Student breathing on own, remains in critical condition
Andy Marso remained in critical condition at the University of Kansas Hospital Sunday evening, according to a hospital emergency.
Doctors in Lawrence diagnosed bacterial meningitis in Marso on Wednesday.
The senior from St Cloud, Minn., has spent the last five days on a ventilator.

She said the ventilator increased Marso's oxygen level, which helps fight those toxins.
As of Friday, the antibiotics were able to stop the spreading of the meningitis bacteria, but the toxins were still present in his body.

Daisy Hill Internet restored; computer update required
Internet access was being restored building by building to residence halls on Daisy Hill this weekend.
However, students must initiate a process that will automatically clean and update their computers, said Allison Rose Lopez, public relations manager for KU Information Services.
Fliers have been distributed to Daisy Hill residence halls with instructions to students.
Because not all halls have Internet access, the Budig Hall computer lab will remain open 24 hours every day this week, including Saturday.
For Daisy Hill residence halls, some dialup access numbers have been removed, according to the KU Web site. Students are asked to use 864-0700 for dialup access.

Where's my appendix, and what does it do?
Everybody's wondered - where is that pasky useless little organ? The appendix is located in the lower right-hand side of the abdomen, either behind the cacum or in front of the ileum. Nobody is really sure exactly what it does but there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that the appendix plays an important role as part of the body's immune system, especially early in life.

NAACP works for memberships
By Jodie Kraftt
jkraftk@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
With an informational table in front of Wescoe Hall and a movie and discussion night, members of the University of Kansas' NAACP worked last week to spread the word about their organization and to increase membership for next semester.
Amber Rucker, one of three presidents of the organization and Kansas City, Kan., junior, said the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People started on campus in 2001 but hasn't been active because of a lack of organization. She said her main goal for next semester was to become registered nationally. This means having at least 25 due-pay
ing members. Right now, the organization has about 20 members.
Rucker said the NAACP was open to all students interested in its mission. According to its brochure, NAACP objectives include improving the "political, educational and economic status of minority groups" and increasing awareness of and eliminating racial prejudice and discrimination.
"It's not a black thing, it's not a white thing. It's an everybody thing." Rucker said.
Activities planned for next year include a voter registration drive, soul food competition, talent show, community service projects and a Black Heritage Ball.
Having a diverse group of members would allow for different perspectives and more discussions on topics relevant to campus, said Tyrone Brown, Topeka junior and one of the presidents.
"We want it to be a place where students can freely express opinions on different subjects to gain a greater understanding of each other." Brown said.
About 20 students and NAACP members expressed their opinions Wednesday night when they gathered to watch and discuss the movie Higher Learning. The 1995 film addresses issues of race and intolerance among college students. Veronica Shaw, Wichita freshman, said she attended Wednesday's event to support the organization. Shaw is a member of NAACP and said she encouraged her friends to get involved next semester.
"I've heard good things about the program in years past," Shaw.
said. "It's going to be an organization that's going to bring people together."
together. Even though she is not a member of NAACP right now, Lauren Ritchie said she wanted to join next semester. The Littleton, Colo., freshman said increasing awareness and diversity was important for the University and NAACP.
Annual membership dues for students are $10. Those interested in joining can e-mail the organization at ku_naacp@hotmail.com. The next event the group will host will be The Hook Up, featuring a guest speaker who will talk about summer relationships, 7 p.m. May 11 at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union.

Study links drug effectiveness to race
By Bill Cross bcross@kansan.com Kansas staff writer
Doctors have known for years that bupropion, an antidepressant, can help motivated people quit smoking, but University of Kansas Medical Center researchers have found that it may not work quite as well, on average, for African Americans.
Jasit Ahluwalia, associate professor of preventative medicine at KU Medical Center, led a controversial study involving 600 African Americans who were attempting to quit smoking and found that bupropion helped, just as it did in previous studies with mostly white subjects.
Yet, he said, some smoking habits more common to African Americans — such as smoking menthol cigarettes and smoking soon after waking — made it
more difficult for the subjects to quit even though African-American smokers smoke fewer cigarettes per day than their Caucasian counterparts.
In a survey completed in February, 70 percent of African-American smokers said they preferred menthol cigarettes, while the same percentage of white smokers preferred non-menthol cigarettes. Menthol creates flavored smoke, which users tend to inhale more deeply, and Ahluwalia said this may contribute to a heightened addiction. He said menthol also has a cooling effect, so it is easier to hold breaths of menthol smoke than nonmenthol smoke.
Ahluwalia said studies like his were important in trying to explain the higher mortality rate among African-American smokers than among white smokers.
Kenneth Brooks, a California author and columnist who writes
about race relations, said the study did not deserve funding because the assumptions behind it were racist.
it were false.
"The barely-concealed racist implications make it another study that questions the human status of those people grouped as black or African American," Brooks said.
Brooks said the discrepancy in mortality rate was caused by worse living conditions, on average, for African Americans, and had nothing to do with smoking.
Ahluwalia agreed that other factors contributed to the difference in mortality rates, but said it was still necessary to study minorities in clinical studies.
"Additional studies focused on diverse populations are needed to improve treatment approaches and to identify population-specific factors," he said.
butrin, is popular as a smoking-cessation treatment because it does not contain nicotine. Doctors are not sure how it helps smokers quit, according to WebMD.

quit, according Ahluwalia said bupropion more than doubled the chances of his subjects quitting. These results were similar to those previously found for white subjects. However, Ahluwalia said addiction thresholds for African Americans might need to be lowered because his subjects who were light smokers showed more difficulty quitting.
Ahluwalia warned that his study requires further review, as his subjects were mostly African-American, middle-aged women. He said a study with a more diverse group of subjects is necessary before drawing any definite conclusions.

Visa process affects foreign enrollment
The University of Kansas has been feeling the effects of a national trend in a large decline of graduate school applications from foreign students. Like many other administrations across the country, officials at the University hope that trend will be reversed
hope that verbal procedures in the visa application process implemented since Sept. 11, 2001, has been a factor in the declining number of international students, Joe Potts, director of International Student and Scholar Services, said. These include face-to-face interviews, longer visa processing times and an increase in the number of visa denials.
demonstrate
"All of those things make it seem like the U.S. doesn't want as many foreign students," Potts said.
According to the Lawrence Journal-World, on the national level international graduate student applications for this fall are down 32 percent from a year ago. The trend is similar with undergraduate applications as well. The number of international students enrolled at the University has been dropping for years. In 1993, there were 2,067. In Fall 2001, prior to Sept. 11, there were 1,720. That number dropped to 1,585 in Fall 2003.
Potts said many people were worried about these numbers because having more international students in the United States helped the economy and strengthened its relations with other countries.
other countries "International students are part of the solution, not part of the problem," he said.
He said the best way to remedy
"All of these things make it seem like the U.S. doesn't want as many foreign students."
Joe Potts Director of International Student and Scholar Services
the problem was to improve the visa application process. The United States tightened its screening processes by requiring face-to-face interviews and background checks, but it didn't give the U.S. consulates the resources they needed to perform these procedures efficiently, Potts said.
He said the process took one month at best, but in many cases it took five, so some students missed an entire semester of school waiting for their visas.
"Even if you arrive in the U.S. with a visa, it doesn't mean you will be admitted," Juan Araoz, La Paz, Bolivia, sophomore, said. He said once you arrive, the consulates still have to do a background check so the visa is no guarantee. The process was tedious, he said.
Paul Trigoso, Lima, Peru, sophomore, said there was a lot of paperwork involved in the process, but for him it went smoothly.
But Potts said not all international students were comfortable with the system. In 2003, two KU students didn't go home for their fathers' funerals because they were afraid they wouldn't be able to get a visa to return to the United States, he said.
"There is no reason why that should be the case," he said.

Legacy lives on: Emily Taylor remembered
Zach Stinson for The University Daily Kansan
At the University of Kansas, the legacy of Emily Taylor is not hard
to find.
OUR VIEW Emily Taylor, former dean of women, died Saturday. She was a model for women's achievements.
A center is named in her memory. And in that center, women such as Kathy RoseMockry, its director, continue the work of
Taylor, encouraging college women to seek more.
Taylor, an icon of fearless feminism, died Saturday. The loss the community and the University feels is great; Taylor was still influential although she was no longer a University official. But her legacy lives on.
In 1956, when Emily Taylor came to the University as the dean of women, women's achievements were most commonly measured by contests such as "Prettiest schoolgirls," sponsored by Palmolive. Taylor inspired to look for more in a male-dominated work force.
As dean of women, a role that no longer exists, Taylor often served as a mentor of women in leadership roles. Taylor would take many women under her
wing during her time at Kansas and she continued to have an effect as a Lawrence resident and occasional visitor to the center that is named after her.
Before feminist was a respected word at the University, Emily Taylor was fostering women's achievements.
The University undoubtedly benefited from Taylor's influence: Women fill scores of important positions at the University and the campus is a liberated and gender equal. Still, the University community must continue to press forward.
Now Taylor's legacy is left for a new generation of women. These women don't face the same structural barriers that Taylor faced, but, as Taylor might say, the struggle continues.
Taylor, who turned 89 three weeks ago, did not sit passively as rights that were once a dream evolved into concepts that young women take for granted. Instead, even as she grew old, Taylor kept pressing for equality on all levels
It's that legacy — of continuing effort towards social equality — on which KU students should seize.
We have lost a legend and a pioneer who brought much to the world around her. Let's honor her legacy by continuing the fight.
PERSPECTIVE
Loss of relationships can leave void; be strong
You're in a relationship that you see as perfect. Both people love each other, and you think this one will last for a while. After all, this could be the one. And then, whammo! The relationship ends faster than the plot of a bad B movie.
You were dumped. It's happened to all of us. But there are easier ways to get over it than to cut off your ear and mail it to your ex.
COMMENTARY
The first thing to remember when dumped is that the other person ended the relationship. Not you. This is important when trying to figure out the balance of power in the situation. She has it, you don't. It doesn't matter how much you would like to get back together; the ball is in her court. No matter how many times you and a small band sing "Amore" outside her window, she will only come back if it's on her terms.
COMMENTARY
Kevin Flaherty opinion@kansan.com
No real quick and easy way exists to truly get over someone. There will be mornings when you wake up and just feel inside. There will be nights that
So now that you're not focused on getting him or her back, it's time to figure out how to get over that once-special someone.
you won't be able to sleep because you're so upset. Tears may flow, and your heart will feel like it's been wrenched out of your chest and stomped on. Taking time to explore these emotions is needed for total catharsis, or a purging of emotions, according to www.romanceopedia.com. If you need time to cry, take it. If you have to reminisce, go ahead, but you shouldn't try to bash your ex. This will only make you bitter, and it's easier to get over a relationship if you remember the person for the good things he did.
There are, however, ways to make the process a little less difficult.
Give yourself time. While it may seem logical that a quick physical romp
between the sheets would make you feel better, it probably won't. After the one-night stand is over, you're still in the same place you started off ... dumped. Be wary of hopping back into a relationship with somebody else. If you jump right back into the water, you don't give yourself time to recover. It's also not fair to the person you are dating.
The first step, according to www.adulthoodwonderful.com, is to rearrange your physical environment. It's important to feel like you're getting a fresh start. Move some furniture around, or just get some new decorations.
The second step is to forget about listening to pop music. The movies are right, when you're dumped, the only songs coming on top-40 radio are either love songs or breakup songs. To avoid feeling as if the world is raining on you, just move the dial or pop in a CD.
However, the most important thing is to stay busy. Make a list of things you want to do. If you'd like to start running, write that on the list. Start doing what you like doing—it will take your mind off your feelings for a little while. Whenever
you get tired of a task, cross it off and move to the next one. The object is to become so caught up in living your life, you forget about when you were dependent on someone else.
Remember what you were like before the breakup. Unless you both started dating from the second you were popped out of the womb, you were a separate person before you met. Focus on becoming what you would like to become — a strong healthy individual.
If the situation becomes a little bit too much for you to handle on your own, talk to your friends. If it gets past that stage Counseling and Psychological Services can help.
Getting over being dumped is almost always difficult, and there will be plenty of roadblocks along the way. Just take your time and try to stay positive.
Trust me, I would know. I was dumped about a month ago by someone whom I thought I would eventually marry. It hurts, but if you give yourself time to heal and follow these steps, it should make the process a little bit easier.

'Blender' song list comes up short; some songs forgotten
COMMENTARY
I'm a cheesy kind of guy for the simple fact that I love music from the 1980s. Love it. I own scads of it. And why not? It's the music I grew up with. To prove it, I popped in my We Are the world cassette from 1985 just the other day. Yes, that's a cassette. Tina Turner's a real show-stopped on one that
So it distressed me a bit when I saw that Blender magazine chose quite a few '80s tunes near the top of the list of 50 worst rock songs ever for its May issue. The 1990s and the present decade weren't immune either, but 12 of the top 25 songs on the list come from the '80s.
Granted, some of the dishonors were deserved. Eddie Murphy's foray into the music business with the deplorable Party All the Time got its just recognition at No. 8. And, although its opening synthesizer riff is instantly recognizable, the pouty-lipped Corey Hart's Sunglasses at Night clocked in at No.23 and is an exercise in songwriting stupidity.
("Don't mess around with a guy in shades, oh not") he warbles. Wouldn't
Alex Hoffman opinion@kansan.com
But some of my beloved groups from the era slipped into the list. My boys Huey Lewis and the News got supremely shafed when Blender chose 1984's The Heart of Rock & Roll as the sixth song. This is a little harsh. Don't these people know the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'? Also, Chicago is also one of my all-time favorite bands, and yet its 1984 hit You're the Inspiration took the No. 18 spot.
THE 10 WORST SONGS FORGOTTEN BY 'BLENDER'; REMEMBERED BY HOFFMAN
10. Walk the Dinosaur, Was (Not Was) (1888)
9. Afternoon Delight, Starland Vocal Band
(1976)
1. Endless Summer Nights, Richard Marx (1987)
8. Making Love Out of Nothing At All, Air Sunny (1983)
8. Dops!...I Did It Again, Britney Spears (2000)
8. Feelings, Morris Albert (1975)
9. Somebody's Watching Me, Rockwell
(1964)
2. Heartbeat, Don Johnson (1986)
2. Macarena, Los Deli Rio (1986)
3. Wannabe, Spice Girls (1997)
News' hit Hip to Be Square from 1986 is a lot more irritating. I'm just begging for the song to end as the chorus of San Francisco 49er football players tries to sing over and over, "Here, there and everywhere/Hip, hip, so hip to be
5. Feelings, Morris Albert (1975)
Hedgehog and And then there's Starship
And then there it was. The group took home the prize for worst song ever with 1985's We Built This City. Yes, the lyrics to this song are pretty awful ("Who rides the wrecking ball/into our guitars?"), and points should be taken off for including a radio clip of a traffic report during the instrumental bridge.
But I don't think it was Starship's worst effort of the 1980s. That dubious honor would go to the insipid power ballad Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now, which inexplicably rose to No.1 in 1987. I'm still mulling over which was worse;
And if the magazine has something against mega-producer David Foster's Chicago collaborations, or something against Foster alone, there are other clunkers from which to choose. Man in Motion from the film St. Elmo's Fire, anyone? Or the ultra-schmaltz Hard to Say I'm Sorry from the Chicago 16 album, probably my least favorite Chicago hit.
The debate will surely continue about the songs Blender missed. For one, why didn't the editors include a song from the creative bankruptcy of one sappy, mullet-haired Richard Marx? All he wrote in the late '80s were slow dances often played at junior-high mixers and rhymed "pain" and "insane" in almost every song. Maestro Marx took trite writing to Himalayan heights with such lyric gems as "It don't mean nothin' till you sign it on the dotted line" and "Time was all we had until the day we said goodbye." A true wordsmith.
But all of this is what I enjoy most about '80s music. It was good, clean fun no matter how silly it seems today. Now leave me to my Hall and Oates greatest hits album, please.

World traveler stops in Lawrence
Hitchhiker-author shares travel tales with readers

his 10-year journey. Yarborough recorded his trip with a tape recorder and by keeping a journal. When he finished traveling in 1989, his friends and family wanted him to turn his memoirs into his book. So he wrote Close Calls: Narrow Escapes Living on the Road.
Yarborough shared stories about his travels and signed copies of his book at Aimee's Café and Coffee House, 1025 Massachusetts
St., and Borders Book, Music & Cafe, 700 New Hampshire St., on Saturday. He said regardless of not selling many books this weekend
he enjoyed telling his stories to his readers.

to get him. While Yarborough said he had more close calls on the road in the United States than in any other
country, he said the one time he felt that his life was threatened in Morocco's Rif Mountains.
He made it to Morocco in 1983 with a friend he met in Spain. The two wanted to see parts of the country that were not popular tourist spots.
A man they met in Morocco took them to his farm. Yarborough had no idea the man grew marjuana and after giving the two a tour of his fields, he led them to a 15-by-15-foot room stacked with kilograms of hash.
Yarborough did the only thing he knew could get him out of the situation.
"I lied," he said.
The farmer mistook the two travelers as drug dealers and expected them to buy his hash. To get out of the situation, Yarborough and his friend promised to return from Spain with $3,500 — money they lied about having. The man gave them a chunk of hash up front for everything they had on them and sent the two on their way, Yarborough said.
While he traveled, his parents had no idea where he was and
they certainly didn't think the journey would last 10 years, Yarborough said. He would occasionally send them postcards, but they never knew where he was going next, he said.
Yarborough settled down at the start of the 1990s after meeting his second wife, Lidia Young. She said he was able to concentrate on his new adventure: family life.
"With his family he could really experience his heart as opposed to on the road, where you meet new people and just move on," she said.
people and join in an activity. Yarborough can agree. He said being able to say you feel one way about a person or a situation, and also being able to trust that feeling can get you out of a difficult situation.
Yarborough said he was happy now. Living in Overland Park, he has a wife, two stepchildren, two cats and a past he will never forget.

"Later she walks by me and said, 'Never stop dancing just because someone is laughing at you,'" he said.
Taylor paved the way for women, but women's issues still weren't solved, said Beverly Smith Billings, member of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center Advisory Board and Taylor's friend.
"It's important that we carry on with those issues that she felt were important," Billings said. "And those are big shoes to fill."

KENTUCKY DERRY
Smarty Jones making his way to most popular horse
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The morning after John Servis won the Kentucky Derby with Smarty Jones, the trainer was still having a hard time taking it all in.
"It's still a little overwhelming."
Servis said on a rainy Sunday at Churchill Downs. "It'll probably be sinking in for the next few days."
Servis said Smart Jones came out of the race healthy and would be
shipped back to his home base at Philadelphia Park today or tomorrow to begin training for the Preakness at Pimlico on May 15.
When Servis returns to his home in Bensalem, Pa., about a mile from the track, he might have a better idea how popular Smarty Jones has become.
Servis already knows a huge roar went up from the Phillies crowd when the race was shown on the giant video screen before Saturday's game.
NASCAR
And friends told him folks at Philly Park were "jumping on tables" to celebrate Smarty's win.
"The city is embracing it, the whole state is embracing it," Senvis said. "it'll be fun. We're very fortunate to be part of it."
Asked if Smarty Jones might be more popular than the Flyers, Servis said: "His winning streak's a little longer then theirs so I'd have to say Smarty — but we'll be rooting for them."
Winning the Derby is a golden opportunity for a trainer to move up in the ranks, and perhaps set up shop at a bigger track like Santa Anita or Belmont Park or Churchill Downs.

NEW YORK — After another shaky start, Mike Mussina became unhittable in a hurry. Mussina settled down and lasted seven innings, Hideki Matsui hit a go-ahead single in the seventh and the New York Yankees won their sixth straight game yesterday with a 4-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
Opponents were hitting a hefty.344 against Mussina coming in.And midway through the fourth,he had given up eight hits and two runs.
Then he retired 11 batters in a row.
Then he retired 11 batters in a row.
"I was frustrated," Mussina said. "I thought I was pitching better than two baserunners an inning. You have to realize every inning is a new inning and every hitter is a new hitter."
"With a pitcher like Mussina, if you've got him set up for the knockout punch, you'd better deliver it," said Mike Sweeney, who drove in both runs for the Royals.
The Yankees completed a three-game sweep of the Royals, who have dropped four in a row and 14 of the last 17. They fell to 1-10 on the road this season.

Spurs victorious over Lakers in best-of-seven series game
SAN ANTONIO — Poise down the stretch came only from Tim Duncan and the defending NBA champions. Precision was the quality the Los Angeles Lakers lacked.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (May 3)
Somebody with a great deal of imagination thinks you can bridge the gap between fantasy and reality this year, so give it a try. The pay should be good, though you'll have a tendency to spend freely. Your friends can help you stick to the rules, but remember to do the homework.
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Today is an 8. You enjoy lively arguments, and you like to win. Odds are good you will, but don't do it at your own expense. The real prize is knowledge that makes you more effective. Don't let the other person find that information first.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7. As you finish, you should feel a wonderful sense of accomplishment float over you. If somebody wants to criticize what you've done, no problem. You're strong enough and getting stronger.
Gemini (May 21-June 21).
Today is an 8. You're so popular that it may be hard to find time for yourself. Your social life could interrupt your work schedule, too. That would not be
good. Prioritize.
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
Today is a 7. You'll soon find it easy to make up your mind. The answer will become clear. Until then, continue to query your friends and try out different things. You'll settle on one in due time.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 6. Sharing what you've recently learned is half the fun. The other half is using new skills in the privacy of your own home.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7. If you ask for the money early, you'll be much more likely to get it. Study later. You'll know when, because you'll start feeling inquisitive.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 7. Something you've long dreamed about seems to be coming true. Is it an illusion? Well, it could be. As you move from fantasy to reality, you'll find out what will work and what won't. Don't be afraid.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21).
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21).
Today is an 8. You'll soon have the
advantage of high energy and determination. Prepare yourself for a golden opportunity.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a7. Settle down and set some priorities. A wildly speculative idea won't get off the ground, but it can lead to something else. Don't abandon your idea entirely. Figure out why and how.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19).
Today is a 7. You can talk with friends later on and share your amazing stories. But don't make fun of a person whose head is in the clouds. Some folks are just reality-challenged.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Today is an 8. It's time to get back to business. Although you're still in a festive mood, you'd better pay attention. And keep your stories to yourself until later this week.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
Today is a 7. Focus on finances for a while, and put an old fear to rest. There's no point worrying and wondering. Do the homework and find out. You might be in better shape than you think.

SOFTBALL: Leah Mountain hits her second home run of the year
sports
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A
Texas pitcher Christina Gwyn issued back-to-back walks to start the inning, before drawing two pop-ups.
Ball four of freshman pinch hitter Nicole Washburn's walk was a wild pitch that scored senior center fielder Mel Wallach from third base.
Texas had one run in the seventh inning, when Pierce issued a lead-off walk and an error at third base allowed a second runner on.
"I didn't really change my game plan, I just settled down and let my defense help me out," Pierce said.
Wallach stepped up and hit a single, scoring Stanley and Frankenstein.
The Jayhawks came out strong in Saturday's game.
Saturday was also Arrocha Ballpark's official Day of Dedication. The first 500 fans received commemorative bats.
Kansas' other run of the day came in the sixth innin when senior first baseman Leah Mountain hit her second home run of the year.
Kansas will have a week off before facing Iowa State at home this weekend. Game are at 2 p.m. Saturday. 1 game. p.m. Sunday.

BASEBALL: Jayhawks look to rebound from sweep tonight
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A
A bright spot for the 'Hawks this weekend was the play of junior catcher Sean Richardson. Richardson hit homers in each of the series' three games.
"It's frustrating in a home series that we are getting beat like that," Richardson said. "I just think the biggest thing is how we are going to react to that."
With the three losses, the Jayhawks fell into last place in the conference as eighth place Missouri and ninth place Kansas State both picked up wins over
the weekend. Only the top eight teams in the conference qualify for the Big 12 Tournament.
"We knew it was going to come down to those last two weeks, head to head," Price said. "Certainly Missouri's two wins over Texas puts them in the driver seat."
The 'Hawks will face Missouri and Kansas State in the team's final two series' of the regular season.
The Jayhawks hope to rebound tonight against the Baker Wildcats at Hoglund Ballpark beginning at 7.

Kansas cyclists to go to nationals
The KU Cycling Club men's team and two members of the women's team qualified for nationals yesterday afternoon.
The Cycling Club hosted the Jayhawk Cycling Classic this weekend in Lawrence. The Classic was also the conference championship for the college teams.
The weekend started Saturday with some races in rural Shawnee County.
In the team timed trial, the Kansas men's A team placed first. In the road race, Adam Mills, Topeka graduate student, placed third, and Steve Schneller, Overland Park senior, took fifth. In the women's race, Jessica Dreef, Overland Park senior, took second; Kim Kissing, St. Louis sophomore, took third; and Jen Duffy, Colorado Springs, Colo., sophomore, took fifth.
Andy Phelps, Shawnee junior and race director, said he thought yesterday's race was the most difficult course the team had seen this season because it was a four-corner course and there were some hairpin turns. The hard right turn at Mississippi Street was the hardest of part of the day, he said.
The turns did not seem to be a problem for Kansas. In the men's A race, Kansas' Mills placed fourth. In the B race, Chris McFord, Lawrence sophomore, took
In the women's race, two Kansas cyclists qualified for nationals. Dreef placed third and Kissing placed fourth.
third and Matt Spencer, Derby freshman, took fifth. The A race is for experienced riders.
The team may have also benefited from the weather.
But during the races, Phelps said, it was amazing weather for cycling, with sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-50s.
Kissing said it was great to race around the community. She got fourth overall and third in prime laps in the women's race enough to qualify for nationals. A prime lap, pronounced "preem," is a sprinted lap done at random during the race.
Phelps had been helping to organize the event since October. He said had been eager to bring a race to campus.
"It's such a picturesque course for spectators and racers," Phelps said.
The course started in front of Wescoe Beach and wound around the Chi Omega fountain, down to Memorial Drive and then over to Mississippi Street, where it went back up to Jayhawk Boulevard.
Nationalists will be held May 21 to 23 in Madison, Wis.

Kansas defeats Texas during field dedication weekend

Kansas softball swept the University of Texas Longhorns 3-0 and 3-1 during the weekend.
the weekend.
Yesterday's 3-1 victory improved senior pitcher Kara Pierce's record to 16-11. Pierce also picked up a save in Saturday's victory. Freshman pitcher Kassie Humphreys picked up that victory and improved to 14-10.
The victories improved Kansas to 30-25-1 and 6-10 in the Big 12 Conference.
In the bottom of the third inning,
Yesterday's game was scoreless through the first 2.5 innings.
sophomore third baseman Nettie Fierros drew a walk. Sophomore left fielder Heather Stanley then hit a fly ball that landed out of the reach of Longhorn sophomore shortstop Amber Hall.
Sophomore catcher Melaney Torres then sent a one-out single between third base and shortstop, advancing the runners and reaching first base. With the bases loaded, sophomore shortstop Destiny Frankenstein singled to Hall but didn't receive an RBI because Fireros was thrown out at home.
Then, with two outs, sophomore designated player Serena Settlemier hit a 3-1 pitch back up the middle. Stanley and Torres both scored and Frankenstein reached third base,
"The best thing about that at-bat was she was patient," head coach Tracy Bunge said.
Settlemier returned to the starting lineup for the first time since her two-game suspension, which was issued for her being late to practice. Settlemier had played in several of the last five games, but was excluded from starting. She had been in a hitting slump going into her suspension.
"I don't like being benched," Settlemier said. "I've never been benched. It helped me get out of my slump."
Kansas would add one more run in the sixth inning.

Tennis team falls to Texas, finishes ninth in Big 12
For the second straight year, the Kansas women's tennis team is the ninth-best team in the Big 12
Seeded ninth, the 'Hawks fell to No. 1-fellow Texas Friday, 4-0. Kansas started the meet by losing a close, 8-5 contest in a doubles match.
PETER R. SMITH
In order to upset the Longhorns, the team would have
needed four singles victories.The team lost three, which led to the Longhorns clinching the victory.
"We had every opportunity to clinch the doubles point, but Texas raised their level of play due to the pressure we forced on them," coach Amy Hall said in a news release.
The tournament was held in Oklahoma City because of inclement weather.
Stick war
- Kayann staff reports

Jason Sawyer, Haskell Indian Nations University student, played stickball at Haskell Friday afternoon. Stickball is a Native-American game that symbolizes war where teams use sticks with netted ends to throw a leather lace ball and hit poles at either end of the field. The ball is about the size of a golf ball and the poles are the same diameter as telephone poles. The game is full-contact and unpadded. Women are not allowed to touch the sticks because it brings bad luck. Most of the players in Friday's game were Haskell students and alumni.
BASEBALL
Texas Tech too much for Kansas
By Ryan Colaianni
rcolaianni@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
With Big 12 Conference regular season play coming into its final weeks, the Kansas baseball team desperately needed a series victory against Texas Tech this weekend. However, the pitching staff allowed 48 runs in the three-game series, and the lavwhawks were swept.
"It's a tough time we're going though," coach Ritch Pice said. "They swung the bats as good this week as anyone we have played all year and they absolutely took us apart."
they abscused Freshman starter Sean Land allowed seven runs in a third of an inning in the second game of a double header yesterday. The Jayhawks fell 18-7 in a shortened game because of the lopsided score, and Land was given the loss.
"We wanted to get Land his first start," Price said. "Obviously that didn't go very well. I still like his potential and his upside; I still think he will be a quality guy for us."
Things didn't get better for the 'Hawks when Ken Livesey came on to relieve Land. Livesey allowed two more runs in the inning, and the Red Raiders held a 9-0 lead after the top half of the first inning. Livesey allowed seven total runs in 2.2 innings pitched.
The 'Hawks cut the lead to five in the bottom half of the second inning as they scored four runs. Sophomore Matt Baty drove in three runs on a triple that hit the centerfield wall and sophomore Ritchie Price drove in another run on a sacrifice fly to cut lead Red Raider lead to 9-4.
The Red Raiders scored nine runs over the next four innings to put the layhawks away for good.
The pitching staff struggled the entire weekend, losing the first game of the doubleheader yesterday 11-4 and Saturday's series opener 19-7.
Price and pitching coach Steve Abney will discuss potential remedies for the pitching problem.

RIAA cracks down
Two unidentified students to be subpoenaed
By Steve Vockrodt

The University of Kansas is awaiting subpoenas from the Recording Inustry Association of America before deciding how to proceed on lawsuits filed against two KU students.
The RIAA announced last week that it is filing 477 new lawsuits against file-sharers nationwide.
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said the suits have been filed in U.S. District Court and the University has received them. The suits identify the defendants as "John Doe #1" and "John Doe #2."
Neither the RIAA, the courts, the University nor the students themselves know who the defendants are. The RIAA knew only the IP addresses of the students.

Lawrence area rough on allergy sufferers
By Bill Cross

Kansas staff writer
There's something magical about springtime — something in the air. For some, it's love. For many students, it's pollen.
It's allergy season. Sneezes and coughs interrupt lectures. Students sit in the hallways with heads buried in their hands.
Sean Merrion, Overland Park junior, goes through this routine daily. He suffers from seasonal pollen allergies, or hay fever.
fever.
"I rub my eyes persistently in the mornings, but that just makes it worse in the long run, and there's really nothing you can do," he said.
Nancy Olson, pediatrician at the KU Children's Center at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said pollen counts were highest in the morning.
counts were highest in the day. The comfort eases during the day, as pollen counts decline and sinuses drain.
According to a four-year study conducted by research firm Sperling's Best Places, the Kansas City area is the worst in the United States for pollen and mold allergies.
Allergic reactions are a result of the human immune system. Sometimes the immune system is too eager to help and attacks a harmless intruder in the body, such as a pollen particle or a mold spore
John Brown, professor of molecular biosciences, said specialized cells in the immune system are responsible for releasing histamines. When these cells bond to antigens — such as viruses, bacteria, or in some cases pollen — they release histamines that cause small blood vessels to expand. These vessels are like a Chinese finger trap — when they expand, materials can easily pass in and out of the bloodstream. In a normal immune response, white blood cells exit the vessels into the surrounding tissue to kill the intruder. In allergic reactions, the inflammation is pointless and irksome.

The task force then presented its findings to city officials at the end of March.

Absences in House postpone marriage amendment debate
TOPEKA—House leaders postponed debate on a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage yesterday because two supporters were out of state.
The proposed addition to the Kansas Constitution cleared the Senate on Saturday with the minimum two-thirds approval necessary for submitting a constitutional amendment to voters. Passage was uncertain in the House, where the debate and vote were rescheduled for today.
Eighty-four favorable votes in the 125-member House would put the measure on the November ballot. A slightly different version of the amendment won House passage in March on an 88-36 vote.

Internet service being restored
By Azita Tafreshi
atfreshi@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Internet access for Daisy Hill residents is being restored on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Students must log on to www.cleannet.resnet.ku.edu, available only to users on the ResNet network, and complete a five-step cleansing process in order to regain Internet access. The 15-minute process, which was outlined on filers distributed to the residence halls, involves runninga cleaning program, rebooting the computer and installing the April 14 Microsoft Windows security update, said Allison Rose Lopez, public relations manager for University of Kansas Information Services.
Several hundred of the 2,750 computers that were potentially infected have been re-released onto the network, and the Information Services staff is working to accelerate the process, Lopez said.
Roommates who share a port must both complete the process. After following the instructions on the site, students need to leave their computers turned on so the system can scan the port and reactivate it, Lopez said.
Students with Macintosh computers or who use Unix or Linux computing systems were not susceptible to the infection and will be turned on automatically, Lopez said.
Computer labs across campus have extended their hours for students without Internet access.
More computers were also added to the lab station in McCollum Hall yesterday, and additional computers will be added to the Ellsworth Hall lab station today, Lopez said.
Lopez said.

Israeli singer-songwriter to perform
KU Hillel group co-sponsors Broza concert
By Marc Ingber

Kansan staff writer
The "Bruce Springsteen" of Israel is coming to the University of Kansas.
Israeli singer-songwriter David Broza will be performing tonight at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Broza, who sings in Hebrew, English and Spanish, has been famous in Israel for a number of years and has performed with Paul Simon, Bob Dylan and Van Morrison.
"He's one of the only people I've seen in Israel, so it's a big deal he is coming to KU," Eli Beracha, Tel Aviv, Israel, graduate student, said.
Beracha said that his grandmother had a Broza album when he was younger and he grew up listening to Broza's

music, so Beracha was looking forward to remembering his younger days.
Broza is popular with the American Jewish community, as many people see him perform while studying or traveling in Israel.
"In Israel he's been the singer who defined his generation," said Jay Lewis, executive director of KU Hillel, which is co-sponsoring the concert. "A lot of his songs have become national favorites everybody knows."
Lewis, who has seen Broza perform in Jerusalem and Boston, said he was comparable.

borely, but Beracha said many of Broza's songs dealt with peace, a topic important to the Israeli people.
Broza's performance is an unbelievable opportunity for the University of Kansas because it shows what Israel is like culturally, while the country is usually only talked about politically, Lewis said.
Melanie Weiser, Dallas senior, who is Jewish and Hispanic, said she was planning on going because she heard he blended Flamenco and Salsa styles with Hebrew music.
"It blends two important aspects of my culture," she said.
Tony Jacobson, an alumnus associated with Hillel, saw Broza perform at Central Park in New York City in 2001.
He said he was amazed that KU Hillel was able to get Broza to come.

Broza performs by himself with only a guitar, but he is able to make it sound like there are more people playing, Lewis said.
"It's great to have an international artist of his stature come here," he said. "It's going to do a lot for Hillel and the Jewish scene."
Beracha said that was one of his favorite aspects of Broza's performances.
"The fact that he can perform so well without any help is amazing," he said.
Lawrence may adopt online car auction

- Edited by Kevin Flaherty
If you've ever wanted to ride in a police car, but not in the back seat, consider buying one.
seat Since April 28, the Douglas County purchasing division has been auctioning seven used police vehicles on eBay.
The seven four-door Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors have each received at least four bids, with a 2002 model topping the list with 12 bids as of yesterday.
The cars are each outfitted with a heavy-duty police package, which includes heavy-duty transmissions, sway bars and brakes, as well as rust-proofing treatment to reduce noise and interference.
The terms of sale for the cars include an as-is policy, in which no warranty will be offered.
Jackie Waggoner, purchasing agent for Douglas County, said that the online auction was an opportunity for the cars to bring more revenue and publicity to the county.
"It's just a different means of disposing of our vehicles," Waggoner said. "It's definitely a different approach for us."
In the past, when the county phased out its vehicles, it would send them to auction houses in Kansas City, Mo., or hold its own auctions.
The online auction presented less costs for the county, Waggoner said.
but she said that individuals who didn't want to wait out the auction process could purchase the vehicles for inflated prices ranging from $5,275 to $9,950.
If the cars bring in enough revenue, Waggoner said the county would consider using the online auction again.
"Ive already received a lot of phone calls about it, and I hope it's successful," she said. "We actually have two dump trucks ready to go if it is."
Landis is the purchasing specialist for Lawrence. He said that if the online auction was successful, he would consider doing the same thing with used Lawrence

"I look at it in the morning and in the evening to see the bids."
Landis said. "I hope they get quite a bit for them so we can do the same thing."
Officials in the purchasing divisions of Lawrence and Douglas County discussed the possibilities of the eBay auction at great length before agreeing that the county would be the first in the area to try selling the vehicles on the Internet.

Like the county, the city sent its old cruisers to auction houses in Kansas City, Mo., but Landis said the outcome of the online auction could change all of that.
The auction for the police vehicles ends tomorrow at 6:21 p.m.

The restructur-
But last week, students got their way. Perkins decided to reinstate a student vote on the KUAC board.
But the board for college athletics had no student representation.
Then on Friday, Perkins made the suggestion of adding back the student vote, a proposal that was made twice before by Knopp and was twice defeated.
Perkins said he thought it was important for students to have a voice because the board existed to serve the students. Of course, the student vote does not make much difference if the vote is four to one.
It is important that the KUAC board has a student member and that the vote be more than just a voice. The representative, which right now is the student body president, needs to be outspoken. The board develops all athletic policies. And because athletics are a huge part of the University atmosphere, it only makes sense that we have a vote in the process.
Student Senate will regain their student vote May 7, at the next KUAC meeting.

Extreme signs change message Abortion is a serious subject
Last weekend, I joined more than 500,000 men and women in Washington, D.C., for the March for Women's Lives. More than 250 KU students took seven buses to our nation's capital to be part of what the media is calling the largest rally D.C. has ever seen. I must say it was inspiring to see such a large and broad coalition of people supporting a woman's right to choose.
COMMENTARY
What was not inspiring, however, was the abortion rights movement's rhetoric. Slogans such as, "My Vagina is ProChoice!" were shouted, printed on T-shirts and waved in the air on posters. "Good Bush, Bad Bush" T-shirts depicted the good bush as a girl pulling down her ... th, you get it, and bad Bush as our very own 43rd president of the United States.
I have a couple problems with this message. No.1, what does it mean? My vagina, for one, has no opinion on the matter. No more opinion than, say, my arm or my foot. No.2, what are slogans such as this really accomplishing?
Anna Gregory
opinion@kansan.com
Slogans such as "My Vagina is Pro-Choice!" were shouted, printed on T-shirts and waved in the air on posters. What does it mean?
They definitely aren't converting the unconverted. No anti-abortion advocate is going to read this slogan and
Women's reproductive rights is an important issue. Lives are on the line. It deserves serious consideration. A slogan such as, "My vagina is pro-choice!" only trivializes the issue.
My government should not make laws concerning my body. It should be my decision to do with my body what I wish. That is why I support a woman's right to choose.
The abortion-rights movement needs a new public relations campaign. We need to focus its message on the issue. Let's talk about rights. Let's talk about freedom. This is what the issue is all about. It has very little to do with my vagina.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
'Emily Taylor remembered':
Good work, but forgot smile
Congratulations to the Kansan staff for good background reporting and an excellent editorial. Emily Taylor was an exceptional friend and mentor for generations of KU staff and students we miss her already.
Despite the talent evident in Zach Stinson's strong portrait of Dr. Taylor on Monday's opinion page, I wish he'd used a photo of a smiling Emily Taylor as his reference — because that's how I'll remember her.
"Dean Taylor" loved a good joke, was unfailingly gracious and welcoming as she greeted people, and had a smile that filled a room. And what a laugh — especially if she overheard someone refer to the Emily Taylor "Memorial" Women's Resource Center!

Censorship in cartoons reflects other bans
Ahhh, cartoons. So lovable. So innocent. So harmless.
But not according to some newspapers across the country that contemplated whether or not to print Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury comic strip that featured its lead character, B.D., having his leg amputated as a soldier in Iraq.
Iraq.
Some of the 1,400 newspapers in which Doonesbury runs, including the Lawrence Journal-World, debated whether or not to publish the comic strip because of some vulgar language it contained. After B.D. regained consciousness in the strip, he exclaimed "Son of a Bitch" when he found out about his amputated leg.

Ric Brack, managing editor of the Lawrence Journal-World, said the newspaper decided to publish the strip after a long discussion.
The Lawrence Journal-World decided to run the comic, Brack said, because the opinion page, on which the comic would be published, had different standards than other pages. The language fit within the context of the comic strip, Brack said.

The Anchorage Daily News didn't run the strip because it felt the vulgar language was unnecessary. The Duluth News Tribune pulled the strip altogether.
Those newspapers that decided to run the strip in its entirety upheld their obligation to the First Amendment and their readers.
"People still knew, I think, what the character was saying." Brownlee said.

Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) has authored legislation to strengthen obscurity standards. Shouldn't the free market decide what is seen or heard and what isn't?
Let the free market decide if there truly is no place in society for minor offenses such as Trudeau's comic strip. If whatever is being shown offends people, then they shouldn't read the comic strip, buy the newspaper, watch the television show or listen to the radio show.
However, don't impede other people's rights to watch, read or listen to it.

"My computer is my temple," Mauargio said.

law's standards, but also set higher ones, said Anthony Fadale, the coordinator for the Americans with Disabilities Act for the state of Kansas.
Designing accessible Web sites is a challenge, said Jack Hope, Web developer for the University of Kansas Center for Research. One of the biggest hurdles is accommodating older Web browsers, which many disabled and older users have. These browsers can't handle flashier Web sites as well as newer browsers do.
"They'll read some stuff as gobbledv-gook." Hope said.
bready-gook, Hope-
There are no federal or state laws that require private companies' Web sites to accommodate assistive technologies, unless employees' jobs require them to use the company site. But companies such as Amazon that depend on the Internet for their business have already built in such features, Hope said.
Internet accessibility might improve a lot in a year or two, when more people have upgraded browsers, allowing Internet developers to use more standardized designs, Hope said.
Some University Web sites still have a way to go. Hope said.

He gave as an example a professor's Web page designed by a student who graduated two years ago. The professor's subsequent student assistants might not understand how the original site was done, let alone how to improve it with new techniques.
Some faculty members don't take Web sites seriously, Hope
added.
"They just see them as 'cute, and not anything important,' he said, so they don't worry about making the sites accessible.
making the screen readers into account presents another challenge, said Tim Sears, assistive technology trainer and consultant to the states of Kansas and Missouri. Sears is also the information systems manager for The University Daily Kansan.
Tables and links must be specifically designed to accommodate screen readers. If they aren't, the screen-reading software will read figures from two different lists as one, or worse.
Another difference is that links — especially graphics-

The University's "Enroll & Pay" Web site is not up to snuff, said Chikako Mochizuki, a Shizuoka City, Japan, graduate student majoring in history who is blind.
To enroll online, Mochizuki said she needs to have a sighted friend help her.
In e-mail, spam presents an even bigger nuisance for her and Magario than it does for sighted users.
Even with the University's new spam-rating system, Magario
said she often finds it necessary to open e-mails in order to discern their nature. And then it's too late, because opening some spam messages triggers more from the same spammer.

Magario said that she now asks friends to put distinctive subject headings in their e-mails to her. She also warns them she might discard their messages when in doubt, because six serious viruses have infected her computer in the last year.

Sharon looks for alternative Gaza plan
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Monday he will come up with an alternative withdrawal plan after his proposal to pull out of the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank was resoundingly rejected by members of his Likud Party.
Israeli officials suggested the original plan — which had U.S. backing and was popular with Israelis — would be slightly scaled down and the new version would not be put to a Likud vote
Sharon had proposed his "disengagement plan" as the best way to obtain security for Israel in the absence of peace moves and to defuse international pressure for greater concessions.
Members of Sharon's traditionally pro-settler party disagreed, voting against the plan 60 percent to 40 percent in a nonbinding referendum Sunday that the Maariv daily labeled a "crushing defeat" for the premier.
Residents of the Gaza settlement of Neve Dekalim, who had energetically campaigned against the plan, symbolically declared victory Monday by laying the cornerstone for a new neighborhood.
But government officials scrambled Monday to figure out a way to sidestep the Likud voters and proceed with some form of withdrawal anyway, arguing that with peace efforts frozen and violence with the Palestinians continuing, Israel can't afford to sit back and do nothing.
Sharon's original plan envisioned an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, home to 7,500 settlers in 21 settlements, and the evacuation of four small settlements in the West Bank by the end of 2005.

Seven military officers reprimanded for abuse
BAGHDAD, Iraq—The U.S. military has punished seven officers in the alleged abuse of inmates at Baghdad's notorious Abu Ghraib prison, the first known punishment in the case, an official said Monday. Two of the officers were relieved of their duties
The American officer who oversaw the prison said many more troops might have been involved.
The soldiers were reprimanded on the orders of Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq. Six of them officers and noncommissioned officers received the most severe administrative reprimand in the U.S. military, a military official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. A seventh officer received a more
lenient admonishment.
Two of the six were "released for cause," meaning they were relieved of their duties and re-signed "with prejudice," said Larry Di Rita, spokesman for Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.
"There may well be additional decisions" about disciplinary action against others as a result of the investigation," DI Rita added.
The official said he believed the seven officers would not face further action or court martial, but the reprimands could mean the end of their careers.
Another six U.S. servicemembers all military police also may face criminal charges.
President Bush called Rumsfeld before a campaign trip Monday and urged him to make sure the U.S. soldiers are punished, White House spokesman Scott McCillan said.

RIAA: File sharing continues
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The RIAA's recent legal action is another round of numerous lawsuits against people who download music files for free using file-sharing software. No lawsuits have gone to trial yet. An RIAA spokesperson said that 437 lawsuits have been settled.
The legal action could mean serious trouble for the KU students.
"Federal copyright law allows anywhere from $750 to $150,000 foreach work, song in this instance, that is infringed," said an RIAA spokesperson.
Settlements in the cases typically rewards the RIAA $3,000 per song. The RIAA did not comment on how it selected which offenders to sue.
"There is also a complementary need for enforcement by copyright owners against the serious offenders, to remind people that this activity is illegal," Cary Sherritt, RIAA president, said in a news release.
The RIAA also refused to comment on the specifics of the lawsuits against the KU students.
The University of Kansas was not the only university to receive
lawsuits against its students in the recent wave of litigation. Fourteen other colleges and universities were recipients of complaints.
The threat of legal action might not deter every KU student from downloading free music.
Mike Corry, Elmhurst, III, freshman, said he had and probably would continue to use his file-sharing software.
"I'll download an album to see it's good," Corry said. "There's really no other way because the radio just plays one or two songs that are good."
Corry, who has downloaded numerous music files in the past, said some defendants deserved to be sued, but others might not necessarily know they are doing anything illegal.
"Someone might have 10,000 songs on the Internet if they're a DJ and they might not even know it," Corry said.
Students worried they might be named in the suits can only sit and wait until subpoenas are received from the RIAA.

The majority of those e-mails were from people supporting the ban, she says. She read them all, trying to get a feel for the environment the people of Lawrence want in their bars and restaurants.
HACK: Commissioner considers many factors before vote
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
She sips coffee with cream and sugar from a fat white mug in her daughter's barbershop, slipping her brown sandals on and off her feet.
"My father died of heart disease, you know," Sue says, blowing steam from her coffee. "He died 34 years ago to the day we voted."
that was April 20, when Sue voted to not support the full smoking ban. The week before the commission voted, she thought about her father, about what smoking meant to her when he died.
Sue had just graduated from the
University of Kansas the year her father died. She smoked back then. When she moved back to her parents' house, she thought they would never catch on to her smoking.
"That's until I opened my suitcase and my pack of Marlboros had exploded inside," she says, laughing.
Three months later, her father died. Sue doesn't know if it was the smoking, but, she says, it couldn't have helped.
Thirty-four years later, just days before the anniversary of her father's death, everyone told Sue how she should vote.
Business owners told her it would cost them business in an already competitive Lawrence industry.
She didn't know what to do. She paced her West Lawrence neighborhood for hours at a time, turning the decision over in her head.
She talked it over with her husband, Al.
Her family doctor sat her down, telling her about the culture of smoking and its effects on the health of young people.
"I need to talk these things through." she says.
Sue didn't want people to smoke, she knew it was dangerous. That's why she quit years ago.
But—despite her father's death, her doctor's advice, her constituents' letters—she heard the words of her daughter.
And she made her decision for one person:herself.
"I have to be true to myself," she says, leaning forward in the black barbershop chair. "I have to look at myself in the mirror in the morning."
She looks up over her cup of coffee, at her daughter. "I have to make
a conscious decision," she says. "That's to give people the choice, to let people decide on their own."
So tonight the commissioner will cast her vote again. She knows it might be in vain. This time it looks like the ban will pass, she says.
But she won't waver, she says. She will vote with her conscience, for what she believes is right.
"That's right," Anne says, nodding. "That's the right way to think about it."
"There are lots of things we could ban — drinking, tanning," she says. "But how far can government go to control what people do?"
Sue takes a long pull from her coffee cup. When she puts it down, she looks at Anne and smiles.
And Anne smiles back.

ORDINANCE: Bar owners have mixed feelings about smoking ban

render pointless if citizens, who have not studied the task force's findings, vote, he said.
Ben Troja, manager at Johnny's Tavern, 410 N, 2nd St., said he could quit lighting up his Marlboro Lights if Lawrence enacted a ban.
For now, he is tempted to smoke, because 60 to 70 percent of his customers smoke.
On a personal level, Troja said he would vote for a ban. On a professional level, a ban is not necessary at bars and taverns because the majority of customers smoke, he said.
"There's so much hoopla going
Other bar owners agree.
around between bar owners." Troja said. "I guarantee communication between bar owners has increased, and they are definitely going to organize themselves as a voice."
Other bar owners. Stu Lonnie, owner of Stu's Midtown Tavern, 925 Iowa St., has handed out anti-ban bumper stickers. Dave Boulter, owner of Henry's on Eighth, 11 E. 8th St., has passed out anti-ban petitions and banded with bar owners on Eighth Street against a ban. More bar owners have spoken at City Hall against a ban.
Rob Farha, owner of The Bella Lounge, also at 925 Iowa St., may own the only non-smoking bar in Lawrence, but he has taken a stand against a ban.
His stance has nothing to do with the welfare of his bar, he said. A ban could hurt his bar by sending non-smokers to other
oars, or help his bar by attracting smokers who have no choice in smoking venues.
In his stand against the ban, Farha said five people should not be able to vote on this issue. Citizens should have the freedom to choose, he said.
But even if a ban does pass, people will get used to the smoking ban, Wildgen said.
"We're not blazing any new terrain," he said. "There won't be a mass exodus of Lawrence."

ALLERGIES: Antihistamines can help allergy sufferers

reaction results in a runny nose, a sinus headache and possibly a rash. For those with asthma, mucus can fill the lungs and the windpipe can swell up, causing serious problems. Brown said.
"If the lungs fill with fluid, our muscles are not strong enough to squeeze our lungs properly, and we are then unable to breathe," he said.
Merrion, take antihistamines to lessen the blow of an overreacting immune system.
Most allergy sufferers, including
Olson said antihistamines may prevent some symptoms, but they usually can't prevent a stopped-up nose. It may be necessary to take a decongestant or a nasal spray in addition to the antihistamine.
Merrion, who took allergy shots for 11 years during childhood, is on four allergy medications. In addition to an antihistamine pill, a
decongestant pill and a nasal spray,
he also has prescription eye drops.
He said allergy symptoms and the
drowsiness from taking antihistamines have affected his academic performance in past years, but he will not let that happen again.
"I'm fine at tests now if I take my Claritin religiously," he said, of the non-drowsy drug.
Windy conditions the past few weeks have not been good for Merrion, however Oak trees, which are responsible for the dominant
pollen in the air right now, spread their pollen primarily through the air. They must release huge amounts of pollen in order to fertilize a seed. Most flowers rely on bees and other creatures to transport the pollen.
According to the National Institutes of Health, Merrion and others whom oak pollen affects can expect their symptoms to fade away during the first few days of June.

"How is that fair?" he asked. "I mean how is that fair? Will you tell me?"
He opened his paper bag, his breath blowing cold smoke. He tried to calculate how much profit the store made from that one jersey alone. Enough to pay for another fish sandwich, he was sure of that.
Webber and his friend Shonte Peoples, a defensive back from the football team, were between classes one day, late in the fall semester, and stopped at a take-out place for lunch. They each ordered a five-piece chicken meal, two fish sand-wiches, and a drink. Then Webber reached in his pocket.
"Wait a minute," he said to the cashier. He counted his money. "Uh, just give me the three-piece chicken and one fish sandwich, all right?"
On the way out, he zipped his coat, looked at Shonte, and shook his head. "I can't believe this shit, man. I gotta put back food and look at that over there."

Athletes shouldn't get profits
He pointed to a shop where his jersey hung in the window.
This excerpt was taken from Mitch Albom's book Fab Five: Basketball, Trash Talk, the American Dream. The book followed Chris Webber and the rest of the greatest class ever recruited during their two seasons together at the University of Michigan.
If the piece from the book makes you feel bad for C-Webb, credit Albom's immaculate ability to tell a story, not the fact that Chris Webber had to sacrifice some chicken and fish. It's the same amount of guilt you should feel when other college athletes complain that they deserve jersey money — none, because being poor is something that every student goes through at some point, not just basketball players.
basketball players.
For some unknown reason, people portray college basketball and football stars as untouchable peasants. They are student-athletes, and just like you and me — students. And, yes, competing in athletics after high school is indeed a privilege and not ability-based. There are plenty of students on this campus who have exceptional athletic ability, and, if able to put the time and work in, could contend for spots on almost any varsity team at Kansas. However, it all comes down to the path we choose for ourselves. Some students decide to make the most of their classes and study time, some focus on athletics as the ticket to graduation day, and some just decide to waste their parents' money and make college a four-year frat party.

Before giving my argument, allow me to clarify one thing: I have nothing against Keith Langford. He's a nice guy, but his views in Friday's column were skewed.
Much like Langford has dedicated his college experience to the sport of basketball, I have put in close to all of my time over the past two years becoming seasoned as a reporter and sportswriter at The University Daily Kansas, have gone on countless road trips to cover games, put thousands of miles on my Camry and gradually let my focus in my classes slip from where it was when I was a freshman or sophomore. Have I ever been paid? Other than reimbursements for gas mileage, no. But what I have taken from these past two years are experiences that have taught me more about my profession and career aspirations than I could ever learn in a classroom, as well as memories I'll never forget.

"I didn't have the opportunity to play much my freshman and soophore more years," Niang said, "but I'm willing to work hard and do anything I possibly can to help Kansas be the best team we can possibly be."
After being granted a release to talk
to other schools, Niang visited Texas Christian and San Diego State. Both schools had attractive offers. Texas Christian is coached by former KU assistant Neil Dougherty, and San Diego State is closer to where Niang played high-school basketball. Both schools also likely would have offered Niang more guaranteed playing time. After weighing his options, Niang said Kansas was where he wanted to be.

"You may back off and not be as aggressive because of the effect it will have on the team," senior Tyler Hall said. "I'll usually take more risks and shoot at more pins in summer tournaments when I play individually. I'm more consistent during team play because I go into the round looking at it as playing for KU."

Kansas defeats Baker in additional game
Kansas exploded for 13 hits in its 9-2 victory over Baker last night.
Baker (21-34) scored the first two runs in the game in the second inning, but did not score again. Instead, the Jayhawks (26-25-1) put up three runs in the bottom of the third inning and never looked back, adding two in the fourth, one in the sixth and three in the eighth.
Just after a series that featured Kansas and Texas Tech drilling home runs all over Hoglund Ballpark, the Baker game was played at a more relaxing pace. Neither team could muster a single home run. In fact, both of Baker's runs were unearned achieved through poor defensive play by the Kansas fielders.
Ritchie Price, sophomore shortstop, was 3-4 and had four RBI, while Matt Tribble, senior center fielder, added two hits and three RBI.
Kansas pitcher Chris Smart (5-6) threw seven innings and allowed eight hits while striking out three and picking up the victory. Meanwhile Baker didn't have a single pitcher throw more than 1.2 innings. Nathan Schweitzer received the loss.
The game was added to the Kansas schedule after the cancellation of an earlier game at Baylor on April 24.

But Nate Field (1-0) got out of the inning, and Guiliel hit a 3-2 pitch from Terry Adams (2-1) over the right-center fence with one out in the 10th.
Turek Alharbi, Riyadb, Saudi Arabia, senior, performed a cruyff, a maneuver to change direction during a pick-up soccer game. He and his friends played at Fraser Hall lawn last night.
Field stayed on and got the first out in the bottom half.
Jaime Cerda, recalled from the minors earlier in the day, got Delgado to ground into a game-ending double play with two runners on for his first career save.
Carlos Beltran and Ken Harvey each hit an RBI single for the Royals. Gobble allowed five hits, struck out one and walked none.
Multiple homers by Cubs lead team over St. Louis
The Associated Press
ST. LOUISE — Greg Maddux put on a triple-threat performance: He helped beat the St. Louis Cardinals with his arm, bat and legs.
Maddux pitched seven strong innings, stole a base, got an infield hit and scored twice in the Chicago Cubs' 7-3 victory over the Cardinals on Monday.
"It was a great day for Greg," manager Dusty Baker said. "This guy comes to compete and tries to beat you any way he can."
Sammy Sosa, Todd Walker and Derek Lee homered for the Cubs, who split the four-game series despite scoring a total of only 14 runs. The games drew a total of 181,826 fans — an average of 45,456 per game.
Soccer
45,50 per gallon For Walker, the setting reminded him of last fall when he was with the Red Sox.
"This is a little more mild-tempered than in Boston and New York where you've got people beating each other up in the stands, and that type of stuff."
"This series reminds me a lot of playing the Yankees last year in the championship series, the same identical thing almost," Walker said. "I think it prepares you for when you get to the playoffs.

Last year was a wipeout for the St. Louis Cardinals' right-hander, who had a second shoulder operation. So was 2002 for the most part.

mings.
"He's getting better every time out there," manager Tony La Russa said. "He's been everything we expected."
In Carpenter's rind, finally, he's back to the sometimes dominant right-hander who totaled 42 victories from 1998-2001 for the Blue Jays. In 2001, before his injury woes began, he pitched 215 innings and threw three shutouts.
Kickin' it with friends
That's the kind of promise that got the Cardinals excited enough to sign an injured Carpenter in the first place, figuring that better things were in store for the 29-year-old pitcher.
Now, heading into Tuesday's start at Philadelphia, at least he's back to that '01 feeling again. Carpenter is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA.

The victory was Gordon's second in two weeks and his fifth consecutive top-10 finish.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (May 4)
Today's Birthday (May 4) The services you perform this year bring money as well as status. They may also lead to a partnership that promises even greater rewards. The partner who's best for you has a talent for scheduling and for meeting deadlines. With this person keeping you on track, things get a whole lot easier.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a4.
Don't let a friend talk you into a risky proposition. You can't afford to gamble now, especially when the outcome seems predetermined. Watch and learn, but don't play.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is an 8.
8. You don't have to tell the people who matter most what you want. They understand, and they stand by you when you need them. It's because of what you've meant to them. What goes around comes around.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6.
You'd better get busy. Postpone your voyage and tell your friends that you'll get back to them. A deadline is approaching faster than you expected.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 9.
Others have strong opinions about what you should keep and discard. Thank them for their input, but you'll know what's best for you.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22).Today is a5. The essence of a good partnership is the ability of each partner to compromise while still holding out for the thing they care about most.In other words, a good partnership is an ongoing negotiation. Keep practicing.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a7.
Something you've been working on is way too vague and imprecise. You can fix it, but you can sell it to the boss? Test it first.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 5.
Money is coming in, but it's also going out at an alarming rate. Keep track of it, and get your partner to help with this assignment.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 9.
You're strong, but you'll be even stronger if you have a solid partner. Join forces and overcome wishful thinking with determination and common sense. You can
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 5.
make dreams come true.
Tensions build, and you start to wonder who's in charge of this operation. Should you do what one person wants, or should you listen to someone else? No one can seem to agree. Take a timeout and let them figure it out. Tell them you'll get back to them.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is a 9.
You're usually sensible, but you're liable to spend too much money trying to impress a friend. Don't let your enthusiasm lead to a big mistake.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18).Today is a 5.
It's not a good day to propose new ideas or to say much at all. Get into your routine and stay there. Keep a low profile.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 9.
The urge to wander outside your normal barriers should be strong. If you can't go in person, at least exercise your mind. Search for distant opportunities.

PROFITS: Student-athletes should not profit from jersey sales
CONTINUED FROM 1B
The same goes for Langford. Heis playing college basketball in hopes of being selected in the NBA Draft and having more money in his bank account than most people could ever dream of. In a way, it's the same thing. But there are differences.
there are unlikeness. Keith comes from a strong family that has done a great job getting him to where he is today. However, his education is completely paid for, he receives stipends (aka spending money) and even gets a per diem allowance while on the road. And, oh yeah — he's also a celebrity. At a lot of places in town, the basketball players don't have to pay for their meals or drinks. Owners figure if they give them free stuff, the players will keep coming back, and in turn, their establishments will become places to be. Academically, if Keith's away from Lawrence, he never has to miss a beat in classes.
Tutors are always available and a lot of professors are willing to bend. He has it made.
My parents work their butts off so I can come to school. And when I fall behind in a class because I have to travel to a game, I don't have the benefit of academic assistance to cater to my every school-related need. Hence, my grades are not so hot this semester.
Aside from comparisons, there are the logistics of the argument.
are the logisticians There are two providers of Kansas basketball jerseys. Nike is the equipment provider for the team, and holds the same distinction for many of college basketball's top programs. Each year, Nike produces replica jerseys bearing the number of the team's top player or two, as well as team shorts. The jerseys have only the player's number, as Nike is not allowed to benefit financially from the player's name. This year, Kansas had three different jerseys produced
by Nike, featuring numbers 5,11 and 23. Say Keith Langford, Aaron Miles and Wayne Simien — whose numbers are being represented — were to receive profits from those sales. What do you tell to guys such as J.R. Giddens, David Padgett, Michael Lee or Jeff Graves, whose contributions to the team this season held just as much importance? Even worse, what do you tell the football players? Nike produces only one jersey every season per football team it supplies for in replica form. This year, Bill Whittemore would have been the only guy to receive a cut of the profits.
the proxies.
Jerseys sold in the concourse at men's basketball games and on www.kusore.com with players' names are profiting only the athletic department, as it is the only entity allowed to profit from the players' names. Those jerseys bear the same design as Nikes, but without the "swoosh" logo. The separate production allows
the making of jerseys of every member of the basketball team, but that income is used to fund athletic department things such as scholarships and, perhaps, Jayhawk cheese.
Giving college athletes cuts of jersey sales would strip college athletics of its purity. The greatest part of college sports is that while it is a business, the money does not run through the athletes' hands. It's what makes college athletics better than the pros. Instead of worrying about cars, cribs and signing bonuses, the majority of college athletes compete for love of the game. If college basketball and football players were all of a sudden able to get money from jersey sales, it would begin a snowball effect that would eventually sink college athletics to the mediocre and shallow level of the money-minded, pompous pros.

ITSU: Dedicated members continue to train outside of class
CONTINUED FROM 1B
The smaller, weaker competitor could win because the sport uses submission ground fighting
"In this sport, size doesn't matter," said Robert Riley, Lawrence junior and club member.
Club sessions, which occur four times a week in the Student Recreation Fitness Center, begin with intense warm-up and conditioning involving somersaults, crawling on the floor and push-ups. After members have started to sweat, Durnil teaches new techniques to improve their fighting. There is always something new to learn.
"You're never going to know everything," Durnil said.
For the last part of the club meetings, the members spar. They use everything they have learned to take their opponents down.
Because Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu primarily uses ground fighting, sparring matches begin with the opponents kneeling face-to-face. The competitors stare each other in the eye, their faces intense and grimacing. The club members use
arm locks, hyper extending the elbow or twisting the shoulder and chokes, which cut off blood supply to the brain, to defeat their opponents. A competitor wins when the opponent submits using the tap-out rule.
McClure said Brazilian Jiu-
Jitsu consumed him in his every-
day life.
"In class, you're visualizing moves," he said. "You're thinking about how you want to tear someone up."
Though the Brazilian Ju-jitsu is an intense and brutal fighting discipline, members don't walk out of the martial arts room at the fitness center with black eyes or dislocated shoulders.
dislocated shoulder.
The club practices two nights wearing gis, traditional clothing worn in martial arts, and the other two nights in street clothes. Fighting in street clothes helps to simulate a real fight, because in a street fight a fighter will grab onto anything to take down the opponent.
"I like to take licks, and I like to take hits," Riley said.
Members have no false bravado or machismo, and they
check their attitudes at the door. McClure said.
The club, which costs $40 a semester to join, often attracts female onlookers, who peer through the glass to get a look at the action below.
"I think they get disgusted and walk away," McClure said.
Though the club is male-dominated, Durnil said he encouraged females to check it out.
Club member Elizabeth Ault, Topeka sophomore, has been a member of the club since last semester. She said she came to fight because it was the best stress reliever she had ever found.
"I hope they won't dumb it down because I'm a girl," Ault said.
But she doesn't need to worry about the men in the club letting her off easily — she fights as intensely as any of the male members.
McClure said. The club now has about 15 members, but last semester as many as 35 came to practices.
"We never, ever let her win," McClure said.
myas 35 came to protest
the club recently joined the
Gracie Barra Association, an internationally recognized and respected academy for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. As part of the academy, members of the University's club can learn from black-belt fighters and move through the ranks.
Professional fighters come to the club to teach new techniques and to promote members to higher belts. Higher ranked belts allow members to judge their progress in the club.

"It's a higher standard than rolling around in a garage," Durnil said.
Club members consider themselves athletes. When they aren't practicing in the martial arts room at the fitness center, members are also dedicated to cross-training in other martial arts techniques, wrestling, weight training and cardiovascular training.
But it's not about athletic prowess, Durmil said, it's about dedication.

GOLF: Team approach is crucial
competing, with one additional person competing individually. This one player's individual score cannot count toward KU's team total. Out of the "starting lineup," the best four scores are taken each round, with the highest score dropped.

This relates the common thought that the name on the front of the jersey is more important than the name on the back. The front of the jersey represents your team, while the back of the jersey represents the individual player.
"With the team aspect, I may play towards the fat of the greens and make my pars," junior Kevin Ward said. "When you play as an individual, the only person you can hurt is yourself, so I may play a little more aggressive then."
When Hall and Ward talk about playing golf aggressively, they are referring to many parts of their games. This could mean hitting driver off the tee, as opposed to the safer 2 or 3-iron, for instance. Players will also take
direct aim at a pin on their approach shot to the green when playing aggressively.
playing aggressively. Team preparation is crucial for the Jayhawks before each tournament. Success in the game of golf coincides with a player's mental approach, which ultimately generates confidence off the tee box and on the greens.
"A lot of the team preparation comes at the practice round," freshman Tyler Docking said. "We'll hit a couple of shots off the tee to get the right feel. We look for confidence that way and say, 'Yeah, you can hit that shot.'"
The No. 24 KU men's golf team has put its name on the map this year, winning two tournaments and finishing runner-up in two more. These accomplishments have come from the 12 men who play for the University of Kansas. They have succeeded this year as a team.
KU golf resumes action May 20 to 22 at Purdue University at the NCAA Central Regionals Tournament.

■ Hairston Update — Malik Hairston, the top recruit on Kansas' radar, has now indicated that he will most likely have his decision made by the end of the week. Hairston, from Detroit's Renaissance High School, made one final visit to Michigan on Sunday and his final decision will be between Kansas, Michigan and UCLA. Michigan's edge is that it is close to home, and four players from his high school have gone there in the past three years.
The 6-foot-2 swingman is one of the top-two high school seniors still left to make decisions for next season, along with Randolph Morris from Atlanta.
Visits - Kansas has scheduled
three recruiting visits as coach Self begins to look forward to next year's class. Three recruits will be in town for visits the weekend of May 14. In town will be Micah Downs, a 6-foot-8 shooting guard from Bothell, Wash., Terrence Williams, a 6-foot-7 combo guard from Seattle, and Mario Chalmers, a 6-foot-1 point guard from Anchorage, Alaska.
guard from Anchorage.
Williams is from the same high school, Ranier Beach, as C.J. Giles, who Kansas is currently in pursuit of for next season.
Chalmers is ranked right now as the No.25 recruit from next year's class, and his dad said he was very pleased with coach Self's visit to Anchorage. Chalmers list of three schools right now includes Wake Forest, Arizona and Kansas.
Even Further Down The Road — Kansas has also started to hint at some recruits for the class of 2006. One who Kansas really likes is Jon Scheyer, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Glenbrook North High School in Northbrook, Ill.

Commission approves public smoking ban
By Laura Pate
lpate@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For some KU students, savoring a beer with friends and smoking a cigarette at a favorite Lawrence watering hole is a part of an average weekend until now.
After two months of deliberation, Lawrence city commissioners last night voted to ban smoking inside all businesses. The ban, which will take effect July 1, will shut smoking out of restaurants and bars, limiting it to the businesses' outdoor patios.
However, if a group gathers a 3,800
signature petition, the public will have the opportunity to vote on the issue in either August or in November and the ban could be reversed.
Before the vote took place, Mayor Mike Rundle opened the floor for public comment. Commissioners heard heated comments from 20 citizens.
Commissioners David Dunfield, David Schauner, Dennis "Boog" Highberger and Mayor Mike Rundle voted for the smoking ban. Sue Hack voted against the smoking ban.

Shortage puts hospitals in critical condition Story by Azita Tafreshi Photos by Amanda Kim Stairrett
Lori Tilson tries to make time for the little things. It may not seem like much — a warm blanket or a five-minute chat — but for her patients, these minor courses can make a world of difference.
As an emergency room nurse at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Tilson cares for patients with everything from a cut finger to a severe heart attack. But her philosophy remains consistent: Good nurses are not only competent, but compassionate.
"That's what we're there for," Tilson said. "When I'm on in the ER, my goal should be to make that patient's stay as
pleasant as I can under the circumstances."
Tilson's patients are fortunate to receive such personalized care at a time when hospitals across the country are suffering from a critical condition of their own.
insufficient as 78 million aging baby boomers are beginning to need increased care. At the same time, the University of Kansas and other universities are forced to reject qualified nursing school applicants because universities are so strapped for cash that they must limit the number of students they can teach.
The United States is in the midst of an unprecedented nursing shortage that has the potential to severely jeopardize patient access to health care, said Peter Buerhaus, Associate Dean for Research at the Vanderbilt University School of Nursing in Nashville, Tenn. The pipeline of new nurses entering the profession is

For more than 60 years the University of Kansas has been a recognized leader in providing law enforcement and fire service training as part of KU Continuing Education. The University recently received a grant of nearly $1 million from the U.S. Department of Justice to institute a state-wide training system.
ture a state-wide training system Primedia's Homeland One First Response Training and Communication Network will offer homeland security training on television to more than 319 Kansas law enforcement and fire services throughout the state. The network will provide these agencies the necessary training for working in any possible emergency scenario.

"The people who arrive first to the scene need to be able to deal with the situations in the appropriate manner," said Bryan Mosey, vice president of Primedia's Homeland One.
Primemedia's Homebrew Gaming
The Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center and the Kansas Fire and Rescue Training Institute will administer the $993,500 grant, which was endorsed by U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.).
by U.S. Secretary of Education "First responders play a vital role in the state of Kansas, and they will now be able to use cutting-edge technology to ensure that they perform at their best levels." Brownback said in a press release.
In addition to training, Kansas agencies will receive four hours of broadcast time over the network each month. The monthly broadcasts will be used for incident response, command briefings or coordination of state resources. Kansas will also be able to receive secure statewide communication from the Department of Homeland Security in Washington, D.C.
Primedia developed the technology based on the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Domestic Preparedness First Responder Guidelines.

"We are just now getting the sights up and running and are moving right along," said Ed Pavey director of the Law Enforcement Training Center.
Kansas and New Hampshire are the only two states that use the technology.

;Hoy es un día para la celebración!
The Hispanic American Leadership Organization will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo this afternoon at Wescoe Beach. It will include cultural dancing, music, confetti eggs and information about the day's historical significance.
Tonight, Hispanic fraternity Sigma Lambda Beta, Hispanic sorority Sigma Lambda Gamma, Delta Gamma and Delta Chi will be throwing a Cinco de Mayo party at the courtyard of Jayhawker Towers. It will be open to everybody and will include food, music, pinatas and information about the day.
"It's a way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo without alcohol," Raymond Rico, Kansas City, Kan., junior and HALO member, said of the party.
said of the party.
Mexico and the United States celebrate Cinco de Mayo. It commemorates the Mexican victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It
marks the last time a foreign nation has acted as the aggressor on the North American mainland.
"I would definitely say that this day has been Americanized," she said. "I feel insulted when the fraternities and sororities create shirts with a drunk Mexican in a sombrero drinking tequila or Corona on the back."
However, many Americans use Cinco de Mayo as an excuse to get drunk without realizing any of its historical significance, said Andrea Pantoja, Mission junior and HALO president.
Beta Theta Pi fraternity will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo with a benefit dinner and concert for Jubilee Cafe. All you-can-eat Mexican food and margaritas at the First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St., will be followed by a concert at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St.
The event doesn't include anything regarding the historical significance of Cinco de Mayo, but it is a way to honor the culture, Chris Beck, Newton sophomore and Beta Theta Pi philanthropy
chairman said. He said a lot of people recognized the Mexican culture by eating and drinking certain foods.
and drinking coffee.
"I think it's an excuse for people to go out, but they are still honoring a tradition as well," he said.
as well, he said.
Susie Banks, Topka senior, said she had been going out for Cincio de Mayo every year since came to the University.
every year since college "It doesn't really play into why we go out," she said of the historical significance. "It's mostly just a chance to get together with friends and celebrate."
Cinco de Mayo is often confused with Mexican Independence Day, Sept. 16. Traditionally Cinco de Mayo is celebrated with fiestas, sporting events, parades, mariachi music, dancing, picnics and beauty contests.
Rico said more people should be educated about the holiday.
"It puts responsibility on Mexicans in the U.S. to educate others that it's not a day only to get drunk, but to celebrate culture ar.1. diversity," he said.

Local man found dead in alley near Massachusetts Street
A Lawrence resident found the body of a 40-year-old Lawrence man at approximately 4:45 a.m.yesterday.
Bryan Norwood discovered the body when he walked down the east alley behind the 900 block of Massachusetts Street, said Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department.
Norwood then went to The Salvation Army, 946 New Hampshire St., Patrick said. He asked an employee, Adrian McConnell, if he could use the phone in regards to the body he had seen. Norwood and McConnell then went to check to see if the person was possibly just drunk, Patrick said.
Patrick said they then called the police. The police investigation showed that the man, identified as Lawrence resident Gordon K. Foster, had jumped from the top of the parking garage. No foul play is suspected at this time, Patrick said.
The last known contact with Foster was about 3:30 a.m., Pattrick said. An officer on a routine check had noticed Foster sitting in his car on the top level of the parking garage, he said. When questioned by the officer, Foster said he was waiting for the arrival of some newspaper for delivery.
"He didn't seem despondent to the officer," Pattrick said.
Foster was listed on the police report as having worked for the Kansas Department of Health and the Environment.

Joe Lewis, circulation manager of The Lawrence Journal.World, said Foster was in the transition process of moving from working as an independent contractor with the paper to an employee.

Custodial specialist wins award
Georgia Hunter has been a classified employee at the University of Kansas for 19 years. Recently, Hunter received the Classified Employee of the Year Award for her work on campus.

Georgia Hunter won't let a surgically removed tooth stop her from coming to work.
One day removed from a painful oral operation, Hunter was back to work yesterday keeping Stauffer Flint Hall clean, putting her job ahead of a badly swollen jaw.
Dedication such as this helps explain why Hunter won the classified employee of the year award last Wednesday.
"I've heard our bathrooms are better than anywhere on campus because of her," said Mark Gottschall, manager of the Stauffer-Flint computer lab and library. Gottschall nominated Hunter for
last 16 years.
Hunter has actually been at the University of Kansas for 19 years. Winning the award was a crowning achievement for her.
the award. "She has spoiled us with her custodial service for the last 18 years."
"It was one of my prouder days," Hunter said. "The only thing that bothered me that day was the wind."
Finding any employee of the University as dedicated as Hunter — classified or not — would be a challenge. Her typical day starts at 3 a.m. When she gets to campus at 4:30 a.m., her first task is cleaning up 100 Stauffer-Flint Hall, a lecture room. From there, she makes her way down the hallway until about 7 a.m.
She then has the arduous task
of unlocking every entrance and classroom door in Wescott Hall
"She does the whole damn building every day." Gottschall said. "We tried to get her help, and they wouldn't send her help."
The rest of her workday is spent cleaning the rest of Stauffer Flint Hall, which she usually finishes by 1:30 p.m.
She then goes home, takes care of her dog and tends to her garden before the 6 o'clock news. In bed by 7:00 p.m., Hunter needs a good night's rest before getting ready for another day.
"I try to get to bed early, like 7 or 7:30, then I feel like I've had two nights of sleep," Hunter said
in her sixth year working at Stauffer-Flint Hall — she's worked at Bailey and Learned
Halls previously — she is ready to stay where she is.
"I like this building," Hunter said. "I like the people in this building."
And the people in the building like her.
"She's always just so pleasant," said Diane Lazzarino, journalism instructor. "She just gets her work done quietly and always has a smile on her face."

A fifth fire station will help the city and the county keep up with population growth and cut
emergency response time, said Mark Bradford, deputy fire chief for the department. The station will serve as Lawrence's main fire station and is scheduled to open by early 2006.
In February, KU Endowment agreed to lease the land to the Lawrence Douglas-County Fire and Medical Department for 25 years at $1 a year.
Fire Station No. 5 is the second
part of a three-part 1996 public safety plan, Part one of the plan, completed in the spring of 2002, was to relocate Station No.2 from 19th Street and Haskell Avenue to 21st and Harper streets.

Research gains fixed leader
James Roberts makes plans for future research in his new role
By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
James Roberts' interim role as vice provost for research and president of the Kansas Center for Research was extended to a permanent position yesterday.
permanent position. Roberts was offered the position Monday night and accepted the position yesterday. The decision is effective immediately.
"I'm delighted. I'm really, really pleased," Roberts said. "We have a tremendous opportunity to move KU forward."
The center is designed to promote research at the University of Kansas. It helps researchers with proposals, funding, necessary contacts and other research needs.

Provost David Shulenburger said research would thrive under Roberts.
Roberts:
"During his time at KU, the University has led the nation in obtaining Fulbright grants for faculty, NEH Fellowships, and a doubling of external research funding," Shulenburger said in a University news release. "I'm delighted that Jim will be the next vice provost for research and serve as chief operating officer of KUCR."
"The big difference is as an interim, there are certain things you can't do." Roberts said. "You're restricted in what you can do."
Though Roberts has had the position on an interim basis for eight months, becoming the permanent president changes the nature of his job.
Roberts said such restrictions limited long-term decision making.
With those obstacles out of the way, Roberts has big plans for research at the University.
research at the university Roberts said his next major goals were to increase available research space and incorporate the Kansas Economic Growth Act.
The act is a $500 million state allocation for the development of biosciences technology. Universities will receive part of those funds for research in the bioscience field and the rest will be used in other bioscience endeavors.
Roberts became interim president on Sept. 1, 2003. He succeeded Robert Barnhill, who took a position of the National Science Foundation/Council of Graduate Schools dean-in-residence in Washington. Since then, the University of Kansas set a

record for $258 million in research funding for the fiscal year of 2003.The fiscal year 2002 drew in $243 million.
"It ultimately comes down to the quality of the faculty, students and other researchers," Roberts said. "I think it's possible for us to move into the top 25 of research institutions."
Roberts came to the University in 1990 as a professor and served as chairman of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.
He became associate vice chancellor for research and public service in 1998.
KU federal research funding grew 74 percent from 1997 to 2001, larger than the national university average of 34.1 per cent.
Roberts said the offer to resume his duty as vice provost for research was an honor.
"I'm very pleased," Roberts said. "I'm a KU alum and a Kansas, so I'd like to see KU and Kansas do well."

Kansas hunger can be tackled at the local level
Even in America's agricultural heartland, people are going hungry. Ten percent, or about 105,000 Kansas households, cannot provide adequate nutrition for all their members, according to a recent study conducted by the Kansas Health Institute.
The study, released in January, showed that food-insecurity—the inability to adequately feed all members of a household for a healthy, active life — is not just an urban problem. In fact, hunger is at about the same level in rural and urban areas. This despite the fact that most food-insecure households had at least one employed member.
But only a little more than half of the eligible families sought assistance through government and local aid. This was because of lack of awareness, and sometimes, embarrassment. So as the state and federal government work to de-stigmatize and combat the problem, the report suggested working on a local level.
OURVIEW
If local restaurants donated their unsold food items, it would help combat the hunger problem in Kansas.
Community food pantries are one of the locally-based institutions that help feed
underprivileged families and provide tangible assistance for those in need. The Ballard Community Center, 708 Elm St., the Salvation Army, 946 New Hampshire St., and Pelathe, 1423 Haskell Ave., are just three of eight organizations that provide a pantry in Lawrence.
Each pantry's livelihood is dependent on food donations, which often come from Boy Scout and Girl Scout fundraisers, church food drives and individual benevolence. By increasing food sources, pantries can provide a variety of food, and possibly increase usage.
As students move out of their homes this spring, they can donate canned or boxed goods that would otherwise be
thrown away. Similarly, local eateries can donate leftover food.
Wheatfields Bakery, 904 Vermont St. donates their unsold bread, breakfast pastries and other perishable items to various local organizations. Most food pantries accept only non-perishables but Pelathe accepts any food, so any restaurant can offer food-insecure families a meal.
The study offers increased federal and state aid as part of a multi-level solution to the hunger problem. But taking personal steps toward improving the local hunger problem will better the Lawrence community and provide an example for state- and nation-wide action.

Massage welcome break from finals-week stress
Stressed yet?
COMMENTARY
The final few weeks of hell are upon us. Tests, Papers, Projects, Finals. And for those who graduate in two weeks, you have the added worry of employment.
I will answer the following question for you:
What is the name of the person in the image?
The name of the person in the image is Emma.
But why would anyone be stressed at this time of the year? The grass is green. The sky is blue. The birds are chirping. The butterflies are flying. And you are studying, hunched over a book or starring at a computer. Stuck inside studying, worrying and stressing.
Erin Riffey
opinion@hansan.com
But I decided to take a different route this year.
I threw off the bondage of books, and then my clothes, to rid myself of stress through massage therapy.
There is no better feeling than lying lifeless under a white sheet in a warm room as someone slowly kneads the knots from your neck, back and shoulders, separating every muscle, easing every tension until you are completely limp.
And with the knots go the thoughts of books, tests, projects, moves and jobs.
Even the medical community has recognized the stress-controlling powers of massage. In an American Hospitals Association survey of 1,007 hospitals, 74 percent of the hospitals with massage therapy offer it for stress management in patients, and 69 percent use it for stress management in employees.
One hour intermission from life: priceless.
As college students, all of our stress inducers come at the same time, leaving us no time to relax — or so we think. An hour is all it takes to restore relaxation. That, and a little money, too.
According to statistics provided by the American Massage Therapy Association, consumers spend between $4 billion and $6 billion each year on massage therapy appointments as massage becomes more socially mainstream.
If nurses and doctors find relief in massage from the stresses of medical emergencies and long hours, surely students can find that same relief during their finals.
In fact, 21 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 pay for the benefits of massage therapy.
Students in Lawrence are lucky to have several options on who their massage therapist is and, because of this, how much they spend on a massage. Lawrence residents can purchase the services of the several spas and individual professional massage therapists, and they also have the option of going to a student masseuse at Pinnacle Career Institute, 4824 Quail Crest Place.
Although the student masseuse does not have as much experience as a professional and is still learning, the price itself is a relaxing $25 for an hour. A pretty good deal considering that half an hour at Beauty Brands Salon Spa Superstore, 3514 Clinton Parkway, costs $40.
Believe me, I have been to both a professional and a student, and the difference is noticeable but minimal. After last week's massage at PCI, I was too relaxed to finish this column.
Ah, the sacrifices that I make to inform the student population of the University of Kansas.
Forget about your papers, projects and tests and relax, even if it is only for an hour.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
STUDENT-ATHLETES DESERVE COMPENSATION
Keith Langford's column on the sports page on Friday concerning payment for student-athletes is one of the most well-articulated arguments that I have read in the Kansan this year. This issue has long been debated by students.-athletes, media and administrators, yet no solution has come to fruition.
How can anyone argue that a student athlete in any sport who creates an exponential amount of extra revenue for the university and who has no other source of income does not deserve a portion of the revenue they create?
University officials like to evaluate most decisions with a business state-of-mind, and this is definitely a business issue. I'd like to see a big-money athlete such as Wayne Simien or Keith Langford sign a waiver stating that they do not feel comfortable with having their name appear on any merchandise sold at the University or across the country. Such a decision would cost the University thousands, and set a much-needed precedent for student-athlete rights and privileges.
For those who are proponents of the 'being a student-athlete on scholarship is a privilege' argument, get real. Long ago we threw similar fundamental 'feel good' arguments out the window; it's time to move on. Everything is about money, and student-athletes bring in a lot of it.
If we truly want to encourage exceptional athletes to stick around and obtain a degree, keeping them at a university with no payment and a few textbooks to show for their efforts while hanging a multi-million dollar contract over their head is not the answer.
It's time to buckle up and give athletes a tangible symbol of the benefit that they provide for our universities. In the mid to late '90s, a pocket of basketball players supported our entire football team and other mediocre University squads with no thanks whatsoever; and the trend continues today.
Whatever compensation big-revenue athletes receive now should be made a lot more substantial and a lot more legal. Universities will be a lot better off.

Antspecies' complex cooperation interests scientists
By Becca Evanhoe
bevenhoe@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Our story so far: our heroine and her colony of peaceful farming ants stand on the brink of war against a pestilence that threatens their crops and entire way of life. Despite the efforts of her kinsman, a killer fungus has infiltrated her village, laying waste to its farms.
Will her clan survive?
Never fear, now our heroine draws her secret weapon: From her chest, she spaws living bacteria, anly that oozes powerful chemicals. The bacteria spell doom for the evil fungus. In her finest hour, her home-grown biological weapon defeats the invader.
enemy, a bumpy moving surface
And they have won — for now.
Or have they?
The heroine in this story is no comic book character. She's a real, leaf-cutting ant. For the past 40 million years, the leaf-cutters like her have been battling their ancient enemy, a pesky microfungus.
In this comic book scenario, the "evil" fungus, along with the bacteria in the secret weapon and the "good" fungus that the ants farm for food, join the leaf-cutting ants in one of the most complex interspecies relationships known.
species relationship. This microscopic saga has been the subject of Cameron Currie's research for the past eight years. An assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, Currie looks at how these four critters evolved alongside one another for millions of years.
Currie said that much can be learned from these co-evolving groups. "By studying this scenario, we can really shed light on the world of interactions," he said. Laws of this same "world of interactions" governs the relationships between humans and microbes, the battles between health and sickness.
health and science. His latest research may show that the evolutionary script is not a simple two-way contest of "good versus evil."
The main characters
The four characters in this world of interactions live interdependently with each other, a phenomenon called symbiosis. Most of the symbiotic relationships in biology happen between two organisms, but Currie's leaf-cutting ants are the first known four-part symbiosis.
Since the 18th century, scientists knew about fungus-farming ants. Their complex societies and agricultural pursuits are one of the most advanced civilizations in the insect world.
Currie finds his leaf-cutters in the Panama rainforest, where the mounds they call home can measure 20 feet wide by 20 feet long and 10 feet deep in the ground. The leaf-cutting, or attine, ants have been around for 50 million years.
around for 30 million workers in a given colony divide into at least seven different job descriptions based on age and size. For example, forager ants bring leaf fodder into the nests; gardener ants munch on leaves, spit them out, and swab them with fungus. And soldier ants protect the nest from intruders — Currie included.
"The soldier ants can bite through leather shoes," he said. "They bite and bite and bite." Enter the villain
Enter the vienn In addition to the ants' food fungus, Currie discovered a coexisting fungus disease, a pathogen that consumes the leafcutters' gardens. The specialized microfungi occur almost exclusively in fungus gardens.
Currie's early research showed when the gardener ants discover the pathogen, they furiously attempt to rid their gardens of it. For smaller spores, they begin a behavior called "fungus-grooming." The ants detect the pathogen with their antennae and pick up the spores in their mouths and cart the remains off.
But for large, infected patches, the ants begin weeding, a behavior where the ants clear-cut a section of garden, pathogen and all. They team together to unearth big chunks of the fungus patch.
Luke & Mack Winton/Womans
"Ive seen them take an infected patch of a fungus garden and turn it into a crater," Currie said.
The complex world of leaf-cutters seemed to be well-defined amongst the three contenders; the ants, their food fungus, and the pathogen.
An unexpected sidekick
But Currie was also the first to look closely at strange, pale patches that grew on worker ants' bodies, particularly on their chests.

a waxy substance.
What he found was a fourth player: a special bacteria grew on the ants' own bodies and destroyed the pathogen fungus.
What he came to understand was this: The ants farmed the fungus, which provided their food. In return, the ants kept the fungus well-tended. The "evil" pathogen was using the ants' gardens as easy pickings in a stockpile of food. To ward off this pathogen, the ants employed bacteria that secreted antibiotics to kill the pathogen. The benefit for the bacteria was the ants have special glands on their chests that secrete a form of nutrients for the bacteria.
nurtures for the sex
Currie realized the bacteria weren't just clingers-on. Instead, the team began to question which species was calling the shots; the ants or the microbes?
And the plot thickens
And the plot thickens.
The addition of this fourth player calls into question a host of complicated character motivations and possible symbiotic plots. Little known to our ant heroine, "good versus evil" may no longer apply; this may be a scenario more befitting Machiavelli than Marvel.
There are two possible scenarios, explained Matias Cafaro, a post-doctoral researcher who studies the DNA of the bacteria involved. In the first, the ants evolve as a species, and the other three characters co-evolve alongside. This is the standard theory in biology: the hosts, in this case the ants, lead the show.
But in the second scenario, there is plot twist. What if the microbes evolved first, and the ants were playing catch-up? In this plot, the bacterial ally may not be a tool at the ants' disposal, but in reality may be a character with its own motivations.
with its own model.
If this latter scenario were true,
Cafaro said if the ants are in fact
following the fungus and bacteria
through evolution, then that indicates that the fungus and bacteria are more important partners than we realize.
we realize. "We would have to re-evaluate the role that microbes have in symbiotic systems, and the entire environment," he said. "There's a balance in all symbiotic relationships, but this would change the way we perceive it."
The theory that explains exactly how the microbes may be in charge is called the "Red Queen Hypothesis," named after the Red Queen in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, who was running, running and running
just to stay in the same place.
Deborah Smith, assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, said the metaphor describes how the bacteria on the ants and the pathogen are the real combatants, always competing to gain an advantage. If the pathogen develops a resistance to the bacterial antibiotic, then the bacteria must change to become effective again.
effective against Through this arms race, the bacteria and fungus rapidly try to "out-evolve" one another. In this script, the seemingly higher-order ants are really led by their more quickly-evolving microbe cronies — the supposedly lower forms of life.
Currie's most recent research published in the journal Science seemed to indicate that the garden fungus and the pathogen followed the evolutionary whims of the ants. Cafaro will attempt to see if the bacteria have their own agenda by studying the DNA of the bacteria to map its evolution ary course.
But even if the story doesn't
The moral of the story is...
have a dramatic plot twist, Currie, Cafaro, and others agree the details of leaf-cutter society can teach humans much about the underworld of interactions.
the best example of how we can learn from the saga of the leafcutters and their microbial sidekicks is in the arena of antibacterial resistance, said Currie.
"Why have the antibiotics produced by the bacteria been effective against the pathogen for millions of years, when man-made antibiotics have become ineffective in 60 years?" Currie asked.
Craig Martin, professor and chair of the division of ecology and evolutionary biology, agreed that understanding this complex symbiosis motivates scientists to search for similar stories in other places in the environment. But he also believes that the leaf-cutters saga is, in itself, worthwhile.
"I think it illustrates the beauty and complexity that can be obtained by life," said Martin. "To me, that's good enough."

NURSING: Shortage leads to more stable demand for nursing students

People are in the ER because they're in some sort of crisis, Tilson said, and they may be as scared as they have ever been in their lives.
"You need to remember that you've seen a whole bunch of people come in with right lower-abdominal pain that very well could be appendicitis, and it's like well, it's another appendicitis for us," Tilson said. "But it that person's appendicitis, so you always have to

This opportunity to deal with so many different types of people and situations in the ER is what attracted Steven Lee to nursing.

ber of faculty we have in the School of Nursing, which doesn't make sense in a time when we actually need more nurses," Miller said. "But that's how it works."
The University is not alone in its plight. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing reported in 2003, that U.S. nursing schools turned away 15,944 qualified applicants to entrylevel baccalaureate nursing programs. Schools do not have enough faculty, clinical sites, classroom space or money to
take care of more people as a nurse in the past because several of your people would have been pretty much self-care by the time they were here," Tilson said.
Nurses work in a highly charged environment, said Karen Miller, Dean of the School of Nursing.
"It's very different from other professions because it's touching lives in an intimate way," she said.
Many nurses burn out and leave the profession because they can't handle the stress of it anymore, compounding the shortage, Miller said.
"I know more nurses who have stepped away from nursing than who are still practicing," said Molly Mitchell, South Haven junior in nursing.
But this hasn't stopped Mitchell, or hundreds of other KU students, from pursuing a nursing degree.
Each year the KU School of Nursing admits 120 new students to its program. The school receives four applicants for every one of those 120 available slots, Miller said. But because of state-wide budget cuts, the school has been unable to grow.
"I've had to decrease the num-

said Robert Rosseter,
director of public affairs for
the association.
Last year overall
enrollment in entry-level baccalaureate nursing programs increased 16.6 percent from the previous year, according to the association. But that's not enough new nurses to meet the demand.
In a report published in the November/December 2003 issue of Health Affairs, Buerhaus and his colleagues reported that "because the number of young RNs has decreased so dramatically over the past two decades, enrollments of young people in nursing programs would have to increase at least 40 percent annually to replace those expected to leave the work force through retirement."
Colleges are forced to turn away qualified applicants at a time when 50,000 new nurses are needed each year, said Buerhaus.
MORE FACTORS IN THE NURSING SHORTAGE
"Congress has been painfully inadequate in dealing with this problem," Buerhaus said. "They need to allocate some serious dollars to really address the issue of nursing education."
Nursing the public's opinion
By the year 2020, it is estimated that the United States will be short more than 800,000 registered nurses needed to provide patient care.
That's not the only change needed. Nursing also has an image problem. Nurses are seen as the expendable members of the healthcare system and not viewed in a professional capacity Mitchell said.
American Association of Colleges of Nursing

There are roughly 21,000 fewer nursing students today than there were in 1995.

"While we don't wear suits to work every day or make $300,000 a year, we're still professional and still important," Mitchell said.
In 1999, five percent of female college freshman and less than 0.5 percent of men identified nursing as being among their top career choices

sun importance. In the early '90s, potential nursing students were left with the impression that nursing was not a secure career path, Rosseter said. Hospitals downsized their staffs in response to pressure brought on by the emergence of managed care. The number of nursing school enrollees took a sizeable hit, Rossetter said. Hospitals soon realized their costly mistake, but not before the damage had been done.
American Hospital Association
"In the '90s nursing kind of got a black eye in the public opinion," Buerhaus said.
As part of its "America's Nurses: They Dare to Care" campaign, Johnson & Johnson recently conducted nationwide focus groups of children to find out why fewer young people were choosing careers in healthcare, Miller said. The company found that children get most of their information about the healthcare field from television, and especially the show ER. Although they said they enjoyed the show, Miller said the children were turned off by how difficult the character's jobs seemed to be.
Negative images of healthcare professions often start at an early age. Miller said.
Now, more new job opportunities are expected to be created for registered nurses than for any other occupation through 2012, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. But high school graduates are 35 percent less likely to go into nursing than they were 30 years ago, Buerhaure said.
"They say that they would never want to grow up to do that kind of work because it looks hard," Miller said. "The people are working 24/7, the public doesn't appreciate them, they don't even have time to go on a date—all those things that make TV great but are a twist on what is accurate about those jobs."
Lauren Bauer, Rogers, Ark., junior in nursing, said she had her own misconceptions about the field back when she was debating whether to be a doctor or a nurse. Doctors receive both higher pay and status than nurses, and she said it was a "rude awakening" to find out how highly trained nurses actually are.
nurses actually "Nurses have as much responsibility as many doctors do at times." Bauer said. "We're the ones monitoring those patients."
Having enough nurses to monitor and accurately relay patient conditions to doctors is a critical role that is beginning to garner more respect, Lee said.
"Some people view nursing as giving bed baths and the maintenance of patient's bowels," Lee said. "That's part of the job, but not all of it."
Nurses are critical to patients' survival.
"It's the kind of thing we all need to be concerned about because we're all going to be patients someday." Rosseter said.
survival. "There no longer any kind of question in the scientific community of do nurses matter," Buerhaus said. "When you have low staffing in hospitals, patients are at an increased risk for some kind of adverse outcome or complication."
It also found that every additional patient in an average hospital nurse's workload increased the risk of death in surgical patients by 7 percent.
thousands of lives could be saved each year just by having more nurses at patient bedside, according to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study found that the odds of dying for patients who undergo common surgeries increase up to 31 percent in hospitals with high nurse-to-patient ratios. The average ratio is one nurse for every four to 10 patients, depending on the hospital unit.
The shortage does have its advantages for nursing students.
"They get recruited for jobs before they're even finished with school," Miller said. "Salaries are better than they've ever been, so I think the sky's the limit for people who are entering now."
Hospitals know that they can't afford to lose potential nurses, and in an attempt to ease the shortage, many are offering students signing bonuses in

ter eventually won out.
"I live for patient contact," she said. "Even if I have to spread myself really thin; knowing that there are going to be patients depending on me will be worth it."
Lee said. Lee said he had accepted a job with the University of Kansas Hospital, which offers tuition reimbursement rather than a signing bonus. He said he thought the publicity the shortage had received affected the number of people entering the profession.
people moving around "The working conditions are getting better every year, and salaries are going up," Lee said.
satisfied with Valerie Flick, Macksville junior in nursing, she said she liked the options she had within nursing.
"I could start out in pediatrics day one, and five years down the road I could switch to something else with a relatively small amount of training." Flick said.
Flick, who decided to go to nursing school after graduating with a degree in biology from the University in spring 2002, said she saw how frustrated her friends became as they set out to find jobs.
She said she had also been comforted by the stability that accompanies nursing.
"I feel like I could go anywhere and get a job," she said.
Mitchell said she was initially hesitant to become a nurse because of what she had heard about high burnout rates. But her interest in healthcare and her need to help people feel better eventually won out.

Dinosaurs to get their day in Science City display
University skeletons to highlight new exhibit
By Lisa Coble
lcoble@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas and Science City in Kansas City, Mo. are collaborating to bring the University's world-class dinosaur collection to the public.
An $800,000 project underway at Science City will create an interactive paleontology laboratory where Science City employees will prepare dinosaur skeletons owned by the University.
KU researchers found more than six skeletons on a dig in the Black Hills of Wyoming over three summers: 1997, 1998 and 2002.
One of these, a Camarasaur named Annabelle, is displayed on the fifth floor of the Natural History Museum.
But the other five skeletons, many of which are complete but not assembled, have little chance of being displayed in the Natural History Museum.
There is no room in the 120- year-old building for the "homeless" dinosaurs.
less dinosaurs "i like to think of my dinosaurs as bag dinosaurs, pushing a shopping cart," said Larry Martin, senior curator of vertebrate fossils at the museum.
Martin and colleague David Burnham, paleontologist at the museum, will oversee the lab at Science City.
Science City Another skeleton, named Lyle, was excavated in 1997 and has remained in storage ever since.
The 140-million-year-old Camarasaurs will likely be the first dinosaur to go to Kansas City.
A cast of his skeleton may eventually be displayed.

There are other fossil labs at museums, but typically they are
demonstration labs and are not involved in real research, said Dean Jernigan, director of science and education at Science City.
Science City will operate the lab, which will be as interactive as possible with a television showing film of actual digs, bones that people can touch and possibly video cameras that visitors can steer around to film different parts of the process, said Dean Jernigan, education director of Science City.
Science City. Employees will cut the plaster and burlap jackets off with saws, then chisel, air-abrade and brush the rock away from the bones.
Then they treat the bones with glues and chemicals filling cracks with putty.
Finally, they will mold and cast the bone.
A paleontologist could work for months to clean and to cast a 5-foot-long Camarasaur femur, for example.
Because of the fragility of the bones, scientists make casts of the bone to be displayed. No other live preparation museum lab in the country does casting, Christopher said.
Jernigan said construction crews should have the laboratory finished by November. The lab should be completely operational by the end of 2005.
by the end of 2009. The lab is being funded by private donations and state and federal grants.
Science City's goal to bring biodiversity to the public has led to the construction of a paleontology lab in Union Station.
The idea was born several years ago with the success of the traveling McDonald's T-Rex exhibit at Science City.

Searching for the right one
C
Elisabeth Brown, Prairie Village freshman, searched for the perfect Mother's Day card yesterday afternoon at the KU Bookstore on the second floor of the Kansas Union. "I don't know if I can make it home so I'm going to mail a card," Brown said. Mother's Day is May 9.
Methodists split on homosexuality
The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH United Methodists rejected a measure yesterday that would have officially acknowledged their divisions over homosexuality while maintaining the church's condemnation of gay sex.
Liberals had proposed adding the watered-down statement to the Methodist Social Principles after years of failing to win support for a more ambitious goal: Eliminating the phrase in the principles that calls homosexuality uncomprehensive with Christian
principles that can be made in
"incompatible with Christian
teaching."
As at previous gatherings of the United Methodist General Conference, conservatives won out.
They argued that adding any language about their internal rift would send mixed signals about the church's stand, giving the impression that the church might diverge from Christianity's traditional condemnation of gay relationships. Delegates agreed, rejecting the liberal proposal on a 527-423 vote, with four abstentions.
"Jesus clearly said from the beginning of creation God made them male and female," said the
Rev. Eddie Fox, who spoke against the measure. "We must not give a message which is confusing to the world and to the people of the United Methodist Church."
Church. Delegates then voted by about 60 percent to 40 percent to add a phrase to the Social Principles that read, "we will seek to live together in Christian community."
The meeting, held once every four years, has been a forum for bitter disagreement over homosexuality since 1972 — though delegates have consistently affirmed prohibitions on gay sex.
The nearly 1,000 delegates in Pittsburgh voted last week to affirm that marriage is the union of a man and a woman.
The day began with gay advocates marching to the convention center where the meeting was being held and dropping to their knees in prayer.
The activists then took their protest inside the meeting, standing silently, praying and holding up colorful stoles that are the symbol of their movement. They began singing Amazing Grace, as the votes were tallied. Some wept when the results were announced.
Committee probes possible abuse of Iraqi prisoners
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) said yesterday "heads will roll" in the scandal over the U.S. military's abuse of Iraqi prisoners.
Roberts, the Republican chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said his panel will question top intelligence officials at a closed hearing this afternoon.
"There will be an investigation, there will be a prosecution, and heads will roll," Roberts said in an interview with The Associated Press. Roberts said it's "going to be a long haul" to undo the damage the abuse has caused to U.S. credibility among Muslims.
"This is going to be a very deplorable chapter in a book that's going to be bookshelved in the Muslim nation library on America for some time," he said. "I think there are many ramifications that could occur. This will endanger American prisoners, and it will and already has given terrorists a tremendous propaganda tool."
Roberts also serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee which met yesterday behind closed doors with Pentagon officials.
Lawmakers said afterward there may have been similar incidents of sexual humiliation and abuses of prisoners at other facilities in Iraq and Afghanistan.
An attorney for a military police officer under investigation has blamed the military intelligence community and other government agencies, arguing the soldiers were following orders. The attorney, Guy Womack, who represents
"This is going to be a very deplorable chapter in a book that's going to be bookshelved in the Muslim nation library on America for some time."
Pat Roberts United States senator
Charles A. Graner Jr., said on NBC's Today show that images of the prisoners "were obviously staged" to manipulate the prisoners into cooperating with intelligence officers.
Roberts said senior commanders of intelligence in the military and the CIA will appear before the intelligence panel.
He wouldn't say who they were but said at least three officials will testify.
Roberts said the intelligence community has a "hard-and-fast rule" about adhering strictly to criteria for treatment and interrogation of prisoners.
"So I am shocked that any allegations would be made that our intelligence community would be involved — although the allegations seem to be directed to, quote, 'local folks in the intelligence business,'" Roberts said. "I don't know who those people are, but we're sure as hell going to find out."
Six military police officers face criminal charges that were filed March 20. Seven others received non-criminal punishment.

World walker to return home after five years
The Associated Press
EMPORIA — After five years of walking, 26 pairs of shoes and a lifetime of experience, Polly Letofsky is almost home.
"I think of it as sort of a postgraduate education," said Letofsky, who has been walking around the world since 1999 to raise awareness for breast cancer.
"There's no way that anyone college-educated for six years has more knowledge about the world than I do history, linguistics, economics."
Graduation day is coming soon. Barring disaster, Letofsky will return home to Vail, Colo., on Aug. 1, exactly five years after she started.
sauried.
She reached Emporia last month and she was well ahead of schedule, so she's been able to dawdle a bit.
But the end of the road is coming. And she's starting to look forward to it.
"I'll miss that adventure."
Letofsky said. "But I'm also excited to stop, get a job and a paycheck, and know I'm going home every night."
Letofsky has wanted to walk around the world since she was 12, when she read a story about a similar globetrotter in the 1920s.
The push to turn the dream into a reality came 25 years later.
More women she knew were getting breast cancer and Letofsky, 41, saw a chance to help a little.
"I don't pretend to be changing the world. But sometimes it's the first time they've heard about it, or the fifth,or the eighth or the 10th That's why we have to keep it in the forefront."
Polly Letofsky World walker for breast cancer
So she walked.
And talked.
And united Depending on the country, shell sometimes raise funds as well, but raising attention is a higher priority.
"I don't pretend to be charging the world," Letofsky said. "But sometimes it's the first time they've heard about it, or the fifth, or the eighth or the 10th. That's why we have to keep it in the forefront."
Some travelers might have chosen to head east and stay in the United States as long as possible before going international.
But Letofsky decided to go west, to get the difficult Mojave Desert out of the way right at the start.
It also meant she could spend much of the early journey in English-speaking countries, because she would be leaving Los Angeles for New Zealand and Australia (by airplane).
At each town, the local Lions would get her to a pub to spread her message.
That decision also got her virtually adopted by the Lions Club in Australia.
"They'd introduce me to everyone at the pub and say 'Give her two minutes!'" she remembered. "We'd pass the hat around, raise $300 and send it all to the Breast Cancer Network."
The message has often had to be tailored to fit cultural norms. In the United States, it's no big deal to suggest touching yourself for a breast exam, but Malaysia was another story.
There, Letofsky made her greatest headway talking to Malaysian men.
"The men have to advocate this (there) and be aware that if you catch it early, there's a 97 percent success rate," she said.
"In many of these area, the women are there to serve the family, and they wouldn't go to a doctor for help. The men were so tired of seeing their wives die prematurely, and they were the ones to get on the bandwagon."
One thing Letofsky stresses is that there's no checklist that can say 'I'll never get breast cancer.'
Eighty percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer, she said, have no known risk factors.
It's not always been a smooth journey.

Part of the problem was avoiding any food that had been washed in the river water:
washed in the water "I survived on oranges, bananas and hard-boiled eggs," she said.
But the rest of it was cultural
"You don't understand the whys or hows of anything," Letofsky said. "You can't depend on anything. For example, it says in the guidebook, if you ask someone a question and they don't know the answer, they'll lie to you. It's an incredible gamble as you decide whether to believe someone at all, which means you can't believe anyone."
Letofsky had been looking for ward to the continent for much of the trip, finally arriving in Greece in July 2002.

Pulling her baggage trolley behind her, Letofsky was mistaken for one of them and virtually shunned.

The campgrounds wouldn't let her pay for a spot.

"It was impossible to find a place to stay." Letofsky said. "A lot of times, I had to find a cornfield and pitch a tent."

She's even ended up sending

She's never thought about turning back or giving up. And it's never been dull.
A tongue-in-cheek list kept by Letofsky notes that she has been interviewed 780 times, taken 15,000 photos, been stopped by police 46 times and received 12 marriage proposals (none accepted).
That doesn't count the more unique moments, such as being in Malaysia on Sept. 11, 2001.
Because it happened late at night by the local time zone, Letofsky heard most of the details on the TV.
Every village, she noted seemed to have a television tuned to CNN, with a crowd of people watching.
Soon enough, she'll be going home with a lot of memories and a lot of assurance.

Art exhibit commemorates Brown v. Board
The Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A new exhibit at Arkansas' seat of justice commemorates the 50th anniversary of the landmark decision that struck down the doctrine of separate-but-equal public schools.
A godson of the lead lawyer in the first phase of the Brown vs. Board of Education case displayed original artwork and offered a presentation yesterday. Carey Wynn's The Lynching of Justice and 54 are part of an exhibition on the decision that is on display at the Arkansas Justice Building.
The exhibit will be up through

Courts
mid-July, focusing on the original trial lawyers — John Scott and his three sons of Topeka.
The exhibit commemorates the 50th anniversary of the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision that declared racial segregation in public education unconstitutional.
"The anniversary of that opinion was sort of a natural thing to focus on," said J.D. Gingerich, director of the Administrative Office of the Courts.
Office of the Court Some of the photographs displayed were gathered by the Arkansas Supreme Court Historical Society for a conference last year on racial justice. Other materials specific to the Brown case were gathered off of the Internet, Gingerich said.
Wynn, an academician and artist from Pine Bluff, is the godson of John Scott, whose firm developed the case challenging the 1896 Plessy vs. Ferguson decision that had set out the separatebut-equal doctrine.
The Brown case was originally
filed in 1951 on behalf of the parents of Linda Brown, of Topeka, and other black students who were recruited by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to challenge the city's assignment of children to elementary schools based on race.
Brown vs. Board was brought before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1952 as a combination of five cases representing nearly 200 hundred plaintiffs from Delaware, Kansas, South Carolina, Virginia and the District of Columbia.
On May 17,1954,the nation's highest court ruled unanimously that separate educational facilities were inherently
unequal and deprived minority children of equal educational opportunities.
opportunity. The nation's first major test of the ruling came three years later in Arkansas when then President Dwight D. Eisenhower dispatched federal troops to enforce a federal desegregation order after Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus called out the state's National Guard to bar nine black children from entering all-white Central High School.
Wynn said his godfather's early work on the Brown case landed him a job as assistant solicitor general in the Eisenhower administration, where he served as one of the president's advisers during the Central High crisis.

Same-sex marriage ban fails
TOPEKA — A proposed constitutional amendment banning gay marriage failed yesterday to win enough House support to submit it to voters.
submit to the vote The vote was 79-45 — five favorable votes fewer than the two-thirds majority needed to approve a proposed change in the Kansas Constitution. The Senate adopted the proposal Saturday on a 27-13 vote.
possibility. The proposal would have added a statement to the Kansas Constitution that Kansas recognizes marriage only between one man and one woman. It also would have denied legal benefits associated with marriage to other domestic arrangements, such as civil unions.
"I would say it's dead," House Speaker Doug Mays, (R-Topeka) said following the vote.
In March, the House adopted a different version of the amendment on an 88-36 vote, but several members switched their votes yesterday.
The proposed amendment, which would have gone to a statewide vote in November, stated:
"The marriage contract is to be considered in law as a civil contract. Marriage shall be constituted by one man and one woman only. All other marriages are declared to be contrary to the public policy of this state and are void.
"No relationship other than a marriage shall be recognized by the state as entailing the parties to the rights or incidents of marriage."
Kansas already has a statute declaring the state's policy of recognizing marriage only as the union of one man and one woman.
Some legislators believe the statute makes the amendment unnecessary, but others say putting the policy into the Kansas Constitution would keep it from being revised by a court or future Legislature.
Proponents also said the state should continue to elevate traditional marriages above other relationships, arguing that traditional marriages form the strongest families and the foundation of American society.
"We either care about marriage or we don't," said Rep. Dan Williams (R-Olathe), who presented the proposed amendment to the House. "It's that simple."

Viewers eager for season finales
Shows wrapped long ago still lure fans to broadcast
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Our free-and-easy standards for what qualifies as truth were mocked on a recent episode of the HBO comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm.
A rabbi invited to Larry David's house for dinner asks if he might bring along a friend, someone he identifies as "a survivor," who would love to meet Larry. After agreeing, Larry decides to try to make the guest feel comfortable by inviting a fellow Nazi camp survivor, his father's chum Solly.
Bat the rabbi's "survivor" turns out to be young, handsome Colby Donaldson from Survior: Outback, who during din-
nere counts the hardships he endured for his 42 days on the show; no snacks; no bathrooms; no footwear by the end but flip-flops.
"Did you see OUR show?" Solly sputters. "It's called The Holocaust!"
Soon they're yelling at each other across the table:
"I'm a survivor!"
"No! I'm a survivor!"
The episode's sardonic message: One survivor is as valid as another (although in some quarters Colby might get extra points for being a celebrity survivor).
Meanwhile, new survivors are always being minted. The latest "sole survivor" will emerge from Sunday's finale of Survivor: All Stars, airing on CBS at 7 p.m. It will be followed at 9 p.m. by a live reunion featuring all 18 of the original competitors (including Colby).
Who will make up the Final Four batting it out for the $1 mil.
lion prize? That is, who will be picked off on the Survivor episode airing Thursday (7 p.m.)? Will it be too-good-to-be-ture Amber Brichk? Oversized Teddy bear Rupert Boneham? Corpone "Big Tom" Buchanan? Chipper mother of twins Jenna Lewis? Or swaggering Rob Mariano?
But that's not the only thing we'll find out Thursday. We'll also learn the destiny of the Friends sextet, thanks to that show's much-anticipated finale (8 p.m.). Will Monica and Chandler get the baby they're longing to adopt? What about the romance between Rachel and Ross? And how will they, Joey and Phoebe cope with their imminent disbandment?
Huge questions. Burning issues. Not that they weren't all settled long ago.
Friends wrapped production in March.
Similarly, the Survivor: All-
Stars contest took place on an island off the Panama coast last November and December. That game was pretty much over for viewers before it began.
Makes no difference. With the unscripted, nonfiction drama series Survivor, no less than with the scripted sitcom Friends, the truth, already history, will be revealed to us under the pretense of immediacy. For us, the outcome won't exist until the show goes on the air. The truth won't exactly set us free. But it will get us to tune in.
A just-published novel by David Freeman has a provocative title: It's All True. How true! Today, "truth" is a malleable, all-purpose label, like "brand-new" or "organic." It coexists too comfortably with lies, while the barrier between them gets more flimsy and porous. Truth is just another pretense at a time when, by one reckoning, "our culture has become a show."
OutKast rapper uses fame to rally voters
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Andre 3000 of the rap duo OutKast said that when it came to voting, he'd been negligent, but things will be different this November.
"Stuff came up," the 28-year
old, whose real name is Andre
Benjamin, told The Atlanta J
ournal Constitution.
"I was out of town, I couldn't see how my vote would matter. It just wasn't that important to me," he said.
But Benjamin, one of dozens
"I was out of town, I couldn't see how my vote would matter. It just wasn't that important to me."
Andre 3000
OutKastmember
of entertainers taking part in a voting promotion, said he has "realized just how important it is."
"I'm really excited about voting for the first time," the Atlanta native said for an article published yesterday.
Benjamin recently hosted an event for "Declare Yourself," a national nonprofit group that has raised $27 million to try to reverse the trend of a declining youth vote.
In 2000, only 36 percent of Americans ages 18 to 24 voted in the presidential election, census figures show.
That compares with 50 percent in 1972, the year voter eligibility dropped from age 21 to 18.
"Sometimes entertainers — movie stars and rappers — have even more power than politicians. Sometimes all it takes is one or two people in the public eye to get people to vote," said Benjamin.
He and OutKast partner Antwan Patton, better known as Big Boi, have been involved since 2000 with Rock the Vote, a national group founded in 1990 that partners with MTV's Choose or Lose campaign.
NEW YORK — Impressive ratings for NBC's earthquake tale, 10.5, helped the network eke out a victory over CBS in the first week of the important May ratings sweeps.
Earthquake series sets tone of sweeps
The Associated Press
Despite poor reviews, part one of the miniseries about a catastrophic California earthquake was seen by 20.7 million viewers on Sunday.
That was the highest-rated movie on NBC in five years.
The ratings held up for the second part on Monday, drawing 19.6 million viewers.
NBC averaged 12.1 million viewers in prime time for the week, beating CBS' 11.8 million (both 7.9 ratings, 13 shares).
The second-to-last episode of Friends was seen by 24.5 million viewers last Thursday.
NBC easily won among viewers aged 18-to-49, the demographic group it most cares about.
NBC is expecting more than twice as many viewers to show up for the series finale this week.
Hit-starved ABC had a rare appearance in Nielsen's top 20 with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, with 13.1 million viewers.
Last Thursday's edition of Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital drew shockingly bad numbers, though, seen by less than 2.6 million viewers. Powered by American Idol, Fox earned third place with an 8.9 million prime-time average (5.6 rating, 9 share).
ABC had 7.9 million (5,2,9),
the WB had 3.7 million (2,5,4).

UPN had 2.7 million (1.9,3) and Pax TV had 950,000 (0.7,1).
NBC's Nightly News won the evening news ratings race, averaging 9.5 million viewers (6.6 rating, 14 share).
ABC's World News Tonight had 8.5 million (6.1, 13) and the CBS Evening News had 6.8 million (4.9, 10).
A ratings point represents 1.084.000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 108.4 million TV homes.

SQUIRREL BY WES BENSON
Have you ever thought about having sex with a piece of fruit?
No.
Yeah, me neither.
CAPTAIN RIBMAN BY SPRENGELMEYER & DAVIS
...AND ALMOST CERTAINTY THERE WILL BE A MAJOR EARTHQUake IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN THE COMING WEEKS.
OH, NO! MY GRANDPARENTS LIVE THERE!
LIVED. LET'S GO AHEAD AND BEGIN REFERING TO THEM IN THE PAST TENSE.
HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (May 5).
You're pretty good at buying and selling, bartering and saving, and this year you'll get a lot of practice. You could end up fabulously wealthy. But there are changes taking place that are beyond your control. Be as careful about your saving as you are about your spending.
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Today is an 8. You'd love to get out and stir up some dust. However, there's work that must be completed on time, and there's a change in the orders. You're smart and quick, so find a way to have it all.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is an 8. Have a meeting with someone who shares many of your hopes and your dreams. If you don't know a person like that, this is a good day to find one. This doesn't have to be a lover, but it does have to be a friend.
Gemini (May 21-June 21).
Today is a 5. Don't let yourself get distracted, but you can share the burden with someone else. You've promised to do something, but you don't have to do it alone.
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
Today is a 9. Romance is more than just candlelit dinners. True love is also involved in big projects, and now is a good time to make plans.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22).
Today is a 5. A good, clean argument can clear the air and clear space for love. Say what you feel, keeping a long-term relationship in mind.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7. Be careful what you say if the subject is someone else's money. It's best to keep financial dealings confidential now, especially the hot stuff.
Libra (Sept.23-Oct.22)
Today is a 6. Looks like you're in a situation where what you already know isn't enough. If what you're doing isn't working, whom should you ask? One who has what you want, of course.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21).
Today is an B. You and your partner have unspoken bond, communicating without talking. That might come in handy, because the words you speak today could come out wrong. If it's already happened, say "sorry."
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 6. You'll soon have a little more control of the situation. It's partly because you're the wisest one in the group, partly because the others will get frustrated and take off. Try something that the others wouldn't.
Today is a 9. Once you've figured out the basics of your plan, give it a while to ferment. You'll notice the things that might go wrong before you try them. You'll also be able to tell if the whole thing stinks.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18).
Today is a 5. Later tonight or tomorrow, you can get together with friends and tell them everything you've been saving for just the right time. That won't be during working hours, of course.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
Today is an 8. Follow your intuition and your curiosity. Either one could lead you to a fascinating place. Skills you've already acquired can be put to good use. Take on more authority and bring in a little more cash.

Bill grants immigrants cheap tuition
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — A bill offering some illegal immigrants a tuition break at Kansas' public colleges and universities cleared the Legislature yesterday and headed to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who plans to sign it.
The House voted 68-54 for the measure, which won Senate passage earlier this year.
Sebelius issued a statement explaining why she will sign the measure into law.
"In the long-run, we will be a stronger state." the Democratic governor said. "We need to open the doors of our colleges and universities to all our high school
graduates."
The proposal extends in-state tuition, which is lower than tuition for nonresidents, to illegal immigrants who have attended a Kansas high school at least three years and graduated or earned a general educational development certificate in Kansas.
To receive the cheaper tuition, an immigrant would have to be actively seeking legal immigration status or plan to do so as soon as he or she were eligible.
Proponent contended that many of the immigrants who will benefit have lived and attended schools in Kansas for years and intend to remain in the state.
"These young people consider
themselves Kansans," said Rep. Sue Storm, (D-Overland Park). "They're going to work in Kansas. They want to be part of us."
they want to be part Kansas residents pay substantially less than students from outside the state at public universities. In the current semester, for example, in-state tuition for 15 credit hours at Kansas State University is $1,755, compared to $5,700 for undergraduates from other states.
Opponents argued that the proposal would reward lawbreakers and perhaps even aid terrorists.
"If terrorists come to get a pilot's license at a Kansas university, at least we gave them in-state
tuition before they used it against us," Rep. Scott Schwab, R-Olathe, said sarcastically, drawing boos from some in the chamber.
"The bottom line is we are rewarding people who are in violation of federal law," Mays said after the vote.
House Speaker Doug Mays, R Topeka, was among the opponents.
Mays had refused to allow the issue to come to a vote this year, but proponents forced his hand yesterday by threatening to block action on a budget cleanup bill. The cleanup bill supplements the $10.3 billion budget already signed into law for the fiscal year that starts July 1.
Bonus charges likely for car thief
The Associated Press
OLATHE - A man charged with stealing a $35,000 Cadillac, who was caught after police tracked the car down using its Global Positioning System device, could face additional charges after giving police a false name, prosecutors said.
Scott Thomas Hazel gave police a different name following his arrest, The Kansas City Star is reporting in its Wednesday's editions. Hazel was charged and booked into the Johnson County jail Mondayas Reginald M. Collier.
Collier is actually an employee of the Johnson County Department of Corrections. He learned of his "arrest" after receiving calls Tuesday from people who had seen media accounts of the car theft.
Hazel and Catherin M. Curns,
38, of Kansas City, Mo., appeared
in Johnson County District Court
on Monday on one count each of
criminal use of a credit card, felony
theft and misdemeanor theft. Colliers' bond was set at $25,000 and
Curns' was set at $10,000.

Officers found the wallet and credit cards in the Cadillac on Saturday after tracking it to a Merriam, Kan., parking lot.
Police found the suspects based on descriptions from the dealership's employees.
OnStar workers turned on the car's alarm so police could find it when they drove into the lot.
Sony comes out with Internet music download service
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Sony Corp. entered the burgeoning digital music market yesterday, launching an online music download service that the electronics and media conglomerate is banking will also generate sales for its line of portable audio players.
"They're behind the curve already and they have to play catch-up on two fronts, on selling their audio players and getting people to use their music service."
The service, dubbed Sony Connect, offers more than 500,000 tracks from artists on major and independent labels. Like Napster 2.0 and the iTunes Music Store from Apple Computer Inc., Sony

Connect sells individual tracks starting at 99 cents and full album downloads beginning at $1.99.
without beginning Sony's entry into the online
subscription services. Like Apple, which used its online music sales as a way to drive sales of its iPod digital players. Sony hopes to turn a profit for its own array of audio players.
music market comes more than a year since the launch of iTunes and months behind about a dozen other pay music sites and
But doing so will depend largely on whether Sony can draw music fans who have not already invested in iPods or other music players, which cannot play song files in Sony's ATRAC3 format.
"They're behind the curve already and they have to play catch-up on two fronts, on selling their audio players and getting
people to use their music service," said Michael Goodman, senior analyst with the Yankee Group in Boston. "There's roughly three to four million people that have already placed that bet."
Officials at Santa Monica-based Sony Connect Inc., which runs the service, say the online market is still developing and there is room for Sony to scoop up market share.
"Apple did an excellent job in cultivating this new market," said spokesman Mack Araki. "We
believe we can expand the market to a much broader audience with a broader line of devices and an easy to use service."
Apple has about 30 percent share of the overall portable digital music player market, which includes players that play protected content sold by the online services and players that can only play MP3s or other unsecured song files, Goodman said.
Apple's share of portable players that can play legally purchased music files is between 80 percent and 90 percent, he said.

Self tells it like it was,will be
By Ryan Greene

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's basketball team is coming off of an up-and-down season, but at the same time, looking towards one of the more anticipated campaigns in the program's recent history. In his time between recruiting and preparing for the 2004-05 season, Kansas coach Bill Self sat down with The Kansan's Ryan Greene to discuss the season that was and the season that will be.
Ryan Greene: Who did you see as the most pleasant surprise this season?
most pleasant surprise this season.
Bill Self: I think all the guys got better as the season went on, but I think, without question, J.R. (Giddens) was the most improved from start to finish.
I was hopeful that he would do what he
did, but that was being very optimistic. In a strange way, Michael Lee's injury sped up the process. We were thinking that maybe we could bring him along slow, and by the time conference play came around and everything he would be ready to have more of a role. But with Mike's injury, there was no question he had to be thrown in there, and he certainly responded very well. Greene: When Jeff Graves was having his issues during the season, how close were you to dismissing him from the team?
Self: We certainly talked about that more than once. Jeff was a multiple offender of very secondary infractions. He never intentionally did anything to try and hurt the team, but his lack of responsibility on being timely certainly warranted thoughts of what do we need to do. Do we need to punish him for every time he's late or do we need to
make a bolder stand? We suspended him for two games, and then the second suspension against Nebraska, we probably lost that game before the game ever occurred because of the morale of our team and our health. Greene: On that same subject, when you guys were in your funk in January and February, which of those losses was the hardest for you to watch or the most frustrating for you to coach?
Self: All of them were frustrating, but Iowa State, we had a lead and didn't hang on. Oklahoma State we played miserably. Nebraska we played miserably. And then Texas we tried, but they were just better than us. Personally, it was probably the Nebraska game. After the Oklahoma State game I thought we'd really come back and play with

"In 23 years of coaching, he's the best third baseman I've coached," coach Ritch Price said.
Kansas broke the scoreless tie in the bottom half of the third.

Sophomore short-stop Ritchie Price singled, and senior first baseman Ryan Baty (4-for-5, 2RBIs) doubled in both runners. Ryan Baty was then driven in by Metcalf's

All-Big 12 football preview

Some might expect to see Missouri's mobile quarterback, Brad Smith, in this spot, but Smith is an overrated passer, and all White did was win the Heisman Trophy last season.

Texas' Vince Young could also be a factor in this spot.

NCAA rewards academics
By Joe Bant
jbant@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
NCAA Division One Board of Directors meeting last week was about more than just revoking men's basketball's five-and-eight rule.
Historical penalties will be reserved for offenses that occur over time, and could consist of scholarship reductions, recruiting limitations, post-season ineligibility and restricted member status in the NCAA. The NCAA will begin assigning these penalties in the 2006-2007 academic year.
The board did vote to remove the rule, which limited the amount of scholarships basketball teams could award during a one and two-year period. But it also passed academic reforms unprecedented in the history of the NCAA.
Contemporaneous penalties will respond to specific offenses, such as the inability to fill a scholarship slot that opens up when a player becomes academically ineligible. The NCAA will begin assigning these penalties in the 2005-2006 academic year.
"The NCAA in the past has never said we're going to rate you on the basis of how successful you are academically," said University of Kansas Chancellor Robert Hemenway, who is chairman of the board.
Conversely, the NCAA will award programs that enjoy significant academic success. Hemenway said the details of the process were still being worked out, but awards could possibly consist of additional scholarships or having additional recruiting visits.
The reform program, known as the "incentives/disincentives program," will use graduation rates and an NCAA-calculated Academic Progress Rate to determine the academic viability of athletics programs.
Starting with this academic year, the NCAA will begin to compile data on the academic strength of athletics programs, and it will use that data to punish programs that are academically weak and to reward those that are strong.
Programs that fail to meet this standard will be punished by the NCAA, which will respond with two kinds of penalties — historical and contemporaneous.
"There will be considerable incentive for coaches and athletics programs to put their athletes on a path to graduate," Hemenway said.
Athletes must make 20 percent progress towards a degree each year to stay eligible.
Hemenway said the progress rate will award points for athletes staying academically eligible and continuing to make progress toward a degree.

Royals rack up another loss as Blue Jays win at home
BASEBALL
TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays won at home for just the second time this season, beating the Kansas City Royals 5-4 last night behind a shaky Pat Hentgen and a strong bullpen.
Hentgen (1-2) nearly squandered a 5-0 lead, allowing four runs and six hits in five innings.
Micheal Nakarnura followed with three perfect innings, and Jason Frasor finished with a one-hit ninth for his first major league save.
Darrell May (0-4), who missed his previous scheduled start because of a strained left groin, allowed five runs and seven hits in seven innings. He has lost five straight decisions.
Toronto took a 4-0 lead in the second on Chris Gomez's two-run single, Reed Johnson's RBI double and Frank Catalanotto's sacrifice fly. Johnson homeered off May in the fourth.
Kansas City closed in the fifth on Desi Relaford's RBI double, Angel Berroa's two-run double and Joe Randa's runscoring single.
Johnson ended a 0-for-11 slump with his double in the second and went 2-for4.
Toronto acquired Canadian minor league INF Stubby Clapp from the Cleveland Indians for a player to be named.

St. Louis squeezes by Philly in eighth
The Associated Press
With the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth, closer Jason Isringhausen struck out Pat Burrell swinging at a high fastball.
PHILADELPHIA — Mike Matheny saved St. Louis with a super play behind the plate, and the Cardinals held off the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 last night.
The ball deflected off Matheny's glove, but the two-time Gold Glove winner chased it down. With no play at the plate, he fired a long throw to first, getting Burrell by a half-step and preserving the victory.
Scott Rolen and Jim Edmonds each drove in two runs for St. Louis.
Bobby Abreu hit two of Philadelphia's four homers. Jim Thome and Burrell also connected.
Five Cardinals relievers combined for four scoreless innings.
Chris Carpenter (2-1) got the win despite allowing all four homers and five earned runs in five innings.
Phillies starter Brett Myers (0-2) had another subpar outing, allowing 10 hits and six runs in 5 2-3 innings. Myers has not gone more than six innings this year. His ERA is 6.64.
With the Cardinals ahead 5-2 in the fifth, Abreu, Thome and Burrell hit consecutive home runs to tie it. It was the fifth time in franchise history the Phillies hit three in a row.
Mike Lieberhalter narrowly missed a two-run homer in the eighth when his drive off Julian Tavarez sailed several feet wide of the left-field foul pole. Lieberhalth then grounded out.
St. Louis regained the lead in the bottom half on an RBI grounder by Tony Womack that scored Marlon Anderson also a former Phillie.
Bulger signs multi-year Rams contract
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Marc Bulger agreed yesterday to a four-year contract with the St. Louis Rams — a deal that could affect whether two-time NFL MVP Kurt Warner will be released next month.
The Rams did not disclose terms of the deal with Bulger, who coach Mike Martz has said would enter the preseason as the team's starting quarterback.
In a statement announcing Bulger's new contract, the Rams made no mention of Warner's status. Last week, Martz said "at this point, our focus (is) to get something done with Marc and we'll take the next step from there."
Bulger won his first six starts in 2002 and led the team to a 12-4 record and an NFC West championship last year, then was the MVP in the Pro Bowl after throwing the record four touchdowns.
in 15 starts last season. Bulger threw for an NFC-best 3,845 yards on 336-of 532 passing, with 22 touchdowns and 22 interceptions for an 81.4 passer rating.
Bulger, taken by the New Orleans Saints in the sixth round of the 2000 draft out of West Virginia, also gained 75 yards on 29 carries in 2003, with his four touchdown runs the most the most by a Rams' quarterback since Pat Haden had four in 1974.
While suggesting there's still a chance Warner could stay with the team next season, Martz said last month that discussions on a long-term deal with Bulger could impact what happened, with reaching a deal increasing the likelihood
of Warner leaving the team.
Warner's agent, Mark Bartelstein, said last night that his client expected to be released after June 1 — and that he doubted Warner would be willing to play backup to Bulger or take a salary cut to stay with the Rams.
Bartelstein said that since the Rams gave Warner permission to shop his skills elsewhere in the NFL, "we've talked to a number of teams, and there's certainly a lot of interest." Bartelstein declined to elaborate.
Expos win two in a row as Rockies lose
The Associated Press
MONTREAL — Terrmel Sledge hit his first career homer, Endy Chavez had a three-run shot and the Montreal Expos broke out of a season-long slump with a 10-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies last night.
Jose Vidro also connected for Montreal, which won consecutive games for
just the second time this year.
The Expos lost nine of 10 before a 6-4 win at Los Angeles on Sunday, when they matched their previous season high for runs. The Expos (7-20) hit three homers yesterday for the second straight game. They had a major league low — 55 runs coming in.
Sledge had his first three-hit game as Montreal got a season-high 14 hits.
Jeromy Burnitz and Royce Clayton homered off Claudio Vargas (2-1) for Colorado. The Rockies have 40 homers, including 16 in their 10 road games this season.
The Expos matched their season highs with four runs and five hits in the first inning. Orlando Cabrera put Montreal up 2-1 after Burnitz tied it.
In the fifth, Vargas sacrificed Sledge,
and Chavez hit a drive to make it 5-1.
Cabrera hit a run-scoring double after Brad Wilkerson's single.He allowed six runs and eight hits in five innings.
Sledge hit a two-run homer in the sixth to put Montreal up 8-1.
Matt Holliday hita leadoff double and scored on Brian Hawpe's RBI single to make it 8-2. Two outs later, Clayton hit a two-run homer on Vargas' 125th pitch to draw the Rockies within four.

SELF: Expectations for next year still high, but fairer
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
nre, and I think we were really on our way to doing that. Then, of course, Jeff was disciplined again and J.R. was also hurt that game. I think he only played 10 minutes. Greene: Do you think that game would have been different had Jeff played?
Self. I think that if a coach says a game would have been different, then they're not giving respect to the team that beat your butt. But there's no guarantees. I think with a better frame of mind, we would have had a better chance to win that game.
Greene: What did you consider to be the season's highest point?
Self: Probably two games.
When we beat Pacific to go to the Sweet 16 or winning at Missouri.
Greene: When the season came to a close, how many guys did you realistically think were considering transferring? With David and Omar, did you ever get the feeling during the season that maybe they were unhappy?
Self. Certainly Moulaye and Omar came as no surprise. We anticipated that for a lot of reasons. The only one that came as a surprise, obviously, was David. The other ones were expected just because of what was important to them and their roles here with this team. Personally, I don't want to talk about David. I think it's not fair to him or to me to rehash things. But what transpired at the end based on what we had visited about came as a surprise. Certainly, I wouldn't say it was a complete shock, but it was a surprise.
Greene: Just one other question about him. There was a lot of speculation that criticism from fans played a role in his decision. What's your take?
Self: When you talk about criticism, fans should never criticize players. Ever. If they give bad effort, of course we understand. We have never been in a situation where I felt unrest with our fans at home. Certainly we played where there was unrest on the road, but I have never felt any negativity from our fans towards our players. For all we know, those could be Missouri fans calling into the
newspaper. It is disappointing if any fan would criticize a guy out there trying. I know me personally, I'm really proud of our fans. I'd much prefer they criticize coaching instead of the players, because they are just young people trying to make it. But I don't think that would have any impact.
Greene: With that gap now in the lineup, how ready are Sasha Kaun and Darnell Jackson going to be to contribute as freshman?
Self. I have no idea, but I expect those guys to contribute. We're not taking a step backwards, I'll tell you that. The thing is, instead of worrying about what you don't have, relish in the fact that you have Simien, Langford, Miles, Giddens and Lee. Those are the guys you're thankful that you have. With our new recruiting and an additional recruit or two, I can't believe that this team next year won't be a little more versatile than this year's team.
Greene: Did J.R. ever entertain thoughts of putting his name in the NBA Draft?
Self. To my knowledge, no. A lot of guys have made some very wise decisions to come back, and I'd say J.R. definitely fits that category.
Greene: A lot of people say he'll be one of the most watched sophomores by scouts next year. Do you think he'll be able to shoulder that?
Self: The great thing about J.R. is that he has Keith, Aaron and Wayne. He has the upperclassmen to lean on. I think that'll be very, very positive for him.
Greene: Speaking of Aaron, with the way he carried the team in the tournament — especially with the health of your team — where does he compare with some of the great point guards you've coached like Frank Williams and Dee Brown?
will really need to watch out for?
Self: Aaron is the best open-court point guard I've ever had. Frank was a scorer first, passer second. Aaron's a true point guard. He thinks of others scoring before himself. He's the purest point guard I've had.
Greene: Who's the one returning reserve you think next year people
Self. I'd say there's two. I would say Jeremy Case and I would say Michael Lee. As good as Michael was as a sophomore and this year, working around his injury, I think there's a full season Mike's going to put together that he hasn't had the chance to yet. I think with Jeremy it's strength and confidence. I really think he's going to be a good player.
Greene: Roy called him the best pure shooter he ever recruited. Do you see that potential?
Self: Yeah, I do see potential like that. I see him being a Terry Brown-type of guy. When he's playing well and confident and gets a little bigger, I can see him being a Boschee-type guy, but not playing the number of minutes Boschee played.
Greene: With Norm Roberts going to St. John's, how does that change your recruiting?
Self: It doesn't. We'll adjust roles, but Norm going to St. John's was the best thing that's happened this offseason in my eyes. He deserves it and certainly he'll be missed. The thing about it is that we've now had six coaches in seven years get jobs, so it always puts your program in a little bit of a quandry for a month or two or whatever, but it always seems to work itself out. I think you want guys to work for you who have aspirations of being a head coach.
Greene: Everyone knows there's the focus on Malik Hairston, C.J. Giles and Alex Galindo for next year, but do you have any junior college guys on your radar?
Self: You know Giles I can't comment on. He hasn't been released yet. Everybody's speculating, but nobody's ever heard us commenting on Giles. I get such a kick out of these guys saying this crap. Well who do you get this from? "Oh wewink. We're speculating." That's bullshit. You shouldn't be speculating.
We did have some JUCO guys on the radar screen up to about a month ago, but at that time we thought we'd be returning a different team.
Greene : Looking two years from now, with Wayne, Keith and Aaron gone, is there a lot of pressure for a big recruiting class next year?
Self: I think that finishing this year strong and having a stellar recruiting class next year is the key in not taking any steps backwards. I think in recruiting, the never-ending deal, you could never ever take years off, so I think it's important that we have strong back-to-back classes. We need to be in a position where we have eight or nine freshmen and sophomores that are major contributors following next year. We are in a position to do that if things fall right.
Greene: You've dealt with heavy preseason expectations before multiple times. What are you going to take from those experiences towards next season?
Self: I think expectations last year were more off the charts than they will be next year. Not very often do you lose two lottery picks and then people project you to be contenders. Not that we should ever back away from that, that wasn't very fair. There's no question that early in the season we were good, and through December to February 15, we were just average — we were a top-25 team. After that, we played to what people in the preseason expected. You finish ranked ninth in America, you go to the Elite Eight and you finish second in the league, and if you told us that at the start of the season knowing what we knew as a staff with our health, these guys would play their butts off. We did play to our expectations. Next year, expectations will still be high, but they'll be more fair.
Self. It was difficult, it always is. We thought that playing Oklahoma State again — naturally they kicked our butts the first time — we were totally different. We knew them, and we thought we could have had an edge from a mental standpoint in that game. That was difficult.
Greene: How hard was it to be there watching the Final Four?

Basketball star may choose Cowboys
The Associated Press
"They really want him, and they did a good job coming in and recruiting him," Curry's high school coach, John Moon, told the Tulsa World.
JamesOn Curry, who visited campus last weekend, could sign as early as Tuesday, according to reports.
STILLWATER, Okla. — The leading scorer in North Carolina high school basketball history appears ready to sign with Oklahoma State after the Tar Heels rescinded his scholarship because of a drug conviction.
Curry, a 6-foot-3 guard,
pleaded guilty April 5 to six felony counts; two each of possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana; two each of the sale of marijuana and two each of delivering marijuana.
North Carolina coach Roy Williams pulled his scholarship offer two days later. He was kicked off his high school team after his February arrest.
Curry, 18, was sentenced to 36 months of probation; various fines, including $600 for lab fees to test the marijuana; $200 in court costs and 200 hours of community service.
Moon said he believes Curry's legal troubles were a one-time mistake.
Curry scored 3,307 points at Eastern Alamance High School,
averaged 40.3 points per game
and scored 40 points or more 24
times. He holds 14 North Carolina high school records.
Curry would join Julius Lamptey and Aaron Pettway in the Cowboys' recruiting class.

ACADEMICS:
Graduation rate focus of reform
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1R
The NCAA has not determined what the threshold will be in terms of what kind of academic performance will warrant punishments or rewards. It will set specific standards after it examines the data it collects from this year and next year.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs, said the reforms were a step in the right direction.
"The intent is to make sure student-athletes progress toward a degree, which everyone is in favor of." Marchiony said.
Marchiony said Kansas was already in a good position in its academic strength. By last year, 68 percent of scholarship athletes who were KU freshmen in 1996 had graduated.
Marchiony said the emphasis on the new reforms would cause people to refocus and rededicate themselves.
Hemenway said the main change at Kansas could be the possibility of rewards for academic success. Nevertheless, he said there would always be room for improvement.
"Kansas has not graduated 100 percent of our student-athletes." Hemenway said. "That is what our goal is."

BIG 12: Best of the defense for All-Big 12 team
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
and tackle the previous two seasons. DEFENSE
DEFENSE
Defensive Line: Dusty Dvoracek, Dan Cody, Oklahoma, Rodrigue Wright, Texas, and Adell Duckett, Texas Tech. Duckett and Cody are the two best pass-rushing defensive ends in the conference. Duckett had 14 sacks last season, while Cody had 10. Wright and Dvoracek are two of the best defensive tackles in the nation. Dvoracek had 14.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks last season despite playing in Lombardi Award winner Tommie Harris' shadow. Wright had seven sacks while playing second fiddle to Marcus Tubbs, a first-round draft pick. Both players are extremely active and should contend for All-America honors. Johnny Jolly, Texas A&M, and C.J. Mosley, Missouri, could both contend for All-Big 12 honors.
Linebacker: Lance Mitchell, Oklahoma, Derrick Johnson, Texas, and Banks Floodman, Kansas
Mitchell may have been the best middle linebacker in the country last year before blowing out his knee. He returns for his senior season hoping to lead the Sooners defense after massive personnel losses. If he is 100 percent, he's a monster capable of being a first-round NFL Draft pick. If he's at 70 percent, he's still the best middle linebacker in the Big 12. Johnson is a speed demon who makes big plays, including 19 tackles for
loss last year. He might be the best outside linebacker in the nation. Two seasons removed from a major knee injury. Floodman looked strong this spring. He is the most physically talented of Kansas' three junior starting linebackers and is primed for a breakout season. Gabe Toomey, Kansas, Barrett Ruud, Nebraska, Marvin Simmons, Kansas State, and James Kinney, Missouri, could also slide onto the first team.
Defensive Back: Fabian Washington, Josh Bullocks, Nebraska, Antonio Perkins, Oklahoma, and laxton Appel, Texas A&M
Perkins and Washington are the shut-down cornerbacks every team desires. Perkins also makes big plays when he gets the ball in his hands and is always a threat return an interception for a touchdown. Washington had 10 passes defended and four interceptions. Bullocks and Appel are ball-hawking safeties with different specialties. Bullocks intercepted a nation-leading 10 passes in 2003, while Appel is a hard-hitter who had 135 tackles last season.
Darrent Williams, Oklahoma State, and Donte Nicholson, Oklahoma, will also have big seasons.
Kicker; Trey DiCarlo, Oklahoma
DiCarlo was second in the Big 12 in scoring Iast season, and should rank among the leaders yet again. He gets more chances than anybody else due to Oklahoma's offensive efficiency. He
hit on 19 of his 22 field goals last season. Keith Toogood, Texas Tech, has the name and the game to keep up.
Punter: Cole Farden, Oklahoma State
Kick Returner; Perkins, Oklahoma
The thunder-legged Farden averaged 43.2 yards per punt last season. His punts are high and allow for great coverage. Oklahoma State finished third in net punting yards.
Perkins started off the year with a record-setting performance against UCLA, and finished the season with four punt returns for touchdowns. If teams kick away from him, they run the risk of shanking it and giving Oklahoma great field position. If they kick it to him, he might return it for six. Uber speed-demon Jeremy Bloom will challenge for this position if he gets the opportunities.
All-Purpose: Charles Gordon, Kansas
The sky is the limit. Gordon has All-Big 12 potential at wide receiver, cornerback and punt returner. Right now, it looks like Gordon will play cornerback, and he could develop into one of the top cover corners in the conference. Even if he does play defense, look for him to get 10 plays on offense per game and touch the ball through special teams. Regardless of where he plays, he is a dangerous weapon the Jayhawks can exploit.

Roddick defeated on clay in Italy
The Associated Press
ROME — Andy Roddick's visit to Rome was a rough one, starting with a fire in his hotel and ending with a first-round upset in the Italian Open.
"It's tough to put it out of your mind. You know it's going to creep in," Roddick said after losing to Guillermo Canas in straight sets yesterday.
The U.S. Open champion was beaten 7-6 (7), 6-1, wasting three set points in the tiebreaker, then putting up little
resistance in the second set. Not the kind of performance Roddick hoped for in his preparation for the French Open, the only Grand Slam tournament played on clay.
Three tourists died in a dawn fire Saturday in the five-star hotel where Roddick and several other players and tennis officials were staying.
They were evacuated and moved to another hotel.
as a distraction.
On court, Roddick said, "I was rushing things. I definitely don't think I put forth my best effort today, so it's a little disappointing."
In contrast, top-ranked Roger Federer, playing his first clay-court tournament of the year, kept focused and eliminated Jonas Bjorkman 7-6 (4), 6-3. Federer was a finalist in Rome last year and has since won Wimbledon and the Australian Open.
Also advancing were last year's Italian champion, unseeded Bally
Mantilla, No. 8 Nicoles Massu,
No. 12 Jiri Novak and No. 14
Martin Verkerk.
Roddick was erratic, committing 35 unforced errors to only 11 for Canas, who won the first set when Roddick netted a shot at his feet.
"I played well, within my level," said Canas—who was described by Roddick as "not the ideal opponent you'd want to play if you're having an off day."
Canas pulled away in the second set, breaking Roddick's serve three times.

Tony Lewis, freshman third baseman for Southwest Missouri State, bobbled the ball in yesterday's game at Hoglund Ballpark. Kansas lost 11-8 after allowing seven runs in the ninth inning.
BASEBALL: Poor finish cements Jayhawk loss in final innings
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Knippschild loaded the bases. Knippschild was pulled, and southpaw Ken Livesey came into pitch. After Livesey walked two batters on nine pitches, junior Scott Sharpe was brought in. With no outs in the inning, Sharpe walked another batter to make the score 8-7 Kansas.
Sharpe was pulled after just one batter and red shirt freshman Ryotaro Hayakawa was brought in for his fourth appearance of the season. Hayakawa's first pitch was doubled off the right field wall to give SMS the 9-8 lead. The Bears' Tony Lewis finished the
game 4-for-5 and capped off the inning with a two-run single. When the top of the ninth was over, the score was 11-8 in favor of SMS.
The Jayhawks were held scoreless in the bottom of the ninth and handed the loss. The loss dropped Kansas to 26-26-1 on the season and moves SMS to 26-20.
"We haven't been able to finish a game," coach Price said. "That's about as devastating as a game can be."
Kansas will next face the No.2 ranked Texas Longhorns on a three-game road trip beginning Friday.

Athens prepares for upcoming Olympic Summer Games
The Associated Press
ATHENS, Greece — The sprint to the Olympics is being run through an obstacle course.
Frantic work — including on the main stadium — slogs on in mud, through rainstorms and at night. Roads and squares are ripped up for repaving or new rail lines. Cement mixers and cranes snarl city traffic. Whirlwinds of dust spin through neighborhoods.
Ready or not, the Athens Games will start 100 days from today.
"My major challenge is the same as that faced by everybody else involved in games preparations: Stay focused and make ever
minute count, because we don't have a moment to lose," chief Athens Olympics organizer Gianna Angelopulos-Daskalaki sai'.
Preparations for these games have been racked by delays and glitches. And for Athens' 4 million residents, the frustrations and burdens of living in a giant work-in-progress could get worse before the Aug. 13-29 Olympics begin.
The International Olympic Committee arrives Monday for its last major inspection visit, hoping everything comes together in the days ahead.
"We won't have much time before the games, that is for sure," Denis Oswald, the top IOC overseer of Athens' preparations, told
The Associated Press. "Some time ago, we were also fearing that things would be ready only after the games. Now we are confident that everything will be finished before the games."
but just how soon before is still an open question.
Oswald and the IOC want all venues finished by the end of June. That applies even to the main stadium's new roof, whose two huge arches still must be moved into place. Attempts to glide the two sides in place could begin later this week.
Other key projects, including a new tram line, are not expected to be ready until less than a month before the opening ceremony. And progress on a roof for the
swimming pool was so far behind, it was scrapped altogether.
“Our experts who have reviewed these plans say, 'Yes, it's feasible. It can be done.'” Oswald said. “But as long as it’s not done, you never know if any unexpected difficulty will arise.”
IOC president Jacques Rogge put Athens organizers on notice that he expects some welcome surprises during next week's visit.
"I look forward to hearing more news from them of how much is being accomplished in a short time," Rogge said.
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
When Athens was awarded the Olympics in 1997, organizers boasted that 70 percent of the
venues were in place. The Athens Games, the IOC was assured, would be organized on a "human scale," without grandiose or cumbersome projects.
But the system couldn't shake its old habits. The Socialist government, which was ousted in elections in March, let three years slip by with little progress on Olympic work.
The IOC began to panic. In 2000, then-IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch publicly scolded Athens for the delays.
Then came Sept. 11, 2001. Those attacks — and later terrorist strikes in Turkey and Spain — turned the Athens Games into the biggest security effort in Olympics history. The price tag
The overall Olympic budget is already more than $1 billion above the planned $$5.5 billion.
has reached nearly $1.2 billion
and could rise if threats escalate
For the first time, the IOC took out cancellation insurance, which protects against a terrorist attack, earthquakes and other natural disasters. The $170 million policy would give the IOC, national Olympic committees and sports federations enough money to continue operations.
"We are doing everything which is humanly possible to have the maximum security," Athens Mayor Dora Bakoyiani said. "We have to show that modern Greece is able to organize very good Olympic Games."

THE REALITY OF HUMAN EXISTENCE
A life is not just a body, but a journey of exploration and discovery. As we navigate through the complexities of our existence, we must embrace our humanity and learn to appreciate the beauty of the world around us.
In this video, we will explore the different aspects of human existence and discover how it shapes our understanding of the world. We will look at the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cultural dimensions of our existence, and how they contribute to our overall well-being.
As we delve into these themes, we will reflect on the ways in which our existence influences our behavior, thoughts, and emotions. We will also consider the role of technology in shaping our existence and how it can impact our relationships with others.
By exploring these topics, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of human existence and the ways in which it shapes our lives.

Two days into her summer vacation in 1994, Emily Robb didn't feel well.

The next morning, Robb's mother knew it was more than that when she walked into her daughter's room and saw the purple rash all over her body.
Robb's capillaries burst during the night. Blood leaked into her skin. After some debate, Robb's parents decided to take her to the hospital.

doctors gave her a spinal tap. The results of the test showed that Robb had contracted bacterial meningitis, a disease that affects 1.2 million people every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
There have been 25 cases of bacterial meningitis reported in Kansas since 2000, said Sharon Watson, spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. This year, two students at Wichita State University contracted the disease. One of the students died, contributing to the two meningitis-related deaths in Kansas in the past five years, according to the Health Department.
Two KU students have been infected since the spring semester began. The first was in February when a Douglas County working adult enrolled at the Edwards Campus in Overland Park contracted the disease. The second was last week when Andy Marso, St. Cloud, Minn., senior, contracted bacterial meningitis. Marso is still In the intensive care unit at the University's Hospital.
Ten years after her battle with meningitis, Robb's body still shows the physical effects of the disease such as the burn-like scarring on her elbows and knees. Now, the KU doctor knows how difficult surviving meningitis can be. But, she said it can be just as difficult detecting it before it's too late.

Lawmakers consider mandatory service
By Neeley J. Spellmeier
Kansan staff writer
Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) laid out reasons for reinstating the draft in an editorial published April 25 in the Omaha World-Harold. He said that if the all-volunteer military force cannot meet national security needs, serious alternatives would need to be considered.
The United States discontinued the draft in 1973, but some lawmakers are fighting to bring it back.
Last year, Rep. Charles Rangel (D.N.Y.) and Sen. Ernest F. Hollings (D.S.C.) introduced legislation in both the House of Representatives and the Senate to reinstate the draft. It has not been acted upon in either chamber.
The United State Selective Service has kept the country prepared to bring back the draft since 1980. It requires males to register for the draft within 60 days of turning 18 or risk facing a fine of $250,000 and/or be put in jail for up to five years.

The Journey of Hope is Pi Kappa Phi's annual 64-day cross-country cycling expedition to raise money and awareness on behalf of people with disabilities, said Albers, Lawrence senior.
In the evening, Albers said the teams would visit local camps or organizations that serve people with disabilities and spend time with the people there. These "friendship visits" will vary from hanging out and having dinner, to trips to local water parks, Albers said.
"The biking is kind of what's known and is more visible to the public because it's quite a feat." Albers said. "But the relationships that we build on our trip — I think that's what I'm going to remember the most."

Kansas liquor laws to allow stores possible Sunday sales
STATE
TOPEKA. Down but not out, legislation allowing liquor stores to open on Sundays was revived yesterday - with fresh language permitting convenience and grocery stores to peddle beer on Sundays as well.
Cora Kalukut, Lubumbashi, Congo, senior, painted a craft for Mother's Day yesterday in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall. It was the first year for the event and was free. Student Union Activities sponsored the event.
Both provisions were approved in the House last year. But the Senate has twice defeated Sunday liquor sales this year and has not voted on Sunday beer sales in convenience and grocery stores
sales in convenience and general Legislators were forced to address the state's liquor laws after the Kansas Supreme Court in March 2003 upheld Wyandotte County's adoption of a local ordinance allowing Sunday sales.
Kansas, have since adopted Sunday sales laws. If legislators adjourn this year without making the Liquor Control Act uniform, those communities could continue allowing Sunday sales - and others could follow suit.

Television station receives possible letter from killer
WICHITA - A Wichita television station turned over to police yesterday a suspicious letter it believes may have come from a serial killer.
Police did not immediately return phone calls for comment.
Frye declined to discuss the letter's contents, saying only it was suspicious enough that the station thought it should let authorities decide whether it was authentic.
PE
Authorities believe the letter may have come from a serial killer known as BTK, for "Bind, Torture, Kill" who killed at least seven people between 1974 and 1978. In March, BTK resurfaced when he sent a letter to The Wichita Eagle newspaper claiming responsibility for an eighth killing in 1986.
Bush administration requests money for foreign operations
NATION
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration will ask Congress for an additional $25 billion for U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, Republican congressional aides said yesterday, a change from the White House's earlier plans to not request such money until after the November elections.
Painting for Mom
White House budget chief Joshua Bolten and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz journeyed to the Capitol yesterday to present the proposal to House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-III., Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., and other top Republicans.
The request comes with the Bush administration and the military facing widespread criticism at home and abroad for the abuse of Iraqi war prisoners, including investigations into the deaths of 14 of the detainees.
The $25 billion request is for the
federal budget year that begins next Oct. 1, the aides said. In recent weeks, administration officials have raised the possibility that they also will need extra money for the final weeks of this fiscal
year as well, with many members of Congress saying they believe billions will be needed.

Griffin said that Rough Draft Theater would develop playwrights, rather than use established scripts like other theater groups in the area.
"Each time we do a performance, it's a learning experience," Griffin said. "I think that's the best way to develop your talents. We're learning every step of the way."

While attending the University Griffin took play writing classes and had some of his plays produced by the English Alternative Theatre.

She said that producing a play in such a short time frame was challenging but that it kept her on her toes.
The Rough Draft Theater Players have their next project already in their sights, an updated version of the TV show All in the Family called Family

The new play is scheduled to be performed at the end of May, McNulty said.
McNulty said. "We want to do a show, do it quick and move on to the next one," McNulty said. "We just want to keep everything light and fun for the audience."

Tyler Waldorf and Elissa Hudson were the Outstanding Student Organization Members of the Year for their work on the 2003 Homecoming Steering Committee, which was the Outstanding Student Organization of the Year.
Bell said the committee took Homecoming beyond just a football parade.
The first recipient of the Anthony Daniels Award for Leadership and Achievement in Multicultural Education went to Claudia Mercado, Olathe senior. Anthony "Tony" Daniels is the associate director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs who is leaving at the end of the semester.

No bull: Deer thrashes through china shop, shatters front door

A deer in a china shop apparently does considerably less damage than a bull.
age than a bum.
A china vase was the only merchandise damaged when a deer crashed though the glass front.
door of Randall's Formal Wear, Caroline Evelyn, Marks Jewelers' employee said.
The deer went through Randall's and into Marks; the two businesses share a back room in the 800 block of Massachusetts Street. Considering the large china department, Marks was lucky, she said.
"We have a dense china department, a lot of stock," she said.
No one was in the stores at the time, between 7:50 and 8:30 a.m., Evelyn said, but the deer was evidently hurt.
The deer then apparently ran through the two stores.
"We found a lot of blood. I think one of the hooves was cut,"
Employees found blood on the window, carpet, couches and some mirrors, which are located in the back of the store, Evelyn said. The deer had apparently tried to exit through the back windows, but the bulletproof glass must have presented a problem, she said.
An officer of the Lawrence Police Department herded the deer out the same door it broke through, Evelyn said.
By the time Randall's employees arrived about 9:30 a.m., the carpet cleaners were already there taking care of the blood and the door had been replaced, employee Martha Brummett said.
A customer told Brummett people had seen the deer running toward the river from downtown, she said.
An owner of Marks was called at home because the deer activated the alarm system, Evelyn said.

Athletes deserve the same
It is unfair that merchandise bearing players' names does not benefit the players, but individuals should not reap the rewards of popularity. The sales should benefit all of the University's athletes.
...ABOARD THE KU MEN'S BASKETBALL JET...
The Kansas University Athletic Corporation should continue to use its share of the merchandising money to improve all of the teams. It now uses the money, in part, to pay for scholarships, equipment and facilities.
Although athletes don't receive financial compensation for their work, athletic participation does have its benefits.
Football and basketball are
nationally recognized and featured on television. Nearly all of the athletes get to travel the country to attend competitions at the University's expense. They receive the adoration of the fans. They get to do all of this while playing a game that they presumably love. The scholarship players get a less
costlv education.
Athletes who feel taken advantage of are welcome to leave and pursue a career, though they might discover that finding a job is difficult without a college degree and that securing a spot on a professional team is hard without collegiate-level practice.
Zach Newton for The University Daily Kensan
If profit and playing professionally are the athlete's goals, then maybe playing on a college team isn't for him or her. Understandably, because the NFL and NBA lack affiliated minor leagues, players are forced to attend college.
Perhaps these players would be better suited for the minors than
for a classroom.
These athletes should look around at what they already receive and be thankful for it. They shouldn't be allowed to bank on their individual popularity, but they should be allowed the same opportunity for employment and scholarship as other students.

Rate professors online for better classes
GUEST COMMENTARY
Each semester, KU students are asked to fill out teacher evaluations, only to watch the information disappear into the abyss, never to be seen again.
Amy F. Cox
Word of mouth was the only option students had to learn about professors until recently. At www.ratemyprofessors.com, students can now anonymously rate professors on their helpfulness, clarity, difficulty of classes and even physical attractiveness (just for fun). Students can also leave comments about professors and the courses they teach.
Kelly Brogan
opinion@kansan.com
The Web site was founded in 1999 by John Swapceinski, who graduated that year from San Jose State University. "I got the idea for the site after taking a class with a particularly dastardly professor
With enrollment upon us, this Web site is a valuable resource that will help students plan their class schedules and improve the quality of their education.
who often left students in tears and genuinely seemed to enjoy it," he said.
Students who visit the site can check professors' ratings, or rate professors on a 1 to 5 scale, 5 being the best. Although some expect the site to be just a place to bash professors, almost 70 percent of the ratings are positive, Swapecelski said.
At the time of this writing, the Web site had more than 1,000 ratings for 402 of
University of Kansas professors. KU's highest rated professor was Jonathan Earle, professor of history, with an overall rating of 4.9. Of the ratings for Earle, comments included "Energetic, eager to teach, extraordinary professor" and "I actually like getting up for this class."
The Web site also displays each school's "hottest" professors, indicated by a red chili pepper icon. With seven "hot" votes, Eric Stocks, psychology graduate teaching assistant, just may be the sexiest instructor on campus.
The Web site includes a section of the
The site is not without its critics. Some students question the validity of the ratings, especially because students are not required to log in to rate professors. Even the site's list of FAQs admits, "Remember, we have no way of knowing who is doing the rating — students, the teacher, other teachers, parents, etc."
funniest ratings ever posted. One reads,
"Boring! But I learned there are 137 tiles on the ceiling." Another: "He will destroy you like an academic ninja."
Swapceinski said that he had received threats of legal action from irate professors every week. "It's amazing," he said, "the number of professors with Ph.D.s that don't get the concept of the First Amendment."
Editor's Note:
Brogan is a Hinsdale, Ill., junior in psychology.
On Monday, May 10, a University endorsed professor rating Web site will be available. There will be a link to the Web site sent through the all-University-students listserv. A test site is available to view format and questions at www.ku.edu/cgiwrap/aseval/course_evaluation.cgi

Summer book picks stretch mind poolside
For some, summer means an opportunity to lie around and soak up sun. Lounging poolside provides a great opportunity to pick up a book, especially when the songs on the radio have taken their toll on you, you've heard that chorus too many times before. Here's a few suggestions for the poolside.
Orbiting the Giant Hairball: A Corporate Fool's Guide to Surviving with Grace by Gordon MacKenzie.
M. V. Rao
Hairball relates MacKenzie's experiences working for Hallmark Cards and as a freelance consultant. His insights into the suppression of creativity and how corporate management interacts with employees are as insightful as they are charming. The book nearly overflows with positive energy and handles serious topics with a light touch.
This sequence of 80 sonnets was originally published in 1591. It's aged well. The narrative follows the twisting emotions of Astrophel, star lover, for Stella, star. A dictionary isn't needed to translate the vibrant emotion locked in each sonnet.
COMMENTARY
Astrophel and Stella by Sir Philip Sidney.
Jonathan Reeder
opinton@kansan.com
Got a little more time to kill? Try the The Chronicles of the Black Company by Glen Cook. It's a nine-book dark fantasy series that offers a different spin on the same old fantasy clichés. The story follows the remnants of a mercenary brotherhood marching to its original home; a place none of the current members have ever seen. The series follows the Company across years, continents and even to an alternate world.
The high point of the series is Cook's
vivid characterizations and ability to write in several different styles. The series gets bonus points for not losing its focus.
If you're looking for a little horror try anything by Bentley Little. His novels add a horrifying twist to the mundane and feature everything from a demonic postal worker in The Mailman to an evil corporate franchise that corrupts everything around it in The Store. A new novel hits the shelves nearly every year.
But be warned. Little uses many visceral and taboo subjects for shock value. Babies and cute animals aren't exempt from his horrors. His books are best read in bright, calming daylight of a July afternoon.
Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child provide another source of readily available entertainment. The duo has published eight books, four of which feature their crowning achievement: FBI Special Agent Pendergast.
Pendergast seems capable of outdetecting Sherlock Holmes and his authors are at their best when writing
him. He appears in Relic, Reliquary, The Cabinet of Curiosities and Still Life With Crows. Their latest novel is a series of killings brings Agent Pendergast to the fictional small town of Medicine Creek, Kan. It's on my reading list and if it have has the atmosphere and charm of the pair's earlier novels, it should be a fun read.
No matter how you spend your summer make time for a good, or at least entertaining, book.

MENINGITIS: Recovery can be long and painful
Emily Robb, 4th year medical resident at The University of Kansas Hospital, lived through bacterial meningitis. Doctors diagnosed meningitis in Robb in 1993. Robb is now studying pediatrics and internal medicine.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Sickness and Recovery
For six days, Robb struggled for her life in intensive care, still disoriented and battling infections.
Her kidneys shut down. Pneumonia infected both of her lungs. The doctors working on her said amongst themselves that she wouldn't live through the week.
"I didn't know what was going on," Robb said. "All I knew is that I felt like someone beat the crap out of me."
Robb couldn't eat, only taking fluids through IVs. In six days, she lost 20 pounds.
Recovery from meningitis requires antibiotics. The quicker patients receive the antibiotic treatment, the better the chance of survival, said Daniel Hinthorn, director of infectious diseases at the Hospital.
"Without it would be devastating." he said.
Treatment of the most common types of bacterial meningitis should increase the chance of surviving to more than 85 percent, according the Centers for Disease Control.
Hinthorn said without the antibiotics a person could sometimes die within 12 hours of contracting the disease.
But the antibiotics are an instant cure for patients such as Robb. Hinthorn the toxins released by the bacteria stayed in the body for days and sometimes weeks.
"It doesn't mean after you're treated you'll get back to full steam ahead," he said.
"We don't understand why, but it depends on actual organisms and the person's immune system," Hinthorn said.
The time meningitis spreads inside the body varies from person to person and case to case depending on the meningitis strain. Hinthorn said the same bacteria could take over a person's body in hours and be prolonged for a day or two in another person.
During those weeks, the toxins in her body slowly started to disappear. Antibiotics battled her infections and pneumonia until her body was well enough to go back to her parents' house to finish recovery.
For Robb, the antibiotics worked immediately. But the bacteria had spread so much, that after she was taken from intensive care, she still needed two weeks at the hospital before doctors would release her.
But even then, the disease had depleted Robb's strength. For weeks, she needed a walker to move around the house, her muscles so weakened by her rapid weight loss.
weight loss.
She went to rehabilitation every day for two months, where doctors would soak her in a hot tub and then, with tweezers, remove skin deadened by her blood rash.
"Recovery is grueling," Robb said. "I was in pain the entire time."
The pain intruded on her rehabilitation so much that she took morphine every day during the two months.
She didn't feel she had completely recovered until she returned to Carleton College in Minnesota nearly four months after she first contracted the disease, and even then her scaring made her battle with meningitis apparent.
Two years later, looking at her own medical records after she entered medical school at the University, she finally realized how sick she had been.
She knew if she hadn't been staying at her parents' house where her mom often checked in on her, she probably wouldn't have treated the disease in time.
"I didn't know about a lot of it," she said. "The kidney failure, the pneumonia. I was really close to death."
"If I was at school, I'd probably be dead," she said.
Prevention and Detection
Steve White's head hurt so much he couldn't walk.
He had a fever and nausea all signs of the flu. Except just a month earlier, the teaching and leadership professor got a flu shot.
Doctors immediately suspected bacterial meningitis. After a spinal tap showing the presence of the disease, doctors placed White on a full 24-hours of antibiotics.
"Iwould have just thought I had a really bad case of the flu," he said. "But when it didn't get better, I knew I had to go to the hospital."
of antibodies.
After a short hospital stay, White went home. A month later, he was back at the University, picking up where he left off in his classes.
"After a few days, I was bored.
I knew I was better." White said.
Luckily, White caught the first symptoms early. But for people who haven't received a flu shot or don't go to the doctor immediately after getting sick, deciding how quickly to go to the doctor can mean the difference between a mild meningitis case such as White's and a potentially life-threatening situation.
"If things aren't changing, if you're getting rapidly worse, go to the doctor," Robb said.
The bacteria spreads so quickly, most people get sick within a few hours of the disease becoming active, Robb said.
There is also a vaccine to prevent the disease. But, Robb said even if one had received the vaccine, it protects against only two of the three main strains of the bacteria, and often not the worst kind.
Before she got sick, Robb said, finals and a grueling school schedule had exhausted her. She wasn't sleeping or eating much, if at all.
sleeping or running The best way to prevent the disease, Robb said, was to not let this happen. When lack of sleep or nutrition weakens the immune system, a person can be susceptible to many diseases, not just bacterial meningitis.

"A lot of times you'll receive a letter in the mail, and you'll be surprised at who sent it and how much they donated," said Thurston, who also works for The University Daily Kansan. "It's been inspiring that so many people care about what we're doing."
The money raised from the Journey of Hope benefits Pi Kappa Phi's national philanthropy, Push America, Albers said. It will be used for various grants as well as to fund Give a Push weekends and week-long Push Camps. Both projects are similar to Alternative Breaks, Albers said, where chapter members either work at a camp for children with disabilities or help to construct facilities such as wheelchair-accessible fishing docks and playground equipment.

In addition to the visits and activities with people with disabilities on the Journey, the teams will also meet with non-disabled children to help them realize that people with disabilities are not unlike themselves, said Adam Heasley, Overland Park senior.
Heasley is a cyclist on the Journey of Hope in 2002 and said that the fraternity members often put on interactive puppet shows for the kids to clear up some of their misconceptions about disabilities.
"You'd be surprised how many kids think they can catch disabilities like a cold at the kindergarten or first grade level," Heasley said.

DRAFT: Current draft rules better for students
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
According to the system's Web site the government is prepared to conduct a draft but is not getting ready to do so.
One change made during the Vietnam War would affect male students at colleges or universities. Before 1971, full-time students were automatically deferred from service.
They could continue to go to school and defer service until they were 26, the age that was considered too old to be drafted.
College students in the middle of a semester may now finish the semester and graduating seniors may complete the entire year before reporting to duty.
Philip Schroedt, professor of political science, teaches a class on U.S. defense policy. He said that if Bush were to support reinstating the draft, it would not come until after the 2004 election.
2004 election
But he said he thought the push would come from Congress, particularly World War II and Vietnam veterans such as Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
"The army is not representative of the nation as a whole," he said.
Those who support Bush's policy in Iraq would be inclined to favor the draft because of personnel shortfalls in the military, he said.
There are no shortages now, but if the United States is still involved in Iraq in six months, the decline in enlistment and re-
The issue could also gain bipartisan support, Schroedt said. Democrats who support a draft would probably do so for the sake of class equality, he said.
Presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry has not explicitly commented on either foreign policy or the military, Schroedt said, but it is something he would have to address at some point.

Defense of Marriage Act by challenging Congress in a February 2004 press conference to "promptly pass, and to send to the states for ratification, an amendment to our Constitution defining and protecting marriage as a union of man and woman as husband and wife."

Self looking to fill future voids
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
When the Kansas men's basketball team was struggling in conference play during January and February, coach Bill Self began facing some criticism for his offensive system and some believed he wasn't coaching to his players' strengths. Despite all the talk, the team persevered toward a stellar finish to the season.
toward a sleek finish on the couch Judging by the free-flowing guy Self is, it's safe to say he was not feeling much pressure. And if he was, he probably didn't stress over it much.
However, beginning right now, the heat on the Jayhawks has been turned up. For as long as coach Self's tenure at Kansas will last, his recruiting class next year could very well determine the long-term success of his program Should Self get a top-notch class, the program will not skip a beat.
Following next season, the Jayhawks will lose arguably the most solid senior class in school history, consisting of Keith Langford, Aaron Miles, Wayne Simien and Mike Lee. Plus, there are
rumors that should J.R. Giddens show some solid improvement from his strong freshman campaign, he will bolt for NBA riches. That means that a new regime will need to shoulder the load. Coach Self already has some nice targets on his recruiting radar, and here are some of them.

Hansbrough has stated that he wants to have his final decision made by July, and Kansas has one advantage that no one else can compete with - former legend and current member of the Jayhawks' staff, Danny Manning.

Basketball diversifies leadership
One thing no one seemed to point out when Norm Roberts was hired as the head men's basketball coach at St. John's was that he joined a group of nearly 25 percent of the 326 Division I head basketball coaches who are African American.
The same thing happened when Frank Haith, a former assistant basketball coach at the Texas became the head coach at the University of Miami.
There were no headlines referring to them being landmark hires. No color barrier was crossed. There was very little coverage given to the events at all. It was nothing special just two assistant coaches that finally got their shot.

every year. Old guys, young guys, you name it. We're thrilled for Norm, and we're thrilled for every friend that gets the opportunity. But I don't think one job changes the way people look at the profession. Any coach in the college profession likes to see good people rewarded for their efforts."
College basketball has hired so many African-American head coaches over the last decade that these hires are finally becoming the norm.
According to a survey done by the NCAA Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee, the number of
African-American head coaches has risen from 17.4 percent in 1995 to 21.6 percent in 2002.
And college basketball should be commended for blazing the trail for so many black coaches.
"Roberts is an excellent coach and he will do very well at St. John's," Chancellor Robert Hemenway said. "He joins a number of African-American basketball coaches in Division I. There are fewer black coaches in Division I football, and this is something that must be changed."
Indeed, college football should take a lesson from college basketball.
a lesson from college. The way qualified African-American college football coaches are looked over is wrong. Out of the 117 Division 1 head coaches, five are black. That's less than 5 percent. Even more troubling is that nearly half of the athletes in college football are African American.
American African-American coaches are so rare in the college football world that
When St. John's and Miami hired Roberts and Haith, it barely created a murmur.
when Sylvester Croom was hired by Mississippi State University, his press conference was televised nationally because he was the first African-American head football coach in SEC history.
According to Hemenway, changes are being made to try to increase the number of African-American football coaches in the NCAA.
"The NCAA is holding coaches clinics during the summer to expand the pool of African-American coaches who would be eligible for Division I football jobs," he said.
I'm sure clinics will help, but if college football truly wants to change its ways administrators need to look no further than the success that African-American coaches have had in college basketball.

The Associated Press
TORONTO — Vernon Wells homered twice and tied a career high with five RBI, and Roy Halladay pitched seven strong innings on three days' rest, leading the Toronto Blue Jays to a 10-3 win against the Kansas City Royals yesterday.
Wells, who entered hitting just .228 with one home run and seven RBI, hit an RBI grounder in the first, a three-run homer in the second and a solo shot in the fourth for Toronto.
Staked to a 7-0 lead in the second, Halladay (3-3) won his third straight start, allowing three runs on 11 hits, while striking out four and walking none in seven innings. He's 4-0 with a 1.50 ERA when pitching on three days' rest, including 3-0 in three starts last season.

Missouri wants new schedule

Bell tolls decisively as Philadelphia slides past St. Louis
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA -David Bell tied a career-high with four RBI, including a three-run homer, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-4 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals last night.
St. Louis Cemetery Kevin Millwood (3-2) pitched seven innings and Marlon Byrd homered for
Philadelphia (12-13). The Phillies, preseason favorites to win the National League East, haven't been at .500 since they were 1-1.
Scott Rolen had two hits and three RBI against his former team. Rolen is hitting .414 (24-for-58) against the Phillies since he was traded to St. Louis in 2002.

Clay-court matches slip up some players
The Associated Press
ROME—Roger Federer's keys to success after a second-round loss in the Italian Open: more practice, more matches, less panic.
And more seeded players left in the second round.

In fact, with the three top-seeded players out in the first three days in Rome, the clay-court competition seems as unpredictable as ever just weeks before the start of the French Open, the only Grand Slam tournament played on the surface.
Federer joined No. 2 Andy Roddick and No. 3 Rainer Schuettler in making an early exit.
Federer, a finalist here last year before going on to win Wimbledon and the Australian Open, looked in top form during the first set despite three weeks off the tour.

But then his game fell apart. He sprayed his powerful forehand long, netted several volleys and looked uncomfortable sliding on the red clay.

"I tried everything I could," Federer said. "He didn't give me much."
Costa is considered a formidable opponent on the slow surface, but he's having a poor season.
"I played more aggressively, that was the key," he said.
Federer didn't help his cause committing 44 unforced errors twice as many as Costa.
"I have to go on the practice courts and really do drills," Federer said. "And hopefully I'll feel better on certain shots."

In a first-round match suspended by rain Tuesday night at 3-3 in the second set, two-time major champion Lleyton Hewitt came back to beat Italian wildcard entry Andreas Seppi 5-7, 7-5. 6-3, Seppi, ranked 216th, has never won an ATP tournament match.

ATHENS, Greece — Greece's efforts to calm fears about Olympic security were rocked by three bombs that exploded at dawn yesterday 100 days before the Summer Games.
Three bombs explode in Athens; zero injuries
The Associated Press
The government assigned top anti-terrorist agents to investigate the bombings, which caused no injuries but damaged a suburban police station.
Officials insisted there was no link to the Aug. 13-29 Olympics and probably were carried out by self-styled anarchists or other domestic extremists.
A Greek delegation, led by the public order minister and the head of the Greek police, is in Washington for talks on how to safeguard the first Summer Olympics since the Sept. 11.

Premier Costas Caramanlis called the bombing "an isolated incident which does not affect whatsoever the safety of the Olympic preparation".
"I don't think panic is created by this kind of small incident." Athens Mayor Dora Bakoyianni said in Paris, where she was promoting her city.
Greece's anti-terrorist units took over the investigation. Police said foot patrols and other surveillance would be increased.

The Athens organizing committee "is implementing a comprehensive security plan that will provide a safe and secure environment for athletes from every

Australia — host of the 2000 Sydney Games — will "review the existing threat assessment," said its foreign minister, Alexander Downer. Australia is part of a seven-nation security advisory panel for Athens that includes the United States, Britain and France.
"These three bombings plunge us back into a problem that's important (and) troubling," France's Olympic Committee president, Henry Serandour, told FranceInfo radio.
But French President Jacques Chirac urged nations to "stand by" Greece, and British Prime Minister Tony Blair said "the games should go on as planned."
Colorado era tumbles like an avalanche
The Associated Press
DENVER -- Losing to San Jose in six games was more than just the finish to a disappointing season for the Colorado Avalanche.

Smarty Jones heads home to Bensalem on undefeated run The Associated Press
BENSALEM, Pa. — Pennsylvania-bred Smarty Jones, the first undefeated Derby winner since Seattle Slew in 1977 and the likely favorite for the Preakness on May 15, returned to Philadelphia Park yesterday.

A media crowd totaling about 100 — unheard of for a track that doesn't even have a press box — showed up for Smarty's first day home in about three months. The horse trained up to the Derby in Arkansas, winning the Southwest Stakes, Rebel Stakes and Arkansas Derby before moving on to Kentucky.
So, on the morning after the Flyers advanced the Eastern Conference final in NHL playoffs, it was Smarty Jones' turn to take center stage in Philly.
With a pony escort, Smarty Jones walked along the dirt path and made his way onto the track as a crowd of 200 including track personnel and media members took up spots along the outer rail for a close-up view.
John Servis, Smarty's trainer, said the horse would gallop Thursday, but there won't be a final workout before the colt attempts to win the Preakness, setting up a Triple Crown try in the Belmont Stakes on June 5.

Contract could spell Warner's end
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Marc Bulger's new four-year contract with the St. Louis Rams may be yet another signal that two-time NFL MVP Kurt Warner—the guy who guided the Rams to two Super Bowls — soon may be forced to work elsewhere.
The Rams did not disclose terms of the deal announced Tuesday with Bulger, who coach Mike Martz has said would enter the preseason as the team's starting quarterback. And the statement made no mention of the status of Warner, who apparently expects to be released by the Rams after June 1.
"This is good for Marc, but is also good for the organization," Martz said in the statement, days after saying when it came to Warner, "at this point, our focus (is) to get something done with Marc and we'll take the next step from there."
"Obviously, I'm excited to finally get it done," he told the St.
Bulger said, "It's nice to have the deal behind me."
since in 1960. While suggesting there's still a chance Warner could stay with the team next season, Martz said last month that discussions on a long-term deal with Bulger could impact what happened, with reaching a deal increasing the likelihood of Warner leaving the team.
Barring something dramatic, Warner's agent said later Tuesday that Bulger's new contract made his client's departure from St. Louis a virtual certainty.
"We knew this was coming. This is not a surprise," Mark Bartelstein said of Bulger's deal. "Kurt wants to play, and I think there's going to be a lot of interesting situations out there for him (with other teams). Sometimes change is good, and that time may be here for Kurt."
Bartelstein, Warner's agent, said his client expected to be released after June 1 and that he doubted Warner would be willing to play backup to Bulger or take a salary cut to stay with the Rams.
Bartelstein said that since the Rams gave Warner permission to shop his skills elsewhere in the NFL, "we've talked to a number of teams, and there's certainly a lot of interest." Bartelstein declined to elaborate. He said Warner continues to work out at Rams Park.
Louis Post-Dispatch. "It's nice to have a little stability in your life rather than a one-year deal."
"We're just moving forward," he said. "Nothing is written in stone and crazy things can happen every day. But that's the path we're headed down right now."
Bartlestein said Warner had not decided if he would participate in the team's mini-camp May 21-23. "I know the Rams would like to have Kurt back but the time is probably right for a change," he said. "I don't anticipate him being a backup, but I won't draw a line in the sand."
Bulger, 27, has been a big success in 1 1/2 seasons as a starter with the Rams. He won his first six starts in 2002 and led the team to a 12-4 record and an NFC West championship last year, then was the MVP in the Pro Bowl after throwing a record four touchdowns.
In 15 starts last season, Bulger threw for an NFC-best 3,845 yards on 336-of-532 passing, with 22 touchdowns and 22 interceptions for an 81.4 passer rating.
since Pat Haden had four in 1976.
Bulger, taken by the New Orleans Saints in the sixth round of the 2000 draft out of West Virginia, also gained 75 yards on 29 carries in 2003, with his four touchdown runs the most the most by a Rams' quarterback
Warner was the NFL MVP in 1999 and 2001, leading the team to the Super Bowl each year. But he had just three touchdown passes and 11 interceptions in an injury-plagued 2002 and lost his job after fumbling six times while sustaining a concussion in the opener last year.
The Rams quarterback corps already includes 38-year-old veteran Chris Chandler as a backup. In the NFL draft last month, St. Louis chose Jeff Smoker of Michigan State in the sixth round.
As Indy 500 nears, no limit on speed
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — The rule makers can cut the fuel, limit the horsepower and tinker with the downforce all they want.
The only sure way to slow the cars at Indianapolis is to post a speed limit and station a cop with a radar gun at each turn. As a desperate measure, they could always put a speed bump across the strip of bricks at the start-finish line.
It seems that no matter what is done to control speed for safety's sake, the engineering geniuses will find a way to make the cars go faster, and the teams and drivers
"I remember a few years ago, they knocked us down to 212.213 (mph) when they went to a different spec."
Robby Gordon Driver
will continue to push the limits.
It's why they race.
"I remember a few years ago, they knocked us down to 212, 213 (mph) when they went to a different spec," driver Robby Gordon said. "By last year, we were already back up to the 230s again."
The first Indianapolis 500 was in 1911, and the day after the race, a newspaper questioned if the speeds were already too fast. Ray Harroun won that race at 74.6 mph.
At last year's pole speed of less than 232 mph, Helio Castroneve could have completed three laps in the time it took Harroun to drive once around the same 2.1/2-mile oval.
The speed climbed steadily and was nearing 150 by the early 1960s, when the front-engine roadsters gave way to a rearengine revolution of speed and
technology. By the end of that decade, speeds were up to nearly 170, and it took just four more years to reach the high 190s.
The deadly 1973 race, when two drivers and a crewman were killed, prompted another effort to cut speeds, but by 1977 they were just under 199.
The next year, Tom Sneva became the first to qualify at more than 200, and over the next 18 years the pole speeds rose to Arie Luyendyk's record 236.986 mph.
The track opens for practice Sunday, with qualifications set for May 15-16 and May 23.

Moore film dropped by Disney; world premiere at film festival
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Michael Moore's *Fahrenheit 9/11*, which criticizes President Bush's handling of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and connects the Bush family with Osama bin Laden's, won't be released through Miramax films on orders from parent company Disney.
company Moore said he thought The Walt Disney Co. was worried the documentary would endanger tax breaks the company received from Florida, where Bush's brother Jeb is governor.
But the timing couldn't be better to stir up discussion: Fahrenheit 9/11 is making its world premiere as one of 18 films screening in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, which begins May 12.
var, which begins with "Heading into Cannes, you've got this whole controversy that people will be talking about Miramax not being able to release the film. It adds to the mystique of the film, it adds to the danger," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations.
tions.
"With a lot of filmmakers, this would not be a good thing," he said. "When it comes to Michael
Moore, there's not really a downside to him to have controversy."
The confrontational director won an Oscar for his 2002 documentary Bowling for Columbine, about the Columbine High School shooting and U.S. gun control policy. The film earned $21.5 million at the box office, making it the highest-grossing documentary ever. He's also known for the 1989 film Roger & Me, which explored the effects of General Motors on his hometown of Flint, Mich.
Dergarabedian said Fahrenheit 9/11 would find a distributor possibly even before Cannes.

RECRUITING: Many prospects in key year

on my decision," he told Rivals.com. "He's had a lot of success in college and in the NBA. He knows a lot about the game, has a great feel for the game and is the person that could develop me into a great player. Yes, coach Manning could have a big impact on my decision."
Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1, 165 pounds, Point Guard, Bartlett HS, Anchorage, Alaska.
Rivals.com ranks Chalmers as the No. 25 recruit in the nation, as well as one of the country's elite high school point guards. Landing Chalmers would be huge for the Jayhawks, as he would be the likely successor right away to Aaron Miles. Kansas is in Chalmers' top-3 list of schools, which also includes Arizona and Wake Forest. An advantage for the Jayhawks is that both Arizona (Mustafa Shakur) and Wake Forest (Chris Paul) have stellar young point guards who will both be just sophomores next season. Both could also make the NBA leap, though, if they avoid a sophomore slump. Chalmers will take his official visit to Kansas next weekend, and has become a fan of
coach Self.
"Mario has followed coach Self since his days at Illinois," Chalmers' father, Ronnie Chalmers, told Rivals.com. "He is a genuine man that gave us a great presentation. It was great because we did not spend the entire time talking about basketball."

Labonte stays consistent
NASCAR
The Associated Press
Bobby Labonte is NASCAR's stealth racer.
Unlike teammate Tony Stewart, whose off-track tantsrums keep him in the headlines, Labonte generally goes about his business without the fanfare.
"Other people just get more attention than we do," Labonte said. "I guess we probably do keep a low profile. We don't hunt
extracurricular stuff."
He certainly hasn't generated any headlines in the first 10 races this year. Still, Labonte is ninth in the NASCAR Nextel Cup standings with three top-five finishes and five top-10s.
He trails leader Dale Earnhardt Jr. by just 188 points and is only 51 points behind Kurt Busch and Kevin Harvick, who are tied for fifth place.
"We've had a little bit of bad luck or we'd have been higher in
the points," Labonte said, shrugging. "We've had two second-place finishes and we easily could have won both of those races."
"We should have. But at least we ran good."
we're keenly aware of NASCAR's new championship formula, with the top 10 drivers in the standings and any others within 400 points of the leader after the first 26 races eligible for a 10-race "Chase for the Championship."
BASKETBALL: Football should follow basketball
Fifteen of the 65 teams in this year's NCAA Tournament had African-American coaches, and so did all four teams in the NIT Finals.
This success has made it easy for Athletic Directors to hire African-American basketball coaches. College basketball could still do better than 22 percent African-American head coaches, considering that 55.9 percent of its athletes are African American.
Finals.
Paul Hewitt reached this year's national title game with Georgia Tech, and national titles belong to Nolan Richardson and Tubby Smith.
College football, however, needs to catch up in the worst possible way. If its top African-American assistant coaches are given the head coaching jobs they deserve, college football will see the same kind of success that college basketball has achieved.
But that ratio has increased considerably and should continue to grow.
NCAA: Task force formed to combat rash of recruiting violations
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Robinett is a Austin, Texas, junior in journalism
lodging and meals for recruits and end personalized promotions of game-day activities, such as presenting recruits with jerseys that have their names on them.
David Berst, chairman of the recruiting task force, said these measures were meant to reduce the "culture of entitlement," in which recruits have come to expect special treatment.
"What we're really trying to do is shift from an environment where all we are doing is competing with each other and trying to influence a prospect to come to our schools; not necessarily for the right reasons," Berst said.
The NCAA formed the task force in February in response to recruiting scandals that have rocked collegiate athletics this year — most notably at the University of Colorado, where women have alleged they were sexually assaulted at a party where football recruits were present. The task force was charged with reforming the NCAA's recruiting policies to prevent similar scandals from happening in the future.
the future. The task force presented its work to the NCAA Division One Management Council two weeks ago and to the Board of Directors last week. The force is still investigating and its recommendations
have not been finalized.
University of Kansas Chancellor Robert Hemenway, NCAA board of directors chairman, said the recruiting issue is an important one for the task force to examine.
examine. "You ought to have a level playing field for recruits." Hemenway said. "The way you do that is convince the student-athlete that this is the best place to come and play and study and be a student- athlete."
Hemenway said Kansas had examined its recruiting practices in the wake of the national scandals and hadn't found any wrongdoing.
Nevertheless, Kansas would
have to adjust some of its practices if the reforms were passed.
Tim Jankovich, assistant men's basketball coach, said Kansas sometimes flew recruits in on private aircraft because it helped Kansas compete with other schools in more favorable locations.
He said if commercial airports and planes were the only available options, schools in metropolitan areas or areas with large pools of talent might gain an advantage.
Other than that, Jankovich said the effects of reform on the University would be mostly insignificant.
"We try not to go overboard in
terms of extravagance," Jankovich said. "We try to show our recruits a pretty realistic perspective of what life will be like when they're here."
beyond the reforms, Hemenway said, it is important for individual universities to root out wrong on their own and not just rely on NCAA rules.
This is also a value that the task force is trying to promote, recommending that institutions also be required to develop their own specific rules regarding treatment of recruits.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs, said that rules alone would not prevent all infractions.
"You're never going to get 100 percent of the people doing things the right way in any profession," Marchiony said.
He said it was important for a program to hire people who would exercise good judgement.
The task force plans to introduce formal legislative proposals at the end of summer. Then the NCAA will decide whether to adopt them for next year.
Berst said that any number of changes could occur to the recommendations before they are finalized. For example, he said that after its discussion with the management council, the task force decided to look at ways to increase the accountability of schools to abide by new rules. It will also look into reducing the number and duration of official visits a recruit can make.

Learn the do's and don't's of fashion at 9 tonight by attending the Fashion Slam! at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. The show will help raise funds for The Social Service League, 905 Rhode Island St. The organization provides shoes to low-income school children and operates a store of used and inexpensive clothing. The show will involve four teams comprised of downtown Lawrence employees who will be given 40 minutes to create a fashion do and a fashion don't with clothes and props provided by the Social Service League. At the end of the evening each team will display their creations on the runway, and it will be left up to the audience to decide who is the Fashion Slam! winner. Following the Fashion Slam!, the Jackpot Saloon, 943 Massachusetts St., will host an evening of music to benefit The Social Service League. Music will begin at 10 p.m. and bands featured are The Eudoras, Clamsl!, The Charge Droplets and This Is My Condition. The cost for the Fashion Slam! is $5, and all ages are welcome.

Mandofest
All you hardcore mandolin fans (you know who you are) who are dying for an all-mandolin concert, tonight's your night! Mandofest is coming to Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St., at 7. This show features mandolin players from all over the United State, including John Reischman with John Miller, Mike Marshall, Josh Pinkham, Scott Tichenor, Uptown Mandolin Quartet, Kory Willis with The Midday Ramblers, the Mandofest Orchestra and others. You probably won't find more eight-stringed action than here! Cost for this all ages show has yet to be announced. For more information, go to www.mandolincafe.com/mandofest.

Do you feel like I do?
You will.
Come sail away to Sandstone Amphitheater (or Verizon Wireless Amphitheater...but that doesn't mean we have to give in) to hear some great (we're being generous) rock. Tonight at 7:30, 101.1 FM the Fox presents Trent Green's Summer Kickoff Concert featuring Styx and Peter Frampton. Your guess is as good as ours as to what in the sweet name of Mr. Roboto the Chiefs ProBowl quarterback has to do with early '80s concept rock. But hey, his name's on the bill. At least it's not Mike Sweeney's Summer Catch Christian Rock-off. The show will open with everybody's favorite blonde twins from the '90s. No, not Olsen but Nelson. Tickets range from $17 to $42 and can be purchased online at www.ticketmaster.com or by calling (913)721-4200.
5/09 Sun. Mixing it up
where it's at this week's happenings
The Installation Class 2004 Annual Exhibition starts today in the Art and Design Gallery, located on the 3rd floor of the Art and Design Building, 1467 Jayhawk Boulevard. Fourteen students will get the chance to show off their mixed media pieces and a semester's worth of hard work. Installation art may include traditional and new approaches to creating artwork, such as sculpture, video, photography and sound, and sometimes involves holistic notions of space. "Students really have to come to terms with content and form more so than when the work rotates around the use of a specific material," says Maria Velasco, associate professor of installation art. "All of a sudden there are all these media talking to each other." The exhibition runs through May 14 and admission is free. For more information call 864-4401.

5/10 Mon.
Down the bunny hole.
It's time to revisit an old childhood friend, and take another trip down the rabbit hole to Wonderland. Directed by Theresa G. Buchheister, known for Dr. Faustus and Red Horse Animation, Alice In Wonderland (Brought to You by Best Butter), is an adult version of the Lewis Carroll classic that little kiddies should not be present for. The curtain drops for this production at 2:30 p.m. In the Inge Theatre in Murhpy Hall, 1530 Naismith Dr. Best yet, it's free. Too bad hooka hits aren't.
5/11 Tues. With a rebel yell...
Music and politics have always been a marriage made in spin heaven, or hell. Official and unofficial campaign songs are publicly agonized over almost as much as voting records. It could even be argued that Howard Dean's defiant "rebel yell," and the requisite nerdy remixes, broke the fiery doctor's presidential bid. So take a break from the dirty world of partisan music with the Plea for Peace Tour concert at Liberty Hall, which starts at 7:30 tonight. The music presented here is a call for action in any direction, with the primary message of "Vote, dammit!" You can listen to the bands Cursive and Darkest Hour rock out and register to vote all in the same night. It's an all ages show and tickets are $13.50. There will be plenty of opportunities to voice your political convictions, and you won't have to listen to tacky campaign tunes like Bruce Springsteen's "No Surrender" (Kerry's pick) or Bush's regally irritating choice, "Hail to the Chief."
5/12 Wed. Grand slam.
If you know you've got the talent and skills, or if you just want to see what people think of your poetic nature, come to the Poetry Slam session at the Hawks Nest, Level 1 in the Kansas Union, 1301 Jayhawk Boulevard, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and show what you've got. Listen to the best and worst poets on campus battle for the $90 first prize gift certificate first or enter the contest yourself. Poets have five minutes to slam, and the audience will pick the winners at the end. If you have last-minute thoughts, don't worry, you don't have to sign up in advance to participate.

Thursday: Balls, Balls and More Balls
Feel like working up a sweat? Pick up your date and head to the batting cages at Sport 2 Sport to hit some balls. You can either flirt with your lack of ability or put your arms around your date to show the proper swinging technique. If you're lucky you'll be able to hit a grand slam with your talent.
After you've worked up a sweat and an appetite, head to JB Stout's Sports Bar and Grill to chow down some burgers. You deserve it.
Enjoy the appetizers, but don't take too long. Use you time to take your best shot on the pool table. Impress your date with how you handle your cue stick. After all the competition, drop your date off. Hopefully neither one of you will be a sore loser so you'll get a goodnight kiss.
Friday: Fine Dining and Wining
Pull out your freshly pressed khakis and your slip dresses for an evening of pure romance at Pachamama's.
Start the night off with wine tasting to relieve any tension. Choose from five wines and appetizers for the low price of $20. Make reservations, so you can sit on the patio watching the sunset glisten against the greens of Alvamar Golf and Country Club. This is the perfect time to slip your hand into your date's hand as you beckon a personal violinist (Fridays only) to your table. Request anything—maybe not Beyonce's "Naughty Girl," but perhaps a classical Bach tune.
After a date, meet up with friends at Clinton Lake for a campfire, some good music and good times.
Location: Pachamama's, 2161 Quail Creek Dr., 841-0990
Be adventurous with your date and try anything from a specialty duck to the veal. If the wide selection makes you nervous, the "amuse bouche" tasting might help you out. It's a nightly food tasting extravaganza that will pleasure your palate. Even if you don't know how to say "amuse bouche," give it a shot. The puckering of your lips will distract your date enough.
Price Range: Entrées range from $17-$28
Location: Sport 2 Sport, 5200 Clinton Parkway, 843-4263; JB Stout's Sports Bar and Grill, 721 Wakarua Dr., 865-5144
Price Range: Sport 2 Sport Batting Cages, $1 for 20 balls. Dinner, Entrées range from $6.49-$17
I will not disclose any personal information without permission.
Saturday: Full of Games
It's cheap, fun and an icebreaker. Head to the pizza buffet and salad bar at Mr. Gatti's. Don't worry about dressing up or having conversation starters. Between the pizza and games, you'll have your hands and mouths full.
you feel like a little flirtatious competition, try your luck at air hockey and video games. Win your sweetie a stuffed animal or even an 'engagement ring.' Once your hands get tired, take a rest and sit in a corner booth with a view of the parking lot. Remember, romance comes in all forms!
After you've relived your childhood at Mr. Gatti's, get down and dirty with some serious poker at Kaspar's Bar and Grill Poker Night. Feel free to down a few Miller Lights and nachos. As you play Texas Hold 'Em, don't feel the need to hold back from getting close to your date.

Q
[Advice that comes with free air conditioning and a pool.]
Do girls ever say "it's that time of the month" when they're hooking up with a guy to keep him from moving any further?
Jay, Freshman
a
Elizabeth: If a girl doesn't want to go any further, she will usually let you know. How she clues you in is generally up to her. If you think she's just telling you that it's her time of the month as an excuse, don't try to go any further. Whether she is or isn't, really doesn't matter, but what does matter is that she may not feel comfortable, and you should definitely respect that.
**Chris:** Although it is possible she's telling the truth, this is one of the oldest girl tricks in the book. It's an easy, conflict-free excuse to keep guys from trying anything below the belt that guys have no rebuttal. **NOTE TO GIRLS:** This trick doesn't deter drunk guys.
Q
I've been "friends with benefits" with my close guy friend for a while, but I recently met a guy I want to start dating. How should I break this off without hurting my friend?
-Sarah, Sophomore
a
Chris: When friends sleep together, there's a good chance someone will get hurt. You should just be honest and straightforward with your friend and tell him what's up. If his feelings for you have grown past those of a friend, don't be surprised if he doesn't want to hang out anymore. He definitely won't want to see you with the new guy, so try to keep them apart for a while. But hopefully, in a month or two, things should be back to normal.
Q
I'm not into bestiality, but seeing an animal eat another animal gets me really horny. What do you think this means?
Catherina, Junior
a
If you have burning questions, don't wait 'till they're flaming. Write to bit.ne@kansan.com and we'll try to soothe the flare-up.
Elizabeth: I'm not sure what exactly it is that you find erotic about that type of material, but there is nothing wrong with the way that you feel. If you are bothered by this, you could seek the advice of a professional in order to uncover the possible reasons why it makes you feel the way that you do.
Chris: I imagine you're turned on by the control the dominating animal has over its prey. And it means you should watch lots of Animal Planet.

Over the River...
...and through the stereotypes. North Lawrence offers more than strip joints. Come find artisan shops, community and a different place to meet God.
THE DANCE OF THE CEREMONIALS
By Neil Mulka Jayplay writer
LEFT: There's more to North Lawrence than beer and titties. This city within a city boasts a tight sense of community and quirk artisans, such as the metal workers at Celestial Ironworks, 619 N. Second St.
On the other side of the brown santorum-like waters of the Kansas River, North Lawrence sits in mystery. Famous for bars and strip joints, the rest of North Lawrence remains largely unknown to KU students. When North Lawrence is mentioned, images of blight and urban wasteland fill students' minds.

Don't let the virtually empty outlet mall and the "low-to-moderate income" neighborhood status fool you. North Lawrence can be cool if given the chance.
Lawn ornaments of metal, dressers that are red
Some college students acquire lawn ornaments in a not-so legal-fashion — in the dead of the night after a few Bud Lights. Trophies of drunken adventure adorn houses all over the "student ghetto." However, those who'd rather take the route that won't lead to county jail can select their favorite animal, religious icon or fairy tale creature from DK's Statuary, 1628 State Highway 40, northeast of Lawrence Municipal Airport. DK's Statuary has hundreds of lawn ornaments lined up in rows on the business' wooden porch and driveway, like a munchkin army from a fantasy movie.
Another North Lawrence business that leaves its products to the elements is Celestial Ironworks. Opened in 1995
by Kelvin and Katheryn Schartz, Celestial Ironworks, 619 N. Second St., makes steel artwork and outdoor decorations ranging from birdbaths to giant sculptures with price tags from $20 to more than $1,000. Starting out in Kelvin

A small town inside a large one
According a 2001 Lawrence Journal-World article, about 2,100 people live in North Lawrence, 75 percent of whom own their own home. Star Straf, North Lawrence resident, bought her three-bedroom house six years ago for $100,000. Straf chose to live in North Lawrence because it's close to downtown and the Interstate 70 turnpike. Straf says her home would cost about 25 percent more if it were
Shartz's garage, the business has grown into a location that has a workshop and a public gallery displaying the artisan's works. Katheryn Shartz says the North Lawrence location suits the couple's business because it's quieter than the rest of the city and is full of quirky people who might buy their products.
south of the Kansas River. Ted Boyle, who has lived in North Lawrence for forty years, says that as more people move to North Lawrence, housing prices increase, but today they are still relatively low. Boyle, president of the North Lawrence Improvement Association, says today's price for a new three-bedroom house in North Lawrence is about $140,000. The
average housing price for all of Lawrence is $150,875, according to the housing price comparison index on www.coldwellbanker.com. Rent in North Lawrence follows the same pattern. Rent played a major role when Amy Ballinger, owner of Amy's Attic, 700 Locust St., chose to locate her antique furniture store in North Lawrence six years ago. She says she saves about $2,000 a month versus a downtown location.
North Lawrence remains largely free of college students and Boyle prefers to keep it that way. The loud, party-hard lifestyle that college students bring can be hard for a family to raise children in. The families in the neighborhood enjoy the quiet and rural small town atmosphere. "We have a neighborhood watch organization," says Straf, who used to live in an apartment off of 23rd Street before moving to North Lawrence. "There is a strong sense of community here. I can walk down the street and chat with my neighbors," she says.
God in the strip mall
There is no doubt that North Lawrence is a growing community, but a traditional symbol of urban blight haunts this neighborhood — the nearly abandoned strip mall. The former Tanger Outlet Factory Center, now the I-70 Business Center, 1035 N. Third St., is a ghost of what it used to be, but a symbol of community springs to life amidst this blight. The virtually empty strip mall used to house many outlet stores.
Part of it now hosts the congregation of Calvary Chapel, Bill Manley, pastor of the nondenominational church, says that having a church in a strip mall like this is unusual in the Midwest but it fulfills the church's needs modern facilities, cheap rent, plenty of parking and a full-time place to worship. Just a year ago this church was holding services in school cafeterias. A lot of churches in California have churches in strip malls, Manley says. "We don't need a place that is ornate to meet. We are saving money by doing this."
The 88,000 square-foot strip mall seems like a ghost town. Other than the church, only a Department of Motor Vehicles office, a Kansas State Highway Patrol office, Office Furniture Warehouse and NCS Pearson are operating. Boyle and Straf say they want a grocery store to open in the strip mall. Right now, Straf goes to Checkers, 2300 Louisiana St., and gas stations for her grocery needs. Boyle says that adding a grocery store to the outlet mall would bring in other businesses that North Lawrence needs, such as a hardware store or a pharmacy.
Despite the lack of basic service shops, Boyle says people who move to North Lawrence stay for a long time.
"I think people get that misconception because people here are honest and straightforward," he says, "I don't think many people know how to take that."

SITTING ON THE DOCK OF THE BAY
The Jerkwater Grille offers great views, food and value and did we mention it floats?
Photos: Jeff Brandsted
By Lauren Bristow, Jayplay writer
CORONADO
Dirty, murky water. Scary lake people. A mediocre beach. Throw away all of your preconceived notions about Clinton Lake because there lies Lawrence's own floating restaurant — The Jerkwater Grill. Make plans to head out to Clinton Lake State Park — you'll be pleasantly surprised at what you'll find.
Nestled in a green, tree-lined cove, The Jerkwater Grill, part of the Clinton Marina, floats atop waters of Clinton Lake. The restaurant is truly floating, says owner Jan Willey. "When it's really windy and the lake is really moving, the restaurant moves with the water," she says. Willey, a retired school teacher, has been cooking up self-described "lake food" for the past five years. Willey's daughter, Megan Hiebert, purchased the marina in 1999 and gave her mother the
existing restaurant space to operate. Willey had never cooked professionally although she says she has always enjoyed cooking. With a little trial and error, Willey has managed to create a local favorite that keeps customers and employees returning summer after summer.
Patrons are offered a panoramic view of the marina, lake and surrounding hillside from both the restaurant's main dining room and its floating patio. Buoys, nets and other nautical-themed items cover the dining room's blue and yellow walls. The restaurant's mismatched chairs and two recycled booths from Hy-Vee's food court
only add to its homestyle, laid-back charm. On a trip to the Lake of the Ozarks several years ago, Willey visited a restaurant that covered its bar's ceiling with wine corks. With the help of marina slip holders and friends from Kansas City, Willey collected and glued hundreds-if not thousands-of corks to boards that adorn one of the restaurant's walls. The cork creation was originally intended to cover The Jerkwater's ceiling. "We were afraid to screw it into the ceiling for fear the rocking of the marina would loosen the screws and cause (the boards) to fall-hurting someone," she says.
Used as a storage area for the marina during the winter, the Jerkwater springs to life Memorial Day weekend and is open every Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday until Labor Day. Regulars enjoy live music each weekend, and Hiebert says she's booked enough acts this year to entertain all summer long. The restaurant's entrance is located inside the marina's convenience store-type shop.
And while the view and laid-back atmosphere are undoubtedly big draws, the Jerkwater's no-nonsense food keeps patrons returning. "We're probably serving everything you shouldn't eat," Willey jokes when describing the menu. Hungry lakegoers can begin their meal with a variety of appetizers including fried dill pickles, one of Willey's favorites. A spicy ranch dipping sauce accompanies the fried condiment and provides the tastebuds with a sour and spicy treat. The menu boasts a variety of sandwich baskets that are served with french fries or cole slaw.
Hamburgers and huge pork tenderloin sandwiches are customer favorites, as is the Jerkwater chicken sandwich, a spicy creation served with coleslaw, says Ben Listner, former Jerkwater employee and December graduate. Listner, a two summer Jerkwater veteran, urges guests to leave room for dessert. "Jan makes this great hot
apple crisp with cinnamon ice cream," says Listner. "That stuff is so good, it makes me want to drive from Chicago just to get some." The Jerkwater also serves dinner specials ranging from fried catfish to pot roast and has a $6.95 breakfast buffet on Saturdays and Sundays featuring biscuits and cream gravy, sausage, eggs, hashbrowns and much more. The average sandwich and fries will run you about $6.25.
Since the Jerkwater is located inside the Clinton Lake State Park, restaurant goers have to stop at the park's office and pay the $6.50 park entrance fee. But don't let the admission fee be a deterrent, the Jerkwater experience is well worth it. "If you have
FOOD DRINK ICE JERKWATER GRILL CLINTON MARINA BASS MASTERS CLASSIC
five people in the car,that's a little over a dollar a piece," Willey says. "That's a lot cheaper than a movie,and you get to enjoy the lake while you're at it." The marina has three pontoon boats available for rental.All you need is a valid driver's license, and you'll be on your way to cruising the lake.

Side Story
Drives and distance over close-to-campus housing? A Westie vs. Eastie mentality? Here's where students choose to live in Lawrence and why.
By Marissa Stephenson, Jayplay writer
Erik Johnson nestles farther down into his blue-and orange-checkered armchair and smiles. "Yeah, people might think of us as the Beverly Hills of Lawrence," he says laughing. The Bloomington, Minn., senior is describing his apartment at The Legends, 4101 W. 24th Place, where the armchair – and every other piece of furniture – came with the now year-old apartment complex. The car detail center, swimming pool and year-round Jacuzzi, BBQ pits, clubhouse complete with fitness center, craft room, computer room and a continental breakfast nook with a big-screen television isn't too shabby either. "The Legends. The name itself sounds a little cocky, a little brash," Johnson says, then shrugs. "But I have everything I need here."
Last year, Johnson lived at 1720 Louisiana St., in a house he describes as "the ugliest green building in Lawrence." He and his five roommates watched mice run through the rooms in the winter and heard squirrels in the attic in the summer. When leasing time came around, Johnson was ready to pay for the smell of fresh paint and new carpet. He signed at The Legends and his commute went from being a short walk to campus to a 10-minute drive from pricier digs. Johnson says the move to West Lawrence was perfect for him. He isn't the only one.
West Lawrence apartment complex capacities, as well as University of Kansas parking statistics and enrollment figures, point to a fresh wave of KU students packing their bags and heading west. Choosing from a saturated Lawrence apartment market, students are picking places farther from campus and often, more expensive than their east-side counterparts. Garth Myers, associate professor of geography, says Lawrence's "student hearth" — that vital, kickin' nucleus of college-aged tenants — is shifting westward. The answers to why this trend is happening and whether it's creating an Outsiders-esque social stereotype are on the minds of students on both sides of Iowa Street.
West Flight
When The Legends apartment complex opened last fall, it rented out half its 200unit capacity. Now there's a waiting list to move in next August. And The Legends isn't the only West Lawrence complex filling up - Parkway Commons, 3601 Clinton Parkway, Lorimar Townhomes, 3801 Clinton Parkway, and Courtside Townhomes, 4100 Clinton Parkway, say they've been operating at 100 percent capacity for the last few years. Representatives for Jefferson Commons, 2511 W.31st St., and Aberdeen Apartments and Townhomes, 2300 Wakarusa Drive, say 2003 marked their highest leasing percentage to date. Yet these glowing rental numbers come amidst a grossly over-built apartment market in Lawrence. Corey Brinkerhoff, owner of Brinkerhoff Realtors in Lawrence, says the onslaught of new apartment construction has tipped the apartment-to-renter ratio. In 2003, Brinkerhoff says Lawrence had the highest rental vacancy in his 25 years in the business. With reports of 100 percent capacity, the vacancy majority isn't in West Lawrence.
Another indicator of a close-to-campus exodus: yellow parking permits. Yellow permits typically ride with the students farthest from campus, and from 2001 to 2002, the KU parking department sold 5,992. From 2002 to 2003, it sold 8,113 yellow permits, a 2,121-permit jump. In that same year, University enrollment increased by 356 students, but the number of students living on campus went down 360. In simple speak: More students are choosing to live off campus, and somewhere that requires a drive. Brinkerhoff says it's the allure of modern and new, over close-to-campus convenience, that has students moving. "Just look at what's happening," Brinkerhoff says. "Students are voting with their rent checks and getting farther and farther away from the University."
The West Lawrence migration is clear-cut logic — new and newer is always more attractive than old, Brinkerhoff says. "People have an aversion to dirt. An occupant wants to think he's the first person to muck a place up," he says. That doesn't necessarily mean houses and apartments in the "student ghetto" — the traditionally student-occupied streets east of campus automatically have a strike against them. Rebuilding and renovation draws renters too, and if it smells like new and looks like new, it's as good as new, Brinkerhoff says. But with a flood of new West Lawrence apartments renting out in record numbers, rebuilding is a risky option for East Lawrence landlords. With waiting lists increasing in West Lawrence, there's no guarantee their rebuilding efforts will bring students back. Brinkerhoff says Lawrence would have seen more redevelopment near campus if it wasn't for the West Lawrence blitz, which is influencing students' choices. "What I see is students choosing a relatively inconvenient location because they don't want to live in someone else's dirt."
Beautiful, Beautiful Boxes
After getting screwed over by a departing roommate their sophomore year, roommates Jennifer Wilson, Union, Mo., senior, and Lindsey Snyder, Odessa, Mo., senior, wanted lease security. They decided on Jefferson Commons, 2511 W. 31 St., because of its individual lease option and laundry list of amenities. Much like The Legends, fully furnished Jefferson Commons offers everything from free tanning to DVD rentals in a just-us-college-kids atmosphere. "Everything they do here is based on our needs and how to make our lives easier," Wilson says. Both Wilson and Snyder say the price — $370 a month, including utilities — was a plus. The complex's reputation was not. "Sometimes I find myself ashamed to say I live here," Wilson admits. "People think of it as this rich kids' out-of-control party place and I defend it saying, 'It really is cheap!'" Priced well with an exceptable appearance, Jefferson Commons rates above the ghetto's older houses to Wilson. A girl with acute insect hatred, she says older houses seem dirty and bug-infested, and just thinking of living in an older house gives her the willies.
Snyder says Jefferson Commons is right for her because she doesn't think of herself as a downtown type of person. "If someone told me they lived in an apartment on Massachusetts Street, I'd think hippie or free spirit," she says. Both girls say safety is another reason for living away from the ghetto. "I have friends that live on 14th and Tennessee and I'm always a bit freaked out to walk around there." Wilson says. "I just wouldn't want to live down there when I have all of this at my disposal. Here, everything's taken care of."
Shannon Gilbert also likes a well-maintained abode. The Overland Park senior moved to The Legends last summer after living three years at Sigma Chi fraternity, 1439 Tennessee St. He says the spacious building and personal bathroom won him and his three roommates over, and he doesn't mind compensating with $470 a month.

He's now lived in East and West Lawrence and says he hasn't noticed an image change between the two places. His only complaint is the distance he has to drive to the downtown bars. "There's definitely been times after the bars when I've just gotten in the car and would've failed a Breathalyzer," Gilbert says. "When I lived closer I'd just walk back to our house on Tennessee Street."
Ghetto Fabulous
At 1406 Tennessee St., in the heart of the student ghetto, Scott Johnson, Basehor senior, sits inside The Sunflower House Cooperative and says why true East Lawrence people can never become West Lawrence people. He gestures around the room. "This place has a damn vulture hanging off the ceiling and a pink concrete donkey in the lounge." The plastic vulture hangs from a ceiling fan and the foot-tall donkey, clad in a beaded princess tiara and pink buster, is the co-op's mascot, Comrade Burrito. "It's so rundown here, you put something a little weird up and it isn't bad. If you hung a vulture up in a West Lawrence apartment, it's interfere with the immaculateness," he says.
Johnson lives at The Sunflower House for the cheap rent — $300 a month including utilities and one meal a day Monday through Thursday — as well as for the close-to-campus location. When asked, he can't think of any friends who don't live in East Lawrence and says the place must draw the kind of people he likes. Johnson talks about the atmosphere of the ghetto, the difference in its character versus the rest of Lawrence, and uses a one-quart burnt metal pot as his example. The pot hangs from the front wall and holds the markers for the dry-erase board. "Three weeks ago someone put that up with a note that said, 'Whoever burned this pot - clean it off'. It's been hanging there ever since, and may be there forever. That's the kind of eclectic history you get in a place like this."
It's neighborhood community and character that keep Ariel Sherman, Hays junior, in the ghetto. Sherman is a know-your-neighbor gal, and off the top of her head counts 20 nearby friends. She says she'll never live in an apartment complex like Jefferson Commons because it's cookiecutter and more like off-campus dorms. Sherman, like West Lawrence students, says she has everything she needs in her one bedroom apartment on the bottom floor of a sagging house. There's spiders and cobwebs, ants in the kitchen, and her bedroom floor's foundation is raised three inches in the center — "It shifts my mattress and comforter off the bed every night," she says — yet she loves it, even when she's sick of it. Literally. "There's mold and I definitely think I've gotten sick from being here," she says wiping her hand down a wall. "But it doesn't bother me enough to not want to live in a place like this. It's cheap, it's me and that's good enough. I'm not that sick."

I wish I may, I wish I might
An increasing student crowd may be moving to West Lawrence, but not without a few sorrowful over-the-shoulder glances at homes that might have been. "When students are deciding where to live, there seems to be a line down Iowa," says Travis Weller, Garden City senior. Weller chose his apartment at Villa 26, 28594 Wheel Drive, because it's cozy, quiet and new, but wishes he lived closer to downtown and campus. "When I meet someone for the first time, I'm like, 'I know, I don't live in a cool part of town, or in a charming old house.'" Weller, who's downtown at least five times a week, says friends complain about taking him home "clear out" to West Lawrence and never want to hang out at his place on weekend bar nights. Weller finds himself justifying to his friends why he lives west of Iowa Street — "But I'm downtown all the time! It's a really nice apartment!" Ultimately he says it would take rebuilding of the more rundown areas near campus to encourage him to move.
Anna Baldwin's concerned mother keeps her from moving close to campus. "My mom doesn't want me living any place rundown and messy," the Overland Park junior says. Not that she's complaining about her Leanna Mar lodgings, 4501 Wimbedon Drive, Her four-bedroom townhome has vaulted ceilings, a fabulous three-bathroom-to-four-roommate ratio and the swankiest of amenities — a faux fireplace that turns on with a switch. Still, Baldwin says she'd rather have the student ghetto's greater sense of community over the isolation she feels being so far west of campus. "Some days I'll want to go to a party in the ghetto, but I don't want to drive all the way out, so I'll stay here, in the middle of nowhere," she says. Baldwin says when she does make it across town, she'll sometimes get teased over her Johnson County roots. "People will say, 'Hey, what are you doing here? Aren't you from Johnson County? Go back to West Lawrence!'" she says. "Of course, I think they're joking."
Decisions, Decisions
Lawrence only spans five miles east to west with the University at the center, but a potential drive to campus forces students looking for dorm-room replacements to consider their priorities. Driving and closeness aren't factors for Keegan Miller, Anthony freshman. He says his first priority is price range; his second is appearance. "I just don't care about being close to campus anymore," Miller says. He and five friends are searching for an apartment and he says only West Lawrence meets their wants. Miller says most of his other friends are making the West Lawrence move too. "It's just lots of people coming here with their parents' money to spend, and they want quality," he says.
100-200
Some students feel differently. Kyle Stearns, Derby sophomore, is psyched to move into his four-bedroom Mississippi Street house, which he says embodies the ghetto's old-school charm and gives him a killer location. Stearns says he found a chic duplex on Clinton Parkway with bigger rooms for the same price as his Mississippi house, but the drive kept him away. "I was afraid I'd never do anything, being all the way out there," he says.
Student Housing - Best Western?
"Being all the way out there in West Lawrence housing is just where students ought to be, says Kirk McClure, associate professor of urban planning. In a city made up of 50 percent rental stock, older East Lawrence neighborhoods are increasingly turning over to renter-occupied housing, forcing out modest-income families and blighting the backbone of the city, McClure says. These renter properties frequently run down faster when landlords decide to "milk" the home, or get as many leases as possible for the least amount of money, and then the area becomes a place where no one wants to raise a family. But if apartment development continues to crop up in West Lawrence, owners have less of an incentive to turn their properties into rental units for students. "Those newer apartments are great; they're relieving the pressure to go rental," McClure says. "We have to make a judgment call for the single-family units, and those West apartments are where students should be."
It only takes a (relatively) quick drive west of Iowa Street to see the differences between the new developmental extension and downtown Lawrence. It's an area of convenience, with grocery stores and restaurants, but one without distinction. A place that feels like you could be anywhere, says Garth Myers, associate professor of geography. Myers says the area's similarity to Kansas City suburbs could be why students from suburbs choose to live in West Lawrence. "People who grew up in a place like

TOP: West Lawrence apartments might be more comfortable for Johnson County kids looking for somplace that looks like home. ABOVE LEFT: Big porches are a launching pad for social interaction in the "student ghetto." ABOVE RIGHT: When students think West Lawrence, they think immaculate kitchens.
Johnson County will most times be more comfortable in an area that reminds them of home," he says.
Looking out her Leanna Mar townhome window, Baldwin may not feel comfort, but she is reminded of home. "This is exactly the same as my home in Overland Park - clean, manicured, but lacking any real personality," she says.
As West Lawrence sprawls farther out, Myers says the city of Lawrence could go in two directions. The first, development that could lead to a separation that breaks the city apart. "Once West Lawrence grows big enough to need city services on their side of town, you can get a West Lawrence population that never goes downtown and East Lawrence residents who never cross Iowa Street," he says. His second possibility, developers putting dollars back into East Lawrence. "We could have a revitalization of downtown, a real renewal in the central business district that increases the cash flow." When asked to bank on which direction the city was headed, Myers was torn. "In my pessimistic moments, I see it going the first way. More optimistic times, I hope for the second," he says.
As a realtor sizing up the market, Brinkerhoff sees a future in Myers' second option. Brinkerhoff says Lawrence will come full-circle, harking back to decades past, the Oread neighborhood will become the "cool" place to live again. The property is changing hands and new landlords are ready to rebuild and attract renters with housing that has antique appeal on the outside and like-new features on the inside, he says. "Oread lost its luster because it hasn't been well maintained, but in 10 years, I don't think you'll see any more rundown houses. Once they look brand new, I think they'll become the place to be."
Sinking farther into his furnished Legends armchair, Johnson makes an arm-sweep motion over his apartment and says, "This is convenience. That's why I'm here." He lists his Legends' loves: the peace and quiet, the complimentary yogurt-and-bagel breakfast, the basketball court right outside his door. It's services like this that draw him, and a growing number of KU students, farther away from close-to-campus housing. The housing's ritzier, with more amenity snazz, and the students living there say these kinds of features attract all types, not just suburbanites or the fabulously wealthy.
As much as he enjoys his West Lawrence place, Johnson offers one contrary bit of advice to any freshmen or sophomores: Live close. "You get to feel the campus collective energy, and really get to know your neighbors," he says. "I see West Lawrence as a junior-senior kind of place. Come here when you're ready for a laid-back atmosphere, when you're ready to graduate."

PLEASE WON'T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?
If you're the new kid on the block, don't hang tough. Knock down your neighbor's door and say, "Hi, my name is..."
By Liz Gibson, Jayplay writer

In Kansas, August is the hottest month of the year. It's also when most students move back to Lawrence for the fall semester. Last fall, my dad crammed his flat-bed truck with two of my dressers, a bed, lamps and odd and ends. I had just finished unpacking my own car when he pulled up in front of my house. The thought of more unloading made my knees weak. But as my dad and I attempted to slide the furniture off the truck's tailgate, three of my new neighbors came to our rescue.
The guys unloaded everything and carried it into the house. Their generosity and friendliness made me feel at home. And as my roommates and I settled in, we were welcomed by other students living in the area.
Approaching strangers makes most people a little uneasy, but neighbors aren't really strangers when you see them every week. Introducing yourself right off the bat can alleviate awkward smiles and nods. Neighbors aren't only good for an extra hand or a cup of sugar, but for allies when you throw a party. Let's be honest. If the cops break up your shindig, don't let your snobby behavior be the cause.
Baked goods proved to be a good ice breaker for Kari Hamlin, who greeted her new neighbor with a batch of chocolate chip cookies. "I wanted to welcome her to the neighborhood and to let her know that if she needed anything that we were just next door," Hamlin says. The Garden City senior grew up in a nurturing neighborhood where child-rearing was a community task. She says her neighbors took care of each other. "It's small-town behavior." Hamlin says.
Regardless if you're a newcomer or a veteran to the area, if someone's face doesn't look familiar, introduce your self. If you don't bake, a friendly smile and an honest handshake works just as well. I have plenty of small-talk training under my belt, thanks to sorority recruitment. The three cardinal questions I swear by are: Where are you from? What's your major? Why did you choose KU?
Are you both bored yet? Try steering the conversation toward common ground, like the area, things to do in town, KU sports or where to go for a
good drink special. When it's time to say "so long," be friendly, relaxed and easy-going. You want to be cool, right? Leave your neighbor thinking he or she would want to run into you at a later date.
Inventing unique ways to approach a neighbor can be effective, too. No, I'm not talking about putting a bag of flaming poop on your neighbor's doorstep. www.soyouwanna.com calls it the "cup of sugar" technique. Knock on your neighbor's door and ask for sugar or an equally non-threatening ingredient. Make sure you actually use the ingredient to bake something. Offer him or her a piece of your dessert as a thank you. Borrowing tools is another technique for meeting neighbors. But be sure to return the item that same day.
If anything, introducing yourself to a neighbor is a good safety mechanism. Hamlin, who lives in a townhouse near 27th Street and Crestline, didn't suspect her neighbor was shady but admits the thought has crossed her mind. "Ultimately, you always want to know who your neighbors are in case they're weird or something," she says.
Weird, loud, annoying or mysterious neighbors come in all shapes and sizes, but remember to give each neighbor an equal opportunity introduction.

{HOW TO}
Organizing a get-together is an easy way to meet all your neighbors in one swoop. www.soyouwanna.com offers some tips on how to make your pow-wow neighborhood-friendly:
★ Don't make the party too late at night.
★ Don't have the party during a work dav.
★ Buy more than enough food.
Supply plenty of non-alcoholic drink alternatives (but don't forget the booze!).
★ Have party activities ready to go (music, dancing, board games).
Make sure that you say "No Presents" on the invitation or flyer. Otherwise, your neighbors might be stressed out about what to get you...or they might not want to get you anything and decide not to come.

The Mediterranean Market and Cafe 3300 W. 15th St.
Delicious combinations of the north and the south make this Mediterranean spot a close encounter with exotic dishes at a reasonable price. If the muse comes down and inspires you to make the dishes yourself, there is a Mediterranean market two steps away from your chair with a wide array of Arabic food and other rare ingredients.
Shenago Lounge 2907 W. 6th St.

Everything about this bar is low key, from the dimly-lit interior to the location; it's almost hidden behind Imperial Garden. You won't find many college kids in the small, intimate bar, as most of the patrons are older folk. The music is a bit older too, with many
CDs by various blues and country artists. Shenago is also one of the few bars in town that chills its shot glasses along with its mugs and pint glasses.
75th Street Brewery 3512 Clinton Parkway
Just because you moved to West Lawrence doesn't mean you have to drive all the way to Free State Brewery to have great local microbrews. Located in what used to be Emerson Biggens, 75th Street Brewery offers four freshmade brews, from pale ales to stouts, served in mugs, pint glasses and half-gallon jugs to take home for $9. The large bar has plenty of seats and TVs, which could be next season's hot spot during March Madness.
The Pool Room 925 Iowa St.
When you absolutely, positively must play pool while drinking, head to The Pool Room, it has 28 pools tables to show off your skills in Cutthroat or 9-Ball. Although the selection isn't anything fancy, the beer supply is plenty to wet your whistle whether you're schooling your friends or getting schooled. It also has a digital jukebox with a variety of

artists from Audioslave to Ween. For those wanting to shake your tail feathers, stop by on Thursday nights for Maracas, located in the back room of the bar.
Henry T's 3520 W. 6th St.
Join the crowds every Monday after 6 p.m. for the fresh made two-for-one burger special. If your flow's low, bring your partner here for the best for your money. The Burgundy burger blends the strong scent of Burgundy (a red wine from East central France) with a juicy, thick piece of meat that together with all the veggies and tennis-raquet potato chips is a blessing from Burger God for less than $5.

It's interesting enough to eat raw fish with rice, but it's rather an exhibition to see the cooks at Kokoro work their pans on the fry. Watch your vegetables and meat go flying only to end on the grill, chopped and ready for a dish steaming in heat. Bring your friends for a good night of Sake Bombs (a drink that entails dropping a sake cup in a beer glass after a peculiar chopstick structure is assembled on top of the glass).
Kokoro
The Moon Bar 821 Iowa St.
Enjoy Asian ambiance without having to go to a sushi restaurant every time. Try some Asian beers such as Sapporo, Tsingtao or Asaki at the marble-top bar, view the illuminated Asian illustrations on the walls and play some pool. After you've had a few and are in the drunken mood to sing, wail your heart out in one of the bar's five karaoke rooms, available on an hourly basis.

Man on Fire
R. 12 minutes, South Wind 12 Theatre
Tony Scott's revenge thriller *Man on Fire* starts off soft as teddy bear and then plunges into a violent fantasy familiar to classic 1970s cinema. Like the *Dirty Harry* and *Death Wish* series, the film is bleak, pastiche and ultimately an capital punishment.*
The softer part involves a retired assassin named Creasy (Denzel Washington) and his friendship with Rita (Dakot) Fanning; the little girl he has been hired to protect during a rash of kidnappings in Mexico City. The opening sequence will test the patience of action fans as it stretches to nearly an hour slogging through the same kind of embarrassing meipdramatics that marry my grammar-school friends hit the fast forward button during home viewings of Scott's
The violence begins after Pita's inevitable kidnapping Creasy vows to take down the shadowy organization responsible, La Hermandad, and starts by cutting off the fingers of one of Pita's abductors. Shot with an emphasis on hallucinatory imagery by cinematographer Paul Cameron, Man on Fire features powerful performances by Washington and the remarkable Fanning. However, the film refuses to derive too deeply into its hero's psychotic behavior. Scott is content to direct a sick, dumb thrill ride, never stopping to consider the moral questions so evident on the screen.

Stay up late with Zelda and Castlevania 3. Blow on cartridge end to get out the dust. Enter the Contra code (30 lives: U, U,D,D,L,R,L,R,B,A, select, start). This was all a part of growing up in the world Nintendo brought to us in the mid '80s.
The Advantage, four guys out of California, want to take you back there with their rocked out riffs and dead on recreations of classic NES game themes. While not the first Nintendo cover band, they definitely break away, from the rest with their complex, melody-infused guitar arrangements and overall sound.
Songs such as "Bubble Bobble"," "Super Mario Bros. 2: Overworld." and "Ninja Gaiden: Mine Shaft" can't help but make the head shake in disbelief and eyes gaze in awe. Be warned, however, that these 26 tracks are short and are at times repeated for a little too long.

One of the most influential avant-rock bands of the early '80s (if not ever) is back with its first recording in 22 years. Never in my life did I expect to have a new Mission of Burma record in my hands. What's crazy is that it still could sound like a proper follow-up to 1982's Vs.,with its scrambled gloomy post-punk not aging a minute. Roger Miller still can carry out a worthwhile melody even though by now, he probably can't hear much of anything (he is supposedly neardeaf). While I think this won't impress as many people as Vs. or their first EP Signais Calls and Matches, I don't think fans will even care.

If you don't like the corny analogy than just accept that Lerche is a master of taking pop music's simplistic emotions and dropping them right inside a whirlwind of folksy, Indie turmoil. Monologue is balanced, honest and good for the soul.

Time to Brush it Aside
By Neil Mulka, Jayplay writer
On Thursday, Jan. 22, I did something that turned my stomach like the sight of chunky milk in the back of the fridge.
I woke up and walked through my house to the bathroom, grumbling as I feel the dried spillage of god knows what on the floor with my bare feet. Upon entering the bathroom, I reach for my toothbrush, my mighty sword I use daily to slay the evil dragonbreath terrorizing my mouth kingdom. With the sword dipped in the gleaming tincture created by the mystical wizard Colgate of the Palmolive clan, the deadly beast will soon meet its doom.
Do-tich! Do-tich! Do-tich! Do-tich! Do-tich! The beast and I battle in the high
solar Mountains. Slur! Slur! Slur! Slur! Slur! We tango on the sensitive Gumline
coast. Wocha-Wocha-Wocha-Wocha-Wocha-Wocha, the sound of the deadly dance on
the Isle of Incisor and then we meet on the Tongue Plain, the beast trembling, reduced
to a mere salamander. I spit and rinse of this pathetic creature in triumph.
The battle is over, I rinse my trusty tool and then the horror strikes me as I hold the brush in my hand. This toothbrush is white with yellow grips and says "Iowa School of Dentistry." My toothbrush is embossed with "Heartland Dental."
If my mirror were a computer screen at that moment, there would a white box with a little bomb saying "Error #dumbass! THAT WASN'T YOUR TOOTHBRUSHI
Movement in my body was impossible — I was a statue. A warm, wet feeling crept through my body slowly like honey filling a jar. I realize I committed a social taboo—bless me father for I have sinned. It's routine, normal and almost involuntary. An after-morning and before-bed ritual.
Suddenly I could hear that song in my head I heard in the mess hall of Camp Cris Dobbin everyday, at every meal when I was a 12-year-old Boy Scout.
Brushing teeth.
"Brush your teeth.
Round and Roundl
Circle small,
gums and alll
Brush your teeth carefully
three times a day
to keep your gums healthy
The counselors would frolic through the wooden confines of the mess hall and sing this hymn about oral hygiene as we finished off meals of soggy fried chicken and Tang, the orange drink that was cheaper than Kool-Aid.
and fight tooth decay!
Teeth brushing was drilled into my head during my formative years by my parents, grandparents and Mrs. Berger, my 300-pound second-grade teacher who moved desks in aisles with her thighs.
All them taught me the rules of brushing just like the old shopkeeper in "Gremlins" taught Billy how to take care of Mogwai; brush before and after bed, brush the tongue, AND NEVER, EVER USES SOMEONE ELSE'S TOOTHBRUSH. The last rule was uttered like a Southern Baptist minister from Alabama. Oh, the horrors, coming from inserting a someone else's tool of dental hygienel Just as dangerous as unprotected sex and as disturbing as eating what you thought was cheesedip but was actually roommates' tanning lotion.
The rest of the day I wondered if the person whose toothbrush I used knew that I used it. Will it taste different? Different toothpastes have different flavors. Perhaps that person will smell my morning dragonbreath on that brush. Holy crap, what if that person had herpes? I can see the conversation with my girlfriend right now. "Ya see, honeybunny, most people get herpes from a hooker. Me, well I'm a special case . . ."
But six weeks later, my mouth is still in place all of the same germs hopping around like the ones in Dr. Mario. No one I share bathroom space with has reported any new mouth maladies. For now I have dodged a bullet a bullet I will never have to dodge again.
My brush is on the other side of the sink now.

sic stuck in your head. All right, now imagine having it stuck in there for three days. That's what happened to Marcia Williams, Salina senior, earlier this semester.
In fact, the song became such a distraction for Williams that she started singing it in different voices in her head. She sang it as the Queen of England, the
Crocodile Hunter and the Count from Sesame Street, among others.
It even affected her in the classroom.
It even affected her in the classroom. "I was there at eight in the morning, and I had no clue what my professor was saying," Williams said. "Yeah, it's pretty sad."
Perhaps Williams was an exceptional case, but most people have had a song stuck in their head at some point in their lives.
A survey conducted in 2003 by James Kellaris, marketing professor at the University of Cincinnati, showed that 98 percent of people have experienced this phenomenon.
But what makes a song stick?
"Purple haze, all in my brain, lately things just don't seem the same."

But continued conflict has ensured this weekend's Iraq conference at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics will be anything but a pleasant reflection.
One year ago, when President Bush declared an end to major combat operations in Iraq, this May could have been a time.for reflection on a job well done.
The conference, "One Year After 'Victory' in Iraq: International and Domestic Perspectives," will feature speakers from around the country discussing issues critical to the year-long occupation of the country.
"It's critical because Iraq is the foreign policy issue in America today," said James M. Lindsay, vice president of the Council on Foreign Relations and the keynote speaker at the conference. "It's as simple as that."

A year later, lessons learned from tornado

Jill Kennedy did not have to worry about her safety during last year's tornado in Lawrence. She and her boyfriend were safe in the Kansas Union, far from where the tornado touched down.

Instead, the Ellsworth senior was worried about the status of her townhouse.
red about the situation.
"Not knowing if you had a place to live
was very nerve-racking," Kennedy said.
Kansan File Photo
Kennedy's townhome in Aberdeen Apartments was located in the 2300 block of Wakarusa Drive and was in the middle of the area hardest hit by the tornado. All told, the Kansas Insurance Department said last year's tornadoes were destructive enough to cause more than $5 million in damage in Lawrence.
When Kennedy heard about the tornado, she tried to head back to her house. The trip took longer than usual. There was a lot of traffic and emergency response crews had blocked the entrance to her townhouse.
Though tornadoes have only hit Lawrence twice since 1981, last year's storm offered important lessons for emergency response teams and Lawrence residents.
It took about half way through July for the Aberdeen Apartments to be repaired. The management had to fix structural damage to some of the apartments.
Once she got through, the storm's destruction was difficult to handle. She said she was overwhelmed by the power of the tornado and the destruction it caused. Broken glass from shattered windows and cracked walls greeted Kennedy when she arrived.
The damage on Kennedy's townhouse was not as extensive as other buildings in her neighborhood. The house across the street, for example, was demolished.
After the storm, Kennedy stayed with friends for a couple days before moving back into the townhouse. Her roommates had to stay away longer because their rooms sustained more damage.
It took until about halfway through July for everything at her townhouse to be repaired. Aberdeen Apartments had

KU Symphony Orchestra to conclude concert season
The KU Symphony Orchestra will be concluding its concert season at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Lied Center.
Uljanov came to the University in August 2003.
The concert will mark the last of Nicholas Ulijanov's first year as director of orchestral activities.
The musical pieces that will be performed are at a higher difficulty level than any of the orchestra's concerts this year, said Steve MacDonald, Reading, Mass., graduate student.
MacDonald, who also works as graduate assistant to Uljanov and conductor of the new KU Camerata orchestra, said the concert was a big step for the student musicians.
"It's a culmination of all the work that the orchestra has done," MacDonald said. "It gives the audience a clear indication of their improvement."
The concert will feature musical pieces by composers such as Chalkovsky, Schubert and Musei
Mukovsky, Schubert and Mussorgsky "We're only able to present music of this difficulty because of the combined work everyone has put in," MacDonald said.
Tickets are $5 for students and $7 for adults.

The symposium will feature three speakers from Japan and three University professors, said LeaMarie Herron, community relations coordinator of the Center for East Asian Studies.
Economic issues such as the declining economy in Japan and the relationship between East Asian countries and the United States have a significant impact on Kansas and Missouri, Herron said.
"We wanted to let people know about these issues, and how it affects their daily livas in Kansas," she said.
Herron said 60 people were registered for the free event. Students interested in attending can register at the English Room in the Union at 8 a.m.

Fuel prices throughout Kansas increase by 10 cents or more
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Fuel prices across the state and the nation continued to reach all-time highs yesterday as demand remained strong and supply reduced. To firm up prices, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries has kept supplies tight, most recently by approving a 4 percent cut in its output target starting last month.
Att the same time, refineries are begin ning to switch over from their winter blends to making an array of cleaner burning summer blends.
"Put that on top of OPEC reducing the flow of crude into the United States and peak demand, that's why we are seeing peak prices as we speak," said Tom Palace, executive director of the Petroleum Marketets and Convenience Store Association of Kansas.
In Kansas, prices jumped by 10 cents or more Wednesday and overnight yesterday in Kansas City and Wichita.

Republican leaders abandon no-new-taxes school plan
TOPEKA — Republican leaders abandoned a $66 million, no-new-taxes school finance plan yesterday without submitting it to Senate consideration, pushing legislators toward a larger proposal relying on higher taxes.
Senate President Dave Kerr (R- Hutchinson) said it made no sense for senators to vote on the plan given that a bipartisan House coalition was standing firm on a $155 million school aid plan that passed that chamber last month.

The University Career and Employment Services office opened with a new name and a new area of service on Monday when it completed its merger with the Career Counseling and Planning Services.
The University Career Center is located at the 110 Burge Union office, and David Gaston, director of the University Career Center, said the center could now help students throughout their entire college careers.
Gaston said freshmen and sophomores who had previously used Career Counseling and Planning Services, as well as juniors and seniors in the college of liberal arts and sciences who had used University Career and Employment Services, can use the center for career and major planning as well as for resume and job search resources.
The center will also provide personalized career counseling and administer career interest tests such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.
type indicators Dick Nelson, assistant director of counseling and psychological services, said between 2,500 and 3,000 students used the career counseling services in the past year.
Gaston said the office is planning to increase the number of students it sees.

"The offices are very collaborative." Gaston said. "We're trying to make more opportunities available to students."

KU students take book buybacks to the Internet

Kansas staff writer
As finals week approaches, students can choose among a variety of stores around town or a growing number of Internet exchange sites to trade in textbooks for quick cash.
During the past two years, two Web sites were created to accommodate students at the University of Kansas.

sit. "You can cut out the middleman — the bookstores — and save money on both sides," he said.
However, there are disadvantages to using an online exchange program, Johnson said, such as buying the wrong version of a text. Students who want to sell their books also have to take the time to register and post the necessary information such as prices and titles of the book.
After students find a buyer for their book online, they must arrange a meeting time with each to exchange the book for cash or check.
check.
"Maybe it's not for everyone,
but I think it's worth the time," Johnson said.
BuyBlueBooks.com also allows students to set their own prices for textbooks.
"We were tired of getting ripped off by the bookstores," said Tommy Mathew, Olathe senior and creator of BuyBlue-Books.com.
Mathew said 250 to 270 people were registered on the site, and the number of users typically increased at the beginning and end of each semester.
Mathew said he and 10 other students worked together to run the site and organization.
Like sites such as amazon.com, registered users on BuyBlueBooks.com can post books and other items they want to sell.
"After all of us graduate, it'll still be going." Matthew said.
sure be going. Matthew
Drew Farmer said he had
success with the exchange site
the last two semesters and
would continue to use it. The
Spring Hill junior said he went
to the bookstores on campus
during his first two years but realized he could earn extra money by using the exchange site.
"When I went to sell my books at the bookstore, the buyback was ridiculously low," Farmer said. "Saving money is the obvious advantage of the site, and you don't have to wait in line at the bookstore."
Bill Getz, textbook manager for the KU Bookstores at the Kansas and Burge Unions, said he liked the variety of competition in Lawrence and thought Web site exchange programs had little effect on his stores.
"You have no guarantee that you're going to get a customer for your book," Getz said. "I'm very confident you will find that book for book, the KU Bookstores will pay the highest prices."
For some groups, it can be difficult and expensive to gather information such as
books required for next semester's classes, said Kristin Vickers, manager of the University Book Shop, 1116 W. 23rd St.
2354 S.
Vickers said anyone could request that information from the University for a fee of about $1,000.
Despite new online options, students such as Matt Webb still prefer to sell their textbooks back to the campus bookstores.
"There's a lot to be said about not having the hassle of ordering online and not knowing what you're going to get," the Stilwell junior said.
Webb said he would consider using an online exchange site in the future, but for this semester. he would take his books to the first bookstore he walked by on campus.

Smokers beware: Petition is bad
Local bars and restaurants prepared to put away their ashtrays and close their smoking sections by July 1 after Tuesday's City Commission vote. The smoking ban in Lawrence's will include all

"enclosed public places."
If the opponents of the ban continue on their self-destructive mission to
put the issue to a citywide vote, those ashtrays and smoking sections will be even less likely to ever come back.
The opponents of the ban, such as Red Lyon owner Jerry Neverve, plan to get the needed 3,764 signatures of registered Lawrence voters on a petition, forcing the issue of the smoking ban to be included on the voting ballot as a referendum. Their target is the primary election ballot in August.
This strategy has the potential to blow up in the pro-smoking group's face. If the issue is on the ballot, and the vote is in favor of the smoking ban, the ban will carry much more weight than the decision of five elected officials.
Because the anti-smoking groups are more mobilized than those that oppose the ban, the smokers will have an uphill battle to win the vote. Groups such as Clean Air Lawrence have already won over the city's elected officials with more than a year of organized lobbying, while in newspaper story after story, the ban's opposition seems to consist of bar and restaurant owners. Also, having a vote in August may mean that students who live outside Lawrence, a group which has a large stake in any smoking ban, might not be able to make their voices heard.
The opposition to the antismoking ban should take time to make its case heard loud and clear and to mobilize people against the ban. For example, it could register new voters who are outraged by the ban in time for their votes to count in trying to bring it down.
MUSIC OF MY MIND

HORRIBLE TRAVESTIES, COURTESY OF THE RIAA

Recording Industry is a punk
"...It's part of their plans to make us think that it's all about partying and dancing. Yo, it might sound good when you spit it in your rap, but in reality don't live nobody like that." — Dead Prez "Radio Freq" from the 2004 Album RBG: Revolutionary But Ganesta
I was stricken with a flash of panic when I learned that two unnamable KU students are being sued for downloading music in the latest episode of the Recording Industry Association of America's renewed hunt for young witches.
Relief from my fears came soon, though, as I reasoned that our pair of Jane and/or John Does could not possibly be me. Those two identity-free individuals — known only by their computers' unique IP addresses, the virtual fingerprints that linked them to these crimes — were busted for downloading songs by Rage Against the Machine and 98 Degrees, among others.
The RIAA claims that those of us who prefer to get our Coldplay from Kazaa are responsible for a 15 percent decline in CD sales since 2000. It has been crying foul since the fall of Napster — insisting that music file-sharers such as the two among us are going to ruin music.
I would never download a Ruge album. Those brothers deserve my cash.
As for 98 Degrees, I'd rather download a virus-ridden e-mail attachment.
If agents of the record industry knew what the folks who live in Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall and McCollum Hall knew right about now, they would know that no matter how much Snoop and 2Pac they download, the ResNet gangster freshmen down the hall ain't ruining nothing.
On April 29, Rolling Stone reported that economists at Harvard and the University of North Carolina found that filesharing is not the cause of declining CD

sales. This study, co-authored by Felix Oberholzer-Gee of the Harvard Business School, is the most comprehensive analysis available.
As the RIAA continues to chase ResNet surfers, this most recent economic data leave it with no real foundation to its arguments. Even though the economists say that swapping music online is as harmless to the industry as listening to the radio, the RIAA hunt for residence hall music pirates persists. Though KU students are among the most recent, we are not the lone suspects in the RIAA's search for those who, according to it, insist on downloading and tarnishing the industry as we know it.
Industry moguls need to recognize that long before any of us logged on to Napster, the industry was already doing the cultural work of ruining itself.
The industry that once allowed for diversity and expression in the form of Blue Note, Stax, Sun Records, and others has become a cesspool of homogeneity. The creativity that once had a home in the mass market has been made out of vogue by profitability — which is just about the only thing that matters to today's industry leaders.
They have sold us image after image of what we are supposed to be—if it ain't gangster, it ain't rap. If it ain't a midriff, it ain't sexy, and if it ain't ghetto, it ain't authentic. The Napster generation is guilty of anything, it is of believing them.
The people policing our dorms for tech-savvy boy-band lovers are the same people who attempt to tell us what is real by selling us unhealthy images of poor folks, of ethnic minorities, of women, of masculinity — of ourselves.
If the major labels were interested in artistic integrity and the moral character of the current generation of file-sharers, they would invest in school music, art and technology programs so that we can create the next generation of instrumentalists, vocalists and sonic technicians.
If they really cared about what artists were losing in profits, they would not sign those artists to exploitative contracts in the first place. They would give those people the creative room and the marketing force to be inventive beyond the recycled themes of violence and irresponsibility.
Why do the big record labels continue to invest in sex and excess when there are plenty of artists who are already poised to provide intelligent alternatives on a large scale?
Market researchers say that sex and violence sell albums, and that other things just don't sell as well. During the past two decades, innovative marketers have created audiences for pet rocks, toy slime and remix-it-yourself soda. I find it hard to believe that they cannot create an audience for intelligent music.
I nope that the record industry and its market-driven way of doing things dies a complicated yet speedy death. I'm waiting for the day when I don't have to hide my love of pop music — a day when I can be proud of a popular music standard will be one rooted in artistry and creativity — not sex and shock. There are more than 3,500 songs on the iPod in my back pocket. Hopefully they will last me until then.

All right. Let's think this through before we start pointing any fingers. Students share files and download music from the Internet. Is it illegal? Sure. By now everybody knows this. At the same time, though, what do these government-mandated lawsuit's want to accomplish? They are, essentially, attempting to get money from students who have to dig through their couch cushions to go out and drink on Friday night.
the Internet. Copyright restrictions allow anywhere from $750 to $150,000 to be collected per song.
Lawsuits are not the answer to curbing illegal file sharing on the Internet. It should be apparent
to the RIAA that the 2,454 lawsuits that it has filed since last summer have done little to stop people from sharing music.
One of the KU students under investigation was reportedly caught while downloading music by Journey, 98 Degrees and Alabama, among other bands. Is this user guilty of bad taste? Most definitely. But stealing — the grounds on which the lawsuits are filed? Not a chance.
Artists and recording companies that continue to create a stink about people downloading their music from file-sharing programs instead of going to Best Buy and paying $18 for it need to realize that: Number one, they're already disgustingly,
needlessly rich (looking at you, Metallica). No.2, file sharing is something that will always be around. No.3, there isn't enough time in a day to catch even an eighth of a percent of the amount of people who actually download music.
What it really comes down to is that no matter what steps the government or recording industry takes to help curtail file sharing, there will always be someone who's much smarter and will figure out a way around the barriers. Fact is, he or she is out there right now, probably laughing, downloading songs from Limewire while counting the coins that the love seat yielded.

Computer chip latest upgrade to Adidas shoe
The Associated Press
PORTLAND. Ore. — Adidas says it has created the world's first "smart shoe" by mating it with a computer chip that adapts its cushioning level to a runner's size and stride.
The Adidas 1 is the product of a three-year secret project the German company developed at its U.S. headquarters in Portland, Ore.
"This is the first intelligent shoe ever. It senses, understands and adapts."
Erich Stamminger global marketing director for Adidas
Yesterday, Adidas opened its research lab to reporters from around the world for a first peek at a shoe the company claims will
revolutionize distance running and training.
"This is the first intelligent shoe ever," said Erich Stamminger, global marketing director for Adidas. "It senses, understands and adapts."
After thousands of hours of testing, Adidas is confident the computerized shoe will endure the wear-and-tear of running in almost any condition — from hard pavement to dirt trails, and
The microprocessor is located in the arch of the shoe, and drives a tiny screw and cable system that adjusts the heel cushion depending on the signals sent back by an electric sensor coupled to a magnet.
It is powered by a battery that conserves power by adjusting the shoe while it is in the air during a runner's stride, avoiding resistance from the ground.
The entire assembly weighs no more than 40 grams—just 10 percent of the 400-gram total weight of the shoe, to keep it light enough for distance runners.
But the $250 price tag is likely to make it a luxury item when it first goes on sale in December, said Paul Swangard, managing director of the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon.

TOPEKA — A buffalo will grace the back of the Kansas quarter when it's issued next year, and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius promises its horns will be properly positioned.
Where the buffalo roam: Final quarter design chosen

Students from 211 high schools throughout the state selected the coin from among four designs. The State Board of Canvassers announced yesterday that 36 percent of the 48,080 students voting picked the buffalo design for the coin's reverse side.
minted, she said.
After looking at the buffalo drawing, Dave Carter, executive director of the National Bison Association near Denver, agreed the horns are little off kilter.
"We will make sure the bison is correctly drawn before it is minted," she said.
The buffalo is the official state animal. Sebelius said Kansas is the first state to have the animal incorporated in its state quarter design.
"They are pointing a little bit forward. It looks a little like the toro bull getting ready to go into a bullfight," Carter said. "But don't get us wrong. We are tickled. It's nice to have a buffalo on the back of the coin."
Sebelius acknowledged after the selection there have been some questions raised about the position of the buffalo's horns —some say they point forward rather than up. But she said the drawing was just a prototype from the U.S. Mint.

FDA rejects morning-after pill
The Associated Press
Proponents immediately accused the Food and Drug Administration of bowing to conservative political pressure — noting that the agency had overruled its own scientific advisers, who had overwhelmingly called easier access to emergency contraception a safe way to prevent thousands of abortions.
WASHINGTON — The government rejected over-the-counter sales of morning-after birth control yesterday, citing concern about young teenagers' use of the pills. But regulators left open the possibility they will reconsider.
Such a step, which presumably
The FDA had told Barr about the teen concern in February, and the company proposed allowing nonprescription sales for everyone 16 and older but requiring a prescription for anyone younger.
would require drugstores to check customers' ages, has never been tried. The FDA said the company didn't provide many details, making it impossible to decide if such a program would be legal and doable.
In a letter to Barr Laboratories late Thursday, the FDA said there wasn't any evidence that teens younger than 16 could safely use the pills without a doctor's guidance.
But yesterday, FDA officials left open the door for Barr to try again, telling the company what information they would need to reconsider: either data showing young teens could use the pills safely without a prescription or details on how to make the mixed-marketing approach work.

cognitive itch," or just another case of song-stuck in the-head
Ruth Ann Atchley, assistant professor of cognitive neuroscience, pointed to the superior temporal lobe, which is the area that helps to detect complex musical sounds such as harmony, melody and rythm yesterday in Fraser Hall. Atchley said that in her reading and research she had found that most of the time a song got stuck in your head because of the music and not the individual who was listening to it. "The last song to get stuck in my head is that song that they play at all the basketball games and everyone yells 'hey,'" Professor Atchley said. The song Atchley was referring to was actually called Rock and Roll Part 2 by Gary Glitter.
in her office, Aitchie grabbed a plastic brain model from a book-shelf and pointed at different areas of the brain.

When you listen to music, areas such as the frontal lobes, prefrontal cortex, parietal lobes and temporal lobes function to receive it, she said.
"These structures would be very active," Atchley said. "The areas would all light up.
Then, what you hear is processed by an area of the brain called the rostromedial prefrontal cortex. The long-worded area is located just above and behind the eyes.
The primary function of this section of the brain is communication, processing and what's called working memory, an important factor in the "cognitive itch." Atchlev said.
"It's sort of keeping stuff on line while we're using it," Aatchley said. "Like when you're trying to remember a phone number and you keep repeating it."
In a way, when a particular song gets stuck in your head, it's running a neurological track around the prefrontal cortex, Aitchley said.
"To every day, Turn, Turn,
Turn, There is a season, turn,
turn, turn."
-The Byrds
The processing track also houses episodic memory, which is everyday events that happen to all of us. People with damage to this area behave in interesting ways. Atchley said.
For example, if a person had damage to that part of their brain and a glass of water was placed in front of them, he would feel as though they had to drink it, even if he wasn't thirsty. And if you poured more water in after he finished, he would drink it again.
"Then you ask them 'why are you doing that, are you thirsty?' and they would say 'No, but I can't help myself. I wish it stop pouring it." Aitchley said.
As far as music getting stuck in your head goes, this is the closest phenomenon to explain it, Atchley said. The prefrontal cortex houses elements of self-control as well.
This explains where the song gets stuck but not why it gets stuck.
Aitchley said when we hear something, it gets processed by the prefrontal cortex. And in another part of the brain, all the songs we've heard are stored in a warehouse called the auditory cortex. When what hear is being
processed, it sometimes triggers a song from the auditory cortex, which then "joins" the memory in the rostromedial prefrontal cortex on the track.

Debra Hedden, associate professor of music education and music therapy, has been teaching music to students for more than 20 years. Hedden said a song could get stuck in your head because it often reminded a person of something that was pleasing or displeasing to them. "The last song that got stuck in my head was Somewhere over the rainbow. It's a pretty appropriate song for Kansas," Hedden said.
She said often times the lyrics of a song are the biggest factor in instances of trapped tunes.
"It also has to do with preference," Hedden said. "Either a song that you really like or really don't like can get lodged in there."
ditty, it has a higher probability of getting wedged,Hedden said.
Hedden used the Bobby McFerrin opus Don't Worry, Be Happy as an example of lyrics that people either love or hate.
"The lyrics were irritating to me," Hedden said. "And a song like that gets stuck in your head because of it."
The combination of the repetition of the song's musical mantra and the story-style simplicity caused the song to get to her, she said.
The song was one that had many of the qualities that would cause a "cognitive itch."
Songs with lyrics are the most frequent'y stuck, according to Kellaris' survey, with 74 percent of the people surveyed saying that's what made their brains the itchiest.
Another typical type of song that itches the cortex is one that has nonsense syllables that are fun to sing along with, such as Hey, Jude by The Beatles, Hedden said.
The last song Hedden had stuck in her head, walking through the hallways of Murphy Hall was a street chant, My Landlord, which had its roots in African-American culture.
Songs that are the most likely to get trapped in your head are extremely simple and repetitive with catchy rhythmic tunes, that progress in a predictable fashion, like It's a Small World After All.
"Help! I need somebody,
Help! Not just anybody, Help!
You know I need someone,
Heeelp!"
-The Beatles
"When you list to someone singing something, you automatically get it stuck in your head." Angela Rodriguez Bogota, Colombia, senior
There are several qualities that make a certain song the kind of song that will cause one of these cognitive itches, said Debra Hedden, associate professor of music education and theory.
If a song has similar lines and the melody alters itself in slight, but predictable ways like the Disney

"I get really frustrated at myself, but it's an ongoing cycle," Loffredo said. "I have to tell myself to shut up."
Her last song was a Hilary Duff tune that she still doesn't know the words to, but surely knows the melody. Beth Jones had the same problem as Loffredo. The Lenexa senior said she would always get Ace of Base's masterpiece *The Sign* stuck in her head and would walk
Though there has been plenty of research about the brain and the phenomenon of trapped tunes, there is no scientific cure.
Whatever the cause may be — radio overplay, catchy melodies or sheer annoyance — Jon Arkin, Reedsburg, Wisc., sophomore, said he had a way to get rid of it.
Many students at the University have their own methods for extracting melodies that infect their brains.
The last song he had stuck in his head was I Swear by All 4 One. The song got trapped because it annoyed him but the chorus was just so catchy, he said.
around singing it.
"I just try to fall asleep as soon as possible," Arkin said.
Angela Loffredo, Des Moines, Iowa, junior, often finds herself simply replacing a stuck song with something else.
"Then someone says 'stop,' Jones said. "And you say 'in the name of love.' And then you h a v e another song stuck."
"I'm Blue, da ba dee

transference while in the Kansas Union. Rodriguez said she would see someone singing a song, and then someone who was standing by that person would start singing the same song later.
When she can't avoid the game of musical tag, she whistles to shake songs out that get lodged in her brain.
Delia Kimbrel, Wichita sophmore, said the last song she caught herself walking around singing was 1 *Hate Everything About You* by Three Days Grace.
After about a minute of singing the song on Wescoe Beach, she said she didn't even worry about it. It was OK because she liked the song.
"I just try to deal with it," Kimbrel said. "Eventually, it 'v' will go away."
For many people, though, it doesn't. It's a continuous cycle that we may have to deal with for a long time.
Songs like My Sharona by the Knacl, *Shout* by the Isley Brothers, Gone Till November by Wyclef Jean and Mr. Roboto by Styx will continue to get stranded in our brains, and we'll continue to look for ways to get them out.

TORNADO: Residents must protect themselves
Clinton Lake, one of Lawrences most distinctive geographical features, does not block tornadoes, said Josh Molgren, a KUH meteorologist. If anything, the lack of tornadoes has more to do with just random happenstance, said Matt Laubhan, the University of Kansas' weatherlab manager.
There are plenty of theories about why tornadoes are scarce in Lawrence, but there aren't any clear cut causes.
Laubhan said Kansas as a whole got many tornadoes, but spread across a large geographical area, the probability of several tornadoes in one area was relatively low.
But, "That's not to say there won't be a tornado this year or next year," Laubhan said. "This year in particular jet streams have not come close enough to bring enough variables for tornadoes."

"It's important to understand they practice, they drill and they go through lots of training for events like this," said Lisa Patterson, communications director for the city of Lawrence.
stay on alert.
the authority of law.
The main emergency response is the duty of Douglas County.
Paula Phillips, director of Douglas County Emergency Response,
said preparing for a tornado was no different than preparing for any other disaster.
She said last year's response was successful, but the city's emergency response still learned how to better deal with a disaster.
Because the last tornado before 2003 was in 1981, some confusion ensued when the storm touched down last year.
"It's a matter that technology has changed and agencies have changed and leadership has changed," Phillips said.
Improvements made as a result of the tornado included clarifying the roles and responsibilities of each group involved in emergency response. Emergency response organizes disaster response from divisions such as law enforcement and fire rescue.
As prepared as the city and county need to be, tenants and landlords must be vigilant about their responsibilities in the event of property damage.
Protecting against a tornado
Panta Rhei, Lawrence landlord, did not have any of his property damaged last year from the weather, but said tenants should get their own renter's insurance.
"A landlord has insurance on the property but it does not cover the student's possessions," Rhei said. "I don't think a lot of students know that."
Louise Kirkpatrick tenant/landlord counselor for Housing and Consumer Credit Counseling, 2518 Ridge Court, said some landlord's property insurance could cover a student's displacement.
If the dwelling is rendered uninhabitable, the tenant has five days to write the landlord to terminate the lease, but Kirkpatrick said those issues usually got worked out before it came to that.
"The first thing is there needs to be some kind of work-together mentality." Kirkpatrick said. "These people might not have anything. You need to get them some shelter."
Kennedy said shelter and meals were provided by the Red Cross last year, which was helpful while she got the pieces of her townhouse picked up.
Looking back on the whole situation a year later, she said she might respond differently. As far as getting renter's insurance, she said she would consider it for next year when she moves. Otherwise, she thought she might act differently if a tornado comes near this year.
year.
"It will make me think twice about not going to a shelter," Kennedy said. "I thought it wasn't coming near us."

Local orchard owners ready for start of Farmers' Market
Customers vendors loyal to small, personal environment
By Matt Rodriguez
mdrroguez@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Wildhorse Orchard is a small orchard located just 22 miles north of Lawrence on K-16 highway. It has a handful of part-time employees. And Perry Walters, a retired dentist, and his wife, Laurie, a retired pharmacist, look after the whole operation.
They have always had about 35 fruit trees in their back yard. In 1981, they planted their first commercial tree, but they didn't get into the orchard business for the money.
"We started off as a farm market and pick-your-own farm," Walters said.
Twenty-three years later, The Wildhorse Orchard, named after the creek that flows through their land, has about 100 trees and provides about 260,000 apples to local communities.
A fraction of those apples will make it to this summer's Lawrence Farmers' Market, which starts tomorrow.
And even though the Walterses will not be selling their apples until July, when they're ripe, there will be plenty of farmers and vendors selling everything from tamales to tulips, in what Walters called a "unique environment."
The Walterses have been selling at the Farmers' Market since 1986. They wake up every Saturday about 4:45 a.m. and load their apples into their van.
They sell everything from

peaches to apple butter to apple cider, as well as the 16 different types of apples they offer — both sweet and sour.
"Not a lot of people know my name," Laurie said. "They know me as the 'apple lady.'"
Her customers have even approached her at her daughter's piano concerts, asking what her real name is just so they can stop calling her the apple lady.
The Farmers' Market has an environment not seen at a supermarket, said one customer who had been going there for almost 20 years.
Carey Maynard-Moody, Lawrence resident, hates the impersonal experience the supermarkets offer — so far removed from real food and real people, so she goes to the Farmers' Market.
"I've been waiting a year for my rubarb pie," she said
Maynard-Moody looks forward to seeing the vendors each year. The continuity is what makes it special to her.
"I love seeing people I recognize and people who recognize me," she said.
Maynard-Moody sees more and more people attending each year and said it's become "crowded in the best sense of the word."
The market has grown from what it was 25 years ago, said Barbara Clark, chairwoman for the

'Kansan' predicts Big 12 football
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
While the Big 12 Conference has typically been strong top to bottom, the drop off of Colorado and Nebraska has hurt the strength of the Big 12 North. Four teams have a chance to win the North, while the South is as strong as ever. Kansan staff writer Kevin Flaherty offers his predictions.
1) Oklahoma
The Sooners are loaded with talent including one of the best offensive and defensive lines in the nation.
Quarterback Jason White won the Heisman Trophy last season and Mark Clayton is the Big 12's best receiver. Lance Mitchell, linebacker, and Antonio Perkins. cornerback, will help to boost a defensive unit that lost All-Americans Teddy Lehman, Derrick Strait and Tommie Harris. The one weakness of last season's team was its inability to run the ball, but Oklahoma signed the top running back in the
nation, Adrian Peterson, to st right in and play. He and jur ior college recruits Rem Ayodele, defensive tackle, and Chijoke Onyenegecha, cornerback, are both immediate impact players, so they should help to bolster a team that should compete for a national title again.
2) Texas
Jason White
Texas once again will have one of the stronger teams in the nation, but can they win the important games to take a step toward the national championship?
Vince Young is
Vince Young one of the rising young talents in the conference, and his development as a passer will be the key for this team to make a play at the Big 12 title. The running game will be fine, with Cedrick Benson running behind a typically huge Texas line. The receiving corps
must replace last season's three starters, including first-round draft pick Roy Williams. The defense, led by Rodrigue Wright and Derrick Johnson, has great athleticism and playmaking ability.
In what should be a down year for the Big 12 North,
Kansas s State still returns the
31 Kansas State
most talent. Despite losing quarterback Ell Roberson and most of the cogs from last season's defense, this should be a strong team. Dylan Meier and Alan Webb will fight it out for the starting quarterback job. Darren Sproles is the best running back
in the Big 12 and should be primed for a big season. The receivers will be improved as the young players develop. The offensive line will miss starters Nick Leckey and Ryan Lilja, while Marvin Simmons will try to boost a linebacking group without Josh Buhl and Bryan Hickman, who graduated. Even with the losses, this is still the most talented team in the North.
4) Oklahoma State
4) Oklahoma State
This is a team that will slip under some people's radars this season, but they shouldn't. Vernand Morency, running back, is a sleeper pick for Big 12 player of the year. The offensive and defensive lines will be strong, and the Cowboys' defense should improve as the young defensive tackles get used to Big 12 play. Josh Fields, quarterback, may be headed to play baseball, but this team has several quarterbacks to replace
him, most notably Donovan Woods and hotshot freshman Bobby Reid. Both are mobile quarterbacks who can throw. The receivers shouldn't miss a beat from last season and D'Juan Woods has All-Big 12 potential. This team could be scary.
5) Texas A&M
The Aggies struggled in their first year under coach Dennis Franchione, but there is too much talent for them to stay down. Three consecutive top-15 recruiting classes are starting to
Darren Sprole
pay off with talent such as quarterback Reggie McNeal, running back Courtney Lewis, linebacker Justin Warren and defensive tackle Johnny Jolly. Look for A&M to be much improved on both sides of the ball and possibly take a run at Oklahoma State's position.
6) Nebraska
Who knows how this passing game will turn out? Joe Dailey looked like a star and then like a dud in spring practice. His consistency is key, but the Cornhuskers did discover some receiving talent in the spring. The running back position is loaded, with Cory Ross, David Horne and Tierre Green. Dailey should be well protected by a line featuring Richie Incognito at center. The defense returns lots of talent, especially in the secondary where both Fabian Washington, cornerback, and Josh Bullocks, safety, could make a play for All-Big 12 honors. Barrett Ruud is one of the most underrated linebackers in the Big 12.
7) Missou Much the off son has focus
on Missouri and its chance to win the Big 12 North. While any one of four teams could win this season,

Kansas tries to stop slump against strong Texas team

It's not a good time for the Jayhawk baseball team to face the country's No. 2 team. Heading into their series with the Texas Longhorns, the Jayhawks have lost 11 of their last 12 conference games.
Kansas is coming off a heartbreaking 11-8 loss to SMS on Tuesday night. The team's bullpen gave up seven runs in the top of the ninth, surrendering the loss. The Jayhawk pitching staff has struggled, allowing 122 runs in the team's last 12 conference contests.
Coach Ritch Price and pitching coach Steve Abney have made changes in the team's rotation, hoping to remedy the staff's recent woes. Senior Ryan Knippschild, who usually starts the first game of a conference series, will pitch on Sunday. Junior Ken Livesey has been added to the rotation and will pitch tonight. He is 1-2 on the season with a 6.75 ERA. He has started two games this season.

Tyler Hall is taking all the right steps to make his PGA dream a reality.
The senior golfer has finished an oustanding career with the Jayhawks and is turning his sights toward becoming a part of the PGA Tour.
"With everything going well, I'd like to head home to New Jersey for at least a good part of the summer," said Hall, a Wayne, N.J., native. "I'm going to try and play in as many tournaments as I can get into and build my resume."

Hall said that after the summer, he was thinking about moving to Scottsdale, Ariz. — a popular location among young golfers looking to succeed at the professional level.
To say that Hall has been effective for Kansas golf since his redshirt season in 1999 would be an understatement. Hall competed in 34 tournaments during his Kansas career. He also recorded 10 top-10 finishes for the Jayhawks, including four top-10 finishes this spring.

League decides to pull Spider-Man ads off field
MLB
NEW YORK - Spider-Man ads on bases didn't fly with baseball fans.
A day after announcing a novel promotion to put advertisements on bases next month, Major League Baseball reversed course Thursday and eliminated that part of its marketing deal for Spider-Man 2.
"It isn't worth, frankly, having a debate about," commissioner Bud Selig said in Oakland before the Yankees-Athletics game.
"I'm a traditionalist," he said. "The problem in sports marketing, particularly in baseball, is you're always walking a very sensitive line. Nobody loves tradition and history as much as I do."
After Selig and others heard the back lash, Spider-Man got picked off base.
"The bases were an extremely small part of this program," said Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer. "How ever, we understand that a segment of our fans was uncomfortable with this particular component and we do not want to detract from the fan's experience in any way."
Under the original plan, red-and yellow ads were to appear on bases
but not home plate—during games from June 11-13. The plan began to crumble Wednesday night when the New York Yankees said they would only allow the ads on bases during batting practice—and only for one game that weekend.

Kansas City's Shields mixes with kids at Boys Town event
BOYS TOWN, Neb. — All-Pro football player Will Shields of the Kansas City Chiefs appeared touched by one of the questions asked him during his visit to the famed Girls and Boys Town.
Shields told the students that he went through many of the same trials and tribulations they have when he was growing up. He said he wants to give back to society by helping troubled youth, which fits the description of most of Boys Town's 800 residents.
Shields, the guest speaker at Boys Town's annual booster banquet, has earned national acclaim for his good works, particularly for his Will To Succeed Foundation that assists battered women and disadvantaged children in the Kansas City area.

Warner could find home with New York Giants
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.—The New York Giants are thinking about signing quarterback Kurt Warner if the two-time NFL MVP is released by the St. Louis Rams in a salary-cap move.
"We've been talking," Mark Bartelstein, Warner's agent, said in a telephone interview Thursday.
Bartelstein has spoken with six or seven teams about signing Warner since the Rams gave him permission to shop for a deal for the quarterback who led St. Louis to a Super Bowl championship in the 1999 season.
Warner's future in St. Louis became very uncertain this week when the Rams signed Marc Bulger to a four-year contract.
It's unlikely Warner will take a pay cut to stay with the Rams, and it's even more unlikely he will enjoy being Bulger's backup again.
Coming to the Giants, however, also would page questions.
New York seemingly wants to start Eli Manning, the top pick last month in the NFL draft. The Giants cut Kerry Collins last week, taking $8.95 million off the team's salary cap this season.

Agent: Danton was delusional, using painkillers, sleeping pills
ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Blues forward Mike Danton was delusional and using painkillers and sleeping pills in the hours before he allegedly tried to hire a hit man to kill an acquaintance, Danton's agent said.
Several reports, citing anonymous police sources, have identified agent David Frost as Danton's intended target
Frost reiterated in an interview with The Associated Press Thursday his belief that he was not the target.
Danton remains jailed in Clinton County, Ill., near St. Louis. A hearing on Friday will determine if he will be eligible for bail.
Danton pleaded not guilty to federal murder-for-hire charges Tuesday. His trial was scheduled for July 20. His alleged accomplice, 19-year-old Katie Wolfmeyer of suburban St. Louis, is free on $100,000 bond. Her trial was set for July 13.

today's birthday (may 7).
A bonus could lead you to think you're made of money. Keep yourself on a strict budget in case dearth follows plethora. Besides, if you save up enough, you can afford to take a vacation this winter. That would be romantic.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 7.
You have an effective manner when it comes to getting the message across. Don't be confrontational, though. There's too much money at stake. Show that you can be respectful. Somebody out there needs you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
You may have to do some juggling to get everything to fall into place. Don't feel guilty. Just keep practicing, and believe in your determination.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6.
They say not to go to bed angry, and that's good advice. Even if you're convinced that you're right, you need to think more about it. You also need to think objectively.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
Push yourself harder than you
ever have before. Will you succeed? Well, maybe not on the first try, but that's fine. Consider this one a trial run.
Leo(July 23-Aug. 22).Today is a9. Your social calendar is packed. You'll have to make a few calls to avoid hurting anybody's feelings. Tomorrow and the next day will be busy, too, but squeeze in as much fun as you can.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a7.
As the others fight it out, you're standing by, cheerful and helpful. Remind them to be practical and to keep the big picture in mind. If they forget what that is, come up with something fast — something reconciliatory.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
You're learning that you won't be able to have everything you want. The good news is that you can have some of it. You're a flexible person, so you can adapt. Simply redraw your pictures.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is an 8.
Riches are coming your way due to your quick thinking. Be careful, though. If you get too excited, you may spend it and have nothing left but memories. Memories are
nice, but they can't replace money in the bank.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 7.
A partner (possibly your mate or possibly a hired expert) can help you get the funding you need. Let people know what you're up to.
Somebody you weren't sure about is starting to become more assertive. This person might be helpful to you, but they must be carefully wooed. Be polite in your negotiations. A rude word could get you cut off.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is an 8.
Just when you think you're done,
another assignment comes in.
You might as well adapt, because
it'll be this way for a while. Set up
your system to handle more,
faster.
TODAY'S PUZZLE
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 7.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
You're in an enviable position,
You're clear of the controversy,
yet your opinions can be heard.
Don't offer those opinions unless
you're asked, however. They'll
carry more weight that way.

FOOTBALL: Big 12 predictions
CONTINUED FROM 1B
Missouri will not because of an increased schedule strength. The team must play at Texas and Nebraska, while Oklahoma State, Kansas State and Kansas travel to Columbia, Mo.
This team could be much improved and still finish 4-4 in the Big 12. Brad Smith is one of the most exciting players in the conference, and he heads an offense packed with speed and talent.
talent. This may be the fastest team in the Big 12, and a team on the rise, but this isn't the year for it to take the North.
Another team on the rise that could suffer because of harsh scheduling. The Jayhawks must find a quarterback to make the offense run smoothly.
The rest of the offense is talented and deep, and this may be one of the better jayhawk offensive lines in the past five years.
8) Kansas
The defensive tackle position is a worry without depth, but the defensive ends, led by John McCoy, were a pleasant surprise in the spring.
Linebacker may be the best position on the team, and the defensive backs are worlds better than they were last season. This team could surprise if teams take it lightly.
9) Texas Tech
Texas Tech will be flinging the ball as usual this season, but who the quarterback will be remains to be seen.
to be seen.
The battle is between Robert Johnson, the top-ranked junior college quarterback in the nation, and Taurean Henderson, a versatile running back and a great receiver out of the backfield.
Tech will use him even more with the graduation of Wes Welker, Carlos Francis and Mickey Peters.
The defense will have holes yet again, but Adell Duckett is the Big 12's top returning pass rusher.
10) Colorado
Full of talent, something just isn't right in the water in Boulder, Colo. With the scandals and last season's poor play, it will be difficult to gain confidence in a conference this strong. Joel Klatt is a heady quarterback, while Brian Calhoun and Bobby Purify form an outstanding running back tandem.
Several playmakers graduated, including the two top receivers, Marwan Hage on the offensive line, Gabe Nyenhui, defensive end, Sean Tufs, linebacker, and Medford Moorer, safety. They will all be difficult to replace.
11) Iowa State
11 Iowa State shouldn't be nearly as bad as it was last season. For starters, the team signed five running backs to boost the run game, the best of which is Jason Scales. The quarterbacks should improve, and the team added Terrance Highsmith from a junior college. Highsmith is a versatile athlete who can play several positions.
The defensive line will be strong, but the defense behind it is shaky. Much of the receiving talent left after last season. Iowa State should improve, but not enough to move out of the North cellar.
Baylor is in the second season of rebuilding under coach Guy Morriss, and the team is much better than it was two seasons ago. Key recruit Dane King should instantly upgrade the quarterback position.
quarter in. The team needs a better player at pretty much every position, but it should get better with time. The speed of the Bears is improving, but it is not quite at Big 12 level yet
When Morriss gets this team more talent, both Texas Tech and Baylor will be exciting to watch as they throw the ball all over the field. Until then, this team is a bottom feeder.

The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — St. Louis manager Tony La Russa expected a high-scoring game where the bullpens would get stretched thin.
Instead, the Cardinals' relievers kept it under control.
Hector Luna's three-run homer capped a five-run first inning and the Cardinals got three scoreless innings from five relievers for a 7-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday.
the end. The Cardinals quickly ended Randy Wolf's 21-inning scoreless streak and improved to 9-3 on the road.
"It looked like it would be a 12 10 game," La Russa said. "Our bullpen had a great series. This is a tough park to pitch in. This is a tough lineup. You can only pat them so much. This is May and they're going to be out there until the end."
It's their best road start since they were 10-2 in 1946. They won the three-game series thanks to nine scoreless innings overall from the bullpen.
Jeff Suppan (3-3) pitched six shaky innings, allowing six hits and four runs. But the Cardinals
got a break in the first inning on an error and another misplayed ball which helped score four unearned runs.

Jason Isringhausen got four outs for his fourth save. He came in the eighth with runners on first and second and two out, and got pinch-hitter Jason Michaels to strike out looking.
Michael's was furious over the call and was quickly tossed by plate umpire Dana DeMuth, who
"I was arguing more about Michaels' call, to be honest," said Bowa, tossed for the 18th time as Phillies manager.

Edgar Renteria followed with bloop single to right to make it 2-0 and, after the second out,
Luna hit the three-run shot to left.
It was Luna's third hit in 12 atbats this year — but second homer. Luna, a Rule 5 draft pick from Cleveland in December, hit only two home runs in 462 atbats last year for Double-A Akron.
Wolf (2-2) gave up eight hits and six runs — two earned — in 6 2-3 innings. The Phillies (12-14), preseason favorites to win the NL East, haven't been at .500 since they were 1-1.
SLUMP: Hot hitting must for Baty.
CONTINUED FROM 1B
1. 81 ERA. Howell is projected to be drafted in the first three rounds of this year's draft.
For the Jayhawks to be successful against the Longhorns' pitching, senior infielder Ryan Baty must continue his hot hitting. Baty is currently on an 11-game hitting streak and is 7 for 13 in the team's last three games.
If the team is going to qualify for the conference tournament, the Jayhawks need to win at least one game in the series. Kansas is currently one game behind ninth place Kansas State.
The Longhorns only weak spot could be their questionable offense. For the season they are batting .284, which puts them in seventh place in the conference. They are led offensively by junior infielder Curtis Thigpen, who is hitting .353 with four home runs.

Tonight's game begins at 6:30

Baseball Notes:
Edited by Danielle Hillix
Junior infielder Travis Metcalf needs just one more home run to break the Kansas record for home runs in a season. Metcalf has 17 home runs and is tied for the record.
As a team, the Jayhawks are one home run away from tying the school's season record for home runs with 63.

all-absorbing sport, and he probably wants to make a career of it after he gets done with school."
Hall is majoring in business administration. His coaches and parents agree that with hard work, the sky is the limit.
On the KU Athletics Web site, Hall lists his parents as the most influential people in his life.
"We're excited for him to graduate and move on to the next step in his future," Kathleen Hall, Tyler's mother, said. "He's surrounded by such great people, and they've been so supportive. He's very determined, and a very hard worker. We really anticipate him doing very well."
Paul Lepine Klinik
Hall did not pick up the game of golf until he was a sophomore in high school. He was a baseball pitcher, but Hall would caddie for his father. He ended up being a natural golfer with a love for the game.
Hall has helped Kansas to a No.24 national ranking this spring. Under Hall's leadership, the Jayhawks have four top-two finishes this spring, including a pair of victories in Texas and California.

Center to charge for summer usage
By Anna Clovis aclovis@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A fee for summer use at the Student Recreation Fitness Center has gained favor at the University of Kansas.
Outgoing Student Body President Andy Knopp was initially against the fee but said at the final Student Senate meeting he thought the plan was fair because all students were being charged instead of just those who were enrolled for the summer semester.
favor at the University of Kansas Students will be charged $31 for the summer usage fee beginning on the first day of summer class, June 8. Before the new center was built, students were not charged to use Robinson Center during the summer semester.
At the center, student employees said they have heard a lot of comments about the fee, good and bad.

center fee.
What: $31 if you aren't enrolled for summer classes or enrolled for the first time in Fall 2003. Students who are enrolled for summer classes will pay the fee in their summer campus fees. Those students who enrolled for the first time before Fall 2003 can use a former student status semester to cover the cost. These were semesters students paid for the center before it was built.
When: Students who are enrolled for Spring 2004 can use the center until June 7. From June 8 to Aug.18, the center can only be used by those who pay or use a former student status semester. Students enrolled for Fall 2005 can begin using the center on Aug.19, the first day of class.

Senator will end 20-year-run as influential state politician
TOPEKA — Senate President Dave Kerr announced Saturday that he will not seek re-election this year.
The Hutchinson Republican's decision will end a 20-year legislative career that included four years as the Senate's top leader, five as the chairman of its Ways and Means Committee and an unsuccessful run for governor in 2002.
Kerr,59, made his announcement while presiding over the Senate's final session.
He said he had decided not to run for governor again, then began to think about his future in the Senate.
"It was kind of a progressive process," Kerr said. "I began thinking about how to spend the years ahead. If I hurry, I can squeeze in another career, yet."
Kerr thanked his colleagues, legislative staff and his family.
"My family has always been as supportive as it could be," Kerr said.
He added: "If I were granted one wish for the Senate, it would be that you'll treat each other with even greater civility and respect."
Kerr joined Republican Sens. Bill Bunten, 'Topeka; Ed Pugh, Wamego, and Robert Tyson, Parker, in not seeking reelection.
election.
Senate Majority Leader Lana Oleen (R-Manhattan) said she and Kerr were "a couple of bulls" who shared similar birthdays, a strong will and a good working relationship.
"We were able to find common threads more often than not," Oleen said. "Our styles are different. Because of that, we were both approachable. Between us, we could share that access."
In reflecting on his career, Kerr cited economic initiatives approved in his first session and in the 2004 session as among his proudest accomplishments.

Dismissal of teacher elicits concern of national group
GREAT BEND — A national group for college newspaper advisers has taken issue with Barton County Community College's decision not to renew a journalism teacher's contract.
Jennifer Schartz's employment at the college ended after trustees did not renew her contract at their April 20 meeting.
Schartz was an adviser at the college newspaper and has taught at the school for three years.
She and her students said they think
trustees were upset about articles in the college newspaper, including stories about an internal investigation into academic misconduct involving coaches and athletes and a letter-to-the-editor from a former basketball player who criticized his coach.
In a letter to Barton County Community College President Velden Law on Friday, College Media Advisers Inc. threatened to censure the school.
The group asked school officials either to explain why Schartz's contract was not renewed or to reverse the decision.
College Media Advisers, said the group's six-member board could vote on whether to censure the college June 26-27.

Relay raises cash, helps fight cancer
By Steve Vockrodt
svorkrodt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Unseasonable heat Friday afternoon and the prospect of staying up until dawn the next morning was hardly enough to keep nearly 700 people from participating in the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life.
Relay For Life
Dozens of tents lined Campanile hill, and scores of KU students and faculty joined several cancer survivors to help fight cancer. The event raised more than $57,000 for cancer research.
$37 million for cancer.
"Out there, across the country, one of every three people will be affected by cancer," said U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan). "We have to do something to fight this dreaded disease."
diedreas biosciences Relay For Life started at 6 p.m. Friday with opening announcements from Moore and Sandra Quackenbush, KU associate professor of molecular biosciences and cancer researcher.
"This is probably one of the most exciting events of my life every year." Quackenbush said.
The relay started with a lap where every participant followed several dozen cancer survivors.
One of those survivors was Bob Karmelowicz, a defensive line coach for the Kansas City Chiefs. Doctors diagnosed a rare tumor in his nasal passages four years ago. He fought it with radiation and chemotherapy. When it came back two years ago, he fought it off again. He said it was inspiring to see so many younger people involved with the fight against cancer.
"I'm very happy that people in their 20s know it isn't something that you retire and get," Karmelowicz said.
ice said.
His wife, Olga, also endured a bout with cancer. Doctors diagnosed breast cancer seven years ago and she also defeated the disease. Her toughest battle since then was her emotions at the relay.
"It's been seven years since my cancer, but as I was walking around, I was fighting back
tears." Olga said.
Both Olga and Bob said the key in their survival against cancer was taking a proactive approach.
"You have no option, you have to fight it," Bob said. "It's an absolute must that you become a proactive patient."
He researched experimental drugs and therapies, and he believed they played a role in beating his cancer.
The couple found strength in their friends' fight with the disease.
Bob's colleague with the Chiefs, Peter Giunta and his wife, Cindy, also overcame the disease.
Cindy currently is cancer-free but said there was a chance it could come back, which was a difficult reality to live with, she said.
"It's hard because I have a 6-year-old." Cindy said. "You just have to put it in the back of your head."
One of Cindy's children, Christina, is a KU student. The Overland Park junior said it was difficult to see her mother when she was sick with cancer.
Now both families are cancer free and are fortunate to be attending events like the Relay For Life.
"You're used to your mom taking care of you," Christina said, and then you're taking care of your mom."
Cancer was a reality in the other participants' lives as well. Moore asked the crowd to raise their hands if they had been affected by cancer, and nearly everyone indicated that they had.
The relay itself lasted until 6 a.m. Saturday. The rules stated that someone from each team had to be on the track at all times.
on the track at all times. The event was punctuated by several other activities, such as a whipped-cream-pie-eating contest and a field goal kicking contest hosted by Mark Mangino, Kansas football coach.
The event is one of many nationwide relays that are the American Cancer Society's main fundraising events.

tics to her Roman Literature and Civilization class.
Realizing that simple drawings and diagrams probably wouldn't do the trick, she took her class to the Fraser Hall lawn. Designating students as different types of soldiers, the class was taught to march and fight as a Roman legion would.
The message stuck and the students were left with a better comprehension of the subject. The weather wasn't even that nice.
While Welch no longer teaches the subject, she still acknowledges the importance of taking a class outside. She still takes her Latin classes outside on occasion.
"Learning happens everywhere." Welch said.
And indeed it should.
As the spring weather starts to kick in, students often find schoolwork difficult to focus on. Attendance begins to dwindle and the students who do attend class regularly look longingly out the windows, concentrating less on the principles of Western Civilization and more on what to do when class ends.
How then, does the average teacher keep the attention of the class?
It sounds easy,but possibly the best solution would be to take the students outside on nice days.
The most common argument against going outside is that teachers say it is difficult for students to concentrate. This side of the debate has one flaw. Students want to go outside.
If, say their English teacher allows them to carry on discussion outside, the talk will be liveier than ever. The students will behave because they want have class outside again.
Allowing discussions to take place in the balmy weather will improve attendance and keep student morale high. This late in the school year, motivation is key.
The University of Kansas is renowned for many academic accomplishments, but perhaps the biggest source of pride is its beautiful campus.
Get your classes outside and enjoy the vibrant greens and luscious blooms while the weather is nice.

Middle-income families bear burden
Campuses are getting richer. Slowly, but surely.
From the University of Michigan to Harvard, The New York Times reported, there has been an increase in enrollment of upper-income families and a decrease in attendance from middle-income families. Middle-income families were defined as those whose income is at or below the national median income, $53,000.
The University of Kansas has seen a slight version of this trend.
COMMENTARY
The Office of Institutional Research and Planning reported in the fall of 2000, 30 percent of the families of incoming freshman made less than $50,000. The percentage of students from these middle-income families dropped to 27 percent in 2001 and 2002, then increased slightly to 28 percent in 2003.
And in-terms of upper-income families, the University doesn't buck any trends. In 2000, families making more than $100,000 made up 24 percent of the student population. In 2001, it rose to

27. 6 percent and in 2002 it rose to 29.7 percent. In the fall of 2003 it fell slightly to 28.5 percent, but that is still significantly higher than the fall of 2000.
Though this does not seem to be a major problem, it could be the calm before the storm.
"Part of the problem is that the state support cannot keep up with the rising tuition and students in-turn foot the bill," Marlesa Roney, vice provost of student success said. "Many families see the cost of college and self-select themselves out before they even get started."
Another factor is federal aid said Roney, who is a first generation college graduate.
One way to combat this problem is to re-evaluate the Pell Grant and make more money available to the middle-income students, Roney said.
Income students, Holiday According to The New York Times article, April 12, entitled "As Wealthy Fill Top Colleges, New Efforts to Level the Field," many universities are making efforts to confront the issue. The University of Maryland will not ask students to take out loans if they are from families that make less than $21,000 a year. Harvard, the University of North Carolina and the University of Virginia will have similar programs. The scholarships will cover the entire cost of tuition.
Stanford and Yale are working to revamp their early-admissions programs to allow for more low-income students' acceptance, the article said.
Each of these ideas is noble and deserve credit, but they do not solve the problem. The new programs are a good start. But, the statistics show a decrease in students from middle-income families, not a decrease in low-income families. Low-income families already have a good chance at receiving federal aid and scholarships, so designing programs that will only affect lower-income students will not alleviate the burden for middle-income families.
Families who make just over the cutoff income are continually forgotten.
This trend is beginning to take hold, and will be a detriment to higher education. Administrators, government officials and students themselves should consider options to help the ones in the middle.

headlights go hand in hand. If you need to use your car's windshield wipers, then you might as well have your car's headlights turned on. Just the sight of headlights shining in front of me and behind me gives me an automatic sense of safety while driving down the Georgia roads.
I cannot say the same for Kansas. In
With some of these states doubling up on the two laws, a total of 33 states force their drivers to use their cars' headlights during inclement weather, leaving 17 states that have chosen to permit their drivers to drive more dangerously during this weather.
Kansas' defense, Melissa Savage, a National Conference of State Legislatures policy analyst, said only 14 states had issued a law that made driving without the proper use of a car's headlights in accordance with the necessary use of windshield wipers illegal and only 19 states had issued the same law as Georgia.
Kansas, unfortunately, places its name with those 17 states.
The last thing a Lawrence driver needs is to worry about rear-ending a car that is nearly invisible without its red taillights shining through the gray sky. I think it is ridiculous that the state of Kansas would not force a driver to use his or her car's headlights when the rain or snow forces the use of windshield wipers.
I want to feel the same amount of comfort as I do in Georgia when I'm driving on the roads in Kansas during a rainstorm. I would rather spend my time focusing on what's in front of me on the road rather than looking through the waterfall down my back window trying to depict whether that dark silhouette in the next lane is a moving vehicle or just another dark cloud.
With cars overpopulating the streets,
Lawrence drivers suffer day-in and day-
out with constant stop-and-go driving.

Panel discussed deadly conflict continuing in Iraq
By Ron Knox and Patrick Cady editor@kansan.com Kansan staff writers
JOHN KLEINBERG
The ongoing conflict in Iraq will have more deadly months like April before U.S. troops withdraw from the area, said State Department Iraq coordinator Robert Silverman.
The combination of factors that lead to heightened violence last month, including Shiite takeovers in southern areas and uprisings in Fallujah and other northern cities could repeat themselves, leading to high military and Iraqi death counts, Silverman said.
"I think we all know that Iraq has not been an easy experience." he said.
David Schauner, moderator and Lawrence city commissioner; Dick Kurtenbach, executive director of the Western Missouri-Kansas chapter of the ACLU; Kris Kobach, law professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law and Rick Levy, law professor at the University of Kansas School of Law participated in a roundtable discussion titled,"Security, Liberty and the Patriot Act in the Post-War Era."The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics and the University of Kansas Department of Political Science sponsored the two-day conference," One Year After Victory" in Iraq: International and Domestic Perspectives," from 1 to 5:30 p.m.
According to Defense Department reports, 137 U.S. soldiers died in Iraq in April, the majority from hostile attacks from gunfire and missiles.
Those deaths drew from a military force that is, at its current size, unsustainable, said Col. John Cary, professor at Command and General Staff College, a military training center.
Both speakers were part of a panel Friday during the "One Year After 'Victory' in Iraq," a two-day conference at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics addressing the progress in Iraq since President Bush declared major military combat over on May 1, 2003.
The war in Iraq, and America's foreign policy in general.
changed drastically since Bush took office in 2001, said James Lindsay, vice president of the Council of Foreign Relations, who spoke before the discussions.
"It has been a revolution in American foreign policy," Lindsay said.
He said Bush and his administration's policy relied more on the will to apply power rather than whether America's power was right or wrong.
was right of wrong Participants in the second day of the conference focused on the domestics implications of the war on Iraq.
James Pfiffner, a professor of public policy at George Mason University and presidential scholar, gave a keynote speech on Bush and the decisions leading up to the war.
Two roundtable discussions followed his speech. The first debated the role of the war in the 2004 presidential race. The second took a hard look at the USA PATRIOT Act.
During this panel, which included staunch supporters and opponents of the bill, the audience took an active questioning role.
After one pointed question on the subpoena powers of the bill, Kris Kobach, a professor of law at University of Missouri-Kansas City, congressional candidate and supporter of the act, stated that mistrust of the government was essential for democracy.

Rene Ward, Overland Park
freshman, said she enjoyed the active aspect of the event.
"It was well orchestrated and good to see the different panelists and their different points
of view," Ward said.
Following the conference, the panelists and the organizers thought it was a success and a tribute to the mission of the
institute.
"We're fulfilling the promise of what this place could be," said Jonathan Earle, an associate director of academic programming and assistant professor of history who helped to organize the event.
Explosion kills Chechen president
— Edited by Ashley Arnold
The Associated Press
GROZNY, Russia — A bomb ripped through a stadium in the Chechen capital during a Victory Day ceremony yesterday, killing provincial president Akhmad Kadyrov, the Kremlin's point man for efforts to control separatist violence in the war-wracked region.
No group claimed responsibility for the explosion, which killed as many as 24 people, but suspicion inevitably fell on separatist rebels, who have made Kadyrov a top target and tried to assassinate him several times.
Police and soldiers launched an extensive search after the blast
and detained at least five people news reports said.
news reports said.
The attack harshly underlined the difficulties Russia faces in restoring order in the southern region despite a massive troop presence. It was expected to set off a new round of killing between Kadyrov's camp and his enemies.
The stadium's VIP section collapsed into a jagged hole in the explosion, sending up a plume of brown smoke. Panicked people, including many elderly dressed in their Sunday best, clambered over the bleachers as gunshots split the air amid the chaos.
Footage on Russia's NTV television showed men in uniform
dragging away the body of a man resembling Kadyrov and covered in blood.
in blood. The explosive was believed to be a land mine, said Sergei Kozhemyaka, a spokesman for the southern Russian branch of the Emergency Situations Ministry. NTV television quoted an investigator as saying the bomb was made from a 152 mm artillery shell and detonated with a wire or timer.
The bomb was planted under the concrete floor of the VIP podium where Kadyrov and other dignitaries were watching ceremonies marking the 59th anniversary of the defeat of the Nazis in World War II.
A second land mine was found nearby.
Investigators were trying to identify people who worked on the three-month renovation of the stadium, which was completed just recently, according to the ITAR-Tass news agency.
The Grozny emergency medical center said 24 people were killed and 46 others were wounded.
However, Russian President Vladimir Putin's representative in the southern Russian district, Vladimir Yakovlev, said six people died in the blast and 53 others were wounded, the Interfax news agency reported.
Trial date set for soldier in abuse case
The Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Stung by a worldwide outcry, the U.S. military announced yesterday the first court-martial in the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse allegations, ordering a reservist to face a public trial in Baghdad on May 19.
Spc. Jeremy C. Sivits of Hyndman, Pa., a member of the 372nd Military Police Company, will face a military court less than a month after photos of prisoners being abused and humiliated were first broadcast April 28.
Both the speed of the trial's scheduling and the venue in the Iraqi capital underscore the military's realization that it must demonstrate resolve in prosecuting those responsible for a scandal that threatens to undermine the U.S. mission in Iraq and President Bush's re-election chances.
Brig. Gen, Mark Kimmitt, announcing the trial date, said the proceedings would be held in the Baghdad Convention Center, which houses the coalition press office, and be open to media coverage.
age:
Bush promised Saturday that "we will learn all the facts and determine the full extent of these abuses. Those involved will be identified. They will answer for their actions."
their actions.
Sivits is one of seven soldiers facing charges but appears to be a
lesser figure in the case. Some of the others will likely face a general court martial, which can give more severe punishments than the "special" court martial that will try Sivits. His trial could produce evidence for prosecuting others believed more culpable.
Sivits is believed to have taken some of the photos that triggered the scandal. His father, Daniel Sivits, said last month his son "was told to take a picture, and he did what he was told." He said his son trained as a mechanic but found himself performing military police work for which he was unqualified.
when he was saying it had no comment yesterday morning.
Solvits was charged with conspiracy to mistreat detainees, dereliction of duty for failing to protect prisoners and maltreatment of detainees. Seven officers have received career-ending reprimands.
If convicted, Sivits could face one year in prison, reduction in rank to private, forfeiture of two-thirds of his pay for a year, a fine or a bad conduct discharge. Penalties could include only one, all or any combination of those punishments.
Sivits will be able to choose between trial before a single military judge or a three-member panel of senior officers. He has the right to a civilian attorney and will have access to military counsel.
The Associated Press
The military policeman who blew the whistle on fellow soldiers who were photographed abusing Iraqi detainees has an independent streak and knew "right from wrong," say people who know him.
Spc. Joe Darby was commended in a military report for alerting superiors after discovering photographs of fellow 372nd Military Police Company personnel abusing prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison.
prison.
Darby, 24, who is still on duty overseas, "didn't worry about what people thought," said Robert Ewing. Darby's history teacher and football coach at North Star High in Jennings, Pa. "He wasn't one that went along with his peers."
Darby's tip led to an investigation of prisoner abuse that has outraged people around the world and changed the tenor of America's war effort in Iraq.
The military said yesterday that Spc. Jeremy C. Sivits, 24, of Hyndman, also from Pennsylvania, will be the first soldier to face a court martial in connection with the abuse. He faces trial May 19 in Baghdad.
Darby "didn't realize that he had done anything that was super special," said sister-in-law Maxine Carroll. "The way he looks at it, he was just doing his job."
was just doing. Carroll said the family is concerned some people will view Darby's decision to turn in fellow
soldiers as traitorous, rather than heroic, especially in Cresaptown, Md., where he lives and where the 372nd is based.
"It scares you a little," she said.
It scares you a lot. Friends and former neighbors in Pennsylvania said they are proud of Darby.
Darby.
“There is just so much violence in the world, and someone has to stop it,” said Gilbert Refiner, 50, who lived across the street from Darby when Darby was young. “Joe, he did his part.”
The family moved to Jenners, Pa., in the early 1990s, neighbors said, in southern Pennsylvania coal country just a few miles from the spot where an airliner hijacked by terrorists crashed on Sept. 11, 2001.
In Jenners, the Darbys probably had a tougher time in the blue-collar town than most. Darby's stepfather was disabled in a construction accident. His mother stayed home to care for his young brother, and money was tight.
Darby worked evenings after school. He attended North Star High in nearby Boswell, then left to study forestry at Somerset County Vocational and Technical High School.

Reffner described Darby as polite and respectful. He said the family had little money when he was growing up.
ARE YOU AN AMERICAN STUDENT PAYING NON-RESIDENT TUITION?
The Governor of Kansas is about to sign legislation to offer resident tuition worth more than $7,200 a year to certain undocumented aliens.
To offer this benefit to illegal aliens is discriminatory under federal law unless all enrolled U.S. citizens are offered resident tuition rates including all out-of-state American students.
Students who oppose illegal immigration and unfair discrimination against Americans can join a lawsuit being prepared to challenge this unlawful decision and protect your rights.
You can help. If you are a United States citizen who will enroll as a full-time non-resident student at any Kansas public university in 2004-2005, please leave a message at (877) 627-3247 or email kansastuition@yahoo.com to receive full information.

EVALUATIONS: Confidential responses displayed in graphs
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Aaron Brown, web applications developer, created the course evaluation Web site.
Once students fill out the survey, they can go back and change answers during a two-week period, he said.
After that, students will not be able to fill out evaluations. Faculty and staff will see the results during a four-week period and can use them for internal review. However, they are not allowed to change the results.
Students who view the results must be cautious about the statistics. Brown said.
"It's best for students to keep in
mind that statistics are bogus if only two people decide to respond," he said.
A bar graph displays all the answers to the 10 questions and how many students answered. Brown said.
On June 21, the results will be available to students who have an active KU Online ID. They can look at any professor or class and the results.
This way, the graph will not show an average answer, he said, but how many students rated each question. All responses are anonymous.

ABOVE: University bell tower filled with tradition
"People say it feels like Oxford when they hear it," said Elizabeth Berghout, assistant professor of music and dance and University carillonneur. "It helps add to the environment on campus." It's no piano
it is no place
The Campanile and carillon inside were built in 1950 and dedicated in 1951 as a World War II memorial. A carillon is an instrument of at least 23 bells arranged in chromatic sequence. The bells are tuned and arranged to sound in harmony when rung together. Each bell is connected to a keyboard that is played with the hands and feet.
The keys are wooden and look like broomsticks. They are played with the side of a closed fist instead of fingers. The heavier bells are played with the feet. Keys that are connected to heavier bells have greater tension and require more force to be played.
There are 53 bells in the 120-foot-tall Campanile. The biggest weighs seven tons, and the lightest weighs 10 pounds. All of the bells in the University Campanile create a musical instrument that weighs 32 tons. Berghout describes the instrument as a cross between a xylophone and a piano. As University carillonneur, Berghout is responsible for overseeing the carillon, holding public performances and teaching her eight carillon students. She is only the third carillonneur in the Campanile's history.
"It's an honor to be part of the tradition of playing a musical instrument that is for the KU family who fought and died in World War II," she said.
helped establish the University as what he calls one of the top carilion programs. There's a class for this?
The University is only one of six Big 12 Conference schools with a carillon on campus. Albert Gerken, professor emeritus of music and dance was carillon-neur for 40 years before Berghoult took over in 2000. The carillon was the reason he came to the University in 1963. He trained carillon students every year and
Ashley Peterson enrolled in Berghout's carillon class two years ago to receive credit toward her music degree. Carillon courses are offered through the fine arts school and range from 100-level to 700-level classes. The Smith Centersenior saw the classes in the timetable and wanted to find out more about them.
"For all I knew, it could have be a drum of some sort," she said.
a small part of some sort, she shes.
Some people don't believe her when she tells them she plays the bells in the Campanile, she said.
Berghout said most people think a machine hooked up to the bolls plays the music. The anonymity helps the students cope with practicing on an instrument heard across campus. Unlike other music students, when the carillon students make a mistake, everyone on campus can hear it.
"I take comfort in the fact that most people on campus don't know there's someone up there playing." Peterson said.
Gerken and Berghout said most of the students experienced some intimidation when they played for the first time, but soon began concentrating on the music.
In a practice room a few stairs below the carillon room, the students learn their music. When they feel they have reasonably mastered a piece, they begin practicing and performing on the formal carillon. But the carillon is still a learning instrument, and a few mistakes are inevitable.
Berghout said the initial fear was nothing compared to the satisfaction of sharing the music with the entire campus. Every Sunday at 5 p.m. and every Wednesday at 7 p.m., Berghout holds a carillon concert for the public. People come with their blankets to sit and listen to the bells. After the program, Berghout gives tours of the bell tower. A few people are too claustrophobic to make it up the stairs,
she said.
Superstitions and traditions
permission site to visit.
All of the students who play the carillon know about the superstition of bad luck striking those who walk through the Campanile before graduation. Kim Studill, an O'Fallon, Mo., junior, has played and makes sure to pay attention to which side she enters and walks out the same side.
Reeves and Peterson both have broken the taboo. Peterson said she never believed in the superstition and had walked through the Campanile hundreds of times. Reeves tried to go in and out the same side for the first year, but became tired of keeping track.
"I just got lazy." Reeves said. "We'll see what happens."
Despite breaking one tradition, the students help maintain another. The students play the alma mater twice each day. The Crimson and the Blue is Studstill's favorite song to play.
The carillon allows the students to play a diverse set of music. Reeves said she had heard the Yellow Submarine by The Beatles played on the campus carillon before. Gerken said music should be picked more carefully to honor the war heroes that the tower stood for.
When Gerken was carillonneur, he said he gave 45-minute recitals instead of 30-minute recitals. When he took people on tours, he taught them about the history of the Campanile. He explained to them that the Campanile was originally intended to be built as a tribute to straggles of the pioneers who settled the area before and after the Civil War. The project was held and later became a memorial for those killed in World War II. Playing the carillon was an emotional experience for him, he said.
"Although I didn't know any of those people personally, I realized what they did and what they gave their lives for," he said. "The carillon is not to be taken lightly or played frivolously."
Peterson applies the tribute to
University tradition
- Six Big 12 Conference schools including the University of Kansas have a carillon. University of Texas, Texas Tech University, Baylor University and Iowa State University have traditional carillons. Texas A&M University has a nontraditional carillon, which uses electro-mechanical mechanisms, an electrical keyboard and automatic controls.
Bells, similar to some of those in the carillon, were first made during the Bronze Age. In the 15th century, the Flemish discovered how to tune bells.
The world's greatest concentration of carillons is in Belgium, the Netherlands, northern France and northwest Germany.
Carillons are in every continent except Antarctica. Almost 200 exist in North America.

heroes of the past and present.
Some of Peterson's favorite pieces are tributes to those who died in Sept. 11 and in Afghanistan, such as *Elegy for the Fallen*.
Although the solemnity of the memorial stays in the students' minds, Peterson said it couldn't be the focus or their repertoire would be limited. Gerken disagreed and said the war heroes were the reason for the instrument. He said paying tribute was of central importance.
The mystery and awe of the instrument is of little importance to those who play it daily. They even get used to one of the best views of any office on campus. It is an instrument and a memorial.
"When you're playing, you're focus is on making the best music you can and what it symbolizes." Gerken said. "It's not like being in some sort of ivory tower."

Team finishes regular season 1-1 against Iowa State

Kansas sportswriter
Kansas softball split its last series of the season against Iowa State with a 3-2 loss Saturday and a 3-1 victory yesterday.
Freshman Kassie Humphreys recorded the loss on Saturday as her record fell to 14-11. Senior Kara Pierce notched the victory yesterday and improved to 17-11 overall.
Yesterday's 3-1 victory was led by a Jayhawk team that recorded nine hits. Sophomore left fielder Heather Stanley, senior right fielder Sylvia Pfeiffer and senior third baseman Smith all had two hits. Stanley recorded one RBI while Pfeiffer recorded two. Also with hits were freshman designated player Nicole Washburn, senior first baseman Leah Mountain and sophomore second baseman Jessica Moppin.
Kansas' first run came on a single by Smith down the left field line. Pfeiffer then doubled to left field, allowing sophomore Ashley Goodrich to
advance to third. Goodrich had entered the game as a pinch runner for Smith. A sacrificed fly by Stanley drove in Goodrich and moved Pfeiffer to third.
goodneth and moved Kansas also scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth. Mountain began the inning with another single down the left field line. She was replaced by pinch runner Kathy McVey on the base paths. A sacrificed bunt by Moppin moved McVey to second. Pfeiffer then took a 2-out pitch out of the park, earning two RBI for herself.
Iowa State's only run of the game was in the top of the first when Pierce gave up a walk and two singles.
Both games this weekend were highlighted by many hits. ISU recorded 10 hits on Saturday and won, while KU recorded nine yesterday and won. Kansas also had six hits on Saturday.
Kansas' two runs on Saturday came in a fashion similar to yesterday. Senior center fielder Mel Wallach singled down the left field line. A double to the same place by sophomore designated player Serena Settlemier moved Wallach around to third base. A single up the middle by Mountain brought Wallach in and allowed Settlemier to move to third. The last run of the inning came when Moppin singled to left field, allowing Settlemier to score.
ISU recorded three runs, one in the third and two in the fourth.

The loss moved Knippschild to 5-8 on the season.
The Kansas pitching staff looked much improved this weekend as it was able to limit the Longhorns to 10 runs in the series' first two games.
In Saturday's contest the 'Hawks fell 6-5, with all five runs in the top of the ninth.
Junior catcher Sean Richardson blasted a grand slam in the ninth but Andy Scholl hit a pop fly to end the game.
Starter Mike Zagurski went 4.2 innings and four runs were scored, however just one was earned because
of an error on sophomore second baseman Matt Baty.
Don Czyz relieved Zagurski and went three innings and allowed two runs.
On Friday, freshman Ryotaro Hayakawa shut down the Longhorns as he relieved starter Ken Livesey. Livesey went 1.2 innings and allowed four runs.

Hayakawa finished the game for Livesey as he pitched the remaining 6.2 innings, allowing just four hits and striking out three.

Kansas managed to score in the top of the first as Ritchie Price scored on a wild pitch to give Kansas a 1-0 lead.
of the inning with two runs from Drew Stubbs on a wild pitch and Hunter Harris on a sacrifice fly.
In the bottom half of the second the Longhorns plated two more runs on a solo home run from Robby Hudson and J.D. Reininger scored on an RBI single from Harris.
Those would be all the runs the Longhorns would need. The Hawks managed just one more run in the contest on a double by Ryan Baty to score Price.
Next up for the 'Hawks is Oral Roberts at 6 p.m. tomorrow at Hoglund Ballpark.

Weightlifter aims for first at Olympics
Athlete wants to increase lift weight by more than 100 lbs.
The Associated Press
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — Shane Hamman can dead-lift more weight than any Olympic athlete in America, Imagine being able to hoist the back end of a Ford Focus or a Dodge Neon above one's head, and you get the idea.
While he has become something of a celebrity in a sport in which few Americans can name a single participant — he regularly makes TV appearances and expects to hit Letterman and Leno before the Olympics — Hamman's biggest athletic challenge will come in the next three months.
During a time span that, for weightlifters, is a relative blink of the eye, Hamman must increase his lifting significantly if he is to medal in Athens.
His two-lift total of 903 3/4 pounds during Saturday's U.S. Olympic trials
sounds exceptional, but is far below the 1,041 1/2 pounds hoisted by gold medalist Hossein Rezazadeh of Iran during the 2000 Olympics.
Rezazadeh, perhaps the best-known athlete in his country, has since had combined lifts of 1,047 pounds in competition, and is talking about raising even more weight in Athens.
In a sport in which even minimal increases in performance require months of exhausting training, Hamman seemingly has an insurmountable gap to close to substantially improve upon his 10th place finish in Sydney.
Hamman is convinced he can do it, even though these next 90 days already looked jammed with numerous media appearances, commercial endorsements and dealing with the prerequisite attention that is splashed upon Olympic athletes once every four years.
"That's what's going to be determined in my next three months of training, if I'm able to close that gap or not," said Hamman, of Mustang, Okla.
"That's exactly what I'm expecting to do. I'm not looking at finishing fifth or something, it's going to be all or nothing
"I'm not looking at finishing fifth or something, it's going to be all or nothing for me at
this one."

for me at this one. I'm going to load up the weight, and I'm going to try it," he said.
For all his infectious enthusiasm and optimism, Hamman understands the challenge ahead.
Nevertheless, Haworth's female counterpart, 2000 bronze medalist Cheryl Haworth said, "They're all scared of him," a reference to the rest of the men's field.
"I'm going to be adding a lot of kilos to my total," Hamman said. "I have numbers in my mind but it's all going to come
No American super heavyweight has won a weightlifting medal since Mario Martinez took a silver in the Russian-boycott Los Angeles games of 1984.
down to what I need (to medal). That's
what I'm training for."
Hamman will be joined on the U.S. men's team by the 185-pound Oscar Chaplin III, also a 2000 Olympian, and 170-pound newcomer Chad Vaughn, who held off hometown favorite Pete Kelley of St. Joseph for the third and final spot.
Hamman, Chaplin and Vaughn began the trials ranked 1-2-3 based on past performance and weren't bumped, even though Chaplin managed to complete only one of four lifts on achy knees. Kelley, who was No. 4, looked ready to bump Vaughn when he set a U.S. weight-class record in the snatch.
The only U. S. weightlifting medalists in Sydney, Tara Cunningham (gold) and Haworth, will form a downsized two-woman team after holding off all challengers Saturday.
The United States lost two of the four women's slots it had in Sydney because of a low finish in last year's world championships, when Haworth — who usually supplies 40 percent of the U.S. scoring — was injured and could not compete.
KC ends road-game skid in Boston
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Bill Mueller put Jaime Cerda's first pitch over the Green Monster — foul — missing a game-tying grand slam by a few feet.
Mueller then fouled off eight more pitches in a 13-pitch at-bat.
With a full count, two outs and the baseloaded. Cedda then got Mueller to

After the first pitch,
"I turned and looked

Cerda, who had never

Cerda, who will been to Fenway Park before. "The electricity out there was unbelievable. Nine pitches in a row and the crowd is getting louder and louder and louder. It was real fun. I'll tell you that."
Darrell May earned his first victory of the season and Carlos Beltran drove in four runs on three hits to help the Royals snap a four-game losing streak. May (1-3) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk, striking out five before leaving with the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth.
Cerda came in to face Mueller, who hit a two-run homer in the second inning and was batting 5-for-10 with four homers and seven RBI in his career against May. After the first shot went foul, Mueller took two balls before fouling off eight consecutive pitches.
The next pitch was high to make it a full count, and then Mueller hit an easy bouncer to third to end the threat.
Cerda went two innings and allowed one run on one hit — Manny Ramirez's solo homer in the eighth. Mike Sweeney was 2-for-2 with three intentional walks and Kelly Stinnett stimmed for the Royals, who won on the road for just the third time all season.
"When a ballclub's struggling, to win a ballgame can mean a lot," manager Tony Pena said. "It might turn around something. It's time."
Derek Lowe (3-3) gave up six runs on five hits and five walks in 5 2-3 innings and Boston lost for the first time in five games. He gave up two unearned runs in the third and ran into more trouble after bringing a 2-2 tie into the sixth.
With Mark Malaska pitching, Beltran doubled to clear the bases and make it 6-2.
The Red Sox had a chance to tie it in the bottom of the sixth, when they loaded the bases but came away empty handed.

Today's Birthday (May 10)
Today is a 7. You can access information that's not available to others. It would be nice of you to keep them in the loop. That makes it easier for them to assist you, which is a wonderful gift benefit. Let them know.
Today's Birthday (may 10)
Make it a habit to do the homework this year. If you figure out what's required and then provide it before it's requested, you'll score big. This game pays off in cold, hard cash, and you should be good at it. Authority figures are giving you clues. Pay attention and reap the rewards.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7. Apply for the promotion or ask for the raise if you've earned it. Apply for the better job if you want it. Success doesn't happen overnight. It happens slowly, one step at a time.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 7. Travel, meetings and parties are enticing but also distracting. What about all the stuff you said you'd take care of? The stuff that pays the bills? Don't let it slide.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Cancer (June 17) a 7. A person you respect

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Virgo (Aug 23-Sept. 23)
Today is a 7. You should be into full work mode by now. Creativity and imagination are required. If you can get the system to work properly, your reward will be more free time. It's OK if nobody knows but you.
Leo July 19th Today is a 7. You have strong opinions, and you're usually right, but it never hurts to take other people's opinions into consideration. That will make you look even more magnanimous.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is an 8. True love is when you're with a person who brings out the best in you, and vice versa. You need help with the technical data. You're better at the abstract ideas. Talk it over and make sure you're on the same wavelength.
Scorpio (Oct.23-Nov.21)
Today is a 6. The solution is so obvious, you'll wonder why it took so long to find. It's because you have to look in an unexpected
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 7. You've got a great idea brewing, but it isn't quite ready. You're still finding out what aspects won't work, and taking what will work on faith. Your intuition is good, but don't ignore reality. Start out small.
place. Since you love puzzles, this should be fun.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Capricorn (Dec. 22- Jan. 10) Today is a 7. Something that looked too good to be true might actually show a profit. Proceed with caution and trust your intuition. There is something to the old adage, though: Do what you love and the money will follow.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Today is a 7. You'll find what you're looking for if you keep studying. There are many barriers, but if you come up with something that works better, they'll beat a path to your door.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today is a 7. "The Lord will provide." That's what Grandpa said, and he was usually right. If some of what you're imagining doesn't make sense yet, wait and see. You may get the next installment later.

Superstitions make graduating senior wary of Campanile, Jayhawk statue
The feeling you get when you're about to walk into the real world is a strange one.
Illustration by Zach Stinson/Kansan
In the waning weeks of my college career, standing so close to being an alumnus, it seemed time for a bit of reflection.
Reflection to shake this strange feeling and to get something off my chest.
There are a few superstitions that surround graduation that need to be addressed.
Legend has it that if you walk through the Campanile before your commencement you will never graduate.
Supposedly, it doesn't matter how long it is before you're scheduled to get that ever-important degree, you're toast if you pass under it.
commentary
David Nobles
dnobles@hansan.com
Who knows where this superstition came from or how it started; that's not the point.
The point is, the spire that overlooks Memorial Stadium has the University in a state of fear.
As Jayhawks poised to fly from the academic nest, I'm sure there's been a few of us that have made the walk through.
1. for one, am not taking my chances.
And there's been a few people I've met throughout my time here that feel the same way.
I've known people who won't even get within a 50-foot radius of the Tower of Fear.
The iridescent glow that spews from the top of the tower at night serves as a force field of superstition for these poor souls, penetrable only on that fateful day, which is just under two weeks from today.
That's when I'll find out what that thing looks like on the inside, not before.
I'm not scared, mind you. I'm just not going to take my chances.
Graduation day will answer one of the other myths that is whispered in Wescoe Hall: Is the Jawhack in front of Strong Hall going to fly away?
It has been told through the ages that if a virgin ever graduates from the University, our beloved mascot will no longer be a statue, but a flying metal bird.
Now, if the legend is true, eventually this thing's going to takeoff.
Who knows if it's true, but we might find out soon.
Thave yet to see conclusive evidence to prove or disprove either of these superstitions.
of these people People still scurry around the Tower of Fear and well, the Jayhawk is still there.
Go ahead and marinate on that one.

December graduates also welcome to walk down hill
By Candis Stiles
editor@kansan.com
Kansas correspondent
Walking down the hill with friends, passing through the Campanile and eating at the gradation luncheon on the chancellor's lawn are all moments to remember about graduation, but these things happen only once a year and that poses a problem for December graduates.
December graduate about 1,400 students finished their degree requirements in December 2003. Michael Stoecker, Jetmore, graduated last December and has been looking forward to walking down the hill.
"I took part in the graduation ceremony at the Lied Center but some of my family could not come because of the weather." Stoecker said. "I look forward to taking

the hill. According to KU Info, there isn't a procedure for fall graduates who wish to participate in the May ceremony. Students should contact the school that they received their degrees from to find out what they need to do to have their names put in the graduation program.
"I was asked if I wanted to participate in the May ceremony and then just had to get a cap and gown and line up with my school at the set time," Stoecker said.
Some fall graduates may find it difficult to get back to Lawrence for the ceremony, but students who have remained in the Lawrence area should get through the ceremony without any problems. All graduates will meet on Memorial Drive at 2 p.m., find their appropriate school and then follow the instructions of the University marshals.

"Walking down the hill is really pretty low key," Stoecker said. "I've even had a few buddies who were not graduating walk down just for kicks."

More money spent on parties than on commencement attire
By Corrina Anderson editor@kansan.com Kansan correspondent
For the many graduates participating in commencement on May 23, walking down the hill will be the cheapest part of graduating.
After spending thousands of dollars on a college education, graduating seniors are faced with a different cost. It isn't related to the graduation ceremony, but rather the partying being done before and after the big event.
Lauren Morrell, a graduating journalism student from Chicago, said most of her money will be spent on celebrating. She said her parents will cover most of the expenses, but realized it will cost a lot.
realized that Morrell's pre-graduation plans include a Friday night party at a friend's house, a Saturday barbecue, and a dinner with her family later that night. She said her parents wanted to contribute to the party with her friends, but she was worried about the bill.
"We're a pretty big group of friends," Morrall said. "All that beer we plan on drinking will cost a lot."
Kendra Jenkins, a graduating journalism student from Wichita, said partying the last month before graduation has been a priority for her friends and that has one of her biggest expenses.
"We're spending a lot of money going out every night because it's our last month in Lawrence," jenkins said.
jenni said.
She said her parents are paying for everyone's food at one of their weekend get-together.
For other future graduates, family events are a big part of the celebration. However, even when parents are picking up the tab to congratulate their graduate, the festivities get expensive.
Jason Farley, Overland Park
senior graduating from the business school, said the parties have been costly for his parents. The expenses have doubled this year for Farley's family because his sister Jennifer is also graduating.
"My parents couldn't afford two grd parties, so they just invited me to hers." Farley jokingly.
will be spending.
A senior receiving a bachelor's degree can minimize costs and purchase only the bare necessities. The basic cap, gown and tassel shouldn't cost more than $25. Masters candidates will be spending about $40 with the purchase of a master's hood. Extras such as souvenir tassels and personalized announcements are more costly, but are still cheap in comparison to the partying expenses.
Compared to the celebration bills, a minimal amount of money will be spent on actual regalia.

Profiles of graduating seniors
Name: Marcus Bush
Hometown: Hoffman Estates, III.
Major. Journalism." I love being in front of the camera," Bush said.
This year he has anchored on KUJH.
Extracurricular activities: Captain of the cheerleading squad.
How he got into cheerleading:
He's got sports in his genes. His father, Washington Bush, was the athletic director of James B. Conant High School in Hoffman Estates, III. He followed his dad to high-school athletic events and dreamed one day of playing at a basketball state championship. He never played for a state title and quit basketball after 11 years. He joined his high school's co-ed cheerleading squad and fell in love with cheerleading.
Why KU: Bush knew he would go to KU after he watched the men's basketball team defeat the University of Oklahoma Feb. 21, 2000. "What I saw was what I envisioned college would be like," he said. "I realized that's where I wanted to be."
What he's proud of: The cheerleading squad placed in the
top-15 in the Universal Cheer Association, which put the Jayhawks in competition with some big schools such as Kentucky. "I'm competitive and I don't like to lose," he said. "I don't think many people know that we have other responsibilities. We don't just cheer to get a free ticket to the game. We put a lot of work into it."
Favorite part about KU: Bush loves being a part of KU tradition on the KU cheerleading squad. "It's surreal seeing the things that I've seen and experienced," Bush said of traveling to three consecutive NCAA tournaments and almost 30 different cities. "I can't imagine my college experience being more perfect."
Summer plans: Bush is going to be a sports reporter intern for Fox in Kansas City. "I'm going to miss KU, but it's time to move on," he said.
Future plans: Bush said he still wasn't 100 percent sure what he wanted to do, but he's open to pretty much anything. "I don't want to have my life set in stone right now. I just want to see where it takes me."

**Name:** Carrie Cherney
**Hometown:** Agenda, a tiny town in north-central Kansas.
**Major:** Masters in Speech-Language Pathology
**How she chose her major:** She always loved working with kids, and being a speech-language pathologist will allow her to assist young children in being able to communicate better with others, she said. Improved communication enhances an individual's quality of life, and to be able to improve the lives of children is fulfilling, she said.
**Fondest memory:** Making a field goal during halftime of a football game in 2002.
**Advice for those still in college:** Remember that making mistakes is OK, and that the chance to
10
make "college memories" will not come again when you are 40 years-old, she said.
Corrina Anderson
Name: David Saylan
Major(s): Communications. He began college wanting a business degree, but GPA limitations forced him to settle with a major in communication studies, his second choice.
He regretted not applying to the business school, but has no regrets about graduating with a degree in communication studies.
Proudest accomplishment at KU:
Getting into the communications studies program
What will you miss about KU the most: My Hillel friends Fondest KU memory: A toss-up between drinking (and yes, sometimes even getting drunk after one drink)
and the Bagels and Basketball program with Hillel.
Successful college highlights: 1) Going from being inactive in Hilfe to helping plan last year's Shabbat 200, where Hillel gathered more than 200 Jewish students for a Shabbat dinner, and being active with the Senior Leadership Advisory Committee.
2) Maintaining a 3.0 in communications classes.
Hometown: Omaha, Neb.
Hollywood, Olivia.
What he has learned during his time in college: "Have fun, but at the same time get through school. You don't want to be here more than you have to. It's OK procrastinate, but if you do it too much it'll haunt you."

Famous faces make the University a famous place

In past years the University of Kansas has seen many faces walk its campus. A lot of these faces went on to become well-known individuals in fields ranging from theater to engineering. What some of them share is that what they majored in did not necessarily become their career. Others though, took what they gained and applied it in their careers.
and updated one of these faces is author Sara Paretsky. This 1967 political science graduate became one of the most influential female mystery writers. Her books include Blacklist, Total Recall and Killing Orders. Paretsky has also received distinguished awards. In 1988, she received the Silver Dagger Award from the British Crime Writers Association for her book Blood Shot. She was inducted into the University's Hall of Fame the same year. She also received the Mark Twain Award for Distin-

Many basketball legends have graced the University's campus, but no other female surpasses Lynette Woodard. The 1981 speech communications graduate became the University's all-time leading scorer and ended her career with 1,714 rebounds. She became an All-American twice, and went on to help the 1984 Olympic basketball team win the gold. In 1985, she joined the Harlem Globetrotters.
Paul Rudd attended the University in the late '80s. He came to the University as a theater major, and in his second year received the Spencer Tracy Scholarship, but headed for the American
Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles. In 1995, he made his movie debut in Clueless. He also went on to star in Romeo and Juliet, Cider House Rules and The Object of My Affection. He was recently on Friends as Mike, Phoebe's husband.
The theater was also an outlet for William Inge. A1953 graduate in speech and drama, Inge became a noted playwright. His plays include Farther Off From Heaven, Picnic and The Dark at the Top of the Stairs. His most famous screenplay was his first, Splendor in the Grass. It went on to win him an Academy Award for best screenplay. The University is home to his Oscar and his namesake, the William Inge Theater in Murphy Hall.

Economic forecasters pessimistic for spring graduates
By Anne Weltmer
Kansan correspondent
editor@kansan.com
Soon graduates will be entering the full-time work force for the first time. Some lucky students have already gotten jobs lined up, but others are planning to start looking after graduation. For the latter, there are a few important things to know before starting the hunt.
The National Association of Colleges and Employers has done a study to determine the average starting salaries of each
major, comparing the year 2000 graduates with the projected graduates for the year 2004. Some examples include English majors starting at $27,062 in 2000 and now getting $28,786, a 6.4 percent increase; business majors received $33,310 in 2000 and will get a projected $36,012 in 2004, an 8.1 percent increase; and computer science majors received $44,649 in 2000 and will receive $47,109 in 2004, a 5.5 percent increase.
The current job market, on average, starts college graduates off with a higher salary than four
years ago according to the NACE, but that doesn't take into consideration two other important factors: the current economy and the relative scarcity of jobs.
The salaries may be higher, but do they keep up with inflation and the increasing cost that it takes to get the education? That may or may not be the case, depending on the chosen major. In the early 21st century, the United States economy was in a recession, but indicators show circumstances are more favorable now.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia surveyed professional economic forecasters about the gross domestic product and determined "that estimate stands at 4.6 percent in this survey, revised up from the previous estimate of 4.3 percent." The long-term forecasts also said that the GDP is due to increase. The economy is on the upward swing, but inflation is increasing at the rate of 1.6 percent for 2004, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, whereas it was up to 2.1 percent in previous years. With the GDP and inflation
improving, other aspects of the job market may not be as auspicious.
Sure, if you find a job, you're doing well, but how hard is it to secure a job—especially in your field of study? It may not be as easy as you thought. Yes, the salaries have increased, but if a job is nowhere to be found, the salary is zero. While the economy is on upward swing, the job market isn't looking as promising. The same economic forecasters predicting the GDP and inflation said that jobs are growing fewer and farther between.
Employment was said to increase at a 1 percent rate three months ago, but forecasters have changed it to 0.8 percent.
it to 0.8 percent.
The mixed signs coming from different aspects of the economy leave the total state of the job market up in the air. While the GDP and inflation are looking up, the actual number of jobs is decreasing. Look at it this way: When you are applying, you compete with applicants for a better job than four years ago.

University sees increase in graduate school enrollment
By Nate Karlin
editor@kansan.com
Kansan correspondent
Within the past two years, the University of Kansas has experienced a 3.1 percent increase of graduate students. The University now has nearly 6,000 students enrolled in graduate school. Diana Carlin, dean of the graduate school and international programs, said that although the University's number of graduate students has been going down for several years this increase has reversed the trend.
The Midwest has not witnessed as large of an increase in graduate school attendance because other parts of the country have been hit harder with unemployment.
"With the knowledge explosion and the need to change courses—a lot of people get tired of the rat race," Carlin said.
Carlin attributes the booming graduate programs to the rapidly-changing job market. She said that the Edwards Campus programs, which are for working professionals, are popular and successful.
She also said that they used to be a time when a bachelor degree
People "get into a job and they find out their field is changing very rapidly and the only way they're going to keep their position or get promoted or just stay on top of what they need to do is to get more higher education," Carlin said.
One statistic that supports this theory is that the average age of KU graduate students has risen to 30.7. Carlin believes that this number is significantly higher than it was 20 to 25 years ago. She said that people who did not get that graduate degree 25 years ago are now coming back to school to earn it.
"In fact, I think there's an advantage in being out of school in for a couple years — getting the sense of what it is you do and don't want to do and coming back you bring some real world experiences."
Diana Carlin Graduate school dean
would get the really good jobs, but now it has lost some of its luster since so many people have one.
Graduate school enrollment is increasing because career changes are occurring more frequently, Kevin Boully, fourth year graduate student in communications studies, said that attending graduate school was helpful for a career change.
"It's not an irreversible decision," he said. "You can get into grad school and change what you want to study."
Regardless of the reason, deciding either to continue attending school after graduating with a bachelor degree or to return to school in order to earn a higher degree is a personal decision. Boully decided to continue his education immediately after receiving his undergraduate degree.
"It's a choice you need to make in terms of what's your motivation?" he said. "If you're worried about going out into the real world and not coming back then it's always more helpful to go right into it."
doctoral degree so that he can have complete control over his life and essentially become his own boss.
Lori Amey, Cambridge senior, decided to attend graduate school because she wanted to further her education and wasn't ready for the real world. Graduate school is also a necessity for her career choice of cancer genetic counseling.
According to the KU Financial Aid Web site, the cost of graduate tuition and fees for a Kansas resident is $4,308 compared to non-resident tuition and fees of $10,638.
The cost of graduate school should not be a reason to forgo the opportunity for a higher degree. A graduate student can receive up to a maximum $8,500 in subsidized loans and $10,000 in unsubsidized loans.
Many graduate students, such as Bouly, decide to take a different route to pay for their higher degree by working as graduate teaching assistants. The University waives tuition in addition to providing some additional money for living expenses for GTAs. Scholarships are also available through individual departments.
Whatever the reason may be or however long it takes to get started earning that higher degree,graduate school is becoming more of a necessity within the job market.
"Just because a student doesn't want to go to grad school now doesn't mean that they won't go," Carlin said. "In fact, I think there's an advantage in being out of school for a couple of years—getting the sense of what it is you do and don't want to do and coming back you bring some real world experiences."

TOBIAS: He chose University instead of the other one 'to the west'
CONTIUNED FROM PAGE 12B
because I'm an architecture major I use speed to stay awake for my projects, but that is completely false.
Another thing that blows my mind is how some classes revolve around the final. Just another way of proving that school doesn't prepare you for college ...
MAY 2004
MAY 2004 Update: Brandon Tobias is in the fourth year of a five year architecture program.
How can I possibly sum up the last four years worth of experiences in a single journal entry? 1
don't expect everyone to understand everything that's included, but that's what college is all about inside jokes and crazy stuff that only you and your friends get. The basics:
Thanks to architecture being a five year program (nope, never changed majors) I won't graduate until next year. I'll also be returning to Pearson Scholarship Hall for my fifth year (sure an apartment would have been nice in some regards, but I really don't think I could see myself anywhere else but hanging out with an amazing group of guys that have all become brothers to a guy that doesn't have one). Still working on campus but I'm now in the
wood shop in Marvin Hall, so I'm literally there all the time. Not making trips to Manhattan anymore, but I've recently discovered that the Big 12 Conference does matter. Any free time that I have is spent playing basketball at the Rec Center, hanging out at B-Dub's or the Red Lyon or watching *The Last Samurai*.
Nowhere like the University:
Nowhere like the funny (or scary) to think that I actually considered going to school at that university to the west. I said "considered" — not "wanted." I mean, I'm sure Kansas State rocks, and by "rocks" I mean "sucks," but the point is that this is it. The University is home — where I'm supposed to be. I can't hear nearly 50,000 people sing our alma mater before kicking the hell out of Mizzou with out getting that goofy feeling in my stomach.
goody teenage life. I've become involved in the University of Kansas Ambassadors (yeah, I walk backwards) as well as tours of Marvin Hall. I'm active in my scholarship hall and the All Scholarship Hall Council. I volunteer at the University of Kansas relays as well as Relay for Life.
In some small way I hope these activities can give at least some part of what I've experienced back to the University.

JUDILLA: Art student didn't let others' opinions change her
NOVEMBER 2009
CONTIUNED FROM PAGE 12R
NOVEMBER 2015
I've been making decent grades here, but I haven't fully applied myself to my studies. I seem to be so carefree with things.
Being late to class isn't a big deal anymore. Doing homework is optional, and people's opinions of me matter less and less. I think the reason I'm not stressed out lies mostly in the fact that I don't care about a lot of things. I'm making all B's, so it's not like there's an urgency to improve my grades. Maybe Thanksgiving Break will give me back my drive
DECEMBER2000
Thanksgiving break was perfect. I didn't realize how much I had missed my high school
friends until I saw them again. My friend's father died the week before break, so a whole group of us drove down to go to the rosary. It's amazing how tragedy can bring people together. Hugs and tears turned into laughter and crazy stories from college life. It was hard for us to leave each other after that.
MAY 2004
MAY 2004
Update: Rea Judilla will graduate this month with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in printmaking and minor in art history (with honors).
Q: What has changed since you did the journal entries for the Kansan?
A: Since I first wrote journals my freshman year, I've had to really grow up and find myself. In the final stretch of my stay here,
I've gone through a lot of phases and reached a lot of false truths and ideas about art, morality, relationships and identity. But in the end, the more and more I think about it, the more I realized how right I was as a freshman. For example, I wanted to do art and I wanted to express myself and I didn't let people's opinions of me mold me. I was in Templin Hall, the only kid studying art. I pissed off my roommates. I walked around covered in charcoal. I joined a sorority. I liked my alone time. Sure, I may have been haphazard and rough around the edges but I was honest.
A: So many times in our efforts to mature and love people, we just roll over or smile at dumb jokes and assume the role we feel intended to play. I do it all the
Q: What have you learned?
Q: What are your plans for the future?
future?
A: The ultimate development is my hurried and complicated graduation, on account of my internship and eventual ( fingerscrossed) job as a fine arts silk screen printmaker in New York at Brand-X Editions. I was lucky enough to find out about the opportunity through an alum of KU and a painting major from Wichita, just like me (except I switched my emphasis to printmaking). So, I'm living the dream, working hard trying to cut it as a wannabe artist in New York City.

NOVEMBER 2000
Something I've noticed abut this campus has been bothering me for a while. Being in college, one would think that these young adults, regardless of how conservative/liberal a lifestyle, would exude a sense of self-confidence. Then why, I ask, doesn't anybody look a person in the face as they walk by?
respect for who they are, but also a way to show confidence in yourself. Walking with your head held high is a thing of the past. And why is that?

DECEMBER 2006
Even on a campus of 25,000 people, we sometimes find cliques or sects to be a part of. Thus, we are in our place. I'm a scholarship hall guy. I'm an "archie." I didn't necessarily ask for those labels, but I've accepted
them for what they are: fairly accurate, but still innocuous. Mo matter where they came from before, who they were, how they acted, or what they did, people come to college and are filed away rather quickly and accurately. Frat boys, sorority girls, queers, Bible-beaters or even your "typical" college student is categorized

... The people here are friendly,
but it's still quite a culture shock.
I'm not used to seeing so many
"minorities" - North Dakota (or
at least the corner I come from) is
about 98 percent white. ...
I've noticed there's a lot of idealists around here. It bothers me that people would waste so much time on worthless causes.
NOVEMBER 2000
I still don't have a clue what I want to do with my life. But college is really changing some of my
views of life, and I have faith that God is shaping me for the future.
DECEMBER 2000
I get the feeling the editors of the Kansan have been taking out as many of my comments about God as possible. I'm beyond being politically correct.
College has waken me up to God's plan for my life. My newfound faith has changed my speech, my behaviors, my thoughts and my emotions. What greater freshman experience would there be?
MAY 2004 Update: Pull is studying abroad in Costa Rica until July. He will graduate in August. He started college majoring in engineering, spent a year undecided and after a study abroad trip decided on Spanish.
MAY 2004
Q: What has changed since you did the journal entries for the Kansan?
A: Well, a lot. I've changed majors, become more self-confident, and learned a lot about God, the world and human behavior. I've seen a lot of stupid things, but a lot of noble actions as well, and I've caught a little bit of a dream for the future that doesn't have as much to do with money as it used to.
Q: Has your perspective changed at all?
A: Yeah, quite a bit. I realized that I wasn't about to become a contender for the "center of the universe" award, and that this life is super-short.

more "self-discovering" in a cultural group, and I was really excited to hear the invitation. It's hard sometimes to make that effort, though. A lot of times I feel cut off from the majority of the Asian population, regardless of my father's background. I often feel labeled as just another white girl.
Today at lunch, I decided that my roommates and I should sit at the nearest and largest table. After a little while, someone made the
comment of how many segregations there were around us. Nearly every table in our section was populated by African-American people.
"They separate themselves and call other people racist," someone said. "Why don't they try to expand from what they know?"
How do I react to that? I feel like part of that comment is directed at me. I grew up surrounded by mostly "white" people, and yet I still take comfort in those type of people now.
Why don't I step out of my comfort zone and try to meet some culturally different people? No matter my effort or thought on the matter, I'll end up being a hypocrite. You can't try to make friends with people simply based on the fact that they look different.

Bryan Behgam, vice president of the University of Kansas Young Democrats, said that members were going to the box office to get tickets on an individual basis instead of organizing a group event.
While students prepare to camp and wait for tickets, the Institute is taking part in other preparations. Konzem said the Secret Service would be on campus early next week to secure the area, as it did last July when former President Jimmy Carter spoke at the Institute dedication.
"It's not every day you get a former president on campus," Konzem said.

As part of the legacy he will leave at the University, he has organized the formation of the Shimomura Faculty Research Fund for the development of studio art. He initiated the fund with a donation of $25,000. Donations can be made through the Kansas University Endowment Association.

House passes illegal-immigrant tuition bill
Undocumented students would be eligible for in-state rates

Kansas staff writer
Andrea Pardo has dreamed of being able to attend Kansas State University to study architecture for a while. Pardo, 17, is a senior at Wyandotte High School in Kansas City, Kan., and has lived in Kansas for the last three years. Although she has been accepted to Kansas State, her dreams of attending the school this fall have been a long shot because she is an undocumented student and therefore not eligible for in-state tuition. But now all that is going to change.
The Kansas House of Representatives passed a bill last Tuesday that gave undocumented students living in Kansas the right to in-state tuition at the state's colleges and universities. An undocumented student is an illegal immigrant who has attended school in Kansas.

next couple of weeks, it will go into effect July 1.
She said now that the bill has passed, she will be able to attend Kansas State.

A team of University of Kansas aerospace engineering students rode the lightweight wings of Kahuna to the winners circle at a competition in Orlando, Fla., in last month.
Kahuna, a radio-controlled aircraft the students designed and built, won the award for Best Design Report. The aircraft performed well, flying several times, but did not win any other awards
The team began the project in the summer of 2003. After its win in Orlando, the team will take the plane to the Aero Design West Competition this June in Fort Worth, Texas.
Bill Donovan, Osawatomie senior,

The Governor of Kansas is about to sign legislation to offer resident tuition worth more than $7,200 a year to certain undocumented aliens.
To offer this benefit to illegal aliens is discriminatory under federal law unless all enrolled U.S. citizens are offered resident tuition rates, including all out-of-state American students.
Students who oppose illegal immigration and unfair discrimination against Americans can join a lawsuit being prepared to challenge this unlawful decision and protect your rights.

Smells like fermentation
Campus stench likely caused by moisture in new mulch
By Jesse Tuesdale
jruesdale@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
That smell you've noticed on campus last week was not, technically speaking, poo.
It was the product of tiny organisms in the recently laid mulch under the shrubbery and trees across campus.
Mike Lang, landscape manager for Facilities Operations, said his department began laying the mulch two weeks ago.
Lang said he has heard only a few complaints about the smell of the mulch.
ronnette Chase Alone, Fort Yates, N.D., freshman, said she thought the smell was from "dog shit."
Chase Alone said she wouldn't stop eating lunch on campus because of the smell.
because of the sniff. In order to avoid the smell, she takes the bus more often, she said.
Tom Willson, a research scientist and assistant professor at Kansas State University's Southwest Research Extension Center in Garden City, said the smell was probably because of moisture in the mulch.
Because the mulch got rained on, or it was stored improperly, or both, the microbial bacteria in the shredded oak mulch did not get enough oxygen.
get enough oxygen As a result, the microbes had to consume the wood bits they call home.
In this process, called anaerobic fermentation, the microbes often give off nitrates and sulfates as a waste product, which is probably what produced the smell Willson said.
Anaerobic means "without oxygen."
Fermentation is the process in which an agent causes an organic substance to break down into simpler substances.
but not as bad for the smell He said the reason for the smell was probably fermentation of the mulch caused by too much moisture from rain.
Mike Lang said the mulch usually smells a little after it is spread, but not as bad as it did last week.
Lang said the smell should dissipate over time.

Order likely to be used in appeal to Supreme Court
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — With lawmakers having adjourned their annual legislative session without making any changes to the state's school finance system, the judge who earlier found that system unconstitutional plans to issue his final ruling in the case today.
Shawnee County District Judge Terry Bullock will release his order at 11 a.m. today in his office. Pressed for details yesterday, Bullock replied: "Tune in."

He also found the existing level of funding inadequate.

Court.
Attorney General Phill Kline, representing the state, and Dan Biles, for the State Board of Education, filed such an appeal in March. Arguments before the Kansas Supreme Court are expected this September, with a ruling perhaps as early as October.
Kline declined Monday to comment on Bullock's impending ruling, but scheduled a news conference for 2 p.m. today.

Alan Rupe, attorney for the
school districts, said Bullock's
ruling would likely be looked at
by the Kansas Supreme Court
when it hears the appeal
"Chances are he's got a remedy in mind," Rupe said. "I'm glad somebody does, the Legislature sure doesn't. I think it's a real positive development."
Bullock's preliminary ruling suggested, based on evidence presented during an eight-day trial, that Kansas could be underfunding schools by as much as $1 billion a year. That figure was based on a 2002 study by Denver-based consultants Augenblick and Myers, and Bullock noted it assumed no changes being made in distribution of funds.
He denied a request later in December by Biles to make his order final, writing simply: "JUST GO FIX IT."
Legislators adjourned the 2004 session on Saturday, despite failing to put additional dollars into elementary and secondary education. Various plans surfaced during the 89-day session, including a three-year, $304 million plan from Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and a $155
million plan from Rep. Bill Kassebaum, R-Burdick, and a coalition of House Democrats and moderate Republicans. Both plans were funded by increases in sales and income taxes.
Senators proposed to put $72 million additional dollars into schools, using the state's cash reserves and borrowing from the state employee pension fund.
The final effort, an $82 million compromise funded by borrowing money from the state transportation program passed in the Senate but failed in the House.
Legislators adjourned, waiting for guidance from Bullock, the Kansas Supreme Court, the outcome of fall elections and further legislative study of funding issues before the 2005 session begins in January.
House speaker Doug Mays (R- Topeka) said the case is not for Bullock to decide, but the seven justices of the higher court.
"He can't order us to do anything," Mays said.
Couple grateful for house makeover
The Associated Press
WELLINGTON — Returning from a weekend in Wichita, Karen and Richard Peralez were flabbergasted to find what had happened to their home.
Friends who had been doing all they could to help the couple deal with their son's death earlier this year decided to do wholesale makeover of their home.
makeover or otherwise.
Daniel Peralze, 17, was killed in January in a train collision. Close friend Darla McGovenn said that in her frequent talks with the boy's mother, "one of the things that kept coming up was how it was really hard to keep coming home to the same house, the same everything."
So McGovern enlisted other friends of the couple to do something about it. Dozens of people went to work starting Friday evening, continuing Saturday and Sunday. By 3:30 p.m. Sunday, most
of the work was done, with more than 60 people putting finishing touches on "The Perealz Project."
The friends laid new carpet on the floor and stairs, painted the brown wall panels a light cream color, sanded and painted the kitchen cabinets, put down new flooring in kitchen bathroom, remodeled the bathroom and planted some flowers outside.
When the Peralezes arrived home about 6 p.m. Sunday, McGovern was there to greet them at the front door, with everybody else hiding in the back yard. When she led them into the building, Karen began to cry, and Richard exclaimed, "Holy refried beans!"
“Oh, my God,” Karen said through her tears. “It’s beautiful.”
"We have the best friends and family in the whole world," Karen said. "I love each and every one of you. And I can't believe you went through so much work."

Smells like fermentation
Campus stench likely caused by moisture in new mulch
By Jesse Tuesdale
jturesdale@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
That smell you've noticed on campus last week was not, technically speaking, poo.
It was the product of tiny organisms in the recently laid mulch under the shrubbery and trees across campus.
Mike Lang, landscape manager for Facilities Operations, said his department began laying the mulch two weeks ago.
Lang said he has heard only a few complaints about the smell of the mulch.
Ronnette Chase Alone, Fort Yates, N.D., freshman, said she thought the smell was from "dog shit."
Chase Alone said she wouldn't stop eating lunch on campus because of the smell.
In order to avoid the smell, she takes the bus more often, she said.
Tom Willson, a research scientist and assistant professor at Kansas State University's Southwest Research Extension Center in Garden City, said the smell was probably because of moisture in the mulch.
Because the mulch got rained on, or it was stored improperly, or both, the microbial bacteria in the shredded oak mulch did not get enough oxygen.
get through 0.9g of carbon.
As a result, the microbes had to consume the wood bits they call home.
In this process, called anaero
bic fermentation, the microbes often give off nitrates and sulfates as a waste product, which is probably what produced the smell, Willson said.
Anaerobic means "without oxygen."
Fermentation is the process in which an agent causes an organic substance to break down into simpler substances.
Mike Lang said the mulch usually smells a little after it is spread, but not as bad as it did last week.
He said the reason for the smell was probably fermentation of the mulch caused by too much moisture from rain.
Lang said the smell should dissipate over time.

Judge to issue school-funding ruling
Order likely to be used in appeal to Supreme Court
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — With lawmakers having adjourned their annual legislative session without making any changes to the state's school finance system, the judge who earlier found that system unconstitutional plans to issue his final ruling in the case today.
Shawnee County District Judge Terry Bullock will release his order at 11 a.m. today in his office.Pressed for details yesterday, Bullock replied:"Tune in."

He also found the existing level of funding inadequate.
level of training made. Bullock gave legislators the 2004 session to fix the system, setting a deadline of July 1 to make his order final. Legislators responded by passing a law allowing the state to immediately appeal the preliminary order to the Kansas Supreme Court.
Attorney General Phill Kline, representing the state, and Dan Biles, for the State Board of Education, filed such an appeal in March. Arguments before the Kansas Supreme Court are expected this September, with a ruling perhaps as early as October.
Kline declined Monday to comment on Bullock's impending ruling, but scheduled a news conference for 2 p.m. today.
conference for 2014. Alan Rupe, attorney for the school districts, said Bullock's ruling would likely be looked at by the Kansas Supreme Court
when it hears the appeal
Bullock's preliminary ruling suggested, based on evidence presented during an eight-day trial, that Kansas could be under-funding schools by as much as $1 billion a year. That figure was based on a 2002 study by Denver-based consultants Augenblick and Myers, and Bullock noted it assumed no changes being made in distribution of funds.
"Chances are he's got a remedy in mind," Rupe said. "I'm glad somebody does, the Legislature sure doesn't. I think it's a real positive development."
He denied a request later in December by Biles to make his order final, writing simply: "IJUST GO FIX IT."
Legislators adjourned the 2004 session on Saturday, despite failing to put additional dollars into elementary and secondary education. Various plans surfaced during the 89-day session, including a three-year, $304 million plan from Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and a $155
million plan from Rep. Bill Kassebaum, R-Burdick, and a coalition of House Democrats and moderate Republicans. Both plans were funded by increases in sales and income taxes.
taxes. Senators proposed to put $72 million additional dollars into schools, using the state's cash reserves and borrowing from the state employee pension fund.
The final effort, an $82 million compromise funded by borrowing money from the state transportation program passed in the Senate but failed in the House.
Legislators adjourned, waiting for guidance from Bullock, the Kansas Supreme Court, the outcome of fall elections and further legislative study of funding issues before the 2005 session begins in January.

Couple grateful for house makeover
The Associated Press
Friends who had been doing all they could to help the couple deal with their son's death earlier this year decided to do wholesale makeover of their home.
WELLINGTON — Returning from a weekend in Wichita, Karen and Richard Peralez were flabbergasted to find what had happened to their home.
Daniel Peralez, 17, was killed in January in a train collision. Close friend Darla McGovern said that in her frequent talks with the boy's mother, "one of the things that kept coming up was how it was really hard to keep coming home to the same house, the same everything."
So McGovern enlisted other friends of the couple to do something about it. Dozens of people went to work starting Friday evening, continuing Saturday and Sunday. By 3:30 p.m. Sunday, most
of the work was done, with more than 60 people putting finishing touches on "The Peralez Project."
The friends laid new carpet on the floor and stairs, painted the brown wall panels a light cream color, sanded and painted the kitchen cabinets, put down new flooring in kitchen bathroom, remodeled the bathroom and planted some flowers outside.
When the Peralezes arrived home about 6 p.m. Sunday, McGovern was there to greet them at the front door, with everybody else hiding in the back yard. When she led them into the building, Karen began to cry, and Richard exclaimed, "Holy refried beans!"
"Oh, my God." Karen said through her tears. "It's beautiful."
"We have the best friends and family in the whole world," Karen said. "I love each and every one of you. And I can't believe you went through so much work."

FACE-OFF
Offensive cartoon not fit for publication
The editorial cartoon was not appropriate for the opinion page and shouldn't have been published.
I understand the singular nature of a political cartoon. It relies on satire and caricature to make a stronger point than could be made with words. For this reason, political cartoons are not judged according to the same standard as opinion columns. Yet, this does not mean that anything goes in this medium; there must be standards.
benei. The Catholic Church teaches, and many KU students believe, that what the faithful receive when they go up to Communion is not unleavened bread and red wine but the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. To replace the Body of Christ with an instrument of violent dismemberment is wildly inappropriate.
The problem with Friday's cartoon was that is was a direct mockery of a central religious belief.
It was suggested that the cartoonist couldn't have made such a strong point had he not mocked the belief in the True Presence.
That might be true, but it is hardly the point. There is a good deal of lip-service paid on this campus to things such as "diversity" and "multiculturalism." Supposedly this is the idea that a wide range of beliefs should be available to students so as to broaden their educational experience outside of the classroom. Respecting religious diversity means not making an outright assault on the central beliefs of a particular faith.
I tried unsuccessfully to get the Kansan to publish an official apology for the cartoon,but the editors made a decision not to do so.
This was frustrating because the cartoon was the single most offensive thing published on the opinion page during my time at the University of Kansas.
I have cause to wonder if a cartoon so odious to other groups on this campus would have ever made it into the paper. We can't simultaneously celebrate diversity and declare open season on the beliefs of the Catholic Church.

FACE-OFF
A cartoon that appeared in the April 30 edition of The University Daily Kansan caused discussion between a Kansan columnist and the editor of the Kansan. The cartoon depicted presidential candidate John Kerry and a Catholic bishop.To see the cartoon, go to www.kansan.com.
The editorial cartoon by Zach Newton meets the standard for publication in The University Daily Kansan.
Political depiction sparked discussion
This cartoon would not have met the standard of publication if it was libelous or did nothing to convey a respectful opinion or further discussion.
The cartoon pictured a Catholic bishop giving communion to Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. Instead of the host, Kerry is reaching out his hands to receive a coat hanger. Newton was commenting on the recent story that a priest allegedly refused to give Communion to Kerry, who is Catholic, because he is for abortion rights.
The cartoonist, Newton, said the cartoon was not drawn to intentionally upset readers but to draw attention to a topic that wasn't being discussed on campus. Sometimes Newton is assigned to do a certain cartoon for the opinion page; other times, such as in this case, Newton chooses his own topic.
This cartoon met the standards for publication because although it is offensive to some, it creates a strong discourse on campus for discussion. Editorial cartoons are meant to spark dialogue on campus and, in some cases, this is done in a way to grab people's attention.
"When I am assigned to do a cartoon for The University Daily Kansan, I try to think of every angle I could possibly approach the cartoon from," Newton said. "I try to illustrate the main points of a news item, as well as throw in other aspects to make it more interesting, funny or brow-raising. There have been cartoons I have done that I'm sure have raised a few brows and, perhaps, the blood pressure of some readers."
The cartoon has drawn sharp criticism from some members of the Catholic faith.
"I respect the opinions of these readers and respect their commitment to their faith, just as I would expect them to respect my opinion on this issue," said Newton, who is Catholic. "That is why I am an editorial cartoonist on the opinion page."

PERSPECTIVE
Logistics replace romance
Living together, shacking up, living in sin or serial monogamy. Call it what you may, but the days of courting before marriage may be over. People are now turning to a rising trend of cohabitating.
For many, it has become a logical way to save money by sharing everything with their significant other. For others, it is a trial to see if marriage lies in their future.
Popular opinion suggests that living together before marriage is a good idea a sort of trial period. There is, however an ever-growing collection of research data that shed an unfavorable light on cohabitation.
Dana J. McCormick
In Patricia Morgan's book, *Marriage-Lite*, she reported that in the mid-1960s, only 5 percent of single women lived with a man before getting married. But by the 1990s, about 70 percent did so.
A recent study done by the U.S. Census Bureau showed that marriages that are preceded by living together have more than a 50 percent higher divorce or separation rate than marriages without premarital cohabitation.
COMMENTARY
Morgan said many women today thought living with a man would automatically turn into marriage, which normally wasn't true.
Kari Zimmerman opinion@kansan.com
In recent years, cohabitation has become the new form of anti-divorce. Today, when the institution of marriage seems to be less revered, and 50 percent of marriages end in divorce, Morgan said, many couples lived together in order to test-drive holy matrimony before they said "I do."
In the 1970s, cohabitation was thought of as the way to be anti-marriage. It was an easy way for couples to share rent, spend time together and not have any sort of commitment.
"Young adults that have grown up in the last 10 to 15 years have had a horrible time dealing with their parent's divorces, custody and so on," Morgan said. "They

are in no hurry to make the same mistakes their parents did."
"It's an appealing one. It's a seductive one. It's a fun one. It saves money. It does a bunch of good things." Dailley said.
Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare at the University of Kansas, is concerned cohabiting is a substitute for permanent commitment and intimacy.
So, if you're that hopeful person who wants romance the old fashion way, logistics might have you sharing a toothbrush and bank account before sharing the "I dos."
someone into making a "People must learn to honestly talk to their partners and really address the issue as to why they feel they must live together." Dailey said.
Dailey thinks that cohabitation could work for some, but is not a way to trap someone into marriage.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Editorial has flawed logic
Check out the editorial's so-called logic for why stealing music is illegal, but OK:
As someone who teaches a class in media ethics, I was distressed by the Kansan's editorial defending the online theft of music.
1. Artists and record companies are disgustingly rich. Using that logic, why not jump in the car and head up to Omaha to burglarize Warren Buffett's house?
2. Such "file-sharing" will always be around. Well, OK, but ditto for crimes such as murder and child abuse. Does that mean it's OK to shoot our teenagers?
3. Most who illegally download music will never get caught. Aah So, if a criminal is successful in the end, the illegal means are irrelevant?
Many may never get caught. However much the Kansan insists they are innocent file sharers, those with a conscience will know what they really are: thieves.
In a moral sense, downloading an album without paying for it is no different from shoplifting the same CD at Best Buy. Outkast may be filthy rich. Some so-called music lovers may continue to steal albums.

been gone. Throughout the semester we have completed countless tests, written numerous essays, completed projects and watched our men's basketball team reach the Elite Eight. This has been quite the semester.
However, in the midst of all our toil and celebration, we can easily lose sight of the engine that makes this University function.
This engine is not always visible yet without it none of us would have the opportunity attend this fine academic institution.
This engine includes the hundreds of KU employees that perform custodial duties, cook meals, plow the snow, beautify the landscape, drive buses, deliver mail and provide computer services. These jobs are often thankless and even go unseen.
and ever go elsewhere.
There have been issues this year—the Daisy Hill network problems are a good example. Do we recognize that numerous NTS and ResNet employees were spending their days and nights to solve the problem?
the problem The University of Kansas experienced an "abnormal" amount of snow this past winter. While some streets were slow to be cleared, the maintenance personnel worked faithfully to keep our school functioning.
Consider the employees who clean the residence halls each day, the cooks and servers at Mrs. E's, Oliver and GSP Corbin Hall and the building maintenance workers.
the custodial staff at Murphy Hall, for example, arrives at 4 a.m. each day. Some have families to support and are single parents. How often do you thank the custodial staff at Wescoe? Fraser? Budig? Learned? Murphy? etc.
etc. There are so many employees who work hard for us. We ought to be appreciative of their sacrifice.
I would like to personally and publicly thank each employee of KU for their hard work and sacrifice that has enabled me to study at a fine institution.

Bush supports Rumsfeld as new abuse videos emerge

Seeking to douse speculation about Rumsfeld's future, Bush stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the secretary — along with Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Colin Powell, CIA Director George Tenet and other civilian and military officials — to offer a testimonial before television cameras.

Palestinian Authority announces upcoming elections

RAMALLAH, West Bank The Palestinian Authority decided yesterday to hold its first local elections in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, bowing to pressure to end chaos and corruption plaguing many Palestinian towns.
The increasing anarchy persuaded a reluctant Yasser Arafat to allow the vote, the first electoral test of his government in eight years.

Daschle speaks on prisoner scandal

1985. JOHN CRAFTER
Current Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) spoke to reporters about the Senate's activities and about reopening office buildings closed for anthrax investigation on Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2011, when he was Senate Majority Leader.
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN — American soldiers' abuse of Iraqi prisoners has been an "incalculable disaster" raising larger issues than whether Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld should resign, the U.S. Senate's top Democrat said yesterday.
yesterday.
Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) said the entire American military command beared some responsibility for the abuse. He declined, however, to call for Rumsfeld's resignation, saying that decision must be left to the secretary.
Taking a question from an audience member following his speech, Daschle said of a potential resignation by Rumsfeld: "That in my view is not a proportionate response to the devastation created by the prisoner abuse.
secretary.
Daschle made his comments after a speech at Kansas State University, in which he decried what he called the ugliiness in American politics, and as President Bush issued a strong endorsement of Rumsfeld in Washington.
"Something more systemic is going on here and has to be addressed in a far more comprehensive way than simply the resignation of one official."
In Washington, the Bush administration prepared for the anticipated release of more photo and video images of prisoner abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison, near Baghdad.

"It has been an incalculable disaster, not only undermining our image — our reputation around the world — but most likely putting our men in Iraq, our men and woman in Iraq, in an even more perilous position," Daschle said.
He added: "I think it would be a terrific failure if all we did was use those junior-ranking soldiers directly responsible for the abuse as scapegoats for a larger problem."
But Daschle also emphasized that he believes "99.9 percent" of
American troops are serving honorably, and he defended their presence in Iraq.

Daschle spoke to several hundred people at Kansas State as part of the Landon Lecture series. The series is named for former Kansas Gov. Alf Landon, who was the Republican presidential nominee in 1936, when Franklin D. Roosevelt won the second of his four terms.
Daschle noted that Landon's daughter, former Sen. Nancy Kassebaum Baker, while a proud Republican, worked with Democrats in 1996 to pass health insurance legislation.

He continued: "Demonizing those with whom we disagree politically does not serve the interests of democracy. It does
not resolve differences."
As examples of the meanness in politics, Daschle noted that two Democratic senators, South Dakota's Tim Johnson and Georgia's Max Cleland, were compared in television ads during the 2002 campaign to terrorist Osama bin Laden. Cleland, a decorated veteran who lost three of his limbs in Vietnam, was defeated in his bid for re-election.

School rededicates 148-year-old bell
The Associated Press
LAWRENCE — A bell that hung in a Lawrence church in the era of Missouri-Kansas border violence leading up to the Civil War has been moved to a higher-visibility location at Lawrence High School, its home for more than 40 years.
About 60 people turned out Sunday for a ceremony rededicating the 1,600-pound bell, now inside a glass display case in the high school commons area. Members of the class of 2004 made it a project to research the history of the bell and call more attention to it.
attention. "Hopefully, the community will enjoy the gift as much of the school," said senior Karen Bentley, who rang the bell after its unveiling.
The bell was made in Boston
in 1856 to be hung at the Unitarian Church in Lawrence, which was the center for abolitionist thought in the area. It was paid for with donations from church members and Boston officials. The fund-raising effort picked up after news about Lawrence being attacked by pro-slavery border ruffians reached the Boston area.
Boston held
The bell was sold to the Lawrence school district in the 1890s and placed in the tower of a new high school, but eventually ended up in storage. It was moved to Lawrence High School in 1961, but was kept in what history and government teacher Paul Stew described as a "dark hole in the wall."
"Not a whole lot of people knew what it was or where it was," said senior class president Nathan Lindsey.
U.S. authorities bust child prostitution ring
The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — State and federal charges accusing 19 people of crimes including child prostitution, sex trafficking of children and pimping were announced yesterday by the U.S. attorney's office.
Pimps allegedly transported girls as young as 13 to cities in Texas, Florida, Colorado, Pennsylvania and Arkansas for prostitution, said U.S. Attorney Robert McCambell.
McCambell said pimps recruited young girls, many of whom were runaways, and then controlled them through violence, threats and intimidation.
Although McCambell would not elaborate on the details of the evidence,he said much of the prostitution took place at truck stops in and around Oklahoma
CityMcCambell said in the last several months at least 13 underage girls who worked as prostitutes have been located and reunited with their families.
The charges were the result of a yearlong investigation involving state and local law enforcement agencies and the FBI.
Sam Macaluso, an FBI agent in Oklahoma City, said initial reports began surfacing about a year ago from informants involved with Oklahoma City's street gangs.
Oklahoma County District Attorney Wes Lane said the culmination of arrests and warrants was one of the most significant actions taken against prostitution in central Oklahoma in the last 20 years. He added that the investigation was ongoing and that additional arrests are expected.

California, Illinois, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Oklahoma state have all passed similar legislation. U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) is working on a similar bill at the national level.
BILL: Legislation makes college more affordable
"I knew it wasn't an idea out of left field." Storm said.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform, or FAIR, is a group based in Washington, D.C., that opposes this type of legislation on a national level, fighting against it in the states where it is brought up. The group's stance is that the bill is a scheme that rewards illegal aliens and could lead to overcrowding in the schools.

The bill's passing in the Legislature — Senate passed it in February — will have economic benefits because people who get educated will be able to contribute to the Kansas economy, said Raymond Rico, Kansas City, Kan., junior, Hispanic American Leadership Organization member and intern for Gov. Sebelius
"You'll see more college willing to attend college without the barrier of out-of-state tuition," he said.
"This isn't a terrorism issue," he said. "It's not even an immigration issue. It's an economic issue."
He said the people who would qualify for in-state tuition were good students who had overcome a lot of barriers to get where they were.

He said the bill was a step in the right direction, but many undocumented students would still need financial aid to attend the University. The bill doesn't include anything about financial aid.
Instead, the bill will have a much bigger effect on community colleges throughout the state, he said.
"It if helps local kids from Garden City go to a Garden City community college, that is important," he said.
He said many of the students affected by the bill lived in western Kansas and were living close to the poverty line.

impossible Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said the school didn't track the number of undocumented students or prospective undocumented students, so there was no way of measuring the effect at the University. Although the bill didn't include anything about financial aid, Bretz said the University should try to help those students out in any way it can.
Storm, the bill's author, agreed that the bill would not have any significant effect right away at any of the state's universities. She said none of the other states that passed similar legislation saw any great influx of undocumented students at their schools.

FOOTBALL RECRUITING
First-year impression
Big 12 North recruits to make big entrance
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansas senior sportswriter
Every season, recruits step into the Big 12 Conference and make an immediate impact for several teams. Last season included Donte Nicholson, Oklahoma, and Gabe Toomey, Kansas, to name a few. Here are the impact recruits for every team in the Big 12 North, and a developmental recruit who should figure into the mix in a year or two. This is part one of a two part series, and tomorrow will feature the recruiting classes of the Big 12 South.
Iowa State
Impact player: Terrance Highsmith athlete
Highsmith played quarterback and punter at Fort Scott Communitv
College and was a standout defensive back and basketball player in high school. While his talents as quarterback may not transfer well to
CYCLONES
Division I football, Highsmith is an excellent all around athlete who could find time at a number of positions on a team lacking in overall speed.
team lacking in Developmental prospects: Jason Scales, running back, Webster Patrick, running back
Scales and Patrick are two of the top players and part of a five-person running back class. Scales once accounted for a state-record nine touchdowns in a game, while Patrici is the big-play back with explosive speed.
While Stevie Hicks has emerged in the Cyclone backfield as the starting running back, the two freshmen are too talented to sit for long. Look for Scales and Patrick to get carries as Hicks' backup, and one of them should emerge as a 1,000-yard rusher in a couple of years.
Kansas
KU
Impact players: Theo Baines, cornerback, Charlton Keith, defensive end
Baines and Keith join a defense that allowed more than 30.5 points per game and was regularly torched by opposing quarterbacks. Keith was Freshman All-America at Minnesota and should help the team as a situational pass rusher. Baines started from day one in the spring and is a solid cover cornerback. Combined with Charles Gordón, Baines will help the secondary improve 200 percent from last season. Both players should make an immediate impact.
an immediate impact Developmental prospect: Mike Rivera, linebacker
Rivera has all of the athletic skills to compete immediately if the Jayhawks weren't so loaded at linebacker. At 6-3, 240 pounds with great speed and acceleration. Rivera is exactly what teams look for in a Big 12 middle linebacker.

Lone Star State key to success

When recruiting in the Big 12 Conference, the state of Texas is kev.
Packed with high-caliber players, teams from the Big 12 must fill in with players from Texas to compete. Last season, both Texas and Texas A&M had national top 10 recruiting classes without signing a single player from out of state.
The Jayhawks tried to do a little bit more than compete, signing half of their class from the Lone Star State.
then class from the lacada Kansas was able to land 11 players from Texas in this recruiting class, including players at every position on the football field except linebacker.
Marcus Herford, Cedar Hill, Texas, is a mobile quarterback and the number 25 dual threat quarterback in the nation according to Rivals.com. He has the speed, 4.43 seconds in the 40-yard dash, to play different positions, but Mark Mangino, Kansas football
coach, said that he would remain a quarterback for now.
Gary Green, San Antonio, was the number seven all-purpose running
back in the nation. The fastest and quickest player in the class, 4.4, Green should fit the mold of the smaller speed backs that fit so well into spread passing attacks.
Dexton Fields, Dallas, is a wide receiver with good

Herford
size, 6-foot-0, 180 pounds, and great speed. 4.4. Fields is a big-play waiting to happen and should team with last season's Texas wide receiver Moderick Johnson to give the Jayhawks a bright future.
Jim Reuber, Plano, will give the Jayhawk quarterbacks an athletic tight end to throw the ball to. He is a good size for a freshman at tight end, 6-4.

St. Louis track needs upgrades to compete
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Though track officials say the St. Louis-area Gateway International Raceway in Illinois has a shot a hosting a Nextel Cup race, insiders consider that shot a long one.
Over the years, the 1.25-mile oval, infield road course and quarter-mile drag strip has lured Championship Auto Racing Teams, the Indy Racing League, the Craftsman Truck series, the Busch series and National Hot Rod Association drag racing.
Matt Strelo, vice president and general manager of Gateway in Madison, Ill., points to the track's assets. The numbers show St. Louis fans watch the races on television and about 50,000 showed up for last Saturday's Busch race, which seems to indicate Gateway would be able to sell its existing 70,000 or so seats for a Nextel Cup race.
But the track has its detractors. Hampered by limited parking, outdated infrastructure and the construction of newer facilities, Gateway has lost the top open-wheel series and has been left with the trucks, NHRA and Busch series as its top acts.
Kenny Wallace, a veteran NASCAR driver, said he would like nothing better than to see the track host a Nextel Cup race. But the St. Louis native said the track would need a drastic makeover to draw serious attention.
"My opinion is that first, the track is too big," said Wallace, whose brothers Rusty and Mike also race in NASCAR. "They should cut it in half. Make it like Richmond (International Raceway in Virginia). You need more room and use all of that (the area north of the track) as parking. You can't expect to shuttle people in for a Nextel Cup race. They landlocked themselves in."
NCAA delivers 'notice of allegations' to Missouri
But Strelo said the track could use the shuttle service used for Busch Stadium and the Edward Jones Dome, just across the river in downtown St. Louis.
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The NCAA has asked Missouri to respond to an allegation of a single major rules violation in its basketball program, according to The Kansas City Star.
Chad Moller, spokesman for University of Missouri athletics, confirmed that the school received a formal NCAA "notice of allegations," summarizing findings of an investigation that has been under way for months.

In a television interview with HBO taped Feb. 21, Clemons replied "yes" when asked whether he had been paid by coaches at Missouri, renewing earlier allegations by both Clemons and his former girlfriend, Jessica Bunge. Clemons, who has moved to North Carolina, said he didn't know the total

Braves outfielder battles for respect
ATLANTA — Journeyman. It is the most dreaded of labels for a professional athlete.
Just ask Jesse Garcia, who showed up at spring training last year for the Atlanta Braves
Braves
Braves coming off a .300 season at Triple-A.
What did that earn him? For the first two weeks, he didn't even get in a game. He was relegated to the back fields with all the up-and- comers and down-and-outers.
"That was a low point," Garcia said. "Sometimes, you just have to sit back and wonder. What kind of player am I? Am I good enough or not?"
He stuck with it, played in the Triple-A All-Star game, and finally convinced a few people that he might be useful as a utility infielder in the majors.
At 30, Garcia made Atlanta's opening-day roster. With short-stop Rafael Furcal and second baseman Marcus Giles plagued by injuries, Garcia has become an integral part of the team.
As of Monday, Garcia was batting. 313 with one homer — his first in the big leagues since 1999 — and eight RBIs. He's been one
of the few bright spots for an aling team, which is two games under .500 as it bids for a 13th straight division title.
But Garcia knows his position is still tenuous. He's a journeyman, remember? Those guys can never get too comfortable.
Giles and Furcal could return to the lineup today for the start of a series at St. Louis. If that happens, Garcia will shuffle back to the bench, hopeful that his contributions strengthened his spot on the 25-man roster.
He homered last month against Florida — off World Series hero Josh Beckett, no less. Last week, Garcia helped turn a triple play against San Diego.
Over the weekend, he rallied the Braves to a victory over Houston — convincing the umpes he was grazed by a pitch in the eighth, leading to two runs, then driving in the tying run with a ninth-inning triple.
Garcia is only 5-foot-10 and 171 pounds — hardly the prototype player for this homer-crazy era. These days, everyone is expected to knock the ball over the fence.
With his experience, he isn't taking anything for granted.

Eckersley prepares for his induction into Hall of Fame
The Associated Press
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. When Dennis Eckersley walked into the Plaque Gallery at the Baseball Hall of Fame for the first time, he was as overwhelmed as any of his predecessors.
"Being with the plaques is where I felt it. That's when it hit home." Eckersley said yesterday as he toured the Hall of Fame in preparation for his July induction. "You get the feeling that it's not really true. That's what puts it in perspective, how awesome it feels."
Eckersley and former Milwaukee Brewers star Paul Molitor w
I O
Eckersley
bringing to 40 the number of players elected on the first ballot.
Eckersley saved an American League-record 324 games in stints with the Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox and Oakland Athletics. He also pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs of the National League before retiring in 1998 with a record of 197-171 and 390 saves in 1,071 games.
With his shaggy black hair and distinct mustache, Eckersley
relied on pinpoint control and was the most effective reliever in baseball from 1988-92, helping the Athletics win four division titles and one World Series. He also won the AL MVP and Cy Young Awards in 1992 with one of the greatest seasons by a reliever, going 7-1 with 51 saves and a 1.91 earned-run average.
Eckersley reached the big leagues in 1975 with Cleveland and pitched a no-hitter against the Angels in 1977. It wasn't until
10 years later — after stints with the Red Sox and Cubs — that he became a closer and his baseball life changed forever.
After completing a month of alcohol treatment in January 1987, Eckersley went to spring training with the Cubs, and they traded him to the Athletics during the first week of the season. It was there that manager Tony LaRussa and pitching coach Dave Duncan relegated him to the bullpen, expecting him to pitch only the
ninth inning if the Athletics were ahead.
"I was looking for a niche," said Eckersley, who posed for a photo in front of the plaque of his idol growing up, former San Francisco Giants right-hander Juan Marichal. "I just kind of fell into it."
In a big way. In that four-year stretch with Oakland, Eckersley saved 220 games, struck out 378 and walked only 38 batters. He also is the only pitcher with 100 saves and 100 complete games.

Derby win or not, he's still just Stew
BENSALEM, Pa. — In the heady aftermath of the Kentucky Derby, hours after guiding Smarty Jones to the winner's circle, Stewart Elliott spotted an acquaintance at a party.
The Associated Press
Jockey Stewart Elliott rides Smarty Jones as they approach the finish line to win the 103th Running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 1 in Louisville, Ky.
Weaving his way through well-
wishers, Elliott grasped Ralph
Riviezzo's hand and shook it. The
trainer began congratulating him
on a brilliant ride, but Elliott
changed the subject:
"I just wanted to thank you," the 39-year-old jockey told the longtime Philadelphia Park trainer.
Nearly 20 years ago, Riviezzo slipped Elliott a $100 tip after the rider brought home one of his horses. Elliott never forgot.
For what? Riviezzo asked.
"I couldn't believe it," Riviezzo recalled last week at Philly Park. "He's just won the Kentucky Derby, and he says to me: 'I was going through a little bit of a bad time, things were going slow, and I won a race for you. You handed me a hundred and told me to take out my girlfriend. That was real nice of you.'"
"This is what I do, I ride horses," Elliott said last week at a favorite restaurant near his home in Washington Crossing. Pa. "I work hard at it. It's all I know. I gave up my education for this. I've been through a lot, but I've been very fortunate."
Ask people about Elliott, and the same words keep coming up repeatedly: dedicated, loyal, modest, reserved. And, of course, talented.
That, says Riviezzo, is all you need to know about Elliott: "A class act all the way. What a mindset."
Elliott has won more than 3,200 races since dropping out of school after eighth grade to pursue a riding career. He started riding three years later at 16 and has climbed aboard thoroughbreds at nearly 30 racetracks in the Northeast — from Canada to New England, from New Jersey to Florida.
He's broken collar bones and
legs and punctured a lung. After a horse flipped at the start of a race at Calder in the 1980s, Elliott landed back-first on the rail. His weight ballooned during his recovery, and he quit riding. He exercised horses in several states for two years before making it back.
Elliott was born into a racing family. His father, Dennis, was a jockey for 23 years and now has a farm in Ocala, Fla. His mother, Myhill, is an assistant trainer at Woodbine in his native Toronto.
"You could see he had some talent even back then," Servis said. "We seemed to hit it off and remained friends even when he left for Boston and Florida and wherever."
After bouncing around several tracks with moderate success, Elliott returned to Philly Park about 10 years ago. He became
By 1981, Elliott was riding at Philly Park and in New Jersey. In fact, he was the leading rider at Atlantic City, beating out another apprentice, Shannon Sullivan, whose agent just happened to be trainer John Servis.
Servis' regular rider. He bought a house. He met Vannozzo about four years ago, and an August wedding is in the works.
He's been Philly Park's leading rider three times, and is well on his way to a fourth title.
Servis loves the way Elliot rides. He's poised, patient and powerful, especially when it's time to make a move in the stretch.
Trainer John Servis stuck by Elliott all the way through the Derby preps. Small-time riders, after all, are nearly always replaced by stars when the stakes are raised, especially when it involves America's greatest race. But Servis told Elliott all he needed to do was convince Smarty Jones' owners.
"Absolutely, there's no doubt in my mind," the trainer replied.
"It's the biggest race in our lives. There's going to be 20 horses, there's going to be a zillion people there. Can you tell me you're confident with Stew going into the race?" owner Roy Chapman asked Servis a few weeks before the Derby.
Elliott was grateful.
"I couldn't think of any reason that would have let me stay on the horse, other than John," Elliott said. "Trainers have owners to deal with and they don't want to go to the Derby with some jockey from Philly Park. But they took John's word. And that was very big of them."
While trying to enjoy his newfound fame, Elliott found out everything isn't a blanket of roses.
"I've been riding mostly at cheap tracks and on mostly cheaper horses," he said. "This will give me an opportunity to make some money for retirement."
He's moving this month to Monmouth Park, the track where his fiancee began work a few days ago as an exercise rider for Servis' brother.
Elliott, it seems, is not about to wander too far from his friends.
"We started off here in Philly, went to Arkansas and made it all the way to the Derby. This is not about business, and being a client. We're pals, and we did it together."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (May 11).
Today's Birthday (May 11)
The money should be flowing freely into your pockets this year. Trouble is, your pockets have a hole or two. You're generally thrifty, and maybe that's why you splurge when you can. It's OK to do so in moderation, but don't go overboard.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
You don't have to do everything all by yourself. You have friends who would love to help. They have expertise in areas you know nothing about, so take them up on their offer to assist you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6.
Clinch the deal and move on to the next project. You've got people to meet with, work with and play with, starting as soon as possible. But first, get top dollar.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a7.
It's a long shot, but with the help of a friend, you can make an important connection. Let your teammates know what you're retrying to accomplish. They might have the answer you've been seeking.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 6.
Friends may think you don't know
what you're doing, but don't despair. Continue to read the fine print, and trust somebody who's been there before. Negotiations should turn out well.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22). Today is a 6. When you turn on your natural charm, even the people who were opposed to your position will turn around. Make them laugh, make them smile, make them choose what you have in mind. Think of it as a game.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 6.
Others look to you for practical advice. That's because you're full of it. Give them a sample for free. They'll keep coming back for more until, eventually, they're completely dependent on you. It's called job security.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is an 8.
Since you don't make enough to fund this entire project on your own, you'll need a partner's help. Fortunately, there's a person nearby who's qualified to work with you, if somewhat crazy. This could be fun.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today in a 6.
Family traditions are important, and it's your duty to maintain them. If you don't have any traditions worth shouting about,invent some. You can be the family foundation. You're a natural choice.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 7.
A person you sometimes consider a goofball could provide the missing link. Discuss your plans with someone who's bold, brave, smart and willing to take a risk—and who's also a good mechanic.
By now you should have figured out what's the most important. You don't have to choose between love and money. Just keep your priorities straight. You can get by with love in times without money, but you can't get by without love in times with money.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is a 7.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 6.
You're a charmer when you're explaining atopic you feel passionate about. They may not accept your argument now, but they'll have to think about it. That's big.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
At least one of your ideas is a moneymaker, so take a lot of notes. Once you have the vision, the rest will come easily. You might even be able to get somebody else to build it.

IMPRESSION: First-year football players will have an impact on the Big 12 Conference
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
and should be a leader on the defense for years to come.
Kansas State
Impact players: Surrell Davis, defensive back, Jesse
C
Martinez. wide receiver
Davis has the versatility and speed to play either cornerback or safety for a unit that has lost a couple of starters. Kansas State signed four junior college defensive backs, and Davis' ability to play multiple positions should help him fight for playing time. Martinez was a mid-year signee to replace departing James Terry. Martinez, at 6-6, 214 pounds, has the speed to stretch defenses down the field. He also is an above average punter.
Developmental prospect: Nick Patton, quarterback, Parrish Fisher, running back
Patton combines speed (4.5 seconds in the 40-yard dash) with a strong arm and great instincts. A national top 100 recruit, Patton has all of the tools to run Kansas State's multifaceted offense. He will need a season or two to learn the offense and possibly get bigger, because he is 6-5, 190 pounds. Fisher should sit behind Darren Sproles this season, but he has All-America ability with good size, 200 pounds, and speed, 4.48.
TIGER
Impact player:
Jerrill Humphrey,
wide recei
the receiver/defensive back Missouri has built considerable depth at all positions, so it is
difficult to find a player who will make an immediate impact. While the wide receivers are fast, they lack a proven playmaker, and Humphrey could find increased playing time with his size, 6-4, 210, and speed combination. He had more than 2,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving in the last two seasons.
Developmental prospects:
Chase Patton, quarterback, Van
Alexander, linebacker
Patton was one of the country's top quarterback prospects, and was invited to Nike's Elite 11 camp. Only the top 11 quarterbacks are invited to the camp. Patton won't make an immediate impact, as he will sit behind Brad Smith, but the Tigers will have the luxury of grooming him slowly. Alexander was one of the fastest linebackers in the Big 12 region and shows a great nose for the ball. He could stand to put on some
weight, so it could be a couple of years before his impact is felt. Both Patton and Alexander attended Rock Bridge High School in Columbia, Mo.
Nebraska
N
Im pact player: Terrence Nunn, wide receiver, Jordan Adams, quarterback
Nunn has the ability to make plays downfield with great speed and could figure immediately into new Nebraska coach Bill Callahan's passing offense. Adams, a JUCO signee, has a live arm and should factor into the quarterback race if Joe Dailey slips up. Adams is the top passing quarterback on the Nebraska roster.
Developmental prospects:
Michael Keenan, linebacker,
Cortney Grixy, cornerback
Lydon Murtha, offensive line
Nebraska has three players who could figure prominently into Bill Callahan's attempt to revive the program. Keenan, who has 4.4 speed, makes plays all over the field and should help to give the Cornhuskers the playmaking ability they crave at the linebacker position. Grixby is an exceptional athlete who played quarterback in high school. His brother played for Nebraska, but his brother couldn't run like Cortney. 4.35. Grixby is undersized, 5-9,160,and will need to add weight to play in the Big 12. Adding weight shouldn't be a problem for huge Lydon Murtha, 6-8,325. He could be the next great Nebraska lineman. Both Murtha and Grixby were national top-100 recruits.

STATE: Kansas football recruiters bring in 11 players from Texas for next season
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
238, and has strong receiving skills. He is a sleeper in this class that could eventually make an impact.
Ryan Cantrell, Sugarland, has great speed for his size, 6-3, 275, and could develop at several of the offensive line positions. He has the speed to play defense, but will probably stay on the interior offensive line.
Jermail Ashley, Tyler defensive end, signed with the Jayhawks
through Tyler Community College. He is a pass rushing specialist who should see time on the field this season. Last season, despite fighting injuries, Ashley was able to amass 41 tackles, 14 quarterback hurries, four sacks and three forced fumbles.
James McClinton, Garland, was one of the top defensive tackles in Texas, and he could find a starting spot when he arrives in the fall. He has quick feet for a 6-1, 295-pound player, and his low center of gravity
makes him difficult to move against the run. He is an active player who should quickly help to upgrade the defensive tackle position.
Anthony Collins, Beaumont, is now a defensive end, but at 6-6, 250 pounds, he has the frame to put on the weight needed to play defensive tackle. Athletic for his size, Collins is also a standout basketball player.
At cornerback, Theo Baines, Tyler, attended the same school as Ashley. He started off the
spring season as one of the first team cornerbacks, and he shouldn't lose his job anytime soon. Baines has strong cover skills and is physical enough to make plays against bigger receivers.
Aqib Talib, Richardson, has the versatility to play both cornerback and safety. His speed would be a tremendous asset at the safety position, and with his height, 6-2, he could add weight to become a more physical player.
Kyle Tucker, Katy, is both a kicker and a punter and could wind up playing either position. He hit a 50-yard field goal as a kicker and hasn't missed an extra point since his freshman year of high school. He also placed first as a punter at the 2003 Lonestar Kicking Challenge.
If the Texas players develop as expected, Kansas could have a core group of players to build its next few teams around.

KANSAS: Jayhawks will need solid pitching to compete with the Golden Eagles
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"Anytime you get on a roll like this, your confidence is off the charts, and that's where they are at right now," Price said.
Once again the Jayhawks will have to master solid pitching as
including a perfect 14-0 in the Mid-Continent Conference. And Oral Roberts has won 12 of its last 13 games.
Oral Roberts, like Texas, have a team ERA below three. The Golden Eagle pitching staff is led by Sean Sorrow who is 8-1 with a 2.19 ERA.
"Their pitching obviously is their strength and they also play really good defense," Price said. "I was very impressed with the way they played defense and the way they executed."
Offensively, the Golden
Eagles are hitting .318 as a team, compared to the Jayhawks'. 317 batting average. Matt VanDerBosch is hitting .410 for Oral Roberts and has 41 RBI. Kansas will try to counter with senior first baseman Ryan Baty, who is in the midst of a 14-game hitting streak and has a team leading .361 batting average.
The Jayhawks will have a staff
day tomorrow on the mound, meaning that Price will use four or five pitchers for about two innings each.
This is a tune up for the team's most important two series of the year. The Jayhawks are 2-18 in conference play and six games behind 8th place Missouri with six conference games to play.
Kansas must win the remainder of its conference games in series against Missouri and Kansas State. But that alone isn't enough. In order for the Jayhawks to make the conference tournament, Missouri must lose its upcoming games to Oklahoma State.
Tonight's game begins at 6 p.m.at Hoglund Ballpark.

Lawrence city officials may have voted to enact a smoking ban in restaurants and bars starting July 1, but that doesn't mean the case is closed.
Chuck Magerl, owner of Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St., sent a blank petition form to Evan Ice, Lawrence-Douglas County counselor, yesterday. In five days, ice will either approve or reject the form for legal technicalities.

Marketing University difficult

the nation's top 25 colleges. Murgula was paid $195,000 a year to direct public relations, marketing and lobbying for the University. And she launched an ambitious effort to unify the University's message, to polish the school's image and to market it as a firstrate institution for higher learning.
Nearly three years ago, Chancellor Robert Hemenway hired Janet Murguia, a former White House aide to Bill Clinton, to help him reach his goal of making the University of Kansas one of the nation's top 25 research universities.
race institution of Munguia left the University in March to head the nation's largest Hispanic-American lobbying group, National Council of La Raza. And the University's undergraduate ranking has fallen to its lowest ranking. No. 44, in at least one major national assessment, the US News & World Report's annual college edition. The University still has no marketing plan and is paying an outside consultant $135,000 to help get one.
All of this has some people asking just what Murgula did and what has happened to Hemenway's ambitious plans.
Chuck Marsh, professor of public relations for journalism school, said he wondered where the results were.
"You need to plan before you act." Marsh said, "but it seems like we just keep planning."
University Relations officials insist the University is not just planning, but taking action.
Kevin Boatright, interim executive vice chancellor for University Relations, said the University is spending $225,000 on its integrated marketing plan, which it will fully unveil in the fall. The University Simpson Communications, of Williamsburg, Va., in September for $135,000, as part of that budget.

adolescents' develop learning methods. Deshler began his research at the University of Kansas in 1978 at what was then the Institute for Research in Learning Disabilities and is now the Center for Research on Learning.
Deshler was chosen to speak with Bush to further promote learning methods for adolescents. Previously, programs such as Reading First, a part of the No Child Left Behind Act, had targeted elementary-level readers.
What Deshler and partner Jean Schumaker have discovered in their 25-plus years of research is that reading problems are more of a problem for middle school students. A schism develops in approximately fourth grade, when students begin to move from learning to decode words to comprehending ideas, said Schumaker, assistant director of the center.
center.
In order to comprehend these ideas, SIM creators have created 15 strategies. One of these, the self-questioning strategy, teaches students to want to continue a book they are reading.
"With good readers, at the end of each chapter, they are left in suspension and they question and predict what will happen next. Our strategy teaches kids to ask questions and then read on and search for the answers," Schumaker said.
Another method, the visual imagery strategy, encourages readers to see the images as scenes and a movie, as upperlevel readers imagine it.
These techniques have been successfully implemented in thousands of schools in the U.S., Schumaker said. She said students had raised their reading abilities three to four grade levels, enabling them to keep up with their peers.
peers. SIM has programs to not only improve reading, but also about writing, how to study information, some math and improving learning strategies, Schumaker said.
Deshler and his colleagues gained attention after a school in Florida improved its reading scores using SIM. Deshler met with first lady Laura Bush in January as part of a roundtable discussion on the results.

KU Greens to emphasize individualism, impartiality
By Patrick Cady pcady@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Despite not having elected executive officers, the KU Green Party is eager to get started next semester.
If the members have their way, it will be a different type of campus political party next fall.
pasponi As the KU Young Democrats and the KU College Republicans scramble to support their candidates in the national and local elections, the KU Greens will remain impartial but active.
"By being impartial I think it gives us more credibility," said Sara Zafar, Wichita junior and co-coordinator of the group.
Zafar said the party chose to be neutral because there was no clear candidate for the Green Party.
The party stays this way despite former Green Party presidential nominee and current Independent Ralph Nader's bid for the presidency.
Dave Best, co-coordinator of the KU Green Party and Dallas senior, said that the party would be open to individual beliefs.
be open to individuals that "It'll be each person making their own decisions," Best said. "We aren't going to be about this guy or that guy."
The members of the party will continue their support of issues like anti-sweatshop legislation, free trade coffee and the living wage. Zafar said.
wage. "As far as projects we've talked about, it's going to be pretty intensive," Zafar said.
They will be on campus, along with the other political groups to help gain new voters.
"I think the little things like getting people registered to vote, and to actually vote is important no matter what," said Amanda Harrison, Lawrence senior and member of the group.
member of the group. The group will also help environmental causes on campus working with the KU Environs and keeping up with their group's goals of ecological wisdom that holds that humans are part of nature, Zafar said.
The Greens plan to continue their goals through the use of local activism and reaching out to motivate new students, Best said.
The members will try to promote a simple message:
"Just don't sit at home." Best said. "Go out and do something."

KU student gives Kerry maximum campaign contribution
New Web site makes campaign donations public
By Steve Vockrodt

Kansan staff writer
- If you're looking to make a contribution to any of the presidential candidates for the 2004 election, don't expect that other people won't find out about it.
One such individual in Lawrence is Brian Docking, a Wichita law student who made a $2,000 donation to Democratic candidate John Kerry.
Anyone interested in seeing who else in Lawrence made similar donations can go to a new Web site, www.fundrace.org, that tracks all reported contributions more than $200.
Users can type in an address or zip code to find all nearby contributions.
Docking didn't know his contribution would end up on the Internet, but didn't have a problem with it.
"It's important for people to know who is contributing to their campaign, and it says something about a candidate about who they take donations from," Docking said.
Docking made the contribution to Kerry for the primaries. His support for the U.S. senator from Massachusetts stems from his personal connection with Kerry. Docking met Kerry, a family friend, in 1998.
The meeting and his ideas were enough to get Docking to make the maximum donation from one person allowable under campaign finance laws.
Kelly Huff, spokeswoman for
"I can understand how people would have a problem with it. But we're dealing with a very public process. The more information you can find, the more informed voters are."

pation.
All candidates making more than $5,000 in total contribu-
accept. The donations are limited per election, meaning that an individual can make contributions in primary, general and run-off elections.
An individual therefore could potentially donate up to $6,000.
Huff said that contributions have been made public since the Federal Election Commission was formed in the late 1970s.
Docking said the potential privacy issues didn't apply to him.
"I can understand how people would have a problem with it," Docking said. "But we're dealing with a very public process. The more information you can find, the more informed voters are."
Docking's contribution as a student is a rare occurrence.
The Web site said that Docking was the only KU student living in the Lawrence area to make a $2,000 contribution to date.
campaign.
Susan Kemper, distinguished professor of psychology, sent $500 Howard Dean's way, while Alice Lieberman, associate professor of social welfare, donated $400 to Wesley Clark.
A few faculty members have made contributions to various candidates. Allan Pasco, professor of French and Italian, donated $275 to George Bush's campaign.
The Young Democrats as a group had not thought of making a contribution to the presidential race.
"Ever since I've been involved, we've never made a contribution," said Tom Keating, former
president of the KU Young Democrats.
Candidates have visited and asked for contributions, but the group doesn't actively raise contributions.
Keating, Hays junior, said he was impressed that a student would step forward and make a donation.
"I think it says a lot about students at KU in how involved they are in current events and politics." Keating said.
Contributors can make their payments on the Internet on individual party Web sites.
Kerry's campaign will need more donors like Docking if he is going to catch up with the Bush campaign.
campaign.
His campaign funds sit at just over $80 million, while Bush has generated over $180 million.

Campanile walk good tradition
May 23. 2004, marks the 80th anniversary of University of Kansas alumni walking down Campanile
OURVIEW
This year is the 80th anniversary of graduates taking the walk down the Campanile hill. Graduates: Keep tradition alive.
hill into Memorial Stadium to celebrate the end of their college careers.
Some will have finished in four years, others five, six or even seven years. Other students will have already
Even though graduates have been walking down the hill since 1924, the tradition didn't include walking through the Campanile until 1950. Legend has it if a student walks through the Campanile before the graduation ceremony he or she will not graduate.The uniqueness of the event,coupled with the fact it doesn't last more than an hour, should be enough to make every graduate want to walk.
finished last December, and some will walk and then start class over again this summer to fulfill those last few credits. But one thing all of those students will have in common is they will end their college careers in the same way. No matter what degree they earn or how long it will take them to achieve it, they will finish school in a manner unique to the University.
But there are going to be students who choose not to walk. Whether it's because they will be too hung over, don't have any family coming or just don't care, some students will choose to bypass the tradition.
The decision to not walk down the hill doesn't make any sense. First off, it's not that hard. You simply walk down a hill. You don't even necessarily have to enter Memorial Stadium for the Commencement. Some students will opt to walk down the hill and then proceed in the direction of their favorite local bar. But at least those students can say they walked. Even if they don't remember anything from class, they will remember walking down the hill in their caps and gowns, realizing they have accomplished something.
If a student chooses not to walk down the hill, it might not seem like a big deal at the time. But down the road when he or she is remembering time spent at the University, instead of the last memory being a unique tradition, it will be a memory of their last final exam.

Online dating dangerous legislative action necessary
Somehotguy. Hey, I live in Lawrence, want to chat?
KlGirl: Sure. What do you do?
KUGIM. Sure, where are you?
Somehotguy: I go to school at KU.
(Really, I'm 45 and married.)
The conversation continues.
KUGirl: You seem really nice. We should meet up for coffee.
Somehotguy: Sure. I'll be down at The Java Break in, like, 10 minutes. See you there.
This could be the beginning of an unhappy end. Online hookups are becoming more common but less safe.
Not only are there now limitless online dating services, but the number of messenger services and ways of meeting people on the Internet continue to increase. The online dating business has grown to a $313 million industry, according to Jupiter Research. The industry is expected to continue this growth, reaching an estimated $642 million in 2008. With such a booming market, there is an obvious need for safety and security measures in this market.
Recently, a friend of mine met a girl on the Internet. He does this frequently, so it wasn't a big deal. She said she was 18 and living with her parents while she worked. When he met her, he thought she looked young. But he believed her

COMMENTARY
months she had talked to my friend. The lies were shocking and scary.
Alea Smith opinion@kansan.com
This is not the only bad thing that could happen. Using an online dating service instead of a messenger service will probably not diminish the risk. There are countless online dating services, with new ones popping up each day. Very few do thorough background checks of applicants to ensure they are telling the truth. Some companies insist on users agreeing that they will be honest, but this honesty is never checked.
There is no national database for these companies to easily check the records of their applicants. If the company does do checks, it is through Google searches and public records that take more employees than many of the companies have. These are the same things that each individual could do about every prospective partner, but honestly most of us just do not have the time.
There are new online dating companies and partnerships that are attempting to make a difference in the security of online dating. A six-month old site called TrueBeginnings touts a partnership with Rapsheets.com, a criminal-record database. Herb Vest, founder of the company, told USA Today he did not want to introduce anyone to a felon, so the criteria for members is strict. After filling out a code of ethics and a detailed personality file, a potential member's name is checked for any felonies in the past decade. So far 3,000 people have been turned away from the service.
The efforts of TrueBeginnings are a start to regulate the sometimes dangerous industry but many other companies will not even begin to delve into at depth of background checks based on privacy issues and the lack of a national criminal database.
Obviously no one wants his or her 14-year-old daughter to be meeting a serial killer on the Internet, nor does a 23-year-old guy want to meet a 70-year-old woman who is the original black widow. A national criminal database will be the only thing that can help defend against these scams and lies. The belief that people are honest and good-at-heart has obviously not worked. Just ask my friend: He trusts no one now.

End of college lends sweet memories

Rod Stewart aside, truer words have never been spoken, and they seem to have taken on even greater meaning in the past few weeks as I reach the culmination of my stay here at the good old University of Kansas.
COMMENTARY
A. D. GILFORD
It's true; I am graduating in less than two weeks, even though the idea hasn't fully registered in my head yet. I'm just waiting for the night to come when I wake up crying in a cold sweat upon realizing the fact that I'm done with school for good and have to face the harsh reality of the real world.
This being said, I think it's only fair that I share, in this, my last column ever for the University Daily Kansan, some wisdom and I use this term loosely
Listen to this old-timer rambling on. Here's my point: College was the best four years of my life, even though it really felt like two weeks. At the risk of sounding nostalgic and sappy, I've learned so much about people and life in general while I was here.

Use fabric softener sheets as toilet paper and Febreze as a way to "wash" those jeans you've worn every day for a week.
G guys, at least once, go two weeks or more without shaving. Girls, don't.

Dance Dance Revolution finds its niche in Lawrence
By Paige Worthy editor@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
Wildly flashing red and white lights illuminate the room. Frantic, rhythmic feet stomp. Though the scene may resemble a night-club, it is actually just two students playing a fast-paced game of Dance Dance Revolution.
of Dance and Music of DANCE Josh Peters, Leavenworth sophomore, and August Baker, Leavenworth freshman, returned to reality and stepped down, dripping with sweat, from a four-song series on the machine. A small group of their friends tossed out occasional compliments on a spin or a particularly good technique as two new players got into position on the machine.
Dance Dance Revolution started in Japan in 1998 and quickly spread to arcades in the Asian-American communities of California. Over the last few years, the machines have started appearing in bowling alleys and arcades in the Midwest and have steadily gained popularity with video-game enthusiasts.
videogame A home version of the game has also been released for the Sony PlayStation console.

To play the game, players stand on a square pad with four arrow buttons and follow corresponding arrows that fly across the video screen. Players' scores depend on how well they keep in sync with the music's rhythm and how accurate their footfalls are on the dance pad. There are four difficulty levels: beginner, light, standard and heavy. Scores for each song range from AA — best — to complete failure. Better scores can unlock new songs and give players temporary bragging rights.
Chris Perdue, an assistant manager at EB Games, 3140 Iowa St., said the game was at its most popular in Lawrence when Konami released the newest version for Playstation 2 last October.
The Dance Dance Revolution Extreme game is tucked into a dark corner of a small arcade on the first floor of the Kansas Union. Since the machine was installed last semester around fall break, a dedicated group of players has formed. When Christina
Turk said the board was a "genius idea" because the players could provide information to coordinate their schedules and find times to meet in bigger groups. The players also exchange phone numbers, e-mail addresses, screen names and weblog addresses to keep in contact with each other.
Turk, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, met another player in the Union by luck, the two decided to hang a message board on the wall next to the machine to communicate with fellow dancers.
Each member in the group cites different reasons for playing the heart-pumping game, which they refer to as simply "DDR." Erin Darnell, Lawrence freshman, said playing the game was a good confidence-builder that had helped her lose weight and develop a better self-image. Alex Pimental, St. Paul, Minn., junior, used the machine in high school as between-season conditioning for cross-country and track.
"They call us geeks and nerds, but we're some of the most-in-shape geeks around," Pimentel said.
Peters said one of the group's challenges was finding new people to play the lightning-fast steps of the more difficult levels, which can seem intimidating. Turk said overzealous players in the Kansas City area had almost turned her away completely from playing the game when she started.
game when they "They're obsessed; they were arrogant and I was just the lowly beginner," Turk said. "Because of that I said I'd never be serious about the game. DDR is fun and that's what it should be."
Others in the group recalled similar experiences: seasoned "perfect attack" players who "make DDR their life."
Darnell said despite their skill levels and serious game faces, the players were nothing but a group of friends getting together. After playing with so-called elitists in Kansas City, she resolved to include every curious spectator who wanted to play. Turk said the game was more fun with more people a."Anyone can play," Turk said. "DDR is not for a set group of people."
On busy nights, the sounds of feet on the dance pads are overshadowed by the crashes of strikes and spares inside the Jaybow. But after the small group of players leaves the arcade, shy hopeful trickle in to give the game a try.
Another revolution
A different kind of dance revolution occurred May 1 at the Jackpot Saloon and Music Hall, 943 Massachusetts. A dance party has the same name as Konaml's interactive video game, but the two have no other connection.
Meredith Vacek, Lawrence senior, Justin Riley, Fayetteville, Ark., senior, and Mark Hurst, Philadelphia senior, all Lawrence DJs, first planned the event, a "multi-media electro dance party" that stemmed from their collective interest in music, dance and politics.
"Each person can interpret it the way they want," Vacek said. "It's fun to be mysterious."
The event has occurred once a semester for the past two years. Participants are encouraged to wear red and black "uniforms" for a reduced cover charge of $3.

"Sometimes when we close up at night, we grab some tokens and go play," the Rochester, N.Y., senior, said. "I can't even do the beginner level."
beginning Josh Peters is proof that even a spectator can become a dedicated dancer.
He loves the game just as much as the others and plays just as well; he said dancing has become a sort of addiction.
"I've actually had DDR withdrawal. You know you're bad when you close your eyes and see arrows," he said.

Turk said the board was a "genius idea" because the players could provide information to coordinate their schedules and find times to meet in bigger groups. The players also exchange phone numbers, e-mail addresses, screen names and weblog addresses to keep in contact with each other.
keep it consistent.
Each member in the group cites different reasons for playing the heart-pumping game, which they refer to as simply "DDR." Erin Darnell, Lawrence freshman, said playing the game was a good confidence-builder that helped her lose weight and develop a better self-image. Alex Pimentel, St. Paul, Minn., junior, used the machine in high school as between-season conditioning for cross-country and track.
"They call us geeks and nerds, but we're some of the most in-shape geeks around," Pimentel said.
Peters said one of the group's challenges was finding new people to play the lightning-fast steps of the more difficult levels, which can seem intimidating. Turk said overzealous players in the Kansas City area had almost turned her away completely from playing the game when she started.
"They're obsessed; they were arrogant and I was just the lowly beginner," Turk said. "Because of that I said I'd never be serious about the game. DDR is fun and that's what it should be."
Others in the group recalled similar experiences: seasoned "perfect attack" players who "make DDR their life."
"make DDR use me."
Darnell said despite their skill levels and serious game faces, the players were nothing but a group of friends getting together. After playing with so-called elitists in Kansas City, she resolved to include every curious spectator who wanted to play. Turk said the game was more fun with more people a."Anyone can play," Turk said. "DDR is not for a set group of people."
for a set group of people On busy nights, the sounds of feet on the dance pads are overshadowed by the crashes of strikes and spares inside the Jaybowl. But after the small group of players leaves the arcade, shy hopefuls trickle in to give the game a try.
Another revolution
A different kind of dance revolution occurred May 1 at the jackpot Saloon and Music Hall, 943 Massachusetts. A dance party has the same name as Konami's interactive video game, but the two have no other connection.
Meredith Vacek, Lawrence senior, Justin Riley, Fayetteville, Ark., senior, and Mark Hurst, Philadelphia senior, all Lawrence DJs, first planned the event, a "multi-media electro dance party" that stemmed from their collective interest in music, dance and politics.
"Each person can interpret it the way they want," Vacek said. "It's fun to be mysterious."
The event has occurred once a semester for the past two years. Participants are encouraged to wear red and black "uniforms" for a reduced cover charge of $3.
Peige Worthy
Marc D'Errico, Jaybowl employee, said he had new respect for the players after a few rounds on the machine.
"Sometimes when we close up at night, we grab some tokens and go play," the Rochester, N.Y., senior, said. "I can't even do the beginner level."
Josh Peters is proof that even a spectator can become a dedicated dancer.
He loves the game just as much as the others and plays just as well; he said dancing has become a sort of addiction.
"I've actually had DDR withdrawal. You know you're bad when you close your eyes and see arrows," he said.

American civilian beheaded in Iraq
Web site shows video of execution; Bush administration vows justice
The Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A video posted yesterday on an Al Qaida-linked Web site showed the beheading of an American civilian in Iraq and said the execution was carried out to avenge abuses of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison.
The American identified himself on the video as Nick Berg, a 26-year-old Philadelphia native. His body was found near a highway overpass in Baghdad on Saturday, the same day he was beheaded, a U.S. official said.
said.
The video bore the title "Abu Musab al-Zarqawi shown slaughtering an American." It "was unclear whether al-Zarqawi — an associate of Osama bin Laden believed behind the wave of suicide bombings in Iraq — was shown in the video or simply ordered the execution. Al-Zarqawi also is sought in the assassination of a U.S. diplomat
in Jordan in 2002. The Bush administration said those who beheaded Berg would be hunted down and brought to justice.

Berg was a small-business owner who went to Iraq as an independent businessman to help rebuild communication antennas, his family said yesterday.

civilians.
In the video, five men wearing headscarves and black ski masks stood over a bound man in an orange jumpsuit similar to prison uniforms.
"My name is Nick Berg. My father's name is Michael. My mother's name is Suzanne," the man, seated in a chair, said on the video. "I have a brother and sister, David and Sara. I live in ... Philadelphia."
The video then cut to Berg sitting on the floor, his hands tied behind his back, as a statement was read in Arabic. Berg sat still during the statement, facing the camera, occasionally raising his shoulders.
After the statement was finished, the men pulled Berg on his side and thrust a large knife to his neck. A scream sounded as the men cut his head off, repeatedly shouting "Allahu Akbar!" — or "God is great."
In the video of Berg, the executioners said they had tried to trade him for prisoners at Abu Ghraib.
Seven soldiers from the 372nd Military Police Company face charges in the mistreatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib in a scandal that has sparked worldwide outrage.
They then held the head ou before the camera.
In other developments yesterday.
The head of Iraq's war-crimes tribunal said the United States has pledged to hand over Saddam Hussein and about 100 other suspects to Iraqi authorities before July 1 if Iraq is ready to take them into custody. U.S. officials denied any decision had been reached.
Iraqi leaders in Najaf said radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has agreed to end his violent standoff with the U.S.-led coalition if the Americans defer murder charges against him until a permanent constitution is adopted next year and an elected government takes office.
A Russian energy company worker was confirmed dead and two others abducted Monday when gunmen fired on their car south of Baghdad, Russian officials said.
A homemade bomb exploded in a crowded market in the northern city of Kirkuk, killing four fraqs and wounding 23, a security official said.
K-State's newspaper adviser removed
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN The adviser to Kansas State University's student newspaper, targeted for removal by a group of black students after the paper failed to cover the Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government, has been removed and reassigned to other teaching duties.
other teaching duties.
Ron Johnson said Monday that a university administrator told him he would no longer serve as director of student publications and adviser to the Kansas State Collegegian after May 24. Journalism school director Todd Simon confirmed Johnson's removal, but wouldn't comment further.
The action could spark a lawsuit from students concerned that Johnson's removal is an attempt by the university to control the news
paper's content, said Mark Goodman, executive director of the Arlington, Va.-based Student Press Law Center. The center is a nonprofit group that provides legal assistance to student journalists.
"The question here is motivation," Goodman said. "If the content of the publication was the motivation, their actions are unconstitutional and the university deserves to be sued for what it's done."
it's done.
Johnson has been the newspaper's adviser since 1989, Sarah Rice, the paper's managing editor, said Johnson was being punished for his students' mistakes.
Last month, the Black Student Union complained about the newspaper's failure to cover the student government event, which drew about 1,000 participants. The group said Johnson had not done
enough to foster cultural awareness among newspaper staffers.
Natalie Rolfe, the union's president, declined to comment about Johnson's removal.
Stephen White, dean of arts and sciences, met Monday morning with Johnson. He also declined to comment.
Simon wouldn't discuss why he made the recommendation that Johnson be removed from his post. He said it was against university policy to discuss publicly an instructor's evaluation.
an instructor's audience
Edie Hall, the newspaper's news editor told him: "We're just not going to go away and be quiet."
After the meeting, students marched to White's office in Eisenhower Hall. White met with members of the board, some of whom said they weren't consulted about the decision to remove Johnson from his post.

A few of the angry students then went to the provost's office to set up a meeting. The decision to remove Johnson as the paper's adviser still must be formally approved by the provost.

PETITION: Signatures needed
the public will be able to vote on the smoking ban issue.
Boulter said he expected to collect the needed signatures within two weeks of circulating the petition. If this happens, the public could vote on the issue in either August or November.
A month ago, before the commission voted on the issue, Boulter sent out informal petitions in his coffee shop and bar. These informal petitions were not used to turn the smoking ban issue to a public vote, Boulter said. They were used to show how many people stood against a ban.
In the first four or five days, he had gathered about 750 signatures, he said. He collected about 2,000 before the commission meeting.
"But four people have told 2,000 people that they don't have the right to make their own

choices." Boulter said.
Even if the issue does come to a public vote, some bar workers say that the ban will remain intact.
Judy Keller, member of Clean Air Lawrence, a group dedicated to ending smoking in workplaces, also said she thought the ban would remain even if the public voted on it.
But Mageri said he thought that people could reverse the smoking ban.
"If it wasn't that it could see favorable action, I don't think people would go through getting signatures and getting a petition," Magerl said.

because she wants to be strong for them. Harrison said when someone was injured, she has always been the type to do something about it.
FACES: Harrison loves nursing
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
When Orrick fell and scraped her knee a few weeks ago, Harrison insisted on cleaning it and wrapping it for her.
Dana Steele has known Harrison for six years and calls her an adopted little sister. Steele, Shawnee resident, met Harrison through her job at a beauty salon, where Harrison also used to work. She said Harrison always talked about being a nurse.
Steele calls Harrison a compassionate and loving person. When Steele was pregnant with her second daughter, Harrison was always there for her even though she had moved to Lawrence for school.
Harrison went with Steele to
almost every doctor's visit. When Steele had body aches from the pregnancy, Harrison would rub her back and legs. She called her all the time to make sure she was doing OK.
"She was here in a heartbeat if I needed her even though she was 45 minutes away." Steele said.
Harrison said nursing and taking care of people was worth every minute of her time. Ideally she wants to work in a large to mid-sized metropolitan area hospital like Kansas City.
Wherever she ends up, Harrison is prepared for anything and takes care of anyone. She has no hesitation in dealing with anything the job asks of her, even cleaning a few bedpans.
"Cleaning bedpans are the least of my problems," she said. "The worst of my problems is if they start throwing them at me."

MARKETING: Future of University's success relies on image
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Hemenway said the importance of having a marketing plan was to reach his goal of becoming a top 25 research university and to spread the message that the University was an institution to get a quality education at low cost.
Universities have become more competitive to attract students and money, Hemenway said."So there's a greater emphasis on how we present ourselves to the public."
"I never felt that she brought

David Guth, who worked for the governor of North Carolina for seven years in public relations before teaching the subject in the School of Journalism, said Murgia was in her element when lobbying, but was unprepared for the marketing aspect of her job.
the leadership skills and creativity to a position with such high responsibility and compensation." Guth said.
Those who defend Murguia said she took positive steps toward selling the University to lawmakers in Topeka, to prospective students—especially minorities and those in Western Kansas—and to the rest of the country.
University Relations officials said Murguia was charged with a difficult task. Her greatest accomplishment, they said, was organizing the different divisions of the University, from the University of Kansas Medical Center to the Lawrence campus, and getting them to speak with one voice.
It's not easy to assemble an integrated marketing plan, said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations. Bretz said it was an "evolutionary" process to fix the University's fragmented identity.
"We've never been able to get our act together," Brits said.
Marketing is the future of the University's success, Murguia said in a recent phone interview. But she also said that a marketing
plan was a tough sell in academia, and that it was difficult to change the culture at a university.
"In the past it's been a challenge," she said. "I don't think we've had a commitment from the leadership in the administration."
Guth also questioned the administration's ability to articulate a vision for the University.
"Research we have," Guth said. "What we have lacked is the willingness to accept the negative outcomes of that research and create a strategic plan that addresses those problems."
Hemenway said he would not fill Murguia's position until the University had its marketing plan in place — the start of the fall semester. He also said the University would always need to work to market itself.
"I would never say we've been successful in telling our story," Hemenway said. "What I would say is that we try to tell our story every day, and we're constantly looking for ways to improve telling our story."

Projects set for summer
By Joe Bant jbant@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Marchiony said the department had several priorities it would be focusing on over the summer. The following is a list of what it hopes to accomplish before fall.
Summer may be just around the corner, but the Athletics Department isn't planning on taking any breaks.
"While you're partying on the beach, we'll be holding down the fort trying to make things better," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs.
Ticket Plan
Earlier in the academic year, the department decided to change the way seating was done for men's basketball games at Allen Fieldhouse.
Keeled games. Specifically, with the help of an advisory committee, it drafted and passed a proposal to distribute seating according to a points system.
according to a point system. Season ticket holders can acquire points in a variety of ways, including graduating from the University, belonging to the Alumni Association and donating money to the Williams Fund. Donating money to athletics is the primary way to earn points.
Ticket holders can use their points to get better seats. The change does not affect student seating or faculty and staff seating.
and team batting. The plan, approved by Chancellor Robert Hemenway, will go into effect during the next basketball season
Over the summer, Marchiony said the department would focus on meeting with all ticket holders who had questions about the plan and it how it would affect their seating.
"We want to leave the summer with as many people as possible having their questions answered." Marchiony said.

'Hawks heartbreak at Hoglund Ballpark
Kansas falls short against Oral Roberts

For the tenth time this season, the Kansas baseball team lost by one run as the Jayhawks fell to the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles 4-3 yesterday at Hoglund Ballpark.

"I've never been involved with as many one run losses in my entire career as we have this year," coach Ritch Price said. "I can't even put it in words how hard it is to go through."

Sophomore Don Czyz relieved junior starter Clint Schambach to get the Jayhawks out of the jam. Schambach went 6.2 innings and allowed three runs on six hits.
Freshman Ryotaro Hayakawa replaced Czyz in the eighth inning after Czyz gave up a double and was able to pitch the 'Hawks out of a jam. Hayakawa pitched the remainder of the game and allowed one run on two hits.

Baseball stand-out receives honors

Senior first baseman Ryan Baty received the University of Kansas' Senior Male Scholar Athlete of the Year award for his performance in the classroom and on the field.
Baty received his award Monday at the 2004 Senior and Scholar Athlete Banquet.
Barquet. Managing time to exceed academically and athletically is not a simple task for student athletes. The baseball team often arrives back in Lawrence Sunday night at 1 or 2 in the morning after a road trip.
"The biggest challenge to being a student and an athlete is managing time," Baty said. "It's definitely a sacrifice of leisure activities."
Baty, a communications studies major, was named to the Academic All-Big 12 Conference first team as a junior and the second team as a sophomore. Both honors require a grade point average larger than 3.0.
The Wichita native's impressive academic record is coupled with a long list of accomplishments on the baseball field.
Baty was forced to take a medical redshirt his sophomore season because of a shoulder injury. The next season, as a redshirt sophomore in 2002, Baty had his breakout year. Leading the team in seven offensive categories, Baty was an All-Big 12 honorable mention selection.
2003 was an even more impressive year for Baty. Along with receiving NCBWA Hitter of the Week and Big 12 player of the week honors, he shattered the record for most doubles (23) and hits (97) in a season. His statistics during his junior campaign were good enough to earn second team All-Big 12 honors.
Baty has earned a third team Preseason All-American honors and has solid numbers so far this season. Through 56 games, Baty leads the team with a .361 batting average. He has already broken the career doubles mark in 2004, and is just nine hits shy of the all-time career hits record of 274 held by Darryl Monroe.
214 held by Barry Kane Baty said he worked hard academically so that he would have a career to fall back on, but his dream has always been to play Major League Baseball.

New recruits will tackle responsibility
Big 12 South snatches up several top-rated prospects; incoming players are looking to make an impact
By Kevin Flaherty kflaherty@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Every season, recruits step into the Big 12 Conference and make an immediate impact for several teams. Here are the impact recruits for every team in the Big 12 South, and a developmental recruit who should figure into the mix in a year or two. This is part two of a two-part series.
King led the NJCAA in passing yards and total offense on his way to being named a
Baylor
Impact player:Dane King, quarterback
BU
second-team NJCAA All-American. Baylor coach Guy Morrisl likes to throw the ball, so King could make a large splash in his first season. King also has
the ability to become a dual-threat player at the Division I level.
He enrolled at Baylor in the spring to get a jump on learning the offense.
Developmental prospect: Trey
Payne, wide receiver
On most other teams, Payne might need a redshirt season to bulk up. But the 5-foot-9-inch 160-pound receiver has speed to burn and might be thrust into the lineup before he's ready. In a few seasons, he could be the shifty receiver Morriss covets in his wide-open game plans.
Oklahoma
Impact players:
Adrian Peterson, running back, Chijoke Onyengecha, cornerback
SOONERS
Peterson was the SUMMER top running back in the nation, and many considered him the country's best player after last season. He rushed for 2,960 yards and 32 touchdowns while averaging 11.7 yards per carry. He has good size, 6-2 210, and outstanding speed, 4.4 seconds in the 40-yard dash, and should jump right in and star in an offense that spreads the field well. He could be second-team All-Big 12 as a freshman, he's so good. Onyengeecha was the top on the ranked junior college player. Onyengeecha has the size, 6-2 205, to stay with taller receivers and the speed, 4.3, to hang with the quicker ones. He should be one of the better Big 12 cornerbacks right off the bat.
Developmental prospects: Rhett Bomar, quarterback, Marcus Walker, cornerback
Bomar was the nation's top-rated quarterback prospect. He has a big arm and great mobility, 4.57, and should take the reins of this team in the next couple of years. Walker was arguably high school football's best cover cornerback and just needs time to develop.
Both players have stardom written all over them.
Oklahoma State
Impact players:

defensive end

unique beyond all and speed for a high school defensive end. But while Peterson has all of the physical tools to succeed — including frightening strength — it was his motor and work ethic that earned raves from recruiters. He worked with a personal trainer all through high school to get himself in the best shape possible. On a defense looking for defensive line help, he should fit right in. Peterson graduated in December and went through spring drills with the Cowboys.
Reid also graduated early to take part in spring practice. He, along with
Oklahoma's Bomar, attended the Elite 11 camp for the top 11 quarterback prospects in the nation. He is second to Donovan Woods on the depth chart, and will probably stay there for the year. He has elite speed, 4.46, and an accurate passing arm. He accounted for 38 touchdowns, 22 passing and 16 rushing, as a senior. Elliot is an athlete who has the explosiveness to play at multiple positions. If he plays on offense, teams will have to move their schemes to try and slow him down because he can make big plays in a hurry.

SOFTBALL
Season depends on team's performance in tournament
Kansas softball will enter the Big 12 Tournament if it wins a play-in game against the Texas Tech Lady Raiders.
Today's game is scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m. in Oklahoma City, Okla. With a victory over the Raiders, the Jayhawks will advance to the double-elimination portion of the tournament and face Texas A&M.
If Kansas falls to Texas Tech, its season will be over. The two teams last met on by scores of 2-1 and 4-1. The Raiders have the worst record in the Big 12.
Going into the tournament they are 22-35, including just 2-16 in the Big 12. Kansas, on the other hand, owns a 31-26-1 record, and has a 7-11 conference mark.
Texas A&M, though, goes into tournament play with the second best record in the conference. The Aggies are 31-18 and 13-3 in the conference.
Kansas lost both of its regular season games against A&M, 8-0 and 7-3 in College Station, Texas.
If Kansas advances, its game against A&M would take place immediately following its game against Texas Tech.
Both of today's games will be available via LiveStats, which are accessible from www.kuathletics.com. Lawrence residents can also tune into ESPN Radio at 1320 AM.

Two may go down in Mizzou scandal
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri coach Quin Snyder apologized yesterday for his mistakes as the NCAA alleged scores of rule violations by the Missouri basketball program, including a cash payment from an assistant coach to troubled former player Ricky Clemons.
An athletic department source told The Associated Press that one of Snyder's assistants would resign, and a newspaper reported a second would follow.
The NCAA said Missouri's basketball program didn't "adequately monitor" for rules compliance. And it said a member of the athletic staff, whose named was redacted by the school from NCAA documents provided to reporters, "failed at all times to maintain an environment" of compliance with rules from 1999 through last year.
The NCAA's list of formal allegations didn't include a charge known as "lack of institutional control," which can yield severe punishment.
In its 19-page list of allegations, the NCAA laid out 42 examples of violations and some of those covered multiple alleged offenses.
For example, the NCAA alleged that
10 coaches affiliated with the Amateur Athletic Union or other teams were purchased meals on more than 30 occasions in violation of the rules.
It said a department staffer who paid for the meals "intentionally misrepresented" the names of those being treated when submitting receipts for reimbursement.
The NCAA' allegations included rule violations between 1999-03 for providing meals and transportation for current athletes and recruits and impermissible contacts with recruits.
contactss with recent sources familiar with the unreducted NCAA report told The Associated Press that Snyder's top assistant, Tony Harvey, was accused of providing the $250 to Clemons, who played a single season as point guard before being booted from the team last summer amid personal legal troubles.
Harvey has denied giving players money. Snyder has previously denied that any coaches gave players cash. But yesterday, Snyder said he couldn't comment because of confidentiality of the NCAA investigation.

PROJECTS: Improved Fieldhouse not a possibility for fall return
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
At the end of this month, the department will send all season ticket holders a letter explaining the points system and informing them what their seating would have been this past season, had the system been in effect.
Ticket holders have until the end of the summer, Aug. 31, to increase their points for next season.
Renovations
Planning for Allen Fieldhouse renovations is in full swing and will continue throughout the summer.
The department scheduled the renovations after receiving a $12 million donation from the Ward family of Russell Stover Candies and two anonymous donors. The money will also help create a
Kansas Hall of Athletics, which will stand adjacent to the Fieldhouse.

it needed to be done.
"We have a pretty good laundry list of work that needs to be done," Modig said. "We just have to go through and prioritize."
Modig said potential improvements could be made on bathrooms, windows and in a variety of other areas.
He said the University would likely start accepting construction bids between January and March of next year.
Promotions
The other significant summer priority of the department is promoting fall sports, Marchiony said, particularly football and volleyball.
He said the marketing push to sell football season tickets had already begun and would continue full force this summer. The campaign consists of radio and television advertisements, outdoor advertising and direct mail
"Our goal is that you won't be
able to make a left turn or hit a button on the radio without seeing or hearing something about KU football," Marchiony said.
Marchiony said everything combined to give the department a full slate of work for the summer.
Marchiony said the department would also work on strategies for selling season tickets for women's basketball. In addition, he said, game schedules for the men's and women's basketball teams still needed to be finalized.
In terms of volleyball, Marchiony said the emphasis would also be on marketing season tickets. Season tickets haven't been available for volleyball in the past.
"We're not going to be resting much," he said.

RECRUITS: Strong players on Texas teams could strengthen lineup
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1P
While Tatum eventually projects as a star free safety, he has the speed and size to play cornerback immediately and should force his way into the lineup. If he adds 30 pounds, he might develop into one of the top safeties in the Big 12. Nathan Jones is a polished wide receiver who is ready to hop into the starting lineup. Texas signed several pass-catchers in this class, but Jones is the most ready. Okam should bid for playing time at defensive tackle right now. Decent sized defensive tackles have a history of playing early at Texas, and Okam, 6-5 300, certainly fits the bill.
Developmental prospects:
Cedrick Dockery, offensive line,
Andrew Kelson, safety
Kelson could combine with Tatum in a couple of years to give the Longhorns a scary safety combination. Kelson was one of the most athletic safeties in the

nation, but does not have the versatility yet to play cornerback, so he will have to wait until the safety position is ready to be his. Kelson already has ideal size, 6-3 210 for a safety, and with 10-20 added pounds, he could be a dominant strong safety.

Mobley,

receiver,

Terrence Brown, linebacker
Mobley has good size 6-2, and speed, and caught his passes from Kansas quarterback Jason Swanson in JUCO. The Aggies must replace several wide receivers, which opens the door for playing time. Brown is the best of the three top-notch JUCO linebackers Texas A&M signed. He should plug immediately into a defense that struggled last season.
Developmental prospects:
Stephen McGee, quarterback,
William Morrisey, defensive tackle
Both players are top 100
national prospects. McGee gives the Aggies a run-pass threat at quarterback that should help coach Dennis Franchione open up his offense. McGee has a good frame for a quarterback at 6-3 210, and his 4.65 speed makes him dangerous in the open field. Morrisey is not as tall as a prototypical defensive tackle at just 61, and he weighs just 279 pounds. But Morrisey has cat-like quickness off the ball combined with great speed, 4.88, that makes him a disruptive force all over a field. You can knock his size, but definitely not his effectiveness.

Sylvester Brinkley, linebacker
Johnson was the top JUCO quarterback in the nation, and his speed gives Texas Tech a running threat at quarterback that they haven't had since Mike Leach took over as football coach. He was fighting for the starting position through the
spring, and going into the fall, it's still anybody's job to win. Brinkley has ideal size, 6-4 235 and speed, 4.6, for a Big 12 linebacker. He is one part of this stellar class that should help to improve Tech's horrid defense.
Developmental prospects:
Marcus Smith, linebacker, Darcel McBath, cornerback
Smith was the top linebacker in the state of Texas, a true honor. He has excellent strength and the frame to be an excellent middle linebacker. The only two knocks on him are his height which is listed at a generous 6-2 (He's probably closer to 6-0) and his injury history. When healthy, he is a great playmaker. McBath turned down several big time football programs to come to Tech. His stock was rising over his whole senior season, and McBath has a decent size and speed combination which should help Tech's abysmal pass defense. Both of these prospects should team with the junior college players next year at the latest to make Tech's defense up to par.

Lakers' Bryant pleads not guilty
The Associated Press
EAGLE, Colo. — Nearly 11 months after his arrest, NBA star Kobe Bryant pleaded not guilty yesterday to a rape charge that could land him in prison for life.
i. e. Standing before District Judge Terry Ruckklegle as the parents of the accuser looked on, Bryant said four words during a brief arraignment carried live on national cable television.
"Yes sir," he said, bending slightly to speak into a microphone when asked if he understood the charge and potential penalty. Asked for his plea, he answered "not guilty" and sat down shortly afterward.
The judge adjourned the hearing moments later, saying he expected to set a trial date during a May 27 hearing. Bryant left, with plenty of time to fly back to Los Angeles for last night's playoff game against San Antonio.
The parents of the 19-year-old accuser watched the arraignment from the gallery, sitting about 20 feet from the Los Angeles Lakers star. As they walked out of the courtroom, they smiled and nodded at acquaintances.

Chiefs, Royals approve new lease extensions
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals have approved extensions on the leases of their stadiums in the Truman Sports Complex, pending approval of a proposed bi-state tax.
the leases on Arrowhead and Kauffman stadiums, which now run through 2015, would be extended to 2030.
Efforts are under way to get the quarter-cent sales tax pro

The tax would raise an estimated $1.4 billion, which would be used for renovations as well as for fine arts projects.
The lease extensions need to be approved by the Jackson County Legislature, which plans hearings on them next week, as well as the Jackson County Sports Complex Authority, the NFL and MLB.

Actress in 'Sopranos' joins cast of 'Friends' spinoff
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — As every fan of The Sopranos knows, Adriana LaCerva is living on borrowed time.
A while back the sexy mafia moll made the wrong friend—an undercover FBI agent—and has since been forced to squeal to the feds about Tony Soprano's gangster family.
ster family
Since then the hit drama — in its fifth season on HBO, Sundays at 8 p.m., has found Adriana racked by conflict and guilt.
"What am I doing?" she moaned to her FBI contact. "I'm being ripped apart here, snitching on people."
or people.
Worse: She knows if Tony discovers she's ratting him out, who cares if she's the fiancée of his beloved nephew, Christopher?
Adriana's going to disappear real quick.
But even in the best-case scenario, Ade, along with the series, will be history after next season's slate of 10 episodes — whenever
that is, given the show's propensity for long breaks.
In March this fact was bumming out Drea de Matteo, the actress who has made an art form out of whining "Chris-tuh-fuhr." She peered beyond The Sopranos and fretted, "There's not really much money for me to make in the film business."
At that interview, she looked very unlike Adriana in jeans and buggy sweater, and — in stark contrast to Adriana's flashy manicures — with nails free of polish and clipped short as a child's.
and applauded.
"The kind of projects I like," de Matteo went on, "they're not moneymaking projects."
Maybe another TV series?
"I've been on the best television show, so to go anywhere beneath that wouldn't feel right to do right now."
Even if it were a high-profile sitcom? "Not yet," she declared.
How things change. Next week, when NBC unveils its fall schedule for advertisers at its gala "upfront" presentation, de Matteo will be on hand as a late addition to the cast of perhaps next season's highest-profile new sit-com; the Friends spinoff Joey. She'll be on display right beside its star, former Friend Matt LeBlanc.
After the media siege triggered by last week's Friends finale, many viewers had no trouble relating to the California construction worker whose brain was pierced by nails fired from a high-powered nail gun.
Fortunately, he survived. So shall we. And, who knows, Joey
shall we. And, who is the— which inherits the Thursday-at-7 time slot of its celebrated forebear — could out to be lots of fun.
Anyway, de Matteo is psyched about her new gig, as she made clear during a follow-up phone call last week.

"It was very, very unexpected," she said. "I never even had the chance to think about it."
She will co-star as the older sister of dimwitted would-be actor Joey Tribbiani, who, post-Friends.
"I play a hairdresser — or should I say 'hah-uhr-dressuh'?" de Matteo laughed. "My character is very similar in look and accent to Adriana, but sharper and tougher."

— and moves in with her.
Despite the apparently comfortable fit, "at first, I didn't think I was the right choice for the part," she says. "For one thing, I had never done a sitcom."
A New York native with a film degree from NYU, the 32-year-old de Matteo had found scattered work in theater and films when she landed a one-day, oneline role in an early Sopranos segment as a passing fancy of Christopher's. But Christopher proved smitten with Adriana. So were the producers. Adriana quickly blossomed into a key character.
"Adriana was the innocent," says de Matteo, and, at least until the feds got their claws into her, she was the sole character who could have walked away from the
crime life. "She is the only one who fell into the trap. The rest were already there."
were already there.
Blinded by her misplaced love for Christopher and her lack of self-respect, says de Matteo,
"Adriana ended up being the most vulnerable character on the show. People think she's tough, but it's just the accent and the hair and the makeup that makes her seem tough. She's a scaredy-cat, afraid of everything."
To hear de Matteo talk, Gina Tribbiana won't be afraid of much least of all, swapping zingers with her little brother.
But during her initiation as Gina for the Joey pilot, de Matteo confesses she was nervous.
connect these skills.
Doing sitcoms, she found, is "really, really, really hard. They're always changing the lines. You have to learn how to hold for laughs during the performance. It takes a high concentration all the time.
"But Matt's a great guy," she adds, "and I couldn't have asked for a better actor to fall into the hands of, after working with
Michael Imperioli," who, playing hothead Christopher, "is so safe for me. He's a warm soul."
When de Matteo's casting on Joey was announced a few weeks ago, there were many knowing nods from Sopranos fans. Her new role seemed proof positive: Adriana's number must be up.
Not necessarily, says de Matteo: First-season production of Joey will have wrapped when The Sopranos resumes filming next March.
Calling her new series "a natural transition," she says, "I get to walk right into another already existing family situation: the old Friends crew. And we're on the Friends stage. I have Jennifer Aniston's dressing room!"
A couple of months ago, de Matteo was anxious about being typecast as Adriana forever. But "I love playing that sort of character." she now insists.
"Besides, doing a sitcom is a huhuuuuuge challenge," she pronounces with all due emphasis. "And I'm up for that challenge."

To offer this benefit to illegal aliens is discriminatory under federal law unless all enrolled U.S. citizens are offered resident tuition rates, including all out-of-state American students.
Students who oppose illegal immigration and unfair discrimination against Americans can join a lawsuit being prepared to challenge this unlawful decision and protect your rights.
The Governor of Kansas is about to sign legislation to offer resident tuition worth more than $7,200 a year to certain undocumented aliens.
ARE YOU AN AMERICAN STUDENT PAYING NON-RESIDENT TUITION?
You can help. If you are a United States citizen who will enroll as a full-time non-resident student at any Kansas public university in 2004-2005, please leave a message at (877) 627-3247 or email kansastuition@yahoo.com to receive full information.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (May 12).
Your friends are trying to teach you something that you'd be wise to learn. You may think that you already know it, but practicing with a team helps. If you really apply yourself this year, you can advance to a whole new level. The exam comes when you realize the lessons are costing too much.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 5. What things are really worth fighting for? Which things can be left behind? You're approaching a moment of truth. Reassess your priorities in light of new developments.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is an 8. Imaginative friends need you to keep them from getting too crazy. You add a touch of reality to their otherwise outrageous schemes, and they give you lots of new things to think about. It's a fair trade.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 6. There will be a test.
Do you have all the facts and the figures? If not, better hustle. This might be the only warning you'll get. Be prepared.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is an 8. The urge to travel will strike soon, but the outcome doesn't look good. There are indications that if you run off now, it would strain a relationship. Why don't you wait and go together? That'll be much more fun.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22)
Virgo (Aug.23-Sept.22)
Today is a 6. After you've decided what to do next, you need to determine the costs. Don't fall for the most expensive price. You can come up with a thrifty alternative and win everybody's admiration.
Today is a 7. It's almost time for another meeting to discuss what you've done so far. If you're worried that you won't be ready, maybe it's time you asked for help. If you let people in on what you're doing, they become part of your team.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 27)
Today is a 7. The planning phase should almost be over by now. Get your materials and start making changes. The next few days will be perfect for innovation.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7. Love isn't always about hearts and flowers. Sometimes it's about being there for a friend who's in pain. Sometimes it's about saying no to a child who could make a mistake. Be on the lookout.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 2)
Today is a 6. Take a break. Relax and think things over. This is how you let your subconscious chew on and digest the problem. Actually, some fine cuisine would be good for your attitude. Indulge.
TODAY'S PUZZLE
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19)
Today is an 8. You race about at a hectic pace a lot of the time. How long has it been since you curled up with a good book? For an even better effect, read it out loud to someone you love, but not during work hours.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Today is a 6. Money is often a controversial subject, especially with folks who make purchasing decisions together and use the same checkbook. Approach financial topics gently.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is an 8. Did you know that Pisces is the sign of miracles? In case you forgot, here's a reminder: You're not in the game by yourself. You have help.

Student ticket controversy
Senators sav Clinton ticket allotment unfair, ask to move event to Fieldhouse
By Anna Clovis aclovis@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Student senators, upset with the distribution of tickets for former President Bill Clinton's lecture, are trying to force administrators to change the venue from the Lied Center to Allen Fieldhouse.
The 700 tickets made available for the public yesterday at 11 a.m. were gone in 25 minutes. Between 2,500 and 3,000 people waited in the rain outside the Lied Center for tickets. According to Network and
Telecommunication Services, 65,817 telephone calls were made to the Lied Center ticket number. 864-ARTS, between 11 a.m and noon yesterday.
Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president, said the reasoning behind moving the event was because student access to tickets was limited.
"The purpose of the Dole Institute is to expose ordinary citizens to government."
]
Dunlap said he spoke with Richard Konzem, associate director for administration of the institute, Steve McAllister, interim director of the institute, Chancellor Robert Hemenway, and Richard Johnson, dean of students, to discuss moving the event.
Dunlap said.
Clinton
students, to discuss moving the Dupla a decision had not yet been made because of security issues. He said because of other presidential appearances in Kansas next week, the Secret Service was spread thin and would prefer to keep the event at the Lied Center. That does not mean Allen Fieldhouse is out of the question, Dunlap said. A decision could come as early as tomorrow, Dunlap said.
Konzem said the institute had considered Allen Fieldhouse, which seats 16,300, as the location for the event but decided against it because of concerns with the building's sound system and security.
Originally, 1,900 seats were available for the event, but Konzem said 1,200 seats were reserved for VIPs including donors to the institute, media, state legislators and institute volunteers.

Former star strives to ascend football ranks PHOTOS BY KIT LEFFLER
STORY BY JOE BANT — PHOTOS BY KIT LEFFLER
Matt Patterson was a football star in high school.
A running back since the first time he laced up a pair of cleats at age six, he shined in three
"That's the dream,
I just see a lot of fans screaming,
KU winning
a lot of games,
a big adrenaline rush."
Hugh Mankwasser, red shirt freshman
running back
years as a starter at Archbishop O'Hara High School in Kansas City, Mo.
He scored touchdowns — 54 in total. He gained yards more than 5,000. Both statistics still stand as school records. A two-time team captain, he led his team to playoff-caliber seasons each year he took the field.
He signed autographs for kids after games. He was the kind of a player who would cause the crowd to hold its collective breath every time he touched the ball. He was a star.
time he touched the ball "We knew we had something special when he came in freshman year," said Jim DeMarea, kind high school coach.
Now, just a couple years later, no one knows who he is.
As fourth string running back for the University of Kansas football team, Matt, a red
shirt freshman, played in zero games last season. He didn't suit up for the games on the road. The home games, he spent on the sidelines — a stolc number 36, cheering the team on and waiting for his opportunity, his short 5-foot-8 frame seeming even shorter surrounded by his taller teammates.
Likely entering next year with a similar spot on the depth chart, Matt is looking at another season of hard practices and sparse playing time.
Though the former high school phenom has had to get used to not being a first-stringer, he said he felt no bitterness or resentment. He said he accepted his backup role and wanted to eventually move up by continuing to work hard and think positively.

Cramming does little for finals
By Samia Khan

For the more difficult finals on campus, cramming won't help. In some classes the subject matter is harder than students originally thought. In other classes, understanding the material from the beginning is more important than memorizing a textbook. Sometimes there just isn't enough time.
If you're looking for a quick way to ace your finals, good luck.
Just ask Brad Torgler. He has spent the last two days awake in the aerospace engineering lab, and he hasn't really started studying yet.
The Overland Park junior is taking two of Richard Hale's aerospace engineering classes. He's still working on a report for Hale's structures class. It's at 95 pages now, but he estimates it will be close to 120 when he's finished.

Now a New York Times best-seller, her new book Pledged: The Secret Life of Sororities investigates the stereotypical images of sororities portrayed in movies like Legally Blonde and Animal House. Images that not all sorority members at the University of Kansas think are representative of greek life.
Through her observations, Robbins found that "many of the rumors (as well as the fantasies) about sororities are staggeringly true, including those concerning loyalty, sex, conformity, drugs, violence, verbal abuse, mind games, prostitution, racism, forced binge drinking, nudity, cheating, eating disorders, rituals, 'mean girls' and secrecy," as she wrote in her book.
Although she did note that not all sororities embody these experiences, Robbins spent most of her book focusing on details of this nature.

Jenni Grode, member of Alpha Chi Omega sorority, said the controversial book had already generated discussion among sorority members. But she said she thought Pledged was a balanced attempt at revealing the truth that she would recommend to people both in and outside the Greek community.
"I think it makes you question things you should question about what your organization is based on, and then what it really is in real life." Grode, Edmond, Okla., sophomore, said.

Bar owner to offer limousine service for students in June
In June, students may have an alternative to Safe Ride — the Limo Loop.
Dave Boulter, owner of Henry's on Eighth, 11 E. 8th St., and The Crossing, 618 W. 12th St. plans to offer a limousine ride service. The service will run from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. thursday through Saturdays. For a $7 charge, a limousine will pick up people at their home, drive through downtown and can also stop by other bars such as the Yacht Club, 530 Wisconsin St., The Wheel, 507 W. 14th St., and The Crossing.
Boulter will use his three white limos — a 1985 Cadillac, a 1988 Lincoln and a 1991 Lincoln.
Abagail Adams, Lawrence sophomore, studied Tuesday afternoon at Clinton Lake. Adams said she was out enjoying the weather and trying to get some reading done for her Arabic class.
Boulter said he wanted his service to decrease drunk driving.

Arsonist suspect awaits Douglas County charges
The Douglas County District Attorney's office has yet to file any charges against David Ryan Jay. Jay was arrested in connection with a series of fires set in Douglas and Johnson Counties in early March.
The Douglas County district attorney is waiting until Jay's trial is completed in Johnson County before it files any charges, said Shelley Diehl, assistant district attorney.
Diehl said it would be easier to sentence Jay in Douglas County if he had already been convicted of a felony in Johnson County.

Kansas refuses release of Lew Perkins' records
LAWRENCE — The University of Kansas has refused to release records

The Lawrence Journal-World and cable television station 6News sued the University of Kansas this year after the school refused to release the same records. Last month, the AP and KPA asked to join the suit.
Because the original defendants have not objected, the judge is expected to grant the motion, said attorney Mike Merriam, who represents the AP and KPA.

Program celebrates success with graduation
By Jodie Krafft
jkraft@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Ebony Deanes graduated last night without a diploma or a walk down the hill. Deanes, St. Louis freshman, and about 80 freshmen attended the graduation banquet at the Malott Room in the Kansas Union and graduated from the University of Kansas' HAWK Link program.
Any incoming freshman who wants to better navigate the University and its programs and
resources can join HAWK Link, said Juan Izaguirre, assistant director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs and supervisor of the program. Nine components make up the program: recruitment, orientation, financial aid, advising, living and learning environments, tutoring and mentoring, educational and developmental programs, student involvement and an assessment of the program.
"It's very much about retention, but much of it is introduction to the University," he said.
Participation in the program has increased drastically since its beginning in 1998, Izaguirre said. He said the number of HAWK Link students had increased from 36 to 303 from 1998 to 2004.
"We're going to do whatever it takes to make sure the students are successful academically," said Robert Page, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
Page created the program in 1998 when he was working in the Office of Admissions and Scholarships. He said that a low retention rate accompanied the
my students. "I was bothered by the fact that we were losing as many students as we were recruiting." Page said.
increase in recruitment of minority students.
Deanes said meeting new people, networking with those people and attending programs were beneficial for her as a freshman.
"Just having resources available is a valuable perk to those coming to the University," Deanes said. "It's another step for us to be prepared socially and academically."
identifyem
Izaguirre said involvement*
with HAWK Link didn't have to end after freshman year. Sophomores are encouraged to return as mentors and tutors for the incoming freshmen. Upperclassmen can also work as HAWK Link guides, who are similar to peer advisers.
This year's freshman class was very involved with the program, Izaguirre said.
"They wanted to do everything,"he said. "We're hoping for the same attitude for next year's class."

Health concerns muddle graduation
Seniors who face serious conditions late in the semester have unique concerns in gaining diploma

When serious health conditions arise, uncertainty follows.
Andy Marso and Nastassia Johnson found their graduation status in question with they landed in the hospital at the beginning of their last month at the University of Kansas — Marso with bacterial meningitis and Johnson with injuries sustained in a car accident.
These students had more important things to worry about than graduation,but they still had to get their diplomas.

graduate.
Administrators such as Jane Tuttle, assistant to the dean of students, work as a liaison on campus for students. The process is more manual, Tuttle said, and she must gather all information pertaining to students' grades and academic standing as quickly as possible.
Roney said it ultimately came down to faculty on whether a student passes or not.
Tuttle said the University wanted to uphold academic freedom for its faculty. Professors
have the right to teach and grade their students however they want, she said.
Students' academic standing must be carefully weighed.
"It's much more complicated than anybody thinks," Tuttle said. "There are so many variables involved."
She said receiving a diploma depended largely on a student's past academic record and only students who had completed required work would be granted a degree.
"We try to be compassionate without compromising academic integrity." Tuttle said.
Marso and Johnson took different paths to find out if they would graduate.
wounded. Marso became sick in late April. He has been in and out of critical condition and is still in the University of Kansas Hospital, recovering from the infection.
Marso's family worked with the Office of the Dean of Students, his professors, the Office of the University Registrar and Roney to see if Marso could graduate. Each faculty member made sure Marso met all his requirements by checking with the School of Journalism and his professors.
They determined that Marso had already met all the requirements for earning a degree.
Johnson's automobile accident at the end of April left her with serious injuries. She had the help of her boyfriend, Ryan Griffin, Lawrence senior, and Bud Hirsch, coordinator of undergraduate studies in the English department, to help her coordinate her graduation.
Hirsch said Johnson had already accepted to law school at Loyola University and needed a certain number of credits and an honor's thesis to graduate this May.
"She is a dedicated student and all she had to do is a little extra work on her part to get the credits," Hirsch said.
Johnson, who is recovering at home, said she handed in her thesis. She also has two 10-page papers to write for next week and a take-home test to finish. She said she'll find out what grade she got on her thesis today.
"We're ready whenever he is," Tuttle said, of giving the diploma to Marso.
Marso will graduate at the top of his school with a 3.97 journalism grade point average and Johnson is graduating with honors from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

Hillel to remain open during the summer

When classes begin for the summer semester, Erin Bradzin will keep up her faith.
The Dallas sophomore is the social chairwoman for the University of Kansas Hillel Jewish Student Center, 917 Highland Dr, and is preparing for several summer programs.
Hillel is one of several religious organizations and places of worship that will keep its doors open during the summer for students.
Among those that will be open at least partially are the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, Hillel and the Jewish Community Center and the First Baptist Church, 1330 Kasold Dr.
The Rev. Vince Krische, director of the St. Lawrence Center, 1631 Crescent Road, said the center will hold Mass on Saturday and Sunday, but extra programs will be tailed back. Krische said the center doesn't hold many special events during the summer because many of the staff members were involved in continuing education.
He said spontaneous events might be planned for students, such as picnics or possibly attending a Royals game, but nothing is set yet.

This is about the hope inspired by the Justice Department's recent interest in resuming the investigation into his death.
Cornelius Minor opinion@kansan.com
This is for Emmett Till whose 1955 murder in Mississippi never saw justice because the America of Thomas Jefferson's dreams has yet to become the America of our shared experience.
In a country where the beginning of a long-fought victory for freedom at home comes at the same time as the world beholds the human rights abuses that have been committed in the name of freedom abroad, this semester's column has been an attempt to ease the thorn of reasoned skepticism from the side of my battered optimism.
On the phone the other evening a
friend of mine read me the opening words to Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. She could not have been more on target. It is indeed the best of times, and in the same moments we are suffering through time at its very worst.
When I cannot cry, when it is inappropriate to scowl, or when laughing would be out of place, I was fortunate this semester, because I could always write.
That writing gave me the freedom to do so much more.
This semester I rediscovered my sincere love for friends who have been in my life forever. What's more revolutionary is
that I nurtured the ability to love the random people that I meet every day.
I'm not a journalist. At times that was obvious, but I have no apologies. I spent the semester working to tell my own story, because as I have found the freedom to do that, I have acquired the vision to see others who are engaged in similar struggles to think, to create and to change.
Ultimately, I have developed the sensitivity to feel and to know that free people — any people — unite in ways that popular notions of diversity can't even begin to explain.
Simply stated, underneath all these words, there is an individual who is trying to be the best he can be. I hope that there are scores of us who, underneath everything we do, have a desire to make the todays in our lives consistently better than the yesterday.
This has been a semester-long tribute to you — those who read me all semester, those who just picked me up today and those who send me those thoughtful critiques. This is for the hundreds of comments that I receive.
This is for my father who has given his life to the struggle, and for my mother whose sleeplessly red eyes are surrounded by wrinkles that tell the stories of an eternity of women who built nations upon their love for justice.
This is for the Amanda Crosses, Tony Danielses, Ernesto Cruzes, Halima Adamses of the world — those countless schoolmates, University officials, and friends who have the strength and the humility to live the lives that many of my heroes — bell hooks, Paul Robeson, Fannie Lou Hamer — envisioned. To those who live the ideals to which I aspire.
This is because I'm staring at the end of the semester, and I've got a whole lot left to say. This is knowing that I don't have to say it, because the rest is up to you and you and...

EDITORIAL BOARD
Firings abridge students' free press
At Kansas State University and Barton County Community College, administrators are abridging freedom of press.
Last week, officials at Barton County Community College didn't renew the newspaper adviser's contract. Monday, at KState, Ron Johnson was relieved of his duties at the recommendation of the journalism school director.
Officials at K-State and the community college both refuse to comment, but student staff members at both newspapers say it is recent discussions about student-controlled content that have caused the dismissals.
At K-State, members of its Black Student Union had been demanding Johnson's resignation, saying the paper was insensitive to multicultural issues. At the community college, officials have taken issue with recent articles exposing problems within the athletics department.
At both of these campuses, the student newspapers operate independently, just like The University Daily Kansan. And for good reason. A campus newspaper serves as an outside perspective that can comment independently of the school administration. When an adviser, who has no control over editorial content, can be fired over what students in a newsroom do, it sets a dangerous precedent.
The constitution of The University Daily Kansan states that the "editor bears full responsibility for the editorial content" of the newspaper. The adviser should never be blamed for the mistakes of the student editor and his or her staff. These two dismissals may bring us further from the ideals of studentrun publications. School officials should not place restrictions on their student journalists.
WAKE UP!
As student journalists at the University of Kansas, we request that school administrators stay out of the newsroom at our University and at other institutions of higher education. Allow us to operate with a free press and only hold us accountable.
Michelle Rombek, Kansan editor, for the editorial board.
Columnist's last request: Keep eye on world news
The semester has finally come to an end and I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed writing for The University Daily Kansan.
I would like to thank everyone at the Kansan that gave me this wonderful opportunity to voice my opinion on a weekly basis about topics that I felt should be important to KU students.
Secondly, I would like to thank any readers who took the time to read just one of my articles — whether you liked it I still appreciate you.
Lastly, I would like to thank instructors and faculty such as Dr. Bill Tuttle, Professors Rose Greaves and Mark Joslyn and Tony Daniels who have helped me grow intellectually during my tenure at the University. Their classes and encouragements made me think and act on a larger scale and I am a better-informed man because of them.
COMMENTARY
MARSHAL
Brandon Gay opinion@kansan.com
Because this is my last article and my last semester at the University, I will briefly list some topics and issues to look out for in the near future.
The U.S. presidential election is getting closer. It is only six months away and Bush v. Kerry is sure to be a campaign filled with negative attack advertisements and plenty of finger pointing.
whoever wins the election has a tough
road in the presidency ahead of them. Furthermore, the next president has the potential to choose up to three new Supreme Court Justices. This is important because the Supreme Court interprets Americans' everyday laws, freedoms and liberties and any newly appointed Justices' politics might play a determining role in its rulings.
The Middle East is surely a region to watch closely. So many events are going on over there that it is anyone's guess when peace and stability will truly exist in the war-torn region. Israel v. Palestine is always a pressing issue in world politics. Now there is an increasing amount of political pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon from his Likud political party over his pull-out plan in Gaza, not to mention the growing tension and resentment from other Arab countries that detest Israel's existence.
The United States' relationships with Jordan, Pakistan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia will be under the microscope as those countries deal with internal terrorism and increasing popularity of American and Western hatred. It will be interesting to see how U.S. foreign policy may shift because of the changing Middle Eastern climate.
Osama bin Laden is still at large and the U.S. government wants to get its hands on him soon, but I think capturing him will have little effect on those who follow his message just as capturing Saddam did little to deter violence against U.S. troops in Iraq.
Please continue to support U.S. troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. I hope that they all have a safe return back home and that U.S. government will speed up the process in returning them. Close to 850 soldiers have died in Iraqi
Do not let Africa become a forgotten continent. I am ashamed that I do not know more about the mass genocides and injustices to humanity that take place in Africa. I plan to learn more about the beautiful continent in the future. I hope there will be a stop to the AIDS epidemic and the ethnic cleansing taking place in countries such as Sudan

Kyrgyz version of Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton has not run for the presidency. No one knows whether he has any intention to do it or not. He does not play saxophone or even speak English. I am sure that Bill does not even care that his namesake is famous.
Now he is five years old and lives in in a small village in Kyrgyzstan.
I remember the cold winter day when this famous baby was born in Ysykkol region of Kyrgyz Republic. His father gave him the name of then American President Bill Clinton. All the Kyrgyz newspapers, even popular Russian Public TV reported that news.
Then some journalists reported a rumor that Clinton's visit to Kyrgyzstan was a reality. If I am not mistaken, in those days he was preparing to visit a number of Asian countries. For some reason I, like a lot of other Kyrgyzstan people, believed that he would come to my homeland as well. Clinton was popular in my state. And I was his admirer.
The father of Bill Clinton, an ordinary humble and self-effacing village resident, spoke on TV holding his newborn baby. He invited the "real" Bill Clinton to see his baby namesake and to be the honorable and distinguished guest in Kyrgyz.
I saw him on TV for the first time when I was a junior in high school. He was giving a speech and a commentator said that he was the Arkansas governor who was going to rival George Bush in the 1992 presidential election.
You may not believe me, but I at once understood that he would be the next leader of the United States.
Clinton looked energetic, self-confident and friendly. As Kyrgyz people say I saw "a star on his face." That was my first impression of him. I am still wondering what he was speaking about. I did not speak English yet; nevertheless, I comprehended that he was a good orator.
GUEST COMMENTARY
GUEST COMMENT
Nur Kadyrbekov opinion@hansan.com
It is unusual to be impressed by someone without understanding even a single word in his speech.
his speech.
I was right; Clinton's bid for the White House was successful. Time showed that America's choice was successful as well. President Clinton had a lot of remarkable actions during his presidency. Under his leadership, the American economy reached its most stable and strong condition in the last several decades.
decades.
In 1999 I was surprised when an Osh State University economic professor told me that the last American budget had a surplus. Until then, I didn't even suspect that the American budget had been in a deficit.
For me, the United States has always been the country that never had problems with money. I was wrong — every state has its own issues and problems and America is no exception.
However, the strength of American economy is an important factor in stability of less powerful economies like Kyrgyzstan's. Especially in the time of globalization, this factor is getting more and more relevant.
getting more President Clinton's last budget was more than $200 billion in surplus versus the almost $300 billion deficit budget he inherited in 1992. This shows that his economical policy was tremendously productive.
as treтийно пресво as Clinton's foreign policy was also success
ful. His most important achievement came in the summer of 1994 when Jordan's King Hussein and Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin signed the Israel-Jordan peace agreement.
Another important item in his international affairs activity was his vigorous support of democracy in the states of the former communist block. Clinton's administration supported all democratic undertakings in Kyrgyzstan, my Central Asian former Soviet Republic.
Republic. The United States has a big role in developing and strengthening the civil society in this country. A number of American-based international organizations began their activity during Clinton's presidency. One of these is the National Democratic Institution For International Affairs where I worked before I came to the United States.
The American University in Kyrgyzstan, the first and only higher education institution in the Central Asia, functions according to the American model and was founded in Clinton's second term. It enjoys an excellent reputation, both regionally and internationally, for academic excellence. Former first lady Hillary R. Clinton, Vice President Al Gore and Secretary of State Madelyn Albright visited the University.
versity. I expected a trip by Mr. Clinton as well, especially after his baby namesake was born. Unfortunately, it did not happen and I was disappointed.
There is Kyrgyz saying "Kancha but, oshoncho kut," which means "The more feet enter your house, the more happiness and wealth enter together." So even though Clinton is not president anymore, Kyrgyzsian people like him as a person. I hope that one day he will come to see Kyrgyz and the Kyrgyz Bill Clinton. He will always be one of the most respected guests for my compatriots.

Professor emeritus offers Stop Day tours for students
By Rupla Gor
rgor@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
The beauty of the University of Kansas campus is where Ted Johnson finds an inspiring pool of ideas.
The professor emeritus of French and Italian said the campus was a growing place, which was important to students because they develop during their time on campus at the University.
Johnson took his classes around campus as a way of teaching them, but he wanted more time to show them campus because his classes were only 50 minutes. He decided to present a Stop Day tour, which began in 1992. The tour is from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and begins at the KU Natural History Museum.
The tour of campus is similar to a Socratic dialogue, Johnson said. Like Socrates, Johnson asks a question that people respond to, which starts a discussion in a place outside. The conversation turns and spins so that people participate, he said.
"Students see through the eyes of somebody else," he said. "They get to abandon their view and see someone else's view."
Johnson shows the group various buildings on campus. He talks about architecture, iconography and details on the buildings. He mainly wants people to notice what they haven't seen before and to see it metaphorically — nothing material, such as the cost of buildings.
Peter Wolf, Lawrence resident, was a KU student in 1997 and started on tours since the
mid '90s. He likes the structure of Dyche Hall, because it mimics a zodiac, he said, with an animal appearance.
Johnson takes his own ideas about astrology and biology and relates it to the building.
"It's just wild, all of the ideas he's pulled out of it," Wolf said. "A lot of it is his interpretation, but it all just makes sense."
Wolf said Johnson would even comment on the designs of sidewalks and manhole covers. Wolf said the first time he saw how people could look at those designs he was blown away.
"One of the things I love most about the tour is that Ted tries to evoke the ideas of the past and beauty of architecture and open it to ideas people have at the moment," Wolf said.

The Stop Day tour is open to the public tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. People are welcome to attend and leave at any time. On the tour will be stops such as, "Whose Findeth Wisdom Findeth Life," at the main entrance of KU Natural History Museum at 9 a.m., "Memory, the Muses, and the Liberal Arts and Sciences," at Watson Library, then across campus to Murphy Hall at noon, "Tentative Syntheses and Perspectives," at Weaver Court by Spooner Hall at 5 p.m. Check out www.kansan.com to see the complete tour schedule.

Associate professor: research funding has its drawbacks
By J.T. Mitchum
jmitchum@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
White millions of dollars for research funding come through the University of Kansas every year, these millions aren't enough to cover the cost of keeping up research nor the cost of bringing it.
Recent research by Christopher Morphew, associate professor of teaching and leadership, looked at the budgets of universities that made dedicated efforts to gain federal funding. Morphew said it seemed that as universities pushed for more research funding, more money was spent on administrative fees, which included anything from paperclips and stationery to the salaries paid for people who help attract and manage incoming research money. As the administrative fees increase and the money from grants run out, universities are left with the tab. How the universities compensate for these costs
remains largely undiscussed in public circles, Morphew said.
The University is in its second year of five planned years of steady tuition increase. And while the state's budget for the University has decreased, research funding has nearly doubled since 1995, according to the Center for Research Web site. While research grants are paid during periods of a few years, the faculty hired to either attract or maintain that research as well as the buildings constructed to house them, have long-term costs, Morphew said.
Morphew's paper compared university budgets as they went from a Carnegie class RU2 to the higher funded RU1 status. RU2 refers to universities gathering $15 million to $40 million a year in federal grants while RU1 federal grants total more than $40 million, a classification the University of Kansas went to in 1994.
Universities looking to climb in rankings often have to spend increasing amounts of money in
administrative costs to catch up to the competitors, Morphew said. While this increased spending occurs, the piece of the financial pie for education typically takes the cut, Morphew said.
Just looking at the pie chart doesn't tell the whole story.
"No matter what color the money was, when it gets to the University, it is just money," said James Roberts, vice chancellor of research. His salary is one example of an administrative cost.
When these grants are figured, the costs for the buildings used, the researchers working and graduate students' salaries are all accounted for in the estimates. Roberts said.
These costs are called facility and administrative costs and are considered overhead in addition to the money for the actual research.
While there is no limit to the charge associated with facilities, administrative costs have firm ceilings in place, Roberts said.
Roberts said that for every dollar of research money that came in, there was compensation for the building, much like rent and utilities.
Administrative costs are typically capped at 26 percent for any university, Roberts said. Roberts estimated the reality of administrative costs for the University to be about 30 percent.
This means 4 percent that isn't accounted for in the grant writing. This isn't the only gap.
Grants from the state of Kansas, for example, typically pay for none of the overhead costs for administration.
Roberts said the state felt as if it already had paid administrative costs by supporting the University with state funding.
While some universities receive larger facility reimbursements, the University's facility reimbursement suffers because of buildings that are considered worthless in depreciated value under the grant writing considerations. Depreciated value is similar to rent going down as an
apartment ages.
Buildings depreciate in research value as soon as they are built. Roberts said that Spooner Hall was probably worth zero dollars in rent for research because it had been here for so long.The facility charge increases when a university is using newer buildings.
The University has an aggressive building plan, which includes adding 250,000 sq. ft. of research space in the next three to five years, Roberts said.
Roberts said a good deal of the money taken in for overhead was reinvested back into the effort of getting more research.
This money is spent on the attraction of people who bring research with them or buildings that allow more room for further research projects.
Roberts pointed out that this deficit of administrative funding was something every university had to deal with.
Morphew's research indicated
most schools increasing in research spent more money on administrative fees; usually larger amounts than established RU1 universities.
Colleges aren't measured just by the students they turn out, but by the new knowledge they find, Roberts said.
A university develops and disperses knowledge, which in turn benefits students.
The pay-off to research may not translate well into immediate dollars. The idea is that it pays off in what a degree is worth.
Roberts said this research money often meant jobs and tuition grants for graduate students. These students get to work on the leading edge of their field with researchers equally in the forefront of their fields.
"The caliber of student you are sitting next to in class and of the professor who teaches it is higher overall in part because of research," Roberts said.

Telemedicine focus of research
Therapy treats children who have less access to treatment
By J.T. Mitchum
jmitchum@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Psychologists and psychiatrists at the KU Medical Center are looking at the possibility of treating depressed children through data lines, or data circuits that provide access to an intranet.
This new therapy offers possibilities for children otherwise out of range of professional mental healthcare.
"There is such an extreme shortage of psychiatrists and psychologists in communities and getting a visit is in short supply." Eve-Lynn Nelson, coordinator of telemental health research at KU Medical Center, said.
Telemedicine is the name given to the new mode of patient care that brings doctors and patients together via data lines.
together Telemedicine at the medical center was established in 1991, providing a conduit for doctors in small communities to consult with specialists.
Research on the effectiveness of therapy with children through telemedicine's system is in its infancy, but it comes at a time when suicide in young adults is growing in Kansas, according to a study by the Kansas department of health and environment.
That report is consistent with the State Child Death Review board which found suicide had nearly doubled from 1994 to 1998 in ages 15-24.
Suicides are the third-highest reason for youth death behind

violent deaths and car accidents.
Aside from suicide, one in 12 teenagers suffer from a mood disorder at some point.
It's not just distance that is separating children from proper care, it is also insurance coverage, inexperienced health clinicians and a social ignorance about childhood depression, Nelson said.
"There isn't a doubt in my mind there is a large cross-section of kids undiagnosed in rural communities," said Martha Barnard, KU Medical Center behavioral pediatrics associate director.
"Studies show the more convenient to an individual therapy is, the more likely they are to go," Barnard said.
Barnard was one of two clinicians that selected children for the research and evaluated their progress.
Ideally, Nelson would like to see intervention before these disorders get to its worst.
One of the problems preventing this is access to specialized healthcare.
therapy through a video monitor and data lines as they do in person, then access is limited only as far as the intranet can reach.
f children respond as well to
This pilot study was designed to evaluate whether psychological therapy is effective through telemedicine in comparison to traditional therapy.
Barnard said children were treated with cognitive behavioral therapy because of its documented effectiveness at reducing depression.
Barnard said cognitive therapy involved changing a person's perceptions about incidents, which in turn changes the feeling the person responds with.
The behavioral portion of therapy involves teaching exercises to help relieve and eventually avoid feeling depressed.
These exercises are not too unlike meditation, calming and soothing away situations that might lead to bad feelings.
"We needed to set up a model of researching the similarity of effectiveness between traditional therapy and therapy given over ITV." Nelson said. ITV, or Internet tele-video, is the system used in telemedicine to deliver therapy.
The article on Nelson's research appeared in a peer-reviewed journal recently.
Two groups of children, 28 total, diagnosed as depressed by two different clinicians, received one of two types of therapy.
One group was given traditional therapy by a clinician in person, while the other group was given therapy through ITV.
to determine whether school- aged children are depressed, and the children's depression inventory.
Essentially, the effectiveness was the same, Nelson said. Both groups demonstrated a similar reduction in depressive symptoms, which were measured by standardized tests, such as the schedule for affective disorders and schizophrenia, used
Nelson said the number of children tested was small, but emphasized that this was a pilot study meant to see if more research was warranted.
The children have mostly grown up with this technology, so they are more interested in the technology than they would be in normal therapy, Nelson said.
She also said the system seemed to be an icebreaker for the children.
children. But not having an on-site person had some differences.
Therapy with children involves coaching and educating the parents as well, Nelson said.
Where she might normally coach the child during a face-toface session, she found herself coaching the parents more in ITV sessions.
Given the children's responses to therapy, Nelson said she felt much more research was warranted in therapy via telemedicine.
Nelson has delivered therapy through video conferencing systems before, and thought the difference in therapy came in picking up patient cues such as eye contact, but after doing it for a while, she said she can pick up those cues through the camera as well.
The children using the ITV systems were separated in reality by a stretch of hallway at the medical center, but the data lines used were set up to mimic what is available in communities today.
Barnard said there was still uncertainty as to the exact applications of this therapy if proven effective.

PATTERSON: Football player brings dreams to Univ.
That is the dream," Matts said. "I just see a lot of fans crying. ©12 Winning a lot of games, a big adrenaline rush.
on the fall of 2001, when Matt was looking ahead to high school graduation and thinking about where to study college, he had many updates.
DeMarcas said between 20 and 25 schools expressed interest in Matt, but most failed to offer scholarships after walking how small he was.
Still, Matt had a variety of full scholarships offers from smaller schools, including Northwest Missouri State.
William jason College, and Stephen of Missouri State.
His family, his coaches and his friends were all pushing for him to be an BMS Bear. He would get money to play and he could likely start or at least get good playing time. His older brother had played football at a smaller school before him, spending a year at running back at Missouri Valley College. Man looked poised to follow in his brother's footsteps.
Kansas had not offered Matt a scholarship, but the coaches had invited him to walk on to the team. Football coach Mark Mangino said the staff had looked at Matt and determined he would be a good addition. "Whether you're a scholarship player or a walk-on, you have to be evaluated," Mangino said. "Our coach-attack has to believe you'll be an asset."
Ultimately, Matt traded the scholarship and the prominent role he would have taken on at SMS for no scholarship and a red shirt at Kansas.
ing staff has to believe you it be an asset.
In Kansas, Matt also saw a place where he could contribute to an up-and-coming program
"Everything just fit well at KU." Matt said.
The people around Matt were quick to support his decision, though they had initially advised him to act differently. "One of his dreams was to play at a Division One college," said Myric Rollison, Matt's former high school teammate. "I high school coaches wanted him to go D2, D3. I told him to go for the best of it." Corey Patterson, Matt's older brother, said Kansas was a good place for Matt.

something bigger and with more diversity.
Matt hasn't regretted his decision, though sometimes he feels discouraged.
Kurley Patterson, Matt's older brother, said Kurtus was a good piece of art. "Him being at KU pushes him," Corey said. "We've been going to small schools our entire life. We wanted something bigger and with more diversity."
Matt hasn't regretted his decision, though sometimes he feels discouraged. "I feel ways played football," Matt said. "When you're not playing and you see everyone else playing, you want to be out there having fun with your teammates."
It was Matt's idea to play football, his parents said. His father, Vernon Pattern said he had to convince his wife just to let her youngest of four children play. "It was okay with me," Vernon said. "But mom was afraid he'd get hurt." Vernon had always wanted to play football when he was a kid, he said, but his parents had never let him. He said he didn't want to deny his son the opportunity he had so strongly wished for. Eventually, his mother, Pamela Patterson, also warmed to the idea. "It was important to him," Pamela said. "I wanted to be a better man."
COUNT ON ME
"It was important to him," Pamela said. I wanted it be there to support him."
Matt loved the sport from the beginning, she said, and it was apparent that he had a knack for it. As a kid, he created a buzz every time he carried the ball and the crowd would wait at games to see how many touchdowns the young slasher would score that day, she said.
His brother Corey said he

remembered one time when Matt's Little Dolphins were playing the Gators, the only other good team in the kids' league. The Gators also had a really good running back and the two boys dueted back-and-forth.
Matt's team was on offense; Matt took the ball on a handoff and was knocked flat.
The next play, Corey said, Matt broke through for a 70-yard touchdown run.
"His work ethic is incredible," Corey said.
"Without the grace of God, we wouldn't be where we are today and Matthew understands that," Corey said.
As Matt's talent flourished Corey said he never once heard his brother brag, which Corey attributed to Matt's religious faith.
With the exception of the University, Matt has been in Catholic school his entire life. He makes the trip to Saint Louis Catholic Church in Kansas City whenever he gets the opportunity.
"I pray everyday," Matt said. "For my family, for others, for me

Growing up, Matt's athletic talents weren't limited to football. He was known to hit home runs on the baseball field—once awarding his dad a Father's Day grand slam. He also played basketball, earned medals running track and played ice hockey on the side.

Mattalls Monte Terrill his brother. Friends since the sixth grade, Monte said the two just hung out with a common group and became steadfast friends. They clicked, he said, like two parts of a puzzle coming together.
Monté was there to console Matt when an Archbishop O'Hara loss to high school football juggernaut Platte County left Matt in tears. Matt had run for 175 yards in the game against highly favored Platte County. It wasn't enough to ward off the 35-21 loss.

then ran away with him after a teacher caught them eating it. He wasn't even mad when Matt got caught and told on him.
And so it made sense that he and his family were there when 16-year old Matt needed a place to live after his family followed a job to Houston. Matt and Monte shared a roof and a room. It was then that they became "brothers."

"There'd be times when I missed my mom and dad, missed my family and felt alone," Matt said.
After three years of shining at Archbishop O'Hara High School, red shirt freshman Matt Patter said he accepted his limited role on the Kansas football team.
The transition was equally hard for his family.
"My husband and I — we prayed a lot and talked to Matt and friends and coaches and decided to let him stay and finish up his high school career," Pamela said.
She said she would fly to Kansas City as often as she could and take Matt back to Houston with her for visits. They talked continuously.
visits. They made the move was especially tough on Corey, who said he always saw his little brother as his best friend, even if Matt was four years younger.
even Mark was this year when "I worried a lot about him," Corey said. "We grew up together, slept in the same room in bunk beds, he's always been my little brother."
Though relatives questioned the family's decision, he never doubted that Matt would do the right thing. Matt's always been about doing the right thing, Corey said.
right thing, Corey said.
He recalled a time before Matt left for college when he was down in Houston. Corey drove his younger brother to the airport and when he got back to his car, he found a note on the seat.
Matt and his family still talk constantly and never miss spending holidays together. They discuss life, happiness and of course Kansas football.
he found a note on the floor.
The note was from Matt. It apologized for things Matt had done to his brother when he was a young kid — the everyday pranks and annoyances that little brothers pull on their older siblings.

"He apologized for stuff I didn't even really think about anymore," Corey said. "It takes a big man to do that."
It's about noon on a sunny Thursday and the windows of the sprawling, weights-filled Anderson Family Strength and Conditioning Center look out to a serene and summery Daisy Hill.
Matt stands on one of 26 Olympic platforms, his arms held straight above his head, hands grasping a barbell and holding it up.
Work and Reward
He's short compared to his teammates around him. His height has earned him the nickname Sproles, after the 5-foot-7 running back sensation Darren Sprooks from Kansas State. He doesn't seem to mind the comparison, and he's quick to list
the great short running backs of his time: Sproles and NFL hall-of-famer Barry Sanders top he list.
latter Barry said.
The bar still held high over his head, he squats down and stands up, repeating the action six times for each of three sets. His lips are pursed in concentration; his eyes betray no lack of focus. Fresh from an abs workout, just beginning the day's weights routine, his gray T-shirt is already damp and sweat glands on his face and head.
greens on his knees.
Later in the afternoon, Matt will work out again. He'll cap the evening with dinner and his economics homework back at his apartment in the Jayhawker Towers.
The ball is so small. Until the end of the school year, he will run or lift weights at least four days a week. He'll work out throughout the summer and two-a-day practices will start some time in early August. Then football will really start to consume his life, with practices, meetings and film-watching sessions occurring five, sometimes six days a week.
Such is the life of Matt Patterson, where football never ceases, even after spring practice is finished and the fall is still inno;hs away.
When he came to Kansas, Matt had no delusions of instant playing time. He knew he would take a red shirt, and part of him even welcomed the year of preparation
cooled the year in preparation,
"I wasn't ready for college time," Matt said. "The game is played extremely fast. You just can't do the stuff you did in high school."
Last year, with the red shirt finally off, Matt expected a little more playing time, but he was disappointed again. Ever the eternal optimist, he still sees bright possibilities for his football future.
This kind of positive attitude is what wins him the support of his teammates and coaches.
"Ive never heard him complain once," said Adam Barmann, freshman quarterback.
"For a guy whose not on scholarship, that's unbelievable."
"For a walk-on, attitude is everything." Henderson said. "It is hard, often overlooked work. Matt does it because he loves the game, loves the camaraderie, and being part of the whole."
()
Matt's running backs coach, Pat Henderson, said Matt provided the team with the intangible qualities.
But Matt has more than attitude; he has talent. He still looks forward to a scholarship in the future, an award often offered to walk-ons who step up and get decent playing time.
"If he continues to work hard, I don't discount him," Mangino said. In his two years as coach of the Jayhawks, he said he had promoted about 10 players from walk-on to scholarship status.
For those who've known Matt his whole life, his breakthrough is just a matter of time.

"I say keep doing what you're doing." Vernon said. "You'll get a chance to play."
Life
Matt has never defined himself as just a football player, a balance that his friends and family recognize and appreciate.
"He has a plan A, plan B and a plan C for his life," his mother said. "I want Matt to be successful in whatever he chooses to do."
A business major, Matt said someday he wanted to own his own business, liking the idea of being in control and setting his pace.
control and setting him in control. His father Vernon said the family had always stressed that school came before football, but that was never a problem with Matt, whom he described as an intellectual child who loved strategy games such as chess and checkers.
Matt's intellect matured much like his athletic ability, with a 3.5 grade point average in high school. His decision to come to
Kansas, he said, had as much to do with his academic ambitions as it did with his athletic ones.
People who know Matt also describe him as a caring and compassionate person and a good listener. His high school coach Jim DeMarea said even without athletic talents, Matt was still "one of those kids that every family wants as a kid."
Matt and Monté are still close.
Earlier this year, Monté wrecked his car and Matt called and offered to help. He didn't hesitate to lend his best friend the $200 he needed.
"He had the money." Monte said. "He gave it to me."
Though Matt is in Lawrence and Monte is in Kansas City, the two get together on a weekly basis for a movie or to hang out.
Matt also maintains a close relationship with his family in Houston. His brother Corey said he didn't think there was a person that knew him better than Matt did, and whenever Matt was in town, the rest of Corey's life got put on hold.
"I really do love him." Corey said. "There's nothing I won't do for him. If I got married, he would probably be my best man."
probably be my greatest For Matt, his relationships with people are what make life rich, regardless of his success on the football field.
Matt sometimes thinks about life without football, he said. He thinks about it now, starring quizzically at the ceiling as he leans back in his couch. He thinks about the time he would have and the things he could do if the onslaught of workouts, practices and games suddenly ceased.
But the look of longing in his eyes betrays even these thoughts, and he shakes his head at the notion of quitting.
"One day I want to play," Matt said. "And one day I think I am going to play."

FINALS: Success requires semester-long studying
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
"The last two weeks are brutal," Hale said.
Finals can also be brutal for students who go into a class thinking it will be a piece of cake.
Steve Shawl teaches an introductory astronomy class. He said most students expect to simply look at stars, but he requires much more.
Blair Thompson took Shawl's class thinking she would just be learning about stars. The Norman, Okla, sophomore took the class to learn more about the subject. She discovered there was more science involved than she thought.
For her, the toughest part of the exams was the fill-in-the-blank section. But Thompson said Shawl gave students every opportunity to succeed if they put effort into the class. The top students in the class
have the option to take an oral exam.
Shawl regularly notices that many students don't study as hard for finals as they should. Perhaps it is the time crunch or the successive projects, papers and tests. But Shawl said the point of finals was to test knowledge, and students should aim to understand the material.
"If you try to simply memorize
you can easily screw it up," he said.
Mark Haug, who teaches a business statistics class, said students must strive for more than memorizing.
"If you pursue ownership first, then grades will follow." Haug said. "But if you pursue grades, then you don't know what will happen."

He said most students described the test as difficult but fair. He invites the few who really criticize the test to his office to go over the
while taking the grades in the class if there are not enough As or Bs. He tries to keep the bar high so students have high expectations for themselves.
Will Lamborn is a straight-A student, but he said Haug's final was the hardest test he has taken in college. Lamborn took the class last semester and said he had heard Haug's final was hard. He studied almost eight hours, but when he got the test he said nothing looked familiar on it.
But Lamborn must have done more than memorize—he got an A on the final.

Tickets given to VIPs are nontransferrable, Konzem said. He said he did not anticipate other tickets becoming available at a later time.
CLINTON: Ticket distribution upsets some students
Not all reserved seats went to non-student VIPs. Konzem said tickets went to Student Senate executive staff members and two or three political science classes, which will be seated in the orchestra pit. Konzem said Clinton staff had requested students sit in the front.
Some students were disappointed with the ticket distribution. Bryan Begham, vice president for the University of Kansas Young Democrats, said it was unfortunate the institute gave tickets to VIPs first instead of students. Begham said he arrived at the Lied Center at 8 a.m., but it wasn't early enough to get a ticket.
early enough to
Jeremy Jewell, Wichita sophomore, said the situation was absurd. He said he missed out on tickets because he had to go to class yesterday morning and couldn't stand in line.
The Lied Center's ticket office hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
There were some students who received tickets. Sarah Hemme, Perry senior, didn't stand in line for tickets.Instead, she called the Lied Center box office at 11 a.m.
"I found a tiny momentary loophole, and some people will find that unfair," Hemme said. "I was just doing everything that I could think of, and I'm really grateful to the person who answered that phone."
Hemme said the number of tickets allotted to VIPs was completely unfair.
"This is probably a once-in-a lifetime opportunity for most students to hear a former president in person," Heme said, "and it's just a shame that so few tickets were available to us."
Chris Cardinal, Salina junior, formed a camping group with about five others for the event. Cardinal, who was No. 16 in line at the Lied Center, said he arrived at midnight yesterday morning to stand in line. He said he received tickets early but saw many other students still standing in line when he left.
Katie Wolff, Student Senate legislative director, said the Student Legislative Awareness Board was considering starting a petition tomorrow on campus to show student support of moving the location of the lecture.
PLEDGED: Author looks at sororities, stereotypes
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Edited by Louise Stauffer
Never having joined a sorority in college, Robbins admitted she had always thought of sororities as being "the popular group of girls from high school — cooler, prettier, wealthier, multiplied by 10, living under one roof, and recognized officially by their college as a clique."
cally by them. But when she set out to openly observe a "major national sorority," she was denied access, first by the chapter's adviser, and then by the sorority's national office. Eventually, she wrote, every one of the 26 sororities in the National Panhellenic Conference refused to let her report on their organizations. Robbins wrote that they were hesitant to allow the women in their organization to cooperate with the media after such negative portrayals of sororities as in MTV's Sorority Life.
"That doesn't surprise me in the least," said Angie Carr, coordinator for Fraternity and Sorority Life. "They wouldn't want one person representing their national organization because one person's views and opinions don't represent the masses."
But Robbins was not deterred by the National Panhellenic Conference's access denial. Plan B was to seek out individual sorority members who were willing to let her secretly follow them for a year. To protect their identities, lest they face possible expulsion from the greek community, she wrote, Robbins gave the women, their school and the school's greek organizations pseudonyms as well as changed their identifying details.
the book chronicles the daily soap operas that are the lives of Vicki, Sabrinia, Caitlin and Amy throughout their year at "State U." Nothing was off limits, from their online away messages — "my life has been officially taken over" or "another day, another dumb T-shirt," for example — to
an affair with a professor
Robbins wrote that to provide a balanced view, she selected "goodhearted girls who were members of 'normal' sororities" at a campus where greek life was considered "important but not essential" and supplemented her observations with interviews from hundreds of sorority women from campuses across the country.
But Elaine Jardon, Overland Park freshman and member of Alpha Chi Omega sorority, said she thought that Pledged represented Southern sororities, where the pledging process was more intense and the culture of greek life was a different experience.
different experience.
"I think she did a good job of showing what goes on elsewhere," Jardon said. "But I didn't feel like it applied to greek life at KU."
applied to good progress. Throughout the pledging process, Robbins uncovered a variety of hazing practices. She found that some women had to watch hardcore pornography as a condition of joining. Others were subjected to customs such as "boob ranking" where topless pledges were forced to line up according to breast size.
Although she is waiting to read the book this summer, Amy Sullivan said these incidents were not a problem at the University. The St. Louis junior said hazing was not tolerated within the University's Kappa Delta chapter.
In another chapter, active members branded pledges with cigarettes or metal stamps of their sorority letters. Women also told Robbins about traditions like "circle the fat," where pledges undressed and stood in front of the chapter as members circled the fat and cellulite on their bodies.
"I could never even imagine hazing someone or imagine me as a strong independent person being hazed," Sullivan said. "I would never put up with that, and I don't think that it is happening on our campus."
Robbins also claims that despite operating under the guise of organizations based on scholarship and community service, sororities are simply an ever-present group of friends to party and go to bars with.
friends to play "The pillars are scholarship and community service, and we do those things," Grode said. "But really I think people need to kind of own up to the fact that it's really primarily a social organization."
"She was trying to find dirt," Sullivan said. "And I don't think she covered the positive aspects you get from being in an organization like this."
But sororities are about more than just the alcohol consumption that Robbins witnessed, Sullivan said.
Sullivan said that as a sorority member, she has made lifelong friends and lasting memories that she would not have otherwise have had the opportunity to experience
had the oppressor.
But Robbins displays a darker side of sororities throughout Pledged, including the prevalence of rampant eating disorders. She reported that she found an "alarming number" of sorority
houses that needed monthly visits from a plumber to clean out the house's pipes after they had been clogged with vomit. She also cited a 1990s study that reported that 80 percent of college women who frequently self-induced vomiting were in sororities.
"I know that that's an issue in some houses on this campus," Grode said. "You know, having to close down certain bathrooms and house directors regulating how much you eat, and stuff like that."
The content of Pledged is a sensationalized, unfair representation of sorority life, Jardon said. These reported eating disorders, hazing incidents and general selfesteem issues are not unique to the Greek community, she said.
"I guess the worst part is that it's going to turn people off before they get a chance to make up their minds on their own," Jardon said. "There's enough anti-greek sentiment going around that we don't need more fuel for the fire."

RECRUITING
Top recruit joins Oregon
The 6-foot-6 Hairston, who played at Renaissance High School, announced yesterday his intentions to play basketball at the University of Oregon next season. Hairston said Tuesday night that the final two schools on his list were Kansas and Oregon. Kansas was seen a front-runner for the No. 7 ranked recruit in the nation from the start.

nation from the start.
"It was tough," said Hairston yesterday to the Lawrence Journal-World. "It's a great situation at Kansas. Kansas is a great program. They have a great coach in Bill Self. They'll have a lot of success regardless of the recruits.
As for Kansas, Self still has two open scholarships for next season. The most likely candidates for those spots are Alex Galindo, a 6-foot-7 small forward from St. Benedict's Prep in Newark, N.J., and C.J. Giles, a 6-foot-11 power forward from Rainier Beach High School in Seattle, Wash. Galindo told Rivals.com he had a good visit to Lawrence this past weekend, and Giles has Kansas high on his short list after getting his release from a commitment to Miami University.
I wish them the best of luck."
Hairston said it was a tough decision for the entire family. His dad favored Kansas, he favored Michigan and his mother favored Oregon. The swinger will fill a large void for the Ducks. Hairston will most likely replace senior Luke Jackson, who led Oregon in March to the National Invitational Tournament semifinals in New York City.

The Kansas softball team used its seniors as it defeated Texas Tech handily 5-1 yesterday, and then narrowly lost to Texas A&M, 1-0.
Kansas' record is now 32-27-1 and 1-1 in the double-elimination Big 12 Conference Tournament. Texas A&M is 32-18, 1-0 in the Tournament. Texas Tech and Kansas faced each other in a play-in game to determine which team would join the six top-ranked teams in the regular tournament. Kansas' victory ejected the Lady Raiders from the tournament.

Forget the peanuts, buy me alcohol
Attendance at Hoglund Ballpark, the home of Kansas' baseball team, compared to other college baseball parks has always been a bit off.
Each Jayhawk home game draws only a couple hundred fans while Nebraska, Baylor, Southwest Missouri State and Stanford all average more than 4,000 fans per game.
A simple solution to this problem would be to sell alcohol at home baseball games.
NCAA bylaw 31.1.14 titled, "Restricted Advertising and Sponsorship Activities" restricts the advertisement, sales and promotion of alcoholic beverages during NCAA governed championship events. This bylaw covers only NCAA governed events, so it is up to the institutional policies that govern each facility to determine whether or not alcohol should be sold during regular season and nonchampionship games. To make it simple, if the University of Kansas would like to sell alcohol at Hoglund, the NCAA will not stop them.
D. J. Whetter, P.A. announcer at Hoglund Ballpark, fully supports the sales of alcoholic beverages at home games.
Some may argue that selling alcohol at baseball games may create an unsafe environment or could lead to rowdy crowds. When was the last time you saw a fight break out in the bleachers or a riot erupt after a baseball game? These problems with drunk fans may exist with the NFL and in soccer matches in England, but it's not a problem with baseball.
Take for example baseball's championship series. These games are about as intense as it gets for Major League Baseball fans. Even when the notorious Steve Bartman interfered with a ball in the midst of drunken fans at Wrigley Field and potentially cost the Cubs the pennant and the World Series, there was no riot in the stadium. Not a single person was injured. Plain and simple, alcohol induced violence is not a problem at baseball games.
Kansas should follow in-state opponent Wichita State and sell alcohol at home games. The only direction attendance could go is up.
games." "I think you'd definitely get more fans at the ballpark," Whetter said. "There's nothing better than a hot dog and a beer at a baseball game."
Selling beer would also allow Kansas to have bigger and better marketing promotions. The crowd this season at quarter hot dog night exceeded a thousand. Selling alcohol could possibly have this effect on the crowd for every home game.
Allowing students to drink at Hoglund could draw in new fans that stay away from games because they can't have a cold beer on a hot day. Just ask anyone on the deck of The Crossing, 618 W. 12 St., if they like to have a beer during a nice afternoon.
Besides drawing bigger crowds, the sale of alcohol at baseball games could generate much needed revenue for the program. Hoglund Ballpark's electronic scoreboard does not even function, and improved attendance could possibly generate money to help with these sorts of problems.

Reporting memories will be cherished
All of the graduating senior sportswriters are typically asked to write a column reminiscing on everything that has happened the past four-plus years.
This year, I am one of the two seniors leaving, and it is difficult to think about what to write.
sports commentary
It's been a crazy four years in the world of Kansas sports. We've seen three athletics directors, new football, basketball and baseball coaches and the end of men's swimming and diving and tennis
There's been the retiring of the legendary Marian Washington, the end of a legacy in Roy Williams and great coaching hires around the board. As a writer for the Kansan for two years, I've had the privilege of covering most of these events and meeting a lot of these coaches. While the athletics budget isn't quite up to par with many of the Big 12 Conference schools, the one thing that can be said about the Kansas athletics department is that it has made fantastic hires.
With all of the confusion and changing, it would be easy to be lost in the scuffle, but that was simply not the case. Mark Mangino and Bill Self were excellent hires who will show their true values in the next few years. Ritch Price is a great person and will have the baseball team competing in the

Big 12 Tournament in no time
Big I2 Routtman Bonnie Henrickson is personable and should excel in Lawrence.
I started as intramural and club sports reporter, which is one of the toughest beats on campus. There is no shortage of teams or events which need coverage or simply want a little bit of exposure.
After that, it was on to sports administration, and Spring 2002 was a heckuva time to start. After a fairly slow semester, Al Bohw was fired and Williams left all within a week's time. Lew Perkins was hired over the summer. He has done an outstanding job reconstructing the department and searching for a plan.
In the fall, I became the Big 12 Conference football reporter, and I've been there ever since. It has been a dream come true, and not many people get a chance to do all of the things I've done in college. I've been everywhere from press row for a match-up of two top-five
basketball teams, to Orlando at the Tangerine Bowl with Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit. I've had interviews with amazing coaches, recruiting gurus and first-round NFL Draft picks. And I've met so many great people along the way. Doug Vance, Mason Logan and Beau White were all easy sports people to work with and all did everything they could to make sure I had everything I needed. Bo Carter at the Big 12 was also a great help.
But it's the people who you interview that you really get to know. Clark McCracken and Prentice Gautt are fantastic human beings who stand for everything that is right about sports. Mangino has an excellent sense of humor at times and tells some funny recruiting stories.
I'd like to give a shout out to Keith Langford for being such a good sport about writing columns and being a great interview. Keith is an intelligent person and symbolizes a true student-athlete.
But in the end, it's about writing to you, the readers of The University Daily Kansan. The Kansan tries to have its finger on the pulse of the KU community, and it does its job. It is always nice to hear back from the readers, so try to take a more active role in making the Kansan your paper.
I've gotten e-mails that were supportive, and I've gotten some that were not so nice, such as one cleverly titled "Dear bag of douche."
As aspiring writers, we appreciate all of them, even the ones bashing our opinions. They help us know what to work on and let us know that somebody is actually reading.
If there's one thing about us sportswriters, we love to talk sports. If you have questions, ask them. If you disagree, let us know. That is the part about writing that is like being an athlete — putting yourself out there. When a player misses a dunk, we curse and swear at them for playing badly. When you read something in the Kansan, the writers either get hate mails, or if you're Ryan Greene, a call to the Free for All. P.S., guys, he's not that bad.
Become more involved in the product. And if you have an opinion, apply for the Kansan staff. We're always looking for new staff members to replace old fogies like me.
The past four years were a whirlwind of memories that I'll never forget.
Flaherty is a Lenexa senior in journalism.
Thank you for reading.
The Associated Press
Missouri confirms pay accusations
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Tony Harvey, top assistant to Missouri basketball coach Quin Snyder, confirmed yesterday that he is accused by the NCAA of giving former player Ricky Clemons $250.
Harvey denied the allegation.
Harry doesn't have I "have not given Ricky any money, period," he told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
Harvey, 37, also confirmed that Snyder suspended him with pay until the NCAA proceedings, which could last into this fall, are finished.
The NCAA alleged members of the Missouri basketball staff repeatedly broke its rules. The university redacted, or blacked out, names of employees before releasing the 19-page notice of allegations to reporters on Tuesday.
But Harvey acknowledged that he was accused of giving cash to Clemons, a troubled point guard who played a single season at Missouri before being booted from the team last summer amid personal legal problems.
personally engage Harvey said that he found the allegation "amazing," since "I never recruited Clemons. I didn't have anything to do with him."
In an interview yesterday with the Columbia Daily Tribune, Harvey was also critical of Clemons: "From day one, when he stepped on campus, we didn't see eye to eye. Everyone knew we despised each other. The only thing I ever gave him was havoc."
Clemons was recruited by another Snyder assistant, Lane Odom, who is also implicated in some of the NCAA allegations.
On Tuesday, after the NCAA allegations were made public by Missouri, Odom resigned effective immediately, saying he was pursuing"other opportunities."
Harvey and Odom have retained the same attorney, Stu Brown, who said yesterday that both are cooperating with the NCAA. Brown declined to discuss specifics of the allegations.
In media interviews, Clemons and his ex-girlfriend, Jessica Bunge, have asserted the athlete was paid by Missouri coaches. Clemons now lives in North Carolina. His attorney did not immediately return calls yesterday from the AP.
Several media outlets have reported that Harvey won't return to the Missouri sidelines.
return to Harvey told the AP, "I'm not looking for other employment."

I made the mistake of listening to someone when I was a freshman who told me only people in School of Journalism could write for the paper.
Join the 'Kansan' staff, make a difference
I only spent a year with the Kansan.
Someone once told me that 90 percent of what you hear from another student is not true; find out things on your own.
The kansan is not a perfect paper. There are plenty of things wrong with it. There are mistakes every day, not everything on campus is covered correctly and not every story is written with professional quality.
That saying proved true to me; you don't have to be in the journalism school to write for the Kansan. But in this case, listen to what I have to say.

And the year I've spent on the Kansan has been great. When I landed the beat of the women's volleyball team, I was excited.

But it is run about as well as it can be by students who want to make a difference.
The team had a great season last year and was poised to go to the NCAA volleyball tournament this year. It did just that, and this meant I went to Malibu, Calif., on a two-day trip to cover the tournament. The

women were great to work with, and the trip gave me my first experience of regularly covering a sport.
like the paper, that is more of a reason to join the staff. It doesn't require being in the School of Journalism. It requires having something to say that people want to hear.
I was also on the editorial board, something I was looking forward to more than anything. But covering basketball, my other outside job, and preparing for graduation allowed me little time to write on as many topics as I would have liked. There were plenty of controversial issues I wanted to write about, but never did.
So my advice to anyone who has anything on their mind or anything they want to see covered is to write for the Kansan. Even if you don't

Donor invests millions to build arena
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A company controlled by Philip Anschutz, the intensely private Denver billionaire who owns part of the Los Angeles Lakers and several teams in Major League Soccer, plans to invest $50 million to help build a new downtown arena, Mayor Kay Barnes said yesterday.
say yesterday.
The Los Angeles-based Anschutz Entertainment Group has also promised to use its contacts within the NBA and NHL to lure a franchise from one of the leagues to Kansas City to act as the arena's major tenant, said company vice president Timothy Leiweke.
LEIWEK. "I can assure you that there will be an anchor tenant," Leiweke said. "We have had conversations specifically with those leagues' franchises. I don't think there's a better time to get involved with a National Hockey League team than now."
Anschutz Entertainment Group's other holdings include Los Angeles' Staples Center arena and the NHL's Los Angeles Kings.
The $225-250 million arena will be called the Sprint Center, after the suburban Overland Park, Kan.-based telecommunications firm, which has agreed to purchase naming rights of the 18.500 to 20.000 seat arena. Terms of the naming deal are still under discussion, said Gary Forsee, Sprint Corp.'s chairman and chief executive.
Barnes said the arena would be designed to include retail shops and restaurants that would be open even when the arena is not hosting an event.
The National Association of Basketball Coaches will also invest $10 million in the project and move its headquarters from Overland Park to the facility and open a college basketball hall of fame on site.
Private contributions will cover nearly half of the arena's total cost. The rest will come from assorted tax credits and license fees, including a $1.50 per occupied room per day hotel fee and $4 per day fee on rental cars.
Barnes said the project wouldn't break ground until voters approved those two new fees, which would appear on the August ballot.
"So far, these years of effort for a new arena have been a marathon," Barnes said. "But now, we're going to sprint to the finish line."
Barnes said the city would accept design proposals from mid-June until mid-August.
A consortium of several Kansas City-based sports architecture firms—including HOK Sport+Venue+Event and Ellerbe Becket Inc.—have said they planned to bid for the arena's design contract. Also
expected to bid is a group led by world-renown architect Frank Gehry.
Anschutz, a Kansas native who hasn't given an in-depth interview in decades, is a graduate of the University of Kansas and the founder of Denver-based Qwest Communications International Inc.
The new arena would replace 30-year-old Kemper Arena, which is located in the old stockyards area west of downtown.
For years the exclusive site of the Big Eight and, later, the Big 12 basketball tournaments, Kemper also hosted the NCAA Final Four in 1988.
The Big 12 men's basketball tournament will return to Kemper Arena next year, and Barnes had said plans for a new arena would be in place before league officials to weigh bids for the future postseason basketball tournaments.

Organization, University team up for fundraising
Former MLB umpire raises money for paralysis research The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Steve Palermo, the baseball umpire partially paralyzed by a shooting in 1991, has found a new outlet for his efforts to help fund research on spinal cord injuries.
Palermo has raised more than $3 million during the past decade for research, with much of the money from his Steve Palermo Foundation for Spinal Cord Injuries going to the National Paralysis Foundation.
Since that organization closed in July, Palermo had been looking for another way to continue his work, one he's now found with the University of Kansas.

is different, but we'll be doing basically the same thing," Palermo told The Kansas City Star. "We didn't work all these years to make all these relationships to help all these people, and then just let it all die."
Mike Wall, vice president for medical development with the Endowment Association, said Palermo and his family would help raise funds to further research projects at The University of Kansas Hospital and the University of Kansas School of Medicine.
Medicine. "We're very excited about this partnership." Wall said of the venture with the new Steve Palermo Endowment for Spinal Cord Injury, Research and Education. "We're already the only facility in the area that can deliver these things. With the Palermos on board, our program will grow even further in
He said the University's research center was one of about a dozen around the nation.
stature."
"We would like to take our research in basic science and translate that to clinical trials, new drugs or stem cell research to regenerate the damaged nerves," said Paul Armold, the neurosurgery professor who directs the center. "The discoveries we think we can make in the lab will translate into treatment for patients with spinal cord injuries."

Palermo, 54, was a member of an American League umpiring team when he was shot in Dallas in July 1991. Leaving a restaurant with friends after a game, he was shot when he tried to come to help two women who were being mugged.
A neurosurgeon thought he would never walk again, but he made progress through therapy.
Imperialism to face off against Smarty Jones in Preakness Stakes
Trainer enters colt after convinced of potential victory
The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — Kristin Mulhall wasn't all that excited about bringing her horse Imperialism across the country to take on Smarty Jones again in the Preakness Stakes.
ness Stakes.
After Imperialism finished third behind Smarty in the Kentucky Derby, the plan was to return home to Hollywood Park and get ready for another run at the undefeated colt in the Belmont Stakes on June 5.
So much for planning. Imperialism was training great. Derby replays showed that the colt had a tough trip. Owner Steve Taub and jockey Kent Desormeaux convinced the trainer her horse had a chance to win the 1/3-16-mile Preakness on Saturday.
When it comes to Smarty Jones, though, Mulhall isn't so sure defeat is imminent.
succeed Imperialism was strong at the end of the 1/1-4-mile Derby after being clipped by a horse on the first turn and slowed by another along the backstretch.
He finished six lengths behind the winner, but even if Imperialism's patented closing kick moved him close to the leader, Smarty Jones "had another gear and would have taken off again,"
Mulhall said.
A field of 11 3-year-olds was entered yesterday, including Derby runner-up Lion Heart. The Cliff's Edge (fifth), Borrego (10th) and Song of the Sword (11th) are other Derby runners back for another shot.
Eddington and Rock Hard Ten colts who missed the Derby because they didn't have enough graded-stakes earnings, top the new challengers. Eddington was third in the Wood Memorial; Rock Hard Ten finished second in the Santa Anita Derby but was disqualified to third for interference
The newcomers are Derby Trial winner Sir Shackleton, Tesio Stakes winner Water Cannon, and Little Matth Man.

Brokaw stepping back
NEW YORK — Tom Brokaw is leaving the anchor chair but not NBC. He signed a 10-year contract yesterday to remain at the network, largely to produce and narrate documentaries.
The Associated Press
Brokaw, 64, is stepping down as anchor of NBC's Nightly News on Dec. 1, and will be replaced in that role by Brian Williams.
"To a lot of people that meant I was going to sit around in an old anchorman's home with a lap robe and a drool cup." Brokaw told The Associated Press. "But I never intended to stop working."
He's been an NBC employee since 1966, starting as a reporter at the network's Los Angeles affiliate. Brokaw has been sole anchor of Nightly News since 1983 and NBC's main anchor on major news events.
Brokaw will be the first of the broadcast networks' Big Three with Peter Jennings of ABC and Dan Rather of CBS — to leave that role. All three have been in place for more than two decades.
he already regularly produces documentaries, and said he has
"I wrote four books in four years, doing my day job,and produced two or three documentaries a year."
Tom Brokaw
Anchor for NBC's Nightly News
four in the works now: on health care, politics, D-Day and a hiker who lost his arm.
NBC's merger with Universal completed yesterday, gives Brokaw more outlets. The network already owns CNBC MSNBC and Bravo, and will add networks like USA and Trio to its stable.
The author of The Greatest Generation, about the people who fought World War II, Brokaw plans to continue his writing career. He wouldn't talk about future book projects.
"I wrote four books in four years, doing my day job, and produced two or three documentaries a year," he said. "I just don't want to do that again."
him more personal flexibility if, for instance, he wants to teach at a college for a month or so.
He'll also be an analyst on major breaking news events, the network said.
Brokaw said the first thing he's planning after Dec. 1 is to skip town, in part to give Williamstime to establish himself. An avid hiker, Brokaw is taking a trip to the South American region of Patagonia.
The South Dakota native has a second home in Montana, equipped with a soundproof room where he can record voiceovers for his documentaries.
NBC News has a tradition of locking up its big names to longterm contracts; Meet the Press host Tim Russert, for example, is signed through the 2012 election.
By signing a deal that keeps him at NBC through 2014, he would not be able to run for office on a national ticket until, say, 2016. Brokaw had been mentioned as a potential vice presidential candidate, talk that bemused him.
"I'm running for cover, not for office," he said.
U.S. imports Korean show
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — J.P. Paulus is Dutch-Indonesian, and had no exposure to Asian culture while growing up. So how did he become a fan and promoter of Korean television drama?
The reason:a devastating courtesan and concubine named Chang Nok Soo.
while attending Northwestern University nearly a decade ago, Paulus got hooked on the legendary beauty's story.
When Chang Nok Soo aired in 1995, it was the year's top-ranked dramatic show in South Korea. But even with English subtitles, the chronicle of medieval court intrigue in Korea was hardly noticed in the United States.
Now he's part of a small but growing U.S. fan base for South Korean serial TV dramas, which are so popular in their native country that the military recently sent several series to Iraq to preserve the morale of Korean troops stationed there.
Paulus, now 31 and the financial officer of Chicago's Uptown Baptist Church, was among the few. (He said he began watching Chang Nok Soo because he was curious about the culture of Korean-born friends he met in a campus Christian group.)
Korean dramas also reach hundreds of millions of daily viewers in China, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia. The Seoul government estimates that 200,000 Asian tourists visited South Korea last year to see the studios and locations where the shows were shot.
Most fans say they came upon the programs while flipping channels.
U. S. audiences for Korean television drama are small, but vocal and devoted.
Bo Brown, a legal secretary from suburban Chicago, didn't even know what language the actors were speaking when she happened across a family drama on WOCH, but the scene's emotional intensity drew her in.
She's now an addict and vastly prefers the shows to American soaps.

fifth seasons, respectively.
NEW YORK — Fans of the three "Law & Order" shows can look forward to more—and No.4.
An agreement between NBC and producer Dick Wolf, announced yesterday, includes pickups through 2005-06 for Wolf's current series, Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order: Criminal Intent, extending them through their 16th, seventh and
And it makes official the fourth entry in the franchise, Law & Order: Trial by Jury, which will premiere at an unspecified time during the 2004-05 season. Previously, Jerry Orbach, a longtime star of the original Law & Order, was announced as a transfer to the new series, which is described as "a richly textured drama set entirely in the arena of the courthouse."
Continuing Law & Order stars
include Sam Waterston and Jesse L. Martin. Christopher Meloni and Richard Belzer are among the Special Victims Unit regulars, and Vincent D'Onofrio stars on Criminal Intent.
All four dramas are filmed in New York.
The series all share a law-enforcement orientation and a gritty, New York look—as well as narration broken up by title cards and a trademark "ba-bing" sound effect.
HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (May 13)
Your association with an association brings out many of your skills. It's nice to be popular, but the trouble is, you spread yourself too thin. When you notice that your family is holling for more of your attention, you'll know that it's time to give up the glitz and get back to basics.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 5.
Ponder the possibilities and decide what's most important. If the choice is between freedom and security, what will you choose? Remember that there's no security without freedom. Keep up the good work.
Meetings go well, except for the part where you're divying up the money. That could cause problems and lead to hurt feelings. Approach the subject with caution.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is on 8
Today is an 8.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
If you keep smiling when the going gets tough, it shows you have strength of character. Don't get mad even if you have the right to be angry. Be gracious — it's more compelling.
Today is a 5.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is an 8.
Today is an 8.
If you don't get to do what you want, don't let it hurt your feelings. There's probably a good reason to wait; you just can't see what it is at the moment. Meanwhile, prepare for tomorrow.
Your partner may be concerned about the time you spend away, or the time you spend focusing on your job instead of on his or her worries. It doesn't have to be one or the other. Listen attentively.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 5.
Don't take love for granted, and don't ask favors of a person who's already under pressure. The mark of a good leader is to know when to push harder and when to let your team rest. The latter looks like the better option now.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 5
You have a strong preference for artistic endeavors. Actually, anything you get into tends to turn out to be an artistic endeavor.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is an 8
It would be nice to give your loved ones everything they want, but is that wise? For one thing, you can't afford it, and for another, you'd
spoil them rotten. Let them learn the joys of delayed gratification.
It's still hard for you to focus on what has to be done. You're usually good at this, but you're just not in the mood. You'd rather follow butterflies, and that could get you into trouble.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 9.
A person you care deeply about is in a snit. He or she won't go along with your agenda. The big changes this person wants to make would be OK, except you're expected to do all the work. Plead for a compromise.
A special treat you want to get for a loved one, or one that he/her wants to get for you, may have to be postponed for a while. They say waiting makes the prize sweeter when you finally get it. Or, you might decide that you don't really want it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 5.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 5.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is an 8.
Watch out for hurt feelings, both yours and someone else's. A silly misunderstanding could get you both in a dither. Be the first to say you're sorry.

Queen of the javelin
1984
Andrea Bulat, Lawrence resident, practiced javelin throwing yesterday evening in preparation for the Olympic trials, which will be hosted in Canada. Bulat was practicing with the Kansas assistant track coach, Doug Reynolds, and is recuperating from a back injury. "My first goal is to get back into competing," Bulat said.
The No. 25-ranked Kansas men's golf team was invited to participate in the NCAA Central Regional tournament at Purdue on May 20-22.

The Jayhawks received a number eight seed in a 27-team field at Purdue's Birch Boilermaker Golf Complex. Oklahoma State will enter the tournament as the number one seed, while Texas will enter as the number two seed.
The Longhorns are coming off of a Big 12 Conference Championship win in Hutchinson. Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas Tech, Kansas State, Baylor, and Texas A&M will also be representing the Big 12 in the Regionals tournament.
GOLF: No. 8 seed favors Kansas at tournament
Randall said. "Being the eighth seed is a direct reflection of the quality of golf we have played during the spring season. We hope we play well in the regional and show that we deserved the number eight seed. If we play good, solid golf, we should be in contention to make it to the NCAA finals."
"We are very happy with our seeding heading into the NCAA Regional," head coach Ross
The last time KU golf was in action was at the Big 12 Conference Championship. The Jayhawks finished in a tie for fifth.
Kansas's starting lineup for Regionals will likely include senior Tyler Hal, Wayne, N.J., juniors Kevin Ward, Leawood, and Price, Lake Forest, Ill., and freshmen Tyler Docking Olathe, and Gary Woodland Berryton.
Purdue's Boilermaker Golf Complex contains two golf courses: The Ackerman Hills
"She has been throwing very well for us, for the last week," Tracy Bunge, Kansas softball coach, said. "I thought that we'd stick with her as long as she was pitching well."

Course and the Kampen Course, which will hold the NCAA Regionals.
There are three regional tournaments taking place throughout the country. The top-10 finishers in each of these tournaments will be invited to participate in the NCAA Finals in Hot Springs, Va., at The Homestead course. The finals will take place June 1-4.

Tomorrow's game will be available via LiveStats, which can be accessed from www.kuathletics.com. A loss would end the team's tournament run, while a victory would mean Kansas would play a game against the loser of the Nebraska-Texas A&M game. Kansas defeated Nebraska twice this season.

ARE YOU AN AMERICAN STUDENT PAYING NON-RESIDENT TUITION?
The Governor of Kansas is about to sign legislation to offer resident tuition worth more than S7,200 a year to certain undocumented aliens.
Students who oppose illegal immigration and unfair discrimination against Americans can join a lawsuit being prepared to challenge this unlawful decision and protect your rights.
To offer this benefit to illegal aliens is discriminatory under federal law unless all enrolled U.S. citizens are offered resident tuition rates, including all out-of-state American students.
You can help. If you are a United States citizen who will enroll as a full-time non-resident student at any Kansas public university in 2004-2005, please leave a message at (877) 627-3247 or email kansastuition@yahoo.com to receive full information.

5/13 Thurs. Time of Your Life
Party like there's no school tomorrow. Start your evening off at the Spencer Student Party at the Spencer Museum of Art, 1301 Mississippi St. Enjoy free food, KJHK DJs, prizes and some crazy art from the museum's exhibit "The Painting Over the Sofa (That's Not Neccessarily a Painting)." Doors open at 6 p.m. and everything is free, free, free. Then, relive your high school glory days at Just Like Heaven: The Spring Prom. Technically, this event is just like Neon: It's at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., it starts at 9 p.m., DJs Cruz and Konsept will be mixing and the same, super 75-cent draws will be in full effect. But this, ladies and gents, is a formal event. Show off your best '80s suits and gowns and mingle with the big-haired beautiful people. Ladies get in free until 11 p.m. Depending on age and sex it'll cost you between $1 to $5 to attend.
5/14 Fri.
Shimomura Sunset
It's not a drink, it's a retirement party. Roger Shimomura, a Japanese-American artist who has taught at the University of Kansas for 35 years, is retiring. Instead of doing a small farewell with students and faculty, Shimomura is having a retirement party at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St., and it's free. The party starts at 8 p.m., is open to the public and is an all ages event. There will be various pieces of Shimomura's art on display to commemorate his time at the University. The night also features performances by former students, DJs, cake and champagne. To top it off, there will also be a cash bar. If music smooth as silk is more your style, then your best bet is to catch R&B/hip-hop goddess Mary J. Blige perform with soul-child Musiq at the Starlight Theatre, 4600 Starlight Rd. in Kansas City, Mo., starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from $29.75 to $55.75 depending on your seating preference, but the cost more than guarantees being blown away by these two vocal powerhouses.

5/15 Sat. Rocking Review
If you find yourself waking up early after all that stop day, er, studying head to Kansas City for the first-ever Burlesque Car Wash and Punk Rock Asphalt Junkyard Sale. Get your ride scrubbed by members of Rushin' Roulettes Burlesque Crew while you paw through the best yard sale this side of the Mississippi River. The sale starts at 7 a.m. and the car wash at 10 a.m. The fun takes place in the parking lot of the El Torreon Ballroom, 3101 Gillham Plaza, Kansas City, Mo. Then, get ready for finals by rocking out at Burcham Park, 2nd and Indiana Streets, at 1 p.m. as lawrencerock.com presents the Finals Week Festival. The festival will feature enough bands to distract you from studying, including local bands Kelpie, the Minus Story and This Building is Cursed, plus national touring bands such as Despite, Asschapel and Fork Knife Spoon. The festival costs $7 and the anti-violence coalition Food Not Bombs will provide munchies.
5/17 Mon.
(Fake) Bloody Hell!
The self-proclaimed Scumdogs of the Universe, GWAR, are invading their favorite Lawrence venue, the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., once again. As usual, everything will be covered in plastic to defend against the gallons of fake blood and other bodily fluids that will hit the crowd. Our advice: wear clothes that you can't sell to Arizona Trading Company, are too lazy to take to Goodwill but feel too bad to throw away — you will walk away as slimey as a newborn baby by the end of the night. The show starts at 8 p.m. and it's all-ages, which might a good thing — you can bring a younger sibling in case a virgin sacrifice is needed to appease the metal gods. Cost is $16 through Ticketmaster, or $17.50 through the Granada box office.
5/16 Sun.
The Great Outdoors
5/18 Tues. Fore!!!
For those of you who would die to get on The Apprentice and can't wait to buy your own Callaway clubs, indulge in some affluent fun with the NAIA National Men's Golf Tournament. Come and gather around the grassy knolls of the scenic Prairie Highlands Golf Course, 14695 S. Inverness St. in Olathe. It's completely free and you can watch 144 of the top golfers in America and Canada swing away their meaningless, upper-middle class existences. And by that we mean compete for a golfing prize. It probably includes cash of some sort and a big garish trophy. The morning wave starts at 8 a.m., so you'll have to get up early. But then again, you'll have to get used to it if you ever want to make something of yourself.
Weather.com says it'll be 75 degrees today, so get your nose out of the books and get outside. We recommend heading over to Sandstone Ampitheatre, 633 130th St., Bonner Springs, (only loosers call it Verizon Wireless) to bask in the sun and absorb the tunes of Blink 182 and Cypress Hill. Tickets are $32 and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. If you really think you need some extra study time before Monday, skip the show, but still take your books outside Our favorite sunny study spots: the Spooner Hall garden, corner of 14th Street and Jayhawk Boulevard; the 5th floor balcony of the Kansas Union; the gazeebo in South Park at 12th and Massachusetts Streets, and down by the riverside in Burcham Park, 2nd and Indiana Streets.
5/19 Wed.
Some Like it Hard
Get ready to rock out. The Kansas City Rock and Metal Fest is tonight starting at 7. Grab your favorite AC/DC shirt and some hairspray, then head on down to the Beaumont Club, 4050 Pennsylvania St., Kansas City, Mo., where the party begins. Five clubs and 30 bands will participate in this year's event. The concert is only $6, admitting you to see every band at America's Pub, 510 Westport Rd., Beaumont Club, Blayney's of Westport, 415 Westport Rd., The Hurricane, 4048 Broadway St., and Westport Coffee House. You must be 21 or older to enter, except at Beaumont Club and Westport Coffee House, 4010 Pennsylvania Ave. Rock on, dude!

Goodbye gas guzzlers, hello hybrids
Photo Illustrations: Jeff Brandsted
Tired of high gas prices? Get in line for the environmentally friendly alternative.
By Ashley Marriott,
Jayplay writer
PIONEER
"My car gets 50 miles to the gallon." Not a phrase you're used to hearing? With the growing popularity of the hybrid car by celebrities and city workers alike, this phrase may be making its way into every day conversation.
Hybrids, which run on two or more sources of power, combine efforts of a smaller gas tank, periodic engine shut off at stoplights and aerodynamics to lower gas fumes emitted into the air. Take a look and see how the cars are performing:
The Student Perspective
When Cooper Wood, Topeka junior, needed a new car two years ago, he decided to go with the Toyota hybrid, the Prius. He says his aunt already had one and it just made sense to go with an eco-friendly vehicle. "I've always been a green kind of kid. My mom said with this car I don't need a bumper sticker to prove it," he says.
A hybrid car can cost $4,000 more than a regular sedan ($20,000 for a Toyota Camry), which may be a burden on students, but Wood says he received a one-time $2,000 tax break. He bought his car as a program vehicle, a car that has already been leased by a dealer, which also decreased the price.
Another cost saver is obviously the one in gas. According to hybridcars.com, hybrids save the owner $300 in gas per year. In Wood's case, he saves approximately $240 per year, filling his 12-gallon tank once a month for about $20.
Even though all of this money saving sounds tempting, Greg Seaman, writer for earthy.com, says the biggest turn-off for students from the
hybrid is the limited choice in car models. He says the available features aren't compatible with student life." In general, the cars are not designed for moving lots of furniture, as students often require," Seaman says.
The City Perspective
Drive around town and you may notice that Lawrence is starting to go hybrid. Steve Stewart, garage manager for the city of Lawrence, says the city purchased one Prius in 2001 and another two last year to replace its older cars.
Stewart says the cars, which are driven by two environmental inspectors and one city hall employee, get about 40 miles to the gallon. "They cost more to buy, but in the first four years, they will pay for the difference," he says.
Stewart says because the city replaces cars as they are needed, it is not planning to purchase any more hybrid cars in the near future. But when the time comes, he says the city will be happy to buy more.

WESTBURGH SYSTEM
Buv Me?
So are you now ready to run down to your local car dealership and sign on the dotted line? Not so fast. Because of the hybrid's ever-growing popularity, there's a six-month waiting list to buy one of these environmentally friendly vehicles. However, this could change as other car manufacturers quickly jump on the hybrid bandwagon.
The only hybrids that are currently on the market are the Prius, the Honda Civic and the Honda Insight, but the first American-made hybrid is scheduled to hit the market this summer. Ford is releasing the Escape, the first hybrid SUV, and it will get 30 miles to the gallon. According to hybridcars.com, General Motors and Dodge are both expected to release hybrid pick-up trucks and Lexus is also coming out with an SUV later this year. The site says that Chevrolet, Mercedes and Saturn are also developing its own models.

hitch + moan
By Elizabeth Blasco and Chris Tackett
Q
[Advice so wise, you'll need a few months to let it soak in.]
Lately, when my girl and I have sex, she tells me to "degrade the if" "k out of myself." I don't know what she wants me to do. I'm scared to ask her, because she's so serious about it. Help!
David, sophomore
a
Elizabeth: If you allow your girlfriend to take control, she will assume that you like it. If you don't want to talk to her about the fact that this bothers you, she will probably continue.
**Chris:** The way people behave intimately usually has a strong correlation to how the rest of the relationship is. I bet she's very controlling. If you're not cool with being controlled, let her know. But if you are, you should tell her, "I'm your bitch, and I suck at life!" because you are and you do.
Q
When my girlfriend gets aroused she starts biting me! It hurts and I don't really know how to tell her to stop. Any suggestions?
Bill, junior
a
Elizabeth: Just show her the bite marks, and she'll get the picture. Tell her that although you like to get her hot, you don't enjoy the biting. If she is unable to stop, give her a pillow or something.
**Chris:** She isn't a baby that's teething, so I don't think the pillow will work. She's biting you to express how turned on she is. But Elizabeth is right, if she sees how hard she's really biting you, she'll probably tone it down a bit. Or call you a pussy.
Q
Do you have any advice for how to get some summer lovin'?
- Dude, sophomore
a
Elizabeth: If you want to hook up over the summer, plan on being really social. Try to go out a lot, and don't just frequent the same places either. That way you'll increase the odds of meeting potential "hook ups."
---
Chris: Dude, the most important thing for guys (myself included) to remember is that if you see someone you like, you have to go for it. If you ask someone out and they say no, don't be discouraged. It can always be worse. Every girl you like won't like you, but as long as a few do, life can be pretty sweet.

Launch your rocket into the wild blue yonder.
By Guillaume Doane, Jayplay writer
He chuckled to himself when I asked if he knew anything about rockets. I didn't know that Roger Miller had received a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Kansas. Miller, manager at George's Hobby House, 1411 W. 23rd St., races radio-controlled cars and aircrafts during his spare time. He is also a judge for the annual 4-H Club rocketry contest at the Lawrence Fairgrounds.
Miller taught me a little about rockets and helped me pick one out at his store to prepare me for the July 10 Kloudbusters rocket competition in Argonia.
Since 1991, the city of Argonia, about an hour southwest of Wichita, has hosted a series of high-powered rocket contests on a 40-acre launch site. Contestants from across the country meet on the site, which boasts a 25,000-foot Federal Aviation Administration clearance on air space. The Discovery Channel hosted last summer's event, which included contests for highest launch and a myriad of other competitions featuring unusual rockets, such as ones made out of Legos and Port-a-Potties.
I chose two rockets for this adventure: the Stars & Stripes Estes model rocket, which I bought from George's Hobby House, and a custom rocket primarily made out of beer cans. The Stars & Stripes rocket soars to a maximum distance of 600 feet with an optimum speed of about 200 feet per-second, not enough gusto to keep up with the rockets in Argonia. But the beer can rocket, with the right schematics and a functioning parachute, meets the standards of the minimum height competition. The rules of the contest state that the rocket must launch at a minimum altitude of 100 feet, deploy the parachute and land without exploding. The rocket with the lowest altitude, barring a successful parachute deployment and landing,takes the gold.
Miller says a rocket is a basically a finstabilized tube propelled by a solid fueled engine. While high-powered rockets—the ones employed in Argonia—use liquid fuel and include guidance systems, my rocket included an engine with a solid, black powder derivative. Miller sells all the supplies required to build a rocket. He also sells kits with all the parts included. Kit prices range from $10 to $50 depending on the complexity of rocket desired.
To build a custom rocket, here are the supplies you will need: All parts can be found at any local craft store.
Cardboard tubing.
+Paper tissues.
+Plastic cone that will fit into the card board tubing.
>Plastic fins that also will fit into the cardboard tubing.
>6-inch elastic shock cord.
Rocket base and test controller. Both can be bought in same package.
Wood glue.
+Plastic cement.
B class rocket engine and sulfur igniter.
Plastic launch lug line.
→Parachute or crepe paper — to slow fall

Tail Two KU students moonlight as wolves, and they're proud to be hairy. Spin

BELOW: Furries got back: Zach Thompson, Lawrence junior, and Alfred Ledgin, Overland Park junior, show off their tails. BOTTOM: A "Ledgin" in his own time: Alfred Ledgin, or "Frad the Wolf," is a Hashinger Hall celebrity.
Zach Thompson doesn't wear his tail every day — it could get dirty or smelly. But when one of Thompson's classes began discussing the philosopher René Descartes, who argued that a person could not tell if he was dreaming or awake, Thompson took his tail to class. Because there are few students with a gray-and-white fuzzy appendage trailing behind them, Thompson thought he might seem more like a dream than reality.
Thompson, Lawrence junior, who goes by Dire Wolf, is part of a growing group of people who identify with animals and choose to take on their characteristics. Furries, as they call themselves, are sort of extreme animal lovers. They identify with animals so much that they decide they are, in fact, a lot like them. But even though Thompson sees himself as a wolf, he knows his own species can sometimes
be critical of anything unusual — tails, for instance. "I'm always worried that people will get freaked out," Thompson says. "But everyone usually thinks it's cool and fuzzy."
Eric Stevens, a Furry from Omaha, Neb., who goes by the name Snap E. Tiger, defines Furries as fans of anthropomorphism. Anthropomorphism is giving an animal human characteristics. Furries are known for taking their normal human state and making it more animal-like — adding ears and a tail, for instance, and sometimes putting on a full-body Cursuit, which is more like a mascot costume than a biologically accurate replica. Stevens, who has been involved with the Furry community for six years, says his personal identification with tigers came from an intense love of the animals. As a kid, he would imagine himself as a beautiful, mysterious tiger lurking in the jungle. "Seeing a tiger made me smile, and helped me forget the troubles of the day," Stevens says. "I realized this, and immersed myself in everything 'tiger.'"
Alfred Lèdgin, Overland Park junior, is another local Furry. He lives in Hashinger Hall, where people know him as Fred the Wolf. People call in to the Free For All in The University Daily Kansan quite often to talk about him. He likes most of the attention, but hates it when people think he wears his animal parts just to get a reaction. To Ledgin, the animal parts are an expression of his inner self. "Of course, physically I am human," Ledgin says. "And that is fine. But, at the same time, I'm also a wolf."
To immerse himself, Stevens first started researching tigers scientifically. He wanted to know everything about them. He came upon a Furry Web site in 1999 and discovered he wasn't the only person who felt more animal than human. Now, Stevens owns eight pairs of orange-and-black shoes, a few fursuits and is a well-known Furry both on the Web and in Omaha. He says his mother couldn't be more proud, and calls him her "tiger son."
Ledgin says that not all Furries identify with furry animals. There are traditional Furries (humans who identify with animals such as foxes, wolves, tigers, raccoons and skunks), Scalies (think lizards, snakes and alligators) and Featheries (extreme bird lovers). There are even people who identify with imaginary animals (dragons and gryphons, for instance).
Being a Furry seems complicated, and it is. There is the small matter of wardrobe. It can be difficult to find a good spot to sit when you've got an extra appendage. Thompson, a computer science major, hopes to work in a professional environment someday, and he'll have to
leave his wolf gear at home. "No T-shirts, no jeans, no tail," Thompson says of the probable dress code. But for now, he's content with wearing it out on occasion. He admits he relishes the shock factor that comes with wearing a big fluffy tail to Oak Park Mall in Overland Park, as he is known to do. On one trip to the Nelson-Atkins
Museum of Art in Kansas City, Mo., he had to have his tail checked by an employee at security.
Thompson may get a hoot — or a howl, rather — out of freaking people out with his tail, but his friend Jacob Sewell, Lawrence resident, says that Dire isn't a typical Furry. Sewell thinks his friend's habits have more to do with his outgoing personality than his lupine persona. "Zach's the kind of person who walks into a room and sits down for five minutes trying to think of the one thing he can say that will freak out the most people," Sewell says. "And then he says it."
But despite Thompson's fun-loving antics, he gets a little upset when he thinks about the way the media has portrayed Furries. Both a MTV special on Furries and a Vanity Fair article focused on the sexual side of Furry culture. Because of this, the term Furry is associated with people in fursuits getting it on doggy, or kitty or even rabbit style at Furry conventions. Eric Stevens is quick to point out that rampant sex is an important part of most subculture conventions, just because it's not every day that you find another person that shares your fascination with an obscure topic. "It's a part of every lifestyle," Stevens says. "Even the trekkies have slip-slappin orgles at their conventions."
Ledgin knows that not everyone will understand his animal instincts. "I know a lot of people who identify themselves as Furries who understand it," Ledgin says. "And I know people who don't understand
it, and don't want to. There's nothing wrong with being human. I'm not one bit sad about being human. But I think it's common for people to wonder what else they can be."

ABOVE: Tori, a University of Kansas honor student, earns a living dancing at All Stars, 913 N. Second St., a strip club in North Lawrence. When tests are looming, her worlds collide.
By Kevin Kampwirth, Jayplay writer
Editor's Note: Because of the negative stigma associated with working in a strip club, the sources in this story requested that their last names not be used. While this normally isn't Jayplay policy, we feel this story is important enough to still be told.
It's Monday night, generally the only night she dances anymore. She sits in All Stars at one of the small, round tables that dot the 150-person capacity club at which she works. She's a tall, trim, attractive girl with a wry, all-too-knowing smile and shoulder-length russet hair that falls casually across her face when she moves her head, obscuring her oft doe-eyed expressions.
Meet Tori, a typical senior at the University of Kansas. Well, maybe not. Like other 22-year-old college students, Tori goes to school, works and tries to maintain a healthy social life. But, there's something about Tori that sets her apart. Maybe it's the fact that she's a National Merit Scholar and pre-med major who carries a 3.85 GPA. Or perhaps it's because she does this while working three jobs - one as a bartender, one as an office assistant and one as a stripper.
"I'm a dancer, not a stripper," she contends. "For dancers it's their job, something they do for the money. Strippers are the one's who really get into the lifestyle and all the pitfalls that can go along with it, the sex and drugs. That's not me."
Originally from the Lawrence-Kansas City area, Tori came to University as a freshman four years ago. Having moved out of her parent's house when she was 18, she had to pay her own way once she got to college. She discovered dancing after realizing that she wasn't making enough money with her other jobs to support herself. Tori was 19 years old when she decided to dance for the first time at Bada Bing's dance club in Lawrence, which today, is All Stars, 913 N. Second St.
She sits near the back and watches as another dancer finishes her routine. It's about 8:30 at night and among the eight or nine people currently in the club, only one
is a customer. "It usually picks up around ten," she says, showing no visible signs of worry. A petite, topple blonde girl makes her way off stage as the muddled opening piano of Eric Burdon's "Spill the Wine" suddenly kicks in over the speakers. Tori gets up and makes her way toward the stage.
When she first started, it took her about a month to become fully comfortable taking her clothes off in front of strangers. Now, any trace of the insecurity she once had is no longer present. She wears 4-inch black platform shoes, black bikini-style boy shorts and a black tank top as she walks up onto the 8-by-12 wooden stage. Grabbing the bronze pole in the middle of the platform, she starts her dance. Stools, which ideally would be filled, surround all sides of the stage. A thin aisle at both ends with two stairs allows the dancers to walk on and off. She finishes her dance and leaves the stage, minus the tank top, and another dancer takes her place.
Three years ago when she began, Tori would dance two or three nights a week, during each of which she would average about $300 in tips. She says there have been nights, though, that she's brought in more than $1,000. "I don't want to sound like a greedy, money-hungry person, but the money's really the reason I do it."
Along with jobs and school, she tries to keep up with her social life as much as possible. "The toughest part is finding time to go out and have fun," she says. "I'm single right now, so that's not really an issue." And how does Tori handle relationships? "I don't get involved with people who don't support what I do." The boyfriend she's had since she's been dancing have been supportive for the most part, so it hasn't been a problem. Things aren't always perfect, though. "I met one guy who's flunked out of school twice and is a bartender now, and he's giving me crap for what I do? It's that whole stupid stigma again."
Tori maintains that the stigma of the stripper lifestyle is what continues to perpetuate the notion that dancing is a bad thing. Dispelling this stereotype is precisely what she and many other dancers would like to do. Howard Ruppel, the academic dean at the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco, was involved with a recent study that
Again the s
took a group of college-aged dancers and a group of regular female college students and measured the sexual experience of each. "It turned out that the regular students were often times more sexually experienced than the dancers," Ruppel says. "People bring their stereotypically biased ideas to these types of places and little do they know that today gentlemen's clubs are just like any other fine-tuned business."
Ruppel adds that the sex and drugs that many people assume go hand in hand with the scene are also exaggerated. "There's lots of stereotypes out there, but the truth is that a good number of women are actually dancing just to supplement their income and nothing more. The long-term effects on girls like this are often minimal." Do drug abuse and prostitution sometimes exist? Sure, Ruppel says. But at not nearly the rate that most would assume.
This stigma is precisely what keeps her from telling her family. At odds with her parents for several years, Tori is now on somewhat better terms with them. "This, they just wouldn't understand though," she says. "They're the most conservative people in the world." She plays with a bracelet on her left wrist and glances off into the corner, something she does fairly often, as if waiting for something to appear.

It's his size that makes the first impression. At just over six feet, knocking in the neighborhood of 350 pounds, he walks out from behind a wall of tinted glass that lines the left side of the club. He talks into a microphone as he makes his way towards the bar. "All right guys, let's hear it for Star. She's just unbelievable, 'sn't she?" He wears baggy jeans, a white T-shirt depicting a scene from the movie Reservoir Dogs and a red hat tilted backwards that reads "Hustler" on it. He's known simply as Big Will, as the tattoo on his right arm makes quite clear.
Approaching 10 p.m., there are now about 10 customers in the club, all male. A few flank the
stage, while others are scattered among the tables or couches along the wall. Some watch a baseball game on one of the five TVs positioned throughout the room. Big Will walks among them, chats with them, makes sure everyone is comfortable and having a good time. He is, after all, the manager, emcee, DJ and overall heartbeat of the club. "I want people to get the feeling that when they come in here, they're gonna have a good time whether they want to or not," he says. "We're the Worlds of Fun of strip clubs."
He talks with his hands almost as much as he does with his mouth, often grabbing at the air when trying to make a point. "He's great," Tori says. "He's so protective of all the dancers and has helped me adapt really well since I started working here."
He sits down at a table near the bar that runs the length of the back wall. Four men walk in and take a table closer to the stage. One orders a Grey Goose on the rocks. Will sits and observes. He smiles incessantly. The dancers are encouraged to approach and sit down with the customers when they come in, something that creates a better rapport between the two parties will, ideally, lead to better tips when they dance. Will motions to one of the girls walking around. "Lemme teach you a little lesson in life," he says. "You see a guy walk in here and the first thing he does is order an expensive drink, don't look past him, sit down with him." She's
Again, it's the stigma that these girls, for the right price are all hookers.
a new girl, Will explains, grinning, and he's just trying to show her the ropes.
Within the environment of the club, Big Will is the coach, and in a way, the father figure. He frequently talks with the dancers when they're not performing; it doesn't necessarily have to be about work. "We all get along great," he says. "Like a big family." This family dynamic is exactly what keeps the business and the 30 or so
Sure, he admits, there are times when customers try to proposition the dancers for more than just dancing, but he makes it known that All Stars is not that type of club. "Again, it's the stigma that these girls, for the right price, are all hookers," he says. "Well, not here. These are girls that are just trying to make some extra money dancing and that's all they do." Tori walks up and sits down at the table. "Look at Tori. I've got one of the smartest girls on the KU campus
dancers at the club running so smoothly. And it is, in every sense of the word, a business. "I have the greatest job and the world and I love it," he says. "But lost in that is all the responsibility that goes along with it."
The club, he says, is run extremely well down to the last detail. Another stigma often associated with clubs such as All Stars is that they're a breeding ground for fights and prostitution. But, on a given night, Will contends that there's likely to be more fights at any other bar in town than at All Stars and that the club rarely has problems with customers.
working here, but do you think people would ever consider that? I'm in a business situation bad, but I work with professionals, not amateurs."
The dancers at All Stars, about 10 of who are currently in school, range from 20 to 35 years old. The club employs girls of all shapes and sizes because, as Will puts it, every customer is different and has certain things they want to see. He says that their clientele ranges in age from 18 to 65, but that most of the good money comes from older guys. "College guys do come in quite often," he says. "But let's face it. Most of them are probably thinking 'why pay here for what I could go get at The Hawk for free?'"
He gets up from the table and goes back behind the time VIP area, a small, dark room with black leather couches in which get longer, private lap dances for a higher price. Bottles of champagne stacked in a windowed refrigerator between two couches. Will goes into an adjoining room, what he calls his office, where a computer and some sound boards sit on a plywood desk. Here, he works as the club DJ, picking and playing songs from a list of thousands.
Story continued on next page.
LEFT: Dancers like Tori carry thier costumes in discrete duffle bags
Outside the office, the club begins to fill up; 15 to 20 people are now strewn throughout the room and the dancers are more prevalent among them than before.
One dancer, Sydney, sits alone on one of the couches lining the right wall. "I really don't feel like working right now," she says, sounding almost defeated. "There are just those nights that I come in and am disgusted. It's that conflicting thing that's always going on in my head. And it's not the girls, it's the guys." She contends that although she likes all the girls she works with, it's the idea of the men coming in, paying for the illusion of sex that turns her off of dancing.
Sydney, like Tori, is dancing to put herself through school. She's had seemingly every job in town, including owning and operating her own coffee shop. A self-described "full-fledged feminist" who can read ancient Greek, she concedes that this is the only job that could pay for school, so she does it five nights a week to get by. "I guess the main drawback is that I haven't had a date since I've started here because the idea of what I do turns many people off," she says. "But if boys are stupid enough to throw their money at me, more power to 'em." She sighs, gets up and approaches a man who has just sat down at a table. They talk.
"The part that bugs me the most is that when other girls find out what I do, they look down at me." Tori sits back down at the table. She crosses her legs and lets her eyes wander across the club, always looking through the setting instead of at it as if something's missing or out of place. "Really, those girls are probably the real sluts." Her stance on the decision to be a dancer has grown stronger since she started. After more than three years dancing, she's molded a very realistic view on the business and what she does.
Her eye is so clear when it comes to this, it's almost hard not to believe her when she says she enjoys what she does. "If you're smart about it coming in and avoid the negatives that can go along with the stripper lifestyle, there's
The part that bugs me the most is that when other girls find out what I do, they look down at me.
nothing wrong with it," she says. "I have other goals in my mind and other things I want to do with my life. You kind of have to plan ahead. A lot of girls don't think about the fact that you can't be a dancer forever."
A man in his early 30s walks in alone. He sits down at a table farther from the stage and orders a Coors
Light. He is, apparently, on his way home from work and just stopped in for a few minutes to relax. Tori eyes him aloofly, and then looks up across the room at nothing in particular. She strokes the bracelet on her wrist for a minute or two before standing up. "Well, I guess I better go make some money," she says derisively, yet with no trace of self-deprecation. She walks over to his table, carrying herself with an saunter that makes it all too clear this is one walk she's made more than just a few times in her life.
She sits down and they begin talking. She faces forward for the most part, talking, with minimal eye contact, to this man she's never met before in her life. No matter. They sit and talk anyway creating the illusion that they are, in fact, old friends.
Every now and then when the conversation lulls, she'll look up and around the room as she's become accustomed to doing. Her wide eyes search, but can never seem to really locate whatever it is she's trying to find.

Hayes Hamburgers and Chili
Hayes Hamburgers and Chilli is housed in a small, somewhat dilapidated white shack. The shabby exterior of the restaurant can make first-time visitors wary. But doubts fade once you walk into the diner and see the line of customers, hear the sizzle of the grill and smell of the hamburgers. Hayes, 2502 NE Vivion Rd., Kansas City, Mo., has an old-fashioned dinner feeling where visitors can get a freshly made hamburger with grilled onions and an earful of gossip from the waiter for only $1.25. The restaurant is open 24 hours, and its busiest time is from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. After the bars close, Hayes sets the stage for the theatrics of sloppy drunk customers and raunchy girl fights. This classic eatery also boasts a 100-year-old chili recipe that is just as popular as the burgers. "My little brother grew up on the chili, and he shows it," says Hayes employee Matthew Carroll.
Taste: 4 burgers. Hayes offers curly fries, which differed from the other restaurants. Atmosphere: 3 burgers. The white counter tops, navy blue stools and sizzle of the french fryer make for a quintessential diner experience.
Service: 4 burgers. The service is fast, and the staff is friendly.
Payment: Cash only. A sign reading, "We don't accept checks and you know why!!!!" hangs above the grill.

Fritz's Railroad Restaurant
Another Kansas City favorite, Fritz's offers customers good food and entertainment.

As train whistles blow, patrons look toward the ceiling as the "Skat Kat" chugs its way from the kitchen. The suspended, automated food delivery system resembles a train, and your food is dropped to your table via a moving platform. Fritz's burgers feature grilled onions, typical of many dinners, and will run you about $1.95. Cheese, lettuce and tomato are extra. The menu also features a number of sandwiches like grillloins, grilled cheese and hot dogs. The original, 250 N. 18th St., Kansas City, Kan., opened in 1954 and serves a diverse clientele. Mall-goers and teens frequent a second location in Crown Center, 2450 Grand Blvd., Kansas City, Mo. Because of the restaurant's novel delivery system, it has become a tourist attraction in Crown Center. Elaine Calloni and Joy

Lapicki, Girl Scout leaders from St. Louis, came to Fritz's during a visit to Kansas City for a Girl Scout convention. Their 16 Girl Scouts, each wearing paper engineer hats supplied by the restaurant, cheered each time the "Skat Kat" made its way from the kitchen. The restaurant sells T-shirts and other train memorabilia.
Taste: 3 burgers. Fritz's features a sesame-seeded bun, unlike the others, and is a tad greasier than Town-Topic and Hayes.
Atmosphere: 4 burgers. Where else can you watch a train deliver your food? Service: 2 burgers. Waiters and waitresses bring your drinks and are a bit cranky. But you don't visit this restaurant for the waiters.
Hours: Monday-Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Payment: Cash and major credit cards only.
As you approach Town-Topic, an off-white building the size of a boxcar, the scent of its thin, yet juicy hamburgers fills the air. Inside, 11 seats, a jukebox and a Star Wars video game greet you. This tiny diner, 2021 Broadway St. in Kansas City, Kan., opened in 1937. The food, which is prepared right in front of you, ranges from burgers and fries to breakfast food and dessert. A hamburger costs $1.75, but cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and fries are extra. Sherri Sullivan has worked at Town-Topic for eight years and describes it as an old Mom-and-Pop place. Conversations between regulars add a sense of familiarity to the atmosphere, but new customers and tourists are also a frequent sight. Town-Topic also sells souvenir T-shirts, hats and prints.
Taste: 3 burgers. All of the restaurants reviewed serve hamburgers with grilled onions and a pickle, and they have a similar taste. It is the other menu items that set them apart. Town-Topic offers homemade pies, breakfast food and fries that are thin and crispy, but a little on the dry side.
Atmosphere: 2 burgers. This dingy but classic diner has a lot of character which makes for an entertaining meal.
Service: 3 burgers. A bit frosty at first, but the cooks open up if you stick around and chat. The food is prepared and served quickly.
Hours: 24-7.
Payment: Cash only.

MASS. STREET MINSTRELS
Photos: Jeff Brandsted
Local musicians hit the pavement for love of their art. Of course, the tips are nice too.
By Kevin Kampwirth, Jayplay writer
He plays a six-string, beat-up acoustic guitar that he bought at a yard sale last summer. The case lies open at his feet beckoning passers-by to contribute to the growing collection of loose change and small bills. After scouting different locations carefully, he's decided to set up at Seventh and Massachusetts Streets. This corner, he believes, has the potential to yield some good money from the throngs of shoppers and wanderers that Mass. Street generally attracts on Saturdays.
Doing his best Simon-sans-Garfunkel imitation, he sings of silence and speaking with darkness, which apparently, is an old friend. "I try to play what I think people would like to hear," he says. "That's really the best chance you have to make some money doing this." Meet Trevor Whelan, Lawrence resident. Five days a week, Whelan works a nine-to-five job just like many other 24-year-old college graduates. One day a week, though, he does the job he really loves: singing and playing guitar for minimal income on the busiest sidewalk in Lawrence. Whelan is, for lack of a better term, a street musician.
BROOKLYN, NY - A man playing the saxophone on a street corner.
Walk down Mass. Street on any given Saturday or Sunday and, weather permitting, the street corners will be dotted with others just like Whelan. Coupling their love of playing music with the propensity of the sidewalks to fill up on sunny weekend afternoons, these street musicians usually earn a substantial amount of money, given the situation. "On a good, crowded Saturday, I can walk away with anywhere from $20 to
I'm really only doing it because I like to play.
Jay, street performer
$40," says Jay, another musician. "I mean, it's not much, but it's something. I'm really only doing it because I like to play."
Jay, who asked that his last name not be printed, also works a regular job during the week, so his street playing is only a hobby. He says that there were more musicians two
years ago, when he first started playing on Mass. Street. He attributes this to the fact that there's only so much room for different musicians to play. "People walking down the street aren't going to give money to every guy playing an instrument," he says. "They pick and choose, so if you don't have a good spot where traffic is heavy, it's often futile."
ABOVE: Dan Kozak, Topeka resident, is a common sight at the intersection of Massachusetts and Seventh Streets. LEFT: Kozak plays saxaphone and flute for tips. He's one of many musicians who frequent the streets of downtown Lawrence.
Like most of the musicians that frequent Mass. Street, Jay plays acoustic guitar and sings. There are those, however, that try to bring some variety to the scene. Seth McCormack, another Mass. Street musician, plays the bongos. A Lawrence resident and full time musician, McCormack says his playing adds a different dimension to the monotony of acoustic guitars. "It's actually pretty cool when you think about it," he says between drumbeats. "If you're just walking down the sidewalk enjoying the day, you're getting a full musical experience."
A small crowd begins to gather around McCormack as his steady tempo slowly rises into a full, frenetic percussive attack. Spectators watch, some clap, others drop coins or bills into a red-leather suitcase that acts as McCormack's tip jar. Two blocks down the street, the muffled twang of Whelan's yard sale guitar is still slightly audible. His voice soars, though, surprisingly clear over the seemingly endless line of cars that parade slowly down the street. As the notes bend and reach above the trees, it's clear that, at least in his mind, this is payment enough.

Mr. Bilistic You Ain't Ready
Instantly radio-worthy,You Ain't Ready is just a notch above what you are hearing on the big urban stations. But there is a lot more to this former University of Kansas student than his sound. He forges dreams into opportunity. He's sold 11,000 albums on the Internet and by word of mouth alone. His songs are brimming with an unrefined honesty.
Though You Ain't Ready leaves plenty of room for improvement, the years that Bilstic has spent paying dues have given him incredible range. Despite this, I still found myself wishing for more than just the standard hip-hop themes — women, thugs and lyrical prowess.
He rhymes with the intensity of a man who already senses his own predestination for greatness. It's evident on songs such as the battle track "Lyrix" that Bilistic is years ahead of his peers intellectually. He just has to work on being consistent. You Ain't Ready sounds as if he's settling into a new persona. If he continues on this path, though, the next couple of years will be full of artistic expansion.
Solid on wax and ferocious on stage, Bilistic is the man to invest in if you want to get in on the ground floor of another great Kansas hip-hop movement. He's got a heart of gold. Give him long enough he may have a gold record as well.

Modest Mouse
Good News For People
Who Love Bad News
Sellout. What in the hell does this word mean, exactly? Is it the pimping of one's art to the uncultured masses or adherence to the Man's teat? Or is it a need to reach more people by way of more exposure? After using it hundreds of times, I hated to press it to Modest Mouse — hence the conflict of definition above. Despite the move to Epic and a drummer rotation, Isaac Brock and his merry and have crafted another solid album, albeit lacking the conviction and power of previous works.
Things kick off with familiarity in the sad-sack balladry of "The World At Large," and tracks such as the spastic "Bury Me With It" and "Bukowski" will be reassuring to fans. However, on the crap end of the stick are tracks such as "Dance Hall" and the banjo-y "Satin In A Coffin." Perhaps the biggest anomaly here is the radio-ready "Float On," a song that's easy to have a love-hate relationship with. Fans both diehard and casual will want to pick this disc up to absorb the slight changes — just don't be surprised when you see Modest Mouse on ol' MTV some late night, sandwiched between whatever pop-punk platters are hot that particular week.

Various Artists Homemade Hits, V.1
Homemade Hits, V.1 is a collection of lo-fi bedroom pop songs. Most of the songs are various forms of indie pop, including anorak pop, noise pop, twee pop, jangle pop and ambient pop. But even with all these different forms of pop represented, a lot of material disregards the pop formula, causing a lot of songs to not carry a catchy rhythm. While some tracks are fun (as a pop collection should be), the tracks seem as if they were just made for the collection and the composition falls far behind March's epic Pop American Style and Pop International Style.

Retail Scrapbook A prescription for life from the "Pharmacy America Trusts"
Illustration: Scott Drummond
By Laura Kinch, Jayplay writer
As the sliding doors open and I breathe in the distinct scent of mothballs, women's perfume and candy, I am flooded with childhood memories.
This strange relationship began when I was a five-year-old and I was sick. I would stop by Walgreens with my mom to pick up my prescription. When I got the bottle of pink medication that tasted like bubble gum I knew that everything was going to be all right.
I have many childhood memories that are unique to Walgreens, such as going to the store on Christmas morning to get the batteries that would make my new toys work, picking up pictures with my sister and laughing as we looked at them right there at the photo counter, buying giant boxes of Junior Mints, Milk Duds and Snow Caps before going to see a movie, and spending 45 minutes in the perfume and cosmetics section looking for the newest flavor of Bonne Bell Lip Smackers and spraying on layers of Sunflower's perfume.
The randomness of Walgreens is the aspect that I love the most: a display of neatly stacked light bulbs sits next to tins of Oreo cookies and cans of Hormel chili accompany gallons of windshield washer fluid.
When I was 11, my parents got divorced and my mother, my sisters and I moved to a new town. My 11 year-old life had become a whirlwind of unexpected events. After the divorce and the move, I felt a sense of loss and
thought that nothing was going to be the same. I realized that my life wasn't following a straight and narrow path, but instead it was taking unexpected and random detours.
But then my mother got a job at the Walgreens corporate office in Deerfield, Ill. Every night she would bring home an envelope of chocolate orange slices, caramels or packets of Pop Rocks. My sisters and I would wait until after dinner for her to bring out the envelope of special treats. Every Christmas, Walgreens would host an employee party and invite all of the kids to eat lunch, get Walgreens Christmas presents and spend the day with their parents. I would brag to my friends about the paradise that I found inside the walls of the Walgreen corporate office. Even though everything around me was changing, the comforting feeling associated with Walgreens remained the same.
Now I'm 22-years-old and I see that life's unexpected detours, just like the mismatched displays at Walgreens, may be random but are all there for a reason. I learned that like the store, my life and my family have a special character that is positively unique and should not be critiqued but embraced.
