Investigation into librarian's death ongoing
BY AMANDA O'TOILE
aotoleo@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFE WRITE
Mary Miller, who started working for the University of Kansas libraries in 1979, was reportedly found dead by her husband Martin K. "Marty" Miller on July 28 at their home, 2105 Carolina St. Her husband was arrested and charged with first degree murder two days later.
Miller's death was classified as a homicide after an autopsy confirmed investigators' suspicion that foul play was involved, according to Christine Kenney, Douglas County district attorney.
Marty Miller was released from the Douglas County Jail after a $150,000 bail was paid in cash Aug. 11, according to *The Lawrence Journal World* on Aug. 12. No court dates have been set.
Kenney said that an autopsy was protocol for Lawrence Police in all unattended deaths, but investigators detected information at the scene that made them question the circumstances of Miller's death.
Kenney could not comment on what information tipped investigators. The investigation surrounding Miller's death is ongoing.
Michele Eodice, who worked with Miller for about four years, said the way Miller died is irrelevant at this point for people who knew her.
"It's just very sad," said Eodice, director of the KU Writing Center. "It's your peer and colleague, and sure, it's difficult. But we lose people in lots of different ways we don't have control of."
Bill Myers, library development director, declined comment on the context of Miller's death but said that she would be missed.
He said that Miller was committed to helping others and often offered help before a person had a chance to ask. She led by influence and example, he said.
"She was very perceptive of people," Myers said. "She helped in a very friendly, non-threatening sort of way." The Watson staff, Myers said, will remember Miller for her excellent service to students and faculty, and they will strive to live up to her standards of service.
Miller could usually be found at the technology desk on the third floor of the library and was active with technology in Watson Library.
Myers said some staff members called her the department whiz kid. As a woman who sought results, Myers said, Miller embarked on projects such as the KU Writing Center's writing guide, which outlined writing styles for students.
"Mary, like a lot of people in the libraries, was a person who liked to work together and collaborate," Eodice said. "I think for that reason she will be missed."
Miller graduated from the University with a bachelor of science degree in foreign languages from the School of Education in May 1979. She was 46 and left behind two junior-high age children.

"It's a time when any extra hand is appreciated." Roney said.
While most residents moved in on Sunday, many women moved into GSP-Corbin Hall on Saturday. Four different groups of volunteers showed up to help at GSP and Corbin, some starting as early as 7:15 a.m.

Members of two fraternities, Phi Delta Theta and Phi Gamma Delta, helped with the heavy stuff. Some of the members, who preferred their names not be used, said that, although they received credit toward their community service requirements, they still enjoyed the satisfaction of just being able to help people move in.
Even though some of the women moving in were sorority recruits, the
fraternity volunteers said there was no specific partnership between their fraternities and any of the sororites.
Another group of volunteers consisted of sorority recruitment counselors.
They said, in addition to helping the women move in, they were also there to help explain the recruitment process and answer any questions the new recruits had. They could not say which sororities they were representing until the end of Fall Formal Recruitment week, when they would have an unveiling, counselors said.

In the weeks ahead, the Kansas football team will prepare to face Tulsa in its season opener.
At the same time, football is far from the mind of one senior member of the team.
Senior defensive end and Army reservist John McCoy will soon report to Fort Riley for six weeks of training, before leaving for a one-year tour of Iraq.
McCoy's unit, the -317th Quartermaster Battalion, is a Lawrence-based unit with 55 soldiers. McCoy and his comrades will be responsible for anything from laundry delivery to mail duty, said Deb Skidmore, an officer with Army Public Affairs.
"The 317th is a combat-support unit tasked with supply and service to the various camps in Iraq," Skidmore said.
In McCoy's six weeks at Fort Riley, his unit will learn to patrol a base camp, drive vehicle convvoys and apply basic first aid, among other tasks.
Army Public Affairs officials have advised McCoy to not speak with the media and the University's media relations office has agreed to make McCoy's departure as low profile as possible. As a result, McCoy would not agree to interview for this story.

Smoking ban clears air in bars, ignites controversy

KANSAN STAMP WRITER
As of July 1, Lawrence residents had to take their butts outside. The Lawrence City Commission voted four to one on May 11 in favor of a smoking ban.
The commission approved the ban, saying employees could enjoy a smoke-free work environment, among other health benefits. The ban prohibits smoking in all enclosed work places in Lawrence.
Dennis Highberger, Lawrence vicemayor, voted for the ban. For him, the issue of choice, although valid, was secondary to employees' health, he said.
"Since when do you have a right to make other people breathe toxic smoke?" Highberger said.
Highberger said he thought the ban would be supported by a majority of the
Some business owners have opposed the ban. People who wish to vote on the ban could bring it to the ballot if they can collect 3,764 signatures.
Highberger said he wishes the petitioners luck. He said he deeply regretted the hardships that the ban had imposed on some people, but the ban is in place to ensure the health of employees.
"I think in a few years it will be hard for people to imagine things were any different." Highberger said of the ban.

was bad, but about forcing decisions on business owners, she said.
Bill Heinen, Free State Brewing Company host and supervisor, said employees had collected around 1,000 signatures for the petition against the smoking ban at Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St. Free State is one of 11 locations where people can sign the petition. Other locations include the Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., Henry's, 11 E.

First exchange agreement with military signed Friday
The University of Kansas will aid the nation's homeland security with an agreement signed Friday, Aug. 13
Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Fort Leavenworth's Lt. Gen. William S. Wallace signed the first formal exchange agreement between the University and a military institution at Spencer Research Library Friday.
The University has dozens of student and faculty exchanges with foreign universities.
The agreement will help strengthen training for civilian and military leaders.
The goal of the agreement is to identify leaders, share data and create a joint executive community between students, faculty and the military.
The negotiation committee for the new Multicultural Resource Center is in its final processes of selecting an architect for the project, according to Richard Johnson, dean of students.
"We didn't do as good of a job preparing leaders about cultural awareness — something KU can help us with," said Maj. David Connolly.

Cameras trigger debate
In September 2001, Texas became the first state to pass a law regulating the use of video cameras in nursing homes. While other states do not prohibit putting cameras in residents' rooms, supporters want any potential gray areas cleared up by setting specific regulations.
DAILY ILLU
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Video cameras in nursing homes protect the elderly, supporters say, but some consider them an invasion of privacy.
At Champaign County Nursing Home in Urbana, Ill., Courtney Wendell, admissions marketing coordinator, said she had not had to deal with the issue.

the issue.
"We'll have to cross that bridge when we come to it," she said. "But I would not encourage it."
Austin Caster
Supporters of camera usage in nursing homes say residents, not nursing home employees, hold the right to have cameras installed in their rooms.
Wendell said she would be against it because it would raise privacy issues for residents and staff.
"This is my home, isn't it?" said Linda Aschenbrenner, Champaign County Nursing Home resident.
Aschenbrenner said she thought residents should have the choice of having video cameras in their rooms, as long as the residents could also have the choice of when they wanted the camera on and off.
Kalah McGraw, Champaign County Nursing Home volunteer coordinator, agrees with Aschenbrenner.
Aschenbrenner said she would feel safer if a camera were watching her belongings when she was out of her room. She said she had never felt physically threatened as a resident at the nursing home.
"It would benefit residents who cannot verbalize if something happens to them," McGraw said. "Residents should be able to choose."
This feeling seems to be the general consensus at Champaign County Nursing Home.
Mary Millican, a 94-year-old resident, said she felt safe at the home and does not see a need for video surveillance in her room.
"It should be an option, though, I sunpose." Millican said.
"I believe you can tape as long as you don't have any audio," said John Piland, Champaign County state's attorney.
People who are against video camera use in nursing homes often cite privacy concerns.
But the debate always returns to the issue of privacy.
issue of privacy.
Fred Paisley, 61-year-old Champaign County Nursing Home resident for the past six years, said he feels safe at the home and disagrees with video surveillance in nursing homes.
Paisley said. "Once you start doing something like that, there are all sorts of potential legal ramifications that are off-the-wall for everybody."

Democratic vice-presidential nominee John Edwards addressed supporters at Abe and Jake's Landing in Lawrence on Sunday, Aug. 8.
The speech at Abe and jake's, 8 E. Sixth St., came after a train of democratic candidates, including John Kerry and Edwards, sped by a group of more than 1,000 supporters gathered at the Lawrence train station on Friday, Aug. 6. Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth Edwards, came back after seeing the supporters gathered.
"We raised our hands to wave, but the engineer hadn't slowed and by the time we had waved even a little to the signs and cheers and camera flashes, it was dark again," Elizabeth Edwards wrote. "We sat frustrated—but we knew we were not as frustrated as the people of Lawrence, Kansas, who stood until 1 AM for the train to pass through — a whistle stop, a slow roll, whatever."
The Democratic candidates were traveling across the United States on their "Believe in America" tour. They started on July 30 in Massachusetts and ended Aug. 13 in Oregon.
According to an entry posted on Aug. 7 by Elizabeth Edwards on a blog www.johnkerry.com, the train was supposed to slow down.
Kathleen Daughey, Topeka junior and president of the KU Young Democrats, attended Edward's speech. She was impressed with Edwards' message, she said.
"It was phenomenal. He always has a very positive message." Daughty said.
She said he spoke about a divided America, where health care and standards of living were

"It gave people in this part of the state a chance to be a part of the presidential campaign and a chance to feel like Lawrence matters." she said.
Kathy Greenlee, secretary of the Douglas County Democratic Party said she was glad Edwards decided to come back.
Greenlee served as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention.
Courtney Stepan, Manhattan sophomore, attended the speech and said Edwards pumped the crowd up. She was surprised that she did not see any Bush supporters there, she said.
Josh Steward, Hays senior and vice-chair of the KU College Republicans, did not attend the speech and said that the College Republicans didn't attend as a group or organize a protest. Steward did, however, criticize Edwards.
"It's interesting having a multimillionaire trial lawyer trying to bridge the gap between the rich and poor," Steward said.

He also said that Kerry and
Edwards want United Nations support for international action, but that the United States does not need it.
The visit also drew criticism from some in the national media. A day after the speech, Rush Limbaugh, a national radio talk show host, made several comments about the city of Lawrence.
He later clarified that he was speaking about the University of Kansas, and not Lawrence as a whole.

In an election year, the Student Legislative Awareness Board has set a daunting goal: register 10,000 voters for this year's elections.
Student activists aim for 10,000 new voters
Two years ago, when SLAB had a similar drive vote it registered more than 3,000 voters.
But SLAB legislative director Katie Wolff said she wanted to at least double that number.
Registering voters is important, Wolff said, because it creates more influence for students in Topeka.
SLAB is working with Rock the Vote to inform voters about the necessity of civic involvement. Rock the Vote, which is a national voter-awareness group, uses music to promote voter registrations.
In addition to teaming up with Rock the Vote, Wolff said members of SLAB would be on Wescoe Beach registering voters and informing students for the next two months. SLAB members will hand out Rock the Vote stickers and buttons to remind students to vote.
To register in Douglas County. students need to have their KUID's or other proof of housing, such as a utility bill or a bank statement with their local address on it. Voter registration forms will also be available in residence halls.
SLAB will host Civic Literacy Week September 26 through October2.
The week will kick-off with a free concert in South Park featuring local bands.
SLAB will increase its efforts to register voters with speakers and a debate watch during the week. The group will watch the presidential debates together on television and then discuss the issues in a non-partisan format.
"We want to show that maybe every vote does count," said Boots, Plano, Texas, junior.
Jason Boots, SLAB's community affairs director, said he didn't want to just register voters. He wants the public to be informed about the issues, too.

EDITORIAL

Welcome to KU; Pardon our mess
It is a big year for building and construction at the University of Kansas. This summer, students encountered new construction projects on nearly every part of campus.
As is the case with construction, there are inconveniences along the way.
As frustrating as things may get during the course of the University's development this year, we should not lose focus on our shared goal of building a greater University.
When looking down the road at the benefits to the University from the current construction and development, it should all be worth the wait.
Most of this year's development is the product of years of hard work. Inconveniences in the building process will resonate immediately, but its positive impact will take longer to be felt.
By looking at the long-term effects of development this summer and upcoming fall, it is easy to see why the costs of improvement are worth it.
This year, journalism students can enjoy a newly constructed, "converged" newsroom in the Dole Human Development Center. Staff from The University Daily Kansan, KUJH and KJHK are all working together in the new facility.
The University's proud tradition of honoring veterans is enhanced with the construction of the new Korean War Memorial. The new memorial honors those in the KU community who served, and it also helps educate students on this important event in history.
The scholarship hall community is seeing a lot of growth this year as construction continues for Rieger Scholarship Hall, a brand new women's hall set to open in Fall 2005.
Several other summer construction projects are wrapping up. Engel Road features a smoother ride after receiving road improvements this summer.
The administration can breathe a sigh of relief after work is finished on repairing a faulty steam tunnel in the area between the Kansas Union and Watson Library on Jayhawk Boulevard. Most exciting to students should be the newly renovated Wescoe Terrace, which now features many interesting new dining options.
For students and faculty, this year is set to be another for building onto the rich academic tradition of KU.
Indeed, development continues to be a key theme at the University throughout the events of this next fall. You are going to be seeing it in the form of new and improved facilities all over campus, and also in the efforts of our students, faculty, administrators and staff to improve on the performances of the past.
It will not all be smooth sailing, and there are sure to be obstacles to overcome, but the benefits of all this building and development are sure to outweigh the costs.
The University is a work in progress, and this year promises to be productive, entertaining and constructive.

Ready or not, here we come
Like any organization that's been around for 100 years, the Kansan has some traditions.
Some are simple. For example, it's always the Kansan to the news staff and never the UDK, as it's sometimes called.
There's not really a good explanation for this, just a reality that most newspapers, whatever their size and reputation, tend to abscond from initials. The New York Times is the Times in short form, never the NYT. Ditto for The National Enquirer, known simply as the Enquirer when you want to keep it quick.
WELCOME BACK
As a profession, journalism is filled with all sorts of inexplicable traditions. Newspapers big and small have them, and as you read this I'm indulging in one as well.
SHEID GREENS
Each year it's the responsibility of the incoming Kansan editor to write a column for the first paper. It's a welcome back, a "Look what we've changed," a love fest. To me, it's absolutely terrifying.
What do you say? Or more to the point, how do you find a new way to save it?
Inviably, these columns take the same shape each year. One editor after another thinks of a new lead or first sentence for this column. Maybe they find a new slant or they write it in a different way. But year after year, Kansan

editors revert to welcoming back the students and touting some new ideas.
Dare I buck tradition and face the wrath of the journalism gods?
I'm not so presumptuous. But it's not just fear of retribution or a need to abide by tradition. I'm genuinely excited about what we've got in store for you, the reader. (By the way, welcome back!)
We've made some tweaks to the paper's design. Some of you might notice and some of you might not. Each of them is designed to deliver a product that's more esthetically pleasing and
easier to navigate.
We're also gearing up for a news-tilled semester. Students will help elect or re-elect a president, Student Senate will debate new initiatives and the football team will look to build on last year's improvements — and this is just what we know will happen.
As the semester progresses, we look forward to covering every aspect of the University of Kansas. It's a wonderfully diverse place filled with thousands of voices we'd like to hear.
We'll also look forward to seeing how you react. Journalists cover events for an audience — ours is the University community. So, if there's a story we're not covering or a viewpoint you think needs to be expressed, let us know. Another newspaper tradition is trying to do right by you, the reader.
As I was reminded last week, when I got an e-mail alerting me that the governor of my home state had resigned after admitting he was gay and had an extramarital affair, news happens whether we, the journalists, are ready or not.
This semester we'll do our best to avoid the latter.
Now it's time to start
So welcome back and look at what we've changed. Love fest over.

For 21 years students, faculty and staff at the University of Kansas have kicked off the the academic school year with a seven-day celebration known as Hawk Week.
Designed to help new students familiarize themselves with the University, Hawk Week offers events and programs that emphasize student opportunities and demonstrate University traditions.
Hawk Week events started yesterday, when residence halls opened, and continues through Saturday. Daytime events focus on introducing new students to the University, while evening events are more social, providing students with the chance to meet new people.
Shanda Hurla, Hawk Week coordinator, said the week of events promotes campus unity and helps new students transition to life on campus.
"Hawk Week is important because it provides students with a way to get connected to the University and for them to find out what resources and opportunities are available," Hurla said.
More than 10,000 students participate in Hawk Week each year, she said. Some of the most popular events are the ice cream social, convocation, the official beginning of the school year, Downtown Hawks—when more than 20 downtown businesses give discounts to students who show their student ID, Movie on the Hill and Traditions Night.
The ice cream social is at 6:30 this evening at the Adams Alumni Center. Students will receive free ice cream and other giveaways, and they can tour the alumni center. Hurla encourages students to head over to Memorial Stadium after the free ice cream for Traditions Night, the highlight of Hawk Week, which starts at 8 p.m.
For the event, the marching band, students, faculty, staff and
the Lawrence community are invited to Memorial Stadium to celebrate the traditions of the University, such as the Rock Chalk chant and the Alma Mater. New students can get ready for the upcoming football season by learning all of the chants necessary to cheer on the jayhawks.
Convocation, which takes place at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the Lied Center, marks the official beginning of the school year. Traditionally, new and returning students, staff and faculty attend convocation. Chancellor Robert Hemenway will speak.
During Thursday's Downtown Hawks, from 5 to 8 p.m., students can receive discounts from more than 20 stores in downtown Lawrence.
Friday night, the Movie on the Hill will start at 10 at the Campanile Hill The Whole Ten Yards will be shown.
Day events during Hawk Week are just as important for new students as the nightly socializing, said Hurla. A list of

Legacies follow in families' footsteps, find new friends

Andrew Ford's fraternity recruitment differed from those of most incoming freshmen.
Ford's father Bill pledged Phi Kappa Theta during his college years in Lawrence, making Andrew a legacy.
Legacies' decisions to join a particular fraternity or sorority, or whether to join at all, are not just influenced by active recruiting members.
"You don't have to explain to
legacies why the house is so great," said Tom Hipp, Overland Park senior and member of Phi Kappa Theta.
Ford had heard stories about the University of Kansas from his father, but wasn't sure he wanted to join a fraternity until he met the members active in the house.
"I came to a few functions at the house this summer and played cards with the guys," the Kansas City, Mo., freshman said. "Fraternities are a great way to meet people."
He said it would be nice to already have a group of friends at the University when he arrived.
Alpha Chi Omega based on its active members. But Shapiro, Overland Park sophomore, had legacies in three different sororities. Hergrandmother and mother pledged Chi Omega during their years at the University of Kansas.
Katie Shapiro faced a similar situation last year.
Her sister, Julie Shapiro, Overland Park senior, pledged Alpha Gamma Delta. Julie's twin, Jennifer, pledged Alpha Chi Omega.

The Overland Park sophomore said she knew students in several houses, but didn't have difficulty with her decision.
"My sisters didn't really pressure me to join their houses," Shapiro said. "I just felt more at home at Alpha Chi Omega."

University helps to ensure students 'Graduate in 4'
BY ANNIE McENNODE
correspondent@kansan.com
SPECIAL TO THE KANANI
Brandy Hildreth is finally done with college.
After six years at the University of Kansas, Hildreth graduated with degrees in English and journalism in May.
Although she says she would have lied to finish in four years, taking longer was the norm among students she knew.
"I don't know a single person I've hung out with at KU or was friends with that graduated in four years," she said. "I can't think of a single person."
Nationwide, only 37 percent of first-time freshmen in four-year bachelor's degree programs finish in four years, according to a May 2004 report by The Education Trust.
At KU, the figure is even lower. Of the class of first-time freshmen that entered in the fall of 1999, only 30 percent graduated within four years. Based on most recent available data, the University's four-
year rate places a mediocre seventh within the Big 12 Conference. It also ranks behind Pittsburg State University and Fort Hays State University within the state.
Tammara Durham, director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, said lagging graduation rates can pose a threat to a University's reputation. Prospective students and ratings systems both scrutinize the figures as indicators of an institution's quality.
Durham said reasons for students prolonging their course of study can range from indecision about a major to a family crisis. But regardless of what setbacks students may encounter later, her office is encouraging all students to plan on earning a degree in four years.
This summer, incoming students are receiving the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center's latest edition of its "Graduate in 4" booklet. The center provides all new students with the newly streamlined publication during their freshman orientation sessions. The title of the booklet alone
sends a strong message, Durham said.
"When we give them the Grad(uate) in 4 book, it's clear what we want them to do," she said.
The booklet has existed in bulkier forms since 2001. It contains a section called "Four Steps to Graduating in Four Years," tips for choosing a major, and a checklist of objectives to complete in each of a student's four years. A four-year plan worksheet provides space for students to map out their curriculum for each semester.
In 1999, the Kansas Board of Regents took aim at low graduation rates in its Vision 2020 plan for the University. It lists as part of its second initiative to "reduce the time required to graduate for undergraduates" through improving academic support.
"Graduate in 4" is part of a further-reaching effort to bolster the University's four-year graduation rate.
A progress report on the initiative cites use of the Academic Requirements Tracking System, or ARTS, form since 1998 and the
establishment of the University's Student Writing Center the same year as other steps towards improving graduation rates.
In addition to publishing "Graduate in 4", the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center has expanded its offices in Strong Hall to accommodate a larger staff of about 20 advisors who help students to formulate course schedules, select majors, and discuss career options.
According to Rachel Fredrickson, a fifth year senior from Lawrence, improved academic advising for undergraduates is long overdue.
Fredrickson came to the University of Kansas in 2001 convinced that industrial design was the perfect program for her interests. But after three years of whitting away at the School of Fine Arts' requirements, Fredrickson realized that a business degree might provide her with more career opportunities. She transferred into the School of Business, where much of her coursework no longer applied toward her degree.
If she had received better information about the careers an industrial design degree could lead to, she says, she could have saved time and money.
and money.
"You feel like you're wasting some years, doing something you're not going to finish," Fredrickson said. "It's like, 'How many thousands of dollars and how much time did I just waste?'
Fredrickson's parents established a college fund to pay for her tuition before she came to the University. But the fund was only meant to cover four years of school. Now she relies on her job at the University Bookstore, where she works about 20 hours per week, to help her make up the difference.
ference. Hildreth, too, worked about 20 hours per week at the Clinton Lake Wildlife Area during her time in college. Still, earning enough money to pay for the average of 15 hours per semester needed to graduate in four years was not always manageable.
manageable
"There were a couple of semesters where I was running out of
money, so I had to cut back on hours to work more," Hildreth said.
Tuition hikes during her final years at KU didn't help matters
"I might have been able to finish up quicker, but as the tuition increased I had to work more," she said.
With so many factors forcing students to prolong their studies, Mary Andrade, assistant director of University Career Services, said taking longer than four years to graduate wasn't necessarily a big deal.
"If (students) are taking an extra semester, I don't think that's a problem," she said. "If they're taking an extra year, I don't think that's a problem."
Her office also offers students a four-year plan called "Your Career and Academic Pathway." The pamphlet advises students to gain experience in a prospective career after exploring their interests and learning about various professions during their freshman and sophomore years.

Nine students oppose tuition law, seek relief in court
Edited by Steve Schmidt
Chris Heath, Monterey, Calif., senior, is one of the plaintiffs using the state for injunctive relief against the Kansas House bill that allows some undocumented immigrants to pay in-state tuition. Heath, who will be starting his third year paying out-of-state tuition, said he thought the bill was unfair.
BY JAY SENTER
jsenter@kansan.com
KANSAN START WRITER
When Christopher Heath saw an advertisement last spring seeking plaintiffs for a suit challenging a Kansas law that allows some undocumented immigrants to pay in-state college tuition, he decided to make a phone call.
Heath, a 22-year-old who transferred to the University of Kansas from a small school in Salinas, Calif., has lived in the state for two years and owns a home in Lawrence, but he has been denied Kansas residency on multiple occasions. Why, Heath thought, should illegal immigrants be given a better tuition rate than a citizen of the United States?
Courtney Kuhlen/KANSAN
Heath contacted the Federation for American Immigrant Reform (FAIR), the organization that ran the advertisement, got details on the case and signed on. He is now one of nine University of Kansas students who are suing the state for injunctive relief against Kansas House Bill 2145, which allows any student who attended a Kansas high school for at least three years, and who graduated from a Kansas high school or received a GED from
the state, to pay in-state tuition at Kansas universities regardless of residency status.
But, Heath said, his motivation for joining the suit was not based on a particular dislike for immigrants. Rather, Heath wanted to lower his own tuition bill.
"To be honest, I thought that most of all it would be nice to get all of the tuition money back," Heath said. "I don't care too much about the immigrants getting in-state tuition. The kids who qualify have obviously lived here for a while — you can't become fluent in English if you have only been here for three years. But don't make me pay out of state. Make everyone pay the same."
That view somewhat conflicts with the ideology of the organization that spearheaded the suit. Unlike Heath, FAIR vocally denounces the prospect of allowing illegal immigrants to receive any benefits, no matter how long they have been in the United States.
Susan Tully, FAIR's Midwest field director, and one of the lead organizers of the iawsuit, said FAIR wanted to see the law overturned, and was not sympathetic to the plight of immigrant students who had been brought to
the United States as children by their parents.
"Just because their parents broke the law does not give them the right to think that they can stay here and continue to break the law," Tully said. "They need to go back to their homeland and file the appropriate papers to come here legally, or they need to attend universities in their homeland, whatever that is — whether it's China or Russia or Mexico, I don't really care."
Melinda Lewis, the policy director of El Centro, a Kansas City, Kan., non-profit organization that played a significant role in drafting the Kansas law, said she believed many of the students joined the suit because they wanted education finance reform, not because they held anti-immigrant views.
"Ive read the stories of some of the plaintiffs who are working hard and who are struggling to pay for college," Lewis said. "And I think that those things are very real, but I do not think that in any way they are the fault of immigrant students, who in many ways are struggling right along with the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs are, I believe, unwitting pawns in a larger goal of this extreme anti-immigrant group to try to create an environment of
fairly radical immigrant views."
The case has received significant media attention since being filed July 19, largely because the attorney who brought the case on behalf of FAIR was Kris Kobach, a University of Missouri-Kansas City law professor and Republican candidate for Kansas' third district Congress
sional seat. Kobach has made immigration reform a priority in his campaign thus far, and has appeared on The O'Reilly Factor, a Fox News Channel talk show, to discuss the issue. Kobach could not be reached for comment.
On July 21, Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline removed
himself from defense of the case, saying that his belief in strong immigration law presented a conflict of interest.
Tully said she was waiting to hear from FAIR's attorneys about the state's response to the suit in the wake of Kline's recusal.

Hall increases size of Edwards campus
By Ross Firch
rfitch@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Last week's opening of a new hall on the University of Kansas Edwards Campus nearly tripled its size.
The Victor and Helen Regnier Hall, 127th Street and Quivira Road in Overland Park, cost $17.8 million, occupies 82,000 square feet, features 21 classrooms, a 240-seat auditorium and offices for 45 faculty members. Robert Clark, vice chancellor of the Edwards Campus, said the new hall would help the campus better serve the greater Kansas City region.
The new hall is part of a $70 million expansion project for the Edwards Campus. The project calls for five halls to be constructed on the campus. The cost of the hall
"It provides a link from this community to Lawrence through participation in our programs and events, bringing the strengths of KU Lawrence to the Johnson County and Greater Kansas City region." Clark said. "It signals an increasing commitment by KU to the region."
was funded through an $8 million donation mainly funded by the Hall Family Foundation of Kansas City, Mo., the Victor and Helen Regnier Charitable Foundation of Leawood and a $15 per-credit-hour bond fee paid by the students enrolled at the Edwards campus.
Because of the expansion, the new hall is expected to double both the size of enrollment and the number of programs offered at the Edwards Campus. Currently, the campus enrolls about 2,100 students per semester, mainly working adults, and offers 25 undergraduate and graduate programs. Clark said the addition of Regnier Hall would not affect the decision of full-time college students, particularly the ones who commute from Overland Park, to continue to come to Lawrence.
"Since we only offer three degree programs at this point, it would be difficult for any student to carry a full-time load because we offer a limited number of courses each term," Clark said.
Clark said plans call for adding new undergraduate and graduate programs in areas such as business, public administration, social welfare, developmental psychology and information technology. The Edwards Campus already announced the addition of a public administration undergraduate degree.
Barbara Romzek, associate dean of social sciences, said the new hall allowed the department of public administration to offer more courses. She said the increase in available classrooms made it possible to offer more of the courses they want to offer and more flexibility in when they can offer them. Before the new hall was added, teachers could only teach courses from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. or from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Romzek said teachers were not allowed to offer courses from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., because it would take up two classroom spots and would overlap with other classes. She said many students wanted to take earlier classes because getting home late meant less time with their families.
"They feel like their life is more normal," Romzek said.
Elaine Warren, director of public relations for the KU Edwards Campus, said the new auditorium
gave the Edwards Campus an opportunity to offer cultural activities on the campus, making Edwards more than just a commuter campus.
"We can truly say we're a campus now because we offer more than just academics." Warren said.
Warren said officials on the Edwards Campus planned on hosting lectures and concerts, including the Kansas Symphony and a leadership speaker series. She said the auditorium also offered more space to rent out to businesses and corporations when classes are not in session. She said renting out the auditorium could bring in potential students because people attending a meeting could pick up a brochure while on campus.
Overall, Clark said the new hall benefited the Lawrence campus because it served Kansans who reside in the Edwards Campus region.
He said the Kansas City region was the fastest growing region in the state, and that could be important to the campus in the future.

Smoking: Bar patrons' reaction mixed; owners petition for vote

Eighth St. and Jack Pot Saloon,
943 Massachusetts St.
Heinen said that people must be registered to vote in Lawrence to sign the petition. If someone was not already registered, it would take three to four days to process a registration card, said Dan Winsky, bar manager at Red Lyon.
The Appeal for Reason and Tolerance Coalition is the group in charge of the petition. Members hope to bring the referendum to the ballot for city commission primary in February.
Chuck Magerl, owner of Free State, said the restaurant had seen an increase in the sale of kid's menu items because more families were coming to the restaurant. However, he's seen a noticeable decrease in beer sales.
"This is something that affects businesses; it doesn't just affect smokers," Heinen said.
Heinen said he would like to see the ban come to a vote and thought businesses and the commission could find a compromise. Heinen said the ban probably had not affected Free State as much as other businesses, because the restaurant already had an outdoor area where people could smoke and take their drinks with them.
"As long as it's voted on, I'm happy." Heinen said.
Anne Carty, Lawrence Masters student, said the smoking ban had both advantages and disadvantages. She thought that if some of the businesses had done a better job with ventilation, smoking inside would not have been such a big issue, she said.
"I'm happy I can go watch a show at the Tap Room without my eyes burning." Carty said.
Carty still has to step outside of Bloom Bath & Body, her workplace, every time she wants to light up a cigarette. Carty said there needed to be more places outside to dispose of cigarettes.
Andrew Juby, Hutchinson sophomore, said he had been smoking for more than three years. Business owners should be able to make their own decisions, he said.
Dan Winsky, bar manager at Red Lyon, said he had seen some decrease in business. Winsky said that nighttime business had taken the biggest hit.
"If people don't want to go into a smoking environment, then don't go into a smoking environment," juby said.
Winsky said people had complained about the ban, but they go outside and smoke anyways.
"The problem is if they're outside finishing a cigarette, they're not inside finishing a beer. So they can't be ordering another, so we're losing a little bit of business." Winskv said.
Winsky said the Red Lyon has already remodeled the front of the building, but they were planning on adding an open air smoking patio if it met city codes.
Red Lyon has voter registration forms and petitions if anyone wants to sign up when they come into the bar.
"If the people decide that we don't want smoking in the bars, then I can accept that. But I don't want four people deciding for me," Winsky said.

Local water rates could rise in 2005
BY STEPHANE FARLEY
starley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Lawrence City Commission was scheduled to vote on a raise in water rates last Tuesday, but commission members postponed the vote until they receive more information on the proposed rates for 2005.
Debbie Van Saun, assistant city manager for community development services, said that in 2004, residents paid a set rate regardless of how much water they used. Everyone gets charged the same amount, Van Saun said.
The new proposed rates would work toward charging people for closer to the amount they used, said Keith Barber, senior consultant for Black & Veatch. Black & Veatch analyzed the historic usage of water and the bills issued for Lawrence.
When considering raising the rates of water usage, Black & Veatch looked at the city revenue requirements and the revenue coming in.
Black & Veatch then calculated the additional revenue needed for maintenance and water facilities and designed the new water rates around those figures.
"It's basically a fairness issue," Barber said. "It's evening things out."
Barber said the problem with Lawrence's current water rates was that some residents, specifically those living in single-family houses with sprinkler systems and higher-capacity water needs, were using more water than others, but that everyone was being billed in the same way.
A person in a residential unit — a house with one meter — pays $6.55 for all water usage up to 2,000 gallons per month.
A person in a multi-family unit — a large meter for an apartment building or duplex — is charged the same rate as a residential unit for usage under 2,000 gallons.
The proposed water rates for 2005 would change the amounts both residential and multi-family

blocks are charged for water usage.
If commission members accept the proposed rates for 2005, a multi-family unit will pay $4.26 for 1,000 gallons of water used. A residential unit would be charged $4.62 per 1,000 gallons.
Apartment and duplex residents would pay only for the water they use, actually saving money in comparison to the 2004 water rates.
Residential users would also pay only for the water they use, but the proposed 2005 rates would ensure that the amount of water that residential areas were using did not spill into the multi-family block and cause multi-family units to pay for more than what they were using.
Van Saun said she did not know if the new rates would affect a lot of students at the University, but she assumed that most students did not participate in high water-consuming activities such as watering the lawn.
Casey Schuetz, Wichita senior,
said she paid for her own water bill.
Schuetz said she split the bill with
her roommate and paid $25 to $30.
Schoetz said that although she does not have to water a lawn and does not take long showers, she does laundry about twice a week and does dishes a lot. She said did not think the increase in water rates was necessary.
"I wouldn't like it because even though I'm not a huge water consumer, it's water. Seventy-five percent of the earth is water, so no, I wouldn't be very happy," Schuetz said. "Obviously, I would much rather be paying for water that I use."

Chef cooks for family, strangers
University alumnus takes English degree to the kitchen
BY NIKOLA ROWE
nrowe@kansan.com
KANSW STAFF WINTER
Dave Knubly is unlike some professionals. He doesn't mind taking his work home.
The 55-year-old is a husband and father of three who cooks for his family almost as often as he cooks for strangers.
Knubly is the executive chef at Stone Creek, 3801 W. Sixth St.
After graduating with an English degree from the University of Kansas in 1994, Knubly was drawn to food, not words. He could be more creative with food, he said.
Knubly's college career also followed that theme—creativity. Cheap rent, his band and alcohol helped him get through.
Knubly lived in a trailer home off 23rd and Iowa with two friends.
"His room was a makeshift attachment," said his brother, Cory Knubly. "Itwas like sleeping outside minus the wind."
"They did a lot of boozing in that place." Cory added.
MONDAY
knubly also rocked the college garage band scene playing guitar, keyboard and drums with a group of college friends. Knubly's band often played for fraternities and at the Bottleneck's open-mic nights.
"I bet I went to every show." said his wife, Koren Knubly. The two met through a mutual friend during their freshman year and got married in 1994.
By 1994, seven years after start ing at the University, Knubly had a degree, but was keen on a different hobby acquired throughout the years.
From 1989 to 1993, Knubly worked as a Sous Chef, or an apprentice, for Silver Ridge Catering in Lawrence.
Knubly began working as a Sous Chef for the Alumni Center after he graduated in 1994. Knubly said that working for the center was one of the most varied jobs he worked.
"One day I would be carving an ice sculpture and the next I would be ordering produce from coast to coast." Knubly said.
Although he loves many aspects of the profession he
"Any hour of the day you could find
Dave with a beer in one hand at the bar jawing with customers”

chose, he finds some business aspects challenging.
Knubly creates the recipes for the menus of the restaurant he works for, but the owner retains the rights to the menu items.
He also is frustrated because some restaurants do not offer insurance plans, which is important to him and his family.
Knubly became the company chef for Stone Canyon in Parkville, Mo., in 1999.
The company expanded to Lawrence and some employees from Parkville came with Knubly.
Brian Sifton, Lawrence junior, worked with Knubly in both locations.
Sifton described working with Knubly in the kitchen as comradeship of food production.
"We clicked like a well-oiled maching," Sifton said.
Knubly's job, Sifton said, is often more difficult.
As the face of the kitchen, Knubly would have to handle complaints. But for the most part, Sifton said Knubly was good at it.
"Any hour of the day you could find Dave with a beer in one hand a. the barjawing with customers," Sifton said.
Knubly is in the kitchen at home just as much as he is at work.
His kids help when they can by stirring or spraying pans. Koren said that their children's favorite thing to do was help dad bake sugar cookies.
It's great for her, Koren said; she doesn't have to cook.
she does have to look.
And for Knubly, the job is good.
Despite day-to-day problems, he does what he loves. Knubly looks forward to the day when he could open his own restaurant with "a small menu where regulars could make requests, great specials, relaxed environment and maybe a couple of TVs for games."

Performers excited for opportunity to audition, travel
BY AUSTIN CASTER acaster@kansan.com
KANSA STAFF WRITER
Christina Hulett will be busy than most communications majors this year. She no longer majors in music, but still needs her creative outlet. Hulett is auditioning for one of the University of Kansas' choirs this week.
"I like the performance aspect more than anything," said Hulett, Houston junior. "I'm a singer. That's my thing."
Harding teaching
According to John Paul Johnson,
director of choral activities,
and Jim Hudson, assistant director
of music and dance, 60 to 75 percent of band and choir members at the University do not major in music.
"Everyone brings a different talent to the table." Johnson said. "Some are better at rhythm, others musicality."
He said directors used auditions to place students in a choir where they could grow as a musician. Auditions may seem stressful, but are actually painless, Johnson said.
Auditions include a range test to see how high and low a student can

sing, pitch-matching and "My Country, 'Tits of Thee,'" he said.
Directors provide sheet music to those who do not know the lyrics.
This is the year for students who have never auditioned before because there are more opportunities to travel, he said.
Men's Glee heads to California and Women's Chorale to Chicago. Chamber Choir is set to tour regionally and all choir students can go on the Europe trip planned for the end of the spring semester. Tour cities include Prague, Vienna, Salzburg and Venice. Although members pay for the trips, the opportunity is unusual.
KU Marching Band is another way to get involved with campus life, Hudson said. Similar to choir, non-music majors can audition for one of the University's many bands.
Marching Band auditions include two fight songs and a simple marching audition. "Most of these students have been in band since junior high and want to stay involved," Hudson said.
Ian Bradt, Johnston, Iowa senior, wants to make time for both marching band and choir again this year, even though he majors in electrical engineering.

Political expression boundaries on campus laid out
BY JAY SENTER
jsenter@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The placards are beinginked the platforms developed and the speeches honed. With the presidential political campaigns under way this fall, America might witness some of the most partisan political debates in a generation.
But for a state school like the University of Kansas, ensuring the political expression surrounding an election allows both First Amendment rights and prevents abuses of power to be a tightrope walk.
power to On June 14, the Provost's office emailed students and faculty members an outline of the rules governing political expression on campus.
tall space.
State law forbids the use of campus mail or school e-mail to promote a political candidate or party. and University policy bans door-to-door solicitation in residence halls.
Specifically, the message spelled out acceptable uses of campus e-mail servers and public residence hall space.
Provost David Shulenburger said the message's intention is to reduce the likelihood that the actions of a campus organization or faculty member would draw the attention of state officials.
"We just don't want to be in a situation where the University gets penalized by the state either through a fine or through having appropriations reduced or anything else," Shulenburger said.
The Provost's office issued similar statements as recent elections have neared, mainly to prevent the recurrence of incidents in which University property was used to spread partisan political messages.
"They are state rules, and state rules we have to follow."
Shulenburger said that Universitye-mail servers and fax machines have been used for such purposes during previous elections. Punishments for such infractions don't usually make it to the jurisdiction of officials in Topeka.
onlmas say "We've generally said 'quit it,' and that has been effective." Shulenburger said.
While some students may balck at the impression that their right at free expression is censored by the
University policies, Ted Frederickson, professor of journalism, said the Provost's message is a way for the University to weigh two conflicting ideals.
"A state university has to perform a bit of a balancing act between adhering to those restrictions while still protecting the First Amendment rights of students and faculty to speak freely about politics, economics, philosophy or anything." Frederickson said.
Registered political student groups, like the College Republicans and Young Democrats, enjoy some protections under the guidelines. But even the remaining regulations do not appear to significantly hinder their campaign activities.
Josh Steward, College Republicans vice-chairman, said his organization's goals are not impacted significantly by the regulations.
"We can still use e-mail to send out notices to our members, and to try to get interested people to show up to our meetings," Steward said. "We wouldn't want to use mass e-mails anyway, because people don't read them."

upcoming elections," Frederickson said. "They simply can't mount organized campaigns using University workers, offices, photocopiers and computer networks."
The only incident she remembered was the provost's office receiving a call that a person was contacted by a political candidate's office at work. Johnson told the person to inform the office to stop calling if it happened again.

McCoy: Army takes KU athlete
man who has taken a unique path to Kansas. From days growing up in an Ohio town, changing the fate of his high school football team to joining the military and moving to California, friends say McCoy's story is an inspiring one about a great teammate who has always stood out. Growing Up
Richwood, a town of 4,800, is like most small towns: Football is central to the town's pride. Each week most of the community would be at the Friday night high school football game. McCoy became part of this tradition at a young age.
McCoy,a would-be senior,is the oldest of three children. All three grew up in the rural agricultural community of Richwood,Ohio.
"One night, John looked up at me and said 'Mama, when I'm bigger, I'm gonna play football,'" Mary said.
Mary McCoy, John's mother, said she took her son to the football games every Friday. Her husband was working, but the two of them made it a priority.
Although McCoy's father, Terry
It was clear at an early age that McCoy's passion was football, Marv said.
McCoy, couldn't make it to all the games, he coached his son through years of pee-wee football.
"When John was playing, he was completely serious," Mary said. "He just isolates himself from everything but the game. We could never be the parents who waved from the stands or yelled out 'Hi John!' He was focused."
"John would tell me I pray God gets me through another game, so I can be the best I can be." Mary said.
Mary said. McCoy would tell her, "I just love the smell of the field," Mary said.
McCoy also carried a deep faith onto the playing field, praying before each game, Mary said.
McCoy worried that some people would object to his praying before games, but he told his mother that he would walk off the field before he would give up his prayers, Mary said.
"I told John that if he had to walk off the field, we'd walk off right behind him," Mary said.
Struggling to succeed
At North Union High School in Richwood, Ohio, McCoy
Mary, however, refused to let her child settle for football fame. She stayed up with McCoy until midnight or later before every test, Mary said.
brent Chapman, McCoy's high school coach, said he was not the only football player to struggle.
excelled on the field but often struggled in the classroom.
McCoy wanted to improve his grades so that he could play at college, Mary said, but the challenge was difficult.
He devoted much of his time to improving his skills on the playing field, often staying after practice to work on his speed.
"His teammates and his opponents respected the heck out of him," Chapman said. "John was a great guy; best linebacker I've ever coached."
McCoy's high school team went 9-1 his senior year, a big change from the team's record in the past.
McCoy's efforts also earned him honors as an individual. He was named the Central District player of the year his senior year and was the only unanimous all-district first team selection Chapman has ever seen, Chapman said
Coming out of high school, McCoy had the skills to play for a
Division 1-A school,but his grades were still not good enough.
Without a scholarship, McCoy had to find another way to pay for school, a responsibility he insisted he would take on himself. After discussing his options with his uncle, a member of the Air Force, McCoy decided to enlist in the Ohio National Guard.
He was gone within thirty days.
Off to California
McCoy's army training took him to California. And when he was complete, McCoy enrolled at Victor Valley Community College, a junior college in Novato, Calif. He became an integral part of the football team, coached by Doug Hoover.
"Before I came to Victor Valley, it was the worst junior college football program in the country." Hoover said. "During McCoy's two years here, we had two of the school's four winning seasons in its 50-year history of football."
At Victor Valley, McCoy worked hard to be noticed by major athletic programs. He was honored as an All-American his sophomore year, recording 114 tackles.
"I haven't been around a better athlete, a better person," Hoover said. "He was the real deal."
When Division 1-A schools

began looking at McCoy,he was immediately attracted to Kansas because of the possibility of helping another struggling program.
As a reserve defensive end last season, McCoy played in 12 games and recorded 11 tackles. After going through an adjustment period last season, he excelled in this year's spring game. Going into this season, McCoy was first on the depth chart with junior Jermail Ashley listed second.
insert second With McCoy's impending deployment, Ashley will likely step into his starting spot.
step into his starting spot McCoy will maintain his final year of athletic eligibility, and Mangino has said that whenever McCoy can come back, he will have a spot with the team.
McCoy is expected to spend at least one full year in Iraq.
His teammates will miss his presence on the field.
"John McCoy is a great loss," said David McMillan, senior defensive end. "Sometimes he'd be my motivator. I'd see him running, and I'd try to run faster and catch up. He's a great loss, but we've got to move on from it."
An exercise science major, McCoy completed two years toward his degree at Victor Valley and one at the University of Kansas. Answering the call
In April, McCoy and the rest of his unit were put on alert for potential mobilization. In July, they were told that they would soon depart for Iraq.
"John's never said one thing negative about this entire thing. He's going to do what he has to do," Mary said.
His coaches and family repeatedly spoke of the determination and unwavering commitment McCoy gave to this assignment.
In the weeks since her son told her he was leaving for Iraq, Mary has found herself paying more attention to the news. While she knows what McCoy will be doing is dangerous, she takes solace in her son's outlook on the situation.

As she looked around the car's front dash, rear-view mirror and back window, Rachael, a student ticket writer for the University of Kansas Parking Department, checked for a valid parking permit.
Rachel, who prefers her last name not be used, found one, but it looked slightly bent. As she looked more closely, she noticed the bottom of the permit had been altered to validate its expiration date.
In the past four years, the Parking Department has confiscated 108 fake parking permits. Each year, the number has increased.
This year, students caught with a fake permit will be fined $100 plus a $30 towing fee. The fine — an increase of $35 from last year — went into effect Aug. 1. It is intended to stress the crime of falsifying parking permits.
"There's sort of an attitude out there that it's not really stealing, it's only parking," said Donna Hultine, Parking Department director.
In addition to the fine, the department may revoke the guilty student's parking privileges for one year, and it sends a breach of conduct letter to the dean of students. Often, the conduct officer in the office of the dean of students places the student on disciplinary probation.
According to Jane Tuttle, assistant to the dean of students and conduct officer, the University works to ensure students understand the seriousness of their offense.
So far its process has worked,
Over the years, the Parking Department has changed the medium of the permits to balance the department's needs with those of the permit holders.
In 1993, the Parking Department replaced the window sticker permit with a tag that hangs from the car's rear-view mirror as part of a five-year permit for faculty and staff that could be renewed.
she said — she hasn't had a repeat customer yet.
Because the parking pass was only moderately successful, Hultine said the department decided to return to the original yearly permit and window sticker.
"It'll be so much easier to just walk down a row of cars and hit [the tag] with a bar code wand to make sure it hasn't been stolen or make sure it's valid," Hultine said.
sticker. However, the faculty and staff wanted to keep the hanging tag, Hultine said. In 1998, the department gave the faculty, staff and students a choice between the sticker and the hanging tag.
Hultine said she hoped that the new permit would be nearly impossible for students to copy: Made from a more translucent material with a hologram, it is more difficult to replicate.
Try as they might, the department can't stop everyone.
mits also provided students with a better opportunity to create fake permits because hangtags are more maneuverable.
But this choice between per-
Rachael laughed at the memory of some of the permits the department had found. This one was larger than the normal proportional three-by-six-inch shape, she said. But that wasn't the only clue it was fake. The permit was colored in with a crayon.
It was at this time that the department started noticing more fake permits.
The number of tickets written for this violation has risen from 15 in 2001 to 36 tickets in 2004
These growing numbers have forced the department to change its policy. The department raised the fine because a yearlong parking permit costs $85.

This static-cling sticker will be placed on the car's front windshield, but can also be moved from car to car.
The new $100 ticket ties the fine for parking in a handicap space as the largest ticket amount in the department. Beginning in fall 2005, the department will once again revert to the sticker permit, this time offering no secondary option.
Hultine said it isn't fair that students with fake permits could pay less than students who pay for real permits.

Company recieves national research grant
A drug that developers hope will help treat ovarian cancer patients has earned the Lawrence company that developed it a grant to help fund more research.
The National Institutes of Health awarded a $100,000 grant to CrillTech, a Lawrence company working in cooperation with the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.
CritiTech has been working with the center on a new cancer drug, Nanotax, which will treat ovarian cancer. CritiTech researched and developed a process that converts existing drugs into very small particles, or nanoparticles. Nanoparticles help the spread of the drug throughout the body and increase the effectiveness of the drug in humans. Bala Subramaniam, director of the KU Center of Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis, developed the process.
MIAMI—Actor Danny Glover backed out of a cruise commemorating the Haitian bicentennial, saying he did not want to appear to support the government installed after Jean-Bertrand Aristide was ousted as president.
Katherine Roby, research associate professor of anatomy and cell biology and member of the Kansas Masonic Cancer Research Institute, said the grant from NIH would provide more funding for testing. Testing of Nanotax will involve looking closer at how the drug works and where it goes in the body, Roby said.

Actor Glover turns down going on Haitian cruise
Poet Sonia Sanchez also canceled.
Nanotax is a new form of a standard chemotherapeutic drug, Taxol. Nanotax is different from Taxol, because Nanotox consists of fine particles suspended in a physiological solution, which is less harsh on the body. Taxol is dissolved in cremaphor, which is a harsh solvent. Cremaphor allows the cancer cells to receive Taxol, but it also causes severe side effects in cancer patients. Nanotox would cause fewer severe side effects.
Roby said when researchers tested Nanotax on mice, the results showed that Nanotax had worked better than Taxol and had extended the life of the mouse.
"Due to the increasingly critical political situation in Haiti, which resulted in a loss of life, oppression and incarceration of thousands of Haitians, I have canceled my participation," Glover told The Miami Herald before the Caribbean cruise set sail on Saturday.
"Our hope is to have better treatment for cancer patients," Roby said.
Roby said the grant and CritTech's research showed how the University can support a small business and help it become successful. Without the support of the University, the grant and research might not have happened, Roby said.
Sam Campbell, chief executive officer and chairman of CritiTech said the grant gave a lot of people recognition for the hard work they had done.
"It is a good example of how the University can work with companies and enterprises to bring about significant results," Campbell said.

About 500 people paid $1,500 to $2,500 to take the seven-day cruise. Celebrities taking part include dancer Katherine Dunham and National Urban League President Marc Morial.

Truancy troubles lead to creative solutions
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — As a 40-year-old former teacher, Chris Lazzaro has found a fresh line of work in education. His job is to make sure the back-to-school season never ends.
In San Francisco's new fight against school absenteeism, Lazzaro monitors who is cutting classes at a middle school and a high school where truancy runs high.
He makes sure daily attendance records are accurate and he goes after persistently absent students, reminding their parents or guardians that state law requires the children to show up.
"Often times, parents have been a little bit angry, like I'm bothering them," Lazzaro said of his unannounced house calls. "Or I'll find a child sitting there alone, half-dressed, eating cereal and watching TV. I'll say, 'Get your clothes on, and get to school.' It can be very difficult, but you have to keep persevering to get the students back."
Truancy has long troubled many schools, particularly in urban areas. In a survey this year, nearly half of middle and high school teachers described truancy as a serious problem.
The consequences are clear. Absent students slip behind in academics and get into legal trouble. Schools with high numbers of truants can lose a community's trust and millions of dollars in student aid.
Federal education law requires states to start reporting truancy figures for every school, not just for districts or regions. And attendance is factored into whether many schools make enough progress to avoid landing on the "needs improvement" list, a designation that can force them to let students transfer elsewhere.
Still, truancy remains a second-tier concern, said Tony Woollen, a juvenile detective in Leawood, Kan., who is secretary of the National Association of School Resource Officers.
At a recent conference, Woollen asked 50 school-based police officers about truancy in their schools. Three-quarters said they had no programs in place to address the problem. Most said their priority is stopping gang activity, bullying and sex offenses at school.
president of the Education Commission of the States Clearinghouse, which tracks education policies.
Every state requires school attendance, yet some do not enforce those laws aggressively or cannot do so because the laws are vague, said Kathy Christie, vice
The best way to deal with the problem, Woollen said, is to find a community approach.
School districts have tried, with mixed success, incentives and penalties to get students back. These include student-tracking ID cards, parenting classes, special re-entry classes, truancy courts and grandparent patrols, as well as parties and concerts to reward attendance.
"Any kid growing up is going to be pushing on the walls to see what they can get away with," he said. "If the solid walls aren't there, from the school district, the police department, the community, then why should the child go to school? But with a team concept, it doesn't matter which of the walls they push on. They're all
Beyond students who see classes as having little relevance to their lives, some students miss school to take care of a sibling or earn money for their family. Others skip to avoid harassment or physical abuse by other students, or the public embarrassment of being behind academically.
And some students just would rather not do the work.
Yet parents also get reminders of the potential penalties once students become habitual truants after the sixth unexcused absence. These include fines and reduced welfare aid for parents, and the revocation of driver's licenses for older students.
The district has created a stay-in-school coalition, drawing in help from many sources, from the mayor's office to the housing authority. It has added specialists such as Lazzaro, called attendance liaisons, in the neediest schools. Parents get letters, calls, visits and offers of help as absences mount. The goal is to have an answer for every obstacle or excuse that comes up.
That's what the San Francisco Unified School District is trying
District Attorney Kamala Harris is working with the schools to prevent truancy through intervention and school safety programs. She also has made it clear that she will prosecute those who flout the law.
going to stand up."
"I have yet to meet parents who clam up when people are sitting at the table with them offering help," said Susan Wong, the district's executive director of student services.
"We're not criminalizing the
kids," said Louise Renne, the district's general counsel. "Failing to act — that's criminalizing the kids."
A city grand jury last year found attendance laws have not been consistently enforced in 25 years, and that without change, the number of students receiving a diploma would drop markedly. The problem has been particularly troubling for black and Hispanic students, who have a disproportionately high truancy rate.
As administrator of a busy dropout-prevention office, Art Walker spent the better part of a day late last spring trying to get just one child, a boy named Francisco, back to school.
Making the plan work takes time—and persistence.
Walker went to the boy's temporary home, the back room of his grandmother's store, to confirm his living situation. Through a Spanish-speaking interpreter, Walker told the boy's mom about help available to her. He also said that her son must be in school or the district attorney would get involved.

Newest Sprint phone offers multimedia clips
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OVERLAND PARK — Channel surfing just moved from the couch to your cell phone.
Sprint will release its new PCS Vision multimedia phone tomorrow, which will allow subscribers to select channels of streaming video and audio for news, sports and entertainment.
With picture quality of 15 frames per second, the phone represents a big leap forward from Sprint's MobIT services, which were released last November.
The MM-A700 multimedia phone, produced by Samsung, will retail for $249.99 after a rebate.

The service costs $9.99 per month for a "basic cable" option that includes content from NBC News, Fox Sports, The Weather Channel, a special Olympics news site and a comedy network.
Additional "premium" channels, including CNN, E! Entertainment and premium versions of Fox Sports and The Weather Channel can be purchased for between $3.95 and $4.95 per
The costs are in addition to the $15 monthly fee Sprint subscribers pay to access the Internet from their wireless phones.
The service uses video clips that approach television quality of 20 frames per second. MobiTV, which provides streaming network programming, operates at one or two frames per second.
Sprint officials said they were negotiating with additional content providers and would offer new channels later this year.
Once users have selected a channel, they can select from a list of clips that range from weather in a specific city to news reports on a specific issue. Many of the channels are produced

Tim Kelly, senior vice president for marketing in consumer products at Sprint, declined to give subscriber numbers for MobiTV, but he said the numbers indicated consumers are interested in video programming and want better picture quality.
Linda Barrabe, a telecommunications analyst for The Yankee Group, said the market for video products on wireless phones was still new and that it was difficult to tell how much users would be willing to pay for such services.
"We've had a lot of success with consumers with wireless
But she said the high frame speeds and cable television sales model should help Sprint attract customers willing to invest in new technology.

Polish Nobel Prize winner, poet Milosz dies at 93
The Associated Press
WARSAW, Poland — Polish poet and Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz, known for his intellectual and emotional works about some of the worst cruelties of the 20th century, died Saturday, the Polish news agency PAP reported. He was 93.
The report, quoting his son Antoni and his daughter-in-law Joanna, said he died at his home in Krakow. It gave no cause of death.
Milosz had lived in Krakow since the fall of the Iron Curtain allowed him to return home after almost 30 years in exile in France and the United States, a time in which he became a prominent symbol for anti-communist dissidents.
shook communist rule in Poland.
He was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1980, an honor that coincided with the emergence of the Solidarity worker protest movement that
Milosz's best-known works include The Captive Mind, a study of the plight of intellectuals under communist dictatorship. It brought him international fame in the early 1950s.
Born to a noble family in what is now Lithuania, Milosz lived through the World War II Nazi regime and the Stalinist tyranny that wiped out the culture in which he grew up.
Once a diplomat for communist Poland, he broke with the regime and emigrated to the United States, coming back to live in his native country only after Poland won freedom in 1989.
He was "a witness to crucial and terrible events of the 20th century, and an original and contrary thinker — and feeler — about them," said Robert Hass, a University of California at Berkeley professor who translated Milosz's poetry.
matter and technique, and its mix of sensuousness and references to culture, religion and philosophy.
Milosz's poetry was praised for its enormous range of subject
"How do you write about suffering and still be able to approve of the world at the same time? If you really think about the horror of the world, the only suitable attitude seems to be to reject it." Milosz told the Polish weekly Tygodnik Powszechnv in 2001

"I've always regretted that I'm made of contradictions. But, if contradiction is impossible to overcome, we have to accept both its ends."
his eras.
Milosz also carried the burden of being an intellectual in exile, one whose poems were only published in his native country after he was awarded the Nobel Prize.
"The birth of Solidarity and martial law made Milosz a myth, which he couldn't entirely shake off — a myth of anti-communist militant, fighter for freedom," said Milosz biographer Lukasz Stadnicki. "Even if he didn't want
it, he had to face the role of national prophet."
Exile and the feelings of being a foreigner intensified the theme of memory in his work. He often explored the problem of roots in his writing.
The Isaa Valley, published in 1955, tells the story of the poet's childhood. A View of San Francisco Bay, published in 1969, traces the poet's efforts to find his own place in the United States where, in his words, he "remained an outcast."
Aleksander Flut, a philology professor at Krakow's Jagiellonian University said Milosz attained new relevance amid the post-communist change that swept Poland.
Milosz looked "for hope in what's beyond the sphere of everyday life which is so fragile, beyond the consumption," Fiut told The Associated Press.
"He refers to religious imagination, he upholds that a human
being is a value."
Milosz was born on June 30, 1911, in Szetejnie, now Lithuania, and studied law at the University in Vilnius. There, he published his first book of poems, "Three Winters," in 1936.
The themes of his early poetry were a portent of his later works, a historical perspective combined with individual experience of the world, expressed in simple images of the idyllic and the apocalyptic.
After World War II, Milosz served in communist Poland's diplomatic service as a cultural attache in New York and Paris. In 1951, he severed ties with the government and sought political asylum in France, entering into cooperation with a Paris-based institute that specialized in Polish emigre literature.
The Cold War peak of the early 1950s was a period of great loneliness for him, during which he said he often thought about suicide. His works, written in Polish, did
not reach his native country because of communist censorship, and he was unknown to foreign readers.
The essay collection The Captive Mind, written during that time, became a classic of the literature of totalitarianism and made him internationally known.
In 1960, Milosz left France for California, where he spent more than 20 years as Professor of Slavic Languages and Literature at Berkeley. English-speaking audiences got access to his poetry only in 1973, when some of his work was translated in Selected Poems.
Poems.
At 90, Milosz said he was still up at night writing poems.
"It's not possible to be sated with the world. I'm still insatiable," he said. "At my age, I'm still looking for a form, for a language to express the world."
Milozs' first wife, Janina, died in 1986. His second wife, Carol, a U.S.-born historian, died in 2003.
Cooking legend Julia Child's legacy: 'She got us cooking'
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Julia Child had a recipe for teaching Americans to make classy food: combine the art of a master chef with chirpy humor and the occasional gourmet pratfall.
And don't forget the wine.
her niece said.
For generations of Americans, she was a 6-foot-2 kitchen icon, sharing her delight of French cuisine through her TV show and cookbooks. Her warbling voice and cheery manner merited endless parodies but her contribution to U.S. gourmet cooking was undeniable.
Child died early Friday at her home in an assisted-living center in Montecito, about 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles, said her niece, Philadelphia Cousin
Child, who had suffered from liver failure, died in her sleep two days before her 92nd birthday.
She was a "great, great figure of the art of cooking" said top French chef Alain Ducasse, who knew Child.
"Her enthusiasm for cooking was endless. Ms. Child was an inspired ambassador of cuisine in the United States," Ducasse said in a statement, "Today, the entire community of cooks is sad and feels like orphans."
Child was 51 when she made her television debut as The French Chef. The series began in 1963 and continued for 206 episodes. Child won a Peabody award in 1965 and an Emmy the following year. She went on to star in several more series for Boston's WGBH-TV.
"She was incredibly smart, and if she wanted to learn something, she set about learning it," said Russell Morash, who produced The French Cook and other public television shows featuring Child as recently as the mid-1990s.
fecently it was how to make French bread, or how to prepare the perfect omelet, she would take the trouble to learn about something, and then she mastered it in a way that I never saw anone else do," Morash said.
Her gourmet philosophy included drinking. In one TV program, chef and friend Jacques Pepin asked what kind of wine she preferred with picnics — red or white.
"I like beer," Child said enthusiastically, pulling out a cold bottle and two glasses.
Child also expressed a fondness for hamburgers, which she ate while recovering from 2002 knee-replacement surgery.
"We'd go to the market, and she'd buy Wonder Bread," Pepin said in a telephone interview. "She had no snobbism about food whatsoever."
She wasn't always tidy in the kitchen, and just like the rest of us, sometimes dropped things or had trouble getting a cake out of its mold.

"If she made a mistake on TV she would keep going." Moulton said. "Here was this 6-foot-2 woman with a warbly voice dropping the meat on the burner and saying 'No big deal.' So why should I be nervous about cooking? Her real legacy is she got us cooking."
Last year, President Bush awarded Child the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor.
"She was more than a pioneer, a legend or a giant. She's the rock
Her custom-designed kitchen including small utensils, personal cookbooks and six-burner Garland commercial range has been on display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
that started the avalanche that changed the way America eats," said Brooke Johnson, president of the Food Network, which will air a documentary on Child Aug 22.
When World War II began, she joined the Office of Strategic Services, forerunner of the CIA. She was sent off to do clinical chores in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), where she met Paul Child, a career diplomat who later became a photographer and painter.
Child was born in Pasadena, Calif. and graduated from Smith College in 1934 with a history degree.
They married in 1946 and two years later were sent to Paris.
In France, she enrolled in the famed Cordon Bleu cooking school and also met Simone Beck and Louise Bertholle, with whom she collaborated on Mastering the Art of French Cooking. The book was nine years in the
making and became mandatory for anyone who took cooking seriously.
It was published in 1961 and was followed by The French Chef Cookbook; Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Vol. II, with Beck; From Julia Child's Kitchen; Julia Child & Company; Julia Child & More Company; and The Way to Cook, in October 1989.
Recently, she teamed with fellow television chef Jacques Pepin for the 1994 PBS special, Julia Child & Jacques Pepin: Cooking in Concert and a 1996 sequel, More Cooking in Concert.
Child's husband died in 1994. A longtime resident of Cambridge, Mass., she moved to Santa Barbara in late 2001. The couple had no children.
A private memorial service was planned, but Child asked that no funeral be held.

Kerry's stepson shuns limelight
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Associated Press
H. John Heinz IV is pictured during the 100th Anniversary Gala of the Sarah Heinz House at the Omni William Penn in Pittsburgh May 26, 2001. He refused to reply to inquiries about the campaign of his stepfather, John Kerry, the Heinz foundation or his own work and ambitions.
OTTSVILLE, Pa. — Teresa Heinz Kerry once hinted at tensions with her first-born son, a 37-year-old blacksmith who seeks an anonymous life with his wife and child in rural Pennsylvania.
But if H. John Heinz IV is noticeably absent from his stepfather John Kerry's presidential campaign and in news photos of the high-wattage Heinz-Kerry clan, his activist interests — the environment, youth, local programs — mirror much of the focus of his family's $1.5 billion Heinz Endowment charities.
He operates a small Buddhist high school for troubled teens, and makes reproduction ironwork in a studio on his secluded property, land he has conserved so it can never be developed.
On a much larger scale, Teresa Heinz Kerry has steered money to the environment, education and local art and cultural groups as chairwoman of the Pittsburgh-based Heinz Endowments.
Heinz Kerry's eldest son lives with his physician wife, Kristann, on a farm near Philadelphia, refusing all inquiries about Kerry's campaign, the Heinz foundation or his own work and ambitions.
Heinz Kerry told The Washington Post in a 2002 profile that John started "hating her" after his daughter Astrid — her only grandchild — was born in 2000. She did not elaborate and her eldest son did not comment afterward.
John Heinz surfaced briefly in
the news at a 2001 cocktail gala for a Heinz enrichment program for Pittsburgh children, warranting a small notice in a Pittsburgh newspaper, but generally asked friends and family to help guard his privacy.
Heinz Kerry plans to honor that request throughout the campaign, a spokeswoman said.

Prime Minister Tony Blair "When he condemned the war in Iraq ... he pictured it this way: Baghdad was happy and safe until cowboys Bush and Blair came," Saudi columnist Reem al-Saleh wrote in Kuwait's Al-Siyasah daily.
"He ignored 50 years of muscle-flexing invasions, villages massacred by chemical weapon
... millions of bodies, and mass graves. He has no right to hide the full truth."
Gianluca Chacra, whose Dubai-based company released the film in the Middle East, said attendance is at blockbuster proportions.
portions.
"We were quite scared that due to the Saudi content it might not pass," Chacra said.
In the United Arab Emirates, the information minister, in an
unusual step, asked to see it first, then approved it. In Jordan, the censors insisted the Saudi content be cut, Chacra said. They later took the film to "higher authorities," who OK'd it in full, he added.
Kuwait banned the film on the spot, Chacra said. He did not bother showing it to the censors in Saudi Arabia, where there are no movie theaters, only videos.
only videos. In Syria, Yousef Dakalbab, head of distribution at the government-run Public Cinema Organization, said the film "may be shown or may be banned."
Fahrenheit 9/11 is playing in Lebanon and Israel and will open in Egypt later this month.
Emerging from a Beirut theater, 22-year-old student Shafiq Nassif said the film showed dead and mutilated Iraqis that Americans do not see much of on their TV screens.
"It's good that Americans can get to see this," he said.
Sulaiman al-Hattlan, a U.S.-educated Saudi columnist for the Walatan newspaper, said Moore lacked objectivity, and made too much of the U.S. Saudi relationship.
"The movie is using the Saudis as scapegoats for domestic, political issues in the U.S." he said.
Still, al-Hattlan enjoyed Fahrenheit 9/11.
"In every Arab country we need one Michael Moore or more," he said.

New Jersey Gov. James E. McGreevey addressed a news conference Thursday at the Statehouse in Trenton, N.J., as his wife, Dina Matos McGreevey, middle, and his mother, Veronica McGreevey, listen. McGreevey announced that he would resign effective Nov. 15 and admitted that he is a homosexual and had a consensual affair with a man.
Governor comes out, resigns office
A
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
From liberal Massachusetts to conservative Arizona, gay politicians have gone public and survived. New Jersey Gov. James E. McGreevey's decision to come out on live television could have made him the most prominent among them — the nation's first openly gay governor.
8500
But there was much more to it than McGreevey's sexual orientation — allegations of sexual harassment and rumors of being blackmailed, on top of months of fund-raising investigations and indictments. And that, say gay activists and political strategists, is what made all the difference: It wasn't McGreevey's homosexuality but his political missteps that mean the end of his career.
"I think gayness is being used," said Alan Rosenthal, a Rutgers University political science professor. "It's not the root cause of his resignation. And it's certainly not the root cause of McGreevey's demise."
Many things force politicians out of office - allegations of corruption, sex, infidelity. Rarely is it all of them.
If it were homosexuality alone, there's much to argue he could have stayed. Rep. Jim Kolbe, (R-Ariz.) declared his orientation in 1996 as a gay magazine prepared to "out" him, and has not lost a race since. Democratic Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts was reprimanded for hiring a male prostitute as an aide, but has held his office since 1980.
"Why would you resign just because the public now knows you're gay?" said Jennifer Veiga, a Democratic Colorado state senator who came out to her constituents while seeking her fourth term as a state House member. She's won two elections since.
she said. "It's a question of people seeing gay and lesbians in public life and understanding that we are the same as them, we share the same values. And we even make mistakes."
McGreevey himself, in a painfully revealing confession with his wife and parents by his side, said his sexual orientation should be no bar: "It makes little difference that as governor I am gay." Rather, it was "the circumstances surrounding the affair" that made the office "vulnerable to false allegations and threats of disclosure."
Those circumstances the first-term Democrat chose not to explain, taking no questions after his brief announcement Thursday.
Sources have said only anonymously that the man involved in the affair was Golan Cipel, an Israeli poet who briefly was the state's homeland security adviser.
driven.
A senior McGreevey political
adviser told The Associated Press that Cipel threatened McGreevey several weeks ago that unless he was paid "millions of dollars," Cipel would file a lawsuit charging the governor with sexual harassment.
On Friday, Cipel's lawyer claimed the governor made repeated sexual advances toward his former employee and has now made him the victim of a "smear campaign."
Cipel's ties to the governor had already brought complaints, after he got the security post in 2002 without any background check or official announcement, and a $110,000 salary. He was reassigned a few months later and soon after left government.
when the governor's top campaign donor was charged with trying to thwart a federal campaign-finance investigation by luring a witness — his own brother-in-law — into a compromising position with a prostitute and sending the video to the man's wife.
That controversy was followed by questions about other McGreevey associates, appointees, friends and fundraisers caught in scandals, investigations or indictments. The most lurid, until now, was
"You've got to put this in context with the difficulties he was facing," said Neil Newhouse, a Republican political strategist. "He was just political toast."
The governor said his resignation wouldn't take effect until Nov. 15 to avoid a special election, a delay Republicans have criticized.
"I don't think it has to do with being gay, or even an extramarital affair," said Rosenthal, who has studied New Jersey politics for years. "This was just the last thing. People got together — Democratic leaders got together
Democratic leaders got goat — and let the governor know they've just got to have another candidate."
Boeing buyout picks up steam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — With one key union already on board, organizers of a proposed employee buyout of Boeing Co.'s commercial operation in Wichita have begun campaigning for the broad support needed to offer a serious bid
A small group of Boeing Wichita workers and union leaders formed a coalition earlier this month to devise an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, or ESOP. The effort gained critical backing Thursday with a vote of support from the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace in Wichita.
Only about 20 employees of Boeing Wichita turned out Friday for an informational meeting that had been publicized at least a week earlier.
But thousands of filers have been circulated, and a presentation to members of the Machinists union was set for Saturday following that union's monthly meeting
ing that union is a victory. "People are aware," said Richard Phenneger of Phenneger & Morgan, a spokane, Wash.-based consulting firm that works on ESOP efforts and is advising the Wichita coalition.
Officials of Chicago-based Boeing officials have been seeking a buyer for the Wichita plant. Boeing CEO Harry Stonecipher said last month that he expects a decision on whether to sell will be made by year's end.
Boeing Wichita has about 12,300 employees _about 7,000 in its commercial airplane facility and the rest in the military airplane operation, which would be unaffected by the sale.
Among those attending Friday's meeting at a Wichita middle school was electrical engineer David Moffett, who recently joined the grassroots effort.
"If the company wants to sell the place, let's sell to employees," Moffett said.
Phenneger told those in atten-

dance that Boeing employees would not have to come up with the money to buy the operation.
In the next two weeks, he said he expects to have a letter of intent from an investment banking group. The group would line up investors to finance the purchase of the facility once Boeing accepted a bid.
Because of the tax benefits in ESOP programs, investors recognize the benefits to them, Phenneger said.
nager said.
Employees gain ownership of the company as the debt to the investors is retired, he said.
The next step is to form an employee steering committee to include representatives from Boeing's unions, which would develop operating procedures.
Before submitting a bid to Boeing, the group must raise from $200,000 to $300,000 to cover research and other costs.
Most of the money would come from employees, who would agree to contribute $100 each, said John Hood, a Boeing employee helping spearhead the effort. All the money would be refunded if a bid were unsuccessful, organizers said.
A similar but smaller effort to buy a Boeing facility in Spokane, Wash., through an ESOP was unsuccessful. Boeing ultimately sold the facility to Triumph Group.
But the bid made the cut from one of 20 to the top five, said SPEEA president Jennifer MacKay, who helped with the effort.
The new owner cut wages and jobs of the workers but not those of the managers, MacKay said.
"The company made decisions we had no control over," she said

Religious opportunities abundant for new students
THE GREAT TRUTH
Kit Leffler/KANSAN
A crowd of men kneel during spoken prayer at the Islamic Center of Lawrence Friday afternoon. The center serves citizens of many different ethnicities, including Arabic, Turkish, Persian, Indian, Filipino, African-American, and Caucasian peoples.

AYLAND@KANSAN.COM
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Ariful Huq noticed several changes besides geography and climate when coming to a new country for school.
For Hug, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia senior, and many other students at the University of Kansas, coming to Lawrence involves finding a new place of worship.
"For me, it's not that bad," Huq, who is also the president of the Muslim Student Association, said. "We have a mosque here in Lawrence. There's not a lot of difference for me between praying in Malaysia or praying in Lawrence."
He said there are a good number of Muslims here, and is glad the Lawrence Islamic Center is here to serve that population.
Steve Kawiecki, president of the Kansas University Religious Advisors and associate pastor at First Baptist Church, 1530 Kasold Drive, said that finding a church is not difficult if the church is similar to what the student is accustomed to. Kawiecki said he could envision potential problems if a student thinks the new church does not measure up to an old church that the student previously attended.
Kansas University Religious Advisors help students with this process by pointing them in the direction of a group that matches their interests based on surveys filled out at freshman orientation.
The survey asks students to check a list of religious organizations if they want more information.
Sometimes a student can decide to become more reli-
gliously involved than they have been before, according to Polli Kenn, program director for KU Hillel.
"For people who have been involved their whole life, the transition is easier," she said.
Kenn said a challenge for KU Hillel is to provide religious services for the marginally and extremely interested. KU Hillel does this by providing nondenominational services and by helping students expand religious involvement to a social peer group.
"T there's not a lot of difference for me
between between praying in Malaysia or praying in Lawrence."
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, senior
Ariful Huq
"College is a time of exploration," Kenn said. "There's a lot to explore, not just religion."
In choosing a new place of worship, word of mouth is often the best advertisement, according to Father Vince Krische, head priest at St. Lawrence Catholic Center, 1631 Crescent Road.
"I've not felt left out at any time," he said. "I'm treated as any other student."
Krische said that it is often easy for Catholics to adjust to a new church because worship is the same all over the world. He said his church attracts students by contacting all the Catholic churches and high schools in the state of Kansas and letting them know of the church's presence.
"We like to get students involved as soon as possible," he said.
Huq said that the transition to this point is successful for him, and he fits in well in the University community. He attends Friday sabbath services at the Islamic Center of Lawrence.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — The Marshall University Southern Baptist ministry is starting a revolution.
The newly titled group Revolution, formerly called the Baptist Student Union or BSU, changed its name in April to avoid confusion between other groups on campus and involve more students in the organization, said Revolution Director Dan Byrd.
"It has changed its face but has always been here as a ministry," Bvrd said.
Across the country, BSU groups are changing their names to Baptist Campus Ministries so students won't be confused with
the Black Student Union, a national organization that promotes unity among African-American students, said Byrd and Marshall Black United Students President Byron Holmes.
But on Marshall's campus, BCM is already an American Baptist organization, Byrd said.
The two Baptist groups, BSU and BCM, further confused students. Students would invite their friends to come to a BSU Bible study and end up at a BCM event, Byrd said. So the BSU leadership team opted for a complete name change, he said. The group also wanted the opportunity to reach students who may not like the idea of church.
Without the word Baptist in its title, Revolution hopes students from other denominations will feel comfortable participating in
the organization, said Revolution president Joey Spurgeon.
The organization offers students a weekly worship service, small group Bible studies throughout the week, drama and music ministry opportunities in area churches and a lunch-hour prayer time every Tuesday and Thursday at noon, byrd said.
Other upcoming Revolution events include a collegiate fall retreat Sept. 25 and Joe Pix event at the Marshall vs. University of Miami football game Sept. 29, he said.
Revolution members will take digital photographs outside the stadium that can be viewed at http://www.joepix.com and printed for free, Byrd said.
"Small groups are the only things that need a level of commitment." Byrd said. "Students
Revolution hopes its new name will spark new life in the organization. Its name means a momentous change, Spurgeon said. Byrd would like to see the group of 35 students grow to 50 students participating in small groups and 100 in the Monday night worship service, he said.
need to get involved in the beginning."
"We want to see our school and campus changed for God," Spurgeon said.
Byrd came to Marshall in November 2003 from Boston, where he helped start a Southern Baptist church. Byrd also spent nine years in youth ministry and has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Biblical Studies from Asbury College near Lexington, Ky, and a Master of Divinity Degree from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

MINNEAPOLIS—The crowd cheered as a BMX biker jumped 6 feet in the air, flying over a man with his hands extended upward. The biker wheeled over to one corner of the 9,000-square-foot skate park and sat among a group of skateboarders and BMX bikers for a photo opportunity.
Before the camera flashed, one skateboarder held up his board with the word "jesus" painted on the underside.
The custom-built skate park was part of the Twin Cities Festival, a free Christian event held this weekend in St. Paul. More than 200,000 attended the event.
which featured evangelist Luis Palau, Christian music and biking and skating shows.
During his talk at the end of the night, Palau prayed aloud with people who wanted to accept Jesus in their hearts.
Festival spokesman Craig Chastain said people praying aloud with Palau were asked to raise their hands so a festival counselor could meet with them and set them up with a church in their area.
Counselors reached about 10,000 people, one of the largest groups in the history of the Palau ministry, according to the Luis Palau Evangelistic Association.
After the Twin Cities, the festival will travel to Madrid, Spain, Fiji and Lima, Peru.

Poker's popularity grows; Moneymaker to play in K.C.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A few years ago casinos across the United States were closing their poker rooms to make space for more popular and lucrative slot machines.
But the improbable triumph in 2003 of a 27-year-old accountant from Tennessee, who beat some of the world's greatest professional players on national television, sent the country into a poker frenzy.
Anybody who watches ESPN probably already knows the story.
A man named Chris Money-
maker won a $40 Texas Hold 'Em
poker tournament on the Internet,
qualified to play in the World
Series of Poker in Las Vegas, then
outlasted a colorful cast of charac-
ters to win $2.5 million.
"When the World Poker Tour got into television and used technology to show the hole cards, it sparked enormous interest in poker," said Gary Thompson, spokesman for Harrah's Entertainment in Las Vegas. "Americans are very competitive people."
"Even after I won the tournament, I didn't believe it would do what's it's done. I had several people tell me I'm going to change the face of poker."
Chris Moneymaker
Poker winner
You can't compete with Tiger Woods on a golf course, or a heavyweight boxer in the ring, but you can compete at a poker table and knock out a world champion."
The skyrocketing popularity of the game prompted Harrah's to buy Binion's Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas earlier this year, and with it, the rights to the World Series of Poker. Thompson said Harrah's, which owned 28 casinos nationwide, recently opened
It plans to add four more at other casinos.
poker rooms at three of its Midwestern casinos.
Harrah's has capitalized on Moneymaker's star status by giving poker players around the nation a chance to compete against the former world champion.
Moneymaker is scheduled to be at the Kansas City, Mo., casino on Aug. 22, and recently played at a similar event at the Harrah's in St. Louis.
"Even after I won the tournament, I didn't believe it would do what it's done," said Money-maker, who four months ago quit his accounting job and became a professional poker player. "I had several people tell me I'm going to change the face of poker."
He did more than that. He became the face of poker. Several Harrah's billboards near interstate highways in Kansas City feature up-close pictures of Moneyup during the penultimate moments of the 2003 tournament.
Harrah's Kansas City casino
Both casinos had poker rooms when they opened a decade ago, but Harrah's shut its live poker tables down in June 1998, and Isle of Capri closed its room in 2000.
opened a poker room on July 15, two weeks after the Isle of Capri opened one at its Kansas City property.
"The popularity of what we have now has mushroomed based on what people see on television," said Tracy Owens, spokesman for Ameristar Casinos, which operates a casino in Kansas City.
"In Kansas City, the poker room is packed on weekends, with 160 to 150 people playing, and on a typical weeknight, we have upwards of 80 to 100 people."
There are signs that poker may have staving power.
A Wichita company earlier this year created the Amateur Poker League, which provides cards, poker chips, table tops and a uniform scoring system to bars for about $225 a night.
Participants get the same amount of chips—for free—and
play until one person wins them all.
Shawn Riley, one of the owners of the Amateur Poker League, said there are about 14,000 registered APL players at 150 locations in Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Chicago and California.
He said about 150 to 200 new members were added each day.
"We were a little concerned about how this would take off in casino towns like Kansas City," Riley said. "But it's doing very well. It's a good place to practice, and you don't lose your rent."
The bars make more money from increased food and drink sales on nights that typically were slow before the poker was offered.
Similar types of games in other states, though, have faced legal problems.
In Minnesota, a bowling alley offered free poker games in which patrons could win prizes such as hats and T-shirts.
But the games were found to be illegal because organizers profited from increased food and
Bar owners in South Dakota Connecticut and Wisconsin also were warned that hosting poker games violated state laws.
drink sales.
In all of those cases, businesses were offering the games in response to demand from customers.
"There's a whole new generation of poker players out there," said Phil Maggio, a pit manager at Harrah's in Kansas City. "A lot of them only know about no-limit hold 'em because that's what they see on TV."
Dave Folks, 55, of Kansas City, who was playing an afternoon game of Texas Hold 'Em recently at Harrah's, said he welcomes the new players who think they can win at the casino after watching the game on television.
"Anybody who watches poker on TV and tries to copy how they play is extremely misled," said Folks, who was wearing a hat he won on the Internet site, ultimatebet.com. "They don't realize that you probably fold 70 percent of your hands if you're a good player."
VOLUNTEERS: four groups aid freshmen, ease moving mayhem

Members kept their sorority identities secret so new women would not develop bias towards a particular house.
Another group that helped on Saturday was the Hall Orientation Team, made up of volunteers from the residence halls. Rachel Rumble-Comerford, assistant director for residence life and advisor to the Association of University Residence Halls, said there were close to 70 total volunteers for the weekend, with 26 of them working Saturday.
She said the team was mostly

made up of freshmen, sophomores and juniors.
After going through training sessions Thursday night and all day Friday, team members were
expected to help with move-in days and Hawk Week, including Rock-A-Hawk and Union Fest.
Team members said there were many benefits of volunteering to help students move in this year. Lon Amick, Overland Park sophomore, said being on the team was a great way to meet people.
"You get to meet people from other dorms and get to know them," Amick said. "It's a good friendship builder."
Another benefit was moving in a couple days early, ahead of the Sunday rush.
The Department of Student
Housing allowed members to move into their rooms on Thursday so they could begin training that evening.
For those who were sophomores and juniors, avoiding the dreaded move-in Sunday was a welcome change.
On Sunday, many volunteers, including the Hall Orientation Team, flooded residence halls, much to the unexpected delight of students and parents. Caitlin Daly, St. Paul, Minn., freshman, said she started moving in at 8:30 a.m. and she was surprised to find a volunteer waiting to help.
"He packed up everything on
a cart and hauled it up to my room," Daly said. "It was awesome."
Chris Foltz, Lenexa freshman, said moving in was a lot of work and the volunteers came as a surprise.
He said the overall move-in experience was not as bad as he thought it would be.
Roney started the day at Templin Hall, but made her way through most of the other halls.
When she was not doing the move-in routine, she spent time introducing herself and getting to know the students and their families.
Many of the other volunteers agreed that meeting new people was one of the biggest reasons
they helped their fellow students.
Rumple-Comerford said the move-in also gives the association a chance to encourage further involvement in the residence halls.
She said that all five students on the executive board were Hall Orientation Team members at one time and she estimated that between 75 and 80 percent of team members continue to be involved in their residence halls.
"Our main goal is to not only have a smooth move-in, but also to promote student leadership," Rumble-Comerford said.

Dead man walking away from jail
Former Kansas City death row inmate gets a second chance
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For nearly two decades, Joe Amrine was known as prisoner number CP48 — the 48th person sentenced to capital punishment in Missouri since the death penalty was reinstated in 1977.
Now, his grandnieces and nephews call him "sucker Joe," he says, admitting he once spent $117 at a convenience store on ball caps and candy for them.
It's been just more than a year since Amrine was freed from death row and walked out of jail with all his possessions in two plastic garbage bags. The prosecution's case fell apart when the former inmates who testified against Amrine in a prison stabbing trial recanted. One of Amrine's attorneys, Arthur Benson, is preparing a wrongful imprisonment suit.
After 26 years in prison, 17 of them on death row, the 47-year-old Kansas City resident is tasting freedom — something that once scared him more than being executed. Amrine said he knows how much is riding on his success.
"For me to screw up, that would really be a terrible blow all around," he said. "So, I feel a lot of pressure. I mean a lot."
A grant of about $30,000 allows him to work full-time for the same attorneys who helped free him. He speaks at gatherings of anti-death penalty activists and reviews claims from inmates seeking help from the Innocence Project at the University of Missouri-Kansas City's law school.
"A lot of the cases the guys claim they are innocent despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary," said Kent Gipson, an attorney with the Public Interest Litigation Clinic in Kansas City. "I think (Amrine's) developed some insight being in prison that long."
The high school dropout also is studying for his GED and wants to become a paralegal. He sometimes sits in on court cases, scribbling notes.
calls until he stopped accepting them, wracking up a phone bill of $875 his first month out of prison and $1,500 the next month.
But despite the grant, there are bills he struggles to pay. Former inmates flooded him with collect
His nine siblings say he moved into his own apartment too soon. They question the new furniture and 60-inch television he bought. Amrine said he doesn't mind the bills.
Amrine was just 20 when he started serving a 15-year sentence for robbery, burglary and forgery. With an older brother already in prison and another brother recently released, Amrine made friends quickly and often found himself in the middle of trouble.
Had he behaved, he said he probably would have been paroled long before 1985 when fellow inmate Gary Barber was stabbed to death. Armeine, who by
"Actually, I love it," he said. "I love the idea of having the responsibility of paying these bills every month — whether I'm late or whether I can't pay it or not. Just the idea of being in the position to try and do it. I love it. I love it to death."
his own admission wasn't a "model inmate by a longshot," was questioned and charged with the killing.
Key testimony against Amrine came from three former inmates, who later said they lied to win special protection for themselves. When he was sentenced to death, he had between 18 months and seven years left to serve.
The other inmates who helped Amrine were Doyle Williams, who beat a man who could have testified against him in the burglary of a small-town doctor's office in 1981; Roy "Hog" Roberts who was convicted of holding a prison guard from behind during a 1983 riot as other inmates repeatedly stabbed him; and Stephen K. Johns who was sentenced to death for killing a gas station clerk during a 1982 robbery that netted $248.
Williams was executed on April 10, 1996; Roberts on March 10, 1999 and Johns on Oct.24, 2001. He said he used to support the death penalty. But not after living it.

State schools seeing benefits from cuts
The Aug. 30 hearing about a challenge to the state's school finance formula is nearing, raising the question of which is more important: funds or focus.
TOPEKA — Good news: Most Kansas schools are making progress toward state and national goals for student achievement.
But the fact that fewer school districts and schools appeared on a preliminary list of those failing to reach yearly targets suggests most schools are adept at doing more with less.
Even more good news: Despite several years of budget cuts, school districts are becoming leaner and more focused.
Kansas has a tradition of strong academic performance and high standards, while being fiscally frugal.
A key Kansas education official believes the gains the state is seeing are the results of changes in 2000 designed to ensure that
teachers cover material in the classroom that will appear on state tests.
Since then, districts have been forced to make significant cuts in spending following four years of tight state budgets and rising costs for items such as utilities and insurance.
"If you look at the areas that the districts are cutting to keep their teaching staff, they are cutting preschool, after-school programs — the additional time," said Alexa Pochowski, assistant education commissioner for learning services.
She said the gains will level off in coming years as the effects of program cuts emerge.
"There is a relentless focus," Pochowski said. "What they are doing now does not require a great deal of resources."
States have improved achievement by aligning curriculum with the standards by which students are measured.
While that takes time and money, it doesn't take a huge infusion of dollars.

Wichita to work on police equality
About half of black officers feel they've been victim to discrimination
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — Black police officers represented by the attorney who recently filed a lawsuit on behalf of four female officers are complaining about widespread discrimination within the city's police department.
The attorney, Lawrence Williamson, said the black officers were making their views known in hopes of resolving their complaints without a lawsuit.
The suit Williamson filed two weeks ago for the female officers said they had experienced sexual harassment and were treated unequally in pay, assignments and promotions.
Williamson represents 30 to 40 black officers who are among 63 in the 645-member department. Female officers total 71.
On Thursday, Mayor Carlos Mayans scheduled a meeting for this week to discuss the allegations from the black officers and other police department con-
"T hat's just a blatant example of
the insensitivity the majority of the Police Department has exhibited toward females and minorities."

cerns.
"These are issues we need to really address," said the mayor, who expressed support for Police Chief Norman Williams.
He will meet with the chief, as well as City Manager George Kolb and Vice Mayor Carl Brewer.
Williams, who is black, has been chief for four years. He challenged some of the allegations from the black officers.
"This organization has promoted diversity, not only in the hiring process but in the area of promotions," he said. "We have strived as an organization to be a rainbow, from top to bottom."
The officers complained that they were subjected to racial epithets from white colleagues, that they are treated unfairly in promotions and discipline and that they have been denied assistance while handling calls, Williamson said.
"They don't get the same support in the field as Caucasian officers do." Williamson said.
The police chief, who met with black officers recently, questioned the allegations.
"Show me where we haven't backed somebody on a call," Williams said. "You can't compromise safety in this organization."
The black officers have also complained to civil rights leaders,
including the Rev. Lincoln Montgomery and local NAACP leader Kevin Mvles.
Myles declined to comment on their allegations other than to say, "It's bad."
The union's president, Kevin Lager, said he had no formal or casual complaints from black officers.
Williamson said the black officers also questioned their representation by the Fraternal Order of Police.
Lager said the issue is being spread by city leaders to draw attention away from stalled negotiations on a new contract for the police officers, at a stalemate after 16 months.
"No one's ever complained to me." Lager said.
Williamson characterized that comment as "ridiculous."
"That's just a blatant example of the insensitivity the majority of the Police Department has exhibited toward females and minorities." Williamson said.
Midwesterner named poet laureate
LINCOLN, Neb. — Great Plains poet Ted Kooer of Nebraska will be the next poet laureate of the United States.
Librarian of Congress James H. Billington officially announced the appointment Aug. 12.
"Ted Kooser is a major poetic voice for rural and small town America and the first poet laureate chosen from the Great Plains," Billington said. "His verse reaches beyond his native region to touch on universal themes in accessible ways."
Kooser, 65, replaces Pulitzer Prize winner Louise Gluck in the eight-month position.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kooser will assume the post in October.
The poet laureate's job carries with it few specific duties, allow-

Previous poets laureate
"I really want to throw myself into this and do what I can to further people's interest in poetry," Kooser said. "I see part of my job as being a promoter of poetry of all kinds."
Kooser has written 10 collections of poetry, most recently "Delights & Shadows," published this year.
His 1980 collection, "Sure Signs," received the Society of Midland Authors Prize for the best book of poetry by a Midwestern writer published in that year.
His 2000 collection, "Winter Morning Walks: One Hundred Postcards to Jim Harrison," won the 2001 Nebraska Book Award for Poetry.

Kooser said he had always been dedicated to writing poetry that people can understand.

"What I think poetry can do is give people fresh ways to look at the world," Kooser said. "I attempt in my poems to take ordinary things and look at them in a new light."
An Iowa native and poet since age 18, Kooser graduated from Iowa State University in 1962 and earned his master's degree in English from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1968.
He is a visiting professor and teaches writing in the University's English department.
Howard Fricke, secretary of administration, told a legislative building committee Friday he hopes to have a better idea of what it would cost to renovate Docking by October.
TOPEKA — State officials hope to have a clearer picture later this fall about the cost of renovating the Docking State Office building near the Statehouse and the future space needs for state employees.
Topeka awaits costs for beautification
Earlier estimates have placed the cost of renovating Docking and the older Landon building, located east of the Statehouse, at between $60 and $100 million.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Legislators must sign off on any proposal to renovate or replace state office buildings.
"We are approaching a life-safety issue in both buildings and something needs to be done," Fricke said.
Architects GLPM, of Lawrence, are conducting the review at a cost of $89,000, Fricke said.
Renovating Docking and applying the new standards could mean the state would be able to consolidate Landon employees in Docking and look for other uses, Fricke said, including turning the building over to private developers.
The building is also a state historic site.
Caleb Asher, spokesman for the Department of Administration, said recent renovation and movement of the Department of Transportation to the nearby Harrison Center had freed space in Docking.
Application of new space standards meant more free space in Harrison.
Currently, Docking is home to the Department of Revenue, Capital Police and Social and Rehabilitation Services.
Landon houses the state treasurer's staff, Department of C

rections, Department of Administration and the division of budget.
The state purchased the Landon building in the 1980s, which was previously the headquarters of the Santa Fe Railroad.
Fricke said deferred maintenance to that building made it inefficient for the state to renovate it to current standards.
Docking, though, is structurally sound, Fricke said, and it is anticipated that it could be renovated cheaper than replacing it and Landon combined.
Rep. Melvin Neufeld, R-Ingalls, said officials must also consider the expense of temporary housing for those agencies if they are moved out of Docking during a renovation.
"I think we need a capital area plan to know where we're going. Piecemeal never works," Neufeld said.
Other legislators questioned why the state appeared to have surplus office space when there was a concern about lack of facilities during Gov. Bill Graves' administration.
Asher said the agency instituted a better property management system to get a clear picture of how much space and how much it was spending annually for leases.
For example, the state leases about 700,000 square feet in Shawnee County alone at a cost of $8.8 million.

University of Maryland may face Internet license fee
By Josh Lustig
The Diamondback,
University of Maryland
VIAU-WIRE
COLLEGE,PARK,Md.—The University of Maryland may be forced to buy a license to continue its use of streaming media files after a complaint was made last month by a California-based company that claims to own the technology.
In July, Acacia Technologies Group sent the university a letter claiming that it has been illegally using a patented technology to
stream video and audio files over the Internet.
Streaming media involves the use of sending audio or video files over the Internet without the user having to download them and is used in programs such as RealPlayer.
Office of Information Technology spokesman Skip Warnick said that in the past, the university has used streaming media to broadcast events such as speeches by former South African President Nelson Mandela and United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan. This past academic year, the technology has been used for events such as Maryland Day and coverage of commencement ceremonies.
OIT policy coordinator Amy Ginther said the university has considered using the technology for the Deep Impact program, a university professor's project to crash a spacecraft into a comet in order to study the formation of the solar system.
The Baltimore Sun reported Acacia offered the university the option of purchasing a license at a minimum cost of $5,000 annually. This would allow them to
continue to stream media over the Internet without violating the patent. It also hinted at the possibility of a lawsuit if an agreement isn't signed.
The state's attorney general's office is currently in the "early stages" of investigating the claims, which includes looking into its legal validity. At press time, the office was "trying to coordinate a response to the notices of infringement," said spokesman Kevin Enright.
Similar letters have been sent by Acacia to colleges and universities across the country, but no
lawsuits have been filed by the company against any institutions. Enright said two higher education institutions in Maryland have received them.
According to Acacia's patent documents, the company claims the streaming technology is part of a larger patent it owns. The patent covers the concept behind the technology, rather than the software or hardware needed to use it.
OIT offers free server space to professors, researchers and some student organizations to store streaming media. Its web site
offers students and faculty streaming media services, some of which cost academic departments upwards of $75 an hour.
Before setting its sights on higher education, Acacia filed similar infringement lawsuits against many private companies.
Beginning with a string of disputes against the adult entertainment industry, Acacia began to target larger corporations. In 2004, the company settled disputes with companies such as Disney and Playboy.
Acacia officials did not return calls by press time.
Ailing Pope addresses own illness at French shrine
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOURDES, France — His voice weak, his legs unsteady as he knelt in prayer, Pope John Paul II joined thousands of other ailing pilgrims Saturday at a cliffside shrine known for its miraculous cures, telling them he shares in their physical suffering and assuring them the burden is part of God's "wondrous plan."
The rare reference to his own illnesses — Parkinson's disease and crippling knee and hip ailments — came at the start of a two-day visit to the shrine to the Virgin Mary, where Roman Catholics seek healing, hope and inner
peace.
"With you I share a time of life marked by physical suffering, yet not for that reason any less fruitful in God's wondrous plan," the 84-year-old pope said in remarks read for him by a French cardinal.
"Dear brothers and sisters who are sick, how I would like to embrace each and every one of you with affection, to tell you how close I am to you and how much I support you."
John Paul spoke haltingly in French, slurring his words, when addressing French President Jacques Chirac shortly after arriving from Rome.
Later, he made no attempt to read his brief speech when he prayed in the ivy-covered grotto where Mary is said to have appeared to St. Bernadette in 1858.
He was hoisted from a wheeled throne onto a kneeler to pray at the grotto, but after less than a minute he slipped, and aides immediately steadied him and lifted him back into his chair.
Then, following Lourdes' custom, he sipped a glass of water from the spring that flows underground, believed by many to have curative powers.
"Everything is normal, the pope was only tired," papal
"With you I share a time of
life marked by physical suffering, yet not for that reason any less fruitful in God's wondrous plan."
Pope John Paul II
spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls told reporters. "We have to get used to see him that way."
In the late afternoon John Paul returned to the grotto and delivered a brief speech, although with some difficulty, saying "I have reached the goal of my pilgrimage" with the stop.
Asher Mora, a 48-year-old pilgrim from Madrid, Spain, expressed mixed feelings about the pope's visit.
"Happy because I've seen him, and sad because this will be the last time I'll see him because of his health," she said.
Organizers predicted as many as 500,000 pilgrims would fill this town nestled in the Pyrenees mountains in southern France for the pope's visit, and the estimate appeared on the mark. Enthusiastic crowds jammed the narrow
streets on a splendid August morning, leaving barely enough room for the papal motorcade to reach the grotto.
Security was heavy but gentle as pilgrims waved at John Paul, a few yards away from his bulletproof white popemobile.
The shrine is said to have brought sight to the blind, cured multiple sclerosis and made tumors vanish. Thousands of people have claimed to have been healed, and the church has recognized 66 claims as official miracles.
The Vatican, however, said that the pope was not seeking a cure for his health problems.
USC shuttle buses to use satellite tracking system
THE GAMECOCK
University of South Carolina
VIA-U-WIRE
COLUMBIA, S.C. — University of South Carolina Parking Services will unveil a satellite tracking system for shuttle buses this fall, and its proponents are billing the system as the biggest improvement to campus convenience in years.
The technology, called NextBus, uses Global Position System satellites on campus shuttles to transmit accurate arrival information to computers, cell phones and Personal Digital Assistants. The tracking information, which will update itself every 90 seconds or 200 meters, will also be displayed on signs at bus stops.
Parking services officials have
said the tracking system will eliminate the uncertainty of students waiting for shuttles delayed by traffic or trains.
Supporters expect the NextBus technology to be successful.
"Since the Carolina Shuttle System routes are condensed and have headway time of 20 minutes or more, it was almost impossible to have a schedule of stops based
on the times that were posted due to factors such as traffic lights in the core area of campus, traffic congestion, trains that held up buses and heavily utilized pedestrian crossways," said Derrick Huggins, deputy director of Vehicle Management and Parking Services, in a news release. "With the NextBus system, the information of arrival times are displayed based on where the bus actually is
on route."
When the tracking technology is installed, USC's shuttle system will be one of a few across the country using NextBus. Other satellite-tracked transit systems include that of Loyola College in Maryland and the New York Water Taxi in New York City.
The idea for the tracking technology originated in Student Government last year after SG
officers discovered a large sum of surplus money held-over from past administrations. According to then-President Katie Dreiling, the tracking system was intended as a practical way to alleviate parking problems on campus. SG contributed $30,000 toward the new system, while parking services paid for the rest of project costing more than $100,000.

Ohio University makes alcohol program a must
Alcohol awareness programs are gaining popularity nationwide
BY MATT LAWELL
The Post, Ohio University
VIA U-WIRE
ATHENS, Ohio — The incoming freshman class of 2008 will be the first required to complete an online alcohol prevention program before taking classes in Ohio University in Athens.
Failure to do so, though, might result in various penalties.
Students who do not complete the program, AlcoholEdu for College, by the middle of university's fall quarter will not be eligible to register for or take winter classes.
"Frankly,that's what most of the
schools are doing.Most of the schools that sign on to do this make it pretty clear that this is expected or required. Some are more forceful about it."
Brandon Busted
Founder and CEO of Outside The Classroom
University officials, however, do not foresee having to enforce the new penalty.
"I don't anticipate that being a problem," Ohio Dean of Students Terry Hogan said. "The rate at which students are completing the course is already strong."
More than 600 of the 3,800 incoming freshmen already have completed the course, more than 15 percent of all freshmen, Hogan said.
Not all of those students have had the opportunity to take AlcoholEdu, though, which is introduced to them at precollege.
Precollege continues through Friday.
A much higher completion percentage is expected by the beginning of school's fall quarter.
AlcoholEdu was introduced at Ohio by the Office of Judiciaries, which required it of some students who had been cited for various alcohol-related offenses.
The program was first used during the fall quarter of 2002, said Ohio Director of Judiciaries Judith Piercy.
Ohio is one of almost 400 colleges and universities to use the program this year.
It is also one of more than 100 colleges to require it of all their incoming freshmen, said Brandon Busteed, founder and CEO of Outside The Classroom, which produces AlcoholEdu.
Busteed, 27, developed the original idea for AlcoholEdu while still an undergraduate at Duke University.
Since that time, more than 25 national experts have contributed to the curriculum, Busteed said.
The use of the program has
grown since the company's founding in 2000.
It has grown largely because of positive reactions received from schools during the 2003-04 school year.
"Last year what really changed our business was schools said. 'This works, and when all freshmen take it, it really works,'" Busteed said.
"Our business is up almost 300 percent this year. We've been in business for four years, and it's been growing pretty fast, especially this year.
Next year, my expectations are that this could be a freshman program at 500 to 1,000 universities."
Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, also is requiring AlcoholEdu to be taken by all incoming freshmen.
The school has not stated any penalties for failure to complete the program.
A number of schools have started to penalize students, though, Busteed said.
"Frankly, that's what most of the schools are doing," he said. "Most of the schools that sign on to do this make it pretty clear that this is expected or required. Some are more forceful about it.
"I'd say the common examples (of penalties) are (blocking) class registration and housing lotteries. That's a sign that colleges have placed this problem very high on the list."
Most schools reported completion rates of 75 percent to 95 percent for the 2003-04 academic year, Busteed said.
Kansas hospitals face bed shortage
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAWRENCE — Court officials in the eastern half of the state learned last week that two of the state's three hospitals for the mentally ill were full and not accepting new patients.
Osawatomie State Hospital has a capacity of 176 but is treating about 190 people, said Kyle Kessler, a spokesman for the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services. He said Rainbow Health Facility in Kansas City has a 50-bed capacity but is serving 53 people.
The agency told the Kansas Supreme Court and judicial districts in eastern Kansas that neither hospital would be accepting court-ordered referrals. Such referrals are typically made when a person's mental illness threatens his or her safety or the safety of others.
The notice was released to the public Friday.
"What we told the court was
that if we take on any more, we'd be putting the patients' safety in jeopardy. "Kessler said. "We don't want to do that. Patient safety is first and foremost."
When a referral is made, residents of the eastern half of Kansas are sent to Rainbow or Osawatomie, while residents of the western half of the state go to Larned State Hospital.
Learned may be able to accept a few referrals, Kessler said, but most will have to be handled by community mental health programs. Officials said, however, few of the programs have inpatient units.
David Johnson, executive director at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, said low rates of Medicaid reimbursement from the state has made it difficult for hospitals to keep their psychiatric units open.
Demand for beds has spiked as the units have closed, creating a shortage, he said.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Move over, V-8 Vegetable Juice. A new tomato drink might be hitting the shelves.
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center is currently testing a new tomato-soy drink to determine the effects of extra soy and lucopene in a typical diet.
Lycopene is a tomato pigment that researchers have linked to prostate health.
Medicinal tomato juice to be tested
Experts hope to prove the beverage helps prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer.
"The study will take place over nine weeks, then there will be a long period of analysis, and by the beginning of next year we'll have some results," said Torsten Bohn, the study coordinator. "We want to know how well it's absorbed and utilized in the body."

"We test the changes in the volunteer's antioxidants and cholesterol, as well as the plasma in their urine," said Michelle Blackwood, a researcher at the center. "On the first day of the study we have
them bring in their urine, take their blood and check their cholesterol.
"During the next week we have them on a diet low in fruits and vegetables. We want them to record everything they eat and drink.
"Then, by the eighth day, we have them drink the juice," she said.
Within the next eight weeks the volunteers can have no soy in their diet and must drink six ounces of the drink in the morning and six ounces at night.
Along with testing the health benefits of the drink, researchers are also testing its taste.
"It's not as developed as V-8 and it's not ready for the market, but we're working on its color to make it darker and we're working on the spices to make it taste better." Bohn said.
The drink is made with allnatural Ohio-grown tomatoes and some testers of the drink compare the look and taste to tomato soup.
juice and several spices," Blackwood said. "I've tasted it, and it's kind of like tomato soup, but not quite."
"We use soy, sugar, lemon
If the drink is beneficial to the participants' health, the drink would become one of many medicinal foods on the market.
It would also be another product good for carbohydrate-cutting dieters.
"Our tomato-soy drink is a low-calorie drink," Bohn said. "It only has 10 grams of carbs per six ounces — good for those who are carb-conscious."
Blackwood also said this is the first drink of any kind to mix tomato and soy.
If the product tests well, it could be on shelves, bearing an Ohio State University logo, within a couple years, Blackwood said.
"The factors of price, taste and how good it is for you would determine if I'd buy it," said Craig Lemle, Ohio State senior in marketing. "If it gets approved by the FDA, I'd take it."

Parents on hook with new laws
BY AMELIA TRAUL
The Collegio — Pittsburg State
University
PITTSBURG — In Kansas, new penalties for underage drinking went into effect July 1, according to the Kansas Drunk Driving Prevention Office.
One big change is that parents caught giving alcoholic or cereal malt beverages on their property to a person under 18 will be charged with a class B misdemeanor, which carries a fine of $200.
Sgt. David Roughton of the Pittsburg Police Department welcomes the new law.
"Before this, we didn't have anything that would allow us to go after parents," he said. "It's always been a question in the past: Can a mom take her 14-year-old son to the bowling alley and give him some of their beer? The answer was 'yeah.' If you were at home and your mom gave you a beer on the couch in your house, we couldn't do anything about it."
Those under 21 caught drinking the first time will receive a 50-day suspension of their license. The second time, their license will be suspended for 90 days; subsequent offenses will warrant the license to be suspended for one year.
"The punishments may have a more deterent effect to parents and minors," said Roughton. "A minor that's going to drink won't understand until they get caught. Then they'll be less likely to do it knowing that the punishment is worse next time."
Another change this summer was the creation for vertical drivers' licenses for those under 21. Although these new licenses are harder to duplicate, Roughton says they might not prevent underage drinking in bars.
Survey uncovers drinking habits of students
BY ESZTER GORDON
Daily Collegian — Pennsylvania
State University
VIA U-Wire
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. About 9 percent of American adults have an alcohol abuse disorder, according to a recent nationwide survey by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the National Institutes of Health questioned 43,000 adults about alcohol, drug and personality disorders to determine the cause of these behaviors. This is the largest such survey ever done on the topic.
Steve Shetler, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) addiction specialist at Pennsylvania State University, said the center helps students who are both dependent and abusers of alcohol.
The survey does not specify the ages of its participants, nor does it distinguish between those who are alcohol dependent and those who are abusers.
"An alcohol abuser is someone who practices behavior that has actual recurring negative consequences and does not alter their behavior but repeatedly returns to old behavior." Shetler said.
He added that a person with alcohol dependency or alcoholism is "someone who cannot control their drinking despite motivations otherwise."
Shetler said no statistics regarding the number of students seeking counseling for alcohol abuse currently exist at CAPS, but added that data might be available next year.
"We certainly try to accommodate anyone we can," he said. "My guess is that we're only see
Shetler said the students he counsels for alcohol abuse primarily begin drinking before coming to the University, but the problematic drinking habits are often developed at college. Students complain that the nighttime social scene at Penn State does not offer enough alternatives to drinking and students are not trying to become dependent on alcohol, he added.
ing the tip of the iceberg. Those who abuse [alcohol] are hard to locate ... they don't want to participate in any type of survey."
"People are looking at alcohol to enhance social life." Shelter said. "An [alcohol] abuser isn't looking for a problem."
Alcohol Intervention Program (AIP) director Diana Ramos said she believes alcohol abuse is taking place at the university because students are not fully aware of the consequences of drinking on
AIP is the program required for students cited for underage drinking at Penn State.
their bodies, behaviors and personalities.
"Students are experimenting with their identities and certain groups are more widely accepted and having fun," she said.
AIP employee Linda LaSalle said she believes the local social scene is inundated with alcohol abuse because it is associated with having fun during college life.
Ramos added there are many reasons why a person might abuse alcohol. For example, students may learn unhealthy attitudes regarding alcohol from within their family, she said.
Shetler said freshmen and sophomores are most at risk of developing an alcohol disorder while at college. Juniors and seniors might drink less because they already have established friendships, are trying to bring up their grades and are working or looking for a job, he said.
Ramos said men and women might use alcohol for different reasons. She said some women might drink alcohol to feel more assertive toward men, while in actuality they lose some of their assertiveness. Men who drink, however, might show more possessive behavior regarding women, which reinforces their "domineering" role in society, Ramos said.
Despite the survey's results showing that nearly one in 10 Americans abuse alcohol, a February 2004 Penn State Pulse survey found that about a third of students only drink between one and five drinks each week.
"Data shows that most of our students make smart, healthy decisions about their drinking," LaSalle said.

BOULDER, Colo. — In baseball, it's three strikes and you're out. But University of Colorado students are saying the university's new alcohol policy will not be as lenient as even the loosest major league umpire.
CU last April implemented a new "two-strikes" policy for student drinking violations. The modified enforcement plan looks much like the "three-strikes" policy that has been in effect for the previous four years, only with stricter punishments.
"I'm just glad I'm getting out of here because
Just as in the "three strikes" plan, one transgression results in a full semester's probation, along with any other punishments decided upon by a judicial affairs interview. The new policy, how-
who knows when I'll get my next strike."
University of Colorado senior
Katie Atkins
ever, differs in allowing possible suspension.
"If a student is already on probation and again found to be in simple violation of alcohol laws or policies, he or she will be subject to suspension from the university for at least one full semester," said Ron Stump, CU's vice chancellor for student affairs.
Students who violate alcohol laws or policies for the third time during the entire period of their enrollment, whether they are on
probation or not, can be suspended, according to Stump.
The university also warns the new plan does not limit it from doling out additional disciplinary actions as deemed appropriate for specific cases.
"We've never said, 'Don't drink, drinking's bad,' or any such thing, but if you can't abide by what are basically state laws, there are going to be repercussions," said Robert Maust, chair of CU's Standing Committee on Substance Abuse.
Maust predicts in reality it will not be that many.
Under the new rules, CU estimates that 300-400 students could be suspended each semester.
"When we implemented the three-strike policy, it was predicted that 100 students would be suspended a semester," he said. "We've never had to suspend more than 30."
Maust also asserts the change in policy is not due to the ongoing CU football scandal or the public image it created. Nor is it to CU's "number one party school" designation in last year's Princeton Review.
"This was an idea that truly came in its time," said Maust. "About 1,700 students a year have a single alcohol violation, which is interesting but very after the fact. We asked ourselves: 'What could we have done to educate more people earlier?'"
The education in question takes the form of the new, mandatory online alcohol education class required of all incoming freshmen.
One student, however, worries the change in drinking regulations will be detrimental to incoming students.
"People are going to be drinking more off campus," said sophomore Kelly Butler, "which is
really dangerous because freshmen will have to (find a way to) get back on campus."
Some students are less than optimistic over the potential results of the new policy.
"I'm just glad I'm getting out of here," said Katie Atkins, a senior psychology major, "because who knows when I'll get my next strike."
Vijay Venkatesh, a first-year graduate student, takes a more clinical view of the matter.
"I think it is fair," he said,
"Thew warn you up front."
"We're not talking about beer sniffing dogs," Maust said. "A lot of people drink in this community that we don't know are drinking, that we don't want to know about," he said. "The people who get punished are the people in some way calling attention to themselves."
Maust does provide one caveat to the new "two-strike" program.

Veterans seek employment protection under 1994 law
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON—Increasing numbers of National Guard and Reserve troops who have returned from war in Iraq and Afghanistan are encountering new battles with their civilian employers at home. Employers have eliminated jobs, cut benefits and reduced promotions.
Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the Labor Department reports receiving greater numbers of complaints under a decade-old law designed to give Guard and Reserve troops their old jobs back, or provide them with equivalent positions. Benefits and raises must be protected, as if the serviceman or servicewoman had never left.
But some soldiers are finding the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act can't protect them.
Larry Gill couldn't return as a police officer in Thomasville, Ala., because a grenade injured a foot, making it impossible for him to chase criminals or dodge bullets.
Jerry Chambers, of Oberlin, Kan., discovered budget cuts had eliminated his job as a substance abuse prevention consultant.
Ron Vander Wal, of Pollock. S.D., was originally told his job as a customer service representative was eliminated. He was hired
after filing a civil lawsuit seeking damages.
The Labor Department said complaint numbers would have been worse had the government not made an aggressive effort to explain the law to employers.
"Any increase in the number of complaints is a concern to us," said Fred Juarbe Jr, assistant secretary of labor for veterans employment and training. "At the same time, we're pleased by the fact that the increase in complaints is not at the level that would have been expected."
Labor Secretary Elaine Chao said the department is drafting rules to spell out the law's protections for service personnel. "We've got to do everything we can to protect their re-employment rights," she said.
The department was receiving about 900 formal complaints a year before Sept.11,2001.The statistical picture since then, based on fiscal years ending Sept.30:
一1,218 cases opened in 2002.
—1,200 cases from Oct. 1, 2003 through July 31. If projected over 12 months, the figure would be 1,440, the department said.
—1,327 cases in 2003.
inactive or closed, often because the government lost contact with the soldier or the soldier returned to active duty.
The department upheld or settled soldiers' complaints in one-third of last year's cases, while another third were found to have no merit. The remaining cases are
When Guard and Reserve troops returned from the first Gulf War, there was one complaint for every 54 soldiers leaving active duty. Currently, with the government's aggressive drive to inform employers of the law, the figure has improved to one in 69.
But not all returning troops are bitter about their job loss.
Chambers, the substance abuse consultant, agreed budget cuts left his former nonprofit employer no choice but to eliminate his job.
The Associated Press
"I don't fault them for that and I don't hold grudges," said Chambers. He was among the lucky ones, finding employment with his Reserve unit, the 1013th Quartermaster Co. based in North Platte and McCook, Neb. His unit has been mobilized anew, and he is again on active duty.
For others, finding their jobs gone was a hardship, emotionally and economically.
Gill, the former Alabama police officer with an injured leg, had to give up a career that began in 1992 and followed in the footsteps of his father and brother.
"My biggest concern is loss of income," he said.
While some troops fault former employers for firing them as they served their country, most complaints involved alleged denial of benefits, promotions and raises, said officials from the Labor Department and a Pentagon organization — Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve.
Army Col. Brarry Cox, who coordinates the ESGR's mediation efforts between employers and returning troops, said typical issues raised by soldiers include: "What about the 401 (k)? The end-of-year bonus? What about my evaluation?"
HISPANIC UNION
Cox said, "We try to talk employers through a logical approach: How were they (the employees) performing prior to active duty, where do you think they would have come out?"
The Labor Department, which has subpoena power, asks employers to justify firings or reduction of benefits and can refer complaints to the Justice Department for filing of civil lawsuits. Only a small percentage of cases get that far.
While the 1994 law strengthened previous protections, it doesn't help doctors, lawyers or small business owners who depend on maintaining a client base. It doesn't save jobs eliminated by plant closings or budget cuts. And it doesn't help injured

troops who can no longer perform the work they once did.
Reservists and guardsmen who returned to the Prince George's County government outside Washington, D.C., were among those who fell into a gray area. Some had to count some of their time in a war zone as vacation days.
"Our members were not able to decompress," said Percy Alston, president of the Fraternal Order of Police lodge representing the county's police officers. His members have challenged the policy through labor grievance procedures and expect an arbitrator will decide the matter.

Highly anticipated movie a 'Predator' in box office
nfo.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Movie-goers were easy prey for a double dose of space invaders.
The sci-fi smackdown "Alien vs. Predator," featuring the creatures of the "Alien" and "Predator" franchises, debuted as the No. 1 weekend movie with $38.25 million, studio estimates showed Sunday.
"Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement," with Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews reprising their royal roles, opened in second place with a three-day gross of $23 million, pushing its total since premiering Wednesday to $37.2 million.
That was about on par with the
$37.9 million "The Princess Diaries" took in over its entire first week in August 2001.
The new movies bumped the previous weekend's top film, Tom Cruise's "Collateral," to third place with $16 million.
The animated kid flick "Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie," adapted from the TV cartoon show from Japan, debuted at No. 4 with $9.4 million.
"Alien vs. Predator," featuring Sanaa Lathan and "Aliens" and "Alien 3" co-star Lance Henriksen, centers on a human expedition that stumbles on a spacemonster blood feud in an ancient pyramid buried below Antarctica.
The movie debuted slightly
ahead of the $36.4 million debut of last summer's horror hybrid "Freddy vs. Jason," which paired the slashers of the "Friday the 13th" and "A Nightmare on Elm Street" franchises.
"This continues the trend of combining franchises to very strong box-office results," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations. "If you're a fan of the 'Alien' movies, you want to see this movie. If you're a fan of 'Predator.'" you want to see this movie."
Audiences shelled out $16.8 million to see "Alien vs. Predator" on Friday, but the movie's gross fell to $12.5 million Saturday, a steep 26 percent decline. Most new movies do better business on
That's a sign that "Alien vs. Predator" could follow the pattern of "Freddy vs. Jason" and other horror tales, which tend to open well then plunge in subsequent weekends.
Saturday than Friday.
Still, "Freddy vs. Jason" "topped out at a healthy $82.2 million domestically. Budgeted at $60 million, "Alien vs. Predator" would turn a solid profit for 20th Century Fox if it matches the gross of "Freddy vs. Jason."
Preceded by "Alien vs. Predator" video games, the movie drew a largely male audience, most younger than 25. To broaden its appeal, 20th Century Fox brought the movie in at a PG-13 rating, though the previous four "Alien"
films and two "Predator" flicks had hard R ratings for "violence"
"I don't think it's a cop-out at all," said Bruce Snyder, the studio's head of distribution. "This is based on a video game that did have a bit of a younger audience. There's a lot of action and violence, but most of it is creature to creature rather than creature to people."
In limited release, the domestic drama "We Don't Live Here Anymore," starring Laura Dern, Naomi Watts, Mark Ruffalo and Peter Krause, opened strongly with $106,000 in just seven theaters. The film expands to more theaters this Friday.

Funk singer Rick James dead at 56

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Grammy Award-winning funk singer Rick James was laid to rest Saturday in his hometown, where 6,000 people waited for hours to pay their final respects.
The line of mourners stretched more than two city blocks for the funeral service. Seventy gospel singers and a band performed a lively tribute.
"This Buffalo project boy was like a phoenix rising from ashes to the pinnacle of America's musical world," said his cousin, former Ohio congressman Louis Stokes. He attended the funeral, along with the singer's three children, aunt, uncle, other cousins and friends.
The singer died in his sleep last week at his home near Universal City, Calif. James, whose real name was James Johnson Jr., was 56. He was to be cremated after the service, funeral director Vincent Amigone said.
An autopsy has failed to determine what caused the singer's
JACKIE BROWN
death. Results of a toxicology test were pending. James, who suffered a stroke in 1998, was a diabetic and had a pacemaker.
James never failed to publicly praise his late mother, Mabel Sims Gladen, said Stokes, who described a mutual devotion between the hardworking mother and son.
"He took us all with him on a roller coaster ride," said Stokes, whose brother, Carl Stokes, was elected the first black mayor of a major city, Cleveland, in 1967. "Rick James became our family's first superstar."
James' 1981 hit "Super Freak" earned him a Grammy for best R&B song nearly a decade later, after rapper MC Hammer, who shared the Grammy, used it in his "U Can't Touch This."
"He was without a doubt a musical genius," said longtime friend Aaron Dublin, who worked with James until 1983. "He changed the game of music. There was never anybody like him before and there's never been anybody like him since."

VAILWHERE
KENT, Ohio — Normally the thoroughfares of Cleveland Browns Stadium in downtown Cleveland are deserted during hot August nights. But on Aug. 2, the streets told a different story.
Tents, sleeping bags, lawn chairs and thousands of people decorated the grassy knolls for one purpose — to be the next American Idol.
At 6 a.m. on Aug. 3, Idol hopefuls gathered at the stadium to wait in line to receive blue wrist-bands, which entitled them a chance to prove themselves in front of the judges.
Dale Mossburg, from Pittsburgh, said singing was a natural for him. "I love making other people happy and making them enjoy themselves," he said. "And I think I can do this through music."
American Idol, a singing competition where the winner is awarded a recording contract, has developed into a cultural marvel.
"I've been dreaming about [the opportunity to sing] since I was 4 years old and dancing in my living room to Madonna," said 25-year-old Rosa Hale from Lansing, Mich. "When an opportunity like this comes up, you just have to grab it."
Cleveland, the first stop in the talent search for the upcoming season, had the largest turnout for any Idol tryout. The crowd was estimated at 15,000 to 20,000 — only 13,000 tried out at the New York audition last year. As the morning progressed, lines were wrapping around the stadium.
By noon, the lines were at a stand still, and people were sweating in the 86-degree summer heat. People gripped about the soaring temperatures, water that cost $3.50 per bottle and the lack of communication about what was going on.

Black artists left out of Rock 'n' Roll tribute
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
What's missing, some say, is a black artist.
MILWAUKEE — Miller Brewing is celebrating the "50th Anniversary of Rock 'n' Roll" with eight commemorative beer cans that feature Rolling Stone cover shots of Elvis Presley, Blondie and others.
Robert Thompson, a professor of pop culture at Syracuse University, called the absence "beyond conspicuous," because black artists often are credited with inventing rock 'n' roll.
"It would be like doing a set of cans of six great Impressionist painters and not including any French people on it," he said. "It leaves out an enormous amount."
The promotion, which ties rock's anniversary to Presley's debut at Sun Studios, also depicts Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard and Willie Nelson, as well as the guitars of Eric Clapton and Joe Walsh, on cans being issued this summer by the brewer and the magazine.
Gary Armstrong, chief marketing officer for Rolling Stone publisher Wenner Media, said race wasn't a consideration when choosing the artists.
we didn't even consciously think pro or con, the same way that the only woman on there is Blondie. We just went with the people that we thought were appropriate," he said. "We went through (the covers) and said these people we don't think are appropriate, or wouldn't appeal to Miller drinkers."

Group seeks to aid abuse victims
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — Saying that sexual abuse by clergy crosses denominational lines, the Catholic Diocese of Wichita is setting up an ecumenical group for victims of such abuse.
But in working to establish the new group, the diocese continues to withhold its endorsement of an existing support group for Catholic victims of abuse.
"We're taking the approach, 'Build it and they will come,'" said the Rev. Paul Coakley, vice chancellor of the diocese. "We know that there's a problem, we know that people have been hurt, and we want to help with the healing."
For the past 18 months, a support group sponsored by the Survivors Network for those Abused by Priests — or SNAP — has met in the Wichita area.
But the diocesan newspaper has not carried information about the group's meetings, and the diocese has no immediate plans to endorse SNAP's efforts.
"Our basic position is, until that group has a track record of positive healing, we're not willing to give it an endorsement," said Monsignor Robert Hemberger, interim administrator for the diocese. "Td just love to hear from some of their people who have been through the process who say, 'That was just the greatest thing that happened to me.'"
The diocese's stance disappointed Janet Patterson, coordinator of SNAP's Kansas chapter.
However, a victim of sexual abuse by a former Catholic priest said he understood the diocese's position.
"I don't understand what their definition of 'healing' is," Patterson said. "I think we can easily complement what they're doing."
"SNAP is about anger and hate and rage and vengeance and vindictiveness," said Paul Schwartz, who was molested by former priest Robert Lawson while serving as an altar boy at a church in Newton. "You can't go through life like that."
Schwartz said he attended SNAP support group meetings in the Wichita area and in Kansas City.
"I do not endorse SNAP in any way, shape or form," he said. "They're not interested in healing. Their goal is to 'get' the Catholic Church."
Patterson said justice is as important to SNAP as healing.
"I'm not out to persecute anyone who is innocent," she said. "But I sure am out to get anyone who is guilty."
The new group should not be viewed as competition for SNAP, said Sue Archibald, national director of The Link-Up.
No timetable has been established for setting up the ecumenical group, but the diocesan review board has had discussions with The Link-Up, a national advocacy organization for victims of clergy sexual abuse.
"I think our organizations complement each other rather than compete." Archibald said.
Nicky Hilton weds NY money manager
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Hotel heiress Nicky Hilton married a New York money manager before dawn yesterday in an impromptu ceremony, according to court filings obtained by The Associated Press.
Hilton, 20, married Todd Andrew Meister, 33, at the Las Vegas Wedding Chapel, according a Clark County marriage license. A woman who answered the phone at the chapel declined comment.
Access Hollywood, which first reported the wedding, said older sister Paris Hilton and actress
Bijou Phillips were present during the 2:30 a.m. ceremony.
The Hilton sisters were in town for a Stuff magazine party at the Palms Casino Resort, where they were joined by Meister and Nicole Ritchie for dinner late Saturday, resort owner George Maloof Jr. said.
Maloof, who confirmed the ceremony had taken place, said the couple gave no indication of their plans.
Nicky Hilton,younger sister of The Simple Life 2 star Paris Hilton,has dabbled in acting, appearing in Wishman in 1991 and presenting at MTV award shows.
Parents-to-be get away with 'Babymoons'
By KIRSTEN JENNINGS
The Daily Universe,
Brigham Young University
VIAU-WIRE
PROVO, Utah — "Babymoon" is the new buzzword for parents-to-be.
Derived of course from the term "honeymoon," it is a mini-vacation for expecting parents.
The trend is becoming most common among first-time parents, who see the getaway as one "last hurrah."
Even BYU students are catching onto the craze.
Christina and Doug Call recently returned from a "babymoon," even though they weren't sure their trip had that title.
Christina and Doug decided to go on a weekend trip to Park City to relax a little bit and enjoy spending time with each other. Christina is seven months pregnant with their first child.
"We basically went on a trip because everyone was telling us to." Doug said.
"We are not really sure the time restraints a baby will be, but a lot of our family and friends told us to take a trip before the baby comes. We decided to follow all the advice we were getting, and we had a great time," Doug said.
All though some soon-to-be mothers might not want to take a trip during their pregnancy, Christina said she didn't have any problems with their trip.
"I think the second trimester is a good time to travel because during the first weeks, you're usually sick, and then the last weeks you're so big, it's awkward," Christina said.
The trip gave the couple time to wind-down before the two become three.
"We had a wonderful time and I know it is something we are not going to regret when the real responsibility of the baby comes," Christina said.
Sun powers Acme Electric founder
BY JOCELVN V00
DAILY CALIFORNIAN,
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA-BERKELEY
VAU-WIRE
BERKELEY, Calif. — Bruce Gardiner, a self-described "one man show" looks to the sun for his power.
The vivacious 53-year-old Berkeley, Calif., resident and founder of Acme Electric, a company that converts homes to run on solar energy, powers every appliance, from his compact light bulbs to his George Foreman grill, directly from the sun's rays.
But this is not to say that Gardiner has banned modern home gadgets or refuses to own a car.
["My girlfriend and I] are not Luddites, dressed in sack clothing and freezing in the cold," he says, the healthy smile lines in the corner of his eyes crinkling with amusement. "We just do things a little differently."
These differences are not just familiar practices like using compact light bulbs and installing an energy-conserving washing
machine, but also saving shower water in large buckets to flush the toilet, and driving a van powered by waste vegetable oil collected free-of-charge from local eateries.
Ironically, Gardiner earned his first paychecks as a laborer for an oil rig in Scotland, yet he insists the job was purely for monetary reasons rather than interest.
"I was always interested in more air-friendly technologies," Gardiner quips in his Scottish accent.
Having grown up in a small village of just 17 people in Scotland, Gardiner was fond of the tranquility found in sparsely populated areas. The remoteness of Trinity County, a mountainous region tucked away in northern California, appealed to him. In true Thoreauvian fashion, he purchased two acres of land in 1981, where he built a small shed and attached a trailer.
"The oil comes straight out of the fryer at an Italian restaurant," Gardiner laughs, "so [the fumes] smell fishy like calamari."
that Gardiner realized the ubiquitous PG&E power lines crisscrossing urban areas were inaccessible from his small cabin. With the help of articles featured in Home Power Magazine, Gardiner fashioned his own electrical supply, creating a solar electric system with a single panel, an electrical inverter and a battery.
From there, Gardiner realized the potential usefulness of such an electrical system.
It was there, amidst the forest.
There are virtually no limits when it comes to solar energy, Gardiner reasons, because the amount collected depends primarily on the number of panels installed.
After living in a shed in the woods, Gardiner has made great strides to encourage energy conservation. Since relocating to Berkeley, he founded Acme Electric.
If the solar panels used in his business produce enough electricity to match what the client consumes, the result is not only a clean power source without harmful by-products, but also a nonexistent electricity bill.
The catch is that Gardiner estimates it costs approximately $13,000 per house to install the solar panel's.
But Gardiner says independence from companies such as PG&E is worth the financial burden.
"His motivation is to save the world's natural resources," says Nikki Ellman, Gardiner's girlfriend of four years. "Everything about him is about conservation. That is his passion in life—working with renewable energy of different kinds and having as little impact as possible on the environment."
Gardiner's friends praise him for not simply toting the virtues of a life of energy conservation, but also practicing what he teaches.
"He's walking the walk," says Craig Reese, Gardiner's friend and client. "He's a pioneer in that respect."
And although Gardiner is not entirely optimistic that the public will embrace energy conservation to the extent he does, he is content to live the way he sees fit.

Today's Birthday (Aug. 16).
There's plenty of money to be made this year. That will be the easy part. The challenge is figuring out how to make it last past your next birthday.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6.
The more you get into doing things right, the more obsessive you'll become. You can take perfectionism to great new heights if you let yourself.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
Luckily, Patience is your middle name, and some is required now. Be consistent, firm and loving, and everything will turn out fine.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7.
Home and family demand more of your attention for the next few days. Talk things out so you know how to set your priorities for a while.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an 8.
Your task this week, if you choose to accept it, is to develop
HOROSCOPES
wonderful skills. Memorize data, and dig out the facts. You're well-suited for the job.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8.
You'll be good at comparison shopping for the next couple of days. If you collect all the data and read the fine print, you'll make the wisest choice.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
All day you'll notice that you're getting stronger, and this is only the beginning. You're smart, quick and generous, too. Start looking for ways to contribute.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 6.
You have a couple of days to clear out your "in" box. No more excuses. Get organized, and a lot of your headaches will go away.

Meetings and group activities should go well. You'll find the others have some great ideas and need you to make decisions.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 7.
Be respectful, and listen for the next few days. You'll discover a wealth of information you can use to further your goals. Closely watch somebody who is already where you want to be.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is a 7.
Venturing forth is favored now, both mentally and physically. A transformation is required but should be relatively painless.
There's a mountain of paperwork to sort through to figure out whether you have plenty, not enough or too much. Stop putting it off, and then you'll know, which will be a welcome relief.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Today is a 6.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
You'll have more opportunities over the next few weeks to learn to accept criticism from others. This is not a bad thing. The more your ego gets out of the way, the more creative you'll become.

1. ENGEL ROAD
In a three-way project on Daisy Hill, workers rebuilt the curbs and sidewalks on Engel Road. Private donations and gifts funded the $500,000 project. Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said parking consultants would also examine the residence hall parking lots this school year to determine the possibility of adding more spaces.
All of Lilac Lane south of Jayhawk Boulevard will be under construction this semester. James Modig, director of design and construction management, said workers would repave Lilac Lane and replace curbs, gutters and sidewalks. Parking on Lilac Lane will not be allowed during the construction. Modig did not specify a completion date.

3. STEAM TUNNEL
Near Dyche Hall and Spooner Hall, workers are replacing a steam tunnel. James Long, vice provost for facilities planning and management, said the old steam tunnel had deteriorated to the point that it was unsafe and was a liability to other utilities around it. The scheduled completion date is January 2005, and Jayhawk Boulevard is open in the meantime.
4. WESCOE TERRACE
The remodeling and expansion of Wescoe Terrace began in the summer. The expansion will include a coffee shop and convenience store. It will also have a new food court featuring a Pizza Hut and a Chick-Fil-A. The revamped terrace is scheduled to open in September.

To allow workers to get a head start, the department closed the top two floors of Hashinger Hall this school year. Stoner said starting early would save a month to six weeks when the hall closes for the summer.

Work on the new home for the Hall Center for the Humanities continues. The old building is at 1540 Sunflower Rd., down the road from Watson Library. The new facility is an old powerhouse across the street from the current Hall Center. The completion date is set for spring 2005, said Victor Bailey, director of the Hall Center.
7. MULTICULTURAL RESOURCE CENTER
Construction of the new Multicultural Resource Center, to be located by the northeast corner of the Kansas Union between the between the Union and the parking lot, will begin soon. Pat Beard, director of building services for KU Memorial Unions, said the University had selected an architect and the process of drawing up a design should begin soon. The project will cost $3 million, collected through private funding.
8. OLIVER RESIDENCE HALL
Work on the new living room and lounge in Oliver Hall started in the summer. The new lounge will have seating areas, televisions and late-night food services, including a pizza and sub shop. The new lounge is scheduled to open in November. The cost of the lounge is about $583.000.
Stoner said funding for residence hall maintenance did not come from private donations or gifts. The Department of Student Housing receives no state funding. Money for maintenance and projects within the residence halls comes from a portion of the students' room and board costs. He said projects like the Oliver lounge did not cost hall residents more money than they usually pay.

Jayhawk uniformed
Now eligible defensive end Keith bulks up
BY JONATHAM KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
It sure feels good to put on the jersey. At least, that's what junior junior-college transfer defensive end Charlton Keith thinks.
Just an hour before Kansas football coach Mark Mangino stepped up to the podium at last Wednesday's annual media day, the team received word that
"He is here today and will participate in tomorrow's practices," Mangino said. "That is good news for Charlton more than anybody because the guy really worked his tail off in recent months."
Keith had passed his summer school classes with sufficient grades to allow him to play this fall. Keith was enrolled in 16 hours at Minnesota-West Community College.
Keith, who concluded summer school on Aug. 6, has been with the team as an observer since last Monday.
Though, because of NCAA eligibility requirements, he was unable to practice with the team or use team facilities. He was even forbidden from trying on a uniform.
"He will have to catch up," Mangino said. "He is such an intense guy that I think that it would not be unusual for him, now that he is in an environment where he gets three square meals a day, has a weight room to go to that he will put on weight very quickly."
The football staff was not concerned that he would not be allowed to play. They had his jersey waiting for him when the team received word.
www.kansan.com
"It felt great to be able to put it on," Keith said.
Keith is expected to compete with junior defensive end Jermial Ashley and senior defensive ends David McMillan and Greg Tyree for playing time.
"He can come off the edge and that
is what we need," Mangino said. "We need to be better at pass rushing off the edge, and he can do that very well."
Keith came out Buchtel High School in Akron, Ohio, where he received honors for his play on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.
In addition to his all-around gridiron skills, Keith also played basketball.
Recruited out of high school to the University of Minnesota, Keith played for the Golden Gophers until a death in the family caused him to lose focus. He said he could not bear being on campus anymore.

Junior forward Caroline Smith is coming off an unprecedented 2003 season with the Kansas women's soccer team. She helped the team reach the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA tournament and broke the school record for goals scored in a single season along the way.
Her play was so impressive that she was recently nominated to the preseason watch list for the Hermann Trophy, which is awarded by the Missouri Athletic Club to the country's best women's soccer player.
In 2003, Smith's 19 goals were not only the most of any Kansas player, she was also one of the top scorers in the nation.
"It's an awesome preseason nomination," Smith said. "I think it's a reflection of how good our team is that I'm up for those kinds of awards."
Smith will begin the 2004 season as the University's all-time leader in points (68), goals (31), game-winning goals (11) and shots (143). For Smith, neither records nor the opportunity to win college women's soccer version of the Heisman Trophy is important to her.
"The only thing I'm thinking about this year is winning games," Smith said. "I think this a better starting 11 than we've ever had, and the potential to go very far is definitely there. Improving on last year's success is definitely what's most important."
With last season's success and this year's preseason honors, Smith is expected to draw double teams constantly. Coach Mark Francis thinks she will handle the added attention with ease.
"Getting nominated for the Hermann Trophy is a great honor," Francis said. "But I don't think she will

feel any extra pressure. She handles that stuff real well and will continue to find ways to sco.e."
"The level of play is definitely higher than last year," Francis said. "Everybody on the team will compete for playing time."
Sophomore midfielder Nicole Cauzillo is also happy to see Smith getting the attention she deserves and thinks having opponents keying on Smith will be good for the team.
"The double teams will help the rest of us," Cauzillo said. "We won't change our game plan or anything major like that. Caroline is tough, and we will find ways to win."
Smith is on the preseason Hermann Trophy list along with 24 of the nation's ton collegiate women's soccer players.
A committee of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America made the list, which is trimmed to 15 semifinalists in November and three finalists in December. The 2004 Hermann Trophy winner will be announced Jan. 8 at the Missouri Athletics Club in St. Louis, Mo. Smith was a semifinalist for the award last year.
Caroline Smith and the Jayhawks play an exhibition game against Creighton on Aug. 21 and begin the regular season on Aug. 28 when they travel west to play Nevada-Las Vegas.

Basketball schedule finalized
BY JESSE NEWELL
jnewell@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITHER
University of Kansas athletics officials released the schedule Friday, three weeks before the team's exhibition trip to Vancouver, Canada.
Allen Fieldhouse truly will be the 2004-05 men's basketball team's home this season, with the squad having no road games before the new year.
"We always intend to release the schedule whenever it's ready but still as soon as possible," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletic director. "Putting together a 12-team basketball conference schedule with television games is a monumental task."
The Jayhawks' only regular-season trip before Jan. 1 is a game against Wisconsin-Milwaukee Dec. 22 at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo.
The Jayhawks were originally slated to play in the Coaches vs. Cancer
Classic preseason tournament in November, but complications arose because of the NCAA's 2-and-4 rule, which prevents teams from playing in exempt tournaments in consecutive seasons. Because the Jayhawks will compete in next year's Maui Invitational, they were ineligible to participate in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic this year.
"We expected the decision months ago, but it still hasn't come down," Marchiony said. "This left a lot of schools up in the air, and in August we decided to move forward."
Kansas will open the season Nov. 19 at home against Vermont, with a game against St. Joseph's four days later.
A judge's ruling could have overturned the rule, but the matter remains tied up in the court system.
Highlights include a Jan. 1 home game Georgia Tech, which defeated

Quick, dirty predictions for football
The ninth time's a charm. Well, at least that's the number of semesters it will take me to graduate, meaning I'm back for one final Kansan fling, just a couple years shy of achieving Van Wilder status.
It's mid-August, and it's a time for new beginnings. There's me and my fellow fifth-years starting our victory laps. There's thousands of freshmen scrambling for fake IDs. And tucked behind Allen Fieldhouse, behind 12-foot fences and blue tarps is the Kansas football squad, looking for a new beginning of its own.
Last year's team overcame a revolving door of obstacles to finish with a 6-6 regular season record and make its first bowl appearance since 1995. OK, we'll just omit the part about the 56-26 pistol-whipping the Jayhawks received from quarterback Philip Rivers and the North Carolina State Wolfpack in the Tangerine Bowl.
IN THE KANSAN
Look for

Madness
every
Monday.
Many would consider a bowl appearance after seven years of mediocrity a new beginning, but it was merely an appetizer. Those six victories last season came against
Division I-AA Jacksonville State, conference doormat Iowa State, an overrated Missouri team, a scrappy-at-best UNLV squad, then Wyoming and Baylor, whose reputations say it all. No doubt, it was a monumental step forward, but now is when the real test begins. Of the Jayhawks' 11 opponents this season, eight were in bowl games last season. Those eight do not include Colorado, who suffered a rare down year, and a Toledo team that went 8-4 but did not play in a bowl game because of a mid-maior conference.
One of my favorite things every year is my famous "quick and dirty schedule prediction." So here goes it.
Sept. 11—Toledo—Loss
■ Sept. 18—at Northwestern—Better he a win
- Sept. 25—Texas Tech—Win…and really fun to watch
- Oct. 2—at Nebraska—If it was in Lawrence, I might change my mind. Loss.
- Oct. 9—Kansas State—My roommate thinks this is a guaranteed Kansas victory. Then again, this is the same guy who thinks Julia Stiles is loss. Hot. Loss.
Oct. 23—at Oklahoma—You couldn't me enough to bet on the Jayhawks in this one. Wait, does that make sense? Whatever. Loss.
Oct. 50—at Iowa State—Win. If Kansas loses this one, well, let's not even consider that an option at this point.
Nov. 6—Colorado—Win. And Johnny Beck kicks the game-winner as redemption from last year.
Nov. 13—Texas—Win. Barely. I'm of the school of thought that it's players, not coaches who win ball games. This will be an exception. This will be Mark Mangino's landmark victory.
Nov. 20—at Missouri—The day Missouri deserves a No. 14 preseason ranking is the day my roommate is right about Julia Stiles. Win.
OK, so that gives them a 6-5 record, the first back-to-back bowl appearances in school history and some respect in the conference. Shoot, if it can be proven that Julia Stiles is attractive, it could even be seven victories. But even better than my schedule interpretation is the Man-genius himself.
"What's so tough about the schedule?" third-year coach Mark Mangino asked. "They're not gonna have any guns or anything."
Let's hope not.

Royals obtain relief pitcher from Brewars through waiver
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals claimed pitcher Matt Kinney off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday.
Kinney joined the Royals on Saturday in Oakland as a reliever. To make room on the 40-man roster for the 27 year-old right-hander, Kansas City designated catcher Mike Tonis for assignment.
Kinney was 3-4 with a 5.78 ERA in 32 games for the Brewers this season. As a reliever, he was 3-1 with a 3.13 ERA.
Last year, Kinney was 10-13 with Milwaukee in his first full major league season.
He is 17-26 lifetime with a 5.18 ERA for Minnesota and the Brewers.

missouri basketball faces NCAA hearing for violatons
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Missouri basketball program is preparing for a hearing Friday before the NCAA infractions committee on alleged rules violations.
The university is sending a dozen officials to the closed hearing at a Seattle hotel, including coach Quin Snyder, athletic director Mike Alden and the university system president, Elson Floyd. It usually takes five to seven weeks for the committee to announce its decisions.
Snyder and two former assistant coaches are accused of various violations of NCAA bylaws, and the head coach is accused of failing "to maintain at all times an atmosphere of rules compliance." Snyder is mentioned by name in more than a dozen of the allegations, some including multiple rules violations.
Missouri self-reported some of the violations and doesn't plan to contest them. But the school is challenging several allegations, including that Tony Harvey, who resigned as Snyder's top assistant, paid ex-Toyer point guard Ricky Clemons $250.
The university and the attorney for Harvey—who plans to attend the hearing—said any accusations by Clemons weren't credible because he hasn't always been truthful. Clemons' attorney has said he stands by his allegations.
The alleged violations include multiple impermissible calls and contacts with prospects and that Harvey provided impermissible meals to Amateur Athletic Union coaches.
The 10-member committee is comprised of seven officials from NCAA schools, including athletic directors and law professors, plus three private attorneys. Two of the attorneyse are nonvoting members.
Hearing procedures allow for opening statements from any institutions or individuals accused of breaking NCAA rules. It sets no time limits on discussion of allegations and allows all parties to present information. The hearings are tape-recorded and a court reporter is present to make a transcript.

After losing slugger Ken Griffey Jr. for the season, the Cincinnati Reds could probably use Randy Wolf in the middle of their lineup.
The Philadelphia pitcher homered twice, giving him three this season, and threw seven solid innings to lead the Philies to a 15-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night.
"It's nice to absorb it and enjoy it, because who knows if it will ever happen again." Wolf said.
Wolf went 3-for-3 and scored three runs in, becoming the first major-league pitcher to homer twice in a game since the Phillies' Robert Person on June 2, 2002, against Montreal.
"When you have a spot in the lineup, you have a chance to help yourself win," he said. "You never know when you might get lucky."
Griffey has certainly had his share of bad luck with injuries during the past few years.
The All-Star center fielder, who hit his 500th career homer earlier this season, needs surgery to reattach his torn right hamstring. An MRI showed that Griffey was more seriously injured than originally suspected when he hyperextended his right leg last week in San Francisco on a play in the outfield — his first action in nearly four weeks since tearing his hamstring in Milwaukee.

Kansas golfer Kevin Ward has completed a hat trick, and the 2004-2005 collegiate golf season hasn't even started.
The Leawood senior won three tournaments this summer, capturing the Kansas Golf Association Fourball Championship, the 96th Missouri Amateur Championship and the Kansas Amateur Match Plav Championship.
"It feels good to go out there and play well," Ward said. "I've played every single week of the summer and made every single cut."
Ward and Krsnich had the option to play either 18 or 36 holes after a rain delay at the Kansas Amateur in Olathe.
The Jayhawks were represented well in the Kansas Amateur. Ward and his teammate, junior Pete Krsnich, both advanced to the finals where Ward won 9 and 7, which means he was up nine holes with seven holes to go after 36 holes of golf.
Kansan File Photo
"I opted for 56 because that's how they've done it in the past," Ward said. "But also, 36 holes really determine the champion."
Ward not only won tournaments this summer, he dominated them. Aside from winning 9 and 7 in the Kansas Amateur, he won the Missouri Amateur 6 and 5 in match-plan format.
Last spring, Ward's season was highlighted by an individual victory at the Louisiana Classics
Invitational, where he fired a 66 in the final round to help the Jayhawks place second in the tournament. He also posted a remarkable back-nine score of 29 at the Roadrunner Intercollegiate in San Antonio last year, helping the Jayhawks win the tournament. Ward looks to carry on his experience and success into the fall.
"I'm just looking forward to getting out there, playing well and working as hard as ever." Ward said. "If we can work hard, the talent is there; we just have to get the right guys playing well at the same time."
Ward said that he practiced for five hours during days in which he was not participating in a tournament. He said that he focused on areas of his game where he had recently strugged.
"They're working out all the time, and I'll work with them on their swing and talk to them about shooting low scores," said golf coach Ross Randall. "I'm trying to portray it as a learning process, where we use what happened as a memory bank and go from there."
THE PUTTER
This season, Ward and fellow senior Andrew Price will be looked upon to lead the layhawks.
Randall traveled with Ward to his tournaments this summer and said that he has played great golf. This season, the Jayhawks look to regain the recognition they attained last year, when they were ranked as high as 23rd in the nation.
"We think we're going to be competitive, and we want to do better than how we've done the past couple of years," Randall
Senior Kevin Ward won the Kansas Amateur Match Play Championship last Sunday at Shadow Glen Golf Club in Olathe. The win was Ward's second tournament victory this summer.
said. "I'd like to get in the top 20 early in the fall and get back to the NCAA finals. I think we have the
players to do that."

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
After two seasons with the Kansas women's golf team, Megan Menzel has resigned from her position as women's golf coach.
Menzel said she based her decision on her desire to spend more time with her family.
S h e announced her retirement on July 20.
MENZEL
"That was the main reason
for my decision," Menzel said. "I have a 1-year-old and a 2-year-old at home. It's been hard to wear two different hats."
Menzel led the Jayhawks to three top-10 tournament finishes in 2002-2003, her first season with the team.
Last season was highlighted by a fourth-place finish at the Mary Fossum Invitational in East Lansing, Mich.
The Jayhawks also placed fifth in Irvine, Calif., at the Anteater Invitational Tournament and eighth in the Big 12 Championships, the team's final tournament of the year, which was played in College Station, Texas.
"I thought that it was a positive year," Menzel said. "I thought we accomplished a little more than we thought, because we were a little bit younger and had a lot of youth on our team."
Even though Menzel stressed the importance of the women's commitment to the KU golf program, academics were always a priority.
Last year, senior Jennifer Bawanan and sophomore Chelsey Pryor were named to the Division I National Golf Coaches
Association All-American ScholarTeam.
"I was really impressed with both of them," Menzel said. "Overall, our whole team academically has everything in perspective. They also realize that when they do well in that area, everything else seems easier."
As a whole, the Kansas women's golf team generated a 3.20 grade point average under Menzel last year.
In terms of the future of KU women's golf, the Jayhawks lost one senior last year in Jennifer Bawanan.
Menzel said that succeeding in the classroom helped reduce stress, generate a proper mindset and enhance performance on the golf course.
With no seniors on the 2004- 2005 team, junior Chelsey Pryor and sophomore Amanda Costner will look to build upon their success from last season.
Pryor's season was highlighted by a top-10 finish at the Susie Maxwell Berning Classic in Norman, Okla.
Costner had two top-10 finishes, placing second at the Texas A&M "Mo" Morial in Houston, and seventh in the Big 12 Championships in College Station, Texas.
"I think that the program will continue to improve," Menzel said. "I know that the Athletics Department will make a great decision and do everything to bring in the right person. The team has gotten a little taste of success, and I think they will continue to improve on that."
Menzel said that she would continue to support the Jayhawks and would still reside in the Lawrence community with her family.
Kyle Cornish, sports information director for the golf team, said no replacement candidates have been named.

Former Jayhawks to begin careers in minor leagues
10
BY SHAME KUEREA
skucera@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWATER
Days after the end of the spring 2004 season, three Jayhawk baseball players left the friendly confines of Lawrence and the University of Kansas to begin professional baseball careers.
Spread across the country on different farm league teams, former Jayhawks Ryan Knippschild, Ryan Baty and Travis Metcalf are attempting to climb the minor league ladder.
The three are working toward the big leagues, and so far they are succeeding.
Knippschild was draft pick number 1,037 overall, chosen in the 35th round by the Cleveland Indians. In his last season at Kansas, the left-hander led the team with seven wins, 111.1 innings pitched and 79 strikeouts. Knippschild's success at the Division I level has carried over to his minor league career with the Mahoning Valley Scrappers in Niles, Ohio, where he currently owns an impressive 2-1 record
with a 3.47 earned run average.
KU
Ryan Baty has also spared no time making an impression in the minor leagues with the Class A Hudson Valley Renews in New
York. Throughout 23 games with the Renegades, Baty is hitting .276 with two home runs and 15 RBI.
Baty opted to sign a free-agent contract with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays following the college baseball season. He left several records behind him at Kansas. In his senior season, Baty set the all-time record for career doubles (68) and ended the season on the longest hitting streak ever by a lajawk, at 21 games.
Baty is going to go as far as his bat will take him, said Ritch Price, Kansas baseball coach. There's already discussion of sending Baty to Double-A before the season ends.
Travis Metcalf is the Jayhawks'

third player who moved on to minor league baseball this spring. After turning down a 38th round pick by the Minnesota Twins in the 2003 draft.
Metcalf was able to return to Kansas for his junior year and shatter hitting records. Metcalf broke the 23-year-old single season Kansas home run record and the 24-year career home run mark by blasting 18 balls out of the park in 2004 and 29 in his college career. Choosing to return for another season proved to be a smart decision for Metcalf. He was drafted 27 rounds earlier in 2004 than in 2003, making him the 321st pick overall.

Metcalf has done nothing but dominate so far with the Spokane Indians, a Class A affiliate of the Texas Rangers. In 48 games, Metcalf has proved that the adjustment to a wooden bat from the college level is no reason for a slump:

"I'm not really surprised at how well these guys are doing," said
He has already hit 15 doubles, 10 homers and driven in 45 runs.

Shifty summer weather benefits Clinton Lake anglers

crappie catches.
Unpredictable summer temperatures and unexpected precipitation have left Lawrence residents feeling unusually comfortable in the season locally known for its oppressive heat.
While theweather feelsrefreshing,somearea fishermen fail to see thebeauty in theconditions that have produced anythingbutreliable fishing resultsatLawrence's Clinton Lake.Thebiggest effecthas been seenin
Crappie spawning, which generally relies on warm water temperatures, was hampered by the lower temperatures this year. Because of the decreased output during the spawning catch, fishermen of the future could suffer even worse luck.
Clinton State Park wildlife manager, said. Schecher added that responsibility and patience are the keys to fishing as well as the future of fishing in area lakes.
As most other Kansas lakes have a 10-inch minimum length in place for crappie, Clinton Lake has no such rule. Park officials, though, do offer advice to local anglers.
"Be responsible about the size of fish to keep," Jerry Schecher,
In addition to temperature above average precipitation during July produced a mixed blessing at Clinton.
The importance of releasing undersized fish becomes increasingly important as the water cools down in the fall. As the lake's water temperature cools down from its current reading of 83 degrees, crappie will become more active.
While the lake's depth fluctuation produced less than desirable fishing in the main lake, the excess rains forced a discharge into the outlet, located on the northeast side of the dam. Local anglers have seen some of the best fishing of the season in that particular area.
"I've had more luck there at the outlet than anywhere else," Drew Marting, Shawnee senior, said.
The summer rains also offer good opportunities to catch channel catfish, which prefer to be in deeper water. The channel catfish are best pursued during and after
rainstorms.
Even though the erratic summer weather has caused decreased catches in the lake, attendance among boaters and fishermen has remained on par with previous years. Lee Kennedy, Clinton Marina general manager, attributes the steady flow of fishermen to the mild weather, which has offset the slightly reduced activity of pleasure boats and jet skis.
Conditions should only become more hospitable for Clinton Lake fishermen as the fall weather arrives.
"Right after Labor Day, all the players are gone," Kennedy said, referring to the boaters and skiers.
With those patrons gone, Clinton becomes a more welcoming site for fishermen. Even with the oddities of the summer weather, fishermen have remained encouraged and motivated by the rewards of a sport that relies largely on patience and luck.
"I go for the feeling you get when your line goes tight," Marting said. "The key is to go catching, not fishing."

In August heat, cool heads prevail on practice field
BY RYAN CULAIANNI

KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
It is more than 100 degrees outside and it feels even hotter with football pads on. After a long sprint, a player is immediately given a water bottle from one of his teammates.
Seconds later, he is back to sprinting. This is the daily ritual for the Kansas football team and this heat can cause deadly problems.
Since 1995,21 football players in the United States have died of heat stroke.
Last month, a senior at Carter High School in Dallas died after the first practice of the year, potentially because of heat stroke.
Minnesota Vikings offensive lineman Korey Stringer also died in training camp in 2001 from heat stroke.
Weeks before Stringer's death, a University of Florida freshman, Eraste Autin, also died from similar complications.
This issue gets more attention throughout the country as coaches, administrators and training staffs from the pee-wee to professional level attempt to thwart this problem.
While the unbearable August heat has yet to arrive, the Kansas football training staff and players have implemented many procedures to combat the heat when it comes.
"We know the heat is going to come sooner or later, and we are ready for it," junior linebacker Banks Floodman said. "Our conditioning we have been doing all summer is going to pay off."
At Kansas, the training staff has many strategies to make sure that none of the football players have a serious problem
Practices are held either early in the morning or after 5 p.m. to minimize the time the players are exposed to the hottest parts of the day.
because of heat.
According to the National Center for Environmental Health, symptoms of heat stroke are extremely high body temperature above 103 degrees, red, hot and dry skin while not sweating, rapid pulse, throbbing headache, dizziness, nausea and unconsciousness.
"You see a little confusion, you see a little lethargy, harder time recovering between reps," head football trainer Carol Jarosky said.
The training staff also conducts a medical inspection before training camp even begins.
"The ones that are not in great cardiovascular condition are going to have a harder time recovering, and more problems in the
Through the medical examinations, Jarosky has a good idea of whom the training staff needs to pay more attention to during hotter days.
heat." Jarosky said.
Jarosky said the most effective way to combat heat stroke is to keep the athletes hydrated. That is why each football player is issued a water bottle that is required to be with them at all times.
"Everytime they are up, moving around, in meetings, going to the training table, whatever, they are to have that water bottle with them." Jarosky said.
The training staff also weighs each player before and after each practice to see how much weight they lose.
For each pound of water a player loses at practice, they are required to drink 24 ounces of fluids.
Jarosky also works closely with Lawrence Emergency Med-

"If something serious does go wrong we can take care of it as quickly and efficiently as possible,"jarosky said.

Big 12 schools need to spend in order to earn wins
BY JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
It seems the most successful sport programs in the Big 12 share at least one thing in common. The biggest spenders are often the biggest winners. Football, especially, appears to be ruled by the biggest budget.
In the last season for which information could be gathered from all schools, 2002-03, the Big 12 had a combined budget of $316 million, according to a presentation made by the Iowa State Athletics Department.
That year's top six football programs controlled $202 million of the Big 12's combined $316 million budget.
In other words, 50 percent of the teams controlled 64 percent of the budget.
"We have to look for
Take out Texas Tech,which has not traditionally succeeded,and Nebraska,a historically successful program,and the numbers are
ways to raise revenue and create an even playing field. That kind of disparity is hard to overcome."
Jim Marchiony Associate athletics director
even more dramatic.
The six remaining school's $221 million combined expenditures are 70 percent of the combined budget.
Of the schools that responded to Kansan budget requests, all showed large increases in their sports spending.
Nebraska, for example,
increased its spending from $44.9
million to $53.6 million in just
two years.
Kansas, on the other hand, increased its spending by less than $2 million.
The Jayhawk budget went from $25.7 million to $27.2 million.
However, these changes are not quite as stark as those that show how much budgets have ballooned since the Big 12 was formed.
According to a story written in The Daily Collegian in 1996, Nebraska's budget was a paltry $24 million, less than half of its current outlays.
Kansas' budget was $15 million and Kansas State spent just $11 million.
Eight years later, Kansas State's budget has grown in excess of $30 million, an almost 300 percent increase.
Of course, the only numbers that truly matter in sports are those that appear on a score board at competitions. When considering the win-loss information, the schools that are winning are the schools that are spending.
According to the Kansas City Star's all-sports rankings, the overall winners last year were Texas and Texas A&M. Combined, their 02-03 budgets were $82.6 million.
Those two Big 12 teams spend more than one-fourth the conference's money.
The last three regular season football champions, Oklahoma. Colorado and Texas all have budgets in the upper third of the conference; Oklahoma and Texas are both in the top three.
"We have to look for ways to raise revenue and create an even playing field," said Jim Marchiony, Kansas' associate athletics director. "That kind of disparity is hard to overcome."
The paradox of the entire situation, however, is the more that is spent, the more that is earned and then spent again.
At Kansas, and only Kansas, football actually generates less revenue than men's basketball.
It is this reality which contributed to the creation of the priority points system, which is being implemented for the current basketball season.
By generating additional dollars from basketball, Kansas can boost overall spending for each of its other sports.
Kansas' budget jumped more than $5 million from 2002-2003 to 2004-05.
That jump is bigger than the combined increases from 1999 2004
While the numbers are real, schools with less cash often manage to do great things, too.
Baylor, the Big 12's most thrifty program, manages to perform well in many sports.
In addition to spending the least, it must pay the largest portion of its budget to tuition, as it is a private school, said Nick Joos, Baylor's associate athletics director for media relations and broadcast properties.
Two years ago, Kansas' projected $34 million budget would have landed the school a distant fourth in the Big 12. Today, that spending may not be enough to break the top half.
A report in the Lawrence Journal-World speculated that Lew Perkins, Kansas athletics director, would like to see a $40 million lhavawk budget.
Even today, though, that would be less than two-thirds of Texas' spending.
Accounting practices differ from school to school as does the way financial data is measured, sometimes skewing direct comparisons between schools, but the central idea remains constant.
Across the Big 12, athletics spending is on the rise, as schools throw down bigger bucks for bigger success.

Texas prep standout earns respect, learns the ropes
By RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolaiani@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
When a running back gains nearly 4,000 yards in his final two high school seasons, he usually expects to shoulder a portion of the running attack as a freshman at the collegiate level. That is probably not the case for Gary Green II, who is stepping into a deep Kansas backfield.
Green, a freshman from San Antonio, Texas, rushed for 1,729 yards in his senior season with 23 touchdowns. Plus, Green was not

playing against soft competition. Last season he earned 442 yards of total offense with seven touchdowns against the defending Texas state champions.
"I was in one of the toughest districts in the state of Texas," Green said. "It was like the Big 12 of high school."
Coach Mark Mangino is considering redshirting Green because junior Clark Green and sophomore John Randle are likely to log the majority of carries this season.
Clark Green rushed for 968 yards last season with six touchdowns, and Randle rushed for more than 500 yards as a freshman. With this competition, Green could find it difficult to get carries.
"When Gary Green gets the ball, he does some good things."
Mangino said. "There is not enough footballs and repetitions to work all those guys, so we have got to make some decisions."
The Kansas backfield is loaded with talent but there are not enough opportunities to give running backs the number of catches they desire in practice.
Green is confident that he is prepared to step into the backfield this season, he said. But his only playing time could be logged at different positions.
Mangino may use Green as a kick and punt returner though sophomore Charles Gordon and junior Greg Heaggans saw all of
last year's action and are expected to do the same this season. Senior Brandon Rideau and Randle are also competing for the job.
Clark Green is most impressed with his teammate's heart, not his blazing speed.
"I really in my heart want to play this year, but if I redshirt, then I redshirt," Green said. "That's really coach Mangino's decision. If he thinks that's best for me, then that's what I will do."

to become better running backs. In return, Clark Green and Randle are showing him the ropes.
"They have been through the smoke of the season already, so they got the years of experience," Green said.
According to rivals.com, Green was the seventh-ranked all-purpose back in the country. He chose Kansas over UCLA, Pittsburgh and Texas Tech. Green has football in his blood; his father was selected in the first round of the 1977 draft by the Kansas City Chiefs.
Summer professional sports whet appetite for fall
— Edited by Ashley Bechard
During the summer, as Jayhawk athletics prepared for the fall season, we sports fans were forced to supplement our appetites with the pros.
Isn't there something special about the professional athlete? Isn't the "big business" of professional sports so pure? It's a world where egos and attitudes are rivaled in size only by bank accounts, and the summer was rife with significant moments in pro sports.
Here's a glimpse back.
One of the summer's brightest moments and biggest whoopings came early on when the Detroit Pistons spanked the mighty Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals.
The Lakers, led by four future Hall of Famers, were supposed to walk straight to the title.
But the Pistons were a team key word, "TEAM" - led by a bunch of guys who flat-out
played basketball together and got it done. The Lake-show's two-man game between Shaquille "The Diesel" O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, the most notorious visitor of Eagle, Colo., could barely compete with the Pistons and Ben Wallace's megaafro and Richard Hamilton's please-don't-hit-me-in-the-face mask.
By defeating Phil Jackson's Lakers, Larry Brown, Pistons' coach and former University of Kansas head man, became the first coach to win an NBA title and an NCAA title. His Jayhawks won the NCAA Championship in 1988.

After the five-game series, the embarrassment the Lakers became was dismantled.
Jackson quit.

The Lakers traded O'Neal to the Miami Heat and Gary Payton to the Boston Celtics, and Kobe flirted with free agency offers
between trips to court. What we knew of the Lakers over past five years is no more, so look for the Pistons to defend their title in 2005.
In possibly the summer's most miraculous feat, Lance Armstrong won his sixth-consecutive Tour de France, obliterating the field by nearly seven minutes.
No one has ever achieved what Armstrong has in cycling, and it's not likely anyone will eclipse him.
The only obstacle Lance Armstrong faces now is himself.
After the crazy summer, the upcoming NFL season should be
pretty boring. With no more Ricky Williams dreadlock tackle stories, I'm not sure if I'm even interested anymore. Not really, I'm lying. I can't wait. Ricky's retirement kick-started what should be a fantastic season.
Who cares if Ricky wanted herbal freedom, or if he wanted to pursue "The Truth," or if he just lost his desire to get the living snot kicked out of him every week? I say, whatever. Good luck and good riddance.
The sport that rules the summer, America's old favorite pastime, has had one interesting twist. The best team in baseball is not the Yankees; it's the St. Louis Cardinals.
After key acquisitions that made headlines in the offseason, the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros were supposed to fight for the top spot in the toughest division in baseball.
Instead, because of injuries

and poor hitting, the Cardinals are looking in the rearview mirror at the Cubs and Astros. Sorry Chicagoans, maybe next year.
Back to the college game and the upcoming Jayhawk football season. The Jayhawks would love to build on last year's 6-6 season, but losing former quarterback Bill Whittemore is the least of their problems.
The Jayhawks have the unfortunate pleasure of playing eight of their 11 games against 2003 bowl teams, resulting in the fourth-toughest schedule in the country. Adam Barmann, sophomore quarterback, needs to help us forget about Whittimore.
ing back, needs to stay on the team, and Johnny Beck, senior kicker, has to make field goals. Even if the linebackers continue to be the pride of the defense and the Charles Gordon cornerback situation works out, Mangino's boys are still have to play well to win games this year.
In the end, America's sports viewers got a taste of what they craved this summer: championship performances, abysmal failure, crowning achievements, utter confusion and interesting surprises.
What else could anyone ask for from a long, but not entirely unusual summer in the world of professional sports? Not a whole lot — maybe a victory from the Royals, but that's just me. I'm Jack Weinstein, and you stay classy, Lawrence.

Marshall soccer squad uses paintball to inspire teammates
But not your typical soccer shooting.
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — There's nothing quite like shooting at a new teammate to get the 2004 soccer season started on the right track.
Wednesday, instead of taking shots on goal, the Marshall women's soccer team headed to Scary Creek Painball and took shots at each other.
the friendly fire was aimed to get the coaches, veteran team members and the Herd's 15 newcomers acquainted in a loose, fun environment before starting practice to prepare for the fall season.
"You can definitely tell the difference in the girls who went last year and got more into it and they helped the freshmen get more
"I think today was a good chance for the
freshmen to get to know the upperclassmen because the freshmen have all been together all week in the dorms, so this was good to get everyone together."
Kelly Jackson Rochester, N.Y. freshman
Sure, there were a few welts and bruises, but Hill said once everyone realized it didn't hurt too bad, the timidness went away
into it and it created a lively atmosphere," assistant coach Cory Hill said.
and the competitor in each of the athletes came out.
While playing paintball created a good atmosphere for team bonding, it also allowed the players to work together as a team and offered up plenty of competition as the group split into two teams and played several survival games.
attacks came up.
"It was funny at first to see them hesitate about getting hit, but then they really jumped in feet first and got after it," he said. "It was nice and relaxing to start out the first day with because now everybody's talking about it and it's a good common ground to get them more comfortable around each other and it was just a good event to bring everyone together so quickly."
"With all the freshmen coming in, it's nice to just get everybody together to have fun, let loose and kick it before things really get started," junior Jaime Gruber said.
Gruber and her fellow team
mates start practice in hopes of turning around last year's 2-15-1 record, and they're hoping bonding with fun activities like painball will help get the ball rolling the right way.
"It helped us get to know each other better already and it was a fun way to meet the new teammates," senior goalkeeper Ashleigh Woods said. "It's becoming a team in a different sort of way. You get the camaraderie with the smaller group and it helps you come together whether it's shooting at a coach or a teammate — whatever it takes. It was good."
While it helped bring about a sense of bonding and strength as a team for the returnees, it also gave the freshmen a chance to ease into their new surroundings.
"I think today was a good chance for the freshmen to get to know the upperclassmen because the freshmen have all been together all week in the
dorms, so this was good to get everyone together," said Kelly Jackson, a freshman from Rochester, N.Y. "It's exciting to be with a big group and getting to know everyone. There's a lot of expectations of everyone coming in and I'm excited to see everyone play together. I think today was good for all of us."
The expectations coming from the players and coaches are based on the talent level of the new class brought in, along with the crop of returnees hungry to avenge last year's season. Head coach Chris Kane's recruiting class was ranked No.22 in the Great Lakes Region.
"I think it's going to be a good transition and a whole lot better than last year," junior Jenn Short said. "We've got a lot of talented players and I think all the new players are going to fit in well with our system and what coach wants to do with them. I think we'll be a well-rounded team. We've got
everything we need that we've been lacking."
The Herd get their first test Aug. 21 at the University of Pittsburgh, and the players are looking forward to the challenge of the season ahead.
"We're doing a lot of team building and getting know each other right now, but it's going to be exciting to see our fitness get better and our strength get better as the season gets here," Woods said. "We're really excited about the new kids coming in and we're really anxious to get on the field and see our versatility."
So whether it's paintball or on the soccer field, one thing's for sure about the upcoming women's soccer season.
"We go balls to the wall, even in paintball," Gruber said. "That's what you can expect from Marshall women's soccer on the field this year. We're going to get after it harder than ever."

Newcomers boost roster
BY JASON ELMOUSIT
jelmquist@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
After last year's third-place Big 12 Conference finish and Sweet 16 appearance, the Kansas women's soccer roster will receive a boost from seven newcomers. Three transfers and four freshmen join 16 returning players all hoping to improve on last year's 18-6-1 regular season record.
One newcomer, sophomore Nicole Cauzillo, could make an immediate impact. Cauzillo transferred from West Virginia, where her main role was playing defense, an aspect of the game she didn't have previous experience with.
"I'd never played defense before," Cauzillo said. "Playing defense has only made me a better all-around player."
During the summer Cauzillo led her club team, the Michigan Hawks, to a national championship and received the Golden Boot Award for most goals scored.
As a Jayhawk, Cauzillo will add depth to a team that is

returning seven of its leading scorers.

Cauzillo also earned high school accolades as the 2003 Gatorade Player of the Year in Michigan.
"I am looking forward to getting back to attacking," Cauzillo said. "Last year, I was playing on a team that had an All-American so I didn't have too many chances."

level of talent heading into the season.
"Everybody on the team will compete for a position and challenge the starters." he said.
Cauzillo and the other new players hope to mesh with the senior-dominated team to repeat and improve on last year's success.
Its first test will be an exhibition game on Aug. 21 against Creighton at SuperTarget Field.

KEITH: After a detour, defensive player Mangino recruited to Mount Oread is still playing catch up
CONTINUED FROM 1B
After the conclusion of his football season, Keith left the football program and the University of Minnesota because he said it had become "too hard" for him to deal with, he said.
After taking a semester off, Keith landed at Minnesota-West.
A graduate assistant at Minnesota had taken the job at Minnesota-West and told Keith he could help him get back to school.
Keith took up the challenge and prepared himself for another season of football.
"Seeing that I'm a hard worker,
there's a lot I can get done."
Charlton Keith Junior defensive end
Mangino recruited Keith during the fall, and Keith signed a letter of intent in the spring.
Because of the semester he took off, his ability to play was held in question until he was able to make up the credits he missed.
Over the summer, Keith devoted most of his time to class work and was unable to keep up with a strict of a training regimen as Mangino and the rest of the coaching staff would have liked.
While he is still under weight and has not maintained his muscles as much as the team would like, he is determined to get into position to compete.
What will Keith be doing on Opening Day when the team hits the field?
"Seeing that I'm a hard worker, there's a lot I can get done," Keith said.

Southern California picked to retain championship Last year's co-champion LSU ranked behind Oklahoma, Georgia
11
Southern California junior quarterback Matt Leinhart finds the end zone in last season's Rose Bowl game against Michigan. With the Heisman Trophy hopeful at the helm, the Trojans are the favorites to walk away with another national championship this year. USC's offensive arsenal could further be bolstered by the return of Mike Williams, if the wide receiver gains his eligibility after testing the waters of the 2004 NFL Draft.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Southern California will begin defense of its first national title in 31 years as the No.1 team in the nation.
The Trojans earned the top spot in the preseason Associated Press poll released Saturday by receiving 48 of 65 first-place votes and 1,603 points.
It's the first time since 1979 the Trojans are preseason No.1 and the fourth time overall.
They also started No.1 in 1963 and '73.
Oklahoma, which was No. 1 for most of last season before losing its final two games, was No. 2 with 11 first-place votes and 1,529 points in the media poll. Heisman Trophy winner Jason White leads the Sooners.
The Bulldogs received five first-place votes and the Tigers got the remaining first-place vote.
No. 5 Florida State and No. 6 Miami open the regular season against each for the first time as Atlantic Coast Conference rivals on Sept. 6.
Georgia was No. 3, followed by fellow Southeastern Conference member and defending co-national champion LSU at No. 4.
The Trojans enter the 2004 season with a nine-game winning streak.
They are separated in the poll by just four points (1,291- 1,287).
USC went 12-1 last season and finished top-ranked in the AP poll, despite being left out of the Bowl Championship Series title game.
LSU beat Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl and was voted No.1 in the final coaches poll, as required by the BCS.
The Trojans return only nine starters from last year's team that set Pac-10 records for touchdowns (68) and points
Texas was No.7 with Big Ten trivals Michigan
and Ohio State No. 8 and No.9, respectively. No.10 West Virginia, the heavy favorite in the reconfigured Big East has never been ranked higher in the preseason. No.11 Florida is coming off a second straight 8-5 season under Ron Zook.
(534) . But don't be fooled. USC has no shortage of speed, talent and depth.
Matt Leinart, who threw for 3,556 yards and 38 touchdowns in his first season as a starter, directs an offense that is lacking only in experience.
For the Trojans, they share the job and form one of the deepest backfields in college football.
They combined for 1,936 yards rushing and 20 touchdowns last season.
Tailbacks Hershel Dennis, LenDale White and Reggie Bush would be featured runners on most teams.
The Troians have only one returning starter on the line and Leinart will have to break in a group of neophyte receivers with star potential.
Help could be on the way at receiver.
The Trojans are waiting for a ruling from the NCAA on the eligibility of star receiver Mike Williams.
All-American planned to enter the NFL draft but a court ruling
He has been practicing with the team.
Defensive linemen Shaun Cody, a third-team All-American, and Mike Patterson lead a defense that ranked No. 1 in the nation in run defense (60.2 yards per game).
USC will try to join Florida State in 1999 as the only wire-to-wire No.1.
Texas was No. 7 with Big Ten rivals Michigan and Ohio State eighth and ninth, respectively. No. 10 West Virginia, the heavy favorite in the reconfigured Big East, has never been ranked higher in the preseason.
No. 11 Florida is coming off a second straight 8-5 season under Ron Zook.
The Gators are followed by California, Kansas State, Tennessee and Clemson.
Virginia, Auburn, Missouri, Iowa and Utah are the next five. Wisconsin, Maryland, Oregon, Purdue and Minnesota round out the Top 25.
The Big Ten leads all conferences with six teams in the preseason poll.
The SEC and ACC each have five.
As notable as which teams made the rankings is a group of teams that didn't.
Notre Dame and Penn State both coming off losing seasons, and Nebraska will all be unranked to start the season.
The Cornhuskers went 10-3 last season and finished 19th in the final rankings but changed coaches—and offenses—replacing Frank Solich and the option with Bill Callahan and the West Coast offense.
The last time the Fighting Irish, Nittany Lions and Cornhuskers all failed to make the preseason poll was 1964, when only the top 10 teams were ranked.

Emporia State coach sues school
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The president of Emporia State University has been defending her school.
The women's volleyball coach at Emporia State University makes less than her basketball coaching colleagues because they work in different sports, not because of her gender, according to testimony from Kay Schallenkamp, the University's president.
Maxine Mehus, the Emporia State volleyball coach since 1988, is suing the University, claiming it is violating federal law prohibiting employment discrimination based on gender or race by paying her less than the school's basketball coaches, even though she
believes they have similar responsibilities.
U. S. District Judge Katrynn Vratisl is hearing Mehus' complaint during a trial that began Monday in Kansas City, Kan.
Mehus also claims she is subject to different employment terms than the basketball coaches, which also could be a violation of federal law. Mehus has a 10-month coaching appointment and is required to teach, her attorney said, while the basketball coaches are on 12-month appointments without teaching requirements.
In fiscal year 2003, Emporia State paid Mehus $46,499. Women's basketball coach Brandon Schneider made $61,327, while men's coach David Moe
received a salary of $60,008.
Lori Schultz, an attorney for Emporia State, said salary decisions were based on merit and the market and that Mehus received less money because she coached volleyball instead of basketball, not because of her gender. Mehus has received a raise every year she has been at the University, Schultz said.
Schallenkamp said credentials of the two basketball coaches, along with what she described as their greater responsibility to represent and promote the university, called for greater compensation. She said Moe and Schneider, along with football coach Dave Weimers, were the most high-profile coaches in the University's athletic program.
"They need to bring in the gate, quite frankly," Schallenkamp said.
Schallenkamp also said that coaching salaries were based on individual merit, including team performance, value in the marketplace and the athletic department's budget.
Mehus' attorney, Ann Schiavone, said four Emporia State coaches — the two basketball coaches, the football coach, and track and field coach David Harris — all made more than Mehus even though they have less head-coaching experience.
Attorneys for the school countered that the average salary for volleyball coaches at NCAA Division II schools such as Emporia State schools is $25,300, a little more than half of what Mehus makes.
Prosecutors seek delay in Bryant case
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Pressure is mounting on the judge overseeing Kobe Bryant's sexual assault case, with prosecutors citing courthouse gaffes as a reason for seeking the indefinite delay of the NBA star's criminal trial and the father of his accuser blasting the bench for bias against the prosecution.
Prosecutes requested the delay even as they made moves to appeal a key ruling in the case, arguing to the Colorado Supreme Court that the accuser's sexual activities should not be admitted as evidence. If accepted, the appeal could delay the trial for weeks.
The legal moves came as the father of Bryant's accuser wrote a blistering letter to District Judge Terry Rucklekrieg saying his family had "lost trust that we can obtain a fair trial in your court."
"It has been painfully obvious that you treat the defense as if they can do no wrong and the prosecution and my daughter's attorney as if you have something against them or this case," he wrote in a letter filed with the court on Aug. 9 and posted on the Web sites of the Vail Daily and KUSA-TV on Wednesday.
Bryant, 25, has pleaded not guilty to felony sexual assault. He has said he had consensual sex with the woman, then 19, at the Vail-area resort where she worked last summer. Jury selection is scheduled to begin Aug. 27.
Experts said it was unlikely Ruckriegle will agree to a delay at such late notice. Nearly 1,000 residents have been mailed jury summonses, witnesses have been scheduled to testify and the judge and attorneys have cleared their calendars for September, said Craig Silverman, a former prosecutor.
"It is an incredible logistical task to reschedule all of this," he said. "What will happen is once the continuance is denied, I would not be surprised if the prosecution throws up its hands and says, 'Well, then, we cannot proceed.'"
The request for delay, the high court appeal and the letter could indicate the victim is planning to abandon the criminal trial, legal experts speculated Wednesday.
"It seems to be part of this well-orchestrated exit strategy from this fatally-flawed criminal case," Silverman said.
leaving prosecutors in limbo on whether to hire more expert witnesses. Easter also accused defense experts of waiting too long to turn over DNA test results.
Easter singled out transcripts from a June hearing that were mistakenly e-mailed to seven news organizations, including The Associated Press. The media outlets won a court fight with the judge to publish the details, including a defense expert's explanation on why she believes the accuser had sex with someone after her encounter with Bryant and before she was examined at a hospital - a claim the woman's attorney has denied.
In a court filing made public Wednesday, prosecutor Dana Easter said the recent release of closed-door testimony hurt the chances of getting a fair jury. She also said the judge has not yet decided whether the woman's mental health and medical history will be admitted as evidence,
The widely publicized allegation was "extremely harmful" to the prosecution's case, Easter said, and Ruckriegle's strict gag order has prevented prosecutors from responding.

MU alum shoots relative, dies
ST.LOUIS—A former University of Missouri football star shot his stepdaughter and attacked neighbors, then died after struggling with police, authorities said Thursday.
Ernest Blackwell, 29, of St Louis County, died Wednesday night. An autopsy was scheduled for last Thursday. Results were not yet known.
Police didn't know a motive for the attack.
"There really is no logical reason for any of this." St. Louis County police spokesman Rick Eckhard said.
Officers used several means to try and subdue Blackwell, including shooting him twice with a Taser, which delivers an electrical jolt, during a 10-minute struggle. Paramedics eventually sedated Blackwell, who was 6-foot-3 and weighed 230 pounds during his college playing days, and put him in an ambulance. He died on the way to the hospital.
Blackwell was a running back at Missouri and was part of the team that ended a 13-year string of losing seasons in 1997, earning a berth in the Holiday Bowl. He was picked in the seventh round of the 1998 draft by the Kansas City Chiefs, but was cut during the preseason.
Corby Jones, the quarterback on the team, said Blackwell was the most talented player he has ever seen. But he said Blackwell had few friends on the team.
"Ernest kind of kept to himself," Jones said. "He didn't have any enemies but he was not a guy who socialized much."
St. Louis County Police Chief
lerry Lee defended his officers.
"I am proud of these officers for
Ernest kind of kept to himself. He
didn't have any enemies but he was not a guy who socialized much."
David Shulenburger University of Kansas provost
their courageous and selfless actions," Lee said. "I knew from talking with the officers involved on scene that this was a very intense and prolonged struggle to make the arrest. I commend them for their appropriate and timely response."
Blackwell's 9-year-old stepdaughter and two neighbors — a 14-year-old girl and her mother suffered serious injuries. Both girls were in intensive care. Four police officers were also treated for injuries.
Police were initially called to the scene for a traffic hazard when an officer learned of the disturbance. He went inside a home to find the 14-year-old girl bleeding and injured, and allegedly heard Blackwell attacking the girl's mother.
Blackwell tackled the officer and tried to take his gun, police said. The officer was able to hit an alarm alerting other officers, who arrived to help.
Blackwell was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.
Officers later learned that Blackwell had earlier used a shotgun inside his own home and shot his stepdaughter in the chest, before going two houses down and attacking the 14-year-old and her mother.

Media assistant looks forward to working with Self
BY JESSE NEWELL

KANSAN SPOTTIEWRITE
Chris Theisen has attended the last eight men's basketball Final Fours as a member of the Big 12 basketball office.
After accepting a media relations position with the Kansas men's basketball program this season, Theisen isn't ready to give up on his streak just yet, especially with Bill Self, Kansas men's basketball coach, heading up the program.
this year could be a great year."
"I think I got a good shot at number nine," Theisen said. "When you have four returning starters and the depth coach Self brought in, there's no doubt that
THEISEN
In July Kansas named Theisen its new assistant athletic director for media relations. He will oversee all the major sports promotion at the University with his main
focus on coach Self's basketball team.
It will be the third time Theisen has worked on the same staff asself. He served as a student assistant at the media relations office at Oklahoma State in the 1988-89 season at the same time Self was
an assistant coach under Leonard Hamilton. After an internship, he returned as a student assistant to the program in 1990-91, when Self was an assistant under new coach Eddie Sutton.
Theisen said he looks forward to working with Self in the seasons to come.
"He doesn't forget a face or forget a name, and that's what I like about him the most," Theisen said. "He's a friend of all, which is the way he presents himself to me."
Theisen received that impression in the years since the two worked together. On one occasion, Self started a conversation with Theisen on a plane to the 1997 Final Four. He also
approached Theisen at Final Fours when he was coach for both Illinois and Tulsa.
"It is kind of neat to see how we separated," Theisen said. "Men's basketball is a lot more high profile than media relations, but he went his path, and we crossed a couple times."
Like Self, Theisen was born in Oklahoma and graduated from Oklahoma State.
And now, like Self, he holds office on Naismith Drive, a thrill which he hasn't fully taken in yet.
"It's pretty cool walking into Allen Fieldhouse, which is celebrating its 50th year," Theisen said. "You walk out the door and see all the drawings of the great athletes that have been here. It's
pretty overwhelming."
Self is not the only member of the Kansas team with whom Theisen is being reunited. As assistant sports information director at Kansas State from 1991 to 1993, he worked alongside then-assistant coach Mark Mangino, who is currently in his third season as head football coach at Kansas. He also has worked with Jim Marchiony, Kansas associate athletics director, in five of the past eight Final Fours when Marchiony held the media coordinator position.
"It's such a who-you-know world."Theisen said, "and knowing these guys has really helped me out."
fessionalism and good national reputation made him an easy choice for the job.
"I think he will bring a wealth of experience and knowledge," Marchiony said. "He's exactly what we needed in that position."
Theisen worked as the Big 12 media-relations director for the past six years. He replaces Mitch Germann, who spent seven years in the Kansas media relations office before accepting a new job at the end of last season.
Theisen's wife, Cathy, who graduated with a law degree from the University in 1997, and two sons, Jack and Andrew, will join him in Lawrence in early September.

Kansas 79-71 in last year's Elite Eight, blocking Kansas from its third-consecutive Final Four appearance.
Kansas also has non-conference road games scheduled against Kentucky and Villanova in January, both slated to be televised nationally on CBS.
Kansas will participate in three Big Monday contests, with ESPN broadcasting its College Game Day studio live from the fieldhouse for the Jan. 29 game against Texas.
Senior Day will have extra significance this season because Kansas will commemorate 50 years since the opening of the fieldhouse with a March 2 game against Kansas State.
For the fourth-consecutive season, the Jayhawks will end their season with a road game against the Missouri Tigers.
The two teams played the first game in the fieldhouse on March 1,1955.
"I if you look at how many NCAA Tournament teams we play, and the number of teams that went deep in the tournament, it looks to be a very challenging schedule."
Jim Marchiony Associate athletics director
Kansas will face 10 NCAA tournament teams from last year, including three that reached the Elite Eight. Oklahoma State, Georgia Tech and St. Joseph's.
"If you look at how many NCAA Tournament teams we play, and the number of teams that went deep in the tournament, it looks to be a very challenging schedule," Marchiony said.

Nebraska to build football facilities
BY Van Jensen
Daily Nebraskan,
University of Nebraska
VIA U-WIRE
It takes championship facilities to make championship teams. That was the message hammered home on Tuesday as Nebraska's academic and athletic broke ground on the $50 million Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex.
Tom Osborne himself acknowledged the importance of this expansion that will add 6,000 seats to Memorial Stadium and create new facilities for Nebraska's athletes.
"We have to keep up with the other folks," Osborne said, alluding to the arms race of bigger and better facilities in college athletics.
Nebraska's expansion will keep the Osborne name on it, though Tom Osborne held a press conference in November 2003 to say he had asked the athletic
department to pursue corporate sponsorship for the complex because of the firing of head football coach Frank Solich.
Osborne addressed the 500 or so fans and VIPs on hand, wishing Bill Callahan well as NU's new football coach and saying the past is the past.
And while football was the day's focus, two athletes and Chancellor Harvey Perlman spoke about the importance of the new facilities to all of Nebraska's athletic teams.
"It's important to remember all our intercollegiate athletic teams will benefit." Perlman said.
Perlman said Nebraska has already used the promise of new facilities to recruit two nationally ranked software engineering faculty.
For the future of another program, the hope is that the new facilities on the north side will prove just as useful in recruiting.

Greece brings Olympics home, highlights history
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS, Greece — With the five Olympic rings ablaze in the middle of a manmade sea, the Summer Games returned to their birthplace last Friday in an epic homecoming that joined the gods of ancient Greece and modern sport.
1960
The biggest parade of nations in the games' history began with an announcer's cry of "Welcome back to Greece!" and culminated with a Greek windsurfing champion lighting the Olympic cauldron.
International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge urged athletes to show that sport unites by overriding national, political, religious and language barriers.
A sign of the increased security measures floated overhead — a blimp with supersensitive
"We need peace, we need tolerance, we need brotherhood," he said.
A round-the-clock work blitz under broiling sun and blinding spotlights managed to pull together the vast network of venues, transport links, villages and security needed for the athletes and heads of state at the first Summer Games since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

The parade of nations began with the appearance of Greek weightlifter Pyrros Dimas, who is seeking his fourth consecutive gold medal at the games.
Drummers make their way through the Olympic Stadium during the opening ceremony for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens on Friday.
Behind him more than 10,500 athletes streamed into the stadium.
The entrance of the more than 500-member U.S. team — led by basketball guard Dawn Staley — drew cheers. But some people also stood and put their thumbs down in an apparent show of displeasure for the war in Iraq. Moments later, the Iraqis entered to a roaring ovation.
walking single file as the crowd chanted "Hellas, Hellas," as the country is called in Greek.
The Chinese team was led by 7-foot-6 Yao Ming, who towered over even other basketball giants in the main stadium field. And Paraguaay carried a banner that read "From Horror to Hope" in apparent reference to the supermarket fire that killed nearly 400 people earlier this month.
Greece, because of its links to the ancient games, entered first. But, as the host nation, the more than 440 Greek athletes also were the last into the stadium
But the Greek team had two glaring holes. A doping scandal threatens the country's biggest
track stars — 200-meter champion Kostas Kenteris and 100-meter silver medalist Katerina Thanou.
Kenteri had been considered the favorite to light the Olympic
cauldron. Instead, he and Thanou were hospitalized with minor injuries following a motorcycle wreck. The accident came after the two were accused of evading a drug test.

But instead the honor went to Nikolaos Kaklamanakis, the champion from the centennial games that not Greece but Atlanta won. For Greeks, it was a poignant choice.
Two Jayhawks vie for places on U.S. Olympic team
BY FRAK KANKAR
ftankard@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRITER
At the Olympic Trials in Sacramento this July, Abby Emsick and Doug Reynolds both threw the discus. For Emsick, a Council Bluffs, Iowa junior who set the University of Kansas discus record as a freshman, this was her first taste of the Trials. For the 29-year old Reynolds, a former University of Arizona standout going into his fifth year as the University track throws coach, it was probably his last.
Reynolds placed fifth, and for the second straight Trials, he barely missed the top three finish that would earn him a spot on the Olympic team (in 2000 he placed fourth). Emsik, whose first exposure to national competition came at the 2003 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Palo Alto, Calif., placed 22nd out of 24.
Emsick landed the final qualifying spot for the Trials with her school record-setting throw of 180 feet, ten inches at the NCAA Midwest Regional meet in 2003, her best throw to date. Despite her disappointing performance at the Olympic Trials, where she threw 168 feet, two inches, Emsick said she was happy just to be there.
"I would've liked to have done better, but considering the meet it was, I did okay," she said.
Reynolds wanted a little more.
At the 1996 Olympic Trials Reynolds was a 21-year old kid from the University of Arizona with little experience at the national level. Since then, he has competed in eight straight national championships in discus, making the finals every time
Reynolds has spent the last six years as a coach as well, first as a part-time assistant at Arizona for one year, then as throws coach at Boise State for one year and now four years at Kansas.
Eight years after his first Olympic Trials, Reynolds said he had seen enough of competition as an athlete.
Last year Reynolds suffered a back injury midway through the season, and he has not been the same since.
"It's been a rough year for me," he said. "I developed some bad habits to alleviate the back pain that I wasn't able to fully break this year."
Although he has been struggling since the injury, Reynolds has been one of the nation's elite discus throwers for the past eight years and placed third at the U.S. Outdoor Championships in 2003.
"I's been a rough year for me," he said. "I developed some bad habits to alleviate the back pain that I wasn't able to fully break this year."
"For me to have the worst year of my career but still place fifth, I've had a pretty good career," he
Doug Reynolds University of Kansas Assistant track coach
said. "I never made an Olympic team, and that will probably haunt me for the rest of my life. But I'm very proud of my career."
He said that his first priority had always been to his athletes, so leaving competition should give him more time to focus on what he enjoyed the most: coaching.
Emsick agrees.
"It was hard for him being both a coach and an athlete," Emsick said. "He needed to choose one or the other, and he made the right decision because coaching is what he wants to do."
However, like all retirees, even those who walk away at the ripe old age of 29, Reynolds can not help but get a little sentimental. He said he saw a lot of himself in Emsick, especially in the way she reacted to the pressure of her first two national championships.
"She does a great job of using her size as motivation to succeed and overcome weakness," Reynolds said. "She has an immeasurable amount of heart and desire to compete and win."
"The parallels are amazing. In my first national championship, I was pretty flustered, and my whole throw was off. In my second, I felt much more calm and composed," he said. "I saw the same thing in Abby. The only thing that was off this go-round was her timing. It's like seeing myself all over again, only as a 5"5" girl."
If there is one thing that Reynolds has and Emsick lacks, it is height. Emsick stands shorter than nearly all of her competitors.
Her quick, explosive throw does not hurt, either. Reynolds said that when he first saw Emsk throw in high school at the Drake Relays in 2001, he assumed "she was going to get killed" by the bigger girls. Then he saw something he had not expected.
"I saw the discus go back, and I saw her throw it, and I didn't see anything in between," he says. "She was so unbelievably fast. Right then and there I said, 'I've got to get that one.'"
For Emsick, who won a record six Drake Relays championships in high school, four in discus and
two in shot put, coming to Kansas was not a tough decision.
"I wanted to be in the Big 12 and go to a school that was within driving distance, but not too close to home," she said. "Coach Reynolds had a plan for building a strong team, and Coach Redwine [KU's head track coach] seemed to be supportive of the throwers. KU just fit."
Since arriving at Kansas in the fall of 2002, Emsick finished second in discus at the Big 12 Championships as a freshman and competed at the NCAA Outdoor Championships that year, in addition to setting the school record.
She redshirted last spring due to health issues, but after feeling well enough to throw at the Trials she is looking forward to next track season.
"I want to improve at both shot put and discus," she said. "I'm looking forward to getting back to school and seeing my teammates again."
With Emsick and the University's other talented throwers to coach and new recruits coming in every year, retiring from competition is not the end of the road for Reynolds. It is the start of a new one. Now that he has the time to focus all of his efforts on his athletes, it is exciting to imagine what the results might be.
Reynolds has already guided three athletes to the Olympic Trials: Emsick and two throwers in his year at Boise State. This year's winner of the discus at the Olympic Trials, Jarred Rome, is one of his former athletes from Boise State.
Reynolds said that he kept a notepad next to his bed when he slept. He often wakes up in the middle of the night with ideas to help his athletes improve. Now that he will not be dreaming about competing as an athlete, that notepad should fill up quickly.
Head Track Coach Stanley Redwine said that Reynolds "simply knows how to prepare his athletes."
"My last day of competition was a bittersweet day for me because one of my former athletes beat me and won the U.S. title," he says. "I told Jarred, 'When athletes I've coached start beating me and taking over at the top, I'll walk away.'"
With such results, Reynolds is respected at Kansas by both his athletes and fellow coaches.
For Emsick, her dreams of glory are just beginning. This year she wants to represent Kansas as an All American and have a good season against Big 12 competition.
And will she be at the 2008 Beijing Olympics? "Yeah," she said laughing nervously. "Hopefully."
Gold sure thing for duo
In one particular Olympic team sport, the United States has an immediate advantage over any other group that steps on the court.
No other team has the decorated history, raw talent and polished expertise as the United States in this sport. The Americans are almost a sure lock to win a gold medal.
And no, I'm not talking about the basketball team.
To see truly dominant American athletes, look no further than the beach volleyball duo of Kerri Walsh and Misty May.
The United States has not medaled in the sport since it was introduced at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. Walsh and May will almost certainly break the losing streak.
Unfortunately, most conversations I have about the dynamic duo follow the same basic outline:
"Walsh and May are really gonna dominate in Athens."
"Who?"
"You know, the volleyball players in that Visa commercial."
"Oh yeah. They're hot. Span-
dex rules."
Indeed, there was uproar

aimed at ESPN's Page 2 Web site when Walsh was not named one of its 24 hottest female athletes.
But guys, if you choose to tune in, you'll see much more than nice scenery. Unmatched skill and athletic ability will also be on display.
At 6-foot-3, Walsh is one of the most dominant players in the game's history. ESPN rated her one of the top female athletes in the world.
Ray Bechard, Kansas volleyball coach, tutored Walsh while an assistant coach on the 1995 Youth National Volleyball team. He said she had all the tools of a superior athlete.
"She's a good blocker, an attacker. She's a real physical presence," he said.
from her, Bechard said. But she is a dominant spiker.
Challengers at the 28th Olympiad will likely aim for May, who at 5-foot-10 is the runt of the pair. She is also recovering from an abdominal strain that prevented her from competing during the last three months.
Because of her range, Walsh rarely had an opportunity to hit because opponents aimed away
"One reason Walsh has been so successful is that she surrounded herself with a very talented partner," Bechard said. He said he expected the duo to win the gold medal on Aug. 25. Competition started Aug. 14 at the Falliro Coastal Zone Athletic Complex in the Greek capital.
With that kind of dominance, Walsh and May have earned the title of the new American dream team.
Winning would hardly be a new experience for Walsh and May. At one point, the dynamic duo won an unprecedented 90 straight matches and 34 straight tournaments.
And I guarantee this contingent won't lose to Italy.

Host to leave 'Late, Late Show'
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Craig Kilborn has decided to quit CBS' Late Late Show after five seasons, leaving the network to find a new host for the hour that follows Late Show with David Letterman.
"It was easily the greatest job I've had, and CBS was very generous in their offer to re-sign me," Kilborn told Daily Variety. "But I simply want to try something new. I can now focus on writing and producing different television projects I haven't had time for."
Not one to pass up a gag, Kilborn added: "And this is cool: I will continue to wear makeup in my everyday life."
Kilborn had drawn solid ratings for CBS since he took the time slot over from Tom Snyder. Since 1999, the audience had grown 34 percent to this season's average of 1.7 million viewers.
He likely will wrap up his tenure by within a month, according to a source close to the production, Variety reported Friday.
The program is produced by Letterman's company, Worldwide Pants.
CBS, which learned of Kilborn's decision Thursday, had no comment on his replacement, a CBS spokesman said Friday.
There was immediate speculation that Conan O'Brien, whose contract with NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien has more than a year to run, might be a candidate—if he could eventually could end up with Letterman's job.
Industry speculation has it that Letterman is likely to exit late-night TV before Leno does.
Kilborn was the original host of Comedy Central's "Daily Show" and had a role in the 2003 film "Old School."
Velvet Teen: Changes sound, dynamics
BY LOGAN MOORE
Daily Illini, University of Illinois
VIA U-WIRE
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — On their latest album, "Elysium," the Velvet Teen have taken a bold move. They have changed their sound. For any band to attempt to switch up the dynamics, let alone a band with a devoted fan base such as theirs is quite the ballsy endeavor. It can often spell disaster, the underground is littered with the corpses of failed second albums, bands that decided stretch themselves too thin over that grand concept album or awkwardly incorporated "beats." Fortunately, the Velvet Teen have a secret weapon; big, brash, pop songs, overstuffed with the sort of naked emotionalism that seems to have gone out of style among the indie zeitgeist.
In speaking of his band's modus operandi bassist Josh Staples relates, "It doesn't have to be expressed in the same way as our band. But, we're definitely into moving music. I think everyone who listens to music likes that."
Therein lies the appeal of the
Velvet Teen. The songs are bitter sweet and wistful soaring to towering heights, pushed upward on the wings of strong musicianship and the acrobatic falsetto of lead singer Judah Nagler. For a band with such a gargantuan sound, they have somewhat humble beginnings, having once been a side project by Judah and original drummer Logan Whitehurst.
"Logan and Judah were in a band together. Logan had been doing solo projects for years and years and Judah had been making music as well." Josh said. "They got together and started putting songs and music together. It was called The Secret Band ... The Secret Band split up, they continued making music together, really a side project of a side project." Later on Josh joined as bassist, "I'd been listening to their stuff. I was in a few of the bands they used to play with the time and they asked me to join," he says. Current drummer Casey Deitz, formerly of the Americas, joined after Whitehurst decided to devote more time to his project the Junior Science Club.
Building a strong reputation in
the Northern Bay Area for their guitar-driven anthems, blistering live shows, and their 2002 full-length debut Out of the Fierce Parade, the band has emerged as a different animal with "Elysium."
For a band well known for their anglophilic guitar rock, having been compared with everybody from Radiohead to U2, in a genre dominated by the instrument, the move is ostentatious in the most inspiring of ways. Of the lack of a six-story Josh says, "It wasn't our main goal. Our main goal was to make it sound as good as it could. Guitars just didn't fit into the equation." In their wake, the band has opted to fill out the sound of 'Elysium' with an entire string quartet. "It's something we've always wanted to do as musicians," Josh discloses, "... My mother and her string quartet played on two of the tracks."
While these decisions are ultimately a leap forward for the band, the new album will certainly draw comparisons to it's previous work, especially it's well-received debut album. Out of the Fierce Parade. Of the difference between the two albums,
Josh states, "We spent 2000 to the end of 2001 to write all those songs, two years of songwriting went into eight days of recording. 'Elysium' was sort of like the inverse of that ... we didn't have any time constraints. So all the songs came out of the same period. (On the first album) we made an effort to have all the songs relate to one another. On 'Elysium' there's definitely more of that. The themes are very similar; some of the songs are about the same people and situations. It's much more of a single piece."
Perhaps all the freedom and experimentation contributed to the unified feeling of the album as well. States Josh, "You have this thing hanging over your head in a studio...it was a leisurely thing with no dead lines. This particular album could not have been rushed."
In the end, 'Elysium' isn't such a seismic shift in sound after all. The Velvet Teen were always a group of creative young musicians with a penchant for the graceful and bittersweet. Nothing could describe their new album better.
Italy grants Deniro with honorary citizenship
ROME - Italy plans to grant Robert De Niro honorary citizenship, rejecting opposition from an Italian-American organization that says the actor has projected a bad image with numerous roles as an Italian thug.
Culture Minister Giuliano Urbani still wants to grant De Niro honorary citizenship during next month's Venice Film Festival, where he is expected to promote his voice-over role in the animated movie "Shark Tale," press official Tiziana Benini said Friday.

"De Niro has made a career of playing gangsters of Italian
The Order Sons of Italy in America wrote a letter to Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi earlier this week, urging him to cancel the planned honor.
The letter to Berlusconi argued: "He has done nothing to promote Italian culture in the United States. Instead, OSIA and its members hold him and his movies responsible for considerably damaging the collective reputations of both Italians and Italian Americans."
Berlusconi's office had no immediate comment.

Cleveland family gives art collection to museum
INDIANAPOLIS — The Gund family of Cleveland has donated a $15 million collection
of Western art, including the Frederick Remington bronze "Bronco Buster" sculpture, to the Eiteljorg Museum for permanent display.
The collection of 57 bronzes, oil paintings, watercolors, sketches and lithographs is the largest gift of artwork to the museum since 1989, when it opened with founder Harrison Eitejlorg's collection of American Indian and Western art, museum President John Vanausdall said.
In recognition of the family's contribution, the Eiteljorg will unveil the Gund Gallery of Western Art when it opens its newly expanded building in June 2005.
George Gund, a Cleveland banker and real estate investor, began collecting Western art in 1929. After he died, his family assembled an exhibit that traveled the country. It has been stored in Eiteljorg's climate-con
"The passionate dedication of its volunteers and of its professional staff, along with its uniquely dedicated facilities, were key to our decision," said Gordon Gund, owner of the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers and one of George Gund's six children.
Two women appointed to direct art festival
ROME — Venice's Biennale has appointed two Spanish art experts to direct its International Art Exhibition, one of the world's most prestigious contemporary art festivals.
Maria de Corral and Rosa Martinez will direct next year's exhibition, organizers said Thursday. It
was the first time women had been chosen for the job.
The following edition, in 2007, will be directed by Robert Storr, an artist and critic who has been curator of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Biennale said. Storr will also run a Biennale international symposium on contemporary art to be held in the autumn.
President Davide Croff hopes the choice of these new directors will "encourage the Venice Biennale's project for renewal in the visual arts sector," the Biennale said in a statement.
The Venice Biennale Art Exhibition takes place every two years, with displays of architecture, dance, music, theater and visual arts. The exhibitions began in 1895 and are displayed in pavilions in Venice's shipyard district.

20th Olympiad parallels games in Greece today
By John Rodden Daily Texan, University of Texas via U-Wire
Thirty-two years ago, it was opening day of the 20th Olympiad in Munich, Germany. In the upcoming several days, the talk of the town is all about the new athletic powerhouse, East Germany. Competing in its first Olympiad as a separate nation, East Germany has won 50 medals by Sept. 5 (as much as the rest of Europe combined). Again and again, East German athletes triumphantly mount the victory platform in Munich's Olympic Stadium, which has just been built on the spot where British Prime Minister Chamberlain
landed in 1938 to meet Hitler.
West Germany is, however, also receiving applause that the "New Germany" of 1972 bears no resemblance to the last German that staged the Olympic Games - Hitler's Reich in 1956. Alas, the West Germans' virtuoso staging of the Games is soon overshadowed by a horrific tragedy as Day 11 of the Games opens..
Sometime after 4 a.m., five Palestinian Arab members of the Black September terrorist group, disuised in track suits and toting gym bags, mount the 6-foot security fence surrounding the Olympic Village. Their ease of entry is assisted by information from secret police agents who were affiliated with the East German Olympic delegation.
The Palestinian Arabs proceed to the third floor of 31 Connolly Street, a pedestrian-only street, where the Israeli athletes are housed. Two Israelis are killed as they tried to block their dormitory door against the terrorists. Then, the Black September members seize nine male Israelis — including three coaches, two officials and four athletes, all of them weightlifters and wrestlers — as hostages, demanding concessions from the Israeli government.
In the next 24 hours, as a billion viewers watch in horror, the Israelis and the five Arabs die in a shootout between terrorists and Israeli commandoes. The International Olympic Committee resumes competition after a one-day pause.
Fast-forward to 2004. The PLO activist believed to have been responsible for planning the attack, Abu Daoud, has still never been apprehended. After the Sept. 5 attack, he was reportedly sheltered by East Germany's secret service and lived there into the late 1980s. He now lives in Ramallah.
"The Games must go on," IOC President Avery Brundage proclaims.
Why did the Munich tragedy happen? What was behind it? Did the Munich killings achieve their goal? According to Israeli officials, the "Munich Massacre"
But one of the terrorists, Abu Iyad, has hailed the Munich "adventure" as a success, for it brought the Palestinian cause to the attention of millions of people who had been only dimly aware of it. And Bruce Hoffman, in his authoritative study, "Inside Terrorism," describes the Munich tragedy as "the premier example of terrorism's power to rocket a
failed because its goal was to detail the peace process permanently — and that hasn't happened. In 1997, Ambassador to Germany Avi Primor called the Munich violence "a symbol of terrorism against Israel" and emphasized that violence has not and will not stop the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians.
cause from obscurity to renown."
Some observers believe the era of terrorism began 30 years ago during the Munich Olympics. According to Frank Shorter, who garnered a gold medal in the Munich marathon (the first and only American ever to win an Olympic marathon), "There was some hijacking of planes before Munich, but that was the first major international attack by terrorists on an entity or a culture. Then you see 9/11, and you realize in a way how over the last 30 years it has just grown. I think you can almost draw a line from Munich to 9/11. It's not that we in America didn't learn from Munich, it just wasn't here. Now it's here."
ATHENS, Greece — For two years, Carly Patterson had the spotlight all to herself.
Patterson eyes Olympic comeback
The gymnast won all but one meet she entered from 2002 through April 2004, and was anointed as the United States' best chance to win all-around gold at the Athens Olympics.
Associated Press
Bela and Martha Karolyi gave her the ultimate compliment, comparing her to Mary Lou Retton. McDonald's featured her in its Olympic advertising campaign, and she made the rounds of the morning talk shows.
That's an awful lot to heap on the shoulders of a 16-year-old who's only 5 feet tall and weighs less than 100 pounds.
"I tried not to focus on what the media was saying about me because I don't want to feel pressure," she said Thursday. "I just do my job. This is a sport I love to do and I do it because I want to."
But Patterson appeared to feel the weight of the expectations at the Olympic trials, where she fell off the balance beam twice. Two
weeks after winning a share of the national title, she finished third at trials.
"This is gymnastics. There's not one person in the world who will go and hit every competition," said Evgeny Marchenko, Patterson's coach. "And I think in a certain way, it was good because we put more focus on certain things."
Two days before the women's competition began, Patterson was solidly back on track. Martha Karolyi, the coordinator of the U.S. team, said Patterson has looked good in practice.
"She'll do the job that's expected of her." Karolyi said.
Even better, there are now five other women to share Patterson's spotlight.
Not only is the U.S. team favored to win gold, but every member has a good story.
ers.
Annia Hatch is a Cuban native who moved to the United States for love and, at 26, she's a rarity in a sport that prizes youth. Mohini Bhardwaj is a fellow "senior citizen" at 25, and she counts former "Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson as one of her biggest support-
Courtney McCool is a bubbly 16-year-old who burst onto the scene when she won a test event at the Olympic Indoor Hall in March. Terin Humphrey was among the steadiest performers throughout the Olympic qualifying process.
And then there's Courtney Kupets, who blew out an Achilles tendon last August but has come back stronger than ever. She shared the national title with Patterson at nationals and won the Olympic trials outright.
"All of our girls are really, really good," Patterson said. "I don't think anything is just focused on me."
Maybe not. But if the Americans are going to be golden girls, Patterson will play a key role.
Coach Kelli Hill hadn't unveiled her lineups for yesterday's team qualifications by Friday, but Patterson will compete in all four events. If everything goes as planned, her performance there would put her in the all-around, where she'll be among the favorites.
to Russian diva Svetlana Khorkina at last summer's world championships, she discovered she'd competed with two fractures in her elbow. Marchenko has dubbed her "Harley Davidson" because of her toughness, and he's lost track of how many times he's had to stay late in the gym so she can work on something "just one more time."
After finishing a close second
"When she makes a mistake, she's very mad because she's a perfectionist, like most of our gymnasts are," Karolyi said. "So she goes back into the gym to work on the details, to work on the small technical details, and they feel more confident of the outcome."
That's what made Patterson's miscues at trials so stunning. One mistake would have been surprising enough. But she fell off the beam both days, something she hasn't done in years.
"I just went back in the gym and did a lot of routines, a lot of skills. I was never worried about it," she said. "It's like they always say, 'You're getting them out of the way before the real thing.'"
Olympic spectators should have no fear
The Associated Press
ATHENS, Greece — Amid gun-toting police, Patriot missile batteries and circling surveillance planes, fears of a terror attack seemed muted on the eve of the opening ceremony for the Athens Games.
Greek Public Order Minister Giorgos Voulgarakis, who is overseeing efforts to protect Olympic venues, athletes and visitors, said he is convinced the games are in no danger.
Security officials in Europe said the chatter between terror groups has dropped in recent weeks, following the capture of some 50 al-Qaida suspects in Pakistan.
Analysts say that Greece, a low-profile member of the European Union that opposed the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq last year, isn't it itself a prime target for terrorists. But the Olympics provide a tempting terrorist platform.
The $1.5 billion Olympic security package includes about 70,000 personnel and a massive array of
surveillance equipment, including undersea sensors, street cameras and a sensor-laden blimp. NATO also is providing sea patrols and AWACS surveillance planes.
Atop a hill just yards from the Hellenikon Sports Complex where athletes will play softball, baseball and field hockey. Patriot missile launchers are positioned to thwart a potential air attack, with 'the big, black launching tubes pointed at a 45-degree angle. A similar battery squats next to the Olympic Village.
"This is the safest place on the planet," said Martina Navratilova, who, despite her three decades on the pro tour, is making her Olympic debut on the U.S. tennis team.
"It makes you realize the world isn't entirely safe," said former U.S. softball star Dr. Dot Richardson, working the games as a commentator for NBC. "As Americans, sometimes we take our safety at home for granted, but over here you realize that there are people at war."

Adversity inspires athletes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS, Greece — A swimmer sat idle for months because U.S. soldiers took over the pool where he trained.
A judo player practiced in a small room because she couldn't go out in public without a veil. A runner jogged on the sand because the streets were too dangerous.
The road to Athens is tough for any athlete, but for some it is lined with land mines.
For those representing wartorn countries, training can mean risking bombs and bullets to reach the stadium, and making do without the barest essentials of equipment and coaching.
Some even dare to dream of a medal.
But many say the adversity they face has strengthened their resolve to push themselves to the limit.
"All people who live a hard life can do good things," said Palestinian swimmer Raad Aweisat, 17. "People who have everything just go to sleep. You must make yourself by yourself."
Many athletes have followed that philosophy.
Friba Razayee, 18, described herself as "the only girl in all of Afghanistan who loves boxing," but since she didn't have a coach she tried her hand at judo.
One year later, she is an Olympian.
Razayege grew up under the Taliban regime, which beat women who didn't wear the all-enveloping burqa in public and didn't let girls go to school.
Things are better now,but Razayee said she still can't do any aerobic training.
"Still it is not allowed for women to run on the streets," she said. "Running is important for any sport, but people would bother me."
"People who have everything just go

with a foreign coach and, in a shocker, with male judoists. She tries to ignore her neighbors' disapproval.
Now that she plans to carry the Afghan flag at Friday's opening ceremony, she said things are changing.
"My family says, 'You're doing a good thing. Don't worry about what people say,'" she said.
"People in Afghanistan are very proud of me now." Razayee said. "I hope I can be an example for them so women can play sports in Afghanistan."
Swimmer Mohammed Abbas, 26, had a different problem with his training regimen.
He had to spend a month cowering in his house while bombs rained down on Baghdad, and when the war ended U.S. troops commandeered the pool where he trains for soldiers' R&R in the hot Iraqi summer.
Abbas said the troops eventually pulled out and workers began to repair the looted swimming facility, which they renamed Freedom Pool.
He resumed his training and made it to Athens, flying out of Iraq aboard an Australian air force jet because the roads are still too dangerous.
Abbas has no illusions about his chances to medal, but said things might be different if he had had a couple of years with the right facilities.
"If you look at the American swimmers, they are very good," he said. "Maybe I need two years training there to compete."
by the sight of Sanaa Abu Bkeet running down the street in shorts threw stones at her, and Israeli security measures made it impossible for her to get to a proper track, so she trained barefoot on a sand path.
The 19-year-old came to Athens to run in the 800-meter event, but said she has spent most of her time getting used to running in spikes and on asphalt.
Gaza Strip residents horrified
"I know of other athletes who trained for four years for the Olympics. I trained only one month," she said. "It was so difficult to run on the sand. It is very soft and your feet can sink down. It is difficult to change from sand to the track."
Nonetheless, the athletes say adversity breeds strength. Iraqi judoist Haidar Ali Lazem, 29, is counting on it.
He was invited to train in Japan for two weeks before coming to Athens, and said he was shocked to find that judo mats have springs in them.
"At home I use an old gym without air conditioning and without enough equipment," he said. "At the same time, I pushed myself to train because of the Olympic Games. I will do my best, and when you see the match you can decide.
"I want to prove that Iraq is back in shape," he said. "I think this is a good place to prove that."
Aweisat, the Palestinian swimmer, trained in a backyard pool that was unheated and covered with a tin roof to prevent the Israelis from spotting it.
"If you want to know why I'm doing this, it's because I love my country," he said. "I know I won't medal. I just need to participate well."
But that doesn't stop him from dreaming about the future — specifically, the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
"In China, I will take the gold medal," he said. "I promise you."

The two Greek Olympic sprinters were hospitalized Friday with injuries from a motorcycle wreck hours before a hearing on whether they intentionally dodged drug testers.
Greek star may drop out
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS, Greece — Greece's biggest star might drop out of the Athens Games after missing a drug test, shaming the host nation as it opened its first Olympics in more than a century.
Greece's Olympic Committee will meet Saturday to discuss the bizarre case of spinner Kostas Kenteris, the 200-meter Olympic champion who is accused of dodging a drug test and was later hospitalized after a motorcycle crash.
A source within the committee, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that one topic at the meeting will be whether Kenteris should withdraw from the games.
tee probably will proceed with its doping case against him. A hearing was set for Monday.
Kenteris and fellow Greek spinner Katerina Thanou were in a motorcycle wreck Thursday night just hours after drug testers failed to find them in the Olympic village.
Kenteris and Thanou, the 100-meter silver medalist in Sydney, are due to remain in KAT hospital over the weekend, so the IOC delayed a Friday hearing in their case. They were in stable condition with cuts and bruises.
Even if he drops out, the International Olympic Commit-
Christos Tekson, the sprinters' coach, said it was not clear whether they will be healthy enough to compete at the games.
The track competition begins Aug. 20.
IOC president Jacques Rogge insisted the Olympics will not
"The games are much stronger than individuals," he said. "We have had widely publicized doping cases before, they have not damaged the image of the games."
be tarnished by the scandal
Rogge said the IOC's medical director, Patrick Schamash, went to the hospital near the main stadium complex Friday to give the sprinters a written summons to attend the disciplinary hearing.
The athletes did not appear. Greek Olympic team leader Yiannis Papadoyiannakis attended on their behalf and asked for the postponement.
The news dominated Athens headlines and overshadowed TV coverage of the Olympic flame relay as it headed for the opening ceremony, where Kenteris had been expected to light the cauldron.

Denver Broncos tight end O.J. Santiago fights for position with rookie linebacker D.J. Williams, left, from Miami during the morning training camp practice at Broncos headquarters in Denver on Friday.
Chamberlain seeks starting role
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Byron Chamberlain knows he will never make people forget Shannon Sharpe.
All he wants to do is be the replacement for the greatest tight end in Broncos history.
"Those are big shoes to fill." Chamberlain said Thursday. "My strong point is catching the ball, something I've done my whole career and something I'm comfortable with now."
Chamberlain, who returned to the Broncos after spending two seasons with Minnesota and last
year with Washington, credits Sharpe with helping his development.
"Shannon is one of the greats and when he was here I was definitely a sponge," Chamberlain said. "He taught me how to run pass routes and run them differently based on who was covering you."
Chamberlain added the lessons Sharpe taught him to an existing ledger that included quick moves and precise cuts.
The combination helped him to catch 57 passes and three touchdowns in 2001 and earn a
trip to the Pro Bowl.
"Byron has always been a gamer that would make a big play at the right time," coach Mike Shanahan said. "The only problem has been Byron has had a problem controlling his weight."
That problem surfaced in 1997 when he was inoved from wide receiver to tight end.
Chamberlain's weight ballooned to over 280 pounds and drew Shanahan's wrath.
Shanahan had Chamberlain running laps during the entire practice period as punishment.
sweets and got my weight up to 268 last year," Chamberlain said. "I realized the weight cost me my speed and quickness, and when I lost the weight it brought a lot of my speed and quickness back."
"I liked to eat doughnuts and
Chamberlain showed off his new, hard-earned speed by running away from defenders and getting to seemingly overthrown balls.
"That's why I made a point to come into camp in the best shape that I've ever been in," Chamberlain said. "Just to give me a chance to win the starting job."
Though 'doing fine,' Rams lose to Bears in preseason opener
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — So far, the St. Louis Rams are doing just fine without their two bookend offensive tackles.
Grant Williams stepped in for Pace, as he has done in the past. Scott Tercero, a sixth-round pick last year who missed the entire season with a knee injury sustained early in training camp, was solid at Turley's right tackle spot.
Andy McCollum, who has moved from guard to center while center Dave Wohlabaugh recovers from hip surgery,has played more center anyway.
It would have been logical for quarterback Marc Bulger to have concerns for his safety before the preseason opener, considering Orlando Pace is in a contract holdout again and Kyle Turley hasn't practiced since reinjuring his surgically-repaired back early in training camp.
And Andy King, who has minimal NFL experience and played in only one game last year, was solid at McCollum's left guard spot.
But Bulger was hit only twice in the first quarter on a 13-10 overtime loss to the Chicago Bears on August 12, when the first-stringers were on the field. So the concerns about the makeshift alignment vanished.
"They did a fantastic job," Bulger said. "I didn't have too many pressures, and the one sack was a hot route."
"They came through fine," said coach Mike Martz, who singled out Tercero for praise. "I really watched the offensive line in the first half as much as I could. The protection held up well."
It would have been logical for quarterback Marc Bulger to have concerns for his safety before the preseason opener, considering Orlando Pace is in a contract holdout again and Kyle Turley hasn't practiced since reinjuring his surgically-repaired back early in training camp.
"I was a little sore, but we don't have a lot of numbers," Timmerman said. "I took a few days off and it's feeling pretty good.
Right guard Adam Timmerman helped hold things together with a quick recovery from a nerve injury to his neck and back. A cortisone shot the day before the game helped matters.
"Hopefully, it all kicks in."
Help is definitely on the way, too.
It's just a matter of time before Pace, designated as the franchise player for the second straight year, agrees to a one-year tender offer and joins the team.
Team doctors are hopeful that Turley will be back also after he visited two specialists since leaving camp. Turley roamed the sideline in street clothes at the preseason opener, although he didn't stick around afterward.
"I didn't get any details from him," McCollum said. "I think he wanted to escape before you guys [the media] grabbed him."

NFLteams prepare for season
The Associated Press
Clinton Portis didn't remain the NFL's richest running back for long. He's about to be overtaken by San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson.
Tomlinson said after Thursday's practice had agreed in principle to a deal
that would eclipse the eight-year, $50.5 million contract signed by the Redskins' Portis in the offseason.
Asked if his deal will be worth more than that given Portis, Tomlinson said, "Absolutely. I don't think it will even be close."
In his three years in the NFL, he's rushed for 4,564 yards and 37 touchdowns. Tomlinson, the fifth player in NFL history to rush for more than 200 yards in four games, last year became the first to rush for 1,000 yards and catch 100 passes.
But he has not turned the Chargers into winners. Still, Tomlinson said he's never considered playing out his current deal or leaving the Chargers, who haven't a winning record or made the playoffs since 1995.
“In my opinion, that is what losers do,” he said. “They bail out on a team. [They say], ‘So this team is not winning, it’s not going anywhere. I got to get out of here.’”
"I've never been that way, so why change now?"
Giants
Jeremy Shockey is back on the field, although he's not doing nearly as much as he'd like.
The Pro Bowltight end felt soreness Thursday, one day after he practiced with
GIANTS
the New York Giants for the first time since having foot surgery in June. He's not thrilled about being kept under wraps.
"The hardest thing was they limited me," Shockey said. "They only told me to go one rep every
period, so I got cold. That was more dangerous because I was sitting there the whole time and you can pull a muscle like that."
Shockey sat out the Giants' preseason opener Friday night against Kansas City. The team is being cautious with its most dangerous offensive threat in light of Shockey having hurt his foot last season and aggravating it during a minicamp. He also had a toe problem as a rookie in 2002 and a knee injury ended his '03 season after nine games.
Shockey didn't like being portraved as injury prone.
"I don't care what people think of that." Shockey said. "If I were to get a career-ending injury this season, I'm happy about what I have already done. I don't care. I'll go full speed and whatever happens will happen."
Ravens
WB
Jamal Lewis' drug conspiracy trial was scheduled for Nov.1 by a federal court in
Atlanta. That date falls between the eighth and ninth weeks of the season, meaning if the trial goes on as scheduled, Lewis could miss several games. The Ravens are at Philadelphia on Oct. 31, and then host Cleveland in a night game the following Sunday.
Lewis and Angelo Jackson, a childhood friend, are charged with conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute cocaine and using a cell phone in violation of federal law.
Last season, Lewis became the fifth player in NFL history to rush for more than 2,000 yards.
Vikings
For the first time in two seasons, the Vikings won't be able to rely on Kenny Mixon.
a two-game suspension to the veteran who led Minnesota's defensive linemen in tackles last season. Even though he's preparing to start Saturday's preseason game against Arizona, Mixon — barring a successful appeal — won't play in the regular season until Sept. 26 against Chicago.
After a drunken driving conviction earlier this year, the NFL handed down
"The appeal is still pending," Mixon said Thursday. "I haven't heard anything yet, but that's something I've come to grips with, you know."
"It if doesn't go in my favor, I intend to come here and work hard every day as if I was playing the first game. If I have to sit out, I'll have to go ahead and do that and come back and get ready to play that third game of the season."
The Vikings open at home Sept. 12 against Dallas.
Cornerback Samari Rolle sat out practice with a sore right ankle and could miss the Titans' exhibition opener Saturday against Cleveland.

Rolle was given a break from practice Wednesday to rest his legs, but he had

"We're going to rest him tomorrow and see how he is for the warmups. If he's feeling good, comfortable, we'll let him play," Fisher said.

"We're not expecting him to catch the ball right now," coach Mike Shanahan said. "In fact, we don't even care if he uses the other hand."
Cardinals
Former Minnesota coach Dennis Green knows plenty about what kind of noise his Arizona Cardinals had to deal with Saturday in its preseason opener at the Metrodome
To get the Cardinals ready for the din, Green had them
FASTBREAK
practice Thursday with loudspeakers blaring rock and dance music on the sideline.
"That is a fabulous crowd they've got there," Green said. "I would say, probably along with St. Louis, they're probably one of the loudest crowds in the National Football League."
As the offense and defense tried to communicate at the line of scrimmage, a cart loaded with a generator and a stereo system with two large speakers blared the music. Players tried to find ways to call out plays and coverages above the din.
"You don't try to yell over the noise — you cannot," Green said. "[They] create an atmosphere that makes it difficult for you to function. So the noise, it doesn't necessarily keep you from hearing, but it keeps you from communicating. You use a lot more hand signals, you look each other in the eyes when you're talking. You do some lip reading."

Hard work not enough for Florida coach
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — With his fate entangled among the accomplishments of the past and the promise of the future, Ron Zook stays faithful to one promise he made when he got his job: No coach in America will work harder than him.
But hard work may not be enough.
Bill Callahan of Nebraska and Tyrone Willingham of Notre Dame are also coaches stuck in conundrums. They're trying to lead struggling, high-profile programs back to a level their fans got used to under more successful coaches, but they're forced to do it on a much more level playing field than their predecessors had.
Entering his third year as coach at Florida, Zook has gone 8-5 in each of the last two seasons. During that time, there have been wild swings of success and failure, the term "firenzoook.com" has become a familiar college sports catchphrase and there has been a general sense that not all is well. He has company.
"It's a challenge that gets me going every day," said Callahan, who replaced Frank Solich after his five-year stint as Tom Osborne's successor.
Of the three coaches, Callahan may have the most unique challenge. He takes over for Solich, who went 49-16 with the Cornhuskers but couldn't get his fans or his athletic director to shake the feeling that Nebraska was losing ground.
"If you're afraid to play for the championship, that's a tough way to go through life," athletic director Steve Pederson said when he hired Callahan. "We're going to continue to strive to be at the top of college football. At Nebraska, that's the way it should be."
Indeed, while Solich led Nebraska to the Alamo and Independence Bowls in two of his last three seasons, Oklahoma won a national title and two Big 12 championships after Bob Stoops
came aboard in 1999.
One reason for the Sooners' success was Stoops' willingness to change the offense and make Oklahoma multidimensional instead of run-oriented.
Callahan, whose expertise is in the West Coast Offense, is being asked to do the same thing. Any college football fan knows throwing the ball around the field at Nebraska is about as familiar as a heat wave there in January.
"You almost think that the world is coming to an end when you see that," Willingham said of the new approach at Nebraska.
A record crowd of 61,417 attended Nebraska's spring football game, a sign of the unwavering devotion to football, but possibly also a warning of how seriously they take it.
"I don't feel pressure," Callah insisted. "Getting the program back to the position it has been at historically is an awesome responsibility, one I look forward to."
Zook's challenge wasn't so much to get the program back to where it had been as much as to keep it where it was.
Over 12 seasons preceding Zook, Steve Spurrier turned the Gators into one of the most successful, exciting programs in the country, and when he left, they were ranked third in the final Associated Press poll.
Since Zook took over, hearts have continued to race around Gainesville, but not for all the right reasons.
Zook's first two seasons have almost been a primer on mistakes that first-time head coaches can make as they feel their way into a leadership position. Zook has been guilty of public-relations gaffes, bad calls on the sidelines and running an offense many people feel is unsuited to the talent.
All that aside, he has also notched some huge wins — twice against Georgia, and a big win at LSU last year that saved his season — and has brought in some of the best recruiting classes in the country.

Cardinals hope injured wide receivers heal for season
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin, last season's offensive rookie of the year, had arthroscopic surgery Wednesday after tests found torn cartilage in his right knee.
Coach Dennis Green called the injury "a slight tear" and said Boldin should be able to return within weeks, suggesting he would be ready for the regular-season opener at St. Louis on Sept. 12.
L“
"T he damage was worse than anyone realized."
The Cardinals start their exhibition schedule Saturday at Minnesota.

"very relieved," Green said. "I think Anquian is one of the top receivers in the game.He was a Pro Bowl player last year and a

great competitor. Just not having him out here yesterday and today has made a difference in our football team, but we'll be happy when he gets back and we don't anticipate that being very far away."
Another wide receiver, Bryant Johnson, had a boot removed which he wore for more than a month to protect the stress fracture in his right foot. Last year's first-round draft pick planned to return soon.
"As big a competitor as Anquan is, it's frustrating to him," quarterback Josh McCown said. "But he's ready to figure out what he needs to do to get back right and get going, so we'll be fine."
Boldin's knee was sore Monday and he sat out the morning practice.
On Tuesday, he was warming up for practice when his knee locked up. Boldin, whose 101 catches last year set an NFL rookie record, was carted from the field.
Left tackle Tarik Glenn returned to the practice field Wednesday after missing more than a week of workouts because he was overweight.
Colts
Aug. 2. Glenn, listed at 6-foot-5,
332 pounds, has been quarterback Peyton Manning's trusted security blanket on the blind side.
Coach Tony Dungy has said Glenn's weight limit had been agreed upon with trainers as a precaution for the long, hot days of training camp.
Glenn, a starter for six seasons,
had missed nine workouts since
Glenn was the Colts' first round pick in 1997 and had a streak of 101 consecutive starts that ended last season when he missed six games with a sprained left knee.
Dungy, however, has not publicly said how much Glenn weighed and the tackle has declined to comment.
Defensive end Raheem Brock also returned to practice, his first appearance as he continues to recover from offseason ankle surgery. Bengals
Chris Perry practiced Wednesday, a day after signing a five-year, $7 million contract to end an 11-day holdout.
But the running back from Michigan, the team's first-round draft pick, was told by coach Marvin Lewis he won't play Saturday night in the Bengals' preseason opener at Tampa Bay.
Following the morning workout, Perry ran eight "gassers", sprints from one sideline to the other, to help with his conditioning. He was the only player running them.
Lions
Linebacker Boss Bailey will miss much of the season while recovering from knee surgery.
Bailey injured his right knee in an Aug. 3 practice.
He underwent arthroscopic surgery Wednesday in Athens, Ga., where doctors discovered torn cartilage that had not shown up in previous tests.
"The damage was worse than anyone had realized from the tests," Lions coach Steve Mariucci said. "The doctor immediately repaired it, but Boss will be off the knee for several weeks, and then will be looking at a rehab period on top of that."
Mariucci declined to put a timetable on Bailey's return, but said the Lions hope to have him back this season.
As a rookie in 2003, Bailey won a starting job at outside line-backer and was among the team's leaders in defensive snaps played.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Joe Theismann was at Los Angeles International Airport when he learned he made the College Football Hall of Fame. Former Notre Dame sports information director Roger Valdiserri told him the news.
"All of a sudden, tears started running down my face," Theismann said. "I don't know why. I had never really thought about it, never really anticipated it. I never envisioned myself being enshrined in it."
Tneissmann, former Washington Redskins teammate Darrell Green, a defensive back from Texas A&M, former Oklahoma State tailback Barry Sanders and 19 others will be enshrined Saturday.

share the memories. Nobody else in this ensrinement class can bring their families and friends this weekend to where they played."
Joe Theismann College Football Hall of Famer
ment banquet in South Bend.
"Never, ever in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would be a part of that," Theismann said.
Theissmann arrived at Notre Dame in 1967 as a 5-foot-10, 147-pound freshman. He said coaches joked about him being the next water boy. But he quickly made believers out of the coaching staff, leading the Irish to a 20-3-2 record as a starter.
Theismann had quick feet, a strong arm, great vision and a strong understanding of the game, said Tom Pagna, Theismmann's position coach at Notre Dame.
"For a little, skinny kid, he had a tremendous, whiplike arm and a lot of confidence in himself — to the point some might call him cocky." Pagna said. "But when you're coaching him and he's playing for you it isn't, it's confidence."
Theismann is the eighth Notre Dame quarterback enshrined into the hall, joining former Heisman Trophy winners Angelo Bertelli, John Lujack and Paul Hornung. Theismann was the runner-up for the Heisman in 1970, finishing behind Stanford's Jim Plunkett.
Theismann is fifth on Notre Dame's career passing list, throwing for 4,411 yards. He also led Notre Dame to just its second bowl game — its first in 45 years No.1 Texas
is a loss.
—and a victory over No. 1 Texas in the 1971 Cotton Bowl. But the game he remembers most vividly
Playing at Southern California in 1970, he was 33-of-58 passing for 526 yards in a 38-28 loss in heavy rain. The 33 completions and 526 yards passing are still school records.
"I always felt that playing USC was my barometer of excellence," Theismann said. "To be able to perform like that against USC in those conditions — the whole second half was in a torrential downpour — that's the one where people come up to me and say, 'I remember that day.'"
"It will be great to go back and be able to share the memories," Theismann said. "Nobody else in this enshrinement class can bring their families and friends this weekend to where they played. I have that opportunity. This is where it all happened for me. It's great."
Theismann said making the Hall of Fame was even more special because it happened in South Bend. He brought his in-laws and his parents, who hadn't been back to Notre Dame in 30 years.
U.S. Women's soccer team outplays Brazil
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THESSALONIKI, Greece — Run ragged and thoroughly outplayed for most of the game, the U.S. women's soccer team escaped with a victory that set off a few warning bells in its quest for the gold.
A fortuitous foul set up Mia Hamm's penalty kick in the 58th minute, and Abby Wambach scored on a thrilling run in the 77th Saturday to give the United States a 2-0 victory over Brazil on a day when most of the speed, energy and creativity belonged to the Brazililians.
The victory secures a U.S. berth in the quarterfinals, although that's hardly an achievement given that eight of the 10 in the Olympic tournament will advance. The Americans can clinch their group — and the high seeding that goes along with it — with a win or a tie against Australia in their final first-round match Tuesday.
However, Wambach, who has
scored an incredible 16 goals in 17 games, won't be allowed to play against the Aussies.
Wambach received a yellow card for a foul on Elaine in the 49th minute, giving the U.S. forward two yellow cards in the first round and triggering an automatic one-game suspension.
Brazil, meanwhile, was left to rue the fact that it couldn't finish its numerous scoring chances throughout the first two-thirds of the game. Dynamic stars Marta and Rosana left the Americans flat-footed, stealing the ball from defenders seemingly at will and moving effortlessly toward the net.
The goal energized the Americans, who played on par with the Brazilians for the rest of the match.
The Americans lead the alltime series against Brazil 17-1-2, with the only loss coming in Brazil seven years ago. The U.S. team routed Brazil 5-1 in Birmingham, Ala., in April, when both teams fielded many of their Olympic starters.

Kansas Speedway looking to expand
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas Speedway wants to expand in time for its fifth season in 2005, track president Jeff Boerger said Wednesday.
Boerger said officials were looking at adding 1,500 to 3,000 seats and would send a formal proposal later this month to the track's parent company, International Speedway Corp. of Daytona, Fla.
"We've been sold out since February this year and the last I heard, our wait list is up this year over last year."
Jeff Boerger Kansas Speedway president
ISC is controlled by the family of NASCAR owner Bill France.
us board of directors includes former Kansas Gov. Bill Graves, who was in office when the track was built and
supported its construction.
If Kansas Speedway's request receives preliminary approval, Boerger said, the company's board would likely vote on the proposal in September.
"I'm sure we can accommodate the amount of seats we're going to be requesting, with our waiting list and with the demand we have," he said. "Obviously, we're going to be very conservative in seat expansion. We want to make sure supply doesn't outrun demand."
If approved, it would be the second expansion at the speedway in Kansas City, Kan., since it opened in 2001.
A 1,500-seat expansion in 2003 brought the track's listed capacity to 80,187.
"We're very optimistic," Boerger said. "We're comfortable with our demand, and I think ISC will be comfortable with it too."
The track sells its two biggest racing weekends — the Indy Racing League and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series events in July and NASCAR's Nextel Cup and Busch Series races in October — as a package.
Each of the first four seasons have been sellouts, and the track has a waiting list for tickets for 2005.
"We've been sold out since February this year," Boerger said, "and the last I heard, our wait list is up this year over last year."
The track does not release precise waiting list numbers, but spokeswoman Sammie Lukaskiewicz called the figure "healthy."
The list is likely to grow, she said, as the Nextel Cup date draws closer.
"This season, there seems to be an increased awareness of the Nextel Cup," she said. "There's more awareness of the chase for the Nextel Cup."
NASCAR revised its scoring format this year, making only the drivers in the top 10 with 10 races to go eligible for the championship.
The Banquet 400, set for Oct. 10 at Kansas Speedway, is part of that 10-race shootout.

Missouri quarterback key to Tigers'
Heading into his junior year, Brad Smith is on almost everyone's list of Heisman Trophy contenders.
That's a reflection on the quarterback's role in Missouri's rise to prominence. Coach Gary Pinkel won three games in his first season, then four and finally went 8-5 last year to produce the Tigers' first bowl game since 1998.
Now, Missouri and its elusive leader are attracting some national attention.
"I've talked to Brad, and I've told him that he has to do two things: Stay in the race and play at a high level every week," Pinkel said. "I don't think there are many distractions because of promotion.
"We are very team-oriented
and Brad is a mature person."
Smith missed by 23 yards becoming the first player in NCAA history to pass for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 in a season. He set the school career yardage record in the Tigers' Independence Bowl loss to Arkansas.
"I'm very happy and proud to have all of these honors and some of the attention," Smith said. "But at the same time, you still have to play the game. One player can't win a football game, you have to be great as a team."
Under Smith's guidance, Missouri had a milestone season. The highlights were the first victory in 25 years over Nebraska. That also was their first victory over a Top 10 team in 46 games dating to 1981.
They also had a blowout victory over Texas Tech, also a bowls
team. And the Tigers showed resilience after an upset loss at Kansas that spoiled a 4-0 start, finishing with eight regular-season victories for the first time in 23 years.
They were a perfect 6-0 at home, a school record, and committed only 13 turnovers, the fewest in the nation.
Now, theyll try to build on that momentum. Pinkel is aiming high.
"From day one we put up what we called pyramid objectives; winning games, then winning a conference championship." Pinkel said. "At the top is the national championship. That's the goal of this program — to build a national program that year in and year out will play at a high level."
The schedule is favorable for another fast start. The first three
games are against Arkansas State, Troy State and Ball State, the preludes to the Big 12 opener Oct. 2 at home against Colorado.
Two key games on the schedule are on the road, Oct. 16 at Texas and Oct. 30 at Nebraska. But the Tigers get Kansas State at home on Nov. 6.
The biggest failing last year was a 2-4 regular-season record on the road. Pinkel hopes to solve it with a simple formula: hard work.
"It's all preparation," Pinkel said. "That's all it is, maintaining a high level of play and a high level of focus.
"That will allow you to give your best no matter what the location."
The biggest question likely is the offensive line after the departure of center A.J. Ricker and tackle Rob Droge. But Pinkel has three returning players who
started at least three games last year.
"So there is some experience there." Pinkel said. "They are at critical positions for us and will need to mature in two-a-days. I think we'll be OK."
Smith isn't the only offensive threat on a team that led the Big 12 in rushing last year. Damien Nash, the backup to the graduated Zack Abron last year, and Marcus Woods, a redshirt freshman, are both speedy, elusive runners.

Missouri made big strides on defense last year and nine starters are back.

Baseball business back; crowd grows
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Ten years ago, professional baseball players packed up the bats and balls and went home for the winter, wiping out the World Series and alienating millions.
This season is the first in which attendance has approached prestrike levels.
It was Aug. 11, 1994, when Seattle's Randy Johnson struck out Oakland's Ernie Young and baseball players walked off for what turned into the longest work stoppage in the history of major North American professional sports leagues, a 7 1/2-month marathon of acrimony that wandered through hotel meeting rooms, the federal courts and even the White House.
The strike canceled the World Series for the first time in 90 years, cost players millions of dollars and management about $1 billion. Games didn't resume until the following April 25, 3 1/2 weeks after an injunction was issued restoring the rules of the expired labor contract.
"It was tough. There was a lot
Matt Williams' opportunity to break Roger Maris' home run record ended the night of the strike — he had 43, and he never had another chance to approach the mark. For Bob Welch, Lloyd McClendon, and Kevin McReynolds and 16 others, the night of the strike marked the final games of their big league careers.
of anger everywhere, particularly amongst our fans," baseball commissioner Bud Selig recalled last week. "It was the eighth work stoppage, so it had been building up for a long time. The sport came to a crashing halt."
Operating revenue was cut from $1.87 billion in 1993 to $1.2 billion in 1994 and didn't reach its former mark until 1997. The endless public bickering between the union and management became a huge turnoff, and instead sports fans tuned in to Michael Jordan and the NBA, NASCAR and the new cable channels that created a seemingly endless supply of sports alternatives on television.
Attendance plunged 20 percent the following year, from a record average of 31,612 in 1994 to 25,260.
When the sides finally agreed to a new labor contract — it didn't happen until March 1997 — it brought about revolutionary change in the sport's economics, ushering in revenue sharing among the 30 teams and a luxury tax designed to slow payroll growth of the high-revenue teams.
"It was an important agreement because it stabilized the industry and removed some of the ideological issues from the table, which allowed the next agreement to focus on the economics and led to a much more cooperative relationship between the players' association and the clubs," said Randy
It was tough. There was a lot of anger everywhere, particularly amongst our fans. It was the eighth work stoppage, so it had been building up for a long time. The sport came to a crashing halt."
Bud Selig Baseball commissioner
Levine, who negotiated the deal for baseball management, then became president of the New York Yankees.
In a sign that perhaps the sides have grown up, they agreed to a labor contract in 2002 without a work stoppage — the first time that happened since 1970. Following five strikes and three lockouts, the sides struck a deal about 3 1/2 hours before the walkout was scheduled to start, one that included the first agreement for random drug testing.
Since then, baseball has boomed, with Selig citing that deal as igniting increased competition among the clubs. Baseball's 2004 revenue is projected at between $4.1 billion and $4.2 billion by the commissioner's office. The New York Yankees will become the first team to top $300 million.
Players and owners jointly sponsor international play in Japan, Mexico and Puerto Rico, and they are working together trying to launch a World Cup for March 2006. When there are disputes, they seldom sink to public name-calling. Even the union's investigation of whether to file a grievance over possible management collusion in free-agent negotiations has remained low-key.
"If we try to figure out things together as opposed to taking sides, it's more efficient," said Yankees pitcher Mike Mussina, a member of the union's executive board. "I think the experience of 10 years ago showed both sides that the game is too important to too many people, and we need to find better ways to accomplish things. I think we've done that, to some extent."
Selig and Fehr said that adapting to the quickly evolving changes in technology and broadcasting were the priorities for baseball's leadership. Baseball owners are set to give approval next week to the World Cup and an all-baseball TV network, which follows similar ventures established by the NFL and NBA.
Memories of the years of fighting have faded. Just 143 players currently on major league rosters played in 1994, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
"The sport is riding a high now," Selig said. "I hope we've all learned our lesson."
Giants defeat Chiefs in Manning debut
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.—The much-anticipated debut of Eli Manning was upstaged by another once highly regarded New York Giants first-round draft pick and a budding television star.
Ron Dayne showed flashes of his Heisman Trophy days, scoring on runs of 29 and 67 yards, and Jesse Palmer threw a game-winning 11-yard touchdown pass with 6:32 to play, rallying the Giants to a 34-24 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday night.
"It felt good to get out and be able to run and score a touchdown," said Dayne, who gained 118 yards on 11 carries in his first action since last preseason.
The victory in Tom Coughlin's preseason debut as coach wasn't pretty.
Trent Green and the Chiefs gained 311 first-half yards and scored on four of five possessions in shredding the Giants' rebuilding defense. If they'd stayed in, the game would not have been close.
Manning, the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft by San Diego and then traded to the Giants, played about two quarters with mostly a backup crew. He was 7-of-13 for 91 yards after getting a big ovation when he took over from Kurt Warner (3-of-7 for 49 yards) in the second quarter.
"I liked the way we hung in there," said Coughlin. "We were in a blitzkrieg in the first half and we wung in there."
"I thought it was a decent first outing," said Manning, who didn't turn over the ball and who had no problem getting his plays off.
The big story for the Giants was the revival of Davne.
After gaining 5 yards on three carries, he woke up the Giants by bouncing off linebacker Shawn Barber on a third-and-short and going untouched for a 29-yard TD to cut the Chiefs' lead to 14-7.
The next time Dayne touched the ball, he took a handoff from Manning and went 67 yards for a score. Chris Douglas ited with a 26-yard TD run with 1.54 to play.
Green threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Kris Wilson and Larry Johnson scored on a 3-yard run to give the Chiefs a 14-10 lead. Omar Easy scored on a 1-yard run
and Lawrence Tynes had a 27-yard field goal for Kansas City, which was penalized 19 times for 160 yards.
"I expected them to be better than that," Chiefs coach Dick Vermell said.
Playing three series, Green was 7-for-11 for 111 yards in taking the Chiefs to a 14-0 lead.
After Tynes kicked a 27-yard to push the lead to 17-7, the fans got out of their seats to welcome Manning to Giants Stadium.
His first pass was dropped by Visanthe Shiancoe. The second play was more memorable.
Dayne took a handoff from Manning, followed guard Barry Stokes around the right end and went 67 yards for his second touchdown in as many plays.
Jayhawk football not favored
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It's a delicate position Mark Mangino's Kansas Jayhawks find themselves in.
Starting the third year of Mangino's patient program to bring a long-flagging program up to Big 12 standards, the Jayhawks might be improved in just about every area but the one that counts: winning.
They could be a better team but with a worse record than the 6-6 regular season mark of 2003 that led to the Tangerine Bowl, their first postseason bid since 1995.
Their schedule that year was ranked No. 92. But now the Big 12 has made its biannual rotation and replaced Baylor, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M on the schedule with Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech.
Not only that, but the Jayhawks' non-conference opposition goes from UNLV, Wyoming and Jacksonville State to Tulsa, Toledo and at Northwestern.
"We look at it as an opportunity to build, get recognized and win," said Banks Floodman, who could be one of the Big 12's top linebackers. "We're excited about the schedule. We're excited about the challenge."
KANSAN
everyday
Eight of the 11 foes won at least eight games last season. And Northwestern beat the Jayhawks in Lawrence.
"I hear about [the schedule] quite a bit," Mangino said. "I know we're playing some very good teams on the road. On any given day, we're capable of winning a big game in our conference.
Those are the 11 games we have. I'm not going to give any of them up right now."
The biggest personnel loss is quarterback Bill Whittimore, who passed for 2,285 yards and rushed for 534.
Adam Barmann, a 6-foot-4 sophomore who started three games for the injured Whittemore last year and showed great promise, takes over, but will be challenged by junior college transfer Jason Swanson.
Although neither quarterback is as nimble as Whittemore, Mangino plans no overhaul of his offensive approach.

Giant's Dayne scores twice against Chiefs
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — After breaking two long touchdown runs in his first game in a year, Ron Dayne was asked if his success was due to the differences in offensive systems from last year to this.
"No, it was because he was on the field," interjected Pat Hanlon, the Giants' vice president for communications.
Yes, Ron Dayne, the 1999 Heisman Trophy winner and the Giants' first pick in the 2000 draft, is still in the NFL, though you'd never know it after he was inactive for all 16 regular-season games last season, the result of a personality conflict with fired coach Jim Fassel.
Given a chance by new coach Tom Coughlin, Dayne had touchdown runs of 29 and 67 yards as New York rallied Friday night to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 34-24. He finished with 118 yards in 11 carries.
That overshadowed the New York debuts of quarterbacks Kurt Warner and Eli Manning and helped the Giants overcome a dismal defensive performance, especially by the starters.
In fact. this was classic Davne.
During the high points of his NFL career, primarily in his first two seasons, he broke some big runs but had all kinds of problems with the little ones, even when he weighed 255 pounds (he's listed at 234 now). The same thing happened Friday night: In addition to the two touchdown runs, Dayne ran for 14 yards on the first play of the third quarter, then could gain only two yards in three tries after the Giants had a second-and-three.
"I've never been someone who got yards on third-and-one and fourth-and-one," he said. "In college, I just didn't do that."
It has been the same with the Giants.
He would invariably be inserted for Tiki Barber in short-yardage situations, then tiptoe up to the line and get dumped, failing to move the pile. But given a crease, usually off tackle, he could burst through a hole for 10 and 15 yards, then pull tacklers for 10 or 20 more.
Dayne's first TD under Coughlin did come on a third-and-one when he broke a tackle by Shawn Barber, a former Redskin and Eagle who played against him
before, and broke into the open. On the second, he simply took a handoff from Manning on the second play of the first draft pick's career and burst into the open, easily outrunning the secondary.
So in the end, his night came down to three carries for 110 yards and eight more carries for 8 yards, the latter being what sketcives have come to refer to as "Ron Davine numbers."
Coughlin will take the former. And he might heed Dayne himself on the latter, in his fifth season in the NFL, Dayne seems to have proven that he is not a short-yardage runner.
"I was disappointed that he couldn't get the first down in those short-yardage situations, but I'm proud that he showed what he can do," the new coach said.
Dayne's doings caught the attention of the other side, which thought it reflected well on Coughlin.
"He really gashed us," Carl Peterson, the Chiefs' president and general manager, said of Dayne. "You have to give Tom credit. He's giving him his chance and he seems to be taking advantage of it."
Patriots 24, Eagles 6
Foxboro, Mass. — Two-time Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady was steady as ever. In his first game since the Patriots' second championship in three years, Brady went 3-for-4 for 31 yards and a touchdown. He left the exhibition opener after two series and 11 plays.
"You still want to go out and do good," Brady said. "You still want to go out and build confidence. It's all in preparation for the Colts game."
The Patriots open their regular season on Sept. 9 against Indianapolis, seeking their 16th consecutive win, including three in last year's playoffs. They've won eight straight exhibition games.
Philadelphia's new star receiver, Terrell Owens, caught three passes for 14 yards, causing fans to boo all three times. After each one, he walked calmly back to the huddle, showing none of the flamboyance that followed some catches with the 49ers, once autographing a football on the field after scoring a touchdown.
Corey Dillon, the Patriots' running back acquired from Cincinnati, had five runs for 23 yards.
Saints 23. Jets 13
New Orleans — J.T. O'Sullivan made the most of his second NFL appearance, completing 10 of 13 passes for 141 yards as the Saints' reserves beat the Jets' backups. O'Sullivan, who played for Division I-AA California-Davis and was the second-highest ranked quarterback in NFL Europe this spring, made his only other NFL appearance in a 2002 preseason game.
Saints quarterback Aaron Brooks was in street clothes on the sideline with a tender quadricens.
The Jets used regular QB Chad Pennington for one series. He ran 10 plays, went 3-for-5 for 20 yards, and got the jets close enough for a 22-yard field goal by Doug Brien and a 3-0 lead.
Coach Herman Edwards didn't want to risk his starting quarterback more than that.
A year ago, he lost Pennington in the third preseason game with a broken left wrist.
Pennington returned midway in the season, but the Jets missed the playoffs for the first time in three years.
Two Colorado football players off suspension; Coach says he overreacted with winter decision
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOULDER, Colo. — Two Colorado football players suspended this winter will be allowed to play in the season opener against Colorado State after all.
Colorado coach Gary Barnett on Tuesday rescinded the suspensions of linebacker Chris Hollis and offensive lineman Brian Daniels, saying he had "overreacted."
football program was being investigated for allegedly using sex and alcohol to lure recruits to the school.
They were among four players suspended in February, when the
At the time, Hollis had admitted taking a recruit to an 18-and-over strip club in Boulder but the school said there was no indication of underage drinking.
Few other details were released about the actions of the other players. Three of the players admitted breaking team rules and there was an alcohol violation, which was referred to the school's
Office of Judicial Affairs.
One of the players, cornerback Sammy Joseph, has transferred to Louisiana State. The case of the fourth player, offensive lineman Jack Tipton, is still being reviewed, Barnett said.
Hollis and Daniels appealed their suspensions to campus administrators. A committee heard their appeal and then asked Barnett to reconsider his decision, suggesting "the possibility of an educational alternative" for the players.
Hollis and Daniels said they were pleased with the decision.
"I had confidence they were going to correct it...You train eight months to play 11 games; you don't want to miss any of them," Daniels said.
In a statement on the cases of Hollis and Daniels, Barnett said he "reacted impulsively and unfairly by issuing one-game suspensions, one of the more severe sanctions for violating team rules."
Barnett said he "reacted impulsively and unfairly by issuing onegame suspensions, one of the more severe sanctions for violating team rules."
Gary Barnett Colorado head football coach
DENVER — Broncos cornerback Scott Turner might someday trade in his helmet and pads for a suit and tie, and start passing laws instead of knocking down passes.
"I started working with FEMA [Federal Emergency Management Agency] and the Small Business Administration to help the fire' victims with insurance claims," he said.
Turner, 32. an eight-year veteran, worked as an intern in the San Diego office of Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) in the offseason. Soon Hunter's staff had him in the field, meeting with the public and government officials.
He later worked with health officials and representatives of the Defense and Labor departments. He also went to Hunter's Washington office for a few days, meeting with the congressman and military officials and helping do research on legislation.
Hunter, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, had high praise for Turner.
"Scott imparts values to people," Hunter said. "I wouldn't hesitate to lend my support for Scott if he chose to run for the House of Representatives."
Turner, who is nursing a nagging left hamstring injury that has kept him out of practice for more than two weeks, has no plans to enter politics anytime soon.
"I could play a few more years," he said. "I'm going to play as long as I can."
But he hasn't ruled out a career in politics.
"I believe if that door opens, I can make a great impact," he said.

Terrorism changes climate of games
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
REDMOND. Wash. — The war on terrorism is transforming the complexion of the Olympic games in Athens with the rise of teams from Iraq and Afghanistan, President Bush says.
Afghanistan was suspended from the International Olympic Committee in 1999 due to the Taliban ban on participation of women athletes.
Saddam Hussein put his son
Odai in charge of Iraq's Olympic committee, a step that allegedly led to torture of athletes who did not do well. Iraq is the only Olympic committee in the world with its own prison, a former U.S. diplomat has said of Saddam's regime.
"For the first time in history, people everywhere will see women competitors wearing the uniform of Afghanistan," the president said Saturday in his weekly radio address.
"For the first time in decades, the world will see Iraqi Olympians free from the brutal punishment of the dictator's son," Bush added.
Twenty-nine athletes from Iraq are competing in Athens, including the Iraqi soccer team, which thrilled the world by winning its first game, the president noted.
The country whose team Iraq defeated is Portugal, which has sent 120 police officers to Iraq.

"By coming together in
In his campaign speeches around the country in recent weeks, Bush has said how gratifying it was to see Afghan girls participating in this summer's international children's games in Cleveland. He made the same point about Afghan women's participation in the Olympics.
ATHENS, Greece — Michael Phelps grabbed his head in disbelief, then thrust his left fist in the air.
Seven medals left for Olympic swimmer to overtake legend
The Associated Press
The first one's out of the way.
He's an Olympic champion — just like Mark Spitz.
Phelps began his quest to overtake Spitz' 1972 record haul of seven gold medals with a dominating performance in the 400-meter individual medley, breaking his own world record Saturday night and claiming the first U.S. gold medal of the Athens Games.
Ian Thorpe won his second straight gold in the 400 freestyle — a race he got into only through the generosity of a teammate — but Jenny Thompson was denied her record-tying ninth gold medal when she gave up the lead to Australia on the final leg of the 400 freestyle relay.
Still, it was a good night for the powerful American team, which began eight days in the Olympic pool with a 1-2 finish.
Phelps touched the wall in 4 minutes, 8.26 seconds, while teammate Erik Vendt was more than 3 1/2 seconds behind but good enough for silver at 4:11.81.
"I'm a little bit less nervous," said Phelps, 19, of Baltimore. "I've got one off my shoulders and can relax a little bit."
It was a rousing start to the much-anticipated Olympic meet, but Phelps is just getting warmed up.
He will likely swim in eight events, giving him a chance to break Spitz's record at the Munich Games.
So far, Phelps is following the script of the greatest swimmer in Olympic history.
All seven of Spitz's wins were in record time.
Thorpe almost missed the 400

free — his best event — when he inexplicably fell off the starting block at the Australian trials, earning an automatic disqualification. But he got in when teammate Craig Stevens gave up his spot.
Thorpe barely held off another countryman, Grant Hackett, to win in 3:43.10. American Klete Keller took bronze for the second straight Olympics.
"I didn't realize how much this event meant to me," said Thorpe, who fought back tears after touching the wall. "I am more excited now that it is off my shoulders."
Thompson, 31, had a chance for her ninth gold when she dove into the water for the anchor leg with a lead of nearly four-tenths of a second.
But the greatest relay swimmer in U.S. history couldn't hold it. Jodie Henry passed Thompson after they made the final turn nearly in unison, touching the wall in 3:35.94 to break the world record of 3:36.00 set by Germany two years ago.
The winning team included Alice Mills, Lisbeth Benton and Petria Thomas, but it was Henry who did the bulk of the work. She swam nearly a second faster than Thompson with a stunning time of 52.95 for the final 100.
Thompson swam her 100 in 53.77 — best of the American swimmers and enough to give the team a national record of 3:36.39. The Netherlands took bronze in 3:37.59.

Tunnels pique interest
Danger lies in structurally unsound underground system
B y Erik Johnson
ejohnson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Ryan Daume was taking his regular jog near the construction site of the Student Recreation Center late last summer when he noticed a door on the side of a small hill that didn't seem to be part of any building.
Curious, the Dallas senior quietly approached the door and, to his surprise, found it unlocked. He opened it revealing a long, dimly lit concrete hallway dripping with water.
"I knew it was one of the tunnels,"
What Daume found was an entrance to the University of Kansas' tunnel system. Nearly five miles of tunnels wind under campus, accessing almost every major building on campus, excluding those on Daisy Hill and West Campus.
he said. "I had heard a little about them, but was curious enough to want to find out for myself, so I started walking."
one Daume stumbled upon — are added when new buildings are erected.
"They're definitely not a safe place to be," said Vernon Haidl, "physical plant supervisor senior. "They get real hot, and it's a small, confined area that's easy to lost in."
The tunnels serve as housing for steam lines to heat water, condensate, electrical, telecommunications and water. Some sections of the tunnels are as old as campus itself, dating back to the late 1800s. New sections — like the
The original areas of the tunnel were mined into a layer of shale and constructed with a brick-arched roof. But by the mid-1960s, portions had been visibly deteriorated by water and age, and crews spend each summer fixing problem areas that are in danger of collapsing.
All sections of the tunnel are lined

Cox said steam lines that ran through the tunnels generated huge amounts of heat, and though unlikely anyone inside the tunnels if a line should break would be in serious trouble.

Problems delay new eatery
Terrace to open in September; convenience, food worth wait
By Erik Johnson ejohnson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Wescoe Terrace will have a drastic new look this fall. And though eateries won't be ready to open and renovations won't be completed until nearly a month after classes begin, project managers are confident that more convenience and better options will make any delays well worth the wait.
Renovations were originally scheduled to be finished by Aug. 7 so new stores could move in and be ready to open for the first day of class. But a series of minor delays have pushed that date back to sometime between Aug. 24 and 27.
Director of building services at the KU Memorial Unions Pat Beard said after construction was completed and the "little stuff," such as new tables, chairs and TVs, were installed, stores would have a few weeks to get ready for a mid-September grand opening.
"We're going to try our best to beat that date," Beard said. "But we'll see. Nothing's ever for sure."
Some early phases of the project were made difficult at first because of poor floor conditions, Beard said. Accessing sewer lines was difficult for construction crews as well because they were much lower in the ground than first expected. Minor changes in food service equipment and plumbing lines also caused delays.
"Other than the few hiccups we've had here, everything's been really smooth." Beard said.
A classier dining area will replace wobbling tables and rusting stools. Stand-up counters for students looking to grab a quick bite will replace cold-concrete benches.
The new Wescoe Terrace is being designed for a more comfortable all-around eating experience. Eateries like Chick-Fil-A, Pizza Hut and Quiznos will replace the sandwich counter and hot-dog stand of the old Wescoe.
Perhaps the biggest advantage the new terrace will have is a Hawk Shop and C-Store that will remain open after the food court closes. Students studying late at Anschutz Library or Budig Computer Lab will no longer have to trek across campus to the Kansas or Burge unions for a late-night snack or caffeine fix.
Steve Scannell, assistant director for the Design and Construction Management team, said students would find the short delay worth the wait because the much-needed improvements would serve students much better.
"When this is finished it will look a lot more like the Kansas Union than the old Wescoe food court," Scannell said. "People are going to be able to move in and out much easier than before so, best of all, no lines."

University encourages meningitis vaccination
By Julie Jones
jjones@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Between five and fifteen college students die each year in the United States from meningitis, according to the American College Health Association. Since 1991, the number of college students and young adults with meningitis has more than doubled.
College students living in group housing are particularly at risk for severe cases of meningitis, said Myra Strother, Chief of Staff at Watkins Health Center. Though the disease is rare and usually occurs in isolated cases, it can be fatal or cause serious, lifelong complications.
Smoking, attending bars and consuming alcohol increase the risk of meningitis. Those with immunity deficiencies are also at an increased risk.
After Andy Marso, St. Cloud, Minn., graduate, was hospitalized with bacterial meningitis in April, the University of Kansas made a bigger push to get information about the disease to all students living in group housing this year. Marso

was living in Pearson Scholarship Hall when he fell ill with the disease.
Informational brochures recommending the meningitis vaccine were sent to students with their housing contracts. The brochures were also given to Panhellenic associations, KU residence halls, scholarship halls and Naismith Hall.
The University recommends all students in group housing get vaccinated, Strother said. Students not in group housing should read about the disease, know the warning signs and seriously consider the vaccination.
The vaccine is 85 to 100 percent effective in preventing two-thirds of the most common bacterial meningitis types. Strother said the vaccine was relatively safe and lasted three to five years. Vaccinations cost $75, sometimes covered by insurance companies, and are available at Watkins Health Center.
"I don't want students to get a false sense of security about the vaccine," Strother said, pointing out that the type of bacterial meningitis Marso had was not covered by the vaccine.
Pharmaceutical companies are working on a new vaccine with longer lasting effects, but it probably won't cover more types of the disease. Strother said. The new vaccine should

Traditions reflect 'legacy of excellence' at University

Patrick House can remember growing up listening to his father talk about the many traditions at the University of Kansas. His father ran track as a student and loved his time at the University.
He couldn't believe his eyes as 16,000 fans joined arms to sing the alma mater and then in unison began the chant that seemed to echo all throughout Lawrence:
But the Leawood senior will never forget the first time he experienced the Rock Chalk Chant in person at Allen Fieldhouse.

have ever been a part of," House said. "You really feel a part of something larger during the chant."
Patrick House Leawood senior
It is one of the many traditions that every KU student has the opportunity to be a part of during their time in Lawrence.
Shanda Hurla, Hawk Week coordi
nator for the Office of New Student Orientation, said traditions had to be passed down to new generations for them to survive.
"Students are the ones that keep the wonderful traditions at KU going, not the administrators," Hurla said. "Without students passing them on to the next generation the various traditions might not last."
The legendary Rock Chalk Chant dates back to 1866. And with an old tradition comes varying stories of origin.
Most accounts agree that the Science Club decided it needed to adopt a cheer. After many suggestions were shot down, E.H.S. Bailey, a chemistry professor and the namesake of Bailey Hall, presented a chant that quickly became adopted by the entire

Classes are almost under way, the heat of the summer is giving way to the cool breeze and the University of Kansas fall season athletics are about to begin.
Fall sports, including football, volleyball, soccer and cross country, will begin the main part of their seasons in the coming weeks.
As the teams look forward to the start of a new year, it is hard not to look back at the many accomplishments of the past year.
The football team went to a bowl game for the first time since 1993. The volleyball team qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history and set the record for most conference victories in a season. The women's soccer team went to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen for the first time and earned the first ever national ranking in school history. The cross country队 had its best showing at the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships since coach Stanley Redwine took over in 2000.
With that in mind each team will embark on the new season with high expectations. Here is a look at each team.
Football
After its first bowl appearance in nearly a decade, the football team looks to build off the momentum created by last season's successes, but are faced with the fourth toughest schedule in the nation, according to www.espn.com writer Brad Edwards.
Senior center Joe Vaughn said he was ready to play whoever was on the schedule.
Kansan File Photo
"We know it's a tough schedule, but we're just looking forward to playing," Vaughn said. "We know we want to be the best, so we have to beat the best."
One major question facing the team going into the season will be the defense, which gave up more than 400 total yards per game last season.
Junior linebacker Banks Floodman said he was looking forward to the upcoming season and the chance to show everyone Kansas' improved defense.
"We're really focused on improvement on our entire defense, our linebackers getting

into gaps and our secondary doing their job." Floodman said. "We had a lot of missed tackles last season, and that was a big part of our problems. We are excited, it's definitely a challenge, but we're looking forward to the season."
ball coach Ray Bechard has put together another challenging schedule for the Jayhawks in 2004.
Highlighting the Jayhawks' non-conference schedule in 2004 are NCAA Tournament teams Arkansas and Wisconsin.
"We open with an NCAA team in Arkansas and will host Wisconsin, a top Big Ten Conference team, early in the season to get us ready for league play," Bechard said. "The Big 12 is sizing up to be all that it is expected to be and we look forward to making another run to post-season play in 2004."
Volleyball
After a program-best season in 2003, University of Kansas volley

One Jayhawk to watch this season will be Josi Lima, who continues making and breaking school records. Last season Lima became the first Jayhawk to be named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association All-Region Team and the first to receive Big 12 honors two years in a row. She received Big 12 Newcomer of the Year in 2002 and earned All-Big 12 honors in 2003.
Midfielder senior Amy Geha kicked the ball during a game last year. The team will be looking to improve upon last season's success.
2003 Central Region Coach of the Year Mark Francis, the University's women's soccer team is primed for the upcoming season.
The team, which was ranked 11th in SoccerBuzz's final 2003 poll, will be led by the school's alltime leading scorer sophomore forward Caroline Smith and the single season shutout record holder senior goalkeeper Meghan Miller.
"It will be hard to repeat the success we had last season, but we will be more talented than we were last season," Francis said.
After one of the best seasons in the program's history, coach Stanley Redwine said the cross country team looks to continue to become one of the best team's in the Big 12.
Cross Country
The men's team finished in fourth place; its best since 1994 when they finished third. The women's team came in fifth, which was its best finish since finishing placing first in 1994.
As the season approaches the men's side will be led by sophomore Benson Chesang, who finished 48th in last season's NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships. He was the second freshman to finish the race last season and also paced the Jayhawks' finish at Regions coming in second in the 10-kilometer race.
Soccer
The women's team has 14 returning athletes and will be led by four seniors, including Megan Manthe who finished 17th in last season's Regional competition.

Fall intramurals offer students a way to participate
By Erik Johnson
ejohnson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students at the University of Kansas looking to stay in shape during the school year or just compete amongst friends will find a multitude of intramural sports to choose from each season.
From basketball to nine-ball pool, ultimate Frisbee to wrestling, the University's intramural programs offer options for just about anyone.
"We're always doing our best to try to accommodate anyone who's interested in playing," said Kurt Schooley, assistant director for sports programs at the Student Recreation center. "Our overall goal is to allow all teams a chance to compete against each other and have some fun."
The University has a rich 84-year history of intramurals, and 26 different sports and tournament events make the University's intramurals program one of the most successful in the country.
Men's, women's and co-eed make up three divisions of play.
and many sports have a competitive level and recreational level during regular season play.
Kerri Hill, Liberal junior, and Erin Foley, Norton graduate student, played on championship co-ed teams for softball, basketball and flag football last year. Their women's volleyball team placed second after placing first the two years prior.
"The competition is usually really good," Hill said. "We try to train when were not playing, and you can always go out and scout other teams before you play them. That helps."
Foley has played on at least one intramural team since her freshman year, and said she enjoyed getting out and playing with her friends the most.
"We just love to go out and compete together," she said. "But like anyone else, we want to win."
Forming a team is free and only requires filling out a roster and attending manager meetings on days when entries open for seasonal sports.
Sign-up for fall sports is just around the corner. For more information on forming your own team visit www.ku.edu/~recserv or stop by the Student Recreation Center and pick up a roster form.

Involvement helps retention
Amanda O'Toole
aotoole@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas has an attrition rate of about 20 percent for full-time freshmen, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning.
Authorities on campus have different opinions on why students drop out or transfer, but several agree that University involvement is needed for student retention.
"That's how you find your place on campus," said Steve Munch, Bellevue, Neb., senior and student body president. "Don't be afraid to try things out. Some of my best experiences have come from extra-curricular things."
Munch said that organizations were a good way to get to know people.
"You meet different groups of
people — some of the people you don't have anything in common with end up being your best friends," he said. "This is a large community with a lot of niches for different people. Maybe the people who leave don't find themselves at home."
Jane Tuttle, assistant to the dean of students, said students needed to find a connection with the University.
"I don't think there can be a way that students can say that there is not anything to do," she said. "If they don't get involved it's not because they can't, but because they don't want to."
Tamnara Durham, Freshman-Sophomore Advising director, said getting involved could curb homesickness, which she said contributed to students' feelings of not belonging.
"Then you know people care about you," she said. "It can make this large institution seem small."
Durham said utilizing office hours was another method to make the University seem more personable.
"Take advantage of us," she said of the advising office. "Talk to your instructors and faculty. That's why they have office hours."
Tuttle said another way students could ensure first-year survival was to ask questions.
You have to find what's comfortable for you."
Durham suggested that students introduce themselves to their professors and visit their office hours at least once.
"First of all you're not just one of 500 in a class," she said. "The instructor will know that you're interested in education."
"We want students to be successful. If you don't know something, just ask," she said.
Freshmen face new start

Kansan staff writer
Another year of school has arrived and yet another group of freshmen are about to embark on their journey at the University of Kansas.
All freshmen have their own individual stories,but they all have one thing in common— a new chapter in their lives.
Wendy Rohleder-Sook, prelaw adviser in the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, said an important way for the new students to get acclimated was to get involved.
"New students need to develop contacts with professors and students early in the semester," Rohleder-Sook said. "It can be tough for students who come from small towns."
Braden Miller, Claflin freshman, came from a graduating high school class of 31 students. He is one of only two from that class coming to the University in the fall.
Miller said he was looking forward to the new experience and the opportunity to meet new people.
Shanda Hurla, Hawk Week coordinator, said meeting new people was sometimes hard for students who come to the University from larger areas such as Kansas City.
Those students are not forced to branch out because a lot of their high school class comes to the University she said.
"When I come to KU I won't be able to live with the people I have known my whole life," Miller said. "I will be forced to meet new people."
Hurla said. "Sometimes living close to home may be more difficult because the student might not go out and meet others."
"The transition to college is a huge adjustment for everyone."
Joe Polise, Overland Park freshman and Shawnee Mission South high school graduate, said he was used to meeting new people.
The University offers services for students who are nervous, scared or even a little reluctant to begin this new chapter of their lives such as a tour showing the campus buildings.
"I went on a lot of leadership trips during high school," Polise said. "I had a ball at orientation this summer."
Hurla said one of the best ways for new students to feel comfortable on campus was to become familiar with it.
Lost and founds collect more than just discs, books
Amanda O'Toole

Kansas staff writer
About five to 10 items are brought to the Watson Library's lost and found on a daily basis.
But every once in a while something more unusual makes its way to the metal cabinet behind the circulation desk on the first floor that the staff uses to hold the lost items.
Disks are the most common object left behind, said Joe Mulvihill, Perry junior and student hourly at Watson.
Sometimes it's an article of clothing or an umbrella with an animal carved into the handle. A pack of explicit pictures topped the list for strangest item of last fall, Mulvihill said.

The University of Kansas has more than 30 recognized lost and founds throughout campus.
"Most people come looking for their disks." Lindsay Gibbs, Dodge City senior and Watson circulation staff, said. "Some people are in such a hurry. They run in here to print a paper before class and they forget to take their disks."
Lost and found items at the Kansas Union's site. The Hawk Shop on the fourth floor, are kept at the front desk for two weeks and then are moved to a back room. Sunday Werkheiser, supervisor said.
Gibbs and Mulvihill said the lost and found at Watson was cleared out about every month. The staff is allowed to take home items they want and the rest is donated to the Salvation Army or somewhere similar, Gibbs said.
Werkheiser said she usually filled about three 55-gallon buckets in a semester.

Experience college radio with student-run KJHK
By John Sheirman
jsheirman@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
One hundred fifty KU students work 24/7 to ensure that you can hear music most radio stations won't play.
Student-run KJHK, 90.7 FM, has something for everyone, according to station manager Matt Beat, Augusta senior. The station plays contemporary rock, blues, punk rock, reggae, jazz, classic rock of the '60s and '70s, indie pop and more.
"We pretty much have every genre covered except classical and country." Beat said. "We even have a bluegrass show."
Beat said most of the music the station played would not be heard on any other station in the Lawrence area. It includes underground, local musicians and albums that are not from major labels. He said KJHK's closest com-
pettition would be The Buzz, 96.5.
KRBZ-FM, or 97.3 The Planet.
KJHK's mission statement reads as follows; "KJHK is a diverse, student-run radio station devoted to producing cutting-edge, professional programming for the KU and Lawrence community."
Heat said most of the station's listeners were students, but shows like Jazz in the Morning, 6 to 9 a.m. weekdays, attracted an older crowd as well. The station began operating in 1975, and was the first college radio station to broadcast continuously on the Internet.
Natalie Yeh, Topeka fifth-year senior, has been a DJ at KJHK for "a while." She said DJs were required to play some songs from the station's rotational list, but aside from that, they could play whatever they wanted.
"I play a lot more mellow stuff, more electronically-oriented," she said. "I will play older stuff, but more often my stuff is contemporary."
Yeh said she saw her audience as people in their early to late 20s — "the kind of people who would appreciate a non-commercial radio station."
KJHK also broadcasts news at 7, 8, and 9 a.m. and again at 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. News covers sports, including broadcast all home football games on Saturdays, and carries talk shows on subjects such as culture and politics. It has also hosted guests such as U. S. Representative Dennis Moore (D-Kan.) and U. S. Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kan.).
Beat is positive about JKH and its place in the radio market.
no place. "In my opinion, radio isn't what it used to be. KJHK gives hope. We take requests. We give local bands a chance to be heard," he said. "It's just stuff that most people haven't heard."

Help available for nontraditionals
By Abby Tillery atilley@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas defines a nontraditional student as someone who commutes 10 or more miles to campus, is a parent of dependent children, is married, is a veteran, is three or more years older than their peers or is at least a 25-year-old undergraduate.
Although the numbers aren't clear, Aaron Quisenberry, associate director of the Center for Campus Life, estimated there were a little less than 4,000 nontraditional students at the University.

Daycare facilities and assistance
There are two daycares located on campus — Hilltop and the Edna A. Hill Child Development Center.
Hilltop is geared specifically for KU students and faculty, but priority is given to students first. Pat Pisani, executive director for Hilltop, said about 55 percent of children who attended the daycare had KU students for parents. The price of daycare is on a sliding scale, taking into account the income and family size. The waiting list at Hilltop can be 1 or 2 years.
The other daycare facility, Edna A. Hill Child Development Center, is not geared toward students who are parents, but about 50 percent of the daycare children are students' children.
The development center has two different sides: Sunnyside
for infants and EduCare for 2 and-a-half-year-olds through kindergarten age.
Both sides have a waiting list, but the program coordinators encourage people to continue to apply because sometimes spots open suddenly.
There are options for financial assistance with daycare costs if you are a parent at the University.
For the 2003-04 year, Student Senate gave $55,000 in grants to parents, averaging out to about $600 per awarded applicant. This year an additional $5,000 was given in grants, said Stephanie Covington, associate director of Student Financial Aid.
Stouffer Place Apartments on the corner of 19th and Iowa provide housing for students with families.
Housing Facilities
Eric Grospitch, assistant housing director at the University, said families were catered to first and any remaining openings would go to post-doctorate students, visiting scholars or visiting faculty members.
There is a $35 application fee and a $150 deposit required.

Options for recycling increase on campus
Severin talked about the benefits of recycling. "The obvious one? It reduces the amount of stuff going into the landfills. It's not as urgent in Kansas." Not having to mine for metals or cut down trees are also benefits, he said.
A recent trash audit by the Environmental Stewardship Program showed that 67 percent of the trash left in classrooms at the University of Kansas is recyclable. The discarded materials consist largely of newspapers and beverage containers.
Severin said that blue boxes had been placed in most of the University's buildings to provide
This year, Jeff Severin, the University's environmental services manager, is trying to do something to increase the amount of material recycled.
Severin said the end of the summer was a good time for students to begin recycling. The peak season, however, is at the end of the spring semester, when the Environmental Stewardship Program provides containers for students who are leaving to get rid of items such as furniture that they will not be using anymore.
places to drop off recyclables. "We also purchased a couple of trailers to use as drop-off points for off-campus students."
There are going to be a few other changes in the program, Severin said, including outdoor containers for newspaper and plastic bottles, provided to address the issue of trash on the ground.
Celeste Fish, Pittsburg senior, works for the environmental stewardship program part-time as a crew leader, a position she has held for almost three years. She said that students, faculty and staff had all been learning how to participate in recycling.
The volume of recyclable materials gathered depends on the type of material, Fish said. She said that because the campus dining facilities used a lot of cardboard, the beginning of the fall semester brought a definite increase in the amount of that product collected for recycling.
"Over a three-year period since I've been here, we have seen an increase in recycling, especially with electronics," Fish said.

Public radio covers local issues
---
Courtnev Kuhlen/KANSAN
P
Laura Lorson, local All Things Considered host, has worked at KANU for four years. She said she found it satisfying to deliver local news to people that really affects them. “How can you really complain about a job like this?” she asked as she gestured around her recording studio.

Kansas Public Radio receives more than 25 e-mails every day from listeners providing feedback about its broadcasts. Some listeners want more local news, while others want to hear more national programming and still others want more music. Regardless of the input, all e-mails are read. KPR exists to serve the community. In fact, it encourages input and takes it so seriously that it allows themselves the flexibility to change what it puts on the air at any given time.
"KPR is an umbrella term for the different signals that broadcast Kansas Public Radio," said Laura Lorson, a local host at KANU. "We have also had people call in from places in Missouri saying that they are listening to us."
KANU, licensed to the University of Kansas, is the Lawrence signal for Kansas Public Radio. KPR has a series of towers throughout Kansas, including Junction City, Emporia and Atchison, stretching its broadcast as far west as Salina and as far east as Kansas City, Mo.
KANU has been at the University for more than 50 years, but it moved into a new building about a year ago.
"We were in a small building, basically out of space and using old equipment," said Lorson. "We decided that in order to give listeners what they wanted we needed to expand and hook up with a satellite."
KANU is tied under the heading of University Relations, however, the University did not fund the move into the new building. The Kansas University Endowment Association gave KANU the seed money to expand,but
through solicitations and private donations KANU repaid the association.
Lorson said KANU was sensitive to the needs of the community. She said it broadcasted a variety of Kansas Public Radio, National Public Radio and local programming, which was produced in Lawrence. It also plays a lot music, primarily classical and jazz, Lorson said.
Lorson said KPR worked hard to broadcast the best local news and national news. Each NPR program has up to six opportunities for local news inserts, including University news, she said.
"If people want to hear NPR news they don't have to turn the dial to hear if schools are going to
KPR is working to improve their relationship with the University and its students, said Robin Jordan, corporate development director. She said they wanted to increases students' awareness of KPR and how it could benefit students.
"If you are a KU student and you want to know if KU tuition is going up, KANU would not be a bad place to turn," Lorson said.
They will broadcast more live concerts and major University events, like Bill Clinton and Bob Dole's visit. They are collaborating with the Hall Center for Humanities, Spencer Museum of Art and University Theatre to attract student listeners. She said the door was always open to students who wanted to learn and contribute through internships.
Jordan also said they encouraged more students to get involved with KPR. She said they were going to have an intern from the University this fall who would work with the marketing team to improve relations with students.
"Everyone here loves to teach because we are so passionate about what we do," said Lorson. "Students who love news, classical and jazz music and want to learn production skills could make great contributions to what we do."

Racy reading rewarding task

Stephanie Farley reads Play girl Magazine about once a month, not for the pleasure of the pictures, but for the satisfaction of helping others.
The Adult Magazine Hour is one of several shows she covers when other broadcasters aren't available.
Farley, Wellington senior, reads for the Audio-Reader Network, a non-profit organization that provides broadcasts of printed material for the visually impaired and print-disabled throughout Kansas and western Missouri.
The network, which broadcasts to about 5,000 people on an FM subcarrier, operates with about 250 volunteers and seven full-time employees. Subscribers are given free equipment to pick up the signal.
1234567890
Audio-Reader Network is a service provided by the University and is located at 1120 W.11th St., near the Triangle fraternity house.
New volunteers are always needed, and with the program's close-to-campus locations, students can easily become involved, said Lori Kesinger, program manager.
"People can come in for an hour and a half a week," she said.
"It's not messy — it's not like picking up trash on the freeway. It's real clean and easy."
The genre of reading materials surpasses racy magazines, too.
The network broadcasts local and regional newspapers, magazines and popular books.

get information without having to bother friends and family," Kesinger said. "They can get times, dates and places of events going on in a community."
Though she said the main focus was to keep readers updated with current news, Kesinger encourages students to suggest or bring books they are interested in.
Farley said she would encourage any student to go to the Audio-Reader Network to see what it was like.
"It's a different kind of helping," she said. "You don't see the good that you do, but you know it's there."

Student loan options confusing, remedy costly bills
By Abby Tillery atiller@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Nearly 50 percent of college students pay for education through federal loans, according to The College Board, a non-profit organization for students and universities. University of Kansas students on the Lawrence campus alone accounted for more than $79 million in loans, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning's Web site, www.ku.edu/~oirp.
Emily Vick is a former KU student who funded a study abroad trip with a loan from the Kansas University Endowment Association.
The 2003 KU graduate borrowed $7,000 and doesn't look back with any regret.
"Student loans are so good because the interest rate is so low," she said.
The interest rate for a KU Endowment Loan is 4.5 percent with a four-month grace period. Different loan programs have different interest rates and different grace periods.
For example Stafford loans, which are federal direct loans, have a 2.77 percent interest rate with a six-month grace period and Perkins loans have a 5 percent interest rate with a nine-month grace period.
Students can decide between grants, scholarships, loans, work-study and sometimes their parents.
Sallie Mae, one of the largest student loan companies in the United States, services student loans for more than seven million people. Martha Holler, Sallie Mae spokeswoman, said the best way to pay for college was with "gift aid." Gift aid refers to free money like grants and scholarships; things you don't have to repay.
The application for many of the grants and loans are available through the office of student financial aid. Individual schools and institutions offer grants, but the students must seek the aid themselves.
In order to obtain a federally funded loan a student must fill out the free application for student financial aid which can be picked up in 100 Strong Hall or completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Not all student loan applications come through the Office of Student Financial Aid.
The priority deadline for the following academic year is March 1. Applicants meeting the priority deadline have a better chance for
the limited fund options like the federal Perkin loan.
Students have the option to work outside the federal loan system and look for student loans through banks.
Stephanie Covington, associate director for the Office of Student Financial Aid, said some students don't get enough funding for school through federal programs.
When students complete a FAFSA form, the family contributed income is calculated.
The student's eligibility for aid is determined by subtracting the contributed income and other financial aid from the cost of attendance.
The current academic year's cost of living for an undergraduate resident is $13,778 and for a nonresident it is $21,552.

More than half of KU students depend on loans to pay for tuition and cover the cost of bills. Stafford Loans are set up so the amount students borrow does not exceed their cost of living. The chart below illustrates the amount students can take out in Stafford Loans.

Toss in the totes and pull out the ponchos

Staples of'80s fashion are in for fall season
By Miranda Lenning
mlenning@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The '80s are making a comeback; denim is always in style, scarves should be worn as belts and backpacks should be tossed and replaced with totes.
These are just a few things to keep in mind when doing back-to-school shopping. The transition from summer to fall is tricky because it is not entirely reflective of either season's, said Jessica Hunt, assistant manager at Abercrombie and Fitch, 647 Massachusetts St. But it is obvious designers can't get enough of the "flirty mini" for women, a term that refers to the
four inches of ruffled material sold as a skirt, and logo T-shirts for men. Store managers in downtown Lawrence said the "flirty mini" was the hottest selling summer item for women, and expected them to invade campus as long as the weather permits.
But as more of the fall lines start rolling into stores, the arrival of
ponchos, boatneck shirts and an array of denim set the stage for the women's fall look. Athletic apparel, logo T-shirts, basic khakis and more denim can be expected to be seen on men.
and Marianne and American Eagle have stocked their shelves with '80s apparel: boatneck shirts, layered knits and camisoles layered under T-shirts.
It's obvious designers can't get enough of the "flirty mini," a term that refers to four inches of ruffled material sold as a skirt. Store managers in downtown Lawrence expect the skirt to invade campus as long as weather permits.

Kathy Mattan, manager at the Gap, 643 Massachusetts St. said, they offered wrinkle-free
Hunt said the store could hardly keep men's logo T-shirts and khakis on the shelves.
"We've even got leg-warmers," Hunt said.
Stores are making an effort to accommodate the lifestyle of the college-aged male. As if expecting men to wear clothes wrinkled, stores are selling them that way. Additionally, managers think the 100 percent cotton graphic T-shirts and the gym wear are conducive with the low-maintenance laundry lifestyle.
"It is so hard to predict what the guys are going to wear," she said. "They usually come to get their basic khakis and jeans."
Hunt said that ponchos have been the most popular selling item from the women's fall lines. Ponchos could be a good fall campus look because they provide the comfort element while remaining stylish. Most ponchos slide on over the head and cover the arms, but don't have arm holes, allowing for comfort and warmth when the weather gets cooler.

This year, key to accessorizing women's denim will be to wear bright-colored belts and scarves around the waist. Designers seem to be encouraging women to hang up their plain, old belts and add some flavor to their denim. Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, Urban Outfitters and Target stores all have an array of colorful belts and scarves.
Finally, the staple for the back-to-school wardrobe is the book bag. Here is some advice: ditch the bulky backpack for a trendy tote, or a clever one-strapped sling.
Mattan said their fall line would include a replica of a tote that "sold like hotcakes" in the spring. Sunflower Bike Shop said that men were buying more of the sling-style bags and less of the classic backpack.

Student Union Activities looks to more entertainment
Big name comedian and end-of-year show are its goals
Marc Ingber
minger@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
After bringing in a range of speakers from political analyst James Carville to comedian Mo Rocca last year, Student Union Activities is gearing up for another round.
The student-run group, which is in its 66th year, sponsors a variety of activities including guest speakers, poetry slams, movies, comedians, concerts and tea servings.
Rachel Peart, Overland Park junior and president of SUA, said the group was an outstanding social outlet for its staff.
When she came to the University of Kansas she already knew a lot of
the people from high school. When Peart joined the SUA, she made a new group of friends.
She said joining SUA led to her to become involved in other activities such as leadership conferences and Student Senate.
"I do a lot of stuff that I never in a million years thought I would when I was just a committee member," Peart said.
Peart said one of her goals for this year was to have less events that reached a larger group of people than last year.
She is more interested in quality over quantity, because the number of events the group organized last year stretched them a little thin, she said.
"Eight events a week is a lot and some of our events began to suffer," she said of last year's schedule.
SUA is also going to scale back the amount of committees it has from nine to six.
Rebecca Swick, McPherson senior and SUA summer coordinator, said they were cutting back so the committee members would have more say in what the group was doing.
The six committees will be social issues, comedy and concerts, cultural arts, games and novelty and films and traditions.
Swick said a couple of SUA's goals for entertainment this year were to have a big end of the year concert at Memorial Stadium and to get a bigger-name comedian than Mo Rocca, although he enjoyed him.
Peart said she wasn't sure how well-known Robca was when they got him, but he turned out to be one of the highlights of the year.
Other highlights of last year were getting Patty Jenkins, director of Monster, and Steve Perry, former lead singer of Journey, Peart said.
"He did a little of the 'Don't Stop Believing' lyrics onstage, so that was
SUA is planning on spending more money for entertainment events this year than it usually does, so it should pay off, Peart said.
a highlight," she said of Perry.
It's still too early to confirm any specific entertainers for this year, though, she said.
Jamie Labrier, McPherson senior and vice president of SUA, said this year's staff was looking in good shape compared to past years.
The group has about 35 reliable committee members, she said, whereas they only had about 10 to 15 at this time last year.
They could always use more, Labrier said, and the best way to get involved is to stop by the SUA office on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union or to come to one of the committee meetings.

School strives for higher minority enrollment rates
By Jay Senter
jsenter@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Ashlen Williams' father hoped that she would consider attending a black women's college. The Rolla, Mo., freshman had, after all, spent four years at a high school where only 5 or 6 percent of the student population was black.
"He wanted her to experience what it would be like to be in the majority, for once," Ashlen's mother Connie Williams said as the two waited for orientation activities to begin at Kansas Union in July.
But Ashlen wanted to study architecture, and a reciprocity agreement between Missouri and Kansas, coupled with the reputation of the school's program, made the University of Kansas an attractive destination.
Moreover, Connie Williams said, the efforts of the University's recruitment team to make her daughter feel welcome, and to inform the Williamses about minority outreach programs on campus, made Kansas seem like a good fit.
"I honestly feel like they really care—and I tell people this and not just because my daughter is going here," Connie said. "They make a real effort to make the recruiting staff representative of the students they want to attract. And that makes me feel good about leaving my daughter here."
The Williams' story is representative of the University's increased focus on minority recruitment and retention over the past few years.
Last fall, minority enrollment of first-time freshmen increased to a record number, 12.6 percent.
"They make a real effort to make the recruiting staff representative of the students they want to attract. And that makes me feel good about leaving my daughter here."

Much of that success, said Lisa Pinamonti, director of admissions and scholarships, can be attributed to the school's retention initiatives.

Since the launch of HAWK Link, a student-of-color retention program, Kansas has seen an increasing number of its minority students returning for
But while enrollment numbers from the past two years suggest that the University programs aimed at recruiting and retaining minority students have been successful, projected population figures showed that keeping the University moving toward greater diversity could be difficult given Kansas's relative racial homogeneity.
The Kansas Board of Education projects that, outside of a growing Hispanic population, racial diversity at Kansas public schools will remain static in coming years.
Those figures are somewhat of a mixed blessing for the campus departments charged with increasing diversity because the University has been recognized for its support of Hispanic students by The Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education, a

national magazine.
In response to such a challenge, the University's Office of the Vice Provost for Student Success has commissioned the creation of a campuswide strategic plan for increasing diversity.
Santos Núnez, director of the Multicultural Resource Center, leads the committee that issued a preliminary report on the strategic plan last April.
That report called for the realistic projection of minority enrollment at the University for the years 2006, 2011 and 2016, and the five to ten best strategic initiatives to reach those goals.
"Right now we are just looking at the enrollment profiles," Núñez said. "But eventually this will be a university-wide initiative and we will have an overall plan for the University."
Pinamonti, who also works with the committee, said while there was no timeline for the formalization and publication of the plan, the committee's initial goal was to have students of color make up 14.22 percent of the incoming freshman class for 2016.
While the diversity committee has a difficult task and a considerable amount of work ahead of it, if the example of Ashlen Williams is representative, its members can take solace in the fact that the University's current diversity initiatives appear to be taking effect.
"Every time we visit, people welcome you here on every level," Connie Williams said. "I hope you all aren't tricking, or I'm going to be really mad."

Parking still a problem
Students still find parking a pain in the wallet

Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas parking department has already sold 1,000 more permits than there are spaces available, said Donna Hutine, parking department director.
The parking department hired a consultant to find solutions to existing parking problems, such as the overflow from residence halls. The report is expected at the end of August.
Hultine said she suspected the report would contain such big ideas that it would be a year or more before any change became effective.
The parking department has already implemented some changes to help with the overflow issue. New permits are available this year for the Lied Center parking lot to help with the overflow from Daisy Hill residence halls. Overflow spaces have also been made available in the Mississippi Street garage adjacent to the Kansas Union.
The parking department's five full-time safety and security officers are all 20 to 25 part-time students, all able to issue tickets. At any given time of the day, 10 of these employees are out writing tickets.
Yellow Permits
$55 Annual
$50 Semester
The staff works until midnight, after which the KU Public Safety Office writes tickets for illegally parked cars.

parked without a valid permit, in a restricted area or in an expired stall in the Mississippi street garage.
Parking at an expired meter is a $5 ticket. Multiple tickets can be issued at meters and short-term meters are ticketed 24 hours a day. Long-term meters are ticketed only when the lot is open.
A student with three or more tickets may have his or her car towed. A student must pay the tickets and a $30 towing charge before their vehicle is released
"There is no free parking here," Hultine said. "People just let tickets accumulate and don't do anything about it."
Failure to pay tickets can result in holds on enrollment and transcripts. Tickets may be turned over to collection agencies for students no longer enrolled at the University.
Students caught with a forged permit are fined $100 in addition to a $30 tow charge. Parking rights
are also revoked for a year.
students may appeal tickets to the Court of Parking Appeals within ten business days of the issued citation.
Only 20 percent of appeals were granted last year. Hultine said many were frivolous appeals from students claiming they couldn't afford the ticket or they needed to enroll. The appeals court is working on a list of reasons that aren't grounds for appeal, she said.
"My message to new students is to be patient," Hultine said. "I think people are so used to having their car and being able to park so close to the building. Call someone to try to get an understanding of the parking regulations."
Safety in University parking lots has also been an issue in recent years. The KU Public Safety Office has talked of pledging a bid for cameras that would monitor parking lots at GSPand Corbin halls and the Lied Center, which the parking department would help fund.
Hultine said students should also be responsible for their own safety. Don't walk alone at night, know where blue emergency boxes are and carry a cell phone.
Those interested in voicing their opinions about the parking department should attend parking commission meetings, occurring at least three times a semester. The first meeting will be held at 1 p.m. on September 7th in the department's conference room, 1501 Irving Hill Road.

Bacterial meningitis is an infection of the lining covering the brain and spinal chord. The bacteria is spread by direct contact with an infected person's nose and throat discharges, including coughing, kissing and sharing utensils, Chapstick or cigarettes. One in 10 cases end in fatality, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

2.
The disease mimics the flu, with symptoms appearing within five to ten days of exposure. Patients may experience severe headaches, high fever, stiff neck or rash.
The disease progresses rapidly, making early detection and treatment imperative for survival. Strother said. Those with two or more symptoms present should go to Watkins or an emergency room immediately.
Bacterial meningitis can have lifelong effects, such as permanent neurological damage, kidney failure, hearing loss, seizures and limb loss.
Viral meningitis, a more common but less serious type of the disease, usually lasts one to two weeks — the body can fight it off without treatment. No vaccine is available for viral meningitis.
Someone infected with meningitis can spread the disease while throat and nose discharges contain the germ. Those who have been in contact with a meningitis patient should see a health-care professional for possible treatment.
For more information on meningitis, visit Watkins Memorial Health Center's Web site, www.ku.edu/~shs/ or call 864-9500.

MENINGITIS SYMPTOMS
Early recognition and treatment of meningitis can be the difference between life and death. Because the disease acts quickly and the symptoms are similar to the flu, many don't realize they have the disease until it's too late. If experiencing two or more of the following symptoms, see a physician immediately.
High fever
Headache
Stiff neck
Rash
Nausea
Vomiting
Sensitivity to light
Confusion

Student recovering from meningitis
By Julie Jones
jones@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A University of Kansas student, who graduated in May, remains in the University of Kansas Hospital recovering from bacterial meningitis.
Andy Marso, St. Cloud, Minn., has lain in a hospital bed since April 28, with a family member always at his bedside.
Andy fell ill with the disease while living in Pearson Scholarship Hall. If his housemate had not taken him to Watkins when they had, Andy might not be alive today.
In surgeries over the last two and a half months, parts of Andy's feet, from below the ball of the foot up, and most of his fingers were amputated. He now waits for skin grafts to take to his feet and hands before starting rehabilitation.
"I am absolutely ready to start rehab," Andy said through e-mail. "It means all the surgeries and recovery from them will be behind me. I
intend to work as hard as I can since the quicker the results, the sooner I can go home from the hospital."
With help from his brother Andy has recently started to explore a voice-activated computer software that allows him to navigate the computer, an essential tool for an aspiring journalist.
"His concentration is not yet at the point where he can use it extensively," said Ginny Marso, Andy's mother. "But it's positive for him to know those things are available to him."
Andy is in pain much of the time, but medications and family support have helped him through it. Ginny said that most of the time he was in good spirits.
"Emotionally, I have gone through some tough moments, such as finding out about losing many of my fingers," Andy said. "I have more good days than bad though."
"I am absolutely ready to start rehab.'
Andy said the hospital staff's care and kindness was a blessing. They even bring him treats when they are off duty. Friends and family
have also helped to make him feel at home in the hospital, he said.

"I want to say that the one thing I believe has really helped me to this point is the power of prayer," Andy said. "Almost all my visitors say, 'I'll be praying for you.' Many people I don't even know have been praying for me. I feel that's essential to my recovery."
Ginny said she too had depended on the support of friends and family. "All we ask is for continued prayers that God will give him the strength to get through rehab and the wisdom to know when to let him be self-sufficient," she said.

"I got to where I couldn't see the entrance any longer," Daume said. "I was alone and a little creeped out, so I just turned back. There wasn't anything worth staying for."
In his 17 years at the University, Haidl said he's had few problems with students getting inside the tunnels.
Most don't really know much about them, he said, and the one's that do know there's nothing exciting enough down there to take the risk.

LEGACY: 'Rock Chalk' chant has appeal
student body.
According to www.kuhistory.com, the original chant read, "Rah, Rah, Jay Hawk, KSU."
At that time KU and KSU were interchangeable and KSU did not refer to Kansas State University, which was known as KSAC.
The words "Rah, Rah" were replaced by "Rock Chalk" a year later, and in 1889 the chant became what it is today.
The cheer became known worldwide.
According to the office of University Relations, former president Teddy Roosevelt pronounced it the greatest college chant he'd ever heard.
It was used by Kansas troops fighting in the Philippines in 1899, in the Boxer Rebellion in China and World War II.
At the Olympic Games in 1920, the King of Belgium asked for a typical American college yell. The assembled athletes agreed on the Rock Chalk

Chant and rendered it for His Majesty.
Not only have world leaders found the chant appealing, but the National Survey of Student Engagement found traditions and culture to be one reason students are successful at the University.
The NSSE survey tried to identify and describe the policies, practices and cultures of
colleges that are unusually effective in promoting student success.
The study was done in two sets of visits, Dec. 8 to 11, 2002, and April 20 and 21, 2003.
The report said, "KU has a 'legacy of excellence' built upon a reputation passed between generations, among siblings and through local Kansas lore.
As new generations continue to arrive each year, they will all have an opportunity to participate in the many traditions that the school has created.
Maybe even a few will remember the first time they had the chance to belt out the Rock Chalk Chant themselves.

Dole Institute serves many functions
By John Scheirman
jscheirman@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Most University of Kansas students probably know something about former U.S. Senator Bob Dole (R-Kan.). He ran for president eight years ago, and introduced his opponent in that race, former president Bill Clinton, to an audience of 12,000 for a lecture at Allen Fieldhouse last spring. But many people may not know a lot about the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, located on West Campus.
Courtnev Kuhlen/KANSAM
The institute performs three primary roles according to Richard Konzem, deputy director for administration — it houses Dole's congressional archives, serves as a visitor's hall and sponsors a variety of lectures and programs.
The archives are the largest such collection in the country. They will eventually be made available to scholars for research.
As a visitor's hall, the center displays memorabilia from Dole's youth in Russell, his service and
The lectures and other programs throughout the year focus on public policy and public service.
injury in World War II and his long career in politics and government.
"It's an enormously valuable research tool for anyone looking at American politics in the latter half of the 20th century," said Jean Bischoff, archivist. "It covers everything from the Kennedy era to the Clinton era."
The first major event planned at the institute this fall will be the awarding of the Dole Leadership Prize, an honor that the institute will give to former U.S. Senator George McGovern (D-S.D.). He shares the distinction with Dole of being a defeated presidential nominee. McGovern ran in 1972.
"Dole selects someone who has displayed great leadership in public service." Konzem said.
He pointed to the selection of McGovern, along with Clinton's appearance in April, as evidence that the institute is not driven by partisan politics.
Republican and leader of the Republican Party," Konzem said. "Bob Dole is one of the great compromisers in reaching across the aisle to get things done in Washington. He has friends that are in the other party."
Another program scheduled at the institute in the coming months is a lecture series to be held on three Sunday nights in November at the Lied Center. This year's program will deal with the subject of political humor, Konzem said. The program will feature some contemporary humorists, he said, but the institute will not announce their names until contractual arrangements have been made.
"Bob Dole is a pretty strong
Dole is well-known for his wit and humor, having made appearances on television programs such as the David Letterman and Jay Leno shows.
The third major event at the Dole Institute in the coming yearly cycle will be the Dole Lecture, which Clinton appeared at last spring. The event ideally occurs on or around April 14, Konzem said. April 14, 1945 is the date that Dole was seriously wounded in Italy during World War II.
The initial plan is that Dole will be the speaker in the spring of 2005, Konzem said. The former senator is working on a book about his military service and what he went through recovering from his wounds, and will talk about that if he serves as the speaker at the lecture as planned.
"I think the Leadership Prize is always going to be of interest to students — it's going to be a very distinguished person," said Steve McAllister, law dean and interim director of the Dole Institute. The annual spring lecture should also be of interest to students at the University, he said.
McAllister said the Institute will hold a number of smaller events throughout the year in conjunction with the history and political science departments and others.
"They come to us with programs, and we try to accommodate them," he said.

Bicycles transport, entertain students
By Jay Sonter jsenter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
It's no secret that parking on campus is a hassle. So to avoid the stress of dodging tickets from the parking department, many students get themselves to and from class using a bicycle
Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office captain, said the most frequent violation for which officers issued citations was failure to stop at a stop sign. Cyclists caught not stopping are ticketed for $92.50.
But the University of Kansas Public Safety Office warns students to exercise precaution when using their bikes on campus. Bicycles are subject to the same traffic regulations as automobiles, and KU Public Safety officers will ticket cyclists for traffic law infractions.
Also, Bailey encouraged students to invest in a good bike lock, and to learn to use it properly. Though bike thefts are relatively uncommon at the University, a wave of thefts will hit campus from time to time.
"Some of these bikes are incredibly expensive," Bailey said. "If you are going to spend that kind of money on a bike, don't buy a $5 lock."
While bikes offer students a convenient and relatively cheap mode of transportation, the right bike can serve students as a form of recreation as well.
Lawrence has several miles of trails for mountain bikers. Dan Hughes, the owner of Sunflower Bike Shop, 802 Massachusetts St., said he recommended a low to mid-level mountain bike for most students who used their bikes primarily for transportation on campus. Those bikes typically cost from $300 to $500, though Sunflower does carry high-end, professional mountain bikes that can cost as much as $4,000. The more expensive mountain bikes offer greater durability, less weight and better suspension. But, Hughes said, most students should be able to afford a bike that would get them around campus and let them take on the occasional trail without having to take out another student loan.
The most technical bike trails in the Lawrence area are at Clinton State Park, where steep hills and a rocky terrain make for a challenging course. But the most popular trail in the area is an 8.5-mile loop that runs along the north side of the Kaw River. The trail features moderate hills and relatively smooth terrain, and should be accessible to even inexperienced bikers. Furthermore, its proximity to campus makes it an attractive destination for most students.
“It's pretty easy to ride to that trail from anywhere in town,” Hughes said.
"And the fact that Free State Brewery is on the way back doesn't hurt. Sometimes it's nice to finish off a ride with a beer on the patio."

New law increases risk for ID makers
By Miranda Lenning
mlenning@kansan.com
kansan staff rwriter
The beginning of the school year means students hit the books — and the bars. Bar owners expect to see a lot more people crowding their establishments in the next couple weeks, which means that underage patrons will be trying to sneak in as well.
Possessing, manufacturing and using false identification is always a big problem at the beginning of the school year, said Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department. But possession of fake IDs this year could be even more serious.
With the implementation of the Federal Terrorist Act, people who manufacture fake IDs could be prosecuted at the federal level if one of their buyers used that ID to participate in a terrorist act, Ward said.
"People making and selling fake IDs assume they are selling them to minors with the intent to go to bars and drink," he said. "But it is possible that the person they think is a student is really a terrorist."
Ward said that if a scenario like this were to occur, the person who made the ID could be held responsible for enabling a terrorist act.
That is just one of the repercussions of making a fake ID, he said.
Sgt. Dan Ward Lawrance, Police Department
"People making and seing fake IDs assume they are selling them to minors with the intent to go to bars and drink. But it is possible that the person they think is a student is really a terrorist."
"Chances are you will get caught," Ward said.
The Lawrence Police Department increases its bar patrol at the beginning of the school year.
It has more bar checks, where patrolling officers go to bars looking for underage drinkers, and it increases the number of officers assigned to patrol on foot.
"When school starts up, the citation level skyrockets," said Ward. "It takes a while for new students to catch on that this is a very serious issue."
used an ID to get in the bar. This decreases the bars' responsibility for underage drinkers if minors get caught, and allows police officers to prove that underage patrons have used a fake ID.
Additionally, local bars are cracking down on fake IDs by scanning IDs at the door. Ward said that most bars have adopted a system where they scan IDs and take pictures of the ID user, proving that the bar-goers
"This is a step that shows that bars are working with us to control this issue." said Ward.
In addition to the Lawrence Police Department's efforts to control the use of fake IDs, Alcoholic Beverage Control has a stronger presence at the beginning of the school year. It performs its own bar checks in addition to those done by the Lawrence Police Department, except its officers are unmarked, said Ward. The ABC works in conjunction with the Lawrence Police Department to write citations to underage drinkers.
"You may not even know that they are there unless someone gets arrested." said Ward.
Ward said the police department busted an average of three to six groups of fake ID manufactures and distributors in Lawrence each year. Ward said that once a group of people started getting caught with IDs that had similar characteristics, the police were able to put together an investigation, mainly through interviews, and catch fake ID manufacturers.

Some get a fake ID and risk getting caught at the bars, but for others the risk is not worth it.
Upon coming to the University of Kansas, freshmen often want to celebrate their new-found freedom. But for most of them, the option to drink legally doesn't exist.
There are options for going out without a fake ID, said Ryan Rosemore, Plano, Texas, senior. He said he planned his weekends around friends that spent time hanging out at each other's places.
"It's cheaper that way and you don't run the risk of getting caught with a fake ID." Rosemore said.
Freshmen and sophomores often spend weekends hanging out at apartments and house parties, but there are bars in Lawrence that are 18 and older. Bars such as Jack Flanigans Bar & Grill, 806 W.24th St., Henry's, 11 E. 8th St., and The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., have systems that allow minors to enter.
Dannie Thompson, owner of Jack Flanigans, said when he first opened the bar in 1999 it was 21 and older, but it never looked full because it was so large and it had a somewhat hidden location. He said he made it 18 and older to pull in a larger crowd.
"The major drawback is the enforcing and the policing part of it," Thompson said of allowing minors in.
Jack Flanigans runs an armband system where minors get Xs on their hands and people of age get armbands, but some minors try to wash off the Xs in the bathroom. Thompson said.
That caused him to implement a system where minors who tried to wash Xs off had to leave or repay the cover
"I ended up buying less paper towels and soap." Thompson said.
Henry's, which is much smaller than Jack Flanigans, has a different system. It lets everyone in and only cards people when they buy a drink.
Craig Whalen, Lansing senior and bartender at Henry's, said they had had problems of people buying drinks for underage friends in the past. He said most people respected the rules and only about 5 percent were underage.
Karen Routsong, St. Louis senior, said she tried not to risk getting caught drinking when she was a minor.
"I borrowed an ID a couple times," she said. "But I was always scared doing it, so I didn't do it very often."
Routsong said finding activities to do on the weekends was never much of a problem because she was in a sorority and there were always people to hang out with.

Students help build first satellite to ever be assembled in Kansas
By Erik Johnson
ejohnson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Driven by a voracious desire to explore that which lies beyond the protective atmosphere of earth, a team of engineering students at the University of Kansas has spent the summer months striving toward the completion of a lofty goal: to launch the first satellite ever produced in the state of Kansas.
The Pathfinder, a 4-inch cube satellite known to project members as a CubeSat, is a joint effort of the University's aerospace and electrical engineering departments that began design phases in August 2002. The University's CubeSat program is called KUTESat, an acronym for Kansas
Marco Villa Velsalds, Italy, aerospace engineering doctoral student
Of course every time you build something it's better if you test it immediately so that every subsystem takes care of its own part correctly."
Universities Technology and Evaluation Satellite.
Marco Villa, Valsolda, Italy, aerospace engineering doctoral student and project manager for Pathfinder, heads up six teams of roughly 20 students during the regular school year
During the summer many volunteers go home, and Villa has kept a staff of eight paid workers to ensure considerable progress.
Altogether, Pathfinder will hold in its 4-inch shell a digital camera, a small instrument called a dosimeter to measure radiation and a circuit-board processor to transmit recorded information back to earth. Design phases for the project are completed and approved, and Villa and his summer staff are in the process of constructing and testing Pathfinder, an often arduous task.

"The construction phase itself is only one part of the project," Villa said. "Of course every time you build something it's better if you test it immediately so that every subsystem takes care of its own part correctly."

choice weekend What we want you to do.Really. Do it.
8/19 Thurs.
Wait for Free
Take a load off your first day of classes and add another classic to your movie repertoire. If you like satire, director Christopher Guest and his film, Waiting for Guffman will not disappoint. Set in the
fictitious small town of Blaine, Mo., a cast of random townsfolk piece together a play to celebrate Blaine's sesquientennial. You will laugh, then laugh some more. The show starts at 7 p.m. at the Spencer Museum of Art.
8/20 Fri.
It's Like a Drive-In On a Hill
Interested in what a crazy hired hit-man and a dentist have in common? You are if it involves Matthew
Perry and Bruce Willis. You might have thought you had all of the answers when you saw the funny flick, "The Whole Nine Yards," but the craziness continues. SUA will be sponsoring the movie on the hill by showing "The Whole Ten Yards" on West Campanile Hill Friday August 20 at 10 p.m. All you need to bring is yourself and maybe a blanket to sit on.
8/21 Sat.
Be Helpful
If you have the urge to help out in your community, we have the need. The Center for Community Outreach is giving volunteers the opportunity to make things better. Volunteers can spend the day with local organizations and strive to make a difference in Lawrence. Everyone should meet for the Community Service Project on the fourth floor Lobby of the Kansas Union at 10 a.m. Saturday, August 21. Buses will transport you around town to various organizations. Not only will this give volunteers a chance to learn about other volunteer opportunities at the University of Kansas but all who help will be served with free lunch.
8/22 Sun.
A True Texan Son
THE GREATER MELISSA CLOWNS
After listening to Robert Earl Keen, it becomes obvious that his gift to the audience is his storytelling. The characters in his songs rival those of novelists and compliment the "alternative country" style that Keen has created. Keen is a proud son of Texas, and if you have never heard of him, check out the So Sorry Blues, Corpus Christ Bay and Dreadful Selfish Crime to get a taste of his style before going to his show at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St.

WAKARUSA REWIND Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival highlights summer music scene.
Jayplay File Photo
THE BAND
Jamie Masefield of The Jazz Mandolin Project responds to the crowd at the Wakaraus Music and Camping Festival during the group's set Saturday evening. The Jazz Mandolin Project was just one of 70 bands who played at the festival over a four day period.
By Zach Sias special to Jayplay
At 9:30 p.m. Friday, June 17, with beach balls flying, glow sticks abundant and the aroma of marijuana saturating the air, Lawrence played host to one of the biggest local music events of the summer, the first Wakaraus Music and Camping Festival. From June 17 through June 20 more than 70 bands playing on three stages converged on the fields at Clinton Park to perform for people from all over the country. Thousands crowded in for the four-day event listening to their favorite acts before retiring to nearby campgrounds at night. And it was a diverse mix; the concert-goers ranged from college students to middle aged hippies living past glory.
One of the biggest crowds of the weekend flocked to the Sun Up stage to see Keller Williams perform. Later on that evening an even larger crowd moved over to the Sun Down stage to see Robert Randolph and the Family Band play well into the night. Randolph, who plays the steel guitar and was one of the headliners for the festival, played until 1:30 a.m. He was able to get the energy of a tired and sunburned crowd going with excellent guitar riffs. He even indulged the crowd with a cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze."
Acts such as Mofro, and Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise, whose blind singer entertained the audience with his banter and vocals, highlighted Saturday's shows. The evening's shows included Omaha-native and frequent Lawrence visitor, Pomeroy and were concluded with the band O.A.R. As the festival's headliner, O.A.R. was the only act with much radio success. The band was up to the headliner task and played an hour and half a set that

included fan favorites "City on Down," "Anyway," and early hit "Crazy Game of Poker."
Sunday's music started at noon and included Lonesky Boys, who were fresh off their summer hit "How Far is Heaven." Nick Diegel, Topeka junior, was impressed by its set. "It's a shame that 'How Far is Heaven' gets all the airplay," Diegel says. "Because in my opinion it was the worst song they did that night." Diegel says that besides the sound that bled from the West stage over to the East stage, he enjoyed the shows. "Galactic on Friday night tore the place up, energy like that just makes a night everything."
With the festival being the first of its kind here in Lawrence, organizers hope to improve on this year's test run, while at the same time attracting more popular artists. Check out the official Wakarusa Web site, wakarausafestival.com to see the suggestions made for who will rock Lawrence next summer.
Behind the music, the festival went down without any major problems. Ryan Taintor and Sarah Peterson, Minnesota residents, traveled to the festival after being in Tennessee for the Bonnaro festival. (See sidebar, right) Taintor and Peterson volunteered at Wakaraus and began camping Wednesday. Taintor saves Wakarusa was more laid back and chilled compared to Bonnaroo, but he disliked the conflicting stage times and thought the organizers should have staggered times. Both Taintor and Peterson say there were problems with volunteers not showing up, and would spray the fields to "kill

bitch + Moan
By Jessi Crowder and Chris Tackett
Yo. college kids, we know you've been waiting all summer for us to start answering your questions about sex, relationships, dating, doing it, scoring hot chicks, getting laid, bumping ugles, etc. We're locked and loaded with great advice, so all we need now are questions to answer. Those of you that aren't freshmom will notice a new hottie on the Bitch 'N Moan scene. Jess's here to answer your questions. Just think of her as your ticket into the female's谷歌 . . . err, perspective.
If you hate your roommate, your boyfriend is sleeping with mama and your genitals red and itchy* we can help! Email us at hk@konesan.com and we'll give you great-tterrible advice. We won't print your name, so it's totally anonymous . . . just phone sex, but without the phone or sex.
INo, freshmen, this won't be on the final.
Q
My girlfriend suggested we use food when we do it, and I'm for it, but don't know how to go about it. Any ideas?
Joe, Senior
a
Jensi: Despite the media's sexyicious pro
Despite the media's soylicious portrait of chocolate syrup and whipped cream atop our nether regions, most of us who have experimented and tasted it know that a thick mixture for a sticky mess. Also remember that "doing it" is usually a sticky mess. I suggest you peruse the supermarket and buy not-as-sticky items from the stores. And since these foods contain more water, they're less likely to leave a residue on your prized parts.
Chris: Cucumbers and star fruit.
Q
My boyfriend's cat will watch us when we're having sex and it really creeps me out. What should I do?
- Susanna, Junior
a
Chris: First of all, guys with cats should be avoided. Also, tell him it is freaking weird.
Q
Jessi! You should not help him of the "one-pussy-limit" in the bedroom. Don't ynounce you够s-
My boyfriend was brought up in a strict, religious house and I want to have wants. He said he mustn't against a premarital sex, but I sense reluctance every time we get close to the act. How can I convince him to go all the way?
Andrea, Sophomore
a
Jesal: You need to explain to your ex-aitor boy that as long as both of you care for each other, sex matters.
**Chris** Oh religion, what would we do without you? Have lots of sex and do crazy amounts of drugs that's what. You must have known this guy was religious when you started dating him. If you love him, you'll respect his views. But you could also just get him drunk.

Food for Fuel
The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round on bean power
By Guillaume
Doane, Jayplay reporter
Photo illustration by Kit Lefler
Marty McFly appears bewildered as the DeLorean comes crashing around the corner of the street. Doc jumps out of the car and rushes to him screaming, "Marty you've got to come back with me. Back to the future." Doc shuffles over to a trashcan, flips open the lid and grabs banana peals and a can of beer, "I need fuel," Doc says, and stuffs his trash findings into Mr. Fusion, a home energy reactor that converts biodegradable products into car fuel. Doc back out of the driveway, the car rises up a few feet in the air and streams through time and space into the year 2015.
88
This opening scene from Back to the Future Two implies that alternative fuels are a prevalent product in the future. As petroleum prices continue to post price costs, the future could be now. Natural fuel, or biodiesel, has existed for more than 100 years, and starting this fall, it holds the key in the ignition of the University of Kansas' KU on Wheels bus program. Following last semester's platform push by KU student body president, Steve Munch, Bellevue, Neb., junior, campus buses will harness the power of the bean and rid the streets of noxious, black gas with a more eco-friendly fume.
The fuel, biodiesel, named after converted soybean oil, is produced from domestic, infinite resources. It contains no petroleum but can be mixed with any level of petroleum to form a biodiesel blend — like the B20 blend running in KU buses, 20 percent biodiesel, 80 percent petroleum.
By the mid 1970s – during what would be called the American oil crisis – fuel shortages resulted in exorbitant gas prices and an everpresent concern about how Americans could affordably fill up their cars. Enter biodiesel, the alternative energy source made primarily in the agricultural sector. Petroleum continued to thrive through the shortfall of the 1970s with the help of increased government subsidies, and once again, biodiesel was relegated to the dowdy alternative fuel source, a neglected minority in the energy bazaar.
In 1993, immersed in national concerns about global climate changes and the decline in air and water purities, the National Biodiesel Board opened. The organization's purpose is to get biodiesel national play. Its official Website, biodiesel.org, reports that biodiesel use substantially reduces emissions of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and other noxious gases compared to diesel engines running on petroleum. The EPA's latest technical report says biodiesel emissions are 47 percent lower than overall

emissions from petroleum diesel exhausts. Biodiesel discharges also reduce potential cancer-causing compounds such as Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by 80 to 90 percent. Carbon monoxide is lessened by 48 percent and carbon dioxide - the man-made greenhouse gas thought to be responsible for increased global temperatures - emissions are reduced by more than 78 per cent on a life cycle basis.
The NBB's employees work with domestic biodiesel producers and suppliers to spread biodiesel use and crusade for the environment. Jenna Higgins, director of communication, says biodiesel currently comprises less than 5 percent of the fuel market, but the goal is 10 percent of the fuel market. She says the goal can easily be attained depending on the likelihood of a Senate Energy Bill passing through Congress. The bill, which stalled last Christmas, included a biodiesel tax incentive through the USDA bioenergy program. Higgins says rising gas prices could entice politicians to pedal biodiesel. "It has pretty strong bipartisan support," she says. "The White House supports biodiesel. The President supports it."
While the Bush administration appears to accept the progress of biodiesel and the effort to subsidize alternative energy products seems to be coming along, a battle still rages in the trenches of biodiesel production and

distribution. Bigger tax advantages for petroleum have stalled the advancement of biodiesel, says John McQuery, technical services manager at Hampel Oil. McQuery's company, operating out of Wichita, is one of 11 retail fueling sites in Kansas. It even provides 2 percent biodiesel for three cents more than the street price of diesel gas. McQuerry says no market exists in the United States for passenger biodiesel automobiles as in countries like Germany.
McQuery says the biodiesel market thrives in Germany because Europeans view gasoline as a privilege rather than a right, resulting in heftier government tax advantages for cleaner energy products. Germans pay as much as $4 per gallon, a large reason why nearly every retail pump in Germany offers B100, the hard stuff — pure biodiesel. In addition, domestic car manufacturers in Germany such as BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen all offer diesel engine cars. McQuery says the biodiesel situation in the States rides on the realization of the energy bill. If the bill passes, the doors will open to strive for the goal of 664 million gallons of biodiesel necessitated to fuel every car in America with at least a 2 percent blend.

ties, other suppliers are surfacing with out making the grid recognized by the NBB. A league of underground biodiesel merchants have infiltrated the biodiesel field. That's right —black market biodiesel. They carry the name "backyard biodiesel," and peddle blends of fuel not registered with the EPA. Chris Dabney, Santa Barbara, Calif., resident, aspires to join the ranks of the backyarders, Dabney, a 22-year old, sushi eating, self-described health freak says he's got alternative energy in the blood, growing up in a house powered by solar panels. Though the NBB discourages the use of backyard biodiesel, Dabney says the fuel is the same, only a little bit cruder. He cites a friend's backyard refinery, in Las Vegas that fueled 2,000 cars last year on backyard fuel, as evidence that the unregistered product is really no different."You can pretty much drink the stuff," Dabney says. "It's not that harmful to the environment." Backyard suppliers, like alley cats, scour the streets gleaning their leftovers. Dabney says most of the backyard supply comes from leftover cooking oil at restaurants.
cooking on a college kitchen.
Besides its black-market fame, biodiesel is also touted at eight other colleges around the nation. In the fall of 2002, four University of Colorado engineering students developed the idea to implement biodiesel for the campus bus system. The CU biodiesel program finances its project through bus pass sales at a cost similar to the passes distributed at the University of Kansas. But unlike our campus, Colorado students pay an additional 49 cents per semester to fund the program.
Student Body President Steve Munch followed through on his campaign promise to get the KU bus program chugging on bean power. Munch, says securing the biofuel for the buses wasn't a hard task because of its eco-friendly reputation. "It's hard to be anti-environment," he says. "There's not going to be people who say 'no we don't like the environment.'"
Biodiesel has found a niche here at the University, in environmentally aware underground markets, and depending on the success of the U.S. Senate Energy Bill, it could find it's way into your car. By 2012, the U.S. government intends to have $5 billion gallons of biodiesel domestically produced each year and will provide a $1 tax incentive for each gallon produced. With these numbers, in a decade every diesel car in the United States will have the potential to run a limited blend of biodiesel. By 2015, the possibilities could be endless. So who knows, maybe DeLoreans will fly in the future. Maybe all cars will have Mr. Fusions strapped to their trunks. Maybe every car will run on beer and banana peels. As Doc would say "The future is at stake."

BOOK 'EM DAN-O The skinny on booking bands in Lawrence
By Mike Bauer, Jayplay reporter
packed they turn up.
Brad Chun, who books shows at the Gaslight Tavern, says the Gaslight tries to book as many different types of acts as possible. In a given week, the venue will have DJs play a couple nights and live bands typically play Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The acts booked at Gaslight range from electric bands to acoustic performers to funk bands.
Taylor gets around 300 emails daily from bands wanting to play, and many have to be turned down. "We literally turn hundreds down a month. I will refer them to other venues if I think it will make sense but most of the time there is just too much music going on in Lawrence and the bands will have to pass us by," Taylor says. If there's no room in the schedule or the venue for a band, Taylor will move the show to a bigger Lawrence venue.
You see calendar lists in Jayplay, The Pitch and on venues' Web sites, and every place in Lawrence and Kansas City has bands playing damn near every night of the week. Depending on your venue's popularity, booking venues can be a busy job or a job you just wish could get busier. Some places barely get the right amount of acts booked each month to stay boonin', while others are so packed they turn away.
Leisure performers to tunk ballets. Chances are also good if one if a band has played in Lawrence, they've booked a show or two through Pipeline Productions. Pipeline books a majority of the shows that come to Lawrence. The person who handles the booking for Pipeline is Terry Taylor.
Despite turning down lots of acts, Taylor still books many bands for the various venues in Lawrence, and the Spitfire or

Chun says he's had to turn down a few acts, mostly because of space considerations. Venues can turn down bands if they feel the act will bring a bigger crowd than the venue can contain. Both Chun and Taylor say they book bands from any genre of music.
genre of music.
Taylor says usually agents will contact him for an available date for a band. Taylor says this happens 70 percent of the time. Any other time, a venue will contact a band's agent if it is really interested in the band. If a band doesn't have an agent, it'll contact the venue directly.
EVAC is one band that contacts venues around Lawrence directly for shows. Jeremy Goldstein, who makes up one half of the electronic group, says the band likes to play locally a couple times a month. Goldstein and his musical partner, Ed Hickey, will play more often if a venue comes to them with a show offer. However, the group is starting to get some outside help with booking shows.
Use inside help with booking.
"Recently more and more promoters and booking agents are starting to help us out but that has only come about over the last year or so." Goldstein says.
If you're in a band and want to book a show, you need to do is contact the venue and ask for the person in charge of booking. That person can give you more info on what to do to get a show lined up. Otherwise, if it's a good bet your band will deal with Pipeline Productions, you can always visit their website at www.pipelinesproductions.com to get information on who to talk to and what to send.

COCKTAIL OF THE WEEK: BLOODY MARY
Talk about a pleasant namesake. The Bloody Mary is named for Henry VIII's illegitimate daughter, Mary Tudor, who during her five years as Queen killed most of her Protestant enemies. First mixed in Paris by bar master Pete Petoit, the drink traveled overseas in the '30s, was mixed with gin instead of vodka, and was named the Red Snapper. As Americans developed a taste for vodka, the true Bloody Mary gained popularity.

Collateral (x.x) 12 out of
R. 119 minutes, South Wind 12 Theatres
White Collarer may seem like a Tom Cruise vehicle, the real protagonist of the story is Max, played by James Foxx Max works as a cab driver, saving up his money so he can start his own limo company. We can't help but root for Max when an attractive prosecutor (Jada Pinkett Smith) physically argues with him about the fastest way to her destination, and gives him her number. But this charming moment dissolves fast once Vincent Tom Cruise approaches Max with six $100 bills and a proposition. The offer, take Vincent to five destinations before his early morning flight the next day. Before we can say 'five corps,' Max is at gunpoint learning that Vincent is a hit man hired to fill witnesses in the trial of a drug dealer.
Some of the best parts of Collateral happen outside of the cab. Take the scene where Max and Vincent talk to the owner of a jazz club (Barry Shabaka Henley), who describes the story of how one day Miles Davis walked ipto his club. The dialogue seems so authentic that it is hard to remember that this is scripted material and not just people talking quietly over drinks. The actors in the film is at their best, and we don't question the validity of these characters.
The film is shot mostly on digital video, giving the film trifectic tension and the feeling that anything could happen at any time. Foxx shows he has leading-man talent and works well alongside Cruise, *Collaborate* might have one too many coincidences, like when a detective (Mark Ruffalo) ends up in the same hospital elevator as Max and Vincent and any the wisfr as to who they are. But that is just a minor quibble in this tense, original and engaging thriller.

Gries). Meanwhile, Napoleon has made his first real friends, the new kid, Pedro (Eren Ramirez), and a plucky, ambitious photographer, Deb (Tina Maiorino). As far as story, that's about it. It isn't so much a linear film as it is a series of vignettes strung together to showcase what Napoleon will do next.
This film is genuinely and originally funny. Hederus (make sure it's stays in italics) Napoleon. But since Heder, from our eyes, is Napoleon, the filmmakers shouldn't try to beat it over our heads to make us see that this guy is nerdy. It's as if they are whispering in our ear "Look at the nord get beat up." "Look at the nord dance," "Look at the nord fall on his bike." We get that this poor boy is a nerd. And yes, it is very funny to see him fall/dance/mess up, but enough already. The saving grace is Heder himself. Giving his Napoleon all he has to give, he gives us a nerd that we may have seen before but have never seen as funny and as clever as this Lindsey Ramsey

Before Sunset ( x out of four)
R, 80 minutes, Liberty Hall
Moves need their own interests to combat us, but this one consists mainly of a memory. Specifically the memory shared between its protagonist, who fell in love fast in Linkerite's Before Sunrise.
At the end of Sunrise, which is one of the best romance films of the '90s, American Jesse (Ethan Hawke and European Celine Jaffe Delpy) promised to meet in Vienna six months later, and the film ended up of murdering another she showed up.
Texas filmmaker Richard Linklater (Daxed and Connusd. Waking Life) makes movies that are conversation pieces. Whether his characters are cruising the streets before the big jack of school keeper or walking through life, they exhibit an insatiable curiosity, an obsession with the meaning of it all as it relates to the present.
Sunset opens 10 years later? Jesse has become a book-selling New York author, and he's come to Perth to promote his new book, a memoir of his night with Celine.
Celine shows up at school of Jessie's book signings, and the one-time lavers agree to spend time together before Jesse leaves for America.
Despite the maddening experience of watching two people response, this is still a Richard Linklater film, so we get plenty of juicy political debate. Jessie takes the Chomsky view that people's heightened awareness of world issues leaves room for optimism. While Celine complains that the States is rapidly using up the planet's resources, *Before Senget* continues a trend of timeliness that 2004 will be remembered for, following up to the minute films such as *Fahrenheit 9* and *71*. *Before Susset* picks up in the last 20 minutes, but a little too late. It's all enough to make you wish Lisa Linnette had let us sleep dogs doge and keep what habit.

The Hives
Tyrannosaurus Hives
Lyrically, front man Pelle Almousti
The Hives are, without question, the most amplified and explosive band on either side of the Atlantic. By mixing soul, big band swagger, punk exuberance and a new pop sensibility into a high-energy rock'n'roll cocktail, these sharp dressed Swedes have patented the sound of indifferent revely on their latest release, the insolently titled Tyrannosaurus Hives. The opening tracks, "Abra Cadaver" and "Two-Timing Touch and Broken Bones," are two-minute fits of fast vocals and faster guitars.
The Hives stumble only once in on the sluggish "Diabolic Scheme," in which Almavist attempts to croon over garage
reiterates his didactic for anonymity and conformity on the first single "Walk Idiot Walk" and "See Through Head," both condemmations of people and robots with "transparent craniums." (The Hives themselves are not these people.) Social insights aside, the Hives are at their best when they have the most fun. "A Little More For Little You," the album's best track, is The Hives channeling the faux 50's energy and flair of Grease. If Elton John had played guitar and listened to The Saints, this song would be his. Instead, The Hives just wrote the punk version of "Crocodile Rock."
guitars and ill-advised Eleanor Rigish string. The album's overall animation however, refuses to be compromised. Tyrnannosaurus Hives is a half hour seizure of unadulterated rock, which will more than likely induce spastic movement from both arms and (make sure to keep in italics) legs. Using imprudent Aesopian allegory, if Beile and Sebastian were tortoises, the Hives would be the bare. And The Hives would run on propane and win, negating any moral.

The Killers Hot Fuss
—Dave Ruigh
It's up for debate whether it was irony or indifference that led The Killers to their macabre moniker. The band's new-wave disco influenced pop is alive and urgent enough to suggest the former. The elevent tracks on Hot Fuss provide all the sweaty, danceable essentials: rubbery bass, gaudy synths and a slick '80s shine. Vocalist Brandon Flowers howls accounts of death and remorse through the swirls with a voice strong enough to shoulder the band's garish
sound throughout.
Like all pop albums, *Hot Fuss* is built on singles. "Somebody Told Me" and "Mr.Brightide" are high-energy power pop with hooks to spare. The album's swan song, "All These Things That I've Done", fades out as the band, backed by a full choir, chants "tgot soul, but I'm not a soldier" in mantra absolution. The Killers know how to write great singles, but overall, the album lacks the cohesion for all its tracks to be essential. The closing tracks, "Midnight Show" and "Believe Me Natalie" tend to feel like tedious filler. The Killers seem poised to become a dance hall staple, along with the majority of the album shows that they're already prepared. *Hot Fuss* is not this generation's Rio, but more than likely The Killers next venture will be.

However, the controls aren't the easiest to use. When playing the game, it takes a little while to stop running into buildings, but after a little training, it's tempting to spend a while just swinging around NYC doing nothing.

The greatest part of the game is the web swinging around New York City. In the September, 2014 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, the game didn't get stellar reviews, but all three reviewers agreed that the web swinging was what keeps people played.

Hole hearted Pondering your mortality at 21
By Kevin Kampwirth, Jayplay writer

SQUARE ENTERPRISES
was 15 years old when I found out I had a hole in my heart. This isn't some lovelorn expression of teenage angst; instead, a prolapse, as it was explained to me, in the mitral valve that is responsible for carrying blood out to the rest of the body. It's nothing life-threatening or even all that debilitating — easy loss of breath is about the only noticeable side effect — but it is something that requires periodic checkups to make sure everything is running smooth.
Problems can sometimes arise, however. Last August, I began experiencing pain in my chest from time to time. I brushed it off and really didn't think about it because they were relatively mild. After four months, though, they were still occurring and started to get worse. My footproof remedy of "just don't think about it and it's go away" wasn't working, so I decided I should probably do something.
Instead of just going to Watkins Memorial Health Center for a checkup, I made the rather large tactical error of mention what had been going on while talking to my mom. Now my mom, God bless her, is the most worrisome person on the planet. Long story short, I get a call from my cardiologist in Chicago the next day who recommended that I go in and get a heart ultrasound to make there's no fluid building up around the heart.
Let me paint a little picture for the purposes of authenticity. There I am shooting pool at Louise's West on a Friday at about five o'clock. I'm a few bees deep, lining up my next shot, when my jean pocket starts to vibrate. The 847 area code on the caller ID lets me know it's a Chicago number, and I
smartass comment thinking it's one of my buddies from back home. I'm pretty surprised when its the voice of good old Dr. Darwish on the other end of the line, and he's hitting me with this bit of information. I hang up the phone, line up my shot and, for some reason, miscue it terribly. Pool didn't seem very important right then. My friend who I was playing with wondered rather explicitly how I could miss such an easy shot. I had no answer for him.
If there ever was a time in my life when things went from so fun to so
Could it kill me? Could I be standing there drinking a beer and the next thing I know be face down on the dirty, sticky barroom floor?
not fun in a matter of about 11 seconds, that was it. Now, I didn't really know what fluid around the heart could do to a person. What I did know was that it didn't sound all that cheery. Could it kill me? Could I be standing there drinking a beer and the next thing I know be face down on the dirty, sticky barroom floor
clutching my chest? My thoughts were running away with me, but how could I not think about it?
After getting a hold of myself I realized that still I lived with the pains for this long, a few more hours, or even days, probably wouldn't make that huge a difference. I tried my best to put it out of my mind the rest of the night. It didn't work.
The next four days of pondering my mortality while I waited for a diagnosis, were just that: four days of pondering my mortality while waiting for a diagnosis, which should pretty much speak for itself. Being a person who usuily never worries about much, this was a somewhat foreign frame of mind and I didn't enjoy it at all.
Wednesday did come, however slowly, as I found myself lying shirtless on a hospital bed in a small.
dim-lit examination room at Lawrence Memorial Hospital at 4:30 in the afternoon. I lay and watched the monitor positioned next to the bed on which I could see my heart beating. I wanted to shut my eyes for a little while, but the cold gel on the metal tip of the ultrasound ward that a tattooed technician was gliding across my chest kept me awake. After 20 minutes he said that everything looked fine, but he would have to send the results to my cardiologist just to make sure. I left feeling relieved.
The next day my pocket vibrated with an 847phone number at about 3:30 in the afternoon. I picked up.
salo hello, and listened. After a minute or two, I hung up, smiled, if only to stop myself from crying, and went to find a pool table. I had a feeling that I wouldn't miss the shot this time.

Precautions a must for house parties
By Joe Burke
jburke@kansan.com
Kansas Staff Writer
Courtney Kuhlen/KANSAN
Alex Carr, Topea graduate,
walked through his house at 939
Indiana St. last Christmas and felt
satisfied as he watched all of his
friends enjoying themselves at the
annual Christmas party put on by
he and his other 12 roommates.
Last year's party was the third time Carr and his friends held the celebration. Each year the group has improved its party and the method in which they throw it, he said.
"When you live with that many people there tends to be a lot of people that come over when we have a party." Carr said. "We just try to monitor the alcohol and make sure everyone at the party knows someone that lives there."
This may sound simple, but even the smallest home gatherings can turn out to be a disaster.
Carr said he and his roommates learned right away the do's and don'ts of having a successful house party.
House parties in Lawrence are a regular occurrence. They may be held by people who are too young to go to the bars or people who don't want to pay for drinks at the bars. Whatever the reason, parties can get out of hand if the proper precautions are not taken.
“If we were going to have a keg we would try to keep it in the back of our house near the door and the cups would be somewhere else,” Hensley said. “That made it easier to monitor who was drinking it and if they had a cup from the party.”
Adam Hensley, Overland Park graduate, said one necessity was to keep the refreshments and cups in different places.
Another tip for house party safety is to know who the people are in your house. Sometimes simply asking someone who they can prevent a future problem later in the night.
This is especially important if you are a person attending someone else's party.
House parties are common in Lawrence, many times with kegs or other alcohols. Alerting neighbors and knowing who is at the party are some ways to avoid confrontations with police and unwanted visitors.
One way to avoid any trouble with the police is to notify your neighbors on both sides of your house, maybe an invitation would be nice as well.
"We decided the best way to avoid noise complaints from neighbors was to invite them to our party," Carr said. "Even if they did not come, they knew we were
having a party."
The most important aspect when throwing a house party is to have fun, Hensley said.
Z. G. Straus/KANSAN
"If you are not having fun at your own party it will be hard for others to enjoy it," Hensley said. "Try to relax and enjoy your friends wreck-

ingyour house because next week it will be at theirs."

The city of Lawrence is cracking down on owners whose lawns are over one foot tall and is providing a number to report offenders.
Unkempt lawns could cost owners
By Amanda O'Tole
avotoole@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Rusty Wright uses his red riding lawn mower every day. The Lawrence Junior said he took pride in the 15 lawns his business, Wright Services, maintained. He neglected lawns were nothing more than eyesores for the city.
And other members of the community seem to agree with Wright. The Neighborhood Resources Department receives daily complaints about unruly lawns, is backed by the Neighborhood Resources Weed Ordinance, and has the right to mow an overgrown yard at the landowner's expense.
Any grass or weeds that reach more than a foot in height violate the ordinance.
The complaint-based organization has two full-time inspectors on staff who notify landowners of any violations. If the problem is not taken care of within 10 days, the city will hire one of four contractors to maintain the lawn and will send a bill to the landowner.
Wright said 10 days was too long. He said the city should take action before the grass reaches an extreme height.
"It makes our city look bad," he said. "I think a lot of those people don't care a lot about their lawns."
In addition to aesthetic purposes, the ordinance serves to keep rodent, insect and snake infestation down to a minimum.
Unruly lawns can also be traffic hazards if they impair vision or block signs.
Both residential and commer-

social property are subject to the code.
Jerry Freeman, operational assistant at Earl May Garden and Nursery Center, 3200 Iowa St., said any yard that had growth over a foot tall was a case of obvious neglect.
When lawns grow to such an extreme height, it is important to bag or rake up clippings so they don't kill the lawn, he said.
He said an ideal lawn should be kept to 2.5 to 3 inches.
Bill Harmon Jr., president of the Landlords of Lawrence, Inc., said the majority of landowners left lawn responsibility in the hands of tenants.
He said he had not had any problems with tenants violating the policy, and landlords should be responsible and aware of the condition of their yards.
"Ultimately, the fine goes back to the landlord. We should be driving by and checking out our lawns," he said.
Wright said, many people may not have lawn mowers but should find a way to take care of their lawns.
"If a person is just lazy they should foot the cost," he said.

Street renamed in honor of developer Bob Billings
By Amanda O'Toole
aotole@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The newly displayed name of former KU basketball player Bob Billings can't be found hanging from the rafters at Allen Fieldhouse, but instead on 50 or so street signs west of Iowa. The stretch of 15th Street west of Iowa was renamed Bob Billings Parkway during the last week of
July as directed by a resolution the City Commission passed about a year ago in response to a petition.
And according to Chris Lazarino, associate editor of the Kansas Alumni Magazine, his name will be popping up on more than street signs.
"We're going to see this happening," he said of the recent honors to Billings, who died last February.
"I think it gives you an idea of how important he was," Bobbie Flory, Lawrence Home Builder's
Billings, a real estate developer who attended the University of Kansas from 1955 to 1959 and was involved philanthropically in Lawrence, was honored as namesake of the Lawrence Memorial Hospital's new cardiac center and also by a drawing that was donated on his behalf to the Spencer Museum of Art in June.
Association executive director, said.
Flory said the association chose 15th Street because of Billings' involvement with the development along the street, including Alvamar Country Club, and because of his time and involvement at the University.
Billings, who was a guard for the Jayhawks from 1956 to 1959 served the University and
Lawrence beyond the basketball court and for more than four decades.
Billings was also student body president in 1957 and served the University in several positions, such as the director of KU Aids and Awards Office, which was later named Office of Student Financial Aid, and the KU Athletics Corporation board.
Lazzarino said students should look to Billings as an
example. Billings, whom he said defined the concept of gentleman, was a business man whose top priority was not profit, Lazarino said.
"His main priority was to keep everyone's best interest in mind," he said. "Students today are trying to form ideas and concepts to grab onto — they can find no better example than Bob Billings."

It seemed fitting when presumed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry invoked the work of a famous Kansas poet last May while in Topeka to recognize the 50th anniversary of the Brown v Board of Education decision.
Addressing a large crowd from the steps of the state capital, Kerry recited a few lines from "Let America be America," a poem by Langston Hughes, who was raised in Topeka and Lawrence before moving to New York where he became part of the Harlem Renaissance.
But to the qualified delight of Hughes scholars, Kerry embraced the poem for use beyond his Kansas audience, and has employed parts of it as the closing
line of his stump speech on roughly a dozen occasions.
PATRICK RUSHBURY
"It's a mixed blessing," said Mary e m m a Graham, codirector of the L ang st on H u g h e s
Kerry
National Poetry Project at the University of Kansas. "We're excited that the poem has gotten attention, and that people can recognize Hughes' importance. But you want to make sure that its use is a teachable moment. It's bad if too few people don't get beyond the quote and to the poem's deeper meaning."
In "Let America be America," Hughes wrote of nation with abundant promise, but also cast a disparaging eye on the racial inequalities that made the American dream unobtainable for many of its citizens.
Graham said the poem served as an example of Hughes' ironic style.
"He never was a cynical poet,"
she said. "He's using an ironic voice, talking to the audience and himself at the same time. Clearly he had a political message that he wanted to issue."
University of Kansas English professor Edgar Tidwell said that the poem was an appeal to the most basic elements of American democracy.
"It truly is poetry of the people," Tidwell said. "Hughes is calling for a return to the sense of value that ultimately emanates from those governing documents, the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution."
Kerry's use of the poem has drawn criticism from conservative pundits who claim Hughes was a communist and radical whose views were unpatriotic. William F. Buckley, Jr., editor of the conservative magazine National Review, wrote an editorial characterizing "Let America be America" as a call for the nation to mold itself into a 'land of Marx and Lenin and Stalin."
Graham said the assertion was calumnious. She said she
acknowledged that Hughes held leftist political views, but she encouraged modern audiences to consider the social atmosphere in which the poet did his work.
"Yes, Hughes' was clearly on the left, and this poem feels more left than most of his poetry." Graham said. "But you have to take into account that he was writing during the Great Depression, and that the social environment then was much different."
While Kerry typically recites only a few lines from the poem, Graham believed that his use thus far has captured the poem's spirit, and brought its meaning to a large national audience.
"We love the fact that the poem can transcend its period," she said.
But Tidwell warned that there was a danger for poetry to be exploited when it was included in political speech.
"You want to make sure that the spirit of the poem is captured, and that it isn't just being used for political purposes," Tidwell said.
Saferide delivers students for free
By Marc Ingber
mingber@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Edited by Julie Jones
In many cities, being stranded without a ride usually results in a walk or a taxi. But University of Kansas students have another option: Saferide.
Saferide is a service run through the KU on Wheels program to help students, drunk or sober, who need a ride home. Students can call 864-SAFE from 11 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. seven days a week for a free ride. Only KU students are allowed to use Saferide and they must present their KUID. Destinations must be within Lawrence city limits and the service will only take students to their residences — so you can't use Saferide for party-hopping.
Julia Coelho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, sophomore, said she used Saferide often because she didn't have a car.
"It's hard to find a way home sometimes." she said. "It's nice to
know I can rely on it."
Most of her friends use Saferide as well, she said, but she thought the service would be more beneficial offered earlier in the night.
Guillermo Goicochea, Lima, Peru, junior, agreed. He said Saferide did well getting students home safely, but since the service started at 11 p.m., those who didn't have cars had trouble getting to parties and bars. Students who live in West Lawrence have to drive to get to the bars on Massachusetts Street.
Unfortunately, many of them drive back after drinking instead of calling Saferide, said Natalie McAllister, Topeka sophomore.
"I don't think enough college students realize the repercussions of drunk driving." McAllister said.
Coelho said Saferide was a great benefit for people without cars, but people who did have cars didn't take advantage of it.

Sound of train's horn reminds of forgotten industry
By Jay Senter jsenter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
When the wind is blowing right, Everett McGaugh can hear the whistle of the trains running through Lawrence on the Union Pacific line. It is a reminder of the industry to which McGaugh dedicated 30 years of his life.
The son of a railway worker, he took a job with the Missouri Pacific line as soon as he got out of college. McGaugh followed railroad jobs around the country before retiring to Lawrence, where he is now active in a model railroad club. From time to time, he goes down to the old Union Pacific depot, north of the
river, to watch the trains roll by.
"I still love to watch the game," he said. "I'm just nostalgic, I guess."
University of Kansas student Craig Parker doesn't have to worry about which direction the wind is blowing if he wants a reminder that the trains are running. The St. Louis senior lives on Tennessee Street, just a few houses away from the tracks of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe line that runs through Lawrence along the south side of the Kansas River.
"It rattles the windows when it goes by," he said. "But I've lived here for two years, so I don't really pay attention to it anymore."
Whether from near or far, the sound of trains is the only connection most Lawrence residents have to an often-forgotten industry. But railroad freight has become increasingly important to American commerce over the past decade, as the industry has evolved into a high-volume, national freight shipment system.
Roughly 100 trains rumble through Lawrence on the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe lines on an average day. Union Pacific public affairs director John Bromley said that his company averaged 65 trains a day through Lawrence, most of which carry coal to power plants throughout the midwest and south.
While public perception holds that the golden era of railroads has
long since passed, in many ways the rail industry has entered the most productive phase of its long history.
"People tend to think of the heyday as the '30s or '40s, back in the days of steam engines and passenger trains," Bromley said. "But in terms of how much we are moving, the heyday is right now. Most people don't realize that because, aside from the horn noise, we are pretty much invisible."
Last year, trains shipped more freight than ever before. That growing demand, coupled with a wave of railroad employee retirement, has left the industry scrambling to find workers. The Association of American Railways estimates that the industry will have to hire 80,000
new employees over the next six years.
But train enthusiasts like McGaugh lament that the changes in the industry that allowed the recent growth have also taken away parts of the railroad that made it attractive.
The recent wave of increased rail traffic was made possible by the consolidation of several small, local rail lines into long, national lines in the 1970s and 1980s. That consolidation allowed the major lines to better coordinate their engines, and thus increase traffic. But it also took away some of the local flavor that appealed to train enthusiasts.
The consolidation of the train
lines led to a loss of the nostalgia." McGaugh said. "When you lost all of those small names, a lot of the local interest in the railroads disappeared."
But while McGaugh and his peers may mourn the loss of an era gone by, railroad traffic continues to grow. And that means Lawrence residents can expect to hear more trains chugging through town in the near future.
"We get complaints about the horns all the time, every day," Bromley said. "They complain that we blow them too loud, too much and at night. We almost never hear from people who like the horns."

Students get jobs for cash, kinship
Carly Pearson, Topeka junior, hands a customer her change at The Market in the Kansas Union. Pearson, who has worked at The Market for two years, said she appreciated working for a campus business because they were more flexible about her hours.

Jugling between being a full-time student and a part-time employee can be difficult at times. But when new students come to Lawrence, some find jobs have benefits beyond extra cash for the weekends.
Fawn Carroll, a recent graduate from Great Bend who works at The Market on the third floor of the Kansas Union, said having a part-time job could strengthen your social life rather than be a hindrance to it.
Carolyn Tharp, Lawrence junior, whisks eggs as part of breakfast preparation at Jubilee Café. Tharp, who was working on July 27, said she found out about volunteering at Jubilee Café through CCO's volunteer fair in the Union last year. On Saturday, August 21, Jubilee Café will hold an event as part of Hawk Week and in conjunction with CCO to get students involved in volunteering at the café by teaching them how to cook all of the food the café prepares.
"I'd definitely recommend getting a job," she said. "Even if it's a just a few hours, because you get to meet a lot of people."
Carroll recommended that freshman not work more than 10 hours per week so they could get accelimated to classes and University life.
Courtnev Kuhlen/KANSAN
Carly Pearson, a Topeka junior who also works at The Market, said working on campus had benefits over working elsewhere in Lawrence.
Kohl's, Old Navy, Target and Bath & Body Works, but had no luck because they were all looking for employees with more daytime availability.
"It's convenient," she said. "They are definitely more flexible about your schedule."
Kirk Isernhagen, general manager of Jimmy John's Gourmet Sub Shop, 1447 W. 23rd St., said a lack of daytime availability was the biggest problem with hiring students.
Pearson, who works about 20 hours per week, said when she was looking for a job she applied at places off campus such as
"You have to work around their class schedule, which is difficult at times," he said.
Another problem at Jimmy John's, which has about 50 percent student employees, is that none of the students want to work the night shift until 3 a.m. when they have a test the next day at 7 a.m., Isernhagen said.
He said students tended to make better delivery drivers because they were more familiar with the campus and its buildings.
Pearson, who started working at The Market as a freshman, said there were only a couple times when her job got in the way of studying, which she combated by staying up later.
"There seem to be those periods when all your tests are in one week," she said. "Those times are the hardest to find time to study."

Volunteer opportunities available

The Center for Community Outreach, which strives to promote volunteer among KU students, is in room 405 at the Kansas Union. According to the center, more than 7,000 students access its services. There are 14 student-based volunteer programs highlighted at CCO, not to mention numerous partnerships throughout the community.
Education in the classroom is just part of the learning experience at the University of Kansas. Beyond that you will meet new people and maybe take advantage of the volunteer opportunities on and off campus.
"If you're willing to volunteer on any level we'll find a place for you," said CCO co-director Katie Iensen.
Jensen and her co-director Mark Lyda said there were volunteer opportunities ranging from being a statistician to working with elderly. They said some of the volunteer requests they received from community organizations qualified as internships.
"It's a great experience, a good way to get involved and you learn a lot about yourself and the organization you volunteer for," she said. "You can explore different career interests while helping others."
Elizabeth Hamel, Chapman sophomore, began volunteering her first semester on campus because of requirements for two different classes. Volunteering was not new to her — she had volunteered since middle school. The volunteer program she focused on was called Mentoring in the Lives of Kids.
Lyda said it didn't matter what major a student had when they walked through the CCO doorway because there was some-

unning for everybody. If students have just one hour a week to spare, the center will have something demanding for them, he said. Lyda also said there were short-term volunteer opportunities, so not everyone had to commit to an entire year or semester.
Kylie Neal, Newton junior, is a pre-nursing major, but she volunteers and co-coordinates at the Jubilee Café.
The cafe, which is held at First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St., primarily serves homeless people breakfast Tuesday and Friday mornings from 6 to 9. Neal sought out
volunteering a little more than a year ago and has been dedicated to it ever since.
"You kind of build a relationship with them and you see them on Massachusetts Street and you know their name," she said.
Joe Alford, episcopal chapain for the Canterbury House, helped start the café about 10 years ago with four University students. The dedication and drive of the students has always surprised him, he said.
"It's been wonderful just having the people digging in and helping." he said.
Jubilee Café is one of the 14
student-based organizations run through CCO. Alford said he had turned away community and church help because he wanted students to have a place to volunteer.
Lyda said students should stop by the office and someone would be there to help place them with an organization they were happy with. He said his job was to facilitate people who wanted to volunteer.
"The most important people in CCO are the volunteers. It's what it's all about," Lyda said.

Recruitment begins a week earlier this year. Women will go through Recruitment during Hawk Week, the first week before school starts. Open House Rounds, day one and two, will take place on Sunday, August 15, and Monday, August 16. During Open House rounds, the prospective members will briefly visit all of the 13 chapters; seven on the first day and six on the second. After each of these rounds, prospective members will narrow their selection down to their eight favorite chapters. On Tuesday, August 17, the First Invitational round will take place.

Susan Henry, vice president of the Panhellenic Association, said the idea of the round is for the prospective members and chapter women to become better acquainted. Each prospective member will visit up to eight chapters.
These 40 minute events are longer than the Open House Round. The First Invitational Round is important because the prospective members have to rank their top five chapters in the voting process, and chapter women have to work to find the best group of women to form a pledge class, Henry said.
"If there was a formula for the Recruitment process, I would have a million dollars," Henry
said. "Chapters look for a wellrounded group of diverse women."
The Second Invitational Round, on Wednesday, August 18, allows prospective members to visit up to five chapters for 50 minutes each.
Often during this round, chapter women prepare entertainment or house tours for the prospective members, said Henry. After the Second Invitational, the prospective members will rank their top three houses.
The last round of Fall Formal Recruitment is the Preference Round. Prospective members will visit up to three chapters. Each visit is an hour long.
This is the most intimate night of Recruitment, Henry said. During Preference, chapter women prepare entertainment revealing chapter traditions.

Association
By this time, the chapter women and the prospective members have gotten to know each other well, and it is the last time they will see each other before Bid Night.
"Preference, round is so important," said Henry. "If a woman maximizes her options, she is guaranteed to receive a bid from one of the chapters she
visited on Preference."
On Preference, a prospective member has the option to maximize her options, meaning that she indicates on her voting sheet that she is willing to join any of the chapters that she visited on Preference.
"For example, if a woman is asked back to three houses on Preference, and she indicates on her voting sheet that she is willing to become a member of any of those houses, she is guaranteed a bid from one of her three houses," said Henry.

"If a woman is asked back to one house on Preference and she indicates that she wants to be a part of that chapter, she is guaranteed to receive a bid from that chapter," she said.
The prospective members receive their bids at 7 p.m. August 21 in Budig Hall. After which the woman get on a bus
An average of 772 women have participated in Fall Formal Recruitment in the last three years. Of those women, an average of 92 women release themselves from Recruitment, said Henry.
"These are women who get in the process and decide 'Hey, this is not for me,'" said Henry.
In addition, an average of 8 women are released from recruitment because they are not asked back to a chapter, and an average of 10 are released because they made a single intentional preference, Henry said. Chapters have a week to prepare for recruitment before school, she said.
Sexually transmitted diseases common among young adults

People 25 years or younger account for two-thirds of all sexually transmitted diseases, according to the American Social Health Association.
At least one-fourth of college students have or have had a sexually transmitted disease, said Henry Buck, Watkins gynecologist.
Many common STDs have no symptoms, meaning someone can have a disease and not even know it.
Though condoms offer some protection, they are not a reliable preventive because they leave parts of the body uncovered, Buck said.
Many common STDs, such as herpes, genital warts and mollus-
"There's a very common mis-conception with sexual education," Buck said. "The impression is given that if you use a condom everything will be okay. As nice as it would be to say condoms solve the problem - they don't."
cum, can be transmitted solely through touch, without every having penetrative intercourse.
"The only way to prevent STDs is not to come in contact with one," Buck said. "That's not a popular message, but it's an honest one."
Testing and treatment are important in preventing further spreading of STDs. Women are screened at Watkins at annual exams for chlamydia, and genital warts show up on pap smears, Buck said.
Men, however, often forego testing, fearing penile pain. Most do not realize that a urine test is now used to test for chlamydia and gonherrea — "not a tube shoved up the urethrea," Buck said.
The four most common STDs on campus are chlamydia, genital warts, herpes and molluscum. The following information on these STDs was compiled from the American College Health Association and Henry Buck.
Chlamvdia
intracellular bacteria that is transmitted through bodily fluids, most commonly by vaginal and anal sex.
Usually no symptoms develop, but women may experience an achy cervix, heaviness in the pelvic area, heavy discharge, breakthrough bleeding, heavy period and pain with urination or sex.
Left untreated, a woman may develop pelvic inflammatory disease. Tubal scarring, infertility and tubal pregnancies may also result.
Chlamydia trachomatis is an
Men may experience pain when urinating and discharge. Epididymitis may also occur, an inflammation of the epididymis, the cord-like structure in each testicle.
Chlamydia is treated with an antibiotic,
Condoms, if used correctly, can prevent the disease.
HPV/Genital Warts
Human papillomavirus is the most common STD among college students and is caused by condyloma acuminata, warty
lesions usually in or around the pubic area. The disease affects 10 percent of KU students and is spread through intercourse or touch - genital to genital or hand to genital. Condoms do not offer full protection.
Often no symptoms accompany the virus. Lesions, which can be raised or flat, may take months to years to develop and external lesions can sometimes itch.
Women with HPV may have an abnormal pap smear. If left untreated, some lesions may develop into cervical cancer, though it's rare.
Cryo freezing and laser treatments can treat cervical lesions. Treatments for external lesions include freezing, liquid nitrogen, laser and other therapies.
Lesions do not have to be present to sbread the disease to others.
Herpes simplex virus is transmitted through touch or intercourse. Condoms only partially protect the body. Fluid-filled blisters on the genitals are symptomatic of the disease. Painful rupturing occurs, taking up to 12 days
Herpes
No cure is available. Topical powders and gels can ease attacks. Antiviral drugs can help if taken early in an attack, and can prevent future attacks if taken perpetually.
Molluscum Contagiosum
Molluscum contagiousum virus, part of the pox virus group, is seen everyday at Watkins.
Transmission can occur through intercourse or touch. Condoms do not offer full protection.
Shiny, small, round lesions containing a white substance are found on the genitals and sometimes the thighs, stomach and chest. Lesions do not have to be present to spread the disease.
Lesions can be treated using cryo, scraping or chemicals.

HIVTESTING
Those most at risk have unprotected sex, use intravenous needles or have or have had another STD.
Many testing sites offer anonymous or confidential testing. No identification is needed with anonymous testing, an alias can be used.

Susana Ponce San Salvador, El Salvador, graduate student, hasn't had as much time as she would like to explore area sites. She said she had visited Clinton Lake and the Kansas City area, but beyond that she had only been in Lawrence.
"I don't know about the area, but I would like to explore more," Dominguez said.
There are shorter road trips that can get you away from Lawrence and the unforgiving demands of homework. Within the area, there is something for the history lover, the wine connoisseur and the outdoor person.

Kansas' historic first capital
In about 15 minutes you can end up in Lecompton. The town was the first territorial capital of Kansas and can easily be missed with a population of about 600.
can easily be missed Just head west on Sixth Street for four to five miles then take a right on Highway 1029 and follow the signs to the small town.
The first museum you will come to is called the Territorial Capital Museum, 640 E. Woodson Ave., formerly Lane University.
Lane University. The university is where Dwight D. Eisenhower's parents met and later married. The original plans for the building were for the state capital building, but by 1858 it was clear that Lecompton would not be selected as the capital of Kansas.
The museum contains artifacts from before the Civil War including cannon balls found in the Lecompton area. The museum is open weekly Monday through Saturday 11 a.m.to 4 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is based on donation.
Another sight is Constitution Hall, 319 Elmore St., which was made a historical site in 1986. The Lecompton Constitutional Convention met in this building to work on a constitution to make Kansas an official state, but it failed to pass.
The building also contains pre-Civil War artifacts.
The artifacts encompass Lecrompton's role in history.
The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $2 per adult and $1 per child.
Courtney Kuhlen/KANSAN Constitution Hall, 319 Elmore St., Lecompton, was named a historic site in 1886 and is now a museum. The bricks in the sidewalk out front date back to 1888.

The location began as an orchard in 1960, but became a commercial winery in 1997. Greg Shipe and his wife Charleke Glinka own and operate the winery.
A farmer's market with fresh cut flowers and vegetables just down the road is another attraction for visitors, Shipe said. Wine-tasting is free, but make sure to bring your driver's license.

If historic places aren't up your alley, then you might try some wine tasting in Eudora. To reach Davenport Vineyard and Winery, 1394 E. 1900 Road, drive four miles east on Highway 10 to County Road 1057, then drive north for half a mile.
Wine-purchasing and tasting are not the only fun to be had at the winery. People can schedule a time on Saturday mornings to pick grapes from the vineyard. After the morning picking, the owners provide lunch.

CLINTON LAKE
Courtnev Kuhlen/KANSAN
Nature's beauty outside Lawrence
Clinton Lake is west of Lawrence about 10 minutes on Clinton Parkway. The lake is divided between state and federal areas. Fees associated with the lake are different depending on which side you are on. The state side charges $6.50 per day to access the park. The federal side does not charge for access to the area, but does charge a daily usage fee to use the beaches, boat ramps or any other facility.
If wine and historic sites are still not grabbing your interest, maybe some outdoor activities at nearby Clinton Lake will get you.
The lake has trails, campsites, boat ramps and many other outdoor activities. There is even a restaurant on the state side called Jerkwater Grill. The menu includes items from seafood to homestyle meals. The resturant is open Friday through Sunday through Labor Day weekend.
Kansas is home to many places that can spark some interest or can provide a place to just get awav. For more Kansas trip locations, visit www.travelks.com.

Lawrence to hold Sesquicentennial celebration
By John Scheirman
jscheirman@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Throughout 2004 Lawrence has been holding events to recognize the 150th anniversary of the city's founding in 1854. These events, known as the Sequencentennial celebration, will culminate on the weekend of September 17, 18 and 19.
Haskell Indian Nations University will be celebrating its 120th anniversary in conjunction with the Lawrence Sesquicentennial celebration.
The Haskell events begin at 8 a.m. Friday, September 17, with a traditional blessing at the Fire Ring. "A Welcome to Haskell" ceremony will be held at 9 a.m. at Stidham Union. There will be
commemorative speeches in the Haskell auditorium from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and tours will be conducted from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
A traditional feast will be held at 5 p.m. at the gazebo.
At 6:45 p.m. in Haskell Stadium there will be a special presentation to acknowledge the long relationship between the Lawrence public schools and Haskell Indian Nations University. At 8 p.m. the Harvest Moon Ball will be held at Stidham Union.
Events at Haskell on Saturday, September 18 will begin at 8 a.m. with a traditional blessing at Haskell Cemetery.
At 10.a.m., Haskell will participate in the Lawrence Quincenennial parade in downtown
Lawrence. Haskell will have several floats in the parade, including one main float and several from student organizations.
The theme of Haskell's main float will be "Celebrating Haskell's past, present and future: a time of renewal." At 1 p.m. there will be gourd dancing at the Pow-Wow Grounds. At 5 p.m. there will be a celebration social Pow-Wow, featuring a grand entry and cultural dances featuring the California Pomo Bird Dancers and others.
Lori Tapahonso, public information officer for Haskell, said the university's inclusion in the city's celebration shows the progress that the two communities have made in forging a strong relationship.
"The city of Lawrence fought
very hard to have Haskell opened here in the 1880s," she said. "There was a grand celebration then. So it's really fitting that the city and Haskell celebrate anniversaries together, because it's telling of the strengths of each of the communities to survive obstacles in their paths."
Elsewhere in Lawrence, Saturday's events will include the Massachusetts Mile, a downtown run beginning at South Park.
At 10 a.m., a parade will begin at Watson Park, on Kentucky and Tennessee streets between Sixth Street and Seventh Street, and will proceed down Massachusetts Street to South Park. After the parade, a 150th birthday party will be held for the city of Lawrence.
Weather permitting, there will
be a festival featuring the Lawrence City Band, face painting, a tug of war and portraits taken in vintage clothing.
A pie-eating contest will begin at 1 p.m. and a beard contest will be held at 2 p.m. at the South Park gazebo. In the event of rain, the festival will be cancelled, but the birthday cake will be served at the Trinity Lutheran Church, 1245 New Hampshire St.
The Lawrence Sesquicentennial activities will continue on Sunday, September 19.
In addition to the events at Haskell, there will be a closing ceremony at 3 p.m. at Sesquientennial Point, near Clinton Lake. Events there, rain or shine, will include the burial of an official time capsule, to be opened in 2054.
There will also be music, entertainment and refreshments. The event is free. Sesquicentennial Point can be reached by taking Clinton Parkway west to 900E, 900E south to 902E exit, 902 E to the first road on the left (east) side of the road. You will see Sesquicentennial Point on your left.
More information about the events marking Lawrence's 150th anniversary can be obtained by contacting the Lawrence Sesquicentennial Commission at 842-6313, fairplay@sunflower.com or at its Web site www.lawrence150.org. Information is also available at the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau, 865-4411.
Annual Civil War program shows war's effect on Kansas
— Edited by Marc Ingber
By John Scheirman
jcheirman@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
"The Civil War on the Western Frontier: Lawrence, Kansas" is an annual program now in its ninth year. It is comprised of an array of events held at various locations in Lawrence that began August 9, and will continue through Sunday, August 22. There are 34 program segments. Activities include presentations, bus tours, horse-drawn trolley tours, a walking tour, exhibits and film screenings. Most of the events are free.
"The basic idea behind the event is to educate the public. It is not a celebration but a commemoration," said Susan Henderson, director of marketing for the Lawrence Convention & Visitors Bureau, 402 N. 2nd St. "It is a way to remind people about the importance of that
Civil War era and the importance of the Kansas territory and the issue of slavery."
The series is organized, but not sponsored, by the Lawrence Convention & Visitors Bureau, according to Henderson.
She said that sponsorship implied financial support, which the bureau does not provide, except for the printing of a brochure.
"There is not technically one sponsor of the event. A lot of volunteers come together to make it happen," she said. "The Convention & Visitors Bureau doesn't decide what events to do, the volunteers decide," she said.

19, also at the Watkins Museum, historian Arnold Schofield and the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War will present a program about the Civil War battle at Mine Creek, in Pleasanton. It was the largest Civil War battle in Kansas, and it stopped the Confederate forces from making further incursions into the state, Schofield said. Maps of the battlefield will be available at the event.
Stroud and his wife Jacque will appear and make presentations in character as Samuel J. Crawford, Kansas governor from 1864 to 1868, and his wife, Isabel. Crawford came to Kansas territory in 1859, and established a law practice. Later, as a Union Army cavalry colonel, he became a Civil War hero. As governor, Crawford supported funding for the University of Kansas, Stroud said.
From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 20, through Sunday, Aug. 22, an open house will be held at Hobbs Park, 10th and Delaware streets. The Murphy-Bromelick house, built shortly after the Civil War, was relocated to Hobbs Park to serve as a memorial to John Speer, an abolitionist newspaperman. Two of Speer's sons were killed at the site during William Quantrill's raid of Lawrence on August 21, 1863.
At 7 p.m. Thursday, August
An exhibit about the impact in Lawrence of the 1964 Civil Rights Act would be on display at the house.
From 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
Saturday, Aug. 21, John Jewell and Katie Armitage will lead a Quantrill's Raid walking tour of downtown Lawrence, beginning at Watkins Community Museum of History. Quantrill's band of pro-slavery guerrillas burned most of the downtown, and murdered a number of Lawrence men and boys there.
From 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 21, at South Park, Union Civil War re-enactors will conduct an encampment, which will include artillery cannon fire and equipment displays. The encampment will continue from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 22.
day, Aug. 21, a Quantrill's Raid bus tour will begin at the Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St., and will visit sites associated with the raid. The tour will be by air-conditioned bus, departing from Art Executive Park, at the northeast corner of Peterson Road and Kasold Drive, about one mile north of Sixth Street. The cost is $20 per person. Reservations are recommended; they can be made at 842-7271.
More information about the "Civil War on the Western Frontier: Lawrence, Kansas" events is available at the various locations mentioned above and at the Lawrence Convention & Visitors Bureau. A brochure listing all events, dates, times and places can be obtained there. The bureau's telephone number is 865-4499.

Umakanth Mogili Goud, Gadwal, India, graduate student in aerospace engineering, has worked on Pathfinder for two years and is in charge of, among other things, designing the torque coil that will keep the satellite from spinning out of control while in orbit. Pathfinder's tiny stature has made this an especially trying task for him.
As a student at Iowa State University, Tom Kent, 24, helped develop a CubeSat program similar to the University's. Kent's work as an embedded software engineer for Boeing's Integrated Defense Simulation Department in St. Louis has allowed him to understand why projects like Pathfinder are so amazing.
"For me, the most difficult part was, at first, the belief that this was possible," Goud said. "Because it's so small it's hard to believe that it's possible to fit all the pieces inside."
things into space is about $10,000 per pound, the goal of every space program has always been to cut as much weight as possible," he said. "A few short years ago, something like this would have been impossible, but thanks to the rapid miniaturization of electronics it is not only possible but many groups are doing it."
"Because the cost of launching
Not including paid summer workers, Pathfinder's success depends entirely on the drive of student volunteers. The satisfaction that comes from creating something where there was nothing before and the field experience gained is what Villa said drove the students.
"This is great," he said. "They get to do what they're going to do professionally once they leave the University."
Most students who have contributed to the project will see the culmination of their efforts when Pathfinder is launched. Even though Pathfinder will burn up when it eventually enters earth's atmosphere once again, Villa said the opportunity to be a part of such a momentous project was rewarding enough.
"If you have a little passion in space exploration," he said. "If you're intrigued just a little bit by it, the possibility to work on something that's really going to make it in space, that alone is enough."

Software keeps tabs on tempted Christians
Mark Brown sees students struggle with Internet pornography every year.
Many live in fraternity houses, where the use of pornography is so widespread that it is impossible to avoid.
Others are simply lonely, isolated in their dorm rooms with nothing to prevent them from succumbing to the temptation.
Since the Internet became widely available in the late 1990s, Brown, director of the University of Kansas branch of Campus Crusade for Christ, has counseled college students who struggle to reconcile the temptations of Internet pornography with their desire to lead a Christian lifestyle.
But finding an effective remedy frequently proved a difficult task.
"In some ways a filter just invites a competitive spirit," Brown said.
When he first began counselling students with the problem, Brown would advise them to install filtering software on their computers.
In extreme cases, he would recommend that students get rid of their computers altogether. For some, the temptations of the Internet were just too strong.
Often it didn't work. The students would find ways to circumvent filters and feed their addiction.
But Brown thinks he has found an effective answer to the problem
of Internet pornography addiction in software called Covenant Eyes — a pay-for-use program that would strike many Internet users as unacceptable invasive.
Covenant Eyes is not a filter. In fact, its creators believe that keeping access to the Internet unrestricted is essential to addressing the temptation of Internet porn. Instead, the program provides "Internet accountability" by allowing an outside party to monitor a person's Internet habits.
Once installed on a computer, Covenant Eyes, which gets its name from a verse in the book of Job, keeps a record of every Web page the user visits.
Using the information from those scans, Covenant Eyes assigns an "appropriateness" score to each site visited, and generates a total usage report for the subscriber.
The program then checks each Web address against a database of pornographic sites, and scans the sites' text for "flag" words.
That report is then made available on a monthly or bi-monthly basis to the subscribers"accountability partners."the one or two people subscribers choose to monitor their Internet usage.
Covenant Eyes vice-president Lynn McClurg said the program worked by taking away a key contributor to cyber-sex addiction: secrecy. The Covenant Eyes theory is that the Internet user won't be tempted to visit pornographic sites if they know their Web activity is being monitored.
"You can go to legitimate medical research sites on breast cancer or other things, and they will receive a score." McClurg said.
the program was not perfect.
Covenant Eyes also provides training materials to accountability partners teaching them how to read the reports, and what to do if a user appears to be visiting questionable sites.
But McClurg conceded that
"The whole get is to get people talking," McClurg said. "The accountability partner is going to contact the user and say, 'Harry, John or Sally can you explain to me what you're doing over here at this site?'"
Subscribers pay between $2.50 and $6.95 a month for the service. With some 20,000 users worldwide, that means Covenant Eyes brings in a considerable revenue stream. But McClurg said the pricing structure was devised to cover only basic operational costs and provide Covenant employees with a living wage, not to make a profit.
While leaders on college campuses, like Brown, who has included a link to the Covenant Eyes Web site on the Campus Crusade for Christ's homepage, have endorsed the program for use among students, it's primary users are ministers and church staff members. Brown and another staff member at Campus Crusade for Christ subscribe to the program.
"All of the leaders of church ministry need to be accountable on the Internet because there is a lot of temptation there, and if they stray, it can cause a lot of devastation in
theirministry." McClurg said.
And, as Brown has experienced, serving as an adviser to students who are dealing with the problem of pornography addiction can provide ministers themselves with an unanticipated source of temptation.
Before coming to Kansas, Brown served as a Crusade for Christ leader at Northwestern University. It was there, during the late 1990s, that he first encountered students who were struggling with Internet pornography.
"When you sit down with students who say, 'I'm struggling with this, and this is what I did, and this is how I did it,' you are armed with an arsenal of information that could be self destructive." Brown said.
While it might seem strange that religious men are ones openly confronting the issue of pornography, it is their very religious beliefs that cause devout Christians to view pornography as a more serious problem than their secular peers. Brown said that many Christian men feel heavy pressure to keep free of sin. As such, when they do slip up, they may be more inclined to keep their problems secret — a pattern which can fuel the escalation of a problem.
"Christians have really struggled with secret second lives," Brown said. "With the software program you are saying, 'I really want to bring this thing to light, and I want to deal with my own struggles.'"

Apartment complexes battle for residents
For Ryne Tusten, Olathe sophomore, the tough decision this spring was not which apartment complex to sign with for the fall, but which deal was better.
As a future resident of Leanna Mar Townhomes, 4501 Wimbledon Drive, Tusten was offered either a half month free rent or a surround sound stereo system for signing the lease. He and his roommates chose the stereo system.
"It was pretty nice, they had it set up in an apartment on a TV and everything and we went and tried it out," Tusten said.
In reaction to the highest tenant shortage in six years, many Lawrence apartment complex managers launched extensive marketing campaigns, rent and deposit discounts and giveaway specials in an attempt to compete with the newly-built apartments. Other apartment complex managers chose to do nothing but sit and wait for the tenants to return. Surprisingly, both of these
enrolled this past spring set a new record of 25,348 students.
It is hard to know if Lawrence is really past the tenant shortage recorded in 2003. As of now, no one has conducted a newer survey of the apartment situation. But, according to several apartment complex employees, the initial survey conducted in 2003 may not have been accurate or reliable.
√
"A lot of people don't give out their occupancy when people are doing marketing surveys, so you don't really know if they are telling the truth or not," Green said.
Danielle Green, an employee at Legends Apartments, 4104 W. 24th Place, said many apartment employees lie to or do not respond to marketing surveys.
In August 2003, a local real estate appraisal firm, Keller & Associates, surveyed 35 percent of the total apartment market in Lawrence to find the average occupancy rate. Property managers reported their average occupancy at 92.3 percent, down from about 94 percent in 2001. The occupancy rate for August, 91.7 percent, was far lower than previous years. In August 2001, occupancy rate was more than 96 percent.
responses produced the same result - the return to a normal occupancy rate. This outcome is causing confusion over whether the supposed abundance of apartment complexes in Lawrence was ever a problem at all.
Linda Love, apartment manager at Park-25 Apartments, 2401 W. 25th St., experienced only 88 percent occupancy this past school year, almost 10 percent lower than normal. As of June 17, the complex only had a few one-bedroom apartments left.
"It is not a unique situation, every several years building gets ahead of the demand," Stogsdill said.
However, complaints from landlords that Lawrence's apartment market is already over-saturated haven't swayed developers from pushing for new complexes.
Sheila Stogsdill, assistant director of planning on the Lawrence Planning Commission, said at least three plans for new apartments are before the committee this month. Plans include adding on to the existing Legends Apartments and adding 18 apartment units on East 24th Street.
Love offered specials to renters such as one-month free rent. She
also allowed the one-month free rent to be spread out over a 12-month period, which equaled $50 off of each month's rent.
Tim Keller of Keller & Associates said he and his staff have no way of verifying information they receive from landlords. He also said that individual managers have different interests and have different reasons to lie to marketing surveys based on how they want the market to change.
Stogsdill disagreed with claims that Lawrence was becoming overbuilt. She said that while there had been problems in the apartment market in Lawrence, these issues had always solved themselves in the past.
It also helps that enrollment at the University of Kansas is increasing. According to The Oread, the number of students

Import stores cater to international tastes
By Jon Ralston jralston@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
Lawrence residents have more opportunities than ever to indulge their taste buds with products from around the world.
With more than 10 import stores in Lawrence, the market has yet to be cornered.
The Cost Plus World Market 3106 South Iowa St., is the newest import store to open in Lawrence. It is one of eight stores opened by the San Francisco chain in the past year. The company's net income was $3.3 million in this year's first quarter, almost a 30 percent increase from one year ago, according to the company's Web site.
Local import stores aren't worried that a larger chain store will drive them out of business.
"Downtown is a whole different
world than 31st and Iowa," Melissa Padgett, store manager of Third Planet, 846 Massachusetts St., said. "It's like it's two different cities."
She said she thought the acceptance of a diverse number of religions was another reason for good business, and pointed out the popularity of Buddhism.
"i think that this town is such a cultural crossroads. More people are decorating in a more diverse way," Padgett said. "Nothing says Christmas like a little, red Buddha."
The World Market and the local stores represent two types of import stores: the larger store that carries a variety of goods from around the world and the smaller store that carries specific imports.
Wiley, program coordinator in the University of Kansas's Office of Study Abroad.
"I think those two models can coexist. People can benefit from the bulk model and also the specialization model," said David
Wiley said import stores may have become more popular because the city had reached a critical mass of people.
Another example Wiley offered, was media. The Food Network and cookbooks provide culturally-specific recipes. Stores such as the Mediterranean Market and Cafe, 3300 W. 15th St., offer regional food supplies and ingredients that are hard to come by anywhere else.
"People have these recipes and need a particular ingredient that they can only get at these stores," Willey said.
Students participating in study abroad programs also contribute.
Wiley said foreign students shopped at import stores to find products they couldn't get anywhere else.
Brits, 732 Massachusetts St..
"In the first two or three days the exchange students from Scotland are here, they are in Brits lining up to buy Imi-Bru." Wiley said.
carries a drink popular in Scotland called Im-Bru, described as having a mild, citrus-vanilla flavor, that is not popular in the United States.
Internet sales have been increasing along with in-store sales for stores such as Au Marche, 931 Massachusetts St., that have a Web site where customers from all over the country can order its products.
Lora Wiley, managing owner of Au Marche and wife of David, said that business in her store had increased each year in the six years it had been open.
She and Trish Jess, director of operations for Third Planet, have visited the World Market and are not worried about the new store hurting their businesses.

Aging house waiting for renewal, residents
Edited by Joe Burke
EP
By Erik Johnson ejohnson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
For now, the house at 1033 Kentucky St. resists on four sets of railroad ties stacked three-wide and 16 high.
Entering the front door requires a gymnast-like walk, across a steel beam about 10 feet above the exposed concrete basement floor.
Inside, the first floor is visibly uneven from room to room. Walls and ceilings are cracked and crumbling. One window is partially broken and others completely knocked out have been covered with plastic.
"Welcome to my home," said Rachel Merz, Lawrence sophomore and future resident of Lawrence's newest co-op house.
Until April, this house — named "Ad Astra" by Merz and other future residents — sat for almost a century at 1309 Ohio St.
Once the former home of A.M. Wilcox, for which the Wilcox Classical Museum is named, it was donated by the Kansas Alumni Association after the lot where it stood was designated the future site of the Dennis E. Rieger Scholarship Hall.
The University of Kansas Student Housing Association, which owns the Sunflower House, 1406 Tennessee St, and another co-op house on 1614 Kentucky St., hired Chris Baker, Weatherby Lake, Mo., senior, to oversee moving and ensure progress on the reconstruction was being made.
Baker and a few other volunteers worked hard through the spring semester to make the house livable once again.
But when summer finally came, Baker found himself alone most of the time, staring at a badly beaten up house in need of some serious work.
Courtnev Kuhlen/KANSAN
"Things have been incredibly slow lately." Baker said as he searched for an evasive cordless drill. "It's hard because everybody goes home or has to get a full-time job during the summer so they can't get down here to help as often."
The upside, he said, is the opportunity to save a big house with some history.
Lawrence senior, said those who had been able to help rebuild understand that they're not being paid like they would at a 40-hour-a-week job.
Volunteer Aaron Paden.
Bakers biggest construction challenge may not be leveling uneven floors or repairing torn walls.
Christopher Baker, Weatherby Lake, Mo., fifth-year architecture and engineering student, sits atop one of the crossbeams supporting the weight of the Ad Astra house, 1033 Kentucky St. Sitting where front steps will eventually be, Baker was perched above the basement that he and volunteers have focused most of their attention on.
He said construction always cost more than originally estimated, and banks wouldn't give loans on the house because it had no value until it was occupiable, forcing Baker to turn elsewhere for much needed funds.
The house has received private loans from a number of sources: $100,000 from the Sunflower co-op, $20,000 from the Lawrence Preservation Alliance and $50,000 from private sources. The house itself was free, and the owner of the lot agreed to suspend payment requests for one year so residents could move in and acquire rent to pay.
Ad Astra was originally intended to be an Appropriate Technology house, which means it would use environmentally friendly construction materials and renewable methods of using water and energy.
But construction delays, a lack of consistent volunteers and rising costs have put this venture low on the priority list for now.
"There's been some talk about installing a solar water heater," Baker said. "But for now we're just trying to make this place livable, so we'll worry about that later."
Valley Moving of Wamego is scheduled to remove the aging railroad ties sometime this week, Baker said, which will allow the house to drop five-to-seven-inches onto permanent supports.
Baker and volunteers then have to create an entire basement from the bare wooden frame and enough space for four of the house's 10 rooms.
Ad Astra will likely not see completion — or at least occupiable conditions — until the middle or end of October, later than the expected September move in date.
This additional delay means 10 KU students may be without a place to sleep for half a semester, a problem that doesn't seem to bother Baker.
"i had a friend couch-surf at my place for a month and a last half-lum
mer," he said. "So I figure she owes me."

Wheat State Pizza opens
Rich Morrell, associate vice provost of student success at the University of Kansas, ate with a group of four other Lawrence residents at Wheat State on Friday. Morrell said he liked the crust and that the group would return.
Murphysaid Wheat State Pizza's biggest advantage may be the whole wheat crust he designed himself, using more sugar to make the crust taste sweeter.
The lack of a national advertising budget will force him to keep prices lower than the competition — a large, one-topping pizza is $1 less than Papa John's and offer menu options other stores won't have, such as Silas and Mady's ice cream, Murphy said. He hopes local support will help the business.
Kansas City-based Devlin Partners, L.L.C., franchises 35 Papa John's stores throughout Kansas and western Missouri. Scott MacHardy, general manager of Papa John's Lawrence store, said sales vary from year to year, but the Lawrence location is consistently one of Devlin Partners and Lawrence's top pizza shops.
By Erik Johnson ejohnson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Economic ailments and carbounting diet obsessions aside, Murphy said his shop could succeed in a highly competitive environment because local residents found Lawrence-based businesses more appealing.
A slumping economy and an Atkins-crazed America has been tough on the pizza industry, but national chains don't feel the pinch quite like local stores because an established national base allows chains to absorb minor losses easier, said MacHardy.
With six years of Lawrence pizza experience — three at Papa John's Pizza, 2233 Louisiana St., and three at Domino's Pizza, 832 Iowa St. — Murphy said he wanted to develop his own pizza using ingredients he knew women would prefer.
After sampling 24 different cheeses, he settled on a Wisconsin cheese that was not flash-frozen during production like cheese found at most national chains.
Ryan Murphy wanted to silence the stomachs of students and local residents with higher-quality ingredients and a far-from-corporate, local feel when he opened the doors to Lawrence's seventeenth pizza shop.
Murphy, Eudora resident, opened Wheat State Pizza Thursday in The Malls shopping center, 711 W.23rd St., in the former space of Godfather's Pizza.
"They know we'll put more time into their food," Murphy said. "We're not going to serve anything that's less than perfect."

Abandoned animals need shelter
By Julie Jones
jones@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Every May and December animals are left in dumpsters and ditches by college students who are moving and unable to take their pets with them.
Fortunately for these animals, 80 to 90 percent are adopted. Only animals with severe illnesses and aggressive temperaments are euthanized.
In the height of these seasons, the Lawrence Humane Society is filled to capacity, housing about 800 animals.
"Lawrence is filled with people who can't take care of pets," said Midge Grinstead, Lawrence Humane Society Director. "They often mean well and pass the application process, but they really don't have time to spend with it."
Moving is also an issue and is the number one reason pets are
THE PET DECISION
Ask yourself the following questions before becoming a pet owner
How many times will you be moving in the next four years? Can your pet handle the stress?
**Can you afford a pet?** Shots, spaying, neutering, food, toys, grooming, kennelling, litter and leashes add up quickly. Dogs can cost $200 to $1,400. Cats cost $400 to $500.
Can you afford pet deposits and pet rent?
- Do you have enough time to spend with your animal?
- Is your lifestyle healthy for an animal?
Here are a few tips from the Lawrence Humane Society, Gentle Animal Care Hospital and American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to ensure pet's safety and happiness.
Never leave pets in a parked car for any time during the summer. Temperatures inside a car can reach 100 degrees, killing your pet
Some common plants, such as easter lily, peace lily, philodendron (kv), aloe, amaryllis, daffodil and zales are toxic to animals.
in as little as ten minutes.
Never feed your animal caffeine, nicotine, chocolate or alcohol.
Pets need regular grooming, dogs more so than cats.
Cats need a scratching post. Rubbing cat nip along the sides will help them to use it. If your cat prefers to scratch your furniture, try putting double-sided tape where they scratch.
ing their pets. So they get a pet at college, but soon neglect it because they underestimated the time and cost involved. Because of this, the Lawrence Humane Society tries not to target students for adopting its animals, Grinstead said.
But many college students don't think about it, Grinstead said. They are away from home and start miss-
dumped in U.S. Humane Societies
"The best thing to do is volunteer to get a dog fix or a cat fix," Grinstead said. "Lots of students help
out by playing with the animals, grooming and brushing them. It's good for them."
"If you don't want a pet to play a role in where you live, then don't get one," said Catherine Peace, a vet-technician at Gentle Care Animal Hospital. "Really think about it before you do it."
Grinstead said if a student came in wanting to adopt an animal, she talked with them, helping them gage if they were realistically able to handle the responsibility.

Two kittens await adoption at the Lawrence Humane Society. College students thinking about adopting a pet must carefully consider the responsibility, said Midge Grinstead, director of the Lawrence Humane Society. Grinstead said many students end up giving away their pets once they move.

Grad student murdered

KANSAN STAFF WRITERS
Prosecutors yesterday charged a 17-year-old with the murder of a University of Kansas graduate student who was found dead in Overland Park Tuesday, according to authorities at the Overland Park Police Department.
Police discovered the body of Teri Lea Mathis Zenner, who was working on her masters degree in the school of social welfare, when they responded to a call about a house fire in Overland Park.
Andrew Ellmaker, who was found running from the home where Mathis

Mathis Zenner, an Olathe native, would have turned 27 today. She left behind a husband and young daughter.
When officers arrived at 12623 W. 105th St., they could see smoke coming from the residence, said Simon Happer, Overland Park Police Department captain.
Andrew Ellmaker's mother, Mary Ellmaker, 61, was outside the house when the police arrived and had been stabbed, Happer said. She told police Mathis Zenner was dead inside the residence, Happer said.
Happer said that Mary Ellmaker was taken to a nearby hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

Andrew Ellmaker is in custody at the Johnson County Juvenile Detention Center, the Associated Press reported. In addition to murder charges, Ellmaker will face an aggravated battery charge for the stabbing of his mother, according to the Associated Press
The Associated Press reported that Paul Morrison, Johnson County District Attorney, has filed a motion to have Andrew Ellmaker waived into adult court, and will have his first court appearance Aug. 24.

said Mathis Zenner, a case manager for the center, was on the job when she was murdered.
According to the KU School of Social Welfare Web site, Mathis Zenner had been assigned to Johnson County Mental Health Center for her field practicum from Fall 2003 to Spring 2004. A field practicum is hands-on experience in the profession, which is required to obtain a degree in the School of Social Welfare.
Alice Lieberman, associate professor in social welfare, said the incident left her stunned, but she didn't think it was indicative of the field.

Students lean over the second balcony of the Lied Center to get a better view of Chancellor Robert Hemenway during Convocation yesterday evening. Hemenway stressed student safety and encouraged students to build a united, diverse community at the University of Kansas.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Words of advice from KU Chancellor Robert Hemenway ranged from safety to community.
But the one tip that might stick in freshmen's minds today is simple: The bars will card you.
Hemenway delivered the 139th Opening Convocation at the Lied Center last night that officially welcomed students to the University of Kansas.
Besides bar advice, Hemenway reminded students that now on their own they must be safe, celebrate diversity and create communities.
Hemenway's Convocation speeches from previous years are highlighted by his Sept. 13, 2001, address in which he addressed the state of KU after Sept. 11. His 2002 address emphasized the academic achievements of the University.
After a video presentation and the national anthem was sung, David Shulenburger, provost and executive vice chancellor, welcomed the students and introduced the other KU officials on stage.
Student body president Steve Munch offered a more light-hearted welcome and asked students to think about what they wanted from their college experience, emphasizing that the degree was important, but it wasn't everything.
Joe Sicillian, chair of the University Senate Executive Committee, encouraged students to take the opportunity to become friends with people from other cultures and to learn as much as they could in an age when human knowledge was advancing faster than ever before.

Hemenway began his address by acknowledging students' technological knowledge and encouraged them to share their new ideas, interpretations and viewpoints.
He said the University prided itself on being a student-centered university and cautioned students to keep each other safe, referencing Eric Wellhausen, a student who fell to his death last year from his Oliver Hall window, and Andy Marso, a 2004 graduate who contracted meningitis last spring and is still recovering.
He stated the University's responsibility to be a laboratory for democracy and formally invited the students to be a part of the KU community.
Joshua Bender, St. Louis freshman, said after the Convocation that it was a good way to start off the year and felt that Hemenway and other officials were approachable, friendly and made the students feel united.
"I really felt like we were a whole family." Bender said.

Erin Shipps would not be going to school this semester without help from the University of Kansas and federal grants. The Topeka senior started paying for her education herself when she got married in April 2003. After marrying her high school sweetheart, Glenn Shipps, she realized what a burden tuition was on her mother.
"The grants help a lot," Shipps said. "I wouldn't be able to afford tuition without them."
The University is in the third year of a five-year tuition increase plan approved by the Board of Regents in 2002. "We do not wish to continue the tuition increase," said Provost David Shulenburger. "Students have definitely fulfilled their responsibility for this five-year plan."
A small portion of the tuition increases go to expanding the grant program, said Brenda Maigaard, director of student financial aid.
The same grant program benefits Shipps.
Paying for tuition is difficult even though Shipps' husband works full time and Shippws waieresses part time, she said.

Meal plans now offer more on-campus options
BY Ross Fitch
rfitch@kansan.com
KANSU STAFF WRITER
The University of Kansas Memoria Unions and the Department of Student Housing merged this summer. With a goal of serving students, the departments have reorganized meal plans.
Five plans offer a combination of housing meals and KU Cuisine cash and two plans offer KU Cuisine cash only. The housing meals are meals served in residence hall cafeterias.
Seven KU Cuisine options now offered allow students the flexibility to eat at various campus dining locations. The plans — a combination of housing meals and campus cash — are available to all students and faculty.
When students select a plan with KU Cuisine cash, their KUID becomes a
This is far different from the meal plans in the past. Last year, residence hall students chose meal plans consisting of 19, 13 or seven meals per week. These plans also were not available to off-campus students.
debit card to use at campus diners, such as The Market in the Kansas Union and all convenience stores throughout campus. When students' KU Cuisine cash runs out, they can simply add money by recharging their KU card through the Kyou Portal online using credit cards.
"Prior to the merger, we could only serve students in the halls," Golledge said. "It's a broader University community-type plan."
Nona Golledge, associate director for residential dining, said KU Cuisine gave the Department of Student Housing a chance to serve more students.
Jay Glatz, associate director of dining services for the KU Memorial Unions, said the merger took place in order to benefit all the students.
Glatz said that by giving students the flexibility to eat wherever they want on campus, the University had become similar to other campuses.
In the past, KU Memorial Unions were not able to accept students' meal plans as payment for food.
"We're giving them options they didn't have before." Glatz said.
The costs of the KU Cuisine meal plans range from $200 up to $3,050. Glatz said the costs of the meal plans put the University in the middle of other Big 12 schools.
Brandon Markway. Olathe freshman,
has never known any different, because
this is his first semester, but is still excited about the options.
ed about the options "I like the versatility of being able to eat anywhere with my card," Markway said.
Lauren McCoy, Overland Park freshman, said she thought KU Cuisine was a good idea because it was easy to use. She especially liked the KU Cuisine cash option.
Even with the available options, some students said they would still predominantly eat at their residence hall cafeterias. Because the housing meals were already paid for, Madeline Layton, Overland Park freshman, said she would mainly eat at Mrs. E's because it was closer.
"It's kind of like free money," she said.

Car not at fault in Chief's death
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The family of former Kansas City Chiefs star Derrick Thomas is not entitled to any money from General Motors Corp. for the crash that killed the nine-time Pro Bowl linebacker, a jury ruled Tuesday.
Thomas' mother, Edith Morgan, his seven children and their five mothers sued GM, seeking at least $75 million.
They claimed Thomas was fatally injured when the roof of his Chevrolet Suburban caved in during the Jan. 23, 2000, crash.
The automaker's attorneys said during the month-long trial in Jackson County Circuit Court that Thomas was killed not because of faulty design of his 1999 Suburban, but because he was
driving too fast for the snowy conditions, and was ejected from the vehicle because he was not wearing his seat belt.
Thomas was paralyzed from the neck down. He died 16 days later from complications.
complications His best friend, Michael Tellis, who also was not wearing a seat belt, died at the scene.
Morgan, who started the "Buckle Up for Derrick" campaign soon after her son's death to urge Kansas City motorists to wear seat belts, said she was disappointed in the decision, but her family would survive.
A third person in the vehicle, who was wearing a seat belt, walked away unharmed.
"It's not surprising," plaintiffs' attorney Michael Piuez said of the jury's decision. "The problem with this case is that in the last four years since he got hurt, there has been an awful lot of publicity that Derrick Thomas was at fault, that Derrick Thomas was not wearing a seat belt."
"We're going to be strong and fight the good fight of faith," she said. "It has been very, very tough to relive these incidents all over again. Even if they would have awarded something, it couldn't have taken the place of my son."
Piuze said this was his fifth rollover case against a U.S. automaker, and the first one he has lost.
She said she would take her campaign to strengthen automobile roofs to other National Football League cities where she frequently has spoken about the need to wear seat belts.
Fraternity wins best chapter award at national ceremony
The Kansas Alpha chapter of Phi Kappa Psi accepted the best overall chapter in the United States award at the fraternity's 72nd annual convention in San Diego.
The fraternity established the award in 1992 to recognize overall chapter excellence including scholarship achievement, organization financial management, member education and philanthropic projects.
Eight active members travelled to the convention. Ben Cohen, Overland Park junior and chapter president accepted the award with Blake Shuart, Topeka senior and former president.
Distinction calendar shows women's accomplishments
Austin Caster
The 2004-2005 KU Women of Distinction calendar is hot off the presses as of Tuesday and ready for distribution.
The calendar is in its second year of existence and is organized by an academic year instead of a regular calendar year. The calendar is sponsored by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, and is free to the public.
It is available at the KU Bookstore in the Kansas Union and will also be available at different locations throughout campus during Hawk Week.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director for the resource center, said the idea for the calendar came from the Women's Recognition Program, which honors women for their accomplishments and achievements. Rose-Mockry said the calendar made it possible to acknowledge some of these women for their accomplishments throughout the entire year.
"These women are so accomplished that they exceed the norm," Rose-Mockry said.
KU students and faculty provided nominations for the Women of Distinction calendar last spring and a selection process took place. The women on this year's calendar include one KU alumni, three KU faculty/staff and 13 KU students.
A 2004 Woman of Distinction Barbara Anthony-Twarog, professor in the department of physics and astronomy, said she was flattered and touched to be included on the calendar.
"There's a lot of interesting, intelligent and beautiful women on campus," Anthony-Twarog said.

Hawk Week introduces school pride
Bv Ross Fitch

RFITCH STARF WINTER
All the regulars showed up at the University of Kansas Hawk Week activities.
There were the wide-eyed freshmen, University officials, student volunteers and, of course, Elvis. Well, Elvis wasn't exactly a regular, but he sure made things interesting at Unionfest.
Hawk Week, a University tradition, is designed to introduce freshmen and new students to campus.
The events, starting Sunday with Unionfest, drew an estimated combined crowd of 10,000 students.
At Unionfest, students played a variety of games, including blackjack, for a chance to win prizes.
Some students went away with socks, while others took home gift certificates and CDs.The prizes were welcomed.
Brian Wells, Derby freshman said free stuff was always good and it made Hawk Week enjoyable.
But free stuff wasn't the only
reason for going, said Marcus Melander, Chanute freshman. He really enjoyed learning all the traditions, getting to sing and especially meeting new people, he said.
Melander attended Traditions Night, a University star-studded introduction to the chants, songs and history of the University.
Richard Johnson, dean of students, used his speaking time to tell students how to root for the "Hawks: "I'm a Jayhawk" and the correct beak for the Imperial March song were two of the traditions Johnson spoke about.
Marles Roney, vice provost for student success; Steve Munch, student body president; and Bonnie Henrickson, new coach of the women's basketball team, were just some of the other University higher-ups who spoke.
Each talked about pride for the University and the history that each freshman inherits.
"I feel a lot better about being a lashvah. "Melander said.
The parking lot was filled with food, games and music. Students also enjoyed a blow-up slide and laser tag arena.
After Traditions Night, most of the freshmen headed over to the Visitor's Center parking lot for
Rock-A-Hawk.
Beach 'N' Boulevard was Tuesday evening. More than 30 campus organizations had booths, giving away information and often candy.
Jeffrey Robinson, Garnett senior and member of the American Baptist Student Fellowship, said he thought Beach 'N Boulevard was much better organized this year, with more students and more interest in the various student organizations than there had been in previous years.
Rachel Peart, Overland Park junior and SUA member, said the turnout for Beach 'N' Boulevard and the other events was the highest she had seen in her years at the University. She was surprised by the excitement.
"We've never had students dancing in the streets," she said.
Not all students at Hawk Week were freshmen or affiliated with an organization.
Jael Hall, San Antonio sopho
more, said this was her second year at Hawk Week and she always enjoyed it. She said she always learned something new at Beach 'N' Boulevard.
"I always run into some group I didn't know existed," Hall said.
The feeling from upper classmen attending Hawk Week was that it was important in helping freshmen adjust to college.
Will Lamborn, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior, said coming to KU as a freshman can be scary, and he thought this year was great.
"it's better than last year," Lamborn said. "the best I've seen."
After all events wrapped up, Elvis remains the most entertaining icon.
Throughout his show, Elvis sang the typical songs, but also included random covers. But that wasn't all of Elvis' creativity.
At one point, Elvis was off the stage walking toward a group of women, serenading them. His attempt to get them in the show, however, was unsuccessful.

Freshman elections provide quick way to get involved
By LAURA FRANCOVIGILIA
lfrancoviglia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
For the second time in University of Kansas history, freshmen will have the opportunity to represent their class by becoming student senators.
"It's an opportunity for them to look around while everyone else is still trying to figure things out," said Arthur Jones, Student Executive Committee chair. "It's their chance to get their voice out."
Jones, Dallas junior, said it was important to have freshmen in Student Senate because they could give a voice to concerns unique to first-year students.
"Once they're sophomores, they're oblivious to what they
cared about the first few weeks they were in school." Jones said.
The Student Executive Committee made amendments during the summer to the freshmen elections. Jones said he hoped a revamped system for freshmen senate elections would improve voter turnout and the productivity of the elected freshmen senator
Elections will be held Sept. 8 and 9, much earlier than last year's November election. Freshmen can vote for five freshmen senators online from any computer on campus.
Jamie Hollenberg, who was a candidate in last year's freshmen senate election, said she thought freshmen who were senators had an advantage over others who wanted to participate in Student
Senate later on. Hollenberg received 46 votes in last year's election, which was not enough to give her a seat in senate.
"It's a great opportunity once you're in," said Hollenberg, St. Louis sophomore. "You can progress from there."
Jones said he hoped holding the elections at an earlier date would improve voter turnout. He said the freshmen class tended to be more energized and interested in being involved in the University at the beginning of the school year. He said students were already apathetic by last year's November election.
Jones said voter turnout was dismal last year, with about 2 percent of the freshmen class voting.
Jones said freshmen have diffi
culty running on issues because they are new to the University.
Hollenberg she said she felt disadvantaged because no one advertised the election and information about the candidates was not available to voters.
Freshmen will be able to campaign the week of the elections. Jones said freshmen who are serious about being senators should meet everyone they can and tell them they are running for senate.
"Stand out of Mrs. E's for two nights in a row." Jones said. "It's possible to get elected, but it depends on the ingenuity and perseverance of the person."
Luke Thompson, vice chair of the students rights committee and former freshmen senator, said the committee was looking at better
ways to orient the freshmen senators because he and others had felt intimidated and unprepared coming into office.
Jones said he planned to meet with the freshmen regularly after the election and assign them to other senators to decrease their adjustment period.
Thompson, Lawrence sophomore, said the success of the freshmen senators depended on their personalities.
"It depends on their energies and whether they throw themselves in and get in front of the microphone and speak," said Thompson. "We were working toward our own future and the future of the campus."

All students bear burden of Limbaugh's comments
For the record, here are some of Limbaugh's comments from his radio show: 'We were liberal. It's where the
It was nice of Rush Limbaugh to grace our fair town with his words last week. While discussing Democratic vice-presidential candidate John Edwards' visit to Lawrence on Aug. 8, Limbaugh ridiculed not just the visit, but also the town and, sure enough, the University of Kansas. In doing so, Limbaugh demonstrated both his ignorance of the University and its students and his inability to contribute to substantive discussions.
- "In national elections, this state votes republican, and these students and the people of Lawrence hate Bush, and they so desperately want to love Kerry ... Nobody stops in Lawrence. The only people that go to Lawrence are the students and the visiting football teams. Nobody goes there."
- "I've been there. I used to sell baseball tickets there. I used to accompany baseball players on personal appearances. I know Lawrence. I have a friend who has a sports bar in Lawrence."
Also making comments regarding the loss of Roy Williams and the tired cliché about driving across Kansas at night — it's the same as during the day — Limbaugh almost seemed to relish taking digs at Lawrence. Except when he tried to say the next day on his show that his comments were aimed at "the University, not the whole city of Lawrence," which would be true if he had not kept referring to Lawrence, the "college town."
to Lawrence, the "college town.
But Limbaugh's attempt to recant his comments about the town pales in comparison to his assertion that the University is home to "lots of students that date the professors." Apparently not every student learned that little nugget during orientation.
The students and citizens of Lawrence have given Limbaugh's comment the hearty laugh and outright dismissal it deserves, but the larger question remains unanswered: Why did he say it?
In an election year in which our country faces crucial issues and the electorate has a choice between two genuinely different candidates, what purpose do Limbaugh's comments serve? Could it be that the Missouri native has a grudge against the Jayhawks? And if the town is really so liberal and hates Bush so much, why did he attempt, laughingly, to clarify his remarks and make a distinction the next day between Lawrence and the University?
Like it or not, Limbaugh's show reaches millions of listeners every day, and his undue judgement, while readily discredited by those of us who know better, sees in to subconscious of people across the country, including those who may some day be our employers. Imagine having to refute your sex-crazed days at the University in your job interviews.
incident in your job interviews.
Limbaugh's comments cheapen the value of the degree we will hold. Under the cover of political speech, Limbaugh spewed ridiculous assertions for which he has no reasonable purpose other than claiming, repeatedly, that Lawrence is "liberal."
Why Limbaugh considers himself an expert on the University of Kansas, other than because he used to accompany athletes here and knows a guy at a sports bar, we do not know, but his attack on the reputations of every student and instructor at this facility is baseless and irresponsible.

Kerry can't convince on security
Dear John Kerrv.
Dear john, I seriously considered voting for you, but now I'm not. I've struggled to figure out exactly what you stand for. You still have done little or nothing to make your position clear.
Like many Americans, some of whom might actually vote, terrorism is the most significant issue on my mind. My vote for Bush in this election is not a slam-dunk. Bush's attention to economic policies were slipshed at best. But I want to feel safe in my own country, and you can't tell me how you will ensure that.
POLITICAL COMMENTARY
Your speech at last month's Democratic National Convention seemed stirring on the face of it, but revealed no convincing outline on how the Kerry presidency will limit terrorist activity. I don't expect that you can eliminate it altogether. That Bush still talks about winning the war on terror when he should know better is alarming. But he's doing something, and you've told us nothing!
I had to go to your campaign Web page in search of some explanation. I found a curious link to your thoughts on national security. It did not show me any insightful plan on protecting the nation. As it stands, you are soft on terrorism, which is unacceptable.
Much of the space on your Web page on national security is devoted to forming alliances against terror as an alternative to current "American disregard for the world." That in itself is amusing when one considers you voted for the war.
It seems as though there is a perception that America completely forged

ahead in the war alone, and it's repeated in your rhetoric. To believe that would mean I would have to disregard that countries such as Italy, England, Japan, Portugal, the Netherlands and Spain were among more than 40 members on the coalition. Is it just because France and Germany didn't play ball that they symbolize the rest of the world's point of view? Nevermind France and Germany risked seeing billions of dollars in oil contracts go up in flames with Operation Iraqi Freedom.
France has cultivated a businessfriendly climate with Iraq since 1970. I thought I would mention that, because many of your supporters and Bush's detractors have made such a big deal about Bush's financial dealings with the Saudi Royal family.
Saudi Royal Bank.
War for oil? Maybe for the French, because they had contracts to tap into undeveloped oil fields in southern Iraq. With that in mind, do we want Jacques Chirac and his opinions to be the cornerstone of our foreign policy?
Transportation data of oil imports, I found that only two Middle Eastern countries were in our top 10 of countries we buy oil from True, Saudi Arabia was at the top, but Mexico was just on its heels. In fact, if you combine the amount of oil we buy from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, as well as other OPEC nations, it still does not even come close to matching totals from other countries.
Speaking of oil, you mention on your Web page that the United States must end its dependence on Middle Eastern oil to improve national security. But when I checked figures from the United States Department of Energy and
Dependence on the Middle East for oil? Hardly.
It means that the left-wing rhetoric about a Bush war for his buddies' oil companies doesn't really add up.
computer applications. War for oil? If so, Mexico, Canada, Venezuela and Norway should all be shaking in their combat boots right now. But they're not, because the war for oil does not exist. It's just a play on American fears and misconceptions about our oil industry.
Instead, Mr. Kerry, you're going to have to come up with a real platform with genuine ideas to convince me.
Why do I need to be convinced? Because I represent a significant percentage of moderate people who will vote unlike a frightening percentage of your constituency that is notorious for not voting — and who can be swayed by effective and meaningful ideas. In an election that figures to be among the closest ever, you need such ideas to swing people in your direction and not the empty rhetoric we've gotten so far.

I have a confession to make. I intended to write this article as a means of convincing you all to get involved in the Hawk Week service project or, at the very least, to stop by my office for more information on how to volunteer in the community. This year I'm serving as co-director of the Center for Community Outreach, the University's "volunteer headquarters." It's part of my job to convince you, the hapless, disaffected student, to make a difference.
really do need you, and my feel-good version of volunteering simply wasn't going to cut it.
It has a nice ring to it, don't you think? "Making a difference." It's grand and contains just the right amount of noble self-importance.
There are real-life problems facing the residents of Lawrence that won't go away with slick marketing and a trendy T-shirt: homelessness, hunger, AIDS. abuse and physical and learning disabilities. Take a walk around downtown Lawrence, visit the local food pantries or homeless shelters and you'll begin to get a taste of the need that exists just a few miles away from you, your computer and your Nintendo.
I pondered the best way to convince you of the worth of that phrase: Would it be best to present "making a difference" as something hip? Trendy? Perhaps a good resume booster? That's when it hit me. I had become what I feared most in life: a yuppie. A young urban professional slickster trying to package community service in a way that would make you students want to rush out and do the "next cool thing."

Add to that the 22 public schools in the Lawrence district needing help with activities such as after-school programs and tutoring, and you can begin to understand the immense need for people to give their time in community service. Making a difference is for yuppies. The people of Lawrence need you to volunteer to help change lives.
To learn more about getting involved in Lawrence, stop by the Center for Community Outreach in room 405 of the Kansas Union. We'll give you all the information you've ever wanted on hundreds of volunteer opportunities in Lawrence. Or meet in the Kansas Union lobby Saturday for our community-wide service project from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. If you're lucky, we might even throw in a trendy T-shirt.

The ECM, 1204 Oread Ave., is a campus ministry that reaches out to students at the beginning of the school year.
Other religious groups affiliated with the University of Kansas offer barbecues and social events for students to get involved. However, according to Rev. Thad Holcombe, campus minister for ECM, many expectations go along with a Christian ministry that may not apply at the ECM.
Holcombe said the ECM's most important goal was to remain hospitable without trying to insist that others conform to the views of the ECM in order to be accepted.
"There is a predominant culture stream that sees Christianity as rigid, closed and moralistic," Holcombe said. "That's not what we're about."
"We're not claiming to have all the answers, so we're listening to all the questions," he said.
ECM is funded by individual donations as well as contributions by its many member churches.
churches. The campus ministry also receives money from a cooperative living arrangement with several students, said Tyler Young, Abilene senior.
Young lives in the basement of the ECM building. He pays monetary rent and volunteers for ministry hours to live in the ECM.
He has lived there for the summer, and will continue to live there in the fall.
He said he has made many friends at the campus ministry.

ECM has several committees made up of students that organize
various programs:
One program is the Sexuality Education Committee. Liz Franklin, Cedar Falls, Iowa, senior, is the student coordinator of that committee.
The committee works to educate students and help them have healthier and more fulfilling relationships.
"What we do has really opened my mind," Franklin said. "I think it's so important for students to realize that it's a safe place here on campus."
The committee also works on helping students get services for testing for sexually transmitted infections as well as services for victims of sexual assault.

Summer road construction affects local business profits
BY STEPHANE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
After nearly nine months of seeing construction cones outside his restaurant, Steve Prooski is hoping sales go up.
Prososki is hoping Prososki owns Runza Restaurant, 3418 W. 6th St., which is located near the construction at 6th Street and Kasold Drive. He said his restaurant suffered a 10 to 20 percent decrease in sales during the construction.
"Obviously, we're heading back in the right direction, but we're still not seeing the 10 to 20 percent yet," Proosski said.
"We can either close it

dents returned for the fall, he said.
Chuck Soules, Lawrence director of public works, organizes construction efforts. It's difficult to accommodate everyone, he said.
Meanwhile, Soules said he tried to keep both residential neighborhoods and business districts apprised of any changes in the construction schedule and lane closings.
The Department of Public Works tried to have all the construction done by the time stu-
Businesses may experience "growing pains" and see a decrease in business during construction, but over time the business events back out again, Soules said.
Prososki said the city of Lawrence notified him about the construction on 6th Street and Kasold Drive ahead of time.
Customers have a choice whether to brave the construction to get to a restaurant, Prososki said, but improvements needed to be made.
Scott Wieters, a barista at Classic Gourmet, 3300 Bob Billings Parkway, said it seemed there had been no difference in the amount of business during the roadwork
in front of the coffee shop.
"It's a hassle, but if the roads are falling apart, then it needs to be done. It's a necessary evil," Wieters said.
Wieters said it was tough to see a correlation between the roadwork and business slowing down because many students left for the summer and the weather was hotter.
He said most of the customers who came in during the summer were regulars who braved the road construction regardless of how bad it got.
now bad news.
"It probably does affect businesses to some extent, whether good or bad. But in the end, the end product, we hope, is a huge benefit," Soules said.
Just this year, the department of public works has overseen between 30 and 40 projects dealing with milling, the stripping of the top layer of asphalt, and overlaying, the adding of a new layer pavement.
Ed Mullins, Lawrence director of finance, said most of the major road construction, usually involving mill and overlay, was covered by general obligation bonds, which the city pays off over time.
The state funded 80 percent of the project at 6th Street and Kasold Drive because 6th Street is part of Highway40.
Tamara Bennett, senior management analyst for the city of Lawrence, said the city's general fund includes revenue from sales' tax and property tax. Bennett set the 2004 general fund set aside $650,000 for mill and overlay projects and $200,000 for curb repair.
Money from a gas tax is also used to pay for some projects.
The money comes from a tax on gasoline that drivers pay every time they fill their tanks; the money goes to the state and is redistributed into roadwork projects.
sawwork projects. For 2004, the gas tax fund set
aside $770,000 for overlay,
$170,000 for curb repair and
$70,000 for chip and seal projects.
Plans for 2005 might throw businesses for another loop, Soules said.
After hearing comments that drivers felt uncomfortable with turns on 23rd Street, Soules said the department would contact business owners and work to close some entrances to businesses.
The task of balancing city maintenance and resident interests is day to day for Soules. Kasold Drive, for example, is still an issue, he said.

"We can either close it and have 20,000 complaints because it's closed, or we can leave it open and have 20,000 complaints because of all the potholes," Soules said.

Group housing students urged to get vaccine
Jarrod Morgenstern, Overland Park, freshman, receives his meningitis vaccination from Elizabeth Sawalich, a registered nurse at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Morgenstern went to get the shot yesterday morning and said it was his mother's idea. "I was slightly nervous going in, but it's really no big deal," he said.

The University of Kansas changed its meningitis policy because of increasing concerns about the spread of meningitis, said Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Strother sent out an e-mail Tuesday outlining the University's new policy.
The policy states that the University strongly recommends that all students living in group housing situations get vaccinated, said Strother. She said it also encouraged all other students to become knowledgeable about the dangers of meningitis. Previously, the University followed the guidelines outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College Health Association, which recommended that everyone knows about the vaccination.
Strother said the risks for students living in group housing increased six-fold, because the disease is spread through close contact with an infected person's nose or throat discharges.
Barbara Schnitker, director of nurses at the Douglas County Health Department, said people need to be aware of the disease and what they can do to protect themselves.
"It is important that students know that sharing lip balm, straws or anything that comes in contact with the mouth puts them at risk." Schnitzer said.
Schnitker said the disease
starts out as flu-like symptoms, but the person can deteriorate quickly.
"It is a serious, serious disease and can result in death," said Schnitker.
Strother said the University is working to make the vaccination mandatory.
Students coming to the University have been told to get the vaccine in students' health history forms, letters of acceptance and housing agreements. Strother spoke to all residence and scholarship hall advisers this week, and will be
speaking to all of the Panhellenic association's risk managers next week. Aventis Pasteur, a worldwide company that specializes in creating vaccines, provided the residence advisors with copies of a brochure explaining the risks of the disease and recommending the vaccination.
Strother said she also went to every new student orientation and spoke to new students and their parents, recommending the vaccine and offering it on the spot.
The vaccine costs $73 and is
available at Watkins by appointment. Strother said that some insurance companies would cover the cost, but the reality was that many will not. The vaccine is 85 to 100 percent affective in preventing two-thirds of the most common meningitis types, said Strother.
Watkins is the primary local health center that offers the meningitis vaccine. Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine St., does not offer the vaccine, except to people traveling to areas where meningitis is an endemic dis-

Schnitker said that the health department did not offer the vaccination for routine use because it recognizes that Watkins is doing a good job of providing students with the necessary knowledge.
"We are talking about college students," said Schnitker. "We do not feel the need to duplicate what Watkins is already doing well."
She also said that private doctors can provide the vaccination, but they have to order the vaccination from their pharmaceutical company.
She said the best place for students to obtain the vaccination is at Watkins. Strother said their goal was to make students aware of the dangers of meningitis and provide an easy way for them to obtain the vaccination.
"We are going the extra step with this meningitis policy and we want to make sure that all students are highly aware of its dangers," said Strother.

Google gets SEC approval for initial public offering
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Securities and Exchange Commission granted final approval yesterday to the paperwork required for Google Inc.'s initial public offering, paving the way for the Internet search giant to set a price for its shares and begin selling them after several stumbles and a last-minute downward revision on the size of the offering.
Investors who bid above the selling price will only pay the pershare IPO price. If there's demand for more than the company's 19.6 million shares, successful bidders may get just a percentage of what they requested.
shares will be allocated.
With the price then set and initial shares sold, stock could trade as early as Thursday morning under the symbol "GOOG" on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
arrogant and reckless since it began the IPO process four months ago.
Despite reducing the number of shares to be sold to 19.6 million from 25.7 million and cutting its estimated price range by nearly a third, the offering is one of the biggest and highly anticipated for an Internet company, surpassing the hot issues of the dot-com boom.
Before trading begins, the company and its underwriters must close the unusual auction that's being used to set the share price of the initial sale. After that, winning bidders will be notified and
Its prospectus indicates that Google still faces regulatory questions. In one case, it said the SEC "has requested additional information concerning the publication" of an interview of Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page that appeared in September's issue of Playboy magazine. That was a potential violation of the SEC's rules against talking publicly before an IPO about information that is not included in the prospectus.
Google anticipates its shares will be priced between $85 and $95 each, down from an earlier estimate of between $108 and $135.
It could raise $1.86 billion. If the stock trades at the high end of Google's range, it would have a market capitalization of about $25.8 billion, down from the earlier figures as high as $36 billion.
But the bumpy IPO process has created several clouds over the company that has been criticized for being too idealistic,
Google also has admitted that the agency has launched an informal inquiry into its issuance of millions of pre-IPO shares and options without registering them.
The auction — another source of controversy — was supposed to democratize the IPO process, which is usually limited to investors connected to investment banks.
Storm leaves elderly vulnerable
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SARASOTA, Fla. — The devastation brought on Hurricane Charley has been especially painful for an elderly population that is among the largest in the nation.
State officials fear that many frail and aging residents have been left susceptible to illness and are going without important medication because of the hurricane, while others have been too stubborn to leave their damaged homes.
The situation has government and private agencies scrambling to get the elderly to air-conditioned places where they can
receive their medicine, oxygen and even entertainment.
The state has processed more than 250 people through a temporary shelter for older people at Robarts Arena at the Sarasota County Fairgrounds.
people older than 65, and the county was especially hard-hit by last week's hurricane. The storm killed 20 people in Florida, and more than 400,000 people remained without power Wednesday.
They came from nursing homes, assisted-living facilities and private homes in the affected counties.
"We've responded to a lot of hurricanes," said Jennifer Bencie Fairburn, a doctor with the Florida Department of Health. "But this is really a unique situation because of the population in Charlotte County."

Cleric, Iraqi government broker truce in Najaf
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NAJAF, Iraq — Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr accepted a peace plan yesterday that would disarm his militia and remove them from their hideout in a revered shrine, raising hopes of resolving a crisis that has angered many of Iraq's majority Shiites and threatened to undermine the fledgling interim government.
But al-Sadr has made contradictory statements in the past, and aides to the cleric said he still wanted to negotiate details of the deal to end two weeks of fighting between his forces and U.S.-led troops. The agreement was announced at the National Conference in Baghdad, which had sent a delegation to negotiate with al-Sadr.
The conference, a gathering of more than 1,000 prominent Iraqis that was seen as an important milestone on the country's path to
democracy, spilled into an unscheduled fourth day yesterday so it could choose members of an interim National Council. The council is to act as a watchdog over the interim government until elections in January.
Disputes persisted at the conference throughout the day over how to choose 81 elected members of the council, with small parties complaining they were being strong-armed by the large factions into accepting their slate of candidates.
Al-Sadr's loyalists and a combined U.S.-Iraqi force have been fighting for nearly two weeks throughout Najaf, battling in the vast graveyard and in the streets of its Old City.
A planned vote to affirm a slate of 81 candidates was called off at the last minute, and the conference organizers simply affirmed the group — to the dismay of many of those who were not included in the council. The final 19 members of the 100-member council will be members of the former U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council who were left out of the interim government.
A wall surrounding the Imam Ali Shrine, where the militants have holed up, was reportedly chipped in the fighting, and any damage to the gold-domed mosque itself would infuriate the world's 120 million Shiite Muslims.
The drawn-out fighting, which had spread to other Shiite areas, has already burnished al-Sadr's reputation among poor, grassroots Shiites at the expense of more senior — and more moderate — clerics and hampered the government's efforts to quell a separate Sunni insurgency.
Tuesday afternoon, Iraqi Defense Minister Hazem Shaalani said the government could send Iraqi forces to raid the shrine.
Western documentarian kidnapped in Southern Iraq
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
According to witnesses in the market, the journalist, identified as Micah Garen, and the translator, Amir Doushi, were walking when two men in civilian clothes and armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles seized them, Aboud said.
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A Western journalist and his Iraqi translator were kidnapped by two armed men in a busy market in the southern Iraqi city o Nasiriyah, police said Monday.
Adnan al-Shoraify, deputy governor of Dhi Qar province, said the incident occurred Friday. Al-Shoraify said Garen was a

journalist with U.S.-French citizenship who worked for the U.S.-based Four Corners Media and was working on a project involving antiquities near Nasiriyah, about 200 miles southeast of Baghdad.
According to its Web site, Four Corners is a "documentary organization working in still photography, video and print media" that is working in Iraq.
The Web site says Garen is one of the organization's managers, and shows a portfolio of his photos in Iraq.
In New Haven, Conn., Garen's father Alan said the 33-year-old had been working in Iraq for about two months as a freelance journalist. He couldn't confirm his son was missing, saying only that "I haven't heard anything for several days."
A spokesman for Italian forces deployed in Nasiriyah, Capt. Ettore Sarli, said Garen had been staying at the Italian airbase there, but left Aug. 12 and told the troops he was headed to Baghdad.
Garen turned in his press card before leaving, he said.
Sarli said Garen had been interested in archaeology, was working in a local archaeological museum and also with the coalition force's archaeological unit.
A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Bob Callahan, said he had heard through the media of the reports, but could not confirm them. "We too are aware of it and are investigating." he said.
In Paris, the French Foreign Ministry also said it had no information but was investigating.
Massacre ignites old tensions
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NAIROBI, Kenya — Wielding guns and machetes, the attackers charged into a refugee camp for Congolese Tutsi, shouting threats to kill any member of that tribe they found. Scores were slain in the raid on the U.N. camp in Burundi, and the fallout from the attack could re-ignite a longstanding conflict in central Africa.
at the United Nations.
It is not entirely clear who carried out the attack, or why. But the stakes are very high in Burundi, Rwanda, and Congo, neighboring countries that all are home to members of the Hutu and Tutsi tribes, as well as other groups enmeshed in a web of mutual hostility. Ethnic conflict between them has claimed millions of lives in the past three decades.
The latest atrocity triggered a flurry of threats and accusations, and has sparked grave concerns
Both Burundi and Rwanda are threatening military action against Hutu bases in Congo — their far larger neighbor to the west — to make sure such attacks blamed on Hutu marauders don't happen again.
Conflicts between Hutus, who comprise a majority in Burundi and Rwanda, and Tutsis, a minority in those two countries and in eastern Congo, have wracked this corner of Africa for more than a decade, spawning a civil war in Burundi, the 1994 Rwandan genocide and two rebellions in Congo since 1996.
Burundi's army chief, Brig. Gen. Germain Niyoyankana, on Tuesday accused Congolese tribal fighters allied to that country's government of taking part in the massacre, saying the attackers included Burundian rebels who "acted as guides, former Rwandan (Hutu) soldiers, together with part of the Congolese army."
Despite denials from the Congolese that they were involved in the attack, Niyoyankana said the Burundian army is prepared to pursue the assailants, who used Congo's territory to launch Friday's raid on the camp sheltering Congolese Tutsi refugees.
Rwandan Foreign Minister Charles Mulgande also warned that his country was prepared to act against Rwandan rebels and allied groups based in Congo. Several extremist groups have joined forces with the aim of eliminating ethnic Tutsi from the three countries, he said in Kigali, the Rwandan capital.
A Burundian Hutu rebel group, the National Liberation Forces, said its fighters staged the attack, claiming that Burundi soldiers and Congolese Tusli militiamen were hiding at the camp. Burundian officials and witnesses said the Burundian rebels were accompanied by other extremists based in Congo.

MEAL PLANS: RAs upset about plan's coverage

While the KU Cuisine meal plans benefit most of the students, some resident assistants feel they received a bad deal.
As part of their compensation, RAS are provided with 19 housing meals per week in the cafeterias, but the Department of Student Housing does not provide them with any KU Cuisine cash, which is provided for all the other students on the KU Cuisine plan.

Danny Neumann, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior and RA in Ellsworth Hall, said he felt not being provided with cash limited his options and that being a RA shouldn'texclude him fromenjoying benefits other students get
"I would like to receive the same options as every other student," Neumann said.
The feeling among other RAs, who preferred to remain anonymous, varied, as some said they
Diana Robertson, associate director for residence life, said giving RAs 19 meals per week was the best way to handle staff meals.
She said she saw the RAs as students first and felt that they were fairly compensated. She said the issue was really one of taxation.
"The intent of the meal plans is time they can spend with residents," Robertson said.
Kip Grosshans, associate director for administration, said the reason RAs were not provided KU Cuisine cash was because they would have to be taxed on it.
"I think it's definitely to the RA's advantage to not have to pay taxes on their earnings, that component of their income," Grosshans said.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said in the long run, the KU Cuisine plans should allow the KU dining services to go into more options in the future.
Glatz said he looked forward to the possibilities of the future and the expectations for the current academic year.
He said the meal plans would be beneficial when the new late-night lounge and pizza shop in Oliver Hall open, as well as the late-night food service that would be in Hashinger Hall after it was renovated.
Meal plans might expand more in the future, Stoner said. The department administrators are currently discussing food delivery options, including pizza delivery.
"I'm excited about it and I think students will be too," Glatz said.

In-state tuition plus fees is now $4,737 for a 30-credit-hour year. This is a 15.5 percent increase from last year's tuition and fees, which was $4,100. Tuition rates are now $138.75 per credit hour, and Lawrence campus fees are $287.
The University is not the only Kansas university that increased tuition this year. Tuition at Kansas State University increased 15 percent.

Blackouts jolt some Lawrence residents
A Westar Energy representative said the cause of the outage could not yet be determined and it could take anywhere from one to three hours to repair.
A power outage last night in Lawrence left neighborhoods near Memorial Stadium without electricity for more than an hour.
The outage was reported at 10:30 p.m. and by 10:55 p.m., Westar had received 88 complaints.
But residents were making the most of the situation. Tiki torches and fireworks greeted residents in the 900 block of Illinois Street.
Katie Wolff, Shawnee senior, said she and her roommates were using the time to meet new neighbors and drink a few beers. Wolff lives on the west side of IIII-
nois Street, where she said power appeared to be out for several blocks.
But she was frustrated when she saw her neighbors across the street had power.
"It's kind of aggravating, looking at the lights in their house," she said.

Mangino nabs top recruit
BY JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
Kansas football pulled off an in-state coup with an oral commitment from Ottawa High senior Caleb Blakesley.
Blakesley is rated the number one prospect in the state of Kansas, according to rivals.com. He received offers from Kansas, Kansas State and Wyoming and also interest from Missouri, Colorado State and Northwestern.
Northwestern. In choosing Kansas, Blakeley ignored the more well-known in-state football program, Kansas State. He said it was hard to turn down the school's tradition.
"You always want to be part of a winning program," Blakesley said. "But
KU's going to be a very good program in a couple years. It's going to compete with good schools."
www.kansan.com
At Ottawa, Blakesley was called on to play both offense and defense, because the team would only have 30 or 40 players join the team each year.
Most schools that showed interest in Blakesley recruited him to play offense. His passion, however, is on the other side of the ball.
"There's more intensity on defense," he said.
Blakesley said that because of the nature of his position, the defensive side allowed him to attack, while the offensive side only permitted him to contain.
Kansas recruited Blakesley as a defensive end. NCAA recruiting regulations prohibit coaches from making
public comments about any unsigned recruits.
As Blakesley is only an oral commitment, coach Mark Mangino was unable to comment on Blakesley or why Kansas preferred Blakesley on defense.
Now that Blakesley will have the opportunity to devote his attention to the one side, he will be able to put all his energy there.
Pat Boeh, Blakesley's high school coach, said that could mean good things for Kansas.
"Caleb's gotten better each year," he said.
Boeh also said that part of the reasoning behind Blakesley's decision to choose Kansas was that Kansas seemed "very interested" from the beginning.
Blakesley also liked the accessibility he had at Kansas.
Blakesley received all-state honors for his play as both a defense end and offensive lineman last season. Boeh said that Blakesley never wanted to come off the field.
"The coaches at Kansas seemed much more personable than the ones at K-State," he said.
"Caleb is a leader in our school," Boch said. "He has great character and is a great worker."
With the addition of Blakesley, Kansas has increased its 2005 class to four members. Three of the four are from Kansas, and comprise half of the top six players on rivals.com's Kansas Top 12 list.

Kicking position is Beck's to lose
Ridicule, past failures and competition help player to find motivation

Editor's Note: As the Kansas football team prepares for its season opener against Tulsa on Saturday, Sept. 4, sportswriters Ryan Colaiani and Jonathan Kealing will be taking a position-by-position look at the team's depth chart. A position breakdown will appear every day leading up to the game.
He was the object of many jokes last season on campus when he struggled. Now it appears that senior kicker Johnny Beck is back and in the best shape of his career.
"Johnny Beck looks better than he ever has," coach Mark Mangino said. "We feel like we are moving forward in that area."
The kicker position is Beck's
job to lose as he comes in with three years of experience and a successful offseason behind him. But pushing Beck are red-shirt freshman Scott Webb and junior Jerod Brooks, who will be quick to step in if Beck begins to struggle again this season.
Last season Beck went 9 of 16 in field goal opportunities, but he missed three extra points, finishing 31 of 54. This caused Mangino to have Brooks handle some of the shorter field goal opportunities and points after touchdown.
"I expect to go out there and make every kick," Beck said. "If I don't make every kick, I just bounce back and make the next one."
"Competition is good, because every day in practice is like a game," Beck said.
When Beck struggled last year,
flooded the *Free For All* to
kill him.
ridicule the kicker.
"They're fans and I am here to play for their school." Beck said. "If I don't do my job, they have the right to say what they want to say."
Beck made sure not to lose his confidence when he struggled last season, he said. So far, that confidence has kept him at the top of the depth chart.
With Beck leading the way for the kicker position, Webb and Brooks are using the competition to become better kickers.
"They all have good potential, and I like the guys a whole lot." Beck said. "I hope they are successful, and I hope to contribute to that."
Look for Beck to be the opening day starter against Tulsa, but if he begins to struggle, look for Webb to take over the kicking duties.
The team also must replace arguably the team's best player from last season, graduated punter Curtis Ansel, who is now a member of the Detroit Lions.
"Chris Tyrrell and Kyle Tucker are battling it out for punter and are being scrutinized very closely." Mangino said.
Tyrrell, a senior, has the leg up for the starting job. He did not see any action last year but split kickoff duties with Beck during his sophomore season and became the starting punter in his redshirt freshman season. During that year he averaged 40.5 yards per punt.
Tucker, a freshman from Katy, Texas, doubled as his team's place kicker in high school but will be ready to fill the punter role if Tyrrell goes down to injury.

Perkins developing KU legacy
There are a few dates in recent memory of particular importance to Jayhawk fans: Apr. 4, 1988, at Kemper Arena rings a bell. Another significant pair are Apr. 14, 2003, when the coach formerly known as Roy Williams left the University of Kansas, and Apr. 21, 2003, when Bill Self made his way to Mount Oread.
Now there is a new date for Jayhawk fans to remember: Jun. 10, 2003, the day Lew Perkins was announced as the new athletic director. Perkins came to the University in a whirlwind of expectations, hype and credentials. But most importantly, he came with the promise of results. It did not take long for the "Lew Mojo" to start working its magic at the University.
"We want to develop that swagger and confidence. Some people will say that's arrogance. That's okay. There's nothing wrong with being arrogant—it's positive."
Lew Perkins, Kansas athletics director, during his introductory press conference
Although the swagger isn't quite back, there has been a rebirth of confidence under Perkins's direction that began months after his arrival. Last fall, Jayhawk sports experienced unprecedented success.
dented success. The volleyball team enjoyed its best season ever, finishing with its highest conference standing and making its first trip to the NCAA tournament, knocking out a perennial powerhouse in their opener before bowing out in the second round.
The soccer team also had its best season in its brief nine-year history, setting a University record with 18 wins and advancing to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament.
And let's not forget the football team. Who? Oh yeah, the football team. All they did last year was come out of absolutely nowhere, finishing the regular season with a 6-6 record, and earning a bowl bid for only the ninth time in the school's history.
I understand that the success of these teams cannot be completely attributed to Lew Perkins — after all, he had nothing to do with the hiring of the coaches, nor does he suit up for any of the teams. But one cannot discount the mere presence of the "Lew Mojo." Shortly after his arrival in Lawrence, he made a point to sit down with the captains of all the sports teams to discuss their concerns and needs as representatives of the crimson and blue.
Point is, Lew knows what it takes to get the job done and make this school a winner again.

University of Kansas leads NCAA academic reform
BY JENNIFER SHER
jsher@kansan.com
KANSAN'S SPORTWRITER
The reform, which Chancellor Robert Hemenway leads as chairman of the NCAA board of directors, will require athletes' schedules to remain on track for graduation. Additional resources, such as tutoring, are also in the plan.
University of Kansas and NCAA officials have a new goal: All athletes should be on the track to graduation.
"This is the most significant reform we have embarked on," Hemenway said.
The goal of the academic reform is to establish and maintain a collegiate model of athletics, preventing college sports from becoming a replica of the pros, he said.
PETER RAYMOND
"If you are an athlete, the University will do everything it can to help you receive a degree," Hemenway said.
HEMENWAY
Hemenway outlined the basic academic requirements of this
new program, which aims to ensure student athletes make progress toward a degree each year.
Reform begins at the high school level, where within two years student-athletes will be required to pass 16 core classes, instead of the 14 classes now required. Also, high school athletes will have to pass a standardized test.
In the first year of college, student athletes will be required to complete 24 credit hours toward a degree. Each following year, they must make 20 percent progress toward their degree.
Hemenway and the NCAA board are discussing the option of adding a fifth year of athletic eligibility, but that has not been finalized.
The University offers resources, including one-on-one and instructional tutoring, to help student athletes achieve their academic goals. These resources are available through Student Support Services, located at the Hale Achievement Center in the Wagnon Student Athlete Center.
Nicole Braman, junior soccer forward, said she used these resources because the team has

Razzing minimal at Games
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS, Greece — U.S. teams have heard plenty of boos so far in the Olympics, mostly the kind reserved for any powerhouse playing an underdog.
What hasn't surfaced, they say, is any of the nasty,politically tinged anti-Americanism that was feared in the run-up to the games.
The bigger the American star power, it seems, the louder the razzing. Targets so far have included the men's basketball team, women's soccer team and Andy Roddick, the world's No.2 tennis player.
player. Off the field, however, the Americans have raved about the warm reception they've received from the Greeks and from athletes of other nations. There have been no anti-American protests and, according to U.S. officials, no worrisome confrontations.
"We've seen just the opposite people in Athens going out of their way to make our team feel comfortable," said U.S. Olympic Committee
spokesman Darryl Seibel. "In those situations where the crowd has gotten behind our opponents. ... It hasn't been in any way aggressive or hostile."

Anti-American demonstrators staged protests in Athens; city workers erased graffiti denouncing U.S. foreign policy; U.S. team leaders counseled athletes to keep a low profile — such as not wearing clothing plastered with USA logos when venturing off Olympic premises.
Judo competitor Celita Schutz of New York City said this was the first time in three Olympics she received such instructions.
such first actions.
"When I've gone downtown, people recognize athletes anyway and they're curious where you're from," she said. "All my experiences have been positive."
Concerns abounded prior to the games.
A handful of athletes, such as NBA star Ray Allen, cited fears of anti-American violence as a reason for skipping the Olympics. High jumper Matt Hemingway, son of a Marine who
served overseas, questioned such attitudes.
"Anybody who said they didn't want to come because of security, they just didn't want to come," said Hemingway, of Buena Vista, Colo. "Considering what our soldiers are doing, risking their lives, the least we could do is represent our country at the Olympics."

In their quest for a low profile, USOC officials brief athletes on acting respectfully.
The message, said team press aide Doug Haney, was, "Don't be the obnoxious American everyone thinks we are."
hemingway indicated the athletes were receptive, mindful of the criticism that ensued in Sydney four years ago when bare-chested members of the men's 400-meter relay team wrapped themselves in a U.S. flag and clowned on the victory stand.
"We can't shove it in people's faces," Hemingway said.

Heisman Trophy winner Jason White returns with a sixth year of eligibility eager to restore a reputation that took a beating with sub-par performances in the two losses.
Kansas State won the league title in 2003 but second-ranked Oklahoma won't let them keep it without a fight.
Despite losing the Big 12 title game to Kansas State and the Sugar Bowl to LSU, the Sooners — and their fans — expect to chase titles again this year.
Not as long as Bob Stoops, the coach who routinely calls the biggest plays in the biggest games, is still the head coach.
Oklahoma quarterback Jason White throws a pass during last year's Big 12 Conference game against Texas A&M, in Norman, OKa. Kansas State won the league title in 2003, leaving Oklahoma in second place. Nine Oklahoma starters are returning this year, from an offense that averaged 42.9 points per game, including Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Jason White.
Stoops won the national title in 2000. The Sooners wouldn't think of accepting anything less.
White and Missouri's multitalented Brad Smith shared preseason honors for all-Big 12 quarterback.
A capsule look at the teams in predicted order of finish:
OKLAHOMA — White's health will be a key concern again this season. The 24-year-old had two seasons cut short by knee injuries and was banged up in the two losses last year.

TEXAS — The Longhorns got a huge break when running back Cedric Benson and linebacker
Derrick Johnson, two of the best players in the nation at their positions, chose to stay for their senior seasons.
Vince Young or Chance Mock at QB?
Coach Mack Brown says Young is the starter — but for how long?
TEXAS TECH — Coach Mike Leach must replace departed QB B.J. Symons, who threw for an NCAA record 5,833 yards. Fifth-year senior QB Sonny Cumble, who's never started a game, who's job in preseason.
OKLAHOMA STATE — Josh Fields set an Oklahoma State career record with 55 touchdown passes but left the Cowboys after the Chicago White Sox selected him in the first round of the Major League draft.
TEXAS A&M — Coach Dennis Franchione promises it will get better in year two.
It can't be much worse than last year's 4-8 record, the first losing season at A&M in 21 years.

LOS ANGELES — The last time Southern California football was this good, the school was being called Tailback U., running Student Body Right and pumping out Heisman Trophy winners.
USC, LSU bring back winning traditions
LSU's recent success has conjured up memories of Billy Cannon dashing through Death Valley and the Chinese Bandits smothering opponents on defense.
USC and LSU, two schools rich in tradition and surrounded by a wealth of talent, have gone from dormant to dominant.
Under coach Pete Carroll, the Trojans are again one of Los Angeles' glamour teams.
Meanwhile, Nick Saban has restored Baton Rouge as one of the country's college football capitals.
After slogging through a string of mostly forgettable seasons, both the Trojans and Tigers finished the 2003 season as national champions.
USC was first in The Associated Press voting and LSU won the Bowl Championship Series title.
USC quarterback Matt Leinart wasn't even born the last time the Trojans won a national championship, but he's well aware of the school's history and proud to be part of the resurgence.
“It's so great to be a part of it, and with coach Carroll, to bring back the prominence and the dynasty-type level of play." Leinart said. "The way we've been playing the last two years kind of brings back the glory days of the '70s, when we used to win national championships and be good all the time."
The Trojans wrapped up a share of the 2003 national title with a 28-14 Rose Bowl victory over Michigan. Carroll has a 29-9 record at USC, including 27-4 after a 2-5 start his first year.
At LSU, Saban has guided the Tigers to a 39-13 record since
becoming the coach following the 1999 season.
His teams have played in bowl games every year, including a 21-14 Sugar Bowl victory over Oklahoma last season for the BCS crown.
The Trojans are the preseason No.1 in both polls for the upcoming season, with the Tigers ranked fourth by the AP voters and third by the coaches.
The Tigers' 2003 national title was their first since 1958, when they were led by Cannon, an explosive running back who would win the Heisman in 1959, and the Chinese Bandit defense.
The Trojans didn't won a national championship since they topped the coaches' balloting in 1978. The national title last season was USC's first in the writers poll since 1972, when fullback Sam 'Bam' Cunningham blocked for tailback Anthony Davis on the end sweeps coach John McKay called Student Body Right.
carsen School Boyz The '72 title was the Trojans' third in 11 years. Throughout the '70s they continued to be among the nation's best, and in 1981 Marcus Allen joined Mike Garrett (1965), O.J. Simpson (1968) and Charles White (1979) as Heisman-winning tailbacks for USC.
The luster started to come off the Trojans during the '80s, and the '90s were filled with disappointment.
After going to three straight Rose Bowls from 1988-90, USC went to just one more during the '90s.
LSU took a similar course during the '90s, frustrating its fanatical fans with losing seasons and ummet expectations.
The Tigers and Trojans watched as other teams harvested talented players from their backyards and each struggled to find the right coach.
LSU finally broke into the top 10 by finishing No. 7 in 2001, and then USC was No. 4 in 2002.

ATHENS, Greece — Other than putting their uniforms on right, U.S. basketball coach Larry Brown struggled to find something, make that anything, good to say about his players.
good to say this. This is hardly news. After losing one of two Olympic games and one of six on a pre-Olympic tour that turned out to be more torture than tune-up, Brown has been using his postgame news conferences to read off a laundry list of woes. The only thing that seems to change is the order.

new slots.
After that, it was about showboating too much ("troubling"), complaining about the way he parcels out playing time ("other teams accept it better") and still failing to grasp the nuances of international basketball ("tough to play when you haven't figured out the rules").
So what's new?
So what's new?
Now, opposing coaches are dissing them, too, joining the U.S. audience looking in back home and threatening to become some kind of Greek chorus.
"They don't seem to be interested to improve their shots," said Panagiotis Giannakis, Greece's coach. "They like to go close to the basket to make a shot."
shot.
Now you know why nobody wants to pose for pictures with the Dream Team anymore. There is no reason for awe, little to admire and even less to learn from this latest collection of NBA millionaires.
The original Dreamers went through opponents at the Barcelona Games in 1992 like pylons at a coaching clinic, dunking over entire countries at
will, playing a style of basketball that seemed as unfamiliar as it was unattainable.
It didn't hurt, of course, that those Dreamers featured not just the best U.S. players of their era, but some of the best and most entertaining the game has ever seen — Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird — not to mention some of the hardest-working.
working On the court, they crushed every opponent and did it with great style and humor. The only suspense that remained after the tip-off was how many foreign dignitaries would try to squeeze into the postgame photos.
So give the rest of the world credit; it's improved by leaps and bounds in the dozen intervening years, begging, borrowing and stealing everything from coaches to gear to training regimens in a mad dash to catch up. But what's troubling about this latest U.S. edition is that it made sure the gap finally closed by backing up so far so fast.
"My boys put their best effort into this game, given they were playing great players they watch on TV. That said," Giannakis paused for a sly smile, "we didn't go onto the court with fear."
Brown knew why, and he didn't think it was so funny.
Narrow victory over Greece a 'sigh of relief' for U.S.

ATHENS, Greece — In past Olympics, defeating a mediocre team such as Greece by a mere six points would be cause for alarm for the United States.
In 2004, it's reason for a collective sigh of relief.
lective sign of the U.S. men's basketball team was breathing easier Tuesday night after its first victory of the Athens Games, a 77-71 win over the host country that showed once again how difficult success will be for the "Gang That Can't Shoot Straight."
That can be a A 4-for-21 effort from 3-point range, 13 missed free throws and 19 turnovers translated into a tough night for the Americans, who won despite Tim Duncan fouling out, Allen Iverson playing with a broken thumb and Lamar Odom fighting off severe dehydration to come up with the defensive play that ended the home team's last hope.
In other games, Spain again
looked like the class of the field with an 87-76 victory over Argentina, Yao Ming scored 39 points to push China lead New Zealand 69-62, Lithuania defeated Puerto Rico 98-90, Serbia Montenegro edged Italy 74-72 and Australia defeated Angola 83-59.
Greece had a chance to pull within two with 18 seconds left, but Odom defended the key play of the game perfectly, holding his hand steady and high and getting a piece of Dimitris Pipanikoulou's layup attempt.
Odom rebounded the miss and made two free throws to lock up a victory that helped keep the United States — coming off a humbling 19-point loss to Puerto Rico — from doubling its Olympic loss total from the previous 68 years.
"We wanted to play this one and get that out of our heads," Duncan said.
Iverson scored 17 points, 13 of them in the first half, and Duncan had 13 of his 14 points
in a third quarter in which he picked up his second, third and fourth fouls, setting the stage for a tight fourth quarter.
The Americans led 64-61 when Duncan returned with 5:46 left, and 67-63 when he fouled out some two minutes later on a questionable loose-ball foul call that left him staring in disbelief and Brown pointing in anger at the official who called it.
Boozer came up with the Americans' biggest field goal of the night, rebounding Shawn Marion's missed 3-pointer from the corner and banking it in for a 74-68 lead.
A 3-pointer by Greece made it 75-71, and Boozer missed a pair of free throws to give Greece a chance to get within two.
chance to get over A turnover by Greece after Odom's free throws with 15.5 seconds left finally quieted the crowd and ended the suspense
"That was the loudest arena I've ever been in," LeBron James said. "That was electrifying."
U.S. line-up change unlikely
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS, Greece — Same starting lineup, same subs, same tactics. The U.S. basketball team may be an unimpressive 1-1 in the Olympic tournament, but coach Larry Brown won't do any tinkering for today's game against Australia.
gamat Hornstein.
That likely means that Richard Jefferson, who shot 0-for-7 against Greece and 3-for-16 against Puerto Rico, will remain the starting small forward. And LeBron James, whose defensive energy produced three breakaway dunks in the second quarter, will continue to come off the bench at shooting guard behind Allen Iverson.
Brown has never been one to make wholesale changes on the
fly, and he's not about to start now — even with observers wondering why he isn't making more use of full-court pressure or half-court traps that cause turnovers.
Even Brown noted that his team is attempting more 3-point shots than its opponents — and not making many (7-for-45). That's got to change, he said.
Brown believes winning or losing will be determined by effort - players diving on the floor for loose balls, boxing out underneath for defensive rebounds and making the extra pass against the zone defense to open up mid-range scoring opportunities.
opportunities The Americans have done those things at times, but never for a full game.
And if they don't get into the habit of playing with extra effort for a full 40 minutes, their chances of standing on the medal podium will dwindle fast
Against Australia, the Americans will need to concentrate on stopping point guard Shane Heal, a veteran of both the NBA and the Euroleague known for his sharpshooting from 3-point range.
Like the U.S. team, the Australian team has shown itself to be wildly inconsistent.
Australia, the United States, Puerto Rico and Greece all have 1-1 records in Group A, which Lithuania leads with a 2-0 record. Angola (0-2) is last in the six-tem group from which four teams will advance to the quarterfinals.

Tuition is up 18% or $636 for this year. That's on top of last year's increase. I'm not spending $6-$15 on a planner when I can get one for free! Duh...
Of course there's a lot of knowledge in universities: The freshman bring a little in; The seniors don't take much away, so knowledge sort of accumulates.
Very nice. Killer coupons too.
I hope this isn't the "Padgett" academic planner—just a one year wonder. Over $600 in coupon values can sure help me offset yearly increases in books and tuition. Bravo BackPack!

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5P
Minor mistakes cost U.S. gymnastics gold
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS, Greece — She was shaking her hips, twirling her hands, letting that high-wattage smileshine and turning the arena into her own little disco.
Then, oops ... Courtney Kupets bobbled a bit during a routine dance move.
Anyone looking away for a second would've missed it. Too bad gymnastics judges are always paying attention.
Mistakes, both big and small, were the difference between silver and gold Tuesday night. A tenth by a tenth, the Americans kept losing points. When it was over, Romania had won its second straight Olympic gold medal and the United States had taken silver.
"We wanted to win, but they did a good job, and they deserved it," Kupets said. "It's not bad winning silver at the Olympics."
Had a few things gone differently, though, first place could have been theirs.
But Carly Patterson got hung up on the uneven bars, forced to muscle her way out of a huge mistake and clipping her foot against the lower bar as she tried to save the routine.
Mohini Bhardwaj wobbled a bit on the balance beam.
The United States lost by 0.699 points in what Bela Karolyi, the husband of American team coordinator Martha, called the best international meet he'd seen in 20 years.
"We made small mistakes," Karolyi said. "Small mistakes are to be paid for. And we paid."
Russia, led by Svetlana Khorkina, took the bronze medal and shared hugs and kisses to celebrate third place.
The Americans didn't look nearly as happy watching Romania close the night on the floor. Patterson, Kupets and company sat stoically at one end of the arena, and gave perfunctory applause to the clutch efforts put in by Oana Ban, Daniela Sofronice and the Romanian star of the
night, Catalina Ponor.
A few minutes later, the U.S. girls turned on the spin cycle.
OLYMPICS
Sure, they said, everyone was happy to win a medal. No, there's no shame finishing second to a powerhouse like Romania. And remember, this was lots better than the last Olympics, when the program left Sydney in disarray after finishing fourth, without a single medal for the first time since 1976.
But the Americans were the defending world champions. They hadn't lost a meet in nearly two years. Martha Karolyi手 picked this team to perform under the pressure of the world's biggest stage. She preached perfection without end, and on the day the United States needed it most, perfection was nowhere to be seen.
The Americans did manage to come through on many counts.
Bhardwaj wasn't scheduled to perform on beam, but went out on short notice after Kupets decided to sit due to a pulled hamstring that had been bugging her for weeks. Bhardwaj scored a 9.4 and coach Kelli Hill called it a "phenomenal performance" given the circumstances.
The Romanians came to the floor next needing to average 9.35 over the three routines. In football terms, that's like asking a kicker to make an extra point with the game on the line — practically automatic.
Ponor was the perfect closer. She brought the fans to their feet with one of the finest routines of the night.
"I'm happy because these children have a crown, a medal," said Romanian coach Octavian Belu, who took Karolyi's place when the Karolyi defected.
The Americans have a medal, too. It's just a different color.
"I never stated a goal. I always was very careful not to say" the Americans should win gold, Martha Karolyi said. "That was a major competition out there — the Olympics. We're happy because we pulled ourselves back up to the medal stand."
ATHENS 1984
Despite fall, athlete takes gold
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS, Greece — Paul Hamm ought to get two gold medals for this performance.
Kevork Diansezian/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
After falling onto the edge of the judges' table on the landing of his vault, Hamm performed two of the most spectacular routines of his career to win the men's all-around gymnastics title by the closest Olympic margin ever.
Needing a 9.825 on high bar, his best event, to tie Kim Dae-eun of South Korea for gold, Hamm was dazzling. The highlights of his routine are his three straight release moves, and he did it to perfection yesterday night to become the first U.S. man to win gold in the event.
Hamm, the reigning world champion, threw himself up and over the bar, catching it on the way down once, twice and then a third time, soaring higher with each toss. As he caught the bar the third time, the crowd roared.
Hamm's dismount was perfect, and he hit the mat with a solid thud. Knowing the gold was his, Hamm thrust his fists into the air and threw his head back.
the women also had .012, in 1992, when Ukraine's Tatyana Gutsu edged American Shannon Miller.
Hamm's margin of victory was .012. The previous closest margin in the event was .017 by Leon Stukelj of Yugoslavia over Robert Prazak of Czechoslovakia in the 1924 Games.
Paul Hamm of the United States competes on the rings during the men's gymnastics individual all-around final at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, yesterday.
The celebrations were just beginning. When Hamm's score of 9.837 flashed on the scoreboard, the arena went into a frenzy.
"We all knew that Paul was the best coming in," said Bob Colarossi, president of USA Gymnastics. "To fall and then have to do a perfect routine to win
it and stick the landing, is incredible."
As the world champion, Hamm came in as the clear favorite. And it appeared to be within his grasp when he took a .058 point lead over China's Yang Wei, his biggest rival, halfway through the meet.
Vault is usually one of Hamm's stronger events. He looked good when he hit the springboard and leaped forward, turning his body sideways before his hands hit the horse.
Springing backward, he did 1 1/2 somersaults in the air. But he didn't get enough height on the twists, and he hit the mat in a crouch. He had no chance to stabilize himself, his left leg crossing over the right and sending him on a sickening stumble.
The crowd gasped as Hamm fell sideways and back off the mat, hitting the edge of the judges' table before he plopped down, a stunned look on his face. He got up and walked off the podium, shaking his head and thinking he'd probably just cost himself the gold.
He looked dazed when he saw his score of 9.137, which dropped him all the way to 12th place and more than a half-point behind Yang — a seemingly insurmountable deficit.
He still had two events to go, but he had to be absolutely perfect and hope that one of the gymnasts in front of him would make a mistake.
Former coach displays poise for competition
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
tics from the East to the West.
ATHENS. Greece — Bela Karolyi's right fist shook throughout the final floor exercises, the gold on the line between his native country, Romania, and his adopted land, the United States.
"I'm much more nervous sitting up here than standing on the floor," said the old bear of a coach who transformed the world of gymnas
Consigned to the uncomfortable role of spectator Tuesday night, four rows up from the floor, he watched Romania once again claim the Olympic women's team gold. The American team, which his wife Martha helped choose, train and direct at their Texas ranch, settled for silver and an extra bit of satisfaction in leaving the once dominant Russians with bronze.
There was no shame in a silver that matched their male counterparts. Not for a team that had been so low, so disorganized only a few years ago.
From the chaos, complaining and balancing of Karolyi after the mess of a team he ran in Sydney, the team his wife coordinated showed the kind of poise and resolve it takes to compete at the top level.
It's a program that puts a premium on coaches and athletes working in harmony, coming together every month to check their progress.
The internal competition is fierce, every day designed to prepare the gymnasts for the intense pressure of an Olympics.
They won only silver, but they showed they have the foundation for gold.

Top10: Pride of KU sports selected
JONATHAN WILSON

By Paul BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
Courtney Kuhlen/KANSAM
The KU Dance Team cheered at Traditions Night on Monday at Memorial Stadium. The team placed second at UCA/UDA College Nationals competition last year.
Editor's note: To mark the Kansan's 100th year of publication, Kansan sportswriter Paul Brand will take a look at the "Top 10s" of Kansas sports.
During the last century of publication, The University Daily Kansan has found Jayhawk sports at the heart of its coverage. Both the campus and its athletic heritage have created a unique bond between the University and its sports. However, none of this would be possible without certain fixtures that University of Kansas sports rely on to build a continuing legacy.
This list will discuss the University's 10 most prized sports institutions.
10. Phog Allen statue: Built to honor the father of basketball coaching, this sculpture puts a face on the spirit that gives nightmares to all visiting players.
Courtesy Kulmin/JONASN
The Phog Allen statue in front of Allen Fieldhouse was dedicated on Dec. 13, 1997, the 90th anniversary of the first game he coached at the University.
Although Allen did notch 746 victories and 24 conference championships between 1920 and 1956, it is the legacy that he built in the process that still affects Jayhawk basketball.
As an added bonus, the statue gives religious basketball fans an effigy to pray towards daily: "Pay heed, all who enter: beware of the phog."
9. Fraser Hall lawn: While this entry on the list may be a bit out of the ordinary, Fraser's lawn is home to continuous games of casual contests of soccer, frisbee and golf. On a spring or fall afternoon, the lawn also plays host to the official non-athletic sport of college: napping.
8. (Tie) Basketball bands and Marching Jayhawks: What other phenomenon can produce a massive tribute to Carlos Santana (and maybe Rick James this year), lead the student body in the alma mater, and then take its
game inside Allen Fieldhouse to get down with some OutKast? The day the band is replaced by public address system playing Josh Groban is the day Jayhawk sports die.
7. Allen Fieldhouse lawn: Although not an official athletic field, it serves as the perfect place for aging high school athletes to play injurious games of tackle football. Its prime location on Naismith Drive allows even the common student a chance to be seen dropping a touchdown pass.
6. Campanile hill: Although the video board in Memorial Stadium now blocks the center of the field, "the hill" still offers a good and free way to watch football games.
To add to the excitement, tailgating and drinking are allowed in the area. When out of football season, Campanile hill functions as Lawrence's best spot for sledding.
5. (Tie) Cheerleaders and KU Dance Team: They bring grace and beauty to sports that feature hitting, shooting and offensive linemen.
4. Memorial Stadium: Every fall,
hope and anxiety for the upcoming football season storm through Lawrence like Ouantrill's raiders.
Here these expectations are manifested and new chapters, good or bad, are written in the already rich archive of football history.
Recent additions of the scholarship suites, the video screen and the "Blue Wings Rising" slogan make the stadium the most exciting war memorial since Gettysburg.
3. The Jayhawk: Besides cereal mogul Toucan Sam, the crimson and blue-feathered mascot is the most famous fictitious bird this side of the equator.
Over the years, Jay has changed with the times to look skinny chic (see 1912 version), like Poe's raven (1920), innocent (1923), angry at the market crash (1929) and fierce enough to take on Nazl Germany (1941).
Postwar Jay (1946) has
proven popular but not very fertile, as the 58-year old has yielded only one offspring: Baby lav.
2. Allen Fieldhouse: Arguably the toughest place to play in college basketball.
The fieldhouse combines rabid fans and a mystic "Phog" to create an environment where the ljayhawks seldom lose.
The men's team has enjoyed home court win streaks of 62 and 55 games at Allen, which seems to possess special coercive powers over opponents.
the halloweed hoops haven is aging — it was built in 1955 — but its old-school style and lore still make it one of the most electrizv venues in all of sports.
1. The fans: They yell, drink,
make lewd t-shirts, camp out,
celebrate wins, cry over defeats
and hate Missouri.

Campus security updates set
Security will increase this fall at campus parking lots, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office.
Public Safety officials plan to install cameras in several parking lots on campus. Bailey said the cost and date of
installation of the new surveillance system was still unknown.
Parking lots near Daisy Hill, the Lied Center and the area surrounding GSP-Corbin Hall will have priority for the new security system. The lots were selected because they are near residence halls, where safety has been an issue.
According to the KU Public Safety Web site, 861 criminal offenses were
reported in 2003, a 6 percent increase since 2002. Bicycle thefts and burglaries made up a majority of the incidents. One rape and four aggravated assaults were reported to the office in 2003.
One of those assaults happened last October, when a female resident of Ellsworth Hall was attacked while walking to her car in the Lied Center parking lot. The attacker held the woman at knifepoint. In February 2003,
a man with a knife threatened a female student in the GSP-Corbin parking garage.
Elyse Calderon, Denver sophomore, lived in Ellsworth last year and was worried by these attacks. She said she thought security around campus and residence halls could be better.
"I would definetely recommend cameras in the parking lots," Calderon said. "I don't think it would invade privacy
unless they were in the residence halls."
unless they were in the residence hall. Ken Stoner, director of student housing and Campus Safety Advisory Board member, said other safety improvements under consideration included more lighting and new crosswalks on West Campus Road and 15th Street
Staying safe on campus just takes some common sense, Bailey said.

Rooms with a viewpoint
Executive offices show softer side of Student Senate
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGIA

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
In room 410 of the Kansas Union, the Student Senate executive staff offices are cozily clustered together.
"If you come in and there's a lot of yelling going on back here, it's not a fight, we're just trying to do business," said Steve Munch, student body president.
Munch said he and Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president, did much of their business in this fashion.
Munch and Dunlap are student representatives to University administrators, faculty and staff. Munch, Bellevue, Neb., junior, meets with various administrators to accomplish his coalition's agenda.
Dunlap serves as chairman of Senate. Senate provides University funding for student groups and advocates for student rights and interests, according to the Senate Web site, wwwku.edu/~senate.
But the office dynamics tell more about the staff than just the
way Student Senate business is conducted. The offices are a window into the personalities of KU's student leaders.
'The Notorious MUNCH'
A convocation poster hangs on Munch's bulletin board. "The Notorious MUNCH" is written on it, but Munch can't explain it. He doesn't know who wrote it.
"Munch is indeed my last name," he said. "And, in fact, I am known as notorious."
Munch describes himself as nurturing. He has plants in his office and said he fed them.
Munch has a mini-fridge under his desk stocked with Coke, Diet Coke and grapefruit juice, with which he plans to entertain. He said he really wanted students to come to his office.
But Dunlap said the nickname was completely a joke. Munch is approachable, he said.
He's a high school Quiz Bowl champion, Dunlap said, and he has an excellent poker face.
Munch said as far as he knew, it was some random person who wrote it.
But the fact is, Dunlap said Munch was known as notorious, which means known widely and usually unfavorably, in two circles: the history department and at the poker table.
But the fact is, Dunlap wrote it.
"We can sit down, have a discussion, I can maybe offer them a Coke and then we'll go from there." he said.
Comfort is key, he said.
Comfort is key, he said.
"I want to make it comfortable while still being halfway professional and orderly," Munch said.
Diana Rhodes, administrative assistant for Student Senate, admitted the office was not the most formal of offices. But she said it was cleaner this year.
Munch keeps a neat desk. When Munch is not working, there is no clutter on his desk besides a file organizer and computer.
Whether Munch does his job better because of the cleaner office has yet to be seen. His platform which includes a tuition contract, might seem lofty.
At least one platform issue is always on his mind. Munch's window is a view of the north side of Jayhawk Boulevard and the Mississippi parking garage. It is a constant reminder that Munch's coalition, KUnited, promised students more parking.

Tony Corbeill, professor of classics, was one of yesterday's seven winners of Kemper Awards who were surprised by Chancellor Robert Hemenway and others during the first day of class. Corbeill was shocked at the honor and joked that he hoped it would increase the enrollment in his class in which there were only 10 students.

Professors earn Kemper Awards
By Ross Fitch
rfitch@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Latin 105 has open seats. But after a visit from Chancellor Robert Hemenway, Tony Corbeill, professor of classics, might be able to fill the spaces.
He and seven professors were surprised yesterday starting at 8:30 a.m., when Hemenway and Mark Heider, president of Commerce Bank in Lawrence, presented them with giant checks for $5,000 Kemper Awards.
Corbeill, although obviously surprised, played it cool, and in a shameless plug, said there was room in his class if anyone wanted to add.
Michael Shaw, associate professor of classics and Corbeill's colleague, said he thought it was about time Corbeill received the award.
"He's a real all-around player," Shaw said. "He can do it all."
Apart from teaching, Corbeill was also involved with research and service. Shaw said.
A committee established to honor faculty with $5,000 Kemper Awards said Corbeill was among the best of the professors at the University of Kansas.
For the ninth consecutive year, an entourage of officials from the University, the William T. Kemper Foundation, Commerce Bank-Trustee and the Kansas University Endowment Association — together known as the Surprise Patrol — started off the school year by handing out oversized checks to University faculty for excellence in their fields.

The decision whether to move 17-year-old Andrew Ellmaker into the adult court system may not happen at his first court appearance in a Johnson County Court Aug.24.
Ellmaker, who has been charged for the murder of KU graduate student Teri Lea Zenner, could have several first appearances because he is currently classified as a juvenile, said Terri Issa, executive assistant to the Johnson County district attorney.

Zenner was found dead by Overland Park Police Tuesday night at 12623 W. 105th St., Ellmaker's residence in Overland Park. Autopsy reports have not been released.

Zenner was working for Johnson County Mental Health Hospital when she was killed.
She was expected to graduate with a master's degree from the School of Social Welfare in May.

NAJAF, Iraq — Radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr ordered his fighters yesterday to hand control of a revered Najaf shrine to top Shiite religious authorities, hours after U.S. forces bombed militant positions and Iraq's prime minister made a "final call" for the cleric's militia to surrender.

Blasts and gunbattles persisted throughout the day yesterday in the streets of Najaf, where militants bombed a police station with mortar rounds, killing seven police and injuring 35 others.
Students and faculty at Wescoe Hall try to avoid the rain yesterday after a false fire alarm emptied the building. Ed Dodd, Fairway junior, was in Intermediate French I and II when the alarm went off. His class was in the midst of introductions in French. "Great timing," he said.

Kerry tells Bush to 'bring it on'
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — John Kerry fought back yesterday against campaign allegations that he exaggerated his combat record in Vietnam, accusing President Bush of using a Republican front group "to do his dirty work" and challenging Bush to debate their wartime service records
"Well, if he wants to have a debate about our service in Vietnam, here is my answer: Bring it on," said the Democratic presidential candidate, reviving an old war and campaign slogan amid strong urging from party leaders for him to respond to two-week-old GOP assertions.
GOP assertions.
As Kerry denounced the criticism as "ties about my record," aides privately acknowledged that they and their boss had been slow to recognize the damage being done to his political standing.
being done to his position. Kerry won three Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star and Silver Star for Vietnam War combat. Bush served stateside in the Texas Air National Guard. Both men say the other served honorably, but their supporters are pouring tens of thousands of dollars into television ads and other tactics to insist otherwise.
MoveOn.org, a liberal group funded by Kerry supporters, is airing an ad accusing Bush of using family connections to avoid the Vietnam War. It also asks the president to denounce an ad that aired early this month by "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth," a GOP-learning group of Vietnam veterans who say Kerry exaggerated his actions to win Vietnam War medals.

Students stay in town, boost summer break business
BY STEPHANE FARLEY

KANSAN STAFF WINTER
Traffic on the streets of Lawrence decreases in the summer months, but that doesn't mean the traffic in bars goes down, too.
Local bars experienced a drop in business this summer, but not as much as in years past.
Jerry Neverve, owner of Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., and Mike Logan, general manager of Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., said they were somewhat affected by students leaving for the summer, but said more students were staying in Lawrence creating bar business.
Logan said the bar supported itself during the summer and throughout the year by catering to non-college oriented events such as weddings and corporate luncheons. He said business was one-half to two-thirds lower during the summer.
Thi Thieu of Wichita attempts to serve the crowd of customers at Quinton's Bar & Deli, 615 Massachusetts St., Tuesday evening. Bar business is expected to increase with the arrival of students this past weekend.
David Ernst, Lawrence police officer, said he definitely noticed when students left for the summer by the decrease in traffic.
Ernst said students leaving didn't affect the police department because there was 80,000
Lawrence residents who still needed assistance.
Neverve said that for about five to six years, business had not dropped as much when students left and there used to be a huge decrease in business during the summer.
But college students were going to school longer now and not going home, he said.
"Lawrence is such a nice place," Neverve said. "Sometimes they just don't leave."
Business is a little slower on the weekends, but the bar manages to make it up during the week, he said.
Geoff Knight, Toronto senior, and Brandon Schultz, Minneapolis senior, stayed in Lawrence for the summer. They said they ended up at the Red Lyon because of the atmosphere and they knew the bartenders.
Trina Baker, bartender at the Red Lyon, said she actually was busy during the night. She said business had been all right during the summer, but the first week of students being back had increased business.
"It's busy tonight." Baker said. "But that's probably because it's the last day of freedom."

Young officer patrols, remains a part of downtown nightlife

David Ernst has served two years and two months as a Lawrence police officer, and he's never wanted to serve anywhere else. The single, 6-foot-7 Olathe native loves being a police officer. He said it may be a cliché, but he joined the force because he wanted to serve the community.
In his off time, Ernst goes to bars where he won't run into someone he's encountered while on the job. His bar of choice: The Sandbar, 117 E. Eighth St.

Ernst said most of the calls he received involved Lawrence residents, not KU students. This month he serves district 127 downtown, which includes Massachusetts Street, and works the 10:40 p.m. to 7 m. shift.
Ernst said that when students left during the summer, it changed some of his calls, but the majority of the calls were not related to students or bars.
He was on patrol starting the night of Aug. 18;
11 p.m.: A garage door in the alley of a business in the 600 block of Massachusetts Street is partially open. Ernst tries to find an owner to come shut the door, but can't.
11:47 p.m.: Ernst pulls a car over for an unlit right tail light as a precaution. He doesn't ticket the driver.
12:08 p.m.: The owner of a car parked in a no parking zone on Louisiana Street receives a $30 parking citation. Ernst places the "gift" as he sometimes calls it, on the windshield.
12:25 p.m.: Ernst walks into a room full of stares at The Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St. He says the uniform just makes people turn their heads.
12:38 p.m.: Ernst pays a visit to Fatso's, 1016 Massachusetts St. Ernst says he pays visits to the bars to have a presence in the community.
1 a.m.: Ernst talks to Laurie Scott, Lawrence police officer, who is part of the bike patrol this night. Scott, who was taking a break on a Massachusetts Street bench, says it has been a slow night, probably because classes start the next day. The Lawrence Police Department places two officers on bike patrol when the need arises.
1:15 a.m.: Ernst stops at a convenience store for a five minute break and a Coke.
1:21 a.m.: Ernst receives a report of a fight at Johnny's Tavern, 410 N. Second St.
1:33 a.m.: No fight is in progress when he arrives. He says the fights are usually over before the police
ever get there. Sometimes the officers find the victim and at other times, they don't.
1:37 to 1:48 a.m.: Ernst and another officer do crowd control in the parking lot of Johnny's. Employees at the bar are responsible for controlling the crowd and getting patrons out of the parking lots. The two officers were there to make sure it goes smoothly.
2:07 a.m.: Reports of an intoxicated driver who crashed a van in front of City Hall come across Ernst's radio. He drives up to the scene where a van is on top of a light pole and several bushes. The old Volkswagen van has "Dirt Clod" written in dust on the back window.

Ernst and another officer lead the driver through a series of sobriety tests like "step over here," "follow my light with your eyes," "walk in a line" and "stand up straight with hands to your sides and one foot up in the air while counting."
The other officer gives the driver a preliminary breath test, asks the driver to turn around while hand-cuffs are brought out, and places the driver in the front seat of another patrol car on its way to the Douglas County Jail.

Senate, students must use readership program wisely
Students will have access to a weekend edition of The Kansas City Star without adding an extra penny to their tuition fee thanks to the Student Readership Program.
This program, established by USA TODAY in 2001, has provided KU students with weekday, on-campus subscriptions to four newspapers: Lawrence Journal-World, The Kansas City Star, USA TODAY and The New York Times. Every student pays a $5 tuition fee that in turn pays for this service.
The University will not have to pay any extra money for this expansion because The Kansas City Star decided to take a hit in its profits in order to boost its circulation.
Students need to return this favor to The Kansas City Star simply by picking up a paper on Saturdays, Sundays or both days.
Note: Sunday's edition is nearly twice the size and chalked full of coupons.
courses. Students no longer have to consider re-reading Friday's news in order to have something to read while spending their weekend up on the hill. Weekend circulation of 576 newspapers of The Kansas City Star will be distributed to the Student Fitness Recreation Center, Anschutz Library, GSP-Corbin Hall, Burge Union, Oliver Hall and Mrs. E's dining hall.
Student Senate now has to decide what to do with an excess of money accumulated from the $5 readership fee.
This amount, during the past three years, has accumulated to nearly $270,000.
The Senate has been brainstorming
several options.
According to Steve Munch, student body president, the Finance Committee will assess this situation in the springtime to decide if the readership fee should be lowered by as much as one dollar.
However, until that time, this $270,000 of excess student money will continue to lay around without benefiting the University.
One option is to allocate the money to increase funding to the Newspaper Readership Advisory Board.
Student Senate needs to realize that placing the accidental excess money accumulated from students' pockets each semester into the hands of student outreach coordinators may not serve as the best way to return that money to the students.
The move will only be effective if the Board consistently ensures that the students will benefit from the program.
The University does not have to return the money via physical checks, but it should use that money,and use it in a way that directly benefits the majority of students. A summer expansion of the readership program is one good way to show an immediate change.
The University needs to work quickly to show immediate benefits to the students who have overpaid for this service.
However, KU students need to continue to show their interest in the Student Readership Program.
Continue to show USA TODAY that it did not make a mistake three years ago when it chose the University as one of the first three schools to participate in this program that now serves nearly 100 colleges across the nation.

PARTY CONVENI
"Well, of course poverty is a huge issue ...
Time for issues, not grand parties
One hundred-sixty million dollars.
Not a shabbv amount of cash.
CAMPAIGN COMMENTARY
Let's see, $160 million can buy approximately 2,962 Cadillac Escalades, depending on what features you want. Better yet, $160 million can clothe and feed millions of needy children across the world, and provide badly needed textbooks to inner-city schools, and there would still be enough left over to get an Escalade for myself. Or I suppose we can throw a couple of four-day parties together (we'll call them conventions), throw some politicians in the mix and call it good.
图 1
The Democratic National Convention last month had an estimated cost of more than $60 million. The Republican National Convention at the end of this month is estimated to cost more than $100 million. What are the purposes of these conventions? First, they are supposed to officially announce the candidates who the parties are running for the White House, and secondly, to announce the party's respective policy platforms. I hope I'm not the only one that is thankful that I was finally informed about who was running against "Dubya." We did hear some discussion about their platforms, but millions of dollars worth?
Granted, there are plenty of worthwhile things that come from these conventions. Some people got to hear from politicians they root for. But according
JOHN TRAN
opinion@kansan.com
to The Campaign Finance Institute Web site, TV ratings for both conventions are steadily on the decline. The city of Boston was projected to gain roughly $250 million in revenue. But increased revenue doesn't necessitate the spending of such an exorbitant amount of money. The Institute's Web site shows that more than $10 million ($8 million projected for the GOP and $2 million for the Democrats) will be used for the two conventions from the "Parties, Receptions and Special Events" budgets. Just think about the type of party we could throw in Lawrence with $10 million.
In 1992, private contributions made up 14.3 percent or $8.4 million of the two convention's budgets. This year they make up 60.8 percent or roughly $103.5 million. This money comes primarily from large corporations and extremely wealthy individuals. Their contributions are not supposed to have direct influence on the election, and are technically not supposed to go toward
the candidates, but to the parties themselves to "build party support." However, in reality, these corporations and individuals have very distinct vested interests in the outcome of the upcoming election.
not bad enough for you? Well how about $15 million in federal grants to each convention with another $25 to $50 million homeland security grant? These conventions have just gotten out of hand. In 1980, the conventions cost around $10 million, with most of the funding coming from federal grants. From $20 million dollars to over $160 million, it seems like our priorities have gone askey. School districts across the country are running out of money and more than a tenth of the nation lives in poverty, yet we find it acceptable to spend an amount of money greater then the gross domestic product of a small nation to throw a party?
It's not that we should completely discard the conventions. It's just that the money being spent on them is going up and up, while the viewers and the utility of the conventions have taken a decline. What we are left with are glorified parties where politicians are preaching to the choir while everyone else is watching re-runs of "Road Rules."

Bush's politics served on waffles
Have you heard about the presidential candidate who can't stop "flip-flopping?" He just can't seem to make up his mind on an issue. His appeals to voters monumentally contradict his policy record.
NATIONAL POLITICS
John Kerry is that candidate, according to $120 million of mostly negative George W. Bush television advertisements, Republican pundits and Fox News and the Drudge Report. Because Bush has made the flip-flop issue a central component of his campaign against Kerry, it seems fitting that he ought to be held to a similar standard.
NATIONAL PORTER
JACK HENRY-RHOADS opinion@kansan.com
Let's take a look at some of the flipflops that have occurred during Bush's presidency.
Back in 2000, Bush ran a campaign based on being a "compassionate conservative," and a "uniter, not a divider." It's funny now, I recall watching pundits on news shows actually saying that there would be little difference between a Gore or Bush presidency because they were both so moderate.
Bush, of course, wasted no time at all in shedding the moderate image in 2001 with the appointment of John Ashcroft and policy positions that were more conservative across the board than any previous president. From the environment and gay marriage to energy policies and tax cuts, Bush made it
clear that there has never been a better friend in the White House to billionaires, polluters, oil companies and farright religious groups.
The best example of Bush's constant shifting is the No Child Left Behind Act. Oddly enough, after plenty of boasting about his signature education policy, Bush then released budgets for the next four years that left behind $33.2 billion of education funding pledged in the bill.
FRII
Bush must have changed his mind after he realized that America's millionaires need that money more than children in under-performing schools.
Another example of a Bush flip-flop is his signing of the Healthy Forests Restoration Act in 2003.
R
It called for extensive old-growth forest logging, plenty of new roads to cut right through the heart of the nation's forests, and also made it much more difficult for forest-area residents to

mount legal challenges to logging operations they feel are unsafe for the environment. President Bush must think a healthy forest is one without any trees.
While we're walking down memory lane, let's note the following Bush quote made in 2001 at the USS Reagan ceremony: "Precisely because America is powerful, we must be sensitive about expressing our power and influence."
Just last week Dick Cheney was in attackdog mode criticizing John Kerry for calling for a "more sensitive war on terror." The Bush administration has shifted big time on this one.
After a thorough examination of the contradictory positions of George W. Bush, it becomes clear why he is running a negative presidential campaign. He'd rather send his surrogates out to call John Kerry a French-looking flip-flop than defend four years of his own flip-flops or make the case for why we should vote for four more years of the same.
If Bush ever comes to Lawrence, I'll be there. I'll be wearing my "Flipper" T-shirt, and a nice pair of flip-flops. I'll even give you some free waffles.

2. Don't take shortcuts through poorly lit areas.
3. Don't leave property unattended.

KEMPER: Surprise Patrol plans to give 13 more teaching awards
The awards are funded by $500,000 from the William T. Kemper Foundation-Commerce Bank and $500,000 in matching funds from the KU Endowment Association. Hemenway said he was pleased that, after the 10 year grant expires, the University would have invested $1 million in teaching.

G. Douglas Atkins, professor of English, was another unsuspecting recipient.
"This is probably the most important thing that's happened to me in 35 years of teaching." Arkins said.
He said the award was especially rewarding for him, as he had been through a tough time with the death of his mother.
When the award has meaning in teachers' personal as well as professional lives, it makes presenting the awards particularly enjoyable. Hemenway said.
"It should be a reminder to students that their professors are working under pressures they don't know about." Hemenway said.
Philip Barnard, associate professor of English, said his colleague was a seasoned professional and successfully fulfilled all of the administrative duties of teaching, scholarship and service.
AWARD WINNERS
Yesterday's Kemper Award recipients were:

G. Douglas Atkins, professor of english

Hemenway said the awards symbolized how important the teachers are to the University.
The patrol planned to continue to hand out awards all day.
The patrol will continue to hand out awards to the 13 remaining recipients, and plans to distribute all the awards before the end of September.
One of yesterday's recipients, Paul Atchley, professor of psychology, said the award affirmed his decision to teach at this University as opposed to the University of Illinois, where he considered teaching. He said the award was a challenge as well as an honor.
"KU truly values teaching and teaching excellence," Atchley said. "Now I have something to live up to."

Young golfer Docking continues maturity

KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
LR
Tyler Docking, Olathe sophomore, will finish tournament play in the 2004 Amateur Championship from Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y., this Sunday. Roy Edwards, Kansas men's assistant golf coach, said Docking's hard work and dedication were the reasons for his recent success.
I
The promising future of the Kansas men's golf program became evident on Monday during the 2004 Amateur Championship at the Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y.
Olathe sophomore Tyler Docking had an impressive round of 73 in rainy conditions. Docking went on to beat Brendan Hester, Sutton, Mass., by three holes.
The tournament continues through Sunday.
"He's just maturing," Ross Randall, Kansas men's golf head coach, said. "He used to be pretty excitable, but he's calmer now. He's used to playing in some pretty important events, and he's certainly more self-confident."
Docking displayed the self-confidence Randall alluded to by firing a four-under 68 on the last day of the regional qualifier. That score earned him the opportunity to compete at the national level in the U.S. Amateur Tournament.
Randall said he spoke with Docking before he took off for Mamaroneck.
"I told him that he should work on a couple things, like higher bunker shots," Randall said. "The course is known for its deep bunkers, and the greens are really elevated. I also told him to hit it straight and keep it out of the rough, because it's very deep."
Randall added that keeping the ball out of the rough was the strength of Docking's game.
"He's got a great swing and is really accurate off the tee," Randall said. "He's fundamentally sound and strong for his size — he used to be a cross-country athlete."
Kansas men's assistant golf coach Roy Edwards credits Docking hard work and dedica-

tion to the game as the reason for his recent success, noting his diligence, passion, and desire to be where he is right now — at the U.S. Amateur.
"This is going to be the best tournament he's ever played in by far," Edwards said. "It keeps showing that he's progressing."
Edwards said Docking grasped the enjoyment of golf and athletics. He also said Docking's parents had encouraged a competitive spirit in him from a young age, contributing to his success.
Docking was a redshirt athlete for the Jawhaws two years ago, not participating in events but practicing with the team every day. Randall said many redshirts often admitted that using that first year to prepare was the best choice they could have made for the team. Those athletes receive a year's worth of preparation for collegiate athletics and are still eligible to play four years after this period.
decision.
"He's got a really difficult major with engineering, and he's really a bright young man," Randall said. "I don't think he could have played golf and been in engineering unless he took a year to get some classes out of the way."
Randall said Docking's difficult academic schedule made redshirting an especially good decision.
Last spring, as a freshman,

GRUBER: Runner overcomes many obstacles on way to 'A' standard
So five days after the trials, Gruber boarded a plane and flew to Europe to face some of the world's fastest middle distance runners.
Gruber had to act fast. Within 22 days of his race at the trials he needed to run more than a second faster than he had ever run before.
He entered the four races that he figured would give him the best chance of reaching the A standard: Stockholm, Sweden; Huesden-Zolder, Belgium; Liege, Belgium; and Munich, Germany.
"The single goal and plan was to get into the best races to get the A," he said.
Just two days after landing in Europe, on July 27, Gruber raced in Stockholm. Going into the race, he thought he was ready.
But after the start gun was shot and the pre-race adrenaline wore off, Gruber said he felt the jet lag from the long flight across the Atlantic pulling on his legs.
He clocked in at 3:38.02, slightly faster than his time at the trials, but more than two full seconds above the A standard.
said. "I really felt I was going to hit it in the first race."
With one race up in flames, Gruber was left with just three chances to break 3:36.20. Next up: Huesed-Zolder, Belgium.
This time he would see faster competition. In Stockholm, he had run against a pair of very fast Kenyans and Mulugeta Wendimu, an Ethiopian who has run 3:31.13 this year.
"I was very disappointed," he
But one runner wore toe the line in Huesden-Zolder who stands above the rest: Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco, the fastest 1500 meter runner in recorded history, with a time of 3:26.00 that he set in 1998.
While some runners might have felt intimidated, Gruber's temperament matched the mild Belgian weather.
Before the race Gruber had formulated a plan with Doug Clark, the Kansas assistant cross country and track and field coach, who has been coaching Gruber in his quest for the
"It was an honor to race with the current world record holder," he said. "But I made it a point not to be star-gazing or in awe of anyone I compete against."
Olympics. He would run a relatively slow split of 1:54 or 1:55 for the first 800 meters, then turn on the speed and pass as many runners as possible in the last 700 meters.
The start gun fired, and Gruber hung back. After 800 meters, he was in dead last.
But Gruber stayed cool. In the last 700 meters he surged past six runners and placed 10th.
His official time was posted:
3:34.71. He made it.
"I was happy," he said, "but I knew I was going to do it for such a long time I was not in shock."
When he got the opportunity, Gruber said he used his agent's cell phone to call his girlfriend, Courtney Deutsch, to tell her the news.
He was going to Athens.
Today, Gruber is back in action, 12 days after running the 1500 meters in Munich as one final tune-up.
The top five from each of today's three heats plus the next nine fastest times will advance to the semifinals, Sunday at 1:50 p.m. The finals will be at 3:40 p.m. Tuesday.
from the stands, as will Deutsch and Gruber's parents, brother, uncle and three friends.
After earning his master's degree in business last spring. Gruber will not be returning to Kansas as a student this year.
"Seven straight years of KU is enough for me." Gruber said.
Coach Clark will be watching
Healso will no longer be a volunteer assistant for the cross country and track and field teams, as he did last year. But Clark expects that he will sometimes continue to train with the distance squad, as he has for the past seven years.
While Kansas probably will not be at the top of Gruber's mind as he runs today, it will not be far off.
"I want to represent myself, KU, Lawrence, and the USA to the best of my ability," he said. "For a more concrete goal, I want to make the finals."
Gruber said he has one other thing going for him: a pair of beaded safety pins hooked to his spikes.
"My girlfriend made them for me," he said.

Dazzling Patterson wins All-Around gold medal
ATHENS, Greece — Carly Patterson, the 16-year-old American who has drawn comparisons to Mary Lou Retton, delivered a dazzling floor routine to win the all-around gold medal last night.
She spoiled Russian superstar Svetlana Khorkina's final opportunity at the Olympic title in gymnastics' premier event.
Patterson became the first American woman to win the allaround since Redton in 1984.
"I don't even know what to say right now," Patterson said. "I'm so happy and excited. You dream about this your whole life. Then you win the gold medal, and it's just amazing."
Like Khorkina, Patterson closed the night on the floor. On all four tumbling passes, she jumped higher than any of the other 23 women in the meet. Just as importantly, she pulled off perfect landings.
Patterson scored a 9,712 on floor to finish with 38.387 points and defeat Khorkina by, 176. Zhang Nan of China won bronze.

This year Vaughn is a candidate for the Rimington Award. The Boomer Esiason Foundation presents the award annually to the best center in college football.
Credit for some of the improvements to last year's line can go to Ed Warinner, second year offensive line coach. Last season, the front line allowed 23 quarterback sacks for 123 lost yards, down from 37 the year before. Warinner changed the line's workouts and overall attitude.
At the ljahwaks' recent media day, the linemen said they worked together well.
"We have really been able to come together and mesh as a unit, and because of that the intensity is great," Thompson said.

"We've been seeing this for a long time, and again, there isn't a better teacher in basketball than Larry Brown," said Nelson, the general manager of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. "But you've got to have receptive students in order for a team to be effective. ... You can't just shuttle out gear, and have the best Nikes, and not be able to shoot a jump shot."

ATHENS, Greece — Lithuania assistant coach Donnie Nelson sees the U.S. team's struggles as symptomatic of a breakdown that is exacerbated by America's fascination with dunks and sneaker contracts.

Today's Birthday (Aug. 20).
Your assignment this year is to learn how to communicate your great ideas. Produce, and you'll make the big bucks.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
You have a tendency to be impetuous sometimes. This is why it's good for you to hang out with a rational type. No offense.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
HOROSCOPES
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is an 8.
Your own home is a good place to try out your latest innovation. See if you like it by living with it. If you do, you can make it public, cr not.
You'll find the work you've done gives you the strength to reach further than ever before. Use what you've learned.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
Your home is a source of serenity and calm. So it's a wise investment to get something that makes your family more comfortable — or a special treat.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22).Today is a7. Continue your studies, and you will find yourself becoming a lot of things, including interesting, sophisticated, cheerful and artistic.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 5.
You've already done the hardest part. Now all that's left is the mopping up. The news is that this time you'll clean up financially, as well.
Libra(Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
Friends offer you encouragement,
acknowledgment and
applause. Accept it all with grace
and charm. Don't tell them how hard you struggled.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 5.
A connection you make by networking within a bureaucracy can prove beneficial to you both. Let people know what you want.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 7.
Long-distance contacts are favored now, as are group activities. Let people know what you want and where you'd like to go.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is a 5.
Now's a good time to ask for a raise in pay. Imagine yourself making more money for what you do now, not taking another job. That's the goal.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a7.
It looks like you're headed in the right direction, so go ahead and commit. That's the most important first step in any accomplishment.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 5.
Don't give up on how or when or whom. Just when all hope seems lost, the sun comes shining through. Even if you don't know the answer for sure, somebody helping you does.

Offensive line experienced after last season's comeback
BY JONATHAN KEALING

KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
Last year the Jayhawks' offensive line was unknown and inexperienced, but this year's group is just the opposite.
Coming out of the spring game, Kansas projected to return three starters to their front five; Bob Whitaker, sophomore left guard; Joe Vaughn, senior center; and Tony Coker, senior right guard.
Joining those three are redshirt freshman Cesar Rodriguez at left tackle and junior Matt Thompson at right tackle.
Coker recently broke an ankle and could miss at least three games. Thompson or David Ochoa, sophomore lineman, are possible replacements for Coker's position.
Rodriguez and Thompson replace Adrian Jones, a fourth-round draft pick of the New York Jets. Jones was

Gruber runs in Athens today
Olympic trials challenging for alumnus runner
BY FRANK TANKARD
fankard@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
At 11:56 a.m. today in the newly opened Olympic Stadium in Athens, Charlie Gruber, a former Kansas distance runner, will line up in heat three of the 1500 meter first round against 13 of the fastest middle distance runners in the world.
For most American runners, the path to the Olympics is straightforward: qualify to compete in the Olympic trials and finish in the top three. For Gruber it was not so simple.
On July 18 at the Olympic Trials in Sacramento, California, Gruber, a 26-year-old Denver native who starred on Kansas cross country and track and field teams from 1997-2002, placed second in the 1500 meters with a time of 3:38.45.
Had Gruber run 2.25 seconds faster, he would have started packing for Athens after he crossed the finish line. But as it stood, he still had some work to do.
To make the Olympics, an athlete must reach a minimum qualifying mark for his event, known as the "A" standard, as set by the International Association of Athletic Federations.
Because Gruber's best time was slower than the A standard, he did not automatically qualify for the Olympics when he placed second in Sacramento.
"It was a strange feeling after the race," Gruber said via e-mail from Athens. "It was nice to get second, but that didn't do much for me. There was still much work to be done to achieve the goal I set of making the Olympic team."
The Association set Aug. 9 as the deadline for hitting the A standard.

A Texas twosome could be one step closer to joining the Jahawk basketball team.
C. J. Miles, the sixth-best small forward in the 2005 class according to www.Rinals.com, will visit Kansas on Aug. 28. The 6-foot-5 senior from Dallas is considering Kansas, Arizona and Georgia Tech, with Kansas leading the way.
"Kansas and Arizona are the only two schools that I have scheduled visits to," Miles told Rivals.com. "But if I am really impressed with my time at Kansas, I might be ready to end my recruitment."
Miles might help draw another top recruit to Kansas Kevin Rogers, a teammate on Miles' summer team, will likely follow his friend so they can continue playing together in college.
Rogers, also from Dallas, will visit Kansas on Sept. 25 after

"Playing together at Kansas is something we talk about all the time." Rogers told Rivals.com. He and I have talked about the feelings he has for Kansas and the great tradition."
The Web site ranked the 6-foot-8 Rogers as the 35th-best player overall and the 11th-best power forward.

Basketball Notes
The 6-foot-9 forward from Poplar Bluff (Mo.) High School has scheduled a press conference Monday to announce his college plans for next season. Hansbrough, the eighth-best player in the nation according to Rivals.com, will choose between Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina and Missouri. The senior visited all four schools in the past year, with his last visit to Kansas on May 7.
Those wanting to catch a glimpse of Kansas' exhibition trip to Canada will have one option this side of the border.
Kansas athletics officials announced Kansas' first exhibition game against the University of British Columbia will be shown on Memorial Stadium's MegaVision video screen at 2 p.m., before the football team's 6 p.m. home opener Sept. 4 against Tulsa.
Fans will need their football tickets to be admitted into the stadium early. Gates will open at 1:30 p.m., with the basketball game shown live at 2 p.m.
The stadium will be the only place where the game can be seen in the area.
Fans will be allowed to exit the stadium after the basketball game concludes and re-enter for the following football game.

At a press conference at Hadi Auditorium before the team's first practice, coach Bill Self said he was more excited about these 10 practices than he was about the games themselves.
For the first time since early last season, everyone on the team practiced. Injuries hobbled many on the team last year, especially as the season ended.
"I'm much more excited about this season than last season," he said. "Much more."
"We'll have a full boat practicing today." Self said. "The only one who

According to NCAA rules, a team gets 10 practices of no more than four hours per day before these trips. Also, a team may not exceed 20 hours per week. Self said.

Giddens, sophomore guard, is coming out of an off-season during which he had surgery on his foot.
Self said he planned to use these 10 practices as a football team used its spring practice.
This will be the first trip to Canada for many members of the team, including Self.
"We went through a gentleman that sets these up for a living." Self said. "He's been bugging me for 10 years to do something like this. He was the only person who could give us a contingency deal for going to Coaches vs. Cancer."
"It's a way where you can develop a depth chart," Self said.

Kansas was entered in the tournament because Kansas athletic department officials anticipated a court ruling overturning the rule. The court has yet to decide.
"I've been to Seattle, which is close, but I've never been to Canada," Self said.
Self said while he looked forward to the trip, the team probably would not see as much of the country as it wanted.
Nick Bahe, sophomore guard, has never been to Canada either but was ready to start practice.
The team will hold a scrimmage on Aug. 28 at 4 p.m. in Horeisi Family Athletics Center behind Allen Fieldhouse. It will be open to the public and will be before the KU varsity vs. alumni volleyball match. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. and will close when the building reaches its capacity of 1,300.
"It's exciting to get the guys together early and lace them up," Bahe said.

Family of woman vows to stay 'Teri tough' at her funeral
Don Flack, family spokesman, shares some of his memories of Tert Lea Zenner. Her funeral was held Saturday in Shawnee.
BY ANANDA O'TOILE
aotoleo@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Dozens of pictures of Teri Lea Zenner with family and friends sat on a table outside the main auditorium at Westside Family Church, 6601 Monticello Ave. in Shawnee, on Saturday where more than 600 people gathered for Zenner's funeral services.
A wedding picture with husband Matt Zenner was set above the rest on a pedestal. A silver frame held a photo of the bride and groom on what Don Flack said was probably the best day of Zenner's life, which was only about three months ago.
Flack, pastor and long-time family friend, officiated the services which he called a celebration of Zenner's life.
While friends and family gathered to mourn her death, the hour spent in the auditorium had moments of upbeat memories of Zenner. Some memories incited tears while others made people laugh out loud.
laugh out loud. Zenner, a University of Kansas graduate student, was killed Aug. 17 while she was on a scheduled visit at a client's home for the Johnson County Mental Health Hospital. Zenner had worked at the hospital since last spring.
spring. Hundreds of people had purple ribbons, which are symbolic for violence awareness and prevention, pinned to their clothes Saturday.
"She loved serving the public and people who had a difficult life," Flack said. "People didn't frighten her. She loved the down and out."
Flack said she knew that her job as a
social worker would be a sacrifice, but doubted she knew exactly how inclusive her contribution would be.
Jim Carr, Zenner's guidance counselor at Olathe South, said she was the kind of student whom he would call the backbone of the school.
Friends and family have described Zenner as always having a smile on her face and always had a positive attitude.
A graduate of Olathe South High School, she was a 4.0 student involved in volleyball, basketball and softball.
"She was the kind of student that make schools run — make schools better." Carr said.
Anne Kolarik, Zenner's softball and volleyball coach at Oatlane South, said Zenner always put the team before herself, which sometimes meant sacrificing
a batting position for the good of the team.
Off the field Kolarik said Zenner was a well-liked and hard working student. It didn't surprise her to hear Zenner chose a career in social work because she was a giving and compassionate person.
Flack said Zenner was working on her MBA at the University so she could not only help other people, but teach others how to do so as well. Flack said she had a contagious laughter and her actions often encouraged people around her.
"Many of Teri's clients have told me that she was their inspiration to get better." he said.
Zenner even inspired her husband in her death.

Bid Dav marks end of fall recruitment
BY AUSTIN CASTER acaster@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kelly Mesi sat in 120 Budig Hall on Saturday night with several hundred prospective sorority members, anticipating opening her bid card. She had visited 13 sorority houses during the past week.
Some prospective members tried holding their cards up to the light to try to get a sneak peek. Active members policed the packed hall to make sure every woman opened her card at the same time.
"I'm in a glass case of emotion!" Mesi. Chicago freshman, said.
After a full week of events, members old and new will be able to concentrate

more on schoolwork thanks to an earlier recruitment schedule.
The Pi Beta Phi member served as a recruitment counselor for the first time this year, and led prospective members around to the sorority houses they were called back to.
"Basically our job is to entertain and keep spirits up," said Joanna Kirby, Leawood senior and recruitment counselor.
Kirby, a Kappa Kappa Gamma member, said the new schedule worked better for her.
"You actually have time to celebrate," she said. "And the women aren't exhausted."
However, recruitment week did not go off without a hitch. On Wednesday, each prospective member received a list of events she was to attend. Each house got a list of women coming to their house. Because of a computer glitch, said Stephanie LeClaire, vice president of public relations for Panhellenic, the two lists did not match up. This mix-up resulted in a two-hour delay.
"In order to make it fair for all the women," LeClaire said. "We had to start the dav's events over."
dinners and parties, all prospective members met in Budig Hall to simultaneously open their bid cards. At 7 p.m., Mesi found out she was one of the newest members of Kappa Delta. She and the hundreds of other women excitedly ran outside to find their new sisters. Each sorority had made banners and signs, and members celebrated as their new recruits flooded the sidewalk.
Emily Keating, Manhattan senior and Kappa Kappa Gamma member, said her sorority planned to celebrate with a barbeque and would play games and watch movies all night.

Last year, all in just one week. Norris was fired, kicked out of her office and replaced by an interim director.
Ex-director still has questions about firing
"If you work for 16 years,you put everything you have into it and work hard, and then one day you're gone," Norris said "It's just such a shock."
Neither Norris nor University administration gave a reason for the firing. Almost six months later, Norris is still looking for another job. Meanwhile, some donors and museum staff members are still recovering from the change.
"It's like suddenly getting a divorce," Norris said. "You make plans for the future, and then they're gone."
Norris said University of Kansas officials removed the computer from her desk while she was meeting with Shulenburger.
She was stunned when Shulenburger handed her the letter informing her she was fired as director of the Spencer Museum of Art.
However, directors and other highranking officials serve at the pleasure of the provost, and, at his discretion, he can decide to hire or fire an employee with just cause. Norris was fired March 2, the day she met with Shulenburger.
As director of the museum, Shulenburger said Norris had no security as far as when she could be fired. Usually, unclassified staff, which includes those who serve a dean or a provest at the University, can only be fired during January.

Dole, Clinton continue to speak for nonpartisanship
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Once leaders of opposing parties, Bob Dole and Bill Clinton will continue their unlikely partnership for nonpartisan government at the first official public event of the Clinton School for Public Service.
The Kansas Republican beaten by Clinton in the 1996 presidential election will be the inaugural speaker in a series of seminars sponsored by the new University of Arkansas school, according to an announcement Saturday.
Dole, former Senate majority leader will present a lecture titled "Public Service in the New Century" when the seminar series gets under way on Sept. 18 at the Statehouse Convention Center, according to a news release from the Clinton School.
The school is to be quartered in an old train station being renovated next to the Clinton Presidential Library that is nearing completion on the east side of Little Rock's downtown. But former Sen. David Pryor, dean of the new school, said the building will not be ready in time for Dole's speech, although a reception will be held in the partially renovated structure.
NATION
Pryor said Dole's speech would be a symbol of the nonpartisan spirit that the two former opponents hope to see returning to the nation's politics.
"Today it seems like the country is divided right down the middle ... with two political parties (that are like) two armed camps," Pryor said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Clinton and Dole represent the possibilities for a better way, Pryor said.
"This is a unique story of two political giants, each representing (different) points of view, who have come together in friendship and can speak to the need of the country coming together and healing some old wounds," Pryor said. "This is a wonderful step in that direction."
In May, Clinton gave the inaugural lecture in a series that bears Dole's name at the Robert Dole Institute at the University of Kansas in Lawrence.
In a news release from the Clinton school, the former president said he was honored that Dole had agreed to return the gesture.
"I was always profoundly grateful for his years of service in war and, later on, even more years of service in peace," Clinton said. "It is my hope that those who come to this school seeking to build a career in public
service are guided by his example."
Pryor said Dole's lecture will send "a message from our new school that this won't be an appendage of President Clinton's political policies nor an adjunct of the Democratic Party."
Unfortunately, Clinton will not be able to attend Dole's lecture, Pryor said. In discussions among the school and the offices of Dole and Clinton, Pryor said, "we just couldn't work out" a date when both men could be at Little Rock.
When Dole delivers his lecture on Sept. 18, Pryor said, Clinton will be overseas. Dole understands Clinton's need to keep commitments, Pryor said.
But a good crowd is likely to turn to hear Dole, Pryor said, because the Arkansas Razorback football team will be in town to play Louisiana-Monroe in a night game at War Memorial Stadium that day. The lecture will be delivered at 3 p.m., while kickoff for the game is set for 6 p.m.
The Clinton Library is scheduled to open Nov. 18.
The Clinton School, with classes starting this fall, is to offer a master's degree in public service beginning in the fall of 2005.

JOIET, III. — Dozens of elementary school students and staff who ate chicken in 2002 that was contaminated with ammonia have settled a lawsuit filed against Tyson Foods and two other companies, attorneys said Friday.
NATION
The settlement was reached earlier in the week during a mediation session, said Frank Cservenyak, a Joliet attorney who represented several of the plaintiffs.
The terms of the agreement will not be disclosed to the public, he said.
A broken pipe at a cold-storage facility allowed the chemical to come in contact with the chicken.
About 60 students and employees at Laraway Elementary School in Joliet became ill after eating contaminated chicken tenders
Toxicology tests performed on samples of the chicken tenders found levels of anhydrous ammonia reached 2,500 parts per million. U.S. Occupational and Health Administration standards consider 15 parts per million abnormal in food. Anhydrous ammonia is an industrial chemical used for refrigeration.
While no one who ate the chicken suffered permanent injuries, many became sick, some violently, attorneys said.
The other companies named in the suit were Mecheca Transport, Inc., doing business as Gateway Cold Storage of St. Louis, and Lanter Refrigerated Distributing Co. of Madison, Ill.
Snrinkage of popular lake has residents concerned
BEAN LAKE, Mo. — A victim of drought, this gleaming body of water that once attracted boaters and fishers has shrunk from 720 acres to a mere 1 to 1/2 acres.
Marsh plants and young birch trees now grow where the lake once stood. And some locals are filling the void by building their own private ponds stocked with goldfish or other freshwater species.
Some are hopeful that the dry oxbow bed will again be filled with water, but others are more skeptical.
The lake began receding three years ago and is in its second straight year of collecting almost no water. Non-spring-fed farm ponds in the area also have gone dry.

Anti-virus program bugs students
By MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Brice Sanner spent a great deal of time last week sorting through the multi-step registration process required to activate the KU network, a campus computer network run out of the ResNet office.
When he thought he had completed the process, he was prompted to reboot his computer. After rebooting the computer, a message appeared on the computer screen informing him that he had been registered but he needed to reboot.
Sanner, Horton sophomore, is just one of many students struggling to outsmart the KU Network. In order to register a computer with the network, a user must download a program called "Rings," which comes with a five-step check list. The user must perform a Windows update configuration, a Windows update check, install the anti-virus program Sophos, run a Sophos scan and receive an Internet connection configuration. After these steps are complete, the user will be given an activation number, which allows the user to access the network.
Chris Mehta, Chicago freshman, installed Sophos and then his computer detected a virus, but Sophos did not say how to disinfect the virus.
Both Mehta and Sanner both requested help from ResNet. Mehta said the technician was able to disinfect the virus, and his system is currently operating correctly. Sanner, on the other hand, had to perform the registration process again.
Ann Erney, ResNet coordinator, said that the automated updating features involved with the registration process were there to protect students' computers.
"In the past, when this hasn't been done, infections get into the system and raise havoc throughout the entire network," Ermey said.
Sanner and Mehta are only two of many students who have been experiencing operating problems with ResNet. Some students say the registration is complicated and not user-friendly and ResNet requires that students use the anti-virus program Sophos as opposed to their own anti-virus program.
"The service is fine once you get it started," Mehta said. "I just wish you could use your own anti-virus."
He said that a common problem he noticed in Ellsworth was that people were experiencing a lot of viruses on their computers. Ermey said having one anti-virus program made it easier to locate and troubleshoot problems.
Allison Rose Lopez, public
relations and marketing manager for information services, agreed. She said the main goal of ResNet was to protect the entire network.
"The strength of Sophos is in the uniformity across all campus software," Lopez said.
Sanner said students should be able to use their own anti-virus programs, having experienced serious problems with Sophos last year while living in Ellsworth. Sanner said he used the Norton anti-virus program, but was forced to uninstall it and use Sophos. Not long after installing Sophos, Sanner's computer became infected with the WORM virus. His computer was shut down for three days.
Fortunately for Mehta, his roommate, Kyle Drew, is a sophomore who works as a Network Telecommunications Services customer service consultant and knows about the network. Drew said the new registration system made the system more difficult to install.
"The system is more complicated now because users have to download several programs to get started," Drew said. "You have to be pretty computer literate to run those programs."
Lopez said that she sympathized with students but because of advanced technology, registration is getting less complicated each year.
ear year
When Wes Buck, Overland
Park sophomore, experienced problems with his system, he phoned the ResNet technical service line, but received only an answering machine.
Buck thought a big problem with ResNet was that it was understaffed and not familiar enough with the program to effectively help students.
"They need someone who is really savvy with the system and can easily help people with problems." Drew said.
Ermey said that ResNet has been available to students since last Saturday, visiting each residence hall and helping students set up the KU network.
"We have 23 residential communications consultants working about 10 hours a day since last Saturday," Ermey said. "We have had about 3,200 successful connections in the last four days."
Diana Robertson, associate director of student housing said there were about 5,100 students living in student housing. She said all of those students would use the KU network as their Internet provider.
Rose Lopez said students don't realize that the KU network includes not only their computers, but Blackboard, staff and faculty computers, library catalogues and all academic resources.

She said the biggest responsibility was to protect the 5,100
student machines and all aca demic networks.

Flustered student begins anti-ResNet campaign, website

milening@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Brett Bolton, Lawrence junior, was so fed up with the KU network, he created the Web site, www.cafeshops.com/ruckesnet, which sells apparel with anti-ResNet messages.
"It was mainly just a joke," Bolton said. "We just wanted to make our point that we were sick of our Internet service taking so long to work."
Bolton, who lives in Battenfield Scholarship Hall, said Battenfield residents have been able to remedy the registration problems, but are now facing other problems.
"ResNet has blocked all of our non-http ports," Bolton said. "We can't use any instant messengers, spp sites, Internet games. Basically we only have an Internet browser."
Bolton said it was inconvenient for people who used instant messenger programs to communicate with long-distance friends. His friend Nick Menefee creates Web pages for customers but because the ResNet blocked all the ports, he cannot upload those Web pages.
Bolton also said people have paid money for Internet games that they cannot play.
Meneffe tried to find out why the ports had been blocked. He said he received conflicting reasons for why ResNet blocked all non-http ports.
Meneefe heard the problem
was caused because ResNet was trying to update the hardware. Then he was told it was because of the large number of users.
Bolton said he also receive two stories about the blockage
He was told that there was a problem with virus attacks then heard problems stemmed from NTS updating the system.
Ann Ermey, ResNet coordinator, said the network blocked the ports for security reasons and that it is a temporary situation.
Ermey said her organization
had to order some equipment to ensure the security of the network. The blocks will be released once the network is secured, she said.
Bolton said he was bothered by receiving different stories.
"I think that they are just trying to make the complaints go away until they get it worked out," he said. "But it doesn't seem like they are in too big of a hurry since they are providing us with Internet and e-mail access."
relations and marketing manager for information services, said that service and support is just half of what ResNet does for students. She said ResNet were concerned about easing the transition into college.
Allison Rose Lopez, public
"We anticipate that once students ease into the semester, things will calm down," said Lopez. "But we will still provide service with the same urgency."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
EDITORIAL
www.kansan.com
Free For All: Participate in part of campus culture
Every year the same conversation comes up: Should The University Daily Kansan keep the Free For All, the section of the opinion page where the paper publishes reader comments left on voice mail
Some people believe the Free For All harms the credibility of the Kansan. Yes, it probably does affect the paper's credibility, especially when comments slip through the cracks. It hasn't been without controversy. Last year, for example, people blamed the column for David Padgett's departure from the men's basketball team, saying the negative comments published about his performance drove him away.
Others say the column lacks professionalism, and many have written letters to the editor or called to complain about published statements.
With all this negativity, it's hard to believe that any paper would continue to publish such a column. The Kansan continues because controversial or not, people read the Free For All everyday. Published comments get people thinking and talking. When it isn't published, the phone lines light up with people upset they didn't get to read what their fellow students were thinking on that particular day.
the Free For All is a great way for the paper to connect with its readers. The Kansan is a college paper read by mostly college students. You and your phone calls keep the paper real. You let us know what you really are concerned about and what your interests are. You can criticize the paper or add your
thoughts about articles.
Some people even become icons of the call-in column. Whatever happened to the "Gene Hackman is God" comments or the discussion about pancakes and flapjacks? Where's the that-in-your-pipe-and-smoke-it character? Have people forgotten the official title of the thundersticks once handed out at KU basketball games? From noonan to noonai, Free For All callers become part of the college culture and make the Kansan unique. The next iconic Free For All statement might belong to you, and while your name won't be published alongside your quote, you could still bask in the glory of your Free For All fame.
Call the Free For All, and let the student body know what you're thinking. However, calling all day and leaving obscene and slanderous messages is not okay. The Free For All is edited just like any other section and must be held to the same standard as the rest of the paper.
People want to read statements that are witty, funny, creative, intelligent and perhaps even bizarre. Let the Kansan know what it is doing wrong or doing right. You can call from your residence hall room or the other side of the globe: 864-0500.
Wherever you call from, you can know that your comments add to the culture that is the Kansan. Call today, and by the way, Gene Hackman really is a god who eats pancakes. Or is it flapjacks? Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

On another note; a dormitory is known for a large room where people sleep, and is known for disease and infection. A residence hall is where a community is formed and people actually live in.

Stop excuses for bad parking
GUEST COLUMN
Here's an all too common situation: You decide to park your car in a parking lot for which you do not have a valid parking permit. It's only going to sit there for less than 15 minutes while you run into a building to turn in a paper. When you return, you see that infamous pink envelope lying under your car's windshield wiper. The initial reaction now is to curse at the stalking-in-the-bushes techniques used by the parking department in order to personally ticket your car.
GUEST COLUMN
This is not the fault of the parking department.
In a time when people will sue others for simple acts of common senselessness, it is understandable that college students too would use scapegoats, especially in a situation dealing with money extracted from their pockets.
But there comes a time when college students need to start setting more examples by accepting their personal mistakes
The University of Kansas did not create the parking department in order to funnel money from college students in an uncontrolled, irresponsible fashion. The parking department, much like any other KU department, was established to uphold rules and regulations. The job of the parking department is to regulate on-campus parking.
NATE KARLIN
opinion@kansan.com
Now, you may be saying to yourself that it's only 15 minutes. Sure, it's 15 minutes, but would you make the same conscious decision to park in one of the
millions of handicap spaces at Wal-Mart? Try using that reasoning with the Lawrence Police Department when you receive a ticket.
Every student at the University should expect the sudden appearance of a ticket writer whenever he or she parks in a lot.
The department shouldn't be blamed for a conscious action from a student who is in a hurry.
Here is the difference between the parking department and other KU departments. The parking department is completely self-sufficient. It does not receive tuition or state funding. Donna Hultine, director of parking, said this self-sufficiency allowed the University to spend more money on students rather than on the department.
Because the department does not receive this outside funding, it does not cap off permit sales. Last year, according to the Web site, www.ku.edu/-parking, the department oversold permits by 24 percent.
This may seem ridiculous of the department, but once again don't curse its employees. The oversale of permits is common at other universities, including Missouri, Kansas State and North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
Take another look at the situation from a glass half-full perspective. Would you rather have an opportunity to park on campus or be the student who gets denied a permit because the department has already filled its maximum allotment?
If you choose to buy a permit then think about options to avoid a highnoon showdown with another car in a parking lot.
Schedule more early morning classes.
Perhaps only a few students reading this column will choose to wake up early to find a parking spot and then listen to a lecture. But if some students do take this option, more spaces will be available later in the day.
What you choose to do with parking is your decision. But consider how to avoid a game of beat-the-clock with the parking department before you curse its entire purpose at the University.
After all, you knew the parking department could be stalking in the bushes.

Discover a new comfort zone
Many people here at the University of Kansas - administration, faculty and students - take pride in being a part of a diverse campus. However, when one thinks of diversity on campus, what often comes to mind is ethnic diversity. There are students and faculty of various races, ethnicities and nationalities at the University. But that's not total diversity, much less multiculturalism.

A large chunk of the bigger picture is missing: disabled students. Even the University of Kansas Policy on Diversity of the Student Body neglects to mention disabilities as a component of its diversity spectrum.
The United States Department of Education's National Center for Education Studies states that more than nine percent of all undergraduate college students in 1999-2000 reported having at least one disability. Out of 16,538,000 college students, 1,508,000 have a disability. By these statistics, the University has more than 2,500 enrolled students with a disability.
The office of Services for Students With Disabilities sees only 500 students.
"No campus serves all its disabled students because not all want to identify themselves as disabled, they do not need services or they don't know they
These three causes of the gap between the number of students SSD serves and the actual number of students with disabilities on campus can be addressed and alleviated by increasing awareness of disabilities on campus

"The cultural definition of a disability has tended to focus on visual, hearing, and physical limitations," Rasnak said.

If you have a disability, you should not be ashamed to admit that you have some kind of limitation or to seek assistance. Students who continue to hide their disability may encounter unnecessary problems and stress in college, as well as in the workplace.
Don't bury your disability and make your life harder than it needs to be. Reach out, seek awareness of your disability and learn what you can do to circumvent your difficulties.

Brassoc and State know affecried inter
At some point during your college career or in the workplace, you will encounter an individual with a disability. Awareness of disabilities can help you understand and interact with greater ease.
Step out of your comfort zone. It may be easier to talk with your own friends or stay with the same type of people. But are you really learning anything new? If you meet disabled students, be open-minded and talk with them.
Most importantly, get involved. Volunteer your time. The department is always looking for people to work as note takers, scribes, readers and aides. By volunteering, you can gain a greater appreciation of the difficulties many disabled students overcome in order to succeed in college.
Keep in mind the ancient Chinese proverb, "Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand."
Involve yourself, and you will understand that people with disabilities are not a people set apart. They are just like you and me.

MANHATTAN — If war is hell, then what does it do to a relationship?
will underbilities are are just like
journalism
Briana S. Nelson Goff, an associate professor of marriage and family therapy at Kansas State University, wants to know how combat experience affects couples who are married and dating. She plans to interview Fort Riley-based cou
pies for her study to find out about their experiences in readjusting to life after one member of the couple has served in war.
Some soldiers and spouses don't realize the powerful effect war can have on them or their relationships, said Nelson Goff, who specializes in researching post-traumatic stress disorder and the effects of trauma on families.
"Certainly, a war experience is potentially traumatic," she said. "We hear stories, there are things in the newspapers from family members and from soldiers about how it does affect them."
The research on Fort Riley soldiers will be the second phase of a study that looks at how couples manage the posttraumatic stress that results from a variety of experiences,
Nelson Goff hopes to have the results of the first round of data published this spring.
including abuse.
The current study of Fort Riley couples involves a faceto-face interview, as well as a questionnaire of about 150 questions that address individual symptoms and their relationship.
Couples in the study must be in a current marriage or in a
dating relationship for at least a year.
Nelson Goff said there has been no previous research that comprehensively compares the similarities between couples who deal with the aftereffects of war and those who deal with such traumatic experiences as accidents and domestic violence.
For some, the trauma of war doesn't always have a negative
effect, although it may take time before a soldier begins to show symptoms, she said.
"I think at this point it may be too early to know for sure," she said. "Some people are able to come back and it really affects them immediately. Others can get in the swing of things but it takes time until the effects of their experience, whatever they may be, start to show."
McConnell Air Force Base key player in war on terror
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — The Air National Guard's Network Operations and Security Center is about to become an important part of the war on terror, offering Internet security for more than 300 National Guard sites around the country.
The center, called a NOSC, will service computer networks for more than 100,000 National Guard personnel, protecting the system from
hackers and possible terrorist activity.
It will also work in conjunction with the Kansas Air National Guard's 161st Intelligence Squadron, which provides near real-time analysis of data gathered worldwide by reconnaissance aircraft.
The center will go online Oct.1.
"It is a jewel in the crown for Wichita," said Col. Gary Wells, commander of the 184th Information Operations
Group.
The NOSC at McConnell Air Force Base is one of only 12 in the world that has the capability of conducting computer war gaming and tactics training in computer network defense.
Both the NOSC and a future center for the intelligence squadron are being tailored for expansion as demand for the collection and analysis of information evolves.
The center is going through several weeks of testing to
make sure everything operates the way it is supposed to, Lt. Col. Ross Flynn said.
Technicians will know where every one of its planes and crews is at all times.
Data controlling flight launches and in-flight refueling will be processed through the center.
The 161st already assesses intelligence at an interim facility at McConnell.
Ground for its permanent facility will be broken in the
next 30 days, with construction of the $7.5 million center expected to take up to 18 months.
Just three years ago, the Flying Jayhawks faced extinction after the Air Force decided to retire one-third of its B-1B fleet and shut down the 184th.
The Air Force agreed to convert the 184th into an independent Guard unit handling air refueling and information operations.
When bids for NOSC came
in at more than $7 million the Flying Jayhawks decided to take matters into their own hands.
They studied NOSCs for other military branches around the country, crafting a design using what worked well and discarding what didn't.
The result is a center built in one year for $1.5 million.
"This is a 'sunrise mission,'" Wells said. "That means it's a mission that leads the way into the future."

Guantanamo prisoners to face preliminary hearings
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GUANTANAMO BAY
NAVAL BASE, Cuba — One man allegedly worked as an al-Qaeda accountant. Another, a poet, is accused of crafting terrorist propaganda.
A third drove and protected Osama bin Laden. A fourth, a baby-faced Australian, fought with Afghanistan's ousted Taliban. None are accused of killing Americans.
These Guantanamo prisoners will be the first suspected terrorists arraigned in preliminary hearings this week before their cases go to military commissions, or trials, in an unprecedented judicial process that foreign governments, lawyers and human rights groups have criticized.
While the maximum sentence the four men face is life in prison, the military commissions will have the power to sentence others to death, and there is no independent appeal process.
Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a 34-year-old Yemeni driver for Osama bin Laden, is scheduled to be arraigned first on Tuesday on a charge of conspiracy to commit war crimes for his ties to al-Qaida.
Two of the other men face similar al-Qaida conspiracy charges: Ali Hamza Ahmad Sulayman al Bahlul, 33, also of
The fourth defendant is David Hicks, 28, of Australia, who faces the broadest set of charges — conspiracy to commit war crimes as well as aiding the enemy, and attempted murder for allegedly firing at U.S. or coalition forces in Afghanistan before his capture.
Yemen; and Ibrahim Ahmed Mahmoud al Qosi, born in 1960, of Sudan.
Only four of the Guantanamo detainees have been charged so far, while 11 others' charges are pending approval. Most of the men in the camp have been refused access to attorneys.
All are considered enemy combatants, a classification that unlike prisoners of war, allots
the men fewer protections under the Geneva Conventions. Military commissions are reserved for foreign-born captives and have lower standards for prosecution than American civilian courts.
Navy Lt. Cmdr. Philip Sundel, an attorney for al Bahul of Yemen, who is to appear Thursday, said he hasn't been able to meet with his client in four months and isn't prepared for the preliminary hearing.
Sundel said that although the commission is supposed to be responsible for getting translators he was told to find his own. Then the government held up her clearance so he had to find
another, who didn't work out. A week ago, he won clearance for an interim translator.
"I've operated in courts martial, federal courts and one international tribunal, and this is the only hearing I've entered with not even a clue as to what was going to take place," he said.
Air Force Lt. Col. Sharon Shaffer, a lawyer for al-Qosi of Sudan who is to appear on Friday, has asked to withdraw from the case after accepting a job as a deputy chief trial judge for the Air Force, said Air Force Col. Will Gunn, chief defense counsel.
A new attorney has yet to be found for al-Qosi, who's accused
of worked as al-Qaida's chief accountant, paymaster and supply chief. Shaffer said she will attend the hearing Friday but declined further comment until she addresses the court.
The prisoner who faces the most charges is Hicks, the Australian cowboy and kangaroo skinner who converted to Islam, fought in Kosovo with fellow Muslims, joined Muslim fighters in India-held Kashmir and in 2001 joined the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Hicks is accused of attending al-Qaida training camps in Afghanistan and learning advanced surveillance to use on U.S. and British embassies in Kabul.

Every five years, administrators review the productivity of individuals in campus facilities.

When Norris and the museum were reviewed in 2003, Norris believes the administration decided to release her.
"It's whether the unit is living up to it's potential." Shulenburger said. "You select personnel according to what the potential of the unit might be."
SCHUMMER
When making decisions about hirings and firings, administrators must decide if enough is being done to ensure a facility's progress, Shulenburger said.
Because of employment regulations, Administration officials could not comment on why they fired Norris. But according to the Handbook for Faculty and Other Unclassified Staff, employees are terminated before January only for "seriously inadequate performance," or other similar causes. At the time, Norris was not comfortable talking about why she thought University administration fired her.

But now Norris said she thought her firing had less to do with the work she did, and more to do with the opinions of a few people at the University.

But Nadeau said that since Norris' firing, his and his wife's support for the Spencer has waned.
Not all donors felt as strongly about the change. Larry Marshall, who donated over $100,000 for a glass sculpture at the Spencer, said that Norris
Don Staples, vice provost in charge of the Spencer, could not comment on whether Norris had been treated fairly, or if her firing would affect donors.
was the reason he became involved with the museum. But Marshall said that even though University administrators fired Norris, he has continued to support the museum.

"It takes about a year to find another job," Norris said. "All I can do is keep looking."
Test Prep and Admissions
While searching for a museum director position in the area, Norris keeps herself busy with projects at her cluttered home office.
"I think the institution transcends its employees," Marshall said. "One employee does not make a museum."
"E very musem director
has people that don't like them. If those people have tenure, and the director doesn't, the director can get fired."
In Norris' time at the museum, she grew close with several donors. She gave the names of one couple close to the museum, Richard and Virginia Nadeau. Virginia serves on the museum's advisory board, but her husband said the way KU administration treated Norris could be enough to drive them away.
Norris cannot worry about whether donors still support the institution. She is focused on moving on with her life.
Her friends in the art business are trying to help her find a job, but Norris said museum director positions are a rare find.
Andrea Norris
Former Spencer Museum of Art director
Spencer officials contend that the changes they have implemented since Norris' departure benefit the profiles of the museum and the University as a whole, including advertising and Internet-based museum tours.
"Our relationship with the museum is up in the air right now," Richard Nadeau said. He
Since her firing, Norris worked at a Kansas City Jewish Museum exhibition as a curator, and as vice president of the College Art Administration Conference in her efforts to keep busy
"Every museum director has people that don't like them," Norris said. "If those people have tenure, and the director doesn't, the director can get fired."
"I had made commitments to do quite a few things that were very time consuming. I've been trying to move on with those," Norris said.

said he understood the University's right to fire Norris, but did not agree with the way the provost's office handled the firing.
Richard Nadeau said the advisory committee was not informed that Norris was being reviewed, let alone that the administration was considering letting her go.
"If someone serves for 16 years, they should be honored, not treated like their presence didn't even matter," he said.

He said he would work to get laws and policies changed on how social workers go into clients' homes.
Through tears he told his wife that she was his strength in getting through the ordeal
Zenner said he and his 9-year-old daughter, Alayna, who was Teri's step-daughter, had coined a phrase in the past week to help them gain strength.
They simply look at each other and say, "Teri tough," which, Matt Zenner said reminded them that his wife would not want them to be sad.

"I can't wait to see you again," Zenner said before he left the stage in the auditorium.
Zenner would have turned 27 on Aug.19, two days after her murder.
Zenner is survived by Matt Zenner, Alayna Zenner, her father Andy Mathis and brother Lance Mathis.
He was buried at Shawnee Mission Memory Gardens, 23215 West 75th St. in Shawnee.

Soccer blasts Creighton
www.kansan.com
Five players score in season-opening exhibition game at SuperTarget Field
BY KELLI ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Junior forward Jessica Smith scored two goals Saturday, leading the Kansas women's soccer team to a 6-1 victory over Creighton in an exhibition game at SuperTarget Field.
Smith scored the first goal of the game at the 7:55 mark with a rare assist from senior goalie Meghan Miller. She scored her second goal in the 34th minute when she received a pass from senior midfielder Amy Geha and drove past the remaining defenders to maneuver the ball past the goalkeeper.
"I feel great and healthy," Smith said. The team chemistry is awesome, and I was fortunate to get those two goals."
Smith had an injury-plagued 2003 season but started against Creighton because she has been one of the team's top three

forwards in the pre-season, said coach Mark Francis.
"She had a rough year last year with her injuries," Francis said. "She has been playing well recently, and I'm happy she got the goals."
In addition to Smith's two goals, sophomore defender Holly Gault scored an unassisted goal in the 17th minute, junior forward Caroline Smith added one in the 30th minute and senior forward Rachel Gilfillan punched one in during the 39th minute to close out a five-goal first half for the Hawks.
Leading by five at the break, only a handful of starters returned for the second half, coming in at the 65th minute to
"I wanted to give everyone a chance to play today." Francis said.
Sophomore defender Lacey Novak scored in the 52nd minute and recorded the only goal for Kansas in the second period.
finish the game.
Miller allowed no goals and helped her own cause by punting a ball from her own goal box so far that Jessica Smith took it off the bounce and kicked it in for a goal.
"I whacked the crap out of the ball, and Jess did a good job finishing," Miller said. "I love getting assists."
The Kansas defense held Creighton scoreless for 84 minutes before losing the shutout to a floating goal that sailed over the head of junior goalie Erin Ferguson.
"We didn't get the shutout today." Miller said. "But it's only pre-season, and we bounced back well after they scored."
Francis said the victory was a good warm-up for the team, but it needs to
improve in several areas before the beginning of conference play.
"The overall intensity was good today," he said. "But we need to work on our continuity."
The Jayhawks committed six more fouls than Creighton. They also recorded six off-side penalties, one of which caused a goal by sophomore mid-fielder Jessica Kilpatrick to be waved off.
Kansas had as many goals as Creighton did shots. For the game, Kansas out-shot Creighton 15-6 and booted five extra corner kicks.
A crowd of 628 people came out to watch the exhibition game.
The women's soccer team will begin the 2004 regular season next weekend when it travels to Las Vegas, Nev. to play UNLV on Aug. 28. Its next matchup will be against BYU on Aug. 30 in Provo, Utah
Defensive line looks for aid

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Editor's Note: As the Kansas football team prepares for its season opener against Tulsa on Saturday, Sept. 4, sportswriters Ryan Colaianni and Jonathan Kealing will be taking a position-by-position look at the team's depth chart. A position breakdown will appear every day leading up to the game.
Senior defensive tackle Travis Watkins charged against Baylor two seasons ago. He only played in two games last season because of an injury before the first game but could play a vital role for Kansas on the defensive line this season.
When a football team gives up an average of 412.6 yards of total offense a game, it needs help.
That is the huge number that the Kansas defense allowed last season, and if the unit is to get needed help this season, it starts up front with the defensive line. The defensive line needs to get more pressure on the quarterback to cut down the number of passing yards given up and needs to clog the middle in order to stop the run.
"We have more speed and a little more nastiness," coach Mark Mangino said. "I know we will be better on defense next year."
year.
The speed that Mangino is talking about begins with senior defensive end David McMillan, who is the line's only returning starter. McMillan finished last season with 31 tackles including three sacks he also had an interception and a fumble return for touchdowns. McMillan, a Killeen, Texas, product, was also the team's fifth leading tackler during his sophomore season with 55 tackles.
"I am a senior, this is my last year. I have to give them someone to look up to, he a good example." McMillan said.
File Photo
McMillan will need to also help stop the run as the team gave up nearly 200 yards rushing per game last season including 32 rushing touchdowns.
Also helping the defensive line should be senior defensive tackle Travis Watkins, who only played in two games last season due to an injury he sustained just before the first game of the season. Watkins had
started in all but one game in his freshman and sophomore seasons. He had 75 tackles in those seasons and with him healthy this season, he should give a boost to the unit.
Mangino also received clearance for junior Charlton Keith to play this season.
what we need," Mangino said. "We need to be better at pass rushing off the edge and he can do that very well."
Keith, who played his freshman season at the University of Minnesota and led the Gophers in sacks during his red shirt season, looks to bolster the defensive line. Keith spent most of the summer focusing on academics to ensure his place at Kansas.
Keith has a lot of work to do because he did not participate in spring practice

Forget ESPN:
Greene has his own all-time list
So this summer was the first one I stayed to "enjoy" in Lawrence. Apparently, I missed the memo about how boring it is. Anyway, in my three-month quest to kill time as quickly as possible, I was re-acquainted with an old friend — television.
I'll admit, I became a countdown junkie, and of course that meant I had to find a way to incorporate that into the Jean Short Madness. I resurrected an old column idea I had about two years ago, and I now present to you Ryan Greene's Top 5 Moments of AllTime as a Student at Kansas Football/Basketball Games.
I discovered that every channel now has its own countdown list. They range from the 100 Most Metal Moments on VH1 to the Top 100 Celebrity Makeovers on E! to the ESPN Top 25.
Before I start, let me just clear up that this omits all games I have attended to cover for the Kansan or call play-by-play for JKHJ. Therefore, you will miss out on moments like David Padgett's giving-the-middle-finger-to-all-of-his-critics-with-a-game-winning-jumper against Missouri last March. Also out is the basketball team blowing a monumental first half lead and getting served hard by Arizona's Luke Walton and Jason Gardner in the Fieldhouse two years ago (this was not a favorite moment, but the only time I've ever been more in disbelief in my life was when Jim turned down sex with Nadia in American Pie 2... TWICE!).
5) Nov. 11, 2000 — This day ruled from start to finish. It must have been six degrees outside at kickoff, but it was all forgotten when the 4-5 Jayhawks took a 14-0 lead against national powerhouse Texas. The feeling for those six minutes while the Jayhawks had that lead was the most euphoric sensation I've ever had at a Kansas sporting event to this day.
Plus, before this countdown begins. I must thank my buddy Pump for coming up with the name Jean Short Madness for this column. For anyone who read the Free For All last year, it makes perfect sense. (I no longer own jean shorts. If anyone can give me the exact date and time they went out of style, it would be much appreciated.)
Then, the Jayhawks' only score the rest of the day came on a blocked extra point they returned for two points. Final score: Texas 51, Kansas 16. The funniest part of the day was Kansas cornerback Andrew Davison. Earlier in the week, he proclaimed himself the Big 12's top defensive back. He even showed that it could be half-true when

Sewell was added to the Jayhawks' staff last week to be an assistant coach to Bunge. The move should come as no surprise, as Sewell is definitely no stranger to her new boss.
As her former coach, Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge knows what Jennifer Sewell can bring to a team. Now her players will have the opportunity to find out as well.
Bunge recruited her to play catcher while coaching at Ohio University and had the opportunity to watch her develop as both a player and a leader. In her four-year playing career, Sewell
was a key component of Ohio's team. Her resume includes an all-Mid American Conference selection and a team Most Valuable Player Award, all while serving as co-captain.
As a coach, Sewell has served as an assistant at Princeton
SEWELL
University since her playing career ended in 2000, joining then first-year coach Maureen Davies.
During her time in the Garden State, the Tigers won Ivy League championships in 2002 and 2003 capturing berths in the NCAA tournament both seasons.
The program also broke the school record for wins in a season in 2002.
Last season, Sewell took over head coaching duties on an interim basis when Davies took maternity leave.
Bunge said she wasn't surprised at Sewell's success and expects her winning attitude to be a big plus at Kansas.
"Jen had a great presence as a student-athlete", Bunge said. "She was extremely talented in addition to being a great leader, which is something that will translate into very positive things to the program."

Bunge thinks that Sewell's biggest impact could be on the Jayhawk hitters. Kansas finished 2004 with a team batting average of .205, which was dead last among Big 12 Conference clubs.

"We also want to fine-tune the recruiting process, which will help increase the national prominence of the program."

"I couldn't be more thrilled to be here," Sewell said. "This is an opportunity of a lifetime for me. It is exciting to be working with coach Bunge, especially since she left (Ohio) before I started playing there. She is a true player's coach and a great person."
As for Sewell, she feels that Kansas is right where she belongs.

Sewell's hiring fills the assistant coaching vacancy left by the departure of Julie Wright, who departed Lawrence to take the head coaching job at the University of Akron.

Intramurals to change format
Bv JESSICA FERGEN

KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
Intramural sports veterans take note. For the first time in almost 20 years, Recreation Services is changing the process by which students register for intramural sports.
The change, which will be implemented immediately, allows the manager of each team to register online. This reserves a team a spot for the season.
"We've wanted to go to online for awhile and this is our first opportunity to utilize the program," said Kurt Schooley, intramural sports director. "It's been a slow process."
After registering, all managers will attend the managers' meeting to sign up for a playing time.
preference is assigned based on order of registration.

Schooloy said he wanted online registration to allow more students to play sports, because the system is more convenient. In previous years, students were required to register in-person at Robinson Center or the Student Fitness Recreation Center. For those who don't have trouble registering or want help with the process, they may still register at the
Rec Center.
Recreation Services has also revamped the playoff system. Before playoffs begin, Schooley plans to hold an end-of-the-season managers' meeting.
Jim McClintock, Holton junior, stretches to catch a pass. McClintock played football yesterday afternoon on the lawn in front of Memorial Stadium, citing the beautiful weather for getting him outdoors. "It beats being inside," he said.
Catch of the day
"We'll discuss procedures, themes throughout the season, misunderstandings, and also schedule playoffs," said Schooley.
With the implementation of a ranking system during the season, higher-ranked teams will be able to choose what time they play, and whom they play. In past years, playoff spots were assigned without teams' input and were often scheduled at inconvenient times.
"I think it'll be a lot more convenient because last year we had a lot of problems with the girls being able to show up for the time we were randomly assigned," said Kalena Grogan, Gardner sophomore. "This way, if we're good enough, we can actually be able to play in the tournament."
Recreation Services offers 12 individual and team sports in the fall semester.
Hag football and sand volleyball will begin registration tomorrow. A full schedule may be obtained from Recreation Services.

Dockingreturnstop practice after Sweet16 finish in N.Y.
MEN'S GOLF
University of Kansas golfer Tyler Docking's week may have come to an end at the U.S. Amateur from Mamaroneck, N.Y., but he certainly made a name for himself.
The Olathe sophomore competed against 312 golfers trying to qualify for match play at Winged Foot Country Club.
Docking made it to the Sweet 16 before he bowed out.
Only the top 64 scores advanced to the match play rounds.
He qualified for the U.S. Amateur on July 26, when he won the U.S.
Amateur Sectional Qualifying at Milburn Golf and Country Club in Overland Park.
The U.S. Amateur tournament is split up into two forms of play: match play and stroke play.
The first two rounds consist of stroke play format, after which the top 64 scores are compiled to see who advances to the match play rounds of the tournament where participants go head-to-head in single elimination competition.
He shot rounds of 72 and 68 to win the tournament and advance to New York.
Docking began the tournament by shooting an impressive 73 last Monday in rainy conditions. He shot 73 on Tuesday as well, placing himself
17th out of the 64 qualifiers.
He was the 21st seed going into match play.
Docking opened up match play on Wednesday against 44th seed Brendan Hester of Sutton, Mass.
In a closely-played contest, Docking prevailed 3 and 2, leading Hester by three holes with two to go.
The second and third rounds of the match play tournament were set for Thursday.
That morning, Docking faced his second-round opponent, 53rd seed Madalito Muthiya of Zambia.
The two players were tied after 18 holes, but Docking held off Muthiya in a sudden death playoff, winning after 20 holes.
Unfortunately, that victory would be
the end of Docking's good fortune.
The tournament's third round show cased Docking against 5th seed Andy Svoboda of Stamford, Conn. Svoboda had plenty of experience at Winged Foot, where he was a former four-time club champion.
Docking began the match four down after seven holes.
An 11th-hole birdie allowed Docking to narrow his deficit to one, but that was as close as he got, and Svoboda went on to win the match 3 and 2.
Docking now resumes practice with the rest of the Kansas golf team in preparation for The Ridges Intercollegiate on Sept. 11 from Jonesborough, Tenn.

he returned an interception for a touchdown in the first quarter. But after that one moment, he was torched by Texas' Roy Williams for 180 yards and two touchdowns. Of course, Davison eventually found himself in the NFL. Go figure.
To top it all off, my roommate and I got a chance to meet Texas' Major Applewhite, who is one of the all-time class acts in sports, hands down. After Kansas students taunted him all day, he came and gave his gloves to freezing fans who stuck around after the game and even signed some autographs, one of which still sits on my desk.
4) Jan. 28, 2002 — It is a must to include a Kansas-Missouri matchup in Allen Fieldhouse. Aside from Drew Gooden dropping a 26-point, 10-rebound bomb, the two classic moments of this night were a) Dick Vitale signing my "MUCK FIZZOU" shirt before the game and b) Arthur Johnson going up for a dunk, getting blocked by the rim and landing square on his ass.
And Missouri illegally paid him
(Note: At this point in my column, the power in my entire apartment complex went out. I screamed at my dark computer screen for five minutes. I swear, computers are a close second to Clear Pepsi for the title of "Worst Invention of the Past 100 years.")
Unfortunately, I was one of them, and I actually got on the goalpost. But you know what? I was in the second row, and everyone around me was doing it, so it was either storm the field or get smushed into the steel benches. The saddest part of this story? I wasn't even drunk.
3) Oct. 21, 2000 — I take more shame in the events of this day than any other in my four years at Kansas. Colorado was supposed to be a Big 12 title contender at the beginning of the year, but was 1-5 when the team came to Lawrence for this matchup. The Jayhawks eeked out a 23-15 victory over the underachieving Buffers, and 300 students thought the less-than-impressive victory merited rushing the field.
2) Feb. 5, 2001 - A lot of people
might wonder why I would put a Kansas basketball loss at home on my list, but it was not necessarily the game that was the best part of the night. A struggling Kansas team faced Iowa State, who I thought at that point was the best team in the Big 12. The fireworks were before the game, when my buddy Matt started the "GED" and "High School Dropout" chants toward Cyclone point guard Jamaal Tinsley, who, let's just say, had some academic issues.
I do not know if this had any effect on Tinsley, but he did go on to score 18 points, dish six assists and nail three three-pointers in the Iowa State victory.
And let's not forget the bonehead play of the season at the end of the game. KU was down 79-77 with seconds left and inbounding the ball, and Luke Axtell airballed a 30-foot three instead of hitting a WIDE OPEN Nick Collison under the hoop for the tie.
Plus, I swear to God, after two of those threes, he looked right up at our section and stared. Pure comedy.
If you've never been a part of a loss at Allen Fieldhouse, there may not be a creepier feeling in the world.
for my first Kansas/Missouri game. All that time I spent camping was made worthwhile in the opening minute, and unfortunately it was at Kansas' expense. Missouri freshman Rickey Paulding, who by the way was the only Tiger to deserve his scholarship that afternoon, drove the lane on the game's second possession and did to Eric Chenowith what Vince Carter did to that Australian 7-footer in the 2000 Olympics.
1) March 4, 2001 — I remember camping out for a week in preparation
Paulding took off and almost completely jumped over Chenowith, Eric probably got about an eye-level view of the Nike logo near the crotch of Rickey's shorts.
Classic. I swear, if it were anyone other than Chenowith defending the play, I could not believe it without seeing it.
OLYMPICS
I guess by this point, you might be wondering what the point of this column is if you haven't figured it out yet. The only message here is to now go and make memories of your own, with football season kicking off Sept. 4. Remember, your time in the student section can only last for so long.

Grubermissesoutonchance for1500-meterOlympicmedal
Former Kansas standout Charlie Gruber barely missed advancing to the 1500-meter semifinals Friday.
Gruber placed ninth out of 14 in the third and final heat of the first round in 3 minutes, 41.73 seconds. He led for over half the race before fading.
Manuel Damiao of Portugal finished one place ahead of Gruber in 3:39.94 and qualified for yesterday's semifinals. Michael East of Great Britain won the heat and clocked the fastest time of the round in 3:37.37.
The top five finishers from each heat and the next nine fastest advanced. The slowest qualifier, James Nolan of Ireland, ran less than a second faster than Gruber at 3:41.14
Neither of the other two Americans in the event fared well in the first round. Grant Robison of California finished second to last in heat one, but was ruled eligible to compete in the semifinals because another runner tripped him. Alan Webb, a 21-year old phenom from Virginia, placed a disappointing ninth out of 13 in heat two with a time of 3:41.25 and was the fastest runner not to advance.

Josi Lima, junior middle blocker, is the first Jayhawk to earn the honor of All-Conference middle blocker two years in a row.
Newcomers recognized by Big 12 coaches

KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
The Kansas volleyball team is trying to replace one of the most talented classes in the program's history.
According to the Big 12 coaches, the Jayhawks are off to a good start. The coaches' picks for conference preseason Freshman of the Year and Newcomer of the Year wear the crimson and blue.
Coaches picked Emily Brown, freshman setter and outside hitter, and Paula Caten, junior outside hitter, for the respective honors at an Aug. 9 meeting.
They join preseason All- Conference junior middle blocker Josi Lina in the team's quest
to reach to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament.
Last season, the team lost to the Pepperdine Waves in the round of 32 after winning their first ever tournament match over Long Beach State in the first round.
"We lost some great players, but I think it's a realistic goal," Lima said of the team's goal to reach the regional semifinals.
Former outside hitter Sarah Rome, the team's all-time kills leader, leaves the largest void on the team, but the additions of Brown and Caten will help make up for her departure.
Brown, at six-foot-two, won All-State honors last year at Baldwin High School.
She was also named to the high school All-American "Fab 50" by Volleyball Magazine.

players, but I think it's a realistic goal [to reach the regional semifinals]."

This is her second time on the All-Conference team, and she becomes the first Jayhawk to earn the honor two years in a row.

Kansas has never had three players receive preseason honors in the same year.
The coaches were not as kind to the Jayhawks in the team rankings.
The Big 12 conference promises to be very competitive this year, coach Ray Bechard said.
Conference coaches ranked his team seven in the Big 12, behind, in order, Nebraska, Kansas State, Texas, Texas A&M, Missouri and Colorado.
"We're just going to use it as motivation," Bechard said.

Ticket special intends to keep Jayhawk fans in stands
BY MIRANDA LENNING

KANSAN SPORTSWITER
University of Kansas Athletics Department officials noticed an overwhelming amount of Kansas State football fans when the Wildcats traveled to Lawrence last fall.
They saw the same problem when the Kansas volleyball team played Nebraska at the Horsejsi Family Athletics Center.
Center. This year, the department wants to make it more difficult for opposing fans to purchase tickets to Kansas home games.
As a result, football fans can attend the three marquee games on the 2004 home schedule for $105.
The mini-package includes tickets to the games against Kansas State, Colorado and Texas.
Texas. Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said the main
goal behind the packages was to encourage fans to come to a number of games and to make the Jayhawks' home-field advantage more of a factor.
"We have too many opposing fans buying tickets to games," Marchiony said. "We want to make these games more accessible to our fans and less accessible for opposing fans."
Economically, the football mini-package is a good deal, averaging $35 a ticket.
Single game tickets to the Colorado and Texas games are $35 each, and tickets to the Kansas State game are $65 each, saving those who buy the mini-package $30.
Additionally, fans get to see three games that highlight the Jayhawks' home schedule. Kansas State, aside from being an in-state rival, is one of the preseason favorites to win the Big 12 North thanks to tailback Darren Sproles, a Heisman
"We talked to the coaches
at length to make sure that they were on board with the idea. We hope the attendance in both sports will go up and they will make the games more accessible for our fans."
Jim Marchiony Associate athletics director
Trophy hopeful.
PACKAGE DETAILS
Colorado, after facing an offseason scandal that placed coach Gary Barnett on administrative leave, is hoping to make news on the field in 2004.
Football mini-package includes tickets to the Kansas State, Colorado and Texas football games at Memorial Stadium, available for $105 per pack.
Volleyball mini-packages includes tickets to the Nebraska, Kansas State and Missouri games at Horejsi Family Athletics Center for $20.
Texas needs to rack up all of the conference victories it can to contend with Oklahoma in the Big 12 South.
"We included three of the best games on the schedule in the mini-packs purposely to attract our fans." Marchiony said.
There are four sections at Memorial Stadium designated for mini-package ticket sales.
On the west side of the stadium, sections four and 17 are available.
On the east side of the stadium, sections 36 and 37 have been allotted for mini-pack ticket holders.
The sections on the west side of the building are close to the end zone and the sections on the east side are located at the 20- and 50-yard lines.
The athletic department hopes to do the same thing to increase ticket sales and attendance from Kansas fans at 2004 home volleyball games.
In a separate package, fans will be able to purchase tickets to the Nebraska, Kansas State and Missouri volleyball games for $20.
"Kansas State, Missouri and Nebraska draw huge crowds themselves," Kansas volleyball coach Beach Chard said.
"But sometimes a lot of those fans are from opposing teams. The push is to get as many
crimson and blue fans as we can."
Students can attend home volleyball games for free with a current a student ID, and student season tickets for football are available for $35.
"With the size of our facility, we want to educate fans on how they can get involved and support our team," Bechard said. "We feel that when people come the first time, they will come back."
The idea stemmed from administrators in the department, but Marchiony said coaches contributed as well to make it a team effort.
"We talked to the coaches at length to make sure that they were on board with the idea," Marchiony said. "We hope the attendance in both sports will go up and they will make the games more accessible for our fans."

Piscopo, 53, declined to identify those who approached him, saying Friday that they wished to remain "in the background." He made no reference to whether he would run in a gubernatorial race.

Shields returns to stage in Wonderful Town'
NEW YORK — Brooke Shields will soon be joining the cast of the Broadway revival of Wonderful Town.
Shields will replace Donna Murphy on Sept. 28 as writer Ruth Sherwood, a young woman from Ohio determined to make it big in New York in the 1930s.
The musical was first done on Broadway in 1953. The revival opened last November and won a 2004 Tony Award for best choreography for its director-choreographer Kathleen Marshall.
Shields has worked on Broadway before, taking over for Rosie O'Donnell as Rizzo in the long-running revival of Grease and she later played Bowles in the Roundabout
Theatre Company production of Cabaret.
Hip-hop stars headline voter education event
ST. LOUIS — it had all the hallmarks of a concert — screaming fans, an emcee warming up the crowd, a DJ breaking beats.
But the head of the organization holding Friday's Hip-Hop Summit, Russell Simmons, wasn't there to play around.
"This is serious business," Simmons said. "These people sit here for three hours and learn."
More than 5,000 people came to the city's convention center to hear a panel of hip-hop stars — including rappers Nelly and Jadakiss — discuss why registering to vote has an impact on their communities. The event was led by Simmons and former NAACP president Ben Chavis.
The purpose was to draw on the collective voting power of millions of young people.

rhelpswins sixthgold medal unconventionally
ATHENS, Greece — Michael Phelps won another gold medal, this time wearing khaki shorts and flip-flops.
From a front-row seat at the Olympic pool, Phelps watched his teammates do all the work in the 400-meter medley relay Saturday night. When they won with a world-record time,
Phelps got a gold, too — his record-tying eighth medal of the Athens Games.
"It felt like I was part of that race," said Phelps, who earned his gold by swimming the event in the preliminaries.
Phelips led the U.S. contingent in cheers, pounded the side of an "Athens 2004" sign, waved an American flag and screamed "Go Jason!" as Jason Lekaz completed the rout, easily retaining the lead built up by Aaron Pearsol, Brendan
Hansen and Ian Crocker.
When the scoreboard flashed "WR" — world record — Phelps threw up his arms to celebrate.
"I'm proud of giving someone like Ian another chance."
"I can't tell you about how exciting it is to be on the other side of the sport," he said.
Phelps' eight total medals tied Soviet gymnast Aleksandr Dityatin's record at the boycotted 1980 Moscow Games.

or the summer workouts.
"He has some ground to make up here physically and mentally, but we won't rush him," Mangino said.
Mangino is also relying on junior Tim Allen who had 23 tackles last season including a sack as a sophomore. Competing with Allen is sophomore Chris Brant, who was a member of the scout
team last year.
Tyler Community College transfer Jermial Ashley will be expected to shoulder a large part of the reps at defensive end due to the loss of John McCoy, whose Army Reserve unit was mobilized. He will compete with Keith for the position.
"Jermial Ashley is on the defensive line getting better every day," Mangino said. Ashley had 41 tackles during his sophomore season, with four sacks and three
forced fumbles.
Freshman Todd Haselhorst, from Olathe, may see some time this season as Mangino has been very impressed with him through the summer workouts.
"Todd Haselhorst is a big guy who is a lot quicker than most people think because he worked so hard all summer with our strength coaches," Mangino said.

Gymnast keeps gold despite contention
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS, Greece — Paul Hamm thought his fantastic finish was too good to be true. Maybe he was right.
The International Gymnastics Federation ruled Saturday that Yang Tae-young was unfairly docked a tenth of a point in the all-around final, costing him the gold medal that ended up going to Hamm.
The South Korean got the bronze instead.
The federation suspended three judges, but it said the results are not going to be changed in a case that brought back memories of the figure skating scandal at the Salt Lake City Games in 2002.
Although there are no signs of impropriety by the gymnastics judges, the South Koreans will now ask the Court of Arbitration for Sports to determine if Yang deserves a gold medal.
"We want obvious mistakes to be corrected," said Jae Soon-yoo, an official with the South Korean delegation.
Hamm came all the way back from 12th place with two routines left Wednesday night to become the first American man to win the gold in the Olympic all-around.
He won the meet over South Korea's Kim Dae-eun by 0.012, the event's closest margin ever.
Yang was 0.049 behind Hamm,
The 0.100 points deducted from Yang's start value in parallel bars — the difficulty of the routine — was the difference between third and first.
Without the mistake, Yang would have won gold, Hamm silver and Kim bronze.

Kline's CD ban questioned
BY STEPHANE FARLEY
sfarely@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFP WRITER
The American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and Western Missouri is seeking more information from Phill Kline, Kansas attorney general, about his decision to keep more than 30 CDs from being delivered to Kansas libraries.
The CDs were the result of a 2002 lawsuit brought by the state governments of New York and Florida against music distributors Bertelsmann Music Group, EMI Music Distribution, Warner-Elektra-Atlantic Corporation, Sony
PETER RUBY
KLINE
Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group. The lawsuit, which settled alleged price-fixing between 1995 and 2000 that made prices unusually high, also targeted music retail chains Trans World Entertainment, Tower Records and Music Land Stores. Forty-one other states eventually joined the lawsuit. Seven million CDs, valued at $75.7 million, were delivered to public libraries across the United States. The Lawrence Public Library received 650 CDs.
The ACLU is also seeking information a list of all the CDs that were sent to libraries, a list of the CD titles that were unacceptable, a copy of the settlement agreement and an explanation of how Kline's office evaluated the CDs.
Whitney Watson, spokesman for Kline's office, said only 33 titles out of 1,725 CDs were not sent to libraries in Kansas. The CDs were not sent because
they met one or several of criteria: violence against women, drug abuse, gun violence and violence towards law enforcement.
enrolment.
If libraries want some of the titles that were not delivered, they can sell some of the CDs that they don't want, and buy some of the titles the libraries would like to have, Watson said.
"We're not telling anybody what they can and cannot have," Watson said.
Judith Krug, director of the Office for Intellectual Freedom of the American Library Association, said Watson was only partially correct, but there was more to what Watson said.
Receiving CDs actually costs libraries money, Krug said, because the CDs have to be cataloged and placed on the shelf. Normally, placing something on a shelf does not cost money, but some of

The four perimeter players - seniors Aaron Miles, Keith Langford, Michael Lee and sophomore J.R. Giddens — will be in the rotation, though it is unknown whether Hawkins, or guards Alex Galindo, Russell Robinson, Jeremy Case or Nick Bahe will join them.
Self said he felt Hawkins had the talent to compete for the opening guard spot, but that the suspension would put him behind. He learned of Hawkins' troubles when school started last week.

Lawrence residents took shelter last night as tornado warning sirens blared throughout campus and town.
The Lawrence Police Department plans to hold a briefing this morning.
ing sirens blared throughout campus About 9 p.m., Kansas Public Radio reported a tornado touched down near Clinton Lake. Paula Phillips, director of the Douglas County Emergency Management Center, said she could not confirm the reports.
The sirens, flash floods and power outages were enough to stir Lawrence last night.
"I was just singing songs on the porch and watching the girls run by," Barton said.
Some students ran to their cars. Some students ran to their bessets. And one student sang Iron Maiden songs.
emblems. And one student sang from maths room Jared Barton, Great Bend freshman, lives in Jefferson Commons and sang from his balcony last night as students ran to find shelter in a complex without a shelter.
Barton's lyrics were certainly appropriate as he invited the storm to pour the rain down on him as he reached over the railing in an attempt to entertain.
severe thunderstorm warning.
In a nearby apartment, roommates Ali Starks, Iola junior, Alyson Algrim, Garden City junior, Ashley Drescher, Great Bend junior, and Erica Gilmore, Iola senior, remained calm.
Starks said some of her roommates were freaking out at first but she was able to calm them down.
Barton's roommate, Mark Stansfield, Great Bend freshman, said he was disturbed that Jefferson Commons hadn't given residents set procedures for what to do during a tornado or severe thunderstorm warning.
Reports of flooding were issued shortly after the tornado sirens ended. According to Kansas Public Radio, Topeka received more than two inches of rain in less than two hours.
But flash flooding, Phillips said, was a major problem. Some areas of Lawrence were flooding more than others, including 19th Street and Naismith Drive and 19th Street and Ousdahl Road.
The Jaybowl in the Kansas Union was also a victim to the floods.
Phillips said that although she and other storm watchers saw several funnel clouds, they were fairly confident that no tornado had touched the ground.
As of 11:30 p.m., Phillips said the EMC had received no reports of damage or injuries. The warning sirens only operated for six minutes.
Josh Peters, Leavenworth sophomore, said he was stranded at the Jaybowl arcade when it began to flood, but he did have one accomplishment: He barely saved Dance Dance Revolution from the waters rushing into the bowling alley.
Across town at Oliver Hall, students experienced a much different scenario. Mike Launius, Chicago freshman, said a resident assistant told him and his friends to take cover downstairs. Even after the sirens stopped, the students had to leave the building when the basement flooded.

Imam Ali Shrine damaged
THE ASSOCIATED PRESO
NAJAF, Iraq — U.S. infantrymen engaged in fierce battles with cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's militants yesterday, and U.S. tanks moved closer to the Imam Ali Shrine as the American military stepped up pressure on the insurgents to leave the holy site and end their uprising.
Late yesterday, witnesses said U.S. warplanes bombed the area of the Old City. Ahmed al-Shaibany, an aide to al-Sadr, said shrapnel from the attack hit the shrine's golden dome, one of its minarets and the compound's outer wall. The U.S. military denied responsibility for the damage.
Militant medical officials said at least two insurgents were killed and four wounded.
Hussein Hadi said two civilians were killed and two others injured.
Al-Hakim Hospital employee
Al-Sadr, whose Mahdi Army fighters are behind the uprising, has not been seen in public for many days.
His aides denied rumors that he had fled toward Sulaymaniyah in northern Iraq.
Worries that the violence could spread brought new calls yesterday to end the fighting in Najaf.
end the fighting in Iraq.
The Najaf fighting, which began Aug. 5, has killed at least 40 Iraqi policemen, eight U.S. soldiers and dozens of civilian bystanders. The U.S. military says it has killed hundreds of al-Sadr fighters, though the militia says its casualties have been far lower.
Interim government officials sent mixed messages to insurgents in recent days, first threatening to raid the shrine which would infuriate the nation's
Shite majority — then backing down and saying they were willing to wait for a peaceful solution.
Al-Sadr's aides said Friday that they would turn over the shrine to Shiite authorities, but the militants still had not withdrawn by yesterday.
Interior Minister Falah Hassan al-Naqib said the government would not wait indefinitely.
"Certainly there's a limit, and I think the period has started to narrow," he told Al-Arabiya television yesterday.
U. S. State Department spokesman Adam Ereli said that U.S.forces will not be involved in a move against the holy sites.
The militants see U.S. troops as unwanted occupiers and view their very presence in the streets of Najaf as a provocation, even if the soldiers do not attack them first.

Pizza delivery vehicle stolen outside Templin Hall Sunday
A delivery driver who was in a hurry to get pizza to Templin Hall on Sunday learned a difficult lesson: Turn off and lock the car.
A KU Crimestoppers report released yesterday announced a pizza delivery vehicle was stolen Sunday at 1:45 a.m., while parked in front of Templin Hall.
The delivery driver left the 1995 white Chevy Cavalier unlocked with the engine running, the report stated.
yesterday morning, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office.
The driver saw an unidentified suspect drive his car away as he left Templin, the report stated.
When the report was published, the two-door car was last seen leaving 15th Street heading west.
But luck was on the pizza driver's side: The car was reported recovered to the KU Public Safety Office at 3:40
The vehicle was found in St. Joseph, Mo., Bailey said.

It had nothing to do with literature, either. An ambulance responded to reports of a woman in need of medical attention.

Hall Family Foundation board appoints Hemenway to roster
Chancellor Robert Hemenway was elected to the Hall Family Foundation board of directors, Donald J. Hall, Hall Family Foundation chairman, announced yesterday.
Hemenway is the third KU chancellor to be appointed to the Hall Family Foundation board. The appointment will begin immediately.
The Kansas City-based foundation pledged $42 million to further life-sciences research at the University of Kansas Hospital and scholarship in the humanities at the Hall Center for the Humanities.
This remains the largest private gift to a college or university in Kansas history.

Democrats select Lee Jones to battle Brownback
Democrats met in Wichita Saturday to name Lee Jones, a 53-year-old locomotive engineer from Lenexa, to run against Sam Brownback for the U.S. Senate.
The news came after Robert Conroy, a 76-year-old railroad worker and primary winner, dropped out of the race two weeks ago.
Marilyn Greathouse, Democratic Party chairwoman for Douglas County, said she thought he would be a good candidate.
"The problem will be the money," Greathouse said.
She said Brownback had more than $1 million to spend on a campaign compared to tens of thousands for Jones.
Justin McFarland, Lenexa senior and chairman of the KU College Republicans, said that it was not impossible for Jones to beat Brownback, but extremely unlikely.

Denver-based talk show host Mike Rosen enraged Robson's father with a rant about how unintelligent teenagers had become.
"I used to call him up," George Naas, Robson's father, said. "I told him my daughter would hand him his lunch in a debate."
Rosen responded to Robson's father's comments by offering to debate her on the talk show.
Robson said she was nervous, but Rosen did not ask any hardball questions and she emerged from the debate unscathed. Rosen was so impressed that he offered Robson, then a high
school sophomore, an internship at KOA 850 AM in Denver. There she began her career in talk radio.
Now 29, Robson stuck with radio and now hosts "Politics with Rachel Robson" on 90.7 KJHK from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Fridays.
Robson, a graduate student in the School of Medicine, plans to discuss issues that are important to her; local Kansas politics.
"I was concerned about elections," Robson said, explaining how she got the idea. "If you were listening to local media you would get an average of 46 seconds on local candidates during the election season."
She plans to tackle a variety of political issues, ranging from the Board of Education to local elections to splits among Kansas Republicans.
Robson spends a few hours
researching topics before each show to prepare for her guests, which include political figures such as U.S. Rep. Jim Ryun (R-Kan.).
Like many radio talk shows, Robson also fields questions from from listeners during her show, though some interviews with high profile politicians such as U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.) and his Republican opponent in the upcoming race, Kris Kobach, may have to be pre-recorded. (Robson said listeners with questions for those candidates should e-mail them to rachel.robson@gmail.com.)
Robson said she asked guests for a few topics they would like to discuss before the show so she wouldn't dominate the discussions.
"It's basically impossible to remain completely objective," Robson said. "I have strong
opinions."
opinions. Robson made her opinions clear in the column she wrote for The University Daily Kansan while working on her undergraduate degree in biology.
Her previous KJHK program, "Real Alternative Radio," won top awards from the Kansas Association of Broadcasters every year it aired.
Though genetics are her specialty, talk radio and politics will always have a place in her heart.
"My parents, especially my dad, were huge talk-radio junkies," she said.
Her father said he may be biased but had complete faith in his daughter's debating skills
"People like Rush Limbaugh don't always get their facts right," Naas said. "But it's hard to debate with Rachel."

Jaywalk volunteers to escort students, faculty at night
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGLIA
lfrancoviglia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Students can rely on JayWalk volunteers to escort them home when walking on campus late at night starting Sept. 12. The program is taking the first three weeks of school to prepare.
JayWalk, a safe-walk program created last year by Student Senate, is in the process of recruiting and training new volunteers. The program has between 30 and 40 volunteers now, but Triston Dewees, JayWalk business manager, said the number of possible volunteers was limitless. And this year, there are incentives. Four $250 scholarships will be awarded to the top volunteers at the end of the semester, Dewees said. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation
performs background checks on all layWalk volunteer applicants.
Dewees, Wichita sophomore, said that because it was the beginning of the school year, and it stayed light outside later, he didn't foresee many students needing the program yet.
But when the program does start up, Dewees said he expected improvements.
Dewes is asking for an additional $5,000 per year to fund
The program will also become an official part of Student Senate, meaning that an advisory committee will oversee it to ensure the program does not fade away. JayWalk has a budget of $10,000 — $5,000 from Student Senate and $5,000 from an Educational Opportunity Fund, a government grant — but Dewees said he thought the program warranted more.
the program, he said. The budget covers phone use at Anschutz Library, publicity, salaries and supplies. He said the additional funds would be needed because he predicted more students would use the program in its second year.
Students can call between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday to have one male and one female volunteer walk them home or to their car or wait with them for their ride. JayWalk volunteers primarily walk students to and from campus locations, but volunteers will walk as far as three blocks off campus with students.
Dewees said students usually waited only 10 minutes for the JayWalk volunteers, and that two teams of students volunteered per night. When students call, the desk clerk for JayWalk will inform them of the volunteers' names and will give them a description of the volunteers for safety reasons.
safety reasons
Lindsay Poe, 2003-2004
JayWalk coordinator and KU
graduate, said an average of 15
to 20 people per month used
the program last year. Poe initiated
the creation of JayWalk last year
with the help of the Campus
Safety Advisory Board.
She saw a need for a safe-walk program after seeing the results from a survey compiled by a Student Senate task force, she said. The survey gave recommendations on how to fulfill women's needs at the University. It found 47 percent of women on campus limited their evening classes because they thought they were unsafe, she said. Because the survey found 27 percent of women thought they were unsafe on campus at night.
Poe said JayWalk was a program meant to combat women's fears.
Steve Munch, student body president, said even if only 100 people per semester used JayWalk, he thought it was still a worthwhile program.
JayWalk is available to female and male students, faculty and staff. Dewees, who is a JayWalk volunteer, said he didn't remember any men using JayWalk
However, Kathy RoseMocky, program director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said men shouldn't ignore the program because they could be victims, too.
"Men should feel confident in calling," she said.
Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president, said the program had done its job and students felt safer walking at night because if it. He said that if students perceived they were unsafe walking alone at night, they would feel unsafe, regardless of the statistics.
"It's all about perception, really," said Dunlap, Leawood senior and JayWalk volunteer last year. "Perception becomes reality."
Dunlap said if students thought they were in danger, they would not use the library or other resources on campus as much.
Dewees said another JayWalk desk could be set up in Lewis Hall to have closer access to the Lied Center, where many students park, but he did not know when this would happen.
Dewees said JayWalk benefited students more than just increasing their safety. He said students could meet new people and explore the campus at night.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
EDITORIAL
For students, registering in Lawrence more logical
www.kansan.com
With the upcoming elections, many citizens of Lawrence are registering to vote and
are registering to vote and following the local campaigns. But how many students at the University of Kansas are doing the same thing?
The answer is relative, said Marni Penrod, Deputy of Elections at the Douglas County Courthouse downtown. She said that 11,348 people between the ages of 18 and 24 are registered, which is only 20 percent of those eligible.
The registration is low, especially considering how much local politics affect our lives here at the University. Penrod brings up several local issues, including one — the smoking ban — that will most likely be on the ballot this November.
The ban in restaurants and bars has been in effect since July 1 of this year, and many KU students have come back to find the new rules not in their favor. Penrod said a petition is going around Lawrence and is expected to collect the number of signatures necessary to make the ballot this November. Other issues may concern KU students, but may not appear directly on the ballot of the upcoming election, she said.
The City Commission, another body elected by local votes, deals with the zoning issues related to the new Wal-Mart proposed for West Sixth Street. Whether students are in favor of the convenience of Wal-Mart, or the charm of Downtown Lawrence that Wal-Mart would challenge, they should voice their opinions in the City Commission elections this spring.
While registering now will not directly affect that issue, it cannot hurt
Penrod says that contrary to the beliefs of some out-of-state students, anyone 18 or older can register to vote in Lawrence.
"It's not about being a tax-paying resident." she said.
A student must choose whether to vote by absentee ballot in their home state or register here in Lawrence. The convenience of Lawrence might draw more voters, and if so, she says they will cancel your other registration. What a deal. They will even do it for us!
There is no excuse not to register and vote, even if local issues are not important to a student. An absentee ballot can be obtained with the right help. Students just need to call their county clerk or contact their secretary of state. The last day to register to vote here is Oct. 18 for the November election.
Besides the hassle of absentee voting, why should voters register here? Several local issues affect the University, and while living here, KU students are more affected by local issues than issues back in their hometowns. The smoking ban, and the Walmart zoning are issues students can have a say in. For the students without cars, the improvements to the T, the Lawrence bus system, should be pertinent. Another big state-wide issue is education funding.
education funding
By registering to vote here rather than in a home state, a student can voice his opinion about where state tax dollars should go.
You have no excuse not to voice your opinion locally, or back at home if that's your preference. Get out and register, be heard and be proud of the great results you helped create for Lawrence.

Start asking about sex in society
Before I slather you with opinions, I would like to take the chance to introduce myself. I'm a 20-year-old sociology major who loves baking cookies. I'm an upper-middle class white kid, who loves comic books and 80s dance music. Now you can hold a conversation with me if you are inclined.
I'm not a sex god. I have had intercourse with a whopping zero people—well, I did get really, really close three times. I've had my first sexual experience at age 12, I've been sexually involved with nine boys, and I've made out with countless people.
If you didn't notice from the previous sentence, yes I'm gay. Out at age 15.
Yes, my parents know and my friends know. No, I'm pretty sure I don't like girls.
Now you know enough that I hope you can trust me and understand where I'm coming from.
So then we get to the second question: Why am I doing this? Well, being able to rant weekly for 500 words about sex is gratifying.
SEX COMMENTARY
six is gorgeous.
I also think that sex and the culture that surrounds it are amazingly interesting. What shapes our sexual desires and norms are more bizarre than most people know.
Because I'm not able to be very indepth with this article here's my overall view on the sexual scene for our age group. We're in the tail end of the

STEPHEN MOLES
opinion@kansan.com
What shapes our sexual desires and norms are
more bizarre than most people know.
Sexual Revolution with remnants of conservative sexuality looming everywhere. But everyone is trying to be open-minded.
How do you know when you're dating someone? Is there any significance to sex other than physical gratification? What about kissing? Is monogamy overrated? How do you know when you're a slut? I wonder about those things.
Monogamy, while still the norm, is nowhere-near as prevalent. The terminology we use such as "dating" and "going steady" are so ambiguous and flexible, that it's impossible to know what other people are thinking. Ask three different people what "seeing each other" or what "dating" means and you'll understand.
Moral relativism is running rampant, which can be cool, but makes figuring out what is right for you 20 times more difficult. I think it's scary.
If not, well, maybe I can just teach you to give better blow jobs. Because what else is there to do on a slow Tuesday night? I mean, c'mon, cable television isn't that interesting.

COMMENTARY
Summer effectively ended this week end. Regardless of whether your first or last months at the University of Kansas rest before you, the question remains the same: What will you do with your semester?
We face two options. A bag of Doritos and Sportscenter over a cellphone conversation about where to socialize Thursday night is the first. Without a doubt, laziness and fun have a special place in the college experience.
But, working towards ideas on how to improve the University and Lawrence ,the second option, needs to rest higher on the ladder of early semester goals.

Many reasons stand against involvement. We've all heard them. Time: there's never enough. Apathy: no one else cares. In some cases, opposition. Bemoaning the problems of the community or the difficulty in solving them accomplishes little.
Positive change requires a different perspective.
People may always doubt what you say, but they are requiresd to believe what they see you doing.
Everyone cares about something, and the University provides an ideal place to turn ideas about these concerns into concrete action. Organizations such as Student Union Activities, Student Senate and more than 100 other campus groups (on a list available at the Center for Campus Life or at

Activity rewards. Involvement builds personal networks. Just by showing up you will meet people and make friends. Involvement builds upon itself. One activity leads to another. Involvement builds personal justification.
People may always doubt what you say, but they are required to believe what they see you doing.
Now is the time to get started. Whether your goals have University, local or national implications (or all three), other students will share your opinions if you are not intimidated by the task of spurring action. Three students alone can create a campus program.
It's too easy to watch VH1 and remain disinterested all the time. Relaxation should be tempered by a healthy balance of caring for something solid.
The bottom line is that the University is a place where everyone can enjoy anonymity, but also enjoy the benefits of finding smaller, connected groups within the seemingly endless crowd. With the right attitude it's not only easy, but a personal obligation, to have the best of both.

The breakfast meeting at Ritz Charles in Overland Park, however, won't be open to the public. It will be for donors and invited guests, Todd Abrajano, campaign manager, said.

Abrajano said that Kobach's campaign staff was excited about Cheney's visit. This is the second visit by a national Republican leader since Saturday when House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-III.) spoke.
"It means that Washington is taking us very seriously," Abrajano said. "They're bringing out all the important Washington leaders."
English
Abrajano said Republican leaders had put this campaign "at the top of the list," because they saw Moore as a vulnerable target.
Paul Johnson, professor of political science at the University, said that the most important effect of the visit would be financial.
"It signifies to the donors that they think he can win,"he said, referring to the national Republican leadership.
"I don't think it influences voters very much, if at all," Johnson said.
Samantha Horner, Leawood senior, worked on Kobach's campaign this summer as a door-to-door canvasser. She also distributed fliers and lawn signs for the candidate.
She said she hoped the vice president's visit would help validate Kobach's candidacy because he won the Aug. 3 primary against Adam Taff by only 207 votes, who ran against Moore in 2002.

Taff supporters will get on Kobach's bandwagon and defeat Dennis Moore. Dick Cheney should help with that."
She said she thought the general election would be very close.
Josh Steward, Hays senior and vice-chairman of the KU College Republicans, said he thought that Cheney's visit would enhance Kobach's image.
"it think it will further establish Kobach's position as a real conservative," he said.
That would differentiate him from Taff, Steward said, because he is more moderate. Steward said he thought the Republican Party needed someone to stand up for conservative values.

Vice president Dick Cheney waves to reporters after landing at the Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport in Kansas City, Mo., yesterday. Cheney will speak at a breakfast for Kansas Republican 3rd District Congressional candidate Kris Kobach today in Overland Park.
"If you ask a random person in the 3rd district whether they've heard of Kris Kobach or Dennis Moore, they'll probably say Dennis Moore," Steward said. "Having a prominent name associated with Kobach will help get his name out there."

BAN: Libraries question Kline's decision
Krug said. "Our concern is that we become a dumping ground," Krug said.
the CDs libraries received are remaindered and not sold in stores anymore. Krug said remaindered CDs often don't come in cases and sometimes the CD is broken. It is hard to sell back a product that is unusable, Krug said.
Krug said libraries were sometimes getting stuck with unusable CDs that libraries did not want. Kline's intent was admirable, Krug said, but his office did not bother to check with librarians and city boards to determine what was good for communities.
The two major problems with Kline's decision, Krug said, were that no librarians were involved in the decision and that the role of libraries in society is to provide choice and choice cannot be provided when music titles are being selected for them.

are being trained. Louise Hanson, head of adult services for the Lawrence Public Library, said she found it interesting that the majority of the withdrawn CD titles were already in circulation in Kansas libraries. Some of the CD titles, or at least the artists, have already been deemed fit by librarians, Hanson said, so in a way Kline is saying that he does not approve of material we have already deemed appropriate.
Outkast's album, *Stankonia*, is an example of a CD on Kline's list that the Lawrence Public Library already has in its collection.
Kurttenhauer said.
"I think that what his office did is un-American," he said. "It is censorship in the strictest degree."
Dick Kurtenbach, executive director of the ACLU of Kansas and Western Missouri, said Kline's decision was censorship by a government official. Kline and his office made a determination of what the values of a certain group of people are, which the government can't do, Kurtenbach said.
Bruce Flanders, director of Lawrence Public Library, said
"I think that what his office did is un-American. It is censorship in the strictest degree."

some of the CDs the library received would not be added to the library because some of them were already in the collection and some were multiple copies of the same CD. Flanders said he wished the libraries had been allowed to select the CDs.

Gordon as cornerback could hurt Jayhawks
Welcome back, Jayhawks. As you continue to get back in the routine of waking up before noon and going to class, the Sept. 4 game against Tulsa is quickly approaching.
The wide receivers should tear it up this year. On paper, senior Brandon Rideau, junior Mark Simmons, and sophomores Charles Gordon and Moderick Johnson are returning as a core group that collected 161 catches for 2363 yards and 19 touchdowns. Those statistics are pretty impressive for a group that was young a year ago and should only improve this year. At least that's what you would think.
The team's leading receiver from 2003 and most versatile player has been moved to the defense. Gordon is a gifted athlete, and you need him to help out a defense that surrendered more than 390 yards of total offense and more than 30 points a game last season.
But Charles Gordon has since been moved to cornerback and Johnson may be academically ineligible for the season. What a buzz kill.
season.
But I still don't understand what Mangino is doing by moving one of his best offensive players to the defense. Whatever gap Gordon fills on the defensive side won't make up for the gaping hole he leaves on offense.
Gordon was a freshman All-American by The Sporting News as both wide receiver and kick returner a year ago. He was third-tier Big I2 Conference as a kick returner. Gordon led the team in receptions and was tied for the team lead in receiving yards.
Mangino can't seriously be doing this. Gordon belongs on the offense helping Adam Barmann become the next great Kansas quarterback.
Johnson, who was the least-used receiver of the group a year ago, was supposed to take on a larger role in offensive coordinator Nick Quartaro's system this season. That probably won't be the case. Johnson may have to sit out a year or transfer to a Division II school to see playing time this year if his academic woes persist.
Enter solution No. 2. Let's make senior kickoff specialist Gary Heaggan a wide receiver. As a transfer from Purdue, Heaggan has the talent to play receiver, but he lacks the experience, having only caught three passes for 41 yards and a touchdown a year ago.
What's the solution you ask — the move that will correct this problem? Coach Mangino has moved sophomore Jonathan Lamb to wide receiver. A safety a year ago, Lamb now makes the transition to a new position, on the other side of the ball with a new quarterback. Doesn't that just sound enticing? Sure, that will work. Right
Maybe the coach is right about permanently moving Gordon to cornerback. Mangino did make this team competitive in only his second season after nearly a decade of ineptitude.
I hope he's right expecting that the talent of Simmons and Rideau is enough to shoulder the load at wide receiver and that Heaggans and Lamb can contribute when called upon.
The coach has not officially announced whether this decision is permanent. That will be clearer in the coming weeks. I hope everything works out for Mangino and his boys, but I suspect you may see more of Gordon at wide receiver than the coach had planned.

Stay classy.

'Weakest link' no more: Experienced offensive players switch to secondary
BY JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
Editor's Note: As the Kansas football team prepares for its season opener against Tulsa on Sept. 4, sportswriters Ryan Colaianni and Jonathan Kealing will be taking a position-by-position look at the team's depth chart. A position breakdown will appear every day leading up to the game.
Last season, Kansas' defense was considered by many to be the weakest link with a passing defense ranked seventh and a rushing defense ranked ninth in the Big 12 Conference.
If recent practices are any indication, the secondary will not be the weakest link in any chain this season.
Friday, the football team held its first open practice of the post-two-a-day practice period.
In several scrimmages between the offense and defense, the corners and safeties often appeared to be catching more passes than the wide receivers.
"We didn't play well, but that happens," quarterback Adam Barmann said. "The defense played well, but we didn't play well."
Kansas strengthened its secondary in the offseason by adding former wide

receiver Charles Gordon to the cornerback spot.
On the other end, Jonathan Lamb was moved from safety to wide receiver. It was not a declared sophomore switch, but it amounted to just that. Lamb was moved because of a chronic and re-occurring injury.
That injury is believed to be stingers, but coach Mark Mangino will not give details.
With Lamb moving, Gordon gave up his receiver slot to help out the vulnerable secondary.
Gordon was last year's leading receiver in total yards and yards-pergame.
Now he hopes to bring his talent to a position that has been a weakness for the team.

One or more players to redshirt

Though all are practicing now, not all members of the Kansas men's basketball team will play in the team's upcoming exhibition trip to Canada.
Coach Bill Self said at least one player would redshirt this season, meaning he would not play with the team this year, but instead save his year of eligibility for a future season.
"We will definitely redshirt someone," Self said. "They can make the trip, but they just cannot play."
Sophomore guard Jeremy Case pretends to interview sophomore forward Moulaye Niang while sitting with freshman guard Nick Bahe during Media Day on Thursday. Case and Bahe are likely candidates to be redshirted this season, saving a year of eligibility for a future season.
NCAA rules prohibit redshirts from playing in any games in a season, including exhibitions. Self and his staff will hold a few players out of the Canada games who might redshirt this season. He said if there was even a 5 or 10 percent chance a player would redshirt this season, he would be held out of the exhibition games.

shirt.
Self said it was unlikely that any of the six incoming freshmen — guards Russell Robinson, and Alex Galino and forwards Darnell Jackson, Sasha Kaum, Matt Kleinmann and C.J. Giles — would redshirt, and also said that at
This leaves sophomore guards Jeremy Case, Nick Bahe and Stephen Vinson as likely candidates to consider a redshirt. Bahe and Vinson are both walk-ons, but still could sit out to save a year of eligibility. Junior Jeff Hawkins, who is also a guard, will not play in the Canada trip because of suspension. Hawkins redshirted his freshman season at Kansas, making him unlikely to sit out the season.
Bahe said he thought the end result of redshirting a player would be positive for the Jayhawks in practices and in the future.
"I think whatever comes out of that is great." Bahe said. "As long as there's competition and it makes Kansas a better team, so be it."
ter team, so be it. The decision on redshirts will not be made until after the Canada trip, but Self said he had previously discussed it with certain players and their families.
"We wouldn't do it without talking to them and their parents." Self said.
The Jayhawks start their exhibition trip to Canada on Sept. 4 against the University of British Columbia. Kansas will play four exhibition games in three days, with two games scheduled for
Sept. 5.
Kansas began its first of 10 practices last Thursday. The Jayhawks will hold their only open practice 4 p.m. Saturday at the Horejsi Center. The volleyball team will follow a 7 p.m. exhibition match.

next great hurdle quartaro
Johnson, who was the least-used
receiver of the group a year ago, was
supposed to take on a larger role in
offensive coordinator Nick Quartarto's
system this season. That probably
won't be the case. Johnson may have
to sit out a year or transfer to a
Division II school to see playing time
this year if his academic woes persist.
What's the solution you ask — the move that will correct this problem? Coach Mangino has moved sophomore Jonathan Lamb to wide receiver. A safety a year ago, Lamb now makes the transition to a new position, on the other side of the ball with a new quarterback. Doesn't that just sound enticing? Sure, that will work. Right.
Maybe the coach is right about permanently moving Gordon to cornerback. Mangino did make this team competitive in only his second season after nearly a decade of ineptitude.
The coach has not officially announced whether this decision is permanent. That will be clearer in the coming weeks. I hope everything works out for Mangino and his boys, but I suspect you may see more of Gordon at wide receiver than the coach had planned.
Jack Weinstein is a senior from Overland Park in English.
I hope he's right expecting that the talent of Simmons and Rideau is enough to shoulder the load at wide receiver and that Heaggans and Lamb can contribute when called upon.
Stav classy.

'Weakest link' no more: Experienced offensive players switch to secondary

Editor's Note: As the Kansas football team prepares for its season opener against Tulsa on Sept. 4, sportswriters Ryan Colaiani and Jonathan Kealing will be taking a position-by-position look at the team's depth chart. A position breakdown will appear every day leading up to the game.
Last season, Kansas' defense was considered by many to be the weakest link with a passing defense ranked seventh and a rushing defense ranked ninth in the Big 12 Conference.
if recent practices are any indication, the secondary will not be the weakest link in any chain this season.
in any chain of schools. Friday, the football team held its first open practice of the post-two-a-day practice period.
In several scrimmages between the offense and defense, the corners and safeties often appeared to be catching more passes than the wide receivers.

On the other end, Jonathan Lamb was moved from safety to wide receiver. It was not a declared sophomore switch, but it amounted to just that. Lamb was moved because of a chronic and re-occurring injury.
That injury is believed to be stingers, but coach Mark Mangino will not give details.
With Lamb moving, Gordon gave up his receiver slot to help out the vulnerable secondary.
Gordon was last year's leading receiver in total yards and yards-per game.
Now he hopes to bring his talent to a position that has been a weakness for the team.

One or more players to redshirt

Though all are practicing now, not all members of the Kansas men's basketball team will play in the team's upcoming exhibition trip to Canada.
Sophomore guard Jeremy Case pretends to interview sophomore forward Moulaye Niang while sitting with freshman guard Nick Bahe during Media Day on Thursday. Day and Bahe are likely candidates to be redshirted this season, saving a year of eligibility for a future season.
Coach Bill Self said at least one player would redshirt this season, meaning he would not play with the team this year, but instead save his year of eligibility for a future season.
"We will definitely redshirt someone," Self said. "They can make the trip, but they just cannot play."
Jared Soares/KANSAN
NCAA rules prohibit redshirts from playing in any games in a season, including exhibitions. Self and his staff will hold a few players out of the Canada games who might redshirt this season. He said if there was even a 5 or 10 percent chance a player would redshirt this season, he would be held out of the exhibition games.
"Don't read into it that they are going to redshirt," Self said. "Read into it that there is a chance they might redshirt."
least one guard would be considered
Self said it was unlikely that any of the six incoming freshmen — guards Russell Robinson, and Alex Galindo and forwards Darnell Jackson, Sasha Kaun, Matt Kleinmann and C.J. Giles — would redshirt, and also said that at
"I don't know who it will be," Self said, "but we have about eight perimeter players and we'll probably only play five or six."
five of six.
This leaves sophomore guards Jeremy Case, Nick Bahe and Stephen Vinson as likely candidates to consider a redshirt. Bahe and Vinson are both walk-ons, but still could sit out to save a year of eligibility. Junior Jeff Hawkins, who is also a guard, will not play in the Canada trip because of suspension. Hawkins redhirted his freshman season at Kansas, making him unlikely to sit out the season.
Bae said he thought the end result of redshirting a player would be positive for the Jayhawks in practices and in the future.
in the future.
"I think whatever comes out of that is great," Bahe said. "As long as there's competition and it makes Kansas a better team, so be it."
The decision on redshirts will not be made until after the Canada trip, but Self said he had previously discussed it with certain players and their families.
"We wouldn't do it without talking to them and their parents." Self said.
The Jayhawks start their exhibition trip to Canada on Sept. 4 against the University of British Columbia. Kansas will play four exhibition games in three days, with two games scheduled for
Sept. 5.
--made after last year's Elite Eight matchup with Georgia Tech.
Kansas began its first of 10 practices last Thursday. The Jayhawks will hold their only open practice 4 p.m. Saturday at the Horejsi Center. The volleyball team will follow a 7 p.m. exhibition match.

Pitcher now with contender
Playing in the rain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS Over time, Cal Eldred has learned to embrace the bullpen.
The right-hander came to the St. Louis Cardinals in the spring of 2003 looking to compete for a spot in the rotation. Before undergoing reconstructive elbow surgery, he had been a top starter for the Brewers and White Sox.
But he quickly settled into long relief, and lately has been one of the more reliable members of the bullpen. He assumed a more prominent role after injuries to Mike Lincoln and Kiko Calero, appearing in 15 of 31 games in a stretch of heavy activity ending Thursday. It's been high quality, too. He's allowed runs in only eight of his last 29 appearances.
"I believe being a starting pitcher in the big leagues is the best job in America," Eldred said. "Being a realist, this is where I am and this is what I need to do to help the team.
"So it's what I'm doing."
Manager Tony La Russa believes Eldred, who has won 10 or more games five times in his career, could be a starter again. But he and pitching coach Dave Duncan also believe the move to the bullpen is best for Eldred's longevity, and La Rusa noted that Eldred has been injury-free both of his seasons as a reliever.
Kit Leffler/KANSAN
"This is a good role for him." La Russa said. "I think he could be a good starter on this team, but it would be a question of Would he be able to stay healthy?"
Eldred, 36, isn't arguing the point. Not after seven stints on the disabled list, all but one for his elbow, from 1995-2002. He missed the entire 2002 season and had to make the Cardinals as a non-roster invitee.
The Kansas football team practices in the rain yesterday afternoon at Memorial Stadium. The Jayhawks' first game is Sept. 4 against Tulsa
The opportunity of pitching in the postseason also is a nice incentive. He's never made it, and he'd much rather be in the Cardinals' bullpen than starting for a middle of the pack team.
"We're into August and I haven't had any problems, so you've got to pay attention to that," Eldred said. "I feel fine, my body feels good, and I think this is something that may actually turn out to allow me to play for a few more years."
"I spent eight years with a team that when you're at the All-Star break you're making your offseason plans, and that's not so much fun," Eldred said.
And with age, Eldred has gained a better perspective.
"If I'm 26, I may feel totally different about the situations, but now sometimes I think my thinking is a little closer to that of a coach than a player." Eldred said.
Eldred came to St. Louis at the urging of catcher Mike Matheny, a close friend.
He wants to return next year, possibly even if Matheny isn't with the Cardinals anymore.
"I think they also know how well these two guys have worked together," Eldred said. "I'm glad I don't have to make that decision."

Spain remains undefeated
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS, Greece — Spain could have tanked its game against New Zealand, thereby eliminating European rival Serbia-Montenegro from medal contention.
Instead, the Spaniards came to play yesterday and won 88-84, knocking New Zealand out and keeping the defending world champions in medal contention.
In a game marked by hard fouls and confrontations, Carlos Jimenez made two free throws for a four-point lead with 12.4 seconds left following an intentional foul by New Zealand's Dillon Boucher, who violently threw Jimenez to the floor.
The intentional foul allowed Spain (5-0) to retain possession, and the four-point lead was key as Pau Gasol missed a pair of free throws with 9 seconds left.
The Spanish team, locked into the top spot in its round-robin group, had two choices: Try to win and finish the opening round unbeaten, or take a loss and thereby end Serbia-Montenegro's last chance to advance to the quarterfinals.
Though it may not be too sporting, the well-timed intentional loss has
been a part of international basketball competitions.
At past Olympics, teams often did whatever was necessary to avoid a matchup with the United States in the quarterfinals.
Nobody is too worried about the Americans nowadays, but the potential for a tank job remained.
If Spain had lost, New Zealand would have finished the preliminaries with a record of 2-3 and would have had the tiebreaker edge over Serbia-Montenegro.
But Spain's victory meant that Serbia-Montenegro only needed to defeat China in an afternoon matchup to advance to the quarterfinals.
The Americans will finish third or fourth in its group, depending upon the outcome of Monday night's Greece-Puerto Rico game.
A Greek win would put the Americans into a quarterfinal matchup with Spain.
"I would think there would be some (Spanish) players resting," U.S. assistant coach Gregg Popovich said.
If Puerto Rico wins, the Americans would next play Argentina or Italy.
"It'll be good to be back to 0-0 and have a chance to win the gold," U.S.
t'll be good to be back to 0-0 and have a chance to
"
win the gold.
Carlos Boozer U.S. basketball forward
forward Carlos Boozer said
The Americans weren't taking their latest Olympic defeat, a 94-90 loss to Lithuania, too hard.
The shock factor wore off following their 19-point loss to Puerto Rico in their opener.
"They've realized as the tourney has gone along that everybody's pretty good," Popovic said.
The game against Angola (0-4) figures to be the easiest of the Olympics for the Americans, though it'll be nowhere near as lopsided as the Angola-U.S. game in 1992 when the Dream Team opened the Barcelona Olympics with a 116-48 victory over players who had holes in their sneakers.
Those days of American dominance are long gone, which is part of the reason these U.S. players were able to put the latest loss — and their mealy 2-2 record — behind them so easily.
FOOTBALL
Athletics events spiced up for coming football season
The Kansas Athletics Department has announced a host of promotions that will run throughout the football season.
Kicking off the promotions will be the only televised presentation of a Kansas men's basketball exhibition game.
At 1 p.m. on Sept. 4, the MegaVision at Memorial Stadium will show Kansas take on the University of British Columbia.
In order to watch the game, which will only be broadcast at the stadium, fans must hold tickets for the 6 p.m. kickoff of the football season.
"These promotions are a way to thank our great football fans for their loyalty," athletics director Lew Perkins said. "This is a great example of how teams work together."
In addition to the basketball exhibition, Sept. 11 will be Armed Forces Appreciation Day.
The Richard Petty Driving Experience will be at the games on Oct. 9 and Nov. 6. Also on Oct. 9, the U.S. Army's Golden Knights will perform a parachute exhibition, while Nov. 6 will feature a hot air balloon on the hill. The hot air balloon will return Nov. 13.
"We've got a terrific home schedule and these promotions are a way to give our fans even more value," coach Mark Mangino said.

Chiefs defeat Rams at Arrowhead
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The NFL's highest-scoring offense is clicking. Pressure is sure to increase on Kansas City's woeful defense to get its act together, too.
Trent Green hit 10 of 12 passes and Priest Holmes averaged 5.2 yards on six carries last night as the first-team offense scored on two of its three possessions in a 24-7 exhibition victory over St. Louis.
The offensive starters, who led the NFL in scoring each of the past two years, also scored on two of their three possessions against the New York Giants last week in their preseason opener.
"I thought offensively we played very well," said Green, who was 10-for-12 for 94 yards. "It was good to see a good mix of run with the pass."
Adding to a bad night for the Rams (0-2) was starting cornerback Travis Fisher's broken arm.
Fisher, who tied for the team lead last year with four interceptions, was injured in the first half.
Holmes had 31 yards on six carries and scored on a 2-yard run for a 7-0 lead in the first quarter.
On the Chiefs' third possession, Derrick Blaylock scored on a 1-yard dart around right tackle. Larry Johnson set up the touchdown with a 14-yard run after bumping into Green and nearly fumbling the handoff.
The Chiefs' defense, which finished 29th in the league last year and has undergone a drastic scheme change under new coordinator Gunther Cunningham, shut out the Rams' regulars and even got involved in the scoring.
"I'm very pleased for our defense," Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil said. "We've made some progress."
With 1:07 left in the half, linebacker Shawn Barber stepped in front of Arlen Harris, intercepted Marc Bulger's pass and returned it 60 yards for the touchdown, putting the Chiefs (1-1) up 24-0.
"I was in the right place at the right time," Barber said. "We were just trying to play the whole field and be very aggressive. Sometimes you can put the quarterback in an awkward position and he thinks things are open that aren't open."
Bulger was 8-for-15 for 67 yards and got sacked three times behind the Rams' patchwork offensive line. Marshall Faulk, playing more than normal this early in the preseason, carried six times for 16 yards.
Faulk's understudy, first-round draft pick Steven Jackson of Oregon State, scored on a 6-yard run with 7:29 left in the third quarter.
Each team's defensive reserves dominated their offensive counterparts in a sloppily played second half.
Morten Andersen, the NFIs No. 2 career-leading scorer who is locked in a battle with CFL star Lawrence Tynes, connected from 28 yards in his only field goal attempt.
gold attempt.
Holmes, who set the NFL touchdown record last year, looked particularly sharp in the opening drives. He came out of the backfield to catch Green's pass on third down and went 11 yards in the first scoring drive. He added carries for 10, nine and two yards.
Notes: The Chiefs' Lyle West drew a 15-yard clipping penalty on the Rams' second punt and sustained a hamstring injury on the same play. . Vice President Dick Cheney, in town for a campaign appearance on Tuesday, sat with Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt in his box. ... KC middle linebacker Kawika Mitchell left in the second half with an ankle sprain.

Gordon is a strong player on all sides of the ball, but he will not see much, if any, action on offense, Mangino said.
"What we are not going to do is play him both ways," Mangino said. "It's not fair to him. He won't be as effective a player and help our team the way he would want to."
Deadline for Registration is Sept. 1st
Last season, Kansas recorded 12 total interceptions. Half came from the trio of Lamb, current senior Tony Stubbs and current junior Rodney Fowler.
While Lamb was lost to the offense, both of the other two return. In addition, most of the players who recorded just one interception return as well.

Stubbs sits at the top of the depth chart at strong safety, while Fowler commands the free safety position. Stubbs was an All-Big 12 honorable mention last season. He recorded 98 tackles and broke up five passes in addition to his two interceptions.
With Gordon lodged in one of the corner positions, the other corner spot will probably fall to junior Theo Baines.
Fowler played off the bench all season, recording limited playing time, but he managed to pull in two interceptions, both coming in the last game of the season.
With the loss of last year's quarterback Bill Whittemore and his proven ability to put points on the board, the secondary will have to play tighter defense to keep the Jayhawks in

quickly. "He is a highly intelligent young man so he is absorbing his new position pretty well," Mangino said.
Mangino sadd. Mangino is not the only one who has been impressed. Sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann also has praise for Lamb.
"The timing of the routes, how you have to run, it is totally different from defense and he picked up on it so quick, almost effortlessly," Barmann said. "It's not like he has to spend extra time working on his routes. It just comes naturally to him."
Lamb is still unsure as to whether he is a possession receiver or one who is able to catch balls over the middle. He will likely see time as the team's third wide out. Despite the return of wide receivers Brandon Rideau and Mark Simmons, Lamb still has an opportunity to be a starter, Mangino said.
Barrman has also been impressed with Lamb's athleticism and ability to catch the football.

"John is good at catching tough balls, balls that I throw bad to him, take them off the ground or get up and catch them in the air," Barmann said. "He is fearless. He'll go over the middle, he'll jump up with a safety rolling over the top, ball on the sideline. He will take that whack and catch the ball. He's just a receiver you love to throw to."
"He is in there fighting for a job. There are a lot of good players there. It could happen, sure," Mangino said. "It would be more up to him than me."
The other receivers on the team, such as junior Simmons and senior Rideau have helped Lamb better grasp the position.
"The route running, technique wise, all the other receivers have a few years on me, knowing how to come out of breaks," Lamb said. "I am working on that, and I am getting better."
"He will take that whack and catch the ball. He's just a receiver you love to throw to." Adam Barmann Sophomore quarterback
Lamb has also been working at the punt return position, but will not likely see time there as sophomore Charles Gordon has that position locked up.
Lamb played quarterback and wide receiver in high school, as well as various positions on the defensive side of the ball.
Lamb also served as the teams extra point holder, a job that he may have this season at Kansas due to his great hands.
"He's the holder for PATs, so that tells you something about the confidence we have in his hands," Mangino said.
■ Mangino announced at open practice last Friday that sophomore wide receiver Moderick Johnson would be ineligible for this season. Johnson caught 13 balls last year, including a touchdown.
Mangino also announced that he has decided to give three redshirt seniors scholarships this season.
Those players are wide receiver Chris Steppig, offensive lineman Nick McCaslin, and linebacker Clark McCracken.
"They are true Jayhawks who are loyal to the program and worked hard," Mangino said.

17-year-old defendant faces court
BY AMANDA O'TOLE
aotole@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25, 2004
The 17-year-old charged with the murder of KU graduate student Teri Lea Mathis Zenner had his first day in court yesterday in Olathe.
Ellmaker appeared at 11 a.m. yesterday in Courtroom 13 at the Johnson County Courthouse, 100 N. Kansas Ave.
yesterday in Ontario.
Andrew Ellmaker was arrested Aug. 17 on charges of aggravated battery of his mother and Zenner's murder after police were called to a house fire and stabbing in Overland Park. Zenner was working with Ellmaker as a case manager for the Johnson County Mental Health Center when she was killed.
Terri Issa, assistant to Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison, said the hearing lasted only about five minutes.
She said Morrison, Assistant District Attorney John Fritz, prosecuting attorneys and defense attorney Joe Diossegy agreed to meet later to choose psychiatric counsel to determine if Ellmaker is competent enough to stand trial.
Dioszegy filed a motion with the court to have Eldmayer's competency tested.
David Gottlieb, a KU law professor, said a competency test would determine whether Ellmaker is able to understand that he is being charged with Zenner's murder and if he is able to assist his attorney in his defense.
If a person failed the competency test, the court would move to have the accused committed to a health institution. Gottlieb said.
Judge Brenda Cameron should either accept or reject the defense's motion to have Ellmaker tested at the next court appearance, Sept. 1 at 9 a.m., Issa said.
But if Ellmaker is declared incompetent, the district attorney can order to have his competency tested again.
If he passed, a trial would follow.
The prosecution submitted a motion last week to have Ellmaker tried as an adult, but the motion has not yet been addressed.
Gottlieb said it would be fairly unusual if a 17-year-old was tried as a minor for a first-degree murder charge.
Gottlieb said the prosecution would want to seek punishment to the full extent of the law.
The maximum penalty for an adult convicted in Kansas of first-degree murder is life imprisonment without the possibility for parole, he said.

Lightning kills sirens
BY ANDY HYLAND AND NIKOLA ROWE
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITERS
Two of Lawrence's tornado sirens were silent during Monday's warnings after they were struck by lightning. The two sirens, one in Eudora Tech Park and one in Lawrence's fairgrounds, were disabled.
As of yesterday, the sirens were not working in Lawrence, but repairs were scheduled to begin, said Paula Phillips, director of the Douglas County Emergency Management Center.
The city of Lawrence has three sirens to alert residents of a tornado, but one has been out of commission for months because of construction. Phillips said that the two sirens damaged by the lightning strikes should have been working by yesterday evening, in case another severe storm should occur.
The lightning strikes occurred after the second sounding at 8:45 p.m. Monday night. The sirens first sounded at 6:30 p.m. when spotters sighted a funnel near Clinton Lake, Phillips said. Two power lines went down in Lawrence on Monday night but all power was back on Tuesday morning.
Phillips said that the more severe problem of the storm was the rain. The worst flooding occurred on West Ninth Street, Wakarusa and Harvard streets and 23rd Street and Ousdahl, said Mark Bradford, Deputy Chief of the Lawrence-Douglas County fire and medical department.
Buildings on the University of
Kansas campus sustained some storm damage. Dan Lara, of University Relations, said there was minor flooding on the first floor of Oliver Hall, where no residents live.
The water has been cleaned up, and everything is back to normal, he said.
Students also reported flooding in Watson Library and Sellards Scholarship Hall, which is on the eastern edge of campus.
The Lawrence police department performed 16 water rescues during the hours of 7 p.m. and midnight at 19th Street, Harper Street and Wakarusa and Harvard streets, said Police Sergeant Dan Ward.
One water rescue included removing a person from a flooded vehicle and moving that person to a safe area.
"People wanted us to rescue their vehicles as well, but we just didn't have time for that." Ward said.
It was a busy night for the police department. The department responded to 100 calls in five hours on Monday night, with only 14 officers and two supervisors on duty.
Phillips said people should stay inside during the next storm.
"It only takes 12 inches of moving water to move a car and you don't know what is under that water." she said.
The roads would take a lot less rain for flooding to occur after Monday's storm, so flooding will be more likely to happen if a storm hits soon, Phillips said.

"Some view us as competitive with each other," Interiano said. "We wanted to demonstrate unity within the council and show we're all friends in an informal setting."
NPHC will also host an informational meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday in the Ivakhawk Room at the Kansas Union.

How many people can live in the same house?
Camera on KU
It depends on how the house is zoned. The City of Lawrence passed a law in Feb. 2002 that sets a limit of three (3) unrelated people that can live together in a house that is zoned as 'Single Family'. If you are found violating this law you could face eviction. Any prospective landlord should know if their property is affected by this law, but it doesn't hurt to check. You can find out about a specific house by calling KU7s Off Campus Living Resource Center at (785) 864-4164 or you can call the city of Lawrence Neighborhood Resources Department at (785) 832-7700, just be sure you have the address of the property in question.

Advertisement mimicking news article inappropriate
An ad in yesterday's paper requires some clarification.
Appearing on page 6A, the ad for KU Cuisine's new on-campus eating locations was designed to look like a Kansan story.
It also appeared on the top half of the page, next to a piece of actual news content.
While ads are important to the Kansan — indeed they are our financial lifeblood — it is a disservice to readers when one-sided or promotional material is presented in a way that
Such a juxtaposition, coupled with the ad's design, make it possible to confuse an advertisement touting a new program for actual news content.
Such practice is not normal nor is it acceptable.
looks like regular news.
To be sure, the Kansan relies on both its advertisements and its editorial content to survive. Without one, the other would not exist.
For that reason, both the business side of the paper — which sells ads in the Kansan — and the news side of the Kansan — which produces content — go to pains to avoid mingling their interests.
WE
Journalists, whose credibility depend on their independence, cannot appear beholden to an advertiser or a business.
Even the appearance of influence on content from advertisers can be damaging and newspapers of all sizes including The Los Angeles Times, among others have grappled with this problem.
The ad in question has been redesigned, and the Kansan has taken steps to avoid misleading readers in this manner again. As journalists, we continue to seek balanced, independent news on a day-to-day basis.

Journal-World owner funds new humanities fellowship
Laura Francoviglia
Dolph C. Simons Jr., a 1951 KU graduate, donated $350,000 to the University of Kansas Endowment Association to establish the Simons Distinguished Citizen Fellowship.
The purpose of the annual fellowship is to bring an individual who is interested in the humanities to the campus to study the area of his or her choice and participate in center events, said Victor Bailey, director of the Hall Center for the Humanities. The Simons fellow will study on campus for one semester and will come from a field such as health care, politics, journalism or the arts.
"It will create an opportunity for interaction between faculty and a working professional who will bring a different perspective to the University," said John Scarffe, director of communications for the KU Endowment Association.
The Simons fellow will be different than other fellows pursuing an academic career. A college degree is not required, only five years of professional experience.
The fellowship applicant must be from the Midwest and take a leave of absence from his or her job. The fellow will receive a stipend from the income earned from the established gift.
Simons is a member of the KU Endowment Association board executive committee and served as chairman of the board of trustees from 1994 to 2002. The Simons family's media company, the World Company, owns the Lawrence Journal-World and Sunflower Broadband. The family has been in the newspaper business in Lawrence since 1891.

KANSA STAFF WRITER
The University of Kansas, along with two of its schools, are among the top 50 public national universities and programs in the nation.
The 2004 U.S. News annual "America's Best Colleges" rankings were released Friday. According to University Relations, the University was ranked 42nd among public national universities.
The School of Business was ranked 30th, and the School of Engineering was ranked 45th, among other undergraduate programs at public universities.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said the University's officials were happy with the rankings.
"We feel good about the rankings because they show that KU's excellence is being recognized." Hemenway said.
In previous years, Hemenway had strived for the University to make it into the top 25 public national universities. He said this year's rankings indicated that the University's goal of being in the top 25 was an appropriate goal.
The University's ranking was up two places from last year's ranking of 44, business school was up three places from last year's 3rd and the engineering school was down five places from last year's 40th.
The University was also rated 3.4 on a 5.0 scale in the assessment of academic quality, which tied it for 29th among all public national universities.
The assessment is done by chancellors, presidents and chief academic officers at national universities and this peer assessment constitutes 25 percent of the school's overall ranking.
A total of 248 national universities, both public and private, were ranked. According
to U.S. News and World Report, schools were categorized by mission and in some cases, region. Next, data from each college information was gathered for up to 15 indicators of academic excellence. These indicators included acceptance rates, graduation rates, the proportion of classes with fewer than 20 students, retention rates, faculty resources, financial resources and alumni giving rates.
Kevin Boatright, interim executive vice chancellor for University Relations, said the ranking reflected the University's programs and the quality of those programs. He said the University was pleased that its rankings have been continually improving.
The reaction to the University's ranking from the student body was mixed.
Some students said they didn't really have an opinion, whereas other students said the ranking spoke well of the University.
The high ranking didn't surprise Jimmy Haver, Tulsa, Okla., freshman. Haver said he had always thought highly of the University.
"I think KU's the best college in the Great Plains region," Haver said.
Haver said he was impressed with all of the teachers, and that the University really thrived because it offered a diversity of courses. The linguistics major said the University offered 25 different language classes and he knew he couldn't find that in Oklahoma.
The undergraduate engineering and business programs rankings were based solely on peer survey of deans and senior faculty on a scale of one to five. The KU School of Engineering received a rating of 2.9, placing it in the top 50 again, amidst five other Big 12 schools.
Stuart Bell, dean of engineer-

Tulsa, Oklahoma freshman
ing, said the school was highly pleased it was ranked so high. Although the school was always watching the rankings, he said, the main focus of the school was on continuing to improve.
"They do reflect good measure,but our focus is on developing strategies that improve our programs," Bell said.
programs, B. Mike Brunin, St. Marys senior in architectural engineering, said the good faculty, traditions and student groups made the ranking seem normal.
The KU School of Business was also ranked high, with a peer assessment rating of 3.1
He also said the ranking showed that the school was publically recognized.
"I would expect us to be in the top 50." Brunin said.
William Fuerst, dean of business, said the ranking was sort of what he anticipated, but that it was an honor to be in the same company as the other schools.
"We're being compared with schools that are considered to be the best in the nation," Fuerst said. "We're delighted we're in that set of schools."
The school was continually looking for ways to improve, he said, and this year it planned on implementing finance, information systems, management and marketing majors into the school.
Shannon Guelbert, Overland Park graduate student in accounting and information systems, said the school of business' ranking surprised him.
He said he attributed the high ranking to an improvement in

Boatright said it was important for the University not to base its values solely on U.S. News rankings. He said the University was considered a "best buy" because of its academic quality, cost to attend and financial aid it provides to students. He said the University was successful at acclimating students and keeping them involved. He said KU officials valued the University for its combination of academic success as well as being well-rounded.
"When you look at it as a whole, that can tell you whether you're making progress," Boatright said.
Hemenway said the rankings were a measure for quality, and that the University's focus would be on continuing to improve the University.
"If we focus on making KU a better university every day, the rankings will take care of themselves," he said.

Committee invites Cosby to perform

KANSAN STATE WRIER
The sound of cheers ringing throughout Allen Fieldhouse may change to laughter this October. Bill Cosby has been invited to entertain during Homecoming Week.
Trisha Gresnick, Student Union Activities program adviser and homecoming adviser, said the Homecoming Steering Committee had contacted Cosby's agent and offered him $100,000 for the speech. She said asked for a response by Friday.
He said the University had raised $50,000 from private sources and from the University's contract with Coca-Cola. He said Student Senate was still deciding on whether to contribute $5,000. Actual ticket sales would fund the rest of the cost, he said. While Dunlap was not sure how much the tickets

would cost, he said they would be discounted for students.
"The ultimate goal is to bring back the tradition of bringing big-name entertainers to homecoming," Dunlap said.

Gresnick said the other performers the committee considered were Dave Chappelle, Dave Attell, Ray Romano, Larry the Cable Guy and N. o r m

MacDonald. She said Chappelle was the only other performer they had formally invited, but he did not respond.
Gresnick said the committee chose Cosby instead of other performers because members felt a larger variety of people would turn out to see him.
"We chose him because we thought he could appeal to all students as well as the Lawrence community," Gresnick said.

EDITORIAL
Restructure Hawk Week Think big, start smaller
www.kansan.com
The much-advertised string of events known as Hawk Week is designed to play an integral role in the introduction of freshmen to academic, community and social life at the University. It's also designed to be a great way for returning students to reconnect with their friends and campus.
Though Hawk Week is a commendable program that supplies plenty of entertainment and information in the days before classes start, it aims to showcase too many clubs, activities and accomplish so many goals that in the end, the whole thing becomes overwhelming and muddled. Trying to force the week to fulfill so many needs intimidates freshmen while largely ignoring upperclassmen.
Hawk Week's attendance and overall value could both be greatly increased by some basic restructuring efforts.
Our suggestions:
Our suggestions:
■ Plan the week's events with the freshmen experience in mind. Those who run Hawk Week and the residence halls need to allow incoming students time to socialize within small groups. Cohesiveness between roommates and floormates should be the first priority. The evening of move-in day isn't the time to thrust overwhelmed freshmen into an overcrowded Kansas Union to play games with people they don't know, and navigate a building they may have never entered.
■ Don't forget about the upperclassmen. Though returning students probably don't need the time to make new friends or explore campus, they are also beginning a new school year and take as much or more interest in job fairs, volunteer opportunities and club meetings as freshmen. Additionally, events such as Traditions Night, which are intended for freshmen, miss out on a wonderful opportunity to bring together Jayhawks new and old. What could be a huge University-wide pep rally is instead reduced to a sort of outdoor class, complete with lecture by the student-body president and lesson in hand-clapping from the cheerleaders. Regular students who have perfected the fight-song and waving of the wheat are much better teachers.
Give more exposure to daytime events. Evening activities provide entertainment, but the various meetings, fairs and tours featured during the day provide an opportunity to become an engaged participant in University life. Sure, Union Fest provides some great free stuff. But it cannot help you find an on-campus job, join a club or navigate Watson Library.
When it comes to structuring Hawk Week, think big but start small. Students need to be given time to create some appearance of a social-support system within their living communities.
The University is a huge place. Hawk Week should aim to make it seem small, friendly and accessible before introducing newcomers to all the fun a big university can provide.

Doomsday nearer than you think
Nadine didn't flinch when she acknowledged the inevitability of an oil shortage, which was remarkable because it would probably result in the end of civilization as we know it.
"Yeah, it's going to happen," said Nadine Appenbrink, a Westwood senior majoring in environmental science. While this didn't make her an expert on the matter, it did make her a lot more informed than I was on the subject.
"I mean, of course, life won't be anything like it is now," she said with a fairly matter-of-fact resignation. "It's pretty scary, isn't it?"
PERSPECTIVE
Hell yeah.
PERSECTIVE
Then yeah.
It quickly dawned on me that no matter how successful I become, I may never be able to buy my mom that Hummer she's always wanted. I'm not going to enjoy record rates of consumption, a complacent suburban lifestyle, a quarterly trip to the Cayman Islands, relaxed nights in front of the big screen and, most probably, any hopes of a "normal" future. Chances are I'd be dead by 40. If not, I'll most likely be roughing it in the backcountry of the Ozarks living off small game and vermin or maybe my fellow human being.
OK, so maybe I'm overreacting. But what if I'm not?
This whole fiasco started late one night on the Internet. Lazily clicking my way from site to site, I staggered across the threshold of oilpeak.com. Within a few minutes I perked up to the smelling salts of Kenneth Defeyes.
AHSAN LATIF opinion@kansan.com
geology professor emeritus at Princeton University. He was going on about something called "peak oil."
The scenario begins with some good news: Global warming will not kill us all. The bad news is that it's because oil supplies will soon reach peak production. From this peak, oil will become a finite resource that is growing smaller day by day.
On prices will never become cheap again, even if we start pumping it faster or even miraculously end the occupation in Iraq peacefully and efficiently.
There's got to be some sort of counterpoint. There must be some rational, realistic scientists who can stand up to this alarming train of thought. And there are, but most of them are funded by oil companies and the rest are from the current administration's energy committees. Go ahead. Search the Internet for "peak oil." I triple-dog dare you.
It takes a little common sense to realize that every link in the economic chain is powered by fossil fuels. Cars,
airports, docks, factories, water treatment plants, food processing centers, basically all metals, plastics and most usable materials are all derived from fossil fuels.
Extreme estimates predict that between now and 2050, as oil reserves dwindle, various global assaults will take place in order to control the world's remaining supply.
Take solace in the fact that these are the most extreme estimates. But even the most conservative estimates predict life will change considerably.
By the time Nadine had confirmed my suspicions I was wondering whether I should quit school, rent Quest for Fire and start emulating.
"Bad things will happen, but they won't happen tomorrow. All we can feasibly do is to be smart about our future." she said.
I guess she's right.
But what about that whole nuclear destruction and five billion people dying thing?
"Yeah, what about it?" Nadine asked. "What do you want to do?" I laughed she's right
The next day, trying to be smart about it, I was cruising peak oil message boards for more productive reactions to our impending doom when I came across this post:
"Hey, sucks to be you guys!"
Laitif is a Lexington, Mo., senior in journalism.
At new student orientation I remember watching a dopey video about the benefits of diversity. Four years later, I'm still wondering what they are. I can't count how many posters I've seen urging students to "celebrate diversity." But why? If diversity is so beneficial, why aren't mudgets on the basketball team?
When it comes to diversity, whether it's the administration or Student Senate, one thing is for sure: they've all been drinking the same poisoned Kool-Aid. They harp on the importance of diversity while exhibiting diversity of thought you'd expect to find in a communist re-education camp.
Diversity promoters misguided
FRESH ARRAH
College professors lean to the left. A recent poll by the Center for the Study of Popular Culture found that in the last election, 80 percent of professors voted for Gore and 9 percent voted for Bush. If the administration was interested in real diversity --that of viewpoints they'd hire faculty members that run the gamut from liberal to conservative.

The University's diversity people insist campus racial diversity is necessary for students to learn how to negotiate the diversity in the workplace. But why? Employees are required learn new skills on the job. Why can't they learn how to work with minorities?

said, "diversity enriches the educational environment greatly." There is no empirical evidence to support this claim. Alexander Astin of the Higher Education Research Institute drew on an study put out by the American Council on Education to write "What Matters in College." The study included 309 four-year institutions, 82 outcome variables, and 24,847 students tracked for four years and found no correlation between racial diversity and positive, discernable education benefits. Astin says his findings "do not support the claim that ethnic and racial diversity...enhances educational quality." In the study racial diversity was correlated with higher rates of dissatisfaction and lower student retention rates
B
If racial diversity is important for education, why aren't African-American colleges like Howard University and all-female colleges like
Wellesley clamoring for white and Asian-American males?
Minorities aren't equally distributed throughout the nation. It isn't realistic to expect universities in Kansas to have as many minorities as New York or California. If the ethnic make-up of Kansas is mirrored in the student body, there would be hardly any minorities on campus.
Because this hokey political ideology isn't going away, I have a couple suggestions. First, host diversity seminars that address issues relevant in the real world."Diversity in the workplace: What do you do when you're hired for quotas instead of merit? Shut up and take the money."
Second, extend the concept of diversity beyond race. You could start by hiring blind bus drivers for KU on Wheels, illiterate librarians and yes, basketball-playing midgets.
I'm not arguing against diversity per se, and I don't doubt gathering people from a wide variety of backgrounds and ways of thinking can be beneficial. But that's not what the University is doing. The traditional concept of diversity is broader than race. The University's should be, too.

convenience store. Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutrition and certified dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said she and two other dietitians visited campus convenience stores this summer and evaluated products. They made a list of selections that would qualify for the Better Bites program, choosing ones that had fewer calories, less fat and less sugar than traditional convenience store items.
"We are continually looking for snacks that are healthy and appealing to the college-aged student." Ice said.
Karen Ice, customer service supervisor for the Kansas Union, worked closely with Chapman to provide healthier snacks in the campus convenience stores.
Ice, who also works with the cash register at the Kansas Union, said she had seen a lot of students buying snacks identified by the green Better Bites logo and reading about the program.
"You wouldn't think that animal crackers would be a popular snack." Ice said. "But you would be amazed at how many animal crackers we sell because they are a healthy snack."

One of the goals for this fall was to make sure that all of the vending machines and convenience stores contained items
flagged with the Better Bites logo, ice said.
This most recent upgrade to the Better Bites program was just a small part of a larger plan that H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E. and the 11-member task force, has been working on since 2000. The task force first introduced "Fresh and Hearty" in the fall of 2002. That program worked in conjunction with campus food services to offer healthy hot dishes in the Unions and residence halls. "Fresh and Hearty" dishes were prepared without butter or cream, used low-fat cheese, lean meats and were low in sodium.
The Better Bites initiative was introduced in the fall of 2005. H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E. collaborated with the University's vending provider Treat America and Kansas Union representatives to bring healthier food options to vending machines. Now the task force has included "Fresh and Hearty" under the umbrella term "Better Bites."
Students can eat healthy foods at campus dining halls. The Market at the Kansas Union, Crimson Cafe at the Burge Union, Wescoe Terrace, Hawk Shop locations, campus vending machines and convenience stores.

months, Chapman said.
Chapman said that there was less strict criteria for Better Bites food options in the convenience stores and vending machines.
"If we were as strict with the snacks as we are with the meals, we would not be able to include anything," she said. "We realize that there will be room for criticism, but we used our professional judgement when selecting these choices, and we are certified dietitians."
The University provided all incoming freshmen with a pamphlet outlining the Better Bites program. There are also informational flyers around campus and in convenience stores where Better Bites are sold.
"We are trying to educate the student body as well as provide them with healthy options," Ice said.
Committees offer members a voice

Students who want to get involved in the decision-making process at the University of Kansas will have their chance tonight.
Introductory Student Senate committee meetings begin at 6 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom. All students are invited to attend.
Arthur Jones, Student Executive Committee chairman, said students could air grievances at committees and help in the process to fix those grievances. Jones, Dallas junior, said students also could have a say in where their campus fees, which Student Senate allocates to University programs and projects, were going.
"Any student can voice their concerns," said Jana Szatkowski, Edmond, Okla. senior and Student Rights Committee member.
Students can join at any time in the semester. Students who come to the first committee meeting of the school year have full voting rights. If a student decides to join a committee later on in the semester, attendance at two consecutive committee meetings is required to vote.
SENATE MEETINGS
Students can join any of the following committees:
Student Senate committees will meet today at 6 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Finance: reviews legislation that authorizes spending Graduate and Professional Affairs; deals with issues that affect graduate student lifework with the Graduate and Professional Association
Any student who is a member of a committee can vote on and write legislation.
Multicultural Affairs: addresses issues of minority
Jones said committee meetings were for all students.
"Every student gives money to the University." Jones said. "Where do you want your money to go?"
The night will begin with committee orientation. The meeting will break up into the five Senate committees: Finance, Graduate and Professional Affairs, Multicultural Affairs, Student Rights and University Affairs.
"People spend more time complaining than getting anything done." Jones said. "Here's a place to fix the problems."
Jones said the committee meetings were also a good way to find out what's going on at the University.
But newcomers should feel welcome and comfortable, Jones said.
"It can be intimidating to walk into a room of people who've done this before." Jones said.

Remnants of a broken light fixture rest on a backpack in 120 Budig Hall. A light fixture fell yesterday afternoon in the classroom during Earthquakes and Natural Disasters class.
Lightbulb temporarily halts class in Budig
A falling lightbulb may not be an earthquake or natural disaster, but it was what students were talking about in Geology 171 yesterday. The Earthquakes and Natural Disasters class was meeting in Budig 120 when a light bulb fell from the the ceiling and almost hit the students sitting near the front of the lecture hall, said Matt Milburn, Rogers, Ark., senior.
"It fell at least 75, maybe 100 feet," he said. "It was a little smaller than a basketball."
He said the class took a five-minute recess while maintenance workers cleaned up the mess.
There were no major injuries just a few jilted students, Milburn said.
"A guy near the front row had some scratches," Milburn said. "But he walked away okay."

"Optimus magister bonus liber," goes the old Latin adage: "The best teacher is a good book." For generations of modern-day Latin students, that book has been "Wheelock's Latin."
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Revision of text debated
As the latest generation of students buy their Wheelock's in the coming weeks, they will discover a textbook that looks very different from the original, densely packed tome Professor Frederic Wheelock sketched out a half-century ago. There are photographs, maps and eyepleasing layouts. Exercises reflect the latest pedagogical theory. Readings feature fewer battlefield dispatches and more emphasis on women and everyday life. There is even a dirty poem by Catullus.
Wheelock's also has a Web site, e-mail discussion groups and, soon, online audio recordings.
"The times, they are a changing," says Richard LaFleur, the University of Georgia classicist who took over the editorship of the series in the mid-1990s following Wheelock's 1987 death. "We want to keep up with the changes."
Latin hasn't changed for 2,000 years. And where publishers see essential updates, critics of high textbook prices often wonder if new editions aren't just a ploy to raise prices.
why biology and accounting textbooks need frequent updating, by why algebra or ancient languages?
Unnecessary updates are "one of the biggest driving factors behind the high costs of textbooks," says Merriah Fairchild, higher education advocate at the California Public Interest Research Group.
Research Group. LaFleur says that many textbooks are updated too frequently, but that even Latin needs a fresh coat of paint sometimes. He and Wheelock's family say they have put out a new version about every five years, and pressed Harper Collins to keep the series affordable.
Textbook prices are a hot topic on college campuses and have prompted hearings on Capitol Hill. In January, a CALPIRG report found University of California students could expect to pay $898 per year for textbooks, up from $642 in 1996-97. The average price per new textbook was over $100. Three-quarters of faculty members surveyed believed new editions were usually unnecessary.
Publishers blame an unusual marketplace where they have just one year to earn back their investment; after that, students buy used copies and the publishers get nothing. That encourages frequent new editions.
Critics say they understand
frequent hitter.
"The basic business model is broken," says Al Greco, a Fordham University professor.
who follows the industry at the Book Industry Study Group. Greco doesn't believe publishers are price-gouging. Still, he concedes: "You could question whether there's a need to revise the calculus book, the U.S. history book, the Latin book every three years."
Revise they do. Even the death of an author may not derail a series, Anthony F. Janson took over the "History of Art" series after his father died in 1982. (The revised sixth edition, featuring more emphasis on religious art in the late Renaissance, was retailing for $95 this week in a downtown Boston bookstore). A rival, "Art Through the Ages" still carries author Helen Gardner's name on its 11th edition, 60 years after her death, and was retailing for $108.95, with CD-ROM, on Amazon.com.
While art books require expensive-to-print, color images, critics say that isn't true for other subjects. Calipirg has criticized frequent updates in calculus, a subject little-changed since Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Sir Isaac Newton invented it in the 17th century.
In wheelock's case, Hulper Collins bought the title after the namesake's death and put out a fourth edition based on notes he left. LaFleur got involved by pointing out errors in that edition. Eventually, he and the family discussed his taking over the project.

Hamdan, who was not shackled and wore a flowing white shirt, smiled occasionally as he listened to an Arabic interpreter through headphones, even after hearing charges that could bring life in prison: conspiracy to commit war crimes, including attacking civilians, murder and terrorism. He isn't charged with any specific violent act.

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — Osama bin Laden's chauffeur was formally charged yesterday at the first U.S. military tribunal to convene since World War II, and the defendant's lawyer quickly challenged the panel over its impartially and questioned the proceeding's fairness.
Swift raised questions on panel member Marine Col. Jack K. Sparks Jr., citing concerns over Sparks' feelings about a reservist under his command who died in the Sept. 11 terror attack on New York's World Trade Center while working as a firefighter.
He also said he was concerned that commission member Marine Col. R. Thomas Bright had said he was in charge of the logistics of moving detainees to Guantanamo; that Air Force Lt.
lasted eight months. He challenged the presiding officer, Army Col. Peter E. Brownback, a former military judge, on the grounds that he came out of retirement to serve on the panel and that he is not a standing member of a bar association.
Hamdan has said he earned a pittance for his family as bin Laden's driver before the Sept. 11 attacks, but denies involvement in terrorism. U.S. officials allege he served as the Al-Qaeda leader's bodyguard and delivered weapons to his operatives.

"It is important that these proceedings not only be fair, but appear fair to the world." Swift said during the hearing, which lasted eight hours.
Tribunal members and prosecutors asked the media not to use the names of the panel members, fearing possible retribution. But their names were previously made public and have been published.

Women imitate J. Lo; men turn to layers
BY AUSTIN CASTER acaster@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Women's Styles
Back to school is here and students are buzzing about the latest hair styles and trends.
Lawrence stylists offer advice to make sure students don't curl up and dye.
Women's Styles
Styles are gravitating toward more of a shag, layered look, said Ryan Crowell, hairdresser at Sakaroff's, 12 E. Eighth St., and owner of The Haircut, 3727 W. Sixth St.
"We're pushing layers shorter and making more messy styles." Crowell said. "Seventies and '80s styles are coming back, just not so severe."
Tavi Potts, stylist at Beauty Brands, 3514 Clinton Parkway said women were imitating the "J. Lo" look.
"Long, straight layers are in, with short bangs to frame the face." Potts said.
Natalie Roberts, manager and salon coordinator at Images, 511 W. Ninth St., said more clients were calling to schedule permits.
"Curls and waves are back in with more layers around the face to give volume," Roberts said. "Not tight Shilray Temple perms, but not so stick-straight anymore."
She said permits damage hair so clients should not get them too often.
"Very rarely do you see a perm that looks really good," Crowell said. "but people always want what they don't have."
what they did. Janine Colter, owner of Da Shop, 1109 Massachusetts St., said more natural-looking styles were in this fall. She said she used extension techniques such
as twist and lock, weave and fusion to create a variety of styles.
"The industry is changing all the time, attaching hair to give more length. You see Beyonce with shoulder-length hair one day, then it's at the middle of her back the next time you see her." Colter said. "That's because of extensions."
extensions.
She said straightbacks, or cornrows, take as little as 30 minutes to put in, but more complex extensions, such as micros, have to be done strand by strand and can take up to six hours. Prices start at $25.
Colter said dreadlocks were popular and she often used relaxers on clients before styling.
"You don't want to give them something that won't go with their lifestyle." Colter said. "If they go to the gym everyday, they're going to sweat it out."
Men's Styles
Stylists agreed that men's haircuts follow the seasons, the metrosexual look is still in and more men are braiding this fall
"Guys are trying to grow their hair out so they have more versatility with styles," Roberts said.
The faux-hawk, a style with longer textured layers on top, allows men to wear their hair flat, spiky, down or up, she said.
Some men still wear their hair shaggy, but the trend will phase out, Crowell said.
Roberts said she had seen an increase in men waxing their evebrows, backs and chests.
"Once they do it they're hooked." Roberts said.
She said she didn't give men high-arched brows but cleaned them up to get rid of the unibrow.
Crowell said he didn't enjoy pulling hair out of people's bodies
He said there were options for guys who aren't so high maintenance.
"Most men don't really prioritize their hair," Crowell said. "They just wake up one morning, look in the mirror and realize they need a haircut."
That's why The Hair Cut takes only walk-ins and shows sporting events on its televisions, he said.
Men looking for braids or the Ivy League cut frequent Nellie at Da Shop, the self-proclaimed "tightest barber in the Midwest." Nellie said the Ivy League cut is the same length all the way around and edged up.
around the cage up to Nellie lines up KU basketball players such as Michael Lee, Wayne Simien, J.R. Giddens and Keith Langford.
Keith is braided up with a very natural urban look," Colter said. "He cares a lot about his hair."
All stylists agreed darker colors came back for fall.
Fall Colors
irs came like "Clients are toning it down from the summer bleach blond," Potts said.
Crowell said he used multidimensional coloring with softer earth tones such as cinnamon, chocolate, auburn and mahogany. Solid streaks are out, he said.
Roberts said women were going back closer to their natural color with more browns and reds.
Stylists can help clients pick out products to make color last longer and stay brighter.

Barmann a perfect field chief
Adam Barmann may only be a sophomore, but he is the perfect quarterback to replace Bill Whittimore this season.
Mangino saw Barmann as the quarterback of the future and wanted him to ultimately replace Whittemore. Now Barmann will likely start for the next three years.
It's hard to believe that Barmann may be a better passer than his predecessor, as Whittemore completed just more than 60 percent of his passes last season. But Barmann was even more accurate, completing 67.1 percent of his passes when he was just beginning to learn the offense.
With Barmann at the helm, it is easy to understand why coach Mark Mangino says this year's offense could rack up numbers similar to last year's.
Barmann has a stronger arm than Whittemore, so expect him to be successful looking deep to receivers Brandon Rideau and Mark Simmons. If he stays healthy, he could easily top Whittimore's 2003 passing yard total of 2,385 and could also break the school record of 2,995 set by Mike Norseth in 1985.
next three years.
He is exactly the type of quarterback Kansas needs to lead its offense: one who believes in his abilities and believes he should be the starter. Confidence is key at Barmann's position, and if he is successful this year look for Kansas to go to back-to-back bowl games for the first time in school history.
Last season, Whittemore had 534 yards on the ground with 10 touchdowns, while Barmann gained just 53 yards in four games. These totals include yards lost due to sacks, and Barmann is more of a pocket passer than Whittemore. Expect Barmann to be a much improved runner this year.
Barmann's style mirrors Whittemore's; he possesses the same agility and talent for moving out of the pocket and picking up rushing yards. Like Whittemore, he also has the ability to lead an option attack.
In just the first start of his career, when he had only one week to prepare for the job, he went 25-37 for 294 yards with four touchdowns and one rushing touchdown against Texas A&M. Not too shabby for a freshman who had seen very few reps in practice.
Very few steps in practice. Now, Barmann has gone through the spring and summer as the team's top quarterback. He is completely comfortable with the offense, and he will be a much better quarterback than he was last season. Also, the extra month of practice the team saw last season as it prepared for the Tangerine Bowl gave Barmann even more time to learn the offense.
The only way the offensive numbers may level off is if Barmann is not at the helm the entire season. With his style and abilities, the Kansas offense should be in good hands with him in the starting spot.
four games
Barmann went from being a red-shirt candidate to a freshman starter when Whitmore went down last season. He stepped up and proved he was able to play at the Big 12 level.
And expect him to continue to make plays with his arm strength, which more than compensates for what he lacks in speed. That strength has been visible in practice this season, and it was equally visible in the four games last season.
Ryan Colaiani is a McLean, Va., sophomore in journalism and political science.
With this extra preparation time paired with Barmann's natural talents, look for him to have a very special season.

Charles Gordon will not see nearly as many plays at wide receiver this season, but even though the team's leading receiver from last year will not have as much of an impact this season, the Jayhawks aren't expecting the wide receiver position to be a liability.
Simmons, like Gordon, had 769 receiving yards last season. He also led the team in touchdown receptions with seven and averaged nearly 20 yards per catch.
Kansas senior wide receiver Brandon Rideau ran with the ball before N.C. State's Lamont Reid tackled him during last year's Tangerine Bowl on Dec. 22, 2003. The Jayhawks will rely on Rideau's 6" frame and strong record收到 help to the team this season.

Simmons is quicker than Rideau with a smaller frame, and he was a huge threat last season going deep as he had three touchdowns of more than 65 yards.
At 6-foot-4-inches, Rideau's size makes him an asset.
Simmons and Rideau did more than just work on their receiving abilities in the off-season; they also spent a considerable amount of time improving their blocking.

Correa back with team
Janaina Correa, sophomore outside hitter for the Kansas volleyball squad, is from Sau Paulo, Brazil. The Jayhawks will look to Correa to be an impact player this season.

The first stage was denial.
When Janaina Correa, sophomore outside hitter for the University of Kansas volleyball team, was helped off the court on Oct. 11 last year, she expected to return before the season was done
very good. The injury occurred during warmups before an away game against the Oklahoma Sooners.
"It was hard for me to accept what happened," she said. "I was playing very good."
After confirming MRI results with several doctors, reality set in: She had torn her anterior cruciate ligament, and she would be out of action for at least
six months. Correa was stranded. She had been at the University of Kansas for barely two months after leaving her family and friends in São Paulo, Brazil.
six months.
"It was the hardest experience of my life," she said.
Correa dedicated four hours every day to rehabilitation exercises.
Coach Ray Bechard said he admired the courage of Correa, who stayed in the United States for the majority of her rehabilitation while attending team practices. At various times, she exercised at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, on campus and at home in São Paulo, she said.
"I still wanted to be part of the team," Correa said. "I wanted to learn."
Bechard said, "It's hard when anyone gets injured, but to get injured a full day's plane ride from home is completely different."

"I am sad that I have to leave behind all of these projects with so much potential," Hinrichs said. "But KU has done such a wonderful job with this that the person who replaces me should have a nice transition."
Cornea said she leaned on her teammates at practice and away from the gym. Her closest friend on the team is junior middle blocker Josi Lima, with whom she played on a club team in São Paulo.
"We're like sisters," Correa said. "It's very easy for us to communicate."
"If she wants to yell at me, I'll listen," Correa said.
Very easy to say. Now that she's back to full strength, Correa will lean on Lima and vice versa.
Bechard said that the pair's chemistry would benefit the team.

Bob Heiny, faculty athletic representative at UNC, has served as interim athletics director since Fallis left.
If the University of Northern Colorado is going take its athletics department to the Division I level, Jay Hinrichs will be the man who helps take it there. Hinrichs, associate athletic director for facilities planning at the University of Kansas, accepted the position as director of intercollegiate athletics at Northern Colorado on Monday, effective Aug. 30.
Hinrichs, who also directed the Williams Fund at the University, was selected from three finalists to replace former UNC director of athletics Jim Fallis, who became athletics director at Northern Arizona University in June.
The three finalists visited with UNC President Kay Norton, and she made the final decision to hire Hinrichs.
"All three were capable," said Ken McConnellogue, vice president for university advancement and chairman for the replacement search committee. "At that point, you look for some intangible things, and Jay had a good set of experiences, energy and enthusiasm that fit well."
Hinrichs said UNC offered him the job last Friday evening, and he informed Kansas athletics director Lew Perkins that he would accept. Hinrichs, who has a bachelor's and master's degree from the University, will leave behind a series of projects set to get underway this fall, including a women's basketball office and locker room improvements, an indoor baseball hitting facility, a hydro-therapy room for all athletes and a golf project in conjunction with Alvamar golf course.
Hinrichs' replacement remains unknown to the Athletics Department.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the department does not currently have anyone in mind for the position.

Falcons QB Vick returns to practice
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Michael Vick returned to practice after missing a day with tightness in his right hamstring.
Atlanta's quarterback participated in the full workout, which lasted over two hours, and reported no problems. He first tweaked the hamstring in practice on Aug. 5 before irritating it in the second quarter of last week's preseason win over Minnesota.
Also, defensive end Brady Smith returned from a bruised left knee and practiced for just the second time in three weeks.
Rookie quarterback J.P. Losman broke his left leg during practice and will be out indefinitely.
The Bills must now decide whether to place Losman on injured reserve, a move that would sideline him for the season.
season.
Losman, the second of Buffalo's two first-round picks, was hurt an hour into practice as he finished a run. As Losman was pulling up, cornerback Troy Vincent laid a shoulder into his upper body, knocking the quarterback over.
Losman immediately started limping and fell to the ground. Trainers attended to him for about five minutes on the
field, and Vincent came over and shook his hand.
Losman needed help getting up and was unable to put any weight on the injured leg. He was taken to the locker room on a cart. Vikins
Cornerback Derek Ross, who tied for the NFL rookie lead in interceptions two years ago, was signed Tuesday by Minnesota.
Tuesday by mimics:
"We have (Ross)'s rights," Tice said after the morning practice, which Ross missed while taking a physical. ("But) I don't know if he'll ever see the field."
New Orleans was the latest team to waive Ross, a third-round pick by Dallas in 2002. Ross started nine games that season and had five interceptions. He also returned kicks.
With starting cornerback Brian Williams out for at least another week and a young, inconsistent group of backups behind him, the Vikings needed a veteran corner to stabilize the unit.
But Ross' own stability health and otherwise has caused three teams to release him in less than nine months, including two in the past week.
The Saints let the former Ohio State player go after he missed a plane and failed to report on time.

THESSALONIKI, Greece —The Iraqi soccer team's improbable run at an Olympic gold medal ended Tuesday night with a 3-1 semifinal loss to Paraguay.
Loss to Paraguay ends Iraqi soccer team's gold hopes
Garagehy The Iraqis still have a chance for a bronze, which would be their war- weary nation's first medal in 44 years.
Paraguay made history of its own, getting two goals from Jose Cardozo and one from Fredy Bareiro to advance to Saturday's gold-medal game against Argentina, a 3-0 winner over Italy. Gold or silver, it will be the first Olympic medal of any sort for Paraguay.
Iraq and Italy will play for the bronze Friday night.
Just qualifying for the Olympics was a feat for the Iraqi, who have been unable to play home games since war began in March 2003.
The team's first-round victories over Portugal and Costa Rica and quarterfinal win over Australia enchanted fans worldwide and gave beleaguered Iraqi citizens a rare cause for unified jubilation.
They clinched a berth in May, just three months after their country was reinstated by the International Olympic Committee.
Players said they were inspired by the support from home, but also sobered by knowledge of their compatriots' hardships.

Olympics provide rare time of peaceful competition
e for released he the layers for arbi- United Press
It may be hard to believe, but there actually exists a forum where more than 200 nations are represented in one place at one time. It is a place where competition is not about fierce bombs or which country can afford better weapons, and it can bring thousands of people together not in army fatigues, but in sweat suits adorned with national emblems.
This special time only happens every couple of years, and it's happening right now. The Olympic games in Athens, Greece, are something that nobody should make an excuse to not watch.
At no other time can competition in a non-violent and completely equal setting take place among all these countries. That is incredibly special, particularly in a world where we are too

often captured by violence and hate.
Every two years, when the summer or winter Olympic games take place, we get to savor sportsmanship and achievement at its greatest. Colorado junior Lindsay Barnett watches the Olympics for some of the same reasons.
"It is the only time we can watch countries around the world be unified and also, of course, see incredible athletic talent," Barnett said.
Others must share Barnett's sentiments. According to the Nielsen ratings, viewing for the 2004 Olympics has been higher than the 2000 summer games in Sydney, Australia. The opening ceremony captured the attention of more than 25 million households — a number exceeded this past Sunday when nearly 26 million tuned in to watch the much anticipated swimming events. The audience segment watching the Olympics most, according to the Nielsen, is the 18-to-49-year-old group.
Despite these numbers, it seems that interest among younger crowds is not what it should be. Chris Nodgard, Wichita junior, attributes this to the lack of understanding and appreciation of the multiple sports offered at the games.
"Compared to other countries
But this is just the reason why young Americans should pay more attention to the games.
we are generally lazier," he said. "We as a society do not play or understand sports as competitively as we should."
Barnett said she enjoyed the Olympics as a way to educate herself about sports she was not familiar with.
"I like to watch gymnastics and other sports that are not typically shown here every day," Barnett said. "It is a great way to learn about them and see athletes from other countries who specialize in these events."
It may be difficult, however, to get the best sense of what the games are about when only one television station broadcasts the Olympics, hopping around to each event and only showing really a glimpse of the competi-

tion - leaving an event for another just as you start to get interested.
Diane Severin, University of Kansas graduate, finds it very difficult to pay attention to the Olympics.
"I find it boring that you watch the same athlete compete in the team competition, individual all around, then individual event, with the same routines or exact same event three different times then receive medals for all
of them," she said.
This is understandable, but it should be no excuse to not appreciate a tradition that dates back to the fifth century B.C. Even if someone finds the games boring, he should respect them for the tradition alone.
There are so many sports represented that anyone should be able to find something of interest. The three most popular events are gymnastics, track and swimming. Regardless of which sports we watch, we should not fail to take a couple hours out of our hectic lives these next few days to watch as Iraqis stand next to Americans who stand next to Israelis.
When the torch flame is extinguished on Friday, it will be two more years before this peacefulness within competition occurs again.
Olympic games alter viewing habits
By Paul BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Olympics is an uncommon event: Viewers who don't normally watch sports are commonly watching.
"One reason I watch the Olympics is that it's interesting to watch sports I normally don't get a chance to see." Eric Fine, Olathe info, said.
With its broadcast of the 2004 summer Olympics from Athens, NBC and other networks airing the Olympics have not struggled for viewers. During the week of August 9 to 15, the top three spots in the Nielson television ratings were held by the network's first three nights of prime-time Olympic coverage.
In contrast to typical American preference, the first week's prime-time coverage of
the Athens' games relied heavily on swimming, gymnastics and beach volleyball. Despite the fact that these sports generally receive little media exposure outside of the Olympics, Americans still watched.
But what makes Americans tune in to sports that usually remain low-profile?
The saturation of the television market by NBC provides one answer.
"I watch the hell out of the Olympics," Jeremy Young, Lawrence senior, said. "It's all that on."
During daytime hours, NBC offers seemingly ubiquitous coverage of the games by spreading its broadcasts over six networks. NBC, MSNBC, USA, Bravo, CNBC and Telemundo combine to bring the viewer around the clock reporting from Athens.
Another reason audiences
across the country have shown so much interest is the sheer spectacle of the games. This year's Olympics features competitors from 202 countries, with nations such as East Timor competing for the first time.
Additionally, the Olympics showcase the changing political climates in many nations. In the first Olympics since undergoing regime changes, both Iraq and Afghanistan have sent competitors to Athens. Although neither country has earned a medal yet, Iraq's soccer team has impressed many by making it to yesterday's semifinal soccer match.
For those viewers more interested in intriguing personal stories and shocking developments, the Athens games have failed to disappoint.
Young said that he tuned into the Olympics for the surprises.
"You want to see what happens next," he said.
Some of the most fascinating surprises have come from the world of gymnastics.
First, Paul Hamm became the first American male ever to capture the gold medal. Only one day later, Carly Patterson became the first female from the American team to win the allaround since Mary Lou Retton in 1984.
Outside of individual performances, viewers are also drawn in by the overall output of the American Olympic team. To many the competition in the medal count, in which the Americans currently hold a comfortable lead, is a matter of national pride and highlights the best athletes in the United States.
"It gives people on the other side of the world a chance to see American athletes," Fine said.

"Our major job is catching the ball, and we want to work on that," Rideau said. "We also wanted to work on our blocking. They said we weren't being that physical as wide receivers before."
RECEIVER: Great expectations for wide receivers
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Rideau does not expect the offense to change much from last season, despite Bill Whittimore's graduation.
"We pretty much are going to have almost the same scheme," Rideau said. "Whether the ball goes in the middle more depends on what me and the quarterback do."
Gordon may still see time in
limited situations on offense to go along with his defensive and punt returning duties. Coach Mark Mangino has said that if the corner situation is solidified, Gordon will move back to full-time offense, but don't expect to see much of him at the receiver spot until that happens.
"What we are not going to do is play him both ways," Mangino said. "It is not fair to him."
The Jayhawks will also be without the services of sophomore Moderick Johnson, as Mangino announced that he will be ineligible this season. As a freshman last season, Johnson caught 13 passes for 138 yards.
While Gordon will mainly
focus on the defensive side of the ball this season at cornerback, the wide-receiver corps will have the services of former free safety Jonathan Lamb. Coach Mark Mangino is consistently talking about Lamb's great hands, and he expects big things from Lamb as a wide receiver.
"He has pretty good leaping ability," Mangino said. "His hands are as good as anybody we have on the team."
Also expected to have several receptions again this season is junior running back Clark Green. Green had 44 catches last year for 464 yards, many which were short dump off passes that he turned into big gains with his running ability.
Look for sophomore running back John Randle to have a larger role in the passing attack this season. The speedy Randle had 19 grabs for 136 yards last season.
At the tight end position, the 'Hawks return senior Lyonel Anderson. Anderson had 10 catches last season for 157 yards. He is a decent blocker which should aid the running game. Sophomore Derek Fine is challenging Anderson for the starting job. Fine was a member of the scout team last season.

The first challenge facing Hinrichs at UNC will be to continue with the third year of a five-year reclassification process that would move UNC's 16-sport program from Division II to Division I.

"We want to join in a partnership and make arrangements to get our athletic programs in a competitive conference," Hinrichs said.
McConnellogue said another focus for Hinrichs would be to increase funding.
"We have some facility needs that need to be addressed," he said. "Our fieldhouse needs some attention."
Norton said she was excited to have him on board.
"Jay Hinrichs is a leader who will not only help us meet the challenges of the coming year,
but also will create an environment that will allow our student athletes to succeed in competition and in the classroom," she said.
It was Hinrichs' experience, McConnellgue said, that set him apart from the other candidates when it came time to make a decision.
"He had a nice combination of experience in fund raising and facilities management," he said.
He also said Hinrichs' experience with the Kansas City Royals, where he worked at various positions for 18 years, was a factor.
"His experience with the Royals added to his list of experience, and we thought he brought the best package to the table," McConnellguide said.

CORREA: At full strength despite knee brace
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Before her season-ending injury, Correa was a legitimate candidate for freshman of the year in the Big 12 Conference. Only a week before her injury, she was named conference player of the week after big games against Missouri and Texas A&M.
"josi and her feed off each other," he said.
She averaged 4.22 kills, or
points scored directly against an opponent, and 2.67 digs, defensive hits to save the ball just before it hits the ground, per game during the two matches before her injury. These numbers were only slightly higher than her season averages of 3.88 kills and 2.64 digs, according to kuathletics.com.
in the United States
"In Brazil, it's very hard to study and play pro," she said.
Her success hardly came as a surprise to the coaches, who recruited her from a professional team in Brazil after she expressed an interest in studying
Though she now wears a bulky knee brace at practice, Correa said she is back to full strength, an important sign for a Jayhawk team that must replace its all-time kills leader, graduated outside hitter Sarah Rome.
Correa said she was up to the task.
"I've learned how to be a stronger person on and off the
court," she said.
After going through denial, desolation, rehabilitation and renewal, the final stage of Correa's story has yet to be determined. But her return will undoubtedly help the team reach its second straight NCAA tournament.
"She has a great energy level and is a real emotional burst," Bechard said.

Hey, hey, hey Cosby to perform a routine at Fieldhouse for Homecoming
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGLA

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Bill Cosby might have unknowingly thrown a loop in Student Senate legislation last night, but the loop was appreciated: He said he would come to homecoming.
Cosby accepted an offer yesterday that was extended earlier this week to speak during homecoming week, said Chris Kaufman, co-director for homecoming. The student

Senate loop: The finance committee tabled a bill to allocate $5,000 for part of Cosby's visit costs.
But the legislation won't hold up Cosby's visit, said Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president. The University Events committee announced Cosby's confirmation yesterday afternoon.

If a speaker is confirmed, Student Senate requires a signature from speaker or his agent committing to the performance and cost of the speaker before members can pass legislation, said Ryan Faulconer, finance committee chair and Colorado Springs, Colo., senior. Because Cosby's

the committee tabled the bill.
Cosby is scheduled to perform a stand-up comedy routine Oct. 5 at Allen Fieldhouse.
Kaufman, Denver senior, said the homecoming committee accomplished its goal of getting a big-name act come to the University.
"He'll make homecoming that much bigger," Kaufman said.
Cosby will bring the community and the campus together at one event, Kaufman said. Because Late Night will not occur during homecoming week this year, Kaufman said he expected Cosby to draw a similar crowd size.
Ticket prices haven't been set yet, Kaufman said, but will be available in mid-September.

Though no formal changes have been made in the practicum, Peterson said she, Hepburn and Ann Weick, social welfare dean, would meet sometime in the next few weeks to discuss what, if anything, needed to be modified.
Peterson said she would look into how much safety training students were receiving, and she didn't know how or when potential changes would be implemented.
"In situations like this, you need to take care of what's in front of you." Peterson said.

Former strategist to run institute of politics
By Stephanie Farley
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAI STAMP WRITER
Bill Lacy, former White House political director for President Ronald Reagan, will start his job as the new director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics on Sept. 7.
Lacy worked with Sen. Bob Dole on his two presidential campaigns and on one of Dole's Senate campaigns.
Lacy said he was excited about heading the Dole Institute and creating a
hands-on experience for University of Kansas students in dealing with politics. The goal, Lacy said, is to encourage people to be involved in politics regardless of what their political affiliation is.

"The Dole Institute of Politics can be a real enriching agent in the educational process," he said.
Lacy said he hoped to provide a hot bed of political interest at the Dole Institute by creating an environment where students could meet and rub elbows with political practitioners.

McAllister said he was glued to focus on one job instead of two, now that Lacy had been appointed director. McAllister said he thought Lacy would do well at working with all kinds of people.
Lacy served as a fellow for one year at the Institute of Politics in the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in 1991.
Lacy said he wanted KU students to feel as comfortable at the Institute as they did at Harvard's Institute.
Lacy resigned as a campaign strategist for Dole in 1996. Lacy moved to Olathe and operated the Sophie Mae Candy Company, which he and his father are now selling.

Students' political interests vary

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
With the upcoming November election, students and politicians are concerned about issues facing young people this election.
But as some students put effort into getting the student vote, other students still don't seem to care.
Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, junior and community affairs director for Student Senate, helps run the Student Legislative Awareness Board, which registers students to vote.
to vote.
"A lot of students realize that politics does influence their lives, they just don't take an interest in it," Boots said. "Without that voice of the students, they're going to get passed by."
Boot's organization is registering people to vote on campus through a variety of programs. One of those begins this week, Boots said. Tomorrow, SLAB will pick up voter registration cards that were left in the residence halls at the beginning of the year.
Boots thinks this and other campaigns will help get students involved.
Amy Rollins won't be one of those students. Rollins, Prairie Village senior, said current politics didn't address issues she cared about.
"I wish they paid more attention to environmental issues and more attention to education," Rollins said. "That's what I'm interested in."
Tom Dickerson. Overland Park sophomore, is another student without a drive for politics. But it's not his fault, he said. Politicians don't address young peoples' concerns because they don't vote as often, he said.
"They view us as kind of a lost cause." Dickerson said.
Tyler Longpine, Hays senior, doesn't let that stop him.
He said until students voiced their opinion, politicians won't address their concerns.
Longpine has taken this semester off to devote time to get democrats in office as KU director of campaigns.

The $5,000 grant allowed the program to provide food and rent for some AIDS victims for a month.

GOP endorses anti-gay policy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Republicans endorsed an uncompromising position against gay unions yesterday in a manifesto that contrasts with Vice President Dick Cheney's supportive comments about gay rights and the moderate face the party will show at next week's
national convention.
A panel made up largely of conservative delegates approved platform language that calls for a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and opposes legal recognition of any sort for gay civil unions.
The party's full platform committee was taking up the marriage plank and other
planks late last night, meantime seeking ways to appease Republicans who support gay or abortion rights without embracing their positions.

Activists who support gay and abortion rights said they felt shut out, and sharply criticized their party for adopting a hard line in advance of a convention next week that will seek support
Christopher Barron of Log Cabin Republicans, a GOP gay-rights group, was livid after the panel endorsed the first-ever call for a constitutional gay-marriage ban in a GOP platform and went beyond that to oppose legal recognition of any same-sex unions.

New report sheds light on military
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — More than two dozen soldiers and contractors attached to a military intelligence unit at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq approved or took part in abuses of Iraqi detainees, an Army investigation has found in one of the most comprehensive looks to date at the scandal that damaged America's image around the world.
"T there were failures of leadership, of people seeing things and not correcting them."
Paul Kern U.S. General
A few of the abuses amounted to torture, Maj.
Gen. George Fay, one of the chief investigators, said yesterday.
"This is clearly a deviation from everything we've taught people on how to behave," said Gen. Paul Kern, who oversaw the investigation. "There were failures of leadership, of people seeing these things and not correcting them."
Officers in charge of the prison were negligent in the
training and management of their troops, and some may face criminal charges, Army officials said. Until now, just seven lower-ranking military police soldiers have been charged.
The new report identifies 27 people attached to the 205th Military Intelligence Brigade, which oversaw interrogations at Abu Ghraib, who are accused of complicity in the abuses.
Investigators look for crash clues
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BUCHALKI, Russia — Russian investigators labored yesterday to determine whether terrorism caused the near-simultaneous crashes of two jetliners, killing all 89 people aboard and spreading anxieties about a possible bloody escalation of the Chechen conflict.
Officials stressed that no evidence of a terrorist attack
had yet been found among charred wreckage and said they were looking at other possibilities like bad fuel, equipment malfunction and human error.
The planes plunged just days before a Kremlin-called presidential election in Chechnya, whose rebels
The planes' data recorders were recovered, but experts were only just starting to retrieve information from them.
Russian authorities had expressed concern the separatists might stage new attacks before the Sunday vote, but there was no rush to tie the crashes to Chechnya — a determination that would underline the government's failure to

"Several versions are being examined, including a terrorist attack, and other possibilities — the human and technical factor," Russia's top prosecutor, Vladimir, Ustinov, told President Vladimir Putin during a televised meeting about the Tuesday night crashes.
Putin didn't publicly address the terror question.
CORRECTIONS
Wednesday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article, "Lightning kills sirens," stated that two of Lawrence's sirens were silent during Monday night's storm. The sirens were not struck by lightning until after they sounded at 8:45 p.m. It said that there are three sirens in Lawrence. There are 17 in the area.

The Williamsons had twin boys who died from cerebral palsy in 1968. Barbara said some of the special education teachers at the school were there for the couple during their time of need.
School of Education to receive $500,000 professorship
Delbert "Del" and Barbara Williamson received help from the University of Kansas School of Education long before they pledged $250,000 to the Kansas University Endowment Association.
The donation will be used to establish a professorship in the School of Education; it is their second professorship. They previously established one as part of the KU First fund.
The Williamsons' pledge is expected to be matched by General Electric Co., which Del worked for as an engineer for 45 years. The matching funds will bring the total of the pledge to $500,000.
Angela Lumpkin, dean of the School of Education, said the pledge will help to recruit a nationally known professor. The fund, Lumpkin said, will help raise the school's stature by attracting the best across the nation.
U. S. News & World Report, which ranks graduate programs annually, ranked the Department of Special Education's graduate program number one in public universities across the nation in the 2005 edition of "America's Best Graduate Schools."

Student settles with RIAA for downloading music
BY NIKOLA ROWE
nrowe@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WINTER
Charli Johnson got $444,000 worth of bad news in her mailbox in August.
She had received a letter from the Recording Industry Association of America telling her she was being sued for illegally downloading music.
With 592 songs at $750 a piece, the Winfield junior owed $444,000. She had two options: Agree to a settlement with the RIAA or go to court, fighting the hundreds of thousands of dollars in charges.
Johnson is one of 18 people in Kansas that were notified by the RIAA in the last three months they would be sued for sharing illegal downloads. Last week, Johnson settled for an undisclosed amount.
"My dad is a lawyer, so I called him on what to do," Johnson said. She took his advice and settled. "There is no way I could have gotten out of it
if I went to court," Johnson said.
Part of Johnson's agreement with RIAA included a fine, destruction of the downloaded music and a signed agreement saying she would no longer share copyrighted music.
Most settlement fines average $3,000, said Jonathan Lamy, RIAA spokesman. Johnson said her fine was close to that average.
The University of Kansas provides information on its Web site about illegal downloads, which includes a link to www.musicunited.org. This Web site includes a list of more than 50 sites where people can go to legally download music.
The goal of the committee is to provide resources to school administrators in educational efforts, student responsibility, technological solutions and examining differences and exploring prospects for collaboration on legislative initiatives. Members of the committee include Cary Sherman from the RIAA and Graham Spanier from Pennsylvania State University.
All students who live in resident halls and use ResNet must sign an agreement to not download or share copyrighted works.
Tuesday, entertainment and University leaders reviewed efforts to curb illegal file-sharing on college campuses. The committee included representatives from the RIAA and other universities.
Tysen Kendig, Penn State spokesman, said his university is on the leading edge of online services enforcing copyright laws.
"Ilegal file-sharing has found a breading ground on college campuses because of high-speed computer networks that colleges operate and because college-age students are high consumers of music," Kendig said.
Johnson knows she isn't the only one who illegally downloads music.
"It was completely random bad luck," Johnson said.

ILLEGAL DOWNLOAD LAWSUITS MADE BY THE RIAA LAST YEAR
September 2003 There are 281 lawsuits across the country for illegal downloads.
April 2004 — Two University students are sued and identified as Doe 1 and Doe 2.
Dec. 15, 2003 — Doe 1's largest illegal download was made which included such artists as Rage Against the Machine, Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins
Jan. 26, 2004 — Doe 2's largest illegal download was made, including songs from the Dixie Chicks, Alabama, Clint Black, Journey and Phil Collins.
May 2004 - The RIAA filed 493 lawsuits, 44 against residents of Kansas and Missouri.

Rec center expansion date bumped up
BY LAURA FRANCIGVILIA
lfrancoviglia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WINTER
Students may not have to wait as long for basketball courts or weight equipment at the Student Recreation Fitness Center. An expansion to the rec center could come four to five years sooner than previously expected. Building for the new addition may begin as soon as next year.
The expansion is still in the preliminary planning process, but possible additions include at least four more basketball courts, additional racketball courts and
more free weight space.
Richard Johnson, dean of students, said the Board of Regents will review the project in September or October for approval.
Once the board of Regents reviews and approves the plan, a building committee will be assembled, said Steve Munch, student body president.
Munch, Bellevue, Neb., junior, said students, as well as administrators and rec center directors, would make up the committee.
The Athletics Department will fund the expansion through an agreement signed
last April by Lew Perkins, athletic director and Andy Knopp, former student body president. According to the agreement, the department will fund the addition to the rec center for up to $1 million each year.
Strolling in the rain
The agreement states that students will exchange tickets at Allen Fieldhouse for funding for the expansion to the rec center.
The tickets students give up are ones that have been unused. Students enter into a year-to-year agreement with the department to let KUAC sell the unused tickets. Before, students got nothing in return. Now, the

money will be used for the rec center expansion.
Sean Lester, associate athletic director for internal affairs, said the department is securing funding for the addition.
"Everyone should win," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletic director for external affairs. "Students get all the tickets they need."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
EDITORIAL

Ranking boost should be noted but not glorified
Robert
Chancellor Robert Hemenway's dream to make the University of Kansas a top 25 public research university may slowly be coming true. After three years of tuition increases and two years of decreasing status among our "peer" universities, Chancellor Hemenway can chalk up a small victory. U.S.News and World Report recently proclaimed the University of Kansas to be the 42nd best public institution in the nation, two spots up from last year's historical low of 44th.
Hemenway has noted this as a major accomplishment despite decreased funding from the state. Not only does he credit students, faculty and staff for the accomplishment, but he recognizes generous donors as well.
While it is encouraging to know the University is well-respected by its peers in academia, one has to wonder whether their opinion should be used to gauge the quality of a KU degree. There are several reasons for not placing great belief in rankings compiled from strictly academic sources.
Professionally, there are detractors of U.S. News and World Report's rankings and other groups that release similar findings. Their complaints range from placing too much emphasis on certain criteria to changing around the various fields in order to help some schools score higher. This is not to say the University should not strive to be respected by other institutions, but
students choose their universities based on more than a general rating.
Factors of a largely personal nature can come into play. Proximity to home, financial cost and the quality of a specific program or department are just as much determining factors as retention and graduation rate. Even if an institution has an overall excellent reputation, a potential student may reject it if it does not suit his or her needs.
Employability after graduation is the true test of an institution's quality. If a student can't find a work after completing his undergraduate courses, what does that say about the university and its curriculum? Students' future employers, not a professor or administrator at another university, will need to accept their degree from the University as superior. Perhaps areas that U.S.News and World Report consider important at a university, such as funding and classroom size, are not as important to future employers, who are more concerned with what the students gained in talents from their particular university.
The rankings should be noted and filed away. We should not focus on the victory of rising two spots in the nation's eyes. Rather, the individual student and employers should remain in focus. As long as they perceive the University as serving their needs, the University the will be respected.

'Street speak' defines students
LANGUAGE RULES!
"English usage is sometimes more than mere taste, judgment, and education — Sometimes it's sheer luck, like getting across the street." — E. B. White
LANGUAGE RULES!
Luck helps, but there's more to language than occasionally getting lucky.
Hi. We are April and Lauren: seniors, English majors and students interested in the way you speak and write. Every Wednesday this semester we will discuss one issue of the English language. English is constantly changing, and there are as many opinions about its proper use as there are English users. We will use this column to present a thorough report on the state of English language and its relevance to your everyday lives.
it is easy to overlook the power and diversity inherent in English, the language KU students share. After learning the fundamentals of grammar, most native speakers stop questioning their mastery of the language in everyday contexts. At the same time, language is a big part of most people's identities. People tend to have strong reactions when an element of their speech or writing is challenged.
APRIL BENSON AND LAUREN STEWART
opinion@kansan.com
writing is challenging.
For instance, have you ever quibbled with your out-of-state roommate about whether the general term for a sugar, carbonated beverage is "pop," "soda" or "coke?" Or, while writing a paper, have you struggled to avoid ending a sentence with a preposition? Maybe you have accidentally offended someone by making an unfortunate word choice ("I swear I didn't mean 'bitch' like that!"), or maybe it just frustrates you that an instructor insists upon "perfect grammar" in writing assignments.
In fact, the University of Kansas has a language of its own. You are probably proficient in it if you've been here for a while. For new Jayhawks, however, expressions like "I hope to walk down the hill in 2005" or "I live in Watkins" may be confusing. By way of explication, "walking down the hill" is the common phrase used to describe the commencement activities held every May, when graduating students walk through the Campanile and down the hill into Memorial Stadium. The idea of living in Watkins is not at all unusual to students familiar with the scholarship halls, but the idea may seem absurd to a student who knows Watkins only as the place to go for prescriptions, shots and medical advice. (Both buildings are named after Elizabeth M. Watkins, a KU benefactor in the 1930s).
If you hear a more informal expression like "I'm hanging on Mass this afternoon," and you aren't sure if that means a religious service or some other place (such as Massachusetts Street in downtown Lawrence), ask someone who sits next to you in class, your resident assistant, an advisor, a professor ... ask SOMEONE. It's important to know these things—even if you feel uncomfortable asking at first—because all Jayhawks deserve to be a part of the KU community.
Language can bring people together. A shared vocabulary means some kind of shared understanding and knowledge. Using the University's lingo helps us communicate with each other and build a community.
The criteria that create this community also work to exclude certain people. KU lingo excludes people without KU connections. For example, your parents may not know what classes you're taking if you tell them you're in coms, organic or poli sci, though you know you're in a communication studies, organic chemistry or political science class.
Although being excluded from the KU community may not seem that tragic, language-based exclusions can be more severe in other situations. If people allow themselves to be excluded, perhaps by not seeking help from lawyers who can decipher legalese or from accountants who can understand the intricacies of the tax system, then the language is controlling them. Intentionally excluding others can be even more detrimental.
Language is more powerful than most people consider. Understanding the KU language means familiarity with the elements that make up the university community. In a larger scope, understanding a language — whether it's your first or third — is more than just fundamentals.

Columnist's take on diversity offtarget and ill-informed
Dear editors,
In her ill-informed diatribe about diversity, Arrah Nielsen writes that if "the ethnic make-up of Kansas is mirrored in the student body, there would be hardly any minorities on campus."
U. S. Census data for 2000 show that about 14 percent of Kansans are non-white, and enrollment numbers show that there were 27,772 students enrolled at the University in Spring 2004. Even if you were to buy the idea that the University should be only as diverse as the state, that would mean 3,888 minorities should be on campus
— not a number that I would define as "hardly any."
Celebrating diversity does not lead to hiring blind people to drive buses. Here's a better example of diversity in practice: making sure the Kansan opinion page has many viewpoints, including someone on the conservative side. Will Ms. Nielsen argue against that?
Ehren Meditz
Shawnee
2004 University of Kansas graduate
It doesn't surprise me that Ms. Nielsen would assume to know what the "ethnic make-up of Kansas" is, and it is apparent from her writing that she has only a minimal understanding of what "celebrating diversity" entails. She argues that we should "extend the concept of diversity beyond race" and begin by "hiring blind bus drivers for KU on Wheels."
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THU
Diversitycolumnshowscore ofmisunderstanding,problem
I agree that the University is doing a poor job about diversity issues, but Ms. Nielsen's article, for the most part, celebrates ignorance.
She saves herself with the last paragraph, but the majority of her article exemplifies the core of the problem. She doesn't seem to understand what is to gain.
Dear editors
I was shocked to see that her major is Anthropology. Studying peoples
and cultures, I would think that shewould have a better understanding of this issue. Making a political point is one thing, but mocking the idea of intermingling people from different-backgrounds for educational enrichment is ridiculous. Where would we be if everyone we went to school with was simply a clone of ourselves? (K-State?)
When speaking of faculty, it is difficult to change the norm. When Democrats fund public education and Republicans don't, it's easy to see why our faculty lean to the left.

Patrol surprises again
Three Kemper Awards remain; Presentations to be in September
By Ross Fitch
fitch@kansan.com
KANSAN STAF WRITER
Chancellor Robert Hemenway and the surprise patrol continued to hand out Kemper Awards this week. As of yesterday, 17 professors have received awards, with three left to go.
Along with the Lawrence campus, three professors at the KU medical centers in Kansas City and Wichita will also receive awards. The William T. Kemper Awards, each worth $5,000, recognize outstanding teachers and advisors.
On Monday, Hemenway and his patrol surprised three faculty members. The recipients were Danny Anderson, professor and chair in the department of Spanish and Portuguese; Monica Biernat, professor of psychology; and David Cateforis, associate professor of art history.
The recipients of Tuesday's awards were Yolanda Jackson, associate professor of applied behavioral science; Stephen D. Smith, professor of pediatrics; and Barbara Anthony-Twarog, professor of physics and astronomy.
Yesterday was the final day for handing out awards on the Lawrence campus. The Lawrence campus' final recipients of the year were Matt Jacobson, assistant professor of
theater and film; Rita Napier, associate professor of history; and Debora M. Ortega, associate professor of social welfare.
According to Dan Lara, spokesman for University Relations, the three remaining awards will be handed out in September.
September.
He said one award would be handed out Wednesday, Sept. 1, at the Kansas City Medical Center; one on Wednesday, Sept. 22, at the Wichita Medical Center; and the final award would be handed out Tuesday, Sept. 28, back at the Kansas City Medical Center.
In all, $100,000 will be distributed through the Kemper Awards this year.

The Gray Panthers are a cross-generational group of activists dedicated to social change, said Calhoun.
Burdett Loomis, professor and chair of political science, said that many students weren't as interested in the political process because they didn't have a lot of interaction with government.
"One becomes more political as one becomes more involved," Loomis said. "Students just don't have as much of a stake in government."
He guessed that students would get more involved if government affected them more on a daily basis. A military draft could incite students to get involved, he said, particularly if there were no student deferments.
Loomis said some students chose to get involved because they saw something that affected them profoundly or interested them somehow, but that they were in the minority.

Area grocers help Muslims with diet needs
BY STEPHEN SHUPE

Some Muslims prefer not to eat in restaurants that serve alcohol, said Mariam Papa, first-year pharmacy student from Leawood.
Eating a Muslim diet in Lawrence presents a few challenges, but keeping certain guidelines in mind and knowing the ingredients of certain foods make correct dieting possible.
"It's kind of hard to eat in places that don't serve alcohol in America," said Papa. "Not all of us follow a strict code."

Kleinmann's dreams fulfilled
BY JESSE NEWELL

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Editor's Note: Bill Self's first recruiting class at Kansas has been highly touted. Kansan sportswriter Jesse Newwell will profile each of this year's freshmen as they prepare for their first game as Jayhawks on Saturday, Sept. 4 in Vancouver, Canada.
There is one painting in Matt Kleinmann's room he didn't create. Though he won national awards for his oil images in high school, this particular one did not come from his own hand.
Framed on his wall is the painting titled "Jaydreamin'." The picture depicts a boy, sitting on a basketball in the yard of Allen Fieldhouse, staring at the Kansas shrine. Around the border of Kleinnmann's painting are autographs from 10 Kansas coaches and players, all received when Kleinnmann attended a Jayhawk basketball camp as a child.
Even as he considered scholarship offers to University of the Pacific and Valparaiso University, Kleinmann's room always seemed to bring him back to Kansas.
to Kansas.
“It’s kind of like a dream come true,” Kleinmann said. “I’ve always been a big fan of Kansas. Living in Kansas you either love them or you love another team, and I’ve always loved Kansas.”
The 6-foot-10 Kleinmann, who grew up in Overland Park and attended Blue Valley West High School, is a Kansas walk-on this season, turning down offers from Yale, South Florida and The College of William & Mary to make his Jayhawk dream a reality. He also rejected an invitation to walk on to North Carolina's basketball team after receiving phone calls from UNC assistant coach and former Kansas player Jerod Haase.
In the end, Kleinmann said he thought Kansas was a better fit.
"I felt at ease with all the guys —
even more so than on some of the visits I went to," Kleinmann said. "It was just a really good connection with a lot of the guys and a lot of the coaches."
the guys at Kleinmann will have to fight for playing time among a talented Kansas front court. National Player of the Year candidate Wayne Simien returns, along with juniors Moulaye Niang and Christian Moody. The Jayhawks will also bring in highly touted freshmen forwards Sasha Kaun, C.J. Giles and Darnell Jackson, who will all battle for playing time.
Guards Russell Robinson and Alex Galindo round out the Kansas recruiting class.
Coach Bill Self said that Kleinmann,
despite being the only walk-on of the freshman group, had more than held his own in early practices.
"The freshmen are doing great, Matt Kleinmann included," Self said. "They are all six ahead of where I thought they'd be."
Kleinmann will not only have to fight for playing time, but also to win over fans and overturn a numerical curse. The freshman forward requested the number 54, but when the order came in, jersey number 44 was delivered instead. Public criticism of Eric Chenowith and David Padgett, who both donned the number 44, have caused Jayhawk fans to be apprehensive about players who wear the number.
"For me, it's not a big deal," Kleinmann said. "A number doesn't mean anything, it's how you play."
The forward said he had already been approached by fans about the supposed hex.
"People say, 'You have the same number as Padgett and Chenowith,' said Kleinmann. "They were good players often times."
"It's just a number to me, and right now, I'm just happy to have a number," Kleinmann said.
And happy to be a part of Kansas basketball, where Kleinmann has the opportunity to live out his Jaydreams.

Marchionny also said that the hefty home schedule was especially important considering the transitional period the program was undergoing.
Following exhibition games against Fort Hays State on Nov. 9
a iii California All-Stars on Nov. 16, the Jayhawks will open the regular season on Nov. 21 against UT Arlington.
After five home games, Kansas will begin its road schedule on Dec. 5 with an early season test against Big Ten power

Big Ten power Minnesota.
Although the Golden Gophers made a Final Four appearance in the 2004 NCAA tournament, Marchiony said the Jayhawks would approach every game with the same attitude.
"I don't think any one game is more important than any other one," Marchiony said.
After closing out the non-conference schedule, the Jayhawks will open the Big 12 Conference schedule with one of its toughest conference foes.
The conference road opener will take Kansas to Texas on Jan. 5 when it will face the defending Big 12 champion Longhorns.
The Jayhawks will host Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Baylor while hitting the road to take on Texas A&M and Oklahoma State.

Beyond the sport: Crew member's insights
Each week this semester, I'll be interviewing a different athlete from a different sport. The idea is to get into the mind of the athletes and show what they think about on and off the field, and to get past the repetitive statistics that can bore the occasional sports fan. Questions will range from what the athletes like about their sport to religion, family, politics — you get the point.
Today's focus is on Kansas Crew club member Stephen Elliott. Soft-spoken Stephen, Anthony junior, does not have the stereotypical build of a crew member. With a 6-foot-6, 270-pound frame, he is built more like a down lineman than a rower. Just returning from a summer of rowing for the Penn Athletic Club in Philadelphia, Stephen is entering his third year with Kansas Crew.
Rowing takes a lot of discipline The sport is demanding, and in order to excel you have to be able to work hard and develop good technique.
Stephen Elliott's deep thoughts:
Early practice (6:00 a.m.) is a good
thing because you get done early and it's out of the way,but the downside is you have to wake up and go to bed early.
Girls at Kansas are no different than girls anywhere else — beautiful. (Note: He said that with a laugh.)
My parents are divorced. Family is a really important thing in our society, and in recent times it has almost been destroyed. A family is a place where there's always going to be unconditional love for someone to come back to, and without that love, things will start to break down.
- Parties are good because we all need time to blow off a little steam and enjoy ourselves.
Music helps to push you along.
■ When you really enjoy classes, they're not so bad. It's important to have a healthy attitude toward learning-
It's important to have a spiritual side. Personally, I go to church every Sunday. I'm Roman Catholic — maybe not so faithful as I was in high school
SPORTS COMMENTARY
SHANE KUCERA
skucera@kansan.com
The priests at the St. Lawrence Catholic Center really helped me to find a spiritual side of life and become a better person as a result.
Success is a willingness to adapt to any situation you may find yourself in. Coming out of high school you're faced with this new world of college, and it's tough.
Life is too complicated to live by just one motto.
Personally, I really think Bush is a good president.

U.S. team shooting for medal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS, Greece — The place and the opponent don't really matter. This U.S. basketball team is on a roll.
Hushing a boisterous crowd with its all-around domination, the United States advanced to the semifinals yesterday with a 102-72 victory over Greece.
Now, only two games stand between the Americans and a third straight gold medal. They'll play the winner of the Russia-Czech Republic game tomorrow. The semifinal winners advance to the gold medal game on Saturday.
"This is it. No regrets now." Tina Thompson said. "There's no getting it back or catching up from a loss. That would mean no gold medal and, for us, no gold medal means failure."
no gold medal meet. After playing their preliminary games in a small arena at the Helliniko complex on the coast, the teams moved to the spacious 19,250-seat Olympic Indoor Hall for the medal round.
Lisa Leslie and Yolanda Griffith dominated inside, Tina Thompson hit a succession of jumpers, Shannon Johnson had her best game of the tournament and Tamika Catchings was everywhere on both ends of the floor.
The passing was sharp, the defense quick and aggressive. By the middle of the second quarter, the United States was up by 20 and the Greek fans who made up most of the crowd of 8,100 started losing their zeal.
Even the "He-las! He-las!" chant began to wane and the crowd stopped booing whenever the United States had the ball, slipping into a state of quiet acceptance.
These U.S. players, the Greek fans discovered, are pretty darn good.
Pedal to the puddle
"The crowd was great today and whenever a team feels the energy of a crowd, it plays above its head and Greece did." Diana Taurasi said.
The Americans shot 57 percent in the first half and 50 percent for the game.
Johnson and Thompson scored 20 apiece. Griffith had 14 points and 11 rebounds, Diana Taurasi had 13 points, and Leslie and Sheryl Swoopes added 12 apiece.
Final rebounding numbers: United States 44, Greece 22.

Olympic wrestler loses, plans to retire after Athens
ATHENS, Greece — Rulon Gardner was in another Olympic wrestling upset — his own.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
One of the biggest stars of the 2000 Summer Games, Gardner was thrown to the mat in overtime yesterday by Kazakhstan's Georgi Tsurtsumia and lost 4-1 in his Greco-Roman semifinal match. He wrestled for the bronze medal later that day.
Gardner was as surprised as anyone when Tsurtsumia somehow pulled off the winning 3-point move in their 264 1/2-
Turtsumia looked upward at the scoreboard, still unsure for just a moment that he'd won, then jumped into his coach's arms. Gardner seemed confused, too, searching for an explanation as he turned toward his corner and U.S. coach Steve Fraser.
Just like that, Rulon's remarkable comeback from a spate of injuries and misfortune was finished. Kneeling on the mat as Tsurtsumia celebrated, Gardner thought "It's over, it's done," he
said. "Beyond that, I wasn't even tired."
Gardner went from obscurity to celebrity after his stunning upset four years ago of the onceinvincible Alexander Karelin, generally considered the greatest wrestler of all time. But Gardner has fought through a long succession of physical ailments since Sydney.
He lost a toe — and nearly his life — after a February 2002 snowmobiling accident left him stranded for 18 hours in the wilderness of Wyoming.
He survived a motorcycle crash earlier this year, only to severely dislocate his right
wrist in a pickup basketball game.
After his loss, Gardner was composed and gracious. He greeted reporters with a "Hey, how are you doing?" then went into a long, clinical explanation of how it happened.
The short version of the match from Gardner: He aggressively went at Tsurtsumia, trying to take the lead against a tiring opponent, but left himself unguarded and Tsurtsumia stepped around and took him to the mat.
"One throw and that's the whole match," Gardner said. "One mistake."
Gardner wound on top of Tsurtsumia once they struck the mat, but neither Gardner nor Fraser argued the scoring
— even though Gardner, while on the mat, briefly hoped he would get credit for the reversal.
Gardner already knows where he's going from here: into retirement. He plans to leave his shoes on the mat after the bronze medal match, the traditional sign that a wrestler's career is over.
"Look, these guys are good — he was third in the world last year." Gardner said.
Early in his semifinal match.

he looked to be on track in his quest to become the United States' first two-time gold medalist in Greco-Roman wrestling and only the fourth in any kind of wrestling.
"No regrets," Gardner said. "I gave it 100 percent and he got me."
Gardner beat Tsurtumia 3-0 in a U.S. tournament last year, but finished only 10th in the world championships while Tsurtumia was third.
In his other major competition this year, Tsurtsumia won the Asian championships in April on his home turf in Kazakhstan.

Toomey, middle linebacker, was second on the team with 121 tackles. In addition, he had one interception that he returned for a touchdown in the game against UNLV.
Most Tackles in a Season and Toomey was honored with the Ray Evans Award for Defensive MVP.
Outside linebacker Reid led the team with 133 total tackles. That total is the eighth-best in school history. Reid has started 19-straight games, dating back to 2002.
Floodman, the other outside linebacker, was fourth on the team in tackles with 93.

Here's a look at the Kansas depth chart for the linebacker.
"You've got to be nasty to play defense. Last year we were nasty, but this year we are nastier." Floodman said.
Backing up the three juniors are three more juniors; Brandon Perkins, Kevin Kane and Darren Rus make up the depth chart.
Those three could be important with all the hitting that the linebackers take. Toomey recorded double-digit tackles in six of the first 10 games of last season. In the last three games he managed 14 total tackles.
After an offseason where
Toomey had surgery, and saw his weight drop to 220 pounds, he has bulked up to 238, a personal high. Last season he was listed at 230.
He's also trying to change how he plays the game in order to protect himself.
"That's what I have been working on — fundamental things, more shedding off blockers with my hands rather than trying to rip them with my shoulders." Toomey said.
While the season has not yet started, the linebacker corps is pumped for the season to begin.
"I have been out all spring. I am ready to hit. We've been lighting each other up; it's been great," Toomey said.

Throughout the 2004-2005 schedule, the Jayhawks will face 11 teams that made the postseason in 2004.
Trying to capitalize on the experience of facing some of the country's elite teams, the women's basketball program is currently pursuing a broadcasting deal.

Today's Birthday (Aug. 26).
Today's Birthday (Aug. 26).
Children can be a joy and delight, as you may already know. This year, however, you'll learn from the kids and develop remarkable skills. You may teach them valuable skills, too.
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Today is a 5.
You don't have much time to spend with a loved one now, so the words you choose are even more important. Luckily, you can find the right ones.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 10.
You don't have to go into debt to travel. Visiting dear friends will get the change of scenery you want, plus a healthy shot of love. If you don't have the time for that, a long phone call could work.
HOROSCOPES
Gemini (May 21-June 21).
Today is a 4.
An item you've been looking for suddenly goes on sale. You'd better check the newspapers and catalogs again. You can find the money, too.
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
today is a 9.
Be cheerful, yet respectful, and you'll find yourself blessed. The data and skills you receive now can help you discover a whole new world.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 7.
Knock yourself out to get the job done and to provide the best possible service. You could even win a bonus for effort that goes beyond the call of duty.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22), Today is a 9.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22).
Love's in the air, so why resist? A long, meaningful conversation could lead to plans you'll both enjoy carrying out together.
Today is a 4.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
The bad news is that you have to deal with a household matter you've avoided. The good news is that you'll finally get it fixed after all these years.
The more you practice, the better you get and the more others respect your talent. Talent all by itself isn't much, but add some hard work, and it shines.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 5.
It never hurts to let people know what's on your wish list. You gain more than goods or money when you let others contribute.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Get started now. Don't wait any longer. You have the confidence to hit the target, even though it's further away than before.
Today is an 8.
The "haves" seem to gain more easily than the "have nots," but why is that? It's partially because, as you'll see today, they believe it can be done.
Today is an 8.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18).
Today is a 4.
Friends support a partnership that you may be worried about. You can achieve the level of perfection that's required. Apply your hidden talents.

Ticket deadline extended
BY MIRANDA LENNING

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Last Tuesday afternoon, Justin Hume, Lawrence senior, called the athletic ticket office to see if he had to be a full-time student to qualify for the student season-ticket package for men's basketball and football games.
Hume said the ticket representative told him that the ticket packages were no longer being sold. The representative also told him that in order to obtain
tickets students must have purchased them on Enroll & Pay by Aug. 18.
As of yesterday, that policy has changed.
Richard Johnson, dean of students, met with athletic department officials and Steve Munch, student body president, to discuss student ticket packages for basketball and football. They agreed to extend the purchasing deadline until Tuesday.
This extension allowed students to walk up to the ticket office at Allen Fieldhouse and purchase ticket packages to accommodate students, Munch said.
"In the past, the time frame between orientation and the start of school seemed to be enough time for students to buy tickets," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.
But this year students still want tickets. Marchiony said.
About 7,300 ticket packages have been sold to date, and with the extension of the purchasing deadline, more tickets could be sold, Marchiony said. He said he did not expect a large number of sales between now and Tuesday.
"I think that 99.9 percent of students who want to purchase ticket packages have already done so," Marchiony said.
Regardless, the 7,300 ticket packages is more than the 4,295 seats allotted for students at the fieldhouse. Marchiony said the athletic department did not see a problem with the large number of tickets sold.
"It is not overselling," Marchiony said. "We know from decades of

"It's so nice here compared to western Kansas," she said. "It was miserable. Even Democrats were afraid to put much money out, if they owned a shop. That's pretty disheartening."

Edwards no longer considered off-campus
Nonresident students must pay out-of-state tuition for first time
By Ross Fitch
fritch@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Until this semester, all students at the University of Kansas' Edwards Campus paid in-state tuition. That all changed this summer, and a solution is currently under way.
Edward s out-of-state students realized tuition would triple two months before the bill was due.
On June 24,
the Kansas
Board of
Regents
approved proposed changes to tuition and fees at the University of Kansas.
"I came into the
grad program thinking I would get the resident rate."
Katie Putnam
Omaha, Neb., graduate student
Now the Edwards Campus is governed by on-campus location fee structures, and is charging nonresident tuition rates for the first time.
The Regents' approval designated the Edwards Campus as an on-campus location. Because the Edwards Campus is no longer considered off-campus, the tuition rate, which was equivalent to the resident tuition rate regardless of students' residency status, no longer applied.
Katie Putnam, Omaha, Neb., graduate student, said the change was disturbing because it drastically changed what she thought she was getting at the Edwards Campus for what she was paying.
"I was pretty upset because I came into the grad program thinking I would get the resident rate," Putnam said.
She said by the time she found out about the change in July, she was already admitted into her degree program.
She said she would have to stop attending classes at Edwards unless she received more financial aid.
David Shulenburger, provost and executive vice chancellor, said the Edwards Campus fee structure had provided a loophole in the past for nonresident students to take courses the resident tuition rate.
"Because in-state students support the University through their taxes, it is unfair for non-residents to take classes at the resident rate," he said.
He said the tuition change made it fair for residents.
Kip Peterson, director of government relations and communications for the Kansas Board of Regents, said the Regents approved the tuition proposal because the mission of the Edwards Campus was to serve the workforce needs of greater Kansas City. Edwards recruitment focused on the Kansas City metro area residents, and the University's proposal brought its tuition structure in line with that of other state universities.

Poems linked to BTK killer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — Investigators in the BTK serial killings said Thursday a 1979 poem appeared to be an original writing from the killer and asked the public's help in tracking it down.
The poem, titled "Oh Anna, Why Didn't You Appear," was sent to a Wichita television station in June 1979 and appears related to a burglary that occurred April 28, 1979, at a Wichita home. The woman who lived at the home had come home later than usual on the day of the burglary.
Lt. Ken Landwehr told reporters Thursday that an extensive search by the department did not discover any published work similar to the poem.
"We want to talk to anyone who may have seen the original poem, or has any other knowledge of that poem," Landwehr said.
Landwehr said,
Landwehr, who took no questions from reporters, did not say why investigators waited until now to release the poem.
In a series of letters signed BTK — which stands for "bind, torture, kill" — the killer claimed responsibility for eight deaths in Wichita between 1974 and 1986.
Last week, investigators released another BTK poem, "Oh! Death to Nancy." One 'of the BTK's victims was Nancy Fox.
Text of 1979 poem, "Oh, Anna Why Didn't You Appear," from BTK killer, which was released Thursday by Wichita police.
T' was perfect plan of deviant pleasure so bold on that Spring nite My inner felling hot with propension of a new awakening season

Oh, Anna, Why Didn't You Appear Drop of fear fresh Spring rain would roll down from your nakedness to scent to lofty fever that burns within,
In that small world of longing, fear, rapture, and desparation, the game
Police said it had striking similarities to the lyrics of an old folk song, "Oh Death." Police also said evidence from BTK's writings indicated the killer was familiar with a Wichita State University professor who had discussed "Oh Death" in class.
Landwehr asked the public last week to help identify anyone who had contact with professor PJ. Wyatt, who died in 1991, or knew someone familiar with "Oh Death." They received 100 new tips.

Attention has refocused on BTK since March, when The Wichita Eagle received a letter with information on an unsolved 1986 killing. The letter contained a copy of the victim's driver's license and photos taken after she was slain.
it was the first communication from the BTK Strangler since the late 1970s, and police said it linked the killer to an eighth slaying. The other seven people were slain in the 1970s.

Lock, smart parking keys to stopping bike theft
BY NICOLA ROWE
nrowe@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WINTER
Bike thefts made up the majority of the 77 reported thefts on campus last year, according to the KU Public Safety Office. Today, though, one KU student isn't concerned with bike theft.
Joe Coburn, Beloit junior,
uses a $35 lock to protect the
heirloom bike he inherited
from his grandmother. With
rusted spots and a banana seat,
Coburn's bike has more senti-
mental value than monetary.
---
"If someone steals my bike and breaks my lock, they can have it because that's a lot of work." Coburn said.
Not all students are as easy-going when it comes to bike theft. Dan Sushes, owner of Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop, said he understood why students would be concerned about preventing bike theft. Bikes are expensive. Suhges sells bikes that cost from $250 to $3,000. He has worked at the shop at 804 Massachusetts St. since 1989, and said he had not noticed an increase in bike thefts lately.
"We do get calls from people
needing to know their serial numbers because their bike was stolen, but I haven't seen an increase in thefts since the mid-1990s when mountain bikes became popular," he said.
Sughes said most thefts happened when an owner had a lock but forget to use it. Short stops at convenience stores or friends' houses are easy targets for thefts because the owners do not take the time to lock their bikes. Parking in the same spot every day can also make a bike a target. If someone notices a bike in the same location, a thief can figure out what type of lock the bike owner uses and then come back the next week with appropriate tools to break the lock. Locking your bike in a hidden location doesn't help because if people cannot see the bike, people cannot see the thief. This gives the thief time to work on breaking the lock.
To prevent bike theft, Sughes gave four suggestions. First, buy a good lock. Second, use that lock. The third suggestion to prevent theft is to park in different spots every day, and finally, park in a visible location.
Sughes sells two types of
locks in his shop. One is the cable lock. It is more convenient because it is easier to carry and makes it possible to lock a bike to things other than bike racks. The other type is the U-lock. The U-lock is more secure than the cable lock but harder to carry. Sughes said the cable locks were not as secure because it would only take a person about 20 minutes to cut through a cable lock with bolt cutters.
The owner also has to remove the front wheel to lock the entire bike to a rack. The cable locks cost $20 and the Ulocks cost between $25 and $30.
Sughes said there were also hardened-chain locks that gave more security than the U-locks but cost between $70 and $80. Sughes said the shop did not carry these locks because of their price.
BIC
The first questions Sughes asks customers when they buy bike locks are how often they ride their bikes and where they are planning to park. Sughes said U-locks were best for those who ride their bikes often, such as students who ride to class, and those who lock their bikes outside at

night.
Cycle Works, 2121 Kasold Drive, also carries cable locks and U-locks. Matt Klock,
Cycle Works associate, said the cable locks were more convenient. Both types of locks cost $19.95 at Cycle Works. They
are also available at retail stores such as Wal-Mart.

Pet-friendly hall wing debuts at Stephens College
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Abbey Road is making friends at Stephens College. It's hard to resist the little newcomer's energetic personality, her intense eyes, her lovely hair.
And those uninhibited kisses — especially if you throw the Jack Russell, terrier's slobber-slick tennis ball.
Abbey Road moved in this week with owner Alexandra Geisler at Stephens' Prunty Hall, where the first floor is debuting as an unusual pet-
friendly zone for dogs, cats and rabbits.
"It means everything to me. I am so much happier when Abbey is around," said Geisler, a 20-year-old sophomore from Long Island, N.Y.
Most colleges and universities don't allow pets beyond fish or small reptiles, with legally required exceptions for service animals. There are many reasons. Noise. Smell. Safety from bites and scratches. Allergies. Having to watch where you step.
neglect when the appeal of a cute pet is overtaken by the hectic pace of student life. College-town animal shelters frequently take in more abandoned animals when school is out.
And there's a potential for
At Stanford University, a rescue society unaffiliated with the school has been established for stray cats around campus, many of them abandoned.
"There were lots of discussions, but students asked for this — so after the knee-jerk reaction that we cannot do it, we started talking about practical ways we could allow some pets," said Libby, whose school was founded in 1833 as a women's college (it is now coed, but most students are female).
Stephens didn't jump into its pet-friendly experiment haphardly, said Wendy Libby, who became president last year.
Stephens has lots of rules. Dogs must be 40 pounds or less. All pets must be kept in crates or cages when the student is out of the room. A fenced dog run has been built
outside Prunty. The program will be evaluated constantly, including whether pet noise is below an acceptable level.
They're starting small: five students are sharing space with pets in the new semester: two dogs, two cats and two rabbits. Stephens is also working with a local animal shelter to link select students with homeless pets.
"My mom was like, 'Are you sure you want to do this?' But it is very well thought out and I'm going to work to make it a success," said Bethany Dean,
19, a junior from Dallas who adopted a female Himalayan cat named Fluffy.
The cat tilted its head in curiosity, then went back to snuggle her owner as Danielle Gibbs, 19, a sophomore from Overland Park, Kan., walked by with her two rabbits, Fleur and Elphie.
"I'm excited to have the rabbits here. I am one of those people, when I'm upset, I tend to hold it back and hold it in, but I can just hold my rabbits and its calms me down," Gibbs said.

Students must be smart about oil consumption
The rapid escalation of the price of oil during the past months has caused a small panic. The stock market has been on a downward trend, consumers have been enraged by the charges for refueling their vehicles and prominent economists are worried about the possibility of recession. However, there is a silver lining to this economic storm cloud. By forcing consumers, businesses and politicians to take a more serious look at alternative energy sources, the price increase could lead to a more environmentally friendly economy.
economy. Oil is arguably the most important commodity in the world. There are very few goods or services that do not require oil at some point in their production or marketing. When the price of oil increases, so does the price of every single product or service that uses oil as an input to its creation. This creates an inflationary wave that ripples through the entire economy.
May. While this inflation is not expected to be a large problem for the economy, it does force Alan Greenspan to raise interest rates, though a few more months of low interest rates would be helpful in pulling the economy out of its current soft spot.
through the entire economy. The recent oil price increase has followed this pattern. In fact, 61 top economists surveyed by USA Today in August recently increased the expected consumer price index, which is the measurement of inflation. For 2004 it's at 3.1 percent, up .5 percent from their estimate in May.
A rapid oil price increase is also detrimental to economic growth, especially in developing countries that are even more reliant on oil than the United States. When consumers and businesses have to spend more on oil, it means that
they have less to spend on other goods and services that contribute more to economic growth.
more to economic growth. In fact, ever since gasoline prices in the U.S. increased, Wal-Mart's sales have taken a hit due to being squeezed out of consumers' budgets by gasoline, said an Associated Press article this week.
Press article this week. While oil price increases do cause short-term problems, they are probably overdue, especially in the United States, where gasoline prices have been much lower compared to those in other countries for decades. The beauty of the free market economy is that it forces innovation.
This current situation will be no exception, and that innovation is already happening in some ways, as exemplified by the dramatic ramp-up of hybrid car production due in 2006 from U.S. manufacturers. This innovation has several benefits, most noticeably for the environment, consumers' pocketbooks and those who would like to see an end to U.S. dependence on Middle Eastern oil.
As a consumer, you, too will be forced to adapt to the oil price increase.
There are many options for doing so: You can purchase a more fuel-efficient vehicle, you can opt to walk or bicycle more often, you can carpool, you can practice more fuel-efficient driving techniques, or you can simply combine more chores into one trip.
The sooner you adapt, the sooner you'll have that much more money than the people who will still be pouring their income into the tank of their giant sport utility vehicles.

Voting helps ensure democracy
The hype surrounding the elections campaigns this year, and a growing sentiment that the catastrophe of the 2000 election indicates the elections process can, at best, be questionable, and may leave many potential voters disenchanted. This disenchantment has persuaded even the most ideal people to underestimate the impact their vote may have.
While the media and the politicians themselves have sensationalized the political arena, potential voters must not lose sight of the bigger picture — the ideals upon which the United States was supposedly created.
PERSPECTIVE
Our government functions through democracy. While the word has several definitions, the primary idea is a government decided by the people which it governs, whether directly, through local and state elections, or on a larger scale by elected officials who are entrusted with power to make decisions that serve the best interests of those they represent.
represent.
A democracy ensures the rights of the people to choose. This right to choice is best demonstrated through voting. The vote is a powerful tool. It ensures the majority of the people are best served the majority of the time. While the ideals of democracy are often drowned out by the smaller, petty details of campaign politics, they are

not yet obsolete.
In order to ensure that these ideals remain effective, a number of actions must take place. People who are eligible to vote should educate themselves on the issues that are most pertinent to them and choose the candidate who will best address these issues.
will best address those people who do not agree with a particular situation or governmental position should voice their opinions without fear of persecution. One of the main points of a democracy is it is not a rigid political structure, but can change to best serve everyone. The constitution has undergone many amendments since its inception, and there are several ways in which these changes have occurred. The most impacting amendments arose through protest and dissent.
A common misconception is that people who protest and complain about
the government are "unpatriotic" and that they do not appreciate what it means to be an American. This is untrue. Those who complain and want change are demonstrating exactly what it is to be an American. They care about this country, and want to be proud of it as well, a difficult task when a great majority of the world views the United States and our leader as a joke. These "dissidents" are exercising a power that is often overlooked.
power that is oftenOnce eligible voters educate themselves, the next step is to actually vote. Another key to the democratic process is that everyone who is free, able and of legal voting age is allowed to vote. This was not always the case, but is possible today through the efforts and protests of thousands of people who utilized the tools of democracy.
tools of democracy. If you are a U.S.citizen,you have the right to vote,a chance to participate in the government that creates and upholds the rules and regulations by which this country operates. While it might not seem like much,voting ensures that at least a part of democracy remains intact. If people refuse their rights,then they refuse their choice, and their voice no longer counts. Uphold democracy and vote this year.

Studying math equals coolness
As a teacher of Math 101, I've been asked my fair share of questions. Nothing compares, however, to the glowing feeling I get when students scrunch their faces in distaste, shoot up their hands, and ask the achingly familiar question: "But when are we ever going to use this?"
PERSPECTIVE
It's a common misperception that non-math majors cannot benefit from the study of math. To remedy this and answer my students' questions forevermore, here's a list gleaned from years of math class experience.
EJECTIVE
KATE JENSEN opinion@kansan.com
Ladies and gentlemen, with no further ado I'd like to present the Top 10 Practical Applications of Math to Your Life.
10. Party conversation — Can't think of what to say during awkward party time silences? Imagine interspersing your keg stands with some philosophical conversations about imaginary numbers or enthralling the crowd with a cheerful tale of Lebesgue integration. Nothing says "life of the party" like a good grasp of the modern conventions of mathematics.
9. Sexual appeal — Let's face it, nearly everyone out there is looking for a way to make themselves more attractive. Traditionally, people have relied on nonsensical methods such as "personal hygiene" and "grooming" to improve their attractiveness quotient, but the real key to irresistibility is rolling off obscure mathematical facts with ease. It's like a foreign language: No one
8. Pick up lines — While #9 may render pick up lines unnecessary, it never hurts to have a few extra tricks up your sleeve. Where else but in math class could you learn gems such as "Baby, you derive me crazy" or "Girl, I don't differentiate, let's hook up and integrate"?
understands, but all the chicks (and guys, for that matter) seem to dig it.
7. Fashion — For those truly seeking to find their own sense of style, few departments can compete with mathematics. Take a short walk around Snow Hall if you are unsure of what I mean.
5. "Splitting" the check — Also known as the Emergency Cash Backup Plan. You know what to do when the time comes to split a restaurant check and your friends pass it over to you because "you're good at math..." Well, it's not your fault they didn't pay attention in algebra.

4. Irrefutable correctness — This application of math is particularly useful in dealing with a frustrating boss or annoying coworker. When said boss or coworker begins to pester you with arguments, simply state you cannot be wrong because of such and such a math reason. Even if what you're talking about has nothing to do with the mathematical reason you gave, you must be right — you know math!

2. Don Juan savvy — Five dates in five days with just $50? Good thing you learned how to calculate the statistical probability of success with each date, enabling you to budget the perfect amount of time and money on each one. Not to mention the fact you'll impress your date by calculating an exact 15 percent tip. Now that's sexy.
1. The "Nerd Factor" — The intangible sense of "cool" those who study and understand math seem to possess. A slight hint of nasality to the laugh, small graphite smudges on the sides of the hand and a sense of humor no one else can quite understand. Doors seem to open for people who have, as I like to call it, the NF.

This prompted Knopp to create the agreement with the Athletics Department, and allowed the KUAC to sell those 1,200 tickets for the next five years, in exchange for better seats at the fieldhouse and funding for the Student Fitness Recreation Center.

Edwards Campus, said changing the tuition rates benefitted the Edwards Campus because it allowed them to offer better academic services.
"The harmonization of tuition assessment makes it possible for more academic programming to be made available to our student base." Clark said.
He said the tuition changes would allow for greater access by residents of the greater Kansas City region to the Edwards Campus' programs.
Clark said a MetroKC grant was offered to students living in the Missouri region. Students officially enrolled in Edwards Campus programs who live in four counties in Missouri adjacent to the state line — Clay, Cass, Jackson and Platte — were eligible to apply for the grant.

"I have to pay fees at both even though I'm here, like, two hours a week," Beeson said.
Students at Edwards pay a $40 per credit fee to cover operating expenses and a $15 per credit bond fee to cover the construction bonds that have made the Edwards Campus buildings possible. Shulenburger said fees at the Edwards Campus support the operation of the campus. The Edwards Campus received little state support and, thus, its operations have to be supported by student fees, he said.

Nufer said she received an e-mail from Ann Weick, dean of Social Welfare, yesterday afternoon. In the e-mail, Weick said the administration had looked

Weick said that a decision had been reached yesterday afternoon by Shulenburger that would significantly reduce the cost of nonresident tuition for Nufer and about 20 other students. Weick did not specify the exact details of the decision.

ing 30 years in Colby. Kathy Greenlee, secretary of the Douglas County Democratic Party, said Greathouse was a natural choice for party chairwoman.
"She's calm and fairly unflappable." Greenlee said. "She's always interested in expanding the number of people involved."
GREATHOUSE: Educates others
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Indeed, Greathouse said that was the biggest part of her job as chairwoman.
"It's always hard to get people involved." Greathouse said.
The party needed precinct committee people, as well as people to canvass, do literature drops and distribute yard signs and bumper stickers.
Kathleen Daughey, Topeka junior and president of the KU Young Democrats, meets with Greathouse regularly and coordinates with the county on some events, such as putting out slate
cards with lists of the Democratic candidates.
"She's a wonderful county chair," Daughety said, "She's really efficient at communicating."
Greathouse said it was important for young people to talk about politics and understand how the process works.
"If they care about the country, they'd better get involved," she said.
She said young people needed to educate themselves, and most importantly, talk about politics among themselves.
As she serves out the term she began in 2001 as party chairwoman, Greathouse wants to help make sure that she can help others.
"Government can be a positive force to help people," she said. She said she tried to be involved with that positive force as much as possible.

MILLER: Wants voters increase
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Miller does not need to be reminded that he is the Republican chairman of the only county in Kansas that voted for Democratic presidential nominee Al Gore in 2000.
But all is not lost,he said
"There really a large conservative base here," he said.
To prove his point, he pulled out voter registration records for Douglas County. There are about 20,000 Republicans registered, about 17,000 Democrats and about 18,000 unaffiliated.
"The problem," he said, "is that most of those unaffiliated voters spell D-E-M-O-C-R-A-T."
Richard Todd, treasurer of the Douglas County Republican Party, served with Miller during his two terms as committee chain from 1991-96 and 2000 to now.
"He's an interesting person who really has a lot to offer," Todd said. "He's highly devoted to the job."
Todd said Miller's greatest
accomplishment as chairman was the organization and recruitment of the precinct committees and their leaders during the past 13 years.
"It can be a struggle to get it all done sometimes," Miller said. "There's an awful lot of people putting an awful lot of time into it."
Serving as party chairman made Miller aware of the lack of political participation in this county, and he said he was embarrassed by it.
He said that 11.25 percent of all eligible voters voted in the primary election in Douglas County this year.
As party chairman, he emphasizes involvement by everyone, regardless of political affiliation
"I think it's obscene that we get that kind of voter turnout," he said. "It just makes me mad."
"I can't over-emphasize the importance of people being involved, because without them, it doesn't work," he said.

Airport to celebrate 75 years of service
BY STEPHANIE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
The wheels are on the ground and the plane is navigating down the runway. As the plane elevates, so does your stomach, which begins to churn. All you can feel is air, and the view is bigger than anything you've experienced on the ground.
This Beechcraft Staggerwing D17S will be one of the restored airplanes on display during the Lawrence Municipal Airport's open house Saturday. The open house is in honor of the airport's 75th anniversary.
"It's just entirely different. You just aren't earthbound anymore, that's all," said Delbert Erhart, operations manager for 21 years at the Lawrence Municipal Airport.
On Saturday, the Lawrence Aviation Advisory Board and Hetrick Air Services, Inc., will sponsor an open house at the airport from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. celebrating the 75th anniversary of the airport.
The airport, located at 1930 Airport Road in north Lawrence, was dedicated on Oct.29,1929,with an estimated crowd of 6,000 people attending.
Debbie Van Saun, assistant city manager, said the open house gave some University of Kansas students and Lawrence residents an opportunity to see a facility that they might not see otherwise.
The airport is celebrating the anniversary. Van Saun said, because it is a nice way to commemorate the past and look into the future.
Rick Bryant, aviation board chairman, said the open house included events for everyone.
The morning kicks off with a fly-in breakfast from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. the event is open to the public with adult tickets costing $5 and child tickets $3.
ing 35 and smaller Airplanes, including the KU jet and a World War II German Messerschmitt-109, and aviation businesses, which include the KU department of aerospace engineering, will be on display during the day. The sponsors will give away door prizes.
Helicopter rides will also be available throughout the day for a to be-determined price.
During the years, the airport has played an important role for the University. Kevin Boatright, interim executive vice chancellor for university relations, said the University
could not do all it does with aviation if not for the airport.
The University has two planes - a prop plane and jet at the airport.
Kansas University Endowment Association donated the jet to the University.
The combined usage of the planes for the fiscal year of 2002-2003 was 284 flights. Med Center staff made 173 flights, Athletics Department employees made 43 flights and Chancellor Robert Hemenway flew 14 times.
Boatright said University of Kansas Medical Center staff and physicians used the planes the most.
Boatright said Roy Williams, former men's basketball coach, used the jet to fly back from Los Angeles about the time he made the decision to leave the University.
Other University departments and organizations will show how they use the airport during the anniversary event.
Mark Ewing. aerospace department chairman, said one of the department's hangers would be open on Saturday with displays of its two planes and some helicopters.
Student organizations such as the rocket system development organization, satellite construction group and student model aircraft will also have displays.
The Endowment Association once owned the airport, Van
I was proud of it. afforded me some good memories."
Everett Buhler Co-operator of the Lawrence Municipal Airport
Saun said, but it sold the property to the city for $1. Daryl Beene, senior vice president of the Endowment, said the Endowment sold the airport near 1929.
Beene said it was the town-and-gown spirit of cooperation between the city and the University and always trying to help the city that allowed the airport to be sold for $1.
The airport started out in 1929 with four runways, with improvements starting in 1936. The airport now has only two runways.
Van Saun remembers not visiting the airport until her freshman year of college. Van Saun said she had a friend whose mother flew, and she flew Van Saun and her friend to Wichita.
"I remember it because it was a small plane," Van Saun said. "I can't believe I did that."
The airport is for general aviation, which means the city owns it but leases it to fixed-
base operator Hetrick Air Services, Inc. Private jets and planes use general aviation airports.
The airport does not deal with charter or commercial flights. Van Saun said the airport handled about 30,000 operations - arrivals and departures - every year, averaging 100 operations per day.
The airport and its users have experienced changes over the years. Erhart, former owner of Erhart Flying Service, remembers when the airport gave penny-a-pound rides, where if you weighed 150 pounds you would pay $1.50 to ride in the plane.
Erhart said he loved aviation, but had to retire from it because of health reasons.
"I dream about it a lot.
Erhard said.
Erhart said he would wake up the morning after dreaming about being airport manager again or handling another operation.
One of Erhart's favorite things to do, he said, was to go up in a plane right after it had snowed when everything was still white.
It has been about 45 years since Everett Buhler, co-operator of the airport from Dec. 31, 1945, to 1947, flew a plane, but he can still remember what it feels like to fly.
"It's a release from being ground-bound." Buhler said.
Buhler, who operated the
airport when the runways were made out of cinder — a hard ash-like substance left over from burned coal — and not concrete, said he left aviation because he could not afford the financial burden anymore.
Buhler said a lot of his flight students were covered under the GI Bill, which meant the government paid for the students' flying lessons.
However, Buhler said, the government was often behind in their payments to him by as much as seven or eight months.
"I love to fly," Buhler said. "And I had a lot of enjoyment flying, but I had to make a living for a family and flying wasn't part of making a living at that time." Buhler said.
Buhler, who is 85 years old, remembered one night he and his wife of 63 years, Helen, ate dinner out at the American Legion.
Legion.
A child named Hank came up to him and asked if he was Everett Buhler. Buhler told him that, yes, he was.
Hank looked at him and said Buhler had taught him how to fly.
"It if hadn't been for the financial burden of the airport at the time, I may have been in it forever, for all I know," Buhler said. "I had a part of that airport out there, and I was proud of it. It afforded me some good memories."

Football position up for grabs, new and former players compete

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Editor's Note: As the Kansas football team prepares for its season opener against Tulsa on Sept. 4, sportswriters Ryan Colaiani and Jonathan Kealing will be taking a position-by-position look at the team's depth chart. A position breakdown will appear every day leading up to the game.
Clark Green is certainly no stranger to competition. Each year he has faced stiff competition for the Jayhawks' starting running back spot, yet throughout his collegiate career he has received it.
This season is no different, as the Tampa, Fla., junior once again is challenged for the job by sophomore John Randle.
"It's been making me better ever since I have been here," Green said of having to fight for his spot. "I have had competition ever since I was a freshman. There is going to be competition when I leave, and when I am here; it is just going to make all of us better."
This year, the team features several new contributors that will also push Green and Randle, making for a crowded backfield.
"We don't have enough footballs for the running backs that we have," coach Mark Mangino said. Green and Randle are joined by sophomore Jon Cornish and freshman Gary Green II, who are both fighting to be part of the mix.
Clark Green will likely see the most playing time again, this season. He began his career with a bang when he earned the starting job as a redshirt freshman. During that season, Green led the team with 813 yards. He also broke the school record for receptions by a running back with 37. Last
year, challenged by Randle, he broke his own record by catching 44 balls. Green improved on his rushing totals last year, as well, rushing for 968 yards.
Junior Clark Green and sophomore John Randle are the top two runningbacks on the depth chart. The pair will be joined by sophomore Jon Cornish and freshman Gary Green II, who will also fight for playing time this season.
well, he wants me to go.
"I think Clark Green is a person that outside of our program maybe has been taken for granted a little bit," Mangino said. "He put up some great numbers last year, yet we spelled him sometimes with Iohn Randle."
John Randle will likely be the first to back up Green again this season. Randle ran for 503 yards on just 88 carries last year. Randle, like Green, has the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield.
catch the bulb out of the fire." "John Randle is having a very good camp," Mangino said. "He is more explosive than he has been at any point. He has only been here two years, but when you compare him as a freshman and now, he is stronger and more explosive than what he was a year ago."
Randle may have to sit out against Tulsa because of off-the-field problems, such as being arrested last year. Mangino has not announced how much time Randle might miss. At first he thought that Randle might miss the entire game against Tulsa, but he said RANDLE had been doing the right thing and the suspension might be lessened to a few quarters of action.
If it were not for Randle's performance on the field last year, Green would have easily broken the 1,000-yard plateau. Green still could eclipse that milestone this year, even if Randle gets the amount of carries he received last year. The duo have different running styles. Green is more of a power running back, who is able to run up the middle and plow through hits, while Randle is faster, enabling him to burn defenders.

Robinson could give Miles rest

KANSAN SPORTSWITER
Russell Robinson, freshman guard, will vie for the backup point guard position this season and try to give Aaron Miles a break. Robinson also said he wanted to be a driving force in preseason workouts.
Editor's Note: Bill Self's first recruiting class at Kansas has been highly touted. Kansan sportswriter Jesse Newell will profile each of this year's freshmen as they prepare for their first game as Jayhawks on Sept. 4 in Vancouver, Canada.
"I asked him what his goals were this year, and I've never heard anyone say it, but he said, 'My goal is that I'm a sophomore by December.'" Self said. "What he meant was obviously that he understands and has a feel for everything going on and has gotten through the freshman things. That's a pretty good goal for a guard."
The Jayhawks will need Robinson to grow up quickly, as the 6-foot-1
Coach Bill Self had asked the same question hundreds of times to hundreds of players, but he had never heard an answer quite like Russell Robinson's.
point guard represents the most likely backup for senior Aaron Miles.
Robinson said his self-made goal would be the driving force in early-season workouts.
"I'm going to use that as my motivation," Robinson said. "That's going to motivate me every day in practice and every day in Canada. I'll just try not to let coach down."
In last year's 79-71 NCAA Tournament loss to Georgia Tech, Miles played 43 of the 45 minutes, wearing down late in the game.
Self won't be let down if Robinson can give Miles even a few minutes of rest at the point-guard position.
Not only will he attempt to give Miles some rest, he will also try to work toward the starting position for next year's team.
Robinson said he could give Miles a much-needed break.
"If I can help this team," Robinson said, "I think he'd be glad to give up some of his playing time."
His teammate is helping him out.
"I'll just try to be a positive influ
ence on him," Miles said, "because when a couple of us seniors are gone, he's going to be a leader."
Robinson will have to win the backup point-guard position over junior guard Jeff Hawkins and sophomores Nick Bahe and Jeremy Case, but Self has pointed him out as the early favorite.
"I think there will be some competition for Russell," Self said, "but I also think he's got a chance to be a really good guard here at Kansas."
From Rice High School in New York City, Robinson will look to renew an East Coast interest in the Jayhawk program.
Former Kansas coach Roy Williams recruited sparingly east of the Mississippi River to avoid competing against schools such as Kentucky, Duke and North Carolina for potential players.

Rules keep Hawks from tournament

Basketball team opts out of Coaches versus Cancer games
The Kansas men's basketball team will step foot on Canadian soil during Labor Day weekend. For the players, it will be a matter of packing a bag, boarding a plane and shooting some hoops. But University Athletics Department officials had to jump through hoops of their own to make sure the trip complied with the complex NCAA rulebook.
The NCAA outlines strict regulations regarding teams participating in preseason tours and exempt events, which are additional tournaments added to a team's regular season schedule, said Larry Keating, senior associate athletics director. Such tournaments include the Maul Invitational, the Preseason NIT and the Coaches versus Cancer Tournament.
Bylaw 30.7 of the NCAA rules said that a team can participate in a foreign tour once every four years, said Terry Hines, associate athletics director for compliance and legal affairs.
NCAA rules also said that a team can participate in an exempt event twice
every four years. But a team cannot participate in a preseason exhibition tour during the same year that it schedules an exempt event.
At the beginning of the year, event operators challenged the NCAA rule that restricted teams to an exempt event only twice every four years. Event operators are in favor of allowing a team to participate in such an event every year because it is better for their business, Keating said. The challenge made it to the district court, which ruled in favor of the event operators. However, the NCAA challenged that ruling. The NCAA's case was heard in February, but Keating said the judge had not yet issued a ruling.
Originally the team was scheduled to
participate in the Coaches versus Cancer Tournament, an exempt event scheduled for the second weekend in November. Keating said this tournament was drawn up to consist of 16 teams — four teams would serve as host teams and would play on their campuses, and three additional teams would play at each site. Kansas, Duke, Syracuse and California were scheduled to be the host sites. Kansas would have played at home Nov. 11 and 12. Each site would have a bracket-style playoff, and the winner of each site would advance to play at Madison Square Garden in New York City the following weekend.

Olympic team needs golden dreams
The dream is over.
After 12 years of NBA players dominating Olympic basketball, visions of 1992's epic Dream Team are all but distant memories.
Even after a 102-94 victory over Spain in the quarterfinals, the U.S. men's basketball team is at its lowest point ever. True, Team USA is only two victories away from another gold medal, but the way this team has played lately, that finish seems as improbable as the 1988 Jayhawks' national title run coached by current U.S. Olympic team coach, Larry Brown.
Why is a golden finish unlikely for the 2004 roster of NBA Americans? The answer is in the embarrassing basketball already shown by Allen — "The Answer" — Iverson and the other players.
Strike one was a 92-73 preliminary round loss to Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico? Are you serious? It is a U.S. commonwealth! Losing to the Puerto Ricans is like Kansas losing to Fort Hays State
Strike two came later in preliminary play against a tougher foe, but the loss was still a damaging blow to U.S. hoops. Lithuania came out on top 94-90 in a game initially controlled by the Americans, who collapsed late in the fourth quarter.
While NBA players fumbled a game in its most important stages, Lithuania's Sarunas Jasikevicius, an undrafted and unsigned former Maryland player, torched the American defense with his 28 points.
Strike three is only a matter of time
for being so tall. It is not that young stars like LeBron, Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade are not talented. They certainly are but simply do not belong on the U.S. Olympic roster.
On Thursday, LeBron James said he did not think it was a failure if Team USA did not bring home the gold. Since when does American basketball settle for being second best?
After cutting out many talented players, the remaining team still has stars, but it is not a real team. There are five small forwards. There is no back-up point guard. The team banks jumpers off the side of the backboard and plays lazy defense.
Some of the best players — Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett and Cole Bryant
No one on this year's team should be there.
Strike three is only a matter of time. Gone are the days of Team USA drawing the best American talent. During the past 12 years, the Dream Team has eroded into a poorly constructed roster of overpaid marketing plovs.
Sure, it was fun for a while to put NBA all-star teams on the court against nations like Cuba and Angola, but the novelty has worn off. Even American fans are booing our team.
all turned down offers to play in order to build a new house, get married and stand trial in Eagle, Colo., respectively. A score of other players turned down invitations because of security concern
The only way to solve this problem is to field a team that wants to be there, plays together well and is not depleted after the demands of an 82-game NBA season.
We need a team of undrafted college stars, such as Jeff Boschee, who are available to practice year-round and are used to international play.
Slapping together a patchwork line-up of players that resembles a Nike ad more than a team is lazy and no longer entertaining.
The dream is over, and it is time for Team USA to wake up.

A saving swing

Rams look to rectify dismal preseason
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST.LOUIS - Don't tell Marc Bulger the NFL preseason is too long or doesn't matter.
Coming off an "embarrassing" 24-7 exhibition loss Monday night at Kansas City, the St. Louis Rams quarterback embraces having two more preseason games to get the reigning NFC West champions to some blance of regular-season form.
battle of regular teams.
"That's the only good thing that came out of the other night," Bulger said while the Rams (0-2) prepared for Friday night's home preseason game against the Washington Redskins (2-1).
"This way we can learn from our mistakes. I know it doesn't look good right now, and we're not performing well. But we have faith in each other, and we're not panicking by any stretch of the imagination."
In their two preseason losses, the
Rams have mustered just 13 points, with a patchwork offensive line offering little relief for Bulger. The Chiefs registered five sacks and relentless pressure on Rams quarterbacks.
In his first NFL season as the Rams' undisputed starting quarterback, Bulger perhaps knows better than to single out for criticism the beefy linemen between he and defenders. But he knows things have to improve quickly.
"It's not a lack of effort. We have to focus a little more. We have a lot of pride in there. Whether it's preseason or not, it'd be nice to perform well."
He said, "The bottom line is if we had 10 plays we should be able to score, and we're not executing right now.
And it'd be nice to have a healthy offensive line. Five-time Pro Bowl tackle Orlando Pace continues to be a holdout. Right tackle Kyle Turley remains out with a back injury, and his return is unclean. Backup tackle
Grant Williams played Monday despite an ankle injury. And St. Louis cut center Dave Wohlabaugh because of a hip injury.
Things appear so dire that coach Mike Martz lured two veteran offensive lineman — Chris Dishman and Tom Nutten — out of retirement. Martz said both were rounding into shape.
At 354 pounds, Dishman is 20 pounds lighter than when he first arrived in Rams camp two weeks ago. He admits, "I'm slow moving off the ball a little more than I'm used to, and I think that has to do with being overweight."
And along come the Redskins, fresh from their 17-0 feasting on the offensively challenged Miami Dolphins last weekend.
Washington held the Dolphins to just five first downs — none in the second half — and only 98 yards of offense. Washington controlled the ball for 41 minutes and rolled up 181
vards on the ground.
As on the ground,
Mark Brunell, acquired in an off-season trade to challenge incumbent Patrick Ramsey for the starting job, played four series and led touchdown drives of 63 and 43 yards. He finished 7-for-9 for 79 yards.
Ramsey, who was 3-for-8 for 41 yards, said he was taking the competition in stride.
"Mark and I are as close as I ever expected to be," Ramsey said. "The only time you really consider this being a controversy is when it's a situation where someone is upset over it."
"I don't worry about us coexisting. I've competed with guys that I didn't get along with as well as I get along with him. I'm surprised we've become as close as we have."
Ramsey gets the start against the Rams, and Redskins coach Joe Gibbs said he wouldn't decide until at least next week who will be under center when the regular season starts.
Marbury leads Americans past Spain, into semifinal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS, Greece - Larry Brown was right. The Americans did eventually start hitting their jump shots.
Stephon Marbury set a U.S. Olympic record with 31 points, and the team that spent the first week and a half of the Athens Games missing jumpers finally found its range in a 102-94 victory against Spain in the quarterfinals Thursday.
The Americans made 12 3-pointers and knocked the previously undefeated Spaniards out of medal contention with their best all-around performance of the Olympics.
Marbury broke the U.S. record of
30 points shared by Charles Barkley (1992 vs. Brazil) and Adrian Dantley (1976 vs. Yugoslavia).
As the teams left the court, Brown and Spain coach Mario Pesquera were pointing angrily at each other and had to be separated by their assistants.
Allen Iverson added 16 points, Carlos Boozer had 12 and Lamar Odom 11 for the Americans, who advanced to the semifinal against Argentina.
Pau Gasol led Spain with 29 points but was held to just four in the fourth quarter by a tenacious American defensive effort.
Duncan scored the Americans' first
five points and blocked Spain's first shot, but he was on the bench just 4 1/2 minutes into the quarter and stayed there for the rest of the half after picking up two fouls. The U.S. team made four of its first five 3-point attempts, and the first quarter ended in a 25-25 tie.
In a seesaw second quarter, the Americans went ahead by eight points, feeding off the defensive energy of Dwyane Wade. The United States led 44-43 at halftime despite giving up 18 points to Casol and being called for 14 fouls.
Marbury hit a pair of 3s early in the third quarter, and Brown left Duncan in after he picked up his third foul
pionter. A 7-0 run by Spain tied the game, but Carmelo Anthony ended the quarter with a 3-pointer to give the Americans a 74-67 lead.
with 5:22 left. Marbury reached 21 points — matching his total from the Americans' first five games — on a 3-pointer.
Odom drew his fifth and final foul with 5:29 left and the Americans ahead 80-73, and it was 82-78 when Marbury hit the team's 12th 3-pointer. Duncan's putback increased the lead to 87-78.
The Americans made seven straight free throws to stay comfortably ahead after Spain started intentionally fouling.

NFL star's odd behavior continues
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAVIE, Fla. — Ricky Williams phoned the Miami Dolphins this week, but said his next destination will be India, not a return to the NFL.
The retired running back contacted coach Dave Wannstedt several days ago, sources close to the coach said yesterday. But Williams told The Miami Herald he had no plans to come back anytime soon.
His conversation with Wannstedt was their first since Williams called

one week before training camp with the stunning news he was retiring.
A letter the Dolphins sent Williams last week seeking to recoup $8.6 million in bonuses paid to him prompted the latest call.
"I didn't call them to see if I could come back. I was just causing a conversation to happen." Williams told the Herald from Australia. "They sent me the letter and (my agent) told me it's in my best interests to call them."
Even if the 27-year-old Williams wanted to return, he faces a suspension for the entire 2004 season for violating the NFL drug policy. He has acknowledged testing positive for marijuana three times.
His latest reasons for retiring, including a workload he considered excessive. annoyed ex-teammates.
Williams said he planed to travel to India soon for a couple of months.
"He's acting like a bitter girlfriend," defensive tackle Larry Chester said. "He's just lashing out. I don't think anyone should pay attention to him
"It's not in my best interests to play football right now," he said.
Williams' agent didn't return calls seeking comment. Wannstedt and Dolphins general manager Rick Spielman declined to discuss the latest development in the Williams saga.

Campus whipping boy Ryan Greene led this game last year for those of you who do not remember, were not in Lawrence or drank your way through fall 2003. Greene performed well enough, but certainly didn't kick with perfection. My goal this year: nothing short of perfection.
SPORTS COMMENTARY
JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
Well, how about one weekend of perfection? Or maybe a couple 12-15. At any rate, The teams I pick might give you a chance to pick an upset or two.
The process will be the same as last year. On Mondays, you will cut out the Kick the Kansan clipping from The University Daily Kansan. Pick the winners of the 13 chosen games, (oh yes, eager reader, that is a change from last year) and then turn in the picks by noon Thursday. Picks will be collected in the
Kansan newsroom, 111 Stauffer-Flint Hall. For those not fortunate enough to spend a good portion of your life in its friendly confines, Stauffer-Flint is between Watson Library and Wescoe Hall.
On Friday, the Kansan will feature my brilliant choices for champions and chumps. Pick more victories than me, and you will win a Kick the Kansan T-shirt as well as gift certificates for merchandise, meals and whatever else those hard-working promo people can rustle up.
Now, the part you've been waiting for. Below are the criteria I will follow each week in selecting what teams will deliver me to victory over you readers.
1. Kansas vs. its opponent — One of two constants on the list, I thought it was important to feature the home team.
2. Ohio State vs. its opponent — All right, all right, simmer down now. A very good friend of mine from back home practically begged me to include them in this game. Little does he know. I will get great pleasure in regularly picking against the Buckeyes.
3-8. One match up from each of the BCS conferences — As these conferences are supposed to represent the best college football, it seems appropriate that they will provide at least one good game per week. BCS conferences include the Big 12, Big Ten, Big East, Pac-10, SEC and ACC.
9-11. My next three favorite Big 12 matchups — Those of you who are counting will note Kansas is a Big 12 team and an automatic game each week. My favorite Big 12 game will be featured in the BCS section.
Therefore, we can run the next-best three games leaving us with no more than one Big 12 game missing when conference play begins. Surely a Baylor beating can be ignored.
Well, we've come to the end. Reader, please take no offense from my jesting comments. I am not the second coming of Ryan Greene, but rather just one man trying to amuse himself as he goes through the weeks and months here on campus.
13. Unlucky number 13 Will this prove to be my undoing this year? The thirteenth choice is my opportunity to introduce everyone to the world of Division III football. Whether it's my hometown school of Washington University or perhaps some other school I have not even identified, these should prove interesting games to try and interpret.
12. A mid-major game — Mid-major conferences are those not included in the BCS. Whether it's the Sunbelt, the MAAC or the WAC, one of these games deserves to be highlighted in the pages of the Kansan.
If you're lucky enough to win
Good luck to one and all. This should be fun. If ever you see me in a bar or at a party somewhere around town, please say hello. I want to be the kinder, gentler replacement of Greene.
If you're lucky enough to win — OK, luck may not be at all necessary — I look forward to sitting down with you and finding the method by which you beat me. Selected winners will be featured ir a column on Mondays.

ROBINSON: Freshman starting to adjust to life in the Midwest
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Robinson's new teammate, freshman forward Alex Galindo, played high school ball at St. Benedict's Prep in Newark, N.J.
Robinson, however, is the first Kansas player since Terry Brown in 1990 to come from the state of New York.
"I'm just trying to start a trend, and hopefully more East Coast players will come," Robinson said. "I just want to start winning championships and try to be the best player I can be here at KU."
At first reluctant to make the long trip to the Midwest, Robinson said he has started to adjust to life in Kansas.
"I've found out that people here are really friendly," Robinson said. "In the time that I've been here, I've just tried to fit in the best that I can."
"I'm just trying to start a trend, and
hopefully more East Coast players will come. I just want to start winning championships and try to be the best player I can be here at KU."

A daunting task for a freshman, so Robinson looks forward to becoming a sophomore — by December.

PRESEASON: Tour valuable to new players, offers more practice
"The three teams that would join the host teams would have been weaker teams," Keating said. "So the idea was to have the four host teams advance to Madison Square Garden."
Kansas opted out of Coaches versus Cancer Tournament two months ago, Keating said, because the ruling on the NCAA's appeal had not yet come from the judge. Because the team has a contract to play in the Maill Invitational Tournament next year, if the judge ruled in favor of the NCAA's challenge, the team would not be allowed to play in both.
"If we would have stuck with the Coaches versus Cancer Tournament, and the ruling wouldn't have come down in favor of a team being able to play in an exempt event every year, we would not have been able to play in any additional tournament next year." Keating said.
He said that the team wanted to take advantage of all possible scheduling options, so instead of
"I am more concerned about getting
to practice than I am to the games. We will focus on the meat and potatoes of what we are going to do this year so that when we go out there in October we are five or 10 days ahead."
Bill Self Kansas coach
banking on an unknown ruling, it looked to schedule a preseason exhibition tour.
"It was an easy decision," Keating said. "We have a contract with the Maui Invitational that was signed about five years ago, and we didn't even have a contract with Coaches versus Cancer, and we had an option
to do the tour."
He said they couldn't have waited on the decision and still planned a preseason exhibition tour.
"The tour will be valuable to us this year because of the young guys," Keating said. "Some years it is not as valuable, but this will help us in many ways."
Self said that this year was a good year to schedule a preseason tour because there are five freshmen on this year's team.
The players said they were excited about the opportunity to get a head start on the season. The veteran players said it was a good opportunity for the young guys to familiarize themselves with a new system.
"We're going to try to see how the young players fit in," Self said.
"It is good to get everybody together and figure things out and pick up ahead of the pack," said Mike Lee, senior forward. "We just want everyone to learn the basics."
With J.R. Giddens, Keith
Landford and Wayne Simien
recovering from offseason injuries, Self said these extra practices would also be a good time for the veterans to evaluate their progress. The players agreed.
"It is the perfect opportunity to see if I need to re-evaluate if I'm ready," said Keith Langford, senior guard. "I am going to try to go all out."
In addition to the four games, the team will be allowed 10 practices to prepare for the tour. Self said that he was most excited about getting the extra practice time.
"I am more concerned about getting to practice than I am the games," Self said. "We will focus on the meat and potatoes of what we are going to do this year so that when we go out there in October we are five or 10 days ahead."
NCAA rules allow a team to practice a maximum of four hours a day, but not more than 20 hours a week. Additionally, the NCAA requires that the players be given a day off of practice each week.

Today's Birthday (Aug. 27). You're good at taking care of others, but this year you need to practice getting machinery to do the job for you. The more you automate, the better you'll be able to serve.
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Today is a 6.
Commitments you make for the next few days are liable to stick, so take care. Don't promise to do something you have no real intention of doing. You'd lose.
HOROSCOPES
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
You want to accomplish great things, but you may occasionally feel as if you're dragging an anchor that's slowing you down. That actually could be the case. Look around.
Today is an 8.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6.
You're probably wishing that you could get away for a little while. There's something important you mustn't forget before you run off. Do it first.
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
Today is an 8.
The challenge that's next on your list has to do with keeping money safe. It might be yours, or somebody else's, or both. Postpone your shopping trip.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22).
Today is a 6.
Just when you think you'll never get done, a person with the skills you lack stops by to lend a hand. Accept.
Today is a 9.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
While others get ready to take time off, you're getting ready to work. If you're doing a job that furthers your goals, that's just as it should be.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22).
Today is a 6.
Today is a 8 After a bit more fussing around, you'll find your environment gets a whole lot more comfortable. Plan a celebration.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Fixing up your own place takes skill, energy and planning. If
you're facing a major challenge, two out of three aren't bad. Do your best with what you have.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
Today is a 6.
Your interest is"changing soon, from what you have to what you know. A new interest fascinates but leaves you asking more questions.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is a 7
today is a 7.
If you don't already have the answer, you can find it out. Use not only what you've read but also another's experience.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Today is a 6.
Learn from a painful situation that took place long ago, and you'll become a stronger leader as a result. You're more confident.
Today is a 7.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
You have vivid dreams, but your fears can get quite vivid, too. How to suppress the bad and draw out the good? Prayer seems to help a lot.

Soccer team plans to meet, score goals this season
Courtnev Kuhlen/KANSAN
BY KELLI ROBINNET
krobinet@kansan.com
KROBINET SPORTSWITER
YA
Stacy Leeper dribbled the ball yesterday during practice at Ray Evans Field in Anschutz Sports Pavillion.
Expectations are higher than ever for the Kansas women's soccer team as it begins the regular season tomorrow at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.
The future looks bright for the soccer squad. The team is ranked 11th in the nation and will look to improve on last year's 42-20-3 season, the best in school history.
last year Kansas qualified for the NCAA Tournament for only the second time and posted a record of 18-6-1 in the tournament. The team won its first tournament game against Illinois State and then advanced to its first-ever Sweet 16 by defeating rival Missouri 2-0.
Missouri 24.
The Jayhawks return nine of last year's starters and 16 letter winners overall. Big 12 coaches named two players, Holly Gault and Caroline Smith, to the preseason all Big 12 team. Smith is also a nominee for national soccer player of the year. Smith returns as the teams leading scorer, and will be the focal point on offense. Senior defender Stacy Leeper and senior goalie Meghan Miller will join Gault to anchor the defense.
New freshmen and transfers also join the team. Coach Mark Francis said every new player would compete with the returning players for playing time. Even with experienced talent returning and high expectations, the Big 12 coaches picked Kansas to finish fifth in the conference. But that doesn't bother Francis.
"I don't pay much attention to those polls," Francis said. "Last year they picked us to finish seventh, and we came in third."
It will not be easy for Kansas to improve on last year's finish. The Big 12 is difficult this year. Four other conference teams — Texas, Texas A&M, Colorado and Nebraska — also enter the year ranked in the preseason top 25. Three of those teams — Texas,
Texas A&M and Colorado — are on the team's schedule.
"I think everyone in the Big 12 will be better this year," said Francis. "Every game is going to be tough."

Ex-president files contract suit against University
uite C
BY ANDY HYLAND
ahyland@kansan.com
ahyland STAFF WRITER
www.kansan.com
Fred B. Williams, the former president of the KU Alumni Association who was fired in May, is suing the University for more than $2.2 million dollars for a breach of contract, said Roger Stanton, Williams' attorney.
Williams, 58, served as the association's president and chief executive officer since 1983 and was under contract until June 2008.
Stanton said Williams' contract provided he be paid three years' salary if he was terminated, and four years' salary if no notice was given before the termination.
Alumni association executive board members failed to give him the notice, and they did not give him the money provided in the contract, Stanton said.
"I don't think that' s quite fair," Stanton said. "I think a jury will think the same way, so we're going to give them a chance to hear it."
them a chance to hear it. Williams filed his lawsuit last Thursday in Douglas County District Court. The suit claims breach of contract, defamation and false impression Williams had embezzled from the group.
group. Stanton said the association listed varied reasons for Williams' firing, such as not being nice enough to employees and being too political with conversations regarding employees. Stanton believes these reasons were not sufficient.
The filing read that firing Williams "abruptly ended and destroyed" his career, according to the Associated Press.
In the documents filed with the suit, the association gave four reasons for firing Williams: alleged failures to supervise his staff, to deal with problems within the association, to follow direction from the executive committee not to disparage University administrators or to retaliate against his staff for the committee's investigation.
Stanton said that he made numerous unsuccessful attempts to settle the case through a mediator.
"He honored the contract and turned down an opportunity to work elsewhere," Stanton said. "They didn't honor their end of the contract."
The lawsuit claim Williams was paid $200,000 a year, received favorable annual reviews and regular salary increases, the lawsuit claims. He was instrumental in the association's success, including a more than 50 percent membership increase.
the lawsuit outlines the costs to the association as $962,000 in salary and projected raises, just more than $490,000 in benefits through the remainder of the contract term and $778 in salary and benefits Williams claims under a wrongful termination clause in the contract.
R. Lawrence Ward, the alumni association's lead attorney on the case, did not immediately return a telephone message left yesterday at his home in Kansas City, Mo.
Stanton said this was not a difficult case, and that he didn't know why the Alumni Association acted the way it did.

The wait is almost over.
The war is almost over.
Starting Sept. 9 or 10, students won't have to eat a soggy sandwich out of their backpacks or make a mad dash to the Kansas Union for lunch. The food court formerly known as Wescoe Terrace will have more substantial lunch choices when it reopens as the Underground at Wescoe.
The renovation, which began last May, will cost more than $1 million when complete. Seating will increase by about 30 percent, and the building will have 2,500 square feet of more space.
Food options at the Underground will include Chick-Fil-A, Pizza Hut, JUMP Asian cuisine, a sushi bar, a deli, a salad bar, a convenience store and a coffee bar.

Tracy Rutler, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student, remembered the hassles

Michael Myers, assistant directoretail of KU Memorial Unions food services, said a primary goal of the design is to increase seating and food area. He said the Underground also is designed for efficiency because lines at Wescoe Terrace were long and crowded.

Flooding main storm concern
BY STEPHANE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAF WRITER
On Monday night the Lawrence Police Department performed 16 water rescues between 7 p.m. and midnight at Wakarusa Drive, 19th, Harper and Harvard Streets. Friday night police were out again and performed 10 rescues beginning at 10 p.m. and ending around midnight.
Police driving through campus last Monday had a different job than keeping the peace — they were trying to get people to go to their basements. But students kept running across campus with no hope of keeping dry, holding a jacket or a shred of newspaper over their heads.
Jennifer King, Dallas senior, said she was watching television on Monday night when she heard the storm and decided to turn to Channel 9 to watch the weather. King said she didn't know what she was going to do until a neighbor called and said King could come to the apartment one level below King's.
KING
"I wasn't taking any chances," King said.
King, who lives at Hanover Place, 15th and Kentucky Streets, said she thought apartment complexes needed to have better shelter for their residents.
King remembered being on the 10th floor of McColum Hall during the tornado that struck Aberdeen Apartments and Townhomes, 27th Street and Wakarusa Drive, two years ago. King said she ran from the 10th floor all the way down to the basement of the hall when the sirens went off.
"For a fire alarm I walk down the stairs, for a tornado I run down the stairs," King said.
People don't take cover immediately when a warning is issued because they want to make their own decisions said Paula Phillips, director of Douglas County emergency management. The primary issue of Monday's storm was the amount of rain gathered in the streets combined with people still driving. Phillips said people needed to avoid driving on streets where the water is moving. It only takes 7-12 inches of moving water to flip a car over.
"Because it's not happening to them, they're going to wait until it does." Phillips said.
Jane Fergus, property manager of Highpointe Apartments at 6th and Iowa Streets, said she and other employees told residents to seek shelter in the complex's clubhouse, which contains a locker room and workout room.
She said some people expected to see a tornado before it hits and would only take action when there was a direct and personal threat to their safety.

He will be visiting classes, assisting a voter registration drive on Wescoe Beach and shaking hands and visiting with students at Mrs. E's, Appellhanz said.
Moore's Republican opponent in the primary, Kris Kobach, is planning a similar campus visit in late September. Corrie Kangas, scheduler for the Kobach campaign, said.

Justin McFarland, Lenexa senior and chair of the KU College Republicans said he didn't think the campus visits would give either candidate an edge over the other but it would be beneficial to come to the University.
"The big advantage is, it introduces them to the students and lets them put a face with the name," he said.

Bone-appetit for German man
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — A German who had his lower jaw cut out because of cancer has enjoyed his first meal in nine years — a bratwurst sandwich — after surgeons grew a new jaw bone in his back muscle and transplanted it to his mouth in what experts call an "ambitious"
According to this week's issue of The Lancet medical journal, the German doctors used a mesh cage, a growth chemical and the patient's own bone marrow, containing stem cells, to create a new jaw bone that fit exactly into the gap left by the cancer surgery.
Tests have not been done
yet to verify whether the bone was created by the blank-slate stem cells and it is too early to tell whether the jaw will function normally in the long term. The operation is the first published report of a whole bone being engineered and incubated inside a patient's body and transplanted.
Stem cells are the master
cells of the body that go on to become every tissue in the body. They are a hot area of research with scientists trying to find ways to prompt them to make desired tissues, and perhaps organs.
The operation was done by Dr. Patrick Warnke, a reconstructive facial surgeon at the University of Kiel in Germany.

Kansas City constructs park as memorial! to young girl
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A small park featuring a pair of white concrete benches and two newly planted trees make up a permanent memorial to an unidentified young girl found beheaded in a nearby wood more than three years ago.
Neighborhood activists, volunteers and city officials unveiled the memorial Saturday.
The park replaces an ad hoc collection of flowers, stuffed animals and other offerings left for the girl, nicknamed "Precious Doe" after her death.
That memorial was dismantled in July after neighbors said it had become run down and an eyesore.
Local television station WDAF helped persuade local businesses to donate the benches and trees while the city donated the park land.
"I would just say the words 'Precious Doe' and they would say 'Yes,'" said anchorwoman and reporter Heather Claybrook. "It's amazing how it touched everybody in this community."
Police are still investigating the girl's killing.
Lawyers attempt to lessen pharmacist's sentencing
Robert Courtney was sentenced in 2002 after pleading guilty to 20 counts of product tampering and adulterating drugs meant for chemotherapy patients. Prosecutors said the scheme, which Courtney admitted lasted almost a decade, might have affected about 98,000 prescriptions for 4,200 patients.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Attorneys for a Kansas City pharmacist in prison for diluting cancer drugs say a recent Supreme Court ruling should invalidate his 30-year sentence.
As part of a plea agreement, Courtney's lawyers approved a sentencing range of between 17 to almost 22 years in prison, but placed a cap of 30 years if the judge found reasons to go beyond that range.
But Courtney's lawyers, J.R. Hobbs and Brian Gaddy, said the U.S. Supreme Court determined in June that judges can base sentences only on factors proven beyond a reasonable doubt before a jury or admitted in a plea agreement.
U. S. District Judge Ortrie Smith went with the 30-year maximum, saying Courtney's admissions of diluting other drugs justified the penalty.
work last week, asking the Supreme Court to throw out Courtney's 30-year sentence and return the case to Kansas City federal court for resentencing.
"The judge in this case could not have imposed the upward departure solely on the facts admitted by (Courtney) at his guilty plea hearing," the lawyers wrote. "The upward departure violates the Sixth Amendment and the rule announced in (the Supreme Court's decision)."
U. S. Attorney Todd Graves said he had seen Courtney's motion but that he was "confident we're on firm footing on this appeal."
The attorneys submitted paper-
The chances for Courtney's appeal are slim. The Supreme Court accepts very few petitions every year, but the legal community's desire for the Supreme Court to clarify its sentencing ruling could make the motion more attractive.
The court has already agreed to hear two cases in October to help explain whether federal sentencing guidelines follow the Constitution
Courtney's lawyers said their client, while he admitted to diluting additional drugs, never admitted that that caused "serious bodily injury," which they said must be proven in court for the federal offense of product tampering.

Ashlee Green, Wichita junior, holds up a greek letter as she waits for her group to file into the Kansas Ballroom for the University's Greek Orientation. There were 29 groups consisting of students from different chapters. Organizers said it was a good way for new students to get involved and meet different people.

Wearing T-shirts that read "No matter the letter, we're all Greek together," the PANhellenic and Interfraternity Council Executive Boards checked in between 500 and 600 new members for Greek Orientation on Saturday at the Kansas Union.
Kim said he did not have the same opportunity as a fee.
This year marks the second Greek Orientation at the University of Kansas. The new fraternity and sorority members learned about the four pillars or the Greek Community: leadership, friendship, scholarship and service, said Andy Kim, IFC vice president and Shawnee senior.
same opportunity as a freshman.
"I didn't really know what was going on," he said. "I just heard through word-of-mouth."
New members listened to guest speakers from the Freshman Sophomore Advising Center, the KU Writing Center and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. With St. Jude, IFC and Panhellenic organize "Up 'Til Dawn," a program that raises money for the hospital.
Laura Cripple, coordinator for fraternity and sorority life, said based on feedback she received, new members benefitted most from guest speaker Paul Vitalte.
"He got them really fired up
and ready to address their uncertainties," Cripple said. "They're ready to go out and be leaders not just in their chapters but throughout the KU community."
Vitale began by borrowing a pair of flip-flops and a headband from a fraternity member in the front row of the packed Kansas Ballroom. He said all members should be aware of their influences, whether in dress or in leadership.
He also said he wanted them all to become leaders throughout the University, not just the Greek community.
"You are the people who are about to make a tremendous difference on this campus," said Vitalte, author of Are You Puzzled by the Puzzle of Life and former president of his Sigma Tau Gamma chapter.
Cripple said the new members seemed guarded at first, but loosened up through team-building activities.She said the executive boards intentionally split up the groups so they would include members from different chapters.
"New members got an opportunity to get involved and meet new people in a non-alcoholic setting," Kim said.

Agriculture Department sued for discrimination
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — Two black farmers are suing the Agriculture Department, claiming the agency has discriminated against them by failing to live up to a deal to give them access to federal loans and subsidies.
Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Vernon Parker was appointed by President Bush to straighten out the agency's civil rights office.
But James Myart Jr., the civil rights attorney behind the law-suits, calls Parker a "joke" among black farmers.
"Vernon Parker is the most powerful black man in the Bush Administration — that is because he has power of the pen and government's checkbook to resolve the problem." Myart said.
Parker said Secretary of State Colin Powell and several other blacks now in the Bush Administration are far more
powerful.
"I have family members who suffered discrimination. I suffered discrimination as a child. I have a very keep sense of fairness. One of the worst things we can do is find and create discrimination where there isn't because it creates an environment when there is true discrimination that people don't stand up and listen." Parker said.
Tom Burrell, president of the Black Farmers and Agriculturalists Association, said people who lost
land to the Confederacy during the Civil War persuaded Andrew Johnson to renge on the promise of 40 acres and a mule, and that legacy continues.
But the newly released 2002 Census of Agriculture shows growing diversity among the nation's 2.12 million farms.
The ranks of white farmers fell from 2.15 million in 1997 to 2.06 million in 2002. During the same time, the number of black farmers grew from 26,785 to 29,145.
A report released last month by the Environmental Working Group and the National Black Farmers found that thousands of black farmers have been denied payment under a settlement of bias complaints against the Agriculture Department.
Department. That settlement was one of the nation's largest civil rights cases, aimed at resolving a 1997 lawsuit by black farmers who claimed they were denied federal loans and subsidies because of their race.
Parks seeking additional revenue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The department is counting on user fees to pay for its operations. But the state's lakes are seeing fewer visitors these days.
HUTCHINSON — This summer's cool weather couldn't have come at a worse time for the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.
"It has been slower this year," said Rick Martin, manager of Kanopolis State Park. "Everyone likes the cooler weather we have had, but when it comes to camping, skiing, boating, everyone likes hotter weather.
Officials are asking lawmakers for an additional $600,000 to keep the department from slipping into the red at the end of the year.
Three years ago, the department received $4.5 million from the state general fund and once could count on the state for all of its funding. Now, it receives $3 million from the general fund and receives only 12 percent of its total budget from the state.
"They've told us that in the next few years, we need to be prepared to be on our own," said Jerry Hover, director of state parks.
Former Gov. Mike Hayden in January convened a revenue task force to map the department's financial future.
The group last week presented some of their ideas, including a plan to add a $4.50 fee to motor vehicle registrations for parks operations and outdoor recreation grant programs.
Hover said he also plans to increase the price of in-season vehicle permits to parks by $5 — raising the cost to $50 — and adding $5 to the cost of reserving key campsites.

EDITORIAL
Entrance barriers hinder international students
Heavy-handed security and a new, inhospitable American image are complicating the flow of foreign students into U.S. higher education. As the semester begins, attention should be paid to those students who, despite their best efforts, have not made it onto campus: international students who bring sizable amounts of out-of-state tuition, diversity and expertise, among other things.
According to National Public Radio commentary on Aug. 15, applications from foreign students to U.S. universities have declined by nearly one-third. Joe Potts, director of international student and scholar services, said the University of Kansas is no exception and is experiencing decreased numbers in international applications and orientation.
Of course, security concerns may be expected to trump this sacrifice and justify the bureaucracy that keeps out "dangerous" students simply hoping to acquire a chance at success. The same hyper-nationalist politicians who fancy the United States as the city upon a hill — a beacon of knowledge, freedom and success — have ironically decided to score points by turning the hill into a fortress.
U. S. officials must not understand the value of educational exchange. Other targets for international terrorism: Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom have well-coordinated national efforts to recruit top foreign students. Institutions in the United States are left to fend for themselves in increasingly competitive recruitment efforts.
Paranoia, not prudence, is what characterizes the current level of alert. It is true that three Sept. 11 hijackers violated their student visa terms. Completely open borders would clearly be a bad idea. But the senators from both parties who
proposed a six-month moratorium on the issuance of student visas have mistakenly categorized all foreign students as enemies, taking a truly and ironically dangerous position given what these students bring to universities across the country.
Foreign students are, quite literally, assets rather than enemies, and the United States should rally organized support to bring more. Always paying out-of-state tuition, these international students subsidize education for Americans. They make up approximately one-fifth of nonresident students enrolled fulltime at the University. They fill University coffers that, in turn, hire talented professors and fund important research and scholarships.
Culturally, foreign students are valuable. Campususes lacking diversity, especially those in white-bred states such as Kansas, may have few other options when it comes to including students with experiences representative of a world in which more than 95 percent of people are not Americans.
Indeed, Americans accrue much knowledge from these international students. Students learn from their experience and University research staffs profit from their expertise. Many graduate programs simply could not operate without foreign students filling classrooms, assisting with research and teaching undergraduates.
Ambitious politicians and bureaucrats could be content with new tracking and profiling systems already in place; no need to squander the benefits of educational exchange. Their fear of all things foreign ought not take security too far, forcing innocent foreign students to give up their American dream and academic opportunity. In the process that dream may very well be sacrificed for Americans.

Kline's concerns hit wrong note
Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline is walking a fine line between censor and control freak.
GUEST COLUMN
Kline pulled albums from 33 musical artists, including Lou Reed, OutKast, Stone Temple Pilots and Wyclef Jean, out of CDs intended for Kansas public libraries. Kline said he exercised discernment and didn't promote violence and racism and misogyny in rejecting the album titles, which were provided to Kansas in a consumer protection lawsuit. Kline's censorship of songs that include violence, sexism and racism may find approval from Kansans who hate rap, but how would they feel if Kline had chucked tunes that were anti-Bush or pro-choice?
GUEST COLUMN
The real issue is free expression, and whether Kline can decide what messages are appropriate for citizens to get from their public libraries. The CDs won in the lawsuit against the recording industry are the property of Kansans. They were not meant to join the squeaky-clean Partridge Family, Tom Jones and Kathie Lee Gifford albums that could be in Phill Kline's personal collection.
If libraries want to buy and lend out albums he removed from the shipments, such as Cypress Hill's "Live at the Fillmore," they can do so, Kline says, but they'll have to pay for the album on their own. The scariest part of this is that some public library employees approve of Kline's censorship.
An official of the Kansas Library Association, which advocates for public libraries, was quoted in an Associated Press story as saying it didn't have a problem with Kline's actions. If the people who are supposed to protect the public's free-speech rights don't, who will?
LOUISE STAUFFER
opinion@kansan.com
When Kline became attorney general, he swore to defend the state and U.S. constitutions, which both state government can't abridge freedom of expression. Whether a song is singing about blue skies or killing a cop, it doesn't matter, it's expression. He was elected to be the state's lawyer, not to impose his morals and tastes on the public's libraries.
Just think about how much time Kline's office wasted rejecting these albums. Out of 51,000 CDs, 1,600 by 26 musicians were trashed. A Kline spokesman was quoted saying that the attorney general and staff looked at Internet databases of lyrics to determine which albums to pull. Some were rejected because of the staff's prior knowledge of their content.
anything else that needs to be done around there? Are songs about bitches and hoes more dangerous to the public than consumer fraud and crime?
This isn't an afternoon project, this stuff takes time. I wonder if there was
In announcing that certain messages are unacceptable for public libraries, what kind of message is Kline sending to public librarians? In five minutes at the Lawrence Public Library, I found copies of Meinkampf, A Clockwork Orange, Helter Skelter, Madame Bovary and many works by William S. Burroughs. These books including everything Kline says do not mesh with the values of Kansans. They talk about genocide, murder, drug use and violence against law enforcement or have sexual content. They take readers to places that are sometimes dangerous and disturbing. But they are reflections of the world, perceptions of reality.
How long is it before they, too, are pulled from the shelves? A librarian was quoted as saying he didn't mind Kline pulling the albums because rap wasn't popular west of Salina. Well, neither is the Manson family, but their story still got into the library.
If the attorney general is looking for some useful late summer reading from his local library, here's one suggestion: He should check out a copy of the U.S. Constitution, put on his favorite Raffi CD, kick back and read what the First Amendment says. Then maybe he'll start singing a new tune.

Cast vote on issues not images
The more baseless political rhetoric I hear in this presidential campaign, the more I think I'll move to Mexico.
If you've been paying attention, the most recent attacks on John Kerry attempt to undermine his multi-medal military record; the typical attacks on George W. Bush — that he's just a blockheaded puppet — remain steady.
POLITICS
The problem with these attacks, from both campaigns, is that they attempt to win your vote by stooping down to playground insults about the goodness or badness of each man and not his plan to make America more prosperous and secure. As a voter, it's insulting.
POLITICS
Americans won't debate issues anymore.
SEAN PAUZAUSKIE opinion@kansan.com
I have an example: our healthcare system. It's in trouble. Premiums are soaring. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated that in the last calendar year 43 million Americans had no health insurance. When you turn 23, if you're on your parents' insurance, you won't have any either.
Believe it or not, both candidates have opinions on fixing this problem. Kerry thinks his administration could cut health insurance premiums for businesses, making it cheaper for them to hire employees and expand coverage to
include every child; Bush thinks personal untaxed health savings accounts will help solve the problem, giving each American a choice of how much to save based on how sick they think they might get.
Whether these ideas can fix an undeniably breaking healthcare system really isn't the point. Other issues are floating around out there in the ether of hallway teasing about the candidates' hair and I.Q.: the Iraq war, outsourcing of American jobs, the abortion debate, the environment, homeland security and education. Where Kerry and Bush stand on these issues form their vision for the future of our country.
To the credit of some scathing pundits, politics is an undeniably dirty and deceitful game. I worked for a congressional committee this summer on
MON
Capitol Hill, and I saw a good share of slimy, crooked and simply bizarre events. For instance, during Reagan's procession to the Capitol, I heard a protester yell that the man, who many credit with ending the Cold War, was also "dumber than a hot dog."
I don't know about you, but I have yet to figure out what that means. Should Jimmy Carter have trumped Reagan in the 1980 election with bratwurst-level intelligence? With polish-sausage savvy?
The point is moot. This lowest-common-denominator approach to political discourse might be more fun than fuller cognizance, but it further polarizes the electorate and threatens to dumb down the upcoming generation of voters. This debt will cost more than money.
So as the Republican National Convention begins Monday and the attacks from both sides flare, remember to cast your vote for something concrete. Saying that Kerry "looks French" or that "Curious George should stop the monkey business" accomplishes little. Help give hot dogs back their good name and prevent a mass migration south.

Wild winter in Northeast; Almanac has snowy outlook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEWISTON, Maine — Gas up the snowblower but don't put away your umbrella: The Farmers' Almanac is predicting a wild winter with heavy precipitation and dramatic temperature swings in the Northeast.
The northern Plains and Great Lakes will be snowy, the almanac says, while it will be milder in the southern half of the country. The Northeast will have unusually wet weather — either as rain or snow, according to the almanac.
"The big thing is it's going to be a winter of extremes," said managing editor Sandi Duncan, whose almanac hits newsstands tomorrow.
The weather formula used by the 188-year-old Farmers' Almanac is a closely guarded secret. Prepared two years in advance, the forecasts are based on sunspots, the position of the planets and tidal action of the moon.
The National Weather Service questions the accuracy of forecasts made so far in advance, but the almanac says it is right 80 percent of the time. Some people use it for planning weddings and other outdoor events.
The almanac's forecast last
The weather formula used by the 188-year-old Farmers' Almanac is a closely guarded secret. Prepared two years in advance, the forecasts are based on sunspots, the position of the planets and tidal action of the moon.
This coming winter will get off to a cold start in the Pacific Northwest and northern Plains, the almanac says. Milder weather is in store for southern half of the nation, with near normal or balmy temperatures from California to the Deep South, according to the almanac.
The almanac also forecasted a wet and cool summer. And that seems to ring true in many places, including Maine.
winter was largely on the mark. It predicted a cold winter and Mother Nature delivered a January deep freeze in the Northeast.
Later in 2005, the almanac predicts a wet spring for most of the country and an active pattern for the Midwest's "Tornado
Alley" in April and June.
Alley in Upper Marsh
The Farmers' Almanac — not to be confused with the Old Farmer's Almanac in New Hampshire — also offers up recipes, brainteasers, jokes, gardening tips and trivia.
This year's edition also continues a focus by the almanac editors on finding happiness through simplicity.
An article on "Putting the Joy Back into Christmas" noted that the holiday buying binge leads to personal debt and an additional 5 million to 7 million tons of extra waste in landfills.
The editors expect to distribute 4.5 million copies of the three versions of the almanac: the 200-page retail version, a shorter promotional version and a Canadian version.
"We're not saying don't give. Let's give things that are more significant to the recipient," editor Peter Geiger said.
Last year the editors launched a syndicated column that's in 100 newspapers, and the almanac's Web site remains popular.
Now the editors are exploring a new medium.
"Our goal is to have a family-oriented television show," Duncan said.
Tiny chips from Intel earn hype
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Intel Corp. announced Monday it has created a memory chip using transistors that are considerably smaller than those powering today's state-of-the-art chips, allowing for more memory and greater performance.
As a result of their smaller size, more of the tiny switches can be packed into a single piece of silicon without having to increase the size of the chip. Products built with the new technology are on track for delivery in 2005, Intel said.
The gate — or switching mechanism — of each transistor on the new chip is about 30 percent smaller than those in use today, Intel said. About 100 of them could fit inside a human red blood cell.
Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel and other semiconductor companies have thrived on the ability to pack more performance into their chips. But with each generation, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain the pace as the tinier and tinier transistors test the physical limits of silicon.
Analyst investigation creates more pressure for Rumsfeld, Pentagon
WASHINGTON — The FBI investigation into whether a Pentagon analyst passed classified information to Israel is yet another political weight on Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It is not clear whether the investigation will result in charges of espionage at the Pentagon. At the least, the probe complicates Rumsfeld's position
as congressional committees that oversee the Defense Department prepare for more hearings on the abuse scandal.
It is focused on an analyst of Iranian affairs who works in a policy office headed by Douglas J. Feith, the undersecretary for policy. He has been accused by Democrats of seeking to manipulate intelligence to help make the case for going to war in Iraq. Congressional investigations
have found no evidence of that.
Larry Di Rita, Rumsfeld's chief spokesman, said yesterday that the Pentagon was sticking by its initial statement that it understands the investigation is limited in scope.
As for the possible political implications for Rumsfeld at the height of a presidential election campaign, Di Rita said, "I would not try to predict how the political season will affect this."
In his 3 1/2 years as secretary, Rumsfeld has had a sometimes rocky relationship with Congress. When the administration began a fight against terrorism in response
Early in his tenure at the Pentagon, Rumsfeld spoke out publicly against the unauthorized release of classified information. He undertook a special investigation when some elements of Pentagon planning for war in Iraq leaked to the news media in 2002.
to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, his stock rose and he gained popularity for his tough approach.
But as the insurgency in Iraq took hold in the summer of 2003 and the casualty toll for American troops mounted more than 950 have been killed — Rumsfeld became a target of criticism on Capitol Hill.
Rumsfeld took much political heat when the Abu Ghraib prisoner scandal came to light in
April with photographs of U.S. soldiers abusing and sexually humiliating Iraqi prisoners
Two official investigations found that the highest levels of the Defense Department shared blame for management lapses that may have contributed to the problems at Abu Ghraib. But those reviews found no evidence to suggest that Rumsfeld ordered, encouraged or condoned any abuse of Iraqis.

EATERY: Underground features new options, fresher atmosphere
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The Underground, which is part of the KU Cuisine plan, will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Chick-Fil-A and grab-and-go items, such as muffins and bagels, will be available five days a week starting at 7 a.m.
The convenience store and the coffee bar will also open at 7 a.m., but won't close until 11 p.m. for students using the Budig Hall computer lab and studying at Anschutz Library.
He said he will evaluate business in the coming months to determine if the Underground will add hours on weekends.
Myers said he expects an increase in business at the Underground when it opens, but he said business will even out between the Market, the Crimson Café at the Burge Union and the Underground.
Myers said the project didn't have any major set backs that caused the delay in opening, which had been scheduled for the first day of school. He said the magnitude of the expansion caused the delay. He also said he didn't want to push for an earlier opening and rush the construction.
"We don't want to open the doors and not live up to our customers' expectations," Mvers said.
Myers said he hasn't heard any complaints about the delay, but he did have students inquiring about the new food court.
"People are understanding," Myers said. "Either that or they're just not telling us."
In the next two weeks, a construction crew will put the finishing touches on the building, including finishing the floor, installing cabinets and setting up tables and chairs.
Myers said it was important to change the name of the food court and create a new logo for it.

Marci Stainbrook, Lacygne sophomore, remembered how Wescoe Terrace used to be.
"The old one was kind of ugly, kind of drab." Stainbrook said. "The new one will be so much better."
The remodeled food court has an earth and sky theme and a more modern look.
The counters and floor of the food court are various shades of brown and the ceiling is painted blue. To lower the ceiling and bring the eye-level lower, white "clouds" are suspended about eight feet below the ceiling.
Since Wesco Terrace has been closed, Myers said business at the Market in the Kansas Union has increased 30 to 40 percent. Students also have been eating at the hot dog and hamburger stand and vending machine at Wesco.
"I'm tired of the box here," said Rutler, referring to the vending machine.
Rutter is one of many who are excited for the reopening.
"I miss their sushi," she said.
Myers said he expects about 3,000 people to come to the Underground each day, double from what Wescoe Terrace had.
"People will want to try it and see what's been done with the site." Myers said.
Stainbrook said she will use the Underground at least twice a week once it opens.
"I'm excited for Chick-Fil-A." Stainbrook said. "I'll definitely check it out."

"When you see the weather start getting bad, you start paying attention more closely." Fergus said. "You get used to it and it's not as scary."
Diana Robertson, associate director of student housing, said the procedure for severe weather for residence halls on campus was to get students to the lower levels of the halls.
Robertson said staff in the halls sometimes walked through the halls to make sure students were taking cover.
"We're not a security force, so we didn't force anybody to take shelter." Mvers said.
Bill Myers, library spokesman, said a few students sought cover during Monday night's storm in Anschutz and Watson libraries.
Myers said library staff alerted students that a tornado warning had been issued and then asked them to seek shelter on the lower levels of the libraries.

Phillips said lightning could precede a storm by six miles and should give people a warning to take cover.
Akulow said flash flooding was the number one killer in thunderstorms.
The mistake some people made, Akulow said, was staying in their cars and then getting swept downstream.
Akulow said people needed to get out of the car, if at all possible, and find higher ground.
"Don't do any unnecessary traveling," Akulow said. "If it's storming or raining really
STORM SAFETY
The National Weather Service issues a tornado watch when conditions for a tornado are favorable. A tornado warning is issued when a tornado has actually been sighted.
If a warning is issued, you need to take cover immediately in underground shelter. If underground shelter is not available, go to the most interior spot on the lowest level of the building you are in and cover yourself with a sturdy piece of furniture or something to block you from flying debris. If you are in a car or mobile home, you need to abandon it and either take shelter somewhere inside or find the lowest level or indentation in the ground outside, such as a ditch.
Lightning can strike at any time. If you can hear thunder, you are within striking distance and need to seek cover in an inside location. If

you are outside and start to feel your skin tingle and hair raise up, you need to squat down on the balls of your feet as low as you can and place your head in between your knees. The point of squatting instead of laying on the ground is that you want to cover the least amount of area as you can.
Lightning can strike as far as 10 miles away from the rain area in a thunderstorm. That's about the distance you can hear thunder. When a storm is 10 miles away, it may even be difficult to tell a storm is coming. If you can hear thunder, you are within striking distance. The first stroke of lightning is just as deadly as the last. If the sky looks threatening, take shelter before hearing thunder.

CONGRESSMAN: Moore to battle Kobach in November election
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
McFarland said he thought the race would be close. Two years ago, Moore won by three percent over Adam Taff, Kobach's former opponent this year in the Republican primary.
Kathleen Daughey, Topeka junior and president of the KU Young Democrats, said she thought Moore would have an advantage over Kobach.
"I think Moore is better representative of KU than Kobach," she said. "Kobach is extremely conservative, and that's not representative of KU."
She also thought Moore's presence at voter registration drives would be an advantage for him.
"People meeting him will want to register to vote and then vote for him," she said.

'Hawks rough up Rebels
Caroline, Jessica prove two Smiths are better than one in 2-0 season-opening victory
BY KELLIIS ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITHER
The Kansas women's soccer team started its season on a high note with a 2-0 victory over the University of Nevada-Las Vegas Saturday night at Peter Johann Memorial Field in Las Vegas.
Junior forward Caroline Smith scored the first goal of the season for the Jayhawks (1-0) in the 27th minute of the first half when she took a pass from senior forward Rachel Gilfillan and
punched it into the goal.
Kansas scored again no more than four minutes later when the team's other junior forward, Jessica Smith, gave the squad a 2-0 lead, receiving a pass from senior midfielder Lauren Williams and maneuvering a shot past the UNLV goalkeeper.
The two-goal advantage was all that Kansas would need to win as the defense held UNLV scoreless.
The defensive effort was led by senior goalie Meghan Miller, who stopped four shots and earned her 20th career shutout.

Miller, who holds the school record for shutouts, collected three saves in the second half to earn her first
shutout of the season.
"I thought it was pretty much a typical first game," said coach Mark Francis. "We came out a little bit excited at the beginning of the first half, but we settled down and played much better for the next 20 minutes to take a 2-1 lead into halftime. Overall I'm pretty happy about our team's performance in its first game."
The women's soccer team will continue its road trip Monday when it heads to Provo, Utah, to take on the Brigham Young University Cougars at 3 p.m.

Editor's Note: This is the final installment in the Kansan's position-by-position breakdown of the Kansas football team's 2004 depth chart. The team opens its season at home against Tulsa this Saturday, Sept. 4.
Replacing a graduated starter is never an easy task for a football team.
Replacing a starter who probably changed the entire direction of a program is nearly impossible.

Sophomore Adam Barmann is the front runner for the title of Jayhawks' starting quarterback. Barmann played in four games last year, replacing the injured Bill Whittemore.
Graduated senior and former Jayhawks quarterback Bill Whittemore posted record-breaking and near-record-breaking performances throughout last season.
He might have broken several other records if not for his injury midway through the season.
Among the records Whittemore holds is the single-season record for passing touchdowns with 18. He also tied Mike Norseth's mark set in 1985 for most 200-yard pass games with. His 2,919 yards of total offense last season has only been eclipsed once in Jayhawk history (Norseth had 3,214 in '85).

"I have to show the fans what I've brought with me: the rebounds, putbacks and running hard." Jackson said.

A fair, yet cushioned path to graduation
There are many things about Kansas State University that are difficult to understand.
But, as hard as it may be to believe, the school may have finally gotten something right.
It's hard to figure out how it decided on purple as a school color, how my cousin decided to go to school there and how long it will be until Bill Snyder admits he sold his soul to the ruler of the underworld.
Well, sort of.
And of all things, it involves academics.
A story in last Tuesday's Washington Post uncovered a class at KSU titled ATHM 104 - better known as Varsity Football. The only requirements for the course are that participants must be on the football team and must attend practices and games. During their careers, Wildcat football players can earn up to four academic credit hours for doing exactly what they were brought to Manhattan for.
Kansas State is not alone in this practice. The report in the Post pointed out that more than three dozen of the 117 Division I-A schools with football teams have similar programs. At The Ohio State University, football players take a course "instructed" by head football coach Jim Tressel for two credit hours a semester. They can enroll in the class as many as five times while playing for the Buckeyes.
Yep, ten credits for football.
The main flaw in Snyder's course is that he hands out letter grades, so the mark earned in ATM 104 goes towards his players' grade point averages. Of all schools that have such courses, letter grades being awarded is rare. The Post reported that of the 61 players enrolled in Snyder's "course" last year, 57 received As.
The obvious question now is does this exist at the University of Kansas?
The answer, in a way, is yes, though the class available to varsity athletes at Kansas is run much more fairly, as well.
At Kansas, the class is HSES 104 Strength and Conditioning.
The class is not specific to football or basketball players; it can be taken by any varsity athlete. The course is supervised by Chris Dawson, who is the director of strength and conditioning in the Athletics Department.
Jim Marchiony, Kansas associate athletics director, said the class is only available to Jayhawk varsity athletes, is a one hour course that can be taken as many as four times, and is graded on a pass-fail scale - not with letter grades.
"I think the way we do it at Kansas is a really good way to do it," Marchiony said. "No one gets credit for playing football or anything. The one hour you get for 104 is based on participation in this class. It is not based on practice or competition on a KU team."
A lot of students who are not varsity athletes may find it unfair that the athletes have this type of class offered, but in no way are the athletes getting preferential treatment with this course. This class falls under the same category as the HSES classes that are open to all Kansas students, such as bowling, basketball, golf and racquetball, to name a few. This course open to varsity athletes, I believe, is actually extremely fair.
I can agree with Kansas State's course up until the whole part about doling out letter grades. Why should athletes not have at least a one-hour course that caters to their main purpose for being here as long as it is not solely there as a GPA cushion?

U.S. tops Olympic gold medal winnings
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"These were the games where we saw the awakening of Asia," International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge said. "The traditional strong nations that dominate the scene now will have to work extremely hard."
The American team amassed 103 total medals, topping its target of 100, and won 35 golds to 32 for China and 27 for Russia. But China played the lead role in the games' most significant trend — the improvement of Asian squads in a widening array of Olympic sports as they gift for the 2008 Beijing Games.
ATHENS, Greece — The United States finished atop the medal charts for the third straight Summer Olympics, with Russia the overall runner-up and China second in gold medals — its best showing ever and the leading edge of a surge by Asian teams.
Far East Asian nations won 65 gold medals in Athens, compared to 43 at Sydney in 2000. Japan alone uppped its gold total from five to 16, the biggest increase of any nation, while China won gold for the first time in tennis and men's track.

Games end well in Athens
World says thanks to Athens for security, beauty, final ceremony
BY STEVE WILSTEIN Associated Press Columnist
ATHENS. Greece — Efharist
A nervous world learned the Greek word for thank you and repeated it endlessly at an astonishingly successful Athens Olympics that quelled fears, surprised skeptics and greatly honored the birthplace of the games.
Efharisto, Athens, for architectural masterpieces of stadiums and arenas that showcased record performances. The fountain sprays, reflecting pools and soaring arches. The undulating, giant white Wall of Nations that caught the whispering wind, bringing music to our ears and smiles to our faces.
Efharisto for the thousands of security forces who stood guard day and night, keeping terrorism away. An undercurrent of danger, a sense of tranquility.
fireworks and spectacular lighting kicked off the closing ceremony Sunday night, a two-hour extravaganza of folk dancing and music in the Olympic tradition that summed up the glee and relief the games brought to Greece. Afterward, thousands of athletes marched into the Olympic stadium, waving their arms and flags, snapping photos of each other, hugging, and basking in the cheers of 70,000 fans.
"You have won." International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge told the Greek people, who responded with a roar. "You have won by brilliantly meeting the tough challenge of holding the games. These were unforgettable, dream games."
A full moon lit up the sky, adding an extra sparkle to the night. Not quite as high above the celebration was the white security blimp, keeping a watchful eye on the all the action — as it did throughout the games.
He was right, even if they started slowly the first week with empty seats and vacant plazas as many Greeks took their holidays and frightened tourists stayed away. The second week saw the games transformed. The huge Olympic
Athletes who finished their events partied, roaming the Plaka, Syntagma and Omonia squares. It was Greece at its rollingick best, a spirited fusion of visitors from all countries, and of all colors and ages. It reminded us again, at a time when we need all the reminding we can get, that the Olympics celebrate humanity's highest aspirations, the universal quest for peace and the exalted qualities of body, mind and spirit that transcend cultures.
There had been no shortage of worries that Athens would not be ready for these games. As late as March 2000, the IOC considered moving the Olympics out of Greece, possibly to South Korea.

stadium was packed each night for track and field. Basketball, tennis and beach volleyball rocked.
"It's always nice to underpromise and overdeliver," said Jim Easton, an American IOC vice president.
We trod like pilgrims to a shrine up the dusty stones of the Acropolis to gaze with awe at the 2,500-year-old Parthenon. Our imaginations did the rest, letting us feel the spirit of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle — that brain bunch who laid the foundation for our culture.
"The world discovered a new Greece," said Athens 2004 president Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki, who made it all happen with her fierce determination to overcome construction delays and avoid humiliation.
These games took us to their sacred origin in Olympia to watch the shot put, to Marathon to stand on the spot where the race got its name.
The scourge of sports — steroids, stimulants and other drugs — intruded but didn't spoil the games. A record two dozen athletes were caught, seven lost medals, and there could be more to come as the test results keep rolling in
Greek sprint stars Kostas Kenteris and Katerina Thanou broke their countrymen's hearts — and angered many — when they pulled out of the games after questions over missed drug tests and a suspicious motorcycle crash the night before the opening ceremony.
There were scandals and controversies. as always.
because it's eliminating the cheats and protecting the clean athletes," Rogge said. "The more we find, the better."
Even the final event, the men's marathon, was marred an hour before the closing ceremony when a defrocked Irish priest bolted from the crowd and grabbed the leader, Brazil's Vanderlei de Lima, about three miles from the finish. De Lima recovered and finished, but had to settle for a bronze when a protest by his track federation was rejected.
Three gymnastics judges were suspended after it was determined South Korean Yang Tae-young was scored improperly, costing him a gold medal that went to American Paul Hamm.
"Each positive test is a blessing for us
"I was scared, because I didn't know what could happen to me, whether he was armed with a knife, a revolver or something, and whether he was going to kill me," de Lima said. "That's what cost me the gold medal."
The marathon medalists, gold winner Stefano Baldini of Italy, American silver medalist Meb Keflezighi, and de Lima received their olive wreaths and medals at the closing ceremony.
These Olympics saw the rise of China as a sports superpower as it positioned itself for the 2008 games in Beijing.
lisen for the 2016 game.
The United States, buoyed by the brilliance of swimming star Michael Phelps but embarrassed by the three losses and mere bronze of its once-vaulted men's basketball team, won the most medals.
The caudron of the Olympic Flame was slowly lowered, symbolically lighting the torches to be carried around the world to the next Summer Games. At 10:48 p.m., Athens' flame was extinguished, singers took the stage and volleys of fireworks again lit up the sky.
Friday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article, "Soccer team plans to meet, score goals this season," stated the women's soccer team's record last season was 40-20-3.

But, at Kansas, he has become accustomed to being the baby.
Courtney Kuhlen/KANSAN
At 6-foot-8 and nearly 250 pounds, Darnell Jackson is not used to being the little guy.
"I don't ever remember being bigger than Darnell," said sophomore guard J.R. Giddens, who played with both Jackson and teammate Jeremy Case on the same summer AAU team in Oklahoma. "But I still always call him 'Baby,' because he's a freshman and he doesn't know as much as he thinks he knows."
Jackson, who has always been the youngest and biggest of the three when playing together, said he had accepted his role in the group.
Dernell Jackson, freshman forward, dunks the ball during Saturday's scrimmage match at Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Jackson's teammates said he was known for his graceful moves on the court
"I was the baby, then, so they looked out for me," Jackson said. "Now I'm up here, so I'm still the baby, but it's cool."
Jackson's other nicknames include "D-Block," coined by teammate Mike Lee, and "Big D", which he went by in high school. These names might be more appropriate to describe his style of play. Jackson will bring hard-nosed defense and physical play inside the paint, helping to fill the void left by departed senior jeff Graves.
The power forward is also known for his smoothness, which earned him a second nickname from Giddens.
"A name I call him is 'Big Graceful,'" Giddens said, "because when you see a big guy go down there and lay it up or dunk, it might not be the most beautiful thing. When Darnell does it, it's graceful."
From Midwest City High School in Oklahoma the student, Jackson remains a student of the
game. He began playing basketball just four years ago in ninth grade, but said that shouldn't be a disadvantage for him in the competition for playing time.
"You just have to go show everybody what you can do," Jackson said. "I'm not worrying about it."
His parents — lifelong University of Oklahoma fans wanted him to stay close to home, but Jackson chose a different path.
Instead, he followed friends Giddens and Case to become the third Oklahoma on the Kansas roster.
"You just have to go show
"I didn't see myself staying in Oklahoma, because I felt back at home there's nothing there for me," Jackson said. "I wanted to get out of state and experience a new life by myself."
Jackson said that Case and Giddens had already been a positive influence on him in adjusting to college life. He said the two helped him with questions both on and off the court regarding practices and classes.

everybody what you can do."
Coach Bill Self said that in addition to his physical play, Jackson's passing ability stood out most on recruiting visits.
"You don't recruit very many 250-pound guys because they can pass the ball." Self said, "but I've always thought he was a good passer."
Self said that Jackson had been a pleasant surprise in preseason practices, with the forward showing his potential in the Jayhawks' open scrimmage Saturday. In 18 combined minutes, Jackson had an impressive scoring line, contributing 13 points, nine rebounds, five offensive rebounds, two steals and no turnovers.
His early performance brought compliments not only from Self but also senior All-American candidate Wayne Simien, who said that Jackson reminded him a lot of himself when he was a freshman.
Jackson still admits he has work to do on the offensive end, but he looks to gain both experience and knowledge in the upcoming Canada trip.
"I'm ready to go out and learn just learn more about the game," Jackson said.
In the meantime, he'll just try to hold his own against his teammates and friends while coping with the fact that he's still just the baby.
"He was talking stuff in a pickup game, and I was like 'Hey, kid, you haven't hit a shot yet. You're just a baby,' Giddens said. "But he's a good guy and a good player. He's better than what people think."

Junior Brian Luke threw this pass against Oklahoma State last fall. He has been working in training camp to build on last year's numbers this season. He said he doesn't think about other players competing for the starting quarterback position, but tries to take responsibility for his own actions on the field.

Luke goes after dream of starting
Junior quarterback's stellar offseason could result in playing time this season
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolaiani@kansan.com
KANSANI SPORTWRITER
The past two seasons, junior quarterback Brian Luke did not think he would have an opportunity to start for the Kansas Jayhawks, mainly because the job belonged to Bill Whittmore.
Luke, who passed for a school record 2,800 yards in his senior season at Las Lomas High School in Walnut Creek, Calif., came to KU looking to become a starter.
This year, Luke is right behind sophomore Adam Barmann and has a chance to eventually become the team's starting quarterback.
"I have always wanted to prove to people that I can play, especially at this level, in the Big 12. It's just a prestigious conference," Luke said. "I'm just excited to have the opportunity to get out there and play and make the best of it."
Luke did have an opportunity to prove himself last season when he saw action in four games.
He passed for 285 yards in those four games and had his most productive day against Oklahoma State, going 22-for-38 for 193 yards and two touchdowns.
Luke is working in training camp to build on those numbers this season.
He does not worry about what Barmann and the other quarterbacks competing for the

doing out there. But she said "I feel confident in how I am doing. We are just both out there trying to leave the offense."
It appears that Luke will like-

ly be the second string quarterback this season behind Barmann when the team opens its season Sept. 4 against Tulsa.
But that is not to say that head coach Mark Mangino has not been impressed with Luke.
Luke is preparing for his opportunity to play at any point this season.
"Brian Luke is one of the hardest working guys in this program and he has faced a lot of criticism," Mangino said. "He just keeps working every day and is one of our most improved players."
"We know that whoever they put in at starter is going to be the best man for the job."
Luke and junior college transfer Jason Swanson have been pushing Barrman throughout training camp.
"You know that you will get the opportunity to play sooner or later, so you have to prepare to be the starter every game," Luke said. "That way there is no surprise when you get in there."
"We are both competitors, all the quarterbacks are," Luke said.

Pujols joins legends with 100th RBI of the season
PITTSBURGH — Albert Pujols turned down a day off and then joined some elite company.
Pujols hit his 40th home run and reached 100 RBIs for the fourth consecutive season, and the St. Louis Cardinals completed a three-game sweep of the
Pirates with a 4-0 victory Sunday.
Pujols, who also hit his first triple of the season, became the fourth player to start his major league career with four straight seasons with at least 100 RBIs. He joined Hall of Famers Al Simmons, Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams as the only players to accomplish the feat.
"it's awesome," Pujols said.
"it's tough to get 100 at this
Jason Marquis (13-4) held the Pirates to four hits in 7 1-3 shutout innings to win his 10th straight decision. He hasn't lost since the Pirates beat him 11-8 on May 26. He walked four and hit a batter as the Cardinals won their seventh straight
level, but I'm here to do the best I can to win. I don't care who they try to compare me to. I just want to be myself and try to get better every day."
"I was more than pleased," La Russa said. "It was a tough matchup against (Oliver) Perez, a hot day, the end of a road trip. It was an outstanding performance."
The Pirates have lost nine of their last 12 — with seven of the losses to St. Louis. They were 1-7 in consecutive weekend series against the Cardinals.

"We have a long way to go

to get to their level," Pirates outfielder Mackowiak said.
"There's a terrific attitude on this team," La Russa said. "The guys really push each other. This club has played at a really high level for a long time and that's hard to do. You have to dig deep and they do, every day."

QUARTERBACKS: Trying to fill the gap left by Whittemore
"Last year was last year," Barmann said. "This is a new year, and we're going to have new challenges. We're just going to have to keep working."
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
This season, however, Barmann is prepared to lead an offense which he believes has improved from last year.
"Things are definitely moving up for us," Barmann said. "I think the offense as a whole is a little bit ahead of where we were last year."
Standing behind Barmann, ready to step up if he is unable to perform are juniors Brian Luke and Jason Swanson.
Luke appeared in four games last season, passing for 285 total yards.
Swanson came to Kansas by way of the City College of San Francisco where he helped his undefeated team to the NJCAA championship last year.
His season high came in a 44-21 loss at Oklahoma State, where he recorded a career-high 193 vards.
In that season he went 62-of-104 for 1,187 yards and nine touchdowns.
The Jayhawks face a schedule heralded as one of the third or fourth hardest in the country.

If you factor in the free clothes and shoes, extensive travel and tutoring aid that athletes are treated with while at Kansas, it may be hard to think that a class offered strictly to student-athletes could be fair. But Kansas has found a happy medium between being too harsh and too lenient in helping its athletes towards graduation. I give it a B+.
This course helps them get to that point in a small way. And for student-athletes who are not going into professional athletic competition, this helps cut down on the course load they must bear while competing for Kansas teams.

For the typical Kansas varsity athlete, a day's labor includes much more time working outside of the academic realm than anything else. What this course does, without going to drastic measures, is aid the athletes in a small way to help fill their credit hour requirements towards graduation.
Every student comes to college with a career goal in mind. For a good portion of student-athletes, that goal includes athletics beyond the collegiate level.

Jayhawks get final tune-up in rout of alumnae
By Bill Cross
bcross@kansan.com
KANAKAN SPORTSWITTER
No one was safe during the warm-ups preceding Saturday's volleyball alumni match.
Spectators, officials and even Kansas athletics director Lew Perkins deflected stray digs that exceeded the court's inadequate boundaries.
No court was big enough to contain this enthusiasm.
"They're great," former Jayhawk setter Laura Rohde said of this year's team. "They have the toughest serving I've ever seen."
est serving 14.
The current Jayhawks scored 14
aces during the match, which lasted
four games only because the
varsity team volunteered to play an
extraneous game after sweeping
the first three. The 2004 team
recorded victories of 30-7, 30-27,
30-18 and 30-12.
30-16 and 18 The first game was never close. The varsity built a 15-1 lead on multiple kills by junior middle blocker Josi Lima and freshman opposite hitter Emily Brown before the alumni called a timeout to try to regroup. Lima and Brown each finished the set with 4 kills.
In the second game, it became obvious that the alumni didn't return to campus to be target practice for the younger, faster Jayhawk team. Rohde and outside hitter Nancy Bell answered with four
kills each during the game, and the score was tied 18-18 after a Rohde kill.
Though the alumni stayed close, trailing just 27-26 after Lima mistimed a block attempt, they had no answer for the powerful spikes of senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels. She landed five kills in the game and contributed two digs to the inconsistent team defense.
The Jayhawks overcame seven attack errors in game three to win the match. With the match already decided, the crowd turned against the current Jayhawks in the fourth game. Attendees at the Horesji Family Athletic Center shouted "let's go alumni" and booed when sophomore outside hitter Jana Correa landed serve after serve just inside the baseline. She had five for the match.

Lina set the tone for game three with a spike that displayed all the speed and power that earned her Big 12 preseason honors as an all-conference middle blocker.
for the match. The current Jayhawks displayed a light-hearted nature during the final two games with playful celebrations, but the tone will be much different at Wednesday's season opener at Arkansas, coach Ray Bechard said.
Senior libero Jill Dorsey, who dominated Saturday's match defensively with 16 digs, said Wednesday's contest will be a better measure of how the team
had progressed. She said the Razorbacks, who made the NCAA tournament last year, were just the first obstacle on a tough 2004 schedule. The lineup includes 10 games against 2003 tournament teams. Kansas made its first ever tournament appearance last season before being eliminated by Pepperdine in the second round.

regional seminars.
Beachard said Saturday's scrimage provided evidence of the team's potential to do just that.
"We had pretty good balance," he said, noting that five players had at least 9 Kills.
After facing Arkansas, Kansas will head to Tulsa, Okla., for the Oral Roberts tournament this weekend, where it is scheduled to play three games in less than 30 hours.

Brown, the preseason Big 12 co-freshman of the year, said the exhibition was the last step in preparing the team for the regular season.
"We had a couple weeks of twoa-days," she said. "Now it's just good to play somebody new, not ourselves."

NAACP rekindles University chapter

Students sit outside of then Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe to protest segregation of Lawrence apartments. KU eventually became active in integrating Lawrence living establishments.

It was 40 years ago when Carlena Haney, then a freshman from Basehor, thought she would sit in Strong Hall to do her homework, she said.
Haney wasn't alone for long. It took only a few minutes for groups of people to start piling in. She didn't know at first, but Haney was to become part of a historic sit in outside of Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe's office.
That sit in was to become a Lawrence legacy of the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People.
The NAACP, then the Lawrence chapter, was at that time working to encourage Chancellor Wescoe to support the desegregation of Lawrence apartments. Now a campus NAACP group has rekindled in hopes of fighting the civil rights challenges of today.
The group is meeting at 7 tonight in the International Room of the Kansas Union.
While the NAACP Lawrence chapter was active on campus 40 years ago, it wasn't until 2001 that a student chapter was chartered. The KU NAACP chapter was the first university chapter in Kansas.
Last year the group was stagnant while new leaders were chosen, said Robert Page, KU NAACP adviser and

Student starts own line of tank tops
BY NIKGLA ROWE
nrowe@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Erin Pickhotz built her own business from the ground up while going to the University of Kansas. A journalism major with the emphasis on advertising, Pickhotz said the best way she could think of to prepare herself for a career in pharmaceutical marketing was to make and sell a product of her own.
Pickhotz, Cleveland senior, got the idea for her business venture when she went to visit her sister in New York. Lindsey Pickhotz, 24, attended Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. While shopping with her sister in New York, Pickhotz found a cute pink tank top she purchased for $70.
"I looked at that tank and said, 'Oh I can make that for myself,'" Pickhotz said.
Pickhotz started making tank tops during the summer of 2003, first for herself and then for friends. The marketing experience Pickhotz received from school gave her the help that she needed to take her business from her hand stitching to having other people sew her shirts for her.
"I didn't even know how to sew when I started." Pickhott said.
Pickhotz said that an important lesson about having your own business is to build relationships. She realized that buying material from craft stores was not economical and began to establish relationships with material vendors and wholesale stores.
Pickhotz started off getting sewing help from her mother, who she said was very supportive. Now Pickhotz pays a company in Cleveland per shirt to do the sewing for her.
"You really have to think outside the box to do something like this," Pickhotz said.
Pickhotz buyers have grown past just her friends. Pickhotz copyrighted her trademark brand name, Pearly Girl, and has sales representatives at Ohio State University, University of Minnesota, Arizona State University, University of Arizona and University of Michigan. Deanie Tish, Minneapolis senior, roommate and sales representative in Minnesota, said that she has some buyers interested in seeing some samples of Pickhotz's tanks when she goes home this summer. Tish is Pickhotz's roommate and sales representative in Minnesota.
Kit Leffler/KANSAN
Pickhotz is currently undergoing the licensing process at the University and met with the buyer at Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Rd., yesterday.
Erin Pickhotz, Cleveland senior, built her own clothing business in college. The business name, "Pearly Girl" came from her mother's maiden name, also Pickhotz's middle name.
If you live in Naismith Hall or in a sorority house you may have already met Pickhotz. She has made visits to three sorority houses already selling her tanks.
Pickhotz made her first sell to a buyer at a Lawrence boutique downtown. Pickhotz's tanks are being sold at Ginger & Maryanne, 914 Massachusetts St. for $16. Beth Easter, KU graduate and owner of Ginger and Maryanne, bought 10 of Pickhotz's tanks a month ago and is now down to five.
"They're pretty much one of a kind
— each one is different," Easter said.
Pickhotz said she depended on her own creativity to make the tanks. She said that when she created a shirt, she would turn on music to get into a zone. She also tries to have mini focus groups to see what women like and don't like.
"I've learned that Erin is more creative than I ever thought." Tish said.
Pickhotz describes her shirts as feminine and classic.
Her trademark tag also represents these descriptions with a pink background and a string of pearls around the name.
Pickhotz said she got the idea for the brand name because her middle name is Pearl, which is also her mother's maiden name.
Pickhotz said her drive is mostly an influence of her mother's. She also said her classes have given her strategy and the ability.

Republican candidate slams opponent's immigrant policy

Senior research scholars from Bonn, Germany, Nelli Loewen and Kathleen Benevolo, eat lunch on steps of Wescoe Hall yesterday afternoon. The two were eating pasta and enjoying the mid-day sun.
NEW YORK — Republican challenger Kris Kobach said yesterday that Democratic Rep. Dennis Moore "placed American citizens at risk" by voting against a proposal to allow troops to patrol U.S. borders.
troops to patrol Kobach gave a 47-second speech to the Republican National Convention as part of a lineup of congressional candidates from across the nation. He also touted his service as a former U.S. Justice Department official.

U. S. Justice Department Moorbach has said Moore's voting record on security issues shows that Moore, who is seeking a fourth term, is too liberal for the 3rd District, which covers Johnson and Wandotte counties and part of Douglas County. Moore has disputed that claim.
Kobach focused on a vote Moore cast in May against a proposal allowing the secretary of defense to assign troops to patrol U.S. borders to fight drug trafficking and illegal immigration and prevent terrorists from crossing.
ing. "How many terrorists will enter the United States before my opponent realizes that we must close the border to terrorists?" Kobach said.
Kobach said if he elected, he would "close the door to terrorists who abuse America's open borders."
A spokeswoman for Moore, Christie Appelhanz, said Moore's vote was based on concern that U.S. forces already were "stretched too thin."
"Congressman Moore believes it is a better idea to put personnel on the border who are specifically trained in border security." Appelhanz said in a written statement.
"The real issue," she added, "is that Kris Kobach favors shifting troops from defending our nation to use them in routine law enforcement. It is bad for our defense against terrorism and bad for our domestic security."

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
YORK
ERS
Republican National Convention yesterday wasn't void of insults: Republicans said Democratic Sen. John Kerry was a shift-in-the-wind campaigner unworthy of the White House. The convention was held four miles from Ground Zero of the Sept. 11 attack.
"We need George Bush' more than ever," said former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
"We need a leader with the experience to make the tough decisions and the resolve to stick with them," added Sen. John McCain of Arizona. In prepared remarks, McCain called the invasion of Iraq "necessary, achievable and noble."
The president campaigned in New Hampshire and Michigan as the GOP opened its four-day convention. But he triggered an instant campaign stir that threatened to muddle the convention's carefully scripted message when he told an interviewer he doubted victory is possible in the war on terror.
"I don't think you can win it. But I think you can create the conditions that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world," Bush
told NBC. Kerry responded that the struggle was "absolutely" winnable and Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards said Bush's remark amounted to a concession of defeat in the war that terrorists launched in 2001.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan hastened to clarify the president's remarks, saying Bush meant the war was not a conventional one, and neither would be the ending.
McCain offered no criticism of the president's Democratic rival, his longtime Senate colleague and a man he calls a friend. But he gave a full-throated endorsement of Bush as wartime president.
McCain and Giuliani were the evening's principal prime-time speakers at the convention podium, a reflection of their ability to command political support outside the president's conservative base.
CITY OF NEW YORK
Critics of the invasion of Iraq believe Bush faced a choice between the status quo and war, McCain said. "But there was no status quo to be left alone," he said. "It was between a war and a graver threat. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Not our critics abroad. Not our political opponents."

Jackson County: Hurrah for Harrah's

MAYETTA — Six years ago, most of the roads at the Potawatomi reservation north of Topeka were either dirt or gravel. The unemployment rate in Jackson County was high, and there wasn't much reason for anyone living outside the county to seek jobs there.

The average salary is $14 an hour, and 75 percent of the employees are full time. The county's jobless rate has shrunk to 6.4 percent, and 2000 census figures show 1,400 people commute into the county to work, compared with 400 in 1990.

Reports may finish four Army generals
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal could effectively end the careers of four Army generals who are linked indirectly to the incident but face no criminal charges.
All four are "essentially finished in the military," even if they are not forced to resign, said Dan Goure, a defense analyst at the Lexington Institute think tank.
The four are singled out for varying degrees of criticism and praise in two comprehensive investigative reports released last week. The investigators conclude that the generals are partly responsible, but not legally culpable, for the abuse last fall.
The most senior of the generals, Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, already has been passed over for promotion to a four-star slot as chief of Southern Command.
Sanchez was the top U.S. commander in Iraq until the restoration of Iraq sovereignty in late June, when he returned to Army 5th Corps headquarters in Germany, where he is the commanding general.
Further complicating his situation is the fact that as 5th Corps commander he would normally be the person to make decisions about pursuing possible criminal charges against soldiers of the 205th Military Intelligence Brigade who are implicated in the latest Army report.
But since his own role in Iraq is under scrutiny, that responsibility may be shifted elsewhere.
Sanchez and his top deputy Maj. Gen. Walter Wojdakowski, are cited in an Army investigation for failure to "ensure proper staff oversight of detention and interrogation operations" in Iraq, specifically at the Abu Ghraib prison where Iraqi detainees were physically abused and sexually humiliated by military police and intelligence soldiers in the fall of 2003.
That probe was conducted by Maj. Gen. George Fay and focused on the role of the 205th Military Intelligence Brigade at Abu Ghraib.
It found no evidence that the abuse was carried out under military orders, or in accordance with Pentagon policy, but was attributed to personal misconduct and confusion and inadequate supervision.
Also released last week was a report by an independent panel of nongovernment experts, headed by former defense secretary James Schlesinger.
tary James Becketts, Fast, Wojdakowski and Sanchez, as well as Janis Karpinski, the Army Reserve brigadier general who commanded the 800th Military Police Brigade in Iraq, are criticized in both the Fay and Schlesinger reports.
Fast also is praised. The Fay report says she orchestrated a reorganization of the intelligence setup in Iraq after she arrived in July 2003 amid an emerging anti-U.S. insurgency.
The Schlesinger report says Wojdakowski failed to call for more military police at Abu Ghraib after it became clear that more were needed.
It faults Fast for improperly advising Sanchez on operating the interrogation center at Abu Ghraib and for failing to appropriately monitor the activities of the CIA, whose officers participated in some interrogations at the prison and who allegedly persuaded the Army to hold "ghost" detainees without registering them as required by law.
The Schlesinger report blamed Karpinski for leadership failures that "helped set the conditions at the prison which led to the abuses." She failed to ensure that Iraqi prisoners were protected by the Geneva Conventions and failed to deal with ineffective commanders below her. The recommendations it made essentially end her career.

Calendar,selection process lacks distinction
A calendar that displays women of distinction is a noble idea. Yet the KU Women of Distinction calendar seems to have been created in order to combat the annual Women of KU calendar. The idea was partly spurred from a negative view of another calendar instead of simply a positive idea to recognize outstanding students and faculty. Marci Deuth, a senior selected to be in the latest Women of Distinction calendar, said that it was more than just a response to the Women of KU calendar.
"I think it's more of a response to the images of women we see in media in general," Deuth said.
While some object to the Women of KU calendar, at least all KU women have the opportunity to apply. The women go through an interview process that is open to everyone and widely advertised. How women become official "women of distinction" at the University is a mystery. The selection process for the calendar is not widely known. In fact, Vimbayi Kajese, Harare, Zimbabwe senior, doesn't know why or how she was selected to be in last year's Women of Distinction calendar.
Deuth said women are nominated to be a part of the calendar by faculty, other students, or self-nomination. Deuth found out about the opportunity from an e-mail sent to the Student Senate list serve. That's great for student senators, but what about the rest of the student body?
If the women of distinction are to be found on campus, everyone should be given a fair opportunity to be in the calendar or to nominate someone else. Students should question how it is decided who will be in the calendar out of all the other women on campus. For a true calendar depicting women of distinction in all arenas of university life, more than a mystery committee needs to be involved in the selection.
Women of distinction deserve to be recognized and the University is lucky to have many thriving on campus. However, a piece of paper doesn't do these outstanding women justice. The Women of Distinction calendar can only recognize a few each year. While 5,000 copies of the January 2004 calendar were printed, in August 2004 there were still copies available in addition to the copies of the latest Women of Distinction calendar.
women of Distinction When all 5,000 copies are not picked up on a campus with 27,800 students and more than 2,000 faculty members, the calendar is not impacting anywhere near the students it should. The University should think of better ways to honor women of distinction. Maybe the money could be better spent if it were given as scholarships or grants to these women. Putting pictures on pieces of paper that people don't pick up is doing more of a disservice than helping these women become distinct in their pursuits.

Freshman label attracts attention
It is as if they are wearing bright neon labels on their faces reading: FRESHMAN. During my first night out as an upperclassman, I got a fascinating glimpse of how excessive the maddening habits of freshman girls really are. Yet, how strangely and strongly attractive they are to guys.
GUYS & GALS
GUYS & GALS
The signs of a stereotypical freshman female can be seen all around: skirts so short and tops so low-cut they could be cited for indecent exposure; noticeable experimentation to find out how far they can push their new-found drinking limits; and the facts that they just spilled their drinks on you and are obviously struggling to stay standing on their stiletto heels. They are easy to spot, and as the incoming classes become increasingly larger, it seems they are everywhere in masses.
they are everywhere I have been that girl in shiny stilettoes, embracing nearly every freshman stereotype my first year. But after a few years getting slightly older and wiser, you see your perspective changes.

in warranted and extreme.
While it is a societal standard that
I am not a guy, but the appeal of someone naive and young is understandable — not to mention that their tiny high school figures are not yet ruined by dorm food and binge drinking — but based on the behavior of men around them, targeting these girls is almost an obsession for some. The attention girls receive just for having freshman status is unwarranted and extreme.
older men may date younger women, the reverse is controversial. Think about it: You would not look twice at a freshman girl dating a senior guy, but the opposite would catch your eye.
for the rest of us non-freshmen, it seems we are missing some invisible vibe we once had. If we are in comparable or better physical shape, wearing clothing of equal appeal, but have realized our liquor limit, what is missing? Why do we suddenly feel like outcasts in places we used to fit so well?
in places we used to meet The mysterious appeal runs deeper than a certain look. It is more about attitude and a developed level of sensibility.
Older girls have been through the scene, played the games and seen the outcomes first hand. They are a challenge to men because they now hold higher standards than their predecessors.
My male peers say guys do not like to work hard at anything on weekends. They think simply and systematically: "I
do not want to go home alone, therefore I will pick a non-complex target."
This may seem like a fantastic temporary fix, but in less than 24 hours clarity may show both parties in a different light.
According to the Claremont Institute for the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy, "The truth is there are fewer 'right men' around these days—in part because of the ways women themselves have compromised their natural modesty and the inmost promptings of their hearts. Today's young woman is continually tempted to compromise her ultimate happiness for the temporary attention of an undependable male on his terms."
tble male on his terms. Thus, unless you are satisfied with unfulfilling and meaningless relationships, a self-respecting woman should seek a different approach.
If you on the lookout for Mr. Right, you are far more likely to find Mr. Right-Now in a bar. Should you be so lucky, first impressions are permanent. With your attire and way you carry yourself, you must strike a carefully balanced appeal with men. While you want to look flattering and beautiful, you must also appear respectable. A rule for assuring that you carry yourself with class: If you would not meet his mother in what you are wearing, the odds are you never will.

City's ban should go up in smoke

The hysteria over secondhand smoke is based on emotion not science. In 2002, the American Journal of Epidemiology published a study conducted by the School of Public Health-WHO Collaborating Center in Germany The 37-year study tracked 20,551 airline attendants exposed to secondhand smoke on airplanes for an average of 12 years.

Similarly, a secondhand smoke study of 118,094 adults followed for 39 years was published in the 2003 British Journal of Medicine and concluded that "the results do not support a causal relationship between environmental tobacco smoke and tobacco related mortality."
A more scientific approach than an all-out ban would have been installing air filters - highly effective at removing cigarette smoke. But what do expect from a city commission that has a formerly pony-tailed leftover hippie?
The study concluded that occupational causes including tobacco smoke don't

No one drives a car into a tree or picks up a case of the clap because they smoke cigarettes. The same cannot be said of alcohol. As vices go, smoking is an illogical scapegoat.
Anyone with an I.Q. above room temperature knows smoking can be harmful. But as marijuana legalization activist Peter McWilliams said, "There's a difference between what wise people do and what the law should say."
Smokers pay taxes on the cigarettes pay higher health insurance premiums and collect less in Social Security and Medicare benefits because they tend to die sooner. If adults want to assume the costs of their smoking habits, they should be allowed to.

Kansas court to look at school finance
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Despite differences in funding and academic achievement, the state is meeting its constitutional duty to provide students with an opportunity to learn, attorneys told the Kansas Supreme Court yesterday.
Supreme Court the state and the State Board of Education want the Supreme Court to overturn a lower-court ruling that Kansas spends too little money on its schools and distributes its dollars unfairly.
Administrators and parents in the Dodge City and Salina
school districts, who sued the state in 1999, contend the ruling should stand because evidence shows that the state's formula hurts poor and minority students.
But attorneys for the state told the seven justices that local school districts have the responsibility to spend any money they receive appropriately, and even districts critical of the formula provide a good education.
"The constitutional question is not whether more money can improve our schools," said Dan Biles, representing the State
Board of Education. "The constitutional question is not whether there are significant challenges."
challenges.
During the long-awaited hearing, lasting more than 90 minutes, the state and state board argued that a Dec. 2 ruling by Shawnee County District Judge Terry Bullock should be overturned.
Bullock found the school finance scheme was unconstitutional, ruling there was no rational basis for spending disparities among districts.
The Supreme Court could rule
as early as Oct.15, though many attorneys and education officials expect the court to take more time.
Biles argued that the plaintiffs cannot show beyond substantial doubt that the system is unconstitutional because the education those districts provide meet and even exceed standards set in state law and by the Board of Education.
EDUCATION The Dodge City and Salina districts pay higher teacher salaries than other districts and have "state-of-the-art" buildings, he said.

Second-toughest schedule ranking among Division IA schools
BY JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
Playing football in the Big 12 Conference is never easy.
Conference is never easy When you add non-conference foes who all played in bowl games, your schedule becomes even more challenging.
If coach Mark Mangino were to have his choice, his developing team would not face opponents from major conferences. He didn't have that luxury this year.
year "Tulsa and Northwestern were scheduled before I got here," Mangino said.
said:
He was a part to the selection of Toledo, although that was more of both teams being in need of an opponent.
Last season, Kansas needed to use its victory over Division-IAA opponent Jacksonville State to qualify for a bowl. NCAA rules state that a Division-IA program can only use a victory over a D-IAA school in its record once every four years.
NCAA rules also state that a team needs six victories in order to qualify for a bowl. With only 11 games this season, compared to 12 last year, Kansas had no choice but to take any D-IA school they could. The change from 12 games to 11 is a consequence of another NCAA rule, which states that 12 games can only be played in certain years.
years.
According to a foxsports.com ranking of the schedule strength of all 117 D-I schools, Big 12 strengths of schedule range from as high as No. 2 for Kansas to as low as No. 65 for Missouri.
"It's our hope that our non-conference schedule will give us the opportunity to gain experience and develop experience for the future," Kansas State coach Billy Snyder said.
Missouri Both Kansas State and Missouri fell in the bottom half, even though they play in a top football conference.
Kansas State's low ranking for its schedule strength helps it develop its less experienced players against weak non-conference opponents.
National and Big 12 schedule rankings
Foxsports.com ranked the strength of schedule of all 117 D-I football schools. They used a format in which they averaged the rankings of four news services together, and then attributed points from that score. The score was halved if the game is to be played on the road. Therefore, teams with lower aggregate totals have tougher schedules. Below is the strength of schedule of all Big 12 schools, as well as that of the teams with the toughest and easiest schedules, as well as their point total.
"Sometimes we can play younger people, people lower on the depth chart, so they have experience if someone is injured in bigger games," Snyder said.
Kansas won't have that opportunity. In addition to tough non-conference foes, the Jayhawks face a slate of Big 12 teams that include No. 2 Oklahoma, No. 7 Texas, No. 12 Kansas State and No. 18 Missouri, as well as Nebraska who just missed the AP Top 25 by 30 votes, coming in at 27.
Because of the Big 12 scheduling format, the Jayhawks do not have the lux

ury of playing Baylor.
Next year, they will face the same slate of Big 12 opponents, however NCAA legislation has been proposed which would allow 12 games in the future. Kansas also will have the opportunity to select non-conference opponents that are not as arduous.
Mangino, however, chooses to take a light-hearted approach to the difficulties his team will face.
"It's not like they're going to come out with guns," he said.

Originally from Tomsk, Russia, Kaun chose to leave his family behind and attend high school in the United States three years ago. It was his cousin Max who first graduated from the Florida Air Academy in 2001 and suggested he do the same.
"When he graduated, he asked me if I wanted to come over here, because it's a great school," Kaun said. "I just followed his footsteps."

Soccer defeats BYU in shutout victory

The only score of the game came in the 29th minute when sophomore defender Holly Gault charged from the defensive end of the field, took a pass from sophomore mid-fielder Nicole Cauzillo, and sneaked the ball past the goalkeeper.

The Kansas women's soccer team improved to 2-0 on the season, with a 1-0 victory over Brigham Young University yesterday in Provo, Utah.
Gault's score was the only one of the Jayhawks' 10 shot attempts to find the net, but the team had no problem holding on for the victory. The Jayhawk defense allowed eight shots on goal and cruised to their second-straight shut-out

"We had to use a lot of people off the bench in the second half, so our depth really helped us. This has been a great road trip, with us being able to go on the road and beat two quality teams."
The low scoring was partly caused by the adverse conditions of near 90 degree heat and a high altitude.

Basketball scrimmage shows team's potential
If you were not fortunate enough to attend the Kansas men's basketball scrimmage on Saturday at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center, you missed out on one hell of a show.
late Amner Bickert.
Ask yourself what the biggest weakness of last year's Elite Eight team was. If you're thinking David Padgett, you have a valid point. Padgett and the sparingly-effective Jeff Graves provided little assistance for Simien, but that was not the biggest problem. The problem was perimeter shooting.
Bill Self's squad, led by the senior class of Aaron Miles, Wayne Simien, Keith Langford and Mike Lee, battled along side and against freshmen Sasha Kaun, C.J. Giles, Russell Robinson, Darnell Jackson and Alex Galindo. Self's boys did not disappoint, as a crowd of 1,300 did everything to emulate Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks shot 33.5 percent from beyond the arc last season, ninth in the Big 12. But look for vastly-improved long-distance shooting from the entire team. Before you get excited about the long-range ability of sophomore J.R. Giddens, you may want to know that the best three-point shooter at Saturday's scrimmage was none other than Mike "All-World Sixth Man" Lee. Lee lit up the entire gym with his three-point magic. Not only does Lee have the potential to be the Jayhawk's best Sixth Man, but he could be a leading scorer and one of the key players for a run at the NCAA title.
When talking long range, don't count out the seniors. Langford has improved his shot every year, and Miles looked markedly better in all aspects of his game, especially in his shooting.
shooting.
I've mentioned five guys without a word about the freshmen and returning underclassmen. Robinson, Miles' expected backup at guard, will make his share of threes. Alex Galindo, a combo guard/forward, has one of the sweetest strokes I've ever seen. And at 6-foot-7, Galindo should shoot over almost anyone who tries to throw a hand in his face.
the freshmen were great, but after Lee and Giddens, the best shooter on the floor was sophomore Nick Bahe. Bahe opened the scrimmage by draining a three over sophomore Jeremy Case, and he continued to drain shots throughout the contest. As mentioned last week in The University Daily Kansan, Bahe may be a redshirt candidate for this season. I hope he's not.
Let's not forget about the backcourt play for Kansas. Simien returns healthy as a preseason candidate for almost every college basketball award out there. An injury-free Simien could mean huge things for the Jawhaws.
mean huge things to do.
The Hawks also have an interesting trio of freshmen post players in Kaun, Jackson and Giles. Each of these players is completely different from one anther. Kaun is a center with excellent touch and has the ability to use both hands around the basket. Jackson is a bruiser who should have no trouble fighting for position inside. Giles reminds me of Syracuse's Hakim Warrick with his wiry frame and long arms that should get him rebounds and blocked shots. I can't leave out last year's super substitute forward junior Christian Moody. Toss in much-improved junior Moulaye Niang, and the Jayhawk big men look as deep as the guards.
I'll tell you this much: Self's boys will be scary good this season. They looked faster, more athletic, more physical and a hell of a lot deeper than they did a season ago. This could be a very special season if all goes well in the heart of Jayhawk nation.

Rams' line struggles in loss
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Now that the curtain has fallen on right tackle Kyle Turley's season before it even began, Grant Williams and the rest of the St. Louis Rams' offensive line could find solace yesterday in at least one thing: One huge distraction down, one more to go.
In a preseason that has resembled a soap opera in terms of the Rams' blockers, the nagging question now is when, and if, five-
when, and if, I live time All-Pro left tackle Orlando Pace will end his holdout, perhaps even in time for the Rams' preseason finale Thursday at Oakland.
Stay tuned.
"Just from a team standpoint, it'd be nice to get what looks like would be the starting five out there for a quarter or a half against Oakland, just get some time together as a unit before we go into the season," Williams said yesterday, two days after the Rams placed Turley on injured reserve because of his ailing back.
Turley, among the NFLs steadiest linemen throughout his six seasons, started every game in 2003 after joining the Rams in an offseason trade with New Orleans.
But when he reinjured his surgically repaired back in late July and left training camp Aug. 1 to visit doctors, coach Mike Martz, already dealing with the no-show Pace, had to piece together an offensive line, even luring veterans Chris Dishman and Tom Nutten out of retirement.
retirement.
Martz waited for word from Turley on the prognosis about his back. Then on Saturday, a day after the Rams' offensive line held the Washington Redskins at bay in a 28-3 preseason victory, Martz finally declared Turley's season was history.
"I talked to Kyle today, and he was very vague about his plans," Martz said. When quizzed about the significance of losing Turley, he added without elaborating: "I'm happy with the guys we have."
Turley's agent, Tom Condon, did not return telephone messages left yesterday. Messages also were left with Pace's agent, Carl Poston.
agent, Carl Poston. So it goes in what a Rams staffer quipped yesterday was the latest in "As the World Turns," with Williams, a nine-year veteran filling in for Pace, perhaps playing Turley's role if Pace agrees to a one-year tender offer as the team's designated franchise player and returns.
"It'll be nice when he reports," said Dishman, a 350-pound guard nursing a right ankle he rolled in the first quarter against the Redskins, though he went on to play the entire game. "It'd be nice to get some work in with him. But his thing is his thing, and when he comes in he comes in."
Williams' advice to Pace: Get back sooner rather than later, certainly before the Rams' Sept. 12 opener at home against Arizona.

home against Arizona. "I know if I was in that situation I would want to play in the last preseason game and get ready for the season," Williams said, convinced Pace would benefit from getting some reps against Oakland.

Former NFL coach Bill Callahan coaches his first game for Nebraska against Western Illinois, which has
made significant changes to its staff.
"Now it's time to see what we can do," Callahan said.
He has replaced Nebraska's deliberate, power running game with a West Coast offense.
He said he has a good feel for his team's strengths, and believes sophomore quarterback Joe Dailley has a firm grasp on the pass-often system.
Stoops has White, who after having two seasons cut short by serious knee injuries, threw for 3,846 yards and a school-record 40 touchdowns last season.
"Now we have a guy coming back with a lot of experience. He's been able to go through everything. He's more prepared for the year."

Fans may not appreciate the hard work of the managers, but coaches and players do.
"They are the unsung heroes of the team," senior guard Mike Lee said. "They get no credit. No one sees all of the behind the scenes work that they do. All of us players notice, and really appreciate it."

Managers spend between 35 and 45 hours a week working for the team. On game days, they arrive two-and-a-half hours before tipoff.
"Before the game, we put the uniforms on their chairs, we fold towels, and we do laundry. We also get the court and benches ready, for both the Jayhawks and the opponents." Justin Bauman, head manager, said.
ON:
Bauman works with four other full-time managers: Shannon O'Connor, Tegan Thornberry, Steven Davis and Matt Wolfe. The managers arrive two hours early for each practice. Among other things, they make Gatorade, wash the players' uniforms, and make sure the balls have enough air.

Being a manager has benefits. Besides building lifelong relationships with players and coaches, managers get free gear.
"It's not a glamorous job on the surface, but while I've been here working with the team, we've gone to two Final Fours and an Elite Eight," said O'Connor.
Managers choose to be managers for different reasons. Most, however, want to someday end up as basketball coaches.
Lawrence Franks, a former manager for Bobby Knight at Indiana, became the interim head coach of the New Jersey Nets of the NBA in 2004, and proceeded to win his first 13 games as a head coach. Bauman
has similar aspirations.
"I want to someday be a Division I head coach, and what better way to learn, then from Coach Self, and the best coaching staff in America," Bauman said.
Coach Bill Self said this year's basketball managers are the best in the business.
The players consider the managers a part of the team, said J.R. Giddens, a sophomore guard.
If the team wins the national championship, not only do the players and coaches get rings, the managers do as well.

goodbye.
"I did it once during my first year, and the players requested them again. After that, I just started doing it every Tuesday, and here I am three years later, still doing it," said Thornberry.
"Not only do they help us out on the court, they help us off the court as well. The cookies are a bonus." Galindo said.
Alex Galindo, freshman forward, already noticed how valuable the managers are to the team.
To the players, the cookies are a perfect example of the little things that the managers do for them, and just like those cookies, a national title in April would taste real nice.

Former KU golfer gains professional status
BY ERIC SORRENTDING
eserrentino@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITER
For former Jayhawks golfer Tyler Hall, his Kansas days may be over, but his professional golf career is just beginning.
Thursday, Hall finished tied for fifth place at the Metropolitan Open at Hudson National Golf Club in New York. This tournament is considered by many to be the biggest open event in the Northeast, featuring players from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. By netting the fifth place spot, Hall also earned his first paycheck as a professional golfer.
Hall spent the majority of the summer playing golf in northeastern United States. He said it was different playing on his own than it was playing at Kansas.
"I would say my whole mental approach is totally different," Hall said. "I don't have any fears when I step out there. I'm very confident in my ability, and I'm not afraid of taking shots, making mistakes or doing well."
Hall played in several tournaments this summer. He said the highlight of his summer was the Western Amateur tournament at Point O'Woods Golf and Country Club in Benton Harbor, Mich. Hall was on fire, shooting two rounds of 65 and 71 to make the 36-hole cut. He kept his chances of victory alive by firing back-to-back rounds of 68 to make the 72-hole cut. Eventually, he was among the final 16 players, but lost to Ryan Moore of Puyallup, Wash. Moore was the 2004 U.S. Amateur champion.
Hall's other summer tournaments included a second-place finish at the New Jersey State Golf Association Amateur Championship in Morristown, N.J.
Gaining tournament experience is what Hall said he wanted to do over the summer, and among the things his success has earned him is recognition from golf-equipment manufacturer Titleist. Hall still uses the same Titleist clubs he had last spring at Kansas. Now his commitment
Hall mentioned that his signing with Titleist was a process. Titleist representatives recognized Hall's ability at Kansas and in New Jersey and offered him a spot on their staff.
to the brand is official.
Hall's current plan is to attend qualifying school in October in Scotsdale, Ariz. This will prepare him for his dream of qualifying for the PGA Tour.
"My ultimate goal is to get myself status on the PGA or the Nation Wide Tour," Hall said. "Awaiting qualifying school, I'll be playing on the Gateway Tour, along with Chris Marshall, who graduated a year before me."
Marshall played on the Kansas golf team from 1999-2002. Maintaining friendships with Kansas golfers like Marshall has been an extremely important part of Hall's life.
"All my best friends are at KU." Hall said. "People like Andrew Price, Kevin Ward and Gary Woodland are like my family out there."

Kaun: Competes for position
CONTINUED FROM 1B
Kaun also became a quick learner in the sport of basketball. As a 6-foot-10 high school sophomore, Kaun had never played the game and never intended on playing it when he came to the United States. Academy coach Aubin Goporo changed all that, teaching Kaun
the sport and helping him become a dominant inside player in just three years.
Now Kaun will continue his education in basketball at Kansas, competing against fellow freshmen Darnell Jackson, C.J. Giles, and returners Moulaye Niang and Christian Moody for the Jayhawks' only open starting forward position.
"We are all very close to each other, and I think everybody is good at what they do," Kaun said. "I think it will be a very interesting year. Everybody is going to compete against each other and it's going to make it even better."
Kaun, whose nickname "Sasha" is a shortened version of his Russian name, "Alekksendr", also gained valuable experience during the summer when he played pickup games against for-
ner Jayhawks and current NBA players Greg Ostertag and Scot Pollard. The forward said he learned he needed to work hard both on the court and in the weight room.
"I need to get stronger," Kaun said. "Those guys are really, really strong and are at a lot higher level than it was in high school."
Teammates have still been impressed with the 6-foot-11 forward's progression.
"Sasha is real strong and has great hands," said senior guard Mike Lee. "He's a big and wide force in the middle."
After numerous changes in the past three years, Kaun said he is enjoying the transition to life in a Kansas jersey.
"It's a lot easier here than it was back there where we had to wear uniforms," Kaun said.
