Newspaper in demand
Students could receive The Wall Street Journal
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGLIA
lfrancoviglia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The University of Kansas could be among one of the first universities in the nation to offer the The Wall Street Journal to all students, said Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president.
Dunlap, Leawood senior, presented a proposal to offer the Journal to KU students through the Newspaper Readership Fee.
That fee currently pays to bring the USA Today, The New York Times, The Kansas City Star, and The Lawrence Journal-World to KU students.
After the Newspaper Readership Committee's meeting last night, 675 paper copies and 675 online subscriptions may be available on campus beginning next semester. The online subscriptions could be available to students on a first-come, first-serve basis through Student Senate, Dunlap said.
The proposal still needs to be approved by the provost, administrators at Facilities and Operations and University Council.
Dunlap said he expected all parties to approve the contract with the Journal in time for the beginning of the spring semester.
Leo Khayet, Overland Park senior also presented the proposal to bring the Journal to campus. He said he had hundreds of tallies of conversations with students interested in it.
"There's an enormous demand, especially for business students," he said.
Business school students are practically required to buy subscriptions to the Journal for class, said Khavet, who
is a business student.
He also said he had spent two years negotiating with representatives from the Journal.
Funding to supply the newspaper to KU students will come from the readership fee, a required $5 per semester student fee.
By offering the Journal through the readership fee, the 400 students who currently subscribe to the paper will save $99.95 per year on subscriptions.
About $40,000 per year would be

Campus emergency blue phone usage increases despite cellular phone use

she began to pull me closer.
"I didn't know the person and I couldn't see his face, but he kept getting closer and then started yelling," the Wellington sophomore said. "I was scared. It was someone following me at night."
Beadles is not alone on campus when it comes to using the blue phones. The number of calls placed on the phones, which link directly to the KU Public Safety Office, has increased in the past two years.

She ran to a blue emergency phone and pushed the red button. In the seconds it took for a dispatch officer to respond, Beadles realized that she knew who her follower was: He was just a friend trying to get her attention.
An interior emergency phone serves as a direct line to the KU Public Safety Office
A total of 247 calls were made in the first ten months of this year; 37 of those in October alone. The trend is similar to that at other Big 12 schools. Even in an era when most students carry cell phones, they are
Beadles learned about the blue phones during a safety meeting last year at Corbin Hall. The meeting was held in response to a February 2003 incident where a man threatened a female student with a knife in the GSP-Corbin parking garage. Beadles used the blue phone in February after she had heard about this incident.
The blue phones are useful if they are used for the right reasons, she said. Beadles said that she had watched drunken people in the parking lot near GSP-Corbin lean against the phones and accidentally push the emergency button.

"I feel bad because I know people who push the button for no reason," she said.

Meredith McCarter, Lawrence freshman, said that she was not even sure where all of the emergency phones were. Still she said she felt safer just knowing that they were there.
Even though most students at the University have never used the emergency phones, they want them available. The phones serve as protection for students walking alone at night, Ramsi Lindgren said.
"I think they are necessary to have," the Topeka freshman said. "I'm just not sure how often they are used."
In 2002,160 calls were made from the emergency phones. Calls increased 46 percent in 2003, with 234 calls made.

Bracelets sell, help to fund scholarship

Matt Zenner wants to carry on his wife's legacy.
"I'm trying to set up to help people just the way Teri was," he said.
PETER DURAND
Teri Zenner was his wife, a University of Kansas graduate student and social worker, who was killed while visiting the home of a client in August. Now her
ZENNER
He said he didn't want people to avoid going into the field of social welfare because of what happened to Teri.
Zenner has already raised $5,500 from a bike rally on Nov. 12.
husband is in the process of creating a scholarship, the Teri Zenner Memorial Scholarship, for a master's student in the school of social welfare in Teri's name.
To help raise more money for the scholarship, he and his daughter came up with the idea of selling bracelets bearing the slogan "Teri Tough," a term he and his 9-year-old daughter coined to remind them of the way Teri would want them to be following her death.
He said he wanted to award the scholarship to a student annually, ranging from $1,200 to $1,500. He would like to award the first scholarship in fall of 2005.
Zenner has been selling purple rubber band bracelets with the slogan and two ribbons imprinted on them, but he said there was some concern with the writing rubbing off.
Now he has ordered 10,000 bracelets similar to Lance Armstrong's LiveStrong bracelet, only in purple and with the words "Teri Tough" imprinted on them. He will sell them for $2 each, he said, as opposed to the rubber band bracelet, which is available for $1.
He has already sold 2,000 of the Lance Armstrong-style bracelets, which should arrive next week.
Zenner is also selling car magnets to raise money for the scholarship, which are available along with the bracelets at www.terizenner.com.
Ann Weick, dean of social welfare, said she thought the scholarship was important because it helped preserve Teri's memory.
"She was a very courageous and bright social worker whose life was lost all too soon," Weick said.
She also said it was important because it would provide financial support for future students.
"It's still a field that calls many people to it." she said.
Zenner has also met with leaders such as Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (D-Kansas) and U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kansas) to push for laws to protect social workers.
"I'll rest peacefully when I know that social workers can go into a home and not worry about their own safety," he said.
Primarily, he said, he wants to make sure no family ever has to go through what he has.
"There's no words to even 10 percent describe what it's like," Zenner said. "I wouldn't even wish this for my worst enemy."

Former physician who ran for Senator in '70s to speak today
The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics is again serving up pizza with its politics.
Pizza and Politics will be at noon today at the Centennial room on the sixth floor in the Kansas Union. Pizza and beverages are on the Institute, said Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute.
The event is another way to get students involved with politics and the Institute.
Bill Roy, a retired physician, will be the guest speaker. Roy represented eastern Kansas in Congress in the early '70s. He came within one percentage point of unseating Bob Dole, former senator, in the 1974 election.
That was a hard year to run in Kansas or anywhere, for that matter, as a Republican, because Watergate was happening, said Jonathan Earle, associate director for the Institute. Dole was head of the Republican National Committee at the time, and even though he wasn't associated with Nixon or Watergate, some people still took it out on him, he said.
Roy ran for office as a Democrat although he had been a Republican before that, Earle said. One of Roy's 1974 campaign pamphlets is on display at the Institute.
Pizza and Politics is a periodic, bipartisan series offered by the Dole Institute.

numbers will go down or up," said Elizabeth Phillips, assistant director in the KU Public Safety Office.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office attributed the increase in calls to higher student awareness. His office has advertised the phones through the KU Public Safety Web site, wwwku.edu/-kucops/, student orientation and safety meetings in residence halls such as the one that Beadles attended.
Security officers check the phones once a week to make sure that they are working. Phillips said. She said these calls were not included in the above numbers. Dispatch officers receive calls from the blue phones for many reasons. Students have used the blue phones for car problems, needing directions and asking for an escort or taxi service. Crimes and emergencies are also reported, she said.
"We once had a student run out of a building that was on fire and use an emergency phone to report the fire," Phillips said.
"I'm a tiny girl and it's pitch black and I can't get into my car," O'Neil said into the emergency phone.
Nocturnal nightmare
Susan O'Neil, Overland Park sophomore, used a blue phone when she had car trouble last semester. She returned to her car after a night class to find her car alarm malfunctioning. It would not stop sounding for two hours, she said, and her key no longer unlocked the doors. She was scared and frustrated.
"I started crying because I didn't know what to do," she said.
The dispatch officer told her that if she wasn't blocking traffic, he couldn't help her. O'Neil was glad she had a cell phone. She didn't know who to call so she called her dad. He drove out from Overland Park to help his
daughter. Two police cars drove by while her father was working on the car but never stopped, she said.
Dispatch officers will not help students get into locked cars, Phillips said. Locks on cars have become more difficult to break into without damaging the car, she said.
"We are not professional locksmiths," she said. "But the officer should have offered to call her a tow truck."
The Public Safety Office does not have a breakdown of the kinds of calls readily available. Each report would have to be looked at individually. It would take several weeks to get that information, Phillips said.
At the University of Colorado the number of calls made has increased from 339 last year to 434 this year through October. The school has 60 outside emergency phones around campus. An estimated 5 percent of the calls made on these phones resulted in police intervention of a crime, said Lt. Tim McGraw of the University of Colorado Police Department.
Securing the Big 12
Iowa State University's 14 outdoor emergency phones received 517 calls last year. This year the number of calls is consistent with pervious years and is not increasing. For 9-1-1 calls, students are using cell phones instead, said Jerry Stewart, director of the Iowa State University Department of Public Safety.
The increase in calls can be attributed to six new phones being installed last year, but the calls made on the phones were not always for emergencies, he said.
"There are hundreds of false calls each year, which can be a bit of a nuisance," McGraw said. "But as a whole we view the emergency telephones as a viable asset."
"I cannot recall an instance where an outdoor emergency telephone was actually used to report a crime." he said.
be used to request escorts, Stewart said.
Using the emergency phones to request escorts is exactly what Capt. Troy Lane of the Kansas State University Police Department wants students to do. Kansas State has 32 outdoor emergency phones and encourages students and visitors to use the phones to ask for escorts, directions or to report an emergency. Lane could not give out the number of calls. The department no longer keeps those numbers, he said.
At the KU Public Safety Office, no one knows when the first phones were installed, but the original 12 emergency phones were on campus before 1978. That was when Phillips started working as a dispatch officer. She said that the phones were a good resource.
"The more eyes and ears you have the better." she said.
Instead the phones are more likely to
'More eyes and ears'
Phillips is now one of the people who oversees dispatch officers. A dispatch officer's duty is to answer calls made from the emergency phones along with calls from radio traffic, police security, fire safety and overflow calls from the county 9-1-1 center. Officers also answer emergency calls for the Parking Department and Facility Operations after 5 p.m. The calls can increase depending on what is happening on campus. The office can get up to 25 calls for one incident. Phillips said.
"You have to learn to prioritize," Phillips said. "It's stressful, but you have to answer all of the calls."
Courtney Kuhlen/KANSAN
YOKOHAMA YOKOHAMA YOKOHAMA
At least two officers answer the calls, but these days the Office has only one dispatch officer on duty at a time because it is short-handed.
Making cents of it all
Chris Janish, Wichita junior and chair of the Student Safety Advisory Board. He had proposed that the board put in a new emergency phone behind JRP Hall in response to vehicle vandalism earlier in the year. The board is asking for funding from Student Senate for the new emergency phone but has yet to figure out who will pay for the estimated $30 monthly phone line service fee.
The last emergency phone was installed in August 2003 at Eaton Hall, located north of Allen Fieldhouse. Information Services has instituted a new policy to pay for the phones. Now, if an office or department wants a blue phone in a certain location, it must pay for the installation and the monthly service fees along with any maintenance. Those departments - other than KU Public Safety - include the Parking Department, Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, Recreational Services, Watkins Memorial Health Center, Athletics Department and Hilltop Child Development Center. All the calls made on the blue phones are routed through the Public Safety Office, which has budgeted $11,988 for the emergency phones for the 2004-2005 school year.
Outdoor emergency phones are located in heavily populated and low-lit areas. The University has 47 outdoor phones.
"If it helps save one person or deter another from committing an act of violence against a person, it is more than worth it," Janish said. "Money should never be an issue when in contrast with safety."
This financial responsibility according to department was new to

Emergency routing problematic
BY NIKOLA ROWE
nrowe@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
This is a problem with using cell phones in an emergency, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office. But with the blue emergency phones students are a directly connected to the Public Safety Office.
Using a cell phone to call 9-1-1 can be unpredictable. The person making the call has no way of knowing which police department he or she will be connected with.
Until there's a national program to route 9-1-1 calls to the nearest police department, Bailey said, the best way on campus to call for help was to use the blue emergency phones.
But changes are in the works for emergency calls from some cell phones in Douglas County. Verizon Wireless is working on a request from county officials to update its emergency call service.
County officials requested in September that Verizon Wireless update the county to phase two of emergency call service.
There are three phases of emergency call service. Phase zero, which is where Douglas County is now, is when any police department can pick up a 9-1-1 cell phone call and no information about the caller is given to dispatch. Phase one is when the cellular tower site is provided and the cell phone number. Phase two includes phase one and a longitude and latitude within 100 meters of the caller.
Verizon Wireless will work with Douglas County and a third party vendor to be determined to get to phase two of services. All three parties will try to decide which police stations will receive emergency cell phone calls.
The upgrade is scheduled to be complete in March, said Cheryl Armbrecht, spokesperson for Verizon Wireless. "I wouldn't get rid of the emergency phones," she said. "I think they are still a good idea for more local situations."
Armbrecht added that if you are not near an emergency phone your cell phone will be good to use for 9-1-1 calls come March for Verizon Wireless customers.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Pres. Bushdoesn't represent interests of service personnel
Like most of his aristocratic class — with notable exceptions like John Kerry and Al Gore — and like Dick Cheney's middle class as well, he manipulated the system to avoid service in Vietnam, even though he (and Cheney) vocally supported the war.
Before it all fades into the sunset, I would like to make one last observation about George W. Bush. I speak as a Vietnam combat veteran, the father of an Iraq-bound serviceman and the son of working class parents — as are the vast majority of all Vietnam veterans. What I find even more appalling than Bush's Iraq, environmental and economic policies is his cynical pose as a straight-talking, steel-spined, shoot-from-the-hip, working-class hero.
Zach Stinson/KANSAN
Now Bush struts around like a cowboy hero promising to stay the course no matter what th cost to a new generation of working class sons and daughters. Sadly, even many Vietnam veterans bought into this phoney image. Most shameful of all were the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, who bolstered this bogus Bush by trashing the honorable service of one of their own because Kerry dared to criticize the war he served in as a tragic mistake.
Somehow a man who used his "fortuneate son" position to secure a safe haven from the jungles of Vietnam has become a hero in the eyes of many short-sighted Americans. I knew real heroes in Vietnam. Real heroes were my friends. George W., you are no hero.

Snuff out compromise proposal
The complaints about the smoking ban came, as we knew they would. And Lawrence city commissioners have been unable to snuff out the persistent, stinking fog of restaurant and bar owners asking for a compromise proposal. At a Nov. 16 meeting, representatives of Lawrence's hospitality industry proposed that smoking should resume in bars, restaurants and other public places.
COMMENTARY
To keep the public's health in mind, it proposed that the air quality levels would be tested with new, high-tech equipment annually to make sure that nicotine levels don't exceed proper air quality standards.
How sweet of them to think of their patrons' and employees' health.
The bottom line is always the main focus for a business, except when the public's health is concerned, apparently. The growth curve for Lawrence hospitality businesses may or may not be slower, depending on who you talk to, than years prior.
COMMENTARY
The Hereford House and the Meat Market restaurants are closing and Johnny's Tavern is in trouble. The owners blame the failures on the ban, while others say there are more factors.
While part of the problem could be the smoking ban, part of it could also be because of oversaturation of the market.
The oversaturation theory was mentioned by Dennis "Boog" Highberger, Lawrence City Commissioner, in a Lawrence Journal-World story, and it has been seconded by many.
Besides the fact that the restaurant business is extremely risky, did these owners ever stop and think that serving cheeseburgers and beer in a college town

In all actuality, smoking bans have not been shown to be bad for businesses. According to the American Lung Association, a study by the New York City Department of Finance, Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Department of Small Business Services and Economic Development Corporation, indicates that since New York City's smoking ban took effect March 30, 2003, business has increased for bars and restaurants, employment has risen, the number of liquor licenses has increased, and patrons and employees are being protected from secondhand smoke.
And a 2004 Zagat New York City Restaurant Survey reports that by a margin of about 6 to 1, respondents said they were eating out more often because of the city's smoke-free workplace policy. The survey also said the smoking ban had given restaurant traffic a "major lift".
If the New York City hospitality industry can thrive off of a smoking ban, so most certainly, can we.
ban. The Kansas City City Council voted last week to approve a limited smoking ban for restaurants, bars and other public places.
Students have a special stake in keeping the ban because we are most likely to work in the serving business. The restaurant industry employs about 12 million people, 57 percent of whom are under 30, according to the Restaurants USA publication.
Kansas City, Mo., has also enacted a
According to the American Lung Association, fewer than 13 percent of bartenders and 28 percent of waiters and waitresses have a smoke-free workplace. Second-hand smoke kills at least 38,000 people a year in the United States. Bartenders are the least protected, with less than 15 percent who work in places that restrict smoking.
To take a step backward and agree to the compromise proposal because of business owners' complaints would be counterproductive. Besides the serious health benefits of a smoking ban, there are others that are simply enjoyable. Our clothes and hair no longer reek after a night out. Cigarette burns on clothes and skin are a lot less common. Eyes and throats no longer burn.
Opponents of the ban say it is social engineering and that the government is meddling with the free market. Are they willing to sacrifice the health of their fellow citizens for a puff of carcinogens?
The real bottom line is that the smoking ban is about the health of patrons and employees, not about making money.

Evidence points to another killer, let falsely accused go
The West Memphis 3 recently made a legal breakthrough when Echols' lawyers filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to appeal their involvement in the savage 1993 murders of the three 8-year-old boys, Christopher Byers, Michael Moore and Stevie Branch. The West Memphis 3, all teenagers at the time of their convictions, were sent to jail mostly under the auspices of their anti-Christian nature and their status as community outcasts rather than any solid evidence.
While Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr. all fight their way through an expensive justice system to absolve themselves from their wrongful conviction, John Mark Byers somehow still remains free and unquestioned by local authorities in West Memphis, Ark.
Will the real killer of three Arkansas children please go on trial?
These convictions are the best — or
STEVE VOCKRODT opinion@kansan.com
STEVE SPEAKS
By now, several celebrities have taken up the cause in trying to free the West Memphis 3, including Henry Rollins, Eddie Vedder and Winona Ryder. But comparatively few are taking to the fight to place John Mark Byers on trial. The case isn't so much about the lack of evidence to convict the three, but the plentiful evidence that points directly to Bvers.

perhaps worst — examples of a verdict delivered from hearsay in the midst of the absence of direct or even circumstantial evidence.
Byers, incidentally is the stepfather
of one of the victims, and therefore was one of the bogus reasons that West Memphis investigators refused to question him, along with the fact that he was one of police department's drug informants.
Byers has no real solid alibi, and has changed it several times depending on the circumstances. The most of his alibis that can be corroborated place him near the scene of the crime — a heavily wooded area in West Memphis where the bodies were dumped — right around the time of the murders, but he was nowhere to be found directly at the time of the murders.
Much of the evidence exists right on the bodies of victims. The bodies were bitten several times, leaving impressions of teeth. One forensic expert testified in an appeal that the impressions did not match any of those convicted. It left questions directed toward Byers, but incidentally, he claimed he had recently lost all his teeth as the result of

According to the prosecution timeline, the three convicts had done the crime quickly and savagely. However, the precision involved in the castration was very specific and careful. Even one of the prosecution witnesses, the pathologist Frank Peretti, acknowledged that the process would require exact precision and plenty of time, two things the convicts didn't have in the narrow timeline in the dark woods the prosecution offered.

Furthermore, a knife was found in Byers' possession that contained blood of two different people. It matched him and his stepson.' His contradictory statements as to the purpose of that knife and how the blood got there is another worrisome aspect. Prosecutors resisted questioning Byers further, just like they have consistently resisted allowing further DNA testing to be done in the trials and appeals.
Now it is up to the defense to conduct these expensive DNA tests on their own bill. It appears that that these tests are on the horizon. They will likely absolve the West Memphis 3, which would be no surprise to anyone familiar with the case. But those familiar with the case, as well as anyone else, should be more interested in getting Byers on the stand to face the questions that point directly at him.

The commissioners seemed to
disagree. Individuals appointed to these positions donate a tremendous amount of their time and are often criticized no matter what they end up doing, said David Dunfield, city commissioner. Ermeling is not only capable of intellectually understanding planning issues but also emotionally fit to deal with the pressures of such a position, Dunfield said.
The recommended appointments still need to be approved.
The second item pulled from consent was the recommendation from Loring Henderson, director for Lawrence Open Shelter (LOS), requesting the shelter's permit be extended for
five years and the shelter be allowed to house 30 people. The shelter serves 20 people now.
Maria Martin, director for Downtown Lawrence, Inc., who requested the item be pulled from consent, asked for a deferral by the commission until the report from the Mayor's Task force on Homelessness was available for the public to hear. The report is still being completed.
Instead of granting the five years requested, the commission voted 4-0 to extend the use of the shelter for one year with a review at the end of that period.
Bush's cabinet shrinks again
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
- Edited by Ashley Bechard
WASHINGTON — Tom Ridge, the nation's first homeland security secretary, announced yesterday that he is resigning after three years of reworking American security and presiding over color-coded terror alerts. He's the seventh Bush Cabinet officer leaving so far.
Ridge oversaw the most significant government reorganization in 50 years. He'll be remembered for his terror alerts and tutorials about how to prepare for possible attacks, including the controversial "disaster kits" that caused last year's run on duct tape and plastic sheeting.
Amid warnings that the country may face increased terror risks around the holidays and the Jan. 20 presidential inauguration,
Ridge acknowledged he could not prove the costly and complex security measures that have been put in place have foiled any terrorist attacks inside the United States, but he said the country is safer today than before the suicide hijackings on Sept. 11, 2001, killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
"I am confident that the terrorists are aware that from the curb to the cockpit we've got additional security measures that didn't exist a couple years ago," Ridge told reporters at the department's Washington campus, which he helped create.
Ridge said he will remain on the job through Feb. 1, unless his replacement is installed sooner.
"His efforts have resulted in safer skies, increased border and
port security and enhanced measures to safeguard our critical infrastructure and the American public," Bush said in a prepared statement yesterday evening.
Ridge sent his letter of resignation to President Bush at midday yesterday, after attending a morning White House threat briefing with CIA and FBI officials. The former Pennsylvania governor thanked Bush for giving him the opportunity to fight back against terrorists. He recalled that the passengers on Flight 93 who forced their hijacked plane down in a Pennsylvania field had also fought back.
"There will always be more to do, but today, America is significantly stronger and safer than ever before," Ridge wrote Bush.
NEWSPAPER: Senate could make use of money
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
needed to cover the cost of having the newspaper on campus each year. Because Student Senate discovered a surplus of more than $60,000 per year generated by the fee, the committee decided to put the money to use by offering The Journal.
The benefits of offering the paper to KU students outweigh a 50 cent savings in students
fees, said Molly Kocour, committee chairwoman and Lawrence junior.
In addition to student copies, the proposal accounts for 70 free faculty subscriptions each year.
The committee decided tentatively to offer The Journal in kiosks at six locations on campus;
Summerfield Hall
Watson Library
Anschutz Library
Green Hall
Lewis Residence Hall
The kiosk in Summerfield would hold about 350 newspapers while the kiosks in other locations would hold about 65 conies.
Dunlap said because the newspaper would be in a higher demand among business school students, more copies should be offered in Summerfield.

Louisiana Tech recently announced its 2005 football schedule, and Kansas was listed as one of its nonconference opponents. The Jayhawks and the Bulldogs will meet on Sept. 17, 2005, in Lawrence.
The two teams have met only once before, on Sept. 26, 1987. Kansas lost that game in Lawrence, 16-11. The Jayhawks went just 1-9-1 that season, tying one game against Kansas State.
2005 KANSAS FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
Sources: KU Athletics Department, Florida Atlantic Athletics Department, Louisiana Tech Athletics Department
"We think this schedule will be more attractive from a competitive standpoint," Jim Oakes, Louisiana Tech athletics director, said.
Louisiana Tech, a member of the Western Athletic Conference, also has nonconference meetings with Florida of the Southeastern Conference and North Texas of the Sun Belt Conference.
The Jayhawks have two other nonconference games scheduled, one against Florida Atlantic on Sept. 3. The other is an open date on Sept. 10.
Before beginning its transition to Division IA, Florida Atlantic was a Division IAA team. The school has sponsored a football team since 2001.
Florida Atlantic will be playing its first year as a full Division-1A team as a new member of the Sun Belt Conference. While it has never been a member until now, Florida Atlantic played mostly Sun Belt teams this season. The Owls have accumulated an 8-3 record with one game left to play in the season.
Unlike this season, Kansas will play all three of its nonconference games at home. This is partially to fill the void created by the Kansas-Oklahoma game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. It also should provide the team with a less difficult nonconference schedule and boost the chances of the team becoming bowl-eligible, though Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, emphasized that Kansas wasn't looking for
Within that record, Florida Atlantic is 4-2 against the six IA and conditional IA schools it has played, with one remaining on its schedule.
"The schools that we're playing all have the potential to be as good as a Northwestern or a Toledo." Marchionny said.
weak opponents.
Mixed in with the Jayhawks' nonconference slate are the same teams they played in conference this season.
After playing Louisiana Tech at home, the team will have a bye week before going on the road to Texas Tech, K-State, Oklahoma at Arrowhead Stadium and Colorado. Six weeks will pass between Kansas' third and fourth home games.

The Jayhawks struggled to gain any consistency from the perimeter. In their first three games, they shot only 23 percent from beyond the three-point line. In last night's contest, they shot 59 percent.

Henrickson said she was hopeful that the Jayhawks could build on last night's shooting spree and continue to hit shots.
"It was nice to know that for our shooters, the rim looked like an ocean tonight," Henrickson said following her team's 67-44 drubbing of the Denver Ploneers. "It's looked a lot smaller than that lately."
"We shoot the ball too well in practice to have struggled like we have," Henrickson said.
Ironically, Henrickson said, they shot the ball very poorly in practice on Monday. Junior guard Erica Hallman said it was about time her team's shots went in during a game.

BOULDER, Colo. — Nine months after he was suspended by his own school, Colorado coach Gary Barnett was named Associated Press Big 12 Coach of the Year yesterday after leading his troubled program to the conference title game.
The Buffaloes (7-4) took the Big 12 North title by winning their last three games and getting
After starting 3-0 in nonconference play, Colorado lost four of five to start the Big 12 season and looked absolutely lost in a 31-7 loss to Texas. But Colorado rallied for a comefrom-behind 30-21 victory at Kansas, a 38-31 victory over Kansas State and a 26-20 win at archrival Nebraska last week.
One of the reasons for the team's drastic increase in its shooting percentage was its ability to run an offense. After breaking down last Saturday's game versus UMKC, Henrickson and her staff noticed a troubling but telling statistic. When the Jayhawks ran an offensive set, they shot 60 percent from the field. When they did not run a specific play or set, they shot a terrible 14 percent.
Colorado has posted a startling turnaround since the program was bit by a sex and recruiting scandal last spring.

a little help. They will play No.2 Oklahoma on Saturday for the championship.
SATURDAY
It took four games, but the Kansas women's basketball team found its shooting touch. A team that has averaged a dismal 37 percent from the field this season, the Jayhawks seemed to make almost everything they threw at the basket. They hit a season high 51 percent of their shots, including a sizzling 64 percent in the first half.
Men's Basketball vs. Pacific at 2 n
Shot selection was also a key, Henrickson said. Several times, the Jayhawks made the extra pass and didn't force a bad shot.
Women's hoops finally finds shot
from the field. Her 18 points led all players, and had she played more than five minutes in the second half, her numbers would have been even more impressive. Afterwards, even Kemp was pleasantly surprised with her effectiveness in the paint.
"I didn't go out there and expect to make almost every shot, but I'm glad I did," Kemp said
Finally.
"A good shot's not one that goes in, and a bad shot's not one that doesn't go in." Henrickson said. "A good shot is when no one on the floor has a better one. We took good shots tonight."
She shot seven-for-10 from the field.
"With the way we have been shooting in the last few games, we were due for a good game," Hallman said. "People got open looks and knocked them down."
Junior forward Crystal Kemp continued her dominance near the basket, going nine-for-10
The coaches impressed with the Jayhawks' ability to be disciplined on the offensive end.
"We were much more disciplined offensively," Henrickson said. "We made the extra pass and we were able to knock down the shots."
But even after a shooting performance like last night's, at least one Jayhawk couldn't wait to get back to work on being better. After everyone had left, senior guard Blair Waltz went back to the court with her dad to work on her free throw shooting.

Falling snow silhouettes two joggers as they jog through campus at about 5 a.m. yesterday. Snow fell during the brisk early morning hours and through most of the day, but there was little accumulation.
Self said that he wanted Simien and Langford each to shoot the ball between eight and 12 times a game. In the last two games combined, Langford has made just 15 total field goal attempts.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A
"We have to get Keith more involved and more active because he is a scorer, and he hasn't had as many opportunities," Self said "We need to get him some more shots."
The good news for Self is that with the way the Jayhawks have been playing, if one of the leading scorers doesn't score in double figures, another player has stepped up.
DEPTH: Miles gets relief from perimeter defense
If one of the leading scorers doesn't score in double figures, another player has stepped up.
Kansas' balanced attack isn't
limited to its offense. With the addition of Robinson and the three freshman "big guys" — forward Darnell Jackson and centers C.J. Giles and Sasha Kaun — the Jayhawks have been able to play tougher defense.
More depth at the guard position has given Miles a chance to catch his breath and provided Kansas with a defensive spark, Self said.
"Mike Lee and Russell off the bench has really helped our perimeter defense," Self said.
Miles said Robinson's role was important because it gave the opponent something extra to focus on.
"He helps me out a whole lot too," Miles said. "I know that if I get tired, he can come in and olay tough defense."
Kit Leffler/KANSAN
"We have to cut down on his minutes, and we will be more effective." Self said. "But the depth is helping."
Self said he thought Giles and Kaun had played well in the post but that Simien was still playing too many minutes.

BAUER: Jayhawks' 4-7 record is misleading
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A
How does it happen that the first-place team in the conference and the last-place team both outscore their opponents when playing within the conference? Good question, but it should make Kansas fans feel a little better about a seemingly poor season.
Of the Buffaloes' four victories and one loss in the North, the only loss was at the hands of the Missouri Tigers. Kansas proved to be much more than Mizzou could handle two weeks ago, yet the North champs fell to the team that the 'Hawks defeated with ease.
The three losses the Jayhawks suffered in the Big 12 North were never by more than nine points. That includes a loss to Nebraska Cornhuskus, a team that was heavily hyped after the
acquisition of former NFL coach Bill Callah during the off-season. The so-called football powerhouse of the North went a measly 5-6.
Just one year prior, Nebraska posted a 10-3 overall record, and still fell second in the Big 12 North behind Kansas State. The Wildcats fared even worse than the Huskers this season at 4-7 overall.
Do not translate this into praise for our football team or congratulations for it falling into the same losing pattern as the rest of their Big 12 North opponents. Rather, focus on the improvements the Kansas football team made in their conference this year.
For example, when the Jayhawks faced the Texas Longhorns this season, they practically had the game won before Texas grabbed a last-second touchdown to win 26-22. Colorado also faced the Longhorns this year, but hardly competed at Kansas' level, falling 7-31.
In another heartbreaking loss, Kansas let a 30-5 lead over Texas Tech slip away and lost to the Red Raiders by a single point. When Nebraska had its turn, Texas Tech whaled on the Huskers, 10-70.
Finishing a season 4-7 leaves little room for compliments, but taking a look back shows Jayhawk improvements, leaving its weakened conference wishing for the same.
A loss is a loss. But if the scoreboard reflects a team's ability to compete, then Kansas football is nothing to be ashamed of.

Louisiana Tech recently announced its 2005 football schedule, and Kansas was listed as one of its nonconference opponents. The Jayhawks and the Bulldogs will meet on Sept. 17, 2005, in Lawrence.
2005 KANSAS FOOTBALL SCHEDELE
"We think this schedule will be more attractive from a competitive standpoint," Jim Oakes, Louisiana Tech athletics director, said.
The two teams have met only once before, on Sept. 26, 1987. Kansas lost that game in Lawrence, 16-11. The Jayhawks went just 1-9-1 that season, tying one game against Kansas State.
Louisiana Tech, a member of the Western Athletic Conference, also has nonconference meetings with Florida of the Southeastern Conference and North Texas of the Sun Belt Conference.
Sources: KU Athletics Department, Florida Atlantic Athletics Department, Louisiana Tech Athletics Department
The Jahawks have two other nonconference games scheduled, one against Florida Atlantic on Sept. 3. The other is an open date on Sept. 10.
Florida Atlantic will be playing its first year as a full Division-IA team as a new member of the Sun Belt Conference. While it has never been a member until now, Florida Atlantic played mostly Sun Belt teams this season. The Owls have accumulated an 8-3 record with one game left to play in the season.
Within that record, Florida Atlantic is 4-2 against the six IA and conditional IA schools it has played, with one remaining on its schedule.
Before beginning its transition to Division IA, Florida Atlantic was a Division IAA team. The school has sponsored a football team since 2001.
Unlike this season, Kansas will play all three of its nonconference games at home. This is partially to fill the void created by the Kansas-Oklahoma game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. It also should provide the team with a less difficult nonconference schedule and boost the chances of the team becoming bowl-eligible, though Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, emphasized that Kansas wasn't looking for
weak opponents.
The schools that we're playing all have the potential to be as good as a Northwestern or a Toledo. Marchionny said.
Mixed in with the Jayhawks' nonconference slate are the same teams they played in conference this season.
After playing Louisiana Tech at home, the team will have a bye week before going on the road to Texas Tech, K-State, Oklahoma at Arrowhead Stadium and Colorado. Six weeks will pass between Kansas' third and fourth home games.

Henrickson said she was hopeful that the Jayhawks could build on last night's shooting spree and continue to hit shots.

Ironically, Henrickson said, they shot the ball very poorly in practice on Monday. Junior guard Erica Hallman said it was about time her team's shots went in during a game.

BOULDER, Colo. — Nine months after he was suspended by his own school, Colorado coach Gary Barnett was named Associated Press Big 12 Coach of the Year yesterday after leading his troubled program to the conference title game.
It took four games, but the Kansas women's basketball team found its shooting touch. A team that has averaged a dismal 37 percent from the field this season, the Jayhawks seemed to make almost everything they threw at the basket. They hit a season high 51 percent of their shots, including a sizzling 64 percent in the first half.
The Buffalooes (7-4) took the Big 12 North title by winning their last three games and getting
After starting 3-0 in nonconference play, Colorado lost four of five to start the Big 12 season and looked absolutely lost in a 31-7 loss to Texas. But Colorado rallied for a comefrom-behind 30-21 victory at Kansas, a 38-31 victory over Kansas State and a 26-20 win at archrival Nebraska last week.
Colorado has posted a startling turnaround since the program was hit by a sex and recruiting scandal last spring.
a little help. They will play No. 2 Oklahoma on Saturday for the championship.
One of the reasons for the team's drastic increase in its shooting percentage was its ability to run an offense. After breaking down last Saturday's game versus UMKC, Henrickson and her staff noticed a troubling but telling statistic. When the Jayhawks ran an offensive set, they shot 60 percent from the field. When they did not run a specific play or set, they shot a terrible 14 percent.
SATURDAY
The school suspended Barnett over comments he made related to the controversy. Athletics director Dick Tharp resigned and the school made sweeping changes to its football recruiting

Shot selection was also a key, Henrickson said. Several times, the Jayhawks made the extra pass and didn't force a bad shot.
from the field. Her 18 points led all players, and had she played more than five minutes in the second half, her numbers would have been even more impressive. Afterwards, even Kemp was pleasantly surprised with her effectiveness in the paint.
"I didn't go out there and expect to make almost every shot, but I'm glad I did," Kemp said
Women's hoops finally finds shot
Men's Basketball vs. Pacific at 2
She shot seven-for-10 from the field.
"With the way we have been shooting in the last few games, we were due for a good game," Hallman said. "People got open looks and knocked them down."
"A good shot's not one that goes in, and a bad shot's not one that doesn't go in." Henrickson said. "A good shot is when no one on the floor has a better one. We took good shots tonight."
Junior forward Crystal Kemp continued her dominance near the basket, going nine-for-10
The coaches impressed with the Jayhawks' ability to be disciplined on the offensive end.
"We were much more disciplined offensively," Henrickson said. "We made the extra pass and we were able to knock down the shots."
But even after a shooting performance like last night's, at least one Jayhawk couldn't wait to get back to work on being better. After everyone had left, senior guard Blair Waltz went back to the court with her dad to work on her free throw shooting.

"He helps me out a whole lot too," Miles said. "I know that if I get tired, he can come in and play tough defense."
"We have to cut down on his minutes, and we will be more effective." Self said. "But the depth is helping."
Self said he thought Giles and Kaun had played well in the post but that Simien was still playing too many minutes.

BAUER: Javhawks' 4-7 record is misleading
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A
How does it happen that the first-place team in the conference and the last-place team both outscore their opponents when playing within the conference? Good question, but it should make Kansas fans feel a little better about a seemingly poor season.
Of the Buffaloes' four victories and one loss in the North, the only loss was at the hands of the Missouri Tigers. Kansas proved to be much more than Mizzou could handle two weeks ago, yet the North champs fell to the team that the 'Hawks defeated with ease.
The three losses the Jayhawks suffered in the Big 12 North were never by more than nine points. That includes a loss to Nebraska Cornhuskers, a team that was heavily hyped after the
acquisition of former NFL coach Bill Callahan during the off-season. The so-called football powerhouse of the North went a measly 5-6.
Just one year prior, Nebraska posted a 10-3 overall record, and still fell second in the Big 12 North behind Kansas State. The Wildcats fared even worse than the Huskers this season at 4-7 overall.
For example, when the Jayhawks faced the Texas Longhorns this season, they practically had the game won before Texas grabbed a last-second touchdown to win 26-22. Colorado also faced the Longhorns this year, but hardly competed at Kansas' level, falling 7-31.
Do not translate this into praise for our football team or congratulations for it falling into the same losing pattern as the rest of their Big 12 North opponents. Rather, focus on the improvements the Kansas football team made in their conference this year.
In another heartbreaking loss, Kansas let a 30-5 lead over Texas Tech slip away and lost to the Red Raiders by a single point. When Nebraska had its turn, Texas Tech whaled on the Huskers, 10-70.
Finishing a season 4-7 leaves little room for compliments, but taking a look back shows Jayhawk improvements, leaving its weakened conference wishing for the same.
A loss is a loss. But if the scoreboard reflects a team's ability to compete, then Kansas football is nothing to be ashamed of.

SYSTEMS ANALYSIS
The following systems are described. Each system is composed of at least two subsystems, and each subsystem consists of a number of elements. The elements in each subsystem can be either real or virtual.
**1. Real Systems**
Real systems are represented by mathematical equations and diagrams. They are often used to model complex processes and phenomena. Real systems can include physical systems (e.g., water flow in a pipe), computational models (e.g., neural networks), and simulation-based systems (e.g., computer simulations).
**2. Virtual Systems**
Virtual systems are represented by abstract mathematical models that simulate real-world systems. They are often used to model complex processes and phenomena. Virtual systems can include physical systems (e.g., water flow in a pipe), computational models (e.g., neural networks), and simulation-based systems (e.g., computer simulations).

Basketball improves to 3-1
Jayhawks defeat Denver, 67-44
BY PAUL BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITER
For the program's 600th all-time victory, this year's edition of the Kansas women's basketball team posted a dominant showing reminiscent of the Jayhawk teams of the past that produced many of the first 599.
In last night's 67-44 victory against Denver (0-3), Kansas improved to 3-1 and showed the potential of their developing offense, hitting 51 percent of its shots from the field.

Junior forward Crystal Kemp led the way with 18 points on a nearly flawless 9-10 shooting performance. Junior guard Erica Hallman followed close behind, scoring 17 points and running a smoother offense than in previous outings, recording five assists and only one turnover.
"I think she is making good decisions in the half-court offense," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "I thought her shot selection tonight was very good."
Hallman also showed her marksmanship by nailing seven of 10 shots, including three out of four from the three-point line.
"The last two games I've been struggling," Hallman said. "It's good to kind of get a rhythm back."
Kansas closed the half on a run that produced a commanding 41-15 advantage at the break.
Everything seemed to be falling in for the Jayhawks during the first 20 minutes as they scorched the nets with 16-25 first half field-goal shooting. Kansas sharpshooter also hit 6-

Clutch shots with the shot clock winding down bailed the Jayhawks out on several possessions in the first half. Henrickson noted that part of the team's scoring efficiency was due to simply running the offense better in these stages than in the previous games.

"I think we are a much better team offensively when we have a feel for screens, which lead to open shots," Henrickson said.
The big lead allowed Henrickson the luxury to sit key starters in the second half, which provided much-needed rest for a Kansas team that lacks depth. The Jayhawks are in the middle of a grueling nine-day stretch that includes four games and ends on Sunday at No. 18 Minnesota.
"I think it's big for us," Henrickson said of the ability to rest players. "As a staff we want that to happen, but there was no guarantee."
Kemp played only five minutes in the second half, and Hallman and senior guard Aquanita Burras played only seven minutes. Junior guard Heather Hayes also saw her first action as a Javhawk.
Kansas next takes on Washburn at 7 p.m. Thursday at home.

Depth and balance to improve 'Hawks
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Cindy Yeo/KANSAN
Kansas' last two victories have been by a combined 73 points. Lopsided scores are welcome imbalances for the Jayhawks' winning record. But when it comes to shot selection and playing time, Kansas coach Bill Self wants to alive the team more balance.
"When I say balance, Wayne [Simien] needs to take the most shots, and Keith [Langford] needs to take the second most shots." Self said. "We need to figure out how are we going to score if Keith and Wayne don't."
During Monday's game, Simien and Langford combined for 26 of the Jayhawks' 85 points, but the team also got 13 points each from freshman guard Russell Robinson and sophomore
guard J.R. Giddens.
Self said he was impressed with the play of the Jayhawks' bench. All 14 players on the Kansas roster played in the game. Nine players contributed more than 10 minutes and eight scored at least five points.
He said he wanted the team to create opportunities for its best players but also to be able to score when its best players had off nights.
Simien and Langford combined for 24 points a week ago against St. Joseph's, but Simien scored 20 of those points. Senior guards Mike Lee and Aaron Miles were able to pick up Langford's slack, however, combining for 24 points, providing balance to the Jayhawk lineup on a bad night for Langford.

Soccer coach looking to build on success
BY KELLI ROBINETT krobinett@kansan.com KROBINETT SANPS SWITWRITE
The Kansas women's soccer team is coming off its best season in University history. The team won its first Big 12 Championship and earned the eighth overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. Mark Francis was named Big 12 Coach of the Year, four players were All-Big 12 first队 selections, and nine others received Academic Big 12 honors. In a phone interview, Francis shared his thoughts on the past season and what is up next for the Jayhawks.
PETER WILSON
A: I think it was good. It was an excellent season. It finished earlier than we wanted to, but things like that happen. We did a lot of things we hadn't done before. Winning the conference and being ranked in the top 10 most of the season were both firsts. The tournament was a little disappointing, because we didn't go further.
Q: What are your thoughts on the season now that it has been over for a while?
FRANCIS
Q: Do you ever think that could have been Kansas when you watch a lower ranked team in your own region, like Santa Clara, knock off North Carolina and get to the Final Four?
A: I don't know. If I knew that, maybe we'd still be playing. We were playing some better teams. Three of those were in one game. Texas was maybe the best offensive team we played all year. That doesn't come as
Q: Your defense didn't allow more than one goal in a game in the regular season, but in postseason play, opponents scored seven goals in four games. What was the difference?
dwell on that too much though. We just have to look forward to next year so it doesn't happen again.
A: Sure. We can't
too much of a surprise to me because they're good up front. Not much you can do about it now.
A: I would say winning the conference. That was a big accomplishment.
Q. What was your favorite moment from this season?
A: Those guys were a great group. I was real disappointed for those guys. You know, I felt like we were good enough to go further. They'll never get another shot at it. That was probably the hardest part, for those guys. They'll graduate doing a lot of things the program never did before, so I think they should be happy about how things went.
Q: What will you miss most about your senior class?
Q: How proud does it make you feel when you have several players receive academic awards to go along with on-field success?
A: They are all students first. It is great, especially with the season they
have in the fall. It's remarkable that they can keep up their grades like that. It's a great reflection of the program.
Q: How has your recent success affected recruiting?
A: It's affected it. We're recruiting better players now, players of the quality that will help us continue to get better. It's had a good effect on our recruiting so far.
Q: What is your off-season schedule like?
A: Right now they're lifting, because that's all they can do. Spring season will start in February. We will practice just like we do in the regular season. Then we will play games. We have five dates to play against other teams.
Q: How excited are you about next year?
A: We've got a great group coming back, and we've got a great group coming in. We'll be young, but we'll also be very talented.

Jayhawks' 4-7 record still worth considering
There is a promising basketball team to watch, and who would want to think back on such a dismal football season, anyway? Right?
Football season is now behind us and a bowl game no longer a possibility.
We have time to reflect on the season, but the 4-7 Jayhawk football season is but a distant memory now that basketball season is in full swing.
The Big 12 North champions, the Colorado Buffaloes, claimed the conference title with 7-4 overall record and a 4-4 conference record. Even with an embarrassing 2-6 conference record, the Jayhawks were separated from the head of the North by only two games.
As sad as 4-7 may sound, Kansas football does not seem so pathetic when put into context of those around them. The entire Big 12 North this season was a drastically weakened subdivision.
Wrong.
Colorado held the top spot and Kansas shared the bottom, but with whom? None other than last year's Big 12 North champs: Kansas State.
Even more interesting is the fact that against Big 12 North opponents, Colorado went 4-1, outscoring opponents 122-103. Kansas posted a 2-3 Big 12 North record, also outscoring their opponents, 99-98.
The Wildcats, who upset the then-undefeated Oklahoma Sooners in the Big 12 Championship game, could scrape together no better than two conference victories this season as well.

Senate examines hall parking
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2004
www.kansan.com
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGIA
francovigia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
According to one student senator, 24 hour restricted parking spaces at the University of Kansas are underused.
Angela Raab, residential senator, raised the concern because she wants Senate to bring the underused lots to the attention of the Parking Commission at its Dec. 7 meeting.
Student Senate agreed with Raab, passing a resolution in support of more student parking at last night's meeting.
SENATE
one community, many voices.
Members of the Residential Housing Advisory Board conducted a study of 30 spaces in Lot 102, a lot for employees at Mrs. E's located west of Lewis Hall, Raab said.
Members of the board took pictures 12 days between Nov. 1 and Nov. 18, she said, to illustrate how many spaces went unused by employees daily. Raab did not know the number of unused spaces.
In the past, the Parking Department has attempted to make lots available at night or on the weekend, as long as students move their cars out of the restricted lots by 7 a.m.
Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president, doubted the resolution would have much of a chance. Dunlap, who has sat on the Parking Commission for three years, said students generally didn't move their cars before 7 a.m. Moreover, the workers, who the spaces are intended for, can't park if the spots are filled, Dunlap said.
Any amendments to the parking situation will have to wait until the Parking
The consultant would help plan the parking situation at the University for the next decade or longer, Dunlap said. He said the results would be in-depth and would affect every facet of parking at the University.
Commission receives the results from a consultant. The commission expects to review the results at the next meeting or the January meeting, Dunlap, Leawood senior, said.
Raab said she would be satisfied with any changes that would open spaces, if only for a few hours at night or on the weekends.
In other legislation:
Senate passed a resolution supporting the concept of guaranteed tuition rates. A guaranteed tuition rate would allow entering freshmen to pay the same tuition rate for four years. The resolution is not a proposal for guaranteed tuition rates but rather supports pursuing a rate beginning in 2007, after the five-year tuition enhancement plan is finished. Senate will send the resolution to administrators.

"We want to be a safe place for people to learn." Hays said.
The library has about 2,000 books and magazines on topics ranging from anarchy to race and gender.
Hays said the library also served for a gathering and meeting place for several community groups, such as a prisoner support group, a labor union and an anarchy study group.
Her favorite item in the library is a signed copy Transgendered Warriors by Leslie Feinberg, which she has read multiple times.

On Oct. 30, Grant Reser threw an end of chemo-Halloween-late birthday-full moon party. There was a bonfire, plenty of food and a keg, and everyone was dressed as a superhero. Grant dressed up as a character from the He-Man cartoon.
He didn't want anyone to "wuss

One adjective that describes Grant the best is "fun-loving." That's how others who knew Grant remember him, too.
YOU ARE MY FAVORITE MAN. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.
RESER
He was a senior at the University of Kansas, double-majoring in communication studies and English, Greg Reser, Grant's father, said. He wanted to continue his work with transplant and organ donation organizations after he finished school.
tor, died on Saturday after battling an infection caused by Burkitt's Lymphoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer often referred to as B-cell lymphoma or leukemia. Reser was diagnosed with Burkitt's in February 2004.
When he was 3, Grant became the first child in Kansas and 12th in the world to receive a pediatric heart transplant. He received a kidney transplant in 2001.
One of Lacey Tramill's most vivid memories was of Grant having surgery on the last day of Tramill's senior year at Washburn Rural High School, where they went to high school. His family received the call about the transplant and they all went to the hospital, she said. Tramill, Topeka junior, kept calling from school to see how he was doing. The best part, she said, was being able to see him at the end of the day.
Grant was a founding member of Topeka Organ Transplant Organization and Kansas City Heart Line, a support group for patients waiting for or who had had a heart transplant, and their families. He participated in the World Transplant Games in 1993 and the U.S. Transplant Games in 1994, 1996 and 1998.
One of the things Tramil will miss the most is Grant's humor.
He loved laughing and one of his favorite movies was The Royal Tenenbaums. He joked around with everyone, she said.

Last year more than 200 KU students volunteered for the holiday party and with wrapping all of the presents.
The children's holiday party is an annual tradition for the student volunteer group. Every year, NBC's Today Show sponsors the party. This year the show donated $10,000 to buy gifts for the children. Other donations came in from Coke, the Kansas Union and Hy-Vee. The party is open to any one who wants the join in giving presents and participating in craft projects and games.
The student group is still looking for volunteers for the party. Volunteers do not have to stay for the entire program and are encouraged to bring ideas for craft projects.
More than 45 students participated in wrapping presents Tuesday night. The wrapping will continue from 6 to 8 tonight on the third floor of the Kansas Union. The group will be meeting near the big screen TV.
"We are all excited for the party," File said. "It is a way to end the semester on a positive note."
CCO is a student-run and student-funded organization on campus. It was created by Student Senate in 1990. Today the group helps more than 7,000 students by placing them in volunteer opportunities through 14 programs and partnerships with campus and community agencies.

University image overhaul on its way
DAK
Logo and colors stay the same, but other school images to change
9 5.

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
The University of Kansas should be one step closer to a new image tomorrow.
David Johnston, director of marketing, spoke with staff about the Visual Identity element of the University's overall Integrated Marketing Plan yesterday. Johnston said the approval of the Visual Identity creative brief should be finished tomorrow.
The creative brief is a statement of what the Visual Identity will need to communicate or say about the University.
A variety of images exist for the University, but they sometimes convey different messages, Johnston said. In a recent survey the team conducted, the University seal was associated with the words "tradition," "official" and "confusing." The Jayhawk elicited "athletics," "fun" and "bride."
Apart from the different icons, there are also many different typefaces, typographies and even color palettes associated with the University, Johnston said.
Examples include different color athletic jerseys and inconsistency using fonts and word ordering such as The University of Kansas, University of Kansas and Kansas University.
The approval of the brief will signal the end of the first of three phases that the Visual Identity Team will undergo as part of the overall Integrated Marketing Plan, Johnston said.
The first phase included researching for the visual identity. The second phase will involve exploring all the options and creating the new identity, and the third phase will involve implementing the new identity into the University community.
The Visual Identity Team's goal is to develop and implement an effective image for the University.
Related goals for the team include enhancing the image, reputation and visibility of the University in a way that differentiates it from rival universities.
The team also plans to provide a "toolbox" of guidelines that will arm faculty and staff with the tools — logos, templates and training — to implement the new identity in their departments and offices, Johnston said.
Johnston also calmed fears about the Jayhawk and detailed other changes.
The Jayhawk, Seal and traditional KU colors will not change and the Campanile will not be the new logo, he said. Some changes might be made in University departments or units.
Steps the team will undergo include: exploring the new identity as a typography and symbolic mark, exploring complimentary typefaces, creating a visual identity system of standards, and a plan for implementation and transition.

at Austin and Arizona State University were among the schools studied.
Some of the challenges the team faces are ensuring that the new visual identity communicates academic quality and that individual units can retain individuality while incorporating the new identity, Johnston said.
Alexis McKinley attended the forum and said the main challenge would be for the University to get all the different groups on board. They will have to work to allow people to incorporate individuality into the new identity, said McKinley, program coordinator of the University's Italy program.
With integrated projects like this, there needed to be support from the top. Johnston said. Thankfully, the University had the support of the chancellor and the Senior Marketing Team, he said.
There's a lot of apprehension about what might go away in transition, Hazlett said.
It was good to get clarification that the Jayhawk and other things aren't going to change.
For Leslie Hazlett, a fellow Italy program coordinator, the forum eased her mind about the changes.
"I feel like we're in good hands." Hazlett said.

Campus A/C units irk city residents
Candice Davis' appreciation for the holiday season is different than many Lawrence residents'.
For Davis, an Oread neighborhood resident, the holiday is a welcome relief from a summer sound: a constant droning coming from the northwest side of GSP-Corbin Hall.
The noise started in April 2001, said Davis. From her home at 947 Louisiana St., she hears the droning about six months of the year — during late spring, summer and early fall.
The noise is a high-pitched droning sound that comes from the chiller, said Jim Modig, director for Design and Construction Management at the University of Kansas. The chiller produces the cooled liquid that provides air conditioning for the entire residence hall, said Modig. Neighbors' complaints have caused a series of repairs, and residents hope the last repair will be the final.
The decibel level was tested and the loudness of the noise was found to be within acceptable range, Modig said. It is the frequency or pitch that's the problem, kind of like fingernails scratching on a chalkboard, he said.
Davis doesn't open her bedroom windows during the summer anymore due to the constant sound. The sound, as demonstrated by Davis in her living room, is a high-pitched humming. With the windows shut and the fan on, the noise is lighter, Davis said, but she can still hear it. Davis' house is about 150 to 200 feet from the chiller.
The same type of chiller was installed at four other locations on campus: the west side of Summerfield Hall, Memorial Stadium, Hilltop Child Development Center and on the roof of JRP Hall. The problem is not caused by the manufacturer, because the five chillers come from four manufacturers, Modig said. The specific type of chillers chosen by the University is more energy efficient than other types, but with the efficiency comes some noise, he said.
Web Golden has a similar
problem to Davis', but his is with the chiller on top of JRP
"The sound seems to follow a line of sight." Golden said.
And Golden's house, 1132 West Hills Parkway, is within that line of sight.
It's hard to play and listen to music in the house, Golden said, because the background noise from the chiller is so loud. He used to be able to hear the stream in the backyard trickle, but the noise has made the stream inaudible.
The University would be looking at spending at least $180,000 to replace the entire chiller to get rid of the noise. Modig said.
In spring 2003, a concrete block wall was built around the GSP chiller to reduce the noise, but the south side, which faces the parking lot and garage, was left open for maintenance access, Modig said. When the chiller was turned back on for the second summer, the noise was actually louder than it had been without the acoustical wall, he said.
The manufacturer blamed the acoustical wall for the noise because there was not enough air circulation around the chiller, Modig said. That claim was tested by an unidentified third party and found false.
The complaints about the noise started almost right after the chiller was turned on for the first time, Modig said. But the problem might be fixed, now.
In summer 2004, the chiller was found to have a faulty pressure sensor, Modig said. It was also thought that too much refrigerant had been added to the chiller in late 2003 by a contractor, he said. To fix it, the volume of refrigerant in the chiller was lowered and a pressure sensor replaced.
"We're just waiting for summer," he said about whether the noise problem would be fixed. August and September turned out to be not as warm as expected, so the chiller could not be tested again.
The chillers are usually turned on about April 1, but if temperatures warm up earlier that date may change, Modig said. Design and Construction Management is evaluating the problems with the other four chillers.

EDITORIAL BOARD

Coverage of ban led readers astray
That pesky smoking, ban just keeps causing problems.
"Liquor revenue increases, Smoking ban doesn't hurt sales," published in the Kansan on Friday. Nov. 12, addressed the recently passed smoking ban in Lawrence. The article stated that despite the ban on smoking in public businesses, revenue is not down. Specifically, it the article reported that tax dollars collected from sales of liquor in restaurants and bars was up 0.9 percent.
However, the story did not end there. As diligent readers discovered upon finding the second half of the story buried on the corner of page five, per capita sales actually decreased. Both the population of Lawrence and the number of bars increased during the time cited in the 0.9 percent increase.
According to the Kansas Licensed Beverage Association, an increase in sales of 8 percent would have been on par for Lawrence before the smoking ban.
What does this mean? There are two issues here. First, the smoking ban seems to be having a stronger impact on businesses than its supporters initially would have thought.
As bars sell less alcohol to customers, they are forced to raise prices. Bars end up selling fewer drinks for the same amount of money, which eventually leads to more customers staying home. While this results in a decrease in the business the bar ultimately does, the numbers are temporarily
The editorial board does not disagree with the smoking ban. In fact, many of us are still supporters. However, it is important for voters to know what is happening as a result of the ban. The lack of fair attention paid to this issue is unacceptable, and must stop.

inflated by the increased prices and taxes collected. In effect this problem has been hiding itself.
When media outlets such as the Kansan publish articles with headlines claiming the smoking ban does not hurt sales, how is the public supposed to understand the real happenings of this issue? It is the job of the media to provide disinterested and fair reporting of the issues, which has not happened up to now.
It is important to note that for all businesses affected by the smoking ban, an 8 percent increase in sales would have been necessary simply to keep sales level. Although the pure dollar amount of liquor sales increased, the overall business did not.
The second issue here is the media's coverage of this subject. Many voters were conflicted when voting on this issue. While nonsmokers in Kansas far outnumber smokers, many voters were hesitant to vote for the Lawrence ban. It's main opposition came from the very businesses that are losing business since its implementation. They cited that they would lose business, just as it appears that they now are.

Conservative tsunami rampant
So we've had about a month to digest the consequences of the November election. Conservatism is spreading its "mandate" across the canvas of American politics.
COMMENTARY
But I would like to deliver a message to a particular category of KU students
— those who have or will become conservatives as a result of the 2004 campaign and election. I want to offer a brief historical journey through the ideologies you have adopted, should you choose to ride the conservative tsunami ripping across our country.
SEAN PAUZAUSKIE
opinion@hansan.com
Your first stop: Jan. 22, 1973. On that day, Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion, became federal law. Your president now wants you to embrace his so-called "culture of life," a catch phrase he borrowed from Pope Paul II. But before you throw down, bomb a clinic or disown a friend for having an abortion, think about the U.S. Constitution.
Ask yourself this: Do you think that outlawing abortion takes away a woman's jurisdiction over her own body, even if you think abortion sends her straight to hell? Does a woman have the right to choose her own moral and spiritual fate?
In America, we value freedom over equality, but one historical trend still stands against your blameless conservatism: the wealthy can find ways to make money and keep it only as long as people are happy and the economy is good. But with rising poverty levels, vast public gaps in health insurance, and disestablished public education (Bush has already kicked 2 million kids out of their after-school programs), nothing can protect us from a rising crime rate and the decav of the American economy.
Let's make a pit stop for guns. Your conservatism did nothing to stop semi-automatic assault rifles, like Uzis, from trickling back onto the streets. Enough said.
Next stop: May 23, 2003. The second major Bush tax cut, which gave half the $90 billion gains to the top one percent of taxpayers, became federal law on that day. The United States comprises five percent of the world's population and possesses 25 percent of the world's wealth. If that seems unjust, consider another fact. Within that 25 percent of
Moving on: Oct. 26, 2001. Since our founding fathers wrote the Constitution, Americans have believed that people possessed certain inalienable rights —
not because they were American citizens, but because they were human beings. During the aftermath of World War II and the formation of the United Nations, the United States made sure this idea was pressed into international law. But on Sept. 11, 2001, that changed. During the following month, your conservatism, now permeating the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Services, decided that background checks may be enforced on U.S. citizens with funny Arab names. On this October date, the USA PATRIOT Act (how ironic is the title?) became law, stripping the U.S. of its historical conviction that people deserve the right to privacy because they are people, not simply citizens of a particular nation.
Our final stop on this brief tour: Dec. 2004. You will wake up feeling you are different from your peers. You are becoming a true college conservative. But do not do so because Arnold Schwarzenegger or Rudolph Guiliani, the charismatic, centrist members of your party, impressed you at the Republican National Convention. Do not do so because the wave is so powerful that it seems inevitable. Do not do so because Fox News delivers its conservative agenda to you 24 hours a day. Do not do so because it is cool to be different from your inexplicably optimistic Democratic peers.
Do so at your own risk.

Another 9,300 of these cases were estimated in children younger than 15. Most of the child cases were caused by a mother with an HIV infection. It is important we remember this group of innocent children because yesterday was World AIDS Day.
This year's World AIDS Day campaign focused primarily on women and HIV. The objectives included raising awareness and addressing the issues women and girls face when dealing with HIV and AIDS.
According to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, young women and girls are more at risk to contract HIV than men and boys. Studies show women and girls can be about 2.5 times more likely to contract HIV than males.
This exposure to HIV is mostly because of lack of information about AIDS, inadequate access to HIV prevention services, inability to have safe sex and a shortage of female-controlled prevention methods for HIV. Also,
The only method of reducing the risk of contracting the HIV virus is by regular condom use during vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Correct and consistent condom use can significantly reduce the risk of HIV in men and women.
In the United States alone, AIDS has been the cause of death of approximately 493,000 people, and between 800,000 and 900,000 are living as HIV positive.
women and girls are at a greater risk than men and boys for sexual violence, which can further spread HIV, according to the Web site www.cdc.gov/hiv/stats.htm.
How many people living in Kansas do you think have AIDS or are HIV positive? According to the Kansas Department of Health & Environment (KDHE), the estimated number of people residing in Kansas at the end of 2002 who tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, was 1,113.
Of those, 161 were female (14.4 percent) and cases are disproportionately high among all African Americans, although 68 percent of cases occurred among caucasians.
There are surely people at the University living with HIV too, whether they are aware of their status
TH
or not. The American College Health Association estimates that nationally two in 500 college students are HIV positive. What about you? Are you positive that you are negative?
Come to any of the World AIDS Day events this week sponsored by the Peer Health Educators and Student Health Services to find out about testing, pick up a Safer Sex Kit, or ask questions.
There is help out there. You can also contact any of these services if you need testing or if you have any questions concerning HIV/AIDS.

"I kind of don't enjoy the fact that other schools are so forbidden." Miller said. "You have to add someone as a friend before you can view their profile if they aren't from your school."
Ashley Cline, Burr Oaks freshman, lives in Oliver Hall with Cuevas but sometimes would rather talk to him through thefacebook instead of in person. Each student's profile has a wall for leaving messages.
Hughes said thefacebook was not meant to be a large, anonymous site.

"When we designed it, we wanted to build a site that would be grounded in any given user's real community," Hughes said. "When a user logs on, all the profiles she can view are of people with whom she could share a class with, pass on the path or have a meal together."
"Writing random comments on peoples' walls is great," Cline said.

"The O.C. — Obsessed Completely" and the ones about KU basketball players, she said.
Group creation also keeps Rob Zernickey, Lenexa senior, on the site. Thefacebook is more personal than instant messenger, he said.
"On thefacebook you have a face to put with a name," Zernickow said.
He recognizes people from the site on campus and in the bars on Massachusetts Street, he said.
"I don't always say 'hi,' but it's
interesting." Zernickow said.
He thinks the only drawback might be online stalking,but he said he was not worried about that.
Some people post their phone number on their profile. Sarah Stacy, Germantown, Md., senior, said the incoherent, drunken ramblings she received were flattering but unnecessary.
"It always happens about 2 a.m. when the bars close," Stacy said. "Maybe I should consider taking down the personal info."
Stacy has her own fan club on the site but doesn't take it too seriously because she doesn't know about half of the members in it, she said. The site is a good way to meet people and take her mind off of things, she said. She likes thefacebook for the same reason she hates it.
"I really don't have the time to do it and it can be a little addicting," Stacy said. "I have better things I should be doing."

Hays said it funded rent from private donations and expected to get 100 people to donate $10 per month, and then they would have it covered.
Fifty people have currently agreed to do it, but the group also puts on benefit shows of bands and poets who agree to perform for free, and all funds raised from the prices of admission go to the library.
"This place means a lot to me," Hays said. "It feels like a center for the community. I feel very safe and very welcome here."
The library had existed for four years in some incarnation, Hays said.
It originated in a house on 13th and Tennessee streets in August 2001, when it was known as the Mother Earth Collective, then it moved to in August 2003 to the old location at 13 W. 14th St. before moving to its current location.
Strano said the library was devoted to its mission statement, which reads that the library was devoted to "The creation of radical, political, economic, social and environmental transformation of the world."

KU History Web site growing in popularity, content
BY LAURA FRANCVIGLIA
francviglia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WINTER
A history panel for Elizabeth M. Watkins and articles about the boys of Sterling-Oliver Hall (SOBs) and the first Kansan to go into space are among the new additions to the KU History project.
Henry Fortunato, project director and editor, and his team launched 25 new articles for kuhistory.com and talked yesterday about 10 new panels, which will be built by Fall 2005 for the Kansas Union.
The new articles were underwritten by the KU Endowment Association, Department of Student Housing and the Historic Mount Oread Fund.

Fortunato said underwriting support for each of the articles ranged from $1,000 to $1,600. The cost covers all expenses involved, including research, writing, editing, imagery and the pro-rated cost of managing the Web site.
November 2002, has grown to 148 articles. Fortunato's long-term goal is to see the Web site grow to 300 articles.
Student Senate allocated $15,000 in September to create 10 more panels for the Kansas Union.
The Web site won a Phoenix Award — a local award for the arts — in November.
The KU History project began four years ago when Fortunato earned his master's degree in history at the University. Under his guise, the kuhistory.com Web site, which was launched

David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Unions, said the KU History Web site had 500,000 page views in 120 countries since it began and the trend was accelerating.
Lauren Grieb, Overland Park part-time student and graphics coordinator for the KU Memorial Unions, said the KU History project acted as a family photo album for the University.
"These are our ancestors and relatives," she said.
Fortunato said he had seen a bond among people associated with the University.
He said he hadn't found the reason, but he had seen a hunger for the history of the University from Jawhaws.
Fortunato said the KU History project did not sugarcoat the truth of KU's history.
"It's not 'rah rah KU,' and it doesn't whitewash stories," he said.
Grieb said the KU History project could continue in many different directions. There are more stories that can actually be produced because the project doesn't have the funds to com-
The University's athletics history is largely missing from the project, Grieb said. She said athletics were important because outsiders identified it with the University.
"In the rest of the country, KU is known 50 percent for sports and 50 percent for academics,"
Fortunato said he had future plans for the project. He plans to revitalize the purpose of the Kansas Memorial Union — to remember the 129 KU students who died in World War I. The WWI dedication on the sixth floor of the Kansas Union will allow passersby to learn the stories behind the students who died in the war.
He said because the nation is dealing with war now, learning about the past might bring more understanding of how wars' begin and as a preventative measure to future wars.
Another new component of the project is an interactive
online gallery, which would rely more on images than words.
Fortunato explained the KU History project as "a hybrid of scholarly approaches and scholarly methods packaged in a way that represents the best of a magazine article."
Ukraine opposition gains strength
ДОММАР ПРИПИ. СОЧА

Ukrainian opposition presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko's supporters stand in front of the parliament in Kiev, Ukraine's parliament passed a vote of no-confidence yesterday, bringing down the prime minister's government.
KIEV, Ukraine — Ukraine's opposition scored key victories yesterday in its bid to scrap a disputed presidential election as parliament voted no confidence in the government and European-brokered talks provided momentum toward holding a new ballot.
tun toward holding a new leader Opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko urged throngs of supporters to stay on the streets until his plans — a rerun of the Nov. 21 runoff with Kremlin-backed Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych — were worked out. He said such a vote could be held as early as Dec. 19.
But President Leonid Kuchma, who backed Yanukovych, instead proposed an entirely new election, which would allow his Russian-allied government to field a more attractive candidate as it scrambled to stay in power with his 10 years in office running out.
European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana also suggested a new vote but didn't indicate whether it would be a repeat of the runoff or a new election. Kuchma, who earlier in the day called the idea of a new runoff "a farce," also left the issue unclear.
The two candidates signed a deal to set up a group of lawyers to work out proposals for the "completion of the election," a reference to drafting legislation for a settlement of the dispute. The statement also urged protesters to lift their siege of official buildings that have paralyzed the government's work — but Yushchenko urged his backers to press ahead with their street protests.
"Our ranks mustn't shrink," Yushchenko told tens of thousands of his supporters who gathered on Kiev's central
Independence Square for the 11th straight night since the 'election commission declared his rival the winner in a vote he says was stolen. "We mustn't leave until we have a revote date firmly set."
signed, throngs of Yushchenko's supporters continued to besiege the Cabinet and the presidential administration buildings, while thousands clad in his orange campaign colors crammed the central square under fireworks and listened to rock bands.
Hours after the deal was
Yushchenko said he expected the Supreme Court to deliver a ruling today on his campaign's appeal to invalidate the runoff result — based on claims of widespread violations.
Yanukovych has tried to counterattack by launching his own appeal contesting the vote results in pro-Yushchenko western provinces and the capital, but it wasn't immediately clear when the court would address it.
The opposition has asked the court to declare Yushchenko the winner based on his narrow edge in the election's first round, on Oct. 31. But his call for a revote suggested he does not believe the court would pronounce him the winner.
Yushchenko has led the opposition for its years and was long seen as its candidate in a country where millions are yearning for change after Kuchma's 10-year rule. Kuchma anointed Yanukovych as his favored successor last spring, hoping his prominence as prime minister would attract votes.
In the first round of voting, Yushchenko edged Yanukovych by less than a percentage point, but fell short of the majority needed to avoid a runoff.
AIDS campaign behind schedule
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Nearly a million Americans now have the AIDS virus and the nation's ability to keep others from becoming infected still lags despite a government pledge four years ago to "break the back" of the AIDS epidemic by 2005.
The campaign, launched by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in February 2001, intended to cut in half the estimated 40,000 new HIV infections that have occurred every year since the 1990s.
However, the rate of new cases remains about the same, according to CDC data released yesterday as part of the federal health agency's commemoration of World AIDS Day.
"We have a ways to go before we reach the mark of reducing new infections by half in the United States," said Dr. Ronald Dalisherri, the director of the CDC HIV and AIDS prevention program. He called the country's HIV infection rate "relatively stable."
"Clearly we want to continue, and are continuing, to fund programs to reach out to people who are high-risk and are not infected." he added.
In 2001, the CDC's campaign focused on outwardly healthy people who did not realize they
had HIV — about one-fourth of those infected. Officials then said targeting them was key, because if they knew they were infected, they would be more likely to take steps not to spread the virus.
Such an effort "could possibly break the back of the epidemic in the United States," the CDC's Dr. Robert Janssen said then.
But the agency found that just targeting people who didn't know they had the AIDS virus was not enough. So last year, the CDC shifted gears, focusing on counseling those who knew they had HIV in an attempt to get them not to spread the virus.
Yet some advocacy groups say that effort fails to focus on drug users, or very sexually active young men, which advocacy groups say is key in preventing new infections.
The CDC believes up to 950,000 people in the United States are infected with HIV and up to 280,000 of them don't know it. Valdiserri said.
The rate of HIV diagnoses in the United States increased slightly — by 1 percent — between 2000 and 2003, from 19.5 people per 100,000 population to 19.7 per 100,000 in the 32 states surveyed by the CDC.
Advocacy groups blame a lack of federal money for part of the failure to make a dent in the HIV rate.

In addition to leading the nation in interceptions, Gordon was the conference leader in pass defenses, with seven. He was the only non-senior to be selected to the first-team defense from a true defensive position.
McMillan had a quiet, but consistent season through the first 10 games. In his Kansas finale, at Missouri, McMillan sacked Missouri's Brad Smith three times, and propelled himself into the team lead with seven.
At times, the relatively inexperienced unit was unable to open up a hole for the tailbacks or provide adequate pass protection. Vaughn was the most experienced one on the line, and never missed a starting assignment in the 24 games he took part in with the team.
Five other Jayhawks made honorable mention; defensive lineman Jermial Ashley, defensive back Rodney Harris, wide receiver Brandon Rideau, defensive back Tony Stubbs and linebacker Gabriel Toomey.
Kansas had two players selected to the second team, one on offense and one on defense. Senior Joe Vaughn, last year's Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year, anchored an offensive line which struggled most of the season, but found its stride over the final few games.
Junior linebacker Nick Reid was the lone second-team defensive selection for Kansas. Reid led the team in tackles with 109, including 15 tackles-for-loss, moving him into a three-way tie for seventh among all Kansas players, ever. In addition to leading the team, Reid was either first or second in the Big 12 in tackles per game throughout the season. Reid also contributed three quarterback sacks as part of a linebacker corps which was the heart of a much improved Kansas defensive unit.
For the season, Kansas' defense allowed just 345.5 yards of total offense per game, compared to an average of 412.6 last

Illini 'Krush' No.1 team
Illinois extends home nonconference winning streak to 35 games
WINDIS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Topranked teams might want to think twice about visiting Assembly Hall.
Robin Scholz/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Illinois' student cheering section, the Orange Crush, celebrates No. 5 Illinois' 91-73 victory over No. 1 Wake Forest at Assembly Hall in Chamapaigh, Ill., on Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2004.
roger Powell Jr. scored 19 points, Dee Brown and Luther Head added 16 each and No. 5 Illinois made No. 1 Wake Forest look more like a nonconference patsy in a 91-73 rout last night. The Illini led by double-digits for the last 28-plus minutes of the game, and were up by as much as 32 in the second half.
With 8:34 still to play, the "Orange Krush" student section broke into chants of "OVER-RATED!" In the final minutes of the game, there were chants of "WE'RE No. 1."
The Illini have now beaten both No. 1 teams that visited Assembly Hall. They beat then-No. 1 Michigan State 57-55 in 1979 — though if it's any consolation to the Demon Deacons, the Spartans still went on to win the national championship that year.
Illinois (5-0) has now won 35 straight at home against non-conference opponents, a streak that date back to Nov. 17, 1998. The Illini are 67-3 overall at Assembly Hall since the 2000-01 season.
Wake Forest (5-1) opened the season 5-0 and climbed to No.1 for the first time in school history. Though the Demon Deacons had impressive surps on their way to winning the preseason NIT last weekend, they also looked at times like a team still trying to find its rhythm, getting tested by both Providence and then-No.18 Arizona.
Providence and Arizona, and the Demon Deacons were no match for them. The Demon Deacons were held to 39 percent shooting, and two of their best players were never a factor. Chris Paul, the leading vote-getter on the AP's preseason All-America team, had just 10 while Justin Gray, MVP of the preseason NIT, had 11. Eric Williams had 18 on 7-of-13 shooting.
But the Illini are a cut above

Charles said he's had fun with the attention, sometimes even telling people that he's the runner.
"It's a delightful shitck," he said. "Don Rickles did the annoying schick. I do the 'Yes-I-am-an-athlete-unless-you-want-real-estate' shitck. If the caller ID says 'Adidas endorsements,' then I am definitely the runner."
Khabira is in on the joke, along with the couple's children Lily, 21, and Jesse, a senior at the University.
Charles has even tacked Charlie's newspaper clippings to the wall of his office. His favorite headline reads, "Gruber wins again." During the Olympic trials, his weekly newspaper ad said "Run Charlie

got into full swing in the spring. Gruber trains with the Kansas track team as a volunteer assistant coach and is expected to run in the World Championships in August in Helsinki.
Though their paths have never crossed, Charles said he would like to chat with Charlie about their different experiences being Charlie Gruber.
"It's on and off," she said. "We'll wait 'till he's in the news next time."
The phone calls died down after the Olympics, but Khabira said she expected they would start again when track season
Charles said he had become one of Charlie's biggest fans. This experience is right up his alley.
"Life pretends to be really serious, but in fact I know it's a total hoot," he said. "Mixing up the serious with the goofiness makes for a fine tasting stew."

Cyclist discusses life on the bicycle
GOING DEEP
M
SHANE KUCERA
skucera@kansan.com
Editor's Note: Athletes at the University of Kansas are more than just victories and statistics — they're real people with opinions on sports, life and love. Each Thursday, Kansan sports writer Shane Kucera sits down with a student athlete and discusses issues beyond the playing field.
Matt Spencer, Derby sophmore, wears spandex all the time. He's a member of the University of Kansas Cycling Club and spandex is their uniform.
Spencer is the club's vice president and a competitive racer. The club is growing slowly but steadily, and Spencer said that because of all the attention surrounding Lance Armstrong and the trendy LiveStrong bracelets, the sport of cycling was receiving more attention.
This week, Spencer talks about his life on and off the bicycle.
pares to other sports?
Q: Why did you get into cycling?
A: When I was younger out in Colorado, I saw a bunch of guys mountain biking and it looked like a lot of fun, so I got into it in junior high.
Q: How do you think cycling com-
A: You've got to be on your toes the whole time because it's not like a sport where you go for 15 or 20 seconds and then you stop and go again. It's really dynamic and it's always moving. It's like chess on wheels.
Q: What has kept you in the sport for so many years?
A: Just everything about it.
People that race and ride are usually passionate about the sport, so it's easy to keep motivated and always find new people to ride with. It's a lot of fun and it keeps you healthy.
Q: When you're riding, what do you think about?
A: All sorts of stuff. We go on rides that are anywhere from an hour to four hours long, so there are usually jokes being thrown around and just random news stuff. For inspiration on the bike, I think about races I've seen and I just try to gather from that and work with it.
Q: Would you say cycling is a social sport?
A: Oh yeah, it's a very social sport and it's a big team sport. You rely on your teammates a lot during races and even going to train with people. It's a lot safer to train with more people rather than just going out on the road yourself.
Q. Why are you involved with the cycling club instead of just riding and training on your own?
A₂: It gives you a chance to meet more people and its a lot easier to
travel in groups. That allows you to race in a lot more places.
A: Actually it's not bad. I like it. You move a lot easier and it really cuts down on wind resistance and keeps the sweat off your body. Plus, they're pretty dang cool looking.
Q: How do you like the spandex outfits you ride in?
Q: Do you ever wear spandex when you're not racing?
A: No, no. it's comfortable but it's not that comfortable.
A. I'm still trying to figure that out. I'd like to go as far with riding as I can, and I'd also like to get my business degree. Hopefully that will help me out in the bike industry, and maybe I can be a sales rep for a cycling company or help manage a team.
Q: What are your goals in life?
Q: What's the most important thing you've learned at Kansas?
A: Always have a backup plan.
Things can change so quick in your life because you can be completely planning on something and then find out there's something you like more, or you can find out you don't like something as much as you thought you would. Just always be prepared for anything.
A: As vice president I just help out with a lot of organizational stuff like meetings, and I handle a lot of the travel. I'm just learning how to put on and organize races, and I'm trying to get people motivated to come out and be a part of the club.
Q. What are your responsibilities as vice president of the cycling club?
Q: Do you ever get sick of riding a bike?
A: Honestly, yeah, there are days when you just don't feel good and the weather is bad and you just feel like staying home to play video games. You just have to think that you need to be ready for the races. Training isn't always fun but during the races it definitely pays off
Q: Should college athletes in programs that make a profit receive a portion of the money or extra benefits?
A Yeah, they should if they're making more money for the University. If they're making more money they should definitely get a longer cut of the money, because without their teams making money for the University, we wouldn't be able to do some of the stuff that we're able to do as an athletic program as a whole.
Q: Have more members joined since Lance Armstrong won the last Tour de France?
A: It seems like you just see a lot more people out on bikes, and as far as sales reports go, there are a lot more people buying bikes right now. That shows that at least the interest is going up.

Going into the final week of the regular season, only one team is set for a specific spot in the Bowl Championship Series.
Michigan will play in the Rose Bowl. Everything else will be put in place Saturday in six games involving eight ranked teams.
First up will be Pittsburgh trying to wrap-up the Big East's automatic bid to the BCS against South Florida in a game rescheduled because of a hurricane.
About two hours later the former beasts of the Big East, Miami and Virginia, play for the
Atlantic Coast Conference crown and its BCS bid.
Then the national championship contenders begin their final push toward the Orange Bowl to play for the BCS title.
Southern California (11-0) plays crosstown rival UCLA, starting at 3:30. The Trojans are in first place in the BCS standings and have locked up a BCS berth as Pac-10 champs. With a victory they'll earn a trip to Miami and a chance to make it back-to-back national titles. A slip sends them to the Rose Bowl.
"There is a lot at stake regarding where we'll end up. The elements that add up are good for us," USC coach Pete Carroll said. "It would be a great game even if there were no wins on either side. But the fact that we have to deal with all this pressure is good for us."
Just about when the Trojans and Bruins are heading to halftime, Auburn and Tennessee kick off the Southeastern Conference title game in Atlanta.
34-10 in Knoxville in October.
The unbeaten Tigers (11-0)
are third in the BCS standings
and probably need a loss by USC
or Oklahoma to get the Orange
Bowl. They beat the Volunteers
"We played them early in the season, but you can throw that out and they will have a grudge on their shoulder and they will come out with more enthusiasm," Auburn running back Ronnie Brown said.
About an hour and a half after the Tigers-Volunteers start their rematch in Atlanta, California, fourth in the BCS standings, tries to secure its spot in the BCS at Southern Mississippi.
the Golden Eagles can spring the upset — or at least make the Bears look bad — and put the Longhorns in the BCS.
Shortly after that, Oklahoma and Colorado get going in the Big 12 title game in Kansas City, Mo. The Sooners appear to control their destiny — win and they're off to Miami to play for a national title for the second straight season.

Charles Gordon tries to slip out of the grasp of a Missouri defensive player during the first quarter of the game Nov. 20 at Faurqt Field. The Jayhawks won the game 34-31.
Joining Gordon on the first team is senior defensive end David McMillan. The selections were made by the Big 12 coaches in balloting revealed by the Big 12 Conference. According to conference officials, coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players.
Just one team in the Big 12 had a single player selected to the All-Big 12 Team on offense and defense.
Kansas has not had a first-team selection since defensive tackle Nate Dwyer was selected three years ago, according to the Kansas Athletic Media Relations office. In addition, the defensive tandem's selection is the first time two Jayhawks were elected to the first team in one season.
Kansas sophomore Charles Gordon, who led the nation in interceptions with seven, was a first team All-Big 12 selection on defense. He also received honorable mention honors as a wide receiver. Gordon caught a pass, including several for touchdowns, in most of Kansas' games this season.

KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
Kansas coach Bill Self said there was a difference between his team's close opening victory against Vermont and its two blowout victories over St. Joseph's and Nevada.
"If you were just going to say what's been the biggest difference," Self said, "I may just say Aaron Miles."
While freshman guard Russell Robinson has received a lot of attention
and rightfully so after scoring 13 points in 16 minutes against Nevada Miles has remained the most steady and efficient performer for the Jayhawks.
Against Nevada Monday, Miles scored eight points, but more importantly involved his teammates by distributing 10 assists without a single turnover.
"He does his thing, but it's never really recognized," senior guard Mike Lee said. "Every night he goes out and gets the job done, despite all the criticism he's faced since he's been here."
Sometimes chided for lacking a consistent outside shot, Miles has found
other ways to contribute.
"Aaron has taken care of the basketball," Self said. "We've run more and probably more effectively. Our perimeter defense has gotten us more easy baskets and our perimeter players have kept the defense honest."
Self complimented the senior guard on both his defensive intensity and also his ability to push the ball in transition.
"He's done that since day one."
Miles said he felt that the team had performed better since the opening game against Vermont because it had been able to get more into the flow of the game.
"It was the first game and everyone was anxious," Miles said. "The biggest thing we've done is calmed down, relaxed and played under control. I think in particular was out of control in the Vermont game."
Miles, who is Kansas' only four-year starter, has earned respect from teammates with the most important statistic: victories. While a starter, Kansas has compiled a 90-21 record with Miles leading from the point guard position.
"He does what I think all point guards in college, NBA and high school basketball should do, and that's win." Lee said.
Lee said he had also noticed Miles' leadership in practices, where the guard has come early for extra shooting, become more vocal and spent extra time helping the freshmen learn the new plays.
Miles said he wouldn't mind adding a few more double-digit assist games this season.
more conscious of that lately."
"I try to tell Aaron a lot of times, Whatever you do, we're going to take your lead." Lee said. "I think he's been
"As long as we win," Miles said, "I would love to have ten assist-games every game."

'Hawks finally find hoop
The women's basketball team is in the middle of a three game winning streak and is coming off its best offensive performance of the season. But an unexpected Division II challenge from Topeka will visit the 3-1 Jayhawks tonight at Allen Fieldhouse.
Tonight's 7 p.m. contest against the Washburn Lady Blues, 3-0 and ranked ninth in the WBCA Division II poll, could be the most difficult matchup so far for Kansas.
"Most people don't realize how good Washburn is," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "They have excellent guard play and we understand that."
In addition to solid backcourt play, the Lady Blues have relied on a potent front court duo in three blowout victories. Senior center Carla Sinatra leads the Washburn offense with 16 points and 7.3 rebounds a game. She is teamed with sophomore forward Brooke Überlaker, who averages 10 points.
Seven other Lady Blues average at least four points per contest, which demonstrates the balance and depth of Washburn's roster. Washburn's lineup also features 10 players that play at least 10 minutes per game.
The depth and balanced scoring has the undefeated Lady Blues blowing away the competition. In its first three games of the season, Washburn has beaten the competition by an average of 36 points.
Kansas, which is coming off a blowout of its own with a 67-44 victory versus Denver, is taking the game seriously.
"We're going to go in there like we do any other game," junior forward Crystal Kemp said. "We can't underestimate any team."
Washburn is a top 10 team, has posted impressive victories and has not lost, but Kansas has momentum of its own. The Jayhawks have won three games in a row and used their best offensive performance yet in Tuesday's victory.
Junior guard Erica Hallman said that nothing changed in Tuesday's game, but that the offense just finally got some shots to fall.
Kansas finally found its offensive rhythm in the Denver game and continued its string of solid team defensive games. Jayhawk shooters shot early and often to jump on top of the Pioneers with a 26-point halftime lead and shooting 64 percent from the field.

Two local Charles Grubers equal twice the fun
BY FRANK TANKARD
ftankard@kansan.com
KANSAS SPORTSWRIER
Charles Gruber, Lawrence resident of 33 years, makes the most of sharing a name with a famous KU alumnus runner. Charlie Gruber is a 2002 KU graduate and ran the 1,500-meter in the 2004 Olympics in Athens. Charles Gruber is a real estate broker in Lawrence.
You are about to embark on a tale of two Charles Grubbers. The older of the two is a 59-year-old real estate broker and well-known character. The younger goes by Charlie and is a 26-year-old distance track star, 2004 Olympian and University of Kansas alumnus. Both live in Lawrence.
John Tran/KANSAN
At 15th and New York streets there is a house known for the large mural of a garden painted on its side. A dead cherry tree painted blue with matching blue bottles strung from the branches stands in the vard.
He runs an advertisement in the Lawrence Journal-World every Friday, each with a philosophical or comical saying or quotation. Tomorrow's will be, "What hits the fan is not always evenly distributed."
The house belongs to Charles Gruber and his wife, Khabira. Gruber is known around town for what he calls his "outre antics."
Gruber arrived in Lawrence by accident in 1971 and never left.
"I was traveling across the country in a school bus with a bunch of hippies, cats and dogs on the way to yet another concert," he said. "We ran out of gas here and it seemed like a good place to
stay."
During the next 26 years he was the only Charles Gruber in town. He started an auto shop called Charlie's VW Service about a year after moving
--to Lawrence, which later became Metric Motors. After operating his garage for more than a decade, he moved into the real estate business in 1987.
He made a name for himself at Hedges Real Estate and was named Realtor of the Year by the Lawrence Board of Realtors in 1998.
However, Gruber's name would soon be synonymous with something other than realty. In 1997, a kid from Denver came to town to run track at the University of Kansas.
The runner garnered the attention of the Lawrence community by placing 11th in the 1,500 meters at the NCAA Championships as a sophomore.
He made headlines his senior year by breaking the four-minute mile.
The kid's name, of course, was Charlie Gruber. When he graduated from KU in 2002 as a five-time All-American, outdoor and indoor track combined, he had become Lawrence's most recognizable Gruber.
Charlie stayed in town after graduating. Was Lawrence big enough for two Grubbers? Apparently it is, though both
Grubbers said people frequently inquired about the other.
"People ask me about him," Charlie said. "And I've seen his signs around town. A lot of people ask me if we're related."
Charles said he had received dozens of phone calls and letters in the last couple of years from people mistaking him for the runner. When Charlie qualified for the Olympics this summer, Charles said he got a call from a reporter, fan or old friend of Charlie's every few days.
Khabira, who has been married to Charles for 20 years, usually picks up the phone at home. She now responds "Which one?" when callers ask for Mr. Gruber.
Charlie doesn't list his number in the phone book.
"I've tried to get his number so we can give it to the people who call for him," she said. "But I haven't been able to."
Khabira said they had also received letters from fans and friends of Charlie, writing to wish him good luck in races.

At a question-and-answer session with students last night, Chancellor Robert Hemenway addressed speculation about a new football facility being built between the Campanile and Memorial Stadium.
If the facility was built, people might not be able to watch Kansas football games from the hill and students might not be able to walk down the hill for graduation.
Nothing will interfere with students walking down the hill at graduation, Hemenway said.

can get at a secular university."
Robert Hemenway University of Kansas chancellor
Hemenway answered students' questions last night at a forum dubbed "Chancellor's Questions," held at the Hawk's Nest on the first floor of the Kansas Union.
Students at the University of Kansas were able to ask Hemenway any questions they wanted while they ate a free bowl of chill. About 25 students attended the event.
Student Union Activities, which sponsored the event, tries to organize bigger events for students, but it also provides some smaller and more intimate events, said Megan Storm, SUA social issues coordinator.
The new football facility was one of many issues the chancellor addressed.
Jason Flay, Vernon Center, N.Y., senior, started the night off with the first "grilling question," as he put it.
Flay, an anthropology major, asked how the University could spend thousands of dollars on beautifying the campus while, at the same time, it shut down the Museum of Anthropology.
The public portion of the museum was closed in Fall 2002 after a state

Chancellor Robert Hemenway answers a student's question at the Hawk's Nest in the Kansas Union. The event, called "Chancellor's Questions" was held so students could ask Hemenway anything they wanted to know about the University. Questions ranged from why Wescoe would be refurbished to what was happening with the Campanile and the new football facility.

'Crazy' for conducting choirs
Choral director helps with concert despite hurt back

Not even a ruptured disc can stop John Paul Johnson from spreading holiday cheer.
"This is not meant for sympathy, but getting old sucks," Johnson told his chamber choir on Wednesday.
...
The director of choral activities will help conduct the 80th KU Holiday Vespers this Sunday at the Lied Center, even though he hurt his back moving timpani. Heidi Schellman was surprised Johnson directed rehearsals on Wednesday.
"That man is crazy," said Schellman, Lawrence junior and chamber choir member. "Two days ago he couldn't stand up straight. He's giving all he has and more."

The department of music and dance scheduled two performances of Vespers this year, one at 2:30 p.m. and another at 7:30 p.m. More than 200 vocalists

Flu shot clinic planned for campus
Dec.12 clinic will offer 1,300 doses at the fieldhouse
Watkins Memorial Health Center and the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department are teaming up to host another flu clinic from noon to 4 p.m. Dec. 12 at Allen Fieldhouse.
By AMANDA O'TOLE

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
At least 1,300 doses of the vaccine will be available, said Myra Strother, director of health services at Watkins.
The clinic will be similar to one held Oct. 23 at Free State High School, 4700 Overland Drive, in northwest Lawrence.
She said people who come to the clinic were asked not to come early because the clinic would not open until noon.
Strother said she would like to see at
least one thing done differently.
People who went to the flu clinic at Free State came as early as 2:30 a.m. The clinic didn't open until 10 a.m.
Strother said she suggested that people could wait in their cars if they wanted to come early.
As a result, hundreds of people shivered in the cold and waited just to get into the building.
Blankets the health department provided were limited, and there weren't enough for everyone.
HIGH RISK GROUP
SEE FLU ON PAGE 5A
"There's four hours when the clinic will be open," she said. "Everyone who wants a vaccine should be able to get one."
Here are the qualifications for the high risk group for flu shots:
People 65 years of age and older Children ages 6 months to 23 months
Adults and children 2 years of age and older with chronic lung or heart disorders including heart disease and asthma
Pregnant women
Adults and children 2 years of age and older with chronic metabolic diseases (including diabetes), kidney diseases, blood disorders (such as sickle cell anemia), or weakened immune systems, including persons with HIV/AIDS
Children and teenagers, 6 months to 18 years of age, who take aspirin daily
Residents of nursing homes and other chronic-care facilities
Household members and out-of-home caregivers of infants under the age of 8 months (Children under the age of 6 months cannot be vaccinated.)
Healthcare workers who provide direct, hands-on patient care with regular frequency to the priority group patients listed above

Dance party to feature Latin, salsa music

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Pantoja, HALO president, encourages all KU students to come and experience the clubbing scene along with some Latin spice. Latin, salsa, hip-hop and reggae music will be provided by the DIs.
"Salsa dancing is in demand," Pantoia said.
The Hispanic American Leadership Organization will spice up the dance floor Saturday night.
She said HALO members kept getting questions about where to get Salsa lessons. She told the members to make sure to not be afraid to meet new people and to help them with learning the steps.
The group put together the dance party, Invierno, to be held at the Moon Bar, 821 Iowa St., and features disc jockey Danny Jalapeño and disc jockey 151. Invierno means winter in Spanish.
"Get out of your weekend routine." Andrea Pantoja, Mission junior, said.
Juan Gonzalez, Bronx, N.Y. freshman and social chairman for HALO, said that the music should draw a diverse crowd. The group wants this to be a big night. he said.
After months of planning, the main contribution to the party is from the DJs.
They are volunteering their time, paying for the venue and the flyers for the event. Gonzalez said.
Ronald Ruiz, DJ 151 and owner of 151 Entertainment, wants to support HALO by getting its name out. He is a great guy and our No.1 promoter, Gonzalez said.
"I just noticed that there wasn't enough events for HALO and I wanted to change that." Ruiz said.
Ruiz has done a lot of parties for other organizations but he wanted to get involved with HALO because of his heritage.
"Being Hispanic, I feel that there is not enough older Latinos helping the younger out," Ruiz said.

Almost home for the holidays
Decking your halls with cheer
By Misty Huber, Jayplay writer
Photo by Joshua Kendall
thappens every year. December rolls around and looking at your dusty bookshelf and empty beer cans
around and looking at your dusty bookshelf and empty beer cans, you're having a little trouble getting into the holiday spirit. Holiday decorations are important to not only your festive spirit, but also your psychological health. It is so important that in 2002 NASA's psychological support team arranged for Christmas decorations to be sent onboard with the Expedition Eight crew. It was just a Christmas tree flag and a bow over a hatch, but decorations nonetheless.

It's time to replace the beer with cheer, or at least find a way to intermix the two. Follow this decorating guide and your friends will want to spend the season at your place.
When it comes to decorating for Christmas, you can do so much more than string popcorn and hang wreaths. Kathleen Wilson, editor of The Budget Decorator and thebudgetdecorator.com, recommends more creative approaches. Place a pillar candle in a bowl and fill it with a few glass balls and some sprigs of greenery or use cranberries and nuts. Add in Epsom salts for faux snow. However, if you'd like to have a home to decorate next year, don't light the candle.

miniature trees along with hundreds of miniature ornaments. If you're really limited on space, wrap photo frames in gift wrap and put them back on the wall. Wilson also suggests sponging holiday shapes such as stars on your windows with acrylic craft paint mixed with a teaspoon of liquid dish soap. The paint comes off with window cleaner, she says.
Illuminate with the Festival of Lights
Anyone who has celebrated Hanukkah knows it can be trickier to decorate for. Outside of the menorah, you may feel lost for ideas. Samantha Zurber, Eden Prairie, Minn. freshman, says her family goes all
out decorating for the holiday, using decals of dreidels and menorahs on the windows and stringing lights with Jewish symbols. She says this season she'll be in
her residence hall and her decorating options seem more limited.
Even away from home you can bring the spirit in. Take advantage of the miracle of light theme by filling your space with candles. You can decorate them by gluing on jewels or gold coins.
You can also make your own dreidels, but if you don't want the mess of clay, use decorative paper. For a pattern, visit www.holidays.net/chanukah/pattern.html. Make a garland by taping them to string or ribbon and hanging them in front of a strand of holiday lights.
A Kan-Do Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa differs from Christmas and Hanukkah in that it is not a religious holiday, but an American festival honoring African Americans and their traditions. Dorthy Pennington, associate professor of African and African-American studies, says in a home celebrating Kwanzaa, she would expect to see a candelabra, called a kinara, holding red, black and green candles. The colors are very important, she says. They represent the colors of the

African-American flag that Marcus Garvey introduced in 1920.
Bring in the colors by using fabric with traditional African print the table where you will be setting up your display. Over the fabric, set a straw mat and adorn it with a bowl filled with real or artificial fruit to symbolize
Kwanzaa's harvest theme. Decorate your unity cup with jewels, beads or ribbon and add it to the mat. Surround your display with inspirational quotes, poems or sermons in red, black or green frames. And remember to set out an ear of corn for each of your roommates to represent hope for the future.
So start your own traditions this year and get in a festive mood a little early. Who knows? It may make studying for finals a little more jolly.
Damagecontrol
Controlled by Caffeine
Having trouble getting through the day without a coffee, soda or both? You have to kick the caffeine habit, my friend. It's best to start slowly. If you quit cold turkey, you'll probably just go back Reduce your caffeine intake during the course of a few weeks. If
you are a coffee drinker, try switching to decaf. And remember it may be the ritual of the coffee or soda that addicts you most. Substitute this ritual with something else just don't make it cappuccino.

Sweet and Salty
Don't throw out that over-seasoned dish just yet. For over-salted pickings, add a drop of lemon juice, vinegar or wine and a dash of sugar. Or, if it's too sweet for your palette, add a smidgen of salt and lemon juice. For sour dishes, adjust the flavor with salt and sugar. Perform your alternations gradually.

Filmmakers serve up mouth-watering dishes

1960s. The TV set is designed to be mounted on a wall or ceiling, with a rounded top that provides protection from dust and other environmental factors. The base of the TV set is typically made of metal or plastic, which helps to support it and protect the screen from scratches and damage. The TV set may also have a backlight feature, which allows it to be used in low-light conditions.

You remember the scene: Jim comes home from school, heads for the kitchen and finds a freshly baked, warm apple pie sitting on the counter. From his more sexually experienced friends, Jim knows the feel of this particular dish feels like reaching third base. So faster than you can say "deep throat" Jim forces the pie down there.
Food has always played a part in movies. From a starving Charlie Chaplin eating his boot in Modern Times to a horny Jason Biggs humpin' pie in American Pie, the best movies use food to show the inner lives of the characters. On celluloid at least, people are what they eat. Here's a look at some of the most delectable movies ever made:

107 CHRISTMAS CAROLINI CINEMAS
Tom Jones (1963)
Albert Finney stars as the dapper $18^{\mathrm{th}}$-Century playboy. Winner of four Academy Awards, the film's funniest scene features Finney and Joyce Redman consuming an outrageous amount of food to seduce each other. Bob Curtright, movie critic for The Wichita Eagle, saw the film while attending The University of Kansas. The moment where Redman smears an apple over her face and breasts made a considerable impression on the freshman.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Food is a source of pleasure and terror in Roald Dahl's indelible tale of five children who find golden tickets that win them access to the magical realm of a reclusive candyman. Captivated by Wonka's wonders, the children soon discover a darker side to the edible delights as their spoiled personalities get the better of them. "It's as disturbing as it is entertaining," says Jon Niccum, movie critic for The Lawrence Journal-World. "But what kid wouldn't want to run into a room where every item in it is made of chocolate?" Look for Tim Burton's version, starring Johnny Depp as Wonka, on July 15.
Babette's Feast (1987)
Cooking becomes an act of grace in Babette's Feast, a Danish Film starring French actress Stéphane Audran as a political fugitive hiding out in a religious sect. Audran prepares a 10-course meal for her Danish benefactors, who usually eat only fish. Bob Butler, movie critic for The Kansas City Star., put the film on his top-10 for that year list.
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989)
Curtright considers this lurid melodrama a guilty pleasure. Viewed as an allegory for the Margaret Thatcher years, the film incorporates cannibalism and doggy doo into the story of a passionate affair between a crime boss' wife and a restaurateur's wife. "Controversial and outrageous," Curtright says.
The Age of Innocence (1993)
Food can also be used to make a social statement. In Martin Scorsese's adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel, an overhead shot of a sumptuous banquet captures the movie's tacit vision of high society. "It's a brief image but impressive in detail and telling about the characters' background," Curtright says.
Big Night (1996)
THE BIG NIGHT
From The Godfather to Goodfellas, no movie about Italian Americans is complete without a portrait of Italian cookery. The best movie on the subject may be this comedy-drama, directed by Campbell Scott and Stanley Tucci. Tucci stars as one of two brothers running an Italian restaurant in New Jersey who spend their remaining dollars on a lavish feast in a last-ditch effort to boost business. Niccum says Big Night has some of the best food moments in movie history.

A Poor Man's Guide to Sexifying His Wheels
MISS PADNIE CALDWELL
Photo illustration by Joshua Kendell
By Brian Wacker, Jayplaywriter
You've finally mustered up the courage to ask out your dream girl. You know, the one you spend hours staring at in class. She's even said yes, agreeing to dinner and a movie on Saturday night. It's time to go ali out. You break out the nice, button-up shirt that's been hibernating in your closet since Christmas. Nice shoes; check. Cologne; check. Wallet full of $20 bills; check.
Butthen you walk outside and you come to the sobering realization that most self-sufficient college guys have to cope with: Your car is a certified pile of crap. The paint's chipping away, your front headlight stopped working for its first owner right after Reagan took office and it smells like a dog has been defacating in the back seat for the past week.
There is hope. Granted, Xzibit from MTV's Pimp My Ride probably isn't going to knock on your door any time soon. These tips may be the next best idea. At the least, you can make your car respectable, and even sexified, by week's end.
Shower
Take some pride in your car. You may not be rolling around in an Escalade, but at least your Geo Tracker can shine just as bright. Cleaning your car requires more than just buying the $3 base wash at the gas station. Vacuum it. Wipe the year's worth of dust off the dashboard. Tell the
hobo living in the back seat to find a motel for the night.
A great value for cleaning your car in Lawrence is Auto Plaza Car Wash, 2828 Four Wheel Drive in West Lawrence. For $10.99, you can buy a full-service wash, which includes a tunnel-wash, vacuuming, seat treatment, interior window-cleaning and drying, all in 10 minutes.
Deodorize
If deodorant and cologne commercials on television have taught us anything, it's that smell is the strongest sense tied to memory. You don't want to be remembered by the stink of discarded quarter-pounder wrapper?
You want your car to smell good, but make it look like you didn't try. That means restraining from hanging the vanilla-fla-
vored, pine-tree shaped, New York-cabbie air freshener from your rear-view mirror. Not only are they tackier than lawn gnomes, but they don't work. "I hate air fresheners, they usually smell bad, and it tells you he is just to covering up the already bad smell," says Jessie Landers, Lawrence junior. She says a car without a distinctive smell is much more attractive.
Here's how you do it. Clear out anything and everything that emits stinky odor and roll down your windows. Air it out for an entire day. Glade, famous for its plug-in odor neutralizing system, makes similar products for cars. Buy the unscented version for $5. Be sure to discreetly place it somewhere in the car where no one can see it. You 1, smell 0.
Polish
There's nothing wrong with adding panache to your ride. Any bona fide rapper will tell you that panache starts and stops at the wheels of your 'tight whip" (an homage to luxury cars performed by the 504 Boyz, featuring Lil' Romeo).
You probably don't have Volante Apollo 22" rims to go on your Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires. But for $2600 less (around$ 5), you can bling-bling like you do. Armor All Tire Foam, which can be purchased at most auto part stores, is a quick and effortless way to make your wheels shine as if you rapped about it for a living. This is the lazy man's way to shine his ride. You don't even need to bend over because wiping is unnecessary. All you do is spray. When it's done, your date will be able to check out her heel straps in the reflection.
Act Cool
When you pick up your date in your newly-pimped ride, play it cool. Act as if your car is always clean. Don't mention that you spent a lot of time and money fixing it up. You want to leave the impression that your car is always this clean and that you always care about its appearance. Telling her how hard you worked to get it clean may be flattering, but it also tells her you're normally a slob. If you want to be big-pimpin', there is no room for sloppiness.
Love source
You're out at dinner with your partner and both of you have discussed how your day has gone. It's time for something deeper. You look into your partner's eyes and wonder about who they really are. What are their beliefs? What are their goals? It's time to pull out the quizzes you printed out at lovingyou.com. This is a love source that provides quizzes specially made for
those in relationships. There are random quizzes posted on topics covering issues like religion, beliefs, and sex. The quizzes are randomly updated to help keep those in relationships going strong and understanding one another. So if you are tired of talking about the whether and who is dating whom, there is a place to go to get the conversation rolling.

He said she said "So, are we boyfriend/girlfriend?"
Granted, it's not quite a marriage proposal, but it could still mean the end of your no-strings-attached love fest. Adrienne Colcher, Garden City
freshman, says girls are more likely to pop this question than guys, because girls feel stronger about defining the nature of their relationships. But guys, don't look at the question necessarily as a commit-or-get-out ultimatum. Some ladies are into the free love thing. They just want to know what the relationship is, whether it's friends with benefits or love at first sight. "It's better to know exactly what's on going," Colcher says. Of
course, guys have also been known to seek out relationship status — sometimes for the same reasons as girls — but more often because they want to know what the girl is thinking, says Adam Powell, Colcher's boyfriend and Garden City freshman. Guys don't necessarily want definition, they just want to make sure the girl they're seeing isn't already designing wedding invitations.

Q
[Check out Jessi Crowder and Chris Tackett on Facebook!!]
My girlfriend is pissed because she found out I masturbate when she's out of town. How do I explain it doesn't have anytl do with me wanting other girls?
a
Chris: Ask her if she'd rather you be unfaithful or masturbate. If she says "neither," she's clinically insane and you should end the relationship. Girls have to understand that guys masturbate — all the time. Guys who get sex on a daily basis may not masturbate as often, but take that away and they'll start to. Girls, don't be jealous. If we don't do it, we'll die.
Jessi: Even if she was there and you still masturbated, she shouldn't be upset because self-sex is healthy and beneficial for both partners. It can increase your staying power, and help her show you what she likes. If she doesn't believe you, go out of town and have her try it for herself. *wink*
Q
a
Sometimes when I dance with a girl, I get turned on and get a slight erection. I'm sure they can feel it. Do you think this creeps girls out, or does it turn them on? — John, freshman
Chris: I asked a few lady friends and got split opinions. They said if they were dating the guy, it would be a huge turn-on. But with a random guy, it could be creepy, UNLESS they were really into them and wanted to hook up with them anyway, because in that case they'd be planning on ... And that's about when I stopped listening.
Jessi: This reminds me of that '90s song "Too Close" about a girl dancing too close to a guy and she feels a "poke coming through." I see it this way: If she's dancing with you in the first place, and grinding on you, she deserves the poke. If you're into frotteurism, no one deserves that.
Q
I just got signed onto the facebook.com and started talking to this hottie. I want to ask her out, but I'm not sure what the policy is for online hookups. What should I do? — Stu, junior
a
Jessi. I don't know of any policies behind online hookups other than making sure she's not some Mrs. Robinson in search of another pool boy. I also suggest you "poke" someone looking for the same type of commitment you are, which in Facebook's case ranges from "friends" to "random play." With that said, if she's listed as "whatever I can get" and you are too, go for it!
Christ: I checked out Facebook and was surprised at the number of KU students on there. With sites like campushook.com and thefacebook.com, I think most students just want something to do when they're drunk, alone, bored or horny late at night. It's a great way to hit on girls without the social awkwardness. There's a chance the girl has no interest in actually meeting someone, but if the conversation is good online, I can only assume it'd be even better in person. Ask her.

Will the real Broadband Man please stand up?
Lawrence's elusive superhero tells you what makes him tick By Samia Khan, Jayplaywriter
The cheers, stares, double-takes and gaping mouths of passersby don't faze him anymore. He waves, flashes a smile, puffs up his synthetic pectoral bulge and goes on with his superhero work. Before long paparazzi will arrive for sightings of the 6-foot-tall, freckled superhero with
school's Strategic Campaigns class. The students in the class create an advertising campaign for the client that the client can choose to use.
ADMIT IT. EVEN IF YOU'RE A HATER, YOU'RE WONDERING WHAT BROUGHT THIS LOCAL SUPERHERO OUT OF THE WOODWORK.WHO IS BROADBAND MAN? REALLY.
flowing cape and shimmering mask. Fame is spreading fast for the enigmatic Broadband Man - as fast as the speed of broadband.
Since the Broadband Man commercials started airing in January of this year, Free For All callers aren't the only ones enchanted with the phenomenon. Admit it. Even if you're a hater, you're wondering what brought this local superhero out of the woodwork. Who is Broadband Man? Really.
The concept was developed in spring of 2002 in a class on campus. Sunflower Broadband was a client for the journalism
Tim Bengtson taught the campaigns class that came up with the idea. There were two teams that mentioned a Broadband Man-type
character in their plan, but only one group's character was picked up by Sunflower. The group that won made a tape of the character prancing around Wescoe and explaining Sunflower's service to students, says Bengtson, associate professor of journalism. When Bengtson saw the tape, he thought the character was a great concept. "I thought, 'My goodness. This thing will actually work,'" he says.
There is an adage in advertising, Bengtson says, that teaches, "if you make the character famous, you make the brand famous." Bengtson refers to examples such as the Jolly Green Giant. The characters build a brand identity that makes an impression on the market and the customers. Sunflower employees developed the character's personality, look and story on their own.
People can easily relate when there is a goofy mascot who makes you laugh, especially when dealing with high-tech concepts such as broadband, says Emily Mulligan, marketing manager at Sunflower. Mulligan is in charge of the Broadband Man ad campaign. She says it's a great honor to work with a superhero.
For Sunflower Broadband, Mulligan and other Lawrence residents, Broadband Man is a real superhero. He's been delivering broadband behind the scenes for years. It just took a few commercials, the creative discovery of a campaigns class and a local company to coax him into the public eye.
Local residents of all ages rave about the commercials, Mulligan says. The company gets e-mails and customer service calls about Broadband Man all the time. Organizations request his appearance at fundraisers. When Sunflower technicians
The latest Sunflower Broadband commercial focuses on the question of who Broadband Man is. The idea for that commercial was born from customer inquiries and FreeForAllcomments, Mulligan says. But his identity remains a mystery. "I can tell you he's a man and he lives in Lawrence," she says. But that is all she can say.
to customers' homes, they're often ok-
jingly asked, "Hey, where's your cape?"
Many students on campus, including Free for All callers, claim to know who Broadband Man is. Tim Forthman says he met the man behind the blue mask just before the commercials started airing. Because Broadband Man's identity is such a secret, Forthman wouldn't say what Broadband Man's real name was. The Tulsa, Okla., senior met Broadband Man's alter-ego through student martial arts clubs. The two also had mutual friends, one of whom he says is Satellite Man. He says he just took his friend's word for it when the mystery alter-ego and his friends said he was Broadband Man.

But anybody can make such grandiose claims. Only Broadband Man knows who Broadband Man is:
There's been a lot of Broadband Man interest on campus, especially in the Free For All. Some people even said they voted for you in the presidential elections.
Oh good.I hope they did.
If you voted, who did you vote for?
Oh yes, I voted. I voted for myself. I wrote in Broadband Man.
Do you think you could handle that job?
Definitely. You've seen how I deal with the bad guys. I lay it down. I'm fast. I can be everywhere at once.
So, what do you do in your spare time?
What is spare time, honestly? Saving the public from slow Internet is a tough business. If I'm not doing that, I'm usually out shaking hands, kissing babies, you know. Or else I'll surf the Net, watch some TV, talk on the phone and just enjoy my broadband service.
I heard some people saw you downtown on Halloween.
Yeah, I was out on the town for the holi-
day. it's the one chance in the year I can blend in.
So tell me the story about that flashy superhero costume.
A superhero comes to his costume. When they come together you know it's right. All superheroes have a special superhero tailor who custom fits you. I can't tell you who, I could get kicked out of the union just for telling you that much.
What do you wear when you relax at home and take your costume off?
PJs and bunny slippers. Oh, I don't know. I'm not out of my costume much. My work is never done.
Can I take a peek under the mask?
No, it's glued to my face.
What's with all the secrecy? Who are you?
Broadband Man is Broadband Man. It's not uncommon for a superhero not to reveal their identity. We couldn't do our job as effectively if the villains knew who we were. This way it keeps everyone on their toes and always guessing. You don't know which way I'm coming from.
Does anything get you down or bother you?
Being mistaken for Superman. That's rough. We're two different guys, come on!
The life of a superhero isn't all fame and accolades. Broadband Man talks about the trials of superhero life over a cup of coffee.
"Sometimes you have to adjust them," he says, referring to his rippling man breasts tucked underneath his stretched, blue velour superhero costume.

BROADBAND MAN
Do you have any weaknesses,
Achilles' heels or fears? Not to compare,
but Superman had kryptonite.
Weaknesses? What weaknesses? Well I can tell you that I don't fear slow Internet or poor phone service. I do fear people succumbing to the evil influences of my archenemies (referring to Satellite Man, Big Phone Man and Dial-Up Guy).
Tell me about some close calls with your enemies. Who's the toughest?
BROADBAND MUN
That roof-top battle with Satellite Man was quite the fight. Whoo! I had to rest for a few days after. He was pretty tough. It was a four-hour battle. I wasn't sure what was going to happen. I was just faster and better than him.
All three of my arch-villains have their strengths and weaknesses. I just have to know how to fight each one. I have three enemies that I know of right now. There might be more out there.
How did you come to your calling as a superhero?
I always knew I had superpowers. Any superhero will tell you the same thing. Nothing specific calis us. You just know you have to do it. It's part of who you are. You don't ask a dog. "Hey, why are you a dog?" So you can't really ask a superhero why they are a superhero. You just are.
Well when did you start your work in the community as a superhero?
I've been working since 1995. That's when the broadband network started needing me. I had been working stealth and behind the scenes. I was always there when people needed me, but they didn't always know it was me. I decided to be public with subscribers about a year ago.
What did your mom say when you told her you were a superhero?
She said, "I always knew you would be." She just giggled and was tickled by it. I look up to my mom. She's always there

How's the dating scene in Lawrence treating a superhero? Any special ladies in your life?
Nope. Nobody special right now. I'm really busy. I couldn't devote the time. The public is my significant other.
What qualities does a superhero like yourself look for in a girlfriend?
Um, I don't know that we should go there. Every superhero has a private side of life that remains private.
Well, do you have time for friends?
Well, the superhero life can be a little lonely sometimes. I'm always working there is no time to stay in one spot a whole lot.
(turns to Mulligan, his boss who is in the room, and says) Hey, I can't make that thing. Sorry, yeah, I have class.
Wait, so you're a student?
No.
But you said you had class.
No...
Oh it must be superhero class then?
... (empty stare).
You know, there are a lot of people on campus, including callers to the Free For All, who say they know you. What do you say to them?
They definitely must be mistaken, I'd stick out in class.
Yeah, that would make it too hard to keep your identity secret, huh?
Exactly.
Exactly.
The superhero job seems tough. What keeps you going?
The smiles. The happy people. I get people who wave, honk, shout their support. Often, they see me and scream, "Hey! It's Broadband Man!" And then they just stare.

Students who just say no to sex

VIRGINITY
10 louelou 19.2.04
When Ryan Northup walks into the coffee shop where we've agreed to meet, the dark-haired, animated freshman smiles often and has an easy-going quality that makes me instantly comfortable with him. He talks with such candor and self-assurance about his decision not to have sex until marriage, I almost forget he is only 18 years old. He's a virgin, and he's not shy talking about his choice and the stigmas associated with being a college virgin.
Northup, Norman, Okla., freshman, is not alone in his sex-free lifestyle. According to a 2000 survey done by Playboy magazine, there has been a rise among the number of virgins and people in monogamous relationships in college. More than 2,000 students from public and private colleges in California, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Mississippi participated in the survey. The men polled said they were still virgins because they hadn't found the right person, whereas women said they were waiting until marriage to have sex.
A study conducted in 2000 by Zogby International, a polling group commissioned by the Foundation for Academic Standards, an organization of college, university and high school students, asked students whether they were sexually active. Only 56 percent responded that they were.
The reasons people have for waiting are as different as the people themselves. Megan Winkelman, Wichita junior, is remaining a virgin until marriage. The wide-eyed brunette tucks her hair behind her ear often, the only sign the self-assured business student gives that she is nervous. She says her choice to remain abstinent comes from the strong values instilled by her parents. College can be a tough environment for some people to stick to their convictions, she says, but she doesn't let
anyone's views affect her. Winkelman also says that staying a virgin hasn't been as difficult for her as it probably is for others because she hasn't been in a serious relationship since her freshman year. She has been in one serious relationship in her life, but says that her convictions are so strong sex was never a temptation for her.
Northup says his decision to abstain comes from his Christian beliefs. He is a Baptist — but says he is not a religious zealot. His faith is important, but it's not everything. "A lot of people think Christians see sex as a totally bad thing you're going to hell for," he says, "but ... sex is a thing to complement marriage and make it stronger."
Billie Lerner, sex therapist with the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists in Overland Park, says there are clear advantages not to have sex. One advantage is that the lack of experience can be a positive thing. She says sexual boredom is rarely an issue with people who abstained from sex for a long period of time. Lerner says that a lot of times students choose to have sex to feel an emotional attachment to another person, but afterward can feel guilty and unfulfilled.
Faye Heller, registered nurse and sex expert for Heartland Clinical Consultants in Topeka, says people usually have a regretful reaction to having sex if negative consequences such as pregnancy or a sexually transmitted disease plays a role.
Lerner adds that there can be negatives to waiting, although they are rare. She says that lack of sexual experience can cause marriages to struggle. Possibly the biggest deterrents students usually face in deciding to abstain from sex comes from their peers.
Northup is a member of Theta Chi fraternity and fits in well with the other guys in the house.

Although he loves being in a fraternity, he says sometimes it's hard to be around people who don't share his values. He says the hardest thing about his living situation is when he hears the guys talking about girls. "A lot of the times guys will be talking about the chick they got with last night — the morning after — who they're gonna hook up with tonight. I'm not about
that, that's not me. Sometimes it's hard to abstain from that, but it's not who I am."
Winkelman has similar feelings about her most difficult times virgin. She shlys says the hardest time for her to
"FOR ME, PHYSICAL LOVE IS NOT THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE DATING RELATIONSHIP."—RYAN NORTHUP, NORMAN, OKLA. FRESHMAN
maintain her strong convictions is when her friends are talking about their sex lives and she can't actively participate in conversation.
Winkelman says that how far she would go sexually would depend on what kind of relationship she's in and how well she knows the person she was with.
According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study, the number of sexually active students greatly increases as they continue through college. The study says that by the time students graduate, 86 percent will have had at least one
sexual partner.
Northup says that because people don't consider oral sex to be sex, neither does he. But he does have some qualms from his past and adds, "I have done some things that I personally regret. For me, physical love is not the main focus of the dating relationship."
Lerner, says that about one-third of students are virgins like Northup and Winkelman when they come to college, but many aren't when they leave. Lerner also adds that, unlike Northup and Winkelman, a large number of students don't remain virgins by choice. She says some may not have partners and wish they did. Lerner
Although Northup or Winkelman don't plan on having intercourse until they've walked down the aisle, it doesn't mean they aren't doing other physical things. Both define sex simply as intercourse.
does, however, see a lot of students who remain virgins by choice for religious reasons. She adds that students sometimes feel pressure to have sex because they feel that everyone else is
doing it.
To many sexually active college students, virginity is seen as taboo. People often stereotype virgins as religious fanatics or losers who can't get laid. In a survey conducted at Behrend College, at Pennsylvania State University, students associate virgins with words such as, bashful, quiet, shy and withdrawn.
Hannah, Wichita senior, is not a virgin and says that in her experience, virgins are either extremely devoted to their religious beliefs or they haven't had the opportunity to have sex — accidental virgins. She says she thinks it would be weird to date a guy who is still a virgin, but adds she has no problem having sex with one. In fact, she says, "I have Twice."
Northup says he is always on the market and looks forward to dating at the University. His idea of a perfect date is taking a girl on a picnic and then dancing in the moonlight to Frank Sinatra. Northup isn't shunning sex; he says he can't wait until the day it happens. "Trust me, sex is a very good thing," he says.

SAKE BOMBED
A boilermaker with a Japanese flair
P
By Meredith Desmond, Jayplaywriter
Maybe I'm lame, but I've never been a big fan of chugging beer. You will not see me shotgunning Keystone Lights in my garage like a crazed frat boy anytime soon. But if there's sake involved, I could change my mind. Sake makes beer go down much easier.
By day, Kokoro is a classy Japanese restaurant, the kind of place you'd want your parents to take you when they're in town. By closing time, the place transforms into a mess of beer mugs, shot glasses and chopsticks scattered on the bar, tables and floor. Nightfall brings out sake bombers in full force.
One Saturday night, three of my girlfriends and I decide to expand our global drinking horizons and give sake bombing atry. We get to Kokoro about 10, not knowing what to expect. As we walk in, sake-bombing veterans stare at us from Polaroids on the wall. Two special photos, set apart from the rest, proudly display the male and female record-holders for sake bombing at Kokoro: he drank 20; she drank 17. About 15 people are lined up in front of the bar, and they all look like they know what they're doing. We're new at this, and
we're scared.
Luckily, Joe Martinson and Brett Dietz, two birthday boys out with a group celebrating, take us under their wing and teach us the sake-bombing rules. They are as follows: set up the sake on chopsticks on top of a beer mug, slam on the bar to knock the shot glass into the mug and chug.
Bartender Royce Heitsch serves everyone a glass beer mug, a ceramic shot glass and a pair of chopsticks. He uses a pitcher of Bud Light to fill up the mugs halfway, then fills up the shot glasses from a pitcher of sake. Martinson and Dietz show us how to set up the two chopsticks on top of the mugs — they have to be spaced close enough for the shot glass to rest on top of them easily, but far enough apart to allow the glass to drop into the beer. There is a science to this, and Heitsch says once a guy likened it to playing a game of drunken Jenga. After everyone's set up, we're ready to bomb.
Two guys at the other end of the bar start yelling at everyone to do spirit fingers in preparation for the chug. OK, now jazz hands, they tell us. We all comply, then Heitsch yells from behind the bar, "Sake, sake, sake BOMB." There's a collective slamming of fists on the bar, shot glasses fall into beer mugs, then there's complete silence as everyone chugs. This is the routine that will continue all night: slam, splash, silence.
The sake-beer combo is not hard to swallow, and the drink goes down smoothly. Sake bombs don't have a welldefined taste, but after Martinson's fifth bomb, he shares a little bit of insight with me.
"Ittastes like candy corn to me, for some reason," he says.
As the great Willy Wonka said in *Willy Wonka* and the *Chocolate Factory*: "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker." It's true — Heitsch says each sake bake is made of
6sixounces of beer and one shot of sake, which in itself is 15 percent alcohol. That plus chugging in rapid succession is a dangerous combination that all but guarantees a quick trip to Blitzville. After three of these, I am giggling.
Heitsch says Kokoro has been serving sake bombs since the day it opened, almost five years ago. What he doesn't know is where sake bombing came from. In fact, the history of sake bombing is a mystery, but sake experts say it is an American invention.
a traditional drink with a long history and strict, precise brewing process. Many of the cheap American versions of sake are not traditionally brewed and have alcohol added to speed up the process, sacrificing taste. Americans don't care because they're mixing it with beer. Even so, Gauntner does give credit to a growing group of American sake drinkers who

There's definitely an appreciation for sake amongst sake bombers, even if it's an Americanized one. There's something about the atmosphere and enthusiasm for sake bombing that brings a bunch of random people together to have a great time pounding bartops and chugging drinks.

The longest running tap
151201
By Liz Beggs, Jayplaywriter
It would be inaccurate to say Johnny's is a party every night, but Rick Renfro, Johnny's
owner, guarantees that while there might not be anything illegal going on, there is always something immoral. With bragging rights to a 50-year-running-tap, Johnny's Tavern is a bar with an extensive history that complements its current tradition.
his rugby buddies.
In 1953, the hard-drinking John White took over the building at 2nd and Locust and created a bar from what used to be his father's tractor supply store. Renfro remembers the 6-foot-3 White as a nice guy when he was sober, but a mean drunk that would at times throw out patrons from the bar. As rough as that may sound, the next day White would always call and apologize for his drunken behavior. White maintained ownership until '78 when Renfro took over to create a drinking haven for
Johnny's Tavern, where every day is a holiday and every meal a feast
He danced smothered in baby oil, did a little booty shake, a little flex, wearing nothing more than a purple Crown Royal bag. The women screamed, hollered, whistled and threw their hands up to place bids for the man of the moment. I stood back, watching the bar I frequent turn into something little more than a male revue. There was a rugged, chap-wearing, behind-showing cowboy, a truck-driving redneck with his white sleeveless shirt and massive arms and a fireman who set the stage ablaze with his groove. That night last spring, the rugby team took over Johnny's Tavern, 410 N. 2nd St., for its team fundraiser; a male auction.
In fact, rugby was the inspiration behind the name for the new addition to the bar. Benrof says he wanted
hemo says he worked to re-name Johnny's to the "Up and Under," a rugby term that means kicking the ball up and running underneath it. Customers couldn't get the hang of the new name and kept referring to the bar as Johnny's. So when the bar above Johnny's opened up, he coined that the Up and Under and left Johnny's Tavern as is.
Soon after, Renfro broke ground to add another section to the building. While the

crew was digging, it came across an old tombstone belonging to an unknown Betty Gailes that was washed up from a flood in the early 1900s. Calling it fate, the crew named the new bar Betty's and even showcased the tombstone.

In the '90s, Johnny's, the Up and Under and Betty's used to all managed as separate businesses, but currently they are one establishment. Both the Up an Under, on the second floor, and Betty's on the ground floor, can be opened up and used for events such as graduation parties because the sections provide access to the main bar and privacy for a
party.
The clientele at Johnny's has not changed much over the years, Renfro
Illustration by Austin Gilmore
e at Johnny's has not over the years, Renfro says. Because of its location next to the highway and train tracks, the bar gets a lot of drifters. But it is also a college town favorite and has its hooks in previous generations. Renfro described the bar's crowd as an
eclectic mix of people ranging from bikers to bankers. On any particular night, you could see an elderly man sitting next to a guy who just turned 21. And on Wednesday nights, Steve Carrington says that Johnny's turns into a bar that is "triple platinum, where bling is king." The diverse crowd is the best part of Johnny's, and Renfro says that out of all his patrons, it is grade school teachers on the last day of school who are the wildest bunch.
And grade school teachers aren't the only people to cause a little ruckus. Like other bars in town, Johnny's has had its share of fights. Bartenders Blair Barr and Will Lenz remember times when pool cues have been used as weapons, heads have been slammed into the pinball machine and every once in a while, poor drunk guys are thrown out hollering from the bar. But these types of fisticuffs are not a regular occurrence at Johnny's any more than the occasional Halloween spotting of a Richard Simmons look-alike or grown men wearing nothing but Speedos and sports bras, trying to pass as members of the Women's U.S. Beach Volleyball team. The Ultimate Frisbee team doesn't regularly throw costume parties where members strip the tournament MVP naked, shove a Frisbee in his butt crack and carry him around the bar cheering. But it is the irregularities of Johnny's and the diversity of the clientele that keep Johnny's a town favorite.

Sideways
(★★★)
R,123 minutes
Starts tomorrow at Liberty Hall
Paul Giamatti plays to type. This usually spells unoriginality and boredom but with Giamatti it means something different. As we watch Giamatti in Sideways, playing yet another middle age sad sack, we feel as though we are watching him anew. All thought of American Splendor or the farther removed Man on the Moon is washed away. A new, not improved, and more emotive and gentler man emerges.
A week before his best friend Jack's (Thomas Hayden Church) wedding, Miles (Gaimatti) and Jack set out to California's wine country to celebrate. Miles tries relentlessly to share his love of wine with
Jack, who is really more of a beer and pizza kind of guy. Jack's main goal on the trip is to sow his wild oats and try to do the same for Miles, and when they come across a good-natured waitress named Maya (Virginia Madsen) and a wild vineyard worker named Stephanie (Sandra Oh). Jack gets exactly what he wants while Miles ends up with more then he bargained for.
Directed by About Schmidt and Election helmer Alexander Payne, Sideways is no average buddy road-trip movie. Sure, they set out on a trip, tell some lies to meet some girls, secrets are revealed, etc., but it's handled so maturely that it feels like these guys are teaching us some valuable lessons. I will admit I felt a tad unimpressed by all the "wine-as-people" metaphors (wine gets better with age, so do people, etc.) that are beat into our
heads with an unrelenting force, but overall I felt for Giamatti. Giamatti and Madsen are an unlikely match who work best when discussing their favorite wine and life (damn those metaphors!), and work way better than vulgar Jack and his few night stands with Stephanie.
Lindsey Ramsey
Sideways works because of Payne's care for these characters, and as a result they seem to care for each other. Jack and Miles' friendship or Miles and Maya's flirtation - all the relationships are smart and introspective. And although I felt perhaps I was missing something being a college-aged girl and not a middle-aged man, I still felt satisfied with the flavor the film delivered.

R 173 minutes
There is something movie critic Roger Ebert said once on his TV show: No good movie is too long and no bad movie is too short. The second part definitely applies to Oliver Stone's three-hour epic Alexander. It's surprising that a film saturated with such talent as director and writer Stone and a cast of actors such as Anthony Hopkins, Val Kilmer, Angelina Jolie and Colin Farrell, playing Alexander the Great, can be so uninteresting.
Stone has been behind some of the most memorable films of the past 20 years, such as Platoon and Born on the $4^{\text{th}}$ of July, and packs his films full of symbolism and moral lessons. Alexander is no different. Ptolemy (Anthony Hopkins) tells the story of the life and death of
Alexander, the man who conquered the known world when he was 25. While the film does a good job of recreating the steps Alexander took in his world conquest, its biggest struggle is trying to explain who Alexander as a person really was and how his life shaped his actions. It is easy to see why Farrell was cast in the role of Alexander. Most of the acting is done by his eyes and the intensity they bring to the character.
Alexander suggests a lot of things — he was just a scared little boy afraid of his father, he was a closet homosexual, he had sexual relations with his mother — but these issues are never taken beyond a level of innuendo and feel like a waste of the audience's time. Even at three hours, it feels like there is a lot of this movie that is left out, jumping at the chance to appear on a special edition DVD.

named Bobby eats windowpane with his big brother before a series of tragedies orphan the poor kid and he has to go live with another family. After an extended prologue, Farrell shows up about 25 minutes in as the adult Bobby. Hooking up with an old boyfriend and his hippie roommate in New York City, Bobby maintains an almost childlike euphoria, either
9-year-old.
Michael Cunningham adapted the screenplay from his bestselling novel (he also wrote the gay-themed The Hours). The film gives the characters too much breathing room in the last 30 minutes, so that we're left with too few people with too little to say. Farrell and strong supporting performances
by Sissy Spacek and Robin Wright Penn hold the movie together. And in translating Cunningham's vision of the free love garden of the '60s withering in the wake of the AIDS epidemic, the ending achieves a quiet, tremulous power. The DVD is scant on special features - just a trailer and brief interviews with the cast and crew.

HARRY SCHREIBER
Blade: Trinity, New Line has released a two-pack of the film's well-received prequels, starring Wesley Snipes as the tortured vampire slayer. The character first appeared in the Marvel comic Tomb of Dracula in 1972, and the main badie in Stephen Norrington's 1998 film adapta-
tion, Deacon Frost, figured heavily in Blade's comic-book adventures. Stephen Dorff as Frost is the best part of the original movie, which opens with a smashingly kinetic fight scene (who could forget all that blood spurting out of the sprinkler system?) and then turns tepid and stylistically flat. Guillermo Del Toro's vastly superior 2002 sequel has style to burn and genuinely shocking horror effects throughout. The package comes with a bonus disc with a preview of the new film.

film grossed $23 million in the late summer of 1999, and it's never won the audience it deserves. A subtle cautionary tale about the '50s Red Scare, the film centers on a sprightly kid from Maine named Hogarth Hughes who befriends a 100-foot tail robot that's really a walking weapon of mass destruction. First-rate voice work by Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr. and Vin Diesel lend a giant-size soul to this gentle fable, which is right up there with Steven Spielberg's E.T. in its child's-eye view of governmental paranoida run amok. The disc includes commentary by Bird and sketches of deleted scenes.

Cocktail of the week
Singapore Sling
Pineapple Cream
Singapore has some of the strictest laws in the world, but that doesn't mean one of the most delightful cocktails in the world didn't originate there. The Singapore Sling was created by Hainanese-Chinese bartender Ngiam Tong Boon for the Raffles Hotel in Singapore sometime between 1910 and 1915. Originally it was meant for women's drink, hence
the pink color. Many people disagree as to how closely the current version of the cocktail served. Apparently the original recipe was lost and forgotten sometime in the '30s, and since then it seems everyone has argued that their way is "the right way." The recipe here is based on the memories of former bartenders at the Raffles and the written notes they discovered.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 ounce gin
1/2 ounce Wild Cherry Brandy
1/4 ounce Cointreau
1/4 ounce Benedictine
4 ounces pineapple juice
1/2 ounce lime juice
1/3 ounce grenadine
1/3 ounce grenadine dash bitters
Shake with ice. Strain into an ice-filled 12 oz. Tom Collins glass. Garnish with cherry and slice of pineapple.

Client City
On the environmentally aware cartoon "Captain Planet," Gaia, the spirit of Earth, gave five magic rings representing the elements Earth, Fire, Wind, Water and Heart to five eco-friendly youngsters known henceforth as the Planateers. With these rings, the Planeaters sought to combat aerosol can, oil freighters and things of that nature. I suspect however, that Gaia also gave the power of the elements to musicians, which is now reflected in the albums they made. She (hypothetically) gave the elements Earth, Wind and Fire to the band Earth, Wind and Fire, if for no other reason than that is the name of the band and it would make sense to do so. The same goes for Heart. Lastly, I'm assuming that Gaia assigned the power of Water to Client. I'm also assuming that the aforementioned Water is more like tap water than a mighty ocean.
Like tap water, Client is bland, low density and more than a little boring. City, the electroclash duo's second album, is all clunky, cacophonic loops and comatose lyrics delivered with Ben Steinel-like intensity. Nearly all the tracks show promise, but unimaginative breaks and beats stultify the album and doom it to the wastebasket of this dead or dying genre. Even the guest appearance of Carl Barat (the Libertine without the drug problem) on "Pornography" is rendered ineffectual by the album's overall aversion to anything spirited or moving. The one bright needle in this vermicular haystack is "Cracked," a swelling sonic landscape a Wish You Were Here-era Pink Floyd. It's also only 48 seconds long.
City closes appropriately with "Everything Must End," a reminder that if we remain steadfast, all things, including bad albums and nonsensical reviews, will pass some time.
Grade: D+
U2 How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
— Dave Ruigh
The cleverly-titled How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb might as well be a soundtrack to what U2 has accomplished during the past 28 years. Though never completely straying away from its trademark arena-rock sound, filled with the always-amazing guitar work from the Edge, U2 has definitely represented several different eras of its career on this album. The opening track and first single, "Vertigo," is a reminder that U2 can indeed rock so much to compete with the average "alternative" band from the '90s, and easily could have been placed on Zooropa or Pop. The beautiful "Miracle Drug," a dramatic and radio-ready song that could have been found on 2000's All That You Can't Leave Behind. "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own," with its ringing guitars and soaring vocals,
could have been an outtake on *The Joshua Tree*. "Love and Peace or Else" even could have made it on 1984's *The Unforgettable Fire*. And that's just the first four tracks on the album.
One thing is for sure — U2 is best when they try to sound like U2. The band's weaker albums tended to be its more experimental efforts. U2's last album, All That You Can't Leave Behind, definitely did show the band returning to its more conservative style reminiscent of the '80s after several years of experimentation. But this album sounds more like U2 than the band ever has before. Lead singer Bono's lyrics are also more personal on this album than they ever have been. The result of all this makes for the best U2 album since the band's 1991 masterpiece Achtung Baby.

Who?? The Holy Ghost
Chris Heine- vocals
Kent Heine- bass
Angela Webster- drums, vocals
Alec Ferrell- guitar, vocals
The Holy Ghost is a very melodic indie- rock group who recently played at the College Music Journal Music Marathon in New York City. They have been active since 2001, and are now touring nationwide in support of their latest record Well...Get Your Funeral Shoes. Lead vocalist Chris Heine describes the band's sound as moody and naughty — but naughty in the serious but fun sense. Though they now reside in NVC, Heine and his brother, bassist Kent Heine, grew up in our good oil' neighbor to the north, Nebraska.
Q & A with Chris Heine, lead vocalist of The Holy Ghost
If you weren't a musician, what would your other dream job be?
Heine: I would be a horse trainer in Kentucky. I think that would be the most laidback lifestyle. The idea of smoking cigarettes and training horses all day just appeals to me.
Heine: Columbus Day. It's just so funny how people scream back and forth about it. Some people think it's appropriate. Some people think it's inappropriate. But these arguments are pointless and humorous to me. There's nothing much we can do. People are worked up over nothing.
What's your favorite holiday and why?
Which cartoon you watched on TV as a kid should they bring back? Heine: Underdog. You know, the one about the superhero little dog. "Have no fear, Underdog is here!"
Name two places you've always wanted to visit but haven't.
Heine: Tokyo and Rome.
How many cassette tapes do you own?
Heine: About 50, and they're all from the early '90s.
Do you still listen to them?
Heine: Well, I should. Every once in awhile I do, but I mostly listen to records and CDs.

Metroid Prime 2:
Echoes
There are some games that when you first get into the series, you hate it and
never want to play again.
Then there are games where you hate them and then you do a complete 180 and end up actually enjoying them. Metroid is becoming that game series for me. I remember my first shot at a Metroid game with *Metroid 2: Return of Samus* for Gameboy when I was about 7-years-old. I couldn't stand it. With no map, I quickly got lost and went in circles for years.
play, I couldn't stop. Then I found out that Metroid Prime was coming back with a sequel. So I decided to give the first Metroid Prime a try. Once I started, I knew I was ready for the second coming.

Samus is back in her 2nd 3D installment.
Metroid Prime 2:
Echoes first starts off as a rescue mission. You are given the task to assist space marines on a planet called Aether. You find all the marines dead when you arrive, but they soon come back to life and attack you. You soon find out that the reason for this is because a light and dark world of Aether both exist. You must now save Light
Aether from the Ing Horde that resides in Dark Aether. You must travel between the two worlds in order to solve Samus' latest mystery.
Like the old-style fashion of Metroid games, the entire planet is one big maze. You must go back and forward through areas gathering items, solving puzzles, and defeating creatures in order to save the day. This is only the second Metroid game that is a 3D first-person shooter. The other games were 2D side-scrollers. It switched to 3D when the first Prime was released. The 3D graphics are superb in the Prime series. Lush environments give the game great visuals. Also the added details are great. For instance, when you fire your arm cannon in rapid succession, you can see steam start to rise off the barrell of it.
Samus has a whole array of weapons that she can utilize. Old favorites like the charge beam, grapple beam and morph ball return. However new items are introduced like the light and dark beam. These two weapons are crucial in order for you to succeed in your mission. Not only are these powerful weapons, but they serve as keys to gain access to both Light and
Dark Aether. Also when fighting enemies in both worlds they can do extra damage they are vunerable to it. For instance, The light beam is really useful when fighting ing creatures in Dark Aether.
For the first time ever,Metroid now supports a multiplier function. You can either fight in deathmatches where whoever gets the most kills wins, or play Bounty Mode matches in which the object of the game is to collect the most coins in an allotment of time. This feature is fun, but can go by fast.
Samus returns to save the galaxy once again. The interwine of the two worlds makes the game huge and players will spend hours trying to find the secrets of both worlds. The puzzles and bosses make it a real challenge. I may not of liked Samus at first, but with what I've seen in the past year, I'm finally starting to come around.

Nose-deen in holy water
The almost tame confessions of a
Nose-deep in holy water
Britney Spears ruined everything for me. She had to release her first tasty pop anthem just as I was trying to adjust to life at an all-girl Catholic high school. She
pranced about in a plaid uniform in her video, imploring the world to hit that Catholic school-girl fantasy one more time.
I didn't have blonde pigtails.
And if I had worn my shirt and skirt like Britney's, the nuns would have branded a scarlet "A" onto my midriff. When I put on my uniform every morning, I figured I might as well give up on maintaining my street cred.
By Samia Khan, Jayplay writer
When my family moved to
Omaha the summer before I started high school, I was still one of those jaded, hardcore, public-school kids. That's when my mother dropped the news. "You need discipline and a good education, so we're going to put you in a Catholic school." She wasn't done. "Oh, you'll have to wear a uniform." She paused once more before unleashing the last piece of her Holy Trinity. "One more thing. It's an all-girls school."
Both my mother and sister had gone to
Catholic school. But we weren't Catholic and I already had years of socialization in the public school system. My grades were good and I wasn't pregnant. I could see no
reason for this change except some sinister desire my mother had to punish me for sins she thought I was predestined to commit.
So I made it my goal to be as undisciplined as possible at Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart. But within two years,the comrades I met gradually transformed my plans for revolution. These women were my saving grace.
In a class of 56, we couldn't afford
to have cliques. But humans always gravitate into loose packs. Our pack of 11 girls was the token diverse group the school touted in every recruitment video and photographed for every pamphlet. Among my friends were a Protestant, a Buddhist, an Irish immigrant, an Italian-Iranian and me, the daughter of Indian immigrants. We stood out in every sense, so we took on the role with gusto.
Our boisterous group dynamic was proof to me that I didn't have to tear down
The almost tame confessions of a Catholic school girl
the system to avoid being bland. We were childishly rebellious, but we attempted patience and restraint when needed. The synthesis didn't always meld with the traditional routine of our school's establishment.
Take Mass, for example. We had one almost every week. My friends and I tried not to be disrespectful. But Mass just felt so long when the administration cruelly decided to schedule it right before lunch, making it harder for us to skip. We whispered jokes and passed notes in our pew. Nobody ever noticed — that is, until the day the priest read scripture from Matthew 6:3. The only part of the passage our finely tuned ears picked up was, "Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing." We immediately took that to a not-so-holy-place.
Glancing at each other, we knew what the others was thinking, and we laughed raucously in unison. Everyone turned and stared, including the long, somber row of faculty sitting to our right. The math teacher, who sounded like a pirate when she talked, frowned and grumbled an unhappy, "Yarrgrh," at us. Other girls smiled and choked back muffled laughs. The priest interceded and looked confused.
Our outburst earned us an immediate trip to a conference with the dean of students and the counselor. They sternly reminded us to be respectful in church. Laughing during the homily was not conduct becoming a proper young lady.
My high school friends became the closest friends I would ever have. They supported me through every part of my public-school-kid-meets-private-school-lady metamorphosis. They were there for my punk phase, helping me start mosh pits at prom. They cheered my urban phase, when instead of a report on Beowulf, I wrote and performed a rap about it.
I wish I could tell the pubescent boys of the world that the Catholic school-girl fantasy is always true. But after four of the best years of my life, I discovered we found joy in the mundane rebellions, not in the skanky pop stereotype.
We became young ladies while making jokes during Mass. We were confident women when we refused to wear crew socks on hot days. We embraced our individuality while arguing the merits of Ethan Frome. And when images like Britney threatened our street cred, we snuck out to the parking lot for a smoke.

Charles Gordon tries to slip out of the grasp of a Missouri defensive player during the first quarter of the game Nov. 20 at Faurot Field. The Jayhawks won the game 34-31.
Joining Gordon on the first team is senior defensive end David McMillan. The selections were made by the Big 12 coaches in balloting revealed by the Big 12 Conference. According to conference officials, coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players.
Kansas has not had a first-team selection since defensive tackle Nate Dwyer was selected three years ago, according to the Kansas Athletic Media Relations office. In addition, the defensive tandem's selection is the first time two Jayhawks were elected to the first team in one season.
Just one team in the Big 12 had a single player selected to the All-Big 12 Team on offense and defense.
Kansas sophomore Charles Gordon, who led the nation in interceptions with seven, was a first team All-Big 12 selection on defense. He also received honorable mention honors as a wide receiver. Gordon caught a pass, including several for touchdowns, in most of Kansas' games this season.

Kansas coach Bill Self said there was a difference between his team's close opening victory against Vermont and its two blowout victories over St. Joseph's and Nevada.
"If you were just going to say what's been the biggest difference," Self said, "I may just say Aaron Miles."
While freshman guard Russell Robinson has received a lot of attention — and rightfully so after scoring 13 points in 16 minutes against Nevada — Miles has remained the most steady and efficient performer for the Jayhawks.
Against Nevada Monday, Miles scored eight points, but more importantly involved his teammates by distributing 10 assists without a single turnover.
"He does his thing, but it's never really recognized," senior guard Mike Lee said. "Every night he goes out and gets the job done, despite all the criticism he's faced since he's been here."
Sometimes chided for lacking a consistent outside shot, Miles has found
other ways to contribute.
"Aaron has taken care of the basketball," Self said. "We've run more and probably more effectively. Our perimeter defense has gotten us more easy baskets and our perimeter players have lent the defense honest."
Self complimented the senior guard on both his defensive intensity and also his ability to push the ball in transition.
Miles said he felt that the team had performed better since the opening game against Vermont because it had been able to get more into the flow of the game.
"It was the first game and everyone was anxious," Miles said. "The biggest thing we've done is calmed down, relaxed and played under control. I think I in particular was out of control in the Vermont game."
"He's done that since day one."
Miles, who is Kansas' only four-year starter, has earned respect from teammates with the most important statistic: victories. While a starter, Kansas has compiled a 90-21 record with Miles leading from the point guard position.
"He does what I think all point guards in college, NBA and high school basketball should do, and that's win," Lee said.
Lee said he had also noticed Miles leadership in practices, where the guard has come early for extra shooting, become more vocal and spent extra time helping the freshmen learn the new plays.
more conscious of that lately."
Miles said he wouldn't mind adding a few more double-digit assist games this season.
"I try to tell Aaron a lot of times, Whatever you do, we're going to take your lead." Lee said. "I think he's been
"As long as we win," Miles said, "I would love to have ten assist-games every game."

'Hawks finally find hoop

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The women's basketball team is in the middle of a three game winning streak and is coming off its best offensive performance of the season. But an unexpected Division II challenge from Topea will visit the 3-1 Jayhawks tonight at Allen Fieldhouse.
Tonight's 7 p.m. contest against the Washburn Lady Blues, 3-0 and ranked ninth in the WBCA Division II poll, could be the most difficult matchup so far for Kansas.
"Most people don't realize how good Washburn is." Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "They have excellent guard play and we understand that."
In addition to solid backcourt play, the Lady Blues have relied on a potent front court duo in three blowout victories. Senior center Carla Sinatra leads the Washburn offense with 16 points and 7.5 rebounds a game. She is teamed with sophomore forward Brooke Uberlaker, who averages 10 points.
Seven other Lady Blues average at least four points per contest, which demonstrates the balance and depth of Washburn's roster. Washburn's lineup also features 10 players that play at least 10 minutes per game
The depth and balanced scoring has the undefeated Lady Blues blowing away the competition. In its first three games of the season, Washburn has beaten the competition by an average of 36 points.
Kansas, which is coming off a blowout of its own with a 67-44 victory versus Denver, is taking the game seriously.
LANSAS
"We're going to go in there like we do any other game," junior forward Crystal Kemp said. "We can't underestimate any team."
Washburn is a top 10 team, has posted impressive victories and has not lost, but Kansas has momentum of its own. The Jayhawks have won three games in a row and used their best offensive performance yet in Tuesday's victory.
Junior guard Erica Hallman said that nothing changed in Tuesday's game, but that the offense just finally got some shots to fall.
Kansas finally found its offensive rhythm in the Denver game and continued its string of solid team defensive games. Jayhawk shooters shot early and often to jump on top of the Pioneers with a 26-point halftime lead and shooting 64 percent from the field.
Two local Charles Grubers equal twice the fun
Charles Gruber, Lawrence resident of 33 years, makes the most of sharing a name with a famous KU alumnus runner. Charlie Gruber is a 2002 KU graduate and ran the 1,500-meter in the 2004 Olympics in Athens. Charles Gruber is a real estate broker in Lawrence.

You are about to embark on a tale of two Charles Grubers. The older of the two is a 59-year-old real estate broker and well-known character. The younger goes by Charlie and is a 26-year-old distance track star, 2004 Olympian and University of Kansas alumnus. Both live in Lawrence.
At 15th and New York streets there is a house known for the large mural of a garden painted on its side. A dead cherry tree painted blue with matching blue bottles strung from the branches stands in the yard.
The house belongs to Charles Gruber and his wife, Khabira. Gruber is known around town for what he calls his "outre antics."
He runs an advertisement in the Lawrence Journal-World every Friday, each with a philosophical or comical saying or quotation. Tomorrow's will be, "What hits the fan is not always evenly distributed."
"I was traveling across the country in a school bus with a bunch of hippies, cats and dogs on the way to yet another concert," he said. "We ran out of gas here and it seemed like a good place to

However, Gruber's name would soon be synonymous with something other than reality. In 1997, a kid from Denver came to town to run track at the University of Kansas.
He made a name for himself at Hedges Real Estate and was named Realtor of the Year by the Lawrence Board of Realtors in 1998.
to Lawrence, which later became Metric Motors. After operating his garage for more than a decade, he moved into the real estate business in 1987.
The runner garnered the attention of the Lawrence community by placing 11th in the 1,500 meters at the NCAA Championships as a sophomore.
He made headlines his senior year by breaking the four-minute mile.
The kid's name, of course, was Charlie Gruber. When he graduated from KU in 2002 as a five-time All-American, outdoor and indoor track combined, he had become Lawrence's most recognizable Gruber.
Charlie stayed in town after graduating. Was Lawrence big enough for two Grubers? Apparently it is, though both
"People ask me about him," Charlie said. "And I've seen his signs around town. A lot of people ask me if we're related."
Charles said he had received dozens of phone calls and letters in the last couple of years from people mistaking him for the runner. When Charlie qualified for the Olympics this summer, Charles said he got a call from a reporter, fan or old friend of Charlie's every few days.
Grubbers said people frequently inquired about the other.
Charlie doesn't list his number in the phone book.
Khabira, who has been married to Charles for 20 years, usually picks up the phone at home. She now responds "Which one?" when callers ask for Mr. Gruber.
"I've tried to get his number so we can give it to the people who call for him," she said. "But I haven't been able to."
Khabira said they had also received letters from fans and friends of Charlie, writing to wish him good luck in races.

Questions 'grill' chancellor
Hemenway answers football facility, money questions
BY STEPHANE FARLEY

KANSAN STAMP WRITER
At a question-and-answer session with students last night, Chancellor Robert Hemenway addressed speculation about a new football facility being built between the Campanile and Memorial Stadium.
If the facility was built, people might not be able to watch Kansas football games from the hill and students might not be able to walk down the hill for graduation.

Nothing will interfere with students walking down the hill at graduation, Hemenway said.
Henry Way said. "That's as close to a sacred tradition as you can get at a secular university," he said.

Hemenway answered students' questions last night at a forum dubbed "Chancellor's Questions," held at the Hawk's Nest on the first floor of the Kansas Union.
Students at the University of Kansas were able to ask Hemenway any questions they wanted while they ate a free bowl of chill. About 25 students attended the event.

Flu shot clinic planned for campus
Dec. 12 clinic will offer 1,300 doses at the fieldhouse

The clinic will be similar to one held Oct. 23 at Free State High School,4700 Overland Drive, in northwest Lawrence
Watkins Memorial Health Center and the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department are teaming up to host another flu clinic from noon to 4 p.m. Dec. 12 at Allen Fieldhouse.
Strother said she would like to see at
least one thing done differently.
At least 1,300 doses of the vaccine will be available, said Myra Strother, director of health services at Watkins.
She said people who come to the clinic were asked not to come early because the clinic would not open until noon.
People who went to the flu clinic at Free State came as early as 2:30 a.m. The clinic didn't open until 10 a.m.
As a result, hundreds of people shivered in the cold and waited just to get into the building.
Strother said she suggested that people could wait in their cars if they wanted to come early.
Blankets the health department provided were limited, and there weren't enough for everyone.

"There's four hours when the clinic will be open," she said. "Everyone who wants a vaccine should be able to get one."

Dance party to feature Latin,salsa music
BY NIKOLA ROWE

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
"Get out of your weekend routine," Andrea Pantoja, Mission junior, said.
Pantoja, HALO president, encourages all KU students to come and experience the clubbing scene along with some Latin spice. Latin, salsa, hip-hop and reggae music will be provided by the DIs.
"Salsa dancing is in demand," Pantoia said.
She said HALO members kept getting questions about where to get Salsa lessons. She told the members to make sure to not be afraid to meet new people and to help them with learning the steps.
The group put together the dance party, Invierno, to be held at the Moon Bar, 821 Iowa St., and features disc jockey Danny Jalapeno and disc jockey 151. Invierno means winter in Spanish.
The Hispanic American Leadership Organization will spice up the dance floor Saturday night.
Juan Gonzalez, Bronx, N.Y. freshman and social chairman for HALO, said that the music should draw a diverse crowd. The group wants this to be a big night, he said.
After months of planning, the main contribution to the party is from the Dls.
They are volunteering their time, paying for the venue and the flyers for the event. Gonzalez said.
Ronald Ruiz, DJ 151 and owner of 151 Entertainment, wants to support HALO by getting its name out. He is a great guy and our No. 1 promoter, Gonzalez said.
"I just noticed that there wasn't enough events for HALO and I wanted to change that," Ruiz said.
Ruiz has done a lot of parties for other organizations but he wanted to get involved with HALO because of his heritage.
"Being Hispanic, I feel that there is not enough older Latinos helping the younger out," Ruiz said.

Putin addresses election crisis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KIEV, Ukraine — Russian President Vladimir Putin injected himself directly into the election crisis in this former Soviet republic yesterday, strongly attacking the opposition's central demand for a new presidential runoff.
Tens of thousands of opposition supporters waving Ukrainian flags and wearing orange armbands, sweaters and scarves rallied for the 11th straight day in Independence Square. While awaiting a Supreme Court ruling on whether to throw out the results of the disputed election, they listened to rock bands and watched large-screen televisions broadcasting the court sessions.
21 runoff. Protesters kept up their blockade of the Cabinet building, banging on drums improvised from metal canisters, the sound echoing off the walls of the imposing Stalin-era building.
The demonstrators erected a Christmas tree - also bright orange, which is the emblematic color of their movement - in the tent camp they have maintained since shortly after the Nov.
"Neither Russia, nor the European Union, nor international organizations will solve the problems," he said outside Moscow. "They all can play the role of mediators, but the Ukrainian people have the last word."
Following Putin's remarks, President Bush issued a warning that appeared to be directed at Russia. If there is to be a new election, it "ought to be free from any foreign influence." Bush said in comments that were considered more forceful than those he has made in the past.
Putin, hosting Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, again issued a warning to the West.
Minister Viktor Yanukovych in the election. The Kremlin fears that a victory by opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko, who favors closer ties with the West, could drag this country of 48 million out of Moscow's orbit and generate pressure for greater democracy in Russia.
Putin had openly supported Prime
The Supreme Court is considering an appeal by Yushchenko's campaign to invalidate the result of the runoff, which the Central Election Commission said Yanukovych won by about 900,000 votes. The appeal centers on claims of widespread violations across the prime minister's strongholds in the east and south, near Russia.
The 18 red-robed justices began hearing final arguments but adjourned hours after dark without a decision.
If the court sides with Yushchenko, it would put him in a strong negotiating position with Kuchma to schedule a repeat runoff.

Former police commissioner to lead Homeland Security
WASHINGTON — President Bush has chosen former New York police commissioner Bernard Kerik, who helped direct the emergency response to the Sept. 11 terrorist strikes against the Twin Towers, to lead the Homeland Security Department, charged with safeguarding Americans from future attack, administration officials said yesterday.
for less than six months. He had been mentioned as a candidate for secretary of state, a job Bush gave to National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice.

In a third development, U.N. Ambassador John Danforth submitted his resignation after holding the job
The flurry of moves came as Bush reshaped his team for his second term in office. Seven members of the 15-member Cabinet have submitted their resignations; Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson also appears to be preparing to leave.
Kerik inherits a sprawling bureaucracy from Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, who resigned last month. The creation of the department in 2003 combined 22 disparate federal agencies with more than 180,000 employees. The organization is still learning to work together and faces criticism over aspects from the coordination of finances to computer systems.

The body of Shirley Vian is carried from her house in 1977 in Wichita after being murdered by serial killer BTK. Authorities are testing the DNA of an arrested man to see if he has any connection to the 1970s killings.
Police say no arrest made in BTK killings
TOMMY CALVIN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — Police insisted yesterday afternoon they have not made an arrest in the BTK serial killings case. Police chief Norman Williams called the speculation about an arrest a "travesty."
"We have not, I repeat, we have not, made an arrest in connection to BTK." Williams told reporters yesterday afternoon.
Williams did not take any questions from reporters, and his statement to the media did not directly address the arrest of a man taken into custody Wednesday night on minor trespassing and housing code violations.
"It is a travesty when you look at the impact on a neighborhood because of the fact that people assume the Wichita Police Department was making an arrest in regards to BTK," Williams said.
Earlier yesterday, state police said authorities were testing a man's DNA to see if he had any connection with the BTK serial killings that terrorized the city in the 1970s. Since the 1980s, police have tested hundreds of samples of blood and DNA in the case. authorities noted.
Earlier yesterday, Wichita police spokeswoman Janet Johnson said investigators had received thousands of tips in the case. If people named in the tips have outstanding warrants, they were picked up, she said. That's what happened Wednesday night, when the man was arrested, she said.
Kansas Bureau of Investigation spokesman Kyle Smith also cautioned yesterday that the man may not have anything to do with the case.
Wichita police declined to confirm whether they had received yet the results of the
man's DNA testing.
"DNA has been a godsend for the investigation," Smith said. "It allows us to eliminate people quickly."
Smith said BTK investigators had taken mouth swabs of a number of suspects, sometimes after arrests unrelated to the murder investigation. New techniques now allow DNA results within 12 hours, he said.
The man was picked up for an outstanding warrant related to a
criminal trespassing warrant was related to domestic violence, according to the jail booking log. Police declined to release any additional details.
The killer — known by the self-coined nickname BTK, which stands for "Bind, Torture, Kill" — is linked to eight unsolved homicides between 1974 and 1986. After years of silence, the killer surfaced in messages earlier this year.
State regulators say minors get cigarettes too easily
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Minors are finding it far too easy to get their hands on a pack of cigarettes in Kansas, so state regulators said stricter enforcement — and stiffer penalties — are needed.
Tom Groneman, director of the Kansas Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, said yesterday that compliance with a state law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco to minors had fallen to 62 percent in 2004 from 80 percent in 2003.
The 80 percent threshold is important financially.
Kansas must maintain that level as part of two federal health and tobacco acts and the 1998 multistate settlement with national tobacco companies. Kansas expects to receive about $53 million from the settlement in the current fiscal year, with much of that money spent on children's programs.
Kansas also stands to lose $5 million in federal substance abuse prevention grants, said Mike Deines, a spokesman for the Department of Social and
Rehabilitation Services. Those funds are distributed to prevention programs statewide.
However, Deines said, the federal government could consider the state's efforts to reduce underage smoking when considering the penalty.
"We're waiting to hear what's to happen," he said. "They look at a lot of factors. It's not a sure thing that we're going to lose that $5 million."
One factor in the decreased level of compliance is that ABC has been conducting more undercover operations to monitor sales, Groneman said.
In response to the latest report, the agency is changing its fine structure.
Any retail business violating the law will be fined the maximum $1,000 per incident, and the employee making the sale will be charged with a misdemeanor carrying maximums of a $1,000 fine and one year in jail. Groneman also said local law enforcement agencies should actively pursue minors breaking the law.
Businesses licensed to sell tobacco were notified in writing about the changes in November.
House Speaker Doug Mays,
R-Topeka, said he was aware
that ABC was understaffed, but the law must be upheld, "notwithstanding if we get our tobacco money or not."
According to the most recent figures, cigarette smoking has dropped 19 percent among high school students. Julia Francisco, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said the reduction was tied to prevention programs and community attitudes about smoking.
In Salina, she said, a program funded by $500,000 in federal money had raised compliance to more than 90 percent — in part by seeking greater parental involvement in curbing underage smoking.
State health officials also thought the increase in tobacco taxes in 2003 helped reduce underage smoking.
Kansas raised the tax on a package of cigarettes by 55 cents, to 79 cents a pack, to help boost state revenues. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius recently unveiled a $50 million health care initiative that would be funded by a 50-cent increase in cigarette taxes and raising the excise tax on tobacco products to 15 percent from the current 10 percent.

Former inmate files suit against prosecutors
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Former death row inmate Joseph Amrine filed a wrongful conviction suit yesterday against prosecutors and law enforcement employees, accusing them of framing him for the murder of a fellow prison inmate.
Amrine, 48, of Kansas City, is seeking compensation that is "just and fair" for the 17 years he spent on death row before he was freed last year. When Amrine was sentenced to death
in 1986, he had between 18 months and seven years left to serve on a 15-year sentence for robbery, burglary and forgery.
"Amrine spent some of the best years of his life, from age 20 through 47, in prison," the suit filed in federal court said. "He missed out on the growth from toddler to manhood of his son, Dwayne, and the birth of four grandchildren."
The suit names as defendants employees or former employees of the Cole County prosecutor's office, the Missouri State Penitentiary, in Jefferson City and the Cole County Sheriff's Department.
Amrine was set free in July 2003 after the Cole County prosecutor said there was not, enough evidence to retry him for the stabbing death of a fellow inmate, Gary Barber.
Key testimony against Amrine came from three former inmates who later recanted.
The suit alleges the men "were promised significant benefits if they testified against Amrine; were threatened with either legal action or being placed in a dangerous situation if they did not testify against Amrine; and were coached as to the substance of their testimony."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
'Don'task, don'ttell'policy has no place at University
The United States Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled this week that all educational institutions have the right to ban U.S. military recruiters from their campuses because of the military's policy of discriminating against homosexuals. The "Don't ask, don't tell" policy allows homosexuals to serve in the military only if their sexual orientation is never revealed.
Given this new freedom, the University of Kansas would serve its students well by utilizing this law and banning all forms of military recruitment and Army Reserve Training Corps (ROTC) programs and activities on campus. The basic ROTC courses at KU offer one-credit hour per semester, whereas the advanced course offers students three-credit hours. But this advantage is not available if you are openly homosexual, and therefore this is a discriminatory elective.
After all, KU has a large number of students who are affected directly by a prejudicial stance such as one that prohibits valued and contributing members of the military from expressing themselves according to their own identity. Surely, if KU offered an elective program that was closed to any other minority, the outcry against that policy would be great. I can only imagine the righteous anger that I would feel if an elective that I wanted to enroll in came with the disclaimer "Course not open to Jews".
The military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy is nothing more than a veneer meant to disguise intolerance, and this homophobic rhetoric is carried into the ROTC. If the military cannot cease such divisive fraternization and uphold the principles of the Constitution — "all men are created equal," as well as stand by KU's nondiscrimination policy, then military organizations have no place on campus.

'Teri' bracelets worthwhile
The bracelet-as-a-fundraising-tool trend has its share of fans and critics. But the idea, first popularized this summer by Lance Armstrong's yellow "Livestrong" benefiting cancer research bracelets has certainly caught on.
Recently, our own athletic department has used the trend to market its blue "Rock Chalk" fan bracelets, with only a questionable amount of the profits going to charity. This use of a primarily charity-related fundraiser has irked some students. But don't let this turn you off to another bracelet in which you should invest: the purple "Teri Tough" bracelet.
COMMENTARY
"Teri Tough" bracelets are being sold to benefit the Teri Zenner Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship was established after the tragic Aug. 17 death of Zenner, a master's student in social welfare at the University. Zenner was killed while working as a case worker for Johnson County Mental Health Center. Her 17-year-old client is charged with the murder.
COMMENTARY
STEPHANIE LOVETT
opinion@kansan.com
"Teri Tough" bracelets are a noble cause worth any student's buck. They only cost $1 and can be ordered from www.terizenner.com. The site also offers $2 purple ribbon magnet, with proceeds also going to the scholarship fund. You can also mail your order request to P.O. Box 15762, Lenexa, Kan., 66285. The scholarship fund also accepts general donations.
to change this situation so that her death may not be in vain.
The scholarship will benefit a master's student in social welfare. The "Teri Tough" slogan comes from the phrase that Zenner's husband Matt and step-daughter Alayna coined just after her death to deal with their grief.
The University's School of Social Welfare is relatively small, with only 550 students, so many students did not know Zenner. Still, her death serves as a grim reminder of the violence in society that must be addressed.
And lack of protections in place for social workers is an unfortunate reality that Zenner's death highlighted. Thankfully, her family is working
Any time a student dies, the University community is reminded of the fragility of life. But in the case of Teri Zenner, we have the opportunity to show our shared grief directly.
By donating to the Teri Zenner Memorial Scholarship and wearing a "Teri Tough" bracelet, we can show our sympathy for Zenner's family and friends and our unity against violence.

Make next election good T.V.
According to www.census.gov, 43 percent of Americans did not vote in the 2000 election. Sixty-eight percent of 18 to 24 year olds did not vote in that election. That's pathetic. About 60 percent of Americans voted in this past election. That's a vast improvement, but millions of Americans still stayed at home and watched reruns of Friends instead of venturing to the polls.
The average American is disgusted by politicians and how they run their campaigns. Flip-flopping. Lies. Arrogance. Attack ads. Halliburton. Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Vietnam. Politicians are respected as much as used-car salesmen. Campaigns turn off voters like Rosanne in lingerie turns off horny teenagers.
So why don't Americans care about votin? It's simple.
Voters are made potential voters and then nonexistent voters because they feel removed from the process. It's not about issues, it's about how campaigns can manipulate issues. And America is becoming weary of the whole process.
So, what is the solution? How can candidates connect to voters once again?
You guessed it. Coming to the Fox network next campaign season, presidential reality TV. It just makes sense, doesn't it? Americans don't want to watch presidential debates that are
Voters are made potential voters and then nonexistent voters because they feel removed from the process.
Anyway, this could be huge. And more importantly, it might beat C.S.I. in ratings. You know Thomas Jefferson and the Founding Fathers envisioned it all like this.
scripted like a TV sitcom. They would rather watch the candidates compete in a beauty pageant.
If campaigns target the middle-class American, what's better than watching politicians interact day and night with the middle-class American? No matter what candidates are running, this formula works. And this would have worked beautifully in this past election.
Think about it: Bush and Kerry — and maybe Ralph Nader if he combs his hair — move into a house in the Bronx with a few former inmates and — Yeehaw! — the fun begins. The American people have a right to know what would happen if Bush and Kerry had to share a bathroom.
The candidates will be tested for strength, honor and courage, of course.
Couldn't you have seen Joe Rogan from NBC's Fear Factor, urging the candidates to eat a plate of chicken gizzards? "Get those down, Mr. President. Do it for America. This will prove to America how tough you are on the war against terror. This will make up for those nonexistent WMDs."
and we'll finally be able to answer all the important questions. Who can eat more cow intestines? Who would win in a mud-wrestling competition? Who do they think is hotter, Christina Aguilera or Jessica Simpson? Who sings "My Heart Will Go On" better?
Picture Kerry wearing his Armani suit, eating canned ham and reading Aristotle's Politics, while Bush is lying on the couch watching Sponge Bob and snickering like a 10-year-old girl.
Then, one of their roommates, Tito, who just served 18 years for murder, slaps Bush because the president ate his string cheese.
That's just good TV.
And as much of a joke as this is, America would watch it. After months of episodes, viewers could call in and cast their vote. If the election is too close to call, there might even be a dance-off that decides the victor. America would love it.

FLU: Clinic provides mass vaccination practice
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The clinic is open to the entire Lawrence community who fit within the high priority group.
Vaccines will be $17 for adults and $10 for children, though no person will be turned away because they can't pay, Strother said. The clinic will accept Medicare and Medicaid.
"We believe we are fortunate that both Watkins and the health department can work together to address a need in the community," said Kay Kent, director of the health department, in a University Relations news release.
The clinic is also a way for the community to practice a mass vaccination. In the case of a small pox or an anthrax outbreak, clinics would be similar to the flu clinic.
"We believe we are
fortunate that both Watkins and the health department can work together to address a need in the community."
Kay Kent
Director of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department
Free State High School and the Douglas County Fairgrounds, at 19th and Harper Streets, are among locations designated for such mass vaccinations.
Watkins and the health department are also asking for
volunteers.
But Strother said she didn't want to bother students right before finals week.
Watkins has not diagnosed any patients with flu so far this fall, she said.
Students' immune systems may be weakened because of long nights of studying and stress.
In the past, the health center usually diagnosed the first cases of the flu during finals week or the weeks following winter break, Strother said.
She said students should use common sense to keep themselves healthy.
Students should be courteous and cough into tissues or handkerchiefs to avoid spreading germs and stay home when they are ill, Strother said.

DANCE: Goal to garner interest in organization

The youth have a lot to deal with just trying to get through school, he said.
"I have been playing music all of my life," he said.
Ruiz started playing music with his father's help, when he learned to play the trumpet at age 7.
His interest in music grew and he joined a Latin band when he was older.
The band would spin music during performance breaks until it evolved to them DJing all the time, Ruiz said. Now Ruiz performs in Kansas City area, Lawrence and Topeka regularly.
Ruiz and DJ Jalapeno performed at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., last month.
Charges for DJ Jalapeño start at $500 a night.
"He plays everywhere and he is coming down as a favor for me," he said.
It is not just about who the DJs are, the dance is also a good
chance to be exposed to a different culture, Ruiz said.
Getting HALO's name out is this year's goal for the group. Last year the group focused on creating a family within the members.
"I really like the family we've formed within HALO," Pantoja said. "It is a place where I can go and find people like me that are very different as well."
Out of all the everyday faces she has to put on, between school and work, HALO is her favorite.
It is where she feels most comfortable, she said.
As president, it is her goal to now promote the group this year. In the spring HALO sponsored a dance that did not turn out to be successful, she said, things would change this year.
Juan Izaguirre, HALO adviser, said that the group had gained in participation and motivation this year.

the Office of Multicultural Affairs said.
This dance has the potential to be an annual event, Izaguirre said.
The main potential he sees though is the great things that HALO can do on campus. Last year we formed a family, now we need to promote programs on campus relying on the group as a family, he said.

and 60 instrumentalists will perform at the concert. The KU Men's Glee Club and KU Chamber Choir will sing as preperformances.

"From the minute they get out of their car, there will be music," Johnson said.
After the concert last year, Johnson said, people stopped him on the street and told him how much fun they had. He said the program had changed since he came to the University.
CONDUCTING: Family important as music
"It isn't all sacred music," Johnson said. "It's not as academic as it used to be."
Johnson realized his dream of teaching at the University of Kansas three years ago, a dream he had since 1990. A fellow professor at Texas State University received her undergraduate degree at the University of Kansas. Johnson said she would cry whenever she told him about the experience she had with Vespers. He described winning the position of director of choral activities as a dream come true.
His wife, Ann Johnson, said she was happy he received the opportunity. She said his close relationships with his students have made him a better father.
Students can spot Johnson pacing the hallways of Murphy Hall with glasses and a goatie, usually singing to himself. He will always stop to have a conversation with a student unless he's in one of his crabby moods before a concert. He considers himself a control freak.
"He gets to connect with students on a level that most professors don't," she said. "Music creates a deep emotional and personal bond."
She found out when they met he was meant to be a teacher.
He said he enjoyed performing at an early age but didn't "get the bug" for music until seventh grade when he performed the lead in Oliver.
Johnson hid his desire to pursue music from his parents because they worried about whether a career in music would
THE JOY OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON'
The department of music and dance will present its 80th Holiday Vespers Concert at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. on Sunday. The theme will be *The Joy of the Holiday Season*. The performance includes more than 200 KU student vocalists and 60 KU student instrumentalists. Tickets are $12.50 for adults and $10 for students and seniors, and are available at all KU Box Offices, including the Lied Center Ticket Office, 864-2787; the Murphy Hall Box Office, 864-3982 and the SUA Box Office on the fourth floor in the Kansas Union, 864-SHOW.

produce a decent income.
"I bought a piano and hid it from my father in a storage space," Johnson said. "My parents just didn't understand."
Johnson rented a storage space as a place to practice for his college auditions. Three schools accepted him before his parents found out. He chose to pursue his bachelor's degree in music education from Westminster College in New Wilmington, Pa., where he met his wife.
Johnson considers his family equally important as his career, so the move from Texas was especially hard. His wife found a good job within weeks and his son, Lane, was working toward his vocal performance degree at Louisiana State University, but his daughter, Laura, dreaded the move.
Ann Johnson, who is 12 days younger, played the piano. They fell in love while she accompanied his vocal solos and married at age 20 just before graduation.
"Like most teenage kids, she didn't talk to me for almost a month." Johnson said. "She cried the entire 14-hour trip."
Although it was tough at first, his daughter now has lots of friends and is making good grades again, he said. She is a junior at Free State High School. Johnson says balancing his career and family can be hard, but he wanted to do what was best for both.
Johnson credits his success at the University to his international performing experience. He has performed or directed choirs all over Europe. His most memorable experience took place in Warsaw, Poland, at the Fryderik Chopin Academy of Music.
The Academy invited him to be a guest conductor at its Christmas concert one year. He said he felt like the most acclaimed pianists and musicians in the world were performing for him. The prime minister and other Polish national figures attended. He enjoyed meeting musicians from around the world at the Academy. He said a snack bar called The Canteen served lots of vodka, which encouraged students to tell stories about their backgrounds and what their homes were like. He remembers one Russian student telling him how he escaped his home to attend the Academy. Johnson regards traveling as one of his favorite hobbies.
Johnson said in a successful performance his students learned more about themselves as well as the music. He said he planned concerts to have a thread of meaning throughout and the audience should have an "a-ha" moment near the end. He considers an unsuccessful performance to be academic and missing emotion.
"I work very hard to bring people to this point," Johnson said, explaining the tears and emotion throughout the audience at last year's concert. "Holiday Vespers is one of their greatest memories of the season."
The upcoming winter break will leave Johnson with a feeling of depression. Being a choral director differs from playing an instrument like the piano, he said.
"When the students are gone, so is my instrument," Johnson said. "I can't make music without them."

CHANCELLOR: Hemenway identifies with college students

budget cut of about $19 million. Closing the museum was not something anyone took any pleasure in doing. Hemenway said.
The museum cost $200,000 a year to sustain and had very low attendance.
All of the anthropology collections were saved and are still available for students to view, he said.
Hemenway was also asked what was the one thing he was most proud of.
He said he couldn't pick just one "thing," so he talked about several. One of those was the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center. The center is a strong point of the University, he said. In 1997, the student retention rate for freshmen and sophomores was 74 percent, which meant 26 percent of students left the University between their first and second years. The retention rate for 2004 was 82 percent.
When asked what his college experience was like, Hemenway said for the first two years he
worked 40 hours a week while he was a full-time student. For the last two years, he worked 30 hours a week. Hemenway said he had a great understanding of students who have to support themselves while going to school.
This year, athletic officials from the University and the University of Missouri decided to change the name of the game between Kansas and Missouri from "Border War" to "Border Showdown" because of controversy.
"Border War or Border
Hemenway said a real war was going on in Iraq, but then again, "Those Missourians came and burned down Lawrence," he said. "I don't know what the answer is."
Showdown?" a student asked.
Hemenway ended the night visiting with a couple of students, including Flay, who wanted to follow up on some of the questions asked.
"It's a way to communicate with students," Hemenway said of the session.

DNC wins fiscal battle, loses war
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Capping a stunning year of record fundraising by both sides, the Democratic National Committee said Thursday it outraised President Bush's GOP this election cycle. Its Republican rival wasn't disputing that, but noted the money didn't buy victory.
"We're going to need every bit of support we can get to do what we need to do. We've got a long battle ahead, but compared with where we were four years ago or eight years ago we're in great shape," McAulife said in a phone interview.
Now, it can spend four years building the groundwork to try to reclaim the White House in 2008, he said.
The DNC said it raised at least $397 million from January 2003 through Nov. 22, the period covered in its new campaign finance report; the RNC said it took in $385 million and wasn't questioning the Democratic committee's financial edge.
Figures the DNC planned to file with the Federal Election Commission showed the DNC took in at least $12 million more than the Republican National Committee since Jan. 1, 2003.
DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe said he considered the fund raising — combined with a lack of debt — all the more remarkable because the party finished the 2000 presidential race with $18 million in bills to pay.
"I think that you had an energized and engaged electorate this election cycle on both sides of the aisle and that's reflected in the fund-raising totals that you're seeing," said RNC spokesman Brian Jones.
Still, added Jones. "The bottom line at the end of the day is we won, we did what we needed to do." Besides keeping the White House, the GOP strengthened its House and Senate majorities in the Nov. 2 election.
The Democratic total is not worthy in part because the DNC had been operating at a multi-million-dollar disadvantage. After a financial surge during President Clinton's years in the White House, it found itself with no sitting president or congressional majority leaders to woo donors.
Strategists in both parties had predicted a campaign finance law imposing new contribution limits after the 2002 elections would hit the Democratic Party harder than the GOP. The Democrats historically were more reliant on the unlimited checks from unions and others that the new law banned, while the GOP was much better at collecting lots of small donations.
However, it was the RNC along with the California Democratic and Republican parties, not the DNC, that sued unsuccessfully to try to overturn the new restrictions.
The Democratic National Committee redoubled its efforts to collect donations up to the new $25,000-per-year limit and in more modest amounts, using Internet "Weba-thons" like those pioneered by presidential hopeful Howard Dean in the primaries to raise millions in a matter of days or even hours.
In the end, the DNC and the RNC raised more heading into the election than they had when they could collect corporate, union and unlimited donations. It's too soon to say which side had more cash on hand overall; finance reports by outside groups are still coming in.

Blues ice 'Hawks with 35-5 blitz
BY PAUL BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
With a 39-26 second-half deficit at the 15:35 mark, Washburn Lady Blues junior guard Jennifer Harris simply took over the game.
Harris scored 12 straight Washburn points on her way to 21 total points and a torrid second half of shooting. In the first half. Harris played only six minutes before gathering her third personal foul, but broke out in the second half to lead Washburn (4-0) to a 62-59 victory against Kansas (3-2), which snapped the Jawhaws' three game winning streak.
Harris' performance led Washburn to its first victory against Kansas. Kansas won the first nine games in the series.
In Harris' tremendous second half, the 5-foot-10 guard took advantage of a Kansas defense that was crippled by foul trouble and was forced to play with less of a physical approach.
"Everything she threw up went in." Kansas senior guard Aquanita Burras said. "The coaches were telling me to get up on her, but I still had to respect her ability to drive."
Foul trouble left the Jayhawks, who led 35-19 at the break, without forwards Crystal Kemp and Taylor McIntosh for much of the second half.
www.kansan.com
Junior guard Erica Hallman, the leading scorer for Kansas with 18 points, also encountered foul trouble after picking up her fourth personal foul with 12:27 remaining. Hallman shortly left the game and left Kansas with only one scoring threat, Burras, on the floor.
Going in to the half, the Jayhawks held a 16-point advantage after shooting 50 percent from the field and making six of 10 three-point attempts. Washburn shot an icy five for 19 and hit only one of eight from behind the arc.
"As a team, we just have to learn to adjust," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "If we are getting called for fouls, we have to adjust and stop doing what it is that we keep getting called for."
Foul trouble was not the only cause for concern as Kansas went cold after an impressive first-half shooting show.
In the second half, the tables turned.
In the second man, the tabs turned Kansas built its lead to 39-21 with a flashy reverse-and-spin move by Hallman in the paint, but the jawhawk
lead quickly disintegrated.
The Jayhawk offense struggled to find a scorer and went cold from long range. Kansas shot only nine of 25 from the field after halftime and missed all eight of its three-point attempts.
"We didn't score on our end and shot poorly in the second half," Herickson said. "We needed to be aggressive going to the rim."
As Harris led the charge for the Lady Blues, Washburn embarked on a 33-5 run that Harris capped with a threepoint shot to make the Washburn lead 10 at 54-44.
Burras led a late effort by Kansas and closed out a 13-5 run by drawing the defense away from the basket on a drive and sneaking a pass over two defenders to dish the ball to Boyd. Boyd then made a bucket and a free throw to cut the Washburn lead to two, 59-57. Burras finished with 16 points and freshman forward Jamie Boyd finished with three.
Junior guard Kaylee Brown missed a long-range shot at the buzzer which would have tied the game.

Team set to start tournament play

KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
For the second time in program history, the Kansas volleyball team is going to the NCAA tournament.
The Broncos dropped out of the USA Today/CSTV Top 25 poll this week after losing their last two matches of the regular season, but Kansas coach Ray Bechard said Santa Clara was playing like a top-20 team.
Last year was the first appearance for the team. Junior middle blocker Josi Lima said she hoped the outcome for tonight's game would be the same as last year's opening-round victory.
On Dec. 4, 2003, the team defeated Long Beach State, which will make its 18th straight tournament appearance this season.
Santa Clara is another tournament-savvy team and will make its seventh straight tournament appearance.
"There's nothing like winning in the tournament," she said. "If we serve, pass and block, we will win."
But he said his team was playing just as well.
"We're playing our best volleyball," he said. "But it's one and done, so we can't have an off night."
"Their middles are very active and have good left-side players," he said. "You don't know where the setter's going to pass."
He said he had not seen Santa Clara play until a tape session Monday night.
Sophomore outside hitter Jana
The Broncos rank 10th in the NCAA in blocking. Middle blocker Annalisa Muratore, a freshman who ranked third in the nation in blocking and 25th in hitting percentage, leads the team.
Bechard said the return of Correa, who missed last year's tournament and the beginning of this season with a knee injury, was key to overcoming the Broncos' power.
Correa said Bechard also warned her about the right-side hitters. She said Santa Clara's front line would be a challenge for the team.
Bechard said he told his team that the Santa Clara combined the power of Texas A&M with the offensive balance of Missouri.
Correa said she was even more excited than her teammates when the tournament selections were announced Sunday.
She will help replace last year's tournament star, outside hitter Sarah Rome, who had 17 kills in the Jayhawks' sweep of Long Beach State last year.
"And they're both top teams, so we better be ready." he said.
She danced around the room, eventually involving several teammates in the celebration.
"Last year, I was happy for my teammates, but this year is really special. I actually get to play." she said.
The Jayhawks' first round match starts at 7 tonight in Bank of America Arena in Seattle.

ANSAN SPORTSWITHER
The honors keep coming for Charles Gordon.
One day after Big 12 Conference coaches named Gordon to their defensive first team, writers who cover the Big 12 named the sophomore cornerback to The Associated Press' All-Big 12 Team yesterday.
Joining Gordon on the AP first team was junior linebacker Nick Reid, who was a second team All-Big 12 selection by the coaches.

Self wary of Tiger tricks
Kansas faces Pacific team that has offensive variety
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
It hasn't been that long since the Kansas Jayhawks put a good whooping on the Pacific Tigers.
But senior guard Aaron Miles doesn't remember much about Pacific.
"I know we played them in the tournament last year," Miles said.
Maybe the game film the Jayhawk watched yesterday will trigger Miles' memory. If so, he may find that this Pacific team is not all that different from the team that Kansas beat, 78-63, in the second round of the 2004 NCAA Tournament.
The Tigers graduated only one major contributor, guard Miah Davis, from last year's 25-8 team. Although Davis led the team with 14.7 points per game, Pacific has its core group of players back for this season.
The Tigers have only played two games on the season, but in each of their
outings, they have gotten good performances from that group. Guard Marko Mihailovic, a 6-foot-5 junior transfer from Santa Monica Junior College, put up 18 points in Pacific's season-opening victory over San Jose State. Sophomore forward Christian Maraker and senior guard David Doubley each scored 20 points in the Tigers' second victory over Santa Clara — the team that beat North Carolina in its season opener.
Coach Bob Thomason said all of those guys needed to step up for the Tigers to have a chance.
"There is no way that we can be in the game without those three guys having big games." he said.
SEE TRICKS ON PAGE 3B
Senior forward Guillaume Yango, who led Pacific in scoring in the NCAA Tournament game against Kansas, scored 13 points in each of the Tigers' games. But Thomason said Yango was only playing at 60 percent of what he was capable of.

Football recruits visit campus thisweekend,11 expected
With the close of the last season, Kansas' football coaches have to begin to look to the next.
As its schedule takes shape, the team is looking to fill the gaps left by graduation this year as well as those who will graduate during the next couple of seasons.
This weekend, Kansas is expected to host at least 11 recruits on official visits. The recruits are expected to attend the Kansas-Pacific basketball game Saturday afternoon, as well as
spend time meeting current football players and coaches.
Players lost to graduation include senior offensive lineman Joe Vaughn, anchor of the offensive line. Kansas is expected to entertain James Stigall, an offensive lineman from Blue Spring, Mo., this weekend. He's listed as a three-star recruit, out of five stars, by rivals.com.
Also graduating is senior wide receiver Brandon Rideau. James McDonald, a two-star wide receiver from Washington, D.C., is expected to visit this weekend as well.
Also taking official visits are Russell Borsen, Bobby Johnson and Jacob Lacey, all two-star recruits.
Three-star recruits in town will be Kerry Meier, Raimond Pendleton, Justin Thornton, Chad Washington and Wayne Wilder.
Meier is the brother of Kansas State quarterback Dylan Meier. In addition to his older brother, his father also played at K-State. Kansas is listed as one of his top two choices.
The lone four-star recruit is Steve Octavien, a junior college transfer from Palatine, Ill.
All of these visits are as reported by rivals.com as NCAA regulations prohibit coaches and university officials from making any comments on perspective recruits.

Bullies tormented Chiefs player
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two older boys who had bullied him for years were hunting Tony Gonzalez.
He was years away from becoming an All-Pro tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. On this day, he was just a frightened kid, running behind a wall and hiding.
"I knew what I was doing was wrong, but I was so scared," he recalled. "My heart was just pounding."
The person who finally found him was someone who loved him.
"I saw the look in my mother's eyes," Gonzalez said. "I knew that she knew what was going on."
His mother and older brother had set out to find him after he'd disappeared during junior high school graduation ceremonies, an event his longtime tormentors had made a special point to attend.
"Ive read that your life can be boiled down to a couple of key instances, a couple of key moments," Gonzalez said. "That was a key moment for me. My whole family came walking around that corner. It was a life change, a transformation in a moment of crisis."
"I was scared, but I was also angry. I thought, 'OK, I'm not taking crap from anybody. I'm never going to back down again.' And I haven't."
Now Gonzalez is sharing his experiences in a book for children entitled "Catch and Connect," which also details other parts of a life that's taken him from a tough neighborhood in Huntington Beach, Calif., to stardom in the NFL.
"They tell me about their experiences. I tell them to let somebody know if they're being bullied," he said. "But I know that's not easy. You don't want to look like a sissy. I remember how ashamed I felt."
Through the book and personal appearances, he hopes to help youngsters cope with bullies in ways that he never could.
"I tell them, 'Talk it out first. You'd be amazed at what you can get by being nice to somebody."
Bullying is a serious social problem nationwide, and not necessarily confined to boys. Research has shown that self-esteem issues often follow bullied kids into adulthood — and they also appear more likely to be dominant and abusive grown-ups.
"In every one of these horrible shooting incidents at schools such as Columbine, those were kids who were often targeted by bullies," said Vicky Ward, manager of prevention services at Tri-County Mental Health Services in Kansas City, Mo.
"What Tony is doing is wonderful," Ward said. "A little boy can look at that big football player and say, 'Tony could have clobbered those guys, but he didn't.' Just knowing there's somebody like Tony Gonzalez who was bullied but has now achieved all that Tony has achieved will be very encouraging for kids."
After that life-changing incident when his mother discovered him cowering behind a wall, Gonzalez was assigned to a different school from the ones his bullies attended.
Three years later, he'd grown into one of the best high school athletes in California, standing almost 6 1/2 feet tall and weighing almost 250 pounds.
One afternoon he stopped at a service station near his home.
Guess who else was there — wishing he were somewhere else?
"I could see the fear in his eyes," Gonzalez said. "His eyes were so big. He was a just a skinny little punk now. I towered over him. I said, 'Man, I'm not going to do anything to you.'"
In another chance encounter, the second bully seemed too scared even to look his former victim in the face. He, too, was contemptuously laughed off.
"I really believe everything happens for a reason," Gonzalez said. "What happened to me that day behind that wall made me what I am today."
ISRAEL IS THE CANARY IN THE MINE The war between Arabs and Jews is not the cause of the war on terror, as apologists for Muslim radicals claim; it is the war on terror.
Twenty-five years ago, there were two non-Islamic democracies in the Middle East: Israel and Lebanon. This was too much for Islamic radicals, Syrian irredentists and Palestinians who joined forces to destroy Lebanon and make it a base for terror.
The goal of the post-Oslo Intifada is not to establish a Palestinian state alongside a Jewish state. Its goal is an Islamic umma extending "from the Jordan to the sea." That is why Oslo was rejected by Arafat even though Barak and Clinton offered him an independent state on virtually all of the land Palestinians claimed in the West Bank of the Jordan and Gaza. That is why the very birth of Israel is referred to by all the present Palestinian leadership as the "Naqba" - the "catastrophe." To Islamic radicals at war with the West, the very creation of Israel is a catastrophe.
American apologists for Arab aggression are also apologists for Islamic aggression. In their eyes, Arab terror in the Middle East has a root cause in the policies of Israel, whom terrorists refer to as the "little Satan." For apologists of the Islamic terror of 9/11 and the Zarqawi terror in Iraq jihad is not a self-generating creed but has a "root
Peace in the Middle East and peace in the war with al-Qaeda and Zarqawi will come only when the terrorists surrender or are defeated, and when Arab governments cease their incitement of hatred against Israel and the United States.

Jayhawks to face No.18 Gophers, All-American center after loss

KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
The Kansas women's basketball team has lost 29 straight games to ranked opponents. It will have an opportunity to end the streak when Kansas faces the No.18 Minnesota at 2 p.m. Sunday in the first road game of the season.
"They've got great balance," Kansas coach Bonnie Hendrickson said. "They shoot the three very well and have a great inside game. We've got our hands full."
Last season, the Gophers had one of the best seasons in the history of the program. Before losing in the Final Four to the eventual National Champion, Connecticut, Minnesota upset Duke in the regional finals. After losing three-time All-American Lindsay Whalen, now a star point guard for the WNBA's Connecticut Sun, the Gophers must find a way to replace their all-time leading scorer.
They may have found Whalen's replacement in senior Janel McCarville. The 6-foot-2 center is one of the best players in the NCAA. Coaches voted her Big 10 Conference Preseason Player of the Year. She was a first-team All-American last season and the leading candidate for National Player of the Year this year.
Besides being one of the most dominating inside players in the country, McCarville has the
passing skills of a perimeter plaver.
Henrickson said the Jayhawks would have their hands full in trying to stop the All-American.
"She's a big girl," Henrickson said. "She is ridiculously athletic for as big as she is. She's going to give us a matchup problem."
Injuries have taken a toll on the Gophers this season. McCarville missed more than a month earlier in the season after breaking her left hand. Other Gophers have also had injuries, coach Pam Borton said.
"We've had a lot of injuries so far season, and haven't really had our top 8 or 9 players on the court together," Borton said. "We don't have the continuity that we need to have, but it's only Dec. 1."
looks like a mismatch, but the Jayhawks say a strong effort could lead to a victory.
"We've got nothing to lose," junior guard Erica Hallman said. "We're going to go out and play hard, and hopefully be able to come away with the upset."
The Gophers are not taking the Jayhawks lightly. Borton has great respect for Henrickson and knows that she will have her team ready for the challenge. Henrickson was the perfect replacement for Marian Washington, Borton said.
"I have so much respect for Bonnie," Borton said. "Her kids are going to work hard, and I'm sure she's put them in a system that is going to work well for them."
"It feels good to be honored on defense because I've worked so hard at that position," Gordon said.
Gordon also played on offense occasionally in situations when the Jayhawks needed a big play. Coach Mark Mangino said repeatedly that he used Gordon with no particular pattern.
AP TEAM: Eight Jayhawks receive AP honors
"I shoot from the hip." Mangino said after the Toledo game on Sept. 11 and several other games.
On offense, Gordon threw a pass and had 15 catches for 150 yards. He also caught two touchdowns, fifth best on the team. He returned punts as well.
Reid finished as the team leader in tackles with 109, second in the Big 12. He also led the team with tackles for a loss with 15.
While Gordon and Reid are only the second and third Jayhawks to ever make the AP first team for the Big 12, Gordon said he was not as excited for this honor as he was for Wednesday's coaches' honor.
"There are some big-time coaches in the Big 12," Gordon said. "Some of them were big-time players, too."
Gordon intends to celebrate his honor with his family when he goes home to Carson, Calif., during winter break.
In addition to Gordon and Reid, six other Jayhawks received honors. Senior center Joe Vaughn and senior defensive lineman David McMillan were both named to the AP second
team. Gordon was an honorable mention as an all-purpose back as well, giving the Jayhawks nine total AP recognitions with eight players recognized.
This is the first year that all Big 12 teams had at least one player on the AP first team, but the conference's South division had most of the first-team selections. The South had 19 selections to the North's eight.
Kansas and Missouri had two first-team selections. Iowa State, Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas State had one each.
Oklahoma had the most selections of any Big 12 school with nine. According to AP, this is only the second time a school in the conference has had that many. K-State had nine in 1998.

Pacific played its last game on Nov. 23, so it would have had 11 days to prepare for Kansas. Thomason said the team took three days off for Thanksgiving, and spent the rest of the time working on its offense and getting ready for the Jayhawks.
Coach Bill Self said he expected Saturday's match-up to be a tough game.
"They will be the best test to date." Self said.
"They stuck around last year," Langford said. "I am sure with the nucleus they have and the coach that they have and being in the NCAA Tournament, they will be a good team."
Self said the tricky thing about the Tigers was that they run a variety of offenses. In the games that he has scouted, Self said that

"You can't guard all of that." Self said. "You can just teach principles and try to guard it."
Thomason said one of his biggest concerns turnovers Pacific has turned the ball over 36 times through its first two games. On Nov. 25 against St. Joseph's, Kansas scored 21 points off turnovers.
But Self said that he wouldn't be surprised if Thomason threw the Jayhawks a couple of curveballs on the basketball court.
"Everyone you talk to says that he will have something up his sleeve for you," Self said.

STRIVING FOR MEDIOCRITY BY JEREMY MONKEN FOR THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
"HE JUST SITS THERE,
STARING AT ME. I
THINK HE'S PLOTTING
MY DEMISE! I TELLS
YA, HE'S EVIL!"
YOU'RE NUTS, HE
PROBABLY WANTS
TO BE YOUR
BUDDY...BUT I
FEEL HE'S
UP TO NO
GOOD.
OH MY
GOD
THE FAMILY MONSTER BY JOSH SHALLAK
Have you ever had a massage?
They locked me in a rat-infested room for hours. Then they must've drugged me, because I awoke, disoriented, three days later in a new town.
That wasn't a massage, Monster!
Really?
Then no, I haven't ever had a massage.
Then no, I haven't ever had a massage.
Today's Birthday (Dec. 3)
you have awesome powers this year. Use them to further your goals careerwise, and also to benefit the greatest number of people.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 10.
Play first, and you might as well eat your dessert first, too. Later on, life gets more complex and a whole lot busier.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Once you've made the big decision, there'll be more time to relax. Snuggling is recommended, by way of celebration.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Don'\t confine your studies to philosophy. Learn something you can put to use, in the privacy of your own home.
HOROSCOPES
Today is an 8.
Finish up the job that's been taking so much of your time. Plan to spend the next two days
learning and relaxing. But not necessarily in that order.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is an 8.
Make sure your loved ones know how much you care, Don't put that off. For the next few days, you'll be too busy raking in the money.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Go back through your old stack of stuff and get all the valuables out. You don't want to throw any items of significance away accidentally. That would be cold.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is an 8.
Your cheerful attitude helps others figure out what to do next. Help them sort through the options so the leader can decide, with a little guidance from you.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 5.
The most difficult part will be over soon, and you'll be able to relax. Gather with friends who
understand you well, without having to be told.
You'll be able to get a lot farther intellectually than physically. That's always the case, but it's also a first step in getting the rest of you there.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is an 8.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 5.
Don't talk about money or anything else that might be a sensitive subject. The odds for a misunderstanding are high. Why chance it? Listen instead.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18) Today is an 8.
Today is an 8.
You don't have to be the team leader to be in control. You're the brains behind the operation, but stay out of the spotlight.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 5.
A person who's very well organized is good to have on your team. It shouldn't be hard to find one now. It might be hard to avoid.

Salute the jean shorts — 'holla!'
At the beginning of the semester, I promised myself that I wouldn't write the typical "boo hoo, this is my last Kansan column" column.
To me, when people have done this in the past, most of who were my good friends, they were basically admitting two things.
1) They were implying that this was the end of their journalism careers and they would never write columns again.
2) They were also sounding a little pompous, because to write the "typical" goodbye column, you are assuming that you're more important on campus than you actually are — a public figure of sorts.
I eventually caved into the
peer pressure from my friends to write this column, but promised I'd do it the right way.
The Kansan opened up more doors for me than I could have ever imagined when I began as a general assignment reporter at the beginning of my sophomore year.
Because of the Kansan, I had unique opportunities to follow the men's basketball team around for a season and spread my opinions across campus every week.
Plus, as my friends can attest, my weekly column has made for some interesting nights out at parties and bars, and there's always someone who wants to talk

this newspaper helped me finally find a niche on campus.
My freshman year, I struggled to find my place at Kansas. Looking back on the past three years, it's hard to imagine how different my life would be without the Kansan.
Aside from not having unbelievable opportunities in journalism that I couldn't have had at any other school, such as being a regular fixture in the Free
For All, I would not have the greatest friends in the world.
I'm sick of talking about myself so I'm making this column brief. Anyone who reads my column probably figures I can blab about myself and pat my own back all day long, but that's the farthest thing from the truth.
Even though I often get negative feedback, I really do want to thank everyone who has read my columns and taken the time to send me e-mails over the years, because I really do appreciate them all.
Now I'm off to raise my jean shorts to the rafters in the Kansan newsroom. In the words of Keith Langford, "holla."

Knee injury to blame for Faulk's low yards
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Marshall Faulk's recent struggles are due to a bruised left knee that will keep him out of Rams practices this week. He'll also likely miss Sunday's game against the 49ers after being downgraded from probable to questionable yesterday.
A gimpy Faulk has 20 carries for only 13 yards the last two weeks.
"He's very aware of his body.
First-round pick Steven Jackson almost certainly will start in his place on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, and coach Mike Martz said yesterday that Jackson probably should have played more the last two games.
and he's aware of Steven's ability. He understands how important it is in order to make it through the season in one piece."
"He's going to carry the load this week," Martz said. "We've got to give Marshall a chance to recover."
Mike Martz
St. Louis Rams coach
Until now, the Rams have made no mention of Faulk's injury. Last year, Faulk had two operations on his right knee. The injury could date to the second week of the season against

the Falcons, when he took a blow to the knee.
"He'll be involved with the game plan and if he feels like he's ready to go on Sunday, great, great."
"He's very quiet about it and doesn't say anything about it, and doesn't want anybody to know about it," Martz said. "But nonetheless, we need to do the right thing by Marshall.

Jackson, the first running back selected in the draft, has 377 yards on 74 carries, a 5.1-yard average, and two touchdowns.
Martz said he had seen significant progress in Jackson in recent weeks. Unlike the slippery Faulk, the 240-pound Jackson is more of a power runner.
Faulk, 31, is in his 11th NFL season and hasn't had a 1,000-yard rushing season since 2001. Martz said he was aware of the

need to prepare for a transition.
"He's very aware of his body and he's aware of Steven's ability." Martz said. "He understands how important it is in order to make it through the season in one piece.
"This is a good setup for him and ultimately it can help him prolong his career."
Both players started Monday's game at Green Bay. Jackson was in the backfield and Faulk was in motion as a receiver.
"It all depends on Marshall's well-being," Martz said. "If he's completely healthy and ready to go we'll stay with our rotation. It's been pretty effective."
Faulk needs 132 yards receiving to pass Larry Centers (6,691) for most in NFL history by a running back. He needs 104 yards rushing to become the 12th player in league history with 12,000.
If Faulk doesn't play Sunday, an impressive streak will end. He's caught a pass in 157 consecutive games, first among active players and fifth best in NFL history.

Smoking vote unlikely
BY STEPHANE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STATE WRITER
City commissioners, owners hope to find a compromise
There won't be an election in Lawrence for the public to vote on the city-wide smoking ban.
At least not vet.
At least not yet. On Friday, Phil Bradley, executive director for the Kansas Licensed Beverage Association, and other Lawrence business owners gathered at City Hall to announce that they would
not force an election for March 1. To have a vote on the ban, which has been in effect since July 1, the Appeal to Reason and Tolerance Coalition needed to collect about 3,700 signatures on a petition. The group brought at least 5,000 signatures down to City Hall on Friday.
But the group decided to pursue a compromise instead of putting the issue to a vote. Members of the coalition and area business owners met twice last week to discuss the actions they could
take against the smoking ban, Bradley said. A big group of them met for about three-and-a-half hours on Wednesday, and decided there were two options: They could keep looking for further solutions and seek a compromise, or they could turn the petitions in for an election, he said.
The more they talked, they found they wanted all of Lawrence and its businesses to benefit from a compromise. Bradley said.
Jerry Neverve, owner of the Red Lyon
Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., participated in both of the meetings last week and was at city hall on Friday. Turning the petitions in would get the ball rolling on an election, Neverve said.
"But we feel like it's a good opportunity to work with the commission," he said of a compromise.
There still might be an opportunity for an election,but the specifics are up in the air,Bradley said.

NEIGHBORHOOD SHOWDOWN
ents, older residents conflict over differences in their lifestyles
www.kansan.com
By Austin Caster
Beer bottles, cups and fast food wrappers litter the yards of the Oread neighborhood every Sunday morning. Students have thrown their trash in neighbors' yards, often after leaving noisy house parties that lasted long past last call at the bars.
Families who live in this neighborhood are discouraged. They like living close to downtown and to the University of Kansas, but they are tired of too much garbage, noise and drug use. And when they complain to the city, they say the process is inefficient and inconvenient. Two weeks ago, members of the Oread Neighborhood Association met with Donald Olm, chief of police, to talk about their complaints, but they don't know what happened.
"We've been very quiet so far," said Candice Davis, vice president of the Oread Neighborhood Association. "It's really disgraceful."
A friend of one of the students filed for an excessive amount of garbage in their yards, "People just like them down when there's a dumpster 20 feet away." Davis said about garbage and fast food wrappers, "I just don't get that people don't care."
A KU graduate who has lived in Lawrence for more than 20 years, loves the historical neighborhood. She bought her rental house because she wanted to save it. Davis also owns a house in the Oread neighborhood that she rents to two women with professional jobs.
"It goes back to the very beginning of Lawrence," Davis said. "If you let that go you lose the history and integrity of the city."
Kath Youngweal, 15th and Tennessee streets, in the middle of what some call the student ghetti.
"It stays really clean during the week. You can't tell when it's the weekend around here," said Younis Okathe senior. "If I don't think anyone's really thinking about what they're doing."
Students can recover from the afternoon by sleeping until mid afternoon, but not everyone has that luxury.
"I usually wake up between 1 and 2 when the world starts," said Hann Kim, who also lives on Tennesse Street. "I don't mind having a grow up in Lawrence and moved to Tennessee since he became her busiest sister she got married. She lives there with his husband and he's my only son and love with the historical location, character of her house. The surroundings look so good when she was a little girl teacher. Noce Drew novels, she said..."

Ken Michelson/The Daily, University of Washington Junior setter Andi Royzum disputes a call during Kansas' match against Washington Saturday. The Jayhawks went on to lose to the Huskies in the five-game match.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said the defeat was difficult because the seniors played hard.
Seattle — The Kansas volleyball team advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament Saturday, where it hit, blocked and dug better than seventh-seeded Washington. But the Washington Huskies eliminated the Ivahawks in five games.
"Their last effort together is one they'll remember for a long time," he said.
BY BILL CROSS
bcross@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
Despite Kansas' statistical victory against Washington — 102 to 88 digs, 83 to 72 kills and 18 to 16.5 blocks — it was Washington that advanced to this Friday's Sweet Sixteen after winning, 34-32, 30-26, 25-30, 26-30, 15-12.
Senior libero Jill Dorsey set a Kansas career record for digs and junior outside hitter Paula Caten led the Jayhawks' offense as they rallied after losing the first two games in front of more than 2,000 Washington fans at Bank of America arena.
"All I'll remember is how we fought as a team tonight," she said after the match, pausing to hold back tears. "It was fun out there tonight. We put it all out there. It just didn't work."
Dorsey's career record for digs stands at 1,338, but she said she did not care about the record after the match.
Washington coach Jim McLaughlin said his team's passing and serving at the end of the games was the difference in the match.
Volleyball ends year with loss
"In games three and four, we were too far behind to make up the difference," he said. "But we were good at the end of both of those games. We were more aggressive," he said.
Lima started the match with a service ace to the back left corner that was too fast for Washington libero Candace Lee.
Lima continued to attack the back of the Huskies' defense as they crowded the net to stop Lima, a first-team all-Big 12 selection, and senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels. Lima took full advantage by slapping balls high and fast to the opponents' baseline.
"The middles have been our main offense all season," Bechard said.
Lima had four early kills as the Jayhawks built a 19-14 lead.

Revamping marriage, again
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAWRENCE — The renewed focus on marriage is persuading Kansas lawmakers to try again at passing a measure that would make certain holy unions tougher to sunder.
Republican Sen. Tim Huelskamp of Fowler, who this year led the unsuccessful effort for a Kansas Constitutional amendment banning
Such marriages would be optional, but require the couple to undergo premarital counseling, file an affidavit saying they intend to stay together for life and take reasonable steps to preserve the marriage, such as marriage counseling.
same-sex marriage, said he would like to introduce legislation providing for so-called "covenant marriage."
If things do go south, the legislation would limit the grounds for
Rvlan Howe/KANSAN
divorce to adultery,spousal or child abuse,abandonment for at least a year or a felony conviction. It would also require the couple to remain separated for two years before the divorce could be final.
Huelskamp and his House counterpart, Rep. Kathe Decker, (R-Clay Center), said covenant marriages would set a higher standard for couples that want to meet it.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — It was difficult to tell who was more excited: Michael J. Fox for playing alongside former hockey star Gilbert Perreault, or the other way around.
"Man, it's very cool. It's thrilling," Fox said Saturday after meeting Perrault, a member of the Buffalo Sabres' famed French Connection of the 1970s. "I mean, I'm skating with the French Connection today. Give me a break. It's just insane. That's nuts. I love it."
The feeling was more than mutual. "I had a big thrill playing with him." Perreault said. "He's got a lot of guts. And good luck to him. He's a wonderful man."
The meeting was part of former Sabres captain Pat LaFontaine's Champions in Courage charity game to raise money for Buffalo Women and Children's Hospital. The event raised more than $200,000 toward LaFontaine's goal of building a computer playroom for children at the hospital
It was the second time on the ice in
"I played in Ontario and then in Alberta and in Vancouver, and I never got good wherever I played," Fox joked.

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. — Comedian Joe Piscopo wants to change the popular stereotypes of Italian-Americans promoted on television and in movies.
Piscopo, who said he is embarrassed by some of the stereotypical Italian characters he has played, is at work on a movie that portrays an Italian-American family from northern New Jersey. He is determined to get the film made, though he said he has

Virginia woman may take large donation off the table
FREDERICKSBURG, Va. — Philanthropist Doris Buffett is threatening to rescind her $2 million pledge to build a new Boys & Girls Club center.
The sister of billionaire investor Warren Buffett wrote a recent letter to Mayor Thomas J. Tomzak and other officials, setting a Feb. 1 deadline for the city to take action.
Buffett, 76, has set a timetable that includes selecting a site, developing a building committee, and completing a preliminary building plan that includes an estimated project cost by Feb.1.
Buffett said she is "very discouraged and disheartened by the negative response" of the city's parks and recreation department and the "lukewarm support" of the City Council.
"While the response from the community has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic, essentially we are no closer to making this happen," she wrote.

Left could be right choice for Bush in Supreme Court
WASHINGTON — President Bush should consult with Democrats on Supreme Court nominees to ensure a smooth path to Senate confirmation, incoming Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said yesterday.
There is historical precedent for Bush to do so, Reid said.
He cited the autobiography of Sen. Orrin Hatch, in which the Utah Republican said former President Clinton came to him as Judiciary Committee chairman with suggestions of nominees that could win approval from the other side of the aisle.
"That's the same model that President Bush should follow, if in fact we have Supreme Court nominees come before us," Reid said on NBC's Meet the Press.

BushpicksKansas alum fornational arts council
President George W. Bush appointed a KU graduate to the National Council on the Arts.
1974 from the University of Kansas, will be among the newest members on the council after the U.S. Senate confirmed the appointment.
James K. Ballinger, who earned his undergraduate degree in history in 1971 and master's degree in art history in
An American art specialist, Ballinger has directed art exhibits, such as "Frank Lloyd Wright Drawing" and "Diego Rivera: The Cubist," and has served on panels for the National Endowment for the Arts.
About 700 children from seven local after-school groups attended the annual party organized by the Center for Community Outreach Children played games, sang holiday songs and made crafts with the help of about 200 KU student volunteers. Student volunteer groups included the Asian American Student Union, Lambda Sigma Sophomore Honor Society, the Black Student Union, CCO groups and Student Senate.
Molly Tucker, Prarie Village junior; Nick Yaghmour, Schaumburg, Ill.; junior and Elizabeth Willard, St. Louis junior, help Kennedy Barnes, 7, make an antier hat at a children's holiday party Friday in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Children, from toddlers to pre-teens, sat on Santa's lap, made candy cane reindeer and ate cornmeal and cookies at the party.
The National Council on the Arts' primary purpose is to advise the agency of the National Endowment for the Arts on policy and programs. Members are chosen by presidential appointments.Past members include Leonard Bernstein, Duke Ellington, Charlton Heston, Gregory Peck, Sidney Poitier and John Steinbeck.
Santa said his favorite moments at the party were watching the children's eyes when they saw him.
Shoes, comb discovered in Titanic wreckage
Prior to the party, about 150 KU students volunteered to wrap the gifts. Each child received a $10 gift donated by The Today Show. The Today Show donated 1,000 stuffed animals and educational gifts.
The annual party is a way to spread holiday cheer, especially for children who may not receive any other gifts, said Mark Lyda, co-director of the Center for Community Outreach.

MYSTIC, Conn. — Ocean explorer Robert Ballard was nervous this summer as he prepared to return to the Titanic for the first time since he discovered the famous shipwreck nearly two decades ago.
He had been hearing reports of severe deterioration of the
ship from natural causes and from damage done by scores of dives.
Ballard also worried that passengers' personal belongings had been taken by salvagers.
But using the latest high definition cameras and precise robotic submarines, he made a startling discovery: Two shoes, one larger than the other, next to each other and a hair comb
nearby, along with materials from a third-class cabin. Ballard believes the shoes belonged to a mother and her daughter.
"They're the tombstones," Ballard said. "I can tell you it absolutely speaks to you when you go there. It's not just a ship. It's a very special place and we should spend our energy to keep it that way."

EDITORIAL BOARD
Students' feelings best shown by referendum
Several weeks after proposing to implement a fee for classes offered through the College of Liberal Arts.
and Sciences, Kim Wilcox, dean in liberal arts, said a new fourth stage was added to the proposal. In this new stage, students would be able to vote on the increases. However, the dean's words are misleading.
The methods through which this vote would occur are numerous: the College Assembly could decide the issue; students could vote in a referendum; surveys could be passed out on campus; individual departments or Student Senate could vote on the proposal.
All but instituting a referendum on the spring ballot are inadequate methods for determining the student stance on such a critical issue.
The CLAS College Assembly hardly has the authority to vote on something of such a sensitive nature. Considering that any student member of the Assembly isn't elected by the student body, and that a good portion of the board is made up of faculty, it doesn't have the appropriate group from which to draw a student opinion on paying an eventual $30 more a credit hour for tuition. And few student members even attend Assembly meetings, further diminishing real student input.
Surveys are an inappropriate method of collecting data. It can be argued that people don't take voting seriously, but they'll take surveys even less so. Where would the surveys be passed out in order to get an accurate reading of all types of students, from the freshman in humanities, to the engineering graduate student? Using surveys to determine future fee increases is reminiscent of the solicitors in front of Wescoe Hall. No one would pay attention.
Using surveys to determine future tuition bills is reminiscent of the solicitors one sees in front of Wescoe Hall at the beginning of every fall semester. No one would pay attention.
What departments would be able to give their opinion? The proposal would primarily benefit the humanities and life sciences. What about the engineering, business, art, and architecture schools? Would they have an equal voice, since their students do have to take some CLAS courses?
Allowing Student Senate to vote on the issue appears to be an appropriate way of finding the student perspective. Unfortunately, such a task is not their responsibility. Senate controls the funds received through student fees, not tuition. Senators would be voting on something they have no power over — money they could never allocate.
A referendum is the only option available if CLAS truly desires an accurate reading of how students feel about an increase in tuition.
Students may choose not to vote, or make light of the situation, but giving them the opportunity to give their opinions without diluting it through the Assembly, departments, or Student Senate would not only allow a better perception of student opinion, but give CLAS the authority it would need, should the referendum pass.
After all, they'll be able to truly say,
"You voted for it."

Paralympic medal invaluable
All too often, we fail to recognize the small miracles taking place around us. In particular, we forget about the miracles that must take place for people with disabilities to achieve what are, to us, very ordinary and common feats. And we fail to give those people the recognition and praise they deserve.
NOT UNHEARD OF
For example, a Canadian woman, Chantal Petitclerc, who uses a wheelchair, recently won five gold medals at the 2004 Athens Paralympic Games. She also broke three world records and, because of her, Canada's national anthem was played at the Athens Olympic Stadium for the only time throughout the entire Olympics or Paralympics Games.
Petitclerc returned home to Canada a heroine. However, she found herself sharing the title of Canadian track athlete of the year with a disability-impaired athlete who had failed to win any medals at the Olympics.
Controversy erupted among both people with and without disabilities over the perceived slight to Petitclerc's achievements.
"The controversy crystallizes an issue that has long lurked under the surface but is rarely debated: Is a Paralympic medal worth the same as an Olympic medal? How do you compare them?" Randy Starkman wrote last week in an editorial in the Toronto Star.
TARA SHUPNER

A Paralympic medal should be considered worth more than an Olympic
Athletes without disabilities need only train physically and mentally. They do not have to deal with the added stress of reconditioning years of a socially imposed stigma that they cannot succeed in athletics if they are disabled. They do not have to struggle to find money or obtain sponsorships from companies who prefer to give their money to big-name athletes without disabilities.
But that's only a tiny portion of the bigger picture.
People with disabilities everywhere struggle against the concept that their achievements are of lesser value than those of people without disabilities.
People cheer when a high school football player scores a touchdown. Who cheers when a child with cerebral palsy, after months of physical therapy,
is able to pick up a football for the first time?
People give a standing ovation after a soloist completes an aria. Who cheers when a child who has never heard a single sound, after years of speech therapy, says "mother" for the first time?
People flock to bookstores and give rave reviews for the latest bestselling novel. Who notices when a child with Down's syndrome writes his own name for the first time?
People gasp when a NFL player is brutally tackled, but who, other than a doting parent, notices when a blind child walks into a wall while learning how to use a cane?
A runner trains for months for a marathon. But children with disabilities often go to therapy for hours everyday, for years, just to be able to walk, read, write, speak, hear, and do many other things we all take for granted.
Every child with a disability has a marathon to train for. Every adult with a disability has gone through years of training to get to where they are now. They all deserve as much recognition as Olympic athletes. They certainly have invested as much work, energy, perseverance, and dedication as the most successful athlete in the world.

According to an October study by the Pew Hispanic Center the average white family had a net worth of $88,651 which is 11 times greater than Hispanic families ($7,932) and 14 times greater than black families ($5,988). It appears that the effects of racism are alive and well in America.
COMMENTARY
BLAKE SWENSON opinion@kansan.com
I was watching an episode of Frontline the other day about marketing and they showed a focus group for white bread. They asked a man how he felt when he ate white bread, whether he was lonely, depressed, satisfied, happy. It is now known how people feel when they eat Wonder bread but I am still sure that the government has not figured out a way to manipulate us into an unnecessary war.
COMMENTARY
Why do we always lead ourselves into war? We know it does not end well and usually does not solve the problem. We are taught from a young age by parents, teachers, coaches, etc. that violence is not the answer and you even get in trouble if you do fight. Yet whenever there is a choice between violence and nonviolence our government chooses violence, why? Sociologists tell us that violence just perpetuates violence, why has America not paid attention.

coverage. That is a more tangible reason than we gave for attacking Iraq and it had nothing to do with our way of life or democracy, like President Bush had told us.
What is happening in Russia? Why is President Bush allying himself so closely to his buddy Vlad when he is dismantling the democracy that Reagan and George H.W. Bush helped to create? This seems to be a bit contradictory to our policy of pro democracy everywhere else. It would be ironic if President Bush's legacy is allowing Russia to turn back into a dictatorship.
Crazy year-end prediction: This time next year we will be at war with Iran. I can't wait to get my draft card in the mail.
This is a small sample of what we have to look forward to for the next four years. It is clear why it is more important than ever for us to stand together and fight for the most important lines in the pledge of Allegiance, "With Liberty and Justice for All."
And always remember what Ghandi told us, "We must become the change we want to see."

She understands students like to party, but wishes they would be more respectful. "It's hard when you've got a full-time, 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week job as a mom." Kim said. "You need your sleep."
She calls the police dispatcher when the music gets too loud for her to sleep. The police talk to the students, or sometimes only drive by, Kim said.
The police receive between eight and 10 calls a night on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, said Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department.
During that three-day weekend, the police received more than 70 noise complaints, he said.

"As soon as they leave, the party keeps going," Kim said about the responding police officers. "The party usually spills out into the front or back yard."

Kim is most worried about the drug use. She says her family will move by the time her son can understand what neighbors are doing when they pass the bong on the front porch.
"Our neighbors host some of those parties," she said. "Some nights are really, really loud."
Yount understands why neighbors complain about students like her.
"I'm not here to judge and I'm not here to point a finger." Kim said. "I worry about the students' safety."
Many students do not realize families live in the neighborhood. Students live next door to her in all four directions, she said.
Other neighbors, including Davis, call the police too, but only when about 100 people gather in someone's front yard and the noise is unbearable, she said.
"You don't see kids playing in front vardges." Yount said.
That happens about once a year on Louisiana Street where she lives, but neighbors on Tennessee Street have trouble sleeping every weekend, she said.
KU students collaborated for a classic key stand Saturday night at 13th and Ohio streets. Though students love to party, neighbors have growing concerns about the noise, trash and property damage that is associated with house parties.
Chris Cardinal threw a party two weeks ago at his house on Mississippi Street.

Parties in the Oread neighborhood usually have a couple of kegs and can get as big as hundreds of people, he said. The fire department and a police car showed up at his party because they had a bonfire. He has a large backyard with a firepit, so he didn't see why there was a problem.

vear," said Cardinal, Salina senior.
Cardinal said he warned neighbors in advance whenever he hosted a party and told them they would clean everything up. If neighbors thought they took too long to clean up, they should come over and say something, he said.
"Most college students wouldn't see that as an unreasonable request." Cardinal said.
Sometimes students get tired of going to bars and want to have a party at home for just their friends.
"You're living in a college town," Cardinal said. "I don't think people should be too surprised that their next-door neighbors or people across the street are throwing a party."
Neighbors see it differently.
Neighbors see it differently. "Usually by the time I call, a couple other people have called," Davis said.
Calling the police at 2 a.m. makes neighbors feel awkward. "It calms down for a while then starts again," Davis said. "It's hard to get the police to be responsive."
If a neighbor wants to file a complaint, the police have to go to that neighbor's house after they've talked to the residents at the house with the party, Davis said.
"You don't particularly want the neighborhood to know you were the one who made the call." Davis said.
Currently, the police can't write a citation without a report from a neighbor, Ward said. But most of the time the neighbor doesn't want to be contacted, he said. When the neighbor calls, the police ask if they want to file a report.
In order for the police to cite an individual, the officer has to have a complaint, Ward said.
If a neighbor files a complaint, the police will set a court date for two to three months down the road. At the hearing, that neighbor would have to testify by the resident who had

the party. The resident with the party will face a $50 fine if the process is completed.
The meeting with the police chief two weeks ago didn't help much, Davis said. "There doesn't seem to be a way to simplify the process."
The police say they take neighbors' concerns into consideration and are working on ways to streamline the noise complaint process. Most calls, however, come in after the bars close when the police are short-handed. Ward said.
"We only have so many officers on the street," Ward said.
The police department is working with the Municipal Court to determine whether they can change the noise complaint policy and give citations on the spot. Ward said.
University officials meet with the police department each semester to ensure that KU has a
good relationship with the community, said Richard Johnson, vice provost for student success
"Our limitations of judicial behavior stops at our borders," Johnson said. "Our policies are for students when they're on campus."
The University believes students should be good citizens in the community but can only patrol University property, Johnson said.
Davis realizes that parties are inevitable but she worries about the deterioration of housing and maintenance of property.
"The focus is on stabilizing the neighborhood." Davis said.
"When it's totally rental, you have a lack of accountability."
Davis thinks affluent parents who buy houses for their children to live in are a problem. She said students would not treat their family homes this way.
"The parents won't do anything about it." Kim said. "They bought the house for the kids to live in."
Yount thinks some students see the houses as old and trashy rather than historical and beautiful.

Last month, it submitted a proposal to the state of Kansas for a grant, which would provide tax credits to residents who renovated historical homes in the Oread neighborhood. Association members hope to hear about the grant early next year.
Now they're just happy it's December and the fall semester will be over soon.

Mass St. sees holiday boom
BY STEPHANE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSU SVAFF WRITER
Lawrence downtown businesses are gearing up for holiday shoppers.
On Dec. 6, most Massachusetts Street businesses will begin staying open until 8 p.m. during the week and then keep regular business hours on the weekends, said Maria Martin, director for Downtown Lawrence, Inc.
John Tran/KANSAN
As stores have begun holiday preparation earlier, others stores follow the trend, Martin said. Her store, Southwest and More, 727 Massachusetts St., is already decorated, and employees are stairing longer.
The Casbah 803 Massachusetts St., is also staying open late. The owner said the store would be open until 8 p.m., as opposed to its normal closing time of 6 p.m.
"But if there are people out, we'll keep our doors open," said Terri Faune, owner.
Like other stores, it also increases its number of employees during the holidays. There are usually two or three employees in the store, Faune said, but during December they double and the week before Christmas she said that number triple that number.
More hours mean more money for Alison Eastwood, Overland Park senior.
"This time of year is just the most important to us." she said.
Eastwood is a sales representative at Bloom Bath and Body, 704 Massachusetts St. She said she works more than 30 hours a week during the holidays.
"There's a little more stress, because there's more people shopping," Eastwood said as she walked off to help more customers in the packed store on Saturday.
Creation Station, 726
Massachusetts St., is open
My Father's Daughter, 844 Massachusetts St., displays a holiday scene in its front window. Stores downtown are preparing for the holiday season.
longer. Normally, the store is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and until 8 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
During the holidays, the store is open until 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Sunday store hours stay the same.
Kelley Sanchez, Topeka junior, is a Creation Station employee, and said the late hours sometimes prevent her from going to Watson Library.
The library usually closes at 8 p.m. on Sundays, but is open later during December for finals.
"I don't really mind, since school's gonna be out pretty soon," Sanchez said.
Sanchez said getting her own holiday shopping was sometimes hard to do, because most of the stores on Massachusetts Street closed before she got off work.
The holidays are important. In retail, toward the last half of the fourth quarter is where the highest dollars are generated for those businesses, Martin said.

VOLLEYBALL: Last few weeks were team's best
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The Huskies caught fire and responded with seven unanswered points, including two consecutive blocks by Washington middle blocker Darla Myhre that brought the crowd to its feet.
Ken Michelson/The Daily, University of Washington
With the game tied at 28, Myhre blocked freshman opposite hitter Emily Brown on the right side of the net to give her team its first game point.
During the next two games, the Kansas defense had 50 digs, frustrating Washington hitters.
The Jaj Hawks had the next game point, but Lima's serve sailed past the back boundary to tie the game once again. The game ended on the Huskies' third game point when Kansas sophomore outside hitter Jana Correa just missed an unguarded area in front of the Washington bench. She fell to her knees as the attack landed out of bounds.
Lima and Caten, who led the Jayhawks offense in game one, disappeared in game two as the Huskies blocked or dug nearly all of the pair's attempts. Two late penalties on the Jayhawks gave the Huskies a 25-20 lead, and they kept the Jayhawks at arm's length for the rest of the set.
"We couldn't get the ball to the
ground," McLaughlin said. "They were winning the long rallies."
The battle had hardly begun before the third game. The Jayhawks built a 5-point lead as they did in game one, but this time defense and Caten's kills snuffed the Huskies' rally bids. She scored two kills late in the set that ended Washington rallies at two and three points.
In game four, the Jayhawks again rallied behind Caten. She scored the team's last four points. When the game-ending kill landed, sophomore outside hitter Jana Correa sprung from her tense crouch on the sideline
to hug her teammate at the middle of the net.
That emotion lasted through the first half of the deciding game. The Jayhawks led 8-7 as the teams switched sides at the game's midpoint. The Huskies then scored two rapid kills that ricocheted off Kansas block attempts at the middle of the net.
Lima scored a block and a kill later in the game to make the score 12-13. Those would be the last two points of the season for the Jayhawks. After a final kill by Washington all-Pac 10 outside hitter Sanja Tomasovic, Lima's
short attempt hit the net, ending a season that once was unlikely to extend into December.
Bechard said his team peaked at the right time this season.
"We played the last three to four weeks like we thought we were capable all year," he said. "It is a stepping stone for our program."
The defeat to the host team came after the Jayhawks defeated Santa Clara 3-1 Friday night. Strong passing and serving propelled the Jayhawks to the victory.
Lima had six kills in game one, as did Santa Clara outside hitter Toni Muratore.
The team also won a first round contest last season before falling to the host team in the second round.
Despite Saturday's defeat, the team was upbeat as they bussed to their hotel. At a late dinner, the Jayhawks laughed and joked as they enjoyed large desserts for the first time in months.
Senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels said she would never forget the match when they played point-for-point with a team Bechard called "arguably the best in the country."
"I'm just glad we ended the season playing like we are," Michaels said.

It's still unclear whether the group would have to start a new petition to get the issue on another election ballot, or whether the outdated signatures could just be replaced with new ones, he said.
Signatures on the first petition sheet expired yesterday. Each sheet has about 180 days from the time it was dated to when it needs to be turned in.
sion was the choice the group decided on at the time, he said.
"There's four or five uncertain paths that we could go down," said Rick Renfro, owner of Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St. Working with the commis-
The compromise the group of coalition members and business owners have proposed is an ordinance from St. Louis Park, Minn. The ordinance requires all establishments that are not smoke-free to have random air samples taken by the city. The nicotine concentration in the samples will be tested. The establishments must display a sticker in the window to notify the public that they might be exposed to tobacco smoke in non-smoking sections. The sticker will also include the results of the samples' testing.
The city will supply the businesses with pamphlets for distribution to the public on the effects of environmental tobacco smoke.
"I'm disappointed that there's not going to be an election," said Dennis Highberger, commissioner. "I don't foresee a fundamental change in the existing ordinance."
The election would have given people a chance to have their say on the smoking ban, he said. The proposed ordinance is about as close as it can get to the city not having anything at all, he said. Employees and customers would still be exposed to cigarette smoke, and the collected samples only test
for one ingredient, nicotine, in tobacco smoke. Highberger was one of four city commissioners who voted for the smoking ban.
Highberger said he was interested in looking into allowing alcohol establishments to have outdoor seating, so people could bring their drinks outside while they smoke. Currently, only businesses with 70 percent revenue in food sales can have outdoor seating.
Sue Hack was the only commissioner who voted against the ban. There are compromises available, Hack said.
The commission is scheduled to discuss the proposed ordinance on Dec. 14.

Minnesota chills Kan
Despite halftime lead, sporadic shooting dooms Jayhawks in second half
BY PAUL BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
Kansas held the lead for 23 minutes yesterday against No. 18 Minnesota. The team opened its first road game by making its first three attempts from beyond the three point arc.
To close out the game, though Kansas missed its last six shots to end a disappointing second period that surrendered the six-point halftime advantage on its way to a 62-45 loss to Minnesota yesterday in Minneapolis.
Kansas came out with a hot hand in the first half as they jumped out to a 19-4 lead at the 12-minute mark. The early run was ignited by long-range shooting from senior guard Aquanita Burras, junior guard Kaylee Brown and junior guard Erica Hallman, who all hit three-point shots to extend the score in
Kansas' favor.
"The start of the game we just weren't quite ready," Minnesota associate coach Barb Smith said. "They took it at us and we let them."

After the early spurt was over, Kansas did hit another threepointer for the rest of the afternoon.

down for the Jayhawks (3-3) later in the first half and the Gophers (6-1) brought the lead from 15 points to only six at the break, 33-27.
The second half was an entirely different story from the first as the lavhawk lead quickly crumbled.
Kansas junior forward Crystal Kemp, who finished with a game-high 17 points.
put the Jayhawks up 37-30 with her second jumper of the period at the 16:52 mark. The Jayhawks then embarked on another lengthy drought of seven minutes with out a point. Two Kemp free throws broke the dry spell for Kansas, but the game had already been lost.
"We've got to sustain and develop some consistency from half to half," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "When we made mistakes in the second half they capitalized."
Minnesota took full advantage of the offensive breakdown by Kansas to turn a seven point deficit into an eight point lead during the drought and continued to flex its muscles for the remainder of the game. Besides Kemp, only three other players, Burras, Brown and Hallman scored for the Jayhawks. Hallman tallied 11, Brown had 10 and Burras added seven points
The 17-0 second half run for the
Golden Gophers was primed by national player of the year candidate Janel McCarville. Minnesota's senior center endured a subpar first half, but came out of the break to make four steals and three blocks to spark the Gopher defense. McCarville also scored 15 points, grabbed nine rebounds and recorded six assists to lead the Gophers in all statistical categories.
"She was on fire in the locker room," Smith said of McCarville after her disappointing first period performance. "Janel did a great job of letting the first half go."

Henrickson was also impressed by McCarville, but proud of her team's ability to hold her down in the first half.

Senior guard returns to old form in defeat of Pacific Tigers
Senior guard Keith Langford rises above freshman forward Darnell Jackson, Pacific senior center Guillame Yango and Pacific senior guard Marko Mihailovic, to take a shot. Langford led the Jayhawks with 21 points and recorded seven assists and six rebounds in their 81-70 victory Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Senior guard Aaron Miles said he had seen one main difference between his shot now as compared to earlier in the year.
"It's going in," Miles said with a grin. "I was confident the first game and I've been confident ever since. You make some and you miss some. You've just got to keep shooting it."
The senior guard helped pace Kansas' offense, scoring 19 points and adding eight assists and six steals as No.2 Kansas defeated Pacific 81-70 in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks are definitely glad he kept shooting it Saturday.
"I think that's as good as Aaron's played since we've had him," Kansas coach Bill Self said, "and he's had some other great games."
Miles had 10 assists and no turnovers in Monday's game against Nevada, putting two of his best performances back-to-back.
"Today was a little more magnified because he scored a lot more and people aren't used to seeing that," senior forward Wayne Simien said. "But he definitely was quarterbacking things out there today and solidified himself as being one of the top point guards in the country."
The Jayhawks also benefitted from senior guard Keith Langford breaking out of a recent scoring slump. The senior had averaged just 10 points in the first three games of this season after scoring 15.5 points last year, but sparked Kansas Saturday with 21 points on eight-of-16 shooting. He also added a career-high seven assists and six rebounds in 33 minutes of play.
Miles hit all four of his first-half field goal attempts, including a pair of three-pointers, to help Kansas to a 35-34 halftime lead as the team otherwise struggled from the field. He finished six-for-eight in the game, making all three of his three-point attempts and all four of his free throws.
"He had kind of been a dormant volcano building up," Simien said. "I could really tell this week in practice he was going to probably explode this game. I think coach was sensing it too because he's been riding him pretty hard. I think we'll have the Keith of old consistently the rest of the year now."
The Jayhawks responded with an 11-0 run, highlighted by sophomore guard J.R. Giddens' two-handed dunk on an alley-oop from Miles and Simien's tomahawk slam after Langford collected a loose ball.

After a subpar first half with two turnovers in six minutes of play, Robinson responded with strong minutes in the second half. With one hand, he swatted the ball from Mihailovic, leading to an uncontested layup on the other end.
Kansas received key contributions from its bench late in the game, especially from freshmen Russell Robinson and Darnell Jackson.
The game featured four ties and 12 lead changes, with Pacific's last lead coming at the 16:26 mark of the second half at 42-40.

Langford produces exhibits confidence

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
But for that last couple of games, the slashing senior guard hasn't played the way the jayhawks would like him to.
It's not that Keith Langford was in a slump.
He swears it was not a slump.
"It's hard to be in a slump two games into the season," Langford said. "I just need to take my performance and build off of it."
Langford's performance on Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse led the Jayhawks to their 81-70 victory over the Pacific Tigers. He scored 21 points, pulled down six rebounds and dished out seven assists — a nice change for Langford, who had been averaging nine points per game.
Langford was aggressive, penetrating to the basket and creating shots for himself and his teammates. He took advantage of the Tigers' double-teams on senior forward Wayne Simien, which created space in the defense for Langford to take his player off of the dribble for a jump shot.
"The funky way that they defended us gave gaps from time to time," Langford said.
Coach Bill Self has told Langford since the beginning of the season that he needs to be assertive in order for the Jayhawks to be successful. They have had several talks lately about how they think he should play. Self had just one request.
JEAN SHORT MAIDEN
"I just want him to be aggressive," Self said. "When he is aggressive, he can shoot it, he can pass it, he can make two people guard him."
But Self was more than satisfied with Langford's performance on Saturday.
"That looked like Keith," Self said. "I thought Keith was great. He was aggressive. He had more confidence on his legs. I was real pleased with Keith."

Kickin' with Beck Memories strategy
He removes the Nike tennis shoe from his right foot and slips on a sleek, thin shoe with the laces oddly placed on the side.
Johnny Beck dumps eight worn-down Nike footballs out of the mesh bag, along with a holding apparatus made of what looks like white plastic PVC-piping.
He tees one up from 30 yards out, takes one step back and one more step to the left. Without looking, he plants his left foot into the ground, and drives through the ball so hard with his right foot that the boom resonates throughout the empty Memorial Stadium stands on a sunny, chilly December afternoon. The ball sails straight, splitting the unrights perfectly.
It sounds so easv.
Doing this every day in practice for the past four years has never been a problem. Beck makes it look automatic. But to the average spectator, it looks damn-near impossible for Beck when there are people rushing him and 40,000 screaming fans in the stands.
There are some athletes who study their sports as though there is a certain philosophy to it. Whether it's timing the release on a jumpshot, getting the perfect snap of the wrist to throw a curveball or practicing a lob over and over to execute that perfect serve, it's all over the place.
But almost nowhere in sports does any athlete need to take more factors into consideration than with kicking a football. There's the wind, the turf and the condition of the football.
That's just the start of it.
No one knows this better than Beck, who has been a whipping boy during the past two years for his adventures in kicking. He's got an NFL leg, but accuracy has been a problem. It's easy to criticize Beck sitting on your couch at home, but it's a different experience when you're standing on the field.
That's what happened last week, when the graduating Kansas kicker took the time to give me an inside look at the intricacies of kicking a field goal at Memorial Stadium.
It's a wind thing
Johnny tees it up from around 45 yards. He gets a nice 'swing' on the ball, and the ball sails straight. All of a sudden, it blows to the right, then back to the left and wide of the upright. No good. It looked like a pitcher throwing a knuckleball.
At most stadiums, low-rising bleachers can be the death of place kickers and their accuracy. Once the ball rises above the top row, the wind swirls in different paths, making judging direction a task nearly too big to handle.
One kick Beck remembers was at Northwestern on Sept. 18. Beck's second missed field goal of the game was a 43-yarder that was wide right in the final seconds of the 20-17 defeat. Some who were there argue the kick was good, because it sailed high above the top of the uprights. But once it got that high, it was in the wind's control.
Beck said missing a field goal is much different in college than in the pros. At Kansas, everyone is in the same boat, and hefty player contracts are not involved, so everyone feels for everyone when things fall through, he said. Beck, who has taken tips from St. Louis Rams kicker Jeff Wilkins, said in the NFL, when a kicker misses one, his teammates are more likely to question what he's getting paid for.
It works both ways.

Steroid abusers of present, notpast, pursued by Selig
NEW YORK — For all the fuss over reported admissions of steroid use by Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield, major league baseball probably won't discipline them.
Instead of addressing the past, baseball commissioner Bud Selig is more concerned with pressuring players to agree to more frequent testing before the current labor contract expires in December 2006.
Already convicted in the court of public opinion, the players who testified before a federal grand jury are protected from discipline because steroids weren't banned by major league baseball until Sept. 30, 2002, previously undetectable THG wasn't prohibited until last March, and Human Growth Hormone still isn't blacklisted.
And while baseball's labor contract calls for penalties for positive tests and criminal convictions, there's no discipline specified for fessing up to past use.
"These articles say baseball is reeling from these allegations." Mets pitcher Tom Glavine, a players' association leader, said yesterday. "To me, there is nothing new. People have been talking about the steroid issue for several years now. What's coming out of the grand jury testimony, I don't think there's anything surprising. Yes, it's a big story. It absolutely needs to be addressed. But it shouldn't be surprising or earth-shattering to anybody."
Dozens of major leaguers gather this week for the union's annual executive board meeting, which starts Monday in Phoenix.

Emotional Chiefs get victory, inspiration
OAKLAND, Calif. — A smiling Dick Vermell scurried through the tight quarters of the visiting locker room hugging and high-fiving his players.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It took a near perfect half by Trent Green, tender ribs and all, to get the Chiefs an important comeback win.
Kansas City's disappointing season took a positive turn yesterday, and the emotional coach felt some sense of relief to finally be on the winning end again.
Green completed 14-of-15 passes after halftime for 229 of his 340 yards and hit Eddie Kennison for a tiebreaking 70-yard touchdown with 2:04 left in Kansas City's 34-27 victory over the Oakland Raiders yesterday.
"Trent did a beautiful job." Vermill said. "Sometimes you take him for granted because you see him do so many wonderful things. I don't know if any quarterback has had a better second half of football than he played today. ... We've been struggling. It was big for us. We needed it badly."
Kennison's winning catch came at the 35-yard line, then he ran out of the grasp of rookie safety Stuart Schweigert.
The Chiefs (4-8) scored on all four of their second-half possessions to end a four-game losing streak.
"From the overall game management standpoint, it was my best game," said Green, who didn't know for sure until Friday that he would play. "All four of our receivers were going deep. I noticed Eddie was behind his coverage."
Kennison finished with eight catches for 149 vards.
Larry Johnson scored two secondhalf touchdowns, on a five-yard run and a 10-vard reception from Green.
Johnson was given the game ball afterward, and praised by general manager Carl Peterson.
"A lot of people in the media said I couldn't do what I did today," said Johnson, the team's top draft pick in 2003. "I knew if I got the opportunity, I could do something."
Kansas football grabs three recruits
BY JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
It was the University's housing that sold defensive lineman Bobby Johnson on the University of Kansas.
This weekend Johnson joined two other recruits as the newest additions to a growing football team.
In an interview with *Rivals.com* the 6-foot-3, 270 pound, defensive lineman said that he loved everything about the visit. One thing really stuck with him, though.
"One thing I really liked were the dorms. They were huge. They are bigger than the apartments." Johnson told
Rivals.com. Many players live in Jayhawker Towers.
Johnson comes out of Kansas City, Mo., and goes to Westport High School. A two-star recruit, Johnson is listed as the 19th best recruit in the state of Missouri.
Johnson also reported that another recruit committed just before he did, after visiting this weekend. According to Johnson, 6-foot-3, 295 pound, defensive lineman Wayne Wilder also will be attending Kansas next year.
Wilder will come in as a transfer from Garden City Community College. He has also received offers from Iowa State and Kansas State, and interest from Florida
and Arkansas, Wilder is originally from Macon, Ga., and plans to graduate from Community College in December.
He could join the Kansas team at semester.
Russel Brorsen, 6-foot-4, 235 pounds, also visited this weekend, and reported to *Rivals.com* that he left impressed. Out of Stillwater, Okla., Brorsen also wrestles and had a hard time finding time to visit. When he did manage to make it to Lawrence Saturday, he left impressed.
Brorsen reported to Rivals.com that he informed coach Bill Young that he wanted to be a Javhawk.
"It feels nice to make a commitment."
he said. "Now it takes the pressure off me. Now I don't have to worry whether Kansas will fill up their scholarships."
Brorsen had 59 tackles this season, and received interest from Oklahoma State, Tulsa and Navy according to Rinals.com.
Johnson was also being recruited by Tula and Wyoming and was receiving intr. est from Missouri. Wilder received offers from South Carolina and Florida, according to Rivals.com.
These three join a list of five who have already given verbal commitments to the lavhawks, according to Rivals.com.

Auburn left out in BCS shuffle
ity
Texas leapfrogs California to earn Rose Bowl bid
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Now Auburn knows what it feels like to be the odd team out.
Southern California and Oklahoma finished atop the final Bowl Championship Series standings Sunday and will meet in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 4 in a title game that might not produce a unanimous national champion.
The Tigers, who finished 12-0 just like the Trojans and Sooners, finished third in the BCS points system that relies on The Associated Press and coaches polls, plus computer ratings. So the Tigers will have to settle for a Sugar Bowl berth against Virginia Tech on Jan. 3.
"It's not a perfect system, and if it was we'd all be happy today," Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville said during ABC's
broadcast of the BCS pairings announcement.
USC finished with .9770 in the standings, and Oklahoma had 9681.
Auburn, third much of the season, had .9331. Oklahoma's strong computer rankings kept the Sooners ahead of the Tigers in the BCS standings, while USC held on to first place thanks to its strong showing in the polls.
Last season, USC was left out of the BCS title game, despite being No. 1 in both the AP and coaches polls at the end of the regular season. Instead, Oklahoma played LSU in the Sugar Bowl, even though the Sooners lost the Big 12 title game.
When all the bowls were finished, LSU won the BCS championship, and USC was No. 1 in the final AP poll.
In an attempt to avoid a repeat, the BCS scaled back its formula this season, making it far more reliant on the human polls. But another problem
arose, of course: For the first time since the BCS was implemented in 1998, there were more than two unbeaten teams from major conferences.
At least Auburn is in a top bowl. California was left out altogether after Texas passed the Golden Bears and moved into fourth in the final BCS standings. The Longhorns (10-1) will play Big Ten co-champion Michigan (9-2) in the Rose Bowl.
Utah (11-0) officially became the first team from a non-BCS conference to receive a bid to one of the four $14 million bowl games, earning a spot in the Fiesta Bowl against Big East representative Pittsburgh (8-3).
The Utes, from the Mountain West Conference, will play their last game under coach Urban Meyer on Jan. 1 in Tempe, Ariz. Meyer is headed to Florida.
the same from the AP preseason Top 25 through the final regular season poll, though the Sooners shared second with Auburn for one week.
The Trojans and Sooners went wire-to-wire atop both polls. It's the first time Nos. 1 and 2 stayed
So yesterday's Orange Bowl announcement was not surprising. Auburn, Oklahoma and USC all finished their regular seasons with wins Saturday, making it extremely unlikely that there would be any change at the ton of the BCS.
Texas' move past Cal might have caught some people off guard, however.
But Texas began gaining ground in the polls, especially with the coaches, as Longhorns coach Mack Brown lobbied for votes.
It looked like the Bears controlled their BCS destiny a few weeks ago and simply needed to win out to reach the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1959.
Texas' first BCS bid also means the Rose Bowl won't have its traditional Big Ten vs. Pac-10 matchup.

Moya defeats Roddick to win Davis Cup
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEVILLE, Spain — Andy Roddick searched out Carlos Moya in the throng of jumping, screaming Spanish tennis players, hoping to shake hands.
Moya had just beaten Roddick 6-2, 7-6 (1), 7-6 (5) yesterday to clinch Spain's second Davis Cup title — and extend the U.S. team's drought in tennis' top team competition.
"When someone accomplishes something like the Spanish team did today, you have to respect that and give them their due credit," Roddick said yesterday. "They did a great job."
(8) . 6-2 to make it 3-2.
Holding back tears, Moya ran over and reached up through a rail to greet Prince Felipe, heir to the Spanish throne, and his wife, Princess Letizia.
"The Davis Cup is my dream." Mova said.
His victory over Roddick on the slow, red clay that dulls the American's powerful serves and forehands put Spain up 3-1 in the best-of-five series.
In the closing match, Olympic silver medalist Mardy Fish defeated Tommy Robredo 7-6
U. S. captain Patrick McEnroe was counting on getting two wins in singles from Roddick, who won the 2003 U.S. Open and finished that year atop the rankings.
Spain figured to have the edge, because of the surface and the drum-thumping din of 27,200 red-and-yellow-clad fans at Olympic Stadium.
Instead, Roddick went 0-2; he lost in four sets Friday to 18-year-old Rafael Nadal. While nothing Nadal or Moya did should have been particularly surprising to Roddick, he was startled in yesterday's third set when a man known in Spain for self-promotion ran onto the court. He tried to put a red hat on Moya's head but was quickly taken away.
Spain took a 2-0 lead in Friday singles, and only one team — Australia in 1939 — has come back from that deficit to win the Davis Cup. But twins Bob and Mike Bryan took the doubles Saturday, giving the United States a shot.
"We could have won it this year," McEnroe said. "We needed the swing of just a few points. But the ultimate goal — we haven't quite reached it yet."
McEnrope asked Andre Agassi to play this final, but he declined.
"For Andre, the door is always open," McEnroe said. "He's never completely shut the door, at least to me."
The Americans have won the Davis Cup 31 times, but not since 1995 — their longest gap since the one between titles in 1926 and 1937.
Moya, a former No.1 and the 1998 French Open champion, missed Spain's 2000 Davis Cup championship with an injury. He lost three times before to Roddick — all on hard courts — but played the match of his life Sunday.
He broke in Roddick's first two service games. After that it was even, but Moya's steady groundstrokes and deft drop shots kept Roddick guessing.
When Roddick tried to come in, Moya lobbed him or passed him. At times, Roddick had to serve with drums thumping and
fans screaming.
"You look up and there are people for as far as you can see going nuts and cheering." Roddick said. "This weekend is unlike anything I have experienced before."
Moya breezed through the first set in 36 minutes. In the second, Roddick broke Moya in the fourth game to lead 3-1.
But during that game, Roddick slipped and fell heavily at the baseline, wrong-footed by Mova.
Roddick limped slightly and later called it a "minor groin strain." McEnroe said it was worse than that.
"I was actually, at one point, considering stopping the match late in the second set ... because I worried he was going to get hurt," McEnroe said. "It seemed to get better. But he tweaked it pretty good."
In the second-set tiebreaker, Roddick double-faulted as Moya pulled ahead 4-1. The Spaniard went up 5-1 with another lob winner, and Moya closed out the tiebreaker when Roddick netted a backhand, ending the 59-minute set.

Case joins Kleinmann as a redshirted player
Sophomore guard Jeremy Case will sit out the 2004-05 season as a redshirt, coach Bill Self announced Friday. The 6-foot guard from McAlester, Ola., has been limited in practice because of a naging groin injury.
"When I first got back the option was there to compete and when I got hurt it made the opportunity even harder," Case said. "Not getting back before the games started really made me decide to redshirt."
Case played in 21 games last season, averaging 3.9 minutes and 1.2 points per game.
"We think Jeremy is going to be a good player," Self said. And we really don't redshirt
guys unless we know they will contribute."
With a redshirt, Case will not play this season but gain a year of eligibility. He can still practice with the team and will return next year as a sophomore again.
"My role is to work as hard as I can in practice and help my teammates get ready for the teams we will be playing." Case said. "I really believe redshirtings is best for the team, and I want what's best for the team.
Case joins freshman walk-on Matt Kleinmann as the only two redshirts on this year's team.
NFL
Diego Chargers' long nightmare is coming to an end.
Chargers play biggest game, defeat Broncos SAN DIEGO The San
The Chargers — yes, the Chargers — took firm control of the AFC West by hanging on to beat the Denver Broncos 20-17 in a wild one yesterday.
LaDainian Tomlinson ran for two touchdowns and San Diego's defense and saved the day by intercepting Jake Plummer four times.
Playing their biggest game in 10 years, the Chargers (9-3) clinched their first winning season since 1995 and took a two-game lead in the division against Denver (7-5).
The Associated Press
San Diego is on a six-game winning streak for the first time since going 6-0 to open the 1994 season, when it made its only Super Bowl appearance. Overall, the Chargers wong eight of nine.
McCarville was helped by Minnesota sophomore forward Liz Podominick who chipped in 14 points and junior guard Katie Alsdurf who scored 13.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
While Minnesota rolled up the points, Kansas remained in an offensive rut that resulted in the Jayhawks being outscored 35-12 in the last 20 minutes. It was the second straight game that the Gophers held an opponent to 12 second half points. The Jayhawks shot only 5-18 from the field after a 14-29 field goal showing in the first half.
CHILLS: Only two KU players put up points in second half
Brown and Kemp were the only Kansas players to score after halftime.
After a three game winning streak, the Jayhawks have lost two consecutive contests. Kansas will try for a victory on Wednesday with a 7 p.m. home game against Western Illinois.
LANGFORD: Career-high seven assists top the afternoon
— Edited by Steve Schmidt
double-teaming Simien, the Jayhawks needed their veteran guards to step up.
"My performance, along with Aaron's, was very necessary for us to beat this team." Langford said.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
After Langford scored 13 points in the first half, Pacific came out after halftime with an extra defender on him. When he penetrated, Pacific's defense would collapse, allowing Langford to kick that ball out to Miles for a mid-range jump shot.
"Keith's penetration, and the way they guarded, allowed me to do some good things," Miles said.
After the game, the Jayhawks couldn't stop talking about the way Pacific came out defending the high-Jow.
Self said the Tigers fronted Simien but didn't guard the high post. Essentially, they were switching, so that they fronted Simien initially, then switched off of him to guard the high post.
"He had to get some of his con
fidence and swagger back and he looked like he had some of that today."
Kansas men's basketball coach
Bill Self
When Jayhawks expected the high post pass to be open, it was not.
That might have flustered the Jayhawks, but because of Langford's confidence in taking the ball to the basket, the Jayhawks found other ways to create shot opportunities.
Self said he was glad that it was Langford who stepped up for the Jiahawks on Saturday.
"He had to get some of his confidence and swagger back and he looked like he had some of that today," Self said.
Edited by Ryan Greene
"When I missed that kick, I didn't feel bad for myself," he said. "I felt for those other guys."

GREENE: Beck doesn't excuse his struggles
Beck tees up a relatively short kick from around 35 yards out, and the ball sails to the right. As I ask what happened, he points to the turf, where he caught it about a foot behind the ball.
Johnny Beck does not make excuses for his struggles, but the turf at Memorial Stadium certainly does not help. He can point out the spot at the 20-yard line where there is a divot, and he can point out the nasty surface at midfield where the Jayhawk logo is hastily painted onto the faux grass.
The Turf Hurts
The Memorial Stadium surface, which is called Field Turf, is synthetic grass. As opposed to Astro Play, which was invented later
and is in place at Nebraska and Missouri, the blades of 'grass' are shorter, and less realistic. After five seasons of use, the surface in Memorial Stadium has been matted down, and the padding underneath is wearing a bit.
Beck said kicking is easiest on a natural grass surface, because when your foot catches, it's easier to kick through it without your foot being halted.
But once again, it's not an excuse — just an observation.
Beyond Memorial Stadium
Beck tees up four balls from 57 yards out. He makes two of them, but they're all close.
Wilkins lives. He kicks everyday in practice and plays golf when he's away from football, and he makes seven figures a year.
The first type of professional football Johnny Beck talks about is Arena football. It's certainly a possibility this summer. But Beck also knows there's a calling in the NFL for guys who can specialize in kickoffs and long field goals.
He's seen up close how well
Seven years later,it'll now take a little work.
It seemed more like reality his freshman year at Piper High School in Kansas City, Kan., when he drilled a 48-yard field goal to win the homecoming game in his first kicking appearance.
In the course of an hour at Memorial Stadium, Beck showed his powerful leg and showed me everything down to the proper way to set your plant foot when kicking a field goal. And as his kicks continued to sail true time after time, even he learned something.
"Damn," Beck said. "Maybe I should have worn tennis shoes all four years."
Greene is a Vernon Hills, Ill.. senior in journalism.
MILES: Sharp outside shooting saves Jayhawks
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The next possession, Robinson connected on a 24-foot jumper with the shot clock winding down to give Kansas a 58-48 lead.
Jackson added his own spark at the 8:52 mark. Off a Simien pass, Jackson used three efforts to finish with a layup and a Pacific foul, yelling to the crowd while being picked up by teammates.
The freshmen also contributed on a pair of impressive plays at the seven-minute mark.
Robinson's one-handed bounce pass found a streaking Langford, who scooped it to Jackson inside for an easy lay in. The next possession it was Miles with the assisting, splitting defenders in the lane with a bounce pass to Robinson who finished with a reverse layup for Kansas' largest lead at 66-53.
Jackson and Robinson combined for 11 of the Jayhawks' 13 points during the four-minute stretch in the second half.
"All of the Kansas guards
stepped up today. Last year, we had trouble with Kansas' inside threats. This year it was kind of the opposite."
Christian Maraker Pacific junior forward
stepped up today." Pacific junior forward Christian Maraker said. "Last year, we had trouble with Kansas" inside threats. This year it was kind of the opposite."
Simien scored 12 points and grabbed 15 rebounds for his fourth consecutive double-double. The senior was limited in his offensive touches because of Pacific's decision to put a pair of defenders on the preseason All-American.
Kansas was able to defeat Pacific for a second straight year after beating the Tigers 78-63 in the second round of last year's NCAA tournament.
Miles, who only had a quick glance at the box score after the game, said he only needed one set of numbers to realize he'd had a successful game.
"I did some pretty good things, but the biggest thing is we got the victory," Miles said. "I think that's the most important statistic of anything."
"All of the Kansas guards
Kansas basketball note
Simien played most of the game despite sustaining a deep cut on his left index finger early in the first half.
"I got bit," Simien said. "There was a beast down there in the lane."
The senior forward said he would probably receive a few stitches but did not believe it would affect his play.

HOLIDAYS Organization plans KU Hanukkah activities
BY ANDY HYLAND
ahyland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFFWRITER
www.kansan.com
Tonight KU Hillel will mark the beginning of Hanukkah with a dinner called "Latkepalooza," with traditional latkes, which are potato pancakes fried in oil.
the dinner will be at 6 tonight at the Hillel House, 940 Mississippi.
Hillel is also holding an event on Daisy Hill tonight, running from 8 to 10 in the Ellsworth Hall lobby. It will feature a movie and a menorah lighting ceremony.
Hanukkah runs from sundown tonight until sundown next Wednesday.
The festival of lights, as the holiday is called, comes from the event the holiday commemorates.
"I it's a time to be
with your family and friends and to get together with them and have fun and be grounded in your Judaism a little bit while everything else is going on."
T he Maccabees
while leading a revolt against the Syrian Greeks in 150 B.C., only had enough oil to light a candelabra for one day, but the jar kept the menorah burning for eight days, hence the eight days of Hanukkah, Jay Lewis, program director for KU Hillel, said.
The holiday commemorates the military victory of the Maccabees over the Syrian Greeks, liberating the Jews living in Israel at the time.
Ashley Smith San Antonio freshman
Lewis said it was not historically an important holiday, because it did not come from the Torah, the holy book of Iudaism.
Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Passover are all more important, but that didn't make Hanukkah insignificant, he said.
"It's very much a family time, a lot of warmth," he said. "It's a time for people to come together as a family and as a community. It's just a beautiful holiday."
Melissa Horen, Overland Park sophomore and KU Hillel president, said it was important to remember the two miracles of Hanukkah — the military victory over the Syrians and the jar of oil lasting for eight days.
Horen said that presents weren't a large part of Hanukkah, although some families did give gifts to children on each day of Hanukkah.
Ashley Smith, San Antonio freshman, is putting together the Ellsworth program for KU Hillel.
"It's a really fun holiday for a lot of people." she said.
"It's a time to be with your family and friends and to get together with them and have fun and be grounded in your Judaism a little bit while everything else is going on," Smith said.
They will show the movie Eight Crazy Nights with Adam Sandler, eat edible menorahs and light the menorah candles. There will be a similar program from 8 to 10 in Naismith Hall tomorrow night.

Ticket policy in works

Athletics department considering penalties for scalpers
Gilbert Karuga didn't think anything of putting two tickets for the men's basketball game against Texas Christian up for sale on eBay.
The assistant professor of business
will be at a conference during the Dec. 9 game and figured this way the tickets wouldn't go to waste. Karuga wasn't looking to make money. He just wanted to get back the $64 he paid for seats. They sold for $151.
As soon as next year, however, selling tickets to University athletic events could cost fans like Karuga their ticket
privileges. Rampant ticket reselling has prompted the athletics department to consider a policy that would deny tickets to individuals caught reselling their seats, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.

Playing through Pain
Some athletes can shake off their injuries, while others are sidelined for the season
By Miranda Lenning Kansan staff writer
Kansan file photo
About this time last year, Kansas basketball forward Wayne Simien began his season-long battle with pain. He played with a groin injury that didn't heal until he took five weeks off during the past summer.
1. 2.
Volleyball player Jana Correa wasn't as fortunate. Three months into her college career last fall, she injured her right knee and was out for the rest of the season.
Kansan file photo
Kansas basketball guard Keith Langford injured his knee, too, last year. He played the final month and a half of the season with torn cartilage in his right knee.
Most college players sustain some type of injury during their athletic careers. Sprains and bruises are just part of the game. But after a serious injury, coaches, players and trainers face a difficult decision. Sometimes, athletes can play through their pain. Other times, injuries force them to miss games and often entire seasons. Simien and Langford are just two of the countless athletes throughout the country who have played injured. Whether they do it for their teams, for themselves or for the love of the game,
At the University, the decision to play with an injury goes through three people, said Larry Magee, team physician at the University of
Senior forward Wayne Simien slips on a wet spot on the court during the first half of the Jayhawks' first round NCAA tournament game against Illinois-Chicago. "I didn't have a lot of positive thoughts while laying there on the floor after doing the ballerina splits," Simien said after the game last March.
playing while injured is common in college athletics.
Kansas. The most important two are the trainer and the player. The third decision maker is the coach.
The trainer must decide whether the athlete can continue to play without causing further injury, Magee said. Then, the trainer and the athlete meet to discuss the consequences of continuing to play.
Often, one consequence is that the injury will take longer to heal.
"You have to educate the athlete and then you tell them I think it is safe, but here is what might happen," Magee said. "It may have taken three to four weeks to heal, and now it may take four to six weeks."
If the worst-case scenario of playing injured is merely a longer healing process, trainers do everything they can to prepare the athlete to play, Magee said. However, if doctors suspect permanent damage, they will not clear the player for participation.
When there is no medical risk, and the athlete gives permission, the coach gets involved.

Students browsing the online Kyou portal can now take surveys, check breaking news and check their KU Card history using tabs and channels added during fall break.
After students log in, they see a set of tabs such as "Today@KU" and "Academics and Finances." Beneath each tab are channels, such as "My Briefcase," "My Grades" and "Enroll and Pay."
The new channels include a Campus
The notifications channel, under the "Today@KU tab," is an area where current or breaking news events on campus will be highlighted, said Julie Loats, director of enterprise Web services. These highlights would include flu vaccine availability updates, inclement weather and emergency outages affecting Enroll and Pay, she said.
Notifications channel; survey, poll and announcement channels, and a KU Card history channel.
The survey, poll and announcement channels are ways for offices and departments to push out surveys to various campus groups and send out important announcements, she said.
The KU Card history channel, located under the finances tab, shows students all of their transactions and current balance on their KU Card. Students can already add money to their cards or report them lost or stolen through the portal, Loats said.
The new tabs include "Campus Life" and "My Employee Info."
The "Campus Life" tab contains the survey, poll and announcement

Hawk Week logo contest now accepting 2005 entries
The 2005 Hawk Week Logo competition will reward one student with $250. The winner will also have his design on all Hawk Week publications, including more than 500 Hawk Week T-shirts, 6,000 Hawk Week booklets and the Hawk Week Web site. This is the second year for the competition, sponsored by New Student Orientation.
"It gives the winner a lot of notoriety," Shanda Hurla, Hawk Week coordinator, said.
Entries and applications are due by 5 p.m. on Dec. 17 in room 213 of Strong Hall. Applications are also available in room 213 Strong Hall or on the hawk Week Web site, www.hawkweek.ku.edu. All students enrolled for both Fall 2004 and Spring 2005 are invited to participate.
No entries have passed Hurla's desk yet, but she said she was not worried.
"I remember this time last year I was nervous, but now I know that most of the entries all show up on the last day," she said.
Students are busy this time of year, Hurla said. Last year the competition received more than 20 entries.
The design will be selected by a contest committee. Art and design faculty, Hawk Week staff and students constitute the committee. They will look for originality, connection to Hawk Week, connection to the University of Kansas audience and that it abides to University trademark guidelines.The logo design must include the words "Hawk Week 2005" and"The University of Kansas." Participants will receive the results by e-mail Friday, Feb.4, 2005.
The idea for the competition came from the timetable cover competition. Now that the timetable is no longer printed, the Hawk Week committee decided to have a competition for its logo. There is a lot of talent on campus, Hurla said, and this great experience for students to have.
Hawk Week is a welcoming week for new KU students. Programs during the week try to connect students with campus programs and activities as well as the Lawrence community.

Landfill could produce new energy from waste
Johnson County being tapped for potential natural gas
BY ALISON PETERSON
editor@kansan.com
SPECIAL TO THE KANSAN
When Johnson County residents drive by the huge landfill in north-central Shawnee, they might just see a towering, stinking pile of trash.
But when officials at the Kansas Geological Survey look at it, they see an opportunity.
"We're hoping to take what was formerly considered to be waste and turn it into something useful," Dave Newell, KGS assistant scientist, said.
Last month scientists at the KGS, a University-operated research division, began a study to determine whether the gas generated from the Johnson County landfill, located at I-435 and Holliday Drive, could be used to produce natural gas.
Three survey scientists and two drilling engineers went to the landfill to gather samples for preliminary testing last month.
The survey scientists want to take the nonmethane gases being emitted and pump them into coalbeds lying underneath the landfill to determine if that will force the coalbeds to release natural gases.
Tim Carr, KGS senior scientist, said the study was a type of recycling. If the survey can go ahead with the study after it finishes preliminary tests, it wants to take the noncommercial gases, which would normally be vented into the air, and put them to use to create more commercial gas.
"Basically, we're doing the same thing as Mother Nature," Carr said.
Scientists at the KGS pitched the idea for the study to the landfill operator, Deffenbaugh Industries, at the end of the sum-
"We need data to justify
our next step. If we can't get it, the project ends right there."
Dave Newell KGS assistant scientist
mer. The study is funded by a grant from the United States Department of Energy.
Before the actual study can begin, the group must do a simulation to prove the study will yield positive results.
The group will drill two holes to be tested.
The KGS scientists wanted to begin the process in October, but mechanical problems forced them to wait until last month. They drilled the first hole during mid-November and retrieved coals that looked promising for testing.
The scientists want to drill the second hole in late January.
"We need data to justify our next step," Newell said. "If we can't get it, the project ends right there."
The scientists need to see how the coals react to the gases. Once the drilling is complete, the coal samples will be sent to Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tenn., to undergo testing.
Newell said they would simulate the feel of the natural habitat by subjecting the coal to temperatures and pressures similar to the environment under the landfill.
The coal absorbs the gases pumped into it and kicks off methane in return. Carr said the process was similar to using a charcoal filter on a water faucet.
If the test results show the process is effective, Newell said the next step would be to drill wells in the landfill. Newell said some other landfills in the nation were over coalbeds, similar to the situation in Johnson County.
If this study is profitable other sites can use the same method to produce more natural gas.
The Johnson County Landfill, the largest disposal facility in the greater Kansas City area, at 700 acres, already produces some commercial gas; the scientists at the KGS just hope to create more.
The landfill has been used as an energy source since 1998, in accordance with federal Clean Air Act regulations. Defenbaugh, the landfill operator, takes the available methane and ships it through a pipeline where it can be used for heating and other purposes.
Gas consumption in America is projected to rise from almost 23 trillion cubic feet in 1996 to more than 32 trillion cubic feet in 2020 — an increase of about 30 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Scientists at the KGS are working to make more energy available for the public.
He said that he wants to be part of a solution to that problem.
Newell said they had the potential to increase the availability of energy and natural gas. He said that the demand for natural gas was sustained and the current supply was not reaching that demand.
"Anything to increase the energy supply in this time of high demand and costs," Newell said. "We'll help the supply side."

Kansans split on supporting wind turbines in Flint Hills
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Environmentalists and local preservationists seem natural allies in debates over clean energy, but they're split when it comes to bringing new wind turbines to Kansas' scenic Flint Hills.
Backers of wind-power projects see them as a way to generate electricity without burning coal or natural gas or splitting atoms. But critics say turbines would severely damage the nation's largest remaining swath of tallgrass prairie.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is in the middle of the debate, considering proposals to promote the development of wind farms in Kansas while protecting the prairie.
"Developing wind power is
The Flint Hills cover more than 6 million acres in eastern Kansas, stretching from the Oklahoma border to almost the Nebraska border, offering scenic and broad prairie vistas. There's also enough steady wind in places to attract developers.
And industry officials and watchers said technological improvements also have made wind power more attractive. Kansas' first wind farm, with 170 turbines in Gray County, operated by a Florida company, began operations in 2001.
right," said Joe Harkins, the governor's top natural resources adviser. "And preservation of a natural resource that has such great significance to the ecology and culture is right."
J. W. Prairie Windpower, the Lawrence subsidiary of a
German company, hopes to put 80 turbines in northern Morris County, with a generating capacity of 120 Megawatts, perhaps enough to supply 40,000 homes. It has leases with 30 landowners.
But Jennifer States, the company's managing director, said the project remains on hold because her company has yet to sign a contract with a utility to buy its potential power. States said one reason is Sebelius' cautious statements on developing wind farms in the Flint Hills.
Last month, Sebelius called for restraint in turbine development in a 3-million-acre area identified by top advisers as "The Heart of the Flint Hills." She wants developers and landowners to give counties a chance to put together guidelines for placing wind turbines.

Admission change requires caution
Kansas residents wishing to attend the University in the future may have a harder time getting admitted. Last week, the University announced that it was considering more selective admission rules than those currently used.
Out of state students currently must meet higher requirements for admission.
At this time, KU has the same admission requirements for in-state students as all of the Regents schools in Kansas. In order to be admitted, a student from Kansas must meet one of three requirements: rank in the top third of their high school graduating class, maintain a 2.0 GPA in high school, or score at least a 21 on the ACT.
The University's announcement did not disclose what exactly might change in admission requirements. It is likely that either the minimum test score might increase, or that students might have to meet more than one of the criteria.
Whatever the case, the administration must be cautious when increasing the standards for admission.
It is understandable to want to only admit students who have a reasonable chance of succeeding at the University. Most students at KU can probably think of numerous students who did not belong in their college courses.
Slightly increasing admission requirements is a good idea, as long as it is done carefully. With the current, relatively low admission requirements, many students from across Kansas come to KU seeking what many schools can provide—the opportunity to leave home. By increasing standards slightly, students who might not be ready for a full-blown university atmosphere would be encouraged to attend a
By increasing standards slightly, students who might not be ready for a full-blown university atmosphere would be encouraged to attend a community college or smaller school first.
community college or smaller school first.
However, the University is a public school. KU receives funding from the state, and should be responsible to admit any qualified Kansan to the school. If the standards are increased too high, this might not happen.
Take the Missouri school system for example. Truman State University—a publicly funded school—requires students to score a 27 on the ACT before admission. If this were the standard set at KU, admissions would decrease significantly. While Truman State is able to get away with such a high score requirement, a school as large as KU would not succeed with this requirement. Truman State is a small university serving mostly undergraduate students—making it a very focused university. On the other hand, KU is the largest school in the state and offers a wide variety of academic programs, making its appeal much broader.
In the end, the administration must make sure to not go too far with this measure. Increasing standards for admission could be beneficial to the University if done correctly and in moderation.

When injustices are visible, be proactive to fix situation
One of the most difficult things to do is stand up for what you believe is right. It might not seem so difficult at first, but in reality, having the courage to speak out and try to right the wrongs that you see is not easy. In a corporate or university setting, it is nice to think that due process and fairness are the rule. However, as with any human enterprise, this is not the case. Far too often people's personal motivations, perspectives, shortsightedness, prejudices, and other factors play a large role in how decisions are made, affecting all involved.
Austin Gilmore/ KANSAN
It is easy to see where objectiveness and fairness are lacking. Flippant comments and behaviors alluding to gender, race, religion, sexual preference, and anything meant to exclude a particular group are all too common.
COMMENTARY
This is inevitable however, and most people have gotten used to it over the years, be it in the university atmosphere, workplace, or classroom. This might seem disheartening, but you can fight these ingrained injustices.
There are several avenues already available. Students at this university have the opportunity to evaluate their teachers anonymously. This is one of the best opportunities students have to voice concerns, and should be taken seriously. Many employers allow a similar evaluations process. If this is not an option, or it might be too late by the time evaluations are distributed, then consider what else you can do.

The first step is to simply recognize that there is a problem that needs to be dealt with. That might seem obvious,
Decide how to approach the problem in a way that will not offend anyone else or cause other problems. It is often a good idea to confront the offensive person or group directly, to avoid too much confusion with middlemen, but sometimes the direct approach is too intimidating or ineffective. Find out who to talk to and where to go if things get out of hand.
Be rational, because irrational actions are rarely taken seriously when they come under examination. Find the best avenues for discussion. Try to find others who understand your problem, and might be facing the same problem. Unfortunately, one voice is not usually as effective as several voices together.
Organize the facts available, and document everything that you have seen and done. This provides a record
It is easy to overlook these "small" issues in lieu of more timely or important ones, but if people get in the habit of not speaking out when they see or hear wrong ideas or actions, then a problem is more likely to escalate into something more difficult to suppress.
This might all seem a bit too extreme for most cases of minor offenses that do not, in the long run, affect an entire classroom or office, but the sad fact of the matter is that without intervention and discussion, these offenses are allowed to continue indefinitely. Often the "offenders" do not even realize their behavior is making others uncomfortable. Making them aware of the problem might be enough to stop the actions from continuing.

Man decorates home with trash
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VICTORIA — Driving the streets of northwest Victoria, it's hard not to notice Don Weber's striking vard.
Weber's yard is filled with the sort of decorations often called "grassroots art." His kind of art is also called by other names — "homespun," "eccentric," "bizarre" "outside art" "primitive" and "kitsch" among them.
A Christmas display takes up much of the south part of Weber's yard. A Christmas tree with a tall metal candle underneath it stands on permanent display. So does a manger scene with Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus in a manger.
Weber's yard is decorated with treasures made from trash.
"There's a lot of people stop and look at these things," Weber said.
In other parts of Weber's yard, they see a tin man made from cans, statues, painted concrete cylinders, tubs, candelabras, power line insulators, pumpkins, gourds and numerous hanging pots of silk flowers.
Santa perches on the bright red chimney on the house's south roof. Two more Santas stand near the tree, one on a sled, the other in a covered wagon. Reindeer graze beside them.
Besides the hanging flower pots, flower pots of a different sort can be found on Weber's lawn. Three toilets — two white and one turquoise — stand along the west side of the property with silk flowers protruding from the bowls and tank.
Weber said the items he uses to make his yard displays come from auctions and garage sales.
small" impor- habit tree or ena intoess.
"Gotta do something to pass the time," Weber said. "I change it around every once in a while. Gives me something to do."
There's little else for Weber to do with his time. He's retired because of bad health and a
back injury. His bad health stems from years of hard drinking.
"I about took my life drinking. Came awfully close," Weber said.
For 10 years, Weber has been sober. He attends daily Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
"I if I didn't go there, I would be underground." Weber said.
He spent his early years working in the oil field.
"Before my mom died, she wanted me to get out of the oil field. Too many of them died." Weber said.
He went to work for a construction company. That's when he injured his back, bringing his working days to an end.
Four years ago he had two heart attacks. Now his doctors don't want him doing much of anything, he said. In the afternoon, he putters around in his yard, rearranging, adding to, taking away from and tweaking his displays.
Six cast iron skilllets hang from an old telephone wire spool. Guttering downspouts form a wavy pen around statues of owls, rabbits, geese, cats, squirrels, dogs, turtles, mice, chickens and ducks.
"I go to Hays in the morning and mess around in my yard in the afternoon. That's all I do," he said.
Antique hand tools are mounted on his garage wall. Parts of his yard are fenced with pieces of garage door. Wooden spindles that used to hold telephone wire are stacked into pyramids. Bird houses and bird feeders are mounted from them.
"I've got quite a few birds coming around," Weber said.
"I was 8 years old when we moved here. It was my folks' place, it I'm 64 now. I've been here all my life," Weber said.
Weber lives in the house his parents bought when they moved from Colorado.

which is legal in Kansas, was not a new problem.
He said the department's stance on scalping was too vague to take action this year, but officials have monitored tickets for sale on eBay and at ticket brokers such as Ace Tickets and Sports, 647 Massachusetts St.
Some eBay auctions are proving quite profitable for sellers. One auction for two tickets in row four, section 13 to the Jan. 29 game against Texas was at $300 yesterday afternoon, with eight days to go before the end of bidding.
An auction for two tickets to the Jan. 1 game against Georgia Tech in row one, seats one and two, was at $407 yesterday afternoon with three days left to bid.
"We'll probably even go as far as buying some seats just to try to find who is selling them," Marchiony said.
TICKET: Policy could punish ticket holders
More than 180 auctions for KU men's basketball tickets were listed on eBay yesterday.
Hal Wagner, owner of Ace
Tickets and Sports, said revoking ticket privileges for those caught reselling their seats would be insane and absolutely unfair. Wagner said he brought money to the school by selling tickets to people who, in turn, attended games and spent money on souvenirs and concessions.
"We provide a necessary service to people who can't afford to donate tens of thousands of dollars annually. If there is someone out there who wants their son or daughter to go to a game, why shouldn't they be able to buy a ticket from me?" he said.
Without a written policy for bidding it, faculty can't be punished for reselling their tickets this season, even though Marchiony said he thought they knew it was wrong.
Some people who sell tickets are season ticket holders who simply can't make it to one or two games, like Karuga.
The new policy would not differentiate between faculty, who get a 20-percent discount on tickets, and nonfaculty caught reselling their seats.
"We provide a necessary service to people who can't afford to donate tens of thousands of dollars annually. If there is someone out there who wants their son or daughter to go to a game, why shouldn't they be able to buy a ticket from me?"
Hal Wagner owner of Ace Tickets and Sports
Rather than scalping, ticket holders can donate their seats back to the Williams' Fund or let a friend go in their place if they can't attend a game, Marchiony said.
If season ticket holder is unhappy with seats assigned to them under the points system,
Marchiony said they should get a refund from the University, rather than reselling them. Refunded or donated tickets are redistributed to people on a waiting list for tickets.
"We don't want people selling their tickets, period," he said.
One scalper, who didn't want to be named, said a policy such as the one Marchiony hoped to enforce would definitely be bad for business.
Ticket scalpers outside Saturday's game against Pacific said they haven't seen a significant increase in ticket sellers or buyers so far this year, but that could change when the higher profile games take place after Christmas.
But Wagner isn't worried.
"People will still sell their tickets. It's not even an issue," he said.
The NCAA does not have regulations about ticket scalping during regular season games.
However, it does take into consideration whether a state has a scalping ban when choosing postseason tournament sites.

After working in the business sector, Engel said he was surprised at how similar the Kyou Portal was to the portals and models used by business professionals.
"You were lucky if someone had a microphone," Engel said of professors.
Engel returned to college after working for about 10 years. The technology at the University is much more advanced than in his college days, Engel said.
Student Senate offered suggestions and requests for overall technological issues on campus, Loats said.
Technology at the University has become more useful, said Kristan Seibel, Hays junior and student senator. Regarding the Kyou Portal, Seibel said she was particularly pleased with the ability for student employees to check their pay status online and for students to check their Beak 'em Bucks balance and history.
"It's advancing," Seibel said of University technology. "But there's still work to do."

PAIN: Trainers help athletes get the treatment they need to play
Kansan file photo

Sophomore outside hitter Jana Coraa plays during a home match this season. Cornea injured her left MCL early in the year, missing six matches. She returned to the court on Oct. 2 against Baylor University. She played in the final 16 matches of the season and in the NCAA volleyball tournament this past weekend.

"The athlete can play, but the coach may think that they can't play as good as someone else," Magee said.
Some injuries are so serious that a player must stop. Simien missed 22 games his sophomore season because of a separated right shoulder. Correa was out for nine months after injuring her ACL in October 2003.
It's hard to categorize injuries into those that can be played through and those that can't without a doctor's evaluation, he said.
"If an athlete comes to me and says he sprained his ankle, I will ask him some general questions," Magee said. "Can you run on it? Can you function without excessive amounts of pain?"
Other injuries are easier to play through. Ankle sprains and some back and knee problems are the most common ailments athletes play with, Magee said.
"But if he comes to me and says, 'My ankle is the size of a grapefruit,' I will tell him he needs to come in for an evaluation." Magee said.
If the athletes can do those things, Magee said they are fine to play.
Deciding on treatment is part of that evaluation. Magee said any treatment is specific to the injury. Swelling can be treated with an anti-inflammatory, like Cortisone, and if an injury is painful, trainers can treat pain with Tvlenol and Ibuprofen.
PLAYING HURT

"If we are using anything stronger than that, the athlete shouldn't be playing." Magee said.
The most common form of treatment is ice, he said.
Simien first strained his groin a few days before the Kansas versus Michigan State game on Nov. 25. After scoring 28 points against the Spartans, Simien reaggravated the injury in practice a couple days later.
The injury dogged Simien into the 2004 NCAA tournament in March. Kansas was playing against Illinois-Chicago and Simien slipped on a wet spot on the basketball court late in the first half of the game. He fell to the floor and laid there for several minutes.
He played in the following
games against Texas Christian and Stanford, but the effects of playing injured were noticeable. He combined for just 16 points in those two games. Ten points came from free throws. Simien did not play the next game against Fort Hays State, the only game of the season he missed.
He continued to play, not wanting to miss any more games after his shortened sophomore season.
"Playing hurt is something that every college athlete does," Simien said. "You play hard every night, so you know that
you are going to get banged up because it is a long season."
After being helped to the locker room, he returned to the game in the second half. Kansas beat the 13th seeded Illinois-Chicago team, and even with his injury, Simien led the team with 12 rebounds. Out of the 40 minutes of playing time, Simien played only 23 minutes.
Some athletes don't have the option to play hurt — they physically can't. It happened to Simien his sophomore year when he injured his shoulder, and it was Jana Correa's story her freshman season.
"That was the first time that I had agrabbaged it in awhile," Simien remembered. "It was a pretty big fasco, hitting the wet spot and everything."
Correa came to Kansas from Brazil to play volleyball for the Jayhawks. An outside hitter, she remembers the day she injured her right knee, tearing her ACL. It was Oct. 11, 2003. She was leading the team with 3.88 kills per game.
On the Saturday between the first and second round of the tournament, Simien told reporters his trainers woke him up every two hours to receive treatment for the muscle.
"I tried to play on it for a couple of weeks after I tore it, and it was hurting really bad." Correa said.
She had surgery to repair the ACL exactly one month after the injury occurred. Then, Corrare spent eight months recovering. She missed the rest of her freshman season and spring training.
"It was tourney time." Simien explained. "Being an upperclassman, you only have so many opportunities to play in the tournament and in big games like that."
Correa's eight-month recovery was what Magee called an intense rehabilitation process.
Fans and people in the college basketball world take for granted how difficult it was for Simien to continue playing, Kansas coach Bill Self said.
"People don't know how hurt he was last year," he said.
"Athletes have to learn how to work their muscles again and to gain control of their bodies,"
A NEW SEASON
"T he doctor said I couldn't
hurt myself any worse, and I was in a position where I could still play so I didn't think twice about it."
By July, Correa thought she was almost at 100 percent.
"I felt that I was slower, I still feel kind of slow when I try to go to the ball and try to dig balls," she said.
There was just one thing.
She went back to rehab and missed six matches.
"I thought 'Oh no, not again'," she said.
Doctors told Correa the year after surgery is the toughest time because athletes have to overcome both physical and mental setbacks of an injury.

INJURIES ON THE MIND
Magee said.
"The doctor said I couldn't hurt my any worse, and I was in a position where I could still play, so I didn't think twice about it." Langford said.
Keith Langford knows what recovering from surgery is like. He played with torn cartilage in his right knee for the last part of the 2003-04 season.
Correa saw this season as a time to put all of her injuries and previous struggles behind her. But after a couple of matches, she strained another ligament in her left knee.
He had surgery just two days after Kansas lost to Georgia Tech in the Elite Eight. He didn't pick up a basketball again until late July. Although Langford's physical health was 100 percent at the start of the season, he was still working to get his mind back into shape. Self said.
"Sometimes, when you have
surgery, even though structurally you're fine, every time you get a bump you're nervous about getting hurt." Self said.
Both Langford and Correa said mental rehabilitation is just as important as physical rehabilitation.
"I would say that half of it is mental," Langford said.
Because of the number and severity of her injuries, Correa said she spent a lot of time with a sports psychologist. "He said the injury makes you stronger."
"It feels good to be healthy," he said. "Knowing that I don't have to get a shot before the game and knowing that I can help my team, not worrying that I am going to hurt myself."
Simien said he can't worry about getting hurt because this season is now or never for him.
That was the past. Langford said he wanted to focus on the present.
"I played the last month and a half of the season handicapped mentally more than anything," Langford said.
"I am definitely not going to pump the brakes at all, worried about getting hurt," Simien said at the beginning of this season. "This is it for me. It is my last year. So there is really no need for me to hold back."
The biggest thing Correa had to deal with was accepting she wouldn't be able to play for such a long time.
At the end of this season, Correa went back on the volleyball court. She played in the last 16 matches and the NCAA tournament this past weekend.

Players carpool, sleep on floors to stay within budget
They don't have a chartered jet, individual DVD players, or cheese shaped like a Jayhawk, amenities the men's basketball players enjoy.
The Kansas men's ice hockey club members know they don't travel first class.
"It's total self-reliance and organization on our part," said Tyler McNally, Lake of the Ozarks, Mo., junior. "We play, we organize, we make the calls, we pay for it all. When you return from a tournament and you played well and you organized it and everything, it's more fulfilling than if it were just given to you on a silver platter."
"I've had five guys in my little Toyota Camry, three guys in the cab of a truck — it's horribly uncomfortable," McNally said. "We also have a minivan that usually goes, and that usually has seven or eight people. We
The team, composed of roughly 30 members, travels to out-of-state games about every other weekend. Team members usually carpool and split the cost of gas.

usually have about four vehicles going. We've never had a bus or any vans or anything."
"We were right outside of Chicago, and at one of the stops, one of the guys had gotten into the trailer and didn't
close the latch when they were done," McSorley said. "I don't know how long we were driving with the back of the trailer open, people would come up and point at it. We finally figured it out and turned around, went back 10 or 15 miles, and started seeing sticks and bags scattered all over the highway. I was the one that was chosen to run all over the highway picking up hockey sticks."
When there is money in the club's budget, the team will splurge on a hotel. Otherwise, they stay with family members in the area.
"We stay in hotels when we can afford it," said Tim Veach, Pittsburgh senior. "We have a lot of guys on the team from St. Louis, so we just stay with families, crash on the floor or whatever when we go there."
McNally said each team member shelled out between $50 and $75 for gas and food expenses every weekend. Team members also incur the cost of driving to a rink in Overland Park for practice two nights a week.
But they are always willing to help each other out, McNally said. He said he recalled a time last year when one

Early polls: Kansas has no reason to worry
Many of you were probably laughing when the Missouri basketball team dropped three in a row two weeks ago to the likes of Davidson, Creighton and Houston to start its season 2-3. You may have also had a good chuckle when the mighty North Carolina "family" was disappointed in its season opener when the Roy Williams-led Tar Heels were spanked by — yes, Santa Clara.
I did. It was great seeing teams I hate embarrassed in college basketball's opening weeks.
But after taking a moment to have a good laugh, forget these games. Make absolutely nothing of them.
Kansas coach Bill Self and senior guard Aaron Miles have been quoted all season saying how worthless polls are until January. They're right. How can the national coaches and media justify bumping Kansas from its No. 1 ranking without the Jayhawks losing a game? It shouldn't matter that Wake Forest's margin of victory against a clearly inferior George Washington team was larger than Kansas' margin over Vermont, an NCAA Tournament team from a year ago.
Yes, these are regular season games, and they do count toward their respective teams' final records, but they don't matter. They don't mean a thing.
They're about as meaningful as the polls right now, the ones that served the Jayhawks by stealing their No. 1 ranking, the ESPN/USA Today and Associated Press polls.
Then you may have noticed the first big game of the season when Wake Forest squared off against fifth-ranked Illinois to defend its No. 1 ranking last Wednesday. Wake was down all night, trailing by as many as 32 points at one point. The Fighting Illini controlled the
Senior guard evades spotlight
Mike Lee's extra effort solid game statistics garner little attention

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
One hour before practice, Mike Lee stands mostly alone in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Here, there are no coaches. No players to chat with. No fans to cheer him on.
The senior guard stands at the spot, the one just beyond the 3-point arc, with a trainer, his ball and the basket.
He begins to count
One, two, three.
He sets his feet and shoots another.
That's four. Then five, six and seven.
He gets to 13 before one bounces hard off the rim. Good thing he isn't counting anymore.
Lee said his routine of extra shooting before practice had only one rule.
"I don't count misses," he said. "Only makes."
Lee said he tried to make 100 threepoint shots during his extra shooting, and rides a stationary bike for some extra conditioning.
All this before practice even begins.
"I try to usually get here an hour early, get on the bike, build up a nice little sweat, and get up some shots so I can be loose for practice," Lee said.
This was apparent after the St. Joseph's game Nov. 23. Lee scored 13 points in 17 minutes, adding four assists and two steals off the bench. Self called him the best performer on the team in its 91-51 victory, but the media did not request to interview the senior guard after the game.
The fact that Lee does this all on his own fits his personality well, Kansas coach Bill Self said.
"I think Mike likes the role he has," Self said. "He's not a limelight guy at all."
"He'd rather let other guys get the spotlight," Self said. "He knows his role, and he's pretty content with what his role is right now."
Unfortunately for Lee, his performance did not impress everyone who watched him.
He said his father attended the game and gave him advice.
"He always thinks I should be doing a lot more," Lee said.

Chiefs end string of defeats
Larry Johnson gets his long-awaited play time, leads team to victory
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Maybe Larry Johnson was right all along.
The former Penn State star, who has publicly feuded with Kansas City coach Dick Vermeil over a lack of playing time, finally got a chance to make his point on the field, and make it he did.
Playing because of injuries to Priest Holmes and Derrick Blaylock, Johnson had 118 yards rushing and 56 yards receiving Sunday against Oakland. He scored two touchdowns and helped key a 34-27 victory with what was by far his best day as a pro.
The victory snapped a four-game losing skid that began the day Holmes, the Chiefs' Pro Bowl star, went out with a knee injury.
Taken in the first round in 2003, Johnson had seen almost no action all year and was obviously in his coach's doghouse.
Vermeil even apologized after
Johnson may figure big in the near future for the Chiefs no matter how well he and his coach get along. Holmes, who set an NFL record last season with 27 touchdowns, talked about retirement as recently as the past offseason.
remarking that it was time for Johnson to "take the diapers off." On another occasion, Johnson lashed out at Vermeil, saying that Vermeil never wanted to draft him in the first place.
Blaylock, who sprained his neck in the first half, will probably start Monday night at Tennessee. But the Titans can count on seeing plenty of the 6-foot-1. 230-pound Johnson.
"We were pleased to see him get really excited," Vermeil said. "He looked like a different guy. I think that's all coming with him growing up."
And Blaylock, who only now is getting an opportunity to produce on a steady basis, will be eligible for free agency after this season. In a breakout

game of his own, he ran for 186 yards against New Orleans and appears ready to assume a starting role for somebody. Could the Chicoffs afford to learn all
"We can do whatever we want to do unless somebody offers somebody so much money that you couldn't be competitive," Vermail said. "I know Derrick Blaylock likes it enough to be here, and wants to be here. I know that, and I think I feel free to save that."
"But someone might come in and all of a sudden pay him as a starting running back. I would say good luck and thank you for all you've done, you deserve the opportunity."
Holmes, who led the AFC with 892 yards rushing and led all nonkickers with 90 points scored when he was injured on Nov.7, continues to rehab his injured right knee. Vermeil said yesterday that he did not believe he was out for the year, even though only three games would be left after this week.
Cardinals hire new hitting coach
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Former major league manager Hal McRae was hired by the St. Louis Cardinals as hitting coach yesterday, joining a high-scoring team that slumped in the World Series.
McRae, 59, replaced Mitchell Page, who held the job for 3 1/2 seasons before he was let go in October to seek help at an alcohol-treatment site near his California home.
The Cardinals led the National League in hitting, at 278, and runs, 855, last season, a year after they finished second in both categories.
But St. Louis hit just .190 while getting swept by Boston in the World Series, and totaled only three runs in the final three games.
McRae got a two-year contract. The remainder of manager Tony La Russa's
coaching staff has agreed to two-year extensions.
McRae has been an assistant to the general manager of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays since being fired as manager in September 2002, one day after they finished 55-106 season and tied Detroit for the worst record in the majors.
The Cardinals also hired former big league manager Jim Riggleman as their minor league field coordinator. Riggleman, 52, was the bench coach in Los Angeles for the past four seasons.
guiding the team to a 286-277 mark and winning records in three of his four seasons.
He later spent six seasons as a hitting instructor for Cincinnati and Philadelphia before joining the Devil Rays' organization in November 2000 as a bench coach.
On April 18, 2001, McRae replaced Larry Rothschild as the Devil Rays' manager and guided them to a 58-90 record over the remainder of the season.
A rough-and-tumble player with Kansas City, McRae managed the Royals from May 1991 through 1994.
Mrae, who spent most of his playing days with the Royals, appeared in four World Series.
In a 19-season playing career with the Royals and Reds, McRae hit .290 with 2,091 hits, 191 home runs and 1.097 RBIs.
Riggleman formerly managed the San Diego Padres and Chicago Cubs. He played in St. Louis' minor league system and was a coach in the majors with the Cardinals.
Riggleman will replace Bob Humphreys, who is retiring.

Big 12 football wrap-up: North dives, South thrives
BY JONATHAN KEALING AND RYAN COLAIAanni sports@kansan.com KANSAN SPORTSWITTERS
With Saturday's Big 12 Championship completed, the 2004 conference football season has come to an end.
For the North Division, this season was full of disappointments and unfulfilled expectations. The South Division, on the other hand, had five teams excel and qualify for trips to bowl games. The division placed two teams in the Bowl Championship Series as well.
Texas' Sports Information Director, John Bianco, pleaded his team's case for a BCS bid during the last two weeks. He played up the South and derogated the weak North.
"We played in the hardest conference in America: the Big 12 South." he said.
Overall, the Big 12 had a successful season, with seven teams going to bowl games.
NORTH
Colorado (7-4) — EV1.net Houston Bowl
Colorado overcame its off-season recruiting scandals to win the Big 12 North. Despite a 45-3 loss to Oklahoma in the conference championship game Saturday, the Buffaloo's season was still a success.
Coaches projected Colorado to finish fourth in the six-team North division, but the team used key victories down the stretch, including a victory at Nebraska in the final game of the season, to clinch the title. Colorado will face Texas-El Paso in the EV1.net Houston Bowl on Dec. 29.
It is Colorado's 24th bowl appearance and the first since 2002. Coach Gary Barnett received coach of the year honors from The Associated Press. Running back Bobby Purify ran for more than 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns this season.
iowa State (6-5) — Independence Bowl
It was a magical season for the Cyclones, as they nearly earned the right to represent the North division in the Big 12 Championship game despite posting a 2-4 record at one point. Iowa State responded to its sluggish start by winning four straight, but a defeat against Missouri in overtime of the last game of the regular season prevented the Cyclones from making it to the conference title game in Kansas City, Mo. Iowa State, which finished 6-5, must settle for the Independence Bowl, where it will face Miami of Ohio on Dec. 28. It is the Cyclones' fourth bowl appearance in the last five years. Freshman quarterback Bret Meyer, who passed for nearly 2,000 yards and 10 touchdowns, leads the Cyclones' attack. Coach Dan McCarney was named coach of the year by Big 12 coaches.
This season may go down as the worst in the history of Nebraska football, with the
Sophomore quarterback Joe Dailey was unable to be the efficient quarterback that the system needed. Dailey completed less than 50 percent of his passes and threw 19 interceptions. The Husker defense also was not as good as in previous years, allowing more than 27 points per game. Nevertheless, with three games remaining in the season, the Cornhuskers were 5-3 and needed just one more victory to become bowl eligible. But Nebraska lost all those games.
Last season the Cornhuskers won 10 games, yet fired coach Frank Solich.
Kansas State (4-7)
In a year that began with the hype of a Heisman candidate and a National Championship, the Wildcats finished in disappointing fashion with a 4-7 record. Last season, Kansas State took the Big 12 Conference crown on the shoulders of running back Darren Sproles. This season, with Sproles returning, the team was expected to thrive again.
But the Wildcats did not even

his junior campaign when he ran for just under 2,000 yards and averaged a more than 6.5 yards per carry. Sproles hurt his team with fumbles on punt returns. Missouri (5-6)
Like so many teams in the Big 12 North, the Missouri Tigers had high expectations for the season. They expected junior quarterback Brad Smith to lead them with his arm as well as his legs. But after starting the season 4-1, Missouri lost five straight games to end any bowl hopes.
Smith was the team's second-leading rusher with 553 yards, but he was not nearly as productive on the ground this year as he was in 2003 when he rushed for 1,406 yards. Smith has started every game since his freshman season, but this year was by far his least productive running the football, and he was unable to lead the Tigers to back-to-back bowl appearances.
training to go to a bowl game for the first time in 34 years. In a year that saw new coach Bill Callahan try to implement his West Coast offense, the new-look Nebraska won just five games.
But the wildcats did not even qualify for postseason play, ending coach Bill Snyder's streak of 11 straight bowl appearances.
Sproles ran for 1,380 yards this season, a good year, but it was paltry compared to the Championship, but cries of foul were loud and frequent. This season, Oklahoma got it right, stomping Colorado and guaranting itself a trip to Miami to face Southern California.
Oklahoma has two Heisman

Adrian Peterson
The Sooners need an Orange Bowl victory for their second championship in the last five years.
Trophy hopefuls, freshman running back Adrian Peterson and senior quarterback Jason White, last year's winner. Peterson set several single-season freshman rushing records and is second in yards per game in the conference with 153.6.
White passed for 35 touchdowns this season while throwing just six interceptions. He also passed for an average of 246.8 yards per game.
Texas (10-1) — Rose Bowl presented bv Citi
Most Kansas fans will remember the time Texas almost laid an egg against the fifth-in-the-Big 12-North and 10th-overall lavwhacks on Nov. 13.
The BCS system forgot that fact, as did several of the voters in the wire polls. While Texas is still ranked behind California in both The Associated Press and the ESPN/USA Today Coaches' Polls, Texas made up enough ground that it was propelled to No. 4 in the BCS rankings and a slot in a BCS Bowl.
Texas A&M (7-4) — SBC Cotton Bowl
Texas A&M stumbled out of the gate, found its legs and was gearing up for a showdown with Oklahoma on Nov. 6.
A defeat against Oklahoma the following weekend sealed the Aggies' fate. The team managed to pull together and win its next game, but a visit to Texas turned into an "L" as well.
But a little team from a private Baptist school in Waco, Texas, got in the way on Oct. 30, Baylor knocked off one of the hottest teams in the South and guaranteed that A&M was out of the conference title hunt.
Still, A&M completed a fairly remarkable turnaround. Last year the team finished 4-8, including a 2-6 record in the Big 12. This year, the team went 5-3 in the conference.
Texas Tech (7-4) — Pacific Life Holiday Bowl
Another team from the South that rolled through the North.
Tech handed Nebraska the worst defeat of its history and continues to have the most explosive passing offense in the Big 12.
Just like Texas, though, a lategame rally was the only thing that kept Kansas from defeating Tech. Tech lost three games to South opponents and one to out-of-conference New Mexico.
While Tech's coach, Mike Leech, is a rumored candidate for several job openings, the Red Raiders will have one of the nation's best offenses as long as he's in Lubbock, Texas.
Oklahoma State (7-4) — Master Card Alarm Bank
Oklahoma State (7-4) — Master Card
Alamo Bowl
During the last few years, Oklahoma State has proven to be one of the few teams that can hang with Oklahoma.
Last season, the Cowboys were the Big 12's entrant to the Cotton Bowl. While the Alamo Bowl is a small step down, it should give them an opportunity to improve on their record. They finished 9-4 last season.
Baylor (3.8)
This year, the Cowboys could not quite manage to defeat the Sooners, losing 38-35. They also lost to Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech
Try as they might, the Bears just can't move out of the Big 12 cellar.
In fact, Baylor was the only team in its division to lose to teams from the Big 12 North. Baylor lost to Iowa State, Colorado and Missouri.
If Iowa State had not lost to Baylor, the team would not have become bowl eligible.
The Bears best moment in the season came when they defeated Texas A&M. Baylor's other two victories were against weak, non-conference opponents.
For Baylor, next year cannot come quickly enough.

You next semester
Today's Birthday (Dec. 7).
Friends have lots of fancy schemes for making everything better. Make sure they don't talk you into depleting reserves you've saved for the future.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 9.
Jealousies can develop at the most awkward moments. Just because somebody else has a lot doesn't mean you get less. Ask how they did it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today in a 5
Today is a 9.
Others admire your eye for color, and often ask your advice. Even if you can't explain it, they'll learn by watching you at work.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 9
Todav is a 5.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 5
Frustrations are not a bad thing, since they lead to action you've been postponing, resisting or
HOROSCOPES
ignoring. Go ahead and take care of the problem, once and for all.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is an 8.
It would be easy to get distracted, and forget to do what you said. That's relatively common, but could be rather embarrassing. Better make notes.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 5.
While you're going through your money, don't forget to send some to a group who will spend it well. They'll appreciate anything you can give them, even if you don't think it's enough.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Todav is an 8.
If you clash with an authority figure, quickly apologize. You can afford to be generous in your graciousness. And, if you do, the other will be more generous with their money.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Tuesday in a F
Travel's not recommended now, finish up old business first. And, if you're mailing anything, make
sure it's all packed in the box before you send it out.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is an 8.
There's a possible drain on your resources now, due to extensive partying. Don't spend all your money this early in the season, or you'll hate yourself later.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 5.
A person who has way more than enough stuff is in a generous mood. Don't take promises as payment, however. Get cold hard contracts and cash.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 9.
You're sorely tempted to skip out on your responsibilities. A carefree day of fun and frolic beckons, but take care. If you lose your job, you won't have any way to pay for it.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 6.
Don't be overly generous, even if you can come up with lots of good reasons. You don't want to make people feel bad for having spent less.

Women's basketball AP poll knocked around by upsets
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LSU is unanimous, Louisiana Tech is out.
teen is out. Look no farther than the Bayou State for the major developments in the AP women's basketball poll.
LSU held the No.1 spot yesterday for the second straight week and this time, the Lady Tigers received all 45 first-place votes from a national media panel.
A slew of upsets triggered a major shuffling in the rest of the Top 25, which for the first time in nearly 23 years did not include Louisiana Tech.
Louisiana Tech, 3-2, which had been 21st, lost two of its three games during the week and ended a string of 221 consecutive appearances in the poll.
The last time the Lady Techsters were not ranked was the end of the 1991-1992 season.
Tennessee leads with 544 consecutive poll appearances.
Villanova, 24th last week, also dropped out. Houston joined the poll for the first time this sea
son at No. 22 and Arizona returned at 24th after a one-week absence.
LSU, 8-0, beat North Texas 77-51 in its only game last week, but eight others in the Top 25 lost to unranked opponents.
Notre Dame and Tennessee also lost, clearing the way for Stanford to jump from fifth to second.
LSU and Stanford are the only teams in the top 10 that are still unbeaten.
Duke, 7-1, jumped, seven spots to third after winning at Tennessee and Texas, 4-2, climbed three places to fourth. then it was North Carolina, Baylor and Notre Dame, followed by Connecticut, Tennessee and Ohio State.
Baylor won three times during the week and moved up three spots. Notre Dame dropped four places after losing at home to Michigan State, which went from 15th to 12th. Georgia tumbled from sixth to 11th after losing to Georgia Tech.
Texas Tech was 15th,
Vanderbilt 14th and DePaul
15th, followed by Minnesota Boston College, UCLA Maryland and Rutgers.
The final five were Purdue, Houston, TCU, Arizona and Kansas State.
Purdue took the most severe drop, falling seven places after losing to Houston and UCLA. Kansas State, playing without preseason All-American Kendra Wecker, lost to Liberty by 21 and dropped five spots.
UCLA matched Duke for the biggest jump, moving from 25th 18th.
Houston, 8-0, has kept winning despite the departure of guard Chandi Jones, the career scoring leader in Conference USA.
The Cougars won at Purdue 63-60 on Nov. 30. They've won the rest of their games by at least 17.
Arizona, 6-1, returned to the Top 25 after victories over UTEP and UNC-Greensboro.
Villanova, which had been ranked for two weeks, split its two latest games, losing to George Washington and beating Penn.

game, finishing with a 91-73 victory. That impressive victory over the then-top-ranked Demon Deacons vaulted Illinois past not one, but three teams en route to the No. 1 ranking. Illinois also passed fourth-ranked Syracuse and third-ranked Georgia Tech. It should be noted that the three teams Illinois passed remain undefeated.
Kansas' wins over Nevada and Pacific last week weren't substantial enough to make the lavhawks number one.
situation is that if Illinois and Wake Forest had played a close game last week with Illinois winning at the end or by fewer points, it would not have jumped so high in the rankings. Everyone else would have moved up a spot, putting Kansas at the top.
Early season basketball is what it is, the beginning of the season. Most teams use the first month of the season, before conference play begins, to make sure everyone, especially the newcomers, know their roles are within a system. Early season games are just a tune-up for grueling conference play and
the NCAA Tournament.
The irony behind the whole
For those of you who watch the polls, don't be upset by the shaming the Jayhawks have endured by the national media and coaches in the polls during the last two weeks. It really doesn't matter. We can just enjoy the misfortunes of Missouri, because it's hard to imagine the Tigers ever being ranked this year. Besides, true Kansas fans know where the Jayhawks will be come March. Who needs polls anyway?

Three Kansas players are among 30 finalists for the fourth annual Bayer Advantage Senior CLASS Award.
The award is presented yearly to the nation's senior player of the year for NCAA Division 1 men's and women's basketball.
The award committee nominated guards Aaron Miles, Keith Langford and forward Wayne Simien for the award. Kansas was one of four teams with multiple players on the list and the only team with three players represented.
The National Media Committee will choose 10 finalists next February. In March, votes from fans, coaches and media will determine the male and female winners.

"The award is designed to return the prestige and dignity of being a senior college basketball player," Enberg said. "It's not intended to say that leaving early for pro basketball is wrong, rather to celebrate those

The Jayhaws remained No. 2 in the latest Associated Press basketball poll, despite former No. 1 Wake Forest's loss to Illinois last week.
The Jayhawks gained 23 first-place votes and 1,700 points this week. The Illini garnered 25 first-place votes and 1,717 points.
Kansas briefly held the No. 1 spot at the beginning of the season, but fell to No.2 in the polls after a close victory against Vermont in its first game.

Fall crimes beget court cases
Several men accused of crimes this semester face approaching court dates and sentencing
BY ANAMDA O'TOLE
aotole@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
It's been a while since crime headlines have stretched across pages of The University Daily Kansan, but alleged criminals are still in the news.
Court cases stemming from past events in Douglas and Johnson counties are ongoing.
The following is a compilation of continuing court cases involving persons from the University of Kansas.
Reported rapes: Three rapes have been reported on campus this semester, said Maj. Chris Keary, assistant chief of the University of Kansas Public Safety Office. They appear below in chronological order.
Sept. 23: An 18-year-old female KU student told the public safety office that the rape occurred between 9 p.m.
Sept. 22 and 6:30 a.m. Sept 23 in McCollum Hall, Capt. Schuyler Bailey said.
She told officers that a man raped her in a room in the residence hall after
they attended a gathering.
Alcohol was listed as a contributing factor.
The suspect is a 20-year-old male KU student.

Keary said he could not release which tower the rape reportedly happened in.
the male held her arms down and forced intercourse after she repeatedly said "no."
The report listed alcohol as a contributing factor.
The office sent the case to the Douglas County District Attorney's office for further consideration.
Nov. 9: A 16-year-old woman reported to the KU Public Safety Office that an 18-year-old man raped her in a room in Ellsworth Hall.
Both the man and the woman were guests of hall residents.
The report listed alcohol as a contributing factor.
The case is still being investigated. Keary said the office was waiting on the results of lab tests from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation before it could send the case to the Douglas County District Attorney's office for further consideration.

Expansion funds to go to Legislature
By Ross Fitch
fitch@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
More basketball courts and an expansion of free weights could be available to students by 2006.
Last month, the Kansas Board of Regents approved a proposal for an expansion of the Student Fitness Recreation Center. The expansion includes four more basketball courts, four racquetball courts, at least a 2,000 square-foot addition to the freeweights area and an extension of the track, said Mary Chappell, director of KU Recreation Services.
After the Regents approve a proposal, it must pass through Legislature before anything can be done. The proposal will be presented during the next legislative session in January, Chappell said, but it won't go to vote until late April or early May 2005.
Chappell said she thought
Legislature would approve the proposal because it did not include additional fees for students.
The proposal would only authorize the money to be used for the projects, Bryan Young, Houston senior and chairman of the Student Senate Recreation Advisory Board, said. But the specific uses of the funds will be decided if Legislature approves the proposal.
The proposal would ask for about $6.3 million, Chappell said. The money will come from an agreement between Andy Knopp, last year's student body president, and University of Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins. The Athletics Department agreed to provide funding for the recreation center's expansion and renovations in exchange for about 1,500 fewer student seats in Allen Fieldhouse.

Last dance of semester
African art students masquerade for grade
BY NIKOLA ROWE
nrowe@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER

Ginny Weatherman/KANSAN
A group of African art students were given a choice of how to end the semester: write a research paper or perform a masquerade.
Ten students from Gitti Salamis Introduction to African Art class worked together from the start of the semester to put together a masquerade performance from what they learned about African art and culture. The group of African art students finished their semester final projects by dressing up in fabrics of many colors, singing, dancing and evoking power from the spirit world.
It all came together at 9:30 yesterday morning in the tunnel between the Kansas Union and the Spencer Museum of Art.
Salami, assistant professor of art history and African-American studies, found the tunnel when she first interviewed at the University of Kansas.
Curtis McCoy, Des Moines, Iowa, senior, beats his drum in a costume covered in dry leaves, representing a native African doctor yesterday morning in a tunnel below the Kansas Union. McCoy participated in a masquerade as part of his final project grade for Gitti Salami's Introduction to African Art class.
"I was taken through the tunnel and I knew it would be a great place for a performance," Salami said.
In the middle of the tunnel, paper wrapped around five brick pillars. Behind the paper was a mysterious being that represented female energy, which was played by Monica Gundelfinger, Prairie Village sophomore, and Adriane Verhoeven, Kansas City, Mo., junior. They tried to coax out the spirit of health by dancing, singing and getting the audience involved with the noise-making.
"It was exhilarating," Gundelfinger said. "You could feel the energy from the audience."
What the professor liked best about the performance was that the group members were able to convey the difference between a masquerade and a theatrical or dance performance, she said. Masquerading is a genre of art that doesn't really exist anywhere else except in Africa, she said. The assignment was not just to perform an African masquerade, but also to study the art and create a unique performance. Salami felt that the group was successful in creating a masquerade that related to the students' struggles.
"It was beyond my expectations," Salami said.
Students, staff and community members filled the tunnel. Some jangled their car keys and joined the spirits in evoking the health spirit out of hiding. Verhoeven said she didn't just do this for the class, that she wanted to do it.
A masquerade shows that the tangible world and the spirit world are connected, Mocha Jackson, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., said. Jackson took Salami's class to learn more about African art but now knows more about African culture as well.
The next portion of the masquerade included a muse spirit struggling with the spirits of weariness and time. The students thought that these were two things that kept creativity from happening. Salami said.
"You can't talk about the art without talking about the culture," Jackson said.
Mark Olson, curator in the art history department, said he attended
because he received an e-mail from Salami and thought the project sounded interesting.
"It was a great idea for no other reason than the acoustics in here are great." Olson said.
His wife, Stephanie, home schools and brought their 5-year old daughter, Annie, and Calred Holond, 5, to see the performance.
The girls clapped and danced along with the performers and enjoyed picking up the parts of the costumes that were left behind.
"I thought it would be cool for the kids to see," Stephanie Olson said.

Whooping cough cases on the rise in Kansas, especially among children
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — State health officials said yesterday that cases of whooping cough are up sharply this year, especially in children over the age of 8.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment said there were 90 confirmed cases and 58 possible cases in Kansas. That compares to 23 cases in 2003 and 38 cases in 2002.
Spokeswoman Sharon Watson said there was no real explanation for the increase. There is a vaccine for the highly contagious illness, but the effectiveness starts to wane after children reach age 8. Infants have the greatest risk of the illness, but it can be prevented by immunization before a child's first
birthday.
Watson said some cases were among children who didn't receive all the series of vaccinations for whooping cough, while others received no vaccination at all. Vaccinations are recommended when children are 2 months, 4 months, 6 months and 1 year old, with a booster before the start of kindergarten.
"Some may have not received the vaccination at the right time. It depends on the individual." Watson said.
Whooping cough gets its name from the sound people make when they try to inhale after a severe coughing attack.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2004
The outbreak is particularly severe in Kingman County, where 39 cases have been reported since Nov. 23.
Health director Cindy ChristmanSmith said the age of patients ranges from 3 to 50. She said health officials still were trying to determine why the outbreak occurred.
"One reason is more awareness on the part of health-care providers. Many times they saw people with coughs and didn't test for it and treat it," Christman-Smith said.
She said some local schools canceled extracurricular activities to reduce the risk of spreading the illness. The number of cases has dropped off in recent days.
Health officials in Missouri, Nebraska and North Dakota also have reported increased cases of whooping cough this year, Watson said.

Queers and Allies jumps on the calendar bandwagon
The University of Kansas Queers and Allies want to take what is popular about being queer and turn it into a promotion for equal rights. In January, the group will start shooting for the "Queer Guys for Your Eyes" calendar. The calendar is scheduled to come out in Fall 2005 and will feature traditional pictures that match the seasons.
"We're going for a variety of looks, too. This isn't just middle-class white sexy." Jimmie Manning, Queens and Allies treasurer, said. "We are trying to show that there is more to the 'hot gay guy' than what you're seeing on television."
The group has 10 models for the calendar so far.
it is an interesting time for queer
Manning said he hoped the calenda would take the popular fascination with queer culture and convert it into funds that would help promote equal rights.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. - The federal fraud trial for two former Westar
Former Westar executives close to hearing final verdict
Energy Inc. executives is now in the hands of the jury.
Jurors received the case late Tuesday afternoon after both sides presented closing arguments, and will begin deliberations Wednesday morning.
Former Westar chief executive David Wittig and former executive vice president Douglas Lake are charged with trying to loot the largest electric utility in Kansas. They face 40 counts each and at least 10 years in prison, if convicted.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Hathaway used his closing statement to walk the six-man, six-woman jury through the voluminous amount of documents and testimony provided since the case began seven weeks ago.
Hathaway argued that Wittig and Lake ignored their obligation to company shareholders by manipulating company directors and loopholes in
company policy to reap millions of dollars in cash and added benefits.
"There was no negligence, there was no mistakes, there was no one else's responsibility." he said. "These men engaged in conduct that was criminal in nature."
Defense attorneys claimed their clients had done nothing wrong, and that all of their actions had been approved by board members and disclosed to the investment public.
They also continued their arguments that their clients were being made scapegoats for the utility's problems, and that Westar trumped up the case to gain leverage in its ongoing dispute with the two men over deferred compensation.
"This is not the way for people without the responsibility for running a company to second-guess the people who did," said Wittig's attorney, Paula Junghans.

Teaching experience benefits city commissioner
BY STEPHANE FARLEY

KANSAN STATE WINTER
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Sue Hack was in one stall. Another woman sat in the stall next to hers. The woman had followed her into the bathroom and was ready to talk about city issues.
The woman struck up a conversation.
it was the strangest place someone has ever approached Hack about anything concerning Lawrence, she said.
2000
Sue Hack has been making herself accessible to the citizens of Lawrence officially as a city commissioner since 2001. Hack also served as mayor from April 2002 until April 2003.
Hack thought she wanted to be an elementary school teacher when she came to the University of Kansas as a freshman in 1965. After taking a
She has taught in the Lawrence school system even longer.
couple of classes, she decided elementary education wasn't for her, she said.
She received her degree in education in 1970 and has been teaching junior high school students ever since.
One of Hack's favorite childhood memories is traveling with her family, she said. She said she and her siblings intentionally aggravated one another in the car, as children often do.

"I don't know why my parents didn't dump us out on the side of the road." she said.
Hack said she was never in one place long enough to establish long-term friendships during her childhood.
"That's why Lawrence has been such a wonderful spot for me, because I've lived here longer than I've lived anywhere else," Hack said. "And the friendships I have here date back to college time."
Sue Hack at her home yesterday morning
Hack moved to Lawrence in July of 1971 to start teaching at
South Junior High School, 2734 Louisiana St. She has taught at all four junior high schools in Lawrence.
Aside from teaching English, she has also taught American history and government to students. Politics had always been
in the back of Hack's mind, she said.
"I remember studying the Constitution when i was in the seventh grade and thinking, 'I think I need to live in Washington, D.C.,' she said.
Sam Campbell, Lawrence resident, said he had known Hack since the late '60s when they met at the University. She has other's best interests at heart with whatever she does, he said.
"I think she's probably the most balanced commissioner we have." Campbell said.
Hack said she wanted to help businesses and people solve their conflicts by talking about
and she felt that wasn't hap-
When Hack first became a commissioner, she was a fulltime teacher. She taught part-time for the first year she was on the commission, but she didn't have enough time to continue teaching when she became mayor, she said, so she retired.
"If I could have done both, I would have," she said. "I don't know how people with full-time jobs do this job and do it well."
Despite the time commitment, Hack is the only commissioner who has announced she would
try for re-election in April 2005. Commissioner David Dunfield has said he would not run again, and Commissioner David Sclauner has not officially announced whether he would try for re-election. The terms of other two city commissioners, Mike Rundle and Dennis Highberger, will not expire until 2006.
Hack said teaching adolescents helped her develop some of the patience she needed to serve on the commission.
"You have to have a fairly thick skin," said Hack, the only commissioner to vote against the smoking ban last May. "People aren't always going to like what you do."
She said she threw up before the first couple of commission meetings she attended, but the problem got better.
Film industry joins fight against students' illegal file sharing

If it were not for the threat of lawsuits, Alex Melin would probably still be downloading movies.
But an e-mail that the Garden City junior received in 2002, during his second semester at the University of Kansas, halted his downloading activities.
KU Information Services notified him that he had been targeted by the Motion Picture Association of America. Individuals affiliated with the MPAA had nabbed his Internet protocol address as one that was illegally offering a movie up for download, he said.
In the e-mail, Melin was told to delete a copy of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which he
downloaded over the Kazaa peer-to-peer file-sharing network. If he had chosen to ignore the e-mail, he could have been sued.
Melin complied.
Last month, the MPAA and its international affiliate, the Motion Picture Association, began filing lawsuits against individuals who let others download copyrighted movies through file-sharing systems.
Fines can range from $30,000 to $150,000 per download, with the higher penalties for willful violations, according to U.S. copyright law.
Settlements in music-downloading suits have been for about $3,000 per person.
ResNet only intervenes in students' illegal download when an industry notifies it, like in Melin's case. said Allison Rose Lopez, public relations and marketing manager for KU Information Services.
Association of America sued two KU students earlier this year for downloading music, but no students have come forward so far saying they have been subpoenaed by the MPAA for downloading movies.
First, a student receives an email, which tells he or she to delete the offending material and take an online quiz on copyright and Internet laws.
until the individual files are deleted and another quiz is completed. Students must get perfect scores before their access is restored.
A three-step process is initi ed after ResNet has been notified.
The offender's port is shut off if the files are not deleted. Access won't be granted again
The RIAA, and now the MPAA, have switched to what are known as "John Doe" lawsuits. A John Doe suit is a lawsuit against an IP address. A subpoena is then issued to the address issuing Internet service provider, forcing it to release the user's name and contact information.
Lopez said a student would lose all access if he chose to download again.
The MPAA identifies violators with a process that was first used and legally tested by the RIAA in its effort to stem the illegal downloading of music.
Members of the MPAA have contracted with an undisclosed company to identify violators.
The company first connects to a peer-to-peer network, such as Kazaa, and searches for a particular movie title. It then obtains the IP address of whoever is offering the file for download and acquires a complete copy, according to an MPAA release.
Charter Communications, a cable and Internet provider in St. Louis, was recently subpoenaed by the MPAA.
The subpoena requested the names of 18 customers who the association said had violated copyright laws, Larry Christopher, vice president and senior counsel for litigation, said.
The industry files suit once this is accomplished.
Charter has taken an aggressive stance of its own in fighting previous subpoenaes. In the first lawsuits filed by the Recording
Industry Association of America, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act was used in the RIAA's attempt to acquire the offenders' names. Charter and other companies filed lawsuits that attempted to block abuse of the DMCA. Christopher said.
But Frank Wiles, Sunflower Broadband's information technology manager, said that more lawsuits were inevitable.
Melin disagrees with the MPAA's actions even though his downloading is in the past. He said illegal downloading was a victimless crime that had received too much attention.
"There's not a single person the MPAA could go to and say 'the reason this person was fired is because you downloaded a movie,'" he said.

Fans take pride: We're not Mizzou
Complain all you want about how Kansas athletics director Lew Perkins has handled the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation and raised millions of dollars for the University since he arrived in Lawrence in 2003.
He may have kicked long-time basketball supporters, including Phog Allen's grandson, out of their seats in Allen Fieldhouse, but he was only trying to raise more money.
Perkins had to force them to donate more money to increase one of the smallest athletic department pocketbooks in the Big 12 Conference. After all, we don't have supporters like the Walton family of Columbia, Mo.
Then again, that's probably a positive thing.
Though the Walton family has donated millions of dollars to the University of Missouri, the wealthy family has also increased the university's national humiliation.
Bill and Nancy Laurie, the latter a Walton descendant, paid for a third of the university's new $75 million basketball arena, which replaced the 35-year-old Hearnes Center.
The Missouri athletics department relied so heavily on this donation that it gave the Laurie family naming rights to the new building.
The family decided not to name the building after long-time coach Norm Stewart, but rather after their 22-year-old daughter, Paige, who never attended the university.
Now Paige Laurie stands accused of paying a peer to do her schoolwork at the University of Southern California.
Perkins may want to construct a football training facility that would block the Campanile view and ruin the graduation walk down the hill, but at least he hasn't nationally humiliated the University.
Another part of Perkins' goals also is treating each sport as an equal part of the University.
The University of Missouri system president, Elson Floyd, told the Columbia Daily Tribune that placing the school's nickname, Mizzou, on the arena was an appropriate

move because the university typically refers to its athletic programs by the nickname.
And because Mizzou is synonymous with Missouri sports, the name "Mizzou Sports Arena" is redundant and makes the university look stupid. Missouri wouldn't want to look any dumber after naming the building after a rich daddy's girl who couldn't graduate on her own.
If the men's basketball program continues to lose to no-name teams, look for the university to change Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium to Mizzou Field at Mizzou Stadium. Without these changes, people could assume that the failing basketball team best represents all sports at the university.
Missouri has put the embarrassing moments behind itself. Could things really get worse for Missouri athletics? Absolutely.
Mizzou women's soccer is on a three-game losing streak to sixth year coach Mark Francis. Mizzou football is on a two-game losing streak to thirdyear coach Mark Mangino.
Mizzou men's basketball is on a three-game losing streak — all of which occurred last season -- to second-year Kansas basketball coach Bill Self. The NCAA also banned Missouri coach Quinn Snyder from off-campus recruiting for recruiting violations.
Zero Big 12 championships. Zero Final Four appearances. Three years probation. One Mizzou Arena. That's what represents the University of Missouri athletics.
Well, at least the men's basketball team.

Smoking ban opposition ignoring health, progression
Those folks who continue to oppose Lawrence's smoking ban are sounding more and more like the smoking lobby itself for every day that the city won't allow them to light up at everyone else's expense.
If they're not flat-out denying that smoking has any health-related effects, that realization won't be too far off.
At least for now, they're ignoring the fact the tobacco, and the second-hand smoke it produces, is a significant health risk. Instead, they're taking the hard line stance that free enterprise should override the public's health.
After all, why should 3,000 deaths a year from lung cancer because of second-hand smoke really matter? It's chunk change when you compare it to the 35,000 deaths from heart disease attributed to the nicotine-polluted air.
The opponents could go a step further and just imply that the 3 million deaths from smoking every year are insignificant. Left ignored a little while longer, that figure will likely expand to 10 million a year, according to the Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission.
That's even more than the Holocaust of WWII. I don't equate defenders of smoking to Nazi sympathizers, but their rhetoric of saving the economy through improving businesses and free enterprise is barely less ridiculous than fascism.
STEVE SPEAKS
But it is just idiotic to tug at the public's heartstrings by claiming that we need smoking to keep businesses running.
Smoking defenders predicted the downfall of the airline industry when it was forced to get rid of on-board smoking in 1995. Other non-U.S. carriers voluntarily complied soon thereafter to be considerate of their customers. Almost 10 years later, any problems that the airlines are having has far less to do with the smoking ban than other factors.
STEVE VOCKRODT
opinion@kansan.com
And maybe the smoking defenders in Lawrence aren't nearsighted enough to see past simply the city's economy, but smoking takes a major toll on the world and national economy.
The World Bank said that health care costs to treat those afflicted by smoking cost the global economy $200 billion dollars per year.
The Centers for Disease Control said that the United States claimed $75 billion of that share in direct health costs, not to mention $82 billion sacrificed in lost productivity. That means employees are too sick from tobacco-related illnesses to show up to work, or that they are dead from it.
Even further, there are several examples of cities that have banned smoking, but continue to thrive. New York City has done well in this respect.
But even pretending that Lawrence might be the exception, why should it even matter that a few burgers go unsold, or a prime rib go uneaten, espe-
canyne considering the detriments that smoking causes?
The smoking lobby has done a poor job of convincing the public that tobacco taxes produce any meaningful revenue that outweighs the economic and social nightmare it creates. It's depressing to consider the smoking industry in contrast to other carcinogenic industries that were forced out the door.
If only the asbestos and saccharin lobbyists put their money in the right places — for instance, in the pockets of politicians — like the tobacco industry has, we'd be stuck with triple the cancer-causing contributors.
True, patrons may find a few less places in Lawrence to buy a beer and fries, but it won't take further than a stone's throw to arrive at another place that will. A couple businesses may fail, but other businesses will adapt and thrive.
A lesson in laissez-faire economics could do some of these smoking apologists some good, because Adam Smith's invisible hand will continue to remove the cigarette butt from customers' mouths in Lawrence.
But those other two industries were outlawed, and the trend is curving toward the tobacco industry going the same route, or at least toward heavy regulation.
If business owners don't want to go out of business, perhaps they should make their product more compelling so that it doesn't rely upon smoking to bring in the money.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Pacific fans left Lawrence with respect for Jayhawk fans
The weekend of Dec. 4, we made the trip from northern California to Lawrence for the KU men's basketball game against the Pacific Tigers. By the end of the weekend, the three of us agreed it was the best trip ever. When we arrived at Saturday's game sporting orange and black Pacific gear, we weren't prepared for walking through the tunnel and being resoundingly booed by thousands of KU fans.
We were floored by the intense environment at Allen Fieldhouse. The south end student section will remember us as the three tall guys seated behind the Pacific bench who took the brunt of much of your ridicule. Despite the taunts and jeers, we had nothing but respect and admiration for both the intense passion and knowledge of the KU fans, both at the game and afterwards on Massachusetts Street — a mutual respect that was echoed by the dozens of people we met. Thank you Lawrence, Ken...we love 'yal

PANEL: Image marketing made a difference in election, panel says
voted for him, as opposed to the 89 percent of Democrats who voted for U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.).
He also said that religion played a large role.
Democrats missed an opportunity to succeed, said Bill Lacy, director of the Institute and former republican strategist.
"Across the board it shows that this is a nation of faith." Newhouse said, citing numbers that said 53 percent of Americans believe in Biblical creationism as opposed to 30 percent believing in evolution as the beginning of life.
"One thing that's fundamental is that George Bush went into the election with lots of problems, and John Kerry, for whatever reason, didn't take advantage of that," he said.
Steven Jacques, former advance and communications advisor for Kerry's campaign, said the Bush camp did a better job of using consumer marketing techniques to its advantage.
He said Bush did a good job of portraying himself as a strong, resolute and moral candidate, while Kerry was portrayed as a wobbler and someone you couldn't trust.
"This campaign was a great example of style over substance," he said. "People vote on feelings, not issues."
The discussion was followed by a question and answer session with the 130 audience members.
One audience member asked
the panel to name some potential republican presidential candidates for 2008.
Newhouse said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R.Tenn.) was a possibility, along with George Pataki, governor of New York, former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani, along with other senior senators.
Lacy said the field was wide open, citing a recent trend away from naming candidates from the Republican Party who had run before, noting that Bob Dole, George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon had all run for the presidency before being nominated as their party's choice.
Brett Johnson, Omaha, Neb. senior, said she enjoyed the presentation.
"The Democrats need to have a better plan on the issues," the political science major said.
She said she liked the polling numbers, but wished there had been an independent pollster.
"The Democrats lost because of their lack of a clear media strategy," said Stuewe, who worked for the Kerry campaign.
Elizabeth Burshey, Jennifer freshman, said she attended the event because she wanted to hear an intelligent analysis of the election results.
"I liked the interaction between the panelists," she said. "They all had substantial facts to back up their opinions."

The sun is a symbol of energy and vitality. It is also a source of light and warmth, making it a popular choice for use in interior design and decor. The sun is often depicted as a bright yellow or orange figure with rays extending outward. This image shows a stylized representation of the sun with rays, rendered in a bold black color. The sun is set against a white background, which helps to emphasize its brightness and energy.

Ukraine sticks with election results
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KIEV, Ukraine Lawmakers fought over and failed to pass legal reforms aimed at ensuring a fair rematch of Ukraine's fraudulent presidential runoff, accusing each other yesterday of acting in bad faith as several thousand orange-clad protesters besieged parliament and chanted, "Parasites! Parasites!"
The demonstrators, supporters of opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko, have grown impatient over lack of progress in approving the electoral amendments sought for the Dec. 26 repeat vote.
the victory of Kremlin-backed Prime Minister' Viktor Yanukovch.
Yushchenko supporters say the changes will close loopholes for fraud that marred the Nov. 21 runoff and prompted the Supreme Court to cancel
But a loose coalition of communists, socialists and pro-government factions in parliament agreed to pass the electoral changes only together with constitutional changes, which would turn some presidential powers over to parliament.
Yushchenko has balked at the changes, saying that allies of outgoing President Leonid Kuchma want to weaken his authority should he win.
In a development that could have a dramatic effect on the rematch, the Times of London Web site reported late Tuesday that doctors who treated Yushchenko for a mysterious illness during the initial campaign have determined there "was an attempt on his life" with a biological or chemical agent or a rare poison.
"There is no longer a question for discussion," the newspaper quoted Dr. Nikolai Korpan, who treated Yushchenko at the Rudolfnerhaus clinic in Vienna, Austria. "We are now sure that we can confirm which substance cause this illness. He received this substance from other people who had a specific aim."
The newspaper then said it asked Korpan if the aim had been to kill Yushchenko, to which the doctor was quoted as responding: "Yes, of course."
Yushchenko fell ill September 6 and was rushed to the Vienna clinic four days later. Yushchenko has accused the Ukrainian authorities of poisoning him.
His detractors suggested he'd eaten some bad sushi. Known for his ruggedly handsome, almost movie star looks, Yushchenko's skin now is severely pockmarked. His face is haggard, swollen and partially paralyzed. One eye often tears up.
Late last month, Korpan had said the cause of Yushchенко's illness remained "totally open."
He told the Times yesterday that the substance that was administered to Yushchenko would be identified in a matter of days, but physicians needed him to return to Vienna for an examination.
"We need to check him again here in Vienna. If we received him today, we could finish the whole investigation in two or three days," Korpan was quoted.

Young said he expected Student Senate and Recreation Services to collaborate on the money's use if the proposal were approved.
Eli and John Rosenberg, both sophomores from Joplin, Mo., said the only thing the recreation center lacked was enough weights. Apart from needing more weights, Eli said it fulfilled all his other expectations.
As a senior, Wichita native Melissa Jenkins said she used to work out at the Burge Union before the recreation center was built.

ings even as Recreation Services awaits the Legislature's vote.
When the recreation center first opened last year, weekend hours began at 10 a.m. But the number of students using the center in the morning were small, so the hours were changed to noon this semester, Chappell said. In response to user request throughout the semester, however, the weekend hours will return to 10 a.m. next semester, she said.
After winter break, students can expect to see some changes in the recreation center's offer.
Jenkins said she appreciated the recreation center's early-morning and late-evening hours but also thought there was a need for more weights.
The Recreation Center also has a new outdoor program called Outdoor Pursuits. The program allows students to check out various camping and hiking equipment, including backpacks, tents, canoes, stoves, lanterns and sleeping bags. A "Come and Work on Your Bike" program will also be offered.
Chappell said the Student Recreation Advisory Board and Recreation Services representatives also had discussed imple-

'Hawks lack depth, height
BY PAUL BRAND

KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
At the onset of the season, first-year coach Bonnie Henrickson said her Jayhawks were all freshmen in a way. They were all being introduced to a new approach to basketball, and the learning curve would be steep at

times.

See the story on page 3B about the team's game tonight.
Early in the season, the women's basketball team (3-3) has learned tough lessons and gained a valuable experience that it will
take into the 7 p.m. home game against Western Illinois (2-3).
Sunday's 62-45 defeat on the road against now No.16 Minnesota started off quickly for Kansas, but eventually the Golden Gophers used their deeply talented roster to gain a home victory. Although the Jayhawks dropped the game to even up their totals in the victory-defeat column, both the offense and defense showed promise and progress.
Tonight, Kansas will have to deal with a problem that reared its head against Minnesota and that will likely follow Kansas throughout the season:
"T they were hurting us from their ball
screens. We weren't doing good defensively against those."
Pam Borton Minnesota basketball coach
Early in the Minnesota game, Kansas established a strong offensive scheme and showed confidence, placing the Jayhawks in an unexpected 19-4 lead and a 33-27 halftime lead. Guard penetration and screens aided the Jayhawks, who made their first three shots from beyond the arc and shot 14-29 in the first half.
lack of depth.
"They were hurting us from their ball screens," said Minnesota coach Pam Borton. "We weren't doing good defensively against those."
But the Golden Gophers outscored the undermanned Jayhawks 35-12 after the break, a second-half lag familiar to the Jayhawks this season. Tired players and foul trouble for the front court, including freshman forward Taylor McIntosh, has proved problematic in second-half offensive performances this season.
Self works to include freshmen
SEE DEPTH ON PAGE 5B
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
Four games into the basketball season. coach Bill Self has had more time to evaluate his three freshmen big men.
Self noticed one underlying theme.
"We have got to play our young guys more." Self said.
Sasha Kaun, C.J. Giles, Darnell Jackson and Alex Galindo have combined for an average 32.6 minutes per game. That is about 18 total minutes less than Self would want to see from the them.
"In a perfect world, it would be to get 50 minutes out of those four guys," Self said. "If you can get 15 points and 15 rebounds out of those 50 minutes, you basically have a productive two guys, except we are doing with four."
"My role hasn't changed, I just need to keep playing defense and rebounding," he said.
Jackson said he thought Self was making an effort to give the freshmen more playing time, but Jackson said his job was the same as it was at the start of the season.
Self said the three individual freshmen were consistently improving. He said Kaun played the best in practice last week but Jackson contributed the most to Saturday's game. Self said he would use
the freshmen, not including Russell Robinson, depending on how they practice before the game and depending on the pace of the game.
Self said he would like one of them to emerge as the front runner for playing time or even a starting role. But for now, it looks as though Self is going to stick with starting junior walk-on Christian Moody — at least for awhile.
"Christian is just better than the other three right now, but that is only time away and we anticipated that all along." Self said.
Self and Moody have talked about his current role with the Jayhawks and the how his role may change in the future. Self told Moody even if one of the freshmen worked into a starting role, it would not be a knock on Moody.
Moody's biggest disadvantage is he's smaller compared to Kaun, Jackson and Giles. Self said when the Jayhawks started playing bigger teams, it would be ideal to have more size on the court so Wayne Simien could guard the power forward position. In most cases, that would create a size advantage for Simien.
"Christian deserves the minute he is getting and deserves to start,"Self said "But we would be better we if played bigger."
In the immediate future, however, size is not that important. Thursday's opponent, Texas Christian University, will be
one of the smallest teams the Jajhwaks will face all year, Self said. So Moody's ultimate weakness will be a strength for him Thursday.
Self has said the Jayhawks struggle defensively against the quicker and smaller teams because they force Kansas' post players to guard on the perimeter. In that case, what the Jayhawks gain in size, they lack in quickness.
"We struggle the most when their four one is a perimeter plover." Self said.
Self said Pacific's Christian Maraker was an example of a player who caused defensive problems for Kansas. Maraker scored 22 points against the Jayhawks Saturday in 31 minutes. Although Mararker played the four position, he scored most of his points from the perimeter.

If Self is right about TCU's quickness, it could be difficult for Jackson and Kaun to defend the four player.
"Darnell is definitely better off when he can hit someone." he said.
Self said Jackson played best in physical situations.
But Giles' shot-blocking ability and athleticism will come in handy against an undersized TCU.
Winter break would be the ideal time for the freshmen to step up into a more assertive role. This is normally the time when a team excels the most because of no school or social distractions, just basketball. Self said.

Freshman forward Darnell Jackson lays on a fast break. The Jayhawks went on to win the game against the St. Joseph's Hawks on Nov. 23, 91-51. Jackson had eight points and three rebounds.
Until then, Kansas fans should expect to see a lot of Moody.

Irish may consider Mangino
Kansas coach Mark Mangino looks over the field at Iowa State as the Jayhawks run out of the locker room on Oct. 30.
Mangino told The Kansas City Star that he had not spoken with any members of the Notre Dame administration. He indicated he probably wouldn't be interested in the position.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino's name is circulating on the list of candidates to replace the fired Tyrone Willingham as coach of Notre Dame, according to an article in yesterday's South Bend Tribune.
"I'm bent on making Kansas a top 25 program," Mangino told The Star. "That's all I'm concerned about. I don't deal with hypothetical issues."
The South Bend Tribune listed Wisconsin coach Barry Alvarez, Northwestern coach Randy Walker, Connecticut coach Randy Esdall, Boise State coach Dan Hawkins and
New England Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis as other potential coaches.
The Athletics Department is not worried about its football coach, however.
Marchiony said Kansas athletics director Lew Perkins spoke with Mangino last night, and that Notre Dame was not an issue.
"Just because a newspaper prints names doesn't mean those names are anywhere near accurate," associate athletics director Ilim Marchionv said.
"I think it would be pointless to comment on something so hypothetical," Marchiony said.
When Notre Dame fired Willingham last week, it was widely assumed that Utah coach Urban Meyer would head to South Bend, Ind., to take the job at
Meyer, however, elected to go to Florida and to replace fired coach Ron Zook.
a place where he previously coached. Meyer even had a clause in his contract eliminating the buyout if he went there.
Mangino has received contract extensions after both of his first two seasons, but no extension has yet been made this season.
Mangino has said that he and his staff are not in Lawrence just to wait for a bigger job, but rather to build the program into something bigger.
"I'm not entertaining any kind of thoughts like that at this point in time," Mangino told The Star."My family and I love living in Lawrence."

Nice and easy, just as it was meant to be.
Rank system strips teams of postseason opportunities
Then the teams who have collected the most victories at the end of the season get to play each other to determine the best winner of them all.
The beautiful thing about sports is their simplicity. People who understand nothing otherwise know that the team with the most points at the end of the game is the winner.
Well, not exactly-at least not for Division IA college football.
Not only does Division IA football refuse to use easy-to-understand playoff brackets, but the sport opts instead to use what may be the most complicated monstrosity on the planet: the Bowl Championship Series system. The BCS system ranks the top 25 teams using four components: polls (done by sportswriters and coaches), computer rankings, difficulty of schedules and each team's record.
A typical college football fan has to be wondering what all the polls and number-crunching has to do with the game itself. Who is to say which undefeated team is the best, and of those teams, who should play for the national title?
The computer rankings look at factors such as a team's previous year's rank, the strength of its conference and nonconference opponents, home-field advantages and actual game outcomes versus the probability of those outcomes.
In the BCS system, there are eight spots to be filled by teams competing in one of the four major bowl games: Rose, Sugar, Fiesta and Orange. Six of those spots are given to the teams who won their BCS conferences (Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big 10, Big 12, Pac-10 and Southeastern).
Even worse is the fact that the coaches involved are also a big part of the rankings, which they can easily play to their advantages. Like in 1997, when the coaches collectively changed their vote, changing the No. 1 team from undefeated Michigan to undefeated Nebraska in honor of retiring 'Husker coach Tom Osborne.
After that, two more teams will be selected if they finished first or second in BCS rankings, finished in the top six of the BCS rankings as a non-BCS conference team or if they are the highest rated non-BCS team, finishing either third or fourth in the rankings.
So a collaboration of 63 sportswriters, 61 BCS conference football coaches and six computers — or 130 different opinions — tell us who we will watch in this year's Orange Bowl.
Why not form a playoff bracket? Why not give the teams who have gone undefeated an opportunity to show that it's not who they play that matters? If these teams are only as good as their weak schedules show, then we don't need to see it on a poll or a computer screen.
So now, in the 2004 postseason, we are looking at teams such as Auburn (12-0), Utah (11-0) and Boise State (11-0) who finished undefeated and will not have the opportunity to play the best of the best and compete for a national title.
The entire Division IA couldn't rely on these confusing BCS rankings without a confusing formula to calculate them. The point total from the Associated Press poll, the coaches' poll and the computer ranking systems all average together to give a point total for each team.
Starting to see the need for playoffs?
The BCS system is telling teams such as Auburn and Utah that they will have to do better than perfection to play for a national title, and that simply isn't right.

HARTFORD, Conn. — Barbara Turner had 17 points, 11 rebounds and two blocked shots to lead eighth-ranked Connecticut to a 55-32 victory Tuesday night over Hartford.
Connecticut defeats Hartford in sluggish intrastate game
Turner was the only player in double figures for UConn (4-1), which had a previous low this season of 65 points in a 71-65 loss last month to North Carolina.
But UConn was in no danger this time, because Hartford (4-1) fared even worse. The Hawks missed 10 straight shots and had nine turnovers in an 11-minute stretch of the first half. Erika Messam led Hartford with 13 points.
It was the first time Auriemma, who has five NCAA titles, has gone head-to-head against one of his former players.
The game featured the matchup of UConn coach Geno Auriemma and Hartford's Jennifer Rizzotti, his former player from the Huskies' first national championship team.
ATHENS, Ga. — Kylan Loney had five 3s among her 23 points, and Arizona State took advantage of 24 turnovers by Georgia.
Arizona St. 67, No. 11 Georgia 57
The Sun Devils (7-1) scored 30 points off the turnovers. That negated 59-percent shooting by the Lady Dogs (5-3), who got 16 points from Tasha Humphrey.
No. 19 Maryland 91, St. Bonaventure 42
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Shay Doron scored 25 points to lead five Maryland players in double figures.
Doron went 10-for-15, including 3-of-5 from 3-point range, for the Terrapins (6-1), who shot 60 percent in the second half.
St. Bonaventure (2-4) made 27 turnovers, leading to 34 Maryland points. Crystal Langhorne scored 12 points, Ashleigh Newman 11, Kalika France 11 and Laura Harper 10 for the Terrapins.

Manning near Marino's record
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
There are traces of Johnny Unitas, Dan Marino, Joe Montana and Steve Young in Peyton Manning, not to mention the DNA of dear old dad, Archie.
They're all there in his arm, his accuracy. his eyes, his brains.
He commands the field as they did, scanning targets, clicking them off side to side, throwing short or long. The way he passes, the way he's protected by his line, and the way Edgerrin James runs, this Manning need not often risk his limbs or skull scampering around.
Peyton Manning is in the lineage of those quarterback icons and he's snatching pieces of their records one by one, sometimes in one fell swoop.
On Sunday, when Indianapolis is at Houston, Manning needs five touchdown passes to break Marino's NFL single-season record of 48 in 1984. Playing in the Colts' 13th game with three to go, Manning is on pace for 58 TD passes this year. When the Colts hosted the Texans last month, Manning threw for five TDs.
If that is football's equivalent of the home run record, Manning could shatter Marino's mark by a greater percentage than Barry Bonds' 73 home runs or Mark McGwire's 70 eclipsed Roger Marsi' 61.
At the same time, Manning is on
Numbers like that, plus film of him picking apart secondaries, drive defenses crazy. They look for flaws and see few.
course to take down Young's quarterback record, 112.4, with an astounding 126.3 mark so far.
"He's as close to a football god as there is right now," Chicago Bears defensive end Adewale Ogunleye said recently. "The way they're playing on offense, it's like Madden 2005."
Manning is at another level. His line keeps him out of sack trouble. James, the NFL's second-leading rusher with 1,291 yards and eight TDs, keeps defenses honest. The air force is deep: Marvin Harrison (67 catches for 870 yards and 12 TDs); Reggie Wayne (56-875, 10 TDs); Brandon Stokley (55-882, nine TDs); Marcus Pollard (23-233, six TDs); and Dallas Clark (18-357, five TDs).
It's as new as the latest video game and as old as the vintage teams quarterbacked by the players Manning is surpassing. They commanded offensive juggernauts in their time, playing catch with their favorite receivers.
His three-TD, 425-yard effort this past Sunday in a victory over Tennessee didn't tire out Manning enough to keep him from trying to
Manning's toughest job is to divide the yards and TDs evenly, keep everyone alert and happy.
keep some other people happy on Monday. Without a lot of fanfare, he hosted 1,100 disadvantaged kids for a holidays celebration at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, giving them hugs, shaking their hands and signing autographs.
This is the year of the surpassing passer in the NFL. Manning is the best by far, but others are enjoying some of the finest seasons in history.
Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb, having the best season of his six-year career, erased Montana's record for consecutive completions. He hit on his first 14 passes in the Eagles' 47-17 victory over Green Bay on Sunday, a week after completing his last 10 passes in a victory over Eli Manning and the New York Giants.
Pittsburgh rookie Ben Roethlisberger is flirting with perfection of a different sort, leading the Steelers on a 10-game winning streak.
Against the Packers, McNabb passed for a career-high five touchdowns and a club-record 464 yards to bring his quarterback rating to 110.4, second-best in the league.
Roethlisberger didn't get the respect and the money Eli Manning did in the NFL draft last spring, but he has a virtual lock on offensive Rookie of the Year. He is fourth among the six quarterbacks with ratings over 100, and he is the only rookie among them.
Dealing deadline nearing for teams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Namar Garciaparra stayed with the Chicago Cubs, and the Boston Red Sox made arbitration offers to Pedro Martinez and several other World Series stars yesterday, the first big deadline of the offseason for teams and free agents.
Garciaparra agreed to an $8 million, one-year contract to remain with the Cubs, the team that acquired him from the Red Sox at the end of July. If he stays healthy, he could make up to $11 million with Chicago.
"I just felt Chicago is the best place for me," he said. "I'm looking forward to going out there and, hopefully, turning this into a long-term relationship."
Chicago also agreed to a $2.5 million, one-year contract with second baseman Todd Walker.
Philadelphia agreed to a $5.25 million, two-year deal with left-hander Rheal Cormier, and Seattle settled on a $1.75 million, one-year contract with catcher Dan Wilson.
Houston agreed to two deals, an $800,000, one-year contract with outfield Orlando Palmeiro and a minor league contract with right-hander Russ Springer.
Boston offered arbitration to Martinez, Derek Lowe and Jason Varitek along with shortstop Orlando Cabrera, pitches Pedro Astacio and Mike Myers, infielder Pokey Reese and first baseman David McCarty.
Also, right-hander Kevin Appier launched another comeback bid, agreeing to a minor league contract with the Kansas City Royals.
Players offered arbitration have until Dec. 19 to accept the offers and can re-sign through Jan. 8. If teams don't offer arbitration, they can't resign their former free agents until May 1.
Theo Epstein said some of the players were offered arbitration with the understanding they would not accept arbitration.
In addition, teams get amateur draft picks as compensation when they offer arbitration to top free agents who sign elsewhere.
Because of that, several deals that were close to completion will be finalized once the deadline passes.
The Florida Marlins were close to a contract with Al Leiter, and the New York Yankees were talking to Eric Milton, another left-hander.
Two baseball agents said Tuesday that the New York Mets were negotiating with outfielder Moises Alou.
Many teams planned to wait until the deadline passed to announce their decisions, including the Yankees, Mets and Atlanta Braves.
Arizona offered arbitration to first baseman Richie Sexson, who is expected to sign elsewhere. Anaheim did not offer arbitration to third baseman Troy Glaus, the 2002 World Series MVP.

Kansas prepares for Western Illinois' top player
For the second consecutive game, the Kansas women's basketball team will have to deal with an All-American and player-of-the-year candidate. This time it's 6-foot-7 Zane Teilane, who hails from Riga, Latvia.
Teilane is the oil that runs the machine for the Western Illinois Westerwinds, which will visit Allen Fieldhouse for the game against the Jayhawks, scheduled for tip-off at 7 tonight.
"She's definitely capable of taking over a game," said Western Illinois coach Leslie Crane. "She's a great player. She's been doing very well in our system."
Not only is Teilane contributing with her points and rebounds, she is only one assist shy of leading the team in that category. One of the tallest girls in all of college basketball, she possesses a rare quality in post players. She has excellent passing skills, and can find the open player when she gets double-teamed, her coach said.
"That's the last thing you want your 6-foot-7 kid to be doing, having that many assists," Crane said. "But when people double down on her like they have all season, she does a good job kicking the ball back out to the open girl."
Kansas wants to contain Teilane like they did Minnesota's Janel McCarville on Sunday. McCarville, also an All-
American and player of the year candidate, was held in check by the Kansas defense, scoring 15 points for the Golden Gophers in their 62-45 defeat against the Jayhawks.
"I'm sure they are going to do everything they can from letting her get the ball." Crane said. "It's difficult to defend us, because we have other scorers, and players who can hit the open shot."
Those other scorers include senior guards Jessica Cook and Rita Castans. Cook, who averages a team-high 31 minutes per game, is averaging 15.2 points and five rebounds a game. She also leads the team in field goal percentage, shooting 54 percent from the field.
Castans is the only other Westerwind averaging double
Crane's career victory number is 100. She has spent her entire six-year coaching career at Western Illinois. Her team hasn't played since last Wednesday's victory and has used the extra time to prepare for the Jayhawks.
figure scoring, posting 10.8 points per game. She had 15 points on four of seven shooting from the field and was a perfect five-of-five from the free throw line in the Westerwinds' 72-57 victory against Bradley last Wednesday.
Crane thinks Kansas junior guard Erica Hallman will be the best guard her team will face all season.
"She's the real deal as far as being an all-around great player." Crane said. "We feel that we
need to keep her contained, and try to do some things to rattle her cage a little bit. I haven't seen the preseason selections, but I'm sure she will be a Big 12 All-Conference selection at the end of the season."
Along with stopping Hallman, the Westerwinds also want to counter Kansas junior forward Crystal Kemp. Kemp has been the go-to player for the jayhawks this season, averaging 15.5 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.
"She has progressed and become a very good player for them," Crane said. "She's somebody they rely on to do a lot of scoring for them."
The Westerwinds have played four of their five games on the road, but Crane said beating the
Jayhawks at the fieldhouse would be no easy task.
"We've definitely got our hands full when it comes to trying to beat KU." Crane said.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson was proud of her team's effort on Sunday against Minnesota. The Jayhawks led the 18th ranked team in the country at halftime, but surrendered the lead in the second half.
Henrickson is impressed with the Westerwinds and knows the Jayhawks must play as they did in the first half of the Minnesota game if they want to win.
"They are a good team," Henrickson said of Western Illinois. "We're going to have to play well."
Cardinals seek new starter
Edited by Rupal Gor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Woody Williams, the St. Louis Cardinals' Game 1 starter in both rounds of the playoffs and the World Series, was all but certain yesterday that he wouldn't be back next season.
The deadline for offering salary arbitration to free agents was 11 p.m. yesterday. Players not offered salary arbitration can still re-sign with their current teams but won't be eligible to play until May 1.
Williams, who battled injuries early in the season and finished with 11 victories, said he and his agent had not been in contact with the team. He couldn't see the team offering him arbitration at the last minute, either.
"I haven't heard a word from them," Williams said. "I think they've got irons in other fires. I'm sure they have some kind of plan, but whether I'm in it remains to be seen."
The Cardinals faced decisions on four other key members of the team that won 104 games. Pitcher Matt Morris also is a free agent, along with shortstop Edgar Renteria, catcher Mike Matheny, second baseman Tony Womack and left-handed reliever Steve Kline, among others.
Kline hadn't been in contact with the team, either. He's recovering from surgery on his left index finger on Nov. 11, an injury that kept him off the World Series roster.
fish to fry than worrying about a left-handed reliever. It's a great organization but whatever happens, happens."
"I doubt if they'll do anything with me," he said.
"They've probably got bigger
The Cardinals did not return phone calls seeking comment yesterday afternoon.
The team has been seeking a No. 1 starter since being swept in the World Series by the Boston Red Sox. They've expressed interest in acquiring Randy Johnson from Arizona, but the Diamondbacks have reportedly wanted ton prospects
— including right-hander Dan Haren — that the Cardinals may be unwilling to give up.
Still, the possibility of signing Johnson or some other pitcher — and freeing up the money to do so — would affect the approach to signing the Cardinals' own free agents, several of whom have expressed a desire to stay in St. Louis.
Morris, 30, is a 1995 No. 1 draft pick for St. Louis who won 22 games in 2001. In seven seasons, he is 87-52 with a 3.53 ERA.
And though he was 15-10 last season, Morris' ERA ballooned to 4.72, he gave up 35 homers, and his velocity, once in the mid-90s, was off considerably. Last month he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder, which bothered him throughout the season.
Morris earned $12.5 million in 2004 in the last year of a three-year contract. The team may want him back, but at considerably less money.
through the 2001 season and though he trailed the staff in victories the Cardinals won 16 of his last 19 starts. He was a compromise No. 1 starter in the postseason after Chris Carpenter sustained nerve damage to his right biceps late in September, but was 2-0 with a 2.84 ERA in his first three playoff starts before making an early exit in the World Series.
Williams, 38, is 45-22 since coming to St. Louis midway
In that game, he gave up seven runs in 2 1-3 innings. Williams made $8 million last year and after the season the Cardinals declined to pick up a club option on his contract.
Renteria is a lifetime 289 hitter and two-time Glove Glover winner who, at 29, is still relatively young. But his value — some believe he will command $10 million or more per season — may be too high for the Cardinals.
Matheny, 34, has been a starter since coming to St. Louis in 2000. Though a lifetime .247 hitter, he has won three Gold Gloves and is considered a leader in the clubhouse. The Cardinals are expected to phase in additional playing time for Yadier Molina, who hit .267 in 155 at-bats as a rookie in 2004.
Other free agents include right-handed reliever and outfielders Ray Lankford and John Mabry.
Womack, 35, was acquired in what appeared to be a minor trade with Boston in March. Instead, Womack hit .307, stole 26 bases and was a catalyst as the leadoff hitter.
Committee to investigate Marion Jones doping charge
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — The International Olympic Committee opened an investigation yesterday into doping allegations against Marion Jones, who could eventually be stripped of her five medals from the 2000 Olympics.
IOC president Jacques Rogge set up a disciplinary commission to look into the claims made by Victor Conte, head of the California-based lab accused of illegally distributing steroids.
Conte told ABC's "20/20" in a broadcast aired Friday that he gave Jones performance-enhancing drugs before and after the Sydney Olympics. He said he watched Jones inject herself with human growth hormone.
"The allegations made by Mr. Conte are extremely serious and the IOC is fully committed to bringing to light any elements that will help the truth prevail," the IOC said in a statement.
Jones won three gold medals (100 meters, 200 and 1,600 relay) and two bronze (long jump and 400 relay) in Sydney. She repeatedly has denied ever using banned drugs, and has threatened to sue Conte for defamation.
Jones' lawyer, Richard M. Nichols, did not return a phone message left at his office yesterday. The U.S. Olympic Committee also did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
World Anti-Doping Agency chief Dick Pound, a senior IOC member, has said Jones should be
stripped of her medals if Conte is telling the truth. Any decision on the medals would be made by the IOC executive board.
Rogge advocates a "zero tolerance" policy on doping.
"I hope the truth will emerge," he said last week. "We want the truth. We want to know what happened and the more we know, the better."
Under the IOC charter, Olympic decisions can be challenged within three years of the games' closing ceremony. The Sydney Olympics ended more than four years ago, on Oct. 1, 2000.
But Thomas Bach, the German lawyer and IOC member who heads the three-member investigative panel, said the three-year rule shouldn't apply in this case.
"I don't think it plays a role," he told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
Jones, who did not win any medals at the Athens Olympics, has been under investigation for months by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, but has not been charged. USADA has said it will take Conte's allegations into account.
Conte, head of the BALCO lab, said he worked with Jones from August 2000 to September 2001. He said he designed a doping regimen for her that included the previously undetectable steroid THG, the endurance-enhancing hormone EPO, human growth hormone and insulin.
Pound said there was no actual decision taken in Sydney and the allegations are only coming out now.
Bach said his first move will be to request a transcript of the ABC program.
"First of all we have to check carefully whether the allegations concern the time of the Olympics, and then we have to determine who is concerned," he said.
Bach said the investigation could cover athletes other than Jones mentioned in the program. The panel will ask for athletes' statements and could ask them to appear at a hearing, although "we are not in a position to force anybody to appear," he said.
Bach said he doesn't expect to finish the probe before the next IOC board meeting, which takes place Feb. 10-11 in Turin, Italy.
Under Rogge, who succeeded Juan Antonio Samaranch in 2001, the IOC has taken a much tougher stance on doping. The IOC sanctioned a record 24 athletes for doping offenses during the Athens Olympics in August.
The IOC has also been investigating the 1999 doping case involving American sprinter Jerome Young. He tested positive for a steroid in 1999 but was cleared by a U.S. appeals panel and won a gold medal in Sydney as part of the 1,600 relay team.
The IOC could strip the entire team — including five-time Olympic champion Michael Johnson — of the gold medals. The IOC is waiting for the Court of Arbitration for Sport to rule on an appeal by the U.S. Olympic Committee.

Big 12 coaches show concern following NBA brawl
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Do not make the mistake, say Big 12 coaches, of believing an ugly brawl like last month's NBA melee could never happen in college.
"There's no question that it could happen, particularly now with fans feeling as though they can say and do almost anything to these kids and the coaches," said Colorado coach Ricardo Patton.
"Coaches understand it and have more restraint than a 19- or 18-year-old kid."
At the urging of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, many Big 12 coaches took time after the Nov. 19 fight at a Detroit Pistons-
Indiana Pacers game to remind players and security people how to handle volatile situations.
Excited fans and students storming the court after a big win could trigger an incident, even without meaning to. Somebody's girlfriend gets knocked down; a cup is thrown — then a punch — and chaos erupts
"I can see the potential of danger there," said Kansas coach Bill Self. "Something very innocent could become a major problem. I think it would be smart for administrators to block fans from coming onto the court after the games."
The fight among spectators and players broke out in Detroit after an on-court dispute over a
foul. A fan hurled a drink at Indiana's Ron Artest, and players suddenly charged into the stands, leading to players being suspended.
Missouri's Quin Snyder fears the competitive psychology of athletics and athletes might trigger an incident when fans become abusive.
"In the game of basketball, you're taught don't back down, be tough, be competitive," Snyder said.
"At the wrong moment someone spits on you and you react, a player or coach or whoever ... we've seen how quickly these things can escalate.
"It's hard to bite your tongue."
Allowing fans to storm the court is not necessarily a good idea, said Texas A&M's Billy
"Sooner or later you're asking for a situation that might not be a good situation for student-athletes, for fans, or for anyone," said Gillespie.
Gillespie.
"Players used to be called cagers because they used to play in cages. I would not want to get back to that. You just don't want to take the emotion away."
NABC executive director Jim Haney has sent a message to about 1,000 college coaches urging them to review security plans at their arenas.
"Coming on the heels of the brawl in Detroit, we have to recognize that we're nearing the conference season where the intensity and emotions run higher." Haney said.
"As a visitor, you've got to
expect that you're going to be verbally assaulted, possibly have ice or other things thrown on you. How do you handle that? If a fight breaks out on court during a game, what will you do?"
Pat Knight, assistant coach to Bob Knight at Texas Tech, has another concern.
"I worry about my dad's protection more than I do our players," he said. "Some of the things the people say who sit behind us are just unbelievable. I worry about him."
The elder Knight, who's been known to lose his temper, has a police escort every road game in and out of the gym and onto the bus.
"He's so well known," Pat Knight said. "He's also known
for his temperament. People try to get under his skin."
Oklahoma's Kelvin Sampson is the only Big 12 coach who doubts such a brawl could happen at a college game.
"You like to think we would control what's going on on the court a little better," he said. "I just don't think it could happen in college."
Not coincidentally, coaches at successful programs whose fans hardly ever storm the court would like to see the practice stopped. Others, such as Scott Drew, the second-year coach at struggling Baylor, would vote against any such move.
"If we win one of those games where our fans want to run on court for a celebration, I don't mind that," he said.

Patriot QB Brady named Sportsman of the Year
ST. LOUIS — Tom Brady, who has led the New England Patriots to two Super Bowl titles in three years, on Tuesday was named Sportsman of the Year by Sporting News.
Details will be available in the Dec. 13 issue, available on newsstands Wednesday.
The new sheriff in 'The Swamp'
Brady was the 199th player selected in the 2000 draft. But he took over for the injured Drew Bledsoe in 2001, leading the Patriots to a 20-17 Super Bowl victory over the St. Louis Rams. Last season, the Patriots went 15-1 en route to another Super Bowl title.
Brady is 45-13 as a starting quarterback and won the MVP award for both Super Bowls.
New England is 11-1 this season, tied with Pittsburgh and Philadelphia for the best record in the NFL.
"When Tom Brady says of himself, 'I know I can't take any shortcuts ... I'm not that good,' it is an accurate reflection of him as both a player and a person," said Sporting News editorial director John Rawlings.
"You'll find quarterbacks with gaudier statistics and some with more hype, but Tom Brady is about winning and that's why they play the game."
The award is determined by editors of the St. Louis-based Sporting News. Last year's cowinners were Kansas City Chiefs coach Dick Vermell and Florida Marlins manager Jack McKeon.

DEPTH: Kansas struggles with bench and height
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
While Kansas has outscored opponents 187-130 in the first half of this year's games, the opposition has a 175-139 second-half advantage. This tale of two halves could hurt the Jayhawks again tonight.
Western Illinois has performed better as a second-half squad, with a 197-167 second-half edge in its five games.
The Jayhawks' bench problems are aggravated by an obvious lack of height. Tonight's matchup against the Westerwinds offers concerns to
a Jayhawk roster whose tallest player is 6-foot-2 junior forward Crystal Kemp.
"It is going to be an issue for us," Henrickson said. "An issue that we can't solve right now."
A defensive game plan against the Golden Gophers included double-teaming their 6-foot-2 senior center Janel McCarville, which limited the national player of the year candidate to only 15 points and nine rebounds. Last year, she averaged 16 points and 11 rebounds.
Tonight's game will put Kemp against another dominating post, Western Illinois junior
Zane Teilane. The 6-foot-7 center is the Mid-Continent Preseason Player of the Year and is coming off a 22-point, nine-rebound and four-block showing in Western Illinois' 72-57 victory against Bradley last Wednesday.
Kansas is 3-2 so far this season at home.
Henrickson's game plan for shutting down Teilane will most likely be similar to the system that held McCarville to 7-15 from the field and forced her into five turnovers.

Cowboys defeat Seahawks
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Bill Parcells told his team during the past two weeks that playoff scenarios can change quickly.
That's for sure. Just look at the Dallas Cowboys, instantly in the thick of the postseason chase.
And check out the slumping Seattle Seahawks, in danger of missing the playoffs after a 3-0 start.
Rookie Julius Jones capped a remarkable comeback for the Cowboys with a 17-yard touchdown run with 32 seconds left, and the Cowboys stunned the struggling Seahawks 43-39 on Monday night to pull into the crowded NFC playoff picture.
"I have not been around too many like that," Parcells said. "That was unbelievable. I feel fortunate to win."
Jones ran for 198 yards and three touchdowns, and the Cowboys (5-7) overcame a 10-point deficit with less than two minutes remaining.
"I looked around and guys were talking, saying, "Let's go," quarterback Vinny Testaverde said, recalling the huddle at the two-minute warning. "That tells me they were ready to give everything they had on every play. I admired the courage of our guys."
Testaverde threw for 225 yards and three TDs, including a 34-yard pass to Keyshawn Johnson to get Dallas to 39-35
with 1:45 left, Jason Witten recovered an onside kick, and Dallas was in business at its 43.
Eight plays later, Testaverde handed off to Jones and immediately raised his arms as he watched the rookie burst through Seattle's defensive line and sprint into the end zone on an 8-yard run.
With four games remaining, there's no reason to think the Cowboys can't break into the playoffs just as easily. Dallas is one of six NFC teams at 5-7, and it's a wide-open race.
"There was a huge hole," Jones said. "I can't say enough about the offensive line. They were making holes like that for me all night."
"Coach Parcells always tells us not to count ourselves out," Witten said.
It's another story for Seattle (6-6), which has won only three games after a 3-0 start and dropped into a tie atop the NFC West with St. Louis. Worse for the Seahawks, the Rams hold the tiebreaker with two head-to-head victories.
The talk in training camp was that Seattle was ready to contend in the NFC. With road trips to Minnesota and the New York Jets ahead, plus home games against Arizona and Atlanta, nothing is certain.
"We need to get back to work. We have to put it behind us and do the right thing," said Seattle receiver Jerry Rice, who became the NFL's career leader in combined net yards with
23. 469.
This loss will sting because the Seahawks were sharp in building an early 14-3 lead. Then came three fumbles that helped Dallas score 26 unanswered points in the second and third quarters.
"We are our own worst enemy," coach Mike Holmgren said. "We were tonight. I know I've said that before. We do some very good things and then we do some things that demonstrate a lack of maturity. It has cost us dearly this season."
Seattle wasn't out of it, erasing a 15-point hole with three scoring drives in the fourth quarter.
The Seahawks led 32-29 with 5:29 to go after Matt Hasselbeck's 19-yard TD pass to Jerome Urban and a successful 2-point conversion pass to Darrell Jackson. It was time for the knockout punch.
Ken Hamlin came up with a huge interception to give the Seahawks possession at the Dallas 41, and Shaun Alexander broke a 32-yard scoring run on fourth-and-one to put Seattle up 39-29 with 2:46 to play.
Then, Jones and the Cowboys took control.
"It's tough. You feel like you've put them away, but we've learned this year that you have to play the whole game," said Hasselbeck, who completed 28-of-40 for 414 yards passing with three TDs.
Southern California fires Bibby, appoints interim
LOS ANGELES — Henry Bibby was suddenly fired as Southern California's basketball coach Monday, just four games into his ninth season.
"I understand that the timing of this is unorthodox," athletic director Mike Garrett said in a statement. "But I feel strongly that our men's basketball program needs to go in a different direction. And it was obvious to me that change had to be made now."
Assistant Jim Saia was appointed interim coach for the
Bibby had an overall record of 131-111. His 1997, 2001 and 2002 teams made it to the NCAA tournament, including a final eight appearance in 2001.

Tedford, the architect of the Golden Bears' swift transformation from a laughing stock to a national contender, agreed to a lucrative contract extension that could keep him at Cal through 2009.
BERKELEY, Calif. — Just a day after California missed out on a trip to the Rose Bowl, coach Jeff Tedford vowed to try again for five more years.
Tedford will make $1.5 million per year plus as much as $300,000 in incentives, along with a $2.5 million retention bonus at the end of the contract.
The deal thrilled Tedford's players, who were downcast Sunday after learning Texas had sneaked past the Golden Bears to take the final spot in the Bowl Championship Series. Cal, which had hoped for its first trip to the Rose Bowl in 46 years, instead will face Texas Tech in the Holiday Bowl.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Texas linebacker Derrick Johnson won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy as the best defensive player in college football.
Johnson tied an NCAA record by forcing eight fumbles this season, leading the sixth-ranked Longhorns to a 10-1 record and their first trip to the Rose Bowl. The Big 12 defensive player of the year had 128 tackles, 19 for loss, and an interception.
The senior became the first Texas player to win the 12-yearold award, presented by the Football Writers Association of America and the Charlotte Touchdown Club. COLLEGE

HOUSTON — NBA Hall of Famer Calvin Murphy was acquitted of charges he sexually abused five of his 10 daughters more than a decade ago.
As soon as the verdict was read, Murphy shook hands with his attorney and wiped away tears.
Murphy, 56, had long denied the allegations, saying they were based on resentment and a dispute over money. He could have faced five years to life for sex assault charges and two to 20 years for indecency charges.
To make room for Kidd, the Nets placed forward Awwee Storey on the injured list with a strained right hamstring.
Kidd had not played in a game since having surgery on his left knee in July. He had last played in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against Detroit.

The Lakers received Charlotte's second-round picks for 2005 and 2008.

The Lakers also re-signed Tony Bobbitt. Bobbitt, a 6-foot-4 guard out of Cincinnati, originally signed with Los Angeles during the offseason as an undrafted rookie free agent.
NEW YORK — The freagent market slowed to a crawl before yesterday's midnight deadline for teams to offer salary arbitration to their former players.
Just two free agents agreed to contracts, with outfielder Ricky Ledee getting a $2.5 million, two-year deal from the Los Angeles Dodgers and backup catcher Todd Pratt receiving a $750,000, one-year deal to stay with the Philadelphia Phillies.
NEW YORK — Vijay Singh won the PGA Tour player of the year award for the first time, ending Tiger Woods' five-year hold on the honor with a season that left no debate about who was No. 1 in golf.
Also, the Colorado Rockies terminated Denny Neagle's $51 million, five-year contract, three days after the oft-injured pitcher was cited for solicitation. GOLF
Singh captured the PGA Championship among his nine victories and became the first player to surpass $10 million in one season. No one else won more than three times, and his earnings were nearly twice as much as Ernie Els'.
The PGA Tour award is determined by a vote of the players. Singh thought he should have won it last year, when he won four times and was No.1 on the money list. Woods, who had five victories last year, won the award by a close vote.
Steroid tests to get stricter
PHOENIX — Baseball players gave their lawyers the goahead yesterday to reach an agreement with owners on tougher testing for steroids.
After negotiations with management were outlined to the executive board of the players' association, union head Donald Fehr said the board "authorized us to attempt to conclude an agreement consistent with those discussions."
Commissioner Bud Selig repeatedly has called for more frequent testing and harsher
penalties for steroid use, stepping up the intensity following reports of grand jury testimony in a steroid investigation that includes Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield.
Gene Orza, the union's chief operating officer, said Monday that discussions toward a new agreement had advanced but the sides were still apart. Management expects talks to resume next week.
"We're very pleased they're coming to the table, and we hope we can achieve a program that works," said Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer.
About 40 players were present at the meeting,union spokesman Greg Bouris said.
Fenr defended the current program, saying it would work if "it had been given time." Each player was tested once in 2004 during a period between the start of spring training and the end of the regular season.
In 2003, anonymous tests were conducted as a survey, and 5 to 7 percent came back positive. Fehr thought the number of positive tests declined this year but did not provide specifics.
"What you will see is a significant reduction," he said.

I'm making a list of all the things I hate.
How productive
It will be a useful tool when confronted with a new situation, I won't have to ask myself "Do I hate this?"
I'll consult my list.
You can hate and not even have to think.
The two go hand in hand.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
You'd love to spend the whole year celebrating what you've accomplished so far. That's OK for a while, but don't let it interfere with what you're learning.
Today's Birthday (Dec. 8).
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Once you and your partner have figured out what you think you need, go shopping together. You'll save by pooling your resources. Go after the best quality.
Today is a 7.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
HOROSCOPES
Once the job's done and the mess is cleaned up, let your partner or mate take control. It'll be fun to let somebody else make decisions for a while.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is an 8.
Go ahead and make the commitment that's obviously required. The next step requires a lot of work and you'll need the support of a partner.
Todav is a 6.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
The nice thing about doing a
messy task is how good you feel afterwards. Don't let this moment go unacknowledged. Throw a private celebration.

Give up the point you were trying to make, you can finish that some other time. Right now, it's more important to see that the job is done, quickly and right.

You're getting better organized, and it'll soon by easy to make decisions and follow through on them. This will speed things up considerably.

Decision-making gets much easier for everyone tomorrow. This lifts a burden you've been carrying but you'll lose a chance to take charge. Act quickly now.

I'll go with that one. It's more accurate.
Let me re-read the image.
There are two people lying on a table, surrounded by papers and books. The person on the left is writing in a notebook, while the person on the right is reading a book. They appear to be studying or working on a project together.
Jennica Kilwein and Melissa Baraneck, both Lawrence freshman, study for finals while waiting for tickets at Allen Fieldhouse for Thursday's game against TCU. Baranek said it was a good way to productively "waste time before finals."
Texas defeats North Texas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
No.14 Texas 86, North Texas 57
AUSTIN, Texas Brad Buckman scored 18 points and blocked seven shots to lead the Longhorns.
Texas (6-1), which has shot 3 pointers with abandon early this season, did most of its damage in the paint against North Texas (3-3). Jason Klotz had 14 points and LaMarcus Aldridge scored 12.
Leonard Hopkins scored 13 to lead North Texas.
The Longhorns got off to a ragged start, twice stopping the game in the first half because
they didn't have the right number of players on the court. Texas was hit with a technical foul when it had six players on the floor and later delayed a restart when it only had four.

John Lucas hit a three-pointer to break that last tie and start a 17-4 run that included Graham's two big plays.
The defenses dominated in the matchup of top 5 teams, but Oklahoma State (6-0) was able to pull away from a 45-all tie with 6:32 to play as the Orange (7-1) couldn't hit from the field or the free throw line.
Ivan McFarlin scored with 2:20 to go to cap the run and give Oklahoma State a 62-49 lead.
Gerry McNamara hit three 3s in the closing 1:23 to get Syracuse within 66-60, but the Orange couldn't get any closer.
McFarlin and Joey Graham each had 16 points for Oklahoma State and McFarlin had 12 rebounds as the Cowboys finished with a 46-33 advantage on the boards.
Josh Pace had 20 points, two off his career-high, for Syracuse, while McNamara had 18 and Hakim Warrick 13. Warrick, a career 64 percent free throw shooter, was just five-for-13 from the line and Syracuse was 7-for-22.
The game was a matchup of two of college basketball's winning coaches. Eddie Sutton won his 617st, while Jim Boeheim stayed at 683.
Oklahoma State's physical man-to-man defense and Syracuse's vaunted 2-3 zone lived up to their billings. Syracuse held a 22-11 halftime lead with neither team able to shoot better than 36 percent.
It didn't get much better for the offenses in the second half until Oklahoma State started to score in transition to break the game open.

A PERFECT HOLIDAY GIFT
When the Rain Returns: Toward Justice and Reconciliation in Palestine and Israel
The book collects a number of potent stories, and provides real life images that vividly bring to life the reality of the current situation in a way few documents do...with deep sensitivity, empathy, and compassion to both sides. Jonathan Kuttab, Palestinian human rights lawyer and activist; member of the Sabeel board of Directors, Jerusalem
This book has a richness and texture in taking the story of the people and the dimensions of the conflict beyond its borders. Two aspects of this work will draw attention: what it says about two states vs. one state as possible outcomes and the position on the Palestinian refugees as a party whose views must be taken into account to reach a just and lasting peace. -- Nadia Hijab, Executive Director of the Palestine Center, Washington, D.C.
Maps, statistics, news clips, and even rigorous scholarly analysis can only go so far in conveying the complex, multi-level struggles of Israelis and Palestinians. For even the best informed observers, When the Rain Returns will enrich and enliven understanding of the human suffering inflicted by political projects run amok and of the injustices and fears associated with predicaments that hold both Israelis and Palestinians in their grip. -- Ian S. Lustick, Bess W. Heyman Professor of Political Science, University of Pennsylvania
Authors include Deborah Gerner, KU Professor of Political Science
This book is available for $15 at the Raven Bookstore or order from your local bookstore or by contactingthe American Friends Service Committee at 215-241-7058 (http://www.afsc.org/resources/ordering/ordering_information.htm)

KU Info started during the upheaval and turmoil of the Vietnam War. Rumors were spreading around the University of Kansas campus about classes being canceled, policy changes and, specifically, details concerning the April 1970 burning of the Kansas Union.

On May 8, 1970, a committee of concerned students named Students Mobilized for Peace created a rumor-control phone number on campus. The line was initially meant to be temporary, but so many students called that it soon became permanent.
Laura Rose Barr, Chicago, Ill., junior answers the phone at the KU Info desk in Anschutz Library.
The newly named University Information Center was opened July 17, 1970, on a regular basis. The center was located in 105 Strong Hall, and the vice chancellor for student affairs provided a budget.
The center eventually moved away from controlling rumors and became one of the University's premier sources of information for students.
"The primary goal of the KU Information Center is to act as a reliable source of information for the University community," said Shirley Gilham, director of the center in 1971, according to a Sept. 27, 1971 Kansan article.
John Tran/KANSAN
In response to the possible elimination of KU Info after its funding was cut, Student Senate passed a resolution on Sept.10, 2002, that maintained KU Info as a phone line.
The KU Libraries eventually picked up KU Info.
"We brought them in because we saw it as an opportunity to enhance the range of service we provide," said Bill Myers, director of library development.
After its move into Anschutz Library, KU info isn't what it used to be

On the other end of the line, a young woman began to speak frantically. She'd just been attacked on campus and didn't know what to do. She called the only number she could remember.
864-3506. KU Info.
KUinfo isn't what it used to be
"We were the number in that moment of crisis that she could remember, that she trusted and that she used, and I think that says it all," said Joe White,
Dodge City senior and the KU Info worker who took the call.
For more than 30 years, KU Info has been students' dependable source for any question, from serious to silly. Need to know how to add or drop a class? Call KU Info. How about knowing just how many trees there really are on campus? 864-3506.
Student employees of KU Info have manned the phones around the clock — sometimes 24 hours a day — and answered thousands of calls over the
years. Today, however, this student service is becoming a shadow of its former self. Fewer and fewer calls are coming in, and the students answering the phones are now a part of the library system, gaining extra duties and chores. Since moving from the Kansas Union to Anschutz Library a year ago, KU Info workers — 16 students — worry that the tradition of their beloved organization is disappearing.

Student Senate has been working throughout the semester on initiatives proposed by the KUnited coalition. The initiatives were the coalition's campaign platforms from last spring's election.
In the coming semester, expect to see more action in the biodiesel fuel initiative, the environmental initiative, wireless Internet access, University-wide file sharing and online course evaluations.

"We're still trying to address those concerns," said Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president. Dunlap, Leawood senior, couldn't say when the trial would be next semester, for how long the trial would last
or how many buses would be involved.
A change of this magnitude requires research and time, he said.
Environmental sustainability initiative
A hub to improve environmental efficiency at the University is the charge of the Sustainability Task Force, said Jeff Severin, task force chairman.
A hub doesn't necessarily mean a building, Severin said, but could mean a set of meetings to discuss environmental initiatives and implement programs across campus.
A key aspect of the initiative is to include student involvement and research. The task force will discuss ways to bring together all of the environmental initiatives into a cohesive whole to improve efficiency.
The task force will create a recommendation on the sort of structure that will benefit the University and the Lawrence community most, Severin said.
Areas the task force is researching include recycling, waste reduction, the campus landscape, biodiversity and energy efficiency.

Wrecks leading cause of student deaths
Nine KU fatalities occured this semester, highest since 2001-2002
BY AMANDA O'TOLE
otoleo@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WINTER
Throughout the past five months, fatalities within the University of Kansas community have been frequent front-page news. At least nine people from the University have died.
The leading cause of student deaths was car accidents, she said.
Jane Tuttle, assistant to the dean of students, said the number of fatalities was high this semester.
In the 2003-2004 academic year, four students died. Eight students died in the 2002-2003 academic year and 13 died from 2001-2002. Car accidents are the number one cause of all of the past few years' deaths.
Tuttle, who often works with the family of deceased students, said because of traffic accidents, she expected to lose a student during every holiday, and was surprised when a death did not occur.

Despite the higher number of fatalities, DeSalvo said he hadn't seen many students ask for counseling.
If grief reactions, like loss of appetite or depression, last longer than 10 days to two weeks, DeSalvo said a student should consider coming into Watkins' Counseling and Psychological Services to talk to a professional.

SafeRide operating New Year's
Drinking and driving won't have to be a problem this New Year's Eve because of SafeRide.
The service will be operating from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. Dec. 31. SafeRide provides students with rides home from campus and bars and parties in Lawrence. SafeRide will pick up students anywhere within city limits. Drivers ask students to show their KUIDs, but students won't be denied rides without them, said Blake Huff, Transportation co-coordinator.
The Transportation Board, which oversees the KU on Wheels program, decided to provide the service on New Year's Eve to ensure students' safety, said Anton Bengtson, Transportation Board member.
About three cars will be running on New Year's Eve, said Tim Akright, Transportation co-coordinator. He predicted between 60 and 80 calls for the night based on statistics from past years. This is the third year SafeRide has operated on New Year's Eve.
SafeRide's usual hours of operation are 10:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., seven days per week, while school is in session.
The average wait time for SafeRide is between 15 and 30 minutes, said Akright, Overland Park senior. He said wait times depended on where in the city students were and weather conditions.
To contact SafeRide, call 864-SAFE.

How to enjoy Dec. 25 as a non-Christian
By Stephanie Lovett, Jayplay writer
Though he is an atheist, Andrew Stangl isn't too bothered by Christmas wishes. But he knows some astheists who are. Stangl, Wichita sophomore, tells the story of a friend who was wished a "Merry Christmas" by an acquaintance. Stangl's friend explained to the person that he didn't celebrate Christmas, but the man insisted on spreading his Christmas greetings. So on Darwin Day, the Feb. 16 holiday celebrating the life of Charles Darwin, Stangl's friend ran into the acquaintance again and wished him a "Happy Darwin Day." When the man expressed his dismay, Stangl's friend pointed out the inconsistency in wishing holiday greetings to someone who doesn't celebrate the holiday.
brate the holiday. Christians may account for the sizable majority of Americans — 86 percent according to the 2000 U.S. Census — but some 20 million Americans either adhere to another religion or none at all. If you are one of those people, Dec. 25 likely leaves you without school or work to go to, but little to do. Most restaurants, shopping centers and other avenues for entertainment close on Christmas Day. And most other religions don't hold special services. Christmas is irrelevant to non-Christians the same way non-Christian holidays are irrelevant to Christians, says Dru Greenwood of the Union for Reform Judaism. What's a non-Christian to do on this day of relative freedom? Here are some suggestions.

Check out a movie, or two
Mike Khadavi understands what it's like to be bored on Dec. 25. Being Jewish, Christmas morning doesn't bring the anticipation of presents. "You wake up on Christmas morning and remember there isn't shit to do," the Overland Park senior says. Khadavi's solution is to call some other non-Christians and go to a movie. Then the group gets some food and goes to another movie, he says. Christmas is a great time to go to the movies because so many people are at home with their families. And there's all those holiday releases. You can also rent a movie. Most video stores are open for the holiday.
Hit a Chinese buffet
If smelling all that scrumptious Christian cooking is making you hungry, head to the only restaurant that's likely to be open: your neighborhood Chinese buffet. Jews especially go to Chinese restaurants on Christmas, says Dana Silverman, Houston sophomore. Silverman says she and her family, who are Jewish, eat Chinese food every Christmas. Chinese restaurants are a Jewish gathering place on Dec. 25. "It's a big Jewish party," Silverman says.

Attend a wedding
Attend a wedding
The Christmas holiday is a common time for Muslim couples to marry, says Asma Rehman, Kansas City, Mc., senior. Rehman, who is Muslim, says Muslim weddings last for about six days, with the main social aspects occurring over the course of three nights. True, if you don't know anyone who is getting married during the holiday this may not help you. But think ahead for next year and encourage your engaged Muslim friends to tie the knot over Christmas. It's an idea anyway.
Bank some bling
Bank some bling
Though many businesses close on Christmas Day, not all do. If you work somewhere that stays open on the holiday, you may be able to make some extra cash. April Wyrick, Lawrence resident and atheist, doesn't mind working on Christmas Day. Wyrick says the holiday doesn't hold much meaning to her. But the main incentive is the time-and-a-half pay she
receives at her job on Dec. 25. Even if your job doesn't pay extra, think of the favors your co-workers will owe you if you volunteer to work for someone.
If you can't beat 'em...
Clearly, if you don't want to celebrate Christmas you shouldn't. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the secular part of the holiday. That's what Hamdan Alharbi, Jebbah, Saudi Arabia, senior, did last year. Alharbi, who is Muslim, stayed with a friend during the holiday and spent Christmas Day with his friend's family. He was treated to a nice meal and got to experience the holiday for the first time. If you join a friend's Christmas celebration, you are guaranteed free food, and there's always a chance you'll get a present. Of course, you should invite your friend to a holiday you celebrate to make the cultural exchange complete.

Last-minute gift ideas
A couple of Decembers ago, my friend Maria called to tell me she was driving over to give me a gift. I panicked — I had nothing for her. All you need is a few minutes to come up with a personal holiday gift. Sherri Athay, author of Present Perfect and founder of GiftElan.com, suggests going to the nearest

How students cope when they can't go home for the holidays

By Joe Bant, Jayplay writer
This holiday season marks two time-sensitive Araoz last saw his native Bolivia shrink beneath clouds as his jet liner roared back to the U.S.
That one blissful month he spent in his home, the summer after his freshman year is the only time been home since leaving to attend the University fall 2001.

Araoz isn't alone in his holiday woes. For varying reasons, many University students don't, or can't go home for winter break. International students often splurge on $1,000 plane tickets if they want the opportunity, and sometimes, ever students who live here in Kansas can't find a way back to their families. For many, it's a sad situation, but one that can be coped with in various ways. Mikel Trail spent his first Christmas away from home last year. The 22-year-old Lawrence resi attended University classes last fall, while working at Wilson's Leather at the Oak Park Mall in Over- land Park. Trail says he realized he'd be on his own for Christmas as soon as he saw that week's work schedule, which
called for him to do double duty the day before Christmas and the day after. Trail's family doesn't live that far away — about six hours northwest of Lawrence in Atwood — but with no time off surrounding Christmas Day, it was far enough to keep him in Lawrence. "It almost feels like you're being punished for working in retail," he says. So instead of
mom's pumpkin pie and opening presents by the Christmas tree, Trail got his gifts by mail and had a bare-bones celebration with a "pseudo-family" of friends who also been stranded by their jobs. Together they wolfed down the typical holiday fare of turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes, and Trail says it was fun, even if it wasn't exactly home. "It definitely helps," he says. "It doesn't completely fill the void."
helps," he says. "It doesn't completely fit in with Trail's actions are consistent with what most psychologists suggest if you find yourself alone for the holidays. Find people in the same boat as you, so at least that way you can be there together. "It's important to connect to people somehow," says Helen Weiser, director of Midtown Psychological Services in Kansas City, Mo. "If you don't have anyone to share it with, it can be a time of sadness and loneliness."
can be a time of sadness and loneliness.
Weiser says people should start preparing now if they're expecting a lonely holiday season, because now there's still time to do something about it. People can make arrangements with friends or co-workers or look into volunteering in the community, she says. The last place you want to be is in your apartment alone on New Years Eve, only then starting to wonder what you can do to not be by yourself.
wonder what you can do to not be by yourself.
Weiser emphasizes that there are many ways to make a holiday connection with people and to not feel alone, and not all of them involve in-person interactions with friends and family. Sometimes it can be as easy as slipping a greeting card into the mailbox or going door-to-door with some volunteer carolers, and places like nursing homes or orphanages always look for people to spend time with residents, Weiser says. The options are there if people take advantage of them.
For international students, in particular, organizations across the country place foreign students with American host families for the holidays. Carol Dias da Silva, program coordinator for the University's international student services, says she recommends students to Christmas International House if they want to take part in such a program.
if they want to take part in such a project.
For his part, Arazov has had eventful holidays, even if they weren't spent at his home in La Paz. His freshman year he and a friend booked a Greyhound bus to San Francisco, and he spent some 40-plus hours chugging across the western half of the country in a cramped, claustrophobic bus. Though it wasn't the best road trip then — "We couldn't feel our butt," he says, remembering how they felt when they finally reached the bayside city — he smiles about it wistfully now.

"How do I look in this?" is a question that women inevitably ask at some point or another if not on a regular basis, and a question that men dread. With this question,
thoughts run wild as one begins to question his self if the honest answer is the best answer or if a little white ile would be the best bet of the two options. "I think to myself 'Oh crap.' Where is this going? when I hear this. There is no right answer. It's best to err on the side of Good comment," says Jordan Smith, St. Joseph senior. Of course everyone wants to hear compliments but sometimes homely is needed. Elizabeth Blasco, Mission senior, says there is a certain way approach this question. "Honesty is fine but the way I would receive
the information best is if it was put to me in a suggestive manner," Blasco says. She suggests that men should respond to this question with something along the lines of "I would really like to see you in some red, or I think you would look best in a longer skirt." Either way, men beware when you hear this question come your way. Sometimes honesty isn't the best pole but a flattering remark that contains slight honesty in it can take you a long way.

[What's your "big number"?]
Q
I'm going home for the holidays with my new boyfriend's family, but I'm unsure about the sleeping situation and leaving a good impression. How do I deal? —Keri, sophomore
a
Jessi: It's that time of year to meet the "in-laws." Even if you're not serious, it's still a good idea to present yourself realistically. Be yourself, but if your true self curses like a sailor, I'd alter your discourse with his folks for both your sakes. As for the sleeping situation, ask your boyfriend about the sleeping arrangement, and chances are, they do. Also, say "please" and "thank you!"
Chris: Ask your boyfriend. He knows how open-minded or conservative his folks are. If they have a guest bedroom you'll probably be there. Or maybe your BF will sleep on the couch and you'll crash in his room. Or maybe you'll have a cool tent in the backyard to hang out in. Or maybe you could make a cool fort with the couch cushions and blankets.
Q
and blankets.
I've been dating a girl for about two months now, ar.d I don't know what to get her for Christmas. What are some gift ideas?
—Braven, junior
Jessi: Awww. I think there are definite guidelines to shopping for a significant other. For instance, undergarments are unacceptable in the beginning. Put yourself in her shoes for when her mom calls to ask what you got her... "uhhh... He got me this black, silky..." I think at this point, get things unique to her. If she likes coffee, a Starbucks gift basket, or if she's a reader, a new book. Ask her friends for more ideas.
Chris: Ask her friends. They'll tell your girlfriend that you asked, but that will earn you points. Don't get exactly what they suggest, but use the advice as a starting point. You can't go wrong with a basket of things she likes. It's more fun for her to open smaller individual gifts than one more expensive gift.
I've been talking to this girl, and the "big number" [number of people] I've slept with) came up in conversation. When she asked, I changed the subject. I've slept with more than 22 women. Should I lie and tell her a smaller number, or do what I think is the right thing and be truthful? Jay, senior
Q
a
Chris: Don't have this talk before you have sex or when you're out at the bars. It's better to discuss this stuff when you're both thinking clearly. Go on a walk in the park so you can focus on one another. Then I'd lie and tell her a bigger number, like 84. Then if she freaks out and is like "84!? How have you slept with 84 people!?" you can be like, "Gotcha! It's only 22!" And 22 will sound better than 84.
Jessi: It sounds like you're semi-serious about this girl, meaning a relationship is a possibility. If that's so, be truthful and make her aware of your sexual history. But make sure she's someone you can trust and not someone looking to spread around your number.

Sensible violence
Sometimes you have to beat up your best friends to find out who you really are.
By Robert Riley, Jayplay writer, photos by Joshua Kendall
feel a cool, refreshing breeze as it caresses the fresh blood leaking out of my right elbow. Lance Yoder, one of my best friends, is pinning my head to the ground while I struggle with every fiber of my being to free myself from his grip. His elbow slides under my chin to crush my throat, primarily as a distraction. He is giving me advice, but it is hard to hear over the involuntary pig-like grunting noise coming from the back of my trachea. Suddenly, I feel his knee crushing my free-floating pain. The pain is intense, but tolerable. More importantly, my friend has made an error in judgment. The stability he has lost by taking his knee off of the ground gives me more than enough room to turn the tide. Living on my back, I shoot my arm straight toward the sky as I tighten my abs to roll up, and literally switch positions with Yoder in one ballistic movement. The game has changed. The dominant position is now mine, and I am not going to give it up easily. From this point on my objective is to trap one of his limbs, or his neck in a hold, and crank on until he has to tap the mat — or whatever he can reach — to avoid more serious ramifications. Yoder and I are sparring in a mixed martial arts match, a sport we have been practicing for the last two years. The sport has consumed my life from the moment I
first watched it, and I am definitely not alone.
alone. For people who practice mixed martial arts, or MMA, it is a journey. The sport is physically painful and exhausting, but has great rewards. MMA is not a sport for barbaric, meat-headed powerhouses. It's a thinking person's sport, more akin to chess. Every movement is a mistake or a success. Each time you advance or retreat, you give up position and opportunities. To every move there is a counter move — the game is infinite. Kristin Doeblin, Wichita senior, hast trained in MMA since 1999, and says that to her, MMA is all about strategy. She says in addition to having well-planned fighting techniques, you must respond to each challenge and attempt concisely.
concisely. MMA is basically a mixture of two forms of fighting: stand-up fighting and grappling or ground fighting. A fighter must practice both to be successful. Grappling consists of sports like American wrestling, Judo/Jui-Jitsu, Brazilian Jui-Jitsu, Sambo, submission wrestling and Japanese professional wrestling. All are forms of fighting that do not involve directly striking your opponent. Stand-up sports which are more popular in the United States, include boxing, kick-boxing, or Muay Thai, Karate and Tae Kwon Do. The
largest event for MMA in the United States is the Ultimate Fighting Championship, which has evolved from savage bar fighting in a cage to a refined competition for remarkable athletes.
The sport has undergone a series of changes but has always been fairly simple. The fighters wear only shorts, a protective cup and special gloves. The gloves are fingerless with an open palm to facilitate grappling, and have four to six ounces, about a half inch, of padding to cover the knuckles. Yet, the gloves are not padded for the benefit of the person getting hit. The gloves prevent the fighter's hands from being injured when they strike. The rules for MMA events vary, but most competitions have made head-butts, strikes to the groin, eye gouging and hair pulling illegal. Head-butts were previously allowed in most MMA competitions, but the results were quite brutal and messy. There are a few ways to win a match in MMA. The obvious one is to knock out your opponent, but you can also submit him or her.
him or her. Submissions are a subtle and beautiful thing and can happen in the blink of an eye. When a submission hold is applied effectively, the fighter has nowhere else to move to avoid injury and must tap out for the opponent to let go of the hold. Most
holds use the leverage of your limbs to put pressure on your opponents joints, threatening to tear or eventually snap them. Some submissions are intended to cut off oxygen to the brain by closing off the airway or arteries in the neck. MMA competitions are often called no-holds-barred matches, meaning that there are no holds that the fighters are prohibited from using. The fight can also end if a fighter is in no condition to intelligently defend himself or has incurred an injury that prevents him from completing the match. The fighters 'corner can throw in the towel to stop the fight, or the fighters may simply run out of time.
time. People often become infatuated with MMA after exposure to an event such as the UFC. I can recall watching the original UFC with Yoder in vivid detail. The first UFC was a true experiment in Mixed Martial Arts. The event was set up tournament style, and nobody knew quite what to expect. There were boxers, traditional martial artists, submission wrestlers and one man who would become a living legend, Royce Gracie. Each fighter tried to strike or wrestle his way to victory, but the out-muscled, outweighed, and seemingly frail Brazilian stood fearlessly before his gladiatorial competitors. Once a fighter was upon him, he fought from under-

neath, negating their every move. He choked out challenger after challenger in the same calm and effortless manner. Gracie's Brazilian Jui-Jitsu focused mainly on grappling, but also on gaining a superior position to strike from. The exhibition revolutionized martial arts and proved that if a fighter didn't know how to handle himself in a ground fight, his career would be very short indeed. Grappling soon became a prerequisite for any serious mixed martial artist. Every successful MMA fighter in the world should have Jui-Jitsu or some other form of grappling in his or her bag of tricks before even thinking about stepping into the ring.
ad with such as original The first Married Marrament what to additional letters and living leg tried to y, but the seemingly before his a fighten undering about stepping into the ring. The Gracie family is pioneers of Brazilian Jui-Jitsu or BJJ, a form of Jui-Jitsu developed by the legendary family in Brazil. The fighting clinic Royce held at the first UFC caused a shockwave of BJJ popularity extending to our very own Student Recreation Fitness Center. Last year I met Dave Durnil, who now teaches BJJ professionally, but was president of the KU Jui-Jitsu club at the time. Durnil has practiced Jui-Jitsu and MMA for 10 years, but we both got hooked the same way. He says it all started when he saw the first Ultimate Fighting Championship. Durnil says that since he started training he has become more calm, humble, and aware of himself. He says, "It isn't about being a tough guy. You get your ass kicked a thousand times
before you kick someone else's." The KU Brazilian Jui-Jitsu Club is an extension of the Carlos Gracie Jr. Gracie Barra Jui-Jitsu team. Yoder and I were definitely learning while we beat the crap out of each other on some sweaty old wrestling mats in my garage, but after attending the club at the University of Kansas. Durnil taught me what a difference refined instruction can make. As Durnil says "Life is conflict. Technique makes us civilized."
the sportsmanship involved in MMA is another of its striking aspects. After scraping relentlessly for victory and trying to destroy the person in front of them, the fighters often embrace, shake hands and bow to each other as a gesture of honor and camaraderie. Doeblin, who also now practices with the KU club, says winning and losing a match with sportsmanship is respectable. "To win with the egotistical attitude is ugly. Learning how to win and lose, and still respect your opponent is all part of the game." she says. Even when the fighters use the animosity between them as motivation for the fight, the competitors usually appear to be best friends afterward. David Tran, KU BJJ Club member, says, "Where else can two people directly take out all their aggression on each other and still shake hands afterwards."
wards." Sportsmanship and camaraderie are deeply rooted in MMA. Another sparring

partner and friend of mine, Trent Tiemeyer, says that there is rarely a grudge between him and his opponent. Tiemeyer boasts an 11-4 MMA record and has been training in martial arts for 18 years. He views competitive fighting as a training tool, just an extension of sparring in the gym. Tiemeyer says "My opponent is not my enemy before or after a match, just during." Tiemeyer is 6-feet-4 inches tall and weighs about 245 pounds with a solid black tattoo crawling up one side of his neck. His hair color varies from month to
month, but he always has the same menacingly playful grin. Tiemeyer puts his talents to good use as a bouncer at Abe and Jake's Landing and the Granada. He says that now fighting is just part of his job, but he still doesn't have any hard feelings
toward the people he tosses out.
toward the people he loves.
Although fighters aspire to compete at different levels, most of us have the same goal: Self-improvement on and off the mat. Tran says that he learns a lot every time he loses, "You see your weaknesses, and learn to not make the same mistake again." Tran says that practicing MMA has made him more calm and confident he can take care of himself. Fighters learn a lot more while training than how to tear someones arm out of the socket. Doeblin says training not only helps her physically, but also mentally and emotionally.
"Just knowing that I could easily break someone's arm, leg or choke them out is a kind of empowering thing." she says.
kind of empowering thing. For fighters like Tran and myself, the big show is in Kansas City. Adrenaline Extreme Combat hosts amateur MMA fights and grappling matches at the Beaumont Club in Kansas City, Mo., at 4050 Pennsylvania in Westport. MMA shows have started to spring up all over the United States in metropolitan areas.
Lance Yoder, KU custodian, scrambles to get his guard, a defensive position from which he can keep Robert Riley, Lawrence senior, from advancing his position. The sparring session ranges from slow and intricate positioning such as this, to lightning-fast reversals and submission attempts. After five minutes of game scraping, Riley pulls off a sneaky arm bar once Yoder has the top position. A common misconception when it comes to ground fighting is that the person on top always has the dominant position, but an opponent on his or her back has numerous devastating submissions to choose from.
DURNIL SAYS THAT SINCE HE STARTED TRAINING HE HAS BECOME MORE CALM, HUMBLE, AND AWARE OF HIMSELF. HE SAYS "IT ISN'T ABOUT BEING A TOUGH GUY. YOU GET YOUR ASS KICKED A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE YOU KICK SOMEONE ELSE'S."

in metropolitan areas. The sport is enjoying a newfound popularity and acceptance that was never thought possible. In fact, MMA events were once illegal in the United States thanks to John McCain, (R-Ariz.) who labeled the sport
human cockfighting, and lobbied to blacklist the sport fromPayPer-View as well as American soil. From 1997 to 2001 fans were forced to wait patiently for months until their local video store received the forbidden fruit. Fans were sometimes
forced to rent tapes from porno shops in order to see their favorite fighters in Brazil or Japan. On July 23, 2001, the Nevada State Boxing Commission adopted the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts Combat, which was originally drafted in New Jersey. The change in rules included five new weight classes, rounds, time limits and a list of more than 30 fouls. Fortunately, the new rules allowed the sport to resurface under the political radar and achieve a newfound popularity enabling fighters like us to train and compete locally.
locally.
As my wins, losses and ego continually fade away, I realize more and more about who I am. Practicing MMA helps me put things into perspective and identify what is truly important in my life. I always see people staring at us at the recreation center, looking through the glass like children at a pet store. I'm sure students are wondering what the hell is going on and why anyone would want to practice this sport. I hope more people will stop looking from the outside in, and come find out what this sport is really all about.
The Guillotine
A go-to move for any ground fighter, the guillotine is an effective submission. Robert Riley, Lawrence senior, makes the mistake of shooting in for a double leg take-down with his head too low. Kristin Doeblin, Wichita senior, quickly snakes her arm underneath Riley's chin and grabs her own wrist trapping his head between her arm and ribs. As Riley takes her down, she wraps her legs around Riley's waist above his hips and locks her legs tightly by crossing her ankles. Doeblin then pulls her wrist up and to the right as she arches her back. As she chokes Riley with her arm, she pulls down on his lower body with her legs. The amount of torque created with the guillotine can easily incapacitate a much larger opponent. Riley taps the mat a couple of times to let Doeblin know that the hold has been applied effectively. The principals of Jui-Jitsu include using leverage and technique to defeat a stronger opponent.

The cries of a wailing baby ring out across the farmland, spreading in the light of a harvest moon. A mother, weeping and frantic, races out of the house to retrieve her child from the middle of a cornfield. A great black shadow moves across the land, taking the ground with it.
ER
This is the ambitious opening scene of The Empty Acre, the first feature-length film directed by Patrick Rea. Structured like a Twilight Zone episode, the film is set in a small Kansas farm town that's slowly eroding at the hands of a mysterious force - kind of like that planet-swallowing "the Nothing" from The Neverending Story, but set in Kansas. While this sounds like a metaphor for the Wel-Marting of America, the director insists his film is more about living in a small town where the life gets sucked right out of you. Rea, his uncutt stubble and dark glasses crystallizing the look of an independent filmmaker, is shooting in towns like Burlingame, Eudora and Baldwin City to capture the landscape of a farming community. He's using equipment borrowed from the film school at Oldfather Studios, including associate professor of film Matt Jacobson's 24P digital camera, so the footage will look more like film than video.
will look more like this. There's no official Director of Photography, or DP, on The Empty Acre. A DP is usually there to light the scene and choose particular shots to ensure the story is ending up on camera and the director has enough coverage to edit the film. Instead, Rea is working with a small crew on a sporadic schedule, and whoever has the time
to show up gets the job,it's basically a no-budget film,dependent upon a few favors,a little luck and a lot of hard work,though Rea hopes to get a grant. "For the actors," he says.
Beginnings
Rea was inseparable from his diminutive leading man throughout high school. The pair would crop up at the local bowling alley to shoot a movie to
shoot a movie to broadcast over the student television station. Curious bowlers would materialize as Rea carefully placed the little guy at the end of a lane, setting up his master shot. "There's that silly son-of-a-bitch with his garden gnome," they would say.
even know what a director is.
A native of Schuyler, Neb., a small town not unlike the one featured in The Empty Acre, Rea enrolled in the University of Kansas in the fall of 2000. Studying under Kevin Willmott and Matt Jacobson, the director and cinematographer, respectively, of this year's Sundance sensation CSA: The Confederate States of America, Rea became one of the film school's most prolific students. He served as president of KU Filmworks from 2001 to 2002. In the group, students submit screenplays and then members vote on which ones they'll go out and shoot. Jacobson, the group's faculty advisor, saw Rea as a source of inspiration for other students, challenging them to attain the same level of productivity.

ity.
With fellow film student Ryan Jones, Rea formed a production company called Senoreality Productions in March 2002. The company's first short film was The Walls, with Rea writing and directing and Jones designing the sound and special effects. In the film, a tenant discovers the walls of his new apartment have feelings. Cries of pain (voiced by Rea) ring out as the tenant hangs up his furnishings along the walls. The Hollywood Scarefest, an annual festival for horror shorts, picked up The Walls in 2002.

Blood Drive: America's Best Short Horror Films, hosted by shock rocker and House of 1,000 Corpse director Rob Zombie and funded by industry-of-gore magazine Fangoria. Koch Vision Entertainment released Fangoria Blood Drive in June; you can rent the DVD at Hastings Books, Music & Video, 1900 W 23rd St.
Rea began hanging out at Jones' place to work late nights. Wade Burtchet, who lived with Jones at the time, remembers Rea becoming like a third roommate, until finally the three just decided to move in together. Now, Burtchet says Rea is rarely home because he's out
An industry of gore
Of the nearly 30 short films Rea has directed, most fall under the category of sci-fi horror. This has as much to do with personal creative drive as it does with marketability. Two of his films - AMan and His Finger and Disturbances - were selected for the compilation Fangoria
1900 W 23rd St. Filmmakers often spend their early years wallowing in buckets of blood.The
years career of Sam Raimi, the director of the Spider-Man movies, represents one of the most famous examples. In the early '80s, he and Bruce Campbell journeyed into the Tennessee woods to shoot a horror movie about an ancient Book of the Dead. Shooting on 8mm, a bargainfrom page to screen. Rea says it's easy to despair when working on a feature-length script, when the material is untested as it goes through successive rewrites. Part of the reason why he's been able to make so many films with so little money in just a few years has to do with the technological innovations that have galvanized the independent film
8mm, a bargain basement film stock, the duo eventually emerged with an epic called The Evil Dead that would make them cult heroes. (Notably, Raimi's career began to take off when Fangoria lavished him with attention later than decade.) Then there's Oscar-winning New Zealand filmmaker Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings). Jackson is responsible for some of the goriest fright films of all time.Paying for the first of these, Bad Taste, with the salary he made as a photo engraver at a daily newspaper, Jackson built his own dolly tracks and did all of the production work with just one other crewmember.
Notice how directors are always shown doing something with their hands? Rea is no exception as he shows an actor how wide the next camera angle will be.
CROSS
As Rea says, "Gore sells."
Formidable odds
Rea says he'd prefer not to make horror movies forever. "Eventually you have to make something exploitative. I'm interested in stuff that's more subtle," he says. But if he's on a set directing for a living, he'll have achieved his goals. To appreciate the kind of accomplishment that would be, consider that for this year's Sundance Film Festival, there were 688 submissions for the dramatic competition alone. Willmott, who in addition to directing CSA has written never-filmed screenplays for Alexander director Oliver Stone, knows firsthand the difficulty of getting your work produced and your name recognized. Roughly 90 percent of the screenplays commissioned by the major Hollywood studios each year never make the leap from page to screen.
movement over the last decade.
movement over the landscape When South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were making films at the University of Colorado in 1992, the Avid Film Composer computer system was still in its infancy. Before the Avid, film was often edited on a moviola, where you're dealing with the actual film instead of images on a computer. Also, digital cameras, which multiplied the quality of video

and boosted the interests of distributors in movies shot on video, were still years away. "Now you can do so much of it with a video camera and a laptop," Stone says. "We didn't have any of that stuff when I was in school." Instead of concentrating on production value, he and
Parker would concentrate on the script. "You're never going to get good production value at a student level," Stone says. "Forget about spending your money on really cool-looking stuff, because it's all about story and character." If Parker and Stone had $1,000 to spend, they would write three scripts and spend it on three movies. Quantity was everything, and the same is true today, whether you're using an Avid like Rea is or a moviola like Parker and Stone were before they hit it big - with a festive piece of holiday poop.
Fahrenheit 2004
Before The Empty Acre, Rea's most ambitious project was Patterns of Thread, a short film adaptation of Ray Bradbury's story Embroidery. Rea was relentless in pursuing the famous sci-fi author of CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE
12.9.04 duplay
CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Fahrenheit 451 for the copyrights. Bradbury finally relented, and even sent Rea appreciative letters after the film was finished this year. Directed by Rea and shot on film by Jacobson, Patterns of Thread is the simple story of three old ladies who sit knitting on a porch reminiscing as they wait for a mysterious "experiment" to take place. The film concludes with an impressive nuclear explosion, computer animated by Jones.
'The Empty Acre'
On a cool October morning in Baldwin City, Rea is shooting his Titanic scene. The mysterious force is about to swallow the
town's police station, and the chief of police is going down with the ship. Ari Bavel, a veteran of short films shot in the Lawrence area who appeared in A Few Miles Back, is dressed up in a smart police uniform, playing the chief. Rea recounts how he and Jones were walking down Mass Street one afternoon. Rea said to Jones, "We need a police uniform." A man passing them on the sidewalk turned and said, "I'm an ex-cop."
Between takes Rea swivels in an armchair, keeping his actors in good spirits as the crew sets up lights. When John Waters, filmdom's "Pope of Trash," visited Lawrence in April 2002, Rea and some of the faculty at Oldfather went out to dinner
Rea discusses a scene with one of his stars. Independent filmmakers often find potential actors at acting agencies, which keep thick portfolios filled with head shots.
with him. Instead of discussing Waters'infamous early films like Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble, all Rea wanted to talk about was the director's guest appearance on The Simpsons.
Tom Davis, who's playing Deputy McCurry, says of Rea's directing style: "Very anal-retentive, but properly so." Rea is famous for shooting many takes. Davis was found in the same place most amateur actors are found: At an acting agency in a thick portfolio with page after page of wannabe stars.
For all of the excitement on display in those behind-the-scenes documentaries that help sell DVDs these days, filmmaking is mostly about sitting around and waiting. On the set, an arcane conversation is taking place between Jones and crewmember Bobby McGee about how to film a shot where sunlight is flooding in through a window. Without the proper filter on the camera or jell on the window, instead of natural colors the footage will show up with a blue tint. This is just one of the many small headaches that make up the filmmaking process. Like most independent filmmakers who can't afford to pay their crews to show up, Rea's biggest obstacle is getting people to the set. "Once we start shooting, it's so relaxing," he says.
Career advice
As his crew readies for the last of the day's shooting, Rea smokes cigarettes on the sidewalk in downtown Baldwin. He has only one bit of advice to give to prospective filmmakers. "Just do it," he says. "People always talk about it and never go out and do it. We don't talk about it."

Why are you staying in Lawrence for New Year's Eve? Is it because:
You live here?
By Chris Crawford, Jayplaywriter
You don't want to spend it in Overland Park again, doing drugs off Steve's parents' Hummer in the garage, while yelling at a drunk blonde chick that she should play Eminem and not Maroon 5?
Your family's tractor broke down, so they can't drive you back to Bumblefather, Kan.?
inLawrence
You came here from a foreign land, far from Lawrence, and dig the "super-fine American sorority foxes" and Natty Light too much to ever go home?
In reality, you might not want to drive to Kansas City and battle oversold, overpriced mega-events only to get in a fight with a tuxedo-print T-shirt-wearing douche with no teeth, after he pukes on your new Christmas present kicks. You can do that here.
So, if you're lucky enough to ring in the New Year in L-town, check out these five events happening Dec. 31.
A guide to New Year's Eve for those stuck in town
The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. Bluegrass band Split Lip Rayfield will do the honors, as it did last year, pickin' and a rockin' in the New Year. Bartender Chris Miller describes the crowd from last year as, "a mix of old hippies, hillbillies and fratty-types." The best and one of the only New Year's stories anyone could remember came last year when Miller says a door guy caught an old, grizzled biker couple having sex on the men's room floor. After being asked to stop, they celebrated the
venue
rest of the night upright with everyone else. And after all that debauchery ceased, The Bottleneck set its highest single-day liquor sales record in the last five to 10 years, which included about 80 bottles of champagne. Get there early, because it sold out last year. The show starts at 10 p.m., is 21+ and $14. Split Lip Rayfield will play an additional show Jan. 1.
The Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St.
Fred plays 8-track tapes of music like Iggy Pop, Duran Duran, Abba and The Cars, says Lawrence resident Jen Fortune. Fortune's attended the Replay's New Year's eight years in a row and says most people dress up, including colorful wigs and short skirts for the ladies. Bartender Amanda Meyers says that like most places, bottles of bubbly can be purchased for $10. Last year, employees tried to symbolically release a 2003 balloon and replace it with a 2004, but the 2004 balloon blew away before they could tie it down. The event starts at 10 p.m., is 21+ and$ 2.
11. Let your freak flag fly at The Replay's New Year's bash. A "DJ" only known as
Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St.
DJ Nick Reddell will spin you right round, baby at Abe & Jake's $3^{rd}$ Annual New Year's Eve party. A complimentary champagne toast at midnight will correspond with a balloon drop, says general manager Mike Logan. And if you periodically wear an "I'm #f" hat and feel you're better than the rest of the sweaty herd, you can rent one of four private rooms featuring your own bartender or server. The prices ranging from $150 to$ 450. The event starts at 10 p.m., is 21+, and $10 at the door.
The Granada Theatre, 1020 Massachusetts St.
What, more DJs? For those of you old enough to vote but not old enough to booze, you should check out 18+, Stayin' Alive in 2005 with DJ Konsept and DJ Cruz at The Granada. The Neon DJs will spin '80s and early '90s jams. The event starts at 9 p.m. and is $10.
Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St.
If you missed your senior prom or became a huge loser in college and constantly yearn to return to the high school womb, check out the Red Lyon's '80s prom-themed New Year's. Rent an ugly tuxedo, buy a used pink, puffy dress and pop and lock your ass over to the Lyon. Show up early, there's no cover and bring your ID.

Egg Nog
The holidays are almost here, and you know what that means: Grandma's going
to be hanging around
the egg nog bowl again. Hey, she has good taste. Egg nog is the perfect holiday treat because it caters to the lazy man: All you have to do is buy a carton from the dairy aisle, dump some liquor in, and party like it's 2005. But since this time of year tends to bring out the domestic Stepford Wives side of a lot of us, here's a delicious recipe that you can whip up for Grandma in no time. So, in honor of this holiday
I'll just stick to the text.
The image contains a black-and-white photograph of a clear glass mug filled with a frothy, creamy beverage. The mug is placed on a flat surface, likely a table or countertop. The background is blurred and indistinct, making it difficult to discern any additional details. The focus is clearly on the mug itself. There are no visible texts or other objects in the image.
the finished product is deceptively smooth. You don't want to pass out before
season, make a toast to friends, family, good tidings-and possible food poisoning. No, egg nog is safe because the alcohol "cooks" the eggs, but be sure to use some common sense and your knowledge of food safety rules if you want to make your own batch. (Or, if you're still worried, add some extra liquor. That always seems to do the trick). Just be careful, because
the holiday party becomes super-awkward and entertaining, do you?

The wall behind me says "Larson blew me here." Who Larson is and whom she blew, I have no idea. Truthfully, I have to give props to Larson because the booth in which she chose to perform is stationed right next to the dartboards that are typically filled throughout the night. After losing in darts, I sit back down to my heavy glass schooner of Bud Light and check out the wall for more gems. Apparently, "Chief has a big penis." I did not know that and casually look around for Chief. No luck. Chief was probably just relaying the usual male "exaggeration," and I decide to stick to the beer and darts.

Einemem Encore
Son Ambulance Key
"Just Lose It," the first single off Eminem's fourth album, *Encore*, is one of the worst songs I've ever heard. It's tirelessly redundant. The beats are entirely unoriginal. The lyrics are utterly annoying. Yet, I think that Eminem
knows this, and the fact that this horrible song has already topped the pop charts shows that Eminem has already proven his point — that he's the one in control.
already proven in practice. As one of the most controversial and innovative rappers of all time, everyone always has high expectations for Eminem. Yet on *Encore*, the follow-up and "companion piece" to 2002's *The Eminem Show* (much like
Joe Knapp, the multi instrumentalist singer/songwriter/head honcho of the Omaha-based Son Ambulance, faced a big challenge when he and his band were in the studio recording their sophomore album, Key. He had to overcome the challenge of not sounding like every other band on Saddle Creek Records. Before, this had proved to be difficult. The band fits the "SaddleCreek sound" perfectly on its first full-length album, Euphemystic. First off, Knapp's vocals often sounded like a mix between Bright Eye's Conor Oberst and the Good Life's Tim Kasher. In addition the melodies were always distant and never over the top, while the instrumentation remained very organic. Critics easily lumped Son Ambulance in with the rest of the Saddle Creek emerging stars, and, inevitably, the band just blended in. That is, until now. On Key, Joe Knapp and
company have overcome the challenge of sounding different than every other Saddle Creek band delivering a solid release of majestic pop songs.
Grade:B
In the subgenre that is indie-pop, it is hard not to blend in with the crowd, but Son Ambulance did make a giant step in the right direction by creating dramatic epics and often experimental pop songs that are consistently both interesting and compelling. When the band is at its best, like on the richly textured "Pleasure Now," there is no one better. However, at its worst, like on "House Guest," Son Ambulance is unoriginal and boring. The stronger tracks do make up for any dullness that occasionally does occuron this album. Of course, the Saddle Creek fans will adore this release. Then again, so will most indie-pop fans.

The Marshall Mathers LP was to The Slim Shady LP), it seems like he just doesn't care, and more power to him. More artists should aspire to be like him, indeed. However, the more comfortable Eminem gets manipulating and making fun of the rest of pop culture, the less appealing his music becomes. His more personal lyrics (aka.- lyrics pertaining to his mother, his wife Kim, or his daughter Hailie) were the one thing that made the first three albums great, especially The Marshall Mathers LP. But now, hearing him rap about Kim is beginning to get old. On top of that, most of the beats and rhymes are just stale, and there's very little that is musically interesting on this album. For what's lacking musically, Eminem has to make up for with his talent, which he luckily does do well.
fuckily does so well.
We do see a different side to Eminem on Encore—at least slightly. On songs like "Toy Soldiers," which is definitely one of the stronger tracks on the album, he regrets getting involved in the Ja Rule-bashing fiasco last year. In "Mockingbird," his ode to Hailie, he
expresses a more objective view of Kim that sharply contrasts his descriptions of her on his previous albums. More so than ever, we hear a more serious and sane side of the rapper. On "Mosh," he attacks President Bush. On tracks like "Evil Deeds," his self-reflection of his life is somewhat of a confession.
Grade : Ction of his life is somewhat of a concern. Lyrically, Eminem has always been on top of his game. But while he manages to still add freshness to old topics, musically he has reached a low on Encore. And with this new glimpse of sanity and maturity from Eminem, it's easy to see him eventually sounding like many of his contemporaries, but hopefully not. Hopefully this is just a bump in the road for him. Then again, reviews like this are probably what he expected — and maybe even wanted.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Music from the Movie and More
For as long as he's been around, SpongeBob SquarePants has been relied upon to do two things: Infect each and every child in America with ADD and increase whatever interest the populace has in mind-altering chemicals. These are things that need to be done and SpongeBob has done them well. As busy as this keeps him, SpongeBob somehow found the time to star in a major motion picture and compile its surprisingly righteous musical companion. Throughout The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie soundtrack, exclusive tracks from indie rock luminaries like Wilco and The Shins are interwoven
with songs from the film in a kind of underwater cocktail party. The Flaming Lips' aptly titled "SpongeBob & Patrick Confront the Psychic Wall of Energy" slurps and chirps with glee; that 20-second gurgling sound at the end? (Suspiciously)"Is it drugs? Do you think it's drugs? I think it may be drugs. No, it couldn't be."
In one of pop culture's more bizarre moments, Motorhead appears near the soundtrack's end with the heavier than heavy "You Better Swim." This becomes even stranger when Lemmy growls "C'mon Spongey" just before someone, possibly SpongeBob himself, wrenches out an unholly solo that probably set the guitar on fire.
"The Best Day Eve," SpongeBob's only solo track, is probably the best song on the album, if only because it's one of
the best songs ever by a cartoon sponge. It's a song of hope and new beginnings. I haven't seen the movie, but I suspect it's sung after SpongeBob finally kicks his much publicized addiction to triple goober-berry sundaes. And God bless him for that.
Grade: B+ (It's actually really good)

I have no idea how to express how much and why I love Garden State. Zach Braff, that evil genius on Scrubs, wrote, directed and starred in the movie that was missing from my life. Then he goes and puts my female crush, Natalie Portman, in it and I was gone. If that wasn't enough he produced a soundtrack that took my CD player hostage for weeks on end. Not to mention he filled his Garden State with funny, genuine, smart, kill-me-now cute moments and he did it all with a style and grace that defies any other film this year.

That wily Jamie Foxx makes another standout performance in Collateral, but it's not just him. Some guy named Tom Cruise shows up, dyes his hair, suddenly loses all flashes of his former self and turns into someone truly chilling. As he visits his various victims, director Michael Mann creates something, perhaps in the camera work or in the eerie way L.A is presented or perhaps the appearance of random wolves, which was different in all the right ways.

This is more than a great comic book movie: it's a great movie. Period. With spot-on acting, complex character development and smart writing to match the spectacular action,

Sideways might be the first road-buddy/wine connoisseur movie.

9. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
The most visually original movie of the year, Sky Captain is a throwback to serial radio shows from the '30s. Jude Law is perfectly cast as the dashing pilot and so is Gwyneth Paltrow as a nosy reporter. Shot entirely in front of a blue screen, the film has a hazy, surreal appearance that it's like watching a living dream.

Quentin Tarantino's first movie in five
KILL BILL
no's first movie in five years is split in half, with volume 1 released in at the tail end of 2003. The film is a revenge picture and never tries to be anything else. Where volume 1 is a throwback to kung-fu movies from the '60s, 2 is an Homage to the spaghetti western
in the days of Clint Eastwood and Sergio Leone. And Uma Thurman looks pretty good kicking butt, too.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Snake. This character is infamous in the gaming realm. He could perhaps be one of the greatest character is Espionage history. Even more so than James Bond, in my opinion. And with the latest Metal Gear Solid title from Konami, Snake is cemented as that character even more so.
Also prequels seem to be very in. People have been stuffed with prequels for the past few years. So, why not go back to how Snake became known as one of the greatest soldiers alive? Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has been a game long overdue. And now that it's here,

of features
it'll take its place as one of the great sneaking games of all time.
I really want to first talk about the opening of this game. If anyone out there is a fan of the James Bond series and knows how there openings go, then it's as if
The story of this Metal Gear takes place in 1964, so it's safe to say that you are not Solid Snake (Big Boss perhaps...hmm?). You are sent to a jungle in Tselinoyarsk to
Snake Eater copy and pasted an opening from one of its openings. The sequence is beautifully done and the singing is superb. Like the movement of the skeleton snakes.
rescue a scientist held by Soviets. This story is very detailed since if just comes off the heels of the Cold War and the assassination of JFK. The world rightnow is on the brink of another World War and
America has decided to send in Snake, code-named Naked Snake, to make everything right. You soon find out that the scientist, Nikolai Stepanovich Sokolow, has been working on a weapon called the Shaggohad, a mobile walking tank capable of launching nuclear missiles.
The main premise of this game is still sneaking. Sneaking had become even more involved. The main thing that this game lacks is a radar system to tell you enemy locations. Now you must rely more heavily on first-person to see where guards are stationed. You still have tricks like being able to knock them out or just flat out kill them if you get the chance. One good way to kill with stealth is to grab a person before he can alert his comrades and slit his throat with your knife, which is perhaps my favorite means of dispensing with enemy. Now, you must also rely on being able to hide in plain sight. The way to do this is to wear the right camouflage at in the right areas. Snake is given a certain set of suits, but can find more as he travels. You have a camouflage index that tells you how well you are hidden. The higher the percent, the better chances you have of not being seen.
The boss battles are still intense. The characters you face seem to have special powers and you must use your wits to try and defeat the. Possibly one of the most intense battles is with an old man called The End. It's a Sniper Battle in the jungle and the key is to stay low and not move around. This battle is said to go on for about an hour. While you try to kill the boss, he takes his time shooting you with tranquilizers and knocks you out.
Another feature on this game is the stamina gauge below your health. Food in this game isn't used for restoring health.
You health regenerates by itself. The food is used for gaining stamina. If your stamina gauge drops too low, your actions become hindered. Such things include a rumbling stomach that may alert guards to you as well as a shaky hand when trying to aim a gun. In order to eat, Snake must hunt. You can kill things such as rats, alligators and snakes for nourishment. Also, Snake has a preference of what he likes to eat and that will depend how much stamina you gain back. Also if, you kill his prey and keep it with you for too long, it will begin to rot and may poison Snake if he eats it.
Another very involved system is the Cure system. Snake can now sustain damage such as broken limbs and bullet wounds. When this happens you must go and fix them, or Snakes performance will surely be diminished. For instance if you get into a vicious fire fight, you will have to use your knife to remove the bullet, antiseptic to clean the wound and bandages to wrap yourself up. All of these things give the game a more realistic feel to it.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is by far the most involved Metal Gear game yet. Hideo Kojima has outdone himself again. If another Metal Gear Solid game is in the works, I can't even imagine what else they can add to it. It's already a masterpiece.

Sometimes what you don't know can hurt you,or at least make you fat.

the counter. With his great paw of a hand, he slides me a sweaty dollar bill and some loose change. His jowls jiggle as he nods to signify the completion of our transaction. The sweet tone of the National Public Radio personality gives way to a well-spoken, yet agitated man, snapping me out of autopilot. In sequence, he sends bullets of facts and information streaming into my brain as raw as pure cane sugar. High fructose, fructose, feed corn, corn refineries, overweight children, obesity epidemic, type 2 diabetes, and one

word that burns into my psyche—corn syrup.
The guest on NPR quickly opens my sleepy eyes to a nationwide food production trend in which sugar had been all but completely removed from our diets. In its place, corn syrup, the very substance I will come to hold responsible for my chubby physique. The speaker continues on about corn refineries, lobbying and something about raising sugar tariffs, but one thing was clear: Corn syrup is everywhere, and it makes people fat. This oozing concentration of calories becomes my most insipid adversary, infesting almost every dimension of my diet.
My co-worker finally came to relieve me from my post, and I decided to continue my search at the Dillons on Massachusetts Street. Aisle after aisle, the alarming trend continued. Hot dogs, lunch meat, bread, cereal, ketchup, salad dressing and granola bars. On some of the products, I had to flip up the plastic flap along the seam to find out the truth. None of my favorite foods
My mind fires rapidly as my eyes dart around the convenience store. I can think of no better place to start my investigation than an individually wrapped Little Debbie pecan pie. It seems that the man on the radio has a point, the first and foremost ingredient is corn syrup. In fact, the entire Little Debbie is almost entirely composed of corn syrup. I flip product after product. The candy, the pop, the sandwiches, even the beef jerky, the syrup taints them all. I realize that unless I look in the automotive section, my chances of finding products without corn syrup are slim.
made it through the inquisition, and to be honest;it was the Sour Patch Kids that hurt the most.
I decided the only thing to do was to boycott corn syrup in all of its forms. I accepted the fact
that I would have to spend the rest of my life reading labels and ingredients. I came to terms with giving up the foods that I love. No problem I thought, I don't like pop or candy all that much anyway. I'll just drink juice, and try to eat more healthy foods. What I didn't know was how deep the rabbit hole actually went. Most of the juices sold in grocery stores have corn syrup as a main ingredient, just like pop. OK, I can handle only drinking water, let me just grab a healthy snack like a Nutri-Grain bar, and I'll be on my
way. To my surprise, the main ingredient was none other than corn syrup, and here I was under the impression that "Nutri" stood for nutrition. I had been duped into thinking that a breakfast bar was more healthy than a candy bar, shame on me. I was incensed, indignant, and therefore determined. I didn't care how hard it was going to be. I was going to stick to my game-plan to cut corn syrup out of my life, and that is exactly what I did.
Within the first two weeks I had lost more than seven pounds, and by end of the month I had lost 12. I had not changed my sedentary lifestyle, and yet after another two weeks I had lost even more weight. I started to have more energy and see muscles I had long forgotten. Label reading was easier now. The forbidden ingredient stood out from the long list like the image in a magic eye poster.
As a born again eater, I felt the need to spread the gospel of my rebirth. I talked to whoever would listen about how I heroically broke free from the bonds of corn syrup, but even as the words came out of my mouth, I knew I sounded like a conspiracy theorist health-nut. All right, so maybe there isn't a nationwide conspiracy to increase sugar tariffs high enough that food producers have no choice to use, a corn sweetener, and maybe the over consumption of corn syrup isn't responsible for an obesity epidemic or type 2 diabetes. So maybe my experiment has no real scientific basis, but my health, my happiness and my six-pack are all the proof I need.

Texas defeats North Texas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
No.14 Texas 86, North Texas 57
AUSTIN, Texas Brad Buckman scored 18 points and blocked seven shots to lead the Longhorns.
Texas (6-1), which has shot 3-pointers with abandon early this season, did most of its damage in the paint against North Texas (3-3). Jason Klotz had 14 points and LaMarcus Aldridge scored 12.
Leonard Hopkins scored 13 to lead North Texas.
The Longhorns got off to a ragged start, twice stopping the game in the first half because
they didn't have the right number of players on the court. Texas was hit with a technical foul when it had six players on the floor and later delayed a restart when it only had four.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Greg Brunner scored 23 points and the Hawkeyes held off a late rally by Northern Iowa.
Iowa (7-1) led by 13 points with more than seven minutes left in the game, but then struggled as the Panthers pulled within a point in the final minute.
Northern Iowa (3-2) had a
chance to take the lead, but Ben Jacobson, who led all scorers with 25 points, missed a 15-footer with six seconds left.
Jeff Horner added 16 points for Iowa, while Erek Hansen and Pierre Pierce each had 14.

Ukiahoma State defeats Syracuse with defense
BASKETBALL
NEW YORK — Stephen Graham scored 16 points, including two three-point plays in the final 4 1/2 minutes, and No. 5 Oklahoma State beat No. 4 Syracuse 74-60 last night in the Jimmy V Classic.
John Lucas hit a three-pointer to break that last tie and start a 17-4 run that included Graham's two big plays.
The defenses dominated in the matchup of top 5 teams, but Oklahoma State (6-0) was able to pull away from a 45-all tie with 6:32 to play as the Orange (7-1) couldn't hit from the field or the free throw line.
The game was a matchup of two of college basketball's winningest coaches. Eddie Sutton won his 761st, while Jim Boeheim stayed at 683.
Ivan McFarlin scored with 2:20 to go to cap the run and give Oklahoma State a 62-49 lead.
It didn't get much better for the offenses in the second half until Oklahoma State started to score in transition to break the game open.
Gerry McNamara hit three 3s in the closing 1:23 to get Syracuse within 66-60, but the Orange couldn't get any closer.
Josh Pace had 20 points, two off his career-high, for Syracuse, while McNamara had 18 and Hakim Warrick 13. Warrick, a career 64 percent free throw shooter, was just five-for-13 from the line and Syracuse was 7-for-22.
Oklahoma State's physical man-to-man defense and Syracuse's vaunted 2-3 zone lived up to their billings. Syracuse held a 22-21 halftime lead with neither team able to shoot better than 36 percent.
McFarlin and Joey Graham each had 16 points for Oklahoma State and McFarlin had 12 rebounds as the Cowboys finished with a 46-33 advantage on the boards.

A PERFECT HOLIDAY GIFT
When the Rain Returns: Toward Justice and Reconciliation in Palestine and Israel
The book collects a number of potent stories, and provides real life images that vividly bring to life the reality of the current situation in a way few documents do...with deep sensitivity, empathy, and compassion to both sides. -- Jonathan Kuttab, Palestinian human rights lawyer and activist; member of the Sabeel board of Directors, Jerusalem
This book has a richness and texture in taking the story of the people and the dimensions of the conflict beyond its borders. Two aspects of this work will draw attention: what it says about two states vs. one state as possible outcomes and the position on the Palestinian refugees as a party whose views must be taken into account to reach a just and lasting peace. -- Nadia Hijab, Executive Director of the Palestine Center, Washington, D.C.
Maps, statistics, news clips, and even rigorous scholarly analysis can only go so far in conveying the complex, multi-level struggles of Israelis and Palestinians. For even the best informed observers, When the Rain Returns will enrich and enliven understanding of the human suffering inflicted by political projects run amok and of the injustices and fears associated with predicaments that hold both Israelis and Palestinians in their grip. -- Ian S. Lustick, Bess W. Heyman Professor of Political Science University of Pennsylvania
Authors include Deborah Gerner, KU Professor of Political Science
This book is available for $15 at the Raven Bookstore or order from your local bookstore or by contactingthe American Friends Service Committee at 215-241-7058 (http://www.afsc.org/resources/ordering/ordering_information.htm)
THE HISTORY OF CHINA
The history of China is a long and complex one, with many different periods and cultures. It began in the 7th century BCE with the emergence of the Xia dynasty, which was one of the earliest civilizations on Earth. The Xia dynasty is often considered to be the first major Chinese civilization, but it was not the only period of Chinese history.
The Xia dynasty was followed by the Zhou dynasty, which lasted from around 700 BCE to 221 BCE. The Zhou dynasty is known for its political stability and military power. It also had a significant impact on the development of Chinese culture.
The Spring and Autumn period, which lasted from about 770 BCE to 476 BCE, was a time of great change and growth in China. It saw the rise of the Zhou dynasty and the Han dynasty, which were two of the most powerful and influential dynasties in China at the time.
The Qin dynasty, which lasted from around 221 BCE to 380 CE, was a time of relative stability and prosperity in China. It was the first major dynasty in China to be ruled by an emperor.
The Han dynasty, which lasted from around 221 BCE to 380 CE, was a time of great cultural and economic growth in China. It produced many famous works of art, including the famous painting "千里江城图" by Song dynasty artist Wu Cai.
The Qing dynasty, which lasted from around 1695 BCE to 1911 CE, was a time of significant political and social change in China. It became the most populous empire in the world during the Qing dynasty.
The Xiangshan War, which lasted from around 1695 BCE to 1701 CE, was a conflict between the Qing dynasty and the Yuan dynasty. It resulted in a significant loss of life and property.
The Tang dynasty, which lasted from around 1695 BCE to 1701 CE, was a time of great cultural and economic growth in China. It produced many famous works of art, including the famous painting "千里江城图" by Song dynasty artist Wu Cai.
The Ming dynasty, which lasted from around 1695 BCE to 1701 CE, was a time of significant political and social change in China. It became the most populous empire in the world during the Ming dynasty.

'How was KU Info started?'
KII Info started during the
KU Info started during the upheaval and turmoil of the Vietnam War. Rumors were spreading around the University of Kansas campus about classes being canceled, policy changes and, specifically, details concerning the April 1970 burning of the Kansas Union.
--in the other end of the line, a young woman began to speak frantically. She'd just been attacked on campus and didn't know what to do. She called the only number she could remember.

On May 8, 1970, a committee of concerned students named Students Mobilized for Peace created a rumor-control phone number on campus. The line was initially meant to be temporary, but so many students called that it soon became permanent.
The newly named University Information Center was opened July 17, 1970, on a regular basis. The center was located in 105 Strong Hall, and the vice chancellor for student affairs provided a budget.
Laura Rose Barr, Chicago, Ill., junior answers the phone at the KU Info desk in Anschutz Library.
The center eventually moved away from controlling rumors and became one of the University's premier sources of information for students.
"The primary goal of the KU Information Center is to act as a reliable source of information for the University community," said Shirley Gilham, director of the center in 1971, according to a Sept. 27, 1971 Kansan article.
John Tran/KANSAN
The KU Libraries eventually picked up KU Info.
"We brought them in because we saw it as an opportunity to enhance the range of service we provide," said Bill Myers, director of library development.

"We were the number in that moment of crisis that she could remember, that she trusted and that she used, and I think that says it all," said Joe White.
Dodge City senior and the KU Info worker who took the call.
For more than 30 years, KU Info has been students' dependable source for any question, from serious to silly. Need to know how to add or drop a class? Call KU Info. How about knowing just how many trees there really are on campus? 864-3506.
Student employees of KU Info have manned the phones around the clock — sometimes 24 hours a day — and answered thousands of calls over the
years. Today, however, this student service is becoming a shadow of its former self. Fewer and fewer calls are coming in, and the students answering the phones are now a part of the library system, gaining extra duties and chores. Since moving from the Kansas Union to Anschutz Library a year ago, KU Info workers — 16 students — worry that the tradition of their beloved organization is disappearing.

Student Senate has been working throughout the semester on initiatives proposed by the KUnited coalition. The initiatives were the coalition's campaign platforms from last spring's election.
In the coming semester, expect to see more action in the biodiesel fuel initiative, the environmental initiative, wireless Internet access, University-wide file-sharing and online course evaluations.

Environmental sustainability initiative

A hub doesn't necessarily mean a building, Severin said, but could mean a set of meetings to discuss environmental initiatives and implement programs across campus.
A hub to improve environmental efficiency at the University is the charge of the Sustainability Task Force, said Jeff Seiverin, task force chairman.
A key aspect of the initiative is to include student involvement and research. The task force will discuss ways to bring together all of the environmental initiatives into a cohesive whole to improve efficiency.
Areas the task force is researching include recycling, waste reduction, the campus landscape, biodiversity and energy efficiency.
The task force will create a recommendation on the sort of structure that will benefit the University and the Lawrence community most, Severin said.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Throughout the past five months, fatalities within the University of Kansas community have been frequent front-page news. At least nine people from the University have died.
Jane Tuttle, assistant to the dean of students, said the number of fatalities was high this semester.
The leading cause of student deaths was car accidents, she said.
In the 2003-2004 academic year, four students died. Eight students died in the 2002-2003 academic year and 13 died from 2001-2002. Car accidents are the number one cause of all of the past few years' deaths.
Tuttle, who often works with the family of deceased students, said because of traffic accidents, she expected to lose a student during every holiday, and was surprised when a death did not occur.

Despite the higher number of fatalities, DeSalvo said he hadn't seen many students ask for counseling.

The Transportation Board, which oversees the KU on Wheels program, decided to provide the service on New Year's Eve to ensure students' safety, said Anton Bengtson, Transportation Board member.
About three cars will be running on New Year's Eve, said Tim Akright, Transportation co-coordinator. He predicted between 60 and 80 calls for the night based on statistics from past years. This is the third year SafeRide has operated on New Year's Eve.

SafeRide will pick up students anywhere within city limits. Drivers ask students to show their KUIDs, but students won't be denied rides without them, said Blake Huff, Transportation co-coordinator.
SafeRide's usual hours of operation are 10:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., seven days per week, while school is in session.

not survived in the past," said Dr. Atul Gawande, a surgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston who researched military medicine and wrote about it in today's New England Journal of Medicine.
For every American soldier killed in Iraq, nine others have been wounded and survived — the highest rate of any war in U.S. history. They have survived thanks, in part, to armor-like vests and fast treatment from doctors on the move with surgical kits in backpacks.
"This is unprecedented. People who lose not just one but two or three extremities are people who just have
face. "How he and others like him will be able to live and function remains an open question." Gawande writes.
The journal also published a fivepage spread of 21 military photographs that depict the injuries and conditions under which MASH surgeons operate.
Kevlar helmets and vests are reasons for the high survival rate.

Center accepting event dates for Women's Month calendar
The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center encourages students to celebrate Women's History Month in March. This is the second year the center will release an events calendar for the month.
The center is still looking for events hosted by students and community members to go into the calendar. The deadline to submit events is 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 15, to the Student Involvement and Leadership Center in the Kansas Union.
"We want to coordinate the efforts of all groups commemorating Women's History Month and spread the word about their efforts to the campus community," said Shannon Portillo, program coordinator for the center.
The center wants to circulate the calendar earlier this year than last in order to reach more people. The calendar will come out in early February.
The calendar will list all the events related to Women's History Month, "so that students can easily find programs that suit their interests," Portillo said.
Women's History Month is a time to celebrate women's achievements in American history. It began as just a week in 1978 and grew into a month in 1987 through the efforts of the National Women's History Project.
For more information about Women's History Month and the calendar, contact the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center at 864-3552.

Intelligence restructuring ordered to prevent holy war
WASHINGTON — Congress yesterday ordered the biggest overhaul of U.S. intelligence in a half-century, replacing a network geared to the Cold War fight against communism with a post-Sept. 11 structure requiring military and civilian spy agencies to work together against terrorists intent on holy war.
Nikola Rowe
The Senate overwhelmingly passed the legislation 89-2, one day after the House easily pushed through the compromise strongly endorsed by President Bush.
Bush praised what he called "historic legislation that will better protect
the american people and help defend against ongoing terrorist threats."
Lawmakers said the legislation was essential.

Ukrainian opposition happy after parliament decision
KIEV, Ukraine — Tens of thousands of opposition supporters, many of them haggard and shivering after 17 days of round-the-clock street protests, chanted and danced in triumph after parliament approved reforms yesterday to ensure a fair ballot in Ukraine's repeat presidential election.
The surprise vote in parliament was part of a compromise package that also included constitutional amendments to transfer some presidential powers to parliament after parliamentary elections in 2006.
Yushchenko had earlier denounced the amendments, but he appeared to have ended up strengthening his political standing by demonstrating an ability to find common ground with his opponents and solve a crisis that could easily have turned violent.

Museum earns grant, goes digital
BY AUSTIN CASTER
acaster@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Thanks to a grant from the Institute of Museum & Library Services, the Spencer Museum of Art will soon be able to display its entire collection. The $149,061 grant will allow the gallery staff to take digital photos of and display more than 25,000 works of art in a new database.
The museum's gallery space can display only three to five percent of its total pieces at once.
By September 2006, students and faculty will find digital images of each work online, said Carolyn Chinn Lewis, assistant director for the museum.
"Only a small percentage of our holdings are on display at any given time." Lewis said. "We're really coming into the 21st century here."
The entire staff worked on the grant proposal and received approval in October.
"The people will be able to know what we have," Lewis said. "It's a very rich resource."
She said students, faculty and people all over the world will have an easier time researching projects because of the grant.
"The hope is that our collection will be used not just in the art and art history departments," said Sofia Galarza, collection manager and database project co-manager for the museum.
In addition to digital photos, viewers will find the artist, title, dimensions and medium of the works and the life dates and nationality of the artists. Galarza said.
The museum's current Web site, www.spencerart.ku.edu, can display only less than 50 works at a time because of copyright laws. Galarza
Now only the museum staff can search the database of art works, Galarza said. Any student or faculty member with a KU e-mail address will be able to access the new database once it's completed.
said.
The two-year process includes two major steps, Galarza said. She will be in charge of making accurate records and Robert Hickerson, museum photographer, will be in charge of taking the photos.
Hickerson said he would shut down parts of the gallery so he could shoot similar art works at the same time. Different art works include quilts, decorative art, 3-D objects and prints. He said the online database would include works of all media.
The accessibility of the museum's database will set it apart from databases at other universities, he said.
very comprehensive records," said Hickerson, photographer and database co-manager for the Spencer Museum of Art. "We're just a little farther down the road than most of our peer institutions."
The museum's new photography studio will aid in the process. He said the museum finished a new digital studio this week and shut down the darkroom after more than three years of renovations.
He called the new studio state of the art. The studio will hold an opening in the spring.
"The students will have complete access to the art works visually," Hickerson said.
The staff is excited to share everything the gallery has to offer with the KU community.
"We have a real hidden treasure here on campus," Galarza said.

Lied Center to celebrate Christmas 'flavour'

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
After arriving in America, Isabel Walker had culture shock, she said. The Glasgow, Scotland, junior came to the University of Kansas through the study abroad program from her school, Stirling University.
Some differences she first noticed were what students wore to school.
"Wearing pajamas to class, we would never do that at home," Walker said.
She said that most students dressed up to go to class in Scotland.
With the holidays nearing, Walker is looking forward to going home.
"We don't have Thanksgiving, so Christmas is really important," she said. "I couldn't stand to spend Christmas without my family."
In Scotland, counting the days to Christmas is a tradition that lasts past childhood. Calendars that start with Dec. 1 and end on the 25th are in every home, Walker said. Christmas is celebrated just as much in Scotland as it is in America, but is not as commercial, she said.
"Stores do not carry as much Christmas merchandise compared to America," Walker said.
SCOTTISH CHRISTMAS WITH BONNIE RIDEOUT
In general, though, Christmas is celebrated the same in America as it is in Scotland, she said.
The performance will take place at 7:30 tomorrow night and will feature Scottish carols and traditional Highland music and dance.
To complement the Christmas spirit that exists in both Scotland and America, the Lied Center will present "A Scottish Christmas" with Bonnie Rideout as part of the center's Family Series.
When: 7:30 p.m. tomorrow
Where: Lied Center
What: Features Scottish musicians and Scottish dance
Tickets are available at:
Hall,864-3982
- Lied Center Ticket Office, 864-ARTS
- University Theatre Ticket Office in Murphy
SUA Office in the Kansas Union, 864- SHOW
Ticketmaster outlets, or

Tickets are $14 for KU students,
$24 for KU faculty and staff, $28 for the public
"The performance is a perfect way for students to unwind before they jump into finals and to get into the holiday spirit," Karen Christilles, associate director for the Lied Center, said.
The center's world events are some of the most popular shows with students, Christilles said.
Hodgie Bricke, assistant dean for international programs, said she planned to go to the performance. Bricke lived in Edinburgh for many years while her husband was finishing his doctorate and she was researching for her dissertation. Bricke continues to return to Edinburgh, even if it is for just a two-week stay.
Christmas is celebrated differently between the southern part of Scotland and the Highlands, Bricke said.
The difference can be
traced to the 16th century, during the Protestant Reformation. Christmas was seen as a Roman Catholic holiday.
The southern part of Scotland became Protestant and the Highlands stayed Catholic.
Christmas was a celebrated holiday, but it was not as big of a deal in Edinburgh, Bricke said.
"Christmas trees were not that common place," she said.
Hogmanay is one holiday that is celebrated by both parts of Scotland, she said. Hogmanay, the Scottish New Year's, is celebrated from New Year's Eve through Jan. 2.
Bricke expects, based on her experiences, that the Scottish performance tomorrow will include Highland music and New Year's songs.

Delta Force will distribute copies of its new publication, Stance, at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries' weekly Veggie Lunch today.
The lunch begins at 11:30 a.m. at the ECM Building, 1204 Oread Ave.
Sam Birchfield, Lawrence sophomore and member of Delta Force, is one of the five students who put together the publication.
Distribution of the first issue has already begun, she said. The coalition plans to distribute copies to leaders of student groups and in student housing facilities.
“It's not just about Delta Force,” she said. "It's about a lot of different things people are interested in."
The first issue features an article about tumour increases and another about women in Delta Force, Birchfield said.
The publication features original articles and photography, she said.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Students need longer time in residence halls
Most of us have been there at some point: It's about time for another break, maybe Thanksgiving for five days or a month between semesters. We are evicted from our homes because of the break. While there are many advantages to living in University housing, this is definitely not one of them. For students who live hours away and must drive or fly, this is especially difficult.
For Thanksgiving break, students in University Housing must pack and make travel arrangements around their class schedule that Tuesday, but be out of the residence halls or scholarship halls with everything they need for break by 11 p.m.
Not only does this make for a long, tiring day, but it punishes students who would like to attend the KU basketball games — one of which has been held the Tuesday night of Thanksgiving break the past two years. Students receive notices posted in their halls saying to load their cars before the game, because they will not be able to enter the halls afterwards.
Some teachers have harsh penalties for missing class the day before break, so students end up having to take late flights, keeping them up all night because they cannot spend another night in University Housing and leave Wednesday at a decent hour.
For students who drive home, it takes time to load up a car with everything they need for five days. If they have a night class on Tuesdays, it's almost impossible and can be dangerous to drive for five or six hours starting at 9 or 10 p.m. after a long day of classes, but they have nowhere else to stay for that night.
For winter break, students must be out of housing within 24 hours of their last final or by 11 p.m., according to the KU Student Housing Web site, and the last final this semester ends at 4 p.m. on Dec. 17. This is hardly enough time to do enough packing for a month of eviction, so most students make the decision to pack all week long instead
of studying for finals as much as they could be. Students have the option to stay in housing over break, but it costs extra.
These housing-related problems also prevent students from spending time with their friends from the University before they are sent home for one month without seeing them.
One solution is for the Department of Student Housing to have a weekend grace period after finals to give students the option to relax and spend time with their friends after finals for a day or two and take their time to gather their belongings and move out.
If this is not possible, the department should hold a referendum in which students living on campus can vote on whether they would make good use of this grace period. At least this way, students would have some say and less worry about being evicted from their homes so soon after school is out of session.
When asked, KU Student Housing representative Eric Grospitch offered a few promising details and an explanation. He said that the residence halls closed promptly after finals are done to "prevent a party night," but that the department was willing to work with students on an individual basis as long as their reasons are legitimate.
While this does alleviate some problems, it is hard for every student to not only be aware, but also contact and negotiate with the department. In addition, it is understandable that a "party night" might get a little out of hand, but students have worked hard all semester and deserve time to spend with their friends.
Besides, students have probably been partying all semester long and on Stop Day as well, so it would hardly be any different the weekend after finals. Policies that the department has for preventing parties, such as prohibition of alcohol and quiet hours, would still be in place to keep residents safe and happy while they celebrate.
Tis the season for love
In college, the holidays come too fast. Your last final ends. Bang. Time to go home, or wherever, to celebrate, decompress and deal with unavoidable family-related issues. Depending on the state of the lives of those closest to you, the holidays can be happy or complicated.
STINSON'S VIEW
I would like to focus specifically on one part of the holiday season and a somewhat awkward topic this time of year: love.
The Greeks split love into three natures: eros, philia and agape. Eros is passionate love, desire for something intensely. During the holidays eros can be, as many know, quite good.
I often wondered why so many birthdays (including mine) lie in September, but then I realized couples wanted to do more than watch snow outside while avoiding the cold.
Philia is friendly love, the loyalty you show to your friends, parents and country. The holidays provide a good opportunity for parties and gatherings, especially on New Year's, where philia can grow and mature.
Agape is parental love, or grandparent love, often expressed in the form of sweaters. Or if you are lucky, grandma's gingerbread cookies.
It should go without saying the holidays should be a time of coming together, where this spectrum of affection can function. However, I think adding perspective to the clichés about the holiday season helps make the good parts better and the bad parts easier to handle.
I have witnessed too many people in a state of eros who cannot function as normal human beings because they allow eros to control their lives. Unless you are willing to lose something or someone, it controls you. It is untrue to say you love something if it controls you. Being in a relationship because you want to and not because you have to will make that part of the holidays better for you.
COMMENTARY
SEAN PAUZAUSKIE opinion@kansan.com
Being in a relationship because you want to, not because you have to will make that part of the holidays better for you.
Philia tends to change the most during college life. Seeing your parents as people, not perfect human beings, allays the silent pain of wishing they would change.
It took me a long time to realize, especially in politics, friends on the opposite side of the fence are an asset and not a liability. They keep you in check. Some of the most rewarding experiences come from changing your mind through the point-and-counterpoint of discussions with those you disagree with.
If you find yourself unhappy this holiday season because of a disturbance in the forces of eros or philia, sitting alone at home or your apartment, wearing sweats, eating bon-bons or watching movies with sad endings, remember love goes into circles.
The holidays provide the best time to step out of yourself for a moment and ask yourself these kinds of questions about the people you love.
Love is an unpredictable and powerful emotion.

Logic, SUVs doesn't match
I had a battle that I could not win last weekend. It may sound familiar to you: the normal car versus the SUV. I was driving my brother's little green car, (we call it Shrek, if that gives you a good mental picture). It's a ten-year-old Toyota Celica. As I hurtled down a stretch of southeastern Kansas highway in the rain — a challenge in itself
COMMENTARY
I approached a monstrous Chevy Suburban. When you're in a car about the size of a soda car, you might as well be driving behind a semi truck. My windows were coated with the vehicle's road-spittle, I couldn't see enough to pass it, and if the giant and I were to collide, I knew the Celica would be crushed like a bug beneath its heaving carcass. It's a rough road out there for the average car.
SUV ownership has risen 30 percent in Kansas between 1997 and 2002, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. And our state is lagging behind the rest of the country, whose ownership has increased a gas-guzzling 56 percent.
COMMENTARY
One would think that this craze of vanity vehicles would have faded like any other ego-boosting fad. But this trend of unnecessary, dangerous vehicles is much more harmful than, say, power-lifting or fake-tanning.
LOUISE STAUFFER
opinion@kansan.com
Some have suggested that SUVs may not be useful to the largely rural population of Kansas. This is an understatement. It has been scientifically proven that Kansas is flatter than a pancake. Besides that, most of the drivers around Lawrence are not using SUVs for their intended purposes. I'm willing to bet that a 20-year-old coed with Johnson County plates isn't hauling
Nope. SUVs are alive and well.
nay. In fact, only five percent of SUVs are ever taken off-road, according to sun.org. The average student uses a car to drive to work, to South Padre on spring break, and on the occasional visit to the parents. Most of us never drive up the side of a mountain or down into a ravine, as shown in the Chevrolet commercials.
People like SUVs because they're cool To some, they express masculinity. Others see them as a suit of armor, protection from danger.
In reality, SUVs are less safe than most cars. According to Environmental Media Services, minivans, luxury imports, mid-sized cars and large cars had fewer driver deaths per million vehicles sold than SUVs. Compacts, pickups, subcompacts and sports cars had more. Compared with other vehicle classes, SUVs were involved more frequently in accidents fatal to drivers of other vehicles, measured in fatalities per million vehicles sold. So, while someone may think they are keeping themselves or their loved ones safe by putting them in a big, strong-looking car, they are actually increasing the likelihood of fatalities on the road.
The economics of the SUV business make it cheaper for some to own one
than a normal car. Congress passed a tax law in 1996 that enables SUV owners to write off as much as $30,000 from the vehicle cost as a business expense. Congress claims this is to encourage business investment, but if that's true, why do owners of fuel saving hybrid vehicles only get $4,000 deducted on average, according to Auto Insider. Thirty-eight light truck models, including Cadillac Escalades and Chevy Durangos, are eligible for a $24,000 deduction.
SUVs also make more money for the automobile industry than cars. Environmental Media Services reported U.S. auto makers made narrow profit margins on car sales, but a Ford Expedition or Chevrolet Suburban can bring in more than $10,000 in profits.
Federal law also permits gas guzzlers to harm the environment more than a normal car. According to suv.org. Federal law permits SUVs to waste $33\%$ more gasoline than passenger cars.
These vehicles also spew 30 percent more carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons and 75 percent more nitrogen oxides than passenger cars.
At least Kansas is behind the rest of the country in its ownership of SUVs. American car manufacturers such as Ford are introducing hybrid vehicles that run on a combination of electricity and fuel. The Toyota Prius has become the "must-have" hybrid car among celebrities. People are catching on. But until I stop seeing one person behind the wheel of a SUV that could seat eight, I will still drive my car warily.

Storywrongly portrayed son; private information exposed
On Nov.16, a story ran in the Kansan on what was supposed to be about my son Lawrence Hubbard and his big brother Chris Jones through the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program. This story was stricty supposed to tell about Lawrence and Chris' relationship, which is a great relationship as little/little brothers. The story barely touched on their relationship. Instead it painted an ugly picture of my son's life with inaccurate facts.
The story started out introducing my son as a great kid with a bright future. Then it began to talk about his personal life without the facts. It said that Lawrence had his share of suspensions, usually for back-talking a teacher or pushing a kid in the hall.
That information was incorrect. Any encounters that may have led to my son being suspended were solely because he was trying to defend himself from another student, not because he talks back to his teachers
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
or lashes out on other children.
of failures but on other children. The story also stated that he was the one always in the office getting looked at by the teachers and students. That is not correct.
It then touched on a sensitive subject, his deceased uncle. The facts were all wrong. His uncle was not involved in any kind of a gang — he was an innocent victim who was murdered.
I know the story's intent wasn't for this to turn out this way but because the facts were incorrect, there has been some distrust and hurt feelings.
I made it very clear that I did not want Lawrence's personal life brought up in the story and I was assured that it wouldn't be.
The agreement was to strictly talk about Lawrence and Chris' relationship and Big Brothers. I would strongly advise to only write about true facts, and never bring up deceased family members unless it's OK with the parents.

INITIATIVES: University conveniences to come
INITIATIVES:
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The recommendation will require Provost David Shulenburger's approval in the spring.
A referendum for a University-wide file-sharing program is a possibility for next spring's Student Senate elections.
File-sharing
The Student Senate File-sharing Task Force is collaborating with Information Services to determine which file-sharing company would best suit the University's needs, said task force member Lauren Pierson, Prairie Village sophomore.
The purpose of a file-sharing program, Pierson said, is to
deter students from downloading illegally.
Among programs the task force is considering are those compatible with Mac and PC operating systems and that have large music libraries, Pierson said. Companies under consideration include Ruckus, Napster and iTunes.
To pay for a file-sharing program, a new student fee would have to be added. Pierson said the task force and Information Services currently were starting the bidding process with companies. She didn't have an estimate of the price of a file-sharing program.
Online Course Evaluations
Student-friendly evaluations
for classes and faculty are available again this semester through the KU Web site. These evaluations let students rate courses and faculty and view students' opinions from previous semesters.
The evaluations were new last spring, but in most classes less than 60 percent of the class submitted evaluations, which limits the value of the evaluations, said Steve Munch, student body president.
Munch, Bellevue, Neb., junior, said he looked at the course evaluations for essential reading requirements and attendance policy when deciding his schedule for the spring semester.
Each evaluation asks 10 questions about the quality and instruction of the course. Evaluations can be submitted for all courses currently enrolled and are available from now until Dec. 20.
Students will have another opportunity to submit evaluations this semester.
Course evaluations are accessible through the KU Web site. Click "C," go to "Course evaluations" and then log in using your online ID and password.
Wireless Campus
Basketball campers still don't have access to wireless Internet, and Marilu Goodyear, vice provost for Information Services, said she couldn't estimate when it would be ready.
Wireless access was scheduled to be ready before the first home basketball game, Nov. 19.
Goodyear said Networking
and Telecommunications Services employees encountered compatibility problems Friday between Allen Fieldhouse's security system and wireless access. She said NTS was investigating the problem and would continue to work on installation during winter break.
When wireless Internet is installed, it will not be running continuously in the fieldhouse, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director. He said wireless Internet would be turned off when students weren't camping.
"Our number one concern is the security of our system," Marchiony said.
Department would pay for a monthly cost to run wireless Internet because it was important to students.
Student Senate paid for installation of the wireless Internet using student fees.

Marchiony also asked a favor of KU students. He wanted students to stand on the floor instead of the benches during basketball games. He said having wireless access in the fieldhouse would amass student support for the Athletics Department's wishes.

The last shipment of famous bee specimens arrived during Thanksgiving break at Snow Hall. The late Donald B. Baker, a world-renowned entomologist and authority on the diversity of old world bees, donated his collection to the University of Kansas. The donated collection increases the number of specimens in KU's bee collection to 530,000, the largest bee research collection in the world.
"It's impossible to duplicate this bee collection," said Leonard Krishtalka, director of the Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center. "It's invaluable. The fact that we were given this collection as a gift, even though many others bid on it, shows how high we were regarded by the family."
Michael Engel, assistant curator of the division of entomology, has the 16 custom-made cabinets containing 60,000 pinned bee specimens, representing 6,000 species, in his office. Engel said that the donated collection will attract entomologists from all around the world.
The specimens come mostly from the Middle East, Central Asia and Arabian countries, as
well as a strong representation from Europe, Africa and southeast Asia. Baker made many research contributions on the evolution of bees in those regions, Engel said.
Recently, scientists around the world, from Belgium to South Africa, have contacted Engel, anxious to view the collection for their own research. Engel said he was willing to ship a small number of bee specimens out, but scientists who want to examine a large number must come to the University.
"The Baker bee collection is just one of the jewels in the crown," Krishtalka said. "Our collection attracts scholars from all over the world. No one can really do bee research without referencing our collection."
Baker started collecting specimens in the 1930s when he served in the British army. The army took him to places around the world, allowing him to continue collecting specimens long before areas like the Middle East were dangerous.
Engel has experienced firsthand the dangers in the field while trying to collect specimens. In 2000, he worked in regions in Kyrgyzstan heavily controlled by Al Qaeda and similar extremist groups, and he was shot at and chased after. Engel
"It was one of the most productive trips I've ever been on, but from a safety issue, I'm surprised no one lost their life," Engel said.
Engel said Oxford University, Baker's alma mater, and the British Museum of Natural History wanted Baker's collection, but neither institution had an active research program. Baker didn't want his collection to stagnate, Engel said.
"During one of my visits to see him, he said that he could only think of one institution in the world that maintained, over a very lengthy period of time, a history and tradition of maintaining active research over the systematics of bees, and that's the University of Kansas." Engel explained.
To transport the remainder of the collection from England to Lawrence, Engel said Zachary Falin, Snow entomological collection manager, and Allan Smith-Pardo, a graduate student in entomology, accompanied him to England to help with the laborious work in preparing the specimens for shipment.
After finishing his visit to England, Engel took a cabinet back to the University, and several months later, Baker died
Smith-Pardo said if you touched the bee specimens with your fingers, the exoskeleton
one of the jewels in the crown."
Leonard Kristalka director of the Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center
would break right away. Because the bees are so fragile, Smith-Pardo said each had to be braced with pins — all 60,000 bees. Smith-Pardo explained this must be done to prevent the bees from moving around during shipment. If parts of the specimen were to break up, it's almost impossible to associate the parts with the correct specimen.
The bees were placed in drawers with a glass cover, individually packed and labeled, and were sent through U.S. Customs.
"He had a series of notebooks with just a phenomenal amount of data that he never had a chance to get to in his life." Engel said. "It'll keep me busy for decades to come."
In addition to the bee collection, volumes of meticulous hand-written field reports and more than 2,000 scientific offprints were donated from Baker's collection.

KU info Student workers take on library reference responsibilities
KU
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14
A rare service
WHAT ARE KU INFO'S HOURS?
Nationwide and among Big 12 Conference schools, a phone line like KU Info is rare, said Susan Elkins, director of KU Info. Many schools' offices and departments give out information, but a one-stop phone line is hard to find.
- Monday through Thursday: 8 a.m. to midnight
- Friday: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Saturday: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Sunday: 10 a.m. to midnight
Source: KU Info
Automated answering services are perhaps most common among Big 12 schools, but KU Info is different, Elkins said.
KU Info's automated service.
J-Talk, is used only when all lines are busy or when calls come in after KU Info is closed, she said.
Operating 24 hours a day in the 1980s, KU Info staff answered about 700 calls per day.
But starting in the 1990s, students began to find their own answers on the Internet and through University resources.
From 1991 to 1992, the number of calls fell to 410 per day, and to 277 per day from 2002 to 2003.
Since moving from the Kansas Union to the library in 2003, call intake has continued to decrease, with only 179 per day from 2003 to 2004. And now, as part of the library system, KU Info's structure has changed.
In the Kansas Union, KU Info workers answered the phones exclusively and were rarely lim
ited to what questions they could
answer. Workers found answers using index cards, resource books and the Internet.
When KU Info moved to the library in 2003, workers took on the role of "peer reference assistants." They were trained to answer reference questions and to help with computers and copy equipment. Elkins said. They still answer the phones, but they also handle walk-in traffic from library patrons, she said.
KU Info is part of the reference and information resource service, said Bill Myers, director of library development. It still maintains the KU Info identity, but it is integrated with the library, he said.
KU Libraries provide KU Info with a $60,000 annual budget, with almost all of the money going toward staff salaries, Myers said. Even though KU Info exists as a separate group, library administrators still want users to see it and the library as one service.
"We want the campus community to understand that KU Info and KU Libraries are one entity," he said.

tradition will be lost as it becomes more integrated into the library structure, and that answering the phones could take a backseat.
Other student workers question the training they've gotten and their abilities to handle library and reference issues.
Many KU Info workers, such as Alisha Ashley, Halstad junior, said they didn't mind doing the library work. But they fear KU Info's
"A two-hour seminar once doesn't prepare you as well as someone should be when trying to provide service to patrons," White said.
Hanluen Kuo, Overland Park junior, has worked for KU Info since the summer. Kuo said the staff started library training a week after he was hired without mentioning extra responsibilities.
"They just kind of said, 'Oh, by the way, you've got to deal with this reference stuff, too,' he said, "and that's actually a pretty big deal."
Student workers are also concerned that they aren't kept up with what's happening
Having worked for KU Info for three-and-a-half years, Dan Beckmann said he was most upset by how often he thought KU Info was left out of the loop about past changes and the ones upcoming.

"There are a lot of changes going on, and we are not included in the process," Beckmann, Roeland Park senior, said. "I feel like we've been specifically excluded."
The latest change that student workers have to deal with is the resignation of their director. In November, Elkins announced she would be resigning effective Jan. 5, 2005. She has the longest tenure as director of KU Info with 14-and-a-half years.
"A change in leadership will help the library," Elkins said. "I'm perfectly happy to give up the helm to someone else."

For many older students on campus, the changes at KU Info are noticeable.
Elkins wouldn't comment on
her exact reasons for resigning.

"I hope they don't get rid of the phone service because that's the only number I know to call." White said.
"When I first came here, I'd call it for anything," Brian Labovitz, St. Louis senior, said of KU Info. "Now, they're too picky on what they answer."
pretty on his stomach.
As a freshman, Labovitz said,
he called KU Info at least a few
times each week. Now, he calls
about once a month.
Brynn White, Overland Park sophomore, said she didn't use KU Info that often, but would be disappointed if the service was not available when needed.

Changes on a grander scale
Training KU Info workers to answer more questions and offer library service stems from a University effort to combine services that provide information to students in a one-stop approach.
From HVC$^2$ came the Integrated Student Information Services Implementation Task Force. ISIS is the main task force of the effort. A KU Info worker was also on the ISIS task force.
The effort was started last year by two groups: High Velocity Change through High Volume Collaboration, HVC2. and a group from the Office of Student Success.Membership in the two groups included representatives from Student Financial Aid, KU Libraries, Student Senate and Information Services.
The groups found that a majority of students, faculty and staff wanted information to be accessible and have a one-stop approach, said Michele Eodice, director of the KU Writing Center and ISIS co-chairwoman.
"We're trying to create a model or network where there is both a virtual or online help presence and some physical location." Eodice said.

Because KU Info is already part of the library system, Eodice said ISIS would primari-
it has to be a combination of services because that's how we're all functioning now," said Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, associate vice provost for student success and ISIS sponsor.
ly focus on KU Info as a model for the call-in portion of the overall combined service. KU Info's peer help focus and its ability to find answers quickly are elements we want to include, Eodice said.
"How many midgets can you fit inside a blue whale?"
KU Info has gained a reputation over the years for being able to answer absurd questions. But, as student workers say, those questions don't represent KU Info's full range of services.
"People think we're some frivolous service that just answers silly questions," said Molly Tucker, Prairie Village junior. "But that's like only five to 10 percent of the questions we answer."
Most of the questions that workers answer are about academics, Elkins said. Students usually need help with topics such as enrollment issues, bus schedules and the hours of operation for various buildings and the Student Recreation Fitness Center, she said.
"Almost all of our calls are about issues affecting student life for KU students," she said.
As library administrators discuss changes behind closed doors, the workers say they are deciding whether to quit or stay. Most said they would more than likely stay
Beckmann said he would most likely stay to ensure that KU Info, in whatever form, is the best service it can be.
That duty and privilege of service is what White said would keep him at KU Info next semester.
"It's a huge honor to be a part of history." White said. "KU Info has been around a lot longer than I have, and hopefully I can say the same after I'm gone."

Westerwinds blown off court
BY BJ RAINS
brains@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Earlier this week, Western Illinois women's basketball coach Leslie Crane said that her team had its hands full when it came to trying to beat Kansas. She was right.
The Jayhawks used a strong defensive team effort and 17 points from junior forward Crystal Kemp to knock off the Westerwinds 58-41 last night at Allen Fieldhouse.
"It was good to get a lead and be able to hold it," said Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson.
Kemp was the offensive leader for the Jayhawks. She scored 12 points in the first half, when she played all 20 minutes for the first time this season.
"I was just trying to keep us in our offense," Kemp said. "I wanted to keep the momentum up, that we sometimes lose as the game goes on."
The Jayhawks held the Westerwinds to only 13 points in the first half. Defensive pressure, especially in the
first half, was a key for the Jayhawks, Henrickson said.
"We really disrupted their offensive sets," Henrickson said. "I thought we applied a lot of pressure on the perimeter, which kept the ball out of the big kids' hands."
Zane Teilane, the Westwinds leading scorer at 17.4 points per game, scored only 12 points. Jessica Cook, Western Illinois' second leading scorer at 15.2 points per game, scored only two points, another credit to the Kansas defense.
"That was the difference," Crain said. "They had a defensive game plan and stuck with it."
The Westerwinds had only six field goals by someone other than Teilane and made only 12 field goals in the entire game. During one stretch, the Westerwinds did not score for more than 10 minutes.
"We really worked hard in practice this week on our defense," Kansas junior guard Erica Hallman said. "We came out aggressive tonight, and we had the same intensity level throughout the entire game."
Freshman guard Taylor McIntosh led

the team with 10 rebounds. She had the tough task of trying to out-rebound Teilane, who stands 8 inches taller than she.
She added a layup on the their next possession.
After junior guard Kaylee Brown hit a long jumper right inside of the three-point line, the Jayhawks had a quick 6-2 lead.
A few minutes later, the Jayhawks went scoreless for more than three minutes and after a driving layup by the Westerwinds, the Jayhawks lead was only 4, at 13-9.
But the Westerwinds scored only four points in the remaining eight minutes of the first half and were forced into nine turnovers by the Jayhawk defense.
Kansas closed the half on a 13-0 streak and led by 18 at the break. Western Illinois made only five field goals in the first half, shooting a dismal 21.7 percent from the field.
Henrickson and her staff will give the Jayhawks a much-needed break after playing seven games in 19 days. They will have two days off before returning to practice on Saturday to prepare for Dartmouth on Dec. 18.

SPORTS COMMUNITY
SHANE KUCERA skucera@kansan.com
Editor's Note: Athletes at the University of Kansas are more than just victories and statistics — they're real people with opinions on sports, life and love. Each Thursday, Kansan sportswriter Shane Kucera sits with a student athlete and discusses issues beyond the playing field.
Jenny Peck, Plymouth, Minn., senior, partially tore her ACL and her meniscus — cartilage in the knee — last season while playing for the KU women's rugby team. She kept playing until the end of the season, even after the doctor said her knee was so torn up she probably had no ACL tendon left.
Peck, this year's rugby team captain, plays through pain and loves inflicting it on others.
She's far from a girl concerned with
a broken nail; she lives week-to-week nursing bruises, black eyes and sprains.
It depends on the teams that you play. Some teams are really intense and you're going to end up getting black eyes or a sprain of some sort and other games you'll just walk away with a scrape or two.
This week, Peck tells about her life on and off the field:
A: I can honestly say that there hasn't been a game that I haven't gotten five to 10 bruises.
Q: How physical is the sport?
A: I love it because it's such a good release of aggression, especially after a bad day.
Q: Do you like tackling other girls?
A: Yes, I've gone to the doctor and he thinks I'm in an abusive relationship.
Q: Do people ever ask why you have bruises all over your body?
A: I wouldn't say they're tougher. I'd say we're just a different variety of women.
Q: Would you say the women on the team are tougher than average?
I think that we're women that are not intimidated by playing a tough sport — there are definitely tough

Wayne Simien is the second-best player to graduate from Leavenworth High School — according to Texas Christian coach Neil Dougherty.
The TCU coach and former Kansas assistant also graduated f rom Leavenworth High School.

"He said I would never be as good as him in setting this record or that record." Simien said.
But Simien got back at him during his senior season at Leavenworth.
Dougherty said it would be an emotional experience to be back in Allen Fieldhouse to see his former players.
Dougherty will make his first trip back to Allen Fieldhouse since taking the TCU coaching job after the 2002 season. Kansas takes on the 5-2 Horned Frogs at 8 tonight.
"I'd be lying if I said it wouldn't be much more than just a game. Not only because of what I feel for the state of Kansas, but KU in particular," Doughey said.
Dougherty may still own most of the scoring records at Leavenworth, but Simien has something that he doesn't.
"His team won state," Dougherty admitted. "But I have the records and he has the ring."
Dougherty still keeps in contact with the players that he coached as an assistant at Kansas — Simien, Keith Langford, Aaron Miles and Mike Lee.
"They are still my guys," Dougherty said. "They will always have a special place in my heart."
Dougherty has already been on the phone with Langford, joking about the TCU game.

Season of 'what ifs' not so bad
Despite missing 2004 bowl game opportunity, Mangino keeps head up

KANSAN. SPORTSWRIVER
Sometimes a team's record does not show how well the team actually played.
This year's Kansas football team went 4-7 and missed an opportunity to make back-toback bowl trips for the first time in school history.
"If you're looking at us purely by wins and losses, you've missed the story with this team," coach Mark Mangino said.
This Jayhawk football team made huge strides on defense, something Mangino believes is crucial in developing a consistent contender.
The Jayhawks had the sevent-ranked defense in the Big 12 Conference last year. This season, the team climbed to fifth.
Defending against the rush, last year Kansas ranked ninth in the Big 12. This year, the team climbed to fourth though the team faced Heisman Trophy candidates Adrian Peterson, Oklahoma freshman running back, and Cedric Benson, Texas senior running back.
They also faced K-State senior running back Darren Sproles and Missouri junior quarterback Brad Smith. Both were touted as Heisman Trophy candidates before the season, but the Jayhawks shut both down completely.
If only the Jayhawks had played with the offense it brought to the field last season — but ask Mangino about that and the answer is short: At Kansas, he does not deal with hypothetical.
"We have to continue to just get bigger and stronger and develop the technical skills of our players," Mangino said.
What set last season's offense apart from this year's was the team's ability to put the ball on the ground and go. Last season, the team ranked seventh in rushing offense — this season, it ranked dead last.
Even with an offense that struggled to close out games, the team stayed close to almost every opponent this season.
In games against Northwestern, Texas Tech.
Nebraska and Texas, Kansas built leads, only to see them disappear in the fourth quarter.
Kansas jumped ahead of Texas Tech 30-5 before missed field goals doomed the Jayhawks' efforts. A field goal could have changed the course of a game against Northwestern, as well.
Against Texas, there was the controversial "BCS call," which garnered Mangino and the Jayhawks national media attention. If only the Jayhawks had held on, the current BCS controversy might not have been so bad.
There are no "what its" about the games against K-State and Missouri. Not since 1989 has Kansas football beat both its main rivals in the same season.
While this season could have concluded better for the Jayhawks, the team showed a lot of promise for next season.
Several questions exist, including who will start at quarterback. Mangino's not ready to answer that question, but there are at least four names that could be on the list.
juniors Jason Swanson and Brian Luke and freshman Marcus Herford are all contenders for the starting job. Once spring workouts begin, the starter should become more clear.
Sophomore Adam Barmann.
For many fans, 2004 was the season of "what if." For Mangino, this season was something special.
"This ball club and this locker room will probably sit with me for a long time," Mangino said.

Andrea Kelley, Lawrence junior, practices the clean and jerk. Kelley started Olympic weightifting after high school, where she was a power lifter. She will compete on Feb. 12 at the National Collegiate Championships in Charleston, Ill.
Weightlifter finds strength in family
BY FRANK TANKARD
ftankard@kansan.com
KANSAN SWIMMER
Dressed in street clothes, it's hard to tell that 5-foot-2, 105-pound Andrea Kelley, biomechanical engineering junior, has trouble finding jeans that fit both her narrow waist and her massive thighs. One wouldn't guess she is a competitive weightlifter.
"People get surprised because I'm real short and petite," Kelley said.
Last weekend, Kelley took first place in the 48-kilogram weight class at the American Open Championships in Shreveport, La., with lifts of 121 pounds in the snatch competition and 154 pounds in the clean-and-jerk competition, for a total of 275 pounds.
This was the final meet of a year in which she took gold in her weight class at the National Collegiate Championships and placed third in her class at both the Olympic Trials and the National Championships.
But it was not an easy year.
Between her demanding engineering classes and working 17 hours a week at Scotch Fabric Care Services, Kelley had to squeeze in workouts whenever they would fit.
they would be Kelley's father, Bill Stoneback, said he wished she had more time to focus on weightlifting.
Kelley said school is ultimately more important. She doesn't know how long weightlifting will last. Meanwhile, she and Aaron, her husband, have bills to pay. A job at an engineering firm after she graduates will help.
and Jill Stoneback, have been a big help to her. They make it a point to be at every meet, no matter how far they have to travel. They also support Kelley's younger brother, Bill Jr., a senior at Free State High School. He enters many of the same meets.
"We drive them and fly them wherever they need to go." Bill Sr. said. "I just can't conceive not going to a meet and watching it. They get 150 percent support from us."
Kelley said her parents, Bill
As a sophomore, Kelley enrolled in a weight training class with Aaron to supplement her soccer training.
When she discovered her great natural strength, she and Aaron decided she should enter a couple of powerlifting competitions in the area. In her first competition, she swept all three categories: power clean, squat and bench.
Her accomplishment caught the attention of the Lawrence Journal-World. One man who read the paper's story on her was local weightlifting guru Loren McVey. In his nearly 30 years coaching weightlifting, he has mentored athletes all the way up to the World Championships.
McVey contacted Kelley and told her he wanted to teach her Olympic weightlifting. Shortly after, Kelley started working out at McVey's house.
Kelley's father said it is her mental strength that catapults her above the competition in everything she does.
"She does not fail on anything," he said. "She's just got that attitude. She's one of those kids that anything she wants to do, you can count on her doing it."

5 Pacers, 7 fans charged in last month's sports melee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PONTIAC, Mich. — Five Indiana Pacers and seven fans were charged yesterday in the melee that broke at the end of a nationally televised game against the Detroit Pistons last month, one of the worst brawls in U.S. sports history.
Players Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson, David Harrison and Anthony Johnson were charged with one count of assault and battery. Jermaine O'Neal, a three-time NBA All-Star, was charged with two counts of
assault and battery.
Five fans were charged with misdemeanor assault and battery, including Pistons star Ben Wallace's brother, David. Bryant Jackson also was charged with felony assault for throwing a chair into the fray, Oakland County prosecutor David Gorcyca said.
The misdemeanor carries up to three months in jail and a fine of up to $500, and the felony carries up to four years in prison, although Jackson could face more time because he has a prior criminal record, Goryca said.
Gorcyca singled out spectator John Green, who faces two assault counts and the prosecutor said, "single-handedly incited this whole interaction between the fans and players and probably is the one that's most culpable." Green, who also has a prior criminal record, is accused of throwing a cup at Artest, splashing him and sparking the brawl.
John Ackerman and William Paulson, each facing an assault charge, also were accused of throwing a cup or liquid in players' faces.
in addition, two men were charged for walking onto the court at The Palace of Auburn Hills. Police said other fans could be charged, too.
Gorcyca said the players and fans without prior convictions would probably face probation and fines if found guilty.
Facers chief executive Donnie Walsh said the team would not comment until the case is resolved. "In the meantime, we will continue to support our players in every possible way," he said.
James W. Burdick, Stephen
Jackson's lawyer, said it was "unfair and inappropriate" to charge his client.
"The problem is this: a few crazed drunken fans who created a chaotic situation," Burdick said. "Steve responded in a way that he thought was necessary to protect himself and protect his friends."
Walter Piszczatowski
Harrison's lawyer, said: "David was acting as the peacekeeper throughout that evening. He was trying to make sure everybody was safe."
With less than a minute left in
the Pacers-Pistons game Nov. 19, Artest fouled Ben Wallace from behind on a drive to the basket. Wallace responded with a hard, two-handed shove to Artest.

Jackson joined Artest and threw punches at fans, who punched back. O'Neal and Artest also hit fans who later came onto the court.
That sparked an initial skirmish, and Artest retreated to the scorer's table while the referees restored calm. But then Artest was hit by the cup, and he stormed into the stands, throwing punches as he climbed over seats.

ASSISTANT: Dougherty likes to stay in touch with players
In reality, both of them have court seats — just on different ends of the court. Dougherty said that understanding the Jayhawks' personnel was both an advantage and a disadvantage.
"Understanding personnel is a big part of a lot of the things you try to do when you prepare for a team," he said. "But in this case, knowing what they are capable of doing is scary."
TCU hasn't done anything out of the ordinary to prepare for Kansas on the court, but Dougherty said this was the first time his team would play in a venue as tough as the fieldhouse.
Coach Bill Self said that TCU was going to be one of the quickest teams Kansas would face all year. The Horned Frogs are led by point guard Corey Santee, who is averaging almost 14 points per game. Sophomore center Femi Ibikunle is the biggest player on the TCU ros-
at. At 6-foot-9, 257 pounds, he will most likely guard Simien.
Self said the Horned Frogs would be tough to guard because of their quickness, but Dougherty said he is most concerned about all of the Jayhawks' weapons.
"They have more weapons that just Wayne," Dougherty said. "He is a huge part of it, and he anchors the middle, but there are so many areas that they hurt you. We just have to concentrate on coming up with some things that will let us compete."
Win or lose, tonight will be a special homecoming for Dougherty. He said he planned to see some of his former players and their parents.
A longtime family friend of the Simien's, Wayne Simien said tonight might be the night to prove to Dougherty who the best player to graduate from Leavenworth High School really was.

Today's Birthday (Dec. 9).
This year is about finishing up old unfinished business. Make a list of all the things you should do, and either scratch them off or do them.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7.
HOROSCOPES
You can find the money to get what you really should have for your home. We're talking infrastructure here, and it's a good investment.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7.
You may find yourself fascinated by someone you don't really like all that much. Fantasies are quite natural, but don't learn a lesson the hard way.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is an 6.
Love takes top priority now, shift everything else to the side. Hearing from somebody
It's possible and practical to do the extra work that brings in all the extra cash you'll need to achieve your goals. It might even be fun.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7.
who's far away could be your inspiration.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 7.
Something you've been holding onto will come in handy now. It might even keep you from having to buy something else that's on your list. Go through those closets and the garage.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7.
The more you study and practice, the easier it gets to do whatever it is you're doing.
Keep slogging toward mastery.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Todays in a S
You may not be sure how to accomplish the task you've set. This is where the prayer comes in. You're right, you can't do it all by yourself.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7.
Money-saving opportunities are opening up, and new products are available. If you're going to order any, you'd better do it quickly. Some of that stuff has to travel a long way to get to you.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 7.
Obligations weigh a ton, and avoiding them doesn't seem to help. Pay off what you owe as quickly as possible, even if that means doing without a new toy.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 7.
Sometimes a stern word is required to set a wayward spirit back onto the right path. Warn somebody who's about to make a mistake you already made.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is an 7
More work is coming in, which might feel like a mixed blessing. You'd rather have more time off but you'd also like more money. Make sure the lattermost comes with the foremost.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 8.
Sure, you have things on your list that need doing, but they can wait for a while. It's important for you to make a connection with somebody you love. That's your top priority.

New lifestyle,new season,new Wayne Simien

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Wayne Simien claps during the Victory Campus Ministries' worship service at Wescoe in November.
The date holds a much larger meaning in the senior forward's life than any moment on the basketball court.
On that day, his 20th birthday,
Wayne Siim gave his life to God.
"You know, I really felt the Lord knockin' on my heart for a long time," he said. "It wasn't really one specific event. It was more like a series of things."
That series of things came from a lifestyle that presented him all of the hedonistic pleasures a college student could ever want. Wayne Simien had fame, women and endless admiration wherever he went.
But it wasn't enough. And when the only identity he'd known his entire life was nearly taken from him, it was then Wayne Simien found himself.
The end of the beginning
March 29, 2003, was one of the greatest nights in Kansas basketball history. The Jayhawks avenged a regular season loss to the Arizona Wildcats just two days after smoking the Duke Blue Devils in the Sweet 16, and Kansas was headed to a second consecutive Final Four. The team looked invincible, and it seemed a mere footnote that then-sophomore forward Wayne Simien was nowhere in sight on the bench in Anaheim, Calif.
Wayne was in a hospital bed in New York City, and as his teammates soared, he hit rock bottom. He was undergoing surgery on a separated shoulder injury he sustained earlier in the season.
"The injury my sophomore year really opened my eyes, because basketball was something that had been the focal point of my life for so long, and that's where I found my identity, was on the court.
"That was taken away from me for awhile, and I had nowhere else to go."
Wayne Simien's mind was going a mile-a-minute, laid up in that hospital.
Does my life have a greater purpose than just a game?
Ultimately, when basketball is over with and my time here is up, what else is there gonna be for me? There's got to be more to life than this ...
The first signs
As the spring semester wound down, Wayne Simien's teammates noticed a change.
One afternoon, Wayne Simien was riding in his black GMC Sierra with teammate, Mike Lee. It was a 50 Cent CD that wound up in Lee's hands that told Lee something was different.
"When I was in the truck with him, he was just giving me CDs," Lee said.
If it was not apparent Wayne Simien was changing by his taste in music, it became clear to Lee, not too much later.
It was the afternoon Wayne climbed the steps on Wescoe Beach and yelled at the top of his lungs, announcing to all passersby the great discovery he had made in his life.
Lee, who had questions as to whether Simien was dedicated to his new lifestyle, put his doubts to rest and gained even more respect for his friend.
"When I heard about it, I was back in Portland, and he called and told me," Lee said. "I believed it, but I was like 'Yeah, I gotta see it to believe it.' He did it though, and I think it takes a lot of guts to do what Wayne did."
Anyone who knew Wayne Simien before, however, would have had the same reservations as Lee.
"I had the fame, successful career so far, a platform, girls, status," Wayne said. "Basically, my freshman and sophomore year, I had everything that the world said should make me happy."
After giving his life to God, for the first time Wayne said he had true happiness.
do without it. Now, the current Wayne, I just see it as a tool to use in this season of my life.
"You know, basketball I defi-
titely don't see in the same light as
I did before," he said. "The 2001
Wayne would ask what would I
"Obviously, it's not going to be there forever, but my relationship with the Lord and the things I can do as far as trying to help other people know the same love that I know, that'll be there as long as I live," Wayne said.
The new posse
When Wayne Simien decided to change his lifestyle, it also meant he surrounded himself with a new supporting cast.
One of the most influential role models in Wayne's life now is his roommate, Dan Coke.
Coke helped Wayne at the onset of his quest for a new lifestyle last year, and he set a great example. Wayne admired that while being a member of the Kansas football team, Coke was enrolled in 24-credit hours and was also working intensively with Victory Campus Ministries.
appear holier than thou.
When Wayne became involved with VCM, cynics thought it was just another big-name athlete making a superficial ploy to
"Well, it's really popular in the athletic world to stand up and say I'd like to thank God," said Erik Fish, Midwest regional representative for VCM. "Knowing Wayne on a more personal level, I saw the way he treated others in private, the way he lives and the way he really cared about people."
The new Wayne Simien
It's a chilly Thursday night and you can feel winter coming in the air.
At this hour, campus seems like a ghost town, and most students are either at home studying or getting ready to head out to the bars.
A small crowd gathers outside one of the lecture halls in Wescoe Hall. Leaning up against a wall is Wayne Simien, and, physically, he looms over everyone else, with a personality to match.
to fraternize, worship and learn God's lessons.
He's got something to talk about with everyone who walks by, whether it's about the Chiefs, clothes or music.
Inside the hall, just like every Thursday night, students come
Inside the lecture hall, Wayne Simien stands in the front row, swaying his body with the songs of worship performed by his good friend, Mitch Langley. There's lights and speakers, the whole nine yards. It's a long way from 50 Cent, and that's part of the reason he loves it so much — just like his life now, this music has a meaning and a message special to Wayne.
You give and take away,
You give and take away
You give and take away
God is on his mind, all day,
every day.
My heart will choose to say. Blessed be your name.
"In class, I'll be like 'Wayne, you payin' attention?'?" Lee said. "And he's like 'Yeah, yeah,' and he's reading his Bible, highlight-ing stuff.
And this is just one of many ways Wayne shows his love for God.
"His whole focus is different," Lee said. "I think one of the best things that did for him is that he doesn't just waste his time, you know, going out, entertaining all the girls and that stuff. It's a total turnaround from where he was as a freshman."
Even now, Wayne leads a Bible study for his teammates and is an active member and contributor at Morning Star Church.
In his mind, his place is just as another guy spreading God's message; not a preseason All-American on one of the nation's top college basketball teams, a player who is staring at millions in NBA dollars this summer.
There was no better example of this than this past Halloween.
The Morning Star Church held a Harvest Party for its youth group. Wayne wanted to stop by and hang out, but basketball practice went late, and by the time he showed up sweaty and exhausted, the church was trashed, with popcorn everywhere.
Wayne began on clean-up duty, and noticed one of the high school kids staring at him.
"I just asked him 'What you
starin' at?" you know, just messaging with him. He just said it was awesome to see someone who has the potential to sign a multimillion dollar contract next year, and he's out here vacuuming the church floor late at night."
Looking back
Wayne Simien does not make excuses for the way he used to act. He is consumed with how fulfilling his life is now, how he has found a joy never before felt and how he wants others to feel the same love as him.
With the pressure of making himself happy lifted from his shoulders, Wayne began to play basketball with nothing to lose.
Wayne showed it last season, leading the team in points per game (17.8) and rebounds per game (9.3). He was ultimately named a Third Team All-American by The Associated Press, and returning for his senior season, he is staring down a first-round draft spot in June's NBA Draft.
They'll get a man who knows that all the superficial temptations that come with the NBA lifestyle cannot change him from the spiritually-satisfied person he's become.
Wherever Wayne goes in the NBA, the organization will get more than a basketball player.
He does not make excuses, but if he had the chance to visit Wayne Simien circa 2001, Wayne knows he would have tried to open his eyes much earlier.
"Man, just that you have an awesome destiny, and that it doesn't start with yourself," he said. "With the platform that athletics have, not only on this campus, but in society, you know, it could be used for something so much greater than free drinks at the club."
"Use the ability and the talent and that platform that people give you for something greater than yourself."
