Swanson
As for now, Swanson is trying to pick up the new system. He's certainly unable after passing for
3652 yards and 27 touchdowns in the past two seasons. Mangino has repeatedly compared Swanson to Whittemore for his ability to improvise with both his arm and his legs. At 6-feet-tall and weighing 190 pounds, he also is about the same size as Whittimore.
As the competition heats up, Swanson said it's good for the team.
"I'm looking forward to it, and I know he's looking forward to it." Swanson said. "There's no animosity between us, it's just a friendly competition."
While those two are the most likely candidates for next season's starter, Mangino understands the need for

I-70 stop honors famed coach
The Associated Press
MATFIELD GREEN — For years, travelers who stopped along the Kansas Turnpike were told only that coaching legend Knute Rockne and seven others died in a plane crash near here on March 31.1931.
Now, they can get a deeper look into how Rockne lived — and died.
Seventy-three years to the day after Rocke's death, his family members were among more than 100 people who gathered yesterday to dedicate a new memorial at the turnpike's Matfield Green Service Area.
"I think it's fantastic, just fantastic," said Nils Rockne, Knute Rockne's grandson, who wasn't born when his grandfather died. "It's amazing that 73 years after his death people still honor and remember my grandfather."
The new memorial, located in the area's foyer, features photographs — including a life-size cutout of Rockne in his Notre Dame uniform — and excerpts from his speeches, both in print and on audio.
But for the record, Rockne's family members said, his first name was pronounced "Kuh-nute," not "Nute."
A bronze memorial plaque was dedicated in 1965, also at the service area. It was removed in 2003, when the area was renovated.
One dominating image, near the
entrance to the memorial, is a 7-foot blow-up of Rockne's face, printed in gold and black on canvas. It is overlaid with his famous "Win one for the Gipper" pep talk, immortalized in the Ronald Reagan film "Knute Rockne, All American."
The memorial also includes one of the steel propeller blades from the Fokker F10 that crashed when its wings iced up on a flight from Kansas City to Los Angeles where Rockne was to make a football documentary.
The plane went down in the Flint Hills of east-central Kansas, about three miles northwest of the service area.
Rockne, who emigrated from Norway when he was 8, starred for Notre Dame in football and track and later led the Fighting Irish football team to six national championships and a 105-12-5 record in 13 seasons.
Mike Kirsch, who worked up the exhibit based on computer designs from the Greteman Group of Wichita, said he wanted people to get a sense of how much Rockne accomplished before his death at the age of 43.
His.881 winning percentage is still the best among major college coaches.
"In the 15 to 20 minutes people spend here, I wanted them to get a sense of how monumental this man was," said Kirsch, of Image Resources Inc. in Wichita.
So in addition to listing Rockne's football accomplishments — he also helped popularize the forward pass as a player and introduced shifting formations as a coach — the memorial also notes that he was an honors graduate in
chemistry and touches on his lucrative sidelines as a motivational speaker and paid endorser.
Rockne, a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, is also credited with bringing Notre Dame to a level of prominence enjoyed by few other schools.
"I would hazard a guess that Notre Dame is the university it is today more because of Knute Rockne than because of anyone else," said Tim Brady of St. Louis, a member of the university's board of directors.
Also in attendance yesterday were family members of another man killed in the crash, sporting goods executive John Happer.
"We heard about this and said, 'We've got to come down,'" said Tammy Happer Scheier, of the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park. "We've got three generations of the Happer family here."
She said her grandfather was among those who had worked to get Rockne to make the appearance in Los Angeles.
A stone marker containing the names of all eight men killed still stands at the crash site. The Rockne family laid a memorial wreath at the site yesterday afternoon.
Royals rearrange line-up
The Associated Press
SURPRISE. Ariz. — Mike MacDougal, who saved 27 games as a rookie, will begin the season on the Kansas City Royals' disabled list, along with four starting pitchers.
MacDougal has not pitched since March 13 because of a stomach virus that caused him to lose 5 pounds and drained his strength.
"We can backdate it so
R
Royals
he would still be eligible to come off April 10th," general manager Allard Baird said. "I would like for him to have at least three games in the minor leagues. His weight is up to 184 pounds, but more importantly his strength is up."
Also opening the season on the disabled list will be right-handed starters Miguel Asencio, Runelvys Hernandez and Kevin Appier, who all had elbow surgery, and Kyle Snyder, who had shoulder surgery.
Appier will probably be activated in mid-April, while the other three are out for the season.
Also yesterday, left-hander Jimmy Gobble threw 36 pitches in a bullpen session, his first time since he strained an abdominal muscle.
"I felt no immediate pain," Gobble said. "They want to see how it feels tomorrow. Anything can linger after you get done throwing. You never know the soreness that will come when you start using every muscle in your body."
Gobble is 2-0 with a 1.42 earned run average in four exhibition games and was the leading candidate to be the No.4 starter before the injury. Gobble, 22, went 4-5 with a 4.61 ERA in nine starts last season.
Baird said Gobble, who had recovered from an abdominal strain last week, will be the No.4 starter. Gobble is scheduled to throw three innings Saturday at Houston in the exhibition finale.
In other roster moves, the Royals optioned left-handed pitchers Chris George and Jaime Cerda, right-handed pitchers Joe Dawley and Ryan Bukwich and outfielder David DeJesus to Class AAA Omaha.
In addition, the Royals reassigned right-handers Zack Greinke and Rudy Seanez.
The Royals are keeping outfielder Rich Thompson, a draft pick from the Pittsburgh Pirates, and utility player Mendy Lopez, who hit .277 in 52 games last season and started at five different positions.
Thompson, 24, has a career .287 average in four minor league seasons.
He is the only Royals outfielder who has the range to play center besides starter Carlos Beltran.
Thompson is also known for his defense, but has committed three errors in 22 games.
The team will open the season with seven relievers, four starting pitchers and 14 position players. The Royals will go to a five-man rotation when Appier returns, but will need a spot starter for at least a March 12 start.

Al Franken gives notable name to new liberal talk radio network
The Associated Pres
NEW YORK — Is it a radio business, or is it politics?
The two seem inextricably entwined for the leaders of Air America Radio, the liberal talk radio network that launched on five stations in the country yesterday.
As a startup media business, they need to draw in listeners fast. Air America Radio is betting that a menu of left-learning political commentary, current affairs talk and satire will resonate with those opposed to the Bush administration.
Al Franken, who is headlining the network with a daily three-hour talk show, has made no secret of his intention to use his
"Bush is going down, he is going down,he is going down.And we're going to help him."
Talk radio host
Al Franken
platform to influence the election in November.
"We are flaming swords of justice," Franken told a cheering crowd at a party to launch the network Tuesday night. "Bush is going down, he is going down, he is going down. And we're going to help him."
Franken's show went live at
noon on Wednesday with co-host Katherine Lanpher, a longtime host of a public radio show in Minnesota. At the opening, Franken joked that they were broadcasting from a bunker 3,500 feet below Vice President Dick Cheney's own secret bunker.
Cheneys In fact, Franken will be broadcasting his show, dubbed The O'Franken Factor in his latest jab at Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, from the slightly shabby station of New York City station WLIB.
"I don't think of it as a business, but I know it has to make money to be sustained," Franken said in an interview, perching his feet up on the desk after a rehearsal session for the show. "A lot of it is mission."
HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 1).
Your energy is high this year, but don't get too rowdy. You're liable to offend a gentle person or spend too much of your money. Enthusiasm is wonderful, but practice restraint.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 9.
Your enthusiasm can be boundless, but keep your lips zipped when it comes to financial matters. It's good to win big, but it's dumb to tell everyone what you have. Don't go on a shopping spree, either.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a7.
You're sensitive to someone's feelings, so you might be able to say something that the others have avoided saying. Be gentle yet firm. Tough love.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 7.
Your friends can be a distraction when there's work to be done. Don't forget to follow through on a promise you've made.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 5.
You're a stickler for the rules when it comes to money. You're not inclined to make a deal that you feel would shortchange your family. A wise friend won't even ask.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is an 8.
Be nice when an older person makes a ridiculous request. You won't gain anything by jeering or laughing out loud, and you could lose quite a bit.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 6.
This time of year can be irritating, as everybody expects you to bail them out of jams that they got into all by themselves. Ghn and bear it.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Today is an8.
Others may seem to be in control, but you have a lot of influence. Use that influence, not your precious resources, to achieve the goal you're after.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 5.
Keep a relatively low profile a while longer, and you'll see that you have more support than you
thought. Schedule a meeting for tomorrow.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 9.
You're a lucky one, no doubt about that, but don't push your luck too far. Have fun, but don't forget to do something you promised to do for a loved one.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 5.
A loved one knows what you're going through and sends prayers and compassion. Knowing that should make a difficult job a bit easier.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18) Today is an 8.
You're buzzing, but be careful.
Acting without thinking could have dire consequences. A family member who isn't talking has built up some expectations.
You'd be smart to find out what they are.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 5.

MEN'S GOLF
Winning season continues for team
By Eric Sorrentino esorrentino@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The No. 23 Kansas golf team won its second tournament of the spring at the Colorado-Stevinson Ranch Invitational in Stevinson, Calif, on Tuesday.
Kansas broke Stevinson course records for its 18-hole total of 280 strokes, 36-hole total of 562 strokes, and 54-hole total of 858 strokes. This is the sixth year for the California tournament. The Jayhawks have now won five Stevinson Ranch Invitational titles.
"We got the job done today." Kansas men's golf coach Ross Randall said. "We're pleased to get another win this season. It puts us in good shape in our district."
Kansas held off second place
Kansas State (861 three-round total) by three strokes and third place Iowa State (865 three- round total) by seven strokes.
Iowa State's Tyler Swanson took first place individually with a 206 three-round total (10-under-par).
Freshman Gary Woodland took fourth place individually and shot a three-round total of 211 (5-under-par). This was a career best finish for Woodland.
Kansas was led by senior Tyler Hall, who finished in a tie for second place with Kansas State sophomore Ben Kern. Hall shot a three-round total of 210 (6 under-par).
Junior Andrew Price shot a three-round total of 216 to finish in a tie for 11th. Freshman Tyler Docking finished with a three-round total of 222, while junior
Kevin Ward shot a three-round total of 225. Sophomore Pete Krsnich competed individually and shot a three-round total of 247.
"Today was a tough day with bad conditions, so the golf course played more difficult," Randall said. "We hung on to win even with some higher scores."
Kansas' record-setting, collective score of 280 in the second round was not overlooked, but Randall was focused on the tournament championship.
"I was pleased overall with the good scores we recorded." Randall said. "Hopefully things will work out well for us tomorrow. If we play well, we should be in good shape and have a shot at winning the tournament."
This mindset fueled the Jayhawks to two victories and a runner-up spot in the five tournaments they have participated in this spring.
Kansas men's golf will continue its season at the MacGregor Downs Country Club in North Carolina on April 9 to 10. The team will compete in the Intercollegiate at MacGregor Downs.
Kansas Women's Golf
The Kansas women's golf team finished in a tie for seventh place in a 17-team field on Sunday at the Mountain View Collegiate in Tucson, Ariz. The Jayhawks were led by sophomore Chelsey Pryor who shot a 228 total. Denver took first place, holding off both Iowa State and Colorado State for the title. Kin Welch of Washington State took individual honors, shooting a three-round total of 214.

After struggling in previous duty, Brian Luke broke out
Because of the need for depth, a battle is starting for the back-up spots. While the starting quarterback position is important, the backups will be only an injury or two away from entering the game.
The wild card in the equation is quarterback recruit Marcus Herford. The most versatile of all, Herford played quarterback, run-
depth. During the past two years, the Jayhawks have used seven quarterbacks. Last year, Kansas used four during a two game span.
against Oklahoma State last year, passing for 193 yards and two touchdowns after Barmann was injured. Luke's great size and strong arm brings extensive backup experience to the position. John Neilsen was 8-12 passing for 33 yards in the Kansas State game. Joe Hogan has also been playing well this spring and could compete for one of the backup positions.

The person the Jayhawks choose will have the chance to work with an experienced backfield and wide receiver corps that will return all of last season's starters.
Mangino said it may be a year before Herford is ready to compete.

SIMIEN: Weighing options important for NBA decision
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
which takes place June 1-4, traditionally the make-or-break stop on the road to the NBA Draft.
Should Simien be able to dominate, he guaranshes himself a shot at a lottery pick. That means that should be one of the top 14 players selected in the draft, he guaraneshes himself roughly $8 million over the course of a three or four-year contract, not counting endorsements.
And should Sinien go to Chicago and flop, there would be no cause for shame. Last summer, St. Joseph's guard Jamee Nelson declared for the draft after his junior season but declined to sign with an agent. He went to the Chicago camp and got schooled. Nelson made the decision to return to the Hawks. He then was named the Naismith National Player of the Year and had the Hawks within two points of a Final
Four appearance last weekend.
Now, he's projected to be taken within the first 12 picks of the NBA Draft. Nelson has said how much being at the Draft Camp helped him.
Would Simien flop? Probably not. Would Simien be the camp's MVP? Probably not. Whether he sets himself up as a sure-fire fire pick or just learns what it will take to do it next summer, going to Draft Camp would be the best step for him to take this off season towards his professional goals.
Of course, there are tons of common objections to the suggestion that Simien should go pro.
The first regards Simien obtaining his degree. It's not like it would be impossible. Vince Carter and Shaquille O'Neal, two of the NBA's biggest draws, are among many who left college early for the NBA and were still able to graduate. Both summer
and online courses make finishing a degree easier these days.
And there is the significance of Simien's loyalty to the University of Kansas. Everyone knows the heart warming story of how Simien attended Roy Williams' camps since he was a boy and never dreamed of considering a school other than KU.
The biggest asset Simien has should he leave to go pro is a good head on his shoulders. Simien told the Kansas City Star earlier this month about the occasional partying of his first two years in Lawrence. But he also gave the story of how he was saved and devoted his life to the Lord this summer. He said he felt born anew, and had led the life of a model citizen ever since. Simien would be a positive addition in any NBA locker room — not the type of guy you have to worry about getting
into club fights, a la Drew Gooden.
And Simien's three years of college basketball are appealing to a veteran club looking to go towards a youth movement or a young team looking for a veteran type of rookie. It's an especially rare quality in a draft with six to eight high schoolers being projected to enter their names.
Wayne Simien is at a crossroads in a favorable, though stressful position. He has two worlds in the palm of his hand. One would allow him to etch his name in stone as a legend in one of college basketball's greatest programs. The other offers hedonic pleasure plus financial security for life.
As fun as life would be in Wayne Simien's shoes, just be glad this is not your decision to make.

many runners on base in the first five innings. Nebraska squandered several chances they had to bring its runners home.
In the fourth inning, Nebraska sophomore outfielder KoKo Tacha reached base on a walk. A hit to right field was bobbled, but Tacha ignored her base coach and stopped at second. The next batter lined to straight-away center. Tacha, however was unable to come home.
Freshman hurler Kassie Humphreys recorded six strike outs in six innings of pitching. Kansas' best chance to score came in its half of the fourth inning. Sophomore infielder Ashley Goodrich made it to first on a walk as a pinch runner for sophomore pitcher Serena Set-
tlemier, brining senior catcher Mel Wallach to the plate.
Wallach hit a ground ball to the infield. Wallach and Nebraska junior Anne Steffan collided at first base, leaving both players on the ground. As Steffan was on the ground, Goodrich advanced all the way to third. The next at-bat, Goodrich was caught in a squeeze on a failed bunt by the Jayhawks.
Nebraska scored three runs, one earned, in the top half of the sixth. Humphreys walked one, and an error at third base allowed this to occur.
The not-quite-final score of the game was 3-0 after six innings. The Jayhawks will play a double-header against Creighton tomorrow. The first game will start at 2 p.m.

Tomorrow Today
By Cal Creek, Ashley Marriott, and Jessaca Massey, Jayplay writers
For past generations, the 21st century represented untapped potential and promise as well as ominous unseen dangers. The predictions they made still affect our ways of life today.
The dawn of the Millennium has come and gone without promised flying cars and meal pills that were so highly touted pre-Y2K. What did happen to all those futuristic inventions and ideas that were supposed to have been unveiled four years ago?
Writer Eric Lefcowitz says that many of these ideas were more of space-age optimism. "When 2000 came around, the future was already retro," says Lefcowitz. Lefcowitz did his research on the myths of the future era and brought us www.retrofuture.com, a Website devoted entirely to exploring and demystifying those burning "retro future" questions.
He says that the future was more than just zany technology and ideas that we only see in the movies. The future meant a different way of life. "The future was either perceived to be the best of times or the worst of times," he says. "People were trying to push for a better world." Lefcowitz says that many of the future ideas that companies came up with marketing tools. Here's just a few great, but far-fetched future ideas:
The Plastic House
You come home from work and the dog has left paw prints on your new couch. No problem, you tell yourself as you get out the gardening hose and spray off the furniture. By the 1950s plastics were gaining popularity in the home. According to Yesterday's Tomorrows, a book by Joseph J. Corn and Brian Horrigan, Disneyland

SAVING YOUR LIFE.
built a "House of the Future" in 1957 that consisted of all plastic. People believed by the year 2000, houses would be built after this model and there would be a drain in each room so a housewife could clean with a hose. She could also wash the dishes down the drain because they were made of dissolvable plastic and she could take her used nylons to a chemical factory to be converted into candy. Hungry, anyone?

The Airphibian
You're going to Florida for vacation, but you live in a small town and there's no airport close by. So you hop in your car, drive to the nearest cornfield and with the push of a button, wings non out of the sides
of your car. Voial You're ready for take-off. According to Yesterday's Tomorrows, by Joseph J. Corn and Brian Horrigan, by the 1930s and 40s people expected to see "an airplane in every garage" because of its popularity during World War II. A 1946 advertisement for an airphibian prototype announced that even a woman could convert a car to a plane in five minutes, says Kathleen
PILOT

Human Cloning
Are your children obnoxious? Unintelligent? Or just plain lazy? It's probably because of your spouse's genetic material. Imagine if you had a child that was made exactly in your image. You could raise yourself and erase all your mistakes.
Since cloning was first conceptualized by German scientist Hans Spermann in 1938, it has been a hotly debated topic. Over the past 60 years people have come forward numerous times claiming to have cloned the first human. Aldous Huxley's Brave New World in 1932 provided a bleak and ominous view of mass conception, but today's public opinions on cloning have been greatly affected by those who have bent the truth.
Journalist David Rorvik sparked a controversy when his book In His Image: The Cloning of a Man was released. Though it turned out the story was a hoax, Rorvik's account caught the front page of many newspapers and put cloning in the public limelight. Written in 1978, Rorvik's book was based on the work of previous scientists, like John Gurdon, who cloned frogs in 1962.
Since then several people have claimed to have cloned humans, from the Raeleian sect (a religious cult that believes humans are the clones of alien lifeforms that visited Earth millions of years ago) to geneticists in South Korea to US-based scientist Panos Zavos. Most of these claims are shot down by other scientists. While this futuristic approach to reproducing and medical treatment seems to be on the horizon it's hard to say when if it will ever reach fruition.
Everybody agrees work sucks, so does analytical thinking. But within the wonderful world of robots no one will ever have to work, or even think hard again. At least that would be the case if you believed scientists from the 50s and 60s or popular works of fiction, such as sci-fi guru Arthur C. Clarke's Profiles of the Future and 2001.
A.I. (Artificial Intelligence, not the disappointing Spielberg Movie)
The debate about computers that could think for themselves began at a 1956 meeting at Dartmouth College, says Arvin Agah, associate professor of the department of electrical engineering and computer sciences.
Scientists became overexcited and made predictions about robots that were off by a factor of four, meaning if scientists said a project would take 10 years to develop, than it would really take 40 years, Agah says. The delays occurred once scientists moved on from making the robots solve simple problems, like stacking blocks, to trying to the robots real life problems, like how to clean up a room.
More misconceptions flourished once filmmakers and writers got a hold of the
idea. People watch movies like Terminator 3 and expect robotics to be at that level, but it's not, Agah says.

A Step Back In Time
No electricity, no cars, no problem: Yes, an Amish community can be fun.
By Lauren Bristow, Jayplay writer
How many Amish people does it take to change a light bulb? None! (Amish religious beliefs forbid the reliance on technology, so they don't use electricity.)
When fast-paced college life starts to wear on you, here's a day trip that is sure to slow you down. The Amish settlement of Jamesport, Mo., is a two-hour drive from Lawrence and a century's step back in time.
10:52 a.m. I head out the door with my Mapquest directions, an old Jamesport tourist map thanks to my mom- and a mixed CD of my favorite road trip music. The visions of warm, gooey cinnamon rolls have been filling my head for the past hour. On my last visit to Jamesport, my mom and I found the best bakery.
Horse and buggies, a Mayberry-esque main street and a slower paced life are just some of things that draw tourists to Jamesport each year. Great shopping, excellent restaurants and interesting people make them return. Home to the largest Amish settlement in Missouri, Jamesport is about 100 miles northeast of Lawrence. When Amy Slaughter, Leavenworth resident, visited last year, she wasn't sure how fun it would be. "There are so many unique things that I've found here — like bulk bags of Lucky Charms marshmallows — that I just have to keep coming back." Slaughter found her marshmallows at H & M Country Store, an Amish-owned bulk grocery store just south of town. The store is one of about 22 Amish-owned shops that offer everything from fresh-baked breads and cookies to bulk groceries and hors shoeing. Non-Amish merchants also sell antique candles and other crafty merchandise.
12:28 p.m. — After a quick stop for gas in Cameron, Mo., I jump back on the interstate for the last leg of my journey. Cameron offers the last major signs of civilization, so stop and get gas if you need it, from Cameron to Jamesport stations are few and far between. I'm singing along to Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl when I first realize that I'm in Amish country. A yellow caution road sign warns me about
"Horse Drawn Vehicles" and sure enough, the green rolling countryside is missing the all-too-familiar power lines.
About 165 Amish families call Jamesport home, according to the Jamesport Community Association. The Amish religion forbids its followers from relying on technology such as electricity or automobiles. Farming is still done with horses and horse-drawn farming equipment. You'll be able to identify the Amish by the clothing they wear. Men wear either black or straw hats, denim blue shirts, black pants and suspenders. Women are always in dresses and bonnets. Buttons are considered technology, so womens' dresses are closed with stickpins. "Tourists usually aren't sure how to treat or talk to
the Amish people," says Joe Benge, owner of
the Amish people, says Joe Benge, owner of Farmhouse Collection, a non-Amish-owned store in Jamesport. "Treat them like you would any other person. Just because they dress differently and have different beliefs doesn't make them different. You wouldn't treat a Baptist any different than a Methodist, and that is the same for the Amish."
Benge and his wife Pam first visited Jamesport during the fall about 10 years ago. As they drove through the countryside they watched as Amish farmers harvested using old-time techniques. "The saw mills around here are run just like they were in Little House on the Prairie. Horses drag the cut trees into the mill." After that visit, the Benges decided to move. "It's just a slower paced life," he says. "People really like it here."
1:07 p.m. I park my car on the almost deserted Broadway Street, the main non-Amish business district in Jamesport. A community association spokesman has told me it's not quite prime tourist season yet. The town will start to pick up as the weather is consistently warmer. After a quick stop at City Hall for an area map with store listings and directions, I head to my beloved cinnamon rolls. The Mennonite-owned Gingerich Dutch Pantry and Bakery features a daily buffet with homemade savories, fresh-baked pies, cakes and cinnamon rolls. My waitress, Bonnie, helps me make my list of must-sees for this trip.
"it's like you stepped back in time," says Jodie
Winfrey, Prairie Village resident. On their first visit to Jamesport, she and her husband, Brad, stopped in the antique and candle shops on Broadway Street before heading out of town for the Amish experience.
How many Amish people does it take to change a light bulb? None!
"We wanted to get away from the hustle of Kansas City and just check this place out," she says. "But I'm a little discouraged, I haven't seen a horse and buggy yet." Winfrey and her husband were searching for the Amish country bus tours. She'd heard from a friend that the tour is a great way to find stores hidden in the countryside.
As the Winfreys disappeared into a store, the sound of horseshoes hitting pavement filled the air and a black enclosed buggy stopped at an intersection down the street.
"I really think the
Amish gets tourists here first," says Benge. "But the businesses bring them back."
And Lou Anderson agrees. She and her husband, Bob, have been making the drive from Des Moines, Iowa at least four times a year to buy candles and antiques on Broadway Street. But the Amish community sparked her curiosity four years ago and triggered their first visit. "It's just absolutely fascinating to see how the Amish live," she says. "It's something so different from what we're used to these days."
2:03 p.m. I check my map and decide to head south of town to Slaughter's beloved H & M Country Store. A black buggy is blocking the highway ahead of me reducing my speed from 50 mph to about 25 mph. Normally this would irritate me, but the slower paced life and my Amish curiosity drew me back to this town. So rather than fly around the buggy, I slow down and enjoy the powerline-less scenery around me.
Amish stores are closed on Thursdays and Saturdays, so plan your trip accordingly. Also, leave your camera in the car. It's against religious beliefs for the Amish to have their picture taken. For more information on Jamesport, check out the city's Web site at www.jamesport-mo.com or call the Community Association at (660) 684-6146.

ADD: (The Silent Distraction)
by Meghan Bainum, special to Jayplay
Attention Deficit Disorder, and its friend, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, are starting to be diagnosed in college-age men and women at a higher rate than in the past. Often thought of as a disease affecting mostly young boys, it is becoming clear that paying attention is a problem with no age limit. There are several specific signs to look out for.
First, for people with ADD or ADHD, even the most interesting subject matter cannot quite hold their attention long enough for them to gain true understanding. After all, it's easy to not pay attention to something boring, like an 8:30 a.m. class on the wonders of statistical analysis. Less-than-fascinating classes always seem to take place at an unholy early hour, before even God him or herself arises for the day. Most people can't even walk or talk straight before 9 or 10 a.m. at the earliest, much less be able to pay attention to some long-winded rambling lecture on the differences of rocks or how to solve differential equations. After all, is it even possible to solve differential equations, even under the best of conditions?
But sometimes it's the best of conditions that also make attention slip away like a snake under a rock. Snakes are always slithering around in the strangest of places. It would be so strange to be a snake, snaking around in the woods. It's interesting to think of whether poisonous snakes know they are poisonous, and if they have to be careful of somehow biting themselves. Say a poisonous snake bit its own tongue, would it be poisoned as well, or is there some kind of natural immunity? It would be so interesting to know what a snake was thinking about as it basked on a sunlit rock, enjoying the nice spring air, or maybe a snake doesn't really enjoy nice days like people — oh yeah — yet another reason why attention is sometimes hard to come by.
People on lovely, warm days (much like snakes) would probably rather be sunbathing on some toasty, warm rock than paying attention in class or at work. At least human beings don't have to be concerned with dying from biting their tongues. Yikes, that's something that'll get your attention — chomping down on a tender part of the mouth while eating is never fun. You know there have had to be instances where somebody has taken a chunk out of their own tongue or mouth just

because they weren't paying attention while chewing.
Which could probably be another sign of ADD or ADHD, if you think about it. For people who truly have attention problems, even simple things that require attention can go very wrong. Like, say someone with ADD or ADHD was getting dressed. Now, while someone without ADD would quickly go to the closet, select an outfit that looks suited for whatever activity is at hand, put it on, then go about their business, someone with true attention problems might end up wearing only one sock, or two different pairs of shoes, or a bathing suit with knee socks.
But it's impossible to tell just from looking at someone whether they truly suffer from any attentional problem, or if their style is just the latest trend from New York City or somewhere else equally as stylish. Especially now that everything seems so done, it's necessary to push it a little to be truly
So, as you can see, it's not always easy separating true ADD or ADHD from normal, everyday occurrences of snakes, knee socks and differential equations. While some people obviously suffer from attention problems, others are just caught in the normal, human experience of not always knowing exactly what is going on and just not caring enough to try and figure it out. Life is a constantly random thing with or without ADD. There's so much crazy stuff that goes down daily it's a wonder people focus as well as they do. With all the constant new
ahead of the fashion-trend pack. Knee socks with a bathing suit might just be what all the hip kids are wearing out to shows, and only that one very forward thinking person in Lawrence has that figured out.
Maybe in the future, style will be based on putting together totally random clothing items to evoke some sort of futuristic explorer-trendsetter personality, and nobody will be worried about things like matching or business-appropriate attire anymore. Then it'll be like the movie Blade Runner or something, with everybody totally doing their own thing. Knee socks might even be obsolete by then, after all.
experiences it is possible to have, maybe those with a short attention span have got it right, not wrong.
After all, there's a word for people who stay on task, do what they're supposed to do when they are supposed to do it, and are never unorganized or flighty. That word, folks, is boring.

The Unwanted Roommate
How to deal when you don’t like your roommates significant other hanging around
By Lindsay Kiliper, Jayplay write
photo illustration: Amanda Kim Stairrett
Your apartment is littered with trash. The remote is gone and so is your roommate. In her place is an unfamiliar person. Who is this strange person? Are they squatting or simply visiting? Either way, your roommate's significant other is ruining your life.
Chances are that at some point you will deal with a roommate's or a friend's significant other whom you dislike. It's hard to know the right way to handle an awkward situation when that significant other is taking over your living space and your friend. Whether you choose to discuss the issue or ignore it, the first priority is to figure out why you have those feelings and how you are going to deal with them.
It is important to spend time with the couple in an attempt to get to know the significant other. Figuring out the true basis of the dislike for the person should be a main goal says Laura Talley, Lawrence psychologist. Talley says that if you know that, you will be able to talk to your friend. "Make sure you're diplomatic in your presentation so it doesn't make your friend become defensive in the answer." Talley says your friendship depends on the amount of effort you put into it. Talking could help resolve some of the high emotions.
Not all people feel comfortable talking about their feelings to the offending couple. Christa Molinaro, Edmond, Okla., sophomore, was angry with her roommate this summer when she allowed her boyfriend to move in without paying the bills. Molinaro repeatedly woke up to her roommate having sex with her boyfriend and was frustrated with the trash he left all over the house. Molinaro dealt with her anger by ignoring the situation and her roommate. "We never invited her out because we felt she disrespected us. I didn't like her because her boyfriend was living there and she allowed it. She was loyal to him and not to us. She didn't ask if he could live there once."
Unless there is danger in the relationship, keeping your mouth shut is a good idea, says Barrie Arachtingi, Lawrence psychologist. Arachtingi says that it is important to figure out the cause of your dislike, but that revealing your feelings will only cause your roommate to become defensive and side with the person they're dating. Her advice is to try to spend more time with your roommate because jealousy is often an issue. "There needs to be recognition that it's your friends life, not your life, and the best thing you can do as a friend is be supportive even if you don't like the choices they are making," says Arachtingi.
Whether you choose to say something or remain quiet, you should feel comfortable in your living environment and with your friendship. Arachtingi says many friendships are longer than college relationships. "With college-aged students, the likelihood of a breakup is high. If you get mad at your friend and then they break up, then the friendship is broken too." Remember you are friends for a reason, regardless of the significant other.

Q
My girlfriend wants me to shave ALL of my pubic hair. Should I do it, or just trim?
Mike, Junior
a
Chris: Your girlfriend probably got crabs while she was cheating on you and doesn't want to give them to you. I'd shave it all off, sleep with her a few more times and dump her.
Elizabeth: Normally I would say to just trim, but since she wants it shaved give it to her. If you give her one of her fantasies, she'll owe you one of yours. And if she ends up not liking it, remember it'll grow back.
Q
I was surprised to hear that some of my friends have had anal sex. I think it's gross. Am I a prude or what?

Rachel, Senior
Elizabeth: Even the thought of anal sex grosses me out too! If you aren't comfortable with the idea, it's okay. And you're not a prude for thinking it's gross.

Chris: You're not a prude for thinking it's gross., but it is something your friends enjoy. I can't speak from first-hand experience, but I think hetero people do anal to add spice to their relationship. And it seems to be popular with the gay guys. So maybe you should try to expand your horizons.

Who will win and who will lose if the lights go out in Lawrence.
By Laura Kinch, Jayplay writer
At about 11:30 p.m. on a Friday night most Lawrence bars are hidden underneath a low-lying cloud of cigarette smoke. The music is pumping and you take a sip of your icdy cold Miller Lite and a nice long drag of your freshly lit cigarette. As you inhale the first stream of smoke, you finally begin to relax after a long week of hard work. You can't wait to spend the night drinking, smoking and socializing with your friends. To your dismay, this nightly ritual may be a thing of the past. The city of Lawrence is considering a smoking ban which would prohibit smoking in bars and restaurants. With the future of all unit cigarettes uncertain, most Lawrence smokers are left fuming.
The image provided does not contain any text or content. It appears to be a grayscale background with some scattered black spots.
While hitting the club with friends, one can become attracted to working in such a happening environment. The bar scene can provide a perfect place to earn some extra money while not missing a single beat of the Lawrence nightlife. Nicole Polley, Plymouth, Minn. senior has worked at The Hawk, 1340 Ohio, and The Cadillac Ranch, 2515 W. Sixth St., for a year. The Ranch is smoker-friendly but the Martini Room at The Hawk is smoke free. The Martini Room was added to the Hawk in the fall of 2003. The bar is located on the lower level of The Hawk and comes complete with an extensive martini menu, sophisticated wooden décor, large leather lounge chairs and — most importantly — a non-smoking policy.
Polley says she enjoys working at both establishments but after working a typical six-hour shift at The Ranch, she notices the impact of secondhand smoke. "At the end of the night it irritates my eyes they get red and my contacts get dried. When you go outside at the end of the night you reek." Pollev says.
On the other end of the spectrum, she finds the Martini Room to be pleasant to work in because of the non-smoking policy. "It's nice going home at the end of the night not smelling like smoke," Polley says.
She thinks that customers are not used to the non-smoking policy in the Martini Room and changes such as stricter smoking laws and fines in bars would have to be made if the ban were enacted through out Lawrence. "I think a lot of people smoke when they go out and smoke socially. The ban would be hard for them to regulate," Polley says. "In the Martini Room, people sometimes still light up and we have to tell them to put it out."
Only one accessory can compliment Jessica Robbins' cranberry and vodka: a cigarette.
Robbins, Lawrence senior, is a smoker and says she does not see herself changing her ways. "I think that non-smoking bars and restaurants are crap. Smoking is legal and you should be able to smoke if you want to," Robbins says. Despite newer establishments like the Bella Lounge she thinks that no bar should be totally non-smoking. "I don't think there should be a totally smoke-free bar. There should be somewhere to smoke like an area outside or a section of the bar," says Robbins. She has visited the Martini Room at The Hawk and was not aware of the non-smoking policy. "I've been to the martini room and I smoked a cigarette, I wanted to smoke and nobody told me to put it out," Robbins says. She says she didn't think about the smoking policy because she was so used to lighting up when going out to bars. Robbins says that the majority of her friends don't smoke, but she says that smoking is such a norm at college bars that most non-smokers get used to the atmosphere. "I sometimes feel bad smoking around my friends that don't smoke, but bars are busy and everyone else is smoking so it really doesn't matter," Robbins says.

I'll just leave it as is. It's a very dark and blurry image, so I can't be sure what it's showing. It looks like a person holding a cigarette. The background is dark and indistinct.
You're Toxic
The Truth
moke Busters
College-aged bar customers will often avoid a bar because of long lines or high drink prices. But Christopher Baker, Kansas City, Mo. senior has to deal with another inconvenience. "When I get around a lot of smoke, my throat gets scratchy and it itches a lot. I start to cough and my eyes water. It's unpleasant," Baker says. Baker is the fiancé of Jayplay editor, Maggie Koerth. He is allergic to dust and secondhand smoke, which makes his choices for going out on a Friday night that much more limited. "I try to avoid places like Henry's because it's so smoky," Baker says. He says that usually when the atmosphere is too smoky, he is forced to leave. "To me, it would be nice to have some of the bars smoke-free. I don't like telling a business what to do, but I personally don't like the smoky bars. I'm more pro-Bella Lounge," Baker says.
Some think because non-smokers are not directly inhaling smoke, they're not affected. The truth is that secondhand smoke is harmful. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) secondhand tobacco smoke is a carcinogen and contains more than 4,000 chemical compounds. More than 60 of these are known or suspected to cause cancer. Judy Keller, executive director of the American Lung Association Kansas and member of Clean Air Lawrence, works with the task force to provide current health information.
"We're mostly concerned about employees of bars and restaurants. Why should they be considered secondhand citizens?" Keller says. She notes that as little as 30 minutes of inhaling secondhand smoke constructs blood flow and effects the body's circulation.
"It's extremely harmful. Every health organization and even Philip Morris acknowledged the cancer causing effects of secondhand smoke." Keller says.
Non-smokers exposed to secondhand smoke absorb carcinogens such like nicotine just as smokers do. The more amount of time they are exposed to secondhand smoke, the greater the level of harmful compounds that are introduced into their bodies.
In April 2003, Lawrence Mayor David Dunfield appointed a task force to study the issue of secondhand smoke. Clean Air Lawrence consists of health professionals, business owners and bar owners. After a year of research, the citizen's task force is scheduled to meet on March 31 with the city commission. The group will present its findings including studies on the health consequences of smoking and the economics of a smoking ban on Lawrence businesses. Possible solutions to the smoking situation are:
- Allowing smoking at bars and restaurants that are already smoker-friendly.
- Creating a ban with exceptions, such as specific times when smoking is prohibited
- Creating architectural or mechanical separations
- Several more specific options that are dependant on the size and type of business, number of employees and number of patrons.
David Kingsley, a member of the task force, says that despite mixed reviews, the ban will prove to be effective. "Right now most restaurant bar owners are against it because of the loss of revenue at the beginning. It takes a year or two years for the businesses to get used to it and customers really don't mind going outside to smoke," Kingsley says.
College towns such as Arizona State University in Tempe, Ariz. and Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind. have passed non-smoking bans similar to the one being considered in Lawrence. Kingsley spoke with business owners in both cities and says that after time, the ban had a positive effect. "The revenue loss was true everywhere at first, but now people are settled in and it's not costing them any money," Kingsley says. "Patrons are happy and employees are happy."

Bella Lounge
Rob Farha owns the non-smoking Bella Lounge, 925 Iowa St., and The Wheel, a smoker friendly bar at 507 W. 14th St.
O'Henry
The one-of-a-kind Bella Lounge emits the feeling of the 1960s Rat Pack, from the muted lighting to oversized plush chairs. For those who enjoy sipping a martini while listening to the soothing sounds of jazz, this bar is missing one central prop: clouds of cigarette smoke.
Opened in May 2003, The Bella Lounge is the only non-smoking bar in Lawrence. "I opened Bella to give people a choice," Farha says. Farha doesn't think a smoking ban is necessary because the Bella Lounge already gives non-smoking customers the option of a smoke-free bar.
Farha says that after close to a year after opening, business is average. "I don't have a line around the corner," he says.
Employees at Bella Lounge say they have enjoyed the smoke-free atmosphere when working.
"It's really nice to know you don't have to go home and shower when you get off of work," says Casey Harbour, an employee at Bella Lounge.
When looking for somewhere to smoke a cigarette and have a cup of coffee, the doors at Henry's are wide open. Smoking is permitted in both the coffee shop and bar of Henry's. Henry's owner, Dave Boulter says that smoking is a choice and is concerned with the possible ban's constitutional conformity.
"When did the government feel like they have the right to take your choices away? It's a basic right and a crucial decision to ban smoking because they don't want to ban the sale of cigarettes, yet they will ban smoking." Boulter says. He says the freedom of choice is one solution to coming in contact with secondhand smoke. "Overwhelmingly, customers smoke and there are other alternatives in Lawrence and other coffee shops that are non-smoking. We have a choice of a non-smoking coffee shop 30 steps away: Café Nova," Boulter says.
The apprehension of losing revenue is another concern to area businesses. Boulter was recently in Colorado and spoke with bar owners at the University of Northern Colorado, where a non-smoking ban was passed. He says that bars lost 30 percent of business when the ban was enacted. Boulter says that when that ban went into effect, customers just went outside city limits, to house parties or stayed home.
"To me, it's a time when the economy isn't good and the cities don't have a lot of money. There's not enough money to fix the sidewalks and light poles in front of Henry's, let alone enough money to pass a law that will lose revenue," Boulter says. Shawn Gerrity, owner of Henry T's Bar and Grill, says the ban will have a negative impact on Lawrence businesses. Henry T's sells a total of 55 percent food and 35 percent liquor every year in comparison to a chain restaurant like Chili's that sells 80 percent food and 20 percent liquor. The percentages show that the majority of Gerrity's profits go to drinkers, who are often smokers.
"If enacted, the ban would drop sales five percent, which would be enough to close us down. It really hurts local restaurants that depend on liquor sales," Gerrity says. In response to the smoking concern and to make sure the business remains profitable, Henry T's has made additions and improvements to the restaurant. The restaurant added an ionizer, which filters out smoky air and replaced all heating and air conditioning units.
The ventilation changes made at Henry's might not suffice if the ban is passed. Look for more information on decision of the possible Lawrence smoking ban in today's University Daily Kansan.

Just When You Think You're Safe...
One friend's clock with an alarm: $0. Ketchup packets: $0 at McDonald's. The pained look on your friend's face when they realize itis April Fool's Day: Priceless.
By Elizabeth Marvel, Jayplay writer
You've been trying to get the recommended eight glasses of water a day and the pristine white porcelain toilet bowl is calling to you as you walk into the bathroom. You sit down, only to hear the popping noise two seconds too late as you're covered in a red, slimy substance. Examining the crime scene, you find folded ketchup packets under the seat. Cursing, you try to clean yourself and hear giggling from outside the bathroom door.
"April Fool's!" your roommate shouts as she scampers away. Too bad you didn't realize what day it was.
We know that April Fool's Day is a day to play pranks on friends and relatives, but where did it come from? In France, around 1580, the New Year was celebrated in accordance with the vernal equinox, says Jerry Wilson who runs www.wilstar.com, a Web site that contains historical information about holidays. It ran from March 25 to April 1, and on April 1, people would celebrate the New Year much like we do today, with parties and revelry. This changed when King Charles IX adopted the Gregorian calendar system that we use today.
The new calendar made New Year's Day Jan. 1, and though this change took effect immediately, word traveled slowly, and it took years for the new calendar to take effect throughout all of Europe. Some people refused to celebrate on Jan. 1, and were called fools for their insolence. Many were sent on "fools' errands," and were the butt of jokes and pranks. This tradition continued and spread to England and Scotland in the 18th century. From there, it spread to the American colonies and today it's considered an international holiday.
In the spirit of April Fool's Day, I set out to play pranks on my friends. Here are the pranks, how to set them up and the reactions of my victims.
Warning: I wanted to keep my pranks fun and not malicious. These pranks won't physically harm your victims or cause much mental or emotional pain, but there may be possible embarrassment.
Prank 1: Crazy Icons
What you need:
*The victim's computer
*An easily downloaded program from many computer prank sites on the Internet. Try www.computerpranks.com for some heart stoppers.
F
*About five to 10 minutes with the computer, depending on the connection speed.
What you do/What it does:
The program that I used is called Crazy icons. You install it on the victim's computer, and it causes the desktop icons to randomly move around the screen. This is a great way to convince your victim that her or she has a virus on his or her computer. The program puts an icon in the system tray that will shut off the program, and tell the victim they've been pranked, so it's fairly easy to end this one.
The Reaction: I put this program on a friend's computer, and I thought it was funny as I watched the icons randomly move about the screen. When I saw him the next day, he didn't mention it. Finally, I asked him about it, and he said he thought it was a virus, until he found the icon in the system tray and turned it off. He didn't seem too flustered by this prank.

Prank 2: Condiment Calamity
What you need:
*A toilet seat that will eventually see some action.
*Two to four ketchup packets (easily obtained from Wescoe Terrace or any fast-food joint)
A quick visit to the john.
What you do/What it does:
This prank has the potential to be very messy and irritating. First, fold each ketchup packet in half for maximum pressure, and place one under each bumper on the bottom of the toilet seat. Leave the bathroom and wait for your victim to discover the unhappy combination of ketchup on skin.
The Reaction: This prank is probably the meanest of the three. I didn't think I should do this to my friends, and I certainly couldn't do it to people! don't know because you could damage your victim's clothing. But, if you're up for a mean prank, this is the one. Keep in mind that this will only work well on girls. It's a dead giveaway when a guy lifts the toilet seat and ketchup packets fall into the toilet bowl.
Prank 3: The Alarm Clock Prank
What you need:
*A victim who uses an alarm clock.
*The alarm clock.
*10 seconds alone with the clock.
What you do/What it does:
This one is easy and a classic. Just set your victim's alarm for an hour after they usually get up. If your victim's alarm usually goes off at eight a.m., set the alarm for nine. Or, if you're not willing to make someone late, set the alarm for an hour before they wake up. This is sure to cause confusion, and it's relatively harmless.
The Reaction: I set an ex-roommate's alarm for an hour after it usually goes off. He told me that he woke up, got ready, and was about to leave the house, when he looked at his cell phone and realized he was late for class. So, he says, he went back to bed. He wasn't too angry when he realized it was for a good cause.

o the big poster sale at the Kansas Union at the beginning of every semester isn't doing it for you anymore. I get it. Knowing that seemingly every off-campus house in Lawrence has that same Dave Matthews poster adorning at least one wall of the living room makes you want to run screaming down Jayhawk Boulevard, begging for something original. And as for that Ramones t-shirt that you used to think was pretty cool? Think again. Any poseur with $30 to spend could go pick one up at Urban Outfitters, even though their only

actual exposure to the band is a Nokia cell phone commercial. I feel your pain.
If you can relate to either of these scenarios, or a similar situation, keep reading. Even if you can't relate, keep reading. Maybe you'll learn something. As it turns out, the remedy to all your pain inflicted by clichéd, over-marketed music memorabilia is just a mouse click away. Wolfgangsvault.com may be just what you're looking for.
The story behind Wolfgang's Vault, although initially tragic, ends happily. It begins with a helicopter crash and the untimely death of music impresario Bill Graham in 1991. Graham, in his time, was one of the greatest rock and roll concert promoters in the business. For nearly 30 years, Graham and his company, Bill Graham Presents, promoted concerts for the biggest acts in the business: The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, The Who, and more recently, Dave Matthews Band, The White Stripes and Phish, just to name a few.

What no one knew until his death, however, is that Graham was saving and storing various memorabilia from all the concerts he promoted. Upon his death, the warehouse in San Francisco that he stored all these goods at was found. The discovery was simply mind-blowing: more than 22 million items from nearly 17,000 live shows with more than 10,000 performers represented within the collection. Included in the trove are concert t-shirts, posters, tickets, backstage passes, programs almost anything imaginable — and all originals.
With nowhere to go with all the merchandise, in October 2003, Bill Graham Presents decided to start Wolfgang's Vault. "We're really just putting the items back where they belong, into the hands of the fans," says Michael Oldenburg, spokesman for the company. Items on the site range in price from just a few dollars up to, and in excess of $3,500. There are still many great pieces that are $50 and below, though, Oldenburg says.
Although there are a few items on the site that aren't for sale, you'd be hard pressed not to find something you like. Almost every performing rock act of the last 40 years is represented. "It's just really cool because you can find stuff here that you'll never be able to find anywhere else," says Gordon Wright, company spokesman. "And it's all vintage, all original."
Be the first kid on your block to do it. Originality, as you'll find out, is a powerful thing.

Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London PG,93 minutes,South Wind 12
Cody Banks is a blond-haired, blue-eyed miniature James Bond. Whether he is training in simulated missions at CIA's Camp Woody or snooping around in halls and on roofs, his new movie is action-packed and entertaining.
The story begins when Banks unknowingly helps his power-hungry camp counselor to steal mind-control software. Recovering the software before it is used to control international officials' minds and policies falls to Banks, so he goes undercover as a clarinet player at an international band camp in London. But the counselor quickly recognizes Banks, and he becomes the first to fall under the control of the software. Will he be able to regain control and save the world?
Frankie Muniz (Cody Banks) is a cute, naive agent. The highlight of the movie is the final fight scene, which flashes from an instrumental rendition of "What is it good for" to the destruction of antiques in the midst of an artful Karate fight. The movie is great for kids, and parents will enjoy the gadgets.

Secret Window PG-13, 106 Minutes, South Wind 12
Spartan
Secret Window lights up the screen as the most recent, and perhaps best, adaptation of a Stephen King story into a movie.
Secret Window doesn't settle for the obvious conclusion of a final showdown that typical murder flicks do. In fact, this ending is somewhat unexpected. Depp, coming off Pirates of the Carribean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, does a job in Secret Window that may be worth Oscar consideration later on down the line.
It is the tale of Mort Rainey (Johnny Depp), a successful fiction writer who sleeps up to 16 hours a day and is going through a messy divorce. As he sleeps on his favorite couch, a stranger rattles at his door, interrupting his peace. The stranger, John Shooter (John Turturro), accuses Rainey of stealing one of his stories, "Secret Window," and won't leave him alone until he gets his version of retribution. Rainey denies the accusation, so an unconvinced Shooter goes on a murderous rampage against everyone Rainey knows.

Famous playwright and director David Mamet made headlines in August of 1998 when thenPresident Bill Clinton, up to his neck in the Monica Lewinsky scandal, ordered an air strike on Afghanistan — a weapon of mass distraction that closely resembled Mamet's screenplay for Wag the Dog.
Similarly, Spartan, Mamet's uneven but ultimately compelling new political thriller, has a ripped-from-the-front-pages immediacy. The nation is on high alert, terrorists are waging "World War III" and the president is going to extreme lengths to frame the issues at the start of his reelection campaign. Sound familiar?
The film stars Val Kilmer as a high-ranking Marine looking for a nationally beloved coed who may have been kidnapped by an international sex slave ring. Mamet usually stays two or three steps ahead of the viewer, which becomes a mixed blessing in Spartan because much of the first part of the film is confusing. Also, it's weird to see Kilmer, Iceman from Top Gun, perform Mamet's stylized, rhythmic dialogue. His performance improves in the second half, though, and so does the film, which gets a lot of mileage out of William H. Macy's shadowy government figure.
Spartan will probably improve on a second viewing and is worth seeing for a great American writer's take on uneasy times.

EI-P
High Water
Juggernaut producer EI-P brings an ambitious project to the table with High Water. It features the Blue Series Continuum, a group headed by noted jazz pianist Matthew Shipp. Gone are the dense and intense soundscapes that populate El-P's work with Company Flow and his stable of Def Jux artists, replaced by a tasteful and sometimes inventive aesthetic of arrangement. El-P's arrangements are interpreted nicely by the Blue crew, but his stamp is still noticeably all over the project, as he employs some of his favorite techniques to create a synthesis that's like a mall escalator of cool: going up slowly, with a vague destination in mind.
"Get Your Hand Off My Shoulder, Pig" is the closest that EI-P allows hip-hop to get to this album — it's rooted in blues and packs some serious drum breaks. The magnificent "Sunrise Over Brooklyn" evokes exactly that feeling, and EI-P's father (billed as "Harry Keys") waxes Louis Armstrong over some trademark phasers on "When The Moon Was Blue." I hope EI-P will continue to put out projects like this — it's a welcome expansion for both hip-hop heads and jazz lovers alike.
Visionaries Panges
Grade: B+
The lyrics here illustrate their views on often-overlooked issues such as global unity ("Pangea") and speaking out for what you believe in ("Broken Silence"), just to name a couple. Rhettmatic produces some great grooves here that are just strong enough to carry through some of the more forgettable songs on this monstrous 17 track set. Give this album a spin if you want to hear the West Coast underground's best kept secret.
"Pick up your spirits, lead by example/ hold your ground, don't get trampled..." This is the strong, positive vibe echoed by the Visionaries, one of the most culturally diverse hip hop crews, on their third release Pangea. Based out of Los Angeles, the home of similar artists Jurassic 5 and Aceyalone, this group consists of a total of five emees rhyming over beats provided by DJ Rhettmatic (Beat Junkies).

Xiu Xiu Fabulous Muscles
After listening to the third album from Xiu Xiu in as many years (with 2 EPs on top of that), you have to applaud their prolific output but wonder: what if they spent more time on their albums instead? While Fabulous Muscles is tighter and more developed than last year's A Promise — it has high highs and it also has low lows. The first two tracks, "Crank Heart" and "I Luv the Valley Oh!" are as good as you'll hear anywhere, but other songs suffer from uninspired arrangements and awful lyrics. The worst piece, "Support Our Troops," is unforgivably bad and about the worst diatribe on our recent war I've heard from either side. With all the potential they show, I can't help but be disappointed with this album, but a handful of really great songs help redeem it.

PIMPLE AIN't EASY
By Guillaume Doane, Jayplay writer
The zit on my nose could have its own area code. Not really. But once paranoia takes hold of your mind, there's no telling what you'll believe.
I woke up a week ago and felt a discomfort invading my space. I rushed to the bathroom only to be welcomed by its gruesome sight. It was the size of a pea — a round, red dome glowing with anger and protruding from my snout. "How could this happen?" was my first thought as I began to realize that I'd never had a zit of this magnitude. People had always commented on my clear, soft, girlish skin, which for some bent reason I'd always taken pride in. I could not show myself in school with this vile blemish on my face. My classmates would ridicule me at once. They'd all be pointing and laughing and maybe some would even be screaming in disbelief. Even worse, maybe they'd banish me from their sights. Maybe my monstrosity has reached such an exorbitant level that they'd shun me from society, forcing me to live in dark alleys or attics like some modern Quasimodo. "Get a grip," I thought. This is no time for paranoia. The zit must be destroyed.
I again stepped in front off the mirror facing it as if I was dueling against myself in some gun showdown at high noon. I bent forward and attempted to pop the pimple, squeezing it from every angle and bursting it into submission. But the pain was too foul, too extreme for any luck. I glared back into the mirror and the zit appeared to be laughing at me, taunting me for my failure to end its existence.
New methods needed addressing to cast out this beast of burden. Could I spray Windex on it, as did the wise father in My Big Fat Greek Wedding? Then again, neither modern medicine nor arcane druid remedies could exorcise this demon. Drastic measures would have to be taken. Perhaps weapons of mass destruction were the answer, maybe napalm. Because it goes without saying that we couldn't let this beast of rancor get loose. There's no telling what it would do. Most likely, it would run us down like animals and kill us all. My zit must be destroyed.
I opted to take my chances and attend school despite the spawn of Satan on my nose. As I arrived at my first class, the jitters of embarrassment began run down my spine. I could tell some people refused to look at it, staring at the ground while they greeted my presence. The individuals who dared to look at the zit had even more drastic reactions. Some people shuddered in fear when they scoped even a mere glimpse of my abomination — as if I was the elephant man. "Look away, I'm hideous," I wanted to tell these people as I attempted to veil myself from their sight and escape into seclusion. Others couldn't help but stare it, meticulously studying it like geologists awaiting the eruption of a volcano on some obscure Pacific island near the Galapagos. "Get away, find some shelter," I responded to these imbecile scientists. "Don't you remember what happened with Mount Vesuvius?"
Illustration: Scott Drummond
"Maybe I was overreacting," I thought. It was possible that my paranoia had reached such an excessive level that I couldn't even rationalize a clear thought. I stepped in front of a mirror to scope out the situation and I realized that it was just a zit, an unsightly mark on my nose. We put such a premium on appearance these days that even the slightest imperfection makes us want to jump out of windows. Not for me though, not this day. This zit was a gift, a campfire story I'll one day tell my children while we roast marshmallows. I learned to love my pimple.
The zit wasn't the enemy. It was all those frightened individuals who shunned its existence are the enemy. It wasn't the pimple that was the problem, but it was the people that couldn't accept it and me for who and what we are. My zit had been loyal to me all this time, traveling with me everywhere I go. People would kill to have a companion as dependable as my pimple. I embraced it for its undeniable beauty, its radiance. I'd exalt it as the eighth wonder of the world and build a museum for it. People would surely accept it then. They'd pay five bucks a head to race through the turnstiles and marvel at its greatness. My zit, the mecca of the world, would unite humanity and bring them to a common bond.

Lord Wads to focus on TV show
2003 candidate wants to maintain involvement in Senate elections
By Andy Marso

There's something missing from this year's Student Senate election. There's no gleam of armor, no clash of jousters and no visions of being king of the University of Kansas.
Basically, there's no Brett Wadsworth
Baskey, a.k.a. Lord Wads, is the Overland Park senior who formed a third coalition last year and took on more traditional politicians from Delta Force and KUnited in a long-shot crusade for student body president.

Lord Wads and the 12 Knights of the Crusade got 184 votes, losing to KUnited by more than 2,000, but bringing a spirit of adventure to the elections. They wore armor, capes and makeshift crowns and hosted a jousting tournament using PVC piping in place of spears and bikes in place of mighty

Last spring, Brett Wadsworth, Overland Park junior, jousted with Peter Thornhill, Mission Hills freshman, on the lawn of Strong Hall. Wadsworth said that the jousting activities were to attract attention to last year's campaign for election as student body president.
Drew Thomas, holdover senator, ran against Wadsworth with Delta Force last year and said the Lord Wads campaign brought attention to the election that wasn't there this year.

Story by ANDYMARSO
On Saturday, Feb. 7, a man in a gray sweatshirt and blue jeans approached K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall about 10 p.m. The hall was locked, but the man saw a resident milling around in the kitchen. He knocked on the door.
Amira, like every scholarship hall, is a community of about 50 residents where everyone knows everyone else. The resident didn't recognize the man, so he asked what he was doing. The man said he was there to see "Chris" on the second floor. There were two men named Chris on that floor, so the Amini resident told him to go ahead.
told him to go ahead.
The man went to the second floor and knocked on doors. If residents answered, he said he was there to see Chris, and they told him he had the wrong room. But they didn't watch as he went to other rooms. In four rooms no one answered, and there the man carried out his true intentions. He stole a PlayStation, games, Palm Pilots, a CD player and other items.
Amiini residents came home to find their belongings missing, the victims of a burglar who took advantage of their community's open nature. No one blamed the resident who had let the burglar in.
"He did more than a lot of people would even do," Mike Khadavi, Amini president, said. "Most guys' halls don't put much emphasis on making sure guests are with residents."

Weight control project to expand

By Matt Rodriguez
modriguez@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A new program at the University of Kansas is shifting its weight to the center of the state.
Control Research
The Weight Project, led by Joseph Donnelly, exercise and weight management researcher at the University, plans to expand its program to Hays and Salina within a year.
WEIGHT
LOSS HELP
"Kansas does not stop at T o p e k a , " Donnelly said. "We will attend to the rural section as we can."
Anyone interested in learning more about the Weight Control Research Project may call (785) 864-0782 in Lawrence or (913) 588-9422 in Kansas City.
Donnelly has a background in obesity and weight management research and has used his expertise to help people lose weight since 1984.
Donnelly has one clinic in Lawrence and three in the Kansas City metro area. Donnelly said the program had a combined 250 members at the four locations.
Participants in the program must be overweight but otherwise in good health. The program's goal is to help participants lose 20 percent of their body weight.
The program is in high demand, with a waiting list of more than 500 people.
william J. Crowe, Spencer Research Library librarian, went from a size 52 suit to a size 40. It's taken him three years to go from 297 pounds to 168 pounds.
"It doesn't turn you into a health fanatic, but rather a healthier person," Crowe said.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway lost 55 pounds when he was on the program. He said he felt like a healthier man.
"Your body is changing for the better because you're losing weight you no longer have to carry along with you," Hemenway said.
Donnelly's program shows that the University is a research school that does a great job teaching research and servicing the community, Crowe said.
The program is a year-long process that starts with a liquid diet and ends with a healthier lifestyle. Participants meet weekly for the first six month, for an hour and a half every night. After the first six month, the group gathers twice a month.
The program costs $1,500. Donnelly said this was cheaper than other commercial diets, which could cost between $4,500 and $5,000.

Relocating bar looks to reopen after 'glitch'
After being closed for the past two nights, Rick's Neighborhood Bar and Grill hopes to reopen today. Rick's had been ordered closed by a writ of restitution.
A document posted on the door at 623 Vermont declared that the occupants had 10 days to remove themselves. The order was dated March 30.
Owner Rick Younger said the bar had encountered a glitch as it prepared to move out of its current location, but did not want to discuss it.
"Instead of ranting and raving, we are just taking care of it," he said.
Rick's was scheduled to move from its current location at Sixth and Vermont Streets to 846 Illinois Street, where Dodson's Liquor and Keg used to be. in a The University Daily Kansan article in February. Younger said his bar had to be out of its Vermont location by April 20.
First Management, which owns the building occupied by Rick's Place declined to comment on why Rick's was shut down.
The law firm representing First Management, Pendleton and Sutton, also declined to comment on the issue. District Two Judge Jack Murphy, who issued the restitution, could not comment on the matter.

Preliminary hearing date set for accused arsonist
A preliminary hearing for David Ryan Jay has been set for May 21 in Johnson County District Court. Jay,23, is charged with two counts of arson in Johnson County. Yesterday was his second court date, but his first appearance in the courtroom. On March 26 he had a brief trial, but appeared via closed-circuit video.
Jay turned himself in to police in California on March 15 in relation to more than a dozen fires that were set in Douglas and Johnson Counties between March 7 and March 11. More charges are expected to be filed against Jay.
Jay is in Johnson County Jail. His bail is set at $1 million. A hearing on April 20 will determine if that bond should be lowered.
Concealed-carry bill passes through House to governor
—Neeley J. Spellmeier
TOPEKA—Legislation allowing Kansans to carry concealed handguns cleared the House yesterday and went to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who said she would prefer a narrower bill.
The measure would require the attorney general's office to issue a concealed-carry permit to any Kansan 21 or older who is a U.S. citizen, pays a $150 application fee, has no mental illness or drug or alcohol addiction and completes eight hours of training.
As amended by the Senate last week and approved by the House on a 78-46 vote yesterday, the legislation would allow concealed weapons in the Statehouse, school parking lots and restaurants that serve alcohol. But many other venues would be off-limits.
Sebelius said she would prefer to limit the right to carry concealed guns to retired law enforcement officers and would probably not sign more permissive legislation.
Legislators can override a governor's veto with two-thirds majorities in both chambers. The bill had cleared the Senate by a veto-proof margin but received six fewer House votes than would be needed to override a veto in that chamber.
Under the bill, concealed guns would be banned in schools, city halls, courthouses, state office buildings besides the Capitol, the Kansas State Fair, bars and taverns. Businesses and individuals would be able to post signs banning concealed guns, and violators could be charged with a Class B misdemeanor.
Supporters of the bill contend that the measure would allow law-abiding citizens to protect themselves. Opponents predict it would lead to more gun-related violence.
Only Kansas, Illinois, Nebraska and Wisconsin do not have some type of concealed-carry law.

is it true that the Kansas Capitol building is the largest capital building in the US?
Several states claim to be the tallest state capitol building, including Texas, Louisiana, and Kansas. The national capitol building in Washington also claims to be the tallest, but only by a few feet. However, once the "Ad Astra" statue was added in the summer of 2002, the Kansas Capitol officially became the tallest.

Powwow provides insight
By Jodie Krafft

The sounds of bouncing basketballs in Robinson Center will be replaced with drums tomorrow, when the First Nations Student Association hosts its 14th annual Spring Pow Wow.
In addition to drums, spectators at the pow wow can see traditional dances, a contest among professional dancers, food and authentic art and jewelry from vendors.
A pow wow is a gathering of different Native American nations for ceremonial and social purposes, said Olivia Standing Bear, co-president of the group.
"It's an opportunity for us to bring Native American awareness to the community" Standing Bear, Pawhuska, Okla., senior, said.
The pow wow is an experience of Native-American culture, said Joseph Erba. The Calenzana, Corsica, senior is not of Native-American descent but is specializing in Native-American studies and is a member of the First Nations Student Association.
POW WOW

■ Who: First Nations Student Association and the University of Kansas
■ What: Spring Pow Wow
■ When: 7 p.m. tomorrow
■ Where: Robinson Center
■ How much: Free and open to the public.
Source: First Nations Student Association
"The more I talk to Native Americans, the more I realize that I don't know anything." Erba said. "I want to see what it's all about."
Standing Bear said about 1,500 to 1,700 people attended the Pow Wow in previous years and she was expecting a similar number this year. The event begins with a grand entry led by the color guard of the Haskell Veterans Club, followed by hours of dancing.
Standing Bear said spectators would see several types of dances, including straight and fancy dances. Straight dancing is done by moving the feet while standing up straight, and fancy dancing is done by moving the feet while bending over. Dancers also wear feathers on their arms and outfits when fancy dancing. Standing Bear said.
The total cost to host the pow
wow is about $12,000, said
Mekko Tyner, Tulsa, Okla., second-year law student. The pow
wow committee co-chairman
said Student Senate contributed
$5,000 and members of the group
raised additional money.
Tyner said he hoped students who attended the Pow Wow would learn something new about Native-American culture and traditions.
"They can see a little bit about Native Americans, and hopefully they will have an appreciation of Native Americans," Tyner said.

Guinea wraps up music weekend

Kansan staff writer
Les Ballets Africains will be cutting a rug in the name of international musical awareness Sunday.
The national dance company of the Republic of Guinea, will be performing at Liberty Hall, 643 Massachusetts St., to bring a close to the week-long World Music and Cultural Diversity Festival.
Local dance troupe the New Native Dancers will open the show.
INTERNATIONALMUSIC AWARENESS
General admission tickets for the show, which starts at 5 p.m. are $7 while seniors get in for $3.
University of Kansas and Haskell University students will receive free admission to the performance with valid identification.
Henry, the first ever ethnomusicology professor at the University and founder of the festival, said he started the event as a way to open international music to a larger group.
This is the second year that Clarence Henry, professor of ethnomusicology at the University of Kansas, has organized the show.
Who: National dance

What: World Music and

Source: School of Fine Arts press release
"I want the students to enjoy these different kinds of music," Henry said. "And I want the people of Lawrence to experience it as well."
The theme of this year's show is Local and Global Connections. Les Ballets Africains epitomizes this theme. Henry said.
"Cultures are formed by music, because they use music to convey different emotions and make statements about a society," Henry said. "This group itself represents the culture of Africa and of Guinea."
Henry decided to start the event after receiving feedback and encouragement from students in his world music classes.
He said that he was surprised
with the reception of various kinds of music among his students and that the event could offer that feeling on a larger scale.
During the past week, there have been several concerts and workshops related to the event at the Kansas Union.
The music of Japan, Greece, the Middle East, Lithuania and Brazil have been featured during the week, as well as Lawrence's local music and America's hip hop culture.
Events associated with the concert will continue all day today at the Kansas Union and a Pre-World Music and Cultural Diversity Concert will kick off tomorrow at noon at Alderson Auditorium in the Union.
Today's events start with a hiphop workshop at 11 a.m. in the International Room and come to a close with a Lithuanian vocal and piano concert at 7:30 p.m.

The week of international music finishes on Monday with a Meet the Artist session with Les Ballets Africains.

MTV 'Famous Face' bad for society
People want to look like celebrities. They cut their hair. They buy celebrity fashions. They attempt to duplicate celebrity makeup.
But what was once walking into a hair salon and asking for a "Rachel Green" haircut has now taken a new shape.
People are walking into the offices of plastic surgeons and asking for Britney Spears' breasts or Brad Pitt's chin. They want a famous face.
MTV recognized the growing trend of plastic surgery in young adults to duplicate features of models and movie stars. And so they started the documentary

treatment. The pop music and special effects detract from the reality of the series.
One of the girls featured on the series underwent breast implant surgery to look like Julia Roberts in Erin Brokovich. Although the implants were made of saline, the silicone chill of the implants soon made her sick. The documentary shows her having them removed, after finding out that the effects are common.
But the series shows many more positive scenes. The Brad Pitt twins and the Britney Spears
impersonator all love their new looks.
Although plastic surgery seems extreme, wanting to look like someone famous is natural, said Francis DeSalvo Jr., director of Counseling and Psychological Services.
"Celebrities are marketed to represent the ideal," DeSalvo said. "There is a natural inclination of everybody to reach that ideal."
But for young, impressionable viewers to understand the costs of undergoing plastic surgery to reach that ideal, MTV should use a serious tone, instead of adding pop music to entertain.
MUSIC OF MY MIND
Progress means keeping activism alive
"What we gonna do? Save me and my brothers/?Hop inside the bed and pull over the covers/Never will we do that, and we ain't tryin' to rule that/We just want a slab of the ham, don't you know, black?" — Q-Tip (of A Tribe Called Quest), "Push it Along" from the album, People's Instinctive Travels & The Paths of Rhythm
COMMENTARY
Shortly before the break I ran across a group of students camping out to raise awareness about women's issues, and as the reluctant spring yielded lower temperatures earlier this week, I met a group of men fundraising for homelessness. Though these were not world-changing occurrences, it was inspiring to see the honesty and concern with which those few students took to the campus.

There needs to be more of that this season. In this world where issues such as theirs — the struggle for gender equity and the war on poverty — are all connected to each other, and in some very direct ways to us, we need more of a lot of things.

all people lies stifled under the weight of our inability to talk through the issues that polarize us, the example set by students who force us to confront the realities of American life on a daily basis is an example that we cannot live without.

It means understanding first that we have not made it. It means knowing that our collective worship of the Colin Powells of the world has blinded us to the reality that in America, there are not bootstraps strong enough to consistently pull oneself out of the situations in which many Americans live. It means knowing ultimately that hard work isn't always enough.
who are less fortunate deserve to be where they are. In terms of extending access to the American dream to all folks, what does progress even mean in a world that believes "anybody who can work hard enough can be the next Bill Gates?"
Exactly a month ago, Janny Scott of The New York Times reported that nearly half of the black men in New York City were unemployed. With those kinds of statistics, if New York was located south of the equator, it would be considered a third world country.
Though we can look at yesterday and talk about when times were visibly worse, we are certainly not living at the pinnacle of civilization now.
There are still issues deserving of our attention.
Regardless of why such widespread
Someone would certainly declare a state of emergency. Focus groups would meet, and if drugs were the problem, aggressive rehab programs would be instituted. If education was the issue, schools would be established, and if healthcare was the culprit then wellness programs would be erected.
unemployment exists, one cannot help but to wonder what would happen if such a statistic were true of white men in New York or of all the men in Lawrence.
Have we really reached the point where the life of a person in one region of the country is worth less than the life of a person in another, or have we been here all along?
Progress means not being afraid to talk publicly about such conditions. Progress means recognizing first that none of us want people anywhere to be homeless or jobless. Progress is knowing that such simple commonalities make us American, and it is realizing that reminding folks about those commonalities is what makes us a community.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Abortion numbers misused
The number itself is indeed correct; there are more than 1 million abortions conducted in the United States every year,40 million since Roe v. Wade.
In the column, "High abortion rate reason to change stance," in Tuesday's Kansan misused statistics.
But, if these abortions were not permitted to occur, what would happen to the more than 1 million women who are each year faced with an unwanted pregnancy? The thinking behind that might be that there will be less pregnancies if abortion were outlawed; that people would be sexually moral from then on. Kind of like killing two birds with one stone.
We all should know better than that; people are not going to stop having unprotected sex because we ask them nicely not to, no matter what the risks, and we certainly can't police them.
So here's another question: if more than a million unwanted babies are born each year, what will happen to them? Will some of them perhaps be beaten, underfed, molested or otherwise abused? Probably. Will some be the children of teenage mothers living in impoverished conditions? Probably.
I am not saying poor people cannot have babies; I am merely saying they should not be forced to have babies they do not want. After all, babies have to be fed and clothed and taken care of until they are 18, then they can decide to go to college (for $80 thousand) or get a job that will not likely pay them well. What about adoption?
Yes, I myself was adopted, but the problem is the sheer number; where will you find 1 million families per year willing to adopt children? Shall we ship the children overseas?

Where you see 40 million dead, I see 40 million who never had to suffer, never had to be abused or neglected or mistreated. I also should like to add that I feel the remarks about the Holocaust were inappropriate and insulting. These aborted children are never conscious to be shipped in trains to death camps. When referring to abortion, you ought to choose your words more wisely.

Jackpot open, more work to do
By Dave Nobles
dnobles@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Abby Dillen
It may not have a sign yet, but the Jackpot Saloon and Music Hall, 943 Massachusetts St., is open and swinging with bands.
Travis Pesnell attended to patrons Wednesday night at the Jackpot Saloon and Music Hall, 943 Massachusetts St. Jackpot opened last week at the old La Tasca location.
Since its grand opening on March 23, the bar has had nine bands perform on its stage.
Nick Carroll, owner of the Jackpot and the Replay Lounge. 946 Massachusetts St., said he planned to have acts perform at the bar at least 15 times every month, with DJs on nights that no band was scheduled.
The opening of the saloon was surprising, Carroll said. He had about two hours notice that he was able to open, but within two hours of opening the doors, there were more than 100 people at the establishment.
"We're doing just fine, even without a sign," Carroll said. "During spring break, I didn't think anyone was even in town, it wasn't been a lot busier than we thought."
The Jackpot Saloon will have live music all weekend.
In addition, the bar will play host to the Farmer's Ball, a band competition put on by KJHK, April 21 to 24. Carroll said that he was excited to host the show, and that it would be an "experimental" 18 and over show.
The saloon usually operates as a 21 and over establishment, but Carroll thought it was important for as many people as possible to enjoy the show. Brett Mosiman, owner of The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., said that the Saloon's presence in Lawrence was a welcome addition to the local music scene.
"I think it will fill a niche in the music scene here," Mosiman said. "It will help develop local
and regional acts so we can have better shows at The Bottleneck."
Carroll said that there was a great deal of work left to do at the bar before he would consider it complete.
He said that he would be adding local art to the bare walls of the bar to create a more comfortable feeling.
"Our goal is to keep improving the aesthetics of the place," Carroll said. "It's a continuing work in progress."
Improvements have already been made on the sound system and stage, Carroll said, but he plans to continue until he feels that the work is done.
"We've made some good progress, but we've still got a long way to go," Carroll said.

Dying languages could kill cultures
By Joshua Kendall
jkendall@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Languages are disappearing at a shocking rate and with their exodus, cultures face the same extinction, said Akira Yamamoto, professor of anthropology and linguistics.
The Asian language Mongue related to Mongolian, may soon disappear completely.
The most alarming estimate by his colleague Michael Krauss at the University of Alaska says that out of 6,818 languages, 90 percent will be
extinct by the end of the century.
"We as linguists are not trying to save the languages, we are not missionaries. We are trying to work with these communities to reciprocally educate and enrich our knowledge and skill," Yamamoto said.
Linguists like Arienne Dwyer, professor of anthropology, fear that the death of languages limits the range and understanding of how humans express themselves.
Within a language is all of the culture passed down from generations that make languages the storehouses of cultural knowl-
"The plants, animals and tools associated with the culture's human survival are inevitably recorded as part of the language system," Yamamoto said.
A culture's values, religion and world view shine through the words and structure of a language. Dwyer gave the example how important accuracy of information is in Monguor, which she studies and teaches as a fieldwork in linguistics class. When the language is gone, the cultural information is either lost forever or has to be pieced together through archeolo-
ical remnants, Yamamoto said.
Yamamoto has followed the epidemic of dying languages during the past 30 years and has helped to pioneer academic movement that brought attention to endangered languages. As English spreads like wildfire, the cultures of dying languages cannot be near-sighted, Yamamoto said.
"A language shift is taking place very,very rapidly,and these cultures particularly need to look for the future generations," Yamamoto said.

Since its grand opening on March 23, the bar has had nine bands perform on its stage.
Nick Carroll, owner of the Jackpot and the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., said he planned to have acts perform at the bar at least 15 times every month, with DJs on nights that no band was scheduled.
The opening of the saloon was surprising, Carroll said. He had about two hours notice that he was able to open, but within two hours of opening the doors, there were more than 100 people at the establishment.
"We're doing just fine, even without a sign," Carroll said. "During spring break, I didn't think anyone was even in town, but it's been a lot busier than we thought."
The Jackpot Saloon will have live music all weekend.
In addition, the bar will play host to the Farmer's Ball, a band competition put on by KJHK, April 21 to 24. Carroll said that he was excited to host the show, and that it would be an "experimental" 18 and over show.
The saloon usually operates as a 21 and over establishment, but Carroll thought it was important for as many people as possible to enjoy the show. Brett Mosiman, owner of The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., said that the Saloon's presence in Lawrence was a welcome addition to the local music scene.
"I think it will fill a niche in the music scene here," Mosiman said. "It will help develop local
and regional acts so we can have better shows at the Bottleneck.
Carroll said that there was a great deal of work left to do at the bar before he would consider it complete.
He said that he would be adding local art to the bare walls of the bar to create a more comfortable feeling.
"Our goal is to keep improving the aesthetics of the place," Carroll said. "It's a continuing work in progress."
Improvements have already been made on the sound system and stage, Carroll said, but he plans to continue until he feels that the work is done.
"We've made some good progress, but we've still got a long way to go," Carroll said.

Dying languages could kill cultures
By Joshua Kendall

Languages are disappearing at a shocking rate and with their exodus, cultures face the same extinction, said Akira Yamamoto, professor of anthropology and linguistics.
The Asian language Monguor related to Mongolian, may soon disappear completely.
extinct by the end of the century.
The most alarming estimate by his colleague Michael Krauss at the University of Alaska says that out of 6,818 languages, 90 percent will be
"We as linguists are not trying to save the languages, we are not missionaries. We are trying to work with these communities to reciprocally educate and enrich our knowledge and skill," Yamamoto said.
Linguists like Arienne Dwyer, professor of anthropology, fear that the death of languages limits the range and understanding of how humans express themselves.
Within a language is all of the culture passed down from generations that make languages the storehouses of cultural knowledge, Dwver said.
"The plants, animals and tools associated with the culture's human survival are inevitably recorded as part of the language system," Yamamoto said.
A culture's values, religion and world view shine through the words and structure of a language. Dwyer gave the example how important accuracy of information is in Monguor, which she studies and teaches as a fieldwork in linguistics class. When the language is gone, the cultural information is either lost forever or has to be pieced together through archeological remnants, Yamamoto said.
Yamamoto has followed the epidemic of dying languages during the past 30 years and has helped to pioneer academic movement that brought attention to endangered languages. As English spreads like wildfire, the cultures of dying languages cannot be near-sighted, Yamamoto said.
"A language shift is taking place very, very rapidly, and these cultures particularly need to look for the future generations," Yamamoto said.

LOCKED: Men's halls less secure than women's
CONTINUED FROM 1A
(The image is blurry and lacks clear details, so no specific content can be accurately determined.)
reluctant to embrace the security measures of the women's halls. In fact, some women's halls are loosening their security policies to provide a more open atmosphere like the men's halls.
Two Stephenson Hall fire escape doors were propped open during the daytime yesterday. There are a number of differences in security levels among men's and women's schooljars in halls.
"I think we're all resistant to formal, strict escort policies and lockdowns because of the nature of our community." All Scholarship Hall Council President Jen Overstreet said. "You always like to relax when you're comfortable in your living arrangement."
The thefts at Amiini this past February were the most severe burglaries in the scholarship halls since Thanksgiving 2001, when someone broke into Amiini and the adjacent women's hall, Margaret Amiini Scholarship Hall, and stole several hundred dollars worth of electronics from a number of rooms.
Jared Soares/Kansan
When Margaret Amini opened in August 2000, it brought the number of women's scholarship halls to five, equaling the five men's halls. Though the number of men's and women's halls has been the same since, the crime rates have been quite different.
The men's halls have reported 71 crimes since August 2000, while the women's halls have reported 37.
The scholarship halls are a division of the Department of Student Housing, but have no mandated security policies. Residents of each hall decide what should be done to keep unwanted visitors out. For many years, the women's halls have maintained, to different degrees, a number of strict security measures. They include 24-hour locked doors (which residents can unlock with a key-code), a front desk where a resident monitors everyone who enters and an escort policy that requires visitors to be accompanied by a resident at all times. The residents of the men's halls have no formal security measures aside from locking their front doors at night.
"It's unfortunate, but female undergrads are more security-conscious," said Ken Stoner, director of Student Housing. "It's a message that's drummed into them a little more."
Women's halls
The women's scholarship halls, Sellards, Miller, Watkins.
Douthart and Margaret Amini, are some of the most secure buildings on campus. Douthart gained a reputation within the scholarship halls as especially wary of strangers, earning the nickname "Fort Douthart."
Until February, Douthart had its doors locked 24 hours a day, with a resident on phone duty who would let in guests and a strict escort policy for those guests. It has since loosened its escort policy, allowing residents to write the names of guests who can roam unescorted on index cards that the resident on phone duty checks. The other policies remain in place.
It's difficult for non-residents to roam the hall without someone watching them, said Britt Bradley, Wichita sophomore and Douthart resident.
"If someone's wandering around in Douthart, everyone looks at them funny," Bradley said. "In my experience, in guys' halls, no one really gives you a second look."
Security is a bigger issue to women because they feel more vulnerable to attack, Bradley said, but, "theft is partially an issue, especially now that more people have laptops, CD players and other high-priced things that are small and easy to walk out with," she added.
Douthart's security comes with a price. About a month ago, the Douthart residents decided they didn't like the "Fort Douthart" image and the way the strict escort policy made their guests feel.
Douthart has reported six crimes in the last four years: one burglary, four thefts and one act of vandalism. Bradley said she had only heard of property being stolen during breaks when maintenance people were coming and going and the outer doors were left unlocked at times.
"A lot of people were saying their friends didn't feel welcome, like they felt like we were going to jump down their throats as soon as they walked in," Bradley said. "That's all just image. We're really very welcoming; we want people to come over."
With Douthart loosening its escort policy, the hall with the strictest security may now be Sellards. The front door to Sellards is unlocked during the day, but
there's always a resident on phone duty watching the door. Sellards still adheres to an escort policy for all guests. It is the only scholarship hall that hasn't reported a crime in the past four years.
Miller is one of the more relaxed women's halls, with no escort policy. Its residents still have phone duty shifts each week when they keep watch at the door, except when it's locked. Miller has reported fewer crimes than all the men's halls in the last four years.
Miller residents talk about security at nearly every house meeting, and feel safe without an escort policy, said Cheri Whitees, Durant, Okla., junior.
"Even with us being more relaxed, we still have phone duty." Whiteside said. "It's a drastic jump from us to guys' halls."
The robberies at Amini this year spurred Khadavi, the hall president, to close the gap in security between his hall and the women's halls. He went to a 24-hour lockdown and an escort policy that required residents to let their guests in and accompany them at all times. Then he asked his residents to comment on the new system.
Men's halls
"A lot of them didn't like it," Khadav said.
Without anyone on phone duty, the burden of answering the door fell more heavily on a small group of residents living on the first floor.
"We found out that the only way we could have a functional escort policy was with a front desk," Khadavi said. "That wouldn't work; the guys weren't willing to do it."
After three weeks, the policies were voted down in a hall meeting and residents decided to have no formal guest policy. Instead, they plan to raise their awareness of strangers in the hall and question people they don't recognize.
Joe Alfaro, Springdale, Ark., sophomore, was one of the Amiini residents whose room was burglarized on Feb. 7. His PlayStation, controllers and five games were stolen. He agreed with the decision to scrap the escort policy.
"We had a really loose policy before and it had never really
Where
are
You?
been that big a deal," Alfaro said. "We didn't want it to be a prison like Douthart."
In Douthart, if the person scheduled for phone duty is not in the designated room, then this message can be flipped to the location where the person can be found. Britt Bradley, Wichita sophomore and Douthart Hall resident, said it was nice not to have to sit in the room for the entire phone duty.
Alfaro said he thought the heightened awareness would prevent similar incidents, but he and Khadavi said they were taking the extra precaution of locking their rooms.
Abby Tillery/Kansan
Stoner, the director of Student Housing, said locking room doors was something all the scholarship hall residents should have been doing even before the Amini thefts, but that he understood why some didn't. The scholarship halls have a family feeling and most residents think it's like home, Stoner said.
"The message we're trying to get through is that at home Mom and Dad took care of the front door, but the front door is now the door to your room, not the front door of the hall." Stoner said.
Stoner thinks all the halls should have escort policies, but only if residents agree on the policies.
"It's my experience that the scholarship halls are pretty independent and that they have some resistance to edicts or people otherwise telling them what to do," Stoner said.
Mike Mazzozco, a Chicago sophomore who lives in Stephenson, said residents would eventually accept an escort policy and phone duty if they were told to.
"People would probably be pissed at first, but if you've got to do it, you've got to do it and it's for everyone's safety," Mazzocco said.
Though all the men's halls have been burglarized in the past four years, none of them has decided to permanently implement any security policies. One reason is that many of the burglaries involved communal property rather than the property of residents. Pearson, Grace Pearson and Battenfeld have all had electronics stolen from their recreation rooms in the past four years, and food has been stolen from the pantries of all the men's halls. In 1996 someone entered the unlocked Amini kitchen and stole a deli turkey breast, 10 pounds of ground beef and 24 frozen burritos.
Because personal property is rarely stolen and communal property is replaced by the Department of Student Housing, the residents of the men's halls haven't seen the need to upgrade security. Matt Unger, St. Louis senior and president of Pearson Hall, said the department would take action if theft became too much of a problem.
"If it is more severe than in the past by Housing's opinion, then, yeah, there'll be changes," Unger said. "It's their property and they have the final word."
Although what happened at Amiini this year was more high-profile than most scholarship hall burglaries, Stoner and KU Public Safety official Lt. Schuyler Bailey say they aren't worried that crime is getting worse. Overall the number of crimes reported in the scholarship halls has gone from 31 in 2000 and 45 in 2001 to 12 in 2002 and 20 in 2003.
The Amini robbery might not have much of a lasting legacy outside of the hall's current residents. Khadavi said his residents were wary, but the other men's halls were probably still trusting.
"It's definitely harder to steal something from Amiini right now," Khadavi said. "Unfortunately that's because after an incident happens it's unlikely to happen again at that hall for a while because the residents are more aware. The other halls will have to learn vicariously from us, but I think it probably won't happen."

Proposed speed increase sparks further discussion
By Steve Vockrodt
svockrodt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
While legislators hash out key points of a bill that would raise the highway speed limit in Kansas, issues behind the increase remain a source of controversy across the state.
Senate Bill 384 is set to raise the maximum speed limit on interstate multilane highways from 70 miles per hour to 75.
The House of Representatives passed the bill on March 23, but requested a Senate Committee. Amendments to the bill will be discussed this week.
The main concerns behind the bill are the potential rise in gas prices associated with commuters driving faster and the safety risks involved with higher speeds.
Dave Bach, owner of Das Autohaus, 1045 New Jersey St., said cars run on lower fuel economy at higher speeds. Bach is not buying the argument that gas prices will increase because of the speed increase.
Bach said that the way the highways are built there is not reason to not raise the speed limit.
"It's one of those issues where
people on both sides are making stupid arguments. Changing it to 75 isn't going to change anything. People are already driving 80," he said.
The Kansas State Highway Patrol was concerned about the effect the new speed limit might have on highway safety.
Highway Patrol Lieutenant John Eichkorn said his department would effectively enforce any speed limit the legislature passed, but added he had reservations about the increase in highway automobile accidents.
"Stats will show the faster people drive, injuries are more severe, and there is an increase in fatalities," Eichkorn said. "As far as property damage, that's something you have to consider."
The safety concern was echoed by Tom Mulinazzi, professor and chairman of the civil, environmental, and architectural engineering department.
Mulinazzi said the speed limit going to 75 miles per hour would increase average driving speeds to 80 miles per hour.
At 80 miles per hour, cars travel 117.6 feet per second and drivers' reaction times are calculated at 2.5 seconds in models used for designing roads Mulinazzi said. Given the speed and
the reaction time, Mulinazzi said a driver will travel 294 feet before reacting at speeds of 80 miles per hour.
"We're just going to increase accidents, and I don't like it," said Mulinazzi.
Mulinazzi said that the severity of accidents at the higher speeds would increase as well. He added that drivers reactions times are slower when drivers are distracted with cell phones or have consumed alcohol.
Despite the safety issues, the approval of the bill would be welcome news for some University of Kansas students who commute to and from Lawrence.
Brent Stevens, Wichita senior, works in Olathe, and said he would like to drive faster.
"It would be great. It means I could go up to 85 miles per hour," Stevens said.
Stevens also said he would not be concerned about his safety on the highways with a 75 mile per hour speed limit.
Governor Kathleen Sebelius has not publicly taken a position on the bill. Governor spokesperson Nicole Corcoran said the Governor will wait and see what happens with the Committee's changes to the bill.

the information.
WASHINGTON — National security adviser Condoleezza Rice will go before the Sept. 11 commission next Thursday in an effort to counter criticism that the Bush administration failed to grasp the gravity of the terrorism threat before the hijackings.
The commission will hear only from Rice during a 21/2-hour public session focusing on what Clinton administration officials told the incoming Bush White House about al-Qaida and what the new administration did with
"We really want to find out about the transition, what they learned, and what changes in policy the Bush administration decided and what focus there was on terrorism," the commission chairman, Thomas Kean, said in an interview.
But on Thursday, Bruce Lindsey, Clinton's legal representative for records, told The Associated Press that the commission isn't getting the full picture of former President Clinton's terrorism policies because the Bush administration has turned
over only 25 percent of the 11,000 records requested by the panel.
The White House says it fully met the commission's information requests.
"Whether documents from the Clinton administration or the Bush administration, we have worked to ensure the commission has all the information it needs to get its job done," said Taylor Gross, a White House spokesman.
Richard Clarke testified last week that the Bush administration did not consider al-Qaida an urgent threat.
LORD WADS: Remains involved, but no campaign
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Wadsworth said he would have liked to see a third coalition similar to his spring up this year.
"There's not as much talk about the election this year because there's not things like jousing on Wescoe Beach, which was awesome," Thomas said.
"Having an election without a third party is like having a wedding without that crazy uncle." Wadsworth said. "I'm disappointed nobody else came out, but I must say most third parties in the past have sucked."
While Wadsworth isn't running for office this year, he still has ideas for the election. He said he wanted to invite the candidates to a debate on his show, which is a talk show inspired by his idol, Conan O'Brien.
He also has a grand plan for staging a Student Elections Olympics Day, in which the two coalitions would face off in a series of physical contests.
Wadsworth said the games might include tricycle races, obstacle courses and karaoke. He said a waterslide would be included somehow.

Mangino enjoyed his guest appearance so much that he allowed Wadsworth to come and film football practice for the show. Wadsworth went expecting to watch from the safety of the sidelines, but Mangino had other ideas.

"Nobody gets on my field unless they've got pads on," Mangino told him. "I hope you've paid your insurance."
"Last year I was just a regular student and I had this idea to run for president and people just got on board," Wadsworth said. "Now I've got the TV show and people got on board that too. It just seems like anything's possible here, that's why I'm going to stay for my full seven years of undergrad. There's not many places like this after you leave."
Wadsworth strapped on the pads, signed a medical release form and spent a good portion of the practice getting lit up by charging linebackers.
Wadsworth is getting used to seeing even his wackiest dreams become realities.

Water supply limits growth in Kansas
By Joshua Kendall
jkendall@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
In western Kansas, hopes of city development are dictated by the limited supply of water.
The area has never been able to rely on surface water from live water sources. Instead, the Ogallala aquifer has provided the water necessary for cities.
"Water is becoming a limiting factor," said Wayne Bossert, manager of Colby's Kansas Groundwater Management District No. 4 in Thomas County.
To continue developing, cities face the awkward position of buying water rights from farmers to support growth, he said.
Virtually all the available lake, stream and aquifer waters are already allocated for use. The state allocates a certain amount of water each year to farmers, cities and individuals. To preserve water for the future, Kansas is reluctant to pump any more water from sources, Bossert said.
Western Kansas is traditionally dry. Colby, for example, averages 34 inches of precipitation each year. Dry cities in western Kansas such as Goodland and Oakley cannot accept new industries into town because of the limited water supply, Bossert said. With limited access to water, plans for the future look stale.
Cities are like any other consumer of water and have to obtain water rights just like a farmer who irrigates his crops. As a city expands, its demand for water swells with the population growth and surrounding industries.
There are only two ways in which a city can go about getting new water rights, said John Peck, professor of law at the University of Kansas. A city can either petition for a new right — something highly unlikely to go through in western Kansas where water shortage is a major issue — or buy water rights from farmers.
At the recent Water and Future of Kansas Conference in Lawrence, Peck gave a presentation on the laws and issues of converting agricultural water to municipal water. Cities can't get the amount of water that the farmers get, he said. The problem comes from the theory of consumptive use, or the percent of water that is not returned to the aquifer.
"Just because a farmer receives 250 acre feet of water doesn't mean they use that entire amount."
When a farmer irrigates crops, a portion of the pumped water is returned back to the aquifer from which it was pulled. A crop such as corn absorbs more water than wheat and has a higher consumptive use — about 70 percent — meaning 30 percent is filtered back to the aquifer, Peck said.
John Peck Professor of law
"Just because a farmer receives 250 acre feet of water doesn't mean they use that entire amount." Peck said.
Municipal use is considered 100 percent consumptive because theoretically none of the water is returned to the source, said David Traster, an attorney who specializes in water law in Wichita.
Under Kansas law, when a city purchases a water it is only able to pump the net amount that is used by the farmer, not the total to which the farmer has access. In the instance of the corn farmer above, the city is only able to extract 70 percent of the water that a farmer uses to maintain the current usage of that water right.
The current estimated life of the Ogallala aquifer ranges from 20 to 200 years in parts, said Lee Allison, director of the Kansas Geological Survey.

WEIGHT: Hemenway sees change
CONTINUED FROM 1A
He did start to notice how much food advertising was on TV. The biggest adjustment was learning how to discipline himself, he said.
The first phase consists of a 12-week liquid diet where participants drink five shakes a day. Hemenway said that he lost touch with food during this part of the diet, but that he was never ravenous.
Hemenway said he knew the diet was working when he saw a steady decrease in his cholesterol.
"If you can control the urge, you can lose the weight," Hemenway said.
During this liquid phase, patients are monitored to make sure their heart and blood pressure are normal.
During the second phase, which lasts 40 weeks, Donnelly works with the participants and teaches them how to maintain their weight. Then he slowly introduces food back into their diets.
"If you can control the urge,you can lose the weight."
Robert Hemenway Chancellor
The program helps people keep stay at or near their goal weight.
Donnelly contacted 500 participants in 2000. He reached 138 and discovered that 38 percent of them were within 10 pounds of their lowest weight achieved while they were in the program.
In addition to the diet, participants must exercise 300 minutes a week or burn 2,000 calories.
Hemenway said he tried to exercise every day. Before getting on the diet, Hemenway said he told himself he was too busy to exercise.
Now he tries to dedicate at least an hour a day to walking on campus.

Ex-Notre Dame player apologizes for comments
The Associated Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Paul Hornung regrets suggesting that Notre Dame needs to lower its academic standards to "get the black athlete."
"I was wrong," said the former Heisman Trophy winner. "What I should have said is for all athletes, it is really tough to get into Notre Dame."
"We can't stay as strict as we are as far as the academic structure is concerned because we've got to get the black athlete." Hornung said. "We must get the black athlete if we're going to compete."
Hornung, who is white, said he changed his mind after being flooded with telephone calls from friends and media.
Notre Dame spokesman Matthew Storin called Hornung an illustrious alumnus but objected to the comments he made Tuesday night.
"They are generally insensitive and specifically insulting to our past and current African-American student-athletes," Storin said in a statement.
During a radio interview Tuesday, he told WXYT-AM that his alma mate has to "ease it up a little alm bit" on its standards.
Hornung, part of the radio team that broadcasts Notre Dame games, said he hadn't talked with
Notre Dame went 5-7 last season and has had three losing seasons in the last five years for the first time in school history.
the university, but had heard the school's response.
The academic standards have long been discussed as a reason why the Irish no longer win consistently. Notre Dame has gone 15 seasons without a national championship, the school's second-longest drought. The longest
stretch was 1949-66.
"Our records show that admission requirements for athletes have remained constant over those years in which we have had both great success and occasional disappointments with our football teams." Storin said.
But Hornung, who won the Heisman in 1956, believes the academic standards were eased in the late 1980s, when the Irish won their last national championship.

Jeremy Mims, Iowa City, Iowa, junior and middle-distance Kansas track runner, said that the low interest in track was due to a lack of awareness. He said track was a competitive sport worthy of more attention.
SUPPORT: Programs' successes bring more fans
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A
As far as a fan base is concerned, May still wishes for more, especially from the University at large. She said the softball team has a core group of loyal supporters, which has gotten gradually bigger each year, but for the most part, that group is made up of the same people that were around when she used to watch Kansas games as a little girl growing up in Lawrence.
Steinberg also referred to Lew Perkins' record at the University of Connecticut to show that Kansas was headed in the right direction.
He said the recent success of programs such as volleyball and soccer, both making appearances in the NCAA tournament, would do a lot toward helping attendance at those sports' events. Other sports such as track and baseball are also enjoying competitive success, with the national championships of spinner Leo Bookman and baseball's increased winning since the coming of coach Ritch Price.
was grateful for what the softball team did get, such as Arrocha Ballpark, which is new this year.
He said along with allowing athletes the opportunities to interact personally with fans via activities such as community service and autograph sessions, the competitive success of sports programs was central to increasing attendance.
She said she appreciated the loyalty of the fans softball had—she just wished there were more of them and more support from the University.
Steinberg said he hoped to capitalize on this success to promote the sports to fans.
Nevertheless, in terms of promoting non-revenue sports in general, Steinberg said he felt Kansas was poised for a breakthrough.
Success gives programs more visibility and makes people more aware that those programs are out there.
"They won ridiculous numbers of Big East Championships in Olympic Sports," Steinberg said. "That's what we need to do."
But Steinberg sympathized with athletes wishing for higher fan turnouts.
"The gauntlet's been thrown and the coaches and players have responded." Steinberg said.
"Department-wide, we can do a better job of getting the word out there and getting people to come to those sports," Steinberg said.
Jeremy Mims, junior-middle distance runner, agreed that the low fan base of these sports came down to a lack of awareness. He said people simply didn't know when there was a track meet or a swim meet like they did with basketball and football games.
He said he thought the fans
would get out there if the word did too, but sometimes it was hard to do that because of the comparably small space the sports had to work with.
"We're not the basketball team," Mims said. "We can't just say we're going to have a Late Night."
Mims said track had an excitement that many people didn't realize — constant competition and runners facing off not only against other runners, but against their previous times as well. He said all of this presents an exciting experience for fans who want to watch a track meet.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs, said he was a good example of a fan who didn't appreciate a particular sport until he took the time to watch it.
"I never realized how good a sport soccer was until my son played it," Marchiony said.
He said he had a lot of respect for the athletes involved in these sports because they weren't doing it for the glory.
Mims agreed. He said it would be nice for track to enjoy a larger fan base, but it wouldn't affect the way he ran, because to him track was something he did for himself.
"It's what I do — is run track," Mims said.

Teams' Tokyo trip ends
The Associated Press
TOKYO — Derek Jeter walked around Tokyo and couldn't believe what he saw — or didn't see.
Five days in the Orient was an eye-opening experience for the Yankees and Tampa Bay Devil Rays, who got back home early yesterday after splitting their opening two-game series in the Tokyo Dome.
"I was shocked that there's no trash," the New York Yankees' captain said.
For the most part, players seemed to enjoy the 7,250-mile trip from spring training in Florida. While it was a long way to go for a two-game series and the jet lag was brutal for many, they got a charge from experiencing the response of the Japanese fans.
Tampa Bay had a lower profile, but just as good a time.
"Tokyo is a beautiful city to visit," manager Lou Piniella said.
At the center of everything was Hideki Matsui, the Yankees outfielder who starred for the Yomiuri Giants for 10 seasons. He homered against his old team in an exhibition game Sunday, then hit another in the Yankees' 12-1 rout Wednesday night.
Matsui's presence on the Yankees was a big reason New York owner George Steinbrenner sent the team overseas for the first time since a postseason tour of Asia and the Pacific in 1955. Fans cheered Matsui, chanted his name and bowed to the player they call "Godzilla." He came away with a Kabuto, a traditional helmet of samurai armor, awarded to the series MVP.
Given the love they have for Matsui, fans no doubt would love it if he could stay. But he's a major leaguer now, ready for his second season in New York.

Bowling to compete at Nationals
By Jason Elmquist
jelmquist@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
For those who did not know, yes, there is a bowling team, and yes, it is good.
The women's team will make its second straight appearance in the Intercollegiate Bowling Championship in Tulsa, Okla., while the men's team will make its fourth straight appearance and its fifth out of the past six years.
The top four teams from each of the four sectionals advanced to the IBC. The women clinched a trip back by finishing third in their sectional in Lexington, Ky. The men did so by finishing second in Lexington.
The team will travel to Tulsa on April 14 and attend an award ceremony where four potential All-Americans will be announced. Men's bowlers Marc D'Errico, Rochester, N.Y., senior; Rhino Page, Lawrence sophomore; and Chris Dilley,
"They don't rattle easily and they're able to bounce back."
Mike Fine
Bowling coach
Olathe sophomore, are the three men up for All-American honors. Women's bowler Kelly Zapf, Rochester, N.Y., junior is the lone KU female up for the honors. Coach Mike Fine is a finalist for National Coach of the Year for the third year in a row. Fine won the award in 2001-2002.
"Mike is the heart and soul of this team," said Alan Emmons, Loveland, Colo., senior. "I think it is because of him and the way he is able to communicate with every one else that he's able to really help the team understand the importance of ball selection and lane play."
D'Erico, Emmons, and Jason Reese, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student, will be competing in their last collegiate tournament.
"We would love to go out National Champions, and we're going to try our best," D'Errico said.
D'Errico, who has been on each of the last four qualifying teams, thinks the experience of four of the six members will aid in their pursuit for the national title. Emmons has been on the past three qualifying teams, and Page and Reese will make their second appearance. This will be the first trip to the national competition for Dilley and Trent Overbey, Topeka freshman.
Our experience can help the other guys so they don't feel as much pressure and they can make the good shots when they can make them," D'Erico said.
Fine also expressed the importance of the experienced players heading to nationals.
"They don't rattle easily and they're able to bounce back," Fine said. "If we run into a tough stretch, they have experience with righting
the ship and getting back on track."
The talent and experience has the men's team peaking at the right time. The team was ranked fourth in the nation heading into sectionals and finished with the third highest pinfall out of the 56 teams competing at all four sectionals.
One of the teams it finished ahead of was in-state rival, Wichita State, the reigning National Champions. Wichita State won four tournaments that KU attended, and finished ahead of the men at two others.
"Last year's team had the talent; this year's team has the heart." Emmons said. "We all believe in each other, we get along, we mesh like no other team I've been on."
It may take a little of both talent and heart if the men's and women's teams want to come back from Tulsa with possession of the Helmer Cup.

Hi, would you like a New Testament bible?
New huh? Well actually, I have been looking to switch my religious service provider...ya see, right now I'm with Judaism and I'm just not getting the coverage I need...am...am I going to need new equipment if I switch to you guys?
HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 2).
Love leads to new projects this year, and maybe a few surprises. You're learning what works and what doesn't, so be careful. Some lessons will come the hard way.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
Focus on service. Don't think about what your reward will be. You'll work faster if you aren't preoccupied with that. This assignment will be much easier if you have a contract.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is an 8.
You're surrounded by people who understand what you're going through, so don't be afraid. Conserve your resources and offer your affection freely to people who care.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6.
Cleaning house may not be your favorite way to spend your time, but the rewards could be lovely. And you might get somebody to help.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today
is a 7.
There's a way to make your work- load lighter, but this will require some study on your part. Take the time to develop a better routine.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
Don't schedule a date for tonight.
Odds are good you'll get a chance to work late. You'll be able to afford a much flashier outing on Sunday.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
You need to lay down the law again, since some of the others forgot how important it is for them to give the information you need.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
Gathering data is a better plan now than dispersing it to others. Make accuracy your top priority Let somebody else spread the news.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
Once you have your team together and are committed to your goal, you can start discussing the details of how you'll finance this endeavor. All in good time.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 7.
Curb your wilder side for a little while. An outrageous announcement won't go over as well now as it will in a couple of days. Concentrate on getting work done.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today in a 7.
The light at the end of the tunnel should be clearly visible by now. There's still one difficulty or fear to overcome, however. Stay sharp.
Aquarius (Jan, 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
You may feel as if there's plenty of money, but check with a loved one first. He or she may have plans that you haven't been told about.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
You'll gain more than you can possibly imagine by joining forces with a partner. The person you're seeking is a good organizer, though somewhat critical.

The University Daily Kansan
They don't want fame, just a little support
Friday, April 2, 2004
Brent Carter/Kansas
Catcher Dani May, Lawrence senior, prepared her equipment before entering the game yesterday.
Non-revenue-sports players passionate but without active fan base
Kansas 10
His name does not adorn the backs of jerseys worn by little kids or sprawl across the front page of newspapers.
By Joe Bant
jbant@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
He is not the subject of household conversation or the banter of sports journalists.
John DiCalogero is a college athlete one of the many at the University of Kansas who compete at the NCAA Division One level without the glamour or fanfare of high-revenue sports such as football and basketball.
Every week the middle-distance runner gives approximately 20 hours to his sport, and in the summers beneath shimmering, cloudless skies he runs about 60 to 70 miles per week to stay in shape.
He and others represent the University with pride, even though their accomplishments are often overlooked. Unlike the University's more famous athletes, they live outside the spotlight. That can be a good and bad, they say.
For DiCalogero, any status he receives because of his sport is secondary. He runs simply because he loves it, he said, and will continue to do so whether fans watch him or not.
"There's no better benefit than running fast," DiCalogero said.
He said fan support could be an important boost to competing, but it was lacking in track and he understood that.
He said track didn't seem to be a very fan-friendly sport at Kansas.
Maegen Himes had the same complaint for swimming.
The senior swimmer has a passion for the sport. She has been doing it before she could walk and will continue long after her days are done at Kansas, she said. She said at the collegiate level, swimming doesn't seem to attract the fans. Himes said the lack of support frustrated her sometimes.
"If I go somewhere with a Kansas swim sweatshirt, I get looks like 'we have
a swim team?""" Himes said.
She said sports such as football and basketball were a contrast. Those sports get constant media and fan attention even in their off-seasons. Meanwhile, she said, swimming gets ignored and is covered half-heartedly by the media even when it's in season.
Himes said it was hard feeling like fans didn't care more about her sport,but she found motivation from other sources, such as her teammates.
"For swimming, you got 33 other girls out there counting on you to perform," Himes said.
Andrew Steinberg, director of marketing for the Athletics Department, said his biggest challenge was finding ways to promote non-ticketed sports, which include swimming, track, cross-country, golf, rowing and tennis.
He said the difficulty was in raising awareness of these sports' events. The majority of the marketing budget was allocated to the high revenue sports such as football and basketball, a decision based on the need to earn revenue and to fill seats in the larger facilities such as Memorial Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse, he said.
Athletes in other sports realize the money and resources aren't exactly tilted in their direction, but they're used to it, they say, and aren't resentful.
"If our sport brought in that much money, I would expect a lot more," said Dani May, a senior center on the softball team.
As it is, she understands the way resources are distributed and thinks the system is pretty fair. She said she

Big 12 home debut begins against rival
By Shane Kucera

Kansan sportswriter
There are two reasons for coming to today's baseball game at Hoglund Baliparic; the Jayhawks' Big 12 Conference home opener against rival Oklahoma, and hot dogs for a quarter.
Kansas (22-11-1, 1-2 Big 12) will attempt to stop Oklahoma's (16-10) four-game winning steak when it opens a three-game series tonight.
Oklahoma will look to its pitching staff for an advantage against Kansas. The Oklahoma staff is led by southpaw David Purcey. As a Roger Clemens Award nominee, Purcey has an ERA of 2.37 in more than eight starts and is averaging more than a strikeout per inning pitched. Junior Jared McAuliff will also be a threat to the 'Hawks from the mound. McAuliff is 5-0 with a 1.10 ERA in more than 32 innings pitched.
Oklahoma has improved its record with a recent sweep of Baylor and three victories against top-10 opponents.
The strength of Oklahoma's pitching staff should be an excellent match up against the Jayhawks' solid offense.
At the plate, Kansas sophomore infielder Matt Baty continues to lead the team with a .416 batting average. Seniors Matt Trible, offense, and Ryan Baty, infielder, will try to carry last weeks' success against Nebraska into the Oklahoma series. In last week's match-up with the Huskers, Tribble batted .545 with two doubles and preseason All-American Ryan Baty went 5-11 with two homers.
With a team batting average of .342 and 40 home runs in the first 34 games of the season, Kansas will pose a threat to the impressive ERAs of the Oklahoma pitching staff.
The home field advantage should help the Hawks improve their Big 12 record and the all-time series record against Oklahoma (78-130-1). Kansas is 14-1 this season at Hoglund Ballpark with a team batting average just below 400.
The first pitch will be thrown at 6 tonight at Hogland Ballpark.

More darkness for softball Second day in a row where lack of lights halts game

JUNE 1973
In seven years, Kansas' coach Tracy Bunge has had one game not finish before the sun set. Now, she has had two in two days.
Kansas (21-16-1) played a double-header against Creighton (21-16-1), winning the first game 2-0, and tying the second 1-1 after the game was called in the ninth inning because of darkness.
Why all the darkness? Arrocha Ballpark is a threephase construction process. Phase One is completed, which included building the field and dugouts. Lights are included in Phase Two, which has not started.
Kansas' two runs in the first game were back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. Those two homers snapped a 41-inning dry spell, dating back to the team's game against Oregon State, March 21.
Sophomore shortstop Destiny Frankenstein, sophomore, infielder, made contact with a pitch during the first game against Creighton yesterday. Frankenstein sophomore designated play hit the first home run during back-to-back shots in the fourth inning. Serena Settlemier hit the home runs
"Serena and I are trying to tag team it right now, pump each other up," Frankenstein said.
While Settlemier has hit several out of Arrocha, Frankenstein has not.
"It was the first for me in the ballpark," Frankenstein said. "It was awesome."
Game one ended with senior Kara Pierce pitching for the victory, and recording 11 strikeouts. Kansas recorded four hits and one error.
Game two started at 4 p.m.
Because of freshman pitcher Kassie Humphreys' style, the games tend to run long.
"It's been that way all year long," Bunge said. "Hitters get a look at her, but they can't handle her."
Humphreys had a no-hitter going into the fourth inning. At-bats often went 12 or 14 pitches while Humphreys was on the mound, which posed a problem as the game went on.
"She kinda ran out of gas in the fifth, and that's why I yanked her," Bunge said.
TALK TO SPORTS: Contact Henry C. Jackson or Maggie Newcomer at SPORTS@KANSAN.COM
"That's a little frustrating. We were talking about it in the dugout and saying come on guys, we have to get on it, because this is going to be our last at-bat." Destiny Frankenstein Sophomore infielder
Game two lasted 2 hours and 42 minutes, with officials calling the game because of darkness, much like Wednesday, and much to the consternation of Kansas players.
Humphreys faced 18 atbats, striking out 12, in five innings. She gave up two hits and one run.
When Humphreys left, Pierce returned to pitch the final four innings of the game. Humphreys and Pierce recorded 12 and 10 strikeouts, respectively.
"That's a little frustrating," Frankenstein said. "We were talking about it in the dugout and saying it on
guys, we have to get on it, because this is going to be our last at-bat."
Kansas received word from the Big 12 Conference office yesterday that its games Wednesday against Nebraska will be counted as complete.
With that ruling, the Jayhawks' officially lost the game by a score of 3-0.
Bunge reported the league officials went back and forth three times while deciding.

Pow Wow draws attention to Native American Month
By Jodie Krafft
jkrafti@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For almost five hours Saturday night, Robinson Center was transformed into a mass of feathers, bells, drums and singing as Native Americans and the general public participated in the First Nations Student Association's 14th annual Pow Wow.
More than 100 participants competed in various dance categories. In addition to the competitions, spectators could eat Indian tacos, which are made out of fry bread and traditional taco toppings, buy a handmade dreamcatcher and participate in dances with Native American competitors.
Having the Pow Wow in Robinson was convenient, and the organization received money from Student Senate, which helped with the cost, said Olivia Standing Bear, co-president of First Nations Student Association. The Pawhuska, Okla., senior said that the Pow Wow was better than last year.
Caylyn Spicer, Clay Center, freshman, said she heard about the Pow Wow from a friend and went because she thought it sounded interesting.
"I don't have a specific interest in that ethnicity, but I wanted to experience a different culture," she said.

About 9 p.m., a blanket was placed on the floor for anyone to donate money for the drummers, and everyone was invited into the circle to dance together.
Leela Abrahamson competed in the girls' 7-16 age division Saturday night at the Native American Pow Wow event at Robinson Center.
"There were also quite a few tribes
Spicer participated in the dance and said she enjoyed the experience.
"I liked being right next to a Native American participant during the dance," Spicer said.
For Anna Holcombe, interest in the Pow Wow came from growing up in Oklahoma and attending several pow wows there. The Tulsa senior said she had been to about 20 pow wows in the past and enjoyed the drums the most.

Chris Whitewolf, a grass dancer from Carnegie, Okla., said this year was his third year coming to the Pow Wow. Whitewolf

Construction to begin on new hall
By Azita Tafreshi
atafreshi@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
It won't be long before construction crews and heavy machinery become familiar sights on the 1300 block of Ohio St.
Construction on Rieger Scholarship hall for women will begin on April 19, said Ken Stoner, director of Student Housing.
As the University's sixth female scholarship hall, the three-story, 17,500-square-foot building will be home to 50 women.
A house at 1309 Ohio St. was moved to 1033 Kentucky St. last month to make
room for construction of the $3 million hall.
The hall is meant to mirror the residential look of the surrounding buildings while still maintaining the feel of a scholarship hall, Stoner said.
in addition to the traditional building committee that was formed for all constructions and renovations done within the Department of Student Housing, a community advisory committee was also formed to help Treanor Architects generate concepts for the design of the hall, Stoner said.
The firm began collaborating with the committees in January 2003, he said.
After also gathering input from students and faculty on their notion of the ideal hall, a final design was announced last May.
Maggie Hansen, Sand Springs, Okla. senior and student member of the Rieger Scholarship Hall Building Committee, said the architects and committees were committed to ensuring that the hall would fit well into both the neighboring Oread community and the scholarship hall community.
The main entrance to the hall will face the Oread community, while the informal entrance to the kitchen and dining room will face the other scholarship halls, she said.

HALO stages first Appreciation Week
By Marc Ingber
mingber@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
This week, the Hispanic American Leadership Organization will be its own guest of honor when the group holds its first HALO Appreciation Week. Events throughout the week will give the members of HALO an opportunity to unite and give exposure to the Hispanic community and HALO itself.
HALO, which currently has about 35 active members, arrived at the University of Kansas in 1971. The organization looks to unite Hispanic students with similar backgrounds and who want to serve the community.
Melanie Weiser, Dallas senior and social chairwoman for HALO, said a lot of students joined HALO so they could learn more about other types of Hispanics.
She said that the main goals for HALO's Appreciation Week were to get recognition for the group's members and to get HALO more exposure so they could bring light to issues affecting Hispanics in Kansas.
"We're still trying to fight for the drivers' license bill, and we are constantly fighting for Latinos to get education," Weiser said, referring to bills currently going through the state legislature that would give undocumented students the right to in-state tuition and the right to obtain a drivers' license.
This week's events begin today when HALO participates in the Tunnel of Oppression program going on in Hashinger Hall throughout the day. It is a "simulation program" sponsored by the Multicultural Resource Center and the Office of Multicultural Affairs designed to teach students the effects of hate.
HALO will volunteer this week at the jubilee Café and serve breakfast to the needy, Victor Aguilar, Dodge City freshman and vice president of HALO, said being in an organization inspired him to volunteer.
"For many of us, if it wasn't for HALO we wouldn't be going."

The week also includes a pot luck dinner at the Multicultural Resource Center. Members are encouraged non-member friends to expose new people to the organization and eat traditional foods such as tacos, enchiladas and chicken rice.
Aguilar said.
Saturday, retired Lt. Col. Consuelo Castillo Kickbush will speak to the group at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union.
Weiser said Kiekbush, one of the first Latinas to be highly ranked in the U. S. Army, was an incredible motivational speaker.
"We've always wanted to bring her here and this year we were finally able to," she said.

PANHELLENIC EVENTS
Nearly 300 participants helped raise more than $8,500 for Kappa Delta sorority's 12th annual Twister Tournament as part of its philanthropic Shamrock Project, said Caitlyn Lamport, chairperson of the Shamrock Project.
Lamport, Sugarland, Texas, sophomore, said the Shamrock Project was part of the nationwide Kappa Delta philanthropy that the University of Kansas chapter participates in every year.
These charity events are sponsored by members of the greek community but are open to anyone wishing to participate. For more information on any of the events listed, contact Anne Domen, vice president of philanthropy and community service for the Panhellenic Association, at adomann@ku.edu.

Twenty percent of the proceeds from the event will benefit Prevent Child Abuse America, and the remaining eighty percent will be donated to the Lawrence Women's Transitional Care Services, a shelter for abused women and children, said Amy Sullivan, St. Charles,

For a $40 entry fee, 45 teams of two tangled themselves amidst ingredients including soap and baby oil, Lamport said.
She said each team that advanced past the second round received prizes donated from local businesses upon elimination, ranging from restaurant gift certificates to Lawrence Athletic Club Memberships.
Anne Domann said this was her second year as a contestant in the tournament.
The Doylestown, Pa., sophomore said the Shamrock project was one of her favorite philanthropies.
"Everybody plays Twister as a kid," Domann said. "And adding on water and whipped cream and chocolate—you get a little mess, but it's just so much fun."
The Mr. Shamrock male beauty pageant, a new addition to the philanthropy this year, was held at Captain Ribman's Meat Market, 811 New Hampshire St., Sullivan said. For a three-dollar cover spec,
tators watched the 12 contestants as they were judged in traditional categories such as talent, formal wear and swimwear in addition to the number of people they recruited to come and make a donation.
Sullivan said there was also a question and answer portion of the contest that covered such queries as, "What were the names of the four characters on Sex and the City?"
Mike Barnicle, Burr Ridge,
Ill., senior, took home $100 for
his first-place finish in the pageant.
Lamport said she was pleased with the overall outcome of the event because the chapter topped last year's earnings of more then $6,000.
She also said she was glad that the sorority had accomplished its goal of increasing involvement from outside the greek community with more than a dozen nongreek teams.
"We improved everything from last year, which was hard to top," Lampor said.

BUDGET OVERVIEW: A 'KANSAN' SERIES

University of Kansas: Not one of the well-endowed
OURVIEW
In a week-long series, the Kansan Editorial Board will explore the future of the University's budget. What is the government doing for students?
The University of Kansas will not be rolling in style next year. There is a moratorium on buying new vehicles.
Sebelius' 2005 budget recommendations, likely to be approved in the next few weeks by the Legislature, leaves the University short of money $7.7 million short.
In fact, the University will be scrimping and scraping every last penny. Gov. Kathleen
Growing University budget shortfalls are a trend in Kansas. During the past three years, the six Regent Universities have received a smaller percentage of the overall state budget. In this year's budget, the Universities are now allocated 15.3 percent of the budget, down from 16.2
percent two years ago.
That leaves Kansas in a predicament. For the past two years, there has been no increase in faculty and staff salaries at the University of Kansas. Health care costs for all state employees have increased more than 20 percent, but there has been no increased state aid.
To solve the problem, this budget takes from the funded to give to the lessfunded. The Department of Student Housing, the Student Fitness Recreation Center and Watkins Memorial Health Center are just some of the 15 departments that could be cut to fund a 3 percent salary increase.
Because of a dwindling economy, the budget would be in crisis no matter the plan. But is Sebelius' solution sound? Will this be a one-year solution or a legislative precedent?
The intricacies of the budget, tuition funds and the Band-Aid that holds this University together are important to understand. Next year, it will be Kansans voting in their legislators. For

PERSPECTIVE
Catholic scandals can allow for change
Catholic guilt.
For 65 million Americans who profess the faith, not even the hottest of baptismal fonts can eliminate those two words.
Your ordinary, everyday Catholics are usually the ones who bear the brunt of the guilt, whether for missing Mass one Sunday or wolfing down a T-bone on meatless Good Friday.
But during the past year, revelations have given those same parishioners pause. All of the sudden, it was the clergy who needed to hike themselves to the confessional. The public has known that numerous allegations of sexual abuse by priests have come to light, but last month the actual numbers became available.
During the last week of February, a study by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice reported that sexual allegations were made against 4 percent of 110,000 Catholic priests between 1950 and 2002. The study focused on 97 percent of the dioceses in the nation.
Compared with a seemingly small number of priests, the amount of money involved has been staggering.
The amount covering victims' com

pensation, legal fees and treatment for the priests and victims totaled $572 million. That amount does not even include the Archdiocese of Boston settlement in September for $85 million.
For Catholics bombarded by images of their trusted priests in handcuffs and now faced with the horrific statistics, defending the state of their church has been a challenge at best.
Luckily, the community — religious and otherwise — has given a reason for Catholics to resurrect their faith in human nature.
If anything can be said about the tragedy of someone such as Eric Patterson, one of five adult men who committed suicide after being victimized by the same priest, it is that organizations such as Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, have made it their mission to stop any further tragedies.
In 1989, Barbara Blaine of Chicago developed SNAP, which acts as a watchdog of sorts, exposing flaws that still remain within some diocese.
"Many diocese have repeatedly lied to victims," SNAP representative Barbara Dorris said. "They have told them 'Father John Doe is dead,' only to find Father Doe in a parish."
The archdioceses of Kansas City-St. Joseph began participating in the national program Protecting God's Children, which offers seminars on the
The past 50 years may be considered a stain on the Catholic Church, but a growing community effort is hinting at a salvageable future.
causes and issues surrounding sexual abuse. Social workers or licensed counselors usually lead the sessions that take place at churches at least once per month.
After years of abuse within an institution that was supposed to love and protect them, victims could very well reject any form of spirituality at all. The organization Voice of the Faithful doesn't believe the Catholic Church is a lost cause, but rather one that needs to learn from its mistakes. On its Web site www.votf.org, VOTF has made a petition seeking to hold those bishops who keep sexual abuse by their priests a secret accountable for their actions.
Whether signing a petition or supporting organizations such as SNAP, the everyday Catholics whom are saddened and ashamed by the sex scandals can have a say in who they want representing their core beliefs.

'Miracle' from another side: Soviet pride
I saw Miracle. Good movie. It reminded me of my past.
I was 14 years old when the Soviet Union collapsed. A lot of things have changed since that time.
Sometimes I cannot believe that I was a citizen of that largest country in the world and proudly sang a song in my native Kyngyz language about motherland: "My patronymic lasts from Vladivostok to the Brest! My capital is the greatest city in the world: Moscow!" Now it is like a tale. I know one thing: it would be hard for my children to imagine it.
Even I have already forgotten a lot about the Soviet Union. The more time passes, the more the memory will fade. Anything might happen in this life. I may forget all about my former motherland, but one thing I will always remember is Soviet Hockey.
GUEST COMMENTARY
We cheered for it, we were worried about it, we were happy and celebrated its victories and were mad for its losses, which rarely happened. Everyone — from students of elementary schools to grandfathers — discussed games; we boasted.
There was, probably, only one broadcast that would ever cause the family to gather in front of TV: the games of Soviet National Hockey team.
When Soviet Hockey began, the United States was one of the best

hockey powers in the world. Until the USSR took part in the Hockey World Championship in 1954, the USA managed to win one World Cup, seven silver medals and two bronze medals.The United States also had four Olympic medals for hockey achievements.
The USA took revenge in following Olympic games in 1960 by defeating the Soviets 3-2 and getting the gold medal. In 1962, in the World Championships, the USA again excelled; it finished with a bronze medal.
In 1956, for the first time, the USSR met the USA at the Olympics in Cortina D'Ampezzo, Italy. The Soviet Union won.
From that point until the 1980s, the Soviet team dominated and was considered the best among the amateur teams.
It won 14 World Championships and four Olympic games. Until 1972, the
Almost everyone predicted an 8-0 sweep by Canadians. But the result was unbelievable; in front of 18,000 fans in Montreal, the Soviet team devastated the Canadian Professionals 7-3.
That day is known as the "September to remember" by hockey fans. About 130 million Soviet people saw this game on TV and listened to it on the radio and celebrated.
It seemed like the greatest miracle, but in fact it was not miraculous. The Soviet Hockey team proved several times after that it was a better team. Several tournament victories later — Summit Series in 1974, Super Series in 1975 and Canadian Cup 1976 — Canada was not considered the only hockey superpower in the world anymore.
Encouraged by success, the Soviet National coach decided that the time had come to play against the Canadian professionals, considered the best in all leagues.
At the 1980 Olympic games in Lake Placid, everyone assumed the Soviet team a victor. The young American team, coached by Herb Brooks, wasn't taken seriously. The U.S. was the seventh seed in the 12-team tournament.
The Soviet team had already defeated
Soviet Hockey team had played only against the best amateur teams of the world.
It wasn't just a game on ice for either side; it was a feeling of competition of the Cold War, the Iron Curtain divide. Right there, on the TV screen, the defeat played out. The Soviet Union lost.
I can say that the U.S. might have lost if another, less-heroic figure, had defended the U.S. goal. But Jim Craig, the goalie, was excellent. He saved the team 39 times from potential scores. The game was over with an American victory, 4-3.
The Soviet people could only be shocked and devastated. I was among them; I was on the other side, the Soviet side. That was probably the worst day of Soviet sport history. Some people accepted that loss as a national tragedy.
The team had never lost again in the Olympic games until the USSR collapsed. It was not a Russian team, it was a Soviet team and we loved it. We supported it.
The subject of Miracle is the rematch between the United States and the Soviet Union. The movie, as I remember the game, led to a devastating day for the Soviets.

The Korean War memorial, planned to be completed this fall, will overlook Potter Lake.
Korean Warmemorialized
Endowment Association says tribute to be completed in fall
By Laura Pate
lpate@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Alumni who fought in World War I, World War II or in the Vietnam War can visit on-campus memorials of those wars. Korean War veterans cannot visit a memorial on campus, but the Kansas University Endowment Association plans to change that.
After a $50,000 donation from the International Communication Foundation of Seoul, Korea, construction of a Korean War memorial is set to begin in a few weeks, and should be completed by fall 2004. The University hopes to secure a contractor within two weeks.
The memorial will use a simple design featuring a tablet explaining the 1950 Korean War and a tablet listing the names of KU alumni, faculty and students who died in the three-year war. The memorial will rest above Potter Lake along Memorial Drive, west of the Campanile.
"The great location will enhance
the beauty to remember those who died in conflict," said John Scarffe, director of communications for the Endowment Association.
Scarffe said he was pleased with the donation from the International Communication Foundation. It increased the total to almost $120,000. Other donations have come from Jong Woo Han, who graduated from the University with a master's in economics in 1959. A resident of Seoul, Han serves as chairman of the SungKok Journalism Foundation in Seoul.
Yong L. Kim, Leawood resident, donated $30,000. The KU Korean Association, an alumni chapter in Seoul, donated $10,000. Five South Korean corporations donated $15,000.
Sixty-three KU alumni died in the war and one was missing in action, said Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor.
"It will be really nice for the family and friends of those who served and died in military service," Scarffe said. "It will add a new area that will be grand."
The University will host a dedication ceremony at the memorial in April 2005. The Korean Student Association, the KU ROTC and the American Legion will be among those attending the ceremony.
On June 7, Chancellor Robert Hemenway, Diana Carlin, dean of the graduate school of international programs, Dale Slusser, corporate and foundations director for the Endowment Association, and Weinberg will attend a celebratory reception in Seoul with the KU Korean Association.
Now that the Endowment Association has reached its financial goal for the memorial project, it will focus on raising $600 million for other projects with KU First: Invest in Excellence, the third largest fundraising campaign at the University. Future projects range from construction, providing scholarship support for students and providing professorships.

Investigation continues in ambulance killings
EDWARDSVILLE — As the investigation into the shooting deaths of two emergency medical workers continued yesterday, grieving families and coworkers began making funeral arrangements.
Katherine Malone, 30, and Tye Brown, 31, both of Shawnee,
were shot to death Saturday at the station in Edwardsville where they were based. Malone's ex-husband, Matthew Bass, 37, of Mission, had been charged with two counts of first-degree murder before authorities discovered that he had committed suicide.
Eric Dooley, a spokesman for Metropolitan Ambulance Service Trust, an ambulance service for the two-state Kansas City area, said yesterday that Bass was waiting for Malone and

A jury found that Deanna Laney was legally insane May 9 when she killed her two older sons, ages 6 and 8, in the front yard and left the youngest, now 2, maimed in his crib. Laney, 39, would have received an automatic life sentence had she been convicted of capital murder.

"The main reason is to see all of my old friends here, but there's a lot of good dancers here that bring out the best out of you," he said.
Last Saturday's Pow Wow was just one event of many for the month of April, which is Native American Month. Standing Bear said celebration and education were the two main goals of the month.
"It's a way for us to celebrate our culture and it allows other people to be educated and share the culture, too," Standing Bear said. "A lot of people are afraid to ask questions because they're afraid of offending someone, but I'd rather have them ask."

JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Ariel Sharon engaged in a heated argument yesterday with hardline Cabinet ministers opposed to his plan to withdraw from the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank, government officials said.
Israeli Cabinet against proposed withdrawal

The spat reflected the tough internal pressure that Sharon faces as he tries to move forward with his proposal.
The prime minister has proposed leaving the areas—removing troops and uprooting settlements in the process—to reduce friction between Israelis and Palestinians after more than three years of fighting. He has
In weekend interviews, Sharon said for the first time that Israel would pull out of all of Gaza, uprooting all the settlements there, reversing an earlier indication that three settlements in northern Gaza would remain.
said he will carry out the plan next year if peace efforts with the Palestinians remain stalled.
The pullback in the West Bank would be much more limited only four of about 135 settlements would be removed.
Palestinians charge that the plan is a ruse to trade Gaza for a permanent grasp over most of the West Bank.
They insist that such moves must be coordinated with the U.S.-backed "road map" peace plan, which leads to a Palestinian state.

Hansen was an original resident of Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall when it opened in 2000, and she said she wished her hall had also been equipped with multiple, smaller common rooms.
Riots in four Iraqi cities kill eight U.S. troops
"We had no existing community coming in, so you see how the actual physical set up of the building affects the outcome of the community." Hansen said.
The staircase that goes up from the main lobby will include spindles from the old staircase in Fraser Hall, he said.
There will also be a historical aspect to the hall's design, Stoner said.
"Every building we do, we try to add a historical touch." Stoner said. "It's stuff like that that kind of gives it a little bit of uniqueness."
The hall will be the only building on campus to use an underground ventilating and air conditioning system, said Vince Avila, associate director of Student Housing.
Avila said the underground air conditioning system was better because the neighborhood wouldn't hear a loud air conditioner.
A second scholarship hall for men will eventually be built immediately north of Rieger Scholarship Hall, Stoner said.
The groundbreaking ceremony for Rieger Hall is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 17.

NAJAF, Iraq — Supporters of an anti-American cleric rioted in four Iraqi cities yesterday, killing eight U.S. troops and one Salvadoran soldier in the worst unrest since the fall of Saddam Hussein.
The U.S. military on Sunday reported two Marines were killed in a separate "enemy action" in Anbar province, raising the toll of American service members killed in Iraq to at least 610.
The riots were supporters of anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. They were angry over Saturday's arrest on murder charges of one al-Sadr's aides, Mustafa al-Yacoubi, and the closure of a pro-al-Sadr newspaper.
Near the holy city of Najaf, a gunbattle at a Spanish garrison killed at least 22 people.
Fighting in the Baghdad neighborhood of Sadr City killed seven U.S. soldiers and wounded at least 24.
The military said the fighting erupted after members of a militia loyal to radical Shiite Muslim cleric Muqtada al-Sadr took control of police stations and government buildings in the neighborhood.

Tennessee squeaks out victory in Final Four
NEW ORLEANS - In the end, Tennessee always seems to find a way.
LaToya Davis scored with 1.6 seconds left after LSU's Temeka Johnson lost the ball in the backcourt, giving Tennessee a 52-50 victory over the Lady Tigers in the national semifinals last night.
Nothing has come easy for the Lady Vols this season, but remarkable balance and resiliency
have put them in their 11th NCAA championship game.
With the score tied 50-50 and the clock running down, once again Tennessee put the ball in the hands of Tasha Butts, who scored the winning points in the Lady Vols' last two narrow wins.
She missed this time, giving LSU the ball with 6 seconds left. But Tennessee trapped Johnson in the backcourt, forcing the turnover. The ball squirmed out and Shyra Ely came up with it and quickly fed Davis underneath for an uncontested layup.

SOFTBALL: Strong hitting helps relieve the players' pressure
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A
After a wild pitch and a line drive to center field, the base runner reached third. A bunt by freshman right fielder Ashley Parker drove her in.
That was all that Texas Tech could do, while Kansas added two additional runs in the bottom of the sixth when senior pinch hitter Sylvia Pfeiffer grounded one up the middle and through the gap.
reather Stanley and sophomore designated player Serena Settlemier. Settlemier notched the RBI.
Saturday's game was a 2-1 victory for the Jayhawks. Senior Kara Pierce pitched a complete game, recording nine strikeouts for the victory.
Texas Tech tied the game in the third, and it remained tied until senior pinch hitter Sandy Smith hit in Moppin, who had reached base on a single to shallow right field.
"It helped relieve some of the pressure," Bunge said. "A lot of the players were tight because they haven't been hitted."
Kansas took the lead with two doubles by sophomore left fielder
With the two victories, Humphreys is now 10-6 and Pierce is 13-7.
Kansas' next matchup is 6 p.m.
Wednesday against Missouri.

Jayhawks lost the game 5-2.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 5).
You can make great strides forward this year with the help of an intellectual partner. You provide the motivation, and your partner will help you come up with a good plan.
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Today is an 8. A person you don't always understand, and may not always like, is similarly fascinated with you. Relax. You may be pleasantly surprised.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6.
Being creative isn't the problem. The problem is making it pay Remember that money saved is the same as money earned when you're tallying up.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is an 8.
You're naturally good with words,but now they may be difficult to find.Don't worry. Instead, practice your nonverbal communication.Give gifts.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5.
A work-related decision could
cause changes to your home life as well. Delay your answer if you can. You'll know more about the costs and benefits on Thursday.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8.
The knowledge you seek will come to you, and it will be an insight you won't forget. Believe in the healing power of love. It's a conduit for miracles.
Virgo (Aug. 23.Sept. 22). Today is a 5.
you don't have to be outrageous to achieve your goals, just persistent. You might even earn a bonus just for being so darned polite.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 9.
They say opposites attract, so you may be surprised to find yourself fascinated by a rowdy, rambunctious type. Again.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 5.
The pressure is on, and it may seem like it's all on your shoulders now. That's partially because you've proven to be so trustworthy in the past. People think you can do
everything.Maybe you can
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is an 8.
You'll be busy all day answering calls and catching up with the news. You also should review your to-do list, or else something could sneak up on you.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a5.
You're spurred to action, although you may feel that you're still not quite ready to go. Your concern is quite natural, but it looks as if you've solved all the big problems for now, so full speed ahead.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 9.
Reach out and let somebody know all about your secret dreams. Tell a person who's family, or close to it. He or she can help them come true.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).

Sooners sweep 'Hawks
Pitching, defense keep Jayhawks' offense quiet
Rockford 20
By Ryan Colaiani
rcolaiani@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Amanda Kim Stairrett/Kansan
Oklahoma came to Hoglund Ballpark for a three-game series this weekend touting one of the best pitching staffs in the Big 12 conference.
That pitching silenced the Kansas hitters as the Sooners swept the Jayhawks three games to none. The Jayhawks record dropped to 22-14-1 overall and 1-5 in conference play.
"We are in the midst of ten games against people who are all ranked in the top ten." coach Ritch Price said. "If we keep playing through it and take care of ourselves we will be fine, but it is going to take maturity on our club's part."
The 1-5 conference record puts the Jayhawks in last place in the conference with the 9th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies coming in next weekend. The Jayhawks are not worried about their confidence.
"There is too much senior leadership on this team to really let the other guys get down," senior Ryan Baty said.
The Hawks scored just eight runs the entire weekend. Coming into the series the team was averaging just fewer than nine runs per contest.
"OU has one of the best pitching staffs in the conference and they showed it," first baseman Ryan Baty said. "They were outstanding the entire weekend."
Former Kansas player and coach Floyd Temple attempted to give back an Oklahoma hat to Oklahoma head coach Larry Cochell before Saturday's game. Temple's jersey was retired by the Jayhawks in 1992 and he was honored with a permanent display at Hoglund Ballpark. After Temple threw out the first pitch, Cochell ran out and put the hat on Temple's head.

Amanda Kim Stairrett/Kansan
Diving grabs by third baseman Matt Bose saved runs the entire weekend.
Another reason runs were down was a strong defensive effort by the Sooners.
"The difference in why they won the one run games was how well they played defensively." Price said.
In the series finale yesterday Kansas starting pitcher Mike Zagurski pitched six innings and allowed just two earned runs.
However, an error by left fielder Andy Scholl led to three unearned runs and gave the Sooners a 5-0 lead. The
Kansas sophomore infielder Ritchie Price waited for a pitch as Sean Richardson and Ryan Baty warmed up on deck and in the hole during the fourth inning of Saturday's 5-4 loss to Oklahoma. Price walked, Richardson filed out to left field and Baty filed out to right field.

Jessica Moppin, Olathe sophomore, attempted to catch a throw from first baseman Leah Mountain during yesterday's game against Texas Tech. Moppin had a home run in the fourth inning to help the Jayhawks win 4-1. Kansas swept Texas Tech in the two-game series.
Starters combine to strike out 22 batters
By Jonathan Kealing jkealing@kansan.com Kansas sportswriter
Kansas coach Tracy Bunge says that hitting is contagious. If that's true, the team was catching it all day Sunday.
Kansas (23-16-1, 2-3 Big 12) played a two game series against the Texas Tech Red Raiders (19-22, 1-3 Big 12) this weekend and won both games.
"We don't really plan on going out there and throwing strikeouts." Humphreys said. "In all honesty, I'm not a strikeout pitcher."
Sunday, the Jayhawks defeated the Red Raiders 4-1 behind the pitching of freshman Kassie Humphreys. Humphreys recorded a career-high 13 strikeouts in the victory.
of the third, when sophomore shortstop Destiny Frankenstein lined to right field. Senior catcher Dani May, who had taken advantage of a error in the field to reach base and then stole second base, was driven-in by Frankenstein's hit for the first run of the game.
In the fourth, sophomore second basemen Jessica Moppin pounded one over the left field fence for a solo home run.
Kansas started scoring in the bottom
"We've been talking about me going up there and having a plan," Moppin said. "I have a thing called yes-yes-no, where its no if it a ball. That pitch was ves-ves-ves. A meatball."
Texas Tech retaliated in the fifth with one run after freshman first basemen Brandy Moulin drew a walk.

Shotputter highlights meet with event title
By Michael Phillips mphillips@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Kansas turned in some strong performances Friday and Saturday at the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays in Austin, Texas. The relays were highlighted by freshman shotputter Gavin Ball's section B title.
Ball's shot put of 59-feet-2.25 inches won the Section B title and was NCAA
an NCAA regional qualifying mark.
Coach Stanley Redwine was impressed with Ball's effort. The winning throw came on Ball's last attempt.
PRESIDENT
The throw broke Ball's previous-best
Redwine
mark of 54-feet-11.25-inches, which was set last weekend at Emporia State.
Friday, Junior Abraham Kimeli ran the 1500-meter run in 3:48:99 to finish third.
Also on Friday, junior Dan Ferguson finished 11th in the 3000-meter steeplechase with a time of 9:21.93.
Chris Jones finished fifth in the 5000-meter run with a time of 14:52.23.
Saturday, the Jayhawks were led by iuniors once again.
He was followed by teammate D.J. Hilding, whose time of 15:20.03 placed him 15th.
In the high jump, Brett Terp recorded a tenth place finish with his mark of 6-feet-6.75-inches.
For the women, the distance medley relay team finished seventh with a time of 11:39.81.
Team members were Laura Lavoie, Octavia Garrett, Kim Clark and Megan Manthe.
The team will host the Kansas Relays in two weeks, but Coach Redwine wants to keep the focus on next weekend.
"We have a meet this weekend as well, so we'll try to take it day by day," he said.
The team will compete next Friday and Saturday at the John McDonnell Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark.

Team gains Big 12 victory
Sophomore Christine Skoda moves her winning streak to five straight
By Rahul Sharma

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's tennis team won their third conference match of the season as they defeated visiting Iowa State on Saturday, 5-2, at the Robinson Courts in Lawrence.
The Jayhawks converted on two of three doubles matches as senior Emily Haylock and freshman Ashley Filberth teamed up to defeat Cyclone freshman Jill Palen and sophomore Elizabeth Carmel, 8-3. With the victory, the Jayhawks moved their record to 5-10 overall and 3-2 in the Big 12 Conference.
In the number three slot, reigning Big 12 player of the week Christine Skoda, and freshman Brittany Brown extended their doubles winning streak to seven wins as they ousted freshman Danielle Uscinski and sophomore Charlotte Ljungkrantz, 8-2.
Kansas dominated the singles competition, winning four of six matches. Senior Emily Haylack cruised to a straight set victory over Iowa State's Evangelina Soriano, 6-4, 6-2. Sophomore Christine Skoda continued

to impress coaches, as she defeated Jill Palen in the number three match, 6-4, 6-2. Skoda has won five straight singles matches.
Jayhawk senior Kristen Steinbock had no trouble with Elizabeth Chermel, winning in straight set fashion, 6-3, 6-1. Also, freshman Brittany Brown defeated Danielle Uscinski, 6-4, 6-2.

The best and worst of 2003-04 season
As Kansas fans were forced to once again soak up tears prematurely when the men's basketball season came to an end, there were plenty of ways to put a positive spin on an up-and-down, adventure of a season.
It seems like years ago when Kansas took its first loss of the season to the Stanford Cardinal in Anaheim, Calif. The Jayhawks looked rough that day and it seemed as though nothing could go their way. As Kansas limped to a 64-58 loss, fans immediately yearned for the days of old, when Roy's Boys would run the opponent out of the gym. This high-low stuff Bill Self brought west from Champaign, Ill., looked like it was no fun at all.
As the season grew older, there were still plenty of highs and lows that made this a spring to remember and also forget.
No.3 Worst Moment—In Ames, Iowa, the Jayhawks looked to have the game in hand with an eight-point halftime lead. It looked as though someone slipped sedatives into the Jayhawks' water bottles, though, as Iowa State thoroughly whipped its nationally ranked opponent during the entire second half. After the game, there was yelling and throwing of objects in the locker room, and it started a four-game road losing streak. Not pretty at all.
No.3 Best Moment — The range of emotions displayed in the rematch with Iowa State in Allen Fieldhouse made for an unbelievable game. First, fan-favorite J.R. Giddens exploded for a career-high 24 points, including seven three-pointers. As each of his shots fell, the roof at the Fieldhouse came closer to blowing off. The Jafhawks looked on their way to sweet revenge with a 41-28 halftime lead, but the Cyclones made things interesting in the second half. Iowa State came back and Keith Langford missed a three at the buzzer as the game was sent to overtime. Kansas went on to win, but other than maybe the Michigan State game, it was the best atmosphere all season for a Kansas home game.
No. 2 Worst Moment - Few losses were as humbling as Kansas' loss at Nebraska in February. The Huskers could not seem to miss a shot, and they controlled the paint, which is never easy against Kansas. Part of the problem was that Jeff Graves was in street clothes on the bench because Bill Self questioned his commitment to the program. This was the low-point of the conference season.

No.2 Best Moment—In the Big 12 Conference Tournament, Kansas unleashed one of the finest beatings on the Missouri Tigers in school history. The Jayhawks scored 59 of their 94 points in the second half, and the Tigers looked helpless all along. Wayne Simien scored a career-high 31 points, and had never looked more dominant in a Kansas uniform. Jeff Graves was his usual postseason-self with 14 points, and J.R. Giddens provided the emotion. This was one of the final stops in Missouri's downward spiral that was the 2003-04 season.
No.1 Worst Moment — A loss at home? A loss at home against Richmond? Believe it. There's no problem with the occasional loss in the Fieldhouse, but this one had fans far and wide wondering how good this Kansas team really was. Give Richmond some credit though, because it was a good game. Tony Dobbins jumper in the lane with two seconds left to win the game was one of college basketball's best moments of the season, but for the crowd at the Fieldhouse, it was true heartbreak.
No.1 Best Moment — He's the butt of a lot of stupid jokes and ridiculed by fans sometimes for playing too much like a freshman, but David Padgett provided Kansas fans with the greatest moment in years. In the final game at Missouri's Hearnes Center, the stage was set for Kansas to rip the hearts out of the Tiger players, coaches and fans.
With the game tied at 82 in front of a national television audience, Padgett got the ball on the baseline with just seconds left. He turned and tried to bounce the ball off the rim so someone could tip it back in, but the ball went in instead, and he went from scapegoat to hero with just one shot. After the game, it was the happiest he had looked after any contest this season. Heck, I even remember my jaw dropping as I saw the shot go in. No matter what Padgett goes on to do in his career at Kansas and even afterward, that shot will live in Kansas lore for years and years. Thanks for the memories, DP.

The year
No. 6 Kansas - 81 No. 3 Michigan State - 74 The Jayhawks were impressive in the most anticipated home game of the season. Aaron Miles hit eight free throws, with most of them coming down the stretch to secure the victory. Wayne Simien led all scorers with 28 points, and grabbed eight rebounds. Defensively, the Jayhawks held Michigan State's biggest star, forward Paul Davis, to just 13 points on 3-of-11 shooting. It was Kansas' first win over the Spartans in nearly 17 years, and vaulted the Jayhawks to a No. 1 national ranking.

Richmond – 69 No.12 Kansas – 88 If there was one game fans would take back from the regular season, this would more than likely be it. Kansas' only home loss of the year came as a shock, but the Richmond Spiders played one of their best games of the season. Led by Mike Skroki's 23 points, Richmond rarely led, but hung around all night. Then, with just

seconds left, Tony Dobbins' jumper in the lane sealed the Jayhawks' fate. Kansas' 18.2 percent performance from three-point range and 35.6 percentage from the floor certainly didn't help.

The Jayhawks shot just 18-of-49 from the floor, including hitting just 3-of-20 from three-point range. Even though Stanford never played particularly well, Kansas could not establish any offensive rhythm. Cardinal guard Matt Lottich eventually broke the Jayhawks by hitting five three-pointers and helped give Kansas coach Bill Self his first loss as the Jayhawks' leader.

In their second game in two days in Reno, Nev., the Jayhawks took their second major tumble of the season. There were simply no answers for a Nevada squad that was red-hot from the floor and never slowed down. Kirk Snyder led the way for the Wolfpack with 29 points as the Jayhawks tried to play catch-up from beyond the arc.
Kansas was unsuccessful, hitting just 3-of-18 attempts and suffering a surprising loss.

One of the worst second halves the Jayhawks played all year resulted in their first conference loss of the season.
Despite another double-digit assist performance from Miles and 20 points from Langford, Iowa State never went away.
Keyed by a combined 36 points from guards Curtis Stinson and Jake Sullivan along with Jackson Vroman's presence inside, Kansas looked helpless. The loss began a four-game road losing streak for the Jayhawks.

No. 20 Kansas –
65 Missouri – 56
In the first of three meetings with their bitter border rival Missouri, Kansas played a solid defensive game and escaped with an emotional victory. Each team's starting five played a majority of the minutes in this slugfest, but Missouri's three-point ineptitude eventually cost the Tigers. Simien again led the way for Kansas with 18 points.

Granted with a home atmosphere as a No.4 seed in Kansas City, Mo.'s Kemper Arena, the Jayhawks took full advantage, Kansas pushed and shoved the undersized Illinois-Chicago until it couldn't take it anymore. J.R. Giddens led Kansas with 17 points and plenty of emotion stemming from two huge second-half dunks. The Jayhawks moved past the first round with ease and plenty of momentum. In the locker room following the game, the Jayhawks were tongue-lashed by coach Bill Self for turning the ball over 25 times.

Just two days after demolishing Texas Tech, Kansas got it in return from the Cowboys at Gellagher-tba Arena. All five Cowboy starters scored in double figures and executed perfectly all night on offense. Kansas struggled to catch up as Bill Self was defeated by his coaching mentor Eddie Sutton. Simien again led Kansas with 25 points, but no one else really helped out.
MARCH 13, 2004
No.11 Texas-64 No.18 Kansas-60 Kansas' trip to Dallas for the Big 12 Conference Tournament was cut short by a familiar foe. The Longhorns physically punished the Jayhorns all day just as they did in the teams' first meeting. Texas' platoon of big men was too much for Kansas to handle and senior guard Brandon Mouton again took care of the scoring with 18 points. The loss left Kansas unsure of whether it had a chance of playing in Kansas City, Mo. for the NCAA Tournament opening rounds.
No.21 Kansas - 84 Missouri - 82

No. 21 Kansas - 64
In the final game at Missouri's Hearnes Center, Kansas played the uninvited guest that spoiled the party. In this fast-paced shootout, Kansas had to overcome a career-high 37-point performance from Missouri's Arthur Johnson. He dueled all afternoon with Simien, who scored the majority of his 22 points in the second half. The game came down to the wire, when Aaron Miles hit a clutch three-pointer to put Kansas up by two. After Missouri tied the game on a Jason Conley dunk, David Padgett hit an awkward turnaround jumper to put away the Tigers.

No. 4 Kansas -78 No.12 Pacific -63 After shocking No. 5 seed Providence in the opening round, Pacific hoped for another miracle against Kansas. The Tigers again played a tough game, but the Jayhawks' size inside was too much to overcome. Despite 22 points from Guillaume Yango, Pacific had a tough time staving off a late Kansas run, keyed by Wayne Simien and J.R. Giddens. The victory advanced Kansas to its fourth straight Sweet 16 appearance.

Kansas was left just a few bounces shy of a third consecutive Final Four trip thanks to Georgia Tech. Despite five Jayhawks scoring in double figures, the Yellow Jackets' depth at the guard position left the banged-up combo of J.R. Giddens and Keith Langford aching all day and Aaron Miles over-worked. Jarrett Jack scored 29 points for the Yellow Jackets, and Luke Schenscher added 15 points in the paint. The Jayhawks' long bus ride home from St. Louis forced them to think about next season a week earlier than they wanted to.

Lackluster seasons for Big 12 teams
By Mike Norris
mnorris@kansan.com
kansan Sportswriter
The Big 12 Conference as a whole was disappointing, getting only four invites to the Big Dance, but three of the teams survived to the Sweet 16, and one to the Final Four. As one of the top conferences in the nation, next season should be no different. Here's a look at how the conference's teams fared this season.
Oklahoma St. (14-2 Big 12, 31-3) — The Cowboys finished one of its best seasons in school history with a loss to Georgia Tech Saturday. East Rutherford region MVP John Lucas carried the team to a Big 12 Conference regular season championship, Big 12 Tournament championship and the Final Four. The Cowboys lose senior guard Tony Allen and forward Ivan McFarlin next year.
Texas (12-4, 25-8) — Texas ended its season with a Sweet 16 loss to Xavier.
Possibly the deepest team in the country early in the season, the Longhorns finished the season 4-4 in their last eight games. The disappointing end finished the career of four seniors, including firstteam All-Big 12 player Brandon Mouton. Look for freshman P.J. Tucker to put up monster numbers next season. He will get help from three McDonald' high school All-Americans next year.
Colorado (10-6, 18-11) — The poster team for underachieving, the Buffaloes were hot down the stretch, but it wasn't enough for the NCAA selection committee. A first round loss in the Big 12 Tournament was followed by a first round NIT loss at Oregon. Junior center David Harrison had impressive
numbers during the season (17 p.p.g., 8.8 rebs), but lost his temper far too many times this season. The Buffs lose three senior starters and possibly Harrison to the NBA draft. It could be a long season for coach Ricardo Patton next y.ar.
Texas Tech (9-7, 23-11) — Coach Bobby Knight again turned in a good season for a team that was nothing before he arrived. Senior forward Andre Emmett, the conference's leading scorer, nearly single handedly defeated St. Joseph's in its Tech second round NCAA Tournament loss. Emmett, who is predicted to go in the second round of the NBA draft, is the only significant loss. Freshman guard Jarrius Jackson showed signs of being a pretty good player in the future, but Tech doesn't have much else.
Missouri (9-7, 16-14) — A first round NIT loss, 0-3 against Kansas, a loss in the last game in the Hearnes Center and swirling allegations of NCAA violations
— not quite the season the Big 12 coaches had in mind when they picked the Tigers to win the Big 12 regular season title.
Missouri loses second team all- Big 12 players Arthur Johnson, and Rickey Paulding, as well as Travon Bryant. Missouri will need solid performances from Jimmy McKinney and transfer Jason Conley to have any hope next year. Those NCAA violations probably won't just be swept under the rug, either.
Oklahoma (8-8, 20-11) — The three-time defending Big 12 Tournament champs started out 10-0. A 40-point loss to Connecticut started the Sooners downfall, and a 20-win season wasn't enough to make the NCAA Tournament. A
second round loss to Michigan in the NIT wasn't what this team had in mind, but next year could be a good one for OU. Freshman point guard Drew Lavendar has a huge upside, and they will have sophomore forward Kevin Bookout back next year after missing most of the season with an injury. They lose leading scorer Jason Detrick to graduation.
Iowa St. (7-9, 20-13) — The Cyclones were a model of consistency all season — win at home, lose on the road. ISU went 16-1 at home during the regular season and 1-10 away from Ames, Iowa.
First-year coach Wayne Morgan took a team with no expectations to the NIT final four. Led by senior guard Jake Sullivan, and Big 12 freshman of the year Curtis Stinson, the Cyclones picked up victories against Xavier, Kansas and Texas this year. Sullivan and forward Jackson Vroman, who led the conference in rebounding, won't be back next season. Look for Stinson to have a big year and junior forward Jared Homan showed signs of being a good, physical presence inside.
Morgan may have a team that can chalk-up some quality victories next season.
Kansas St. (7-9, 14-14) — The Wildcats improved some this season, but were hampered by injuries. Freshman standout Cartier Martin missed a big chunk of the season, putting a damper on a highly anticipated freshman campaign. Although the Wildcats finished the season on a high note, defeating the Longorns at home, they once again failed to beat Kansas, extending their losing streak to 21 games against their in-state rival.
Nebraska (6-10, 18-13) — Nebraska defeated Missouri, Kansas, Texas Tech and Arizona St, but also lost to K-State twice and Creighton.
look for him to have a breakout season, if not, look for K-State at the bottom of the standings again.
Forward Brian Conklin led the conference in three-point shooting at .568 percent. The "Huskers were led by senior forward Andrew Drevo and Kansas City native Nate Johnson, who averaged 14 points and 4.5 rebounds-per-game, but all three are lost to graduation next season. Look for juniors John Turek and Corey Muhleisen to be leaders next year. The 2004-05 season might be a long one.
Baylor (3-13, 8-21) — The Bears exceeded everyone's expectations with three conference victories. After an off-season that included the murder of a player and three key transfers, expectations weren't high.
If Martin is healthy next year.
Senior forward Terrance Thomas finished seventh in the Big 12 in scoring at 15.9 points-per-game. Losing John Lucas and Lawrence Roberts to transfers hurt the Bears too much to have a successful season, but Drew held together the pieces. Nonetheless, don't expect much from Baylor next year.
Texas A & M (0-16, 7-21) — The record says it all: zero conference victories and a coach that resigned before the start of the Big 12 Tournament.
It was a season full of disapointment for the Aggies. Their best victory was on the road against Louisiana-Monroe. Next season won't be much different. Look for the Aggies to finish at the bottom, with maybe one or two conference victories.

This was a banner season for the Big 12 women's basketball conference.
Baylor (26-9, 10-6 Big 12)—Baylor ended its season in fifth place in the Big 12 and ranked No. 15 in the last regular season AP poll.
The loss came in the final 0.2 second of the game when officials went to the monitor to determine if a foul had occurred before time ran out.
The conference tied its all-time high by sending nine teams to post-season play, seven of which went to the NCAA Tournament.
Baylor returns 78% of its scoring next year, and loses two seniors.
In the NCAA Tournament, Baylor was seeded fourth and advanced to the Sweet 16, losing to No.2 seed Tennessee.
Colorado(22-8,11-5Big12)—Colorado's regular season ended with the Buffaloes in third place. They were No. 17 in the last AP poll.
Senior Tera Bjorklund is a finalist for WBCA All-American. Colorado is losing its three top scorers and the only three players who started all of the Buffalo's games.
Iowa State (18-15, 7-9 Big 12) Iowa State has traditionally been a leader in women's basketball in the Big 12. This year, the Cyclones concluded their season ranked ninth in the Big 12.
Colorado received a six seed in the NCAA tournament, where it was beaten by No. 11 seed UC-Santa Barbara.
Iowa State received a bid to the WNIT and went all the way to the semifinals before losing to University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Iowa State and Kansas met twice this season, with the Cyclones winning both games. Their combined margin of victory was 37 points.
The Cyclones will lose senior guard Erica Junod. Junod played in and started 30 games, and was the team's fifth leading scorer.
Kansas State (25-6, 14-2 Big 12) Kansas State concluded the regular season in second place in the Big 12. The Wildcats were also ranked No. 8 in the last regular season AP poll.
Kansas State was a No.2 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Wildcats beat Valparaiso but lost to Minnesota in the second round.
K-State had two finalists for the Kodak/WBCA All-American award. They were senior Nicole Ohlide and junior Kendra Wecker, both from Kansas.
The Wildcats lose three seniors, including Ohlde. The three seniors accounted for about 28 percent of the team's scoring. Ohlde and senior Amy Dutmer both were starters for K-State for most of the season.
Missouri (17-13.7-9 Big 12)—Missouri continued a string of postseason appearances with a trip to the NCAA Tournament, as a No. 11 seed. They finished the regular season ranked No. 7 in the Big 12.
Missouri lost its only Tournament game to six-seed Stanford.

'Hawks trying to survive in transition
It wasn't supposed to be like this for the Kansas women's basketball team.
The word "transition" wasn't supposed to come up this year. The word "change" should have referred to an improvement in record.
Yet, when the Jayhawks expected it the least, change affected them the most.
sports commentary
Kansas returned seven players and 90 percent of its scoring from last year's team that went 11-18 and 3-13 in the Big 12 Conference. The Jayhawks had coach Marian Washington running the plays for 31 years.
Just when the team settled down, everything started to change.
On Jan. 29, Washington announced she was taking a leave of absence from the team for undisclosed medical reasons.

"Everybody was very hurt,
shocked, depressed," freshman
guard Lauren Ervin said.
One could tell by watching the team before and after Washington's absence. The Jayhawks did win their next game under interim coach Lynette Woodard — an emotional victory over Oklahoma State that the players dedicated to Marian — but lost their final ten games, with Washington announcing her retirement on Feb. 27. The team showed strength, but still seemed distracted. Kansas finished 9-19, going 2-14 in the Big 12.
What was supposed to be a season of progress had ended up all wrong.
Fast forward to March 29. A news conference is held to announce Bonnie Henrickson as new women's basketball coach.
The coach looks like a good fit. Henrickson brings a history of success from Virginia Tech, where her teams won at least 20 games in each of her seven seasons. Kansas offers Henrickson a challenge in the most competitive conference in the nation, and also a hefty paycheck for her services.
Meanwhile, junior guard Blair Waltz and sophomore guard Erica Hallman sit in the front row, waiting for what the new coach has to say.
"We're very sensitive right now to the transition of players and how important it is for us to get this group to embrace change, because there will be change," Henrickson said.
stair and Erica both know first-hand. There are a few nods
from the two, but no surprises.
After such a tough season — such a tough transition the changes have really just begun.
Changes will be plenty, but Hallman said the lavwhawks are ready.
Henrickson will bring new offensive and defensive schemes along with a business-like attitude to the Jayhawks.
722 Mass. 830-8030
"It helps because we have a direction now. We have different expectations and a new system," Hallman said, stopping abruptly to add the two words she had been thinking the entire time. "I'm excited."
Not only have the times changed, the Jayhawks have changed.
And, after so much transition in the past year, this might just be the biggest conversion of all.

WRAP-UP: Big 12 season ends
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4B
Missouri also had the dubious distinction of being Kansas' only Big 12 road victory.
The Tigers promptly avenged their loss and defeated the Jayhawks 76-49 at Allen Fieldhouse.
Missouri will lose 69 percent of its scoring to graduation this year. It will also lose All-American nominee Evan Unrau, the only player to play in and start all of the team's games.
Nebraska (18-12, 7-9 Big 12) — Nebraska played a tough nonconference schedule and did not win enough games to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. The Cornhuskers finished No. 8 in the Big 12 and received a bid to the WNIT.
Nebraska will lose four seniors, who account for 63 percent of the team's scoring and started every game for the Comhuskers this season.
Nebraska won its first WNIT game, before losing a close game to visiting Oregon State.
Okahoma [24-9, 9-7 Big 12] — For Okahama, the regular season ended with a No. 6 manking in the Big 12.
Oklahoma proceeded to win the Big 12 Tournament, over higher ranked teams such as Texas and Kansas State.
Oklahoma was ranked No. 11 in the final regular season poll, and was seeded No. 3. It beat No. 14 Marist before being stopped by No. 6 seed Stanford, the same team that ousted Missouri from the Tournament.
Oklahoma will return 62 percent of their scoring, but will lose two of its most regular starters.
Oklahoma State (8-20, 3-13 Big 12)
— Oklahoma State found itself in third place in the Big 12, after suffering losses to the league's best and worst teams.
The Cowgirls came to Lawrence just days after the Jayhawks learned that their coach would be leaving. Emotions ran high, and the Jayhawks picked up one of
their two conference victories.
OSU will lose three seniors. The three scored 34 percent of the team's points. SeniorTrish Skibbe accounted for most of those points, until she left the team in early March for personal reasons.
Texas (30-5, 14-2 Big 12) — Texas was the Big 12's regular season champion. Tied with K-State, Texas defeated K-State in their one match up.
The Longhorns spent part of the season ranked No.1 nationally but finished the season ranked No.4.
Texas was a No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the Sweet 16 by beating Southern University and Michigan State before losing to Louisiana State. Ironically, it was Texas who knocked out LSU the year before.
Only one Longhorn will leave the team after this season. Stacy Stephens accounted for 16 percent of the team's scoring. Stephens and junior Heather Schreiber are also All-American finalists.
Texas A&M (9-19, 2-14 Big 12) —
Traditionally the Big 12 women's basketball's doormat, A&M was able to beat Kansas at home this year.
Finishing 11 out of 12, the team's 2-14 record was one victory less than what it posted the year before. Coach Gary Blair was brought in this season to turn the struggling program around.
A&M's future is complicated by the loss of four seniors. They accounted for 53 percent of the team's scoring as well as most of the team's starting minutes.
Texas Tech (25-8, 10-6 Big 12) — It was a fourth place finish for the Lady Raiders finish. After spending time at No. 1 nationally, the team's final AP ranking was No. 14.
The squad played two games in the NCAA Tournament, dropping Maine before falling to Louisiana Tech in the second round.
Tech will lose five seniors from this year's squad, accounting for 34 percent of its scoring. The team's third leading scorer, Jia Perkins, left after 16 games.

Topeka police arrest Lawrence murder suspect
By Neeley J. Spellmeier
nspellmeier@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Topeka Police Department arrested the suspect in Sunday morning's homicide last night near the intersection of 21st Street and Gage Boulevard in Topeka.
Cosby is the suspect in the shooting death of Robert Tyrone Martin, 28. Martin was found dead Sunday morning
Someone called the Topeka police in relation to a suspicious male about 8:40 p.m. at the intersection. When police arrived, the person began to run away. Police caught up to the man and identified him as Lafayette Damon Ester Cosby, 24, who had been named yesterday morning by the Lawrence Police Department as the suspect in the homicide. The Topeka police held the suspect until Lawrence police were able to pick him up and transport him back to Lawrence.

The police were unsure of a motive because there was no indication of fighting or conflicts, he said.

Schools enforce prerequisites
By Rupal Gor
rgor@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students with problems enrolling online should think twice before blaming the computer system and instead double-check the prerequisites for classes they want to take.
As of now, departments and schools at the University of Kansas have a system of checking to make sure students are qualified to enroll in classes. The system checks prerequisites and grades from students' transcripts. Advisers of the schools and departments previously had to go through student records manually to check if students have fulfilled prerequisites.
Staff at the University Registrar's office is working on a new prerequisite checking process, which is managed on the Enroll and Pay Web site. Bob Turvey, student system administrator, said the business and journalism schools began using the system this spring because of problems with students enrolling in classes without completing prerequisites. He expects the math department to use prerequisite checking by the fall.
Prerequisite checking sets up logic, or information about prerequisites, in the computer system so that the system knows if a student can take a class, Turvey said.
FINDING PREREQUISITES
Students can find out if they need pre-requisite courses online at the Enroll and Pay Web site or in the Undergraduate Course Catalog.

It would prevent students from enrolling in classes without previous requirements.
Students would not have the hassle of dropping or adding classes later in the semester if they could not get into the class in the first place, said Mary Boatright, undergraduate graduation

Teachers, students gain experience from language programs
English goes global
By Patrick Cady
pcady@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Though known for his work in teaching and writing at the University of Kansas, Brian Daldorph spent time teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) in Senegal last year and in Japan during the early 1990s.
A foreign class gathered in front of him in an expectant silence, as a colleague introduced him in flowing yet alien Japanese syllables. That finished, his class began.
As Daldorph discovered, teaching ESL can be a means to adventure or a novel way to teach. But in the end, it all comes down to the language.
"This area of education and the professional work that follows is absolutely life-changing for the people who get in it," said Margaret Coffey, associate director and senior language specialist at the University's Applied English Center.

ESL has emerged because English has
"It's definitely the language of commerce around the world," she said.
The students she teaches look at English as a skill necessary for success in their own countries, Coffey said. Because of that and the fact that English is so widespread, ESL teachers can find a job in Japan, Korea, Austria or China.
The experience gained from teaching abroad can be valuable to future careers
and a chance to travel abroad, said Carol Rose, executive director of the Center for International School of Business.

"If you really want to go abroad, teaching English is a good way to get there." Rose said.

Jewell said Jensen was chosen because he was associated and familiar with the institute. Jensen and Jewell know each other from National Cancer Institute meetings. Jensen was also a member of the external advisory board for the University's Cancer Research Program while Jewel was director.
Jensen's position at the institute is funded by a $500,000 donation from the Kansas Masonic Foundation.
The donation was made in honor of Jewell, who will step down as the institute's director but continue his teaching and medical career at KU Med.
The Kansas Masonic Cancer Research Institute has collaborations with several departments at the University of Kansas Hospital, the University of Kansas in Lawrence and other life sciences research facilities in the area.

Lawrence fuel prices on the rise
Despite increasing prices for gasoline costs still lower than national average
By Steve Vockrodt
svockrodt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Amanda Kim Stairrett/Kansan
At prices of about $1.68 per gallon, Lawrence gas costs less than the national average of $1.75 per gallon.
The prices in Lawrence are higher than they've been in recent weeks, though.
Part of the reason for rising gas prices was last week's announcement from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, that it would reduce production of crude oil by nearly 1 million gallons. The U.S. Department of Energy also predicted that the national average would increase to $1.83 per gallon this spring.
Gas prices reflect projections of future oil supply, and the current uncertainty of future gas supplies and availability drives gas prices up, said Paul Willhite, professor and chairman of the chemical and petroleum engineering department.
Ching
Willhite also said that oil prices were based on U.S. dollar amount, and the devaluation of the U.S. dollar pushes prices higher. With the devalued dollar in mind, OPEC countries want to maintain income levels against the dollar and can do so by increasing prices.
The subsequent rise in gas prices has forced Lawrence gas stations to tread the line between competition and maintaining a profitable business.
"They blame it on the war. That's what it all boils down to."
Anthony Cahill, assistant manager of Kwik Shop, 1846 Massachusetts St., said he continuously had to shop prices at neighboring

Nicole Pounds, Great Bend freshman, pumped gas at Baguio Mart LLC, 2540 Iowa St. Pounds said she was worried about the rising gas prices because it took one tank of gas for her to drive home to Great Bend, which is about 216 miles away. When in Lawrence, Pounds doesn't drive a lot because she lives in Oliver Hall and rides the bus.
gas stations and offer customers an incentive to choose his store. He checks local gas prices and reports back to corporate headquarters, which then sets the final price.
Kwik Shop offered $1.69 per gallon of unleaded gas, which matched the Phillips 66, 1823 Massachusetts St., across the street.
Cahill said instead of undercutting Phillips 66 prices, Kwik Shop allows customers to save 2 cents per gallon on gas with a Dillons card, because the Kroger company owns both Kwik Shop and Dillons.
"They blame it on the war," Cahill said. "That's what it all boils down to."
Cahill's own perspective on the gas prices revolves more around the oil companies themselves.
Cahill is used to customer complaints about fuel prices and their reasons behind why they think gas prices are jumping.
"We only charge what they charge," Cahill said. "If they would drop their prices, we would drop ours."
Lawrence residents can at least appreciate that prices locally are still relatively low compared to other places. On a
recent trip to San Francisco, Amanda Leland, Lawrence resident, saw gas prices of around $2.59 per gallon.

Senator wants seat for nontrads back
By Andy Marso
amarso@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
L. Paul Bremer, the top U.S. official in Iraq, canceled a trip to Washington this week, a Senate aide said yesterday. The aide said Bremer was to have given a closed-door briefing Thursday to the full Senate on the situation in Iraq, but Senate officials were informed yesterday morning that the visit to Washington had been put off. No
The Associated Press
Ever since Student Senate voted to replace one Student Senate seat for nontraditional students with a seat for the Stouffer Place apartment complex on March 3, Paul Van Cleave has tried unsuccessfully to get the seat back.
Van Cleave, nontraditional senator, has introduced legislation to restore the seat every week since the vote. His bill passed the Student Rights committee last week but narrowly failed in the University Affairs committee.
Van Cleave has no problem with Stouffer Place getting a senator, but he doesn't think it should come at the expense of a nontraditional seat, he said.
"Having a Stouffer Place senator is a great idea," Van Cleave said. "But taking away one senator from a group that's larger than the senior class just isn't a fair way to do it." Van Cleave said.
Unless Van Cleave restores the nontraditional senate seat, the number of nontraditional senators will go from three to two next year. Van Cleave said nontraditional students were already under-represented when they had three senators, because it is difficult to pinpoint how many nontraditional students are at the University.
Nontraditional Student Services defines nontraditional students as undergraduates who commute 10 or more miles to school, are married, have a child, are military veterans or are at least three years older than their classmates. The University doesn't keep an exact number of the nontraditional students, but Nontraditional Student Services estimates that there are about 5,000.
American officials would not say when they would move to arrest Muqtada al-Sadr, who is holed up in the main mosque in Kufa, south of Baghdad, guarded by armed supporters.
As Senate rules stand now, those 5,000 students would be represented by two senators next year. In comparison, the 5,580 graduate students at the University are represented by eight senators.
The bill that replaced gave Stouffer Place a seat was originally written to add a Stouffer Place senator and a Jayhawker Towers senator without taking

"I think Senate misidentified what kind of place Stouffer is."

BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. administrators in Iraq declared a radical Shiite cleric an "outlaw" yesterday and announced a warrant for his arrest, heightening a confrontation
away a seat from anywhere else. Andy Knopp, student body president, said he was concerned about more housing groups asking for senators if Stouffer Place and Iavahwer Towers got seats.
Arrest warrant issued for radical Shiite cleric
Tai Vokins Overland Park senior
Knopp spoke against the Jayhawker Towers seat and said he would support the Stouffer Place seat only if it replaced a nontraditional seat so the total number of senators wouldn't increase. He said a Stouffer Place representative would be able to address many of the concerns of nontraditional students because many Stouffer Place residents were married and have children. The bill passed with Knopp's revisions.
Tai Vokins, Overland Park senior and nontraditional student, said the compromise was unfair because many residents of Stouffer Place were traditional graduate students.
"I think Senate misidentified what kind of place Stouffer is," Vokins said.
Vokins and James Owen, law senator, have worked with Van Cleave to get the nontraditional seat restored.
Van Cleave said he would try to get the bill on the agenda for Wednesday's meeting by bringing it through the Student Executive Committee. He said if that failed he would try to bring it off the floor during the meeting.
Jillian Anderson. Fort Scott junior and nontraditional student, said she appreciated Van Cleave's efforts. She said she hadn't seen Senate doing much for nontraditional students and that more representation would help.
"As long as it's not detrimental to have more senators, I think the more the better." Anderson said.

BUDGET OVERVIEW: A 'KANSAN' SERIES
Budget changes effective, but just a one-time solution
One of the main sticking points of the budget proposed by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is the reallocation of certain funds at the University of Kansas.

this tactic has been used at a federal level before but ie
Budget reallocations could use restricted fees for salary increases at the University. The Legislature should pass this only if it passes a resolution assuring voters that this is a one-time solution.
level before but is fairly innovative for Kansas. The premise behind the changes is that there are budget excesses in certain areas of the University. The budget will
put some of the excess into a one-time account to help fund Senate Bill 345, which calls for a 3 percent salary increase. The bill was passed in 1999 but would be implemented now with the funds from this year's budget.
Provost David Shulenburger said he thought the bill was strong.
"We're getting a trade-off of taking funds one time, in return for permanently adding to the budget of the University the amount of the salary increase," Shulenburger said.

one year, Shulenburger said there would be problems. He received a commitment from Sebelius that the costs would only be for one year, but the Legislature should join the resolve.
In order to show a good faith effort of compromise, the Legislature should pass a resolution that binds the state to fund salary increases in future years, without the use of restricted fees.
SB 345 is important because it offers an increase to all state employees' salaries, which
would include employees at the University. This increase would allow the University to stay competitive with peer research institutions.
But how does the state decide which costs are excessive and which costs can afford to be cut for reallocation?
For this purpose, the governor called in the B.E.S.T. teams.The B.E.S.T. teams are part of an agency that specializes in looking at business efficiency. They look at different areas of expenditure and attempt to find areas where money can be cut. Sebelius asked these teams to find 10 percent to cut out. That 10 percent will help to go toward the salary increase.
Shulenburger said the teams appeared to be one of the better possible solutions to the SB 345 problems.
"If she says there's going to be savings in these categories because of the B.E.S.T. teams, then we don't have better logic to apply," Shulenburred said.
But not everyone is so sure that the B.E.S.T. teams are the best solution.
Student Senate legislative director Blake Shuart said some of the costs were a mystery.
"Pertaining to B.E.S.T. team analysis of the specific
fees, they really seem arbitrary to me," Shuart said. "The information on exactly how they arrived at these cuts has not been easy to come by."
One of the main arguments against the teams is that the proposed budget will take control of restricted fees away from students. Money that was originally slated for Hilltop Childcare Center, for example, will now be used for SB345.
Some don't agree with the philosophy, but it appears to be the best possible solution. The B.E.S.T. teams aren't taking money from sources that need those particular funds. The purpose is to find the areas that can afford cuts. If SB 345 is to be funded, the cost will be a one-time fee to organizations that can afford the hit.
The bill should pass, as long as it is a one-time fix because this should not be more than a one-time cost and because the areas being affected are funds that can handle the loss. The money will be taken from areas of excess, not from areas with in need.
So while the numbers may seem murky, they are perfectly understandable to a professional. The B.E.S.T. team for the job can handle the allocations.

U.S. intelligence needs help, not Clarke
COMMENTARY
Richard Clarke, President Bush's former counterterrorism chief, has come under fire from the Republican CENNIAL PARTY. Party in recent
Anna Gregory opinion@hansan.com
weeks after Clarke's testimony in front of Congress and the 9/11 Commission revealed his true feelings about the current administration's commitment to the War on Terror.
Clarke pointed out two failings of
the Bush administration. First, though the president and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice were warned about the threat of Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden when they first took office, they did not take the warning seriously until the Sept. 11 attacks. The second accusation made by Clarke is that Bush's war in Iraq is taking needed resources and energy away from the War on Terror.
Republican response to Clarke's testimony and his new book, Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror, which gives more detail to Clarke's claims, has been predictable. Republican leaders, instead of defending their actions against Clarke's claims, have attacked Clarke's credibility.
Last week, Sen. Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) accused Clarke of lying under oath. In July 2002, Clarke testified in front of a joint congressional inquiry on the Sept. 11 attacks. Frist claims that in that hearing Clarke was not at all critical of the
aumnistration's pursuit of Al-Qaeda. Frist points to Clarke's present testimony as a complete contradiction of what Clarke said two years ago.
Conservative columnist Robert Novak accused Clarke of joining ranks with the Kerry campaign in an article in last week's Chicago Sun-Times. Though Clarke has publicly declared that he would not accept any position offered to him by the Kerry campaign or a Kerry administration, Novak claims
that Clarke is in cohorts with Rand Beers, the successor of Clarke who left the Bush administration for a position in the Kerry campaign.
Our government officials need to be asking themselves what they can do to better American intelligence and better protect the citizens of this country instead of how they can cut down Richard Clarke.
Maybe Clarke did change his tune. Maybe Clarke is even a Democrat, or at least a Democratic supporter. But both of these accusations miss the point. The point is that Clarke, a reputable enough person to serve under multiple administrations — both Democrat and Republican — as the expert on terrorism, says
that we did not do the best job we could have in preventing Sept. 11 then and preventing future terrorist attacks now.

Sebelius on short list for Kerry's vice president
John Edwards offers boyish good looks and a trial lawyer's verbal skills. Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is a heartland governor whose gender is another factor. And William Cohen provides political balance: He's a Republican.
They're part of a talented field
talked up as entries in the John Kerry running-mate sweep-stakes, each with something to bring to the Democratic presidential ticket. Although many Democrats want Kerry to name a running mate soon, he doesn't appear to be in any hurry.
Kerry's selection process is unlikely to yield a decision for weeks. There are no assurances he will choose before the nominating convention in late July.

Kansas to get less funds for low-income students
WASHINGTON—Eleven states, including Kansas, will get less federal money for poor students next school year, while the 39 other states and the District of Columbia will get more, new figures show.
Under law, the Education Department is supposed to use the most current, reliable population data available in determining how to distribute more than $12 billion.
The dollar changes come about for two reasons: the use of new estimates of where poor students live, and overall
spending increases in the federal aid program known as Title I.
So the agency has plugged in census data released last year, reflecting family incomes in 2000.
Poll: Support eroding for Bush, Iraq war
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Public approval of President Bush's handling of Iraq has slipped to a new low — alongside his overall job rating — after last week's grisly deaths of four contractors in Fallujah, a poll says.
Still, a majority supports his decision to use military force in Iraq, says the poll released yes-
Four in 10, or 40 percent, approve of the way Bush is handling Iraq, while 53 percent disapprove. That's down from six in 10 who approved in mid-January, according to the poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
Bush's overall job approval is at 43 percent, and 47 percent disapproved of Bush's job performance.

TOPEKA: Suspect tried and acquitted in 1997 Lawrence murder
The University Daily Kansan in November 1997. Cosby was tried in the death of David E. Walker, a Lawrence resident, who was stabbed and bled to death at Colony Woods, 1301 W. 24th St., in November 1997. Cosby was acquitted because the jury ruled the death self defense.
Yesterday afternoon, before the suspect was arrested, an outsider might not have thought anything unusual had occurred at Jefferson Commons. Residents were taking advantage of the spring weather by reading and playing basketball outside, while others relaxed indoors with their doors open. But safety concerns were still on everyone's minds.
Molly Luttrell, Olathe sophomore, lives below apartment 1032, where the shooting took place. She wasn't home Sunday morning when the homicide occurred but said she was in disbelief. She and her roommate discussed whether they would resign their lease or
"No matter what anyone says, am I freaked out to be here? Absolutely."

move but hadn't decided yet.
Luttrell said she talked to a manager immediately after arriving home Sunday, and the manager had reassured her everything was under control and safe.
Luttrell kept the television set on in her room all night last night because she was bothered by silence. She didn't fall asleep until after 3 a.m.
"No matter what anyone says, am I freaked out to be here? Absolutely." Luttrell said.
Luttrell said she had always felt safe at home, but now being at home makes her feel on edge.
"It was cool to live here for a year," she said. "But now that this has gone down, I'm skeptical."
Luttrell had talked to friends who lived in Jefferson Commons who were also shocked.
Ryan Stone, Olathe junior, and his roommate, Chris McKern, Lawrence resident, were stunned by the event. They live two floors below the apartment where the incident happened.
They said they were surprised anything like this had happened, because the residents who lived in apartment 1032 were some of the quieter residents in the building. They thought of their building as friendly.
"I don't feel unsafe." McKern said. "It's just a shock."
McKern still planned to resign his lease, but Stone wasn't sure. This weekend had definitely played into his uncertainty, hesaid.
Others are sure they will leave.
Lindy Collins, Merriam senior, said he and his roommates had been disappointed with the complex since moving in. His roommate's car has been broken into twice since last summer, he said.
He said they had planned to

Nick Spivey, Knoxville, Tenn., junior, said he was surprised at the crime in Lawrence. Part of the reason he moved to Lawrence and into his apartment was because he thought it would be safe, he said.
"It doesn't seem like it would happen in such a small town," he said.
He and his roommates have been trying to make more of an effort to lock their door, especially during the day, because of other, smaller crimes they had heard about. Now they'll be making sure that their door is locked.

NASA's Spirit rover completes mission
The Associated Press
PASADENA, Calif. — NASA's Spirit rover wrapped up its primary mission to Mars yesterday as it continued to roll across the planet's surface on an extended tour that could last through September.
"Spirit has completed its part of the bargain, and Opportunity doesn't have much left to do," said Mark Adler, manager of the $820 million mission.
The unmanned robot, marking its 90th full day on Mars, had accomplished all of the tasks NASA considered essential to declare the joint mission a success. Its twin rover, opportunity, was getting close to achieving the same.
the mission's key tasks included a requirement that one of the rovers travel at least 1,980 feet—a mark Spirit surpassed on
Saturday.
Between the two of them, the rovers also had to take stereo and color panoramas of their surroundings, drive to at least eight locations and operate simultaneously for a minimum of 30 days.
NASA assumed technical and other problems would ground the rovers fully one-third of the time they operated on Mars.
Despite computer memory problems that left Spirit sidelined for 21/2 weeks, it has still spent more days at work than expected. Opportunity must function for another 20 days before meeting all its goals, Adler said.
NASA has extended the mission through September. If the rovers continue to function, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory will apply for money to extend the project again, Adler said.

ESL: Center teaches language, American culture
"I liked having students from many countries as my students," Seibel said.
In college he enjoyed linguistics and met ESL teachers. Eventually he tried it himself.
Now he is the director of the Applied English Center.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The center, located on the top floor of Lippincott Hall north of Watson Library, takes international students and puts them through reading, writing and spoken English classes. This curriculum prepares the students for an English competency exam.
In addition to helping their language skills, the center helps the international students learn more about America and its society. Seibel said students who pass the center's curriculum tend to do well at the University.
The center's program, and ESL in general, are part of a global learning process, Seibel said.
"I'm a great believer in international education," Seibel said. "It's one of the great hopes for the world, in that intelligent young people can stay in a country other than their own."
Teachers often bring their own international experiences to the center.
Kathryn Algren, lecturer at the center, came to the University from Saudi Arabia. She said teaching in the United States was different and somewhat more challenging than teaching in Saudi Arabia.
Algren was paid at the same level as other instructors in Saudi Arabia, she said. But that isn't the case in the United States. Despite
that, she has found advantages to continuing her career in Kansas
"On the other hand, in the States we have access to so much new information and material in our field," Algren said.
There are also options for further professional development, through local and national organizations and conferences, she said.
ESL Abroad
Sean Nimtz, a Kansas City, Kan., graduate student, would see hundreds of students in his classroom while teaching in Japan.
Nimtz taught ESL to elementary, junior high and adult groups, planning different lessons for each grade. Despite what might seem like a logistical nightmare, Nimtz said he loved every minute of it.
He and Daldorph took part in the Japan Exchange and Teaching program or JET. This program gives students graduating from college a chance to experience Japan, even if they don't have ESL experience.
According to the JET program's Web site, jetprogramme.org, prospective applicants are required to have a bachelor's degree, a strong control of the English language and be younger than 40 years old.
The yearly salary after insurance and tax expenses is equivalent to $34,000.
But the value of the ESL trips goes beyond the monetary reimbursement, Algren said, who also taught in Japan.
"In Japan, I really appreciated the earnestness of the students and the shy eagerness with which
OWNING THE SKILLS
Think you have what it takes to teach English as a Second Language? If so, here are some skills and attributes that might come in handy:
Have experience learning a foreign language, so as to know what's involved in longy acquisition
Have the ability to be sensitive to many different cultures.
Be familiar in the logic behind the English language
Have good class management skills.
Be willing to work hard to make every class interesting.

hey approached speaking to a real' American," she said.
"I saw that they had a hoop and net in the camp, but no basketball," Leonard said. "So I bought a ball and we would go play after English lessons."
But besides fun and games, it takes work to teach ESL. There is a misunderstanding that students can go abroad and teach English solely because they are fluent, Seibel said.
"We can't promote the idea that people without training can just go out and teach," Seibel said. "If that were true, then it would seem that there is not a lot of value in those degrees."

No holds barred for Jayhawks
By Kevin Flaherty kflahery@kansan.com Kansan senior spwriter
A large group of children sat by the football practice fields yesterday, waiting anxiously for the practice to kick off.
Mark Mangino, Kansas football coach, walked up to the children and told them that it took a dedication to schoolwork to be a great Kansas football player. After talking about the need to stay focused on school, Mangino walked off.
"I got to go to work now," Mangino said to the kids. "If I don't go they might fire me."
With that, the second open practice
of the spring season began. The session was the first open to the fans when the players were in full pads and the last time fans will get to see the team before the spring scrimmage on April 18.
The fact that the players wore pads led to some extra hitting, but Mangino said the game was mostly mental at this point in the spring.
"We're throwing a lot of stuff at our kids," Mangino said. "When we come out and practice, we don't put any limitations on what the offense can execute or what the defense can. They can do whatever they want to each other, and I like the way they are reacting."

All-American football player switches it up
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansan senior sportswriter
The do-it-all Freshman AllAmerican has played both cornerback and wide receiver through the spring. He could rotate positions all the way through two-a-day practices in August.
Charles Gordon never could pick a position.
"We just haven't figured out what to do with him," Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said. "He's a playmaker at both positions."
In fact, Gordon may be one of the most dangerous punt return men in the Big 12 Conference, and he is a true fulltime player. When he came to Kansas, Gordon said he expected to only play offense, but that doesn't mean he wasn't prepared to play multiple positions.
After all, he played wide receiver, free safety, returned kicks and was even his team's kicker in high school.
Gordon said that he had no preferences, but he did get ribbed by the other wide receivers a bit when he lined up at cornerback.
"They call me a traiter sometimes, just a lot of little iokes." Gordon said.
Both positions have its advantages. At cornerback, Gordon is a natural athlete with the quickness and size to cover most receivers. He had a couple of highlight hits and even got a sack in the Oklahoma State game. But it's at receiver that helped to propel him onto the Freshman All-American team. After a redshirt season, Gordon led Kansas in receptions last season with 57 catches and tied for the team lead with 769 yards.

The Naismith Memorial Basketball
An eventful year for University of Kansas' former interim coach and standout player Lynette Woodard has ended with basketball's highest honor: A spot in the Hall of Fame.
PETER J. HOLT
Hall of Fame announced its six honorees for induction. Woodard will now join her mentor and the woman she replaced as coach, Marrian Washington, in the Hall.
The Hall is locat ed in Springfield, Mass. and dedicated to James Naismith, founder of basketball and first Kansas men's coach.
Woodard
Woodard, who was the Women's Committee nominee, is in her first year of eligibility.
She holds the record for most points scored by a player in women's college basketball and the University's records for field goals and field goal attempts.
A native of Wichita, Woodard was former coach Marian Washington's most successful recruit. After leaving Kansas, Woodard played professionally in Italy before returning to the United States for the inaugural and second season of the WNBA.
Woodard played basketball from 1978-1981, before women's basketball became an NCAA sport.
Woodard also had the distinction of being the first female Harlem Globetrotter.
Woodard, who has been on the coaching staff for five years, may or may not return to Kansas next year.
At a news conference that announced Bonnie Henrickson as the new coach, athletics director Lew Perkins indicated that Woodard's role was still being evaluated.
Reports in The Kansas City Star indicated that Woodard had interviewed for the coaching position at the Phoenix Mercury WNBA team.
Clyde Drexler, Bill Sharman, Maurice Stokes, Drazen Dalipagic and Jerry Colangelo will join Woodard in the Hall of Fame on Sept. 10 this year.

BASKETBALL ANALYSIS
Kansas could sign two more high school stars
By Mike Norris
mnorris@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
The men's college basketball season ended last night. But don't tell that to college coaches.
Recruitment for the 2004-05 freshman class is still in full swing as coaches around the country do what they can to nail that one prospect who might be the missing piece to the championship puzzle.
10
In the case of the Jayhawks, there might be two missing pieces. Kansas thought its recruiting process was all but wrapped up when it signed Brooklyn point guard Russell Robinson, the No. 32 overall high school senior on Rivals.com. It also signed center Darnell Jackson and the No. 33-ranked player center Alexander "Sasha" Kaun.
That was until last week, when it learned that two high school stars were considering Lawrence.
Malik Hairston, the No. 2-ranked high school senior shooting guard in the country according to Rivals.com
Hairston
Giles
said he would decide this week if he would become a Jawhawk.
Hairston scored 11 points in the McDonald's High-School All-American game last Wednesday and followed a junior season in which he averaged 22 points, 12 rebounds, six assists and three blocks with a similar senior campaign.
Hairston said he was considering Kansas, UCLA, and possibly one other school he won't identify. But Jackson, a 6-foot-9, 240-pound forward from Midwest City, Okla., said he had a feeling Hairston will accompany him to Lawrence.
Another possible recruit, 6-foot-11
center Seattle native C.J. Giles, said he may want to continue his basketball career in Lawrence.
Giles' situation is more complicated because he has already signed a letter of intent to play at the University of Miami.
That was before former Hurricane coach Perry Clark was fired. Now Giles is asking for his release from Miami so he can choose between Kansas and Arizona. If Jayhawk fans are looking for an edge, they can find it in the fact that Giles' dad Chester played for Kansas from 1798-1980.
But Miami isn't quite giving up on Giles yet. Athletics director Paul Dee was unavailable for comment, but the Miami athletics department said it won't even entertain Giles' request until a new coach had been hired.
Unfortunately for Jayhawk fans, Miami has no timetable for finding a coach, leaving Giles hanging for the moment.
What would it take to bring either Giles or Heirston to Kansas?
First, someone would have to leave. All of Kansas' allotted scholarships

Huskies defeat Yellow Jackets Dominant from start to finish, UConn wins national title
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — The Connecticut Huskies really do have it all: the All-America center, the flashy guards, the coach who gets everything right, and now a national title, which they won with ease.
Led by 24 points from Emeka Okafor and 21 from Ben Gordon, the Huskies outclassed Georgia Tech 82-73 on Monday night to win the championship.
They looked like champions from the beginning, running when they wanted, controlling the middle at other times and grabbing just about every loose ball.
UConn became the first team since the 1996 Kentucky Wildcats to win the title after being ranked first in the preseason. The Huskies won thanks to a tall, quick, deep and talented roster put together by
WOLF
Calhoun missed making the Basketball Hall of Fame by one vote this week. After the way he built and
guided this team, it's hard to imagine why. He coached UConn to its second championship in six seasons, and joined Mike Krzyzewski and Bob Knight as the only active coaches with multiple titles.
Some say the Huskies' success starts with Okafor, the All-American who had 15 rebounds for his 24th double-double of the season, which was marked by persistent injuries.
Early in the second half, Okafor kept his hands straight up and denied three straight Tech attempts to get the ball toward the basket. Yellow Jackets
GT
coach Paul Hewitt buried his head in his hands and turned around toward the crowd. He couldn't believe there wasn't a
foul — or maybe he just couldn't stomach what was happening to his team.
By that point, the lead had grown to 20, and although Tech's furious rally cut the deficit to seven in the final seconds, the outcome was never in doubt.
Will Bynum led the Jackets with 17 and B.J. Elder had 14, but they simply couldn't shoot on this night. They shot just 38 percent from the field. But 12-for-21 from the free-throw line? That was a killer, and it allowed the Huskies to push the lead to double digits much more easily than they might have.

Before 41,575, the largest opening-day crowd in Kansas City records: royals 1-0 white sox 0-1
history, the White Sox took a 7-3 lead into the ninth in Ozzie Guillen's first game as White Sox manager.
Benito Santiago, who had three RBI in his Royals' debut, hit an RBI double in the ninth off Billy Koch after Cliff Polittte walked the first two batters.
Lopez homered with one out off loser Damaso Marte to tie it at 7, and Beltran hit the winning drive.
D. J. Carrasco was the winner, pitching a perfect ninth inning.
Two-time AL MVP Juan Gonzalez singled in his first two at-bats for the Royals and went 2-for-4.
Kansas City got off to a 9-0 start last year, beating Chicago 3-0 in the opener on a three-hitter, the Royals' first opening-day shutout.
Kansas City won 16 of its first 19, staying in contention until the final week of the season, and finished 83-79, its first winning record since 1994.
Entering a season filled with hope, a standing-room-only crowd packed Kauffman Stadium under balmy skies and light winds.
Mark Buehrle, making his third straight opening-day start, gave up three runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings.
Royals starter Brian Anderson gave up five runs and seven hits in five innings.

Brewers 8, Cardinals 6
It's the first time the Brewers have been over.500 in two years. They haven't finished with a winning record since 1992.
ST.LOUIS — Scott Podsednik drove in four runs and Milwaukee opened the season by beating St. Louis, with President Bush watching from a box above home plate.
Ben Grieve hit a two-run homer and Podsednik had a tiebreaking, three-run shot off Matt Morris in the sixth inning for the Brewers, who began last season with six straight losses and never recovered in a 68-94 season.
Bush threw out the ceremonial first pitch, an inside strike, to Cardinals catcher Mike Matheny. Then Bush watched the first five innings from a private box.
Giants 5, Astros 4
SAN FRANCISCO—Barry Bonds hit his 699 home run Monday night, help
ing the San Francisco Giants rally for a 5-4 victory against the Houston Astros.
Bonds lined a first-pitch fastball from Roy Oswalt over the right-field fence in the eighth inning for a three-run shot that tied it at 4.
San Francisco completed the comeback in the ninth against loser Octavio Dotel, now the Astros' closer after the offseason trade of Billy Wagner to the Phillies. J.T. Snow's sacrifice fly knocked in the go-ahead run.
It was Bonds' sixth opening day homer, and it came in the same building where he tied Mark McGwire's single-season mark of 70 in 2001. Bonds went on to set his own standard at 73.
Only Ken Griffey Jr., with seven, has more opening day homers among active players.
CINCINNATI—Sammy Sosa couldn't get a hit. Kerry Wood couldn't get past the fifth inning.

confident Chicago Cubs.

Corey Patterson homered and Moises Alou doubled with the bases loaded, leading the defending NL Central champions over Cincinnati.
After winning their first division title in 14 years, the Cubs got a good start on their next image-busting quest: back-toback winning seasons for the first time since 1971-72.
The Reds had another disappointing debut in Great American Ball Park, where 42,122 fans sat and watched a lineup missing injured Ken Griffey Jr. stumble out of the gate once again.
Pirates 2, Phillies 1
PITTSBURGH — Even if he lasted only six innings, Kip Wells showed the Pittsburgh Pirates what a No.1 starter is supposed to look like on opening day.
Wells often was overpowering in working out of two big jams and outdueling Kevin Millwood, and the Pirates rode Craig Wilson's homer and Tike Redman's tiebending double to a victory over Philadelphia.
Jose Mesa pitched the ninth for the save against his former club.
Mijwood threw six solid innings but took the loss.
Padres 8, Dodgers 2
A sellout crowd of f3,850—the largest opening-day attendance in Dodger Stadium history — booed the home team on several occasions, most vocally after the Padres broke the game open against loser Hideo Nomo by scoring six runs in the fifth.
LOS ANGELES—Brian Lawrence allowed one run in five innings, and Phil Nevin hit a grand slam as revamped San Diego opened the season by beating the Dodgers.
The Dodgers left 15 runners on base and hit into three double plays.

Rodriguez, a 10-time All-Star who helped Florida win last year's World Series, homered in a three-run sixth inning. White, who finished last year with Kansas City, added a three-run homer off Roy Halladay in the seventh.
Johnson, signed by the Tigers after Baltimore let him go, allowed four hits in six innings and got the win. Al Levine, Jamie Walker and Esteban Yan combined for four-hit relief for the Tigers, who had just five shutouts last season.
Halladay, the reigning ALCy Young Award winner, was knocked around for seven runs — six earned — and 10 hits in 6-2-3 innings. Halladay, who struck out nine, dropped to 9-2 against the Tigers.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 6).
A good partnership can help you make good decisions this year. Another person's input, intellectually and financially, will make more of your dreams possible, though not all of them. Some will take longer to come true.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8.
Once the two of you have your disagreements worked out and have developed a complimentary and power-sharing partnership, you can go on a shopping spree.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
Just when you've almost given up because the job is simply too big, a powerful person comes to your rescue. It's not cheating to request help.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7.
You know you're really in love when you come up with a big project to share. It'll carry you through hard times much better than candy and chocolates, too although, those are still pretty nice.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 6.
TODAY'S PUZZLE
Something isn't quite the way you thought it was. It's good to know these things, even though finding out can be somewhat awkward.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
You're in unfamiliar territory.
You'll find new barriers and adversaries popping up. Be careful.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 6.
For the next couple of days your mind will be like a steel trap. You'll grab onto information and you won't let go. Obviously, you should study something that's worth remembering.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7
The need to start getting practical interferes with your social life. Don't make appointments for tonight or tomorrow unless they'll bring money in.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
You can only be pushed so far before you put your foot down. You're just about to reach that
point, as someone is about to discover.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 7.
As the day rolls on, you'll run into more deadlines that need to be met. If you've been turning in your assignments early, this won't cause a problem. If not ... cram.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is a 6.
Once you make up your mind and commit yourself to a course of action, you'll find all sorts of allies on your side. But don't look to them for financing.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
You're about to enter a difficult phase, but it's all part of growing up. You'll discover that something you want to try is not going to work. Back to the drawing board.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20.Today is a 6.
You're starting to have some big ideas. Don't worry. They won't hurt you. Launching into them now might be problematic, however, so keep them in your head a little while longer.

ALL-AMERICAN: Coaches debate player's position JAYHAWKS: Coach wants to strengthen defense
He earned an admirer along the way in quarterback Adam Barmann.
"I'm probably biased, but I think he's the best receiver in the Big 12," Barmann said. "Charles is brilliant out there, he knows all the reads, all the coverages, and it really helps me out. He can beat you with speed, he can beat you with quickness and he's got great hands."
Those hands combined with great timing and jumping ability
led to Gordon catching several hail-mary jump balls last season. One of those jump-balls gave Kansas a 35-24 lead over Colorado in Boulder at halftime last season, while another set up Kansas's final opportunity to tie the Northwestern game.
"I adjusted pretty quick," Gordon said. "It was kind of fun."
He was tossed into the cornerback fray late last season as Kansas was trying to salvage a bowl game, which it eventually did. Despite the switch to a position he hadn't played before, Gordon said the change wasn't too bad.
While Gordon will be at cornerback for the next few practices to get him ready for the next scrimmage, don't be surprised if he switches back to wide receiver fairly soon.
Just don't expect him to try and kick again.
"I'm pretty much doing all that I can right now," Gordon said. "I can't kick."

KANSAS: Niang meeting with coaches, could leave
CONTINUED FROM 1B
have been filled, and someone would have to transfer or agree to go off scholarship for even one of them to sign.
Speculation increased that sophomore center Moulaye Niang was considering a transfer this week, and he is meeting with
the Kansas coach this week.
Niang's departure would open the way to give either Giles or Hairston a scholarship, but two people would have to leave for Kansas to have a spot for both of them. Kansas is not permitted to talk to Giles until he is released from his letter of intent, if Miami decides to let him go.
With or without Hairston and Giles, Kansas has an impressive recruiting class. Kaun and Jackson should help ease the loss of senior Jeff Graves. In Robinson, Kansas has a combo guard who can relieve junior point guard Aaron Miles or log minutes at shooting guard.
- Edited by Louise Stauffer
The no-holds-barred approach was the result of trying to force new quarterbacks to improvise and attempting to shore up a defense that allowed over 30 points per game last season.
CONTINUED FROM 1B
The first team defense that worked out yesterday was able to chase the quarterback through the defensive ends David McMillan and John McCoy and defensive tackle Travis Watkins up the middle. The other first-team defensive tackle, walk-on Chris Brant, was taken off the field by cart after sustaining an injury. The three first-team linebackers, Banks Floodman, Nick Reid and Kevin Kane, chased the ball well. Theo Baines and Charles Gordon were the cornerbacks and Rodney Harris and Tony Stubbs were the safeties.
Mangino said generating a strong pass rush was important.
"We've got to get some heat on the passer." Mangino said. "That
will help our defense tremendously when it comes to coverage."
That pass rush forced the quarterbacks to leave the pocket often, where they were able to throw well on the run. Both Adam Barmann and Jason Swanson threw accurately and responded to the defensive pressure with big plays. While Mangino said there was no separation between the starting-quarterback hopefuls, Barmann is taking the majority of the first team snaps.
Barmann, who was thrust into the starting spot after Whitteimore was injured last season, said he was less overwhelmed with the offense this year.
"Last year, the first game, I'm not going to lie, I was swimming a little bit mentally." Barmann said. "I feel so much more comfortable, it's just leaps and bounds compared with last year."
It showed. After scrambling and completing a 20-yard pass to
a sliding Mark Simmons just plays earlier, Barmann struck big. Barmann faked a handoff, then faked a reverse to the wide receiver. With the defense on its heels, Barmann launched a pass into the waiting arms of wide receiver Simmons for a 50-yard touchdown.
Kansas Football Notes;
Toomey and Green not playing Second team All-Big 12 linebacker Gabe Toomey took a limited part in yesterday's practice and Mangino said he would participate in limited contact this spring. Kevin Kane is working with the first-team defense in Toomev's absence.
Last season's leading rusher Clark Green didn't attend practice yesterday because Mangino said he had academic issues. John Randle and Jon Cornish both worked with the first-team offense in his place.

University detects hacking
FBI investigating intrusion into student records at Watkins pharmacy
By Joe Bant
jbant@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The FBI and University of Kansas Public Safety Office are investigating a hacking into electronic pharmacy records at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
University officials reported the incident to the FBI on Friday after intrusion detection software alerted them to the hacking. Once the server where the
intrusion occurred was identified, technicians disabled it.
The server was used to store student prescription records from July 1994 to January 2004.
January 2004 The records contained personal information of some students, including KUID numbers, social-security numbers, names, addresses and dates of birth.
The University would not comment on how many records the server contained or if it contained all prescription records from that time frame. Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said specific information about the records was being kept quiet to aid the investigation.
"We don't have any idea of the extent of the intrusion."
Lynn Brenz
Director of University Relations
Marilu Goodyear, vice provost for information services, said officials weren't sure yet if any of the records had been copied or tampered with. Students who had information on the database were notified by e-mail as a precaution at approximately 4:15 p.m. yesterday.
"We don't have any idea of the extent
of the intrusion," Bretz said.

Serious comedy
SEE HACKING ON PAGE 8A
"I'm Rick James, bitch!"
It has become hard to make it through the day without hearing someone doing a Dave Chappelle impression. Whether it be his impression of Rick James, Prince or P. Diddy, it's a good bet that someone on campus is quoting Chappelle the very second you are reading this.
Chappelle's Show, which airs at 9:30 Wednesday nights on Comedy Central, features Chappelle's distinctive brand of comedy dealing with a range of issues, from white supremacy to sexually transmitted diseases. Although some fans may tune in each week just to get a laugh or pick up a new celebrity impression, there are others who say it's possible to learn something from Chappelle's social and political commentaries.
"A lot of it is college-type humor," said Kellen Duryea, Omaha, Neb. sophomore, who tunes into the show whenever he can. "It's a little more racy. It's a little more on the edge than other shows."
He said the reason the show was funny was because it took serious subjects and put them in situations that
weren't serious at all.
weren't serious in it.
One of the show's more controversial sketches portrayed Chappelle as a blind white supremacist, who did not know he was black.
"I'm not going to lie to you. I think it's extremely funny," Mark Dupree, Kansas City, Kan., senior and president of the Big 12 council for the Black Student Union, said of the sketch.
He said Chappelle wanted his audience to see how ridiculous the issue of white supremacy was by having them laugh at it.
"If we can face reality, we can laugh at it and make sure it doesn't happen again." Dupree said.
again. Duplicate said "People like to laugh at what makes them uncomfortable," said Ernesto Cruz, an American Studies graduate teaching assistant who studies popular culture and television.
The success of the program shows us that race relations aren't as great as we would like to think. he said.
He said Chappelle's comedy dealt with issues that were touchy and that oftentimes people laughed because they didn't know what else to do.
"There is a great desire to think we live
in a colorblind society, and Chappelle calls that into question," he said.
Murphy and john didn't necessarily think Cruz said he didn't necessarily think Chappelle provided solutions to the issues he brought up, though.
cans that into question He compared Chappelle to other comedians who tackled touchy issues such as Richard Pryor, Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy and John Leguizamo.
"He starts discussions really well. I don't know if he ends them well," he said.
Chappelle's tendency to go after touchy issues might rub some people the wrong way, but it's important not to think he represents a whole race, said Kriston Guillot, Shawnee sophomore and programs co-chairman for the Black Student Union.
"One of the biggest misconceptions is that he represents every African American," Guillot said.
"I may have problems with something Bill O'Reilly says, but he still has a right to be on the air," he said.
Guillot, who is a fan of the show, said if someone had a problem with Chappelle's comedy, all they had to do was change the channel.

Alumnus takes home Pulitzer

Inspired by his own medical condition and the reporting of a co-worker, University of Kansas graduate Kevin Helliker wrote a series of articles he
Helinker wrote a sem hoped would help people understand an often mysterious illness.
Now, The Wall Street Journal Chicago bureau chief's articles have garnered a much different reward: the Pulitzer Prize.
PENGUIN
Helliker
Helliker won the
award for a series of stories he and Journal reporter Thomas Burton wrote on aneurysms, the bulging of arteries that kills more than 15,000 Americans each year.
He and Burton won the award for explanatory reporting, a category that "illuminates a significant and complex subject," according to the Pulitzer Board's description.
For the eighth time in University history, a graduate has won a Pulitzer. This time it was won by a former student who worked through four years as an English major before finding his calling in The University Daily Kansan's newsroom.
Who needs a Pulitzer?'
Last year, while Helliker was working on a different heath care story, he got the arteries in his chest screened for plaque and calcium build-ups.
The doctors found something significant.
Doctors told Helliker he had an aneurysm, a bulge in an artery just behind his heart.

Court assigns bail at $750,000 for Lawrence murder suspect
Lafayette Cosby had his first appearance in Douglas County court yesterday. Cosby is being charged with first-degree murder for the homicide of Robert Tyrone Martin on Sunday at Jefferson Commons.
Cosby, who was in the Douglas County jail, appeared in court via closed-circuit television. District Attorney Christine Kenney asked for bond to be set at $750,000 because of the severity of the crime and Cosby's history. Cosby was charged with voluntary manslaughter in relation to a stabbing death in Lawrence in 1997. Cosby's only objection was to Kenny classifying the act as "unprovoked," which he said has yet to be proven.
Judge Peggy Kittel agreed to the bail and said that if bail was made, Cosby could not have contact with the witnesses listed on the complaint.
Cosby was arrested Monday night in Topeka by the Topeka Police Department and was then transported back to Lawrence by Lawrence Police Department detectives.
Cosby will be assigned representation by the court within the next 24 hours. His next appearance is 2:00 p.m. Monday in District II Court.
Vote brings controversy

Committee member calls Knopp's vote 'shady'
By Andy Marso
amarso@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Some members of the university affairs committee are calling into question a vote that Student Body President Andy Knopn cast in the committee last week.
Knopp cast the deciding vote in favor of a bill he co-wrote to add a student fee for study abroad scholarships.
Any student may vote in committees after attending one meeting. But, according to Article 2.2.5 of the Senate rules and regulations the student body president, vice president and student executive committee chairperson "shall be ex officio, non-voting members of the Student Senate standing committees," which include university affairs.
The last two student body presidents, Jonathan Ng and Justin Mills, both said they never voted in committees or in full Senate.
Jack Henry-Rhoads, university affairs committee member, said Knopp broke rule 2.2.5 when he voted on the bill.
Henry-Rhoads plans to appeal to the Student Executive Committee to get the bill sent back to University Affairs for another vote.
"I thought it was pretty shady," Henry-Rhoads said. "He's never done that before in UA despite the fact that it's kind of the committee he comes to the most."
Knopp said that the rules automatically made him a non-voting member of all five committees but didn't prevent him from being a voting member of one committee.

"Just by being president I don't give up the right, just as any student, to vote on a committee." Knopn said.
The study abroad bill had to pass university affairs by a two-thirds vote. When the verbal vote was too close to determine, committee chairman Josh Kaplan asked for a show of hands. The count was 21-11 in favor, one short of two-thirds.
One of the study abroad administrators who had come with Knopp to support the bill urged him to vote. Knopp was initially hesitant, but then asked Kaplan if he could step out of his role as president and vote on the bill as a committee member.
Kaplan appeared uncertain, but Catherine Bell, student body vice president, and Leo Khayet, CLAS senator, both said Knopp should be able to vote because he had attended most university affairs meetings.
Kaplan allowed the vote and declared that the bill had passed.
"If there was a question as to the ruling, it could have been appealed then," Kaplan said.
Murmurs of discontent and confusion rippled through Alderson Auditorium but no formal complaint was given.
But Henry-Rhoads and Brian Thomas, university affairs committee member, said they weren't given time to make a formal appeal.

Records show couple placed court orders against murderer
EDWARDSVILLE—Last Saturday, Katherine Malone and her boyfriend, Tye Brown, were shot and killed by Malone's ex-husband, Matthew Bass, at the Metropolitan Ambulance Services Trust where they worked. Later that day, Bass, who had been charged with murdering them, was found dead of self-inflicted gunshot wounds in Lee's Summit, Mo.
A review of court records in three counties shows that Malone, 30, spent the last months of her life doing everything legally possible to protect herself from Bass, 37. She repeatedly said she was afraid of him.
MAST paramedics often wear bullet-proof vests at work, but Malone and Brown wore them to protect themselves from Bass, spokesman Eric Dooley said Monday. Police would not say whether the two were wearing the vests when they

were shot.
Dooley said MAST supervisors did not think that sending Malone and Brown to separate stations would help. They thought that the trouble with Bass had decreased recently, Dooley said.
Bass waited for the couple to return from a medical call about midnight on Friday night, Dooley said.
Bass then ambushed and fatally shot the two.
Nearly seven hours later, police found Bass' body in his car in Lee's Summit, Mo.

Independent contender faces battle for candidacy
By Steve Vockrodt
svockrodt@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Bucking the two-party system in politics was never easy, but that won't stop Josh Bender from trying in next week's Student Senate elections.
Bender will run for a freshman/sophomore CLAS seat as an independent. He is the only independent hopeful in this year's election. Bender said he's set to make himself heard with his campaign.
"I want to make a statement," Bender, Sterling sophomore, said. "I think politics are about individual people."
If elected, Bender said he would try to be as influential and active as a senator can be.
"A senator can have a lot of power if they want to," Bendersaid.
He said an important aspect of
his job would be reflecting the needs of his voters.
"I would talk to people instead of assuming people agree with me." Bender said.
Bender's tentative platform revolves around safety issues, supporting the Multicultural Resource Center and not raising student fees without students' consent.
Odds are typically stacked against any independent campaign, but it will be especially tough for the freshman/sophomore CLAS. All 14 seats were won with a staggering margin by KUUnited candidates in last year's election. Chris Cardinal was the senator who won with the fewest votes with 807.
Bender said he figured he would have to earn about 700 votes to get a seat.
Bender said he knew his candidacy would be especially tough,
and that his chances of winning were slim, but he still decided a week ago to go through with a campaign.
KUnited student body president candidate Steve Munch said running without a coalition was an especially difficult task.
in an especially difficult "In a small school, it's possible," Munch said. "In CLAS, it's tough to win. It would be an incredible feat."
The most recent independent candidate to win a seat was Richmhern, in 2002. Mulhern ran for an architecture seat and won with 61 votes. The next highest vote-getter was Nick Lawler of KUnited who earned 52 votes. James Owen was the only other independent to run in that year's election. He finished last in votes for the Law seat, receiving only 15 votes, 16 short of winning a seat.
Mike LeCount, another independent, won a seat for the School of Law in 2001. He said he respected the tough challenge ahead for Bender who will have a harder time winning in CLAS than LeCount did in Law.
"I was fortunate because I ran in the School of Law, and the coalitions aren't very strong there," LeCount said.
LeCount said he was able to successfully campaign because he had an easier time meeting with his constituency, which was only about 500 people in the School of Law.
But Munch said he estimated it would probably take at least 500 votes total to win a CLAS seat.
Munch also said it was typically difficult to run without a coalition because independent candidates don't get the same group effort that results in better organization and finances for
campaigning.
campaign. Bender said he looked into running with KUnited after serving this year on the Rights Committee, but decided he would rather run on his own.
"Coalitions might be the right way to go, but it's not my way," Bender said, adding that he felt that coalitions tend to focus too much on only getting the presidential seat won.
he said he expected that people dissatisfied with the idea of a two-party system would appreciate his candidacy as an alternative.
His main campaigning technique will be sending out fliers detailing his campaign across campus to build name recognition among voters.
If nothing else, Bender said he hopes his campaign at least makes people aware of some of

"I wish him the best of luck and he has more than an uphill battle than I did," LeCount said. "It's impressive, I really respect that."

Lawrence gets new mayor
David Dunfield steps down, unanimous nod for Mike Rundle

David Dunfield stepped down from his year-long post as mayor last night. Each commissioner barraged the mayor with a round of compliments before the commission elected Mike Rundle, vice-mayor, into the office of mayor.
"I know we've had our disagreements, and I want to thank you for your patience and hard work on the job," David Schauner, commissioner, told Dunfield.
The commission then presented Dunfield with a plaque topped with a gavel to thank him for his work as mayor.

Dunfield said he looked forward to seeing the fruits of the commission's labors ripen throughout the year. The living wage debate, questions about downtown bars and the possibility of smoking bans in public places were among the key issues Dunfield and his commission explored during his term as mayor.
"In this commission we've loaded ourselves down with a lot of studies and tax forces," Dunfield said. "I do appreciate the seriousness of purpose and the dedication that's been shown in staff and I want to thank you for that."

BUDGET OVERVIEW: A "KANSAN" SERIES
wednesday, april 7, 2004
Legislature shouldn't short-change faculty, staff
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' proposal to give state employees a 3 percent pay increase is an innovative, if imperfect, plan to make good on a state promise to its employees.
The 3 percent pay increase will be distributed to KU faculty and staff. The money for the pay increase will come from cuts in other areas of the University's budget.
While this may seem like a "robbing Peter to pay Paul" approach to budgeting, the cuts will be in areas of the University's budget that maintain an annual net surplus, making a one-time cut absorbable.
Sebelius' promise is that these are one time cuts and in the future the employees' pay increase will be maintained by the
In 1999, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 345, a promise to support faculty and staff salary increases. It hasn't upheld its promise, and salaries have remained stagnant. It is vital that a state University pay faculty and staff competitive rates. Legislators: Fund SB 345.
OURVIEW
state.Her hope is the state will be able to take on the burden of the increases in the future with an improving economic climate in the state.
While cutting the University's budget to fund salary increases sets a potentially dangerous precedent, it breaks an even more dangerous one: not giving salary
A 1999 law, Senate Bill 345, promised money for annual salary increases. However, because of a tight state budget, the employees have not received their raises the previous two years.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway, who supports the governor's funding recommendations, welcomes the increase.
increases at all
"I am grateful that the governor has provided for a general 3 percent salary increase for KU employees," Hemenway said in his testimony before the Senate
Not only does giving the increase help the employees manage rising health-care costs and other costs of living, it helps the University attract better pools of talent from all over the country.
Ways and Means Committee's Higher Education Subcommittee in February. "Such an increase is a welcome signal to all faculty and staff, after a couple of very lean years, that their efforts are appreciated by the people of Kansas."
Tax increases may be a better solution to meeting the promises outlined by Senate Bill 345. However, with a legislature hesitant to raise taxes, the governor has come up with a compromise that fulfills the legislature's promise of salary increases.
That's one promise met, one promise to go. Finding a way to fund the salary increase next year without cutting the University's budget is a final test that will show whether Sebelius is a governor of her word.
WHILE WE'RE AT IT LET'S OUTLAW POWDERED WIGS AND SILK BREECHES. YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING WAY TOO "SWISHY"...
PERSPECTIVE
'Under God' not under constitutional law
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
COMMENTARY
Travis Metcal
opinion@kansan.com
This simple pledge of support for the United States is up for examination at the Supreme Court. And it's there for good reason, the two words: "under God."
Michael New-
dow is an atheist
who wants his
daughter's school to
be a God-free zone.
Newdow doesn't want his child to have to say the pledge in school because of those two words, and the California 9th Circuit Court of Appeals agrees. Now it is in the Sands of the Supreme Court.
Newdow is right. The Pledge of Allegiance should not contain that phrase.
Steve Sack for KRT
Separation of church and state means that the government cannot get involved with religious affairs. And that phrase implies that our government is a religious entity, not a secular one.
The original pledge was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy, a Christian Socialist.
Baer said Bellamy's original words to the pledge of allegiance were, "I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
According to The Pledge of Allegiance: A Short History by John W. Baer, Francis wrote the pledge to express his socialist ideals. It was intended to represent "how the middle class could create a planned economy with political, social and economic equality for all."
The words "my flag" got changed to "the flag of the United States of America" in 1923 and 1924.
Then the controversial words "under God" were added by a unanimous legislia-
ture and with the endorsement of President Dwight David Eisenhower in June 1954.
Baer said the change made the pledge both a patriotic oath and a public praver.
The year was also a time when people in this country were fearful of communism. The change was adopted by the legislature to deny the atheistic concept of communism.
When the new words were added, Eisenhower proclaimed, "Millions of schoolchildren will daily proclaim in every city and town ... the dedication of our nation and our people of the Almighty."
So there we have it, government sanctioned religion even though, according to historian David Greenberg, the founders had no intention of incorporating God in government.
The word "God" isn't found anywhere in the Constitution. And the only mention of religion is that people have the freedom to practice it and that religion won't be used to determine whether people can hold office.
Greenberg also notes that Benjamin Franklin's proposal during the Constitutional Convention that the founders start
each day with a prayer to God for guidance, his suggestion was defeated.
But now, in order to pledge their support to their country, atheists have to acknowledge a God or they are considered unpatriotic.
The founders of our country intended this to be a place where anyone should feel welcome, including the non-religious. Let's honor their wishes and support prohibition of the phrase "under God" from the Pledge.
Metcalf is a Wichita senior in journalism.
PERSPECTIVE
Extracurriculars help with job-search
By now everyone has heard how great extracurricular activities are. They promote leadership, social skills and are a good time. But did you also know that they can be extremely influential when employers are looking for that next great hire?
PETER GILBERT
Like the high school students who applies for colleges with the words National Honor Society printed across his resume, college students with extra activities are a sought after commodity.
COMMENTARY
Picture this: You're an employer with a choice between two candidates. One has a 3.6 grade point average, while the other has a 3.0. But while Student No. 1 has better grades and spent his time studying, Student No. 2 was president of the business fraternity and actually worked within her field of choice.
In this case, Jennifer Jordan, director of KU, business career services, said
Potentially even more so than students with high grades.
Kevin Flaherty opinion@kansan.com
most employers would probably pick the latter.
"We have a bank coming in and they won't settle for anything less than a 3.85," Jordan said. "But then we have a very competitive sales company who probably won't really look at GPA
Now this doesn't mean that being a good student isn't rewarded. Depending on the business, Jordan said grades could be a factor.
much at all."
Jordan said that leadership was one of the more important aspects a company looked at. A combination of internship success and extracurricular activities can be more than enough to move past academic weakness.
There is no reason to not get involved with at least one organization on this campus. With hundreds of campus organizations right at every student's fingertips, it's never been easier to get involved in something you enjoy.
Hiring agents love the fact that some people are well-rounded, and sticking with a group or organization for a period of time tells them a lot about the type of person you are.
The organizations range from the professional related, like Delta Sigma Pi business fraternity, to joining a group with similar interests like Scooter-Hawks. ScooterHawks is a club for students who love their scooters. If you
have interest in what's happening on campus, Student Senate may be for you. It's easy to find a club for everyone, no matter where your interests lie.
There are downsides to becoming more involved on campus. Sometimes students overextend themselves and wind up having less time for school or relaxation. That could leave the student with sleep problems or grade problems. And while grades aren't as important in the great scheme of things, some students even struggle to graduate.
All of those are problems, but the reward is worth the trouble. Missing out on some video game chill time is miniscule when compared with being happy at your job.
So remember, next time you're looking to take that afternoon nap, consider joining an organization on campus. Your future may depend on it.

Women act to overcome abuse Latin American theater group to perform plays on campus
By Samia Khan
skhan@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
After three years of abuse, she finally left. After three years of not being allowed to drive, work or take classes, she decided to reclaim her self-esteem.
Now on a sparsely decorated stage in front of an audience of strangers, Albis Santiago realizes she is completely alone in a strange country barely able to speak English. She wonders if her dreams for a better life in America are an illusion. She begins to think she should go back to her husband.
Then Santiago asks herself, "Do I love this man because I need him, or do I need him because I love him?"
She's performing on a stage, but it's her reality. Santiago is a Mexican immigrant and a domestic abuse survivor.
She is part of a traveling theater group of women like herself who perform plays written about their own experiences. KU graduates Elena Morales and Rebekah Moses helped the women organize the theater group in 2002.
Moses calls the performances "street theater." None of the women have had any acting experience.
"We've lived it," Santiago said.
"What more experience could you want?"
Santiago and the other women perform in shelters, churches and conferences. Tomorrow the group will perform on campus.
Play particulars
The women who perform are part of an organization called
■ What? Latin American Theatre Festival
■ When? 7 p.m. tomorrow
■ Where? The sound stage in Oldfather Studios, 9th and Avalon Streets
**Source:** Latin American Solidarity
MUSA, Mujeres Unidas Saliendo Adelante — meaning United Women Moving Forward.
MUSA is a support group for domestic abuse survivors. It operates in Kansas City, Kan., under the umbrella of El Centro Inc., a provider of support and services to the Latin-American immigrant community.
In 1998, Morales graduated from the University with a master's in social work. Now she is a social worker and program coordinator for El Centro, counseling and facilitating immigrant women in the community.
Morales and the women she worked with met other immigrant abuse survivors who were performing plays about their experiences. Morales asked Moses to help her start a local group.
Now Moses, a 2003 graduate, volunteers her time to manage production of the shows. She has helped the women create three scripts.
The plays are a collaboration between Moses and the women. The scripts are based directly on the women's personal stories of abuse.
Moses audio tapes conversations with the women. Much of the scripts are taken verbatim from the tapes.
Moses said it was often harder for immigrant victims of abuse to leave their situations. Many of the women can't speak English, are undocumented and have no family in United States.
Moses said she hoped the performances informed the public of the needs of immigrant women. Most of all, she wants abused women to recognize their situations and get help.
For Morales, the women are a source of inspiration.
"Seeing how dedicated and strong they've become reminds me this work is worthwhile," she said.
Alvar Ayala organized the Latin American Theatre Festival and invited MUSA's theater group to perform on campus for the first time.
The Torreon, Mexico, junior and president of Latin American Solidarity said he wanted students to experience the courage of the women.
Not all the women in MUSA take part in the theater group. Moses and Morales said most of the group's women were not at a point where they could stand up and share their experiences with strangers.
Santiago said she no longer felt ashamed of telling her story. She understands now that she was never the problem in the relationship.
She said that with each performance a piece of the bad memory was exscised from her.
"When I'm acting, all that I've lived comes to me," Santiago said. "With one word my whole life washes over me."

Senate may ease costs for groups
By Jodie Kraft
jkraft@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Student organizations on campus may soon have the opportunity to request money from Student Senate for conference registration fees if a bill is passed at tonight's Senate meeting.
If passed, the bill would allow any student organization going to a conference to ask Senate for funding for registration fees. Members of the Black Student Union Mark Dupree, Kansas City, Kan, senior, and Delia Kimbrel, Wichita freshman, along with student body president Andy Knopp and student body vice president Catherine Bell, wrote the bill.
Originally the bill was written to allow only four organizations to apply for Senate money; the Black
Student Union, Hispanic American Leadership Organization, Asian American Student Union and First Nations Student Association. When the bill went to committees last week, the committees amended it to include all student organizations on campus.
"It was something that we were all in favor of. I was very pleased that the committee was willing to open it up to all organizations," Bell said.
Student organizations can ask the Finance Committee for funding and the committee can then use its discretion about how much to give, Bell said. The bill would not provide for travel or hotel expenses, but Bell said organizations generally needed to raise registration fees the most.
"To give people that opportunity that a lot of people on campus take for granted — it struck a chord for
me and made me motivated to work on the job." Bell said.
Members of the First Nations Student Association spend a considerable amount of time raising money for their annual Big 12 Conference, said Olivia Standing Bear, co-president of the group. She said the bill would help the organization because members have to do several taco sales and other fundraising activities in April.
Standing Bear said the group's conference is April 23 to 25, and the cost is $60 per person.
Dupree said he started thinking about the bill in November but didn't take action until February after the Black Student Union's Big 12 Conference.
In terms of Big 12 schools, Dupree said the University of Kansas was lacking in its willingness to provide money for multicultural organizations. He said all
of the schools in the Big 12 except for the University receive money for conferences from either their universities or student senates.
"It's very common sense," Dupree said. "To receive this multicultural diversity and bring it back to their university — how much simpler can it be?"
Dupree said it was common for members of multicultural organizations to spend all of their time fundraising instead of receiving education or attending activities. He said this often caused members to become frustrated and quit the organizations.
"I wish I could stand up and clap, but all I can say is, 'It's about time.' Dupree said.
Tonight's Senate meeting is at 6:30 at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.

Nielsen delays ratings system launch
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — After accusations that black and Hispanic viewers were being undercounted, Nielsen Media Research agreed yesterday to delay rollout of its new "people meter" television rating system.
Nielsen insisted its numbers are accurate, but agreed to the delay "out of respect and concern for how the community sees this," said company president and CEO Susan Whiting.
In tests of the new system, almost all of the most popular shows in black households
dropped in the ratings, some up to 60 percent.
Whiting announced the decision to put off tomorrow's scheduled launch until June 3 at a news conference in U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel's (D-N.Y.) Harlem office.
Rangel, who said he had just been aware of the concerns, said he and Nielsen would form a task force to study the issue. "I'm satisfied that at least I'll have the time to figure this out," he said.
witsen is in the midst of a gradual rollout of its "people meter" in the nation's largest television markets.
Currently, 500 households in each big city record their viewing habits in a diary kept during four ratings "sweeps" months. The new system uses a larger sample — 800 households — and electronically records what people are watching every day through a device connected to their TV.
Nielsen already uses the "people meters" to measure national ratings in an entirely different sample.
Boston is the only city where the new local system is operating. Nielsen, which wants "people meters" in the 10 largest cities by 2006, has delayed launches in
Chicago and Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, there were concerns the new sample did not have enough minority representation, Nielsen said.
That's not the case in New York; Whiting claims the new sample better represents the city's ethnic makeup than the group filling out diaries.
However, during test runs of the new system, virtually all of the most popular programs in black households showed ratings declines, some more than 60 percent, according to U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D.N.Y.), who had urged the delay.

Rebel strike results in marine fatalities
NAJAF, Iraq — Iraqi insurgents and rebellious Shiites mounted a string of attacks across the south and fought pitched battles against Marines in the turbulent city of Fallujah yesterday. Up to a dozen Marines, two more coalition soldiers and at least 66 Iraqis were reported killed.
Two more coalition soldiers—an American in Baghdad and a Ukrainian in Kut—were killed in fighting. The deaths brought the three-day total to up to about 30 Americans and 136 Iraqis killed in the worst fighting since the war that toppled Saddam Hussein.
Reports from the city of Ramadi, near Fallujah, said dozens of Iraqis attacked a Marine position near the governor's palace, a senior defense official said from Washington. "A significant number" of Marines were killed, and initial reports indicate it may be up to a dozen, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
U. S. authorities also launched a crackdown on radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr al-Sadr and his militia after a series of weekend uprisings in Baghdad and cities and towns to the south that took a heavy toll in both American and Iraqi lives. The fighting marks the first major outbreak of violence between the U.S.-led occupation force and the Shiites since Baghdad fell a year ago.
In the Ramadi fighting,heavy casualties were inflicted on the insurgents as well, officials said.
It was not immediately known who the attackers were; nor whether the attack was related to fighting under way in nearby Falluiah.
On the Fallujah front, Marines drove into the center of the Sunni city in heavy fighting before pulling back before nightfall. The assault had been promised after the brutal killings and mutilations of four American civilians there last week. Hospital officials said eight Iraqis died yesterday and 20 were wounded, including women and children.
U. S. warplanes firing rockets destroyed four houses in Fallujah after nightfall yesterday, witnesses said. A doctor said 26 Iraqis, including women and children, were killed and 30 wounded in the strike. The deaths brought to 34 the number of Iraqis killed in Fallujah yesterday, including eight who died in street battles earlier in the day.
The dusty, Euphrates River city 35 miles west of Baghdad is a stronghold of the anti-U.S. insurgency that sprang up shortly after Saddam's ouster a year ago.
With fighting intensifying ahead of the June 30 handover of power to an Iraqi government, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld said American commanders in Iraq would get additional troops if needed. None has asked so far, he said.
Al-Sadr issued a statement saying he was ready to die to oust the Americans. He urged his followers to resist foreign forces.
"I'm prepared to have my own blood shed for what is holy to me," he said.

HOROSCOPES
Todav's Birthday (April 7).
This year is about plans and preparation. Get your ducks in a row, but don't march them off quite yet. The closer you get to your goal, the more problems you'll discover. Proceed with caution.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
today is an 6. You can share your concerns and feelings of inadequacy with your mate, but don't let the competition in on your little secret. Allow them to believe that you haven't a fear in the world.
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Today is a 6. It's not a good day to travel or to test abstract ideas. Stay practical and close to home in order to minimize annoyance.
Gemini (May 21-June 21).
Today is a 6. When you're busy, you may forget that you have a goal in mind. If you don't have one, then make one up now, and make it a juice prize.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7. It's not a good time to gamble, though you're lucky in other areas. A friend of yours comes through just when you need help the most.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22).
Today is a 6. There are a few things in your way that aren't conducive to the vision that you and your partner share. You'll have to move them aside.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Today is a 7. With concentration and planning, you can turn your nest egg into gold. Others might make and lose several fortunes, but you'd rather get one and hold onto it. Figure out how, with the help of a rich friend.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22).
Today is a 7.Creative work pays best now, but it's hardest to pin down. You can't afford distractions, so schedule romance for another time. Friday night should be good for that.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21).
Today is a 7. You may not have to say what's on your mind. You can
let your partner, or perhaps even your attorney, carry the message to those concerned.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) .
Today is a 6. Be forewarned that something you believe to be true could be tested, and soon. In a way, this is good. You'll know which parts are fact and which parts are fantasy.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is a 7. A friend points out a flaw in your reasoning, causing you to reconsider whether you can afford to fulfill a fantasy now. You may want to wait a while longer.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Today is a 7. A critical person's comments cut deep, and in a most vulnerable spot. Unfortunately, it hurts. Fortunately, it helps you get tough.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
today is a 7. A fantasy bubble will soon pop, so don't be riding in that bubble when it bursts. Allow yourself a little emotional distance.

Haiti's interior minister arrested
The Associated Press
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide's interior minister was arrested yesterday on suspicion of orchestrating the killings of several people presumed to be Aristide opponents, officials said.
The arrest of Jocelerme Privert, the highest ranking official to be detained since Aristide's departure on Feb. 29, comes as former government leaders and members of Aristide's political party have complained that Haiti's interim leaders are targeting them.
Privert was accused in the mid-February killings of several suspected Aristide opponents in St. Marc, a northern port city where violence flared before the armed
rebellion that pushed Aristide from power, the new government said.
Privert was being held at the national penitentiary. Law requires that he hear the charges against him within 48 hours.
Penitentiary Inspector Olmala Bien-Aime said Privert's cell was being guarded by U.S. Marines who are part of a peace-keeping force.
Earlier this year, the United States revoked Privert's U.S. tourist visa because of suspicions of drug trafficking, Tekach-Bell said.
The United States has canceled visas for more than a dozen Aristide government officials in the past year over similar suspicions.
U. S. Secretary of State Colin Powell made a one-day visit to
Haiti on Monday and was asked whether the United States would investigate Aristide on corruption or drug allegations. Powell only said that U.S. authorities were investigating Aristide.
It was unclear whether the U.S. government was investigating other members of Aristide's government.
In late March, Haitian police arrested Amanus Mayette, a former Aristide legislator and alleged leader of the "Clean Sweep" gang accused of killing opponents in St. Marc. He is awaiting trial.
Oriel Jean, chief of palace security for Aristide from 2001 to 2003, was "intimately involved" with smuggling cocaine, according to four people who gave depositions.
He is awaiting trial in Florida.
Armed rebels and members of the disbanded army that toppled Aristide in a 1991 coup launched a popular uprising on Feb. 5 from the northern city of Gonaives, spreading their revolt to the Aristide stronghold and nearby town of St. Marc.
A complaint was filed in St. Marc against Privert, alleging that he ordered the gangs to quell the unrest by targeting suspected Aristide opponents.
Pierre Esperance, a human rights activist, said there were reports that more than 50 people were killed during mid-February in St. Marc.
Reporters who were in the town at the time of the attacks reported seeing less than five bodies.

HACKING: Students worried about potential identity theft
have been accessed during the intrusion. It also warned of the possibility identity theft.
Kelsey Lowe, Bloomington Ind., sophomore, received a prescription from Watkins in the past and said she was worried about her information being in the wrong hands.
"It makes me really insecure because that's my social-security number," Lowe said. "It makes我 worried that they'll falsely use my stuff."
Goodyear did not say if the hacking would result in new computer security measures, but said the hacking raised awareness.
"With any incident, you always learn a little more about your procedures and how to refine them," Goodyear said.
Jeff Lanza, special agent for the FBI, said the source of the intrusion had not been identified.
Lanza did not have a time frame for the investigation.
He said the signal had been traced overseas, but that did not mean the hacker's origin was from abroad.
The FBI takes hacking incidents seriously, Lanza said, particularly when personal information and potential identity theft are involved.

"I was fairly sure he was an ex officio, non-voting member, but I was looking through rules and regs to find the exact rule," Thomas said. "By the time I found it, it had already been voted on."
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Thomas said he later approached Kaplan and pointed out the rule, but didn't call for a revote because 10 to 15 committee members had already left.
Khayet voted against the bill, but said Knopp should have a vote on it, despite the non-voting membership rule.
KNOPP: Voting rules and practices questioned
"That rule is used to check against abuse, but he's been on the committee for the entire year," Khayet said, "and like any other student he should be able to vote."
Ng said he never voted as president because he had veto power, speaking rights and other ways to influence legislation.
"Usually in committees I tried to stay out as much as I could," Ngsaid.
Knopp said Ng's situation was different because he floated from committee to committee rather than being a steadfast member of one.
Mills said that even if the rules didn't explicitly forbid Knopp from voting in one committee, past presidents had always understood them that way. He said that the fact that Knopp was one of the bill's co-authors also presented a conflict of interest.
"To vote somewhat illegally on something that benefits you directly in order to clear the vote, I think that's a little unethical." Mills said.
The student executive committee will discuss the complaint tonight before full Senate meets.

PULITZER: Aneurysm work wins prize for alumnus

could actually have an aneurysm," he wrote in a Journal essay, part of the 10-story package that won the Pulitzer.
After doing research on what an aneurysm was and how it would affect his life, Helliker realized that most people - doctors included - didn't really understand what aneurysms do, and what steps people can take to monitor and repair them.
Helliker decided to work with Burton on the both informative and personal series of stories.
"The popular perception is that an aneurysm is something you die from instantly, like getting hit by lightning," Helliker said. "People showed a tremendous appetite for information, and a tremendous frustration with the medical community."
The articles informed people of options for screenings and surgeries that even their own doctors didn't know to tell them, Helliker said. Aneurysm research is so young and so isolated, many doctors don't yet know what advice to give patients, and patients don't know when to screen for the enlarged arteries.
When Helliker's personal
"There's a lingering feeling in the medical community that it's a helpless situation," he said.
accounts of dealing with the fear often associated with aneurysms ran in late April last year, readers responded.
"The response was overwhelming," Helliker said of the hundreds of letters the newspaper received praising the work. "I couldn't keep up with it."
In the articles, Helliker informed readers that the problem was genetic. If a father or grandfather died of an aneurysm rupturing, there is a good chance another relative might have the same problem.
Helliker said he heard from readers who, after learning of the genetics of the disease, got screened and found they had aneurysms.
When found early, aneurysms can be monitored, and if necessary, treated with surgery.
"Kevin saw this not merely as a personal thing, but as a story. That's what makes him such a great reporter," said Dan Hertzberg, deputy managing editor at the Journal.
The readers thanked Helliker for his work in a way no editor or panel of judges ever could.
"Who needs a Pulitzer Prize," Helliker said, "when you have people tell you that you saved their lives?"
Ninth inning
Monday night in Chicago when he was watching the
Kansas City Royals surge back in the ninth inning against the White Sox, Helliker said he thought about his path toward journalism at the University.
"I had been at KU for four years," he said. "I didn't take a journalism class until my last year. The Kansan was kind of my ninth inning."
Working at the Kansan before graduating in 1982 gave Helliker discipline, made him think about writing and allowed him the opportunity to find a job where he could do what he loved - writing.
"By the end of my beginning reporting class, it was clear that Kevin would have his choice of numerous job offers," said Ted Frederickson, professor of journalism.
And just as the Kansan helped Helliker find his profession, his prize-winning series on aneurysms helped shape Helliker's focus within his profession.
"With these stories, I have kind of found my calling," he said.
Helliker has considered himself a generalist for most of his writing career, but after the way the aneurysm series helped people, he has more health care stories planned, he said.
"Everybody has a profound interest in health care, and the things that can go wrong with it," he said.

When the Kansas baseball team faces Wichita State tonight at Hoglund Ballpark, there will be more on the line than just a notch in the win column. The game has recruiting and pride implications as well.
"We are trying to take a step up and we want to be the best program in the state of Kansas and that goes through Wichita," coach Ritch Price said.
Wichita State has long led the state in college baseball. The Shockers have gone 26 straight seasons with 40 or more wins. The Shockers are 16-3 on the season, and have traditionally dominated the head to head match-ups with the Jayhawks.
But this is Price's team, and he has transformed Jayhawk baseball into a contender, going 57-42-1 in his year and a half at the helm. Price has also helped the Jayhawks close the gap against Wichita State in his two years, the teams split the two games they played last year.
couple of recruiting battles with them this fall for kids next year that turned down Wichita State to sign with us," Price said.
"It's a huge rivalry, and we've won a
Price will be facing legendary coach Gene Stephenson who literally built the Shocker's baseball program from the ground up. Stephenson is 1,422-452-3 in his 27 seasons as head coach.
The Shockers have won eight of their last nine games and are currently ranked 10th in the nation by Baseball America.

Judge sentences Kansas player to two prison days
Kansas football running back John Randle was sentenced Friday to two days in jail and $450 in fines in Lawrence Municipal Court.
Randle was charged with attempted theft, disorderly conduct and unlawful use of a driver's license.
A fourth charge, interfering with the duties of a law enforcement officer, was dismissed.
Randle
The charges were for two separate incidents.
The attempted theft charge was for a Nov.19 incident when he was caught stealing beer from a convenience store in Lawrence.
The disorderly conduct and unlawful use of a driver's license were related to a fight that broke out at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., on Mar. 5.

Niang considering transfer
San Diego State University received a release allowing them to speak with sophomore Moulaye Niang about transferring, according
to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
PETER AWONDJINYO
Niang, who hasn't said publicly that he'd like to leave Kansas, has reportedly been considering a transfer because of a lack of playing time.
Niang
The paper
reports that Niang, a 6-foot-10-inch center, will visit the school some time in the next two weeks.
In Niang were to transfer, it would open a scholarship up for Kansas, possibly making room for 6-foot-6-inch swingman Malik Hairston, who is still considering Kansas.
Kansas associate head coach Norm Roberts has been wooed in recent weeks by two Big East school's with coaching vacancies.
Roberts a wanted man
Former Kansas assistant and former North Carolina head coach Matt Doherty has also interviewed for the post.
St. John's University in New York, who has been looking for a replacement for Mike Jarvis, reportedly interviewed Roberts, a Queens, N.Y., native.
Kansas tops pre-rankings
ESPN.com's college basketball guru Andy Katz has released his pre-pre-season top 25. His number one? The Kansas Jayhawks.
The key question the Jayhawks face, Katz writes, is how well incoming freshman Russell Robinson gels with the rest of the team.

Shortstop finds destiny

Kansas sophomore plans to keep softball a part of her future
Sophomore shortstop Destiny Frankenstein has played softball since the age of six and a half. In that time she learned one maxim to live by:
"If you don't love it, don't play it."
"If you don't love it, don't play it. Since those early days, Frankenstein has never stopped playing the sport. Only once did she consider quitting, and that passed like one of her homers passes over the fence.
Frankenstein, who has developed into a key player on the Kansas softball team, will be playing the sport she loves next at 6 p.m. today in Missouri. The Jayhawks, who are 23-16-1 overall, will look to improve their 2-3 Big 12 Conference record against the Tigers.
Frankenstein grew up in Broken Arrow, Okla., a suburb of Tulsa. Even though they replaced "her field" last year, she still can recall the memories from that ball park when she walks out onto the new one.
"It seems like that's what I did when I was little, I played softball," Frankenstein said.
Many American girls play softball but leave because they become disinterested or because they're not good enough to progress past pitching-machine ball. Frankenstein certainly never lost interest and, most spectators will agree, she's good.
Abby Tillery/Kansan
One time early in her career she was surprised by her own strength.
"I overthrew first and hit a cow once, which is probably something you only do in Oklahoma," Frankenstein said. "It was over a fence, across a road and into a pasture."
Destiny Frankenstein, sophomore shortstop, leads the women's softball team with 296 batting average. Frankenstein said it was a struggle to maintain the balance between softball and school.

President pressing for student vote on KUAC

Corporation Board of Directors.
Student Body President Andy Knopp hasn't given up his campaign to give students a vote on the new University of Kansas Athletics
Last month,
Student Senate
passed a petition
outlining the reasons why a voting student should be included on the board that governs the Athletics Department
1017561204
Knopp
Department.
After its passage in Senate, the petition was distributed to various University bodies, including the Senate Executive Committee, University Council and the Athletics Department.
The petition came in response to KUAC's February vote to restructure. The KUAC board voted to reduce its size from 23 members to five voting members, with the five not including a voting student.
Also at the meeting, Knopp introduced two amendments that would have added a student to the board. Both narrowly failed, one by a single vote.
Board members who voted against the amendments said students would still be represented in Kansas athletics because they would continue to have input in policy decisions, even without a vote.
Knopp said last month's petition indicated Student Senate's agreement that students deserved a vote. Actual change will have to come from the KUAC, but Knopp said he was fairly confident the change would happen.
"As long as everybody shows up to the meeting, it should pass," Knopp said.
He said he believed the amendment's failure last time around was due in part to absent board members, particularly one student member who walked in to the meeting after the board had voted on the issue.

St. Louis Cardinals among top donors to Bush campaign
ST.LOUIS — Some of President Bush's best campaign donors are the owners of the St. Louis Cardinals, who hosted the president for the club's opening game against Milwaukee.
Owner William O. DeWitt Jr., has raised at least $200,000 from other contributors for the president's re-election campaign.
At least 13 Cardinals owners have given at least $2,000 a piece to Bush's current campaign, according to the Federal Election Commission.
Since 2001, they have contributed at least $743,000 to various GOP candidates and committees, Dwight Morris & Associates told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
But not all of the Cardinals owners are Bush backers.
Since 2001, according to the Morris firm, various Democrats have received more than $18,000 from Michael E. Pulitzer, chairman of Pulitzer Inc., and his wife.
"From start to finish, we did not endorse anything to politicize this event," said Cardinals President Mark Lamping.

In match of starting pitchers Rockies win season opener
PHOENIX -- Randy Johnson was good, but Shawn Estes was much better, leading the Colorado Rockies to a 6-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the season opener yesterday.
Estes allowed two hits in seven innings, Charles Johnson hit a two-run homer off The Big Unit and the Rockies won on opening day for the first time in three years.
Todd Helton was 4-for-4 with a double and scored a run for Colorado.
Johnson hit 97 mph on the radar gun, but threw 114 pitches in six innings, allowing three runs on six hits. He struck out six, walked three and hit a batter.
Arizona's Luis Gonzalez hit two solo home runs, and Colorado's Luis Gonzalez hit a two-run shot in his major league debut.
Estes, who struck out three and walked two, retired 14 of the first 16 batters he faced. Johnson, coming off a 6-8 season interrupted by surgery on his right knee, pitched on opening day for the 12th time, and sixth in a row.

Lawyer wants Colorado school officials kept quiet
The Associated Press
DENVER — Attorneys for a woman who says she was raped by University of Colorado football players or recruits want school officials barred from making public statements about her lawsuit that could affect a fair trial.
Lisa Simpson's lawyers say a gag order also would help prevent future leaks of confidential material and protect the identities of other alleged rape victims, according to briefs filed Friday and made available Monday in U.S. District Court.
University lawyers don't oppose a gag order, as long as
we've tried to respect a balance. There are numerous occasions related to other issues where our lawyers could envision us needing to speak publicly."
Michele Ames
Colorado University spokøswoman
they're allowed to defend university officials or others involved in the case against disparaging public allegations.
to Magistrate Craig Shaffer, who is considering a gag order in Simpson's case.
Her lawsuit, which alleges she was sexually assaulted by players or recruits during an off-campus party in December 2001, sparked the CU football recruiting scandal.
Both sides made their requests
Simpson has agreed to have her name used in media reports.
Shaffer refused to sanction the university in March, after excepts from Simpson's diary showed up in several local newspapers. Shafter said it was unclear who distributed the excerpts, which were redacted in documents released to the public, but agreed to consider a gag order.
Both sides asked that the gag order not apply to the independent
commission investigating the university's recruiting practices. The panel, assembled by the CU Board of Regents, should be allowed to review documents and take testimony from people that may fall under the gag order, the briefs said.
However, the identities of alleged rape victims referenced in court documents or who testify before the commission should be protected, Simpson's brief said.
The university's court brief asked that a gag order list specific people it would apply to, because the school could not control statements made by students, faculty or others not directly involved in the case.
School attorneys also requested that settlement talks, potential
witnesses and issues related specifically to Simpson's lawsuit not be discussed publicly by anyone directly involved in the case.
The brief noted that information related to the lawsuit also could pertain to CU recruiting policy changes, the commission's investigation or other related issues that should not be subject to the gag order.
"We've tried to respect a balance," university spokeswoman Michele Ames said Monday. "There are numerous occasions, related to other issues, where our lawyers could envision us needing to speak publicly."
Simpson's attorneys also asked that anyone directly involved in the case be barred from granting interviews or making statements that could affect the outcome of a trail
"We support a strong enforceable gag order that applies to all parties that prevents the press conferences and talk show appearances that have characterized the last two months," Simpson's spokeswoman Lisa Simon said in a statement Monday.
Two other women have filed lawsuits against the university alleging they also were raped by athletes during or after the off-campus party.
The suits accuse CU of fostering a hostile environment for women in violation of federal laws guaranteeing equal access to education.
No criminal sex assault charges have been filed.

DESTINY: Fans and team add to player's experience
BENNETT MORRIS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Sophmore Destiny Frankenstein turned a double play as senior Dani May sid
into second base yesterday afternoon at practice. The KU softball team takes on
Missouri in Columbia today at 6 p.m.
In high school, Frankenstein played all four years at varsity. No small feat when her graduating class consisted of 1400 kids.
Frankenstein's high school team won two state championships, including one in her senior year, and claimed second twice. With a resume like that, it was no surprise that Frankenstein was honored her senior as a Gatorade Player of the Year.
"Getting Gatorade Player of the Year for Oklahoma was a really big accomplishment for me," Frankenstein said, "because that was one of my main goals since my sophomore year in high school."
When Frankenstein came to visit Kansas, she immediately noticed one detail about the team, and loved it.
"One of the reasons why I came here is because the team chemistry was so great," she said.
Their elaborate pre-game rituals also illustrate the family bond the girls share. Before every game starts the team does a dance choreographed by sophomore Jessica Moppin. The outfielders dive onto the foul line to the cheers of their teammates, and then they circle up for something even more meaningful
"It's letting the pitcher know I'm there, I've got your back. When I go up there I say, let her hit it to me, and I'll get the out," Frankenstein said.
The girls often hang out together and the closeness translates into some of the talk that goes on at a softball game. Frankenstein said that it was a common for a player will go up to her pitcher and let her know the whole team is behind her.
Since coming to Kansas, Franklinstein has amassed another impressive list of accomplishments. As a freshman, she started all 48 games and led the team with 28 RBI. This season, she's already hit four homeruns and contributed in the hit category as well.
"We like to spend time together; it's really like a sisterhood," she said.
On and off the field though,
Frankenstein is a team player.
The girls on the team are more
than just teammates, though.
"We sing the alma mater, we just started doing that this year. It was just something we could do together," Frankenstein said. "We like the whole unity factor, and just representing our school."
While Frankenstein loves the game of softball, it also provides her with a relief for a feeling that burns inside of her. It's a drive that athletes feel, as well as many who strive to be the best at what they do.
"I love competition. It's a really great outlet for me," Frankenstein said.
Partially because of that passion, and partially because of her love of the game, Frankenstein gets excited about fans in the stands.
"Hit and Run were a surprise," Frankenstein said. "They came to our first game, and it was'oh, ok,' but when they started doing the Rock Chalk Chant it really hit home that we were here for us."
Hit and Run are the nicknames of two KU students who come to each home game. They have their "names" emblazoned across their T-shirts and always come prepared to heckle.
Anyone who has been to a softball game will recall the same two fans that are the first fans that Frankenstein thinks of.
Like any Kansas student,
Frankenstein has her list of "favorites." The team enjoys getting together for a night at El Mezcal, where they know all of the staff. She also enjoys grabbing a sandwich at Yello Sub.
As far as her post-player future, Frankenstein's first thoughts are still to softball, but as a coach. The psychology major already has had a taste of what it's like to be able to influence young softball players.
Unlike other students, Frankenstein has a special place she can go when she wants to be alone, just to think.
"I'd like to become a coach someday. I don't know at what level. I coached my old summer team last summer and that was great," Frankenstein said.
"Now that we have the new ball park, I can just come to the dugout and sit and take it all in," she said.
While thinking about how much she would enjoy coaching her own kids some day, or perhaps even returning to the University as an assistant, Frankenstein pointed out one benefit of never completely letting the game go.
"Every time you step on the field, you're learning something new about yourself and the game," she said.

RANDLE:
Jail time, fine
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Randle pled guilty to the attempted theft and no contest to the disorderly conduct and unlawful use of a driver's license.
Randle was found guilty on all counts. He was given two days jail time and a $200 fine for the attempted theft. A $250 fine and two days jail were issued for the two counts relating to the March 5 fight. He must also pay $64 in court costs.
Randle's jail sentences will be served concurrently and begin April 23. The $200 he posted for bail will work toward his fines. He can also work community service at $5 an hour to pay for $50 of his fines, but his court costs must be paid in cash or check.
Randle said he had already done some community service, and the judge said he might have counted it if Randle could provide evidence of this to the court. Randle will also be on supervised probation for one year.
Coach Mark Mangino said the matter would be dealt with internally, but Randle would not be dismissed from the team.
Woods under pressure
The Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. — One green jacket and Tiger Woods was already being compared to Jack Nicklaus.
Four straight majors, and the comparisons climbed even higher—to himself.
Woods has won eight majors—none of his peers have more than three—but Woods is facing sharp scrutiny because he has gone the last six majors without winning.
"It's different for me versus any other player," Woods said yesterday. "Some other player has a bad week, misses the cut, it's no big deal, he slips through the radar. Whereas, if I shoot one bad round, it'a little different."
The lofty standard facing the No.1 player in golf was never more clear when Woods arrived at Augusta National. He is the betting favorite to win the Masters for the fourth time, and yet there is a feeling this major has never been so ripe with contenders.
But this is no surprise.
"It's the only thing I've ever known since I've been out here," Woods said, "I was compared to Nicklaus when I first came out here, and now I'm being compared to what I did in 2000, 1999 and 2001."
It was during that time that
Woods made history just about every time he played. He won nine times and $9 million in 2000, the centerpiece of a stretch when he won five out of six majors.
"The people out there, spectators, if they don't see Tiger in the top five making a charge on Sunday afternoon, there's something wrong with him," Ernie Els said.
Expectations have taken on a new meaning.
He hits the ball great on the practice range. There are moments of doubt on the first tee.
But even Woods concedes that his swing is not the same as it was in 2000, and there are inconsistencies in his game that he is trying to solve.
"It's not easy to trust your swing if your mechanics are not quite sound." Woods said.
Augusta National should be a good place to find some answers.
No one has ever played the Masters on a course this long and this firm. While the fast fairways should negate some of the length, the greens will accept only the best shots.
It doesn't necessarily favor the longest hitters or the sharpest short games, but simply the best players.
Woods already noticed some severe differences.
He could reach the par-5 second hole with a good drive and a 3-wood the last few years. During
a practice round Monday, he got there with a 6-iron.
What really got his attention was the precision required this week.
"If you don't hit the proper shot this week, you're really going to pay the price," Woods said.
"The landing areas are that much smaller now. It's going to become more apparent who is really hitting the ball as the week goes on, because you can't get away with having a bad ball-striking day."
Then again, Woods can't get away with a bad day at anything.
In his final tournament before the Masters, Woods opened with a 75 at The Players Championship and almost missed the cut. He extended his record streak to 120, but was never a factor on Sunday.
Never mind that he won earlier this year at the Match Play Championship, or that his last two events were the only times he has finished out of the top 10 this year.
Now, he has some company
"Yes, he's cooled down a little bit," Els said. "But he's still playing on a very high level. He's up there."
Phil Mickelson, leading the PGA Tour money list for the first time in six years, won the Bob Hope Classic and has finished in the top 10 in all but one event.
KUAC: Board to take on advisory role at end of June
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
As the KUAC plan stands, the five voting members set to be on the new board are the athletics director, the vice-provost for student success, a senior University administrator, the University's chief business and financial planning officer and a faculty representative to the Big 12 Conference.
The student body president will also be included, but will not have a vote.
The new board will answer to Chancellor Robert Hemenway and be responsible for setting Athletics Department policy.
These changes are set to take place at the end of June.
The current board, which includes three students, will become an advisory committee also reporting to the Chancellor.
Knopp said he was hopeful that people would realize the importance of having a voting student on the board.
"I just think students are the most important constituency when it comes to college athletics." Knopp said.
Reid Holbrook and Mike
"The one student out of five or six voting members is not going to turn the tide. But the students should be able to register their discontent with a given policy."
Andy Knopp Student body president
Maddox were among the board members who voted against Knopn's amendments.
Holbrook said he thought the high turnover rate of student body president might affect the stability of the board, because it would bring in a new voting member each year.
Maddox said it was important to keep the board small to ensure it operated efficiently.
Board members who opposed the amendments also pointed out that students would still be present on the advisory committee, and the student body president would still serve on the board, just without a vote.
"The one student out of five or six voting members is not going to turn the tide," Knopp said. "But the students should be able to register their discontent with a given policy."
Knopp said he understood the reasoning behind these arguments,but a vote was still important.
Nick Sterner, a Shawnee sophomore who has been involved with KUAC, cited the student fees that go to pay for non-revenue sports — $40 per year per student.
He said Student Senate would cross that bridge when it got there.
He said not having a student vote on the board was akin to taxation without representation.
Knopp did not want to speculate on the fate of the non-revenue sports fee if a voting student was not put on the board.
Knopp said he hoped the the KUAC could resolve the issue at its next meeting, which will likely be a teleconference. The date of the meeting has not been set, Knopp said.

STATE:'Hawks remain positive
Kansas has lost four straight games after being swept by Oklahoma last weekend at Hoglund Ballpark. The Jayhawks are looking to rebound against the Shockers before facing a top 25 team in Texas A&M this weekend.
"Were excited, we are ready to get rolling on a winning streak right now and there's not a better team to do that against than Wichita State," senior first baseman Baty said.
Baty had a good series against Oklahoma last weekend, hitting .385 in the three game series. The Jayhawks will need Baty's strong offensive numbers to continue if they wish to knock off the Shockers. The Shockers top three pitchers all have earned run averages below three.
The Jayhawks starting pitcher will be Scott Sharpe. Sharpe has an ERA of 3.50 on the season and is 2-0.
The first pitch is scheduled for 7 tonight at Hoglund Ballpark.

Tonight, students will have their first opportunity to hear the top candidates from both coalitions face off and try to convince them.

Commision endorses restriction on parking
By Azita Tafreshi
atafreshi@kansan.com
kansan staff writer

"Some of those cars might tend to stay in the spaces for three or four days and never be moved, so you're locking up this space for a long period of time," Ford said.
The fundamental issue is that the Parking Department is not set up to provide overnight parking for off-campus residents, Ford said. The entire parking system is based upon the turnover of lot spaces and the idea that any space might be used by four or five people over the course of a day, he said.
The proposed rule change is based on complaints the commission has received from students and staff who frequent JRP, said Allen Ford, parking commission chair. He said the complaints have centered on how the limited spaces in the lot were being occupied by cars that were left overnight.
Each day 2,300 students go to JRP. and with only 182 yellow spaces, demand for the lot is high, Ford said.
Fifty to 80 sorority members from Chi Omega, Gamma Phi Beta and Sigma Kappa buy yellow permits and frequently park in the lot because of insufficient space in their chapter house parking lots. This rule would force them to park in the lot near Memorial Stadium instead.
Members of the three sororites on West Campus Road are in for a bit of a hike if Provost David Shulenburger approves a new proposed parking restriction.
The Parking Commission has endorsed a new rule for the parking lot behind JRP Hall. The proposed restriction would prohibit parking in the yellow portion of the lot between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. Monday through Friday.
To help ease the problem, the commission asked sorority members to voluntarily park in the lot near the stadium last year, but complaints have continued. Ford said.
Representatives from the sororities and the Parking Department met last month. The sorority representatives suggested that the commission apply its restriction to only a portion of the lot, allowing overnight parking in about 60 of the spaces, Ford said.
He said the commission considered the compromise but rejected it because the alternative of parking near the stadium was not thought to be unsafe. Making an exception on the basis that there is a safety issue with that lot could create legal concerns, Ford said. He said making that exception would seem like admitting that there were safety problems with the lot near the stadium that were being ignored.
"Safety is a concern for sorority members who will have to park in the stadium lot," said Jenni Waring, president of Chi Omega. The Leawood junior said she wished that the new restriction hadn't come about but that chapter members have already made themselves available to anyone who needs a ride up from the stadium. "The writing's already on the wall, so we're just

Yellow Sub intersections get commission's attention
Every time David Benson, associate chemistry professor, crosses the intersection of 11th and Indiana streets, he said he fears for his life. The intersection, which does not have a stop sign or pedestrian sign, causes traffic problems.
Since January, one car crash has occurred at Eleventh and Indiana streets and two have occurred at 12th and Indiana streets.
After a complaint from a disgruntled student in December, the city commission referred the issue to traffic engineer David Woosley and city engineering manager Terese Gorman.
Woosley and Gorman are collecting data on the types of accidents that have occurred and on the volume of traffic. Woosley did not know if the intersection presented a problem because he needed to review the information more, he said.
They will prepare a report and will

Drivers leave four-year-old on bus for nearly seven hours
JETMORE — Two substitute school bus drivers who inadvertently left a 4-year-old boy on a school bus for nearly seven hours have lost their contracts and could face litigation.
The boy's mother, Candice Koehn, said her lawyer was investigating the case.
Koehn's son Erik was picked up from his home in rural Hodgeman County last month, bound for preschool at Jetmore Grade School. He remained strapped into a safety seat for almost seven hours before his mother and school officials found him.
Immediately after the incident, the Jetmore school board suspended the drivers, Dan Shuler and Nick Cossman. On Monday, the board terminated the drivers' contracts completely. Shuler handled the morning bus route on March 22 and Cossman handled the afternoon route.
Cossman handed the decisive call. "The issue has been a concern, there's no doubt about it," said Jetmore Superintendent Randall Jansonius. "It was definitely unintentional."
Jansonius wouldn't say if Shuler's position as a woodwork instructor at Jetmet High School was in jeopardy.
Ariel Tilson/Kansan
The Jetmore district now calls on drivers to check a list of all children who board their buses so school officials know which students to expect, Jansonius said.
Erik's mother said that, after expressing some fears, her son is getting used to the bus ride to school again.

PHOENIX—Ten Democratic governors, including Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Missouri Gov. Bob Holden sent a letter yesterday to President Bush asking federal authorities to investigate the cause of the recent spike in gasoline prices.
The man is standing in the water, holding a fishing rod with a weighted ball attached to it. He appears to be preparing to catch a fish. The background shows a natural setting with trees and grass. There are flowers in the foreground.
"This is a significant national concern, and it deserves more than the traditional Washington political response of pointing fingers," the letter said.
The letter asked for a complete explanation of why prices have risen so significantly in the last several weeks.

Senate passes legislation on study abroad
By Andy Marso
amarso@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The Student Executive Committee upheld Student Body President Andy Knopp's vote in committees and Student Senate passed the bill he voted on last night.
The bill, which Knopp cowrote, would add a $4-per-semester student fee for study abroad scholarships. The bill now becomes a student referendum in next week's Senate elections. It must pass by a two-thirds vote.
The bill passed committees last week after Knopp cast the deciding vote in the university affairs committee.
Jack Henry-Rhoads, university affairs committee member, made an appeal to the StudEx Committee contesting Knopp's right to vote. Senate rules and regulations state that the president is a non-voting member of all five standing committees, including university affairs. The last two presidents, Jonathan Ng and Justin Mills, both said they never voted in committees during their terms.
But the StudEx Committee upheld Knopp's vote, citing a separate Senate rule that states that all students may join a committee and vote after they have attended one meeting.
The committee voted 6 to 2 to deny Henry-Rhoads' appeal. The bill then went before full Senate for debate.
When Knopp introduced the bill, Scott McKenzie, CLAS senator, tried to ask about his vote in university affairs. Josh Kaplan, business senator and university affairs chairman, declared that the question was out of order because the StudEx Committee had already decided the appeal.
But Knopp answered it anyway.
"If anyone has a problem with the student body president voting in the committee he's been in for four years we can write legislation to address that, but I would hope it wouldn't affect study abroad," Knopp said.
After that, Catherine Bell, student body vice president, said that questions about Knopp's vote would not be allowed.
The bill faced questions from senators about how many students would actually benefit from the scholarships,how much the scholarships would be and if the $4 shouldn't have been proposed as an optional fee instead.
"This is asking a lot from students, and it's not going to give back that much," Jayme Aschemeyer, off-campus senator, said.
Other senators spoke in favor of the bill, saying that enhancing
study abroad would provide more opportunities for global experiences and increase the value of a University degree by setting the University of Kansas apart from other schools.
Jeff Morrow, graduate senator, said that even though he probably wouldn't study abroad, the increase in the value of his degree would be well worth the $4-persemester investment.
After about two hours, the senators voted to end the debate with seven speeches still on the floor. The bill then passed by the required two-thirds majority.
Other Senate news:
Senate passed a bill to allow student organizations to request Senate funds for conference registration fees.
Senate passed a resolution urging the federal government to repeal parts of the USA PATRIOT Act that affect University policies.
Senate passed a resolution urging the University to reconsider the ban of radio station 96.5 The Buzz at the Student Fitness Recreation Center.
Senate allocated $759 to the American Institute of Graphic Arts to bring illustrator John Sprengelmeyer to Lawrence as a guest speaker. Sprengelmeyer, cocreator of the Captain Ribman comic strip, will speak from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on April 26th at the Meat Market, 811 New Hampshire St.

Agencies, University try to stop students from illegal music downloads
By Anna Clovis
aclovis@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Downloading music and movies for free might seem like a good idea, but officials at the University of Kansas think otherwise.
THREE STRIKES AND YOU'RE OFFLINE
As part of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, when agencies such as the Recording Industry Association of America contact the University with copyright violations, action has to be taken.
If a person is accused of violating a copyright, the University will follow this process:
First offense: The person is emailed and asked to erase the deleted files. He or she must successfully complete the quiz on the KU DMCA Web site,
"The epidemic of illegal file sharing dramatically impacts both of our respective communities," said Cary Sherman, president of the RIAA and co-chairman of the joint committee. "We are in this boat together, and that's why collaborative solutions are the best approach."
www.dmca.ku.edu.
■ Second offense: The person must meet with Jenny Mehmedovic, coordinator for Information Technology policy and planning, and a representative from the dean of students office.
■ Third offense: Internet privileges are terminated.
The RIAA created a committee in the fall of 2002 to act as a bridge between the recording industry and universities. The Joint Committee of the Higher Education and Entertainment Communities provide resources to school administrators through educational programs, technology solutions and collaboration for legislative initiatives.
Source: www.dmca.ku.edu
While the committee helps discover what can be done to combat illegal downloading, it doesn't mandate what universities should do about it. In the end, it's up to the individual universities to find policies that work for them.
At the University, Jenny
Mehmedovic, coordinator for Information Technology policy and planning, said the University's policy is to not proactively monitor for copyright violations, but when contacted by outside organizations such as the RIAA with suspected IP addresses, they would investigate.
"They send us the IP address, then we internally research to find out who it is," Mehmedovic said. "We do not share the name unless there is a subpoena or search warrant."
On March 18, the Provost's
office sent e-mails to all faculty, staff and students notifyting them of DMCA and the University's process of dealing with violations.
After the University identifies the user, the person is contacted by e-mail, Mehmedovic said. The e-mail asks for the downloaded files to be erased and for the accused person to take an online quiz.
The quiz asks questions about the uses of the campus network. According to the Web site, if the person does not complete the quiz or delete the files, the network connection will be temporarily disconnected until he or she complies.
If a student, faculty or staff member is reported a second time, the person must meet with Mehmedovic and a representative from the dean of students office.
Mehmedovic said between five and 50 cases were reported to her office each week. Most reported cases occur in the residence halls, she said.
A third offense, which Mehmedovic said had not happened yet, results in being permanently kicked off the network.
The goal of the process is to educate students, Mehmedovic said. She said after students completed the quiz and deleted the files, the incident would be closed.
John Wilson knows what it's like to be caught with downloaded files. The Lawton, Okla., sophomore was reported to the University for downloading music and movies on his computer in K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall.
The reports caught Wilson by surprise because he was turned in for files he downloaded during his freshman year. He said the record companies conducted its searches by looking for material they deemed as popular, such as Meet the Parents, a movie he was turned in for
downloading.
Wilson has been reported twice and said he no longer illegally downloads music or movies not only because of penalties he might suffer, but what his roommates might have to deal with.
"In K.K. Amiini there is only one Internet jack, so if I got kicked off, it would get shut off for everyone," Wilson said. "My options were to stop downloading or move out."
The University does not control access to file sharing Web sites and software. Mehmedovic said peer-to-peer file sharing software could be used for legitimate reasons in academic settings.
The University isn't alone in encouraging copyright education. According to the RIAA's Web site, the association "prefers to educate all citizens so they know what is legal and illegal."

BUDGET OVERVIEW: A 'KANSAN' SERIES
University tuition increases: Good if used properly
This year will complete the second of a five-year tuition increase at the University of Kansas. Although the Kansas Board of Regents has yet to set the rate of increase
for next year's tuition, an addition of about $600 has been the norm.
As cringe-inducing as the University's words "tuition enhancement," sound to the students who have to pay for it, it's helpful to know just where
OUR VIEW
Tuition increases will improve the University as long as they are used in the ways they are intended.
that money is going. For the most part, the intentions are good. The University saves 20 percent of the revenue for need-based financial aid. About 4 percent of the increase is used for improving technology equipment for all parts of the KU campus. For this academic year, a combined $2.2 million of the increase is projected to boost the salary of faculty and unclassified staff.
The increases are fine as long as they do what they are intended to, which is actually enhance the University and meet its goals. But Gov. Kathleen Sebelius's budget recommendations for fiscal year 2005 still leave this University with a $7.7 million shortfall.
Furthermore, the Legislature shouldn't see tuition revenue as a justification to plug other holes in the budget. As Chancellor Robert Hemenway said before the House Education Budget Committee,"We do not believe that students pay tuition to earn
USES FOR TUITION ENHANCEMENT REVENUE
The decision to approve how tuition money will be allocated for the 2004-05 year won't be finalized until June. Here's a look at what has been decided and what is pending:

- $2 million: faculty salary
- $2 million: new faculty/programs
- $1 million: GTA salary
interest for the state generally. They expect their tuition to pay for education."
The University continues to be recognized as a "best value" institution, as it was again this week by the Princeton Review.
$1 million; miscellaneous operating expenses
■ $900,000: unclassified staff salary
■ $500,000: faculty start-up
■ $500,000: libraries
$500,000: libraries
WHAT'S PENDING:
- $500,000: new staff positions
- $200,000: new GTAs/lecturers

Tuition increases are meant to be a step in strengthening the University. But given the continuing budget crunches in Kansas, the word "enhancement" becomes an unpleasant irony.
PERSPECTIVE
Internet e-mail scams can stop with you
Warning: any self-proclaimed Internet junkie should read this. You may have already fallen victim to what I am about to tell you, and if not, it won't be long until you too are in danger. We must get the message out — tell everyone you know. Mass e-mails claiming impending danger are not real. Stop sending them.
COMMENTARY
Ana Loretta
Sara Behunek
opinion@kansan.com
In the milieu ruled by Jerry Springer and supermarket tabloids, e-mail hoaxes play on our humanistic tendencies toward others' misfortunes and juicygossip. but unlike its sensationalistic counterparts, e-mail hoaxes pose as a credible news source and are taken seriously despite glaringly obvious lapses in logic.
With all cerititude, acquaintances frequently send me grave e-mails warning of the dangers of chemicals in tampons, gang initiation rituals and off-the-wall conspiracy theories. M.L. Grant, cofounder of boutell.com, inc., a guide for Webmasters, said he thought e-mails carry unwarranted reliability because of a public who ascribes importance to the written word.
This may apply to from the "netlore" I recently got from a concerned friend. The message was from Captain Abraham Sands with the Jacksonville Police Department. In desperate and foreboding tones, he warned about a malicious prank in which someone was attaching HIV-positive hypodermic needles to the
underside of gas pumps.
"In the Jacksonville area alone," Sands' e-mail said, "there have been 17 cases of people stuck by these needles over the past five months." At the end, it urged — in capital letters and an excess of exclamation points — to pass the message to everyone in my address book.
But there is no Jacksonville Police Department; it was changed to the Sheriff's Office in the mid-60s. And there has never been a Captain Abraham Sands on the police force.
Suddenly disillusioned, I decided to look further into the e-mails that have plagued my in-box for years, the anonymous notes from strangers with a harrowing tale, revealed only to save the at-risk masses.
Rob Rosenberger, Internet watchdog and founder of vmyths.com, a site disseminating the truth about Internet security hysteria, said he thought most hoaxes proliferated through well-meaning but gullible people. Like a digitized version of the telephone game, hoax-mails are changed, added to and edited over time, he said.
In the days of snail mail, chain letters still flourished. But no doubt, the Internet has vitalized and accelerated the chain-mailing process.
The only way to curb the spread of hoax-mail is by individually determining what is worthy of forwarding.
If a suspect e-mail urges you to forward it to everyone you know, it is probably a hoax, Rosenberger said. Similarly, if it is from an unidentified "genuine expert" or if it doesn't offer a link to an authoritative Web site, it's fake.
Most importantly, use logic; mass murderers and hypodermic needles belong on the news and in headlines, not as the subject of mass e-mails.

'George Bush's Vietnam': The United States in a mess
It has been more than a year since President Bush declared war against Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Since then, American soldiers have successfully killed or captured 59 of the 52 persons from Saddam's regime who were on their most-wanted list, including Saddam and his sons Uday and Quasay.
T
Capturing Saddam and dismantling his regime was supposed to significantly cripple the resolve of Saddam's Baath Party loyalists and regime remnant radicals. Instead, small pockets of resistance throughout Iraq have helped to add to the more than 600 troops who have lost their lives for the sake of spreading democracy to an oppressed people who did not ask for U.S. assistance.
Sometimes I ask myself when the Iraqi conflict is going to end. Maybe Bush wants to impose a new form of the Truman Doctrine. Instead of stopping: the spread of communism throughout the world, the United States will topple
COMMENTARY
Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy said, "Iraq is George Bush's Vietnam." If that is the case then Bush is following in the footsteps of Kennedy's brother, John E Kennedy, who got America in Vietnam in the first place. I do not usually agree with Ted Kennedy but I have long said
Brandon Cobb
opinion@kansan.com
There are some interesting parallels between the Iraqi War and Vietnam. First, the U.S. government has underestimated the resolve of the enemy. No matter how many people the United States kills or captures, it will be impossible for them to crush every pocket of resistance. In the Vietnam War, the United States killed more than 2 million Vietnamese and still could not stop the communist North from taking over the South's capital of Saigon. America had to evacuate Vietnam after losing so many soldiers for absolutely no reason.
that the Iraqi War is this generation's Vietnam. However, I do not believe that the number of casualties will reach 58,000, as it did in the Vietnam War.
Second, I do not think any of the presidents who served during the Vietnam War had a clear objective as to why the United States was there, and Bush is falling into the same category.
tary of Defense Robert McNamara, who served during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations and is considered one of the architects of the Vietnam War, said, "The United States, is making the same mistakes all over again. We're misusing our influence. It's just wrong what we're doing. It's morally wrong, it's politically wrong, it's economically wrong." I could not agree more. Everyone knows that America is the only superpower in the world. The U.S. government does not have to bully countries such as Vietnam and Iraq to prove its might to the rest of the world.
Onimwithdennis.com, former Secre-
The last interesting parallel is Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry. Kerry served in Vietnam only to come back and criticize U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Now fast forward to 2004, John Kerry supported Bush's Iraqi Resolution but later criticized the United States' involvement in Iraq. That is a pretty crazy coincidence.
The June 30 deadline to hand over power to the Iraqi people is right around the corner and I do not see how that is going to happen. The United States is going to be in Iraq for a long time trying clean up the mistakes they have made.

Bush had better get his act together soon. Weekly roadside bombings and guerrilla warfare against U.S. soldiers is wearing some Americans' patience thin. Bush also needs to make a clear distinction between the Iraqi War and the war on terrorism, because the two seem confusing at times. I have yet to see the correlation between Iraq and terrorism. Now America is a year into this Iraq mess and none of the threats the Bush administration said existed have come into fruition.

Study asks why people resemble their canines
By Matt Rodriguez
mrdriguez@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Lawrence Humane Society's annual Mutt and Strut contest gives awards to people who resemble their pets.
Last May's winners were a tall, thin woman with blonde hair and her skinny, beige-colored Whippitt—a type of short-haired breed that looks like a miniature greyhound.
"They both had an elegant face and thin build but the catch was that they both were outstanding runners," said Linda Watrak, coordinator for the society's stray-holding facility. "It was amazing to see how much they really did look alike"
Nicholas Christenfeld, a professor of psychology at the University of California in San Diego, said that resemblance is common and he is trying to find out why.
"It's fascinating to use science to answer these questions," said Christenfeld.
Christenfeld is no stranger to atypical research. He has studied, for example, the correlation between a person's initials and their life-span.
In a recent study, Christen-
feld and co-researcher Michael
"It doesn't just come down to one trait like looks or personality. It's a combination of reasons why dogs and owners can resemble each other."
Nicholas Christenfeld
University of Californiaiain San Diego professor
Roy had a group of undergraduate students take pictures of 45 pets and their owners at a San Diego dog park.
The two researchers showed the pictures to another group of students to see if they could match dogs with their owners.
The majority of the students were able to do it, Christenfeld said. The results showed that owners and their pets, especially purebreds, resemble each other.
"It doesn't just come down to one trait like looks or personality," Christenfeld said. "It's a combination of reasons why dogs and owners can resemble each other."
The researchers wrote in their study that when a person picks a
pet, they look for one that resembles themselves and usually get what they want when they get a purebred.
Kevin Essian said he and his four-year-old Siberian Husky, Nick, get the same shaved haircut during the summer, but look nothing alike.
"I've had people tell me that my dog's personality resembles my own, but as far as looks, they think we look nothing alike," Yessian said.
The two do resemble each other in the way they greet strangers.
Yessian said Nick will go up to someone he doesn't know and show some slight interest with a sniff or stare and then leave him or her alone. Yessian said he does the same, except for the sniffing.
Yessian's shared personality traits are not unique. The Lawrence Humane Society, 1805 E. 19th St., trains workers to match dogs with an owner based on personality.
"You can't always be breed specific," Watrak said. "We have to match the dog specifically to their owner's lifestyle, and not so much on their looks, in order for both the owners and the dogs needs to be met."

Sebelius visits grade schools
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN — Gov. Kathleen Sebelius showed her support for Kansas schools yesterday by reading poetry for third graders and answering questions about public service from sixth graders.
During a visit to Marlart Elementary School in Manhattan,
she told teacher Ken Garwick's sixth-graders that finding legislators willing to make tough decisions about schools was difficult.
"A lot of people say we need more money for schools but don't want to make anybody mad,"she said.
Sebelius said she understands concerns about raising taxes
— she wants to keep the money she earns — but Kansans have expectations for government services, including education.
The Democratic governor was making her second visit to a Kansas school this week, after stopping Tuesday in Emporia. Other visits are expected with the Legislature on break until April 28.

Ford wants hybrid-buyer tax break
The Associate Press
NEW YORK — Ford Motor Co. chairman and chief executive Bill Ford Jr. said the government should offer $3,000 tax breaks or possibly boost taxes on gasoline to spur consumer interest in gas-electric hybrid vehicles.
Ford's comments yesterday were a reaffirmation of views he has previously expressed and come as his company is investing heavily in more fuel-efficient vehicles.
He said incentives such as tax breaks or rebates of $3,000 per vehicle would be most effective.
He also mentioned his past
support of an additional 50-center-gallon tax on gas, which he said would make fuel economy a purchase motivation for the customer.
But he said he wasn't prepared to say now how big a tax hike might be appropriate and acknowledged such a tax increase "doesn't have legs" in the political arena.
"I'd like to get either federal or state and local help ... and I think it's the responsible thing to do," he said. "If the federal government really wants to encourage this kind of behavior — and they should — then that's a way they can clearly help."
Ford's remarks came to automotive journalists at the New York International Auto Show even as the nation's second biggest automaker announced it was increasing to three from two the number of hybrid vehicles it will offer in the next few years, adding, another sport utility vehicle.
Ford will build a Mercury Mariner hybrid SUV for the 2007 model year.
The Mariner will join the Ford Escape SUV and a future midsize sedan in the automaker's hybrid program.
system allows the compact SUV to get 35 to 40 miles per gallon in-city driving, compared with 20 miles per gallon in a 2005 Escape with a V6 engine.
The Escape hybrid, to be built at Ford's plant in Claycomo, Mo., will be for sale this summer. Ford says its hybrid
Hybrids draw power from two different energy sources typically a gas or diesel engine combined with an electric motor.
For now, the only versions available in the U.S. are small cars made by Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp., but nearly every automaker is investing in hybrid technology.
in trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Ford shares were off 33 cents to close at $13.67.
Professor studies work motivation
By Joshua Kendall
jkendall@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Businesses like Sears and Affinitas, a telemarketing company with a branch in Lawrence, set goals for employees by tempting them with rewards.
A study conducted by James Guthrie, professor of business, is helping businesses learn how monetary rewards, or incentives, influence group goal commitment in a team environment.
Sears offers a percentage of every item sold as commission, said Marcus Skala, former Sears clerk and recent KU alum. For example, a big screen television pays employees a 12-percent commission while a phone is 0.5 percent, Skala said.
"This didn't motivate us to work harder, but it made us become cuttroth," Skala said.
The body of research, known as goal setting, was shaped by Guthrie's mentor Ed Locke, professor of leadership and motivation at the University of Maryland in the mid-1960s. Guthrie's approach took previous knowledge of goal setting and investigated how programs such as group "pay-for-performance" affect an employee's commitment to a goal and their performance levels.
Guthrie said it was important to note that a goal without goal commitment would not influence performance.
In almost all previous research, Guthrie said, researchers have assigned goals to participants. He was interested to see how a reward would affect a group without the presence of a mandated goal, like the situation at Sears.
"If humans are goal-oriented creatures, as many believe, then why wouldn't they be more likely to establish goals for themselves in the presence of reward opportunities?" Guthrie said.
Catherine Schwoerer, professor of business, said that people can only be coerced to follow goals to a point. Mandated goals by employers force people to comply with, but do not raise, commitment. The process is neglected and the goal is never internalized, she said.
Teams are more apt to follow through with goals when they are set either on their own or in conjunction with management, Guthrie said. By setting a specific target and an incentive, productivity and commitment to that goal is heightened, he said. Guthrie also thought that individual goals in tandem with team goals foster both individual performance and group cooperation.
A simple goal to "do your best" doesn't promote the same caliber of commitment, whereas a goal to increase the teams' sales by 20 percent will more likely improve performance. Guthrie said.
Skala said that if Sears had placed the team first instead of the individual, it was in the best interest of everyone to stay committed to the goal.
"If there is no reward for any sort for a goal, then there is absolutely no motivation," Skala said. "It doesn't necessarily have to be money, but no one does anything for nothing."
Goals are always focused on outcomes, Schwoerer said. When the outcome is the only emphasis, you may not get the process you want to see.
"Most of the time people hung around the televisions and vacuums because they were the items that gave you the highest percentages," Skala said.
The choice of what to reward in a business context is critical, Guthrie added.
"A primary principle in psychology is that behavior that is rewarded tends to be repeated," Guthrie said.

Marines strike back after uprising
The Associated Press
FALLUIAH, Iraq - U.S. Marines in the third day of a battle to pacify this Sunni Muslim city fired a rocket and dropped a 500-pound, laser-guided bomb on a mosque compound yesterday, and witnesses said dozens were killed. Shiite-inspired violence spread to key cities in Iraq.
The fighting in Fallujah and neighboring Ramadi — just east of Baghdad — has killed 15 Marines since Monday and was part of an intensified uprising involving other Sunni towns in northern and central Iraq, and Shiite population centers south of the capital.
Marines waged a six-hour battle around the Abdul-Aziz al-Samarrai mosque with militants
The fight began when a Marine vehicle was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade fired from the mosque, wounding five Marines, and a large U.S. force converged on it, Byrne said.
holed up inside before a Cobra helicopter fired a Hellfire missile at the base of its minaret and an F-16 dropped the bomb, said Marine Lt. Col. Brennan Byrne.
Witnesses said the strike came as worshippers had gathered for afternoon prayers.
An Associated Press reporter saw cars ferrying out dead and wounded. Witnesses estimated that as many as 40 people were killed.
The military gave widely varying accounting of the casualties. Master Sgt. Robert Beyer, a spokesman for the 1st Marine
Expeditionary Force in Camp Pendleton, Calif., said one "enemy combatant" was killed, and there were "no worshippers" or civilian casualties. Byrne, in Iraq, said "we believe we killed a bunch of these guys."
Witnesses said part of a wall surrounding the mosque compound was destroyed but the main building was not damaged.
In Baghad, Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt told CNN that from photos of the mosque he had seen, "the actual mosque structure itself" was not damaged.

"However, it can be attacked when there is a military necessity brought on by the fact that the enemy is storing weapons, using weapons, inciting violence and executing violence from its grounds." he said.
Because casualties were rushed to makeshift clinics in private homes and mosques, the number of dead and wounded was unclear.
During fighting elsewhere in Fallujah, U.S. forces seized another mosque, the al-Muadidi mosque, and a Marine climbed its minaret and fired down on gunmen, witnesses said. Insurgents hit the minaret with rocket-propelled grenades, causing it to partly collapse, the AP reporter said.

Detroit designers map out aesthetic future of cars
By Michelle Krebs Knight Ridder newspapers KRT campus
KRT campus
Amina Horozic, 21, a senior studying transportation design at Detroit's College for Creative Studies, nervously waits for Dave Lyon, General Motors' executive director of design, to give some sign whether he likes her car sketches that cover the wall.
His expression and questions to her provide no clue.
Since she and her brother played with cars in their Harrison Township home, Horozic, born in Sarajevo, Bosnia, has had a lifelong dream to be a car designer. Now, with her final school project, the dream is within her grasp.
She and the other seniors are assigned as their last semester project to design a GM vehicle for 2020. (Four major automakers alternate sponsoring the senior project.) GM's sole requirement is that the futuristic vehicles use the skateboard-shaped chassis of its Autonomy fuel cell concept, unveiled at the 2002 Detroit auto show.
Horozic's egg-shaped concept looks more like wild sci-fi transportation than a current car. She's designed the vehicle from the inside out, with the idea that the vehicle has replaced the family dining table as a place to converse and interact.
At long last, Lyon, a 1990 CCS
At长最后，Lyon，a 1990 CCS
delivers his verdict. "It's
spooky," he said. "In a good way.
Do one even outlandish."
Lyon then moves on to the next student, spending the evening critiquing sketches that will be turned into three-dimensional clay models for a final grade and likely a ticket for a job this spring when Horozic and 16 others, including nine from Michigan, in her class graduate.
Such design reviews are daily drills at CCS, one of the world's top breeding grounds for car designers, but one that few Detroiters outside the auto industry realize has a global reputation.
"CCS is the nation's best-kept secret in design education," said CCSE dean of academic affairs Imre Molnar, who moved to CCS in 2001 from the rival Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Calif., the nation's other major school for car designers.
CCS's transportation program draws students from the Detroit suburbs as well as from all over the world, like 25-year-old Sung-Yeah Song from South Korea, who picked CCS because "it's the best in the world. It's famous in Korea."
Students are a variety of ages, from 23-year-old senior Nick Renner from Iowa to adults making career changes, such as Mark Surel, 33, a DaimlerChrysler clay modeler who wants to do his own car designs instead of create three-dimensional models of someone else's designs.
CCS transportation design program is its close association with car designers working in the profession. Ralph Gilles, a top DaimlerChrysler designer who most recently designed the just-introduced Chrysler 300C and Dodge Magnum, is a professor for the senior class.
Byron Fitzpatrick, who spent his long career in design from Australia to England and Germany, is chairman of the industrial design department and transportation design program.
"On any given day, four or five established designers will be teaching here," Molnar said. "In fact, most transportation design classes are held in the evenings so we can attract the best designers to teach."
One of the strong points of the
Once restricted to mostly GM, Ford and Chrysler designers, CCS's transportation design program has gone international in its associations with foreign car companies and their designers.
Toyota, for instance, recently gave the school $1 million for a visiting speakers program. Many of the foreign makers have Detroit-area design operations that lend their support to the school.
Projects such as the seniors' assignment are another boost for the school. While the seniors work on the GM project, juniors in the studio next door work on an assignment from specialty vehicle maker ASC to create the next-generation of open-top
vehicles. The day of the senior critique by GM, the juniors have just returned from a field trip to ASC headquarters in Southgate.
Another group works on a project assigned by French automaker Renault to come up with "the next big thing" in motor vehicle design. Another just-completed project had students designing vehicles that make extensive use of aluminum, sponsored by aluminum maker Alcan.
CCS's transportation studies program is highly selective and limited in numbers — only 25 sophomores are chosen to go into the program. In part, the small number is to ensure they have jobs after graduation and having paid $100,000 in tuition for four years, said CCS President Richard Rogers, who noted that even last year during tough times in the industry, all graduating seniors had jobs.
The selectivity and limited enrollment are likely to continue. Rogers said.
Changes in store for the transportation studies program will be more focused on digital skills used for rendering concepts, as well as on conversion of sketches to math-based data so models can be made on high-tech equipment like the school's new milling machine.
"We're trying to stay at least up to date or ahead of the curve with the changes in the auto industry," Rogers said.

RASHAUN RUCKER/DETROIT FREE PRESS
a graduate program in transportation design, a first in the United States, said Rogers, who says CCS would then be the only school in the world to offer transportation design at both undergraduate and graduate levels. He said a graduate program would appeal to a different student population, perhaps people in other design fields or people with the skills for transportation who want to make a career change with a graduate degree.

Wyandotte Nation fights Kansas to keep casino
The Associated Press
TOPEKA - For the third time in a week, a federal judge has denied a request from the Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma for a temporary restraining order that would allow the tribe to keep its Kansas City, Kan., casino open.
U. S. District Judge Julie Robinson said yesterday that the Wyandotte Nation has not shown that it would suffer irreparable harm if the casino were to remain closed, nor did it show convincing evidence it would win a legal fight to keep its casino operation open.
Last week, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., denied a request from the tribe for a temporary restraining order, and the same judge denied a similar request this week.
Local and state officials last Friday closed the downtown casino — located in narrow trailers that are encased in paneling and attached to a renovated Masonic Lodge building—and hauled off more than $1 million in cash and property, including about 150 gambling machines.
The Wyandotte Nation said the state has no jurisdiction on what the tribe says is tribal land. An attorney for the tribe asked
Robinson yesterday to prohibit the state from taking any further enforcement action and to order the return of the seized property.
Conly Schulte, representing the tribe, called the state's closing of the casino an egregious violation of tribal sovereignty.
"Even if we were to assume that gaming is unlawful on that land, it's solely up to the federal government to prosecute," Schulte said. "It's not in the state's jurisdiction."
Kansas Attorney General
Phill Kline sued the National
Indian Gaming Commission
and the U.S. Department of the
Interior last fall after the Wyan-
dotte Tribe of Oklahoma opened the casino.
Late last month, the gaming commission ruled the casino was operating illegally and gave the tribe a week to respond. After that week passed, state and local officials stepped in and closed the casino.
"The state has no jurisdiction to enforce any of its gambling laws on land owned by the Wyandotte Indian Nation," Schulte told Robinson.
Assistant State Attorney General Steve Alexander said the state disagrees that the property can be classified as tribal land, an issue he said was left up in the air by a 1996 federal
appeals court ruling that allowed the land to be placed in trust for the tribe.
Jackie Rapstine, an attorney representing the gaming commission and the U.S. Department of Justice, said that if the property is tribal land, the state did not have the authority to act.
There is a difference between land purchased by a tribe and "tribal land," the attorney general's office said. Gambling is allowed on traditional tribal land, so long as it meets certain criteria, but generally isn't permitted on land that's only owned by a tribe.
Alexander said it could take several years to resolve issues
such as jurisdiction and legality of the casino, and in the meantime the state would have no authority over an unregulated gambling operation.
"Is it reasonable to expect Kansas to sit there twiddling its thumbs for the next five years while the Wyandotte tribe opens and runs an unregulated casino?" Alexander said.
Robinson gave both sides two weeks to respond to a motion by the federal government to dismiss the Wyandotte case, and set a May 4 hearing on whether to issue a preliminary injunction against the gaming commission and Kansas officials.
Soldiers' deaths mourned at Ft. Riley
The Associated Press
FORT RILEY — With skies overcast and the noise of a distant artillery practice in the background, several hundred mourners filled a chapel on the Fort Riley Army post to honor five soldiers who died in Iraq.
The service occurred as troops still in Iraq faced the fiercest fighting since Baghdad fell last year.
During the ceremony's quietest moments, the deep rumbling of fire from artillery practice on base could be heard.
The five soldiers, killed March 31 in a roadside bombing, were 1st Lt. Doyle M. Hufstedler, 25, of Abilene, Texas; Spc. Sean R. Mitchell, 24, of Youngsville, Pa.; Spc. Michael G. Karr Jr., 23, of San Antonio, Texas; Pfc. Cleston C. Raney, 20, of Rupert, Idaho; and Pvt. Brandon L. Davis, 20, of Cumber-
"As I look at these young faces, I think that they could be my young sons or their friends."
Kathleen Sebelius Kansas governor
Several officers who spoke during the ceremony made reference to the ongoing fighting in Iraq.
Lt. Col. Tim Willoughby, chaplain for the Army's 1st Infantry Division, noted that a year ago, Fort Riley saw its first casualty from the war in Iraq, Sgt. Jacob Butler. Thirty-five of the post's soldiers have died.
"This has become a familiar experience for us at Fort Riley,"
Willoughby said during the service. "It's painfully familiar but it certainly has not become routine, nor will it ever be so."
Hufstedler's wife, Leslie Mitchell's wife, Denise, and an aunt of Raney's, Gloria Trivitt, attended and met with Maj. Gen. Dennis Hardy, the post's commander, before the service began.
Hufstedler was to be a firsttime father. His daughter's birth is expected later this spring.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius also attended the service, along with area legislators.
After the service, Sebelius noted that she is the mother of two sons, ages 19 and 22.
"As I look at these young faces, I think that they could be my young sons or their friends," she said.
About 4,400 Fort Riley soldiers remain in Iraq. The men who died were members of the 1st Engineer Battalion, 1st Brigade of the 1st
Infantry Division. Their unit denoted in September.
The battalion, organized in 1846, has fought in every American war since, except the Korean War in 1950-53. Ten soldiers from the battalion have died in Iraq.
In all, at least 600 U.S. troops have died in Iraq since the war began March 20, 2003.
President Bush declared an end to major combat on May 1.
However, in Iraq yesterday, troops were dealing with an intensified uprising involving both Sunni and Shiite Muslims.
American Marines fought a fierce battle for Fullujah, a Sunni Muslim stronghold, firing rockets that hit a mosque. Also, the U.S. military's deputy head of operations said U.S. forces were trying to hunt down members of an army loyal to a radical Shiite Muslim cleric.
Gates foundation aides upgrades
The Associated Press
HARTFORD — Elmendaro Township Library is the only place within a 20-minute drive to check out a book.
It's small—just a couple of rooms in a former restaurant-coin laundry in Hartford, in east-central Kansas.
It's open 20 hours a week for the 500 people who live in Hartford and the 500 others who live in the surrounding township.
It operates on an annual budget of less than $20,000.
But it has two personal computers that the public can use for free.
Students in Elmendaro Township can use them to connect to the World Wide Web to help with their homework.
Their parents regularly use the machines for such things as
sending e-mail and getting driving directions.
Like other libraries across the country, Hartford got its computers for free, through grants.
But experts are worried that U.S. libraries - especially smaller ones with nickel-thin budgets - will have a hard time paying for software upgrades and hardware replacements that are needed every few years.
The Gates Foundation has been making "sustainability grants" to state libraries to help them through the rough economy.
These require matching funds.
The foundation also is funding self-sustaining programs that will help librarians get computer training.

Limbaugh's attorney argues privacy rights
The Associated Press
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. Rush Limbaugh's attorney argued yesterday that investigators trampled the conservative commentator's privacy rights when they made a surprise visit to a doctor's office to seize his medical records.
Limbaugh attorney Roy Black asked a state appeals court to keep the records sealed from prosecutors who accuse the radio host of illegally buying prescription drugs.
Black argued that investigators should have provided some notice they were going to seize records containing private information but instead used search warrants and gave Limbaugh no chance to challenge the seizure.
"The Legislature said you can't
do a wholesale seizure and hope to find evidence of a crime," Black said. "You'd have to stand privacy on its head."
But prosecutor Jim Martz said giving notice would have limited the ability to investigate allegations that Limbaugh illegally "doctor shopping" to obtain pain pills, visiting several doctors to receive duplicate prescriptions. Martz said the Legislature has protected law enforcement's ability to conduct criminal investigations.
Limbaugh, 53, has not been charged with a crime and the investigation is at a standstill pending a decision on the medical records. The 4th District Court of Appeal did not say when it will release a ruling.
Chief Judge Gary M. Farmer asked Limbaugh's attorney how
prosecutors should have pursued the case.
"If the search warrant has been approved by the judge, the judge has found that there is evidence indicating that a crime may have been committed and the defendant may have committed it," Farmer said. "That's sufficient to issue the search warrant."
But Black argued that privacy rights call for law enforcement to use the least intrusive means to obtain medical records and said investigators went too far by using warrants to seize years' worth of records.
The appellate panel asked Martz why prosecutors made a blanket seizure of records from three doctors' offices in Palm Beach County and another in Los Angeles. Judge Carole Y. Taylor asked if the warrants were "narrowly drafted to seize only
those records that would relate to the doctor-shopping charge."
Martz said investigators need to examine all the records to compare claims Limbaugh made to his various doctors to determine whether he lied to obtain overlapping prescriptions.
The prosecutor said investigators "did everything in their power" to protect Limbaugh's privacy, but added they could not have warned Limbaugh of the impending seizure.
"Once you notice the target of the investigation that you're looking for that information, how do you guarantee the veracity of that information?" Martz said after the hearing.
Prosecutors went after Limbaugh's medical records after learning that he received about 2,000 painkillers, prescribed by four doctors in six months, at a
pharmacy near his Palm Beach mansion.
Limbaugh admitted his addiction to pain medication in October, saying it stemmed from severe back pain. He took a five-week leave from his afternoon radio show to enter a rehabilitation program.
If Limbaugh's appeal succeeds, the criminal case against him could be stalled for good. But if the appeals court sides with prosecutors, the ruling could open the records to officials who have been waiting for months to pursue their case against Limbaugh.
Joining the well-known conservative in his legal battle is the American Civil Liberties Union, which argues that the outcome of the case could affect the confidentiality of doctor-patient relationships.
'Newsday' columnist accused of fabrication
NEW YORK — The head of a conservative lobbying group accused *Newday* columnist Jimmy Breslin of making up quotes attributed to him in yesterday's column.
The Associated Press
The newspaper's editor said Breslin, a Pulitzer Prize winner, told him the quotes came from a 1992 interview, and that it would have been better if the columnist had made that clear.
The Rev. Louis Sheldon, chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition, said he had "never met Jimmy Breslin, never had the conversation described in his column today and never said those sentences to anyone in my life."
In the column, Breslin wrote.
"I don't agree that homosexuals come to someone's door and kidnap their children, and I've never said that."
Rev. Louis Sheldon Chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition
"Homosexuals are dangerous.' Sheldon assured me one day. ... They proselytize. They come to the door, and if your son answers and nobody is there to stop it, they grab the son and run off with him. They steal him. They take him away and turn him into a
homosexual."
Sheldon, speaking by telephone from Anaheim, Calif., said he had never said anything of the kind.
"I don't agree that homosexuals come to someone's door and kidnap their children, and I've never said that," he said.
He said the column, in which Breslin refers to him as "a fruitcake," was intended "to demonize me."
The editor of the New York edition of Newsday, Les Payne, said Breslin told him the conversation with Sheldon took place at the Republican National Convention in Houston in 1992.
"He told me that he interviewed him and they had a give-and-take," Payne said.
Breslin did not immediately respond to a request for an interview placed through the newspaper.
Breslin quoted Sheldon, whom he called "the little minister," about homosexuality and pornography in an Aug. 18, 1992, column from the GOP convention.
The quotes from 1992 and from yesterday were not the same, but Breslin said there was a larger exchange, Payne said.
Sheldon said he was at the convention but did not recall speaking to Breslin.
He said he had sent a telegram of complaint to Newsday. Payne said the newspaper would respond to Sheldon's complaint, but he didn't say how.
Breslin did not mention in yesterday's column that he was quoting a conversation from 1992. Asked if that should have been made clear, Payne said, "I think our readers should be let in on the time frame. sure."
Breslin won a Pulitzer Prize in 1986 for distinguished commentary writing and has written several books. He also had a late-night television show, "Jimmy Breslin's People," which lasted 13 weeks in 1986.
The Traditional Values Coalition, founded in 1980, describes itself as the largest church lobby in the United States. Its mission is to "restore America's cultural heritage" by opposing gay rights, abortion rights and the teaching of evolution in public schools, among other issues.
Shark attack claims life of surfer in Hawaii
HONOLULU — A surfer was killed yesterday by a shark off the coast of Maui — the first deadly shark attack in Hawaii in several years.
The 57-year-old man was helped out of the water, but died on the shore despite rescue efforts by beachgoers, police and paramedics. He was bitten in the leg
and suffered severe blood loss, police Cant. Charles Hirata said.
. He said the bite was 14 inches long.
"It has to be a fairly good size shark to do that damage," said Randy Honebrink, spokesman for the Shark Task Force of the state Department of Land and Natural Resources. "Right now
we don't have any idea of how big or what kind of shark it was."
One witness told police the surfer missed catching a wave, turned back out and was paddling when the attack occurred. He was attacked about 300 yards off Kahana beach on Maui's western
shoreline.
Only four shark attacks were reported in Hawaii last year.
In 1999, the husband of Nahid Davoodabadi, 29, of Sunnyvale, Calif., said his wife was killed by a shark while the couple was kayaking off West Maui. Her body was never recovered.
The last confirmed shark
attack death in Hawaii was in 1992 when 18-year-old surfer Aaron Romento of Pearl City was attacked off West Oahu. In 1991, a woman swimming near her home on Maui was killed by a 15-foot shark.
Honebrink said there are an average of four shark attacks off the Hawaiian Islands every year.

National gas prices climb to new high
WASHINGTON - Oil and gasoline futures prices shot up more than 3 percent yesterday after the government reported a decline in supplies, surprising energy traders.
The price of crude oil for May delivery rose $1.18 to $36.15 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, where May gasoline futures moved 3.91 cents higher to $1.113 per gallon.
"This is the time of year when we're supposed to be building crude inventories" at a rate of about 2 million barrels per week, said Ed Silliere, vice president of risk management at Energy Merchant in New York.
Instead the Energy Department reported that commercially available oil supplies fell by 2.1 million barrels to 292.2 million barrels for the week ended April 2, leaving nationwide inventories 20.9 million barrels below the five-year average for this time of year. Still, supplies are about 4 percent above levels a year ago.
Gasoline supplies fell by 800,000 barrels,putting them 5.5 million barrels below the fiveyear average and even with last year,according to the federal agency.
At the retail level, the average price of gasoline nationwide is $1.77, according to AAA — a record in nominal terms, although not when adjusted for inflation.
Energy prices have been high all year due to a combination of factors; tight supplies, strong demand, a weak dollar and market fears about limited U.S. refining capacity and political instability in several oil-producing nations.
In other Nymex trading, May heating oil futures rose 3 cents to 90.59 cents a gallon, while natural gas gained 6.3 cents to settle at $5.872 per 1,000 cubic feet.
On London's International Petroleum Exchange, May Brent crude futures gained $1.10 to settle at $32.45.

WAR ON TERROR
Sept.11 suspect freed; not enough evidence
The Assoiciated Press
HAMBURG, Germany — The only Sept. 11 suspect ever convicted walked out of jail yesterday smiling and laughing, freed less than 2 1/2 years into a 15-year sentence after judges ruled the evidence was too weak to hold him pending a retrial.
Mounir el Motassadeq, whose conviction on charges of aiding the Sept. 11 plotters was overturned last month, seemed euphoric as he left the Hamburg court building with two friends and his lawyer. He said nothing but laughed as reporters peppered him with questions.
The 30-year-old Moroccan, who had been behind bars since his November 2001 arrest, headed home to his apartment in a Hamburg suburb to be reunited with his wife and two children.
Explaining their decision, the judges said evidence for the main charges against el Motassadeq more than 3,000 counts of accessory to murder — was no longer "urgent" because they lack testimony from an Al Qaeda suspect in U.S. custody. El Motassadeq was ordered to stay in Hamburg and report to police twice a week.
The accessory to murder charges remain in force, along

Stephen Push Founder, Families of Sept. 11
with a charge of membership in a terrorist organization. But freeing the Motassadeq was a fresh blow to Sept. 11 prosecutions after the same court acquitted his friend and fellow Moroccan Abdelghani Mzoudi, of identical charges in February.
The court's decision infuriated a spokesman for Americans whose relatives were killed in the Sept. 11 attacks. Stephen Push said he remained convinced of el Motassadeq's guilt.
"We don't want to see people who are involved in a conspiracy to kill our loved ones go free," said Push, a founder of the New York-based Families of Sept. 11 group. Push's wife was aboard the hijacked plane that crashed into the Pentagon.
"These people should be in prison," he said by telephone from Virginia.
In Washington, State Depart
ment deputy spokesman Adam Erell expressed disappointment over el Motassade's release.
"We believe the evidence against him is strong and we believe he is a dangerous guy," Ereli said.
El Motassadeq has acknowledged training at an Al Qaeda camp in Afghanistan and being close friends with Hamburg-based suicide hijackers Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shhehi and Ziad Jarrah. He has denied knowing of the plot to attack the United States.
He had been held in a red-brick Hamburg prison since being convicted in February 2003 of giving logistical help to the Hamburg Al Qaeda cell.
An appeals court last month threw out el Motassadeq's conviction and ordered a retrial starting June 16. It said he was denied a fair trial because the United States would not grant his lawyers access to his friend Ramzi Binalsibh, a Yemeni captured in Pakistan and now in American custody.
Binalsibh is believed to have been the Hamburg cell's main contact with Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda network, and defense lawyers said he might have been able to testify that el Motassadeq was not involved in the plot.
NATURAL DISASTER
Flood in Mexican town kills 34; survivors come back to ruins
The Associated Press
PIEDRAS NEGRAS, Mexico — Skies once filled with threatening clouds cleared and the cleanup of the destruction caused by flooding that killed 34 people got under way in this town on the U.S. border.
Even as hundreds began picking up the pieces of their damaged homes and water-logged belongings, many of their neighbors were burying loved ones.
Bulldozers rumbled through the streets, and soldiers and city employees tossed debris into garbage trucks, doing their best to pick through the rubble of toppled cars, demolished buildings and smashed furniture.
Torrential rain beginning Sunday night caused the Escondido River to overflow, triggering flash flooding that damaged 600 homes, destroyed 150 others and left 2,000 people in makeshift shelters.
Electricity had been restored to a portion of Villa de Fuente, the working class neighborhood hit hardest by the floods, said Marcela Aguirre, a spokeswoman for Piedras Negras, a town of 200,000 some 150 miles southwest of San Antonio, Texas.
The federal government prom

ised an initial allocation of more than $3 million to rebuild damaged homes and replace lost belongings. Social Development Department Josefina Vazquez announced Tuesday, after touring the area.
"Some of the houses should be relocated," Vazquez told W Radio yesterday morning. "They can't go back to constructing on the river's edge, because it is a very high-risk zone."
Officials said they hoped to complete their damage assessment by Saturday.
When 36-year-old Manuel Gallegos returned to his home Tuesday, he found the roof had been blown off and all that was left was a muddy table and chairs that had been scattered around.

"We made our living from that store but all that is left is the sign," Gallegos said as he pointed to a beer sign attached to a yellow post laying on the ground. "But at least we all made it out alive."
Not far away, dozens gathered in Piedras Negras public cemetery, holding flowers and weeping as Marina Esparza, a 33-year-old housewife, and her 6-year-old daughter were buried.
The two drowned after the truck their family was riding in was flipped over by the rushing current. Esparza's husband and four boys survived.
A few feet away, Raymundo de Luna buried his grandmother, 84-year-old Graciela Hernandez, his mother, Asuncion Scott, 70, and sister, 47-year-old Ofelia Scott. The three drowned after water trapped them in their home.
"My mother yelled to climb on the rooftop," de Luna said. "My nephews and I went up there and then climbed a tree, but (the three victims) weren't able to make it."
De Luna said he and his nephews clung to a tree for six hours before they were rescued by helicopter.
Iran plans to build nuclear plant soon
The Associated Press
VIENNA, Austria — Iran will start building a nuclear reactor in June that can produce weapons-grade plutonium, diplomats said yesterday. Although Tehran insists the heavy-water facility is for research, the decision heightens concern about its nuclear ambitions.
The diplomats told The Associated Press that Iran informed the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency last year of its plans to build a reactor, and Iranian officials have previously suggested the reactor was already being built.
The diplomats said construction had not yet begun and that Iranian officials announced the June start date for the first time during talks Tuesday in Tehran with Mohamed ElBaradel, director general of the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency.
One diplomat said the planned 40-megawatt reactor could produce enough plutonium for a nuclear weapon each year, an amount experts commonly say is 8.8 pounds.
With Iran open about its desire to build the facility, the diplomats said the Iranian decision to go ahead with the plan was not an overt example of Tehran backtracking on pledges to dispel suspicions it is pursuing nuclear weapons.
Still, it "sends a bad signal at a time all eyes are on Iran," one of the diplomats said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
International scrutiny of Iran's nuclear program has been growing since the IAEA discovered last year that Tehran had not disclosed large-scale efforts to enrich uranium, which can be used in nuclear warheads.
Traces of weapons-grade uranium found by inspectors and evidence of suspicious experiments led to a series of critical resolutions by the IAEA's board of governors.
Iran argues that it needs the reactor to produce radioisotopes for medical research. But spent fuel rods from the planned reactor can be reprocessed to produce plutonium — also used for nuclear warheads — although the facility would be subject to IEAA inspections and other controls intended to make sure no plutonium is created.
The United States and other countries may seize on Iran's plans as further evidence that the Islamic Republic is not serious about quelling suspicions about its intentions.
"We feel strongly that there is no need for indigenous heavy water in Iran," said a Western diplomat, also speaking on condition of anonymity. "It's not necessary and highly suspicious."

ROSES: Contestants auditions for many reasons

adjectives that best describe you," and "Why haven't you met your dream guy/girl yet?"
Leah Newby, creative services producer at KTKA ABC 49 in Topeka, said that all kinds of people showed up for the event.
"We've had a really great turnout," Newby said. "But nobody's gotten crazy, yet."
Crazy or not, the applicants were all given numbers and then interviewed for about three minutes on camera. Tapes of interviews and applications will be sent to California for evaluation by ABC, then contestants will be chosen from the lot.
Humorous, entertaining and unpredictable Jacqueline Zwerner said she wanted to be on the show not to win, but to take a chance.
Many of the people who attended the event were students from the University of Kansas, looking for love for all different reasons.
"I'm just waiting to get on the show," the Las Vegas sophomore said. "If I don't get on, I don't get on. There's always The Real World."
Zwerner said the show could bring her to find true love.
"If it's love, it's love," Zwerner said. "If it's going to happen, it could happen anywhere, why not on TV?"
For the application's dream guy question, Zwerner said that he hadn't found hers.

Dykes said that they were attending the casting event to have fun, rather than to find true love.
"I came on the condition that I wasn't going to be picked," Dyke said.
Another of the bachelor-bailshirted friends, adventurous, spirited and caring Carrie Wilson agreed.
"I really just wanted to see what kinds of people were going to be here," the Beloit senior said. "We wanted to see mullets."
Some students, like calm, confident and reliable Kevin
Muoschalen, went to the casting event looking for a soulmate. The St. Louis senior was one of about 10 men hoping to get on the show.
"I want to find my one true love," Muoschalen said. "I'm hoping that I'd be more considered for the bachelor."
Compassionate, dedicated and crazy Denise Augustine said that she thrived on the competition.
"I have that killer instinct," the Wakeeney sophomore said. "There's fire within me."

PARKING: Residential parking not a priority

People who are concerned about walking up the hill at night still have the option of calling the KU Public Safety Office or Jaywalk, who will escort them to their destination, Ford said.
Another alternative would be for students to park in the red portion of the lot behind JRP and then move their car over to the yellow section by 7 a.m., he said. Ford said exercising this option would be the similar to commuters who arrive at the lot early to get a good parking spot.
"If they're willing to get up and move their car at 7 in the morning, we think that mitigates a little bit of the complaint from the education people," Ford said.
Ford also said that if the commission had accepted the sorority members' proposal, it could have been perceived as favorable treatment.
"If we did that, someone could look at that and say, 'Why are you carving out a special exception for these sororities that don't even live on campus?'" Ford said.
The parking situation behind JRP is a genuine problem, said Angie Carr, coordinator for Fraternity and Sorority Life. But she said she was having a hard time accepting the proposed policy as a fair solution. Carr said she did not understand why the concerns of the students from JRP who have complained were seemingly more important than the students who park in the lot overnight because they've purchased the same pass.
Sororites on West Campus Road have limited space in the chapter house parking lots, with 50 to 80 members using the yellow lot behind JRP Hall as a parking alternative. There are 182 yellow spaces in the JRP lot.

"Providing parking for off-campus residential units is not really one of the Parking Department's charges."
Allen Ford Parking commission chair.
It comes down to the fact that the sororities are not on University property, Ford said.
"We are obligated, primarily, to people who come back and forth to the campus," Ford said. "Providing parking for off-campus residential units is not really one of the Parking Department's charges."
It's true that it's the responsibility of those chapters to find parking for their members, Carr said, but their houses were built in the early 1900s.
"Things have grown up around those houses, and there's nowhere to park," Carr said.
"That's why they purchase those parking passes."
Kyle Johnson, Wichita senior, is a student representative on the Parking Commission. He said that regardless of where they live, the sorority members were students and permit holders, and kicking them out of the lot between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. would not solve the problem.
He also said that he thought the policy was one of the worst that had been created in his three years on the Parking Commission, and that he planned to petition the restriction and speak with the Provost about overturning the commission's proposal.
"I think it's a lot less to ask of JRP and Carruth O'Leary patrons to walk up the stairs in the morning than it is for the girls to walk up the stairs at night," he said.
Enforcement of the policy will be discussed at the commission's next meeting, and the commission will send its report and proposed restriction to the Provost by the end of the semester. If the rule change is approved, it would go into effect in August.
DEBATE: Students not allowed to ask questions

They might have the edge in mechanics, but nothing beyond that."
The candidates will answer questions from four panelists. A panelist will ask one coalition a question, which the candidates will then have three minutes to answer. Their opponents will then be given a chance to respond. This year's panel will be made up of two students and two faculty members.
Last year each panelist was allowed one question and then the floor was opened for questions from the student audience.
This year elections commissioner Dane Hague decided to eliminate the open questions portion. He said students would be able to question the candidates at the informal debate so he wanted to reserve the formal debate for the panelists to ask questions. Hague said he expected the formal debate to last about an hour.
Dunlap said he and Munch did a practice debate where they had their candidates and supporters ask them the hardest questions they could think of to prepare for tonight's debate.
Swenson said he and McKenzie examined their platform issues and those of KUnited to prepare. McKenzie said he was looking forward to the debate.
McKenzie said students shouldn't expect politics as usual.
"It's going to be pretty aggressive," McKenzie said. "We're basically going to be taking the gloves off and getting into details."
"It will be about 1,000 times more interesting than Bush vs. Gore," he said.

If the traffic safety commission decides the intersection poses a problem, they will present a recommendation to the city

Akright advises bus drivers to be cautious by driving slowly when making turns around the
Hesaid that removingparking spots in front of Yello Sub, 624 W. 12th St., would be a good idea. Adding a stop sign at 12th and Indiana streets would also be good, he said.
Workers at Yello Sub find traffic problems with both intersections.
Kevin Mulcahy, baker at Yello Sub, has problems getting to and from work.
"I have to slam on my brakes and honk at people who always try to jump that stop sign," Mulcahy said.
Jake Strickbine, Yello Sub delivery driver, said all of the delivery drivers have problems.
"People just fly around that corner without looking," Strickbine said. "I have had a few close calls."
Vice mayor-elect Dennis "Boog" Highberger did not think the corner presented a huge problem, though it was dangerous.
When they park along the west side of the building, they have to back out of a blind corner.

In a battle of a baseball game, Wichita State may have landed the first punches. But the Kansas Jayhawks had the knockout punch in last night's baseball game at Hoglund Ballpark, as the 'Hawks defeated the 10th ranked Shockers, 13-6.

The Shockers began the game with senior outfielder Nick Blasi drilling the first pitch off Scott Sharpe over the centerfield wall to give the Shockers a 1-0 lead. Phil Napolitan, junior utility player, then took the second pitch he saw over the left field wall and Brandon Green, senior infielder, brought home Logan Sorensen, first baseman, to extend the lead to 3-0.

Sean Richardson, junior catcher, then hit a two run shot and Andy Sholl, junior outfielder, added an RBI single to score Matt Tribble, senior outfielder. The run gave the Jayhawks
the lead 4-3. Wichita State starter Jeremey Foster lasted just two thirds of an inning before Tommy Hottovy entered in relief.
"The thing I was most proud of was we got hit in the mouth in the first inning and we didn't back down," coach Ritch Price said. "We answered right back."
Hottovy was able to stifle the 'Hawks and gave up just two hits in four and a third innings.

A rainy morning blossomed into a warm, spring evening and Kansas fans came out to the game in full force and witnessed a Jayhawk victory. Mid-way through the first inning, empty seats were tough to come by.

As soon as Luther Vandross finished crooning One Shining Moment following UConn's claiming of the NCAA title, and CBS left us with our final visual memories of another great NCAA Tournament, preparations for next season promptly moved to the forefront.
ESPN's Andy Katz added fuel to the fire, naming Kansas as his early pre-season No. 1 team in the nation for the 2004-05 campaign. And why not? The Jayhawks return four starters, including three seniors who are more than seasoned when it comes to dealing with expectations and flat-out winning. Coach Bill Self will have a deeper bench to draw from next season and could possibly land prep star Malik Hairston in Lawrence by week's end. Oh yeah, and everyone should be healthy again.
But don't let the glitz, glamour and hype fool you. There is still a lengthy list of improvements to be made if the Jayhawks want to be making a trip to St. Louis next April. The obvious culprits are free-throw shooting and mastering Bill Self's high-low offense, but

White Sox defeat Royals win is manager's first
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Ozzie Guillen felt he could almost hear his country cheering.
Fueled by solid relief pitching and three home runs, the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 4-3 yesterday and made Guillen the first Venezuelan-born manager to get a major league win.
"We have a lot of political problems our country, like in a lot of countries," Guillen said. "To help my country, to give something real positive to my
give something real po country is something I feel good about. I feel proud. I'm pretty sure my country feels real proud right now."

Miguel Olivo, Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Lee all homered for the White Sox, who lost Monday's opener 9-7 when the Royals scored six times for the biggest ninth-inning comeback in an opener in 103 years.
The loss means the Royals cannot repeat their 9-0 start of last year, which catapulted them into a season-long contention in the AL Central.
"I know for a fact that when they see us lose the way we lost, there were a lot of Venezuelans who were hurt," Guillen said. "Now they are going to hear what happened today and they are going to feel good."
"Hey, you didn't think it would happen every single time, did you?" Royals manager Tony Pena said.
esteban Loaiza (1-0) handed the bullpen a lead, and Mike Jackson, Cliff Politte and Billy Koch stopped the Royals over the final three innings.
Loaiza, second in last year's AL Cy Young Award voting after going 21-9, did not allow a hit until Mike Sweeney's RBI single with two outs in the third. He allowed three runs, five hits and four walks in six-plus innings.
Koch induced Beltran, who homered with Angel Berroa aboard to win it Monday, to fly out to shallow center with Berroa on first for the save.
Olivo, the No. 9 batter, homered for a 2-0 lead in the second after Aaron Rowand's two-out single.
Darrell May (0-1). Royals pitcher of the year last season, gave up all three homers and was charged with four runs and six hits through five innings.
Ordonez made it 3-1 with a solo homer in the fifth. Then, one out later. Lee hit his second homer in two garnes, a 430-foot drive to center.
Aaron Guiel homered off Loaiza leading off the fifth. In just his second major league game in left field, he made two strong throws to cut down Ordonez and Lee trying to stretch singles into doubles in the seventh and eighth innings.
Hnida's father told CU officials she was being harassed in 2001
BOULDER, Colo. — The father of a former University of Colorado placekicker who says she was raped by a teammate told the school's chancellor in a 2001 e-mail that his daughter had been sexually harassed, according to The Daily Camera.
The e-mail by Katie Hnida's father to CU Chancellor Richard Byyny was obtained by the Boulder newspaper
through an open-records request. In January, Byyyn said in a deposition in a lawsuit against the school that he was unaware of any sexual harassment claims by the Hnida family.
Byyny amended his deposition on Feb. 23, six days after Hnida told Sports Illustrated she was raped by an unnamed teammate in 2000. Byyny's amendment read: "I do not have a specific recollection, but I have seen an email exchange" with Dave Hnida, Katie's father.
Hnida is one of at least eight women since 1997 who have accused CU football players or recruits of rape. No sexual assault charges have been filed.
The state attorney general and an independent commission are investigating claims the football program uses sex and alcohol-fueled parties to entice top recruits.
CU spokeswoman Pauline Hale said Byyny initially "just didn't recall that brief exchange." She said Byyny didn't report Nhida's sexual harassment claims because the e-mail focused on a lawsuit by a former student who says she was raped at a 2001 off-campus party for football recruits and players.
Byyny couldn't be reached for comment Tuesday.
University policy requires administrators who observe or receive a report of sexual harassment to report it to a campus sexual-harassment officer.
Mariano Rivera gets 1st save as Yankees beat Devil Rays
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Kevin Brown pitched seven sharp innings for his 1994 victory and Jason Giambi snapped a sixth-inning tie with an RBI single yesterday, helping the New York Yankees beat Tampa 3-2.
A day after hitting his first homer for the Yankees, Alex Rodriguez drove in a run as the team strung together four consecutive hits in the sixth off Paul Abbott (0-1), who held the defending AL champions hitless for five innings.
Brown (2-0) allowed one run on five hits and struck out five to beat Tampa Bay for the second time in eight days. Tom Gordon pitched the eighth, and Mariano Rivera survived a shaky ninth for his first save.
Rivera allowed Eduardo Perez's RBI double, but escaped a bases-loaded jam when Brook Fordyce grounded sharply to the new third baseman. Rodriguez fielded the ball and stepped on the bag before throwing to first for a game-ending double play.

Mickelson eyes first major championship at the Masters
AUGUSTA, Ga. — The man in the green jacket raved about Phil Mickelson's record at the Masters—seven times in the top 10—no worse than seventh since 1999.
Mickelson saw what was coming and beat everyone to the punch.
"But no wins." he said.
Then, he reached over and playfully tugged at the sleeve of the Augusta National member sitting next to him.
"I want what you have," he said. "I want one of these. Those are nice."
Getting one has proved to be a major challenge for Mickelson, who comes into the Masters riding a streak — 0-for-42 in the majors — that has come to define an otherwise impeccable career.
No one questions his awesome ability. Mickelson has won 22 times on the PGA Tour, more than any other active player besides Tiger Woods. He is long off the tee and has a short game that even Woods says is the best in golf.
But his lack of a major became even more glaring last year when another Lefty — Mike Weir of Canada — showed
the mettle of major champions by making clutch putts down the stretch to win the Masters.
But Mickelson's hopes are higher this year, and for good reason.
Coming off his worst season on the PGA Tour — so bad that one golf publication failed to list him among the top 30 players going into the year — Mickelson looks stronger than ever.
He refused to start practicing until Jan. 1 to emphasize that last year was behind him, then came out of the blocks by winning the Bob Hope Classic and getting into Sunday contention every time he has played.
This might be the place for Mickelson to prove it.
"I certainly feel like I have a very good chance," Mickelson said. "I've played very consistently, which is something I didn't do last year. I have a lot more confidence that I'll be there come the weekend. I'm playing well enough to get into contention without having to do anything extraordinary."
Mickelson is so serious about this year's Masters that he came to Augusta National last week for two practice rounds. He identified his problems the last three years by working with coaches Rick Smith and Dave Pelz to figure out where he can save a shot per round.
It all starts to unfold in a Masters that is far different from a year ago.
One reason so many people consider Mickelson a strong favorite is because Woods, a three-time champion, doesn't appear to be on top of his game.

SOFTBALL: Team mistakes lead to loss
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Kansas has struggled throughout the season with stringing hits together, and had been in a bit of a hitting slump until Sunday's game against Texas Tech.
The game started out badly for the Jayhawks, with the team going three up-three down in their first at-bat. Missouri scored one after center fielder
Leanne Bowers reached on a single. A hit and a steal moved Bowers to third. She scored on an error by the third baseman.
"What Missouri did really well today was to take advantage of the mistakes we made," Bunge said.
put three down in innings four-six as well.
Missouri added three runs in the second as well as one run each in innings four, five and six. Kansas sent three up and Kalka
Kansas will next be in action against Texas A&M on Saturday.
The Jayhawks will play a double-header with games scheduled for 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Texas A&M is currently ranked third in the Big 12 with just one loss.

GREENE: Red uniforms correspond with 3-0 record
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
here are some individual needs that may not come to mind so quickly.
J. R. Giddens Must Avoid Sophomore Slump — Giddens' numbers in the NCAA Tournament and offensive improvements over the course of his freshman season speak for themselves. After averaging 15.8 points in four NCAA Tournament games, his breakout into the national spotlight will draw a ton of attention from NBA scouts next season.
Some draft experts are already predicting that Giddens will enter his name following next season, but if J.R. wants to be drafted as high as he possibly can, two things are apparent. First, he needs to become tougher on defense.
Giddens is extremely quick and light on his feet, but in the tournament, most notably against Pacific, he had a tough time fighting through perimeter screens. He will also have to become more of a slasher and a ball-handler. Towards the end of the season, Giddens developed more confidence in creating his own mid-range jumpers but defenses will be more prepared for his deadly three-point touch. The most important thing for Giddens, though, is continuing to excel in what worked for him this season —
his flashy dunks and perfect, rainbow threes. All he needs is a little more shine to his all-around game.
"The Hawk" Has To Soar — Aaron Miles isn't Superman. His ironman performances at the end of the season with everyone else injured went quite unnoticed, but he needs some help next season. Self defines incoming freshman guard Russell Robinson as a combo guard who can become a reliable backup point guard.
However, sophomore Jeff Hawkins was relied upon heavily by Self off the bench early in the season. In the first 13 games of the season, Hawkins played an average of 15.2 minutes per game but only averaged 3.9 minutes per game the rest of the season. In the beginning of the season, Hawkins was a reliable defender and ball-handler. He was even good for a few solid offensive outings, including 19 points in a Dec. 1 victory at TCU. If Hawkins can show some consistency, both in game situations and practice, he'd be able to give Miles more breathers.
Seeing Red Again? — Maybe this is just a personal pete peev, but the blue uniforms need to go. The Jayhawks lost their last six games when they busted out the blues. It might be karma's way of telling Self that the red uniforms should appear more often. Kansas was 3-0 in its redduds, plus they looked pretty sweet. And while on the subject of uniforms, Aaron, where'd the headband hibernate to?
Secret Agent No. 44 — What's the most important piece to Kansas' success next season? David Padgett. Self said last week that Padgett had a "nice" freshman season. It's true, he did. But he needs to have an outstanding sophomore season. Without Jeff Graves, Padgett will be relied upon to pick up most of the lost production and minutes. His 19.2 minutes per game average from this season must balloon to around 27 to 30 next year.
Adding some meat to his frame will help. Padgett showed vast improvements offensively as the season advanced, including his deadly top-of-the-key iumpshot.
That will help as Wayne Simien will more than likely be facing consistent double-teams on the offensive end and sometimes even triple-teams. Padgett will not have the luxury of picking up early garbage fouls, either. Everyone knows what Simien, Langford, Miles and Giddens are all capable of. Now it'll be time for starter No. 5 to step up.

Annie Bernethy/Kansan
The first fans began entering Holcomb Ballpark just past 5 p.m., nearly two hours before the game time. The concession areas were still being set up as the early-comers wandered in. Warm-ups were in full swing amid the clink of aluminum bats, and AC/DC and Guns'n Roses set the soundtrack over the loudspeakers.
The fans filed in students and faculty, families with little kids - smiling and waving as they passed familiar faces.
"Everybody's relaxed," said Abby Sidesinger, Gladstone, Mo., senior. "We're all here to have a good time."
Buselt said he'd also been to most of the games since his freshman year and that he appreciated baseball fans because they were into the game.
Sidesinger, a former The University Daily Kansan copy editor, said she had been to almost all of the home baseball games since her freshman year. She said she had found that the relaxed state of the fans was the big difference between baseball and other sports.
"My roommates and I joke that Hoglund Ballpark is our 'happy place,'" Sidesinger said.
His words rang true as Kansas offered a four-run outburst in the bottom of the first to take a 4-3 lead.
"We've got good hitters," said Eric Buselt, Wichita senior. "We're still in this."
Last night, the mood of the crowd never deflated. Even when Wichita State's first two batters hit homeruns, Kansas fans kept their optimism.
"You don't have as many people coming just because it's the place to be," Buselt said.
Hesaid it was bittersweet coming to Hogland because it is where he lost his state championship game in high school, but it was worth it to support Kansas.
Other fans were attending a Kansas baseball game for the first time.
Luke Casey, Overland Park freshman, said he had tried to go to games before, but his schedule had always stopped him. He said he thought he picked a good
game to make his first.
At the beginning of the game, Casey said he thought Kansas could pull off the upset, but it wouldn't affect the fun he had just coming.
"It feels like summertime," Casey said. "Walking into the park, seeing the concession stands, watching them warm up."
"I didn't come to see them win or lose," Casey said. "I just came to be at a baseball game."
For Casey the victory that capped the night off was just a bonus after a good time at the ballpark.

Once again the lead was short lived as the Jayhawks scored eight runs in the bottom of the sixth to put the game away. The inning was highlighted by Metcalf's 13th home run on the year and Baty
added two more RBI. Baty finished 2-4 and scored three runs. Metcalf also had three RBI on the day and finished 2-3.
"The number 10 team comes in here, and we are here to make sure that the Hog is a tough place to play, and right now it is," Baty said.
Junior Ken Livesey got the victory for the Jayhawks. Livesey pitched two innings of no hit
baseball to secure the victory.
The victory moves the Jayhawks to 23-14-1 and the Shockers drop to 16-5.
Up next for the Jayhawks is another highly ranked ball club as the 'Hawks will face 15th ranked Texas A&M Aggies this weekend at Hoglund Ballpark. The first pitch on Friday is at 6 p.m.

'Friends' star says goodbye, remembers cast
By Joe Neumaier
New York Daily News
KRT Campus
Matthew Perry said he had to fight back the tears when it came time to say goodbye to wiscracking Chandler Bing. "I didn't cry, but I felt like I was about to for seven hours," the Friends star said in an interview.
"There was a sweet moment where my girlfriend (fashion student Rachel Dunn) and I went for a walk on the stage. No one was there. We just held hands and walked around. It was sweet."
Perry — and the rest of the cast — knew what they were leaving behind when TV's No. 1 comedy, several weeks ago, taped its concluding episode, set to air May 6.
"None of us will probably be involved in anything as successful as Friends again," he said. "That's something we just have to deal with.
"We can have big successful movies, but nothing will ever be
that first time again, and nothing will likely span that long a period of time. So we look back, and kind of smile, and move on."
For Perry, moving on starts tomorrow with The Whole Ten Yards, the sequel to The Whole Nine Yards, playing hapless dentist Nicholas (Oz) Oseransky, who has to recruit his former neighbor, Jimmy the Tulip (Bruce Willis), and Jimmy's wife/fellow assassin, Jill (Amanda Peet), to rescue Oz's kidnapped wife.
"And, without the safety net of the show to go back to, 1 guess we'll all be a little more careful picking movies!"
"It's tough to have a movie-star persona when you're on a show as successful as Friends," Perry said. "There was talk the first few years about a curse for us movie-wise. But I don't think any of us will crash and burn now. I think we were very fortunate.
'If I never work again, that's not crashing and burning—that's called already making your mark.
in 2000, Perry's movies—including Fools Rush In, Unsung Heroes and Three to Tango were not successful.
In fact, it was while filming 2002's Serving Sara with Elizabeth Hurley that Perry had a relapse of his addiction to painkillers and wound up in rehab. The actor had spent time at Minnesota's Hazelden clinic in 1997 for a dependency on Vicodin.
Before The Whole Nine Yards
The press reported several relapses — along with an unrelated incident in which he crashed his Porsche into a house in the Hollywood Hills — which he said is over now.
"For me, it was never a question of breaking the law — it was a guy facing his private demons. So I was lucky. People seem to be behind me...The fact that everyone understood helped a lot."
His varying weight over the years was also "part of the struggles I went through," he said, adding: "I'm far away from the hellish parts of all that."
shape — though, contrary to reports. Aniston didn't act as his personal trainer.
"No, she offered to help me dress! I'm a T-shirt and jeans guy, and Jennifer wanted to help me be a better dresser. Not be my trainer — she's got better things to do!"
He still smokes, but is in great
Born in Williamstown, Mass., Perry moved to Ottawa, Canada, as a kid, then got into acting after his first career choice — professional tennis — didn't pan out. He got roles in TV movies (he played Desi Arnaz Jr. in the Patty Duke biopic Call Me Anna) and failed sitcoms, then was the last actor to be cast for Friends in 1994, which ended up with each cast member making $1 million per episode.
"It was a bit like, 'Do we really deserve this?' But without sounding weird, everybody made so much money off the show — the producers, the network — why shouldn't we be a part of it?
"It was as if the six of us were in a sl shotshot, shot into this craziness," he said. "We were thrust into public life, and we told intimate secrets about ourselves before we learned that we don't have to talk about our private life."
Since becoming famous, Perry's been linked with numerous actresses and starlets, though he said many reports were rumors.
One woman he did date was Julia Roberts.
"Yes, some I dated. But most on the girls I was linked to, I never met."
"That was back in '95," he said. "The funny thing about that was, when I was dating Julia, we had camera crews all around outside my house — and when we broke up, they left and followed her!" he said with a laugh.
Now, even though he's excited about his movie career, he still said wistfully he'd do Friends all over again.
"Everybody loved each other so much that, if it was about just being with the cast, I'd be there for another 10 years."
"I was like, 'Wait, I thought I made it.'"

New Janet Jackson album debuts at No.2
NEW YORK—Janet Jackson is now suffering from a sales malfunction.
Her new album, "Damita Jo," sold approximately 381,000 copies in its first week to debut at No.2 on the charts.Her last album, 2001's "All for You," debuted at No.1 with more than 605,000 copies sold.
Jackson was denied the top spot this time by Usher, who sold 486,000 copies of "Confessions." He debuted at No.1 last week with 1.1 million copies sold.
Jackson, 37, released "Damita Jo" on March 31, about two months after her infamous breast-flashing Super Bowl halftime performance with Justin Timberlake.
Both blamed the incident on
a "wardrobe malfunction," but it drew the ire of the Federal Communications Commission, which launched an investigation.
Since then, Jackson's popularity appears to have faded a bit. The album's first single,"Just A Little While," was a bust at radio and the second,"I Want You," has not gotten much airplay on Top 40 radio stations.
In addition, MTV, which produced the Super Bowl halftime show for fellow Viacom station CBS, did not initially play her new video, though last week they said they would add it to its rotation.
There was plenty of hype surrounding "Damita Jo," including Jackson appearances on "The Late Show" with David Letterman and "Good Morning America."
This weekend, she will be the guest host and performer on "Saturday Night Live."
Trump outsmarts birds in tic-tac-toe challenge
COACHELLA, Calif. — Without any specific strategy, dealmaker Donald Trump battled a live chicken and won $250.
The real estate mogul showed up at his namesake Trump 29 Casino Tuesday and played the Apprentice Chicken Challenge, a tic-tac-toe game with live poultry in a booth pecking its board selections while a gambler makes picks outside the box.
The Donald beat the bird.
Trump dropped in and spent a half-hour answering questions about his hit TV show, NBC's The Apprentice, and his recent stint as host of Saturday Night Live.
He also signed T-shirts and books and humored fans by spouting his catchphrase, "You're fired!"
Songwriter to release two albums in the fall

Costello is now recording the rock album with his backup band, the Imposters, in Memphis, Tenn., and Oxford, Miss. It will be released on Lost Highway Records.
The classical album, "Il Sogno," was recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra, with conductor Michael Tilson Thomas. The disc will be released on the Deutsche Grammophon label.

Reporters seek to cover Michael Jackson trial
ney for several news organizations asked a judge yesterday that reporters be allowed to cover court hearings involving the grand jury in the Michael Jackson case.
Attorney Ted Boutrous, representing The Associated Press, did not seek permission for reporters to sit in on proceedings by the grand jury, which began hearing witnesses in the case last week at a sheriff's department location closed to reporters and the public.
But Boutrous said reporters should be allowed to cover hearings related to the grand jury, including one Monday that was closed to the public. Boutrous said the hearing appeared to involve Bradley Miller, a private investigator hired to help Jackson, and noted that Miller's involvement in the case already has been publicly acknowledged.
LOS ANGELES — California lawmakers should work part-time so they can be more productive and less likely to write

"strange bills," Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger said.
"I want to make the Legislature a parttime Legislature," he told The Los Angeles
Schwarzenegger
Times on Tuesday while vacationing in Hawaii. "Spending so much time in Sacramento, without anything to do, then out of that comes strange bills."
The Republican governor did not elaborate on what he meant by strange bills and did not say how he would turn the Legislature into a part-time institution.
Calif. Gov speaks out to public about bills
California's Legislature began a year-round work schedule in 1966.
It is one of three full-time legislatures, along with Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Democratic lawmakers criticized Schwarzenegger's comments. "While I'm out here working...he's pontificating from Hawaii?" said Senate President Pro Tem John Burton.
To illustrate his point, Schwarzenegger borrowed from his acting days, saying filmmakers did their best work on tight deadlines.
"Give them a short period of time. Then good work gets done," he said. "That's when they start getting creative with things."

McCartneyspeaks out
Wife of ex-Beatle, auto accident victim creates awareness The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Heather Mills McCarney, wife of the former Beatle, said she would appear in public service ads without her prosthetic leg to provoke attention to the 1.2 million traffic deaths that occur worldwide each year.
McCartney's left leg was severed below the knee when she was hit by a police motorcycle in 1993. Nearly 20 years earlier, her mother had lost a leg in a traffic accident.
"It took one human error to take my leg and one human error to take my mother's," McCartney said Wednesday at a kickoff of the World Health Organization's yearlong focus on traffic safety.
safety. She said many traffic deaths and injuries could be prevented if nations would focus on improving safety.
"You really can fix this. It's just about more awareness," said McCartney, who married ex-Beastle Paul McCartney in June 2002.
The televised public service announcements featuring McCartney, a model who also works to help children maimed by war, will be broadcast worldwide this year.
The World Health Organization found that traffic crashes will kill 2.3 million people annually by 2020.
President Bush called road safety "a significant worldwide health issue" in a taped message played at the WHO gathering. He said increased use of seat belts, federal vehicle safety standards and enforcement of laws had helped reduce U.S. deaths.
World Bank Vice President David De Ferranti called traffic deaths "an unequal killer" because 90 percent occur in low or middle-income countries. In 2002, traffic crashes killed 28 out of every 100,000 people in Africa, compared to 14 out of every 100,000 in the United States.

A pirate's life for me:
Art, matey
For all you blustering swashbucklers looking to raise a ruckus tonight, snap on your peg leg and head on over to the Lied Center to see The Pirates of Penzance. This comical opera revolves around a man named Frederic who was accidentally apprenticed to a band of pirates. Upon his 21st year, Frederic is ecstatic that he will finally be able to escape the perils of being a pirate. The performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. and tickets can be purchased through the Lied Center by calling 864-3469. The cost for students is $21 and $42 for the public. The impressive MFA Graduate Series thesis exhibition opening for Anthony Pontius and Sean Lyman is your best bet tonight. Located in the in the Art and Design Gallery, 1467 Jayhawk Blvd., the paintings and drawings exhibited depict the human face and form, mixing traditional media with non-traditional techniques and imagery. The opening begins at 6 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m. This event is free to the public.

Just say it
Whether you know it or not, April is National Poetry Month. Those who feel like celebrating can go to the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., at 7 p.m. to celebrate the second anniversary of the Lawrence Poetry Series. Phil Miller and Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg will be the poets performing tonight. The Arts Center will be hosting other poets every Friday night throughout the month. If you like what you hear, come back to check out other Lawrence poets bust out their collected vernacular in various forms of poetry and spoken word. Cost has yet to be announced.

Don't give us any Guff
In the middle of a nationwide Go-Kart Records tour, Guff, will go back to its punk rock roots and play in the basement of house venue, the Kremlin, 620 Missouri St. Since 2000, the Athens, Ga. band has toured the nation, sharing the stage with the likes of Flogging Molly and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. The trio has played 500 shows. Opening for Guff is local rockers the Brighton Line and the Monarch Song. This show is all ages and a donation is expected for the touring band.
Forget the Easter Baskets and hidden eggs, because the Royals are good again. Today, you can catch a Royals' game at Kaufman Stadium at 1:10 p.m. The boys in blue play the division rival, the Cleveland Indians. Even if you aren't into baseball this is a great chance to boo the Indians un-P.C. mascot Chief Wahoo. You can even make it a family bonding day by bringing your kid brother, sister or just your kid (hey, it happens to the best of us) because kids eat free. Kids 14 and under receive a coupon for a free hot dog and small Pepsi in addition to a free Angel Berrora batting helmet Easter basket. What doesn't symbolize the resurrection of Christ better than the 2003 American League Rookie of the Year's protective head gear? Stick around after the game and make the kids run the bases. They're more likely to fall asleep on the car ride home that way.

Want to meet up somewhere and chat about your interests? Check out www.meetup.com to see what's going on in your area of interest. Today, for instance, budding book reviewers, Diabetes patients and polyamorists all are meeting up somewhere in Lawrence. Unfortunately, local neck biters will have to wait 'till the 20th to exchange pints — that's the vampire meet up day. There's a category for everyone, even banjo pickers. To meet up with a group, simply sign up — don't worry, no credit card exchange necessary — and vote on the venue that you'd most like to go to for the get together. Polyamorists, for example, can vote to discuss the joys of having multiple partners at Java Break, Applebee's or Johnny's Tavern. When the voting is over, the secret location is revealed. Then go and get your subculture on.

Hump day, punk day
Like every Wednesday night, the new Gaslight Tavern brings you the rare chance to experience punk rock through turntables. DJ Mica will spin solid punk cuts for a night of music rebellion and smoke-free chatting. The Gaslight fits 40 people inside and many more on the patio, so make sure you come early if you want to sit in the lounge section in front of the stage. The event is 21 and over. The Gaslight is located across the river on Locust Street next to Johnny's Tavern. Get a sneak peek of the Gaslight on page 12.

Amateur filmmaking has exploded in popularity with the advent of Web sites that feature short movies
By Cal Creek, Jayplay writer
Photo File Edit View Ca Window 40h

Dan Ryckert clicks away at his keyboard, while onscreen, President James Monroe travels back in time and becomes addicted to heroin. Ryckert laughs quietly as a group of students behind him giggle. The students are laughing at Ryckert's 15-minute opus, The Monroe Factor, a short comedy he made. They're able to watch it thanks to the internet.
Ryckert, an Olathe sophomore, showcases all of his films on www.studentfilms.com. He is one of millions of student and amateur filmmakers that have found an audience thanks to the Internet.
"The Internet has blown open so many doors, I don't know what I'd do if the Internet didn't exist," Ryckert says. The young filmmaker has posted his short films online for the past two years. He has always used studentfilms.com.
Chris Wright created studentfilms.com in August 1998. The site now features 600 films. Wright created the site so students could show their films to people who would never see them. "It has certainly made it a lot easier to get your work out there to be seen. Before the Internet, for example, when I used to make films as a kid the only people that ever saw the films were my parents and my friends," Wright says. Studentfilms.com takes any and all submissions, as long as the movies don't contain NC-17 (or worse) content.
To submit movies, filmmakers such as Ryckert, must fill out a submission form on the Web site and send that with a VHS tape of the the film, as well as one
dollar per minute of video tape. There is a $10 minimum.
The Web site allows people to review the filmmaker's work as well. Ryckert has received feedback that ranged from people calling him the next Wes Anderson to reviewers who thought his movies were the most boring 12 minutes of their lives.
Photo illustration: Dan Padavic and Jeff Brandsted
Another Web site that helps filmmakers get their films out to the public is www.ifilm.com. The site features a wide variety of content ranging from amateur short films to Super Bowl commercials.
Posting a film on the Web site gives the movie another life and keeps it off the shelf says John Halecky, short film programmer for ifilm.com. In its five years of existence there have been 10,000 clips featured on ifilm. Their most popular movie, right now, is 405, a three minute film chronicling a jet crash-landing on a Los Angeles freeway. The film has been viewed more than
"Before the Internet... the only people that ever saw the films were my parents and my friends,"
4 million times. Halecky says it is the most viewed movie on the Internet to date.
Anyone can submit a movie, as long as he or she goes through the registration process posted on the site. The entire process is free, but the filmmakers pay for the postage it costs to submit a VHS copy of their film. And the movie can't be more than 30 minutes long. Ifilm.com allows all kinds of content because it isn't regulated by the FCC.
One success story from ifilm is that of Jonathan Liebesman. Liebesman had a film he directed available on ifilm.com, Genesis and Catastrophe. The look, style and popularity of the film helped Liebesman earn a job as a
director of a big budget studio film, Darkness Falls.
Not only are Web sites hosting films and film reviews, they are now hosting film festivals. An estimated 600,000 people visited the Sundance Online Film Festival in 2003, far surpassing the actual festival in Park City, Utah.
While the growing Internet film industry might seem perfect, even its supporters have noticed a few disadvantages to making their films available online. Ryckert says the Internet can be a double-edged sword because there is no standard for submission or quality control on sites such as student-
films.com. Halecky says problems can arise when filmmakers submit a film to a Web site and a film festival at the same time. Many festivals want to be the first to show the movie. If a film is available on the Internet, it hurts its premiere standing. This can cause tension
between filmmakers and film festivals.
As the Internet expands the film industry, the possibilities expand as well. Some, like Wright, see the Internet becoming a learning resource, a tool where filmmakers can learn from each other. Others, like Halecky, say the Internet will grow in its entertainment capabilities, and before long people will be going online to watch feature length movies, not just shorts.

Not Lovin'It
Lawrence McDonald's customers weigh in on the fast-food restaurant's decision to nix its Super Size menu.
By Marissa Stephenson, Jayplay writer
"Ninety-eight, ninety-nine...those two look like halfizes...and we've got one hundred." Wiping grease and salt off my fingers, I record my last Super-Size result and reach into the pile to graze on golden, crispy fries.
At McDonald's, 3241 Iowa St., I have three Super Size fries and three large fries spread over a brown tray post Super-counting. Lunching truckers and soccer moms with bug-eyed children stare and a young boy asks, "Are you really gonna eat all those?"
The March 4 announcement that McDonald's will phase out their Super Size menu by Dec. 31st, 2004 made me wonder the difference between Super and plain large. After 15 minutes of counting $11 of fries, my boyfriend, Brett — there to help with fry consumption — and I have our under whelming answer about 10 fries. Averaged, the large was 90 fries, and even counting the annoyingly small bottom-dwellers, the Super Size was 100. (Which, if you're going by the American Heritage Dictionary definition of "super" superior in size, number, quality or degree — this size is none to super from the start) I manage to clear almost half of our fry order. Reaching for my umpteenth One Last Fry, Brett grabs my wrist and says, "Stop. No more. You have to stop eating the fries."
The McDonald's Cocorporation's decision to eliminate the Super Size menu will force many customers to look elsewhere for large quantities of fries. Ryan Gillian, Chicago junior and ex-McDonald's employee, vouches for the popularity of the Super Size. "It was insane how many people Super Sized. The huge guys in the vans and construction workers, but lots of average people too." McDonald's says slimming down its menu promotes a balanced, healthier lifestyle. But die-hards of the 42 oz beverage and the 7 oz. Super Size fry say they'll just order more or go elsewhere.
At McDonald's, 901 W 23rd St., signs read, "Just Say 'Super Size' Itl" and feature sparkling brown liquid pouring out of a jumbo cup next to the famous
Ron Horton's reaction is disgust. The Wichita freshman, who always Super-Sizes, says now he'll have to go to Burger King or Wendy's to get his usual amount of food. "It's all about choices, and people don't want a restriction on what they can do," Horton says. A November 2000 National Restaurant Association poll backs Horton up. The Association reports that 95 percent of Americans feel qualified to order as they like when dining out and two thirds are tired of hearing what foods are good or bad for them. Burger King and Wendy's corporate headquarters say they have no plans to take away the King Size and Biggie Size, their Super Size equivalents. Horton says if he does go back to McDonald's, he'll probably order chicken nuggets to bulk up his formally super-meal.
fries. While I'm waiting to speak to Patrick Manning, marketing supervisor for Lawrence McDonald's, the family in front of me Super Sizes their value meals, a choice they won't have for long. Manning says besides the New Year's Eve deadline, there's no word on when the heartland region will "turn over". He says McDonald's wanted to announce the phase-out later in the year, but the press leaked it early.
The Super Size menu got a satirical slant when Morgan Spurlocks's documentary Super Size Me screened at the Sundance Film Festival this year. Spurlock chronicled himself eating only McDonald's food — even water had to come from over a McD's counter — three times a day, for one month. The results: liver failure, heart palpitations, an extra 25 lbs and a nasty press wave for America's fast-food giant. Manning says McDonald's makes food decisions two years in advance, so the menu change couldn't be a reaction to the movie.
This reaction is typical, says Marty Glenn, lecturer
"From the reactions I've heard, customers were surprisingly upset," Manning says. He added that the idea to remove the Super Size didn't come from customer requests. "It's all part of our healthier lifestyle change — and it's a permanent change."
in nutrition and health at the University of Kansas. Glenn says Super Sizers could feel cheated,even by a few ounces and a handful of fries. "It's partly psychological people think they're not as full and will order more to compensate. It's hard to predict how many people will benefit from this change."
For now, at McDonald's, 1309 W 6th St., the "Just Say 'Super Size'!" sign sits beside the "New Premium Salads" sign. Manning says phasing out super-sizing will effect sales, but he hopes items like the new salads will balance it out.
If customers aren't lured to competing fast-food restaurants, McDonald's could benefit says Adam McAdoo, Wichita freshman and frequent Super Sizer. "McDonald's got people accustomed to larger sizes at value prices, and now they're taking them away so we'll order more." McAdoo says he'd be likely to order a hot apple pie if he couldn't Super Size.
It's a healthy hope just as long as the restraunt's new Super Sizeless image doesn't go the way of the McLean.

Sick of old-fashioned dating?
Now there are more ways to meet your mate
Illustration: Zach Newton
by Lindsay Kiliper and Brant Stacy, Jayplay writers
A year ago when Danny Sterling walked into a bar, he wasn't sure which girls were single and which girls were attached. He used to waste 30 minutes wooing a potential date, just to find out that she had a boyfriend. This weekly routine of wasted attempts at finding a date was frustrating for him. That's why Sterling decided to stay out of the bars and stay at home to try dating online.
Online dating has recently increased in popularity as more people prefer to meet their mates on their own schedule rather than wasting their time and money at a bar, according to an article by Katie Morris from letsmeetup.com. Whether you're hoping to find a romantic partner or purely seeking a friendship, online dating can be an easy and convenient way to find that special someone.
Many first timers may be nervous to stray away from conventional dating. Heather Karlin, KU alumna, began using online dating after she graduated because the bar scene was no longer a feasible way to meet a significant other. She was skeptical about meeting people online, but felt more comfortable after some of her friends introduced her to Jdate.com, a dating service for Jewish people. After several months using this Web site, Karlin established a long distance relationship with a man from Philadelphia, who is now her boyfriend. At first it was embarrassing because she thought online dating was cheesy, but she gave it a chance. "It's after you get into it that you can tailor it to your own preferences and know exactly who you are talking to," Karlin says. She thinks online dating can be successful depending on how much time a person wants to put into it.
While some users hope to find romance, others use online dating as a way to make friends outside of Lawrence. Sterling, Arlington Heights, Ill., senior, first began exploring online dating with the intention of hooking up, but now realizes that the remaining month until graduation is not enough time to begin a serious relationship. "Online dating actually takes up a lot of time," Sterling says. "It's sort of like regular dating: You have to put in the effort." He plans to move to California after he graduates and is currently using online dating to develop friendships before his move.
With a variety of dating services to choose from, each offering different benefits and prices, both Sterling and Karlin have found Match.com and Jdate.com to be the most beneficial. Membership for both sites costs around $20 dollars a month. These sites, along with other online services, allow you to post your picture and a personal profile, while also giving you the opportunity to take personality quizzes that help narrow your search for a compatible mate.
Though some enjoy the benefits of online dating, others still think old fashioned dating is the way to success. Dr. John Wade, psychologist for KU counseling and psychological services, suggests the best way to meet people is through shared activities such as clubs, class and meetings. After exploring these options, Wade suggests cautiously trying online dating, "I think for some people it's easier to be open and honest when they are anonymous," he says. "The disadvantage is you have no idea whether the other person is being completely honest."
way them imper- to-face dating. "If make it work," Karlin says.

Q
(Advice like Grammar used to give)
I had a one-night stand last weekend, and it was awesome. The guy was great in bed, and we had a great time. We even ate cereal together the next morning. Well, I called him to see if he wanted to go out again and realized he gave me a fake number! Is that normal?
Jackie, Senior
a
Chris: If by "normal" you mean "the coolest thing I've ever heard" than yeah, it's pretty normal.
Q
Elizabeth: Chris! Shame on you! That's definitely not the coolest thing that I've ever heard. Take the experience as a learning lesson so that you don't set yourself up in the same predicament again.
My boyfriend has been acting really strange recently and I think he's sleeping around. How can I know for sure?
Liz, Sophomore
a
Chris: Has he recently wanted to have sex with you less often? If so, he's probably worn out from banging your best friend.
Elizabeth: Chris, that's horrendous. Just ask him point-blank and see what he says. Then you'll be able tell what's going on with him. If you are suspicious, make sure that you aren't just being paranoid. Really try to look at the reasons why you feel that way. It's never healthy to distrust someone solely based upon your unfounded suspicion. On the other hand, if he is cheating, you deserve to know the truth.
Q
There's this girl I've wanted to ask out for a while. What's a cool first date?
— Jake, Freshman

If you have burning questions, don't wait 'till they're flaming. Write to bitchr@kansan.com and we'll try to soothe the flare up.
Chris: You don't want to do anything too formal at first, so try to get her friends to meet your friends at the bar. She'll like it because her friends will be able to size you up. And if her friends like you, you're money. So don't ruin your chances by getting obliterated. But be yourself and buy a few rounds of shots so they'll see how fun you are. Basically get everyone wasted.
HERISEN
Elizabeth: You might want to ask her what she wants to do and then just take it from there. Then pay attention to what she says she likes and plan accordingly.

Sleazy women, a bar fight and cheap booze are just part of This Building Is Cursed’s Southern-fried rock ‘n’ roll adventure
On that note, TBIC, who are all in their early 20s, finishes its beers, says farewell and hightail it out of P
By Neil Mulka, Jayplay writer
Chris Miller, J.C. Cerise and Matt Tobin, guitarists of Lawrence metal band This Building Is Cursed, are such rock stars they don't have to play their own songs to attract groupies. They get them doing karaoke.
After a few rounds of dollar canned domestic beers, the boys in TBIC are singing Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice," Alan Jackson's "Hoochie-Cootchie" and Adam Sandler's "At A Medium Pace," instead of its own songs for all 20 people who showed up for karaoke night. Out of the crowd, a woman smelling of spiced rum and cheap perfume rubs her thunder thighs all over Joe and Chris. As she shakes her flavor of milkshake, her hands move all over their bodies — up the shirt, down the pants and into the no-no areas. Safely away from the stage, bassist Dylan Desmond and drummer Joe Noel, accidentally douse themselves in beer from laughing uncontrollably at their bandmate's misfortune. When the songs are done, the trio sits down, the dancing woman, who refers to herself as "the Jewel of Arkansas" and her friend, Blaze, a chain-smoking, Bud Light-drinking pregnant woman, following. "Ya know," Jewel says, in her phone sex voice, "just because I'm 38 years old and have five kids doesn't mean I can't be feisty with you twentysomethings. Where y'all from? You ain't from here."
On its second tour in its two years together, TBIC is drinking at Boogies, the most banging place in Hot Springs, Ark. Because liquor stores are closed on Sunday, the booze-hungry band goes to Boogies on the recommendation from locals for a good time in the boring boyhood home of Bill Clinton. Being a town in the middle of Nowhere, Arkansas, did they ever luck out.
1.
"Man, J.C., you could have had a warm bed to sleep in tonight if you talked to Jewel some more." Matt says as they go away from Boogies on the Short Bus, an old school bus complete with stop sign, swinging doors and lights. Joe bought the bus from his old band, Short Bus Kids, for $1,250 and it's now an icon of Lawrence music, used by bands like Salt the Earth, Getaway Driver and Flattery Leads to Ruin.
"That woman probably has as many diseases as kids," Joe interlects.
"Hey," J.C. says lighting up a cigarette, "what happens on tour —" A pause, a puff. Everyone expects him to say the cliché 'stays on tour.' "Gets taken home and shared with the girlfriend."
If everything has to be shared with the girlfriends back home, TBIC has to share more than just a booty-shaking rhinestone from Arkansas.
---
Saturday, March 17, Little Rock, Ark.
"The heaviest bands and cheapest beers in town," is the motto of Downtown Music, TBIC's first stop on its seven-day tour. It's a motto that the venue lives up to: a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon is a dollar and all draws a $1.50. The bar's construction looks like a high-school woodshop project and the beer is in an old, beat-up family style fridge. The concert calendar is full of metal and Southern-style rock 'n' roll bands like Little Rock group Crackfight and Lawrence's own Filthy Jim.
TBIC plays second in tonight's lineup after Oklahoma band Fumar (who announces to the crowd that the shape of Oklahoma is the ax chopping off the head of Texas and the Red River is the blood pouring out) and the local acts. Before the show, the band filters in and out of the club and the Short Bus. On the Short Bus a bottle of Heaven Hill is passed around, a $7 liter of whiskey that is as divine tasting as turpentine-mixed urine and brown food coloring. As some members float on the whiskey cloud, J.C. climbs onto the bus and announces that he has changed his "tampon" in the club's restroom, a code word for smoking marijuana and using the bathroom at the same time.
After a sound check, TBIC begins its 30-minute set to a nearly empty room and fills the venue with its instrumental metal sound. A unique aspect of the band is that it has no vocalist. After months of auditioning vocalists, none fit with TBIC's sound. The absence of lyrics is now one of the band's musical trademarks. All band members hate to classify what their sound is because it's restricting creatively. But Chris describes the music as a melting pot of ideas, or, as Joe puts it, "It's basically a bunch of guys who can't decide what type of metal they like."
Whatever it is, by the end of the set all of the people milling around the back of the venue are in front of the stage, some pumping fists, others hypnotized and a few adventurous souls head-banging in front of the 12-foot-tall public announcement speakers pushing ear drums and brain cells to the limit — truly a small, but enthusiastic crowd. Pleased with the performance, the TBIC guys sit in the bus relaxing with alcohol, marijuana and snacks. Tonight they were tight and the soundman made them sound like a CD. "I think I felt Satan," Chris says, making fun of the stereotype that metal musicians worship Satan. "It's always good to feel a little Satan when you play." Before the band takes off to a friend's house to crash, a scraggly homeless man taps on a passenger window of the Short Bus. Through the open window he offers a dog leash for a lighter. After the transaction, the old man offers TBIC some advice. "Don't go there, ever," says the old man, pointing to the venue they just played. "They a bunch of rednecks in there."

day 3
Monday, March 19, Shreveport, La. Joe is refueling the Short Bus at a gas station in the small town of Hope, Ark. A rusted-out gray Cadillac pulls up to the fuel pump next to the Short Bus. A middle-aged African-American woman comes out of the car and looks at Joe. "Aren't you the singer for the Ataris?" she asks. For a second Joe doesn't know what to say. Being tattooed and wearing an AFI T-shirt, 'tattered dark blue jeans and sunglasses, Joe could be a rock star, but it's doubtful that Kris Roe (vocalist for the Ataris) would be pumping gas for his own tour bus with a couple of gold records to his credit. Joe nods and tells the woman that the band is on its way to play a show at Shreveport that night. After fueling her car the woman wishes him good luck and drives off.
Living in the Midwest can shelter people from the finer things in life, for example, the drive-through daiquiri stand. A few blocks down the street from tonight's venue, 'Lil Joe's Taverne, a small building resembling Burrito King, sits between a Chinese restaurant and a drug store. A giant sign with bright pink letters glows the words "Cajun Cocktails" on a dark blue background, beckoning passing cars to pull up to the drive-through window and purchase its frozen, alcoholic goodies ranging from margaritas to the Cajun Curse — a concoction made of Bacardi 151, Everclear, margarita mix and crawdad juice. Inside the roadside shack two attendants work busily, filling up 16-ounce cups from Slurpee machines for drivers to take home and drink, taping down the straw to make it a legally unopened container. The asking price of $2.50 is a little steep for a band on the road trying to save money, but luckily it's the 2-for-1 happy hour special.
"You're in This Building Is Christ, right?" A bartender wearing khakis and a Hawaiian shirt asks Chris as he fills him a pitcher of free band beer. Chris corrects him and the bartender apologizes, saying that's the name someone else told him, despite a flier with the correct name inches from his face. But what can one expect from a bar with the slogan: "Drink to get drunk, or not at all." The misspelling of TBIC's name occurs often. Names such as This Place is Haunted or This Body Is For Christ pop up on fliers
In the hours leading up to tonight's show Chris calls his parents and updates them on the tour. His parents worry about him if he doesn't call to reassure them that he is still alive and isn't in jail. Matt doesn't have to worry about letting his parents know what's going on. His older brother toured regularly with his band, Stick. "He went on tour for six months once," Matt says, "and when he came back my mother about flipped the fuck out because he was really skinny. He lived off of mostly pizza and Rolling Rock."
while on tour.
The band got its name after reading a High Times article on a French cathedral dedicated to Mary Magdalene. Unlike other cathedrals, this church has underpinnings: non-Biblical portrayals of the stations of the cross are painted on the walls and a bird's eye view of the buildings around the church makes the form of a Pentagram. On the doorway of the main building the words "this place is cursed" appear.
Unlike all the other shows on this tour, 'Lil Joe's Taverne does not have a PA system or a sound guy to make the music clearer, but that isn't a problem. A 40-person crowd fills the floor in this tiny club and all eyes are on TBIC, "You guys are shaking my bones!" yells a drunken man from the bar after the third song. "If I was a chick I'd give yall blowjobs." A woman from elsewhere in the room yells to him that he doesn't need to be a female to give fellatio if he likes the music. "I know, but I ain't a fag, en gay or whatever. Imagine I'd might bite it off." The man moves closer to the stage, and cheers. Along with another half dozen people, he buys a $6 CD. Much needed gas money to get to the next destination: New Orleans.
day
day 4
Wednesday, March 20 New Orleans Somewhere between god-awful and atrocious is the gutter punk rock
band The Simple Fucks, the kind of band who wears eponymous T-shirts and sport Flock of Seagulls style reverse mohawks. Playing to a crowd of about 10 people, the four-piece band cranks out distorted, sloppy, three-chord punk rock that only a loaded methead could love in the Dixie Taverne, a venue where Chuck Berry played in the 50s. More than a half-century later, the Dixie Taverne smells vaguely of urine and the black-and-white checkered linoleum floor looks as if it hasn't been mopped since legendary punk pioneer Johnny Thunders died in New Orleans 13 years ago.
After SF's short set, TBIC tries to load its equipment during what could be a taping of Cops. The guitarist for The Simple Fucks attacks the singer of his own band because he "doesn't want to play second fiddle to his drunken standup routine." After a few swings and some grappling on the sidewalk, a cop car rolls up and two giant cops peel feuding punks off each other. "Oh, Mr. Officer," says a skinny woman in torn clothes and spiked hair, "don't arrest them, they do this because they love each other. They're roommates, too."
Hours before the show, Chris, Joe and Matt are at Big Daddy's Bottomless & Topless sipping on hurricanes and watching Cat, a full-figured stripper whose talent is sliding dollar bills in and out of one of her orifices without her hands. While all of the other patrons — overweight, sweaty and middle-aged men — hoot and holler, the trio is disappointed. It's hard to enjoy a stripper when you have

girlfriends at home who are hotter than she is. They duck out of the bar for the dollar beer stands, the occasional flashing breasts, a hash-dealing hippie couple at the Canal and Bourbon Streets bus stop, and drunken gambling until sunrise. Reeking of booze and barely conscious, Chris and Joe ride the Canal Street bus back to the house they are couch surfing, sharing seats with people waking up to face the workday.

Thursday, March 21,
Houston.
"Excuse me,
but are y'all from
that Jackass show?" A woman in a Wendy's uniform asks TBIC as they munch down Subway sandwiches. "I couldn't help but notice that school bus in the parking lot." Another day, another mistaken identity; this time at a truck stop featuring a Subway/Wendy's hybrid. The band members chortle and tell the lady that they are a touring band heading to Houston to play Mary Jane's Fat Cat.
Mary Jane's Fat Cat can be mistaken for the bigger brother of the Dixie Taverne: dirty linoleum floor with the same pattern and the same faint smell of pee lingering in the air. This venue shares a building with a liquor store where Chris buys a bottle of Thunderbird, one of the infamous "bum" wines that is 18 percent alcohol. This "wine" is the color of urine and smells like rubbing alcohol, but at
$3.30 it's the perfect choice for a man who blew it all at a late-night visit to the casino. Chris isn't the only one running low on cash: Dylan's dinner consists of beanand-salsa tacos made with ingredients from a grocery store a block down the street. He ate about six tacos for $2.50.

day 7
While personal finances are its nadir, band money is keeping up with the price of putting fuel into the gas-guzzling Short Bus. Making at least $50 a night keeps the bus full and moving from town to town. Tonight TBIC shares the bill with a local favorite, Pretty Little Flower, a band it met in Lawrence. Here TBIC scores its biggest show pay-off: $120 with an extra $50 from merchandise. The band needs it for gas for the 589-mile trip from Houston to Oklahoma City.
Friday, March 22
Oklahoma City.
Joe and Matt sit
in the Short Bus
parked behind tonight's venue, the Conservatory, one of Oklahoma City's biggest rock clubs. They are staring blankly into space, eyes dull. Today was a long eight-hour drive at the end of a long week, and tonight they face a long drive home in the middle of a thunderstorm. Despite
weariness from not showering, eating crappy food and the boredom of driving, a part of them wants to stay on the road, play more shows and not go back to Lawrence where responsibilities such as school and work loom. Still, something calls them home: sleeping in their beds. After seven days of sleeping on floors, couches and the bus in positions only a toy soldier would find comfortable nothing sounds sweeter.
TBIC has played Oklahoma City three times and it looks forward to tonight's show. In its last tour in August, the band played in front of dozens of naked Okies at a makeshift music festival. Gracing the stage with TBIC tonight is Oklahoma City favorite, the Roustabouts, a band that has played Lawrence several times and has shared line-ups with TBIC before. It's a Friday and TBIC knows a big crowd is coming tonight, perhaps the biggest all week.
The doors to the Conservatory open at 9 p.m. and a crowd slowly filters into the club. TBIC mingles with people it knew from the previous Oklahoma City shows and swaps stories of the road with Sea of Thousand, an Austin, Texas band whose van's brakes gave out earlier while cruising down the highway, thankfully coasting into the safety of a gas station parking lot. This story sounds hauntingly like TBIC's situation the past couple of days
— the brakepads of the Short Bus are wearing, making it harder to stop.
After the second band TBIC plays its set one last time in front of 100 people. The band plays flawlessly to a moving and impressed audience."This band is bad-ass!" a woman holding a can of Lost Lake beer yells to a friend nearby. He can't hear her; the man is pumping his fist worrying only about the music. For band and music lovers, bills, jobs or school will have to wait until tomorrow.
"Hey, didn't you used to be in the Short Bus Kids?" a tattooed woman on a vintage pink and blue Schwin bicycle asks Joe as he pushes a guitar cabinet across a street after a show in Lafayette, La. With a quick smile, he tells her that SBK is his old band and tells her about TBIC. "Oh, cool," she replies, "I saw Short Bus Kids a couple years ago when I was living in Detroit." She sees a friend and rides away.
Finally, recognition, even if it is from his first band that doesn't play anymore. Maybe on its next tour people will know who This Building Is Cursed really is.

Hot to trot for Happy Trails
Treading rustic Kansas on horseback

MILKY WATER TOWER

"the sun setting but still beating on us like a campfire with no flames"
It sounded like a marching band blaring in a parade. Quack, quack—ducks droned like trumpets and trombones. The feud among the roosters resonated like saxophones as I stepped out of my car and into the air of a warm afternoon in rural Kansas. I knew by the ambience of the farm animals wailing like instruments that my experience saddling up on the horses of Happy Trails would be a memorable ride.
For the past couple years, Tracy Keller has been a trail guide for Happy Trails, which she manages from her home in Auburn, 15 minutes southwest of Topeka. She has six horses in her barn and three ponies. She also has ducks, a couple peacocks, three dogs, chickens, roosters, guineas and a goat. In addition to being a trail guide, Keller treats injured horses. She buys or borrows horses and treats them from home, usually calling a veterinarian to her house for extreme cases. "It's starting to become a retirement home for horses here," she says.
---
Keller chaperones people one-hour rides during the weekends, which are $35, and longer rides that can last between two and three hours for $45. Trail guiding is a side quest for Keller. She uses the revenue from the rides to handle the costs to fix and upkeep the horses. She also works as a cook at a nearby high school. Keller has taken people as young as 7 and as old as 80 on the trails near her home that she knows as well as the back of her hand. She says she rarely gets repeat riders because people regard horseback riding as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. "You're either born to have a propensity to love horses or you don't," she says.
Keller arranged for me to ride Stormy, a black, 28-year-old Tennessee Walker. Tennessee Walkers typically have a quicker gait than other horses. Despite being 28, Stormy was truly no exception, as the horse consistently attempted to take the lead during our ride. Keller mounted Annie, a 20-year-old Morgan mare, and her friend Felicia Leary, who's training to
become a trail guide, rode Brandy, the gelding horse.
Riding a horse is similar to driving a car. The reins, like a steering wheel, are pulled left or right depending on the direction a horse needs to go. Getting a horse to start walking is
analogous to pressing a gas pedal. Applying a little pressure on the horse's side with the back of your heals is sufficient. The occasional click- click spoken to the horse also works.
We took off east away from a soon setting sun, the undulating plains still golden from a warm March afternoon. The horses treaded at a comfortable pace while Keller pointed out the scenery and wildlife and her dog Ozzie followed us closely. We continued to meander around the plains alternating from walk and trot, taking advantage of an unusually warm winter day. When we weren't talking, all I could hear was the music of the horses blazing the trail, a sweet rhythm of Stormy's hooves galumphing on the moist ground and the bells on her saddle straps chiming at every stride. Pants from Ozzie could be heard faintly in the background as he plodded to keep up with the horses.
The end of the ride neared as we turned toward the sunlight and back to Keller's house, the sun setting but still beating on us like a campfire with no flames, embers simmering to their ends. We continued to trot, Stormy still pulling on the reins, desperately wanting to gallop. I held him back as the ride ended and the horses cooled off. Like cowboys, we marched into the sunset.

Intimate Music
Fitting only 39 people, including the band, the Gaslight Tavern is as intimate as you can get.
By Carlos Centeno, Jayplay writer

As soon as you walk into the Gaslight, an eclectic atmosphere engulfs your senses. African and Asian statues guard the hallway while the intensity of red walls reflects the soul of this little bar at 317 N. Second St., across the bridge from Massachusetts Street.
A local songwriter sings to a group of about 20 people gathered around the tiny stage, which is lit by a giant chandelier that embraces everyone in the audience with its shadows and bright brushstrokes of light.
The Gaslight has a maximum capacity of 39 people. But what the Gaslight Tavern lacks in space it makes up in intimacy. "It almost feels like you're in someone's basement," says Lindsey Hogan, Overland Park senior. When the guitars scream and the turntables spin, the music becomes a personal experience, not just some DJ in the background. "If you have five or six friends come down you can almost have the bar," says Gaslight co-owner Doozie Midyett.
Midyett started the Gaslight with Jeff
Wiley started the Gusight With Jen Fortier, a local music promoter. Fortier has been
Kansas companies in Lawrence and eclectic that people would have their own night most music genres get a day of the week and a fan base: from with jam bands, to reggae and a do-wop night with DJ Fat Sal. There's even a night where a DJ spins punk.
The idea for the bar is based on the old Gaslight Tavern that was in Lawrence during the late '60s. The old bar was a gathering point for Vietnam War protestors and civil rights advocates. It was shut down in 1972 by the state's attorney general and never reopened.
The new Gaslight has no direct relation with the previous one but Midyett and Fortier decided to pay tribute to it by hanging a photo gallery on the walls displaying the events that took place around the old bar. There is a little room with an Asian statue that will become the tribute room. It will feature articles and photographs from the old bar. If you ask the bartender about the history of the bar, he will pull out a red book detailing the history of Kansas and the civil rights movement at the time.
Nonetheless, this Gaslight is not about protests. It's about music and its power to bring people together.
On Sunday nights, DJ Koncept does a mix of old soul and doo-wop. He says he likes the intimacy of the place. He says people usually stay in for a while then step out on the patio and have a smoke (the Gaslight is a smoke-free bar), that's how the place can keep up with more than 40 people.
Midyett says the Gaslight will change in late April when the back window of the bar is created and the bar becomes an indoor/outdoor venue with a PA system outside. She says by then they'll be able to fit about 120 people.
The bar opened about a month ago and the word of mouth is already spreading every time Free State Brewery, 636 Massachusetts St., closes on Mondays. Some of the Free State people stay around Massachusetts Street and try to catch a ride across the bridge to the Gaslight to enjoy the "Gaslight Players" night: a night of jam bands and singer-songwriters.
Brett Ramey came to "Gaslight Players" night after drinking at Free State because he likes the vibe it transmits and its resemblance to the old Gaslight Tavern. Even though Ramey was not around in the '60s, he says he digs the tribute because it gives the bar its spirit.
It's almost time to close and a few souls remain on the chairs chatting and laughing. It has been another night at the Gaslight and as soon as these people go home, they'll realize their homes are not very different from the Gaslight Tavern.

Nellie McKay Get Away From Me
Folks don't know what to say about Nellie McKay, but she seems to like it that way. She has no problem speaking for herself. At 19, she already has lots to say. She, like her music, is an effervescent well of thought, creativity and charm. She is as skilled a pop pianist as they come.
Regardless of what the title may suggest, her debut, Get Away From Me, is extraordinarily friendly and welcoming. Melodies dominate to the point were one can (and will want to) whistle every song. McKay has quite a gift for songwriting too. She performs in the Norah Jones-style of vocal jazz, but her lyrics at times, tease with the sarcasm, dark humor and wit of the Pharcyde or A Tribe Called Quest. Add all that to her pro-people/proanimal politics, and McKay emerges as quite an impressive artistic force. Her refreshingly simple brilliance speaks for itself.

Liars They Were Wrong, So We Drowned
People who are familiar with the Liars first album, but not their intermittent EPs, might be a bit surprised with their sound here. Two members fewer since their first effort, They Were Wrong does not aim to make people thoughtfully shake ass, but rather create songs that if a scratch-and-hear dictionary existed could well represent "atmospheric" and "creepy". Recorded in singer Angus Andrew's basement at his house in New Jersey, They Were Wrong explores the myths and folklore of witchcraft and the tragedy of witch-hunts. Creative and unique, the Liars have cemented their reputation as one of the most exciting groups making music today.

Deerhoof Milk Man
Ever wonder what a rainbow would sound like if it was played through a Casio keyboard and sung by a Japanese schoolgirl? Me neither. After the great masterpiece/colorful car accident that was Apple O, this record comes off as an anime version of Blonde Redhead or a kung-fu grip Black Heart Procession but without the accessories. Deerhoof is always in the neighborhood of offbeat quirk-pop and this is a fine representation of the genre. I think the record focuses too much on the chaotic nature of sound instead of putting sounds into a system of pop that seemed fine-tuned on Apple O and some of their previous efforts.

The Skinny On Being Skinny
By Marissa Heffley, Jayplay writer
SD '04
Illustration: Scott Drummond
"Your friend needs to eat a cheeseburger," the random girl at the bar slurred to my roommate as she tried to focus her eyes on me. My roommate, equally intoxicated, bent over laughing. I felt my face burn and counted down the minutes before last call. I knew I would be spending the rest of the night imagining that every person in the bar was thinking I was too skinny.
If real women have curves, I'm as fake as they come. Being 5 foot-7 and 110 isn't the blissful life some girls might assume. My weight attracts a lot of negative attention. No one ever would go up to an overweight person and tell them they need to lose weight. But people never waste time telling me how they find my weight completely unnatural. I'm described as "the skinny girl." My roommate's boyfriend insists that I'm either anorexic or bulimic. My friends confess that before they witnessed my eating habits, they too wondered if I had an eating disorder. Apparently someone my size can't possibly be healthy.
I do not have an eating disorder, but inherited my small frame from my parents. My mom and dad were both 120 pounds when they graduated from The University of Kansas. Last Christmas my parents framed one of my favorite pictures of our family from the late 60's. My uncles are tall and thin. My aunt, though only about 8, looks underfed. My parents look way too scrawny. Even my grandparents could have afforded to gain a few pounds.
My family may be blessed with high metabolism, but it is cursed with high cholesterol. I grew up in a virtually fat-free household. Once I got off my parent's cholesterol battling diet and came to college, I binged on ghastly amounts of unhealthy foods. My intention was to gain 10 pounds. The first time I tried my new "diet" I actually lost weight. The second time my cholesterol elevated to above normal levels. Defeated, I went back to the healthier foods with which I'd been raised.
But last Christmas I decided to try and save money for presents by eating cheap fatty food. I wiggled into my favorite pair of
jeans and found I could no longer button them. For the first time since I outgrew children sizes, I didn't wear a size 0. My immediate response was panic, followed by disbelief.
I suddenly began to hear a little voice in my head telling me to lose weight
Of course I was still skinny, but I suddenly began to hear a little voice in my head telling me to lose weight. It took several days to confess my growing pooch of a stomach to my roommate. She laughed and rolled her eyes, a completely reasonable response. How could I complain? I finally had gained the weight I'd always wanted.
I imagined my life without people telling me I'm too skinny. Was the criticism that bad? Sure, I felt boyish and gangly at times, but I'd grown accustomed to it. Not being able to button my pants was strange.
Obsessing about my weight made me notice more how much my girl friends
and roommates made disparaging comments about their own bodies. Whether one of my roommates was complaining about her chubby cheeks or a growing waistline, weight dominated our everyday conversations and thoughts.
If I gain weight, I'm going to worry about becoming too big. If I don't, I'll worry about becoming too skinny. It's a lose-lose situation that I've grown sick of. No one should waste their life worrying about something that's impossible to attain. Of course it will be hard to ignore our body image obsessed culture, but it will be easier than letting weight take over my life.

Candidates delve into debate
Student Senate election disputes marked by vigor, bitterness

Undecided voters who came to last night's formal debate between KUnited and Delta Force in hopes for straight talk on platform issues probably went home disappointed. Fortunately, there weren't many of them.
The crowd of 50 to 60 people was made up almost exclusively of the two coalitions' candidates and suppl

against the Jayhawk Express bus route after his KUnited counterpart Steve Munch said his coalition focused on relevant ideas and wasn't pursuing any "pie-in-the-sky goals."
"We need to push the limits, we need to have pie-in-the-sky goals," Swenson responded.

"Until we do, all we're going to have is a free bus route."
Jeff Dunlap, KUnited's vice-presidential candidate, made the first strike against a

specific candidate on the next question.
"Just because Blake Swenson knows the governor's scheduler, that doesn't mean things will get done," Dunlap said.
The two coalitions had come up with two similar sets of platform issues and one of the big questions of the debate became who stole whose ideas.
Munch and Dunlap accused Delta Force of having fiery rhetoric but few plans, while Swenson and his running mate Kevin McKenzie accused KUnited of not doing enough for students in its past two years in power.

A cut above the rest
Beautification a year-round job
By Anna Clovis aclovis@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
There's not a place more beautiful than a blooming University of Kansas in the spring.
Thousands of trees, tulips and greeneries bring the campus to life after snowy winters. Campus transforms from a bleak brown and gray to a rainbow of pastel blooms and vibrantly colored flowers. Kansas winters can be treacherous and long but are worth it when you know what the final product will be — the University that you see in the guidebooks.
The University has always been lauded for its oasis-in-Kansas appearance, but you might not think twice about how that look is maintained.
While the results are beautiful, the job
of landscaping the University is not. From fighting weeds to battling Kansas weather just as farmers do, cultivating the look requires an incredible amount of patience and dedication. That's where Mike Lang comes in.
The Kansas State University graduate withstands the environmental challenges year in and year out. He looks at his landscaping results as a farmer humbly looks at his crop: decent, but it could always be better.
"With the redbuds and magnolia trees, it really is an incredible sight." Lang said, "but we have work to do to move it along."
As the project manager for Facilities Operations landscaping, Lang is in charge of the different landscaping projects on campus and the crews that work on them.

Wescoe renovation will make Terrace welcoming
By Patrick Cady pcady@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Wescoe Terrace, as students know it now, will soon be no more.
On April 30, the dining area on the first floor of Wescos Hall will be shut down and subject to its first significant renovation in more than 10 years.
"Basically, the whole area will be completely transformed," said Michael Myers, assistant director of food services at the Kansas Union. "The inside as you see it now will be completely demolished."
The $1 million demolition and renovation project will make way for an extension that will increase the area of the building by one-fourth of its current size.
When it's done, the 10,000 square-foot terrace will be home to new brand name franchises such as Chik-Fil-A, Pizza Hut and a stir-fry franchise called Jump. The renovations will give campus residents more choices with their meal plans. Mvers said.
Along with the new franchises, the cafeteria also will have a deli and coffee area supplied by the Roasterie in Kansas City, Mo. The increased space also will allow for more cash registers and expanded sitting areas.
Myers said the new addition should help to bring new students to the cafeteria.
"I'd probably eat here more often because there wouldn't that big of a line," Elisa Zahn, Littleton, Colo., junior, said.
Myers estimates that 1,500 students eat at Wescoe Terrace per day, and after the renovation is finished, he predicts that will increase to 2,000.
"It will be an overall more welcoming and comfortable environment for students, to eat, study and visit," Myers said.

Student to lead Big 12 Council

Kansan staff writer
Kriston Guillot will officially accept his Big 12 Council presidential responsibilities tomorrow, during a Big 12 Council on Black Student Government meeting in Boulder. Colo.
Guillot, Shawnee sophomore, will replace Mark Dupree, Kansas City, Kan., senior, and will serve as president until next year's conference. Dupree said Guillot had several characteristics that would make him a successful president.
"He has charisma and that will take him a long way, but what's more is that he has the leadership ability to cope with the pressure," Dupree said. "He also has a passion to serve the people."
"You want to make sure they're adequately equipped to take over in three to four years once you graduate." Gullot said.
Guillot said he became interested in the Big 12 Council as a freshman, when he was appointed as chairman of the Freshman Action Committee. The main goals of the committee were retention and recruitment within the Big 12 schools.
He also said he wanted to get freshmen involved in their black student unions and the council to ensure the quality of the council.
Guillot said he knew he wanted to become the council president eventually but didn't expect to be voted in as a sophomore.

Fake Watkins e-mail had virus attached, students say
Several students received an e-mail that claimed to be from Watkins Memorial Health Center containing a virus in the attachment.
The e-mail from "watkins-notify" was sent to students Tuesday, warning them about the Monday hacking into the pharmacy server that contained student's personal information.
The e-mail with the virus uses the same subject line and address, but has an attachment. The legitimate e-mail that Watkin's sent Tuesday does not have an attachment.
Students who receive the e-mail that is from "watkins-notify" with an attachment should delete it, said Todd Cohen of University Relations.
Cohen said to check out the notification link on the University of Kansas homepage for more information concerning the e-mail.

English student receives Mellon fellowship award
Cody Marrs, Arkansas City senior in English, has won a fellowship offered by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The foundation offers 85 fellowships nationally to encourage teaching careers in the humanities.
Twenty-four University of Kansas students have received Mellon fellowships since 1984.
The fellowship provides $17,500 for tuition and fees for a year of graduate study.
"It's notable that as an undergraduate, Cody has developed a talent for working in some of the most demanding areas of literary studies," said Philip Barnard, associate professor of English and faculty adviser for Marrs.

Bruce Flanders, library director, said expanding the library at its current location would be the best option. Expanding the current location would also involve adding decked parking.
If the library was relocated, it would likely move to North Third Street, he said.
"I think we're on the right path," Flanders said. "I am extremely excited about the possibilities."

Department finds resources to assist 400 more Kansans
TOPEKA—About 400 disabled Kansans could soon move off a waiting list for in-home services, an official of the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services said yesterday.
SRS has spent less than expected on current recipients of the services, allowing the agency to take on more clients.
Also, legislators have voted to appropriate $71.4 million for the in-home help in the fiscal year beginning July 1, up from the current $64.7 million.

Senate candidates' records reveal offenses
By Andy Marso
amarso@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Routine background checks by the Kansan on this year's Student Senate candidates revealed offences against Delta Force presidential candidate Blake Swenson and one Delta Force senate candidate.
The records were obtained from the Lawrence municipal and district courts.
Both coalitions had a number of traffic violations.
Swenson had a charge of being a minor in possession of alcohol in June of 2002, which was reduced to a charge of unlawful use of a driver's license.
Swenson
PENGERTA
Swenson acknowledged the offense. He said he had gotten into a local bar with a driver's license that was not his.
Swenson paid a $300 fine for the offense
He said he didn't think it would hurt his chances for election.
"A lot of people on this campus have partaken in underage drinking." Swenson said.
Jared Keller, who is running for an off-campus seat with Delta Force had a minor in possession charge from August of 2003 that
was reduced to public consumption of alcohol. Keller paid a $400 fine for the offense.
He also had a charge of misde-
meanor theft on his record from
May of 2003. Keller said he and
a group of friends stole about $85
worth of hay bales from a local
hardware store for a party.
Week promotes world view
"It was late at night and we were thinking, it's dead grass, who really cares?" Keller said. "It was a really stupid thing to do, but it happened and I did it."
Keller and his friends repaid the hardware store for the hay bales the next day and Keller paid a $200 fine for the offense.

Although they usually take place in bigger cities, Lawrence will have its own type of World's Fair next week.
This weekend marks the start of the International Student Association's 52nd annual International Awareness Week. The association, which has about 200 members representing more than 100 countries, will host various events throughout the week including a volleyball tournament, a belly dance workshop, an international fashion show and a World Expo.
One of the main goals for the week is to show the student body that the association is not only for international students, said Maria Salcedo, Socorro, N.M., sophomore and public relations officer for the association.
She said having more domestic students in the association would
help the international students who don't speak a lot of English get acclimated to University life.
The week's two biggest events, the World Expo and the Festival of Nations, will take place on Friday.
At the World Expo, international students will set up exhibits for their native countries featuring pictures, flags, artifacts, cultural attire and musical instruments. About five hundred students from various elementary, junior high and high schools around the Lawrence area will attend the expo.
"I want to show them what Bolivia is all about so they will leave knowing a little bit about my country," said Gaston Araoz, junior from La Paz, Bolivia and president of the association.
At the Festival of Nations, international students will present a musical act, dance or any other type of cultural performance native to their country. The Anthony Daniels award also will be given out at this event, which is an award

Junior devotes time to multiculturalism
By Samia Khan

Krys Cole completes many tasks on campus, including work for the Multicultural Resource Center.
Every face in the crowd and every name in the phone book has a story behind it. Every week, Kansan staff writer Samia Khan tells the story of a randomly selected KU student.
Some might call Krys Cole's schedule crazy, but she likes to call it eclectic.
The Topeka junior has been involved in more activities and organizations than she can count
on both hands. She devotes as much time as possible to increasing diversity and variety in her life and on campus. Faces in the Crowd
"A lot of times if you're a student of color at KU, you want to help other students of color," the
Her freshman year she was involved in gospel choir, Black Student Union and the Multicultural Recruitment Team (MRT). Since then she has added Diversity Peer Education Team, Students Together Excelling in Education as Peers and KU Student Ambassadors to the list. She is also a web content analyst for Advanced Learning Technologies (ALTEC) in Joseph R. Pearson Hall.
Melva Landrum, Cole's friend since freshman year, said helping the minority community was Cole's passion.
Diversity and multiculturalism are the biggest themes noticed in her activities. As the new chairwoman of MRT, she will help organize the recruitment of minorities to campus. With DPET, she gives presentations on respecting differences.
Minneapolis, Minn. junior said.
Cole focuses on multiculturalism because she likes to experience as much as she can.
She said people often don't realize multiculturalism means everybody, not just minorities.
Landrum said Cole was the type of person to try anything she's interested in at least once.
She plays violin, has tried to learn phrases from as many languages as possible and is willing to try any kind of food. She said she's eaten food from around the world, but couldn't tell you what half of it was.
"I've had parts and combinations of cows and pigs that I don't want to know about," she said. "And you can do lots of funny things with milk."
Cole's experimenting and curiosity has been with her all her life. In high school, she was tempted to tryout for the wrestling team. Now, when nobody is looking, she'll try listening to country music.
At the University, she has converted her interest in diversity and
variety into a full schedule of pursuits.
Cole spends an average of 10 to 12 hours on campus every day, for school, work or activities.
Her roommate, Rachel Balzer, said Cole had a powerful sense of responsibility. Balzer, Whitewater junior, said Cole would always go to class or work even if she wasn't well.
Sometimes her busy schedule catches up with her. Cole said she has shown up for work only to realize she is supposed to be at her other job.
She has also been scheduled to work two places at the same time.
"There are times I know I'm supposed to be somewhere but I just don't know where for a while." she said.
Cole calls herself a creature of habit. Working for diversity and incorporating it in her own life are all she knows.
"Resting is what Saturday or Sunday is for."

BUDGET OVERVIEW: A 'KANSAN' SERIES
friday, april 9, 2004
'Budget overview'in wrap Support higher education
The University of
OUR VIEW
An economic downturn has caused problems for funding higher education. However, it is education that could help the future of the economy. Kansas must keep education funding a priority.
Kansas' budget reflects the nationwide economic downturn of the past few years.
As highlighted in this week's editorial series, "Budget overview", some of these changes include tapping into restricted fees to fund salary increases and using tuition dollars to fund enhancements such as technology and financial aid.
As a way of getting by in lean financial times, the University and state government have had to come up with some creative solutions for the money crunch.
The measures the University is going to however, are not as drastic as those of
some other Big 12 conference public institutions. The University of Colorado, in light of dwindling support from state funds, is facing the prospect of privatization within the next decade.
Could the University be in the same position in the future?
Kansas' governor and The Legislature need to commit themselves to higher education. They must go beyond simple lip-service and come up with the cash.
Tuition increases are not a substitute to regular funding. It is counter-productive to apply $8.6 million raised from increases toward enhancements unless there is already a strong base upon which to build.
Much like tuition increases, restricted fees are not a suitable place for the legislature to look to cover their part of funding.
Restricted fees are just that restricted. Each was raised specifically for one purpose, such as money for the Student Fitness Recreation Center or Hilltop Child Development. The Legislature is tapping into these restricted fees to fund a
Kansans don't need public education! Heck, we all home-school our kids anyways!
Yeah, concealed weapons and no gay marriage are what this state really needs!
I call for recess!

MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE LEGISLATURE...
3 percent salary increase this year.
It is imperative that this does not happen again. As a one-time action, using restricted fees is a temporary Band-Aid. It would be a dangerous precedent, draining money from deserving programs.
Zach Stinson for The University Daily Kansan
The state government needs to keep its end of the bargain to fund the salary increase after this year, and resolve to leave restricted fees alone.

Renowned radio voice, an aging tradition
PERSPECTIVE
I can't remember the first time I heard Max Falkenstien on the radio. Then again, people much older than I am can't remember a time when he wasn't on the radio.
COMMENTARY
Falkenstien, the legendary voice of the Jayhawks for football and men's basketball, celebrates his 80th birthday tomorrow. But what's even more remarkable is that with the University of Kansas regional final loss to Georgia Tech March 28, he wrapped up his 58th season behind the Jayhawk Network microphone. To keep a job for 20 years is an achievement in itself, but having one for almost three times that span is enviable.
It's amazing to sit and reflect on Falkenstein's radio career. He has seen it all in Kansas athletics. He called games during the national championship season in 1952. He hosted a half-hour radio show with Wilt Chamberlain called Flippin' with the Dipper during Chamberlain's college career. He saw Allen Fieldhouse being built and, idolized the man for which the building was named. He covered two

Orange Bowls that featured the Jayhawks in 1948 and 1969.
Through all of the successes and failures, through all of the coaching changes, through the yearly turnover in athletes, Falkenstien has been a constant. His warm, instantly recognizable voice, his brimming optimism and his infinite knowledge have made loyal fans turn down the TV volume to listen to a friend.
Falkenstien has been a hard-working man aside from the radio gig. He was at WREN radio as program and station manager for 12 years and then switched to television as the head of news and
sports at WIBW in Topeka for four years. After a year as general manager of Sunflower Cablevision, he worked at Douglas County Bank for 22 years until his retirement as senior vice president in December 1994.
For the past 21 years, Bob Davis has been his fantastic play-by-play sidekick. Max and Bob are the only broadcast team I've ever known for KU sports. Their on-air chemistry is special, from Bob's approving "yessir" of an astute Max observation to calling each other "brother."
The best time to listen to Max and Bob is when the game has long been decided, because they start to loosen up a little. I remember one time when a questionable foul was called and, in his subtle humor and adept use of Shakespeare, Falkenstien said, "Looks like something's rotten in Denmark." Davis couldn't stop laughing for almost a minute.
There's a certain comfort in knowing Falkenstien will be on the radio dial. When he unfortunately has to miss a game or two — this isn't a slight
to his replacements — it just isn't the same. I need to hear him wrap up a postgame interview with coach Bob Self with the familiar, "OK, Bob, that's the story from the head man. We'll switch 'er over to you." It's a tradition.
That's why it's going to be so strange when Falkenstien does decide to walk away from his familiar seat at press row. It would be difficult to hear anyone else alongside Davis because his easy-going, congenial delivery is so refreshing. While other color commentators settle for motor-mouthed bombast, Falkenstien refrains from all of that. He connects us to our past, paints a picture on the action that we all can understand, and heck, even points out the famous people who are in the arena during a time out.
Happy birthday, Max, from every Kansas fan who has had the pleasure of listening to you for the last 58 years. I hope to hear your voice for many more games to come.

MUSIC OF MY MIND
International sensitivity essential to times
"I think the whole world's addicted to the drama..." — Black Eyed Peas, "Where is the Love?" from the 2003 album, Elephunk
As the 9/11 commission digs deeper in its search for the causes of Sept. 11, the United States has found itself transfixed by the suspense of what could emerge as one of the more fascinating public examinations of government in recent years.
As intriguing as one may find this commission's search, and whatever findings it may uncover about what happened, we are left with the grim reality that the same potential that existed in those months before that September exists now. Coloring that potential yellow, orange, or red with our various and cryptic terror alert codes does nothing but add to the drama of this opera that seems more like a failed Tom Clancy novel each day.
Frequently Clancy's protagonists are solo artists. They generally learn of a terrorist threat and with the help of a small, elite team of people saves the United States and, in many cases, the world from major acts of aggression. In the most heated moments of Clancy's art, the world's fate of absolute triumph or of stark disaster is often decided in the last
COMMENTARY
PETER
Cornelius Minor opinion@kansan.com
That's not how it works in our world. When one considers President George W. Bush, Richard Clarke, former foreign policy adviser, President Clinton, Condalleza Rice, national security adviser and others, there are no heroes in our cast of characters. But it's important to note that there are no villains among them either. It is not any one person's job to save us from the types of people that we have problematically labeled as terrorists; consequently, it is no one's fault that 2,978 people died on American soil as a result of terrorism in 2001.
When we seek to understand the root causes of events such as the attacks on Sept. 11, we cannot begin to do so with-
moments by the heroic actions of a single person.
out laboring to understand the role that the United States plays in global politics. As the most powerful nation on the planet, we have an immense responsibility to all of our neighbors.
In global terms, that means making basic human rights a top priority. No one anywhere should ever want for adequate food, safety, shelter and access to education. Global history has been bloodied with examples of what happens when those things have been denied. Hopes for global peace must be rooted in hopes for economic and political inclusion.
Our role as a nation is much like the role of an older sibling in a family. It is not our job to completely carry the burdens of other countries, but we are somewhat responsible for making sure that those younger siblings among us can stand and prosper on their own and that they can communicate candidly—without fear of retribution—with one another and with us.
For those who have ideas that are not in line with dominant Western thought, such inclusion remains an elusive dream. Such states often find themselves bombed or sanctioned to death. The United States has, with its might, closed many lines of international discussion.
For small nations and the political groups within those nations, it has become near impossible to make a statement against the United States. When dialogue fails, even if groups in particular countries wanted to war with the United States, most cannot even bear the cost of entering Geneva-sanctioned conflict. For many of those whom we call terrorists, extreme violence is the only way that they can be heard.
Countering terrorism is going to require a new international sensitivity on the part of Americans. I seriously doubt that we could have seen 9/11 coming, but if we knew more about the non-Western world — anything about the multiple hardships suffered, if we knew of the lives lost daily, of the empty stomachs, of the dreams that lie shattered here and in countries all over the globe, and if we knew of people's desperate and maddening desire to be free of those things — we would have known that the possibility of a 9/11 was always present. I certainly hope that it's safe to say that we know now.

Bikram yoga: It's getting hot in there
Brent Carter/Kans-
Rachel Laker, Dallas senior, and other yoga students performed an upper back stretch yesterday at Bikram's Yoga College of India, 711 W.23rd St. This type of yoga was created by former weightfitter Bikram Choudhury of India.
By Matt Rodriguez
mrodriguez@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
This is known as Bikram yoga.
It's 105 degrees in the room and she's focused on mastering the pose known as the "Standing Bow." Standing with her feet together, Annie Petterson lifts her left foot and grabs the inside of her ankle with her left hand while extending her right arm forward and swinging her head down toward the floor. The finished pose looks like the Topeka senior is doing the splits while standing.
This is known as Bikram yoga
Bikram yoga took root three decades ago. With 314 certified schools, the Bikram's Yoga College of India in Los Angeles is attracting people who are in search of weight loss, toned muscles, flexibility and healthier bodies.
Its instructors tell their students not to overdo it while practicing Bikram.
"You have to know when to stop, and this can sometimes be a societal issue," said Elizabeth Marshall, owner of Bikram's Yoga College of India, 711 W. 23rd St.
Bikram uses yoga positions that other forms of yoga use and adds heat into the regimen. Each 90-minute class is held in a mirrored room where the temperature is raised to 105 degrees. Marshall said the higher temperature outside the body helps loosen and protect stretched muscles. But others say students need to be aware of how far they are stretching.
"Heat allows you to stretch more," said Robert Galin, director of orthopedic and sports reha
bilitation at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York. "But when you stretch beyond 25 percent of its resisting length, you begin to damage a muscle."
Marshall said each person must be aware of his individual limits when doing Bikram yoga. She said she dealt with egos all the time when cases of class competitiveness arose.
"People will see a neighbor doing a far more advanced pose, and they think they can do it, too," Marshall said. "We're all the same way. We all have this competitiveness within us."
Bikram's instructors will warn students if a certain pose is too advanced for them, but Marshall said students still will try it.
Petterson, a student of Marshall's, has been doing Bikram yoga for six months and sees herself as a more energized individual who has come a long way. Last week she became nauseated during class for the first time. She sat on her mat and breathed for 30 minutes before continuing to rejoin the class — exactly what Marshall wanted her to do.
"Bikram tells you to do what you can, but do it right. Even if it means just standing there and breathing," Marshall said. "This is how you adjust your body to Bikram."
Bikram instructors have to be certified by Bikram Chuckhoury, the school's founder, after attending his nine week, 13-hour-a-day course in Los Angeles. The
instructors, like medical physicians, have to continue their education while in practice.
Marshall offers two weeks of unlimited access to her college for $55 and encourages that her students use the unlimited access. Even going to the class three time a day is not too much, she said.
Marshall said even though her Bikram class is designed for beginners, anyone wanting to change her life should give it a try.
Petterson is devoting both mind and body to the class. She likes its discipline because it gives structure, she said.
structure, she said. "And for an unstructured person like me, that's an accomplishment."

Rice: No 'silver bullet' to stop 9/11 attacks
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Under sharp questioning, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice insisted yesterday that President Bush fully understood the threat of terrorism before Sept. 11,2001,but no intelligence foretold the deadliest attack ever on American soil.
Disputing criticism that Bush was negligent, Rice told a national commission "there was no silver bullet that could have prevented" the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York Washington and Pennsylvania.
Broadcast live around the world, the hearing turned contentious as Democratic members questioned why alarms didn't ring when Bush was presented with an Aug. 6, 2001, classified memo entitled "Bin Laden determined to attack inside United States."
Former Sen. Bob Kerrey, a Democratic member of the commission, described the memo as saying that "the FBI indicates patterns of suspicious activity in the United States consistent with preparations for hijacking."
Rice dismissed the document as "historical information based on old reporting" and said it did not warn of attacks inside the United States. But she acknowledged it did reveal the FBI had 70 field investigations under way involving Al Qaeda in the United States
Commission members unani
mously asked the White House to declassify the memo, whose title had not been revealed previously. The White House said it would be declassified — but not yesterday
Relatives of victims killed on Sept. 11 sat in the audience behind Rice, scribbling notes and shaking their heads at times as she rebutted accusations by former counterterrorism aide Richard Clarke that Bush had fumbled opportunities to eliminate Al Qaeda.
Unlike Clarke, Rice offered no apology for the government's failure to prevent the attacks.
"Accountability, ma'am, accountability," called out Carie Lemack, whose mother died on the first hijacked plane to hit the World Trade Center. After three hours in the witness chair, Rice shook hands with a few family members and then reached out to embrace a few more.
With much at stake for the president, Rice appeared composed and unruffled even as members challenged her responses and accused her of filibustering with long answers. Rice carried the responsibility of defending Bush's credibility on the issue he has made the cornerstone of his re-election campaign.
After hearing from Rice, the commission met with former President Clinton for more than three hours and said he was "forthcoming and responsive to questions." Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney are to be questioned soon, also in private.
CANDIDATES: Few platform issues ever addressed
CONTINUED FROM 1A
A platform issue discussed was KUnited's proposed tuition contract that would lock tuition at the rate of students' freshman years.
they'd already started school.
Dunlap said the plan would prevent students from being priced out of an education after
McKenzie contended that the contracts would be no good if tuition was already so high that some couldn't start school.
The question that the two presidential candidates disagreed on most clearly was related to current Student Body President
Andy Knopp's vote in committees last week. A University Affairs committee member filed an appeal, contending that Knopp's vote was illegal because the student body president was automatically a non-voting member of all Senate standing committees. If elected, Swenson said he would
uphold the tradition of former presidents Jonathan Ng and Justin Mills, and not vote.
"I feel that Andy Knopp abused his power just to pass a bill he co-wrote." Swenson said. "I was quite disgusted, actually."
Munch defended his KUnited predecessor and said he wouldn't rule out voting in committee if he was elected.
Of the four candidates, Munch refrained from personal attacks the most, but broke down near the end after Swenson questioned KUnited's activism, accusing coalition members of concentrating mainly on getting elected.
"Let's talk about you not getting involved in Student Senate until one month before you decide to run for president,"
Munch responded to Swenson.
After the debate the candidates commended each other's passion and said the animosity they'd displayed wouldn't prevent them from working together next year

WESCOE: Snack bar to open soon
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Before that realization, the loss of Wescoe Terrace this semester leaves some students upset.
"I wish they would wait another two weeks before school shuts down," Matthew Rusto.
Butler,
Wichita junior, said. "I think a lot of people rely on coming here."
Myers said the cafeteria must shut down early to guarantee that it would be functional for the first day of class.

To minimize the inconvenience, Myers said that food services staff would open a temporary snack bar in the hallway of the first floor of Wescoe. The snack bar will serve dell sandwiches, candy and soft drinks. Also, the hot dog stand on Wescoe Beach will be adding more items to its menu.
Myers said plans were in the works for another convenience store, such as a HawkShop, within a year of finishing renovations of the current cafeteria.

CUT: Students enjoy flowers
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Lang's office is as far away from that sight as it could be. Tucked away in an almost unmarked metal building, Lang has no windows that look out to the vistas he helps create. The building itself has no elaborate flower beds and is hardly recognizable as a KU building, except for the permit signs in the parking lot.
Manpower
Inside, there are no interior gardens or plants on display. Instead, lawn mowers and equipment needing repair line the walls, and the smell is more motor oil and gasoline than fragrant roses.
Based in this building are 27 full-time employees who make their way up to main campus every day to do some sort of project: digging out weeds, spreading manure or soaking flowerbeds.
But you can't deny that this is where the magic begins.
For example, the landscaping crews planted the approximately 10,000 tulips now in bloom on campus in October.
Lang said the employees were tough and were doing something in all four seasons to help the campus look its best.
"Some people think we're only out there for three or four months," Lang said. "We don't just gear up in February. It's a year-round project."
The landscaping plan coordinates with the campus master plan, which dictates new building areas, campus improvements and planting areas.
Peggy Livingood, one of two
In historic "showcase" areas such as Strong Hall and Budig Hall, plantings should highlight the beauty and history in the area, Livinggood said.
University landscape architects, said plants were chosen for different areas.
She said it was a day-to-day process to plan the landscaping and evaluate its success.

Lang said he wasn't expecting the campus to look as good as it does. After three years of drought, turf thins and trees are lost. The only thing that grows well in dry times is weeds, Lang said. Even with those conditions, the spring-time results are impressive.
"We came out of a hard summer and a rough winter, but when you walk on campus now, it revives you," Lang said.
"On bad days with rain or snow, people come back from the campus in a glum mood," Hout said, "but on a 70-degree day when the campus is in bloom, everyone comes back with bright smiles."
That spirit is also conveyed to those who visit the campus. Jenny Hout, campus visit coordinator, said people would be amazed at how visitors reacted to the beauty of campus on a good day.
When alumni come to the campus, Hout said they recounted fond memories of the landscape.
Hout said they talked about their memories of campus landmarks such as the Campanile and also the red and yellow tulips in front of Strong Hall.
Pleasure
Tulips bloomed in a flower bed between Wescoe Hall and Anschutz Library yesterday, Tulips grow from bulbs and create new bulbs, spreading as the years go by.
here first for academic reputation, Hout said, other important factors enter in.
"You've got to feel at home and be proud of your campus, too," she said.
Although students are coming
Alison Lomas, Lawrence freshman, ate lunch yesterday on the lawn between Wescoe and Stauffer Flint Halls.
Lomas said she didn't choose the campus because of its beauty, but it was an added bonus.
"The nice landscape makes it a little more relaxing to go outside and lodge around," she said.
There is no question that the beauty of campus correlates to how students feel, said Margey Frederick, director of visitor services.
Frederick said when parents and potential students toured campus, they told student ambassadors how beautiful campus was or mentioned on their evaluations.
campus receives, it isn't ranked as one of the nation's 20 best.
In the Princeton Review 2004 "Best 351 College Rankings," the University of California-Santa Cruz took top honors followed by Elon University in Elon, N.C.
Top rankings aren't Lang's ultimate goal. He said every landscaping project was directed toward the goal of improving the campus.
He said he heard of campus's beauty growing up near Lawrence but often doesn't get the opportunity to hear it now.
Even with all the praise the
"I don't get to hear from students very much," Lang said, "but it's nice to know they like it."
Reward
Studying his plans, thinking of how to add more color to campus, his job never ends.
And just like a Kansas farmer, regardless of the environmental elements that come, he will continue to make the University bloom in beauty.

weeks before the annual Big 12 conference. Dupree said having a supportive Black Student Union helped him handle the responsibility of being Big 12 president.
Guillot said the main goal of the council was to improve communication among Big 12 and non-Big 12 schools through the state caucus system, which was primarily implemented by Dupree. Through the system of representatives and liaisons, non-Big 12 schools can now be more aware of what's happening in the Big 12 Conference.
Guillot said replacing Dupree
helped ease the transition period because the two are at the same University and are friends.
"We share a lot of goals for what we want to see for KU." Guillot said. "Mark knows how to handle the responsibility and the things to avoid."

"I think it was a perfect choice and a perfect fit," Allen said. "Now we have to see if we can get some business done."

IRELAND: Former student overcomes injury woes and bounces back in overseas league
CONTINUED FROM 12A
Although their educations were their top priorities, they both planned to attend walk-on tryouts. After tryouts ended, the Jayhawk hopefuls learned there was no room on the team for any walk-ons.
Bracey didn't try out the next year. He had become occupied with student life and hadn't stayed in shape. He also had to deal with another unexpected obstacle: his father's suicide. West, who considered Bracey's father like his own, said the suicide was completely unexpected. Bracey offered to stay with his mother in Chicago but she insisted he go back to school.
"I still loved the hoop, but I didn't feel like trying out again," Bracey said.
By the end of the year Brucey's brother, Bryan, had earned a scholarship to the University of Oregon and was playing on
ESPN. His brother continued to advise him to use his basketball skills instead of wasting them. Bracey said he realized playing basketball meant more to him than going out to Jack Flanigans on the weekends.
He transferred to a junior college in California. After one year, he earned a scholarship at West Texas A&M University. Four games into the season, he faced yet another setback.
Tough road to success
His first season in Texas, Bracey continued to play with what he thought was muscle pain. He now knows that he had developed a cyst on his femur, which had weakened the bone. Bracey was fouled on a dunk attempt. When he hit the ground, the bone snapped.
He saw his inner thigh bulging out and felt something rip. The trainers later said they had never seen anything like it. Bracey lay
on the ground and stared at the ceiling. Every one tried to keep him calm, telling him it was a muscle tear. But Bracey could tell it was worse.
"They all looked really grossed out," he said.
He missed the rest of the season and part of the next season recovering from the injury. His mother still worries about him playing with a metal rod in his legs.
After the injury, Bracey thought he might never play again. He questioned whether all the work he put in was worth it. West said he couldn't stand to know that his best friend was depressed, in pain and losing strength.
Sixteen months later, Bracey began playing limited minutes.
"I've never been much of a quitter," he said. "It was just another challenge for me."
By the end of the season he was averaging 15 points per game and helped his team win the conference tournament. He had still missed too many games to consider getting any post-collegiate attention.
memorandum
"I thought I was done hoopin' at the end of the season," he said.
Stepping stone
Summer of 2003 came, and Bracey got another chance; a call from Ireland.
Rus Bradbury was the coach of Horans Healthstore Tigers, a professional European team in Traule, Ireland. He had heard about Bracey through a chain of information that led back to an agent representing Bracey's brother. Bradbury offered Bracey a spot on the team for the 2003-2004 season.
"I took a look at his career and saw the best was yet to come," Bradburd said.
Each Irish team is allowed a certain number of American citizens. The team already had its quota of Americans, but Bracey's
case was unusual. He was able to get an Irish passport and citizenship because his grandparents were Irish.
Bracey took the opportunity to push himself to a new level. He had to adjust to the weather, the Irish accents and the size of the country. For the 6-foot-5, 195-pound forward with a size 13 shoe, just taking a shower was a struggle.
"Everything there is just so small," he said. "The fridge came up to my knees."
Despite the adjustment and homesickness, Bracey stayed focused and averaged 18 points and 8 rebounds. He was named 2nd team All-Ireland and most valuable player of the playoffs.
The Tigers had been the worst professional team in Ireland the year before, earning only five victories. Last season they were the best team in the country with a 16-4 record. Bradburd said Bracey was the biggest reason for
the team's success.
Bracey also finished his undergraduate degree in criminal justice while he was in Ireland. His mother, who supported his dreams but stressed education, said her son would have been a success no matter what he did.
West said he knew Bracey's determination and talent would carry him further in basketball.
"I said this is what you're supposed to be doing," West said. "I always told him, 'You're the man.'"
In the next few years, Bracey will most likely earn a six-figure contract in Europe, Bradurd said. He may also get an opportunity to play in the Olympics with the Irish national team. Bradurd called Bracey the most improved player in the world in the last four years.
"His career is on a tremendous upward trajectory," Bradburd said. "He's a guy who came from nowhere and became a hero."

COLLEGE ATHLETICS
Student athletes receive honor for high grades
The University of Kansas selected 211 student athletes to be on the Athletic Director's Honor Roll. Student athletes receiving the honor earned at least a 3.0 GPA in the Spring 2003 or Fall 2004 semesters.
Of the 211 students selected, 33 earned a perfect 4.0 GPA for at least one of the semesters. All Kansas sports had athletes represented on the honor roll.
In a released statement, Athletics Director Lew Perkins said the number of students present on the honor roll was a testament to the athletes, the faculty and the academic support programs.

Ceremony celebrates men's team
By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Unlike a year ago when Roy Williams' departure cast a somber mood on the men's basketball team's awards ceremony, this year's awards were stress free.
The only tense moment of the evening came when freshman guard J.R. Giddens — reduced to crutches from post-season surgery — stumbled when approaching the stage. Giddens caught himself and regained his balance to the relief of the audience of about 1,200.
The ceremony at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center provided more relief to anxious KU fans when junior forward Wayne Simien announced he would return for his senior year.
"He has the chance to go down as the best player I've ever coached," Self said.
Simien earned the Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen Most Valuable Player Award, Bill Bridges Rebounding Award, James Naismith Captain Award, and the praise of coach Belf. Self.
"Thanks for not giving up on me and giving me the shoe where it counts when I needed it."
Jeff Graves Kansas forward
STANLEY CLEVEN
Other Jayhawks to earn awards included Aaron Miles who won the Cedric Hunter/Jacque Vaughn Assists Award, a James Naismith Captain Award and the Danny Manning Mr. Jayhawk Award.
"He seems to do all the right things. If everyone cared as much as this guy, Kansas would never lose," Self said.
The ceremony also honored the squad's three seniors. Senior forward Jeff Graves won the Dick Harp Field Goal Percentage Award. He thanked his coaches in his speech for their support in what was a turbulent season at times.
"Thanks for not giving up on me and giving me the shoe where it counts when I needed it," Graves said.
Aaron Miles accepted an award from coach Bill Self last night at the men's basketball awards ceremony at Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Miles won the Danny Manning Mr. Jayhawk Award, Cedric Hunter/Jacque Vaughn Assists Award and the James Naismith Captains Award.
Senior forwards Bryant Nash and Brett Olson were also the recipients of standing ovations from the audience and compliments from Self. Olson won the Ken Koenigs Academic Award.
"All three of these guys left Kansas better than when they found it," Self said.
Self also looked forward to next season with the return of juniors Keith Langford, Mike Lee, Miles and Simien.
"Next year our four seniors need to bring home a banner," Self said.

Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is an 8.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 10.
As you get into the job, you'll discover a new complication. This requires a modification of your routine, attitude or both.

CONTINUED FROM 12A
how to setup the cornerback just before he makes his cuts. Once he gets behind the cornerbacks, he's tough to catch. Simmons tied for the team lead with 769 yards receiving, while leading the team with 19.2 yards per catch and seven touchdowns. His 39-yard touchdown catch in the UNLV game helped put the game away, while his electrifying 74-yard catch-and-run touchdown against Northwestern almost helped bring Kansas back.
IMPROVED: Charles Gordon, Moderick Johnson are among wide receivers to watch
Brandon Rideau, senior, is the tall, possession-type receiver. At 6-foot-4 with great leaping ability, Rideau had questionable hands in 2002. With work, Rideau has evolved into a solid, first-down type player who had nine catches for 109 yards against North Carolina State in the Tangerine Bowl. Rideau has looked quicker and faster in the spring, and his 64-yard touchdown catch against Colorado showed
A two-way player trying to find a position, Gordon could windup at cornerback instead, but he will still get snaps at wide receiver. Mangino said that if Gordon plays on defense, he will still get 10 snaps per game on offense.
Charles Gordon, sophomore,
is the do-it-all dynamo.
Moderick Johnson, sophomore, is the x-factor. The Greater Houston Area Offensive Player of the Year in high school, Johnson stands 6-5 with great hands and good speed. Johnson could blow up at any time. While most fans remember the drop he had against Missouri, he redeemed himself later in the game with a tough catch on a nine-yard slant on fourth down.
He has the explosiveness to test a defense, and he led the receivers with 57 catches and tied Simmons for receiving yards with 769.
Against Oklahoma State, he one-handed a circus catch for a touchdown. With Gordon's
possible move to cornerback, Johnson could become an increasingly large part of the offense. He had 13 catches as the fourth wide receiver last season.
Wide receiver is not only a talented position, but a deep one as well. Scott Bajza, senior; Dominic Roux, sophomore; Gary Heaggans, senior; and Tony King, freshman; could all see time at the fourth wide receiver spot.
But it is an incoming freshman, Dexton Fields, who may surprise fans.
"We have added a top-notch high school wide receiver," Mangino said. "He is a guy that we targeted early and we were able to land him."

Fields is a player with good size, 6-0, and speed, 4.4 seconds in the 40-yard dash. Fields had five touchdown catches in a high school game as a senior and had 93 yards receiving in the Coca-Cola All-Star game.

Nianq, Wilkes to leave team
By Henry C. Jackson
hjackson@kansan.com
Kansan sports editor
Kansas basketball players Moulaye Niang and Omar Wilkes will be granted releases and be allowed to transfer at the end of this academic year, according to news releases sent after last night's basketball award ceremony.
Wilkes, a 6-foot-4 freshman guard, will transfer to a school on the West Coast, Kansas coach Bill Self said in a media release last night.
"Omar did very well in school, and I really believe he is going to be an excellent college basketball player," Self said in the release. "Unfortunately for Kansas, it will now happen on the West Coast."
The release did not indicate where Wilkes would transfer, but his father, Jamaal Wilkes, played college basketball at UCLA and professional basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers. Rumors have also circulated about a potential transfer to Cal or Stanford, two schools
also close to his family's home in Los Angeles.
Awards were presented last night to the men's basketball team. See page 6A.
Rumors about a move for Niang, a 6-10 sophomore center, had been ciru
lating for more than a week, and the San Diego Union-Tribune reported earlier this week that the center would visit San Diego State University and possibly Texas Christian University, where former Kansas assistant Neil Dougherty is coach.
Last night's news release confirmed the Tribune's report, saying that Niang would visit both schools soon.
Niang's transfer does not come as a surprise, but as recently as two months ago Wilkes denied he was transferring in an interview with the Kansan. It is thought that both players considered leaving Kansas because of playing time, but Wilkes also expressed an interest to play basketball and go to school closer to his home.
Niang
SUNIL KATHEWAN
Wilkes
"I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here, and I've built many great relationships which I'm sure I will continue on a personal level off the court now," Wilkes said in the release. "However, I believe it's in my best interest to pursue my education and my basketball career closer to home where I can interact more with my family and feel more comfortable."
Wilkes saw sparse minutes as a reserve guard this year, and was behind
junior guards Jeff Hawkins and Michael Lee as well as freshman guard Jeremy Case on Selfs depth chart for most of the season.
Though showing potential at times, Niang struggled to compete for minutes with Kansas' post players during his time at Kansas. Niang did not receive much playing time, despite the team having only two healthy big men last year.
This year, with freshman center David Padgett taking up more minutes, Niang saw even less time, and walk-on and sophomore forward Christian Moody got the majority of the minutes in the post when Padgett and senior forward leff Graves were in foul trouble.
Niang said he loved his time at Kansas, but that he would need to consider going somewhere where he could get more playing time.
"I love my teammates, I love the fans, everything is just great out here," Niang said in the news release. "However, I'm the type of player who wants to be part of everything, and I want to play."
If both players transfer, Kansas will have two scholarships available for next year. That could smooth the path for Malik Hairston, a 6-6 high-school guard from Detroit. Hairston, a McDonald's All-American, has a short list of schools he is still considering, including Kansas, UCLA and possibly Michigan and Ohio State. He is supposed to meet with Self soon.
A longer shot would be landing 6-11 high-school center C.J. Giles. Giles signed a letter of intent to play for the University of Miami, but the school recently fired the coach who recruited him, Perry Clark. The school has said that it would not entertain any request from Giles to transfer until it appoints a new coach. Kansas recruited Giles before he signed with Miami, but no one can speak to him about playing for the Jayhawks until a release is given by Miami. Giles' father also played basketball at Kansas.

Kansas' wide receivers improved
Edited by Ehren Meditz
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansas senior sportwriter
Just one year ago, Kansas' wide receivers were viewed as a weak point of the football team.
Dropped passes and lack of overall speed led Athlon Sports Magazine to rank the Kansas receivers as the 11th best in the Big 12 Conference, ahead of only run-happy Nebraska. Other publications followed suit, and the Jayhawk wideouts were rated as either the 11th or 12th best wide receivers in the conference by almost every preseason annual.
Charles Gordon, Kansas freshman wide receiver, aided by teammates, pushed down the field during the Oct. 18 Homecoming game against Baylor. The Jayhawks won the game 28-21, and Gordon ran for 52 yards and scored one touchdown.
After a breakout season in 2003, Kansas' receivers may now be one of the strongest points on the team. Out of the fires of criticism came a wide receiver corps that helped Kansas finish fourth in the conference in passing, despite missing its starting quarterback for three games and most of a fourth.
Kansan File Photo
Perhaps the best fact about the 2003 receivers is that the top four all return for the 2004 season.
The receivers that played in 2003 were a far cry from the dismal 2002 season. Focusing all year on honing hand-eye coordination and catching the ball, the receivers played up to their potential, giving Bill Whittemore a well-rounded cast of targets to throw the ball to.
Adam Barmann, sophomore quarterback, said the return of experienced receivers is a plus for the team that is looking for a starting quarterback.
"It's huge. When they're coming
back to the huddle, they're always telling me things, look for me on this break," Barmann said. "They're so smart, it's a big help to me because they're so savvy out there."
They are not only smart, they provide a variety of different receiving types.
Mark Simmons, junior, is the deep threat. Mark Mangino, Kansas football
coach, said Simmons had deceptive speed. He has explosive rather than distance speed, and Simmons knows

One-time Jayhawk a star in Ireland
The basketball hero who didn't make Roy's cut
NORTHWEST RAINS
By Samia Khan skhan@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
It was practicing outside every day in the cold and rain that helped Chris Bracey get where he is today. He didn't give up when the neighbor complained about the noise and that the dribbling basketball was making her television screen jump. The alley behind his house was never too small or dark for him to shoot hoops. It is for all those reasons that Bracey is on the verge of his basketball dreams.
Bracey, a KU student from Fall 1998 to Spring 1999, helped his professional European league team in Ireland win the nation's playoffs last season. Next season he plans to sign a contract to play in a bigger European country. But he had to push himself through 10 years of trials to get to this point.
Bracey remembers the devastation of being cut for the first time his sophomore year at Oak Park River Forest High School in Chicago. He thought he had done everything right.
Chris West, Chicago senior, stands with Chris Bracey, former KU student. Bracey is playing pro basketball and was MVP of his team in Tralee, Ireland. He took the team from worst to first in one season
Bracey practiced on his own. He ran track to stay in shape. He used the hoop in the alley behind his house to practice his handling and shooting skills for three to five hours every day. Bracey played pick-up games against men twice his age at the YMCA to build his confidence.
Bracey's best friend since the eight grade, Christopher West, made the team that year. West, a Chicago senior, said it was hard to go to practice, knowing Bracey had to go home.
"He came home with tears in his eyes," said his mother, Peggy Bracey.
Both West and Bracey continued to play and practice. West said he fed off of Bracey's tenacity. Even after being cut twice, Bracey maintained his determination and workout regimen.
Junior year began and tryouts for the team soon came. He was cut again.
They ran drills until 10 every night, or until it was so dark outside that their mothers asked them to come inside. By their senior year, the work had paid off. West said it was obvious they were the best players at tryouts that year. They

both made the team.
Bracey was named the team's most valuable player, averaging 16 points and seven rebounds per game. He made the West Suburban All- Conference team.
But it was only one year of experience, and not enough time to make a big name for himself.
Jayhawk for a while
Bracey could have played at a junior college, but he chose the University of Kansas. He fell in love with the campus and his mother wanted him to put his education first. He decided to attend the University with West.

The Texas A&M Aggies are coming into the series ranked 15th by the Baseball America Poll.
TALK TO SPORTS: Contact Henry C. Jackson or Maggie Newcomer at SPORTS@KANSAN.COM
The Aggies have returned 17 letter winners this season. Experience has been a reason for the team's 27-8 overall record. Texas & A.M.'s 4-5 Big 12 Conference place it fifth.
Victories in this series are important for the Jayhawks. The Big 12 is proving to be strong this season. Texas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas A&M are currently ranked in the Top 25.
First pitch is set for 6 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark.
Both Baylor and Oklahoma were previously ranked.
With a 1-5 record in conference play, multiple victories against Texas A&M could help Kansas move ahead of Missouri, Texas Tech and Kansas State in the Big 12.

Team looks to regroup with successful double-header
The Kansas softball team will look to correct a recent spell of losing play when it takes on Texas A&M in a double-header this weekend.
The two games will take place Saturday with the first pitch scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Game two should start about 1:30 p.m.
After a rough outing against Missouri on Wednesday, Kansas will have to bring its bats back to life if the team hopes to have a shot at A&M.

Debate at Wescoe Beach
Candidates aim to focus on platforms
The four candidates for student body president and vice president will stage an informal debate at noon today on Wescoe Beach.
By Andy Marso amarso@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
With elections two days away, today's debate provides the candidates with one of their last chances to sway undecided voters. They staged a formal debate last Thursday that was attended by mostly coalition candidates and supporters.
Blake Swenson, Topeka senior, is running for president with Delta Force against Steve Munch, Bellevue, Neb., sophomore who is running with KUnited. Kevin McKenzie, Salina sophomore, is running for vice president with Delta Force against KUnited's Jeff Dunlap, Leawood junior.
Students were invited to last week's debate but weren't allowed to participate. All the questions came from a group of three panelists. The debate turned personal fast, with all four candidates throwing verbal jabs at their opponents. Swenson said he wanted to get students more information on the Delta Force platform today. "I think there'll be more concentration on the issues," Swenson said. "I think it

John Kary, Topeka freshman, fought on the terrorist side in a game of Counter-Strike at AdrenaLAN, 833 Ohio St., on March 31. At any given time, there's 100,000 people logged on to Counter-Strike, a modification of Half-Life.
Are You Game?
Lawrence gamers find common
Armed with a headset equipped with a microphone, plus two bags of Doritos and a can of black cherry cola, John Kary is ready to take on the terrorists. He hides behind corners, runs to evade his enemies and yells to his teammates when he's out of ammunition.
Luckily for Kary, running out of ammunition isn't that big of a deal because the guns were never real in the first place. The terrorists were created by a software engineer, and if Kary happens to get killed, he can simply start up again. Kary is in the world of Counter-Strike — a world where five players work together to eliminate terrorists from the streets.

Kary, who plays video games about 10 to 15 hours a week, is just one of many people across the country who can regularly be found in front of a computer or a television set playing video games. Although a lot of people enjoy playing video games every once in while, "gamers," as they are sometimes referred to as, are more than just casual players and usually spend a couple hours each day playing. For some, playing can interfere with the rest of their lives and in some cases, it can lead to addiction.
On this particular
day, Kary and his teammates are practicing at AdrenaLAN, 833 Ohio St., a computer and console gaming center that is a haven for gamers.
Kary said he had been playing video games ever since he was 3 years old, to the dismay of his parents.
"They would always tell me to 'Go dead and go to bed.'" he said, laughing about his parents' interesting use of terminology.

Pride Week begins with political speaker
By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Donate Against Hate, meet a U.S. congress official, partake in a drag show and finally, march for queer pride.
These are only a few of the activities that Queer and Allies will host during Pride Week. The Week will begin today at 10:30 a.m. on Wescoe Beach where Queers and Allies members will distribute free soda and copies of Vanguard, the University of Kansas' gay and lesbian publication.
gay and lesbian U.S. Representative Sabrina Sojourner will speak at 7:30 tonight at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Sojourner was the first openly lesbian official to be elected to Congress. She is also an author of anti-opression literature. Jimmie Manning, graduate student from Liberal and chairman of Pride Week, said he was pleasantly surprised at how quickly Sojourner accepted the invitation. He said getting speakers to come to Lawrence was difficult, partly because of the reputation areas around Lawrence have in the Bible Belt.
Pride Week will also feature a Religion and Oppression panel on Thursday that will discuss the use of religious texts, especially Bible scripture, to oppress homosexuals and other minority groups. Members of local clergy will be on the panel to discuss the meanings behind disputed passages in the Bible.
"There's a lot of gray area in the middle, and the panel will explore the black and the white of it," Manning said.

Kevin McKenzie, the Delta Force vice presidential candidate, is the only candidate vying for one of Student Senate's top positions who is trying to balance campaigning with maintaining a serious relationship.
McKenzie and his girlfriend, Cassi Ross, Sabeth sophomore, have been dating for about five months. When they got together, McKenzie had just decided to run for student body vice president.
"I knew he had made this commitment," Ross said, "but I didn't know it would be quite like this."
During the intense campaigning of the last month, McKenzie, Salina sophomore, has left his house at 7 a.m. every day and generally not gotten home until 10 or 11 p.m.

$300,000 donation will help build. maintain collection
A former University of Kansas professor has given $300,000 to the Kansas University Endowment Association to expand a Latin American library collection. The donation is from the late William J. Griffith and his late wife, Shirley Lucas. It will be used to endow a fund for the Griffith Collection of Research Materials on Latin America.
Interest earned on the fund will be used to preserve and supplement the collection, which the University first bought from Griffith in 1982.
The collection includes materials Griffith collected during his time as director of the U.S. Division of Education, Office of Interim-American Affairs in the 1940s.
Griffith was director of the KU Center of Latin American Studies for five years before retiring in 1975.

Blasting caps found near historic site, pose no danger
TOPEKA—Bomb technicians were
called to an alley near the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site after a blasting cap was found, police said.
Topeka police bomb technician Sgt. Kevin Miller said a volunteer with the Monroe neighborhood cleanup efforts found a device used to detonate explosives Saturday.
The finding shouldn't raise security concerns for the historic site, Miller said.
The former Monroe School, will be dedicated May 17 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court's school desegregation decision.
Miller said the device could have come from an old construction site and that is not uncommon for citizens to find old blasting caps.
Bomb technicians later found three more blasting caps that appeared to be old and corroded in an area where a property owner was removing old railroad tracks.
The property owner and bomb technicians removed dirt to look for additional blasting caps,but none were found.
If residents find a blasting cap, police warned them not to touch it because blasting caps can deteriorate and become unstable as they age.

Legislature debates raising speed limit to 75 mph on I-70
SALINA — Paul Britow doesn't care if Kansas raises the speed limit to 75 mph on parts of Interstate 70. He wouldn't drive his rig that fast anyway.
"I drive 68 or 69 all the time. It doesn't matter what the speed limit is," said Bristow, a truck driver from Denver who stopped on a recent day at Salina's Flying J Travel Plaza for fuel and a shower.
"The thing I see in Kansas is that everybody drives 75 anyway — especially in cars. Trucks seem to stay about 70 or less."
Bristow owns his truck and drives the Denver-Kansas City route a couple of times a week.
Whatever the speed limit is, he said the state should enforce it strictly so that some vehicles don't go 20 mph faster than others.
A bill that has cleared both chambers of the Kansas Legislature authorizes a 75 mph maximum on rural highways with grass or concrete dividers — in other words, on parts off-1 and I-35.
But the two chambers disagreed on how much of a "buffer" to allow before a speeding ticket went onto a driver's record.
The House bill has a 10-mph buffer, so that getting stopped for driving 84
mph in a 75 mph zone wouldn't count on a driving record. The Senate version sets the buffer at 5 mph.
Legislative negotiations on the bill have stalled, and lawmakers are on a recess that ends when they return April 28 to wrap up their business for the year.
"Anything is possible on anything at this point," said Senate Transportation Committee Chairman Les Donovan (R-Wichita). "We have ways of resurrecting the dead."
Donovan said that if the bill does not pass this year, it's likely to come back next year but tied to a proposal to strengthen the state's seat-belt law.

Group celebrates unity
Black Student Union presents week to encourage love, diversity
By Jodie Krafft
jkrafft@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Black Student Union will show where the love is this week as they launch "Black Love...what are you scared of?", the theme of this year's Black Love Week.
According to the organization's Web site, this week will celebrate black love and unity through different events such as talent shows, guest speakers and community work.
Jeff Dugas, Chicago sophomore and co-programs chairman of the organization, said for him, black love meant support, particularly among families.
"I look at BSU as a family because we're sticking together and trying to see each other succeed," he said.
But Black Love Week is not limited to one particular group. Dugas said.
All students are invited to attend this week's events to have fun and learn more about other groups.
The organization has celebrated
Black Love Week for several years but there were different events each year. Dugas said.
For example, Friday's Mr. Black Love competition is a new event organized by freshman members.
Rona Remmie, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, said Friday's competition would have four components: casual wear, formal wear, a talent show and a question-and-answer session.
"We wanted to do something different that would interest people outside the community." Remmie said. "People haven't seen this kind of thing around KU."
Remmie said the deadline to apply for the competition is tomorrow, and those interested can visit the Office of Multicultural Affairs, 145 Strong, or the Multicultural Resource Center, 1530 Summerfield Dr., for a sign-up form.
"It's important because you spend time with different people in the community throughout the week," Dugas said. "You want to give something back."

Campus elections to include 4 referendums
By Sama Khan and Azita Tafreshi skhan@kansan.com and atafreshi@kansan.com Kansan staff writers
Students will have the opportunity to vote on four referendums during campus elections on Wednesday and Thursday. The proposed legislation affects student fees and campus voting.
Students can only vote online for campus elections at campus polling sites. Referendum A would allow students at any computer connected to the Internet to log in and vote.
Student Senate Voting
Brian Thomas, University Affairs committee member, said online voting would increase voter turnout. He said turnout has increased from five to 25 percent at other universities that have implemented the system.
"When you have more people participating in a democracy, you have more people looking at the issues, caring about the issues and getting involved," he said.
Iohnson, engineering senator.
Privacy and voter fraud are a concerns with a new system.
"I just see lots of students losing their ability to vote for whoever they choose because they'll be strongly influenced by who they live with," said Kyle
Referendum B would remove the physical polling sites from campus.
Study Abroad Fee
Referendum C would add $4 each semester and $2 in the summer to student fees. This money would create more than 800 study abroad scholarships in four years.
Inconsistent donor contributions fund many of the study abroad scholarships. Ashlee Reid, cochairwoman of the International Affairs Committee, said a money pool would allow more students to study abroad. She said this would benefit the entire University.
"It increases the value of a KU degree, which is important for everybody," she said.
Opposition to the bill is against raising fees during tuition increases and economic concerns. Casey Collier, hold-over student senator and multicultural affairs committee member, supports the idea of study abroad and scholarships but not is against students paying for other students' scholarships.
Environmental Fee
A $2 per semester student fee is already in place for campus environmental improvement and Referendum D proposes increasing it to $3. The additional money
would pay for student employees hired through Facilities and Operations and planned projects including more on-campus recycling sites and recycling trailers for event and game days.
The money would also be used to build a new on-campus recycling center in a few years.
Nick Sterner, freshman/sophomore CLAS senator, said the recycling efforts would be cheaper than the price the University pays to dump every ton of trash and would allow the University to catch up to the recycling efforts of other Big 12 Conference schools.

ONTHEBALLOT
Four referendums needing student approval will be on the ballot Wednesday and Thursday. Online Voting
Referendum A: Online Voting.
Instead of going to on-campus polling sites, students would vote from any computer connected to the Internet.
Referendum B: Polling Sites. Physical polling sites would be removed from campus.

Referendum C: Study Abroad

Good platforms from both coalitions
Although the Editorial Board for The University Daily Kansan will only endorse one coalition, both KUnited and Delta Force have relevant platform issues that will contribute to the good of the University. Elements of the platform are
important to recognize.
Regardless, if the coalition system that has become a party system is to survive, both KUnited and Delta Force should work together to ensure the promotion of these student services within their bounds of student government. To assure accountability, which is a popular term in both parties, the partisanship must end. Get things done for the students, and then accessorize our backpacks with buttons.
Both the Delta Force and KUnited coalitions have relevant platforms which would benefit the University.
OURVIEW
KUnited advocates a switch from gasoline to eco-friendly biodiesel fuel for campus busses. Student Senate is in the unique position to do this because it is the only Student Senate-run campus bus system in the nation. But in campaigning, the tradition has been that coalitions promise next year's successes. This is a longer project than one year, and coalitions should let students know how long it will take.
Running on an environmentallyfocused platform as well, Delta Force
wants to initiate a curbside recycling program in student neighborhoods. This would involve citywide support, new sources of funding and eventually more work than any student senator could do. Delta Force should devote its energy toward campus recycling improvements.
Delta Force's campusoriented plans include increased street lighting on popular campus paths. This is a welcome platform issue, especially because it doesn't promise more blue phones, a typical platform promise for both sides. Although the

Delta Force also promises moving University Career and Employment Services, 110 Burge Union, to a more accessible location, such as Strong Hall. The coalition hopes this will offset student debt by helping graduates get jobs. Although it is unlikely a new location for the services would "offset student debt," University Career and Employment Services is vital to the success of graduates and needs to be

GUEST COMMENTARY
It was October 1981. A year earlier, rising tensions between Iran under the Ayatollah Khomeini and Iraq under Saddam Hussein had erupted into a bloody conflict that would kill thousands, drag on for eight years and threaten the stability of the entire Middle East.
Representatives of nearly every Gulf nation, including the two then at war, had gathered to debate the causes of the war, discuss its long-term implications and argue for specific solutions.

opinion@kansan.com
I they were not meeting in Geneva, or at the United Nations, or as part of some secretly-arranged summit. They were future business, professional and political leaders of their countries, and were in the basement of McCollum Hall, eating supper in what was then a cafeteria for McCollum residents. They were University of Kansas international students, graduates and undergraduate students, seated around a big table, debating the war between bites and on into the evening.
I lived in McCollum with them, and thus had the opportunity — the privilege — of sharing residence hall food with
them and sitting in on their debates, not only that evening but many others as well. Only years later did I realize what a tremendous learning experience that was, the kind of experience that cannot be had in a classroom.
It has been my good fortune to sit at tables like that in many places. As an undergrad in the late '70s I became friends with the first group of students from the People's Republic of China to attend Kansas State University, and began studying Chinese with one of them as my tutor. I learned a great deal from talking with them, then talking with my Taiwanese buddies, and then watching
the two groups cross paths, a phenomenon that had been impossible for nearly three decades beforehand. In the early '80s I shared residence hall food at Beijing University with students I couldn't have met at the University of Kansas.
My circle of friends at "Bei Da" included Russians, East Germans, Poles and Czechs. I even had the incredibly rare opportunity (for an American) of talking with a North Korean. It was a rich learning experience, not just talking with these students, but watching them, especially the North Koreans in their identical uniforms, all wearing Kim II Sung buttons, always under the watchful eyes of their group leaders. All this in the context of daily lessons in applied economics as I experienced first-hand what life was like under Chinese socialism. What classroom substitute is there for something like that?
I cannot imagine how different my undergraduate and graduate experiences, not to mention my professional life and basic understanding of the world, would have been if there had been no international students at Kansas
State University or the University of Kansas. Too many American students fail to recognize the precious opportunity they have during college to get to know people from around the world.
It is alarming that so few American students pursue opportunities to study abroad while they have the opportunity, before families and jobs must be factored in.
One has to wonder how differently the war on terrorism might have been conducted if our administration had possessed a more nuanced understanding of political, historical and religious realities in the Middle East. One can't help but wonder what might have been if our leadership had grasped the historical significance of that remarkable window of time after Sept. 11, when citizens from scores of countries came forward to place flowers and candles at the gates of U.S. embassies around the world. What an opportunity. Now, however, feelings directed toward our embassies are rather different. Our decision-makers had degrees, but they didn't know the world.
This is International Awareness Week
at the University. Attend the events, especially World Expo on Friday afternoon and the Festival of Nations Friday night. Read Joseph Nye's book Soft Power. Ask your department to help counter the decline in applications from international students.
While you're at it, challenge your department to integrate more opportunities for study abroad. Talk to the Office of Study Abroad about ways you might work time abroad into your academic plan. If you aren't friends with anyone from another country, do something about that. While you're at it, you might as well call 864-7265 and talk to Jane Irungu. She's the new coordinator of the Global Awareness Program, or GAP, and can tell you how to get certification on your transcript for international experiences.
Getting a degree is one thing. Learning about the world is something else entirely. Do your best to do both before you leave the University.
Joe Potts is the director of the International Student and Scholar Services at the University of Kansas.
PERSPECTIVE
Being educated doesn't always mean having good sense
...in the hushed academies, your murmur will applaud the wisdom of a thousand quacks. For theirs is the kingdom. — John Fearing, poet
Sometimes academics possess more education than sense. Nowhere is this more evident than in the loony world of postmodernism.
GUEST COMMENTARY
(1)
In case you don't know, according to the postmodern school of thought, logic and rationality are just tools for white people to oppress people with. And words don't have actual meanings beyond the hidden, endlessly subjective messages they contain. Everything is just a matter of "perspective" which is inextricably tied to one's gender, class, race, sexual orientation, etc.
"Where there are so many culturally constructed truths there is no truth," writes Myron Magnet of Fortune magazine. That is precisely the point.
Arrah Nielsen opinion@kansan.com
Couple the pedantic wordiness of a postmodern academic with the irru-
tionality of a plastered sorority girl and you get sentences like the following from Jacques Derrida's Of Grammatology: "Does not thinking seek forever to clamp a dressing over the gaping and violent wound of the impossibility of thought?" Hmm, well, interesting point.
For those of you who aren't familiar with the nonsensical scribblings of postmodern writers, here's a sampling from Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy; "Seeing before me a cat on a mat directly causes me to truly believe that
There's a good reason why humanities departments are awash with postmodernists but they are conspicuously absent from, say, the School of Engineering. Engineers are constrained by reality and the laws of the thermodynamics. But humanities professors are free to float whatever absurd, postmodern crapola suits their fancy. Fortunately for them, there's a safety net for over-nourished, mediocre, professor types. It's called tenure.
the cat is on the mat. Such causation, though, falls desperately short of the call for the epistemic evidence that epistemically justifies beliefs." While people in the real world solve actual problems and meet bottom lines, postmodern scholars quibble about whether the cat is on the mat. A gem like the cat on the mat piece is too deliciously daffy for anyone but a postmodernist to have come up with.
It's easy to dismiss the postmodernists as a kooky bunch, and the truth is no one but other postmodernists gives a fig
about their philosophy. However, they have been destructive to the extent that people have bought into their way of thinking. It wasn't a coincidence that Paul De Man and Martin Heidegger — two of postmodernism's all-stars — were willing Nazi collaborators. It was a logical extension of their nihilistic philosophy. Is it any wonder that De Man, who wrote viciously anti-Semitic, pro-Nazi articles went on to espouse a philosophy that insists that everything is relative and words have no determinate meaning?
Some ideas are so exceptionally stupid, silly and false that they don't deserve serious consideration in a university, anymore than Holocaust deniers deserve serious consideration in the history department. Postmodernism, a philosophy that "effectively levels all theories" as Mark Goldblatt of The National Review puts it, certainly fits this bill.
A philosophy that denies the concept of objective truth and provides no framework to judge some ideas and theories as
more accurate than others is a philosophy that cannot even draw a moral distinction between Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the evil demons trying to rule the people of Sunnydale. If all truths are mere cultural constructs, then the viewpoints of Holocaust deniers and racists are every bit as legitimate as their counterparts.
That the truth is sometimes difficult to unravel and often misconstrued does not mean we should abandon it. A flight from reason and logic won't "empower" anybody. Nor will abandoning the quest for reason and truth. Relativism run amok is not likely to yield worthwhile scholarship or lucid writings, and for that reason postmodernism should be rejected.
Their emperor is naked but the postmodernists have yet to notice. Sometimes the wise men are the biggest fools of all.

AME: Sometimes gamers get more than they bargain for
C
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Gamers battled in a LAN party at AdrenaLAN this fall. LAN parties bring players together at one location to compete on a single server, optimizing the speed of game play.
Adventures of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., RBI Baseball and Tecmo Superbowl.
Kary said he had met lots of friends playing games on the Internet over the years, and they talk about more than just gaming.
Like Kary, Josh Mayhle, Seattle senior, also enjoys playing Counter-Strike and other games online. He said he had made friends from New York and Pennsylvania.
"I've actually met some people that go to KU in person," Mayhle said. "Also, I've met people in class that I realized I have played Counter-Strike with."
He said the team atmosphere of Counter-Strike made it a popular pick with gamers.
"It's just more dynamic. You never really play the same game twice. It's more fun to interact with people than it is a machine," he said.
Playing video games can have rewards besides making friends. In March, Ben Thompson, Wichita senior, competed in a nationwide online tournament for the Sony PlayStation 2 game NCAA Final Four 2004 sponsored by Mr. Youth LLC, a marketing company in New York.
As a result of making it to the championship game, Thompson won an all expense paid trip to Panama City, Fla., where the gaming championship was being held. He won the championship and a year's supply of games and hardware from Sony.
Level 2—Places
"I was joking with my dad that all the years I played as a kid are paying off." Thompson said.
AdrenaLAN is the only Local Area Network gaming center in Lawrence, but there are others in Kansas including Game Cube, 20110 W. 151st St. in Olathe and CyberLANd of Goodland, 210 E. 17th St. in Goodland.
Local Area Network gaming centers allow gamers to compete against each other in the confines of one building, hooked up to the same network. Gamers can communicate easily and because they are all on the same network,the games can run smoothly.
Tim Newman, a graduate student at the University of Kansas in computer engineering, started AdrenaLAN last June.
"I knew there was a load of gamers around here," Newman said. "I've seen pictures from other ones and they looked cool, so I started it."
He said the crowd that came in was usually about 60 percent high school students and 40 percent KU students. Weekends are the most popular — Friday and Saturday nights usually draw about 30 people each.
"We definitely have a lot of regulars who constantly come in the same days of the week," he said. There are about eight to 10 of them who come in about 20 hours each week. Kary plays video games about 10 to 15 per week, but not always at AdrenaLAN.
Newman works about 35 to 40 hours a week at AdrenaLAN and plays games about three hours a day.
He said the only game he ever played was Counter-Strike.
Playing a lot of video games annoyed his parents when he was younger, and now it annoys his wife.
"What can I say? My husband is a gamer. I have to live with him everyday," said Rebecca Newman.
But for Newman and many other gamers, playing is a necessity.
"I definitely think they are adicting. I'm hoping they are," he said, referring to his business. Newman charges $3.50 per hour or $20 for an all-day pass to use AdrenaLAN's gaming systems.
Dylan Brooks, Topeka senior,
agreed with Newman.
"If you get too involved with it, it can be all you do," Brooks said. "You can't necessarily blame video games though, because it could be that way with any other hobby. If you get really involved with something, the rest of your life could suffer because of it."
Level 3 — Addiction
The main problem for video game addicts is not that they are playing games, but rather they are missing out on other activities because they are playing games so much, said Maresa Hecht Orzack, clinical psychologist and director of the Computer Addiction Study Center at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Mass.
Sne said people who got addicted to video games often missed out on social activities and physical interaction.
Most people who play games can start and stop whenever they want, but about 10 to 15 percent became addicted, Orzack said. About two people a day go to her seeking help for video game addiction.
Most of the time people who get addicted to a game have something stressful going on in their life, so they play to avoid dealing with it, she said. Orzack discovered this from personal
experience. She said she started playing Solitaire on her computer to avoid dealing with a stressful Listserv at work and she eventually became addicted.
Because she had treated other types of addictions before, she knew how to remedy it. She forced herself to play for a set amount of time rather than play to win. Setting a time interval is one of the suggestions Orzack gives to video game addicts when they come to her for treatment.
"I found myself playing it more and more when I got frustrated with other stuff I was doing," she said.
Another treatment method she uses is cognitive behavior therapy, which teaches the patient to identify the problem, to solve the problem and learn coping skills to prevent relapse.
Orzack runs a 16-week support group for addicted gamers in which she tries to teach them to do other things, but said it was difficult because video game addictions didn't have the same social stigmas that other types of addictions had.
"People think it's cool to play games and they don't want to admit they have problems," she said.
Instead, it's common for students addicted to video games to blame it on other things such as difficult classes at school, she said.
Boredom is a big reason people become addicted to video games, but it is also common for people to get hooked while coming off of another addiction. People often start playing video games in place of addictions, such as smoking or drinking, and then get addicted to the games themselves, she said.
"I've heard people call it 'Counter-Crack,'" he said. "I've heard of people quitting the game because it interfered with their schooling and social life.
One of the games most notorious for forming addictions was Counter-Strike, Kary said.
But they usually come back "
Another game whose name is often linked to addictions is EverQuest, or "EverCrack," as some people call it, an online role-playing game.
One person who has seen an extreme case of video game addiction is Elizabeth Woolley.
Woolley, Hudson, Wis., resident, blames EverQuest for the suicide of her 21-year-old son, Shawn. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, she said Shawn, who killed himself in 2001, became so engrossed with the game that he quit his job and ignored his family. He was playing for up to 12 hours every day, and the game was causing him to have seizures because he was epileptic, she said.
"When I was going through his addiction with him, there was no one to help me," she said. "I thought we were the only ones this happened to."
But as Woolley explored the topic further, she realized there were many others who shared her same complaints.
"It was an underground epidemic and nobody was talking about it." she said.
Inr EverQuest, players go on quests where they gather treasure, kill monsters and engage with other people's characters.
One of the reasons EverQuest and other fantasy role-playing games are so addicting is because the game never ends, Orzack said. The percentage of people who become addicted is higher than 10 to 15 percent in never-ending games, she said.
Woolley started an online gamers anonymous support group, www.olganon.org, in May 2002, which has a 12-step process patterned after Alcoholics Anonymous for addicted gamers. The group has over 1,200 members.
Newman, AdrenaLAN owner,
doesn't play EverQuest himself,
but said he knew that a lot of people
were addicted to it. He said
the game could get quite costly
because there was a $9.99
monthly fee to play it.
Online games such as Counter-Strike, EverQuest and Unreal Tournament put great demands on computer hardware AdrenaLAN, 833 Ohio St. stocks its computers with 2.4-gigahertz Pentium 4 processors and 128-megabyte GeForce4 MX440 video cards.
"People definitely burn a lot of money playing that," he said.
Playing long hours into the night often can affect gamers physically and mentally.
Level4—Effects
"I think I've had Counter-Strike dreams before," Mayhle said. "I used to see terrorists around corners, but I'd say that's more mental than physical."
Newman said his hand suffered the most from his playing
"I've got a big callous on my hand from using the mouse so much," he said.
There can be good effects from playing video games, Mayhle said.
"Different types of games exercise different skills," he said. "Role-playing games like the Final Fantasy series help develop critical thinking skills."
He said that games such as *Tetris* and *Snood* helped to build

pattern recognition and spatial skills.
Orzack is more skeptical. She said that although some video games may help develop hand/eye coordination, there were usually few good effects from constant playing.
As much as gamers spend time playing the games they love, it is still possible to have a life outside of the game world, Newman said.
"I play a lot and I still go out all the time," he said.
Newman, who said he enjoyed reading and spending time with his wife, said video games couldn't be blamed for causing someone to have no social life.
"It's the person. Even if they weren't playing games they would find something else to do, like reading." he said.
Mayhle agreed that the games shouldn't be the ones blamed.
"I can see how any sort of offline gaming would inhibit social skills because some people certainly do become obsessed with them," he said. "But it depends more on the person than the game."
Orzack said many games were set up to be addicting, but there was controversy over whether the games could be the only ones blamed.
Level 5 Education
Johnson County Community College in Overland Park is capitalizing on students' interest in
video games. This January, the college began to offer a video game course, Game 101, which teaches students the skills to create their own video game.
The course uses a variety of game development software to give students the feel of creating real games without programming, said Phil Wallack, associate professor of computer information systems at JCCC.
"The games created can be quite complex and enjoyable with sound effects, background music and player lives." Wallack said.
The course is popular. The college is offering five sections this spring and all have been filled to capacity. About 90 students are enrolled.
About 30 universities around the country offer video game courses, but JCCC is the first school in the Kansas City area to offer one.
Kary, a film major, said that he had other hobbies besides playing games, such as watching movies.
"Movies and video games usually go hand in hand. I think they are both an escape from the real world."
That escape is the reason Kary said he would play video games long into the future.
"My kids are definitely going to have a type of video game system," he said. "I'll probably be a gamer for life."

Traditional poetry revised
Slam poets create outspoken alternative to 'coffee-shop readings'
By Ron Knox
rknox@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
In my version of heaven — Steve Fonseca screams this from the stage at The Jazzhaus — Robert Frost will be slit with Hallmark greeting cards and bathed in saltwater.
And he says this at, of all places a poetry reading.
Slit Robert Frost? Why so harsh?
The longer you listen, the clearer it becomes.
They scream profanity-laced tirades, poke fun at the audience, get heckled and like it. One poet, Lawrence resident Jacob Huff, swings from The Jazzhaus' amplifiers while cursing at the audience as a whole.
During The Jazzhaus' monthly poetry slam, performers do everything in their power to distance themselves from the traditional poetry that poets such as Frost embody.
And as the rants go on, it becomes clearer: these poets aren't just trying to distance themselves from traditional poetry — they, Huff said, can't stand it.
--poetry.
Cassandre Connolly, New York senior, performed at the Jazzhaus Poetry Slam. The Jazzhaus, 9261/2 Massachusetts St., holds poetry readings the first Wednesday of every month.
Jeff Brandsted/Kansan
"If this is a story about poetry, forget it," Fonseca said. "I'm not even interested."
Fonseca organizes the Slam at the Jazzhaus, which is held during the first Wednesday of every month, starts at about 10 p.m. and goes on, getting louder and louder, until the bar closes.
But he's not just the organizer — he's the emcee, the rrabler-rouser between acts who's meant, if nothing else, to be loud and expressive enough to get The Jazzhaus' crowd to stop talking amongst themselves and listen.
"This isn't a coffee shop reading. Any idiot can get a thesaurus and think they're a poet. This takes balls."
This is the main problem with what Fonseca calls "coffee-shop poetry" — that no one outside of academia really wants to listen to the dull tones and hushed phrases of typical

"This isn't a coffee-shop reading." he said.
That's why this month, Fonseca dropped the word "poetry" from the Slam altogether.
Now, Fonseca's monthly show will feature more comics and hip-hop freestylists.
"Any idiot can get a thesaurus and think they're a poet," he says. "This takes balls."
fines, it tends to appeal to an older crowd," he said.
"Some days I want to [...] go back to writing/iambic pentameter/ and show the world/what an unskilled dancer/lam."
- Micky Cesar, pretty poems
Micky Cesar doesn't scream.
He ambles up to the stage, sets his sheets of typed poetry on the music stand, and reads them.
No shouting.
No flailing or hanging from The Lazzyhaus'amplifiers.
"I usually do better at coffee-shop readings," Cesar said. "You're not going to get anything flashy from me."
He just reads.
Cesar understands what the typical slam poetry reading should be: flashy, raw, packed with emotion.
"It's kind of like an action movie." he said.
Cesar reads his poems at coffee shops and smaller, more intimate venues, but he knows The Jazzhaus' slams provides him an audience that he wouldn't have otherwise.
That's why he's been reading there for two years.
"When you read in quiet confines, it tends to appeal to an older crowd," he said.
Megan McHenry, who has read and helped organize The Jazzhaus slams for more than two years, has one word to describe coffee house readings: Yawn.
"Being in coffee shops doesn't cut it for me at all," she said.
For people who didn't appreciate the poetry they read in school, slams are a place to express their versions of what poetry should be, in whatever manner they see fit, McHenry said.
眼
Debora Marsh has probably heard more slam poetry than anyone in the world.
She is vice president of Poetry Slam, the non-profit group charged with organizing slam poets and events around the world.
She has been coach of the Ann Arbor, Mich., poetry slam team since 1991 and has competed in different countries around the world.
She has watched the art grow since its inception more than 20 years ago as a way to get poetry out of stuff lecture halls and into bars, she said.
Although the gap between academic and slam poetry is narrowing, she said, she knows a problem still exists.
"There's still a lot of disdain out there," Marsh said. "Academia didn't understand slam poetry. They thought it was nothing more than rap music."
But at some point during slam poetry's evolution, things began to change.
Slam poets began publishing books.
And, Marsh said, academics tend to pay more attention when something is written down, instead of yelled from stages in
bars.
Now, many slam poets are in academia, she said. It's being taught in classes, and read in the same stuffy lecture halls that typically house traditional poetry readings.
After almost a decade of dissonance, the change has started to bridge the gap between the two genres.
"The lines are really very blurry now." Marsh said.
But in the office catacombs of Wesco Hall, it's taking longer for
the two genres to unite, said Joe Harrington, English professor and author of Poetry in the Public.
"It's happening to some extent, but it takes a while for the culture to find it's way here," he said.
Slam poetry is a popular movement, Harrington said, something that's important to America because it speaks to the people.
"That's part of the complaint against academic poetry, that it's
elitist." Harrington said. "Is it? Maybe."
But, Hartingon says, poetry is something so dear to poets and their audiences, anything different is often perceived as wrong or unnecessary.
"Poetry represents the highest form of culture for people," he said. "If someone is trying to define something so close to your heart you don't agree with, there will be this distaste."

Third face-off in history for KUnited, Delta Force
By Andy Marso
amarso@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Delta Force and KUnited will face off for the third year in a row in this week's elections, extending what has become one of the longest-running Student Senate rivalries in recent memory.
Delta Force was formed by Jason Fizell and Matt Caldwell in February of 1997. Senate had been dominated by members of KU's greek community while Delta Force brought in a crowd of mainly older, off-campus students.
LAKERS
on-campus stations.
Twenty-two of Delta Force's 33 candidates for Senate seats won in the coalition's first year. Fizell and Delta Force's next three presidential candidates didn't win, but the coalition was increasing its presence in Senate. The group championed issues such as recycling and the construction of a new child care center in its early years. Since then,
floor-to-floor recycling in the residence halls and the Hilltop Child Development Center have become realities.

Delta Force's influence reached its peak in 2001 when

Justin Mills and Kyle Browning won a shocking victory to give Delta Force presidential control of the Senate for the first time.
relief funds.
During his term as president, Mills fought to prevent credit card companies from soliciting students on campus and organized students to fight against tuition increases. He and Browning also focused on national and international issues. Browning fought for fair-trade coffee to be sold in the Union, and Mills led a fundraising campaign that brought in $30,000 for Sept. 11

"We wanted to use our power at the top to help people all over the place," said Mills, who is now a student at KU Medical Center.
Mills and Browning had
defeated Jessica Bankston and Hunter Harris of theVOICE coalition to win office. They won by just 39 votes, but Senate elections haven't been the same since.
haven tucked the saddle
Until that year, Delta Force had
run against a series of coalitions
with different names but mostly
greek candidates. After Mills' victory,
Jonathan Ng, who ran with
VOICE the year before, formed
KUnited.
Rohmeh Ng focused his campaign on diversity and issues relevant to campus. Ng said he thought Senate
focused too much on issues outside of its influence during Mills' administration. He and his running mate, Loren Malone, campaigned mainly on campus issues such as increasing diversity.
They formed a group of candidates that was a mix between veterans of the VOICE campaign and leaders of student organizations with no Senate experience.
Ngand Malone were successful defeating their Delta Force counterparts by more than 800 votes. Since then, KUinited has been the dominant fixture in Senate.
The coalition increased its control of the Senate the year after Ng's election, Andy Knopp and Catherine Bell retained the presidency and vice presidency for KUnited, winning the 2003 election by more than 1,100 votes. KUnited candidates won 49 of the 67 open Senate positions.
positions. NgsaidhewasproudofKUnited accomplishments that included
getting a new Multicultural Resource Center approved, helping with the transition of KU Info and making sure there was student input on how tuition was spent. He said it was important to establish another permanent coalition.
"We've established a group that's ongoing and can carry through major programs on campus," Ng said. "It's consistency versus turnover, and the ultimate winners are students."
Ng, who now works in the University's Admissions Office, said he was pleased that KUinted continued to involve students from different parts of campus, including this year's presidential candidate. Steve Munch, who lives in a scholarship hall.
Delta Force supporters are hoping Blake Swenson, who lives off-campus, can defeat Munch this week and become just the second Delta Force member to win the presidency in the coali-

Amy Cummins, Lawrence graduate student, was a senator with Delta Force from 1998-2000. In the spring of 2001, she served another two years in Senate. She said she was inspired by the group's grassroots activism and added that even though Delta Force hadn't won many presidential elections, it had still had an impact on Senate.
sun had an impulse.
"I think Delta Force has succeeded because all the coalitions are concerned about things like diversity now." Cummins said.
"The apathy, at least within Senate, is gone."
Student Senate elections will be held Wednesday and Thursday. Students may vote from any on-campus computer lab or at polling stations located in front of Wescoe Hall, Mrs. E's, GSP-Corbin Hall and the Student Fitness Recreation Center.

DUNLAP: Candidate has held many jobs
CONTINUED FROM 1A
On Dunlap's first day he was moving a Ford F-150 pickup truck off the service ramp when disaster struck. Instead of backing straight off of the ramp, Dunlap turned the wheel. Two wheels went off the ramp, and the truck fell and got stuck.
The mechanics had a good laugh and Dunlap learned a hard lesson.
"My future's not in car portering," he said.
Dunlap was better suited for his job as Charles Jones' personal assistant. Jones was a man in his 70s who was a patient of Dunlap's father and 1 family friend. Jones was in poor health and had no surviving family, so he paid Dunlap — who was 15 years old at the time — to help him out.
The two bridged the generation gap, and their relationship became more of a friendship than a job. Dunlap taught Jones how to use a computer, and Jones taught Dunlap to drive.
On Sundays, Dunlap and Jones would cruise around Leawood. Dunlap drove and Jones explained the town's history.
Dunlap maintained his friendship with Jones after he left for college. Jones passed away this summer at the age of 76.
"I found out there's a ton of people at KU that are closet Tolkien fans and it's cool to get them all together."
Jeff Dunlap KUnited vice presidential candidate
The last few years Dunlap has concentrated less on work and more on Senate. Ashlee Reid, CLAS senator, met Dunlap during the KUnited campaign last year and the two quickly became friends.
"He knew when to have fun and when to work really hard," Reid said.
Dunlap also knew how to take a joke. When he fell asleep early at Reid's birthday party this year he awoke with Delta Force slogans written all over his face.
"He walked around with pen on his face for an hour and a half before one of his fraternity brothers told him," Reid said. "Jeff thought it was hilarious and well-deserved."
Reid said that over the year and a-half they've known each other, Dunlap's personality has continued to surprise her.
"All of a sudden, after I've known him for seven months, I find out he's this closet Lord of the Rings fanatic," Reid said. "He's read it a bunch of times and he's even memorized parts."
Reid decided to give Dunlap a unique gift for Christmas. She registered The Fellowship of the Ring as an official KU organization and gave Dunlap a certificate naming him president.
Dunlap took the gift and ran with it.
He has hosted meetings and invited professors to speak about the books and their author J.R.R. Tolkien.
"I found out there's a ton of people at KU that are closest Tolkien, fans and it's cool to get them all together." Dunlap said.
Justin Roberts, Overland Park junior, has been a friend of Dunlap's since high school, and now the two are members of Delta Upsilon.
He's joined Dunlap in many social events, but said Dunlap hasn't tried to convince him to come to a Fellowship of the Ring meeting.
"He's not a Lord of the Rings evangelist or anything," Roberts said.

Each expected the other one would drive, but McKenzie's car was in the shop and Ross had loaned her car to her sister.
Their first date got off to a difficult start.
When Ross could to ask when McKenzie was picking her up, the two went into scramble mode.
They ended up borrowing McKenzie's brother's car, which was a stick shift. He couldn't drive it, so she had the added pressure of trying to drive his brother's car on their first date.
He made it up to her on Valentine's Day. They'd had a fight the week before and she made other plans for the weekend, which she told him he'd have to work around.
MCKENZIE: Candidate balances personal life
Rather than being bitter about it, McKenzie came through. He cooked her dinner, watched Casablanca with her and even went to a dance party with her and her friends.
"He doesn't dance at all, so it was a good compromise," Ross said.
McKenzie is a music fanatic, with more than 500 CDs that span many genres and generations. But he has an easy time compromising on music with both Ross and his roommate, Christie Moses, Topeka sophomore.
McKenzie is a music fanatic, with more than 500 CDs that span many genres and generations. But
he has an easy time compromising on music with both Ross and his roommate, Christie Moses, Topeka sophomore.
Ross prefers modern music especially indie rock,but has gladly let McKenzie introduce her to some older music.
Moses said she usually made things easy by just picking something she liked out of McKenzie's vast collection. But there's one band they can't just agree on.
McKenzie also had to compromise when Moses brought her dog, Sassy, a greyhound mix, when they moved in this year.
"I hate Phish and he loves Phish." Moses said.
"There's definitely friction with the pet." McKenzie said. "It's really
an ugly, annoying dog."
McKenzie and Sassy didn't get off to a very good start. While they were still moving in, Moses was gone and Sassy got loose.
Moses said she knew better than to chase a dog that's part greyhound. But McKenzie didn't learn until after that day.
He chased Sassy for about a mile and a half, weaving in and out of traffic.
"It was like the dog was taunting me the entire way," McKenzie said. "She'd stop and wait for me to come within five feet and then she'd take off again."
By the time McKenzie caught the dog he was so worn out that he decided to stop at a friend's house nearby to get a ride home.
"For a lot of people it would have been like a warm-up for their regular workout, but running is not an everyday part of my life." McKenzie said.
Since then McKenzie and Sassy have learned to live together, and Moses insists that his tough talk about the dog is just a front.
"I've caught them snugglings or napping together on the couch and he'll be like, 'She jumped up here, I didn't put her up here,'" Moses said.

Munch was positive and spoke more than the other three candidates last week but said he wasn't sure how today's debate would be.
"I guess it really depends on what students want to hear about," Munch said. "Hopefully it will be a nice mix of things. When we visit student organizations we usually talk about the issues, but if students have questions about personal experience and leadership issues, I think those are valid."
Students who can't be at Wescoe at noon can still hear from the candidates tomorrow night, but not in debate form. The scholarship halls are hosting their annual Know Your Mate event at 8 tonight at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
The event pits the coalitions against each other in a Newlywed game-style contest to see which candidates know their partners better. This is the first year that the scholarship halls have attempted to make the contest a University-wide event.

PRIDE: Week runs through Saturday's 'Rally on Massachusetts Street'
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Joe Kort, psychotherapist and author of 10 Smart Things Gay Men Can Do To Make Their Lives Better will speak Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Centennial Room in the Kansas Union. Manning said Kort's workshop will focus on how gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals tend to harbor feelings guilt and resentment toward themselves, referred to as internalized homophobia.
Manning said he considered this the week's most important event.
Friday's activities will include
the 11th Annual Brown Bag Drag Show, the GLBT Dance, followed by the second Annual Queer Awards. The Queer Awards feature eight awards to recognize the efforts of activism, scholarship, and leadership in the queer community in Lawrence. The main award is the Robinson Award, named after Christine Robinson, who won last year's Queer of the Year Award. Manning said the award commemorates the "renaissance" individual who represents the queer community in a wide array of areas in Lawrence.
The winner also receives a $250
stipend. Both the dance and the awards show start at 7 p.m. at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries.
Saturday will be the final day of Pride Week, beginning with the Pride March and Rally on Massachusetts Street. Manning said those interested in the march should start lining up at South Park downtown at 12:30 p.m. The march will end at Watson Park, just north of the Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center, near 6th and Kentucky.
Manning said the march was a special event for Pride Week, especially because it is the first march for people who have recently come out about their sexuality. Manning said seeing their excitement was the best part of the week.
The final event of Pride Week is the Queer Comedy Night, two hours of stand-up comedy, plays and skits written by KU students.
"It's going to make a great night for everyone," Manning said. "You don't have to be queer to enjoy it."

Kansas gives up 37 runs during weekend series

Texas A&M struck fast and hard in the first game of this weekend's series.
The Aggies belted out seven runs in the first two innings of game one and never let up offensively for the rest of the weekend.
the weekends. The Aggies showed why they were the No.15-ranked team in the country. A final score of 14-4 in game one was the largest margin of defeat for the Jayhawks this season. Kansas coach Ritch Price was frustrated with the team's performance against the Big 12 Conference opponent.
"If you don't come ready to play in this conference you're going to get humiliated." Price said.
Following the loss, senior Ryan Baty promised a better performance in the next game and the team delivered. The Jayhawks fell to the Aggies by four runs in game two, but the defense and pitching were much more solid.
"We were pleased with the effort, just not the result," Baty said.
The 'Hawks did not commit an error in game two behind starting pitcher Chris Smart. Smart, senior right-hander, held the Aggies hitless through the first three innings of play and did not allow a run until the fifth.
The game was tied at 0-0 until a controversial call in the fifth inning. With two outs, the umpire ruled that Baty pulled his foot off the base and Texas A&M's John Infante was safe at first. The Aggies posted two more runs in the sixth and one run in the

The Jayhawks dropped both games of the double-header.
Game one wrapped up in just one hour and eighteen minutes with a final score of 8-0.
Game two concluded with a score of
7-3. The two losses dropped Kansas' record to 23-19-1, 2-6 in conference play. A&M is now 25-16, including a 7-1 mark in the Big 12 Conference.

Texas A&M pitcher Jessica Kapchinski pitched a full six innings and faced just 20 batters. She recorded nine strikeouts and walked one Jayhawk hitter.
The Aggies started off game two by driving in one run on an error. Sophomore shortstop Destiny Frankenstein fielded a routine ground ball and threw it to sophomore catcher Mel Torres. Torres was unable to complete the play, and one run
scored. Torres was charged with an error.
Kansas took a 3-1 lead in the third inning. Senior right fielder Sylvia Pfeiffer singled to start the inning. After junior Kathy McVey was inserted as a pinch runner, senior infielder Sandy Smith also recorded a single, moving McVey to second base. Sophomore third baseman Nettie Fierros bunted McVey to third and Smith took second. A sacrifice fly to left field brought in McVey, and a single back up the middle by Torres brought in Smith.

Birdie on last hole good for a one-shot victory over Ernie Els
The Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Finally!
Phil Mickelson's agonizing pursuit of a major ended yesterday at the Masters when he made an 18-foot birdie putt on the final hole, a spectacular conclusion to a back-nine duel with Ernie Els.
Gone is that ugly streak of being 0-for-
42 in golf's biggest events. Gone are
questions about Mickelson's game and
whether it could stand up to the scrutiny
of a major championship.
He delivered a command performance to the very end, with two birdies on the final three holes for a 3-under 69 that gave him a one-stroke victory over Els.
The putt curled into the back of the hole, setting off an enormous cheer. Mickelson
jumped and thrust his fists, then kissed his ball when he plucked it from the cup.
"Oh my God!" he said as he walked off the green and into the arms of his wife and three children.
But Mickelson was more determined than ever.
Until yesterday, he was known as the best player to have never won a major.
He rattled off three straight birdies to stay in range, caught Els with a 15-foot birdie putt on the 16th and then had the
Now, he's simply one of the best in the game.
Mickelson
His awesome skills were on full display along the back nine at Augusta National, and they had to be. Els was
nawless, making two eagles in his round of 67 that looked as though it would be enough to get the green jacket he covets, and the third leg of the Grand Slam.
stage to himself on No.18.
Despite a half-dozen close calls in the majors, Mickelson had never come to the final hole with a share of the lead. He never had the final say.
On this day, he refused to let his chance get away.
He smartly played 3-wood off the tee to avoid the bunkers and hit his approach behind the hole. Mickelson got a huge break with Chris DiMarco blasted out of a greenis bunker and just beyond Mickelson's ball marker, giving him the line on the biggest putt of his life.
"I just couldn't believe that ball fell in there." Mickelson said.
Before signing his scorecard, Mickelson held daughter Sophia and said, "Daddy won. Can you believe it?"
Mickelson, who shot a 31 on the back, finished at 9-under 279. Mike Weir, whose victory last year made him the first south-paw to win the Masters, slipped the green jacket on the most famous Leffy in golf.
It was a bitter end for Els, who now
knows how Mickelson has felt all these years. The big South African did nothing wrong over the final 12 holes, salvaged four crucial pars along the way and it still wasn't enough.
"I think Phil deserved this one," Els said. "He won this one. He didn't lose it like some of his other ones. Full credit to him."
K. J. Choi hoiled a 5-iron from 220 yards on the 11th hole for eagle, kept his hopes alive with a 40-foot birdie put on the 13th but wound up with a 69, three shots behind.
Tiger Woods was long gone before the fireworks started. He made a double bogey — this third of the tournament — on the 13th hole and shot 71, leaving him 11 shots out of the lead in a tie for 22nd, his worst finish ever at the Masters.
Woods now has gone seven majors without winning, and he has played his last five over par.
But this Masters didn't need him to deliver the drama.
NHL
St. Louis looks to rebound in playoffs against San Jose
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Blues know they need to show much more discipline to get back into their first-round playoff series against the San Jose Sharks.
St. Louis is the lowest scoring team in the playoffs and plays a physical style aimed at winning close games. The Blues were too physical in Game 2, handing the Sharks 13 power plays in a 3-1 loss that put San Jose ahead 20 in the series.
Play shifts to St. Louis for Games 3 and 4 tomorrow and Tuesday, and the Blues hope to show the home crowd they can be composed.
"We were in the penalty box most of the game, and we can't afford to do that." forward Jamal Mayers said.
That edict starts at the top. The Blues' top defenseman, Chris Pronger, was whistled for six minor penalties in Game 2.

KC Royals defeat Cleveland 5-3
Indians strand 12 runners in third straight loss; team loses lead in eighth inning
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ken Harvey hit a go-ahead single off Rafael Betancourt in the eighth inning and Benitago Santiago followed with a run-scoring double that led the Kansas City Royals to a victory yesterday against the Cleveland Indians 5-3.
Jose Jimenez (0-1) hit Mike Sweeney with a pitch leading off the eighth and walked Joe Randa with one out.
Betancourt relieved and gave up hits to his only two batters.
Cleveland, which stranded 12 runners, had tied it 3-all in the seventh, capitalizing on a throwing error by pitcher Jason Grimsley that left Ronnie Belliard sprawled on the field.
ters.
Scott Sullivan (2-0) pitched one scoreless inning, and Curtis Leskanic walked two in the ninth
before finishing for his second save.
Grimsley picked up Belliard's slow roller in front of the mound and threw off balance toward first.
The ball went behind Belliard's back as he crashed into the shoulder of Sweeney, who was reaching for the ball.
Belliard lay motionless for several minutes, but got up and staved in the game.
Coco Crisp scored on the error. His double off Sweeney had driven in Travis Hafner with the
first run of the inning.
Dennis Reyes, the fifth left-hander to start a game for the Royals this year, allowed one run, four hits and three walks in five innings.
Reyes, who came to camp as a non-roster invitee, made his first start since Sept. 14, 2002.
Cleveland starter Jason Davis got his second straight no-decision, allowing three runs, six hits and four walks in six innings.
Tim Laker's RBI single put Cleveland ahead in the first, but Santiago grounded into a run-scoring double play in the second.
Kansas City made it 3-1 in the sixth on Sweeney's RBI single and Juan Gonzalez's sacrifice fly.
Game Notes
The Indians have scored first in all but one of their seven games.
Royals' starters are 0-2 with four no-decisions, the first time since 1992 no starter has won in the first six games.
The Indians play their home opener Monday against Minnesota.
The Indians have 10 or more hits in four games. Last year, they had 59 games with double-digits.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18).

Roddick wins in Davis Cup
Defeat against Jonas Bjorkman in straight sets clinches U.S. victory
The Associated Press
DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — Closing with a record 152 mph serve, Andy Roddick beat Jonas Bjorkman in straight sets to clinch a U.S. victory over Sweden in the Davis Cup quarterfinals.
Roddick rallied in a grueling first set, then wore down a weary Bjorkman to win 7-6 (3), 6-4, 6-0, giving the Americans an insurmountable 3-1 lead in the best-off-five series.
The Americans will host a semifinal Sept. 24-26 against Belarus, which swept Argentina 5-0 in Minsk.
Roddick broke his own serving record of 150 mph on match point. Bjorkman managed to get his return in play but then hit a backhand in the net, giving the American the victory.
Roddick celebrated with one final forehand, throwing his racket to the crowd.
trade high-fives with teammates, then returned to the court and took an American flag on a victory lap.
It was an impressive win over a Swedish team that upset defending champion Australia in the first round.
He climbed into the stands to
The Americans took a 2-1 lead thanks to a doubles victory Saturday by Bob and Mike Bryan, leaving the match on the racket of their best player.
The sunbaked hard court was home turf for Roddick, who grew up in nearby Boca Raton, and he started strong, with an ace followed by three consecutive service winners in the opening game.
In the tiebreaker, Roddick chased down four volleys by Bjorkman during one exchange, finally hitting a forehand winner for a 2-1 lead that put him ahead
Bjorkman rallied and was up a break at 4-3 before Roddick came back in the one-hour opening set.
to stay.
Not everything went Roddick's wav.
He ran into a linesman behind the baseline chasing a shot, lost the point and gave the official an earful. In the tiebreaker he hit a 148 mph serve, and Bjorkman still managed to win the point.
But in humid, 85-degree weather, Roddick was too strong for the 32-year-old Bjorkman, who played 10 sets in three days.
Roddick dominated with his serve, as usual, but also made few errors from the baseline and moved well.
He improved to 4-0 when in a position to clinch a Davis Cup victory for the Americans. They're 36-0 since 1987 when taking a lead into Sunday.
BASEBALL: 'Hawks recover to win final game

ninth for a final score of 4-0.
Baseball coach Ritch Price argued with first base umpire Tom Svehla after Svehla called an Aggie baserunner safe during the fifth inning of Saturday's loss to Texas A&M. Svehla said first baseman Ravn Batan his foot off the base.
Courtney Kuhlen/Kansa
Despite the "absolutely dominating performance" byAggies' starter Zach Jackson, Price was pleased with the team's performance. Jackson did not walk a batter and struck out nine in his complete game shutout. In game three, the 'Hawks were behind once again in what sophomore Ritchie Price called a must win game.
Texas A&M posted three runs in the second inning, but was answered immediately by the Kansas offense.
"If there is such a thing as a must win game, that was it."
An RBI single by junior J.C Sibley followed by bases loaded walks to Price and Sean Richardson tied the game at three. The game remained close as Kansas battled through six different A&M pitchers.
Andy Scholl Kansas outfielder
Outfieldier Andy Scholl's clutch single in the eighth innings gave the 'Hawks three insurance runs. Freshman Sean Land (3-0) pitched the final three and one-third innings to hold off Texas A&M for a 9-7 victory.
"If there is such a thing as a must win game, that was it," Scholl said. "We finally saw some right handed arms and got into their bullpen.
The series moved the Jayhawks overall record to 24-16-1 and 2-7
in the Big 12. The Aggies moved to 29-9 and 6-6 in the Big 12.
The Jayhawks' next matchup will be a three-game series beginning Friday in Stillwater, Okla., against Oklahoma State.

Frankenstein. Frankenstein was caught stealing to end the Jayhawks' only productive inning.
Texas A&M came right back in its half of the third, scoring two runs to tie the game at three.
The wheels came off for Kansas' freshman hurler Kassie Humphreys in the fifth inning. Humphreys gave up four runs on three hits, including one home run.
After Humphreys faced 23 batters and recorded four strikeouts, coach Tracy Bunge made the decision to remove her from the game. Humphreys gave up nine hits and seven runs - six of them earned — in her 4.2 innings of work.
Pierce returned to pitch a scoreless 1.1 innings and faced five hitters, striking out one Aggie. She granted no walks in those innings.
Kansas had five hits in the game and received two walks, leaving one runner on base. Texas A&M had 10 hits and received two walks, leaving six runners on base.
Kansas will return for a six game home stand where they will play conference opponents Missouri and Oklahoma State. They will also face Wichita State and Southern Illinois of the Missouri Valley Conference.
The Wichita State double header starts tomorrow at 3 p.m.

Platform feasibility
Officials comment on coalitions' main goals

Kansan staff writers
With Student Senate elections starting tomorrow, both coalitions are making their platform issues known to students.
If some of the issues on both parties' platforms seem difficult to achieve, that's because they are.
City officials and University of Kansas administrators said that many of the issues may or may not be attainable and need to be planned out further.
KUnited is lobbying to place a nonvoting student position on the Lawrence City Commission. KUnited's presidential candidate Steve Munch said Senate

already had a community affairs director who works with the city, but he said that director had no legitimacy or clout.
"We want to make sure the students' voice is consistently heard," Munch said. "There are student issues that need to be addressed. A lot of students don't have time to keep up with it."
"I'd imagine it's a process of sitting down with the current mayor," Munch said. "As far as sitting down and talking, we haven't yet."
But Munch said the coalition hadn't spoken with the commission about allowing a student to join.
Senate officials brought a similar proposal to the commission three or four years ago, Mike Wildgen, city manager said.
Wildgen said he could not speak for the current commission's stance on the issue but that the former commission felt that students had enough opportunities to make their voices heard and that adding a student position would set a difficult precedent to other groups that wanted representation.
He feared that any other group in Lawrence could claim they deserved representation on commission as well, Wildgen said.
"The boat didn't float," Wildgen said.

"Students can run for city commission. That's the most obvious way of getting up there," Wildgen said. "Otherwise, they're represented by the people that are elected."

Medical students travel abroad, provide care to underprivileged

They're wearing their medical scrubs in the 80-degree tropical heat. They're tired, sunburned and ready to get some sleep. After seven days in Belize, this group of 17 medical students and faculty has treated more than 570 people.
The students have treated villagers who had walked four hours for a free medical exam. They've taught children how to properly brush their teeth. They've tackled more challenging tasks such as removing an infected boil from one man's head. They wish they could do more.
Vincent Hayes, clinical assistant professor and International Oureach Program medical adviser, examined a boy in Belize who complained of stomach pain while Rick Moberly II, Grand Junction, Colo., second-year medical student observed.
But these second-year medical students have to get back to school — which starts in three days — where the tests and the other demands that make up the stressful life of a medical student are waiting.
They also need to get back to the University of Kansas Medical Center to work on their other international plans. From making sure seven girls in China will get an education through high school to caring for six villages in Belize to raising enough money to have 116 people tested for AIDS in Tanzania, Africa, the members of the International Outreach Program have set their sights across the world. With 40 students, the program is only one-and-a-half-years old.
"When you find an opportunity to make a difference, why not do it?" said Jane Jenab, the group's founder and second-year medical student from Denver, Colo.
Belize
Instead of doing what other medical students do during spring break --- study — 12 medical students used the $10,000 they raised to take three doctors and two nurses from the University to Belize. They traveled to San Jose and the Y'axche Conservation Trust, a joint-clinic run by the Mayans and Peace Corps that serves four surrounding villages in Belize.
as antibiotics, bandages and Tylenol. Jenab said the villagers knew all about vitamins and asked for as many as they could have. The group spent an extra $75 buying more vitamins before they left Belize.
The group was able to gather $90,000 worth of donated medical supplies, such

Violations upheld for KUnited Candidates

Kansan staff writer
Nick Lawler and Clarisa Diaz, archi-
The Elections Commission Hearing Board upheld complaints of elections violations against two KUnited candidates last night.
Nick Lawler an tecture senators, were each fined $10 for sending an e-mail on Architecture listserves telling students what they had accomplished in Senate this year,
For a story on yesterday's debate and the coalitions' expenses, see 3A.
Candidates are allowed to distribute campaign material to individuals but not to large groups of students, including through list-serves.
The debate about whether Lawler and Diaz had committed a violation centered on whether the e-mail, sent March 31, was campaigning or a routine update on Senate activity.
Diaz was at a mandatory lecture for a class and could not attend the hearing. Lawler was there and said the two of them had no intention of using the e-mail as a campaign tool.
"We didn't mention the elections, we didn't mention KUnited or polling sites, we didn't tell them to go vote," Lawler said.
He added that he had sent out a similar e-mail the year before, when he was also an architecture senator.
Catherine Bell, student body vice president, also attended the hearing. She said she encouraged senators to use list-serves to update their constituencies on Senate news whenever possible. Bell campaigned with KUnited last year.
Jeremy Antley, the complaint adjudicator for the board, said that because Diaz and Lawler sent the e-mail after they'd both declared their candidacies for this year, students who read it could understand it as campaigning.
"Any time you're an incumbent and you send out an e-mail like this, it will have this implication," Antley said.
Lawler said he and Diaz waited until March 31 to send the e-mail because there were architecture projects on Senate's line-item budget and they were waiting to see if the budget would be approved. Senate approved the budget in mid-March.
Lawler said he planned to appeal the decision to the University Judicial Board. Other election news
Nontraditional students will elect three senators this week despite a Senate bill passed earlier this year that allows only two nontraditional senators.
The bill, which passed March 3, replaced one of the three nontraditional senators with an appointed senator from Stouffer Place. The coalitions each fielded only two candidates for the nontraditional seats, thinking only two would be elected.

Munch: History lover, mature beyond his age
By Andy Marso

Kanaan staff writer
Steve Munch is still more than a year away from being able to stroll into a local bar and order a beer, but in a few days he could hold the top student position at the University of Kansas. Munch, Bellevue, Neb., sophomore, is running for student body president with KUUnited in the Student Senate elections tomorrow and Thursday.
KU
If Munch is elected, he would be one of the youngest presidents in recent memory at 19 years old. But he's been growing up fast for a long time.
Munch's father was a history enthusiast who named their dog Quincy after John Quincy Adams. Steve was reading history books by fourth grade and even carried that passion over to Halloween.

CLARIFICATION
An article in yesterday's The University Daily Kansan needs clarification. The article, "Campus elections to include 4 referendums," stated that Casey Collier, holdover student senator and Multicultural Affairs Committee member, supports the ideas of study abroad, scholarships and students paying for other students' scholarships. Collier does not support students paying for other students' scholarships.

He will address the group on issues ranging from school spirit to goal setting and student involvement.
"I want to hear about his experiences as a student here," said Sam Arif, Wichita senior and member of the College Republicans.
Ryun, a graduate of the University, represents the 2nd District of Kansas and has also held world records for the 1.500 meter dash and running the mile.

Delia Kimbrel, Wichita sophomore and Black Student Union student senator, helped serve food after the BSU meeting last night at the Burge Union. The group discussed the upcoming events for Black Love Week, as well as the upcoming election. "We are stressing voting and getting involved in student government. We need to hold our representatives responsible for upholding all cultural perspectives and for adequately representing all students," Kimbrel said.

Police re-examine unsolved murders after new BTK letter
WICHITA — Police are reviewing the unsolved slayings of women killed since 1974 following the reemergence of the BTK Stranger, a serial killer who terrorized the city in the 1970s and recently claimed responsibility for a 1986 killing.
Police won't identify specific cases or talk in detail about their investigation. But a letter received last month, which
police believe was sent by the serial killer, has fanned fears that BTK may be responsible for more than the eight deaths the killer has claimed credit for committing.
"With this latest revelation, I wouldn't say for certainty that there aren't any more bodies out there," said retired Wichita police Lt. Mike McKenna, who oversaw the homicide investigations.
McKenna said he did not recall any specific cases that had all the earmarks of a BTK killing.
"Any time you had a crime scene that looked like it had the markings of the known BTK murders, you couldn't discount the possibility," McKenna said.
Between 1974 and 1978, the killer known as BTK — the name stands for "Bind, Torture, Kill" — killed at least seven people. Last month, shortly after the 30th anniversary of the first murders, BTK sent a letter to The Wichita Eagle claiming responsibility for a 1986 killing.

Police arrest two men after drive-by shooting
TOPEKA — Police have arrested two men in connection with an apparent drive-by shooting on Easter Sunday that
killed an 18-year-old Topeka man.
Authorities identified the victim as Lawrence Mason III, who was found shot in his backyard in the southeast part of the city. Mason later died at a Topeka hospital, making him the city's second homicide of 2004.
Police estimate 20 gunshots were fired in the shooting, which occurred in a residential part of Topeka.

Spring snowstorm causes deadly highway accident
SUBLETTE — Two people were killed yesterday when their van skidded on a stretch of U.S. 160 slickened by a spring snowstorm, authorities said.
The Kansas Highway Patrol identified the victims as Maria Rodriguez, 41, of Ulysses, and Lyndon Syms, 39, of Garden City.
The accident happened at 7:50 a.m. about 10 miles west of Sublette when the victim's van crossed the center line, striking a tractor-trailer. The rig overturned and came to rest on its top in the same ditch where the van stopped. Rodriguez and Syms were ejected.
A storm system from Canada moved into northwest Kansas just before midnight Sunday, dumping up to 3 inches of snow on the region, said Scott Reiter, a meteorologist in the Dodge City office of the National Weather Service.
Snow also fell in parts of Colorado and Nebraska. The snow fell quickly and accumulated briefly but soon melted because the ground was warm.
Reiter said snowfall in April wasn't unusual. He said the snowfall average for Dodge City in April was 1 inch.

All freshmen in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences require advising, as do nearly all students in Engineering, Social Welfare, and some Business and Architecture students.

Candidates stick to issues
Unlike last week informal debate free of attacks
MOTIVATION
Abby Tillery/Kansan
By Andy Marso amarso@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The candidates for student body president and vice president faced questions from students in an informal debate on the steps at Wescoe Beach yesterday.
Kevin McKenzie, Salina sophomore, answered a question yesterday during an informal presidential debate on Wescoe Beach while Blake Swenson, Topeka senior, talked with Steve Munch, Bellevue, Neb., sophomore, and Jeff Dunlap, Leawood junior. Swenson and McKenzie are the presidential and vice-presidential candidates for Delta Force and Munch and Dunlap are presidential and vice-presidential candidates for KUnited.
The candidates focused on pushing their platform issues and discrediting those of the opponent yesterday, in contrast to last week's formal debate that was marked by a series of personal attacks.
Jeff Dunlap, KUnited's vicepresidential candidate, used his opening statement to talk about platform issues including a tuition contract, a student representative on the Lawrence City Commission and a wireless campus. Dunlap noted that Kansas State was ahead of the University of Kansas as far as wireless Internet. K-State began implementing a campus-wide wireless network in Fall 2001.
"And, no offense to K-State, but they're an agriculture school." Dunlap said.
Blake Swenson, Delta Force's presidential candidate, began his opening statement by asking how many undecided voters were in the audience.
A girl in a purple sweatshirt near the front raised her hand.
"Good," Swenson said, "I'm going to talk to you the whole time."
He used the rest of his opening statement to talk about his coalition's campus proposals, which include online voting and expanding SafeRide and University Career and Employment Services.
The crowd was mostly partisan when the debate began at noon, but a flood of unaffiliated students came out at Wescoe when classes let out at 12:20. Many students lingered to hear what the candidates had to say until the debate ended at 1 p.m.
The floor was open for questions from students, but most questions came from Elections Commission member Dallas Rakestraw or members of the coalitions.
Some coalition members bait opponents with questions that disputed their effectiveness or motives.
puddled their hands. But the candidates stuck to the issues for the most part and agreed that they would have to work together with their opponents no matter who was elected.
"After Thursday, that next year's Senate won't just be Delta Force and it won't just be KUnited, unfortunately," Steve Munch, KUnited presidential candidate, said.
their platforms, Dunlap and Munch said Delta Force had ambitious goals but no plans for accomplishment them. Swenson and his running mate, Kevin McKenzie, said KUnited had limited Senate's power by focusing mainly on campus goals.
The candidates did clash on a few issues, namely on the scope of
Meagan Finger, Wichita freshman, attended part of the debate. She said she wasn't affiliated with the coalitions and that she learned from the debate.
Senate elections begin tomorrow. Students can vote at any oncampus computer lab or polling sites at Wescoe Beach, Mrs.Es, GSP-Corbin Hall and the Student Fitness Recreation Center.

New acts pump up the volume for four-day event
Organizers of the Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival announced yesterday that there would be 14 new acts and one more day of music.
The festival at Clinton State Park will now have 71 bands.
Brett Mosiman, festival organizer and owner of Pipeline Productions, said the new developments were an added incentive for concergoers.
"I think that the overall vibe and the number and quality of the acts for the price is huge," Mosiman said.
The additional day of music will be Thursday, June 17. The festival was originally slated to begin on June 18. It is now four days long.
Mosiman called the fourth day the "Early Arrival Revival."
The reception on the Internet as well as the music lineup has created a huge buzz about the festival, Mosiman said. He said that Web sites around the country were comparing the Wakarusa

GUEST COMMENTARY
In recent years students have paid for the Student Fitness Recreation Center through increases in their student fees and have been major contributors to the new Multicultural Resource Center fund. We, unlike any other student body in the state, have demonstrated a commitment to our University that will last forever.

Casey Collier and Cornelius Minor opinion@kansas.com
Student Senate elections are on Wednesday and Thursday. On the ballot, we are being presented with another opportunity to invest in their University
Student Senate has proposed a Global Education Scholarship Program and is asking the student body to fund it. This program would create a limited number of study abroad scholarships. Every KU student would be required to pay an additional student fee of $4 per semester to establish this program.
Before making that decision, it is important to recognize that tuition has been increasing steadily since many of us have been here. Though we have a lot to show for the money that we have invested in the past, we as students cannot continue to carry the heavy burden of the University's enhancement. We should not be paying for student scholarships.
With the state in its current fiscal condition and with no end in sight to our country's recession, students cannot sustain the taxation of another student fee.
The idea of a Senate-initiated scholarship is underdeveloped at best. The group is asking students to fund the Global Education Scholarship Program now, yet it does not know how many scholarships will be granted. The bottom line is that not every student will be granted a scholarship.
There has been no public education on this issue, and no one has presented a model for how this scholarship would work. Do students at other schools pay for their own scholarships? Have such programs been successful? Will students even know to apply for the scholarships? By asking students to blindly approve this initiative, Student Senate is asking them to stumble forward into a financially uncertain darkness.
We want greater opportunity for international study, but we urge you to vote against this measure. It is important to know that a vote against this plan is not a vote against the idea of study abroad or of study abroad scholarships. A vote against this measure is a vote against a half-researched and poorly disseminated plan to have students spend more money
— especially when Student Senate has been so vigilant about protecting them from such fees in the past.
University offices normally do the work of establishing and granting scholarships. It is great that Student Senate wants to help with this, but it is simply not its job.
If Student Senate wants to take a proactive role in the establishment of scholarships, it does not have to do so by taxing the students. Other options that it has simply been too uncompromising to explore.
A reserve account that Student Senate can use. This account holds excess student monies from years past. That account has more than enough to get this scholarship program off the ground.
If this referendum were passed, the reserve fund has more than the approximate $190,000 that would come from the scholarship fee. The account typically funds projects that have a proven track record for success. Why not use this money? Has Student Senate even explored the possibility of organizing a capital campaign with the Kansas University Endowment Association?
Student Senate has noble intentions, but its senators must understand that asking students to pay more is not the way to go. Many student fees are necessary, but dipping into students' pockets to fund scholarships is not. Doing so right now would establish an unhealthy precedent. There should be other ways to support study abroad scholarships; asking students to fund scholarships should be a last resort. More research needs to be done, and the Student Senate needs to lead students in that effort. For now students need to vote no on Referendum C.

There are a lot of reasons that students would take five years to graduate. Some of those

reasons include transferring schools, studying abroad, being an athlete or switching majors. All of those are academic-conscious decisions. In my case, I went to the University of North Texas for two years before realizing I wanted a better education, so I packed up and moved here. Not just to drink beer.
There are approximately 1,328 fifth-year students here at the University of Kansas, said Joann Williams, senior principal analyst at the Office of Institutional Research and Planning. This does not include transfers and those who go beyond the fifth year. There is no need for them to feel ashamed—actually they should be proud of themselves.
Anson Jackson, Bedford, Texas, senior is finally graduating after five years at the University. He is graduating with a major in mathematics and a minor in philosophy. No one should call him a slacker. In addition to his strenuous academic load, Jackson also ran track for four years and regularly traveled and had a daily workout routine.
"I don't feel like taking five years was a bad decision. I had the time to take the classes I wanted and to get something out of my classes rather then rushing through them," Jackson said.
Patty Noland, career adviser for the journalism school, said there are plenty of reasons to take a fifth year. If a student transferred to a school with different prerequisites, studied abroad or changed majors, he or she shouldn't feel ashamed, she said. Although, as a parent, she would hope students are responsible in getting out in a timely manner. She said that students should be happy with their degree rather than trying to rush to graduate.
We have the rest of our lives to get up at 6 a.m., work a long day and then repeat it the next tedious day. This year, I will admit, I do go out on the town more than I should, but I keep remembering that this is the last year I have to be somewhat irresponsible. We should live it up while we can.

ON POLITICS
College campuses provide place for academic freedom
The other day on National Public Radio I heard a piece about the Academic Bill of Rights. This is an idea being batted around legislatures in Colorado and Missouri by those who see universities as centers of "leftist bias and indoctrination," in the words of the NPR story. The author of the Academic Bill of Rights, conservative activist David Horowitz, thinks that such bias is real, apparent and dangerous. Does such a Bill of Rights have a place at Kansas?
I will do exactly what you say.
Several examples are cited in the story. There was the girl at the University of Colorado who missed class to attend a conservative political rally and was told by teacher that she was going to fail because of it. There was the midterm on which the essay question asked students to explain why President George W. Bush was a war criminal; a student who refused to paint the president in such colors was given an "F." Finally, there was a

COMMENTARY
There are places in American academia where conservative students are indeed being treated like "second-class citizens" as Horowitz believes. Much of this must be due to the fact that university faculty are a notoriously liberal bunch.
politically liberal professor at Brandeis University in Massachusetts who told his students that they would be graded based on their "political growth."
A study by the American Enterprise
In some cases such as at UC-Santa Barbara the study found only one officially registered member of a conservative party out of 73 examined faculty. Opponents of the Academic Bill Rights argue that these disparities are not the result of biased hiring practices, and I would tend to believe them. For whatever reason, academia is an area that attracts people on the political left.
Institute in 2000 looked at political party registration of university professors at "top institutions." What they found was that even the most favorable balance, at the University of Houston, was still 3 to 1 in favor of liberal parties.
I see no reason to suspect that Kansas does not follow the tradition of a liberal faculty. Just remember that your professors are allowed to have their views on any subject, and you are allowed to disagree with them. We call this "academic freedom," and it is good.

The most egregious example from my personal experience occurred in a psychology class; I'll leave out the name of the instructor in the interests of politeness. We were discussing various mental defects and how it is possible to detect them before birth. When one particularly tragic condition came up the instructor said, "If you find out you're going to have a kid with X disease, you need to consider a therapeutic abortion." (Calm down, people, this isn't another abortion column.)
KANSAN
What you should not tolerate is blatant propagation of a political agenda. Regardless of how you view a particular issue, you must see such action as antithetical to the mission of a university. When you see this happening, raise your hand and suggest that the teacher make stump speeches on their own time, you're paying for the credit hours.
The problem was not that I personally disagreed with this professor's conclusion,
I can't speak for Colorado and Brandeis, but I am not convinced that Kansas needs an Academic Bill of Rights. The University is certainly liberal, but I'm not sure I would call it a center of indoctrination.

Just be smart. You are on a college campus;college campuses generally lean to the left. The views you hear in class do not represent the only belief system you can hold.
Guard yourself against thinking that the insular experience of university life is a good example of the real world.
On the other side, I have sat and listened to a history professor essentially argue for the conversion of the United States into a socialist system without ever feeling like he was out of order. The instructor simply presented his views rationally.

PLATFORM: Tuition, recycling changes proposed
CONTINUED FROM 1A
To battle ever-increasing tuition, KUnited proposed a fixed-tuition plan where an incoming freshman would pay the same tuition every year in school. Tuition would increase with every incoming class but wouldn't change throughout an individual's college career.
But after discussing the issue with Provest David Shulenburger, Munch said that Shulenburger expressed concern over the money that tuition increases would generate because most of those funds were already planned to be used for projects and other areas that state money doesn't cover.
"It would stop fear in an out-of-state student who wants to attend KU," said Jeff Dunlap, KUnited vice-presidential candidate.
If University administrators did adopt KUnited's policy, it could be long after most current students graduate.
"We're not thinking immediately," Much said. "We're thinking five years down the line."
Shulenburger refused to comment for this story.
Delta Force Issues
Delta Force is pushing for a city-wide curbside recycling program. Delta Force presidential candidate Blake Swenson said he wanted to extend current campus recycling programs across the city.
Swenson said he had not contacted the city to look into costs or how to implement the program but would wait until after the
election.
"We haven't looked at exact costs," Swenson said. "We're taking little steps. It's just a matter of having faith in the democratic process."
Costs were an aspect Wilden said was an issue with past citywide recycling program proposals. Lawrence already has dumpsters in various locations around town to recycle tires, cardboard and brush and leaves. Further recycling projects would require expenses in money, time, people and equipment. The city currently has no revenue to support such projects. Wilden said.
"Cooperative efforts are welcome," Wildgen said. "But it's something that's going to take resources to do."
Delta Force's proposal to revitalize student neighborhoods matched the city's interest in supporting strong neighborhoods, Wildgen said, but the coalition would have to work out that issue with landlords and land owners.
Overall, Wildgen said all the issues were feasible to some extent. .
"They are in the sense that they can be reviewed and looked at," Wildgen said.
***
Delta Force lists expanding Safe Ride, the University's free transportation program, high on its list of priorities.
According to its platform, Delta Force contends to add Safe Ride dispatchers to eliminate busy signals when students call the service as well as to expand Safe Ride hours, so the service
would operate between 10 p.m.
and 4 a.m. every day.
But Delta Force officials have yet to propose the measure to the transportation board, which governs all KU on Wheels and Safe Ride decisions.
"We've never seen any proposal like that," said Aaron Quisenberry, faculty director of KU on Wheels. "That's something I suggest they do."
Delta Force didn't take the issue to the board, said Delta Force vice-presidential candidate Kevin McKenzie, because KUnited controls the transportation board. Dunlap is the director of the board.
"That's something we were going to propose once we got in office." McKenzie said.
Simply proposing the measure might not be enough, though, Quisenberry said.
The Lawrence Bus Company, which provides the buses, cars and employees for KU on Wheels, probably couldn't add another dispatcher even if they wanted to, Quisenberry said.
After service increases last year, including the addition of three cars and volunteer drivers for the weekends, the money might not be available for another employee. Quisenberry said.
As for lengthening Safe Ride's hours, it might be possible without another transportation fee increase, but not without a price.
"If we wanted to, we might be able to do it, but with fewer cars. It's something we'd have to look in to," Quisenberry said.

Steve admitted that his precious nature sometimes rubbed people the wrong way. He was chosen to be editor of his high school newspaper as a junior, beating out a number of older students. Steve's older brother, Joe, was the only other person in the school's history to hold the position as a junior. Steve was in charge of a staff that included 15 seniors.
Munch remained editor his senior year and was named the Nebraska High School Journalist of the Year. He followed his sister to the University the next year, where the two have remained close.
Ramirez said that her office usually chose older students for Munch's position because it required maturity and involvement in many aspects of university life.

SWENSON:Longtime KU fan
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Swenson said he had a recording of the radio broadcast of the 1988 game that he used to listen to every night before he went to bed. He said the game provided an example of overcoming the odds and succeeding that Delta Force could use.
Two years ago, Swenson fell from a balcony at the Colony Woods apartment complex and fractured his skull. He was airlifted to the hospital where he lay in bed for four days. Although the doctors recommended that Swenson take it easy, he was back in class the day after he was released from the hospital.
Swenson loves basketball and spent a lot of time in grade school and high school trying to overcome setbacks on the court. He played on the junior varsity team at Washburn Rural High School through his junior year but didn't make the varsity team after a new coach took over in his senior year. The varsity team didn't win a game that year.
"Either I wasn't good enough to make a winless team or they could have used me," Swenson said.
Sports helped get Swenson interested in the University of Kansas at an early age. His father lived in Lawrence with his brother and stepmother, and Swenson would often join them for trips to Joe's Bakery, 616 W. Ninth St and Memorial Stadium for football games.
Swenson now sells KU apparel and sporting goods at Jock's Nitch, 837 Massachusetts St. with Joe Purcell, Topeka junior. Purcell said Swenson gets excited when athletes come to the store.
"I can't remember which player it was this year, but he got all excited and ran up to him with a Sharpie and asked him to sign the wall in back," Purcell said. "He kind of reminded me of a little schoolgirl."
Swenson said he got more excited when athletes in other sports came in because they were underappreciated.

CHILDREN'S UNIVERSITY OF NORTH AMERICA
DOCTORS: Students hold auctions to fund Outreach trip
Charese Donovan, Wichita second-year medical student, and Jen McAllaster, Lyons second-year medical student, taught two Belizean children how to brush their teeth. Health education was a goal of the program.

Many of the women they treated wanted some form of birth control, such as condoms or birth control injections.
"After their 15th baby, they're dying to get on birth control," she said.
These birth control shots only last for three months, but the villages have nurses and midwives who offer them. However, the women have a limited supply, Jenab said.
jenni said.
The students informed several women that they were pregnant and also taught about the importance of a balanced diet
"We really didn't know what to expect when we got down there," Jenab said. "So the group decided to take whatever situation came through the door and handle it to the best of our ability."
But the group was not looking to help these villages for one week alone.
They want to foster a year-long KU Med clinic in Belize where the group would send future members and medical students looking for international residency work. The program is only under consideration right now, but Jenab said the student's medical adviser and several of the village leaders expressed immediate interest.
Fundraising
There are two things most students lack: time and money.
The medical students who make up the International Outreach Program have made the time to raise $15,000 through fundraisers and gathered almost $100,000 in donated supplies.
$160,000 in donated gifts
Some of the biggest fundraisers this year were auctions for the trip to Belize. The students held a silent auction with donated items such as Kansas men's basketball tickets and an autographed football from the Kansas City Chiefs' Eddie Kennison. But Jenab said the live auction, at which KU Med faculty and members of the group were auctioned off to do various jobs for the highest bidder, was more popular.
The students raised $2,500 from the two auctions. Jenab said the auction not only benefited the group's programs but helped the students feel more comfortable around their professors and other professionals.
"We're trying to pull everybody together and kind of break down
some of the invisible lines that don't get crossed a lot,"Jenab said.
A commitment in the group's bylaws appropriates the money. It has decided that the money earned from its first fundraiser of the year, an international luncheon, will go toward the first program it started: the Women of China.
Women of China
Jianjun Gao is a second-year medical student from a village in the greater Xinyi city area in China. He compares his village to the suburbs in the greater Kansas
City area. This area in China's Jingua province has a population of about 900,000 people, and they have about 15 schools that provide education to almost 3,000 villages, Gao said.
Villages, Gao said.
In China's countryside, the farmers would rather have a boy than a girl, Gao said. If they start having children and fail to have a boy, they will continue until one arrives, despite the government's recommendation to have only one child. As a result, he said many families consisted of one boy and several girls.
Gao said it was impossible for a family to send all of its children to school. It would cost a family with three children about 4,000 Chinese yen or $450 per year, he said. Most families in the country-side make about that much money in one year.
"A lot of families are forced to drop their daughters out of school, even though they are doing well, because the boy gets the first education," Gao said.
In Gao's family, his sister had to drop out of school and work on the farm in order for him to graduate from high school. So when Gao met Jenab, the group's founder, he informed her of this problem. Together, they developed the idea for the Women of China program.
The group set up a scholarship program and is now paying for seven girls' tuitions through high school at $150 per girl every year. This money covers the girls' entire schooling. Jenab said the group hoped to sponsor more in the future.

"We've made a commitment to these girls, and they are counting on us until they get out of high school," Jenab said.
They chose the girls from about 15 middle school and high school girls from the Xinyi area. The program has two criteria. First, the girls must be doing well in school. Gao said they must rank in the top 10 to 20 girls in their grade, which can have from 50 to 200 students. Second, they must be in desperate need of financial support and would have no other choice than to drop out of school without the scholarship.
Gao received a letter at the beginning of last year from Jin Song, one of the girls the group sponsors, who is in her first year of middle school. After Gao translated the letter, it read:
"When my father puts my tuition money into my hands I cannot help but cry. However, when I put my honor certificates into my parents' hands I see smiles appearing on their faces — it's just like the smile when I make a cup of hot tea for them. I want to keep working hard at school, to obtain more honors to pay back for their hard work, to take care of them more in the future and to keep the smiles on their faces."
Song later wrote that she would work hard to gain knowledge so she could repay her parents' and the group's generosity.

The International Outreach Program is expanding with another trip to South America this summer where a team of the University's medical students and surgeons will take over a hospital for a week.
Doug Cowan, a first-year medical student from Overland Park, is organizing the trip. He is planning to take eight to 10 students along with three other doctors from the University.
They will take over the all-volunteer Hermano Pedro Hospital in Antigua during the first week of August. The hospital relies on teams of doctors who perform surgery and practice family medicine for one week at a time.

surgeries that are already in high demand there, such as removing patients' tonsils.
Cowan said the hospital charged the doctors a one-time fee of $300 for housing patients' families for the week and $50 for each surgery they perform.
Cowan's goal is to raise $25,000 through donations and a golf tournament fundraiser in May. The money will cover the patient's housing and treatment costs in addition to the cost of medical supplies.
And there's one other fee: the plane ticket. Cowan plans to apply for student travel grants and overseas work grants to help subsidize the cost.
He said it will cost about $1,000 per student to get there. But to him, the cost is not important.
"We're doing a small role in providing them medical care they would never get without us," Cowan said. "You don't come back thinking about the money."
He said these patients have no chance of ever receiving the surgery without volunteers like his group.

much about these problems.
As a medical student, Hayes said he was involved in organizations on campus, but he said he never looked outside his community, let alone the country. He said he was astounded by the program's drive to go beyond the regular medical program and its ability to cross new boundaries.
"Personally, I couldn't have done it as a medical student," Haves said.

Hayes said.
In the 18 months that the 40 members have been together, they have managed to find the time and earn the money to make a difference in the world, all while tests and everything else that makes up the complicated life of a medical student. As Cowan said, they may be playing a small role in someone's life, but it does seem to make a big difference.

"All my experiences have made me as hungry as I am," Guiel said. "If I was a 21-year-old rookie who got $3 million to sign, I don't know if I'd be as good a player as I am. I wouldn't realize what kind of price you have to pay."
The blond, stocky Canadian has driven in seven runs with six hits this season, including two home runs and the go-ahead RBI double in a 3-1 victory over the Indians on Friday night. He's also made three great defensive plays,
And without him, the Royals just might have half as many wins this year.
"We're 4.2 and without Aaron
"We're 4-2 and Guiel, we would probably be about 2-4," said third baseman Joe Randa.
He came within an hour or so of never making it to Kansas City. At 27, Guiel had been

released by Oakland and was stranded in the Mexican leagues. He called his fiance and told her he'd finally decided to give up. He was returning home to Vancouver to begin a new career in the family's commercial real estate business.
The call from the Royals came an hour later. Two years after that, at 29, he finally made his debut in the majors. This year, at 31, he went to the Royals' spring training camp assured for the first time
in his career of a job in the major leagues.
"I look at it like this," he said.
"There's a reason why I went down to Mexico. There's a reason why I played three years of winter ball. There's a reason why I had to go through the many things I did. It shapes you as a person."
One thing he learned was plate discipline. It was Gueli's two-run double in the seventh inning that broke a scoreless tie against the Indians on Friday night.
In Saturday's 7-6 victory over Cleveland, his left-handed stroke produced a two-run home run and a two-out, game-winning single in the 10th — against a left-handed reliever.
"People are going to be talking about how well he's swinging the bat, and he really has been hitting the ball," said Royals general manager Allard Baird. "But his defense is equally important, as is his presence in the clubhouse."

Spring catch
Ryan Cornell, Bismarck, N.D., third-year law student, caught a flyball yesterday evening at ShenK Park, located at 23rd and Iowa streets. Cornell was practicing with a friend, Cassie Pflannentstel, Hays, for a spring softball league in which they participate.

He said aesthetic improvements to Hoglund Ballpark had also encouraged more people to come to games. He said it was important people enjoy the venue they visit to watch their teams.
For athletics attendance in general, Marchiony said certain sports had progressed this year, but the department hoped to do even more.
In terms of promoting itself, Price said the team still had a ways to go. He said he wished for more events like quarter hot dog nights and other activities to draw the fans.

GREENE: Wilkes leaves with no hard feelings

immediately engaged in conversation as though we had known each other for years.
During the season, he remained the same around the media and with fans. His openness and free-flowing style was something that had been lacking for a long time in the serious world of Kansas basketball, and it was good.
Now Wilkes will move on to the West Coast, where he'll continue to mature as a person and a
player. He pretty much has his choice of schools in California, whether it be UCLA, Cal or Stanford.
Even if Wilkes did not achieve what he planned as a freshman at Kansas, there is no question that he left his mark. Go ahead and open the Kansan. It's a given that Wilkes' name will pop up daily in the Free For All, with someone either requesting to go with him to California, as one caller did recently, or proclaiming their undynd love for him.
Every player on the team
becomes a celebrity once they slip on that crimson and blue uniform, but few become such beloved figures to the fans in such a short period of time. Even if the numbers don't indicate it, Wilkes' freshman year at Kansas was still in a way a success. Despite his relationship with this school coming to an end, it's a safe bet there will be no sore feelings going in either direction.

Beckham consults with lawyers about reports
LONDON - England soccer captain David Beckham and his wife, Victoria, have taken legal advice over newspaper reports that he had extramarital affairs, said a statement released Monday by the couple.
"This weekend a series of even more absurd and unsubstantiated claims have been published about David and Victoria Beckham," the statement said.
"The couple continue to dismiss these stories and they will not be commenting upon them further at this time. Lawyers have been instructed by David and Victoria concerning these matters,"
said the statement, released by management agency 19, which represents the couple.
Last week, the News of the World tabloid reported that Beckham, 28, had a sexual relationship with his personal assistant Rebecca Loos, 26, between September and December.
Beckham issued a statement describing the Loos story as "ludicrous," but that did nothing to dampen media frenzy. When the Beckhams retreated to the French Alps for a skiing holiday last week, the newspapers followed them, looking for signs of strife or reconciliation.
On Sunday, Malaysian-born model Sarah Marbeck, 29, was quoted as telling the News of the
World she had sex with Beckham hours after meeting him in Singapore in July 2001. She said they spent their second and last night together in March 2002.
She claimed they called and sent mobile phone text messages to each other for at least a year, before they lost touch.
Beckham, who played for Manchester United, moved to Spain last summer to play for Real Madrid.
Victoria Beckham spends most of her time in England with the couple's two young sons, 5-year-old Brooklyn and 18-month-old Romeo. The former Spice Girl has been trying to rekindle her flagging pop career.
The Associated Press
Networks share resources to Iraq war economically
NEW YORK Concerned about the safety of their personnel, five American television networks have taken the unusual step of pooling resources to cover fighting in Iraq.
ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and Fox News Channel have agreed to share the reports of a single camera crew embedded with the U.S. military in Fallujah, the city that's been at the center of Iraqi violence since four American contractors were killed March 31.
Illustrating the danger, a CNN assignment editor in the pool, Tomas Etzler, was slightly
wounded in the head and back during an attack Monday, said Eason Jordan, CNN's chief news executive.
"There's no police force to speak of, civilians are engaged in military efforts, it's a very unstable situation," said Bill Wheatley, NBC News vice president. "There's not much law and order."
The five networks, which employ three normally competitive security firms, are also sharing information on safety threats in the region, Jordan said.
"it's fair to say that there's been an unprecedented level of cooperation and preparation among news organizations, especially TV news organizations, regarding safety precautions in Iraq," he said.
The pool in Falluijah is currently made up of personnel from different organizations. The networks are also supplementing coverage with material from news services like Associated Press Television News, which has been providing independent pictures from Falluijah.
The networks are also sharing use of a satellite dish to minimize travel along the dangerous road from Baghdad to Fallujah.
Networks are usually loathe to share resources and information but do so occasionally in unusual circumstances, such as the days following the Sept. 11 attacks.

HOROSCOPES
If you're so smart, why ain't you rich? This year, you'll have the aptitude to vastly increase the amount of cash you're earning. Focus your attention on making more money.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8.
All of a sudden you find it much harder to keep your opinions inside. A word of caution: You'll be more successful solving old problems than working on new ones.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 5.
For the next few weeks, you may feel that you're under more pressure. This will help you concentrate and achieve what you're after.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 9.
All of a sudden everything looks possible, and it might be. Launch new projects now, and write down the dreams you want to accomplish. You're hot!
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5.
If you concentrate on your
finances now,you're liable to discover an obligation you forgot about. Better to find it now than later.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8.
Others play an important role in your life, especially now. Listen to a spiritual intellectual and a warrior philosopher.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 5.
Concentrate on your work. There'll be a lot more of it coming in. Get a good routine in place so that you can crank it out effortlessly.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 10.
You're suave and intellectual—a real charmer, no doubt about that. And it looks as if you may have attracted a person who'll demand your full attention. Oh well, could be fun.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 5.
Your mind is on how to do your job more efficiently, and that's good. You certainly don't want to do it less efficiently, do you? Of
course not! Study.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is an 8.
Finding something interesting is a treasure beyond compare. You should be entering one of those phases of your life now. Keep digging.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 5.
There'll soon be more money coming in,but you may find yourself exhausted. Delegate some of the work,and get some well deserved rest.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 9.
Are you always right, or is it your self-confidence that makes it seem that way? No point arguing with success. Accept the compliments cheerfully.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 5.
You can make quite a bit of money, and hold onto it, if you try. Do your homework and turn a fantasy into marketable product.

Kansas basketball notebook
It's still possible associate men's coach Norm Roberts will leave Kansas before next season.
Roberts, a longtime assistant to Kansas coach Bill Self, is still a candidate for the
duplicate for the coaching vacancy at St. John's.
The Queens, N.Y.-based school is thought to favor Matt Doherty, a former Kansas assistant and former coach at North Carolina. But Roberts reported in
PRESIDENT
Roberts
reportedly impressed during his interview for the post.
One place Roberts will not be next fall is Miami. The Hurricanes filled their coaching vacancy with Frank Haith, an assistant coach at Texas. Roberts had interviewed for the post.

With freshman Omar Wilkes definitely leaving Kansas for a school on the West Coast and sophomore Moulaye Niang likely departing, Kansas could have two open scholarships for next season.
But, at most, Kansas will only add one player. Because of the NCAA's five and eight rule, schools can only give eight scholarships during a two-year period and only four in any one year.
Because Kansas used four scholarships this year on Wilkes, David Padgett, J.R. Giddens and Jeremy Case, it cannot give more than four scholarships this year. With Russell Robinson, Darnell Jackson and Alexander Kaun already on the way, that leaves Kansas with one scholarship to give.
Recruiting trail
Self recently was back someplace former Kansas coach Roy Williams rarely went during his time in Kansas, the East Coast.
Self was scouting 6-foot-6 prep forward Alex Galindo.
Galindo, who plays at St. Benedicts in Newark, N.J., is considering Kansas, North Carolina State, Pittsburgh and Rutgers.
Self recently flew out to meet with him. Galindo is a solid rebounder and shooter, who likely would back up Keith Langford and Giddens next season.
According to Rivals.com, a recruiting Web site, Galindo is the eleventh best small-forward prospect in the country and the 65th best player overall.
Malik Hairston, another 6-6 swingman still interested in Kansas, is thought to be the better overall player, and played in this month's McDonald's All-American game.

Promotions work for fans
Athletics Department strives to increase attendance of all KU sports
By Joe Bant
jbant@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The new athletics administration began this year at the University of Kansas with one of its goals to increase the fan base for all Kansas sports.
With most of its first year down, it has met that goal with varying results.
Women's basketball and football still sit at or near the bottom of the Big 12 Conference — last and second to last, respectively — but both sports saw an increase in attendance this year, one that the Athletics Department continues to work on. In addition, several other sports are also on the rise, a positive change the department attributes to winning programs and aggressive marketing.
"We'd like as many people as possible to come to games," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs. "Partly for revenue, but much more importantly, for the spirit and support it would give."
Marchiony said this year had seen success, but there was more to be done.
The programs he cited that needed the most work were women's basketball and football. Last season, an average of only about 1,500 people attended Kansas women's basketball games. The football average was at 38,750, almost 12,000 below capacity.
Marchiony said winning would be a key to getting those numbers up but was not the only factor.
"It itakes wins, but that's only part of it." Marchionny said. "The other part is
promotions."
Marchiony said he thought the department had done more this year to promote those sports than had been done in the past, and he projected greater promotion efforts in the future.
He said the department was in the midst of an aggressive campaign to sell football season tickets, and he was equally optimistic for the prospects of women's basketball.
"We will win, and we will promote the sport," Marchiony said. "Women's basketball is very important to us."
Marchiony cited soccer and volleyball as examples of sports that had increased their visibility this year. Exact attendance figures were not available yet for last season, but Marchiony said the success of those programs had
attracted more fan attention.
Volleyball coach Ray Bechard said he could also tell the difference this year in terms of fans coming to games.
"We had three or four sellouts last year." Bechard said.
Marchiony said a marketing plan was in place for volleyball season tickets that would further increase the fanbase. Season tickets for volleyball haven't been available in the past.
Softball team starts homestand
This year's baseball figures haven't been calculated yet either, with the season still going on, but coach Ritch Price said he continued to see improvement in the turnout from when he first came here for the 2002-2003 season.

'Hawks face more Missouri Valley Conference teams
By Jonathan Kealing
jkealing@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
The Kansas softball team did a pregame cheer to prepare for the Missouri game last Wednesday in Columbia, Mo. The Jayhawks lost to the Tigers 7-0. The team plays a doubleheader today against Wichita State at 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.
Another pesky Missouri Valley Conference team awaits the Kansas softball team today. First pitch in the doubleheader against Wichita State at 3 p.m.
So far this season, the Jayhawks have played four separate MVC teams, doing no better than splitting each series. Kansas went 1-1 against Southwest Missouri State and Bradley, 1-0-1 against Creighton and 0-1 against Southern Illinois.
Kansas will have a chance to improve its mark against MVC teams today, as well as next Monday when Southern Illinois comes for the other half of its series.
Since conference play started, Kansas has struggled to win consecutive series. In fact, Kansas' 2-6 mark in conference play has drawn its overall record down to 23-19-1. Kansas' only conference victories came in a two-game series against Texas Tech.
Most recently, Kansas dropped two to Texas A&M. In the first game, the game was called early in accordance with the eight-run rule. The Aggies had 10 hits in game two of the double-header in Waco.
In the last three games, the Jayhawks have recorded only eight hits.
Wichita State is 25-15 overall this season and owns an 11-4 mark in MVC play. While Kansas has had no problems beating the team in the past, its 69-12 record has meant nothing over the last two years. The Shockers have
won three consecutive games against the lavhawks.
Kansas will probably bring senior Kara Pierce to the mound to face Wichita State. Pierce has a 13-9 record so far this season. Junior Lindsay Craig will probably pitch for the Shockers. Craig's 15-6 record includes a 1.35 ERA. Her opponents' batting average is .185. None of this bodies well for a layhawk team which has struggled lately to find hits and to capitalize on them.
Sophomore Serena Settlemier is an exception to the batting problems which are haunting the Jayhawks. Her 11 home runs are just two short of breaking Kansas' single-season record held by Leah Tabb during the 2001 season.
Today's game is the start of a sixgame homestand which will include a rematch against Border War rival Missouri at 5 p.m. on Wednesday.
Kansas leads the all-season, all-sports Border War contest by a score of 16.5-8, according to www.kuathletics.com. As many as 15.5 points remain to be awarded.
Kansas will also play games against Oklahoma State and aforementioned Southern Illinois during the homestand.

sports commentary
As Georgia Tech ran off the final seconds of its Elite Eight victory over Kansas, Omar Wilkes was on his hands and knees on the sideline. He looked exhausted and on the verge of tears, with the emptiest of empty looks across his face.
If at anytime this season you were at a Kansas basketball game, without even looking at the scoreboard you could tell the game's entire story by the body language and expressions on Wilkes' bow-next-door face.
Like everyone on the roster, the freshman guard had his moments on the court this season. His biggest night came with a nine-point effort against Fort Hays State on Dec. 10. But
Wilkes' numbers were never overwhelming this year, and as he will be transferring at the end of the semester, the numbers are irrelevant. Wilkes has left his own legacy in his own fashion for Iavhawk fans.
While most will remember Keith Langford for his dunks, Wayne Simien for his tenacity and Aaron Miles for his heart, there are other memories of Wilkes. He was pure emotion on the sidelines. By fans, he'll be remembered for his constant chest-bumps and high-fives on the bench. He'll be remembered for always staying late after games with a huge grin on his face to sign autographs. He'll be remembered for always being an approachable figure on campus or at a club, even if you'd never before met him.
By his teammates, he'll be remembered for always being the life of the party. He always kept his team loose. For example, there was the locker room atmosphere the day before the Georgia Tech game. While everyone had their serious faces on for the media, Wilkes was able to lighten up the entire room. He saw a dry-erase
behind Bryant Nash, who was lost in his headphones, and drew an arrow towards the senior along with the message "I'm three months pregnant." It was that type of moment which helped him fit into a locker room filled with former high school All-Americans and Final Four veterans.
When Roy Williams signed the son of former Los Angeles Lakers standout Jamaal Wilkes away from UCLA, Jamaal's alma mater, fans immediately figured Wilkes as a key contributor. When he arrived in Lawrence, it took him some time to adjust being so far away from home and to find his playing role on a nationally-ranked, veteran squad. It helped him to be roommates with freshman David Padgett, who helped Wilkes adjust to school.
Fans got to see the true Omar Wilkes following the team's annual media day before the season kicked off on Late Night in the Phog. As I went to interview Wilkes for the first time, he

DELTA FORCE
KUnited
From left to right, Blake Swenson, Delta Force presidential candidate, Kevin McKenzie, Delta Force vice-presidential candidate, cheer on their hippie stereotype as he arm wrestles his opponent, the greek stereotype. Jeff Dunlap, KUnited vicepresidential candidate and Steve Munch, KUnited presidential candidate, cheer on their representative.
Vote KUnited for one community 'Kansan' editorial board endorses KUnited
So much for stereotypes.
This year the candidates for student body president and vice president are taking steps toward breaking common perceptions: KUnited as the greek coalition and Delta Force as the hippie party.
The Kansan editorial board recognized the changes. KUnited is the best coalition for the job. The candidates for KUnited were wellinformed and their platforms focused on University change.
Last Wednesday, the Kansan Editorial Board interviewed the executive candidates from both parties. Blake Swenson and Kevin McKenzie, president and vice-president candidates for Delta Force, arrived in suits and ties. KUnited candidates Steve Munch and Jeff Dunlap arrived in jeans and short-sleeved shirts. Neither coalition looked its part.
However, wardrobe was not the primary consideration as both groups presented their ideas about University of Kansas governance and the issues important to their would-be constituents.
OURVIEW
The Kansan editorial board voted to endorse the KUnited presidential and vice-presidential candidates for their knowledge and confidence in their coalition's platforms. Look inside for endorsements of each candidate and of the four referendums.

Student Senate is limited. Although a governmental body, the bureaucracy of the University ensures that student senators must work with University administrators to achieve substantial goals. The elected representatives also must be capable of working fast because of the one-year term.

needed for the job. Their persuasiveness and confidence was evident throughout the questioning, and their ease with each other Dunlap referred to the two as a couple displayed their potential to be effective leaders on campus next year.
KUnited's environmental platform is innovative and realistic. The coalition has developed a plan to mandate the use of biodiesel fuel—a cost-effective soy fuel - for the University's bus system. Munch and Dunlap, who has been the transportation board chairman, explained that because the University's transportation department was under the control of Student Senate, the idea was feasible and would solidify Lawrence's standing as a progressive community. The platform benefits the University with cost-effective fuel and may also benefit Kansas farmers.
Though Delta Force had a keen sense of the role the University played in the larger community, this year the focus should be on the campus. And while KUnited may be reaching with its fixed-tuition contract—a contract that would give students a set cost for tuition that cannot change during a student's four years at the University—at least it ran the possibilities by University administrators before presenting it as an achievable plan. KUnited's commitment to realistic and actionable goals will help guide the change wanted and needed by students.

Isn't it great that KUNited claims to be so environmentally friendly, and then they release lots of balloons into the air? That is just going to pollute the environment. Way to go. KUNited.

Kevin McKenzie of Delta Force and Jeff Dunlap of KUnited are the vice-presidential candidates. McKenzie, Salina sophomore, is a freshman/sophomore CLAS senator. Dunlap, Leawood junior, is a junior/senior CLAS senator.

All students can vote in the presidential and vice-presidential elections and can vote for senators within their academic schools. Students who live on campus can vote for one residential senator, and students who live off campus can vote for five-off-campus senators. Nontraditional students can also vote for three nontraditional senators.

Referendum A would allow students to vote online from any computer with Internet access, on or off campus. It would also eliminate the physical polling sites.
There are also three referenda on the ballot this year that all students can vote on.
The elimination of the physical polling sites was originally referendum B, but was combined with A, because it is contingent upon full online voting passing. Therefore, there will be no referendum B on the ballot.

Tony Daniels came to the University of Kansas in support of his wife and will leave the University for the same reason.
Daniels will resign as the associate director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs at the end of May to move to Ft. Collins, Colo., with his wife, Christina, and their son Antonio.
Daniels said his wife came to the University to pursue a PhD in

"I hope I've been able to bring a spirit of collaboration through what I've done that promotes positive relationships for all groups," Daniels said.
Even though he said the move would be good for his family, Daniels said he would miss the University and his role within it.
As associate director, Daniels serves as a liaison to all multicultural student organizations. In his three years at the University, he has been president of the Black Faculty & Staff Council, coordinated the Multicultural Student Success Conference and worked with organizations such as the Center for Campus Life and the Athletics Corporation.

Students are being encouraged to "pump blue" and "bleed crimson" this week as part of the annual KU Spring Blood Drive.
The Panhellenic Association, Interfraternity Council, Association of University Residence Halls, All Scholarship Hall Council, NROTC and KUAC are coordinating the blood drive in conjunction with the American Red Cross and the Community Blood Center. The week-long drive began Monday and will continue through Friday at various locations across campus.
Coordinators are hoping to top the number of donors from the blood drive last fall, said Abbey Lowry.

Library looks for expansion
Director wants to improve options at public library

Walking across a brightly-colored room, a University of Kansas student glances at a display of the latest best-sellers. He walks into a café and orders a mocha latté. Amid soft music and bright lamps, he sits down on a plush sofa.
In Bruce Flanders' mind, this student is not sitting in a fancy bookstore.
Flanders, director of the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., sees this student enjoying an improved
Lawrence Public Library.
At 7 p.m. Monday in the library auditorium, Flanders spoke about ideas for library expansion and relocation. The two-story 44,000 sq. ft. building is not large enough to accommodate a growing Lawrence population. He wants to increase the building's size to 80,000 or 100,000 sq. ft.
Flanders said he would not relocate unless another business moves into the building on 707 Vermont St.
"I don't want to leave an empty shell downtown." Flanders said.
A public computer lab, more private meeting rooms and a larger children's room ton Flanders' priority list.
If the Lawrence Public Library moves, it could move into the former Riverfront

All Scholarship Hall Council, NROTC and KUAC are coordinating the blood drive in conjunction with the American Red Cross and the Community Blood Center. The week-long drive began Monday and will continue through Friday at various locations across campus.
Coordinators are hoping to top the number of donors from the blood drive last fall, said Abbev Lowry.

Library looks for expansion
Director wants to improve options at public library

Kansan staff writer
Walking across a brightly-colored room, a University of Kansas student glances at a display of the latest best-sellers. He walks into a café and orders a mocha latté. Amid soft music and bright lamps, he sits down on a plush sofa.
In Bruce Flanders' mind, this student is not sitting in a fancy bookstore.
Flanders, director of the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., sees this student enjoying an improved
Lawrence Public Library.
If the Lawrence Public Library moves, it could move into the former Riverfront
"I don't want to leave an empty shell downtown." Flanders said.
Flanders said he would not relocate unless another business moves into the building on 707 Vermont St.
At 7 p.m. Monday in the library auditorium, Flanders spoke about ideas for library expansion and relocation. The two-story 44,000 sq. ft. building is not large enough to accommodate a growing Lawrence population. He wants to increase the building's size to 80,000 or 100,000 sq. ft.
A public computer lab, more private meeting rooms and a larger children's room top Flanders' priority list.

David Dunfield, commissioner defined Lawrence as a community center rather than a regional center. A WalMart at 6th and Wakarusa streets would be inappropriate for a community whose retail is focused in the downtown area.

SenEx confronts high prices of textbook packages
By Anna Clovis
aclovis@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Letters from the University Book Shop, 1116 W.23rd St., sparked debate about textbook prices in the University Senate Executive Committee meeting yesterday.
Kristin Vickers, the manager of University Book Shop, sent letters to Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Ray Davis, SenEx chairman, alerting them that the bundling of CD-ROMs and study guides with the text-books was a problem. Packaging the materials increases
prices, Vickers said.
Bundled textbooks negatively affect students by forcing them to pay more for newer versions and not allowing them to sell back the books to stores, Vickers said.
Vickers said textbooks bundled with consumable materials, such as CDs, could not be resold or reused by students or bookstores the following year.
Student Body President Andy Knopp said the bundled books were a way to kill the used book market. He said the packages weren't popular with students.

"I've bought the bundles
Knopp said he didn't buy books before classes began because he wanted to make sure the book would be worthwhile before he bought it.
"I consider myself a decent student," Knopp said. "I'm not a slacker, but now I either share books with someone or wait to buy until the third week of class."
Steve Shawl, SenEx member and professor in physics and astronomy, is the author of a textbook. He said the bundles were a

way to help publishers and authors make a profit.
Shawl said the bookstores were the problem for the higher textbook prices. He said bookstores marked the prices of books up one-third of the price before selling them.
Mark Ezell, associate professor of social welfare, said that because the problem was national, developing a university plan for dealing with the prices would be difficult.
The committee considered a
proposal to have faculty sign contracts that would bind them to using one book for a certain amount of time.
The committee took no action on the proposal but decided to send the concern to the Academic Policies and Procedures committee for further consideration.
Davis said he wanted to make sure students would be involved with this matter during the next year.
Knopp said students had tried to fix the problem in the past, but it remained a concern.

City gets final say on ban
By Laura Pate
lpate@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Smoke is rising over the possibility of a city-wide smoking ban in bars and restaurants.
Dave Corliss, city legal services director, is working on an ordinance to limit smoking and plans to present it to commissioners in May.
The ordinance will give commissioners specific choices when deciding if, or how, to ban smoking. It will present options such as choosing to allow smoking within a certain time frame or choosing to exempt some bars and restaurants from a ban.
Only commissioners have the final word on a smoking ban. But they cannot make a formal decision until the city's legal team presents an ordinance.
Corliss said the ordinance would be similar to the ordinances passed in Salina and El Paso, Texas.
undecided on the issue.
In January of 2002, El Paso banned smoking in public places and workplaces, which includes restaurants and bars. In May of 2002, Salina enacted a ban in restaurants.
Commissioners Sue Hack and Dennis "Boog" Highberger are
Hack said she has not decided between the rights of business owners to allow smoking and the rights of customers to breathe clean air.
While she is unsure of the government's right to control smoking, she is sure of the health risks of second-hand smoking.
"There's no question that it poses a health risk," said Hack, a former smoker. "I knew that every time I lit a cigarette."
Mayor Mike Rundle and commissioners David Schauner and David Dunfield are leaning in favor of a ban.
Business owners near Eighth and New Hampshire streets banded against a ban because all of the businesses depend on each other, said Josh Thomas, bar manager at Eight One Five, 815 New Hampshire St. If bar business fares worse with a smoking ban, then the other businesses will falter because fewer people would visit the area, he said.
The business owners formed the Eighth Street Alliance in March, and meet Thursday nights at area businesses. The group enacted a free choice smoking petition, which is posted at the bar at Henry's, 11 E. Eighth St.
On Friday night, Todd Barrett,
Hiawatha senior, sat in the back room of The Sandbar, 17 E. Eighth St. None of his friends were smoking at his table so he could enjoy some fresh air. But even in the 50-degree weather, Barrett refused to wear a coat. If he wore a coat, it would reek of smoke at the end of the night.
Besides hating the smell, Barrett has seen first-hand what smoking can do to people. As a pre-med student, he sees cancer patients and the problems that smoking can cause.
"People really don't know how detrimental cigarettes are until they are in a chair receiving chemotherapy," he said.
Others disagree, saying that there are other health risks.
Edited by Amanda Kim Stairrett
"If you're in a bar at midnight, you're not all that concerned about your health," said Marshon Robinson, as he waited in a line Friday night outside Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St.
The first-year law student from Rayville,La., refrains from smoking but said that bars and smoking go hand-in-hand. If the city banned smoking, bar owners would lose money, he said.

KUNITED
KUnited promises, delivers change
KUnited gets results. When we say we're going to do something, we intend to get it done. It sounds like a simple concept, but that is one thing that sets us apart in campus politics. And that, perhaps even more than our membership, our experience or our style, is why you should vote KUnited today and tomorrow.
COMMENTARY
In our two years on campus, KUinited has delivered on each of the promises that we've made to the student body. With this commitment to follow through, KUinited has brought new programs and policies to campus. This includes more student parking, the Jaywalk safe walk service, the Jayhawk Express free bus route and the online book exchange. Also included are the forthcoming online course evaluations and a new Multicultural Resource Center, which will open its doors in Fall 2006.
(left) John L. McKenzie and (right) Mark E. Kyle.
We don't just talk about the issues, we address them. We identify a concern and then we make feasible plans to correct it.
These are all initiatives and projects that current KUnited members have worked on. We're not merely taking credit for the successes of campus leaders from long ago, successes that no current senator had a part of. We're talking about the coalition as it stands today. With 25 returning senators this year, KUnited has already brought a lot of positive things to campus. If elected, we're going to build upon what we've already started.
For instance, students have seen dramatic increases in the cost of tuition during the last three years at the University. In-state seniors pay more than 50 percent more per credit hour than they did as freshmen. These unprecedented tuition increases are impacting every student on campus; however, instead of merely talking about the issue, KUnited has developed a plan of action.
Jeff Dunlap and Steve Munch
opinion@hansan.com
If KUnited is elected, we will work to institute a fixed tuition contract for every incoming class to ensure that the rate students pay as freshmen are what they will pay as seniors. It's a program that's been successful at schools such as Illinois and
Minnesota, and it makes sense for Kansas. By making this a part of University policy, we will increase accessibility to higher education, allowing families to plan ahead and ensuring that incoming students know they'll be able to afford degrees.
If elected, KUNited will also work to bring comprehensive wireless Internet to campus. This would allow you to surf the Web in class, on Wescoe Beach or even while camping in Allen Fieldhouse. Wireless access would benefit not only those students with laptop computers but everybody who has ever waited in line at a crowded computer lab. KUNited will ensure that the University stays current with technology, invests in the future and doesn't fall far behind peer institutions.
KUnited will also work to bring more campus parking and jobs to students. We'll work to provide better student representation in City Hall. We'll work to bring a recycling center to campus and cleaner fuel to the bus system.
We'll work like we have the last two years to ensure that a vote for KUnited is not a wasted one.
So this week, look for plans, not just ideas. Look for experience, leadership and results. Look for KUnited when you vote. Taking five minutes out of your day could directly impact the rest of your stay at the University.
Munch is a Bellvue, Neb., sophomore in history and sociology. He is the presidential candidate for KUnited. Dunlap is a Leavwood junior in political science. He is the vice-presidential candidate for KUnited.
CORRECTIONS
In the Election guide in yesterday's University Daily Kansan, there were a few errors. Jared Keller's picture ran with the name, Christina Stubbe. Also, voters will be able to vote for three non-traditional student senators, instead of two, because although a bill was passed in Student Senate, the election code has not been changed. The referendum items were incorrectly named by the Elections Commission. Originally Referendum A and B were on-line voting related. Now, they are combined as Referndum A. The other items will remain Referendum C and D. Referndum D will be a $1 per semester increase, not 50 cents.

DELTA FORCE
Delta Force focuses statewide; issues important to students
COMMENTARY
Kevin McKenzie and Blake Swenson
opinion@hanan.com
Tiananmen Square. Civil Rights Movement. Anti-War Protests. What do all these have in common? All were student-led movements. College students have long been the lifeline of successful political action, but in the last 20 years, students have become increasingly less powerful.
A growing apathy has been directly responsible for a weakened student voice. This must stop, and there is no reason it cannot begin right here on this campus. It is time that students believe their voices matter. We can no longer sit idly and watch decisions get made without our input. The University of Kansas needs leaders who feel that your voice can make a difference.
This election is more important than what platforms each coalition is offering. It is about a complete shift in what Student Senate can be. If you are only looking for a glorified StuCo, then stick with the status quo. But if you want real leadership, a Student Senate that is not the lackey of the administration and a Student Senate that you are proud to call your own, the choice is clear: Delta Force.
A vote for Delta Force is a vote for meaningful change and a truly unified campus. We recognize that we are not the only ones with good ideas and are
committed to working with all student leaders, including KUnited. The era of excessive partisanship in Senate must come to an end.
This campus needs elected officials who work just as hard in office as they do during elections. The reason no one believes Student Senate does anything is because the only time students see the Senate is in March and April during elections. This needs to change.
We want to bring on-campus improvements that are relevant to all students. Fix on-line enrollment. Expand SafeRide. Improve University Career and Employment Services. Enact a Dead Week policy, which prevents instructors from having tests or papers due the week before finals.
Maintain the Off-Campus Living Resource Center.
Our work will not stop at the borders of campus. We will fight for students in City Hall, Topeka and Washington D.C. A Delta Force Student Senate will work with our elected city council to repair potholes, sidewalks and lighting around campus and institute curbside recycling. We will pressure the state to fund higher education by working with other Board of Regents schools. We will unite student leaders from across the country and have the University lead the charge for a greater student voice at a national level.
The power is in you. Your vote will make a difference. This election is where the apathy can stop. We will do whatever it takes to get you to the polls, even give you a piggyback ride — that is how much we want every student to vote. More voter turnout means a more meaningful Student Senate and therefore opportunity for real change.
Swenson is a Topeka senior in political science. He is the presidential candidate for Delta Force. McKenzie is a Salina sophomore in American studies and political science. He is the vice-presidential candidate for Delta Force.

Student has head start on business-world dreams
By Samia Khan
skhan@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Mike Wilson has always been ahead of the game.
The Overland Park freshman owned stocks and operated an auto parts business by the age of 16. He is the youngest employee at a multimillion dollar mergers and acquisitions firm. But he has never believed he was too young for the business world.
When he was 16, his father bought him a black 1987 Corvette — a car that he said needed a lot of work. When he saw how expensive replacement car parts were, his father suggested he start his own business and buy the parts wholesale.
Wilson began Lefty's Auto Accessories, a retail aftermarket auto parts business that sold parts like wheels and body kits that make cars look nicer and drive faster.

Mike Wilson, Overland Park freshman, jumped into the business world early. At 16, he owned and operated his own business and bought stock in Pepsi. Wilson plans to pursue a law degree after college.
"Everybody realized my prices were so cheap, and they were loving me," he said.
His business spread by word of mouth, especially in his high school. Wilson never used filers or posters — his Corvette was enough advertising. Peers at school knew he was the guy with the Corvette, and eventually learned he had a parts business.
Wilson started a Web site but did not offer online purchases, meaning customers had to call him to order parts. This allowed Wilson to build personal relationships with his customers.
who need parts.
But Lefty's Auto wasn't Mike's last business venture.
His mother, Cindi Wilson, said he had always had good business skills. When Mike turned 16, he invested $1,500 of savings and birthday money in Pepsi stock.
Cindi said when Mike was younger his sister would spend all of her allowance money and ask for more. Mike would go to the bank and deposit his.
At the end of his senior year of high school, Mike realized he would be too busy with college to manage his business full-time. Now, he only helps close friends
"I was completely hooked," he said. "After that it was all I wanted to do."

Last year, Mike helped start a metal fabrication business that his father bought out. He designed the brochures and Web site for Midwest Metalcraft and Equipment Inc., his father's company. He also did the paperwork and research for the company's U.S. defense contracts and sales.
Last summer, Mike began working for Mid America Capital, Inc., a mergers and acquisitions firm. His duties included working in advertising and with banks, failing businesses and financial statements.
Jim Mueller, managing partner of the firm, said he was impressed with Mike. He said he hired him because of his work ethic, professionalism and entrepreneurial spirit.
Although Mike was the youngest worker at the firm by 12 years, Mueller said he carried himself like he was 10 years older.
Mike, who began his freshman year at the University of Kansas with more than 50 credits, will receive his undergraduate degree after two years. He will be a college graduate before he even turns 21
Mike plans to go to law school and eventually start his own business.
"it was always the kid with the plan," he said.
Mike's age has been his biggest road block, but it has driven him to succeed, he said. He said some of the businesses he had dealt with haven't take him seriously.
When he was running Lefty's Auto, the parents of his highschool customers thought he was stealing the products.
Much like he tried to turn around failing businesses at Mid America Capital, Inc., Mike turned the negative into a positive. The tagline for his company's Web site became, "Parts priced so cheap you
would think they were stolen."
The years of skepticism about Mike's age have never deterred him, and he'll continue to pursue his dreams in the business world.
"So many people laughed at me and told me it wasn't possible," he said.
Enforcement of parking spaces for disabled to increase

For the next two months, the KU Public Safety Office and the Parking Department will conduct random checks on campus to enforce disabled parking regulations.
The two departments decided to increase enforcements after receiving numerous complaints that students without disabled license plates or
placards were parking in disabled parking places, said Donna Hultine, director of parking.
Captain Schuyler Bailey of the Public Safety Office said he had planned several checks until the end of the semester. Bailey wouldn't say when or where the checks would be because the system was designed to be random.
Bailey said at the end of the two-month trial period, the two departments would evaluate
the results.
"We don't know what we'll find," he said.
Two to three people from each department will team up to do the checks. Bailey said the checks would not take away from the Public Safety Office's regular duties because he was bringing in the officers specifically for the task.
Hultine said both departments were responsible for the issue.
"it's against the law to misuse a pass so it's a legal issue," she said.
In the last two years, the Public Safety Office has issued 114 citations for disabled parking violations and the Parking Department has issued 485 citations, Bailey said.
The fine for blocking or unlawfully parking in a disabled parking stall on campus is $100.
Director of Services for Students with Disabilities Mary Ann Rasnak said she was pleased the departments were becoming stricter about enforcing the regulations.
"Parking spots are a premium for all of us and it's especially difficult for students with disabilities," Rasnak said.
Students who purchase a placard without buying a regular permit can park in only the disabled parking places, Huline said. She said those with both permits could park in any space, but students with mobile disabilities still faced problems with finding places and being far away from their destination.
"We're not serving the people who need it the most," she said.
Rasnak said she frequently received complaints from students, faculty and staff but didn't know what the main cause of the problem was.
"There's the sense there is some abuse, but it would be nice to confirm it," Rasnak said. "If abuse isn't the issue, then it's the number of spaces that is the issue."

DONATIONS: Giving blood benefits community

Klinkhardt said the coordinators have tried to attract potential donors with advertising and prizes.
Each donor will receive a goodie bag containing a blood drive T-shirt and coupons for free fast food items at various restaurants.
At the end of each day, there will also be two drawings for prizes ranging from a $100 Best Buy gift certificate to free bagels for a year from Einstein Brothers.
Donors will also leave with the satisfaction of knowing that donating one pint of whole blood, which includes red blood cells, white blood cells and plasma, can save three lives, said Kelly Rifenbark, Merriam junior.
Rifenbark, who donated blood
"You never know. One day you might be in a car wreck,and someone may save your life." Kelly Rifenbark Merriam junior
"Very few people actually go to the banks," Rifenbark said. "So it's great that they bring the blood drive here to campus."
Monday, has participated in the KU Blood Drive every semester since enrolling in the University in 2002. She said she also visited a blood bank to donate blood every two months.
Holding a blood drive at the University is an important part of keeping hospitals across the state stocked with blood for the one in three people who will
eventually need it, said Bev Kerbs, donor recruitment representative for the American Red Cross.
"A lot of the students are firsttime blood donors," Kerbs said. "And by us encouraging them to donate, a lot of times it becomes a habit for life."
Rifenbark said donating blood was a simple, quick act of community service that everyone who was healthy and eligible should participate in.
The donation process lasts approximately one hour. Donors must be at least 17 years of age, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and be in generally good health. For more information on eligibility requirements, visit www.kublooddrive.com.

LIBRARY: Special features make libraries distinct
Craig Penzler, chairman of the task force and of the library's Board of Trustees, showed plans from libraries in Topeka, Manhattan, Columbia, Mo., and Springfield, Mo.
The Topeka Public Library features cylindrical architecture, a bookstore, a cafe, book displays, televisions tuned to news stations and a large parking lot.
A limestone exterior helps the bi-level Manhattan Public Library fit in with its churchheavy neighborhood.
Columbia went the ecofriendly way, using recycled tires for carpeting.

library.
The Columbia Public Library trims down electricity bills by allowing natural light to shine through staggered windows.
Penzler said he was interested in installing staggered windows in Lawrence's library.
Springfield Public Library features a walk of fame dotted with the names of famous authors, and exists inside a former Payless Cashways store.
A Missouri Writer's Hall of Fame room with photos and first
editions of certain books, a pillared center for business executives and faux-glass lamps decorate the library. This transportation-themed library comes complete with a train station-style clock, hanging airplanes and a Route 66 sign splashed onto its tiles.
Lawrence library officials opt for a destination library instead of a themed library. A destination library would be a place that people would drive five miles to experience.
Flanders wants university students to suggest ways that the library could expand. He is developing focus groups with students from the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University.
"College students comprise a very large part of library visitors," Flanders said. "It's amazing how many use the library."

William Hung, the 21-year-old American Idol reject famous for his bizarre version of Ricky Martin's She Bangs, has signed a fivefigure contract with Playgirl to pose in an American Idol spread.
Hung said that although he had never seen himself naked he thought the pictorial would increase his odds to become the next Ricky Martin.
"Ishower in my underwear and don't look in mirrors for fear that they will steal my soul," Hung said.

Campus janitor tired of students' errant shit
Janitor U.P. Chuck McFlor shine is fed up.
in his 32 years at the University of Kansas he never had a problem with his job until this year.
According to McFlorshine, the 2003-2004 college year at the University has yielded the most bathroom messes he had seen.
"I've worked at KU since 1972 and never before have I mopped up more piss and shit," McFlorshine said. "These kids just keep missing their marks, and I'm not just talking about the fellas."
The University had no statistics on this issue. National statistics from the National Janitorial Review's 2001 study titled, "Toilet Misses: Silent but Deadly," show that although there is no real change from year to year in occurrences, 59 percent of toilet misses are alcohol-related.
The University of Kansas doesn't sell alcohol on campus, and McFlorshine said most of the leavings he cleans up happen during daytime hours when classes are in session.
"I just wish more students would drop their kids off at the pool and not next to the pool," McFlorshine said.
After being informed of the issue, Mary Sunkiss, University
"I thought that maybe if we allowed students to regress back to the time in their lives when potty-time was a celebrated game, then they would try harder to hit their marks," Sunkiss said.
The proposed program would be titled, "KU Students — Stay On Target."
Public Relations, has proposed painting targets inside University toilets and urinals.
CHANCELLOR-LICIOUS
In addition to painted targets, posters would be placed around toilets and urinals.
Possible poster slogans include, "Loddy dotty, you likes to potty" and "Keep it in the toilet...don't bother nobody."

Kim said Hemenway knocked Eichman to the ground with a large wooden pepper mill and put him in a 'sleeper' hold. Hemenway subdued and berated Eichman for several minutes.
"That poor guy was whimpering a lot and the chancellor yelled, 'What's my name? I'm Robert Hemenway, bitch!'" Kim said.
In a press conference yesterday evening, the chancellor apologized.

Eichman dropped assault charges after meeting with the chancellor and his lawyers. Neither party would say what was discussed in the meeting but University representatives said a deal was made between the chancellor and Eichman.
Eichman was tight-lipped about the meeting but said he learned a valuable lesson.
"Yeah, I won't make that mistake again," he said. "That guy has arms like vice grips. If this chancellorling thing ever falls through, he could be a lumberjack or something."
Greek community doesn't care anymore

Students tired of helping young, old,poor, stupid

Kansan satire writer
According to a recent report, the University of Kansas greek community has done nothing to help anyone this semester.
"It's not so bad, really. We're not hurting anyone; we're just not helping. So actually, maybe it is helping. Let me think about that a sec," said Justin Simpson, Lawrence senior and Delta Alpha Gamma president, on the abrupt abandonment of community service efforts.
According to greek leaders, the traditional emphasis on service has been reversed because of a general feeling of boredom with making positive contributions to society.
"This new policy has really enriched my life. Before, I used to spend all this time trying to teach these really stupid kids to read. Now I go tanning and stuff. It's a better use of my time."
Allison Carvey Chicago sophomore
"I mean, seriously. I have, like, a hundred T-shirts from Days of Caring and stuff like that. Just once I'd like to have a Day of Sitting On Your Butt T-shirt," Sigma Kappa Phi member Krystal Kurtz, Oskaloosa junior, said. "It just gets old, you know?"
KU greeks report that they
have spent the thousands of hours saved by being shamelessly self-interested on such pursuits as playing Frisbee, doing their nails and getting wasted.
"This new policy has really enriched my life," Nu Epsilon Tau member Allison Carvey, Chicago sophomore, said. "Before, I used to spend all this time trying to teach these really stupid kids to read. Now I go tanning and stuff. It's a better use of my time."
"It's probably better for everyone," Kappa Sigma Delta member Bryce Johnson, Mission junior, said. "Those old people I used to visit at the retirement homes were always yelling at me for interrupting their naps."
"We're really proud of our KU chapter," Delta Nu Omega spokesman Carson Keller said in a statement. "It takes a special

group of people to recognize that they weren't making a difference anyway. Kudos to them."
Awards traditionally given out for outstanding community service have been discontinued in response to the change.
New awards are being designed for nontraditional categories such as Best Highlights and Perkiest for the sorority division, and Highest Alcohol Tolerance and Most Resembling Abercromble Models for fraternities.
"We're all really psyched about the new categories," Chi Alpha Beta member Chelsea Chambers, Denver senior, said. "It's about time we were recognized for something we're actually good at."
"The judging for the new awards will be a lot fairer. Is that a word?" housemate Ashley Robert, Lawrence junior, said. "Before, people would count the hours they weren't driving drunk as service. That kind of seems
like cheating to me."
Just because they have removed themselves from society doesn't mean they aren't helping others, some greeks insist.
"My mom always says that service begins at home," Kappa Theta Omega member Leslie Randolph, Omaha, Neb., senior, said. "Now that I'm not doing community service, I have more time to give my roommate advice about her love life. What could be more selfless than that?"
As KU greeks win praise from campuses across the country. University administration is also commending the Greek community on its new policy.
"Here at KU we pride ourselves on being innovative and forward-thinking," Chancellor Bob Hemenway said. "I think these kids are definitely on the right track."
Quick, while your teacher isn't looking, draw pretty picture here!

University administration presented its resolution regarding low pay for teachers to KU faculty and staff yesterday. To curtail the low morale amongst professors, the administration proposed a unique solution to fund pay raises: mandatory plasma donation or egg harvesting for all incoming freshmen.
"It's not a radical procedure but a progressive way to prevent tuition increases," said David Shulenburger, provost and executive vice chancellor. "We're surrounded by healthy young men and women. The University views plasma donation and egg harvesting as a legitimate means to combat budget cuts without affecting tuition."
Shulenburger acknowledged that salaries at the University are in the bottom 10 percent among public research institutions.
Previously, University administration investigated decreasing athletic scholarships to alleviate

the lack of funding. The overwhelmingly negative response from the Athletics Department and private donors tabled that possibility.
Students were polled to determine their responsiveness to the proposal.
Said Dinah Kabble, Buhler freshman, "Another tuition increase is not an option for me. If I have to choose between plasma donation or paying more, I'll get my veins ready."
Donation sites will be set up at Watkins Memorial Health Center beginning August 2004.
Students are prohibited from enrolling until a donation is confirmed by the Bursar's Office.
To register, go to your Kyou portal and locate the Finances tab. Click on the option labeled Student Donation and you come
to Account Summary/Make a Payment. List your blood type, any current medications, and last day of menstrual cycle, if applicable.
Students should be aware that egg harvesting requires a semester-long commitment, and plasma donation a fiscal year. Those students not selected for the donation procedure must pay an extra campus fee.

Jean shorts bane of trendsetters
Springtime is here, and with the warmer weather comes an article of clothing that makes me want to vom. Jean shorts. As a Greek trendsetter, it is my responsibility to suggest that anyone who owns denim shorts immediately gives them to the homeless, or at least sell them to Arizona Trading Company, 734 Massachusetts St.
commentary
Look, when I'm sitting in my Biology 100 lecture, hungover from drinking too many Tequila Rose shots with my girls at The Wheel, the last thing I want to see is some heinous, tight, eighth-grade-looking pair of shorts that don't go with anything. They're sick. When was the last time you saw anyone from Friends wearing jean shorts? It would be like seeing Rachel with a perm.
MALISSA ROSA MARICOLI
Lexus Louis Vuitton beak@kansan.com
I love being a trendsetter and please don't call me a follower. I have my own style and it's a little quirky! It's a mix of Tara Reid (post Carson), Cameron Diaz (with Justin) and Reese Witherspoon (any time period, but especially Sweet Home Alabama). As a sorority woman, I choose to express my individuality every day. For example, my roommate's favorite color is pink. Mine is pink too, but more of a hot pink. My choice of a fresh, flirty hue is only one of the many ways I express my unique personality in a trendstyle.
The one form of jean shorts I'll approve of is a low-rise, faded, hip-hugging model that I've seen Paris Hilton wearing on FOX's The Simple Life. They can be cute with a pair of heels and a Tiffany charm bracelet. It says casual, but cute.
I hate to say it, but if you wear a nasty pair of jean shorts, you are encouraging the stereotype that you don't have a life and don't
care about your appearance. Even on the days when I've been out at Fatso's and then an after party at Sigma Nu, I still find the time to pull my hair back in a messy-but-cute ponytail, throw on some Juicy sweats, flip-flops and my favorite pair of huge sunglasses. I saw Jamie-Lynn DiScala wearing the same thing on a Melrose shopping spree with her hot husband in US Weekly.
Not everyone can be a trendsetter, but you can at least take some hints from those of us who are. Guys, why not try substituting your jean shorts with a cute pair of cargo pants? Ladies, a cute short skirt is just as easy to throw on and looks hot with anything. Follow your own individual style, just make sure it's not nasty. If you have questions, why not check out my sorority's party pics online? With the thousands of photos of us mugging for the camera, you're sure to find one outfit that inspires you.

Replay patrons attacked with water balloons
A fury of water balloons were released above the patio area of the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., at 1:40 a.m. Saturday
Replay bartender Ernie Black estimated that more than 300 water balloons rained down upon the packed crowd of stumbling patrons.
"Oh yeah, right after it happened, there was nothing but silence," he said with a smile. "And then came the cussin' and the screamin' of course."
"I felt like a child again," said Mike Trewolla, Twin Falls, ID, senior, about falling balloons. "Luckily, I was wearing my nauga hyde jacket which is almost completely water-resistant." he said.
Lawrence rookie investigator Benny Goodcop said that the balloons were likely slung from the top of a nearby building.
While no single person or organization has claimed responsibility for the strike, Goodcop suspects a strong link to the Greek community.
Goodcop says a taskforce found Greek lettering inscribed on several of the ruptured balloons.
"The prank was probably an attempt of the Greeks to gain a foothold against the recent insurgence of independent-minded downtown hipsters," said Goodcoop.
Still, others have credited the elusive Lord Wadsworth for conjuring the event in an attempt to defame the Greek community while, at the same time, fooling Lawrence's most pretentious demographic.
After much debate and counsel, Lawrence arbiter Dave Byrline insists that the surprise attack could not have been prevented.
New high-fat diet endorsed by FDA

Mrs. E's, Market to offer fatty deals to KU students
By Nicki London
beak@kansan.com
Kansan scriet writer
University of Kansas students who enjoy the crispiness of a fresh salad or the tantalizing aroma of baked salmon will soon be trading in their Carb Solutions and vegetarian diets.
In response to the lack of benefits offered by these so called "health foods," the Food and Drug Administration is installing an all-fat diet plan.
The FDA reported that in 2003, 70 percent of Americans were on low-carb or no-carb diets. This meant new products that were profitable for producers and beneficial to consumers.
Food services across the nation will be urged to provide their customers with alternatives to salads and sub sandwiches.
These included low-carb donuts, cereal, bagels and pasta. Even marketing no-carb sodas, beer and oatmeal became popular.
"healthier" foods weren't helping the health of Americans, the FDA proposed new guidelines.
After learning that these
These guidelines require foods to be cooked in 100 percent lard, contain 50 percent cholesterol and have double the calories of the original product and will be in effect by late August, FDA officials said.
What does this mean to Americans who live on vegetables and fruits? It means getting your new standardized diet from your favorite restaurant or grocery store.
McDonald's plans to offer super sizing for their super-sized meals, offering two pounds of America's favorite fries per value meal.
Melena Robinson, Leavenworth junior, said that customers were coming in dovers to eat America's favorite fries.
"Business has really increased since the low-carb diet phased out," she said. "People are buying up our fries like there is no tomorrow."
Grocery stores will be shipped nonlean meats that will replace the stores' current supply of lean meats.
What does that mean for KU students who can't afford prime rib, deep-fat fried taters and
cherry-cheesecake for dessert? It means looking for substitutes to satisfy their hunger and their wallets.
The Market in the Union will offer buy-one-get-three-free personal pan pizzas on Fridays. This will help students reach the 14 bread servings allotted by the FDA.
Wescoe Terrace will also offer fat-soaked meals at discount prices. Students will be able to order toasted Twinkies and cheese danishes at the mere cost of $2 per dozen. Wescoe employees said this will help with the recommended daily sugar intake.
Diet sodas will no longer be permitted in vending machines, so pure sugar substitutes will take their place.
To counteract low-carb beers, companies like Miller and Budweiser will offer new darker beers that contain three times the calories of their older staples.
Dwain Lane, Topeka senior, has been frequenting the bars downtown to fill his carb needs.
College students may be wondering how they will be able to satisfy the FDA's high-carb recommendation. Have no fear, new beers are here.
"I usually have about six beers
before heading downtown," he said. "Then, through out the night, I probably have about eight more. I have my health to think about, you know."
Those who fear that they still may not get their daily fat requirements can stop at their local grocery store for "fat cues."
These cups come in sixpacks, much like pudding containers, and each contain 30 grams of fat.
Customers will be able to choose from animal or vegetable derived fat in an assortment of gooey, sticky textures.
Stacey Romano and Amy Franco, Joplin, Mo., juniors usually buy both varieties and share.
"We'll sit on the porch and see which one of us can eat it the quickest," Romano said.
Franco said it was good to have a dieting partner.
"It's fun getting fat with your friends." she said.

Parking department overcome by loony obsessed with avoiding fine

Alex Harmon, fifth-year senior, was feeling bad about himself.
It was a bright and sunny day when Alex went to the doctor at Watkins Health Center.
According to Harmon, this was largely due to a "giant egg-sized growth in my throat" that turned out to be the worst case of tonsillitis seen at Kansas University in several years.
Normally, the tonsillectomy procedure is relatively brief, completed in an hour or two. This was not the case with Harmon — he had to deal with the ever-present danger to his car.
No one was trying to break in, nor was anyone stripping down his hardware. No one was hot-wiring it or keying it.
However, his car was in danger of meeting with a character straight out of the University's oldest lore; the meter maid.
"The first twenty minutes of the tonsillectomy were fine, but I only had 53 cents on me when I got there. After those twenty minutes I had to go search my car for more change so I wouldn't get a ticket."
"I told her ' [expletive] that, why the [expletive] would I want to do that?"
Alex Harmon Fifth-year senior
And so with shaky legs, a bloodstream full of anesthetics, and rivulets of spitle running down his chin, Harmon made his way drunkenly into the parking lot.
Upon arriving at his car, he realized he had left his keys in his clothes. After realizing he'd left his clothes in the health center, he realized he was nearly naked.
"I was just a little embarrassed," Harmon said. "Didn't even cross my mind when I was walking out the door."
He ran in and retrieved his clothes and keys, only to find a total of 16 cents in his car after searching "every freaking crack
and crevice." This bought him another six minutes of surgery.
Doctors had warned Harmon not to leave during the surgery, but he was too concerned with avoiding the pink envelope to care about his surgery, his tonsils or his life. He was also warned that physical activity such as walking or dancing on the street in front of Watkins half-naked in an inpatient gown for change from strangers could seriously jeopardize the surgery and the effectiveness of his anesthesia. He persevered anyway.
"Who wants to pay a $20 ticket on top of their medical bills? I was willing to do just about anything to avoid it," Harmon said. "Except for the public nudity charges pressed by that girl that almost wrecked her car after seeing me, I think I made the right decision."
At one point, Harmon said, a parking department representative was about to leave a ticket, but ran away when she saw Harmon lurching toward her.
The representative, who opted to remain anonymous, commented that the scene was
vaguely familiar.
"He looked like someone out of Night of the Living Dead, all drooling and glassy-eyed," she said. "When he got closer, he started gyrating and mumbling something like, 'Mambo mambo, I got mambo for days,' and that's when I took off."
Harmon's story does not end in the same anguish. He was able to raise a stupefying $2.50 in various nickels, dimes, and quarters for his spastic movements resembling the motions of someone en flambe.
It was this money with which he was able to purchase a full hour of parking. On his way back in for the last round of his tonsillectomy, a female receptionist informed Harmon of his right to petition any tickets received while in the health center for a procedure.
"I told her, '[expletive] that, why the [expletive] would I want to do that?" Harmon slurred. "I avoided the [expletive] ticket, up [expletive] front, you bet your [expletive][expletive] I [expletive] did."

Bush unveils "America of Tomorrow" marriage plan
By Nicki London
beak@kansan.com
Kansas saint writer
Riots broke out across the nation this week in response to President Bush's proposed marriage legislation, which would outlaw certain types of marriage.
After lobbying for his anti-gay marriage amendment, Bush now plans to restrict other marriages.
Taking time off from his war on terrorism, Bush is now focused on pushing his proposal.
Bush's new proposal would ban marriages that don't fit into his Christianized "normal man-
woman" standards.
This comes as a shock to most Americans who may be unaware of what "normal" means to the president.
After a brief conference at the White House, a news release was issued to inform the public of Bush's vision.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES SEAL

President Bush demonstrated how to properly push mixed raced couples aside when in public areas. Bush was speaking about the economy when he went off on a tangent about his new marriage proposal.
According to the release, the bans are designed to make America what it once was and could possibly be.
Bush emphasized that changes must be made in order to achieve his pure-bred "America of Tomorrow."
Bush's "America of Tomorrow" consists of conformity, which is being compared to the visions of Hitler and his elite race. Bush's plans are to take children at the tender age of three, send them to select labs around the country and program their thoughts and behaviors to fit into the "Christian, heterosexual and violent individual model of the most powerful nation."
Bush stressed the importance of purity which can only come from heterosexuals with a Christian background.
"I truly believe that the only functioning humans in this country come from homes where the father is a dominant figure and stresses the roles that are appropriate for the children. I think a good start is to weed out all the negatives that are affecting our children," Bush said.
Under Bush's proposal, no gay marriage would be allowed. He said in order to assure future generations of "normalcy," marriage must be between a man and a
The plan also regulates interracial couples. No longer will couples of different races be allowed to marry. Bush said in order to reach the perfect "America of Tomorrow," a pure race must be achieved.
woman.
Sasha Johnson and Michael Clark, Seattle seniors, feel that this is completely absurd. Johnson, an African American, and Clark, of Irish descent, plan a Spring 2005 wedding.
"This is absolutely ridiculous. What's next, limiting the number of children we are allowed to have? Bush needs to be stopped. The executive power has gone to his head." Johnson said.
Another regulation would forbid bilingual individuals from marrying at all. Bush believes the only language children should learn from their parents is English.
Bush also proposed age limits for those seeking to walk down the aisle or even to their local courthouse. Under his proposed legislation no one under the age of 33 would be permitted to wed. Bush said this was because of the high divorce rate among the young and immature.
Bush went on to suggest that small people, mentally insane, mentally handicapped, and physically handicapped people would
also be subject to strict regulations on marriage. He said that since they don't fall into the category of the "Perfect American of Tomorrow," they pose a risk to society and should lose marriage rights and possibly the right to reproduce.
Bush would also ban any American with a sexually transmitted disease from getting married.
"The spread of genital diseases is on the rise and Americans need to prevent this. But since they aren't doing anything about it, I will." Bush said.
Shocked Americans have been filling government offices and traveling to Pennsylvania Avenue in protest of Bush's proposal. Margo Brown, Lincoln, Neb., sophomore and gay activist, made the trip to Washington to protest the legislation.
"I feel that it is an extreme infringement on human rights. This will not stand. The 'normal' American of today doesn't fall into Bush's vision at all."
Petitions have circulated around the Internet to encourage Americans to fight against this injustice.
The legislation will make its way through Congress next week. There is no official word on what the vote will be.
City avoids fixing potholes English majors bulk up with 'roids to save money for hot tub Students linked in distribution ring after papers shrink
This photo from Section 112.5B of the City of Lawrence's constitution showed a pothole deemed acceptable by the Department of the Gradual Deterioration of Lawrence Road Before Repair. The constitution said a Beetle must be completely submerged before the city would take action.

Members of the Lawrence Police and Fire Department worked for two hours pulling a stranded motorist late yesterday afternoon out of what initially was reported as a sinkhole. A twist was added when the Kansas Geological Survey was called in and the gaping pit was deemed to simply be a larger-than-average pothole.
"It's a biggie," senior surveyor Greg Gillam said.
The motorist, whose wished to remain anonymous, suffered minor wounds and damaged pride.
"I was so amazed at the size of the thing," the victim said. "I just froze up."
An eyewitness to the event claimed that a short bus could have easily fit into the pothole. To make matters worse, the car was totaled, and the motorist's insurance did not cover pothole damage.
Although it sounds unusual, the City of Lawrence has a special department to deal with this kind of situation. The DGDLRBR, or the Department of the Gradual Deterioration of Lawrence Road Before Repair, has clearly defined regulation laid out in the city's constitution. Section 112.5B states:
"Repair crews for the roads within the city limits shall only be dispatched if the damage to the road should cause motor vehicles, ranging from mid-sized trucks to minivan, to become stuck in them. Volkswagen Bee
ties must be completely submerged in the road before any action should be taken."
This policy may seem harsh, but City Commissioner Bill Harman defends it. He said if adequate funds were allocated to the repair of the streets, it would be a crippling blow to the funds for City Hall's new rooftop pool and hot tub project. He noted that there is an arcade downtown offered "training courses" in dodging obstacles like potholes or asteroids for a mere 25 cents.
When Elizabeth Newman, president of the PADGDLRBR, or People Against the Department of the Gradual Deterioration of Lawrence Road Before Repair, called this justification a crime against humanity, comparing Commissioner Harman to "a big fat man who kicks puppies," Harman responded, "Well, have you seen how far they fly?" Regardless of Harman's hobbies few Lawrencians see the point in the rooftop pool, especially when
such projects endanger children.
The superintendent of schools even got in on the argument, complaining of a time when a school bus carrying twelve young students, eager for knowledge, became trapped in one of these 'potholes' or as the Superintendent called them, "Big Mutha F****ing craters." Tragically these kids did not make it to school on time and were labeled as children left behind.
"In compliance with the president's wishes," the superintendent said. "All of those children have been expelled. I'm proud to say Lawrence's schools still have no children left behind."
The City Commission frolics in a bubbling fountain like a band of sorority girls after Bid Day while columns of black smoke rise from burning school buses. Some antipothole activists also suggest that pro-active citizens take to the streets with pickaxes and sledgehammers to speed the need for road repair.

First baseball diamonds, now classrooms.
Two English Department students were linked in a steroid-distribution ring, according to information given to The University Daily Kansan yesterday.
Graduate students Mark Riley, Topeka, and George Robinson, Chicago, were reported to have received steroids and human growth hormone from a nutritional supplements lab implicated in a steroid-distribution ring.
Both students were concerned about their ability to compete in the cutthroat essay writing classes that they were enrolled at in the English Department, but both deny ever using steroids.
Riley refused to comment when confronted at his dorm room in Ellsworth Hall, softly telling a reporter: "Get out of my hall."
His floormates said they would not comment on the report.
Robinson was not available for comment.
"We continue to adamantly deny that Riley or Robinson was provided, furnished or supplied any of those substances at any time by their TAs," their attorney Angela Rains told the Kansan yesterday.
Alleged steroid use in the classroom has always been a problem for Riley and Robinson, but Riley's position as the top paper
"A guy doesn't go from writing 7,500 words minimum for two semesters and suddenly write a 5,250 mid-term. Something's going on here,and you just can't ignore it."
Ryan Jackson Teaching assistant and paper evaluator
writer in the department makes case even more troublesome. After starting his academic career as a geography major, he soon switched to English.
In only two semesters, Riley went from a guy who wrote many papers to a power writer, someone who routinely wrote 5,000 word essays.
Many students consider Riley to be the premier writer of his class.
He attributes his output over the semesters to intense weight training, proper diet and a regimen of legal study aids, such as caffeine and energy pills.
However, after testifying in the Student Senate's hearing on steroid use in the classroom, his name has swelled in talk of illegal use of student's use of anabolic steroids and the human growth hormone to improve grades and papers.
Since the hearing, the subject of steroids has swept the English Department this semester, prompting many professors to
take a closer look — fairly or unfairly — at many of its term papers.
Several mid-term papers, including Riley's and Robinson's, have been described by some as shorter than usual.
"His paper looked shorter to me," said Bruce Maxwell, Robinson's English 336 Jewish American Literature and Culture professor. "Riley writes long papers and it was still a long paper. I didn't think it was drastic."
However, others have questioned the difference in length that has been noticed all around the department.
"A guy doesn't go from writing 7,500 words minimum for two semesters and suddenly write a 5,250 word mid-term," said teaching assistant and paper evaluator Ryan Jackson. "Some-things going on here, and you can't just ignore it."
The University of Kansas is hoping that speculation from students and teachers alike does not get out of hand.
A recent memo to all students from Executive Vice Chancellor for University Relations Janet Murguia told them to decline comment on steroids.
Also, Chancellor Robert Hemingway hopes the English department can institute a zero-tolerance policy on steroid use similar to one that covers students in the School of Journalism.
"There's been enough comment," he said. "We know what we have to do and we're going to do it."

'Passion' star performs party tricks
Creed lead singer claims to witness miracles, loses nose By Crisco Ford beak@kansan.com Kansan satire writer
Creed lead singer Scott Stapp said Sunday that he had witnessed miracles. While at a "The Passion of the Christ is Still Powerful" party Saturday at The Snake Pit bar in Hollywood (renamed Holywood by partygoers for the night) Stapp claimed he witnessed The Passion star Jim Caviezel perform a series of miracles. The party was held for fans that had seen the film at least seven times.
Caviezel played Jesus Christ in the film and his initials, J.C., have caused some people, including Stapp, to believe there might be a
correlation.

"Ah dude, Jesus Christ, Jim Caviezel, come on," Stapp said
"Anhoozle, I was getting pretty
drunk on the house drink of the night, Purple Passion of the Christ, and I look over and J.C. (Caviezel) was surrounded by a crowd. I went over and found a place where I

could see. First, he asked a really hot girl if she had a quarter. She gave it to him and he clenched his fist around it. He put his hands behind his back and then brought both hands out clenched in fists. He opened one and then the other. And God have mercy on my soul if the quarter wasn't in either hand."
"J.C. asked us if we'd like to see him levitate."
Stapp said the crowd erupted with a cheer as they stood in disbelief. Caviezel quickly pulled the quarter from behind the woman's ear and the crowd applauded even louder. Stapp said he dropped to his knees and began to praise Caviezel.
Scott Stapp
Creed lead singer
Later in the night, around 1 a.m., Stapp said he, Caviezel, Mel Gibson, director of The Passion, and a few others went upstairs to the VIP room. The group smoked a "doobie" and started to wax philosophical about religion. That's when Stapp said the second miracle was performed.
"J.C. asked us if we'd like to see him levitate," Stapp said. "Of course we all said yes. J.C. stood in the middle of the room. We all watch as he stood very still and then he started to shake. I don't know man, even though Mel said he was standing on his tippy-tippy toes, I swear he was off the ground."
When asked to comment on Stapp's allegations of miracles, Caviezel said that what he did at the party were just tricks and that he also "blew Stapp away" with "got your nose," the removable thumb, and "is that your card."
"Stapp was really drunk, I think he got caught up in the initial thing," Caviezel said. "I used to perform tricks at kids' birthday parties as Jokey the Clown. Hey that's J.C. too . . . Maybe I am the Son of God."

Tyson, Love meet in LA. top 'freaky couples' list
People Magazine reported this week that Mike Tyson and Courtney Love have started dating.
According to Love's publicist, the pair met at a Los Angeles Chuck E. Cheese restaurant.
Love was there with her 11-year-old daughter.
Love
Francis Bean, and Tyson apparently attended the restaurant alone.
"I just knew they would hit it off," Heidi Schaefer, Love's publicist, said. "They actually have a lot in common. Both like fighting, drinking . . . and yelling."
Love was most recently
charged with assault March 17 after accidentally striking Greg Burgett, 23, with her microphone stand and sending him to the hospital during a show at the New York City club, Plaid.
Tyson's last assault charge occurred last June when he alleges he was attacked in a hotel lobby by an elderly Chinese woman, a wizard and two pirate ghosts.
When asked what she saw in Tyson, Love said, "Mike is a fart in a room of cleanliness and godliness. And cleanliness is godliness and I need a goddamn drink!"
When asked the same question about Love, Tyson responded, "Courtney is me precious. I think when you people talk about me crazy and stuff, you ain't know me. Bush framed Michael Jackson. He's innoculent. He gave all those kids massages and stuff and no one thanked him. Have you seen my pigeons?"

Roberts: St. John's bound
By Ryan Greene rgreee@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Kansas officially lost its top assistant yesterday, when associate head coach Norm Roberts accepted the head coaching job at St. John's.
Media reports, including a column by ESPN.com basketball writer Andy Katz, said the job was Roberts'. Yesterday's press conference confirmed the reports.
Roberts will leave after just one season in Lawrence to take the helm of the Queens, N.Y., based school. A long time Self assistant, Roberts has been with Self since his days at Oral Roberts.
He is Self's sixth assistant to leave for a head coaching job since Self became a head coach
Coaching St. John's will mean a return home for Roberts, who grew up in Queens.
"It's very exciting to coach in New York again, the place where I always
In Roberts, Kansas coach Bill Self loses his top assistant and one of his most effective recruiters. Roberts is renowned as one of the best recruiters in the country, particularly in the New York area. He is credited, for example, with signing Brooklyn native Russell Robinson to Kansas. Kansas will likely look for a strong recruiter to replace Roberts.
dreamed of doing the job," Roberts said.
Though not available for questions yesterday, Kansas coach Bill Self issued a release through KU's media relations. Self said he was excited for Roberts.
"He very much deserves this opportunity, and he will be a fantastic head coach," Self said. "He's proven to be one of the very best in our business. He's an excellent recruiter, he's an excellent coach and he conducts his business in a manner which any university would be proud."
St. John's, the most storied college basketball program in New York City,
appears to be a perfect fit for Roberts. A native of Queens, Roberts was the head coach at Queens College from 1992-95, he's the school's second all-time leading scorer, and has established solid recruiting ties in New York City.
Roberts met with St. John's President Donald Harrington and former St. John's coach Lou Carnesecca on Monday.
He was the only candidate that Harrington had two meetings with. The two other big-name candidates for the job were former North Carolina head coach Matt Doherty, and current DePaul head coach Dave Leitao.
There was concern over Doherty's exit from North Carolina a year ago, and Leitao withdrew his name from the list to continue to build at DePaul.
At St. John's, Roberts will inherit a team coming off of one of its worst seasons in the history of the program.

Softball team splits home series
By Jonathan Kealing jkealing@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
sophomore shortstop Destiny Frankenstein threw the ball to first base during the top of the seventh inning yesterday afternoon. Kansas defeated Wichita State in the first game 1-0 and lost the second game 1-2.The softball team takes on Missouri today at 5 p.m.

Kansas split another series with a Missouri Valley Conference team,with a win and a loss against Wichita State yesterday.
The games move Kansas to 26-16, including a 2-6 record in the Big 12 Conference. Wichita State moves to 26-16, remaining 11-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Game one was a 1-0 Kansas victory and game two ended 2-1 in favor of Wichita State.
Freshman hurler Kassie Humphreys recorded the victory in game one, improving her record to 11-7. In addition to pitching the entire first game, she returned for the last 2.2 innings of game two to relieve.
Kansas won game one on a mistake by Wichita State first baseman Lisa Jones.
Sophomore shortstop Destiny Frankenstein then hit to Jones, who dropped the ball. Stanley made it home and Frankenstein reached first base safely.
Wichita pitcher Lindsey Craig nailed sophomore left fielder Heather Stanley, sending Stanley to first. She then stole second base, and made it to third on an over-throw.
The Shockers threatened several times in game one before Humphreys was able to put them away.
"We caught a couple breaks today," Kansas coach Tracy Bunge said. "I felt like they were the first breaks we've caught in a couple weeks."
In the top of the fourth, the Shockers loaded the bases on a sacrifice bunt and a missed double-play with just one out.
Humphreys then struck out Jones before forcing freshman shortstop Julie Darling to ground to second base for the final out of the inning.
Humphreys recorded five strikeouts in game one and three in game two.
Serena Settlemier made her second start of the season in game two. Settlemier is still recovering from an off-season arm surgery.
"She had some glimpses of really good things," Bunge said. "She may have been losing it a little bit; I probably should have had a quicker trigger finger."
In the bottom of the first, Frankenstein drew a two-out walk. A line driven by freshman first baseman Nicole Washburn to left field allowed Frankenstein to come home.
The Jayhawks jumped out to a quick lead in game two.
A base running mistake by Washburn ended the inning there. As she headed for third, the catcher threw the ball to third where Washburn was tagged out.
Kansas maintained the lead until the top of the fifth when Settlemier lost control.
She gave up two line drives to right field, followed by two bunts before Bunge pulled her.
The two runs that came in were enough to win the game.
Settlemier had a relatively solid return, recording four strikeouts in four innings.
"I think I started out pretty well, and pretty confident, and then I left a few over the plate." Settlemier said.
That good start was not good enough for her though, saying she was disappointed with her game.
Kansas will meet Missouri today for the second of its two games this season. Last time the two teams met, Missouri destroyed Kansas 7-0. The game starts at 5 p.m. at Arrocha Ballpark.
Senior pitcher Kara Pierce will take the mound for the Jayhawks, looking to avenge her loss in the last game.

Funding disparity debated
By Joe Bant jbant@kansan.com kansan staff writer
Last week, ESPN put major league baseball's New York Yankees on trial to determine if the team was hurting baseball by outspending all the competition.
Ultimately, the jury let the Yankees off the hook, but professional baseball is not the only sport perceived by some to be in jeopardy because of inequalities in teams' budgets.
Some would level a similar indictment against the major athletics conferences of the NCAA.
The report uses data from 11 athletics conferences from 1993 to 2002. It includes the 'big six' conferences that participate in college football's Bowl Championship Series: the Big 12, Big 10, Big East, ACC, SEC and PAC 10. It also includes five smaller conferences: the Sun Belt, Mountain West, Conference USA, WAC and MAC.
According to a recently released report published by Dan Fulks, accounting program director at Transylvania University, and research staff from the NCAA, a gap exists between the costs and revenues of larger conferences and those of smaller conferences. That gap is only getting bigger as time goes on.
The report finds a growing inequality between the budgets afforded to the smaller conferences and those of the larger conferences. The inequality is largest in the report's last year of reference, 2002.
In that year, the average spending of the six BCS conferences was around $34 million. In contrast, the same figure for the five non-BCS conferences was less than half that — about $14.3 million.
The gap in revenues was slightly larger at about $35 million for the BCS conferences versus just over $12 million for their non-BCS counterparts.
Interpretations as to what the disparity means vary.
To some, it represents a threat undermining the competitive integrity of NCAA Division One sports.
To others, it is just an inevitable part of the reality of how schools are distributed across the NCAA.
"The innate characteristics of some schools are going to determine the level they're able to compete at," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs at the University of Kansas.
Marchiony said a number of factors contributed to a college athletics program's ability to raise money. These factors include fan base, alumni base, donor contributions and a variety of others.
Some schools are just gifted with more favorable conditions than others. Marchiony said.
"This is America," he said. "It's not communism."

First-inning 'Huskers homers sets tone for victory last night
LINCOLN, Neb. — Alex Gordon went 3-for-4 with a home run and drove in four runs to lead Nebraska past Wichita State 7-3 last night.
Gordon's towering first-inning homer landed in the parking lot outside Haymarket Park's right-field fence and put Nebraska (25-7) up 2-0.
Wichita State (20-8) got one run back on Nick McCoola's second-inning home run and tied the score in the third.
Then Gordon hit a double into the left-center field gap to score Colin Shockey and Daniel Bruce. Gordon then crossed the plate on Braden Keith's single to right to give Nebraska a 5-2 lead.
The Shockers cut Nebraska's lead to two in the fourth and threatened again in the sixth. But Nebraska reliever Jeremy Becker got Logan Sorensen to ground out to shortstop with the bases loaded to end the inning.
Curtis Ledbetter added two insurance runs for Nebraska, driving in Jake Mullinax with his home run in the eighth. Wichita State got one run in the top of the ninth inning.

Bonds passes godfather's home run mark
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds outdid his godfather—and he has just two more hitters to chase.
Bonds hit his 661st home run last night, passing Willie Mays to take sole possession of third place on baseball's career list.
In the seventh inning Bonds hit a 1-2 pitch from Milwaukee right-hander Ben Ford over the right-field arcade and into McCovey Cove, reaching the water for the second straight day. The San Francisco slugger hit his 660th on Monday to nearly the same spot.
Bonds has said he can't imagine pass
Only Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron still loom above Bonds. If Bonds maintains his unbelievable pace of the past four seasons, he could pass Ruth's 714 homers early next season.
"I've never seen a better player in my life," said former Giants third baseman Matt Williams, who threw out the first pitch at last night's game. "I don't think anybody changes the course of a game like he does."
Bonds, who will turn 40 in July, hit 213 homers in the previous four seasons including a major league-record 73 in 2001.
He hit his 659th on opening day in Houston, but as he usually does, Bonds waited until returning home to San Francisco to hit his most historic homers.
Bonds didn't really celebrate his 661st, calmly dropping his bat and circling the bases as the sellout crowd stood and roared. After touching home plate, he pointed into the stands at his family.
Bonds took a short curtain call, and he got yet another standing ovation when he took the field for the eighth inning.
It was Bonds' 29th homer into McCove Cove, where the ball apparently was retrieved by the same kayaker who got Bonds' 600th and later gave it back to the slugger.
The park didn't have quite the same buzz as it did Monday night, when Bonds smashed a fifth-inning homer into the cove. The media contingent was roughly halved, and sports legends Wayne Gretzky and Bill Russell weren't in attendance, as they were Monday night to celebrate Bonds' sixth straight MVP award.
Bonds' latest statistical marvel has been accomplished under the shadow of steroids and the criminal investigation surrounding his personal trainer. Ever
Williams, Bonds' teammate in San Francisco for three seasons, said the steroids controversy has given baseball "a black eye."
"I know him as a han. Not many people do," Williams said. "If it's proven, then I think it's going to put a black mark on baseball. Will I think any less of him? No. You can be as strong as you want to be. You still have to have that proper technique. That can't be taken away."
Bonds' transformation from a five-tool leadoff hitter to his generation's best power hitter has pleased manager Felipe Alou, who saw a similar change in the other greats atop the home run list.
"He's doing what most guys did," Alou said. "He used to steal bases. He's stopped running bases. That's what Hank did. There comes a time when age (catches up), and you've got to do one thing: hit the ball out of the ballpark."
Clemens extends scoreless streak in victory
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Roger Clemens allowed just two hits and extended his scoreless streak to 13-2-3 innings before giving up a run in Houston's 5-3 victory over St. Louis last night.
Clemens (2-0) struck out three, walked three and hit a batter in 6 2-3 innings. Last week in his Houston debut, he allowed one hit in seven shutout innings against San Francisco.
The 41-year-old Clemens, in his first season with his hometown Astros after winning six Cy Young Awards in the
American League, threw 105 pitches in shutting down the Cardinals.
A scoreboard radar gun reading showed Clemens' fastball consistently hitting 94 mph early in the game and 93 mph into the sixth. He received a standing ovation when he left the game.
St. Louis entered the game hitting an NL-best .309, and had scored at least five runs in each of its first eight games.
The Cardinals didn't get a hit until the fourth, when a base-running mistake cost them a chance at a run.
Marlon Anderson was hit on the foot
leading off the inning. One out later Clemens picked off Anderson, who tried to steal a split-second too soon. Two pitches later, Edmonds doubled. He was stranded when Rolen grounded out to short.
St. Louis finally scored in the seventh. Rolen walked with one out, went to second on a fielder's choice, and scored on Reggie Sanders' single. Sanders was 1-for-2 with two walks and two stolen bases.
Albert Pujols hit three balls hard off Clemens, but was 0-for-4. He flied out to the center-field track twice and lined to
center, with Biggio making a sliding catch.
Cardinals starter Jeff Suppan (0-2) pitched well after allowing Everett's homer in the first and Berkman's in the second, retiring the next 13 batters after Berkman's homer. Suppan allowed six hits in seven innings, struck out seven and walked none.
Houston's Richard Hidalgo led off the ninth with his fourth homer of the season off reliever Jason Simontacchi. In all three appearances this season, Simontacchi has given up a home run to the first batter he has faced.

Bowler sets sights high
By Jason Elmquist
jelmquist@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Just like Wayne Simien and Aaron Miles, Ryan Jacob Page represents the University of Kansas at sporting events. The difference? Page is a bowler.
Page, known to many as Rhino, has been a part of the success of the KU men's bowling team for the past two years.
He was a member of last year's team that finished fourth at Nationals in Tulsa, Okla.
This weekend both the men's and women's teams will compete at the Intercollegiate Bowling Championships, again in Tulsa.
Part of the success of the men's team this year has been because of Page.
As the men's leading bowler, he hopes to help improve on last year's finish.
Page is a native of San Diego, Calif. He is currently a sophomore majoring in Atmospheric Science
Bowling has been a part of Page's life for some time. Atage 4, Page joined his first bowling league.
"My parents bowled in a league," Page said. "I remember being in the nursery, looking out, and always thinking that I wanted to bowl."
Gerry Keslar, a three-year veteran of the Professional Bowling Association (PBA) Tour, works at the Jayhawk Bowling Supply's Pro Shop Equipment & Instruction.
Page and Keslar have worked together on Page's mental game. Keslar has helped Page understand what a "quality player he truly is." He has aided Page in his ability to control his emotions and the environment.
"The difference in Rhino's game is he builds on it rather than being frustrated," Keslar said. "He's learned how to understand how to make changes on the lane or in the tournament."
After making the Junior Team USA two years in a row, Page qualified this year for the United States Olympic Bowling Team after a strong showing at the 2004 USAB Amateur Championships in Las Vegas.
"It's been quite an experience and an honor to represent our

Keslar said Team USA choosing Page was a no-brainer.
country," said Page.
"He would be one of the strongest players in the country. It's obviously so, that's why he made the team," said Keslar.
100
In comparison with last year's team, Page thinks this team is more unified.
He said he thought the cohesion of the team had helped it in trying times.
"Last year, we were like five individuals. This year, we're a team," said Page. "The times that we've really struggled we've come together and worked things out, as before it would have crumbled."
Men's bowling team leader Ryan Jacob Page, San Diego sophomore, said he planned on focusing on building a strong team mentality this year. He was part of a team that finished fourth in nationals last year and said he would look for more success in this weekend's intercollegiate Bowling Championships in Tulsa, Okla.
Kit Leffler/Kansar
Page has set his expectations high for this team. His goal for the team is a national championship, and he is going to do everything he can to assist them
in reaching it.
"I look for us to have a national championship this year," said Page. "I know I'm going to work my butt off to do
whatever I can, and I know that as a team we're going to really come together."

Volunteers ensure Kansas Relays fun for everyone watching
By Michael Phillips
mphillips@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
In just 24 hours, the eyes of the track world will focus on Lawrence, where Olympic hopefuls and high school prodigies will try to impress the national audience.
For the Kansas Relays volunteers, the work has already begun.
Daniels, assistant volunteer coordinator, also helps plan social events for the 5,000 athletes, their families and the Lawrence community.
Their goal is to ensure that one of the nation's largest track meets will be run smoothly from the moment the athletes arrive.
"We're really trying to turn this thing into a community event," he said.
He adds that the best way to accomplish that is through a broad range of events.
The first of those will run today and tomorrow in front of Stauffer Flint Lint. The "Kansas Relays Exchange Zone" will feature games and a prize drawing sponsored by Coca-Cola. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days.
Buffalo Wild Wings Grill and Bar, 1012 Massachusetts St., will host an event tomorrow night, with family events on the patio and the bar atmosphere inside.
The Kansas Union will hold a "Slab Party" outdoors on Friday
night. There will be an open mic featuring talent from the "Hawk Nights" talent shows and area schools.
The final event will be held at Abe and Jakes Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., after the relays end on Saturday night, and will feature jazz, hip hop and reggae music.
Daniels said, "It's not uncommon to see both past and present athletes at these events," because they continue coming to the Relays even after they no longer compete.
With so many events involving so many people, Daniels turns the logistics into one simple statement.
"We need people power," he said.
The Relays will use over 600
volunteers, many of them KU students such as freshman Briana Singleton.
She could be found folding T-shirts at Memorial Stadium on Tuesday, just one of her many duties for the week.
"Track and field has always been a vital part of my life," she said, "so I've seen firsthand what all it entails to run a track meet."
She heard about the opportunities from Daniels, who works in the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
Beyond these events, there will be plenty of opportunities to experience some history from the world of track and field.
The inaugural group will be inducted into the Kansas Relays Hall of Fame at a banquet on Saturday night.
Saturday afternoon, inductee Wes Santee will appear at Oread Books in the Kansas Union with author Neal Bascomb.
Bascomb's book The Perfect Mile is about the quest to run the first mile in under 4 minutes. Briton Roger Bannister accomplished this in 1954.
There will also be a historical exhibit at the "Exchange Zone" on campus.
Meet director Tim Weaver sees parallels between the social events and the different track and field events.
"What the social calendar does is mimic the diversity within track and field," he said.
Weaver added that he had seen
increased levels of involvement every year since 2000, when the Relays went on hiatus because of construction at Memorial Stadium.
"The passion that immediately was re-sparked, the people getting involved again, it has been phenomenal," he said.
The 54-student Kansas Relays Committee oversees the events all-year long and helps plan the events.
They help ensure that when the crowds come to Lawrence, everyone will have somewhere to go.
"We just really want to give everybody an opportunity to get involved," Damiels said.

Coach questioned on sex scandal
BROOMFIELD, Colo. Insisting the Colorado football program does not condone sexual misconduct, suspended coach Gary Barnett said yesterday there was "no question" there was misbehavior at a 2001 party at the center of a rape scandal — but everyone at the gathering shared the blame.
The Associated Press
Barnett, questioned for nearly five hours by a panel investigating recruiting practices at Colorado, said there were 10 people at the off-campus party, including four football athletes. All of them lost their scholarships afterward and were charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor for providing alcohol.

"There is no question in my mind that inappropriate behavior occurred," Barnett said. "There is no question that the behavior of the 10 young people involved was the result of their own poor deci-

afterward. They are suing in federal court, seeking unspecified damages for what they say was the school's failure to rein in athletes and provide equal protection to women.
At least eight women since 1997 have accused Colorado football athletes of rape though no charges have been filed. Separate probes are under way by the state attorney general and university.
Barnett's testimony was the most dramatic yet before the Board of Regents' panel investigating whether Colorado uses sex and alcohol to entice recruits.
The panel voted to ask for more time to complete its work, meaning a report wouldn't come out until the end of May.
Barnett, occasionally raising his voice, said he feels responsible for his players' performance on the field as well as their behavior in the community. But he said there is only so much he can do.
"I have 48 that I have held accountable over the last five years. I can't live their lives for them."he said.
Barnett was put on paid leave for comments he made about two of the alleged rape cases, including that of Katie Hnida, a former kicker who said she was raped by a teammate in 2000. He called her an "awful" player as he answered questions about why she left Colorado to later enroll at New Mexico
Barnett waded into the controversy again, telling the panel he spoke with Hnida's friends, former teammates and a rape counselor who spent time with the young
woman, and that none heard her talk about harassment or assault.
"I couldn't find anybody to substantiate one single claim and I was looking to substantiate it," Barnett said.
He repeated his belief that Hnida wasn't a good player, but said he wanted her on the team to give her a chance of fulfilling her dream of playing college football.
Barnett said he hoped her presence would help his players learn more about women, and prompt them to behave.
A few hours before Barnett spoke, the panel released a March 30 e-mail from Dr. David Hnida, the woman's father and an Army surgeon now in Iraq. Hnida said Barnett and other university officials must have known about sexual harassment problems his daughter was having at Colorado before she left.
He also said his daughter would be willing to speak to the panel.
NBA ruling keeps guard from record
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Bob Sura didn't make any pretense about it.
Urged on by his teammates in a blowout game, the Atlanta Hawks' journeyman guard intentionally missed a layup just before the buzzer so he could get the rebound and make his small mark in history.
Sura was trying to become the first NBA player in seven years with three straight triple-doubles.
The game was essentially over. What the heck?
The NBA didn't see it that way. Less than 24 hours after Sura's bit of self-gratification, the league ruled Tuesday that he wouldn't be rewarded for intentionally missing a shot.
The field goal attempt was taken away, which wiped out the rebound.
Sura was left with 22 points,11

so much for having three straight games with double figures in scoring, rebounding and assists — a feat last accomplished by Grant Hill in 1997.
After flying to Boston for Atlanta's regular-season finale last night, Sura issued a statement through a team spokesman.
"I'm disappointed that my
our sport and to take any attention away from our huge win over the Nets. If anyone was offended by my actions, I sincerely apologize."
Michael Sachs, a sports psychologist at Temple University, praised Sura for apologizing and the NBA for striking the shady accomplishment from the record books.
"It's a good sign that this it not something we just accept as a matter of course," Sachs said. "There's still sportsmanship
involved. There's still a sense of fair play and doing things the right way that people are concerned about."
But Bob Troutwine, a personnel and coaching consultant for several pro football teams, said it's not necessarily harmful when players focus on personal achievements.
In fact, he said it can be good for the psyche of the whole team — especially a team such as the Hawks, which will miss the playoffs for the fifth year in a row.

79-year-old bowls perfect game
Woman becomes the oldest female to ever bowl 300
The Associated Press
LEE'S SUMMIT, Mo. — Lynne Truby wasn't surprised to hear her 79-year-old mother had bowled a 300 game.
Judy Keltner, the manager of Summit Lanes in Lee's Summit, where Lois Morgan rolled the perfect game, also was among those who wasn't surprised Morgan achieved the feat at 79.
"She was already the oldest
woman to do it because she did it at 77," Keltner said.
Truby said, "It wouldn't surprise you either if you knew her."
After all, the perfect game was not her mother's first.
It wasn't even Morgan's first since birthday No. 70; she's had two other 300 games since that day.
Morgan, the oldest woman to attain perfection on a bowling alley, is not a lifelong bowler. The first time she bowled as an adult, Morgan was in the Army, stationed near El Paso, Texas.
Once Morgan got out of the service, she got married, had children and didn't think much about bowling — until her kids reached
school age. It was 1959 and she was asked to join a PTA league. Bowling a line cost 50 cents.
After Morgan began to bowl more, a family acquaintance who was an instructor helped Morgan perfect her game.
"I had been told for years about being in the 'zone.' It was like I was in a zone," she says. "I threw every ball in the pocket. It was just easy."
She was in a league with men when she rolled her first perfect game at age 71.
In 2003, she was named the senior woman bowler of the year by the Kansas City Bowling Association.
And she has been elected a
member of the Missouri bowling hall of fame.
But she's not always serious about bowling.
During a recent game, she scored a 298 while wearing house slippers and a nightshirt on Halloween.
And she said it won't be her last perfect game.
But Morgan got another chance at a 300 game April 6 during her Tuesday Twister League play.
"I was just horsing around," Morgan said. "I had a 6-10 split or something in the 10th frame."
"The record for a man bowling 300 is 88 years old," Morgan said. "I plan on doing it at 89."
Royals hit four home runs still defeated by White Sox
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Ozzie Guillen's homecoming was a winner yesterday, thanks to an offense the Chicago White Sox figure will make them a contender.
Paul Konerko hit a go-ahead three-run homer to help struggling Esteban Loaiza get his second win, and the White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 12-5 in Guillen's Chicago debut as manager.
Guillen got a rousing ovation before the game, taking his cap off at home plate and waving to the crowd.
The former shortstop spent 13 of his 16 major league seasons with the White Sox before he left after the 1997 season. Now he's back to run the team, promising to make it fun.
"Even when I was playing, I always wanted to manage," Guillen said before the game.
"Coming back to Chicago and knowing how the people feel about me and how I feel about the people makes it easier."
konerko, who got off to a dismal start a year ago in a disappointing season, connected in the fifth off Darrell May (0-2) following walks to Frank Thomas and Carlos Lee to make it 7-4.
The Royals, meanwhile, hit four homers of Loaiza on a blus-
tery day with the wind blowing out at 22 mph and a game-time temperature of 43.
It was the first game at U.S. Cellular Field since a $28 million renovation project in which eight rows were lopped off the top of the steeply inclined upper deck that is now covered by a new roof.
"It makes it look a little more like the old park, a little classier. But nothing else has changed," fan Larry Ortman said as he bundled up against the cold from the upper reaches of the stadium.
Loaiza (2-0), who won 21 games a year ago and was the Cy Young Award runnerup, was staked to a 3-0 lead in the second when Lee doubled, Konerko singled, Joe Crede hit a run-scoring single and Miguel Olivo a two-run double off May.
But Angel Berroa broke out of an 0-for-12 slump with a solo homer and after Carlos Beltran doubled, Mike Sweeney also homered to tie it at 3-3 in the third.
Aaron Guiel hit his third homer of the season for Kansas City to make it 4-3 in the fourth before Juan Uribe got his first hit with the White Sox, a solo homer to center leading off the bottom of the fifth.
After Konerko's homer gave the White Sox the lead, Jose Valentin delivered a two-run
Loaiza allowed seven hits, two walks and five earned runs in six inning. Notes:
Tony Graffanino homered to finish Loaiza in the seventh.
Throwing out the first pitches were Guillen, Chico Carrasquel and Luis Aparicio, all former All-Star shortstops who hail from Venezuela and played for the White Sox. Magglio Ordonez, also from Venezuela, caught one of the pitches and Carlton Fisk, who got one of the loudest ovations of the day, caught one of the others.
Sweeney now has 21 career homers against the White Sox.
- Loaiza allowed just 17 homers all of last season in 226 innings. He's already given five in his first two starts covering 12 innings.
Royals starters still have not won a game this season.
Manager Tony Pena said Kevin Appier could be close to rejoining the team after a strong rehab outing at Wichita. Appier is on the disabled list with a right elbow tendon injury.
Announced attendance Monday was 37,706 and because of comp tickets was deemed a sellout in the park that now has a capacity of 40,615.
Longhorn basketball gets star
The Associated Press
SEAGOVILLE, Texas — With the addition of 7-foot, 230-pound LaMarcus Aldridge, perhaps the state's best prep player, the Texas Longhorns' incoming recruiting class is drawing comparisons to Michigan's fabled Fab Five.
Aldridge committed to Texas months ago but also was considering turning pro. He recently decided to go to college first and will make it official today, the first day of the spring signing period.
The Seagoville star will be the third prep All-American heading to Austin, joining fall signees guard Daniel Gibson of Houston Jones and power forward Mike Williams from Wilcox-Central in Camden, Ala. Clear Lake center Connor Atchley and Dion Dowell, a small forward from Texas City, round out the class.
"LaMarcus going makes it awesome," Mike Kunstad, publisher of Texas Hoops Magazine, said of the UT recruiting class. "This could be the 2004 version of the Fab Five. With those five youngsters you have it all - inside, outside, wing men; just everything."
Recruiting Web site TheInsidersHoops.com lists all five as top 100 recruits nationally.

Donald Trump arrived at the Gotham Magazine anniversary party at Gotham Hall in New York City on Feb. 5, 2004.
Trump called frontman
Some mock 'Apprentice' host for producing pomp over business
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — At the end of the live, two-hour finale of The Apprentice, who will have made the most of his huge, pitfalls-plagued assignment? Who will hear Trump's dread words, "You're fired"? And who will get the grand prize: the $250,000 "dream job of a lifetime" running something or other for Trump for a year?
The Apprentice comes at a curious time. The image of business has been tarred, and thousands of Americans hurt, by scandals at such corporations as Enron and Tyco, where greed and excess reigned. Prosecutions are ongoing. Victims' wounds are fresh.
But The Apprentice, while promoting greed and excess, isn't really about business. It's just set there. It's a boardroom game show crossed with Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, with Trump the embodiment of "champagne wishes and caviar dreams" for viewers and contestants alike.
On The Apprentice Trump introduces his Trump Tower apartment as "the nicest in New York City" in "one of the great buildings of the world." And Trump Tower is only a tiny piece of the $6 billion-plus fortune Trump boasts of (though Forbes magazine puts it at $2.5 billion), just one of the many holdings he says make him New York City's biggest real estate developer (a claim others dispute).
Trump's casinos are struggling, which led one financial analyst to
tell CBS that if Trump were a contestant on his show, he would have to fire himself.
Indeed, some observers have long described Trump "more as a front man who, for a cut of the action, lends his name to projects backed and managed by others," to quote a recent Time magazine article.
ization. But there's no disputing that he stays busy hawking his brand.
Trump disputes that character-
"This is called luxury, this is Trump luxury," says Trump, giving his contenders a peek at a penthouse apartment atop another of his Trump-tagged properties. "One of the most luxurious buildings in the world ... You see why Trump is Trump."

By promoting Sproles for Heisman, Snyder bucks his past approach
MANHATTAN — E-mails and postcards may not sound like much to anybody, except a Heisman Trophy contender at Kansas State.
These will be going out of Manhattan this fall on behalf of Darren Sproles, Kansas State's record-breaking running back.
It's a radical departure of policy for coach Bill Snyder. When quarterback Michael Bishop was drawing national attention in 1999, Snyder infuriated critics by often keeping him at arms length from the media. There were some games Bishop didn't appear before reporters at all. He finished a distant second in the Heisman voting.
Sproles has posted more than 100 yards of all-purpose yardage in 25 of his last 28 games, including a school-record 345-yard performance against Oklahoma in the Big 12 Conference title game that gave Kansas State its first Big 12 Championship. Two of the three best all-purpose games in school history belong to the soft-spoken Olathe native.
Despite opening up, Snyder is certain, not to stray too far from his traditional approach of emphasizing the team and not the
"I think he's very capable of handling the publicity extremely well." Snvder said.
individual.
An even bigger adjustment for Sproles and his team will be dealing with the departure of quarterback Ell Roberson. A threat to both run and pass, Roberson gave the defense something to worry about other than Sproles.
But Snyder makes clear that Sproles won't bear too much of a load on his sturdy 5-foot-7, 180-pound frame.
Nevertheless, it will be tempting to overuse Sproles' various talents, which include catching passes and returning kicks.
"He does a lot of things," Snyder said. "It's not like he's just been back there and we hand the ball off."
"He would have it all if you let him," Snyder said. "But we're not going to scrimmage him as hard as we might somebody else. So he might get 60 percent of what the normal workload of a No. 1 would be."
Having a Heisman contender excites his teammates.
In the meantime, Sproles is being held out of a great deal of contact work during the spring. He has never been injury prone, but why take a chance?
"We're all pulling for Darren to get all the attention he deserves," center Mike Johnson said. "And besides, we know if we can just hold the block for a little bit, he can go all the way."
FUNDING: Revenue-sharing helps smaller schools
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Marchiony said that the gap wasn't hurting the NCAA or creating unfair competitive advantages for some teams. He pointed to this year's NCAA Division One men's basketball tournament as an example.
The tournament's Sweet 16 included several small-conference schools, including the University of Alabama-Birmingham, the University of Nevada, Saint Joseph's University and Xavier. Marchiony said statistics like these indicated that the smaller schools could still compete with the larger ones.
Marchiony also said a system of revenue sharing was in place to help out the schools and conferences with smaller budgets. For instance, he said, the revenue earned from the men's basketball tournament goes to pay for every other sports championship in the NCAA.
Others say there needs to be more revenue sharing.
She said she understood the bigger conferences being reluctant to part with what it already had, but she believed everyone would realize it was for the greater good to share more of the wealth.
Dan Fulks, who contributed to the report, wasn't so confident that the imbalance would right itself.
Jennifer Henderson, associate commissioner for the Sun Belt Conference, said the BCS conferences should share more of the revenue it got from the BCS bowls.
Fulks said he wouldn't be surprised if the NCAA Division One split up sometime in the future with the richer conferences and the poorer conferences parting ways.
He said the resources were out there for schools who wanted to build its programs up to the highest levels.
Henderson said the disparity in conference budgets did hurt competitive equality because the schools with more money could build better facilities and attract the better recruits.
"I think what has to happen is schools have to decide who they want to compete with and not try to be more than they are." Fulks said.
The schools just needed to find the community support to accomplish it.
"It's a possibility." Henderson said. "But I think reasonable minds will prevail."
Henderson said she realized there had been talk of the NCAA Division One splitting up, but she didn't think it would really happen.

The Red Storm fired Mike Jarvis on Dec. 19, and the team limped to a 6-21 record, including a 1-15 mark in conference.
The Red Storm finished deadlast in the 14-team Big East conference.
Losses on the court were underscored by problems off the court.
One player was kicked out of school, one withdrew from classes and four others were suspended from the team after breaking curfew to go to a strip club after a loss to Pittsburgh in January.
The players met a woman at the club who told police they raped her.
No charges were filed against the players and the woman later said she made the story up because the players refused to pay her $1,000 for sex, according to court documents.
In addition to the incident after the loss to Pittsburgh, senior captain Andre Stanley was suspended because of academic troubles and senior guard Willie Shaw was dismissed from the team after he was arrested for possession of marijuana with former St. John's star Marcus Hatten.
The biggest sign of a downfall came as St. John's standing as New York City's basketball king began to deteriorate.
That distinction was taken away by the Manhattan Jaspers, which went 25-6, made its second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and even pulled off an upset of No. 4-seeded Florida in the first round.

Business faculty, students disagree over 'Apprentice'

"You're fired!" has become a familiar phrase throughout America each week as Donald Trump has ordered a competitor to leave the NBC reality show, The Apprentice.
Tonight is the two-hour finale of the show, and the 16 original candidates are now down to two: Bill and Kwame. Faculty and students in the business school at the University of Kansas have their opinions about the show and its ways of incorporating business tactics into the different tasks each week.
Candidates on the show have been competing with other business people to earn a job at The Trump Organization and a $250,000 salary. Competitors teamed into two groups and worked on tasks using business strategies such as management, finance, promotions and sales to win Trump's approval.
Students in Lisa Bergeron's finance class occasionally talk about the show. The business lecturer said that a couple of weeks ago she had her students vote on who would be offered the job in the end. Students who voted correctly will get five extra credit points, she said.
Bergeron said that her class has a set curriculum, but it would be interesting to see a

Delta Force and KUnited candidates and supporters were out in full force yesterday encouraging students to vote in the Student Senate elections.
With the polls remaining open until 4 p.m. today, students should expect more of the same until then. Students can vote from any on-campus computer lab or at polling sites in front of Wescoe Hall, at Mrs. E's, GSP-Corbin Hall and the Student Recreation Fitness Center.
The campaigners were restricted from approaching students within 100 feet of the polling sites. But many of them concentrated their efforts near those areas, leaving some students annoyed.
Both coalitions had at least 50 people each actively campaigning for them yesterday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., while the physical polling sites were open.
"I understand they're trying to promote themselves, but they could relax a little with people who have to get someplace," Katie Zumbehl, Westwood freshman, said.
Zumbehl and her friend Christine Maxwell, Prairie Village freshman, live in GSP-Corbin. They said were approached outside the hall multiple times by KUUnited supporters yesterday.

Negative flier vexes Delta Force candidates

Delta Force members are angry about a flier accusing the coalition of being anti-greek.
The flier, which emerged yesterday, encourages greeks to vote against Delta Force, which it said was created "to disrupt the amount of power and representation that Greeks have on campus."
The flier highlights an editorial written by Delta Force co-founder Matt Caldwell in 1999, calling it, "The Last Straw." The editorial, entitled "Why Fraternities Should Be Abolished," was published in the Kaw Valley Independent newspaper, according to the flier.
The flier goes on to state that Delta Force has never represented greeks and never will.

Kansas troops put on alert possible deployment to Iraq
Annie Bernethy/Kansan
TOPEKA - Approximately 1,100 Kansas Army National Guard soldiers from five units were alerted yesterday that they may be mobilized for duty in Iraq.
The units have primarily support and transportation duties and represent the largest single alert of Kansas National Guard soldiers since the start of the Iraq war last year. Alert status puts the units on notice that mobilization orders could be forthcoming later this year as part of a third rotation of soldiers into Iraq.
Nine Kansans — none from the Kansas National Guard — have died in Iraq since the start of the war.

Shootings put public at risk; police point to gang violence
TOPEKA — Police blame gang violence for five recent shootings over a four-day period, including one during the weekend that killed an 18-year-old man.
"These kinds of acts, regardless of the intended targets, have a high risk to the community," Police Chief Ed Klumpp said Tuesday at a news conference with Mayor James McClinton.
Gang affiliations of two groups appear to have been involved in the five recent shootings, including one Tuesday afternoon in which gunmen fired at a passing car at a busy intersection, S.W. 29th and Gage. No one was hurt, but three vehicles were damaged.

Psychology student helps friends with relationships
By Samia Khan skhan@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Every face in the crowd and every name in the phone book has a story behind it. Every week, Kansan staff writer Samia Khan tells the story of a randomly selected KU student.
Sex and relationships have been on Jessi Crowder's mind for as long as she can remember. She remembers having her first crush in kindergarten. It was at that age when she called boys at all hours of the day, asking them to come out and play just so she could spend some time with them and maybe sneak a kiss.
The Overland Park freshman is studying psychology at the University of Kansas with the intention of becoming a sex and relationships therapist. Crowder has been giving relationship advice to friends and acquaintances for years. She said she has always interested in and open about sexuality, partly because of her own curiosity and partly because of her upbringing.
Crowder's roommate, Andrea Bridges, said that up to five peo-
"I've always been obsessed with seeing how boys and girls interacted," she said.
pie come into their dorm room every week to ask Crowder for relationship advice. Bridges, Lenexa freshman, said Crowder is a good listener and always tries to understand the relationship. Faces in the Crowd
In her close group of high school friends, Crowder known as sexually knowledgeable and as a good therapist.
HOW CAN I GET THROUGH TO YOU?
FURRANCE REAL
After continually advising her friends how to be open and honest in their relationships, she realized that giving such advice was what she wanted to do with her life. She said she still believes that almost every relationship can be worked out.

"I was so embarrassed," Bridges said. "She would go up to the clerks and say 'Do you have Playgirl? We need Playgirl.'"
Although her sexual nature was known to her friends, she said the rest of her peers thought she was a good girl who always got straight As.
Annie Barnethv/Kansan
Jessi Crowder, Overland Park freshman, wants to be a sex therapist. Crowder said she was obsessed with understanding relationships, especially the sexual aspect.
Bridges, who went to the same high school as Crowder, didn't get to know Crowder until the end of their senior year. She said until that point she always thought Crowder was the average smart and friendly high school student. It wasn't until the first time the two really hung out that Bridges knew how open Crowder was. Crowder was 17 and Bridges was 18. That night Crowder asked
The good girl is an image that Crowder still wants, and she doesn't think it's contradictory to her sexual curiosity. She said she limits sex to monogamous relationships.
Crowder said her sexuality could be attributed to a healthy and open upbringing. Crowder is used to using words such as "clitoris" and "penis" with her parents, a habit that often catches her friends off guard.
Her father, Ed Crowder, said that once Jessi and her siblings were old enough, he and his wife were not afraid to talk honestly about sex.
"We wanted them to understand everything, so we talked to them like they were people," her father said.
He said he and his wife set goals and limitations, but wanted their children to be free spirits. Both of Crowder's parents support her mission to be a sex therapist. It is that combination of structure and freedom to which Crowder credits her success in life, school and her enjoyment of sex.
Although Crowder has no dif
ficulty being in tune with other people's relationships, she said she sometimes has trouble with her own. She has trouble breaking up with boyfriends and tends to force them to break up with her by behaving erratically.
Sex is an important foundation for every relationship, she said.
Crowder worries about couples who save sex for marriage, but understands their decision.
The promiscuous college attitude toward sex especially concerns Crowder. She said she worries about the number of one-night stands and STDs at the University as much as she worries
about abstinence.
Both abstinent and promiscuous relationships have the potential for problems, Crowder said.
"I see it and think, maybe I'll see you all down the road in my office someday," she said.

Modern 'Darwin' to give lecture tonight at Lied Center

gists and philosophers.
Edward O. Wilson, renowned environmentalist and biologist, will speak tonight at the Lied Center. Wilson's speech, "The Future of Life," takes its name from his most recent book, which describes the Earth's deteriorating environmental situation and what can be done about it.
Leonard Kristalka, director of the University of Kansas Natural History Museum, said that it was important for students to hear Wilson because he is one of the country's most eminent biolo-
"Some have called him this generation's Darwin," Krishtalka said.
Chris Michener, professor emeritus of entomology, said Wilson was "a talented writer and excellent speaker," and that Wilson was responsible for major contributions to thought and theory in evolutionary science.
Wilson
Krishtalka echoed similar sentiments about Wilson's contributions to his field.
"I think his writings and lectures are extremely powerful and provocative, and if anyone can turn people on to the importance of protecting the environment, Wilson can do that," he said.
Two of Wilson's books, Sociobiology and On Human Nature, published in the '70s, formed the basis for two new branches of science, sociobiology and evolutionary psychology, Krishtalka said.
When it first came out, Sociobiology inspired controversy in the scientific community for its central idea, that biology influences culture and behavior.
What fueled the controversy was a distorted exaggeration of Wilson's theory, Kristalalka said, which sprang from the political motives of Wilson's Marxist colleagues. Other scientists such as late fellow Harvard professor Stephen Jay Gould claimed that Wilson's theory said biology was responsible for all of human behavior.
Such an outlook leads to eugenics and Nazism, they said. In 1978, at the height of the controversy, an angry colleague dumped a pitcher of ice water over Wilson's head at an academic conference. Since then, Wilson's ideas have been vindicated through research.
Wilson's appearance is part of the Hall Center for Humanities 2003-
Wilson won two Pulitzer prizes; one for On Human Nature in 1978, and another, shared with co-author Bert Holldobler, for The Ants, in 1991.
Victor Bailey, director of the Hall Center for the Humanities, said one of Wilson's lasting intellectual contributions was his 1998 book Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge. In it, Wilson argued that humanities and science should not be thought of as two wholly different domains, because they share the same fundamental concern—the human condition.

Applaud spring sports success
One season after highlyrespected men's basketball coaching legend Roy Williams departed for Tobacco Road, Bill Self took a group of over-achievers to the Elite Eight.
For KU athletics, this is turning out to be a year to remember.
The women's soccer team, led by All-American Caroline Smith, won its first ever NCAA Tournament match and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen.
The women's volleyball team was invited to the NCAA Tournament for the first time and reached the second round with a victory over five-time NCAA champion Long Beach State.
Spring sports are also enjoying success. After having its third most successful season with 35 victories last year, the baseball team already has 24 victories, including defeats of two top-15 teams, Wichita State and Texas A&M.
Coach Tracy Bunge's softball team has already surpassed last season's victory total with 24, playing in the new Arrocha Ballpark.
And who could forget the football team creating a buzz at a school that is traditionally known for its basketball? From 2-10 to the Tangerine Bowl was a

great accomplishment for Mark Mangino and his boys.
On the individual athletic scene, senior Leo Bookman won the Indoor Track 200-meter National Championship. Bookman is preparing for a possible spot in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.
With other sports such as women's basketball defeating Missouri, Kansas now leads the Border War 16.5-8, according to www.kuathletics.com. Missouri won the Border War last year.
If the success carries over to next year it could invoke memories of the '92-'93 season when the football team won the Aloha Bowl, the baseball team made it to the College World Series and the basketball team made it to the Final Four.
For now Kansas fans should enjoy the successful season in a year when much wasn't expected.

The student t body president and Student Senate will be responsible for appointing student representatives on University advisory boards or committees, including Judicial Board, Legal Services for Students Advisory Board and a tuition oversight committee. In reality, the administrators run the show. The University is a bureaucracy. However, students influence the administration and work to compromise to promote change. The accomplishments so far are commendable. The future is up to you. Vote at a polling site or on a University computer.
Today is the last day of Student Senate elections. Student Senate is not the same as a high school student council. Whether you prefer Delta Force or KUnited, real issues are on the table.

Television not the cause of all evil
COMMENTARY
A plague has apparently descended upon America's families, and television is the proverbial swarm of locusts. At least, that's what the TV Turnoff Network is proclaiming.
Penny
April 19 to 25 marks the organization's annual TV Turnoff Week, a respectable effort initiated in 1994 to curb Americans' habit of watching the so-called "boob tube."
Portraying TV as an ogre is a rash move, however. Yes, the bug-eaters and wardrobe malfunctions have given a boost to the organization's campaign, but overlooking the positives of broadcasting is a mistake.
Amy Kelly opinion@hansan.com
A 2003 report by the journal Science claimed a link existed between TV viewing and violence. The study cited more than 1,000 cases during the past 30 years supporting the theory.
Television likely does influence some individuals to commit harmful acts, but let's not forget how much it has given to
But the evidence does not mirror other statistics. Given that 98 percent of American households own at least one television set, violent crime statistics should be skyrocketing out of control. They're not.
Instead, preliminary crime statistics for 2003 released by the U.S. Department of Justice showed an overall 3.1 percent decrease in violent crime.
Many TV moments have been invaluable to America. Programming continues to spark conversation, educate and entertain.

gauntlet simply by going from station to station these days. Yet, it's the responsibility of parents to explain what is right and wrong about a gory Anime episode or heated love scene on Young & The Restless.
Viewing is not harmful if a child is raised with communicative parents. If TV Turnoff Week gives the much-needed wakeup call to parents, then more power to it.
Karen Lewis, program director of the TV Turnoff Network, said she had witnessed plenty of success stories in the program's 10-year history. Lewis said a Virginia boy faced the possibility of repeating kindergarten until his parents turned off the TV.
"This sequence of events set him up for classroom success," Lewis said. "The teacher was puzzled by the change in his ability to sit down, finish his work and play nicely with his friends."
The program can be a useful tool for children like the one in Virginia, but television should not be portrayed as causing the decline of Western civilization. Unobservant parents turning a cold shoulder to their children's development are the real tragedy.

Arrogance and ignorance play part in Iraqi conflict
COMMENTARY
The leaders of the Western world — the U.S. government included — and radical Islamic fundamentalists are equally ignorant and arrogant. The West wants to spread democracy and Western ideals at any cost, and the radical Islamic fundamentalists want to spread Islam.
So what happens when you pit these two stubborn factions against each other, with each willing to fight for their respective causes? You get the Iraqi War, Sept. 11, suicide bombers, radical Islamic groups such as Al-Qaeda and a breeding ground for the likes of Osama Bin Laden to preach and promote hatred.
Brandon Cobb opinion@kansan.com
One of the most commonly used terms in the media when referring to Islam and terrorism is jihad, or to struggle. In its most extreme form, jihad is viewed as a war against infidels. In its most sincere and regularly used form jihad is interpreted as striving for a better life.
Some fundamentalists have declared lihad against the West.
In Bernard Lewis's book The Crisis of Islam, Lewis explains some of the traditions and rules of warfare when conducting jihad. Lewis writes, "Fighters in a jihad are enjoined not to kill women,
children and the aged unless they attack first, not to torture or mutilate prisoners, to give fair warning of the resumption of hostilities after a truce and to honor agreements."
The aforementioned statement helps reinforce the fact that Islam does not condone terrorism.
At times, the media portrays Islam and terrorism in the same light.
True, radical Islamists use the Islamic faith as a foundation to declare jihad and other rhetoric against their enemies. But this is a false representation of the religion. One of the problems is that every time the media focus on someone from an Islamic terrorist organization or an Islamic conspirator wanting to commit
terrorism, it helps fuel the belief that the West is at war with Islam.
The West definitely does its part in providing ammunition for radicals to make a strong case that the West is at war against Islam, but the radicals in the Muslim world also do their part to create a problem between Western ideologies and Islam.
Radical Islamists view westerners as infidels and the West views radical Islamists as people who pose a threat to world peace and in some cases want life to revert back to the ways of 7th century. So which side is right? It depends on what side of the spectrum one tends to agree with.
No matter how barbaric the West thinks Islamic radicals are, Islamists have every right not to want the West to tell them how to live. But any person that does not want to live under the teachings of radical Islamists should not have to do so either.
Both sides should agree to disagree because innocent citizens are suffering and have to live through constant fighting and terrorist attacks.

Students star in local commercials

No matter what television stations students watch, it is probable that they have seen the Adventures of Broadband Man, sang along with the Jayhawk Bookstore jingle, or followed the red arrow around Hy-Vee Food Stores. These local commercials cost less to produce than other commercials and can benefit business owners and students who star in them.
A local commercial can cost anywhere from $50 to $1000, but they usually cost about $250 said Bill Muggy, owner of Jayhawk Bookstore. He said he liked to use regular, everyday people in his commercials to give them an appealing quality.
He said he had used Sunflower Broadband Channel 6, 645 New Hampshire, which produces local commercials, to produce some of the bookstore's television spots.
The process of making a commercial takes about two weeks, which includes coming up with the concept, setting it up, filming and editing it, he said.
For students who appear in local commercials, their few seconds on screen often gets them star-like recognition.
"It was cool at first, but after a while it gets old," said Aaron Cedeno, a Pittsburg senior who appeared in a commercial for Superior Chevrolet in Merriam.
Cedeno, who is an employee of Jayhawk Bookstore,1420 Crescent Rd., said customers often did a double take when they saw him and asked if he was the guy from the commercial.
Cedeno got the job from being in the right place at the right time.
The Superior Chevrolet camera team was looking for people to do the commercial and they happened to come in to the bookstore.
For his part, Cedeno sang along with a pre-recorded jingle and read the directions to the store. He said his singing was edited out of the final cut, but his lines were left in.
Often times employees or customers who happen to walk in during the shoots end up being the stars, told Toni Retonde, Jayhawk Bookstore store manager.
She said the customers don't get paid and the store generally asks them if they don't mind being filmed.
James Spence, shipping and
receiving manager for University Book Shop, 1116 W.23rd St., said his store did it the same way.
He said he preferred to use whoever happens to be around for the commercials because it is cost effective and they are usually only needed for the background.
Jim Lewis has a different approach to his commercials. Lewis, owner of Checkers Foods, 2300 Louisiana St., said he used a judge character to create consistency throughout his commercials.
"You have to have some sort of theme or identity," he said.
Whenever someone sees the judge, they will think of Checkers, he said.
April Giarla's trip to get custard landed her a role in a local commercial.
Giarla, Overland Park junior,
said The Custard Cup, 4000 W.
6th St. Suite E, asked her and her
boyfriend if it could film them eating
custard for a commercial
when the two came in to the store.
She said she was hesitant about letting the crew film her eating.
"It felt like a long time because I felt really awkward doing it," she said of the 10-minute shoot.
Giarla, an employee of The University Daily Kansan advertising staff, said she only got recognized a couple of times because not that many people saw the commercial, but her friends thought it was funny.
"It was something that doesn't happen to everyone so I thought that was really cool," she said.

A bill to promote the bioscience industry should create about 23,000 jobs in the state and will encourage growth in bioscience-related businesses, a Kansas House Representative said yesterday.
Rep. Kenny Wilk (R-Lansing) spoke to KU students at the Dole Institute of Politics last night about the Kansas Economic Growth Act, which will become law on Monday.
- Edited by Paul Kramer
Wilk, who co-authored the bill with Sen. Nick Jordan (R Shawnee), said the bill would add an entirely new industry to the Kansas economy.
The bill will allocate $500 million to creating the bioscience industry across the state. The bill is designed to add tax credits to businesses related to the bioscience field.
"It's an unprecedented amount of money in biosciences," Wilk said. "It's about creating high quality jobs for people in Kansas."
The act would have considerable possibilities for the University, because part of the act would allocate money for research in biosciences.
Jeff Morrow, graduate senator, said the act would add another mainstay to the Kansas economy. Morrow called biosciences the "fourth leg" to state economics, the other three being oil, agriculture and aviation. Morrow also said biosciences would be a more stable cornerstone to the economy, since oil is in decline, the future of agriculture is questionable and aviation is subject to great variation.
"It's an unprecedented amount of money in biosciences. It's about creating high quality jobs for people in Kansas."
Kansas House Representative
"This act represents tremendous entrepreneurship on behalf of the Legislature," Morrow said. "It serves as a great economic stimulus package."
Examples of bioscience related fields include agricultural research to develop polymerized soybeans that will allow agriculture to diversify, as well as drug pharmaceutical companies that could develop drugs with higher efficiency. Morrow said.
Wilk said the development of biosciences was the next major developing component to the national economy. He predicted that over the next 10 years, biosciences would account for 15 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP). And the act could help the University directly. Wilk said it would allow KU graduates in bioscience-related fields to improve research at the University.
"Every grad can use their skills right here in Kansas," Wilk said.
Morrow said with greater opportunities for graduate students to further their studies locally,graduate school rankings for KU could increase.

Study shows increasing obesity among KU students
By Becca Evanhoe
bevanhoe@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A University of Kansas study is showing that obesity in KU students is occurring more frequently. Those students may be at risk for type 2 diabetes, the most common form. The final goal of the study is to find out if type 2 diabetes is on the rise, too.
"We've seen the numbers of young people with type 2 diabetes go up, which is scary," said Angela Kempf, a graduate student who works on the study, which is done through Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Funded by the American Heart Association, the Monitoring University Students Tackling Diabetes and Obesity.
or MUST-DO, study is looking at the diet and exercise patterns that lead to obesity in college students.
Because obesity is linked to type 2 diabetes, where the body's insulin doesn't effectively break down sugar, MUST-DO also looks at the factors that might cause type 2 diabetes.
Preliminary results show that 20 percent of the participants tested so far are obese, based on Body Mass Index, or BMI, which indicates weight status in adults by measuring weight for height.
"The exact causes of obesity are unknown, but studies suggest that lifestyle factors such as diet and physical activity patterns may play an important role," said Terry Huang, principal investigator for the study.
"We are in the process of understanding the mechanisms underlying these links."
According to the Center for Disease Control, or CDC, up to 80 percent of youth diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are overweight.
The CDC Web site also states that "as the U.S. population becomes increasingly overweight, researchers expect type 2 diabetes to appear more frequently in younger, pre-pubescent children."
Myra Strother, associate director of Watkins and practicing physician, expressed her concern for college students following the national obesity trend.
"Definitely, we've seen a trend of more students struggling with being overweight and obesity, as is the rest of the United States,"
"I think its one of the most serious health risks that Americans have, and its progressing at very rapid pace, more like an epidemic than a health issue."
she said.
The study's participants are volunteer KU students ages 18 through 24. The volunteers spend three hours with Kempf, getting measured for BMI and filling out a series of five surveys that cover topics such as birth weight, physical activity, diet history and the frequency of eating certain foods. The longest survey is the Diet History Questionnaire — 36 pages.
Students in the study also have their blood taken twice to test their body's ability to process glucose and other factors such as cholesterol levels. The first blood test, done after the student fasts for at least eight
hours, measures fasting glucose. Fasting glucose is the base level of glucose your body maintains after you haven't eaten for a while.
The student then drinks an orange-flavored, carbonated glucose drink. A second blood test is then taken two hours later to measure glucose tolerance, which is how well your body can processes glucose.
Impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance, also known as glucose intolerance, are a sign of pre-diabetes, according to the CDC.
One risk factor of type 2 diabetes stems from obesity, which leads to overuse of the pancreas, the organ that produces the body's insulin to break down sugar. In an obese person, the body's fat tissue doesn't respond as well to insulin, called insulin
resistance.
"Basically, the pancreas is tired out," said Strother.
The study has tested 120 students so far and is about halfway to its goal of testing 300 students by June 2005.
Strother said the rising trend of obesity in college students spurred Watkins to an increased wellness initiative for the KU campus. Watkins is starting a walking program and serving lower-fat, healthier foods in residence halls and vending machines - anything to get people moving and walking, she said.
"All these diets may help with initial weight loss, but what you've got to go to is a healthier diet and exercise," she said.

Natalie Patrick, Lenexa senior, took a trip to El Salvador over spring break to observe the country's elections and judge how fair they were. She and other members of her group presented their findings to Rep. Dennis Moore on April 8.
Student focused on helping globally

Kansan staff writer
Natalie Patrick enjoyed a tropical climate for her spring break, but she didn't relax on beaches in South Padre or work on her tan in Cancun.
Instead, the Lenexa senior spent her spring break in El Salvador observing the country's elections.
She worked with an international observation committee of more than 1,000 people and traveled with a delegation of 110 people.
The trip was organized through a solidarity organization called SHARE. The information Patrick and the other delegates gathered was used to make recommendations to El Salvadorian officials.
Last week Patrick presented her experience to Congressman Dennis Moore.
But Moore was interested in the coercive role U.S. politicians took in the elections, she said.
Patrick said the situation now was better than it had been in past elections, but far from fair.
She and four other solidarity workers had 30 minutes with the congressman, which was not enough time to get much feedback, she said.
Since El Salvador's civil war ended in 1992, the country has struggled to establish free and fair elections.
Death squad agents and men with rifles weren't standing at the booths like they used to, but the election process was tainted by chaos, misinformation and fear tactics.
She said corporations threatened to move jobs if the opposition won and U.S. politicians made threats of deportations and sanctions that they had no power to enforce.
The situation is better than the mass murders that took place 12 years ago, she said, but the process is far from democratic and the government continues to neglect the people.
"The government is not shooting their people any more, but
they're still letting them starve to death," she said.
Patrick said she was struck by the hope and concern the El Salvadorian people had for their nation's politics. She said even young children knew about the elections and the ruling party.
"It's hard to understand, but they've never been willing to give up." she said.
Erik Schnabel is a development director with SHARE's San Francisco office and helped coordinate a group in Patrick's delegation.
He said the delegation was diverse in terms of ages and backgrounds, but they all shared the goal of a free and fair elections process.
Patrick took her commitment to the delegation and the issues of El Salvador seriously, he said.
Patrick has been involved in international politics since her freshman year of high school, when she attended a magnet school geared toward international studies.
Since then she has been involved in an international relations council in the Kansas City area.
She studied in Mexico last summer and is involved with the Model United Nations Club at Johnson County Community College.
"International politics has always been my gig," she said.
Some of Patrick's most direct experiences with international communities have been while hosting exchange students.
In high school, her family hosted two Japanese students, two Chinese students and one friend from El Salvador.
At her college residence, Patrick has hosted two Germans and two Japanese students.
Patrick had been to El Salvador once before her spring break trip.
In the summer of 2000, she traveled with a women's delegation to El Salvador to gather information on the condition of women after the civil war.
Patrick's sister went on both trips to El Salvador.
Patrick and her sister were the only people to travel from the Midwest.
Julia Patrick, Lenexa junior, said the spring break trip helped her sister look beyond school and consider getting involved with more international work instead of going straight to graduate school.
Patrick said the trip had empowered her to refocus her priorities. She no longer wants to study abroad in Spain.
"That's where you go for backpacking," she said. "I need to find a place that is more important for me and where I will learn the most."
Sheena Shippee, Patrick's longtime friend, said she has seen Patrick's interest in learning
about Latin American politics deepen, especially after the trips to El Salvador.

Natalie Patrick said she wanted to learn more by spending more time in El Salvador and wished the El Salvadorian people could one day decide their own politics.

Research center moving to Missouri
By Bill Cross
bcross@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A medical facility that contributes to antibiotics, birth control and herbal medicine is leaving the University of Kansas Medical Center this summer.
The Fungal Genetics Stock Center, which grows and distributes over 10,000 different strains of fungus for medical, industrial and genetic research, is relocating to the University of Missouri at Kansas City on July 1. The center has been at the KU Medical Center since 1985.
John Kinsey, director of the stock center, said KU Medical Center will not suffer as a result of the center's move, because fungal research is not a priority for the medical center.
Kinsey said he had been the only researcher using filamentous fungi at the medical center. He did not renew his research grant because he intended to retire after transfer of the stock center.
Edited by Abby Mills
Kevin McCluskey, curator of the stock center, said the medical center may notice a slight decrease in publicity and funding after the move. He said the stock center had garnered international recognition for medical center. The stock center supplies fungus samples for research to 57 countries.
Tom Volk, biology professor at the University of Wisconsin at La Crosse, said popular antibiotics, such as penicillin, are derived from fungus spores. Many researchers who receive supplies from the stock center are seeking to create new antibiotics to combat evolved viruses that are resistant to old antibiotics such as penicillin, McCluskey said.
Volk, who maintains an extensive fungus Web site, tomvolkfungi.net, said fungi also produce the steroids used in many birth control pills. He said the fungus aspergillus terreus produced the key ingredient in Mevacor, an important cholesterol-fighting drug.
Herbal remedies popular in the Far East are also fueled by fungus, Volk said.
But fungi can be dangerous. Kinsey said fungal infections are more difficult to treat than bacterial infections. Because fungi, like humans, are comprised of cells, it is difficult to create drugs that kill fungal cells and leave human body cells alone. Kinsey said most fungus samples were used to find cures for fungal diseases such as athlete's foot and valley fever, a lung infection causing pneumonia-like symptoms.
"Western medicine is just starting to examine these eastern remedies and finding that they probably do really work," he said.
Humans aren't the only targets of fungus. Kinsey, who works with fungal genetics, said any plant or animal could be afflicted by a fungal infection.
"Fungal infections of plants lead to billions of dollars in crop losses each year," he said.
Research on how to make good fungus and how to kill bad fungus, as well as Kinsey's research on mapping fungus genes, is supported by the stock center.
The move and the change in management may create some ripples, Kinsey said, but the effectiveness of the stock center as a research tool will not change.
McCluskey, who will remain curator at the center when it moves to UMKC, said humans at the stock center are vastly outnumbered.
"The FGSC holds about 45,000 fungal isolates and hundreds of thousands of clones and has three people." he said.
The 15,000 to one ratio doesn't bother McCluskey.
"The FGSC has impacted research around the world in a variety of systems — industrial, medical and in plant pathology — but has very little impact at KUMC," he said.

Tuesday, both coalitions grabbed their chalk and mounted one final push before elections.
1700 HRS.
Betta Force rallies at Campanile. After listening to speeches from their candidates and fueling up on sandwiches, the chalkers took to campus.
Erin Ross, Sabetha freshman and Delta Force member, laid out the battle plan.
"We split up into groups and try to cover all over campus," Ross said. "We have to hit the spots that haven't been chalked yet."
1800 HRS.
Delta Force chalk militia storms campus. The chalkers launched offensives near Watson Library, Stauffer-Flint Hall, Marvin Hall and on the Campanile pathways.
Ross said that positioning was an important part of Delta Force's strategy.
"You feel like you want to get to a spot first," Ross said. "We want
to get our platforms down. Go big or go home."
Small numbers of KUnited chalkers take the area near Chi Omega Fountain.
1900 HRS.
"We hit the lesser traveled roads that will be more traveled on election day with people trying to avoid all candidates," said Jana Szatkowski, Edmond, Okla., junior, and KUnited member.
Delta Force chalk crews rendezvous to reload and discuss strategy.
They decided to focus their efforts on Maliott Hall.

some Delta Force crews retreat home.

"We left all our chalk and fingernails on the battlefield," Richardson said.
At the same time, other Delta Force crews are underway, replenished with chalk, to finish with chalkings near Summerfield Hall and Robinson Center.
KUnited launches night operations on Summerfield and Haworth halls.
2330 HRS.
Nolan T.Jones, Pittsburg freshman and KUnited member, said the night assault inspired cameraderie among chalkers.
"Chalking is definitely fun," Jones said. "Being in the trenches with these people, why else would I do it?"
Satzkowski said that a part of KUNited's strategy was to outline letters first and chalk them later.
"We're just trying to claim our territory." Szatkowski said.

The second wave of KUnited chalkers retire. A third wave of KUnited chalkers launch an assault on Daisy Hill, chalking in front of residence halls.
0230 HRS.
Final wave of KUnited chalkers complete offensive by using all remaining chalk.
Nick Sterner, Shawnee sophomore and KUnited member, said that the night offensive went well and that the chalk on the ground symbolized something more.
"It's one of those deals where you're advertising your pride," Sterner said. "I think that we've had a lot of pride this year."

FLIER: Mudslinging about Delta Force shown to fraternities
"They will continue to lie to you, cheat you out of your student dollars and steal the dignity that you have brought the University of Kansas," the flier states. "Go to the polls now and show Delta Force that you refuse to take their bullshit and vote."
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Kit Brauer, who ran for vice president with Delta Force in 2002, saw the fliers in the bathrooms at his fraternity house, Pi Kappa Phi, yesterday morning. He said he tore down 18 of the fliers in the house's four bathrooms. Residents of various other fraternities and sororities said they hadn't seen the filer.
After he removed the tuers from Pi Kappa Phi, Brauer told his girlfriend, Anna Gregory, about them. Gregory, who is running for Senate with Delta Force, brought it to the attention of Blake Swenson, Delta Force's presidential candidate this year.
"I was upset," Swenson said. "This is a relationship we've tried to mend in this campaign. We want to reach out to the greek community because there's good people there, active people who want to make KU better."
KUnited presidential candidate Steve Munch and vice-presidential candidate Jeff Dunlap both said they knew nothing about the flier.
"This isn't the message that KUnited's about," Dunlap said. "We've tried to keep it positive all year."
Dunlap said the flier appeared to be the work of someone who had been involved in Senate in the past, but said he didn't think any members of his coalition were involved.
"There was no instruction to do this," Dunlap said. "If it was a member of our coalition, we're extremely disappointed with them."
Dunlap said he didn't see the fliers at his fraternity, Delta Upsilon.
Munch said he thought the fliers were lingering remnants of an animosity between the coalitions that had dwindled dramatically this
year. He said such negative attacks might have been commonplace in the past, but that progress had been made to eliminate them.

"It's not like we have the right to this community or they have the right to that," Munch said. "The fact that each coalition is branching out is better for the coalitions and for Senate in general."
Five of Delta Force's 46 candidates, or about 11 percent, are members of the greek community this year. Angie Carr, coordinator for the Center for Campus Life, said that 15 to 22 percent of University students were members of the greek community.

next to a polling site."
Phil Pecora, Tampa, Fla. junior, voted at the Wescoe Beach polling site yesterday afternoon. He said he wasn't planning on voting but was walking by Wescoe between classes and decided to stop and vote for two of his friends who were running with KUnited.
"I can understand how it can be annoying, but I have no personal problem with it," Pecora said of campaigning. "Expect it."
The elections commission will release the results at 6 p.m. today at the Hawks Nest in the Kansas Union.

Metcalf on pace for team record
By Shane Kucera skucera@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Considering the Kansas baseball program has been around for 125 years,breaking the all-time home run record would be no small accomplishment.
6-foot-3, 200-pound Travis Metcalf
leads the Big 12 Conference with 13 home runs and is on the verge of breaking the all-time home run record at Kansas.
KU
The record of 27 career home runs was set in 1980 by Matt Gundelfinger. With at least 22 games left in the

season, Metcalf is at 24. At his current pace, the Wamego native should hit seven more home runs to end the season with 20 and have 31 career home runs. Those numbers

would break Kansas' all-time records for most home runs in a single season and most career home runs.
What may be the most impressive statistic when it comes to Travis Metcalf is his age. He's only a junior. In his sophomore and junior seasons alone, he has accomplished more at the plate than almost any other Kansas player in history has in more than three

or four seasons.
Coach Ritch Price said Kansas was lucky to have Metcalf back for the 2004 campaign.
Following last season, the Minnesota Twins drafted Metcalf in the 38th round. Metcalf caught the eye of scouts by earning Big 12 Player of the Week, NCBWA Hitter of the Week and College Baseball Insider Player of the Week honors in 2003.
The Jayhawks won't be as fortunate next season. Metcalf has already decided to go in the draft as long as this season goes well. Judging by his success at the plate this season and being named preseason top defensive third baseman in the Big 12, Metcalf should easily go before the 38th round in the draft.
"Right now I think I'm physically and mentally ready to move onto the next level," Metcalf said. "All the coaches know I want this to be my last year so I can play major league baseball."
Metcalf's explosive power has given the pitching staff more confidence on the mound this season.
"As a pitcher, I don't have to worry about a shutout," said junior Mike Zagurski. "With a guy like Metcalf in the middle of the lineup you know you'll score some runs."
Despite being drafted and having a successful year at the plate, Metcaf said he was left with a sour taste in his mouth after the Big 12 Tournament.
The Jayhawks had their best season in almost a decade, but were knocked out of the tournament by Missouri in a one-run extra inning game.
After last year's experience, it wouldn't be surprising to see Metcalf step up big in this year's Big 12 tournament and show what he has in the final games of his college career.

Kansas Relays this weekend
Events relaxed for today
By Michael Phillips
mphillips@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas Relays will have a laidback feel to it before the craziness starts today.
The day features several special events and some long distance running.
There is only one field event all day: the hammer throw. The women will throw first at 11:00 a.m. to begin the Relaws.
Jayhawks Jennifer Widerstrom and Jamie Waters could start the meet off right. Waters' career best was at last year's Relays.
100
That will be followed at 3:30 p.m. with the men's hammer throw.
There could be a definite lack of drama in this event, as Stanford's Nick Welihozkiy should destroy the field. The next 11 best athletes are all from Kansas schools.
The track events combine to make up what is being called the "distance carnival."
Between 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. the unseeded runs will take place. These are typically events for less-experienced runners.
The collegiate competition will begin at 4:30 p.m. with the Women's 3,000-meter run.

Relays to bring fans, athletes, commerce

Kansan sportswriter
"It's not just a track meet."
Kansas Relays director Tim Weaver's words take on significance this week when more than15,000 visitors will come to Lawrence for the 77th annual Kansas Relays.
While visitors are in the area, they will spend an estimated $4 million, with just over half being spent in the city of Lawrence.
Troy Roberts, director of convention and sports sales at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, compiled these numbers in 2003 based on figures from the Athletics Department.
Roberts' report shows that there are 1,147 available hotel rooms in the city,and they will all be booked this weekend.
General manager of the Lawrence Holiday Inn Tom Rost said all of the rooms there are booked. Last-minute travelers should call and ask if there have been cancellations, he said.
But the spending extends beyond just the hotel rooms. Last year 6,073 people ended up staying in Topeka or Kansas City, spending an estimated

It was a shoot out at Arrocha Ballpark yesterday between Kansas senior pitcher Kara Pierce and Missouri junior pitcher Erin Kalka.
Midway through the at-bat, Masterson stole second base and moved into scoffing position. The call was close, with the empire ruling her safe.
Kansas lost the competition 3-0, but Pierce was only partly responsible. Kansas' record is now 24-21-1 and 2-7 in the Big 12 Conference, while Missouri improves to 19-21 and 6-2 in the conference.

Pierce recorded 13 strikeouts and faced the minimum number of batters through five innings. The sixth inning did not turn out quite as well.
After walking the lead-off batter, freshman catcher Kathy Masterson, she struck out freshman Amanda White. She forced junior left fielder Ashley
Abby Tillery/Kansom
Kansas coach Tracy Bunge immediately stepped onto the field to have a few words.
Destiny Frankenstein, sophomore shortstop, tagged out Missouri centerfielder Mary Masterson at second base yesterday. Missouri defeated Kansas 3-0.
"I wish I could show you that on tane." Bunge said.
A couple pitches later Bowers hit a rocket over the second basemen and into center field. Masterson made it home with Bowers notching the double. Pierce had thrown her one bad pitch of the game.
In the seventh inning, a poor performance by the defense allowed another two runs. None of the runs were earned as they came off of errors by the first and third basemen.
"I'm not disappointed in my teammates at all," Pierce said. "I know we're better than that and it won't happen again."
Kansas made an attempt to tie in the bottom of the seventh, sending the tying run to the plate three times, only to see all three batters sent back to the dugout.
Kansas will play two games over the weekend against Oklahoma State. Saturday's game is at 2 p.m. and Sunday's is at 1 p.m.
Both games are available via LiveStats on kuathletics.com.

Mangino: We'll be better on defense

Amanda Kim Stairrott/Kansas
When fans look at the 2004 team, one question always seems to arise:
"Will there be a defense this season?"
Kansas' defense is often viewed as what could hold back the Jayhawks this season. Last year's defense allowed 30.5 points per game while the offense averaged 29.5 points per game.
One of the main problems was that the defensive line struggled last season, allowing 4.9 yards per carry, and the team only notched 23 sacks. Many of the players return, and Mangino added several newcomers through recruiting, so this is a unit that he looks at to make improvements.
"We'll be better on defense."
Mangino said. "I'm confident of that. The overall speed of the defense has improved a bit."
McMillan had 31 tackles and three sacks last season, and is quick around the end.
TALK TO SPORTS: Contact Henry C. Jackson or Maggie Newcomer at SPORTS@KANSAN.COM
The defensive ends have looked strong throughout spring practice. John McCoy, senior, and David McMillan, senior, are working with the first team, while Jermail Ashley, junior, and Greg Tree, senior, are with the second team.
The recruiting class included Anthony Collins, freshman, a versatile athlete who is also a good basketball
McCoy was used as a situational pass rusher at defensive end last season after starring at linebacker at Victor Valley College. He is the fastest defensive end, running a 4.56-second 40-yard dash, and had 114 tackles, 45 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks as a sophomore at Victor Valley.
player, and Charlton Keith, junior, who was a freshman All-American at Minnesota.
He is heavier this season, and Mangino said this was the most active he had seen Watkins since Mangino came here.
Travis Watkins, senior, is one of the players to watch on the defensive line.
Tim Brandt, a freshman walk-on, is in the other starting spot, but there is every indication that newcomer James McClinton will make an immediate impact.
McClinton was rated one of the top defensive tackles in Texas as a senior in high school. The Jayhawks have also just signed Chadd Felps, a defensive tackle from Coffeyville Community College to help out. He was second team All-Jayhawk

Royals lose in Chicago again ninth inning rally not enough
HAR PRODUCTIONS
CHICAGO — The White Sox again blew a big lead against Kansas City. Only this time, Chicago came back to win.
Harris Roit, Parsons junior, played football yesterday outside of Memorial Stadium. Roit said he had to take advantage of the weather.
Joe Crede hit a bases-loaded single over a drawn-in outfield in the ninth inning as Chicago beat the Royals 10-9 yesterday.
Trailing 8-5 entering the ninth, Kansas City took a 9-1 lead on Carlos Beltran's two-run homer — his second of the game — and a solo shot by Mike Sweeney off Billy Koch.
Abby Tillery/Kansan
But the White Sox, who led 6-0 early, staged a comeback of their own.
Curtis Leskanic walked two and an error by second baseman Mendy Lopez loaded the bases.
Paul Konerko hit a fly ball single to right that fell between Lopez and Juan Gonzalez and just inside the line, tying the game.
Nate Field replaced Leskanic and the Royals brought Gonzalez in as a fifth infielder and drew their two remaining outfielders in. Crede then hit a 3-2 pitch to deep right-center.
Fun in the sun
Jon Adkins got the win, pitching one-third of an inning.
Beltran had four hits and four RBIs, including a two-run home run in the seventh off starter Jon Garland. On opening day, the Royals trailed Chicago 7-3 before scoring six in the ninth to win 9-7 on Beltran's two-run home run off Damaso Marte.
Brian Anderson will start today's series finale against the White Sox, while Jimmy Gobble — today's slated starter — will now pitch Friday against the Twins.
Bonds aims for championship focus not on future records
SAN FRANCISCO — So, what's next for Barry Bonds? He doesn't even want to think about it. Not yet, anyway.
Bonds was so busy passing his godfather in his climb up the home run list, he didn't ponder what might happen once he accomplished the 'feat.
With his seemingly effortless swing and powerful 39-year-old body still going strong, anything appears possible for the San Francisco slugger.
"I'm not going to try to figure out what's next," said Bonds, who homered on consecutive days to reach No. 661 and pass Willie Mays for third place. "I'm just trying to stay healthy and win a championship."
Babe Ruth (714) and Hank Aaron (755) still loom in Bonds' path, of course. But first, Bonds wants to enjoy his latest historic homer.
After all of his accomplishments, he believes he's finally earned the admiration of his godfather.
"Barry doesn't need approval from me, because I've been there since he was 5," said Mays, a teammate of Bonds' late father, Bobby. "Whatever he does, right or wrong. I'm going to be there for him." Barry knows how much I love him."
Bonds has won a record six NL MVP awards and set the single-season home run record with 73 in 2001, but he may never consider his career complete without a World Series ring. He fell six outs short of the title in 2002 and came back the next spring proclaiming his determination to give the Giants another chance to win it all.
Former Cardinals star plugs Hardee's in new commercial
ST. LOUIS — Hardee's has given McDonald's something to chew on by signing Big Mac.
The St. Louis-based fast-food chain has signed former baseball slugger Mark "Big Mac" McGwire as its pitchman in a new television commercial touting the Hardee's Thickburger.
The spot, which debuted yesterday, marks the first major television advertising campaign McGwire has taken part in since he retired in 2001, three seasons after belting a then-record 70 home runs for the St. Louis Cardinals. San Francisco's Barry Bonds broke McGwire's single-season homer record in 2001, hitting 73.
The 30-second commercial, airing in Hardee's markets in 34 states, shows the beefy former player chomping into a big burger.
"They call him Big Mac, and guess what his favorite hamburger is: the Hardee's half-pound Thickburger," the announcer says. "Because some guys don't like eating a half pound of bread to get a half pound of meat."
McGwire hit 583 home runs, sixth on the all-time list. Now, Hardee's hopes that McGwire's endorsement has Thick-burgers going, going, gone.
"I think almost every time I had a hamburger before a game there was a home run," McGwire said jokingly in a statement yesterday by Hardee's.
The Thickburger, introduced last year, is offered with one-third, one-half or two-thirds of a pound of beef, along with a low-carb cousin and versions featuring bacon or mushroom and Swiss cheese.
Astros pitcher gets victory to complete 3-game sweep
ST. LOUIS — Wade Miller walked a career-high seven, which usually comes back to haunt a pitcher.
Not this time.
Miller worked around the wildness to win his fifth consecutive start against St. Louis, leading the Houston Astros over the Cardinals 11-1 yesterday for a three-game sweep.
"I can't pitch like that all year long and expect to get a win," Miller said. "But I was able to bear down when I had to and throw some decent pitches when I had to."
Miller (2-0) gave up only two hits in seven shutout innings. He is 12-3 against St. Louis.

Food draws people to support Relays
By Michael Phillips
mphillips@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The demand for people's attention on campus was at a premium yesterday.
Between Student Senate campaigners and the inflatable obstacle course, the Kansas Relays used a different method to get attention: cheap food.
At the Kansas Relays Exchange Zone, people can get a hot dog and a soda for $1.
The event will continue today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.in front of Stauffer Flint Hall on campus.
Billy Steffens, a member of the Relays Committee, was manning the booth yesterday.
"Hopefully the food will pull people in," the junior said, "and while they're here they will check out the displays."
Visitors can see track and field equipment, play on two PlayStation 2 consoles and learn about record performances from past Kansas Relays.
There will also be a four-minute raffle, where prizes are given away every four minutes. The title alludes to Jim Ryun's four-minute mile.
Ryun will be inducted into the Kansas Relays Hall of Fame on Saturday.
"Hopefully the food will pull people in,and while they're here they will check out the displays."
Billy Steffens Relays Committee member
Steffens said it was an opportunity to get people excited about the Relays and inform them about track and field.
The Relays have a lot of elite athletes, he said.
"I'm very excited. Every year it gets bigger and better."
He acknowledges that one big factor of the Relay's success can't be planned for.
The better the temperatures, the more people that will be found in Memorial Stadium this weekend.
The weather will be in the low 80s, according to www.weather.com, but Steffens and other meet officials give a nervous smile when talking about it.
As they know, good weather gets people's attention.

Actortrades in badge,gun
'NYPD Blue' cast member takes on new role as gladiator
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES—Best known as Detective Baldwin Jones on ABC's *NYPD Blue*, Henry Simmons exchanges his badge and gun for a net and spear to play gladiator slave Draba in USA Network's version of *Spartacus*.
"Henry is extremely believable. He was the big surprise to me how well he melted into that old world," said Robert Dornhelm, who directed this adaptation of Howard Fast's novel about a slave
revolution against the Roman empire.
"Draba ignites the revolution by his sacrifice," Dornheim said. "Being able to kill Spartacus but deciding not to — knowing that it means his own death — is the ultimate spark."
The title role of the revolutionary leader is played by Goran Visnijic, born in Croatia, not too far distant from Thrace, birthplace of the real Spartacus.
Visnjic is most familiar to audiences wearing a white coat and stethoscope as Dr. Luka Kovac on NBC's medical drama ER. Here he wears far less and carries a sword and shield.
"I wish he sword. He had the easier time." Simmons joked,
who added that it was difficult to learn to throw his net without getting it tangled around himself rather than Visnjic.
After rehearsing their climactic fight sequence, Simmons discovered "there is a certain rhythm, a dance to it. It became so much fun after a while. It was like I was a child in makeup and play gear."
He was less at ease with his costume. When he first joined NYPD Blue in 2000, the actor was called on to take "more than my shirt off" in love scenes. But those sequences were brief and filmed "in some kind of security on a closed set." On Spartacus, he was "out there in this skimpy outfit fighting in front of hundreds of people."

Conference as a sophomore. Incoming All-State lineman Todd Hasselhorst from Olathe East will also start out on defense.
MANGINO: Defense adds speed, bulks up roster
The three junior linebackers are the strength of the team at this point. Nick Reid, Gabe Toomey and Banks Floodman were all at least honorable mention All-Big 12, with Toomey garnering second team honors, the highest on the team.
A fan favorite, Toomey finished second on the team in tackles and seemed to be in on every big defensive play all season. His size and speed are ideal for a Big 12 middle linebacker, but he has suffered nagging injuries. Banged up right now, Mangino said Toomey would participate in limited contact this spring.
Floodman has the potential to
be one of the top linebackers in the Big 12 this season. If Floodman starts the season making plays, he, along with Toomey, could get promotion for first team All-Big 12.
Kevin Kane, junior, played extensively as a backup last season, while Brandon Perkins led the team with seven sacks as a pass rusher. Coming in the fall are freshmen Mike Rivera and Joe Mortensen.
The defensive backs allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete 62 percent of their passes last season. So Mangino went out and landed four defensive backs, including two who are practicing with the first team in spring ball.
Theo Baines, junior, is a cover cornerback with good quickness and speed. theinsiders.com listed
Baines as one of the best kept secrets in junior college. Also from junior college is Rodney Harris, junior, a versatile safety who can also play cornerback. The cornerback race also includes Charles Gordon, sophomore, who could also play receiver.
At safety, Tony Stubbs, senior, and Jonathan Lamb, sophomore, are returning starters who ranked among the top players on the team in tackles last season. Aqib Talib and Raymond Brown are two freshmen who could figure prominently in the fall.
Calling the defensive plays again will be Bill Young, Kansas defensive coordinator. He was often the scapegoat last season and could be again if the defense slacks off.

RELAYS: Event showcases appearances by legends
$1.9 million
Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar, 1012 Massachusetts St., is expecting more people and sales thanks to the Relays and will be hosting a Relays party tonight.
General manager Aaron Brinkerhoff said the restaurant would increase its staff for the weekend in anticipation of the young-adult crowd.
Weaver said the Relays provide recruiting opportunities for

The chancellor is one of our biggest fans," Weaver said.
This year, more people may stay later on Saturday night because of the Kansas Relays Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
The event will feature appearances by five track legends, including Jim Ryun, who became the first high school student to run a mile in under four minutes. He was later named Sports Illustrated's "Sportsman of the Year."
often come in Olympicyears, and this year is no different, said Weaver.
The event will carry a Greek theme to correspond with the Olympics, which will be held in Athens this summer.
Athletes are also coming in from numerous countries, including the Bahamas, Barbados, St. Kitts, Liberia, Canada and Mexico.

day will take place: the 10,000-meter run.
Up next is the Men's Masters Mile. The Masters is open to anyone over age 35. There are five entrants this year, led by Bryan Niewald, who is the event's defending champion.
At 4:55 p.m. the 5,000 meter- runs will take place, with the women going first.
At 6 p.m. the longest run of the
Only 12 runners will compete on the women's side. Kris Woolf of Southeast Missouri State finished fourth a year ago; expect a close finish in this race.
The night ends with an event that is open to the community. Anyone can enter the Men's and Women's Open 5K. For those people not metrically inclined, the 5K is just over 3 miles. Entrants will receive a bib number and get to run on the main track.
The women will take off at 7:30 p.m., followed by the men at 8 p.m.
All events will take place at Memorial Stadium. Entry is free for students with a valid KUID. Non-KU students will need to purchase a Kansas Relays button for $10. The button is good for admission all weekend.

4/15 Thurs. Ants in his pants
Any biology professor will tell you that Edward O. Wilson is the closest living thing to that rarest of species, The Perfect Scientist. His writing is eloquent, his award cabinet is filled to the brim and his ideas are molding and shaping the field of science. Wilson speaks today at the Kansas Union at 7:30 p.m. Sure, he devoted an entire tome to ants, but he's not boring. He's considered the father of sociobiology and the grandfather of evolutionary psychology. And like Abraham Lincoln (whom he slightly resembles) Wilson's a deist. If nothing else, go because his new book, The Future of Life, has a chapter entitled "The Bottleneck." That's exactly where you'll want to go to drown your sorrows after hearing Wilson's worst fear: that we're going to hell in a handbasket and taking a few other species along with us. It's enough to make you start recycling.

It was a paradise fit for fashion fiends, artists and voyeurs alike. There's no arguing that Robolust, a "simultaneous fashion show and dance party," wasn't titillating for all five senses. Yes, even taste if one happened to find themselves cozied up to the Jackpot Saloon's freshly shined oak bar. A line in the show's program read, "This event happens only once," and after attending, that's for damn certain.
"We wanted to create a non-traditional fashion show with themes of futurism, robotics and sexiness. Retro-electro," says Vacek. Her and Shively accomplished just that by inviting an eclectic blend of designers with backgrounds not only in fashion but theatre and performance art as well. The show encompassed other sensory elements with a backdrop
DJs Meredith Vacek and Chris Shively orchestrated last Saturday's event in the Jackpot Saloon and Music Hall, 943 Massachusetts St., formerly known as La Tasca.
"I had no control over how the show would go," says Jennifer Stimple of her trans-gendered robots, but judging by the enthusiasm of the sex-crazed audience, it went well. Every talented designer and their models were an integral part of the magnetism
screening everything from the likes of Kung Fu films to old Kurt Russell movies. Vacek and Shively scored the show with the perfect intensity of blood-pumping industrial beats to off the wall techno. Everyone from the Midwest hipster to the guy in the French maid costume was at the mercy of the undeniable energy that was coursing through the Jackpot Saloon Saturday night.
that made Robolust such an electric event. The evening was a transformation that evolved from a fashion show into an erotic dance party and while the saying usually goes, "actions speak louder than words," in this case, the pictures are doing all the talking. This event happened only once and it was called Robolust.

The Death of a Nuclear Family
By Marissa Heffley, Jayplay writer (Or: What Happens When Mom 'n' Dad Get Un-hitched)
Former KU student Erin Hurd grew up in the perfect American family. Even though her parents didn't always get along, they always took the time to go to family reunions, shopping or to sporting events. Her parents always made sure she and her brother were raised with family as the first priority.
Hurd never expected her parents' 23-year marriage to end, but during her freshman year of college, her parents separated. Suddenly she found that her family life was about to change in ways she'd never imagined. Her parents started online dating and sold the house in which she had spent a chunk of her childhood. Hurd's world was dramatically different.
While being a child of divorced parents is not uncommon, being an adult child of divorced parents is. The United States Census Bureau reported in 2002 that 40 percent of marriages end in divorce. After a couple has been married for more than 10 years, they are 20 percent less likely to get divorced. This percentage of people leaves their children in a confusing position.
Jeffrey Zimmerman, author of Adult Children of Divorce and clinical psychologist, says adult children often feel hurt and confused when their parents split. On top of dealing with the trust and self-esteem issues that many children of divorce face, they're expected to act like an adult and be tough. One common problem of adults whose parents have recently divorced is the belief that the childhood they thought had been happy was a lie.
Illustration: Zach Newton
Hurd, for one, felt like her parents had acted
fake. "They'd act happy on holidays and at high school basketball games, but after high school it was bye-bye Brady Bunch."
Loyalty conflicts are also more common in adult children of divorce. Older children do not have the same structure that the custody agreements of younger children provide. When children choose to spend a
holiday with one side of the family, parents can easily interpret their actions as though the children are playing favorites.
Josh Magariel has grown accustomed to dealing with his parents' arguments. The Overland Park junior hasn't lived with both parents under the same roof since he was 5 years old. Magariel says he doesn't even understand the dynamics of living with two parents. Having divorced parents seems natural to him. While his parents do not fight for his and his brother and sister's attention, they occa-
and sister's attention, they sionally call him complaining about each other.
Magariel says that he has learned to communicate to both parents that he doesn't want to be caught in the middle of any of their arguments. He refuses to listen to either of them. "Basically I tell them to stop acting like children," he says.
Zimmerman agrees it's important to communicate to parents that you don't care who did what to whom. You love both of them. It's especially important for older children of divorce to stay out of their parents' disagreements because parents are more likely to talk to older children about problems.
Along with communication, counseling can help ease through the rough transitions. Adult children of divorce do not have the luxury of having parents watching out for their mental health. They need to know it's OK to feel upset and work through problems with the help of counseling.
Hurd found that her biggest problem was realizing that her parents had flaws. "It wasn't
them telling me that they were disappointed in me for coming home late, but me disappointed in them. Gradually I realized that they make mistakes just like me. I want them to still love me if I screw up, so I have to forgive them."

Q
['Dear Alice got nothin' on us!]
Whenever my boyfriend and I have sex it's very uncomfortable because I'm so dry. What's wrong with me?
Ann, Junior
a
Elizabeth: Try KY.
Chris: Although KY works lubricating wonders in the sack, I'm a little surprised Elizabeth didn't recommend that you first talk to your Gyno Buddy and make sure you don't have a medical condition. If y'all are using condoms, there's a chance you could be allergic to latex or the spermicide. And maybe it would also help if you were actually attracted to him.
Q
I've heard that girls who masturbate a lot will keep their first two fingernails short so they don't scrape themselves. What do you think?
Pump, Sophomore
a
Chris: I've heard that really creepy guys are always looking at girls fingernails. And you're an idiot.
Elizabeth: Come on, do you really believe that?
There are plenty of girls who have long nails that masturbate and there are also girls with short nails who do not. Not everything that you hear is true.
Q
My boyfriend keeps telling me he wants to try something called a 'donkey punch' when we have sex. I don't know what it is and don't want to look stupid, so I've just been laughing it off. Can you fill me in?
Melissa, Freshman
a
---
Elizabeth: I actually have no clue what a 'donkey punch' is, but it certainly doesn't sound appealing. I guess if you are curious you could experiment and see what it's all about, however there is something seriously disturbing and wrong with any guy mentioning the word punch when referring to something that he would like to try with you.
Chris: Holy shit! Well, I can't describe it here, but google it or check out urbandictionary.com to see what your boyfriend's talking about. And then cry for the next year for actually dating this asshole.

The Path to Perfection By Elizabeth Marvel, Jayplay writer
Can ultimate spiritual enlightenment be found in the Church of Scientology?
Below Left: Scientology founder L.Ron Hubbard wrote hundreds of books on topics ranging from science fiction to education. Below Right: Hubbard's 1950 book Dianetics was a best seller.
---
Eric Locke's marriage was in trouble when he discovered Scientology. A friend suggested he read L. Ron Hubbard's book, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. Locke took his friend's suggestion and read the scriptural text of the Church of Scientology. He says the book helped him make sense of his relationship with his wife, and their reactions to each other. He tried the techniques outlined in the book, and found they worked just as Hubbard said they would. Locke was convinced. He was a believer.
Sixteen years later, Locke, 43, a Merriam engineering consultant and Church of Scientology member, attributes many of the changes in his life to Scientology and Dianetics. "I have way more self-confidence than I used to. I can handle women better, I'm more assertive and outgoing. I used to be pretty shy," Locke says. "Engineering came me to talk to people like I was an authority figure. Now, I can talk to almost anyone alien came to Earth, I'd probably try to talk to him."
I asked several people on campus to tell me the first thing that came to mind when I said the word "Scientology." All of the people I questioned responded with the same words — "celebrity," "Tom Cruise," "Hollywood" and "cult." If someone had asked me this same question, I would have answered similarly. I was sure there was more to this religion than movie stars, so I set out to find out the truth about the Church of Scientology. This is what I found.
Knowing how to know
If you break the word "Scientology" into its Latin roots, "Sci-" means knowledge, or knowingness and "-ology" means the study of a particular topic. So the technical definition of Scientology is the study of knowing, or knowing how to know. In What is Scientology?, another important text of the religion, Scientology is described as "the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, universes and other life."
Inspiration for religion: the atomic bomb
L. Ron Hubbard, primarily a science-fiction writer and jack-of-all-trades, founded the Church of Scientology in 1956. When atomic weapons were developed during World War II, Hubbard saw that humans had the capability to end life on this planet. This was the turning point for Hubbard. He saw that technology, such as the atomic bomb, had become more advanced than our ability to solve the emotional and psychological problems of humans. His solution was Dianetics. Dianetics was first published in 1950, and was on The New York Times best-seller list for six months. According to What is Scientology?, Dianetics comes from the Greek word "Dia-" meaning "through" and "-nous" meaning "soul." The book further describes it as "what the soul is doing to the body through the mind."
Once Hubbard found a way to examine the mind through Dianetics, he wanted to answer the questions of how humans got to Earth, what happens when we die, what a spirit is and what the capabilities of a spirit are and its relationship with the world. This continued research is the basis of the Church of Scientology.

The Bridge to a better life
Dianetics and Scientology auditing is an integral part of church belief. Auditing sounds like therapy with a psychologist, but with a major difference: Unlike psychologists, auditors don't suggest solutions to a person's problems. They try to remain neutral so a person can work out his own problems for himself. "People don't want to know what's wrong with them," Al Adriance, public contact secretary for the Church of Scientology of Kansas City says. "They usually know already. They want to know how to get rid of the problem, and how it got there in the first place," he says.
Dianetics is based on the concept that the human mind is divided into the analytical mind and the reactive mind. The analytical mind processes information and examines situations and problems. The reactive mind is the unconscious mind — the source of fear, emotion, pain and psychosomatic illnesses. Scientologists define psychosomatic illnesses as physical problems caused by the mind. For example, stress can cause a person to get a cold. But the original problem, the stress, was created by the mind. Essentially, many physical illnesses begin in a person's head as a result of negative thinking.
Locke, a Scientologist, says auditing erases the pain from a person's life. If a woman's husband has died, and she's afraid to move on, auditing can help her get through the loss and allow her to love again. Locke says the process cannot erase a positive emotion like love, but through auditing, one can better handle extreme and unwanted emotions, like anger. Auditing will not cure physical illness, and auditors will recommend that a person get medical attention for a physical problem
A
Below Left: Scientologists use a device called an e-meter to measure emotional response to events, feelings and people. Below Right: The Church of Scientology of Kansas City, MO, keeps a huge library of L. Ron Hubbard's books. Posters detailing emotional states adorn the walls.

before they come in for auditing. The Auditor's Code, which is a code of conduct, says that an auditor can't audit someone with a terminal illness who expects to be cured through auditing. Though it can't cure physical illness, auditing can help speed up the healing process and take care of any spiritual problem surrounding the illness. If someone is in a car wreck and breaks his arm, for example, Scientologists say auditing can help heal the break more quickly, and it can rid a person of the emotional trauma of the accident.
The process of auditing to achieve a state of spiritual enlightenment that Scientologists call "Clear" is the ultimate goal of a church member. Attaining Clear begins with a preclear, or the person receiving the auditing. They come to the church with a problem they want to work out, and sit down with an auditor, which is defined as "one who listens."
Auditors may or may not use an electropsychometer, or an e-meter, to find a preclear's problems, but according to Adriance, an e-meter speeds up the auditing process significantly. The e-meter runs a small electrical current, which you can't feel, through the body. When a person reacts to a question, the needle on the e-meter will move. Hubbard's The Book Introducing the E-Meter says, "Tests consecutively show that an individual's emotional state, his thoughts, etc., instantly raise or lower the electrical resistance of the body." This resistance is what causes the needle to move. The auditor asks the preclear questions, and when he reacts to a question, the auditor will continue asking questions about that particular event or topic, guiding the preclear until he gets to the source of the problem.
I tried out an e-meter at a Psychic Fair in Kansas City a few years ago. As I grasped the cold metal cylinders, the auditor began to ask me questions. I watched the needle swing lazily back and forth until the auditor asked about my father. I haven't had the best relationship with my dad, and the e-meter's needle started swinging quickly. The auditor continued asking me questions about our relationship and, eventually, this process would supposedly help me find out what my big issues with my dad were so I could get over them. Preclears go through this process many times so they can rid their minds of debilitating emotions and psychosomatic illnesses.
Preclears go through many levels of auditing before they reach Clear. This process typically takes six months to several years, and it's called "crossing The Bridge" or "moving up the grade chart." In theory, once a person reaches Clear, he is more intelligent, more free with his emotions, mentally stable, self-determined, able to enjoy life to the fullest and is healthier and more vigorous. "My IQ has gone from 119 to 150," Locke, who is Clear, says. "And I'm not bound by the usual customs of how to do things.

Paying for religion
One thing is clear: Scientology isn't cheap, and its cost is one of the major complaints from critics. Without auditing, a person can never reach Clear. He may be able to solve some of his problems with training, but he will never cross The Bridge. So, preclears have two choices. They can pay the fees, which can amount to tens of thousands of dollars, or they can be trained to be auditors, which can defray much of the expense.
Generally, a preclear pays $3,200 for a 12-hour block of auditing, called an intensive. Just one step on the grade chart may take up an entire intensive, and the whole grade chart consists of over 150 different processes on which a person can be audited. If a preclear chooses to train to be an auditor instead of pay for all the intensives, the cost is $3,200 total. Auditors in training are not Clear, but are working toward it, just like their preclears.
Few religions require church members to pay for services. Tim Miller, University of Kansas professor of religious studies, says he has doubts about some aspects of Scientology, mostly regarding the cost of auditing. "The fees for service are too expensive. Most religions are based on tithes," Miller says. "I don't know of any others that have an exact fee. Some religions are more heavy-handed about money. Mormonism, for example, requires that people pay 10 percent of their pay, and you can't do certain things within the church without this tithing."
But Scientologists say a life without problems is worth the high price tag. "Going Clear is so utterly priceless," Adriance says of his experience with Clear. "For what it costs to go Clear, people pay more for a house, or a car to drive for a few years."
But it isn't just the price that has opponents angry. Within the past 10 years, Web sites opposing Scientology have sprung up all over the Internet. When I typed "Scientology Web sites" into Google, thousands of entries were retrieved. The alt.religion.scientology Web site, www.altreligionscientology.org, lists over 80 Web sites that are critical of Scientology. Those 80 are from the United States alone. Looking at these sites, criticisms of the Church of Scientology include lying to and inflicting mental distress on members, holding members against their will, fraud and stifling free speech by suing those who speak out against Scientology.
Andreas Heldal-Lund runs one of these Web sites, Operation Clambake, www.xenu.net. Since starting his site, Heldal-Lund has heard from thousands of current and former Scientologists. The site features a message board where current and past Scientologists can tell their stories, a FAQ about Scientology, links to recent news articles about the religion and links to topics related to Scientology, including personal accounts from past members, and selected church documents. Heldal-Lund's site also includes information on how to support the fight against Scientology.
The Church of Scientology pursues critics through the courts. While researching the church, I found that it has been involved in over 10 lawsuits, whose charges range from wrongful death to attempts to shut down Web sites opposing the Church.
In 1997, The St. Petersburg Times published an article detailing the death of Lisa McPherson, a woman who died in the care of Scientologists. McPherson's family sued the Church of Scientology for her wrongful death. The article says the lawsuit claims McPherson "received Scientology treatments that 'were carried out by medically untrained and unlicensed personnel.'"
On Nov.18, 1995, after McPherson was involved in a small traffic accident in Clearwater, Fla., she was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was given medical and psychological treatment. The article says that according to the lawsuit, members of the Church of Scientology told doctors that getting psychological treatment was against McPherson's religion. She was released into the Scientologist's care.
When Scientologists brought her to the hospital 17 days later, McPherson was dead. The local medical examiner's office found that McPherson had died of blood clotting because of "bed rest and severe dehydration." Medical examiner Joan Wood added that McPherson probably went without fluids for five to 10 days, and was probably unconscious up to two days before her death. Wood also found cockroach bites on McPherson's body. The Church of Scientology refutes these claims, and says McPherson died of a

SCIENTOLOGY
staph infection. The church sued Wood for access to the autopsy report, including blood work and organ and tissue samples.
A June 13, 2000 article in The Tampa Tribune says criminal charges in the McPherson case were dropped against the Church of Scientology because of "missteps and inconsistent statements by the chief medical examiner." During the trial, Wood changed her autopsy report, saying McPherson's death was accidental. Today, McPherson's family is in the middle of a civil suit against the church.
In a more recent legal battle, the Church of Scientology is suing Gerry Armstrong, of Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada.
for $10 million. A March 25, 2004 article in The San Francisco Chronicle says that Armstrong, a 12-year member of the church, breached an agreement he had with them from a previous lawsuit. Armstrong signed an agreement saying he could not talk about Scientology in public. At the time, he was one of Scientology's harshest critics.
If Armstrong violated this agreement, he would have to pay $50,000 for every utterance about the church. The church estimates that he has spoken out about Scientology 201 times since signing the agreement, for a total over $10 million. Armstrong's trial is set for some time this month.
Regardless of these suits and troubles surrounding Scientology, Adriance says Scientology helps people, and has no slant or hidden agenda. "There aren't too many genuine things out there. The medical field is so into giving out drugs. It becomes very obvious that the accusations come from people who are slanted," Adriance says. "But as the saying goes, the accuser is always guilty of the crime." Heldal-Lund says Scientologists are opposed to doctors and psychologists/psychiatrists because Hubbard believed they were conspiring against him. He says Hubbard instilled this idea into the church, and today Scientologists believe 100 percent of his writings. "So when Hubbard wrote the document 'Branch 5 Project, Project Squirrel,' all Scientologists have since had to follow and believe his claim that: '1. People who attack Scientology are criminals. 2. If one attacks Scientology, he gets investigated for crimes. 3. If one does not attack Scientology, despite not being with it, one is safe,'" Heldal-Lund says.
it's all in the stars...
Celebrities are important to the success of Scientology because they have an enormous influence on society. Many celebrities have found solace in the religion, including actors Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kristie Alley and Jenna Elfman, and musicians/singers Isaac Hayes and Lisa Marie Presley. Hubbard created the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre to accommodate these artists and celebrities. In What is Scientology?, the Celebrity Centre is described as a place where an artist can rehabilitate the source of his creativity, the human spirit.
Attracting celebrities helps to attract new members of the general public to Scientology. "Attracting celebrities is not different from what our culture as a whole does. Who cares who's dating who?" Miller says. "People tend to drool over celebrities, and it makes Scientology more attractive to people. That's just the way our culture works."
A Personal Choice
This information is just the tip of a mammoth iceberg of Web sites and literature. If you're interested in Scientology, Heldal-Lund suggests looking at both sides of the debate before forming an opinion of the religion. Ultimately though, religion is a personal choice, and as per Scientology belief, "What works for you, works for you. If it doesn't work for you, then it doesn't work for you." Scientology must be working for many people," Miller says. As for Eric Locke, he says Scientology helped him realize that he and his wife had different purposes. They are now divorced and Locke has since married. He says both he and his ex-wife are much happier with their lives — all thanks to Scientology.

SHOES ON A WIRE The fine art and fascinating history of shoe tossing.
By Mandalee Meisner, Jayplay writer
One summer day three years ago, Paul Brook was attempting to throw a pair of shoes tied together at the laces onto a power line by his house.
Even though they see them every day, most residents of the student ghetto have no idea who puts sneakers on telephone wires, much less why. The pasttime has a
If you wanted a lesson in shoe tossing, Brook, master shoe tosser, would be a good place to start. Brook has thrown enough pairs of shoes — most mismatched and tied together with shoelaces — over electric wires to fill at least three cardboard boxes. Big ones. His work mainly takes place on the 300 block of 14th Street in Lawrence.
long history and Brook isn't the only one who finds pleasure in decorating our landscape with shoes of every shape and size. Other examples of shoe tossing can be found in Topeka, Kansas City, Chicago, Boston and Tijuana. In San Francisco, Brooks found a pair with a poem, which passersby could read, stuck to the bottom of the sole. But even though shoe
tossing is mostly a phenomenon associated with urban areas and dangerous lifestyles, it has found a home above Lawrence's streets.
Ernesto Cruz, an American studies graduate teaching assistant, knows of two "urban legends" associated with tossed shoes, both dealing with gritty inner-city realities. The first one is a mourning rite. A pair of shoes dangling from a wire or a tree means that somebody has recently died. In the second, a crack cocaine dealer tosses a shoe up so his clients know that he's in business.
So how did something heavily associated with the urban population end up in Lawrence? The origins seem steeped in mystery, but Brook thinks it may have begun with 14th Street. He and his friends have been shoe tossing for a while on their block. He's not sure if it started with a drunken band member at the "Pirate House," but he is sure that tossed shoes have become a common sight.
Brook calls shoe-tossing a "mockery of corporate advertisement." If someone
sees an advertisement for Pepto-Bismol enough times, they'll start to think heartburn is just something that comes with eating, not necessarily a product of eating insensibly. Similarly, Brook says that if people see shoes on wires enough, they'll integrate it into their idea of normality instead of questioning it. "I like it because it makes people wonder; it makes them ask questions," Brook says. "I think it's good for people to wonder."
just like graffiti artists "tag" buildings with spray paint. "I think it's artistic actually," Dean says. "If you take a toothbrush and put it on a desk, people will notice it. It's just something out of place."
Cruz would probably agree with Brook's assertion that people are copycats by nature. But in his world, shoe tossing isn't a form of corporate mockery. It's a classic example of misappropriation.
In sociological terms, appropriation happens when one group borrows a ritual, image or aspect of another group's cultural identity. Misappropriation is a corrupted form of appropriation — more like stealing than borrowing. It's when one culture assumes something that had meaning for another culture and ignores the meaning.
Cruz says that when someone performs a ritual without understanding the history behind it, he's glorifying ignorance.
Bartholomew Dean, assistant professor of anthropology, uses a more positive word to describe the common urban practice of throwing shoes onto power lines: self-expression. Dean has seen examples for at least 15 years and likens it to "tagging," an artistic outlet in an urban community. Shoe tossers "tag" electric wires with their sneakers
Creativity and eclecticism are common themes of shoe tossing. Most of the shoes are old thrift-store finds, which Brook thinks is fitting because after the utility companies come to apprehend the interfering shoes, they drop them off at a thrift store.

Brook and his friends have tossed the following things, in addition to the normal double sneaker tie: a papier-maché fish and toy truck tied together, cardboard boxes full of empty beer cans, a dildo, roller skates, treacherous ice skates and stillettos strung together with pieces of a soccer net.
Though his shoe-tossing experience runs the gamut, even Brook was taken aback by one international example of a wire dangler. In Mongolia, he came upon a brick — the kind with three holes in the middle — broken in half and thrown across a lone electric wire in the desolate wilderness. It looked out of place and made him wonder. But hey, that's the point, right?

Hellboy
Director Guillermo Del Toro's Hellboy is a slightly above average superhero action film, nothing more, nothing less. Hellboy's characters and plot are taken from the comic of the same name. The movie drags out the same old comic book clichés, super powered Nazis, silly one liners and a supporting cast that would be useless without Hellboy. The main plot consists of Hellboy battling a supergutural creature summoned by the Navi to lure him to his destiny. Of course, the world, including Hellboy's partner (Rupert Evans) and his pyroknetic love interest (Sevina Blair), is in mortal danger. The titular demon is played with panache by Ron Perlman, whose hammy delivery is the high point of the film. Blair carries herself well in the action sequences, but her dialogue is marred by her whining tone. Her character belongs in a teen horror film. Evans' performance neither hurts nor helps the movie. The set pieces are gorgeous and filled with tiny details. The CGI effects are also high quality. There are some scenes where it's nearly impossible to tell the difference between the CGI and the models Hellboy is a well done film, but it isn't a must see unless you're a fan.

Home on the Range
Disney has conquered palaces, jungles and oceans, but its attempt at the Wild West falls short. When the Patch of Heaven farm is threatened to be auctioned off, the cows embark on a mission to make the money to save the farm by catching a cattle roster. However, the two must compete to catch the rustler with a bounty hunter and a horse that aspires to be a hero.
Although the story line and content is appropriate for children, the animation and dialogue are uninteresting. The animals and scenery have a jagged abstract look. Combined with the flat dimension, the movie is visually unappealing. Children will enjoy the recurring animal belching, but the dialogue is blank with the exception of spurs of Maggie the Cow (Roseanne Barr) humor.
The appearance of the cows at a cattle drive does invoke some adult humor in the form of bovine pick up lines.
The original music is the most entertaining aspect of this film. Bonnie Baitt, K D Lang and Tim McGraw contribute to a soundtrack that gives Home on the Range some flow. Otherwise, this petched together Disney movie doesn't stack up to the standard that previous movies such as Finding Nemo have set.

This Kid Is All right
Steven Eubank is a college grad, a director and part owner of his own production company. Not bad for a guy who can't drink legally.
By Mike Bauer, Jayplay writer
A
At 18 months old, when most kids are struggling with two-word sentences, Steven Eubank said "investigate" clear as a bell. When he was 2, he told his parents he wanted to be an actor and deliver pizzas for Pizza Hut when he grew up. In sixth grade, Steven started growing a mustache. By 19, he had graduated college.
Now 20, Eubank has reached his goals faster than most of his peers. He's not acting or delivering pizzas, but he is directing plays, most recently The Rocky Horror Show at Liberty Hall last February.
Steven speaks quickly and precisely for a person his age. He sounds like a professor. He never stops to breathe, yet never misses a word.
Steven describes his experience directing Rocky Horror as weird, especially when it came to casting. In his previous plays he chose people older than him. Steven's casts never knew his age and were shocked to find out that a person much younger than them was directing the play. In Rocky Horror, the cast consisted of people his age for the first time.
Steven has always done well with older people, perhaps because he was teased by his classmates in grade school and would spend recess talking to teachers. When he began college at age 14, no one thought he looked too young to be there. His friends never knew his age until they got to know him better. He says he actually was more social in college than in grade school, often hanging out with his classmates at theater parties.
Steven recalls one of his earliest memories of wanting to be involved in theater. At age 4, he saw Beetlejuice with his parents. After seeing the movie, he would make up new stories with those characters and direct them. When Steven was 8, he was given a role as the Young Fool, a
part normally given to 20-year-olds, in the play Big River at the Starlight Theater in Kansas City.
Steven was 14 years-old when he decided he wanted to direct, but he didn't think a professional production company would give someone his age that opportunity. He suggested his

parents start a production company of their own and let him direct and Eubank Productions was born. Steven is the company's only director and he runs all the auditions himself. Eubank Productions made one play its opening year in 1998 (Ruthless the Musical at Powerhouse Theater in Independence, Mo.). The company increased to five plays in 2003, which was exhausting to Steven.
After breezing through middle school, Steven bypassed high school and went straight to college. He took general requirements at Longview before getting his GED and moving on to Southwest Missouri State at 16. Steven says the reality of graduation has already caused him anxiety. He wants to study theater in graduate school, but has decided to hold off for a few years because of admission age requirements and fears that the schools won't take him seriously.
Until then, Steven will continue to work in theater. He hopes to have another project in the works before summer. Steven is also working with an attorney in hopes of turning Eubank Productions into a professional production company someday. Who knows what else he'll accomplish in the next 20 years, but he knows whatever he does his parents will back him up.
"I keep coming up with absurd, radical ideas and they're 100 percent willing to try it." Steven says.

Madvillain
Madvillainy
1. MAD: Our first protagonist rises from a bomb shelter from somewhere under the murky Californian skies, his reputation for making beats comparable to Betty Crocker's for making a cake. But a Madlib beat is an even bigger trea. There's the perverse Price Is Right jingle of "Raid," steel drums that roll like waves in the West Indies on "Curls" and the jittery tambourine and blurry keys of "Figaro." But lest we forget that this is an ALBUM, Madlib drops interludes and vocal samples at a dizzying pace between every track. This is the glue that makes this piece cohesive.
2. VILLAIN: Our second protagonist cannot be approached with certainty — super emcee MF Doom is a study in ambiguity. However,
from beneath the steel façade was forged a sharp tongue of Big Apple proportions, and Doom doesn't disappoint here. His flow is top notch. Internal rhymes falling over one another to escape his mouth. His life is "like a folklore legend." He may be the "best emcee with no chain you've ever heard." "This was written in cold blood with a toothpick," says Doom on "Great Day." There's no reason not to believe this.
3. CONCLUSION: Just as a PB&J sandwich never disappoints, neither does this pair. Madvillain are coast and coast like Skippy and Smuckers on toast.

The Kleptones
Yoshimi Battles the Hip-Hop Robots
Phil Torpey Host of "Breakfast for Beatlovers" 9 a.m. to Noon, Tuesdays
Beating Jay-Zeezer as the next mix album to turn heads, Brit band The Kleptones has crafted an artful mix of various hip-hop artists over the Flaming Lips' latest effort to produce Yoshimi Battles the Hip-Hop Robots. Currently it's only available as a download from their Website, www.kleptones.com. I won't mince words...this stuff is hot! Some of the most sublime mixes include 50 Cent's "In the Club" over "Fight Test" and Martin Luther King Jr. and Public Enemy over "Are you a Hypnotist?" My personal favorite has to be Pharcyde's "Passing Me By" slung over "Yoshimii Battles the Pink Robots Part 1." I started laughing and cheering after hearing the opening. A few songs sag, suffering from a poor combination of music to ambient and rhymes that just won't fit. Other samples of note include Busta Rhymes, The Streets and a clip from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Those who have listened to The Grey Album will notice that the music mixing on Hip-Hop Robots is much smoother than the splice work done to The Beatles. Some tracks have barely been tweaked at all — most of the work has been done with the vocals, but none seem terribly out of place. If this is the future of music, sign me up.

Outternationalists Ethnomixology
— Marc Ricketts
KJHK DJ
4 p.m to 6 p.m., Wednesdays
One day, Johnny found a small brown box outside his door. The words "Africa, India, Ireland, Latin America, Middle East, South Asia, and more" were stamped all over. The sender listed simply as Ethnomixocology, c/o the Outernationalists. Upon opening the box, he was bombarded with sita:s, drums, horns, flutes and multi-lingual vocals forming a universal, cultural euphoria.
When his friend Tinea stopped by, she also couldn't believe her ears. "I swear this global beat thing has been done before," she cried, "but never with so much intensity and rhythm." Yes, these songs fused rare, traditional cuts perfectly with booming, dance-floor beats.
Suddenly Johnny began to move, first his feet, then his hips, and before long he knew what was happening. "I'm...I'm...DANCING!" he exclaimed. Soon the word was out. Neighborhood kids from all ethnicities came by to shake their groove together as one.

When I wake up in the Morning...
By Cal Creek, Jayplay writer
I get these panic attacks. I'll lie in bed staring at the ceiling just trying to breathe. I'm scared. I'm graduating in May (fingers crossed) and it scares the holy bejesus out of me. I'm
gonna be all grown up.
For the first time in my life, I'm terrified of a transitional period. I've handled all other phases of my life fairly well. When I had to leave grade school (Prairie Elementary) for middle school (Indian Hills), I was the first to embrace the seven classes in a day. When it was time to say bye to Indian Hills and dive into high school (Shawnee Mission East), I dove headfirst, ready to swim. And when I graduated from East, no one could keep me from my funny smelling room in Hash.
So why am I so scared?
Why does this next step leave
For the first time ever there is no Saved By the Bell chapter to show me what my life should look like.
me waking up damp with sweat (I hope it's sweat)? The answer struck me the other night at 4 a.m., when I was channel surfing instead of sleeping.
When I wake up in the morning And the 'larm lets out a warning I don't think I'll ever make it on time By the time I got my books I give myself a look I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus slide by It's all right cause I'm saved by the bell...
For the first time ever, there is no Saved By the Bell chapter to show me what my life should look like. For middle school, there were the JFK Junior High years of the show (you know the seasons that take place in Indiana where Haley Mills plays Zach and Screech's home-room teacher). High school was represented by the Bayside years (The classic episodes — Zach, Screech, Slater, Kelly, Lisa and Jesse...and eventually Torrie). When we all graduated from Bayside, Zach and Screech lead us to college and coed dorms in The College Years. Zach's world represented a perfect life—
a goal that all tweens and teens wanted to achieve. Unfortunately, there is no Saved By the Bell: All Grown Up.The All Grown Up years of my life will have to be unscripted.I'll have to improv something.
When I left Prairie, I was convinced that life at Indian Hills would be wonderfully similar to life at JFK Junior High. I would have cool friends like Zach and nerdy friends like Samuel "Screech" Powers and a charming British home room teacher. The principal would roam from classroom to classroom dropping charming but silly lines.
Imagine my surprise when none of this happened. My principal didn't roam the halls making jokes with everyone, none of my friends were Zach Morris and instead of being charming and British, my homeroom teacher was intimidating and emasculating.
If Indian Hills wasn't JFK Junior High,
then I can G.D. guarantee Shawnee Mission East wasn't Bayside High. I didn't go to high school for five years; some kids from my high school did, but I didn't, and Zach, Screeec, Lisa and Slater all did. And if I had two
friends inexplicably disappear, I didn't replace them with a tough chick with a leather jacket named Torrie. And I never asked a girl to a Michael Bolton concert, and after she declined, asked my best "guy" friend. And I never dated a girl in a wheel chair and then had her break up with me because she couldn't get past the fact that I couldn't get past
the fact that she was in a wheel chair. I never formed a band with a group of friends only to have one of them freak out on caffeine pills singing "I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm...so scared," though I did have a friend freak out on another drug singing Hendrix's "Gypsy Eyes." And I never went to a dance off hosted by Casey Casem, though I have danced "the sprain" before.
There were so many discrepancies between The College Years and my life that I will only point out the biggest one. When I lived in the dorms, I did not have three hot coed suite mates, and my resident assistant was not an exNFL defensive lineman, he was a recovering douche bag, who often relapsed.
My point is that high school was nothing at all like Saved by the Bell. Middle School was nothing like the junior high years. And obviously, college has been so far removed from The College Years that I don't think the creators of that show actually ever attended a university.
But they did create a fantasy world that became a security blanket. Even if I knew my life would never meet the fantasy it still felt safe. Now, I'll have to turn off the television, grow up and deal with it. It's scary, but that's real life.

KUNITED WINS BIG
Steve Munch, Bellevue, Neb., sophomore, was embraced by Arthur Jones, Dallas sophomore, after hearing he had been elected as student body president yesterday evening at KUnited's post-election party at Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St. Jones was elected as one of five off-campus senators.
KUNITED
Group wins presidency majority of Senate seats
By Andy Marso and Neeley J. Spellmeier editor@kansan.com Kansan staff writers
"Steve Munch and Jeff Dunlap have taken..."
taken...
That was all of the KJHK broadcast that could be heard before members of KUnited drowned it out with a wave of cheers.
trowned roadside Champagne sprayed over embracing candidates as Steve Munch, Bellevue, Neb., sophomore and Jeff Dunlap, Leawood junior, were engulfed by a crowd of supporters gathered at Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St.
Many thought that the winners of the Senate seats would be announced before the president and vice president.
the president and that "I wasn't expecting that announcement right then," Munch said. "It's an incredible relief. It's good to know that Jeff and I made it, but we've got to see where the rest of the coalition stands because it's as much about those guys as us."
A few moments later his mind was set at ease as Dunlap got a list of the winning Senate candidates, and the crowd hushed as he read them off.

DELTA FORCE
Strong campaign ends with disappointment
By Dave Nobles
dnobles@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Tears were shed, heads were hung, but laughter and smiles still prevailed at the Delta Force post-election party at 920 Avalon Road.
Expectations were high coming into the night, with Delta Force candidates celebrating what they thought was an unprecedented campaign effort for their coalition.
But shoulders sagged and blue cups in the hands of Delta Force members
dipped when the results came in and the KUnited candidate, Steve Munch, was announced as the winner in the race for the presidency.
"We're disappointed, of course, but it's all right," said B!ake Swenson, Topeka senior and Delta Force presidential candidate. "We worked our asses off, and I'm proud of the group."
In fact, Delta Force candidates seemed more upset about the lack of coverage by KJHK, which went from brief election announcements to sports talk.

Padgett plans transfer

In the most surprising of the off-season departures from the Kansas men's basketball program, freshman forward David Padgett announced yesterday his intention to transfer following the spring semester.

preparations for future.
"I think I'll have more opportunities to be a face-up player and play the four-position at another school," Padgett said. "I want to wish my ex-teammates and the great KU fans all the best, and I hope they have a great season next year."

to the Elite Eight: junior Wayne Simien and sophomore Christian Moody. Padgett's empty spot in next year's starting lineup will need to be filled by either Moody or one of coach Bill Self's two new big men, recruits Darnell Jackson and Sasha Kaun.
Reports already exist on where Padgett will be attending school come September. The most talked-about school is North Carolina. Roy Williams recruited Padgett to Kansas before departing for Chapel Hill, and North Carolina was one of the last schools Padgett turned down before coming to Kansas.
"Obviously we're all disappointed with David's decision," Self said. "Even though we don't agree with it, we're certainly respectful of it. We do wish him well with his future opportunities."
"I think I'll have more opportunities to be a faceup player and play the four-position at another school."

Padgett played in 31 of Kansas' 33 games this season, including 19 starts. He averaged 6.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. Padgett's most memorable moment was his game-winning jumper with two seconds left to defeat Missouri in the final game at the Hearnes Center on March 7.
The three other schools that are believed to be on Padgett's radar are Arizona, Stanford and Nevada. Arizona was a major player in Padgett's original recruitment process, and Nevada is in Padgett's hometown of Reno.

Clinton will speak at Dole Institute
Clinton will speak as part of the Dole Lecture series May 18, said a KU source who declined to be named.
Former President Bill Clinton is coming to the Lied Center, and Bob Dole and his Institute will bring him here.
According to the source, the series has never had a big-budget guest like Clinton, whose bill for speaking at corporate events or fundraisers can reach more than $150,000. Clinton's speaking fee has not been announced yet, but it will be less expensive than his normal rate.
"What's so great about having Senator Dole invite guests," the source said, is that often it's a lot cheaper than it normally would be."
many would be the KU Public Safety Office, along with
Clinton
the Lawrence Police Department and possibly the Kansas Highway Patrol, will work with the Secret Service to ensure proper security during Clinton's visit, said Chief Ralph Oliver of the Safety Office.
The amount of security necessary could vary. Oliver said.
"It will depend on how long he will stay, and where he is going to go in Lawrence." Oliver said.
Clinton's visit will require heightened security, but it will not require the kind of security that was necessary at the institute's dedication last summer, Oliver said.

4 Pakistani citizens convicted in fraudulent-marriage case
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Four Pakistani citizens living in the Kansas City area have been convicted in a marriage fraud case.
A jury in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., on Wednesday found Shabber Ali, 24, Tarq Mahmoud, 34, Zaheer Ul Islam, 30, and Ahmed Bilal Aslam, 37, guilty of one count each of conspiracy to arrange fraudulent marriages. Islam and Aslam also were convicted of one count of marrying to evade immigration laws.
U. S. Attorney Eric Melgren said that testimony during the five-day trial showed that Ali and Mahmood conspired to arrange sham marriages between Pakistani men and American women so that the Pakistani citizens could legally live in the United States. Melgren said the American women were paid.
Ali and Mahmoud each face up to five years in federal prison for conspiracy, Islam and Aslam face up to five years in prison for marriage fraud. Sentencing is set for July 12.

36th Fort Riley solider dies since beginning of Iraq war
FORT RILEY — A sergeant from Texas is the 36th soldier from Fort Riley to die in the Iraq war, Army officials said yesterday.
Sgt. Christopher Ramirez, 34, of McAllen, Texas, died Wednesday in
fighting in the Al Anbar Province near Fallujah, west of Baghdad. He was assigned to Company B, 1st Battalion, 16th Infantry, 1st Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, which has been in Iraq since September.
Ramirez was the first Fort Riley death since five soldiers of the 1st Engineer Battalion were killed on March 31 by a bomb exploding beneath their M113 armored personnel carrier.

Kansas national guard troops may be called to duty in Iraq
TOPEKA — About 1,100 Kansas Army National Guard soldiers from five units have been alerted that they may be mobilized for duty in Iraq.
The units have primarily support and transportation duties and represent the largest single alert of Kansas National Guard soldiers since the start of the Iraq war last year. Alert status puts the units on notice that mobilization orders could be forthcoming later this year as part of a third rotation of soldiers into Iraq.
a third location of security Maj. Gen. Tod Bunting, the state adjutant general, said the alerts don't guarantee mobilization for active duty but give soldiers time to prepare in case they are called.
Bunting said, if mobilized, soldiers could be gone up to 18 months, including a year on the ground in Iraq.
As of Wednesday, nearly 173,000 National Guard and Reserve forces were on active duty, many in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the Pentagon.

Pride Week opens with drag show
Kenya
March, rally will bring light to queer issues
Radio show host and local celebrity drag queen Flo flaunts herself for the crowd during last year's Brown Bag Drag Show. The annual event will be held again in front of the Kansas Union at noon today.
By Marc Ingber
minger@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Taking a cue from the Doobie Brothers, the queer community will be "Taking it to the Streets" this weekend.
This afternoon, Queers and Allies will host its 11th annual Brown Bag Drag Show at the Kansas Union Plaza. The show will be followed with a pride march and rally down Massachusetts Street tomorrow afternoon. Both events are a part of Queens and Allies' Pride Week 2004.
The drag show, which runs from noon to 2 p.m., will be hosted by drag queens Valerie Dolls and Robyn Banks. The show will feature eight to 12 performers, some of them KU students, strutting the stage in drag.
"Dressing up is putting it mildly," Jimmy Manning, Liberal graduate student and co-director of Queers and Allies, said of the show.
The performers will bring their own outfits, many of which they created themselves.
The drag show, which usually draws nearly 1,000 people, is one of the most popular events of Pride Week each year. Manning said.
"It's something everyone can get involved in," he said. "Straight people can totally embrace it and become part of the gay world."
One reason the show draws such a crowd is because it takes place at the Kansas Union in the middle of lunch on a Friday afternoon, said Tyler Watkins, Lawrence resident and event coordinator for Queens and Allies.
watkins said the drag queen subculture was an important part of queer history. Tomorrow's show fits in with the themes of the week by exposing gay culture to the masses, he said.
Another way Queers and Allies is trying to get exposure is with its pride rally and march tomorrow afternoon. Participants will start at 1 p.m. at South Park and walk down Massachusetts Street to Watson Park, where they will hold the rally. About 30 to 50 people are expected to march.
Several speakers will be at the rally including Manning and Sarah Katheryn Burris, Lawrence junior and co-director and outreach chair for Queers and Allies. Queer of the Year and Ally of the Year, who will be named tonight, will also speak.
Burris said she would address same-sex marriages.
"It's not just a gay issue," she said. "It's a human rights issue."
She said she was pleasantly surprised by how many allies participated in the march to show their support in past years.
"It's something everyone can get involved in. Straight people can totally embrace it and become part of the gay world."
Jimmy Manning Co-director of Queers and Allies
"It will make a lot of people do a double-take, if nothing else," said Lucy Ash, Jacksonville, Fla., freshman and co-secretary for Queers and Allies.
She said even if people on Massachusetts Street didn't want to join in, they would at least be more aware of the group's cause.

Wade and three other contestants will be part of the Black Student Union's first Mr. Black Love Competition at 8 p.m. in the Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Wade said he had participated in talent shows and music competitions since 10th grade but he had never been in a male pageant. He said he was honored to participate in tonight's pageant because it was the first for the Black Student Union.
Tonight's competition was organized primarily by freshman members. Rona Remmie, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, coordinated the event. Remmie said she wanted to do a male pageant because it was something a lot of people hadn't seen on campus before.

"It's not every day you get the chance to show your talents," Wade said. "I'm taking it seriously but not too seriously."
"I wanted to honor a male from campus because they aren't as honored as much as they should be," Remmie said. "And I wanted to bring in a whole different crowd and to intrigue people to come back next year."
C'Nea Hatches, Valparaiso,
Ind., junior, said she was going to
the pageant because it was something new and because pageants were typically for women.
"I think people want to see what it's about, to see what the guys will do to win the competition." Hatches said.
The pageant will begin with an introduction of the contestants,

who will be dressed in casual wear. The talent portion is next, followed by the question-and-answer session with the contestants in formal wear.
Remmie said only one question would be asked, but it would challenge the men.
"The question was designed to keep contestants on their toes," Remmie said. "It will tie everything together, and they'll have to show the judges why they're doing what they're doing."
Two faculty members and two students will judge the competition. Remmie said she didn't want to name them because she wanted to surprise the audience and competitors.
"I wanted my judges to be a diverse group and I wanted them to be all female," she said.
The winner of the competition will receive the title of the first Mr. Black Love, a crown and gold cup. Every contestant will also get in free to the Black Student Union party, which begins after the pageant.
Wade said he didn't know what his chances for winning were.
"But I wouldn't mind going for it again if I didn't win," he said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Delta Force not anti-greek
Yesterday morning many greeks were rudely confronted with a fear-mongering piece of dirty-tricks campaign literature slipped under their doors in the middle of the night. The intent was to disparage Delta Force and, no doubt, ensure the ascendance of KUnited.
MUSIC OF MY MIND
This was a cynical and shameless gambit by cowards insulting the intelligence of greek student voters, while attempting to sow confusion and distrust. Shameful.
The flier lies and insinuates that Delta Force is somehow part of some anti-greek conspiracy. The hell it is. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Jason Fizell KU unclassified staff CLAS '98
I will not repeat the baseless claims, several made against me personally. However, I will say that the first Delta Force coalition was 18 percent greek, or almost exactly proportional to the makeup of campus. Not only that, I was housemates with the immediate past president of the Tri Delt house and two Pi Phis at the time! All students should stand up for integrity and honesty and support Delta Force for a change in the politics as well as the University.

"You see the streets have me stressed somethin' terrible..."— Nas "One Love" from 1994's illmatic
COMMENTARY
Cornelius Minor opinion@kansan.com
Last month Sony reissued Nas' groundbreaking 1994 CD, Illmatic. Hailed as an instant classic, Nas' CD was perhaps the last in a decade-long period of album releases that marked one of hip-hop's most innovative and expansive periods to date.
In Ilmatic, music enthusiasts found everything that hip-hop's golden era of productivity represented. The album introduced the world to a Nas who possessed a literary quality that was sensitive, observant and creative. The verbal images that he painted with his imaginative pen rivaled, and at times matched, the beauty and stark reality that artists such as Aaron Douglas and Jacob Lawrence painted with their brushes.
Many of the folks who are currently
For many, the fallacies that we have allowed people to sell in our name have come to represent what it means to be young in America. As I have traveled, I've
I can still remember the excitement of the day when Illmatic was released. Though hip-hop had been around since the late '70s, with new artists such as Nas emerging as the standard, fans in the early '90s felt as if they had an expressive eternity ahead of them. In '94, had someone asked what hip-hop would look like today, I don't think that anyone could have predicted the state in which we find ourselves in 2004.
Hip-hop is not the complex art form that all the scholars want to make it. It is the act of establishing commonalities.
found that one's authenticity as an American finds itself under close scrutiny if it cannot be readily traced to MTV or BET.
In the face of our current situation, many find themselves wishing for the days that were. Critics, fans and artists alike gaze back to the good ol' days: 1985, 1987, 1992, 1994.
1930, 1937. What often goes unsaid as we reminisce is the understanding that for many folks in America, the late '80s and early '90s weren't as good as we would like to remember them. When Illmatic dropped in '94, our generation was getting its first taste of some of the problems associated with drugs and AIDS.
If we desire what used to be, what does that say about what is?
Ralph Ellison, one of the America's most celebrated writers, resisted defining the blues, the expression of his day, in musical terms. He described them more broadly as "an impulse." This impulse existed and functioned with but one purpose: "to keep the painful details and episodes of brutal experience alive in one's aching consciousness, to finger its jagged grain, and to transcend it."
So it is with hip-hop, but most importantly so it is with us.
Like Ellison suggests, to be the blues, to be the hip-hop or rock, to be the human beings that we are called to be,
requires us to know and to face the painful experiences that have occurred and are ongoing in our lifetimes. Even if particular issues do not affect us directly, to live up to our potential as those who are to inherit this country requires us to recognize that to be hip-hop, or wherever we say we are, is more than just attending a concert, buying a CD, getting a degree or securing a job. It is recognizing that our interests, be they artistic, academic, vocational, cultural or political, are just meeting places — places where we can share stories of difficulty and triumph.
Our interests allow us to touch the jagged grain of reality, to know its feeling and, in knowing, to do the work of transcending those realities.
scending those recesses
Hip-hop is not the complex art form that all the scholars want to make it. It is the act of establishing commonalities — many of which are based on our own painful observances — and using those commonalities as a platform upon which to gather support and exchange ideas.
Hip-hop isn't going to change the world. It brought many of us together so that we can do that for ourselves.

Gamer generation need not feel shame
COMMENTARY
My friend knocks on the door, and I scramble to cover my tracks before opening the door. I quickly turn off the television set, sit back down, and try to look natural. Don't get the wrong idea; I wasn't watching Real World or even Girls Gone Wild. Instead, I was indulging in what I thought was my only guilty pleasure: playing video games.
ALEXANDER BLAKE
But I shouldn't be embarrassed to be caught with my controller in my hand. Video games aren't a guilty pleasure anymore.
Zack Hemenway opinion@hansan.com
The one system and three games I own are a minuscule sliver of the $13 billion pie of revenues the video-game industry earned last year. This number, which increases every year, is proof that videogame playing is becoming more and more acceptable as boys and girls who grew up playing games cash their first paychecks.
paychecks.
We're the gamer generation, raised on Mario and Luigi instead of Kermit and Big Bird. And each year we grow closer to adulthood, the stigma associated with video games, the notion that they are juvenile activities, fades a little more. According to a study released by the Entertainment Software Association, the average age of video-game players
rises each year, and is up to 29, with males 18 and over making up the largest demographic of gamers.
But this image is starting to change. High school and college students hold impromptu tournaments in sports and multi-player games, and new technologies allow friends to face-off online. Just last weekend, my three roommates spent a Saturday watching one another play an Xbox game. All of this proves that like kegs, dim lighting and traumatic experiences, video games bring people
demographic of gamers. Part of the bias against game-playing comes from the stereotype people have of video gamers, seeing them as loners cooped up in dark rooms with pixilated images serving as friends, pressing pause only to order pizza or hit up an Internet chat room.
together.
But this safety in numbers theory might not be enough to change someone's view of video games. He or she could need scientific evidence. Enter researchers Shawn Green and Daphne Bavelier from our great nation's National Institutes of Health. Green and Bavelier discovered that playing video games is good for you.
They tested groups of avid gamers against casual and non-gaming groups on several visual skills. They found that "video game playing enhances the capacity of visual attention and its spatial distribution," which I think means that people who play Grand Theft Auto five hours a day see things more clearly than I do.
I know what you're saying. Sure, visual skills could improve, but gamers aren't exactly brain surgeons. Well, maybe not, but they could be operating on the rest of your body. A study at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York showed that surgeons who spent at least three hours a week playing video games made 37 percent fewer errors in laparoscopic surgery, which is used to combat anything from gastric bypass surgery to appendectomies. The author of the study, James Rosser, said he used the
same coordination in video games that he did in the operating room, which makes the surgery channel seem a lot more interesting.
EA Sports, one of the top makers of sports video games, uses my Xbox's memory feature to keep close track of my game-playing. My "player bio" informs me that I've devoted a little more than 10 full days of my life to Tiger Woods Golf and other sports games. I was shocked to find out this information. It feels like at least 30 to 40 days.
I used to be ashamed of this total. I saw it as a running estimate of wasted time, a monument to my lack of productive free-time activity. But now I see just how productive I've been, and that I will have to find a new guilty pleasure.
Next time I hear that knock on the door, I'll beckon my friend in. And when he or she asks what I've been doing for the past few hours, I'll just say, "I've been enhancing the capacity of my visual attention and its spatial distribution. What did you think I was doing, just playing video games?"

Hashies to come home for reunion
By Dave Nobles
nobles@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Past residents of Hashinger Hall will have the opportunity to get in touch with their college roots starting today.
Hashies Come Home is a week of art-related events that starts today and ends Saturday, April 24.
The celebration is in conjunction with Spring Arts Week, a yearly event at the residence hall.
Organizers wanted to try something different the year, said Stephen Moles, Lawrence sophomore, and one of the organizers of the event.
"We thought it would be a cool idea to do something for the alumni," Moles said. "We decided to make the event big and fun to get everyone involved."
Although the activities are geared toward past and present residents, all events are open to everyone, Moles said.
Moles is also directing the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which will have four performances during the week.
The musical, which was turned into a motion picture in 1999, is about a man in communist Berlin who transforms himself into a woman to escape to America.

"It's kind of known as a modern day Rocky Horror," Moles said. "A little bit less crazy, though."
through.
All showings of the play are free and open to the public, but a $2 donation is suggested.
The largest event of the week is tomorrow's Welcome Barbeque and Concert.
Organizers expect more than 300 people to attend the barbeque, which is scheduled to take place on the hill behind Hashinger Hall.
In addition to the events scheduled for the Hashies Come Home celebration, "Trashy Hashie" calendars will be sold for $5.
Kirby Mullenberg, Lodge Grass, Mont., sophomore and Hashinger resident adviser, said the calendars feature current Hashinger residents and showcase the diversity of the residence hall.
"It's a really open community," Mullenberg said. "We're just proud of the people we have here."

Speech debates conservation politics Pulitzer Prize winner Wilson evaluates 'The Future of Life' on Earth
JOHN S. FERRARI
Eric Braem/Kansan
Edward O. Wilson, controversial environmentalist, biologist and entomologist gave a presentation on The Future of Life last night at the Lied Center as part of the Humanities Lecture Series. He said there was a microscopic world at our feet about which we knew nothing, but our whole lives depended on.
By Jesse Truesdale
jtruesdale@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Edward O. Wilson spoke yesterday night at a nearly-packed Lied Center, where people began lining up more than 30 minutes before doors opened to see the noted environmentalist, biologist and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner.
His lecture, named for his most recent book, The Future of Life, focused on the wonder of the Earth's myriad forms of life, how they are disappearing at an accelerating rate, and what can be done to slow that destruction.
The gravity of the Harvard professor emeritus' speech was lightened when he joked that he only knew "Harvard technology," after the first of several slides in his presentation didn't show.
wilson proposed that a combination of non-governmental organizations and governments could prevent the habitat destruction of 25 hot spots around the world — where 70 percent of the world's species reside — by outcompeting lumber companies and buying land rights for mere dollars per acre.
Wilson then took questions, including one young man who questioned the basic premises of Wilson's argument for conservation policies. The audience erupted with applause when Wilson described the man's question as "a farrago of erroneous statements and non sequitur," and the refusal to take global warming seriously as the position of "Rush Limbaugh and the petroleum industry."
E. O. Wilson sat down for an
interview the afternoon before his lecture yesterday.
Q: What can Americans do to help the environment in their daily lives?
A: One of the things that you don't hear often enough is that they should urge their religious leaders to take into account the destruction of the Creation [the Earth] because it's a major ethical issue, and it's something that should be logically part of the ministry in my opinion, raised as a Southern Baptist not completely outside the system. If we could get religious leaders involved in this issue—and you know it's made to order for theology and moral reasoning—that could have an enormous impact.
Q: Did you like Wesley Clark's idea put forth in his presidential campaign of a Great Society-type federal program to spur investment in renewable energy research and industry?
A: There are a lot of ways the government can help jump start this. We should also tie that into our need for energy independence from the Middle East. Those are the kind of things people can really get interested in — the engagement of religion in conserving the Creation and the desire to keep the quality of life that the natural environment provides, and on the other side promoting and developing new energy sources, especially alternative and sustainable energy sources. We know what they are; we know how to make them. The hydrogen economy is coming.
Q: Do you take seriously Bush's
stated support for the development of hydrogen fuel cell technology?
energy.
A: Well, I believe Bush has probably paid tribute to it, but the Bush administration has largely failed in helping free this country from petroleum and Mideastern energy sources.
A: Clinton did not show major leadership in this area either. We need a Kennedy-esque call for a moon-shot; that is, energy independence in 10 years. That's what we need to do, have from the top a policy and a national goal that will inspire people and that everyone can agree on. I mean, we agreed on an immense expenditure to put a man on the moon. Surely we can agree on a comparable expenditure to get that kind of independence. Just what we put into Iraq would be enough to get things started in a very serious way.
Q: Did you think much of the Clinton environmental track record?
O: What did you think of Bush's Mars plan?
Mars plan.
A: That's a terrible idea. There's just nothing to recommend it. I'm all for exploring Mars, but doing it the way we're doing it now, with ever-more sophisticated robots. It's gotten so good that even for the average person you can almost experience through those images the equivalent of what it would be like if an astronaut were there taking pictures. I don't think we need the emotional shot in the arm that would give us. We need sensible investment in scientific and technological initiatives.
Environns host Earth Day event
Group will march to raise environmental awareness in Kansas

Downtown Lawrence will host the fourth annual Parade for Earth tomorrow.
Edited by Cindy Yeo
This year, KU Environs have found a way to add entertainment to the festival and still educate people about the environment.
Students are encouraged to participate in tomorrow's parade by dressing in a earth-themed costume.
The parade will assemble at Watson Park, at the corner of Seventh and Tennessee streets, and travel south on Massachusetts Street to South Park, where games, vendors and live music will come together and transform the park into a celebration of our planet.
Don't expect to see tomorrow's parade filled with Hummers and other sport utility vehicles tomorrow.
Instead, look forward to conservationists riding bikes and driving hybrid cars. The KU Environs will even show off its vehicle that runs on cooking oil.
"It's been done before," said Nathan Bokay, "but it's just another way to look at conserving energy."
energy. The Lawrence senior and the rest of the KU Environs have been working with the city on tomorrow's festival since the beginning of the semester, which is all in preparation for their big event Thursday: Earth Day.
Educating the public was the main goal for the Environs this year, and it has developed a multi- angled approach to informing Lawrence how to be environmentally aware.
Children are expected to be there tomorrow and the Environs are ready for them.
Children can either get their face painted by the students or participate in the group's long jump contest, where they can measure up against opponents such as a flea, which can jump 20 feet.
Adults also can gain from the festival because Environs has spent the past three-and-a-half months researching different companies and products available in the town.
Tomorrow, the group will be handing out its consumer-purchasing guide that contains facts on how environmentally friendly the companies and products are.
"There a lot of things advocacy groups tell you what to avoid and not what you should buy," said Joe Morgan, Goodland junior and co-president of Enirons.
Environs was responsible for providing the music for this year's festival, booking local singer and

In celebration of the water theme, Bowerstock Mill & Power Company, located behind City Hall, will open its doors for tours tomorrow afternoon. It's the only hydroelectric plant in the state.
As for the big event Thursday, Environs attracted artist and activist Eric Drooker.
Drooker is an award-winning artist who's been featured in the New Yorker and the Village Voice. Drooker will present a slide show of his art, while also playing his harmonica.
"It's middle ground between lecture and entertainment," Morgan said.
Environs have been in contact with Drooker since late October and have raised the $2,500 it cost to bring Drooker to the University of Kansas with the help of Student Senate, Coca-Cola, and the Association of University Residence Halls.

Math teacher closer in age to students than teachers
By Samia Khan
skhan@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
When Noah Laible began teaching math classes at the University of Kansas, most of his students were only one or two years younger than him.
The student from Overland Park is a few credits away from being a senior, considering his 2002 high-school-graduation date, he should only be a college sophomore.
This year Laible began teaching Math 101, a college algebra class of 26 students. Laible is one of the younger students teaching KU math classes. He said most of the other math teachers are juniors, seniors or graduate students.
Laible said he hasn't had any problems gaining respect from his class full of college students who are almost the same ages as him. He actually gets uncomfortable if students call him "Mr. Laible."
"The more you can convince them that you're a math dork, the funnier they think you are."
Ire said the hardest problem was keeping students motivated. Laibie is more concerned with making sure the students stay interested and understand the material than getting their

respect. He tries to use pictures, graphics and his own enthusiasm to excite his students.
"The more you can convince them that you're a math dork, the funnier they think you are," he said. "I don't know, maybe they just consider me lame."
Laible began taking classes full-time at the University his senior year in high school, commuting and working at his father's bottle-cap factory during the first semester. He relocated his second semester. Laible was a college student living in his own apartment before he graduated high school.
Standing up and talking in front of a group of strangers on the first day of class was the hardest part for Laible, who considers himself shy. His mother, Bev Laible, said he gains respect by dedicating himself to helping his students succeed. She said she has met acquaintances in the supermarket that said their son or daughter was in Laible's class and could always count on him staying late to help them.
Noah Laible, Overland Park junior, taught a math class in Strong Hall yesterday. Laible has been at the University of Kansas for two years and teaches students only a year or two younger than him.
David Hickey has been friends with Laible for the six years. The Overland Park sophomore said most of Laible's best friends in high school were older, making the early transition was easier for him. Hickey knew Laible as one of the smartest students in their high school class and talented in communicating his math skills.

Hickey said it was strange knowing Laible was a college and high school student.

"He was sort of still in high school, but he just never came," Hickey said.
The classes Laible took counted toward his high school diploma. He graduated with his high school class in 2002, but it was more of a formality because he was already a college student.
By the time most of his high school classmates were freshmen in college, Laible was already enrolled in 500-level math classes. His mother said since the sixth grade, he was two years
ahead of his grade in math and a year ahead of the honors math classes. Starting college early was never a hard decision because he was always ready for a new challenge, she said.
Laible was used to starting
early. He remembered when he was in kindergarten and his parents did flashcards and quiz games with him at the dinner table.
Laiable likes math because there are set paths to follow in
solving problems. He enjoys helping others make sense of those paths. He said he loves showing his students that math is not just numbers and symbols.

University programs help seniors with late job searches

The graduation countdown is on. With only four weeks left until the event, some students are in a rush to prepare for life after college.
Mary Andrade Carlson, assistant director of University Career Services, said this time of year was tough for students who hadn't started looking for jobs yet.
"Those who have prepared well are getting results," Andrade Carlson said, "but for those who haven't it's not too late."
That's because they don't have to do it alone. The University of Kansas offers several programs to help those who haven't started their preparations.
Since March University Career Services has offered "Backpacks to Briefcases" workshops geared toward students preparing to graduate. Topics covered include diversity, resume preparation and
"Those who have prepared well are getting results, but for those who haven't it's not too late."

etiquette.
Wednesday's etiquette dinner attracted 82 students to the Kansas Union to learn eating and conversation tips.
Beth Peer, graduate intern for University Career Services, said seniors needed this kind of information before they graduated.
"The more professional knowledge they receive now, the better prepared they will be." Peer said.
David Gaston, director of University Career Services, said today's graduates don't have the same number of job offers students once had.
"There are things you could do in the past that aren't available now." Gaston said. "People looking for careers in computer science in 1999 don't have those same options now."
Students have to be more open minded about their job searches, Gaston said.
Students who are behind in job searching should schedule an appointment with University Career Services now, Gaston said.
"It's better late than never," he said.
Students who miss out on on-campus job fairs and services will have to do more of the work on their own, he said.
The next "Backpacks to Briefcases" event is called "Better Late than Jobless." The workshop was held yesterday and will be held again on Wednesday from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. in room 149 at the Burge Union.

Dems headed to Atchison
By Patrick Cady pcady@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Groups to network, discuss future of party at conference
Young Democrats from throughout the state of Kansas will head to Atchison this weekend for the 2004 Kansas Young Democrats State Convention.
Seven members of KU's Young Democrats will make the trip to discuss the political issues and connect with like-minded people from throughout the state.
"It's kind of a social networking experience for people to meet Democratic activists through out Kansas," said Tom Keating, Marysville junior and president of the KU Young Democrats.
At the conference, Young Democrats will elect new statewide party officials and help outline the issues facing the party.
They will also take part in a march for Congressional candidate Nancy Boyda, who is running against Jim Ryun (R-Kan.) for a seat
in the U.S. House of Representatives for the second district.
The Kansas Young Democrat Party acts as a go-between for university Young Democrat parties and the official state party.
"It's a Democratic organization, so it's the goal of a lot of people to see it operate democratically." Keating said.
Bryan Behgam, Dallas junior, will be going to the conference for the first time. He said he thought the conference was especially important this year.
"Basically, 2004 is a big year for us," Behgam said. "I just want to be sure we talk about the right things and that we have something to contribute when the election comes around."
Some platforms might range from gay marriage and Congress elections to other issues in the media, said Madelaine Marchin, Manhattan senior, who is going to Atchinson.
There's waning support for the

"I think this one will be more important than the last ones because it's a rebuilding year," Marchin said.

KUNITED: Study-abroad referendum fails
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Seat after seat went to KUnited, each announcement bringing a round of cheers. In all, KUnited won 48 of the 59 Senate seats filled, or 81 percent.
Jon Cornish, New Westminster,
British Columbia, Canada, sophomore,
won a freshman/sophomore CLAS seat. He said he was just living the moment, but it didn't take long for him to come up with a
goal for next year.
governer hootily, "I'm going to try and get a seat for the Towers, get that passed," Cornish said.
Several KUINED candidates praised Munch and Dunlap for their charisma and work ethic.
"This guy's the reason I've been in this," Ryan Faulconer, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior, sald, putting his arm around Dunlap. "I've known him since I was a freshman and I really believe in him."
Faulconer served as the Finance Committee chairman this year and won a seat as a junior/senior CLAS senator for next year.
Dunlap gave credit to the KUined candidates for their work and said he wished they could have had their announcements sooner.
"We've got to figure out something for next year about how to better announce the results," Dunlap said.
After a slew of candidates embraced Munch and messed up his champagne-soaked hair, he sought out his sister, Katy, Bellevue, Neb., senior, in the crowd.
The two hugged tightly, the tears on Katy's face mingling with the champagne dripping down Steve's face, which was sunburned from days of campaigning outside.
Andy Knopp, student body president, ran with KUnited last year and said Munch and Dunnlap campaigned with passion and vision.
"I was amazed by their energy and I'm really proud of them," Knop said.
A referendum that Knopp co-wrote failed by a narrow vote of 51 percent to 49 percent. It would have started a $4 per semester student fee for study abroad scholarships
Ashlee Reid, junior/senior CLAS senator, was another of the referendum's co-writers. She and Knopp both said they were disappointed it failed, but were glad students got to vote on it.
"Most referendums pass by overwhelming percentages, but I'm definitely happy that students are reading them and not just putting yes," Reid said.
The two other referendums on the ballot passed by wide margins. One will allow students to vote online from any computer next year and the other will add $1 per semester to the campus environmental fee.

DELTA FORCE: Group looks toward future
CONTINUED FROM 1A
"I guess it shows how important Student Senate is to the rest of the body when they don't even play it," said Stephanie Craig, Edmond, Okla., sophomore. "This is all we've done for the past five months."
When the initial disappointment wore off, Delta Force coali
tion members looked toward the future of their group and the strides it made in this year's election push, focusing on the bright spots of an otherwise unfortunate night.
Anna Gregory, Topeka senior, said she felt this year was a breakthrough year for the coalition.
"The valley was last year," Gregory said. "We're heading up the
hill."
Brian Thomas, Plano, Texas, senior, said that it was the little victories that were most important, rather than the presidential nod.
"If we're going to get people in, I'd rather get the dozen that are going to do something than the 50 who aren't," Thomas said. "We've learned after eight years to take
"It's the most impressive campaign I've seen in four years," Longpine said. "It's a machine; you can't beat it."
As the party wound down,
members of the coalition huddled
pride in the little victories."
Tyler Longpine, Hays junior, said that despite the loss, Delta Force coalition members were quick to compliment KUNited on a successful campaign.
and exchanged their thoughts on the election.
Kristan Seibel, Hays junior, said one of the main reasons she stayed as a member of Delta Force was the strong freshman presence in the coalition.
They joined arms in a group hug while reflecting on the year that was and looking ahead to the years to come.
"I was one of the biggest cynics.
but the potential of our freshman, their energy and vibrancy kept me going." Seibel said. "We believe we can change things."
Although disappointed, David Barrett, Carbondale, III., junior, agreed.
"There's a lot of potential still out there," Barrett said. "Plus, we still throw the best parties."

FBI issuing more surveillance warrants
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The number of secret surveillance warrants sought by the FBI has increased 85 percent in the past three years, a pace that has outstripped the Justice Department's ability to quickly process them.
Even after warrants are approved, the FBI often does not have enough agents or other personnel with the expertise to conduct the surveillance. The FBI still is trying to build a key group of translators who can understand conversations that are intercepted in such languages as Arabic, Pashto and Farsi.
These findings are among those of investigators for the commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks, which has harshly criticized the intelligence-gathering efforts of the CIA and FBI.
FBI and Justice Department officials said Thursday they are working to address all three issues, which limit the government's ability to gather the kind of
intelligence needed to head off another catastrophic terrorist attack.
The warrants, authorized by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, allow for wiretaps, video surveillance, property searches and other spying on people believed to be terrorists or spies.
After the 2001 Patriot Act and a key 2002 court decision crumbled the legal wall separating the FBI's criminal and intelligence investigations, use of FISA warrants has soared as sharing of information has become easier.
Since 2001, the number of warrants has risen from 934 to more than 1,700 in 2003, according to the FBL. The FBI adopted streamlined requests to move the warrant requests quickly from the field offices to headquarters after Sept. 11.
Attorney General John Ashcroft is issuing new guidelines for the Justice Department's Office of Intelligence Policy and
Review, which handles FISA requests, spokesman Mark Corallo said. The changes are aimed at reducing and preventing backlogs, he said.
The inability to gather enough evidence for a FISA warrant caused the FBI problems in the case of Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person charged in connection with the Sept. 11 attacks. The FBI turned to the CIA to help produce evidence needed to show that Moussaoui might be connected to a foreign terrorist group, which would enable agents to get a FISA warrant to search Moussaoui's computer. That led to an Aug. 23-24 briefing memo to CIA Director George Tenet headlined "Islamic Extremist Learns to Fly," but nothing was done before the 19 hijackers completed the Sept. 11 plot that took nearly 3,000 lives.
The commission said it is possible that if the government had acted more quickly on the information involving Moussaoui it could have led authorities to the hijackers.
Some lawmakers and privacy activists worry that FISA remains ripe for g.house. Legislation introduced on Capitol Hill would require the Justice Department to publicly account for the number of Americans subjected to FISA surveillance and how often it is used in criminal cases.
"What it will do is go a long way toward assuaging growing public mistrust of the government," said Timothy Edgar, legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union.
Even if the FISA delays are solved, the FBI is struggling to provide the surveillance experts necessary to carry out the warrants. The commission staff found shortages at every FBI field office they visited and noted that some of these personnel "are not treated as part of an integrated intelligence program" and do not meet regularly with case agents working terrorism suspects.
Unemployment claims increase
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — New claims for unemployment benefits increased last week by 30,000, the biggest jump in 16 months. Still, analysts said yesterday they believed the labor market has turned a corner, pointing the way to a sustainable economic recovery.
The Labor Department reported that there were 360,000 newly unemployed workers filing for jobless benefits last week. A week earlier the number was 330,000 — the lowest in more than three years.
The increase was far above the 7,000 rise in new claims that analysts had expected. It was the largest one-week gain since December 2002, when the country was struggling to rebound from the 2001 recession.
Analysts pointed to a number of factors that skewed last week's number. For one, it was the first
week in a new quarter - a time when claims often temporarily surge.
The four-week moving average for claims, which smooths out some of the volatility, rose a smaller 6,750 to stand at 344,250 still below 350,000—a level generally seen as denoting an improving job market.
Also seen as encouraging was the decline of continuing claims by 22,000, to 2.98 million last week. That was the lowest since July 2001 and an indication that unemployed workers are having more luck getting work.
Wall Street had a lackluster session yesterday as investors continued to worry that stronger economic growth and higher inflation will lead the Federal Reserve to start raising interest rates sooner than expected. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 19.51 points at 10,397.46.

By Jesse Newell

Kansan sportswriter
Sophomore forward Tamara Ransburg will not return to the Kansas women's basketball team next season, deciding this week to transfer to Old Dominion.
According to The Kansas City Star, Ransburg, who averaged 10.3 points and 7.1 rebounds for the Jayhawks last season, committed to Old Dominion coach Wendy Larry during a trip to Norfolk, Va., last week. The 6-4 forward then told new Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson of her intentions this week.

"I hate Padgett. I always thought he brought the team down," he said.
Even though he thought Padgett was a good player, Rodenbeek said Jeff Graves didn't deserve to be replaced during his senior year.

"I hope he does good wherever he goes, but it's sad to see him go." Cole

She stood atop that platform yesterday afternoon following her victory in the women's unseeded 800-meter run, an indication that things were looking up during the Jayhawks' first day of the Kansas Relays at the Memorial Stadium track.
Kim Clark, Elkhorn, Neb., junior, won the event with a time of 2-minutes, 11.3 seconds, more than six seconds faster than second place Megan Manthe, Anoka, Minn., junior.

The only field event of the day was the hammer throw. The men's side was dominated by Nick Welihozkily.
His best throw, 64.25 meters, was almost eight meters farther than the second place contestant's.
The women's hammer throw winner was Delisa McClain of Oklahoma State.
Her best throw was 54.41 meters.
The longest event of the Relays, the 10,000-meter run, was taken on the women's side by Kris Woolf of
Southeast Missouri State at 39:8.67.
She finished fourth in last year's relays.
On the men's side, the victory went to David Cheromei of Butler County. He said afterward that he ran well, but added that "the race was not so competitive."
The night ended with the women's and men's open 5K run.
Marla Rhoden finished ahead of the 16 other women to win the event.
The event was an opportunity for everyone to run the track and be a participant in the Relays.

The race was won by Pat Melgares in a time of 16:00.99.

Football team to work out kinks in scrimmage
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com

In last season's spring scrimmage, the offense dominated behind quarterback Bill Whittimore.
Whittemore, scrambling out of the pocket despite suffering a knee injury months later, completed a high percentage of his passes and moved the offense at will.
often is what "Bill looks real sharp." Mangino said last spring. "He has a chance to be one of the best quarterbacks in the nation."
In this year's edition of the spring scrimmage on Sunday, the Jayhawks will try to find a replacement for their record-setting signal caller.
record-setting eight. The leading candidates at this point are Adam Barmann, sophomore, and Jason Swanson, junior, and through spring practice, Mark Margino, Kansas football coach, said Barmann had a slight lead.
Barmann said there was no tension between the two quarterbacks.
"I'm looking forward to the competition, and I know he's looking forward to the competition," Barmann said. "We're friends, I see him all the time, there's no animosity between us."
Regardless of who starts off the scrimmage, both quarterbacks will be tested. While most colleges that hold their spring practices hold actual scrimmages, Mangino's version of spring ball involves putting the offense and defense in different situations. Sometimes the offense will start near the goal line, other times it will have third down and eight yards to go from the opposite 20 yard line. At almost no point is it a straight scrimmage.
It puts a strain on both the offense and the defense and keeps both involved in different game situations. While the quarterback matchup will be one of the more interesting storylines, another will be to watch and see which side of the ball Charles Gordon
sophomore, will play. He has spent time at both defensive back and wide receiver in the spring, and could play either or both in the spring game.
If the format stays the same as last season, the team will start out with special teams work and move into offense against defense in varied situations.
against defense in winter.
The defense will have a different look than it did last season with several new starters. John McCoy, senior, a situational pass rusher last season is making the transition to full time defensive end opposite last season's starter David McMillan, senior. A healthy Travis Watkins, senior, and Chris Brandt, freshman, will likely be the two starting defensive tackles. Kevin Kane, junior, will probably get Gabe Toomey's, junior, reps at starting middle linebacker because Toomey has been banged up all spring. Nick Reid, junior, and Banks Floodman, junior, are the two starting

manning in running for Kansas coaching spot
LAWRENCE — Danny Manning, the former two-time All-American who led Kansas to its last NCAA championship, may be moving up on coach Bill Self's staff.
self said yesterday that Manning was a possibility to fill the staff vacancy created when associate coach Norm Roberts was named coach this week at St. John's.
Manning returned to Kansas as Self's director of student-athlete development and team manager last year after completing a 15-season NBA career.
A 6-foot-10 scorer, rebounder and ball-handler, he and his teammates were known as "Danny and the Miracles" in 1988 when they beat favored Oklahoma in the NCAA title game at Kansas City's Kemper Arena. He remains one of the favorite Jayhawks of all time.
"Is Danny a possibility? You bet," Self said yesterday. "But it's also got to be a good fit for his family."
Manning, who declined interview requests, would probably move up in the staff along with everyone else.
Roberts, who had been with Self at Oral Roberts, Tulsa and Illinois, had the key job of recruiting coordinator.
"I've got a couple of guys in mind," Self said. "It depends now on what Danny wants to do. We're not even going to begin to address this until after recruiting is over. We'll probably have something by the middle of May."
Self said Manning might also decide to stay put.
He's sought to maintain a low profile with fans and media since leaving professional basketball.
"Danny can also remain in a similar capacity," Self said. "He'll be great at whatever he chooses to do.
Right now we're feeling it out."

Chicago closes 3-game series with victory over Kansas City
CHICAGO — With one swing, Maggilio Ordonez helped the Chicago White Sox sweep a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals.
against the Kansas City Chiefs, Ordonez homered on an 0-2 slider from D.J. Carrasco with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning, giving the White Sox a 6-5 win yesterday.
"I was looking to get a pitch to hit
out of the park," Ordonez said after his fourth homer of the year. "I made contact and I put a good swing on it."
Did he ever. The ball sailed deep into the left-field bleachers and gave the White Sox their third straight win over the Royals — and second straight in their final at-bat.
In both games the White Sox blew three-run leads before pulling out the win. On Wednesday, Chicago won 10-9 on Joe Crede's bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth. This time, Chicago blew a 5-2 lead before winning.
"I tell you what, thank God we don't have to play these guys for a little while," White Sox first-year manager Ozzie Guillen said. "They battle back."

Senior Ryan Knippschild will likely get the nod in tonight's series opener. Knippschild is 0-3 in conference play so far with an ERA of 5.68.

"I believe it's going to be good for us, we'll get a chance to get away from school and get away from the distractions from playing at home," Price said.

History of Relays tied to Olympics
There was Jim Ryun's pre-Olympic run back in 1972.
Or maybe it was 1945, when Wes Santee ran the second-fastest mile time in American history.
Of course, there was 1983, when a Soviet team came amid Cold War hostilities. The big question at this weekend's Kansas Relays is, "What's your favorite memory?"
The event is rich in history, especially in Olympic years like this one, when the world's best come to test themselves before the Games.
That first happened in 1924, when pole vaulter Tom Poor won at the second annual Relays, then took fourth at the Paris Olympics.
In 2001 it was Kansas City native Maurice Greene taking gold in the 100-meter dash here and then in Sydney. This year, the tournament will have the man who has the fastest 200 in the world. Not only
This man is Leo Bookman, who has also won the last three NCAA Championships (two indoor. one outdoor).
He redshirted this spring to prepare for the Olympic qualifying tournament, which is in July.
that, he's a Kansas Jayhawk.
Keep in mind that while six of the top ten sprinters in the world are American, there will only be room for three on the team.
Fans will not get to see Bookman run his signature event at the Relays, but rather in the 100 and the 400.
Coach Stanley Redwine explains that by running the longer race, Bookman will build stamina and strength for when he runs the 200 in the qualifying tournament. From there he hopes to add his name to the other Relays alumni who have placed at the Olympics.
The inaugural Kansas Relays Hall of Fame will also add history to the event when it introduces its first class on Saturday. The inductees are Santee, Ryan, Glenn Curning-
All seven inductees have connections to the Olympics; five competed and two coached Olympians.
ham, Al Oerter, Billy Mills, Bob Timmons and Bill Easton.
Santee was one of the runners who attempted to break the four minute mile barrier. He ran in the 1952 Olympics.
Ryun became the first high schooler to run the mile in less than four minutes. He competed in three Olympics and broke three world records. He was voted Best Performer at the Relays four times, a record. His performance in 1972 drew more than 35,000 people to Memorial Stadium.
Cunningham is the third miler going into the Hall. This Kansan competed in the 1932 and 1936 Olympics and is considered to be the Relays' first true star.
Oerter won four straight gold medals in discuss between 1956 and 1968, becoming the first athlete to win four consecutive
meduats. He won three consecutive triple crown titles as a Jayhawk, and the Relays' Mens' Discuss Throw is named after him.
Mills began his career at the Haskell Institute, came to Kansas and continued on to win the Olympic gold medal in the 10.000.
Easton coached eight Olympians and was the Jayhawks' coach from 1947 to 1965. The University won three NCAA titles under his leadership. The Men's Four Mile Relay is named after him.
Timmons, Relays Meet Director from 1965 to 1988, oversaw the two most attended Relays, 1972 and 1983, and helped orchestrate a visit from a Russian team during the cold war.

"I've got way too many favorites," he said.

The Jayhawks will have the favored team in both the men's and women's medles. The women's team includes runner Kim Clark, a junior who has had success the last two years. The high schoolers take over at 6 p.m. for the 800-meter run.

Freshman Kassie Humphreys, pitcher, helped senior Syria Priefer, outfielder, stretch out before the Missouri game in Columbia, Mo., April 7. The team usually stretches for about 15 minutes before each competition.
On the road with the softball team
Senior outfieldder Mel Wallach chatted on the phone on the way to Columbia, Mo., to take on the Missouri Tigers. Wallach was hustling in for a fly ball and misjudged it. The softball broke her sunglasses and caused the glasses to cut the bridge of her nose.Wallach had to get 13 stitches.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 16).
You're apt to make several interesting spiritual discoveries this year. Go into the quest with an open mind, and emerge at a higher level.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6.
Quick action is important, but it's not a good idea if you go racing off in the wrong direction. Take time to check.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
Anticipate changes and see if you can use them to your advantage. Something you're holding could increase in value. Don't let it go too soon.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a7.
A misunderstanding can be worked out if you talk it over completely.It's good to get it resolved, so go ahead and bring up the matter.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5.
Your lovery is drawing attention from important people. This is a mixed blessing, however, since
they're liable to pile on more work. Take care.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22). Today is an 8.
You're anxious to get going, and your impatience is only getting worse. By tomorrow, you won't be able to hold yourself back. Better get your money in order.
Virgo (Aug.23-Sept.22). Today is a 6.
There are lots of changes going on, some of which are taking place at home. Don't be frightened. It's still possible you can have everything you want. Or most of it, anyway.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is an 8.
A person who's making a lot of noise may require your assistance. In this case, you can be the practical one. Let it be known what's really required.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
The support you get from loved ones gives you the courage to carry on. You can attack a tough project soon, with a good chance for success. Your faith also helps.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 6.
You're in a situation where it's impossible to expand. This is enormously frustrating, but it won't last very long. While you're there, be compassionate. You're teaching by example.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 6.
Practice what you preach, even though it seems as if nobody's listening. Hold yourself to high standards anyway. You'll be glad you did.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 6.
Don't launch a new enterprise or unveil your invention quite yet. Wait at least one more day. It's much better for you to do a complete quality check now and over the weekend. Find the mistakes first.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
An insulting remark from someone you admire could hurt you. Don't make too big a deal of it, though. Just make sure you're reimbursed.
