatient to get the payoff. Make a long-term investment. A brilliant idea increases your influence as well as your status. Schedule a romantic vacation for autumn or winter.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 5.
Delegate as much as you can.
Make it easy on yourself. The money will keep flowing in once you have the job organized.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
If you develop your creative talents, you'll save a lot of money. That's such a good motivator that you won't mind if the job is sometimes annoying.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7. Be willing to listen to a suggestion that at first seems outrageous. A person with a different perspective can help you see outside the your narrowly confined space
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7. Finish fixing up your place so
that you can entertain. A romantic evening for two tomorrow night would be perfect.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is 6.
A surprising development makes it much easier to get something that you want. A loved one could do something unexpected and very nice. Don't assume the worst.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is 7.
Something at home that you'd just as soon get rid of is quite valuable. If it isn't yet, you can make it that way with just a little more work. This could be the answer to a prayer.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
You may surprise yourself with the results you produce now. It may even feel as if there's somebody helping you achieve your goals. And if you're a spiritual person, you probably can guess who.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
Private transactions lead to a prize or get you directions to a hidden treasure. You have a lot of contacts, so check around
and let them know what you need.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 5.
It's OK to lean on your friends every once in a while. They all lean on you. You'd like to look like you never need any comforting, but that's no fun.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
Finish a project for somebody else, just because you said you would. Don't even think about what you'll get for it. A smile is a great reward.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7
Make a contact with someone whom a friend told you about. Your follow-through will make a wonderful impression, and that is money in the bank.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
An older person can teach you a lot about money and quality. You often have to pay more for the best, but not if you know where, and how, to look.

STUDENT: Wants to return to help Haitians
"If all students at KU were not only as interested in their studies, but also as excited as Matt, this would be a much more serious university." Freeman said.
CONTINUED FROM 1A
"There is no way for a white person to hide down there," he said.
Thornton spent two weeks in Haiti the summer after his sophomore year. He said he was terrified for the first few days. He was often the recipient of local animosity toward foreigners. He said people would call him "blan", the derogatory term for any foreigner — white or black.
With his pale skin and blonde hair, Thornton couldn't help standing out.
Thornton adjusted to this culture shock after his third day in the country. He traveled and spent a few days in the mountains.
Thornton spent as much of the two weeks as he could taking in the culture and talking to the locals. Thornton said that when he talked to people about politics three years ago, most were in favor of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the now former president of Haiti, who is in exile.
"He was like Jesus to them," he said. "It was amazing how much they loved that man."
Aristide's support began to decline when the international community didn't give him enough support to stand on, Thornton said. Most of the people Thornton knows who study Haiti are saddened but not surprised by the current political situation in Haiti. He said that the United States has neglected the situation in Haiti, and instead focused its attention on other countries, such as Iraq.
"Bv not defending democracy
where it already exists just 700 miles away, we look like hypocrites." he said.
Thornton's immersion in Haitian culture opened his eyes to the situation in Haiti.
"People are really struggling for their lives there," he said.
Thornton was amazed by how the country remained so beautiful despite everything that was wrong within it, said Katie Reese, a Topeka senior who has known Thornton for five years.
Thornton attributed much of the beauty to the dignity of the people. They are proud of themselves and of their country in the midst of their struggle for change, he said.
After graduating, Thornton said that he hoped to spend time working in Haiti either with the Peace Corps or some other humanitarian organization.

MARRIAGE: Kansas legislators propose amendment
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Don Haider-Markel, associate professor of political science, said he thought the state constitution would be amended to include a ban on same-sex marriage. A two-thirds majority in the Senate will need to pass the bill before it can be put before the public on the November ballot. A simple majority in that vote would add the amendment to the Kansas Constitution.
Haider-Markel said he didn't think states' actions would influence national action. A national amendment would probably pass the U.S. House of Representatives, but he does not think it will pass in the Senate. The bill would need a two-thirds majority in each. If the bill passed both houses, it would then go to the states, where three-fourths of the state legislators would have to pass it.
benefits, Social Security benefits, hospital visitations and inheritance. Legal recognition of same-sex marriages would make it easier for these couples to adopt children, according to the Human Rights Campaign, America's largest gay and lesbian organization.
Same-sex marriage would provide gay and lesbian couples with more than 1,049 federal rights and benefits that they currently cannot receive. These include health care
Republicans oppose same-sex marriage for numerous reasons, including the couples' inability to have children, said Sam Arif, KU College Republicans public relations coordinator.
Opponents of same-sex marriage also cite the Bible. Ben Beiler, a Topeka senior on the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center Student Advisory Council, said the Bible was a story of marriage. He said God commanded Adam and Eve be fruitful and multiply.
Then there is the classic slippery slope argument, that says once same-sex marriage is legalized, many other alternative lifestyles such as polygamy, incest and bestiality may become acceptable. In the end, marriage in general could become a farce, Arif said.
Robert Minor, professor of religious studies and an authority on gender issues and gay/straight relationships, has a different take on the Bible. He said throughout history people had interpreted the Bible to support cultural attitudes and prejudices.
A local group, Freedom Coalition, is working to maintain gay, lesbian, bisexual and transsexual rights in Lawrence. The group supports a 1994 law called "Simply Equal" that defends against discrimination based on sexual identity.
Mike Silverman, Lawrence resident and coalition member, said that he would like to see an ordinance on civil unions, which would give same-sex couples rights such as tax breaks.
Mike Rundle, city commissioner, said he has looked into civil unions in other cities and might support an initiative here.
Sue Hack, city commissioner,
said she doubted gay marriage
should be a city issue.

The best of the Big 12 Conference
Zach Newton/Kansan
By Ryan Greene greene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Big 12 regular season has ended, and seeds for this week's conference tournament have been solidified. With all of the surprises and disappointments of the conference season, The University Daily Kansan would like to take some time to recognize our all-conference performers for the 2003-04 season. Some say it was a down year in the conference, but in truth it was just balanced. These were the players and coaches who made it one of the most exciting to follow and watch.
All-Big 12 First Team
Wayne Simien, junior forward, Kansas — Solid all year, Simien's also done something he hasn't done in past years: stay healthy for nearly the whole season. The Leavenworth native led the Jayhawks in both scoring (17.6 points per game) and rebounding (9.0 rebounds per game), and both of those totals ranked second in the conference. Just as important as his super-sized numbers have been Simien's energy and intensity. The only question lingering about Simien is whether he'll be back in a Kansas uniform for his senior campaign or leave early for the NBA.
Andre Emmett, senior forward, Texas
Tech — As up and down as Texas Tech's season has been, Emmett has been the one consistent piece. The senior from Dallas led the conference in scoring at a 20.8-point-per-game clip. He has also provided valuable senior leadership for a team that is talented, but whose best players are young. Emmett also ranked 10th in the conference with 6.7 rebounds per game, and was named Big 12 Player of the Week five times this season. That included garnering the honor three straight weeks in late December and early January.
Brandon Mouton, senior forward, Texas — He doesn't have numbers that jump out at you, but Mouton plays a
more important role than any other for a deep Texas roster — "Glue Guy." On a team that features eight players who could start for most teams, Mouton has provided leadership and crucial performances in the biggest of situations. Even though he only averaged 13.6 points per game, Mouton had a crucial stretch in late February, when he averaged 22.8 points over five games that included huge victories over Kansas, Texas Tech and Oklahoma.
Tony Allen, senior guard, Oklahoma State —The Chicago native proved last year's Big 12 Newcomer of the Year award was no fluke. The senior averaged 16.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.0
assists teaming up with John Lucas to make one of the country's best backcourts. His best performance was in a loss to Missouri where he scored 24 points, had nine rebounds, five assists and three blocks. But Allen did the little too, leading the conference in steals at 2.1 per game, and shot nearly 49 percent from the floor.
John Lucas, junior guard, Oklahoma State—After transferring from Baylor to Oklahoma State this season, Lucas proved he could play on a good team too. The tiny 5-foot-9-inch guard averaged 14.9 points per game, and was

Jayhawks to take on Bears in tournament
By Jesse Newell
jnewell@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas has suffered a disappointing end to the regular season with nine straight losses, but Kansas interim women's coach Lynette Woodard can't stop believing.
Woodard is convinced her team has at least one victory left in it.
"I believe we can do it." Woodard said. "I'm going to keep believing until the end."
The Jayhawks' final chance will come at 2:30 p.m. today when they take on No. 14 Baylor Bears at the first round of the Big 12 Tournament in Dallas.
Kansas enters as the No. 12-seed, the lowest in the tournament. Baylor comes as the No. 5 seed.
"We've got 40 minutes to make a difference," Woodard said. "We can get better—we can do better."
The Jayhawks performed well in their first meeting with the Bears on Jan. 21 in Waco. The 'Hawks hit their first eight shots and took an early 14-7 advantage. They led the then-No. 19 Bears 40-37 at the half.
But Baylor's post players dominated down the stretch, keying a 27-7 run to end the game and give the Bears an 85-
Kansas will look to not only overcome its nine straight losses, but also distractions on and off the court. Former coach Marian Washington officially retired last week after taking a month-long medical leave of absence.
"They know our potential," Kemp said, "so it's not like they are going to take us for granted."
Jayhawk sophomore forward Crystal Kemp said the Jayhawks' strong performance against the Bears might actually hurt their chances today.
"If there's any time to come together." Woodard said, "it is now."
Jeff Brandsted/Kansan
66 victory. Bears' forwards Steffanie Blackmon and Sophia Young combined for 43 points to lead the Baylor charge.
Kansas has battled in its last nine games but hasn't recorded a victory since Jan. 31 against Oklahoma State. The losses have taken a toll on the team's confidence, with the defeats still fresh on the players' minds.

"It's hard to forget, but we have to if we want to be on an even playing field," sophomore guard Erica Hallman said. "Right now we're not."
A loss to Baylor would bring an end to Kansas' 2003-2004 season. The Jayhawks would need to win to extend their season, with the winner of today's game playing No. 4-seeded Texas Tech tomorrow.
Freshman guard Erica Hallman directs a play during a 2004 home game against Nebraska Kansas will take on Baylor in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament today in Dallas.
Though the previous losses were disappointing, a win over Baylor now looms most important in Woodard's mind.
"If you were to ask me which one would I take now," Woodard said "I'd take Baylor over all of them."
"It's either going to be fight or flight," Woodard said, "and we've got to fight."

University of Iowa explores football recruit sex scandal
backer Abdul Hough.
"It made it seem like I was there and Abdul brought that girl in and we started doing stuff," Patton told The Register. "It wasn't like that. He didn't introduce me. I walked up to the girl and met her myself."
IOWA CITY, Iowa — A deputy state attorney general will investigate an Iowa football recruit's sexual liaison with a student during a campus visit last fall. university President David Skorton announced yesterday.
Douglas Marek will look into reports by The Manhattan Mercury that high school quarterback Nick Patton had sex with a student he met on campus and whether football players or team officials had anything to do with the encounter.
Skorton announced Friday he would appoint an independent investigator, after the paper reported the story with an interview from Patton.
The young quarterback, who signed with Kansas State, has denied that university officials had anything to do with his encounter with the woman.
Patton was quoted by The Des Moines Register in a copyright story yesterday as he met the woman at a bar in downtown Iowa City and later had consensual sex with her in his hotel room, which was paid for as part of his recruiting visit.
Last week, Patton told the Kansas newspaper that he thought that the woman had been assigned to him and that their sexual encounter occurred at the residence of his host, Iowa linebacker Abdul Hodge.
The Register interviewed Patton on Sunday at the home he shares with his grandparents in Winfield.
Ned Seaton, general manager of The Mercury, said yesterday he expects the investigation to show the newspaper's reporting was accurate.
"Clearly, we stand behind the story and we stand behind Mark Janssen," Seaton told The Associated Press. "He's been the sports editor here for 20 years and he gets stuff right."
Asked if he was positive the woman was not connected with the Iowa athletic department, Patton told The Register, "I'm not positive. I'm just going by what she told me."
St. Joseph's basketball takes first-place ranking in AP poll
Tiny Saint Joseph's and its ever-flapping Hawk have soared to the top of the basketball world.
The Philadelphia school with an enrollment of 3,400 and not much recent sports history to brag about was No.1 in the AP men's college basketball poll Monday for the first time.
The Hawks (27-0) are the only unbeaten team in Division I, now that previously top-ranked Stanford was upset by Washington.
upset by Wesley Ingram
Saint Joseph's needs three victories in the Atlantic 10 tournament to become the first team since UNLV in 1991 to enter the NCAA tournament without a loss.
A national basketball power in the 1960s, the Hawks were ranked in the Top 10 consistently. They made their only Final Four appearance in 1961, then reached No.2 in the rankings twice in December 1965.
"It's a significant feat for the longtime followers of this program," Saint Joseph's coach Phil Martelli said. "Schools like ours have been overlooked for years by things like the BCS."
The coach doesn't think he has to worry about his team looking past the conference tournament.

Football player involved in fight
By Neeley J. Spellmeier
nspellmeier@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A fight involving two men — one a starting fullback on the Kansas football team — broke out just after 11 p.m. Saturday in the 100 block of 11th Street.
Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department said Alvin Harris, a 39-year-old Harveyville resident, said he was walking with another man and his daughter when 21-year-old Austine Nwabuisi yelled derogatory comments about his daughter.
A verbal confrontation followed, and Harris said Nawabiu
punched him in the face, Patrickr said. Nwabuisi said Harris hit him in the face with a beer bottle, Patrick said. Both Harris and Nwabuisi reported the other party started the argument, Patrick said.
The man accompanying Harris then called the police, who arrived shortly after, Pattrick said. Harris was taken to the hospital with facial injuries, Pattrick said.
The incident is still under investigation, Pattrick said. When the police department completes the report, it will be sent to the district attorney's office, Pattrick said.
incident, Nwabuisi said interviews had to be approved by coach Mark Mangino. Harris did not return phone calls.
This is the second incident involving a football player in the past week. Tailback John Randle was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and interfering with the duties of a police officer early Friday morning.
Mangino released a statement yesterday saying, "I am in the process of gathering information on recent incidents involving our players. When I have all the facts, I'll take appropriate action."

Simien picked for All-Big 12
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas junior Wayne Simien and Texas Tech's Andre Emmett are unanimous choices to The Associated Press All-Big 12 team for 2003-2004.
Joining them on the first team are Tony Allen and point guard John Lucas, the key members of Oklahoma State's first conference championship since 1965, and Brandon Mouton, the top scorer on one of the best senior classes in Texas history.
The team was picked by a panel of media representatives who regularly cover the Big 12.
Kansas junior Keith Langford was selected for the second team, along with Colorado 7-footer David Harrison and Missouri seniors Rickey Paulding and Arthur Johnson, along with Colorado senior Michel Morandais.
Emmett, a 6-foot-5 native of Dallas, broke the Big 12 career scoring record of former Kansas star Nick Collison this year.
The 6-9 Simien delighted Kansas fans last week when he announced that he would stay in school for his senior year. If he remains healthy, he could be a leading contender for national honors.
Even though a groin injury forced him to sit out practice until the day before each game, Simien was second in the Big 12 in both scoring (17.6 points) and rebounding (nine).
"The greatest compliment you can pay a player is how he influences winning," said Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson.
"A lot of talented guys don't influence winning the game. Wayne Simien influences winning the game. When he was a
freshman, you could tell he was one of those special kids."
When asked to name the best player in the conference, excluding his own team, Kansas coach Bill Self did not hesitate.
"Tony Allen." he said.
The 6-4 Mouton is the highest-scoring member of one of the finest classes in Texas history. He and his three fellow senior starters have rung up 94 victories in four years.
He averaged a team-high 13.4 points this year and goes into his final postseason tenth on the Texas all-time scoring list. Going back to Feb. 4, 2003, he has posted double-digit points in 32 of 42 games.
Curtis Stinson, Iowa State's 21-year-old freshman, heads the third team, joined by Kansas' Aaron Miles, Iowa State's Jackson Vroman, the Big 12's top rebounder, Royal Ivey of Texas and Terrance Thomas of Baylor.

ST. LOUIS — It's sure to cause innumerable arguments about balls and strikes, but well before it's completed, the St. Louis Cardinals' new stadium is the site of a disagreement over the city's archaeological history.
Cardinals' stadium fosters debate
Other historians argue that the 1960s construction on the current Cardinals ballpark makes it a poor site for study, and the Cardinals say if workers find something significant, it will be preserved.
The Associated Press
Some contend the stadium is being built on top of centuries of St. Louis history, including the
former site of pens that once held slaves.
The St. Louis Cardinals have been working at the $387 million stadium site for about three
months. The new downtown stadium, with a capacity of 46,000, will occupy space overlapping and just south of the current stadium. It's an area not far from the city's original French settlement, but one most notoriously linked to the city's slave-trading past.
"Unfortunately, that area was known, somewhere between the old and new stadiums, for Lynch's
save pens," said Missouri Historical Society President Robert Archibald. He said slave trader Bernard M. Lynch held and sold black men, women and children.
John Loyd, the Cardinals owners' representative on the stadium project, said the Cardinals are working with St. Louis Historical Archaeology to preserve items they've found during construction.
BIG 12: The best and worst of conference tattoos, hair, dressing
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
second in the conference in assists with 4.8 per game. He was the focal point of a team that surprised everyone in capturing the Big 12 Conference Title. He averaged 18.3 points per game, and 4.2 assists during an 11 game conference winning streak in the middle of the season. The Cowboys followed Lucas' lead all year, and should deep into the NCAA Tournament as well.
All-Big 12 Second Team
Scott Drew, coach, Baylor — Eddie Sutton nearly took home this award, but it's hard to overlook the job Drew did in his first year in Waco. After last summer's tragic murder of center Patrick Dennehy, Baylor coach Dave Bliss resigned amid controversy, and the program's three best players — John Lucas, Lawrence Roberts and Kenny Taylor — all transferred. Drew was left with a team loaded with walk-ons and no possibility of making it to post-season play due to probation. No one gave the Bears any kind of a chance to win a single conference game, but Baylor wore three, and almost had upsets against Oklahoma State, Oklahoma homa and Kansas State. It's hard to find another coach, in any conference, that got more out of less.
Aaron Miles, junior guard, Kansas — Miles assumed the role of the vocal leader after Kansas lost Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich from last year's national runner-up team. In a season when he scored less than expected, he led the conference in assists per game (7.37) and was second in steals per game (1.93).
Keith Langford, junior guard, Kansas — As Miles picked up the leadership void for Kansas, Langford flat-out produced Langford's 16.1 points per game ranked sixth in the Big 12, and his ability to slash to the basket opened up the perimeter for gunners like J.R. Giddins and Mike Lee.
David Harrison, junior center, Colorado — Despite failing to make a presence in some of his team's bigger games, Harrison played a major role in Colorado<sup>b</sup>
hot finish to the season and fourth place finish in the conference. Harrison was fourth in rebounds per game (8,8) , first in blocks (2,8) and first in field goal percentage (62.5).
Arthur Johnson, senior center,
Missouri — Johnson was inconsistent at times, but his 37-point performance against Kansas on Sunday showed just how valuable he is to the Tigers. Johnson averaged 15.9 points per game, but became Missouri's all-time leader in blocked shots, averaging 1.74 per contest.
Royal Ivey, senior guard, Texas
Jeremiah Massey, junior forward, Kansas State; Andrew Drevo, senior forward, Nebraska; Curtis Stinson, freshman guard, Iowa State; Lamar Harris, senior forward, Colorado; James Thomas, senior center, Texas; Devonne Giles, junior forward, Texas Tech; Rickey Paulding, senior guard, Missouri; Terrance Thomas, senior forward, Baylor; Jason Detrick, senior guard, Oklahoma; Ivan McFarlin, senior forward, Oklahoma State; Jesse King, senior guard, Texas A&M.
Ivey's numbers will not blow your mind, but there may be no one more valuable in the conference as a defensive player. Ivey can lock down the nation's best offensive guards, and is reliable with the ball, leading the conference in assist-to-turnover ratio at 2.90.
All-Big 12 Honorable Mention
All=Big 12 "Best Of"
Freshman of the Year — Curtis Stinson, freshman guard, Iowa State — This little guy from the Bronx talks a big game, but he backed it up in his first season at the Division I level. Stinson was a three-time Big 12 Rookie of the Week, averaging 15.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. Even more important for his team, he played his best when it counted the most. That included averaging 22.5 points in two games against Kansas, 20.0 points in two games against Missouri, 19 points against Oklahoma State and 18 points to go with 10 assists in an
upset victory over Texas
Sixth Man of the Year — Brian Boddicker, senior forward, Texas — For fouryears, Boddicker has been a fixture off the bench for the Longhorns, and he proved his worth once again this season. Besides providing touch defensive matchups as a 6-foot-10-inch small forward who plays the perimeter, Boddicker was second in the conference with a 44.6 three-point field goal percentage. Boddicker's 8.4 points and 4.9 rebounds per game were crucial to Texas' depth and success.
Newcomer of the Year — Jeremiah Massey, junior forward, Kansas State — It's hard to make a lot of noise in the basketball black hole that is Manhattan, but this junior college transfer from Detroit found a way to do so. Massey saw both highs and lows in the nonconference season, and had a rough start to the Big 12 schedule. But once the conference season was in full tilt, Massey found his groove, scoring at least 20 points in seven of the Wildcats' final 12 games. He finished the year averaging 15.1 points and 8.0 rebounds per game, and was named Big 12 Rookie of the Week twice. He also recorded eight double-doubles.

Landmark case celebrated
Four-day conference marks 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board

The 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka paved the way for equal rights in the United States. Now, 50 years later, students, teachers, national speakers and the public will have the opportunity to celebrate the decision at a four-day conference at the University of Kansas beginning Sunday.
Called The Legacies and Unfinished Business of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, the conference's importance extends past the court's decision, said
Deborah Dandridge, chairwoman for the conference and member of the 50th anniversary national commission.
"The significance goes way beyond the legal ruling itself." Dandridge said. "The historical context deals with essential issues in understanding the real value and importance of our nation."
Suzanne Knorr, University of Kansas Continuing Education program manager for the conference, called the it a "mega conference" because of its combination of free events for students, events open to the public and the quantity and quality of speakers.
Washington, D.C. Sims-Wood's presentation, called Primary and Secondary School Resources for Teaching Brown v. Board, will primarily benefit teachers and students interested in education, Sims-Wood said.

Faith essential to avoid Lent traps Heard on the hill
By Patrick Cady
pcady@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
It's the time of year when modern conveniences can become temptations.
conveniences can be used. Since the beginning of the Christian season of Lent, Lesley Hunt, Derby freshman, has given up instant messaging. The ring of arriving messages no longer echoes as she computes, and the iconic yellow man has become just a tempting nuisance, she said.
"It's been hard giving up instant messaging — it was a such a habit," Hunt said.
But, it's of a higher importance.
Hunt and some other Christians on campus now are in the middle of a time self-control. The season of Lent is a period of 40 days that leads up to Easter Sunday. During this time, Christian beliefs call some to give up a cherished part of their lives, to realize Christ's sacrifice and to grow, said the Rev. Shawn Norris, a Lutheran Campus Minister.
But, it's for a higher power.
Sometimes the growth takes a literal form.
It's a time when they take a step away from themselves and realize that this world is a darker place, he said. It's also a time to realize their closegess to God and the promise of his constant paradise. Huber said.
"It became really uncomfortable, my mustache grew over my lip," he said. Huber said that he and his friends at the St. Lawrence Center take Lent very seriously.
This year, he's giving up coffee something he said was key to his normal morning prayer time.
morning prayer. These sacrifices are a tribute to Christ's time in the wilderness, Norris said. In the New Testament, Jesus spent 40 days in a desert, living the life of an ascetic and forsaking all temptation.
Many Christian faiths, such as Catholics, Methodists and Lutherans routinely forsake some sort of temptation during Lent.

The KU Public Safety Office issued a crime alert yesterday in response to an aggravated arson that occurred at approximately 10:30 Monday night at Watson Library.
Watson Library evacuated after fire set on second floor
An unknown party started a fire on the second floor in the center stacks. The fire destroyed four books on economics.
Tyler Balsman, Union Town, Mo. sophomore, snapped a shot of his group architecture project yesterday near the Art and Design Building. Balsman and his group created an optical design that taught the students how the human eye perceives things. "I think it turned out awesome. Ever since we finished it a lot of people have stopped and checked it out and they seem to think it is pretty cool," Balsman said.
The staff discovered the fire after smoke set off the fire alarm, said Bill Myers, director of library development.
The library staff then worked to evacuate the library and called 911.
Soon after the fire was started, employees of Facilities Operations and the Public Safety Office arrived and extinguished the fire, Myers said. He said he thought the Lawrence Fire Department arrived after that, but the fire had already been put out.
The fire seemed to have been started when someone placed an ignited item between two books, Myers said.
Major Chris Keary of the Public Safety Office said the office would not release what was used to start the fire because it was still under investigation. There are no suspects at this time, but he said the Public Safety Office was not done with its investigation.

WICHITA — College recruiters from Washburn University are again welcome in the city's public schools.
College recruiter ban lifted in Wichita's public schools
Last month, upset by the depiction of a Catholic clergyman in a sculpture displayed at the Topeka university, the Wichita school board voted 4-3 to ban recruiters from Washburn.
The city's Catholic high schools had already banned Washburn recruiters.
Board president Michael Kinard asked the school board Monday night to reconsider the ban and apologized for the way it was adopted during a Feb. 23 meeting.
the question was not listed on the meeting's agenda.
Kinard then provided the swing vote in a 4-3 decision to overturn the ban he had supported two weeks ago.
"Art is an expression of the artist, and by design, it is to evoke emotion and make you think," Kinard said.
The sculpture, entitled "Holier Than Thou," depicts the bust of a scowling.
Some observers believe the miter looks like a penis and feel the statue insults Catholics.
heavyset clergyman wearing a ceremonial hat called a miter.
The work, by Longmont, Colo., artist Jerry Boyle, has been displayed on the campus since September as part of a collection of outdoor sculptures.
It is scheduled to be removed in July.

Fraternity members unite through dance and song
By Azita Tafreshi
aftreshi@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The members of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity may no longer share a house, but they have found a new way to stick together.
Participating in the 2004 Rock Chalk Revue, an annual variety show and fundraiser to benefit the United Way, has enabled members of the fraternity to keep in close contact since vacating their house at 1510 Sigma Nu Place in spring 2003. Seventy-two of the fraternity's 85 members now live at The Legends apartment complex, 4101 W. 24th Place, said Joel Worthington, Lambda Chi Alpha Rock Chalk codirector.
The Overland Park senior said the arrangement has made it difficult for the fraternity members to interact as often as they did when they had a house, but Lambda Chi Alpha's involvement in Rock Chalk has brought the cast members closer together.
"It's been the number one way
for the guys that are involved to feel like they're part of a bigger group of people," Worthington said.
The 25-member cast has been working with their counterparts from Alpha Chi Omega sorority since last semester to bring their show "Winged Pintos Take Flight" to life this week.
Cast members have been practicing daily for at least an hour to put together their role reversal between a floundering football team and its cheerleaders, said Andy Kroeker, Overland Park junior and Lambda Chi Alpha Rock Chalk codirector.
"Every single day since we got back from break we've been seeing each other, and it makes a huge difference," Kroeker said. "I don't live in the apartments, so the only time I really see guys in the house is when we go to bars and through Rock Chalk."
Chapter officers have made it a point to organize more "brotherhood" events like cookouts and basketball games this year in an
"It just has forced us in a lot of different ways to be creative in how we act as a fraternity," Worthington said.
effort to integrate the members, Worthington said.
Rock Chalk has been a rallying point for the entire fraternity. Kroeker said.
The whole chapter is involved in some capacity, ranging from contributions to the community service aspect of Rock Chalk to simply coming to watch the show, he said.
"Even if they weren't involved in the actual work of putting the show together, they know what we're doing is reflecting them too," Worthington said.
Members of Lambda Chi Alpha have taken pride in the fact that the fraternity won best overall show in Rock Chalk last year, said Matt Pauly, Lambda Chi Alpha Rock Chalk codirector.

Hip-hop square off gives area DJs opportunity to compete
By Dave Nobles
nobles@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Ian Sotomayor likens it to a track meet.
He said individuals could only condition themselves so much for the different competitions and then it was their talent that would take over.
The event is the Wax Clash, a DJ battle sponsored by KJHK. The hip-hop versions of sprinters, pole vaulters and like will square off at 10 tonight at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St.
The bi-annual competition pits performers against each other in virtually every aspect of the hip-hop culture. There will be competitions for scratching
mixing and emceeing. A panel of seven judges will decide the winners.
Sotomayor mixes under the moniker DJ Proof and will be participating in the show.
The show's fifth installment will feature breakdancers and artists who will interpret the music through their work will also be featured.
Sotomayor said that competitions required less last-minute preparation and more familiarity with material, which is why he compares a DJ battle to a track meet.
meet.
"I try to stay sharp all the time," Sotomayer said. "Not just for special occasions."
The show will feature 13 DJs from around Lawrence as well as
from other cities and states.
Among the performers will be two DJs from Arizona, one from Omaha and a 14-year-old - DJ Enercity - from Topeka.
Meredith Vacek, Lawrence senior and head coordinator for the show, said that inviting more performers to the Wax Clash would inspire each competitor.
"We try to draw people from other scenes," Vacek said. "A lot of cities around here don't have a lot of opportunities for DJs."
The scratching winner from last year's competition was Aaron Silver, Lawrence resident. Silver, who performs under the alias Aether, will be competing again tonight.
"I like to spur the competition," Silver said. "In my head, I'm expecting to win."
The 24-year-old has been Djing for more than six years and said he was trying new techniques to showcase at the event.
"I'm trying to challenge myself more than I'm trying to compete," Silver said.
Scratching is the "wikka-wikka" sound that has become an important part of hip-hop music.
Silver said that there was a subculture of DJs in Lawrence who created basement tracks and that the competition would help give some exposure to the scene.
"It's going to show the music culture that Lawrence has it going on." Silver said. "We've got it locked down and we rip it."
Justin Riley, Fayetteville, Ark..
junior, walked away from the last Wax Clash as the winner for mixing. Riley mixes under the alias DJ Omnes.
Mixing involves blending songs together to create different rhythms.
Riley, who also is a DJ on KJHK, said that when he started, his sound was more electronic, but that he had since expanded his style into hip-hop as well.
"At first, people didn't take me seriously because I wasn't playing hip-hop," Riley said. "It made me really pissed."
Riley said he entered the last Wax Clash under the alter ego DJ Special Pants.
He said although it was meant as a satire of the traditional dress of hip-hop DJs, the pseudonym might have influenced his victory.
Riley said that he felt a great amount of pressure to improve in tonight's show, but that incorporating new songs as well as scratching gave him confidence in this competition.
"I always look forward to good competition." Riley said. "I went all out last time, it's going to be hard to top what I did."
The show is $3 and is open to
anone over the age of 18.
CJ Wilford. St. Louis non-traditional student, and Kelly Bumpas, Wichita junior, will host the event. Both Wilford and Bumpas host shows on JKH.

EDITORIAL BOARD
In-state student, in-state tuition, immigrant or not
Illegal immigrants are such a hot political commodity these days that they have their own new, politically correct title; undocumented workers.
On the national level, President Bush's election-year proposal would increase the number of green cards and generally provide amnesty for many illegal immigrants. A smaller-scale proposal that benefits illegal immigrants and their families was publicly supported by Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius last week.
The proposal would allow illegal immigrants who have lived in Kansas for three or more years to pay instate tuition at universities. The students would be required to prove they are seeking citizenship or legal resident status to be eligible.
The Legislature should approve the proposal and give the growing minority of immigrants in Kansas a greater opportunity to participate in higher education.
Our country has a rich history of immigrants coming to our country in search of a better life. The Statue of Liberty welcomes the "huddled masses yearning to breathe free." In this modern era, as college degrees become more important, education has helped many to find this freedom, to lead successful lives; in short, to live the American dream.
If students living in the state of Kansas have the qualifications to attend a public institute of higher learning, the state should do everything it can to enable them to pursue a degree, regardless of the legal status of their parents.
Factory-heavy towns in Western Kansas have had an influx of immigrants, both legal and "undocumented," in recent years. Most of these immigrants are working long hours at low-paying jobs, and many of their children come to the United States ill-prepared for school, with little educational experience and some speaking little English.
When these students are able to graduate from high school and gain admission to college, they have
already fought and won a difficult battle. They should not be treated any differently than their classmates at Kansas high schools.
The difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition at the University of Kansas is more than $3,000 for a full-time student. For illegal immigrants who might come to the University, that $3,000 could be
that $3,000 could be the difference between attending college and being satisfied with a high school diploma.

PERSPECTIVE
Local hip-hop scene needs local hip-hop fans
COMMENTARY
It's gone mainstream, but not in Lawrence.
---
Hip-hop is one of the most purchased genres of music, but it can't pack the venues. John Maestas, music supervisor, said Hastings Books Music & Video, 1900 W. 23rd St., sold over 400 hip/hop CD's per week. With all the interest, where are the fans to support the Lawrence artists?
Cameron Koelling opinion@hansan.com
Hip hop infiltrated my life circa 1998. It's sad that the man who made me fall in love with hip-hop died in 1996. I had a tape that played on repeat in my '73 Super Beetle with I ain't mad at cha from Tupac Shakur's All Eyez On Me album. It comforted me on the way to high school tennis tournaments and when my heart was broken.
Hip-hop is more accepted now because of its mainstream appeal, but when you hear hip-hop it should not only create visions of sex, drugs and getting girls. There is a lot of local hip-hop talent in Lawrence, but the lack of support for the hip-hop community is disturbing. In a community where music enthusiasts abound, it is sad that the loyalty seems to be only to a few types of music.
Edwin Morales, talent buyer for Downplay Productions, puts together Project Groove at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., every Friday night. Project Groove is one of the best hip-hop outlets in Lawrence. It recently moved from its location at The Pool Room, 925 Iowa St. Aaron Silber, manager of The Pool Room, said last year 80 to 100 people showed up. Now they are
averaging 160 to 180 people, Morales said. Despite the growth in attendance, Morales said support for hip-hop was decreasing but the amount of talent was on the up-swing.
Miles Bonny from lawrencehiphop.com said he felt that the hip-hop community was in a weird place right now, but it was not dying.
now, but it waned and events are doing OK, but honestly, they do not make up for the amount of work and quality national artists people like those who run Downplay are bringing." Bonny said.
Big name artists who come to Lawrence do not get the attendance they deserve.
"Local artists do better here because the main groups of people that come out to watch are friends of the artist. We brought in some big names such as Killa Priest from the Wu Tang Clan and our local artists do better. People are not really supporting hip hop as much as they are supporting friends," Silber said.
Students need to educate themselves
about hip-hop because it has become a part of our everyday lives from advertising to pop-culture.
ing to pop culture.
"Hip-Hop is not what they see on TV. It is not people walking in circles rapping about being hard and getting shot. Nor is it about having sex all the time and getting drunk. Although that is a part of the expression by some of its artists, hip hop is a culture and a belief system," Bonny said
DJ Kool Herc on his Hip-Hop 101 Web site said the definition of hip-hop would be "an art form that includes deejaying (cuttin' & scratchin') emceeing/rappin,' break dancing and graffiti art. These art forms as we know them today originated in the South Bronx section of New York City around the mid 1970s."
That is far from the gangster image that most people assume of hip-hop. Project Groove has DJ's and even Latin inspired hip-hop to get people dancing.
Some artists such as Scott Al-Tall, also known as Mr. Bilistic, think that the lack of support might be due to the lack
of venues that support the genre. Those that control venues do not realize that hip-hop does not create violence, it is a voice for people.
"Hip-hop has a bad stereotype because of the people that control the media. Hip-hop is breaking down the barriers and providing a voice for the minorities in Lawrence," Morales said.
Students who consider themselves music enthusiasts need to make it out to Project Groove on Friday nights at the Bottleneck or to the Jazzhaus on Sunday nights for hip-hop night. Don't let Lawrence become deprived of hip-hop because of the ignorance surrounding the music. And in the words of the man himself, 'don't be phony cause I hate when you act like you don't know me.' If you like the music enough to buy it, then go out and support it. This support will keep Lawrence as one of the music hubs, if only for Kansas.

SUV drivers: Have no shame, drive your car
SUV owners and their cars at the University of Kansas deserve a break.
The condemnation of sport utility vehicles by the environmentalists and, gasp, the media have become so persistent that it is perceived as true. Opponents of their use say that compared to other cars they pollute more, are not as safe and are mostly a threat to civilization as we know it.
100%
The drivers are shouldering some of the blame for having these "gas-guzzlers" on the road, and there is good reason for that at times. But according to Princeton professor Peter Singer, all SUV drivers are imminent threats to society and are comparable to the Sept. 11 terrorists for causing just as much destruction. Try to let that sink in for a moment, folks.
moment, talks.
But enemy No. 1 is the SUV itself, which is now characterized in the news as if it is acting on its own and has a mind of its own when involved in accidents. The cars are being reported as human—and criminal—with regularity. Some of the stories place too much emphasis on
COMMENTARY
Alex Hoffman opinion@hansan.com
the evh made a last week, a headline from The Associated Press read, "Man killed when SUV hits him, drags him 8.5 miles to driver's home." So the driver didn't hit him or drag him; the driver was completely powerless to the SUV. Would this headline be different if a Ford Taurus was involved and not an SUV?
Another perplexing headline from the Jan. 24 Newsday read, "SUV Probed in Triple Hit-Run." So the car was taken in for questioning in this case? The real news in this one was that no evidence
the SUV angle and seek to perpetuate the evil-machine reputation.
was found to incriminate the SUV.
One of the most egregious examples came from WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids, Mich., in which a lead story on its Web site from Feb. 13 read, "Police search for SUV possibly connected with rape case." An accomplice to rape? Enough said here.
The coverage is becoming tiresome. No other car on the road suffers from more negativism, and the fact that they continue to sell in large quantities ranks the anti-SUV bunch. These people would rather make SUV owners feel ashamed, and to sink so low as to say these owners contribute to terrorism lessens the credibility of their stance.
The fear of doomsday nearing with each new SUV on the road is far-fetched. The heightened focus on rollover deaths in relation to SUVs, which accounts for only three percent of all accidents, overshadows their success in overall safety ratings. A new rollover test by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says SUVs fare just as well or better than compact station wagons or trucks.
Other successes have been documented as far back as 2001, when a National Academy of Sciences report compared SUV safety with safety of "politically correct mini-cars." It said that SVVs weighing more than 5,000 pounds accounted for 92 deaths per million registered vehicles, whereas the smaller cars accounted for 249 deaths per million registered vehicles.
The typical apartment complex parking lot reflects the popularity. There are Mazda Tributes, some Honda CRVs, a slew of Jeep Cherokees (the classic 1980s models as well as recent ones) and Chevy Blazers. They are becoming more visible in fraternity and sorority lots. Even the continued coverage which portrays the cars as menaces is not enough to prevent students from driving them.
Time to circle the wagons — or Expeditions. Don't succumb to the pressure of the people who inexplicably want SUVs banned from the highways. Ride high and ride with pride.

Professor designs museum model
ByRugal Gor
rgor@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
One man's passion for sports cars and racing jump-started a project that could steer into Le Mans, France.
The 24 Hours of Le Mans is a 24-hour sports-car race held in France each June. Dennis Sander, associate professor of architecture and urban design, has been interested in the race since his undergraduate days when he started a sports-club at the University of Pennsylvania.
---
So it was no surprise when Sander dedicated a class to Le Mans.
Kit Leffler/Kansar
Last fall, Sander conducted a class in which 16 architecture students worked to make models of a museum that would house about 200 cars, an IMAX theater, a library and archives surrounding the Le Mans event.
Jane and John
"There's nothing like this anywhere in the world," Sander said.
The museum was Sander's idea of a monument to the race.
Alison C.
The idea for the Le Mans museum came to Sander two years ago.
He planned on finishing research for the project by Fall 2004, but completed his work in time to teach the class last fall.
Dennis Sander, associate professor of architecture, constructed a model racecar museum last semester with the help of his students. Sander hopes the museum will eventually be built in France.The project is on display in Marvin Hall.
"I really bit the bullet and worked fast," he said.
While students in Sander's class designed and created individual mini-models of the museum for a grade, Sander worked on his own model.
He designed a larger museum model and had students help with its construction.
Sander's model, which weighs more than 1,000 pounds, represents an actual building size of 400,000 square feet.
Sander has prepared drawings, slides and an explanation of the museum project for the presentation.
The model will be presented to the Le Mans race organizers in France, with the possibility of it becoming a reality, Sander said.
Health precautions will keep Sanders from presenting the proposal himself. Instead, Wojciech Lesnikowski, distinguished professor of architecture and urban design, will present the design in Sander's place in France in July.
Sander said he was optimistic about his model's chances of becoming a reality.
Working on a project that could possibly turn into a real museum in France was one of Maggie Richter's favorite parts of the project.
The St. Louis junior, a student in Sander's class, said she had never worked on such a large-scale building project before.
Richter said it took strenuous work and a lot of late nights to bring the creation together.
Jeff Verkamp, St. James, Mo., junior, agreed that work on the project was intensive.
Designing a model on a large scale brought added pressure, he said.
Sander said that intensity was one of the project's goals.
The rigorous work the students put into the project was to help them feel comfortable with
large projects before they graduated and started their careers, he said.

Sensors in nose give reason to shop
The next time you get the urge to reach for your purse or wallet in a store, an airborne trigger may be the cause.
Malkin said that several companies were reluctant to use the product because of potential ethical conflicts.
Enhanced Air Technologies, a Vancouver-based company, markets only one product: Commercaire, a pheromone compound that can be pumped into the ventilation system of any store, bar or casino to make consumers feel more relaxed and, according to the company's Web site, more willing to spend cash.
Nigel Malkin, Enhanced Air Technologies director of development, said the compound had other benefits for retail businesses.
Pheromones are chemicals given off by most animals, including humans, to make potential mates more comfortable in their presence. Pheromones are subconsciously detected by sensors in the nose. For this reason, use of Commercialaire might be considered the same as attracting customers with a pleasant aroma,
"At a subconscious level, the sense of comfort and security instilled by the compound causes consumers to have positive memories of any environment in which they are exposed to it," said Malkin, who also uses Commicaire at home to relax. "They're more likely to return as a result."
said Jeff Morris, adjunct professor of Marketing Ethics at the Edwards campus.
Morris said cosmetic counters commonly used odors to affect the consumer's mood and movie theaters used the smell of fresh popcorn.
"From an ethical standpoint, most of us accept these marketing techniques," he said.
"The thought of using basic human chemistry sends a chill that reaches to our very DNA," he said.
Morris, co-founder of Internet marketing firm MorrisCode, said Commerciale was taking it a step further, tapping into shopper's subconscious.
Brianna Auza, Topeka sophomore, said she felt that chill when she first heard of Commerceaire technology.
"I've heard about it, but I thought it was on a MTV Urban Legends show," she said.
Auza, who considers herself a shopping veteran, said stores didn't need to dictate her shopping habits.
"I think I can decide for myself how much time and money I need to spend at one place," she said.
Wal-Mart, Sears and Home Depot are among companies that have publicly denied using Commerceire in their stores. Malkin said at least three U.S. companies use the product. The Enhanced Air Technologies Web site said companies that use Commerceire can expect revenue boosts of nine to 20 percent.
Bush fights prescription pill abuse

Plan to target 'doctor shoppers' and pills purchased by Internet
By Matt Rodriguez
mdrroguez@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
President Bush is using an anti-drug strategy plan to target prescription-drug abusers for the first time.
Prescription-drug rank second, behind marijuana, in abused drugs among adults and youth, according to a report by the White House's Office of National Drug Control Policy.
The most dramatic increase in new users of prescription drug abuse occurred in the 12 to 17 and 18 to 25 year-old age groups, according to the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse.
The President's plan will try to put an end to "pill mills" that sell drugs such as Oxycontin and Percocet illegally over the Internet.
According to a White House official statement, criminals who divert legal drugs into the illegal market are no different from a cocaine or heroin dealer peddling poisons on the street corner.
Web crawler programs will be used to identify, investigate and
"Doctors walk a difficult line because there is no definitive answer for pain. It's more subjective in the mind of the patient and this is what can lead a patient to going from doctor to doctor."
Barbara Woods
Clinical assistant professor for the School of Pharmacy
prosecute any illegal online pharmacy.
Carry Copeland, Wichita sophomore, surfs the Internet on a daily basis.
He has seen the advertisements saying "click here for pills" but said he'd never thought of buying them.
"Buying drugs over the Internet sounds real shady." Copeland said. "I would think it would end
up being a scam."
The plan will target patients who look for several prescriptions from separate doctors.
These people are known as "doctor shopper."
The plan also calls for $10 million to create state-wide Prescription Monitoring System programs that will help states detect the "doctor shoppers."
The systems will help detect individuals who are redeeming the same prescriptions from different doctors.
Twenty-two states currently have these monitoring programs.
Prescription drug abuse has occurred here on campus in the form of doctor shoppers, said Cathy Thrasher, pharmacist at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
"It's present here because our campus is a microcosm of our society as a whole." Thrasher said.
Chris Keary, assistant chief at the KU Public Safety Office, said the office had not seen many problems involving prescription-drug abusers.
other doctors not because of their addictions, but because some doctors can under-treat a patient in pain, said Barbara Woods, clinical assistant professor for the School of Pharmacy at the University of Kansas.
Some patients are going to
"Doctors walk a difficult line because there is no definitive answer for pain." Woods said. "It's more subjective in the mind of the patient and this what can lead a patient to going from doctor to doctor."
The number of emergency room visits resulting from narcotic pain relievers has increased 163 percent nationally since 1995, according to the White House's Office of National Drug Control Policy.
The 1999 Drug Abuse Warning Network reported emergency room visits relating to the depressant klonopin increased by 102 percent since 1992.
Hydrocodone related visits increased by 37 percent from 1997 to 1999 among all age groups.

Sniper who killed 10 gets death sentence
MANASSAS, Va. — Sniper mastermind John Allen Muhammad was sentenced to death yesterday by a judge who called the Washington-area shootings that left 10 people dead "so vile that they were almost beyond comprehension."
Muhammad denied any involvement in the October 2002 rampage, echoing a claim of innocence he made in his opening statement to the jury when he briefly served as his own attorney.
"Just like I said at the beginning, I had nothing to do with this, and I'll say again, I had nothing to do with this." Muhammad said yesterday.
He told the judge he plans to appeal, and urged, "Don't make a fool of the Constitution of the United States of America."
A jury recommended a death sentence for Muhammad last year, but Circuit Court Judge LeRoy F. Millette Jr. had the option to reduce it to life in prison without parole. Millette said the evidence of Muhammad's guilt was "overwhelming."
Muhammad appeared in an orange jail jumpsuit with a slightly graying, unkempt beard, in sharp contrast to his cleanshaven, well-dressed appearance at trial. His teenage accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, is to be sentenced today to life in prison.
About 50 family members of sniper victims were in the courtroom. One silently shook his fist as Millette announced the sentence.
"justice has been served today," said Sonia Wills, mother of sniper victim Conrad Johnson, who would have been 37 this Sunday. "I can go to my son's grave and wish him a happy birthday."
The sister of Hong Im Ballenger, allegedly killed by Muhammad and Malvo in Baton Rouge, La., in the weeks before the D.C. attacks, said Muhammad deserved to die.
"He killed so many innocent people," said a tearful Kwang Im Szuszka. "My nephew is 12 years old and he needs his mommy. ... It breaks my heart."
Millette ordered that Muhammad be executed on Oct. 14, but that date likely will be postponed to allow appeals.

Private funding allows more stem cell research at Harvard
By Bill Cross
bcross@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A Harvard University research group has found a way around the Bush administration's policy on stem cell research.
The research group used private donations to create new stem cell lines. The sole use of such donations instead of federal funds is unusual.
Douglas Melton, Harvard biologist, created 17 new stem cell lines last week.
Current policy forbids the creation of new stem cell lines using federal money, which virtually all research labs use. These labs are
allowed to use stem cell lines created before August 9, 2001. Jonathan Li, director of etiology and prevention of hormonal cancers at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said only 16 federally allowed stem cell lines were viable for research.
Each new line Melton created had characteristics that distinguished it from other stem cells. For example, a pancreatic stem cell line can only be used to replace pancreas cells. Each cell in a line comes from the same embryo and has the same DNA.
Private grants from Harvard, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation funded
Cowan, a Wichita native, said that the stem cells created at Harvard were, in many ways, superior to the other stem cell lines available. For example, he said that their potential uses were clearly defined.
Melton's research, said Chad Cowan, postdoctoral fellow in Melton's lab.
defined.
"The lines previously available are not well characterized or easily grown, and most importantly, they are difficult to obtain," Cowan said. He said research groups sometimes paid more than $5,000 for access to a stem cell line.
Cowan said that the new lines would be available to other researchers for free as long as they
Cowan said that he did not anticipate any backlash from the government.
did not illegally use federal funds to work on them.
"The administration has already laid out very clear guidelines as to how they view and support embryonic stem cell research. We carefully adhered to these rules." he said.
Li, who studies the effects of stem cells on breast cancer development, said there was not enough variety in the available stem cell lines, which put a glass ceiling on research.
"These embryonic stem cells are more useful than the adult stem cells I work with," Li said.
Ron McKay, researcher for the National Institute of Health, told The New York Times that the current stem cells were sufficient for his research, but he anticipated that he would eventually need to use the new lines.
"It will become obvious that there are cell lines out there that have therapeutic value, and it will be morally impossible to support the case that you shouldn't be using them," McKay said Thursday in the article "Bush Policy on Human Stem Cells Faces New Challenges."
Despite McKay's prediction, some KU students are adamantly opposed to the direction stem cell research has taken. Danielle
Schneider, Topeka sophomore, said embryonic stem cell research was immoral.
"It justifies abortion for some people," she said.
Katherine Lawler, Overland Park junior, said that she had the opposite viewpoint.
"There's enough babies, we should worry about fixing the babies that are already made," she said.
James Battey, chairman of the National Institutes of Health panel on stem cells, said the agency would consider allowing new stem cell lines if and when they proved viable and vital to research.

Iraqi constitution spawns opposition
The Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraq's interim constitution faces powerful critics: two influential ayatolahs, the leader of a Shiite party and other Iraqis who dismiss it as the work of the United States and its Iraqi allies.
The criticism places Iraq at a crossroads — whether to allow seditarian politics to prevail and put the nation's unity at risk, or close ranks and continue toward democratic rule.
Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani, the most influential cleric for Iraq's Shiite Muslim majority, initiated the latest political wrangling. His objections to the intercharm caused his supporters on the 25-seat Governing Council to refuse to sign it as scheduled March 5.
Citing a pressing need to safeguard national unity and push forward the political process, they signed Monday, but made clear they wish to change parts of the document.
Many Iraqis appear divided on the constitution, which for the first time guarantees freedom and human rights. Some have celebrated its adoption, some rejected it and some said they didn't know its contents.
In a fatwa, or religious edict, issued Monday, al-Sistani said
the interim charter would only gain legitimacy if adopted by an elected body. He described the document as "obstacle" to Iraq's permanent constitution, which will be drafted by a parliament elected by Jan. 31, 2005, and put to a referendum later in the year.
In an unusually blunt statement Ayatollah al-Moadaresi, who lives in the holy city of Karbala, said clauses pertaining to federalism in the charter were "a time bomb that will lead to a civil war in Iraq." Referring to the 14-year-old self-rule enjoyed by Kurds in three northern provinces, he said: "This federalism will end up breaking up Iraq and lead to a civil war."
Al-Hakim, a Governing Council member and leader of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, said Iraqi society was cohesive enough to prevent civil war, but added: "Our main problem lies with the imposition of restrictions set by an unelected body on an elected body."
Like fellow Shiite politicians, al-Hakim tried to allay fears that Shiites wanted to use their newfound powers to dominate Iraq after decades of oppression at the hands of the Sunni Arab minority. He and other Shiites on the council, he said, would try to reach a consensus on amending the clauses in question.

EDUCATION: Students will have to find alternatives
University. Transferring there is not an option for her. She already struggles with the daily hour and 15 minute drive she makes from Louisburg.
"I started to get my hopes up because I was no longer an undecided undergrad," Mills said. "Now it's like we're back at square one."
To Mills, the news might mean she'll have to start over academically.
For some of these students, leaving the University would
mean making sacrifices.
As a student athlete, Sonda Rauterkus would have to quit her sport if she left to pursue a physical education degree. If she stays, she must pick a major that she is not interested in.
"They should have have told us this earlier." Rauterkus, junior from Harlan, Iowa, said. "I am supposed to enroll soon and I have no idea what to do."
Rauterkus found out about the announcement through rumors that were circulating in her classes.
Mills also heard these rumors
before the announcement was made. She said she lost her confidence in the University because of the way it made its decision.
"It's made me feel like I can't trust the people who are representing the University of Kansas for the School of Education to back us up."
The University will not lose any of the program's teachers because of the decision, Lumpkin said. The University did not eliminate its masters and doctoral programs in physical education.
The school's advisers are work
ing with the affected students to help them decide where to go from here.
Lumpkin said that many of these students were expected to move to other teaching or education programs in the school.
The Health and Physical education program is the smallest of the six programs in health, sport and sciences department.
Over the past decade, enrollment for the physical education program has declined 80 percent, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning.

"This information will enable people to take action to improve on human relations in the local community," Dandridge said.

New beer honors Lawrence founder
By Dave Nobles
nobles@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
With a big birthday on the horizon, one local brewery has already started to celebrate.
Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St., has created a new beer to memorialize Lawrence's 150th anniversary.
The beer, Governor Robinson's Lager, gets its name from Charles Robinson, Kansas' first governor and one of the founders of the city.
Robinson also was a founder of the University of Kansas and a strong opponent of the prohibition movement in the state.
Free State brewmaster Steve Bradt was approached by the sesquicentennial celebration committee last fall and asked to create the German
Helles-style lager to celebrate the event. Helles is German for pale and the beer relies on German Pilsner malt for its flavor.
"The history of Lawrence and the free state cause are pretty well intertwined," the Bradt said. "It's an honor to be involved."
The official sesquicentennial weekend is scheduled to kick off Sept. 17, with a parade scheduled for the next day.
The festivities for the anniversary include a celebration in South Park with games, music and food vendors, a street dance on Massachusetts Street the night of Sept. 18 as well as the burying of a time capsule to commemorate the anniversary.
Bradt said Free State was just doing its part to help celebrate.
Jerry Niebaum, vice president
"It's in the spirit of the events and activities," Niebaum said. "Certainly, beer has been an important part of the town's history for the past 150 years."
Governor Robinson's Lager was initially brewed in December, before a name was even chosen.
Bradt said he and owner Chuck Magerl debated about the name for about two months after the initial batch was made.
"We wanted to find some name that would be very appropriate to the occasion." Bradt said.
PART III
In the end, Robinson's opposition to prohibition clinched the name decision for the beer.
Free State has brewed another batch of the new lager, which is available now.
One batch of beer at the brewery usually lasts about two weeks, Bradt said.
Bradt said although he thought the new beer was well received, but that another objective of the beer was to educate its customers about who Governor Robinson was.
"He meant a lot to the city." Bradt said. "There's a little education involved because of his importance."
Laura Marshall, KU alumnus and Lawrence resident, said the beer appealed to her.
"It's got a mellow flavor," Marshall said. "I think it's a nice tribute to have and a good tasting beer."
Free State bartender Ian Sotomayor said the new lager filled a void between the brewery's
Steve Bradt, Free State Brewery brewmaster, checked the temperature of a sample of beer Friday. He was checking the status of fermentation by measuring the remaining yeast. Bradt said the process, from beer production to sale, takes two weeks. He has worked at Free State Brewery, starting as a bartender, since it opened in 1989.
Wheat State and Ad Astra beers.
Most customers try a new beer and move on to another, but Sotomayor said Governor Robinson's Lager was a repeat order.
"There was nothing in between before," Sotomayor said. "I've been very surprised to see people come back and ask for it again."
Bradt said he planned to brew the beer sporadically until the celebration, and that the lager would definitely be available during the sesquicentennial weekend.

Gay marriages halted in New Jersey
The Associated Press
Attorney General Peter C. Harvey also warned officials marriage licenses issued to same-sex couples are invalid.
ASBURY PARK, N.J. — The day after New Jersey's first gay marriage was performed, the state attorney general yesterday ordered city officials to stop issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples and performing gay marriages — or face criminal charges.
Letters were sent yesterday to the city clerk, mayor and deputy mayor, who married two gay men Monday.
Harvey told Deputy Mayor James Bruno he was wrong to do so.
"We urge you to carry out your official duties in a manner consistent with the well-established
court decisions and advice set forth in the accompanying letter to avoid the initiation of legal action by our office," Harvey wrote.
More marriages could mean potential criminal prosecution. A conviction could result in a fine up to $10,000 and possible jail time, a spokesman for the attorney general's office said.
Frederick C. Raffetto, an attorney for Asbury Park, said a decision would be announced today about whether the city intended to abide by the order.
Meanwhile, same-sex couples continued to file for licenses through yesterday afternoon; 10 of 18 applications had been completed, officials said.
Gay marriage has so far been rejected by state courts. Last Nov. 5, a judge ruled nothing in the state constitution guarantees same-sex unions as a right, and that the appropriate forum to change marriage laws is the Legislature. The ruling is being appealed by gay activists.
"The state is bound by the court, and the court has held that it is not legal," Gov. James E. McGreevey said. "Ultimately we're a nation of laws and we need to abide by the laws."
McGreevey urged gay couples to take advantage of New Jersey's recently passed domestic partnership measure.
"I'm very disappointed," said Kara Snow,43.
Snow arrived at 4 a.m. to make sure she was first in line when the city clerk's office opened. She said she hoped to wed Friday — though the state might intervene first.
"It may not happen this time, but I'm confident it will happen in
my lifetime," she said.
In neighboring New York, Cardinal Edward Egan and Roman Catholic bishops lobbied lawmakers over the issue. Two bills are currently before the Legislature in Albany, N.Y. — one that would make gay marriage legal, the other that would make it illegal.
Twenty-five same-sex couples were married in late February in the city of New Paltz, N.Y.
"My position would be that marriage would be an agreement to be faithful and to stay together in a union between a man and woman with openness to children and with a seeking of mutual support," Egan said after a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno. "I believe that this is perhaps the position of every civilization as long as we know."

Less foul trouble ahead
MOODY 34 KENNEDY 23 BRASHA 12 NG
By Ryan Greene
greene@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
Junior forward Wayne Simien passed to sophomore forward Christian Moody during the game against Nebraska last Wednesday. Kansas plays in the Big 12 Tournament on Friday.
In their case many of the fouls have come on questionable calls, which brings up the obvious question: Do Graves and Padgett think the Big 12 Conference referees are out to get them?
For Kansas forwards David Padgett and Jeff Graves the only certainty this season has been foul trouble — usually early and often.
"Sometimes I do, but at the same time I think I've got to be a little smarter I guess," Graves said. "I see some of the fouls when I look at the tape and say 'that's kind of bogus,' but I just got to I guess play a little bit smarter defense."
Graves fouled out of Sunday's game at Missouri in the second half with 1:43 remaining. Of the senior's five fouls in the 84-82 Jayhawks victory, three came away from the ball and could be argued as incidental contact. But even though Graves has fouled out of four games this season and recorded four fouls in nine more contests, he has reason to be optimistic as the Jayhawks look towards the NCAA Tournament next week.
Getting away from Big 12 games means getting away from Big 12 referees. Last season, after he averaged 6.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per game in the conference season, Graves' numbers went up to 8.7 points and 9.7 rebounds per game in the NCAA Tournament. He played 27.2 minutes per game in the Big Dance compared to 21.3 per game conference season.
"They let us bang a little bit," Graves said. "I think my fouls should start decreasing here pretty soon."
In Padgett's situation, being a freshman never helps when hoping for some sympathy and leeway from the officials. Padgett has fouled out twice this season, and has had nine games with four foul's.
"I kind of expect it just because I'm a freshman," Padgett said. "I think we've had some iffy calls, but everyone gets those once in a while."
What Padgett is still learning is how to still play aggressive in while foul trouble.
David Padgett Freshman forward
Sometimes if you get two fouls early, you don't want to get three before
"I think if we get frustrated, it's only going to get worse. The refs might see that and that's just giving yourself a bad image if you just try to flip out all the time. You've just got to relax and play it through."
halftime, so you've just kind of got to watch yourself a little bit more," Padgett said. "But if you play too non-aggressively, you're going to get exposed."
And while Padgett and Graves must cope with playing under the referees' microscope, there has been no bigger pressure valve in the past two games than sophomore forward Christian Moody.
Moody played a career-high 20 minutes against Nebraska last Wednesday, scoring three points and grabbing four rebounds. Against Missouri he only saw nine minutes, but had three rebounds and a key blocked shot against Rickey Paulding.
In terms of low-post depth, this season's Kansas team could have an advantage over the squad that was last year's national runner-up. Last season, the Jayhawks had Nick Collison and Jeff Graves as their only big-time contributors while Wayne Simien was injured. Now, Kansas has Simien, Padgett and Graves complemented by Moody who has proven he can eat up quality minutes in clutch situations.
"We just know that we have a lot of depth, so it's not going to hurt us too bad," Padgett said. "I think if we get frustrated, it's only going to get worse. The refs might see that and that's just give yourself a bad image if you just try to flip out all the time. You've just got to relax and play through it."

Baylor loss brings end to season
By Jonathan Kealing jkealing@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team ended its season yesterday with an 86-71 loss to No. 14 Baylor.
The No. 5-seeded Baylor team will meet in-state rival Texas Texas tomorrow in the second round.
The loss came in the opening round of the Big 12 Tournament.
With the win, Baylor improved to a 23-7 mark, including 11-6 in the Big 12 Conference.
No. 12-seeded Kansas ended its season with a 9-19 overall record, with a 2-15 Big 12 record. The team closed the season with10 straight losses.
Even though Kansas' record was not as successful as Baylor's, the team did have confidence going into the game.
"They know if they put two halves together, they'll win this game," Lynette Woodard, said before the game.
But Baylor came out and took a quick lead, leading by as many as seven points before Kansas could fight back.
The one-point lead was the only lead the Jayhawks would see. Baylor went on a 14-4 run, and effectively put the Jayhawks away.
With 8:15 remaining in the first half, Kansas knocked down a two-pointer to pull ahead 26-25.

Matt Tribble doesn't believe in luck. The senior, a right fielder on the Kansas baseball team, said luck has had nothing to do with his successful baseball career. Hard work and exceptional talent have earned Tribble his long list of records and honors.
Either way, the Kansas baseball team is lucky to have Tribble. As a senior at Wheaton-Warrenville South High School in Illinois, Tribble hit .477 with 10 home runs and 42 RBI. The Chicago Tribune named Tribble second-team All-State and the Daily Herald and Chicago Sun Times gave him all-area honors.

'Crazies no match for Kansas followers
Kendall Dix
hdix@kansan.com
This weekend I made my pilgrimage to the so-called biggest regular season basketball game of the year, North Carolina versus Duke.
Roy made his first trip as North Carolina's coach to what the sports media tell us is the best, loudest arena in college basketball, Cameron Indoor Stadium. I got a first-hand look at what the sports media tell us are the best, most devoted fans in college basketball, the Cameron Crazies.
I realize many readers probably felt their blood pressure rise when they read that Duke/UNC is the biggest regular season basketball game of the year. To those who believe the biggest game is Kansas/Missouri, I'm sorry. It's not.
Missouri is simply not good enough for us to have a strong national rivalry. Kansas is not eight miles down the road from Missouri. Kansas students do not live in tents outdoors for months to go to the game. ESPN does not send half of Bristol, Conn., to Lawrence to cover the game. Donald Trump has never come to the Kansas/Missouri game and I've never been offered $500 for a ticket to the Kansas/Missouri game.
Considering the media feeding frenzy and the history of exciting games, I can't dispute the grandeur of the Duke/UNC. I do, however, take exception to the reverence given to Cameron and the Crazies.
Cameron is certainly nothing to look at. It couldn't pass as a high school gymnasium in some parts of the country. The only reason it's special is that the students surround the floor, the setting is intimate and the quality of players on the court is so high.
Cameron was loud, and the fans have a zealotry for Duke reserved only for those with little in their lives besides Duke Basketball, other than differential equations and friction coefficients.
After almost running into Jay Bilas and using the restroom with Grant Hill (while wearing a Kansas jersey), I became a little star-struck.
I was impressed that each residence hall burned its customized wooden bench at a victory bonfire without ever coming close to getting out of hand.
After navigating Krzyzewskiville's well-organized tents, Beirut games and foursquare games. I started to give the Crazies a little respect.
But then I came to my senses.

Beta outplayed by Delta Chi
By Joe Bant jbant@kansan.com kansan staff writer
Every week the Kansan sports staff will highlight an intramural game of the week until the season ends. This is the first game of the series.
Editor's Note
It had five players to Delta Chi's nine. It had zero coaches to Delta Chi's one.
It was the fraternity's third string team playing the guys who were predicted to win the whole fraternity intramural basketball tournament.
Beta Theta PI knew it was in trouble even before the game started.
So Beta's players weren't exactly surprised when the final whistle blew and they had lost 72-31.
But they bore their pain with laughter and were all smiles even after the defeat.
"It was fun," said Mark Webster, Shawnee sophomore and Beta team member. "We had a good season. I was proud of our guys for at least keeping their heads up."
Webster and company came out strong, scoring the game's first basket to take a 2-0 lead. But the upset was not to be, and it was downhill from there. That was the only time it would lead in the game.
Delta Chi quickly responded, scoring the game's next 10 points and jumping out to a 21-7 lead with just over 10 minutes remaining in the half. In the next five minutes, it would extend that lead to 29-9, and walked to the bench at halftime with a more than comfortable 40-15 advantage.
Daniel Karen, Delta Chi's coach, said he knew his team had the advantage with its extra players, and he designed his game strategy with that in
Much of the time, Delta Chi did not even need to set up an offense because so many of its points came on the fast break. Its players out-rebounded Beta 25-12, and every time one of them grabbed a board, it seemed there were at least two others running down the court with numbers waiting for the outlet pass.
mind. The Plano, Texas, junior said he wanted to wear Beta down by running a fast offense and playing aggressive defense.

"We just like to run and gun," said Anthony Kahn, Delta Chi team member and Dallas, Texas, junior. "We just play well together as a team."
Kahn was on the receiving end of a few of these passes with eight points.
Delta Chi frequently turned steals into another source of quick points.

Lacrosse team brings home overtime win, shut-out defeat
The University of Kansas women's lacrosse team split two games at the University of Iowa last Saturday.
In the first game of the day, Kansas defeated Lindenwood University 5-4 in double overtime.
Lindsey Johnson, St. Louis, Mo., junior, scored three goals and Karen Schmletz, Overland Park sophomore and Jessica Wright, Derby sophomore, scored the other two.
In the second game, Kansas lost 8-0 to Wisconsin. Wisconsin fired four early goals in the second half to seal the victory. This was only the second time the Kansas women's lacrosse team has been shut out. The other was in 2000 against Truman State.
The Jayhawks' next game is Saturday, March 13, in St. Charles, Mo. Kansas will play the University of Minnesota-Duluth and the University of Missouri. Kansas has never played Duluth before and is 0-5 against Missouri.

Gobble fighting for roster position as starting pitcher
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Jimmy Gobble couldn't be doing much better in his efforts to make the Kansas City Royals pitching staff.
Gobble, a 22-year-old left-hander from Bristol, Va., is 1-0 and has not allowed a run in his first two appearances.
He has held opposing batters to a. 118 average, walking none and striking out four in five innings.
There are at least two vacancies in the Royals' rotation and Gobble has the early lead to secure one.
The Royals needed Gobble's help last August when they had five starters on the disabled list late in the season.
They summoned Gobble from Class AA Wichita, where he was 12-8 with a 3.19 earned run average in 22 starts.
Gobble allowed just one hit in three innings Monday in picking up a victory against the San Francisco Giants.
Gobble won his first two big league starts against Tampa Bay, while not allowing a run in 12 innings. He finished with a 4-5 record and a 4.61 ERA in nine starts.
Left-handers Darrell May and Brian Anderson are assured rotation spots, while Jeremy Affeldt, another lefty, is a cinch for one of the top three spots if the finger blister problems that have hampered him the past two seasons don't reappear.

PHILADELPHIA — Practice was in full swing, with Jameer Nelson leading a three-on-one fastbreak and Delonte West charging up the wing. A perfect picture of what makes Saint Joseph's run so well.

undergrads, no athletic dorms and a cramped, cinderblock home court that looks more like an intramural gym.
Tucked in west Philadelphia, the campus sits across the street from a Dollarland store and is bounded by Overbrook Avenue — as in Overbrook High, where Wilt Chamberlain rose to fame.
"I'm getting all I deserve here. I can't ask for more," star point guard Jamee Nelson said. "I'm not greedy. I would love to play in a 15,000-seat gym, but that doesn't matter to me. That 3,500 seems like 35,000."
The NBA, however, has not drafted anyone from Saint Joseph's since 1987.
And when the Atlantic 10 needed
Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse for its women's tournament, Martelli gladly moved his workout.
"the whole thing, it's like a movie," athletic director Don Dijlaja said.
But which movie — Hoosiers, where the tiny school overcomes all odds to win, or that Philly classic Rocky, where the sentimental favorite loses in the end?
Then there's the Hawk, of course. The mascot starts flapping its wings in warm-ups and does not stop — even for the national anthem — until the final buzzer, about 3,700 times a game.
Three years ago, Sarah Brennan was inside the costume when a Drexel cheerleader knocked her down. Bruised and lying on her side, she kept flapping one arm.
"My beak hit the floor and cracked," she said last week. "But we're just relentless."
And then she repeated the battle cry of all Saint Joseph's fans: "The Hawk will never die!"

When he got home, the coach wrote her an apology.

Their next game is Thursday night in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic 10 tournament, against the St. Bonaventure-Xavier winner.

How far they go depends on Nelson and West, along with their opponents inside game.

Coach's intensity adds to team's success
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansan senior sportswriter
Chris Dawson's office is immaculate. He organizes his office with the same attention to detail he uses to train his football players.
Dawson's preparation is one of the reasons Kansas tied Rutgers for the most improved team in the NCAA BCS conferences between 2002 and 2003. Both teams gained four more victories than they did in 2002.
Dawson's ability to train strength and speed makes him one of the top coaches in the nation. The improvement between the team in 2002, when Dawson wasn't here, to his first year is astounding.
"Everything we work for we tell them will make them better on Satdays," Dawson said. "I give all of the credit to the kids."
While he won't take credit for last season's turnaround, the numbers to prove it are fairly easy to find.
Kansas ranked last in the Big 12 Conference in both total offense and total defense in 2002.
"I always tell my friends that at least I don't have to sit behind a desk all day with a porcelain smile painted on."
Chris Dawson Kansas strength coach
Kansas' offensive line wasn't strong enough to generate holes, which led to Kansas averaging a paltry 3.2 yards per carry. The passing offense lacked the speed to stretch the defense as the team boasted just eight plays of more than 25 yards.
Enter 2005. The stronger offensive line helped the running game average 4.4 yards per carry and 40 yards more rushing per game. The explosive passing game had eight players who had at least one play of more than 25 yards, instead of just eight plays. The offense averaged 10 points more per game while the defense allowed more than 10 points
fewerpergame.
A major part of the turnaround was the attitude. Dawson said the motto for last year's team was to finish everything it started.
"It was finish the drill, finish the play, finish
Dawson
the game," Dawson said. "I have never been around a harder working group of kids, ever."
A product of the hard work was a stronger, faster team that was ready once Big 12 play rolled around.
Instead of lifting and drilling as a full team, Dawson split the drills by position based on strengths and weaknesses. The offensive line needed to get stronger, Dawson said, so they spent more time in the weight room in the offseason.
While most of the focus for Dawson may be strength-related, his ability to coach speed may be even more important. A common misconception about speed is the way to train for different types of
speed correctly, Dawson said.
"You don't really want to coach straight line speed, I want to apply different forms of resistance from all different directions," Dawson said. "Because that's the way it's going to be on the field. That's the kind of game we play. You want to be fast, train fast. You want to be explosive, train explosive."
Dawson's résumé prior to arriving in Lawrence is extensive. After playing linebacker for Oklahoma in the mid '90s, Dawson became a graduate assistant coach. At the time, his interest was in coaching football, not strength training.
His choice shifted as he gained more knowledge into the craft, and he spent 1996 to 2000 as the assistant strength and conditioning coach at Oklahoma. He then passed 12 weeks as the team administrator for the Las Vegas Outlaws of the Xtreme Football League. After taking an intern position with the Dallas Cowboys, former Jayhawks coach Glen Mason invited Dawson to take the strength and conditioning coach spot at Minnesota
Two years later, he came to Kansas as the Anderson Family
Strength and Conditioning Center was under construction. While the physical structure of the 42,000-square-foot building was already set, Dawson was given free reign with equipment selection.
Mark Mangino, Kansas football coach, realizing the impact of the hire at the time, said Dawson was a great catch.
"He knows what it takes to develop quality Division I players and will be a tremendous asset to our program," Mangino said.
That program, in the early stages, was ultimately what brought Dawson back to Kansas. Having worked with Mangino before, Dawson bought into the vision. He said there was something truly special about building a program.
"I always tell my friends that at least I don't have to sit behind a desk all day with a porcelain smile painted on." Dawson said, pointing to the weight room. "I get to be out there, making things happen."
As for that desk, the monument to preparation perfection, Dawson said he's mostly glad that he doesn't have to use it for much of the day.

SURPRISE, Ariz. — Kansas City Royals centerfielder Carlos Beltran was scratched from the lineup for yesterday's game with the Chicago Cubs because of a sore right elbow and will likely be out a few days.
Beltran injured the arm in the fifth inning Monday while diving back to first base on an attempted pickoff throw by San Francisco pitcher Dustin Hermanson.
"When I saw the ball get by the first baseman, I was trying to get back up and rolled over my wrist." Beltran said. "I felt something in my forearm. I was feeling it all the way to third base."
"Tony told me to go play one more inning, but I told him I was unable to play. I was feeling sore," he said, referring to Tony Pena, Royals manager.
Beltran, who is eligible for free agency after this season, led the Royals last year with a .307 batting average, 26 home runs, 100 RBIs, 102 runs and 41 stolen bases.
David DeJesus replaced Beltran in centerfield and went 2-for-4 with two RBIs in the Royals' 6-5 victory yesterday over the Cubs.
Also yesterday, right-hander Brian Bass, one of the Royals'top pitching prospects, said he wouldn't be able to pitch for awhile because of an elbow injury.
An MRI showed Bass had a bone bruise on his right elbow. He said he has been told he would not be allowed to throw for at least seven days and perhaps for up to four weeks.
Bass, 22, went 9-8 last season with Wilmington (Del.) and his 2.84 earned run average tied for the Carolina League lead.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jeff Garcia left the field at Candlestick Park following a 24-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks that ended the season on Dec. 27, 2003.
Ex-49ers signs contract with Browns
The Associated Press
Jeff Garcia has a new team. It's still not clear where his old target Terrell Owens will play next season.
Garcia agreed to a $25 million, four-year contract with the Brown's, ending Tim Couch's rocky tenure in Cleveland. The Brown's and Garcia's agent, Steve Baker, confirmed the deal to The Associated Press yesterday.
Owens, Garcia's former teammate with the San Francisco 49ers, was waiting for a rulon on whether his trade to the Baltimore Ravens was valid. The wide receiver was due to become a free agent, but a paperwork error kept him with the 49ers.
Garcia's arrival will end Couch's five-year tenure with the Brown's, who drafted him with the No. 1 overall pick in 1999.
Garcia had better fortune. The three-time Pro Bowl quarterback couldn't agree on a restructured contract with San Francisco,
which released him earlier this month.
The team cannot afford both QBs and most likely will trade or release Couch, who is under contract for two more seasons.
The Brownls had been trying to get Couch to rework his contract. He rejected an offer last week that would have cut his salary by more than half.
Garcia had been San Francisco's starting quarterback since 1999.
In 2000, he set a franchise record by passing for 4,278 yards and earned his first Pro Bowl berth. Garcia was a mobile, steady and tough-nosed competitor in San Francisco, attributes
that endeared him to Browns coach Butch Davis.
Owens, meanwhile, has said he won't play for the Ravens.
"So that there is no misunderstanding, regardless of what happens with the grievance, under the present circumstances I do not see myself playing for the Ravens." Owens said.
"I can assure everyone that I will continue to keep fighting for my right to play for the team of my choice even after the grievance. At the end of this process, I simply want to be able to exercise my right to play for a team of my choosing under a deal that is fair to me and my family."
Owens needed to void the final three years of his contract by Feb. 21 to become a free agent. He and his agent, David Joseph, did not do so, and now they plan to take their case to a special arbitrator.
Owens wants to be declared a free agent anyway, thus voiding the trade with Baltimore and allowing him to sign with the Eagles.
Also Monday:
The Vikings agreed to terms with wide receiver Marcus Robinson, who they hope will complement Randy Moss.
The Jets released veteran wide receiver Curtis Conway and welcomed Justin McCareins, obtained for a second-round draft choice from Tennessee last week.
Oakland signed three-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman Ron Stone, who spent the past two seasons with San Francisco before being cut last week in a salary-cap move.
Cincinnati re-signed center Rich Braham, who has spent his entire 10-year career with the team.

Sutton unanimously named Big 12 coach of the year
The Associated Press
STILLWATER, Okla. — Eddie Sutton watched reels of film from his team's practices, then glanced over the preseason polls that picked Oklahoma State to finish fifth in the Big 12 Conference.
He decided that was about right.
"I think when you looked at the talent that was returning, it was a pretty accurate pick," Sutton said. "Those things are always pretty close."
Turns out, even a grizzled coaching veteran like Sutton couldn't have been more wrong.
Oklahoma State (24-3, 14-2) emerged as the Big 12's surprise champion for the 2003-04 season, winning its first outright league title since 1964-65 in the former Big Eight and setting a school record for most conference wins.
With three transfers in the starting lineup and no regular contributor taller than 6-foot-9, the Cowboys somehow managed to become one of nation's top 10 teams over the final month of the season.
Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton congratulated former Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich following the Jayhawks 79-61 victory over the Cowboys, March 1, 2003, in Allen Fieldhouse.
"It's been a Cinderella season," Sutton said. "We certainly have overachieved in a lot of areas."
A panel of 23 sportswriters all agreed, and Sutton was chosen unanimously for the Big 12 coach of the year.

eight-year history of the league that some was garnered all the votes — Roy Williams did it at Kansas in 1997.
"I'm really honored, but I have to make sure I share it," Sutton said. "This coaching staff has done a remarkable job ... there were just so many question marks with this team."
It's only the second time in the
Of course, these type of honors are nothing new to Sutton.
In 34 years, Sutton has won eight in four different leagues two that don't even exist anymore.
He was previously chosen top coach with Arkansas in the Southwest Conference, Kentucky in the Southeastern Conference and Oklahoma State in the Big Eight and Big 12.

Even with that track record, Sutton didn't think this team of underdogs would be the one to capture Oklahoma State's first hoops crown in the Big 12.
The Cowboys were a team long on quickness and athleticism, short on size and depth.
"Of all the teams I've had the honor to coach, this will always be a special team," he said. "They certainly surpassed what I and the coaching staff thought they'd accomplish."
accompaniment Sutton somehow found a way to blend holdovers Tony Allen and Ivan McFarlin with transfers point guard John Lucas III from Baylor, shooting guard Daniel Bobik from Brigham Young University and power forward Joey Graham from the University of Central Florida.
That figured to be a losing formula in the Big 12, which featured conference powers Missouri, Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma — all ranked among the nation's top 15 teams in the preseason and all boasting a bruising big man or two.
Oklahoma State's weaknesses were exposed in a 76-71 defeat at BYU, a game in which the Cougars' 6-foot-11-inch, 280-pound center Rafael Araujo posted career highs of 32 points and 17 rebounds.
Sutton left Salt Lake City wondering if his team had enough toughness to compete in the Big 12. To figure it out, Sutton made the players wear helmets and shoulder pads at the next practice.
"We played so poorly and they just went right back to work," Sutton said. "It didn't seem to do anything but help them."
From there, the Cowboys lost only their conference opener at Texas Tech and against a Missouri team desperate to stay in the hunt for an at-large NCAA tournament berth.
Most impressive, the Cowboys swept 11th-ranked Texas — first, snapping the Longhorns' 25-game home winning streak on Jan. 24 and then clinching a share of the title in last week's showdown at raucous Gallagher-Iba
Arena.
"Eddie's team and this program have had a great year." Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "They did something that I didn't think would happen."
Sutton, who turns 68 on Friday.
nas kept up his remarkable winning pace even in the twilight of his career. He won't give retirement a thought until he's reached 800 victories, he said, a mark that might be only two or three seasons away because he stands at 747.
And, as Sutton showed this season, the gray-haired coach is still capable of a few surprises.
"He'll bring the best out of you," Graham said. "If you can't play for coach Sutton, you can't play for anybody."

TRIBBLE: Turned down majors to play at Kansas
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
His talent caught the attention of major league scouts and after his senior season the Chicago Cubs selected Tribble in the 15th round of the Major League Baseball draft.
Tribble passed on the draft offer for the opportunity to play Division I baseball at Kansas and to earn a degree.
After his first season at Kansas, Tribble was named the Bob Allison Rookie of the Year
As a freshman utility player, Tribble started 54 of 66 games at first base, center field or left field. He hit 11 triples that season, setting the record for most triples ever by a freshman. It was his first of multiple lavahawk records.
The next record that Tribble would break would be the longest hit streak at Kansas. As a junior, Tribble hit safely in 20 consecutive games.
That hit streak is currently in jeopardy, but the 6-foot-2, 190-pound Tribble is the one threatening it. Tribble is working on a 14-game hit streak that started on Feb. 6.
— Kansas' award for an outstanding first-year player.
Tribble said he didn't think much about his hit streak at the
"Matt Tribble is an absolute pleasure to coach and he always plays the game in a first-class manor." Price said.
Tribble said that he became more consistent at the plate because he learned to hit the ball to all parts of the field. When he was a freshman, he focused on hitting the ball over the fence. As an experienced senior, he uses his hands more and worries less about the long ball, he said.
Kansas coach Ritch Price attributes Tribble's success at the plate to his tremendous hands and use of the whole field. Price said Tribble was consistent because he was never too up or down and always had control of his emotions.
Since coming to Kansas, Trible has played in more than 160 games and works hard in the offseason to develop physically.
"He's a prime example of what hard work will do for a guy," said teammate Ryan Baty. "He's one of the best outfielders I've ever seen and played with."
plate, he just took it one at-bat at a time.
Baty said the team was seeing the fruits of Trible's labor now after the hard work that he put in during the off-season.
"A streak is just something that kind of happens," he said. "If it ended tomorrow I wouldn't be disappointed, I just want to help the team."
Tribble went through knee surgery following the 2003 season. He said that he saw his time away from baseball as an opportunity to work on his swing and get into the weight room. As his 2004 numbers indicate, the hard work has paid off.
Tribble is among the top three on the team in five different offensive categories. Tribble has the team's third highest batting average (.368), along with 32 hits, 22 RBI, 3 home runs and 11 walks.
The impressive numbers at the plate make it easy to overlook Tribble's defensive skills. Through 23 games this season, Tribble has not committed a single error. In all four seasons at Kansas, Tribble has committed nine total errors. It's his quickness and speed in the field that make him excellent defensively, Price said.
Out of high school, Tribble lacked experience and was not sure if he was physically ready for the major leagues. But growing up on the south side of Chicago, Tribble had been a long time fan of the major leagues, especially the White Sox and Bo Jackson.

he wanted to wear Bo Jackson's No. 16. Since 16 was already taken, Tribble wears No. 8—Jackson's number for the White Sox after he returned from hip surgery.
After recovering from surgery of his own, Tribble seems to be back on track.

minating in the 41-point victory.
Trying to slow the game down was really the only strategy outmanned Beta could use, but Delta Chi's athleticism on defense and its quickness down the court were too much for Beta's players, who were visibly tired after only a few minutes of play.
The second half brought more of the same for both teams. Beta opened up the scoring, knocking down a quick three-point shot, but Delta Chi quickly turned out a 8-0 run. It was the first of many runs in the half, eventually cul-

Neither team was surprised at the game's outcome.
"Duke always beats Oak View Elementary." Beta member Will McCollum, Leavenworth junior, said.
Delta Chi will advance on to the next round of the intramural tournament. Beta's third team will go home, eliminated but heartened by a successful season.

LOSS: No more women's games after tough season
The sophomore had only six points in the first 20 minutes. Before the game, Woodard indicated that she expected Kemp to step up for this match.
The score was 66-59, but another Baylor run proved too much for Kansas. Unlike previous games, the Jayhawks did not collapse in the final minutes.
"I was proud of the way they played," Woodard said. "Iasked them to play 40 minutes, and they did."
"Crystal has both an inside and outside game," Woodard said. "I've challenged her to push both those games."
The Jayhawks were led by sophomore forward Tamara Ransburg, with 15 points and seven rebounds. Kemp led the team with 10 rebounds and added 14 points. Junior guard Aquanita Burras also chipped in 14 points and pulled down eight boards.
Hallman had in 11 points. Freshman guard Sharita Smith also contributed nine points.
The second half started about the same way the first half ended.
Powered by an 11-1 run, the Bears took a commanding 15 point lead. The Jayhawks battled back and a two-pointer by junior guard Larisha Graves brought the team within seven with
about 10 minutes remaining.
Kansas was without freshman Lauren Irvin, who did not make the trip to Dallas because of a violation of an unspecified team policy.
Sophomore forward Erica
With the conclusion of the season, Woodard said she would be giving the team a few weeks off. But she said the team would waste no time before looking to next year.
"They have to keep fighting, because that's what Jayhawk basketball is about," Woodard said.

DIX: Cameron not as excellent as fans believe
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
When looking at the banners hanging in the arena, it appears that Duke history began some time in the early 1980s with the arrival of Mike Krzyzewski. That's certainly a testament to the greatness of Coach K, but it should also remind the Dukies that they've got a few more years of winning to go before they reach the level of a Kentucky or a UCLA. Duke fans think they have the greatest program of all time.
I think that's because they're not real basketball fans. To them, basketball is just another part of their academic culture they absorb when they get to college. Cameron Crazes are essentially a bunch of dorks in stupid costumes and body paint who know what team they're cheering for but not why they're cheering for them.
The Crazyz set only one goal: to be obnoxious. They achieve this goal night after night but lack the basketball intelligence of Allen Fieldhouse fans. Duke fans scream mindlessly while Kansas fans cheer louder to support their team when it is struggling. And believe it or not, Duke's alumni are actually quieter than Kansas'.
After the game, the Cameron faithful, adorned in "Go to Hell, Carolina" T-shirts, cooperatively heckled Roy and the UNC players as they walked to the locker room. I consider it a classless move and I've never seen it happen at Allen Fieldhouse. After games, Kansas fans cheer for the Jayhawks, they don't kick teams while they're down.
The Duke/UNC game at Cameron may be the biggest and most-hyped college basketball game of the year, but that doesn't make it the best. I'm glad I got to see the spectacle, but I'll take a game at Allen Fieldhouse any day.

Crossword puzzles appeal to many, irritate others
By Steve Vocorodt svocorodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The clue for 10-across in today's The University Daily Kansan crossword is "prepare for a fight." For those not up to the mental challenge, the answer is "spar."
Preparing for a fight is part of everyday class for many lecturers and students when it comes to students doing the crossword in class.
Students like Julia Schneider have no problem sitting in most classes with the crossword folded over. Schneider, Columbia, Mo., senior,
said the crossword was probably the only reason she picked up the newspaper.
Such students are the bane of teaching for some professors who find themselves competing with the crossword for attention.
lecture classes
"There are a lot of classes I wouldn't do it in because I find the class
word for attention. "It's called lack of attentiveness," journalism professor John Broholm said. "And it always comes back to bite you in the ass later on."
But that makes no difference to Schneider, who does the crossword every day in class, especially in large lecture classes.
interesting," Schneider said. "But if it's a class like Biology 100 class where there are 1,000 people and it's eighth grade science, why should I listen?"
Jeff Whittier, recent KU graduate, has seen the friction of the crossword's presence in class.
"I've seen a couple professors yell at a student, but those people usually weren't too sly about what they were doing." Whittier said.

A meeting yesterday in JRP Hall tried to reconcile differences between officials in the School of Education and students who will be affected by the school's decision to cut its physical education program.
Twenty-two applicants applied to major in physical education in the school, but none were accepted because the school expects to eliminate the program by the year 2006. All current physical education students will have to finish their degrees by then.

She told applicants that she would contact each one of them individually to talk about their situations and pursuing other majors, she said. She said the meeting went well.

Resolution opposes banning gay unions
By Andy Marso

Kansan staff writer
Student Senate committees passed a resolution last night to oppose a constitutional ban on gay marriage.
The resolution was written in response to a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would define marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
The resolution was written by Tyler Longpine, CLAS senator, and Colt Schafer, Queers and Allies senator. It stated that a ban on gay marriage would go against the University of Kansas' Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, which prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Colin Brainard, freshman senator, spoke against the resolution. He said it would be useless to argue a constitu

After months of preparation, east members in the 55th annual Rock Chalk Revue will take the stage tonight for opening night.
Under the theme "Close Call," five pairs of fraternities and sororites will perform their original skits at 7 tonight, tomorrow and Saturday at the Lied Center to raise money for the United Way of Douglas County.
Last night's dress rehearsal was the last in a long line of daily practices the cast members have been required to attend since the first day of classes this semester.
The individual groups have met for at least an hour on weekdays and an hour-and-a-half on weekends, said Jessica Mace, executive director for Rock Chalk. The Woodbury, Minn., senior said the show's 250 cast members had worked tirelessly to produce the best possible show.

Internet sales tax bill causes disagreement within House
TOPEKA — Legislation suspending the state's new destination-based sales tax system until Congress allows taxation on Internet purchases won House approval Tuesday but appeared doomed in the Senate.
The new law, adopted last year, requires vendors to collect all sales taxes that apply at the point of delivery rather than the point of sale. The result is that merchants must deal with hundreds of tax rates and track sales in more detail than ever before.
Under the bill advanced by the 95-29 House vote, Kansas' previous sales tax policy would be restored until Congress passes a law allowing sales tax on Internet sales.
But the 2003 law is supported by Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius as well as the Republican leadership of the Senate, which voted 24-15 last month against suspending it.
Sen. Dave Corbin, who chairs the Assessment and Taxation Committee, said senators want to help businesses that are struggling with the new law but that he did not plan to have the committee consider suspending it.
"We've had hearings and we've voted on it," said Corbin (R-Towanda).
The law is intended to position Kansas to capture what officials say could be $100 million a year in sales tax on transactions made over the Internet.
But many merchants have complained that the law is burdensome, particularly for businesses that deliver goods to multiple locations. The Department of Revenue has estimated that 14,000 of the state's 100,000 retailers were significantly affected by the law.

The House bill includes a provision granting a one-time, $1,000 income tax credit to help cover the costs of complying with the new law for businesses that collect less than $20,000 a year in sales taxes.

Jackson prosecutor requests grand jury in molesting case LOS ANGELES —The district attorney who charged Michael Jackson with child molestation is convening a grand jury to hear evidence in the case, a move apparently designed to sidestep a public preliminary hearing, a newspaper reported yesterday.
Citing unnamed legal sources, the Santa Barbara News-Press said potential grand jurors have received summonses to appear later this month.
A spokesman for Tellem Worldwide, which handles media inquiries for Santa Barbara County prosecutor Tom Sneddon, said a grand jury is being convened but he could not say whether it's for the Jackson case or another matter.
"The business of the grand jury is confidential," spokesman Jason Karpf said.
Jackson's lawyers said yesterday they could not comment due to a judge's gag order.
"It doesn't surprise me if he (Sneddon) has decided to go to the grand jury," said Loyola University Law School Professor Laurie Levenson. "It avoids the media spectacle and it gives them a chance for a dress rehearsal" before a possible trial.
Jackson has pleaded innocent to seven counts of performing lewd or lascivious acts on a child under 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent, reportedly wine. He's free on $3 million bail.
Internet companies together work to decrease junk e-mail
WASHINGTON — Setting aside their rivalries to fight unwanted e-mail that is choking cyberspace, leading Internet companies announced yesterday they have sued hundreds of people suspected of sending unsolicited junk messages known as spam.
The legal actions by Microsoft Corp., America Online Inc., Earthlink Inc. and Yahoo! Inc., represent the first major industry actions under the federal "can spam" legislation that went into effect Jan. 1. The suits, which are aimed at shutting down the spammers, were filed in federal courts in California, Georgia, Virginia and Washington star
Dozens of those named were identified only as "John Doe" defendants accused of e-mailing unwanted pitches. Lawyers expressed confidence they can work through the courts to identify and find them.
"We've been doing this a long time, and we know what we're doing. We're only a couple subpoenas away from standing at someone's door and handing them a summons," said Les Seagraves, the assistant general counsel at Earthlink, which named 75 "John Doe" defendants in its lawsuits.
Jayme A. Aschemeyer, Aurora senior, Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kansas) and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius posed for the camera at a private Democratic fundraiser on Friday. The event was followed by an Ad Astra dinner.

Device makes lighter loads possible for rescue workers
BERKELEY, Calif. — Move over Bionic Man and make room for BLEEX — the Berkeley Lower Extremities Exoskeleton, with strap-on robotic legs designed to turn an ordinary human into a super strider.
Ultimately intended to help people like soldiers or firefighters carry heavy loads for long distances, these boots are made for marching.

The exoskeleton consists of a pair of
In lab experiments, says Kazerono, testers have walked around in the 100-pound exoskeleton plus a 70-pound backpack and felt as if they were carrying just five pounds.
More than 40 sensors and hydraulic mechanisms function like a human nervous system, constantly calculating how to distribute the weight and create a minimal load for the wearer.

Visit from Supreme Court justice causes controversy at University
By Neetey J. Spellmeier
nspellmeier@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Recent articles have sparked ethical debates involving Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, one of which involves a KU dean.
A series of articles in the Los Angeles Times, the most recent one appearing on Monday, has profiled Scalia and decisions he has made about his contact with people who may be too closely involved in cases before the Supreme Court. One article featured a trip Scalia made to the University of Kansas in November 2001.
Stephen McAllister, dean of the law school, arranged the visit. At the time, McAllister had some involvement in two cases the court was ruling on. During Scalia's trip to Kansas, the justice went hunting with then-Gov. Bill Graves and Dick Bond, former state senate president. McAllister said Bond made the arrangements for the hunting trip.
Hints for the following quiz:
McAllister said there was nothing inappropriate about Scalia's visit to the University in 2001. He said he was never alone with Scalia.
I tried to keep myself away from non-official law school
activities," McAllister said.
He said he did not accompany Scalia on the hunting trip, which he thought had been misrepresented in some stories.

Scalia ruled in favor of McAllister's client, the state of Kansas, on both cases.

Times published a story about Scalia hunting with Vice President Dick Cheney while he was ruling on a case in which Cheney was a part of.
Dan Levin, assistant professor of political science at the University of Utah, said there was a significant difference between the case involving Cheney and the one involving McAllister. If someone is being represented on a case, they have more at stake than someone who is defending it, he said.
"They'd like to win, but they
aren't the ones looking at the cost of losing or the benefits of winning," Levin said of lawyers.
ming. Levin said that there was a group of attorneys who argue regularly in front of the Supreme Court and often see the justices socially. This is not a problem because the lawyers have all won and lost cases involving the Supreme Court, which keeps it a level playing field. Either way, the attorney gets paid whereas the clients are the ones affected. Levin said that those in the spotlight need to consider how the public will perceive actions.
"The general norm is to avoid not just inappropriate behavior, but any appearance thereof," Levin said.
Levin said.
It is not unusual for justices to interact with lawyers in Washington, D.C., McAllister said. There, he said, this may have never been an issue. Even at the time, no one questioned Scalia's visit to the university.
university McAllister said the chain of events with both Scalia's visit and Supreme Court case procedures was misunderstood.
Scalia was invited to the speak in December 1999 by the law dean who preceded McAllister, Michael Hoeflich, McAllister said.
McAllister said he took over in July 2000, and the justice committed to speak in either late summer or early fall 2000. At that time, McAllister said he did not know he would be a lawyer on a case in front of the court.
The process by which a case goes to the Supreme Court is also uncertain, McAllister said. Ninety-nine percent of the time the cases are not taken, or those involved do not know when or if they will be heard, he said. McAllister said he does not regret his decision to host Scalia.
Scana.
"I regret that people are so concerned — I feel I did what was appropriate," he said. "I was not a party in any way, whereas Cheney literally was part of the lawsuit."
When McAllister did find out he would be one of lawyers on a case in front of the court, he said he contacted Scalia's chambers to let them know he had some involvement in a case on the calendar but left the decision up to Scalia on whether he should come.

The position has been open since Richard Morrell left at the beginning of the Fall 2003 semester to become an associate vice provost.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for Student Success and former registrar at Purdue University
"Whether they realize it or not," Roney said, "students use services from the registrar's office on almost a daily basis."
The registrar's office is in Strong Hall. It is in charge of enrollment, transcripts, enroll and pay Web site, residency classification, and the posting of grades.
Cindy Derritt serves as the
interim University registrar. Derritt worked in the office before the opening and was appointed to the position by Roney.
Fred Rodriguez, associate dean of education, is the chairman of the search committee. The committee began reviewing applications on Feb. 2.
Roney said the committee had conducted some phone interviews with candidates for the opening.
The registrar position is one of
eight job openings in the vice provost for Student Success organization.
Richard Johnson, dean of students, said there was nothing unusual with a large number of openings at this time of year.
"This is the season," Johnson said. "It typically begins in February and ends in mid-April."
The target date to fill the registrar position is July 1.

'Gourmet' airline food comes up short
For all of you planning to fly somewhere this spring break, be warned: the airline industry has drastically changed
I wish I could say I was referring only to the increased security measures of putting your shoes and belt through the X- machine or showing your government-issued identification twice instead of once.
GUEST COMMENTARY
New obnoxious airline practices make post-9/11 security mania look comfortable.
US Airways has come up with a brilliant marketing scheme for attracting customers: make them pay for their inflight meals. On a recent flight, I was offered a choice between a gourmet Wolfgang Puck-designed roast beef sandwich or a gourmet Wolfgang Puck-designed chicken Caesar salad.
1.
Kendall Dix opinion@kansan.com
designated. I'm not sure what US Airways considers gourmet, but Puck's Beverly Hills restaurant does not feature roast beef sandwiches or chicken Caesar salads as its marquis entrees.
What is the cost of such gourmet decadence?
$10. That's right, $10!
If that seems a little out of your price range, you can always drop five bucks on the egg salad croissant breakfast snack pack or the Italian hoagie snack pack for lunch/dinner.
Needless to say, I was enraged by the prospect of airline cuisine that actually costs money. We're talking about a type of food that is notoriously known as some of the worst food on the planet. Now I'm expected to pay for it?
Oh well. At least I could eat my free, delicious, honey-roasted peanuts and wash them down with a free can of the refreshing beverage of my choice.
Wait a minute. No I couldn't
The flight attendant poured me a glassful of orange juice, but wouldn't give me the rest of the can. And instead of peanuts she gave me a bag of pretzels, which I abhor.
I asked the flight attendant what the story was. She told me she wasn't supposed to give passengers a full can of Coke because it saved the airline a few minutes.
pennies. She said she would have hooked me up with the extra few ounces had I asked for it, but was prohibited from being so generous.
She also told me the airlines have opted for pretzels because they're worried about people who are allergic to peanuts.
I said that people allergic to peanuts know that they are allergic to peanuts and would not choose to eat them.
She said some people are so allergic, that even peanut dust in the air could lead to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction. Consequently, these peanut-people carry an emergency Epipen, a self-injecting shot of epinephrine.
I asked if it was allowed to bring my own peanuts onto the plane and eat them.
She said that she couldn't stop anyone from eating peanuts on a plane, but that airlines won't provide them. And peanut-phobes are affecting more than just air travel.
My mother works as a nurse in an elementary school. In the cafeteria, students sit in zones that are divided according to the peanut content of their lunches. If Billy has a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, he has to sit in the peanut zone. He's not allowed in the peanut-free
zone.
Democracy concerns itself with protecting the minority from the tyranny of the majority. I charge that it should be the other way around.
Besides, how bad can the sting of an Epipen shot really be? It can't hurt worse than the sting of paying for airline food.
Those of us who are able to taste the newly forbidden honey-roasted nuts must be permitted to do so. Those unfortunate souls who are allergic to peanuts have tragically become weak links in the genetic chains. They must learn to adapt in a way that doesn't hold the rest of us hostage, or I'm sorry to say, perish from peanut asphyxiation. It's survival of the fittest exemplified.

Events in Haiti play into next U.S. election
WAKE UP!
COMMENTARY
Former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide is no stranger to violent uprisings from political opposition.
P
Last week Aristide was once again forced out of his country after Haitian rebels, calling themselves the Revolutionary Artibonite Resistance Front, threatened to remove him from office. The rebels were only 25 miles outside of the capital, Port-au-Prince, before the United States flew Aristide out of the country in the wee hours of the morning.
Brandon Cobb
opinion@kansan.com
The first time Aristide had to seek exile was in 1991 when the Haitian military staged a coup d'etat against the government. Aristide spent more than 1,000 days in exile in Venezuela and the United States. While in the United States, Aristide was able to form an alliance with the United Nations, the Clinton administration and members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Aristide's international networking proved to be pivotal in regaining power. He returned back to Haiti in 1994 and went on to serve the rest of his five-year term until 1996.
Because a Haitian president cannot serve consecutive terms, Aristide ran for office again in 2001. Aristide won the
presidency with 91.8 percent of the vote. But there were accusations that he won the election in a fraudulent manner. Those accusations led to the international community imposing sanctions against Haiti that blocked millions of dollars worth of aid to the country.
Although Haiti is thousands of miles away, the events that occur there do affect Americans. In 1991and 1992 the U.S. Coast Guard picked up over 40,000 refugees fleeing the turmoil in Haiti. Nikkiii Dolce, Wichita senior, is one the few Haitian-American students on campus and pays very close attention to the events that unfold in her native country.
"The events in Haiti have been of concern to me since I was young. I share the
pride that my parents feel for the country of their birth, despite the changes Haiti has endured," Dolce said.
Dolce's grandparents were visiting Kansas when the unrest in Haiti began. Because of this, they cannot go back. They have been in the United States for about six months. Some of Dolce's cousins were not able to attend school, and a cousin was shot and killed in early January.
"In my opinion, what scares Haitians who live abroad is the instability of the nation and the well-being of family and friends. Once politics in Haiti can be addressed, established and maintained, families living abroad might not worry so much," Dolce said.
The ousting of Aristide will be an issue in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. John Kerry's daughter, Vanessa, has already criticized President Bush by saying, "I believe this administration just helped overthrow, basically overthrow, a democratically elected president."
Aristide supporters believe that he was forced to resign by the Bush administration. Aristide told some members of the Congressional Black Caucus he did not resign and was kidnapped by U.S.
diplomatic and military officials. The Bush administration has adamantly denied those allegations. Aristide is currently in exile in the Central African Republic.
Meanwhile in Haiti, Aristide supporters, U.S Marines and Haitian rebels engaged in a gun battle that killed five and injured more than 30 during a protest.
test.
Interim Haitian President Boniface Alexandre has a tough road ahead of him. Aristide still believes that he is the legitimate leader of Haiti, and there is sure to be more violence in store between Aristide supporters and rebels.
Whoever is chosen in the U.S. presidential election will have to address the problems with Haiti. Those problems range from the increasing AIDS epidemic, election inconsistencies and repeated violence.
As voters in the next election, the events that unfold in Haiti do matter because it could mean sending more U.S. troops to try nation-building such as in Iraq and Afghanistan.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Profanities used to shock
I just got pulled over by a policeman for walking across the street and he asked me for my driver's license. Isn't that kind of backwards?
I was shocked and appalled at the audacity of Laura Rose Barr's article "International Women's Day: Vagina's are good" in Monday's Kansan.
Associating Feminism with a made up holiday and using the term "vagina" not once, not twice, not three times — but eight yes, eight times — with the added "pussy" and "cunt" thrown in for extra shock value, was a disservice to such a wonderfully pertinent news publication.
Barr uses a satirical play such as "The Vagina Monologues," which is the coming of age story of a young woman, and compares its hilarious antics with those plaguing our world, such as battery, sexual slavery and forced prostitution.
Barr can't decide whether to praise the word "vagina," which she repeats for shock, or to discredit those in charge of "trafficking and honor killings," which I believe should be the main focus of this new "vagina" holiday Barr has come up with.
Her statistic that 52.2 percent of this campus has a vagina was taken from the national statistic, where 49.1 percent of this campus has reported having a vagina.
Ms.Barr, gratuitous use of profanity will only separate you from everyone, not gain respect for vaginas.
Blemishes in all histories
Although Mr. Minor may believe that all white ancestors were rich, racist, sexist and champions of inequality, there are achievements worth celebrating.
Celebrating white heritage is repulsive? I was disturbed by Cornelius Minor's column "Celebration of white history regressive" on Friday.
Minorities are not the only people who have overcome obstacles, stood up to oppressors and fought for freedoms. There are blemishes on white America's past, but to say it is repulsive to celebrate the accomplishments of one race because some were corrupt, communists or slave owners is walking a fine line of racism itself.
Eric Schaumburg Prairie Village junior
The most offensive part of Mr. Minor's article is his defamation of our Constitution (aka "a collection of half-truths"). Ironically, the Bill of Rights is what has provided him his opportunity to demean a race and slander his country.
Besides, if you were to look closely at minority histories as well, you might find that not all have always been model societies of liberty, equality and fairness.
Kyle Hoppes Fremont, Neb., senior civil engineering
First, Pirotte says that denying the right of marriage to homosexuals is not similar to previous civil rights movements because homosexuals can still vote and hold public office. This is true, but women and African Americans still had the right of marriage.
Pirotte's opinion that gays should lobby Congress rather than go through judges is flawed. Going through Congress makes the matter entirely political, forcing senators and representatives, who are pressured by their parties, to make decisions.
Finally, Pirotte argues the "slippery slope." I fail to see how changing the marriage laws from being "between one man and one woman" to "between two men, two women, or one man and one woman" will suddenly make it possible to marry 30 women.
Categorizing homosexuals with polygamists and people who participate in incest is a mistake (they do not compare), and takes away from the depth of your argument.
I am writing in response to Matt Pirotte's column "Protecting traditional marriage is not hateful" which was in the Kansan Tuesday. His argument, though it was well thought out, has some critical flaws.

Wescoe'dungeon'a hotspot for skating, ticketing
By Laura Pate
lpate@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Skateboarders seem to be damned if they do, and damned if they don't.
In its Jan. 2004 issue, Thrasher skateboarding magazine touted Lawrence as the "jewel of the Great Plains." But if skateboarders want to experience Wescoe, what Thrasher refers to as the "Dungeon of Stoke," they risk receiving a ticket. If they go the safe route, they skate at Centennial Park's Skateboard Park, 600 Rockledge Rd. — a skate park that is a bit old and not big, said local skaters.
local skaters.
In 1990, a skater lost control of his board and hit a 20-year-old student in the head at Wescoe Terrace. On Sept. 18, 1990, commissioners approved an ordinance, which made skateboarding illegal on the sidewalks along Jayhawk Boulevard from West Campus Road to 13th Street. This encompasses any place within 1,000 ft. of that area, including Wescoe.
But skaters still flock there Tuesday afternoon, a Kansas City, Mo., senior who wished to remain anonymous, filmed J.P. Redmon as he skated on the Wescoe stair rails. He filmed the Manhattan sophomore for a skateboarding video, Through Being Nice, which will premiere
in April at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St.
"Skateboarding wasn't meant to be in a caged area," Redmon said about the skate park. "It's coolest to express yourself on something not meant for skateboarding."
boarding. The filmer, who worried the KU Public Safety Office would track him down for skateboarding on campus, has received more than a few tickets for skating at Wescoe.
The danger of receiving a ticket is worth it to Redmon. He said he had received three to four tickets in the five years he has skated at Wescoe. His tickets have ranged from $35 to $75, he said.

Thrasher skateboarding magazine held a contest, King of the Road, in August 2003. Four hand-picked teams of professional skaters traveled to skate sites across the country and earned points by conquering skateboarding challenges. Among those skate sites were the Wescoe staircases, which Thrasher referred to as the Dungeon of Stoke. Team Tumyeto performed tricks, such as salad grinds and monster back lips, at Wescoe.

Since the construction of the Lawrence Skate Park in 1998, skating on public property has decreased, said Mike Wilden, city manager. In 1987, the city passed an ordinance prohibiting skateboarding on downtown sidewalks.
"The main complaint downtown is that people get bowled over." Wilden said.
The sidewalks are not wide enough to accommodate skaters and pedestrians, he said.

While skateboarders don't have to worry about tickets, the park has sub-par ramps and already has too many cracks from skateboards, Herrera said.

Phillip Vocasek likes knowing people's secrets. It's why when he was younger he skipped church to explore neighborhood back alleys.
"The fronts of houses are always kept nice," he said. "But in the back you can see the dirty unkempt side of people."
It's why when he worked at a video rental store in high school, he'd look to see who had rented what movie.

He adapted the script from Harold Jaffe's book Sex for the Millenium, a collection of short stories about deviant sexual behavior.

"It got under my skin, and I needed to do it to get it out of my brain," he said. "I couldn't let it go."
When he read Jaffe's book three years ago, he instantly knew he would eventually create a theater production from it. The graphic stories of blood, sex, violence, humor and perversity in Jaffe's book intrigued Vocasek.
Bolan, said Vocasek's excitement and energy for the show rubs off on everyone involved with the project.
"I can tell that sometimes the rehearsal for this show is the best part of his day," said Bolan, Manhattan junior.
Vocasek wrote Essiex to include a tone that crosses several emotions from sensual to sexual and from funny to scary.
Vocasek designed workshops to test the material with his cast. For one of the first rehearsals, he had the cast spend 30 minutes making sex noises.
"The reaction should go from laughing to thinking nobody should be watching or doing this ever," he said.

People who know him might be surprised that someone with his friendly personality could produce a such a disturbing show, Vocasek said.

"I'm sure people will look at me differently a few days after the show," he said.
Vocasek said he hoped his show would get under people's skin much like Jaffe's stories gnawed at him. He expects surprise, but enjoys the controversy. He said he hoped at least one shocked person walked out in the middle of the show. Most of all he wants to explore the secret corners of the everyone's back alleys and sexual lives.

Ocean 'icon' faces troubling future
Bleaching, brought on by global warming, threatens coral reefs
By Becca Evanhoe
eevanhoe@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Coral reefs are a Mardi Gras of colors, admired by snorkelers, aquarium-lovers, and Finding Nemo fans alike. But for the past six years, coral reefs around the world have been turning into stark white, pale skeletons of what they once were.
This process, called "bleaching," was just one of many reasons that University of Kansas researcher Robert Buddemeier said he believed the world's reefs were in trouble.
"Reefs are becoming the same icon that rainforests once were; there are lots of precious resources and natural habitat being destroyed," said Buddemeier, senior scientist at the Kansas Geological Survey.
Buddemeier and his team said that unlike damage to the rainforests, reef damage such as bleaching was a direct result of global warming. According to its report, published last month by the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, some reef damage is resulting in economic and environmental impact for ocean critters and mankind alike.
Buddemeier, Joan A. Kleypas of the National Center for Atmospheric Research and Richard B. Aronson of Dauphin Island Sea Lab collaborated on their report for the Pew Center, a non-profit, non-partisan organization that tracks global climate change and its implications. Over the past year, the team read hundreds of peer-reviewed articles, and combined their findings with own personal experiences as researchers to analyze the current reef situation.
"What we're talking about here is one of the scarier things that's going on. These major changes all over the world's oceans really say that it's not just theory."
Robert Buddemeier University of Kansas researcher
They've concluded that reef damage was occurring in several different ways: global warming causes bleaching, prevents corals from growing back at a normal rate and makes coral more susceptible to diseases. All of these effects combine with damage being done locally by humans, illustrating a major point of the report: climate change reinforces other types of damage, multiplying both effects.
Bleaching is perhaps the most dramatic change. Corals are made up of tiny animals called polyps that are connected like apartments in a building. Reefbuilding corals also have microscopic plants called algae living in their cells — the "rooms" of the apartment building.
apara "When you look at beautiful colors of a coral reef, you're mostly seeing the pigments of the algae living inside the corals," Buddemeier said.
When the waters surrounding the reefs change in temperature, the change unbalances coral-algae interactions, and the algae and the color move out.
"You're left with a transparent piece of tissue on top of a skeleton made of calcium carbonate," he said — the same stuff chalk is made of.
Bleaching can kill massive amounts of coral. In addition, global warming makes it more difficult for the corals to rebuild themselves.
Global warming is most commonly attributed to increased amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, in the air. More carbon dioxide in the air means that there's more carbon dioxide dissolved in water, which makes it more acidic.
This is problematic for the corals, which make their "skeletons" out of a specific kind of calcium carbonate, called aragonite. When water is more acidic, calcium compounds dissolve more quickly. The same thing happens when you put a piece of chalk in vinegar, an acid; it bubbles and eats away the chalk. More acidity in seawater makes it harder to build up aragonite skeletons — dangerous for corals.
corals.
With weakened systems and stress from warmer temperatures, coral are more susceptible to diseases in the same way that stress during finals week weakens a college student's immune system.
Recent estimates suggest that 25 percent of reefs today are already damaged by direct human actions alone.
Further damage to the reefs could have tremendous economic impact. A recent estimate put the world's reef's value at $30 billion in net economic benefits.
Some contend that coral reef damage isn't the only indicator that global warming is happening.
However, the analysis of Buddemeier's team may just be another point of debate in the global warming discussion.
"There's no question that there's warming, and no question that there's increased carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere," Steeples said. "One can argue whether the cause and effect is there or not, "said Don Steeples, courtesy professor of physics and astronomy and vice provost.
provises.
Lee Gerhard, principle ecologist at the Kansas Geological Survey, agreed that reef damage was a serious issue, but he said he wouldn't jump to the conclusion the global warming as the cause.
Reef degradation seems to occur every few hundred or thousand years, but Gerhard said global warming probably wasn't the only explanation. Rather, he thinks the die-off of reef and marine animals is more likely due to pathogens.
to pathogen.
"It's very easy to take bandwagon science — it's popular so you run with it and make everything very simple," Gerhard said.
"But natural systems are very complex."
Gerhard and Buddemeier agreed that reef damage was an issue of concern. Reefs act as incubators for a variety of ocean life. In addition, reefs act as barriers that protect coastlines from erosion. If these reefs disappear, coastlines can shrink, too.
"What we're talking about here is one of the scarier things that's going on. These major changes all over the world's oceans really say that it's not just theory," Buddemeier said. "This is pretty serious."

said he was confident in his cast and said it would be exciting to finally see the culmination of all of its hard work.
"As a director, just putting life into our ideas and seeing them go from paper to actual action is pretty cool," Barnicle said.
Megan Randall, executive producer of Rock Chalk, said one of her favorite aspects of the show was that it demonstrated the impact that college students could have on their local community. The Topeka senior said that in addition to the money the show would raise for the United Way, chapter members also participated in community service within Douglas County as part of their efforts.
"I think the community service aspect is something that gets completely overlooked," Randall said. "This is just one week of a whole year of people's hard work."
Rock Chalk is truly a year-round process, Randali said. Sororites and fraternities began to pair up for this year's production just two or three weeks after last year's show ended.
The participating teams were then chosen last November after completing interviews with a panel of judges comprised of Rock Chalk alumni and individuals with a background in theater or music, Randall said. Even groups that aren't in the show contribute to the community service aspect of Rock Chalk, she said.
"We even have scholarship halls that participate, even though they may not have even tried out for Rock Chalk," Randall said.
Randall said the show had traditionally featured fraternities and sororities, but any living organization recognized by the University was eligible to participate.

Homesteaders settle in rural Kansas
The Associated Press
MARQUETTE — Without the promise of free land, Dean and Jennifer Krehbiel probably wouldn't have thought about building a home in this small rural town.
But the building lot was there for the asking, thanks to an idea for repopulating rural towns that borrows from the homesteading days of the 1800s when settlers by the scores came to the Great Plains with the promise of free land.

"It was enough of a bonus to allow us to look at the option of building. It sure caught our interest," said Dean Krehbiel, who was looking for a small town near his work 30 miles east in Salina.
Moving from Butler County
near the Wichita area, the family is where they want to be, and their two children are going to the local grade school. It makes Marquette mayor Steve Piper a happy man.
major steer "In a small community, you have to keep the school system. Every child you bring in is more money for the schools. The schools are the backbone of the community," said Piper, who's a third generation grocer in this town of about 600 people.
Many Great Plains towns are struggling to stay alive in the face of dwindling population and a diminishing tax base. Young people leave, old people die and there's little to attract newcomers. Storefronts slowly become rusting, rotting ghosts.
Marquette is among at least 10
Kansas communities offering free land to attract residents to boost school enrollment and fatten the tax base. Most started in the past year or two so it's too soon to measure long-term success.
Success,however,depends on what else they can offer.
else they can offer.
"If the town doesn't have much to offer in the first place — pretty much the definition of a declining town — this approach is unlikely to make any difference. It sounds like a desperation move: 'Please, pretty please come live in our town,' said Frank Popper, Rutgers University urban studies professor.
Popper, who spent years studying Plains population decline, said similar programs have been tried in North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota.
"But I haven't heard that there have been many takers or noticeable results," Popper said.
able results, Popper said. Carol Gould, director of the Kansas Center for Rural Initiatives at Kansas State University, said a town also had to offer jobs locally or nearby, along with electricity, water, sewers and high-speed Internet access.
speed limit
Marquette has a couple of things other rural towns don't. It's less than an hour's drive from three large cities — Salina, Hutchinson and Wichita.
"We have tried bringing jobs to this town, but you might as well bang your head against a brick wall," Piper said. "We decided it was better to bring in the families and let them work in the surrounding communities."
Sniper's accomplice gets life in prison
The Associated Press
CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Lee Boyd Malvo, the man who teamed up with John Allen Muhammad to terrorize the Washington area in a sniper spree that left 10 people dead, was formally sentenced yesterday to life in prison without parole.
in prison without parole. Malvo, 19, was sentenced a day after Muhammad was given the death penalty by a judge in nearby Prince William County. The judge in Muhammad's case could have reduced the sentence to life in prison, but in Malvo's case, the judge had no other option than life without parole.

Malvo was 17 when he killed FBI analyst Linda Franklin, 47, outside a Falls Church Home Depot store.

killing of Franklin. He said the trial could take place by the end of the summer.

U.N. official to aid Haitian government
The Associated Press
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti Gerard Latortue, a former U.N. official chosen to lead Haiti out of political turmoil, returned from the United States yesterday to begin the arduous task of building a government. Loyalists of the former president said they wouldn't accept him.
n't accept him.
His arrival came as the U.S. military announced an escalation in its mission in the Caribbean nation, promising Marines will move quickly to stop Haitian against-Haitian violence.
against-Thailand History Once critical of ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide,
Latortue has said his first priority will be to unite a population divided between those who oppose the former leader and supporters who want to see him returned to power.
Aristide fled Feb. 29 amid international pressure to step down and a bloody rebellion that left more than 300 dead. The once popular slum priest, elected on promises to champion the poor, lost support as Haitians accused his government of corruption and attacks against his political opponents.
In the Central African Republic, Aristide still maintained he was the legitimate leader of Haiti
and that U.S. officials forced him from office. Yesterday, his lawyers said they were preparing cases accusing authorities in the United States and France of abducting him and forcing him into exile.
U. S. officials have denied they forced Aristide from office, saying they helped him escape Haiti with his life as rebels advanced on the capital.
Many Aristide supporters were angry over Tuesday's decision by the U.S.-backed advisory council to name Lautortue prime minister.
The 69-year-old Latortue is a former foreign minister and spent part of his career with the U.N Industrial Development Organi
ation in Africa. He had also worked as an international business consultant in Miami.

CROSSWORD: Challenge lures students
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The New York Times crossword. She said clues such as "John's Yoko" and "wind dir." are often repeated.
Whittier agreed that the crossword was not difficult. Whittier said he usually got 90 percent of the puzzle completed.
the Kansas gets its crossword puzzle from Knight Ridder Newspapers—the same puzzle used in The Kansas City Star and many other daily newspapers. The puzzle generally follows the trend of being early in the week, progressing toward a more difficult puzzle by Friday.
The placement of the crossword is among the controversies encountered when including the puzzle in the paper, said Jeff Browne, Rocky Mountain College newsroom adviser.
"If it's in the bottom of the page towards the center,it's easier to fold and keep hidden," Browne said.
The Collegian, the student newspaper of Colorado State University, includes a crossword.
Browne said many of the same crossword complaints arose at Colorado State as did here, such as whether the puzzle is too hard or too easy, too big or too small, and its placement in the paper.
Browne said CSU students were as interested in the puzzle as anything else in the paper, and
perhaps more than the news itself.
Yesterday's Collegian featured a front page story about a possible 40 percent increase in tuition, but Browne said he would guess most students probably looked at page 13 for the crossword instead.
Clifton Pye, KU professor of linguistics, said people were easily drawn to the crossword because of its entertaining word puzzle format.
"It's a problem that has a neat solution to it, like other puzzles and various card tricks," Pye said.
Pye said that some studies have even shown that doing crosswords taps into deeper thinking and has shown a link to preventing Alzheimer's Disease. The key to crossword success is having a larger vocabulary, Pye said.
Because of the following the crossword gets,it is an easy decision for any newspaper to include it.
Kansan general manager and news adviser Malcolm Gibson said newspapers traditionally included crosswords as another offering to readers.
The nature of newspapers is that only a small number of readers look at each segment, such as the sports or comics pages. Even front page stories are not read by the majority of readers, Gibson said.
"Newspapers put a smorgasbord in front of you, and readers pick from what they have in front of them. Crosswords are part of the smorgasbord." Gibson said. "People want a mixture of things."
Gibson said he actually liked when students showed interest in the puzzle because it got them thinking about and using words. He said he didn't worry so much about students working on them in class and was incredulous about professors who complain about the puzzles.
"My response to that professor is, make your lecture more compelling," Gibson said.
Browne agreed that the responsibility of keeping students focused on the lecture rather than the crossword rests upon the professor.
Brown said he would blame himself if he lectured "in a fatigued manner" (clue for 44-across) and caused students to "tirely" (solution for 44-across) look at crosswords instead.
Despite the distraction that the crossword might be for either students or professors, the Kansan crossword isn't likely to go anytime soon.
"Newspapers serve so many different purposes to so many different people," Browne said. "It's another way to reach out to another market."

DROPPED: Budget priorities cause cuts

music programs, said Katy Buck, facilitator of health services for Lawrence schools.
Buch said that in times of tight budgets, schools have to prioritize their spending. The teachers first need their students to do well on standardized tests in reading, writing and arithmetic, she said.
Physical education plays a role in elementary schools, though, Buck said.
"They need exercise," Buck said. "It helps them think better."

Parents also share the responsibility to teach their children good physical education by decreasing the amount of time spent watching television, she said.
Not all Lawrence schools face
cuts. Nilhas said he didn't have any plans to cut back on spending in physical education programs at Lawrence High School. The school employs three physical education teachers.
Though he declined to comment on the School of Education's program cut, he said it was a shame to see it go.
"I hate to see any program that benefits students that's cut, but I am sure they have their reasons," Nilhas said.

Kerry slams 'lying' Republicans, courts endorsement from Dean
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry called for deeper tax cuts for the middle class than proposed by President Bush yesterday and described his Republican critics as a crooked, lying group.
After urging labor leaders to support his campaign to oust the president, Kerry met with one-time rival Howard Dean to discuss an endorsement and what role the former Vermont governor might play in his campaign.
After the 45-minute meeting, officials close to the talks said Dean will endorse Kerry, with only timing in question. The officials said the best time might be March 25, when the presidential candidates join former Presidents Clinton and Carter for a Democratic Party fund-raiser.
Kerry was scheduled to meet with another key rival, John Edwards, today.
"I will work closely with John Kerry to make sure we beat George Bush in November and turn our country around," Dean said in a statement.
Anticipating their meeting, the Bush campaign issued "Howard Dean's Greatest Hits on John Kerry," a 10-item recounting of Dean criticism of his rival for the nomination.
Earlier yesterday in Chicago, Kerry toughened his comments about his GOP critics after a supporter urged him to take on Bush. "Let me tell you, we've just begun to fight," Kerry said. "We're going to keep pounding. These guys are the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen. It's scary."
AMENDMENT: Senate debates gay marriage ban
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
constitutional amendment on the grounds of a university code.
"Do you honestly think George Bush would open this letter and say, 'Well shoot, the KU Student Senate doesn't agree with this amendment based on it's code of rights and responsibilities?'" Brainard said.
Longpine said it was important to stand behind University code, even if Student Senate didn't have much influence on a gay marriage amendment.
Schafar said it was important for Senate to support of gays and lesbians at the University.
"I admit that it's beyond our direct power, but I still think we have a responsibility to fight," Longpine said. "This is something we need to look at because it directly relates to the University code."
"It's an issue that directly affects a lot of students, especially older students who want to get married," Schafer said.
The Federal Marriage Amendment was introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives by Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R-Colo.) on May 21, 2003.
Since then, gay marriage advocates have had a number of victories, including gay marriages in San Francisco and a Massachusetts Supreme Court ruling that stated it would be unconstitutional to deny gay couples anything less than full, equal marriage rights.
President Bush responded on Feb.24 with a speech in favor of the amendment banning gay marriage.
For the ban on gay marriage to become a reality it must pass both houses of Congress by a two-thirds majority vote. It then must be ratified by at least three-fourths of the state legislatures.
Longpine encouraged senators to put aside their personal feelings on gay marriage and support the university code.
But the resolution had broad support and passed both the University Affairs Committee and the Student Rights Committee.
EVERY WEEK THE KANSAN
PROFILES A STUDENT SENATOR
Jessica Wicks, University Affairs committee member, spoke against the resolution. She said that Longpine and Schafer hadn't done enough research to determine that the resolution really reflected the opinions of the student body.

What she would be doing on Wednesday night if she wasn't Senate meetings. Studying, well, probably drinking wine and watching bad reality TV with her roommates.

This isn't the first time Senate has discussed national political issues. Last October a resolution to oppose unjust military action in Iraq was brought to the University Affairs committee but failed by a vote of 21-4.

Big 12 contenders line up
By Mike Norris

Kansan sportswriter
Kansas won't play until Friday, when it faces the winner of Texas A&M and Missouri game, but the Big 12 Tournament tips off today in Dallas. The University Daily Kansan sportswriter and basketball beat writer Mike Norris breaks down the odds for victory for each team in the
Big 12 Conference. TOMORROW: A preview of Kansas' second round game and a break down of their opponent.
1 Oklahoma State — Odds to win: 4-1. At the start of the season these odds seemed more like 50-1. But coach Eddie Sutton has taken advantage of a talented backcourt of senior Tony Allen, the Big 12 coaches' Player of the Year, and junior Baylor transfer John
Lucas. Along with a strong supporting cast, the Cowboys have surprised nearly everyone, capturing the Big 12's regular season title. As the tournament's top seed, Oklahoma State likely won't be challenged until the final game where a match-up with Kansas or Texas is possible.
2 Texas -- Odds to win: 3-1. The only thing that separates the Longhorns from OSU is a tough loss in
Stillwater, Okla., and a shocking loss to Kansas State in Manhattan. Texas is deeper than any team in the conference, and should have no problem getting to the championship game. It could be upset by Kansas in the third round, but don't count on it. Kansas has a tough second-round matchup looming, and the Longhorns handled an inspired Jayhawk squad in Austin earlier this season. The depth and senior leadership could be enough to
defeat OSU on a neutral court.
3 Kansas — Odds to win: 8-1. The media's pick to win the regular season title, the Jayhawks disappointed some in falling to number three. But Kansas is playing well as of late, and ended its road woes with an exciting victory against Missouri in Columbia. If forward Wayne Simien continues to play

Senior Leo Bookman set the Big 12 Conference record in the 200-meter dash earlier this season. He will attempt to repeat as NCAA Indoor champion May 12-13 in Fayetteville, Ark., before turning his attention to training for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece.
Sprinter eyes run at Olympics
By Michael Phillips mphillips@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Around this time last year, Leo Bookman shocked the track world by winning the 200-meter dash at NCAA Indoor Championships.
After winning last year's competition, and running the best time in the nation earlier this season, Bookman has estab
lished himself as one of the best sprinters in the United States. Instead of being an relatively unproven competitor at the NCAA Championships this year, Bookman is the favorite.
If there's pressure that comes with being the favorite, Bookman's not feeling it.
"It's not really pressure, just motivation." he said, "knowing that everyone's coming to get you, trying to take what's
yours. It just makes you run that much faster."
While defending his championship is important, Bookman has set lofter goals.
During the outdoor season, Bookman plans on redshirting to focus his training on qualifying for, and competing in, the Olympic Games this summer in Athens, Greece.

Senator demands baseball drug tests
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain told the Major League Baseball Players' Association yesterday that Congress will step in unless the union agrees to toughen the sport's steroid-testing rules.
The Senate Commerce Committee chairman challenged union head Donald Fehr to accept a far more stringent drug-testing policy, similar to the NFLs. Fehr said he couldn't agree to changes in the collective bargaining agreement.
collective bargaining group
"Your failure to commit to addressing this issue straight on and immediately will motivate this committee to search for legislative remedies," warned McCain, an Arizona Republican.
"I don't know what they are. But I can tell you, and the players you represent, the status quo is not acceptable. And we will have to act in some way unless the major league players' union acts in the affirmative and rapid fashion."
Home runs have been hit at a record pace in the past decade, and players have gotten larger and stronger. Former MVPs Jose Canseco and Ken Caminiti have said the use of steroids was widespread.
In his State of the Union address, President Bush appealed to sports leagues and athletes to end the use of performance-enhancing drugs. The White House is expected today to endorse legislation criminalizing the use of certain performance-enhancing drugs that are available without prescriptions.
The San Francisco Chronicle, quoting information it said was provided to federal investigators, reported last week that steroids were given to Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield. Bonds, Giambi and Sheffield have denied using steroids.
That report came out of a grand jury investigation of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative in San Francisco. Two company executives, along with Bonds' personal trainer and a track coach, were charged with illegally supplying steroids to athletes last month.
the suspicion that some of the game's greats are using steroids has loomed over spring training, prompting McCain to schedule a hearing and invite Fehr, baseball commissioner Bud Selig, NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue and NFL players' union chief Gene Upshaw.
Baseball's current labor contract, agreed to in 2002, called for anonymous drug tests last year. Five to seven percent of those tests came back positive for steroids, a level which triggered testing with penalties this year.
But the program has been criticized because players are tested only twice each season. Both tests are given within
"I realize that we have work to do. We need more frequent and year-round testing of players."

Baseball commissioner
a period of a week and the penalties are far weaker than those in Olympic sports.
"I believe that the program that we instituted has had some effect," Fehr said.
McCain disagreed, saying baseball has a "legitimacy problem" because of questions about steroid use and the public's perception that cheaters don't get caught by the testing program.
Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) criticized the union for resisting stronger testing.
"The union's wrong here," he said.
Under baseball's policy, a player has to fail five tests before facing a one-year suspension. The NFL has a year-round random testing program for players and imposes immediate suspensions on those who test positive.
Selig said baseball owners want stronger testing.

"I realize that we have work to do."
Selig said. "We need more frequent and year-round testing of players. We need immediate penalties for those caught using illegal substances."
using illegal substances. Selig said he hopes to make the sport's policy for players with minor league contracts apply to those with major league contracts: a year-round testing plan with an immediate 15-game suspension for a first violation.
first violation. McCain pointed to Tagliabue and Upshaw as an example of the kind of collaboration he wants baseball to adopt. Tagliabue and Upshaw agreed that a strong policy is in the best interests of the NFL and its players.
players privately.
Selig said baseball supports legislation jointly sponsored by Biden and Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utha) that would ban over-the-counter sales of androstedione — a steroidlike supplement that Mark McGwire used in 1998, when he broke the single-season home run mark — and the newly detected steroid THG.
Fehr said that baseball players made a "concession" when they agreed to the current testing program. The union opposes random testing on grounds it invades players' privacy, he said.
Fehr didn't take a position on the legislation, but he said it would be wrong to ban players from taking substances that are legal.

BIG12: Tournament begins Thursday in Dallas
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
well, and if the Jayhawks find a way to defend the three, it's not impossible for them to win. It could be a very tough three days with victories against Missouri, Texas and OSU that are likely necessary in order to capture the title. If any of those teams are upset it could clear a path for Kansas.
4 Colorado — Odds to win:
20-1. The Buffaloes finished well down the stretch, winning five of six Big 12 games. But their best victory was at home against a struggling Texas Tech squad. Center David Harrison has to play well all tournament. He can't let his temper get to him as he has done many times before, notably in Lawrence against Kansas. If he puts up numbers like he averaged during the regular season — 17 points and nine rebounds a game — Colorado
could surprise tournament watchers.
5 Texas Tech — Odds to win: 18-1. Coach Bobby Knight knows how to win, but do his players? None of his Red Raiders have seen success in an NCAA Tournament, and getting blown out in the Big 12 Tournament seems commonplace for Texas Tech. A matchup against Colorado is a winnable game, but the problem is that conference heavyweight OSU will be right around the corner.
6 Missouri — Odds to win:
12-1. Despite being the sixth seed, the Tigers have a chance to win the tournament. The Big 12 coaches picked them to win the regular season title, which didn't happen. But with a strong bench, and a commanding performance by center Arthur Johnson in the season finale
against Kansas, the Tigers are looking to upset someone. Coach Quin Snyder is out to prove the early season accolades weren't a fluke, and he has the talent to do it.
7 Oklahoma — Odds to win: 25-1. The Sooners had a chance to pull off some upsets in the tournament and perhaps sneak into the NCAA tournament, but that was before senior center Jabahri Brown, the team's leading rebounder, was suspended for the rest of the season for allegedly having a firearm and marijuana in his house. Center Kevin Bookout, who was the leading rebounder before he got hurt, played in only 13 games and is out for the season. With senior Jason Detrick as their leading scorer at 11.4 points per game, it's a good thing the Sooners only give up an average of 62 points per contest.
8 Iowa State — Odds to win:
35-1. If the Cloncles were playing at home the odds would be drastically different. They went 15-1 in Ames, with victories against Kansas and Texas. But they also lost in Waco, Texas to the lowly Baylor. The Big 12 Tournament is in Texas — not a good sign for the Cylcones. Senior guard Jake Sullivan and Big 12 Freshman of the Year candidate Curtis Stinson can heat up during stretches, but it likely won't be enough to win the tournament.

9 Kansas State—Odds to win: 45-1. K-State finished strong with a home victory against Texas, but their best game other than that was actually a loss — by one point, at home — to OSU. The Wildcats didn't have any other quality conference victories, and shouldn't pose a threat in the tournament. Freshman Jeremiah Massey has been their lone bright spot averaging 15 points and eight rebounds, but not even his play will likely be enough to upset
10 Nebraska — Odds to win:
30-1. The Cornhuskers defeated Missouri, Kansas, Texas Tech and Arizona State but also lost to Creighton and K-State twice.
Forward Brian Conklin led the conference in three-point shooting at .568 percent, and the Huskers are led by Andrew Drevo and Kansas City native Nate Johnson. If the team that beat Kansas and Texas Tech shows up, Nebraska could surprise. If the team that lost to K-State shows up, it will not.
11 Texas A & M — Odds to win: 100-1. Truly the worst team in the conference. At 0-16, they lost three more games than Baylor, which has only five scholarship players. While Nebraska, ISU and K-State are close in seeds and talent, the Aggies are so far behind them that their football team almost outscores the basketball team. A & M's Andy Slocum is tied with Simien for second in the conference in
Baylor — Odds to win: Not good. In fact it's impossible. The Bears put themselves on probation after last summer's events, keeping them out of tournament play. But coach Scott Drew and his team would have been the 11 seed, after finishing the season 3-13 in the Big 12. The team will wait next year to find out if the NCAA throws any more probation its way. For now, Drew will have to cheer on his dad, Homer Drew, the coach of NCAA Tournament-bound Valparaiso.
Our take: On Sunday Texas will be crowned tournament champs with a close victory against OSU. Victory is possible for Kansas, but it will have to continue its hot play and probably defeat Missouri, Texas and Oklahoma State on the way. That will be no easy task.
SPRINTER: Bookman enters meet as favorite
rebounding, but that will prove to mean nothing once the tournament starts.

Bookman plans to sit-out the outdoor track season to concentrate on qualifying for the Summer Olympics
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
To qualify for the Olympics, Bookman will have to finish in the top three out of all American sprinters in the events he enters
at the Olympic Trials July 18 in Sacramento, Calif. The trials will end with Bookman's primary event, the 200-meter dash.
Although the competition is
more than four months away, the spinner's coaches agree with his decision to skip the outdoor season. By staying out of competition in the spring, Bookman and his coaches think he will be able to peak physically at the right time.
The Olympics were a childhood goal for Bookman. When he was younger, he competed in the 100-meter dash and the long jump.
jump.
"Everybody on the team would call me the little Carl Lewis," Bookman said, refering to the sprinting legend whose specialties were the 100-meter dash and long jumped. "And when I was growing up, he was my idol."
Bookman shares a common trait with Olympians such as Lewis: a strong work ethic. As this season has progressed,
Bookman's times have improved consistently. The improvement is something Coach Stanley Red-wine attributes to Bookman's hard work.

"Well, I don't think I have to challenge him," Redwine said.
"Leo understands where he is in his preparation to get there."
Bookman shares the same perspective. He said the prospect of continued success fueled his intensity during training.

"As you become better at your event, as you start to run faster times, you get greedy and want to run even faster," he said. "So you want to work harder."
Originally arriving in Lawrence as a football player, Bookman quit the team to focus on track year-round.

Bookman credits his two-a-
day practices during a time as a football player as the foundation of his work ethic and endurance.
Bookman hasn't completely pushed football from his thoughts yet, though.
"Hopefully someday I can go back and play football again," he said.
Bookman's success, talent and work ethic make him a role model on the track team. Redwine said Bookman was a gentleman and that his hard work provided an inspiration to his teammates.
For now, Bookman is concentrating on maintaining his focus. That includes taking time to both relax and get pumped up prior to races. Before he defends his title this weekend, Bookman said he could probably be found listening to rapper 50 Cent.
"50 gets me pumped up, gets me on the edge," he said.

"It's great for me as a coach, it's great for their individual coaches," Redwine said of Bookman and his success. "It's just a good time for KU track."

Testing utilized to reduce steroid use in NCAA
By Joe Bant
jbant@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Steroids have made national headlines lately in the world of professional sports, with allegations against major league baseball stars like Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and Garv Sheffield.
Athletics administrators and NCAA representatives say collegiate sports programs work hard to prevent steroid use, but as with any prevention program, some cases slip through the cracks, and drug use is still a problem in collegiate sports.
Lost in the hype has been the use of steroids in the NCAA.
outreach for the NCAA.
Annually, between 1 and 2 percent of NCAA drug tests come back positive, said Mary Wilfert, assistant director of education
NCAA policies on the matter are strict. It randomly tests athletes at championship events, and one positive drug test results in a year-long suspension. A second brings the potential of a permanent ban. Testing for football and track and field is even stricter, with year-round testing rather than just at championship events.
Since the institution of yearround testing, that figure has dropped to 3 percent.
The policy of year-round testing for football players began in 1990 after a 1989 survey revealed that 9.7 percent of the responding college football players admitted to the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Wilfert said the NCAA was looking to include other sports in the year-round testing program.
The Big 12 Conference also tests athletes for drugs with its own program.
"To think that there's no drug abuse in college athletics would be pretty foolish," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs at the University of Kansas. "It would be to say there's no drug abuse in any other aspect of our society."
Individual schools are not required by the NCAA to maintain separate drug testing programs, but the University does. These individual programs do not report to the NCAA and are subject to different rules and standards of discipline.
The random tests involve a
Mark Cairns, athletic trainer at the University, said there were two ways that the University conducted its tests; randomly and voluntarily.
selection of players from every sports team being tested throughout the year. The voluntary tests are for players who have drug problems and ask to be tested.
At the University marijuana was the most common drug found and steroid use was relatively uncommon Cairns said.
The University's disciplinary policy for positive tests differs from the NCAA's. It requires counseling for the first offense, suspension for the second offense and expulsion for the third offense. There is an appeals process for athletes who think they've been punished unfairly.
Cairns said players weren't punished for voluntary participation because they were expressing an active desire to rehabilitate.
He thought other universities had problems with steroids, but
would not offer names.
"There are some institutions we've known that have probably used performance-enhancing drugs for years," Cairns said.
He said players for these universities seem to lose body mass around championship time when the NCAA tests.
Cairns said the stricter NCAA rules had reduced the problems, but they were still there.
Senior baseball player Ryan Baty said the drug testing policies of college athletics were good, but he wished there was more education about the harmful effects of steroid use.
"You hear rumors, but nobody knows exactly what it does to your body," Baty said. "All we know as a team is it's illegal."

San Francisco Giants left fielder Bany Bonds walked back from the batting cage during his first day of spring training in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Feb. 23. Accusations of steroid use by professional athletes, such as allegations surrounding Bonds, have raised questions about what is being done at the collegiate level to prevent it.

'The Office'actor to guest star on spy drama'Alias'
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Ricky Gervais made TV viewers guffaw over The Office. He had Hollywood giggling when he accepted Golden Globe honors for his sitcom as casually as if he was picking up groceries.
On the set of Alias recently, it was Gervais the comedian and small-scale sitcom star laughing at the oh-so-serious, big-budget American spy drama production.
Gervais guest stars as a bad-guy bomb expert in Sunday's episode, airing 8 p.m. on ABC.
"It's so like the opposite to *The Office*. It's $2 million an episode as opposed to $200,000 an episode. There's special effects."

"All that pressure, it's like being in school when you can't laugh in assembly. It's all so expensive and all so important that I think it's the child in me," he said.
sack.
The result: "I was laughing at all the serious faces. Every time they looked at me in a serious way, I died laughing," he said of the cast that includes Jennifer Garner and Victor Garber.
The unlikely scenario was the result of Alias creator J.J. Abrams' admiration for The Office. Abrams contacted him and sent tapes to Gervais in London, who liked what he saw and agreed to appear.

"It's the first thing I've done
that I didn't write myself, so it was sort of a baptism of fire," he said of his role as bomb pro Daniel Ryan. (As befitting an espionage series, further details were withheld by Gervais and ABC.)

Three games to kick off Big 12 Tournament today
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Oklahoma State is small but quick, athletic but not deep. Cowboys coach Eddie Sutton has another word to describe his club: mature.
Its ability to grow up fast has enabled a group featuring three transfers to blossom into the Big 12 Conference regular-season champions and favorites going into the conference tournament.
"We've had teams that were more talented, but I think they're more mature in their approach to the game," Sutton said yesterday. "There's no doubt the chemistry of the ball-club is as good as any I've had since I've been here."
The Big 12 tournament begins today with three first- round games: Iowa State vs. Kansas State, Oklahoma vs.
Nebraska and Missouri vs.
Texas A&M.
Seventh-ranked Oklahoma State, No. 11 Texas, No. 18 Kansas, Colorado and Texas Tech all have byes into the second round tomorrow.
Only the top four seeds usually get to skip the first round, but Baylor's self-imposed post-season ban for violations under deposed coach Dave Bliss made way for one more. It ended up being Bob Knight's Red Raiders.
Raiders. "I've never spent any time worrying about what could've been or might've been," Knight said. "There it is. Let's take it and go from there."
Sutton had a similar attitude when the season began.
While he liked its potential, he wondered how his trio of newcomers—pointguard John Lucas III, Baylor; power forward Joey Graham, Central Florida; and
shooting guard Daniel Bobik BYU — would blend with holdover stars Tony Allen and Ivan McFarlin.
The Cowboys' soft inside play in a loss by BYU in the fifth game became the turning point. Sutton brought football gear to the next practice, helping develop a toughness that's become their hallmark, even though their tallest player is 6-foot-9.
"They got a big shock when we went into Salt Lake City and BYU beat us." Sutton said. "They came back and became very dedicated. They listened to the coaches and they continued to get better. That's a sign of maturity."
The Cowboys lost only twice more, going 24-3 and 14-2 in conference play. Having won their first outright conference title since 1965, they're going after their first conference tournament championship since 1995.
Oklahoma State hopes to become the first regular-season champion to win the postseason tournament since Iowa State in 2000.
Even if it happens, the Cowboys are a long shot to get a No.1 seed in the NCAA tournament. They're practically a lock for a No.2.
Other rewards for this surprising season already have arrived. Sutton was named coach of the year by The Associated Press, while Lucas and Tony Allen were both honored as players of the year — Lucas by the AP, Allen by league coaches.
"We wouldn't be where we are today without both of them," Sutton said.
The guard-led Cowboys average 79 points per game and allow just 63. They lead the conference in shooting percentage (51.4 percent), mostly because of their
retentious drives to the basket. They're also the league's second-most accurate 3-point shooters at 38.7 percent.
The only Big 12 team that scores more is second-seeded Texas, but the Longhorns (21-6) have lost two straight for the first time this season. Another loss tomorrow could hurt their NCAA seeding because they might be considered a team that's skidding into the tournament.
Texas' problems began at Oklahoma State in a game that determined the top seed in this tournament. The stumbling continued with a 58-48 loss in a relatively meaningless game at Kansas State. It was by far the Longhorns' fewest points this season.
"If we rebound like we have the last couple games,we probably won't win any more games," Texas coach Rick
Barnes said. "We also need to get to the free throw line more."
Oklahoma has won the last three Big 12 tournaments, but it would be a huge upset if the Sooners do it again.
seventh-seeded OU (18-9) has just eight scholarship players following the suspension of Jabahir Brown, who is facing misdemeanor drug possession charges. Two freshmen and a sophomore start, and two more freshmen are top reserves.
The Sooners probably need a win or two to keep alive their streak of nine straight NCAA appearances.
Coach Kelvin Sampson's personal streak is at 10, counting one at Washington State.

GOLF: Junior wins individual title
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
the tournament's individual title, shooting a three-round total of 210 and finishing six strokes under par.
A final round 66, which tied a tournament record, was the highlight of Ward's tournament. Ward's victory at the Louisiana Classic was his first as a collegiate golfer.
"I was very pleased that Kevin got his first career victory against a very tough field in this tournament," coach Randall said.
For the Jayhawks, freshman Tyler Docking and senior Tyler Hall each shot identical three-round totals of 221, five strokes above par. Junior Andrew Price shot a total of 223, seven strokes above par, while freshman Gary Woodland scored a total of 229, 13 strokes above par.
The team's next tournament is March 22-23 in Santa Cruz, Calif., at the 58th Western Intercollegiate at the Pasatiempo Golf Course.

JAYHAWKS: Kansas dominates
Division II Blue Jays dropped to 5-8.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Kansas coach Ritch Price decided to make the game a staff day, using seven pitchers, mostly relief pitchers. The bullpen, which struggled at times over the week end against Wisconsin-Milwaukee, was nearly flawless yesterday, giving up just five hits and one run.
The Jayhawks broke the game open in the bottom of the fourth as the team scored seven runs.
The 'Hawks scored first in the bottom of the second on a sacrifice fly by junior Travis Metcalf to score senior Ryan Baty. The team scored five runs in the inning.
Metcalf blasted his eighth home run of the year deep over the center field wall in the fourth. He had struck out in the bottom of the third and was looking at his at bat in the fourth as a chance for redemption.
He found it on the first pitch he saw in the fourth inning.
Freshman pitcher Sean Land, who is usually used in relief, got his first collegiate start and his second victory of the season. Land
Price said he hoped to move Land into a startingrole later in the season. Land will likely start next Tuesday against Oral Roberts.
was perfect in his two innings of work with two strikeouts.
After the fourth inning Price replaced six of his starters with reserves to give them experience. Junior Mike Bessolo went 2-3 with three RBIs including a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth.
The Kansas faces Arkansas-Little Rock this weekend for a threegame set. Game one is on Friday at 3 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark.

Ike Turner plays with your
rotten sister.
rotten sister
Almost banned from the Replay Lounge for making a hole in the wall, Ike Turner Overdrive will bring its balls-through-the-wall, full throttle rock n' roll to the Spitfire, 1717 W 9th, Kansas City, Mo. ITO describes itself as the third most dangerous band you'll ever hear. In the March 2004 issue of Blender Magazine, it said that Ike Turner Overdrive is a "good" band name. Sharing the stage with ITO are veteran punks Sister Mary Rotten Crotch, best known for it's catchy, anti-rave anthem, "Club a Club Kid." Despite what your parents may think, this show is all ages so bring your little sister.

A paradox in the Granada
Those of you looking for a local music Dave fix might want to check out Tri Point Paradox tonight at the Granad Theatre, 1020 Massachusetts St. If you haven't seen or heard of them, he the gist: several KU students together playing mostly original although they do bust out the rendition of "Gin 'n' Juice" by Dogg every so often, along w other covers. If you have se play before, then no further tion is necessary. The ba around Lawrence fairly often like what you see and hear are good they'll be perform next week or so. Tonight's s and over. Cost is to be anno
3/13 Sat.
Throw Yo Hands Up
Don't be a slacker tonight. Instead, head on down to the Granada Theatre, 1020 Massachusetts St., to see the hometown hip-hop performer Tech N9ne. Tech, who is well-known throughout the KC/Lawrence area for his mind blowing rap lyrics and beats, has decided to make a trip home from Los Angeles to play for his hardcore fans. While in L.A., Tech has been promoting his image by working with producers and some of raps most elite players. His latest album, Absolute Power, released in 2002 has enjoyed its share of successes. Several singles on the album such as, "Imma Tell" and "Slacker" have appeared on BET and MTV 2. Tech will be sharing the stage tonight with Vertigo, a hometown hip-hop meets salsa group who also originated in Kansas City. The show gets under way at 8:00 p.m. General admission tickets cost $18. Those lucky folks who are 21 and older can purchase balcony seats for $30.
3/14 Sun.
Wanna see a play, mate?
If you feel like going down under today, stop by the Crafton-Preyer Theater in Murphy Hall, 1530 Naismith Dr., for a University Theater production of the Australian play Our Country's Good. This Australian play is based from The Playmaker, a novel (not the crappy football show on ESPN) by Thomas Keneally. Its two acts focus on a group of inmates at a Sydney penal colony in 1789. A young lieutenant at the colony directs the inmates in the first play ever performed in Australia to celebrate the King's birthday. The convicts face opposition from guards as they attempt to produce The Recruiting Officer. The show is free and it starts at 2:30 p.m. It is the only afternoon show in the play's six show run (see Jayplay's preview on page 15).
where it's at this week's happenings
3/15 Mon. Drink up, but always use a condiment
Take one down and pass it around. The Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St., has select beers for $1.75 tonight. Choose from a select list of in-house beers on tap. Or, spare the extra change and try Free State's newest brew: Governor Robinson's Lager, made exclusively for Lawrence's 150th anniversary after the Lawrence Sesquicentennial Committee suggested it. Need a snack to soak up the beer? Make sure it needs mustard — this month is Free State's March Mustard Madness. This condiment carnival lets you choose from 66, yes 66, different flavors of mustard to compliment your meal. Thanks to a partnership between Mount Horeb Musteb Museum in Mount Horeb, Wis., and the Free State folks, each entree can be paired an exotic mustard from categories such as spirited (liquored) mustards, garlic mustards or fruit, herb and vegetable mustards.
3/16 Tues. A hamburger joint and pajama party sing-along
Rev up your hot rod and wear your favorite pink poodle skirt because the kids from Rydell High are here to rock 'n' roll. The Lied Center, 1600 Stewart Dr., will be presenting the super-cool '50s musical Grease tonight at 7:30 p.m. Sing along to favorites such as "Summer Nights," "Beauty School Dropout" and "Greased Lightnin." As the fifth-longest running musical in Broadway history, Grease is a favorite among teenage romance stories. Watch as Danny Zuko almost loses his cool and his summer love, Sandy Olsson. Tickets are $18.50 to $21 for KU students. They can be purchased at the Lied Center ticket office, 864-ARTS, or the SUA office in the Kansas Union, 864-SHOW.
3/17 Wed.
Marley's Reggae Mon Straight from Kingston, Jamaica comes Bob Marley's oldest son, Ziggy Marley. With a fresh new sound and a crew of amazing musicians, this event is definitely fit for Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. Whether you dig classic Peter Tosh reggae or modern beat-driven reggae, Ziggy's got the right ingredients in his voice to make you feel right in the heart of Kingston. Joining him on stage will be Michael Franti and Spearhead with their urban hip hop grooves. The event is $25 and for ages 18 and older.

IS BIGGER BETTER?
Is There Anything Special About a LARGER Penis or Breasts?
By Brant Stacy, Jayplay writer
...
photo: Jeff Brandsted
The moment of truth has finally arrived. You've made out with your girlfriend for a half-hour and now you're ready to take the next step. As you fumble to unbutton her blouse you begin to feel her hands creep up your thigh. Suddenly, you both stop. You remember all those e-mails you got about enlarging your penis. You want to kick yourself for not trying them out. She, on the other hand, has just realized she is wearing a padded bra.
This scenario is becoming all too familiar as magazines, e-mails and commercials stress the importance of bigger breasts and penises. But, is bigger really better? Can men and women still have healthy relationships despite their penis and breast size?
The answer is yes, says Beverly Whipple, certified sex educator and sexologist at Rutgers University in Medford, N.J. She says no studies officially prove that a larger penis or breasts improve a relationship, but that honesty, communication and mutual respect matter most. "We need to focus
on people being themselves and disregard these images of beauty society has created," she says. Once couples realize these fundamentals, Whippe says, penis or breast size becomes less of an issue.
But it's hard for couples to look past size when they are constantly bombarded by media that imply size equals satisfaction. Dennis Detweiler, a Lawrence certified sex therapist, says it's tough for people to feel comfortable about their breast or penis size. He says it's sad when people alter
their size just because they are insecure. "People don't realize that the quality of a relationship is much more important than having a large dong or wearing a D-cup bra. Men with a micro-congenital penis, a penis that is smaller than an inch, can have just as gratifying of a relationship as those with a 10-inch penis," he says.
Detweiler says that if you are intent on
upgrading your size, you should do some research and discuss it with your partner. He says most men don't understand that only the external one-third of the vaginal canal contains sensory nerves required for stimulation and orgasm. Men don't need a giant penis to please a woman. He also says many women don't realize that all breasts have the same number of sensory neurons. Therefore, a woman with smaller breasts has a smaller surface area for neurons, which results in greater
sensitivity. If that woman should decide to enlarge her breasts, she can decrease sensitivity, while also putting herself at risk for implant leakage and nerve damage.
Whiple, who conducts neurological physical research, says enlargement procedures are always a concern. "Women who receive implants may find it difficult to conduct mammograms in later life, while men could experience decreased sensation in their penis," she says.
So will you really feel better with a big zucchini or pair of ripe watermelons? No, says Detweiler. He believes having a large penis or breasts is nothing more than a trend, and young people are the ones accepting this trend. He says until people mature, they won't realize size really doesn't matter. "In the end, intimacy, emotional connection and a strong bond will hold a relationship together," he says.

Q
Elizabeth Blasco and Chris Tackett
[Advice you can take home to mother.]
When my boyfriend gives me oral sex, the thought of kissing him right after he's been "down there" really grosses me out. He's great at oral sex, so I'm afraid if I tell him to not kiss me he'll just stop doing it. What should I do?
Jill - Sophomore
A
Elizabeth: Just tell him how much you enjoy kissing him with the exception of right after he gives you oral sex.
Chris: Beggars can't he...well, they can't tell their boyfriends not to kiss them. If you tell him to not kiss you after he gives you oral, he has every right to be pissed. You're lucky he does it at all. Does he let you kiss him after you go downtown? If so, it's not bothering him.
Q
I'm a virgin and have never done anything sexual with a guy. I'm not really sure how to give a blow job and don't want to embarrass myself when I give one for the first time. Any advice?
Susie-Freshman
A
Elizabeth: Treat it like the best Blow Pop, you've ever had! Also you should consider watching some movies to see how the pros do it. Or just tell him that you're new at it and ask him what he likes. Then, just take it from there.
Chris: Thanks to Elizabeth. I don't think I will ever set another Blow Pop again. But from a guy's point of view, all I can say is, no teeth! And you should watch porn.
Q
My boyfriend makes really weird noises when we have sex. It kind of freaks me out. Should I tell him to stop or should I just get used to it?
Taylor Sophomore
A
Ellzabeth: Concentrate on how it feels and not how it sounds. If that doesn't work, you should play some music so that his noises aren't the only sounds you hear.
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: Are you hurting him? That could cause him to make lots of noise. If he's just really enjoying himself, be happy that you can make him feel that good. You could also lie and tell him you're worried your roommate will hear. But, I'm still worried you're hurting him.

Less is more or more is less?
[It depends on who you talk to]
By Guillaume Doane, Jayplay writer
When the door to my apartment swings open, I walk into emptiness. No dog gaits with a wagging tail to welcome my arrival. I come in with no place to hang my coat, no table on which to set my keys. Posters and unopened cardboard boxes congregate on the floors in the living room. I have no couch or dining room table. The one-bedroom apartment that I call home isn't really a home. It's a $405 storage compartment, and my bedroom serves merely as a pit stop. I sleep and then I'm off.
When it comes to living, I apply Mies Vanderohe's minimalist philosophy of "less is more." The less I have to deal with and less time I have to spend at home, the more convenient life is. But apartments and homes can suit different needs. So I set out to find out what others in Lawrence were looking for.
My trip to discover what Lawrence could offer for renters led me through the doors of Jefferson Commons, 2500 W. 31st St. A bright yellow sheet of paper lured my attention, which listed the top 40 reasons to live at Jefferson Commons. They included a pool, Jacuzzi, weight room, tanning bed, furnished apartments and individual leasing. Jefferson Commons is one of two complexes in town that offer each tenants the opportunity to sign individual leases. The other complex that offers it is Legends, 4101 W. 24th Place.

But apartments and homes can suit different needs. So I set out to find what others in Lawrence were looking for.
"The parents love it," says Chrissy Neibarger, resident services manager at Jefferson Commons. "The parents don't have to take responsibility for other kids living in the apartment." Neibarger says individual leasing is effective for people who can't find a place to live but prefer to have roommates. Tenants fill out preference cards for the complex to match them up with people of similar interests. Jefferson Commons also organizes social functions for people to meet and pair up in a desired living situation. Neibarger says individual leasing serves as the most effective recruiting method for students. Ninety-five percent of people living at the complex are students.
Sheila Sudbeck is a "more means more" kind of renter. Sudbeck is living her first year at Jefferson Commons after living her freshman year at the residence halls. The Seneca sophomore says she enjoyed the transition from dorm life to her apartment, especially because of the amenities the complex provides. "If something breaks down you always have a maintenance man," Sudbeck says, alluding to how older establishments in town can't offer this sort of luxury.
While more perks sate the needs of Jefferson Commons' residents, Brad Wheeler, Topeka freshman, would prefer it if Lawrence had fewer apartment complexes. I caught up with Wheeler on the front steps of his home, Hashinger Hall. Wheeler sat on a bench with his legs crossed, holding a cigarette in his right
hand. "I think it's disgustingly typical of American architecture," Wheeler says. "I'd prefer living in an established area." Wheeler's ideal place to live would be a house between Eleventh and Sixteenth Streets and between the University campus and Massachusetts Street. He says he's interested in the historic district of Lawrence and older neighborhoods that have character. As an architecture student, he says a building is not supposed to define the person. The person should define the building. "I'm actually turned off by the amenities," Wheeler says. "I don't want a swimming pool. When the hell are you going to swim in Kansas?"
Corey Brinkerhoff, owner of Brinkerhoff Realtors, says Lawrence developers have built too many apartments. When apartments outnumber renters, a city is considered over-built. This excessive number of apartments means lower rent prices to court potential renters. Brinkerhoff says the expansion of apartments on the west side of town has had adverse effects on other parts of town, especially the neighborhoods bordering the east side of campus, labeled by some as the "student ghetto."
Brinkerhoff says the proliferation of establishments in the west entices private developers to keep up with the changes and upgrade "student ghetto" houses, which is currently happening on the 1300 block of Ohio Street. He says the price of those houses is related to their conditions.
More apartments in Lawrence could also mean lower rent prices at some apartment complexes. Park 25 Apartments, 2401 W. 25th St., charms renters with the "Early Bird Special," a free first month of rent for all units without a washer and dryer. Jefferson Commons offers a similar deal, tempting renters with a $50 deposit.
Lawrence developers present numerous possibilities for renters. Whether it's lavish perks or the natural luxury of simplicity that suit a student's needs, a door will always swing open for someone to walk in and set down their keys. But I still choose to throw mine on the floor.

Margaret Perkins-McGuinness, director of the Off-Campus Living Resource Center, says when people look at apartments or houses, they get nervous about asking too many questions. Don't be, asking questions is the best way to find out what you're getting. Her suggestions:
Ask the landlord if you can talk to previous tenants. Past residents can offer you a better perspective than the landlords, who tend to have their own agenda.
Make sure you know what utilities you are responsible for. Once you know, call the utility companies and ask about the monthly averages for the unit you are looking at.
Visit the place you're interested in twice: once during the day and once at night. Simulate a scenario of walking around the premises to measure your comfort with the place.
When you visit the apartment or house, check every window, door and faucet. Try out everything possible.

GRAND THEFT CABLE
photos illustrations: Jeff Brandsted
People feel the need to watch cable tv, but not all have the funds to support the habit. These people turn to technologies such as descramblers and digital filters to illegally receive cable.
By Cal Creek, Jayplay writer
Between paying for food, beer, clothes, gas, electricity, liquor and a phone bill the average 20-something has little money for entertainment, especially the $38.20 for cable television. This problem leads some people to find a way to cut cable budgets with the help of a little black box.
When Billy Steffens was in high school in Andover he loved watching television. The Lawrence resident wanted to see The Sopranos and wrestling pay-per-views.
Steffens ordered a top-of-the-line model Cleartron descrambler box from a Web site for $160. The descrambler allowed him access to channels such as HBO and pay-per-view events. Normally, customers have to pay for these channels or they will appear as a weird swirly effect of greens and blues on the screen. Steffens used his parents' basic cable to access these channels before descrambling them.
For the next six months Steffens found himself in television heaven, watching whatever he wanted to for free. "I'd say I got about $700 out of it." Steffens says.
Unfortunately for Steffens, in the spring of 2001, Andover went digital. His Cleartron descrambler only descrambled analog channels, it was impotent against digital cable. Since then Steffens has paid for his cable. But, briefly in the fall of 2003, Steffens flirted again with free pay-per-views when he bought cable filters off of eBay.
This type of filter looks like the coaxial head of a normal cable. It hooks in between the cable running from the digital box to the cable outlet in the wall. Its job is to send the ordering information to the pay-per-view company, but not the billing information. However, the filter did send the information to the company. Steffens wasted the $15 he spent on the

filter, and the $20 he spent on wrestling pay-per-views.
AOL Time Warner's tap audit supervisor, John Fetters, says cable providers can tell when a house is using a filter because the box will show up as nonresponsive, and they can then shut off the cable.
Steffens isn't the only cable thief around. Shawn (an alias used for fear of prosecution by AOL Time Warner) enjoyed similar benefits while living with his parents in Mission Hills in 1999. "I had something called a black box, a descrambler. You had to enter in all these codes," Shawn says. The then KU freshman would go his parents' house to use his black box because it didn't work in the residence halls. By piggy-backing off of his parents' basic cable, Shawn was able to get free pay-per-views, HBO, Showtime and the Playboy Channel. "Basically I would watch pay-per-view movies constantly," Shawn says.
Shawn purchased the box for $125. He estimates that he got about $1,000 of free entertainment from the box.
Unfortunately for Shawn, the black box stopped working one day. AOL Time Warner became aware of black boxes and descramblers and took measures to prevent their use. Fetters says AOL Time Warner created software that detected the descramblers. The company would then shut down that house's cable so they only had channels one, two and three.
In Lawrence, Sunflower Broadband general manager Patrick Knorr says he can tell when cable is being illegally accessed because the quality of services will drop for the neighbors of the cable thieves. If he gets a call about failing Internet or phone calls that won't go through, it's usually because of an illegal cable tap.
The world of free pay-per-views may seem glamorous, but comes with dangers. The couple of months of free channels may be worth it, but comes at a possible price.
In the Kansas City area, Fetters says AOL Time Warner has a three-step program. On the first offense the company will disconnect the cable. The second offense results in removing all cable lines from the premise. And with a third offense the cable company will take the offender to municipal court. Fetters says the company has about 10 court cases a year.
Sunflower Broadband is constantly catching and punishing people for stealing cable in one form or another, Knorr says. In the mid 1990s, Sunflower faced a cable box distribution ring. In the end, the ring leader faced criminal charges and jail time. But Knorr also says most of the action Sunflower takes is against people who break directly into a cable line to hook up their television. And he says most of the time the descramblers that Shawn and Steffens used don't work. "It's an even bigger scam than scamming us," Knorr says.

No crystal balls or turbans — today's "true" psychics say they're in it for the healing and not the cash. But is it the real deal?

READINGS

Two years ago, Val Fiscus wanted to know what color the energy field around her was radiating. Fiscus, Council Bluffs, Iowa, senior, went with a groups of friends to see tarot consultant and holistic healer Dawn Rothwell. To begin, Rothwell first cleansed the room with an herbal spray and then sat everyone down to begin mediation to become aware of their surroundings. When she began working on Fiscus, Rothwell stood four feet away and moved her hands up and down over Fiscus' body, cleansing her chakras — energy centers located in different parts of the body — and performed Reiki, a method of directed healing energy. While she worked, Rothwell told Fiscus what she saw for her.
"She said I had a great-great-grandparent on my right shoulder, helping me to become more artsy, and on my left shoulder was a black tribal leader watching over me, who she said resembled Samuel L. Jackson," Fiscus says. The session was a success for Fiscus. And Rothwell, who now works at The Sacred Sword, 732 Massachusetts St., says she's built a base of dedicated clients. She says people of all ages and personalities come in for readings.
But for an industry that's infamous for scam artists, providing psychic services means struggling for legitimacy and facing skeptics. "You get a backlash in this business," says Gary Shainheit, owner of The Sacred Sword. "People thinking you're crazy, nuts, just not normal." People go to cleanse negative energies, find out their life's purpose or just for entertainment, though many wonder if the readings are for real.
For Perry Sadeghi the answer is yes. Sadeghi, who goes to Rothwell for Reiki sessions and is learning to become a Reiki master, believes in the healing. "I went in once and Dawn said she saw something in my left ovary. I went to the doctor later and he said I had a growth of cells," Sadeghi says. In another session she went to Rothwell with pain in her collarbone, and without Sadeghi mentioning it, Rothwell asked her if it bothered her, then focused the Reiki and Sadeghi says the pain stopped.
While Rothwell says much of what's contained in her sessions and readings comes from material she has memorized from books, she does get the occasional flash of psychic insight. That insight, though, comes for a price: $25 an hour for Tarot readings, which are cards that aim to predict a person's life path, and $35 for Reiki.
Shainheit says people still make assumptions when they come to the store. "What people need to realize is that the psychic world doesn't give two shits about the real world. The real world operates on philological needs: food, shelter and finances. The spiritual world is different. You can't put a true price tag on that," he says. Rothwell says the reason she's been able to stay in business for four years is because she's the real thing. "I doubt that there's ever been someone who's left one of my sessions unsatisfied."
But Erin Ballentine was just that. Ballentine, Overland Park junior, went to see Rothwell to for a Tarot card reading. She says she was skeptical, but curious. Ballentine says the session was short, 10 to 15 minutes, and cost her $20. Six months later, it's not the price, but the prediction that bothers her. "She told me my relationship was going to end and I would meet a man in three months." Ballentine is a lesbian. "She told me I wasn't gay, and I was like, 'What the hell?' I don't know if she was just reading the cards or putting out her whole view on homosexuality, but I was taken aback." But Rothwell says she calls the cards as she sees them, and has to be blunt. "I've had clients leave crying or just break down, but it's not like I can lie to them," she says.
Other psychics say they thrive on their accurate predictions. Stacey Wolf, a psychic and medium working out of New York City, says people like her readings because they're inspiring and she reminds clients about who they are. Wolf says she started out by studying psychic ability books and mastering the skill, but that everyone has the basic ability. "It was a gift I was born with and had to develop, but we're all psychic. It's just like we can all play basketball, but not everybody's in the NBA." Wolf started giving readings at clubs and conventions around New York City and did celebrity predictions on the Geraldo Show. Now she works frequently on television and radio talk shows,'has authored five books, and feels comfortable charging $240 an hour. "I couldn't be in this business if I didn't cough up the goods," she says.
Most of her clients are by phone and Wolf meditates on their names ahead of time and jots down notes. She says she's learned to see images and feel things, and that it's the quiet moments when she'll hone in and hear the whisper of intuition. Wolf says she cringes at the late-night advertisements and sets herself apart from the hotline numbers.
Sadeghi says the television hotlines demean the psychic industry. "On TV they make it look cheesy and like they're just in it for the money. They take the credibility away from people trying to make a real practice out of it," she says.
Sadeghi has had in-person readings that
seemed money-oriented. She was drawn to the neon lights of the Lawrence Metaphysical Shop, 11 W 9th St. She said the reading was accurate, but she wasn't sure about the intentions. "She charged me $50 for 20 minutes and then, at the end, she told me my chakras were clogged and that she could fix it for $80. She didn't seem very sympathetic about it either," Sadeghi says.
OULIA
Tina Lee, psychic consultant and owner of the Lawrence Metaphysical Shop, says she's doesn't think her fees are high and points to her eighth generation psychic lineage as reason for her prices.

Both Shainheit and Rothwell say to watch out for psychics who promise a deadon reading."Psychic ability is never so precise to tell the future exactly. You have to look out for the dollar amount and guaranteed accuracy," Shainheit says. Rothwell also says there's a fine ethical line between questions she will and will not answer, and she will never act like she has control over a client's future. She says her readings are about 75 percent book memorization and 25 percent spiritual counseling, but she's leery of clients that seem determined to have a reading. "People get addicted and think you're a guru and suddenly they're coming to you and not their therapist."
Rothwell says that's why she emphasizes that most of her Tarot readings and predictions aren't about her psychic abilities, but about being sensitive to the energy and feelings around her. "I just get vibes from people. I know what they want.
It's one of the reasons we haven't had shoplifters in the store. I knew what they wanted as soon as they came in," Rothwell says.
As for the validity of the field, Wolf says the increasing popularity of psychic studies is a good indicator of its authenticity. She was in a Florida Barnes & Noble and saw a section dedicated to Tarot readings and metaphysical studies, which indicated to her that the field is becoming more accepted. Shainheit says while psychic ability used to be shunned, shows like Joan of Arcadia are bringing the skill into the general public's eye.
Shainheit says that's why he opened his store: to create a place for discussion in the hope that more people will become open to what he says is a part of everyone's life already. Rothwell says she's sure psychic services will become increasingly popular, and banks her assurance on celebrities with their own personal psychics. "As long as it's something Madonna is doing, it will turn mainstream."

T-SHIRTS THAT ROCK & SHOCK
Local T-shirt companies rule the plains with a not-so Midwest attitude.

James Wesley, Lawrence resident, printed designs on t-shirts for the rock band Limbeck at Blue Collar Distro. Blue Collar Distro prints t-shirts for locally and national known groups such as The Get Up Kids, Appleseed Cast, and Mac
If you thought the "Jesus is my Homeboy" and "Not Everything is Flat in Kansas" T-shirts pushed the clothing envelope, think again. Eudora and Lawrence are home to some of the area's most progressive T-shirt designers and distributors. With prints that include everything from the human anatomy to your favorite band, Lawrence and surrounding areas have a T-shirt venue that is starting to gain top-notch billing.
Fed up with mainstream companies taking advantage of bands and their merchandise, Sean Ingram started Blue Collar Industries, Inc., three years ago in Eudora as a way to help out the "little guy." "Honestly, it pissed me off," says Ingram. "Clubs love to rip off bands and by the time they've raped you of all the other costs and charges, you've made as much as you've spent."

A former member of the band Coalesce, Ingram has taken his industry knowledge and talent for T-shirt design and built one of the region's most prominent T-shirt printing presses and Web sites, www.bluecollardistro.com. Boasting a client list of bands from the likes of Appleseed Cast to Linkin Park, Blue Collar Industries prints cutting-edge designs onto not only T-shirts, but hats, wrist bands and hoodies, something a lot of other companies don't offer.
Perhaps the beauty of Ingram's brainchild is the emphasis on the non-mainstream. Blue Collar Industries Independent designers and artists that are simply
houses a wealth of independent designers and artists that are simply out to create cool, individual T-shirts for music lovers. "Everyone's a designer here and very hip to what's going on in the music industry," Ingram says. "We're not looking to be millionaires, we're just here to do our thing and help out the bands."
The printing press at Blue Collar Industries, Inc. is also home to Breakdance America, whose T-shirts, hats and buttons are reminiscent of 1980's punk music, political icons and things that are "completely absurd." "We sell stuff you wouldn't think someone would make," says Jim David, co-owner and creator of Breakdance America. "As far as we know, we invented the 40 ounce koozie."
Jim David and business partner Kevin Kusatsu came up with the concept of Breakdance America in Los Angeles two years ago. After spray painting around the city, a logo was conceived and the duo started an online business. Purchasing a heat press on E-bay soon followed and the two focused on the idea of creating limited edition T-shirts. They asked, "why buy a shirt that's one in a thousand when you can buy one that's one in twenty?" Breakdance America was born.
Despite David being in Lawrence and Kusatsu in California, the cross-country partnership has worked well thus far. Working hand-in-hand with design concepts and orders, some of their tongue-in-cheek specialties include products like the "I Love Toxic Waste" T-shirt and the "Right Wing Cracker" wall-hanging series featuring Ronald Reagan and Bill Gates. And then there's the button collection properly titled "Drugs,"
v Dog, and even a flour-
Breakdance America is most easily accessible online, www.breakdanceamerica.com but has slowly started appearing in boutiques in Kansas City, California and even Australia and France.
"We're growing steadily and last year was our biggest yet," David says. "We don't want to be strictly T-shirts, but those seem to be our bread and butter right now."
Kristen Ferrell is another Lawrence native looking to T-shirts as a way to sell her art. With the hopes of printing her designs at Blue Collar Industries in the near future, she too will try to remain out of the mainstream with a small list of clientele and few boutiques. She is in the process of starting a catalog. Her fine-line ink drawings combine elements of the human anatomy and animal structures. They're "creepy cute," as Ferrell describes them. "Kids are getting more and more sick of commercial stuff," says Ferrell. "These are good for the underground art world and are in terms they can understand."
Ferrell started as an illustrator strictly for galleries, but nine months ago realized T-shirts were a much cheaper way to get her artwork noticed and make extra money. Distributing out of her home and on her Web site, www.kristenferrell.com, her passion to stray from the corporate and start a small but inventive T-shirt company spawned.
"There are a lot of younger people who really like my art but can't afford $300 for a painting," says Ferrell. "But $10 for a shirt is something they can do. It's something we as artists can provide without screwing anybody at the same time."

The Slammin' Scene Speak your truths: is anyone listening?
By Jessica Chapman, Jayplay writer
The lights dim and a man takes the stage. His tattooed forearms, which he later describes as resembling a bathroom countertop, peek out from under his faded black T-shirt. The man starts to speak with a disclaimer: "The things I'm going to talk about are just the truths I've learned in my life," he says. His eyes squint, as if examining the audience for any sudden movement, ready to lurch out from the stage and attack. After an extended pause, he starts speaking with a diatribe about the hypocrisy of those who are
faithful at church but can be found at topless bars on Sunday nights. He speaks of his old friend who is in jail for killing two gay men and of his roommate in a juvenile detention center who had AIDS.
Jason Carney, who spoke at a SUA poetry slam last month and has been featured on HBO's series Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry, says his motivation for touring the nation's schools and colleges is his knowledge that there is at least one person in each audience who needs to hear what he has to say.
And Carney's message this night is crystal clear: "Silence is worse than active hatred," he says. But Lawrence is anything but silent. From monthly slams and readings to events featuring nationally known poets, the city is a haven for those of the spoken word persuasion.
Cassandre Connolly, active member of the local poetry scene, says it is important for students to utilize the events around Lawrence. Connolly challenges people to push their boundaries by taking advantage of Lawrence's forum of open expression. The New York City senior says her visit to an open-mic poetry night at the Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St., during a trip to Lawrence during high school was a factor in her decision to move to Kansas for college.
The emcee of the Jazzhaus slams, Steve Fronseca, describes his event as the punk rock of poetry in Lawrence. "If you want to rhyme or spout your Dr. Seuss shit," he says, "this is not the place for you." When introducing himself and welcoming the audience during his March 3 show, he encouraged the audience to actively tell the poet on stage what they think of his work — whether by clapping or booing and hissing. "It's just encouragement to get better," Fronseca says.
Four years later, Connolly remains a familiar face at events such as the Jazzhaus poetry slams, SUA's open-mic poetry nights and Kiosk magazine's

Mickey Cesar, Lawrence junior and nearly 20-year veteran of the local poetry scene, agrees that the bar setting of the Jazzhaus makes the event more about entertainment than the actual poetry. Cesar, moderator of the Aimee's Coffee House monthly open-mic nights, says that the coffee house setting makes the event at Aimee's, 1025 Massachusetts St., more casual and introspective than at the Jazzhaus. But no matter the atmosphere, he says people's poetry develops rapidly when they start performing.
Cesar thinks the biggest myth about slam poetry is that it is just for "stuffy old people" talking about poems irrelevant to the audiences' lives. But, Cesar continues, it is the opposite that is true. He says the poetry is real and relevant to students.
"I never set out to write a certain thing, but I find my poetry is most appealing to divorced men," Cesar says. The sly grin on his face broadens as he belts out a quick laugh. "Nah, just bitter hearts," he adds.
laugh. Nam, just bitter. But Carney sums it up by saying if members of the audience can walk away feeling hopeful, he has succeeded. "You have to keep giving art; otherwise it will just wither away."
And maybe, just maybe, some of Carney's truths spoke to someone in the audience. It is this hope that motivates Carney, Connolly and Cesar to continue sharing their poetry.

semesterly readings. The second-place winner at last month's SUA poetry slam, she says she uses her performances as a way to work through problems in her life. "If I can recite a poem as solid as I'd like, then I become that much closer to closure," she says.
Cassandre Connolly, New York City senior performed at the Jazzhaus Poetry Slam last Wednesday. Connolly, who began performing her poetry in high school, placed second in the SUA Poetry Slam on February 11.
However, Connolly says the minute an organization adds "slam" or "competition" to the title of an open-mic night, such as the Jazzhaus poetry slam, it changes the poetry. She says it becomes intimidating and scary, especially for newcomers.

Our Country's Good Get tickled down under
By Mike Bauer, Jayplay writer
Don't laugh at the title, Our Country's Good is not about the great U.S. of A., but about Australia circa 1788, fresh from Britain's colonization of the island. Delores Ringer, director of the play, says she chose Our Country's Good because the play's author, Timberlake Wertenbaker, is her favorite playwright. Ringer also enjoys the play's humor, its depictions of love, death and fear, as well as the theatrical aspects of the play. "I am not so interested in realism," Ringer says. The cast for the play has a broad range of actors from freshmen to graduate students and Ringer says the roles are very good for young actors to work on.
Michael Bradley, a graduate student in theater who plays 2nd Lieutenant Ralph Clark, says the play is about what happens when you take people out of their habitat and into something new, such as making criminals become actors or people from Britain making new territory in Australia. The story involves governor Arthur Phillip, of what will be Sydney and a play he wants to show for King George III's birthday. Phillip assigns Clark to assemble a cast for the play, which ends up being a cast of convicts. Some of the actors can act, some can't and many of them can't read.
Bradley read the play a while ago and enjoyed it, so when he heard of the auditions, he decided to try out. Bradley says the cast has worked out well. "It's surprising that everyone gets along as well as they do," he says.
The play, which opens tomorrow at the University Theatre, was based on Thomas Kennealy's 1987 novel The Playmaker. Ringer started working on designs for the play last semester with a lot of the costumes and scenery being built over winter break. Ringer says in comparison to a previous play of KU Theatre such as Cabaret, the budget for Our Country's Good was much smaller. Because of this, some cast members don't wear full costumes and there isn't different scenery for different locations. Ringer says despite the small budget, she expects the actors to give 150 percent and doesn't think the crew will miss the full costumes or different scenery. The crew has rehearsed the play five nights a week since Jan. 26 and started dress rehearsals Monday.
Our Country's Good runs until Thursday, March 18. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. each night except for Sunday, which begins at 2:30 p.m.

Eurotrip
R. 92 minutes, South Wind. 12 Theatres
After recent high school graduate Scott (Scott Mechlowitz) gets dumped by his cheating high school girlfriend, he plans a trip to Europe with his best friends to prove he can be unpredictable.
On his quest, Scott plans to profess his love to his German pen pal, who turns out to be a beautiful blond. While in Europe, the group encounters every stereotypical character, including drunken soccer hoopsglass, a jerusalem Italian man and a French mime.
Scott's search to be impulsive produces the most recent installment for the predictable teen comedy genre. Everything from the obligatory drunken graduation party to the nightly shots throughout the film feels likeed and formulaic.
Eurotrip has entertaining gags and sequences, but the punny lines to the goodgolks have already been revealed in the movie's trailers and previews. A punked out pierced rocker carried by Matt Damon is one of the few forbids of the film.
The lack of nonverbal innovation produces a bland, sometimes funny, but often not road trip across Europe.

Welcome to Mooseport
PG. 13, 125 minutes, South Wind. 12 Theatres
A former president and a handsman involved in a mayoral race more or less filled combination in Welcome to Mooseport.
When rocky former commander in chief Monroe "Eagle" Cole (Gene Hackmann) invades the small Main town of Mooseport, the townspeople want him to run for mayor. But Harold "Handy" Harrison (Ray Romano), also signs up, not knowing of Eagle's plans. When Eagle asks him to stop wandering, he as more than willing until Colle's eyes land on Handy's prifient Sally (Maura Tierney). When Cole asks Sally out, Handy steps back into the race, sending Mooseport into the national spotlight.
Romanzo's handback leave manual is a stark contrast to Hackman's pompous egotism. But the multiple plot twists allow the supporting characters to stumble. Christine Baranski, as Colle's ex-wife, events out the race by improving her ex-detective ways. Sally is a frank writer in tired of her, and Handy's relationship hedgy. Fred Savage plays the bell-tailed public relations firm who can't do anything right in this mayoral flasher. This all-star cast includes Tim McMahon for great political and comedic relief in an election year.

Welcome to Mooseport
PG. 13, 125 minutes, South Wind 12 Theatres
A former president and a hindytman involved in a mayoral race more than a laugh filled combination in Welcome to Mooseport.
When creeky former commander Jerroche Monroe "Eagle" Cole (Game Hackman) invades the small Maine town of Mooseport, the townspeople want him to stay away. But Harold "Handy Harrison" Ray Romanoff also signs up, not knowing of Eagle's plans. When Eagle asks him to step aside, it is more than willing until Cole's eyes light on Handy's girlfriend Sally (Maura Denny). When Cole asks Sally out, Handy steps back into the race, sending Mooseport onto the national spotlight.
Romann's friend Haskel has a moral dilemma: is a stock contract to Hackman's pompous mistum? But the multiple plot twists allow the supporting characters to shame Christine Barrains as Cole's ex-wife, events out the rear by improving her ex's deceptive ways. Sally is a frank voter that in lieu of her and Handy's relationship family, Fred Savage plays the taut-quoted public relations director who can't do anything right in this mayoral fiasco. This all-star cast is intended: the film makes for great political and comedic relief in an vacation year.

Louis Logic "Idiot Gear" 7-inch Single
Curiosity, as the saying goes, killed the cat. And probably a boxcar's worth of other animals as well. No one knows this more, however, than the lucky dude who happens to inquire about his girlfriend's sexual history. This man dons the "idiot gear" first made famous by Silent Bob and now broken down with trademark acerbic wit by Louis Logic. The lead single from last year's Sin-A-Matic,
"Idiot Gear" is Louis in true form. He's riding a so-fun-it's-silly beat by his frequent (and underexposed) cohort J.J. Brown and tossing one-liners like "Living life in a small hood you probably collide/ With lots of dudes who probably used to climb on top of your wife." The previously unreleased b-side was unreleased for a reason: it's vapid underground boom. However, it's still worth picking this up for the lesson that "Idiot Gear" provides. Buy it before you don it!

Eyedea & Abilities E & A
Kanye West The College Dropout
"Sick...sick...sick of the same old thing?" Then align with Eyedea & Abilities' style of funk hip-hop on the group's latest release E & A and you won't be disappointed. Eyedea & Abilities is powerfully dynamic subterranean hip-hop.
MC Eyedea sounds like the Def Squad minus the gangster suit. Swaying in and out of fast-ripped lyrics and focus, Eyedea is true to the themes that matter. With "Paradise," Eyedea introduces a unique view on the give and take nature of relationships over authentic beats and precision scratching of DJ Abilities. Straight up, Eyedea & Abilities can do it all. E & A is written, produced and performed well enough to combine raw skill with twists and tweaks to send any current rap artists back to the lab.

KJHK DJ, New Music Rotation
Mondays, 10 p.m. to midnight
In the face of the aging hip-hop norm that all things must be "street" to be authentic, Kanye West is unapologetically suburban. It is that honesty that makes his music refreshing. West does not make music specifically for the people who are gangsta', hood, intellectual or conscious. Rather, he brilliantly produces and deftly emcees for all people. West makes everybody music, and it is evident that he has fun doing it. On The College Dropout, he's charmingly arrogant, mischievously playful, doggedly persistent, but above all he's dead serious about being himself, and making sure that his listeners hear him for who he is - the best thing to happen to hip-hop this year.

I snack

mile
"Deeeeeeeeeee Q!" It's the first thing my Dad has said in an hour, but I'm not surprised. After all, we've passed another Dairy Queen sign. "A chocolate-chip cookie dough Blizzard sure sounds good," he says, giving me the half-raised eyebrow that pretends he hasn't said this for the five other DQ signs we've passed. I play along, one more time. "Well," I try to draw a hopeful tone. "Why don't we stop?" He scans the road and squints at the horizon. "Nah. We'll stop at the next one."
Dad and I are on the road, headed to Arizona for three weeks of rafting. It's just us, a 22-hour drive, the 1990 Ford Ranger and Dad's bizarre travel behavior. I love rafting the rivers, but it's taken years to fully appreciate the ride there with my father. To start, there's no talking in this truck. It’s miles and miles of just miles and miles, until Dad's city-christening bellow:
"Denver! Two-hundred and forty-five miles." Then silence. He's got his hands right there at the 10 and the two, patiently waiting for the next sign to pop up.
There's no breaking the quiet with my own music either. I've tried before to slide a CD into the classic rock rotation, but once Ben Folds slipped an expletive in, he was out. Interrupting with "HMMmmm," Dad set his chin and shook his head at the CD player. He frowned and grumbled a few more HHMmmms and then said, "Think we should put Chicago back in." It wasn't a question. Once Chicago, Boston, Kansas or any other geographic-sounding band started to play, he was back to tapping the steering wheel and crooning the occasional line, "You're the meaning in my life, you're the insir-aaaation..." followed by, "Grand Junction! Three-hundred and twenty-two miles."
Not that we'd be there any time soon. Dad sets his cruise at a strict 63 mph. Cars speeding by at a reckless 65 mph get the same reaction poor Ben does: "HMMmmm" and a headshake. I snack on dried mangos that we bought before we left. Dad takes one and nibbles on the edge. He savors it for a solid five minutes, then puts the remnants back down on the console. Ten miles later he picks it back up for another bite. Knowing better, I still try an icebreaker.
"You know, we've been talking about the whole abortion debate in class lately," He squishes down farther in his seat. "I guess I've never asked what you think about it." Silence. "So...what do you think?" My voice is sadly pleading for a response. "Oh, hmm. Well. Yeah. That." He trails off, and that's it. He's done.
There is one subject Dad will expand on: rafting. I can fill the time between Colorado and Arizona by asking him about that crazy Rio Grande trip through Mexico. But once we hit the gas station, it's all economics. Dad pulls down his 1980s MacGyver sunglasses, takes another nibble of mango and hustles over to my window. He's a vision in faded orange pants and a green Grand Canyon T-shirt. He motions to roll down the window and says enthusiastically, "You get the numbers, Marissa!"
Dad is obsessed with calculating the amount of gas he can get out of the Ranger. Every trip, he has me log the city we're in, the gallons of gas, the price and the odometer reading. If I forget and run to the bathroom instead, it will be a silent and tense ride until the next station. "Hey," he'll gripe. "How 'bout we don't forget the numbers this time?"
This thrift-thinking carries over to hotels too. Driving along a pitch-black highway at 2 a.m., he shuns Best Western and Days Inn. "Forty a night? HMMmmm. Keep your eyes peeled for the next KOA." It's KOA camping all the way with Dad. Shivering in our tent, I wonder how much money I have in my bag.
When I was younger, hours in the car with Dad were less than appreciated. I wanted to obliviously pass road signs. I wanted to actually get a Blizzard. I wanted engaging road-trip conversation. But I was missing the true charm of the drive. The continuous classic rock, the mile marking, the gas-mileage log book. Even nights outside, bitterly cold at a KOA — I love them. Because it's just him and me, the only ones who enjoy these trips. And getting there, in just the way we do, wouldn't be half as memorable, if not for the indispensable:
"Deeeeeeeeeee Q!"

Festival tickets on sale today
Fifty-band concert could bring thousands to city, organizers say
By Dave Nobles
dnobles@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Portajohns, sweaty, shirtless dancers rows of vendors — sounds like your typical summer concert.
But the Wakaraus Music and Camping Festival is anything but typical.
Tickets will go on sale today for the festival, which is in its first year and will be held at Clinton Lake State Park.
More than 50 bands are scheduled to play at the event, which will take place June 18 to 20. Organizers expect as many as 30,000 people to descend on Lawrence from throughout the country.
Today, early-bird tickets go on sale for $65
The first round of tickets will be available in limited quantities. The second round of tickets goes on sale April 30 and costs $75. Regular tickets after the second round run $95 and procrastinators will have to pay $105 after June 1.
There also will be early-bird specials for moving onto the site on June 17.
Festival co-organizer Brett Mosiman said fans from coast to coast were talking about the festival on the Internet and that he expected as many as 20,000 people from outside of the area.
"It's a situation where people need to get their tickets early or wait until next year." Mosiman said.
The festival is still in its developmental stages, with more bands signing on to perform each week. Mosiman said
"We will definitely be adding more bands." Mosiman said.
The array of acts will play on three separate stages at the festival. A fourth stage is a possibility.
Some other options the organizers have considered for the festival visitors include a tent featuring electronic music and DJs, a movie tent and shuttles to the Massachusetts Street area.
These options would add to a variety of activities fans will be able to take part in at the festival.

First Lieutenant Robert Chamberlain, 2002 graduate, spoke with a group of ROTC cadets yesterday near training grounds on West Campus. Chamberlain, who returned from service in Iraq six weeks ago, related his experiences with the training the cadets are currently in." I got to see where the rubber meets the road, so to speak," Chamberlain said about taking up duty in Iraq almost immediately after he graduated from the University of Kansas.

"I've seen what the soldiers you'll lead are capable of and I know what you're capable of." Chamberlain told them. "You guys will be the lieutenants when I'm a captain and you'll get to lead the same soldiers I worked with. You're going to do a great job and I can't tell you how proud I am."
Chamberlain is a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. He's also a Rhodes Scholar who graduated from the University with a degree in political science in 2002 and postponed studying at Oxford University to serve in Iraq for nine months.

Although Starbucks was closed for business, Castle said he and his co-workers remained in the store to help with what they could in the city. For the next five days, Castle and the rest of the Starbucks staff brewed coffee for the rescue workers. All day and all night, they delivered coffee and water to Red

Caucus to decide county's delegates
By Patrick Cady
pcady@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The caucus brings together the ranks of the Douglas County Democrats. It is the Kansas Democratic Party's first step in choosing delegates to attend the Democratic National Convention in July.
Tomorrow the Kansas Caucus will begin. Whether it will have an effect on the presidential election depends on who you talk to.
Counties throughout Kansas will hold their conventions tomorrow. Each county's chosen delegates will then attend a district convention in April, where delegates will be chosen to attend July's national convention. At the national convention the chosen delegates will vote for a specific presidential candidate to represent the Democratic Party in November's general election.
The caucus is vital, said Marilyn Greathouse, leader of the Douglas County Democrats and a receptionist at the department of engineering administration. It is a time for the Democrats to hash out differences and ultimately unite.
"I think it's seeing our democracy at work." Greathouse said.
But to some the event might appear as an exercise in futility, at least as far as the presidential nomination process goes.
A few weeks ago, the KU Young Democrats planned to have a mock caucus on Wescoe Beach to promote the gathering. But that was when the race for the nomination was very unclear, said Tom Keating, Marysville junior and president of the Young Democrats.
But the group's enthusiasm for the caucus was depleted after Kerry locked up the presidential bid, Keating said. And because Kansas sends only 41 delegates to the national convention — compared to Missouri's 87 or California's 441 — it was hard to believe the Kansas caucus would make a difference, Keating said.
Earlier this week, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts gained the number of national delegates needed to attain the presidential nomination.
"We kind of get the message we don't matter." Keating said.
Mark Simpson, special assistant to the Chairman of the Kansas Democratic Party, said participation in the caucus was valuable to all, especially youth.
"I think it is important for student Democrats to unite with the rest of the Kansas Democrats to make their voice heard." Simpson said.
That is exactly why Madelaine Marchin, Manhattan senior, will attend the caucus, she said.
"I think most people aren't interested

Pay raise proposal still under debate
By Ron Knox
rknox@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Talks remained friendly at a meeting between University of Kansas faculty and Kansas legislators Wednesday, in spite of a Senate committee's earlier attempt to remove state pay raises from Gov Kathleen Sebelius' proposed budget.
"We spoke about the issue very briefly," said Mark Nesbitt-Daly, unclassified staff representative, referring to a Senate Ways and Means committee's decision to remove a 3 percent pay raise mandate from the budget proposal last week.
"We just went to thank them for their continued support of higher education," Nesbitt-Daly said.
Although the Senate committee voted to remove the proposal last week, the Kansas House of
Representatives has yet to vote on Sebellun' budget.
Repeated money shortages in the state budget have prevented the state from giving employees a pay raise for three years.Three years of missing raises have left employees with the rising cost of living and no way to compensate for it, Nesbitt-Daly said.
"If the 3 percent raise doesn't go through, it's going to be devastating across the board," he said.
Every time University faculty tried to discuss the pay raises, the conversation became heated. Nesbitt-Daly said.
The proposed pay raise, as with many aspects of Sebelius' proposed budget, has become a partisan issue, said Rep. Paul Davis, (D-Lawrence).
"The Republican leadership has done everything they can to make sure the Governor doesn't score any political victories," Davis said.
Davis said if the budget passed in the House, the two legislative chambers would have to work out a compromise, which would probably result in a pay increase of less than the proposed 3 percent.
The Ways and Means Committee removed the proposal to consider it separately from the rest of Sebelius' budget, said Janie Rutherford in the Senate President's office.
She said such proposals were usually removed and placed in a separate bill. A vote on that bill will decide the fate of the mandate that will cost nearly $26 million to fund.
Of that $26 million, the 3 percent pay increase would create a $7.7 million budget deficit at the University next year. University administration would have to remove money from several programs on campus, including housing and parking departments, to cover the budget gap.
While a smaller pay increase for state employees could help the University with a struggling budget, both classified staff and faculty fear this to be a case of history repeating itself.
"It wouldn't be the first time we haven't gotten a pay raise," said Kathy Jansen, spokesperson for KU classified senate.
The missing money compelled classified staff to vote last October in favor of removal from the state budget, opting for the University's instead. Classified Senate leadership sent the proposed change to the Board of Regents, which was weighing the issue.
Jansen said the Senate setback wasn't the end of their pursuit of the much-needed raise.
"It's not dead until the session is over. It's frustrating, but there is more work to be done," Jansen said.

Brazilian Carnaval comes to Lawrence
By Marc Ingber
mingber@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Brazilian version of Fat Tuesday will be celebrated tomorrow.
The Brazilian Student Association, BRASA, will host Carnaval tomorrow night at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St.
This Fat Tuesday celebration is being celebrated after the start of Lent because the band, Tambores of Brazil, featuring singer Dandara, was tough to schedule. This was because the group was already committed to other performances when it was contacted by BRASA.
Marcelo Moreira, Recife, Brazil, junior and BRASA treasurer, said scheduling conflicts caused the celebration to take place out of season almost every year, so the delayed celebration is not really out of the ordinary.

Moreira, said the band will bring a new vibe to the celebration.
"People will be surprised by how different this year is going to be," he said. "It will be a Carnaval to remember."
Terena Silva, Recife, Brazil, sophomore and BRASA social chairwoman, said one of the BRASA's strengths was creating the same vibe in Lawrence that
people felt while celebrating Carpaval in Brazil.
"When people go, they realize how similar it is," she said.
The similar vibe is a relief for Moreira because Carnaval is one of the times that he starts missing his country the most.
"My favorite part is seeing all the Brazilians in the same situation as I am coming together to celebrate," he said. "We're all in the same boat."
He would like to have a turnout similar to last year's event.
"It was packed last year," he said. "It was one-in, one-out early in the night."
He said he expects about 1,000 people to attend.

CHAMBERLAIN: Soldier faces hardships to help improve Iraq
end of major military action in Iraq. The war ended, but Chamberlain's work had just begun.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Edited by Michelle Rodick
He soon found himself on a military cargo plane to Baghdad.
"My hamstring is cramping because I'm on a C-130 with a pallet of duffel bags and a rucksack in front of me. So my legs hurt, my foot is numb and I'm glad these earplugs work because I'd like to go to sleep now." Chamberlain said. "I wasn't sure what to think and I don't think anyone's really sure what to think, you just kind of deal with things as they come."
From Baghdad, Chamberlain went on to Mosul, the capital of the northern province of Ninevah. He was trained as a fire support officer, which made him responsible for providing mortar and artillery cover for infantry. But because most of the open combat was over, Chamberlain's duties evolved to playing an active role in rebuilding Mosul and the surrounding communities.
Chamberlain helped gather intelligence, made civil service assessments and supervised reconstruction projects. He said he worked closely with Iraqis.
"There are a lot of Iraqis who are ready to work hard to make their country a better place." Chamberlain said. "We as a coalition are just trying to facilitate them rebuilding their own society in the way that they want to do it."
He was especially proud of returning sanitation services to a small community near Mosul.
Trash was building up in the streets and kids were playing amid backed-up sewage because the government was in transition. Chamberlain helped arrange a $4,000 contract to hire workers and buy equipment. A local Iraqi leader then took charge of the project, to clean up the city, provide jobs and enable local leaders to take ownership of the reconstruction process.
Chamberlain said he never
questioned his mission.
"I need soldiers to trust me implicitly and similarly I owe that to my chain of command," Chamberlain said. "We can't make judgments on things we don't have full information on. That's how we looked at it."
Chamberlain said the most difficult thing about his service was being separated from "the love and affection of my beautiful, vivacious wife." He and Kristen had been married four months when he left.
Chamberlain returned from Iraq six weeks ago. He was in a re-integration program for the first month and is now on leave, enjoying his time with Kristen and roaming the campus again. Kristen will accompany him to Oxford in October when he goes to finish his master's degree in forced migration, the study of returning war refugees to their native countries. He plans to do his thesis on how to help child soldiers adjust in post-war societies.
Yesterday he talked to groups of ROTC cadets for most of the afternoon. Jesse Hall, Caney freshman, was one of the cadets.
"He's definitely an inspiration and for him to take this time he has off and come out here and talk to us is great." Hall said. "I really liked his second comment, that we're not only training for combat, we're also training to prepare to train other troops."
Chamberlain told the cadets that his experience in Iraq had taught him that light infantry training was essential to all military personnel. He said they had to be prepared for a non-linear battlefield where there was no safe rear area.Because of their ROTC training they would be expected to teach other soldiers.
Capt. Brad Bohan watched as the cadets absorbed and related to Chamberlain's words.
"Last year he was a college student; this year he's a combat vet," Bohan said.

Democrats: Go vote Saturday; delegates up for grabs
KANSAS CAUCUS
VOTE
Z. NEWTON
Democrats in Kansas will get an opportunity to affirm the nomination of Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass) or choose to give Kansas' delegates to someone else for the nomination to face President George W. Bush in November.
OUR VIEW Kansas' delegates will help guide the party's direction. Go vote.
Kansas' caucuses may not matter this year. Kerry's nomination looks likely. Even so, it is important to go out to the individual caucus sites and show support for a preferred candidate.
Other candidates who are still in the race for the nomination are Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) and Rev. Al Sharpton.
Gov. Howard Dean (D-Vt.) and Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) have both suspended their campaigns but have both left themselves in the race for delegates.
So far Kerry has the lead in delegates with 2,043 total delegates. Edwards is in second with 539. They are followed by Dean with 170, Retired Gen. Wesley Clark with 57, Sharpton with 27 and Kucinich with 23.
Zach Newton for The University Daily Kansan
A total of 2,162 delegates are needed to win the nomination. Kansas has a total of 41 delegates — eight will choose their own candidate, while 33 will vote by the discretion of the caucuses.
Turnout is expected to be low for the caucuses and that is why it is so important to get out and vote for a candidate.
not change the outcome of who will get the nomination, but the delegates might change the party's platform.
The votes from the Kansas caucus will
The reason why people should get out to vote is because this is the first time in the last two presidential elections that Kansas voters have had a chance to participate in
the primary system.
Saturday, Kansas voters should show that they don't want to be disenfranchised anymore. The amount of delegates may be a drop in the bucket, but these delegates are our delegates. The residents of the state, not the party heads, should decide
where those delegates go.
Saturday is an opportunity for the residents of the state of Kansas to say who they want to face Bush in November. Take advantage of it. If voter turnout is as low as expected, who knows when Kansas will have another primary or caucus again.
PERSPECTIVE
Election creep: Politicians prepare prematurely
COMMENTARY
As college students, we've been waiting 18 years or more to vote. Now that we have two presidential candidates to choose from, it seems like it will be about another 18 years before the election.
M. E. F.
Every year presidential elections get longer. In fact, the republicans plan to nominate their 2008 candidate in October. Likely 2012 Democratic nominee, U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D- N.Y.), is running advertisements saying she is sure whover will be elected in 2008 will do a terrible job and it will be time for a change. "Hillary in 2012: Because the world is bound to be messed up by then."
Brandon Gay opinion@kansan.com
OK, so it's not that bad yet. But, even if we don't yet have simultaneous presidential elections going on, the race we do have is down to two candidates and the conventions aren't for another six months.
There is barely enough action to keep the attention of the average presidential candidate, let alone the average voter.
That does not mean the next six months won't be full of must-see entertainment. There will be important policy debates, candidates will travel the country and political analysts will tell us who is likely to win. So, as you can see, we as
Americans have one thing to do: laugh.
Just to keep you interested for the next six months, here are some things to watch for (and laugh at) during the campaign:
First, expect some negative campaigning. Negative campaigning can be entertaining, but first you have to recognize it. Typical negative advertisements might point out that one candidate is weak on defense or that another is a blood-sucking neo-Nazi who favors banning textbooks in schools, doesn't use his turn signal and voted for the prescription drug bill.
Sometimes negative advertisements subtly point out a candidate's poor personality traits, such as the fact that U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) is such a boring stiff it's likely he actually died in the late 1990s. After you see the initial negative advertisement, wait a few weeks for a response from the other side. In this case, Kerry might come back with an advertisement which points out that "some of our best presidents, such as George Washington and Teddy Roosevelt, are dead."
Next, expect something wacky from everyone's favorite non-contending contender, Dennis Kucinich. He's still in the race and, by my calculations, there is one government program he has not yet proposed: Universal, single-payer, not-for-profit dental care for citizens, dogs, cats and domesticated rabbits.
There will also be a debate about debate formats. Kerry will likely want to have a five-hour policy debate every day until the election. Expect President Bush to call for something more along the lines of one debate, televised live at 3 a.m., featuring questions from the cast of Sesame Street.
If all this still fails to hold your interest, just think back to the entertaining moments of the primaries, such as when former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean had an aneurism on national television. "We're going to go to the hospital! And to the emergency room! And to the operating room and to intensive care! And then we're going to go to heaven and take back religion for the democrats! Yeaargh!"
And remember, it's not yet too late to plan your own 2020 bid for the presidency. However, the candidates are already booking tickets to Iowa, so you better hurry.

COMMENTARY
In America, being inclusive means that we can all pose for the picture on the brochure, as long as no one in the photograph demands rights, equal protection or appropriate representation.
Recently, though, I've begun to understand why.
Cornelius Minor opinion@kansan.com
In America, we can be proud of the "highlight film" version of our shared history — women can work, blacks can vote, Cablanasians can play golf. To desire to work through and reconcile those darker moments — the Red Summer of 1919, the interment of Japanese during WWII, the Zoot Riots of 1943 and countless others — is to be to be branded as belligerently unaccommodating.
Where I begin to have trouble, though,
is when I think about the things that exist
outside of my personal dreams of happiness.
What about other people's desires
In America, individuals are near sick of being made to feel guilty over yesterday's troubles. Ultimately, I suspect that sometimes, in America, folks just want to live — to watch TV, to listen to music, to chill. I know that at times, I certainly do.
In America, folks are tired of talking about, worrying over or living through those problems that lie outside of our immediate sphere. After all, we've got jobs to do, homework to finish and people to see.
I am reminded of the 3,454 American people who died of malnutrition in 2001. In that same year, 2,978 people in the U.S. were killed in terrorist attacks, and we threw ourselves into an expensive war to avenge them. Where is our war on poverty or on hunger? Were those lives not worth just as much?
No matter what we do, it is imperative that we realize that in America, our destinies are all tied, and I'm not talking about it in some abstract sense. Our connections are very concrete. 13 percent of the federal income taxes that we pay go to "general government." A substantial portion of that money is set aside to keep people in jails today, because 15 years ago, my parents and their peers failed to
to live and to be happy? If I don't fight for, or at least worry about others when their rights or dreams are limited, who will stand for me when somebody attempts to limit mine?
As I've gotten older, I've grown frustrated because I've realized that thinking or writing about a problem does little to alleviate it. I know what compassion looks like when I think or when I write, but what does it look like when I act?
see the value in educating them. That does not mean that my parents are bad people, it just means that I have to undertake the challenge of being better than them. That is progress.
In America, times are too urgent to argue about who is right and who is left, who is blame and who is innocent, or who is patriotic and who is not. The more appropriate question: Who is going to do the work? Who will stand when others sit? Who will lead? Who will understand? Who will challenge? Who will love? Those people are the important people to us now — not the critics, the scholars, the politicians, or the pollsters, but those people who dare to think outside of their own experiences and those who are brave enough to ask questions.
Fortunately for us, in America, the most important person stares at you each morning in the mirror when you brush your teeth. I can't wait to see what you'll do.

Opera plays with Shakespeare
By Dave Nobles
dnobles@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer.
A Kansas City opera is aiming to shake up the typical Shakespeare performance.
An operatic adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream that is set in the 1930s will open at the Lyric Opera of Kansas City tomorrow night.
The opera was written by Benjamin Britton and first performed in the 1960s in England, but not with the twists that the Lyric Opera is putting on it, said Evan Luskin, general director of the Lyric Opera.
The opera will still use a shortened but exact version of Shakespeare's text as its libretto, the script of the opera.
But a Marilyn Monroe lookalike and a faux Gary Cooper will play Titania and Oberon, two of the show's main characters.
The Rustics in the opera will don Boy Scout uniforms and the chorus will dress like the Little Rascals.
Luskin said that the characters will not look like their lyrics may sound, but that the costumes were an appropriate form of conveying the meaning.
"Since it's a fantasy and it's a dream, there's a lot of leeway," Luskin said. "I think it translates well into an opera."
"I think some parts of Kansas are conservative about opera. This is going to be on the risque end."
Lindsey Poling Erie, Pa., senior
The opera's experimental costuming helps to effectively relate the story to the audience, said Mark Ferrell, associate professor of music at the University of Kansas and assistant conductor for the opera.
"People relate to allegorical icons and figures," Ferrell said. "When you update a play or opera, it makes it more immediate."
Another difference from the opera's traditional format will be the chorus, made up of 20 children.
Singers who auditioned for the Lyric Opera in New York will be playing the major roles in the work.
Luskin said that it was standard practice for the company to bring in professionals for larger roles.
The Lyric Opera also has an apprenticeship program with the University of Kansas and
Lindsey Poling, Erie, Pa., senior, is one of about 10 KU students involved with the production. She has been in rehearsals for more than three weeks.
the performance will allow students to showcase their abilities.
Poling will be playing the role of Hippolyta in the show. She said that the different aspects of the performance may not appeal to many Kansans.
"I think some parts of Kansas are conservative about opera," Pollingsaid. "This is going to be on the risque end."
Shakespearean purists will still appreciate the opera because it remained faithful to the script, Ferrell said.
William Scott, professor of English, teaches Shakespeare at the University and has some reservations about the opera.
Scott said he had seen the opera in its traditional format long ago and thought it was done well. He said that if a company were to change aspects of it, there should be a valid reason.
"You move it to another time if you have a point to make," Scott said. "Not to get an audience reaction."
Dick Hardin, professor of English, said he didn't see a problem with the costume experimentation as long as the
IT'S SHOWTIME

play's meaning remained unchanged.
"If they did that to the play, I might have qualms," Hardin said. "I guess I'd have to see it, though."
Just don't go in expecting a typical Shakespeare performance, Hardin said.

because people already now who the nominee is going to be," Marchin said.
She said she had spent months supporting former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, who vocally dropped out of the race but left his name on some ballots.

FACES: Priorities switched after towers fell

Weeks and months passed and nothing returned to normal in New York City, Castle said. He was used to growing up on what he called a "zoo" with his stepfather's exotic pheasants, zebra and yak running wild on the farm. But no zoo could prepare him for the military helicopters, soldiers in the subway and constant anthrax scares

WAKARUSA: Students interested in music festival
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Frisbee golf, fishing, shower trailers and a colony of vendors are already confirmed for the event.
Mosiman said that the festival would focus on fan comfort and would be a grassroots-type of event.
"It's not like we're militantly anticorporate by any means," Mosiman said. "We're talking about the culture of big music today. We're keeping prices reasonable because we respect music."
The idea behind the festival has been in the back of Mosiman's mind for a few years. He said the success of Bonnaroo, a
similar music festival in Manchester Farm, Tenn., inspired him to start a festival.
"There needs to be more stuff like it," said Stephen Kroeker, Overland Park freshman, "It's an awesome idea."
Students at the University of Kansas have mixed views of the festival.
Meghan Lurtz, Olathe sophomore, said that the festival would be a boost to the economy, but that the amount of visitors would cause some problems.

Jayhawks to battle Tigers
By Ryan Greene
rgreene@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
DALLAS, Texas — The Kansas men's basketball team would love to duplicate plenty from the 2002-03 postseason this year.
That includes solid and consistent production from senior forward Jeff Graves, outstanding individual performances from the team's veteran leaders and a return to the National Championship game. Not included is the loss in the Big 12 Conference Tournament semifinals to Missouri.
For the second straight year, the
Jayhawks (20-7 overall, 12-4 Big 12) will
face the Tigers (16-12, 9-7) in the conference tournament. Just like last season, Kansas

Both this season and last, the Jayhawks defeated the Tigers in nailbiters at the Hearnes Center to end the regular season. This season, it was Missouri's final game in the 32-year-old building, and it did major damage to the Tigers' NCAA Tournament hopes. Even if tonight's opponent is a familiar one, the emotion the Jayhawks still feel from
last Sunday should transfer to the floor
"You'd like to play against the teams from the South because you only get to play them once," junior forward Wayne Simien said. "But it's a rivalry game, so we'll be up for it nevertheless."
The game last Sunday at Missouri was a must-win not only for the Tigers, but also for the Jayhawks in a way. Kansas needed to remember how to win on the road before postseason play began. The victory in Columbia was the Jayhawks' first triumph outside Allen Fieldhouse since Jan. 28 and halted a four-game losing streak on the road.
"We hadn't won on the road in what seemed like forever," freshman guard R.J. Giddens said. "I think that was
good as a confidence-booster"
If the Jayhawks want to win tonight, they will need a performance from Wayne Simien to match his 22 points and seven rebounds in the game at Columbia. Simien scored 16 of those points in the second half, and his physical presence was needed to help slow Missouri's Arthur Johnson. The senior center scored a career-high 37 points in the last-second loss and will need to establish similar dominance for the underdog Tigers to make the third time against KU a charm.
Toward the end of the regular season the Jayhawks were able to give a boost to players who needed it most.

LAST LINE OF DEFENSE
Goalies possess 'special weirdness'
Kit Leffler/Kansa
By Nikki Overfelt
overfelt@kansan.com
Kansan senior writerwriter
n opportunity to win every game, they do it alone.
Brandon Schultz admittedly couldn't handle the pressure.
The defenseman for the Kansas club hockey team and Apple Valley, Minn., junior has played hockey since he was 3 but has never been a goalie.
But, for 20 minutes of a pick-up game, he gave it a try earlier this season. As if standing in 40 pounds of gear didn't make him sweat enough, trying to stop a six-ounce piece of rubber flying at him at about 70 miles per hour was too much.
"I envy goalies," Schultz said. "I couldn't do it — all the pressure."
Growing up in Minnesota, Caroline Smith, leading scorer for the Kansas women's soccer team, tried playing hockey goalie once. But she found the position was not for her.
Smith said she had fun, but she was bored when the action didn't involve her. She said she liked the consistency of her forward position.
"If it's a good team, I'm going to see the ball," she said. "And if it's a bad team, I'm going to see the ball."
"They don't have that special weirdness," she said. "Goalie is probably the most insane position ever. I just have a calling to be insane."
"You're on a team, but you're kind of your own player," said Dave Wiley, the Kansas women's lacrosse coach who was a goalie for 17 years. "You're in your own world."
This special weirdness is the love of a position that is unlike any other. The pressure is overwhelming, but the action is limited. Goalies have no fear of rubber objects flying at their heads at more than 50 miles per hour. It is a solitary position, but the team is nothing without it.
Pressure of perfection
It was the biggest game in the history of the Kansas women's soccer program.
Kansas faced second-ranked UCLA in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament last November. Miller said it was the most pressure she had ever faced.
Kansas lost 1-0, but Miller finished with eight saves, only one shy of tying her career high.
"I feel like I rise to the challenge when there's pressure like that," she said. "In
big games like that I feel like I step up."
Although not every game involves that much pressure,goalies always face the pressure of making or breaking a game.
If a forward commits a turnover or a defender blows coverage, it probably won't cost the team the game because it still has the goalie to back it up. Smith said.
But no matter who commits the mistake, a goal is blamed on the goalie.
Goalies have no one to back them up. "You have to demand perfection every time." Miller said. "Because if you screw up, it's a goal."
"If you let in a goal, no matter if it's a sweet goal or not, everyone's going to think it your fault." Schultz said.
On top of covering up other teammates' mistakes, goals often pay for them too. Power plays in hockey and men's lacrosse are the epitome of this. With a one-man advantage, it is often easier for the opposing team to shoot on the goal.
"You're supposed to be penalizing the team." Wiley, the lacrosse coach, said. "But you are penalizing the goalie. It's two minutes of hell."
Penalty shots are also hard on a goalie, Wiley said, but they get "hell" over with more quickly.
Then there are shootouts, which place the outcome of the game solely on the shoulders of the goalie at each end.
A simple glance at the score does not do goalies justice. Fans don't often take into account the number of shots the goalie faced in the game, how the goal was scored or if the goals were scored on power plays.
"Your team gives you glory, but the fans have no clue," said JoEllen Wang, University City, Mo., goalie for the women's lacrosse team. "They are busy counting goals."
One is the loneliest number
After a member of the club hockey team scores a goal, the players on the ice skate over to the bench to slap the hands of their other teammates. But this is when Ryan McGarry, a goalie for

Homestand helps 'Hawks
Baseball team looks to continue success at home this weekend

The Kansas baseball team has enjoyed the surroundings of Hoglund Ballpark for the past nine games, going 8-1 over the long homestand.
The homestand will conclude this weekend with a three-game series against Arkansas-Little Rock.
The Jayhawks are 15-8-1 and are coming off a 15-1 victory against Tabor College on Wednesday.
Kansas' offense has flowed throughout its homestand. The team's offense has been led by sophomore Matt Baty, who is hitting .414 on the season. Senior Matt Trible has also contributed to the team's offensive output by continuing his now 15-game hit streak.
Kansas team members attribute the team's success at the plate to finally being able to practice outdoors. Earlier in the season, the team was only able to hit out of batting cages because the field was covered in snow.
"We have been having good practices, with live BP on the field and I
think that is what we lacked earlier in the season," junior Travis Metcalf said. "I think it is practice preparation and then just seeing the ball really well."
Cherry set a school record for strikeouts last year with 108. So far this season, Cherry is 1-1 with an earned run average of 5.38 and has 17 strikeouts.
Kansas faced Arkansas-Little Rock last season and split the two game set. The Trojans (6-4) are led by senior pitcher Brad Cherry. Kansas coach Ritch Price was impressed with his performance last season.
"I thought he was one of the best non-conference pitchers we saw a year ago." Price said.
Kansas defeated Creighton 5-1 in its only meeting of the season, while the Troians split a two game set.
Senior Ryan Knippschild will get the start today for the Hawks. Knippschild is 3-2 on the season with an ERA of 5.35.
Tribble said the team would need to be on top of its game to secure a victory.
"These guys are going to play us
The only common opponent for the two teams is Creighton.

NCAA to examine endorsement rule
By Joe Bant
jbant@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
An NCAA subcommittee will look at the possibility of changing the rules regarding student-athletes and endorsements.
Currently, the rules prohibit college athletes from making money from endorsements, but the subcommittee may loosen those restrictions.
Bill Saum, NCAA representative on the subcommittee, said no proposals had been considered yet, but any number of outcomes could result from the process. He said the subcommittee's only intention at this point was to review the NCAA's rules on the subject and determine if they needed to be changed.
The subcommittee will discuss the issue at an NCAA meeting in June.
The review is coming in the aftermath of controversy involving Colorado football player and Olympic
"It's an issue that had not been reviewed in a long time." Saum said. "The NCAA needs to be responsive to the needs of student-athletes."

skier Jeremy Bloom.
Earlier this year, Bloom was given the opportunity to get endorsements from skiing products, but NCAA rules prohibited him from accepting them because of his status as a collegiate football player.
Bloom protested
the rules, and other athletes support his position.
"Jeremy Bloom should have the opportunity to pursue those endorsements," said Maggie Mason, vice president of the Big 12 Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, which represents the conference's student-athletes.
Mason, who also plays soccer for Kansas, said Bloom's case was high profile, but was far from unique. She said this was a situation that the NCAA definitely needed to address.
Mason said it was her understanding that there were a couple of specific reform ideas being circulated.

Garth Brooks woos crowd hits single to Mariners
PEORIA, Ariz. — Country music star Garth Brooks had fans on their feet and cheering after he singled yesterday in the Kansas City Royals' 10-7 loss to the Seattle Mariners.
Brooks came in as a pinch hitter against left-hander Mike Myers in the ninth inning, hitting a grounder to shortstop Adam Jones. The rookie covered some ground up the middle to field the ball, and first baseman Dave Hansen couldn't quite make the catch.
It was ruled a hit, boosting Brooks to 2-for-42 in spring training games for the San Diego Padres, New York Mets and Royals. He's 1-for-3 this spring.
Fans cheered, and someone flipped the ball to the 42-year-old Brooks as he removed his helmet and left for a pinch runner. He was limping slightly, saying later that he'd aggravated a hamstring he initially pulled last week.
"I was even more surprised than the pitcher," said Brooks, whose only previous hit was a single off Mike Sirota of the Chicago White Sox on March 21, 1999.
"He might have a few days in the ice bucket," Seattle manager Bob Melvin said.

JAYHAWKS:
Kansas enters
Big 12 contest
CONTINUED FROM 1B
Sophomore guard Mike Lee finished the season with three solid defensive efforts off the bench and averaged nearly seven points per game in those contests, including a 12-point performance against Oklahoma on Feb. 29.
Freshman forward David Padgett, who had drawn criticism from fans down the regular season for lack of production, saved his team with last-second heroics against Missouri. Padgett drained a baseline jump shot with two seconds remaining to put Kansas on top, and has now given himself an emotional boost heading into his first collegiate postseason. The Jayhawks have proven over the past couple of weeks that they can get production from the bench. As they saw last season, depth after the regular season never hurts.
"David Padgett stepping up hitting that shot, that helps him a lot heading into this part of the season," Lee said. "He's got a lot of confidence back, everyone's feeling good right now, and that's big."

ENDORSEMENT: Amateurism at center of debate

For example, she said, a college football player who also played minor league baseball might be able receive endorsements for batting helmets but not batting gloves because those could also be used in football.
Another possible reform would be to allow athletes with endorsements before competing in college sports to continue receiving those endorsements once they began competition. She said in this case, just as in the other, the endorsement could not
relative to the NCAA sport the athletes were competing in.
Mason said those were just a couple of ideas that had been discussed, and that it wasn't certain what the subcommittee would do, but she expressed her belief that at least some rule change would take place.
"Something will happen," Mason said. "It's not going to go there and be denied."
Saum said he didn't have any idea what the subcommittee would do, and he didn't want be unfair to the process by speculating. He said the one foundation it would adhere to was the principle of amateurism and its value in collegiate sports.
Chancellor Robert Hemenwav, chairman of the NCAA Divi-
session I Board of Directors, agreed that the amateur status of college sports was central to this issue.
He said the continual shifting of the NCAA student-athlete endorsement polices was indicative of the pull that economics can have on college sports.
"We live in a business culture," Hemenway said. "And when a person has athletic talent, that is talent recognized in the marketplace."
Hemenway said he trusted the subcommittee to make the necessary changes, although more changes would probably be needed five years down the road because the landscape of college athletics was always changing.

Today's Birthday (March 12).
Today's birthday March 21
You can end up much stronger this year, and a lot wiser, too. You'll have a couple of tough puzzles to solve, and some of the things you try won't work. You'll get lots of practice being objective and perseverant, and that's good. It gets easier.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
Hopefully you've been able to stifle yourself for the last two days. Conditions have changed for the better, but don't leap up yet. Stay out of sight.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
You may notice a growing tendency to worry about your finances. This doesn't mean money is a problem for you, so don't work yourself into a tizy.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6.
Don't walk away from a steady job, even if it's not quite what you want. Changes are coming, some not of your making, so don't gamble with a sure thing.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is en 8.
Enough of the fun and games.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
A loved one needs your attention now, and perhaps a shoulder to cry on. A bitter disappointment can be turned into a valuable lesson. That's the assignment.
Work is stacking up. Tell a friend that you can't come and visit now because you're up against a deadline. If you're not, you soon will be.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is an 8.
you should focus more attention on hidden resources over the next few weeks. Bytrading and by shopping the sales, you can find some perfect things for your home, cheap.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
Your curiosity knows no bounds today. However, don't ask so many questions that you offend somebody important. Berespectful.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a7.
Don't race off and spend your paycheck without consulting the people at home. You may need to buy something that you don't know about yet.
You should be feeling more confident and ready to take on the world. Somebody out there will be glad to hear that, because he or she wants to join you. This weekend should be good for romance.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 6.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
a person dear to you, possibly someone at home, needs more of your attention. Schedule time over the next few days to listen and give wise advice.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 6.
A friend cheers you up, brings you good news and teaches you a new skill. And your work goes on, even if drudgingly. You may not get as far as you'd like, but you're still making progress.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is an 8.
It's OK to ask for your due if it isn't offered. The person who signs the checks may simply have forgotten. Don't put a chip on your shoulder. Be decisive and fair.

Meghan Miller is the goalie for the Kansas soccer team. Miller said, "Goalie is probably the most insane position ever. I just have a calling to be insane."
GOALIE:Dress and attitude make players unique
the team and Superior, Wis., junior, feels most like an outsider. He's not included in the celebration.
. CONTINUED FROM 1B
In high school his teammates would skate past him and tap his pads with their sticks, but not in college.
Not only do goalies face the pressure of giving their team a chance to win every game, they do it alone.
Because of the nature of their position, they are the outsiders on the team. One glance at the field or ice, and it's the goalies who stick out.
"You're so excited for your team," he said. "But no one can really tell."
In soccer and lacrosse they wear different colored jerseys than the rest of their teammates. In lacrosse they also wear a face mask and have a stick with a bigger net. In hockey the goalies wear unique padding. They have a stick with a wider blade, different skates that allow them to move from side to side in their crease and a face mask.
Goalies also train differently from the rest of the team.
This can be somewhat lonely.
"I don't have anything else to do," she said. "I might as well talk to myself."
For Miller, this is especially true during practice. Often when her team is practicing downfield, she'll look off into the distance and talk to herself.
But during a game she has mental clues to keep her focused when the action is at the other end of the field. When a player passes midfield, that's when she knows she has to be focused.
"It's impossible to focus for 90 minutes," she said. "Everybody has mental lapses in the game, but you have to learn how to snap out of those and come right back in the game."
Because maintaining focus is imperative for goalies, fans often heckle them to break their concentration.
The goalie is standing still, so fans know she can hear them, Miller said. But she isn't bothered by the heckling. She thinks it's hilarious and finds herself joining in when she's a fan.
Hey goalie, goalie
Every time Miller punts the ball at games at the University of Texas, she is greeted with chants of "you suck" from the fans.
"I heckle with the best of them," she said. "If they have any good lines, I try to steal them."
Even teammates tend to give goalies the hardest time.
McGarry gets called "sieve" as a nickname by some of his teammates. The term suggests his blocking is as effective as a sieve, which is a kitchen utensil used for
He hates the word.
"I just laugh it off," he said.
"But it bugs me a little bit."
Miller said taking crap from teammates was the hardest part of being a goalie.
"Goalies stick out," she said. "So if you mess up, of course you're going to hear about it. We get the brunt of criticisms."
Smith, who Miller said never let her live down a mistake, knows that goalies are usually mentally strong.
Despite two concussions, all the bruises and shots to the head, he wouldn't switch positions.
"We can give them a hard time," Smith said, "and they can handle it."
McGarry said he'd always found it so much more exciting to stop someone from scoring than to score himself.
Bring it on
"I love the pressure," he said
He likes the solitude of the position. He likes being the one the game comes down to.
Even after his one big glove save in the pick-up game, McGarry's teammate Schultz isn't about to trade places with him. But he does have a better appreciation for goalies.
"They are the most important players," he said.

Fires linked to KU
Police see pattern related to Watson Library blaze

LAWRENCE — Three more suspected arson fires have been linked to a series of 12 others in eastern Kansas, officials said Friday.
Friday. Two fires on Wednesday in Lawrence and one on the same day in Lenexa are related, said Larry Scott, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Investigators are testing evidence at the other fires to see if the link is definite.
Olathe Fire Department spokesman Mike Hall said the same kind of accelerant compound was used in at least six of the fires in Olathe.

Awards, donations presented

After eight months of fundraising, volunteering and rehearsing, cast members from five sororities and fraternities performed original skirts for the third and final time Saturday night.
The 55th annual Rock Chalk Revue ended in a flurry of cheering and applause at the Lied Center Saturday as the Revue's $40,000 donation was presented to the Douglas County United Way.
In a presentation immediately following the show, members of the Rock Chalk Revue Advisory Board presented the competition's 12 awards to the casts.
Award recipients were determined by a panel of judges composed of Rock Chalk alumni and individuals with a background in theater or dance. All judges had no affiliation with the University for at least five years.

Corporations help plug KU budget
By Ron Knox
rknox@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Looking for money to fund projects and programs, University administrators and staff reach deep into their pockets and pull out fistfuls of lint.
When budget cuts run too deep, as they will next year, little is left for necessary maintenance or operations.
Administrators are forced to find someone with the money to give for projects.
And it's hard to ignore large corporations when it comes to money.
CORPORATE CAMPUS SERIES
Two major corporations working or selling goods on campus are in the top 150 of Fortune 500 companies; according to Fortune's latest listings. ChevronTexaco, which is revamping lighting, heating and cooling systems on campus, is ranked 14.
This is the first part of a three-part series on corporations on campus.
Tomorrow: Coca-Cola
Wednesday: Commerce Bank
But when corporations sign contracts with institutions such as the University of Kansas, the conflict between public and private interests is often a matter of dollars and sense.

CORRECTION
STATE
Friday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article "Caucus to decide county's delegates," stated that Tom Keating, Marysville junior, said that some of the KU Young Democrats weren't interested because Kansas sends only 41 delegates to the national convention. This statement was incorrectly attributed and the information was incorrect.
Police chief says report misrepresents Topeka
TOPEKA—A report that cited FBI statistics identifying Topeka as the nation's worst small metropolitan area for crime paints an inaccurate picture of the state's capital city, Police Chief Ed Klumpp said.
Klumpp acknowledged that Topeka had a crime problem, but said Saturday that a report by Sperling's BestPlaces failed to consider differences in the way people and law enforcement agencies report crimes.
Klumpp stressed that since 1997, Topeka had seen a 31.3 percent decrease in crimes that law enforcement agencies reported to the FBI. Agencies don't have to file the reports, and some fail to do so.
Sperling's, a research firm, used statistics from the FBI's 2002 Uniform Crime Reports to pinpoint the nation's best and worst metropolitan areas for crime in its report last week.

Dodge City, Salina districts say school funding lacking
Brett Ramey, Lawrence resident, demonstrated how to make rope using doggale and stinging nettle plants yesterday at the Haskell-Baker Wetlands. Ecumenical Christian Ministries sponsored a Haskell-Baker Wetlands Immersion Trip where Ramey and Sharon Ashworth, environmental studies instructor, taught participants about history, political issues, plants and wildlife of the Wetlands.
TOPEKA—Passing a school finance plan would be difficult enough for legislators if the only question were how many more millions of dollars elementary and secondary schools need.
But the debate encompasses another huge issue — whether the formula in Kansas law for distributing state aid to school districts is fair.
Addressing only one of the two big issues will not be enough to satisfy the Salina and Dodge City school districts, which sued the state in 1999 over school finance — and it might not be enough to satisfy the Kansas Supreme Court.
Careful construction
brett
Meanwhile, legislators seem overwhelmed in trying to deal with both big problems at once.
The current budget provides $2.6 billion in aid to the 302 school districts, but the Dodge City and Salina districts argued in their lawsuit that the amount was too little. They have suggested that an increase of $1.03 billion was necessary.

100TH ANNIVERSARY
FROM THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN ARCHIVES
MARCH 15
Ten years ago
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 club held its first meeting.
The Kansan reported that 25 fans, who called themselves "misties," attended the meeting.
The club discussed the show's college tour, which would stop at the University of Kansas on April 23 that year.
Fifty years ago
The Kansan reported the start of the annual "Mr. Formal" contest at the University of Kansas. The contest determined the best formaldressed man on campus from a pool of applicants. It was sponsored by After Six Formal Wear. Prizes included a complete formal summer outfit from After Six, a lighter or a white briar pipe.
Ninety years ago
The Kansan reported an interpretation of the Board of Administration's order to ban smoking on approach to a building could effectively "banish lady nicotine from the campus." A judicial interpretation of the word "approach" would refer to sidewalks on the campus, "at least from the point where they lead exclusively to some particular building."

Spanish students react to Madrid terrorist attacks
By Marc Ingber
mingber@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Last Thursday's terrorist attacks in Madrid have hit close to home for members of the University of Kansas' Spanish population.
Bombs exploded in several areas of the Madrid railroad line last Thursday, killing 200 people and injuring about 1,500 more.
The Spanish government is still looking into who was responsible for the attacks. One group under investigation is the Spanish terrorist group ETA, but the government is also looking into other terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda.

She has family and friends who live in Madrid, and said that she passed through the Atocha train station, the site of one of the
Guilleumas said she knew one person who was injured but not severely in the attack at Atocha.
She said she felt powerless because she couldn't do anything to help from over here.
"I've talked with my friends over there and it's quite upsetting." she said. "The few images I've seen have made me think a lot. I try to stay away from the images on purpose because I know if I watch them I'll get really angry."
She said it was the terrorists' goal to make people watching the news upset.
They are looking for you to be
disrupted," she said. "I don't want them to win, and doing that will make them win."
She said most of the people she knew who lived in Spain participated in the demonstrations that went on this weekend.
"I would have too, if I had been there," she said. "It's a little way of honoring whoever was killed."
Vicente Gomis-Izquierdo, Alicante, Spain, said he also had family who lived in Madrid but no one was hurt.
"They are doing OK, but it goes to show you are not safe anywhere," Gomis-Izquierdo, a GTA in the Spanish and Portuguese department, said. "That's got to have an impact on you."
He said there was a difference being a Spaniard here in the United States and in Spain right now.
"There is no mob mentality," he said. "You are not surrounded by a whole country that is enraged."
People in United States now share a bond with people in Spain, he said.
"They are calling it the Spanish September 11," he said. "Before it was a political thing between the Spanish and U.S. governments, but now it's a lot more personal."
He said Spain will work harder than it has for the past few years to increase security.

Eyewitness shocked as driver crashes into Kwik Shop

The woman was arrested after a truck she was reportedly driving crashed through a Kwik Shop. 1846 Massachusetts St., at 1:38 a.m. Friday. Police caught up with the 1999 black Chevy truck near 17th and Vermont streets. The woman was later released on $600 bail.

As the truck began to pull up next to her, she said she thought it was going to come to a screeching halt. Instead, it crashed through the giant picture window of the Kwik Shop, plowing all the shelves to the store's back wall. Even the glass on the farthest fridge was shattered.

Plywood was used to cover a hole in the Kwik Shop at 1846 Massachusetts St. after a truck crashed through it early Friday morning. A 19-year-old driver was arrested on suspicion of operating under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident.
As the two people were doing this, Elsham said she ran behind the truck and wrote down its license plate number. Then the truck drove off, she said.
After going inside to investigate, Elsham said she saw no one was in the store and she was worried that people were trapped underneath the shelves, but she couldn't see or hear anyone.
As she was looking around, the man who had been working behind the counter returned. She said she called 911 from the store's phone because the worker was too shaken to do so.
Steven Crooks, a 22-year-old Lawrence resident, also witnessed the accident. Crooks said he had gone into the store to buy cigarettes and food, and he was almost to the counter when he heard glass shatter. He said the worker yelled at him to follow him and took off running. He said they ran out the back door and across the street because the employee was concerned the people in the truck might be trying to rob the shop.
Elsham said though she couldn't really judge, she thought the truck

Department technology fees a necessary evil
Searching for jobs is difficult but it becomes more difficult without technological knowhow.
Because many students have been victims of outdated technology, some University of Kansas schools and departments have added technology fees to department-specific credit hours.
In the face of state budget cuts, independent technology fees are the best way to keep high-tech University degrees competitive. Students benefit by getting the technology they need, and departments benefit from the
OUR VIEW
Increasing KU department fees is the only way to keep up with technology.
autonomy.
Different majors require different technological needs. A history major is not going to need the same technology and programs as a design major. In order to prevent students from bearing the burden of improving technology they will never use, school technology fees are the best solution.
The School of Engineering and the School of Architecture and Urban Design are two examples of how these fees are working. The monies from these fees have been used to directly improve technologies within the schools.
During the 2004 fiscal year, the School of Architecture and Urban Design collected $32,803 from student fees that was spent on technology immediately. The department bought computers for the Snow Hall computer lab and updated other computer equipment, such as monitors and graphic
cards. Among other items, the money was spent on purchasing a digital camera and laptop computers now available for student check-out.
As other schools come across the question of how to improve their technology, they should seriously consider school or departmental technology fees.
Students and professors will use technology supported by these fees. The money each semester will be worth it, as students have the ability to use the newest technologies in their fields.

Environment victim to President Bush
If President Bush is so set on destroying the environment before his tenure in office is up, I just wish he'd go ahead and do it already and stop drawing it out.
COMMENTARY Nobody likes to die slowly.
P.
Kevin Kampwirth opinion@kansan.com
Not only has Bush all but ignored the environmental issues that have plagued our country for the last four years, he's reversed many of the strides made by the Clinton administration to help protect the environment. For example, since taking office Bush broke a Clinton-era commitment to protect the Tongass National Forest in Alaska, the nation's largest forest at 60-million acres. Ending the commitment cleared the way for logging.
1, for one, am going to miss breathing clean air, but apparently the log shortage America is going through right now demands more attention.
Steve Sack for KRT
demands more attention. Bush also has overturned regulations that Clinton imposed that were aimed at preventing environmental damage from mining operations on public land, operations that could cause substantial, irreversible harm to the environment. Since August, the Bush administration has been trying to get around technical obstacles that would allow drilling for natural gas to begin in states such as Montana, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico.
piece of land, has other ideas.
The most recent battle is taking place in Rifle, Colo., a town 200 miles West of Denver. Beneath the Roan Plateau in this town of about 6,700 people lie 5.5-trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Bush, salivating at the thought of what the ground beneath these cliffs holds, wants drilling to start immediately. The town of Rifle, which views the area as a pristine
Meetings will be held in the coming weeks to decide whether to go ahead with mass drilling in Rifle. On one hand, drilling would create jobs and more than $100 million for the local economy. On the other, it would just add to the Bush administration trend of a methodical dismantling of any sort of regulation that aims to protect the environment.
So, what's the greater good? One way to look at it is maybe now Bush won't have to unjustifiably invade any
more Middle Eastern countries. We have a plethora of oil and natural gas deposits just sitting underground the good old U S of A, we don't need Iraq's oil anymore. Start those drills! Put up those derricks anywhere there's open space. Who needs the beauty of environment?
Hell, here's one for you, Dubya. To create some extra national income, why don't you propose a plan to start charging other countries and let them use the Grand Canyon as a garbage dump? It's just a big hole in the middle
of Arizona taking up space. Imagine the revenue possibilities. They're endless! Or, better yet, turn Yellowstone National Park into a massive parking lot so there's a place to park all those hydrogen-powered cars that you promised are in the not-to-distant future. Or was I misunderestimating when you said that?
Just get it over with already. This slow death is just too painful.

Divorced parents force rotation schedule Back-and-forth bad for children, parents
The parents' divorce ends and the child's life changes.
New schedule, week one: wake up, say good morning to Mom, get ready and leave for school.
New schedule, week two: wake up, say good morning to Dad, get ready and leave for school.
Penny D. Larson
Birdnesting or nesting is not a new idea, and it is rare, but it's gaining popularity. According to the Rosen Law Firm newsletter, a third of the people polled said they would try it. In a poll by www.divorcemagazine.com, 32 percent said they would try nesting.
This is the typical week-by-week schedule for children who are the product of birdnesting. The term is given to divorced parents that choose to raise their children together. The children stay in the house while the parents move in and out each week.
The solution is attractive because it seems natural. It allows both parents to raise the child. But divorce is not so simple.
COMMENTARY
Brandi Mathiesen
opinion@kansan.com
Nesting is the solution to the problem of weekend parenting. Weekend parenting is the usual option for divorced parents who choose joint custody. Each week the children stay with one parent, usually the mother. Every other weekend the children stay with the father. Nesting is the solution to the problem of fathers' rights. The parents who choose this option said they are doing it for the children. They want to put the children first. They want to create stability. But nesting is not a long term solution
because it requires enough money to maintain three places to live. It also requires the parents to cooperate and compromise. Parents should not invest so much in the divorce, but rather invest in the future of the children.
Nesting creates a false sense of security. It reinforces the children's fantasies of the parents getting back together. Nesting allows the children to play the parents against each other, as if divorce didn't already give them this option. It puts the control in the hands of the children. It gives the children the upper hand. Parents get lost in their guilt and they forget that they must still be parents
Nesting does not put the children first. In one sense it does create stability for the children: they don't have to move back and forth and they don't have to get comfortable in new surroundings. But it does not create a solution.
If the parents could not make a marriage work, how are they ever going to make nesting work?
after a divorce.
Divorce is hard and painful. It is one of the worst situations to put children through.
I should know.
My mother and father were divorced, remarried and divorced again. My boyfriend's parents were also divorced. I have seen how hateful parents can be towards each other.
If two people choose divorce, they should get divorced. Cut the line through the middle. They should explain to their children why they made this decision. They shouldn't hold back. They should make an agreement to leave the messy stuff between each other.
Nesting is not the solution. It is a quick fix. It is what happens when parents feel guilty about ripping the family apart.
Above all else, they should make sure that they don't put the children in the middle.

Embassy sends Haitian president's resignation to professor
Last Monday, the director of the Institute of Haitian Studies at the University of Kansas received a resignation letter written by former Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
The U.S. Department of State asked Bryant Freeman, who has more than 45 years of experience with Haitian history, culture and language, to translate the resignation letter.
Freeman has more than 45 years of experience with the Haitian history, culture and language.
The letter was written in Haitian Creole, one of the official languages of the country.

Freeman said translating the historical document was just part of his job as a specialist in the language.

says he is a lawyer. The U.S. Embassy translated the controversial passage as,
"Tonight I am resigning in order to avoid a bloodbath. I accept to leave, with the hope that there will be life and not death."
Freeman translated the same passage as, "If this evening it is my resignation which can prevent a bloodbath, I agree to leave in the hope that there will be life and not death."

Freeman took the letter, which was a faxed copy of the original letter, to his third-level Haitian Creole class Friday for his students to translate.

"I was delighted to get the actual text. I'm going to frame it," he said.
University group offers students free income tax help
Edited by Cindy Yeo
By Laura Phillips
Special to the Kansan
editor@kansan.com
For the last three years, Emily Metzger has gone to the University of Kansas' Legal Services for Students to get free help with her income taxes. After making an appointment, she would drop off her documents and wait for her refund to be automatically deposited into her bank account
"I have no idea how to do my own taxes," the Lawrence senior said. But this year Metzger and other students are finding that they have to wait a month to get an
appointment with Legal Services for Students. The office suggests students use walk-in clinics offered by KU law students instead.
Michele Kessler, associate director of Legal Services for Students, said she thought increased knowledge of the program through word of mouth was the reason Legal Services for Students has been so much busier this year.
The five walk-in sites are open to KU students and people who make less than $35,000 a year. The law students will prepare basic federal and state taxes for Kansas and Missouri residents. They cannot do international students' taxes and can do only federal taxes for residents of states other than Kansas and Missouri, Stephen Mazza, associate professor of law and faculty advisor, said.
Leslie Hendrix, who volunteered last year, has not noticed an increase in clients at the walk-in sites yet.
in sites you.
"But as April 15 approaches it becomes a mad dash," the Coffeyville third-year law student said.
Vice President
For students to qualify as volunteers, they must go through special training outside of the classroom.
While the volunteers at the law school sites work for free, the University pays the attorneys at the Legal Services for Students office. A portion of each KU student's activity fee is allocated for free legal services. After students give their information to the tax assistants, an additional week is needed before the forms are submitted. This time is used to make sure everything has been done correctly, Mazza said.
"Most of us are working on our tax certificates, which requires 20 volunteer hours over three years,"
Hendrix said. "And generally everyone has had at least one semester of tax class in law school."

Birds' numbers dwindle
Kansas conservationists worry about least tern's future
By Bill Cross
bcross@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A tiny bird that once made its summer home along rivers in Kansas has largely died out.
The Army Corps of Engineers is taking measures to halt the least tern's disappearance from Kansas waterways. The bird appears on state and national endangered species lists.
The least tern has been near extinction since the late 1800s. Because of its aesthetic appeal—least terns have sharply pointed wings, a forked tail and bright white undersides—it was hunted to adorn fancy women's hats, according to the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center.
Though that practice was outlawed over a century ago, the least terms were unable to recover their numbers because of habitat loss at interior waterways such as the Kaw and Arkansas rivers.
The birds flocked to Kansas after the floods of 1993. William Busby, associate scientist with the Kansas Biological Survey, said the post-flood conditions were ideal for the small birds, which make their homes on sandbars.
Since then, Busby said, conditions have become worse. Sandbars are washing away, and vegetation, which attracts predators, has begun to re-appear near natural habitats.
"It was great for terms because they love nesting in sites with no vegetation." Busby said at Thursday's Water and the Future of Kansas Conference in Lawrence.
Busby said conditions for the least tern have worsened by the construction of dams and other man-made water controls. He said water control has affected the water levels responsible for sandbar formation.
The Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center said human interference with breeding and nesting
was an important factor. Sand-bars are used for recreation, a fishing spot or a campground. Humans can easily and inadvertently kill the tiny eggs.
The Army Corps of Engineers has posted signs, erected fences and built habitats for the least tern. Busby said the fences and signs deter predators and humans, and the habitats save some terms from flooding. The habitats are man-made sand-bars.
Despite these efforts, the bird will not thrive without a natural habitat, Busby said. Sandbars are created by high spring river flows followed by low summer flows, according to American Rivers, a conservation group.

The efforts of the Army Corps of Engineers have helped prevent extinction, but Busby said water management would continue to cause problems.

Officials object to insecticide ban
By Bill Cross
bcross@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
An ozone-eating insecticide is being phased out, but farmers and government officials say the agriculture industry can't go on without it.
The United States' use of methyl bromide, used primarily to fumigate soil before planting crops, is to be phased out by next year, according to the Montreal Protocol of 1991. The protocol called for decreased use of the fumigant beginning in 1999. The United States filed a request to exceed its quota of the chemical with the United Nations last week, insisting that the chemical was essential.
Kansas State University's Kansas Pesticide Newsletter said the United States could be at a competitive disadvantage because
underdeveloped countries, such as Mexico, have until 2015, to phase out methyl bromide.
David Braaten, associate geography professor at the University of Kansas, said methyl bromide was one of the most destructive chemicals for the earth's ozone laver.
"It is more efficient, molecule for molecule, at destroying ozone than the chlorine that comes from CFCs." he said.
CFCs, or chlorofluorocarbons, include fumes from aerosol and air-conditioning fluid and are commonly associated with ozone layer depletion. Braaten said CFCs, despite being less potent, have a greater long-term effect on the ozone layer.
"Methyl bromide has an atmospheric lifetime of 0.7 years, so phasing it out would show results quickly," Braaten said. He said the CFCs that have been
banned stay in the atmosphere more than 100 years.
Methyl bromide is still widely used because of its low cost and multiple uses: It kills insects, fungus, weeds and other crop-threatening pathogens, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Fields now fumigated with only methyl bromide will have to be fumigated with a variety of chemicals to have similar effects.
Several alternatives have been pioneered and are widely used.
According to Kansas State's Consortium for Integrated Management of Stored Product Insect Pests, non-chemical methods are gaining popularity. For example, harvested crops and farm equipment can be heated or stored at extremely low pressure to kill insects and nematodes that damage crops. These methods are not useful for large-scale fumigation.
Braaten, who studies the geography of ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, said he supported the use of any viable alternative.
Tom Batchelor, a member of the of the Methyl Bromide Subcommittee on the United Nations Environment Programme, said the fumigant is dangerous to the ozone because it breaks down ozone molecules, O3, into oxygen gas, O2.
Mary Beth Kirkham, professor of crop physiology at Kansas State, said that she was aware of the problems caused by methyl bromide and that plastic tents used to trap in methyl bromide may not be effective.
Low-level aquifer threatens seven states' fertile farmland
"We do need to control gaseous emissions. The Montreal Protocol was a step in the right direction."
Kirkham said the United States was not close to realistically phasing out the fumigant.

Western Kansas' main source of crop irrigation is starting to run dry.
The High Plains/Ogallala Aquifer, an underground reservoir of water-soaked sand and gravel, can no longer supply as many farm wells with enough water, said Gary Hecox of Shaw Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc.
"Large areas of wells could have problems in 10 to 20 years," he said.
Hecox spoke at Thursday's Water and the Future of Kansas
Conference in Lawrence, where topics included fecal bacteria in the waterways, animals threatened by flood control, silt buildup in the state's surface water and resistant waste created by medical waste. William Busby, associate scientist with the Kansas Biological Survey, said he welcomed the opportunity to have an open forum about these issues and more.
The management of the High Plains/Ogallala Aquifer was the dominant topic.
water. This could change the farming business in western Kansas.
"We may see a shift to lower water-use crops like milo, sunflowers and wheat," he said.
Norman Klocke, professor and irrigation engineer at Kansas State University, agreed. He said the farmers whose wells were running dry during the growing season had two options: put less water on one crop, or raise several crops that require less irrigation.
Like a water-soaked sandbox built on a mountain range, the aquifer lies on the earth's bedrock. The sand and gravel soak up the water, and once full,
spew water into streams and rivers. At least that's what used to happen. Now most of the water is pumped out.
Drinking water supplies are also threatened by aquifer depletion. Cristi Hansen, hydrologist
"It's like a big bucket," Hecox said. "It used to run over and make streams, but now everyone put their own straw into the bucket and started sucking it dry."
John Huslig, financial analyst for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, said the aquifer is close to one third of its original capacity. It was first tapped in 1912. Huslig owns a farm in western Kansas.
for the United States Geological Survey, said the aquifer also supplied drinking water to some cities and towns, including Wichita.
Hansen said climate and the shape of the underlying bedrock were the most important factors in determining the life of a well. More rainfall had a double-positive effect, she said. It refills the aquifer and lessens the need for watering. Dry summers have contributed to depletion during the last years.
While other crop options are available, none are as profitable as corn, Huslig said, so farmers are hesitant to shift to other crops.
Hecox said water overuse was
the single biggest factor contributing to depletion — much more so than climate or bedrock topography. He said farmers with water problems should consider growing less corn. Hecox said he did not anticipate noticeable effects on the national market for corn, since he made his recommendations to only a few counties in northwest Kansas.
Depletion of the aquifer threatens the most fertile farm land in parts of Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, South Dakota and Wyoming.

BUDGET: University makes deal with corporation
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Lights, Chevron, Action
On the jagged slope between Stauffer-Flint Hall and Dole Human Development Center, yellow back-hoes move mounds of mud from the base of the University's central air conditioner.
For years, several air conditioners cooled water on campus. They were located all over, working at less-than-full power to cool their area's water.
Facilities Operations knew it cost more than necessary. Any machine running at half its capacity isn't as efficient as it could be.
The water chillers were just the tip of the iceberg. The lights bulbs on campus would cost too much to burn.
An old boiler wasn't worth the money Facilities Operations poured into it.
For years, the University has asked the state for money to help repair and replace the equipment without ever seeing a cent, said Theresa Klinkenberg, chief financial officer for business and financial planning.
But the work couldn't wait. University administration asked several corporations to bid on a project that would get the work done at nearly no immediate cost to the University.
"If the savings are true, it's fine. If they're not, we'll have to figure out

Associate director of Facilities
Operations
ChevronTexaco answered the call. Chevron officials signed a performance contract with the University, stating it would do the necessary work at no cost up front, so long as the University reimbursed the $18 million Chevron's work will cost.
Chelton "It's a different financing tool, because the state doesn't have any money," said Steve Green, associate director of Facilities Operations.
Operations.
The $18 million in revamped utilities will cover a portion of the University's $150 million in deferred maintenance —maintenance money shortages left incomplete, said James Long, vice-provost for Facilities Operations.
And Kansas isn't the only university suffering.
According to an Association of Higher Education Facilities Operations study, American universities and colleges would need $26 billion to cover their
These costs include failing utility systems and worn-out buildings — urgent need areas. So when states can't pay, universities sign contracts with corporations like Chevron to cover the initial cost.
total deferred maintenance costs.
To pay back Chevron, the Board of Regents and University administrators successfully lobbed for a bond issue in the Legislature last year. Now the University has 20 years to pay back the money.
According to a State of Kansas program study, the improvements to the electrical and heating and cooling systems will generate $1.7 million in savings every year.
every year.
If that holds true, the bond should be paid back in less than 11 years.
Now, just three months away from completion of all aspects of the project. Facilities Operations must wait and see if the savings will transfer from paper to reality.
"If the savings are true, it's fine. If they're not, we'll have to figure out a way to make the payments," Green said.
At the University of Utah, which also signed a performance contract with Chevron to revamp their utilities, the savings have been true.
Pete van der Have, plant operations director at Utah, told Long last July that Utah had reinvested 95 percent of projected savings to pay Chevron and had exceeded their estimated savings with the new Chevron systems.
"We've taken a risk," Green said, referring to the 20-year debt the bond issue created. "But it looks like a good risk to me."
The risk does come with its drawbacks, Green said.
To help pay for the debt, University administration will remove $108,000 from Facilities Operations' annual budget.
The money will come primarily from the electricity and refrigeration and air conditioning budgets, Green said.
mgbudget,
Those budgets combined
equaled just less than
$190,000.
Long calls the budget reductions "savings" because the new equipment means it will require less maintenance in the future.
But Chevron didn't revamp all electrical and cooling systems on campus.
If something breaks down or needs repairs, the money will either come from other areas of Facilities Operations' budget or be deferred again, Green said.
"It's a little staggering to think about," Green said.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 15).
Don't be dismayed by a shortage of cash. It's a temporary condition. True love sometimes gets stronger when gratification has to be delayed. Concentrate on your studies and develop your natural talents.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 5.
Keep your mind on business a while longer. It'll be well worth your time. You can make a hefty profit.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 10.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 5.
You're gentle yet forceful, compassionate yet practical. That's why your friends are willing to let you take the lead. Push ahead.
If you're in the process of pinching pennies, it's probably because you want to get something for your home. You'd like to get the best, but at low cost. Follow through on a tip.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an 8.
Although you're in a pretty good
mood, you still might clash with the boss. An older person is being unreasonably sensitive, in your opinion. It isn't wise to point that out, however.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a5.
Sure, there's a lot of work involved. Nobody said it would be easy to make all your dreams for the future come true. Even rose gardens have thorns.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 9.
You've always known that you don't have to tell everyone everything. You're naturally reserved about your personal life, and that's perfect for now. Bewildly in love, but in private.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 5.
A renovation may cost more than initially planned. If you're going for better quality, though, this looks like a good investment.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is an 8.
You're willing to try something new, and your luck looks pretty
good. This isn't a gamble. It's more like a calculated risk.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 5.
If you do the work, you'll get the money. There may be more of both than you thought, so don't rest on your shovel.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is a 9.
You're brilliant and loving, but you're still having trouble getting your point across. Admit it, you're not in control of everything.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 6.
you'll be feeling a little more pressure to address the items on your to-do list. That means it's time to stop being a coach and get back to being a player.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 9.
your friends understand where you're coming from, even if some other people don't. Don't snap at a person who's getting annoying. You'll look better if you stay calm.

A night of celebration
Carnaval features Tambores of Brazil

With a Brazilian-flag bandanna, wrapped around her head, Josi Lima stood on the dance floor at Abe & Jake's Landing Saturday night, waiting for the party to start.
The dance floor began to fill up once the bar started pumping Brazilian music through the speakers. Once the band, Tambores of Brazil, started playing the floor soon became occupied.
"Carnaval for us is the best week of the year," said Lima, a sophomore from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The Brazilian Student Association, or BRASA, attracted people from all over the region for its annual Carnaval celebration at Abe & Jake's Landing, E.8 Sixth St. BRASA sold all of its 900 tickets by 6 p.m., three hours before the doors opened. For those who got in, it was a chance to dance and celebrate Brazilian culture all nibbit
Shades of green and yellow were seen everywhere, as people sported the Brazilian flag on their shirts, tank-tops, bandannas and even skirts.
The band, which featured three percussionists, kept the rhythm going the entire time it was out there, while singer Dandara danced all over the stage, urging the crowd to clap, sing and dance along.
This was Tambores of Brazil's first time playing for Carnaval in Lawrence.
Livia Theodoro, Rio de Janeiro senior and BRASA president, said she was satisfied with the results.
"The band is doing a really good job, we sold all of our tickets and people are having a good time," she said.
Brian Raggett, Overland Park senior, who was celebrating his
first Carnaval, said it was different from the typical Lawrence scene.
"It's crazy" he said as he surveyed the dance floor.
Al Qaeda link in bombing
Edited by Cindy Yeo
The Associated Press
MADRID, Spain — One of the three Moroccans arrested in the Madrid train bombings was a follower of a suspected Al Qaeda member jailed in Spain for allegedly helping plan the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States, according to court documents reviewed by The Associated Press.
It was the latest suggestion that Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda terrorist group may have been involved in the bombings.
The indictment, led by Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon, showed police had searched Zougam's home at least once, turning up a video of mujaheddin fighters in Dagestan, Russia, and telephone numbers of three members of the Madrid Al Qaeda cell allegedly led by Yarkas.
A Sept. 17, 2003, indictment calls Jamal Zougam, 30, a "fellower" of Imad Yarkas, the alleged leader of Spain's Al Qaeda cell who was jailed for allegedly helping plan the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington. Yarkas, whose alias is Abu Dahdah, remains in Spanish custody.
costly.
The indictment targets Yarkas and 54 others, including bin Laden, for terrorist activities connected to Al Qaeda. Zougam was not indicted.
Zougam is one of three Moroccan and two Indians arrested in the Thursday attacks, which killed 200 people and wounded 1,500. Officials said phones were apparently used as detonators on the 10 bombs that tore through four rush-hour trains.
ing the interior ministry, reported all three Moroccans have links to Yarkas. Authorities in Morocco said they could not comment on the report.
Zougam was one of thousands of Moroccan put under surveillance by authorities after May terrorist bombings in the coastal city of Casablanca that killed 33 people and 12 bombers, a Moroccan official told AP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The official said he was suspected of ties to international terror groups. There were no formal accusations against him, and the official did not say to which groups Zougam may be linked.
The tape was discovered in a trash bin near Madrid's largest mosque on the eve of elections Sunday, which the ruling conservative party lost in a dramatic upset by the Socialists. An Arabic-speaking man called a Madrid TV station to say the tape was there, Spain's Interior Ministry said.
Spain's El Pais newspaper, cit-
European intelligence agencies were also working Sunday to identify a purported Al Qaeda operative who claimed in a videotape that the terror group bombed trains in Madrid to punish Spain's backing of the U.S.-led war against Iraq.
"You love life and we love death," said the man on the tape, who wore Arab dress and spoke Arabic with a Moroccan accent.
The man said the taped claim of responsibility for the bombing of four commuter trains came from "the military spokesman for Al Qaeda in Europe, Abu Dujan al Afghani."
The Interior Ministry released details about its contents, and intelligence agents were trying to
identify the man, verify his claims and establish Abu Dujan al Afehani's identity.
"Our reservations about the credibility remain," Spanish Interior Minister Angel Acebes said Sunday.
In France, which has combated Islamic terrorism for years, an intelligence official said the name al Afghani is likely a pseudonym. The name al Afghani could mean the person is of Afghan origin or has some association with the country.
U. S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said it was too early to say if Al Qaeda was responsible.
Moroccan security experts arrived in Spain on Sunday to help in the investigation. Morocco's Interior Ministry said the experts were members of a team that has already spent nearly a year working with Spanish officials on the investigation into Casablanca's terror bombings.
The Casablanca bombings were blamed on Salafia Jihadia, a secretive, radical Islamic group suspected of links to Al Qaeda.
The other two Moroccan suspects, Mohamed Bekkali, 31, a mechanic, and Mohamed Chaoui, a worker, 34, have no police record at home, the official said.
The Spanish interior minister, however, said three of the suspects had previous records, and one was under investigation for suspected participation in murder. He earlier had said that one suspect might also have connections with Moroccan extremist groups. He gave no further details.
The interior ministry identified the two Indian suspects as Vinay Kohly and Suresh Kumar.

Sprinter takes 1st in NCAA
"All of the odds were against him," Redwine said. "He did an exceptional job and I am really proud of him."
By Michael Phillips

Kansan sportswriter
After his victory Saturday, Bookman became the third Jayhawk ever to defend an NCAA indoor title. The last was Karl Salb in the 1969-71 shotput.
Kansas senior Leo Bookman won the NCAA indoor national championship Saturday after he ran the fastest 200-meter dash in the world this year.
Bookman defeated hometown favorite Tyson Gay at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Ark., to clinch the championship. His time of 20.42 seconds is the fastest time in the world this year, according to the International Association of Athletics Federation.
The championship was Bookman's second indoor title in a row. Bookman won the NCAA indoor and outdoor 200-meter dash last year.
After the meet, Coach Stanley Redwine said Bookman's victory was impressive because it took place in Gay's hometown.
Bookman will now turn his attention to qualifying for the Olympics. He plans on redshirting for the rest of this year's track season to focus solely on that goal."
"I'm going to give my body time to rest." Bookman said, "and make sure I'm fresh and I'm peaking when the Olympic trials come."
Olympics that comes If Bookman qualifies for the Olympics he would still be eligible to run for Kansas during next year's spring season. Bookman, a senior, did not run track his first year at Kansas, originally coming to the University as a football player. Eventually he gave up the gridiron to concentrate on track.
Bookman faces a difficult task in qualifying for the Olympics. The time needed to make the U.S. Olympic team could be less than twenty seconds. Bookman's — and the world's best time this year was 20.42 seconds, but outdoor track times typically are faster than indoor times.
Bookman said he would continue to have the same attitude towards qualifying for the Olympic team as he has toward track this season at Kansas.
Bookman's next stop will be in Sacramento, Calif., for the U.S. Olympic trials.
"I hate losing," he said. "I'm a competitor, and all I want to do is win."

Preparing for madness
Kansas seeded fourth, will play in Kansas City, Mo.
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan Sportswriter
As fate often does, the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee works in funny ways sometimes.
After the Jayhawks lost in Saturday's Big 12 Conference Tournament Semifinals to the Texas Longhorns, the chances of Kansas playing its opening round games in Kansas City's Kemper Arena and having a home-crowd atmosphere appeared slim. But apparently the Jayhawks had impressed the committee enough before the loss by winning 21 games with the nation's seventh toughest schedule to earn a four-seed and play in their backyard this Friday against University of Illinois-Chicago.
Coach Bill Self said there was some element of surprise present as the Jayhawks watched the selection show Sunday evening in Lew Perkins' suite at Memorial Stadium, but the shock has worn off.
"I was breaking it down this morning and I thought that looking at the RPI and the rankings and things like that, that we were right at that 15-16-17 team," Self said. "I wasn't shocked that we got a four-seed, but obviously it worked out nice that we were able to stay at home. But then again, it's more about matchups than where you play."
Looking at those matchups, Kansas has a tough road to travel in an attempt to make a third consecutive Final Four appearance. The Jayhawks' opening round opponent, the Horizon League champion UIC Flames, will come into the game as one of the nation's hottest teams, riding a 12-game winning streak. Self is 1-0 in his career against UIC and coach Jimmy Collins, having defeated the Flames in his first year at Illinois. Collins, a long-time assistant at Illinois before Self's arrival, knows the Kansas coach well, as they have crossed paths many times while recruiting in the Chicago area.
Should the Jayhawks get by the
Flames, they will face the winner of Friday's Providence and Pacific game. Pacific won the Big West conference tournament Saturday night, and the Providence Friars are a dark horse to make a run to the Final Four. Providence has won games against powers such as Syracuse, Illinois and Connecticut this season and boasts one of the nation's top forwards in Ryan Gomes, who averages 18.6 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. Other teams in Kansas' region include SEC champ Kentucky, No. 14 Georgia Tech and No. 3 Gonzaga.
"It's a tough region," junior guard Aaron Miles said. "But every region has tough teams in it. You can't complain."
Kansas did not complain last season when it was stuck in a West Region that included national powers such as Duke and Arizona, and the Jayhawks prevailed. If Kansas is to leave its region triumphantly this

Longhorns shut down Simien
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan Sports writer
DALLAS — Kansas junior guard Mike Lee was asked in the locker room if playing the opening rounds of this week's NCAA Tournament in Kansas City, Mo., mattered.
During the past two weeks, the topic has been discussed repeatedly. It was evident that the players were sick of hearing about it when junior forward Wayne Simien, dressing next to Lee, let out a rare sigh of disgust.
Kansas was more successful Friday night against Missouri. See story on page 8B.

Thankfully for the Jayhawks, they will stay close to home. Last night, the NCAA tournament's selection committee placed the Jayhawks in the Kansas City, Mo., sub-regional.
Where the team would play later this week was the furthest thing from the Jayhawks' minds following their 64-60 loss to Texas in the Big 12 Conference Tournament semifinals. Kansas' performance against Texas was completely different from the night before, when the Jayhawks whipped the Missouri Titers 94-69.
"A loss like this, it can deflate you, but we're tough enough to bounce back from it," junior guard Aaron Miles said. "We can't gonna let it mess with us at all."

The Jayhawks' solid play led to a sweep of the Trojans at Hoglund Ballpark: 16-1, 14-2 and 9-1. The sweep moved the team to 18-8-1 on the season while Arkansas-Little Rock fell to 6-7.
The Kansas baseball team proved to be more than Arkansas-Little Rock could handle in this weekend's threegame series.
"This might be as good of a home stand as we've ever had," coach Ritch Price said. "That's about as good as we can play offensively."
Senior Ryan Knipschild (4-2) turned in an impressive performance on Friday, allowing only one run. Knipschild earned his fourth victory of the season.
He was followed by strong starts on Saturday and Sunday by juniors Clint Schambach (2-0) and Mike Zagurski
"This might be as good of a home stand as we've ever had. That's about as good as we can play offensively."

Dale Earnhardt Jr. claims easy victory in Georgia
HAMPTON, Ga. — One of the worst runs of his career probably helped Dale Earnhardt Jr. save his season.
A week after he nearly was parked for running too slow, Junior zoomed by Jeremy Mayfield with 15 laps to go and sprinted to an easy victory yesterday in the Golden Corral 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
He also won the season-opening Daytona 500.
"Last week was as bad as it ever gets," Earnhardt said. "But we didn't get on each other too bad, and we stayed pretty focused."
Rookie Kasey Kahne was third and Jimmie Johnson and Ryan Newman followed him across the finish line.
Defending series champ Matt Kenseth rallied from a lap down to finish sixth.
At Las Vegas last Sunday, Earnhardt started 26th and quickly drifted to the rear of the field at the start. His Chevrolet was so far off the pace that NASCAR warned his crew he was right at the min imum speed.
After eventually finishing 35th, Earnhardt and the team spent Thursday testing at Kentucky Speedway. Just as their session was ending, they hit on a setup that worked, and Earnhardt was fast all weekend at Atlanta.
"We went testing, and we're going testing this week," Earnhardt said. "We're going to test, test, test, until we lap the field."

University commemorates Wheaties song tradition
For years, The University of Kansas band has played the Wheaties song at home basketball games when opposing players foul out.
Now, they can own a special Wheaties box to commemorate the tradition.
The University of Kansas Alumni Association is selling the boxes under an agreement with Wheaties producer General Mills.

The boxes have a Jayhawk illustration on the front and contain a "Wave the Wheat" T-shirt and a blinking Jayhawk instead of cereal.
They went on sale last week, and the first batch of 2,500 already sold out said Jennifer Sanner, senior vice-president of communications for the Alumni Association.
Pre-orders for the next shipment are available on the Internet at the association's website and at the Adams Alumni Center, she said.
Sanner said the association usually came out with a Jayhawks T-shirt at NCAA tournament time, but this year decided to do something a little different
She said the idea for the Wheaties box was inspired by the controversy that the Wheaties song had gained this year at basketball games, in terms of whether NCAA rules permitted the song to be played.
She said the cereal box was a good way to affirm the song's tradition.
Once the association had the idea, General Mills was a more than agreeable partner, she said.
Sanner said the boxes would be on sale through the NCAA tournament.
"We hope to offer them as long as folks want them." Sanner said.

Cavaliers win sixth straight
LeBron James scores 26 as strong team play may clinch playoff spot
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — There's no longer any doubt: the Cleveland Cavaliers are for real.
LeBron James scored 26 points and forced Ron Artest to take a tough 3-pointer as the final horn sounded, leading the Cavaliers to their sixth straight win, 107-104 yesterday over the Indiana Pacers.
Zydrunas Ilguaskas made two free throws with 36 seconds left and forced a big turnover seconds later for the Cavs, who improved to 10-3 since the All-Star break.
Many of those wins have come against some of the NBA's weaker teams, but by beating the NBA-leading Pacers, Cleveland strengthened its hold on a playoff spot and legitimized an improbable turnaround season.
The Cavs (30-36), who won just 17
games last season, have won six in a row for the first time since Dec. 5-16.2000
Jermaine O'Neal had 32 points for the Pacers, who had their seven-game winning streak stopped. Indiana lost in Gund Arena for the first time since 1998 after winning 12 in a row.

Both teams played
Both teams play with a playoff-like intensity and performed as if there was something bigger on the line.
And only the 20,562 fans were lucky enough to see it as the matchup wasn't shown on TV in either Indianapolis or Cleveland because of a network blackout.
Fittingly, the see-saw game came down to Indiana's final possession.
James
After Ilgauskas' two free throws made
it 107-104, the 7-foot-3 center who was benched earlier this season for his weak defense stopped O'Neal on the baseline and forced him to dribble the ball off his knee and out of bounds.
Cavs guard Jeff McMinnis made the second of two free throws with 18 seconds left, setting up a wild sequence. Indiana's Jamaal Tinsley missed a 3-pointer, Al Harrington came up with the rebound after a scramble in the lane and James accidentally bowled over referee Luis Grillo.
Indiana then set up for a final play with four seconds left, but Artest never got a good look with James in his face and misfired on his 3-pointer as time expired.
The Cavs didn't score a field goal in the final 3:24 and Indiana had just one over the last 4:15 as both team buckled down defensively.
Unknown steals win in Honda Classic
The Associated Press
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Todd Hamilton took 17 years to fulfill his dream of playing on the PGA Tour. It felt like sheer fantasy yesterday in the Honda Classic.
"This is a dream come true," Hamilton said. "There's probably a lot of other golfers who deserve it more talent-wise, but I guarantee you no one will appreciate it more than I will."
Hamilton closed out his third round with a 15-foot birdie putt.
While he was coming off a four-win season in Japan, the former All-American at Oklahoma had never been in this position.
Not bad for a guy who was living in obscurity on the Japanese tour last year, despite winning four times, and who spent the last 12 years toiling in the Far East.
At times, he played like it.
Hamilton made one bogey from the bunker, two others by missing the green, and his four-shot lead was down to one.
Just when it looked like he would fall apart, Hamilton kept it together with a remarkable short game.
---
-
He teft himself 50 feet from the hole on No.14, but rolled in a 7-foot par putt. He missed the green well to the right on the par-3 15th, but knocked it up to 3 feet for another par that kept him in the game.
Hamilton ended the suspense with the most crucial 8-iron of his life.
The key putt came on the 17th.
Hamilton left his putt 10 feet short. But the birdie tied him with Love, and it looked as though the Honda Classic was headed for a playoff.

Softball team wins two,loses two in SIU Round Robin
By Jonathan Kealing
jkealing@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
It wasn't quite a homerun, but maybe it could be called a double.
The Kansas softball team (15-8) went 1-2, with one game tied in the bottom on the tenth at press time, in this weekend's first annual Saluki Round Robin at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
This season, Kansas has won nine games in tournaments located at neutral sites.
In the second game of the double-header, Kansas faced 2003 Sweet Sixteen team, and tournament host SIU. The Salukis started the game with a single right up the middle. They would score one in the first.
That was as close at the Jayhawks would come, as SIU added another run in the top of the seventh, while Kansas could only notch one point in the bottom.
The score remained frozen at 1-0 until the top of the sixth, when SIU would drive in another two. Kansas answered SIU's two with one of their own when Frankenstein drove in senior center fielder
Mel Wallach.
Day two proved to be substantially more successful for the team, as they went 1-0, with one game still undecided.
The lahayhus started the day with a victory against Illinois State, 4-3. Neither team scored until Wallach singled to left in the top of the sixth, driving in a run.
DePaul scored two runs in the top of the first inning. Kansas would score a run, and add two more in the fifth to take a 3-2 lead. DePaul roared back to life in the top of the seventh with two runs, allowing the Blue Demons a 4-3 victory.
Illinois State tied the game in the bottom of the seventh to send the game into extra innings.
Day one of the tournament was unfriendly to the Jayhawks, who went 0-2. Facing 2003 Conference USA champion DePaul, the team trailed immediately.

Athletes serve community
By Joe Bant

When Maegen Himes first became involved in the University of Kansas Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, she wasn't really sure what she was getting herself into.
But the senior swimmer was interested in the program. Her team needed to nominate two members to participate, so she ended up being one of them.
Now, almost four years later, she has not looked back since.
"I just got kind of wrapped up in it." Himes said.
She said what compelled her to stick with the program were the opportunities it provided for student-athletes to represent themselves to the administration and help the community through service.
Service is a big part of the SAAC program at Kansas, and the athletes are always involved in some sort of community project, she said.
in Wagnon Student-Athlete Center.
Two weeks ago, they helped children in Read Across America. They have an upcoming program where they'll take children to softball games. Now, they are selling a cookbook to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. The cookbook can be purchased
Himes was a big part of the cookbook process. Entitled Rockchalk Recipe, it features favorite recipes of past and present Kansas athletes, ranging from basketball great and Kansas assistant coach Danny Manning to spinner Leo Bookman to Himes, who has two recipes in the book.
Phil Lowcock said it could be one of the biggest fundraisers SAAC has done. As director of the student-athlete life skills program, Lowcock coordinates SAAC.
He said the cookbook, which went on sale last week, should appeal to a wide variety of fans because it has recipes from athletes of all eras.
"It gives you insight into a side of a student-athlete you haven't seen." Lowcock said.
SAAC is about more than service and fundraisers. It is also a way for athletes to organize themselves into a voice that can be heard by the athletics administration and the NCAA.
"SAAC has this leverage that people don't realize," said Chris Jones, a junior on the track team and SAAC member. "We're there to speak for all the athletes."
broader level than just the University. It represents athletes at the conference level and at the NCAA level.
It has exercised its influence on a number of NCAA reform initiatives, playing a role in reviews of student-athlete scholarship policies and endorsing legislation.
enrolrng Himes cited the example of collegiate athletics' 20-hour practice rule.
SAAC exists at a much
The rule restricts athletes from practicing more than 20 hours a week. Himes said the NCAA was looking at reducing that time, but the resistance of SAAC at least temporarily stopped it from doing anything.
Jones said he didn't believe athletes took advantage enough of SAAC and the influence it provided. He said the organization of the committee allowed athletes to be represented in a way they couldn't as individuals.
It also allows athletes a chance to expand beyond their roles in sports. For Himes, this means helping out the people who help her to be an athlete.
"The fans are the community," Himes said. "By giving back to the community, it's kind of like saying thanks."

Kentucky overpowers Florida in tournament
ATLANTA — Chuck Hayes scored 23 points and the eighth-ranked Kentucky Wildcats romped to another title in the Southeastern Conference tournament, beating the Florida Gators 89-73 yesterday to make a strong case for being a top seed in the NCAA tournament.
Kentucky (26-4) dismantled the Gators (20-10) for the second time in a week, following up a 20-point win at Rupp Arena to close the regular season.
With the game less than 4 minutes old, the Wildcats grabbed their first double-digit lead at 14-4. They led by as many as 15 points in the first half before settling for a 49-37 halftime lead. Florida only got that close because Matt Walsh hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Any thoughts the Gators had of mounting a comeback were quickly eradicated when they missed their first seven shots after halftime. Kentucky started 0-of-6, then got rolling. Hayes scored with 15:38 remaining to make it 54-40, a precursor of all the easy baskets to come.
Kelena Azubuike, the least- heralded of Kentucky's starters, had another strong game especially in those early, tone-setting minutes. He had 18 points and a team-high nine rebounds.
Walsh led the Gators with 17 points, but this was another disappointment in an up-and-down season. Florida still made the NCAA tournament but hardly lived up to the promise from early in the season, when the Gators climbed to No. 1 in the rankings for one week.

Oklahoma State defeats Texas, wins Big 12 title
DALLAS — Surprise winners of the Big 12 regular season, the Oklahoma State Cowboys didn't let up in the conference tournament.
With three transfers and two holdovers blending into the seventh-ranked team in the nation, the Cowboys continued their combination of tenacious defense and athleticism to beat No.11 Texas 65-49 yesterday to win their first Big 12 tournament title.
Tony Allen scored 21 points and led a defense that kept the Longhorns without a field goal for nearly 14 of the final 15 minutes, turning a three-point game into a rout.
Texas was down 16 points in the opening minutes this time, but chipped away to get within 42-39 with 14:48 left on a three-point play by Jason Klotz.
Allen, the tournament MVP and the coaches' pick for conference player of the year, set the tone by holding Brandon Mouton, Texas' leading scorer, to more turnovers (four) than field goals (three). Mouton scored six points.
Klotz was the only consistent performer for the Longhorns, scoring 15 points on 6-of-12 shooting. Thomas was the next-leading scorer with just nine points, five from the line.
In beating Texas for a fourth straight time, Oklahoma State became the league's first winner of the regular season and conference tournament since Iowa State in 2000. The Longhorns fell to 0-2 in Big 12 title games.

Illinois goes cold, falls to red-hot Wisconsin
INDIANAPOLIS — Devin Harris scored 29 points and the Wisconsin Badgers held Illinois to a season-low 32.7 percent shooting to win their first Big Ten tournament title 70-53 yesterday
Harris was 10-of-16 from the field and scored No. 10 Wisconsin's first 11 points of the second half to help snap 12th-ranked Illinois' 12-game winning streak.
Harris, the junior who was named the tournament's most outstanding player, punctuated Sunday's win with an explosive alley-oop dunk as the Wisconsin
faithful chanted "One more year! One more year!"
Both teams were shoo-ins for the NCAA tournament and were more interested in a higher seed than the automatic bid that goes to the tournament winner.
Dee Brown was Illinois' only effective offensive player. He scored 15 points on 6-of-12 shooting. His teammates were 10-for-37 from the field (27 percent).
Mike Wilkinson added 11 points and eight rebounds for Wisconsin, which led by as many as 21 points in the second half.
The Illini appeared lethargic on Sunday against Wisconsin, too often settling for jump shots that fell short. They were also outrebounded 34-27 and outscored 12-2 on fast break points.
Deron Williams added 14 points for Illinois.
Wisconsin was more balanced. Harris had nine points and Wilkinson added eight to help the Badgers take a 35-23 halftime lead.
Illinois shot 29 percent in the first half. Brown kept Illinois in the game with 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting. His teammates managed just 12 points on 3-of-18 shooting.

Junior breaks record; UConn takes Big East
NEW YORK — Ben Gordon scored 23 points to lead Connecticut to its record-tying sixth Big East conference tournament title with its victory over Pittsburgh Saturday.
The junior guard was the star for the Huskies (27-6) in the first two games when center Emeka Okafor was out with back spams. Gordon struggled with his shooting in the championship game, but it was his jumper in the lane with 30 seconds left that gave Connecticut a 59-58 lead. Gordon then added two free throws with 0.5 seconds to play to cap the victory.
- The Associated Press
Gordon had 29 points in each of the first two games and set a tournament record for points with 81, two more than Allen Iverson of Georgetown had in 1996.
Stanford gets revenge defeats Washington
LOS ANGELES — Matt Lottich had 20 points, six rebounds and five assists, and Stanford defeated Washington to win its first Pac-10 tournament title and a berth to the NCAA tournament for the 10th consecutive season.
Josh Childress, the Pac-10 player of the year and tourney MVP, added 14 points and nine rebounds. Justin Davis had 13 points and Kirchofer had 11 points and eight rebounds.
A week ago, Washington (19- 11) spoiled Stanford's bid for a perfect season with a 75-62 victory in Seattle.
Nate Robinson, the 5-foot-9 guard led the Huskies with 16 points and five assists. Bobby Jones and Mike Jensen added 11 points each.

Bobbitt recovers to lead Bearcats past Depaul
The 13th-ranked Bearcats (24-6) survived a tumultuous second half—a technical foul, an ejection,a wild last minute—to get their fourth tournament title. They also won a share of the regular season championship.
Bobbitt left the game after LeVar Seals hit him in the groin with 8:22 left, drawing an ejection. When he recovered from the low blow, Bobbitt returned and made a pivotal 3-pointer and a driving lay-in that clinched it. He was voted the tournament's MVP, finishing with a team-high 17 points.

MADNESS: Jayhawks to face Illinois-Chicago
A touch of Irish in downtown Lawrence

year, it will rely heavily on two factors — leadership and focus.
Eric Braem/Kansan
Kansas junior forward Wayne Simien and freshman guard J.R. Giddens look over NCAA Tournament information during a post-press conference in Hafi Auditorium yesterday. The Jayhawks enter the tourney as a four seed and will battle the University of Illinois-Chicago Thursday.
The Jayhawks enter this season's NCAA Tournament without the senior leadership that Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich provided last March. Instead, the junior quartet of Miles, Keith Langford, Mike Lee and Wayne Simien will have to take complete ownership of the team they have stepped up to lead all year long.
"The biggest thing I take is just do whatever it takes to win," Miles said. "Last year, Nick had 19 rebounds and 31 points against Duke. That's doing whatever it takes. I haven't talked to Keith or Wayne or Mike about that, but I will talk to them about doing whatever it takes, whether we need Keith to score 30 points or Wayne to score 30 points or we need them both to get 10 or 15 rebounds. Even if it's something we don't normally do, we've got to be able to do it."
Self emphasized last night that the one thing he worried
"This time of year, the last thing you want to deal with is distractions," Self said. "All you want this time of year is for your team to give itself the best chance, and distractions can certainly keep them from doing that."
as well as keeping away as much as possible from every player's best friend — the cell phone.

could derail his team was an enormous amount of distractions. Self said that on Monday the team would take care of its ticket and hotel situations for families, and then it will be almost a complete lock-down to keep his players' focus prime. The biggest emphasis in reducing distractions will be players learning how to tell people "no" when it comes to ticket requests
TEXAS: Free throws an obstacle for 'Hawks
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
In the game's opening minutes, the Jayhaws appeared as though their offensive momentum was still present. While the Longhorns limped to a 1 for 11 start from the field, Kansas mounted an early 13-2 advantage.
Once the Longhorns settled in, they earned tough points in the paint and denied the Jayhawks' big men open looks underneath. With the Jayhawks struggling, the Longhorns took a 35-33 lead into the locker room at halftime.
"They threw a lot of bodies down low," Simien said. "It felt like a WWF match down there."
Early in the second half, a seven-minute field goal drought kept Kansas from capitalizing on Texas' offensive struggles. The Longhorns still held a 47-45 lead with 8:32 remaining when Brandon Mouton scored 10 straight points for Texas, including two three-
The biggest individual stat sheet casualty for Kansas was Simien, who followed his career-high 31-point performance against Missouri by going two for eight from the field against Texas.

pointers. Kansas was able to work itself to the free-throw line in an attempt to come back late, but the Jayhawks missed four of their next five free throw attempts. With Texas ahead 60-58 with under a minute to play, Jason Klotz took a sneaky feed from Royal Ivey. It put the Longhorns up by four, which secured the victory.
The Jayhawks were abnormally cold from beyond the threepoint arc, connecting on just four of 16 attempts. Freshman guard I.R. Giddens was just one for six
heading into the room.
"If we lose one game and deflate ourselves, then we're not a team." Giddens said. "Anywhere we go we're gonna take fans with us. We can only have five out on the court at a time."
"The tournament's the tournament," Simien said. "If we have another game like this, the 2004 season is done."
Free throws were a problem once again. Kansas made just 16 of 28 free throw attempts.
Kansas goes into the NCAA Tournament with eight losses, the most any Jawahk team has taken since the 1999-2000 season. That team entered 23-9 before losing in the second round to Duke.

Third victory over Tigers
By Ryan Greene

KANSAS 23
KAUSSEN 44
DALLAS-With 8:45 remaining in the game, the Kansas fans in attendance began chanting N-I-T.
At that point, Kansas was wrapping up a lethal 24-4 run en route to its 94-69 blowout victory over Missouri in the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinals.
Eric Braem/Kansan
Kansas junior forward Wayne Simien fed the ball over the Missouri defense to freshman center David Padgett during first-half action Friday in Dallas. Simien tied his career high in field goals with 12, also tying the record for the most scored by a Jawhawk in the Big 12 Conference Tournament.
In the process, the Jayhawks improved their chances of opening next week's NCAA Tournament in Kansas City, Mo., and sent the Tigers home early and most likely to a berth in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT).
"It was just defense," junior guard Keith Langford said. "Everybody didn't let their man score individually. When you've got that mentality, it makes the team defense that much better."
Kansas' 94 points was a season-high and makes the team 20-0 this year when scoring more than 70 points.
The team also became the first team in Kansas history to defeat Missouri three times in one season. The Jayhawks have now taken five of six contests from their Border War rivals the past two seasons.
Missouri began the game just as hot offensively as it was in the last meeting between the two teams a week ago.
While the Jayhawks were cold from the field, the Tigers opened up an early 24-12 lead. At that point, Kansas junior forward Wayne Simien took over, scoring 14 points in the final nine minutes of the first half and giving the Jayhawks a 35-33 lead at the break.
Kansas and Missouri were neck-and-neck for the next six minutes, until the Jayhawks unleashed the 24-4 run. Simien and senior forward Jeff Graves combined for 12 of those 24 points while containing Missouri's Arthur Johnson on the defensive end.
Simien recorded a career-high 31 points to go along with 11 rebounds, and Graves' 14 points were the most he had scored since he scored 16 last April in the National Championship game.
"I've never played in a game that turned around like this," Johnson said. "They did a good job tonight on making our mistakes into their points."
More importantly for Kansas was keeping its killer instinct with a big lead.
Following the game last week in Columbia, Mo., coach Bill Self said that his players began "playing not to lose" when they blew a 10-point lead with four minutes remaining.
Friday night, the Jayhawks made sure that problem was solved.
"I think we just stayed in attack mode," Langford said. "After they hit a couple shots, we just continued to get stops. They hit a couple of threes, but everything inside was contested."
Freshman guard J.R. Giddens added 15 points for Kansas, and Langford scored 10 points and

pulled down 10 rebounds. Johnson led Missouri with 26 points but for the second consecutive time lost his battle with Simien.
"He's a great player and we've had some great battles." Simien said of Johnson. "These games will be something I won't forget for a while."

Tennessee No.1 seed overall in women's tournament
The Associated Press
TENNESSEY 21
ICONN
43
Tennessee's Kara Lawson tries to disrupt a pass by UConn's Ann Strother during last year's NCAA Women's Basketball Final. Tennessee is the top seed overall in this year's tournament, while UConn is No. 2 in the East.
For once, Connecticut did not quite measure up with the best in women's basketball.
Tennessee earned the top overall seed in the NCAA women's tournament Sunday and will play in the Midwest Regional. Duke (Mideast), Penn State (East) and Texas (West) received the other No. 1 seeds.
And what of Connecticut, winner of the last two NCAA championships and three of the last four? No. 2 in the East.
"We didn't win enough games, I guess," coach Geno Auriemma said.
Tennessee and Duke, the topranked team in The Associated Press poll, had been considered locks to be seeded No. 1. Penn State and Texas edged Purdue and Connecticut for the two other spots.
"It was exciting this year because we had more teams to consider for No. 1s," said Cheryl Marra, who chairs the selection committee. "For the first time we had a larger pool, which is exciting for the game, but made it very difficult for the committee."
In the end, Marra said Connecticut could not match the credentials of the four who were seeded No.1.
The Huskies (25-4) had been in line for a No. 1 until losing to Villanova in their next-to-last regular season game and then getting upset by Boston College in the semifinals of the Big East tournament.
Duke was ranked second among the No.1 seeds, followed by Penn State and Texas. Purdue was the top No.2, with Connecticut next.
This is the first time that UConn has not been a No.1 seed since 1998, when as a No.2 it was upset by North Carolina State in the East Regional final.
"Taking a look at (Connecticut's) full body of work, when you put it up to the other schools being considered, the other four we believe had a better overall performance this year," said Marra, senior associate athletic
director at Wisconsin.
Tennessee (26-3) received its 15th No. 1 seed in 17 years after winning the Southeastern Conference regular-season championship at 14-0 and playing the nation's toughest schedule.
The Lady Vols have 18 victories over teams that made the NCAA tournament, including a 72-69 win at top-ranked Duke.
Duke (27-3) won the ACC regular-season and tournament championships, while Texas (28-4) shared the Big 12 title with Kansas State and finished second in the conference tournament.
The Longhorns also went 2-1 against the other No.1 seeds, beating Duke and Tennessee and losing to Penn State.
Penn State (25-5) lost to Purdue in the championship game of the Big Ten tournament, but beat the Boilermakers twice during the season and played a challenging schedule that included a 20-point win over Texas.
Now the Lady lions face a challenging road to get to the Final Four in New Orleans.
hey could play eighth-seeded Virginia Tech on Tech's home floor in the second round and have a potential meeting with Connecticut at the Hartford Civic Center in the regional final.
"That's how the games are set up at this time," Penn State coach Rene Portland said. "I've got to believe for the last few years people thought that way when they had to come to State College.
"There's going to be challenges every place we go. That's what this tournament is for."
It was a banner year for the Big East, which got a record-tying eight teams in the NCAA tournament.
UConn will be joined by Boston College, Miami, Notre Dame, Rutgers, Villanova, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.
Every Big East team except West Virginia had an RPI in the top 30, Marra said, and West Virginia had four victories against teams among the top 50 in the RPI.
The Southeastern Conference had eight teams in 1999 and 2002. Seven SEC teams made it this time: Tennessee, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Mississippi and Vanderbilt.
The Big 12 also had seven and the Big Ten six.
First-round games will be played next Saturday or Sunday at 16 sites. Those winners play March 22 or 23.
Two of the regionals are March
27 and 29: the East in Hartford and the West in Seattle. The Mideast in Norfolk, Va., and the Midwest in Norman, Okla., are March 28 and 30.
At the national semifinals April 4, it will be East vs. Mideast and Midwest against West. That creates the possibility of a Tennessee-Connecticut championship game for the second straight year and fourth time since 1995.
UConn won the three previous meetings, including a 73-68 victory in Atlanta last year.
Texas is a No. 1 seed for the first time since 1988 and Penn State for the first time since 1994. Duke
earned its fourth straight No. 1 seed but is still looking for its first national title.
Tennessee, which has overcome the midseason loss of starting point guard Loree Moore to a knee injury, will open the tournament on the road for the first time ever.
The Lady Vols play Colgate in Tallahassee, Fla., on Saturday.
That's of no concern to Summit.
"We've been everywhere," she said. "I don't know (if) we've ever had a team better prepared at this time of the season to hit the road."
Purdue is the No. 2 seed in the
West. The other No.2s are Kansas State in the Mideast and Vanderbilt in the Midwest, setting up the possibility of a Vandy-Tennessee meeting in the regional final.
Texas opens at home against Southern on Sunday, Duke hosts Northwestern State on Sunday and Penn State plays Hampton in Blacksburg, Va. on Sunday.
UConn (25-4) begins defense of its national title against Ivy League champion Penn at Bridgeport, Conn., on Sunday.
Missouri was the only at-large team that made it with a losing conference record. The Tigers (17-12) tied for seventh in the Big 12 at 7-9.

Affeld thopes finger healed
The Associated Press
SURPRISSE, Ariz. — With a whiplash fastball and a paralyzing 12-to-6 curve, Jeremy Affeldt has better stuff than any other left-hander in Kansas City history.
Longtime Royals-watchers say this is true. But the lanky 24-year-old also has an ugly half-nail on the middle finger of his big left hand — a finger that's just about the biggest issue at Kansas City's spring training camp.
Will a persistent, detestable blister on that finger return to dog his budding career? Or did painful offseason surgery to remove half the nail cure the problem?
If the surgery winds up working, the Royals will grant Affeldt's wish to be a starter.
"I think he has the potential to be a 20-game winner," said general manager Allard Baird.
If not, then it's back to the bullpen, where Affeldt held hitters to a .193 average in 18 appearances last year after the blister forced him out of the rotation.
Either way, the Royals feel they've got someone with the talent and makeup to be a dominant pitcher for many years.
"He's got some of the best left-handed stuff in the major leagues," Baird said. "And out of the bullpen it really shows. In the rotation ... we'll see where it ends up."
The problem first afflicted the 6-foot-4, 215-pounder in Double-A. He started last season in Kansas City's rotation, but after 80 or so pitches every outing, the blister appeared, ending his pinpoint control.
"The blister would start to hurt, and I'd adjust somewhat," he said. "But it just wouldn't give me as much control. It would affect me so bad so quickly, I'd be out of the game. Those hitters are paid a lot of money to hit mistakes."
The Royals tried a variety of skin-toughening remedies—even a couple suggested by fans—but nothing changed. Then in procedures in October and December doctors deadened the hand and got rid of half the nail in a vertical cut.
"The first couple of weeks, it was really sore," he said.
Then, in December, doctors put acid in the nail bed. This, too, was somewhat unpleasant.
longest outing yet. Royals officials will be watching closely.
"It was pretty sore for a couple of weeks," he said. "Actually, it hurt pretty bad. After that, there was a little bruising. But now it will never grow back. I don't have to worry about that anymore. It's never going to be there anymore."
in his two spring appearances, Affeldt has gone five innings, giving up six hits and three runs, with two walks and two strikeouts. On Monday he'll pitch against the Chicago Cubs in his
And so will several other potential starters and bullpen possibilities whose own immediate future will be affected by what happens.
"So far, no problem." Affeldt said. "It's a normal finger. There's a little burning but it's OK."
Affeldt figures he won't know if the cure has worked until he has three or four outings of about 80 pitches each. He figures to throw about 70 pitches against the Cubs.
"Last year I had some bruising and tenderness and redness already at this time," he said. "But we don't even have that now. All signs are good."
Kansas City was 13-5 in games where Affeldt relieved. He retired the first batter all but three times.
"The really exciting thing about his breaking ball is that he throws it for a strike," Baird said. "It's one thing to have a really quality flight and definition to a pitch. But if you can't throw it over the plate, then the quality of the pitch itself doesn't mean as much."
If he does go to the bullpen, Affeldt has told the Royals he does not want to be a long reliever.
"He doesn't want to come in with a 5-0 lead." Baird said. "He balls the ball when closing out with a one-run lead. And you've got to appreciate that."

Wells makes Padre debut Former Yankee satisfied with performance
PEORIA, Ariz. — With the exception of watching his third pitch sail out of the ballpark, David Wells was happy with his return to the mound nearly five months after back spasms led to a quick exit from a World Series start.
"Just to get back out there and be pain-free was the main concern," Wells said after making his spring debut for the San Diego Padres in an 8-3, 11-inning loss to the Kansas City Royals yesterday. "I didn't try to overdo it."
"I wish I could have done that in Game 5," Wells said, referring to being forced out after just one inning in his World Series start for the New York Yankees against Florida on Oct. 23.
"It was something where all you're doing is barely throwing and watching everything fall apart. It's just nice to get out there and be on the competitive side again and go out and do what I've been doing for 23, 24 years," he
Wells allowed two hits on his first five pitches before settling down.
He threw two innings, giving up two runs—one earned—then said he felt good physically.
"You just try to get your pitches over and just try to get command."
David Wells Padre pitcher
said.
Wells had back surgery in early December, then signed with his hometown Padres as a free agent on Dec. 31.
The 40-year-old left-hander said his back stiffened up between the first and second innings as he sat in the dugout.
He also fielded Matt Stairs' dribber in front of the plate to start a rundown that caught Carlos Beltran between third and home for the first out of the first inning.
"The first couple of pitches it was a little tight, but then I got through it fine." said Wells, who got plenty of defensive work, with a putout and an assist on consecutive plays to end the 1-2-3 second inning.
"I went out there and fielded my position pretty well," Wells said. "The only highlight of the day was to get Matt Stairs to sting his hand a little bit."
Padres manager Bruce Bochy
was impressed with his new ace.
"He's worked hard to get back out there, with rehabbing the surgery." Bochy said. "I thought he looked great. He was just missing in the first inning and he came back and had a good second inning. He had a lot of action around the mound, covering first, the rundown. Fort two innings, he got a lot of work in."
Wells allowed a leadoff homer to Aaron Gueli on a 2-0 fastball, then a double to Beltran.
"Behind in the count, getting the ball up, doesn't equal a good outing," Wells said. "I struggled with the curveball a little bit. Then the one I did throw good got belted for a double. I don't know how the hell he hit it. At least it was a good curveball. You've got to tip your cap on that.
"You just try to get your pitches over and just try to get command. I wasn't airing it out, just trying to go out there free and easy trying to make sure everything felt good," he said.
Kansas City's Dee Brown hit a grand slam in the 11th for the Royals, who took a 3-0 lead, then let the Padres tie it with a three-run seventh. Mike Sweeney hit a solo shot for the Royals in the third.

Hometown remembers Martha's life
The Associated Press
NUTLEY, N.J. — Back home, she is still Martha Kostyra — a fresh-faced blonde with a Betty Crocker perm, the only girl in advanced math, the one who dreamed of a modeling career and played Saturday night ping-pong matches at Terry Verdi's house.
In Martha Stewart's hometown, people wince over her painful fall from grace, holding fast to the Martha they knew — and to the notion that she was targeted for who she was, not what she did.
she said.
"It's a travesty what's happening," said Mike Geltrude, 64, a classmate from Nutley High School's Class of '59. "She was a good person and I still believe she's a good person."
Many agree in this upper-middle class bedroom community of 27,300 people, sitting just 12 miles west of New York City. And the few who believe she did do something wrong say a prison
sentence would be too harsh for Stewart's conviction for lying about a stock sale.
Martha was 3 when parents Edward and Martha Kostyra moved their six children to Nutley from nearby Jersey City. He was a pharmaceutical salesman, she a teacher.
In their modest three-story home at 86 Elm Place, young Martha learned about good things. By 4, her father was teaching her gardening. She got baking and sewing lessons from her mother.
A straight-A student, she belonged to almost every club there was at Nutley High School. And while she wasn't voted most likely to succeed -- that was Barbara Viventi and Parke Richards — she was treasurer of her senior class.
The tall, pretty girl shows up on almost every other page of the 1959 yearbook, including a candid shot of the advanced mathematics class where she was the only girl among 25 students.
Her senior portrait was captioned with the quote: "I do what I please, and I do it with ease." But Geltrude said the quote was written by yearbook editors, not Stewart herself.
Verdi, an administrative secretary at Nutley High for 48 years, remembers when Stewart and other friends of her son gathered in her attic recreation room.
She guards Stewart's image almost as closely as she guards the school's lone remaining copy of the leather-bound 1959 yearbook. It's kept in a safe in the front office.
In the school cafeteria hangs a framed copy of the Feb. 20, 1959, Maroon and Gray school newspaper, with a front-page story headlined "Photogenic Senior Makes T.V. Spots a Pleasure." It describes the budding modeling career of Martha Kost — "...better known within the halls of N.H.S. as Martha Kostyra ..." — and her plans to work her way through college.
She returned to Nutley often. She was one of 10 distinguished alumni who participated in a 1985 "Salute to Greatness, speaking to students about her time at Nutley High and her career.
At the 40-year reunion, she pulled organizer Geltrude aside and told him she would pay the bar tab for the evening but not to make a fuss about it.
make a tussle about. Last September, Stewart took her place among the inaugural inductees to the Nutley Hall of Fame, an honor also bestowed on 19th-century sharpshooter Annie Oakley, another former Nutley resident.
Whatever happens, curiosity seekers likely will keep showing up at 86 Elm Place.
"It's not uncommon to find people in the yard, digging up dirt," said Andria Cheney, 19, whose family bought it from Stewart's mother. "I guess they think it's good soil, because of her. Once, my sister came home and found somebody out here tasting the dirt."
'Passion' continues reign at box office
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The Passion of the Christ was the top film for a third straight weekend, taking in $31.7 million and pushing its total beyond a quarter of a billion dollars.
Mel Gibson's dramatization of Christ's final hours climbed to $264 million in the United States and Canada after 19 days in theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday.
mates Sunday.
With solid receipts expected through Easter on April 11, The Passion is on track to gross between $350 million and $400 million, said Rob Schwartz, head of distribution for Newmarket Films, which handled the release.
That would put it on par with The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, which took in another $2.05 million over the weekend to push its total to $371.2 million.
The Passion lifted Hollywood
to its third-straight uptick in revenues after a long slump in January and February. The top 12 movies grossed $104.1 million, up 15 percent from the same weekend last year.
Before The Passion opened, Hollywood revenue was running 7 percent behind last year's. Revenues now are 3 to 4 percent ahead of 2003's, said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations.
"The Passion has single-handedly made what was turning out to be a pretty lousy year into a really good year so far," Dergarabedian said.
Playing in 3,221 theaters, The Passion averaged $9,830 a cinema, a huge number for a movie in its third weekend.
Starring Jim Caviezel as Christ, The Passion continues to draw well among church groups that helped make it a religious blockbuster.

Wichita resident victim of Sunday's hit-and-run accident
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office released the name yesterday of the pedestrian who was killed a hit-and-run accident Sunday morning. The deceased is Devin Scott Emery, a 20-year-old Wichita resident.
Emery was struck Sunday at approximately 1:30 a.m. The driver of a 1993 Chevy Suburban initially left the scene after hitting Emery, but later returned. Neither the pedestrian who was killed nor the driver is a KU student.

The cause of the incident is still being
investigated, according to a news release from the sheriff's office. No arrests have been made in relation to the incident.
The case will be sent to the district attorney's office for consideration of arrests, said Douglas County Lt. Kathy Tate.
Some of the people involved in the accident did attend the party, said Jason Watson, Sigma Nu president. Sigma Nu's national chapter was planning to release a statement yesterday, but moved it to today, the Lincoln, Neb., junior said. The national director will be coming in about 3 p.m. today to release a statement.

The fraternity was approved to attend the function, Watson said. It is allowed four social events with alcohol in the spring semester.
The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life released a statement about the event:

Coke owns them all.
If you're on campus and don't want to buy a Coca-Cola, Coke doesn't mind. Get a Minute Maid. Buy a bottle of water. A Sprite, Anything.
Coke owns them all. In 1997, the University of Kansas signed an exclusive contract with the Coca-Cola Corporation, making Coke the sole distributor of drinks on campus. Over ten years, the contract is worth close to $21 million to the University. That figure includes a $7 million upfront payment from Coke.
Coca-Cola is one brand name that can be seen at many places at the University of Kansas. More and more corporate logos are popping up on campus.

Before the University of Kansas signed its contract with Coke, the Kansas Union and the Athletics Department handled their own vending. The Union sold drinks from Coke, Pepsi and other manufacturers. After the contract, Coke took
But eight murders at a Coke bottling plant in the Latin American country of Columbia, along with accusations of other human rights violations, have called these contracts into question. The accusations have spurred protests at colleges and universities around the country and have persuaded at least two schools to cancel contracts with Coke.

Consolidating all of the campus vending areas was essential to the dollar amount of the contract, said Theresa Klinkenberg, chief financial officer of the University's business and financial planning department.

The School of Pharmacy Audus has been with the University of Kansas for more than 20 years. He received his doctorate from KU Medical Center in 1984. After finishing his post-doctoral work in 1986, he has served as a member of the faculty.

"I think he'll do a great job," said Mary Michaelis, professor of pharmacology and toxicology and dean search committee member.
His record as a faculty member and an administrator, along with his interview, impressed the committee Michaelis said.
The committee chose Audus over several highly qualified applicants. These included James Kehrer, professor and division head of pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Texas at Austin, and Daniel Acosta, dean of the School of Pharmacy at the University of Cincinnati.
"We were interested in someone who would provide good leadership for the next 10 years." Michaelis said.
Audus gained support from different sides of the selection committee.
Nicolette Raya, a third-year pharmacy student from Hutchinson, was part of the student panel. She said she supported the decision.
"Ive had him as a professor, and he seems like the kind of guy that would try and make things work." Rava said.
The current dean also holds Audus in high regards.
Fincham said Audus has been an exceptional faculty member and wished him the best as the new dean.

Legislators debate scope of gay-marriage amendment
TOPEKA—With a committee preparing to consider a proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution banning gay marriage, some senators said yesterday they are worried the measure was too broad.
Some senators said the amendment may be so broad as to prevent private employers from extending health benefits to same-sex couples, unmarried heterosexual couples or entire households of unmarried relatives. Also, they said they worry it could prevent churches from holding civil commitment ceremonies for gay couples.
The proposed amendment, already adopted by the House, also would ban civil unions for gay couples and prevent the state from extending any benefits normally associated with marriage to same-sex couples or even to unmarried heterosexual couples.
Supporters of the proposal said such concerns are unfounded.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has scheduled a hearing on the proposed amendment for 9:30 a.m. tomorrow.
"I'm inclined to support the amendment, but I am concerned that its language may do unintended things," said Sen. Derek Schmidt (R-Independence), a committee member. "I think we need to scrutinize this fairly closely."

Students camp to raise awareness,money
By Patrick Cady
pcady@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Bright green mats of AstroTun and a gray and blue dome tent will help carry a grass-roots movement as the University of Kansas chapter of Choice USA prepares for a march on Washington.
Members of the group will be lounging and handing out information on Wescoe Beach from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day until Thursday. They will brave cold and rain to help raise money for the trip and spread information.
Their purpose is to help fight for individual rights, such as the rights to choose to use contraception and to reproduce or not, said Jana Mackey, Hays senior and member of the group.
"We need to raise awareness," Mackey said.
LU
know that's a lot of people.'
Mackey's sale
The group is working to sell 300 tickets at $75 each to help send people to the April 23 weekend that includes a youth conference and a march on the Capitol that Sunday.
Katie Wolff, Shawnee junior, and Jana Mackey, Hays senior, recruited Cristen Bates, Springfield, Mo., senior, and her sister Cara, a freshman at Illinois Wesleyan, in front of Wescoe Hall yesterday. Volunteers will camp out in front of Wescoe Hall until Thursday to recruit participants for the March for Women's Lives in Washington, D.C.
"It's just the encouragement of seeing a million people," Mackey said. "And if even half of them go back and do work at home, you
The conference and the struggle also represent an issue of empowerment, said Katie Wolff. Shawnee junior and president of KU Choice USA.
"It's a good way to get our generation involved in the woman's rights movement," Wolff said.
As the group works to sell the tickets, it has found opposition in the form of indifference, she said.
"I think the hardest thing is just showing people," she said. "Letting people know that letting their voices be heard on a national level does help."
It's also hard because sometimes activists are few and far between in Kansas, Wolff said.
They also found opposition on a simpler level. Some people just don't know what being an abortion-rights activist means, that it's beyond just being a woman's issue, Mackey said.
"It's always been a contentious issue," Mackey said. "Choice is also the ability to choose to have a child."
Wolff said that the group hadn't found much vocal opposition being in the tent this week except for some backlash early in its
drive for support. In the past, scriptural e-mails overflowed to the group's e-mail account questioning its stance on abortion rights. Also, a rival group posted a rebuttal flier with the same design
and fonts as Choice USAs, said Wolff.
Choice USA's supporters include the Universal Unitarians, Methodists for Choice and the ACLU.
The group is also drawing support from students who hear about its message from events like the camp out on Wescoe Beach.

Tornado drill will sound throughout campus
By Neeley J. Spellmeier

Kansan staff writer
Kansan staff writer
Alarm bells will go off today at the University of Kansas as it takes part in a statewide severe weather drill at 10:30 a.m.
The drill coincides with Severe Weather Awareness Week, which began yesterday. This is the second year the University has participated in this drill.
The purpose of the drill is to prepare students and faculty for what to do if an actual severe weather situation were to happen, said John Mullens, assistant director of the KU Public Safety Office. This is the only time the University tests the button that
sets the alarms off in all the buildings, Mullens said.
The drill is to test the alarms. Students and faculty will not have to seek shelter during the drill.
The internal alarms will sound in 20 buildings on campus.
External alarms are also being sounded, both on campus and throughout the county. One of the on-campus alarms is on top of Watson Library, and the other is near the Lied Center.
The alarm system comprises an attention-getting noise maker, followed by a voice declaring an emergency situation. About two minutes of dead air follow this, and then the alarm will go off again. Today, after the second
time the alarm goes off, the allclear signal will sound. If it were a real situation, the alarm would not shut off until it is safe.
Last year the National Weather Service reported that Kansas had 91 tornados, well above the annual average of 52.
In May 2003 a tornado touched down in western Lawrence and nearby areas. It was classified as an F-2 on the Fujita tornado damage scale, which means winds reached 113-157 miles per hour. The tornado was the most significant since 1981, according to an article published June 8, 2003, in The University Daily Kansan.

No one was killed in last spring's tornado, but 192 housing units and 98 buildings were damaged.

Unhealthy habits, interests lead to obesity

The irony in news items regarding health was super-sized last week.
Wayne Stayskal/KRT
OURVIEW
The University should combat the lack of interest in physical education by encouraging a healthy lifestyle, not by cutting the major.
As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that obesity took the undistinguished honor of being the second-leading cause of preventable deaths in America, the University of Kansas announced it was ending the physical education degree program because of declining enrollment.
And the third distressing informative tidbit:Krispy Kreme's profits surged upward in the last three weeks of February.
The news hints at what is becoming common knowledge: The odds of Kansas children growing into physically fit adults are becoming slim to none.
Elementary schools in Lawrence are considering scaling back gym classes to meet budgetary needs, perhaps causing many of the prospective physical education majors to shy away from a program that won't lead to a job come graduation day.
Both the elementary schools' and the University's moves to cut back physical education are due to factors beyond administrators' control: finances and lack of interest. But society could pay a big price 10,15 or 30 years from now.
The recent CDC report
showed 400,000 deaths linked to obesity in 2000. Imagine what that number will be if exercise outlets are eliminated for children, 15.5 percent of who were already considered seriously overweight in 2002 by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Kansas families need to step up to the challenge facing them. And schools should follow the lead of people like Katy Buck, nursing services facilitator for Lawrence schools, who is figuring out new ways to stress the importance of exercise.
"One way is to organize recess activities so that children aren't just standing around talking to each other, but actually getting movement," said Buck, who added the problem goes beyond decreasing physical education classes. "It really all depends on family values. It's not just the schools' responsibility in getting children to exercise."
The University also could create a way to highlight the importance of physical education, such as an advertising campaign focusing on the benefits of healthy eating.
But the home may be the place where attitudes can be altered best. Mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters out there don't have to do much to encourage a healthy lifestyle.
As benign as it may seem, four hours of PlayStation per day and the habitual act of super-sizing could be serious obstacles in a child's health.
Eliminating temptations from the home may be a challenge, but a pro-active family will have the satisfaction of knowing that they don't have to be part of the obesity statistics.

ON POLITICS
Americans: Beware of Bush's campaign of fear
In a new campaign advertisement for President Bush, the president warns America that a vote for likely democratic presidential candidate John Kerry is a vote for turning back to "the dangerous illusion that terrorists are not plotting and outlaw regimes are no threat."
---
But more importantly, Bush wants the American people to be scared of the terrorists who are plotting and the outlaw regimes that are a threat. If he can cultivate that fear in American people, his sole job can be to go after the bad guys, no matter what the cost.
Bush wants us to be scared. Obviously, Bush wants us to be scared that another candidate will not be as sensitive to foreign affairs as he has been.
COMMENTARY
Bush has used fear before as a tool for cultivating public support. Fear was a motivating factor in the decision to
invade Iraq. Not only were Americans scared about Bush's claim that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, but the fear of Sept. 11 was undoubtedly still in our minds. Americans were scared that if armed forces did not invade Iraq, there could be grave consequences for our country, including another terrorist attack.
Anna D. Gregory
opinion@kansan.com
The fear that was left over from the sight of the World Trade Center towers falling to the ground clouded our judgment. Today, there are still no weapons of mass destruction or a link from Saddam Hussein to Al Qaeda, and we have found out that Bush's intelligence reports were not as sure as he made them out to be.
Americans need to keep a critical eye and an open mind on the upcoming election. Pay attention to the words "national security." These words are often used to create a sense of fear.
We invaded Iraq to protect national security. We invaded Afghanistan to defend national security. Of course, national security is important; Americans should feel safe in their homes and at work, but we must weigh the
Looking back, the signs were there but we were too scared to see them.
consequences of our actions. Was our national security really in jeopardy with Iraq? Is national security worth sacrificing our rights through policies like the Patriot Act? And is losing American lives every day worth defending a possible threat to national security? These are the questions we, as Americans, need to ask of our leaders.
We should all be wary of a policy built on fear. When we are scared, we do not think rationally. When we are scared, we often do not see the bigger picture. The emotion of fear can blind us to reality.
Be aware of the role fear plays in the decisions we make. We can not afford to write our leaders a blank check on foreign policy because we are scared.
Gregory is a Topeka senior in history and political science.

Rape, sexual abuse, assault, battery, sexual slavery, incest, forced prostitution, trafficking, honor killings and all the other atrocities that happen to women across the world are products of that disrespect.
Barr's point was that the word "vagina" is not or should not be一 a profane word, and treating it as if it were allows society to disrespect vaginas and the women who have them.
Throughout history, penises and phallic shapes have been used as symbols of power. Being a man and being manly has been something to be proud of. Vaginas have been — and still are — discussed in whispers and euphemisms as if they were a dirty secret. Being womanly has been associated with being weak.
Malcolm Gibson
general manager and news adviser
864-7687 or mglbonso@kansan.com
If someone can't even say the word "vagina" or publish it in the paper, without being reproached for using profanity, "vagina" will continue to be a word that's only used in undertones or in a derogatory context. Women, and the power they have in society, will continue to suffer as a result.
Past letter misses argument
Eric Schaumburg missed the point of Laura Rose Barr's column in last Monday's Kansan, "International Women's Day: Vaginas Are Good."
Barr's use of the word vagina may have been shocking or unconventional to some readers, but it certainly wasn't profane. In light of International Women's Day, her call to feminism for those of us who claim to espouse sisterhood and have so little to lose — certainly not as much as women in the past timely
- is timely.
Her article was a step in the right direction toward gaining the respect and power that is due for women and their vaginas. Barr should be praised not hushed up.
Merly Carver Pittsburg graduate student in law
Duke fans unparalleled
Obviously his view is one sided and didn't get the true experience of the Tar Heel/Blue Devil hatred and witty rivalry.
In response to Kendall Dix's column on March 10 about the Duke/UNC game the previous Saturday, I am not sure what game or atmosphere around the game he was watching.
Phil Zecharies

The idea is genius. They show their appreciation by creating a shrine in Krzyewskiville for the coach that put them there and that tradition will last longer then the schools who are believed to have a rival atmosphere to the "high school" gym Cameron Indoor Stadium.
The Crazies are a one of a kind crowd. I doubt that there is one arena in all of sports that would have the pep band learn all the songs in the Wizard of Oz and play them to get inside the head of a coach just because he use to coach at a Kansas university. Or build a yellow brick road that at the end says, "Roy, you're not in Kansas anymore."
TALK TO US
Kendall, I don't know what your experience was at the game, but it doesn't even come close to a game at the Fieldhouse. Kids don't sleep outside in rain or snow on KU campus two months before any game.
I agree that the Duke era of dominance is not as long as a KU, Kentucky or UCLA, but here is the thing. Why don't the schools with hundreds of years of basketball heritage not have such pride that a 25-year regime has?
Coach K has built the best atmosphere for a sporting event. A game at Cameron Indoor Stadium is second to none. Cameron Indoor Stadium is our modern-day Roman Coliseum and should not be underrated. The Duke students were right when they wrote on their paper yellow-brick road they made for Roy Williams to enter Cameron on, "There is no place like Cameron."

Student's murder inspires legislation
By Anna Clovis aclovis@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A nearly three-year-long fight for justice has left Jeanette Stauffer in debt, and she wants to make sure other families in Kansas do not experience the same problem.
A bill before the Kansas House Judiciary Committee could allow such families access to the Crime Victims Compensation Act, which provides funds for Kansas residents who are victims of violent crimes within the United States.
passed, the bill would extend that coverage to victims of violent crimes outside the country. The act does not currently provide for families of victims of violent crimes outside of the United States.
A.
Stauffer
Stauffer's daughter Shannon Martin, a former Topeka resident and student at the University of Kansas, was murdered in Golfo, Costa Rica on May 13, 2001.
while conducting research for her honors thesis. Stauffer said her family was $101,028 in debt because of the investigation of the murder and the trial.
Stauffer said
Staulter said she wanted the bill to be successful in the Legislature.
The only funding from the government Stauffer was able to receive was $5,000 from the FBI to transport Martin's body back to the United States.
Stauffer testified last week before the committee. She said the committee wanted to make an addition to the bill that would provide restitution to her family before voting on the bill.
Stauffer said she and her family were not looking for restitution, but was honored that the committee cared.
The Kansas attorney general's
office is in charge of administering the Crime Victims Compensation Act. In a letter to Sen. John Vratil, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Duane Goossen said the bill would not affect the attorney general office's budget because the number of claims would be low. Goossen is the director of the budget for the attorney general's office.
Jan Lunsford, public information officer for the attorney general's office, said the bill would protect Kansans traveling abroad, allowing them or their families to apply for compensation if they were victims of violent crime while abroad.
Although Lunsford did not know when the House would see the bill, he said he was confident that the bill would make it to that point. He said the issue was of interest to Kansans, especially those in Topeka who had followed Shannon Martin's story.
"It's something that hasn't gotten a lot of attention," Lunsford said of the bill, "but once it gets to

Business school students may receive 'Wall Street Journal' subscription in fall
By Rupal Gor
rgor@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Wall Street Journal may be coming to Jayhawk Boulevard.
With the help of the recently revived Undergraduate Business Council, students in the business school may get the Journal by next fall.
The Journal would be distributed daily to undergraduate and graduate business students at the University, said Dave Brown, Overland Park senior and council president. Brown said that the number of copies would be half the number of the students in the school because not every student picks up the newspaper on the same day. As of last fall, the number of business undergraduate and graduate students was 1.459
Brown said he was not sure how the Journal would be distributed.
Brown said a $1 per credit hour fee for all students in the business school would pay for the journal. That would give the council a $40,000 budget to work with for the journal subscription.
The cost for a student to subscribe the Journal this semester is $38.
The $1 fee is the most likely method of funding for now. Brown said he was not sure what the next step would be to bring the Journal to the business school if the council decides to continue with the plan. He said other ways to provide funding could come from corporate sponsorships or fundraisers within the council.
The council is a 23-member
organization of business students, all of whom also are members of various organizations in the business school such as the marketing club or the Alpha Kappa Phi business fraternity.
The council members restored the organization last fall and have spent this semester working on projects to benefit students in the business school.
Brown said that the students' main request, apparent from a survey conducted earlier this semester, was to bring the journal to campus.
The Wall Street Journal provides business students with finance and accounting articles, along with terms and information that correlate with what they are learning in class, said Matt Webb, Overland Park junior and vice
president of the council.
Along with receiving a hard copy of the Journal, students could access the Web site and take advantage of resources online, Webb said. Overall, he said, the Journal would provide students with information to keep up with current business news.
"Knowing what's going on in the business field would help you keep up to date with what's going on in the world," Webb said.
Webb said knowledge of current events was important when interviewing for a job.
The council will conduct student surveys in April about possibly bringing the Journal to the school of business next fall, Brown said.

Stewart resigns from board
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Ten days after being convicted in a stock scandal, Martha Stewart resigned yesterday from the board of the home-making empire that bears her name and stamps it on everything from magazines to bedsheets.
Stewart, 62, also stepped down as chief creative officer of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.
But she was given the new title of founding editorial director, meaning she will probably remain an influential part of the company, despite an impending prison sen-
tenence that could last more than a year.
The move showed that the company is not ready to completely sever its ties with the homemaking queen,
A. J. WILSON
Stewart
who owns 61 percent of the stock.
Chief executive Sharon Patrick said the company and its shareholders will "benefit most if we are able to continue to take advantage of Martha's creative
making queen
who owns 61 percent of the stock.
inspiration and capitalize on her prodigious skills and experience in the domestic arts."
In Stewart's new role, she will provide creative inspiration for the design and development of new products; write two books, "Homekeeping" and "Baking"; and provide advice on the company's brand and strategy, the company said.
Stewart resigned as chairman and CEO last June after being indicted. She said the move to step down as board member and chief creative officer was "in the best interest" of the company.
COCA-COLA: Company spends money to make it
"We would have never gotten the $7 million up front if we didn't bring all the parts together," Klinkenberg said.
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Klinkenberg said that the Coke deal hasn't hurt the Union financially. Coke pays the Union $150,000 per year in place of vending profits, with yearly increases to account for inflation.
Klinkenberg said the money was equal to the amount the Union would have earned in one year.
So what's in it for Coke? That's easy, said Josh Rosenbloom, professor of economics at the University.
"Coca-Cola is willing to pay millions up front, because they make so much more in profits," Rosenbloom said.
With a captive consumer population like students on a college campus, it's difficult for anyone to avoid buying a Coke product, Rosenbloom said.
"Coke is taxing students and passing a small portion of that back to the University," he said.
The Coke contract has so far generated $12 million for the University. From that money, national merit scholarships receive $200,000 per year, faculty and staff dependent scholarships get $150,000 per year, housing
gets $15,000 per year — the list goes on and on.
Coke annually generates close to $700,000 in net profits from sales at the University, just less than what it pays for scholarships and programs. But as the student body increases, so will sales, Rosenbloom said.
"There is a trend toward the corporatization of education all over the country. They're taking advantage of weak funding for public education," Nicholas said.
At schools such as the University of Montana, the money Coke generates from exclusive contracts is part of a disturbing trend, said Scott Nicholas, spokesperson for Community Action for Justice in America at Montana.
Nicholas' organization is part of a growing number of student activist groups protesting Coke on university campuses. The protests stem in part from the murders of eight union activists at a Coke bottling plant in Columbia, he said. Groups such as Columbia Solidarity and other human rights organizations have accused Coke of being involved with these murders.
The company denies all allegations of involvement with violence in Columbia, according to official company statements.
These allegations convinced two colleges, Bard College in New York and Lake Forest College outside of Chicago, to cancel their exclusive Coke contracts, according to reports in the
Atlanta Business Chronicle
"There is no basis for these protests," Kari Bjorhus, company spokeswoman, said. "Our behavior in Columbia is quite appropriate and quite ethical."
"People have the same expectations in any arena, and companies have the same responsibilities," she said. "Maybe the issues are more visible because students have more time to think about them, but our actions are just as ethical as anyplace else."
Bjorhus said the company handled university contracts much like it handled contracts with any public or private institutions
But that's not always the case, Nicholas said. He said students should be conscious of what corporations were on campus and be certain those corporations supported university goals.
nobody but what if students want to drink something besides Coke products at Kansas?
If students feel companies' codes of conduct aren't in line with a university's, they should not buy the product, he said.
"I don't know," Klinkenberg said. "Bring a drink from home."

A couple of hundred people attended the event at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The session was part of a four-day conference to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the landmark case that the "separate-but-equal" ruling was unconstitutional.

BROWN: Union activities begin
Yesterday's session was important because issues of freedom and equality are still relevant today, said Deborah Dandridge, chairwoman for the conference and member of the national commission.
"We're understanding that the decision wasn't that long ago." Dandridge said. "It's a significant past that continues to live."
Dandridge said one intent of the conference was to imitate a program by the Brown v. Board of Education 50th National Commission. The May 2003 program at the Smithsonian Institution featured descendants of the 1954 case, but Dandridge said the commission also wanted to extend this year's program to other individuals.
Harriet Wilson is one such individual. Wilson is the widow of Paul Wilson, assistant attorney general who pleaded before the Supreme Court as part of the Kansas defense. Although Harriet wasn't directly involved with the Topeka case, she said her husband enjoyed taking part in the historic decision.
"My husband was proud to have been a part of such a momentous event, even though he was on the wrong side," Harriet said.
Harriet said Paul didn't believe in continuing segregation, but he knew that for the law to be changed, both sides had to be represented and the case had to go through the court system. She said she and her husband later met members of the Brown family, one of 13 plaintiffs of the Topeka case, and the two families had a good relationship.

Harriet said she hoped those who attended the conference would learn about the past and what can be improved for the future.
future.
"I think it's a wonderful thing that people are still interested in what happened then," she said.
Melissa Schmidt, Shawnee freshman, said she enjoyed attending last night's session because she learned more about the Topeka case. She said she learned that the community's response to the Topeka case was much milder than other cases such as Briggs v. Elliot.
"You'd think we'd know more about the Topeka case, being from Kansas," Schmidt said. "It makes me realize how naive I am to all of it."
Schmidt was required to attend at least two conference events as part of Norman Yetman's sociology class and would attend more events if she had time.

'Kansan' predicts Phoenix outcomes
Kansan Bracket Breakdown
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Now that the NCAA Tournament brackets have been set, it's time to bust out the pencils and erasers to predict this year's National Champ. In the spirit of the season, The University Daily Kansan's Ryan Greene will take an in-depth look every day this week at a different region of the bracket.

Phoenix Region
If you go by this season's performances alone, there is not a ton of firepower in this region outside of No. 1-seed Stanford and No. 2-seed Connecticut. Some of the tournament's biggest sleepers, however, reside in this 16-team field.
No. 1 Stanford (29-1) vs. No. 16 Texas-San Antonio (19-13)
Stanford stumbled in its final regular-season game against Washington and had its bid for a perfect regular season squashed. Nevertheless, the cardinals recovered and won the Pac10 Tournament, including a revenge victory against Washington in the championship game. Stanford is a balanced and disciplined team that will rely heavily on the outside shooting of
senior Matt Lottich to key big runs against weaker teams, but can also pound it inside, as the Cardinal boasts a slew of bruising big men. Like most No. 16-seeds, UTSA stands little chance. Prediction — Stanford 90, UTSA 68
No. 8 Alabama (17-12) vs. No. 9 Southern Illinois (25-4)
No matter how decimated Alabama is every year by guys leaving early for the NBA, a star always emerges and the Crimson Tide is solid. The stud this year is 6-foot-6 sophomore swingman Kennedy Winston, who averaged 17.3 points per game this season. The Crimson Tide's outstanding trio is rounded out by senior point guard Antoine Pettway and junior two-guard Earnest Shelton. Alabama may not be deep after those three, but it knows how to win big games. The Crimson Tide defeated MSU once and lost by one in overtime the second time around. The Southern Illinois Salukis have garnered enough respect nationally, despite being in the tiny Missouri Valley Conference, that it got an atlarge bid following a stellar team. The Salukis don't have a lot of flash, but are deep and steady. The star is junior guard Darren Brooks, who averages 16.3 points a game. Southern Illinois has experience on its side. Its eight-man rotation includes four juniors and three seniors. Experience wins out come tourney time. Prediction — Southern Illinois 65, Alabama 61
Stantord's Fred Washington scored over the Washington State defense in the first round of the Pac-10 Tournament at the Staples Center last Thursday in Los Angeles. Stanford will face the University of Texas-San Antonio this Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
No. 5 Syracuse (21-7) vs. No. 12 BYU (21-8)
Syracuse won last year's National Championship despite six losses heading into it. The Orangemen are without last year's do-it-all star Carmelo Anthony, but still have important players in Hakim Warrick, Gerry McNamara and Josh Pace. Like last season, Syracuse has struggled with

Oh, the many possibilities
Fans pick winners losers in pools for NCAA tournament

Kansan staff writer
Adam Leitel is no Dick Vitele, but the Moorhead, Minn., senior still considers himself a bracketologist with all the answers to the questions in this year's NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Leitel is one of many college basketball fans across the country who will fill out a bracket and participate in a pool this month, proposing to predict not only who will win the NCAA championship, but how, exactly, it will happen.
Considering that 65 teams participate in the annual tournament with 64 games and 18 quintillion possible outcomes, according to mathforum.org, that's no small task. But it's one that Leitel relishes, nevertheless.
"You can see all the possibilities and try to outsmart other people," Leitel said. "It's fun to try and pick sleepers."
This year, Leitel is coordinating a pool for himself and his co-workers at the University of Kansas Survey Research Center. Leitel said he enjoyed the pools because it was fun competing with his friends.
For Leitel and fans like him, the NCAA tournament is more than just teams playing basketball — it's an opportunity to play prophet, to pick

upsets, to decipher the field of competition and compete with friends to rightly guess the winners and losers of the NCAA tournament.
Who will be the first one-seed to fall? Who will be the Cinderella in the Sweet Sixteen? These are the types of questions fans try to answer in their efforts to complete the perfect bracket
Leitel's biggest upset is Air Force over North Carolina in the first round. He also likes Louisville, a 10-seed, advancing past Xavier and Mississippi State to the Sweet 16.
Leitel's Final Four is the epitome of Big 12 dominance, with Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma State all represented along with Connecticut.
Leitel said he hadn't had much luck winning pools in the past, but hoped this year would be different.

Junior linebacker helps out in Haiti
NELSON
Junior linebacker Clark McCracken serves as an example for the other football players. He helped set up a woman's clinic in Heiti during a missionary trip in January. "I really learned to be thankful for all the things we have," McCracken said.

As Mark Mangino stood in front of a restaurant packed with alumni and fans in Overland Park last month, much of the the fans' focus was on Kansas newly minted recruiting class.
But the Kansas football coach was careful to pound out a message that his Jayhawks were going to get more involved with the community.
From January 8 to 14, McCracken went on a mission trip with 15 other people to Haiti. The trip was set up by Central Baptist Seminary, where McCracken's father received his master's in divinity. His father also is the pastor at First Baptist Church in Fort Scott McCracken's hometown.
"We want our kids to see things other than the weight room and the practice fields," Mangino said.
town.
Though Haiti was not in the state of tumul that it has sunk into in recent days, the trip was still a shock for the Fort Scott junior.
shock for the Fort Scott junior. "At first I thought it was something I could do for others to help people out," McCracken said. "Once I got down there, I actually learned more from the people of Haiti."
Mangino may have found an example for his players in junior linebacker Clark McCracken.
Hali's poverty left a lasting image with McCracken.
"I've never seen poverty like that before, eight or nine people living in a one-room house with no furniture," McCracken said. "But then, when we got out to the country, I'd never seen anything so beautiful. You could see the ocean, the mountains, tropical forests."
After rebels forced Haiti's president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, out of power this month, Haiti has been in a precarious political state.
But McCracken said the unrest was not yet a problem where the group stayed, just off Cap Haitien.
The group had several goals while in the Caribbean country such as setting up a women's clinic and establishing contacts for future mission trips in May and January 2005.
trips in May and January 2008. The group brought an obstetrician-gynecologist, a group of nurses and medicine. The women's clinic saw almost 200 women in four daws.
The trip taught McCracken lessons that he's taken back to the University with him.

that we have, like a warm shower our roads or our government," McCracken said. "They have so much less than we do, but they are so happy and thankful."
After growing up in Fort Scott, McCracken played football at Fort Scott Community College, where he played for a year with Bill Whittimore.
Kansas junior linebacker
After two years at Fort Scott, McCracken transferred to Kansas to become a walk-on player.
In his first season as a Jayhawk, McCracken recorded four tackles on special teams, including a couple of highlight-reel hits.
"It's just a lot of fun and I get a chance to play." McCracken said.
But the reasons McCracken plays football have little to do with statistics or NFL and even All Conference aspirations.
McCracken doesn't just focus on mission trips and football.
He is a dedicated student and was named second team Academic All-Big 12. Second team academic members must maintain a GPA between 3.0 and 3.19.
After college McCracken wants to continue his career in volunteerism. McCracken's major is English, and he said he loved writing short stories and would love to become a teacher. He is considering joining Teach for America, typically a two-year program designed to address teaching needs in underdeveloped teaching areas such as Haiti.
The political unrest in Haiti might lead to a postponement of McCracken's return trip in May but he remains optimistic.

Softball wins two, loses two in tourney
By Jonathan Kealing jkealing@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Editor's note: Yesterday's University Daily Kansan contained many errors. Because of a computer error, "Softball team wins two, loses two in SIU Round Robin" was not run in its correct form. The corrected story follows.
It wasn't quite a homerun, but it could be called a double.
Day one of the tournament the Jayhawks went 0-2. Facing 2003 Conference USA champion DePaul, the team trailed immediately.
The Kansas softball team (15-8) went 2-2 in this weekend's Saluki Round Robin at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
DePaul scored two runs in the top of the first inning. Kansas scored a run, and added two more in the fifth to take a 3-2 lead. DePaul roared back to life in the top of the seventh with two runs, allowing the Blue Demons a 4-3 victory.
Kansas was led by sophomore shortstop Destiny Frankenstein with two RBIs and sophomore left-fielder Ashley Frazer with two hits on three at-bats
In the second game of the doubleheader, Kansas faced Southern Illinois. The Salukis scored one in the first.
The score remained frozen at 1-0 until the top of the sixth. Kansas answered two from Southern Illinois with one of its own when Frankenstein drove in senior center fielder Mel
Wallach.
That was as close at the Jayhawks would come, as the Salukis added another run in the top of the seventh, while the Jayhawks could only notch one point in the bottom. Southern Illinois won the game 4-2.
Day two proved to be substantially more successful for the team, as they went 2-0.
The Jayhawks started the day with a victory against Illinois State, 4-3. Neither team scored until Wallach singled to left in the top of the sixth, driving in a run. Illinois State tied the game in the bottom of the seventh to send the game into extra innings.
The two teams traded points in the ninth inning with each team scoring one run. It was not until the 11th inning when Kansas drove in two runs that won the game. Wallach again drove in a run, this time with a triple, and left herself in scoring position. She was driven home on a squeeze bunt later in the inning.
Illinois State drove in one run, with the help of a wild pitch, but was unable to muster the two points necessary to force inning 12.
In its last game of the tournament, Kansas faced Tennessee Tech. Kansas won the game 2-1 in the tenth inning.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
INDIANAPOLIS—The NCAA selection committee started a debate when it made Saint Joseph's a No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Hawks want to silence the critics and prove they were worthy of a top spot.
NCAA names Saint Joseph's No.1 seed, sparking debate
worthy of a top spot. Saint Joseph's joined Kentucky, Duke and Stanford as the four No. 1 seeds, and the seeding sparked an argument between Martelli and CBS commentator Billy Packer.
The Hawks (27-1) didn't even have time to celebrate the first top seed in school history before Packer started questioning whether Saint Joseph's belonged in the company of other top seeds after losing to Xavier by 20 points in the Atlantic 10 tournament.
Martelli responded by calling Packer a "jackass", and Packer countered by saying he helped Wake Forest beat Saint Joseph's in the 1962 tournament.
Martelli seemed more concerned about trying to prove Packer—and others—wrong when they open play Thursday against Liberty (18-14) in Buffalo, N.Y.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The opening round of the National Invitation Tournament provides a homecoming of sorts for Michigan coach Tommy Amaker and his Missouri counterpart and friend, Quin Snyder.
Two former teammates face each other as rival coaches
The two former Duke players and assistant coaches will face each other for the first time as head coaches tonight when Amaker's 18-11 Wolverines host Snyder's 16-13 Tigers at Crisler Arena.
The winner will face either Oklahoma or LSU, which play tomorrow night. Second round games will be played March 20-23.
"I haven't talked to Quin yet, but I imagine that we both would like to have played someone else to start the tournament so that we could have extended our seasons," Amaker said yesterday. "Obviously, that won't be the case after (Tuesday) night. But that's the way the draw has been determined, so we'll go on from there."
Amaker and Snyder were teammates for two seasons from 1985 to 1987 at Duke and were assistants together under Coach Mike Krzyzewski from 1993 to 1997.

MESA, Ariz. — Kerry Wood pitched four scoreless innings as the Chicago Cubs beat the Kansas City Royals 3-2 yesterday.
Cubs victorious over Royals with four scoreless innings
yesterday.
Wood, the Cubs' scheduled opening-day starter, gave up two hits. He struck out four and didn't walk any batters.
"Everything felt really good today," Wood said. "Mechanics were the most important thing, staying smooth throughout."
The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fourth inning. Corey Paterson led off for the Cubs and legged out a double to center field. The hard-
hit ball went off the glove of Royals shortstop Angel Berroa, who moved to his left but was unable to make the play.
Patterson took third on Moises Alou's groundout to short and came home when Derrek Lee hit a sacrifice fly to center.
The Royals tied the game in the fifth against relief pitcher Sergio Mitre. With two outs, Mitre hit Berroa with a pitch. Carlos Beltran drove Berroa home with a double to left-center.
Kansas City got a strong outing from starting pitcher Jeremy Affeldt. The left-hander worked five innings and gave up three hits and one run. He said he felt no effects from a previous blister problem on his left middle finger.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 16).
You can learn a lot if you focus between now and December. By next spring you'll finish (or abandon) all of your projects.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
Finish the project you've been working on, then set up a celebration. You and your friends need a break, but don't take too much time, and don't spend too much.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a7.
Make one final push, then maintain the status quo for a while. An authority figure may be starting to feel threatened. Better keep quiet.
Gemini(May21-June21).Today is a 6.
Don't accept an invitation that will require time and money. You're better off finishing what you've started. That will bring you greater satisfaction.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an 8.
If you can't say anything nice, it's
best not to say anything at all. Let your friends be confrontational while you be the nice guy again.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
Once you've agreed to do a job that needs to be done, relax for a while with a person who always helps make your visions come true.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is an 8.
You know it's true love when you start making plans for the future and you're excited about it. It's important that the two of you figure out who'll do what.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a
Once you get your place cleaned up, you'll be able to entertain tonight. That'll be much more romantic than going out.
Scorpio (Oct.23-Nov.21). Today is a 7.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 6.
You'll get the opportunity to put your plans into effect. Unfortunately, this is a good way to find out which parts won't work.
Friends provide interesting distractions, but don't let them pull you too far off track or there's apt to be trouble.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 9.0
If you're not getting anywhere using one tactic, try something else. Express your appreciation and draw pretty pictures of the future.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 5.
TODAY'S PUZZLE
Something you want or need for your house is closer than you ever realized. It could be that it's in your closet or attic and just needs a little work. Dig around — it may be just what you're looking for.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
Payback can be a bummer sometimes, and that's apt to be the case now. Don't try to get out of an agreement you made, even if keeping the agreement is difficult.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 16).
You can learn a lot if you focus between now and December. By next spring you'll finish (or abandon) all of your projects.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
Finish the project you've been working on, then set up a celebration. You and your friends need a break, but don't take too much time, and don't spend too much.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a7.
Make one final push, then maintain the status quo for a while. An authority figure may be starting to feel threatened. Better keep quiet.
Gemini(May 21-June 21). Today is a 6.
Don't accept an invitation that will require time and money. You're better off finishing what you've started. That will bring you greater satisfaction.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an 8.
If you can't say anything nice, it's
best not to say anything at all. Let your friends be confrontational while you be the nice guy again.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
Once you've agreed to do a job that needs to be done, relax for a while with a person who always helps make your visions come true.
virgo (Aug. 23.Sept. 22). Today is an #.
You know it's true love when you start making plans for the future and you're excited about it. It's important that the two of you figure out who'll do what.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 6.
Once you get your place cleaned up, you'll be able to entertain tonight. That'll be much more romantic than going out.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
You'll get the opportunity to put your plans into effect. Unfortunately, this is a good way to find out which parts won't work.
Friends provide interesting distractions, but don't let them pull you too far off track or there's apt to be trouble.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 9.0
if you're not getting anywhere using one tactic, try something else. Express your appreciation and draw pretty pictures of the future.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 5.
Something you want or need for your house is closer than you ever realized. It could be that it isn't in your closet or attic and just needs a little work. Dig around — it may be just what you're looking for.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
TODAY'S PUZZLE
Payback can be a bummer sometimes, and that's apt to be the case now. Don't try to get out of an agreement you made, even if keeping the agreement is difficult.

POOLS: Fans across the nation attempt to predict champions
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Office of Admissions and Scholarships. Kuckelman has followed basketball since she was a kid, but this is only her second year participating in a pool.
She said pools were a good way to liven-up the tournament action.
"It's fun to see how people pick certain teams and see how things play out." Kuckelman said.
She says she's heard of people going through their bracket by picking winners because of mascots or states. Kuckelman prefers to crunch the numbers, incorporating strength of schedule, record and hot streaks to decide who will move on to the latter stages of the tournament.
Kuckelman said she loved Kansas but regretlessly left the Jayhawks out of her Final Four, choosing instead Kentucky, Oklahoma State. Cincinnati and Maryland.
"I have to be realistic," Kuckelman said.
Careful research is also what Ben Bammes, Topeka junior, uses to fill out his bracket. Unlike Kuckelman, his research has led him to think Kansas will be the national champion at the tournament's end.
Besides Kansas, Bammes said he hadn't made any picks yet, but would wait a couple of days to
He said he had participated in tournament pools since high school and found it a way to make all the games of March Madness more exciting.
weigh the possibilities before making his final decisions.
"It gets you into games that you wouldn't be rooting for one team or another." Bammes said.
Bammes lives in K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall and plans to participate in a pool this year with other residents of the hall.
He said even if Kansas happened to lose, he would still be engaged in the tournament because of the pool he was participating in.
Bammes said his favorite part of being in a pool was the element of competition between himself and people he knew. March Madness,he said,presents a unique forum for that competition.
Although Bammes has Kansas as the final winner, he will his use research to determine the fates of the other teams.
"It's so massive," Bammes said. "In any game anybody can beat anybody."
Then he, like the multitude of other pool-participating fans this month, will sit down with a pencil or at his keyboard, painstakingly work out every 6 vs. 11 seed upset possibility, every Cinderella

TOURNAMENT: 'Kansan' predicts few upsets for Phoenix bracket
Edited by Joe Hartigan
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
consistency, but is still dangerous. BYU will present a nice challenge, receiving an at-large bid from the WAC. The Cougars have a senior trio that combines to average nearly 35 points per game. They are anchored by senior center Rafael Arraujo, who averages 12.3 points and 9.9 rebounds per game and is a surefire first round NBA draft pick come June. BYU will give Syracuse its money's worth. Prediction - Syracuse 82, BYU 70
No. 4 Maryland (19-11) vs No. 13 UTEP (24-7)
Karma could bite Maryland pretty hard. The Terps lost 11 regular season games, including nine in conference play. Yet they played their best ball at the best time, winning the ACC Tournament. Do they deserve to be in? Yes. Do they deserve a No. 4 seed? No. Maryland is very talented, but at the same time is very young and inexperienced. Maryland starts four sophomores and a senior, with three freshmen coming right off the bench. Sophomore guard Ryan
Gilchrist needs to stay hot into the NCAA Tourney. UTEP is underrated and could shock Maryland. The Miners start four guys over 6-foot-5. Maryland has had several disappointments this season, and this might get added to the list. Prediction — UTEP 75, Maryland 74
No. 6 Vanderbilt(21-9) vs. No. 11 Western Michigan (26-4)
Vanderbilt 73
Give Vanderbilt credit for weathering a tough SEC season and receiving an at-large NCAA Tourney bid. The Commodores have a huge frontcourt, including the school's all-time leading scorer, Matt Freije. The Kansas City senior averages 19.1 points per game and is the best player you've never heard of. On the other hand, Western Michigan is the best team you've never heard of. The Broncos have great height and unbelievably smooth shooters. Forward Mike Williams, 6-foot-8, and guard Ben Reed, 6-foot-3, are both big and are two of the nation's purest shooters. No one knows about Western Michigan right now, but come next weekend, the Broncos could be a household name. Prediction — Western Michigan 83,
No. 3 North Carolina State (20-9) vs.
No. 14 Louisiana-Lafayette (20-8)
North Carolina State could be the most overrated No. 3 seed in a long time. The Wolfpack probably won't be around after the opening weekend. They do, however, have a few great players. Julius Hodge is a 6-foot-7 wingman who can run the point, and scores 18.1 points a game. He can also score 50 at will. Marcus Melvin and Scooter Sherrill also highlight a talented and experienced starting five. On the other hand, NC State slipped early in the season. The Ragin' Cajuns are scary because they nearly upset Arizona in Tucson earlier this year, and boast five players who average double figures in points per game. North Carolina State should squeak by, but ULA will leave with much-deserved respect. Prediction — North Carolina State 93, ULA 90 (OT)
No. 7 DePaul (21-9) vs. No. 10 Dayton (24-8)
DePaul is a great team that people are just starting to find out about. The Blue Demons' top sib players are all at least 6-foot-5 which will come in handy on the boards against a tough Dayton squad. DePaul's two big men Delonte Holland and Andr
Brown, can score at will. The Blue Demons have also earned huge victories this season against Cincinnati and Louisville. Dayton was last year's biggest disappointment, losing in the opening round as a No. four-seed. It returns a lot of guys from last year's team, more important than forward Keith Waleskowski. He's a scorer and a bruiser in the middle. Dayton will compete, but DePaul will kill them with outside shooting. Prediction — DePaul 81, Dayton 62
No. 2 Connecticut (27-6) vs. No. 15 Vermont (22-8)
Vermont is a great story, having made its way to two consecutive NCAA Tournaments, but will once again leave immediately. UConn is one of the nation's top three teams in terms of overall talent and depth. Now it just depends on which Huskies team shows up over the next couple of weeks. If Emeka Okafor and Charlie Villanueva are ready to go at full strength, it is nearly a guarantee that UConn will move on to the Sweet 16 in Phoenix. The X-factor is point guard Ben Gordon, who is one of the nation's top-two scoring point guards along with St. Joseph's Jamee Nelson. Prediction – UConn 98, Vermont 52

IN ITS 100TH YEAR AS THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Vol.114 Issue No.115
By Andy Marso
amarso@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Senate to decide fate of safety fee
Projects in jeopardy
Student Senate will discuss the future of the campus safety fee tonight. A number of safety projects will be in jeopardy unless Senate votes to renew the fee.
It was started 10 years ago amidst concerns that the University of Kansas' administration wasn't providing enough lighting on campus. It included a "sunset" provision that would cause the fee to expire this year after all the proposed lighting projects had been finished.
Shannon Bell, Campus Safety Advisory Board chairwoman and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said that the fee should be renewed because there was more work to be done and that, in retrospect, the sunset provision shouldn't have been included.
"I can see how it was a good idea at the time, but the campus has developed over the past 10 years and it needs more lighting," she said.
the fee is $2 per student per semester and generates about $85,000 a year, depending on enrollment. The Office of the Provost matches that amount. It was scheduled to go before Senate's Fee Review subcommittee in April. Ryan Faulconer, the subcommittee chairman, learned last week that the safety fee would expire unless the Board of Regents received a proposal for its renewal before March 31.
Faulconer, the Finance Committee Chairman, said he thought the subcommittee had until the end of the year to review the fee because the Board of Regents had approved a fee for the new Multicultural Resource Center last May.
Bell said the board had identified five large-scale safety projects it wanted to complete in the near future. It wouldn't be able to complete them if the fee expired this year. The projects are expected to cost about $195,000.
CAMPUS SAFETY PROJECTS
The campus safety fee will expire this year unless Student Senate votes to extend it tonight. Here are projects that have been planned, but will not be complete without the fee:

Kansan staff writer
The Kansas Arson Task Force is following more than 140 leads in the investigation of 15 linked fires.
The task force issued a reward of up to $10,000 Monday for information leading to an arrest and conviction for the series of fires in the Johnson County and Lawrence areas.
Fifteen recent fires have been labeled suspicious, three of which were in Lawrence, including one at the University of Kansas.
The task force is providing $5,000 of the reward, while the city of Olathe is donating $4,000 and the Arson hotline is giving $1,000.
University of Kuwait Captain Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said the University was working hard on the case.

Today, for the 17th year, Lawrence will hold a St. Patrick's Day parade to celebrate the holiday.
The parade will start at 1 p.m. in South Park and meander down Massachusetts Street.
The parade committee has received close to 70 entries with more than 1,400 participants scheduled to march, co-chair Gene Shaughnessy said.
All funds raised by the parade committee will be donated to the Crown Casting Club, an organization for children.

Enrollment numbers strain budgets
By Ron Knox
rknox@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Rising enrollment numbers could make it more difficult for students to enroll in necessary courses.
Since KU administration announced earlier this month that enrollment had reached an all-time high, faculty and staff in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences have scrambled to find resources.
High enrollment has forced some departments within the college, such as communication studies, to add sections or teachers, but the funds aren't sufficient to compensate for the additional students.
Enrollment problems forced Heather O'Brien, a communications studies major, to stay in a school a fifth year because she couldn't get into classes she needed to graduate.
Robert Rowland, chairman of communication studies said the department tried to accommodate students like O'Brien.
"At this rate, it seems like I'll never graduate," the Dallas senior said.
But there are 15 major students per faculty member, which makes makes managing class sizes difficult, Rowland said.
"We work exceptionally hard at getting graduating seniors their classes," he said.
"I would place the blame at the feet of the Legislature because they don't seem to be interested in funding education at any level."
David Dewar
Associate chairman of the department of Humanities and Western Civilization
The department has expanded both section times and class sizes to try to compensate for the excess of students. Rowland said.
"We've stretched as far as we can in both directions," Rowland said. "The balance has been difficult, but we're doing OK."
The college has provided as much assistance as it could, Rowland said, including additional fund that allowed the department to hire a new professor last year.
The college asked the provost office for an additional $200,000 last week to help with budget problems, said Lindy Eakin. vice-provost.
The provosts provided CLAS with $250,000 last fall.
But that additional support isn't enough, said David Dewar, associate chairman of the department of Humanities and Western Civilization.
GROWING STUDENT BODY
Enrollment has grown since last spring, putting a strain on some College of Liberal Arts and Sciences departments. More students mean a need for more class sections and professors, which cost money.
- Spring enrollment: 27,772 (new record)
- Previous enrollment: 27,569 (Spring 1993)
- Enrollment last spring: 27,463

Dewar said that because of inadequate state funding, faculty levels in his department have remained stable while the number of students has risen.
The University, a state-funded institution, suffers when economic problems in the state cause budget cuts.
"I would place the blame at the feet of the Legislature, because they don't seem to be interested in funding education at any level." Dewar said.
he said. Larger class sizes don't work, Dewar said. It's hard enough for students to participate in smaller classes, let alone larger, more intimidating environments, he said.
Freshman and sophomores, retained at a higher rate over the last five years, provide much of the additional tuition money the provosts office allocates within the University, Eakin said.
Three years of budget cuts, plus possible cuts this year, have strapped departments for funding. Without funding, both the department and students face few options, he said.
And students who choose to take required Western Civilization courses in smaller classes at community colleges don't receive the same quality of education, he said.
"There aren't any easy solutions," Dewar said.
Kim Wilcox, dean of the college, said CLAS received a portion of any extra tuition money to help provide additional sections or professors. Wilcox said that as of now, he hadn't targeted any specific sections to add.
.
Dewer said the Humanities and Western Civilization department suffered from the same enrollment problems as many departments on campus, so taking extra tuition money wouldn't help the University.
"It's literally a situation where we rob Peter to pay Paul. It doesn't help anybody." Dewar said.
The weight of the money problem should not rest solely on student's shoulders, he said.
"I'm no advocate for increased tuition," Dewar said. "Successful universities isn't about tuition. It's about responsible taxpayers."

Possible dangers in bill permitting concealed guns
TOPEKA — Opponents of a bill permitting Kansans to carry concealed handguns said yesterday the measure is flawed because people could carry their weapons into churches and places where children gather.
The Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee had its second day of hearings on the concealed carry bill, which the House passed earlier this month.
The measure would require the state to issue concealed carry permits to any
Kansan who qualifies and pays a $150 application fee.
On Monday, Sen. John Vratil, a Federal and State Affairs Committee member, had said churches should be added to the list of places where carrying concealed weapons still would be illegal even if the bill passes.
Under the bill, concealed handguns would be prohibited in courthouses,jails, prisons, polling places, bars, taverns, the Statehouse and the Kansas State Fair.
Yesterday, Kim Gulley, a lobbyist for the League of Kansas Municipalities, said cities should be allowed to prohibit concealed guns at community centers. parks and swimming pools.
And Mark Desetti, lobbyist for the Kansas-National Education Association, said concealed guns should be prohibited wherever school activities occur.
"How can we allow firearms where children congregate?" he said in testimony.
Under the bill, people would qualify for a concealed-carry permit if they were 21 and American citizens, had undergone eight hours of gun training and did not suffer from a mental illness or drug and alcohol addiction.
Vratil also said he wondered why the right to carry concealed would be limited to U.S. citizens.

Taking a break from his duties in the Office of Multicultural Affairs, associate director Tony Daniels is in the office lobby reenacting the final play of an intermural basketball game, complete with dribbling, spinning and shooting.

"There's a fine line of balancing academic support and an environment that allows students to

Although it's sometimes difficult to maintain this balance, it's necessary to build relationships with students and make them feel welcome, Page said. Page also said he required his staff to keep their doors open at all times and to allow students to stop by without appointments.
Scott said she comes to the office every day between classes to talk with fellow students and the staff. She said people such as Page and Daniels served as her advisers and mentors.

"We all have comfortable relationships with everybody." Scott said. "They really care about us."

Group gathers for inter-faith dialogue
A movie that has been one of the most divisive in recent cinema became an instrument of unity Monday night.
Representatives from three different faiths — Roman Catholicism, Judaism and Protestantism — gathered at the Jewish Student Center, 940 Mississippi St., to discuss the moral and the theological implications of Mel Gibson's film The Passion of the Christ.
"It was a very good start and we hope to have more inter-faith dialogues in the future," said Polli Kenn, program director of the University of Kansas Hillel Foundation.
The film has been in theaters for more than a month and chronicles the final three days of the life of Jesus Christ.
"I thought it was a really beautiful story about Jesus, but there were a lot of scenes that got in the way and some very anti-Semitic scenes."
Melissa Horen
Overland Park freshman
Christ suffered under the hands of the Romans has moved many and shocked more.
"I thought it was a really beautiful story about Jesus," said Melissa Horen, Overland Park freshman and participant in the discussion. "But there were a lot of scenes that got in the way and some very anti-Semitic scenes."
Horen said she found scenes depicting the Jewish pharisees, or elders, antagonistic treatment of Christ and the portrayal of the
Roman governor Pontius Pilate particularly upsetting.
particularly upsetting "I didn't expect it to be so violent," Horen said.
The violence in the film also sent shock waves of worry to others in the Jewish community.
"My fear is that it could spread anti-Semitism in such a way that hasn't been seen in 50 years," Jeremy Krashin, Overland Park senior, said.
Such backlash made the need for such an inter-faith dialogue clear.

cess. The three groups spent two hours discussing various aspects of the film through the lenses of their individual faiths, Horen said.
"It was a very calm atmosphere;" Horen said.
She said the Jewish students were able to explain what they
considered anti-Semitic in the film, such as the actions of the pharisees.
The Catholics, on the other hand, looked past some of the violence and noted the beauty of the story while the Baptists listened and offered their own Protestant perspective.
"All sides were enlightened." Horen said. "The talk helped us understand each other better."
Rev. Steve Kawiecki, American Baptist Student Fellowship associate pastor of student ministry, said he was glad to hear the divergent viewpoints.
"I think it helps to learn to listen to other people," Kawiecki said.
Horen said that once The Passion of the Christ comes out on video the groups plan to have another inter-faith discussion and will analyze the film scene by scene.

Jim Bowers, attorney for 6Wak Land Investments, said he plans to file the lawsuit within 30 days
Commissioners could not comment extensively on the issue, because the city is undergoing litigation from six other lawsuits issued by 6Wak Land Investments.
Martha Perala, who lives on Colonial Circle, south of Sixth and Wakarua streets, gathered signatures from 500 families in opposition to the building of Wal-Mart. The store would ruin the character of her neighborhood by creating traffic problems, she said.
Darren Cauton, Lawrence resident, said that the city should not try to protect its citizens from stores.

PERSPECTIVE
Plan B birth control should be available
COMMENTARY
A doctor can't refuse service based on a patient's inability to pay, but a pharmacist can refuse to give medication based on moral and religious beliefs.
Recently some pharmacists took that duty upon themselves by declining to dispense the emergency contraceptive known as the morning-after pill, or Plan B. Problems with accessibility and the beliefs of health care providers are the best arguments for the Food and Drug Administration to approve the drug for over-the-counter sales.
Alea Smith opinion@kansan.com
Since October 2003, Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc. has tried to get the pill approved for over-the-counter sales. The emphasis of the pharmaceutical company is accessibility. Because the pill is most effective within the first 24 hours after unprotected intercourse, accessibility to the drug is crucial to its success and function. If taken within 72 hours it has been shown to reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancy by 89 percent.
Currently, emergency contraceptives such as Plan B are only available by prescription. The problem with this is most
incidences of unprotected sex don't occur during normal business hours, making it difficult to ensure the pill is taken within the 72-hour time frame. If the drug were available over the counter, patients would not face this time constraint.
The FDA was set to decide the status of Plan B on Feb. 20, but the decision was delayed until May. Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc. cited the need for more time to review adolescent use of the drug.
Four days after this decision date passed, compelling news came out about the distribution of emergency contraceptives. A rape victim in Denton, Texas,
was turned away from filling her prescription of the morning-after pill at an Eckard Pharmacy. Pharmacist Gene Herr cited moral and religious convictions for denying the girl treatment. This girl had already been victimized once, now by being denied treatment she was victimized again.
Herr sides with anti-abortion advocates who believe providing the emergency contraceptives is equal to participating in abortion. They contend that pregnancy begins with fertilization, not with implantation of the fertilized egg.
In actuality, Plan B and other emergency contraceptives are nothing like abortion. Plan B is a hormonal contraceptive, similar to normal birth control. The pill works to delay or inhibit ovulation, prevent fertilization or the implantation ofa fertilized cell. Emergency contraception has no effect once pregnancy has been established.
In essence, the morning-after pill is an abortion preventative. In a study published in the January/February 2003 issue of Perspectives on Sexual & Reproductive Health, in 2000 an estimated 51,000 abortions were avoided by use of emergency contraceptives. Antiabortion advocates should view the pill as another form of birth control.
From doctors to pharmacists and everyone in between who tries to decide what is morally right, over-the-counter Plan B would bring immense benefits.
Pharmacies have varied policies regarding instances such as the rape victim's. Walgreens Pharmacy allows pharmacists to deny treatment but requires them to find another pharmacist to fill the prescription. Eckard's policy states that pharmacists cannot deny filling a prescription based on moral or religious beliefs.
beneath.
Each pharmacy should not be able to decide whether to distribute emergency contraceptives. Pharmacists should fall under the same conscience clause as other health care providers. Pharmacists and doctors alike should not legally be allowed to determine if a patient receives access to emergency contraceptives.

COMMENTARY
Amy Kelly opinton@kansan.com
Students such as Keara Hays already have a jump start. A Feb. 5 article in The University Daily Kansan focused on the student whose mother moved from Ireland to the United States in the 1970s. For Hays, learning comes in the form of several trips to the home country.
On a student budget, the economically sound option is to do a bit of detective work. Of course, sifting through piles of historical data and immigration record books could send us back to the bars before you can say, "Erin Go Bragh." Baby steps are the key.
Learning about the holiday that transforms Irish-American strangers into tight-knit clans for one day is a start. St. Patrick, a Roman, came to Ireland as a missionary and is said to have used a shamrock to educate Christians about the Trinity.

Volunteering for the St. Patrick's Day Parade or the Kansas City Irish Festival offers insight about the local Irish-American community, which has inspired such publications as the Irish Focus Newspaper out of Kansas City.
Pat O'Neill, author of From the Bottom Up: The Story of the Irish in Kansas City, said outlets are numerous for students who are beginning their hunt for data about their Irish ancestors.
"I had great fun going through the old city directories and turn-of-the-century secular and non-secular papers," O'Neill said. "Start by looking up dates around St. Pat's."
Kathryn Conrad, professor of English and secretary for the American Conference for Irish Studies, suggests exploring

"Right now we're kind of focusing on the campus safety fee because if we don't do anything it will go away, whereas some of the other fees just won't increase or change." Faulconer said.
The safety fee has been used to fund a number of lighting projects, emergency blue phones, crosswalks and other campus improvements. Bell said campus additions, such as the new Hall Center and Reger Scholarship Hall, would need lighting, in addition to the projects the board already has planned.
"There's been a lot of crime and safety issues this year, and it's not in the students' best interests to cut the fee when there's still things to be done." Bell said.
Reger Scholarship Hall will be located behind the Amini scholarship halls on Ohio Street between 13th and 14th streets. The new Hall Center will be across from its current location, adjacent to the Dole Human Development Center.

Professor, students designing Polish airport
By 2015, a major international airport in Warsaw, Poland will be built. And this European airport has strong ties to the University of Kansas.
Woijciech Lesnikowski, distinguished professor of architecture and urban design, is working with 14 fifth-year architecture students on a design of a high-tech airport named after the Polish composer and pianist Frederick Chopin. The airport will completely replace the current airport in Warsaw.
A Poland native, Lesnikowski was invited by the Polish Ministry of Infrastructure two years ago to be the principal architect in the design of the airport. HOK, an architecture firm in St. Louis, will assist Lesnikowski and his students with the project.
The firm asked the U.S. Department of Commerce for a $750,000 grant for the first phase of the airport design, which Lesnikowski expects to finish by Mav.
This project is an opportunity for an American company to get exposure abroad, he said.
"The airport is considered to be a hub for the Polish airline industry, but also a European gateway to Asia," Lesnikowski said.
This isn't the first airport Lesnikowski has designed: John Paul II International Airport in Krakow, Poland was finished two years ago.

known other European cities with major airports Frankfurt and Amsterdam, he said.
With the new airport, the city of Warsaw would be as well-
The Department of Commerce granted $350,000 to the project, which brought in six million passengers annually.

Lesnikowski said the Frederick Chopin Airport would service 40 million passengers. The hightech design of the project includes futuristic features using glass and metal. And the airport will use solar energy — not electricity, he said.
Wojciech Lesnikowski, professor of architecture and urban design; Kayoung Yu, South Korea senior; Sean Mongey, St. Louis senior; Jason Kobylarak, St. Louis senior; and Nathan Freise, Union, Mo., senior, discussed design changes that could be made to their airport project yesterday in Marvin Hall. Lesnikowski is working with the students to design an airport that will be built in Warsaw, Poland.
"The technology applied to the airport is equal to that of airplanes," Lesnikowski said. "The forms and shapes remind us of the forms of aircraft."
The students in Lesnikowski's class will work on designs of components such as terminals, hotels and parking garages, which are based off his concepts and coordination.
"I know he's very passionate about it," he said. "He's trying to steer parts of the architecture program in a different direction."
Jason Kobylarek. St. Louis fifth-year student, said he took the class for the opportunity to
Sean Mongey, St. Louis fifth year student, said he had helped Lesnikowski with the project since the beginning.
actually be built.
The freedom of exploring Lesnikowski's design will be useful for him when he starts his own career, he said.
This is an exceptional opportunity to participate in real work, not just academic work, which helps my students use technol-
He said major projects like his were not typical at the university level. He has not seen a project like this at any other architecture school in the nation.
Both of Lesnikowski's airport projects have been published in architecture magazines in Poland.
Chopin airport project will be published in Architectural Records, a magazine in New York.
Lesnikowski's tentative plan is to work on a project with skyscrapers in China.
HOLIDAY: Students fight temptation

Shaughnessy, who shares the responsibility for today's festivities with Steve Cummings, said he expected Massachusetts Street to be packed with people for the parade. These spectators will have no trouble finding places to go before and after the parade.
A slew of bars on Massachusetts Street and throughout Lawrence will be opening early to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, including It's Brothers at 1105 Massachusetts St., Johnny's Tavern at 401 N. Second St. and Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St.
Red Lyon, an Irish-style pub, will open at
10 a.m. today and offer traditional green beer all day, owner Jerry Neverve said.
Bagpipers will perform Irish music at 5 p.m. and an Irish band called Boys of the Prairie will close out the night at the bar.
Neverve said that St. Patrick's Day was the perfect time to celebrate America's Irish heritage and to get crazy.
"It's time to play," Neverve said.
But that might not be the case for students at the University of Kansas.
With midterm exams looming over the heads of many students, St. Patrick's Day might mean books instead of beer.
Ian Stark, Yates Center senior, said that the prospect of multiple tests would keep him from going on the town this year.
"I've got a test to study for, a show to do, and a ton of midterms." Stark said. "I don't think I'll be doing a whole lot of partying."
Stark said he thought some students might be lured out to the bars.
Tyler Herbster, Valley Falls junior, might be tempted tonight.
"I've got too many tests coming along," Herbster said.
Then, after a few seconds, Herbster came clean with his real intentions.
“OK, I might go out.” Herbster said. “Or at least sit at home, drink green beer and play beer pong.”

ARSON: Many leads being pursued
The three fires in Lawrence were in Watson Library, Clinton Parkway Nursery and Garden, 4900 Clinton Parkway, and the dental office of Keith Jones, 647 Country Club Terrace.
"We're following several leads in conjunction with the Arson Task Force, but we haven't nailed anything down yet," Bailey said.
Larry Scott, senior special agent and public information officer for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said every lead phoned in to the Arson/Explosive Report Line is being followed.
If you have any information regarding these crimes, call the Olathe Fire Department's Arson/Explosive Report Line at (913) 971-5060.
There's been a lot of long hours that
people have put in," Scott said. "Day and night. We're not going to give up, we're going to stay with it until the end."
Many people have called the report line concerning the composite sketch released by authorities, Scott said. He said the man in the sketch had not been seen at any fires other than the one at Watson Library and that he was not a suspect but a person of interest.

Walkout
November March 18
The walkout was organized by the Red Cross to protest against the lack of resources and support for homeless people. The event aimed to raise awareness about the plight of homeless individuals and promote a culture of solidarity and compassion.
"The walkout is a testament to our commitment to helping those in need," said Linda Johnson, a member of the walkout committee. "We are committed to providing shelter and support to those who are struggling."
The walkout was attended by many residents of the city, including families with children, seniors, and other vulnerable populations. The event also featured speeches from local leaders and community members, who expressed their solidarity with the homeless.
The walkout was held at the City Hall Plaza on Wednesday, March 19, from 10 AM to 4 PM. The event was organized by the Red Cross and supported by various organizations and groups.

Stephanie Bowlin, Olathe senior, started to make a sheet with the Kansas Jayhawk logo on it. Bowlin said she hoped the sheet would expand into all of the Big 12 Conference teams. "We're both just business minded," Bowlin said about her and her mother, who helped her to get started with the business.
By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
ONLINE >> ON THE PHONE >> ON CAMPUS >> ON THE STREET
Javhawk bedsheets on the way
When Stephanie Bowlin told her mom her freshman year that she wanted bedsets with Jayhawk logos, her mom thought she could just go out and buy some.
She didn't imagine that Stephanie would have to start her own business to get her sheets.
With several thousand dollars invested in the business, the Jayhawk sheets and pillow cases are in, and go on sale soon.
Stephanie's entrepreneurial dream is about to come true.
Bowlin said she had found some sheets at JC Penney's with Jayhawk logos on them, but found they were geared to younger kids rather than college students.
"I'm really excited, from day one when I thought of it, it's been an eye opener," Bowlin, Olathe senior, said.
Next, Bowlin developed contacts on the East Coast and found a manufacturer in India that would produce the linens at the cheapest cost.
The first step in getting the business started was contacting the NCAA and sending a prototype to get a license for the logo.
type to give the NCAA officials agreed to give the University of Kansas an eight percent royalty of sales.
Now Bowlin has an initial shipment of 152 boxes, each containing 18 sheet sets, and she is ready to start selling to students.
The business, named College Sheets, is managed by Stephanie, her mom, Marcheta, and her uncle and aunt in-law.
Costs of the business have totaled $200,000, mostly covered by a small business loan from Bank of America.
"As my mother would say, she mortgaged her whole future for me." Stephanie said.
Marcheta doesn't quite recall having said she mortgaged her future for Stephanie.
"I think what I told her is I invested my retirement a little earlier than I wanted," Marcheta said. "There's a lot of money tied into this."
College Sheets has advertised locally and wants to start selling sheets at the Kansas Union, the Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Rd., and the University Book Shop, 1116 W.23rd St.
A major source of advertising has been establishing the company's Web site, www.collegesheets.com, with Internet search engines such as Google.
Bowlin was advised throughout the development of the business by Paul Mason, professor of accounting and Dennis Rosen, associate professor of business.
Mason said that seeing students with their own business ideas was not rare.
About 10 students see him every semester, and one of those generally has a chance to work out.
Mason said he expected Bowlin's business to be among one of the 10 that works out, although he admitted to being skeptical at first.
His initial reservations quickly vanished when he saw how prepared she was.
Mason said the main difference between a business idea that works and one that does not was the amount of research and preparation involved prior to starting the business.
"What impressed me was she really had a game plan," Mason said. "It didn't take long for me to be impressed."
Bowlin's preparation was two years in the making.
Bowlin planned on expanding the bedsheets by including other college logos that are in demand.
Aside from already having a
license for Kansas State University's Wildcat logo, she has had requests from other Big 12 Conference schools such as the University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma.
She has also heard requests for other obscure colleges such as Quinnipiac University.
For now, Stephanie just wants to get the business off the ground, which she will next week.
She said she thought her professors' help was a major influence in getting the business this far.
Mason said he thought that the business would be successful where many other's aspiring student entrepreneurs failed.
"I think she is a great example of someone who had a dream, put it on paper, got good advice, and followed through." Mason said. "I have every reason to believe she will succeed."

East Rutherford winners picked
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
SAINT 14 JOSCANS LAVIER 3
East Rutherford Region
No.1 St. Joseph's (27-1) vs. No.16 Liberty (18-14)
t. Joseph's Jameer Nelson, right, tried to steal the ball from Xavier's Dedrick Finn in Xavier's 87-67 victory in the Atlantic 10 Tournament on March 11.
Don't expect a Liberty team that has been streaky all season to contest the nation's best backcourt for long. St. Joseph's became the first team this season to have an undefeated regular season since the 1991 UNLV Runnin' Rebels. Despite a pummeling in the Atlantic 10 Tournament quarterfinals from Xavier, the Hawks are hungrier than ever now that many pundits are doubting their ability to advance past the first two rounds. Jameer Nelson and Delonte West, who combine for an average of 38.8 points per game, will have a field day against Liberty. Prediction - St. Joseph's 75, Liberty 44
No. 8 Texas Tech (22-10) vs. No. 9 Charlotte (21-8)
Bobby Knight is as seasoned of a coach as you'll find in the NCAA Tournament. Knight's team can be as good as any in this bracket, and that's because Texas Tech has a lot of guys who can score. All five of the Red Raiders' starters average at least eight points per game. The offense runs through senior forward Andre Emmett, who scores 20.8 a game. If Emmett is in the zone, Charlotte may have no chance. The
Kansan Bracket Breakdown
Now that the NCAA Tournament brackets have been set for next weekend, it's time to bust out the pencils and erasers to predict this year's National Champ. In the spirit of the season, the Kansan's Ryan Greene will take an in-depth look every day this week at a different region of the bracket.
49ers are deep with a huge frontcourt, and also have a knack for pulling off upsets. Charlotte has no star players, but lots of solid contributors. Still, with the way Texas Tech has played of late, it's awfully hard to pick against them. Prediction — Texas Tech 65, Charlotte 63

Tournament tickets hard to come by
By Joe Bant jbant@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Another year of March Madness has officially begun, with the 64th seed of the NCAA Tournament decided last night.
The rest of the tournament will begin in full force tomorrow, with half of the 64 teams squaring off in first round games. Days of 12-hour basketball coverage will follow, creating a feast for fans everywhere.
But for those at the University of Kansas wanting to see the tournament live and in person, the window of opportunity is closing fast.
The University of Kansas Athletics Department has already held a lottery to distribute its tournament tickets, and the general public seats at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo. — where the Jayhawks will play in the first round— are already sold out. Students who beat the rush and snagged tickets can be thankful. But

Kansas softball wins two games
By Jonathan Kealing
jkealing@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Kansas' softball team (17-8) kicked off the UMKC's (2-10) home season with an 8-0 victory in the first game of the doubleheader yesterday.
"I think we played really well, coming out of the Saluki Tournament," sophomore shortstop Destiny Frankenstein said. "Everyone strung our hits together, and we were able to dominate."
The game was scoreless in the first inning, until the Jayhawks notched a run on a series of Kangaroo mistakes.
Sophomore designated hitter Serena Settlemier was hit by a pitch, and was
replaced on the bases by sophomore pitcher Ashley Goodrich. Goodrich stole second and advanced to third on a passed ball. A fly ball to leftfield by sophomore third baseman Nettie Fierros drove Goodrich in.
The gap between the two teams would only get larger through the game. The Jayhawks scored three in the third, three in the fourth and added one more in the fifth to wrap up game one.

who went 1-2 and had three RBL
Settlemier went 2-2 and also contributed an RBI. Also batting in runs were senior centerfielder Mel Wallach with two, Fierros with one and sophomore leftfielder Ashley Frazer.
"Destiny's playing all around great ball. She's hitting well, and she's showing great leadership on the field," assistant coach Julie Wright said.
Wallach notched two home runs on the day, including one homer in game one and a second in game two.
"She's on fire right now," Wright said. "She came out of the SIU tournament on fire and she's continued into this week."
The Jayhawks had nine total hits, producing eight runs and just one error
Game two proved to be a little more difficult for the team,but it still led beginning to end in the 4-2 result.
in five innings. Freshman pitcher Kassie Humphreys got the victory and recorded three strikeouts. Her record now stands at 9-4.
"Kassie pitched the first, and I think UMKC was a little upset that we were able to run over them in five in game one," Frankenstein said. "They got a few key hits that allowed them their two runs."
Kansas exploded out of the gate with three runs in the first inning of the second game. Wallach notched her second

BASEBALL
Baseball's streak ended after loss to Oral Roberts
The Jayhawks lost a heartbreaker yesterday in a 2-1 game against Oral Roberts University.
The Golden Eagles struck first in the game with a RBI single in the second inning by third baseman Boomer Welles. Kansas did not answer until the seventh inning. Senior infielder Ryan Baty singled and was then driven in by senior offense Matt Tribleb's double off the right-center field fence to tie the game at 1-1. The game remained tied until the bottom of the tenth inning when ORU's Josh Lex doubled to left field end the game.
The 'Hawks (18-9-1 entered the game with momentum, after going 11-1 in the last 12 home games. That momentum hit a brick wall yesterday when Oral Roberts hit a game-winning double in the bottom of the 10th inning.
Sophomore infielder Matt Baty and Tribble led the way offensively for the Jayhawks with two hits each. Both junior infielder Travis Metcalf and sophomore infielder Ritchie Price saw the end of their hitting streaks by going 0-for-4 at the plate.

Kansas will return to Hoglund Ballpark Saturday for a two-game series against Western Illinois, starting at noon.
Sharpe
—Shane Kucera
The Jayhawks scattered six hits over nine innings in what proved to be a pitching dual between Kansas junior left-handed pitcher Scott Sharpe and Oral Roberts pitcher Justin Ramsey. Sharpe went six innings, allowing only five hits and one run. Ramsey managed to shut down the Jayhawks for seven innings, allowing only three hits and one run.

But there he was yesterday, talking about making his first NCAA tournament appearance, shocking, considering the Tar Heels' longtime standing as a national power.
PETER J. MILLER
They haven't been the tournament

Then things got worse. The next season, North Carolina went 8-20, ending a run of 27 straight NCAA appearances.
since a loss to Penn State in the second round in 2001.
"It was rough," said Manuel, a freshman on that team. "I expected a winning season, NCAA tournament and the
Final Four.
Final Four:
"We didn't live up to those expectations, so it was really tough on me, especially being so young."
"We're concerned a little bit, but I think I'm hoping that our hunger will make that be a positive for us," he said. "I cannot imagine ... anybody in the country being more hungry than we are. If we're not hungry now, then we've got some major, major problems."
Now, the Tar Heels are back as the No. 6 seed in the Atlanta Regional. North Carolina, with not a single player who has been in the tournament, opens play tomorrow against Air Force.
After playing in the NIT last year, North Carolina turned to Williams, bringing Dean Smith's former assistant back to his alma mater to return the storied program to prominence.
The inexperience makes coach Roy Williams wonder what's in store for his team.
Williams left North Carolina in the middle of its streak, but returned to find the roster lacking tournament experience that once seemed a birthright.
In fact, North Carolina has the same amount of experience as the 11th-seeded Falcons, and they're making their first trip to the NCAA tourney in 42 years.
NCAA tournament berths
Williams had led Kansas to 14 straight
42 years. North Carolina is in the tournament for the 36th time, tying it with UCLA for second-most appearances. Kentucky, the top-seed in the St. Louis Regional, is first with 45.
three national champions This year's group of Tar Heels wants to add to that lore and erase the memories of the past two seasons.
In addition, North Carolina is 81-35 all-time in the tournament with a record 15 trips to the Final Four and three national championships.
"We want to win, simple as that," said forward Jawad Williams, also a freshman on Matt Doherty's 8-20 team of 2001-02. "I don't think anybody's ready to go home and call it a year yet."
Royals out slug Rangers
The Associated Press
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Left-hander Chris George, who is trying to regain a berth in the Kansas City Royals' rotation after going back go the minors last July, gave up a home run to the Texas Rangers' Hank Blalock but retired the final seven batters he faced as the Royals beat the Rangers 12-7

Blairlock hit a George flash.
"I didn't have to turn around to watch it," George said. "He got all of it."
George made the Royals after spring training last year and won nine games, but a 7.11 earned run average got him optioned to Class AAA Omaha in July.
The Royals stroked 18 hits, including six doubles and a triple by Carlos Beltran.
Joe Randa also had two hits and drove in a pair of runs.

"Some of the base hits he gave up made you shake your head, but that's the way it goes," Rangers manager Buck Showalter said.
Snowalter said:

"I've been working my tail off with Rudy," Barajas said, speaking about hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo. "Rudy is one of the best. He's got me seeing the ball and just reacting. I got a couple of good pitches to hit and just took advantage."

The Rangers optioned infielder Jason Bourgeois to Class AA Frisco and have 49 players in camp, including 14 non-roster invites.
Royals right-hander Brad Voyles cleared waivers and was sent to Class AAA Omaha. They have 46 players in camp.

Owens granted wish will play in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA — Terrell Owens will get to play for the Philadelphia Eagles, following a settlement reached yesterday.
The San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens and Eagles agreed to a deal to send Owens to Philadelphia, which will sign him to a seven-year contract.
The Eagles sent a fifth-round draft pick to Baltimore and defensive end Brandon Whiting to San Francisco.
The Ravens get back the second-round pick they sent to the 49ers for Owens.
Owens, who spent eight seasons with San Francisco, was supposed to become a free agent March 3.
But his agent, David Joseph failed to file papers voiding the final years of his contract by a Feb.21 deadline.
The 49ers then dealt the four time Pro Bowl receiver to the Ravens on March 4, after Owens had agreed to a contract with the Eagles.
Owens protested the trade to the Ravens and insisted he wanted to play for the Eagles. The union filed a grievance on Owens' behalf to make him a free agent.
Stephen Burbank, the arbitrator for disputes between the NFL and its players' union, didn't issue a ruling because a compromise was reached.

sirable. Shannon Ortega and Janelle Anderson are two University of Kansas students who got reserved tickets through the Athletics Department lottery system. Anderson, Derby senior, has tickets to the first and second round games in Kansas City and to the Final Four, if the Jayhawks go, Ortega, Topeka junior, also has Final Four tickets if Kansas makes it that far.
TICKETS: Tournament tickets disappearing fast
Both have attended tournament games in th past, but this is their first year getting tickets through the Athletics Department. They said the department was a good way for students to get tickets.
Anderson said that the process was easy. She said she didn't know why more students didn't try to take advantage of it.
Rodney Jones, director of ticket operations, said the Athletics Department distributed tickets according to student requests.
He said students turned in a postseason lottery form where they requested tickets for the NCAA Tournament locations they desired. Students could request tickets for all locations where the Jayhawks might play, he said.
ply. The lottery for this year's tournament has already been held. Winners had until Monday to claim their tickets, which cost $50 per session.
Jones said the department held a lottery for tickets if the demand exceeded the available ticket sup-
Jones said he didn't know the exact number of people who got tickets compared to the number of people who applied.
or people who think Chris Theisen, associate director of media relations for the Big 12 Conference, said the NCAA allocated up to 550 tickets per school for the first round locations and additional tickets for later rounds, if the schools moved on.
From the number of allotted tickets, various team and administrative tickets are subtracted. Students get about 20 percent of the remaining tickets, according to the University of Kansas Athletics Corporation policy.
More students applied for tickets this year than usual, probably because the first and second round games are in nearby Kansas City, Jones said.
Students who missed out on the lottery won't have much luck getting first round tickets directly from Kemper Arena.
Eric Nemeth, marketing manager for Kemper, said the remaining tickets sold out almost as soon as it was announced that the Jayhawks would open there.
He said by noon Monday, only scattered single seats remained and those didn't last much longer.
That means that students who
still want tickets will have to try for later rounds or settle for the secondary market, which is often rife with ripoffs. The secondary market includes scalpers and ticket agencies.
barketing Dustin Bryant, Mound City senior, said he had looked at buying tickets from the secondary market before, but the prices were just too high.
He said the NCAA and the University should make tournament tickets more accessible to students by reducing prices and increasing awareness of availability. He said he didn't even know that the Athletics Department had any kind of a lottery.
lobby. Besides prices, another risk consumers run on the secondary market is counterfeit tickets.
Derek Weber, who was lucky enough to get Kemper tickets before they sold out, said he had never known anyone who had purchased counterfeit tickets, but he had seen it happen before.
The Independence, Mo., junior said he was at a game once and saw two people with the exact same ticket.
He said they had to go to security to determine which ticket was valid.
Weber said he had learned from incidents like that to avoid the secondary ticket market. But for some students, it's the only remaining option.

No team may have gotten a bigger snub from the selection committee than Wisconsin. The Badgers finished ranked in the top 10 in both polls, won the Big 10 Tournament, yet somehow wound up with a 6

is the nation's most energetic and exciting team. All five Panthers starters average double figures in scoring, and are led by point guard Carl Krauser, who was the most improved player in the Big East this year. Krauser averages 15.3 points and 4.8 assists per game.
No. 7 Memphis (21-7) vs. No. 10 South Carolina (23-10)
Fourth on the team with 11.4 points per game, Taft also leads the team with 7.7 rebounds per game. If they stay hot, the Panthers could navigate their way to the Final Four. Prediction — Pittsburgh 98, UCF 77
An alternative weapon for Pittsburgh is freshman forward Chris Taft.
This is one of the most underrated games in the tournament because the outcome will be
difficult to predict. Both teams have suffered some disappointing defeats this season, but both have had upset wins. Memphis will try to beat opponents by simply outsourcing them.
The Tigers have a powerful combo of point guard Antonio Burks and forward Sean Banks.
After those two, Memphis is not deep, which will hurt against the Gamecocks. South Carolina is steady and deep defensively.
The Gamecocks have six players who score at least eight points a game. They can also rebound, with three starters who are all at least 6-foot-7. This game will be a grind in all senses of the word. Prediction - South Carolina 66, Memphis 58.
No. 2 Oklahoma State (27-3) vs. No. 15
A 17-12 record doesn't do justice to a pretty good Eastern Washington team. However, it's a shame the team is running into Oklahoma State to open the tournament.
After getting snubbed for a much-deserved No.1 seed, Oklahoma State is a team on a mission, and will blow away its first round opponent.
The Cowboys' explosive trio of AP Big 12 Player of the Year, John Lucas, Big 12 Coaches Player of the Year, Tony Allen, and forward Joey Graham will prove how lethal they can be.
This will be one of the first round's uglier games. Prediction Oklahoma State 90, Eastern Washington 42

Royals look to round out rotation
Brian Anderson Darrel May are in three spots open
The Associated Press
Left-handers Darrell May and Brian Anderson are set. Anderson, coming off his best season after winning 14 games with a 3.78 ERA, will probably open the season April 5 against the Chicago White Sox.
SURPRISE, Ariz. — With only about two weeks left in spring training, the Kansas City Royals have two "definitives" and a crowd of intriguing possibilities.
Chicago White Sox. Two others, in all likelihood, will be left-handers Jimmy Gobble and Jeremy Affeldt, provided the blister that drove Affeldt to the bullpen last season stays gone and Gobble continues to perform beyond his tender years.
But if Affeldt has problems and the 22-year-old Gobble begins to falter, all bets will be off. Affeldt
would go back to the bullpen, where he held hitters to a.193 average last year in 18 appearances.
"Right now our main concentration is on making sure we've got Jeremy Affeldt heading in the right direction," manager Tony Pena said. "We want to make sure that he's pitching a lot so we'll know what we have. It's so far, so good with him. I expect him to be in the rotation. But anything can change."
Gobble would go back to the minors for more seasoning.
As for a fifth starter, there's plenty of time for that since the Royals figure they'll need only a four-man rotation the first few weeks of the season anyway.
While nobody will say Gobble has a starting spot locked up, it would be hard to make a case against him.
He was 4-5 with a 4.61 ERA in nine starts late last season. But he has looked solid in three spring appearances, putting together a 2-0 record and a sparkling 1.04 ERA in 8-2-3 innings.
throwing the ball real well," said Pena. "He's been making a good case for himself. You cannot go away from that. He has been throwing the ball well."
"I tell you what, he's been
General manager Allard Baird also likes Gobble's attitude.
"I went down last year to visit him on a day when he didn't even pitch." Baird said. "I went down to talk to him and see what he was thinking mentally. I already knew he was a good pitcher. I was more thinking about him mentally."
Two other possibilities, at least by late April, may be veteran right-hander Kevin Appier and second-year right-hander Miguel Asencio.
Appier was treated over the offseason for an elbow problem and Asencio, who has a terrific change-up, had surgery to remove a bone chip from his right elbow.
said. "He has to come back and throw. He threw yesterday. We'll get him on the program and see where he goes from there. We'll have to wait and see."
Both could be ready by late April or early May, and both could need long-term rehab.
The youngest possibility is the one that most excites fans — 20-year-old Zack Greinke. The right-hander has excelled at every level in his rapid ascent up the minor league ladder. Except for one outing, he has also looked good this spring.
"With two weeks left in spring training, I do not see Asencio on the ballclub right away," Pena
"If I was a fan, I'd want to see him out there, too," Baird said.
spring.
But the Royals are determined not to rush him no matter what the fans demand.
They may not see him line up on the field for opening-day introductions. But it's a good bet the confident young right-hander will make his major league debut some time this year.
"I think some time this year is a good way to put it," Baird said. "But he's not a guarantee to break camp. I'm not going to say that. We're dealing with human beings, with human emotions, physical abilities as well as mental abilities."
Longhorns poised for tourney run
And why not?
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Longhorns are ready for another run to the Final Four.
And why is it important that the team is loaded with experience and a bench that goes 11 players deep.
The NCAA Tournament is the last chance for seniors Brandon Mouton, Royal Ivey, Brian Boddicker and James Thomas—keys to Texas' success in the past several seasons.
Add freshman forward P.J. Tucker and the late-season emergence of junior center Jason Klotz, and the Longhorns boast a team that believes it can compete with anyone in the ultra-intense atmosphere of the NCAA tournament.
The third-seeded Longhorns (23-7) meet Princeton (20-7) in a first-round game tomorrow in Denver.
"With the depth we have," Boddicker said, "I think we have all the ingredients to win a national championship."
The Longhorns faced questions early this season over whether they would slip in the Big 12 Conference after guard T.J. Ford left for the NBA following his sophomore season.
The fall wasn't far. The Longhorns spent much of the season ranked in or around the Top 10 and finished second in the Big 12 in the regular season and the conference tournament.
Mouton leads the team in scoring at 13.4 points and Tucker's arrival pushed Thomas out of the starting lineup. The freshman ranks second on the team in points (10.7) and leads in rebounding with 6.8 a game.
While Texas has missed Ford's presence at point guard, the Longhorns have countered with a rotating lineup that wears opponents down.
The Longhorns have 11 players averaging at least 12 minutes. Only Mouton and Ivey average more than 25 minutes a game.
Ivey started the season at the point and still handles the ball late in close games.
"The word for our whole team this year would be consistency," said coach Rick Barnes, who has guided the Longhorns to the NCAA tournament in each of his six years at Texas. "That's what it comes down to. Guys have picked up the slack."
Texas has a wealth of players who have made big shots down the stretch to win games. Boddicker, Ivey and Mouton hit late shots to force overtime in wins over Providence, Texas Tech and Missouri.
Ivey hit the game-winner in the final seconds against Nebraska, and Tucker made the final shot at the buzzer to beat Providence on the road.
All this experience and depth didn't prevent a late-season skid.
The Longhorns lost three of their last five games.

Rock star Love tried for drugs
The Associated Press
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Rock star Courtney Love showed up two hours late yesterday for a hearing on drug charges and was scolded by the judge after talking out of turn in court.
Love's attorney, Michael Rosenstein, won a delay of the preliminary hearing after arguing that witnesses needed to be brought in from out of state and that he had not received drug samples for testing.
But the brief proceeding was marked by interjections from Love, who claimed to have prescriptions for the drugs and at another point seemed to fire and immediately rehire her lawyer.
"I have the pill bottles on me," she said.
At another point she said to her attorney, "You're fired."
at attorney,
"Miss Love, you're not doing
yourself any favors," Superior
Court Judge Elden Fox said.
"Rehired," Love said.
Love, former lead singer of the group Hole, is charged with illegal possession of the painkiller hydrocodone and oxycodone.
She was arrested in October after allegedly trying to break into the Los Angeles home of a former boyfriend.
Police found the drugs later when paramedics were called to her house after Love suffered a drug overdose.
The judge rescheduled the preliminary hearing for April 15.
Documentary examines female roles in cinema
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Nancy Savoca's movies pick up where Martin Scorsese's and Francis Ford Coppola's films leave off, according to film historian Emanuel Levy.
They portray immigrant life on a grand scale, while Savoca — whose 1989 debut *True Love* about a skittish young Italian-American couple getting married made a splash at the Sundance Film Festival — offers "a view from the kitchen." Levy says in the Independent Film Channel's *In the Company of Women*.
Savoca is one of several directors profiled in the cable network's new 90-minute documentary airing 7 p.m. tomorrow.
It's part history lesson, part movie montage and part dialogue about women's roles in front of and behind the camera, told from the perspective of women in the business including Jodie Foster and Susan Sarandon.
"It's a very rare holiday still for men to be given the opportunity to go into a woman's psyche and see the world and the existential experience of life through her eyes," actress Tilda Swinton said during the documentary.
Directors Gini Reticker and Lesli Klainberg focused specifically on independent films, but didn't make a documentary thatashed Hollywood — even though few female directors get to make mainstream, big-budget films.
"We focused on independent
"It is a very rare holiday still for men to be given the opportunity to go into a woman's psyche and see the world and the existential experience of life through her
films essentially by default. In doing our research, it's where most women's careers were fostered and developed. Also, it's where women were greeted on an open playing field," Klainberg said.
eyes.
Tilda Swinton
Actress
Klainberg and Reticker's film took a comprehensive and interesting look at women in the film business, though sometimes the documentary seemed to be taking on too much and the directors would have been better served by a narrower focus.
If they came to any conclusions, Reticker said, "It's that we want more. More, more, more from women."
Klainberg and Reticker begin with the 1970s, when the women's movement coincided with a film boom, and more women attended film school.
Those graduates burst onto the scene in the 1980s with characterdriven stories and an alternative viewpoint.
"With the advent of Jaws and Star Wars, Hollywood was moving toward these big blockbuster
films, and there was suddenly this space in the independent film world to create these stories," Reticker said.
They point to Susan Seidelman's Desperately Seeking Susan.
The 1985 film starred Madonna in all her 1980s blacklace glory, and showed that a story centered on two female protagonists could appeal to the masses.
It's one of the most successful independent films to date, grossing $27.4 million.
Sexuality is easily the most discussed topic in the documentary. The film Go Fish featuring lesbian couples in everyday life complete with graphic sex scenes is juxtaposed with Gyllenhaal's performance as the submissive half of an S&M relationship in Secretary.
Several "indie queens" are featured, including Lili Taylor, Parker Posey and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Using sexuality as a tool is tricky and confusing for women, and the documentary captures that.
Rosie Perez offers an anecdote about how refreshing it was to work with a female director because there was no sexual tension.
The idea of beauty, intrinsically tied to sexuality, is also discussed, peppersed with scenes from Nicole Holofcener's 2001 film Lovely and Amazing, and Savoca's 1991 film Dogfight.
Directors and actresses speak candidly about body image, nude scenes, age and the tendency to glorify sex scenes.
'Apprentice' rules in primetime TV
NEW YORK—If Regis Philbin once "saved" ABC, Donald Trump has certain bragging rights at NBC.
The Associated Press
In two months, The Apprentice has made a huge difference on Thursday nights for NBC, an evening the network was worried about because of the impending conclusion of Friends.
Last week was typical: The Apprentice was No. 6 in weekly primetime ratings, with 19.2 million viewers, despite competing against television's most popular program, "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."
By running The Apprentice for
a full hour and moving Will & Grace to 8:30, it enables NBC to avoid its off-repeated problem of putting two struggling comedies on the Thursday schedule.
Partly as a result, NBC has been able to win or stay competitive among viewers aged 18 to 49. For the full week, American Idol pushed Fox to first over NBC in that demographic.
NBC will still have to deal with a Thursday night without Friends next season, but Trump has made that prospect less scary. NBC has already locked up Trump to appear in two more seasons.
In what passes for an average week in TV viewing, the networks stacked up in their common
pecking order: CBS in first, averaging 12 million viewers (7.8 rating, 13 share).
NBC was next with 10.2 million (6.9, 11), Fox had 9.5 million (5.9, 10), ABC7.7 million (5.1, 8), UPN 3.3 million (2.3, 4), the WB 3.2 million (2.2, 3) and Pax TV 1 million (0.7, 1).
NBC's Nightly News won the evening news ratings race, averaging 10.4 million viewers (7.1 rating, 14 share).
ABC's World News Tonight had 10 million (6.9, 14) and the CBS Evening News had 7.5 million (5.3, 10).
A ratings point represents 1,084,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated
108. 4 million TV homes.The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
For the week of March 8-14, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," CBS, 27.4 million; American Idol (Tuesday), Fox, 24.6 million; Survivor: All-Stars, CBS, 22.6 million; American Idol (Wednesday), Fox, 22 million; Without a Trace, CBS, 19.7 million; The Apprentice, NBC, 19.2 million; Everybody Loves Raymond, CBS, 16.7 million; Friends, NBC, 16.6 million; Cold Case, CBS, 15.9 million; Will & Grace, NBC, 15.6 million.

Intramural teams duel in playoffs

Each week during the intramural season, the Kansas will profile an intramural game of the week. This is the second week of the feature.
From the pregame huddle and the shout of "defense," Keep Shooting had a game plan to eliminate the Pharmacy Girls.
It worked.
Keep Shooting took control of the ball early on in the intramural playoff game, ending the season for the Pharmacy Girls with a final score of 45-21.
"It was a hard-fought game," said Keep Shooting's Lauren Jenkins, St. Louis freshman. "It wasn't easy."
The Pharmacy Girls took advantage of turnovers, but when players made it to the other end of the court, shooting troubles
"They put that much time into it, they deserve to win."

plagued them.
"They were the best we were up against this semester," Jenkins said.
The Pharmacy Girls had stamina and played aggressively until the final buzzer, even though the score was 25-7 at the half and Keep Shooting increased the spread by six points in the second half.
Keep Shooting's Liz Rinehart said the Pharmacy Girls had looked aggressive when she watched its previous game. Rinehart, Wellington junior, said she and her teammates usually watched their next matchup to work out game strategies.
"They put that much time into it; they deserve to win." said the Pharmacy Girls' Sara Raugust, Hillsbourough second-year pharmacy student.
Raugust said her team had not practiced between games during the season.
"They are super serious, and I'm just here to burn calories and have fun," said Pharmacy Girls member Andi Olson, Fredonia second-year pharmacy student.
Keep Shooting's coach, Tony "T-Diddy" Daniels, said his strategy was simple: He coached his team from the sideline to keep the floor balanced, to go for the layup when the lane was open and to pass to shoot.
The Pharmacy Girls are here to play good competitive basketball, said team member Jessica Koerner, Garden City second-earn pharmacy student.
"we lost to a very good team," she said.
Koerner also said the refereeing was unfair, but even if it had been fair, she said Keep Shooting still would have won.
"We were hammered from underneath," Koerner said. "They dominated because they're bigger."
Daniels said the referees went easy on his team. He said the referees let more fouls go than they should have.
In the last minutes of the game, Daniels said he focused on letting the clock run out because the game was getting physical.
"We've got another game to play on Wednesday; we don't want anybody to get hurt," Daniels said.
Across the gym, Daniels watched the Lady Jayhawkers narrowly defeat Hawks Heat. Keep Shooting will square off against the Lady Jayhawkers, the intramural championship, tonight at Allen Fieldhouse.
Former Missouri player Clemons sticks to claims that he was paid
— Edited by Meghan Brune
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Former Missouri guard Ricky Clemons renewed in a television interview his claim of receiving money while playing basketball for the Tigers.
"I never got more than $500 at a time. I never kept up with it. I just received the money." Clemons told interviewer James Brown on HBO's Real Sports, which aired last night on the cable network.
the Tigers' program last year after a single season.
"Did you ask for money or was it just being given to you?" Brown asked.
"It was just being given to me. Sometimes in cash, but if it was something major that had to be paid for — go get a money order. You can't trace that," said Clemons, who was kicked out of
Missouri's coaches and players have denied giving Clemons money.

The NCAA is investigating the Missouri basketball program, and the university is
Clemons
conducting its own investigation in cooperation with the NCAA
Citing the ongoing investigations, Chad Moller, the school's sports information director, refused to comment yesterday about the HBO report.
The professor leading the school investigation, Michael Devaney, also declined comment yesterday about Clemons' late $ ^{e+}$
"I never got more than $500 at a time. I never kept up with it. I just received the money,"
Rickey Clemons
Former Missouri guard
allegations.
Missouri played last night at Michigan in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament.
The Tigers were not selected for the NCAA tournament after posting a disappointing 16-13 record and losing by 25 to archrival Kansas in the Big 12 Tournament.
Clemens previously alleged receiving money by check.
His former girlfriend, Jessica
Bunge, has also asserted that Clemons received money during stops at the Hearnes Center, Missouri's home arena.
In a tape of the interview provided to The Associated Press by HBO, Brown asked Clemons: "Were you paid by coaches at the University of Missouri?"
Clemons replied: "Yes."
The athlete, who has moved to North Carolina, said he didn't know the total amount he received.
Brown asked whether Clemons knew it was wrong to accept cash as a college athlete.
"It never crossed my mind.
It happens everywhere. You don't talk about it.
And you feel like you're never going to get caught," Clemons said.
Clemens was booted from the team last year after a judge
ordered him to jail for violating conditions that allowed him to serve a sentence in a halfway house for a domestic incident involving Bunge.
"I paid the ultimate price, I lost my scholarship," Clemens said. "Going through that, now I know you don't take money from a coach ..."
Clemons also renewed claims that a Missouri assistant coach, Tony Harvey, provided money to his former teammates Arthur Johnson and Ricky Paulding, who as seniors are completing their careers at Missouri.
Harvey has denied the allegation and Johnson and Paulding have denied receiving money.
"They had a bill, like a rent payment, that had to get paid," Clemons said. "Coach Harvey paid it. They are his guys."
He added that the allegations
and investigations were "bigger than Ricky Clemons now."
Bunge also claimed Clemons received improper academic assistance to enroll at and play for Missouri, charges the basketball program has denied.
Those claims are a partial focus of Devaney's internal investigation.
Devanay told the AP that the school should "have a better idea later this month about where all of this is heading."
The electrical engineering professor initially had hoped to complete the investigation by last December, as Missouri was starting its basketball season.
"It it seems like every time I've estimated when this is going to come to closure, I've been wrong." Devaney said. "I hope to have a feel for where the NCAA is later this month."

Arson suspect surrenders
More than 1,500 miles from home, David Ryan Jay turned himself in to California police in relation to arson cases in Douglas and Johnson counties, a representative of the Olathe Police Department announced in a news conference yesterday.

reference year. Jay, a 23-year-old former KU student, was arrested Tuesday in Fontana, Calif., after giving himself up to authorities. He was charged in Johnson County District Court with one count of aggravated arson and 2-one count of arson. More charges are expected to be filed for the other fires.
The task force suspects Jay is responsible for at least 12 of the 15 fires that have taken place since March 7, said a representative of the Olathe Police Department. He said the investigation is ongoing, but authori-

Jay
The first incident occurred on March 7, when the clubhouse at Millcreek Woods apartment complex in Olathe was set on fire. The count of aggravated arson came from this incident because a maintenance worker was inside the clubhouse. The most recent fire was set on March 11 in Olathe at a senior center that was under construction. It caused $8 million in damage.
bogging, but authori ties have no reason to believe anyone else is involved.
The West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., is holding Jay until he is returned to Kansas. Jay waived extradition, which means he should be back in Kansas at the end of the week or the beginning of next week, a representative said. Bond was set at $1 million.
Jay was a KU student from summer 1998 until spring 2001, but didn't graduate, according to University Relations. The Beloit High School graduate was a physics major. Beloit, a town of approximately 4,000, is in north central Kansas.
Federal charges may be brought
against Jay for the fire at Watson Library on March 8. The fire was set on the second floor stacks and damaged four books. The task force linked the fires by the materials that were used to set them. A task force representative said a product for lighting fireplaces was used to set the fires. Paul Morrison, Johnson County District Attorney, said it was too early to say how many charges would be brought against Jay and if those charges would be at the state or federal level.
Early in the investigation Jay was on the list of suspects, but was not a top priority, a representative said. He was a suspect because of his mobility, his proximity to Millcreek Woods, where he was a resident and because he had been reported missing. The task force would have gotten to Jay eventually, but he advanced the case by turning himself in, Morrison said.
Jim Jay, David's father, said he and his wife reported David missing Sunday. After not hearing from him for several days, they went to Olathe from Beloit and noticed his car was gone.
Jim said he and his wife were in total shock. He said his son was a good kid with no bad intentions, acknowledging that most parents would say the same thing about their own kids. He said he had never known David to be in trouble, with the exception of a few speeding tickets.
Jim said he didn't suspect anything different was going on with his son.
Jim said that his son had been laid off from his job in the last couple of months and speculated it might be the cause of his stress. He said they had been supportive of David, and told him he was welcome to come home to Beloit and look for a job. David had always been responsible and was too proud to accept their help, he said.
"I feel bad we didn't recognize anything, but people are good at hiding that," he said of his son's problems. "The stress just flipped him to a different person."
Morrison said he didn't know why Jay had set the fires and that he couldn't comment on what Jay said when he turned himself in.

Excessive drinking plagues spring break

After an encounter with a bottle of vodka and some liquid Palmolive, Sean O'Grady understands that spring break isn't always about good, clean fun;
it was spring break 2002, and the West Warwick, R.I., senior was visiting a friend in Tampa, Fla. On his last night there, the two guys and other friends decided to finish off their leftover alcohol with some triple shots.
Ninety minutes and three-quarters of a bottle of vodka later, O'Grady was telling his friends that he wouldn't be sick for his flight home the next morning because he was

Professor asks Aristide to visit, speak at University
By Jodie Kraft
jkraft@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Bryant Freeman, director of the Institute of Haitian Studies, has invited former Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide to speak at the University of Kansas.
Through his work in Haiti, Freeman met Aristide and his wife several times, and Freeman was one of only two foreigners to attend Aristide's birthday party in 2002.
Freeman said he extended the invitation to Aristide and his wife through an interview on National Radio of Jamaica and through Aristide's lawyer in Miami. Aristide arrived in Jamaica Monday after spending two weeks in exile in the Central African Republic.
Freeman said the U.S. State Department told him that it was unlikely the United States would grant Aristide a visa to enter the country. If Aristide is denied entrance, his wife, who is a U.S. citizen, could come and speak on his behalf, Freeman said.
Freeman said he didn't know whether Aristide would accept his offer or when.
"Aristide wants to make his case known to the American media," he said.

"Commerce was the only bank there. That's a pretty good deal they have going." Rohner said.
The University gives Commerce a captive student population while Commerce provides a competitive contract and services the University wants.
"They want access to 25,000 students — potential customers," said Lindy Eakin, vice provost.
At New Student Orientation every year, close to 20 percent of incoming students sign up for Commerce accounts. Eakin said.

Meeting addresses effects of gay marriage on economy
TOPEKA —Amending the Kansas Constitution to ban gay marriage could be bad for business, opponents of the proposal told a Senate panel yesterday.
But several members of the Federal and State Affairs Committee said they were skeptical of that argument after hearing testimony on the measure, which was adopted by the House earlier this month. Approval by two-thirds of the Senate would place the proposal on the Nov. 2 ballot.
The amendment states that Kansas recognizes marriage only between one man and one woman and does not extend the rights and benefits of marriage to any other relationship.
Opponents have argued previously that the amendment was discriminatory and unnecessary, given that Kansas already has a law defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
Abby Tillery/Kansan
A new argument was offered during yesterday's committee hearing that changing the Kansas Constitution would hurt economic development.
"It sends a message to companies that companies with gay and lesbian employees are not welcome in the state of Kansas," said Bruce Ney, a Lawrence attorney.
Teresa MacDonald, director of education. test rode a hovercraft in front of the Natural History museum yesterday while Bruce Sherting exhibits director, controlled the hovercraft. Next week the Natural History Museum will have different activities exploring the powers of superheros.
And Sandra Stenzel, of WaKeeney economic development director for Trego County, said, "Don't make my job any harder" by adopting the proposed amendment.
"What drew me to western Kansas was the freedom to be who I am," she said.
However, several committee members said later the amendment was just as likely to attract as to repel new businesses.

"There are plenty of businesses that don't want to deal with homosexual-lifestyle problems," said Sen. Kay O'Connor, R-Olathe, who supports the proposed amendment.
Committee Chairman John Vratil, R Leawood, said predictions about the amendment's effects were "all speculative, based on whether you support or oppose the amendment."
About 150 people attended the hearing on the proposed amendment, spilling into the hallway outside the Statehouse's largest meeting room, the Old Supreme Court chamber.
Opposing witnesses were twice as numerous and sometimes drew applause. When a House committee considered the amendment, proponents far outnumbered opponents.

An activist coalition called Simply Equal began trying to get support in petitioning the Lawrence City Commission to have sexual orientation added to the Human Relations Ordinance in Lawrence's city code. The city code did not prohibit someone from firing or denying housing on the basis of sexual orientation.

A judge responded to a letter written by Harlan Parkinson to the Kansan
that student speed violators were being fined more than Lawrence violators. "There has been no deviation from our present system of fining since it was implemented," Judge Maxwell said. Parkinson presented the fact that a few days before "five students were fined while only one local driver was fined." 80 years ago
The Kansan reported that the total deaths from fire in the state increased by 50 in a year, while the property damage decreased by a half-million. The

The Kansan reported that the next year a system of hour credits in the college would supercede the method of term credits in place. The work of one course of ninety hours of class work would be extended over two terms instead of one.

Proposed recycling fee increase will be on spring election ballot
By Andy Marso
amarso@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Student Senate approved an initiative to send a $1 fee increase for campus recycling to a student referendum last night.
The increase will be voted on by the student body in Senate's general election April 14 and 15. If approved, it would increase the Campus Environmental Improvement Fee from $2 per semester to $3.
The added funds would go to hire more Facilities Operations employees to accommodate expansions in the University's recycling.
Facilities Operations officials recently ordered ten 50-gallon recycling bins to put at five campus locations: Wescoe Hall, the Kansas Union, Summerfield Hall, Burge Union and Learned Hall. They also ordered two 18-foot mobile storage trailers complete with a baler to compress the recyclables.
Doug Riat, Facilities Operations director, said the fee increase would help his department by providing another employee to manage the new equipment.
Nick Sterner, Senate community affairs director, co-wrote the initiative with Jason Boots, engineering senator. Sterner said the increase, if approved, would add at least one full-time recycling position to the current one full-time and 10 part-time positions. Boots said the new equipment wouldn't be as useful unless Facilities Operations had more personnel to manage the collections and emptying of the trailers.
Campaign violation being investigated
Sterner said a number of other recycling projects also were in the works, including 20 more bins and a proposed 5,000 square foot recycling center to be built on West Campus.
The Elections Commission is investigating a complaint of KUUnited representatives soliciting in Templin Hall.
The complaint was filed Tuesday by Kristan Seibel, Association of University Residence Halls senator.
Seibel filed the complaint after reading a report in Templin's desk shift log about KUnited candidates entering Templin accompanied by a Templin resident last Friday. The report stated that the candidates
went upstairs with KUnited buttons and posters without checking in at the front desk. Jana Szatkowski, Student Senate communications director, was one of the KUIned members at Templin that day. She said they had been invited into Templin by residents and didn't solicit door-to-door. Dane Hague, Elections Commissioner, said the commission was investigating the complaint and would hold a hearing about it shortly after spring break.

resolution to oppose a ban on gay marriage at the state or federal level. The resolution stated that a ban on gay marriage would conflict with the University's Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, which forbids discrimination against homosexuals. Some senators said the resolution should have been grounded in the U.S. Constitution instead of the code, while others argued that it didn't accurately reflect the opinions of University students.

Pulitzer-winner talks politics at Lied Center
The Lied Center
The University of Kansas
By Marc Ingber
mingber@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Although people wanted to hear David Broder's political predictions last night, the only one he was willing to make was regarding the Kansas men's basketball team.
The next couple months will allow the public to form its opinion, Broder said.
"I am confident you will prevail. That is my first and last prediction," he told the audience at the Lied Center, referring to the team's game tonight against the University of Illinois-Chicago.
Broder, political correspondent for The Washington Post, came as part of the Anderson Chandler Lecture Series sponsored by the School of Business.
Annie Bernethy/Kansan
David Broder, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, spoke on the political and economic challenges of 2004 last night at the Lied Center.
During the 2000 election, Broder said he thought of George W. Bush as a slightly right-of-center politician.
Broder, who won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary in 1973, spoke about topics ranging from media bias to strengths and weaknesses of presidential candidate John Kerry and President Bush.
He said Bush was seen as a decisive leader who staked out his positions and stuck to them.
"My sense of him was a throwback," he said, comparing Bush to past Republican spideries such as the Gerald Ford administration.
Although it has shown some signs of improving, the economy is one area where Bush seems to be vulnerable, Broder said.
Bush's opponent, U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) had an aloof personality, Broder said. That makes him not well liked personally by members of either party, but Broder said he was well-respected.
Bush's huge tax cuts and huge increases in defense spending as well as his calls for change in public education quickly proved Broder wrong.
Another topic Broder discussed was Ralph Nader's decision to enter the presidential race. He said Nader's contention that there was no difference between a Democrats and Republicans was nonsense.
When asked if the media was biased, he said it wasn't a sure thing either way.
Surveys in recent decades show that newsrooms vote more Democratic than the country as a whole, he said. But on the flipside, Broder said surveys showed that people who run the editorial page vote more conservatively.
The political journalists
Broder knew throughout his career weren't very opinionated either way, he said.
"My strong impression is there is so little political ideology in that group, it barely fills a thimble." he said.
Instead, he said that it was more common for journalists to be found at a bar at the end of the day, gossiping about politicians' speaking abilities.
"I thought it was cool to picture Broder in a bar talking about everyday things and gossip," Frank Tankard, Overland Park freshman, said.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Education, not abstinence, gives best protection
Sure, it sounded like a good idea. Fight premarital sex and the sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies it causes by having teens sign a public pledge promising to abstain from sex before marriage.
Abstinence education, which President Bush's administration thinks is the only acceptable sex education, encourages teens to take these vows each year.
However, like any theory, the idea of abstinence pledges must be tested to determine its effectiveness. In a study released last week as part of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, the theory was tested, and the results weren't good.
OUR VIEW
Abstinence pledges are not protecting teenagers from pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. We need to give them more education.
The researchers followed a national group of teens who took the pledge in the six years after their pledge. They found that nearly nine of every 10 teens who pledged were no longer virgins.
Examining the data more closely reveals an even more troubling trend. The STD rates among the teens who pledged to remain abstinent were statistically similar
to the rates for non-pledgers. Researchers attributed this finding to the fact that teens who took the pledge were less likely to use condoms that non-pledgers. Only 40 percent of pledging teens used a condom the first time they had sex, and 59 percent of non-pledgers used protection.
These findings seem to prove the ineffectiveness of abstinence education, confirming what parents of teenagers have known for years: When promises and hormones collide, hormones are almost always going to come out on top.
This study shows that abstinence education simply doesn't work well. Yet President Bush remains steadfast in his stubborn stance of abstinence as the only sex
education. His 2005 budget plans to double funding to programs which try to stop teens from having sex, raising the funding for such programs to $270 million.
This $270 million will be wasted on programs such as these vows, that only delay the onset of premarital sex, doing nothing to address the real problems of STDs and teenage pregnancy. This money should be spent on more logical and effective programs to combat these problems, educating teens on the dangers unprotected sex poses or providing them with condoms.
We need to protect the next generation with education and spermicides, not signatures and empty promises.
I swore that I wouldn't have sex,
but then I did! Ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh crap.
I hate myself.

The memories of those contests of extemporaneous wit have long outlasted the shaken pride that was often the casualty of such juvenile warfare. After getting served by some kid, we would usually slap each other five, gear up and bounce rambunctiously into gym class for the day's basketball, four-square or flag football.
One would wonder were we not the same boys who had conjured 7,000 fresh synonyms for each other's mamas just minutes before? Yet we laughed and played together. In many ways we came of age together, and that ritual of was a unique part of that growth.
Those moments were never really about mamas or about four-square. In all reality, they were not even about me. Though we could not have called it such, there was a strong concept of "us" shared among the kids from my neighborhood. If you crossed one of us, we all had to
rumble. If something was bad for one of our own, it was bad for all.
We could fight, disagree, and argue amongst ourselves — which we often did, but when it came down to it, no one in our unit would be allowed to suffer if anyone else could help it. We, on some semi-conscious level, knew that we were all connected.
As I have grown older, friendships have tightened. Disposable income has made it possible to hang out more, travel and to send gifts, but strangely those connections have faded. Bad news that was once met with inquiry — "Aww, man, you lost your Nintendo cartridge? ...what do I need to do?" is now met with empty consolation — "You lost your job? Oh, I'm sorry to hear that."
In my struggle to make the final academic push before spring break, I've been reminded, in both overt and subtle ways, that being a responsible student means being a responsible person first,
and being responsible is all about paying attention to the folks around me — being connected.
As we think nationally and globally the same concept applies. What's bad for my man across town is one day going to be bad for me, too. When a woman is left to face inhumane treatment abroad, I'm left to deal with the inhumanity of my knowing silence to her plight.
If we continue to fail to pay attention to each other, we've got much more to lose than our locker room pride and our mama's good name. I, certainly, am learning that lesson more each day, and I am increasingly thankful for the colorful personalities who so dutifully teach and exemplify it.

ut summer tan on hold; use spring break to volunteer
It's time to bust out the bikinis and hit play on Sisqo's Thong Song. Spring break is around the corner promising sun, fun and no tests for at least a week.

Different breaks can range from a weekend to a few weeks. Holcombe said students usually traveled to locations across the nation to serve at a wide variety of non-profit agencies. Activities range from helping out in community events, building houses and helping with the elderly.

Different organizations all across KU campus offer different types of alternative breaks. KU Alternative Breaks are offered throughout the school year. Activities vary depending on the city and state. All students are encouraged to participate in these activities.
Students usually don't consider alternative breaks for their time off but the experience can be rewarding and beneficial in future life choices.
I for one had never thought of an alternative break until really it became my only option.
In all reality, having money to burn and pina coladas to drink were not an
option in my freshman year. So instead of going home for a week of Ricki Lake and soap operas, I found myself on my way to Mexico.
Traveling with 20 strangers and an overzealous leader, I clenched my teeth and boarded the plane. I knew at least the weather would be warm and I would maybe have time to get a tan.
Upon our arrival, sewage-filled streets and the screams of hungry babies were my only welcoming committee. The tiny community was desolate and dirty, and I thought for sure I couldn't survive there for a week. I knew then that my spring break was going to be of a different nature.
My group spent the majority of the week cleaning streets, helping make repairs on houses and handing out
The thought of building houses and helping kids never was appealing until the experience came to an end. The reward wasn't a tan or Daytona Beach T-shirt, but the feeling of accomplishment and a bit of self discovery.
clothes to different families. The days were long and tedious, but the hard work felt good on my body and soul. Just seeing the tears and smiling faces was a way bigger reward than any received in a spring break contest.
So next year, before visions of naked girls and oiled-up boys come to mind, think of a vacation where new friends are met, personal boundaries are challenged and lives are changed.

She passes her work week wondering how many people know what is behind the burning bush stained glass window of Smith Hall, across from the Kansas Union.
Aagie Ashe knows most people have no idea about the Moore Reading Room nor the unusual path that brought her to the quiet study area behind the glass of Moses' burning bush.
Ashe, senior administrative assistant, manages and coordinates the Moore Reading Room. Since she took the job last April, she has been in charge of ordering books for faculty, hiring student workers and making sure all the resources are in order. She is a scientist turned librarian, taking her masters in biology to the field of religious studies.

Learning and readjusting is nothing new for Ashe. She had to learn how to live on her own in a new country after moving from the Netherlands 30 years ago. Ashe had to adjust to a new culture and the nuances of an unfamiliar language. When she
wanted to buy a dresser cabinet, she found out she shouldn't use the word "commode" as she had done in the Netherlands.
"People wondered what I was going to do with a toilet," she said.
In her 30 years in the United States, Ashe has had several jobs working with science and biology.
When she looked into jobs at the University of Kansas last year, she initially planned to apply for a job involving specimen collection. She noticed the librarian opening and thought it sounded interesting.
Ashe's background in the sciences is not contradictory to the religious studies field. She said religion was an academic endeavor that also involved some type of research. Studying theology doesn't conflict with the scientific approach because theology is not like practicing a religion, she said.
Rice said Ashe came into the job with no assumptions. Ashe is constantly trying to learn
more about religion from people in the department. She said she was now more aware of the variety of religions in the world. She has learned about rituals that exist in other countries, such as the temple caretaking ceremony of the Japanese on Mount Hiei.
Ashe said she was happy she chose to pursue a new field. She said she loved being with students in the reading room and talking to religious studies faculty.
Ashe loves coming to work on sunny days when the light from the window tints the room different colors. She said only students who have taken religion classes or people who come in to take a picture of the window really know about the reading room.
"I try to advertise it as much as I can," she said. "But it's a dilemma because part of the charm is the intimate feel."

Binge drinking troublesome for most women
By Matt Rodriguez
mdrroguez@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The scene plays itself out every weekend.
A woman hangs out with the guys at a bar or a party. And in order to impress the men, she goes drink-for-drink with them and ends up regretting the whole night.
Natalya Stoylar, Overland Park senior and bartender at The Roxy in Overland Park, has seen the scenario a number of times.
"For some people, going to a bar is all about a game of setting impressions," Stoylar said. "You don't have to drink to impress them, (men) you have to understand your body works differently."
The number of women who are drinking to the point of intoxication has risen in the past 20 years, according to research done by Sharon Wilsnack, professor of
"This is just good sense and good health. If you know how to handle your alcohol, you'll have more fun"
Sharon Wilsnack
Professor of neuroscience, University of North
Dakota
neuroscience at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Science and several other doctors. With more women drinking today, they need to be aware of how alcohol affects their bodies, Wilsnack said.
It's a biological fact that women are unable to keep up with men when it comes to drinking. Women and men's bodies react to alcohol in different ways
to alcohol in different ways
it all comes down to science.
When a woman drinks the
same amount of alcohol as a man does and she also weighs as much as the man, she is going to have a higher blood alcohol level, said Morris Faiman, professor of pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Kansas.
Stomachs are like holding tanks for alcohol. The stomach and the liver have enzymes called Dehydrogenase. These enzymes help the stomach break down alcohol before it gets into the liver, Faiman said. The enzymes in women's stomachs are not as active as men's. Therefore, alcohol gets into women's bloodstreams faster than men's.
The second reason women become more intoxicated than men do is a women's body is made up of more fatty tissue as opposed to a man's, which has more muscle tissue. Muscle tissue contains more water and is able to dilute the alcohol. So women's bodies reach a higher blood alcohol level because they have less body
water.
Food also influences how alcohol affects the body.
Both Faiman and Wilsnack agree that during spring break students may not stick to their regular eating habits.
People should keep in mind that having food in their stomach is important when drinking because it can slow down the way the body metabolizes alcohol. And for women, a full stomach can help them absorb more alcohol and keep the alcohol in their stomach, allowing those enzymes to break down more alcohol Wilsnack said.
Wilsnack said according to her research, younger women prefer beer and wine, but with influences like HBO's Sex and the City, women are starting to move more toward mixed drinks such as the highly-popularized cosmopolitan. The main ingredients are vodka, juice, such as lime or cranberry, and triple sec.
Alcohol is alcohol no matter whether it's a wine or a shot of liquor, Wilsnack said. But what matters is the speed at which you drink the alcohol. People tend to drink liquor faster than a glass of wine, Wilsnack said. This can lead to trouble. Shots and mixed drinks have a higher concentration of alcohol and increase your blood alcohol level faster.
Wilsnack said people could be given all kinds of guidelines of noticing when they're drunk, but the best thing to do is slow down or stop drinking when you start to realize how drunk you are. The results of overdrinking, especially when a person is taking a lot of shots, can lead wind a person up in the emergency room or even dead.
"This is just good sense and good health," Wilsnack said. "If you know how to handle your alcohol, you'll have more fun."

OVER: Binge drinking can lead to injuries, violence, arrests
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
American college ritual defined by extreme behavior like binge drinking.
For three days following his own spring break binge-drinking episode, O'Grady said he felt groggy, his throat burned and the thought of doing dishes made him queasy.
"It was like a three-day hangover—something I don't recommend doing." O'Grady said. "Stay away from cleaning utensils and degreasers when you're drunk off vodka."
The binge-drinking breakdown
Binge drinking is defined as drinking four or five drinks in one sitting, said Richard Yoast, director of the American Medical Association's Office of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse. But this is a small amount of alcohol compared with what people are probably consuming during spring break. Yoast said.
"Many go just to be drunk the whole time." Yoast said.
According to the study done at Panama City Beach, Fla., the average man consumed 18 drinks per day, and the average woman reported drinking 10 drinks per day while on spring
break.
Of the 442 women and 341 men surveyed for the study, one in five men reported that he was always drunk, and 75 percent of the men reported that they were intoxicated at least once per day.
Forty percent of women reported being drunk once a day, and 3.4 percent reported that they were always inebriated. More than half of the men and more than 40 percent of the women drank until they became sick or they passed out at least once.
"Some students just see it as a release from the grind," Yoast said. "The risk is that it may give them a break from one thing, but create a new problem for them while they're there."
Binge drinking over spring break can have a variety of disastrous effects including injuries, overdoses, sexually transmitted diseases from unprotected sex, violence, arrests and drunk driving. Yoast said.
Would you like some spring break with that alcohol?
Alcohol plays a large role in many college students' spring break plans, said Jacquelyn McKinney, Springfield, Mo., junior. She said she and her friends chose to spend next week in South Padre mostly because it was within driving distance, but that she couldn't imagine a spring break without alcohol.
"People have been working their butts off all semester," McKinney said. "So they just want to hang loose, lay in the sun and just enjoy themselves."
Some student travel packages not only cater to the students who plan their vacations around alcohol, but also promote this mindset.
The Web site StudentSpringBreak.com advertises the slogan "Plan easy, party hard," and offers vacation packages for popular spring break destinations such as Cancun and Acapulco in Mexico, and South Padre Island in Texas. The site describes how "your yearly intake of alcoholic consumption could happen in one small week in Cancun."
Sean Keener, president of BootsnAll Travel Network, the parent company of StudentSpringBreak.com, said Cancun was its most popular package, and a lot of the reason students chose it was because they wanted to party. But the company takes a sort of tongue-incheek approach to its marketing, Keener said.
"I don't wish for anyone to get hurt or abuse themselves," Keener said. "It's about finding a balance."
Aubrey Volz, Topeka junior, said she went to Acapulco last spring break through a travel package with Student Travel Services. She said her package did not advertise excessive alcohol consumption, and she chose it for its convenience.
For a one-time fee of $150, Volz said she and her friends bought "party passes" that granted them access to clubs as well as unlimited alcohol.
"You're in Acapulco, so why would you not party all the time?" Volz said. "But I had to pace myself, otherwise I'd pass out by like 10."
The abundance and availability of alcohol in popular spring break locations promote heavy drinking, said O'Grady.
"If you go to Mexico, you're going to drink a lot of tequila. If you go to the Caribbean you're going to drink a lot of rum. If you go to Padre, they allow kegs on
the beach," he said. "It's pushed a lot more there."
Volz said that her trip did not revolve around alcohol, and she didn't think the constant access to alcohol necessarily promoted binge drinking.
"If you're going to drink like a fish in Acapulco, most likely you drink like a fish in Lawrence too." Volz said.
Jannette Berkley-Patton, Wellness Coordinator at Watkins Memorial Health Center said there was a misconception that the majority of college students travel to exotic locations and drink heavily over spring break.
She said for those who do choose to drink over break, it's important for students to watch out for each other and be aware of how to get help in a foreign country if something goes wrong.
O'Grady has his on thoughts about what will make this year's spring break trip to South Padre more enjoyable than his previous experience, and it's not abstaining from alcohol.
"There will be no soap in Padre," he said. "If it doesn't come out of a tap, I don't want anything to do with it."

COMMERCE: Bank was only one that offered all the services the University wanted
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The money increases by about 1 percent, according to how much money is deposited at the Union branch.
That extra money differs from month to month, Goddard said. Some months the University generates the base $2,000, sometimes more, depending on the collective amount of money in the bank, she said.
The contract also promised the University $100,000 up front, money administrators reinvested in the University's general fund, Eakin said.
The exclusive partnership began when the University solicited a bank that would manage three services: a banking relationship, KU identification
cards and the smart chip system that was in place until last year, Eakin said.
In the summer of 1999, the University released an offer for bids. Administrators wanted all three aspects of the relationship to be included in one bid, rather than have three separate banks handle the different duties, Eakin said.
"We decided it would be useful if the ID cards were tied to a bank account. If a bank couldn't do that, we weren't interested," Eakin said.
thursday, march 18, 2004
Although many banks, like US Bank, bid on the separate parts of the contract, only Commerce had the capabilities to integrate the three aspects into one proposal, Eakin said.
with US Bank for faculty banking, Eakin said. US wanted to take over the smart chip operations, but did not want to establish an on-campus bank for students.
The next year, Commerce established KUIDs that worked as a checking card,and opened a branch in the Union.
The University holds a contract
Before the contract, the Kansas Union cashed students' checks for a fee. Eakin said the process was a hassle for both the students and the Union.
Now, students can cash checks and deposit money at Commerce if they have a checking or savings account at the bank, Eakin said.
And the more they deposit, the more money the University makes from the more than 4,300 student accounts open at the
Union branch, said Dianne Goddard, vice provost in the Comptroller's office.
Goddard said that number almost 18 percent of the student body, could be much higher.
"It's not as high as we'd like, but we haven't gone out and actively sold it that much," she said.
The single tool the University uses to recruit students for Commerce is the table set up at New Student Orientation, Goddard said.
The lack of advertising stems in part from the money the University misses out on, Goddard said.
Many universities charge students ATM fees, and use Mastercard or Visa on student ID cards, which generate their own revenue through contracts. KU does neither, Goddard said.
The agreement works well for students like Theresa Bird, Albuquerque, N.M., freshman. She had a Commerce account before coming here.
I don't want to charge students
to use the ATM if I don't have to pay at my bank." Eakin said.
"It was a lot easier keeping the same bank," she said. Bird said she would probably stay in the area and keep her account in the future.
But students who plan to move from the area after college can say goodbye to Commerce, which is only located in the Midwest.
"If I move to either coast, I'll have to change. That's kind of a pain," Rohner said.
Commerce declined to comment on its relationship with the University for this story.

LAS VEGAS — The man wanted in a string of sniper shootings that terrorized Ohio drivers was captured at a motel yesterday after someone spotted him at a Las Vegas casino reading a newspaper story about himself.
Salesman helps nab highway sniper
An unshaven and disheveled Charles A. McCoy Jr., 28, was arrested without incident less than 36 hours after Ohio authorities released his name as a suspect in the attacks.
The arrest brought relief to Ohio residents who have been living in fear since the 24 shootings began in the Columbus area last "In my heart and mind, I knew this was the man police in Ohio were looking for." Conrad Malsom Las Vegas resident
year. The gunfire pierced homes and a school, dented school buses, flattened tires and shattered wind-shields, killing one person.
Authorities have not offered a motive for the shootings and have not said how McCoy became a suspect. The Columbus Dispatch, citing unidentified sources, said a relative of McCoy's contacted police to say he could be a suspect and McCoy's father gave authorities a 9 mm pistol that was matched to some of the bullet fragments recovered in the shootings.
"Once he started hitting random other places, we felt like there was nowhere safe to go," said Aimee Wagner, 31, a chemistry professor who often travels Interstate 270 to teaching jobs in the Columbus area. "I'm just happy he didn't get the chance to take another person's life."
McCoy was taken to the Las Vegas FBI office, where detectives from Ohio were expected to arrive yesterday to question him.
Authorities said McCoy had been in Las Vegas for about a day, gambling at the Stardust hotel-casino and staying at the nearby Budget Suites motel, just across from a strip club.
Police credited an unemployed car and time-share salesman with helping them capture McCoy. Conrad Malsom, 60, of Las Vegas, said he recognized McCoy from news reports linking him to the Ohio attacks, and did his own detective work to locate McCoy's car parked at the motel.
"In my heart and mind, I knew this was the man the police in Ohio were looking for," Malson told The Associated Press.
Malsom said he met McCoy on Tuesday at the Sturdist sports book on the Las Vegas Strip. He said he offered McCoy a slice of pepperoni pizza and recognized him from a newspaper photograph. McCoy was reading a copy of USA Today, which featured the fugitive's picture, Malsom said.

Litter remains a problem for Oread Neighborhood
By Laura Pate
late@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Candy Davis does not intend to talk trash on KU students, she said. But some of them keep trashing her neighborhood.
Every time Davis takes a walk in the Oread Neighborhood, she comes equipped with a large trash bag. She stoops down to pick up fast food trash, cigarette cartons, newspapers, soda cans, beer cans and beer bottles.
The Oread Neighborhood, also known as the "student ghetto," curves around campus in a u-shape and includes Louisiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee streets.
The neighborhood has the worst litter problem in Lawrence, said Davis, president of the Oread Neighborhood Association. On March 3, Davis and the other members of the Oread Neighborhood Association met to voice their concerns on the trash problem with city environmental officials.
Julie Wyatt, city environmental inspector, explained city codes that control litter, and encouraged residents to call in complaints to the city about litter. Besides calling in complaints, she had no solutions in mind for the litter problem, she said.
City garbage trucks started picking up litter in the Oread Neighborhood after the meeting on March 3. The garbage trucks
had not done this in the past, said Charles Goff III, coordinator of the Oread Neighborhood Association.
Beer bottles, newspapers, cups, aluminum cans and other trash litter the area at 11th and Mississippi streets. Landlords and homeowners in the Oread neighborhood don't like the amount of trash left on the ground by students.
Every block in the Oread Neighborhood has a dumpster, but trash piles up in the streets and yards. People throw trash out of their cars as they drive through the neighborhood, too. But the neighborhood residents bear the responsibility of cleaning up their yard. If they do not clean up after the city has sent them a notice, they may have to pay a fine, go to the Municipal Court or spend time in jail.
Amanda Kim Stairrott/Kansan
"I don't get this attitude that I'll just drop it." Davis said.
Students do not show the same amount of respect for the neighborhood that older residents do, said James Dunn, president of Landlords of Lawrence and district five director for the Oread Neighborhood Association. He rents houses out in the Oread Neighborhood and often has to tell his tenants to clean up.
Under a city environmental code, anyone who allows litter to accumulate in his or her yard could receive a written notice from the city. If the person does not clean the yard within 15 days of when the notice was postmarked, he or she could be prosecuted.
LITTER LAWS
"I keep after them for broken glass, so people don't see a railing full of beer bottles and broken glass," Dunn said.
Students treat the neighborhood like a styrofoam cup, he said. They do not live there very long, so they have little respect for the property and think they can just throw it away like a cup, he said.
"A lot of people don't consider something to be protected and cherished," Dunn said.
If a person receives a notice twice within a 24-month period, the Neighborhood Resources department or the City Prosecutor's office may issue a notice for the person to appear in municipal court.
If the person is found guilty of a misdemeanor in municipal court, he or she will have to pay a fine between $50 and $100 and could go to jail for as many as 30 days.
Clay Westerlund, Lawrence sophomore, has lived at an apartment complex at 17th and Ohio streets for three years. He said he did not see what the big issue was with the neighborhood association.
Every once in a while, he will notice cups in the yards, but people usually clean up at least three days after a party, he said. Cleaning within a few days is reasonable, because people are still recovering the first day after a party, he said.
party we're not going to be like Martha Stewart and pick up trash as soon as it hits the ground," he said.
"That's the problem — after a
The neighborhood is fine because students living in the neighborhood do not have a problem, he said. The students self-police one another so that they do not end up with an out-of-control litter problem, he said.
Bars in the neighborhood fend off complains, too.
The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., said The Hawk and The Wheel, 14th and Ohio streets, unfairly bear the blame for the trash problem. Student housing creates more problems, he said. His part of the neighborhood is not as bad as the 11th and 12th blocks of Tennessee or Ohio streets because more students live around there, he said.
John Heleniak, co-owner of
Heleniak tries to combat litter in the neighborhood. At 2 a.m., when The Hawk closes, Heleniak
Lawrence and the Oread Neighborhood Association have not yet implemented any concrete solutions to end the litter problem. But Davis said she welcomes any student environmental groups to conduct a study on how to end the neighborhood litter problem.

Ludwick said Emery was preparing to leave for boot camp to join the U.S. Army and serve his country.
He attended Butler County Community College and Cowley County Community College, trying to get some school experience before he left.
Emery's father worked at the high school Devin would eventually attend.
He was always around the Wichita Heights High School before he was old enough to go, meeting people and making friends.During high school,
Emery was a soccer player, hunter,
wrestler, musician and sports fan.
In fact, he who would dress outrageously in mismatched clothes and wigs to support his school, said Mark Christian, Emery's old principal.
Christian said Emery was a super fan.
He became the kind of guy who had a big impact on his community, his friend and classmate Selena Ramirez, Wichita senior, said.
Emery was the kind of guy that will be missed by friends who discuss the kind of man he would have become.
"In our high school, we were all so close," Ramirez said. "It's affecting everyone, even if someone didn't know him very well."
Funeral services for Emery will be held tomorrow afternoon in Wichita.

Staff to work during spring break
By Anna Clovis aclovis@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas students are not the only people on campus counting down the days to spring break.
University administrators are getting a break of their own, but instead of wild beach parties and drinking until dawn, they get a week of work without students.
Administrators do not get a vacation. Some are taking personal time away from their offices, but most, like Chancellor Robert Hemenway, will report to work on Monday.
Lynn Bretz, director for university relations, said spring break for Hemenway wasn't Staff that much of a break.
Bretz said Hemenway's schedule included a full day of work at the University on Monday and then he would travel to the University of Kentucky on Tuesday to deliver a speech on Wednes-
The rest of Hemenway's break depends largely on the KU men's basketball team's success in the NCAA Tournament. If the队 wins its games this weekend in Kansas City, Mo., Hemenway will travel to St. Louis for the next rounds, both as KU's chancellor and as the president of the NCAA Division I Board of Directors.
Danny Kaiser, director of the center for campus life, will be working during the break as well, with the exception of a conference during the last weekend of the break.
Kaiser said most people in his office would be working, though a few might take a day or two off.
"It's a nice time to get a lot of work done while the students aren't here, so we can be ready when they come back," Kaiser said.
Other administrators are taking personal time to enjoy a vacation.
Provost David Shulenburger typically works during the break, said Sandy Patchen, his executive assistant, but this year his plans are different.
"It's the first time in as long as I've worked for him that he's taken a vacation over the break." Patchen said.
Shulenburger is taking personal time to enjoy a vacation away from the office with his wife.
A peaceful week may be what Shulenburger has in mind, but Richard Johnson, dean of students, is looking for an exciting break with friends.
Johnson said he would take personal time in order to travel to Phoenix, Ariz., visit friends and watch the Kansas City Royals play a spring training game in Surprise, Ariz.

From Phoenix, Johnson said he would make a quick trip to Las Vegas before coming home to Lawrence.

sports commentary
The attire was shorts and T-shirts and contact was minimal as Kansas football players had their first open spring practice yesterday.
The players, after a winter in the weight room, will have to wait until tomorrow to break out the pads and begin tackling. For now, the team will focus on fundamentals, said Kansas football coach Mark Mangino.
Sunday.
"The kids were really more enthusiastic," Mangino said. "I think now they know what to expect. A lot of the new kids didn't know what to expect."
Four of the 2004 recruits are participating in spring practice and all of them are in major roles. Both Theo Baines, junior, and Rodney Harris, sophomore, are working out with the first team. Though Harris is listed in the media guide as a safety, he occupied the cornerback spot opposite Baines yesterday. Junior defensive end Jermail Ashley is practicing with the second team. Ashley and Baines were teammates at Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Texas.
Those fundamentals were honed with drills including hitting bags and footwork. About 50 fans watched as the team played in public for the first time since December's Mazda Tangerine Bowl. The team had its first private practice Sunday and is allowed 12 more practices before the annual Spring Scrimmage on April 18.
Mangino said the effort was better in yesterday's practice than it was Sunday.
Mangino said Harris and Jason Swanson, junior quarterback, both had growing pains, but for different reasons. Harris is switching to a new position on defense and Swanson must learn a whole new offense. Mangino said he expects Swanson to compete with Adam Barmann, sophomore, for the starting quarterback position.
Learning a new playbook is a difficult task, but Swanson has already proven to be a quick learner at another craft.

Self's previous success helpful
We all know how the Kansas men's basketball team faired in the NCAA Tournament under former coach Roy Williams.
But the big question on everyone's mind is how will the Jayhawks perform under Bill Self?
If history is an indicator, Kansas will have nothing to worry about going into tomorrow's first round game against the University of Illinois-Chicago.
Bill Self has been to the NCAA Tournament five times, and has won his first round game each year.
But his success doesn't stop there.
but his success goes on. In fact, Self has never underachieved in his short NCAA Tournament career. All of his setbacks have come against college basketball's elite teams.
At Tulsa he bowed out of the tournament with losses to Duke and North Carolina. At Illinois he lost to Notre Dame, Kansas and Arizona.
Self can also beat the nation's elite. In 2000, Self had one of the most remarkable runs in recent tournament history. He led a seventh seeded Tulsa team to victories against Cincinnati and Miami on his way to the Elite Eight.
In 2001, he returned to the Elite Eight, this time with Illinois. Self's Illini, led by a deep group that included NBA players Frank Williams and Brian Cook, knocked

Atlanta Region
1 Duke (27-5) vs. #16 Alabama State (16-14)
As many times as Duke has been a No. 1 seed over the past two decades, the one thing the Blue Devils always do is thrash their No. 16 seed opponents. This year should be no different, but Duke should still use good strategy. The Blue Devils are young and deep, so it may be wise to let senior point guard Chris Duhon sit this one out. Duhon had a nasty run-in with a television camera during the ACC Championship game last Sunday, and has some sore ribs right now. He should rest while he can since his leadership will be needed in the tournament's toughest region, which includes six Final Four coaches. Prediction — Duke 88. Alabama State 51
No. 8 Seton Hall (20-9) vs. #9 Arizona (20-9)
An interesting matchup between Seton Hall, a team that will try to lull its opponents into a defensive struggle and Arizona, a team that is as athletic as they come. Seton Hall revolves around senior point guard Andre Barrett, who must be focused for the Pirates to have a chance.
Arizona has the talent to be the nation's best team, but everyone has to be on the same page, a problem for the Wildcats this season. Six of the Wildcats average at least nine points per game. Swingmen Hassan Adams and Andre Iguodala are strong scorers and rebounders, while Channing Frye anchors the middle. However, the key for Arizona's success lies in the back-court combo of freshman point guard Mustafa Shakur and the volatile, yet
Now that the NCAA Tournament brackets have been set for next weekend, it's time to bust out the pencils and erasers to predict this year's National Champ. In the spirit of the season, the Kansan's Ryan Greene will take an in-depth look every day this week at a different region of the bracket.
Kansan Bracket
State (28-9)
Murray State has always been an upset-threat in the NCAA Tournament, but with its second-leading scorer suspended for marijuana possession, its upset hopes are now slim. The Racers are known as a team that can run the floor, but Illinois can strike right back. Point guard Dee Brown's passion helped the Illini out big-time last March, and now he has the hot-handed Luther Head and Deron Williams flanking him. Illinois is dangerous, and a definite sleeper as a No. 5 seed. They become even more lethal if big men James Augustine and Nick Smith can use their size to bully opponents.

No. 4 Cincinnati (24-6) vs. #13 East Tennessee State (27-5)
You've got to love Cincinnati's brand of basketball. Coach Bob Huggins' group is always gritty and
season.
The Tar Heels are dangerous, with all five starters averaging double figures in points, and solid contributors off the bench. Sophomore point guard Raymond Felton is the nation's best pure point, Rashad McCants is the ACC's top slasher and one of the nation's most consistent scorers at 19.9 points per game and Sean May is a beast in the paint. May averages a double-double.
Air Force won't impress, but it runs the Princeton-style, slowed-down offense, which will cramp Roy's style. If Williams can get out of the first round, which has been a struggle the past few years against lesser opponents, the Tar Heels will make a run, guaranteed. Prediction North Carolina 74, Air Force 67
deep, with this year being no exception. The driving force for the Bearcats is forward Jason Maxiell. The junior leads the team in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots.
He also has very capable veteran scorers around him, including Florida transfer James White, Kansas State transfer Nick Williams and Tony Bobbitt. East Tennessee is not very big, but it is quick. Cincinnati has slipped and fallen early in tournaments passed, but this will be a rout. Prediction — Cincinnati 71, ETSU 57
No. 6 North Carolina (18-10) vs.
Air Force (22-6)
Every analyst in the world is whining about how North Carolina lacks depth, and it will hurt the Tar Heels in the tournament. However, wasn't it Kansas who lacked depth last year, yet still made a miraculous run? Never doubt coach Roy Williams when it comes to managing talent in the post-season.

Missouri's high hopes end with NIT loss to Michigan
Missouri's one-point loss to Michigan in the first round of the NIT was a final slap in a season filled with profound disappointment for the Tigers.
The Tigers were ranked fifth in the preseason, and the program had a distinct air of expectation. Stars Arthur Johnson and Rickey Paulding were back for their senior seasons along with fellow senior Travon Bryant, and help was on the way from high-scoring transfer guard Jason Conley.
Missouri rose to No. 3 in early December before the free fall.
Booking it on the Boulevard
The school plunged to 9-10 at one point, including a dispiriting loss at home to unknown Belmont. Missouri flashed its talent with six straight wins, then collapsed again by losing three of the last four. Kansas beat the Tigers three times — the last one a buzzer-beater in the finale at the 32-year-old Hearnes Center — and then ended Missouri's late-season bid for NCAA consideration in the Big 12 tournament.
The school finished 16-14, missing
"Things haven't gone the way they're supposed to go," Snyder said recently. "There hasn't been any storybook.
"There hasn't been a chapter that's ended storybook for us, let alone ending."
The final chapter will come not from the NCAA tournament but from an NCAA investigation that has been ongoing since September. The school played the entire season under the threat of sanctions over the Clemons episode.
Certainly, both of its stars played much of the season as if distracted.
Johnson, the preseason Big 12 Conference player of the year, finally lived up to the billing the final third of the season. He had a career-best 37 points against Kansas in the Hearnes finale, then continued to be the go-to guy in the Big 12 tournament and the NIT with 26 points against Michigan.
He finished as the school's career leading rebouder and shot blocker. But during that stumbling start that Missouri never quite recovered from, he was far from the dominant player the team expected.
Paulding leaned too heavily on his inconsistent jump shot, only rarely mixing 3-pointers with darting moves to the basket. His defense also was not as solid as the previous season, and he wound up a spotty final season with only 10
points against Michigan.
Bryant, a former McDonald's All-American in high school, was the most consistent of the three. But the 6-foot-9, 240-pound senior never realized that potential at Missouri with a softer, complementary game despite his size.
The offense often consisted of perimeter passes often followed by a shot under pressure, and the defense was curiously lacking in intensity.
Snyder may have allowed Conley, who led the nation with a 29-point average as a freshman at VMI, on fester on the bench too long while honing the guard's defense in practice. And he entrusted the point guard position for a time to poor-shooting Randy Pulley, resulting in a 4-on-5 situation on offense.
Among the positives for next season: the two-way play of freshman guard Thomas Gardner, the team's best 3-point threat; sophomore guard Jimmy McKinney's looser, confident play; and the promise of a full year from the explosive Conley, Linas Kleiza, a freshman sensation inside banger who missed the second half of the season after undergoing surgery for a separated shoulder, will be back at full strength.
"It is a tough way to end," he said after the Michigan game. "I am going to tell the guys that as bad as they feel about not realizing some of their goals, they are still terrific men.
But it will probably take a while for Snyder to get over the way it all unraveled.
"They are really disappointed now, as we all are, as we should be."

Child pornography charges against R. Kelly dropped
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — R. Kelly escaped child pornography charges in Florida when prosecutors announced yesterday that they were dropping all 12 counts against the top-selling R&B singer.
The decision followed a judge's ruling last week that detectives illegally seized photographs allegedly showing the singer having sex with an underage girl, meaning they could not be used against him.
Prosecutors decided not to appeal the ruling by Circuit Judge Dennis Maloney, choosing instead to abandon the charges.
The 37-year-old Kelly still faces 14 child pornography charges in Chicago and has pleaded not
"My faith in the system of justice has never wavered, and with this victory behind me, I look forward to clearing my name in Illinois," Kelly said in a statement. "As I've said before, I am confident that when all the facts come out, people will see that I'm no criminal."
guilty. Those charges were not affected by the ending of the case in Polk County, which is just east of Tampa.
After a hearing last Thursday, Maloney agreed with the singer's attorneys that Polk County sheriff's detectives did not have enough evidence to legally justify a search of Kelly's Davenport home when the deputies asked a judge for a warrant in June 2002.
Deputies had earlier found marijuana in a home Kelly rented for three business associates. They then sought a warrant to search the house where Kelly was staying nearby to look for drugs.
During an initial search for drugs, detective Robert Mateo said he observed video cameras and an "unusual" amount of adult pornography in a cabinet in a room marked "Private." The detective then sought a second search warrant to look for child pornography.
The photographs were on a digital camera that was wrapped in a towel inside a duffel bag.
Kelly's attorneys said the affidavit Mateo submitted in seeking the warrant wasn't adequate because it was based on unspecified information from Chicago authorities and no link was established between the discovery of marijuana and the presence of cameras and child pornography.
HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 18)
Today's Birthday (March 18).
You're initially stopped when something you think you know doesn't work. Confusion diminishes as you study and as your self-confidence increases. You'll end up stronger yet still sensitive — an excellent combination.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 6.
There's another good deal coming up,but this one requires some thought. Insider information is helpful, too. Ask around. Find somebody who knows.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 5.
Don't punch out a person you find irritating. Just wait — he or she will get their just rewards, and you won't look like the bad guy. Besides, you might lose the fight.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 6.
An older person will think better of you,but not because of what you say. Just produce results and you'll win.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is an 8.
Your negotiations could turn out well, but don't think you have to tell everybody about the deal you've made. Keep it to yourself.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 6. Sometimes the money you make doesn't come directly into your pocket. Money from appreciation counts too, as do savings on the stuff you buy. Figure out all the angles and keep more of what you have.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a7.
It's still possible to make your dreams come true, but reality keeps interfering. Don't give up.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 6.
Watch out for breakage, or perhaps a thwarting of your intention. Later in the day is better for romance and everything else.
It's probably a good idea for you to stay close to home tonight and perhaps even tomorrow night. Schedule your big date for Sunday.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7.
Continue to review your options. You'll find that one eventually stands out as superior to the others. It may take a while, but it will happen.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18) Today is a 6.
You could get a chance to make a lot of loot over the next few days. This isn't easy, but if you serve well, you'll be generously rewarded.
TODAY'S PUZZLE
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7.
The harder you push yourself to finish what's on your list, the more enthusiastic you'll feel when it's done, even though you may be exhausted. It's a good kind of pooped.

ATLANTA: Atlanta bracket deep in talent
CONTINUED FROM 1B
3 Texas (23-7) vs. #14 Princeton (20-7)
The Longhorns are deep and talented. The problem is the players who Texas needs most are cold right now. Ten Longhorns average at least four points per game, but Brian Boddicker and P.J. Tucker must step up offensively if Texas wants to live up to its postseason expectations. Princeton is a team that plays at a pace that will frustrate Texas. The glue that holds the Tigers together will be center Judson Wallace, who will need to play the game of his life against the Longhorn's plethora of big men to give his team a
enance. Prediction — Texas 62,
Princeton 55
7 Xavier (23-10) vs. #10
Louisville (20-9)
Louisville was ranked in the top 5 at one point this season, but tanked in the season's stretch run. For all the talent Louisville brings with legendary coach Rick Pitino, Xavier is hot right. A name that could become well-known by the end of this tournament is Romain Sato. Sato, at just six-foot-five, leads the team in rebounding and scoring. The Musketeers will go as far as Sato can carry them. Prediction — Xavier 76, Louisville 60
2 Mississippi State (25-3) vs.
15 Monmouth (21-11)
Monmouth should just go ahead and book its plane tickets back right now. Mississippi State is a threat in the tournament's most talent-rich region. Baylor transfer Lawrence Roberts was the SEC Player of the Year, but has an outstanding supporting cast. The most important member of the group will be senior point guard Timmy Bowers. Bowers is the team's second-leading scorer behind Roberts, and is playing his best basketball. The tournament will be the perfect stage for him to improve his NBA stock. Prediction — Mississippi State 101, Monmouth 62

ROBINETT: Fans can be optimistic with Self
CONTINUED FROM 1B
off Kansas.
on Kansas.
The Jayhawks had some future NBA players too — Nick Collison, Kirk Hinrich and Drew Gooden — but Self's experienced team bested a young Kansas squad.
Self's recent history has been less successful, but explainable. His team lost in the Sweet 16 two years ago to a deep Kansas team that featured starters Hirich, Collison and Gooden plus current juniors Wayne Simien and Keith Langford off the bench.
Last year, without Williams who left early for the NBA, Self guided an inexperienced club to a close loss against Arizona.
The main reason for Self's relative tournament success has been his ability to adjust his coaching style during games and around his players.
When he was at Tulsa he had decent talent and ran the ball up and down the floor to maximize his teams' athleticism and shooting ability.
At Illinois, he inherited a more talented group of bruisers inside and played slow, physical basketball that wore down the opponent before delivering the knockout blow.
Self did well at those two jobs, but this Kansas team is the most talented team he has coached and can adjust to numerous styles of play.
So, Kansas fans can afford to be cautiously optimistic. With the first round of games at Kemper Arena in nearby Kansas City, Mo., and Self's legacy of not under achieving come tournament time, look for Kansas to perform well in March.
Robinett is an Austin, Texas junior in journalism.
Swanson attended high school at San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts. He learned to play five instruments at his high school, but was not able to play football, instead opting to play for nearby Lincoln High School. He played violin, piano, saxophone, flute and clarinet, and said the violin was his best instrument.
CONTINUED FROM 1B
Swanson said he was even talented enough to earn a scholarship offer to Michigan State.
FOOTBALL: Jayhawks firm up roster, try to improve
"It's not what I wanted to do," Swanson said. "I'm an athlete who just happened to be good at playing the violin."
Swanson said jokingly that being able to read notes on the fly aided his ability to improvise on the playing field. Mangino has compared his improvisation with former Jayhawk quarterback Bill Whittimore.
Quarterback is one of the wild card positions on a team that is returning most of its players from last season. The running back, wide receiver and linebacker positions will return all of the 2003 playmakers. The linebacking corps in particular returns three of Kansas's four leading tacklers and the team's leading sacker — Brandon Perkins, junior.
As loaded as the linebackers appear to be, Mangino said they
could be better.
"There's not a position on the field that couldn't use improvement," Mangino said. "But it's really hard to evaluate too much when you're not tackling or not wearing shoulder pads."
Kansas Football Notes:
Three's company: Kansas has just three defensive tackles taking part in spring drills right now. Travis Watkins, senior, and Chris Brant, sophomore, are working out with the first team. Brant is a walk-on from Edmond, Okla. Tim Allen, senior, is the third tackle. The group will welcome freshman James McClinton in the fall. McClinton was rated the No. 3 defensive tackle in Texas.
Two-way no more: Mangino said John Randle, sophomore, will not play defensive back. Randle is now a permanent running back. Meanwhile, Charles Gordon worked out with the defense on Sunday and the offense yesterday.
Depending on how the cornerback situation sizes up, Gordon could find himself on either end, but he won't start both ways. Mangino said Gordon could wind up specializing by playing 10 plays per game on the opposite side of the ball.
Pass rush: Senior defensive
ends John McCoy and David McMillan dominated in the pass rush drills and were two of the more impressive players yesterday.
McMillan started at end last season, while McCoy was a situational pass rusher after changing from linebacker. McCoy was a junior college All-American at linebacker, and showed flashes at defensive end last season while recording 11 tackles.
The two players garnering the most attention at this point are tackle Adrian Jones and quarterback Bill Whittemore, with Jones predicted by some as a first-day selection.
Senior Day: Kansas hosted its Senior Day yesterday, when seniors who are no longer eligible to play for the University worked out for NFL scouts and coaches in preparation for the NFL Draft. Mangino said representatives came from 14 teams to watch the drills.
Randle punishment: Mangino briefly addressed John Randle's legal situation. He said that the problem would be handled inhouse and that there would be consequences, but that Randle was owed due process. He said that punishment would not involve Randle's removal from the team.

Baaa Baaa Black Sheep
Martin is a successful architect with a seemingly fabulous marriage. During a television interview he spills the beans; he's been having an affair. With a goat. Yeah, like, with four legs and horns and everything. This somewhat ludicrous premise is the backdrop for Edward Albee's Tony Award-winning play, The Goat or Who Is Sylvia?, a pitch-black comedy/drama from the mind that brought you Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Currently playing at The Unicorn Theatre, 2838 Main St., in Kansas City, Mo., the play rises to greater heights than you might expect. It's funny, surprising, thought provoking and stunning.

mp3 MATCHUP
TIRED OF BEING THE ONLY ONE IN THE GYM WITHOUT AN MP3 PLAYER BUT DON'T KNOW WHICH IS THE BEST FOR YOU?
By Ashley Marriott, Jayplay writer
Who knew it was possible to carry around 10,000 songs in your pocket? Apple's iPod is half an inch thick and weighs 5.6 ounces making it one of the smallest MP3 players on the market. It lasts for up to eight hours without

charging the battery. You can choose from hundreds of thousands of songs from Apple's iTunes Music Store. It also features a built-in alarm clock, music quiz, audio books and games including Solitaire.
The catch: iPod is one of the most expensive MP3 players, costing $500 on apple.com and $350 on eBay's half.com. "The iPod is terrific, but carries with it the Apple Tax, which is that extra amount of money you have to pay for the Apple Coolness Factor," says Dave Salvator, reporter for extremetech.com.
Creative's NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra is providing some major competition for the iPod. This player holds 16,000 songs, as well as photos and computer documents. Other features include an alarm clock and customized screensavers.
The Zen Xtra even categorizes your music by artist, album, genre or track for you. It lasts up to 14 hours

without changing the batteries. The Zen Xtra is $400 on us.creative.com and $383 on eBay.
The catch: Salvator says Creative installed FireWire support in the Zen Xtra, meaning you need to purchase a USB 2.0 card for your computer in order to get the most out of the player.

This sleek MP3 player is at the top of the iRiver product line. "iRiver is meant for a quality lifestyle, not for those that know a whole lot about technology," says Anders Steele, promotional representative for iRiver.

It is available for $200 on iriveramerica.com and for $170 on half.com.
The catch: The iFP-390T is not meant to move around with.
Steele suggests that iRiver's iFP-390T more active individuals purchase the iFP-

Don't degrade journaling as artsy-fartsy, this is one hobby that can do you good.
By Liz Gibson, Jayplay writer
Lara Puno has homework to do but her Web log is only a click away. She indulges the temptation to vent about the day's events. Puno, an English major, did not realize her habit of journaling to avoid studying could have positive repercussions.
The Leawood junior has kept a journal since high school, but recently got "sucked in" to an Internet diary. It's easier for her to keep in touch with friends and it helps iron out the ideas in her head. "Sometimes I stutter when I talk and this helps me get my story straight," she says.
Whether it's a sketchbook, scribbles on a page or words on a computer screen, journaling has emotional, mental and physical benefits.
In the mid-1980s, James Pennebaker, a professor of psychology at University of Texas, completed research in expressive writing. Participants wrote about their emotional disturbances for at least 15 minutes a day for three to four days. The results showed writing can produce dramatic improvements in physical and mental health This practice can enhance immune system function improve grades and perform better on job interviews.
Writing about meaningful events can also heal one's spirit, says Michele Weldon, author of Writing to Save Your Life: How to Honor Your Story Through
Journaling. Weldon, a journalism lecturer at Northwestern University, coined scribotherapy as a term for therapeutic writing. To Weldon, this means the process of writing for self-discovery. To achieve this goal, she encourages people to find a purpose for writing or "The Big Idea;" a one-sentence declarative statement of what you want to uncover about your life.
The motivation behind journaling varies among individuals. For Lora Jost, journaling was a natural progression. Because she is an artist, the linguistic element aided her visual process. "It's a place to get the first idea down," she says. "And then you can go back and develop it later."
Jost teaches a sketchbook journaling class at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. She tells students to think about their journal as a journey. She asks, "Where do you want to start? What do you want your journal to be? Spiritual, healing, adventurous?" Jost encourages her pupils to focus on the
Weldon conducts writing workshops all over the country. One of the biggest complaints she hears about journaling is the time commitment. She says to write during lunch and before going to bed. "It's like brushing your teeth," she says. "It's something you've got to do."

process rather than the product. She says it's a canvas for practicing to draw, brainstorm and write.A former student inspired her by saying,"Journaling is like having your own room.It's your own place to do what you want."
One might get lost looking at Nick Alley's sketchbook, but the drawings, scribbled notes and messy pages aren't for show. "It's just a forum for putting thoughts down," says the Union, Kent., graduate student. He jokes about his adolescent journal entries about crushes and bowling nights, but having a record of personal history makes him appreciate what he's been through. "But because you do it, that doesn't change who you are. It lets you know who you were," he says.
Puno will journal even after her days of avoiding homework are over. She enjoys reminiscing about the details. "I'm so used to having the option of looking back," she says.

The other white "meat" Tofu's not just for vegetarians anymore.
Let's face the facts. Most people don't like tofu. Even the thought of flavorless, white, spongy cubes can put a damper on most meat and potato lovers' appetites.

Carnivores are perfectly fine chomping on a juicy burger, thank you. Why would they want to eat blocks of bland, white mush? "It's kind of an urban legend that's heard from one person to another that tofu is gross," said John Momberg, refrigeration and grocery manager at The Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa St. "They already have a preconceived notion in their head before they even try it."
Tofu, also known as soybean curd, is a soft, cheese-like food that is made by curdling fresh, hot soymilk with a coagulant. The curds then are generally pressed into a solid block.
Tofu is misunderstood because of its infamous lack of flavor. The truth is that the soy product has a cooked egg white texture that absorbs any flavor it's introduced to. This means tofu is a food chameleon that adapts to any recipe or marinade. It can replace sour cream in dips,
cream in thick soups, meat in stir-fry and, when blended with cocoa and sweetener, it can even replace chocolate cream pie filling.
There are three main types of tofu that are available in most grocery stores. Firm tofu is dense and solid and holds up well in stir-fry dishes or on the grill. Soft tofu is a good choice for soups and recipes that call for blended tofu. Silken tofu is a creamy, custard-like product that works well in pureed or blended dishes.
Momberg recommends that amateurs begin by trying firm tofu because the texture is similar to meat. The Community Mercantile sells 10 varieties including Thai flavored, baked, garlic and herb, organic and hickory smoked. The familiar texture and pre-flavoring makes it easier for people to incorporate tofu into their meals or recipes that they are accustomed to making.
So you're thinking about giving tofu a shot but are intimidated by cooking it for the first time at home. Nancy O'Conner, nutrition educationist at The Community Mercantile recommends trying tofu dishes at Zen Zero, 811 Massachusetts St., and La Parrilla, 814 Massachusetts St.
All of the dishes at Zen Zero are served with tofu unless otherwise stated. One of Zen Zero's popular vegetarian and tofu-based dishes is Thai Basil and Tofu with onions, bell peppers, carrots, Thai chili, garlic and scallions.
Both restaurants use Central Soy Tofu, which is made in Lawrence by Central Soyfoods, 710 E. 22nd St.

Central Soyfoods pushes tofu to the center of regional dinner plates

At first glance, Central Soyfoods looks as bland as its most popular product — tofu.
Today, Central Soyfoods supplies more than 40 area grocery stores and dozens of restaurants with its tofu, producing 1,200 to 2,000 pounds each week. The plant also makes 60 gallons of soymilk and more than 200 pounds of tempeh, a high-protein fermented soybean product found in cake or patty form, which Yello Sub uses in its Tempeh Parmesan and Tempeh Reuban sandwiches.
The freshness of Central Soyfoods' tofu makes it superior to out-of-state companies. Unlike national brands that sit on the shelves for months, tofu made by Central Soyfoods is only a few days old, says Willie Mackie, plant manager. La Parilla, 814 Massachusetts St., orders Central Soyfoods tofu twice a week and uses it in its rice bowls. "Once in a while we have to use prepackaged tofu." Subarna Bhattachan, co-owner of La Parilla, says. "It works just the same but it lacks the fresh flavor."
Just like the squishy, slimy off-white blocks of bean curd it produces, Central Soyfoods, 710 E. 22nd St., is a beige box. It sits on a gravel road in an unremarkable part of East Lawrence, surrounded by strip malls, fast food joints and gas stages. But Central Soyfoods' products are creeping into the food palette of mainstream America.
The popularity of tofu has come along way since the '70s when Cooley was making 30 pound batches in a restaurant kitchen. Grandchildren of Central Soyfoods' first customers are now eating its products.
The origins of Central Soyfoods are humble. Founder and plant production manager Jim Cooley started making tofu in the early '70s as a protein source for him and fellow vegetarian farmers at a communal farm. Cooley's food staple evolved into a business and in 1978 he had two major customers: The Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa St., then in downtown Lawrence, and the Sister Kettle restaurant, which is now Mass Street Music, 1347 Massachusetts St.
Tofu is a healthful and diverse protein source that contains fiber, iron and calcium. It is lower in fat than meat and the Food and Drug Administration recommends 25 grams of soy protein a day as part of a "heart-healthy" diet. In a survey conducted by the American Soybean Association, Americans consumed 121 million pounds of soy products in 2002.
the solidified bean curds sink to the bottom of the bara button on the wooden board by the machinery and the half-barrel closes. The cooker revs to life with a sound like a dishwasher. The beans are boiled three times for sterilization.
Nigari, made of magnesium chloride, is added to the soymilk to solidify the curds. The soymilk creates a frothy, cappuccino-like top as Sexton stirs the soymilk with a giant spatula. From there it goes to the presser.
The slurry then moves into the extractor, where soymilk is filtered from the solids, which are known as okara. The main piece of the extractor is a cylinder that spins hypnotically, filtering out the flaky okara and slurping out the soymilk into 32-gallon barrels. The okara is bagged and sold to local ranchers to feed their livestock.

Like a witch from Shakespeare's Macbeth, Jeff Sexton, Lawrence resident, stirs nigari into the soymilk to solidify the bean cums from the whey.

The atmosphere in Central Soyfoods' production room feels like the first few moments after a storm ends. Splashing sounds come from the inch of water on the
Inside this steamy room, Cooley and Jeff Sexton, Central Soyfoods employee, work to transform the dry soybeans into tofu through an assembly line process. The beans are sucked out of a barrel, into a grinder and then a basin. There, hoses spray the ground beans with the same force as a fire hose, creating a thin mixture known as slurry. The tofu-to-be then meets the cooker, a large, stainless steel half-barrel that looks like something out of a 1950's science fiction movie. Sexton presses

Cooley compresses the curd chunks until a 2 1/2 inch tall, 60-pound tofu block is born. He slices the giant block into one pound cubes and dumps them into a tub of frigid water until they are cool enough to be vacuum-sealed and put into a large walk-in cooler.

"Our tentacles run deep in Lawrence," Mackie says. The owners of the factory have other business ventures.
David Millstein, Baldwin City resident and one the partner-owners of Central Soyfoods, says his strategy is to keep increasing demand for Central Soyfoods' products and capture the Kansas and Missouri markets. It has been expanding the market for its product in the Kansas City area by adding new restaurant clientele. To keep up-to-date, Central Soyfoods will unveil a new logo next month and it is experimenting with flavored tofu.
Central Soyfoods' employees work there because they believe in what a tofu factory in the heart of beef land represents. "I'm an environmentalist and I am a vegetarian," Tina Browne, Kansas City, Kan., senior
says. "If you're going to get a part-time job you might as well believe in it." Sexton feels the same way. He says this job brings him joy unlike his previous job working construction on military bases.
Employees of Central Soyfoods don't want to be on the front page of the Lawrence Journal-World like another business, Amazing Grains bakery. Mackie says this as he lays down the Feb. 21, 2004, issue of the Lawrence Journal-World. The headline reads "Popular Lawrence bakery makes its last loaf." It refers to the closing of the bakery that shared shelves with Central Soyfoods products.

RIPPING AT THE SEAMS
Dumbbell
By Melissa Frankel, Jayplay writer
After an intense practice, 10-year-old Matt Reaves can't imagine moving his legs, let alone lift them. He and his teammates are sprawled out on the ground, willing their tired muscles to budge. That's when Reaves notices his dad, who coaches his fourth grade football team in Derby. Bob Reaves is known as "the big guy." With one glance at his bulging muscles, you know why.
Coach Reaves calls the team over to him. He lies on the ground, lifts up one leg and tells the team to walk across his stomach, cleats and all. At that moment Matt Reaves decides that when he grows up he wants to be big and strong like his dad.
Reaves is now a sophomore at the University of Kansas. When you see his 6-foot-1-inch, 250-pound physique, it's clear he is striving to achieve his childhood goal. With his 18 and a half inch-wide arms he can bench 450 pounds. Reaves says he always knew he wanted to look like his dad, but when he picked up the magazine Muscle and Fitness five years ago, he became hooked on bodybuilding. He carried the magazine with him everywhere and decided to start lifting weights regularly.
Reaves says bodybuilders are trying to build the perfect person. That requires a huge commitment; self discipline, hours spent following a strict workout routine and, ideally, devotion to a healthy diet. Bodybuilders inspire awe and sometimes revulsion, but people might be surprised to know what bodybuilders think when they look in the mirror. Even well-formed muscles can seem small to a bodybuilder's critical eye.
Bodybuilding increases muscle volume. Lifting weights puts stress on muscles by forcing them to move more weight than they are used to. As muscles heal from the strain, their muscle fiber size increases. Bodybuilding also improves a person's metabolism and ability to maintain physical strength. Scott Richmond, a St. Louis, Mo., graduate student who conducts research in
Dumbbell
applied physiology, says bodybuilders strive for bigger, toned muscles and decreased body fat. They differ from powerlifters, who build strength to lift as much weight as possible.
People decide to become bodybuilders for different reasons. Richmond, who teaches Introduction to Exercise Science and Clinical Fitness Evaluation Techniques at the University, thinks some are obsessed with becoming bigger while others train so they can use their large muscles to intimidate people. And for some, bodybuilding just makes them happy.
When Reaves goes to the beach and takes his shirt off, he wants to be the biggest guy there. He says he wants people to look at him and say, "Daaang. Look at those biceps!"
Appearance is a common reason people in their early teens to mid-30s decide to body build, says Emily Richardson, a personal trainer at
Quivira Sportsclubs in Lenexa. Richardson is certified by the Professional Fitness Institute in Olathe and will receive her National Strength and Conditioning Association certification in May. She thinks people in their mid-30s and 40s are concerned with health while older people lift weights to aid in disease prevention and delay the aging process.
Keith Klein, Lenexa resident, has lifted weights for 20 years. He focused on powerlifting for six years, but when he turned 40 last year he decided to switch to bodybuilding. He will compete in the Kansas City Gold's Classic bodybuilding competition in late September. He says he's had more fun training for the competition over the past year than he had training for all 20 powerlifting competitions he has entered. Klein says he bodybuilds to prove to
himself that he can build muscle and stay fit at his age. To him it's a matter of personal pride.
Achieving a welldefined body requires a substantial time commitment. Bodybuilders spend anywhere from one to six hours a day at the gym. Reaves is now training for next fall's KU football team and his average day goes something like this: Wake up at 5 a.m., receive treatment for a recent back injury, run, go to class, workout for an hour, go home, try to recuperate and do homework.
Football and bodybuilding workouts differ in several ways. Chris Bohannon, an NSCA certified trainer, says that football players train for power, speed and agility while bodybuilders aim for size and definition. Bohannon, who owns Transition Mulitport, an Overland Park-based training company, thinks bodybuilding is more image oriented, so a bodybuilder's physical power may not be as great as a football player's. He says bodybuilders exhibit defined and chiseled muscle groups that are different than the groups football players focus on to gain brute strength and size.
schedule goes like this: Monday, work shoulders; Tuesday, chest; Wednesday, take the day off; Thursday, focus on the back; Friday, legs; Saturday, arms; and Sunday, rest. He doesn't get much of a cardiovascular workout.
When Reaves isn't training for football he follows his bodybuilding routine. His weekly
The lack of a cardiovascular workout is common among bodybuilders. Richmond says even competitive bodybuilders tend to avoid it and only do cardio one to two days per week while training. They then really increase their cardio during the pre-competition phase to five to seven days a week.
To maintain a healthy cardiovascular system, Richmond recommends bodybuilders do a 20-to 30-minute aerobic workout three to five days per week. Lifting weights can almost be an aerobic workout when bodybuilders do a lot of repetitions with little rest in between sets. It isn't a substitute for an aerobic exercise like running, however. After lifting, a person needs to give the muscles used at least 48 hours of rest before working them again. This is why many bodv-
builders, like Reaves, plan a workout routine that focuses on different muscle groups each day of the week.
In addition to following a strict workout routine, committed bodybuilders follow a healthy diet. Emily Richardson recommends a diet high in protein and low in fat and carbohydrates. This diet decreases overall body fat, which helps give bodybuilders their chiseled physiques.
Richmond says the average male has a body fat level of about 15 percent. Bodybuilders tend to have a lower level, but the essential level required for males is. Females have an average body fat under 12 percent is con- body fat levels of doesn't solve
If Reaves has a downfall as a bodybuilder, it's his eating habits. "I'm an unhealthy eater. I'd be bigger if I ate right," Reaves says. Reaves' large muscle mass helps make up for his poor eating habits. Muscle is the body's most metabolically active tissue, which means the more muscle Reaves has, the more fat he'll burn.
Reaves isn't the only bodybuilder who finds it hard to follow a strict diet. Klein says he needs to start paying closer attention to what he eats before his competition in September. For now he tries to eat four meals per day and avoids greasy food.
To help make up for their habits, a lot of bodybuilders take nutritional supplements. One of the most common supplements for bodybuilders is protein. Proteins help make muscle cells. Richmond says the theory behind taking protein supplements is that increasing the amount of protein in a body gives it more material to build muscle with. Although bodybuilders frequently use protein supplements, Richmond says they could get enough protein in their diet. They would only need to consume two grams of protein per kilogram of their bodyweights per day to help build muscle and only 1 gram per kilogram to maintain their muscle mass. Richmond says bodybuilders take supplements because it's easier to drink a shake than eat a couple of chicken breasts.
Creatine is another popular supplement among bodybuilders. The human body contains creatine in its skeletal muscles, heart and brain. It increases the body's ability to make ATP, an energy molecule located in muscle cells. Richmond says it doesn't increase muscle mass, but it gives a bodybuilder extra energy at the end of a workout. This allows bodybuilders to do extra repetitions so that their muscles are worked harder. No one has tested creatine to see if there are any long-term side effects associated with taking the supplement. It is available naturally in meat and fish.
Reaves takes creatine before and after each workout. He says it gives him more energy and makes his muscles look bigger. Reaves hasn't suffered from any side effects, but he's heard of people who have had problems with cramping.
The question of whether or not to take nutritional supplements is controversial. Richmond says part of the problem is that the Federal
He says he wants people to look at him and say, "Daaang!! Look at those biceps!"

Drug Administration doesn't regulate supplements. Most companies don't fund studies of their products because they don't want their claims to be proven false.
Richmond says bodybuilders often spend $50 a month on supplements but they result in less than a one percent increase in muscle mass. People want a magic pill and will take anything to get bigger, stronger and faster, he says. "If you have the money and are willing to spend it, plenty of people are willing to take it from you," he says.
Reaves is willing to spend the money on supplements because he wants people to notice the bulging muscles, veins and ripples that cover his body. He shaves his arms and chest to show off the definition more clearly. Bodybuilding makes Reaves feel more confident and he likes the results, but he receives mixed reactions from other people. "A lot of people think it looks freaky, but plenty of people like it," Reaves says.
When people hear that Klein spends 10 hours a day driving a truck but still works out in the gym for a least two hours every night, they think he's crazy. Klein was hooked on bodybuilding the first time he saw a well-cut muscle forming on his body.
Twenty years of hard work formed Klein's muscles, but he doesn't want people to think he's showing off when he goes out in public. "I don't use fitness as a means of trying to express who I am," Klein says. The reactions he receives when he enters a room, however, often spark comments from others. Klein says some people are jealous while others will stop him and ask for his name and how long he's trained. For Klein,
Dumbbell
the reactions aren't important. What he cares about is that he is 41 but feels like he's 25. For both Klein and Reaves, it is important how bodybuilding makes them feel about themselves.
Sometimes bodybuilders are too concerned with making themselves look and feel good. Bodybuilding can become addictive, says Brian Morris, a personal trainer at Quivira Sportsclubs. Morris, who has helped run health clubs for 11 years, says bodybuilders can see the results of their labors as new veins and ripples appear on their bodies. If they stop lifting the definition starts to fade. Most bodybuilders strive to build more muscle mass, but in their minds they can never reach a point where they are finally big enough.
Chris Bohannon agrees that most bodybuilders never think they look good enough. Bohannon believes they have an almost compulsive desire to push harder and make their muscles more defined. For many bodybuilders, complete satisfaction is unattainable. There are some extreme cases where an obsession with bodybuilding leads to illness.
A little-known disease, muscle dysmorphia, afflicts some bodybuilders. Richmond describes it as an illness that causes people

to think they are too skinny and never big enough. The problem with diagnosing this disease is that it is difficult to distinguish between someone who is enthusiastic about weightlifting and someone who is obsessed. A bodybuilder may recognize that he is strong, but still sees room for improvement. While someone
may point at the big guy standing in the corner and comment on how freakishly huge he is, that guy may wonder why he is so small.
Reaves says that after five years of bodybuilding, he's still not happy with the results. He doesn't think he ever will be but he's glad he feels this way. If he did feel satisfied he fears he would become complacent. For Reaves, big enough just doesn't exist. He plans to continue bodybuilding and hopes that someday he can be the big guy — just like his dad.

HOW TO DEAL WITH
THE PATHOLOGICAL
LIARS IN YOUR LIFE
writer Illustration: Joe Thurston
Illustration: Joe Thurston
Vince Kelly, Kansas City, Kan., junior, thought he'd finally met a girl who could keep up with him. "Jessica" always had an interesting or funny story to tell. There was never a dull moment between the two. More importantly, Vince felt like he could comfort "Jessica," who had recently lost her fiancé in a car accident.
One night, Vince asked "Jessica's" dad about the accident. Much to his surprise, her dad knew nothing about a fiancé or an accident. Vince didn't immediately realize it, but "Jessica" is what people commonly refer to as a pathological liar. She lies about everything from what she had for breakfast to something as serious as death.
Barbara Stanley, professor of psychiatry at Columbia University, says that many people are pathological liars because they have the need to feel accepted. Pathological liars usually are afraid of the possible negative response they could get from others. It's easier to lie because they won't feel rejected if someone dislikes them.
Their behavior is reinforced because people are too embarrassed to call them on it. The positive reinforcement causes them to lie again and, again, sometimes to the point they have no control over it.
Vince was unable to confront "Jessica" about her lies because he didn't want to deal with an awkward situation. The problem didn't disappear. Instead, he found that he began to question everything that she said. "Jessica's" lying was destroying the relationship. While many people admit to telling a few white lies, pathological liars
differ from "white liars" because what they say negatively affects their daily lives.
Christy Blanchard agrees that friendships with pathological liars can be annoying and hard. The Bert Nash psychologist says if a person continues to lie it can chip away at trust, a core factor of a relationship.
The best way to confront a friend who lies consistently is to make sure you never reinforce lies. If he or she says something you know is false, take them aside and confront them. Letting them know that you will not be lied to makes them embarrassed or uncomfortable enough not to do it again. If they continue to lie, let them know that you have no problem calling them out in public.
Stanley says that if you really like a person who tells more harmless lies, learn to take things they say with a grain of salt. The more comfortable a person becomes with you,the less likely they are to lie to impress you.
Vince did not feel like he could be in an untrustworthy relationship. The last straw was when "Jessica" told him she had an open relationship with a Washington, D.C., diplomat's daughter.
She also recommends therapy to work on the negative self-image many pathological liars have. By improving their self-image, they're able to tolerate rejection.
"The girl would supposedly fly in on the weekends just to sleep with her and then leave," he says. "If she had plans she should have just said so. I didn't want to deal with that."

[Advice in the fast lane.]
Q
I don't like to swallow when I go down on my boyfriend. I just spit it out and he gets offended! I hope you agree that he is way out of line.
Annie, Senior
a
Elizabeth: Of course he is out of line! Tell that unappreciative bastard that either you spit or you don't go down at all.
Chris: I think if you're willing to go downtown, your boyfriend should be satisfied with that. I think spitting it out can definitely lead to an awkward moment, but if you don't want to do it, you don't have to. The next time he brushes his teeth after giving you oral, you better not bitch.
I went potluck in the dorms and got a really creepy roommate. She snoops through my things and I've caught her wearing my panties! Do you think there is something sexual going on?
Q
Kayla, Freshman
Elizabeth: Since I don't know your roommate, it's hard for me to say what's going on. Make her Internet homepage www.victoriassecret.com. In the meantime, you may want consider switching rooms, unless you want to hook up with her.
a
Chris: It sounds like your roommate doesn't have any clothes. I would take her shopping and help her buy some nice clothes of her own. And she wants to do you.
Q
Last weekend I shacked up with a girl that I barely know and the next morning I wasn't sure when to leave. What's the morning after policy?
Justin, Junior
a
Elizabeth: As soon as you sober up enough to know what happened, get the hell out.
---
If you have burning questions, don't wait 'til they're flaming. Write to bitch@kansan.com and we'll try to soothe the flare up
Chris: Here's what you do: If it's your house, just pretend to be asleep until she leaves. Even if she doesn't have a car she'll eventually wander off. If you crashed at her place, play it by ear. If you like her and feel it's mutual, stick around. It's always fun to get some food together the next day. If you hate yourself for going home with the skunk lying beside you, try to slide out of the bed without waking her up. If you have to leave your clothes there, do it. Just try to make it out without anyone seeing you.

Revolutions, while weaker than its predecessors, is still a fun popcorn movie. If the plot doesn't hold your attention, the spectacular actions sequences will.
The film redeems itself somewhat with its special effects. There is nothing as revolutionary as the "bullet time" effect introduced in the first film, but there is plenty to look at. The pitched battle for Zion and Neo's final fight with Agent Smith are visually stunning sequences with well-used, non-intrusive CGI effects.
The Matrix Revolutions R, 126 minutes, Woodruff Auditorium (SUA)
8
---
The finale suffers from the continued deterioration of the original's plot. The story lacks drama and psuedo-theology runs rampant. The performances of the principal actors are wooden. Fishburne's delivery is particularly grating. Hugo Weaving as arch-villain Agent Smith is the exception; his bombastic performance is fun to watch. You may find yourself wishing he had more on-screen time. A number of minor characters are introduced who serve only to give the audience someone to root for during the drawn-out action scenes.
The Matrix Revolutions, the conclusion of the Wachowski Brothers' Matrix trilogy, picks up where The Matrix Reloaded left off. Neo (Keanu Reeves) is in a coma and Zion, humanity's last bastion, is preparing to defend itself from the machines. Laurence Fishburne reprises his role as Morpheus, and Carrie-Anne Moss returns as Trinity.
Hidalgo PG-13, 136 minutes, South Wind 12 Theatres
On the tail of Seabiscuit comes another movie about a horse race, this one set in the Arabian Desert.
Frank T. Hopkins (Viggo Mortensen) and his horse Hidalgo have been invited to the "Ocean of Fire," the harshest race on Earth. Hidalgo is a mustang who has never lost a long distance race but has never raced outside of America. He will face his toughest competition in a 3,000-mile race from Saudi Arabia to the Persian Gulf coast of Iraq.
Frank and Hidalgo have to race against sandstorms and defend themselves against extreme heat and dehydration. They also have to lookout for other riders who stop at nothing, even murder, to win the prestigious race. Hidalgo finishes the race with blood dripping out of his nostrils and Frank finishes. delirious from dehydration.
This movie is old and predictable. From Miracle to Seabiscuit to Against the Ropes, sports movies have the same storyline of an underdog going through hell and back to become victorious. Even with the tired storyline and the overt bashing of Muslims, Hidalgo is entertaining because of cool special effects, the intensity and picturesque desert panoramas.
Unfortunately, Hidalgo portrays Arabs as barbarians while the only civilized person in the movie is the American.

Grade: B
Starsky and Hutch PG-13, 97 minutes, South Wind 12 Theatres
Starsky and Hutch is a smart comedy filled with witty, nuanced dialogue and subtle humor. Actually, it's none of those things but who needs subtle humor when you have Snoop Dogg wearing maroon bellbottoms and one of the coolest cars ever to grace the silver screen?
Going to Starsky and Hutch for the plot is like going to a bar for a glass of milk. The film delivers everything its preview and publicity blitz promised — a 70's-style retro romp that keeps the audience laughing with ridiculous situations and inspired casting that reminds viewers of writer/director Todd Phillips' most recent effort, last year's Old School.
Starsky and Hutch is based on the 70's TV cop drama of the same name, which featured odd-couple undercover cops Ken Hutchinson and David Starsky. This remake, starring Ben Stiller as Starsky and Owen Wilson as Hutch, stays faithful to the original in every way; it's clear Phillips is a fan of the show. The cinematography gives the film a throwback look and the costumes perform the same job for the film's characters. And of course, the duo's legendary red-and-crash Gran Turino is featured heavily.

Team Doyobi Choose Your Own Adventure
Team Doyobi makes instrumental electronica that takes a little from every camp and could be compared to Autechre, Mouse on Mars or Prefuse 73 at different times. An odd, loosely conceptual "space voyage," which sounds like a Nintendo System gon mad, Choose Your Own Adventure is synthetic without being annoyingly so. The songs are not content to stay in one place and are constantly changing. Most importantly, Team Doyobi knows their craft and manages to stay interesting while working with a limited palette.
Mr. Airplane Man C'mon DJ
Grade: B+
Ryan Patrick, KJHK DJ
On the cover of Mr. Airplane Man's latest LP, two female heroines are sitting by a record player, listening to some old 45s. At first, you hope the garage-blues outfit might have dipped more into its heavy Bo Diddley influence and release a brash, swaggering, explosive album. However, this record can be described as Vietnam War Blues. The music is slower than earlier efforts, but more complex.. It is still a killer record, but one that you might not expect. The best way to put it is that this is Mr. Airplane Man's "Trinity Session."

Single Frame
Wetheads Come Running
Being a band in Austin, Texas, is probably about as difficult as keeping your eyes open when you sneeze or taking responsibility for My Baby's Daddy. The chaps in Single Frame seem to get along alright though. So what's their secret? Well, "Post Daydream Forecast" is a hell of a thing, all dressed up in dizzy keyboards. And it's hard not to like "Mod Style '68," although it could have been renamed "Hardcore Style'91" just as well. The Malkmus Mouse mumble of "Comm. Jet" pays off in a psychedelic rush near the end. And so on. You already have all of these albums in your collection though, and Single Frame is the cheat sheet dangling in front of your face. CliffsNotes comparisons aside, Single Frame show a lot of promise once it finds something to soothe their musical schizophrenia. Otherwise it might end up a cover band for aging hipsters, a "True Austin Story" of sorts.

Jonny Greenwood Bodysong
- Phil Torpey Host of "Breakfast for Beatlovers" Tudays from 9 a.m. to noon
A film score by Jonny Greenwood, the multi-instrumentalist from the almighty Radiohead. Bodysong is an award-winning British documentary written and directed by Simon Pummell. The film discusses life, from its creation to its sometimes disturbing end. Bodysong was funded by the UK's FilmFour Lab, a group that promotes "the newest and most striking creative visions of tomorrow's cinema." To accompany this brilliant film, Jonny Greenwood has produced a beautifully abstract instrumental backbone. It sonically mimicks the goal of the film: To describe the human sensory experience. After one listen, the parallel to the latest Radiohead release Hail to the Thief is abundantly clear. Tracks range from catchy to simply listenable. As with every soundtrack, you get it only after viewing the film. Regardless of Greenwood's intentions, this is a brilliant piece of music and worth checking out.

15 Minutes of Shame
A
By Lisa Picasso, Jayplay writer
March 2000: My senior year of high school and the rite-of passage spring break trip is in full swing. My overly excited pack of 18-year-old girlfriends and I are doing what else? Running around Cancun, Mexico, with 12-inch Long Island Ice Teas in one hand and our trusty disposable cameras in the other. Fueled by unhealthy amounts of booze served in pink plastic "test tubes," we naturally flock to the MTV booth at Fat Tuesday apply to be on the "Win a Dream Date with Enrique Iglesias" contest. Auditions for the show consist of producers taking a Polaroid of each girl in her swimsuit. "Sober Lisa" would have strayed from a situation with such horrific potential, but no, the "It's our senior year spring break!" chant surfaces. The five of us get "selected" to be on the televised contest. The only parameter? Show up in your bikini. Objective of the game? Dig through the sand to find CDs while covered in foam.
The next day, revved up for my 15 minutes of fame, I find myself surrounded by 24 other aggressive girls. I become mildly anxious. Amid the sea of skimpy string bikinis, myburgundy J.Crew two-piece suddenly seems like something my grandmother bought me. Soon we're handed fluorescent goggles to protect our eyes from the foam, which should have been sign number two that it was time to bail. We're advised to dance to "Bailamos" by Enrique Iglesias, if that's even possible, and before I know it, the contest is under way. The slurred yelling of college boys fills the air and it looks uncomfortably similar to Girls Gone Wild. I'm now separated from my friends and things aren't so fun as overly-tanned girls fight for close-ups. The foam never ceases, pouring out faster with each passing minute. My eyes start to burn at this point. The pain is comparable to Coppertone sunscreen being rubbed in and the stinging sensation starts to feel like pins are gouging my eyes out. My goal is to stop looking for CDs and regain clear vision. I suppose that is when my eyes began to profusely tear and me, the awkward tall girl, was at a standstill. MTV crew members began think-
like pins are gouging my eyes out. My goal is to stop looking for CDs and regain clear vision. I suppose that is when my eyes began to profusely tear and me, the awkward tall girl, was at a standstill. MTV crew members began thinking, "She's ruining our shot."
Arms outstretched in front of me, I manage to make my way to a crew member through smudged goggles and explain over "Rhythm Divine" that I can't see. He looks annoyed. It's bad. Really bad. My 15 minutes of fame are now more like six or seven. As I'm escorted off the set, I think, "This is it. Rock Bottom. Half naked, blind and caught on national television."
I'm what you would call an "unlucky lucky person." Upon being presented with golden opportunities and potentially great situations, I always somehow manage to blow it and thoroughly embarrass myself in the process. I've performed such classic acts as bruising my face the day of a date, rambling to the point of humiliation whey meeting baseball legend George Brett and having my cheek skim the carpet of the Granada stage during yet another contest. Pathetic? Maybe. Funny? Absolutely. Through these events. I've

learned to laugh at myself—albeit a week or two, sometimes months, after an incident. But these stories have made for great conversation starters-or stoppers in some instances.Friends and family plead with me to re-tell the "time that Lisa 'fill in the blank'" story and I'm granted a hearty chuckle from all listening.
When I got home from Cancun that year in high school, one or two random guys came up to me snickering, "Hey, didn't I see you on MTV?" "Yeah, you did," I would bitterly respond. But like every other blunder I've had, it wasn't as bad as I'd conceived it to be. In fact, it was kind of fun(ny).

FINAL FOUR
Studying the sixth man
Search for positive image drives fans
By Bill Cross
bcross@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The first day of December 2001 was a good day for University of Kansas basketball fans. Kansas forward Drew Gooden logged a then-career-high 36 minutes en route to defeating the Arizona Wildcats, the fourth-ranked team in the country, in Tucson.
were chad in it.
"I showed up wearing my KU shirt, hat,
pants, socks, underwear, headband in my
second-row seats," Bloch said. He did not
let the jeers of the Wildcat-faithful dampen
his experience.
"I jumped up and down yelling and screaming every time Gooden dunked. Needless to say, I lost my voice before the game was over," he said.
Insane, spirited and demented are just a few words friends used to describe Bloch's obsession with Kansas basketball. But strange as it may seem, he is not far removed from a normal basketball fan at the University or fans of other sports teams.
Nyla Branscombe, psychology professor, has studied the motivation behind sports obsession. She said fans disassociate from unsuccessful sports teams, so those with long-term success, such as Kansas basketball, tend to have large, loyal fan bases because of the team's reliability. But, she said, every team has fans that are too dedicated to back away when a bad season hits.
Branscombe said fans also protect their self esteem by emphasizing negative aspects of opposing teams and their fans. For example, one of the hottest topics of conversation on campus this week was probably Missouri's first-round NIT loss to Michigan.
The search for a positive social identity is the primary motivation for sports fans, so their team and its fans must, in the fan's
mind, always be better than other teams, Branscombe said. Jayhawk fans, for example, will rationalize that Kansas is better than the Oklahoma State because the latter has not been to the Final Four recently. Oklahoma State fans will say the Cowboys are superior because they won this year's Big 12 Conference championship.
Most fans deny that they are subconsciously motivated. In his book True Believers, author Joe Queenan said he thought the Philadelphia Phillies were affected by a ceramic turtle in his living room.
"Without the intercession of the enchanted turtle, the Phils would have gotten creamed by the Atlanta Braves," he wrote.

2-year-old injured in traffic accident
By Ron Knox
rknox@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A KU student struck and critically injured a 2-year-old boy just before noon yesterday on the 1300 block of Kentucky Street.
Kennedy Jennifer Holland's Jeep Cherokee hit the boy, Benington resident Logan Prothro, as he exited a car on the right side of the street, said Sgt. Mike Patrickck of the Lawrence Police Department.
Prothro was taken by helicopter to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., but he was not yet registered in hospital records at press time. It takes about 24 hours for patients to be listed in hospital records.
Prothro was in critical condition when the helicopter lifted him from Memorial Stadium, Patrick said.
No charges had been filed against Holland, Prairie Village senior, although police will continue to investigate, Patrick said. He said he did not suspect alcohol or drugs to be a factor.
"The investigation hasn't concluded, but I don't have any indication that it was anything more than an accident," Patrick said.
Prothro exited his grandmother's car and darted into the street, said Amanda Wolfe. Overland Park senior, who was driving behind Holland.
driving beyond the child
Wolfe said the Jeep ran over the child
as his grandmother screamed from the
curb.
Paramedics arrived minutes later and assisted the boy, said Kerry Nowak, Lawrence resident, who owns the lawn where the boy was carried.
"He wasn't crying or moving. He was pretty lifeless," Nowak said.
Wolfe said the accident was so sudden and unexpected that it could have happened to anyone.
"You see what could happen," Wolfe said, "and you know there's nothing you could do about it."

Task force looks at smoking issue
Group will report to City Commission at end of this month.
By Laura Pate
lpate@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
In two weeks, the smoke may clear on an issue that has people fuming.
Photo Illustration by Abby Tillery/Kansas The task force appointed by the mayor has been gathering information about the effects of second-hand smoke.
In response to complaints about secondhand smoke in bars and restaurants, Mayor David Dunfield appointed a task force last April to research second-hand smoke issues. The six-person task force has been researching the effects of second-hand smoke, the economic impact a smoking ban can cause and the smoking laws of other cities and options to minimize the effects of second-hand smoke. Lawrence bar owners, citizens and a professional researcher make up the task force.
The task force plans to meet with commissioners March 31 to discuss the findings of its study and to suggest alternate courses of action the city could take in dealing with second-hand smoke. Until then, commissioners have remained relatively mute and objective on the topic. Commissioners want to talk to the task force before they reach any conclusions, Dunfield said.
David Kingsley, president of the smoking task force, said that second-hand smoke presents a major health hazard to employees. He knows a non-smoking woman who worked as a waitress in a smoky restaurant for approximately 30 years before doctors diagnosed emphysema. She could not continue to work because she had difficulty breathing and
occasionally used an oxygen tank.
He also knew a young woman who died from an asthma attack after coming home from working at a restaurant. Although he does not know if the smoky restaurant caused her asthma attack, it could not have helped, he said.
Smoking must be regulated in bars and restaurants, he said. Limiting smoking is not an issue of taking a bar or restaurant's freedoms away, it is an issue of protecting employees, he said.
"Why would a smoker have the right to cause an employee harm?" Kingsley said.
Matt Williams, Tonganoxie senior, has breathed smoke for two years as a bartender at the Sandbar, 117 E. Eighth St. He favors a smoking ban.
.
"I would like to have smoke not blown in my face," he said.
But ultimately, it is the employee's responsibility to stay out of a smoking environment if need be, Williams said.

New pharmacy dean has 'realistic view'
By Rupal Gor
rgor@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Kenneth Audus, who was selected as dean of pharmacy Monday, began his career in pharmacy when he was in high school, working part-time for a pharmacist in South Dakota.
"I asked him a lot of questions about pills and drugs, and how those things actually worked," Audus said.
The pharmacist told Audus, who is also a professor of molecular and integrative physiology, to get a degree in chemistry and pharmacology. So he did.
Audus went to the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, S.D., and began medical school in the graduate program.
His graduate adviser, Mike Gordon, accepted a job at the University of Kansas and Audus took that opportunity to follow him to Lawrence.
Audus was able to transfer to KU Medical Center in the pharmacology program. From there, he received his post-doctorate in 1984 and joined the faculty in 1986.
A
His 20 years with the School of Pharmacy doesn't seem that long, he said. Audus said he was fortunate to work in the school with such influential colleagues. He said the senior faculty had shaped him to be a good role model and to deal with changes in the school.

Judge's decision cuts off Internet access for Haskell
LAWRENCE — Students at Haskell Indian Nations University and tens of thousands of other students at American Indian schools have found themselves scrambling after a court ruling shut down their Internet access.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ordered the Interior Department to pull the plug on most of its Internet connections, finding that the department still hasn't fixed computer security problems that could jeopardize millions of dollars in royalties for American Indians.
Lambert's order cut off access for about 900 Haskell students, as well as students at Southwest Indian Polytechnic Institute in Albuquerque, N.M. Also losing access were most of the 50,000 students who attend elementary, secondary and boarding schools either directly operated by the BIA or funded by the BIA and tribally operated. Affected schools get their Internet services through the Educational Native American Network, which is directed by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Besides being unable to send and receive e-mail and conduct Internet research, Web sites for Haskell and other institutions connected to the Department of Interior also are down.

House panel opens review of GOP school finance plan
Committee began debate yesterday on a $92 million school finance plan offered by the chamber's Republicans, who were far from united on the merits of the proposal.
House Speaker Doug Mays (R-Topeka) and Majority Leader Clay Aurand (R-Courtland) told the committee the plan was a short-term solution to school funding that addressed needs of poor and minority students, while giving districts some flexibility.
"This should not be regarded as a permanent fix in any way," Mays said. "This is something that will get us through to '05, then everything will be on the table."
The committee expects to vote today on the bill.
TOPEKA—The House Education

The plan would allow school districts to increase spending on special-education programs by $40.5 million, but districts would have to reduce or eliminate a property tax break for home owners to get some of the funds.
Panel adds bowling alleys to expanded gambling bill
The bill reflects the governor's proposals for up to five, state-owned "destination" casinos as well as slot machines at dog and horse racing tracks and at 240 private clubs operated
TOPEKA — A Senate committee endorsed Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' gambling proposals yesterday after expanding the legislation to allow slot machines at bowling alleys, driving ranges and some other recreational sites.
by veterans and fraternal organizations. The clubs could have five machines each.
At the request of Sen. Donald Betts (D-Wichita) the Federal and State Affairs Committee added a provision for slot machines at sports or recreational businesses that had been in business at least five years and were already licensed to offer the state's Club Keno lottery game.
Eligible sports-related businesses
Eligible sports-related businesses which might also include those offering such activities as batting cages and go-kart tracks - would be allowed five slot machines each.

"Everyone else has been included," Betts said in explaining his amendment.

"It feels like when you are walking that your vision is off two feet to the right and two feet to the left," Ribnick said.
Under the bill, the state would receive at least 22 percent of the revenues from casinos and 64.5 percent of the revenues from the slot machines at tracks, private clubs and sports businesses.

Candidates prepare for campaigns
By Andy Marso amarso@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The Elections Commission is in place, the candidates are set and the KUnited and Delta Force platforms are written in stone or least in paper fliers. The planning stages are over, the upcoming Student Senate election campaigns are ready to begin and spring break is the only thing stopping them.
While other students are lounging in beach chairs under the sun, the candidates for student body president and vice president will be planning more aggressive postbreak campaigning. With the elections scheduled for April 14 and 15, there will be only a few precious weeks to get students' attention after they return from the week off.
"A lot of people are inspired to make change here at KU."

Steve Munch, KUnited's presidential candidate, said. "Up until then it doesn't matter much. We're just getting things rolling."

sophomore. He's running with
Jeff Dunlap, Leawood junior. His
Delta Force opponent, Blake

KUnited has been doing "passive tabling" on Wescoe Beach since last week. Passive tabling means the coalition members sit at a table and only talk to people who approach them. Coalitions aren't allowed to engage in active tabling, or leaving the table to talk to people walking by, until the last full week before the election.
Lately the coalitions have been focused on registering candidates for the 57 senator positions in the various schools of the University.
Every prospective senator had to get 50 signatures of support from students in its school by Wednesday.
Swenson said Delta Force registered 45 candidates who were diverse in age, ethnicity, area of study and extra-curricular interests.

Groups show off University at Capitol
There was no escaping the crimson and blue. From doughnuts to display tables, the colors covered the Capitol for the first KU in the Capitol day.
More than 20 groups representing all four KU campuses were on display in the first floor rotunda of the Capitol yesterday.
Legislators, students touring the building and Capitol staff all flocked to the displays, receiving free food and KU accessories. Kevin Boatright, interim vice chancellor for university relations, said the response both at the Capitol and the University had been amazing.
"KU's not just social welfare with a sex class."
Boatright said his office invited groups to participate and received a unanimous response. Because of interest generated by the event, University Relations added other groups who volunteered to attend.
Mark Buhler Senator(R-Lawrence)
Groups present included the School of Law, KU Medical Center, Office of Admissions and Scholarships and KU Continuing Education.
Margey Frederick, visitor services director, helped plan the event. She said the theme for the day was KU Serves Kansas.
Boatright said they wanted to show that the University was not just one campus in one place.
just camp this will have an impact on people who don't understand how extensive our outreach is," Boatright said.
Events planned for the day included a photo of all legislators
connected to the University and an appearance by Baby Jay.
Middle-school students touring the Capitol crowded around the railing on the second floor balcony to get a peek at what the University was doing.
Some even snuck away from the group to grab a free Jayhawk sticker.
Giveaways attracted several people. Joyce Roush, a file clerk at the Capitol, said her office heard the University was offering food, so she and her co-workers came down to check it out.
"We came for the doughnuts," Roush said, "but all the information is good to know."
Legislators hurrying through the rotunda en route to meetings also stopped at the displays. Sen. Mark Buhler (R-Lawrence) said the exhibits brought a lot of energy to the Capitol.

Garrett said while their booth hadn't seen as much traffic as others because they didn't have any giveaways, many people had been in the rotunda in the morning.
Frederick said the day would become an annual event, and there were already lots of ideas for next year.

Alternative Breaks brings issues home
By Patrick Cady pcady@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
For once Renee Horinek knew what it was like. She knew the cold. The desperation.
The Topeka senior spent a night in the west San Francisco streets. She took part in an urban plunge last year as part of the Alternative Spring Break program. She was, for once in her life, homeless.
But, by experiencing the kindness of a stranger, and taking part in the program she understood the power of those who help.
"It is life-changing," Horinek said.
Now, another set of groups 105 students strong - from the Alternative Breaks program, prepare to spread across the country to 13 sites to perform service this spring break.
spring break The groups, usually no larger than seven or eight people, will take part in service opportunities ranging from cleaning the environment to helping AIDS patients, said Horinek, Alternative Spring Break coordinator.
Jasmine Titus, Newton senior, has been on the program five times. She said she always found something new.
This time she's helping patients at a temporary living house that cares for HIV victims in Chicago, an experience she's looking forward to.
"It's a new city for me and a new issue," Titus said. "It's going to be a new experience."
People participating in the program also take part in a class for either no credit, one credit or two credits to help prepare them for service.
It's part of what they call service learning, Horinek said. Participants use their experiences to help learn how to serve people better.
To prepare, each group attends each weekly class, mainly led by facilitators such as Horinek. Dur-
HOW TO GO ON AN ALTERNATIVE BREAK
If you want to take part in an alternative break, follow these steps:
1. Visit the Alternative Breaks office on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
2. Look at pictures from past breaks. Ask which might be best for you.
3. Submit an application with the $50 deposit.
5. Attend classes and training sessions.

ng class, it listens to guest speakers talk about aspects of the different sites and social issues, said Michael Payne, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior and codirector of Alternative Breaks.
Those speakers prepare and broaden the students' minds on the pertinent social issues such as poverty, ecology and queer issues, Payne said.
Titus said that she prepared for her trip by packing lightly with clothes she wouldn't mind getting dirty. A lot of sites might include hands-on labor or dirty work.
Despite the dirty work, Titus said she grew closer to her group and experienced inner growth through the trip.
"When you're doing service learning you take what you need from the experience," Titus said.
Titus said she took back memories from many great service opportunities.
For Horinek, the program led to her future career in social work.
For the rest of the group, the trip's meaning has yet to be found.

The University made a responsible, tasteful decision by not allowing a reality show to take place on campus.
nearly tangible and the University was basking in the collective glow of the national spotlight.
But as history has repeatedly demonstrated, notoriety isn't always a good thing.
This year's NCAA tournament kicked off yesterday and it's becoming increasingly apparent that April basketball may not be in the cards for the Jayhawks this year.
The University was offered an alternate way to throw itself into
the limelight: allow the WB network to film a reality show here on campus.

After a week of late-February talks with the network, University officials declined the offer, citing the lack of control that they would have over certain elements of the show.
Score one for good taste
The proposed show, Big Man On Campus,would have selected one male student from the University and set him up on dates with different female students.
Sure, the opportunity would have afforded a good deal of exposure to the University, but administrators ultimately decided that such exposure would be more negative than positive and might give female students a bad image.
Just the thought of Kansas being associated within a subculture that includes shows such as the Fox network's My Big, Fat, Obnoxious Fiance and The Littlest Groom is enough in itself to halt production.
Now before you thinking how cool it might be to turn the television on Wednesday nights and see your smiling face on the screen, consider the dynamics of the average reality show.
The shows are set up to screw people, not to create long-term
relationships. What would the big twist ending be this time? It's not likely to be anything classv.
Elizabeth Willy for The University Daily Kansan
In a culture that loves to watch people suffer and be embarrassed University officials unequivocally took the high road in making the decision not to host a show.
US News & World Report recently released its annual list of
the best colleges and universities in the country.
Out of 322 featured schools, the University of Kansas checked in at No. 95. If the list-makers get wind of Kansas' decision to turn down the reality show, maybe we can crack the top 50 next year.
At the very least, move us ahead of Missouri, please.
Spain attacks costly to American allies
WAKE UP!
The Bush administration suffered another substantial blow to its re-election bid with the terrorist attacks that happened in Madrid on March 11. Spain is one of the United States' closest allies in the war on terrorism and the military campaign in Iraq.
campaign.Harvard Bush's personal vendetta against Saddam Hussein may turn out to be a costly one.
COMMENTARY
A
Brandon Cobb opinion@kansan.com
World War II is often referred to as "the war no one wanted," and the same argument can be made for last year's Iraqi War. The U.S.-led coalition is not a strong one and many argue that the United Nations does not play a significant role in Iraq. Ninety percent of Spain's voting electorate was opposed to a war with Iraq but Spain's Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar went against its wishes and joined the U.S.-led coalition against Iraq anyway.
Now the Spanish have suffered the biggest terrorist attack in its nation's history exactly 911 days after Sept. 11. Early evidence points to its alliance with the
United States as one of the reasons behind the horrific attacks. A tape delivered from an Al-Qaeda spokesman states, "This is an answer to your cooperation with the Bush criminals and their allies." U.S. officials believe that there is a definite Al-Qaeda connection in the Madrid bombings, but the Spanish government is making sure it reviews all evidence before placing full blame on any one group.
More than 200 people lost their lives and more than 1,750 more were injured in the Madrid attacks. President Aznar's political party, The Popular Party, suffered in Sunday's election because of the attack. Aznar was not running for reelection but his political party lost 35 seats in parliament and saw its opposition, The Socialist Party of Spain, gain 164 of 350 lower house seats.
164 of 350 lower house seats. Bush should pay close attention the political shift that just took place in Spain. A year has gone by since the start of the Iraqi War and people want answers. No weapons of mass destruction were found, the capture of Saddam and the deaths of his sons have not stopped ambushes of U.S. soldiers. Only time will tell if the Spanish people made the right decision in choosing new leadership, but that is the wonderful characteristic of democracy. If the powers that be do not listen to the voice of its people they can be voted out of power.
Spain's Prime Minister-elect Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has already vowed to pull Spanish troops out of Iraq by June 30. He said that the Iraqi war, "divided more than it united, there were no reasons for it. Time has shown that the arguments for it
lacked credibility and the occupation has been managed badly."
been managed. Zapatero's statements could cause a domino effect amongst U.S. allies because no country wants its people to be victims of terrorism. If it is constantly proven that terrorists are purposely going to attack the United States and its allies I would not be surprised if more countries followed in the footsteps of the Spanish.
Bush is already behind Kerry in early polls and there are too many questions being left unanswered about the United States' foreign policy. Americans want answers. Unfortunately the two men running for president are not offering answers. Bush is not talking and all Kerry does is criticize a Bush foreign agenda that he helped legislate.
America is the only remaining superpower in the world and the last thing this country needs is for its allies to lose faith in their alliances.

PERSPECTIVE
Finding equality ongoing battle
"...If you get there/Before I do/Coming for to carry me home/Tell all my friends/I'm coming too/Coming for to carry me home..."
carry me home.
—"Swing Low Sweet Chariot" (Traditional)
Home is more than where one lives. Home is comfort. Home is pride. Home is solace. But more than anything, home is freedom. If there is an American Dream, then education is its foundation and freedom would be its heart.
Half a century after Brown v. Board, we are still fighting inequality. Brown v. Board changed the practice from segregation to school vouchers, to zoning of districts, to property taxation. All of which have led to widespread educational inequality. In Missouri, as of the 2003-04 school year, 16 school districts are provisionally accredited and one school district has no accreditation, according to the Missouri Department of Education. Compare those school districts to Olathe or Blue Valley and they are far from equal.
Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka is the gate to equal education. The 1954 Supreme Court decision declared "separate but equal" unconstitutional. This week is the end the national conference celebrating the decision.
COMMENTARY
"Equality is the equal distribution of it. It being power, money, education."
Brandi Mathiesen and Cornelius Minor opinion@kansan.com
The progress toward equality is difficult. Nothing in life is easy. The achievements we celebrate were bought and paid for with blood. Brown v. Board was monumental because it illustrated the work that needs to be continued. To reach the equality that the case promised is to be racially literate. It's important to understand the historical impact that race, class and gender have had on almost every aspect of American life.
Tony Daniels, associate director of Multicultural Resource Center, said. "Michael Jordan had the money, but he was not allowed participation in certain country clubs. He was denied it."
Unfortunately, these factors have not always produced positive outcomes. To talk about history is not to bring about the demons of the past; it is the first step in a redemptive dialogue. Bringing
issues of race to the forefront is not racist, it is progressive. America admittedly has a race problem, a gender problem and a class problem and we can't arrive at solutions to problems that we are afraid of and refuse to talk about. The blind faith that we are all the same is not enough. Great faith requires great work.
In this case, the great work is the work of learning, understanding and celebration. Learning is accepting information. Understanding is applying the information. It is the question of how to apply what was learned. Celebration is living the application.
"Do you have the strength to love another's child as much as you love your own?" said Tony Brown, civil-rights activist.
Can you invest in the education of another as you would invest in your education? Can you fight for the rights of the person sitting next to you knowing nothing more then the color of their skin? To do that is to be human and to do that is to honor Brown v. Board. Look beyond yourself and what you have acquired in your short life and provide for everyone equal opportunity of education. Because with education comes freedom. And with freedom we are home.

TASK FORCE:Some oppose ban
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Daniel Gilchrist, Topeka junior and bartender at The Crossing. 618 W. 12th St., agreed.
"We know the risk going in." Gilchrist said. "If you don't like it, quit."
Jerry Neverve, owner of Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., said he didn't see any harm in breathing in second-hand smoke. Biased studies exaggerate the risks of second-hand smoke, he said.
"If you take their studies and multiply them out, almost everyone would be dead," Neverve said.
said.
Smoking task force members have also ran into unbiased research in the past year. Dave Hiebert, smoking task force member, said that it was difficult to find unbiased research about secondhand smoke. If the city bans smoking in restaurants and bars, it will be stepping on a fundamental right, Neverve said. The government shouldn't have the right to take away a business's personal
choice to allow smoking,he said
note to be received Bobby Kasper, manager of Molly McGee's, 2429 Iowa St., agreed. He does not want to see Lawrence rope-off restaurants and bars from smokers. Each bar and restaurant should have the right to decide whether to allow smokers, he said.
"The city doesn't tell me what items I can serve, so why should it tell me who to allow to come in the restaurant?" Kasper said.
Mayor Dunfield wants to find a balance between health and economic concerns. His decision hinges on balancing a business owner's right to have smoking with public health and safety.
If the city did place stronger restrictions on smoking in restaurants and bars, these businesses would survive, said Mike Wildgen, city manager. People would become used to everything being smoke-free. They would just expect it, and that would not turn them away from a particular restaurant, he said.

SMOKING IN BIG 12 CONFERENCE CITIES
Date passed: August 1995
Smoking is prohibited in restaurants and bars, except in enclosed and ventilated areas.
Smoking is prohibited in the workplace and in all other public indoor places.
Columbia, Mo.
Date passed: December 2003 Restaurants can allow smoking areas as long as the area does not have to be passed to go to a non-smoking area or restroom. Bars can allow smoking areas.
Lawrence
Date passed: December 1986 Smoking is prohibited in restaurants with a seating capacity of 30 or fewer. But the city allows all other restaurants and bars to have smoking areas. Since April, Mayor David Dunfield has had a task force study the issues related to smoking in public. The task force will present its findings to the city commission March 31.
Date passed: could become effective July 1
Lincoln, Neb.
Most businesses must go smoke-free by July 1. Restaurants and bars that earn less than 60 percent of sales from food are free from this requirement. The city's health advisory board is discussing other options, such as requiring restaurants to buy permits to allow smoking, making restaurants go smoke-free by Nov. 1 rather than July 1, easing restrictions banning 18-year-olds from bars with smoking and requiring bars that permit smoking to have more ventilation, to state whether an employee should have to work in a smoky environment.
Manhattan
Date passed: April 1991 Besides smoking being prohibited in government buildings, Manhattan does not have any regulations against smoking.

PHARMACY: New dean has teaching experience
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Audus is universally respected, said Jeff Aubé professor of medicinal chemistry and chairman of the dean search committee. Audus has taught at the University for a long time, Aubé said, and his experience is what it takes to bring the school to another level.
"He knows what our opportunities are and what our problems are," Aubé said. "He has a realistic view of the school."
the view of the school Jack Fincham announced he would step down as dean last
summer. He will be teaching at the Albert W. Jowdy pharmacy care at the University of Georgia pharmacy college in Athens, Ga.
Audus said he was looking forward to the challenges of being a dean at the school. Before applying for the position,he said it was an easy choice to consider: He envisioned the school remaining one of the top schools of pharmacy in research, graduate and professional programs.
Emphasizing the Human Genome Project and continuously training pharmacy students to be
successful pharmacists were other goals. There are numerous directions the school can go in, he said.
Taking self-initiative in the school has helped Audus. He said he took most of the opportunities presented to him.
"I've always felt that if there was something I wanted to do, I could get the support for it," Audus said.
He said he wouldn't have been in the position he was in now if not for his supportive colleagues.
Dobrowsky, associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology. He emphasizes high-quality research and academic integrity, which can enhance undergraduate education. Dobrowsky said.
Audus is fair and open to suggestions to improve the school as well as the University, said Rick
"He's a very good scientist and knows what it takes to succeed," he said.
Aubé said Audus was wellrounded, and as dean he could deal with all elements in the school, from dealing with alumni and students to research and funding.
Audus will continue teaching and will step in as dean April 19.

ST. LOUIS: Kansas predicted to win in first round of tournament
CONTINUED FROM 10A
Nate Robinson, who stands just five-foot-eight. Despite his size, he's a leaper, and has the intensity to fuel the Huskies against a good UAB squad. The Blazers turned some heads in the Conference USA tournament, but they have not faced the heavyweights that the Huskies have this year, which is a big disadvantage. Prediction — Washington 80, UAB 70
5 Providence (20-8) vs. #12 Pacific (24-7)
Providence is the definitive sleeper. Pacific made an outstanding run in the season's stretch, but has very little chance, if any. Providence is silent now because it has lost three straight games. But don't forget, the Friars have defeated Connecticut, Illinois, Syracuse and lost to Texas at the buzzer. Forward Ryan Gomes is as good as they come. His 19 points and 9.5 rebounds per game lead the team, and he is one of four starters who average more than 10 points per game. The Friars are a serious threat, and you heard it here. Prediction — Providence 83, Pacific 58
4 Kansas (21-8) vs. #13 UIC (24-7)
Everyone knows the struggles Kansas has had with overachieving opponents such as Holy Cross and Utah State in the opening round the past two seasons. As they have before, the Jayhawks will win this game, but it will be a lot closer than anyone thinks. Kansas needs the team that took the floor against Missouri last Friday night to show up in Kemper Arena this weekend, and not the sluggish group that was defeated by Texas the next day. One key to Kansas' success toward the end of the season has been Aaron Miles scoring more. He'll need to win against a UIC team that can score at will. Senior guards Martell Bailey and Cedric Banks will not let the Flames get put out without a fight. Prediction — Kansas 84, UIC 78
6 Boston College (23-9) vs. #11 Utah (24-8)
A very interesting game. Boston College may be at the disadvantage because there's concern the Eagles might be physically spent with the physical push it took just to get into the tournament. Utah is young and well-coached. The Utes' senior swingman Nick Jacobsen averages 16.5 points per game, and has limitless shooting range. Freshman forward Andrew Bogut is the silent killer for Utah.
He could change this game significantly against a Boston College team that lacks size. Prediction — Utah 73, Boston College 63
3 Georgia Tech (23-9) vs. #14 Northern Iowa (21-9)
If the Northern Iowa Panthers want a chance at this game, their outside shooting will have to be much more than consistent. Georgia Tech is extremely athletic, with unlimited depth at the guard spot. Key late-season victories against Duke and North Carolina have the Yellow Jackets confident. It's hard for a dunk to change the pace of a game, but if Tech's Is'mail Muhammad gets the chance, he can alter the game's momentum that easily. He's the best dunker in college basketball, and can pick up his team when it needs it most. Prediction — Georgia Tech 92, UNI 64
7 Michigan State (18-11) vs.
10 Neyada (18-11)
Michigan State has had a stellar finish to the season after stumbling again and again in its impossible non-conference schedule. Despite the Spartans climbing back up, and even making a return to the Top 25, Nevada is hot after winning the WAC Tournament. The Wolfpack can
defeat anyone, as it proved early in the season against Kansas. Nevada also suits up one of the nation's top scoring guards in Kirk Snyder, who averages 18.8 points per game. If Snyder gets the ball and is shooting well, it could be a long night for the Spartans. For Michigan State to win this one, the Spartans will need forward Paul Davis to do some serious damage for the entire 40 minutes, as Nevada has little talent in the low post outside of freshman Nick Fazekas. Prediction — Nevada 68, Michigan State 62
2 Gonzaga (27-2) vs. #15 Valparaiso (18-12)
Gonzaga is extremely deep, with 10 guys who could all be starters. Plus, the Zags start four seniors, which is a rarity in college basketball for a top program. Senior forward Ronny Turif leads the team in scoring and rebounding, and is extremely scrappy under the basket. He's a fun player to watch. If he should be off in the game, look for Blake Stepp and Adam Morrison to pick up the slack on the perimeter. Gonzaga will coast into the Sweet 16. Prediction — Gonzaga 97, Valpo 70

FIELDHOUSE: Problems at arena include leaks, temperature
CONTINUED FROM 10A
He said with all the things that could be done, he's glad he's not the one who's making the decisions about where the money will go.
Other officials in the department are responsible for those decisions, and what specifically will be done and how it will be done are questions that lack exact answers at this point, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs.
The renovations will be an important part of continuing the Fieldhouse's tradition Marchiony said.
It's hard to take a facility like this, as old as it is, and really make it look nice."
Ron Penry facilities supervisor
"We are going to improve the general fan experience of being there." Marchiony said.
Penry said many of the problems had been around since he first became facilities supervisor 10 years ago.
Hesaid he believed budget limitations were the main reason more repair work hadn't been
done.
"I think they've done as good a job as they can with the budget they have," Penry said.
He said the problems varied in severity. Repairs during the years have reduced the leaking of the roof, he said, but the windows could still be bad.
Regarding the lack of air conditioning, he said it wasn't a problem for most of the season, because the season was during cooler months, but it could really be an issue at the beginning, and a lot of people complained about it.
"If we get a rain out of the north, it's like a waterfall coming out of those north windows," Penry said.
Penry said any renovations would help his job as facilities supervisor.
"It's hard to take a facility like this, as old as it is, and really make it look nice," Peny said.
Sean Lester, associate athletics director for internal affairs, said the department had interviewed six architectural firms for the renovations, but had yet to establish a contract with any of them. Jim Modig, director of design and construction management for the University, said a contract would probably be set soon after the conclusion of the NCAA tournament.

poor defense downfall for Royals against A's
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Barry Zito, the 2002 American League Cy Young Award winner, allowed two runs over five innings yesterday to pick up his first spring training victory as the Oakland Athletics topped the Kansas City Royals 9-2.
Zito gave up five hits, walked one, struck out two and hit a batter in his third start.
He yielded a run with two out in the first when Aaron Guiel's double scored Mike Sweeney. David DeJesus' single in the fourth scored Tony Graffanino, who had walked, for the other Kansas City run.
"I was trying to overthrow a
little bit early," Zito said. "When I
let my body work for me, I settled down and got a feel for pitching again."
Left-hander Brian Anderson gave up four runs on three hits and a walk in the first inning, but nothing after that. After eight A's came to the plate in the first, Anderson faced just 13 batters the next four innings.
"I'll take that from him anytime," Royals manager Tony Pena said. "He threw only 65 pitches for five innings and that is low especially after that first inning.
"If he keeps getting ground balls, we're going to catch ground balls."
But the Royals played sloppy defense Thursday, with infielders Joe Randa, Graffanino and Wilton Guerrero all committing errors.

JAYHAWKS: Not feeling pressure
CONTINUED FROM 10A
Martell Bailey and Cedrick Banks. Bailey is as consistent as point guards come, and even though his scoring numbers are down this year, he is a mistake-free point guard. Banks versus Langford will be the most intriguing matchup of the night.
"You separate yourself mentally when it comes down to games like this," Langford said. "Once you lose, you've got to go home and watch everyone else
Langford was held out of yesterday's practice because of a knee injury that has been bothering him lately. Langford has played in pain before, and knows that now is not the time to cry.
play. Last year, we played in the last game of the season, and I know from my freshman year, coming home and watching the Maryland-Indiana game, that was no fun."
Freshman guard J.R. Giddens was also held out yesterday from participating to rest his sore foot.
On the flip-side of Kemper being an emotional advantage, the Jayhawks are not feeling any pressure to escape this weekend and advance to St. Louis for the regional semifinals.
"We know it ain't gonna be no cakewalk," junior guard Aaron Miles said. "I don't feel there's any pressure at all."

GOLFER: Consistency is key

Off the course, Ward said that he enjoys fishing to get away from everything and relax. He also said that he plays some racquetball with the trainers as an alternate source of exercise.
KU golf plays in the Western Intercollegiate March 22-23 at the Pasatiempo Golf Course in Santa Cruz, Calif. Ward said he tried to
keep his consistency in preparation for the next tournament.
"Every day, you try to get better," Ward said. "Everyone has their own way of preparing, but getting out there and practicing is the main thing that coach wants us to do. If we put the time in, we put ourselves in a position to win like we have been this season."

Kansas tennis team gets second conference win
KINGAS
Going on just two days rest, the Kansas tennis team (13-8 overall, 2-1 Big 12) earned its second conference victory of the season as the Jayhawks defeated 74th-ranked Kansas State 5-2, on Wednesday at the Washburn Tennis Facility in Manhattan.
Kansas avenged last year's loss to the Wildcats as seniors Courtney and Kristen Steinbock continued their winning ways as the twin sisters of Lubbock, Texas, defeated Maria Rosenberg and Paulina Castillejos 8-3. In the number two slot, Kansas State's Jessica Simosa and Judith Diaz nullified an 8-3 victory.
Matt Spencer, Derby freshman, Jess Dress, Overland Park senior, and Joe Christman, Hutchinson junior, took a few warm-up laps on Jayhawk Boulevard yesterday. The KU Cycling Club is preparing for an inter-collegiate race that will take place May 1 on campus. "The race will start here on Jayhawk and go around campus and down Memorial Drive," Spencer said.

freshman Brittany Brown defeated Hayley Mclver and Emily Mickelson, 8-3.
Kansas' play remained as solid in singles action as it had been in doubles. Haylock won her match over Jessica Simosa in a tough three set affair, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. Skoda also went the distance with her opponent, Paulina Castilejos, winning 7-5, 6-7 (7-5), 6-1. Brown and Filberth both won their matches, 6-2, 6-2, and 6-2, respectively. For Filberth, it was her first career singles victory as a Jayhawk.
"I am so happy with this victory," coach Amy Hall said. "We played hard in every single match like we needed to."
Hall was critical of her team over the weekend after the loss to Texas Tech. She eluded to the fact that the Tech players wanted the match more than her own.
"I honestly feel like we are coming around and playing like the type of team that I know we are." Hall added.
Next for Kansas is a date with No. 48 Colorado at noon this Saturday in Boulder.

SOFTBALL
Kansas softball splits games against Bradley
"That's a ball," is a cheer the Kansas softball team yells whenever the opposing pitcher hurls a ball.
If team members yelled that every time their pitcher threw one outside of the strike zone, they would have been hoarse by the end of game one.
Kansas and Bradley University met for a double-header yesterday.
Bradley won game one 6-4,
while Kansas took game two 2-1
In game one, Kansas led 4-0 going into the top of the seventh inning. Kansas coach Tracy Bunge chose this moment to insert sophomore Serena Settemier at pitcher.
Settlemier, who is in the midst of rehab after a painful arm surgery, gave up four runs, on one hit. Pierce, who had started the game, returned to close. Bradlev
scored six in the seventh.
scored sk in the soccer field After the game, Bunge admitted she had made a mistake.
"I told my team after the first game, that first loss is bad coaching," she said.
Scheduled to start game two was freshman Kassie Humphreys. She was unable to start, because of back spasms in pregame warmups. Pierce stepped up and pitched all of game two.
The Jayhawks drove in one run in the first and added another in the second. Bradley's run came in the fifth.
Kansas was led by sophomore shortstop Destiny Frankenstein. She went 3-6, combined, and recorded an RBI.
Kansas will be in Oregon for four games before playing Baylor on March 27-28.

Jayhawks to play Flames
Kansas to enjoy Kemper for first round of tourney
By Ryan Greene
rgreene@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The oohs and aahs flowed freely last night at Kemper Arena as the Jayhawks concluded their practice with an impromptu slam-dunk contest.
A couple thousand fans showed up to watch what turned out to be a glorified shoot around as Kansas (21-8 overall, 12-4 Big 12 Conference) had its final practice session before tonight's first-round matchup with Illinois-Chicago (24-7 Overall, 12-4 Horizon League).
The home-court feel of Kemper Arena was apparent as Jayhawk fans made their way to watch the open practice.
Despite the typical Fieldhouse traditions the fans will bring to Kemper, the players and coaches continue to downplay the importance of Kansas City's proximity.
"UIC doesn't care that we're playing in Kemper," junior guard Keith Langford said. "If we were playing
across the street in the playground, we'd still have to do what it takes to win."
Analysts all over the country are talking about how dangerous the No. 13 seeds are in this year's tournament, and the Flames are no exception. The game will not only test how Kansas will react to last Saturday's loss to Texas in the Big 12 Tournament semifinals, but the game will also be an attempt to erase the memories of first-round struggles in recent years for the Jayhawks.
In 2002, No. 1 seed Kansas barely edged No. 16 seed Holy Cross. Then, last season, the Jayhawks staved off a furious late-game run by 15th-seeded Utah State to advance and face Arizona State.
The UIC squad Kansas will square off against tonight is more talented than either of the teams that have given the Jayhawks fits the last two years. Just as Kansas' veteran leadership will be key, it will be just as important for UIC, who starts four seniors.
The duo Kansas will have to zone in on defensively will be senior guards

'Kansan' reveals St. Louis picks
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan Sportwriter
St. Louis Region
1 Kentucky (26-4) vs. #16 Florida
A&M (15-16)
As the only team in the NCAA Tournament with a losing record, Florida A&M can at least take solace in having won the play-in game against Lehigh Tuesday night. The only player worth watching is shooting guard Terrence Woods, who averages 20.4 points per game and as consistent as they come from three-point range. However, Kentucky's a lock here. The Wildcats are not explosive, but they are a veteran squad with a solid starting five. Even if they are an overrated No.1 seed, they'll have no problems in round one. Prediction — Kentucky 96, FAMU 48
8 Washington (19-11) vs. #9 UAB
(20-9)
In a down year for the Pac-10 Conference, Washington finished second in the regular season and made some major noise. The loudest of all was its three victories against conference-powerhouse Arizona. The Huskies also handed Stanford its only loss of the season. What makes Washington scary is its youth and athleticism. The Huskies start four sophomores, led by diminutive guard

Allen Fieldhouse renovations planned
By Joe Bant
jbant@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For many University of Kansas basketball fans, the name Allen Fieldhouse is synonymous with basketball greatness.
Widely regarded as one of the toughest places in America for an opposing team to play, the men's basketball team has only lost 17 games there in the last 15 years.
But at only one year shy of its 50th anniversary, problems lurk beneath the Fieldhouse's larger-than-life exterior. Its roof and windows leak. It has no air conditioning. The bathrooms and locker room facilities are outdated. The lighting is inadequate, and there's a multitude of other issues that need to be addressed, said Ron Penry, facilities supervisor.
HAWKS
in Fieldhouse
KU
Following the NCAA tournament, the Athletics Department will address some of these issues with the help of a $12 million donation it received earlier this year. Twelve million dollars may seem like a lot of money, but Penry said it may go faster than people think.
"You could probably write a list as long as your arm and still not cover all the things that could be done," Penry said.
A nearly 20-foot tall Jayhawk was added onto the center court of Allen Fieldhouse last semester. The Jayhawk returned as the logo for the first time since the days of Larry Brown, who left after the 1988 championship season.

Leawood junior Kevin Ward has become a leader of the men's golf team. His achievements include nabbing an individual championship at the Louisiana Classics Invitational March 9. Ward says taking one event makes him want to win even more.
KU golfer consistent in victory
By Eric Sorrentino
esorrentino@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
In the past two weeks, Kansas took first place in the Roadrunner Intercollegiate Tournament in San Antonio on March 2, in addition to taking second place in the Louisiana Classics Invitational on March 9.
In Louisiana, the Jayhawks' tournament was highlighted by a final round 66 and individual champion honors by Kevin Ward, who is leading KU to a successful spring season. This is not the first time the junior had an eye-opening performance this spring.
His play in San Antonio was capped off with a back-nine score of 29 in the final round. The Jayhawks ended up winning the tournament.
"Everything kind of came together at once," Ward said of his performance in Louisiana. "And that amounted to a nice final of 66, which vaults you past so many guys, especially when the conditions are tough."
This type of perseverance details KU's experience and confidence on the golf course with respect to each tournament. The Jayhawks have only lost one player from last year's team. Since then, Ward has seen his golf game elevate.
With victories come many circumstances of hitting clutch shots during pressure situations. In golf, focus and consistency are crucial elements to the success of one's game. The mental approach to the game is considered to be one of the most difficult concepts to obtain.
"It's good to get the win, but at the same time, I need to move on from it, and try to go get another one," Ward said. "Once you chase it, you just want more."
Ward redshirted the 2000-2001 season while attending Wichita State University. He competed in 20 events in his collegiate career at Kansas. His threeround total of 210 (6 under par) in Louisiana is his career best as a Jayhawk.
"He's practiced and played a great deal and is dedicated at playing his game," coach Ross Randall said. "He has really become a leader of the team in that he's really working hard and encouraging the other guys to get better as well."
Ward describes his approach as being extremely consistent. He elects what club he will hit from every tee box before the round even begins.
However, Ward refuses to rest on the individual victory he picked up at the Louisiana Classics Invitational.
"The biggest thing with the routine is to keep it the same every time." Ward said. "I've been using visualization with my approach lately, seeing the shot before I hit it."

Yellow Jackets outlast Jayhawks
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansans sportswriter
ST. LOUIS — Any loss in the NCAA Tournament is hard to take for a college basketball player. But the trauma of Kansas '79-71 overtime loss to Georgia Tech in the Regional Semifinal was evident when the team's most vocal member, freshman guard J.R. Giddens, was nearly rattled speechless.
Giddens was on top of the world after hitting a game-tying three-pointer with 16.2 seconds left in regulation. But he was left to think of what could have been as he sat with empty eyes, holding back tears in front of his locker amidst the throngs of media crowding him.
"I don't even know what to say," Giddens said. "In overtime, obviously they wanted it more than us. We're going to come back and work hard next year. Now we just look forward to next year and finish watching as a spectator."
The Kansas team that showed up to play yesterday nowhere near resembled the squad that dominated Alabama-Birmingham from start to finish just two days earlier. Instead of duplicating their blistering 12-for-17 start from the floor in Friday's victory, the sluggish Jayhawks began yesterday's game just 5-for-23.
Despite early offensive struggles, Kansas was able to hang tight on

In the first half, those answers were supplied by the inside-outside combination of guard Jarrett Jack and forward Clarence Moore. The duo combined for 23 of Georgia Tech's 36 first half points. Their offensive prowess and Kansas' struggles gave the Yellow Jackets a 36-31 advantage at halftime.

Outside bars such as Fatso's and The Granada in the 1000 block of Massachusetts Street, fans huddled in small groups.

That sums up the sentiment of the Jayhawk faithful after yesterday's devastating loss to Georgia Tech.
Before the game, both students and alumni were confident about the prospect of a third Final Four appearance in three years.
"Three years in a row? No doubt," said Alicia Erickson, KU alumna and Lawrence resident. "Self's going to deliver what Roy never did."

The court ruled earlier this month that because the provisions of the state's Liquor Control Act — which contains the ban on Sunday sales — do not apply uniformly to all municipalities, cities have home-rule authority to exempt themselves from the statute.
Vratil said Sunday sales and increased liquor taxes, both of which were removed from a bill the Senateniformity bill comes back to the Senate floor.
"A large majority feel uniformity of the Liquor Control Act is necessary," said Sen. John Vratil (R-Leawood). He said the court ruling makes it even more urgent that the Legislature act on the measure.

The Senate this week is expected to take another look at a bill to make the state's Liquor Control Act uniform.
Citing the court ruling, lawmakers say it's important to attain uniformity before cities try to opt out of other provisions of the state law, such as the legal drinking age, which is 21.

'Crossfire'co-host to speak
Speaker will touch on topics of war, upcoming elections

Carville
as part of the 2004 Student Lecture series presented by Student Senate and Student Union Activities. Tickets for students are $7.
Sean Pauzauskie, Topeka senior and SUA representative, said Carville is diverse and entertaining and will be an informative and exciting speaker.
People might know Carville most for his position as the co-host of CNN's news talk show Crossfire, his cameo in the Dreamworks SKG college comedy Old School with Will Ferrell or for his success as a political strategist.
His first major political victory came in the 1986 Pennsylvania gubernatorial race.
He then found continued success with the back-to-back presidential elections with Bill Clinton as his campaign manager.
"He orchestrated and had an amazing success with that," Pauzauskie said.
During his talk, Carville will cover topics ranging from the upcoming election to the War on Terror and misunderstandings between political parties, Pauzauskie said.

"He values winning and taking a stand," said Burdett Loomis, professor and chairman of the political science department. "He sees worth in defining issues in ways that help his candidate."
Speakers for this event in the past have ranged from Archbishop Desmond Tutu to Gloria Steinem to Ralph Nader.
This year, before obtaining a commitment from Carville, SUA courted independent filmmaker and political independent Michael Moore.

Former KU student pleads not guilty to arson charges
The Associated Press
OLATHE — A former KU student suspected of setting 15 fires in Johnson and Douglas counties before driving to California pleaded not guilty Friday to two arson charges.
David Ryan Jay, 23, of Olathe, is being charged in John s o n County District Court with one count of aggravated arson and one count of arson. Jay also

could face a federal charge for the March 8 fire at Watson Library, said Paul Morrison, Johnson County district attorney.
Iav returned from California to
Olathe on Thursday with the Johnson County sheriff. At his first court appearance Friday, Jay appeared via video. His attorney, Alex McCauley, entered a not guilty plea on Jay's behalf; Jay was not required to speak during the brief hearing.
Jay
District Judge John Anderson III scheduled Jay's next court appearance for April 1. Jay is being held on $1 million bond.
Investigators said the fires stopped about the time Jay abandoned his apartment and headed west.
One of the two fires in which he is charged occurred in the clubhouse of the apartment complex where he lived. The other fire he is charged with setting was at a 144-unit assisted-living center that was being built in Olathe. Investigators say a similar accelerant was used at all of the fires.
None of the fires caused serious injury, though they have resulted in more than $8 million in damage.
Morrison said Jay had been a "lower priority suspect" before turning himself in to authorities in the San Bernardino County town of Fontana.
Olathe Fire Marshal Kent Harris said Jay did not look like the man pictured in a composite sketch released after the Watson Library fire.
Jay attended the University in Summer 1998 until Spring 2001, Morrison said.
Fontana authorities knew nothing about the Kansas fires, but Jay provided enough information that police there contacted Johnson County officials, Morrison said.
Morrison suspected Jay may have believed he eventually would have been caught anyway.
Blended ethnicity a natural fit for Arab-Hispanic sophomore

"I've never met anyone else with my background, but it's not weird to me," Kadhim said.

The Colorado Springs, Colo., sophomore said it took five months for her roommate to figure out she was of Arab and Hispanic descent.
Since she cam to college, Kadhim has joined the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, or HALO. She said the organization has connected her to people with a common background and helped her make friends. Melinda Benavidez said she wanted to learn more about Kadhim's background when she met

Kadhim's mother is of Mexican descent and her father moved from Iraq when he was a teenager. She said many people have been surprised by her unusual dual ethnicity. Kadhim is able to bring a unique cultural perspective to her
her. Benavidez, treasurer for HALO, said the organization embraced everyone with interest in Hispanic culture even if they weren't fully Hispanic.
Kadhim said she wanted to learn more about the Arab culture
by exploring Arab organizations at the University. She wants to take advantage of Arabic language classes while she is in college.
"I got mad at my dad because he never taught me Arabic," she said.
Kadhim has never met anyone from her father's family. Someday she wants to meet her father's family in Baghdad but has to wait until it is safer to visit. Kadhim said when the war in Iraq began it was difficult to think she might lose family that she had never met.
At Kadhim's high school, there were not many Arab or Hispanic students. Now in college, she has more resources to explore her cultural background. She said she hasn't received any ridiculous questions or ignorant comments in college. In high school she met people who mistook Iraqi for Iroquois or asked if she ate camel.
Instead, people are interested in learning about her heritage. She said her dual cultural background is a natural part of who she is. She has never felt like she had to pick a side of her ethnicity to identify with. Her mother, Sandra, said her children have always
felt strong about who they are.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Should Bush ads use 9/11 imagery? Exploiting crisis Intent was misread
Possibly the most tragic day of our lifetime was the most advantageous day of President Bush's political life.
Now, images of that day, September 11,2001, are appearing in President Bush's campaign advertisements. This is evidence of what many have suspected all along: Those terrorists attacks will be ground zero of Bush's re-election campaign.
The commercials show wreckage of the World Trade Center and flag-draped remains being removed from the scene.
Bush's tragedy-laden campaign tactics are terrific politics but horrific ethics. Gaining politically from the rally-around-the-flag mentality of the nation was a blessing bestowed on Bush luckily but not unjustly. However, Bush exploiting the tragedy for political gain in such an overt manner as mixing images from the day in with commercials for Pepsi and Viagra is a temptation he should reject.
September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, an organized advocacy group composed of victims' families, agrees as do other families not affiliated with the group. "President Bush promised in a speech he gave in 2002 that he would not use the site for political reasons," said Rita Lasar, who lost her brother in the attacks. "We believed him. We trusted him. He has broken his promise to us. To say that we're outraged is the truth."
Defenders of the advertisements say President Bush has a right to tout his
leadership. They also say the subject of the terrorist attacks is unavoidable. They are right on both accounts. The attacks can not be ignored in politics because we need to learn why they happened and how we can stop them from happening again. The attacks should not be ignored by society because we need to honor the victims in a dignified manner.
Bush should be free to say he showed leadership and should honor the victims with appropriate methods. But Bush's tawdry 30-second spots accomplish neither of these goals. Showing pictures of wreckage and dead bodies in a "vote for me" format shows utter disregard for the unity those images inspired in our leaders in 2001. In 2004, our leaders should again be inspired by the images, not campaign with them.

E-mail suggestions to opinion@kansan.com.
Shortly after the Super Tuesday primaries on March 2, the first wave of President Bush's campaign ads aired. Immediately the story was not the ads themselves. The story was the supposed controversy generated by the ads because they showed images of the Sept.11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
None of the images used had the intent of showcasing the event or taking advantage of the victims' families. No planes slamming into the World Trade Center. No bodies jumping out of the buildings to escape. Instead, they reflect the resolve and courage that strengthened Americans during that tragic day.
One ad, entitled "Tested," shows an American flag waving with a scene of the aftermath in the background. Its message is uplifting and positive, not a "slap in the face" to
the victims. "Some challenges we've seen before, and some were like no others," the voiceover says. "But America rose to the challenge."
Another ad, entitled "Safer, Stronger," drew ire for briefly showing firefighters carrying a stretcher shrouded in an American flag. It is a tribute to the heroism of brave men and women who worked tirelessly at Ground Zero, but families have their reasons why they don't see it that way.
The families denouncing the ads have been the focus. But it is doing a disservice to discount the families who find Bush's ads appropriate.
"These images honor those whose lives were lost," Debra Burlingame said. Her brother, Charles, was one of the pilots of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon.
The ads are "a perfect

reminder of what happened that day," Deena Burnett said. Her husband, Tom, was on the plane that crashed into a field in Pennsylvania.
Zach Newton for The University Daily Kansas
The issue is indeed sensitive and it spurs a wave of emotions. But for President Bush not to mention Sept. 11 would be unwise and would give the appearance of skirting the issue. With the recent attacks in Spain, Bush's messages are needed all the more.

'Ragin' Cajun' Carville at Lied tonight; Politics of both sides will be of issue
STUDENT UNION ACTIVITIES
James Carville is the foremost political strategist of our time.
Beginning with a come-from-beind gubernatorial victory for Robert Casey in Pennsylvania in 1986 and culminating in the consecutive elections of Bill Clinton, Carville has since influenced politics worldwide as a chief adviser for leaders from Ehud Barak, former prime minister of Israel, to Tony Blair, prime minister of Great Britain.
Not only has Carville made a name for himself on the international political stage, but he has become a popular movie and television personality, appearing (debating, actually) Will Ferrell in the movie Old School, as well as serving as a correspondent for television programs, ranging from CNN's Crossfire to NBC's Sunday Morning Meet the Press.

Tonight, Carville will speak in the Lied Center for Student Union Activities and Student Senate's annual Student Lecture Series. Tickets are $7 with a KUID and $13 without. For more information call 864-SHOW.
In addition to extensive political and strategic knowledge, Carville has personality. He has earned the name the "Ragin' Cajun" for his plainspoken, often non-partisan (though he is an unapologetic Democrat) and fierv wit
"In the Clinton administration we were afraid the president would open his zipper; in the Bush administration they are afraid the president will open his mouth." Carville once said, pointing out the concerns of the past and current presidential administration.
Carville will be of interest to anyone concerned with learning more about either political party.
Carville's wife, Mary Matalin, serves as a chief Grand Old Party adviser, which only adds to his partisan/nonpartisan personal dualism.

ScooterHawks gains momentum
Scooter owners come together to have fun and voice their concerns
Joyful
Patti Yager, Marysville first-year pharmacy student, carried on the ScooterHawk tradition after the founder graduated. Yager is now the president of ScooterHawks.

"Hey, it's scooter girl," is the first thing Patti Yager usually hears when she runs into casual friends.
Her red scooter, a Chinese model that she bought off the Internet for $600, doesn't define her, but it makes her more noticeable, she said. Other scooter owners now have a way to be noticed together. Yager, a first-year pharmacy student from Marysville, is president of a group called ScooterHawks.
ScooterHawks is an organization that tries to "work to promote the rights of scooter owners at the university and city level," as stated on the group's Web site. It started last July as a way for scooter owners and enthusiasts to come together for fun and scooter solidarity. Yager said she and six others were at the first meeting. Now, the group's list server has 30 members.
Members of ScooterHawks will soon begin to plan the group's biggest event, a scooter rally held in the fall. The idea for a scooter rally gave Luke Middleton and his scooter-owning friends a cause to start ScooterHawks. Middleton, research assistant for the Policy Research Institute, helped start the organization last summer.
At last year's rally, scooter owners gathered at Buford M. Watson Park on Seventh and Tennessee streets to display and talk about their scooters, and enjoy one another's company. The rally ended with the group riding its scooters down Massachusetts Street together. Yager and Middleton said that last year the group of 25 scooter drivers received anything from funny looks to yells from onlookers.
"There were five guys on Harleys that saw us drive by," she said. "They didn't seem too impressed."

In addition to planning tapes and group rides, Yager said the group had also been working with city officials to deal with scooter related issues such as theft.
Inconsistencies and confusion with laws are also concerns for the group.
Yager said some police officers told scooter owners they could park in a certain place, while other officers ticketed scooters in the same spot. A police officer once pulled over a scooter rider for wearing sandals while riding, even though it is not illegal to do so, she said.
ScooterHawks' biggest concern is parking downtown. Middleton said the group was working to get a resolution to the city commission to create more spaces for scooter parking. It is illegal to park scooters on sidewalks, and there are only a few designated scooter and mo-ped parking spots behind downtown stores.
Middleton and Yager said using an entire car parking space for a scooter was impractical and wasteful.
City Commissioner Mike Rundle said the commission was still in the early information-gathering stages. He said he was working with the city manager to find little-used parkingareas.Now the city is assessing the specific needs of the ScooterHawks and other scooter riders in order to find a solution.
Other than the inconvenience of parking downtown, Yager said scooters were a cheap and convenient way to get around town and campus. Yager said the University had a scooter-friendly campus. Scooter owners can drive on campus and park in bike racks.
Middleton bought his scooter because he didn't have enough money for a car and thought a scooter would be more convenient for small-town Lawrence traffic.
Yager and Middleton said most scooter owners didn't just ride scooters for convenience, but grow to love or obsess over them. Even though Yager has what she calls a "particularly crappy kind of scooter," she still loves it. She
affectionately calls it her "piggie because it's not quite a hog.
"But I have a Harley sticker on the back," she said: "I thought it would be funny."
Members of the scooter subculture notice one another. Middleton said if you saw two scooter owners meet, you would soon find them talking about their scooters or riding in the cold weather.

half, and scored just four points off of free throws. The duo rebounded to score 10 points in the first seven minutes of the second half, and keyed an 8-0 run that gave Kansas its first lead with 12:59 remaining at 43-42.
Just as the Yellow Jackets did in the first half, they responded again, with five quick points from Will Bynum and Clarence Moore.
The two teams battled back and forth, but when senior Jeff Graves missed two free
throws with three minutes remaining and Kansas trailing 65-58, the outlook for the Jayhawks turned bleak. Langford scored five clutch points and along with Giddens' threepointer and two Georgia Tech missed free throws, sent the game to overtime.
Kansas jumped ahead 68-66 in overtime, but everything fell downhill after Langford fouled out with 3:44 left. His backup, junior Michael Lee, fouled out with 46 seconds remaining and Kansas trailing

by three. Bill Self was forced to dig deep into his bench, and the combination of an exhausted Aaron Miles and Georgia Tech's deadliness from the free-throw line, gave the deeper team the victory.
For the third straight season, the Jayhawks were stopped shy of a National Championship and were forced to put a devastating loss into perspective.

"All the stuff we've been through this year, stuff on the court, off the court, and stuff you've never seen or heard about — when you add all that up and take that into perspective to where we took it and how we spun a lot of negatives into positives, you have to smile," Lee said. "Life's not easy, everything's not fair. Struggle helps you appreciate the good times much more. I don't regret anything about this season. I'd rather be in a position of losing with this team than winning with another team."
The loss ends what has been an up-and-down first season in Lawrence for coach Bill Self, but it included plenty of positives. Self was able to squeeze as much as possible out of a gang of players he did not recruit and battle key injuries down the season's stretch. While the season gives Kansas fans a glimmer of hope towards a long and successful tenure for Self, it was the culmination of the careers for three Jayhawks — Jeff Graves, Bryant Nash and Brett Olson.

Nash played one minute in overtime, while Olson was forced to sit in the stands in street clothes with sophomore Steven Vinson because Kansas could only have 14 players suited and on the bench. Graves saw

more highs and lows than anyone on the team but said he was proud of what he has accomplished over his two seasons as a lajvawk.
For the next eight months, the offseason will be filled with many questions and frustrations. For starters, there is the question of whether Simien's 11-point, 11-rebound performance will lead him to enter the NBA draft or to come back for his senior season as he has indicated he will. There will be months of rehabilitation for Langford (knee) and Giddens (foot), who will both undergo surgery to repair nagging injuries.
"For the team, I think it's been a great learning experience. These guys played hurt, and you guys don't know how hurt they," Self said. "Personally, it's been a whirlwind for me for about the last year. I didn't want it to end this weekend, but I know I was certainly looking forward to next Tuesday."
Two 'Hawks Honored - Kansas juniors Wayne Simien and Aaron Miles were both named to the St. Louis Regional All-Tournament Team. The Regional's Most Outstanding Player Award went to Georgia Tech's Jarrett Jack. Other members of the team were Nevada's Kirk Snyder and Georgia Tech's Clarence Moore.

REACTION: Fans reflect on loss, look to next year

Erickson, along with her friends, said they wanted to see if Kansas could take it all the way in the NCAA Tournament.
"We've been waiting for this year," Erickson said. "We've got to hang around until it happens."
But that hope was once again shot down by a Georgia Tech surge to end the game.
But it didn't. J.R. Giddens' three-pointer to send the game into overtime ignited the crowd at Buffalo Wild Wings, 1012 Massachusetts St. Students wearing Giddens jerseys stood on chairs as hope was injected into the sea of crimson and blue.
After the game, confidence was depleted and asense of disappointment engulfed Kansas fans.
Justin Rush, Ellsworth senior, said that the feeling stemmed from Jayhawk fans getting accustomed to annual Final Four appearances.
"I love to be spoiled, I mean, I'm honored to have a Final Four team back-to-back years," Rush said.
"It's just that now, losing is hard to take."
"What do I think about it? It was crap," said Laurel Suminski, KU alumna.
Suminski and her friends drove from Kansas City, Mo., hoping for a Jayhawk victory. What they got was a heartbreaking loss.
Suminski said she was proud of the way the 'Hawks played the whole season, given the circumstances.
"Considering everything we did last year, and with a first-year head coach, we did well," Suminski said. "You can't be ashamed of that."
On an empty Massachusetts Street, Jayhawk fans walked solemnly back to their vehicles.
But inside every Kansas basketball fan, thoughts of the future remained strong, said Adam Lohoeffener. Oberlin senior.
"The season was great, and you can't win them all." Looefeeen said. "All I can say is: Get ready next year."

Foul ends Langford's season
NCAA
Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan
Keith Langford, junior guard, fouled out during the final minutes of the game yesterday afternoon. "I think it was a horrible call," he said. "It was disappointing because my season ended that way last year."
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
ST. LOUIS, Mo. — Roughly 20,000 Kansas fans were in attendance to see the Jayhawks' Regional Final loss to Georgia Tech yesterday. And, from the sound of things, nearly every one of those 20,000 was just as angry as junior guard Keith Langford following his fifth and final foul with 3:44 remaining in overtime.
Langford was called for an offensive foul after pushing off on Georgia Tech's Isma'il Muhammad.
The foul could have gone either way, but Langford did not believe the whistle should have been blown in a game so close.
"I think it was a horrible call," Langford said. "It was disappointing because my season ended that way last year. And it's very unfortunate that the referee eight feet from the play called the foul rather than the ref that was right there on top of me. In big games down the stretch, I always thought you should let the players decide."
Langford's fifth foul and the waves of boos from the Kansas faithful in attendance at the Edward Jones Dome overshadowed one of the gutsiest performances of his life. Langford was playing once again on a bad right knee with torn cartilage, and his explosiveness in the opening minutes was limited.
He struggled mightily in the first half, going 0-for-4 from the field and scoring just two points from the free-throw line.
However, just as in last year's National Championship loss to Syracuse, Langford was forced to watch the final minutes next to his teammates on the bench.
Langford helped keep Kansas close in the second half, finishing the game with 15 points, three rebounds and four steals.
"I honestly feel if the refs let teams play, the outcome would be totally different," Langford said. "I just hate fouling out that way. There were times when I fouled and it actually was a foul. At that point in time in the game it was brutal."
"That was a big play," coach Bill Self said. "I'd have to watch it on film to know whether it is good or bad, but certainly from our perspective, it looked marginal."
Self was forced to play little-used freshman guard Jeremy Case after Michael Lee picked up his fifth foul with less than a minute remaining. The
referees then dealt the Jayhawks another blow, when Aaron Miles tried to draw a foul late in the game. Instead, he was called for a travel when he fell to the floor.
As a result of the calls in overtime, the Yellow Jackets hit 8 of 10 free throw attempts to punch their tickets
to San Antonio for next weekend's Final Four.
Even as the Jayhawks watched the Yellow Jackets sink what seemed like an endless amount of free throws in the overtime period, it was apparent that the team had a major chunk of its heart removed when Langford left the floor
for the final time this season.
"I'm not going to say anything about that offensive foul, but I think that hurt us," freshman guard J.R. Giddens said. "We need him so much. Crap happens."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Coach brings winning record
By Jesse Newell

Kansan sportswriter
Bonnie Henrickson, women's basketball coach at Virginia Tech for the past seven years, will be announced as the new Kansas women's basketball coach at a news conference today.
Henrickson will replace Hall-of-Fame coach Marian Washington, who retired on Feb. 27 because of medical reasons after 31 years of coaching at the University.
The 40-year-old Henrickson has enjoyed great success

coaching the Hokies. In her seven seasons, Virginia Tech posted a 158-62 record, winning at least 20 games each season. Her teams have reached the postseason in each of her seven years, playing in the NCAA Tournament five times and the National Invitational Tournament twice.
Her Virginia Tech squad finished at 23-8 this season, losing last week to No.1 seed Penn State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Kansas could use a quick turnaround after a disappointing 2003-2004 season.
The Jayhawks won just nine games and finished last in the Big 12 with a 2-14 conference record. Henrickson was an assistant for 12 years at four different colleges — St. Cloud State, Western Illinois, Virginia Tech and Iowa — before signing on as of coach of Virginia Tech in 1997. She garnered three all-conference honors as a player at St. Cloud State, helping her team to a 97-25 record during her four years.
Lew Perkins, Kansas athletics director, often crossed paths with Henrickson while serving as the athletic director for Connecticut. The two met about the job opening in St. Louis Thursday, waiting until the end of the Virginia Tech season before even discussing the position.
Henrickson agreed to a five-year contract with the lawhawks.

Team thankful for support after loss
KANSAS
By Anna Clovis aclovis@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A season-ending loss didn't keep more than 500 University of Kansas men's basketball fans from crowding into the lower tier of Allen Fieldhouse to see the team one last time.
Aaron Miles, junior guard, thanked fans for their support last night in Allen Fieldhouse after the basketball team returned from St. Louis. More than 500 fans showed up to welcome home the team.
The fans, who started cheering and clapping as soon as the team's bus arrived at 10:20 pm, waited to welcome the players and coaches. The team shuffled in, tired from the four-hour drive from St. Louis, but the atmosphere in the Fieldhouse lifted their spirits.
"We come back home down and everything, and then we come back and you're here to greet us," Coach Bill Self said. "That's what makes this place special."
Menan True/Kansas
Fans waited for more than an hour for the team's arrival. Music and T-shirt tosses kept the fans entertained during the wait. While some fans were stinging from the loss, most were proud of the team's accomplishments.
Mony Ratterson, Lawrence junior, said she thought this year would be a repeat of 1988, the last year the Jayhawks won the National Championship, but was still impressed at how far the team had gone.
"You have to give them a pick-up year after losing a coach and two good players." she said.

resemblance to the Cosby Show character — came to the Fieldhouse last year after the team's loss in the National Championship game. She said that she came this year because it was the last time she would see the team together.
Mike Mulneron came to the Fieldhouse because of an obligation he felt to the team.
"They did so much over the season, it's our duty to come here and support them," the Grosse Point, Mich., sophomore said.
The fans ranged in age from 2 years old to 86 years old. Some of the younger fans were Jeffrey and Aimee Moses from Eudora. Jeffrey, 9, and Aimee, 7, made signs for the players and said they hoped to get autographs from their favorite players -Jeff Graves and Aaron Miles.
Jeffrey said he was sad about the loss, but was excited to see the team in person for the first time.
Older fans also gathered to greet the team. Donna Collins, a long time season ticket holder, said she drove from Overland Park because she never missed a game. Lauren Miller, Lawrence junior, was still upset about the officiating in the game. She said she was disappointed
about the game but looked forward to next season. Kondja Kamatuka, Lawrence junior, joined in Miller's anticipation for a chance to see what might happen next year.
"It stinks we have to wait so long for next season," she said.
Wayne Simien, Kansas junior forward, said the team appreciated the fans being there.
"This is a great feeling after a long ride home."

Pitcher may earn position with Royals
The Associated Press
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Shawn Camp came into the Kansas City Royals spring training as an unheralded, non-roster invite with little chance to make the club.
Camp, however, has pitched so well that he may camp with a spot in the Royals' bullpen.
"I'm just kind of coming out of the woods and hopefully I'll be noticed," Camp said.
In eight games, Camp is 2-0 with one save and a 2.38 earned run average, while walking only one and striking out nine in 111/3 innings.
Camp, 28, has a 25-20 record with a 3.57 ERA in seven minor league seasons
after the San Diego Padres drafted him in the 16th round in 1997 out of George Mason University.
Camp was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates in July, 2001 and has spent the past 21/2 seasons pitching for its Class AAA Nashville and Class AA Altoona clubs.
He was in the Pirates' big league camp last spring but not for long.
"I was among the first cuts," Camp said. "I only threw in two games."
Camp became a minor league free agent after the 2003 season and Jin Wong, the Royals director of baseball operations who was a teammate of Camp in a Virginia high school summer league in the mid-1990s, called him.
it took only two days for me to make my decision." Camp said, "I heard a lot of
good things about the Royals. The bond here is something."
Camp is getting a longlook in the Royals' camp and is making a favorable impression.
He has always thrown a good sinker but has shown a slider in spring training that he will need to consistently throw for strikes to keep Major League hitters off balance.
"This kid has pitched well the whole spring." Royals manager Tony Pena said.
In a three-inning scoreless performance Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers, he allowed just one hit and struck out three.
"He had good movement on his fast ball and a good slider," Pena said. "That's the best slider I've seen him have the
whole spring. It was very sharp. It came out of nowhere."
Camp said his slider wasn't as effective earlier in the season.
"It was probably noticeable to hitters and I wasn't able to throw it for strikes," he said. "Now I'm able to throw it behind in the count."
Camp also lost 20 pounds in the offseason, going from 215 to 195, and arrived in great shape.
"Hopefully when the decision is made, I'll be able to go north," Camp said with the Major League club. "Hopefully, I've made a good impression in spring training. If I do go to Omaha (the Royals' Class AAA club), I'll do my best there and hopefully help this team out in the year."
Australian wins Players Championship with bogey putt on 18
The Associated Press
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The guy who swings like Tiger Woods nearly finished like Greg Norman.
Ultimately, all that mattered to Adam Scott yesterday was making a 10-foot bogey putt on the final hole to win The Players Championship, making the 23-year-old Australian the youngest champion of golf's richest tournament.
Scott turned a command performance into a comedy on the treacherous 18th hole at Sawgrass.
from the middle of the fairway, with a two-shot lead, he pulled his approach into the water and looked as if he had thrown it all away.
Needing to make bogey to avoid a playoff with Padraig Harrington, Scott finished with a putt that was true from the time it left his blade. Scott thrust his fist into the air twice, and threw his cap down in relief.
He closed with a 2-under 70, winning $1.44 million from the record $8 million purse.
"Just one of those things that always seems to happen at this place," Scott said. "In the end, it's a chip and a putt away. Maybe that chipping lesson I got this week paid off in the end."
The lesson came from Norman, his idol, who won The Players Championship in record fashion 10 years ago but is known for some ugly collapses in the majors.
The final hole overshadowed an otherwise brilliant performance, as Scott attacked early to build a five-shot lead, made some clutch chips as the lead was dwindling, then made the most important putt of his career.
Scott finished at 12-under 276,and his perks include a five-year exemption on the PGA Tour and a three-year pass to the Masters.
Harrington was not even a factor for most of the warm, sunny day on the TPC at Sawgrass.
All that changed when he tied the back-nine record with a 30, including a birdie-birdie-eagle stretch on his way to a 66.
Kenny Perry and Phil Mickelson each
closed with a 71, and Frank Lickliter had a 72 to tie for third at 280.
The other big winner yesterday was John Daly. Despite closing with an 80 to finish near the bottom of the pack, he got into the Masters by finishing in the top 10 on the PGA Tour money list.
Daly would have been out had Perry finished alone in second, and it appeared that might happen until Harrington made his late surge and Perry faltered.
Jay Haas, a runner-up last year and still going strong at age 50, went birdie-birdie-eagle around the turn and never let up until he was done with a 66. His finish assured him a spot in the field next year.Scott soaked up a big victory in
golf's fifth major.
He won for the second time on the PGA Tour, and sixth time worldwide.
Not only does he swing the club like Woods, he knows how to win from in front.
The young Aussie is 6-1 when he has at least a share of the 54-hole lead.
And while it wasn't pretty at the end, everyone is starting to predict a big future for Scott.
"I think he's technically better than Tiger Woods was at 23," Norman said. "He needs a bit of confidence, a couple of victories under his belt, and he can be doing what Tiger has done in the last three, four, five years. I really believe that. He can eclipse all of us, I guess."

MEN'S BASKETBALL
PHOENIX — That powerhouse Connecticut team everyone talked about six months ago is two wins from living up to expectations.
Ben Gordon scored 36 points
Ben Gordon scored 36 points — one shy of his career high — and Rashad Anderson added a career-best 28 — in the Huskies' 87-71 victory over the Crimson Tide on Saturday in the Phoenix Regional final.
Second-seeded UConn (31-6) used a 17-4 outburst over the final five minutes of the first half to go up 53-29 and 'Bama never got closer than 14 after that.
Connecticut's All-America center Emeka Okafor played only 19 minutes and scored just two points, but had nine rebounds and blocked five shots, all in the first half. He hurt his right shoulder on a hard foul by Alabama's Jermareo Davidson with 9:19 left in the first half.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. —
St. Joe's winning streak crushed by Oklahoma
The joyride is over for Jameer Nelson and Saint Joseph's — John Lucas and his Oklahoma State teammates are the ones going to the Final Four.
In an NCAA tournament marked by late misses, Nelson's fadeaway jumper ticked off the rim right before the buzzer and Oklahoma State held on in a 64-62 thriller Saturday night to win the East Rutherford Regional
Coach Eddie Sutton and Oklahoma State (31-3) thought they deserved to be a top seed more than Saint Joseph's (30-2) — a view held by many people and given voice by CBS analyst Billy Packer.
The Cowboys proved it the right way, on the court, and advanced to play Georgia Tech next Saturday at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
Lucas scored 19 points, including the final five for his team.
Lucas' jumper put Oklahoma State ahead with 41 seconds left before Saint Joseph's, again relying outside shots, regained the lead on Pat Carroll's 3-pointer with 29.9 seconds to go.
Blue Devils defeat Musketeers, earns Final Four spot

ATLANTA — Too much history.
Too much Duke.
The Blue Devils ended Xavier's remarkable run in the NCAA tournament and headed to their 14th Final Four, holding off the Musketeers 66-63 yesterday to win the Atlanta Regional.
Xavier had already chopped down the second- and third-seeded teams in the region, but couldn't make it 1-2-3 against Duke.
The Blue Devils will be the only No.1 seed in San Antonio, advancing to meet Connecticut next Saturday in the national semifinals.
The seventh-seeded Musketeers had never been this far in the tourney, and it showed in the closing minutes against postseason-hardened Duke.
With the score tied at 56, Chris Duhon drove to the basket and missed, but Luol Deng grabbed the offensive rebound and passed out to J.J. Redick, who swished the 3-
pointer that put the Blue Devils ahead for good with 2:55 remaining.
Xavier couldn't overcome the loss of Anthony Myles, its best inside player, who fouled out with 12 1/2 minutes remaining after
scoring 16 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.
His absence was especially telling at the end.
After Redick's trey, 6-foot-1
Dedrick Finn drove the lane,
only to have his shot swatted
away by 6-9 Shelden Williams.
Duhon sped the other way and
missed again, but Deng tapped in
the rebound to give the Blue Devils a five-point lead with 1:55 to go.
Justin Doellman finally scored for the Musketeers, their first basket in nearly 4 1/2 minutes, but Duke closed it out at the free throw line. Redick hit a pair.
So did Duhon, the only prominent holder from Duke's last
national championship team in 2001.
The Blue Devils (31-5) lost the last two years in the regional semifinals. They didn't slip up this time.
Deng had 19 points and was named the MVP of the regional. Williams also came up big, scoring 12 points to go along with 13 rebounds.
Lionel Chalmers led Xavier (26-11) with 17 points.
Xavier failed to become the first team since LSU in 1986 to reach the Final Four by knocking out the top three seeds in a region. Duke is a virtual lock when it gets to this point, improving to 9-1 in regional finals under coach Mike Krzyzewski.
The Blue Devils will be seeking their fourth national title at the Alamodome next weekend.
Xavier was only 10-9 at the end of January, in danger of missing the tournament, but turned things around after Chalmers went off on his teammates following a 21-point loss at George Washington.
The Musketeers won the Atlantic 10 tournament, ending Saint Joseph's perfect season with a 20-point victory. They knocked off Louisville in the opening round, upset No.2 seed Mississippi State 89-74 to reach the round of 16, then made it to a regional final for the first time with a 79-71 win over No.3 seed Texas.
That's where the thrilling ride ended for the school that is mispronounced often — it's "Zayvee-er."
Xavier took a devastating blow when Myles picked up his fourth and fifth fouls just six seconds apart.
Both teams started slow, combining to miss the first 11 shots.
Duhon finally broke the drought with nearly four minutes gone, driving to the basket and laving it in.
The lead went back and forth seven times in the first half alone -- the margin never getting higher than five points.
But Duke was celebrating at the end, cutting down the nets in the Georgia Dome.

Kansas 78-Pacific 63
A. R. M. S.
Kansas' Wayne Simien took questions from the media in the locker room after the Jayhawks' second-round victory against Pacific in Kemper Arena.
Team earns Sweet 16 bid amid upsets
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Even after Kansas finished thrashing Pacific, 78-63 at Kemper Arena in the NCAA Tournament second round, the Jayhawks did not overlook their opponent for Friday night's Sweet 16 matchup.
Following his team's solid allaround performance against Pacific, Self had no reason to spout in the locker room.
The Jayhawks turned the ball over 13 times, compared to 25 on Friday, and hit 15 of 21 free throw attempts.
The Blazers, who defeated top-seeded Kentucky Sunday after the jayhawks finished their
own game in Kansas City, were as tough of an opponent as any. Even after the impressive victory, the Kansas locker room presented a more laid-back atmosphere than most would expect.
"We're just focused right now," Langford said. "We just won. Good. We know there's going to be a team waiting on us in St. Louis."
The Jayhawks had trouble pulling early from a Pacific team that was not as easily forced out of its offense in Illinois-Chicago on Friday. Langford and senior forward Jeff Graves combined for 15 of Kansas' first 22
points, but the Tigers hung tight. Pacific's dangerous trio of David Doubley, Guillaume Yango and Miah Davis kept their team close, even taking a 16-14 lead into a timeout with 11-57 left in the first half. However, Kansas would pull ahead, as Pacific went eight minutes without another field goal, and fell behind 31-20. The Tigers then regrouped on a 14-2 run, and took a 32-13 lead with just minutes left before halftime.
Then, in a timeout right before the half, Self tore into freshman swingman Giddens in the huddle for a couple of defensive mistakes. Giddens responded by scoring the game's next five points and giving Kansas a 36-32 halftime lead it would never let go.
Out of the locker room, Giddens then scored the first five points for Kansas, but still couldn't shake Pacific. The Tigers tied the game, 51-51 with 10:49 left to play. Next junior guard Mike Lee checked into the game.
Lee would hit six consecutive free throw attempts as well as a huge three-pointer. His nine straight points for Kansas keyed an 11-2 run that broke the Tigers and put the game safely on the backburner.

Kansas freezes out
ST. LOUIS, Mo. — All the Jayhawks heard in the days leading up to their Sweet 16 matchup with Alabama-Birmingham was how they had a cakewalk through the first two rounds and Alabama-Birmingham would pressure them out of the game in a hurry.
Instead of using its words to fight back, Kansas simply used a 100-74 slaughtering of the UAB Blazers to make a statement and advance to the Elite Eight for the third straight season.
Every player in the locker room attributed Kansas' readiness to the eight-on-five drills the Jayhawks ran in practice during the last week to prepare for Alabama-Birmingham's stingy full-court press.
The Jayhawks out-rebounded the Blazers 45-33, including a 35-19 advantage on the defensive boards. It was just one of many factors Kansas controlled en route to its blowout victory.

night from the opening tip. With the Jevahawks leading 8-6 in the opening minutes, Giddens and Graves leaved a 10-0 run that would open the gap on the scoreboard, and the Blazers would never get closer than nine points the rest of the night.
Most importantly, the Jayhawks were able to run the floor in transition, which is something the team's veterans have been accustomed to in previous years.
The second half saw Kansas do
monning more than dig its dagger a little deeper, with both flashy dunks from Giddens, and an abnormal amount of free throws from Simien. With 18 free throws, Simien broke the record of 14 free throws set in the 1957 NCAA Tournament by Wilt Chamberlain.
Fans and spectators have been locked in a time-warp the past few weeks. The Jayhawks are playing with the speed, accuracy and consistency that they have displayed in their last two tournament runs.

Jayhawks on fire, snuff-out Flames
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — By using an abundance of size and speed to slaughter the undermanned Illinois-Chicago Flames 78-53, Kansas set a date Sunday afternoon in the NCAA Tournament second round with No. 12 seed Pacific. The Tigers pulled an upset, defeating No. 5 seed Providence.
"The point spread of the win means nothing," junior guard Mike Lee said. "We're not going to go into Sunday cocky, fat and happy thinking yeah, we just blew them out. We're going to do OK."
Illinois-Chicago came in pumped up and appeared unfazed by the crowd filled with a large number of Jayhawk fans. Despite having unbreakable nerves, there was not much the Flames could do defensively to stop an opponent that shot 61.5 percent from the floor.
The score was tied at six in the opening minutes, with Illinois-Chicago pushing as hard as it could to hold off Kansas. Then the Jayhawks took off on a 19-4 run that would give them the lead for good. What made the run even more interesting was that it was sparked by a lineup that consisted of four bench players — Christian Moody, Mike Lee, Jeff Hawkins and David Padgett. Those four combined for nine points in the run.
The Kemper Arena crowd that had been as loud as one at Allen Fieldhouse collectively held its breath when Kansas' leading scorer and rebounder, junior forward Wayne Simien, went down to the floor hurt with 6:40 left in the first half. Simien aggravated a groin injury that has nagged him all season, but he returned from the locker room to start the second half.
"There's no question about what happened," Simien said of his injury. "I did a ballerina split out there."
Having Simien on the floor in the second half gave the Jayhawks the emotion and physical presence they needed to break Illinois-Chicago's back. As the Flames' shots continued to rim out, the Jayhawks continued to turn up their defensive intensity with a slew of three-pointers and crowd-arousing dunks from Simien, Keith Langford and J.R. Giddens.
"If you work hard all day you're going to get rewarded," Giddens said. "We worked hard on defense, and I got some easy dunks."
For Kansas' juniors, the undoubted leaders on the floor, it was the first time in their three seasons they were able to pull away and blow out a first-round tournament opponent. But as glitzy as the score may appear, coach Bill Self was not as happy
as one would expect. He gave his team a tongue-lashing in the locker room following the game, pointing out his team's weaknesses such as the 25 turnovers and 15 missed free throws.
Giddens led Kansas with 17 points, while Simien and Lang-
ford contributed 13 a piece. Simien and Langford also led the Jayhawks in rebounding, combining for 16 boards.

Decision reversed
Physical education program to admit students
By Matt Rodriguez
mrodriguez@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The School of Education reversed its decision to not admit students into one of its programs, which was announced as discontinued in a press release earlier this month.
The decision to again admit students into the health and physical education teacher license program this fall came after finding out that 16 of the 21 prospective students have already finished specific courses for the license. Someone let these students enroll in classes they were not allowed to take,
said Angela Lumpkin, dean of education.
After the students learned that they would be denied admittance, several of them sat down with Lumpkin to express their concerns, Lumpkin said.
The 16 students, along with those already in the program, are expected to finish the curriculum within the next two years.
"It raised the consciousness level to understand that students were caught in the middle." Lumpkin said.
Keith Tennant, chairman of health sport and exercise science, said the program has not changed since the decision was made.
"Everything is back to the way it was," Tennant said.
In order for the University to begin the procedure for possibly cutting the program, the program's ability to survive had to be analyzed, Lumpkin said.
The deap has the power to end a program by making a recommendation to the University within three weeks of the beginning of the semester. Then the decision goes through a series of reviews through University governance, the provost and the chancellor.
The program must meet the Board of Regents' requirements of having 50 stu-

Carville, former campaign manager for President Clinton and current co-host of CNN's Crossfire, attacked President Bush on his foreign policy, the economy and what he called his tendency to avoid the truth.

things he said I don't really agree with," she said. "But I got to see the insights of how the Democrats feel."
One of the main areas in which Carville attacked Bush was his handling of the economy. When Bush took office, he inherited a country with a huge surplus but managed to drive it into debt, he said.
"I heard some guy say the Bush administration produced more gay marriages than it has jobs," he said, referring to the debate over same-sex marriage. The comment drew a big laugh to the audience.

Do you know what your fees are? 33 campus, activities fees range from 9 cents to $90.50

Every University of Kansas student enrolled in five credit hours or more pays $287 in campus fees every semester. Broken down into monthly payments, the fee would be a little more than $70 per month. That's more than most students pay for their cell phones or to put gas in their cars — unless they're driving Hummers.
When it comes to the campus fees, some students don't know how much they're paying or what they're paying for.
But there are differences between tuition and the campus fees. While students have little influence on tuition rates, the campus fees are decided largely on the recommendations of Student Senate.
"I'm not sure how much it is," Flores said. "I just think of it as part of tuition."

"KEEP YOUR BAN OUT OF MY BAR!"
Amanda Kim Stairrott/Kansan
This anti-smoking ban sticker was displayed on the front door of The Crossing, 618 W.12th St. Some local drinking establishments do not agree with the nationwide trend of establishing smoking bans.
Bars use stickers to disagree with ban
By Laura Pate

Kansan staff writer
A task force will present research on second-hand smoke to the city commission from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. tomorrow, but Stu Lonnie has his own message to get out.
His mantra: business owners should have the freedom to decide whether to allow smoking. His means: red bumper stickers urging city officials to "keep your ban out of my bar."
The six-person task force aims to be non-opinionated while presenting facts about second-hand smoke. City commissioners said they will remain silent on the issue until the task force presents the information tomorrow.
Lonnie said his bar, Stu's Midtown Tavern, 925 Iowa St., would lose business if a ban were passed. Eighty percent of his bar patrons smoke, he said.
Lonnie began handing out the bumper stickers to downtown bars and to Tobacco Express, 2104 W. 25th St., two weeks ago.
Henry's on Eighth, 11 E. Eighth St.; The Crossing, 618 W. 12th St.; and the Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., are among those sticking with the stickers.
Dave Boulter, owner of Henry's on Eighth and The Crossing, displayed the stickers to make the public aware of the possibility of a smoking ban. He also went a step further in opposition of a ban. He ordered pamphlets on how to stop smoking and will hand the pamphlets out to people who are trying to quit.
Boulter said this would be much better than having a smoking ban because it gives people a choice. It will educate people about second-hand smoke rather than taking away the choice to smoke in public places, he said.
"What better place to contact a smoker than a bar?" Boulter said.
"I want to Mace people and expose my toxin to them," Douglas joked.
Aaron Douglas, a Lawrence post-baccalaureate student, bartends at Henry's on Eighth and said he hates breathing in second-hand smoke.
Most nights a smoky room is part of the atmosphere at Henry's on Eighth, said Dainia Santimano, Lawrence resident. She said she would drink and smoke at home if smoking in bars were banned.
Humor aside, Douglas does not support a smoking ban. Bars should have the right to allow smoking, he said. Douglas deals with the smoke at Henry's by turning on ceiling fans and opening windows.
Bouler agrees that Henry's on Eighth would lose business if smoking were banned in public places. Second-hand smoke is a risk like many others, he said. He compared the risk to breathing in fumes from a French-fry machine, walking into a dusty old building or eating fattening foods pose similar risks. The government should not try to impose health standards that eliminate second-hand smoke, he said.
"If someone with sniffles walks in, the government could say that is a public health risk," Boulter said.
Still, some bar patrons hate secondhand smoke so much that they would support a ban. Bar owners should sacrifice their rights to allow smoking to the rights of consumers, said Matthew Boles, Overland Park junior.
"Why should I, as a member of the general public, have to be around smoke?" Boles said. "I shouldn't be limited to where I can go."

Tenemos cuatro más profesores
Spanish department hires four professors, but three others plan to retire
By Jodie Kraft
jkraft@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Spanish department has hired four new professors in an effort to help balance the increasing ratio of students to faculty.
Jorge Pérez, Margot Versteeg, Amy Rossomondo and Robert Bayliss will join the faculty in the fall, bringing the total number of professors in the department to 13. There are currently 347 students majoring in Spanish at the University of Kansas.
But as the four professors come to campus, three professors will be leaving this spring and next fall. Robert Spires and Michael Doudoroff will retire this semester, and George Woodyard will retire in the fall.
Originally there were three faculty positions open, but a fourth position was created for Bayliss because he is Rossomondo's husband, said Danny Anderson, chair of the department.
NEW PROFESSORS FOR SPANISH DEPARTMENT
"He needed a job and we needed someone in that area," Anderson said. "I was very happy
Jorge Pérez, 20th century Spain. Specializes in novels, films, rock music and culture from Spain's Generation X. Currently at Seton Hall University.
Margot Versteeg, 19th century Spain. Specializes in novels, popular culture, drama and operatic theater of the late 19th century. Currently at the University of Utrecht in Holland.
Amy Rossomondo, Spanish Language Pedagogy and Second Language Acquisition. Specializes
in finding effective ways to help language students master the Spanish language. Currently at the University of Miami in Ohio. **Robert Bayliss, Spanish Drama of the Early Modern Period.** Specializes in the traditional discourses of love and individual identity in the late Medieval and Early Modern periods. Currently at the University of Miami in Ohio.

to find four faculty members for the three positions."
The new professors will bring different classes to the University of Kansas and more energy to the department, Anderson said.
departure
"They're having the chance to do what's on the cutting edge with their classes," he said.
Anderson said he hoped to post the list of new classes offered on the departmental Web site, www.ku.edu/-spanport, by the end of this week.
Students can see the new classes on the open sections Web site www.opensections.ku.edu, but Anderson said the new professors' names and a more detailed description of classes offered wouldn't be added until the professors are added to the University payroll.
Even though the department is staying steady with about 13 faculty members, the new hires will create a few extra classes, said Jill Kuhnheim, associate chairwoman of the department and
director of undergraduate studies.
"It won't be much easier for people to get 400-level classes this year, although we may be able to offer one more section than we have in the past years," Kuhnheim said.
For Lindsay Phillips, Leawood junior, even one extra class next semester will help tremendously. Phillips is double majoring in Spanish and business and said she had problems enrolling this semester.
Anderson said the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences was supportive with offering positions, but hiring the new professors still didn't solve the problem of the lack of professors. Anderson's goal is to eventually have 18 faculty members in the department.
"I think it's great to widen the options in terms of classes, but for me being a double major, the biggest pull is just having more classes," Phillips said.
"We still need to keep recruiting new faculty members to keep the class sizes where they need to be," Anderson said.

Fraternity members give to homeless
Seven members of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity are trying to experience what it's like to be homeless by sitting on a few blankets that cover the cold concrete.
Today is the second day of the fraternity's two-day service project, Project Homeless Alpha. From 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., members will request money, nonperishable food items and clothing in front of Wescoe Hall.
This is the second year the fraternity has done the project, said Mark Dupree, Kansas City, Kan., senior and the main organizer of the event. Two years ago, members raised $500 for Jubilee Cafe, 1101 Vermont St. Dupree said this year's food and clothing donations will go to the Salvation Army, 946 Vermont St., and any money raised would possibly be divided between the Salvation Army and Jubilee Cafe.
Paula Gilchrist, social service director at the Salvation Army, said KU donations totaled 20 percent to 22 percent of the total.
Dupree said the fraternity did not do the project last year because several of its leaders were graduating. He said he was motivated to bring the project back after seeing several homeless people during a trip to Washington, D.C.
The fraternity also sent letters to student organizations, sororities, fraternities and administrative offices, requesting donations.
Rona Remmie, Kansas City,
Mo., freshman, said she didn't
know about the project, but when
she approached the table on
Wescoe, she donated right away.
"I was taught to give whatever I have to others." Remmie said. "Whether it's a quarter, a dime or a penny, it makes me feel good to help out."
Dupree said his goal was to raise awareness about the homeless. The fraternity handed out statistics about homeless people in different cities. He said the group was expecting the bulk of donations today.
"But even if no one donates, the fact that awareness about the issue is raised is worth it," Dupree said.
Minor helps students see importance of involvement

LEADERSHIP CLASSES
Getting involved on campus wasn't one of Matt Schoonover's priorities when he came to the University of Kansas.
Schoonover, a political science and communication studies major, became a residential peer educator after he decided to minor in leadership studies, which has been a part of the communication studies department for three years. He is also a student member of the Leadership Studies Advisory Council.
But a recently established interdisciplinary minor, leadership studies, persuaded the Olathe sophomore to become active on campus.
Paul Friedman, co-coordinator of the Leadership studies minor program, suggests students to take these classes over the span of four years.

"I am more apt to volunteer and become involved on campus," he said.
One of the roles of the program is
to combine academics with extracurricular activities, said Paul Friedman, associate professor of communication studies and co-coordinator of the program. The program deals with ethics, community development and diversity. It is designed for students who are interested in being leaders on campus.
The classes offer students who already are leaders ideas on how to be more effective in their roles. Friedman said. The classes are generally small so that discussion and interaction can be more focused on students.
"We're not aiming to be a large program," he said. "It's for students who are truly interested in
leadership and putting it into practice while they are in school."
As one of their last requirements for the minor, students create projects to benefit the campus or Lawrence community that will continue after they leave, Friedman said. Some examples are assisting elderly people with household chores, creating a club that helps people who are blind and having a mosaic mural outside of Wescoe Hall for this year's senior project.
Mary Banwart, assistant professor of communication studies, is co-coordinator of the leadership studies minor. She said the program has accepted about 15 new students each semester in the past but plans
to increase the number to 30 new students for the fall semester.
Students with the minor meet to network with their peers. Banwart said that was helpful because leadership studies students could learn about more campus organizations.
Adam Boxberger, Olathe junior, said he felt detached from school until he chose to minor in leadership studies. Now he's more involved at the University.
Schoonover said the common trait among students in the minor was that they were all willing to be more involved in campus activities.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Responsibility lies with teens
"We need to protect the next generation with education and spermicides, not signatures and empty promises." ("Education, not abstinence, gives best protection," Kansan, March 18).
The main flaw in the argument against the president's abstinence education program is the blame imputed to the premise of abstinence pledges, rather than to the teens' choice to abandon their pledges. The editorial stated that abstinence education is ineffective because the STD rates of pledging and non-pledging teens are similar, and that many of them lose their virginity after making pledges.
Are condoms or birth control pills widely abandoned as ineffective because of incorrect usage or failure to use them at all?
The method is not flawed. The efficacy of any means of birth control, be it abstinence, barrier methods or pills, depends on a willingness to follow certain guidelines. Education only goes so far; the enus is on teens to apply this knowledge to make wise sexual choices.
How can abstinence pledges or any other means of preventing pregnancy and disease protect teens if they lack the self-control to follow through? Lack of responsibility and willpower, not lack of education, is the real problem.

Emergency contraceptives don't belong over the counter
Alea Smith's argument in her March 17 commentary advocating unrestricted availability of the emergency contraceptive Plan,B has several critical flaws.
Smith erroneously argues that Plan B does not cause abortion, but deters it.
Although Plan B is contraceptive if taken during the preovulatory phase, it is abortifacient when administered after fertilization has occurred. Before the advent of oral contraceptives, pregnancy was defined as the state of having a developing embryo or fetus in the body. Accordingly, by preventing uterine implantation of the growing and dividing embryo, Plan B does terminate a pregnancy.
Furthermore, evidence suggests that emergency contraceptives will not decrease abortion rate. Plan B has been available in Washington since 1998, yet Washington's abortion rate was unchanged between 1998 and 2001.
Smith also claims that providing Plan B over the counter would benefit patients. However, among other side effects, Plan B increases risk of ectopic pregnancy, a life-threatening condition, by four times. This risk in itself should justify restricting the drug to administration by prescription, under a physician's supervision.
Additionally, its safety in adolescent patients has not been evaluated, and to assume that its effects in adolescents are identical to those in adults is medically invalid.
Pharmacists are vital members of the health-care team whose job requires critical thinking and professional judgment to promote the best interest of the patient, and they should not be relegated to following physicians' orders blindly.
We need a universal and comprehensive conscience clause to protect all medical professionals from having to practice contrary to their moral beliefs.

ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINE

Electronic voting machines recently brought the technological era to the voting booth. Most of Kansas, as of yet, has not gone digital. Soon the state will decide
OURVIEW
Douglas County should use caution in changing over to electronic voting machines
Zach Newton for The University Daily Kansan
if an electronic system should replace its paper ballot counted by a Scantron-like system. As county commissioners and election officials debate nuances of the potential switch, they should consider the effects these touch screens pose to the voting process.
More than mere vehicles of choice, e-voting machines can skew an election with more vehement than Florida in 2000. It was actually that crisis that motivated counties across the nation to make the switch. Via a $3.9 million bundle in governmental aid, one in five constituents will use touch-screens to elect the president in November, according to an article in Mother Jones magazine this month.
But like the moon to the ocean's tide, these handy touch screens have control over constituents' votes rather than the other way around.
Election officials are more than just jumping the gun, or more aptly, tossing the chad, by implementing this flawed electronic system. Multiple studies conducted by Johns Hopkins University and Rice Universities, and RABA Technologies of Columbia, Md., revealed the inadequacies in the system's security,
Despite lackluster safety measures, the majority of e-voting machines leave no paper trail to confirm each voter's choice, removing the verification process that is essential to a fair democracy. Electorates, especially Democrats, have pushed for machines that produce a printed receipt to improve this flaw.
According to the Mother Jones article, Democrats are notably more skeptical of the newly implemented machines because Walden O'Dell, CEO of Diebold

in counties using e-voting machines than those using paper ballots. But flawed to the core, these numbers are unreliable.
The connection between the Republican party and the touch-screens machines is questionable.
Earlier this year in a Florida county election, e-voting machines failed to register 134 ballots in a race won by a mere 12 votes, as reported by Canada's Globe and Mail.
Proponents advocate the new system because it allows handicapped constituents to vote alone. They also claim that touch screens are less faulty than previous methods. Researchers from Caltech-MIT found one-third fewer errors
In an era of distrust in the government, a leader must arise who is explicitly elected into office. Too much is at stake this presidential election to employ a shaky system that will inevitably end in corporate distrust, and maybe, the wrong president.
ON POLITICS
High abortion rate reason to change stance
With signs plastered all over campus and a tent in front of Wescoe, the March for Women's Lives has been a noticeable presence on campus the past few weeks. The implication of the title is clear: March for women's lives, to hell with the babies.
There, now that I have vented, I want to direct this column to a specific audience. I would like to speak to those of you whose position on abortion sounds like the following: "I would never have an abortion, but I don't want to tell others what to do with their bodies."
COMMENTARY
Most of you who would agree with that statement know, on some level, that there is something wrong with abortion.
.
Let's not talk tough cases such as rape and incest; they amount to a small percent of abortions. Let's talk numbers. According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, there are more than 1 million reported abortions every year in America. Since Roe v. Wade legalized the practice in 1973, there have been more than 40 million abortions performed in the United States. If that figure is not shocking enough for you, consider this: There are only about 4 million live births in America every year. My own calculation
Matt Pirotte opinion@kansan.com
would lead me to the conclusion that we are aborting at 25 percent of the live birth rate.
For another perspective on these numbers, take a generally accepted death toll for the Holocaust, multiply by six and then add 4 million. Keep in mind I'm being conservative with the figures here and I'm not getting them from some radically anti-abortion Web site. They come from an abortion-rights research organization.
The purpose of this column is not to rehash the ongoing morality debate that surrounds abortion. It has been done to death and few minds have been changed. The fact of the matter is that the people on this campus or in this country that are really gung-ho about abortion are few and far between, the body of the abortion-rights movement is not going be
traveling to the Capitol to march for "women's lives." The body of the abortion-rights movement views abortion as a necessary evil and it is to it that I am speaking.
More than 40 million abortions have been performed since 1973. That is staggering and sickening. Pope John Paul II once said that a nation that kills its own children is a nation without hope. You don't have to be Catholic or even religious to recognize the truth of his statement.
I would beg that any reader who still has a glimmer of distaste for the practice of abortion to put down your Kansan for a moment and ask yourself: Is there any hard case, line of logic or impassioned argument that can justify America's war on the unborn?
Pirotte is a Joplin, Mo., senior in history.
PERSPECTIVE
Women's identity linked to maiden name
"My name is my identity and must not be lost."
These words written by women's activist Lucy Stone are as relevant today as they were when she wrote them nearly 150 years ago.
Names identify people to others and to themselves and are integral to who they are. This importance doesn't disappear with marriage, which society needs to recognize.
Courtney Kuhlen
opinion@kansan.com
Though we have made progress since Stone broke ground in the 19th century by becoming the first woman to keep her maiden name after marrying, we still have a long way to go.
COMMENTARY
Last weekend, while attending a professor's birthday party, I caught up with a girl I had worked with. When I mentioned that someone we knew had gotten married and hyphenated her last last name, she commented snidely, "Well, she would."
These three words communicated her judgment that any woman who doesn't take her husband's name has an agenda to prove to the world.
I continued the casual conversation.
but that remark internally stopped me dead in my tracks.
Though keeping a maiden name is more common since the women's movement of the '60s and '70s, it is still the exception. As recently as 10 years ago, 90
"Well, she would."
wedding announcements in the newspaper provide examples of how the other 10 percent tackle the surname issue. Some women choose to hyphenate their maiden names with their husband's. In other couples, both husband and wife take on the hyphenated version. Other women keep only their maiden name.
percent of women adopted their husbands' names, according to American Demographics magazine.
But all of these are choices instead of traditional mandates.
These choices can be made for various reasons, said Ann Schofield, professor of American studies and women's studies
Keeping a maiden name shows desire for an individual identity. Schofield said historically it also demonstrated the wish for more legal status.
Today, women already established in the professional world find it more convenient to keep their names.
"Any number of women from my generation on campus have different names from their husbands." Schofield said.
In addition to professional reputation, keeping a name avoids the hassle of changing legal documents, including driver's licenses, vehicle registration, voter registration cards, passports, employer's records, bank accounts, credit accounts, stocks and bonds, wills, insurance policies, property titles, medical records and Social Security cards.
Children can also be a factor in the decision to keep or change a surname.
A husband and wife should make that decision without societal constraints. Identity involves defining who you are, what you value and which direction you choose to pursue in life.
But most of all, identity belongs to an individual. Only that individual can decide what to do with it.

Senator touts safety technology
Legislature ignores reverse-PIN plan that will alert cops
By Matt Rodriguez
mrodriguez@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A senator is working to stop violent automated teller machine robberies with a Wichita murder case as his inspiration.
Amanda Kim Stairrett/Kansan
Convicted murderers Jonathan and Reginald Carr took their victims to an ATM in December 2001, where they were forced to make withdrawals.
The two gunmen later took all five of their victims to a soccer field, made them kneel down and shot them execution-style. One woman survived the shot to the back of her head and later testified in court against the Carr brothers.
Sen. Phillip Journey (R-Wichita), is working to stop these robberies using reverse Personal Identification Number software. Reverse-PIN technology works by alarming the police of a robbery when a victim types their PIN in reverse order, while still giving the robber the money they want.
Control Panel Help
Journey's bill would require any ATM in the state of Kansas to be designed and programmed to use this technology. The software is called ATM Safety PIN. Its inventor and patent holder, Joseph Zingher, offered Kansas the software for free in an effort to promote it, but despite his offer, Journey said the bill is still "dead as a doormail." The topic has been brought before Legislature but
system nurse Zingher, a former member of the U.S. Army Military police, said a PIN duress system is already in every ATM in America for the workers who load the machines, so he sees no reason why the consumers don't have access to this type of safety.
The technology is awaiting a trial state. Illinois passed a similar bill, but downplayed the wording to state that banks "may" offer the system rather than "have" to
hasn't grabbed any attention.
Journey said there was still time for the bill to take action.
Laura Leonard, Topeka senior, used the ATM in the Kansas Union yesterday. Sen.
Phillip Journey (R-Wichita) has proposed a new technology that will protect people at all Kansas ATMs. The reverse PIN technology allows a person getting robbed at an ATM to punch in the reverse of his or her PIN to alert police.
But the banking industry seems to have a different attitude toward the technology.
"We just don't think that the product will work," said Chuck Stones, senior vice president of the Kansas Bankers Association.
Some people speculate the effectiveness of the system. One question is if the new system will trigger false alarms or if a victim is capable of using the technology under pressure.
Stones said a person was in greater danger when the robber has a gun to their head, hesitating when trying to think of their PIN backward.
But Zingher said the existence of this technology created doubt in robbers' minds because they wouldn't know if the technology was being used. He said that right now there is no way of identifying who is being robbed at an ATM, once they've been taken hostage. This technology would help identify the victims after the robbery had taken place.
It would cost about $27 million to install the software in the 270,000 ATMs across the comn-
try, which breaks down to about $27 per ATM. Zingher said.
Bankers have said this estimate is far too low, but the cost is not the bank's first priority.

MADRID, Spain — A Spanish judge charged two more suspects in the Madrid bombings early today as the incoming Socialist government, facing international pressure over plans to withdraw troops from Iraq.
Two suspects charged in Madrid bombings
doubled its deployment to Afghanistan.
Aghmane Judge Juan del Olmo charged Basel Ghayoun, a Syrian, with mass killings in the March 11 bombings that left at least 190 people dead. The judge also charged Morrocan Hamed Ahmidam with collaborating with a terrorist organization.
At the same time, the judge released three suspects after
questioning. Of the 21 people arrested, 14 have been charged, six have been released, and one has not been publicly identified or appeared in court.
The charges stop short of a formal indictment but suggest that the court has strong evidence. They can be jailed up to two years while investigators gather more evidence.
Ahmidam's brother Said
Ahmidam was released, as were Mohammed Almallah Dabas, a Spanish citizen of Syrian origin and Fouad Almorabit, also from Morocco.
Spanish news agencies reported Monday that another bombing victim, a 49-year-old woman, had died in a Madrid hospital, bringing the death toll to 191.

WIT: 'Crossfire' co-host says Kerry will win
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
On foreign policy, Carville said Bush acts alone whenever he can and praised presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) by saying he did the complete opposite of that.
"I've got news for you change is coming in America," he said.
Carville said several times throughout the night that he was confident Kerry would win the election in November.
He said one reason for his bold prediction was that Al Gore actually won the popular election in 2000 by about 500,000 votes, and that in the years since then, Bush has turned off a lot of his own voters.
"When was the last time you heard someone say, 'I voted for Gore in 2000 but I'm so impressed with Bush that I'll vote for him in 2004," he said.
was about the upcoming election.
"I want to believe him, but I don't know if he should be that certain," he said.
Zach Stolz, a Wichita secondyear law student, said he was surprised at how assured Carville
Bush wasn't the only one Carville attacked. He aimed one his most colorful criticisms at presidential candidate Ralph Nader.

FEES: Students unsure of what they're paying for

be approved by the chancellor and then the Board of Regents.
Senate's influence over the fees means that students have an avenue to change fees that they disagree with.
Sarah Glavin, Kansas City, Kan., senior, didn't know how much the fees were, and when she saw the list she was surprised by the Student Health Fee. The fee, which goes to operate Watkins Memorial Health Center, is the highest at $90.50 per semester.
Glavin said the amount seemed high because she usually ended up paying fees after each Watkins visit.
"I've always paid at Watkins." Glavin said. "The first thing they do when I go there is ask about
my insurance."
The Student Recreation and Fitness Fee is the next largest at $62. Erica Edwards, Wichita junior, said she thought that fee should be optional.
The health fee entitles students to routine check-ups by doctors or nurses and reduces some charges on lab tests. Other services, such as prescriptions, ex-rays or physical therapy are paid by students or their medical insurance.
"I don't use it, these hills are enough for me," Edwards said. "That $62 could buy me a book for class."
Edwards said she would rather see more money go to the Campus Safety Fee.
"Walking from the scholarship halls to Naismith is really scary at sundown and having blue lights
really help." Edwards said.
The $2 safety fee was set to expire this year but Senate recently voted to extend it for at least another three years.
After seeing the list of fees, Flores said he had a greater appreciation for Senate's ability to distribute the nearly $600 a year that each student pays.
Kyle Johnson, engineering senator, said that if students had concerns about their fees they could join a Senate committee or contact their senators.
"They can just get ahold of the Senate Office and give their perspective," Johnson said. "If enough students ask for something we can probably get it done."

Kerry says Bush weak on economy
The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — John Kerry lashed out at Vice President Dick Cheney yesterday, accusing Cheney of distorting his Senate record on taxes as the Democrat sought to shift the debate to President Bush's stewardship of the economy.
"This administration has one economic policy for America—3 million jobs lost and driving gas prices towards $3 a gallon," the presumptive Democratic nominee told students at a jobs training center in Sacramento.
Hours after Cheney called him "one of the most reliable pro-tax votes in the Senate," Kerry delivered a sharp rebuke, faulting the Bush administration for waging a campaign of "half-truths."
"They found Dick Cheney in an undisclosed location and brought him out to attack me," Kerry said at the start of a town hall meeting at the Charles A. Jones Skills & Business Education Center. "That seems to be his designated role, not to create jobs, but to attack John Kerry.
Two weeks ago, Kerry and Cheney engaged in a crosscountry, rhetorical fight over national security and the Democrat's credentials to be commander in chief. On Monday, they sparred over taxes and the economy.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
New coach brings history of success
By Jesse Newell
jnewell@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Lew Perkins is a man of his word.
The Kansas athletics director had one promise for the Jayhawk women's basketball team earlier this season when former coach Marian Washington retired.
"Mr. Perkins told us from day one, after Coach Washington had announced that she was going to step down, that he would get a good coach—one of the best coaches in the country," sophomore guard Erica Hallman said. "That's what he's done."
Perkins' promise became reality yesterday with the announcement of Bonnie Henrickson as the new women's basketball coach.
Henrickson comes to Kansas established as a top-notch coach. Her teams recorded at least 20 wins during each of her seven years at Virginia Tech and she guided the Hokies to the NCAA tournament five times. Her best season came in 1998-'99, when she led the Hokies to a 28-3 record and a Sweet Sixteen appearance, earning Atlantic
10 Coach of the Year honors.
At Virginia Tech, Henrickson ran a system very similar to what Kansas fans were used to with Roy Williams. Her teams are known for their ability to run and score in transition while playing tough half-court defense.
"We think its a style they like to play and fans like to watch," Henrickson said.
Henrickson said the up-tempo play benefitted players and fans
"We really felt like we had the perfect match and the perfect coach," Perkins said.
Henrickson signed a five-year deal which will pay a base salary of $150,000 per year. With endorsements from the media and apparel industries, the figure will reach close to $530,000.
The 40-year-old Henrickson brings with her a staff from Virginia Tech; assistant coaches Katie O'Connor and Karen Lange, along with Trena Anderson, director of basketball operations.

Past Virginia Tech leader plans for team's season

Since Kansas women's basketball season-ending loss to Baylor in the Big 12 Conference Tournament, the team has felt lost.
"It's kind of been a sense of no direction," juniorguard Blair Waltz said.
At yesterday's news conference, new coach Bonnie Henrickson shared her vision and direction for the team.
Her first order of business will be to go out on the road and recruit. When the women's Final Four wraps up, Henrickson and her assistants will be talking with potential players.
"She means business," Waltz said. "She has a great personality, but at the same time she wants to get down to business."
"We will take phone calls and emails from anyone across the state who thinks they saw a player somewhere," Henrickson said.
And while she did say that she would be more than happy to win a championship with a team of Kansas-bred players, she also indicated she would recruit regionally and nationally.
"We certainly have an opportunity to do something in the spring," Henrickson said. "We are aware of talented players we have and will communicate with them about getting them to campus this spring."
One of the biggest question marks facing this program in the coming days and weeks is who will and will not be returning.
While no players have come to either athletics director Lew Perkins or Henrickson to announce their intention not to return, Henrickson is preparing to make replacements if needed.
"We'll know in time what our numbers here are exactly," she said. "We don't know what our numbers are right now."

'Hawks' loss translates to lost financial opportunity
By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansas staff writer
Instead of ditching plans for parties and road trips to San Antonio, the businesses had to scrap plans to sell Final Four T-shirts and other merchandise.
Some local clothing retailers were just as disappointed as Jayhawk basketball fans were after the Kansas' loss to Georgia Tech Sunday.
"It's a big deal for everybody," said Tom Wilkerson, owner of Jayhawk Spirit, 935 Massachusetts St. "It's like a second Christmas."
Wilkerson planned to sell shirts as well as pennants, hats and dozens of other items. His merchandise order faded as Georgia Tech pulled away from the lavhawks in overtime.
"I don't lose any money," Wilkerson said. "I lose a lot of phone time, fax time, just a lot of time."
The main cost for Wilkerson in light of the defeat is hours of lost time preparing in advance for orders. Wilkerson said deciding which items to purchase and how many of each was time consuming in the weeks before the basketball tournament started.
The store had been able to cash in on the team's previous two trips to the Final Four but now does not expect to see an increase as business goes back to normal for the rest of the year.
"We're a KU business 365 days a year," Wilkerson said. "We don't see a

big insurgence unless they make the Final Four."
Other businesses were waiting for the buzzer to signal a Kansas victory,to have immediate prints applied to shirts.
Toni Retonde, store manager of Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Rd., developed two unique prints for Final Four shirts that would have been ready hours after the game if Kansas was victorious. The store also had orders for other shirts to come the following day.
The loss on the court won't necessarily be a loss for the Jayhawk Bookstore. The unprinted shirts will go back on the shelves and overnight orders will be canceled.
Wilkerson said it was good for business in 1988 when the Jayhawks won the National Championship.
Nevertheless, having Final Four merchandise would have helped businesses.
until three in the morning," Wilkerson said.
Jarod Kastning, manager of Francis Sporting Goods, 731 Massachusetts St., said his store had not ordered any shirts ahead of time. He said that the store had made some profit in previous years with Final Four merchandise but does not lament the loss of business.
"I can remember in '88, we were open
"It's not too bad," Kastning said. "We would have made some money, but oh well."
Ace Sporting and Tickets, 647 Massachusetts St., had a vested interest in the Jayhawks going to the Final Four. Carson Brackney, manager, said his store was planning on making extra money on merchandise in it's first basketball season after opening in last November.
"This season was so exceptional with the first two games at Kemper Arena and the last game at St. Louis," Brackney said, "It's hard to go wrong when you're selling Jayhawk merchandise."
In addition to merchandise, Brackney said his ticket brokerage would have been able to sell a couple dozen tickets to local fans making the trip to San Antonio. Brackney said he estimated tickets to the Final Four through brokerages would cost $500 apiece. He said the tickets probably would cost a little more in Lawrence with the high demand for tickets.

Disappointed fans have no reason to hang their heads

Kansan sports editor
Maybe four straight Sweet Sixteens have left Kansas fans with unrealistic expectations. That's the only way to explain the general feeling of malaise on campus after Sunday's 78-71 loss to Georgia Tech in the Elite Eight.
"I'm going to go to bed and cry," Amanda Lewis, Rosehill junior, said in yesterday's Kansan. "I seriously feel like crying. I can't believe we lost."
It will sound trite, but Kansas fans should feel fine. They are in the overwhelming majority of college basketball fans this time of year. There were 65 teams when the NCAA tournament began. Heading into Final Four weekend, there are 61 sets of wistful fans.
Can a season really be Sweet, Elite and vet still incomplete?
sports commentary
Many of these fans have more reason for disappointment than their Kansas counterparts. There are the underachievers: Kentucky, Providence and Gonzaga (and that's just in Kansas' region). The we-had-a-good-team-but-the-committee-jobbed-us crowd: Pittsburgh, Wisconsin and Utah State, a team that didn't even get to play in the tournament despite a 25-4 season and the regular season title in the Big West conference.
Henry C. Jackson hjackson@kansan.com
Or how about the we-could have been...500 crowd: The Florida A&M Rattlers, which sat at 15-16 and poised to break even, only to lose to top-seeded Kentucky and drop into the indignity of a losing season.
Then there's the saddest group of all, the I-swear-the-regular-season-matters-crowd whose two members, St. Joseph's and Stanford, spent the majority of their seasons undefeated but still didn't make it to San Antonio.
The Jayhawks' over-achieving tournament run saw them go one more round then they were seeded to go, whoop media darling University of Alabama-Birmingham by beating the Blazers at their own game, and for a final salvo, produce one of the tournament's best games before making a graceful exit.
Sure, there's some disappointment when a team gets this close to its third
Fans got it all this season. There were lows: losing at home to Richmond in January, a horrid stretch in February, when Kansas barely looked like a tournament team after back-to-back blowout losses to Oklahoma State and Nebraska; and, of course, Sunday's overtime loss.
straight Final Four. But being bummed out for too long puts a damper on a spectacularly up-and-down basketball season.
But there were plenty of highs: three victories over Missouri. Three! And one of them on a last-gasp buzzer beater that probably bumped the Tigers from the NCAA tournament.
The collective omigosh-we-didn't
Players developed too. Freshmen J.R. Giddens and David Padgett matured as the season went along contributing highlight-reel dunks, buzzer beating shots and quality minutes.
There are a lot of people typing at their computers or sitting in their dorm rooms — people on the outside looking in — who don't understand what this team really accomplished. There's a lot, as junior guard Michael Lee put it after the game, that no one else can understand.
make-it-to-the-Final-Four mentality loses credibility when one considers what this team overcame: a new coach, the loss of two NBA lottery picks and nearly every major player being injured or suspended at some point.
"You have to smile," Lee said after the game. "Life's not easy, everything's not fair. Struggle helps you appreciate the good times much more. I don't regret anything about this season."
Kansas fans shouldn't either

Baseball team making strides on offense
By Shane Kucera
skucera@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
In the midst of March Madness, Kansas baseball may have received less attention than it deserved.
The 'Hawks offense is making a run to be the all-time best at Kansas. The Jayhawks have shattered, or are on pace to shatter, multiple hitting records.
In 34 games this season, the Jayhawks have hit 40 home runs. At the current pace, the single-season record of 63 home runs will easily be broken.
tuesday, march 30, 2004
Sophomore infielders Ritehie Price and Matt Baty have been clutch at the plate. This season Price broke the Kansas record for most hits in a game with six, and Baty entered last weekend's series against Nebraska leading the Big 12 Conference with a .432 average.
ference with a Asa team, the Hawks also led the Big 12 in batting average, .346, entering the series with Nebraska. The conference-leading team batting average is a result of the Jayhawks' consistency at the plate. Five players have had hit streaks of 12 or more games.
Kovik
After falling to the 'Huskers 3-2 on Friday and being rained out on Saturday, the Hawks came out swinging in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader.
The bats also helped the team to a win against the No.20 Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Junior outfielder Sean Richardson and senior infielder Ryan Baty opened up the game with back-to-back home runs
in the first inning. The Jayhawks followed up with a five-run third inning and a four-run fourth to go up 12-2 on the 'Huskers. Nebraska rallied late in the game, but the Kansas lead was enough to give it a 12-9 victory and move starting pitcher junior Clint Schambach to 3-0. The win snapped the 'Huskers' eight-game winning streak.
Nebraska came back in the second game of the doubleheader to beat Kansas 13-3.
Matt Tribble, senior outfielder, put down a bunt during a game earlier this month. The Kansas baseball team split a doubleheader with the 20th-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers on Sunday at Haymarket Park in Lincoln, Neb.
"Obviously we prepared properly," said coach Ritch Price. "Our goal was to win the series and we almost did that."
Kansas jumped out to an early lead with two runs in the first, but rallies by Nebraska in the third and fifth innings combined for eight runs that were enough to take the lead. The Jayhawk offense was shut down by Nebraska's starting pitcher Phil Shirek. The right-handed junior posted a career-high 10 strikeouts and moved to 4-0 for the season. The loss was the first of the season for lefty junior Mike Zagurski (3-1).
can definitely play wrestlers in Kansas' record is now 22-11-1 and 1-2 in conference play. The next Big 12 match-up will be a three-game series beginning Friday at 6 p.m. against Oklahoma. Friday night at Hoglund Ballpark fans will be rewarded with hot dogs for a quarter.
"This weekend we saw a step up in pitching, but this whole series, we swung the bat really well," Matt Baty said. "We can definitely play with anybody."

Royals get 14-3 thrashing by Chicago White Sox
TUCSON, Ariz. — There was one positive for Kansas City manager Tony Pena after a 14-3 thrashing yesterday by the Chicago White: It wasn't a week later.
The Sox and Royals play opening day in Kansas City.
But Kansas City pitchers Junior Herndon and Les Walrond got a good look at Sox hitters.
To their spring game, Kansas City brought a squad of only four regular starters in the lineup, while the Sox hid scheduled starting pitcher Jon Garland in a Triple-A game with Colorado.
The White Sox (13-13) got three runs off Herndon (0-1) in the first inning, with Jose Valentin getting an RBI single, followed by a two-run homer by Maggio Ordonez. The Sox made it a 3-0 game in the third when Carlos Lee picked up a sacrifice fly.
With Herndon out of the game, it was in the fourth inning when the floodgates opened. The Sox hit around and scored seven runs off Walrond, including a sacrifice fly by Juan Uribe, a solo home run by Aaron Rowand and RBI doubles by Willie Harris and Ordonez.
That was more than enough for starter Neal Cotts (1-1), who went three
innings and allowed just one hit, while striking out one and walking one. The Associated Press

San Francisco gets 17 hits in 12-1 routing of Colorado
TUCSON, Ariz. — Dustin Hermanson was encouraged by his latest outing, even if he wasn't especially sharp.
Hermanson, expected to be San Francisco's No. 4 starter, pitched six strong innings in the Giants' 12-1 rout of the Colorado Rockies yesterday. He allowed three hits and one run with no walks and two strikeouts.
"I had terrible stuff today," Hermanson said. "I just tried to concentrate on hitting my spots. I think just being under control and knowing you didn't have your best stuff, I was able to pitch.
"The balls were hard to grip. It was weird. They felt like they had powder on them," he said.
Preston Wilson, playing only his second game of the spring because of a sore left knee, hornered for the second straight day, accounting for the Rockies run.
Cody Ransom had four doubles and Tony Torcato drove in four runs for San Francisco. The Giants pounded out 17 hits, including nine doubles and three triples.
Ransom went 4-for-5, scoring twice. Yorvit Torrealba had two doubles and three RBI, and Pedro Feliz had three hits, including two doubles.
Colorado's Joe Kennedy pitched four scoreless innings but was roughed up in the fifth, giving up five runs. Kennedy,
Colorado's No. 3 starter, went 5-2-3

Cardinals' new players battle to secure roster spots in win
The Associated Press
JUPITER, Fla. — So Taguchi took a huge step toward securing a roster spot with the St. Louis Cardinals, going 4-for-4 yesterday in a 5-4 victory over the New York Mets.
After the game, the Cardinals traded Kerry Robinson to San Diego for Brian Hunter in a swap of speedy outfielders. Robinson had been one of several players, including Taguchi, competing for playing time in left field.
The 34-year-old outfielder from Japan raised his batting average to .354 and became the first Cardinals player to have a four-hit game this spring.
"So has been playing as good as anybody in camp," manager Tony La Russa said. "I would say he has a pretty good chance of making the club without making it official."
Hunter is a .264 lifetime hitter in 10 plus seasons with Houston, Detroit, Seattle, Colorado, Cincinnati and Philadelphia.
"He's been a good guy and a good player for us. But he has an opportunity there. And it is not like we are sending him some place for punishment. They should be a contender," he said.
"It was a situation where his playing time would be infrequent and inconsistent." the manager said.
La Russa said it was tough to let go of Robinson, a St. Louis native.

St. Louis Regional works out glitches for next tournament
The Missouri Valley Conference, the driving force behind the city's large NCAA presence, is sending a delegation to this year's event in San Antonio Texas, just to cover the bases. Organizers believe they're ready for next April now.
"We learn every time we conduct an event, regardless of the facility and regardless of the setup," MVC commissioner Doug Elgin said. "I think we've fixed on exactly where and how we want things to be."
The St. Louis Regional had a few glitches. The sound system was muddy for the opening two games before speakers were redirected, a technical mix-up led to reversed scores on one game for a short time and one of the large scoreboards went dark for a few seconds at the end of Georgia Tech's 79- 71 overtime victory over Kansas in the regional final on Sunday.
Attendance was a bit of a disappointment, falling well short of the NCAA record of 45,589 for the city's last regional final in 2001. Of course, that game featured Kentucky and its legion of fans.
The Wildcats' absence from this year's event after being the top overall seed served to hold the crowds down to 30,000 for both sessions. Still, the St. Louis event finished with the top two attendance figures for any regional.

Padgett, make your freaking layups. That's why you'll never be good at center at the University of Kansas. You're horrible.

I still love those damn Jayhawks
Aaron Miles, you need to thank J.R. Giddens because he just saved your ass.
---
We just lost in overtime and all I can say is guys, thanks for a great season. To Jeff Graves and Bryant Nash: Thanks for the years you've put in here. Rock Chalk Jayhawk, go KU.
-
J. R. Giddens sure didn't look like a freshman today. Unfortunately our juniors looked like freshmen. What happened with the experience?
-
Great season Bill and the Jayhawks We'll go all the way next year.
Mizzou lost in the NIT, but we went further than UNC. Jayhawks we are proud to be.
All I have to say is that we still got further than Roy. Good job boys.

What's a bee anyways? I'll punch every bee in the face.

If Georgia Tech was a country, it would be France.
It could be worse. I could be a Missouri fan right now.
-
Georgia Tech is the new Missouri
Georgia Tech is about as cool as wet toilet paper.

Does anyone else think that Georgia Tech's fight song sounds like The Itsy Bitsy Spider?

HISTORY: Former Virginia Tech coach comes with high expectations
It is undecided whether Lynette Woodard, who coached the Jayhawks in Washington's absence, will remain on staff next season.
Henrickson said she set the bar high for her team.
"No one has higher expectations for this program than myself and my staff." Henrickson said. "And no one works harder than myself and my staff to get this done and do it the right way."
Recruiting will be the focus for the next few weeks, Henrickson said. She said her staff would pay extra attention to talented players in the region.
"We will recruit the state of Kansas," Henrickson said. "If we can win a national championship

Henrickson and her staff did one other thing for the players before they left. They established "a shell" of a schedule for the team to follow. One of the players' main concerns was that they had been drifting since the season ended.

Easier enrollment
New program to take stress out of process
By Anna Clovis
aclovis@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Frustration, headaches and dread of closed classes are all common symptoms of enrollment time, but a new service may ease the process.
I-Enroll, a pilot project developed by the Student Success office, will debut when enrollment begins tomorrow.
The project will be a type of universal help desk for students who want assistance, said Michelle Eodice, member of the Enroll and Pay implementation team and director of the KU Writing Center.
"Some students prefer to have personal help." Eodice said.
The project won't replace meeting with an adviser, but will provide assistance with student coaches on campus. an online tutorial and a call center.
Eodice said the project would be initially used on a pilot program basis. After
tally used on a proof p this semester, the Student Success office will evaluate the program to see if it was effective and in what ways students need help.

Most students having problems are upperclassmen because freshmen are learning the online system during summer enrollment, Eodice said. She said upperclassmen were still getting used to how it works.
"We want to reach the students who have had frustrations," Eodice said. "We want to make this a fun, relaxed experience."

I-Enroll will offer the following forms of assistance during the enrollment period:

Students still consider class drops
By Ron Knox
rknox@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Carly Pearson didn't think her first 300-level French class would be so much work.
For the first two months of the semester she tried to work through it. But before long, she realized she had to drop the class.
"We would have a test one day, and then the next day have a composition due. It was crazy," the Topeka sophomore said.
For Pearson, this was her first dropped class. But for many students, dropping classes can come as a solution to a difficult course load or trouble in their personal lives.
Students who decide to drop classes often fall into two categories, said Frank DeSalvo, director of Counseling and Psychological Services.
In the first category, students like Pearson realize that a class isn't a good fit for them. DeSalvo said.
The problem could stem from material the student didn't expect, a learning style that didn't fit the class or a combination of those factors, he said.
The second category includes students whose classes are going well but an event in a student's life, such as the death of a parent or a break-up with a significant other, changes the situation.
"It can change their whole life balance." DeSalvo said. "School becomes more difficult, or not a priority."
Sometimes seasonal forces can lead students away from their classwork, said Chico Herbison, a faculty advisor in the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center.
the combination of improving weather, the NCAA basketball tournament and daylight savings time can lead an unfocused student to distraction, Herbison said.
The resulting panic and rush to catch up in classes can lead students to drop classes and cause wear on their minds and bodies in the process, he said.
When students stay up late writing papers or finishing homework, they deprive themselves of sleep and can have an even harder time focusing in classes they may already be struggling in, he said.
Without sleep, students are more prone to illnesses that can lead to missed class time, Herbison said. Students often drop classes even after trying to catch up.
"There is an entire complex of issues that need to be addressed after mismanaging your time." Herbison said.
When students come to CAPS with problems that may force them to drop classes, DeSalvo said he tries to help

Silt endangers city's water supply
By Lisa Coble
lcoble@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A group is working to protect one of Lawrence's vital natural resources: Clinton Lake.
Silt, fecal matter and even discarded Coca-Cola all dirty the lake's water, which eventually ends up in the sinks and bathtubs of Lawrence residents. Cities, counties, agricultural entities and environmentalists have united in order to keep the lake's water as clear and odor free as possible.
PARKER'S POWDER
The Wakarusa River drains into Clinton Lake southwest of Lawrence. To protect the lake, the group would ideally like to return the Wakarusa River water to the quality it was 150 years ago, said Paul Liechi, assistant director of the Kansas Biological Survey on the University of Kansas' West Campus.

The group's efforts will protect the quality and availability of drinking water from the lake and the usability of the lake for recreation, Liechti said.

Clinton Lake is operated by the United States Corps of Engineers. The lake supplies water to more than 100,000 people in the area, Liechi said. The city of Lawrence is the largest consumer of water from the lake.
Last year the city withdrew an average of 7,060,000 gallons per day from the lake, according to city utility records. Lawrence has state-approved contracts to use 4.86 billion gallons of water from Clinton Lake each year.
Clinton Lake provides the city of Lawrence with plenty of water now, but residents should not depend on it forev

City overturns decision to allow apartment complex
Two weeks ago, the city approved the building of an apartment complex at Sixth and Wakarusa streets by 6Wak Land Investments.
City commissioners overturned this privilege last night at City Hall. The city had misunderstood the terms of the agreement, which would have also allowed 6Wak Land Investments to build a Wal-Mart near Sixth and Wakarusa streets.

Scientists awarded scholarships
Two students receive award for strengths in research
By Rupal Gor
rgor@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Two students at the University of Kansas won a prestigious national scholarship that encourages research in science, math and engineering.
Stephen Floor, Lawrence junior, and Dyan Vogel, Overland Park junior, both won the scholarship that provides up to $7,500.
The Barry M. Goldwater
scholarship supports students who intend to pursue a career in research and show outstanding work in research as undergraduates, said Sue Lorenz, interim associate director of the honors program.
Thirty-five KU students have won the scholarship since 1989, when the program began. At least one student has received a scholarship each year.
Students who have an exceptional academic record, research experience and want to pursue a career in math, science or engineering were eligible for the scholarship.
Floor, a physics and computer science major, said he was shocked when he found out he
He said that although he did not have perfect grades, his research experience stood out. Floor has published two papers, has given talks at universities and travelled to Europe for presentations.
received the scholarship.
"It really motivates me to do as well as I can because that's what I have been doing in the past two years, and was rewarded for that," Floor said.
Right now, he is working on computer simulations of invented universes with Adrian Melott, physics professor. They design universities and watch gravity take its course as it builds galaxy clusters.
Vogel is working with an experiment called fluorescent microscopy to find a region of DNA that interacts with a gene from fruit flies. Fluorescent
microscopy allows her to watch the embryonic cells interact.
Floor said he was considering to attend graduate school in Germany.
The most interesting part of her research, Vogel said, was working on fluorescent microscopy because she can learn about new techniques in the lab and get ideas from other people. Vogel has been to conferences in Chicago, Houston and Columbia, Mo.
He's been to Sweden, Greece and Denmark for presentations and said he enjoyed European life.
She plans on using her scholarship toward graduate school, though she's not sure yet where she wants to go.

Rehab fails to break smoking addiction
Studies show people leaving drug rehab tend to smoke, putting their lives at risk
By Joshua Kendall
jkendall@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Every year 725,000 people go through drug rehab to only be released with a stronger addiction to smoking cigarettes.
Studies show that people with a history of drug abuse also smoke.
This correlation goes predominantly unnoticed, said Kimber Richter, assistant professor of preventive medicine and public health at the KU Medical Center.
"Many drug users go through treatment for other drugs only to end up dying of tobacco," Richter said.
The deadliest drugs are the legal ones. Richter said.
Smoking is a big concern among the medical community because it stands as the No.1 preventable cause of death in the United States, said Melissa Smith, manager of health education department at Watkins Memorial Health Center. She said that most people do not consider smoking and drug abuse to be the same thing.
"It seems ironic that Medicare covers Viagra in every state but not nicotine replacement therapy."
Kimber Richter
Kimber Hunter Assistant professor of preventive medicine and public health at the KU Medical Center
"The rational is that drug problems differ from smoking because of their consequences," Smith said.
Drug use is perceived to have a larger impact on medical and social problems than cigarettes, which is not the case, Smith said.
trol reported that 1 percent of deaths in 1990 were attributed to drug use while nearly 20 percent were linked to tobacco.
The Centers for Disease Con-
A study conducted by Richter found that drug users are three times more likely to be smokers.
This ratio further increases when patients enter drug rehabilitation.
Richter cited a study by R.D. Hurt, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, that found that 50.9 percent of 845 people who went through addiction treatment died from tobacco-related causes.
One of the major issues with tobacco is that it is socially acceptable whereas drug use is not, said Patricia Denning, a physician at Watkins.
Although only minor smoking prevention is coupled with drug rehabilitation, physicians and nurses in nearly all hospitals encourage patients to quit smoking. Smith said. Patients at Watkins are asked as religiously about smoking as the required blood pressure reading at every check-up.
"There are plenty of people who smoke that do not have a drug addiction problem," said Denning. "But the vast majority that do have drug problems also smoke."
The trouble is that drug users are simply addicted and it is a hard cycle to stop, said Mel Young, an addiction counselor at the Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism Center.
Richter said he thought that not enough emphasis was placed on treating smoking addictions that will ultimately cause more deaths.
"It seems ironic that Medicare covers Viagra in every state but not nicotine replacement therapy," Richter said.

Recycled bicycles given fresh start
Children of the residents of Stouffer Place will get an extra surprise next holiday season thanks to a new partnership between the Department of Student Housing and the Lansing Correctional Facility.
The correctional facility is collecting abandoned bicycles from across the state for its inmates to refurbish and distribute to those in need.
Ten of the collected bikes will be given as prizes to kids at Stouffer Place during their annual holiday party cosponsored by the Stouffer Neighborhood Association and the KU Public Safety Office, said Debbie Ogden, president of the Stouffer Neighborhood Association.
The Kansas City, Kan., junior said she liked how the program would incorporate both recycling and providing for families that may not otherwise be able to afford bikes for their kids.
"It gives us an opportunity to give kids another avenue of recreation." Ogden said.
To participate in the program, the housing department has adopted a new abandoned bicycle policy in cooperation with the KU Public Safety Office and the Lawrence Department of Public Works, said Ken Stoner, director of the Department of Student Housing.
In exchange for contributing abandoned bikes to the program, the department will annually receive five boys' and five girls' bikes meant for children from ages 5 to 12. Stoner said.
Each year, 30 to 50 bicycles are typically abandoned on the property maintained by the Department of Student Housing. Stoner said.
He said the bikes used to be donated in their existing condition to local agencies like the Salvation Army or the Boys and
"It gave us an opportunity to give kids another avenue of recreation."

Girls Club.
"We were always giving them away, and we were giving them away locally." Stoner said. "The piece that was missing was that they weren't always ready to use."
The bikes would often have defective parts or flat tires, and the various agencies didn't always have the time or expertise to restore them. Stoner said.
"Originally the program was a way to make sure the bicycles were in good shape when they were given to the various agencies here in town," Stoner said. "But then we thought maybe we could ask for a percentage of those bikes to come back to us, particularly on the children's side of it."
In early May, a notice will be issued to residents before the obviously abandoned bicycles are removed, Stoner said. The housing department will then record the serial numbers of the bikes and store them for 60 days.
Any bicycles not claimed in that time will be turned over to the Department of Public Works before being sent to the Lansing Correctional Facility for restoration, he said.
Members of the Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical Department will also provide free helmets to the children who win the bikes at the party.
Stoner said the department has already sent 39 bicycles to the correctional facility this year.

Bush ads also hypocritical
The March 29 "Face-Off" in the University Daily Kansan regarding George W. Bush's use of images of remains being removed from the wreckage of the Trade Center was informative. But both commentators neglected to mention that the Bush administration has forbidden media coverage of soldiers' remains being returned from Iraq and that Bush has broken with presidential tradition by refusing to attend even one funeral of a soldier who died in Iraq. Both decisions were ostensibly made out of respect for the families of the fallen soldiers.
In this context, Bush's use of Sept. 11 imagery in his campaign ads seems particularly callous and self-serving.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Drug laws change, are they better? Fair charge Light penalty
Douglas County decided to treat suspected drug dealers like other suspected criminals. According to the Lawrence Journal-World, those arrested for dealing and using drugs used to be arrested twice, and forced to post bail twice, for the same offense. This new policy was reported to be primarily to help the suspects save money (in some cases probably thousands of dollars), but there is a greater reason for it—fairness.
If a murder suspect is arrested while standing over a body and required to post bond, he isn't arrested again when the coroner's report comes back. Think if you were pulled over and given a fine for driving with an expired license plate, and then after taking off with ticket in hand, being pulled over again for the same offense. Being arrested twice may not fulfill the constitutional definition of double jeopardy, but it's awfully close and simply unnecessary in our justice system.
Opponents of the move will say that drug dealers deserve massive punishments. They forget that at this stage, we are talking about suspected criminals and that this move does nothing to decrease punishment, which is for the courts to decide in the first, and last, place.
Face-Off is a project of the Kansan editorial board. Two editorial board members argue opposing sides of a hot-button issue that affects students at the University of Kansas.

"Well, if I had my way with people sellin' dope/I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope/And hang'em up high and let 'em swing till the sun goes down" — Charlie Daniels, Simple Man
Daniels' lyrics are extreme, but they raise a good point: Sometimes the law needs to be harsh.
When the county softened the financial blow to alleged drug offenders, it took away some of the sting from being arrested. Formerly, suspects would have to post bond twice.
The first bond was for the initial arrest. Any substances confiscated from the suspect were tested at a laboratory. If the substance was an illegal drug, the suspect was rearrested and made to post bond again.
Now suspects not initially charged are released from jail on their own recognizance, without paying a dime. Judges made the change because they thought it was unfair that these suspects were the only ones facing an additional bond.
It was unfair. The county should have corrected the problem by instituting the double bond for other crimes such as drunk driving. These people deserve to be fined to the fullest extent of the law, and the county should tack on all the extra charges it legally can.

Discriminating dress codes should go; Racial inequities should be addressed
Four years ago, someone acknowledged the truth.
In a public statement, Dannie Thompson, owner of Jack Flanigans, apologized to his "fellow African Americans and other concerned citizens" who opposed the bar's discriminatory dress code. In 2000, Thompson changed the rules that forbade cornrows or FUBU clothing because of increased flack.
Alison Barker
Practices such as dress codes are "surrogates for direct racist discrimination," said Norman Yetman, professor of sociology. Thompson recognized this connection and remedied the problem. Why do we ignore the dress codes other bars use as vessels for racism?
The bar managers would never admit the link — not on the record. Not to me, with my pen recording their explanations word-for-word.
"We like to keep our bar looking nice."

Even with intensified police regulation, local bar managers said they enforced dress codes for safety. "No bandannas, no jerseys, no sweats," read the signs posted on bar entrances. It is no coincidence that these articles of clothing are associated with hip-hop culture and, in turn, African

Americans. Look no further than BET or MTV for proof that African-American artists provide the style standard.
Because hip-hop represents the avant-garde with its controversial lyrics and irreverent attitude, it challenges societal standards, Yetman said. Just as the "no shirt, no shoes, no service" signs served as a screening mechanism to keep hippies of the '60s out of so-called respectable establishments, current dress codes screen for the new antagonist in mainstream culture.
Our generation's rebel is not rejecting an undeclared war on another country; it is fighting a war waged against their skin color.
Last Call, 729 New Hampshire St., enforces a dress code and requires a KUID for its under-aged clientele to enter. This is to maintain a college crowd, bar manager Jason Stoffer said. But when the bar opened early in 2003, Tony Stubbs, West Palm Beach, Fla., senior, was denied entry. Lacking a better excuse, the bouncers claimed it was because he had on sweats. He
That night, Stubbs said he was wearing a velour matching top and bottom. As Stubbs left the line, bar-goers — white kids in ripped jeans and sandals — breezed through the door without problems. He hasn't returned to the bar since because of this incident.
Half a century ago, the United States Supreme Court declared segregation unconstitutional. While students celebrated our country's progression at last month's Brown v. the Board of Education lectures, many remain unaware of the continued racism African Americans endure in less apparent social arenas.
Governmental policy addresses racial inequities in employment, housing and education, but why isn't anyone paying attention to the segregation of public establishments?
So I say to local bars who enforce dress codes, "I put down my pen—now tell us the truth."

New drug helps arthritis sufferers
By Bill Cross
bcross@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Arthritis is typically associated with senior citizens, however one in five adult Americans that have arthritis are under 44-years-old according to the Center for Disease Control.
College students may be affected by adult arthritis, or juvenile arthritis which can begin anytime before 16-years-old. Symptoms are similar to adult arthritis: inflamed joint tissue, limited range of motion and even stunted growth. Juvenile arthritis can also affect the eyes and internal organs, according to the National Institutes of Health.
The most common problem with college students who have juvenile arthritis is not taking their medication.
Michael Rapoff, professor of behavioral pediatrics at the University's Medical Center, said only 38 to 59 percent of juvenile arthritis patients take all of the prescribed medication.
A new treatment may be on the way to circumvent the problem of patients not taking their medication. An injection of methotrexate, now taken orally, is being developed by researchers in Vancouver, Canada.
medicine will reach the joints faster and more efficiently.
According to the Journal of Rheumatology, the injection will also benefit patients who take the pills on schedule because the
College students with arthritis who are unable to take notes or tests quickly are granted special privileges, said Melissa Manning, associate director of KU Services of Students with Disabilities. She said students with arthritis may also have problems getting to class. For these situations, Lift Van is available, and SSD can request that departments provide a place to keep books in the building, minimizing the workload for affected students.
"There is really a wide variety of accommodations these students need, so it's all tailored to meet the needs of each student," she said.
Manning said arthritis presents a special situation because it is not chronic in the strictest sense.
"Symptoms can change and vary over time," she said. "What might be right for one semester is not for the next."
Lyme disease and lupus have symptoms similar to juvenile arthritis, and careful differentiation must be made before treatment, said Herbert Lindsley, pediatrician at KU Medical Center.
Steps to treat and accommodate young people with arthritis continue, but no cure is in sight, according to the Arthritis Foundation.

WATER: Many reasons at hand
Office will experience problems fulfilling local water needs from Clinton Lake, said Margaret Fast, Kansas Water Office manager of water planning for the Greater Kansas River Basin. She said silt was at the heart of the problem.
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Each year the lake is losing an average of 301 acre feet, or a little more than one-day's supply of water, she said. The office is looking at ways to decrease the silt load, Fast said.
Siltation is caused by erosion, a natural-occurring process that humans accelerate by straightening rivers and streams and removing trees and grasses along banks. Then, sediment is able to enter the watershed, eventually ending up in Clinton Lake. Erosion from open fields also contributes to higher silt and nutrient levels, Reber said.
Besides reducing the lake's size, increased silt levels cause a darkening of the lake. The dark color of the lake traps heat. The heat, coupled with the increased nutrients in the lake — mostly nitrogen and phosphorous — may cause a growth of toxic algae. The algae uses up oxygen needed for fish and other aquatic life, she said. An increase in algae could led to the death of fish on a large-scale.
841-PLAY
1029 Massachusetts
Dredging Clinton Lake or developing wetlands at its upper end to catch the silt could prolong the life of the lake, Fast said. But those procedures would be very expensive. Volunteers could also plant trees and thick grasses, called buffers, that would catch sediment along the watershed. Reber said that developers should not alter the landscape along rivers and streams.
"We tend to want to change the environment to suit us, but the trees and other plant life are there for a reason." she said.
Liecheti plans to begin initial conservation efforts on Deer Creek and Rock Creek, both of which drain directly into Clinton Lake. Deer Creek empties into the northwest edge of the lake and Rock Creek connects with the lake in the southwest corner. About 75 percent of the Wakarusa watershed, including
Deer and Rock Creeks, cover cropland and rangeland.
Liechti said farmers and ranchers could improve water quality by changing their practices. For example, farmers could disk after fertilizing so chemicals wouldn't run off easily. Or ranchers could not water their cattle in the Wakarua River and its tributaries.
Liechti said livestock may be causing most of the fecal matter in the river. Researchers from Kansas State University are collecting samples of water to see if this is true.
Fast said tests for fecal matter at Clinton Lake have exceeded more than 200 colonies of fecal coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters of water, which is the maximum allowed for recreational lakes and rivers. Tests from the Wakarusa River have at times revealed 2,000 colonies per 100 milliliters of water, she said. Wakarusa River is considered a recreational waterway.
Swimmers who ingest water from Clinton Lake may be at risk for gastrointestinal infections, but that depends on the level of fecal matter in the water, Liechti said.
Tests from Clinton Lake also show that eutrophication is occurring. Eutrophication is a build up of nutrients, primarily phosphorous and nitrogen, in the water. The nutrients exist naturally in soil and are applied by farmers in the form of fertilizer. The applied fertilizers and the naturally existing nutrients enter the lake through erosion.
Liechti said people who fish and use the lake for recreation, as well as the counties and cities in the watershed, need to be involved in preventing pollution and siltation.
Agencies involved in the Wakarusa watershed restoration project include Kaw Valley Heritage Alliance, City of Lawrence Department of Utilities, University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Kansas Department of Health and Environment, Douglas County Conservation District and the Shawnee County Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Officials identify victim of two-vehicle collision
LEAVENWORTH — Leavenworth County Sheriff's officials have identified the second fatal victim of Sunday's two-vehicle collision near Tonganoxie as Michael R. Arneson.
Arneson, 56, of De Soto, was killed when his vehicle was struck by another vehicle that
apparently crossed the center line on U.S. Highway 24-40 early Sunday morning.
Adam M. Kosanke, 22, of Tonganake, was driving the other vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Arneson died from his injuries at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine St.
Officials continue to investigate the cause of the accident.

"It's really no big deal. I'm going to France next semester. I'll make up the credit there."

Spain focuses on extremist group
Moroccan group linked to bombing of Madrid trains
The Associated Press
MADRID, Spain — The Spanish government named a Moroccan extremist group linked to Al Qaeda as the main focus of the Madrid bombing probe and said yesterday that investigators were making swift progress.
"Other options are not being ruled out, but primarily the investigation is going to go in this direction." Acebes told reporters.
pects were Basque separatists.
The Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group, forerunner of a group blamed for last year's suicide bombings in Casablanca, is now the "priority," Interior Minister Angel Acebess said — a reversal of the government's initial statements that the prime sus-
The group had surfaced in Spanish news reports, but this was the first time a Spanish government official publicly identified it as the focus of investigation into the March 11 commuter train bombings.
Acebes said witness testimony and the discovery of a rural house where the attackers were believed to have assembled the backpack bombs used in the attacks have led investigators closer to unraveling the plot behind the bombings, which killed 191 people and wounded more than 1,800.
"The investigation is advancing. In 18 days we have arrested 23 people including some of the
chief perpetrators of the attack." Acebes said. Moroccan, British and German authorities were involved in the investigation, he added.
Court officials said judge Juan del Olmo would issue an international arrest warrant for five other suspects yesterday.
Of those arrested, 18 people remain in custody.
Fourteen of the suspects have been charged with mass murder or collaborating with or belonging to a terrorist group.
Four more have yet to go before a judge. They are a Moroccan arrested Friday, two Syrians arrested yesterday and Antonio Toro Castro, the brother-in-law of a Spaniard charged with supplying dynamite to the bombers. Court officials identified the Syrians as Walid Altaraki and
Mohamad Badr Ddin Akkad.
At least six witnesses identified prime suspect Jamal Zougam and two other suspects in a lineup on Friday, according to Spanish media reports.
Witnesses said they saw Zougam leave a backpack before stepping off one of the four trains that were bombed, radio station Cadena Ser reported.
Zougam was arrested with his half brother, Mohamed Chaoui, just two days after the attack.
Their mother, Aicha Achab, told newspaper El Mundo that Zougam and Chaoui were innocent and that they were in her Madrid apartment when the attack happened.
"I was preparing breakfast, like every morning, and we saw what happened on television," Achab was quoted as saying.

TASHKENT, Uzbekistan — Police and military clashed with suspected terrorists and 23 people were killed in a third day of violence yesterday that rattled the Uzbek capital during a sweep to round up Islamic militants, witnesses and authorities said.
Government forces besieged an apartment building near the presidential residence in northern Tashkent for nearly five hours after confronting the suicide bombers. Gunfire and explosions were heard throughout the day.
Attacks on Sunday and Monday had killed another 19 people and wounded 26.
Yesterday's violence was centered in the northern Yalangach neighborhood, near the official home of President Islam Karimov.
A reporter from The Associated Press saw four separate sites of fighting in the district.
The Interior Ministry said in a statement read on a state-run television that 20 terrorists and three police were killed in the confrontations that began about 7:20 a.m. Another five police were wounded, the statement said.
The militants blew themselves up with homemade explosives while police tried to arrest them, the ministry said, without elaborating. It said the investigation was continuing.
Police stopped a small car and two alleged terrorists jumped out and detonated explosive-laden belts, killing themselves and three police officers and injuring five more policemen, said a National Security Service officer at the scene who declined to give his name.
In a separate nearby bombing, neighborhood resident Farida Raupkhajayeva said four women in a red car had driven up to a police checkpoint.
When she ignored a police request to stop, they shot her in
One of the women got out of the car and approached a bus that was stopped there, Raupkha-jayeva said.
the legs, then she set off a bomb,
said Raupkhajaeva.
The other three women then ran into an apartment building, where police began the nearly five-hour standoff with the suspects.
An Interior Ministry officer said 16 suspected terrorists had been killed in the apartment building about 100 yards away from the suicide bombing site. Some had been shot by police but others killed themselves with grenades, said the officer, who refused to give his name.
Five men escaped, said a building resident who refused to give her name.
She said the women in the car were wearing hijab veils, only revealing their eyes. She said they were speaking another Central Asian language she could not understand.
A house several hundred yards away showed signs of heavy fighting, its walls blackened by fire and pocked by dozens of bullet holes. Neighbors who were cleaning up charred books and other debris
said four young men had been killed inside the house.
It was unclear whether the four were among the 16 dead the Interior Ministry officer said had been killed in the siege.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Ilkhom Zakirov said empty trucks and an armored personnel carrier were used to block the route to Karimov's residence.
Several security operations were under way in Tashkent and the surrounding area yesterday, said Svetlana Atikova, spokeswoman for the prosecutor-general's office, without elaborating.
Authorities turned off water, gas and electricity in the district where yesterday's attacks occurred, and residents were forced to cook their evening meals over wood fires in the streets.
The lack of official information led to fear and confusion.
"I don't understand who is killing whom. We learn about things only from rumors and we panic," said Faya Vaganova, a 47-year-old resident.

Criminal records online for a fee
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Criminal records of people convicted in Kansas are now available online from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
For $17.50 per search, Internet users can access data from Kansas court convictions from as far back as 1939.
KBI spokesman Kyle Smith said yesterday that the service will speed up requests for public information while reducing the time it takes KBI employees to retrieve the records.
Smith said the KBI receives about 60,000 requests for criminal background checks each year from people not affiliated with law enforcement agencies or the courts.
They comprise about half of the requests each year — mostly from the newsmedia — for information from the Kansas Central Repository database, which has more than 700,000 records on more than 2 million arrests and court actions.
Smith said he doesn't expect the number of requests to rise significantly because of the new service.
The fee is paid regardless of whether any records turn up from the request, Smith said. Anyone caught misusing the information could face criminal charges, he said.
Most information about adults' convictions in Kansas is available through the Web site.
Data not available include juvenile offenders' records, successfully completed diversion agreements for adults and arrests that did not result in convictions after one year.
Smith said only about 10 states, including Oklahoma and Texas, have criminal background checks available over the Internet.
Dave Sim, administrator of the KBI records section, said fees in other states for the records range from $3.50 to $30 apiece.
Bush reverses decision, Rice will testify
National Security Adviser will testify publicly under oath The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bush agreed yesterday to do what he had insisted for weeks he would not: allow National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice to testify publicly and under oath before an independent panel investigating the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The White House also agreed that Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney would answer questions together and in private before the entire commission.
The turnabout reflected administration concern that the president's strongest point with voters — his leadership in the war on terror — could be eroded if the high-publicity dispute over Rice's testimony lingered.
"I've ordered this level of cooperation because I consider it necessary to gaining a complete picture of the months and years that preceded the murder of our fellow citizens on Sept. 11,2001," Bush said.

the loss or the lessons of Sept. 11 and we must not assume the danger has passed," Bush said in short remarks in the White House briefing room. He took no questions.
The commission's Republican chairman, former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean, said that he welcomed the decision and that the White House shouldn't be concerned that the testimony would violate the principles of executive privilege or separation of powers.
we recognize the fact that this is an extraordinary event," Kean said. "This does not set a precedent." He said there was still no time set for Rice's public testimony or for Bush and Cheney's

private appearance.
But former Bush counterterrorism adviser Richard Clarke — in a best-selling book and testimony before the Sept. 11 commission last week — contended the president had been slow to act against al-Qaida before the attacks and compromised the anti-terror battle afterward by going to war in Iraq.
Opinion polls suggest support for Bush's handling of the war on terror has declined.
Two surveys out this week show the president's approval ratings on that issue are now in the high 50 percent range after being in the mid-60s for months.
Although the erosion has not hurt Bush in one-on-one polling against Democratic rival John Kerry, the White House saw a brewing problem.
It waged a vigorous counterattack on Clarke's credibility. But the many hours Rice spent rebutting Clarke in the news media only raised anew the criticism of the White House's refusal to let her testify publicly.
Even Republicans began saying the administration's argument on separation of powers should
Commissioner Slade Gorton, a former Republican senator from Washington state, said he was delighted at Bush's change of heart, but he added: "I think the White House would have been better off if it had made the agreements sooner."
be tossed aside.
The administration had wanted to restrict any access to the president by the commission to just one hour.
That limit was relaxed earlier this month, even as the White House continued to insist that Bush and Vice President Cheney would meet only privately and only with the commission chairman and vice chairman.
It was the president himself who decided over the weekend that the criticism needed to be muted with an agreement, McCllan said.
The agreement set several conditions.
White House counsel Alberto Gonzales, in a letter to the panel, stipulated that the commission must agree to seek no more public testimony from any White House official and that Rice's appearance would not be viewed as a precedent.
Rice previously appeared before the panel in February, in a private meeting of which no transcript was made.
Bush and Cheney will appear before all 10 commissioners in a single, joint session, with one commission staff member present to take notes, Gonzales wrote.
The commission accepted the White House conditions.
Commissioner Bob Kerrey, a former Democratic senator from Nebraska, said the president and vice president will not be under oath.
And Gorton confirmed there would be no time constraints on their appearance.
Commissioner Tim Roemer, a former Democratic congressman from Indiana, said Rice should address Clarke's charges, including one that the Bush administration took too long to develop its anti-terrorism strategy.
"There are some key questions to try and answer, Roemer said. "Was there an urgent priority in the Bush administration in fighting terrorism? How quickly was the decision made?"
A group of relatives of Sept. 11 victims said they were pleased the commission would be able to question Rice in public, but lamented the commission would not do so with other White House officials.
Bomber allegedly bought supplies in Kansas
The Associated Press
McALESTER, Okla. — A worker at a farmer's co-op in Kansas says he initially didn't tell the FBI what he knew about the sale of ammonium nitrate fertilizer to bombing conspirator Terry Nichols because he feared for his safety.
Jerry Showalter, an employee of the Mid-Kansas Cooperative Association, testified Monday at Nichols' state murder trial that he was involved in the sale of 2,000 pounds of the fertilizer to someone on Sept. 30, 1994 — more than six months before the Oklahoma City bombing.
"I was trying to tell them that I didn't remember it. I felt like I was giving the truth then, but I was not."
Prosecutors allege that Nichols used an alias to purchase the fertilizer, which was a key ingredient in the bomb that destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building
on April 19, 1995, killing 168 people. A few weeks after the bombing, Showalter told FBI agents that he didn't specifically recall the transaction.
"I was trying to tell them I didn't remember it," Showalter said. "I felt like I was giving the truth then, but I was not."
Showalter testified that he was scared.
"This. I'm a nervous wreck right now." he answered.
"What were you afraid of?"
prosecutor Sandy Elliott asked.
Showalter said he sold the material at the co-op's McPherson branch to a man who identified himself as Mike Havens, an alias linked to Nichols. But Showalter said he could not identify Nichols as the buyer.
Three days after the bombing FBI agents searched Nichols home in Herington. In the home, the agents found a receipt issued to Mike Havens for the Set. 30 purchase
Testimony in the case is scheduled to resume Tuesday.
FBI agent Louis Michalko testified Monday that the man known as Havens bought more ammonium nitrate fertilizer from the co-op than almost anyone else in the year before the bombing.
Michalko said he reviewed about 132,000 sales tickets from the co-op to find others who purchased fertilizer from Jan. 1. 1994, up to the date of the bombing.
He said his analysis determined that Havens purchased 4,000 pounds of fertilizer during the period, the highest amount after a local county experimental field and a school district.
Havens, listed as buying 2,000 pounds of the material on Sept. 30 and another 2,000 on Oct. 18, 1994, had the second- and third-largest single purchases. He was the largest buyer at the co-op's McPherson branch, Michalko said. Havens was the only major fertilizer buyer who paid cash. Others placed purchases through accounts.
Nichols is charged with 161 state first-degree murder charges.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
- He is already serving a life prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter and conspiracy convictions for the deaths of eight federal law enforcement officers in the bombing.
The state charges are for the other 160 victims and one victim's fetus.
Prosecutors allege that Nichols and coconspirator Timothy McVeigh gathered components for the ammonium nitrate and fuel-oil bomb and built it.
The government says the bombing was a twisted plot to avenge the deaths of about 80 people exactly two years earlier at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas.
McVeigh was convicted of federal murder charges and executed in 2001.

Bee expert thrives at University
Former professor studies wild bee species' evolution
By Samia Khan
skhan@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
It was on a warm spring day, when winter coats return to the back of closets, that Charles Michener began his research of local bees. After coming to the University of Kansas in 1948 as a professor of entomology, he began his study of solitary bees near Potter Lake. It is the first species of bee to emerge every spring.
Michener's lifelong interest in bees began early and has taken him around the country and globe, earning him national recognition. The distinguished professor emeritus of ecology and evolutionary biology has studied bees in South America, Australia and Africa. Now, after retiring more than a decade ago, Michener continues his research from an office in Snow Hall.
"The University hasn't kicked me out vet." he said.
Michener has spent half of his time researching the social behavior of solitary and small colony bees and the other half classifying thousands of species. He has tried to focus his work on the types of bees that receive little attention, instead of highly social bees like the honey bee.
Abbv Tillerv/Kansar
The Bees of the World, Michener's book classifying nearly 16,000 of the 20,000 species of bees, won him the Association of American Publishers R.R. Hawkins Award in 2000.
Steve Ashe, senior curator in charge of entomology for the Natural History Museum, said even after retiring, Michener continues to be a crucial member of the community.
ity on the systematics and evolution of wild bees." said Ashe.
"He is simply the world author-
Dr. Charles Michener, professor of emeritus of ecology and evolutionary biology, began his career at the University of Kansas in the 1940s. He has studied the social aspects of bees for several years.
Michael Engel, Michener's colleague, said Michener's work continues to bring grants and recognition to the University and attracts students. Michener provides valuable advice and guidance to students in the entomology department said Engel, associate professor in the division of biological sciences.
Michener's interest in bees began decades ago when he was 8 years old. He began by painting and drawing plants and insects near his hometown in southern California. He took note of a small black insect that visited each summer. He eventually identified it as a bee and began focusing on collecting bees.
The Be
of the W
When he was in high school, Michener began corresponding with the leading bee expert in the country, T.D.A. Cockerell at the University of Colorado. Michener was a senior in high school when Cockerell invited him to study bees for a summer at his house in Colorado.
"By this time I was stuck on bees." Michener said.
After completing his Ph D. thesis on bees, he had a post in the Army during World War II, working on mosquito control and studying ways to stop a chigger-born disease affecting troops in the South Pacific.
He has worked only once with the more widely known honey bee, specifically honey bee species known as the African killerbee.
Michener's study of bees is primarily with solitary and small colonies of bees. He finds nests in the ground, picks out each bee and paints a dot of a different color on each bee for identification.
Michener he hated the term "killer bee." He said the African bees don't set out to kill. African bees are simply more aggressive, part of which could be
blamed on humans and human destruction, he said. In Africa the bees are only aggressive where there are large human populations.
While studying the African honey bees Michener was in an environment with highly aggressive bees swarming all around him. But he said he and the other researchers knew what they were doing and wore proper protection.
"We were just like space men in white suits," he said.
Michener said he had been stung very few times. He protects his fingers with rubber when handling bees. Most of all he said bees are not dangerous, and only sting when they are provoked.
Michener said a small swarm of a 1,000 bees once landed on his leg. He gently brushed them away.
"They needed a place to nest, and they must have thought I was a tree trunk," he said.

'Hawks look to end losing streak on road

Pitching problem needs to be overcome to win today against Nebraska

The Kansas softball team will try to stop a six-game losing streak today when No. 22 Nebraska (22-11, 2-0 Big 12 Conference) comes to town.
The game starts at 4 p.m. at Arrocha Ballpark.

Kansas (20-15, 0-2 Big 12) spent its spring break on the West Coast, where it played six games, and then continued to Waco, Texas, to play two games against Baylor.
Kansas won its first two games, both against Portland State, before dropping two games each to No.16 Oregon State, No.17 Oregon and No.21 Bavlor.
Many of its struggles were because of pitching. Freshman pitcher Kassie Humphreys was out with an undisclosed injury, which required senior Kara Pierce to pitch consecutive games.
The team has also traditionally relied on sophomore designated player Serena Settlemier. She has been a pitcher for most of her career, but offseason surgery to regain function in her arm reduced her pitching effectiveness.
Despite her injuries, Settlemier made important contributions. She was named Big 12 softball player of the week for the time that the team was in Oregon. Settlemier had five hits and three home runs, which brings her season total to a team-leading ten homers.
The surgery involved removing four millimeters of bone from the middle of her arm and attaching a metal plate to the bone. The plate binds the bones together, and would normally have been removed. Because she is involved in a sport that exerts such force on her arm, the doctors have elected to leave it on.
Dani May, senior catcher, slid for third base against Southwest Missouri State March 9. The Jayhawks will face Nebraska today at 4 p.m. at Arrocha Ballpark.
"We're going to Oregon because of Serena. She's a west coast kid, originally from Kelso, Washington," coach Tracy Bunge said before the team left. "We're going to be playing about 45 minutes away from her home, and this trip was designed for her to go home."
Settlemier was also the motivation for the trip to Oregon.
The Big 12's pitcher of the week while the Jayhawks were in Oregon was Nebraska's Peaches James, who was important to help the Cornhuskers defeat Oklahoma State Sunday. James threw a one-hit game shut-out as Nebraska cruised to a 5-0 victory. They beat OSU 10-2 on Saturday.
Nebraska will be the fourth consecutive ranked opponent that the Jayhawks face. Today's game will also be the start of a stretch where the team will play five home games in five days.
The Jayhawks, who have been off since Saturday, will try and stop their skid with strong pitching. Humphreys and Pierce are both expected to be available to play.

Final Four for Self
Kansas coach heads to championship game despite loss
By Ryan Greene greene@kansan.com kansan Senior Sportswriter
Talk about a give-and-take relationship.
Even though Bill Self's team fell just a mere eight points from reaching the Final Four on Sunday, he's still going to be headed to San Antonio to watch the college basketball season's final three games.
So why is he going?
"My wife wants to go, so we will go. She likes San Antonio," Self jokingly said in a news conference yesterday. "I am not looking forward to going at all. If I didn't have a ticket, I probably wouldn't go at all."
As painful as it may be to watch the National Semifinals Saturday night at the Alamodome, it will be Self's final break before a long offseason.
"Twenty-four and nine, with the schedule we played, and going to the Elite Eight, that was a really good year for this team," Self said. "Especially with the injuries we have had. This is the most beat-up bunch of guys I have every been around."
First, junior forward Wayne Simien will be out for four to five weeks to let his groin heal. Then there is freshman guard JR Giddens, who re-agravated a stress fracture in his left foot this season, and will find out this week whether or not the injury will require surgery or just a cast. Either way, he should be sidelined for six to eight weeks.
Injuries will be the primary focus for the team, and will keep the Jayhawks from practicing as a team for quite awhile.
"My wife wants to go, so we will go. I am not looking forward to going at all. If I didn't have a ticket, I probably wouldn't go at all."
Bill Self
Kansas men's basketball coach
The longest absence could be that of junior guard Keith Langford. He will have surgery this week on his right knee.
Self said that depending on what the doctors find when they operate, Langford could be out anywhere from 1-3 months.
With those three on leave from basketball for the time being, the healthy team members will be the focus of the coaching staff. In particular, freshmen David Padgett, Omar Wilkes and Ieremy Case.
"David has to get stronger, which he will," Self said. "He has to spend a lot of time in the weightroom. Confidence will come with strength.
"David has to be able to hold his position and get people off their spots. David had a nice freshman year. I think for the first time, he is going to be able to devote more attention to his physical strength because he is not injured."
As for Wilkes and Case, Self is hoping that one of the two will develop into a solid backup point guard, as he is hoping to relieve the stress on Aaron Miles next season.
Miles' fatigue was apparent as he was breathing heavily towards the end of his 43-minute effort against Georgia Tech.
Another possible backup for Miles will be incoming freshman Russell Robinson. Self considers Robinson to be more of a combination guard, but feels he can develop into a solid substitute for Miles off the bench next season.
Self's other two recruits, Sasha Kaun and Darnell Jackson, will both be relied upon to grow up quickly and contribute valuable minutes next season.
"Sasha is a big body," Self said. "He has big hands and can come in and be an impact guy. Darnell has a great body. He has to learn to play a little bit."
Then there is the big NBA question. The most likely player to leave Kansas early for the draft would be Simien.
While Self said he will not try and encourage his leading scorer and rebounder in either direction, he wants to present him with all of the information for Simien and his family to make their own decision. And while it his highly unlikely J.R.

Schedule announced
Georgia Tech, St. Joseph's highlight next season
Kansas fans will not have to wait long for their Jayhawks to have another shot at Georgia Tech.
The Jayhawks will host the first game of a home-and-home series with the Yellow Jackets, likely in late December. The meeting with Georgia Tech stands out among an impressive home schedule that Kansas will navigate next season. The slate also includes conference home games with Texas and Oklahoma State, as well as a meetings with St. Joseph's and Nevada.
"It's a philosophy of the athletic director and the basketball program that we play the right mix of teams for national TV exposure," Jim Marchiony, athletics director for external affairs, said yesterday.
Other interesting games scheduled include home games against TCU and
The Georgia Tech and St. Joe's games are the non-conference highlights. Georgia Tech will enter next season as one of the nation's top teams, returning four of this year's starters. Among those returning is guard Jarrett Jack, who had 29 points, nine rebounds and six assists against Kansas on Sunday. St. Joe's will have one of the nation's best guards in Delonte West, who combined with senior Jameer Nelson to form the nation's leading backcourt this season.
Wyoming, plus a game on the road at Villanova and a showdown with California in Kansas City, Mo.
In addition, Kansas will play in the Coaches vs. Cancer tournament. If the Jayhawks win two home games to advance to New York, they could possibly face both Syracuse and Duke in the tournament's final two rounds.

NFLowners re-approve instant replay
The Associated Press
Only once last season did a team have two successful challenges.
PALM BEACH, Fla. — NFL owners voted to keep instant replay for at least five more seasons, and they added a twist yesterday: A team successful on two challenges in a game will get a third.
The vote at the NFL meetings was 29.3, with Cincinnati, Kansas City and Indianapolis against the five-year extension on replay.
The owners were given several proposals on instant replay, including one that would have made it permanent. They chose to go with the five-year option and the extra challenge.
The owners also made it clear they want commissioner Paul Tagliabue around for the next few years.
Tagliabue will be offered a contract extension of as long as three years, Steelers owner Dan Rooney said. The 32
He's expected to get about $8 million a year under the new deal.
Upcoming matters the league faces are negotiations for a new network television contract — the current eight-year, $17.6 billion deal expires after the 2005 season — and an extension of the collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Players Association.
"He's taken the league to a new level," Rooney said of Tagliabue, who replaced Pete Rozelle in 1989. "The television situation is phenomenal, the relationship with the players' union is great. We're entering an important period, and we want him to continue to lead us through it. It's obvious what we think of him."
"We've had back-to-back stewardships not seen anytime before in any league," retiring Ravens owner Art Mod-
ell said of the Rozelle-Tagliabue years.
Several other rules changes will be voted on either yesterday or today.
Changing overtime to allow both teams a possession is unlikely to be approved.
An expansion of the playoffs from 12 to 14 teams won't be on the agenda after Kansas City withdrew the proposal. Although many coaches said they favor the idea, the Chiefs felt there wasn't enough support among the owners, and the competition committee was strongly opposed.
The committee also recommended instituting 15-yard penalties for choreographed celebrations and suggested some minor changes to the fair catch rule that will eliminate any returns by the receiving team once the signal is made.
and market, we are 32nd out of 32," said Irsay, who went into his own pocket to pay a record $34.5 million signing bonus to quarterback Peyton Manning, last season's co-MVP. "There has to be some way to create a shift there, and it's the issue in the NFL right now, revenue sharing."
Tagliabue predicted renewal of the NFL Trust, through which teams share revenues from the sale of licensed merchandise. Washington's Daniel Snyder and Dallas' Jerry Jones want to market their own products without cutting in others, although neither has indicated opposition to the NFL Trust. They do seek modifications.
Concern about the disparity in cash flow between the 32 teams has been a main topic of the meetings. Rooney, Buffalo's Ralph Wilson and Indianapolis' Jimmy Irsay expressed their concerns Monday.
"With our stadium and ticket pricing
That concerns small-market owners.

"I can't see why we're talking about selling a few more bobblehead dolls in Buffalo." Wilson said. "And I wonder how many Cowboy hats Jerry is going to sell there. There's a far more fundamental issue: the money disparity that will end up making it a league of haves and have-nots."

Beltran helps Berroa attempt to avoid sophomore drop-off
PEORIA, Ariz. — In his second season with the Royals, reigning AL Rookie of the Year Angel Berroa has a pair of Kansas City examples to follow when it comes to avoiding a sophomore slump.
Bob Hamelin hit .282 with 24 home runs to win the award in 1994, and was out of the majors four years later.
Carlos Beltran hit .293 and 22 home runs in 1999, and followed up his rookie of the year selection with a successful career that's expected to yield a major free-agent payday after this season.
"I don't know how it's going to be," Berroa said of 2004. "I'm just working hard and trying to get another good year. We'll see what happens."
Berroa edged out New York Yankees outfielders Hideki Matusi to win the rookie award last year, when he hit .292 with 17 home runs, 21 stolen bases and 92 runs scored. He's been working with Beltran to avoid a second-year drop-off, a fate that belfell the Royals center fielder in his second year.
"He's just not thinking about what he has to perform this year. He's just going out and playing the game, playing hard, going out and having fun," Beltran said. "That's the best way to go."

Coaches' recruiting improves teams, earns renown
Players' fame lags as coaches become well-known for organizing teams and picking players to build successful clubs

Looking at Duke's roster, it's easy to find a number of good players, but only one household name.
Over the past decade, college basketball has turned into a showcase more for big-name coaches than superstar players. That reality will be seen clearly this year at the sport's biggest event, the Final Four.
That would be the coach, Mike Krzuwski.
With apologies to Chris Duhon, Emeka Okafer, B.J. Elder and the rest, the coaches will be more recognizable than most of the players this week when Duke, coached by Krzyzewski, plays Connecticut, coached by Jim Calhoun; and Oklahoma State, coached by Eddie Sutton, plays Georgia Tech, coached by Paul Hewitt, the only relative unknown.
"What people like seeing is the teams," Calhoun said. "The name on the front of the jersey is more important than the name on the back of the jersey. I think people still relate to that."
Good thing, because dwinding are the days of Bird vs. Magic, the Fab Five and the great four-year college stars like Patrick Ewing, Steve Alford, Christian Laettner and Mateen Cleaves.
There are many factors in play, although the prime reason for the shift is the large increase in players who leave school early to go pro. It forces coaches to adjust not only their game plans, but the way they recruit, too.
"I'm a big believer in developing depth," Hewitt said.
More and more coaches are trying to recruit solid players — not stars, necessarily, but guys who can contribute for three or four years.
Florida's Billy Donovan gets praised for routinely collecting
"What people like seeing is the teams, The name on the front of the jersey is more important than the name on the back."

top-five recruiting classes, but many of those recruits leave early and some, like Kwame Brown, never enroll. The Gators haven't made it out of the first weekend of the tournament in four years.
On the other hand, there are examples like Maryland's 2002 championship team. Two key players — Juan Dixon and Lonny Baxter — were seniors, and forward Chris Wilcox was a junior who left a year early. None were considered big-time stars at any point in their college careers.
"They developed depth, played eight, nine players, had a solid inside game and a very, very solid team." Hewitt said of the Terps.
That's not to say there aren't great players in college.
Just last season, Syracuse won a national championship largely on the strength of freshman Carmelo Anthony. Orangemen coach Jim Boeheim knew Anthony might leave when he recruited him, but there were no regrets.
"I knew he would help us," Boeheim said last year. "I knew he'd be a special player. We were talking about him being the player of the year in college basketball. We weren't talking about being the freshman of the year. We thought he honestly had a chance to be the best player in college basketball."
Krzyzewski, meanwhile, has been a master of keeping players around for longer than many people expect. The last time Duke was at the Final Four, in 2001, the Blue Devils won it all largely on the shoulders of Shane Battier, who stayed for his senior year when he had the game to leave early.
His track record of keeping players isn't perfect, but is better than most. That could explain why the Blue Devils have reached this stage in 10 of the last 19 seasons.
Krzyezski said it's not a matter of "selling" a player on staying.
"It's a shared vision," he said.
"It's what's best for the player. I believe getting a taste of college is important."
Thus, for every Corey Magnette — the star who left after his freshman year in 1999 — Krzyezwski gets lots of guys like Duhon, a gritty senior who is gutting it through a painful rib injury in the tournament in hopes of capping off his career with another title.
"He's my first option. He conveys what I would like to have out on the court really well,"
Krzyzewski said.
"Don't call them role players." Hewitt said. "They're all outstanding players in their own
Likewise, for every Okafor at Connecticut — an All-American who could leave with degree in hand after just three years—there are many other guys like Jarrett Jack, a "signature recruit" of Hewitt's who stepped up with 29 points for the Yellow Jackets in the regional final when Elder barely played because of injury.
right. I give them a lot of credit for maybe accepting on some nights lesser minutes than they could be getting somewhere else."
The key, then, might be the ability to work as a team without depending on a star.
It's why Calhoun, Krzyzewski and Sutton probably will be better known than many of their players. But it also might explain why those coaches, along with Hewitt, have made it this far this year.

Yankees drop opener to Devil Rays
WORKERS
The Associated Press
TOKYO — Fans in the Tokyo Dome seemed surprised. The ones back in New York must have been shocked.
On the other side of the world, playing when the rest of baseball was in bed, the New York Yankees looked lost.
KRT photograph by Kathy Kmonicek/Newday The Yankees' Derek Jeter, Joe Torre and Don Zimmer watched the sixth inning of game five of the World Series on October 23, 2003.
Jose Cruz Jr. hit a tying home run that sparked a comeback, Tino Martinez put away his former team with his 300th career homer and the lowly Tampa Bay Devil Rays roughed up Mike Mussina for an 8-3 victory yesterday over the Yankees in the major league season opener.
league season opener People back home got up in the middle of the night to see this?
"Hopefully, it's 5 a.m. and not many people were watching." Alex Rodriguez said, thinking of when the game began, New York time.
Hideki Matsui had the first hit of the major league season, a first-inning double in front of the fans who adore their home-grown hero, and he scored on Jason Giambi's two-run homer to left.
The team that dominates the AL East couldn't do much in the Far East, getting outhit 15-7 and playing sluggishly in the field.
Aside from that, the defending American League champions seemed jetlagged against the younger Devil Rays.
"We don't look like we're that alive, yet," said Mussina, who
hasn't slept well since making the 7,250-mile trip last week from Tampa, Fla. "We need a little life, and we just didn't have it."
and we just then thank you.
In the second opener played by major league teams in Japan, Mussina looked as if he would have rather been back home in Montoursville, Pa. Trying to become the 100th pitcher with 200 wins, he gave up a broken bat, two-run single to Toby Hall in the fourth, then let Cruz tie it 3-all in the sixth with his homer.
Martinez, Julio Lugo and Toby
Hall followed with consecutive doubles for a 5-3 lead and chased Mussina, who took the loss.
Paul Quantrill got three outs on three pitches to end the inning, but left after his fourth pitch, when Rodriguez banged into his right knee trying to field Rocco Baldelli's bunt single leading off the seventh.
ing on the screen.
Victor Zambrano got the win for the Devil Rays, who have finished last in all six seasons they've been in the majors. He allowed three runs and six hits in six innings.
After the game, New York's clubhouse was subdued. Special adviser Reggie Jackson thought about how owner George Steinbrenner, who did not make the trip, would react.
"He won't be happy," Jackson said in perhaps an understatement.
In the other clubhouse, Piniella mentioned that the players of the game were rewarded.
"They gave Lugo a check and Toby a check," he said. "Where's the check for the manager?"

Philadelphia guard out for season
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Allen Iverson is out for the rest of the regular season.
The Philadelphia 76ers announced yesterday that their All-Star guard would miss the season's final eight games because of persistent pain in his right knee — the same injury that kept him out of 13 of the last 19 games.
"It was better now to sit him down so it doesn't linger a lot longer," Billy King, team president, said. "It's probably best to get it where his knee is 100 percent. It's not a situation where Allen doesn't want to play. His knee just keeps swelling up."
An MRI showed a small lesion under Iverson's knee cap, but there was no meniscal or ligament damage.
The injury comes with the Sixers in danger of being eliminated from the playoff race. Philadelphia was 10th in the Eastern Conference, three
VEGERS
games behind eighth-place Boston heading into last night's game against Golden State.
King said Iverson's health would be re-evaluated if the Sixers make the playoffs.
"Worse case scenario, surgery would be an option if it does not calm down," King said. "Rest and rehabilitation hopefully will do it."
The injury was diagnosed Monday by New York Giants team doctor Russell Warren, who Iverson consulted for a second opinion.
King said the swelling affected Iverson's movement and quickness.
his agent, Leon Rose, were not immediately returned. Iverson was at the arena before the game, though he was not on the bench against the Warriors.
Iverson has now missed 27 games this season, the most in one season during his eight-year career. The underachieving Sixers have been ravaged by injuries this season, enough to cost rookie coach Randy Ayers his job after 52 games. Interim coach Chris Ford has battled with Iverson since taking over.
Messages left for Iverson and
Earlier this month, Iverson refused to come off the bench in Toronto after he was told he was not going to start.
King said those clashes had nothing to do with yesterday's decision.
"He wants to play. What he doesn't want is people saying he doesn't want to play because of Chris Ford." King said. "He loves to play basketball."
Iverson, a five-time All-Star, continues to be the subject of trade speculation in Philadelphia. He signed an extension before the season that lasts through 2008-09.
Iverson was the NBA's MVP in 2000-01, when he led the 76ers to the Eastern Conference championship for the first time since 1983.
The Sixers have been playing well recently without Iverson, the NBA's second-leading scorer with 26.4 points per game. The Sixers have won seven of nine and had a six-game home winning streak going into last night's game.
"We've been playing without Allen for a while now in hopes he would be back," Ford said. "You just keep playing. The schedule keeps coming."
He is scheduled to play for the United States at the Athens Olympics in August.
Pitcher friends start spring training
The Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. — Scott Elarton and Shane Reynolds are close friends and hunting partners. Their performances this spring could hardly be more different.
Elarton cemented his claim as the No. 4 starter in Colorado's rotation, and Arizona's Shane Reynolds had another shaky outing in the Rockies' 7-1 victory over the Diamondbacks yesterday.
"I've never been a good spring training performer," Elarton said. "I don't know what this spring will translate into. I'm not going to read anything into it, but I'm definitely glad I had a good spring. I felt I made progress pretty much every outing."
Elarton missed the entire 2002
season after shoulder surgery and spent much of last year in the minors.
"It's great to see him doing so well." Reynolds said.
Elarton gave up one run on four hits through six innings, striking out two and walking one. He also drove in three runs with singles in the fifth and sixth. Elarton threw just 71 pitches, 44 of them strikes.
Rockies manager Clint Hurdle wasn't around to see any of it. He was ejected by plate umpire Casey Moser for arguing balls and strikes in the top of the first.
Reynolds, who entered with a 16.36 ERA, had skipped two starts to work on his mechanics and study videotape. In his first outing in 10 days, he allowed six runs on eight hits in five and two-
thirds innings, striking out five and walking three, one intentionally.
Reynolds, who tried out a new pitch—a cutter—that was effective against left-handed hitters, thought this 97-pitch effort was at least an improvement.
"The outcome?" he said. "No, but as far as going out there and pitching into the sixth inning and getting my pitch count up and having some confidence, I guess, that was a lot better for me than the last few outings."
Manager Bob Brenly said Reynolds remains a candidate for the No. 4 spot in the rotation, a position that seemed more secure for the right-hander when spring training began.
all along not to handicap this thing."
"Ask me again Saturday," Brenly said. "We've been trying
Brenly said that Reynolds' stuff was good but that he was missing some spots. He also said that a veteran pitcher who relies on finesse often struggles in the spring.
"I feel I'll be ready when the season starts," he said. "Spring training is so different than the season."
Reynolds said he remains confident.
Diamondbacks reliever Oscar Villarreal, pitching for the first time this spring after recovering from a sore elbow, gave up a hit in one scoreless inning.
Brenly said that barring any setback he sees no reason Villarreal won't be on the 25-man roster when the season begins.
NFL tries to block Clarett draft ruling
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - A federal appeals court will hear the dispute over whether Maurice Clarett can enter the NFL draft less than a week before it takes place.
The NFL tried yesterday to convince a three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that it should block Clarett's entry by staying the effect of a lower court judge's ruling that he be allowed in the April 24-25 draft, even though the former Ohio State running back is only two years out of high school.
The appeals panel instead agreed to set oral arguments for April 19 and suggested it might immediately rule whether Clarett can enter the draft, with a written ruling to follow explaining its reasoning.
NFL lawyer Gregg Levy told the appeals court he was satisfied with the plan.
"We want a decision before the draft. That's what's important to us." he said.
Pash said if the court rules in the NFL's favor before the draft, Clarett, Southern California sophomore Mike Williams and seven others would not be included.
Added NFL chief counsel Jeff Pash, speaking at the NFL meetings in Palm Beach, Fla., "We are very optimistic. We think it is a positive indicator of the seriousness with which the court of appeals is taking the argument."
Clarett's lawyer, Alan Milstein, convinced the appeals court not to stay the effect of the lower court ruling Tuesday, saying such a ruling would cause NFL teams not to take his client as seriously before the draft.
"They did not issue a stay," Milstein told The Associated Press. "They set forth an expedited briefing schedule. Nothing happened today that was unexpected. The court is just doing what it needs to do to work hard and get Maurice in the draft — and with plenty of time to do it."
minstein also rejected the NFL's suggestion Clarett would be unharmed if he was kept out of the draft by a stay, then permitted to enter a supplemental draft if the appeals court eventually rules in Clarett's favor.
Milstein said Clarett would lose leverage to negotiate a contract, as well as practice time and time to learn his new team's playbook, if he were not drafted in April.
Clarett announced his intention to enter the draft after U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin in February tossed out a league rule that a player must be out of high school three years for draft eligibility. She said the rule violated antitrust law.
The NFL then extended until March 1 the deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft.
If the league gets a stay, then loses the appeal, it will hold a supplemental draft for Clarett and the others within 10 days of that decision. Pash said yesterday.
But those players already have forfeited their college eligibility.
Ohio State suspended Clarett before last season for accepting money from a family friend and for lying about it to NCAA and university investigators.
In 2003, he rushed for 1,237 yards and led the Buckeyes to a national championship as a freshman.

Inflammation strikes out pitcher
The Associated Press
The Chicago Cubs will have to wait awhile before Mark Prior returns to the mound.
Prior probably won't pitch until May because of inflammation in his right Achilles' tendon and a stiff elbow.
"I'd say May 1 or the first week of May is optimistic," Cubs general manager Jim Hendry said yesterday in Mesa, Ariz. "He's a guy that I don't think needs more than three or four weeks to get ready."
Prior returned to spring training after spending Monday in Chicago, where he had an MRI and bone scan on his Achilles' tendon and right arm.
The 23-year-old right-hander has not pitched in a spring training game because of the Achilles' injury and was already expected to begin the season on the disabled list.
He had been throwing off a mound this spring, but he's also felt "stiffness" in his pitching elbow.
Both the Cubs and Prior said the MRI and bone scan showed nothing but inflammation in the heel and elbow.
"It was completely away from the ligament and was more down on the bone," Prior said, referring to the elbow stiffness.
Prior was 18-6 with a 2.43 ERA and 245 strikeouts in his first full big league season last year, finishing third in voting for the NL Cy Young Award.
His absence is a big loss for a stellar staff that also includes Kerry Wood and Greg Maddux.
In Dunedin, Fla., Pedro Martinez's final outing of the spring didn't last long.
Martinez has only five days to bounce back.
The Boston Red Sox ace was tagged for two homers and six runs before getting an out in a 13-8 loss to the Toronto Blue lays.
All six runs allowed by Martinez came in the first inning. He gave up eight hits, struck out five and hit Vernon Wells with a pitch.
"I'm fine, the best I have felt all spring," Martinez said in a statement released by the team. "I got my pitches in, in spring training results don't matter. I wanted to do 10 more pitches but the argument between innings took too long."
In Tokyo, the Yankees and Devil Rays prepared for the second game of their season-opening series. Tampa Bay roughed up Mike Mussina in an 8-3 victory yesterday.
"I think he is smart enough to
know it's Tuesday in Dunedin not Sunday in Baltimore," Boston manager Terry Francona said.
Texas outfielder Brian Jordan might start the season on the disabled list because of a sore left knee.
"There's a possibility for Monday, but it doesn't look good right now," manager Buck Showalter said in Surprise. Ariz.
Elsewhere, San Francisco acquired left-hander Wayne Franklin and righty reliever Leo Estrella from Milwaukee for two minor league pitchers. And Toronto traded outfielder Jayson Wertth to Los Angeles for reliever Jason Frasor.
Sweeney returns Royals get victory
The Associated Press
PEORIA, Ariz. — Mike Sweeney homered in his first at bat yesterday after missing four games because of tightness in his lower back.
Sweeney hit the two-run homer — his team-leading fifth home run during spring training — in the first inning off San Diego Padres' left-hander Sterling Hitchock. The Royals won the game 9-4.
"I feel healthy," Sweeney said. "I feel great. My swing is right where I want it. I just want to stay healthy and take it into the season."
His health is a major concern for the Royals because he missed 54 games last season with back problems and a herniated disc.
"I feel strong and confident that I'm going to be healthy," Sweeney said. "I keep doing my back exercises and doing my part, and just pray to God for good health. The rest is out of my hands"
Mike Sweeney Kansas City Royals player
"My swing is right where I want it. I just want to stay healthy and take it into the season."
"I was bummed I missed the last few games because of my back, but what can you do."
Sweeney has been working with hitting coach Jeff Pentland on fine tuning his stroke.
Left-hander Jeremy Affeldt retired the final 10 batters he faced after giving up a run in each of the first two innings to pick up the victory.
SELF: Coach focusing on future
CONTINUED FROM 1B
Giddens will leave, he will also receive similar information, but wil more than likely be back for his sophomore season.
"There is a lot of talk you sometimes hear from one or two people and then it becomes a rumor or a hot subject," Self said. "That's not a hot subject right now and if it became a hot subject then we would address it.
"J.R. is going to be a pro, but he has a chance to be a very high draft pick as opposed to a guy that just gets drafted. I think right now J.R. is really set on trying to become a better basketball player and that would lead to outstanding opportunities for him."
Self added that he wants Giddens to work on creating more offensive opportunities for his teammates and developing into more than an effective perimeter player.
He also said he has not ruled
out the possibility of adding some players from the junior college ranks. That decision will be made following Self's return from the Final Four, when he will meet one-on-one with each of his players to discuss their futures.
As far as cheering goes at the Final Four,it's not surprising who Self will be rooting for.
"I will pull for Oklahoma State to win because they are from the league and more importantly my alma mater," Self said. "I would have loved the chance to play them again because we didn't give them our best shot when we played them before. I think they will beat Georgia Tech."
